Hi Hany,

I'm fine, thanks.

It looks good to me. The only comments I have are:

1. Type the year 2000 without the apostrophe (2000, not '2000).

2. Elsewhere in this document, is the staffing for a typical day referred to as "the working power?" If so, then what you have is fine. (I've never heard that phrase before.) If not, then I would replace "the working power" with "the staff."

Very nice job, Hany!
