With its new football practice fields near completion and construction on a new football center on schedule to open in the summer of 2013, Arkansas announced Friday that it is moving forward with the next phase of its Athletics Facility Master Plan.
That includes a new basketball practice facility, a student-athlete success center (athletic academic and dining facility) and a baseball and track indoor training facility.
"As the football center continues to progress, we are taking the necessary steps for the planning of the next three facilities in our Athletics Facilities Master Plan," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "The basketball practice facility, student-athlete success center and the baseball and track indoor training facility are essential to the future success of our program. Our focus remains on providing student-athletes with the resources they need to win in the Southeastern Conference and nationally.
"We are grateful to the Donald. W. Reynolds Foundation and its chairman, Fred W. Smith, for their $1.25 million gift toward the student-athlete success center. We hope others will join them in financially supporting these projects that will benefit more than 460 student-athletes annually."
While no definitive timeline has been announced, an Arkansas release states that Razorbacks Athletics has Issued Requests for Qualifications for the three projects.
A recommendation will now go to the Board of Trustees for its approval and contingent on its approval the facilities will then be built and funded entirely by athletic revenues, gifts and bond proceeds from a future bond issue.
The basketball practice facility – expected to cost between $20-25 million - will be located south of Leroy Pond Road, between Bogle Park and The Gardens – and be directly across from Bud Walton Arena.
It will be approximately 70,000-85,000 square feet and will include all operational components for both the men's and women's basketball teams.
It will include separate gyms for the men's and women's teams, lockers rooms for both teams, weight rooms, training rooms and offices for the staffs of both programs.
Also the facility will house coaching staff suites, meeting rooms, a team lounge and a museum honoring the success of the program throughout the years.
Two Dallas area basketball standouts – Kendal Harris and Jordan Mickey - have visited Arkansas this week and both talked about the new basketball facility – dubbed "The Lab."
"It looks great to me," Harris said. "The players and the coaches are all excited about it and I can understand why. They said the players will be able to get in and shoot anytime and work on their game and that really interests me. I want to go to a place where I can work on my game at any time."
The Student-Athlete Success Center will serve as the new Bogle Academic Center and help in the development of the school's 460 student-athletes.
It will be a facility somewhere between 47,000-58,000 square foot.
That facility – expected to cost between 18-23 million - will include tutorial rooms, group study rooms, quiet study areas, a computer lab, learning laboratories focuses on math, science and language skills as well as a 500-seat auditorium.
It will also house a dining hall and a full-service kitchen and have offices for a sports psychologist, nutritionist and student-development staff.
The proposed location of the new baseball and track indoor workout area is on the north side of the existing Randal Tyson Track Center.
It will include 40,000-45,000 square feet of climate-controlled practice space – including a full practice infield, throwing area, batting cages areas and ancillary team spaces for baseball.
A big thing for the track program will be an area in the building that will allow for all throwing events, which now take place in Walker Pavilion, the football program's indoor workout facility.
It will also house a shared strength and conditioning space and a training room for both places and the projected cost is somewhere between $7.75 and $9.625 million.
It was also announced earlier this week that former Razorback and current LPGA star golfer Stacy Lewis has donated $100,00- toward the Arkansas golf program.

Solving OSGi "Uses" Constraint Violations
One of the thornier deployment problems we sometimes come across in OSGi is the dreaded "uses constraint violation". I recently helped a client to solve one of these, and it occurred to me to document the problem and the approach to solving it.
Be warned that this post is quite long and boring. You may not want to read it all right now, but perhaps Google will bring you back here when you first encounter a uses-constraint violation in the wild.
What is a Uses Constraint Anyway??
You may have already read Glyn Normington's excellent article, which goes into quite a bit of depth on the subject, but regretably without the assistance of pretty pictures, so if you are a visual thinker like me then you might find the following explanation more accessible.
Starting with the basics, in OSGi we have dependencies based on Java packages. Some bundle exports a package, possibly with a version number, and another bundle imports it, possibly specifying an acceptable range of versions:
This notation is borrowed from the OSGi specification: a black rectangle is an export and a white rectangle is an import. The surrounding yellow blobs are bundles. The line between the export and the import means that OSGi has chosen that specific export as a match for the import — they have been "wired" together. So B imports package foo (version 1.0) from A.
Let's build this up. Suppose bundle B, in addition to importing package foo 1.0, also exports package bar (the version of bar is unimportant). The C bundle imports package bar and gets wired to B:
So far so good. Now let's complicate things a bit more: let's say that bundle C, in addition to importing package bar, also imports package foo… BUT it imports version 2.0. Wait, we don't have foo version 2.0! Never fear, there's another bundle that does export foo 2.0. We'll call him D:
Are you surprised that this works? Perhaps not, you may have heard that OSGi supports multiple versions of the same library at the same time, and here it is in action. However there are limits: while we can have multiple versions of the foo package, we must still be able to construct a consistent "class space" for each bundle that has exactly one version of every class. The "class space" for bundle C is shown by the shaded blue area:
Notice how the shaded area avoids the import of foo inside bundle B. This is only possible if the package bar exported by B
has no internal dependency on foo does not "expose" foo via its signature (thanks to BJ for this correction).
Exposing foo means that a type in foo is visible through the signature of a type in bar, for example:
If package bar does expose package foo, as in this example, then we have a "uses constraint". We illustrate this with a little rubber band, like so:
Now bundle C cannot be resolved. The rubber band means we cannot exclude the import of foo 1.0 from the blue shaded area, i.e. C's class space must contain foo 1.0. But it is not allowed to contain both foo 1.0 and foo 2.0, so C's second import cannot be satisfied.
I hope this is clear enough, but I'm sure you're wondering: how the hell do I fix this? We should certainly avoid tempting runtime options that turn off the uses constraint validation. Neither should we start mucking about trying to "fix" the manifests of third-party bundles. Both of these are hacks that only mask the problem. After all, package bar in bundle B really does depend on a specific version of foo, so we shouldn't blindly force it to use a different version.
In this example the proper solution is to find an alternative provider of the bar package, one that is compatible with foo 2.0. For example maybe there is a bar version 2.0 available somewhere, that happens to be compatible with foo 2.0. We may need to change the import in bundle C to make sure it gets bar 2.0. If bundle C is our own bundle then this is a reasonable change to make.
How About a Real Example?
Good idea! Let's move away from foos and bars and look at a real uses-constraint problem. We'll take the specific example of the client I mentioned: he was trying to use Apache ActiveMQ from an Eclipse RCP application. In the RCP application bundle there was a single import of the
org.apache.activemq package. At runtime the RCP bundle failed to resolve with the following error:
Here we see the most frustrating aspect of uses-constraint violations: the almost total lack of information about the cause of the problem! We need to put our detective hat on.
Our bundle,
org.example.rcp.activemq, is failing to resolve because it cannot import package
org.apache.activemq version 5.4.2. That package exists, it is exported by bundle number 33,
The uses constraint violation tells us that something used by the package
org.apache.activemq clashes with something else that is imported into our bundle. We can look at the imports of the ActiveMQ bundle:
Wow, quite a long list, and I've not even included the optional imports! In the worst case we need to review all of these, and then possibly the transitive dependencies of the bundles that export those packages, in order to find the conflict. Nightmare! Fortunately there is a shortcut we can take.
Recall the conflict in the simplistic example arose because there were two versions of the foo package available. This is a necessary precondition for a uses constraint violation, and it gives us a really big clue:
Look for packages that have more than one exporter.
I'd like to be able to say that I jumped straight to the answer at this point, but truthfully I hummed and hawwed a bit first (oh well, it was billable time). I speculated that there might be two copies of the Commons Logging APIs, so I asked the OSGi shell:
Nope, just one export, and it's imported by both
org.apache.activemq.kahadb and
org.apache.activemq.activemq-core. No problem there.
Then I realised: we're running on Java 6! That's significant because Java 6 gratuitously added a bunch of APIs to the base JRE library… APIs that were previously available as optional libraries. This is a rich seam of duplication! So my next guess was
Again no. Cutting to the chase, the culprit was
Bingo! The package is exported by two bundles: the first is the system bundle itself, which is responsible for exporting all the JRE packages (aside from
java.*), and this version is being imported by all the Eclipse plug-ins.
The other version is exported by
com.springsource.javax.annotation, which is one of the wrapper bundles available from the repository hosted by SpringSource. Our RCP application naturally depends on the Eclipse stuff, therefore it cannot get the ActiveMQ library because of this conflict. Time for another pretty diagram:
How Can This Be Fixed?
Another fine question! In our abstract foo/bar case the solution involved finding a provider of "bar" that was compatible with foo version 2.0.0, and then changing our bundle C to make sure it used that new "bar". In this case, both ActiveMQ and the Eclipse bundle are third-party binaries that we should not change.
Our goal is to make both ActiveMQ and Eclipse import the same version. ActiveMQ cannot import version 0.0.0 from the JRE, but Eclipse can import version 1.0.0.
But wait a moment, there is no such thing as version 0.0.0 of
javax.annotation! It's nonsense. The OSGi system bundle's job is to export all of the JRE packages but it has no idea what version numbers to use for those exports. Indeed, nobody knows what the version numbers of all the JRE packages are. There is documentation for some of them, but none of that documentation is normative, and anyway it doesn't cover everything in the JRE. We really need a JSR or OSGi specification that tells us definitively. Anyhow because of the lack of information, the OSGi framework clumsily exports everything as version 0.0.0.
Therefore the solution involves configuring the OSGi framework in one of the following ways:
- Removing
javax.annotationfrom the exports of the system bundle altogether; this will make both ActiveMQ and Eclipse resolve from the SpringSource bundle.
- Exporting the
javax.annotationpackage from the system bundle as version 1.0.0; then we don't need the SpringSource bundle.
- Using a special bundle that pulls the
javax.annotationpackage from the JRE (using Require-Bundle!) and reexports it as version 1.0.0.
The first two approaches require us to create a "profile", i.e. a list of JRE packages, and pass it to Equinox using the
osgi.java.profile configuration setting.
The third approach is quite tricky if we have to create the bundle ourselves, but there is an existing bundle in most Eclipse IDE distributions that does exactly this. Unfortunately the bundle doesn't appear in the RCP target platform downloads, which is why my client went to the SpringSource bundle repository to find a provider for the package and ended up in the mess he was in.
What's my recommendation? Really I prefer the second option because the third just feels like a hack to me. There is a further issue though: if you use Eclipse PDE and click the "Validate Plug-ins" button in the Run Configuration dialog, then PDE will report a missing import, because it doesn't know about the JRE profile setting. Clearly a missing feature or even a bug in PDE, but because of this you may prefer the third option.
Another Rant About Require-Bundle
Notice the arrows in the previous diagram, they indicate a Require-Bundle dependency rather than an import/export wiring. It turns out that Require-Bundle is responsible for this uses constraint problem, so I might as well have another rant about it.
packages command told us that
javax.annotation from the JRE was imported by Eclipse core runtime, core expressions, UI, workbench, and help. But I happen to know that none of those bundles actually use the
javax.annotation package!! I know this because Eclipse still runs on Java 1.4, where those annotation classes won't even load. But Eclipse uses Require-Bundle as follows:
By requiring the system bundle, Eclipse implicitly imports the entire JRE. This is a terrible idea, and it is only done in Eclipse because of backward compatibility and because the PDE tooling is so inadequate for working with Import-Package dependencies.
(In fact, the uses constraint problem in this example can be solved by switching the RCP plug-in to use Import-Package to get hold of its dependencies on the Eclipse APIs. Sadly PDE makes Require-Bundle so convenient, and Import-Package so inconvenient, that very users are disciplined enough. I admit that even I use it when I'm feeling lazy.)
In my opinion Eclipse 4 should be used as an opportunity to break with the uglier parts of Eclipse's legacy. It's admittedly hard to do that when you have an ecosystem of literally thousands of 3rd party plug-ins that would stop running on the new version… but must this crap really be maintained forever? Will Eclipse 5 make the break, or Eclipse 6? A big part of what ails Java itself is the legacy compatibility burden; I hope Eclipse can be bolder.
Anyway, ranting over, here comes the recommendation:
Eradicate Require-Bundle dependencies from your bundles.
Installation Order
Consider the following modification to the original abstract scenario. Bundle B now accepts a range for the foo package: either version 1 or 2. If these bundles are all installed at the same time, then C is now resolvable because both C and B can wire to the version 2.0 foo offered by bundle D:
In this scenario bundle A will be ignored. However now suppose that only bundles A and B are available at startup, with C and D being installed later.
At startup B will resolve to the single version of foo available, which is version 1.0.0 from bundle A. When C and D are installed, C will be unresolvable, since it cannot import bar from B at the same time as it imports foo from D. OSGi tries to keep the existing resolved bundles stable, so it does not force B to rewire its import of foo to the new version.
This behaviour can be counter-intuitive. OSGi never dynamically rewires imports when new bundles are installed, it only tries to find wirings for the newly installed bundles. This is because rewiring is expensive: it can force the shutdown and restart of many bundles, and just calculating all the wirings again takes some time (it is NP-complete).
We can force OSGi to rewire everything by issuing the
refresh command at the shell. If we do this, B's wiring will switch to use foo 2.0 from D, and C will resolve. Therefore to check whether you have a problem with installation order:
Just type
refresh and see whether the problem goes away.
Any More General Advice?
Solving a uses-constraint violation requires us to find an accurate diagnosis first, before we attempt to prescribe a cure.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, seek a cure based on configuring the platform rather than messing with bundle manifests: uses-constraint violations are signals of an invalid deployment, i.e. a set of bundles that cannot work together. They are usually not signs of a development problem to be fixed within the bundles themselves — unless the bundles can be shown conclusively to have inaccurate or invalid manifests.
Regarding diagnosis, a necessary precondition for any uses-constraint violation is multiple exporters of the same package. So the first question to ask ourselves is:
Are there any obvious sources of multiple exports of the same package?
For example, have we included two versions of the same bundle? Are there bundles with overlapping exports?
Using the
packages command in the Equinox shell can help to find multiple exporters, and tells us which bundles are using each export.
If running on Java 6, could one of the new JRE packages be the source of the problem?
Here's a list of all the packages in Java 6 that were not in Java 5:
With regard to prescribing a cure, the general approach is to find an alternative bundle or set of bundles that can provide the dependencies we need.
Does an alternative non-conflicting source for the dependency exist?
If JRE packages are involved, can the additional exporters be removed? Try specifying package versions in the Java profile.
If the JRE is not involved and no alternative supply of the dependencies can be found, then maybe these bundles really cannot be used together: they are simply incompatible. This is bad news to be sure, but it's better to find it out early from the OSGi resolver than from weeks of debugging a misbehaving runtime.
Does It Really Have to Be This Hard?
I hope not! Clearly this kind of analysis is still based on too much in-depth knowledge of OSGi's internal workings, which puts it beyond the capabilities of most developers. This could be a real problem for adoption of OSGi in complex enterprise applications.
As ever, we need better tools. My dream is to create tooling in Bndtools that will help to quickly diagnose and offer fixes for problems like this. Here I'd like your suggestions… what kind of tooling would help?
I'm thinking about some kind of graphical tool that can build diagrams on the fly similar to those in this blog post, including the "class space" visualisation. My concern is that it might not scale to a realistic scenario: perhaps the diagrams would just be too big and complex to be any use. I'm just not sure at this point.
Anything Else to Say?
Yes: well done for making it all the way through, and happy hunting.

Temptation Lyrics
Artist: Slayer
Album: Seasons In The Abyss
(Kerry King)
Have you ever felt the need
To see more than you can see
Look into uncertainty
Reflections of treachery
Would you leave the world bbehind
Endless life is here to find
Can I interest you in lies
Sell your soul for all it buys
Play with your insanity
Shatter your reality
Pulsing in yoru blood
I can satisfy your greed
For now all your debts are free
I have all eternity
To quench all the death I breed
Recreate the rules of play
>From now things arre done my way
None have ever won my game
Crucified them all in flames
Have you ever danced with the devil
His temptation ever summoned you
Ever penned your name in blood
Let possession slowly swallow you
When you stand under full moonlight
The attraction mesmerizes you
Have you ever wondered why
It seems that evil you're attracted to
Reach out to my hand
Step back in time's sand
Genetic wasteland
Far beyond death

Stories are powerful things. We've used them throughout history to capture attention, convey ideas, fire the imagination, and stir the soul. Data can be persuasive, but stories are much more. A well-told story is inspirational.
On the surface, storytelling appears to be the opposite of analytics: anecdotal instead of quantitative. But quantities aren't the only way, or even necessarily the ideal way to convey information. We know that not everyone is a quant who thinks natively in numbers. Some think in pictures, thus the popularity of data visualization: "Show me the shape of things, not the quantities. ..." Visualization is powerful, but even more powerful is the ability to connect visuals to tell a story with data.
Storytellers are the next generation of business and data analysts. They don't dismiss the value of the quants—quantification is the foundation. Neither do they devalue the importance of visualization; in fact, they amplify it by scripting a story through visuals to communicate the what, when, where, who, and why of business circumstances and business behaviors.

And some films…….
Context and Origins
Origins Capital market liberalisation Global macro imbalances Global savings glut Accomodative monetary policy Strong global growth The end of boom and bust The search for yield and underestimation of risk Regulatory vacuums
From Sub-Prime Crisis to Credit Crunch
What is Sub-Prime Lending? Sub-prime borrowers typically have weakened credit histories that include payment delinquencies, and possibly more severe problems such as charge-offs, judgements and bankruptcies. They also display reduced repayment capacity as measured by credit scores, debt to income ratios, or other criteria that may encompass borrowers with incomplete credit histories. US Treasury Department guidelines, issued in……. 2001
Why Did We Have a Sub-Prime Crisis? An international savings glut Low interest rates and liquid financial markets Search for yield Ever more sophisticated, but ever more opaque, financial engineering Underestimation of risk Inflation in asset values, especially real estate / housing Housing price slowdown and contagion in 2007 / 2008
Why Do We Have a Credit Crunch? Information black holes –uncertainty over the magnitude of toxic debt –uncertainty over the location of toxic debt Banks stopped lending to each other –uncertainty over the location of toxic debt –uncertainty over their own exposure Banks cut back on retail lending –provision for write-offs –need to rebuild balance sheets
Policy Responses
Government Intervention Interest rate cuts: –United States (5.25 to 0.3%) –Eurozone (4.25 to 1.0%) –United Kingdom (5.75 to 0.5%) Support for the financial system: –US, UK and Eurozone: $8,995 billion (and rising) Liquidity support: $1,950 billion Asset purchases: $2,525 billion Guarantees: $4,480 billion
The Aftermath of Bankning Crises
The Aftermath of Financial Crises Reinhart and Rogoff anatomy of aftermath of financial crises in industrialised and emerging economies Headlines: –...asset market collapses are deep and prolonged.... –...profound declines in output and employment... –...real value of government debt tends to explode...
Asset Market Collapses Real estate / housing –Average peak to trough decline of 35.5% –Average decline duration of 6 years –Extremes: declines of 50-60% (Finland, Philippines, Colombia, Hong Kong); duration, 17 years (Japan) Equity markets –Average peak to trough decline of 55.9% –Average decline duration of 3.4 years –Extremes: decline of 90% (Iceland); duration, 5 years (Malaysia, Thailand, Spain)
Unemployment and Output Unemployment –Average increase of 7 percentage points over 4.8 years –Extremes: 20 percentage points (US); duration, 12 years (Japan) Output –Average decline, 9.3% over 1.9 years –Extremes: 29% (US); duration, 4 years (US, Finland, Argentina)
Real Government Debt Average increase in government debt 3 years after crisis (excluding current crisis) of 86.3% Extremes: 280% (Finland, Colombia)
Global Recession
The global financial crisis has pushed all major OECD economies into recession Many emerging economies have slower or negative growth due to a collapse in export markets There is uncertainty regarding the depth and duration of recession There is a possibility of deflation in some economies
Globalisation of Recession Transmission across borders –Integrated capital markets –Lower capital flows –Banking failures –Fall in export demand –High import content of exports
Impact on World Trade World trade only recorded negative growth in one year between 1950 and 2008 World trade slowed sharply in the final quarter of 2008 World trade declined by 12% in 2009, due to: –decline in capital flows (credit crunch) –decline in demand (recession) –High import content of exports (globalisation)
The Future?
Key Risk Factors Unexpected bad news (scale of losses / capacity to finance debt) Increased protectionism Slow recovery Recession becomes deflation Disorderly break-up of Eurozone
Resilience Of Global Systems Major shocks of last 30 years of twentieth century: –Oil shocks of 1973-74 and 1980-81 –Collapse of Bretton Woods system –Debt crisis of mid 1970s –High (and hyper) inflation –Collapse of the European Monetary System –Collapse of Soviet bloc in Europe –Asian crisis
Some Longer-term Implications Low and stable inflation not sufficient to avoid cycles Globalisation of financial system has added to risks Financial system can be a powerful driver of economic fluctuations Regulatory frameworks need to be reformed to limit this source of volatility Greater international surveillance of imbalances may be necessary Economic modellers and policy-makers need to improve understanding of feedbacks from financial system to economic activity

Government policies and the future impact
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
I have been appointed by Euro Vistaa (India) Ltd. as a consultant to look at the way the MERCOSUR treaty has helped it expand into the South American market. I will also be looking at the effects of the various government policies have had on its business, how the policies have helped the Indian textile industry as a whole to expand and globalize and to understand the government incentives offered.
The last few years have witnessed easiness with the industrialisation strategy hitherto followed amongst Indian planners and policy makers. The main objective of the new strategy of liberalisation of the economy is modernisation. Government policies in the textile sector has focussed on fresh investments and import restrictions on capital goods has condemned the textile industry to obsolete technology. Such policies and high levels of protection have ensured that there is no rapid change in technology and made the products high cost and uncompetitive in the international market (Khanna, 1989)
In India the textile industry is very significant as it accounts for 4% of its Gross Domestic Product and over 13% of its total earnings from exports and employees 35 million people. It also generates the maximum foreign exchange earning for the country. "India's textile exports have shot up from US$ 19.14 billion in 2006-07 to US$ 22.13 billion in 2007-08, registering a growth of over 15 per cent." The textile industry has been receiving increasing amounts of Foreign Direct investment. During the period August 1991- December 2008 the industry received $850 million in investment (http://ibef.org/industry/textiles.aspx).
The intended study will firstly look at how the New Industrial Policy, 1991 (may be referred to NIP, 91 from here on) enacted by the Government of India was the first step into a new liberalised regime which gave an impetus to globalise and compete on the global scale. It provided various articles which helped the Indian textile and other industries expand and attract foreign direct investment (FDI) along with, other various resolutions. The second significant step was the effect various treaties have had on the exports of textiles.
India's increased presence in policy discussions with Latin America is one of the reasons for its fast economic growth. Similarly, antidumping and safeguard rules are quite lax and these instruments have been often used by both developed and developing countries such as India (Facchini et al,2007)
One such treaty when it comes into effect is the Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) between India and the Mercosur countries. South America is a largely untapped and profitable market for Indian exporters. Hence, this treaty will be of great importance and the views of Exporters and agents from both parties will be looked at to see how the benefits and disadvantages of the treaty once it comes under effect. This will help Euro Vistaa to look at the South American market as a potentially large customer base to market its products more effectively to. Also, seeing the changes in government policies which have helped it expand and grow into a market leader. With the current economic recession viewpoints of Indian Textile industry leaders will be noted as to their views on the benefits the government can provide to help the exporters.
2) Problem Definition:
The effect of Government policies and the future impact of the Mercosur treaty on the Indian Textile export industry with a focus on Euro Vistaa (India) Ltd.
3) Literature Review:
3.1 ) Indian Textile Industry
Beginning of 1st January 1995, in a period of 10 years all textiles and clothing products which were subjected to MFA-quota are scheduled to be integrated into WTO (Varma, 2002). The dismantling of the quota regime represents both an opportunity as well as a threat. An opportunity because markets will no longer be restricted; a threat because markets will no longer be guaranteed by quotas, and even the domestic market will be open to competition" (Kathuria et al, 2001). From 1st January 2005, therefore, all textile and clothing products would be traded internationally without quota-restrictions (Spinanger, 1999). And this impending reality brings the issue of competitiveness to the fore for all firms in the textile and clothing sectors, including those in India. It is imperative to understand the true competitiveness of Indian textile and clothing firms in order to make an assessment of what lies ahead in 2005 and beyond. Therefore, the growth and vitality of the Indian textile industry forms an integral part of the Indian economy (Varma, 2002).
Mehta (1995) in his study discusses how "textile sector of Asia is certainly one of the sectors which will be adversely affected (due to NAFTA)". As NAFTA has an effect on the textile sector of Asia it will also be interesting to see the effect of other international treaties also. Mercosur is an important treaty to understand as it consists of a large market which is South America. As Varma (2002) points out that the Asian sector will get affected as NAFTA provides Mexican products which are substitutes for exported products from the developing Asian countries.
In his study Singhal (2000) states that due to the government policies and the lack of co-ordination between the firms and the relevant government bodies the supply chain is highly fragmented.
The duty structure has disproportionate duty incidence on different segments of the Indian Textile and clothing sectors and hence it has created "distorted market structures, unhealthy competition among the segments themselves, and created a diverse variety of vested interests who are now opposing any reform in the sector"(Varma, 2002).
3.2) MERCOSUR: (http://commerce.nic.in/flac/india_mercosur_pta.htm)
Mercosur, the "Common Market of the South," is the largest trading bloc in South America. The member countries of Mercosur are Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay with Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru being the associate members. "Mercosur was formed in 1991 with the objective of facilitating the free movement of goods, services, capital and people among the four member countries. Mercosur has become a successful market of about 200 million people, representing about 1 trillion dollars of GDP and 190 billion dollars of trade. It is the fourth largest integrated market after the European Union (EU), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and ASEAN".
On the 17th of June 2003 a framework agreement was signed between India and the Mercosur. The aims of agreement were to "create conditions and mechanisms for negotiations. This agreement consisted of two stages; in stage one mutually decided tariff preferences were mentioned and in stage two, there were provisions to form a free trade area between India and Mercosur but which abided by the rules and regulations of the World Trade Organisation.
The main Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) was signed on the 25th of January 2005. This agreement was an effort from both parties "to expand and strengthen the existing relations between Mercosur and India to promote the expansion of trade by granting reciprocal fixed tariff preferences with the ultimate objective of creating a free trade area between the parties".
3.3) Euro Vistaa ( India) Ltd.
Euro Vistaa (India) Ltd is a public limited company based in Mumbai, India. It was established in 1987. It is a well known brand and accomplished export house. Its core business is textile related. It deals with all kinds of textiles and related products. It currently handles approximately 20000 tonnes and with an export turnover of USD 20 million. The current client base is at almost 40 countries worldwide. Due to its strong reputation its major business is due to repeated orders from regular customers. This has ensured that over the years Euro Vistaa (India) Ltd. has won many awards from the Government of India for its exceptional growth and export turnover. It has also recently diversified into various activities such as setting up of windmills and also launched a commercial farming project. (www.eurovistaa.com)
4) Research design:
In this research, Primary and secondary data collection methods will be used as a research design which will be the back bone of this report (http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/desintro.htm). A good design consists of factors which work together in harmony, support efficiency and successful implementation. According to Hammersley and Atkinson (1995) in a qualitative research the "research design should be a reflexive process operating through every stage of a project" (Maxwell, 2005).
Below is the diagram depicting the methods to be used.
5) Methodology:
5.1) Secondary Data:
Every research consists of the use of data which has been published (Stewart et al, 1993). Secondary data can be obtained either internally or externally (Malhotra et al, 2006). External data which will be found and considered will be various government statistics related to information and literature related to exports (important to see the export performance during the periods before and after the treaty and the government policies), the copy of treaties (to understand the various provisions set out), the relevant literature set out in The New Industrial Policy, 1991 (India) to understand the reforms set out by the Government of India (important as Euro Vistaa is an Indian firm and has to abide by the rules and regulations set out by the Indian government). Internal Data will also be collected as it is an integral part of the research and cannot be overlooked. Internal data obtained will be used to analyze the growth and the effects of the N.I.P., 91 and the treaties on the growth and performance of Euro Vistaa (India) Ltd.
5.2) Primary Data:
Malhotra (2006), states that there are two types of primary data collection methods viz, quantitative and qualitative methods. . A quantitative research is where the research problem and opportunities are precise and the decision maker and researcher have agreed on the precise information (Hair et al, 2003). For this research Qualitative method of primary research will be undertaken as the information required is specific to Euro Vistaa (India) Ltd. and extensive data related to the topic and Euro Vistaa is not available.
"Qualitative data provides insight and understanding of the problem setting. It can provide insight before or after the fact. It also explores the problem with few preconceived notions about the outcome of that exploration" (Malhotra, P, 2006).
Exploratory method will be used by conducting interviews as there limited amount of knowledge is available on the topic and a clear and precise statement of the problem will be obtained (Naoum, S., 2007).
In-Depth interviews will be undertaken as they allow maximum flexibilty and covering new topics as they arise (Malhotra, P., 2006). The interviewees will consist of the top management of Euro Vistaa (India) Ltd., leaders from the Indian export industry and also the agents and buyers from countries covered under MERCOSUR.
The interviews given by the personnel from India will give us the Indian point of view and the agents and buyers will help provide us with answers and their outlook. This way both perspectives can be obtained to provide significant results to Euro Vistaa (India) Ltd.
Qualitative data expresses the views of the respondents in words rather than numbers & hence, there are multiple strategies for the collection and analysis (Dey, 1993).The data obtained will be thoroughly analysed by combing all the interviews on similar subject and then reading and re-reading it to decipher the meanings. As this approach may prove to be confusing and not enough information will be obtained after, Categorisation will be used to group the data into the meaningful categories relating to what the research to be carried out is (Saunders et al., 2000).
6) Problems and Limitations:
As informed by the Senior Marketing Head of Euro Vistaa (India) there are various problems facing the industry and exporters in general. The hypotheses will be based on the problems faced by the industry. They are:
The supply of raw materials in India is monopolized by 2-3 companies which results in higher prices.
Frequent fluctuation in sea freight prices as there are no direct links to many destinations such as South America and North Africa.
Downward revision of export incentives by the Government of India.
Tough competition from other Asian countries such as Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and in particular China.
Government policies regarding exports are frequently changed.
The processes to obtain the refund of government export incentives is a lengthy and expensive procedure.
Bureaucracy at every stage results in higher costs and delays of export cargo.
Anti dumping duties have been imposed on Indian products on many countries.
Preferential duty is given by countries on goods of specific origin (excluding India) which therefore makes Indian products uncompetitive.
Limitations faced by the researcher:
Lack of time.
Lack of secondary data relating to few factors.
Language barrier as communication with personnel from South America will not be in English.

Solar PV inverters from KACO new energy GmbH are in demand in South Korea: the manufacturer, based in Neckarsulm, Germany is the market leader in the Asian country and expects an 80% market share for the current year. The forecasts for the Japanese market are also giving the company cause to feel positive about its position in Asia.
Seoul / Neckarsulm, 14 August 2014 –
KACO new energy has been represented with a branch office close to Seoul since 2007, which initially carried out research and development for central inverters. Shortly afterwards, large-scale systems and central inverters began to dominate the marketplace. The company started production and sales in Korea and made a name for itself in the market sector there. As part of the 'Renewable Portfolio Standard' programme (RPS) introduced in 2012, smaller PV systems up to 30 kW and up to 100 kW are now in demand once again.
"This is where our Powador 20.0 TL3 and 60.0 TL3 inverters come into play. 'Made in Germany', we have successfully positioned these devices in the Korean market within a short space of time thanks to our good reputation and are expecting even further growth. The production site at our company's headquarters in Germany is also benefiting from success in Asia as a result", says Ralf Hofmann, Managing Director of KACO new energy GmbH.
Whereas SMA is currently having to cut back a further 600 jobs and Chinese and Japanese manufacturers are only enjoying success in their protected domestic markets, KACO new energy is reaping the benefits of many years' worth of commitment to international PV markets as one of the pioneers of solar PV inverter technology. For example, with its branch office in Tokyo founded in 2013 along with strategic collaborations, the company has even made its mark in Japan – a market that was previously overwhelmingly dominated by domestic manufacturers. By the end of the year, KACO new energy plans to sell 100 MW in the land of the rising sun.
About KACO new energy
KACO new energy is amongst the world's largest manufacturers of solar inverters. With 850 employees and offices in 16 countries, the company offers inverters for every array size from the smallest homes to the largest solar farms of hundreds of Megawatts. KACO new energy is based in Neckarsulm, near Stuttgart, Germany and the production facilities there, in the Americas and Asia have supplied nearly 7 Gigawatts of inverters since 1999. The Company was the first inverter manufacturer to achieve fully carbon-neutral production and is rapidly heading towards power self-sufficiency. KACO new energy also supplies energy storage systems and battery inverters, as well as inverters for combined heat and power plants and CPV systems. KACO new energy is celebrating the Centenary of the original company in 2014.

Ryder Cup 2016: U.S. regain title in style to end Europe dominationThe spirit of the Ryder Cup lives on. It sounded odd last weekend when Davis Love III called his American team "the best one, maybe, ever assembled". One of the changes from the Ryder Cup Task Force that Europe mocked was to spread out the captain's picks until the very end. While Europe has dominated lately, the USA now owns a 26-13-2 lead in the overall rivalry, winning 18 while losing only three with one drawn from 1927 to 1977 when facing only a British-Irish squad.

Things to Know From Falcons' Loss in SeattleBy the time Ryan tripled it with 17 seconds left in the frame with a 46-yard TD to tight end Levine Toilolo, it was clear what happened: the Falcons had taken a devastating right cross and crumbled to the canvas before rising to answer with a left hook that stunned the Seahawks.
Tottenham 'missed opportunity' with West Brom draw - PochettinoIf Albion were to score today, you just knew it was going to be Nacer Chadli that provided it. Therefore Pochettino's hands might be tied, no matter the concerns for Lamela and Son Heung-Min after their air miles in the internationals. Trailing 1-0 with eight minutes left to go, Tottenham's dominating efforts against West Bromwich Albion throughout the game was about to go to waste.
Falcons fall to Seahawks after missed pass interference callWhen you consider that the referees legitimately missed at least a couple of late calls against the Seahawks and missed that potentially game-changing call in the fourth quarter, though, this one stands out. "He knows it, too", Carroll said. "And we did; we dealt with it and finished strong". Julio Jones, the Falcons' star receiver, exploded with seven receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown against Seattle's ferocious secondary.
Cagliari, Rastelli impietoso: Inter poco equilibrataAl 70', Di Gennaro la mette in mezzo, devia Murillo e Melchiorri controlla di tacco e batte Handanovic. L'errore è di non aver sfruttato le occasioni come avremmo dovuto in quello che è stato un primo tempo ben giocato.

Why So Many 45 ACP Tests?
Reader McMinn wonders whether readers really want so many 1911 evaluations, or if were just infatuated with them. Reader Allen asks for an elk load for the 6.5x55but is it enough gun?
After receiving several issues of Gun Tests, I am very happy with the articles. The tests are very thorough, and as a lefty I like that you usually include info on how the gun functioned for left-handed people. However I am somewhat disappointed with what guns are chosen for tests, particularly among semi-auto pistols. It seems that there is always at least one evaluation for 45s in every issue. I would have thought that 40-cal and 9mm reviews would be more prevalent. I have to wonder, are so many 45 cals tested because thats what the readers want, or because the staff is infatuated with 45s.

As it appears for the time being MovieReam does not have a link for Standing8. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
But you can also try out these movies like Standing8 below.
In Standing8 a boxer struggles to cope with the impact of him having killed his previous opponent in the ring. In this way the film does tread the ground you expect it to, and it does so in a pretty engaging and satisfying manner.
Quick edits to the fight are combined with solid drama which is played well along genre lines. The film seems to focus very much on CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) which is the degenerative disease found in people with repeated brain trauma, and this level of detail does add to the realism of the piece in some ways, with use of experts informing the detail of the film. This is a double-edged sword though, because the same focus on CTE specifically takes the film away from the character we had been following, and makes it feel more like a PSA perhaps.
It is still delivered with style and professionalism, and it is this that does help carry it but it doesn't totally get over that break into being informative in the final third. Hill is good in the film, and he helps make the dramatic sections work. He is a good actor and gets to show a bit of it here ? which is good considering how infrequently his main work on Elementary gives him that room to act out of his character a bit. Still, even with him and the style, the film does have that PSA feeling towards the end, when it needed to integrate that better into the more general dramatic flow.
