Holmen Swimming Hall is located at Nesbru in the Municipality of Asker. It opened in the summer of 2017. The hall is surrounded by a large grassy area beside the sea. An urban center is developing around Holmen, to the north of the Municipality of Asker, to serve local residents with stores, services, a transition hub for buses, meeting spots, recreational areas and residential buildings.
Swimming halls require a great deal of energy, but this building is perhaps the most energy-efficient swimming facility in the country. The building is concrete, with a facade of decorative wooden slats made of larch, while the long walls inside the hall are also covered in decorative wooden slats. The main pool in the Holmen Swimming Hall has eight lanes and is 25 meters long. The hall also contains a therapy pool (12.5 x 12.5 meters), both pools have floors that can be raised/lowered. The hall also houses an exercise/training room, locker rooms, a socializing room and a cafeteria. There are also grandstands for spectators facing the main pool. The building has two floors. The recreational roof terrace can be accessed from the second floor. The building has a footprint of 5300 square meters, with usable of floor space amounting to approx. 2700 m2.
The Holmen Swimming Hall is part of the FutureBuilt Program, a carbon-neutral pilot project that has received economic support from Enova, Innovation Norway, the Norwegian State Housing Bank and funds allocated by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs. The swimming hall is a passive house, designed for optimal energy-efficiency. It has been fitted with 650 square meters of solar cells on parts of the walls and ceilings, 1200 square meters of solar thermal collectors near the parking lot and 15 energy wells stationed on the plot. The solar panel system was designed to produce 80 000 kilowatt-hours a year. The technical plants were designed with a variety of energy-saving solutions and heat recirculation, even recycling heat from the hot water pipes in the showers.

"The FL20 LED Osram lamps were easy to install. The white reflective ceiling inside the hall and bright tiles fill the room with good light. The low positioning of the fixtures make maintenance easier. They are also small and slender compared to the amount of light they provide; they are quite unassuming. Uplights and downlights have been mounted along the longest walls. A design based on recessed lights in the ceiling at both ends of the main hall was chosen. Downlights along the long walls are only intended for use during competitions or while filming or television broadcast," said Andreas Kallhovd, head of the service department for As Watt, the company that carried out the electrical engineering work in the building.
"All the lighting in the building runs on a Dali lighting control system. Osram fixtures were part of project planning from day one of the project. The original lights were metal halogen lamps when the first designs were ready in 2013, but that all changed with the entry of LED lighting," he said.
LED lights can be dimmed in steps as often as one likes, and they do not require preheating or cooling, so they also save energy compared with metal halogens.

Sikhs Can Never Forget Golden Temple Attack
Dr.Gurmit Singh Aulakh
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 2, 2008 – This week marks the anniversary of India's brutal military attack on the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the center and seat of the Sikh religion.  According to Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh, President of the Council of Khalistan, Sikhs must never forget that attack.
During the Golden Temple attack, young boys ages 8 to 13 were taken outside and asked if they supported Khalistan, the independent Sikh country.  When they answered with the Sikh religious incantation "Bole So Nihal," they were shot to death. The Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scriptures, written in the time of the Sikh Gurus, were shot full of bullet holes and burned by the Indian forces.
The Golden Temple attack was a brutal chapter in India's repression of the Sikhs, according to Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh, President of the Council of Khalistan, the government pro tempore of Khalistan, which leads the struggle for Khalistan's independence. . "Sikhs cannot forgive or forget this atrocity against the seat of our religion by the Indian government, said Dr. Aulakh "This brutal attack clarified that there is no place in India for Sikhs," he said. On October 7, 1987, the Sikh Nation declared its independence from India, naming its new country Khalistan.
"Sant Bhindranwale said that attacking the Golden Temple would lay the foundation stone of Khalistan, and he was right," said Dr. Aulakh. "Instead of crushing the Sikh movement for Khalistan, as India intended, the attack strengthened it," he said. "The flame of freedom still burns bright in the hearts of Sikhs despite the deployment of over half a million Indian troops to crush it," he said. "Now that Jathedar Sri Singh Sahib Joginder Singh Vedanti has publicly come out for Khalistan, we are gaining even more momentum," he said.  "The recent seminar in Union City, California moves the cause forward also," he added.  "Self-determination is the essence of democracy and the key to maintaining our religion, language, culture, and heritage.  Remember the words of former Jathedar Professor Darshan Singh: 'If a Sikh is not a Khalistani, he is not a Sikh'"
A report issued by the Movement Against State Repression (MASR) shows that India admitted that it held 52,268 political prisoners under the repressive "Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Act" (TADA) even though it expired in 1995. Many have been in illegal custody since 1984. There has been no list published of those who were acquitted under TADA and those who are still rotting in Indian jails. Additionally, according to Amnesty International, there are tens of thousands of other minorities being held as political prisoners. MASR report quotes the Punjab Civil Magistracy as writing "if we add up the figures of the last few years the number of innocent persons killed would run into lakhs [hundreds of thousands.]" The Indian government has murdered over 250,000 Sikhs since 1984, more than 300,000 Christians in Nagaland, over 90,000 Muslims in Kashmir, tens of thousands of Christians and Muslims throughout the country, and tens of thousands of Tamils, Assamese, Manipuris, , and others. The Indian Supreme Court called the Indian government's murders of Sikhs "worse than a genocide."
In the introduction to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's book, The Mighty and the Almighty, former U.S. President Bill Clinton writes that "Hindu militants" are responsible for the massacre of Sikhs at Chithisinghpora in March 2000.  This reflects previous findings by the Punjab Human Rights Organization, the International Human Rights Organization, the Movement Against State Repression, and New York Times reporter Barry Bearak. President Clinton writes, "During my visit to India in 2000, some Hindu militants decided to vent their outrage by murdering 38 Sikhs in cold blood. If I hadn't made the trip, the victims would probably still be alive."
"Only in a free Khalistan will the Sikh Nation prosper and get justice," said Dr. Aulakh. "When Khalistan is free, we will have our own Ambassadors, our own representation in the UN and other international bodies, and our own leaders to keep this sort of thing from happening.  We won't be at the mercy of the brutal Indian regime and its Hindu militant allies," he said.  "Democracies don't commit genocide.  India should act like a democracy and allow a plebiscite on independence for Khalistan and all the nations of South Asia," Dr. Aulakh said. "We must continue to pray for and work for our God-given birthright of freedom," he said. "Without political power, religions cannot flourish and nations perish."

Q: BOOST_STATIC_WARNING in Xcode I wish to include Boost into my Xcode project as per the example in Serialization - Tutorial.
I am using Boost version "1_60".
The project I am using is built using CMake.
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS serialization system filesystem iostreams unit_test_framework date_time )
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIR})

target_include_directories(serialExample PRIVATE ${Boost_LIBRARY_DIR})

When I use the following includes...
#include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp>
#include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp>

"Unused typedef 'STATIC_WARNING_LINE102'"
"Unused typedef 'STATIC_WARNING_LINE98'"
"Unused typedef 'STATIC_WARNING_LINE137'"
"Unused typedef 'STATIC_WARNING_LINE148'"

This highlights four issues in two files which appear to be inside of the includes files.
extended_type_info_typeid.hpp
check.hpp
The code inspector goes to the error....
In file included from /opt/local/include/boost/archive/detail/interface_oarchive.hpp:23:
In file included from /opt/local/include/boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp:38:

        BOOST_STATIC_WARNING(boost::is_polymorphic< T >::value);
        ^

Is there a way to stop this? How do I suppress this type of warning?
Is this a Clang issue? Isn't Boost cross-platform?

A: Boost is error-free, but it does not purport itself as warning free. You are getting errors, because you told the compiler to treat warnings as errors (-Werror).
If you don't want to see Boost warnings, you can make sure that the compiler path to the headers is given by -isystem rather than -I, which will hide warnings from those headers. In CMake, this can be done by including the SYSTEM option in include_directories. See https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/include_directories.html.

Microsoft's MS-DOS is 30 today
Kudos to QDOS
By Tony Smith 27 Jul 2011 at 06:00
MS-DOS is 30 years old today. Well, kind of. On 27 July 1981, Microsoft gave the name MS-DOS to the disk operating system it acquired on that day from Seattle Computer Products (SCP), a hardware company owned and run by a fellow called Rod Brock.
SCP developed what it at various times called QDOS and 86-DOS to run on a CPU card it had built based on Intel's 8086 processor.
Command line: MS-DOS 1.19 still running after all these years
The company had planned to use Digital Research's CP/M-86 operating system, then still in development. But, having released the card in November 1979 - it shipped with an 8086-compatible version Microsoft's Basic language interpreter-cum-operating system - and reached April 1980 without CP/M-86 becoming available to bundle, SCP decided it had to create its own OS for the card.
Enter, in August 1980, QDOS. It really did stand for Quick and Dirty Operating System. That's actually what it was: a basic but serviceable OS good for coding and running programs written in 8086 assembly language - the x86 instruction set. It was written by SCP's Tim Paterson, who had joined the company as a programmer a couple of years previously and began work on it in April 1980.
On the cards: Seattle Computer Products advertises its wares
Some observers later claimed that QDOS too closely resembled CP/M for comfort. Paterson himself would later say that QDOS' design criteria specifically included the abililty to support programs written for CP/M and compiled for the 8086. That's not at all surprising given that SCP undoubtedly saw QDOS as a temporary stand in until Digital Research (DR) shipped CP/M-86.
The picture we have today is muddied by the claims that IBM originally wanted to use CP/M-86 in its first personal computer. IBM and DR famously failed to come to terms that would allow CP/M-86 to be bundled with the PC, and IBM turned to Microsoft for an alternative. Digital Research founder Gary Kildall, who died in 1994, would later allege that Microsoft's product was a rip off, fuelling plagiarism claims that Paterson has always denied - he reverse engineered it.
The competition: CP/M-86 in action
Update My fellow Reg hack Andrew Orlowski points out that, no matter what Paterson says, the US court ruled against the programmer in a defamation lawsuit he brought against publisher Little Brown for claiming the origins of QDOS were not clear-cut.
Back in 1980, Paterson continued to evolve QDOS through the year, the OS being renamed 86-DOS - it was now evidently no longer viewed as a rough-and-ready stand-in - between September and December 1980. Accounts differ as to when the name - and the OS' status - was switched, but December is the date Paterson himself gave during a Softtalk interview published just a few years later.

Re Father haveing a brother
I have always been under the imressionthat he was an only child. It is unfortunate if so because there seems to be no one that I can ask about what he was like. It struck me that it may be I might find decendants of his father's brothers who I think would be my second cousins.

i did see the other marsh birth in auckland but given the long time difference i thought it unlikely but you never know. the only way to be sure would be to buy the birth cert. likewise the only way to be sure about lily brown would be to buy the marriage cert giving age, fathers name and occupation etc.

I would like to thank everybody who has so far contributed to this thread. I have consolidated the information gained from it and would like to see if I can glean any more information before the thread becomes too cold.
In 1944 (or before)the late Ramsay Marsh, son of Elias and Lily, met a girl in Canada and married her there in 1945. She died a few years ago but it is not my intention to look into her background but rather to look to see what I can find of my late mother's (Thelma E. E. Kirtland b 1928) family. So far I have got basic details as follows:
According to the Slough Windsor an Eton Express she married my father at Windsor Methodist church at Windsor on Sunday 2 6 1952. I know that the wedding reception was held at The Swan P.H. in Clewer near Windsor. The paper says that the Best Man at the wedding was Mr. A. G. Morton-Fuller, who I suspect, may have been an American or Canadian air force Flight Sergeant. How can I find out about him?
My mother's father (Leonard Ralph Kirtland) was born at Clewer, Berkshire in 1885. He died at Windsor hospital of TB in 1956.
His wife Ethel Elizabeth Nee Green was born at Winkfield Berkshire in Dec. 1889 and died at Winkfield in 1967 having spent all of her life in and around Windsor. Apparently she delivered milk from a horse and cart there when she was about 14.
Her mother or other relations may be mentioned in this passage from The Windsor and Eton Express 28th January 1837
Windsor Police
On Thursday four men, named Richard Green, George Green, John Wilson, and John Raygon; were bought before the Magistrates, charged with stealing two coppers, the property of Mr.Bedborough, from some of his houses in South-place. The coppers were stolen on Monday night, and from some circumstances of strong suspicion against the prisoners they were apprehended on Tuesday. Upon these circumstances being stated, the prisoners were remanded for further examination on Monday next. From some private information which was obtained, Captain Thomson, after the men had been remanded, granted a search warrant to Copas, the Clewer Constable, who proceeded to the premises of an old woman, named Green, a relative of two of the prisoners, residing in Clewer fields, and succeeded in discovering the two stolen coppers buried in the garden attached to her house. On Monday the property will be forthcoming , and the old woman herself will be brought forward.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dutillieul/ZWindsorEtonExpress/28thJanuary1837.html
I should like to find a posotive or negative linkage. Any help much appreciated.
I should also like to be able to know more about Leonard's family who were:
Percy b.1896
George Henery (sp?) b. 1895
Eva 1893
Walley 1880
Ernest b. 1876
George b. 1874
Ada b.1873
An uncle told me that his aunt Ada used run tea rooms or a tea shop in Eton Hight Street 'about 5 doors down from Windsor bridge'.
Thomas James b.1872 Baptised at Clewer.
The same uncle told me that Thomas used to own a lot of property in Windsor 'about ten or twenty houses'. Including some pubs. I know for a fact that he had The Coach and Horses in Oxford Road Windsor and that in the pub was still being run by Mrs Lucy Kirtland before it was demolished in 1967. http://www.thamesweb.co.uk/windsor/windsorhistory/Oxford%20Road/1950-1965%20OxfordRoad.html
I am not sure if this Lucy was the wife or daughter of Thomas and really would most welcome further information on him. My uncle described him as 'a most interesting character, lets just say that you would not want to be on the wrong side of him' Unfortunately, I am not in possession of the picture of his uncle that in itself tells just that story. Apparently Tommy moved to London and opened pubs or clubs there.
The passage below from http://www.thamesweb.co.uk/pubs/windsorpubs.html gives one of the flavour of Windsor before it was gentrified.
'It seems that in 1836, a Mr John Gibbs, landlord of The Coach and Horses public house, was prosecuted for 'running a disorderly house'. This establishment does not appear to get a mention ten years later. George Street also appears to get a regular mention in the Magistrates Courts transcripts. The Spread Eagle, The Rose and Crown, The Blue Anchor and The Prince George as well as a brothel and beer shop known as Wheelers get regular mentions. In 1849, The Spread Eagle's licence was transferred to The Bachelors Arms in Victoria Street, just prior to George Street's demolition. In Clewer Fields, William Austin's beer shop was the home to five girls who provided the census taker with enough information to indicate their profession was prostitution. Many were known only by their nicknames such as Fat Ellen, Black Hannah, Wraysbury Hannah, Biddy, Snook, Spital Bounce or the Sergeant Major. I have strayed off the point of this work but it is of note in order to capture these times in the history of Windsor'.
Any more relevant information please?

Do you have Leonard and Ethel's marriage cert? (dec qtr 1914, Maidenhead 2c 1034) If so, does it give Ethel's father's name?
Having difficulty find the right Ethel on the censuses - there is an Ethel Green in Clewer on the 1911 census, but she was not born in Winkfield.
Also there seems to be a bit of a mystery with the parents of the 1911 Ethel. WIll carry on digging!
Ok, something odd going on (if you have looked at the 1911 census entry, you will know why I picked up on this marriage!).
In 1904, at the parish church of Emmanuel in Paddington, Richard Redrup (38, bachelor) married Mary Ethel Tomkins (38, widow).
Both residing at 89 Watterton Road
Groom's father was Thomas Redrup, baker, deceased
Bride's father was George James Russel, farmer, deceased
Witnesses: Michael Mark Coleman and Ethel Elizabeth Green
Possible for 1891 census:
18 Brittania Place, Battersea
Henry Green Head Mar 27 Horse keeper bn Shrops, Oswestry
Mary Ethel Green Wife Mar 26 bn Berks, Windsor
Elizabeth Ethel Green Dau 1 bn Berks, SLough
Elizabeth Russell mother in law wid 62 Living on own means bn Berks Windsor
Albert Harry Russell son in law single 28 carman bn Berks, Windsor
RG12; Piece: 435; Folio: 83; Page: 28
Henry Green married Mary Ethel Russell in Mar qtr 1889 Windsor 2c 579
It looks as if the marriage to Richard Redrup was bigamous - certainly on his side becase I think that he was married already to an Ada, who doesn't appear to die until 1940!
There is a marriage between Mary Ethel Green and Austin Herbert Tomkins in Wolverhampton 1900, and a death of Austin Herbert Tomkins in Windsor in 1904 (2c 314)
