Macclesfield U11 rugby took two teams to this year's Cheshire Cup Festival held at Winnington Park RUFC, Northwich. On a gloriously sunny day, both teams brought back the silverware to Macclesfield.
The Lions lifted the prestigious Cup, and the Tigers came runners up in the Bowl competition. To cap it off a local lad Will Martindale, also walked away with the "Fair Play" award voted for by a team from Sale Sharks. To lift the Cheshire Cup two years in succession is a great result, and highlights the "strength in depth" in the MRUFC Mini and Junior section.

NLRB Decisions Restore Employers' Right to Use Work Rules to Control Workplace
By Terry Potter & Sonni Fort Nolan on June 9, 2020
Posted in Board Decisions, Labor & Employment, NLRB
During the last half of May 2020, the National Labor Relations Board (Board) issued four decisions upholding the legality of employer facially neutral work rules. Two of the decisions applied the Boeing standard to assess the legality of work rules or policies while the other two decisions restored past precedent to find that an employers' property rights outweighed employees' right to engage in protected activities under §7 of the National Labor Relations Act (Act). The key highlights of those decisions, including guidance on drafting work rules and policies that are lawful under the Boeing standard, are summarized below. …

NLRB Overrules Precedent and Limits Use of Perfectly Clear Exception in Successorship Law
By Terry Potter on April 8, 2019
On April 2, 2019, in a 3-1 decision split along party lines, the Trump administration's National Labor Relations Board (Board) appointees significantly narrowed the circumstances under which a successor employer will be construed as a perfectly clear successor and forced to forfeit its right to set initial employment terms. The decision, Ridgewood Health Care Center Inc., and Ridgewood Health Services, Inc., overrules precedent which had established that a successor employer which uses discriminatory hiring practices to target less than all of the bargaining unit's employees and deprives the union of majority status is a perfectly clear employer. The decision allows a successor employer to retain its right to unilaterally set the initial terms of employment despite its discriminatory actions that directly affect less than all of the predecessor employees.

Could a microchip help to diagnose cancer in minutes?
By Katherine Harmon on September 28, 2009
Current cancer screening often requires painful procedures and weeks of waiting to obtain results. But what if doctors could read a biological sample with a small hand-held device and come back with an answer in less than an hour?
A group of researchers has developed a device that can detect even low levels of certain biomarkers associated with cancer, according to a paper published yesterday in Nature Nanotechnology (Scientific American is part of the Nature Publishing Group).
"Today, it takes a room filled with computers to evaluate a clinically relevant sample of cancer biomarkers and the results aren't quickly available," Shana Kelley, a professor at the University of Toronto's schools of medicine and pharmacy and lead investigator on the project, said in a prepared statement. "Our team was able to measure biomolecules on an electronic chip the size of your fingertip."
By shrinking the equipment to a device the size of a BlackBerry, as the researchers propose, "we could do a lot more screening in the future," Kelley told Bloomberg News. Kelley and her team hope that the microchip technology, which uses electrodes and nucleic acid sensors engineered on a nanoscale to detect even diffuse traces of cancer, will be able to find not only the presence of cancer in patients but also its kind and severity.
Even though a rush of recent research has uncovered many new cancer biomarkers, in the lab, clinicians aren't often able to test for every known signal. As Kelley explained to Canada's National Post: "We don't look for as many molecular markers as we actually could when doing clinical diagnosis of things like cancer because it's too expensive to do the analysis."
The researchers have tested the technology on biopsy samples, but have yet to fine-tune it for clinical screening. They hope to have it ready for commercial use—at least in Canada—within the next five years. Tough-to-beat cancers, for which current screening is lacking, such as prostate cancer, will be the first targets, although, Kelley noted, it could also prove useful in diagnosing infectious diseases.

Arthur "Artur" John (1898 – 31 March 1972) was an English football manager who managed Vitória de Setúbal, Benfica and Sporting CP in Portugal.

He was an unusual manager because he acted as a massage therapist and massaged his players when they approached the bench for instructions. He was convinced that the player-manager role shouldn't exist, saying, "You either coach or play".

Career
Born in England, John career as manager started in Vitória de Setúbal, managing them for six seasons, winning two Campeonato de Lisboa, two newly created Campeonato de Setúbal and finish runners-up in the 1926-27 Campeonato de Portugal.

That success led him to bigger clubs, so in 1929, John became the first foreign manager of Benfica. In his two seasons he spent there, John led the club to their first national title, winning the Campeonato de Portugal against Barreirense on 1 June 1930, putting an end to a 10-year title drought  He successfully defend this conquest in the following year, beating Porto by three-nill on 28 June 1931.

John was then signed by Sporting CP, which offered him 16 contos to move. He didn't have as much success there, and was replaced in May 1933 by Rudolf Jeny. He was the last manager to directly move from Benfica to Sporting until Jorge Jesus did it 84 years later. He died in Lisbon on 31 March 1972, at age 74, and was buried in Cemetery of Ajuda.

How Much Could You Save By Shaving 5 to 22 points off Your Mortgage?
Shopping for a Lower Mortgage Rate might be a fun way to save money. Shaving 5 to 22 points off combined with better terms leaves you more to spend in your happy place.
Homes are expensive and you need to save money anyway you can. This is where you start, by searching and shopping for the lowest mortgages rates available.
Whether it's our job, auto insurance, current home, and our lot in life, there are those who believe staying put is okay. However, staying with your current provider could be costing your tens of thousands.
Save your money by checking out several mortgage rate quotes from as many brokers as possible. More people are shopping for mortgages and refinancing this year.
In fact, corporate profits rely on you staying put and not comparing mortgage rates or auto insurance rates.
The mortgage rate quote, auto insurance quote, refinancing rate etc. you currently receive is likely not all that competitive. It's a good time to refinance or shop around for an entirely new mortgage solution. Get the system working for you.
And sure, you're not always looking for rock bottom rates, but you likely are paying premium rates for low quality mortgage loans.
Make Finding lower mortgage rates a priority right now, and you'll save a lot of money. Consider how much savings translates to a 5, 10, or 20 year mortgage and it's tens of thousands of dollars.
With the money you save, you can buy a new electric vehicle, or take a vacation to Costa Rica or the Canadian Rockies. You can turn your mortgage rate search into a real adventure.
That money is yours. You worked hard for it. Count how many hours and days you will have to work for the next 30 years to buy a home in 2019. See what I mean? People are penny smart and dollar stupid. It's part of our culture.
Financially wise people on the other don't get duped when they shop for a mortgage or their auto insurance. It's your money, get full value for it. You can't earn as much as you can save, unless you're Donald Trump. Oh wait a minute, the President has filed for bankruptcy many times.
You'd better shop around. According to a report from Consumer Finance.gov, 77% of consumers apply to only one lender when seeking a mortgage.
All you need to do is search for a lower mortgage rate. The offers are plastered all over Facebook, Google, Bing, news websites and even a blog like this one. How easy can it get!
Is the Forecast for Higher Mortgage Rates?
Some are warning about inflation and fast rising interest rates are about to go out of control starting in 2018. Rather than jump at the first fixed rate mortgage offer, shop around.
This forecast shows mortgage rates might go down so you an bargain effectively with this outlook.
Mortgage rates are expected to rise, and mortgage shoppers are looking for the lowest rate 30 year mortgages. That's smart considering how low rates are currently. The sooner you find a good 30 year fixed rate mortgage the better.
This chart from FreddieMac shows 30 year fixed rate mortgage rates since 2013.
Mortgage Loan Options – Which the Best Mortgages?
While the lowest mortgage interest rate is one of the primary criteria home buyers take into account, there are other financial and real life issues you need to prepare for. Ensure you check out these popular and vital mortgage loan benefits.
Mortgage rates from Lending Tree. Lending Tree's mortage rate inquiry process is a bit nasty. I include it just to let you know that not all online mortgage lenders are high quality and they may not see inquirers as human beings.. They will ask endless irrelevant (to you) questions that don't relate to a simple mortgage rate request (just give us the rate) and some of them you may not like at all.
Should You Use a HELOC to Lower Your Debt Payments?
It might be tough to sell your home in its current condition so you'll need to research with the help of your real estate agent, which types of home improvements make the best sense. If you're considering selling your house, congratulations, it is a good time to sell. The market is high and it's still rising which means home buyers see value in purchasing your home. It should sell quick whether you're in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, Boston, Miami, Vancouver, Toronto or New York.
And after you do sell, you can think about the joy of travel or to buy cheap international properties. What a great time of life it is for you.

Nobody Unprepared - The History of No.78 Squadron RAF, by Vernon Holland
Published by Woodfield in 2002, 250 pages. Large A4 size softback (N4459)
From the rear side cover: This book tells the story of No.78 Squadron RAF, a bomber squadron which became operational in July 1940 and remained so until the end of the Second World War. The squadron originally flew twin-engined Whitley aircraft, later converting to the 4-engined Halifax. They belonged to 4 Group, RAF Bomber Command and were based at Dishforth, Middleton-St-George, Croft, Linton-on-Ouse and Breighton at various times.
No.78 Squadron flew the most sorties in 4 Group (6,337), suffered the highest percentage losses of any Halifax squadron (245 aircraft lost) and the third highest losses in Bomber Command as a whole. They are also believed to have dropped the greatest tonnage of bombs in 4 Group – approximately 17,000 tons.
Until D-Day, 6th June 1944, the aircraft of Bomber Command were the only means available to the Allies to mount attacks on the German Fatherland - a job they carried out with dogged determination and outstanding bravery, as night after night, the aircrews risked their lives over enemy-occupied Europe, supported by a small army of hard-working personnel on the ground, whose job it was to keep the aircraft flying.
The full story of the wartime operations of No.78 Squadron is recorded here for the first time in well-researched detail, accompanied by an appendix which includes full facts and figures and a roll of honour naming every 78 Squadron airman killed, wounded or taken prisoner.
The condition of the book is generally excellent. The covers are clean and bright, the spine is tight and intact, and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound - the book looks like it has never been read!

President Donald Trump's Tuesday morning attack on Google for delivering "rigged" search results met with a swift denial from the company, but Trump's threat to address the "suppressing" of conservative voices might not be so easily dismissed.
While Trump has few direct ways of going after Google, his administration and allies in Congress could find ways to make life difficult for the company.
Antitrust officials at the Justice Department or Federal Trade Commission, for example, could investigate whether the search giant is abusing its market dominance. Trump's Republican allies in Congress could subject the company to more unpleasant, high-profile hearings. And the president's public attacks could, over time, recast Google as a partisan player, a disturbing possibility for a company that depends on being the default search engine of choice for Americans of all political stripes.
In afternoon remarks in the Oval Office, Trump broadened his condemnation to include the country's biggest social media firms.
Such scenarios are still far from reality. But the president's grievances are another sign that the leading internet companies face growing bipartisan pressure in Washington over how they manage information on their platforms heading into the midterm elections.
Trump's latest criticism of Google appears be rooted in his dislike of mainstream media headlines. The company pulls its news search results from prominent media sources, which Trump has declared, for the most part, illegitimate.
Google quickly rejected any suggestion it's manipulating its results for ideological reasons.
"When users type queries into the Google Search bar, our goal is to make sure they receive the most relevant answers in a matter of seconds. Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don't bias our results toward any political ideology," a company spokesperson said in a statement.
Last month, in the wake of the European Union's $5 billion against Google over its Android mobile operating system, Trump called the search giant "one of our great companies." But on Tuesday, his administration was pushing a different message.
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Tuesday suggested, in response to a reporter question, that officials are considering some form of regulation for Google, though he provided no details.
"We'll let you know. We're taking a look at it," he replied as he walked into the White House.
The rising bipartisan anger against the tech industry has, remarkably, survived news cycle after news cycle in a Washington where attention spans can be measured in hours.
While prominent Republicans like House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Trump's 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale complain about the companies' alleged bias against conservatives, Democrats and liberals contend that Silicon Valley has allowed Russian-fueled disinformation to flourish, failed to crack down on far-right conspiracy sites like InfoWars, and violated user privacy with incidents like Facebook's Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
Those tensions will be on full display on Sept. 5, when Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, and a still-to-be-named Google executive are set to testify before a Senate committee investigating social media's role in foreign election interference. Dorsey will follow up with an appearance that same day before a House panel intent on investigating how Twitter handles conservative content.
Dorsey's day in Congress — fielding questions about Russian meddling on the one hand and Republican criticism over "censorship" on the other — is shaping up to be a microcosm of the political pressure that's been building on internet companies in the wake of the 2016 election, as politicians, for vastly different reasons, ramp up criticism of the industry.
Facebook, Twitter and Google have been scrambling in recent weeks to show they're taking proactive steps to identify social media manipulation by U.S. adversaries. Both Facebook and Google recently announced that they were removing accounts tied to Iran and Russia.
But the actions have done little to mollify Democratic critics. And Republicans have shown no signs of tempering their argument that tech companies are allowing their left-leaning orientation to infect how they present information to the world.
McCarthy spokesman Matt Sparks pointed to the recent example of Google scraping material from Wikipedia that described the California Republican Party as supporting "Nazism," a result discovered days before the state's early June primaries.
Sparks said Congress should conduct deeper oversight of tech, which has largely escaped the sort of congressional scrutiny faced by other, consumer-facing industries like automakers.
In a Washington where bipartisan consensus is almost completely absent, Democrats and Republicans increasingly share a disdain for Silicon Valley — which, if married together, could be a nightmare scenario for the tech industry.
Not only is Trump frequently critical of tech on Twitter, his political opposite, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), has taken to lobbing her own fierce takedowns of the industry. Warren recently tweeted that "Big Tech" is part of the lobbying game that plagues Washington.
Silicon Valley's internet giants have long positioned themselves as ardent defenders of the free flow of information, no matter how anarchic their platforms might be as a result. Lately, though, they've come to accept demands that they take a more active role in determining what appears on their sites.
Twitter's Dorsey, for example, recently tweeted that the company "likely over-rotated on one value" — that is, free expression — and is now seeking a better balance.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year is developed and produced by London's Natural History Museum. Judges from Britain's Natural History Museum narrowed the results down to a final 25.
I'm obviously just taking photos of the mice, you know, as you do.' And he's like 'Ah, sorry mate, I thought you'd had a heart attack, ' " Rowley says.
Now in its 55th year, it's the largest wildlife photography competition in the world. The interaction lasted for only a second as one of the mice ran away after winning the crumbs, the museum said.
There were four other runners-up and were placed in the "Highly Commended" category.
Entitled "Losing the Fight", the photograph provides a glimpse into the decades-long use of endangered orangutans in degrading performances, such as in Safari World in Bangkok, Thailand.
He said with so many people across the world living in urban areas, he's telling the story of how people relate to wildlife.
"This image reminds us that while we may wander past it every day, humans are inherently intertwined with the nature that is on our doorstep - I hope it inspires people to think about and value this relationship more". White arctic reindeer dot the frigid landscape of Svalbard, in the Norwegian archipelago.
Another notable entry, Matching Outfits, shows a stunning freeze frame of a female jaguar and her cub with a meal of anaconda suspended between them, a la Lady and the Tramp.
"Michel was in the Pantanal, Brazil photographing jaguars".
The winning image will be displayed in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the museum until it closes on May 31, 2020.
Also highlighted is Martin Buzora's The Surrogate Mother, which captures a tender moment between an orphaned black rhinoceros named Kitui and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy ranger Elias Mugambi. "The young rhinos are in the sanctuary as a result of poaching or because their mothers are blind and can not care for them safely in the wild".
The overall winners of the 2019 contest were announced late past year with the top prize awarded to native Tibetan photographer Yongqing Bao for an impeccably timed shot preciously balancing whimsy and terror, which captures a Tibetan fox coming face to face with a marmot on the rarely photographed Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China.

Content Strategy

Introduction/Biography

				A brief introduction of my history in the medical field and my interest in technology.  The strategy is to show my various passions and dedication to follow through with a wide variety of projects.

Skills

				Here, I would list both broad skills, like UX/UI and Databases, but also specific languages and programs.  The goal here would be to cater to visitors with different knowledge levels--both tech-savvy and someone who knows nothing of how the web works but just wants to hire a developer.  This could also help with SEO and serve as keywords.

Projects

				This would serve as a portfolio section.  It should have screenshots of projects I've worked on and some information on technology used (again, in both tech terms and in plain English).

Pricing

				I feel that people want to know right away how much my services will cost.  Although each project will have a different cost, depending on what the client wants, having a clear and open pricing guide is important to include.  It should be clear that this is only a guide and that they need to get a quote for their specific project.

Quote/Contact Me

				Listed contact info and also a quick web form to send me an email (and also log this info in a database) with basic information about their project so that I can get back to them with a quote.

Kirstie Allsopp returns for a brand new series of Kirstie's Homemade Home and this time she's spreading her crafty message by taking on dull and dowdy homes across the country. In this opening programme Kirstie meets Shaun and Gemma Ward from Wolverhampton who are desperate for some inspiration to transform their six-bedroom Victorian town house. The ideas covered in this episode include stained glass windows, a master class in curtain making, a trip to the blacksmith, and a visit with crochet expert Erica Knight.
Kirstie Allsopp is on a mission to transform a dilapidated country cottage in Devon into the ultimate "homemade" home, with everything either made in the UK, or made by her. She wants to prove that it's possible to get our hands on the good stuff, without having to import cheap and ubiquitous products from overseas.
Kirstie Allsopp is seeking to transform a dilapidated country cottage in Devon into the ultimate "homemade" home, with everything either made in the UK, or made by her own fair hands. This week she's renovating three bathrooms: a downstairs loo, a family shower-room with a seaside theme, and a luxury movie-star-style main bathroom suite. For inspiration she gets a rare peek into the beautiful home of top interior designer Anouska Hempel. She also attempts some traditional home crafts, making scented candles, stained glass and her own handmade wallpaper.

Agent Sasco takes his wife and kids on vacation in Negril, Jamaica. See the family photos.
Agent Sasco (formerly Assassin) is most definitely a family man.
The Dancehall artist and his wife, Nicole Mclaren-Campbell, took their three children to the west coast of Jamaica for a tropical getaway last weekend.
The celebrity couple and their kids stayed at Royalton Negril.
According to sources close to the Jamaican entertainer, Agent Sasco and his family traveled to Negril to celebrate the birthday of his younger daughter, Lauren Campbell, who turned 6 on Thursday (June 29).
Sasco and Nicole took to social media to share photos of their vacation over the course of three days.
In 2011, the Danchall deejay reportedly tied the knot with his long time girlfriend Nicole Mclaren, who is an author, educator, entrepreneur and professional speaker.
Sasco, whose real name is Jeffrey Campbell, is easily one of the best deejays to have emerged in the Dancehall industry in the last decade.

Monday evening, while working on my editing shift at the Columbia Missourian, I found myself helping Erin Schwartz, a fellow graduate student in the photojournalism program at the University of Missouri, who was putting together a multimedia picture story about Darwin Hindman's last day in office as mayor of Columbia, which is now online.
I am continuing to evaluate the Canon 35mm f/1.4L lens, provided to me by Canon Professional Services, and I am frequently reminded of just how versatile this focal length can be, especially given the minimum focusing distance of one foot.
I love these photos! Which one should be my new Facebook profile pic?


Whether you're overseeing the marketing efforts in a large B2B organization or running a startup, a style guide should be an integral component of your marketing strategy.
Want to learn how to assess and shape your brand along with other key foundational B2B marketing insights? Check out the B2B Marketing for Executives: A Deep Dive into the Big Rocks First white paper!
As discussed in a previous blog post, "The Importance of Brand Consistency", consistent branding allows marketers to differentiate their product, deliver key messaging, and encourage loyalty by driving authority and trust in their product or business. By keeping a tight rein on brand consistency, marketers can drive customer perception from the onset of the engagement all the way through the buyer decision making process.
Consistency across marketing channels and assets is also valuable to brand recognition in the long-run. Studies have shown that we perceive brands as personifications of companies, and that can affect our buying decisions. We are also more likely to buy from brands we know, because they're familiar and we're all creatures of habit sometimes. And through consistency in branding, that company has delivered and met the expectations of the customer (everyone wins!).
Visual style guides are used to define the way the brand will look and to keep corporate graphics consistent and uniform across materials. The rules for graphic style guides typically include applications and variations of the logo, design standards in terms of look and feel (minimalist versus abstract or modern versus vintage), corporate color palettes, and white space usage. This guide also includes typography details (font families, sizes, kerning, and line height/spacing), layout specifics in terms of how elements are positioned on a page, and information on website navigation and visual hierarchy.
A key benefit of any style guide for your organization is that it creates cohesion among marketers in your business. If you were to leave up the visual representation of your organization open to individual interpretation, chances are you would get a very mixed bag of results. A guide will create cohesion, direction and clarity for all marketing decisions in your organization. A visual style guide will help the creation and upkeep of your website, look and voice of your social media accounts and much more from blogs to ads.
Editorial style guides generally include specific rules around the company voice (active versus passive and first person versus second/third), tone (casual or formal), and grammar conventions (regional dialects, spelling, punctuation, words to avoid, and abbreviations). Many companies choose to follow a specific widely known style guide (such as Chicago Manual of Style or Associated Press Stylebook) whereas other organizations elect to build their own individual set of standards.
The company voice plays back into this notion that we, as consumers, personify brands as if they were real people. So, the tone that you're using across your content marketing, digital and online marketing and even email marketing are all demonstrations your brand personality.
Comprehensive style guides define the company image from a visual and editorial perspective to ensure a unified brand. We recommend implementing both a visual style guide and an editorial style guide to keep branding consistent across all corporate materials.
Consistency creates a cohesive experience that consumers can expect each time they interact with your organization. Over time, this will help build brand recognition and nurture future customers.
If you need help building a style guide or with your marketing strategy, contact Launch Marketing today! Be sure to follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook to keep up with the latest B2B marketing tips and trends.


1916 is a landmark documentary giving a comprehensive overview of the Easter Rising, looking at the enormous impact it had both here and around the world and the crucial role played by Irish America in the lead up to the rebellion.
This landmark documentary examines the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin and the subsequent events that led to the establishment of an independent Irish State and indirectly to the breakup of the British Empire.
It was a seminal event in Irish history and its ramifications were felt as far as India and other far flung parts of what was then the British Empire. With the centenary of the Rising, it is timely to take a fresh look both at the events themselves and their significance in world history.
Narrated by Liam Neeson, this series places the Irish Rising in its European and global contexts as anti-colonialism found its voice in the wake of the First World War. It explores the crucial role of the United States and of Irish America in both the lead up to and the aftermath of the events.
1916 will broaden public understanding of the historical interconnections between Britain, Ireland and the United States, connections that continued to have significance up to and including the recent Irish peace process.

"Jorge Ordóñez's proprietary project in D.O. Rueda, Bodegas Ordóñez, produces the finest Verdejo in Spain, voted as such by the Guía Peñin for the past two years running. Verdejo is one of Spain's most historic white grapes, as it has been in production since the Roman times, several thousand years ago.
After over fifteen years as the lead producer of quality Verdejo in Spain, Ordóñez chose Puras, Valladolid, as the best appellation within Rueda for growing Verdejo. This isolated corner of the D.O. is home to sandy soils intermixed with river stones that were deposited here tens of thousands of years ago when the Duero river was several hundred miles wide. Due to the sandy soils, this sub-appellation of Rueda, shaped like Italy's boot, resisted the phylloxera. Bodegas Ordóñez takes advantage of this unique terroir to produce wine from its ungrafted vineyards, the oldest of which was planted in 1885.
The winery's philosophy is to produce high quality, serious, age worthy wines from this historic grape. Rueda is Spain's fastest growing D.O., but unfortunately, most of this growth has been in the commercialized, bulk wine sector. Most of these wines are sterile filtered immediately after fermentation, stripping the wine of any character. We pioneer the opposite philosophy, by ageing all of our wines sur lie and barrel fermenting a large percentage in large format, mostly used French oak of the highest quality. Bodegas Ordóñez produces wine in Rueda from three dry farmed, head trained, ungrafted vineyards of Verdejo planted in 1886, 1942, and 1950. Read more about the commercialization of Rueda in the D.O.

I honestly don't know how my friend Karen Ocamb has the time to do all the work she does but she has been invaluable in keeping everyone posted on the latest developments regarding Proposition 8 at this crucial time. Karen also has the current In Los Angeles magazine cover story on San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Here are some excerpts and a link to the article at the end…
When San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom was a boy — palling around with rich Gordon Getty's son, Billy, struggling with dyslexia in school and using a partial baseball scholarship to get a political science degree from Santa Clara University — the idea of being the poster boy for marriage equality was as far-fetched as the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series.
But both those miracles happened in 2004. On Valentine's Day, on his 36th day in office as mayor, Newsom directed the city clerk to start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, in defiance of the state constitution that only recognized marriage between a man and a woman. After thousands of marriages and a series of court battles, he was vindicated when the California Supreme Court ruled this past May 15 that the "fundamental" right of marriage should not be denied to same-sex couples.
Now Newsom is on the frontlines in the battle over Prop. 8, the constitutional amendment on the Nov. 4 ballot that would overturn the high court's ruling.
For Newsom, Prop. 8 stands against everything he learned about equality from his father, a California appeals court judge.
"It's a family thing," Newsom said in an interview with IN Los Angeles magazine after he was honored by the Long Beach Lambda Democratic Club on Oct. 5, when asked the source of his passion about marriage equality.
"It's intuitive. It's at the dinner table. It's a grandmother that taught me to walk picket lines and never cross them. It was a father who said we can't go to that movie," Newsom said. "I was 8 years old, and I said, 'Why?' 'Because we'd cross a picket line.' And I'd go, 'But dad–this movie. I don't care about the pickets.' And he'd go, 'Trust me, son, you'll eventually understand. It's just the fundamental values of decency. Respect. Human dignity.'
"The best this country's had to offer has always been when we've stood on these principles and we fought against those who said we were moving too quickly or too fast," Newsom said. "I mean, Dr. [Martin Luther] King's critics were not whites–they were African-American preachers that thought he was pushing too hard and that there would be other, unintended consequences, and we couldn't get those other things done.
"That's exactly the arguments that are being used today: We can't get to those other things so we have to calculate and we have to allow a certain group of people to be diminished so that we can advance principles outside it," Newsom said. "You can't do that. It's wrong. There's right and wrong. It's wrong to calculate that something's more important than someone's fundamental equal rights. There's nothing more important than that."

Q: What is the best way to process large arrays without hitting memory requirements in C++? I've got two arrays of strings, both with 250k+ items. When I tried to hardcode these into my C++ program, it got stuck in the compilation phase. I currently have both strings as CSV .txt files e.g., {..."fksdfjsa", "fsdajhfisa","wgferwjhgo"...}.
Should I save these as arrays in a different C++ program and try to import them, or should I somehow stream them as I iterate through the values? If so, how would I do that? For what it's worth, I intend to compare each element of the first array to each element of the second.

A: Just read the data from your CSV files at runtime. Learn about the <fstream> standard library header.

A: Read data  using std::fstream and use std::vector instead creating array

A: I would certainly read the input from files.  Among other things: you can start debugging/testing on smaller input files.
If you google for C++ CSV readers you can probably save yourself the time of debugging your own.
Finally: the goal of this exercise isn't described, but "...compare each element..." done naively is going to take a long time.  If you are looking for matches: consider sorting the inputs first and running through the lists in parallel.  This will bring it back to linear time.

Q: Adding a transaction ID to ruby-on-rails logs We have a RoR app (rails version 3.2.15 right now). As it has been getting busier, the log-files it's producing are becoming less and less useful for troubleshooting. When they come in like this, it's not a problem:
Started GET "/accounts/28088166/kittens/22894/rendered_png?file_id=5d3eaec77954a489b5ddd75143091767&kitten_store_id=9970569bbacf7b6dbeb4eb9295960d69&size=large" for 172.16.202.30 at 2013-11-12 13:45:00 +0000
Processing by KittenController#rendered_png as HTML
  Parameters: {"file_id"=>"5d3eaec77954a489b5ddd75143091767", "kitten_store_id"=>"9970569bbacf7b6dbeb4eb9295960d69",  "size"=>"large", "kitten_cam_id"=>"280941", "id"=>"kjlak357aw479607t"}
  Rendered text template (0.0ms)
Sent data   (1.8ms)
Completed 200 OK in 1037.4ms (Views: 1.4ms | ActiveRecord: 98.4ms)
Short request, quickly assembled, all the relevant log-lines are in one block.
However, not all of our code renders in 1037ms. There are a few calls that can exceed several seconds, and during that time several of these quicker ones can come in (we are running multiple Passenger instances). When that happens, its very, very hard to identify which log-lines belong to which GET. It's not uncommon to get log-lines like this:
Sent data   (4.1ms)
Completed 200 OK in 947.1ms (Views: 230.9ms | ActiveRecord: 56.8ms)
Completed 200 OK in 767.4ms (Views: 3.2ms | ActiveRecord: 72.2ms)
Completed 200 OK in 2338.0ms (Views: 0.2ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

Ooookaaaay... which GET goes to what "Processing by" lines?
Is it possible to add something like a transaction-ID to these log-lines? The log-spam would be interspersed, but at least grep-magic would give me the unified entries that I need.

A: You can try using ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging - this is the method recommended in Rails' own guides - but the down side is that you will have to provide the unique ID yourself.
The lograge gem provides a much more compact, single-line log, and may be closer to what you're after.


This weeklong course prepares you for working as a professional guide and is crash course in canoeing and traditional camping. Our spot on the Aroostook River in Masardis is an outstanding place to learn the traditional arts of the canoe as practiced by Maine Guides for hundreds of years. Within seven miles of the field school we've got 5 different rivers of varying difficulty, as well as 18-mile long Squapan Lake. The canoe gods were smiling when they made it.
We'll spend the week working on two different but related curriculums. First, you'll learn and refine the skills of paddling, poling and lining canoes on increasingly challenging water. You'll explore this beautiful area and learn the personalities of it's waterways. The second curriculum focuses on the management and leadership of a group and the skills of keeping them comfortable. This isn't a theoretical course on leadership like what is commonly offered through outdoor clubs; instead it's a focused on the crucial skills that make or break a trip taught by professional, working guides. We'll cover navigation with a map and compass, what do do if someone in your party gets lost, how to plan, pack and prepare meals over an open fire, trip equipment and how to use, care for and maintain it, and how to light a fire under any conditions. Learn to stand in a canoe, pole up and down rapids, cook over an open fire, read the river to determine safe passages and gain the most useful asset a guide can have; experience.
Sunday: Arrive between 4 and 6 and set up camp. We'll meet, have dinner and discuss the week.
Monday: We'll start the week on the big water of Squapan Lake, learning the basics of poling and teaching such paddling strokes as the knifing J and pitch stroke for efficient forward motion.
Tuesday: We'll add the moving water component on the Aroostook River. You'll build on what you've already learned, then learn the way of the river and how it controls the boat. You'll learn to work with this elemental force, poling upstream and snubbing down. We'll also have a several mile float from the Masardis Trading Post back to the field school, stopping on the way to work on controlling the boat in Island Rips.
Wednesday: We'll add in the skills of maneuvering on a smaller stream as we float down the Blackwater River and St. Croix Stream (dependent on water level). The challenges here are narrow passages, beaver dams, strainers, and more. You'll be challenged, but you'll be ready for it as a result of what we've already accomplished.
Thursday: Thursday morning we'll cover trip preparation and planning. We'll go through the checklists we've developed, plan the meals, pack the gear, then head into the North Maine Woods where we'll set up camp along the Big Machias River (dependent on water level). We'll work on poling in the river and camp for the night.
Friday: We'll be up early and on the water for the long float back to town. It will take us most of the day to paddle and pole through the many rips and rapids of this lively waterway. Along the way you'll see the beautiful scenery of this seldom-paddled north woods gem. When we get back to town we'll spend a final night at camp and one last meal cooked over the campfire.
Note: In addition to the gear list, please be sure to bring a PFD (personal flotation device, also known as a life jacket) that fits you correctly. Optional but recommended, bring your own paddle.
There are vast differences in approach to the effective use of canoes. Some of these are regional, while others stem from the homogenization of techniques by national organizations. Our approach looks nothing like what you'll see from the big organizations. We maintain and teach the traditional methods of Maine Guide canoeing because they work as well now as they have for centuries.
Most books and "experts" will advise that you never stand up in a canoe and that you shouldn't try to solo in a boat larger than 15 feet long. That advice is rubbish.
We spend most of our time in solo 18 and 20 foot boats, in everything from huge lakes to class 3 whitewater. Much of this time is spent standing and poling and snubbing (poling downstream). While rarely seen these days, poling allows us the freedom to maneuver up and downstream through all types of water. Our paddling style emphasizes the short stroke that was common amongst natives and voyageurs, allowing them to cover vast distances while expending little effort. We also practice lining, where we use ropes to safely maneuver the canoe up or down stream through a section of water unsafe to run.
We run various classes of whitewater, depending on the skill and comfort level of participants. Unlike whitewater schools, our goal is in the safe passage of people and gear, not play boating in different sections of rapids. We emphasize the skills of reading the river, helping participants to learn to see where the channels and rocks lie. We reserve the right to decide which sections of whitewater will be run, and where we will instead portage or line.
Since beginning full-time operation in 1999, we've taught hundreds of people how to handle loaded freight canoes and how to paddle, pole and line. We've run day-long, week-long and month-long expeditions, as well as numerous skills clinics. We also make our own paddles, poles, and ropes used for lining.

The Dilemma--Part 1
A quality story
Great," Mary thought, staring through the darkness and the driving rain at the car parked in her spot. She'd arrived before sunrise to prepare for meeting Dennis Tisda, the new "owner" of the customer service and support process, whatever that meant. Things had been getting weird around TechDyno since the new CEO, Steve McDowell, had been hired. Mary learned that McDowell had come from General Systems, where he had been president of the consumer credit division, and GS was known as one of the best-managed companies around. Steve had turned its consumer credit from a disastrous division into a cash-generating giant. Mary knew that Stan Scott, TechDyno's founder and chairman of the board, expected Steve to take TechDyno to the next level by introducing his revolutionary approach to business. Steve's people were throwing a lot of new jargon around, like CTQs, VOC, and a dozen other acronyms. She hoped that Dennis would fill her in on some of the details. Sighing, she found the nearest unreserved spot and parked her car.
As Mary walked down the hall, she saw the light was on in the office reserved for visitors. She stopped when she recognized Dennis at the desk. He rose and reached for her hand. "Mary, great to meet you! I'll meet you in your office in an hour or so." So much for getting time to prepare.
Mary was the director of TechDyno's call center. Her staff, a thousand strong, answered questions from customers about everything from orders and billing to TechDyno's software. The software, called "HealthNet," managed everything from patient records, to prescriptions and drug interactions, to billing. It was the market leader, but several new competitors were making it increasingly difficult to maintain margins, and market share had been eroding for years.
Dennis appeared an hour later, a cup of coffee in hand for him and another for her. He got right to business. "The contact center is losing money," he said.
"We've been reducing costs steadily," she countered. "We'll be close to breaking even in a couple of years."
Dennis nodded. "I know. I've seen the plan. That's not good enough. The contact center needs to become a profit center. Bringing in a few million in the next year, at least. By then we'll know just how much upside to expect after that."
Mary's head swam. Who was this guy, anyway? He acted as if he were her boss. His demand was absurd. The call center had been in operation for years, and had never turned a profit. It wasn't expected to. She was proud that under her leadership she had reversed the flow of red-ink by deploying technologies such as web help, live chat, and e-mail response to customer inquiries. But to make a customer contact center a profit center would take more than technology. It would take… she didn't know what it would take.
"I support the business units," Mary said. "The BU leaders have us in their budgets, and we are meeting their targets. Are the targets changing?"
Dennis shook his head. "It's not about arbitrary budget targets any more. Things are changing for the BUs, too. Steve wants us to focus on customers, not functional departments and budgets. That's why he's created the process owner position."
Ah, Mary thought, I finally get to learn what your job is, Mr. Tisda.
Dennis produced a printout showing five chevrons.
"The business starts by identifying a customer's need and developing a way to meet the need," he said, pointing to the concept-to-design chevron. "Then we build a solution, identify prospects, and make the sale. Next we deliver the solution. Finally, we cultivate the relationship after the sale with ongoing service and support." Dennis tapped the service and support chevron. "I own this process," he announced. "And the call center is an important part of it. But we have other stakeholders, too--shareholders. We can't run the business at a loss just to serve customers. You have to make money in the call center, Mary."
"Do I report to you now, Mr. Tisda?" Mary asked directly.
Dennis nodded his head. "All functional departments that affect the process that I own must answer to me. I have input into your performance appraisal. I decide how to measure the results for the service and support process. For example, one very important metric is customer loyalty. The call center has a big effect on that, and I'll hold you accountable. An important shareholder metric is cost per contact, and you have to meet goals for that, too." Mary nodded. Just what she needed, another boss.
