The sun came of as we practiced our Babaji’s Surya Namaskar and Atma Kriya Yoga in the morning. There was a noticeable difference in the energy of our group practice. It was stronger, yet sweeter than it had been before. Guruji’s Grace was so tangible.
This morning’s japa walk took us to the valley next to the ashram. There we paused at the one of the ponds and silently did japa while listening to the running water and the soft breeze.
The final hours of the morning were we spent listening to a powerful lecture on Guru’s Grace and how it and Atma Kriya Yoga are one.
The afternoon was filled by workshops on singing, dancing for God, and Guru Puja and a spontaneous satsang by Guruji.
We ended the day with an extended Atma Kriya Yoga practice where the entire group went to level in their practice never before experienced.

KABUL, 28 September 2016 - Real tangible progress towards greater access to information in Afghanistan is realizable and will contribute to the development of a more open and fair society the UN envoy told delegates at a high-profile conference in Kabul, at which Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah also spoke.
Around 150 people, including senior members of government institutions along with representatives of civil society, the media and the international community gathered for the one-day meeting which also marked the first ‘International Day for Universal Access to Information’.
Mr. Abdullah said that in the history of the country, access to information is not something new and people had given their lives for it. Making information available was a government responsibility, he said.
Delivering the keynote address, Tadamichi Yamamoto -- the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan and head of UNAMA -- applauded President Ghani’s recent launch of a nation-wide campaign to improve public awareness of every citizen’s right to access information under Afghan law. Making Ministry spokespersons available seven days a week to answer media queries was a further positive step.
“Citizens’ rights to access to information lies at the heart of open and healthy societies,” said Mr. Yamamoto.
“Afghanistan today has a sound Access to Information law in place, and it has a government that has committed to improve transparency, ensure conditions for a vibrant media sector, as well as prioritize the fight against corruption.”
Mr. Yamamoto said ensuring access to information was vital for Afghanistan to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 16, ‘to achieve peace, justice and strong institutions’.
“Citizens, journalists and other stakeholders will play a key role in realizing these goals, but can only do so if their right to information is enforced,” said the Special Representative.
Mr. Yamamoto said that UNAMA stands ready to assist the Government in efforts “to achieve the law’s full promise of providing every citizen with access to information about public services”.
A collective effort was needed to increase public awareness and strengthen implementation of Afghanistan’s Access to Information Law, he said. The Afghan law came into force in 2015.
UNAMA is mandated to support the Afghan Government and the people of Afghanistan as a political mission that provides good offices; promotes coherent development support by the international community; supports the process of peace and reconciliation; monitors and promotes human rights and the protection of civilians in armed conflict; promotes good governance; and encourages regional cooperation.

Why CISCO CCENT?
While the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification is the most well-known introductory certification offered by Cisco, it can be a serious challenge for many Cisco networking newcomers. Recently, Cisco introduced the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) certification. What can earning this cert offer you? Let’s find out
What is the CCENT?
Introduced in June 2007, the CCENT is a stepping stone to the CCNA certification. It covers topics that you would expect an entry-level technician to know, including the OSI model, DNS basics, NAT, routing, and router configuration.
This certification’s only requirement is a single exam: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (640-822). The 90-minute test involves 50 to 60 questions, and it costs $125.
The topics covered by this exam are impressive. This test can even serve as a hiring tool; a help desk technician or junior network administrator could take it to prove his or her basic level of network knowledge.
What topics does the CCENT cover?
Essentially, the CCENT covers the more introductory and theoretical half of the CCNA topics. Here’s what test 640-822 covers:
Data network operations: Test to see if you know these terms: LAN, WAN, OSI model, and VoIP. You should be able to understand network diagrams and traffic flow.
Implementation of a small switched network: Can you connect the right cables and switches to create a basic network? How does switching work? How do you secure and troubleshoot your network switches (e.g., port security, autonegotiation, duplex, basic troubleshooting tools, etc.)?
IP addressing and services for small branch offices: This includes small network IP addressing, NAT, DHCP, DHCP, and troubleshooting.
Implementation of a small routed network: How does routing work? Can you configure RIP, manage the Cisco IOS, secure and troubleshoot your Cisco routers?
Understanding of wireless LANs: Do you have an understanding of wireless standards, wireless terms, wireless security, and common wireless issues?
Securing the network: Do you have an understanding of security policies, securing hosts and applications, and fundamental network security practices?
Understanding of WANs: Do you know how to connect to a WAN? Can you configure basic serial connections to a WAN?
If you feel comfortable with these topics, you have a good chance at obtaining your CCENT.
How does the CCENT compare to the CCNA?
You can obtain your CCNA certification by taking one of two paths:
One test: You can just take test 640-802 — a single test that incorporates both parts of the ICND course material.
Two tests: You can take tests 640-822 and 640-816. By passing test 640-822, you would earn the CCENT. Then by passing test 640-816, you would have both your CCENT and your CCNA certifications.
Four reasons you should get your CCENT
If you already have a Cisco certification, you can go ahead and skip this section. But if you don’t have any Cisco certifications, the CCENT is most likely the best possible place for you to start. Here are four reasons why:
The CCENT demonstrates your networking knowledge in a tangible way. Getting a Cisco certification shows that you know something about networking; networks make computing possible and connect every person in the world. Why not start out with a certification that applies broadly to just about any IT job or task?
Earning the CCENT requires passing only one test. Earning a cert by passing just one test will boost your confidence and get you ready for the longer certification paths such as the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification.
A certification helps prove your knowledge to your boss. We would all like to think that everyone respects us just because we are smart, but having a piece of paper on the wall couldn’t hurt, could it? It reminds your boss and coworkers of your expertise every time they come into your office. Plus, it couldn’t hurt come time for your compensation review, right?
The CCENT is a stepping stone for the CCNA. Passing the single CCNA test can be very difficult — it’s much easier to take two smaller tests that you can more easily prepare for. By passing the CCENT test, you’re halfway on the road to earning your CCNA.
GOVERNESS GURU IT Learning Center - Exam Topics
The following topics are general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam. In order to better reflect the contents of the exam and for clarity purposes, the guidelines below may change at any time without notice.
Describe the operation of data networks.
Implement a small switched network
Implement an IP addressing scheme and IP services to meet network requirements for a small branch office
Implement a small routed network
Explain and select the appropriate administrative tasks required for a WLAN
Identify security threats to a network and describe general methods to mitigate those threats
Implement and verify WAN links

Last September we formed an art collective called Forces of Nice and launched an art show in collaboration with adidas Originals Hong Kong. The art show party was a real success and garnered us a ton of free press through 4 major local magazines, newspapers and countless blogs and tweets about the show. The show started with an entire entourage of local Hong Kong celebrities making guest appearances at our show causing a frenzy of paparazzi photographers and groupies to form outside the adidas Originals flagship store in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
The venue reached maximum capacity (300+) within the first hour. Guests were entertained by fresh beats dropped by Tom Pettapiece (AKA Straightleg) while Chairman Ting did a live digital graffiti performance (by Tangible Interaction). Later in the evening the guests were invited to do their own digital graffiti painting while sipping Vitaminwater juices and Wyndham Estate wines. The entire project took over 6 months of planning, coordination and production.
We would like to give our special thanks to our generous sponsors:

THE HISTORY OF PENA ADOBE
Lagoon Valley was settled by two friends, from New Mexico, along with their families. The only tangible reminder of their efforts is the adobe built by Juan Felipe Pena. The two Juans,
Juan Manuel Vaca and Juan Felipe Pena gathered their families and struck out for California in 1841. They left New Mexico, seeking the land of milk and honey. Juan Felipe brought his wife, Isabella Gonsalves and their six children. Juan Manuel had lost his wife in 1839.
The widower was accompanied by their eight children. The intrepid families followed the Old Spanish Trail that terminated at Pueblo de Los Angeles. Their arrival coincided with the visit to the area by Mariano Vallejo. Admiring of Pena’s and Vaca’s pluck, Vallejo told them of the fertile Lagoon Valley. He convinced them to trek a little further, where he would agree to grant them a vast amount of land if they fulfilled his requirement to build homes, plant trees and pasture livestock.
When the two Juans had satisfied Vallejo’s requirements, they were granted ten square leagues of the Rancho de Los Putos. Ten square leagues amounted to 44,384 acres. This huge territory encompassed all of Lagoon Valley and stretched into what is now, Yolo County. During the 1840s, both families engaged in cattle ranching. Hides and tallow were the principal source of trade and income. It has been speculated that they hauled the hides and tallow by ox-cart to landings along the sloughs of Suisun Bay. The families also engaged the few remaining Native Americans to serve as ranch hands, cowboys and servants. The Vaca’s and Pena’s cultivated orchards and gardens near their homes.
Those were tumultuous times in California history. In just five short years, after their arrival, the Bear Flag revolt occurred, in which Vallejo, his brother and their families were taken to Sutter’s Fort from Sonoma, as captives care of General Charles Fremont and Kit Carson. Many of the “Bear Flaggers” objected to the treatment by Fremont of the captives and made sure that the Vallejo families were accorded some protection on their way to John Sutter’s fort. One of the stops along the way was at Pena’s adobe, where they were treated with respect, “quantities of food and liquid refreshment.”
In 1847, Americans Albert Lyon, John Patton Sr. and Jr., along with J.P.Willis and Clay Long arrived in the Vaca Valley. In April 1849, Vaca agreed to sell a half league of land between Alamo and Ulatis creeks for eight thousand dollars to Albert Lyon and the Pattons. On August 21, 1850, Vaca deeded nine square miles to another new arrival, William McDaniel for three thousand dollars to establish the town of Vacaville.
The Vaca adobe “melted” away in the elements long ago. Pena and his family are believed to have hauled, by oxen or mule teams, from Napa, the redwood that was hand hewn for the joists that support the thatched roof and make up the
window and door lintels. The two feet thick adobe blocks were formed on site from our “famous” local clay soil, straw and water. Sometime around the 1880s, the adobe was modernized and enlarged by encasing the entire building in wood sheathing and frame extension.
The restored home and grounds are now a county park located just off of I-80 west of Vacaville, California.

“When I was younger I always had lots of ideas but no coherent way to express them. Being dyslexic with social nerves seemed like a huge stumbling block at first. When I discovered photography, I started to realize that I could tell stories without words and translate the ideas in my head into something tangible. The camera was a tool to turn my ideas into reality. In the beginning the thought of the images reaching such a wide audience, in fact, any audience, was not on my mind. I have been putting myself into my work for almost twenty years, but I’m not sure if the images I create are autobiographical; it certainly isn’t how I think about them. I have been creating images in a way that makes me comfortable, alone. I want to ask questions about identity, and about what it is to be human, but not about what it is to be me.”

The borders between graphic design, illustration, art, interior design, architecture and craftsmanship are becoming increasingly blurred. More than ever before, graphic design is being used as the underlying medium together with multiple practices to manifest creative visions. Following in the footsteps of Hidden Track (2005) and Tactile (2007), Tangible presents further developments from the work of young designers and artists who are experimenting with this multidisciplinary approach and creating outstanding original “tangible” designs.
These designers from different disciplines are choosing to no longer work exclusively in two dimensions, instead dealing intensively with space, materials and physical products. Each chapter in the book features different trends and styles demonstrating various approaches and solutions to this new area of graphic design. Graphics morph into spatial sculptures, the intangible is made visual through handmade craftsmanship, physical experiences, visual environments and staged spatial installations such as art installations, interiors and architecture as well as urban interventions.
The striking visual work in Tangible indicates the rise of graphic-inspired interior designs as artists, graphic designers, typographers and illustrators transform their ideas into shops, restaurants, hotels and fair stand designs.
Not only can this Smart Tangible interact with software while on the table, but it can also control an onscreen 3D model in real time when lifted off the table. For example, when lifted off the table, a Smart Tangible can act as a controller that rotates an onscreen 3D model in real time. This is made possible by linking the pattern recognition technology of Tangible Engine 2.0 with the Arduino, which communicates wirelessly with Ideum touch displays. This allows the Tangible Engine Service to match the object to its physical location and create a two-way stream of information. ideum.com/news/smart-tangible-prototype

Since 2007, the LUX Prize has been a tangible expression of Parliament's belief in the creativity and talent in Europe's film industry, in its ability to reflect the wealth and diversity of European culture, and its capacity to stimulate reflection and debate on Europe, its values and its future.
It is awarded annually based on voting by MEPs. In the end three films are shortlisted for the award. The winner will receive financial support from the Parliament to subtitle the film into the 23 European Union official languages, including an adaptation for visually or hearing-impaired people and to produce a 35 mm print or a digital cinema package for each Member State.
Previous winners were "Auf der anderen Seite" in 2007, "Le silence de Lorna" in 2008, "Welcome" in 2009, "Die Fremde" in 2010.
This year the three finalists for the 2011 LUX prize were: Greece's "Attenberg" by Athina Rachel Tsangari. France's "Les neiges du Kilimandjaro" by Robert Guédiguian and "Play" by Ruben Östlund - a Swedish, French, Danish production.
Today it has been announced by the European Parliament president Jerzy Buzek the name of the winner: the French director Robert Guédiguian with "Les neiges du Kilimandjaro".

Part of a Set / Slideshow documenting an installation by Claire Simpson.
There is also a YouTube video.
Claire Simpson's Performance & Visual Art (Dance) Degree Show 2012 - Tangible Light - at the University of Brighton. The piece is an installation using the materials of light, colour and theatrical smoke / mist to create the physical and tangible illusion of light. Video projectors were used to project relatively simple geometric moving shapes. This created the illusion of solid cones and planes of light.
