First Santa Barbara UN Association Peace Prize awarded to Rinaldo S. Brutoco
The Board of Directors, Staff, and family at the Academy would like to congratulate the World Business Academy's founding president, Rinaldo S. Brutoco, who has been honored as the recipient of the inaugural 2017 Santa Barbara Peace Prize from the United Nations Association of Santa Barbara & Tri Counties.
The United Nations Association (UNA) of Santa Barbara & Tri Counties was started in 1947 and is the oldest chapter in the nation. This organization has engaged locally with many important global topics, such as the Fukushima nuclear disaster, youth in peril, climate change, and educating the community about human trafficking and the plight of refugees internationally. To celebrate its 70th year, the UNA decided to honor contributions made by local people working toward a more peaceful world. The UNA created the Santa Barbara Peace Prize for nominees who live locally and have achieved measurable progress in creating peace in the world, advancing the cause of human rights internationally, and/or advancing the progress of developing nations.
UNA of Santa Barbara President Barbara Gaughen-Muller said that in this first year of the Peace Prize, the nominees were very impressive. "Google 'Rinaldo S. Brutoco,' and you'll be stunned by what he's accomplished," she said. Nominating Rinaldo was Dr. Jerry Brown, director of the Academy's Beyond Nuclear Energy Initiative. Jerry called Rinaldo a visionary leader who inspires cooperation for the common good.
Rinaldo has accomplished way too much to list here in a blog but here's a snapshot that shows how Rinaldo's reach has extended far beyond the work he does with the World Business Academy. Rinaldo has served on the board of directors of several non-profits, including: The Gorbachev Foundation, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, the State of the World Forum, the Omega Point Institute and the National Peace Academy. Brutoco is also co-author of Profiles in Power: The Anti-Nuclear Movement and the Dawn of the Solar Age (1997) and Freedom from Mid-East Oil (2007).
Rinaldo also played a significant role in helping to establish and grow the National Peace Academy, which, among other things, is an affiliate of the George Mason University School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution. Brutoco also serves on the Permanent Drafting Committee for the Geneva-based group that is developing "A Global Bill of Rights" (www.uniteforrights.org), appointed in 2017. And, he was the Founding Chairman of Unstoppable, a nonprofit humanitarian organization that has built schools and provided clean drinking water for over 10,000 African children and their parents.
Rinaldo received a Congressional Commendation in 2010 for his humanitarian service and outstanding contribution to the culture of peace and an Ellis Island Medal for his lifetime achievements as an immigrant to the United States.
Rinaldo co-founded JUST Capital, which each year surveys the American people to find out what they value most when it comes to corporate behavior and then ranks the 1,000 largest publicly-traded corporations based on the priorities Americans share. And, he has served as either the president and/or as a board member for the Chopra Foundation from 2013 to the present.
Please join us as we honor Rinaldo with the UNA of Santa Barbara at a celebration dinner on Tuesday, Oct. 24 – which happens to be United Nations Day. The dinner starts at 5:30 p.m. at Moby Dick Restaurant in Santa Barbara. Tickets may be purchased at unasb.org. We'll raise a glass to toast Rinaldo and hope for his continued success to make the world a better place.

Innovative Bot Colony game pulled — cost $2M-$3M to make but only brought in $10,000

How to get Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition for free if you own the PC version
It's not easy making games.
Canadian developer North Side pulled the plug yesterday on its pioneering PC adventure game Bot Colony, with lifetime sales of just 814 copies. Bot Colony used North Side's own natural language understanding (NLU) technology to let players have realistic conversations with A.I. robots. But PC gamers weren't interested enough in the innovative tech for it to turn a profit — in fact, the game has cost North Side millions of dollars. With Sega also closing its once legendary San Francisco office earlier today, this is yet another example of the perilous nature of the gaming industry.
North Side founder and high-tech entrepreneur Eugene Joseph explained that Bot Colony sales are so poor they don't even cover the cost of running the NLU servers. "Sales are so low we can't even cover the cost of the servers running the Natural Language Understanding software, which is $524 per month," he said in an open letter on the Steam digital store. "We don't even sell two units per day, which would enable us to keep the servers running."
Bot Colony cost between $2 million to $3 million to make, according to Joseph. That's on top of the $20 million that North Side invested creating its NLU technology. And with lifetime sales of just $10,000, the numbers just don't add up.
Bot Colony is no longer available to purchase via Steam Early Access — the sales portal that lets people buy games still in development — but Joseph says he'll keep the servers running until Mar. 15 for those who already own it. After that, this game will no longer work.
North Side released a large update to Bot Colony just last week, but it only brought in $200 extra in gross sales. In contrast, the update actually cost $460,000 to build, according to Joseph.
"This was the last straw that led to the decision today to shut the game down — 96 hours after launching the update," he said.
The misadventure has cost Joseph personally, as he explained in some detail.
"I've subsidized Bot Colony for years, and as a result I now owe $5M to the banks," he said. "My house — and it's a nice house that I love where I've lived the last 15 years — is on the market. I've had to lay off 40 of our employees — most of our staff — because of the lack of sales. It is a tragedy, especially because we've put our hearts into this game, believing we will change the industry by enabling players to converse with the characters in games.
"I've always enjoyed taking care of our customers, so I cringe at the thought of pulling the plug, but we don't have a choice."

Ohla Barcelona Hotel
Classic Catalan cool
Beside Barrio Gotico
More hotels in Barcelona More hotels in Spain
Behind its neoclassical façade, Ohla Barcelona Hotel combines minimalist interiors with a red-hot rooftop pool and on-trend tapas joint. This former department store on the site of an old palace was renovated with assistance from artist and sculptor Frederic Amat, whose surreal ceramic 'eyes' adorn the building.
Get this when you book through us:
A bottle of wine or cava
Seventy-four, including 24 junior suites and one duplex suite.
Noon. Earliest check-in, 3pm.
Double rooms from £193.33 (€220), including tax at 10 per cent. Please note the hotel charges an additional government tax of €5.78 per person per night on check-out.
Some rates include buffet breakfast (€22 a person).
An à la carte room-personalisation service is available on request; choose your pillows, amenities and even the aroma of your sheets.
Gym and wellness centre, sauna, hair salon, library, DVD library, terrace and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: flatscreen TV, iPod dock and minibar.
Our favourite rooms
Standard rooms overlook the inner garden or Comtal pedestrian street; bag room 602 for its large walk-in shower. Design rooms are airy and open-plan, so be prepared to abandon inhibitions. Room 603 has large floor-to-ceiling windows and a view over the Palau de la Musica from the shower. Book a light and spacious Junior Suite Deluxe for a living room and huge arched windows; we love room 508 for its dark, sexy bathroom with rain shower and separate bath overlooking Via Laietana.
The glass-sided unheated rooftop pool is surrounded by white leather loungers and cabanas, offering unparalleled views of the city.
A notebook for jotting down the bartender's cocktail recipes, and a favourite frock/shirt for sampling them on the rooftop terrace. If the nights are chilly the hotel provides pashminas. Leave techy bits behind: the hotel has a variety of DVDs, Playstation games, and a laptop or iPad.
In-room massages are available on request. Two standard rooms are adapted for wheelchair users.
Kids are welcome. Extra beds (€56 a night in a Junior Suite or Junior Suite Deluxe) and cots (free on request, subject to availability) can be added to rooms. Babysitting is available with a local nanny, subject to availability.
Committed to sustainable tourism, Ohla Barcelona has earned Biosphere Certification and has pledged to hit targets agreed in the World Summit on Sustainable Development. The hotel has reduced electricity and water consumption, all food is locally sourced and seasonal (and the hotel favours working with suppliers who have eco-cred) and a robust recycling programme is in place; even the coffee capsules are composted. Ohla Barcelona also works with social do-good foundations Mercè Fontanilles Foundation, Caritas, Fundació Roure, Fundació Trinijove and Fundació Guné.
For a view of La Plassohla's bustling open kitchen, ask for a bar-side stool at the counter.
Understated Spanish chic.
Ohla Barcelona has two restaurants, each with a singular style and menu. On the ground floor, the relaxed La Plassohla serves creative tapas dishes and has an industrial, slightly masculine feel, with high ceilings, concrete pillars and huge slate tiles lining the bar and open kitchen. Guests and locals alike have enthusiastically taken to the innovative tapas plates – whittling down your selections from the lengthy menu is hard, but we recommend the razor clams on toast with olives and lemon, the Iberian ham croquettes, and the confit chicken thigh with curry-flavoured 'crisps'. Tuck into one of Chef Romain Fornell's tasting menus at the Michelin-starred, Caelis Romain Fornell; try the tart of trout's eggs, followed by a sardine sandwich and rock fish bouillabaisse with saffron rouille. For a front-row view of the Michelin-starred masterchef at work, request a seat around the kitchen.
La Plassohla serve tapas and an early-evening tipple.
La Plassohla is open from noon to 12am. Caelis is open for lunch Wed to Sat from 1.30pm to 3.30pm, and dinner, Tues to Sat, 8pm-10.30pm.
Room service is available 24 hours a day and includes appetisers, sandwiches, fish and meat plates, desserts and cheeses.
Ohla Hotel has a great location in Barcelona's old town, a 5-minute stroll from Las Ramblas; the Gothic Quarter, Eixample and Barceloneta are all within easy reach.
The nearest airport is Barcelona Airport, known locally as El Prat, about 17km from the hotel.
Estació de França is a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Barcelona's main railway station, Estació de Sants, is about 6km away. It's a 17-minute subway ride on the L1 line. The nearest metro station (Urquinaono, L1, L4) is only 20m from the hotel, and Catalunya (L1, L3) is 200m away.
The hotel is within walking distance of the Ramblas, so you won't need a car to explore. There's an extensive metro and bus service if you're venturing further afield, or hail a taxi. If you do have a car, parking is available at the hotel for €30 a day, subject to availability. It takes about two hours to drive from France to Barcelona on the AP-7, and six from Madrid on the A2, via Zaragoza.
Worth getting out of bed for
After you've soaked up the Catalan rooftop rays and let yourself loose at Ohla's award-winning cocktail bar, you'll want to see what the rest of Barcelona has to offer. Take a wander through the narrow streets of the Barrio Gotico, pausing to peer into the tiny boutiques along Calle Avinyo and the tapas bars of Calle Ferran. If your cards need a workout, then head to nearby El Corte Inglés for a dose of Spain's favourite department store. For designer labels, head over to Paseo de Grácia. You'll find more independent and unusual shops in the El Born area. The city is an exhilarating mix of Gothic and Spanish modernist architecture; Gaudi's Casa Battló and La Pedrera are two of the most visually exciting examples. Have drinks on the strikingly surreal roof of the latter, with views over the city. The hotel is also just a five-minute walk from Palau de la Música Catalana, where the elaborate stained-glass windows and extraordinarily grand interiors will make you gasp, before a classical music concert stirs your soul. The Gothic architecture of Barcelona Cathedral may well have a similar effect. Passing theough Plaça de Catalunya on your wanderings is a must, too.
Borrow one of the hotel's foldaway bikes and cycle down to Agua on the beachfront; it's fab for seafood. Grab a shady spot on the outside terrace if the sun's beating down. 7 Portes on Passeig d'Isabel II is the oldest restaurant in Barcelona and serves authentic Catalan fare in a formal setting with a pianist from 10.30pm. For fine pairings, Pepa Pla is a wine bar with a very tempting tapas menu. Models, footballers and discerning tourists head to Monk Bar on Pau Claris for its elegant Japanese, Mediterranean and French cuisine.
Local cafés
A few doors down from the hotel, the small, cute Creps Barcelona café serves – unsurprisingly – crêpes and gallettes in sweet and savoury combos, with a range of teas and infusions. Look out for heavenly Caelum in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, a 15 minute stroll from the hotel. Stylish café and shop combined, it's the perfect place to stock up on yummy Spanish goodies (marzipan, nougat, brownies…)
Local bars
Bar Mut is well worth a try – people eat late here and it's on the expensive side but the fish-focused tapas are delicious. Try the scallops or the carpaccio huevos fritos. If speakeasies are your jam, nose around Paradiso's 'pastrami bar' until you find its hidden door – cool cocktails are your reward. And Bitter Cocktail Bar is actually the site of many a sweet night. Not all their libations live up to its name.
Anonymous review
By James Davidson , What he hearts
I can't take my eyes off Xavi Hernández. I'm at Barcelona's Camp Nou, a mecca for football fans. It's a blustery spring night in the Catalan capital, and I'm finally watching an FC Barcelona home match. Everyone else, of course, is watching Lionel Messi – considered by many The Best Player In The World. Xavi is quietly efficient, graceful, making the hard things look easy… streamlined. (Bear with me, I am getting to the part where I talk about our hip hotel.) In many ways, the footballer's movements are akin to our hotel: Ohla Hotel puts the ugly things out of sight, does the whole five-star thing without a song or dance, and retains effortless calm throughout.
Riffing on the footie analogy, Ohla has relegated the reception to the first floor. There are no luggage-laden, airport-weary tourists cluttering up this lobby. Sidle into the softly lit entrance through the discreet glass doors of this boutique Barcelona hotel, and you instantly sense the low-key buzz from the ground-floor restaurant and bar, where even the locals want a piece of the action. Built on the site of the first Count of Barcelona's palace, this refurbished former department store and police office has dispensed with its civic duties to concern itself solely with the pursuit of pleasure.
Inside the bedrooms, cupboards and WC unsightliness has been done away with, eliminating the more scruffy elements of the room (they've, confusingly at first, been hidden behind the bathroom's sleek black walls). The lighting is behind architectural cut-outs in the ceiling, and there are absolutely no furnishings that needn't be there. It's minimalist, but with a distinctly braver space-age feel rather than your typical Scandi style.
Fans of the flamboyant, fear not, it's not all slick understated refinement. Our room's centerpiece is the shower: more than a nod to the showy artistry of Messi. Standing on the edge of where our open-plan bathroom meets the bedroom – an enclosed ensuite with three clear-glass sides – it shouts proudly that not everything should be hidden. This isn't form over function either, the soaking from the ginormous rainfall head is a near-religious experience, and while it might not be wholly appropriate for friends travelling together, who cares? This is a romantic trip. And you can easily fit two in here.
Surprisingly it's outside where the splendour is at its strongest. The hotel's entire façade is dominated by Mur d'ulls, 2011 a work by artist Frederic Amat, in which hundreds of ceramic eyeballs dramatically peer out at us. They're curiously dotted around the neoclassical front exterior, and litter the modern façade at the rear. You can get up close and personal with these peculiar little pupils from the chill-out terrace, which is a perfect mixture of the hotel's extravagance and refinement. It's very New York, but with views of the mesmeric architectural chaos of Gothic Barcelona instead of skyscrapers. You can spend an age here – and we do – ogling the near-perfect vistas. By summer, this must be one of Barcelona's most splendid spots.
Then there's the location. We'd arrived the day earlier, Mrs Smith and I giving each other a knowingly smug grin as the taxi pulled up outside the hotel. We know Barcelona well and were more than a little pleased with its locale; Ohla Ciutat Vella is steps away from the best of the Gothic Quarter and just a short walk from El Born, a fashionable area with some fine eateries and nightspots (the internationally renowned tapas of El Xampanyet and Cal Pep, and the undeniably pretty new hotspot, Café Kafka are just some favourites).
Gastrobar is a light, airy space where the divine breakfast is also held. It's a voyeurs' dream with huge windows looking out onto the bustling streets outside. If you're smart you'll perch at the sleek bar and watch the chefs busily preparing tapas and platillos like Iberian pork cheek with sweet potato and charcoal-grilled mussels with fresh tomato sauce. The biggest hitters for us? The Marennes-Oléron oysters with green apple and kaffir lime: utterly sublime, we immediately ordered more; this is the sort of forward-thinking execution of Catalan cuisine that will see you back again, and again.
Finally we stray from the arms of luxury, and spend a day snooping around the streets around the hotel – boutiques interspersed with tapas and caña. (Bar Pinotxo, just inside Boqueria Market, is a must, with prodigious el Bulli icon Ferran Adrià agreeing on this.) Then, soon enough, we are on to see another of the chef's great loves: FC Barcelona. It's a masterclass, and they run out easy 4–0 winners. There's a period in the second half, where the opposition don't touch the ball for nearly 20 minutes; it was that moment where I started thinking of the Ohla analogy… It too is a well-oiled machine, and for large periods, the competition doesn't come close.

Q: Why can't I change my name in minecraft? When I launch minecraft if I change my name from the launcher, when I go in game my name is not changed.
I've tried exiting out of minecraft and the launcher but it hasn't reset my name.

A: Clicking the edit profile button and changing that name is not the real name.
To change your username:

*

*Log in to http://account.mojang.com.

*Click Change, next to your Minecraft name.

*Enter a new name and enter your password.

*Click the Change Name button to confirm.
Your username has been changed.
Now wait a couple minutes (up to 15) and logout and log back into the launcher again.

A: You are correct in that Minecraft does not accept the username -=maxdude2074=-.
Minecraft usernames can only contain letters and numbers. Therefore, unless you have an alphanumerical replacement for -= and =-, I suggest not worrying about username changes at present, as there is a cooldown for name changes.

A: You cannot change you name unless you get a new account as far as i know

The Fast-Rising Men of Present-day Country Music Part I
There has been much talk about how the women of Country are outperforming the men when it comes to the excellence of music. There were many reasons plated following that point. However, we have not talked about some of the men that if simply given a chance, could sprout an instant dose of an ingredient into the country music format. They just need comparable odds to their female equals. The lack of talent has never been country music's problem. It has been distinguishing that talent and letting it flourish by voicing its uniqueness and creativeness. Here are seven fast-rising men who, right now, could make country format instantly improved.
Simpson is already making breaks out there on the road presenting for Dwight Yoakam. He has one of the best organizations and engagement teams behind him. You are lucky if you ever had a chance to watch him when he started solo with country music in 2013. Self-assured to take the country music world by storm, Sturgill's debut solo album High Top Mountain blew the doors off of country music. Everything is in place. The next question is, will country music pay courtesy?
Let me tell you this. You have been hearing Will Hoge on the mainstream country radio. Just that, his songs are sung by others. Hoge is one of those composers who has been right on the edge of breaking through for fifteen years but has always just been one vital puzzle part away. Eli Young Band had a hit last year with his song "Even If It Breaks Your Heart". Sadly, that time, Hoge did not even have a publishing deal. Recently, Lady Antebellum recorded his song "Better Off Now."
Though Will has fought to find the best break to take his music to the next level, he is a tested performer. He has proven his excellence as a songwriter opening up new melodies. He positively challenges other male performers and writers to release material that is more formidable. Luckily, Will is now with BMG Nashville as a songwriter.
Evan Felker, the Turnpike Troubadours
You may not be able to find a better sample of a songwriter that can bring true country material yet still find demand with the crowd. Felker songs like "Every Girl" "7 & 7" and "Good Lord, Lorrie" are just shouting to be cut by a bigger name. The hardest thing for a Red Dirt Texas country band to do is to make that change from regional stars to national acknowledgment. They have to do it without flashing their hair with highlights or releasing songs with clear goals at radio success. The next years are very critical for this band. However, if Nashville had any sense, they would step on the Turnpike Troubadours bandwagon now.
Stay tuned for our last set of The Fast-Rising Men of Present-day Country Music by visiting our website on Country Thang Daily.

4 Business Disasters That Could Have Been Avoided With Real-Time Anomaly Detection
by Nir Kalish
Digital, network-connected systems are transforming every aspect of business — from your mission-critical workloads to your most rarely used applications. But the increases in scalability and cost efficiency come at a cost.
Because every system is so reliant on network connectivity, unplanned downtime is becoming increasingly expensive. What happens when you have total system outages? Or when you have a minor glitch that's preventing eCommerce checkouts? Or, when you have a software bug causing micro-glitches that lead customers to find new solutions?
Even the smallest issues can have major implications for your bottom line. But spotting slow business leaks is often easier said than done. Rather than flying blind on slow business leaks, you can integrate real-time anomaly detection to help stay ahead of glitches, bugs and downtime. These four companies could have avoided serious business disasters if they had done the same.
Disaster #1: Knight Capital
Outages are usually credited as the most costly business disasters. And at an average cost of $300,000 per hour, that's no surprise. That's a drop in the bucket compared to what happened when global finserv firm Knight Capital in 2012 experienced a computer glitch in a new trading software.
Within 45 minutes, the company's trading systems bought and sold millions of shares in hundreds of different stocks before the issue was resolved. Meanwhile, they traded overvalued shares back to the market and lost the company $440-million.
The incident lasted less than an hour, but there were opportunities to identify operational anomalies the day of the glitch and in the days following Knight Capital's rollout of new trading software.
Every second counts in situations like this one, and autonomous detection could have saved the company hundreds of millions of dollars.
Disaster #2: Wells Fargo
In November 2018, Wells Fargo said that it identified a computer glitch that had been quietly impacting the business (and its customers) for more than eight years. You read that right – EIGHT YEARS.
The glitch in its underwriting software resulted in 870 loan modification rejections — 545 of which caused homes to go into foreclosure.
According to the company, the glitch included calculation errors that disqualified loan modification candidates who should have been approved. The total amount of money Wells Fargo paid out as a result is unclear, but one customer reportedly received $25,000 in damages.
It's possible that the analytics team was searching for anomalies manually. But whatever processes were in place, it's clear that a small leak got past the team and led to this widespread issue.
If the analytics team had been backed up by AI-driven, real-time anomaly detection, they might have caught this glitch before it had such costly consequences.
Disaster #3: Macy's
It seems every holiday season, there's at least one mega-retailer who experiences a data glitch of massive proportions. This year it was Macy's. On Black Friday, the department store chain's credit card system went down which triggered revenue loss both in stores and online.
No retailer is immune to the small glitches that lead to revenue loss and lost revenue and damaged reputations. Even though the outages from high-volume traffic on Cyber Monday and Black Friday receive all the headlines, other problems like incorrect pricing, mistargeted advertising, and missed upsell opportunities all hurt the bottom line.
If you look closely enough, something like a widespread credit card outage doesn't happen suddenly. You can track the buildup of small transaction failures, increased latency, and other warning signs that a problem is on the horizon. But even if you have a full-time team dedicated to looking for these issues, high-volume situations make it impossible to track them manually.
Real-time anomaly detection can automatically present these warning signs to system admins so they can proactively address issues before there's an outage. For Macy's, this might have meant some slow response times for the first few transactions rather than a full-blown outage with potentially millions of dollars in damages.
Disaster #4: The IRS
The use cases for real-time anomaly detection aren't limited to financial transactions like in banking or eCommerce. Behavioral anomalies can plague any system in any industry — and the government is no exception.
Back in 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was entering its tenth year using the same software for fraud detection in tax returns. They were promised a new version of the software, so they shut down the original and waited. Except the new software wasn't implemented before the deadline and glitches in the system resulted in 66% of fraudulent claims making it through screening.
The inability to spot fraudulent claims cost the government between $200 million and $300 million that year. Now, rather than baking anomaly detection into the tax software, it can exist as its own entity, spotting suspicious claims in real time and alerting officials before approval.
Automated Real-Time Anomaly Detection: Prevent Losses, Spot Opportunities
The first key to any real-time anomaly detection system is to gain a baseline of your entire business. That means learning the normal behavior of each system, across all business metrics, and constantly monitoring against that baseline.
Automating this process is essential for your success, because there's just too much information for any team to manually process. But once you have automated real-time anomaly detection in place, you can avoid disasters like the ones listed above with the help of:
Immediate alerts sent via text, email, Slack, Jira, and other channels to ensure admins act on anomalies before it's too late
Deep integration that ensures accurate data across applications databases, storage, CRM, IT infrastructure, and more
Automated root cause analysis that links anomalies to business incidents, cutting through the clutter of metrics to solve real issues.
These benefits help real-time anomaly detection prevent issues that will negatively impact your bottom line. But they can also be used to spot positive opportunities. For example, real-time anomaly detection can pinpoint when an upsell opportunity is working, giving you the insights necessary to invest more in that existing campaign or tactic.
Whether you're fixing negative business incidents or trying to do more of what works, real-time anomaly detection gives you the insights necessary for success.

My reason for traveling cross-country by car in 1996 was that I had 6 cases of wine that I just couldn't bear to part with. Unfortunately, the only way to transport wine out of Virginia back then was to be a distributor. Nobody would take it, and it probably would have spoiled anyway. So…I decided to bring it with me in the car. As I approached the California border, I had a little fantasy about what I would say at the obligatory "fruit inspection," and this outburst summed up the whole trip.
Last poem in the collection, Road Noise.
She wants to know what fruits I've packed.
"Just fifty thousand grapes, I think!
Which would've probably kept me sane.


I really think the only way we don't trade out of the 1st is if someone falls that we REALLY like. Moving back 5-7 spots will get us some nice extra picks. So if we end up keeping our pick, they must be really high on whoever they take (or just really high).
WR Antonio Callaway tested positive for marijuana at the combine.
Enjoy you're undrafted status you incredibly talented idiot.
Edit: apparently the test was "diluted" which caused the test to be deemed a failure. He says he was "over hydrated"
I'm going to guess that the Vikings will trade out of the first, pick up a 4th and a 7th.
Positions I think they'll target, OL, RB, TE, DE, CB.
Positions they won't target, QB, WR.
No room on the roster for another QB and being stuck with 3 plus million in Treadwell's deal, plus needing to resign Diggs, they'll go rent a WR for the next couple years if longshots like Coley and Zylstra don't pan out.
I'd add DT, and put it as a need right under OL. Right now our backup to Linval is Dylan Bradley. Bradley weighs something like 265lbs. Hopefully Jaleel Johnson steps up but his knock has been he struggles in run defense. If we sign all our pending big FA's, I don't see how we can hang onto Sheldon Richardson. So both from a depth perspective and looking to 2019, I think we need another solid DT. That's part of the reason I was baffled they didn't bring back Stephen.

Totally agree that OL and then DL are our top priorities, though a CB would not completely surprise me either.
I agree that WR is not a likely target for RD 1, but it wouldn't surprise me to see us draft one in round 3 to 7.
Good point. DT is a major need next year, and a moderate/high need (due to depth) in 2018.

China's duties on distiller's dried grains seen killing US exports
01/11/17 4:42 PM By Bill Tomson
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2017 – A long-feared ruling by China's Commerce Ministry to slap import duties on U.S. distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) will effectively kill U.S. exports to the country, U.S. Grains Council President Tom Sleight said today.
China issued a preliminary decision on the duties in September and finalized the ruling Tuesday.
Sleight said the new anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD), together with existing duties and taxes, would total roughly 90 percent of the price of U.S. DDGS.
The industry is bracing for a sharp downturn in what has been a lucrative trade relationship for years. U.S. exports of DDGS to China have been on the rise in recent years as U.S. companies sold hundreds of millions of dollars of the livestock feed product that is a byproduct of ethanol production.
China bought 6.3 million tons of DDGS in 2015, valued at about $1.6 billion, according to U.S. Grains Council officials. That was up from 4.3 million tons, worth about $1.25 billion, in 2014.
Sleight said the Grains Council has been working together with the U.S. Trade Representative for over a year to counteract Chinese allegations that that the U.S. subsidizes DDGS production and that the product was being dumped in China at below-market prices.
"The decisions in the anti-dumping and countervailing duties investigations are not supported by the evidence and raise serious questions regarding the Ministry's compliance with standard AD/CVD procedures and with China's international obligations," Sleight said in a statement released Wednesday.
China hits US DDGS with anti-dumping duties
US ethanol producers, Grains Council deny 'dumping' DDGS in China
China policy on DDGS dominates Grains Council board meeting
"While painful and damaging to the U.S. DDGS industry, their biggest negative impact will ultimately be on China's feed and livestock industries, which risk losing access to an important and cost-effective feed ingredient, and on millions of Chinese households that will likely face greater food price inflation and less access to affordable, wholesome pork, poultry and dairy products."
Sleight said the action taken against U.S. DDGS comes just 10 days after the Chinese government acted to increase tariffs on imported U.S. ethanol from 5 percent to 30 percent, effectively stopping a growth market for U.S. farmers and ethanol producers.
With the Chinese market for DDGS now gone, Sleight said in an interview, U.S. exporters are focusing on growing demand in other importing countries like South Korea and Mexico. The Grains Council has been focused on gaining traction in alternative markets for the past year, Sleight said, and those efforts have been successful.
But the loss of the Chinese market still hurts, he said, adding that he Council is hoping to meet with the incoming Trump administration on working to improve trade ties with China.
"Trade is too important to U.S. agriculture to let it devolve into further friction, so we want to engage the (Trump) administration on the importance of agricultural trade with China and try to get some progress towards solutions … It's important that we get this right."

S&P Core Logic Case-Shiller Home Price Indices – Housing Still Booming
Today's S&P Core Logic Case-Shiller Home Price Indices Report indicated that nationally, seasonally adjusted home prices increased a notable 2.55% in March rising a whopping 20.55% above the level seen a year earlier. The 20-city index also increased notably rising 3.07% on the month and 21.17% above the level seen in March 2021 while the 10-city index increased 2.84% and 19.51% respectively.
It's important to note that this data lags a bit and that most (if not all) home sales included in today's data-set likely settled while mortgage interest rates were still in the 3 percent range.
That said, the Case-Shiller home price index is really the "gold standard" in home price data and very accurately reflects the price trends in the tracked markets. There are other home price indices that also merit attention and I will feature these in due time.
The methodology behind the Case-Shiller indices was really a significant innovation in that it succeeded in eliminating the distorting effects that are present in the simple median or average home price data published by the National Association of Realtors by utilizing a three month moving average of the price change in numerous sale pairs (i.e. a house that recently transacted with a true "arms-length" sale thereby creating a pair of true market settled prices between the current and last sale) and then value-weighting to adjust for changes in house quality.
As I understand it, Dr Case and Dr Shiller formulated this approach and implemented the construction of these indices for some time just using research students, a significant achievement given the labor involved in gathering and vetting all the source data.
A short digression though…
When I was more actively blogging way back in 2008, I was pleasantly surprised by how approachable and accessible Dr Case was. He was very enthusiastic about interacting through email, over the phone and in person (at presentations) and he even submitted a post for me to exclusively publish on my blog entitled "Why Am I Optimistic" (replete with data, docs and excel files and, funny enough, all attached to a single email entitled "answer to the daggers") within which he made a very measured and sensible analysis of the housing market and some predictions that, looking back at them now, were pretty darn accurate particularly with respect to the Boston market in which we both lived.
Further, he was very encouraging of my development of Blytic.com (mothballed at this point... someday I'll get back to it), an early macro-econ data service very similar to (but pre-dating) the Fed Fred system and his feedback was very motivating and made a huge impression on me while I was in the throes of that endeavor.
When he retired in 2009, I was sad to learn that he had done so because he had unfortunately developed Parkinson's disease and really saddened to hear of his passing in 2016 at the way too young age of 69.
Dr Case was a great teacher and even though I never attended a single class of his at Wellesley, my interactions with him over those years leaves me with a sense of being very fortunate to have been one of his many students.
The following data visualization (click for dynamic view) shows the S&P Core Logic Case Shiller Home Price National Index since late-2006 with the index value (in blue) on the left axis and the year-over-year change (in red) and month-to-month change (in green) on the right axis.

The Neptune Beach Senior Center Needs Extensive Repairs
Posted on March 8, 2018 by theislandtimesfl	Leave a comment
City looking at options for a temporary home.
The Neptune Beach Senior Center is in need of extensive repairs, and the building may be condemned, forcing the city to look for a temporary home for the center.
At the Neptune Beach Land use and Parks Committee meeting Wednesday morning, Director of Public Services Director Leon Smith said that when they began to look at the building, they found that the support studs in the north wall have completely rotted, and the building may not be able to reopen in April as had originally been planned.
City Manager Andy Hyatt said that the city has reached out to the owner of the former gym behind the former Kmart building, which is currently vacant, who said that the city could temporarily house the senior center in his facility. The city would have to make upgrades to the HVAC system and cover the cost of utilities while they use the building. But, Hyatt said, the discussions are very preliminary, and the sports complex is under a letter of intent with another client.
The committee also discussed the possibility of combining the senior center with the community center that will take the place of the former Girls Scout building in Jarboe park. But expanding the community center to a size that would accommodate the senior center would add significantly to the cost of that building
The issue was also discussed at the finance committee Wednesday afternoon. At that meeting, it was pointed out that the senior center is also a voting precinct, and if it was unusable, the Supervisor of Elections would need to be notified, and another polling place would have to be found.

With all the stresses of life, why wouldn't you want to read a fun loving story about a Rag Doll and Broom getting married!!
At the bottom of the article, feel free to list any sources that support your changes, so that we can fully understand their context. But no, apparently I don't like him. Great read aloud books for children and others.

Carl Sandburg's irrepressible, zany, and completely original Rootabaga Stories and More Rootabaga Stories will stand alone on children's bookshelves–when they aren't in children's hands. I found it stressful to read the stories, because it was kinda difficult to understand them. Books by Carl Sandburg. Sandburg provides both visual and auditory description with musical, repetitious phrases and novel juxtaposition of words "a daughter who is a dancing shaft of light on the ax handles of morning".
But these aren't fairy tales, or even stories. If I think of other nonsense stories, such as Alice in Wonderland, or Edward Lear or even Boris Vian I ponder at how tricky it is to not fall into over fantastic. It's that strong midwestern voice, reminiscent of a painting by John Stuart Curry or Thomas Hart Benton that saves this book from oblivion.
Characters in this fanciful world are equally peculiar: Your contribution may be further edited by our staff, and its publication is subject to our final approval. Some of the stories I wouldn't want to read to a young sajdburg with content like someone sentenced to be hung on the gallows or people dying in a train wreck, but some are particularly sweet and all are colorfully creative.
Carl August Sandburg was an American writer and editor, best known for his poetry. Rootabaaga remember loving his illustrations for Narnia, but I haven't seem them since I was eight. Caro Sandburg's language is delightful, inventive and funny, his characters are flat, enlivened only by Maud and Miska Petersham's charming illustrations. The images are colorful and bizarre and we'd often pause in reading the story to check out the details.
I welcome dialogue with teachers. However, I found that they lacked the charm of European fairy tales.

Sandburg was every bit as good an author of children's stories as he was a poet or a biographer. Carl SandburgAmerican poet, historian, novelist, and folklorist. They do indeed sound surpassingly odd to modern ears, since they play with a rural America long gone, a midwestern America mostly de-populated and a richness of language that rolls off the tongue like old port.
Unlike traditional fairy tales, they have no perfect princesses and evil witches.
Still, we read this book in small bites, usually one short story each n This is a very sqndburg collection of short stories. It's prose poetry on the theme of children's stories, by an author known for his way with words and brawny, muscular use of American folk idiom as poetry.
Thank you for your feedback. Oct 16, Richard Thompson rated it liked it Shelves: The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica. Rootabaga Stories storiees like an amalgamation of mad libs, Dr.
There are no discussion topics on this book yet. These are something a little less than stories, a little more than literary nonsense. Want to Read saving…. I loved the lyrical language, but I really wasn't a big fan of the nonsensical words or the repetition.

The South's Grandest Theatre
Designed by Emile Weil, the Saenger Theatre was built by Julian Saenger in 1927 for the theretofore unheard of price of $2.5 million dollars. Advertisements of the day described it as "an acre of seats in a garden of Florentine splendor". Today, the interior atmospheric design creates a magnificent 15th century Italian courtyard and gardens, with arched surroundings, columns and decorative moldings. The suspension of disbelief is completed by a blue domed "sky" ceiling complete with twinkling stars. Greek and Roman statuary line the walls and statues of Venus stand on pedestals along the upper rim of the auditorium.
Determined Spirit
In 2005, the Saenger Theatre was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Yet within months of the storm, a groundswell of interest in the renovation and reopening of the theatre began to grow, and, in December 2011; the agreements to restore the theatre were finalized.
The $53 million project serves to anchor the revitalization of Canal Street and the New Orleans Central Business District and act as an economic generator attracting visitors from New Orleans and the Gulf South region to enjoy the very finest live entertainment available.
The Saenger Theatre reopened its doors in September 2013.
The Saenger Theatre restoration was a National Rehabilitation Tax Credit project, whose scope of construction served to authentically restore this historic 1927 movie palace, and transform it into a first class state-of-the-art performing arts theatre.
The restored Saenger Theatre features beautifully restored lobbies and auditorium seating area with carpeting and lighting fixtures recreated from the originals. Expanded restrooms and concessions facilities ensure the greatest comfort for our patrons.
The expanded theatre stage house will be equipped with state-of-the-art theatrical systems ensuring the Saenger will be the most technically advanced theatre in the South.

Ms Holm tells us about her successful treatment of chronic stomach lining inflamation due to H. pylori using Bentomed and Bentovital.
It was found that I have a chronic stomach lining infection caused by Helicobacter pylori. After the triple-treatment that I underwent in the fall did nothing to help, and I was being prescribed with even more powerful anti-biotics (I was actually afraid of the possible side effects, among them negative effects on the brain, hallucinations, shedding skin, shortness of breath…and a lot more!) I decided not to take them.
Coming across Bentomed was an answer to my prayers. I've been doing the short-term treatment strictly since the middle of January (3 - 1 - 3 - 4, Bentovital, 3 - 1 - 3, etc.).
The thick white coating that I had on my tongue was much reduced – "my" dental hygienist made me aware of this in the fall. As I was visiting my dentist again today for a professional cleaning and I met with the hygienist, she let me know that the amount of coating on my tongue was already almost normal. Next time I go to the dentist in the fall, it'll be gone for sure! She also said that I have beautiful gums! In the past, they only looked okay according to the dentist, but this time she called them beautiful! That can only be due to using Bentomed.
She is very open to natural healing methods and so I told her about fangocur and Bentomed, and she made a note of everything right away as she also is in contact with people who suffer with gastritis and related conditions – she wants to tell them about fangocur.
The best way to learn about things is through personal experience!


TattooRunner: My name is Mat and I no longer want to be a Clydesdale!
My name is Mat and I no longer want to be a Clydesdale!
Well this post is to be brutally honest! As most of you know, I run, alot, however always trying to go further. Last week was a good one, 115km. Even so, since I have taken up long distance running a few years back, I have never really felt like a runner because of my weight. Probably sounds weird to those non-runners, but to those who run, and know what a difference a few kg's can make would understand! It seems like a constant effort to shed a few kgs in fat to become leaner and leaner!
Since moving to Bundy three years ago, I have lost around 12-14kgs (I used to be really into weight lifting!). Recently though I seem to be hovering around 88-92kgs, depending on the day, food intake etc. After reading 'Racing Weight', I realized just how much of a 'clydesdale'/fatty runner I am (a term generally used for runners over 90kg)! WAY TOO HEAVY!!!
So for some time, I have wanted to get down to 80kg...and after reading the above mentioned book realized that closer to 75kg would be optimal! I know that this may sound like a large loss, but I KNOW it would benefit me in so many ways, health wise, running wise and overall living wise. I seem to constantly struggle with overeating and eating junk in big spurts...not good for my health or my running! NO MORE!
So here is the plan....over the next 12weeks (the amount of time until my next 100km race) I want to get my weight under 80kg's. This would be an awesome starting point and something I really want to achieve. The problem I have had as of late is maintaining things. So, no more! This is my public declaration to do it, and stay committed! I will need your help as you all probably know, weight loss is not easy! So, through my blog, a food journel and the help of my friends, family and fellow weight loss partner, Mandy, I WILL get there! Weigh ins will be Fridays and Mondays.
That is all on this point, apart from the beginning...91.2kg (stupid body fat measure wouldnt work!). Oh, and if anyone wants to join me on my 12week jaunt, feel free!!! Journeys are always funner together!
As a side note and update on the change in running form...my Merrells (minimal shoes) are going well. I am up to running 6km in them and have started running barefoot again also...slowly building. My calfs have been quite sore since taking up the minimal running and I have some 'rub' points as I am going sockless, but know it is all part of the process. Slowly does it!
Hey best of luck with that Matt, just don't lose too much too quickly. If you're going to be training hard you'll need the energy. I did the same as you about 3 years ago and did it by reducing fat in my diet and avoiding those delicious snacks between meals!! Also the 5 meals a day works well provided you're eating the right stuff.
If you're doing 100+kms a week and eating well the weight will have to come off. I wouldn't get too set on a set figure as I came from 97kg to 84kg and now to 82kg but no matter what I do, the only way that is going lower is by starvation or amputation! Keep strong first.

Gingerbread Cookie Swap Holiday Party Invitations - Cookie Swap Holiday Party Invitations with holiday cookies, gingerbread man inspired mostly and gingerbread houses. These Cookie Swap Christmas Party Invitations are perfect for any holiday event that may include these sweet treats!
The origins of gingerbread can be traced to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians who used it for ceremonial purposes. In the 11th-century crusaders brought the spice back from the Middle East to Europe for the rich folks' cooks to experiment with. An early European recipe consisted of ground almonds, stale breadcrumbs, rosewater, sugar and, naturally, ginger. The resultant paste was pressed into wooden molds . These carved works of art served as a sort of story board that told the news of the day, bearing the likeness of new kings, emperors and queens, or religious symbols. The finished cookie might be decorated with edible gold paint (for those who could afford it) or flat white icing to bring out the details in relief.
In the 16th century, the English replaced the breadcrumbs with flour, and added eggs and sweeteners, resulting in a lighter product. The first gingerbread man is credited to Queen Elizabeth I, who knocked the socks off visiting dignitaries by presenting them with one baked in their own likeness. Gingerbread tied with ribbon was popular at fairs and, when exchanged, became a token of love.
Today gingerbread is a baked sweet containing ginger and sometimes cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom and anise, and sweetened with any combination of brown sugar, molasses, light or dark corn syrup, or honey.
Gingerbread also can be a dark, spicy cake like Polish piernik , or an American version served, sometimes, with lemon glaze, or the lighter French pain d'epices. The third form gingerbread takes today is in a house-shaped confection made with a variation of gingerbread cookie dough.The gingerbread house became popular in Germany after the Brothers Grimm published their fariy tale collection which included "Hansel and Gretel" in the 19th century. Early German settlers brought this lebkuchenhaeusle - gingerbread house - tradition to the Americas.

Position the racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, salt and pepper through a wire sieve into a medium bowl. Set aside.
To roll out the cookies, work with one disk at a time, keeping the other disk refrigerated. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature until just warm enough to roll out without cracking, about 10 minutes. (If the dough has been chilled for longer than 3 hours, it may need a few more minutes.) Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle the top of the dough with flour. Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick, being sure that the dough isn't sticking to the work surface (run a long meal spatula or knife under the dough occasionally just to be sure, and dust the surface with more flour, if needed). For softer cookies, roll out slightly thicker. Using cookie cutters, cut out the cookies and transfer to nonstick cookie sheets, placing the cookies 1 inch apart. Gently knead the scraps together and form into another disk. Wrap and chill for 5 minutes before rolling out again to cut out more cookies.
Make ahead: The icing can prepared up to 2 days ahead, stored in an airtight container with a moist paper towel pressed directly on the icing surface, and refrigerated.
This icing hardens into shiny white lines, and is used for piping decorations on gingerbread people or other cookies. Traditional royal icing uses raw egg whites, but I prefer dried egg-white powder, available at most supermarkets, to avoid any concern about uncooked egg whites.
When using a pastry bag, practice your decorating skills before you ice the cookies. Just do a few trial runs to get the feel of the icing and the bag, piping the icing onto aluminum foil or wax paper. If you work quickly, you can use a metal spatula to scrape the test icing back into the batch.
Dried egg-white powder is also available. Meringue powder, which is dehydrated egg whites with sugar already added, also makes excellent royal icing; just follow the directions on the package. However, the plain unsweetened dried egg whites are more versatile, as they can be used in savory dishes, too.
To pipe line decorations, use a pastry bag fitted with a tube with a small writing tip about 1/8-inch wide. It may be too difficult to squeeze the icing out of smaller tips. If necessary, thin the icing with a little warm water. To fill the pastry bag, fit it with the tube. Fold the top of the bag back to form a cuff and hold it in one hand. (Or, place the bag in a tall glass and fold the top back to form a cuff.) Using a rubber spatula, scoop the icing into the bag. Unfold the cuff and twist the top of the bag closed. Squeeze the icing down to fill the tube. Always practice first on a sheet of wax paper or aluminum foil to check the flow and consistency of the icing.
Traditional Royal Icing: Substitute 3 large egg whites for the powder and water.

Q: Rails/Heroku: how to let our users email photos to their account on our app? I need to give users a way to send photos (or videos) to their own account on our rails 3 app, which runs on Heroku.
Since we're on Heroku (no local storage), the photo (or video) needs to get saved to our S3 account. And of course we need to be able to support a unique private address for each user so we know which account the incoming photo is for.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! I was looking at the CloudMailIn addon for Heroku, but they just give a single email address so not sure how to gove each of our users their own unique inbox address.

A: Use cloudmailin - it's perfect for exactly what you want.
You already know your users email address so if they send an email to uploads@yourcompany.com then the 'from' address identifies the user so you'll know who sent it, no need to give them a special email address each - plus you can reject it if the email is from someone you don't recognise.
Cloudmailin handles all of the email side of things and the smtp stuff and then simply does a 'post' into your application passing (to an email you specify) in the message etc you can on some of the plans even have cloudmailin put the attachments straight onto S3 for you

A: Just an idea

*

*use google apps (when you manage your own domain name, btw might be a good idea to use separate domain name for upload by email) or your own provider, as long at you have big mailboxes + catch all address support.

*catch all account i.e. uploads@uploads-company.com, that will receive mail from all users

*use user-email-token@uploads-company.com where user-email-token is a unique and hard to guess (user gets it by visiting his/her account page) thing that connects this email to the user in your system

Implementation basics

*

*user sends email to a special email address

*custom worker that knows how to read emails (periodically, imap/pop), extract attachments, and upload them to Amazon S3 + knows which email token belongs to which user

*use delayed_job to take care of the process (http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/delayed-job)

*might use /app/tmp folder on heroku as a temporary storage before uploading to S3 (size is limited, might not work well for big videos)

34, 35 Numerous studies have shown that this technique is an excellent tool for the detection of advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis, but the results for the prediction of different stages of moderate fibrosis are less conclusive. This technique has the advantage of being noninvasive, http://www.selleckchem.com/products/abc294640.html safe, reproducible, and rapid (it can be performed in less than 10 minutes). However, its interpretation has been recently questioned because liver stiffness measurements have been found
to be impossible to interpret in nearly one of five cases. The main reasons are obesity and limited operator experience.36 Three recent studies have evaluated the relationship between the liver stiffness values and the HVPG in patients with viral or alcoholic cirrhosis, including patients with asymptomatic or compensated cirrhosis.37-39 In these studies, the authors also evaluated whether liver stiffness measurements could predict severe portal hypertension with an HVPG above 10 to 12 mm Hg. A significant correlation was found between the liver stiffness and HVPG whatever the cause of cirrhosis was; the correlation was excellent in patients with HVPG values between 5 and 10 or 12 mm Hg and less strong in patients with an HVPG value above 10 or 12 mm Hg.37 Moreover, in selected patients with variceal bleeding, liver stiffness did not diagnose patients with an HVPG above 20 mm Hg.40 These results suggest that Proteasome inhibitor the extent of
hepatic fibrosis plays a major role in the development of moderate portal hypertension
and has less effect in patients with severe portal hypertension. The receiver operating characteristic curve for the diagnosis of severe portal hypertension ranges from 0.76 to 0.92 with a cutoff of 13.6 to 34.9 kPa.37, 39 In addition, liver biopsy, transient elastography, and HVPG measurements have been performed in patients with recurrent hepatitis C after liver transplantation.41, 42 Both studies found a significant correlation between the two measurements with a 0.93 receiver operating characteristic curve this website for the prediction of severe portal hypertension, which was also correlated with the progression of recurrent liver disease. Although liver stiffness measurement is a new, noninvasive approach for assessing hepatic fibrosis, results also suggest that it may be useful for determining the presence and degree of portal hypertension and particularly for screening patients with severe portal hypertension at risk of developing esophageal varices and other complications. However, more studies are needed in large groups of patients to confirm these findings. There are other, more complex noninvasive markers of hepatic fibrosis. For example, magnetic resonance elastography of the liver and spleen has recently been proposed.43 This method involves evaluating the mechanical properties of soft tissue through the assessment of liver stiffness with MRI.


"This is Burma and it is quite unlike any land you know about."
Myanmar? Where the hell is it? That were the kind of questions that friends asked me, when I told them, that I will go to Myanmar. It is a very unknown country in Germany and I think in a lot of other countries too. Myanmar is one of the largest countries in South East Asia, stretching over 2,000 km from North to South. It is twice the size of Vietnam, over a quarter larger than Thailand, and Myanmar is bigger than England and France combined.
Myanmar is easy to reach, if you take the short flight from Bangkok, and it has some unbelieveable sights and incredibly friendly people. On the other hand, the brutal Military Government has cut the contact with the late 20th century for a long time, and so it is one of the least Western-influenced countries in the whole world. Many people mistake this for quaintness, but don't let this blind you to the political realities that created this situation.

With every organization it is important that there is control over who enters the building. In addition, it may be necessary for permissions to be made for specific employees, visitors or suppliers for different zones, areas or doors. These persons can gain access to the building or zones by, for example, offering a card to a card reader.
Detailed reports can also be drawn up with software so that you can see who has accessed where and when.
