Modern traditional medicine has made great progress in treating the organ of vision, but stillDoctors do not associate the health of the eyes with the general state of the human body. Very few people who turned to an ophthalmologist, the expert advised to improve their diet, although this is common sense. Improper nutrition directly affects the deterioration of the functions of the eye, so you need to take care that the body receives all the necessary substances. What foods contain vitamins for the eyes? How to choose a suitable vitamin complex from pharmacy products?
some are useful for the circulatory system, others for bones, etc. They are complex in nature, but there are certain substances that bring maximum benefit to such a fragile human body as the eyes. These include vitamins A, B, C, E.
Vitamin A( retinol).It stimulates the growth and multiplication of new cells, increases immunity. For vision, this vitamin is very important, because it is responsible for the night vision of a person. The lack of this substance leads to a violation of color perception, deterioration of vision in the dark, drying of the corneal cells of the eye and conjunctiva. As a result, there is a risk of developing conjunctivitis( an infectious disease).Vitamin A contains products: dog rose, dill, fatty fish, red carrots, mountain ash, pumpkin, prunes, butter, cottage cheese, milk, liver, sour cream.
Vitamin C. This substance performs many functions in the human body - regulates carbohydrate metabolism, collagen synthesis, oxidation-reduction reactions, participates in tissue renewal, normalizes capillary permeability and blood coagulability. As an antioxidant, vitamin C reduces the risk of cataracts, glaucoma and slows the already manifested disease. The substance takes part in the regulation of intraocular pressure, prevents ocular tissue diseases. It is found in berries, citrus, greens, apples, cabbage, Bulgarian pepper.
Vitamin E. A strong antioxidant reduces the risk of fiber exfoliation, prevents cataracts and supports diabetes in diabetics. Vitamin takes an active part in the normalization of blood clotting, protein metabolism, improves blood flow and increases the muscle tone of a person. Vitamin E we get them from plant products - sunflower, sea-buckthorn, olive, linseed, corn and other oils. However, in small quantities it is present in meat, liver, milk, eggs.
Group of vitamins B. Their main mission is to generate energy and participate in tissue respiration. These substances provide a healthy functioning of the nerves, a lack of vitamins B affects primarily the eyesight. Substances of this group have a positive effect on the body, like atioxidants. The most famous ones are В1, В2, В3, В5, В6, В9, В12.They are found in legumes, nuts, liver, dairy products, meat, mushrooms, cereals, bran, vegetables, eggs, fish. Choose a suitable complex for B vitamins.
Vitamins for the eyes are complex agents that contain the necessary substances to maintain the activity of the visual system. So, there are medicinal complexes specially created to treat or prevent age-related diseases, for example, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration. An alternative type of multivitamin is used in the treatment of impairment of twilight vision, farsightedness or nearsightedness. Such drugs are sold in pharmacies freely, without the requirement of a doctor's prescription.
Polyvitaminic liquid preparations for the eyes have become very popular, which is associated with their maximum effectiveness - they reach their goal more quickly, and their action is more directional. But doctors are skeptical about eye drops, which is associated with the negative consequences of frequent irritation of the cornea with such substances. There is a list of indications when eye drops are allowed to use. They should be used at high eye strain( prolonged work at the computer) or with eye irritation( especially if the reason is the wearing of lenses).
tablets Vitamins for the eyes in the form of tablets are a traditional option. Their advantages are obvious, because the tablets are convenient to take anywhere and at the right time. Tableted vitamin complexes are taken by courses, but not all-the-year-round: in winter, when the body experiences vitamin deficiency, and in the autumn - as preparation for the winter period of a lack of vitamins. Admission of this type of medication does not need to be coordinated with a doctor, you can buy them in any pharmacy.
Eye multivitamin complexes in ampoules are much less common than in other forms. Almost all of them have a similar composition, but each drug has some peculiarity that makes it possible to make the best choice. The type of injection can be determined exclusively by the attending physician, based on the diagnosis and condition of the patient's eyes. The injections should be performed only by a specialist, since improper execution of the procedure will entail serious consequences( wounding of the eyeball, infection, the appearance of a hematoma).
Pharmacies offer different vitamin preparations for the eyes, containing the necessary vitamins, minerals, minerals that support the normal operation of all structures and cells of the organ of vision. Complexes consist of vitamins in various combinations and dosages, microelements( zinc, copper, selenium) and two bioactive substances - lutein and zeaxanthin. The latter play a very important role for vision, since they have an effect similar to the work of antioxidants. They increase the stability of the cornea to the influence of unfavorable factors of the external world.
Eye vitamins are rich in lutein, therefore, they are the best way to restore vision when it decreases from fatigue, stress or irritation.a green apple. Super Optics are considered one of the best multivitamin complexes for sight in the domestic market, they relieve itching, redness and reduce eye pressure under heavy loads.
Doppel herz are German eye vitamins containing lutein( an antioxidant that renews the cells of the eye).Due to the high volume of this substance in the preparation, Doppelherz is ideal for restoring vision after any mechanical damage or surgical intervention. According to reviews, such vitamins normalize visual acuity and support it for a long time.
The basis of the drug "Blueberry Fort" is an extract of blueberry fruit. Pigments of these berries( anthocyanins) serve as antioxidants, establish metabolic processes in the body and tissues of the eye, serve as an angioprotector - correct microcirculation. This drug contains zinc, ascorbic acid, B vitamins and rutin, which provide additional protection for the vessels of the organ of vision. Blueberry forte is recommended as vitamins for the eyes when working at the computer, because it prevents fatigue with prolonged exercise.
The composition of the preparation focus is blueberry extract. It effectively hinders the deterioration of vision, maintaining its sharpness at the same level. These vitamins, according to reviews, reduce eye fatigue, eliminate fatigue symptoms( relieve redness, itching).People who used the drug noted improvement in well-being and recovery of eye health.
The Strix is recommended for use with a long time working at a computer or performing welding operations. The drug is effective in removing eye fatigue and normalizing their ability to focus. However, vitamins have an equal number of positive and negative reviews. The second is due to the lack of visual improvement in 50% of people who used the drug, and positive feedback is associated with the elimination of irritation and fatigue of the eyes.
Vitrum contains a set of vitamins necessary for healthy vision and blueberry extract. This composition makes the drug effective for restoring vision even under severe lens loads. Vitrum Vizhn perfectly supports the acuity of vision, relieve the fatigue of the eyes and the unpleasant sensations associated with it. The drug is not effective in controlling eye diseases, but it has been proven that vitamins have a positive effect on the eyeball that has undergone laser vision correction.
Vitamin B2 or riboflavin is involved in metabolic processes occurring in the cornea and lens of the eye. He transforms carbohydrates into the energy needed for the eye muscles, and stimulates the oxygen exchange process - this supports human vision at the normal level. Vitamin B2 is contained in the visual purple, which protects the pupil from ultraviolet radiation. If the body lacks it, the visual acuity decreases sharply in the evening. Riboflavin should be taken as a preventive remedy for cataracts, diseases of the retina, the cornea and the optic nerve.
Margarita, 39 years old: I work as an accountant, so from morning to eveningshould focus on the computer screen, peering into the endless series of numbers. By evening, the eyes often itch and blush, visual acuity falls. Recently started to regularly take Vitrum vitamins and noticed that the symptoms and fatigue gradually went away. And discomfort from the computer, if it happens, it is very rare.
Irina, 26 years old: When I switched from glasses to contact lenses, my eyes began to blush often, irritation appeared. An ophthalmologist recommended Doppelherz with lutein. I used to hear about such a drug from acquaintances, but I never used it myself. The result was positive: fatigue and redness quickly passed, the lenses no longer bring unpleasant sensations.
Yana, 46: I want to recommend the eye vitamins my family drinks - Lutein Forte. Of the advantages I can highlight not only the effectiveness, but still an acceptable price and natural composition. We take the drug, according to the instructions, the course 2-3 months per year and are very satisfied with the result. The big plus is that vitamins are suitable even for children( from 14 years old), because they have a huge load on the eyes.

IODP Expedition 354
Bengal Fan
Expedition Information
Week 6 Report (1–7 March 2015)
This week we continued RCB coring in Hole U1451B. Cores 21R to 73R sampled 476.7 m of formation (704.6–1181.3 m) and recovered 150.28 m of core (32%). Due to the nature of the rocks being recovered at the base of Hole U1451B, we decided to stop further coring on 6 March. Wireline logging was not attempted due to poor hole conditions. At the end of the week, we returned to Site U1450 to conduct deep RCB coring and wireline logging.
Hole U1451B (MBF-3A)
Cores U1451B-21R to 36R penetrated 155.6 m (704.6–860.2 m) and recovered 37.98 m of core (24%). The drill string became stuck after retrieving Core 35R and 30 min were needed to work the pipe free. Due to the poor hole conditions, we decided to conduct a wiper trip after Core 36R arrived on the rig floor. While raising the bit back up into the 10.75 inch casing that extends to 401 m, the drill string encountered significant torque and up to 30–40 klbs of drag. After slipping and cutting the drill line with the bit inside the casing, the bit was lowered to 637 m where it encountered a bridge. We washed and reamed from this depth back down to the bottom of the hole (860.2 m) and resumed RCB coring at 0145 h on 3 March. After a few fast penetration, low recovery cores (Cores 38R–41R; presumably loose sands) with high drill string torque and some overpull, we conducted a short wiper trip by raising the bit from 908.9 m up to 869.6 m and then washing back to bottom. RCB coring resumed at 1115 h on 3 March.
Cores 42R to 73R cored from 908.9 to 1181.3 m (272.4 m) and recovered 104.28 m of core (38%). Due to the nature of the rocks being recovered, we decided to stop further coring at 1440 h on 6 March and conduct wireline logging. We started to raise the bit back up to the base of the 10.75 inch casing (401 m), two joints of drill pipe at a time (doubles) and with the top drive in place, because of the poor hole conditions. While raising the bit, the drill string experienced torque and overpull and then became stuck at 963 m. We also observed up to 250 psi of overpressure in the drill pipe. After the drill string was freed, we had to rotate, apply overpull, and circulate to be able to raise the bit up to 529 m. We then removed the top drive, but still had 20–25 klbs of overpull until the bit was up inside the casing. Based on the hole conditions, we decided it was not reasonable to log the hole. At the end of 6 March, we started reassembling the drill pipe doubles back into stands so that we could resume recovery of the drill string. After the bit was back on board, the rig floor was secured, the seafloor positioning beacon was recovered, and we departed for Site U1450 at 0806 h on 7 March.
Site U1450, Hole U1450B
After a 64 nmi transit, we arrived back at Site U1450 at 1342 h on 7 March. We assembled an RCB with a mechanical bit release (MBR), lowered it to the seafloor, and started drilling in Hole U1450B at 2305 h on 7 March. We plan to drill without coring to 600 m (Hole U1450A cored to 687.4 m), core below that depth, and then log.
Schlumberger wireline logging activities:
Checked seismic source (surface solenoid check without air pressure) to confirm compatibility and functionality prior to logging Hole U1451B.
Held several meetings with Co-chiefs, rig-side IODP management, and EPM to discuss logging options and scenarios.
Prepared software and equipment for logging in Hole U1451B with expected logging on Saturday/Sunday; ultimately cancelled due to hole conditions.
Rechecked existing software and equipment preparations for upcoming Hole U1450B logging.
Site U1451, the easternmost location of the 8°N transect drilled by Expedition 354, is our deepest targeted drilling depth down to a seismic unconformity, which is believed to indicate the onset of fan deposition at this latitude. This site also contributes to the Miocene–Pliocene transect of three 900 m deep holes and the Pleistocene coverage at six locations. In addition to the overall Neogene deposition objective, this site is intended to extend back in time the sedimentary record of the Himalayan erosion.
Lithostratigraphy
The drilling of Hole U1451B that we initiated last week was completed on 6 March at a total depth of 1181.3 m DSF, with 28% recovery of the cored interval. Relatively soft silty clay, silts and calcareous oozes gave way downhole to increasingly lithified intervals of claystone and siltstone rich in plant fragments. At ~860 m CSF-A, recovered cores contained bioturbated limestones alternating with laminated mottled claystones and siltstones with plant fragments, indicating a transition from a turbidite-dominated to a carbonate-rich and/or clay-rich depositional environment. From 1103.4 m CSF-A to the bottom of the hole, recovered material is predominantly heavily bioturbated and mottled marlstones alternating with light gray to white limestone with occasional intervals of claystone. Siltstones still occur in this interval, though they are well-sorted, do not exhibit sedimentary layering, have a much reduced mica content compared to the siltstones higher in the section, lack plant debris, exhibit fluid escape features, and occasionally contain clasts of the carbonate rocks. These siltstones appear to be post-depositional features that have been injected into the carbonate sequences.
This week, calcareous nannofossil and foraminiferal biostratigraphic analyses were conducted on both core catcher and core samples from Hole U1451B. We analyzed ~120 samples for nannofossil assemblages and ~75 samples for foraminifera. Foraminifera were rare, and over 50% of samples were barren. When present, foraminifera were frequently recrystallized or flattened, making identification difficult. Foraminifera from the early Miocene to latest Eocene were found in samples consistent with nannofossil assemblages. Nannofossil biostratigraphy places the deepest clear turbidite deposits (1093 m CSF-A) to the Upper Oligocene, and the bottom of Hole U1451B to the Upper Eocene.
Paleomagnetics
We completed preliminary paleomagnetic studies at Hole U1451B on all retrieved cores (Cores 1X to 65R). We measured the archive section halves at four alternating field demagnetization steps (0, 10, 15, and 20 mT) to evaluate the downhole changes of the remanence magnetization behavior during AF demagnetization as well as changes of the magnetic polarity. None of these cores were oriented, and noise and bias made it difficult to identify magnetic polarity from inclination alone. We did observe sedimentary bedding that appears to have been tilted perhaps by local faulting; in the seismic data reflectors appear to dip to the east. In the cores, we measured the apparent dip of the formation on the split surface of all archive section halves. Using the magnetic declination measured at the same points as the apparent dip measurements, we were able to calculate a best-fit true dip, and to use changes in the direction of our dip estimate to evaluate the magnetic polarity for most cores. We also refined our analysis of the magnetostratigraphy obtained at Hole U1451A in conjunction with the biostratigraphy. We were able to confidently identify eight reversals over the last 5 Ma. The sedimentation rate in the hemipelagic sequences is on the order of 1.5 cm/k.y. This value is similar to sedimentation rates determined for sections of comparable age at Sites U1449 and U1451.
Physical property data were acquired on cores from Hole U1451B, including density, magnetic susceptibility, P-wave velocity, natural gamma radiation, and thermal conductivity. Measurements with the WRMSL became increasingly difficult because the liners were no longer completely filled with sediment due to RCB drilling. As a consequence, the PWL was turned off and we increased the amount of P-wave measurements made on the split cores with the caliper. Also, we are exploring ways to compensate for the incompletely filled cores to correct GRA values in the lower part of the hole.
The physical properties in Hole U1451B, between 540 to 1180 mbsf, reflect both lithological variations and lithification with depth. P-wave velocities and bulk densities had a gently increasing trend with depth from 540 to 950 mbsf, due to compaction and lithification. Calcareous lithologies lithified at shallower depths than the other litholologies, as reflected in the P-wave velocity measurements, reaching over 3000 m/s in limestones at 950 mbsf. Pelagic limestones between 1110 and 1160 mbsf had P-wave velocities between 2700 to 3500 m/s, and the limestones beneath reached 5000 m/s.
The chemistry laboratory spent the week processing and analyzing samples from Holes U1451A and U1451B for pore water and bulk sediment geochemistry. Headspace gases in Hole U1451B revealed remarkably low concentrations of methane (<8.5 ppmv) down to the bottom of the hole. Analysis of interstitial waters for alkalinity, chlorinity, pH, major elements, and anion chemistry are in progress for Hole U1451B. Bulk sediment geochemistry characterization by ICP has been completed for Hole U1451A (36 samples) and is in progress for Hole U1451B. Analyses for total inorganic carbon (TIC) and total carbon (TC) are complete in Hole U1451A (81 samples) and in progress for Hole U1451B (25 samples). Carbonate content in Hole U1451B varies from 2 to 87 wt%. Total organic carbon (TOC) calculated by difference between TC and TIC varies from <0.1 to 1.1 wt%. Handheld XRF measurements are being performed on selected sections of cores from the lower part of Hole U1451B to supplement data collected from bulk chemical and physical properties analysis. These data allowed non-destructive, fast and effective estimates of clay to carbonate ratios in non-turbiditic sediments.
Operations in Hole U1451B allowed core to be recovered down to the Eocene in spite of very difficult hole conditions. Bellow the 400 m deep casing, loose sand formation collapse required very efficient coring operations, minimizing time without water-mud circulation and rotation of the drill string. This allowed total penetration down to 1181.3 m CSF-A with excellent recovery in the deeper section of the hole. Overall, Hole U1451B extended the turbiditic record of the Himalayan erosion to the Upper Oligocene (25–28 Ma), a time interval not documented elsewhere. Hole U1451B records the timing of fan onlap at this site and marks the transition to clay rich and/or pelagic carbonate deposition throughout Oligocene and Eocene. The clear seismic reflector previously reported as an Eocene unconformity seems to fit with the onlap of the fan over lithified limestone and claystone during the Upper Oligocene. The Eocene and Lower Oligocene sequence has undergone significant post-depositional deformation marked by silt injections in the limestones and claystones on various scales. The depositional nature and origin of the clay-rich sequences remains to be elucidated. This type of deposition does not correlate with equivalent deposition during Oligocene at Site 758 on the Ninetyeast Ridge. While one could have expected older fan onlap at this site and provide a longer record of direct Himalayan erosion, the achieved coring reached completely the objectives and extended back in time this record as far as possible within reasonable drilling depth. The deeper limestone-claystone will further document the Oligocene–Eocene evolution of the Bengal basin.
Education and Outreach Activities
As part of our Education and Outreach activities for the Bengal Fan Expedition, we posted daily updates and photos on our official social media outlets (Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/joidesresolution], Twitter [https://twitter.com/TheJR], and Instagram [http://instagram.com/joides_resolution]). We selected a winner of the contest to boost the number of Instagram followers, which have increased by >40% since the start of the expedition. We continued compiling activity metrics from these websites, and are using these analytics to improve posts and increase our reach. We also wrote blogs for the http://joidesresolution.org/ website.
To prepare for our live video interactions with schools and museums around the world, we continued to communicate with shore-based educators to schedule broadcasts and carried out several test connections. We held live broadcasts with Lewisville High School (Lewisville, TX), University of Washington (Tacoma, WA), University of British Columbia (Canada), Telopea Park School (Australia), Lycée Pablo Picasso (France), Lycée Lucie Aubrac (France), IES Severo Ochoa de Granada (Spain) and Lycée Franco-Bolivien (Bolivia), plus two "ship chats" with the Exploratorium (San Francisco, CA). Of particular note was a live broadcast with Tribhuvan University (Nepal), which was a significant achievement given the remote location, and a unique opportunity to connect with students in the Himalayas—the source of the sediments in the Bengal Fan. We also held a live broadcast with the "Unterirdisch" Geo-Show, part of the annual IODP/ICDP science meeting in Germany, which was attended by over 500 students and hailed as the highlight of the show by the local newspaper. Lastly, we organized two "Friends & Family" broadcasts for members of the Science Party.
We interviewed scientists for and edited the "Source to Sink" video in final post-production. We shot beauty slider video of core from deep in Hole U1451B. A scientist and IODP technician have built a tank with a slope to demonstrate turbidity currents. We started pre-production and testing of this turbidite demonstration video, and possibly plan to film a "making of" video, interviewing the two developers. The Education Officers had a halfway point check-in with the Assistant Director of Education at the Consortium for Ocean Leadership.
Technical Support and HSE Activities
Technical staff were still fully engaged supporting coring and science operations at Site U1451. Laboratories were fully operational, although we had to work through several issues to avoid any major impact to the science operations.
Laboratory Activities
SRA (Source Rock Analyzer): We began systematic troubleshooting efforts to understand why the SRA is not functioning.
Liquid Nitrogen Generator: We are in the process of implementing vendor recommended actions to clear the Liquid N2 generator of ice and zero the fill gauge.
Developer Activities
DescLogic (Core Description Application): Since the release of version 10, we have had an apparent increase in the frequency of application crashes. The cause is under investigation and we may roll back to the earlier version.
P-wave Logger (Whole Round Multisensor Logger): Fixed issue with the 20 MHz filter and updated the user interface to display the threshold and time pick in real time.
MCS Activities
Logging Data: A test was successfully completed transmitting logging data to LDEO.
SHIL-b (Imaging Track Computer): Removed the solid state drive because of recurring issues with the RAID controller. Working with the LSI vendor on a firmware upgrade to the controller.
HSE Activities
The weekly fire and abandon ship drill was held.

Bjarke Ingels: Danish Maritime Museum
The BIG founder broke the competition rules to win the Danish Maritime Museum in Helsingør. But the finished project, an "invisible icon" mostly concealed behind the walls of a dry dock, suggests that the notorious architectural prankster may be growing up
This article was first published in Icon's July 2014 issue: Underground, under the headline "Bjarke Ingels in the dock". Buy old issues or subscribe to the magazine for more like this
The museum was the first competition BIG won," says Bjarke Ingels, speaking on a train somewhere between Geneva and Milan. "I was 31 when I read the brief, and I was 39 when it opened. I spent my thirties doing this project."
Ingels' practice BIG (it stands for Bjarke Ingels Group) won the architectural competition for the £36m Danish Maritime Museum in Helsingør in 2006 and immediately found itself at the centre of a lawsuit.
The Danish Architects' Association felt the proposal defied one of the competition rules: that the scheme had to be contained within the site's dry dock walls. BIG had done something different. "It seemed as if EU law and competition criteria were preventing one of the main reasons to hire a design consultant: to come up with solutions you wouldn't be able to come up with yourself. It totally undermines the profession," Ingels says.
"I thought it was narrow-minded of them to go that route." Ingels likens the situation to the Fosbury Flop, when the high jumper Dick Fosbury developed a new technique for the athletic event that was initially viewed with hostility. In Helsingør, the architects, like Fosbury, persevered with their contentious approach, and, like Fosbury, they won. And the museum is all the better for it.
"We joked that we had a Hamlet complex when conceiving this project," says David Zahle, the director at BIG who led the project. "We said it had to be, and not to be at the same time. It had to be an invisible icon."
The need for this oxymoronic typology stems from the demands that followed the inscription of Kronborg Castle on the Unesco World Heritage Sites list in 2000. The Renaissance pile – an earlier incarnation of which had provided the setting for the Shakespeare play – had to be restored to a state that the heritage police would consider original.
As the first floor of the castle was occupied by the maritime museum, the artefacts were boxed up and packed out – they were not original enough. The Helsingør authorities decided that the new home for the museum was to be a dry dock, built in 1953 on the plain next to the castle.
"It had been full of water for 25 years and they decided to put a museum in it," Zahle recalls. "We couldn't see what we were getting into. When we started drawing there was a lot built on imagination."
At the now completed museum, the dock itself has been drained and retained as a ship-shaped void.
Three bridges cross the space, one of which descends into the dock, ricocheting off a wall and into the entrance. The concrete shell of the dock is left exposed as an artefact, its presence an indicator of scale and context for the models and displaced paraphernalia inside the museum.
Beneath the bridges are the temporary exhibition spaces, the auditorium and the cafe – BIG saw these areas as the most busiest parts of the museum, more likely to pique the interest of passers-by, and worked to make them the most visible part of the invisible icon. The permanent collection is hidden beneath the ground and behind the 1.5m-thick concrete walls of the dock.
"We wanted to avoid doing a spectacular shape. We wanted to create intrigue," Zahle says. "It was about minimising architectural elements. [The building] is just a frame around the dock."
Unesco stated that the view of the castle must not be obstructed, so the building could not protrude more than 1m from the top of the dock wall. The town insisted that the architect retained a 13m-wide path needed to link the town square to the castle and an 8m-long promenade at the sea wall.
Moreover, BIG wanted to supply 4,500sq m of floor space, almost twice what the dock could offer. "It all seemed to point against using the historical dock," Zahle says. "So we asked the engineers if we could insulate the dock from the back, and keep the structure empty." Inserting an insulated sheet wall 5m beyond the perimeter of the dock wall gave the architects the opportunity they needed.
"We thought, rather than dig around it, stick in the insulation and then fill it up again, we should put the museum out there," Zahle adds. "This would allow us to exhibit the texture of the dock and give us the space we wanted."
The exhibition occupies a void created through abstracting, and excavating, a shift in the maritime landscape. When the dock was constructed in 1953, it was aligned with the industrial quay line, dating from around 1910. BIG, however, plotted a rectangle to be excavated that was perpendicular to the 15th-century dock.
It is a simple architectural diagram that belies the complexity of the effort to create a new space around the old. "In computer programming, complexity is defined as the capacity to transmit the maximum amount of information with the minimum amount of data," Ingels says.
"So the fewer the keystrokes, or line strokes in this case, that you use to deliver the same impact, the greater the complexity is." As a result of this simple/complex theory, the subterranean space for the exhibition is squeezed at two points where the dock sits diagonally across the excavation.
The museum follows a linear path that descends slowly around the perimeter of the dock, the spaces opening up from tight corridors to larger exhibition halls. In the permanent collection, the spaces are cluttered with a hyperactive exhibition design by Kossmann.dejong – where you can tattoo yourself like a sailor or enjoy the titillation
of shore leave.
But the spatial sequence is coherent and easily navigable: it is a simple loop that breaks out on to the bridges that slash through the dock. BIG has packed in permanent and temporary exhibition space,
an auditorium, a cafe and ample office and education spaces without actually filling the space it was asked to fill.
The walkways beneath the bridge decks are where the museum is most visible and, sadly, most clumsily executed. "We wanted
to create as much transparency as possible on the bridges at all times, so that the dock and activity in the museum remain visible," says Zahle.
The walkways link across the void of the dock, each flanked with delicately hung glass that prevents deep shadows from being cast inside the subterranean space. However, the floor plates tilt in order to compensate for the change in levels across the space, and this squeezes a few areas to the point of uselessness, with the effect of extinguishing any desire to linger.
Thick iron chains suspend the platform from the deck above – I assume that they are decorative, but Zahle is quick to correct me. "They are structural," he says. "The bridges above act as a beam, and therefore we could hang a lightweight 60cm deck from them using the chains. The structure above is doing all the work."
The lightness of the bridges does bring an energy to the dock, although this is undercut by the fact that they are filled with the ponderous silhouettes of visitors.
"In the maritime museum you can see what we can do, for the first time, with a cultural institution," Ingels says. "We have, I think, seven projects under construction around the world; we have matured quite a bit. I think BIG achieved a certain notoriety quite early on based as much, or more, on promise rather than realisation. I think that gave rise to a misconception that we were more about ideas and less about details. We worked hard to make things happen."
Ingels' story is well known: a "child of Rem" at OMA in the late 1990s, the five-year collaboration with Julien De Smedt at PLOT, then the comic-book manifesto Yes is More, followed by some high-profile and critically lauded housing projects such as 8 House and the Mountain Dwellings in Copenhagen.
This serious work was completed alongside Jackass-style pranks such as "stealing" the Little Mermaid statue from the Copenhagen waterside to sit in the Danish pavilion at the Shanghai Expo in 2010. Ingels has a track record that must make his OMA contemporaries green with envy: for all the posing of Ole Scheeren and the earnestness of REX, few of his immediate peers have built as much or established such a strong international persona – arguably, not even De Smedt.
Underneath the devil-may-care appearance of BIG, there is grit. Commissions continue to be won, and when institutes claim that you are fighting dirty for competition wins, it suggests that you continue to unnerve many within the profession.
The completion of the museum also points towards one of BIG's, or at least Ingels', current preoccupations – the cultural reinterpretation of industrial infrastructure. "One of the greatest art museums in London is a former power plant. One of the most popular parks in New York is a decommissioned rail line.
The maritime museum is a former dry dock," Ingels says. "On our most recent projects we are trying to impregnate these pieces of infrastructure with proactive social side-effects." This can be seen, most obviously, in two schemes, one on site and one in development. The Amager Resource Centre in Copenhagen is a waste-to-energy power station that incorporates a ski slope along its roof.
"Back in the day you would stay as far away as possible from a power plant due to the toxic emissions. Now, they only really produce steam and carbon dioxide. You have fresh air on the roof and that opens up a whole new possibility for synergy," he says excitedly.
"Here we have a cold climate but no hills. Alpine skiing is a virgin activity in Denmark – we can introduce it. You saw how bad it was when we won zero medals [at the Winter Olympics] in Sochi." In New York, meanwhile, alongside the substantial housing project W57, BIG has spent nine months developing the Big U, a 10-mile flood defence cum elevated path.
"Instead of the high line, it is the dry line," says Ingels, proving that laboured jokes about projects may emanate from the top at BIG. "It is a series of elements – furniture, landscape, pavilions – that won't be seen as a barrier between the city and the water, but a place for urban activity. In case of an event [like Hurricane Sandy in 2012] it will protect the city from flooding."
With a built portfolio that is beginning to speak for itself, a more mature, thoughtful architect is emerging – one that retains a sense of humour while completing the job at hand. The bad jokes and leather jackets may remain, but as Ingels enters his forties, he might just have left the comic-book provocateur behind.

August 14th marked A-level results day, and the commencement of the annual rush to confirm university places and make contingency plans. For a large number of students however the results haven't affected their choices, or their chances, at all.
Results day always yields headline statistics but this year has seen the most significant change for decades, as for the first time since 1982 the overall number of students passing their A-levels dropped, falling 0.1% to 98%. Whilst the number of students receiving an A* grade increased there has also been an across the board fall in the number of students attaining grades A-E. The cause for this decline is believed to be the cancellation of January exam resits, a regulation change that came into effect during the last academic year that has meant students requiring resits are unable to complete their courses until next year. This has led to an expectation that these results mark an adjustment period, with pass rates expected to rise again next August.
The flexibility of the universities in light of the A-level results supports the prediction that more students than ever will attend university this year, with a 3% increase in acceptances across the board. Nearly 400,000 students accepted places on results day alone, including 352,590 who accepted their first choice institution (figures provided by UCAS). When this figure is combined with the number of applicants accepted through clearing it is predicted that over half a million undergraduates will start a degree course in September, a record high.
What this years' admissions show us is that the rising costs of higher education is not deterring people from undertaking university courses – and the A-level results might lead you to think that it's easier to get on to an undergraduate course than ever before.

"The Three Little Pigs and the Last Wolf", is the newest theatre production by THEATRO VESTIARIO Children's Theatre.
Following the huge success of the last two previous Three Little Pigs (The Three Little Pigs and the Wolf Lillykos & The Three Little Pigs and the Trala Lykos), we emerge stronger and truer to our quality, with the third and last part of The Three Little Pigs series. "The Three Little Pigs and the Last Wolf".
Our newest play is based, again on the classic children's tale, by the Brothers Grimm (The Three Little Pigs and The Big Bad Wolf) a fairy tale that has withstood the test of time and that has been loved by all of us, young and old. The characters are whimsical and playful portraying a smart action play that urges you to love them.
With an entirely new storyline of adventure that will keep anyone fixated on the magical forest performance.
A wolf, the last one this time, comes to the forest where the three little pigs reside, looking to – once again – turn the piglets' calm lives upside down. The vendetta between the pigs and the wolf must be solved now! Will it though?
Will the wolf cease to run after the little pigs? Or will the pigs be chasing the wolf this time? Or will the children become the 'hunters' and chase both the wolf and the pigs?
Action and a sense of adventure stars again in this play with laughter being the star of the show.
Professional costumes that fit every character perfectly, entertaining original music, written specifically for this play and hand-created sets that will take you to the little pigs' real life environment.
The adaptation, script, lyrics and direction once again, belong to the talented actor – writer Yiannis Spanos. The music is again written by Vaso Vasileiou and all the choreography by Giorgos Nicolaou.
The sets, props, dolls and masks are prepared, as always by Androulla Empedokleous and the delightful costumesm hand-sewn by Dora Chiotis.
All the photographs were taken by Konstantina Loïzou. And the backing tracks were sung by Antonis Lapithiotis and Andreas Faris (as well as the actors of the play).
Stage Technician – Sound & Light Engineer is Marinos Spanos.
Actors: Yiannis Spanos, Myria Hoplarou, Xanthia Argyrou, Stavros Konstantinou and Aphrodite Spanou - Loïzou.
A wonderful, lively performance with colour, unending action and adventure and constant laughter with our beloved Three Little Pigs who everybody loves to love: Lakis Frantzolakis, Roulla Zymaroulla, Litsa Karamelitsa.

Virgin Australia flight crews told to stop using "mate" in business class
- Jul 25, 2012 9:36 am
While it's lovely to see Richard Branson's employees getting etiquette lessons, you have to wonder why "mate" is still considered acceptable for coach class.
Australian cabin crew are being given etiquette training in the hope that they will stop calling passengers "mate".
The term is popular among Australians as it refers to a revered kinship, or "mateship" that some claim has historical roots.
But Virgin Australia considers the word too informal for dealing with its business class passengers.
The airline is asking flight attendants to complete a course in etiquette, wine-appreciation, grooming and body language, according to a report in the Australian Daily Telegraph.
Staff who have taken the "Elevate" training course will only be allowed to address passengers classified as frequent flyers "mate", if they have specifically asked to be.
The move is apparently in the hope of attracting business passengers from rival airline Qantas.
Mark Hassell, Virgin Australia's group executive of brand and customer experience, said: "We are not creating clones and we are not creating straightjackets for people. We want to retain the spirit that exists within Virgin… but put it in a context that is equally relevant for business-purpose and corporate travellers."
The airline is also remodelling its airport lounges, including removing the pool tables from Melbourne and introducing baristas and buffet food.
Virgin Australia was previously known as Virgin Blue, and last year used Elle Macpherson, the model, to launch its new cabin crew uniforms.

Anger as thugs ransack surgery during break-in
By Aideen O'Flaherty
GP SERVICES in the Mary Mercer Health Centre in Jobstown have been temporarily relocated to Tallaght Cross, as the GP surgery in the centre was ransacked during a break-in in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Nothing was taken during the break-in, however the centre was damaged and it is expected the GP section of the centre will be closed for several days.
The Mary Mercer Health Centre
Dr Tom O'Dowd, a GP who has practised in Mary Mercer since it opened in 2001, told The Echo that the GP surgery in the centre is open on weekday mornings and sees approximately 35 patients come through its doors each day – meaning that over 200 people will be discommoded in the coming days.
Dr O'Dowd, who also practices in Tallaght Cross, told The Echo: "People will be discommoded because of this, and some of them are very vulnerable people."
Commenting on CCTV that was captured during the break-in, Dr O'Dowd added: "It's upsetting to see such wanton disregard for property and patient details, which were left strewn around the floor.
"If anybody in the community knows anything about this, I'd appreciate it if they could tell the gardai.
"I feel bad for all of the people in Jobstown, for whom the centre is a lifeline."
As reported in The Echo last year, the centre was burgled and "substantial damage" was caused over the weekend of Storm Emma, when there was heavy snowfall, and the centre was closed to the public for three days so repairs could be carried out.
Dr O'Dowd said: "People are very upset for us, but we've received huge support from the community."
A garda spokesperson told The Echo: "Gardai are investigating an alleged burglary that occurred in a Service Centre in Tallaght, Dublin 24 on May 4, 2019, between the hours of 3.30 and 4.30am.
"The centre was entered and room ransacked, damage done to centre, no items taken. Investigations are ongoing."
A spokesperson for the HSE was contacted for comment, but a response was not received in time for print.
Anybody who has information that may assist gardai with their investigation is encouraged to contact Tallaght Garda Station on 01 666 6000.

With budget cuts and major challenges, Olympic organizers pull off quite a show.
RIO DE JANEIRO — Oh Rio, you sandbaggers you. For months, even years, we thought you couldn't pull this off. We heard all about your many problems.
And then you give us an opening ceremony for the ages. What's next, a problem-free Olympics?
With a budget that organizers said was 12 times less than London's and 20 times less than Beijing's, the Rio opening ceremony was exquisitely choreographed as a boisterous show, a poignant social statement and a bold challenge to the world.
Who needs money when you have a conscience?
There was a video showing the impact of global warming and the rising oceans, and every athlete marching into Maracana Stadium was given a seed and a cartridge with soil to plant a native tree of Brazil. The athletes then inserted the seeds into tiny slots in mirrored towers, which later formed the five Olympic rings.
That required some serious thought.
Most opening ceremonies talk a good game. Rio walked the walk of social responsibility. In so doing, it became one of the finest opening ceremonies I've seen in the 17 Olympic Games I've covered. Organizers downplayed expectations, reporting a budget of US $55.9 million for the two ceremonies for these Games and two for the Paralympics, total.
With stunning and innovative use of lighting, creating intricate patterns and illusions to tell the story of Brazil, it all was quite breathtaking. Who says you need to spend well over $100 million to put on an opening ceremony?
We're looking at you, Beijing.
You can't go anywhere in the world these days without someone reminding you of Deflategate.
But it was perfect. We're in Brazil after all.
Some moments were not nearly as fun or uplifting. When the Russian team appeared in the entrance to the stadium, boos could be heard. When it was announced to the capacity crowd of about 60,000 moments later, there was a smattering of applause among an otherwise unsettled reception. No nation was welcomed more harshly.
This was fitting. The International Olympic Committee embarrassingly allowed the worst state-sponsored doping machine this side of East Germany to enter these Olympics, and enter they did, 271 Russians out of an original team of 387. That means 70 percent of the Russian team made it to Rio, casting doubt over every event they enter.
But that was one of the lone discordant notes of the evening. The 10-member refugee team received more applause than the United States delegation, which is always a huge favorite — and deservedly so, with only the arrival of the Brazilians greeted more loudly.
There was a lot to cheer at this opening ceremony, where nothing went wrong in Rio, at least for one glorious evening.

NIOSH Testimony on Concrete and Masonry Construction Safety Standards; Lift Slab Construction by R. A. Lemen, November 9, 1988.
This testimony comments on OSHA's proposed rule modification concerning protection for workers in the construction industry. NIOSH suggests that the term lift slab operations be replaced by the more general term of lift slab construction; that the term jacking equipment be replaced by the term lifting system; that the term qualified designer be replaced by the phrase professional engineer or architect. NIOSH also testified that it might be worthwhile to specify a minimum linear horizontal displacement in which the 1/2 inch vertical distortion of the slab may be allowed and suggested that OSHA examine evidence indicating that a safety factor level greater than 2.5 may adequately insure that workers remaining in the structure on lower floors would not be at increased risk. This last consideration would allow employers the option of continuing to allow other trades to work inside a structure under secured floors when lifting or casting is in progress on upper floors.

// Let's assume the CSS for this text run is as follows:
//     font-family: "Heiti SC", Tinos, sans-serif;
// where Tinos is a web font, defined as a composite font, with two sub ranges,
// one for Latin U+00-U+FF and one unrestricted unicode-range.
//
// FontFallbackIterator provides the shaper with Heiti SC, then Tinos of the
// restricted unicode-range, then the unrestricted full unicode-range Tinos, then
// a system sans-serif.
//
// The initial segment 0-2 to the shaper, together with the segmentation
// properties and the initial Heiti SC font. Characters 0-2 are shaped
// successfully with Heiti SC. The next segment, 3-5 is passed to the shaper. The
// shaper attempts to shape it with Heiti SC, which fails for the Combining
// Macron. So the shaping result for this segment would look similar to this.
//
// Glyphpos: 0 1 2 3
// Cluster:  0 0 2 3
// Glyph:    a x a A (where x is .notdef)
//
// Now in the extractShapeResults() step we notice that there is more work to do,
// since Heiti SC does not have a glyph for the Combining Macron combined with an
// a. So, this cluster together with a Todo item for switching to the next font
// is put into HolesQueue.
//
// After shaping the initial segment, the remaining items in the HolesQueue are
// processed, picking them from the head of the queue. So, first, the next font
// is requested from the FontFallbackIterator. In this case, Tinos (for the range
// U+00-U+FF) comes back. Shaping using this font, assuming it is subsetted,
// fails again since there is no combining mark available. This triggers
// requesting yet another font. This time, the Tinos font for the full
// range. With this, shaping succeeds with the following HarfBuzz result:
//
//  Glyphpos 0 1 2 3
//  Cluster: 0 0 2 3
//  Glyph:   a ̄ a A (with glyph coordinates placing the ̄ above the first a)
//
// Now this sub run is successfully processed and can be appended to
// ShapeResult. A new ShapeResult::RunInfo is created. The logic in
// insertRunIntoShapeResult then takes care of merging the shape result into
// the right position the vector of RunInfos in ShapeResult.
//
// Shaping then continues analogously for the remaining Hiragana Japanese
// sub-run, and the result is inserted into ShapeResult as well.

Q: mysql table structure many to many in a database for a forum I have POSTS table and TOPICS table.
Currently the representation of a thread is in the posts table as parent_id field.
a thread (collection of posts) can have many topics and vice versa so it's many2many relationship between threads and topics.
However, there is no "threads" table and it doesn't feel right to create one when the only field is thread id.
On the other hand connecting posts to topics doesn't seem efficient either because the topics are related to a thread, not to a single post...
Any advice will be appreciated.

A: Sounds like what you need is an association table or junction table. Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junction_table

A: Mmm If well then you will need another table maybe post_topic as an example but I don't know if that is going to be good for you there you will have this structure
post-topic
-id autoincrement PK
-pt_post_id FK
-pt_topic_id FK
-pt_thread_description
There you can manage the many to many and haves an unique autoincrement id rmaking reference to the thread and you can reference to both tables topic and posts

The corporate regulator has wound up several companies after finding they owed a combined $410,000 to at least 39 employees.
Using its wind-up powers, ASIC has appointed liquidators to five abandoned companies, according to a statement released this week.
These companies are NISS Technologies Pty Ltd in NSW, Jovawill Pty Ltd in Queensland, Rushci Pty Ltd in WA, Steel Project Services Pty Ltd in NSW and Surat Basin Group Pty Ltd in Queensland.
According to ASIC, abandoned companies are those where directors are unable to discharge their duties, or have abandoned their insolvent companies without first putting them into liquidation.
Appointing liquidators to the companies facilitates access to the government's Fair Entitlements Guarantee scheme. This was launched to provide financial assistance to employees who have unpaid entitlements, or who lose their job due to liquidation or bankruptcy of their employer. You can read more about the scheme here.
"The appointment of liquidators also allows a full and proper investigation into the reasons why the companies failed and may assist the recovery of any voidable or unreasonable director-related transactions," ASIC said in its statement.


There was finally some good news this week about the plight of the honeybees. After more than a decade of alarming declines in bee populations across the United States, a new study released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture offers new hope for honeybees. While the central culprit behind the mysterious deaths of bees (classified as Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD) is yet to be determined, the study found that the number of U.S. honeybees has increased since 2016, and the number of deaths due to CCD decreased by over 25 percent in the same time period.
However, the good news came with some bad. The USDA findings corroborated another recent study by Cornell University's New York State Beekeeper Tech Team that highlighted the most pressing threat to bees at the moment: the varroa mite. The Cornell team found varroa mites in 90 percent of the honey colonies they studied throughout the New York State—and that varroa monitoring is not a common practice among beekeepers in the state.
Cornell's NYS Beekeeper Tech Team also has very useful resources to combat the varroa mite on their website.
should the task be to be a scout—sweet, dancing bee.

So one day, I was making cinnamon rolls,and had a bit of leftover Pesto that I had made a few days beforehand, and, well, sort of put it were the cinnamon and sugar should be.
It works in pretty much the same way, although I do love the prove on this one, as they prove into one another, and resemble a lovely appendage of floury goodness, just in time for tea.
Dip the life out of my Pesto Pinwheels, you know you want too!
1. Add the flour, yeast & salt into a mixing bowl, keeping the yeast & salt apart.
2. Mix it up and then add the water. Bring the mix together into a dough using your hands.
If you have a kitchen aid, insert the mixing bowl and put on the dough hook. Mix for 10mins on full.
3. If you don't have a kitchen aid, put the dough on to a floured surface, kneading for 10mins until the dough is sticky, but doesn't stick to your fingers.
Put the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with a damp tea cloth. Leave to prove for at least 3 hours.
4. Let's make the Pesto. Add all of the ingredients into a blender, and blitz down into a fine paste. Add more oil if it gets too thick.
Pour into a bowl and leave to marry the flavours.
5. After the first prove is over, knock back the dough and put it on a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle.
6. Use a pizza cutter to straighten up the edges. Spread the Pesto all over the dough, ensuring it is evenly covered.
You can put other toppings on at this stage, I believe I put some mozzarella cheese in there with another grating of parmesan.
7. Roll the dough up into a really long sausage. Cut the sausage into 7 pieces and arrange in a round cake tone with one piece directly in the middle.
Leave to prove, covered in that damp tea cloth for 2 hours this time.
Pre- heat your oven to it's hottest setting, for about 45mins.
8. Lift off the tea cloth and you see you have big Pesto bread, in the shape of a cinnamon roll.
Bake for 30mins or until the top and bottom sound hollow to the tap.


This thread is to hear your thoughts on user roles and rights (or are they "permissions"?) redesign in Time Tracker.
1) Users are limited to one group, which is not enough for a mid-size organization.
2) User rights is currently a bit mask. It is obvious that we will run out of bits at some point after introducing more rights.
USER - a regular user in a group without any management rights. Primary function is data entry and viewing own data.
"track_own_time" - can track own time in Time Tracker.
"track_own_expenses" - can track own expenses in Time Tracker.
"view_own_reports" - view own reports.
"view_own_charts" - view own charts.
"view_own_projects" - view assigned project names and their descriptions.
"view_own_tasks" - view tasks for assigned projects and their descriptions.
"manage_own_settings" - edit own settings such as account password.
"view_users" - view user names and roles in a group.
CLIENT - when Clients plugin is enabled, a Client (which is external to a group) can be provided with a login to view own data such as reports, charts, and invoices. Clients do not have the "track_own_time" right but can view what is entered into the system by other users and is associated with a specific client.
"view_client_reports" - view reports for client account.
"manage_own_settings" - edit own settings such as login, password, email, etc.
SUPERVISOR - a person who has a small set of management functions in a group. Has all of USER permissions plus the following.
"track_time" - can track time on behalf of lower roles.
"track_expenses" - can track expenses on behalf of lower roles.
"view_reports" - can view reports for lower roles.
"approve_reports" - can approve reports for lower roles.
"approve_timesheets" - can approve timesheets for lower roles.
"view_charts" - can view charts for lower roles.
"view_own_clients" - view clients assigned to own projects.
"override_punch_mode" - can input any start and finish times for lower roles (not self).
"override_own_punch_mode" - can override punch mode for self.
"override_date_lock" - can override date lock for lower roles.
"override_own_date_lock" - can override date lock for self.
"swap_roles" - succession mechanism, allows a person to swap roles with someone having a smaller role rank and a smaller set of rights.
"update_work" - can update work items in progress.
CO-MANAGER - a person with an extended set of management functions, who is helping a group manager with most of the work. Has all of SUPERVISOR permissions plus the following.
"manage_own_account" - can modify own login, name, and email.
"manage_users" - can add, modify, delete, and assign roles to users with role's rank less than self.
"manage_projects" - full access to project management.
"manage_tasks" - full access to task management.
"manage_custom_fields" - full access to custom field management.
"manage_clients" - full access to client management.
"manage_invoices" - full access to invoice management.
"override_allow_ip" - override access restriction based on IP address in group settings.
"view_all_reports" - can view reports for all members of the group including users with higher rank.
"manage_work" - can create and edit work items and accept bids.
"bid_on_work" - can bid on work items from other groups.
MANAGER - a person with a full set of permissions to a group and the entire tree of its subgroups. Has all of CO-MANAGER permissions plus the following.
"manage_features" - enable or disable plugins (features) for a group.
"manage_basic_settings" - manage basic group settings such as language, currency, date and time formats.
"manage_advanced_settings" - manage advanced group settings such as team name, bcc, plugin options, etc.

"approve_all_reports" - can approve reports for all members of the group including users with higher rank.
"approve_own_timesheets" - can approve own timesheets.
"manage_subgroups" - add, modify, and delete subgroups. Essentially, it gives a capability to create subgroups and assume group manager role in there and all subgroups below.
TOP_MANAGER - intrinsic, non-editable role for a general manager in an organization (root manager) with all possible rights in all groups. Is assigned to a person who creates the organization. Has all MANAGER rights plus the following.
"view_client_unapproved" - a client, when assigned this right, can view unapproved entries in client reports. This right is here for top manager to assign it to a client role when necessary.
"delete_group" - can delete a group and all subgroups.
CUSTOM - a customized role for situations when roles above do not suffice. Having an integer rank, which determines how "manage_users" works for it, if assigned, compared with existing and custom roles. Has an arbitrary collection of permissions as set by group manager. Any number of custom roles can be defined.
"administer_site" - administer a site as a whole.
Changing manager - see "swap_roles" in SUPERVISOR role.

A tree structure will be needed to follow functional supervisor/subordinate authority to determine who is responsible for approving who's time sheet, and to support temporary delegation of authority from a supervisor to a subordinate (e.g. for when a supervisor goes on vacation). It may be convent to always allow a supervisor's supervisor to do anything their subordinate can do (e.g. to approve the subordinate's subordinate's timesheets if the subordinate e.g. called in sick the day timesheets need to be approved.
However, the strategy must also support sideways delegation of authority to a sibling supervisor (if I was, for example, the Electronics Engineering Manager and got the Software Engineering Manager to approve my subordinat's timesheet when I went on vacation).
We are not doing approval workflow now. Approval is separate from roles and permissions.
A group manager can assign roles. So, assuming there are roles for what you need, a manager (or whoever is given the right) can assign / reassign.
To keep this realistic, the scope of this change should be relatively small, as multiple groups alone introduce a significant complication to the existing stuff.
What we need is to design roles nicely, so that we don't have a mess, and there is some flexibility. The current list above is not good enough.
Hi Nik, I agree roles and rights are not directly associated with approval workflow, but I expect approval workflow will take advantage of the underlying roles and rights functionality, so it may be useful to at least consider the two together (or at least that was my line of thinking). Cheers.
I added "approve_timesheets" to the CO-MANAGER collection of permissions and also added some // TODOs to the list - to the parts that look questionable to me at this point.
SUPERVISOR - all of USER plus the following.
"view_users" //if not given to USER above.
"on_behalf_data_entry" - can enter data on behalf of lower roles.
"view_group_data" - can view data for lower roles.
"adjust_time" - can change past time entries for lower roles.
"override_punch_mode" - can input any start and finish times for lower roles.
"adjust_own_time" - can change own past time entries.
"override_own_punch_mode" - can input any start and finish times for themselves.
"manage_users" - //should only be able to mod/del users below them. should also be able to assign user roles lower then there own.
"manage_client_users" - can assign client roles and manage users with client roles.
MANAGER - all of CO-MANAGER plus the following.
"manage_group_settings" //maybe group settings should be on there own page?
Any role that has "data_entry" is a user role. any role that does not is a client role.
A user role can view there own time data. Can be assigned by the "manage_users" right.
I also think that the options in the config file should be moved to the admin panel. As well as the "Clean up DB from inactive teams" option form dbinstall.php.
"administer_site" - marks the role as and admin role and not a team role so they go to the admin panel on login.
"manage_teams" - add, modify and delete teams as the admin panel does now.
"import_teams" - can import teams form other Time Tracker sites. // maybe have a check box to enable/disable this per CO-ADMIN?
ADMIN - all of CO-ADMIN plus the following.
"manage_admins" - add, modify, delete CO-ADMINS.
"manage_site_settings" - modify global settings form the admin panel.
"cleanup_db" - use the "Clean up DB from inactive teams" option on the admin panel.
Thanks for the input. I edited the list to include some suggestions.
Instead of having each custom role based on a default role, you can let the manager assign a "rank" value to each role. Then just compare that value. The default roles should be editable per team as well. Maybe the default roles should just be what is filled in to a team's custom role table upon team creation and are treated the same as custom roles. Maybe also rename USER to MEMBER? And just wondering, where did "view_users" go?
Also, we can worry about the admin stuff after the team role stuff is done, i just put it in there as something to think about.
I also think that you should have "edit_basic_settings" and "edit_advanced_settings" but give them both to manager by default, just to have more flexibility with custom roles.
Maybe the way teams and managers are associated is what needs rethinking. Maybe make it so a manager can transfer management. And allow an admin to force a transfer as well.
That is why there should be multiple admin accounts.
I added some more permissions to the list and also some // TODOs, but apparently, the entire thing needs more reviews and adjustments.
Maybe have a system of succession where a manager can mark a Co manager and if the manager does not login for x days IE Dead than there roles will auto swap. Also if nobody has access to an admin account then they have bigger problems.
Could there be a SuperManager that could have the manager's rights but for multiple teams without being an admin?

That is what MANAGER role already has: "manage_subgroups" - add, modify, and delete subgroups. Essentially, it gives a capability to create subgroups and assume group manager role in there and all subgroups below.
In theory, create a tree for the entire org and manage it using one manager account for a top group.

The Madison Regatta is run on the Ohio River in Madison, Indiana. The city of Madison has hosted the Unlimited Race annually since 1954 and offers great views of the most spectacular race boats in the world from the river's banks. Fans also have access to the pits and to the drivers as well as activities for the whole family. It is great way to celebrate the holiday weekend. They also offer RV, Camping and VIP Tickets for the best viewing experience.
The town also owns and actively campaigns a race boat, Miss Madison/Oberto, on the entire circuit. The race inspired a 1999 Hollywood motion picture titled Madison starring actor Jim Caviezel, which documented the 1971 season in which the Miss Madison won the APBA Gold Cup race held in their hometown.
The Madison Courier covers the entire H1 Unlimited circuit in detail and has been honored by H1 Unlimited in 2012 and 2013 for the Best Seasonal Print Coverage.

The 50th Anniversary of the Tri-City Water Follies will truly be a "Golden" event, as they have the honor of hosting the American Power Boat Association Gold Cup. The Gold Cup is the oldest active trophy in motor sports and was was first awarded in 1904 as the APBA Challenge Cup. Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, WA) has hosted the Gold Cup four times, the last being in 1984. This is the first time the Gold Cup has been held at a race site other than Detroit since 1990. Along with the added prestige of hosting the cup, fans will be treated to additional heat racing (4 heats vs. 3) and more laps per heat (5 laps vs. 3). It all means that the HAPO Gold Cup will provide more action on the water for the fans on this special 50th anniversary event.
