  • MA Labor Laws Multiple Questions?

    My Husband works for a seal-coating company in MA. Not only is he subjected to intense heat during the day, but also works an average of 80 hours per week. He is required to work 7 days a week, and only has a day off when it rains. Also, he is frequently asked to come in at 4:30am after getting out past 9pm the night before.

    My questions:

    1. What is the max temperature an employee can be subject to during work (outdoor)?

    2. Isn't he entitled to at least 1 day off per week?

    3.His safety supervisor says that it is now MA law to provide at least 10 hours between shifts. I know that federal regulation does not, but cannot find anything on the MA DOL site to show that they need to give him 10 hours. Do you know where I can find this information in writting?

    Thank you in advance

  • Can someone help with my php problem?

    Hi I need help with my php script. This is a basic site that creates a portfolio page of photographs. On the top it has the large picture, and on the bottom there are thumbnails that update the pic on top when you hover with your mouse. My problems are that (a) I need the thumbnails to wrap after 5 images (start a new line of thumbnails) and (b) I would love it if when you CLICK the thumbnail, it "locks" that picture in place (so when you move your mouse over another pic it won't change - but I do still want the hover feature until they click, not sure if it is possible.) Here is my code so far:

    <?php

    $thumbnail_height = 60;

    $image_height = 400;

    function format_portfolio ($dirname, $filenames)

    {

    global $thumbnail_height;

    global $image_height;

    $str .= "<table width=775><tr><td width=775 align=center>";

    $str .= "<img border=0 name='placeholder' height=$image_height src='images/$dirname/$filenames[0]'><br>";

    $str .= "<table width=775 cellpadding=5><tr>";

    for ($i=0; $i<count($filenames); $i++) {

    $str .= "<td valign=top width=775>";

    $str .= "<img height=$thumbnail_height OnMouseover='javascript:document.placeholder.src=\"images/$dirname/$filenames[$i]\"' src='images/$dirname/$filenames[$i]'>";

    $str .= "</td>";

    }

    $str .= "</tr></table>"; // the thumbnail box

    $str .= "</td></tr></table>"; // the overall portfolio

    return $str;

    }

    function get_portfolio_html ($dirname)

    {

    $count = 0;

    $filenames = array();

    if ($handle = opendir("images/$dirname")) {

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

    if ($file == '.')

    continue;

    if ($file == '..')

    continue;

    $filenames[$count] = $file;

    $count++;

    }

    closedir($handle);

    }

    // $str .= "found $count items in '$dirname'<br>";

    $str .= format_portfolio ($dirname, $filenames);

    return $str;

    }

    function display_portfolio ($dirname)

    {

    $str = get_portfolio_html ($dirname);

    echo $str;

    }

    ?>

    Any help would be great. I don't really care about (b) - my first need is much more urgent. Thanks in advance!!

  • What is that song?

    I'm trying to figure out the name of a song....it is sung by a one-hit wonder in the 90s with the name Vanilla something or other. I think it was a graduation song, kind of like "everyone is free to wear sunscreen". The Singer in question had orange highlights with brown hair. That's all I know, this is comming second hand... if anyone was a fan of the song/singer, I would love to know who it is!

  • How do I report Spam?

    I have been receiving this newsletter that I never read. Finally, I decided to unsubscribe. I did this 8 times now, and still receive it. I have proof of 5 of these requests (I swithed from Outlook 2000 to 2003 & lost my sent items). I am sick of this careless disregard for my rights. This is a real company too, not just some silly junk mail - I know because I receive a quarterly magazine from them, and they are known in my line of work (don't get any ideas, I am a Financial Planning Assistant lol)

  • Excel 2000 help?

    I pressed some random buttons on my computer, now when I'm in excel I can't press the / key. Every time I press this key, it treats it like the ALT key-it sends me to the menus. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you know how to fix it???? Please help! Again, it is my slash key, or /.

    I also just wanted to mention that I have checked all my settings (which are normal), and have tried every function key not only by itself, but also CTRL+Function and CTRL+SHIFT+Function to try and fix it. I also checked my macros to make sure I didn't create one by mistake. I didn't. I also checked my keyboard options, which are normal. On top of all of that, the / key seems to work perfectly fine in all other programs, and this is the only key with this problem, both on my number pad and the main keyboard.
