It is one of Hanoch Levin's most brilliant and pungent family comedies.
Lachek's old mother died and he is on his way to inform the family about the time of the funeral, but he arrives in bad timing: his aunt Shratsia and uncle Rashes are busy with the final preparations for the wedding of their daughter Velvetsia – due for tomorrow. They are determined to avoid -in any possible way – receiving the dismal news which would ruin their plans. After all, "you don't just throw away four hundred guests and eight hundred chickens to the trash and cancel a hot wedding with meat and Cognac, for a rainy funeral of a little old woman."
But the problem becomes even harder as Lachek attempts to save his mother from a second death – forgetfulness – and chases the family to the end of the world in order to tell them of his mother's death and invite them to the funeral.
It is one of Hanoch Levin's most brilliant and pungent family comedies.

The most remarkable feature of the flashy new Sands Macao casino, according to Asian high rollers, isn't the 18-m-tall windows or the 50-ton chandelier or even the bar offering 200 kinds of tea (free!). No, for big spenders accustomed to the dingy, smoke-choked quarters of China's only legal gaming district, the highest praise for the first American-run casino goes to its ventilation system. "It doesn't feel stuffy," marvels local resident Tong Tin-Chung, "so you won't get dizzy." The Sands offers more than clean air there are sequined showgirls, megaplex-size TVs and a 90-m-long buffet, all designed to reel in mainlanders...

Please can someone write me a macro to create a new worksheet in Excel based on a trigger.
Basically I have a master worksheet which is the first tab in the series containing some data. Column F has a drop down list containing two options "Completed" and "Pending". I want excel to create a new worksheet whenever a user selects "Completed" from the drop down list. The trigger will always be "Completed" and in case the selection is "Pending" then nothing should happen.
I don't know if its possible or not but I would also like the new worksheet created to be renamed automatically to data input in other cells. E.g. - If I user "Completed" in Cell F1 then the new worksheet created should be renamed to the data in Cell A1, B1 and C1.
Values and result for e.g :
Cell A1 = Jan 2011
Cell B1 = BACS
Cell C1 = Pre Flight
Result required = A new worksheet named "Jan 2011-BACS-Pre Flight"
Right click the sheet tab for the "master" worksheet, choose View Code and paste this code into the pane that opens:Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 6 And Target = "Completed" Then ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count) Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = _ Range("A" & Target.Row) & "- " & _ Range("B" & Target.Row) & "- " & _ Range("C" & Target.Row) End If End Sub

NEWTON, Mass. – Freshman Sarah Walton (Poland, Maine) cracked a two-run home run in the second inning of the second game Wednesday afternoon to spark Lasell College to a 4-3 victory over Suffolk University and give the Lasers a split of a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) softball doubleheader at Taylor Field. Suffolk took the opener, 10-0, in six innings.
With the win in the nightcap, Lasell snapped a seven-game losing streak to Suffolk, dating back to 2014. It also marked a dramatic improvement over last season, when the Rams swept the Lasers by scores of 17-6 and 5-0. With the outcome, Lasell moves to 6-18 overall and 5-7 in the GNAC, while Suffolk is now 19-7 overall and 12-2 in conference play.
Sophomores Victoria Spellman (Rocky Hill, Conn.) and Arianna Genovese (Rocky Hill, Conn.) each went 1-for-3 in both games for the Lasers, with both contributing a double and an RBI in the nightcap victory.
Game 1 – Suffolk 10, Lasell 0
Senior Ali Yamakaitis (Avenel, N.J.) allowed just five hits and two walks over six innings to lead the Rams, while striking out four batters to improve her record to 5-3. The Rams' offense pounded out 14 hits, including five doubles, to secure the win.
Freshman Payton Sylvester (Worcester, Mass.) scored an unearned run for the visitors in the first inning following a Lasell infield error, a sacrifice bunt and an infield groundout. The Ram bats exploded for three runs in the second inning after sophomores Ashley Zulla (Columbus, N.J.) and McKenzie McGrath (Exeter, N.H.) set the table with one out singles. Freshman Kelly Keane (Hamilton, N.J.) drilled an RBI double to left field, senior Madison Eucalitto (Old Saybrook, Conn.) followed with an RBI single to center, and Sylvester capped the rally with an RBI double to center.
The Rams tacked on a run in the fourth inning after Eucalitto and Sylvester led off with singles to put two runners on. Eucalitto advanced to third on a fielder's choice and scored on the back end of a double steal. Suffolk then put the game away with five runs in the sixth inning, as junior Jaclyn Flint (Medfield, Mass.) had a two-run single and McGrath added a two-run double to highlight the rally.
Senior Ashley Gatchell (Franklin, Mass.) went 2-for-2 to provide the highlight for the Lasers.
Game 2 – Lasell 4, Suffolk 3
The Rams struck first in the second inning when Flint led off with a double and came around to score on an infield out. The Lasers bounced right back in the bottom half of the inning when freshman Carly VanDeusen (North Haven, Conn.) walked with one out and Walton blasted her first home run and the team's first home run of the season.
Lasell made it a two-run lead (3-1) with a run in the third inning when freshman Hailey Haskins (Franklin, N.H.) singled to right and scored on a double to center by Genovese. The teams traded runs in the fifth inning, as Zulla cracked a solo home run to right for the Rams and Spellman answered with an RBI double to left for the Lasers.
Suffolk to the deficit to 4-3 in the sixth inning when Sylvester doubled to left and later scored on a sacrifice fly by senior Devlin Frost (Tewksbury, Mass.) but the Rams left two runners on base.
Haskins earned the complete-game victory for Lasell, allowing just three runs on six hits, improving her record to 5-6. Freshman Constance Phelan (Longwood, Fla.) gave up three runs in three innings for Suffolk and was saddled with the loss (1-1).
Next Games
The Lasers are slated to return to action Thursday in a GNAC make-up doubleheader Thursday, April 19, at Mount Ida College, weather permitting, before travelling to the University of Saint Joseph (Conn.) on Saturday, April 21, for a conference twin bill, beginning at noon. Suffolk visits Mount Ida for a doubleheader Saturday, April 21, at noon.

text: This pairing of albums that date from 1962 with bonus tracks from the early-mid 1950s is the ideal way to investigate the early career of Brazilian pianist Joao Donato who is, perhaps, better known to readers for his 1970s musings on electric piano. The first album after which the CD title is taken is a delicious slice of Brazilian samba-jazz originally on Pacific Jazz and with a host of uptempo treats. Of these "Tim-Dom-Dom' is the crème of the crop and would grace and Brazilian compilation with distinction. A sophisticated bossa in 'Pra que chorar' offers Garneresque charms while a dance-floor winner of a tune is the title track which features the catchiest of hooks and some lovely rim drum work as only a master Brazilian drummer can muster. For a left-field track, 'Naquela base' is an absolute gem and underlines just what a fine composer Donato is while another pacy number 'Olhou pra mim' should not be overlooked. The second album, 'Bossa Nova Carnaval', is headed by vibist Dave Pike and finds Donato in a secondary supportive role alongside guitarist Kenny Burrell and trumpeter Clark Terry. While not as compelling as the first album, the gentler bossa-influenced hues grow with each listen and 'Sausalito' is a shuffler of a number. As a useful bonus, 'Mambinho' is an early example of Donato's craft from the 1950s and features his conjunto that includes percussion, flute and trombone. Once again impeccable value for money at just under eighty minutes and informative sleeve notes. Tim Stenhouse

Unpretentious tales of the family history behind Valvona and Crolla
Two amiable old boys (Mike Maran and Philip Contini) sing and gag their way through the history of the families that formed Edinburgh culinary institution Valvona and Crolla. Along the way we hear of their struggling starts as entrepreneurial emigrants, through a murky, tragic, encounter with Italian fascism, and on to postwar, Hibs-supporting prosperity. There's a homey kind of atmosphere to this unpretentious piece, helped by live accordion music.

Delphi is pitching automakers on a fuel-saving technology that it reckons could solve a brewing crisis for European manufacturers' diesel-heavy product portfolios.
The powertrain and electronics giant believes combining two emerging technologies can boost the efficiency of traditional gasoline-engine vehicles by as much as 19 percent.
If so, the solution could help some automakers disentangle themselves from relying on diesel engines to meet global fuel economy regulations.
Some European automakers have banked on diesels to meet environmental standards because they offer better fuel efficiency than gasoline engines. But diesel engines are now in doubt because of tightening global CO2 standards.
Delphi officials say they can make gasoline engines hit comparable numbers while still preserving the low-end torque that diesel drivers are accustomed to.
Delphi's proposal combines its 48-volt mild hybrid system with a new type of cylinder deactivation it calls Dynamic Skip Fire. When paired, the technologies can increase fuel economy by as much as 19 percent on the EPA's city cycle test and 14 percent on the highway, said Harry Husted, Delphi's director of powertrain engineering.
Both systems are ready for production, Delphi says, though neither is likely to arrive before 2020.
The 48-volt system and Dynamic Skip Fire can be used separately but complement each other by increasing engine efficiency at both low and high speeds.

Hundreds of people from Pakistan's militancy-racked tribal areas rallied in Islamabad Monday (Oct 9) calling on the government to abolish colonial-era British laws and merge the semi-autonomous north-western region with the rest of the country.
The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) are still governed by a century-old legal code known as the Frontier Crimes Regulations (FCR).
That includes the practice of collective punishment, allowing government authorities to hold entire clans responsible for the crimes of individuals.
Pakistan's government has approved reforms abolishing the FCR and implementing national laws in the region along the border with Afghanistan, where militants once operated with impunity.
But the changes are being delayed by political squabbles as Pakistan gears up for a general election due sometime next year.
"We are here to press the government to abolish the FCR law and extend the jurisdiction of Pakistani courts to FATA," Mian Iftekhar Hussain, one of the speakers, told people at the rally.
"More than 90 per cent of tribesmen also want to merge the tribal areas with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province," Hussain said as up to 2,000 tribesmen shouted slogans such as "Go FCR Go," and "We demand merger of FATA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa".
Shahabuddin Khan, a tribal lawmaker from Bajaur district, said they would continue pressuring the government until the FCR was abolished and the tribal areas were fully incorporated into the rest of Pakistan.
The seven tribal districts in FATA – Bajaur, Khyber, Kurram, Mohmand, North Waziristan, Orakzai and South Waziristan – are home to some five million residents, mainly ethnic Pashtuns.
Following the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the region gradually became a hotbed for Islamist militancy and by the mid-2000s was considered one of the most dangerous places on earth.
But Pakistan's powerful army cracked down on militancy after 2014, leading an operation into FATA that displaced thousands of people even as it help spur a dramatic improvement in security in recent years.

Over the years of planning we've seen and heard quite a bit. We wanted to share with you a few tips and personal advice from none other than Team Blissful, to help keep the emotions and stress level low during the wedding planning process.
DO: Bring the important people in your life whose opinion you value the most, when shopping for the wedding dress. This is one of the most exciting times for the bride-to-be! You may visit just 1 store or 10..., try on 3 dresses or 20+, regardless once you find 'THE ONE' that you are smiling ear to ear, possibly tears and feel like a princess, that's it! Check it off your list. ✔
DON'T: Don't continue looking. There is no need to keep looking at dresses if you've found 'THE ONE', if it's checked off your list, it's done. Continue on to the next item. The worst feeling is doubting what you purchased if you see something else. Go with your first instinct, and plus the opinions you value the most were there the day you said "YES TO THE DRESS !".
DO: Ask for advice. Of course you are to have many questions throughout the planning process, whether it be something about the venues, maybe decor related or perhaps wedding etiquette. We highly encourage to be prepared before meetings and the ask questions to the pros in the industry (we answer these questions on a daily) or asking advice from a family member or friend because you trust their judgement, but please don't ask everyone.
DON'T: Don't ask for peoples opinion unless you really want it. Everyone has different opinions for everything, whether it relates to them or not they will speak their mind.You will then take that in and think about it, this is what confuses couples. If you know what you want and are sure of your decision, then why ask? If you're asking because you want to, then make sure to take ever answer with a grain of salt because it may not be what you want to hear. Remember, if you get confused, go back to the people who gave you advice. Those are the ones you trust.
DO: Stick to the budget. As we've said and will say over and over to all our couples is "stick to the budget". There may be be something that comes up that you REALLY want or may not have budgeted for.. well, back to the budget you go before booking anything. Maybe you can move some monies around from something that may not be as important. This will keep you at ease and help you and your fiance stay on the same page.
DON'T: Don't get sidetracked. This is very easy to do with all the choices out there, once you know you have your vision/style and budget (refer back to our blog on 5 HELPFUL TIPS ON HOW TO PLAN THE PERFECT WEDDING) stay focused. Loss of focus can result in stress and regrets.
DO: Think about the children. Do you want children at your wedding? Maybe you just want an "adults-only reception"? Speak to your venue coordinator and ask if there is a small room near by that can be rented and used for a children's play area. Then hire a professional babysitter or ECE worker to take care and play games with those children. The children will love it and the parents will appreciate the thought and be able to relax and enjoy their night knowing their kids are close by.
DON'T: Don't be a bridezilla. The last thing you want is stress on yourself and others around you. We know you want your day to be perfect (of course you do - you've spent majority of your time the past months planning!) But you need to keep in mind that not everything is going to go as planned and half of the things that don't no one will ever notice, expect you. Let the day flow as you've planned and let the little things go.
*Hiring a wedding planner will help with this one, you will be at ease days/weeks before the wedding as the planner will have all the information (everything is off your plate!) They play the middle man on the day of and are your shield from any little mishaps that may arise. Everything will go through them, they will know ahead of time what you wanted or paid for, so they can make the executive decision on your behalf.
DO: ENJOY YOUR DAY! The day has finally come, we always remind our clients to step back and really take it all in. Take time for yourselves throughout the day and love every moment!
We Bring The Fun, You Bring The Party!LET'S GET STARTED!

2012 Award Winner for Residential Construction $25,000-$50,000
This project was a blank slate, sometimes the hardest to design/build. The only existing feature to work with was an upper deck just off the kitchen, which was being expanded and built by another contractor. We assisted in the layout at the clients' request, resulting in an average size upper deck to cook and fit a few chairs, focusing more on wider steps to the new, larger grade level outdoor living space.
Original thought of the client was to have a massive lower, wood platform, built when the deck was. We viewed the existing sloping grade, lack of privacy, southern exposure and semi-retired/entertainment lifestyle elements, and designed a more appropriate, inviting and functional space. No detail was left untouched. Another challenge was the access: A narrow 6' opening to the yard at the bottom of a slope, dropping in elevation 6' over a 40' length. Small machines only!
Elegant Trafalgar pavers were chosen for the patio. Oversized flagstone, Celtic and guillotined steps were selected for the areas of transition, and an armour stone wall for a raised garden, reducing the dominance of wood. This balanced the space and reduced the glare and heat from an "all wood" surface in a yard with full sun.
The grade sloped slightly, allowing for the patio to be sunken, giving a more spatial feel, setting the space as low as possible, and ensuring a private and secluded room to enjoy. A cedar pergola was installed to give a "ceiling" to the space, adding shade and character to the outdoor room.
Finishing touches such as landscape lighting, bubbling rock and a new lawn brought all elements together to complete a natural, relaxing and inviting retreat.

I love a good Treasure Hunt. When I'm entertaining at kids parties, I'll often hold a treasure hunt as one of the first party activities. It's a great way for the kids to burn off that start-of-party excitement, and gives me a chance to catch my breath after the initial flood of arrivals.
How To Make A Theme Party Treasure Hunt
Here's how I create customised treasure hunts to match any party theme, without blowing the party budget.
Gather some treasures
Take a look in party, toy and bargain stores, and see what little trinkets you can find that match your theme. You can purchase licenced items, such as Disney princess figurines, but the cost can really add up, so think also of generic items. For example, teacups go well with an Alice In Wonderland theme, while chocolate coins would suit a pirate party.
Decide whether you're going to provide a treasure for every child to keep, or just a few. Consider the overall cost, and time taken to make treasures. Also consider the age of the children – older kids are generally better able to handle the notion of not everyone receiving exactly the same prizes. Always have a few extra treasures to keep on hand. This is in case the kids can't find everything, the dog runs off with something, or you can't remember where you've put them.
Get creative with labels and packaging. For an Alice In Wonderland themed party, I purchased these tiny bottles at a bargain store, filled them with a few tiny candies, and added an 'eat me' label, downloaded for free here. For an Octonauts party, I placed plastic sea-creatures, fake seaweed and glass pebbles into ziplock bags and filled them with blue water to create mini-aquariums. The kids loved them.

Create more treasures
Now here's where I use a little craft to create treasures at minimal cost – I print out pictures on card and cut them out. If you have a laminator, use that to make them more hard-wearing and weather-resistant. I generally use a mix of clip art, party printables and downloadable colouring pages. It doesn't matter that these aren't expensive prizes – kids just love finding stuff!
Take-home treasures
You can turn these tokens into take-home treats by making book-marks, rolling up a bunch of colouring pages, creating name-labels, cut-out paper dolls and so on. Search Pinterest or the internet in general for lots of downloadable printables. During the party, have your party bags nearby, labelled with the kids names, and let them store their treasures in their bag.
The best bit about this is you don't then have to buy lots of extra take-home goodies.
Play-with-me treasures
Another idea is to hide objects that will become part of the next party activity. For example, hide various puzzle pieces, and then hand out the completed picture on a card. The kids can then spend some time sticking their puzzle together. I did this with a Disney 'Frozen' themed party. I hid the body parts of Olaf the snowman, then stuck the completed picture on a bag. The kids collected the pieces and had to put him back together.
For other 'Frozen' parties, I've also hidden cardboard carrot noses, which we then use to play Pin The Carrot On The Snowman. I'll also hide foam tiara cutouts, and then get the kids to decorate them. These will also become a take-home item.

Create a treasure map
If you have time, you can create a map of your venue showing exactly where the treasures are hidden. Here's a handy treasure map printable that allows you to print, cut and paste such a map.
If your party-goers are too young to read maps, or you're not sure exacty where you'll be hiding your treasures, then you can simply create a picture card showing everything the kids should find. I create mine in Powerpoint, using clip art, photos and web images, then print on sturdy card.

You can also decorate a bag for the kids to collect their treasure in, or pin the map to a plain bag.
Running the treasure hunt
Remember to leave yourself time to hide the treasures before party guests arrive! Don't make it too tricky, or spread items too far and wide. If you're in an open area such as a park, keep everything within your seeing distance, and within landmarks. You can then tell the kids to look "Only as far as the first row of trees".
If you have a lot of party-goers, it might be easiest to divide the children into teams for the hunt.
Give each child or team a bag or container in which to collect their treasures, plus their map, and send them on their way. Tell them to return to you once they've found all their treasures, or when they hear your whistle or call. Now stand back and enjoy the spectacle!
There are various options for how you finish the treasure hunt. Here's a few:
- Tick off the items that each child or team has found, and award a prize to the child/team who found the most objects;
- Allow each child to keep all the treasures they've found. Place them in their party bags ready to take home.
- Get the kids to place all the treasures in a big tub, then you divide them evenly into everyone's party bags. This can be a good option for little children. Have a few spare treasures on hand, and enlist the help of a parent for this time-consuming activity, or do it while the kids are otherwise occupied (such as while they're eating).
For all the preparation, I find kids can be incredibly quick at finding their treasures. Expect the hunt to last around 10 minutes. Checking and dividing the treasures, and possibly playing with them, will string this out longer.
Happy treasure hunting!

The Yankees had a feel-good year. They won 91 games, advanced to Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, and have a team that should be a factor for years to come.
I was surprised to hear last Thursday that the Yankees decided to part ways with longtime manager Joe Girardi.
Despite what his critics say, Girardi distinguished himself on the job for ten years.
In his tenure as Yankees manager, there is not one season where you can make the case that Joe Girardi did not get the most out of his talent.
He appeared in the postseason six of his ten years at the helm, and won the 2009 World Series.
He dealt with aging players on the decline and controversy, and ushered in this new era of Yankee baseball.
There's no debating whether or not Joe Girardi as manager can get you to the top of the mountain, because he's already proven he's capable.
I understand the argument that being in charge of a team for ten years is simply too long.
That said, did anyone get the sense in 2017 that Joe Girardi's message was growing stale to this young group of New York Yankees?
The Yankees had an over/under win around 82, and were not expected to be a legitimate contender.
I don't want to hear about player concerns or the challenge that wasn't in Game 2 of the ALDS; the team rallied and played for this manager.
With the way the 2017 season played out, it is a rather peculiar time for the organization to make a managerial change.
So why exactly are the Yankees deciding to go in a different direction?
It's a million-dollar question that will have much more clarity once the World Series comes to an end.
I don't get the sense the Yankees decided the minute the season ended that they were going to move on from Joe Girardi.
I get the sense this was a decision that was in the works for quite a while.
There are reports that there was a fracture in the relationship between Girardi and general manager Brian Cashman.
In this day and age where the front office holds more power than ever before, a power struggle with the front office was going to be an unwinnable battle for Girardi.
The Yankees want a manager who is going to be in lock-step with the front office, and they want the next guy to be somebody they can mold.
The front office can say whatever they want, but they want to have an active role in running the day-to-day operations of the team, from writing lineups to aligning pitching rotations and beyond.
The days of the larger-than-life figure running a baseball team in the dugout are long gone.
In the coming days, the Yankees will try and sell you on hiring a manager who has the soothing presence of being able to work with the younger players and has the ability to connect with the front office.
It's possible they find that guy. In fact, if I was writing this column in 1995, I would've criticized the idea of firing Buck Showalter for the unproven Joe Torre.
One can only hope that the next managerial hire can be as successful as the move to bring in Torre 21 years ago.
However, I hope the next Yankee manager will be as good at his job as Joe Girardi, because for ten years, the Yankees had a damn good one.
Let the search begin.

5 honey-do list ideas for Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and it's time to show your significant other how much you care. While flowers, chocolates and other traditional gifts are nice, why not take a few hours to make improvements around the home? Not only is this something your significant other will appreciate, it will benefit both of you, and can increase the value of your home.
Updating your landscape adds instant curb appeal to your home. If there are patchy areas in your lawn, spend a weekend replacing areas of weeds and dead grass with fresh new sod. If you're short on time, mowing the lawn, trimming bushes and sweeping the steps costs nothing and takes less than an hour.
You don't have to replace everything to make your kitchen look brand new. Give your walls, ceiling and even cabinets a DIY paint job. If you want to spend a bit more cash, replace cabinet pulls with new ones and install a backsplash. To showcase the kitchen's new look, add a spotlight light feature. There are plenty of options at Home Depot, Target and Ikea.
If your kitchen has wood floors, you can also patch them up if they are starting to look outdated. Give them a quick update by filling in the gaps with rope. Use a painter's tool or putty knife to scrape debris from flooring planks, then vacuum the floor to clean off the dust and debris. If you'd like, tint the rope with wood stains to match the floor and let dry. Then, force the rope into gaps between planks with your knife or painter's tool.
Closet Space
Start your spring cleaning early and organize your closet. Start by getting rid of clothing, accessories and shoes you and your significant other no longer use (with their permission of course). Then add hanging shelf units to get extra items off the floor. Add-ons such as belt and accessory hangers, see through shoe boxes, and shower curtain rings for scarves are inexpensive and control excess clutter. If you have extra space, put small items in baskets for storage and decoration.
Garages are often the messiest part of homes, so it never hurts to give it a good clean-up. Make more room for storage by simply weeding out things you don't need. Throw away or donate items you don't use. Then, make a plan for your garage, just like you would for any room in the house. Take measurements and draw a floor plan to help visualize.
Once you've created a floorplan and weeded out junk, categorize your items. Place items you'll use often near the door, then map out space for seasonal equipment, such as lawn mowers or snow blowers. Get large seasonal items, such as kayaks and bikes, off the floor. Hoist pulley systems are a great option for this. Lastly, make sure everything is off the floor and place items in containers to conserve space, and designate a space for hazardous materials, such as paint or fertilizers.
Bathroom Updates
You don't have to pay big bucks for a full bathroom model to completely change the space. Replace dated wallpaper with a faux or textured finish, replace old lighting to brighten up the room, and if your faucet is leaky, repair it following this step-by-step guide.
Not only are these projects unique for Valentine's Day, having an organized and renovated home will make you and your significant other's lives so much easier.

Egan Company is an approximately 800-person, 68-year old manufacturing and construction company in Minnesota. Egan's large projects include work on the Central Corridor Light Rail, connecting St. Paul and Minneapolis downtowns, the biggest construction project in the history of the state.
What Egan Company Wanted
About a year ago, Egan CIO Jim Nonn was looking for a solution to provide his organization with technology to help connect job sites with the company's main office, as well as with the tools and parts at warehouses and his executive team members.
Jim explored his options and heard more negatives than positives about Microsoft Windows laptops, which seemed too slow, expensive, quickly outdated and liable to malfunction and need replacement when used in the field.
"I've heard stories from other construction firms that Monday mornings were like the movie Groundhog Day," said Jim, "With the IT team tackling the same four-foot high stack of malware-infected laptops over and over while work ground to a halt. I didn't want to experience that."
After surveying the market, Jim decided to move Egan's 140-person foreman staff to Chromebooks. His hope was that the lightweight, easy and instant on and off devices would provide quick access to the business apps that the Egan team uses everyday. He sought a reseller that could help facilitate the transaction and ease the transition, and approached Agosto.
"Agosto helped us source the Chromebooks and eased our transition to the technology. I couldn't be happier."
"Chromebooks also integrate well with Google Apps," said Jim, "Which we use to run our business in the field. Our workers love Chromebooks because they aren't afraid to use them on the job. If one does get damaged, we can swap it out for another one in a matter of minutes, with zero time wasted or data lost. Also, we've saved so much in moving forward with Chromebooks instead of Windows laptops – about $200 per machine."
Rolling out Chromebooks to Egan's staff was extremely easy. With just two people and an intern in the IT support department, Jim asked his intern to manage the deployment process. "I figured he'd only get so far, then my IT guys would have to jump in," said Jim, "But he did it all on his own. If I would have rolled out the same number of Windows laptops, I would have had to hire additional staff just to manage that. And with Chromebooks, we haven't been plagued with ongoing support requests."
Working with Chromebooks in the world of manufacturing and construction means that some days are rougher than others on the equipment. "It's no big deal, though," said Jim. "When one of these gets run over or destroyed, no work is lost and it's as simple as replacing a phone formy staff."
The enormous scale of the light rail project really brings to light how valuable the Chromebooks have become to Egan's organization, too. "At Egan, we take pride in the fact that we're building something that so many Minnesotans will use," said Jim. "The light rail will bring people together that didn't have an easy way to connect previously. I like to think Chromebooks have done the same for Egan."

How many miles must a rover traverse to break a solar-system record? Apparently, just 25.01 miles.
The Mars rover Opportunity broke the record for the longest distance traveled off-Earth on Sunday with a 157-foot jaunt along the western rim of Endeavour Crater, National Aeronautic and Space Administration officials said Monday.
Earth-bound travelers accustomed to driving farther than that on a daily basis might not be overly impressed, but breaking the 25-mile mark on the odometer is a major feat for Opportunity.
"This is so remarkable considering Opportunity was intended to drive about one kilometer [less than a mile] and was never designed for distance," John Callas, project manager for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission, said in a statement Monday. "But what is really important is not how many miles the rover has racked up, but how much exploration and discovery we have accomplished over that distance."
Opportunity and its twin vehicle, Spirit, landed on Mars in 2004 with the express mission of exploring the environment for evidence that the red planet might have once had enough water to host life. The 384-pound rovers were equipped with the same set of scientific instruments designed to analyze the planet's geology.
Spirit's communications systems petered out in 2010 with about 4.8 miles on the odometer. The rover Curiosity, which landed on Mars in 2012, has just 5.3 miles or so under its belt to date.
Opportunity's travels this month shattered – well, nudged anyway – the previous off-Earth distance record, which was set by the Soviet Union's Lunokhod 2 rover in 1973. The Lunokhod 2 rover racked up 24.2 miles on the moon in less than five months. In a nod to that mission, NASA's rover team named a crater on the outer slope of Endeavour's rim Lunokhod 2.
The rover team has set its sights on 26.2 miles for Opportunity's next milestone, and it has dubbed the terrain it expects the rover to explore at that point "Marathon Valley."
NASA hopes to send a human mission to Mars in the 2030s. If that day ever comes, NASA will need to find a way to safely land payloads much larger than before. That's a complicated task given the red planet's ultrathin atmosphere and minimal surface gravity. Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., have been working on a massive inflatable parachute that resembles a flying saucer to help deliver larger pieces of equipment. Project managers successfully tested the parachute off the coast of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands on June 28.

10 Web Design and Layout Principles Every Designer Should Know
I recently gave a presentation at the South Florida User Experience Meetup on the top 10 web design and layout principles you should know when designing your website. Below is a summary as well as the presentation with some screen shot examples for those who could not attend.
1. Visual Call to Action
Get your visitors attention on your website's goal.
- One primary action you want your visitors to take.
- Use contrast and size to catch attention.
- The action text should be clear and obvious.
- Located near the top of pageabove the fold.
2. Organized Layout
Importance based structure and scan-ability.
- Convey information about what's important.
- Lead the user into content there looking for.
- Improves scan-ability.
- Use header tags (h1, h2, h3, etc…) appropriately.
- Provides visual breaks, groups, and chunks.
- Use alignment, date, subject, etc to create sections.
- Size and color to convey priority and importance.
3. Accessibility
508 Compliance = websites should work for everyone, that includes people with disabilities.
- Use ALT tags on images for screen readers
- Ensure HTML is ordered by hierarchy.
- Improve readability for those with low-vision through size and contrast
- Options to increase font size
- Avoid pop-ups
- Use proper input-field/labeling
- Don't use color as a sole indicator for differentiation
- Design for smaller screen sizes, then scale.
4. Affordances
Indicate where you can take an action.
- Links should not be the same color as your text
- Buttons should appear beveled or have a hover to differentiate them from plain graphics.
- Form items should be grayed out if they are not clickable.
- Mouse icon should change to indicate when something is clickable.
- Textures and patterns can imply grips when things can be dragged.
5. Assistance
Don't leave me hanging, give me some help.
- Provide an FAQ or help section
- Try to avoid allowing errors, but when they occur explain:
- What's wrong
- What you need from the user
- How they need to do it
- Instructions should be clear, specific and to the point.
- Provide good defaults and constant feedback.
6. Real-World Mental Model
We throw things away in the trash, we do not re-allocate disk space.
- Avoid fancy, industry, or techie terms. Use Layman's terms.
- When you buy things in a store you put them in a cart, use a "cart" icon to represent selected items for purchase.
- Design concepts to be consistent with how they work in everyday life.
- Similar in functionality, language and appearance.
7. Keep it Simple
The simplest explanation or strategy tends to be the best one –Occam's Razor
- 80/20 Rule
- Avoid excessive text or explanation
- Forms shouldn't ask for unnecessary\additional information.
- Reduce clutter, and appreciate white space like a pause in a sentence.
- Be upfront, clear, and to the point. The rest is unnecessary.
- Focus on the core goals and tasks.
8. Suitable Graphics
We tend to look at smiling faces, and products. Our eyes seem to jump over the rest resulting in just more stuff on the page we have to get past.
- Put thought into your graphics.
- Stick to a color scheme.
- Avoid overly generic clip art just to add to the page.
- Every image and graphic should have a specific purpose.
- Stick to a themeor consistency in appearance. (all sketchy, or all photos etc)
- Focus on your product or offering.
9. Navigation
Where am I? Where can I go?
- Take advantage of standards, and place the navigation near the top, or down the left side.
- Clean, clear, simple labels, easy to read and see.
- Highlight the visitors current location vs. other locations.
- Provide feedback when in sub-levels as to the visitors location and how to get back.
- Should be easy to see how much information the site offers, how deep each level is.
10. Delight
There's just something fun about this.
- Once you have everything else figured out, add a smile.
- Niceties that are un-expected, a cute line of text, a compliment when a photo is uploaded, etc.
- Little fun interactions used sparingly.
- Take the user away from the mundane.
- Pleasant surprises.

Barriers associated with doctors' referral to dietitians in Gauteng, South Africa
Thesis (MNutr (Human Nutrition))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006.
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to explore the barriers that doctors experience to referring patients to dietitians. The study sample (n = 700) included a selection of all practicing medical doctors and specialists in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Registration with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) was a prerequisite. METHOD: This was a quantitative study using a validated questionnaire e-mailed to participating doctors in order to determine factors affecting their referral practices. The first part of the questionnaire consisted of demographic and general information about the respondent and the second and third parts consisted of a series of closed-ended questions that related to specific issues of nutrition information and dietitian referral practices respectively. The questionnaire comprised a total of 21 questions. Subjects were sent the questionnaire by e-mail and given four weeks to respond. Three reminder e-mails were sent to encourage participation. Statistical analysis methods included: Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson Chi-square, likelihood ratios, linear-by-linear associations, as well as Goodman and Kruskal tau tests. RESULTS: Of the questionnaires sent out, 134 (19%) out of 700 were finally useable. Doctors who had a nutrition component in their training referred patients to dietitians more often than those who did not and older doctors referred to a dietitian less often (Chi-square tests, p < 0.05). A correlation was observed between the duration of medical practice and frequency of referral (p = 0.03) while gender had no influence on referral practice. A correlation (p < 0.001) was also found between frequency of referral and university of study with symmetric measures. Hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus and obesity were identified as the conditions doctors would most likely refer to a dietitian. For 45% of the doctors insufficient time during consultation was the strongest barrier to providing nutrition councelling to their patients. The barrier identified most commonly was that doctors were unaware of dietitians in the vicinity of their practices (49%). Sixty four percent of doctors believed that better marketing by dietitians would increase their referrals, and 21.4% believed that the title 'nutritionist' or 'nutrition specialist' would be more suitable for the profession of dietetics. CONCLUSION: The findings of the study indicate that a number of factors contribute to the barriers that doctors experience to referring patients to dietitians. Although the study was limited by a small sample, it nevertheless draws attention to the responsibility of both dietitians and doctors to work together toward providing patients with a more efficient team approach treatment and care system. More qualitative studies are needed to explore the identified barriers further, especially within the South African context, as well as to establish appropriate recommendations to overcome the barriers to referral.

Nigerian Women Are The Most Unfaithful In The World - Condom Manufacturers, DUREX Reveals
Facts don't lie. Without the intention of wrecking marriages or relationships, if you are a man and you have a wife or you are in a serious relationship, then it is very paramount you read this article.
And here's why…
According to a recent study by condom manufacturer Durex; 29,000 people in 36 countries were interviewed on their likelihood to cheat of their partners, Nigerian Women were considered to be the most unfaithful in the world! As a Nigerian, you might dismiss this survey as untrue on religious and cultural basis; however, Durex may not be far from the truth actually.
To tell the truth, the unfortunate day I discovered that my wife was cheating, I wasn't prepared for it. In fact, I had not suspected her once since we got married five years ago. I mean I TRIED to satisfy her as a man the best way I can, the sex wasn't bad (at least not to me…I ASSUMED); although I was battling with some SEXUAL ISSUES, however, she always told me that there was no problem that she loves me regardless of my sexual weaknesses. She promised me that we were going to find a solution to it together.
I am an author and a successful one at that. The day my entire world crumbled before my eyes was the day I came back home 5 hours earlier than normal because I forgot a very important office document. To my dismay and utter betrayal, I saw my beloved and 'faithful' wife being banged and spread wide from side to side by another man who seemed to be in total control of the game. My wife was screaming, moaning, and enjoying herself in ways I had never seen her before.
Suddenly, warm tears involuntarily started to drop down my cheek because she was not just the mother of my little children, but she was also my lover and best friend (at least that was what I thought). They were totally into each other, very unaware of my presence in the room. I sat by the corner of the room almost losing my breath like an asthmatic patient. My first impulse was to pick a knife off the kitchen cabinet. I almost did. If I had done that, chances were that I would have committed murder that day and my entire family and bright career would have been brought to shambles.
I decided to kill that thought of murder, and at least see the face of the person who is rough handling my wife. Then I saw his face, it wasn't my boss, or neighbour, or best friend. It was hers. The guy who had always been there. They were very close friends before I met her. They were still friends even while we dated. When we were getting married, she asked me to make him one of my groomsmen.
They had been friends ever since. At first I was uncomfortable with how close they were. However, she told me he was like a brother to her. Then he got a girlfriend, who he eventually married and I never saw him in that light again – a threat. Until that unfortunate moment of course, when stark reality stared me in the face like a one-eyed monster…
It was at that moment that the eternal words from my grandmother resounded in my head: Alatise lo moatisearare (meaning, it is only you who can fix your own problems not someone else).
Here are eight (8) STAGGERING STATISTICS about how negligence of YOUR sexual activeness can destroy your home, happiness, and life.
1. 39% of Nigerian women are currently cheating on their husbands due to lack of attention and of course the INABILITY of the MAN to perform is MATRIMONIAL DUTIES.
2. 24% of Nigerian women are tending towards depression and extra-marital affairs due to SEXUAL STARVATION or BAD SEX LIFE. There is a 65% chance that they will cheat on their husbands in a matter of weeks.
3. 77% of Nigerian men actually believe that they are great in bed…A Sex god! Very funny. However, studies show that only about 21% are actually good at knocking the hell out of their partner's P*SS*Y; the remaining 56% are living in delusion because when they bang their wives, they hear her moan.
4. 55% of women moan not because they are enjoying the sex, but because they don't want to bruise the ego of their partner. So they just keep deceiving the men.
5. 45% of divorce cases in Nigeria are as a result of the man not being able and willing to SERVICE HIS WIFE CONSTANTLY, and in ONE CORNER…EVERY CORNER.
6. Every woman wants the PRINCE & the GANGSTAR. Be her Prince by showing care and providing for her and the family; Be Her Gangstar by firing her Everyday, Everytime, and in Everyway…UNTIL SHE SCREAMS!
7. There is a 75% chance that even a faithful woman will cheat on her husband at least 5 times in her life time if HE consistently UNDER-PERFORMS in the "OTHER ROOM".
8. Finally, there is a 69% chance that the person your wife might be cheating on you with is very close to you. Women most times cheat not with a total stranger, but with a man that is known and familiar with both of you.
Stop living in delusion guys, this is real.

Published on 14 May 2019
Councillors have proposed to end the annual transfer of mine rates onto residents after considering draft budget items at an Extraordinary Meeting of the Council tonight.
Council had previously been transferring 1% of mine rates onto the residential sector in an effort to end the city's reliance on mine rates, better align rates with the mines' actual land use, and safeguard residents against a sudden rates spike if the mines were to close.
However the positive outlook of the mining industry combined with the likelihood of mining operations continuing until 2030 has seen Council decide to end the rates transfer.
Mayor Darriea Turley said although the logic behind the rates transfer remained sound, the current Council believes the city is currently in a position where the transfer can be halted.
"Mines currently pay 14% of the city's rates, and the long term plan was to get that figure down to 10% which we understand," she said.
"However given the security around the mines at present we don't see the need to continue the rates transfer.
"The situation with the mines may change in coming years and a future Council may see the need to reinstate the process, but this Council is comfortable ending the transfer for the remainder of its term."
In other budget matters, Councillors again only increased rates by the rate peg limit of 2.7% as set by the Minister for Local Government.
Councillors also opted to rationalise assets across the city rather than increase rates above the rate peg to cover rising costs around their maintenance.
Council posted a budget deficit of $1.78 million in the 2018/2019 financial year, and is budgeting for a deficit of $1.48 million in 2019/20.
"We already know we can't afford to maintain the assets we currently have, so we need to undertake a thorough review process and ensure Council's assets are commensurate with the city's population and needs," said Mayor Turley.
"We would rather continue with an audit of our buildings, ovals, parks and other assets, and look at what we can rationalise rather than hit ratepayers with an extra cost."
Broken Hill remains one of very few Councils in NSW that has not increased rates above the rate peg in the last decade.

This activity was developed by NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) team as an introductory experience to a series of lessons about water resources on Earth.
In Part A of this lab, students will examine a variety of images and maps of the whole Earth in order to identify the major components of the Earth system at a global scale.
NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.
Whether naturally occurring or set by humans, fires' effects reach far beyond ravaged lands. Combining satellite observations of fires with a computer model reveals the fires also affect air quality, health, and climate.
The activities in this guide will help students understand variations in environmental parameters by examining connections among different phenomena measured on local, regional and global scales.
Software engineers play an important role at NASA as this field supports the success of our missions on Earth and beyond. This field will continue to grow as it helps NASA address the many challenges that our agency faces.

Childers rejects plans to grant seven year licence for glyphosate
Nessa Childers, MEP for Dublin, strongly rejected a proposal for an almost decade-long renewal of glyphosate, the world's most used herbicide, pending a proper review of all available science on the risks to human health.
Speaking from Strasbourg this afternoon, where European parliamentarians queried the European executive on its renewal plans, Ms. Childers said:
"Scientific uncertainty on the safety of glyphosate has been compounded with scandal after the revelation in the Monsanto Papers that the giant agri-chemical manufacturer paid supposedly independent scientists to let it ghost-right scientific research, among other improprieties.
"The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a specialised body of the World Health Organisation, has classified glyphosate as a 'possible human carcinogen'.
"Other concerns exist with regard to this herbicide's hormone-disrupting and genotoxic risks, not to mention that this substance is often used in combination with other chemicals, with unknown effects to human health.
"However, the EU agencies in charge have deemed glyphosate safe, in contrast with IARC, having relied both wittingly and unwittingly, on industry-sponsored research, some of it through fraudulent expedients.
"It is not enough for the European Chemicals Agency and the European Food Safety Agency to say that the discovery of Monsanto's manipulation does not change their conclusions, in light of all the information available to them.
"The fact is, these revelations only add to the need for more transparency, rigour and accountability in the way these agencies conduct their work, so as to safeguard the credibility of scientific input to our policy decisions.
"It is clear by now that we need to conduct a proper enquiry into this matter and get more answers on the process and substance of decision making on glyphosate before we grant it seven more years of free reign on our environment."
"I have the utmost respect for our Health Commissioner, Mr. Andriukaitis, and I hope we will persuade him to take a better look at a wider range of sources on this matter before rounding it up for seven years more, as if there were no tomorrow for agriculture without glyphosate."
"There is one, and we have wasted enough time without a plan to wean ourselves of harsh herbicides."
