Ritam (Sanskrit) is an embodied sense of truth,
Bhara means filled with.
Ritambhara Ashram – a place of quiet, filled with truth.
The Essence
All of us are capable of living in a way that is full of rhythm and beauty. When we live like this there is a cadence in our gait as we walk, there is poetry in our words when we talk.
Why then am I feeling boxed in?
Probably because you are on the relentless treadmill of a work-a-day world. You just have not given yourself a pause, or taken the time for quietude and reflection.
Is it that easy?
Yes, it is. You just have to rediscover your ability to listen.
Why did I lose it?
As children, all of us are born with the ability to listen, to be in rhythm with our world. As we grow up, we get caught up with the idea of success and achievement. We lose sight of our dreams, we lose sight of deep aspirations, and we lose a measure of our real gifts and capacities.
Ok, help me understand this a little more.
When we are in the box, on the treadmill, and driven by the urge to succeed, we see the world and our selves in a deeply judgmental way. We also become deaf to anything that, in our judgement, will distract us from the goal.
We restrict our world, making it small and our bodies and minds tense. The tension reflects as restlessness, restlessness triggers appetites, and appetites trigger compulsivity. The person who is intellectual will read compulsively, a more physically oriented person will engage in sports, some just give in to eating and being emotionally manipulated by the Television.
How do I get out of this box?
Very simply, decide to take a short break, and retreat from this world. A bit of deep replenishment will do you a lot of good.
Come to Ritambhara, and learn how to listen. Engage in dialogues with nature, with our community, with your own body and self.
We will help you reconnect with your inner nature, and discover the strength to start investing in your gifts. If you are already on the path, connecting with members of the community can help make your journey more profound.
The Foundation
If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
What prompted you to create this space?
Raghu and I had been sitting with the question, "What is our next step in the world?" We had always been deeply involved in exploring alternative ways of looking at life, and we have shared our learnings with others over many years. We also have welcomed others involved in the search into our home and our lives. That process, of helping people engage in discovery of themselves and their environment, is now our main priority through this centre.
This was a call, and we heard it clearly, but it took us some time to find the right place. The Nilgiris beckoned; the land here is ancient and uncontaminated. As soon as I saw it, I knew this was where we would create our space to foster this enquiry.
What should we know about Ritambhara?
Ritambhara is not a resort for the pleasure seeking crowd or for those seeking the promise of heaven. We are talking about taking responsibility for oneself and one's environment. We want you to open up your senses and push the frontiers of your understanding. We will take you through certain processes, but it is crucial that you involve yourself in them.
Who helped you start your journey?
Our spiritual journey was sparked by J. Krishnamurthi. Dharampal Ji evoked in us a curiosity to discover the heritage of India, and we continued to explore this and under the guidance of Yogacharya Sri Krishnamacharya, Pulin Garg and Ganapati Sthapati.
Dharampal Ji raised the question to us educated intellectuals, "How are you going to enable India to become a great country?" He explained that we could not lobotomise our Indian nature and culture from ourselves, and it was a futile effort to run behind Western ideals of progress and development. He challenged us to discover what it meant to be Indian, to invest in it, and help it grow into a powerful, contemporary identity. In his mind, that was the only way forward. He asked us to go beyond our intellectual understanding of culture and heritage, something that we could acquire through books, and go in search of gurus who were actually holding the tradition.
And this is what we did. Raghu chose Yogacharya Sri Krishnamacharya to explore his interest in Yoga and Prof. Pulin K. Garg to understand Process Work and I chose Ganapati Sthapati to study traditional architecture. He was the guide who led me to discover the other India. It was an unbroken, continuous heritage that he was living in, and it was an extraordinary thing for me to receive.
We spent 10 years with our teachers, and our focus in that time and thereafter, was not just to hold the tradition in the way it was taught to us as faithful students, but to be able to carry it into our daily lives and translate it for the people who came into our lives, into their language. In our own way, we have not only been contextualising it for the people we meet, but also helping the knowledge remain alive in changing contexts.
This was one of the most important learnings from Dharamapal Ji, and all our teachers; how to treat knowledge not as deadwood but as a living entity, to invest it in a growing environment, and to allow it to become many shoots.
Over the years, we engaged with this subject through many forms and in many forums, conducting workshops and seminars, engaging with colleges and corporates alike. All of this work has led to the creation of Ritambhara, and the community that now co-holds the space. Serious students who came seeking us, with the will to actively engage in the teachings now form the community that we hope will only continue to grow. After years of carrying the responsibility of holding the precious knowledge that we received, it is now, at this time, that we can sit quietly in this forest and have people come here to learn from us, from others, and from themselves. It is a beautiful moment at this stage of our journey, and we are thankful to be able to share it with others on the path.
Raghu and I have weathered many storms. Our lives went into a nightmarish phase because of a familial business context that drew us down into a terrible vortex. The crisis took more than a decade to resolve. What kept us going during this very difficult period was our contact with Krishnaji and our study of Yoga with Desikachar and his father. This learning enabled us to grow and evolve as we confronted the challenges life threw at us. Pulin Garg and Ganapati Sthapati mentored and nurtured us through our professional growth. What we are offering at the Ritambhara Ashram is a distillation of the learnings we have received from these extraordinary teachers, the essence that enabled deep transformation in our lives.
We have created the garden, and things will grow.

I'm not an Excel guru by any means, but one of our users has asked me to come up with a way to extract certain data from a column cells in an Excel spreadsheet. Given the following examples, how could I extract the middle numbers and end numbers from the following values?
103-4-25 (I'd want to extract 4 and 25)
99-07-113 (I'd want to extract 07 and 113)
75-1-004 (I'd want to extract 1 and 004)
I guess what I'm looking for is a couple of formulas that I can paste in a couple of cells to grab this data. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Dear Friends,
This week's Torah portion, Mishpatim, includes a host of laws written in the singular. "You (singular) must not oppress a stranger," (Exodus 22, 20), for instance, and "You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk," (Exodus 23, 19), and so on.
YetMishpatimalso describes our essential nature in the plural – "A holy people you will be to Me" (Exodus 22, 30).
Judaism is a communal religion. Together bnai Yisrael(the children of Israel) crossed the Sea. Together we stood at Sinai.
One Yiddish word for the Jewish community is oilam. It comes from the familiar Hebrew word olam, which means the world. Indeed, the community isthe world. Yes, our personal lives and interior worlds are extremely significant. And, yes, we are not deeply concerned with the broader world. But we also acknowledge that we conduct our lives within the context of the community. This is healthy for us. Feeling part of a community, research shows, yields great benefits, mentally and physically.
How fortunate we are that so many of you celebrate your simchaswithin our EHNTJC community! It seems we celebrate another happy milestone once or twice each month. This Shabbat we celebrate two simchas – eight years of good health for Jerry Gross and 72 years – yes, 72years– of marriage for Marty and Shirley Lubowich. That's quardruple chai– good number indeed! Thank God for blessings to share. And thank you all for placing our community at the heart of your lives.
Rabbi Jeffrey Weill

IndieCade East 2016
Get in. Get out. Get paid.
During our time at IndieCade East we came upon a really interesting multiplayer game called 3 Nights in Chicago. Instead of the usual beat/shoot em up game that we are used to 3 Nights in Chicago has players teaming up to rob banks. It's an interesting take on the local multiplayer genre. The more we watched and played it, the more we found the premise made a lot of sense and seemed like a perfect fit.
3 Nights in Chicago is a senior thesis game from several students in the NYU Game Center. It was a little rough around the edges, but all in all it was a great game with tons of potential. We spoke to Carl Farra who is a part of the team behind 3 Nights in Chicago and had a blast with him. He was super nervous to be interviewed at first, but once the camera started rolling he knocked it out of the park and his enthusiasm and passion immediately took over.
Check out the interview below:
The interview was great. I loved learning about the game's origins and the team's willingness to scrap previous work to get what they wanted. I don't think I could have done that with a project I worked so hard on so close to a major deadline, but they did.
The gameplay is pretty fast paced and really interesting. 3 Nights in Chicago is not just some a mindless beat-em up. Players need to communicate with each other and pay attention to a lot things at once. You and your partner need to open safes to get money then take the money to your escape cars. You can also attack other players to stop them from collecting money. But there is a risk reward mechanic here. Attacking enemies can slow them down, but it also stops you from being able to help your partner open switches and get larger amounts of money. Also if you get knocked down, your partner is essentially on their own while you are stunned.
Figuring out how best to tackle a level to get the most money keeps you on your toes. I was surprised with the amount of depth and tactics needed for this game. Naturally, Carl and his teammate kicked Jasmine's and my butts in game. I can see this being one of those great party games that gets more and more entertaining the more my friends and I master it. I love multiplayer games that need strategy and cooperation.
I have high hopes for this game. As you can see in the interview, 3 Nights in Chicago can only get better. The team has built a solid foundation for a game that is already entertaining. Depending on how much work they are willing to put into it, 3 Nights could be the next big thing. The crowd really enjoyed it and we totally understand why.

Millions of devotees took a holy dip in the river Ganges in Haridwar on the auspicious day of Maha Shivratri. This is the first 'shahi-snan' day for this years Maha Kumbh mela.
In Haridwar, amidst chants of 'Bum Bum Bhole' and praises of Lord Shiva, the naga sadhus marched towards Ganges. Several groups of naga sadhus had joined today in Haridwar to take the holy dip. The local authorities had assigned different time zones for the dips, and the first to take to water were the sadhus from Juna Akhara. 7 other sects of sadhus, including the Naga Sadhus, took the Holy dip as the day progressed. Some akharas have moved to Vrindavan to celebrate the day.
Next dates for the holy bath during the Haridwar Kumbh Mela are March 15 (Somvati Amavasya), March 16 (Nvasamvatsar), March 24 (Rama Navami), March 30 (Chaitra Purnima), April 14 (Mesh Sankranti) and April 28 (Baishakh Adimasaha Purnima).

Spain entered a governing void Monday, facing weeks or months of uncertainty over what political party or parties will lead the country following a national election that fragmented the status quo. The result was so blurred that a German government spokeswoman said it was impossible to determine who deserved congratulations.
Although the ruling right-of-center Popular Party won the most votes, it failed to retain its parliamentary majority and will try to cobble together a coalition or minority government.
Spain's electorate changed the country's political landscape
The Spanish are waking up to a divided country. Political parties are struggling to form a government after a vote that broke the traditional two-party dominated structure.
CCTV's Dan Williams reports.
Spain\'s electorate changed the country's political landscapeThe Spanish are waking up to a divided country. Political parties are struggling to form a government after a vote that broke the traditional two-party dominated structure. CCTV's Dan Williams reports.
But that's unlikely, analysts say, because the party wouldn't get enough seats in the lower house of parliament even by allying itself with the new business-friendly Ciudadanos party that came in fourth place and is seen as the most likely ideological partner.
The ambiguous outcome helped push Spain's benchmark stock index down 3.1 percent in Madrid as investors fretted over the possibility of a governing alliance between the Socialist Party and the country's new far-left Podemos party, led by pony-tailed political science professor Pablo Iglesias.
Spanish voters go to the polls in an election that could limit the power of the two leading political parties. It is the most unpredictable election in 40 years, pitting the major, old-guard parties against two newcomers at a time of austerity. CCTV's Dan Williams …
That sort of combination could lead to a government that would try to roll back highly unpopular austerity measures imposed over the last four years by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. He vowed after the vote to try to form a government, but gave no details on how he would do so after winning just 123 seats in the 350-member lower house of parliament.
Rajoy said he would try to "form a stable government in the general interest of all Spaniards."
German government spokeswoman Cristiane Wirtz told reporters Monday that Spaniards deserve congratulations for voter participation of 73.2 percent, up from the 68.9 percent turnout in 2011 that gave Rajoy a 189-seat parliamentary majority.
"But otherwise, I don't yet see so clearly who one can congratulate in this situation," Wirtz said, adding that no one from Germany's government had contacted Spanish officials about the formation of a new government.
If forced from power, Rajoy and the Popular Party would become the third European victims this year of a voter backlash against austerity — following elections in Greece and Portugal seen as ballot box rebellions against unpopular tax hikes and spending cuts invoked during the eurozone's debt crisis.
Economist Mark Weisbrot on Spain's post-election economic future
CCTV America's Jessica Stone spoke to Mark Weisbrot, Co-Director of The Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington D.C. about his thoughts on what's next after Spain's historic election result.
Economist Mark Weisbrot on Spain's post-election economic futureCCTV America's Jessica Stone spoke to Mark Weisbrot, Co-Director of The Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington D.C. about his thoughts on what's next after Spain's historic election result.
In past Spanish elections, the Popular Party and the main opposition Socialists were the established powerhouses and only needed support from tiny parties to get a majority in parliament when they didn't win one from voters.
But Podemos came in a strong third place and Ciudadanos took fourth in their first election fielding national candidates.
The Socialists and Podemos on Monday ruled out voting in favor of Rajoy. Ciudadanos, which has repeatedly said it will never vote for Rajoy, said that at most it would abstain so the Popular Party could try to form a minority government — given that it was the most voted.
"Even if a stable coalition partnership emerges, the negotiations are unlikely to be swift, which implies that both consumers and businesses face a prolonged period of uncertainty," RBC Capital Markets said in a note to clients.
That could hurt business investment "precisely at a time when the Spanish economy is becoming increasingly reliant on domestic demand to fuel the recovery," RBC added.
Spaniards who cast ballots for Podemos and Ciudadanos said they weren't worried at all about the uncertainty their country could go through — or the prospect of another national election in the spring if no parties manage to cobble together a viable coalition or minority government that would rely on other parties to support it in passing legislation.
Instead, the voters who picked the upstart parties were elated at making history by upending the traditional two-party system. They blame the Socialists for plunging Spain into an extended economic crisis that began in 2008, and the Popular Party for an economic recovery accompanied by an unemployment rate of 21 percent and more than double that for workers under age 25.
Diplomat Ainara Gomez said the new panorama with four political parties forced into negotiations to find a way that Spain can be governed "will open a new scenario that is expected in all real democracies."
"Now it's up to the agreements between them so they can form a new government," she said. "We have to wait. Nothing is clear."
Former bank employee Eugenio Garcia said the Popular Party and the Socialists are to blame for "disappointment among the people."
"I'm happy with the situation and it forces the parties to negotiate to make a pact and discuss their politics, and I think this is a good thing," he said.
But school teacher Maribel Martinez, who voted for the Popular Party, was petrified that Spain could descend into political chaos with no stable government for months or an administration run by left-of-center and left-wing parties bent on reversing what Rajoy spent four years accomplishing.
"My worst fear is a union of all of the leftists," she said. "I don't think that these kind of alliances would be looked on well from abroad because they would be economically disastrous for the country."
For now, Rajoy stays on as the caretaker prime minister until parliament convenes on Jan. 13 and King Felipe VI proposes a candidate for prime minister, which could be Rajoy or the leader of another party.
Felipe must consider which party has a real possibility of winning a parliamentary confidence vote and forming a stable government, and will presumably find that out during talks with the parties.
It would be unprecedented but not be illegal or unconstitutional for an alliance of the second- and third-placed parties to get the nod. That has often happened in Spanish regional and local elections, but never following a general election.
In a first confidence vote, the candidate must get more than 50 percent of the full 350 votes in order to form a government.
If he falls short, he must get more votes for him than against him in a second ballot 48 hours later. That's a lower bar which allows parties to abstain, letting a rival into power in return for concessions.
If there is still deadlock after two months, the monarch calls a new election — probably in April or May.

The first FIFA Congress followed immediately and on 22 May 1904, Robert Guerin was elected as President. Victor E Schneider (Switzerland) and Carl Anton Wilhelm Hirschman (Netherlands) were made Vice-Presidents. Louis Muhlinghaus (Belgium) was appointed Secretary and Treasurer, with the assistance of Ludvig Sylow (Denmark). These pioneers were faced with an immense task because FIFA only existed on paper, as it were. Now came the real work: to give this new body shape and attract new members. In the first place, the English had to be convinced that their membership of this newly created organisation was indispensable.
On 14 April 1905, the Executive Committee of the FA recognised the national associations affiliated to FIFA and joined. This was FlFA's first big success and the credit was due Baron Edouard de Laveleye. With great personal effort, the president of the Union Belge des Sociétés de Sports Athlétiques dissipated the last misgivings of the English. The Baron became the first honorary member of FIFA.
The second FIFA Congress took place in Paris from 10 to 12 June 1905. In the meantime, the associations from Germany, Austria, Italy and Hungary had joined FIFA; Scotland, Wales and Ireland would follow England's example. There was already talk about an international competition to take place in 1906. It would consist of four groups and Switzerland would be in charge of organising the semi-finals and the final. There was a proposal to involve the best club teams and Schneider, the Swiss Vice-President, had already donated a trophy.
The FIFA Executive Committee was elected for a further year but now the difficulties were accumulating. The first international competition was a failure. Various national associations had major worries, with the French governing body divided internally. These difficulties were a heavy burden for the FIFA President who had set about his tasks with so much enthusiasm. Guerin increasingly withdrew from the sport and handed over the administration to Vice-President Schneider and Espir, his personal assistant.
All the same, FIFA could now give a sign of its strength. When the 'English Ramblers', an improvised English football club, wanted to play games on the continent without the authorisation of the FA, FIFA forbade its members from playing against this team. The FA, which like its three fellow British associations now had a good relationship with FIFA, was particularly impressed by this strict and uncompromising stance.
This was in clear evidence at the next Congress in Berne in 1906 where - with Schneider conducting negotiations in the absence of Guérin - Daniel Burley Woolfall, an Englishman, was elected the new President. Woolfall was a pragmatist and had gathered a great deal of experience on the administrative board of the FA. Under his guidance, English and continental football became more united. Moreover, he also led the push for uniformity in the Laws of the Game.
The idea of holding a major international competition was still up in the air and so the FA in England assumed the responsibility for staging a tournament that took place as part of the Olympic Games in London in 1908. Some problems arose in the organisation, which were still unsolved four years later in 1912, when the tournament was played in Stockholm. The new sport was regarded with suspicion at the Olympics and was considered as a show and not a competition. Given the amateur ethos of the Olympics, the problem of professional players also arose - a thorny problem which would be pursued in decades to follow. England won both the 1908 and 1912 tournaments.
The Congress which, in accordance with the Statutes, was to be held in different cities on an annual basis, was always presided over by President Woolfall. The will to impose uniform football rules on an international level always featured at the top of the agenda. This had a positive effect, resulting in the basic rules of the federation, which are still partly valid today and which allowed FIFA to create a solid base and develop clear guidelines.
Under the guidance of the English President, obvious progress was also made in the administration. The first official FIFA bulletin was published. It was agreed to have French as the official language. The application of the Laws of the Game, strictly established according to the English model, became compulsory. A clear definition was made of international matches - national selections and inter-club - and outsiders were forbidden to organise games for lucrative purposes.
FIFA only consisted of European Associations up until 1909. The first members from overseas joined in the following order: South Africa in 1909/10, Argentina and Chile in 1912, United States in 1913. This was the start of FlFA's intercontinental activities. The long path towards full expansion had been sketched out.

When asked why he has stayed with World Wide Movers, Inc for so long he replies, "It's a good company with steady work, good benefits, and management that has always been fair."

Stacked towns offer contemporary exterior details, and large windows with great urban views.
Thoughtful outdoor spaces are where The Vic Towns really shine, with gracious balconies, garden patios and spacious rooftop terraces with gas nib connections for barbecuing.California-inspired courtyard homes built and designed as a green community gathering place — a central spot to hang out with friends, kick back in the sun or swap stories with your neighbours.
There's a lot going on in this friendly (and definitely up-and-coming) pocket of North York. It has a wonderful, residential feel, and characterised by mid-century homes and quiet, leafy streets, with rental apartments and new condo developments rounding out the mix.
And the best part is, The Vic Towns aren't about changing the feel of the neighbourhood – they are specifically designed to complement and enhance it.
Because they're built by developers who specialize in urban infill projects, they are sensitive to the dynamics and aesthetics of the area, and to the unique needs and preferences of the local population. And because of that, city planners and local residents alike have welcomed the development to the neighbourhood.
They love that the newest addition to their area isn't a sterile, impersonal glass and steel tower, but a friendly low-rise that sits well in this residential enclave, adding to its warmth and family-friendly charm. There's a lot to do in the area, too. From great shopping to amazing green spaces, the incredible Aga Khan Museum and the iconic (and always fun) Ontario Science Centre, it's a terrific, vibrant part of the city that's only getting better.
Just minutes from the DVP, this is a location that gives you easy access to any part of the city. And transit access is great too, with frequent buses on the main routes along Eglinton and Victoria Park.
But the best is yet to come – The Vic Towns are steps from the future Eglinton Crosstown, the light rail transit (LRT) line that will be completed by 2021.

Wonderful Blankets
I ordered three of these for my daughter when she had her first baby. Now she has delivered her second baby and they are just as soft and nice as the day we bought them, actually even softer. I just purchased three more because they are such useful blankets. Her son loves them. These would be wonderful gifts for any mother.

CAMPAIGNERS who fought so hard to save children's heart surgery in Southampton were once again under pressure to prove just how vital the service is to critically ill youngsters across the south.
Just five months after celebrating the news that Southampton's paediatric cardiac unit had been saved from the axe, surgeons, nurses and parents spent yesterday trying to convince an independent panel that the right decision was made.
Yesterday the Independent Reconfiguration Panel (IRP) was at Southampton General Hospital as they continue their review into the decision taken by the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts (JCPCT) to close three units in the UK.
The review was sparked after two of the three hospitals, Leeds Infirmary and Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, raised concerns over the decision, prompting the Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt to order a full probe into the decision made in July.
But Sam Prior – one of the mums who celebrated victory in July after a massive campaign to save Southampton's unit, which culminated in more than 250,000 people signing the Daily Echo's Have a Heart petition that was taken to Downing Street – believes lives are being put at risk by these "unnecessary" delays.
She said: "Two years ago we asked the then Secretary of State, Andrew Lansley, to step in during the consultation process and ensure a fair and open consultation, but he declined. If they had done that then, this further delay would not be necessary. It's unfair to put us all through this again.
"However, I am confident that we were able to put Southampton's strong case forward, because when it comes to quality we are the second best in the country and that has never been in doubt.
"In fact we are in an even stronger position than we were when the consultation started because we have a working relationship with Oxford, which is exactly what the review is aspiring to create."
She added that the panel heard from a number of families who had chosen to have their child treated at Southampton, rather than in London as they wanted their child to received treatment in the best quality centre.
The panel, chaired by Lord Ribeiro, is visiting all ten children's cardiac centres to "assess" the evidence and "listen" to the views of those involved to ensure the decisions reached were "safe and sustainable" to all patients.
When asked if Southampton would be safe Lord Ribeiro was unable to give any reassurances, saying: "We do not make decisions, we purely provide the Secretary of State with advice based on the evidence undertaken during our review."
He added that this was not about comparing Southampton with other units and that this was a "listening" process to see if the decision by the JCPCT meant that children with congenital heart disease were getting the quality of care they need. He said: "We can understand that people would be anxious but this is a democratic process."
The IRP will make recommendations to the Health Secretary by March 28. The final decision on any changes to services will be made by Mr Hunt.
To have your say in the review you can email email@example.com, or write to IRP, 6th Floor, 157-197 Buckingham Palace Road, London, SW1W 9SP or leave a voice message on 020 7389 8046.

clear | modern | fresh | web design for the masses
Strawberry How Nursery required a clean, accessible and informative site, mainly for current or prospective parents of children at the nursery. The Joomla content management system was used as an infrastructure for this project.
A bright and colourful header image was offset by minimal, gray and gradient based design, with live news feeds, galleries, a login system for parents to access parent-only areas and add-ons such as google maps and calendars.
The result is an easy to navigate, comprehensive site, that will take Strawberry How into the future and create integration and involvement of the children, parents and staff.
This website was produced by Photon Web Design based in Nottingham. We would like to thank Photon for their excellent manner in dealing with our never ending stream of questions and their willingness to be patient when we didn't understand. We would recommend Photon Web Design to anyone who needs a website designed with care.

In my last post, I explained how Switzerland, having rejected in a referendum in December 1992 the EEA Agreement which it had signed in May, and having thereupon suspended its membership application to the European Community which it had made in the same month of May 1992, then found an alternative means of participating in the EU/EEA single market. First, it further developed the practice, which it had begun in 1988, of the autonomous adoption of EU law into its own domestic legislation; and second, it successfully negotiated with the EU a series of bilateral agreements, building upon the already extant 1972 Free Trade Agreement, which have given Switzerland a degree of access to the single market almost certainly greater than that of any other state outside the EU/EEA, but without the peril of being obliged (I am discounting here the virtually unusable right of reservation contained in Article 102 of the EEA Agreement) to adopt new EU legislation as it issues forth from the Commission.
Category Archives: DCFTA
Is there a European free trade zone?
Michael Gove claimed this week that there exists a European free trade zone. He said:
There is a free trade zone stretching from Iceland to Turkey that all European nations have access to, regardless of whether they are in or out of the euro or EU. [his footnote n. 26] After we vote to leave we will remain in this zone. The suggestion that Bosnia, Serbia, Albania and the Ukraine would remain part of this free trade area – and Britain would be on the outside with just Belarus – is as credible as Jean-Claude Juncker joining UKIP.
His only supporting reference for this claim, as given in the above document, is this map from the EU:
IEA Brexit Prize winning entry (part 4)
The Eastern Partnership and the acquis
I left off yesterday with a puzzle: why does Mansfield, after rejecting the idea of joining the EEA (through EFTA) because of the necessity of incorporating EU Single Market legislation, and advocating instead a looser arrangement, similar to that of the nations of the Eastern Partnership, then suggest that we would have to adopt 2/3 of the acquis communitaire? My difficulty is that the proportion of the acquis adopted by Norway and the other EFTA-EEA nations is lower than this, at least by most measure.
I think I may have found the answer. Continue reading

Hope y'all had a great 4th of July!
Thanks to some passed along Pinterest inspiration (lydiasnextstep for those who want to check out boards I call my own including New Home Inspiration), I walked into my sister's house for a weekend barbeque and saw something quite familiar on her kitchen counter!
How cute - and easy - are these red, white and blue strawberries! A little white chocolate, some blue sugar and voila.
Here's to fireworks and the fourth!

Rewind to the Seventies. It was a time after the Stonewall riots in New York City and the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales. The first Pride marches had taken root. The era of sexual liberation was underway as queer people found their freedom in the streets, bars and bathhouses of the Western world's major cities. Young people flocked to dance and celebrate, revelling in the joyous explosion of newfound identity. It was a time before the Aids crisis, before wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and financial crashes; before the world forgot how to love.
It's this spirit of celebration and pleasure, underscored by social responsibility and community, that has inspired Glastonbury's NYC Downlow.

Having fun with your iPad? It might be time to share your toy with the kids. Check out these apps that make the iPad child's play.
It may take one or two turns for preschoolers to get the hang of 123 Color by Steve Glinberg but once they do, they will be scrolling through the colour palette looking for the perfect shade of green and learning numbers and the alphabet at the same time. Neat sound effects let kids know that they are on the right path and there is the added option of additional languages if you want your three-year-old to be brushing up on their French. The app also includes lots of good old fashioned 'colouring in' pages, a world map with 'pins' to identify countries and cities, finger painting, twenty-five songs and optional voice-overs (including an Australian voice – yay!).
Also with an educational focus is the fun Fish School by Duck Duck Moose. The concept is simple – schools of fish swim around to form numbers, letters and shapes. There is also the alphabet song, a cute colour game and a fishy take on the 'memory' game. Preschoolers can drive the app or they can just sit back and watch the colourful fish rearranging.
I ordinarily steer away from commercial characters simply because there is so much out there and once you start buying, your kids don't let you stop. However, we do have a soft spot for Buzz, Woody and the Toy Story gang (plus a fridge full of Toy Story yoghurt, a fridge covered in Toy Story magnets, Toy Story games, Toy Story Lego, books, stickers, fake tattoos… you see what I mean!). That said, the Toy Story read-along digital book is pretty swish. The app includes colouring and music extras but little fans will simply enjoy familiar characters on the iPad.
Fruit Ninja is one of those games that I file under 'Can't tell you why it's so much fun, it just is!' (right there alongside 'Paper Toss' and 'Scoops'). Using your finger as a 'knife', the aim of the game is to slice through as much fruit as you can within a certain time. Little kids will enjoy the 'Zen' version of the game that will have them chopping watermelons, berries, apples, bananas, kiwis and more at a cracking pace. Older children will like the more competitive version of the game that doesn't give you any opportunity to miss a piece a fruit. The iPad version of Fruit Ninja lets two people play at the same time.
I'll quote my eight-year-old son for a review of the highly addictive game, Angry Birds – "It's awesome!" Basically you catapult little red birds to destroy the fortresses of the green pigs. Little fingers will have to be dextrous to get the bird aiming at the correct angle but like all of these games, kids pick it up very quickly. As you play, you unlock different levels of the game. My favourite bits are the sound effects – those birds really are cranky.
Lastly, calm things down after angry birds and frenetic fruit chopping with the sublime Koi Pond. It's not a game and is not designed specifically for children but kids will find watching fish swim through the amazingly real water strangely calming.
More portable than those executive toys of the nineties where you pushed sand around a wooden box with a miniature rake but equally as mesmerising, Koi Pond has lots of options to customise your pond. I especially like the ambient nature sounds that you can add a sleep timer to. Designed specifically in high definition for the iPad, the pond is stunningly realistic.
Still want more? Check out some of the apps for the iPad featured previously on Babyology.

Prototype and description of the function distanceutm()
(Function of the unlock requiring group "Distance calculations")
distanceutm() Distance on the earth ellipsoid in meters between two UTM coordinates. Prototype of the DLL function in C++ syntax (attend lower case!): extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) unsigned long __stdcall distanceutm( double nUtmEast1, double nUtmNorth1, double nUtmEast2, double nUtmNorth2, double *nDistance, unsigned short nEllipsoid) Prototype of the DLL function in Visual Objects syntax: _DLL function distanceutm(; nUtmEast1 as real8,; // 8 Byte nUtmNorth1 as real8,; // 8 Byte nUtmEast2 as real8,; // 8 Byte nUtmNorth2 as real8,; // 8 Byte nDistance ref real8,; // 4 Byte nEllipsoid as word); // 4 Byte as logic pascal:geodll32.distanceutm // 4 Byte The function calculates the distance on the earth ellipsoid between two UTM coordinates and returns it as distance in meters The Vincenty Inverse Formula is used for the distance calculation on the earth ellipsoid, which computes the result with high accuracy. The UTM coordinates nUtmEast1 / nUtmNorth1 and nUtmEast2 / nUtmNorth2 must be passed to the function. The easting values must contain the UTM strip number. The coordinate pairs may be located on the same meridian strips or on neighboring meridian strips. However, they must be on the same earth hemisphere. In nEllipsoid the necessary ellipsoid is passed. If in nEllipsoid the value 0 is passed, then the geodetic ellipsoid WGS84 is used. If in nEllipsoid the value 1000 is passed, the function uses the semi axes of the user-defined earth ellipsoid passed before by the function setuserellsource(). The result of the distance calculation is returned in the parameter nDistance in meters. The parameters are passed and/or returned as follows: nUtmEast1 UTM easting of the first coordinate point. nUtmNorth1 UTM northing of the first coordinate point. nUtmEast2 UTM easting of the second coordinate point. nUtmNorth2 UTM northing of the second coordinate point. nDistance Distance between the points in meters as result of the (ref) computation nEllipsoid Geodetic ellipsoid. The ellipsoid numbers are specified at the bottom part of the list "Systems sorted alphabetical". The numbers of the Reference Systems specified in the list "Systems sorted by countries" can be used also. returnVal In case of an error the function returns FALSE, otherwise TRUE. Unlocking: This function is a component of the unlock requiring function group "distance calculations". It is unlocked for unrestricted use together with the other functions of the group by passing the unlock parameters, acquired from the software distribution company, trough the function setunlockcode(). Without unlocking only a few function calls for test purposes (shareware principle) are possible.

The Lingerie Football League is famous for a lot of things — youth camps, coach fights, contests where the grand prize is attacking your favorite woman — but is perhaps best known for its UNDERWEAR FIGHTS Y'ALL, which happen organically and are not staged at all.
The latest underwear fight (in the form of an LFL All-Star Game teaser, which is hilarious) features Tessa Barrara of the Los Angeles Temptation delivering a late hit on Kyle DeHaven of the Baltimore Charm and getting punched in the stomach. What follows is an Old Man in A Christmas Story-style profane tirade that begs the question — What does it mean when one woman calls another a "f**king pussy"?
Welcome to football! The NSFW video is after the jump.
YouTuber Berniewrestle has more:
Glad that this is being showed uncensored, because once you censor the cussing, the wardrobe malfunctions etc…it lower the uniqueness of the product.
The LFL All-Star Game is being streamed on the LFL's Facebook page for free this Saturday, which should be fun to watch, assuming you've already done and seen literally everything else on Earth.

Good morning! Today I am sharing my final layout as this month's Guest Designer for The ScrapRoom.
Kit Club members receive the benefit of recipes to help them put together all the 2 page layouts that are created by Design Team members. More information on these recipes and on joining the kit club are available on The ScrapRoom website.
I used the Maggie Holmes Bloom paper from the FOTM kit to create my page. I used all of the embellishments, adding a few extras from my stash, including the alphas for the title. I really liked how these papers all work together. I used both sides of some of them.
My friends and I get together for a scrapbook weekend getaway every summer. We call it "Camp". We love camp. We have so much fun that we never want to leave.
Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. There is always more to share, so come back again soon.

The UK is finally having the heat wave we have longed for and my tip for surviving the heat is to keep toner in the fridge. Your toner will be nice and chilled and should help cool you down.
Since my last review Tropic have made slight changes to the ingredients of their toner, it now contains rose water. I know many people love the fragrance of rose but it is not one of my favourite scents so I was initially disappointed that the toner had changed. However I will say that this particular rose fragrance is light and not artificial so I tolerate it.

We provide comfortable, cost effective and luxurious private vehicle to accomodate your business or travel needs. All you have to do is prearrange your ride by booking in advance. There are no hidden fees with our service.
Stade de France is an omnisports stadium built in the framework of the soccer world cup of 1998. It can host various sports events including football, rugby, athletics and also various shows. Set up to mitigate the fact that the Parc des Princes stadium at the door of Auteuil was too small to host a World Cup final.
Stade de France cost around 300 million euros, of which one third will have been used to set up secondary installations. It was inaugurated by Jacques Chirac on January 28, 1998, then President of the Republic, on the occasion of a France-Spain match. To date, the France stadium welcomed hundreds of sports competitions.
At the time of its construction, the largest French stadium had a capacity of 45,000 seats, while the State had to provide a stadium of at least 80,000 seats, so that it also accommodated the most Major sporting events. To date, this stadium has more than 80,000 seats, making it one of the largest stadiums in Europe. Located in the Plaine district in Saint-Denis, its architecture was inspired by Worldport, a stadium located in the New York Airport JFK complex.
Since its inauguration, the Stade de France hosted the World Cup in 1998, the World Athletics Championships in 2003, the Rugby World Cup in 2007, two finals of Champion's league in 2000 and 2006, one Final of Hcup in 2010 and that of Euro 2016.
The Stade de France is the French stadium which has hosted the largest number of prestigious sports events in the country. To these sporting events are added the memorable concerts of several pop singers. The Rolling Stone, AC / DC, Madonna at the Black Eyed Peas, Johnny Hallyday at U2 and many other great artists from around the world have been able to take advantage of this stadium to showcase exceptional performances.
The Stade de France will be forever marked by the attacks of 13 November 2016, when during a friendly match played by the French team and at a time when the ball was in the feet of Patrice Evra, detonations are heard and compel The president of the republic François Hollande and the rest of the public of the stadium, including players, to evacuate the place and come to note the damage by themselves. This stadium should still play the leading roles in Olympism if France obtains the IOC's approval to organize the Olympic Games of 2024.

The future of law firms requires bold, decisive actions by managing partners who must run law firms as businesses, according to the wide-ranging law firm leadership report "MPF Insight, Re-Envisioning the Law Firm: How to Lead Change and Thrive in the Future." The paper, which incorporates responses from more than 230 managing partners, examines the state of the legal industry and provides detailed recommendations for ensuring a law firm's future success in a time of radical change.
"This report is one of the most comprehensive surveys of small and midsize law firm managing partners ever published," said Terry M. Isner, President of Marketing and Business Development at Jaffe. "Managing partners have to be strategic with thoughtful and deliberately bold actions to remain effectively competitive. It won't be easy. The report reviews challenges and long-term trends that law firms currently face and provides recommendations for responding to seven key areas, including leadership and governance, problematic partners, succession planning, recruiting, and more."
A joint effort between Jaffe, The Managing Partner Forum, a community of small and midsize law firm leaders, and TheRemsenGroup, a leading authority on law firm leadership, strategic planning, marketing and business development, the report is based on three themes:
- The law firm must be run like a business (not more like a business, but like a business).
- The managing partner must take ownership of leading the effort.
- Firm owners must take responsibility for embracing, engaging with and implementing the necessary changes for operating like a business.
"Managing partners must exercise strong leadership skills to handle the human element in addition to helming the management direction for the firm," said John Remsen, Jr., President and CEO of The Managing Partner Forum. "Opportunities abound for firms willing to make the necessary adaptions. This paper can serve as a guidepost for firms that will focus on accountability, adjust and streamline processes, groom their future leaders, and make necessary tough decisions."
The report sources information from two surveys:
- The Managing Partner Forum Leadership & Governance Survey – 147 managing partners' responses to a confidential online survey collected in April 2016.
- The Managing Partner Forum Audience Polling Results – input from 86 managing partners who attended the Managing Partner Forum Leadership Conference in May 2016.

Hotel Tech Worth Applauding: Bunking with Alexa
By Robert McGarvey
Finally a hotel technology push – a big one – that is worth applauding. Wynn Las Vegas has announced that its 4748 rooms will be equipped with Amazon Echo, the voice driven answer machine, aka Alexa.
Much – most – hotel tech "innovation" leaves me bored or cranky. It's an industry that generally is at the rear of the curve when it comes to technology adoption and I point you to the silly in-room phones that hoteliers continue to talk about. No, I haven't used one in a decade and can't say I miss this.
Hoteliers also babble about robots which, I suppose, are okay but I have not personally seen one yet and can't say I care. Ditto for beacons, which are the buzz in some quarters.
Alexa is a different matter. I have owned an Alexa since January 2015, and just recently installed a second, the diminutive Dot – in another room in my house. I don't go a day without talking with the Echoes I own. Alexa has dramatically simplified my life and is a poster child for technology that works.
Here is why I am excited about what Wynn is doing: Let me take you back maybe five years when I checked into a Strip hotel. I don't name it not to protect the guilty but because I don't remember which one. In Las Vegas I have no brand loyalty and generally stay close to whatever meeting brings me to town.
But Wynn may be winning me over to the Wynn brand with Echo because this solves a big problem for me.
Back in Las Vegas some years ago – I come back to the room late one night, the window's drapes are to the sides, the lights of the Strip cascade into my darkened room. I have to close the drapes to sleep. Honestly, it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to use the electronic system to close the things so that I could go to sleep.
In some rooms, too, in-room lighting is a mystery to me. Occasionally so is the thermostat.
Wynn Hotels plan to solve exactly that pain with its Echo installation. The device will roll out with a limited range of skills but they are exactly what I want in a Strip hotel. In a press release Steve Wynn said, "The ability to talk to your room is effortlessly convenient. In partnership with Amazon, becoming the first resort in the world in which guests can verbally control every aspect of lighting, temperature and the audio-visual components of a hotel room is yet another example of our leadership in the world of technology for the benefit of all of our guests."
That's a helluva tangled sentence but as I parse it, Wynn is saying you can ask his Echoes to close the drapes, turn lights on or off, raise or lower the temperature, probably control the TV.
And exactly those are the things that too often confuse me in Las Vegas rooms.
Wynn's Alexa should also be able to handle the questions and tasks I throw at mine daily: What's the weather? What time is it? Set an alarm for 6 a.m.. Give me a news update. Etc.
You can do the latter – much of it – with Siri, certainly with Google's voice recognition tools. But neither of them can handle your in-room comfort and what matters more than opening/closing the drapes, setting the temperature and the limited range of Wynn specific skills enabled on his Echoes.
If I had to predict a hospitality tech trend for 2017 and beyond it is that we will see more voice activated devices in hotel rooms, at least those with somewhat sophisticated in-room equipment. And probably the winner will be Dot, mainly because of the price point. Amazon sticker s $50 – but I got mine for $25 (net), by combining various Amazon offers.
The big brother Echo costs $140. That's what Wynn is installing.
Google Home costs $129. It's doubtless a good device – Google voice rec works superbly on my Pixel phone, vastly better than Siri on an iPhone. But Amazon already has a vast user base and that's a plus for any hotelier. Guests need no instruction with Echo.
Watch, too, as Wynn enables more skills – that's my bet. Soon guests will be able to make restaurant reservations, book spa treatments, buy show tickets just by talking with their in-room assistant. Program the device to know the room it is in, that connects to a credit card and right there commerce is enabled. Send the guest a confirming email and there's some verification. I'd use it.
Now if only hotels would finally eliminate the front desk check in routine, a process that is honestly unchanged in my 40 years of checking into hotels. Okay, way back when, accounts were usually settled with cash, not credit cards, but really nothing else has changed. For many years hoteliers have talked of eliminating the front desk check in. I'm still waiting.
And you know what? Alexa already is Expedia enabled and, probably with some minor tweaks, Expedia could handle check-in, even issue an electronic key to my phone.
I'm ready. Are you?

text: Do I need to pull this branch? 10. August 2016 Kamil Mrzygłód .NET , Pumpkin Comments (0) One of the problems I faced during my recent work on Pumpkin was to check, whether it has to pull a new version of a repository. Using only git commands it's a nice and easy task, from C# code perspective it requires a bit more gymnastics. Currently Pumpkin uses libgit2sharp library to communicate with each git repository so I was constrained to use its API. The first thing I thought about was to use git status command: using (var repo = new Repository("foo/bar")) { foreach (var item in repo.RetrieveStatus()) { } } but though it gives a perfect info about status of a local repository, it doesn't touch remote. Dead end. Another idea was to use git diff because of plenty of different overloads, which seemed to be feasible to get desired result: using (var repo = new Repository("foo/bar")) { foreach (TreeEntryChanges c in repo.Diff.Compare<TreeChanges>(repo.Head.Tip.Tree, DiffTargets.Index)) { } } but from the performance point of view I decided, that preparing a diff and analyzing it, is not the best option, if I can find a better one. The easiest and the best option seemed to compare SHAs of head commits from the local and the remote. It was easier than I thought: using (var repo = new Repository("foo/bar")) { var current = repo.Head.Tip.Sha; var remote = repo.Branches["origin/branch"].Tip.Sha; } With such approach I can operate on the very basic info of a repository, without a need to call additional git command.

The petals of these romantic flowers are overlapping paper hearts, inscribed with words or single letters that spell out a message. If you make them with wire stems, the valentines can be displayed in a vase; with ribbon stems, they can be tucked into envelopes.
Tools and Materials
Colored paper
24-gauge wire
Small beads
Floral tape or glue
Valentine Flowers How-To
1. Cut out five to eight hearts of the same size, and inscribe them. Use a pushpin to make a hole near the pointed end of each heart.
2. For a wire stem, thread a small bead onto a piece of 24-gauge wire cut a little longer than you want the stem to be; twist the wire so the bead stays at the end. Thread hearts on the other end until all the hearts are stacked against the bead. Twist the wire again to keep the hearts in place. Cover the stem with floral tape, or glue ribbon around the wire.
3. For a ribbon stem, thread a bead to the center of a 3-inch length of wire, and bend the wire in half. Send the ends through the hole in each heart. On the back, form the two ends into a small loop around the midpoint of a length of ribbon; trim the excess wire.

If you're writing epic fantasy, odds are at some point your protagonist is going to have to fight. Whether they're a sword wielding battle-scarred pro, or an inexperienced newcomer terrified of conflict – there are a few universal rules that can help.
1. Stakes
If your character is going to risk life and liberty there had better be a good reason for it. The greater the stakes, the more the character is going to risk. So although Bilbo may lament the loss of his handkerchief at the beginning of The Hobbit he is hardly going to face down a trio of trolls to save it. However if the lives of 13 others are at stake, and his survival outside the Shire depends on their release, he's more likely to risk his life to save them.
Your character's goal is never the fight itself. The fight is always a vehicle to achieving something else. (Freedom, recovering something, obtaining information, saving someone).
2. Tension
There should be moments when it looks like your protagonist has failed. There's nothing worse in a fight scene than your hero walking it. The guards are dispatched without much effort, the key to the cell door is easy to find, and a fast horse waiting by the door whips them safely off into the night.
It's always easy to up the ante – just think of what could go wrong and let that play out.
The guards are able to raise an alarm. The stronghold is holding a tournament so it's not just everyday guards, but champion fighters now swarming the halls. The person being rescued isn't there. When they are located the only key to their cell was attached to the belt of the guard the hero just pushed out the window. A portcullis is lowered trapping them inside. And when they manage to fight their way to the wall – they see the horse and companions waiting outside have been grabbed too.
But because you're clever, your hero finds an ingenious way to escape and free the companions at the same time.
When your protagonist escapes by the narrowest of margins, your reader will hopefully feel relief rather than disbelief.
3. Plausibility
It doesn't matter how physically amazing your hero is, there is no way one person can defeat a whole army in hand-to-hand conflict. Know your characters skills and design a fight sequence that will work for them. In The Lord of the Rings the hobbits manage to avoid many fight scenes because they are small enough to crawl off unnoticed. However when Sam defeats Shelob he uses his small stature and her greater size to his advantage.
4. Focus on the Action
I love the dictionary definition of action:
The state or process of doing something.
Not planning, thinking, or talking about what's going to happen. The actual doing.
Fight scenes are cause and effect. Someone throws a punch, you either get hit or you dodge it. If you get hit, you rally as fast as you can (even if you are wobbly or winded). If you dodge, you need to counter in some form. Your characters don't have time to over think, so don't do it when you're writing either.
That's not to say a fight scene is just a blow-by-blow account either, just that the character's main focus is in the moment. They can feel despair as their face hits the dirt, because in that moment all they can see is the holy grail (the goal) slipping away from them. Just remember the opponent wants to end this fight fast too, so keep it moving.
5. Pace
Write fast. Use short sentences. Employ explosively active verbs; thrust, tackle, smash, mash, pummel, hammer, crush…
6. Recovery
Make sure the character feels the impact afterwards. Fighting always takes its toll – whether it's in the form of injuries sustained, or counting the emotional cost of achieving the goal.
Fights are as unique as the opponents, and ultimately as the writer you are in control of the circumstances and the environment. The key is to get inside the head of your character and play to their strengths.

Today's poet is Rachael Clyne, who lives in Glastonbury. Her prizewinning collection, Singing at the Bone Tree, (Indigo Dreams) is about nature and the wild self. Anthologies: The Very Best of 52, Book of Love and Loss, Poems for a Liminal Age. Magazines: Poetry Space, Reach, Tears in the Fence, Fat Damsel, Interpreters House.
I enjoy Rachael's elision of the wild and the domestic in much of her published work.
Home Cooking
Deserted houses hold their abandonment, like aged spinsters waiting for a carer to breeze in with small chat, briskly raise a smile, then with swift wipe of flannel, steer her charge too early to bed. Sometimes they hang in rows like bats, swop gossip in the dark, beyond human hearing. Houses have anecdotes that need telling, ailments that need tending.
They are social creatures, despite the secrets they guard behind walls. Other times houses are hungry, rattle cutlery against double-glazing, venetian blinds. Beware the famished intent of a 1950's semi, its penchant for coronation chicken, stair rods, prawn cocktail and blancmange. Terraced houses desire parquet, caviar and pâté, chomp at the bit for a slice of cinnamon toast, while those in grandiose crescents long for plain fare: rag-rugs, egg n chips, mushy peas, baked beans.
They possess no can openers but rely on residents to provide. I once met a dairy-intolerant vicarage with a taste for sardines. Most of all they crave the flesh of human to roll around the tongue and swallow whole. They like to hoard them, stuff them, digest slowly over long periods then regurgitate. Houses often compete to see how far they can spit them out.

When You are Gone
I will find you in the stars' cradle, your mouth-fur stilled. Your long slow fade into transparency. Your no longer tiptoe, tightrope walk, one paw in front of the other placed with careful attention, kicking each back foot, as if to shake off dew from the water you licked. Outside, the milk-bowl moon searches the grass for you. The hollow of your bed is silent, tries to gather your warm scent into its folds. Those pheromone molecules, each day, drift to join their maker, mingle with the ordinary, until vanished into a thicker air.

Thingeyri Airport
The operation consisted of redesign and extension of existing runway, expansion of safety areas, new landing lights and relocation of a new road for the airport operator, Isavia. The redesign of existing runway is to improve its utilization for scheduled flights.
The existing runway was extended from 950 m to 1084 m and each end is elevated so the runway is horizontal. The safety areas were expanded from 10 m to 25 m. The total width of the runway including the safety areas were extended by 80 m. An additionally 60 m safety area at each end of the runway finalized with the same structure as the runway itself. Pull-through conduit, light collars and pothole constructed as well as extension of the drain. The runway, apron and rotation areas at each end of the runway asphalted. New 0.3 km road installed in class C2 with asphalt and new 2 km road in class D with gravel surface because of the changes in the runway.
Engineering design of the runway, electricity, cost estimate and tender documents.

Apple has changed the way you need to reset or hard reboot your iPhone 7 or 7 Plus if it's frozen or not responding. Check it out here on how to do it.
Since iPhone was released many years ago, the way you reset the iPhone is pretty much the same way – pressing the home button and sleep/wake button simultaneously.
You need to reset or hard reset if your iPhone is frozen or is not responsive at all. It's also used during the early days when you need to jailbreak your iPhone.
However, beginning iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the way you reset will be slightly different, although it is still requires you to press some buttons.
How to Reset or Reboot iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
1. Press and hold both the volume down button and sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds.
2. Your device will reboot and you will see the Apple logo.
The photo below shows how it is done.
What's the rationale for Apple doing this? It may have something to do with the rumour that Apple will remove the physical home button altogether in the next version of iPhone.
Changing the way to reset it on this model will give some Apple some data and feedback.

Racial Choice at Century's End in Contemporary African American Literature
Tucker, Kaylen
Washington, Mary H
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation introduces the term "racial choice" to describe a contemporary idea that racial identity can be chosen or elected, as can the significance and the influence of race on an individual's identity. Racial choice emerges out of the shifting historical, cultural, and social discussions of race and identity we have witnessed after integration. This dissertation examines the resulting representations of contemporary black identity in African American literature by analyzing texts that were published in the last quarter of the twentieth century and that feature protagonists that come of age during or after integration. Andrea Lee's Sarah Phillips (1984), Danzy Senna's Caucasia (1998), and Paul Beatty's The White Boy Shuffle (1996) are representative texts that engage racial choice to register how the racial hierarchy has changed in the late twentieth century and how that change affects the African American literary tradition of race writing. In their attempts to write outside of the existing racial paradigm--using white flight, passing, and satire as narrative strategies--the authors test the racial boundaries of African American literature, finding that writing outside of race is ultimately unachievable. The introductory chapter explains the cultural, literary, and scholarly context of my study, arguing that because race matters differently in the late twentieth century contemporary African American literature handles race uniquely. I argue in my first chapter that Lee uses white flight as a narrative form to move Sarah Phillips beyond the influence of racialization and to suggest class as an alibi for racial difference. Continuing this theme amidst the Black Power Movement of the 1970s and the multiracial project of the 1990s, my second chapter analyzes Senna's Caucasia, which revises the passing narrative form and explores the viability of choosing a biracial identity. In my third chapter, I show how Beatty's The White Boy Shuffle satirizes the African American protest tradition to point up the performativity necessary in maintaining racial binaries and suggests that culture is a more accurate identifier than race. My concluding chapter argues that though the three novels under study challenge racial categories--and by extension race writing--to different degrees, they all use similar methods to point up the shifting significance of race, racial categories, and racial identity. By historicizing attitudes about racial categories, challenging the dichotomous understanding of race, representing the tensions of racial authenticity, and showing the performativity necessary to maintain racial categories, the novels illustrate the traditional boundaries of racial choice and attempt to stretch the limits of the African American literary tradition.
