Of the 1,035 infrastructure projects completed between 1992 and 2009 41 per cent faced cost overruns and 82 per cent faced time over-runs.
Currently, time delays on infrastructure projects are estimated to be over 40 per cent while the average cost overrun is estimated to be over 13 per cent in any infrastructure project
Capital project management systems can completely automate the different facets of project management including, estimation, planning and construction management; and integrate this data into the company’s corporate IT (information technology) infrastructure including ERP (enterprise resource planning), document management systems, GIS (geographic information system), scheduling and other legacy applications, enabling enterprise-wide IT adoption. This helps companies streamline their processes, control costs and reduce delays

First make sure the image is not copyrighted – they often are!
Consider using a screen capture utility or otherwise
Right-click the picture, choose Save Picture As and save it to your hard drive.
To add the image:
Insert | Illustrations | Picture in PowerPoint 2007
Insert | Picture | From File in PowerPoint 2003 .
When you copy paste from the net, you may create a hard-to-remove link to the internet from your presentation. (Try a right mouse click and select rwmove hyerlink)
If nto removed then this may cause Windows to try to connect to the internet every time anyone opens the presentation.
Don’t link images
When you insert pictures you may notice an option to Link to the file. Unless you have a good reason for doing it, don’t. PowerPoint’s image links break very easily. It’s generally safer and more effective to embed the files (in other words, insert them normally, not linked).
Tip from the Microsoft Outlook product team
A printed copy of your Outlook calendar can be quite convenient. If the available printing options aren’t sufficient then try the Microsoft Calendar Printing Assistant for Outlook 2007. The Calendar Printing Assistant supports a wide variety of layout templates and allows you to print multiple shared calendars at once.
The Calendar Printing Assistant is a separate program from Outlook. After you install it from the link above, you can find it in the Start menu under Programs | Microsoft Office | Microsoft Office Tools | Calendar Printing Assistant.

Windows Live Wave 4: Beta testing underway expect to see it in the summer
New Windows Live Messenger Wave 4 screenshots revealed:
PCs running Windows continue to be the most popular way to connect to the internet. And, just as email and instant messaging have changed, the way people use their PCs has changed too. These days, folks use their PCs to communicate on social networks, send email, browse the web, and share photos and videos with their friends. Most people have a mobile phone, and many have an additional PC. And most people already have at least one social network (often more), a photo sharing service, and an email address.
Much like instant messaging, email has changed over the last several years. In the “old days” of email, you would only get mail from a real person, someone who knew your email address, and email was mostly text. Email today is a lot more than plain text – it is the way we get things done. It’s where we conduct business, keep up with social networking updates, and share photos, documents and links with friends and co-workers. Similarly, your “contact list” isn’t just people you send email to anymore – it is a long list of people you communicate with in the social networks you use every day.
In the not-so-distant past, your friends were mostly on one IM network, mostly on a PC, and it was easy to keep track of what they were doing. Today’s instant messaging is still mostly about people who are online on a PC having a conversation with each other. In Messenger, these conversations occur between more than 320 million users who exchange more than 10 billion daily messages
Over recent years, conversations shifted beyond IM sessions, to activity on social networks, sharing in email, and SMS messages. People have hundreds of “friends” across numerous social networks and sharing sites, but most people still spend most of their time communicating with a core group of people. To stay up to date with these “real friends” you have to go from site to site and wade through long lists of post – most people don’t need another social network – the one they have is just fine.
Wave 4 of Windows Live Essentials includes the best tools to organize photos, make movies, and keep in touch with your closest friends, all designed for the power of the Windows 7 PC. We’ll focus on connecting your PC to your social networks, your photo sharing services, your phone, and your other PCs – and help you keep things in sync across all the devices you use.
Windows Live services and programs consist of:
•a group of free desktop programs – Live Mail, Live Messenger, Live Movie Maker, Live Photo Gallery, Live Writer and Live Family Safety – that you download and install,
•a group of free online web services such as Live Calendar, Live Hotmail, Live Photos and Live Spaces.
The group of programs you download and install are grouped together as Windows Live Essentials and the online services are grouped as Windows Live Internet Services.
Expect to see Wave 4 on Windows 7 only.
British Ambassador to Dubai, HE Dominic Jermey OBE arrived in the UAE on 11 April. He described the UK as the 8th Emirate.
Qatar’s May 1 plan to scrap its visa-on-arrival facility for nationals of 33 countries, including the US and the UK, has been delayed. Qatar last month announced plans that it would change the rule and apply a visa reciprocity system that would affect the nationals of countries that did not offer Qataris visas upon their arrival.
“It has, therefore, been decided that the existing visa-on-arrival scheme at the Doha International Airport for the citizens of the 33 countries will remain unchanged,” the official was quoted as saying.
“The mutual visa agreements that Qatar has with a number of countries will remain in force.”
Don;t forget hwoever, that British passport holders should also ensure they have at least six months validity and at least one blank page available on their passport before arriving in Qatar .
