There isn't a lot of good data coming out of North Korea, but I thought the following charts would be of interest. USA and Mexico included for comparison. In case you don't know, the South Korea = Republic of Korea, North Korea = Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Shahrukh Khan summoned by Jaipur court for smoking in public
Shahrukh Khan has been summoned by the additional chief judicial magistrate's court in Jaipur for smoking in a stadium during an IPL match. The actor who is also the co-owner of the IPL team – Kolkata Knight Riders was present at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur on April 8 to cheer for his team. According to reports, the complaint was filed by Mr Anand Singh Rathore who runs a cricket academy for youngsters. Mr Rathore complains stated that SRK is an idol and his fans tend to copy him. When seen smoking in public it sends a wrong message to his young fans. If the charge against the star is proven, SRK will have to shell out a nominal fee of Rs 500. But is that enough? What do you think?

Shahrukh Khan promises to quit smoking post 'RA.One'
Smoking may have been banned in showbiz but most actors pursue the habit without a thought. Be it Ajay Devgn, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan or Shahrukh Khan they have all promised to quit the habit sometime or the other, but only Shahrukh Khan has stepped forward to make the promise with a date. While that came as a shock to many, SRK explains his decision. The actor says that he will quit smoking after the release of his ambitious project, RA.One. Incidentally, the film has a scene where the actor talks about the ill-effects of smoking. It is a conversation between dad and son. In real life too his children are against their father smoking and have often pleaded SRK against it. Taking it seriously the actor promises at a promotional event that he will quit smoking. Although we don't believe him entirely, but for his sake we hope he quits!

UAE holding Qatari 'agents' for questioning, says report
Abu Dhabi, July 10, 2014
The UAE is holding suspected Qatari intelligence agents for questioning on their activities in the UAE, reported an Emirati newspaper, in a case that could further damage ties between the two Gulf allies.
Relations between the UAE and Qatar have deteriorated sharply in recent months over Doha's support for Islamists, who are seen by the rest of the US-allied Gulf oil exporters as a threat to their stability.
A Qatari newspaper reported earlier this week that UAE authorities had detained and subjected to torture three Qatari citizens who were on holiday in the country.
On its front page the Arabic-language al-Khaleej newspaper dismissed the assertion that those arrested were tourists, quoting unnamed sources as saying that authorities were holding "Qatari intelligence elements operating on UAE soil."
"They are currently undergoing questioning," the privately owned newspaper, one of the oldest in the UAE, said, without giving further details.
Qatari officials declined to comment on the report. UAE officials made no immediate comment.
In March, in the biggest public display to date of the rift between Qatar and its Gulf neighbours, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain recalled their ambassadors from the country, accusing Doha of failing to abide by an accord not to interfere in each others' internal affairs.
Analysts said the dispute was over Qatar's support for the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist movement whose ideology challenges the principle of conservative dynastic rule long dominant in the Gulf.
Qatar made no direct comment on the earlier report that its citizens had been detained, but in an apparent allusion to the case, the Foreign Ministry said on its Twitter account earlier this week that the state "did not abandon its sons and was taking all measures through legal and diplomatic channels."
"What happened is just a reflection of the very tense relationship between Qatar and the UAE, and (one should) expect more things like this to happen in the near future," an Arab diplomat in Doha told Reuters.
"But what Qatar is trying to do now is contain the situation and resolve these problems quietly because it can't afford the fuss and more negative repercussions."
To the dismay of its Gulf neighbours, Qatar supported Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-led government elected after the ousting of long-time autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Doha provided financial and political assistance until the Islamist President Mohamed Mursi was ousted in an army coup last July.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE also particularly resent Doha's sheltering of prominent Islamist preacher Youssef al-Qaradawi, a critic of the two states' rulers, and his regular air time on Qatar's pan-Arab satellite channel Al Jazeera and on Qatari state television.
In March, the UAE sentenced a Qatari physician to seven years in jail after he was convicted of supporting Islah, an Islamist group banned by authorities.
Since their public spat in March, the four Gulf states have agreed on steps to try to heal the rift, but so far neither Saudi Arabia, Bahrain nor the UAE have returned their ambassadors to Doha.-Reuters

The Race to Build More Federally Funded Health Centers in New Jersey
Capacity is already a concern, healthcare reform is only expected to exacerbate it.
New Jersey's federally qualified health centers are very busy places -- understandably so, given that most of their patients are either uninsured or on Medicaid. But for Kathy Grant Davis, president of the New Jersey Primary Care Association, current capacity is only one of her concerns. She is looking to 2014, when federal healthcare reform will drive up the number of patients who rely on FQHCs.
In order to serve that growing population, Davis plans on opening another 30 FQHC locations. But Davis said keeping the expansion on track will hinge in large measure on New Jersey winning more federal money.
Currenlty New Jersey's 20 federaly qualified health centers operate 105 sites that deliver medical care to more than 400,000 patients statewide. That number is expected to surge above 500,000 when the Affordable Care Act expands Medicaid eligibility and brings subsidized health coverage to many of the state's low- and moderate-income residents.
New Jersey's FQHC expansion was launched in 2011 and approved by the federal government, Davis said. But federal money to fund new centers is disbursed through a competitive process among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Last year 900 proposed centers applied for funding; 70 were approved. New Jersey landed funding for one new center in Hackettstown, Davis said.
"We have to compete with Mississippi and Alaska and Louisiana for funding," Davis said. "Competition for those dollars is extremely tough." The federal government provides $650,000 a year for operating expense. Centers also are reimbursed by Medicaid New Jersey FamilyCare, the state's expansion of Medicaid. The centers also do fundraising to cover their operating budgets.
Davis said she is continuing to pursue the expansion plan, "and we hope that when the federal government announces a new round of grants, that we'll be more successful."
Freehold and Somerset are among the places new centers are being proposed, Davis said. Currently there are no FQHC sites in Somerset County, but because the county as a whole is fairly affluent, the center may not get federal funding. "But we know there are pockets where there is a need," she said. "So we are still moving ahead with our plan," to launch an FQHC in Somerset.
Operating expenses are only part of a center's economic profile. Building a new facility or renovating a site requires "low-interest financing, tax credits, whatever it might be, to make sure you have the capital to expand," Davis said. In addition, the sites are fairly large (more capital expenses), because to quality as an FQHC, the federal government requires a range of services, including pediatrics, internal medicine, behavioral health, and dentistry. "You can't do that with four exam rooms; we push them to make sure they have adequate space when they open a site."
A new study by the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy suggests that patients who are now getting their medical care at FQHCs and clinics are likely to continue to do so in 2014. The study, which used data from another study funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, found that in 2009 about 6 percent of the state's nonelderly adult population used community health centers, such as FQHCs, or community or hospital clinics.
Co-authors Kristin Lloyd, and Dorothy Gaboda, found that this population was three times as likely to be poor or near-poor, and reported more health problems overall, than those who sought care from individual doctors or group medical practices. Lloyd said the study found that a significant number who use community health centers and clinics expressed a preference for these healthcare providers. So when health coverage expands in 2014, these patients may seek more services from FQHCs and clinics, she said.
Understandably, Davis shares this view. What concerns her at this point is getting new sites up and running in time to care for the increased patient population.

Jupiter Island Beach - this gives a feel for the area where he is meant to be moving to. Photo by drexelpike
People want to know about the Tiger Woods house. It is understandable that they want to know. The house people are talking about is the one he is having built on South Beach Road, Jupiter Island, Florida (Dec. 2009: but will it proceed now? This post was written in December 2009. It is still good ;)). He owns several, however. Of course he would very much like to keep it absolutely private for security and privacy reasons. It is claimed that Tiger Woods lives in the Orlando, Florida community of Isleworth (src: Snopes.com). This appeared to be incorrect to me but it is correct as at Nov. 2009 - see below. The Orlando area is where the great retired golfer Arnold Palmer lives. At the base of the page, I have embedded a map of the Orlando area and of the area where the Tiger Woods House is meant to be.
Isleworth is west of Orlando and is a suburb (on the face of it) of Palm Harbour west of Tampa. This area is not exclusive enough for Tiger Woods. Or am I wrong? A comment that was made by an anonymous person on the 1st May 2009 says this:
Your info about Tiger is incorrect. He does live right here in Orlando in the Isleworth community. Its about 2 miles from my house. I see him quite often as my wife and his wife use the same hair dresser. He does have a place in Jupiter beach and will make that his primary home in a couple of years.
At Nov. 09 he is still living in Isleworth as he has been in the news in the wrong kind of way. I guess that the new house on Jupiter Island is still being built. His home in Isleworth is worth about $2.5m apparently. A kind of temporary residence while the main one is being built (will it now? - Dec 2009). It is said to be in Windermere area of Isleworth. In fact he has two house there. The other house is now occupied by his wife who moved out of the matrimonial home due to his marital infidelity with, is it 9 women (?) and counting Dec.2009.
Note: Please respect the privacy of Mr and Mrs Tiger Woods and children. People do want to know and he is in the public eye but he and his family deserves and has the right to privacy when at or near home. Mr Woods likes his privacy. Update Dec. 2009 Tiger has forfeit his right to privacy in having affairs and in building his reputation on being squeaky clean when he is very grubby indeed.
Above:Jupiter Island – Below: Part of the Windermere region on the Isleworth Community:
Please read on. Before I discuss further the Tiger Woods house, I need to justify why I am discussing all this on a site about cats. Well, the obvious answer, really, is his name. His name is unusual and very appropriate. His full name is Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods. "Tont" is a Thai name. Tiger Woods is 25% Chinese, 25% Thai, 25% African American, 12.5% Native American, and 12.5% Dutch. Maybe this amalgam is partly why his is so strong mentally and physically. In the cat fancy it is called hybrid vigor!
Tiger's father was in the army and he gave a Vietnamese soldier friend of his the nickname "Tiger". In return this person, Vuong Dang Phong, gave the same name to Eldrick Woods. The nickname is now better described as an additional middle name or his christian or first name. Tiger is a Buddhist, by the way.
OK, back to the Tiger Woods house. There are no pictures I am sure. There are tons of pictures of a very glamorous beach front home. The website Snopes.com start the page by saying:
Claim: Photographs show the beachfront home of golfer Tiger Woods.
Note the word claim. This is followed by tons of photographs of a home that is not as far as I am aware remotely connected to Tiger Woods (but is it, see below?)! Here is one of the pictures:
I understand the photo above to be copyright free but I won't reproduce a pile of them as there is no point. The house looks more like it is situated in Hawaii or some such place. Also the pictures have undoubtedly been taken by a real estate agent to sell or rent the property and he would not be able to release them if it was the Tiger Woods house. However, the real home is a waterfront home (src: Telegraph UK).
Update: Dec 2009: Here is a picture by a Flickr photographer (by Phil Romans) of what is supposed to be Tiger Woods house in Maui, Hawaii 96790, USA. Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands.
Is this the outside picture of the
interior pictures of the house above?
The search continues for his new house. It is, by the way, interesting to note that the Tiger Woods Foundation (his charitable foundation to help children) is located in Irvine, California. Tiger must spend some time there as it is important to him. Irvine is the opposite side of the USA to Orlando. Here is a map showing where Irvine is (
for non-Americans):
In fact, Tiger Woods also owns property in Orlando, California, Wyoming and Sweden, his wife's home country.
Update Dec 2009: It is alleged that his wife Elin has bought a house with her sister in Sweden. She has also allegedly moved out of the Tiger Woods house in Windemere to another one near by in Isleworth. How many houses are there?.
His main residence is as mentioned above planned to be on Jupiter Island, on the Atlantic coast of Florida, about 200 miles south and slightly east of Orlando. This is a perfect place as it is exclusive with limited road access. It is a long thin island about 20 miles long and 500 yards to half a mile wide. It is about 500 yards wide where Tiger Woods has his home.
Apparently, he had the original estate demolished. It cost $38 million to $48 million (we are not sure!). The whole lot was knocked down, it seems, which included: a 13-year-old mansion of 7,600 sq. feet, 3 other large houses, 2 swimming pools, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts and a mini-golf course. In fact one of the guest homes on the estate was hit by lightning after he bought the estate and destroyed - no big deal. His architect planned for a 10,000 sq ft, two-storey house. It is, it seems, going to be a modern house in design. Other features of the future Tiger Woods house are:
- a glass lift from the huge entrance to the first floor.
- 3 bedrooms and a master suite with 2 ensuite bathrooms.
- basement wine cellar, cinema and games room.
- feature windows facing the beach and the Atlantic ocean.
- boat house, golf training studio, 3 car garage and guest house.
- tennis court, small golf course, pool, gym and boat dock for his £10 million yacht, Privacy
He likes his privacy and justifiably and has had trees planted in abundance. Apparently fences are not allowed! Here is a picture of the bit of real estate he bought:
The picture is believed copyright free. I have marked it up & made an informed guess as to the entire estate based on the description of the properties demolished. The address is South Beach Road, Jupiter Island, Florida, bottom right (on map) and what I believe is the Isleworth area of Orlando (top left):
Map Channels: free mapping tools
Update 1-5-09: I have added the comment of an anonymous contributor (who I thank) in the quote above. He says that the Jupiter Drive house will be his house in the near future.

Well Harvey, perhaps it's due to unmitigated "stupid" statements by the union reps. Not worth commenting on.

I would say the newspaper is accurately reporting facts. If you don't like the facts, go elsewhere.

In the past when I've merely implied that perhaps color had something to do with touchy nerves, I was told to shut up and lickety split I shut up!
Needless to say I was up in arms and since them, thousands upon thousands of my posts have been deleted! The only other thing I might suspect is that something got caught all up in there! a wild hair? who knows...only the goddess knows.
The mee mee mee has made me sleepy but like I say I repeat my mantra easy does it, easy does it, can we all get along and then the goddess rosa maniosa pops in and I'm way happy again.
Is this what life is all about, spreading lies online to win an argument?

The Japanese manga "Hana Yori Dango" by Yoko Kamio has so far been made into a Japanese feature film, the Taiwanese "Meteor Garden" dramas, Korea's "Boys Over Flowers" and the Japanese "Hana Yori Dango" series. All of the series have been wildly successful, launching the careers of the actors who starred in them.
It's a Cinderella story, in which a tough but likable heroine defends others and takes a stand. The poor girl meets a rich arrogant guy, stands up to his threats when no one else will and in return he falls in love with her. It must strike a chord with women because "Hana Yori Dango "is the best selling shojo manga or girl comic of all time.
That may be why one company is trying to raise money to produce an American version. A company known as Wazego Collective is attempting to raise funds through the Kickstarter online fundraising program and hopes to air their series later this year on Roku.
They are looking for funding of up to $250,000 that will go toward casting actors, paying for permits, locations and editing. They already have a crew and the promise of investment funds if they can raise the outside capital. They also have a script, casting dates and half their locations.
According to the collective site, "The series is a gripping, funny and unique romantic comedy series that shows that girls can't be pushed around. It delivers a positive message and needs to be shared with the American audience."
The collective describes itself as manga and drama fans and promises to do a faithful job. They do not plan to cast any big stars in the series and will only use rookie actors.
"We promise to do it properly without the common Hollywood thread of changing everything about a series to suit Hollywood instead of the current fan base."
The Kickstarter fundraising project will only continue if they can raise $100,000 by a certain day.
Netizens responded to the idea of an Americanized "Boys Over Flowers" with mixed feelings. One netizen said she watched kdramas because they were so innocent and worried that in attempting to Americanize the show, the story would lose that innocence.
For many fans who have seen all the versions, the Korean version was the best adaptation and no matter how careful the collective is to minimize changes, Americanizing the drama would mean there was no kimchi and no piggyback rides. That would be sad. On the other hand, the show does deliver a positive message that girls of all cultures might benefit from.
The collective has less than a week to raise the money. So far they are nowhere close.

What is VBA & Writing your First VBA Macro in Excel [VBA Crash Course Part 1 of 5]
This article is part of our VBA Crash Course. Please read the rest of the articles in this series by clicking below links.

- My Top 10 Tips for Mastering VBA & Excel Macros
Introduction to Excel VBA
Everyone has a language. My mother tongue is Telugu. But I also speak Hindi, English and Cutish (that is the language my 2 year old kids speak). You may be fluent in English, Spanish, French, German or Vietnamese.
Just like you and I, Excel has a language too, the one it can speak and understand. This language is called as VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).
When you tell instructions to Excel in this VBA language, Excel can do what you tell it. Thus enabling you to program Excel so that you can automate a boring report, format a big&ugly chart, clean-up some messy data or just play some random noises.
What is a Macro then?
A macro is nothing but a set of instructions you give Excel in the VBA language.
Writing Your First Macro
Note: If you are new computer programming, watch our Introduction to Programming Video before proceeding.
In order to write your first VBA program (or Macro), you need to know the language first. This is where Excel's tape recorder will help us.
Tape Recorder?!?
Yes. Excel has a built-in tape recorder, that listens and records everything you do, in Excel's own language, ie VBA.
Since we dont know any VBA, we will use this recorder to record our actions and then we will see recorded instructions (called as code in computer lingo) to understand how VBA looks like.
Our First VBA Macro – MakeMeRed()
Now that you understand some VBA jargon, lets move on and write our very first VBA Macro. The objective is simple. When we run this macro, it is going to color the currently selected cell with Red. Why red? Oh, red is pretty, bright and awesome – just like you.
This is how our macro is going to work when it is done.
6 steps to writing your first macro
If you do not see Developer ribbon, follow these instructions.
Excel 2007:
1. Click on Office button (top left)
2. Go to Excel Options
3. Go to Popular
4. Check "Show Developer Tab in Ribbon" (3rd Check box)
5. Click ok.
Excel 2010:
1. Click on File Menu (top left)
2. Go to Options
3. Select "Customize Ribbon"
4. Make sure "Developer tab" is checked in right side area
5. Click ok.
Step 1: Select any cell & start macro recorder
This is the easiest part. Just select any cell and go to Developer Ribbon & click on Record Macro button.
Step 2: Give a name to your Macro
Specify a name for your macro. I called mine MakeMeRed. You can choose whatever you want. Just make sure there are no spaces or special characters in the name (except underscore)
Click OK when done.
Step 3: Fill the current cell with red color
This is easy as eating pie. Just go to Home ribbon and fill red color in the current cell.
Step 4: Stop Recording
Now that you have done the only step in our macro, its time to stop Excel's tape recorder. Go to Developer ribbon and hit "stop recording" button.
Step 5: Assign your Macro to a button
Now go to Insert ribbon and draw a nice rectangle. Then, put some text like "click me to fill red" in it.
Then right click on the rectangle shape and go to Assign Macro. And select the MakeMeRed macro from the list shown. Click ok.
Step 6: Go ahead and play with your first macro
That is all. Now, we have linked the rectangle shape to your macro. Whenever you click it, Excel would drop a bucket of red paint in the selected cell(s).
Go ahead and play with this little macro of ours.
Understanding the MakeMeRed Macro Code
Now that your first macro is working, lets peek behind the scenes and understand what VBA instructions are required to fill a cell with red.
To do this, right click on your current sheet name (bottom left) and click on View code option. (You can also press ALT+F11 to do the same).
This opens Visual Basic Editor – a place where you can view & edit various VBA instructions (macros, code) to get things done in Excel.
Understanding the Visual Basic Editor:
Before understanding the MakeMeRed macro, we need to be familiar with VBE (Visual Basic Editor). See this drawing to understand it.
Viewing the VBA behind MakeMeRed
- Select Module 1 from left side area of VBE (called as Project Explorer).
- Double click on it to open it in Editor Area (top right, big white rectangle)
- You can see the VBA Code behind MakeMeRed
If you have followed the instructions above, your code should look like this:
Sub MakeMeRed()
' MakeMeRed Macro
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 192
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
End Sub
So much for a simple red paint!!!
Well, what can I say, Excel is rather verbose when it is recording.
Understanding the MakeMeRed VBA Code
Lets go thru the entire Macro code one line at a time.
- Sub MakeMeRed(): This line tells Excel that we are writing a new set of instructions. The word SUB indicates that the following lines of VBA are a sub-procedure (or sub-routine). Which in computer lingo means, a group of related instructions meant to be followed together to do something meaningful. The Sub-procedure ends when Excel sees the phrase "End Sub"
- Lines starting with a single quote ('): These lines are comments. Excel will ignore anything you write after a single quote. These are meant for your understanding.
- With Selection.Interior: While filling a cell with Red color may seem like one step for you and I, it is in fact a lot of steps for your computer. And whenever you need to do a lot of operations on the same thing (in this case, selected cell), it is better to bunch all of them. This is where the WITH statement comes in to picture. When Excel sees With Seletion.Interior, Excel is going to think, "ok, I am going to do all the next operations on Selected Cell's Interior until I see End With line"
- Lines starting with .: These are the lines that tell Excel to format the cell's interior. In this case, the most important line is .Color = 192 which is telling Excel to fill Red color in the selected cell.
- End With: This marks the end of With block.
- End Sub: This marks the end of our little macro named MakeMeRed().
Few Tips to understand this macro better:
Once you are examining the macro code, here are a few ways to learn better.
- Change something: You can change almost any line of the macro to see what happens. For example, change .color = 192 to .color = 62 and save. Then come back to Excel and run your macro to see what happens.
- Delete something: You can remove some of the lines in the macro to see what happens. Remove the line .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic and run again to see what happens.

I think experience is one of the best teachers, and as Chandoo mentions, don't be afraid to try and change some VB code. I started off learning VBA simply by recording myself doing different actions, and then seeing how it was recorded and what could be changed. Over the years, you can then pick up tricks and shortcuts from other people that help you write more efficient code, but I still will often just record myself doing something if I need code written for something I don't have experience with.
Recording a macro has helped me specially in getting complex formulas converted to a code !!! Bestest (if that is any word) way to get your work done around a macro is to RECORD IT !!!!!
You just need to say "best", since it already describes your subject. Bestest (Like best of the best) would be "better". =)
i.e., "Best way to get your work done around a macro is to RECORD IT !!!!!"
Really helpeful Chandoo. I especially appreciate the explanation of the code.
Great explanation. I like it. I like it. I like it.
Great starting point.
Pls consider 'rem' out a line, instead of delete something, in order to toggle the effect.
Pls introduce debug.print so that a new coder can learn to track what's happening.
Pls cover simple custom functions. For many users, long, nested equations & functions are their only solution. -
I've only recently started taking the deep dive into VBA. I think it helps if you have a solid understanding of excel and its functions before attempting to work with any macros. It really is a langauge that is best learnt by doing...i.e. its not enough just to read stuff, go out and muck around with it!! I've made it a point of doing as much as possible in VBA recently, not because its the most efficient way to do things, but because it helps me understand how all the methods and properties work. Dont be put off by the range (no pun intended!) of objects/properties/methods alot of the time you only need to access a handful of these....
This type of instructional format would have been useful in the VBA classes.
Hi Chandoo,
great tutorial, and I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
I tried out this example, but my recorded macro only paints the same cell over and over. The code (in addition to what you listed out) had the following line:
which explains the behavior - it would only color cell B14! On removing this line, I can color any selected cell. Any ideas on how this happened?Thanks!
By stating Range("B14").select, you are telling excel to work only on that particular cell.
You can try using Activecell.select and this will give you the freedom to select any cell and color the same.
Also, similarly, you can use Activesheet.select or Activesheet.next,select when working upon sheets and avoid the need to typing mile long codes 🙂
Hi Chandoo,
As usual very useful and very informative. Could any one let me know where I can find all the syntax for VBA like the "selection.iterior" selector and the likes.

My first ever experience with macro was when I wanted to protect and unprotect multiple sheets in timesheets used in my company. This helped me prevent other users from accidentally deleting formulas used for calculations. I wanted to know what caused the macro to run and pressed Alt+F11. Man! I tell you after that my day to day work was more simplified than ever! I have edited a hundred macros available online and created new ones to suit my purpose. I can proudly say that most of the Timesheets used in my company are created by me! I did not have any ground knowledge of VBA, but due to constant experimentation I am able to understand most of the conditions in it. Chandoo, Thanks for taking up VBA, this will be a refresher for me.

Dear Chandooooooo
I am mainly working on VBA. I am the one and only person in my company to migrate Office 2003 format files to Office 2010 format.
Unfortunately as you know there so manyyyyy changes in VBA from 2003 to 2010. Which is eating my brain. I know only little bit of changes and re coding them, with available alternatives over Google.
But most of the Office 2003 files don't work @ all 🙁
I had seen news and articles about you in TV and Newspaper.
I wish and pray that you would help me in crossing this Ocean of Migration.
I have already subscribed for your newsletter and RSS feeds.

Many thanks for keeping it DIRT simple. I LOVE small steps when learning something new!
Two quibbles:
1.) In this sentence, ' "When Excel sees With Seletion.Interior, Excel is going to think, "ok, I am going to do all the next operations on Selected Cell's Interior until I see End With line" ', I think you misspelled, "Selection".
2.) I think that you have the colon backwards in this line, "Lines starting with .: These are the lines that tell Excel to format the cell's interior." That is, it should be "Lines starting with: . These are the lines..."
Again, thanks ever so much, Chandu!
Hi Everybody on Chandoo,
I am 57 years and a qualified Electrical Engineer with limited knowledge of programming [ college days we had only Fortran in our curriculum]. Was working on calculations for PV Solar Power Generation and had the need to use programming to get my outputs based on various conditions. Only go, was VBA. Did not know much about its syntax or its usage. But however internet was of great use and help. For what I wanted or how I wanted to analyse my data, on searching the web repeatedly, could get ready made code [ similar to what I want you see..] which I copied and pasted and modified to suit my needs. It was wonderful experience, as I saw output data filling up rows and columns automatically and getting various colours [ of course as I wanted and programmed VBA]. I really felt like a child at 57. Certainly if this code of mine if viewed by VBA experts like Mr. Chandoo, they would laugh at it; nonetheless, I got what I wanted and completed my analysis. It is like Mr. Chadoo's cycling expedition. Tough yet do-able at any age if you have the inclination.
That's it. Bye for now -
[…] you are new to macros don't worry, they aren't that bad – check out this article on Chandoo.org for a quick […]
I am trying to create a macro that edits a cells internal info, then moves to the next cell to edit those internal contents. I have an id number in cell A1: 01-1001 It is in TEXT format. I have over 5000 id numbers going down the spread sheet starting in A1. I need to export and upload this info into different software. I need to remove the dash and make the id number read"011001" and then move the next cell and repeat the dash removal. Again, i will have to repeat this over 5000 times! How do i right this macro as it does not record my steps, only the result.
Hi CT ,
I would not worry of writing a macro for this, instead I would simply create a copy of the 5000 id numbers from column A to column B. After that select Column B , then press the key Ctrl+H and in the "Find what:" field enter "-" and in the field "Replace with:" enter nothing and then click on the button replace all. This will help you achieve what you wanted to achieve.
I like your Explaining Style. very easy to learn everbdy. Thank you Mr. Chandoo

In 1998, plenty of jaws dropped when Wild Things hit theaters—specifically because of the raunchy sex scenes, like the topless, girl-on-girl pool scene between Denise Richards and Neve Campbell—two of the hottest starlets of the '90s—and their shocking threesome with Matt Dillon. Oh, and how can forget Kevin Bacon's full-frontal nude in the shower?

I was speaking with a liberal this weekend who opined that McCain will win, something he found inconceivable in a match between Obama and McCain.
"Why," I asked?
"Because McCain's never done anything," he replied. Rather than defend McCain's record, I asked a different question:
"What's Obama done?"
A millisecond went by, and then I got this answer:
"Obama is so much smarter than McCain."
Yup, that's what Obama's done: He's been smarter. If that's your criterion, of course, I've got a very bright 9 year old who would love to have the run of the White House, not to mention control over the nation's nuclear weapons.
By the way, this same liberal is a huge fan of JFK, so I began looking at JFK, McCain and Obama. Working off the top of my head, I came up with the following:
Kennedy | McCain | Obama | |
Military Service | Yes | Yes | No |
House of Reps | 6 yrs | 4 yrs | 0 yrs |
Senate | 8 yrs | 22 yrs | 3 yrs |
Foreign policy hawk | Yes | Yes | No |
Large gov. foe | So-So | So-So | No |
Book author | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Feel free to add to this. I've never been much of a Kennedy fan, since I came of age when all the unsavory allegations about him (the womanizing, the mafia connections, etc.) hit the news, and that permanently colored my emotional reaction to the man. I know all of you will have more useful comparison facts than I do.

WASHINGTON — In a move meant to prevent deaths caused by the nation's prescription drug epidemic, the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved a new device that would allow family members or caregivers to administer emergency medication to combat an overdose.
The product, Evzio, rapidly delivers a dose of naloxone, a drug that has long been used to reverse the effects caused by an overdose of a powerful class of painkillers known as opioids. The treatment would be administered through a hand-held automatic injector that gives verbal instructions to the user and is small enough to carry in a pocket.
Federal officials fast-tracked approval of Evzio, saying it could play a critically important role in preventing some of the 16,000 deaths per year attributed to painkiller abuse, a problem that has grown steadily worse over the past decade and now eclipses the number of people killed in automobile crashes. Because victims of opioid overdose tend to lose consciousness, allowing nearby family members or caretakers to administer naloxone outside a hospital setting could mean the difference between life and death for some patients.
"Overdose and death resulting from misuse and abuse of both prescription and illicit opioids has become a major public health concern in the United States," Bob Rappaport, director of the FDA's division of anesthesia, analgesia and addiction products, said in a statement. "Evzio is the first combination drug-device product designed to deliver a dose of naloxone for administration outside of a health care setting. Making this product available could save lives by facilitating earlier use of the drug in emergency situations."
Although the FDA said family members or caregivers should make themselves familiar with Evzio before using it, the device walks users through administering the drug in an emergency situation, much like an automated defibrillator.
The drug is injected into a patient's muscle or under the skin. It is designed to counteract the symptoms of opioid overdose, including slowed breathing, extreme fatigue and changes in heart rate.
In approving the Evzio, regulators warned that it should not be considered a substitute for medical care, and that the use of the drug can result in severe opioid withdrawal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, sweating, uncontrollable trembling and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
"Until now, most people had to rely on emergency medical care to get access to an opioid reversal agent," Allen Burton, an anesthesiologist and pain specialist at Houston Pain Centers, said in a statement released by Kaleo, the maker of Evzio. "Having naloxone available for use by caregivers as soon as signs of overdose are observed means an earlier intervention and better chance of survival."
Thursday's approval comes amid continuing criticism of the FDA over the recent release of a new opioid drug, Zohydro. It is the first prescription narcotic comprising a pure dose of hydrocodone, the main ingredient in the painkiller Vicodin.
Before Zohydro, hydrocodone was available only in combinations that included non-addictive pain medications, such as acetaminophen. The FDA agreed with the drug's California manufacturer, Zogenix, that the pure formulation allows for long-term use without the risk of liver damage and would offer a much-needed treatment for chronic pain sufferers.
Meanwhile, critics have warned that such a formulation also makes the drug easier to abuse. In addition, they argue that Zohydro's lack of tamper-resistant features, coupled with its potency - the strongest version includes 10 times the amount of hydrocodone in many Vicodin pills - is a recipe for disaster.
The FDA approved the controversial drug last fall despite an 11-to-2 recommendation to the contrary by its own outside advisory panel. The agency has continued to face pressure to reconsider its decision from law enforcement officials, addiction experts and lawmakers from both parties, though officials have defended its merits as a painkiller.
Last month, the manufacturer of another opioid drug,OxyContin, said it had successfully tested a tamper-resistant form of hydrocodone and plans to seek FDA approval for the drug, which it said would be less prone to abuse because its design makes it hard for users to crush the pill and inject or snort its contents.

Will Smith in Talks for Heist Flick 'Focus'; Kristen Stewart No Longer Costarring
- By
- 7 Comments
Crazy, Stupid, Love directors Glenn Ficarre and John Requa were hoping to work again with leads Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone on a heist-comedy titled Focus, but scheduling didn't work out and the filmmakers ended up casting Ben Affleck and Kristen Stewart instead; now, both those actors have left the project, and Will Smith has entered talks to come aboard.
Affleck dropped Focus in order to… uh, focus his attention on writing, directing and starring in the Dennis Lehane novel adaptation Live by Night. As for Stewart, the Twilight actress reportedly exited the project sometime over the past few weeks, perhaps to prepare for her role in The Big Shoe (since the only other major project on her docket, the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel, is a ways off from beginning production in the near future).
THR is reporting that Smith has entered talks to take the Focus role that Gosling and Affleck were eyed for, which is a seasoned con man who becomes romantically involved with a novice – the role that Stone and Stewart were in line for – just as he encounters an old flame, while preparing to execute his most elaborate job yet (perhaps the coveted "one last job," in fact).
Smith returned from a four-year acting break last year in Men in Black III, and is headed back to the big screen this June in M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth. He'll appear in Winter's Tale thereafter, and is attached to numerous projects that are stuck in early development right now, so there's a reasonable chance he'll sign on for Focus and help get the movie into theaters by sometime next year.
Focus would be a change of pace for Smith, after him making so many big-budget tentpoles that fall within the action, sci-fi and comedy genres (often a combination of the three); not to mention, it sounds as though the central role ought to play to his strengths as an actor with a charismatic and magnetic screen personality.
The script was written by Ficarre and Requa, who also scripted Bad Santa and both wrote and directed I Love You Phillip Morris together, so the film should offer Will a chance to explore the kind of sardonic comedy and comical satire material that he's not properly tried his hand at before. Sound good to you?
More on Focus as the story develops.

Stop Whining About Negative Campaigning!
I'm gonna speak just for me. I am getting tired of the whining about negative campaigning. I'm getting tired of the whining from everybody about it. Not just the candidates, I'm getting tired hearing about it from everyone. What in the world is politics? What is it, if not this? I'm gonna say something to the Gingrich people here. Newt is really caught up in this notion that Romney is saying things about him that aren't true. I'm telling you, I'm having a tough time relating to being upset about that. As someone who is routinely lied about every day and has been for 25 years, it comes with the territory.
Now, I know that one of the problems that Newt has is he doesn't think he can combat it. Romney is outspending Gingrich in Florida $15 million to $3 million. Gingrich has been outspent by $12 million in Florida alone. So I'm sure Newt feels that he's unable to combat it and repel it. Unlike me, he doesn't have a microphone every day, and I do. But I don't use it to deal with the critics. I ignore 'em. Newt and that Juan Williams episode, what was it about that that had people standing up and cheering? It was conservatism. I've long maintained that whoever can articulate conservatism the most consistently, the most confidently and the happiest is going to win this thing. And that pretty much could overcome any of the negatives.
My advice is not listened to and I don't expect it to be. I'm not in that business. And Newt said that he was off his game in the last debate last Thursday 'cause Romney was telling such outrageous lies about him that he was shell-shocked. Now, I don't know if that is a ploy for sympathy or what, but what in the world do either of these two guys think is gonna happen when either one of them ends up facing Obama? I don't care who's telling lies in the Republican campaign, they are pikers compared to what's gonna happen when the Democrat campaign begins. And something else that I'm pretty confident in saying. As hard-hitting and go-for-the-throat and take-no-prisoners as Romney's going after Newt, he will not do this going after Obama. A lot of people out there are praising Romney, "Hey, this is politics. Hey, frankly, it's what a campaign's supposed to do. A campaign's supposed to be able to mount a full-fledged assault."
Romney, a lot of people are giving him credit for that document dump last Wednesday and Thursday all over the media that took Gingrich out. That's what campaigns are supposed to do. Yeah, it's the way it's played, but I'm gonna tell you, it ain't gonna be played that way against Obama. If you are deciding that you like Romney's toughness the way he's taken out Newt, I got something for you. He isn't gonna do that against Obama. Do you think the Republican Party's got the guts to do that against Obama? (interruption) You think so? You think so? It's interesting you think so. Have you seen any evidence? No, you haven't. Have you seen any evidence of any Republican going after Obama the way Republicans are going after each other? You haven't. In fact, when Romney's had the chance, (imitating Romney) "Oh, gosh, you know, I just think he's in over his head." Has he said something as innocuous as that about Newt?

Home >> international-holidays >> Manila Tour Packages
Manila travel packages take visitors to the center of culture, education and business of Philippines. Go for Manila holidays to get into a city that has a pronounced Spanish heritage apparent in its striking churches and forts. The city was also under American occupation for some time. USA's influence on the city can be seen in its modern buildings and buzzing cultural life, something that makes Manila tours wholly enjoyable experiences.
One of the best things about visiting Manila is that a traveller can be as active or passive as he/she feels like. You can also check for Manila City tourism guide online for additional information about the destination.

The reason for his outrage? A little film that had a big impact two years ago. La Haine (Hate), which Kassovitz wrote and directed, traced 24 hours in the lives of three Parisian youths trying to relieve the tedium of life on a riot-ravaged housing estate. This was a side of France that film-makers had largely shunned, and reaction to the picture was split between those who were relieved that someone had dared to lift the lid off this boiling pot, and others who recoiled from its merciless heat. La Haine proved to be an unprecedented box-office hit both at home and abroad, its success fuelled by the controversy whipped up by the French media, who were as appalled as my cabbie to note that Kassovitz himself was a middle-class boy from the right side of the tracks - the wrong place to be born if you want to comment on poverty without attracting flak.
Kassovitz went on to win two Cesar awards, as well as the Best Director prize at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. It is true that around this time he thought he was a god, though it's hard to reconcile such arrogant bluster with the polite, mousy little man seated before me in a baseball cap and cricket sweater, who becomes most animated when talking not about politics, but about his passion for American Graffiti and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, two films whose scripts he can recite backwards. Nobody was more appalled at the transformation from movie-nerd to megaphone-wielding, stimulant-ingesting megalomaniac than Kassovitz himself.
"I don't like awards because it's a nasty idea," he explains. "The competitive aspect is bullshit." Coming from somebody who has won three awards each for his acting and directing accomplishments and still has yet to reach his 30th birthday, this might sound like cheap talk. But Kassovitz speaks from experience.
"I've always hated competition. It's not about how happy you are. It's about how unhappy the other guy is. It was a pleasure to win at Cannes for La Haine, and it did a lot of things for me and my pay cheque. But it did a lot of wrong to my head. When you have the Best Director prize, you start thinking: `Hey man, fuck you, fuck the rest. I'm the best.' Then you begin spending all your time in clubs and it stops being about film because you don't have to work, and then you go on a film set again and realise you're not Coppola. That's what happened to me. I thought I was a good director. Then I realised I'd been living off what other people thought of me."
While he was struggling to keep his ego in check, Kassovitz found that La Haine had unexpectedly made him the media's prime target. By the time the French government had ordered a screening of the movie in order to discern whether or not its frank portrayal of life on the breadline was going to precipitate the end of civilisation, Kassovitz's personal life was being dragged on to the front pages - hence the taxi drivers of Paris possessing intimate knowledge of everything but his bank balance.
Did he realise the effect that the film would have on his life? "No! It was a small black-and-white movie - I had no idea it would cause so much fuss. The first day of its release in France, the theatres were full. We had five newspaper covers, four magazine covers. It was a national event. Not because of the quality of the film, but because the media in this country are lazy and stupid. They did a lot of good for the film because more people went to see it, but they totally misrepresented it. They were more interested in saying to me, `You're not from the ghetto. So why are you making films about ghetto life?' That's sad. After a while I started thinking that we shouldn't have made the movie. I had problems out in the street with guys from the ghetto - they said I had betrayed them and then I couldn't even say `Hey, fuck you!' to them because I began to believe that I had sold out. The trouble is that if you want publicity, you have to face the media - and the media have a tendency to... exaggerate."
Kassovitz has just finished directing and acting in a new film which he tells me concerns misrepresentation-by-media - Assassins, based on his own 1992 short - and is currently on let's-do-lunch terms with Jodie Foster's Egg Pictures company, who will be behind his first English language film. But before either of those projects are released, we have a chance to see him step before the camera in Jacques Audiard's fiercely intelligent comedy-drama A Self-Made Hero, in which Kassovitz plays Albert, an inconsequential sideliner who muscles himself centre-stage by inventing a past for himself as a Resistance hero.
As the film unfolds, the Second World War is drawing to a close, but Albert's new, brighter life is just beginning, and Kassovitz delicately captures the way this timid young man is invigorated and emboldened by the lies which he disguises as history. Although A Self-Made Hero is light years away from the style and tone of La Haine, it too concerns itself with raising topics that many in France would rather remained unmentioned.
"French people talking about the French Resistance in an honest way is really something you don't hear very often," Kassovitz says. "When I was a kid, we were taught that everyone in our country was good. It's only when you grow up that you realise how anarchic that post-war period was, and how nothing was clearly defined.
"Today we have teenagers who dress like gangsters, and who knows if they're rich kids or poor kids? Nobody looks like who they really are. At that time it was the same. But it wasn't about music or fashion. It was about rebuilding society after the war. Telling lies is part of human nature, but can you do it as a politician? Can you lie for a good cause? If you do, then you have to be true to your lie. That's what I like about Albert. He acts like a member of the Resistance and he's actually very good. If he'd had the chance to be in the Resistance, he might have been a real asset."
These days, Kassovitz talks about his achievements with a humility that could charm a disgruntled Parisian taxi-driver, almost as though he is repenting for his former egotistical excesses. He is particularly modest about acting - he maintains that he starred in his own first feature, Metisse, only because it was easier that way, and naturally neglects to mention that the performance won him Most Promising Young Actor trophies from cities where you wouldn't even think they had film festivals.
"A director is what I am," he says. "Acting is what I do to help me learn to be a good director. You get money, comfort, girls. But it's not that creative. I consider it a hobby that I use for my real job. Actors are the most important thing in a film, so it's healthy for me as a director to know what they go through. But I've never read a book about acting. I don't have a technique. I say to a director: `I don't know if I can do this. If you believe in me and want me for your film, that's your responsibility but maybe I'm not going to be that good' "
