I think dotPeek may not decompile this method because it does not support the feature Try-Catch-filter?
Is this true? Although it seems stupid, this is the reason I asked the question in my previous post.
I've forwarded this topic to the corresponding YouTrack issue: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/DOTP-5592.
The corresponding developer is now into this issue there, so feel free to add any comments in YouTrack issue there.


Canada flatly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's request Friday to allow Russia back into the G7 fold.
Before leaving for the Group of Seven Summit in Quebec this morning, Trump mused to reporters in Washington that it was time to re-admit Russia. Vladimir Putin was booted from the G8 by the other members due to Russian annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, and for backing separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Why are we having a meeting without Russia in the meeting? Trump said to reporters. They should let Russia come back because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.
Canada was swift to reject the idea.
Our position has not changed, said Adam Austen, a spokesman for Foreign Affairs.
It was Canadian then-prime minister Stephen Harper who led the cry to throw Russia out of the G8, which upon Russia's expulsion became the G7.
Canada would very, very strongly oppose Putin ever sitting around that table again, Harper said at the time in 2014. It would require consensus to bring Russia back and that consensus will just not happen.
Adding fuel to Trump's bonfire request was newly-installed Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who backed the U.S. president's suggestion.
But EU President Donald Tusk also rejected the idea.
Let's leave the G7 as it isit's a lucky number at least in our culture, he said.
Tusk is attending the two-day G7 Summit in Quebec, along with leaders from the seven-largest world economies.
Membership includes Canada, the U.S., UK, Italy, France, Japan and Germany.

Q: Why isn't the score showing up after segue on different view controller? Iv created a quiz app, that tracks the user's score till the user gets to the end. There is an if statement - when it reaches the end of the quiz, a results View controller pops up. My Question is I want to get the same score value presented at the end on the resultsViewContoller. I have connected it via segue and the identifier has been placed. The app runs but when i get to the end the segue opens up the page but the score doesnt change?
How can i solve this problem?
The user finishes the app. I call the segue method and the screen comes up.
Results View Controller
import UIKit

class ResultsViewController: UIViewController {

    var fruitness = Fruitness()

    @IBOutlet weak var finalScoreLabel: UILabel!

    var finalScore: String!

    override func prepare(for: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
        func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {

            finalScoreLabel.text = finalScore

            if finalScore != nil {
                finalScoreLabel.text = "FINALSCORE:\(String(describing: Int(finalScore!)))"

            }

        if userAnswer == fruitness.fruitOptions[fruitness.fruitNumber].fruit {
            fruitness.score += 1 //We increase the value of score when we get the answer right.

    }

        }
        // print(fruitness.fruitOptions[fruitness.fruitNumber]) //Only gets printed in the consol

        if fruitness.fruitNumber + 1 < fruitness.fruitOptions.count {
            fruitness.fruitNumber += 1
        } else {
            self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "goToResultsVC", sender: self) //To call Segue
        }
    }

    //Connecting and controlling oF the Segue and from GameView COntroller -> Results view controller.
    override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
        if segue.identifier == "goToResultsVC" {
            let destinationVC = segue.destination as! ResultsViewController
            destinationVC.finalScore = scoreLabel.text //Printing the final score at the end.
        }

    }

    @objc func updateUI() {

        //Controlls the background. Clearing ability between T/F answers.
        optionButton0.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        optionButton1.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        optionButton2.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        optionButton3.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        optionButton4.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        optionButton5.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        optionButton6.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        optionButton7.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        optionButton8.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear

        //The fruit name available that the user needs to match.
        fruitLabel.text = fruitness.getFruitText()

        //Displaying the progress of the user till they reach the end.
        progressBar.progress = fruitness.getProgress()

        //Displaying the score at all times
        scoreLabel.text = "SCORE: \(fruitness.score)"

    }

}

A: You have a number of problems with your code.
First off, the prepare(for:sender:) method gets called on the source view controller that triggers the segue, not the destination view controller.
Second, your ResultsViewController has a viewWillAppear(_:) method nested inside its prepare(for:sender:) method. Don't do that. The viewWillAppear(_:) method needs to be a top-level method of your view controller or it won't get called.
Also, viewWillAppear(_:) methods should call super.viewWillAppear(animated).
Your ResultsViewController's viewWillAppear method should look like this:
func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    finalScoreLabel.text = finalScore
}

The prepare(for:sender:) method in your GameViewController should set finalScore in your ResultsViewController so that when its viewWillAppear is called, finalScore has a value.
Edit:
(It looks like you got that last part correct. Your GameViewController's prepare(for:sender) does appear to set finalScore. Note, however, that you are using scoreLabel to hold your finalScoreValue. You should not save state in view objects. You should have a var in GameViewController that holds your score. You could make GameViewController set your score var, and have a didSet() method on the score var that installs the updated score value into the scoreLabel.)
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    if segue.identifier == "goToResultsVC" {
        let destinationVC = segue.destination as! ResultsViewController
        destinationVC.finalScore = scoreLabel.text //Printing the final score at the end.
    }

}

A: Maybe you wish to refactor your repetitive code to this one:
let optionButtonArray = [optionButton0,optionButton1 ...]
optionButtonArray.forEach { $0.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear }

The Cummins Engine Company was founded in 1919 by namesake Clessie Cummins. The Columbus, Indiana company focused on developing the engine invented 20 years earlier by Rudolf Diesel, but in spite of several well publicized endurance trials, it was not until 1933 that they introduced the successful Model H, used in small railroad switchers. In the post WWII U.S. road building boom Cummins, with their N Series engines, became the leader in heavy duty truck engines, from 1952 to 1959 they had more than half the market. In the 1960s the company opened an assembly plant in Shotts, Scotland. By 2014 they had operations in 197 countries and territories.
Cummins also services engines and related equipment, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission control and electrical power generation systems. Headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, United States, Cummins sells in approximately 190 countries and territories through a network of more than 600 company-owned and independent distributors and approximately 6,000 dealers. Cummins reported net income of $1.64 billion on sales of $17.3 billion in 2012.


ObjectContext's SavingChanges event lets you validate or change data before Entity Framework sends it to the database.
There was a time when computer programming was considered something that only "geeks" did. Anyone who spent all of his or her time in front of a computer clearly had no social life.
When is your PC not your PC?
Since growing up in Seattle I have always been a big proponent of Microsoft. One of the key characteristics of Microsoft's software that kept me loyal was that they always gave me enough rope to hang myself with.
As good and useful as a model generated using database-first design can be-it is highly dependent on the quality of the underlying database design.
Microsoft's .NET interpreted languages are some of the easiest to learn and some of the easiest to use to develop fully functional software applications.
One "change for change's sake" popped up this morning: I installed iOS 6 on my iPad and iPhone, and tried out the new Maps app.
Querying data is a useful benefit of using Entity Framework, but you'll often need to create, modify, and delete entity data as well.
Before Windows 8 apps came along, I spent a lot of time writing courseware for both VB and C#, and converting between the two was relatively easy--I got it down to a science.
This tool lets you interactively query databases using LINQ expressions you build in its own development environment.
Reading a textbook or attempting to complete a workbook on your own is not always as useful. This is especially true with learning new computer-related skills.
Microsoft has always had a knack of constantly branding, and then rebranding; shifting focus, and then rolling it back.
The Entity Data Model designer in Visual Studio displays a graphical view only of the conceptual model, which Entity Framework uses to provide entity data objects to an application.
Entity Framework's Entity Data Model is the key link between the entity data objects in your application and the backend data store where data resides.
Visual C# is similar to Visual Basic, but it has some special features not found in Visual Basic.
As mentioned in one of my previous blogs, there are four learning styles that we cover in our online courses.
ADO.NET has long provided a variety of generic data objects you can use to access data in a variety of data stores.

Q: What does :2 mean when running Docker registry? In every tutorial I've found regarding Docker registry there is a command like this:
docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --name registry registry:2

Tag 2 is used here. Why? I've tried registry without the tag and it also worked.
I think it has something to do with different API (?) of Docker registry but I am not sure.

A: You are right about the API. From github.com/docker/distribution:

Distribution
The Docker toolset to pack, ship, store, and deliver content.
This repository's main product is the Docker Registry 2.0 implementation for storing and distributing Docker images. It supersedes the docker/docker-registry project with a new API design, focused around security and performance.

and:

registry
An implementation of the Docker Registry HTTP API V2 for use with docker 1.6+.

Why both work?
When you docker pull registry you actually pull registry:latest and it has the same digest as registry:2. Demo:
$ docker pull registry
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/registry
169185f82c45: Already exists
046e2d030894: Pull complete
188836fddeeb: Pull complete
832744537747: Pull complete
7ceea07e80be: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:870474507964d8e7d8c3b53bcfa738e3356d2747a42adad26d0d81ef4479eb1b
Status: Downloaded newer image for registry:latest

$ docker pull registry:2
2: Pulling from library/registry
Digest: sha256:870474507964d8e7d8c3b53bcfa738e3356d2747a42adad26d0d81ef4479eb1b
Status: Downloaded newer image for registry:2

A: Yes, you are correct! the tag 2 represents Docker Registry v2 Implementation which is also Docker Registry HTTP API V2. which solves several problems that were in V1 and introduce new features as described in the following links:

*

*Docker Registry HTTP API V2

*More about Registry 2.0

By removing 2 then docker goes to a default tag called latest which currently points to the following tags 2.7.1, 2.7, 2.
So when Docker Inc. releases Registry V3, the latest tag will point to V3 and in case you need V2 in specific you have to add it to your command explicitly. You can check the available tags for the registry image

Summer 2020 put corporate purpose in the spotlight: did companies pass the test?
Rob Mindell
Managing Director , Strategic Communications
Corporate Governance & ActivismCorporate Reputation
Purpose is not a tick-box exercise and the summer has sorted the wheat from the chaff, argues Rob Mindell.
As business bounces back, who will go beyond their prepared mission statement to face up to the new challenges posed by corporate stakeholders?
Normality returns for many. Back to work after a summer like no other.
Kids back to school, the office reopening, the desk deep cleaned, an abundance of sanitiser, a face mask ready by the front door and, perhaps, a team gathering or business lunch on the horizon.
But how long will it last?
In these many months since lockdown restrictions began, communications professionals have played a central role in helping corporate leaders navigate the most tumultuous times many have ever experienced.
It has been a testing time for business – a test of resilience and a test of purpose.
In our industry, as constructors of corporate reputation, we've enjoyed the privilege of helping companies over many years define their identity and set out their corporate purpose.
The summer of 2020 was when those purpose statements were put to their test – balancing economic and commercial decisions with the welfare and wellbeing of the people who power a business.
As the BLM protests brought greater attention to the cause for diversity and inclusion, equally tough challenges faced corporate leaders in whether to stand up for what's right or shy away from the spotlight.
So why did some fail, despite the best of efforts?
How was it that those among the most developed thought leaders in business, with clearly defined purpose statements and value drivers, faced the most severe backlash?
When high-profile consumer brands including Nike and L'Oréal leaned into the public debate, why did they meet such criticism from their customers, employees and the general public?
The test of this time was not simply whether a mission statement was written and posted on the company website.
It wasn't a tick-box exercise of whether the statement from the chief executive, the internal memo and the social media posts scored well in message testing with focus groups.
The businesses whose reputations were protected and enhanced in this challenging era were those whose purpose was evident in their deeds, not just their words.
Over the months, as households faced stark choices about their health and their finances, consumers have called for more than empty virtues.
As a global health crisis caused a global economic crisis, governments have asked for businesses to share the burden.
With the wounds of the financial crisis barely healed, investors are demanding that companies play a positive role in their communities.
When society has seemed fractured, employees have demanded their leaders be activists for change – activists, not merely advocates, which requires a track record of putting purpose into action.
The return to work may be short-lived.
Just one positive COVID-19 test in the team, or a cluster outbreak in the town, and we could all be back to Zooming full-time from our living rooms.
But while we are together, collaborating as colleagues and creating impactful campaigns, take a moment to challenge corporate leaders on what action they can take to be the activists of tomorrow.

This course is designed to help nurses, social workers, teachers, counsellors and other health professionals develop their knowledge and increase the effectiveness of their work with families, couples and individuals.
It is built on the theoretical and practice frameworks established in the foundation year, and is both an intermediate year of training for systemic psychotherapy and end-stage training for the systemic practitioner.
This course is delivered in partnership with the Institute of Family Therapy in London.
Benefit from a critical approach to theory and practice in the light of inequalities and your clients' differences in relation to race, class and gender.
This course equips participants with a systemic approach to working with individuals, couples and families at intermediate level. About one third of our students finish at this level and add the skills to their professional practice, as a systemic practitioner. About two thirds of our students continue to the MSc in Systemic Psychotherapy.
The inclusion of a wide range of systemic approaches has been considered an important characteristic of our courses across the two courses and the four years of the training. It is part of the philosophy of the course to encourage a critical approach to theory and practice in the light of inequalities and differences of race, class and gender, and to encourage an anti-oppressive approach to working with clients. Developing self-reflexivity, the awareness and utilisation of the person of the practitioner in action, is also a core aspect of the course.
The course is designed for professionals who wish to increase their capacity to work directly with individuals, couples and families. This includes nurses, social workers, teachers, counsellors, other health professionals and those in front line services who wish to utilise a systemic approach with clients.
The course stresses the importance of understanding professional contexts and the way in which they relate to work with client families and couples. Particular emphasis is placed on thinking about ways of working which meet the needs of the most disadvantaged client groups and which take account of the legislative frameworks within which most practitioners will have to work. Attention to issues of difference and the promotion and development of anti-oppressive practice are central to the course philosophy and permeate all aspects of the teaching.
This course is designed to help professionals to develop and deepen systemic knowledge and skills in order to increase the effectiveness of direct work with families, couples and individuals. The course is both an intermediate year of training for systemic psychotherapy and end stage training as a systemic practitioner. It is built on the theoretical and practice frameworks established in the foundation year of training. It seeks to deepen students familiarity with and confidence in employing a number of approaches encompassed by systems theory.
Successful completion of the course entitles the graduate to the use of the title `Systemic Practitioner which is recognised by the Association for Family Therapy and is very attractive to employers in social care.
The course employs a range of assessment strategies, all of which include a theory and a practice element. For practical reasons the assignments are split between the theory and skill units. Although the assignments are allocated to separate units, they each contain a theory and an application of theory element. In addition you are expected to develop self-reflexivity and this is also included in each assessment. Each assignment gives you the opportunity to show your ability to express systemic theory and describe your systemic practice in writing to a post graduate academic standard. You are expected to demonstrate an understanding of the current theoretical and methodological systemic approaches in relation to your client group and show how you apply these in direct work with clients. You will also show self-reflexive abilities and give attention to anti-oppressive practices. These academically rigorous written assessments give you the opportunity to use your direct family work practice to show theory in action and to give examples of creative responses in unexpected and/or specialised situations. You will demonstrate initiative in decision making in action and the application of a wide range of advanced techniques and information sources.
The course is composed of graded and pass/fail elements of assessment. The pass/fail assessments do not contribute towards your overall mark, but must be completed to a pass standard. There are two pass/fail elements: your log of 60 hours of systemic practice, and your reflective journal which charts your journey through the course.
The different assignments provide a range of opportunities to demonstrate your learning on the course.
Your written assignments of systemic work with clients show the development of practice skills and knowledge in your work place. The strength of this strategy is that it applies equally well to organisational dilemmas as to case consultations and gives you the opportunity to extend systemic thinking beyond the frame of direct work. You will thus be able to demonstrate the ability to integrate contradictory information, identify gaps and create a coherent systemic formulation which will guide your practice.
You are expected to complete a practice log of 60 hours of systemic practice undertaken during the academic year of the course. This involves the application of your systemic learning to your direct work with client families in a professional capacity. The work would normally be undertaken in your workplace or, should sufficient face to face experience not be available in the workplace, in a placement which you will have negotiated. The log demonstrates the direct application of learning to the students professional context and can include consultation, supervision and meeting skills as well as taking the lead role in direct work with families.
You will also keep a reflective journal of your development through the course.
We want you to attend 100% of the course. However you must attend a minimum of 80% of the taught part of the course in order to pass.
Applicants must have successfully completed the foundation year in systemic practice at the University of Bedfordshire or its equivalent at another university. An RPEL route is available for students with substantial prior experiential learning.
International students are required to have English competence at IELTS level 6.0 or equivalent.
Applicants would usually have a relevant previous professional qualification such as psychology, social work, medicine, nursing or education. This is an AFT requirement for applicants progressing to years three and four, the systemic psychotherapy qualifying years. As this is a practice based course applicants must currently be working with families or couples in a professional context.
Students are encouraged to apply all of the learning to their work context which will enhance their career management skills. The course develops a range of practice skills which the student transfers directly into the work place; these include direct work and consultation skills.
Throughout the course you will be given ample opportunities to enhance your communication abilities. In the small groups you will regularly prepare and present ideas from recommended texts. This requires a short verbal account of main themes in the papers. You will be required to demonstrate your understanding through the development and setting of an exercise, using direct teaching, the setting forth of a discussion or other creative activity that shows your ability to make sense of systemic texts. You will also be expected to present case examples from your professional practice and show the application of systemic ideas to `live practice situations. These presentations provide you with an opportunity to show that you can discuss systemic ideas in ways that engage and stimulate others. The ability to communicate systemic ideas is central to the course and will give you confidence in talking about these ideas in your usual work setting. All students must do this and part of the final assessment is a small group presentation that formalises this learning.
You will also be given space in each of the plenary sessions to pose questions, make comment and critique ideas put forward in the sessions as well as offer formal feedback.
You are expected to understand ideas well enough to take them back into your workplace and describe and apply them in ways that are relevant to your usual client context. This is enhanced on the course through case consultations which focus on the organisational context and the affordances and constraints of that context. You will be expected to participate in experiential learning and role play exercises that require you to use your communication skills to take the positions of clients or therapists.
You will have formal written opportunities to communicate your developing systemic skills through the assignments, the log of your professional practice and the reflective learning journal.
You will encounter feedback from tutors and your peers that is respectful and appreciative. You will be expected to incorporate this style of feedback into your participation on the course and with other students.
On successful completion of the course you can use the title `Systemic Practitioner. This is a title recognised by the Association of Family Therapy and Systemic Practice and is highly regarded by employers in social care, education and the voluntary sector.


Grapevine Bike Center opened in June of 1990.
At the time I was a firefighter for the city of Grapevine. I started the bike center as there was a lack of good quality bicycles locally. While in high school at Grapevine I worked at a bike store in Lewisville, which is where I learned about quality bicycles. So today I service all my customers with quality bicycles and great service. Yes that is me on the Hi-wheeler and yes I broke my nose while riding. Also, a must ride is the Wichita Falls Hotter n Hell 100. The route includes riding through the Air Force base in Wichita Falls, everyone should experience this ride at least once.

Seldom, have I seen the bipolar cycle so well described. I'm reminded of my greatest lesson in what it means. It didn't come in school or out of the DSM, but in an ER when I worked Crisis. I saw a client of the clinic there twice about a year apart. The first time this woman, who was actually in her late 40s, was in bed, too weak to get up to use the bathroom and asking for a bed pan. She looked ancient, at least 20 years older than her real age, as if all muscle tone had gone, She could hardly speak. Her depression was not only emotional, but physical. The second time, she was manic, almost uncontainable, trying to visit all the other patients, chattering, and she looked much younger than her age, and dressed like a teenager on her way to a punk rock show. If I had not known who she was, i would not have recognized the second self as the same person as the first, and indeed, in a way, she wasn't.
Truly i would like to meet, such a person?
I totally agree with @bobcabkings. This masterpiece helps us see deep into the feelings that appear so complicated otherwise.

MIAMI (AFP) - The father of the gunman who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida was spotted at a speech Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton gave to supporters in the swing state.
Seddique Mateen was caught on camera seated in the audience behind Clinton during her campaign appearance Monday night (Aug 8) in Kissimmee, a town 37km south of Orlando.
Mateen's son, Omar, proclaimed his allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group during the June 12 massacre at the Pulse nightclub, which ended after three hours when police finally stormed the venue and shot him to death.
It was the deadliest mass killing on US soil since the Sept 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
Clinton, on a trip through the crucial swing state, opened her speech with a tribute to the 49 people who lost their lives in Orlando.
Mateen, an immigrant from Afghanistan, was approached by a reporter from the local WPTV television station and asked about his presence at the rally.
"Why should they be surprised? I love the United States, and I've been living here a long time," he said.
"Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions," he said.
The rally was open to the public and about 3,000 people attended.
"This individual wasn't invited as a guest, and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event," the Clinton campaign said in an e-mail sent to reporters.
On Tuesday, the Orange County medical examiner's office released the official autopsy reports for the victims of the Orlando shooting.
It counted 200 gunshot wounds among the dead alone. Another 53 people were wounded in the attack.


Pukkelpop Security Guards Allegedly Beat Down Gang Gang Dance's Drummer, Show Him "What Real Pain Is"
One of the world's largest and longest-running annual music festivals, Belgium's Pukkelpop Festival enjoyed its 24th year earlier this month. The line-up included amazing acts like Dinosaur Jr., Grizzly Bear, Fennesz, Black Lips and even 50 Cent. According to Gang Gang Dance, however, what the fest didn't have was decent security guards.
According to Gang Gang Dance's publicist [via Pitchfork], a handful of security guards attacked and physically assaulted Jesse Lee, drummer for the experimental dub group, when he was trying to access the backstage area on Saturday (August 22). The security guards allegedly threw Lee to the ground and tried to break his arms while hurling insults at the drummer and trying to show him "what real pain is."
On Saturday night at Pukkelpop as the festival was coming to a close Jesse was singled out and attacked by three security guards as he was attempting to walk to the artist backstage area to get the shuttle to the hotel. Security denied him access although he was clearly wearing an artists wristband and immediately dragged him to a darkened area that was not on the close circuit TV network and forced him face first into the ground, they then pulled his arms behind stamping on them trying to break both arms whilst repeatedly shouting at him, "We are going to show you what real pain is." They handcuffed him and continued the unprovoked beating. The three thugs then took Jesse to the police where they accused him of throwing a bottle at them. Jesse was drinking from a plastic cup, as you have to decant any drinks on entrance to the main arena. I was with him only moments before the attack so can confirm this. I went to the toilet which is why I was not with him at the time of attack unfortunately.
Jesse was happy to be taken to the police for his own safety and was driven to the station where he was told not to make a scene or a formal complaint. He spent 45 minutes with the police, who gave him a lift back to the hotel.
Jesse sustained injuries to the head, a large bump and bruising, and multiple bruising to the body. This made it painful and difficult to play the following days show. He was badly shaken up and it marred what was a wonderful performance and day for the band. Up until that point we were all saying how brilliant the festival was.
It's a shame the actions of three security guards have put Gang Gang and Pukkelpop through this.
Representatives from the Pukkelpop Festival have yet to comment on the matter. Gang Gang Dance currently have a string of West coast dates slated for early September, including a Canadian stop in Vancouver. As of right now, the shows are still happening.

Dry Counties of the United States
In a dry county, the sale of alcohol within its boundaries is prohibited.
A dry county is a US county with a government that prohibits any sale of all alcoholic beverages. Some governments forbid selling of alcohol off-premises, others forbid on-premises sale while others forbid both. There are many dry counties in the US, and most of them are in the South. There exist other smaller jurisdictions that forbid the sale of alcoholic beverages such as townships, cities, and towns which are known as dry townships, dry cities or dry towns. Currently, there are about 18 million people living in the dry area of the US, which is about 10% of the total area of the US. After the repeal of the prohibition in 1933, a huge proportion of the population persistently supported the prohibition. While some states chose to maintain their prohibition, others allowed local counties to decide is they wanted to continue with prohibition within their borders.
History of Dry Counties
Before and after the repeal of nationwide prohibition, some of the states in the US passed their own local laws that accorded municipalities and counties, through ordinance or either popular vote, the right to decide on their own whether to prohibit or allow the selling of alcoholic beverages. Most of the dry jurisdictions do not forbid alcohol consumption since there is a probability that it could result in loss of taxes and profits from the sale of alcoholic beverages to their residents in non-prohibited areas.
Reasons Behind Dry Counties
The idea of continued prohibition of alcohol is mostly because of religious attributes since many Christian denominations condemn the consumption of alcohol by their followers. Although state law does not acknowledge dry counties, there are laws designed to inhibit the sale and use of alcohol.
The Geography of Dry Counties
According to a survey done by the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association in 2004, 500 municipalities in the United States are dry including 83 in Alaska. Three of the 67 counties in Florida are dry and are all located in the northern region of the state. The north region of Florida has close cultural ties to the Deep South. In Mississippi 36 of the 82 counties are either dry or partially dry. Despite Moore County found in Tennessee is interestingly enough also the home of Jack Daniel's, a chief distillery of whiskey which is operational. In the United States, the states with the highest number of dry counties include Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas. Kansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee are the three states that are wholly dry by default.
The Advantages and Disadvantages of having dry counties
The main advantage of having a dry county aside from moral code is that crime rates are lower compared to wet counties. According to research 10% increase in drinking enterprises is associated with an increase in violent crime of between 3% and 5%. One of the main issues related to a dry county is that the county is a loss of tax revenue since alcohol consumers are prepared to drive for miles to procure alcohol. Most counties in the state of Texas have experienced loss of tax revenue promoting them to vote for going wet for their towns to thrive commercially. Despite the idea of a thriving economy being appealing religious institutions still strongly oppose. Another disadvantage to dry counties is that residents have to travel a long distance to purchase or consume alcohol which increases the risks of impaired driving. Dry counties are claimed to have higher rates of driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Supervisors start August with lengthy regular meeting
By Editor | August 7, 2019 | 0
The Greene County Supervisors held one of its busier meetings of the year on Monday with a full agenda and an assortment of issues and visitors to consider.
To follow are some of the highlights from that meeting.
BOS agrees to extend air ambulance contract
Supervisors on Monday agreed to new contract terms with Air Methods for air ambulance services in the county. The county has had a longstanding relationship with South Mississippi Air Ambulance District (SEMAAD – Rescue 7) and began this program in recent years to try to ensure that county residents did not incur large medical bills when an air ambulance outside the SEMAAD program is used. Last year the contract with Air Methods cost the county $33,805. The new contract will be on an actual cost basis. Air Methods Regional Business Development Manager Bryan Bates told supervisors that under the new contract proposal Air Methods would continue to bill private insurance for medical aircraft flights as it has in the past, but that Greene County would pay no more than $700 per incident. Based on historical data, Bates said his company expects the county would pay around $5,500 in the coming year and that the total expenditures would be capped at the previous contract amount of $33,805. Supervisors approved the proposed contract unanimously.
Gas plant requests review of tax bill
Supervisors received a request for reappraisal from Plains All American Gas concerning the property tax valuation for Southern Pines Energy Center. Officials with the company asked that supervisors re-assess PAA for the 2019 and 2018 tax years based on a 2005 memorandum of understanding between PAA and the county and issue refunds for what the company maintains were tax overpayments for the 2016 and 2017 tax years.
At issue is how 'base gas' within the caverns at Southern Pines is valued. Base gas, PAA officials say, is the minimal amount of gas required to remain in the caverns to maintain the caverns' integrity and desired pressure.
County officials said they believe the assessments are correct. However, supervisors took the request from PAA under advisement and voted to extend the tax assessment hearing until Aug. 19 at 9 a.m. when the board will reconvene.
PAA has been operating under 10-year tax abatement plans agreed to by supervisors when the facility was first constructed and again when it was expanded. The initial tax abatement plan, which limited what local taxes the company would pay during the 10-year life of the agreement, expired recently and county officials were counting on a big boost in tax revenues this year in large part because of that.
New Head Start center hits snag
Supervisors voted to transfer roughly $50,000 from the county's hospital revenue fund to the Dist. 2 road fund to cover costs incurred in the site prep for a new Head Start facility planned for State Line. Supervisors had previously agreed to partner with Friends of Children of Mississippi for the project and Dist. Two Supervisor Morris Hill had paid for site work completed in State Line through his road district funds.
However, a question of the legality of that move has arisen. Supervisors met in a lengthy executive session on Monday, which included FCM officials as well as a handful of community members from the State Line area, to discuss the legal questions. After coming out of the meeting, supervisors voted 5-0 to transfer the funds back to Dist. 2 and to continue to move forward with the planned building, but instructed board attorney Roun McNeal to research the legal questions and come back to the board with options.
Supervisors hope to have answers to the concerns soon so they can move ahead with soliciting bids for the metal building they plan to erect on the site in State Line. Supervisor Hill pushed McNeal to move swiftly as the county had already expended funds on the project and did not want to lose that money or derail or slow down the project.
Judge Beard starts retirement earlier than expected
In an unexpected move on Monday, supervisors accepted the immediate retirement of longtime Justice Court Judge L. Joe Beard.
Beard had announced his planned retirement earlier this year and is not seeking re-election. However, the original plan was for him to work through the remainder of the current term and step away from the bench in January when a newly-elected judge is sworn into office. However, due to a misunderstanding with the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), Beard advised board members he would have to nix that plan and enter retirement immediately.
Supervisors were understanding of the situation and approved the move unanimously. A new judge will need to be appointed to fill the remaining four months of the term, but board members did not indicate on Monday who they intended to appoint to the post or when that appointment would be made.
Three Democrats and one Republican were on Tuesday's ballots seeking the post.
Next meeting set
Supervisors will reconvene on Aug. 19 at 9 a.m. to complete the mandated public hearing for tax roll / property valuations. The agenda for that day is supposed to be limited to that issue.
The board is scheduled to meet again to pay claims and handle other items of interest at 9 a.m. Monday, Aug. 26.

R & M Service Experts is Proud to Support A Soldier's Journey Home
When R & M Service Experts General Manager Stephen Arvan was approached to provide a complimentary HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) equipment installation for a soldier who lost both his legs while serving in Afghanistan, there was only one answer: Absolutely.
At only 27 years old, Cody Evans was injured by an IED explosion while on patrol in Afghanistan. The explosion caused burns on his arms and hands, broken bones in his right hand, a pulmonary embolism, and a fractured tailbone. The incident also took both his legs. After nearly a year of inpatient and outpatient treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Cody came home to Tennessee and retired from the Marine Corps In January 2013.
Although he's been back in Tennessee for over three years, this month Cody is having a whole new homecoming. With the contribution of over 400 sub-contractors and 80 visiting volunteers, including FDNY firefighters who were first responders at the World Trade Center on 9/11, the organization A Soldier's Journey Home was able to construct Cody a disabled-accessible home.
According to the non-profit's site, A Soldier's Journey Home is the outcome and passion of a group of people who will never forget September 11, 2001, but most importantly, will always remember what we as a nation felt like on September 12, 2001.
That horrible day that will never be forgotten spurred a new age that resulted in many of our nation's men and women being sent overseas. A Soldier's Journey Home wants to give their support and make sure these men and women and their families know that their sacrifice does not go unnoticed.
"These guys have left to fight overseas for us and our freedom, so this is the least we can do to show how thankful we are for their service," said Stephen. Stephen was honored to be a part of such an incredible organization and has been working with A Soldier's Journey Home for the past several months. He is now the project coordinator for the non-profit.
"This was our first home build as our own non-profit group," said Stephen. A vast amount of the volunteers and the board members had been assisting other organizations that help to rebuild after tragedy, including helping after Hurricane Katrina. A Soldier's Journey home was set-up in 2015 to focus on our servicemen and servicewomen returning home.
Gordon's Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is honored to welcome home Lance Corporal Cody Evans and we thank all of our soldiers and their families who sacrifice so much for all of us here at home. We salute you.

Police: Driver Cited after Striking Student at School Bus Stop
An Evansville driver was cited after authorities say he hit a student waiting for a school bus.
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office reports deputies responded to Oak Hill Road around 7:55 a.m. Wednesday after a 911 caller reported that a juvenile had been struck by a passing motorist. The sheriff's office reports a deputy arrived on the scene in less than two minutes and attended to a 10 year old student who had minor injuries.
According to authorities, evidence at the scene and witness statements indicated that a sedan driven by 35 year old Micah D. Hotchkiss was traveling southbound on Oak Hill Road when he disregarded a school bus stop arm and flashing lights and hit the student, knocking her to the ground. Prior to being hit, police say the student had been walking across the southbound lane of Oak Hill Road toward the stopped school bus.
The 10 year old girl was transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment and evaluation.
Police cited Hotchkiss for Reckless Driving causing Bodily Injury, which is a Class A Misdemeanor.

Olympic wrestling champion says athletes shouldn't get vaccine first

Canada's Olympic wrestling champion Erica Wiebe has said frontline workers and vulnerable people should be prioritized over Olympic athletes for the new coronavirus vaccine.
Senior International Olympic Committee official Dick Pound said on Friday athletes should be given priority access to the COVID-19 vaccine so the Tokyo Games can go ahead as scheduled from July 23.
Over 15,000 athletes from almost every country in the world are expected to travel to Tokyo for the Olympics and the subsequent Paralympics.
"I think the Olympic movement stands in its purity for a lot more than just putting athletes on stage to entertain the world," Wiebe told the CBC.
"The most important people that need to get the vaccine are front-line workers, those most at risk and people in long-term care homes — they are the ones that need to be prioritized.
Canadian gymnast Kyle Shewfelt, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games in the men's floor exercise, echoed compatriot Wiebe's comments, saying the vaccine is "liquid gold."
"From a moral standpoint, it doesn't sit right (with me)," Shewfelt said. "They (athletes) are already healthy, they're in an age bracket that hasn't been shown to be super vulnerable to fatal outcomes from this disease.
"As much as I want the Olympics to move forward… there isn't a doubt in my mind where (vaccines) need to go. The Olympics can still move ahead safely, regardless of whether athletes get vaccinated or not."
During his visit to Tokyo in November, IOC President Thomas Bach said athletes would be encouraged to get the vaccine but that it would not be mandatory to participate in the games.
Concerns over whether the Olympics can be held in Tokyo have increased in the last few weeks as COVID-19 cases surge in Japan and around the world.

Going back can sometimes be the quickest way forward.
"What are you, Amish or something?" a large man with a booming voice asked from the back of the room. I was not surprised by the question, but the tone rattled me a bit.
Open your eyes! I wanted to reply. Am I wearing a bonnet? We arrived in a Prius, not on a pony.
The question came at the close of a long day, at the end of a long speaking tour. I was tired, but that's no excuse for my less-than-gracious thoughts. It was not the first time my family had been compared to the Amish, nor would it be the last. So why did this question stay with me, long after the workshop ended?
Over the previous few years my husband, Matthew, and I had gone around the country giving nearly a thousand talks, sermons, seminars, and retreats about the scriptural call to care for God's creation. We wrote books on the subject. We made films. From Washington State to Washington, D.C., we had fielded questions on everything from lightbulbs to the light of Jesus, from water bottles to living waters, from soil erosion to the four kinds of soils. The Q&A session was usually our favorite part of the seminar.
As a teacher, I often say that there are no bad questions. This one, as it turns out, was especially good because it forced me to examine my life in new ways. Now, a few years later, I feel nothing but gratitude for this man's question, for it started me on my Almost Amish journey.
The Amish are by no means a perfect people, and there are dark sides to their history. Their example, however, does have much to teach us. How can we incorporate the best of Amish principles into our modern lives? To answer this, I did some reading. And some visiting. And some listening. I in no way pretend to be an expert on the Amish, but the more I read and visited and listened, the more I found to admire. The Amish are islands of sanity in a whirlpool of change.
Along the way, I discovered some Amish principles that we can all try to emulate. These principles (similar to the list that Wendell Berry laid out more than two decades ago in Home Economics) provide guidelines for a simpler, slower, more sustainable life. They offer me hope.
Technology serves as a tool and does not rule as a master.
Saving more and spending less brings financial peace.
Knowing neighbors and supporting local businesses builds community.
1. Homes are simple, uncluttered, and clean; the outside reflects the inside.
Most modern American homes are burdened by the accumulation of mass-produced junk, bought on impulse and paid for with credit, which either falls apart or no one uses. Even heirlooms can become clutter if we are not wise in our stewardship of them. Cluttered homes lead to cluttered lives, and cluttered lives can harm families.
Our homes reflect our values. They reflect who we are inside and what we hold most precious. If our houses are cluttered, our hearts are too. Possessions should work for us; we should not work for them. Too easily, our homes and the stuff that fills them can become false idols, tempting us to break the first of the Ten Commandments. The Amish offer a less cluttered, more sustainable alternative.
2. Technology serves as a tool and does not rule as a master.
I can work anytime, anywhere.
I can check e-mail anytime.
People get back to me immediately.
I can access entertainment anytime.
I can stay informed all the time.
I can get in touch with almost anyone, anytime.
I can buy almost anything, anytime.
People expect me to get back to them immediately.
Almost anyone can get in touch with me anytime.
I know I'm not the only one feeling this love-hate relationship with technology: We love the convenience technology affords. We hate how technology is taking over our lives.
The Amish are different—famously so. They understand that technology is neither fully good nor fully bad, but a tool to be used; we should not become either slaves or gluttons on account of it. In the upside down world of Christ, setting boundaries with technology can be one of the most liberating things we can do.
3. Saving more and spending less brings financial peace.
Amish attitudes toward money are based on biblical principles. Saving is encouraged; frivolous spending and coveting are not. The Amish stay out of debt, give generously, and make investments in keeping with their values. Amish businesses thrive when others fail because the goal is to make a living, not make a killing.
Think about where the US economy would be today if we applied Almost Amish principles to personal, corporate, and governmental finances. We would not spend money we did not have. We would restrain our tendencies toward greed. We would plan for the future, sacrificing immediate gratification for the long-term good. We might not have the mercurial highs, but we also would avoid the devastating crashes that have left so many homeless and hopeless in recent years. We would take care of the poor among us. Those with more would help those with less.
4. Time spent in God's creation reveals the face of God.
When visiting a church, we often ask people in the audience to buddy up for a few minutes and discuss how God speaks to them. We've heard a wide range of answers: God speaks through Scripture, through events in our lives, through people we encounter, through dreams and visions, and in dozens of other ways. But one of the most frequent places where God speaks to us is in nature.
Scripture tells us to live in the world, not of the world. The Almost Amish extension might be to live less in the man-made world and more in the God-made world. Adjusting the ratio can be the difference between a paradise imperiled and paradise restored—an abandoned lot or a community garden.
5. Small and local leads to saner lives.
If the Amish made bumper stickers for their buggies, the bestseller might read, "Be not conformed to this world" (Romans 12:2, kjv). The world believes bigger is better, yet recent history has revealed the high cost of our mega-sized world. Big farms fail. Bank mergers collapse. Big schools become just another form of big business. In our anonymous communities, we don't know the neighbor down the street or the person sitting beside us at church. Now we are slowly relearning what the Amish have always known: that infinite growth is not only impossible but in many instances undesirable. Focusing on an infinite God, not infinite growth, frees us from so much striving and allows us to lead simpler, less burdened lives.
In a similar way, the teachings of Christ turn the world upside down. Those with the most possessions in this life may end up with the least in the next, and the little guy shall inherit the earth. The believing beggar Lazarus is in heaven, while the man who relied only on his riches is in the hot seat.
Each of us needs to be challenged by the example of Jesus made flesh and then needs to keep doing a little better every year. It's that simple, and that hard. Thinking big by supporting small. Loving globally by purchasing locally. Losing our lives in order to gain them.
Supporting small farms and businesses, interacting with our neighbors, and fellowshiping within a small faith community are daily reminders of how we can start bringing heaven here on earth—leading simpler, saner lives with people we know and love, in our local communities, this very day.
6. Service to others reduces loneliness and isolation.
The Amish understand that the key to a joyful life is simple: serve God and serve your neighbor. Interdependence can be more holy than independence. But how does that play out?
The Amish serve their children by doing the hard work of parenting, teaching them the skills and habits that will make them healthy spouses, colleagues, and neighbors. Instead of short-term distraction or coddling, they aim for long-term character and strength.
Through example, they show how caring for grandparents is a joy, not a burden. Likewise, service to neighbors and coworkers is treated more as an opportunity than an obligation. And service to one's own faith community is a chance to follow the example of Jesus, one act of compassion at a time.
In acting kind, we become kind. In serving others, we are served. Blessed are the merciful and the pure of heart. As the physical arms of God Almighty, we comfort those who mourn. In doing so, we serve him gladly, all the days of our lives.
7. The only true security comes from God.
We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. As the family of God, we must reach out to protect and care for others, even when it is inconvenient or costly. The most obvious opportunities for extending friendship, hospitality, and security are to those who live close by, and yet many of us spend far more hours in the portals of our virtual neighborhoods than on the porches of our neighbors. Less time in front of the computer screen means more time to spend on the town green.
The Amish build stability, routine, and tradition into their lives, all centered on God. We, too, can build a firm foundation based on an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving God. Family and friends, acting as the hands and feet of God, can provide comfort along the way. Yet it is God—first, last, and always—who is the Truth, the Light, and the Way.
8. Knowing neighbors and supporting local businesses build community.
The Amish have avoided many of our social ills because they build community into their lives. People know and care about one another. They support one another's businesses, worship together, take an active role in their children's education, welcome neighbors into their homes, and engage in group activities to break up the routine of work. Because of this emphasis on community, virtually no members are homeless, unemployed, or living on government subsidies. Almost no Amish people are incarcerated, and rarely do Amish couples divorce.
By submitting to a higher authority, they keep the focus on the Ultimate Authority. This submission to God makes getting seem less important and giving more rewarding. The happiness of the community contributes to the happiness of the individual, and vice versa.
Here's the good news: the power of community is not limited to those born Amish. It can start with you, in your neighborhood, beginning today.
9. Family ties are lifelong; they change but never cease.
Broken families have become the norm in modern society, but an anomaly in Amish communities. The main reason families do not break up is because their first allegiance is to God, not self. Children are not idols to be worshiped. Husbands and wives are not disposable. The (top) Ten Commandments are not optional. Harmony takes precedence over self-interest.
The Amish have a saying: "A happy marriage is a long conversation that always seems too short." And, of course, happy marriages tend to make for happy families. Do everything in your power to make gatherings with family part of a long conversation, full of joy, harmony, and faith in an all-powerful Father who loves every one of his children. Keeping your family on track might be the most important job you ever have.
10. Faith life and way of life are inseparable.
Incorporating Amish values into daily rituals and rites of passage reminds us how faith can permeate every area of our lives. We are God's children not just on Sundays, but every day of the week. Whether we are at work, at home, in the car, or on the soccer field, we are to act with compassion and love. What we do and say does matter, not only to our friends and family, but to our Father. God sees not only our actions but our motivations—our heart writ large, as clear as a neon billboard on Times Square.
As we give and receive forgiveness, our lives become more peaceful. As we slow down, we are able to hear God's voice. When we simplify, we have more to give to others. And when we set boundaries, our lives become more sustainable, calm, and joyful.
The Almost Amish life is a conscious life. Though the choices we make may vary, it is a journey that we can take together—and above all, with God.
Will there be false starts? Of course! The busyness of modern life has a way of thwarting even the best of intentions. Yet each time we seek out an Almost Amish path, we move one step nearer to the Kingdom of God. Every time we choose the Almost Amish way, we come one breath closer to a slower, simpler, more sustainable life.
At one time or another, many of us have been amazed when God puts exactly the right Scripture before us, at precisely the moment we need it. In my regular Bible reading, I have been studying the teachings of Jeremiah.
This wisdom bears repeating: Stop at the crossroads. Ask for the old, godly way. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.
My prayer is that wherever you are along the Almost Amish path, you have the will, passion, and energy to make one change—however small—this very day. My prayer is that you gain joy in drawing closer to God and lean on him for the strength needed to carry through. My prayer is that you find the peace that passes all understanding as you continue along the Almost Amish journey. May God bless you with his love and protection every step of the way!

AfroReggae: Antropofagia, sublimation, and intimate revolt in the favela
© 2014 AATSP Copyright. The documentary Favela Rising (2005) and its companion narrative, Culture is Our Weapon (2010), depict the AfroReggae cultural movement as a break with the past, a means of creating citizenship for Brazilian favelas. A leitmotif of the film is struggling to end the communities' "paralysis" caused by the domination of drug lords and corrupt, brutal police. Many residents and viewers feel that the favela lies outside the Brazilian nation. However, this essay shows that AfroReggae is part of a Brazilian artistic tradition that begins with Oswald de Andrade's "Manifesto antropófago" (1928). Andrade focuses on sublimation, translating emotions into art. But Andrade's ideas, while sometimes inspired by the favelas, did not reach most of their residents until later movements, such as Freire's pedagogy of the oppressed, Boal's theater of the oppressed, and Quilombhoje's Cadernos Negros. This history explains why AfroReggae stands out among today's literatura marginal, most of which is a continuation of the determinist Naturalist tradition. Andrade's essay and AfroReggae's performances predate and confirm Kelly Oliver's argument that the oppressed need a sublimation space to combat oppression. AfroReggae and the Brazilian tradition they represent have much to teach about how art can transform communities around world.

Q: How would you structure a model for this RavenDB document? I've got the following structure for a RavenDB document
{
    "RpcTechDataCollectionModel": {
        "Weekend": "March 16 - 17, 2013",
        "ServiceTitle": "Some Title",
        "Notes": "",
        "WeekendServices": [{
            "ServiceTime": "",
            "SiteName": "Bowridge",
            "SoundOperator": "Rob",
            "WorshipLeader": "Daryl",
            "Notes": "",
            "Songs": [{
                "SongName": "Foo",
                "MinSpl": "86",
                "MaxSpl": "92",
                "Note": ""
            }, {
                "SongName": "Bar",
                "MinSpl": "89",
                "MaxSpl": "96",
                "Note": ""
            }]
        }, {
            "ServiceTime": "",
            "SiteName": "Bearspaw",
            "SoundOperator": "Peter",
            "WorshipLeader": "Tim",
            "Notes": "",
            "Songs": [{
                "SongName": "Das",
                "MinSpl": "86",
                "MaxSpl": "91",
                "Note": ""
            }, {
                "SongName": "Bar",
                "MinSpl": "87",
                "MaxSpl": "99",
                "Note": ""
            }]
        }]
    }
}

Now I'm trying to build a model for this, but I'm wondering what the best way to structure it would be. Note, none of the sub-objects WeekendService or Song will be used outside of the  parent object RpcTechCollectionModel
option one would be
namespace MyProject.Models {
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    public class RpcTechDataCollectionModel{
        RpcTechDataCollectionModel(){
            this.WeekendServices = new List<WeekendService>();
        }
        public string Weekend { get; set; }
        public string ServiceTitle { get; set; }
        public string Notes { get; set; }
        public List<WeekendService> WeekendServices { get; set; }
        public class WeekendService{
            WeekendService(){
                this.SongRecords = new List<SongRecord>();
            }
            public DateTime ServiceTime { get; set; }
            public string SiteName { get; set; }
            public string SoundOperator { get; set; }
            public string WorshipLeader { get; set; }
            public string Notes { get; set; }
            public List<Song> Songs { get; set; }
            public class Song {
                public string SongName { get; set; }
                public double MinSpl { get; set; }
                public double MaxMax { get; set; }
                public string Note { get; set; }
            }
        }
    }
}

I prefer this as it is nice and clean, and easy to understand. The problem is that it technically violates the "One class per file" rule
option two
public class RpcTechDataCollectionModel{
    RpcTechDataCollectionModel(){
        this.WeekendServices = new List<WeekendService>();
    }
    public string Weekend { get; set; }
    public string ServiceTitle { get; set; }
    public string Notes { get; set; }
    public List<WeekendService> WeekendServices { get; set; }
}

public class WeekendService{
        WeekendService(){
            this.SongRecords = new List<SongRecord>();
        }
        public DateTime ServiceTime { get; set; }
        public string SiteName { get; set; }
        public string SoundOperator { get; set; }
        public string WorshipLeader { get; set; }
        public string Notes { get; set; }
        public List<Song> Songs { get; set; }

}

public class Song {
    public string SongName { get; set; }
    public double MinSpl { get; set; }
    public double MaxMax { get; set; }
    public string Note { get; set; }
}

This does not violate that rule, but seems like a bit of a pain.
What would be the pros/cons to doing it one way or the other, and is one way considered "right / prefered", or is it more "whatever floats your boat" in a situation like this?

A: Nested classes are usually used to hide implementation details, and thus prevent consumers from misusing them. As these classes just define data contracts, there seems to be nothing to hide. Even if you wanted to prevent anyone from modifying them (which makes sense for data contracts you keep ownership of), better make them sealed.
I would have them in different files and perhaps grouped in folder.
