Dunedin quarries sweep national industry awards
Media Release 17/07/2021
Dunedin's Blackhead Quarries has swept the annual national awards of the quarry industry. At a gala dinner in Wellington on Friday night, Blackhead Quarries and associated companies took five of the seven awards given to quarries competing from around the country.
These included the MIMICO Environment and Community Award, where judge Bernie Napp said Blackhead Quarries had won against three other impressive candidates through being the first quarry in the country to use an electric truck. The 30 tonne truck, imported from China, costs about $4 a day to run, carting 600 tonnes of aggregate at the Logan Point Quarry in Dunedin, as opposed to burning 80-90 litres of diesel.
The company's Walton Park Sand operation then won the Winstone Aggregates Safety Award. This recognises a quarry operation which has implemented a shift change in worker participation in health and safety. Walton Park Sand manager, Jason Blair, also won the R D Hassad award given for the most outstanding contribution by an Institute of Quarrying NZ member.
Abbey Loveridge from Southland's AB Lime, a company associated with Blackhead Quarries, took the Q+M magazine Tomorrow's Leader award.
To cap the night, Blackhead Quarry manager Gavin Hartley took the Caernarfon Award, which recognises internationally the best paper advancing the quarry industry in technical, environmental or strategic issues. Gavin's presentation was on his work setting up a quarry in Antarctica in 2019 to supply foundations for six new buildings at the American base at McMurdo Station. The award is competed for by national branches of the Institute of Quarrying around the world.
Blackhead Quarries General Manager Tony Hunter says he's very proud of the team working for the company started by his great great grandfather.
"We are being recognised for our innovation, our approach to looking after our workers, leadership and for our technical excellence. I can't think of a better legacy for our staff and our Otago community. We are being encouraged to foster the next generation and most of these awards recognise the work of our younger staff," said Tony Hunter.
Aggregate and Quarry Association CEO Wayne Scott said the awards gave some recognition to many years of contribution to the industry by Blackhead Quarries and by Tony Hunter as a long-serving AQA Board member, as had been his father Jim.
"Dunedin has always punched above its weight as a city in all things and it can now be assured that its local quarry company carries on that tradition."

Foreign workers in Iceland — living on the fringe of society
Dato: Mar 01, 2006 | Text: Áslaug Skúladóttir
One out of four men living in Eastern Iceland is a foreign citizen. The majority of the foreigners come from Poland, work in large-scale industry and live isolated from the Icelandic population.
"In general, there appears to be an underlying tendency to view foreign workers as an economic resource rather than as full members of Icelandic society who are entitled to the corresponding rights" says Gudrun D. Gudmundsdottir, director of the Icelandic Human Rights Centre.
In January 2006 the population of Iceland reached 300,000, doubling from 1953. Last year 340,000 foreigners visited the country. Anna Karlsdottir assistant professor in tourism studies at the University of Iceland, says that a large number of them are foreign workers or people related to them. "Many of those workers are working only temporarily in the country".
According to Statistics Iceland the number of foreigners with a legal residence in Iceland reached 4,6 % of the whole population, or 13.778 people, by the end of 2005. For the past decade this percentage has almost tripled, in 1996 it was 1,8 %. It may be noted that these statistics do not count all the workers who come to work in Iceland for a short term only.
The Directorate of Labour says that the majority of foreign workers are employed in large-scale industry, approximately 40 % of all work permits were granted to companies in that field. The majority work in eastern Iceland, in Karahnjukar and Reydarfjordur.
Out of a population of 14.000 in this part of the country, about 2000 are foreign men and a little over 400 are foreign women.
Although a significant number of the population in Eastern Iceland are foreign born, Einar Skulason, managing director of the Intercultural Centre, says their impact on society is limited.
The people are living and working in remote, isolated places, outside the Icelandic villages. They seldom leave the workplace, children go to school at the plant and the contact with the Icelandic population is minimal.
Icelanders polled in the area say they find the impact of foreign workers is less than they had anticipated.
"Foreigners come to Iceland to work", Einar says. "Most come from Poland, where unemployment is high. Many leave children and spouses behind and plan to return." Unemployment amongst foreigners is less than 2 %. They are prominent in many fields where command of Icelandic is not necessary In the food industry 15-20 % of the workers are foreigners, 10-I5 % in fish processing, and 10-I5 % in menial jobs such as cleaning. In general, foreigners work long hours and do not participate actively in Icelandic society.
Temporary work agencies (TWA) are a recent phenomenon in the Icelandic labour market. These are companies that hire out workers for a fee.
In the wake of several cases of abuse, a law on TWAs was passed in 2005, taking effect one month ago. From that day all operating TWAs had to be registered. Their exact number is unknown but to date 12 TWAs have registered, Halldor Gronvold, the assistant managing director of the Icelandic Confederation of Labour (ASI), says ASI has good reasons to believe that not all operating TWAs have registered and have thus broken the law.
Einar says that although generally things are working quite well, much remains to be done, "For instance, the rights of foreign workers vary from one pension fund to another. These need to be coordinated."
Gudrun D. Gudmundsdottir says that the rights of foreigners in the workplace and daily life need to be addressed in a comprehensive manner
"It is problematic that no single actor is responsible for informing workers of their rights and duties before or after their arrival in lceland. This is generally in the hands of the employer". A study carried out by the Multicultural Center showed that 62 % of the participants had signed an employment contract without understanding it, in whole or in part. "Furthermore, temporary work permits are issued to the employer; not the employee. This creates an unequal relationship where the worker is unreasonably dependent on the employer."


"Logiblas" tells the story of a missionary caught in a place where superstition is reality. He makes the mistake of thinking these pieces of folklore are simply nothing more than local color. In fact, he finds out the hard way that these tales relate real dangers when one, the Logiblas, tries to kill him. They are not folktales, but superstitions. Superstitions are faith with teeth.

Strange bedfellows in Egyptian chaos
An odd alliance between pro-democracy activists and Mubarak loyalists is raising eyebrows. Who is playing whom?
By Erin Cunningham

This article originally appeared on GlobalPost.
CAIRO, Egypt — Thirty-four-year-old Sara Ebeid had never before participated in an anti-government protest.
She was a supporter of Egypt's ousted dictator, Hosni Mubarak, and opposed the 2011 revolution.
But all that changed Tuesday night, when she joined tens of thousands of Egyptians outside the presidential palace to protest Mohamed Morsi's new, wide-ranging powers.
Ebeid, who works for Nokia, stayed for the demonstration Wednesday night too. That protest turned violent. Clashes erupted between those for and against Morsi, leaving at least six people dead and 650 injured.
It was Egypt's fiercest street battle since Morsi assumed office in June. On Thursday, Morsi sent in tanks to disperse the crowd.
"I never went down to Tahrir to protest with the revolutionaries because I've always been felool," Ebeid said, using an Arabic word that has evolved into a derogatory term meaning "remnants" or supporters of the Mubarak regime. "But right now we have the same goal. I want Morsi out."
Ebeid's transformation into a protester illustrates an odd twist in Egypt's tumultuous post uprising history. As opposition to Morsi grows fierce, an unlikely alliance is forming between pro-democracy revolutionaries and the counterrevolutionary bloc that rejected the 2011 uprising.
The latter group largely supported security crackdowns on Tahrir Square demonstrators at the time, and many voted for the pro-military candidate Ahmed Shafiq in last summer's elections.
This most recent wave of protests emerged from a confrontation between Morsi, a former Muslim Brotherhood leader, and the country's judiciary, which is sympathetic to Mubarak and the military. In June, The Supreme Constitutional Court voted to dissolve the parliament, which was dominated by Islamists after a democratic election.
Morsi later responded by decreeing greater powers for the presidency, allowing him to operate outside the control of the judiciary. The move was widely seen as step back toward dictatorship and protests erupted. A hastily written constitution that lacks the support of secular forces and Egypt's Coptic Christian church, only made matters worse.
The alliance between Mubarak supporters and liberal activists was made nearly official Wednesday when three titans of Egyptian politics joined forces in opposition to Morsi.
Amr Moussa, a former Mubarak official, and Hamdeen Sabbahi, a longtime Mubarak opponent — as well as the liberal Nobel Laureate Mohamed ElBaradei — will now form the most unlikely of political coalitions.
In another surprise, pro-democracy activists have thrown their support behind the judiciary, which despite a contingent of reform minded judges, is considered a corrupt Mubarak holdover in desperate need of reform.
The majority of Egypt's judges have halted their work in protest against the Morsi decree sidelining the judiciary. Some have announced they will boycott the judicial supervision of the constitutional referendum on Dec. 15, which is required by law.
Mervat Sameh, a 15-year-old accountant who protested outside the presidential palace Tuesday night, said it was time to put old divisions between the revolutionaries and Mubarak supporters aside.
"These people, they are standing with us now. And in this situation, when they are putting their lives and livelihoods at risk, we have to trust them," he said.
The uneasy cooperation is not without controversy.
Some activists warily accept the participation of those that balked at the goals of the anti-Mubarak uprising last year, if only to boost the numbers at anti-Morsi demonstrations. But for them, that's as far as the alliance goes.
"Felool supporters are Egyptians who just chose something sinister. We must win them over, but never align ourselves with their goals," Egyptian activist, Wael Eskandar, posted on Twitter on Nov. 28.
The presence of Mubarak supporters at this week's protests has added credibility to claims by the Muslim Brotherhood that regime loyalists and the military are conspiring to unseat the democratically elected Islamists.
Brotherhood leaders and spokespeople have been quick to paint the protests as the work of "armed thugs," supported and paid by the Mubarak faithful.
"The constitutional court overstepped their legally imposed bounds, and [Morsi] had to react," said Ibrahim Al Iraqi, a Brotherhood leader in the Egyptian province of Dahqhleya. "And now, anti-revolutionary forces and the remnants of the regime are inciting people to act against Egypt's interests."
The political demands of the new opposition — put forth by the coalition of ElBaradei, Moussa and Sabbahi — include Morsi rescinding his decree, calling off the constitutional referendum, and the creation of a new, more representative constituent assembly.
But pro-Mubarak protesters like Ebeid are clear that, no matter what, they want the Islamists far from the seats of power.
"I don't want to talk about the constitution. There can be no negotiations about this," she said. "I want Morsi out, I want the Brotherhood out. I don't want any religion close to or related to the state."

Multilevel shopping centre, two level frontage, internal finishes include transparent balustrades, reflective floors, furniture and cladding selections.
The Myer Centre Adelaide project is one of innovation and creativity. A small budget and outdated centre in the heart of the CBD demanded thinking 'outside the square'. Primarily, the concept was simple; de-clutter the internal space, improve the retail and multilevel legibility and give the centre a connection and presence to Rundle Mall over two levels. The project saw an unprecedented two level frontage approved by Adelaide City Council and a rebranding of the centre and its entries. Internally, new finishes, transparent balustrades and reflective floors with the further material, furniture and cladding selections chosen to create legibility and express the retail offer to its fullest.


At this point, Peeps are pretty synonymous with Easter—in fact, the chick- and bunny-shaped marshmallow treats came out with several new flavors this year to celebrate the holiday, including "Pancakes & Syrup," cotton candy, and orange sherbet dipped in crème-flavored fudge. But outside the candy basket sphere, there's a very creative way people are using them—a contest for science-themed dioramas, reports Vox.
Yes, you read that correctly. The "Peeple's Choice Awards" contest, sponsored by The Open Notebook (a science journalism non-profit), showcases Peeps in various dioramas—we're having major middle school science flashbacks—modeled on different scientific events and concepts, ranging from a mock "Nobel Peep Prize" ceremony to an anatomy lesson (complete with a Peeps cadaver) by "Rembrandt Van Peep." Each diorama is displayed on The Open Notebook's site, where people can vote for their favorites—50 dioramas total were submitted, in what's touted to be the first contest of its kind. If you're (understandably) wondering how this concept came about, it was created by Joanna Church, Helen Fields, and Kate Ramsayer—award-winning Peeps diorama makers (you might recognize this Hamilton one) who used to submit to the Washington Post's (now defunct) own Peeps diorama contest. Now, they have a contest of their own, with delightful results.
The entries are pretty diverse—one contestant recreated the Grand Canyon (sorry, Graham Canyon) with Peeps and graham crackers, and had a Peep modeled as explorer and geologist John Wesley ("Peepsly," for these purposes) Powell making his way through the canyon on a boat with some marshmallow bunny friends. Another focuses on "Dmitri Mendelpeep" dreaming about an early version of the periodic table, and it's pretty elaborate. The bunny Peep is outfitted in a robe and beard, there's a fully stocked bookshelf behind him and papers littered on his desk, and a dream cloud—complete with mysterious question mark Peeps floating around—hovers over his head. Make sure you check out the "Hidden Peeps" (aka Hidden Figures), "Peepola Tesla," and "Schrödinger's Peep," too—the latter got a lot of giggles.


World understands advertising agencies are centres of creativity. A hot-bed of creative ideas for ad campaigns and promotions. Y&R has now added another dimension – innovation.
They are incubating start-ups and fledgling businesses that can possibly be harnessed to offer agency clients more unique ways to promote and engage with their brands.
Start-ups are encouraged to take space within the agency itself so there can be interaction and stimulation for both sides. This scheme going under the title 'Spark Plug' was launched last September in the New York office of Y&R. JJ Schmuckler, Global Chief of Staff at Y&R in the USA, came over to Asia on 15th May to help "spark" it off here.
The Singapore office has already formed relationships with Gametize, DJ Nomsta, Squiryl and Riot! Record, all young companies with interests from music promotion to loyalty programmes to gaming/advertising mixing. These companies have not actually taken up residence at Y&R Scotts Road offices but their founders will soon become familiar visitors.
Singapore is the first Y&R office in Asia to implement this programme. Camellia Tan, Director of Network Development for Y&R Asia will oversee 'Spark Plug' expansion across Asia.
This move is another example of how agencies are adapting to the changes not only from their earlier business model but the unfolding of new relationships between brands and customers.

When your eyes crack open in the morning what is it you seek? What is the first thing on your mind?
If you are like me it's probably the last thing you thought about the night before. Sleep never seems to wash away what we are passionate about. It's always there the next day, front and center in our mind.
However, the answer to the question will reveal your priorities.
So many things vie for priority #1 in our lives that sometimes it's a struggle to keep them in perspective. What seems important one day fades into the rearview mirror the next. New challenges, opportunities and attractions replace the old, and so on and on goes the cycle.
In the Bible, Jesus addressed our focus on priorities one day in a discussion about worry. Evidently some around him were fretting over what they might eat and drink and over what clothes they might wear. Not fretting like how you or I might have trouble deciding between steak and chicken for dinner or what to wear on any given Sunday to church. Theirs was a literal concern over not having any food or clothing as basic necessities of life, a dire circumstance to be in for sure.
As only Jesus could, he brought clarity to what they should seek first each day. As we'll see the benefits received from putting his suggestion priority #1 actually spoke to their most pressing daily needs.
The tough part is when we get the sense we are falling behind the times. It's as though we are hamsters in a wheel – continually running but never catching up.
This rapid change and our pursuit to keep up is nowhere more evident than with technology. And while it has helped create a great standard of living for us I'm afraid it's revealing one big flaw we've yet to conquer.
"I can do it myself." It's a familiar refrain I often recite in my head. Even though it may seem obvious to everyone around me that I need help, I choose not to seek it. For some reason, my human nature resists reaching out and asking for assistance.
Why is that? What keeps me from admitting I need help? Why can't I see the circumstances for what they are and then choose to rely on others to help me power through them?
Logically I should always ask for help when I need it. It would make my life run with greater efficiency and reduce much of the stress I place on myself. However, I've come to know this…I'm often an illogical person. I can rationalize away the greatest problem and convince myself I can handle it.
Sadly that's a recipe for a stagnant life.
From my life, I can quickly identify six reasons why I've refused to ask for help. What could you add to this list?
In what year are your thoughts?
I'm a personal finance blogger. It's my business to help others plan for and navigate through the future. Yet I find myself often neglecting one of the simplest messages Jesus ever gave his disciples.
So in the middle of the "Our Fathers" and the "Deliver us from evils," Jesus asks his disciples to voice this line each time they communicate with their heavenly Father – "Give us this day our daily bread." It's a powerful request, and it is just as relevant today as it was 2,000+ years ago.
Should I Borrow Money to Get What I Want?
We want our fast food within 5 minutes or less in the drive-thru. We want to make quick money for as little work as possible. We drive fast cars so we can get to our destination sooner. We are first in line for the newest technology gadget the day it is released. Can't wait…gotta have it.
We no longer want the new bass boat – it is a need.
We no longer want the week-long cruise to Bermuda – it is a need.
We no longer want the $5,000 Hall of Fame rookie card – it is a need.
We no longer want…(fill in yours here)…it is a need.
Put these two things together – getting what we want quickly and "wants vs. needs" – and a real problem begins to arise for most everyone in society. We don't have the money to pay for these items!

Oxford Circle Flavor Festival to kick off with concert
The Oxford Circle Flavor Festival aims to celebrate area's culture through music, art and, most especially, food.
By Jack Tomczuk
Oxford Circle's version of restaurant week will kick off Saturday with a free performance by a Ukrainian singer and an art exhibition made by local refugees.
This is the second edition of the Oxford Circle Flavor Festival, but this year's event is taking on a different format. Instead of specials at different shops and various events throughout the neighborhood, there will be a concert and several restaurants will be offering special discounted menus.
"This year, we kind of narrowed the focus a little bit," said Andrea Hodge, economic development coordinator at the Oxford Circle Christian Community Development Association, which organizes the festival.
"It's called a flavor festival because we have so many great restaurants in the area, but, really, the overall goal is to celebrate the culture in the neighborhood," she added. "We just happen to have an incredible food culture in the neighborhood."
The kickoff event, dubbed the Exhibition of the Arts, will be held Saturday at 6 p.m. at Oxford Circle Mennonite Church, 900 Howell St.
Singer Lena Shtefan will be performing. After studying opera in Ukraine, she fell in love with Whitney Houston, according to Mikhail Zorich, project coordinator for the Multicultural Arts Exchange.
"(Houston) became her idol, and she decided to learn how to sing pop," he said.
Zorich said Shtefan was on her way to becoming a star in Ukraine when unrest in that country forced her to flee. She settled in Northeast Philadelphia a few years ago.
MAE, which is based at Congregations of Shaare Shamayim synagogue in Bustleton, is partnering with OCCCDA on the concert. The nonprofit promotes artists and organizes performances in the Northeast.
Zorich said MAE has built relationships in Somerton, Bustleton, Mayfair and some other neighborhoods, and is excited to be venturing into Oxford Circle.
"Our goal is to make Northeast Philadelphia a cultural destination," he said.
In addition, OCCCDA is working with Mural Arts Philadelphia and Swarthmore College's Friends, Peace and Sanctuary Program to exhibit artwork at Saturday's event from a group of refugee women who live in the Northeast.
Free tickets for the Exhibition of the Arts can be reserved at www.oxfordcirclefest.blogspot.com. Light refreshments and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
As for the restaurant week portion of Flavor Festival, at least six restaurants in the area will be offering special $15 three-course menus from Friday, Sept. 13, to Monday, Sept. 23.
The participating restaurants include Al-Sham Restaurant, 6738 Bustleton Ave.; Bisho's Middle Eastern Cuisine, 2329 Cottman Ave.; New Asaad Indian Cuisine, 6443 Castor Ave.; Nick's Roast Beef, 2210 Cottman Ave.; On Charcoal Colombian Restaurant, 6516 Castor Ave.; and Pho Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant, 6842 Bustleton Ave.

Q: HTML Beautify Settings in Brackets I understand that the Brackets Beautify extension is based on JS Beautify, and that I have a suite of preference settings available because of that, but I have no idea of how to alter them through the Brackets settings.json file. Does anyone have any idea?
Here are my current settings:
   {
        "debug.showErrorsInStatusBar": false,
        "linting.collapsed": true,
        "wordWrap": false,
        "me.drewh.jsbeautify.on_save": false,
        "styleActiveLine": true,
        "themes.theme": "explicit-brackets-style",
        "fonts.fontSize": "12px"
    }

I'm assuming I just need to add new "me.drewh.jsbeautify" lines, but that doesn't seem to work...
I'm specifically looking at HTML settings, BTW.

A: Like the original library the extension uses a .jsbeautifyrc file for the settings.
It should work if you create such a file in your project root with content like this:
{
    "eol": "\n",
    "end_with_newline": true,
    "preserve_newlines": true,
    "max_preserve_newlines": 10,
    "indent_inner_html": false,
    "brace_style": "collapse",
    "indent_scripts": "normal",
    "wrap_line_length": 0,
    "wrap_attributes": "auto"
}

Additionally, I can only recommend you to have a look at my fork of that extension as it allows more detailed settings.

Q: SPF Too Many DNS Lookups issue In our scenario, We're running into an issue with our SPF records in route53. We are receiving SPF Too Many DNS Lookups because we are using multiple mail services. Is there a way to resolve this? I saw one thread stating to run a look up on the domains and include them by IP but that doesn't seem too stable of a solution. Another said to us PTR but that seems like the same path. Is there a better way you know of that we could achieve this?
"Error! 15 DNS lookups required to evaluate the SPF record. The maximum is 10."

v=spf1 ip4:52.209.21.221 include:spf1.abc.com include:spf2.abc.com ~all

We have 7 mailing platforms which is causing too many DNS lookups.
spf1.abc.com    -

"v=spf1 include:_spf.salesforce.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mail.zendesk.com ~all"

spf2.abc.com    -

"v=spf1 include:amazonses.com include:sendgrid.net include:abc-com.spf.smtp25.com include:_spf.google.com ~all"

Is this modification will help
"v=spf1 ip4:52.209.21.221 include:spf1.abc.com -all"

Do we need to go with SPF flattening technique, how can we achieve that can anyone advise me on this?

A: As you're aware there's a hard maximum of 10 lookups.  A lookup is counted each time you see the word include; so say your DNS TXT records were like this:

DNS Record
Value

example.com
v=spf1 ip4:123.123.123.123 include:spf1.example.com include:spf2.example.com -all

spf1.example.com
v=spf1 include:mail.thidparty.com -all

spf2.example.com
v=spf1 include:mail.thidparty2.com include:mail.thidparty3.com -all

mail.thidparty.com
v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4/23 ip4:2.3.4.5/23 ~all

mail.thidparty2.com
v=spf1 ip4:2.2.3.4/23 ip4:3.3.4.5/23 ~all

mail.thidparty3.com
v=spf1 ip4:3.2.3.4/23 ip4:4.3.4.5/23 ~all

In addition to your root domain you have 5 other DNS records referenced in your includes, so your SPF lookup count is 5 (the root isn't included in the count); so you could have up to 5 more.
You can get a good view of your SPF records (recursive) via this tool:
https://www.dmarcanalyzer.com/spf/checker/ (many others are also available).
Note: This count is the total recursive count; not just the number of lookups on any one record, or down any single branch; but across the entire tree/graph.
Flattening
There are some obvious things we can do to reduce the number of lookups; e.g. spf1.exmple.com and spf2.example.com aren't really adding any value; so we can just drop those records and update example.com to refer directly to the thirdparty SPF records; thus removing 2 from our count.

DNS Record
Value

example.com
v=spf1 ip4:123.123.123.123 include:mail.thidparty.com include:mail.thidparty2.com include:mail.thidparty3.com -all

mail.thidparty.com
v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4/23 ip4:2.3.4.5/23 ~all

mail.thidparty2.com
v=spf1 ip4:2.2.3.4/23 ip4:3.3.4.5/23 ~all

mail.thidparty3.com
v=spf1 ip4:3.2.3.4/23 ip4:4.3.4.5/23 ~all

One thing to be careful of when doing this: consider why those were created in the first place, given they're just increasing complexity... Maybe they're referred to by other domains.  E.g. My company owns many domains, some of which will all share the same service (e.g. we use Office/Exchange 365 for mail and ZenDesk for support; both configured to send emails from the countries' specific domains).  Because we have this sharing, we have an SPF record in our primary domain which has the includes for those services which are shared by all these domains, so we can manage them all in one place / update all referencing domains via a single record.
To flatten things further you can fetch the third party's records and put their values into your records instead of having an include to dynamically reference it.  The issue here is that if the third party changes the value of this record, your implementation will break as you'll have the wrong values.  You can mitigate that by either having scripts monitor the original record (and automatically correct your records with updates, or alert you of the issue when this is detected), or some companies implement their own management layer over DNS meaning you can define your lookups, and they'll flatten the DNS records for you.  I've no experience with those so won't link to anyone; but a simple search for DNS Management Service SPF Flattening should give you a few options.
Note: DNS TXT values also have a max length of 255 characters in a string.  However, you can have multiple strings per record; so just create additional values (essentially you can have an array of <=255 character strings across which you can hold your value).
Alternative Options
Remove Services
Often multiple SPF records are needed because different teams within a company have purchased different solutions which fulfil the same requirement (e.g. SMTPaaS solutions).  If you can consolidate providers you'll be able to remove some of these.  That said, this often required buy in from more seniour management, who often don't appreciate the implications of this scenario.
Subdomain per Service
Though your example.com domain can only have 10 lookups against it, you can have an entirely separate 10 lookups for support.example.com or sales.example.com, so you could partitionl your lookups by function (or even service; e.g. zendesk.example.com to have:

DNS Record
Value
Notes

example.com
v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
Users' mailboxes

support.example.com
v=spf1 include:mail.zendesk.com ~all
Support tickets

sales.example.com
v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.salesforce.com ~all
Sales system notifications

Then work with addresses specific to those subdomains (e.g. help@support.example.com for your service desk).  If those addresses need to be associated with a real mailbox you'd need to include your outlook.com value on the relevant subdomain too (as shown in the Sales example above), but it should be rare for you to need ALL lookups for any domain (e.g. SalesForce AND ZenDesk AND Outlook).
Note that you can also use email aliases to give the same mailbox multiple addresses, so even if you do have a mailbox that needs to be associated with multiple systems, maybe you can have different sender addresses for that mailbox, but still have replies to any of those addresses resolve to the same target mailbox.
Documentation
Not so much a solution to a current problem, but useful to help with future issues.  Every time you add a service to your SPF record, record why those entries were added.  Often people in the business request these without understanding the implications, then forget about them once all's working.  Very often they'll be setup for a temporary requirement but no one will think to inform you when that requirement ceases to exist.  By documenting things you can review your records periodically & find the people to contact to check whether the requirement still exists (or at least have some idea of where to look to see if ServiceX still has any relevancy), helping you to remove outdated services or know who to contact if you need to move a service off to its own sub domain / etc.

Violinist Igor Oistrakh has died at the age of 90. He was born in 1931 in Odessa, Ukraine, the son of Tamara Rotareva and acclaimed violinist David Oistrakh.
After initial musical studies with his father, Oistrakh studied at the Central Music School in Moscow, followed by tuition at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory. He won the Budapest International Violin Competition in 1949, as well as the Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition in Poland in 1952.
As well as an international solo career, Oistrakh was a dedicated teacher, joining the faculty of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory in 1958. Since 1996, he was a violin professor at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels. He retained a wealth of awards and appointments throughout his career, including Fellow of the Royal College of Music, London, Presidency of the Russian section of the European String Teachers Association, honorary member of the Beethoven Society in Bonn and the Jascha Heifetz Society, as well as having the unique honour of having an asteroid named after him and his father - the 42516 Oistrach.
With his pianist wife Natalia Zertsalova, he recorded many staples of violin repertoire, including the complete Mozart and Beethoven violin sonatas, as well as works by Bach, Paganini and Prokofiev. Their son Valery continues the family line of violin playing and is also a violin professor at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels.

"For us, it's very important to use film as an educational medium…"
The fourth installment of the Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival is now back in session, and it will screen films in 11 cities all over the Quisqueya.
The film festival first opened its doors in 2011, with a total of 2,000 moviegoers. Last year, that number more than doubled with a population of 10,000, confirmed festival director Natasha Despotovic, according to Fox News Latino. "For us, it's very important to use film as an educational medium to raise awareness and promote better public policies, and greater social action and behavior by the private sector. The change can be seen at many levels," said Despotovic.
In addition to all the films being screened, one titled The True Coast explores the textile industry's effect on the environment. Films from all over the world will be presented, including from The United States, Argentina, Mexico, Iran, Japan, South Korea, France and The Czech Republic, among others.
The Green Film Network (GFN) is responsible for bringing together 30 environmental film festivals from all over the globe; there will be a prize awarded by the organization at the festival this year. The festival's main mission is to make the public aware of the world's environmental issues. It will run through Sept. 18.

The influence of social media, bloggers and vloggers is creating highly visible and instant sales peaks for womenswear, John Lewis's third annual report into consumer behaviour has revealed.
Images shared via social networks such as Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest are now more influential than celebrities and models on the catwalk, which were previously the main inspiration for style, according to the John Lewis Retail Report, published on October 16.
Womenswear sales via mobile increased by 86% compared with the previous year, underlining a more impulsive 'want it now' approach.
John Lewis is calling today's new breed of omnichannel consumer the 'master shopper', defined by their knowledge of how to find the right product at the right price, available how, when and where they want it.
The report found that the average fashion customer interacts with John Lewis four times during a purchase, through a combination of researching online, browsing in store, researching online through other media outlets and home delivery. About 5% of shoppers interact more than 10 times during a purchase and Nickolds believes this figure will continue to increase.
Sales of the Trilogy denim offer, which includes premium and contemporary denim labels J Brand, AG and Paige, are 32% ahead of expectations, although Nickolds declined to give specific figures.
"The Birmingham store is trading ahead of budget and Loved&Found is ahead of the pack," she added.

Tiger says he's 'lucky to be alive,' still have leg
November 30, 2021 , 47sportsclub	, Leave a comment
Tiger Woods was optimistic about playing some limited professional golf in the future while also being realistic about the struggles ahead, given the perspective he gleaned from the serious auto accident he endured in February.
"I'm lucky to be alive and also have a limb," Woods said Tuesday in the Bahamas, where he conducted his first news conference since the Feb. 23 crash in Southern California.
Woods was at Albany Golf Club, site of this week's Hero World Challenge, an event he hosts for his foundation.
He did not answer any specific questions about the accident, in which he traversed a winding road on his way to Rolling Hills Country Club early in the morning for an endorsement obligation. He referenced the 22-page police report that was issued in early April.
Woods was in the hospital for three weeks after the accident and in a hospital-like bed for three months after that. He suffered significant injuries to his right leg and foot and said it was "50-50" as to whether part of his leg might be amputated.
"This one's been much more difficult," Woods said, referencing the various injury comebacks in his career. "The knee stuff was one thing. That's one level. Then the back. With this right leg. … it's hard to explain how difficult it is. Being immobile for three months. Just to lay there. I was just looking forward to getting outside. That was a goal of mine. Especially for a person who lived his entire life outside, that was a goal.
"I transitioned from a wheelchair to crutches and now nothing. It's been a lot of hard work."
But he also admitted that "there's a long way to go."
"As far as playing at the tour level, I don't know when that's going to happen," he said. "Now, I'll play a round here or there, a little hit and giggle, I can do something like that. The USGA suggested Play It Forward [the tees]. I really like that idea now. I don't like the tees on the back. I like Play It Forward. Come on, let's move it up, let's move it up.
"To see some of my shots fall out of the sky a lot shorter than they used to is a little eye-opening, but at least I'm able to do it again. That's something that for a while there it didn't look like I was going to."
Woods was vague about when he was able to begin walking again and how much golf he has played but acknowledged that he has played "some holes" and posted a video on Nov. 21 in which he hit a shot from a driving range with the caption "Making Progress."
He also noted that his comeback from spinal fusion surgery in 2017 to win the 2018 Tour Championship, the 2019 Masters and his 82nd victory at the 2019 Zozo Championship makes it easier to accept his fate now.
"I got that last major, and I ticked off two more events along the way," he said. "I don't foresee this leg ever being what it used to be, hence I'll never have the back what it used to be, and clock's ticking. I'm getting older, I'm not getting any younger. All that combined means a full schedule and a full practice schedule and the recovery that would take to do that … no, I don't have any desire to do that.
"But to ramp it up for a few events a year and, as I alluded to Mr. [Ben] Hogan did, and he did a pretty good job of it, and there's no reason that I can't do that and feel ready. I may not be tournament-sharp in a sense that I haven't played tournaments, but I think if you practice correctly and you do it correctly, that I've come off surgeries before. So I know the recipe for it, I've just got to get to a point where I feel comfortable enough where I can do that again."
Hogan, who won 64 PGA Tour events and nine major championships, was involved in his own serious auto accident in 1949, when he and his wife, Valerie, where driving to Texas from a tournament in Phoenix. They were hit by a Greyhound bus, and he suffered significant injuries, including to his legs.
After the accident, Hogan never played more than nine tournaments in a year, the most coming in 1950. In 1951, he played just four times, winning twice — the Masters and U.S. Open. In 1953, he played just six times, winning five, including all three major championships he played.
But Hogan was younger than Woods, who turns 46 on Dec. 30.
"I have a long way in the rehab process of this leg, and it's not the fun stuff of the rehab," Woods said. "It's just reps and breaking up scar tissue and things that really hurt. So that part of it's not going to be fun, but the challenge of it is. I enjoy the challenge of getting in there and trying to push it to the next level; sometimes it's two steps forward, one step back, but you've got to go through it. I enjoy that part of it, and maybe one day it will be good enough where I can get out here and I can compete against these best players in the world again."
According to the police report issued by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, Woods was "driving at a speed unsafe for the road conditions" and was unable to negotiate the curve of the roadway. According to the report, he was traveling at more than 82 mph in a 45 mph zone, and it was unclear whether Woods attempted to negotiate the curve.
Instead of staying in his lane as the road curved to the right, Woods went straight into a median, struck a curb, knocked down a wooden sign, and drove into the opposite lanes before hitting a tree and rolling over in the vehicle.
As he sat in the interview room at Albany, Woods acknowledged that he was experiencing pain in his back and his leg. That is part of what he needs to overcome, he said.
Although noncommittal to any schedule or a return, Woods was asked specifically about The Open at St. Andrews in July, a place where he has won twice.
"I would love to be able to play that Open Championship, there's no doubt about it," he said. "Physically, I hope I can. I've got to get there first. Tournament's not going to go anywhere, but I need to get there."
When asked about his looming 46th birthday, Woods joked that it would mean that in four more years "I'm in a cart," referencing the PGA Tour Champions eligibility that will come with turning 50.
"This year's been a year I would like to turn the page on," he said.

Q: Is there a way to have a RoutePrefix that starts with an optional parameter? I want to reach the Bikes controller with these URL's:
/bikes     // (default path for US)
/ca/bikes  // (path for Canada)

One way of achieving that is using multiple Route Attributes per Action:
[Route("bikes")]
[Route("{country}/bikes")]
public ActionResult Index()

To keep it DRY I'd prefer to use a RoutePrefix, but multiple Route Prefixes are not allowed:
[RoutePrefix("bikes")]
[RoutePrefix("{country}/bikes")] // <-- Error: Duplicate 'RoutePrefix' attribute
public class BikesController : BaseController

    [Route("")]
    public ActionResult Index()

I've tried using just this Route Prefix:
[RoutePrefix("{country}/bikes")]
public class BikesController : BaseController

Result: /ca/bikes works, /bikes 404s.
I've tried making country optional:
[RoutePrefix("{country?}/bikes")]
public class BikesController : BaseController

Same result: /ca/bikes works, /bikes 404s.
I've tried giving country a default value:
[RoutePrefix("{country=us}/bikes")]
public class BikesController : BaseController

Same result: /ca/bikes works, /bikes 404s.
Is there another way to achieve my objective using Attribute Routing?
(And yes, I know I can do this stuff by registering routes in RouteConfig.cs, but that's what not I'm looking for here).
I'm using Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc 5.2.2.
FYI: these are simplified examples - the actual code has an IRouteConstraint for the {country} values, like:
[Route("{country:countrycode}/bikes")]

A: I am a bit late to the party, but i have a working solution for this problem. Please find my detailed blog post on this issue here
I am writing down summary below
You need to create 2 files as given below

*3bTechTalkRoutePrefix.cs

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Web;
    using System.Web.Http;

    namespace _3bTechTalk.MultipleRoutePrefixAttributes
    {
        [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = true, Inherited = true)]
        public class _3bTechTalkRoutePrefix : RoutePrefixAttribute
        {
            public int Order { get; set; }

            public _3bTechTalkRoutePrefix(string prefix) : this(prefix, 0) { }

            public _3bTechTalkRoutePrefix(string prefix, int order) : base(prefix)
            {
                Order = order;
            }
        }
    }

Once done, open WebApiConfig.cs and add this below given line

config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(new _3bTechTalkMultiplePrefixDirectRouteProvider());

That's it, now you can add multiple route prefix in your controller. Example below

    [_3bTechTalkRoutePrefix("api/Car", Order = 1)]
    [_3bTechTalkRoutePrefix("{CountryCode}/api/Car", Order = 2)]
    public class CarController: ApiController {
     [Route("Get")]
     public IHttpActionResult Get() {
      return Ok(new {
       Id = 1, Name = "Honda Accord"
      });
     }
    }

I have uploaded a working solution here
Happy Coding :)

A: You're correct that you can't have multiple route prefixes, which means solving this particular use case is not going to be straight forward. About the best way I can think of to achieve what you want with the minimal amount of modifications to your project is to subclass your controller. For example:
[RoutePrefix("bikes")]
public class BikeController : Controller
{
    ...
}

[RoutePrefix("{country}/bikes")]
public class CountryBikeController : BikeController
{
}

You subclassed controller will inherit all the actions from BikeController, so you don't need to redefine anything, per se. However, when it comes to generating URLs and getting them to go to the right place, you'll either need to be explicit with the controller name:
@Url.Action("Index", "CountryBike", new { country = "us" }

Or, if you're using named routes, you'll have to override your actions in your subclassed controller so you can apply new route names:
[Route("", Name = "CountryBikeIndex")]
public override ActionResult Index()
{
    base.Index();
}

Also, bear in mind, that when using parameters in route prefixes, all of your actions in that controller should take the parameter:
public ActionResult Index(string country = "us")
{
    ...

A: You could use attribute routes with two ordered options.
public partial class GlossaryController : Controller {

    [Route("~/glossary", Order = 2)]
    [Route("~/{countryCode}/glossary", Order = 1)]
    public virtual ActionResult Index()
    {
      return View();
    }
}

If you're planning to have region specific routes for all your pages you could add a route to the route config above the default. This will work only for views/controllers without attribute routes.
  routes.MapRoute(
     name: "Region",
     url: "{countryCode}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
     defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
     constraints: new { countryCode = @"\w{2}" }
  );

A: The best solution I've come across is detailed by NightOwl888 in response to the following question: ASP.NET MVC 5 culture in route and url. The code below is my trimmed down version of his post. It's working for me in MVC5.
Decorate each controller with a single RoutePrefix, without a culture segment. When the application starts up, the custom MapLocalizedMvcAttributeRoutes method adds a localized route entry for each controller action.
public class RouteConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        // Omitted for brevity

        MapLocalizedMvcAttributeRoutes(routes, "{culture}/", new { culture = "[a-z]{2}-[A-Z]{2}" });
    }

    static void MapLocalizedMvcAttributeRoutes(RouteCollection routes, string urlPrefix, object constraints)
    {
        var routeCollectionRouteType = Type.GetType("System.Web.Mvc.Routing.RouteCollectionRoute, System.Web.Mvc");
        var subRouteCollectionType = Type.GetType("System.Web.Mvc.Routing.SubRouteCollection, System.Web.Mvc");
        var linkGenerationRouteType = Type.GetType("System.Web.Mvc.Routing.LinkGenerationRoute, System.Web.Mvc");
        FieldInfo subRoutesInfo = routeCollectionRouteType.GetField("_subRoutes", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
        PropertyInfo entriesInfo = subRouteCollectionType.GetProperty("Entries");
        MethodInfo addMethodInfo = subRouteCollectionType.GetMethod("Add");

        var localizedRouteTable = new RouteCollection();
        var subRoutes = Activator.CreateInstance(subRouteCollectionType);
        Func<Route, RouteBase> createLinkGenerationRoute = (Route route) => (RouteBase)Activator.CreateInstance(linkGenerationRouteType, route);

        localizedRouteTable.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

        foreach (var routeCollectionRoute in localizedRouteTable.Where(rb => rb.GetType().Equals(routeCollectionRouteType)))
        {
            // routeCollectionRoute._subRoutes.Entries
            foreach (RouteEntry routeEntry in (IEnumerable)entriesInfo.GetValue(subRoutesInfo.GetValue(routeCollectionRoute)))
            {
                var localizedRoute = CreateLocalizedRoute(routeEntry.Route, urlPrefix, constraints);
                var localizedRouteEntry = new RouteEntry(string.IsNullOrEmpty(routeEntry.Name) ? null : $"{routeEntry.Name}_Localized", localizedRoute);
                // Add localized and default routes and subroute entries
                addMethodInfo.Invoke(subRoutes, new[] { localizedRouteEntry });
                addMethodInfo.Invoke(subRoutes, new[] { routeEntry });
                routes.Add(createLinkGenerationRoute(localizedRoute));
                routes.Add(createLinkGenerationRoute(routeEntry.Route));
            }
        }
        var routeEntries = Activator.CreateInstance(routeCollectionRouteType, subRoutes);
        routes.Add((RouteBase)routeEntries);
    }

    static Route CreateLocalizedRoute(Route route, string urlPrefix, object constraints)
    {
        var routeUrl = urlPrefix + route.Url;
        var routeConstraints = new RouteValueDictionary(constraints);
        // combine with any existing constraints
        foreach (var constraint in route.Constraints)
        {
            routeConstraints.Add(constraint.Key, constraint.Value);
        }
        return new Route(routeUrl, route.Defaults, routeConstraints, route.DataTokens, route.RouteHandler);
    }
}

Today, I am pleased to share an expanded version of my first review for Red Letters Reads, an online book review site, founded by Jessica of Don't Mind the Mess. I met Jessica a few months ago at a Boston Parent Bloggers event. Soon thereafter, she solicited volunteers to read and review The Sandcastle Girls (see my review here), and as an avid reader, I was thrilled to review an advance copy of that book. When she then founded Red Letter Reads, I jumped at the chance to be a member, and I look forward to sharing reviews of the books I read through that group here. The reviews I share on Red Shuttersmay be longer, and perhaps more personal, than what runs on Red Letter Reads, though I encourage you to check out the site. It's a terrific resource, if you are looking for a book and just don't know where to start. Each book will be reviewed by five people, which will ensure a diversity of perspectives. Even the tag line will draw you in: "helping books and readers find true love." Great, isn't it? Read on for today's review.
The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe explores this question and others about religion, happiness, loneliness, strength, family, and a host of other essential issues we encounter in life. It is through the act of reading—of immersing ourselves in stories, both fictional and true—that we understand who we are and we connect to the world at large. This is the legacy that Schwalbe's mother, Mary Anne, the other member of this very special book club, leaves him. Together, Schwalbe and Mary Anne read dozens of books together in the last two years of Mary Anne's life, as she suffered from a terminal illness. By writing this memoir about the books they read and the discussions they shared about their readings, Schwalbe captures the lessons his mother tried to impart as she faced her final days, and he honors her inspiring spirit.
Schwalbe's exploration of how adult children—especially sons—express love and gratitude to their parents is touching. He also does a great job addressing the leaps we take to pursue our passions by recounting his own decision to quit his job and undertake new professional endeavors. Both his personal and professional journeys are, of course, reflected in the books he and his mother read and resonate with the readers of this memoir.
One of my favorite sections of the book addresses mindfulness, a quality that is short supply in our hectic lives. From checking email "incessantly" to interrupting an important conversation to answer the phone to fixating on "temporary concerns or desires" rather than thinking a thought all the way through, we lose sight of what is truly important. And, Schwalbe, through this book and during his mother's final months, worked hard to ensure the precious and impermanent moments did not evaporate. He captured them for himself, his family, his mother, and the reader—a gift to us all, and a reminder of that which we cannot let disappear.
I enjoyed this book; it's a perfect balance of book report and personal history. I felt, in a way, that I had read many books by the end, not just Schwalbe's memoir, and that is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of the varied books he and his mother selected and why each mattered to their last days together. I'll admit, though, that it took me a lot longer to finish this book than I had expected. I think it's because I knew how it would end; Mary Anne's death is inevitable. In fact, in many ways, it was just like how she always read the end of the book first. That was Mary Anne's strategy to head off any anxiety or suspense from an intense book; she'd read the last pages first. For me, the reader who never reads the end of the book first, knowing that Schwalbe and his family were going to lose Mary Anne, a woman of great courage and morality who devoted her life to refugees and to helping others, was difficult. It was too close to home, perhaps.
If you are facing the terminal illness of a loved one, I would recommend waiting on this book, as Mary Anne's treatment is a major story line. This is, however, a great selection for people who enjoy learning about new books—I added several books to my own reading list after finishing The End of Your Life Book Club—and people who like memoirs.

At a moment when marriage and childbirth are on the decline, employment is increasingly short-term and precarious, and more and more people are living longer and all alone, sociality is changing in Japan. Away from the workplace or the family, ever more attention is placed on a free-floating, mobile but responsible self. Consistent with this streamlining of the social is a new trend in "simple living" spurred by de-clutter guru, Marie Kondo. Encouraged to detach from all but the most essential, most joyful of personal possessions, the stress is on matter that materializes life in a very particular way. But in this presentist, self-oriented lifestyle, what happens at the time of death? To those possessions the deceased has left behind, and to bodies of the dead, in cases when there is no social other to attend to these persons and things? Asking what the matter of death is in an age of decluttered belonging(s), I examine new businesses emerging in Japan (ihin seiri gaisha) that help clients sort through the possessions left behind, or that they may leave behind themselves, at the moment of death. Special clean-up of the "lonely dead" is one of their services—sanitizing the landscape of the waste left behind by a wounded sociality.

Sycuan Casino To Reopen, Three More San Diego County Casinos Will Follow
Sycuan Casino Resort
Sycuan Casino Resort in El Cajon in this 2019 rendering of the $260 million expansion.
Sycuan Casino will reopen in limited fashion Wednesday, becoming the second of five tribal casinos that will open its doors this week.
Viejas Casino and Resort reopened on Monday, Jamul Casino will reopen on Thursday and Valley View Casino & Hotel and Harrah's Resort Southern California will reopen Friday.
Bingo and poker will remain closed as part of the phased reopening. Restaurants will operate for limited hours and gaming areas will require appropriate spacing between players and staff.
Tables games will be limited to a maximum of three players per table and every other slot machine will be turned off to further encourage space between players.
Patrons and staff will also be required to undergo temperature checks, wear masks at all times and practice physical distancing.
All five casinos are on tribal land, meaning they are not subject to the same state regulations that have limited most business operations in California.
RELATED: San Diego Tribal Casinos Start To Reopen, Masks Required
San Diego County health officials reported 80 new COVID-19 cases and 11 additional deaths on Tuesday, raising the totals to 6,026 cases and 222 deaths.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to ask Gov. Gavin Newsom to accelerate the reopening of certain facilities and activities shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The vote was 4-1, with Supervisor Nathan Fletcher opposed, to send a formal letter to Newsom in support of a pilot program to further open such facilities as youth and sports clubs, salons, fitness clubs and outdoor religious services.
Fletcher said he believes the county is ready to responsibly reopen businesses in "Stage 2" consistent with the guidelines Newsom outlined Monday.
However, "given we have not even opened 'Stage 2' businesses, I do not believe it is time to call on the state to allow the immediate opening of 'Stage 3' entities including higher-risk activities like gatherings and businesses with high exposure, intensity and duration of risk," Fletcher said Tuesday.
Newsom has said he believes the county will be ready to move into "Stage 3" at the beginning of June, Fletcher added.
Newsom said Monday county governments should have more discretion in terms of reopening certain types of facilities.
Supervisor Jim Desmond called the pilot plan "a step in the right direction."
Desmond said if the county doesn't allow for more facilities to reopen, the health crisis will cause unemployment to keep increasing.
Helen Robbins-Meyer, the county's chief executive officer, said Tuesday that until Newsom's team has reviewed data associated with Stage 2 openings and is assured there have been no significant spikes in coronavirus cases "then, and only then, will he declare the state has entered into Stage 3."
"We remain committed to abiding by the state's order," she said, adding that she believes San Diego County is uniquely qualified to meet some Stage 3 criteria because of its practices.
"I cannot say the governor will approve this pilot," Robbins-Meyer said, but if he does even approve part of it, the county can move forward.
The board voted after hearing an update on the county's efforts to contain further spread of the coronavirus. Health officials said the county is ready to move further into Stage 2 of the California Resiliency Roadmap.
Robbins-Meyer said the county meets Stage 2 acceleration criteria. According to the county, that criteria includes:
— Less than 5% of daily COVID-19 hospitalizations over a seven-day period or no more than 20 COVID hospitalizations on any single day in the past 14 days;
— Fewer than 25 new cases per 100,000 residents in the past 14 days or less than 8% testing positive in the past seven days;
— A capacity to be able to test 1.5 per every 1,000 residents and at least 15 staff per 100,000 county population trained and available for contact tracing, and;
— Hospital capacity for a possible surge of 35% of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 cases in addition to providing usual care for other patients.
San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said Tuesday the county's decision was welcome news.
"We have a real opportunity to demonstrate that leadership and open businesses such as hair salons," Faulconer said. "Small businesses are ready to get back on their feet."
The board's actions also won praise from state Sen. Brian Jones, R-Santee.
"The last eight weeks have taken a devastating toll on small businesses, their workers and families throughout the region," Jones said.
"After some prodding by a lot of us, including Supervisors Desmond and (Kristin) Gaspar, the full board is finally starting to `get it."

Q: Finding similar strings within two cells in excel I want to extract similar strings within two cells as an Excel function. See below example:

I read some pages like it but doesn't help me.

A: You can try this code:
Option Base 1
    Sub CompareStrings2()
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        If Selection.Columns.Count <> 2 Then GoTo MyExitSub
        Dim i As Long, lenC1 As Long, lenC2 As Long, r As Long, y As Long, x As Long, ChkLen As Long, OffSetCol As Long
        Dim C1Str As String, C2Str As String, tempStr As String
        Dim ArrC1(), ArrC2, ArrSel, ArrResult
        ArrSel = Selection
        i = UBound(ArrSel, 1)
        ReDim ArrResult(i)
        ReDim ArrC1(i)
        ReDim ArrC2(i)
        For r = LBound(ArrC1, 1) To UBound(ArrC1, 1)
            ArrC1(r) = ArrSel(r, 1)
            ArrC2(r) = ArrSel(r, 2)
        Next r
        ChkLen = 3 ' change this number to be the minimum recognised length, i.e. 1 for a single letter.
            If Len(C1Str) > Len(C2Str) Then
            tempStr = C2Str
            C2Str = C1Str
            C1Str = tempStr
            End If
        For r = LBound(ArrC1, 1) To UBound(ArrC1, 1)
            C1Str = ArrC1(r)
            lenC1 = Len(C1Str)
            C2Str = ArrC2(r)
            lenC2 = Len(C2Str)
            For x = Len(C1Str) To ChkLen Step -1
                For y = 1 To Len(C1Str) - ChkLen
                If InStr(C2Str, Trim(Mid(C1Str, y, x))) Then
                    ArrResult(r) = Trim(Mid(C1Str, y, x))
                    GoTo MyNxtr
                End If
                Next y
            Next x
    MyNxtr:
        OffSetCol = 2 ' Change this value to change the offset column.
        Next r
        For i = LBound(ArrResult) To UBound(ArrResult)
        Selection.Cells(1, 1).Offset(i - 1, OffSetCol) = Trim(ArrResult(i))
        Next i
    MyExitSub:
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub

Change the value of ChkLen to be the minimum match you are looking for, highlight the two columns to be compared and the result should be placed in the next column (eg, if you select range A2:B10 the results will appear in C2:C10. If you want to change the offset of the result column
paste in a module and link to a button or otherwise run the code from the VBA editor.


The decision came two weeks after it announced its intention to sell its stake.
EXOR S.p.A., an Italian-based investment company controlled by the Agnelli family, will purchase 27.8% of The Economist Group's ordinary shares for consideration of £227.5 million and all of the B special shares for consideration of £59.5 million from Pearson. The Agnellis' stake in The Economist Group currently stands at 4.72%.
Pearson's remaining ordinary shares will be repurchased by The Economist Group for a total consideration of £182 million.
The transaction is subject to a number of regulatory approvals and to approval by both a 75% majority of The Economist Group shareholders and the group's independent trustees.
The proceeds will be used by Pearson for general corporate purposes and investment in its global education strategy.
Just last month, Pearson sold its stake in the Financial Times to Japanese digital media group Nikkei for £844 million. The latest transaction concludes Pearson's exit from the news publishing business.
The Economist Group owns The Economist newspaper, Economist.com, the Economist Intelligence Unit, CQ Roll Call and TVC – a marketing agency based in London.
