Poland Bans Online Gambling Despite EU Objections: Poker a "Gambling Game"
Patrick Flanigan
Poland has banned online gambling though they were somewhat soft on bookmakers while objecting more to poker as a "Gambling Game" leading to addiction
The European Union has widely objected to its member nation's attacks on Internet gambling over the years though some, like France, are beginning to embrace competition. Poland is the latest to move towards prohibition however.
This week, Poland's President, Bronislaw Komorowski, signed a bill that would ban online gambling.
Bookmakers can still run sites in Poland but servers must be located outside the country in other European Union nations. A .pl domain name must also be utilized when targeting Polish citizens.
"Poker is a gambling game, based on a random element," said Jacek Kapica, the undersecretary to the Ministry of Finance. "World, it's a game, leading to addiction."
Many pundits do not believe such a policy will stand in according with the EU.

Polyphasic taxonomic approach in the description of Alishewanella fetalis gen. nov., sp nov., isolated from a human foetus

A taxonomically unique bacterium is described on the basis of a physiological and biochemical characterization, fatty acid profiling and sequence analyses of 16S rRNA and gyrase B (gyrB) genes. This non-motile, non-fermentative bacterium was isolated from a human foetus in Uppsala, Sweden, and originally misidentified as ii Shewanella putrefaciens by conventional biochemical testing. The bacterium grew well at mesophilic temperatures with optimum growth at 37 degrees C. It was facultatively anaerobic and utilized various electron accepters (trimethylamine oxide, nitrate, nitrite and thiosulphate). The dominant fatty acids were 17:1B, 16:1 cis9 17:0 and 16:0. Fatty acids 13:0 iso and 15:0 iso, which have been found to be typical of Shewanella species were not detected. The G+C content of the DNA was 50.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed a clear affiliation with members of the gamma subclass of the Proteobacteria. No relationship was seen with any of the established genera in the gamma subclass of the Proteobacteria, although a distinct relationship with Vibrionaceae was observed. That the bacterium represents a novel bacterial genus distinct from Vibrionaceae was also supported by gyrB sequence analysis. Considering the source and close proximity to the genus Shewanella, the name Alishewanella fetalis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, for which the type strain is strain CCUG 30811(T).

Montsho could still surprise the world
The return of Botswana 400m princess to the track has sparked excitement within the athletics paradise. KETUMILE RAMATITI concurs with the argument that her return must be celebrated.
Once Botswana's athletic queen, Amantle Montsho, now 34 years, has returned to the track two years after International Athletics Association Federation (IAAF) suspended her for doping. The 400m runner would be aiming to turn back the clock with a seemingly practical victory at the upcoming National championships, World relays in Bahamas and World champs in London later this year.
The Maun born runner was suspended apparently for consuming a prohibited substance Methlyhexaneamine in 2014 at the Commonwealth Games in Scotland. However, when Weekendsport visited the runner in one of her morning training sessions this week, Montsho looked like that timid and vigorous 21 year old girl who was hungry for success in the build up to the 2004 Athens Olympics where she set a 400m national record of 53:77. In training, her energy would leave the greenhorns like Galefele Moroko and Lydia Jele ashamed of themselves, and indeed confirming the return of one of distinguished Botswana athlete.
"I have been doing gym sessions and road work," said Montsho who has maintained that 2010 physical structure and shape when she clinched a number of major title. Her passion and discipline to continue training even at a time when dogs were barking at her, is a potent that could ensure that she feeds the doubting thomases who have already drafted her obituary a humble pie.
"She is a very disciplined athlete and we are happy for her return. If you look at how she performs in training there is no difference between her and those who have been around," said Montsho's coach, Mogomotsi Otsetswe. Other athletics coaches who spoke to this publication also echoed her discipline and believe that it will be an X-factor in her return to the track.
"Her discipline is the only factor that differentiates her from the rest and I believe she hasn't regressed much because she is so committed to the sport," Coach Chilume Ntshwarang added. The golden girl as the athlete was fondly called at the height of her career in 2010, is not rushing for any medal thus far, but with her mentality as seen on Thursday morning, Montsho will walk away with a medal in the upcoming national championships where she has focused her energy.
"My eyes are primarily set for the national championships," said the typically shy but hardworking Montsho. Before her forced hibernation by the athletics authorities, Montsho's had an illustrious athletic career with her all time personal best of 49:33 in the world championships.
This time around with the same event on the line the athlete is not brave enough to challenge for a medal, but other competitors have all the reasons to worry as she is aiming to remove all the negativity that surrounds her. The athlete who revealed that she will resign after this athletic season as age is not on her side, has a point to prove to the world, and the World relays and World Champs present that opportunity to further embed her name on the hearts of many.
With age not on her side and many saying a medal is an impracticable dream for the runner, Montsho agrees; "Batswana shouldn't expect anything much from me, I'm just gaining my fitness." However, with age comes experience and it is expected to be rubbed to other curbing athletes. "Everyone want to record a better time compared to that of Montsho hence the competition is now high in the team," Otsetswe said.
The 34 year old will be looking to ride on the same lane used by among others, 40 year old Kim Collins who competed at last year's Olympics. Another coach, Oabona Theetso, is of the view that this return will boost the development of a girl child. "It is a major boost for the 400m ladies team, we need her experience to motivate them since she was their mentor.
They would all want to prove their mettle against her especially in the national championships where everyone would be watching." Perhaps Theetso is right, as the young athletes were all in smiles when doing drills with the former World Champion.

A section of troubled First Division South outfit, Mochudi Centre Chiefs are said to pulling out all stops to ensure that the club finally transitions into a company amid reports of instability and divisions.
According to a leaked letter from founders who are represented by Sexton Kowa and Ramocha Tsieng, the society has taken a decision to request Thapelo Tsheole who is currently the chairman, to hand over the team back to the society.
" Following the resolution passed by the members of the Mochudi Centre Chiefs Sporting Club(society) at its annual(AGM) held on the 18th August 2019 at Ntefo Conference facility in Mochudi to convert the society to a company limited by shares and with consent of the society, a company was duly incorporated on the 21st February 2020 being Mochudi Centre Chiefs (Proprietary) Limited, (the company) by six founders of the Society namely, Messrs, Aaron Ramosako, Molefi Sexton Kowa, Joel Mpete, Archie Aphiri, Rejoice Tlhowe, and Tshepo Aphiri (herein "The Funders" ), represented by Mr Molefi Sexton Kowa and Mr Ramocha Tsieng. The AGM further resolved that once the company was formed, the affairs of the society will be handed over to the company to manage," reads the part of the missive written to Tsheole.
Contacted for comment, Mochudi Centre Chiefs President, Thapelo Tsheole stated that he is yet to officially receive the letter but has seen it from a friend who has seen it circulating on social media. "I cannot comment on the issue further because it was shown to me by a friend who saw it circulating on social media; but we will give it the attention it deserves and I plead with Centre Chiefs faithful to be calm," he said.
The club president intends to keep his eyes on the ball: "We will handle the issue with the utmost respect because at the end of the day Mochudi Centre Chiefs brand should be the winner and this should always be our aim." Tsheole has been leading the side and was tasked with reviving the team and bringing them back to the elite league.
The circulating letter is a culmination of power struggle between Tsheole and the so-called founders of the club. Sources speaking with WeekendSport state that Tsheole wanted both Directors to cede 75 percent of their shares to society as he believes the transitional route from society to a company has been bypassed.
Tsheole officially raised his hand for the first time this year, in an attempt to bring an end to more than a decade of controversy over Chiefs' ownership, and appeared to have pinned his hopes on reaching an agreement with both Kowa and Ramotlhwa because of their status and good standing as former Chiefs' administrators.
However, those close to developments believed that Tsheole, who also leads Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE), was wasting his time trying to negotiate with the duo, who were already determined to resist all efforts. This follows unsuccessful negotiations where both Directors were alleged to have been left in utter shock concerning the approach and presentation of the Chairman.
While the two Directors would not be drawn to comment, it is said they are both hamstrung to divulge deeper details to Tsheole because of his ambition to transform the club. While Tsheole thought he was jumping off the hoops for the club, the two directors seem not to appreciate his efforts.
Tsheole, was reportedly surprised when he tried to register a commercial footballing company on behalf of Mochudi Centre Chiefs. He deliberately chose the 'Mochudi Centre Chiefs' name because of its popularity as it remains a brand country wide.He found out that the company name already exists and is under the directorship of both Kowa and Ramotsha.
While Mochudi Center Chiefs PTY LTD was registered sometime in February of this year, there was another company, Centre Chiefs PTY LTD, associated with the club which has been in existence since the early 1990s. This is the same company that acquired a 7 hector piece of land in Mochudi.
The company had 7 directors namely Victor Kowa as the Executive Chairman, Ezekiel Mooki who was appointed the Technical Director, Serake Mfolwe holding the post of director of Marketing and Public Relations, Simon Mmopi coming as Director of Development, MacLean Letshwiti holding the fort as Director of Finance, Sexton Kowa who was Youth Development Director, and Kgafela Kgafela who occupied the post of Director of Legal Affairs and Board Secreta.
Zebras midfielder, Mothusi Cooper is set to be one of the top paid players at his new club, Lusaka Dynamos, following his move from Township Rollers on a two-year deal with an option to extend by a year.
The 23 year-old who joined Township Rollers from Extension Gunners in 2018 has proved to be one of the best midfielders in the country. Cooper's new contract will see him smile all the way to the bank as he is expected to earn US$ 2500 monthly (about P25 000) with a winning bonus of US$ 350 (about P3 500) per game. The Tsabong-born player is said to have already received P250 000.00 signing-on fee from the club.
"At Rollers he was getting around P13 000 and with COVID-19 effects his pay had went down so he could not resist such an offer. He also had ambitions to play abroad so with such opportunities sometimes you have to take them because they may come once in a lifetime since football is a short career," said a source at Rollers.
Cooper, who was recently unveiled by Lusaka Dynamos has agreed personal terms with the club, but negotiations between the two clubs are yet to be completed. "Cooper is on his way to Zambia but we are yet to sign the final documents with Dynamos as we been negotiating with them. We are hopefully that everything will be signed any moment but we have agreed to let the player go since he agreed terms with the team," said Township Rollers club President, Jagdish Shah.
Lusaka Dynamos owner and director, Hanif Adams revealed that the deal is done and they will do everything to finalise pending matters. "We expect Cooper to be here this Friday and it will be up to the coach whether to play him or not when we face Green Eagles this weekend," revealed Hanif Adams who is a respected businessman in Zambia.
Zambian sports journalist, Puncherello Chama has cautioned Cooper that he will have to fight his way to be on the first eleven of his new side. "Cooper is an exciting player and he has impressed Zambians during our two games against Zebras and already fans this side are looking forward to see him in action but he will have to fight for a starting place in Patrick Phiri led team," he said.
"And should Cooper perform well this side I believe it will open more doors for other Botswana players to come this side, people should not undermine the Zambian league as it is ranked 7th in Africa and it has exported players all over the world in the past years."
Lusaka Dynamos who are nicknamed The Elite, are currently on 10th position in Zambian MTN Super League table and have lost their last game to Prison Leopards 4-2 but the club hopes to redeem itself this year when they take on Green Eagles Saturday (today).
Mosiamanegape Tshoswane
The current crop of Zebras strikers is arguably apocryphal, and the vicissitude engulfing the national team has rendered them to a 'milk and water' status – very weak! Zebras is currently playing AFCON qualifiers and the team has scored a mere two goals in four matches!
Don't be fooled by the 1-0 win against Zambia recently, it's just an eye wash, win and loss in football are like Kith and Kin – the bottom-line is that our strikers are evidently gentlemen at large!
This damning conclusion on the senior men National Team is deduced from the lethargic performances since the maiden appearance at the AFCON 2012. It is a fact that the frontline attack has grown toothless since returning from their maiden AFCON cup qualifiers in February of 2012.
This is not just a squawk about Zebras strike force without basis. To steer clear of any assumed malice, here is why every firm football fan could be steamed up right now – ever since the disappearance of striker Jerome Jay Jay Ramatlhakwane, none of the selected strikers is hitting the net consistently as he once did! They have all literally failed to step into JJ shoes.
Between the 2015 and 2019 AFOCN Qualifiers, it has been uninspiring performances from the Zebras men in front of the goals. The strikers have played nine (9) rounds of games and they have scored only twice. While we could be stirring up a hornet's nest with this matter of fact write-up, we are prepared to stick to our guns – the current crop of strikers is failing the national team.
It shouldn't appear we trying to stretch the truth. Let's look at the 2012 qualifying rounds, Zebras played eight (8) games and scored seven (7) times. Striker Jay Jay alone found the net five (5) times hence ascending to the summit of the top scorers' list in Africa alongside deadly Senegalese striker, Mamadou Niang. At a personal level, this was a wonderful, hard-earned moment of sporting grace for the monstrous built striker whose body built suited his Zebras role to a T. His scoring ability remains unmatched up to now.
For far too long, The Zebras players, strikers to be more precise, have become little more than spectators in any African Cup of Nations qualifying scoring race. By extension, the future of scoring players mirrors a tomorrow that may never come. Ever since the remarkable and buccaneering record set during the wonderful seasons of striker Jerome Ramatlhakwane in 2011, The Zebras striking force has been nothing but a blunt knife – this is for the record.
Here is the sum and substance of our situation at the Zebras – four (4) AFCON finals passed without anybody hitting the net consistently. Other than trying and experimenting with a handful of strikers, our tiny land locked country struggled to find its way out of a mediocre zone.
But along the visible lines of pedestrian performances, the name of Jerome Ramatlhakwane remains popular in this country and by extension, Southern Africa. Believe it or not, Jay-Jay as he is popularly known, has built a legacy for himself that is unrivalled.
He is arguably one of the most highly acclaimed footballers this country has birthed, albeit with little success due to lack of exposure and many other obstacles the robust player has experienced in his football career. Ramatlhakwane has been both the darling and the villain in the media and in the country for the display he provides on the field of play.
With the senior national team failing to score goals, one wonders how Jay-Jay used to find the back of the net with such ease. Records are here for everyone to see but as Mark Twain argued, 'facts are stubborn and statistics are pliable.'
With a career spanning from 2006 till date, Jay-Jay is Botswana's all-time leading goal scorer, having found the back of the net on 21 occasions, with 53 caps under his belt and counting. Jay-Jay's skill as a box striker is second to none; the striker is a marvel to watch on the field of play. His agility and sheer love of the game gives him an aura of a warrior on the battlefield.
That is why it is hard to comprehend why Jay-Jay is still a local player, why scouts haven't scooped him up. A player of his calibre and the skill he possess as a finisher makes it obvious that he could be destined for greater things. Jay-Jay would make for a pronounced addition to any international club.
Hot on his heels is Botswana's poster boy, Diphetogo Selolwane who hanged his boots post the 2012 AFCON showpiece. He has 18 goals from 68 caps in a football career that kick started in 1998.
In terms of play, Selolwane and Tshepiso Molwantwa, the famous jersey number 9 owner, are better than Jay-Jay but when it comes to statistics, Jay-Jay has the upper hand, this leaves one to ponder; is this what Mark Twain meant when he argued that statistics can be bent?
It's a shock to learn that Molwantwa has won himself 44 international caps but only 8 recognized goals. We take a dim view of Molwantwa when it comes to goals scored but take heart in his selfless maneuvers on the field of play.
In modern Botswana football, Omaatla Kebatho of Orapa United and the late Oliver Phikati have all failed to rise to the occasion and with coaches not willing to give Teenage Orebonye enough opportunities, the Zebras' striking situation has been a well-documented issue that portrays how and why The Zebras have failed to move up in the world rankings. JJ should have shown some of these players the ropes.
There seems to be no striker who will soon surpass Jay-Jay. The likes of Jomo Moatlhaping and Joel Mogorosi who have practically retired may have given the dominant striker a run for his money. Mogorosi is sitting third on the rankings with 14 goals from 79 appearances.
Only Onkabetse Makgantai can turn the tide on Jay-Jay's story, should he come to the party. Onkabetse stands at 12 international caps with 5 goals, a far cry from what Jay-Jay resume reads. But in a squad that is losing its renowned defensive stability, Jerome can still score top marks in all aspects of the game, especially when he is working with a crafty midfielder.
Looking back at that goal reel, if ever there is one, in among the bullet headers, the tap-ins, the dinks and spins, there is a sense of man constructing a monument for himself. For Jay-Jay, the 2012 AFCON showpiece may have been the last significant mark to pass. One that may not, all things considered, be surpassed. All the hope we have on the current crop of strikers – just a shot in the dark!


If you're anything like me, then the idea of making every component of Christmas dinner, on the day, is stressful. I'm a huge fan of making as many things as possible the day before. That way, I can actually enjoy the day itself! One of those things that always seems to add to last minute stress is gravy. Because you're waiting for the pan drippings to start, you're often trying to finish the gravy just when everything else is needing mashing/plating/mixing/etc.
That's why Richard and I are such huge fans of this recipe from Jamie Oliver! It might take hours to make, but gives you a gravy that you can make the day before, or even the week before and freeze. (When I say it takes hours, most of that time is spent in the oven, or simmering on the stove.) Then, on the big day, you simply add in your drippings, heat, and serve! I also like that it allows you to perfect the gravy, rather than rushing it, as most people agree gravy is very important!
I forgot to take a photo of the actual gravy once it was done, but I think we all know what gravy looks like 😉 Also, I used parchment paper in the tray, but regretted it later, as you kind of want the stuff to burn/brown on the bottom of the tray.
So if you've got a bit of time today or tomorrow, why not save yourself the hassle, and make your gravy ahead of time?
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roughly chop the bacon and set aside.
Peel the onions, wash the carrots and celery, and roughly chop all vegetables.
Break the chicken wings open, and bash with a rolling pin to help release extra flavour. Place in the tray.
Drizzle everything with oil, season with salt + pepper, and toss. Cook for 1 hour, or until vegetables are tender.
Remove the tray from the oven and transfer to a low heat on the stove. Really grind and mash everything with a potato masher, scraping up all the goodness from the base of the tray (the longer you let it fry, the darker your gravy will be).
Add the sherry/port (opt.) now and allow to simmer for a few minutes.
Gradually stir in the flour, then pour in 2 litres of boiling water. Simmer for 30+ minutes, or until thickened and reduced, stirring occasionally.
When the gravy is the consistency you like, pour it through a coarse sieve into a large bowl, squeezing out as much liquid as you can with the back of a spoon.
Taste and season, cool to room temperature, then pour into containers or bags and pop into the fridge or freezer, ready to finish off on the day.
When your turkey is ready and resting, skim away most of the fat and pour your gravy into the tray with the rest of the turkey juices.
Bring to the boil on the stove, and scrape up all those sticky bits from the base. Have a taste, and season if necessary.


if you bring your chlorine level up and hold it up for a few days does it fade?
It could be a heavy metal stain. Theres products that can be purchased that can remove them. I use one called stain free, It has worked great in the past.
First is the stains dark or black in color or get worse when you add chlorine/shock your pool? Whats your PH? You'll probably need to raise your ph before adding.

Leyard and Planar, global leaders in visualization products, announced they have expanded their presence in the United States by adding the assembly, configuration and testing of LED video wall products to their manufacturing facility in Hillsboro, Ore.
Through Leyard's acquisition of Planar in late 2015, the combined company is unique in its ability to leverage core LED technology and supply chain as the worldwide leader in fine pitch LED while designing, engineering, manufacturing, servicing and marketing LED products in North America to meet the needs of western markets. Leyard and Planar are also bringing products to partners and customers across the United States with five new showrooms and their second annual product roadshow, Video Wallapalooza 2017.
To support the assembly, configuration and testing of LED video walls at the Hillsboro facility, the company has added new employees to their manufacturing organization, representing a 50 percent growth over the past 18 months. Leyard and Planar are also able to better serve customers by adding 35 percent more headcount to their U.S. customer service organization in the last year. Additionally, Leyard and Planar will be expanding their manufacturing facilities in Hillsboro in 2018.
The hiring expansion comes on the heels of the Global LED Display Market Report by Futuresource Consulting that for the second consecutive year ranked Leyard as the global market leader in narrow pixel pitch LED displays. The expanded teams demonstrate the company's commitment to maintaining their global market leader position by providing the most innovative LED display technology.
Product Showrooms Across the U.S.
As Leyard and Planar expand their U.S. operations, they are bringing products to reseller partners and customers across America with the opening of five new showrooms in major U.S. cities. In Spring 2017, showrooms opened in New York City and Washington, D.C. and this fall, three more showrooms opened in Miami, Chicago and Portland, Ore.
The showrooms include demonstration areas that enable visitors to see Leyard and Planar's groundbreaking LED video walls, award-winning LCD display solutions and other advanced display technology. Participants can also attend scheduled training events, including a wide range of Certified Technology Specialist (CTS) courses and continuing education classes certified by the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
In addition to their permanent showrooms, Leyard and Planar are bringing products and training events to 10 American cities through Video Wallapalooza 2017, a two-month roadshow. The second annual Video Wallapalooza kicked off in Cincinnati on Aug. 30 and will end in Atlanta on Nov. 9 with two-day events also scheduled in Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, Nashville, Seattle, San Francisco, Houston and St. Louis.
Leyard and Planar sales, marketing and product teams will be on site at Video Wallapalooza 2017 to offer product demonstrations. Participants also have the opportunity to take product installation courses, as well as attend one-hour technology and product courses.

Scipio Sighele (Brescia, 24 juni 1868 - Florence, 21 oktober 1913) was een Italiaanse advocaat, criminoloog en pionier op het gebied van de massapsychologie. Zijn werk was van invloed op Gabriel Tarde, Gustave le Bon en Sigmund Freud. Hij wordt gerekend tot de positivistische school (van Cesare Lombroso en Enrico Ferri).

Zijn boek De menigte als misdadiger uit 1892 werd een internationale bestseller (onder andere vanuit het Italiaans vertaald in het Frans, Spaans en Nederlands). De menigte als misdadiger beschrijft voornamelijk de kenmerken van twee typen van massavorming: die van jury's, vergaderingen en commissies en die van volksopstanden. Bij de eerste vorm van massavorming ziet Sighele voornamelijk het mogelijke verval van de rationele besluitvorming. Sighele, die als beroep advocaat was, geeft een aantal voorbeelden van overduidelijk schuld in een misdrijf die vervolgens door jury's onverwacht tot vrijspraak beoordeelt worden en soms zelf de tegenpartij bestraffen. Ook bij de volksopstanden treedt er volgens Sighele een soort hypnotische situatie op die zorgt voor het wegvallen van intelligentie, opkomen van wreedheid en wellustigheid. De eerste druk in het Italiaans beslaat enkel deel I. Bij de heruitgave en ook de Nederlandse uitgave zijn er nog twee delen toegevoegd ter uitbreiding. Hij herzag in het tweede deel zijn visie iets, onder andere door de inzichten van Ferri en Tarde. Het derde deel betreft een polemiek van diverse schrijvers, waaronder Tarde.

De inhoud van Sighele's boek bevat meer historische voorbeelden van opstanden (voornamelijk in Italië) dan het vergelijkbare boek van Le Bon. Beide auteurs komen min of meer tot gelijke beschrijvingen hoe de jury- en opstandmassa's zich manifesteren en gedragen.

Open champ Padraig Harrington got a major boost when he spotted fans wearing ladybird tee shirts as he warmed up.
The shirts feature the logo: "Can you put Ladybirds in it?" with the word 'Padraig' emblazoned underneath.
Delighted to get all three shirts signed by the Open champion, Airey said: "We loved it when little Paddy ran out on 18th green last year.
Open contender Rocco Mediate has a major connection with Waterville - home to his close pal Mark "Muppet" Murphy.
But the runner-up to Tiger Woods in June's US Open hasn't managed to make a trip to the Kerry golfing heartland to celebrate with his Irish friend.
Tied with Graeme McDowell on two-over par, Rocco said: "I wanted to go see Murph' but I didn't have time. I think he's at home.
Pro golfer Murphy lived with Mediate in Florida a few years ago and hosts the American on his Irish visits.
Tennis legend Chris Evert says it was "good genetics" that attracted her to the Great White Shark Greg Norman.
Evert and Norman, both 53, tied the knot in a high security wedding in Bermuda last month.
But 18-time major winner Evert confessed that Norman's "angular' physique cuaght her eye years before they actually met in person.
A fan of Norman since the 80s, Evert said: "I also liked to watch a little bit of Seve Ballesteros and Jack Nicklaus but Greg had great charisma.
Norman has taken up tennis recently and while he reckons he's an 18 to 20 handicapper. But Evert has not plans to take up golf.
Padraig Harrington has scorched up the betting charts after his second round 68 at Birkdale.
The Dubliner was out of 33/1 after struggling with his wrist injury on Wednesday but is now an 8/1 shot with Paddy Power to win back-to-back-majors behind KJ Choi.
Jim Furyk is the next best fancy at 9/1 with Graeme McDowell a 14/1 chance.
Paddy Power took a major hit last year when Harrington lifted the Claret Jug.
And their decision to play each way on the top 7 this year could be expensive.
Before the start, a spokesman said: "We're still counting the cost of the damage that Harrington did to us last year.
"Every Irish person seemed to have a few quid on him and this year seems no different with a frenzy of ante-post support for the Dubliner already."
Padraig Harrington handed back the Claret Jug at Royal Birkdale yesterday and immediately made plans to tuck it back into his hand luggage on Sunday night.
The Dubliner, 36, knows how close he came to becoming another Open clown at Carnoustie last year when he survived a final hole meltdown and dodged a bullet from Sergio Garcia before winning in sudden-death.
Padraig Harrington won the Open thanks to an SOS to world No 2 Phil Mickelson.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes paid a major price for their role in Padraig Harrington's successful Open Championship defence.
Greg Norman played an unwitting part in Padraig Harrington's fifth place finish in the Open at Muirfield in July 2002. Just a week before the Open, the pair played an exhibition match at Doonbeg in Co Clare to mark the official opening of the Australian's Irish links design.

Prominent Radio Engineer Charlie Morgan Dies, Age 82
He chaired the standards-setting NRSC during debates over IBOC digital radio, AM standards and FM data displays
Text has been updated with additional information.
Longtime radio broadcast engineering executive Charlie Morgan has died. He was 82, according to an obituary in the Times Leader of Wilkes Barre, Pa., carried on Legacy.com.
When Morgan retired, he was senior VP of radio for Susquehanna Radio Corp. But many in radio knew him as the onetime chairman of the National Radio Systems Committee, a standards-setting body that is managed jointly by representatives of the U.S. radio broadcasting and consumer electronics industries.
NRSC played an important role in the industry's contentious debate about digital radio, including the system of in-band, on-channel digital radio that came to be HD Radio. It also developed a series of AM broadcast standards, and the radio data standards used to display song title and artist information on analog FM receivers.
Morgan received the National Association of Broadcasters Radio Engineering Achievement Award in 1994.
When he resigned his position at an NRSC meeting in 2007, the applause and a standing ovation lasted more than a full minute, Radio World reported then. He was quoted at the time: "I have served as your chairman for well over 20 years and have seen the adoption of AM transmission standards, RDS, and most recently, the IBOC digital radio standards. The NRSC has not only set standards, but has become a venue for industry dialogue on various technical issues, most recently, the surround sound recommendations." He later formed a consultancy.
According to the obituary, he was a charter member of the Society of Broadcast Engineers and former member of the NAB Engineering Advisory Committee, where he chaired its AM Improvement Committee. He also was founding owner and operator of an FM station in Pittston, Pa.
David Layer, senior director, advanced engineering at the National Association of Broadcasters, called Morgan "a died-in-the-wool broadcaster and a great gentleman." He met Morgan in 1995 when Layer started working at NAB and the National Radio Systems Committee, which is co-sponsored by NAB and CTA.
"Charlie was a natural in the NRSC chair post because of his deep engineering knowledge, his complete familiarity with the broadcast industry and the business of broadcasting, and because he commanded the respect and admiration of the entire NRSC membership," Layer wrote in an email. "He had a great sense of humor and a gentle manner and he taught me a lot about working with broadcasters and getting things done within a committee. He was missed when he retired from his NRSC work and now he will be missed more than ever."

Do you know what the test skates are?
#FigureSkating
Gabriella Izzo (USA) att he ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (LAT) 2019©International Skating Union (ISU)
Many National Figure Skating Federations hold "test skates" at the beginning of the season where their top skaters present their new programs to judges and technical specialists to receive valuable feedback. These test skates take place in August or September and they are generally closed to the public, sometimes allowing Media to attend.

USA and Canada invite their national team members to a camp that lasts a few days. Smaller Federations such as Germany might just gather their skaters for two days to show their programs. The Figure Skating Federation of Russia is the only Federation that has turned these test skates into a real event with ticket sales.

NRL Spine Rater: How every club's 1-6-7-9 stacks up, strengths and weaknesses
The Raiders get an A+ while the Tigers' key men get a C.Source: FOX SPORTS
Simon Brunsdon from Fox Sports@simonbrunsdon
They're the four men holding a rugby league team together - the one, six, seven, and nine.
And they could make the difference between your NRL club being a title contender or an also-ran.
We've rated every team's predicted spine for the 2020 season.

Predicted spine: 1 Ryan Papenhuyzen 6 Cameron Munster 7 Jahrome Hughes 9 Cameron Smith
Experience: 587 NRL games
Rating: B+
Strength: Diversity. Melbourne is lucky to have one of the game's greatest ever players in Cameron Smith, alongside out-and-out star Cameron Munster in key positions. But the Storm's biggest strength is the ability to switch players in the spine at will. It's already been floated Smith could make an in-game move to halfback, allowing young hooker Harry Grant to come off the bench and play rake, although it now looks like Grant will be leased to the Tigers on a swap deal. Jahrome Hughes can play fullback among a number of positions, freeing up young Papenhuyzen to act as a utility if need be. Craig Bellamy has options at his disposal.
Weakness: Hughes is more recognised as a fullback than a halfback, and the jury is still out on his ability to game manage. That increases the workload on Smith and Munster... and luckily they are two of the game's elite. Hughes is a solid footballer and can be a star in his own right, but there's no doubting Melbourne could benefit from having a genuine No.7.

Predicted spine: 1 James Tedesco 6 Luke Keary 7 Kyle Flanagan 9 Jake Friend
Rating: A
Strength: The Chooks have the best fullback (possibly player) in rugby league, arguably the best No.6, and one of the most experienced hookers in their spine. The combination between James Tedesco and Luke Keary is elite, and is the key to their attacking success. Jake Friend was injury plagued in 2019, but the emergence of rookie rake Sam Verrills was one of the best stories of their season. He may even push ahead of Friend for the starting jersey this year.
Weakness: Kyle Flanagan has only played nine NRL games to date, and this will be his first full season in the top league. It's a fair difference to having NRL legend Cooper Cronk steering the ship, and young Flanagan will have a lot of expectation on his shoulders. But he couldn't ask for better teammates around him to help out.

BLOW-UP: Leilua reveals Stuart told him 'you're not good enough for this team'
Predicted spine: 1 Latrell Mitchell 6 Cody Walker 7 Adam Reynolds 9 Damien Cook
Strength: Damien Cook is one of the top three hookers in rugby league, and he can break a game open with his running from dummy-half. His combination with Cody Walker is lethal when they're both on song. Walker didn't have his best season last year, but if he can perform at his best more consistently in 2020, the Rabbitohs will be more than a handful for every opposition side.
Weakness: Latrell Mitchell is still an unknown quantity as an NRL fullback. He's proven himself to be one of the most destructive centres in the game, but the jury is out on how he will perform with the No.1 on his back every week. His transition into a full-time fullback will make or break South Sydney's season.
Predicted spine: 1 Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 6 Jack Wighton 7 George Williams 9 Josh Hodgson
Experience: 297 NRL games, Williams 173 first grade games (Wigan)
Strength: All four members of this spine are tried and tested in their respective positions, and have proven to be top-quality players. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and Jack Wighton blossomed as an NRL fullback and five-eighth respectively in 2019, so much so they were integral in leading Canberra to a grand final. Wighton was man of the match in the controversial decider against the Roosters. Josh Hodgson is probably the best hooker in the game behind Cameron Smith, and one of the craftiest players in the competition. George Williams is untested in the NRL but he's been playing first grade in England for a long time, and has 11 international games to his name.
Weakness: While there's plenty of experience in the spine, Williams hasn't played with any of them bar Hodgson. He needs to learn the Raiders' playbook and find his place in the team as they gun for a second consecutive NRL grand final. But he's got plenty of experience and Ricky Stuart is confident the English halfback can be the final piece of the premiership puzzle.

Predicted spine: 1 Clint Gutherson 6 Dylan Brown 7 Mitchell Moses 9 Reed Mahoney
Strength: Dylan Brown is still only 19 years old, but is rated one of the more exciting young playmakers climbing the ranks in rugby league. His 2019 season was hampered by a back problem, which is worrying given his age, and it's fair to say we are yet to see the best of him in the NRL. Brown has the ability to break defences open and if he can stay fit and healthy, we could witness the emergence of another genuine star.
Weakness: Consistency seems to be a constant issue for Parramatta, and that's especially the case for halfback Mitchell Moses. At times during his career he's been touted as a State of Origin player, but at others he struggles to live up to that expectation. He needs to take control of the team to give his five-eighth Brown the best chance of blossoming as a star. He was good in 2019 and he needs to bring that form again.
Predicted spine: 1 Tom Trbojevic 6 Dylan Walker 7 Daly Cherry-Evans 9 Manase Fainu (provisionally suspended)
Strength: Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans - they are two of the best at what they do. Trbojevic is only young still but he's played Origin and internationals and is one of the competition's elite fullbacks. Cherry-Evans is a game manager with a deft kick, and has a knack for slotting field goals when the game's on the line. You have to give Manly a chance whenever these two are on the park.
Weakness: There's an unfortunate unknown surrounding the No.9 jersey. Manase Fainu has a court date looming to decide his guilt over a stabbing charge. If he is guilty then the Sea Eagles likely need to find a new hooker for the season. Danny Levi was recruited to the club this week and will play at hooker if Fainu can't.
Predicted spine: 1 Matt Moylan 6 Shaun Johnson 7 Chad Townsend 9 Blayke Brailey
Strength: Matt Moylan and Shaun Johnson.
Weakness: Matt Moylan and Shaun Johnson... they can both be elite players but we haven't seen enough of that since they joined Cronulla. Johnson in particular was signed as the big-money star from the Warriors but hasn't been able to fully hit his straps since arriving in the Shire. He's a game-winner when he's in form and the Sharks need those two firing if they have any chance of challenging for the title.

Predicted spine: 1 Jamayne Isaako 6 Anthony Milford 7 Brodie Croft 9 Andrew McCullough
Rating: C+
Strength: Jamayne Isaako is an exciting young talent and he's shown enough to suggest he will be more than handy at fullback this year. Darius Boyd and Anthony Milford filled the role in 2019 but came in for plenty of criticism. Isaako, 23, is fresh and fit and has his chance to grab hold of the No.1 jumper. There's plenty of pressure on him.
Weakness: The halves. Brodie Croft was supposed to be Cooper Cronk's successor at Melbourne but he never really reached the level many expected him to. The Storm ended up punting him from the position in favour of Jahrome Hughes, who is essentially a makeshift halfback. He's been given control of the team now - even added to the leadership group - and has to prove himself as a bona fide NRL No.7. His halves partner Milford has struggled to take control of a game and in recent seasons has been accused of going missing in big moments. The success of this side comes down to these two guys. There's not many excuses with the quality of forward pack at Brisbane.
Predicted spine: 1 Corey Thompson 6 Benji Marshall 7 Luke Brooks 9 Josh Reynolds
Rating: C
Strength: Experience. Combined they are one of the most experienced spines in the competition. Benji Marshall has played more than 300 games while Josh Reynolds is a former Origin player, and Luke Brooks has been around for long enough. Marshall in particular knows what to do in most situations on the park an can help Brooks steer the team when the pressure is on.
Weakness: Uncertainty. The Tigers are waiting to see if the NRL will stand Reynolds down before the season starts, and if that happens they will need a new hooker. Billy Walters is a five-eighth but could perform the role if asked, while the club has used Elijah Taylor there in the past. Melbourne young gun Harry Grant is reportedly on the verge of joining Concord on a lease basis, and that would go some way to solving their crisis. Jacob Liddle is expected back from injury mid-season.

Predicted spine: 1 Dylan Edwards 6 Jarome Luai 7 Nathan Cleary 9 Api Koroisau
Strength: The ceiling. Individually each of these guys can be genuinely exciting NRL players. Nathan Cleary is now an Origin player and Api Koroisau returns to the club on the back of some good form for Manly, where he was even being mentioned in Origin conversations. Jarome Luai is the youngster with plenty of talent and has a running game that could cut teams apart.
Weakness: Inexperience. Koroisau has been around the longest but the rest are still in the early stages of their football careers. While Cleary has played Origin already he will need to step up and take charge of the Panthers this year after the departure of James Maloney. The jury is still out on Cleary's ability to own a team. Dylan Edwards has dropped in and out of form, and the team, and will be under pressure from Caleb Aekins to keep his spot in the side.
Predicted spine: 1 Kalyn Ponga 6 Kurt Mann 7 Mitchell Pearce 9 Jayden Brailey
Strength: The seven-one combo. Mitchell Pearce is one of the most experienced halfbacks in the game, and Kalyn Ponga is the most talented young fullback. They've found a knack of being able to combine - particularly on the left edge - to create scoring opportunities for the Knights. When both players are at their best they make Newcastle a dangerous side with ball in hand.
Weakness: The team has struggled to settle on a permanent five-eighth, and that's contributed to making them left-side dominant in attack. Foxsports.com.au understands Kurt Mann will get first crack at the No.6 jumper and he will need to share an almost equal load to Pearce to give the Knights more attacking diversity across the park. If he fails, youngster Phoenix Crossland and also Mason Lino are banging down the door for that spot.

Predicted spine: 1 Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 6 Jack Cogger 7 Lachlan Lewis 9 Sione Katoa
Strength: Competition for spots. Brandon Wakeham is another young playmaker fighting to be in the Round 1 side, while Jeremy Marshall-King is the incumbent hooker but foxsports.com.au understands he has been injured. We also understand Kerrod Holland has been training to play as a bench hooker, while Nick Meaney can play fullback. Expect to see plenty of combinations tested through the spine at Belmore.
Weakness: The loss of Kieran Foran to a long-term injury has left the spine looking seriously inexperienced. Cogger and Lewis spent time in and out of the team in 2019, while Katoa is playing his first season at the club. It has potential to be a good unit but that's far from proven, and these guys will need to learn to work together fast.
Predicted spine: 1 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 6 Blake Green 7 Chanel Harris-Tavita 9 Wayde Egan
Strength: A Dally M Medallist as captain and fullback. No matter how the team performs, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is a picture of consistency and class. Unfortunately his own performance doesn't necessarily translate to that of his team's, and that's where the problems lie for Stephen Kearney's men.
Weakness: The halves pairing doesn't yet look like one that could take an NRL team deep into finals. Blake Green is the reliable veteran but he's probably not going to pull some magic trick out of his hat to win you a game. Chanel Harris-Tavita does have that ability but he's still far too young to expect him to do that consistently. Expect Harris-Tavita to improve in 2020 and hopefully the Warriors will be a better side for it. Kodi Nikorima will also play some role, whether it's off the bench or starting at hooker.

Predicted spine: 1 Valentine Holmes 6 Jake Clifford 7 Michael Morgan 9 Jake Granville
Strength: For the first time since Johnathan Thurston retired, the Cowboys can say they've got a marquee player. Valentine Holmes' addition to the line-up should make North Queensland look like a different team. That was the idea with Ben Barba last year, too, before that ended before it began. Holmes was an elite player when he left the game 18 months ago and if he can return to that level this season in Townsville, the Cowboys could be genuine contenders.
Weakness: Jake Granville was one of the club's best players when they won the competition in 2015, but he hasn't really looked the same since. The signing of young gun Reece Robson puts Granville's spot under serious threat, while Reuben Cotter is also in the mix for a role at hooker or off the bench. At least Paul Green has options at his disposal.
Predicted spine: 1 Zac Lomax 6 Corey Norman 7 Ben Hunt 9 Cameron McInnes
Strength: Individually each of these players can be stars of the game. Ben Hunt has plenty of big-game experience, Corey Norman has the talent to win on his own, and Zac Lomax was dubbed by Brad Fittler as the "gifted one". Cameron McInnes has been a picture of consistency for the Red V and he's been rewarded with the captaincy this year.
Weakness: For whatever reason, the Dragons' spine has struggled to gel on the field. Coach Paul McGregor adopted an in-game rotation policy - including also Gareth Widdop - last year which backfired. Matt Dufty was a part of that rotation and while he's proven he has the spark to light up a field, he hasn't proven he can compete at that level week on week. If Lomax is asked to be the full-time fullback in 2020 he will have plenty of responsibility on his young shoulders.
Predicted spine: 1 AJ Brimson 6 Tyrone Roberts 7 Ash Taylor 9 Nathan Peats
Rating: D
Strength: Gold Coast is paying $1 million for a halfback who, by his own admission, probably hasn't lived up to it yet. Ash Taylor's potential is so high that Matty Johns labelled him the best young halfback in the game. Reaching that potential is the key to the Titans.
Weakness: Well, same as their strength. Paying $1 million for a No.7 should make any NRL side at least half decent. So far Ash Taylor hasn't done that. And the other members of the spine - barring Tyrone Roberts - have also been performing well below their ceiling. Whatever the secret is to getting the best out of these players, new coach Justin Holbrook needs to find it quick.


KANSAS CITY, MO - There were some tense moments during game one between the Astros and the Royals....but the tension on the field Thursday night had nothing to do with the division game.
At the bottom of the second, with the Astros up 3-1, a light ran became a downpour and the massive tarp was pulled out between innings. But one member of the Kansas City grounds crew did not look "safe!"
High school senior Adam Wallace cried "foul" when he "slid" and was just moments away from becoming a human burrito. The announcer pointed out that Wallace narrowly escaped a very bad situation....and it's a good thing he is in good shape.
Once play resumed, the 'Stros gave up another run...but that was it. George Springer had a solo homer in the fifth and Colby Rasmus had one in the eighth. Final score: Astros - 5, Royals - 2.
As for Tarp Boy? He`s still on the grounds crew roster....but looking to become a free agent!

Get This, Not That - Lifeline
Lifeline and The Martian Official Game are both available on iOS and Android and are text-based games. It's the type of narrative where you end up down different decision tree paths depending on your responses. At least, that's the theory. These two games, while seemingly very similar, are vastly divergent in quality.
Lifeline gives you the sense that your decisions actually affect the outcome of the story. The plot is unique, engaging, and the gameplay through notifications via your iPhone or Apple Watch is quite interesting. After the game is over, you can play it in fast mode which accelerates the response time, which is a thoughtful feature. Not only did I not even get close to the end of The Martian Official Game, but the experience was the polar opposite. Maybe it was because I read the book and watched the movie already, but even the answer options and canned responses seemed extremely linear and boring. Both games are $0.99 but it's clear Lifeline is a better game. Just look at the 9,000+ ratings on iTunes or 47,000+ ratings in Google Play.
Availability: iOS & Android
iTunes Ratings: 4.5 Stars (9,074 reviews)
Google Play Ratings: 4.5 Stars (47,612 reviews)
Developer: 3 Minute Games
Don't let this review of the "official" game to mislead you to think I am not a fan of the book. If you want to enjoy The Martian, I highly recommend the audiobook. It's one of my favorite books this year and a great way to get into the world of audiobooks.

Q: Is there an equivalent to a C++ lock_guard in threading with Python? Beginning to work with the Python threading library  after coming from C++.
There exists a class in C++ called a lock_guard, in which the object takes control of a provided lock, and then destructs the lock_guard object & releases the lock upon exit of the scope in which the lock_guard was created.
After doing some research, it appears that using a with  statement with a Lock object to create a runtime context under the control of a context manager may be the closest equivalent. So, something like this...
myLock = threading.Lock()

with myLock:
    # My critical region here ...

My understanding is that the  with statement will release the lock upon exit, in similar fashion to a C++ lock_guard.
Is this a correct mapping to make?  If not, what is a better equivalent to a lock_guard in Python's threading library? And if so, is there nuance I am missing here?

The Freescape™ collection of products are designed to make life in the Outdoors more fun. The Large Lantern brings camp lighting to the next level. With a capacitive touch ring around the light, a light tap turns it on or off. A longer touch on the ring dims the light for those times when you don't need all estimated 250 lumens (lm) of light blasting through the campsite. Or, touch and hold that same ring and make it feel like daylight in the campsite or your tent. An easy to use, spring loaded handle clip makes the Large Lantern easy to hand from a tent or the rope you shimmied up the tree to hang. Powered by four D batteries, the lantern features four L.E.D.s on the front to indicate batter power remaining. To ensure that the batteries last as long as possible, in addition to the infinitely adjustable dimming feature, there is also a power kill switch to keep it off when stowed away with the rest of your gear. The IPX4 water resistance makes sure that even if it is left out overnight inthe rain, the Large Lantern is goign to keep shining bright.

## Description

До сих пор вы смотрели на регулярные выражения для выполнения буквальных совпадений строк. Но иногда, возможно, вы также захотите сопоставить разницу между случаями. Случай (или иногда буквенный регистр) - это разница между прописными и строчными буквами. Примеры прописных букв: "A" , "B" и "C" . Примеры строчных букв: "a" , "b" и "c" . Вы можете сопоставить оба случая с использованием так называемого флага. Существуют и другие флаги, но здесь вы сосредоточитесь на флагове, который игнорирует регистр - флаг i . Вы можете использовать его, добавив его в регулярное выражение. Примером использования этого флага является /ignorecase/i . Это регулярное выражение может соответствовать строкам "ignorecase" , "igNoreCase" и "IgnoreCase" .

## Instructions

Напишите регулярное выражение fccRegex для соответствия "freeCodeCamp" , независимо от его случая. Ваше регулярное выражение не должно соответствовать аббревиатурам или вариациям с пробелами.

## Tests

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your regex should match <code>freeCodeCamp</code>
    testString: assert(fccRegex.test('freeCodeCamp'));
  - text: Your regex should match <code>FreeCodeCamp</code>
    testString: assert(fccRegex.test('FreeCodeCamp'));
  - text: Your regex should match <code>FreecodeCamp</code>
    testString: assert(fccRegex.test('FreecodeCamp'));
  - text: Your regex should match <code>FreeCodecamp</code>
    testString: assert(fccRegex.test('FreeCodecamp'));
  - text: Your regex should not match <code>Free Code Camp</code>
    testString: assert(!fccRegex.test('Free Code Camp'));
  - text: Your regex should match <code>FreeCOdeCamp</code>
    testString: assert(fccRegex.test('FreeCOdeCamp'));
  - text: Your regex should not match <code>FCC</code>
    testString: assert(!fccRegex.test('FCC'));
  - text: Your regex should match <code>FrEeCoDeCamp</code>
    testString: assert(fccRegex.test('FrEeCoDeCamp'));
  - text: Your regex should match <code>FrEeCodECamp</code>
    testString: assert(fccRegex.test('FrEeCodECamp'));
  - text: Your regex should match <code>FReeCodeCAmp</code>
    testString: assert(fccRegex.test('FReeCodeCAmp'));

```

## Challenge Seed

```js
let myString = "freeCodeCamp";
let fccRegex = /change/; // Change this line
let result = fccRegex.test(myString);

```

## Solution

```js
let myString = "freeCodeCamp";
let fccRegex = /freecodecamp/i; // Change this line
let result = fccRegex.test(myString);
```


When people see the world's first commercial Virtual Boy arcade stick, they often ask, "Why?" The answer lies in the BX-250's unique and accessible layout -- it's perfect for those who demand more accurate controls, need more comfortable options than D-pads, or just want to experience classic games in a new way.
The dual sticks and rear triggers allow intuitive play in games like Teleroboxer and Red Alarm, while the top-mounted Select, Start, B, and A buttons suit more traditional control schemes. Duplicate L and R trigger buttons on the front face allow access with one's thumb while playing left-stick/B-A games.
9V AC adapter included (this powers the Virtual Boy through the controller).

Q: SQLite Query for two tables.(Union All,Order By, Limit) TableMain
Task_Id  Task       Time     Date         Repetition    Snooze_Time
1        Meeting    22:59    23-3-2020    2             7
2        Meeting 2  20:40    22-3-2020    1             5
3        Shopping   09:08    23-3-2020    3             3

TableRoutine
Task_Id  Task       Time     Repetition    Snooze_Time
1        GYM        13:28    2             7

My result Requirements:
1.Take data from table main where Date = "23-3-2020"
2.Date should be taken which is least comparing in both table.
3.Columns to have in result set:
"Task_Id  Task       Time     Repetition    Snooze_Time"
4.I need only one column (By use of Limit but don't know how?)(Suppose two tables have no time with same value)
Task_Id  Task       Time     Repetition    Snooze_Time
3        Shopping   09:08    3             3

EDIT: time column is store as text but has this format 07:05

A: Query :
Select Task_Id,Task,Time,Repetition,Snooze_Time from TableMain where Date = '23-3-2020' UNION ALL Select Task_Id,Task,Time,Repetition,Snooze_Time from TableRoutine order by Time Limit 1
