As you are constructing some lovely spreadsheets to spell out the undertaking, the project itself will fall apart. It isn't rare to discover people utilizing a myriad of spreadsheets to tell the exact same story in a mutual project. Sprint project tracker spreadsheets usually list the start date, finish date and length of every job, for example, proportion of work which has been completed.
Men and women have a tendency to use the things that they know, so naturally Excel can be considered the fast and dirty decision to manage a project. Excel has a choice of pre-installed templates.Excel For Project Management, due to its grid nature stipulates a good way to prepare and manage project plans.
When you start up Excel, the very first window you see will include a search field for internet templates. Excel is a great tool. This is where it becomes a bit more complicated. Since it is a very common software and most managers know how to use it, using excel to prepare and maintain gantt charts can be very productive and easy. It is useful for starting projects and developing a breakdown of tasks (sometimes called a Work Breakdown Structure). It has no way of showing these dependencies. Microsoft Excel will be able to help you with so much of that!
After you're good with templates, you may want to take into account extra instruments and solutions. The template was created for use in the Excel desktop program, so you may ignore the message about unsupported characteristics in the browser. The fastest approach to finding the type of template you will need is searching for it. On the downside, you might discover that the ideal template is unavailable in Excel. This project templates are largely associated with project scheduling.
Well, various kinds of projects need various processes and tools, and when you're setting out to begin a project, you would like to use the best tools for you as well as your undertaking. Before you begin a project, outline the tasks it requires to finish the job. Every elaborate project is made of multiple components. Based on your project's complexity, you will decide how best to manage your undertaking. If you've started a project in Excel, you can choose to go all of the way and handle the whole project in Excel. Growing a company whilst managing projects with Excel will begin to become really challenging. Collaboration is simple, since everyone has Excel and is acquainted with the computer software.
On your project, it is possible to either designate a task manager to control all task updates, or you may share some or all your plan on the internet to ask your team to update their tasks since they complete them. Project Management is among my favourite topics. It can mean different things to different people, depending on their needs. It's intended to assist with project administration. To begin with, let's explore what project management is to realize different ways people are able to manage projects to help you discover the proper way to manage yours. Excel project management is typically done in a company or meeting setup.


In the 2014/15 edition of Global Standards and Publications (free downloadable PDF, or hard copy) Van Haren Publishers combines an overview of popular IT standards and relevant publications. I won the paper booklet at the Best Practices User Group (BPUG) Netherlands 2015 Seminar tombola. In alpabetical order you'll get an introduction to the standards in IT & IT management (e.g. Agile, COBIT, ITIL, Lean IT and e-CF), Project Management (e.g. MSP, PMBOK Guide, PRINCE2, MoP, M_o_R, and P3M3), Enterprise Architecture (Archimate and TOGAF), plus Business Management (e.g. Balanced Scorecard, BiSL, Six Sigma, and ISO 9000/9001. For each standard you'll get the basics, a summary, the target audience, scope and constraints and a relevant website.
Separated from this content, a second part highlights the Van Haren publications for these standards. A clever way to enable quick updates.

The top 10 films of 2020
2020 may be a year Hollywood would like to forget, but filmmakers found a way to break through with moving pictures that spoke to the moment.
From deaf drummers to wolfwalkers, filmmakers responded to 2020 with artful, urgent stories
Eli Glasner · CBC News · Posted: Dec 24, 2020 7:01 AM ET | Last Updated: December 25, 2020
Here are the ten best movies of 2020
Eli Glasner looks back at the best from the world of film in a year where movie magic mostly happened at home in front of the small screen thanks to a global pandemic. 5:04
In a normal year, my favourite films would be an eclectic mix of blockbusters and indie darlings, perhaps a few Oscar contenders sprinkled in for good measure.
But in 2020, most blockbusters went bust, theatres closed and the year turned into a marathon of streaming premieres, virtual press conferences and battling with your family's Wi-Fi to view the latest release.
Yet through the pandemonium of the pandemic, filmmakers found a way to speak to the moment. Watching from my couch, I found succour in shape-shifting wolf maidens, deaf drummers, wandering spirits and Indigenous samurai warriors.
Here are the best films of 2020, which helped me make it through the year we'd like to forget.
#10 Birds of Prey
I know, January seems like a century ago. But let's not forget what a revelation Harley Quinn's wild ride of a film was. With director Cathy Yan behind the camera, Margot Robbie delivered a looney-toons romp worthy of Daffy Duck himself. Come for Rosie Perez's simmering scowl and stay for the delightfully depraved Ewan McGregor as the villainous Roman. (On Video on Demand)
#9 Blood Quantum
The pandemic may have stopped Canadian Mi'kmaq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby from opening his zombie film in theatres, but COVID-19 just made this squeamish survival story stronger. Barnaby says he wants to do sci-fi next. I can't wait. (On Video on Demand)
https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/blood-quantum-film-online-release-1.5546743
#8 The Painter and the Thief
The Painter and the Thief is a documentary that dares you to imagine what's next and then constantly surprises you. It begins with a painter who tracks down the thief in Oslo, Norway, who stole her work. What follows is a lesson in allowing your subject to reveal themselves. (On Video on Demand)
#7 Minari
In a struggling vegetable farm in Arkansas, Minari plants the seeds of a Korean immigrant family buying into the American dream. What follows is an epic tale of strife and sacrifice in the grand American tradition, and a film that asks: Why doesn't everyone use Steven Yeun? (Coming to Canada in early 2021)
#6 Palm Springs
If you feel like every day is bleeding into the next, why not spend it with Andy Samberg, stuck in a wedding party that never ends? It's great to see Samberg go deeper, but the real revelation is Cristin Milioti as the wide-eyed woman determined to leave the loop. (On Amazon Prime Video)
#5 Nomadland
Nomadland is a film about listening and looking. It's about the observant eye of director Chloé Zhao, and using Frances McDormand as a sounding board. McDormand plays Fern, a widow who joins a modern-day tribe of nomads who've left the rat race behind. This is a film with characters as distinctive as the striking landscape that frames them. (Coming to Canada in early 2021)
What worked and what wowed at the mostly virtual TIFF 2020 film fest
#4 Wolfwalkers
Cartoon Saloon is an Irish animation studio with a distinctive brand of imaginative fantasy films, such as The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea. Wolfwalkers continues the winning streak with a wild and woolly tale about having empathy for your enemies. The wonderfully chaotic art style complements the furry friendship as it evolves. (On Apple TV+)
#3 Sound of Metal
Sound of Metal isn't just the best thing Riz Ahmed has ever done, it's a master class in the benefits of inclusion. Working with a cast of mainly deaf actors, Ahmed gives us the story of someone who loses his hearing but gains so much more. (On Video on Demand)
Deaf community members see Riz Ahmed's role in Sound of Metal as Hollywood milestone
#2 Dick Johnson Is Dead
Director Kirsten Johnson was worried she was losing her father. So she killed him. Well, she staged his death on camera. Repeatedly. This is a documentary about dementia and memory, loss and love. It's about celebrating who we have while we have them. Absurd and surprisingly wonderful. (On Netflix)
#1 Mangrove
You may have heard about the Chicago 7, but how about the Mangrove 9? Mangrove is the film about the real-life case of community members charged with inciting a riot after marching to defend a West Indian restaurant in London from persistent police attacks. It's also the first instalment in the five-part Small Axe series from Widows director Steve McQueen, which explores the Black experience in Britain.
Some of my critical brethren are spending time debating whether Small Axe is TV or film. But this year, I'm inclined to bend the rules. Some see this as television, but this two-hour instalment, culminating in a courtroom showdown, is cinema in its most pure and urgent form.
In Mangrove, we watch citizens finding their voice and standing against the police and the justice system. The place and time, the community and the accents are incredibly specific. But the idea of speaking truth to power is universal and undeniable. (On Amazon Prime Video)

Q: Printing a Form/UserControl in C# My Program: Contains a form with few textboxes and one button. 'Default Printer' is set as Adobe PDF on my computer.
My Goal: Want to take a screenshot of a form/usercontrol when the user clicks 'Print' button. The screenshot is then saved on the desktop in .pdf format.
My Problem: I have following two problems with the code:

*

*Size of Screenshot: The size of the screenshot is too big and it does not fit the size of the page (default page size) when printed/converted to .pdf. Please refer the two images below. I want the entire screenshot to fit inside the page.

*Asks twice where to convert and save: When I click on 'Print Form' button, programs asks me TWICE where to print/convert and save the file. I want the program to ask me only Once, where to print and save the file.

Problem 1: The screenshot captured by the program does not fit the page when printed.

I want the screenshot image to fit like this on one page of .pdf:

Code:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        button1.Text = "Print Form";
        button1.Click += new EventHandler(button1_Click);
        printDocument1.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printDocument1_PrintPage);
        this.Controls.Add(button1);
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CaptureScreen();
        printDocument1.Print();
    }

    Bitmap memoryImage;

    private void CaptureScreen()
    {
        Graphics myGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
        Size s = this.Size;
        memoryImage = new Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height, myGraphics);
        Graphics memoryGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(memoryImage);
        memoryGraphics.CopyFromScreen(this.Location.X, this.Location.Y, 0, 0, s);
    }

    private void printDocument1_PrintPage(System.Object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(memoryImage, 0, 0);
    }
}

Thanks for your help in advance. I am a newbie, learning c# language and your help will be much appreciated. :)

A: Ok, check this out, and the modified printDocument1_PrintPage in particular:
        private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
        {
            // calculate width and height scalings taking page margins into account
            var wScale = e.MarginBounds.Width / (float)_memoryImage.Width;
            var hScale = e.MarginBounds.Height / (float)_memoryImage.Height;

            // choose the smaller of the two scales
            var scale = wScale < hScale ? wScale : hScale;

            // apply scaling to the image
            e.Graphics.ScaleTransform(scale, scale);

            // print to default printer's page
            e.Graphics.DrawImage(_memoryImage, 0, 0);
        }

I moved all the event wireup into InitializeComponent where it's usually supposed to go but it's more involved code:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace testScreenCapScale

        {
            CaptureScreen();
            printDocument1.Print();
        }

        private Bitmap _memoryImage;

        private void CaptureScreen()
        {
            // put into using construct because Graphics objects do not
            //  get automatically disposed when leaving method scope
            using (var myGraphics = CreateGraphics())
            {
                var s = Size;
                _memoryImage = new Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height, myGraphics);
                using (var memoryGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(_memoryImage))
                {
                    memoryGraphics.CopyFromScreen(Location.X, Location.Y, 0, 0, s);
                }
            }
        }

            var wScale = e.MarginBounds.Width / (float)_memoryImage.Width;
            var hScale = e.MarginBounds.Height / (float)_memoryImage.Height;

            // choose the smaller of the two scales
            var scale = wScale < hScale ? wScale : hScale;

Rohingya Refugees Brace for a New Deadly Threat—Coronavirus
Two men look out over a Rohingya refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh on Aug. 24, 2019.
Allison Joyce— Getty Images
By Mayyu Ali
April 3, 2020 5:47 AM EDT
Mayyu Ali is the author of EXODUS: Between Genocide and Me. He has written for CNN, the Financial Times, The Independent, Al Jazeera, Asia Times and Dhaka Tribune.
In the largest refugee settlement on earth we are holding our breath.
On March 24, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh confirmed a COVID-19 case. It's now just a matter of time before the outbreak reaches the nearby camps, where hundreds of thousands of Rohinyga refugees like myself are living.
Having already endured a brutal military crackdown and displacement from our homes in Myanmar, we now face the prospect of further, protracted devastation.
A vaccine does not yet exist and could take a year or more to become available, meaning that the scourge of COVID-19 could circulate in the bustling confines of the camps for months.
Social distancing, self-isolation and quarantine are fantasies for Rohingya refugees like me. My family of seven lives inside a 5-meter (16-foot) tarpaulin structure. Such flimsy shelters are the norm in the camps here, which have an average density of more than 100,000 people per square mile.
What makes matters worse is that we rely on aid for survival. People here do not have access to income, and so cannot afford the most basic materials needed to prevent the spread of coronavirus, such as face masks and soap. In the camps, dozens of people share a hand-pump and toilet. Hygiene is a luxury.
Bangladesh, which has recorded 56 cases of the virus and six deaths throughout the country, has imposed a lockdown on Cox's Bazar, including on the camps.
Rumors are spreading and panic is growing. One night last week, my camp was alive with noise and anxiety. Prayers were chanted at midnight as the Imams and people sought God's protection.
The coronavirus has overwhelmed the well-equipped health systems of wealthy Western and Asian countries. Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world, has no chance of mounting a better response to an outbreak among the 860,000 Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar.
Local health experts say there are no ventilators in Cox's Bazar and no capacity for intensive medical care in the camps. While the government of Bangladesh has said that the Rohingya will be given access to government medical facilities if needed, it is unclear what criteria will be used to qualify for this access, or how patients will be transported or quarantined.
Should someone fall ill with symptoms of the coronavirus, it's unclear where we can even take the patient. There appears to be no place that has arranged testing within the camps.
Keep up to date on the growing threat to global health by signing up for our daily coronavirus newsletter.
Cox's Bazar-based aid agencies are doing what they can to prevent or delay an outbreak in the camps. But many facilities and services have been temporarily closed. Medical charities that run clinics inside camps are short on equipment. It is clear they will be quickly overwhelmed when the virus hits.
What makes matters even worse is that last year the government cut off the internet and confiscated sim cards in the camps. To protect ourselves amid this pandemic, we need access to news and health websites. We need to be able to share information with friends and family via social media. Yet we are deprived of even this small lifeline.
Human Rights Watch has been urging Bangladesh to lift the internet shutdown, "which is obstructing crucial information about symptoms and prevention, or end up risking the lives of refugees, host communities, and healthcare workers."
The telecommunications restrictions mean that many Rohingya refugees cannot even call the helpline that has been set up by the government.
Our situation is already desperate. And that is before the virus sweeps through the camps.
I am mindful of the suffering that may await not only us, but all of the communities of displaced or vulnerable people, including those in Venezuela, South Sudan, Yemen and Syria.
All of us are sitting ducks and utterly dependent on outside help for survival. The international community can make a huge difference to our lives by providing whatever they can to help us at least face this crisis with dignity. We need healthcare, hygiene facilities, testing kits and medicine. We need Bangladesh to lift the telecommunications blackout.
The Rohingya spirit is strong; we have overcome so much. We will continue to fight for our rights in Myanmar and in Bangladesh. But for now, we are once again faced with a battle for survival itself. We implore the world to listen to our cries for help.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – As the COVID-19 pandemic brought the nation to a standstill in March, a team of U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center munitions experts continued creating the plans and execution portion for the removal of "munitions and explosives of concern," or MEC, on 1,277 acres located entirely inside Croft State Park near Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Work to clean up former Camp Croft, a Formerly Used Defense Site, began following the April 1 contract between U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District, and a joint venture of Weston Solutions, Inc., of Peachtree Corners, Georgia, and Zapata Inc., of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Huntsville Center's Ordnance and Explosives Military Munitions Design Center manages and executes many of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Military Munitions Response Program projects for Formerly Used Defense Site and Base Realignment and Closure sites.
For the Camp Croft project, the Huntsville Center team wrote the performance work statement, issued the project request for proposal and managed the pre-award contractor site visit.
Huntsville Center's Military Munitions Design Center has a unique technical capability in a very specialized subject area that is critical to other Corps of Engineers commands, said Drew Thompson, MMCX project manager for Croft site.
"We partner with local USACE districts, regulatory agencies, interested citizens and other stakeholders, to develop plans to oversee the execution of munitions removal."
On the Camp Croft project, the Huntsville Center team is partnering closely with Savannah District, the Corps' geographic district serving as the regional FUDS program manager.
The $36.5 million award includes a geophysical survey and removal of MEC inside Croft State Park, located on land used by the Army during World War II as a basic training center.
During its wartime use, the Army established live-fire ranges, impact areas for artillery, and trained soldiers to use small arms, anti-tank rockets, anti-aircraft artillery, and mortars at Camp Croft.
Following deactivation of the base in 1945, the federal government sold 7,000 of its 19,000 acres to the state of South Carolina for use as a park, which opened in 1949.
What makes the Camp Croft site notable is the FUDS remediation work is completed in close coordination with the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism as well as the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Thompson said one of the challenges is the environmental impact of removing vegetation in a heavily-wooded state park known for equestrian, biking and hiking trails.
Vegetation removal has to be performed in order for the geophysical equipment to work properly, Thompson said.
"The work has to be performed in 100 to 200 acres at a time so that vegetation is not removed at the same time. Because certain species of trees grow throughout the park, we are meeting the state park's vegetation removal requirements and leaving specified trees and vegetation untouched."
Thompson said the contractor uses equipment to remove underbrush and other vegetation so workers can use geophysical equipment to detect potential unexploded ordnance below ground.
Daryl Donatelli, Huntsville Center Geophysicist for the Croft project, said Advanced Geophysical Classification technology is the primary equipment used to detect munitions in the ground at Camp Croft.
"The AGC equipment is mobilized over all accessible areas of the site with the positioning tracked by a centimeter accuracy positioning system -- either a commercially available Global Positioning System or Robotic Total Station," Donatelli said.
After the data is processed, Donatelli said the field positions of detected munitions can be reacquired, flagged, and then the munition is removed.
"This method allows us to safely leave the vast majority of the non-hazardous metal in the ground; reducing the cost and time to perform munitions cleanup."
Managing the FUDS program is a major undertaking, and progress ultimately depends on communication, partnerships, and community involvement.
As the Corps of Engineers is the executive agent for FUDS programs, reaching out to local communities to explain the processes involved in removing military munitions is one of the top priorities.
Although a state park may seem like an easier venue for MEC remediation work as opposed to a populated city, town or suburban area, the Camp Croft project has proven challenging. In 2019, Camp Croft became third priority on the national FUDS project list.
"The citizens that live in the area are concerned and involved and there have been restoration advisory board meetings with the Corps of Engineers and the community for more than 20 years," Thompson said.
A Restoration Advisory Board, or RAB, is made up of interested community members who reflect the diverse interests of the local community, as well as representatives of state, local and federal agencies. A RAB is designed to serve as a focal point for the exchange of information between the Corps and the community.
Huntsville Center's Environmental and Munitions Center of Expertise in Omaha, Nebraska, was also closely involved in the project.
The EM CX is using the Camp Croft site as a pilot program for the new Munitions Response Quality Assurance Project Plan process aimed at assisting districts in their initial meetings with regulators and stakeholders.
The MR-QAPP Toolkit introduces new terms, approaches, and QA/QC procedures applicable to Munitions Response projects.
Thompson said he's pleased with the response from all parties involved in the Camp Croft project and looks forward to restoring the site safely and quickly with little impact on people wanting to visit the state park.
"We have worked hard to make this happen, even as the COVID-19 pandemic began. I thought it would impact the project, but we moved forward and Savannah District now has the contract in place and work is beginning," Thompson said.
"We have all come together and are all on the same page, and we are delivering the program"

With more than 70 patents, Holman distills complex technology into practical tools. He will explain how to enter the mindset of the world's most innovative people and how to have a practical relationship with innovation. Holman will use examples garnered from his experience helping to create the world's smallest PC, spaceships with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and mosquito-zapping lasers with Microsoft founder Bill Gates. An expert in 3D printing, artificial intelligence and robotics, Holman also will provide a glimpse into next-generation technologies.
Drawing on examples garnered from his experience as a leader on the world stage and an eyewitness to leadership in action, Powell will illustrate precisely what it takes for the role, providing strategies for "taking charge" during times of great change and great crises. Powell will demonstrates how to remain focused, take responsibility and work toward improving processes, organizations and people.


During the past 30 years, the incidence of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in women aged 25-39 years has slightly increased. Up to date, no comprehensive review exists for therapeutic approaches in that patient population. Therefore, this review aimed to provide clinicians with an overview on the available data regarding endocrine treatment of hormone receptor-positive MBC in premenopausal women and to indicate potential future directions of research.


CORB is an algorithm for flagging and not going forward with alarming API endpoints which have CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) opened up and are readable but nonetheless are not something you should want to read from as they are sinister somehow. Imagine the difference between medicine locked up in the medicine cabinet (no CORS) and a bottle of poison freely sitting out and available (no CORB) to understand this. Beyond your ethernet (LAN), be careful what you drink.


The EK-FB ASUS C6H RGB Monoblock, which supports Asus' quite popular ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard based on AMD's latest X370 chipset, is the company's first socket AM4 monoblock and it is based on an all-in-one solution, which means it cools and covers both the CPU as well as the VRM part of the motherboard. The block is made in cooperation with Asus and uses the EK-Supremacy EVO cooling engine.
It also comes with a redesigned cold plate as well as high-flow design which means it will have both better mechanical contact with the IHS, which should provide better thermal transfer, as well as support liquid cooling systems with a weaker pump.
In order to keep up with the RGB LED trend, the new EK-FB ASUS C6H RGB Monoblock is equipped with a 4-pin RGB LED strip which connects to the motherboard's 4-pin LED header.
According to EKWB, the new EK-FB ASUS C6H RGB Monoblock is already available and comes only in a nickel version, priced at €119.95.

Jahana Hayes Running For Congress
National Teacher Of The Year Seeks Esty's Seat
Democrat Jahana Hayes, recipient of the 2016 National Teacher of the Year Award, today announced her candidacy for the 5th Congressional District of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Hayes is a lifelong Connecticut resident. A former social studies teacher at John F. Kennedy High School, she currently serves as the Talent and Professional Development Supervisor for Waterbury Public Schools. Hayes is known for her passion, energy, commitment to community and unifying presence. She has dedicated herself to being of service in the city of Waterbury and traveled the country engaging stakeholders on topics related to education and equity. These experiences have shown her that all people are facing similar challenges and she welcomes the opportunity to become a more well-rounded advocate for the entire 5th district.
"My decision to run is inspired by the people in my community. People with real stories, challenges and successes that often never make it into the discussion" explained Hayes. "I am running because I see myself in every student, teacher, mom, sister, daughter, friend, neighbor and stranger I meet, and their story is my story. I want to earn the trust of the people in this district and be the person to carry their concerns to Washington."
Hayes grew up in the Berkeley Heights housing project in Waterbury and her life was illustrated by obstacles. Her family struggled with addiction, relied on public assistance and at one point, lost their apartment. Hayes got pregnant as a teenager and all hopes for any upward mobility seemed beyond her grasp. She says it was the people in her community and her strong desire for an education that was a game changer. Jahana enrolled herself in school, graduated from Naugatuck Valley Community College, went on to get her 4-year degree at Southern Connecticut State University and her masters and advanced degrees from University of Saint Joseph and University of Bridgeport all while working to support her young family. "It is these experiences that compel me to invest so deeply in my community because I have been the benefactor of so much undeserved grace. We can do whatever it is we set our minds to, as long as we work hard and work together"
"I know that the people of the Fifth District want someone in Washington who will fight hard for them. I want them to know that I will do everything I can to serve them and the state I love to the best of my ability because our journey is not determined by where we begin but rather where we are going. I know the future of my city and my state and our country is so promising, because I see the possibilities every day in every person I encounter. And most importantly I want my children and your children to experience a better, brighter future. I look forward to meeting the residents of the 5th District, listening, learning and discussing the issues that you care about over the next several months," said Hayes.
Hayes lives in Wolcott with her husband Milford, a Waterbury Police Detective, they have four children. She is scheduled to attend a meet and greet for candidates tonight at 6pm at the Waterbury Portuguese Club, 1966 Baldwin Street, Waterbury, CT.

On the 8th June, 2016 a conference was held by the Inter-Municipality Initiative: cross-border e-collaboration in the e-regions at the Slovenian Third Age University in Ljubljana. Its purpose was to promote the e-economic opportunities of positive ageing. Developed in February 2011, the initiative encourages organisations from across Europe who have any interests in cross-border e-business to engage in ICT based prototype development.
The explicit focus of this conference was to explore and discuss new opportunities arising from public and consumer expenditure in relation to the needs and demands of older adults. The participants were encouraged to consider ICT-based innovative e-solutions and e-services as the best means to access these opportunities. This focus resulted in a memorandum of ideas relating to the Silver eEconomy in the hope that through engagement with ICT services or products, economic growth relating to active and healthy ageing could occur efficiently and effectively. The memorandum addressed the ways in which older people should be involved, incorporated and engaged with the Silver eEconomy. It addresses the need for holistic approaches to cross-sectoral innovation societies whilst highlighting the scope of the Silver eEconomy Development and the barriers this development may face.

"Looking Back", a new trio album from saxophonist Mike Murley, continues in the tradition of his two Juno award-winning recordings that featured bassist Steve Wallace and guitarist Ed Bickert. Reg Schwager has replaced the now retired Bickert and brings his own subtle yet potent style to the music without radically changing the sound of the group. Always swinging and lyrical, "Looking Back" is maintstream chamber jazz at its best.


Android 9 Pie's Adaptive Brightness feature uses machine learning to optimize your display brightness based on past adjustments - which is great, as long as your circumstances don't drastically change in the near future. However, if you've moved recently, or changed jobs, or done something else that changed your brightness preferences and made those settings obsolete, you might be looking for an easy way to retrain the Adaptive Brightness model without clearing all your battery data. Thankfully, now there is one.
With version 1.6 of Device Health Services, rolling out now, users have the option to reset Adaptive Brightness to factory default settings without clearing all storage, which includes things like battery statistics. It's a small change, but one that reduces a lot of hassle.
To get to this option on a Pixel, travel to Settings > Apps & notifications > Device Health Services > Storage and then click "Clear storage." In addition to the previous "Clear all data" button, there is now a button for resetting Adaptive Brightness. Note, however, that Adaptive Brightness and Device Health Services are not available on all Android handsets yet, though Google says it's working on bringing the feature to more manufacturers.
Other improvements to Digital Health Services include bug fixes and a few other behind-the-scenes infrastructure improvements. If you aren't able to nab the update via the Google Play Store, you can always sideload it via APK Mirror.


This post is long overdue since I visited Montréal a few weeks ago. Easily one of my favourite trips in 2015 has been a weekend trip to Montréal. Montréal is a charming and romantic city, rich with many historical sites, magnificent churches in nearly every neighbourhood and equipped with a truly thriving culinary scene that would make an epicure out of anyone.
While I certainly indulged in the fine dining and patisseries of Montréal's many gastronomic offerings, I admit I was particularly enticed to eat poutine for every meal.
Potatoes. Gravy. Cheese Curds. What is not to like about this heavenly yet simple concoction? It is truly the ultimate Canadian comfort food. As a poutine enthusiast (I was at the birthplace of poutine (Québec) after all) it seemed highly logical at the time to eat at 3 different poutineries in the span of two days.
If you do a Google search of "Montreal Poutine" you will find the following establishments that specialize in poutine, though I didn't really plan on turning my weekend getaway into a poutine expedition.
The criteria are: the crispiness of the potatoes, flavour of the gravy, how well the gravy melts the cheese and overall satisfaction. Yes I clearly put some thought into this.
Here it is, the 3 poutineries I visited and my ratings out of 5 stars.
A late and rainy arrival into Montréal, my travelling buddy and I were starving after a slightly uncomfortable 6.5 hour bus ride from Toronto and poutine was just the ticket. We originally decided to go to Montréal Poutine but it was closed and the cab driver took us to his favourite place.
The service wasn't incredible but there was a DIY component to ordering where you fill in a "Create Your Own Poutine" template and choose the type of potatoes, cheese and gravy (among other toppings) and hand over to the server.
They are known for their red wine gravy. However, I did not stray too far from the original and ordered their house special "crushed potatoes" with regular cheese curds and the usual beef gravy. Overall, I was disappointed, the gravy was not hot enough to melt the cheese and the crushed potatoes just did not work for me.
A late Saturday afternoon snack between lunch, drinks and dinner, this poutinerie was light, delicious and incredibly satisfying. Located in the quaint little streets of Old Montreal and a beautiful old building with many rustic indoor and outdoor seating options – this place was awesome! What made this gravy very light is the chicken-based and therefore it was significantly less heavy than its beef counterpart.
A cult-classic and local favourite, this joint is open 24 hours a day and was my favourite of the three. The wait was about half an hour but oh so worth it! The fries were just the right crispness, the beef gravy was the perfect consistency and not too thick and it was piping hot to melt the glorious cheese curds. While they excel at the original poutine, they draw in the 'after-hours' crowds because of its unique topping combinations and fun names (La T-Rex anyone?).
**** 4.75/5 – near perfection.
What is your favourite poutinerie? What is the best one you have ever had?
Previous Nutella latte? Yes Please.
Next What in the world is 'Makguli'?

The Last of Us Remastered Edition Review
The Last of Us Remastered Edition Review admin
Summary: The Last of Us Remastered Edition enhances an already perfect game on the PlayStation 3 to something even more powerful on the PS4
The Last of Us Remastered Edition
Distributor: Sony
Format: PlayStation 4
Genre: Action Adventure
Rating: R18+
Reviewer: Peter Bourke
One of the best games on the PlayStation 3 has arrived on the PlayStation 4 with Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Remastered Edition that boasts glorious 1080p graphics and a flawless framerate of 60 frames per second. The game also boasts high resolution character models, improved shadows, realistic lightning and enhanced gaming mechanics to give you the definitive The Last of Us experience as we follow Joel and Ellie, two survivors of a deadly pandemic that has ravaged the globe.
To compound the situation, Joel has been given the task of protecting Ellie who may hold the future for humanity but the world that they live in is vastly different and deadly compared to modern civilization. It's every man for themselves in this post-apocalyptic world but what made The Last of Us so compelling was the not just the story but the characterisation of both Joel and Ellie. As a result, you became very protective over both Joel and Ellie.
Given that, it's easily one of the best narratives in the video game arena and hopefully the movie will do the game justice. The remastered edition also makes use of the audio capabilities of the DualShock 4 controller and the new photo mode which is a great option for appreciating the enhanced graphics of this title. Sure it may be the PS3 version but it's a far superior version on this next-gen console.
Besides the amazing visuals of the remastered edition, The Last of Us also collects the additional DLC from the PS3 version that includes a single chapter dedicated to Ellie's past called Left Behind and a very challenging multiplayer pack entitled Abandoned Territories that can be quite savage at times. But for those who played the original game on the PS3, the question you're probably asking is… is it worth playing it again on the PlayStation 4? My answer would be yes and just like the remastered edition of Tomb Raider for this console, The Last of Us Remastered Edition is equally as compelling, especially with the amazing visuals and tweaked gameplay.
In terms of story and without spoiling it, both Joel and Ellie travel across America as they meet dangerous survivors, a clandestine military and humans controlled by this parasitic plant organism that really up the ante in terms of action. Seeing and hearing the Clickers and Stalkers again really sent a shiver up my spine, especially with the limited weaponry. With that said, ammunition is scarce and sometimes stealth is the only way to solve certain areas in the game. As the game is in third person, it does give the player some great dynamics on how they view the world and Naughty Dog should be complimented on such sturdy gaming mechanics.
Another great element of the gameplay is the AI of Ellie who almost feels like a real person opposed to a non-player character and together with Joel, they must solve puzzles in order to proceed. I also enjoyed the DLC chapter Left Behind which has a very different tone compared to the dangerous post-apocalyptic world of the main game and gave the player a great insight into Ellie before her life was turned upside down. All in all, The Last of Us Remastered Edition ticks all the right boxes when it comes to gameplay, graphics and audio.
Graphics & Audio
As mentioned numerous times, the visuals of The Last of Us Remastered Edition are brilliant. Everything looks more detailed and gritty, especially the characters themselves. Lighting is quite realistic and is used well in this post-apocalyptic action adventure game, not to mention the frights. To complement the beautiful visuals, voice acting is perfect thanks to Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson plus the engaging musical score that changes with the gameplay to give the player a wonderful gaming experience and memory. The game is also very smooth, thanks to the 60 fps which definitely turns The Last of Us Remastered Edition into reference material on the PlayStation 4.
PS4 vs PS3
The Last of Us Remastered Edition deserves another perfect score on the PlayStation 4 thanks to the collected DLC and improved graphics that I thought could not be possible due to how amazing it looked on the PS3. Nonetheless for fans and newcomers, they will enjoy the story of Joel and Ellie as they explore this decimated world and get lost in the untold chapter of Ellie plus the multiplayer fun of Abandoned Territories with its rich textures, colours and silky smooth graphics. Gaming doesn't get any better than this!
Explore a brutal post-pandemic world, fully realised with the power of PlayStation®4 system
Delve into Ellie's past in Left Behind, the single-player chapter
In-game cinematic commentary from the cast and creative director
Abandoned Territories multiplayer map pack
Reclaimed Territories pack – details will be coming soon on exactly what is included

Investing in people key to Sprengers' success,…
Investing in people key to Sprengers' success, they say
"My brother and I aren't very smart," joked Sprenger. "We find people who are smarter than us, ask them to do the job and if they don't, we fire them and get someone else. It works out well."
Sprenger's company deals exclusively with retired people, offering independent living, assisted living and nursing homes. They operate in 13 different locations throughout Lorain, Amherst, Wellington, Wooster and Talmadge.
The company is something of a family business, with several members of the Sprenger clan filling various positions and still others in school with hopes of entering the field. Sprenger said he is not in the business, however, just to give his family members jobs.
"Our rule is that they have to work elsewhere for at least two years before we hire them," said Sprenger, whose son, Scott, also works for the company. "They need to go out into the field and prove themselves by getting their fingers dirty first."
Sprenger, who said he and his brother are currently "semi-retired," is optimistic about the next generation of Sprengers and their handling of the company.
The kids are smart, Sprenger said, and hard-working. "They work hard now and my brother and I play. That's our plan."
Sprenger attributes much of his company's success to their continuous scholarship program, which allows employees in a nursing program to work for Sprenger Retirement Centers and have their college paid for. "We've given away tens of thousands of dollars," he said. "We look at that as investing, because right now there's a critical shortage in nurses. We believe in investing in our people."
This is Sprenger Retirement Centers' third time as an established business finalist in the Golden 30. For the last five years, the company has had average yearly sales increases of 29.7 percent and average yearly employment increases of 27.8 percent.
The Golden 30: Growing Companies Demonstrating World-Class Performance has recognized 15 established and 15 emerging companies in the Lorain, Erie and Huron counties. The Golden 30 ranked each finalist according to sales and employment figures from the last five years.
Sprenger said that his company is constantly considering new ventures. They are currently looking at acquiring groups of nursing homes in Florida and plan to put a $5 million addition on their Anchor Lodge facility in Lorain in the next few years.
Of his eight nursing homes, Sprenger said six were found to be deficiency-free last year, a status only 10 percent of nursing homes receive. Sprenger thinks the high quality of his facilities has a lot to do with the way the company treats its staff.
"You treat people well, pay them well and expect the best. If you don't get the best, you find someone else."
