When you have to deal with many people of different needs, likes and personal obligations/limitations, it takes ages to come up with a plan that satisfies everyone and be fair at the same time. An automated shift creator would be truly useful and time saving.
You could start with entering each person's limitations and preferences and then add some general schema rules (etc. have at least two consequent free days in a month, equal amount of morning/night shifts for all team members, a person's shift change to have at least X amount of time between - not have a morning shift after a night one, ...i can give you a ton of options....).
Move date of a shift instead of having to copy / paste it to another day.
Does it flag or notifies if it exceeds the averaging time?


Local associations, clubs, and organizations are the lifeblood that give meaning to the term 'community.' They bring people together to build a stronger network of engaged, informed citizens for a common purpose, whether that's gardening, the arts, forwarding an interest in and sharing a love of sports, working with children, feeding the hungry, or building parks.
The Mount Dora Citizen is presenting a "how-to-join" series on some of the wonderful groups that have made Mount Dora tick over the years. Whether you are new to town or have lived here for years, there are always new people to meet and new things to learn in Mount Dora. Kiwanis Club of Mount Dora is a fun way to share new experiences and get to know your neighbors. It's a way to get connected while you also help to build a brighter future for our community's children.
Members of the Mount Dora Kiwanis Club enjoying some social time at Lake Receptions before their weekly meeting.
First up – the Mount Dora Kiwanis Club.
First, know that guests are welcome to attend club meetings – so you can take the Kiwanis Club for a test ride before you commit. The Kiwanis Club of Mount Dora meets every Thursday at Lake Receptions. Luncheon and social time begins at 11:30. The weekly Kiwanis meeting begins at noon. A luncheon is provided to members and guests for $12. (The purchase of the lunch isn't mandatory.) Meetings generally run until 1:00 and include topics about club business and a guest speaker. So you're thinking of making a first visit; you think you might have an interest in joining? The Club will buy you your first lunch, while you consider!
Who is Kiwanis Club of Mount Dora?
The Kiwanis Club of Mount Dora is one of about 8,000 clubs worldwide dedicated to the objective of volunteering – dedicated to changing the world, one child and one community at a time. The Club's 80 or so members give their time and effort to make our local community a better place to live, primarily by tending to the needs of the children – who are, after all, the future. The members are your neighbors, some of the ones who volunteer, who help out whenever there is a need. Although the Club meets in Mount Dora, and is named for the city, approximately a third of it's members call a surrounding community home. It is the commitment to serve that brings them together, not their proximity.
A great way to "Get Connected" in Mount Dora is by becoming a member of a club or organizations like Kiwanis Club of Mount Dora. Board Members are pictured here.
Kiwanis' primary focus is helping children, and their programs cover the gamut from pre-natal care through provision of college scholarships. They support Kiwanis International's effort to eliminate neonatal tetanus by vaccinating 100 million potential mothers in poor countries, thereby preventing 60,000 deaths each year.
The club sponsors the local Head Start, and provides reading materials and other programs to disadvantaged pre-K students. They assist all ages at Triangle Elementary School with the "BUG" (Bringing Up Grades) program, and by staffing the school's Manatee Store (school supplies). The Kiwanis Club of Mount Dora also initiated a program to stock the Nurses' station with new underwear for children to use in case of emergencies. All third and fourth grade students receive dictionaries and thesauruses through Kiwanis. The Club provides mentors to the Mount Dora Middle School. At the high school, they sponsor the Key Club, the Mount Dora Kiwanis Invitational track meet, and most memorably, each year we award over $15,000 in college scholarships to deserving seniors. They work closely with the W. T. Bland Public Library on both their Easter-Egg hunt and Halloween programs. Each week the Club donates a book to the library in the name of the speaker at that week's meeting. They annually invite the chosen "Teachers of the Year" to lunch and present each one with a special honorarium. The Club contributes both funding and volunteer time to the local robotics club, Adopt-a-Child at Christmas, and Lake Cares Food Pantry. Somehow, they also find time to help clean up the highway and the lake front.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from Kiwanis fundraisers are given back to the community. All club administrative expenses are covered by separate contributions from our members.

My Little Tots have collected many, many leaves this week. Although leaves are great to put in autumn treasure baskets for little hands to explore, they quickly dry out and disintegrate so thankfully I have managed to preserve a few by laminating them so we could have learning fun with leaves.
This activity also ties in nicely with this week's Kids Virtual Book Club featured book Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert and this weeks theme of leaves.
I'm pretty sure laminators aren't designed to have leaves put through them but my trusty little one seemed to cope ok!
Once laminated, I cut around the leaves and selected the 10 largest ones of the same type and used the sharpie to mark the numbers 1 – 10 on them.
The first activity we did was to arrange the numbered leaves in order from 1 – 10. Next I shouted a number and Georgia had to find it. We also placed them on the floor and she had to jump on the number that I shouted out.
We also used them for some simple maths such as "what is 2 + 1?". There is so many ways to use these leaves to reinforce number recognition and sequencing and it was fun to use real leaves rather that print outs like I have done in the past.
This was Georgia's favourite activity and she spent a long time debating which leaves should go in which colour pile as some of them had multiple colours.
We ended up sorting them into brown, yellow, green and red piles with a few that were placed in between as we couldn't decide where they belonged.
Sorting the leaves by type was a little more tricky as some of them we weren't quite sure of. This was a great opportunity to discuss the different shapes and patterns on the leaves to try and work out which ones belonged together.
Lastly I asked Georgia to order a group of leaves that she had already sorted-by-type by their size.
Some of the leaves didn't laminate very well and left big air pockets, mostly around the stems, so next time I'll definitely make sure these are all removed.
Maths – number recognition, counting to 10, talking about sizes and patterns, simple maths.
Understanding the world – why do leaves change colour/fall from the trees etc.

I just started as seasonal help this past week and went to my store Friday evening to buy groceries so I could take advantage of my discount. However, the computer rejected my check, so I wasn't able to use my discount. Does anyone know why it did that?
How large was the purchase? And also is this your first check with Target, secondly have you been using your checks a lot in the past few days?
If it's a new check or you haven't paid with a check in a long time then Target will reject it.
Call the 1-800 number that was printed on the back of the check. Most likely, the cashier entered your driver's license number wrong.
As some of the others are saying you can't write large checks (Normally $200+) if you haven't before. You need to build up a check writing history first which I think is kinda dumb. Whenever I have this happen to guests I have them write smaller checks around $125-$150 but that is also a gamble because the system might flag for to many checks written before you get the total covered.
There are lots of small reasons.
- You wrote a large check within a time period, and it hasn't cleared yet.
- You may have to get a couple pay checks before large checks can be authorized.

Link building is one of the more difficult tasks a website owner or seo will need to tackle on their way to a high ranking site. Luckily there are a ton of tools out there that make the job quite a bit easier. Let's take a look.
Until there are some major changes in the search engine algorithms, looking at a site's backlinks is going to be one of the best ways of answering some very important questions. How did that site get its rankings? Why was my site penalized? Studying the backlinks of a site can often offer great insights that will help you answer those questions.
Link Analysis – Firefox extension that gives you more link data when using Google Webmaster Tools and Yahoo! Site Explorer.
Bad Neighborhood – This tool will scan the links on a website, and on the pages that the website is linking to, and flag indicators of linking to possible bad neighborhoods.
Link Diagnosis – Scans a site to give you pagerank, anchor text and no-follow info on its backlinks. Additionally, it uses the data to create Most Popular Anchor, Pagerank Distribution and Link Types reports.
Link Harvester – Web based tool that uses the Yahoo! API to return unique linking domains, IP addresses & unique c block addresses of links, and links from .gov, .mil, .edu, or .ac.uk domains. It will also bold and autocheck domains that link from 5 or more pages.
Backlink Analyzer – Similar to Link Harvester, with the exception that it is downloadable software, does anchor text analysis, and you can grab backlink data from Google and MSN in addition to Yahoo.
Seo Toolbar – A great full featured toolbar for Seo that includes tons of link data, such as links to the domain, links to the page, whether or not the site is in important directories (Dmoz, Yahoo and BOTW) and the number of .edu and .gov links.
Seo for Firefox – Grab the same data as the Seo Toolbar without having to deal with yet another toolbar. Seo for Firefox allows you to use a right click content menu instead.
Find a competitors webpage that's ranking for a query you are working on and run a backlink analysis on it. You can then contact the sites linking to them and use your linkbuilder charms to convince them to link to you.
Run a backlink check on your own website and look for anything that has been overdone, such as similar anchor text, and may cause an over optimization penalty.
Run a blacklink check on your website and make note of any sites that link to you with un-optimized anchor text. You can then email them and try to get them to change the anchor text to the term you are going for. Just make sure you don't do this with all the links because the over optimization can come back to bite you.
Link Search – A big help when using search operators to find link opportunities.
Roboform – Really speeds things up when filling out forms to request links or submitting to directories.
Nofollow Display – Greasemonkey script that highlights links that are using Nofollow.
HTTP Header Checker – Now that you can use Nofollow in the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, it's a good idea to check it and make sure that the link actually passes link juice.

Die Tagbanuwa (oder Tagbanwa) leben in der philippinischen Provinz Palawan. Sie gehören zu den ältesten Stämmen auf den Philippinen.

Es werden zwei Gruppen unterschieden:
 Zentral-Tagbanuwa leben in den Küstengebieten Zentral-Palawans in den Gemeinden Aborlan, Quezon und Puerto Princesa
 Calamian-Tagbanuwa leben auf Baras, Busuanga, Coron und einigen Teilen von El Nido
Beide Gruppen sprechen unterschiedliche Sprachen und zeigen auch Unterschiede im Brauchtum.

Laut Zensus 2000 zählt der Stamm ungefähr 10.000 Angehörige.

Die Tagbanuwa leben in beständigen Dorfgemeinschaften und leiten ihren Namen ab von taga = von und banuwa = Dorf ab. Zum Schutz ihrer Lebensweise wurde 1998 das Coron Island Protected Area eingerichtet. Sie gehören zum südostasiatischen Ethnotyp, sind mit der austronesischen Sprachgemeinschaft assoziiert und verfügen über eine einzigartige Silbenschrift, die 1999 von der UNESCO zu den "Erinnerungen der Menschheit" deklariert wurde (siehe Tagbanuwa-Schrift). Diese Schriftart steht im Zusammenhang mit einem poetischen Stil, der auf die Anzahl von Silben in einer Zeile basiert.

Das Eboardmuseum besteht aus einer Sammlung elektronischer Tasteninstrumente. Es befindet sich im Zentrum der österreichischen Großstadt Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. Es wurde im Jahr 1987 vom Mathematiklehrer, Musiker und Techniker Gert Prix gegründet. Das Museum war in seiner Geschichte mehrmals an unterschiedlichen Standorten einquartiert. Im Jahr 2007 zog das Museum schließlich in eine Halle an der Südseite des Klagenfurter Messegeländes um. Es gilt heute als das weltweit größte seiner Art.
Im Jahr 2010 wurde dem Eboardmuseum das Österreichische Museumsgütesiegel verliehen. Seit März 2021 ist das Museum Partner von Google Arts & Culture.

Museumsbetrieb

Auf einer Fläche von 2.000 m² zeigt das Eboardmuseum derzeit ca. 2.000 Exponate.

Sein Schwerpunkt liegt auf elektronischen Tasteninstrumenten, die die gesamte Entwicklungsgeschichte elektronischer Keyboards darstellen, beginnend mit dem Hammond-Modell A aus dem Jahr 1935 bis hin zu aktuellen Synthesizern wie dem Moog Minimoog Voyager.

Unter den Exponaten befinden sich zahlreiche Prototypen und Unikate (Hohner Clavinet, Rhodes Piano, Mellotron und andere) sowie Originalinstrumente von diversen Weltstars wie Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake & Palmer), Rick Wakeman (Yes), Geoff Downes (Asia), Peter Wolf (Frank Zappa), Tangerine Dream, Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep), Dave Greenslade (Colosseum), Eddie Hardin (Spencer Davis Group), King Crimson, George Duke, Ray Charles, Opus oder Grateful Dead. Auch Instrumente von Stars aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum wie Maria Bill, Udo Jürgens, No Bros, Franco Andolfo, Eric Spitzer-Marlyn, Peter Cornelius, Ralph Siegel oder Wolfgang Ambros haben im Eboardmuseum eine Heimat gefunden.

Außergewöhnlich für ein Instrumentenmuseum ist, dass die ausgestellten Instrumente nicht nur in Führungen präsentiert werden, sondern von Besuchern auch selbst bespielt werden dürfen. Profimusiker und Musikliebhaber aus aller Welt nehmen diese Möglichkeit regelmäßig gerne wahr. Auch viele internationale Sample-Libraries haben ihren Ursprung im Eboardmuseum.

Die Bibliothek des Museums enthält Literatur zu den Themen Elektronische Musik mit dem Schwerpunkt Keyboards sowie Popmusik und Popkultur.

Das Eboardmuseum bietet in seinen Führungen auch Nicht-Musikern oder Kindern einen unterhaltsamen, familienfreundlichen Ausflug in die Welt der Musik.

Veranstaltungen
Das Eboardmuseum veranstaltet jährlich etwa 50 Live-Konzerte. Der im Museum integrierte Veranstaltungsbereich ist mit Sofas möbliert und bietet Wohnzimmeratmosphäre.

Trotz des eher geringen Fassungsvermögens des Veranstaltungsbereiches treten hier immer wieder weltbekannte Musiker auf, die sich von der ungewöhnlichen "Location" angezogen fühlen, wie z. B. Carl Palmer (Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Asia), Ian Paice (Deep Purple), Peter Ratzenbeck, Brian Auger, Wolfgang Ambros, Alex Ligertwood (Santana), Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep), Hans Theessink, Barbara Dennerlein, Nick Simper (Deep Purple) oder Waterloo & Robinson. Das bisherige und das künftige Programm sind auf der Website des Eboardmuseums dokumentiert.

Servicebereich
Offen geführte Werkstätten erlauben den Besuchern, den Museumstechnikern bei ihrer Arbeit zuzusehen und gestatten Einblicke in das Innenleben der Instrumente.

The Top 12 artists sang songs that were personal to them on "The Voice" Monday night. Who did you think was best among the dozen contenders? Do you have a favorite to win the Season 14 championship in a few weeks? Which one will be eliminated on the results show Tuesday night and who will join them in the bottom fighting for a social media instant save?
Read our complete analysis of the episode for Monday, April 23. Also enjoy our our live summary recaps of last week's bloodbath as 24 artists were whittled down to 12: Monday, April 16, Tuesday, April 17 and Wednesday, April 18.
8:00 p.m. – Pryor Baird topped all contestants on the iTunes chart for Monday night's performances, followed closely by Brynn Cartelli, Kyla Jade and Britton Buchanan. Bringing up the rear were Sharane Calister, D.R. King and Rayshunn LaMarr, who all failed to crack the top 200 songs. Will they be also be the bottom three in America's vote, forcing them to face off for the first instant save of Season 14? Let's find out!
8:05 p.m. – Carson Daly kicked things off announcing a special "Happy Birthday!" to Kelly. He also noted that Britton was the most streamed artist on Apple music, despite not topping the sales chart. It sounds like tonight should be smooth sailing for the 18-year old. The first three artists announced as safe are: Britton (Team Alicia), Brynn (Team Kelly) and Sharane (Team Adam). The first two were no-brainers, but I'm glad to see Sharane live to fight another day after struggling on the charts.
8:13 p.m. – Team Kelly is joining forces to perform "Don't Take the Money" with Coach in tow. Kelly allowed her team members to kick things off before she joined them on stage and blew them all out of the water. Awkward moments ensued as D.R. went way off key and Kaleb spoke an entire line instead of singing. This wasn't the best showcase for Team Kelly, but at least they appeared to be having fun on stage.
8:15 p.m. – Time for more results! The next two artists who are safe are: Pryor (Team Blake) and Christiana (Team Alicia). No surprises there!
8:25 p.m. – Coach Adam brought his band Maroon 5 along tonight to perform their new hit, "Wait." It's a mid-tempo jam that doesn't call for much energy on stage, and there's not. There doesn't seem to be any climax to this song. It looks like Kelly knows all the words already as she sings along, haha. She makes me laugh.

Cybage Inaugurates its New Office in GIFT City, Gandhinagar
The 300-seater facility adds to the development centers of Cybage catering exclusively to the growing talent pool in Gujarat.
Cybage, a leader in technology consulting and product engineering, recently announced the establishment of its latest state-of-the-art facility in Gujarat.

Today in history: On June 26, 1807, lightning strikes a gunpowder factory in Luxembourg, killing more than 300 people. Lightning strikes are deadly — 73 people die annually in the United States, and there are 8 million to 9 million strikes each day across the world — but usually, it's only one person at a time. The Luxembourg disaster still is believed to most deadly in history. Two blocks were destroyed in southern Kirchberg and fires were started by the explosion at a fortress used as an armory.

Bergen To Get World's Longest Cycle Tunnel
July 18, 2019 by David Nikel
Home » Explore Norway » Bergen » Bergen To Get World's Longest Cycle Tunnel
More than 100 cameras will be used to prevent crime in the world's longest cycle and pedestrian tunnel set to open in Bergen in 2023.
Blasting work has started on building the longest bicycle and pedestrian tunnel in the world. The 2.9km cycle and pedestrian tunnel through the Løvstakken mountain will run parallel to the new light rail line linking Fyllingsdalen with Bergen city centre.
Upgrading an escape tunnel
In fact, it's actually the escape tunnel for the new light rail that will serve dual purpose as the new cycle/pedestrian tunnel. It will cost an additional NOK 500 million to upgrade the tunnel from an emergency service to one that can be used daily. The current coalition government has confirmed the state will pick up half the tab for the tunnel.

Today cyclists must travel from Fyllingdalen via Melkeplassen or Bønes to Bergen city center. The tunnel will shorten the cycling distance to central Bergen by about 5.5km, saving around 20 minutes.

Psychologists an important part of the project
There aren't just civil engineers and finance people working on this project. "Finding good and safe solutions has been a huge challenge. To feel that one is safe in a 3km-long tunnel is about more than whether the facility itself is safe," said Ole Wilhelm Mortensen from Bybanen Utbygging.
To help with this, an architectural psychologist played an important role in the planning stage. He considered what measures can give the tunnel users the best possible experience inside the mountain. Cyclists will spend approximately nine minutes inside the tunnel, but for pedestrians that rises to around 40 minutes.
As a result, two "rooms" will be excavated to provide natural breaks, similar to what can be found in the Lærdal road tunnel.
In addition, the project team discussed at length measures to reduce the risk of crime in the tunnel.

Bybanen Utbygging plans to place around 100 surveillance cameras in the tunnel, placed at regular intervals. There will also be SOS phones in place. "It is essential to create a design that reduces the likelihood of such things taking place. It's alsso important to have surveillance so that if anything does happen, it will be filmed and documented," said Mortensen.
It has not yet been decided whether the tunnel will be open at night, during the hours that the light rail does not operate.
Bergen's light rail extension
Bergen's light rail system opened in 2010 and currently consists of just one line. The original route between the city centre and Lagunen has been extended twice. A short extension to Nesttun opened in 2013, while the line has served Bergen airport since 2017. The expansion underway is one of several that have been talked about in recent years.
The new line will run southwards from the city centre, east of the current line. It will serve Haukeland University Hospital, which is the biggest employer in western Norway, before intersecting with the original line at Kronstad and continuing through the new tunnel to Fyllingsdalen. The terminus will be at the Oasen shopping centre.
Bergen's light rail
In total, the stretch is about 9km long, of which 4km will be in tunnels. Total travel time along the new line will be approximately 18 minutes. The total construction budget is set at NOK 7.1 billion, of which just over one billion is for the Løvstakken tunnels project.
The work on the two tunnels between Oasen and Kristianborg will run in parallel. Both the light rail tunnel and the combined walkway / bicycle tunnel are due to be completed in early 2023.

In November, while visiting the headquarters of the U.S. Army in Europe, I received a briefing on the performance of the Russian army in Ukraine. In a perfunctory tone, the young intelligence briefer recited the details of the July 2014 Battle of Zelenopillya, in which a single Russian artillery "fire strike" almost destroyed two Ukrainian mechanized battalions in a few minutes.

Tusks come in all shapes and sizes and there is a strong hereditary component to their appearance. Tusk configuration, shape and length can be helpful in identifying elephants. Remember, though, that tusks grow, change shape, break and re-grow surprisingly rapidly. If an elephant has recently broken a tusk it is likely not to be coded into the database. If you select shorter tusk and are not able to find the elephant you are looking for, try broken tusk as that may have been coded in.
If you don't find the elephant you are looking for, try searching without selecting a tusk feature. To search for elephants using tusk shape it is useful to know what these terms mean. To learn more about different tusk characteristics click on the screenshot above right, or on one of the links to photos below. You will then start a slideshow - the caption shown is equal to respective text on this page. You can go through slide by slide - or let it run through automatically. Learn more about elephants - enjoy!

On November 1, 2018, Day of the Dead, the walking tour guide company Boroughs of the Dead (now in its fifth year of business), held a wreath ceremony in Washington Square Park. As tour guides with a special interest in the macabre, strange, and forgotten histories of New York City, it can be troubling for us that many of New York City's former potter's fields (many of which are now park areas e.g. Washington Square Park, Bryant Park, etc.) are unacknowledged as such. The term "potter's field"
