How to migrate to new AMI with SLES 11 SP4.
I am in prev version and got the notification about availability of new AMI.
Is there a simple upgrade step or i need to create a new instance with new AMI and do full migrate.
Because the upgrade is in the OS, it is hard to provide an upgrade without some risk.
So, it is better to start a new instance from the new AWS Marketplace AMI and use the new instance. It is much better from risk point of view.


Thailand may break its automobile export record by delivering 1.16-1.22 million vehicles to other countries this year, according to the Kasikorn Research Centre (KRC). Kasikorn predicts that auto exports can rise 6-11 per cent from Thailand's auto export volume of 1.09 million vehicles last year.
Statistics show that during the first four months of this year, Thailand exported about 357,000 vehicles, rising by 1.5 per cent year-on-year. KRC attributes the increase to investors' persistent confidence in Thailand and other positive factors including Thailand's expansion of its export-oriented automobile production, the global economic recovery, the baht depreciation and new markets like North America.
The centre predicts that exports of passenger cars will grow faster than that of commercial vehicles thanks to new markets. Australia, the Philippines and the Middle East region will continue to be the main markets where the export will grow well. Some emerging markets like New Zealand, the United States, the CLMV group (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam), and Peru are likely to support Thai automobile exports in the future. Kasikorn warned that Thailand's export of passenger cars to Indonesia and Malaysia dropped significantly as investment in vehicle production rose in these countries.

You've probably heard the story of the Tortoise and the Hare, of how Tortoise won the race by going "slow and steady" all the way. But I'll bet you haven't heard what happened next.
It all started a day after that famous race. Tortoise was still celebrating. He was now wearing his racing uniform round-the-clock - even when he went to sleep! He was showing off his racing skills to all he met, whether or not they wanted to watch.
But after awhile, Tortoise's friends at school, including Hare, got very tired of Tortoise's bragging and agreed that something just had to be done. "I'll talk to him," said Hare. "He may just listen to reason."
So Hare stepped out into the school hallway, lined with big red lockers on each side. It was there that Hare spied Tortoise showing off his newly-prized collection of sweatbands in a large blue velvet case to a gathering audience.
Hare worked his way through the crowd and up to Tortoise. "Tortoise we have got to talk," Hare said. "It's very important."
"Oh Hare, the loser! Let's get ready to 'repeat the feat'. I've entered the sprint in the Woodland Olympics. Get ready to lose again!" he said and returned smugly to his collection.
Hare threw up his paws. "Aaahhh! He just doesn't understand!"
Racoon had been looking at the Olympic Schedule and drew back. "Nobody from our school has entered the Three-Legged Race and it's in two days! How will we find two racers to enter?"
"I have an idea," said Fox. "Hare, why don't you and Tortoise enter it together! That way you'll have to work together. But don't tell Tortoise until the big day. Otherwise, he'll never agree."
When the day of the Three-Legged Race arrived, Hare was ready. He had practiced running three-legged races with his family and had gotten quite good. Tortoise still didn't know he had been signed up.
"Come on Tortoise!" called Hare. "It's time for the Three-Legged Race and you're in it!" Before Tortoise could say anything, he and Hare were fastened together at the ankles with a big bow. Tortoise frowned down at the race track, and then up at all the cheering fans in the stands. "I can't race with you!" he scowled.
But Hare had already taken two steps... CLUNK!!! They had fallen. "You lost the last race... THUD!!!" They fell again. After a few more tries, Hare made his move.
"Listen Tortoise..." THUD!! He kept trying to convince Tortoise from where they lay in a tangled heap on the ground. "There are two blue ribbons over at that finish line waiting for us. To get to them we have to work together."
Tortoise gazed across the race track to the finish line. "Well.... OK," he finally agreed.
They got up together. The crowd cheered!!! "Go Tortoise and Hare!" Tortoise took a step... then Hare did... then Tortoise and Hare together... step... step... together... they had it! Soon, they began passing the other racers, faster and faster... until they hit the FINISH LINE!!! The crowd roared as Tortoise and Hare were awarded shiny blue first place ribbons.
"Let's go to the pizza shop!" cried Tortoise to his pal. The two gathered their friends and off they went to celebrate together.
Monterey wrote this in the 5th grade when she was 11 years old. She was a 24-weeker, weighed 1 lb. 9 oz. at birth.

In the second volume, the story continues: from reading the highly-praised first volume, all soccer fans know that it was Storm, a young boy, who invented soccer. Now Storm has to pass a difficult test in order to become a real Viking. With the help of two giant birds, he travels up to the highest mountains – and who does he meet there? The true gods of soccer!

Sodium: How to tame your salt habit now
Find out how much sodium you really need, what high-sodium foods to avoid, and ways to prepare and serve foods without adding salt or sodium.
By Mayo Clinic staff
You've been trying to eat less sodium — just a pinch of table salt on your baked potato and a dash on your scrambled eggs. But a pinch here and a dash there can quickly add up to unhealthy levels of sodium. Consider that just one teaspoon of table salt has 2,325 milligrams (mg) of sodium. And it's not just table salt you have to worry about. Many processed and prepared foods already contain lots of sodium — and it's these foods that contribute the most sodium to your diet.
If you're like many people, you're getting far more sodium than is recommended, and that could lead to serious health problems. See how sodium sneaks into your diet and ways you can shake the habit.
Sodium: Essential in small amounts
Your body needs some sodium to function properly because it:
Helps maintain the right balance of fluids in your body
Helps transmit nerve impulses
Influences the contraction and relaxation of muscles
Your kidneys naturally balance the amount of sodium stored in your body for optimal health. When your sodium levels are low, your kidneys essentially hold on to the sodium. When sodium levels are high, your kidneys excrete the excess in urine.
But if for some reason your kidneys can't eliminate enough sodium, the sodium starts to accumulate in your blood. Because sodium attracts and holds water, your blood volume increases. Increased blood volume makes your heart work harder to move more blood through your blood vessels, which increases pressure in your arteries. Such diseases as congestive heart failure, cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease can make it hard for your kidneys to keep sodium levels balanced.
Some people's bodies are more sensitive to the effects of sodium than are others. If you're sodium sensitive, you retain sodium more easily, leading to fluid retention and increased blood pressure. If this becomes chronic, it can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and congestive heart failure.
Sodium: How much do you need?
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting sodium to less than 2,300 mg a day — or 1,500 mg if you're age 51 or older, or if you are black, or if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney disease.
Keep in mind that these are upper limits, and less is usually best, especially if you're sensitive to the effects of sodium. If you aren't sure how much sodium your diet should include, talk to your doctor.
Sodium: Main dietary sources
The average American gets about 3,400 mg of sodium a day — much more than recommended. To help keep your sodium consumption in check, you need to know where the sodium comes from. Here are the main sources of sodium in a typical diet:
Processed and prepared foods. The vast majority of sodium in the typical American diet comes from foods that are processed and prepared. These foods are typically high in salt, which is a combination of sodium and chloride, and in additives that contain sodium. Processed foods include bread, prepared dinners like pasta, meat and egg dishes, pizza, cold cuts and bacon, cheese, soups, and fast foods.
Natural sources. Some foods naturally contain sodium. These include all vegetables and dairy products such as milk, meat and shellfish. While they don't have an abundance of sodium, eating these foods does add to your overall sodium intake. For example, 1 cup (237 milliliters) of low-fat milk has about 107 mg of sodium.
In the kitchen and at the table. Many recipes call for salt, and many people also salt their food at the table. Condiments may also contain sodium. One tablespoon (15 milliliters) of soy sauce, for example, has about 1,000 mg of sodium.

The Quint's Travelers Inn opened its doors in 2010. The Inn has five shareholders who decided on the name because 'quintus' means 'fifth' in Latin.
The Quint's Travelers Inn is centrally located at the Corriweg, also known as the 'Weg naar Brievengat'. The airport is located at 11 km and the capital Willemstad at 6 km. There is a 'toko' – a small shop – across the street of the Inn and 1 km down the road you can find a supermarket. Seaquarium Beach is the nearest beach which is about a 15 minute drive away and in 15 minutes you will also reach the 'Weg naar Westpunt', which leads to all the beautiful bays at the southwest coast of the island.
The Inn consists of 9 studios all situated on the second floor of a small shopping center. The buildings are located on a small square, are brightly colored and surrounded by palm trees. The whole area is enclosed and secured with camera surveillance. The accommodations vary from double to quadruple studios and are all very stylish. They have a full-equipped kitchen, the bathrooms have warm water and the Inn provides daily housekeeping. Behind the reception on the ground floor, you will find a swimming pool, a small sundeck with sunbeds, a BBQ area and some tables and chairs for common use.
This accommodation has a great price quality ratio and as their most memorable review states: "Quint's Travelers Inn is modern, very clean and ideal for those who want to meet all beaches of Curacaos".


frequent come up and so on.
Shouldn't you be asking this question on a reprap forum rather than an Arduino forum?
I've never built a reprap before but my friend told me that it takes A LOT of time, and his advice was if you're building a rep rap its because you want to learn how it works more so then just 3D printing haha. Basically I was told they stuff up a lot, getting heating to work appropriately and to a perfect amount is probably the biggest part for the plastic and not getting stuck in the extruder? I have heard a lot of people trying to make a rep rap with an arduino before though so you might be able to just find the programming already built. Unfortunately this is all stuff I've heard though so not sure how hard it will be to do. Honestly I really want one but I'd probably just buy a complete kit, mostly as I want to learn, but I'm also lazy :p haha.
It is nearly impossible to read emotion into text, a study was done that showed that people -thought- they were 90% accurate at reading intent into emails, when in fact they are 50%.
So I'll state as clearly as I can: this is said without sarcasm, and with lack of malice.
You have just told everyone in the forum that you are lazy. You want someone to give you the code already written for an Arduino to run a RepRap. But you've not even done enough research to know that RepRaps are almost without exception run by Arduinos, and that the complete code is freely available. And you have not even tried typing "RepRap" into a search engine, or you'd know this already.
You received a critical piece of advice, and completely ignored it, told us you want all the work done for you, and that you'll probably just buy a kit, anyway.
No one here is paid for their time. We help other people because we're paying it forward, expect others to do likewise, and because we expect help in return.
Again, complete lack of sarcasm, no malice.
Hi, I don't mean this with sarcasm or malice either but I AM NOT THE POSTER, I do not currently (maybe one day but not now) want the arduino code or reprap at the moment or anything else about it. I was just saying about what a friend told me about a reprap and thought it might help the poster (the person who does want the reprap). I did not ask for any advice so I didn't really ignore any of it.
On a side note the study about emotion in text was pretty interesting though, something I definitely should remember especially when posting online and in a lot of my text messages as well.
haha thats funny, but true, I tried reading my post as if I also mistook it as the poster and it sounds completely different then I intended it too that way. But you did post links, so at least still helpful!!
I think to get a proper solution of your hurdle in your working project so, you can't to atain a patent company in china with name of Rp Prototype really to debugging your problems that you see in your project.
All the words are English but I have no idea what it is intended to mean.
"Buy my stuff", I think.
The extruder is the biggest problem. Getting it to work correctly is hard. After that the software that generates the instructions from the 3D model only really works on a PC. I have found it impossible to get good Mac based software.
Over on the RepRap forum they told me that without learning Python for two years I did not deserve to run a 3D printer.
Does "the software that generates..." mean such things as slic3r that convert 3D models into GCode or have you a wider meaning?
Does "PC" mean anything that is not a Mac, or does it just mean Windows devices?
I am asking in case I am deceiving myself about what's available - I'm using Ubuntu Linux, and the Mac OS is not a whole lot different from that (apart from the on-screen appearance).
Basically I was not looking at the widows stuff but any Linux type stuff simply did not run on the Mac. That was mainly Python scripts. they either would not run or needed dependances that would not load or install.
Not so much a typo but more of the iPad being "helpful" and correcting what you write.

REVEALED: How Agnes Fest will spend $25k funding boost
The Agnes Blues Roots and Rock Festival.
Eilish Massie
AGNES Blues, Roots and Rock Festival goers can expect a line-up of more artists next year, thanks to a recent $25k funding boost.
The popular 1770 festival recently got a share of $24,000 plus $1000 in-kind from Gladstone Regional Council's Community Development Fund.
Event manager Sharon Hare said the funding would go towards lifting the festival's visual appeal, hiring more emerging artists, implementing additional stage infrastructure and promoting the festival.
The Discovery Stage, which was introduced at this year's festival, will have additional shade and seating for next year's event.
Ms Hare said organisers were very interested in introducing a newer element to the festival.
"We'll have this whole other area where emerging artists would perform," Ms Hare said.
Punters can expect additional seating and shade at the Discovery Stage, an area which was introduced at this year's festival.
Ms Hare said organisers were currently in negotiations booking new artists for the three-day festival.
"We're very much interested in supporting Central Queensland performers to reach new audiences and to have this experience," she said.
8 Ball Aitken will return to the festival for the seventh time.
Currently, next year's festival line-up includes 8 Ball Aitken, Hayley Marsten and Hat Fitz & Cara who will all play at the Marquee Stage.
Ms Hare said the event was expected to hit full capacity.
"We are expecting to hit the mark for what we usually get," she said.
"The town gets fully booked out during this time, we're expecting a good crowd."
Ms Hare said council's support for the event went a long way in boosting the region's art and music industry.
"We can try new things, and can help the region's arts," she said.
"These events are so important as they value performers who are getting paid for their work, which in light of the current climate is really important."

FedEx Freight Opens New Container Freight Station In Chicago
March 27 2014 08:15 AM
MEMPHIS, Tenn.-- FedEx Freight, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), will open a new container freight station in its Chicago Summit, Ill., facility to consolidate and sort freight bound for Puerto Rico, effective March 31.

"The container freight station in Chicago Summit is a key location in our network to better serve the needs of our customers," said Grant Crawford, vice president of International, FedEx Freight. "This more centralized location will help improve transits and rates for many Puerto Rico shipments."
The new Chicago container freight station is part of a network of more than 360 FedEx Freight service centers across North America.
Freight bound for Puerto Rico was previously processed at the FedEx Freight facility in Newark, N.J.

Migraines are nasty, intense throbbing pains in your head commonly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. A World Health Organization report described migraine as one of the four most disabling chronic medical disorders. Migraines are disabling but they can also take everything from you, your work, family life and even your own life. Individuals who suffer migraines are 2 to 3 times more likely to suffer a stroke or heart attack, a review of 21 different studies published in the American Journal of Medicine now confirms this connection.
Most individuals do not see migraines as the serious systemic disorder that they are. Most sufferers and doctors focus only on symptomatic relief of the headaches; however the headache is just one manifestation of this serious brain health problem. It is vital that individuals who suffer from migraines find a doctor who understands and treats the underlying brain health issues and not just suppress the pain with drugs.
Recent studies have established the underlying cause of these disabling conditions; scientists call it glutamate mediated neuronal excitoxicity. Simply this means that a neurotransmitter or brain messenger called glutamate is at high enough levels to be toxic to the neurons in your brain. This causes too much excitement in the wrong place at the wrong time, leading to a migraine attack. Therefore, the symptoms we refer to as a migraine headache are the signs that the brain is suffering from this excitoxicity.
Here's what happens inside your brain during a migraine attack. Neurons experience low levels of ionic magnesium along with high levels of glutamate in the synapse causing them to become very excited. Just as in many other chronic brain health issues there is also a reduced production of energy in the nerve cell. This all leads to an uncontrolled spreading wave of brain hyperactivity causing flashing lights, arterial dilation, pain, nausea and other symptoms. Interestingly, this exact same mechanism occurs in many other neurological disorders. This is why migraine sufferers are also more prone to anxiety, panic attacks, depression, seizures, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
The good news is that there are simple natural solutions to these killer headaches. You can not only prevent and stop migraines, but you can greatly reduce your risks for these other serious disorders as well. These natural solutions can also reduce your risk for heart attack and stroke!
First understand that the devastating symptoms of a migraine are like the red check engine light on your dashboard telling you something's wrong with your engine. Disconnecting or covering up the light with a piece of black tape will do nothing to determine the underlying reason the light is on. Neither are pain reducing drugs with their dangerous side-effects a good approach to curing or reducing these brain health issues.
First you will need to determine your cellular levels of magnesium. Having a lab test known as a red blood cell magnesium done is the best way to determine if you have a magnesium deficiency at the cell level. Different factors can affect brain levels of magnesium such as diets high in sugar and low in magnesium. Intestinal mal-absorption can also affect levels of this and other vital minerals for your body's health. In dealing with magnesium deficiency it is important to know that many individuals are sensitive to magnesium, and thus can develop digestive symptoms from it. Therefore just taking over the counter magnesium supplement may not be enough. These persons they may need to use a specialized form of magnesium to optimize absorption and thus, uptake into the brain cell.
Next you then need to greatly reduce your blood levels of glutamates along with reducing inflammation. Again, avoiding harsh drugs can also avoid harmful long-term side effects. Equally important is that any hidden food allergies should be identified through proper laboratory tests. Food allergies can lead to increased inflammation and glutamate levels.

The Ultimate Warrior Still Likes Wrestling Games (And Is Still Insane)
This makes us wish The Ultimate Warrior would visit our office.
Nick Leftley
If you're of a certain age, you'll remember The Ultimate Warrior as one of the most exciting things ever to hit the wrestling ring. An enormous, frenzied mass of neon muscle, he was terrible at both wrestling and promos, and yet somehow, he made both compulsive viewing. It's the latter talent that's gone down in Internet history, of course, with old videos of his many bafflingly insane monologues proving consistently popular on YouTube. While other wrestlers made sure to build up their opponent and hype the coming match, the Warrior simply screamed whatever came into his head at the camera – and what came into his head was usually taken from some snorting, malarial fever dream, in which he ascends to the level of God after being trampled by elephants. Or run over with a lawnmower. No, really:
Couple that berserker style with the popular myth that he actually died back in 1991 (as covered in this excellent Deadspin article), and you've got a recipe for cult infamy, a fact that the WWE are all too aware of. They've butted heads with the Warrior several times over the years (probably literally), normally over money disputes, but The Warrior – and that is his legal name; he legally changed it from Jim Hellwig back in the '90s – seems to have unscrambled his brains long enough to agree to be a part of WWE's upcoming video game, WWE 2K14. The Warrior will be a playable character for anyone who pre-orders the game on Xbox or PS3, which makes sense – the popularity of last year's WWE '13 was predicated almost entirely on the fact that it let you play through the Attitude Era with a roster of classic stars, so it's no surprise to see them dipping back into the nostalgia well for this year's entry.
The upshot of all this is that we now get a new commercial for the game, featuring the Warrior himself as he lays waste to "2K Headquarters." And if you were worried that the years may have made him slightly less crazy, rambling, and, yes, snorty, then friend, prepare to be un-worried. This is the Warrior as you (kinda) remember him, and it is glorious.

Dado carved in bas-relief (type 7a). The decoration is composed of two horizontal sections: the upper section consists of incised half-palmettes; the lower section consists of a sequence of interlaced trilobated arches. The arches, which enclose an incised vegetal motif, alternate with vertical motifs created by split-palmettes and fleur-de-lis.
The height of the only panel with known dimensions is 35 cm (incomplete), its width 40 cm; its thickness is unknown.
Most of the artifacts were found re-employed in the Ghazni area; one was excavated in the house of the luster wares in Ghazni (both excavation and surveys occurred in the late 1950s-1970s); another was first recorded in the Ghazni new storerooms in 2002.
This type might have been used as an architectural dado or as a tomb paneling. It differs from dadoes type 7 mainly for the presence of vegetal motifs between the arches.

Virus Bulletin :: VB2018 paper: Where have all the good hires gone?
We often hear about the cybersecurity skills gap being "an issue for all", creating "recuitment chaos", an "industry crisis", and indeed the difficulties organizations encounter in hiring information security professionals have been described as one of the biggest challenges IT leaders face today.
There is no doubt that such a problem exists, but is it because suitable applicants are somehow being excluded due to systemic problems? Or is there an actual lack of interest in a career in computer security? ESET's Lysa Myers believes that we, as an industry, should look to address both issues, and at VB2018 in Montreal she presented a paper in which she looked at some of ways in which we can do so: how we can address education problems, how we can encourage under-represented groups into the industry, how we can improve the overall image of computer security, do a better job of the hiring process and indeed, how we can retain talent.
You can read Lysa's paper in both HTML and PDF format. We have also uploaded the video of her VB2018 presentation to our YouTube channel.

Anyone have anymore information about this?? If true it would mean the end of the current one year visa system, plus grandiose new requirements on income and bank deposits.
Best reason to never ever deal with these clowns and deal with embassies.
Will this new visa still involve 90 day reporting?
So it will basically mean that instead of going to renew your annual Extension of Temporary Stay based on marriage every year, you just get the new 5 yr visa and do 90 day reports as normal for the 5 years.
I guess that there's a multiple reentry permit too, that allows you to come and go.
no biggie really, it just cuts out going to get your annual extension every year.
....with the same old local discretion. Varies.
Approval of a 10-year pact is not guaranteed.
Too many questions currently, but worth watching for any developements if it is factual.
Another article with a bit more information.

A bunch of arse I tell ya.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet extended to 10 years from one the long-stay visa for foreigners aged 50 or more.
However, they must report to immigration police every 90 days.
The visa will be valid initially for five years and could be renewed for another five, Col Apisit Chaiyanuwat, vice minister at the Prime Minister's Office, said.
The visa fee was set at 10,000 baht (20,000 rupees), he said.
Apart from the age requirement, the visa requires eligible foreigners to have a monthly salary of at least 100,000 baht or a bank deposit of at least 3 million baht, to be maintained for at least one year after receiving the visa.
Besides, they must have health insurance coverage for at least USD 1,000 for outpatient care and USD 10,000 or more for inpatient care per policy per year.
The revised rule aimed to promote medical and wellness tourism in line with the government's policy.
The target groups for the visa are long-stay visitors from India, Australia, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Taiwan and the United States, Apisit said.
What about New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Spain, Greece, South America and the umpteen other countries not mentioned?
They must also have health insurance that covers hospital stays and provides at least USD$10,000 in annual coverage.
So if you're un-insurable you're exempt? Or may be the first year you have insurance, but lose it thereafter, how do they keep a check on that?
Insurance bit is not clear but over a 10 year period cheaper and less hassle than annual extension for retirement. If/when it is offered I will switch.
Kind of sounds like it would only be applicable to Retirement extensions, not Marriage.
Certainly some contradictory information, like a 10 year visa that has to be renewed after 5 years?
A visa fee of 10,000 baht, which presumably would be charged again at the 5 year renewal, equates to 2,000 baht/year, a small increase on the current 1,900.
Were it not for an ever increasing amount of strange regulations that have been applied during the last two years, most would think this was a joke.
As Pragmatic pointed out, obtaining the requisite health insurance for many retirees would be impossible due to age barring that nearly all insurers apply. I guess that the government could introduce it's own insurance of course, for a suitably exorbitant fee.
Hopefully, Todd will be along soon with his take on all this.
OK by me. 1 day trip to Bangers for US Embassy income verification costs about 10k baht per year to do extension.
You are a braver Man than me.
The US is one of the countries whose embassy will issue an income verification letter solely on self declaration, unlike those like the UK whom require actual proof of income.
Please note they just approved the "rough draft" of this and there's nothing really hashed out as in how it will be implemented, how it will actually work AND there is no roll-out date either..
No article that I found mentions if this is sold as a multi-entry visa or not, nor did ANY article say if it's purchased inside the country at your thai immigration office OR outside the country at a Thai consulate.
Also no article mentions this is in ANY WAY replacing any type of existing yearly extension of stay (got inside the country at a thai immigration office) or any current visa type (gotten outside the country at a thai consulate).
They are very long on speculation and very short on how this is exactly going to be implemented.. It also doesn't mention if foreigners get this "visa" outside the country at a thai consulate BEFORE winging their way here, or get it inside the country at a local immigration office.
The thai related forums on the inter-web are rife with posers , err posters weighing in with their two satang's worth of dis-information.
Geesh! What a woman!...More moronic rhetoric with more fantasy increases in tourist number projection guesses?
5555 suspect well heeled tourists would balk at investing in Thai bank accounts and submit to proof of income requirements.
The people at thai immigration offices are a division of the Royal Thai Police, BUT all they can do is immigration related stuff.
ALL the thai consulates and thai embassies (which are interestly enough located OUTSIDE thailand ) are run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. While they may seem to you as autonomous they all follow the dictates of the MFA. That's why now all the "multi-entry visas" in the US (METV, year-long Multi-O's, B's, ED's, etc) are sold only at 4 places; New York, Chicago, LA, or Washington DC. The MFA put a stop to most of the honorary consulates scattered hither and yon around the US from selling anything but single entry visas.
This wasn't designed to boost tourist numbers, because as a rule "tourists" by their very definition, come here, TOUR around, then leave.
If true it would mean the end of the current one year visa system, plus grandiose new requirements on income and bank deposits.
You're making stuff up man.
No where in ANY of the articles does it say the current yearly extension of stay process would be canceled.
You're reading things into that vague, poorly written article that aren't spelled out.
And NO, no one has more information on this because it's just the thai powerz-that-b tooting their own drum, beating their own horn..
This all looks very similar to the Malaysian requirements which the Thais are using as a template since they find it difficult to come up with a true idea on their own.
It is easy to announce a complicated plan, but another thing to implement and maintain.
That reminds me of when you could get an extension here, with no show of money, based on support by a Thai child. 2006 was the year.
Then we had free government hospital treatment for farangs on long stay extensions. Both ill thought out and only lasting one year before being withdrawn.
Whatever happens I sincerely hope this does not cause many long time residents to lose their ability to stay here. Good luck to those whom may be affected.

All drivers must have held a full UK driving licence, applicable to the vehicle being driven at any given time, for at least 2 consecutive years immediately prior to inception.
A maximum of 4 named drivers, including the policyholder, is allowed.
I need to drive several vehicles - is a motor trade policy what I need?
Motor trade insurance is not a means to get cover on multiple vehicles. To qualify for a motor trade policy, you must be able to prove that you're operating a genuine, income-generating business, whether that's buying and selling used cars or performing a mobile repair service, for example. To discuss further, please call our office on 0333 370 7777. If you need to claim under your policy, you'll be expected to provide proof of trade in the form of audited accounts and receipts.
Do I need to tell you each time I acquire a vehicle?
Current legislation means that you need to keep the MID up to date with regard to vehicles you own or are likely to be in your custody for a certain length of time. You also need to remove vehicles from the MID as soon as you're no longer in possession of them. Our traders' insurance team will be able to help you regarding the MID and your responsibilities.
What is the motor insurers' database (MID)?
The Motor Insurance Database (MID) is a register of all vehicles insured and shows the identity of the relevant insurer. It is a legal requirement for motor trade policyholders to supply accurate and timely updates to the MID or face fines of up to £5,000.
Can I add vehicles to the MID by text message (SMS)?
Generally, this cannot be done across the industry. However, you can make MID changes using our smartphone app or through our online MID update portal easymid.co.uk.
I'm a part-time trader; can I still get traders' insurance?
Typically, you can get this with most insurers. We provide cover for both full-time and part-time motor traders.
Will I be covered to drive any vehicle?
Generally, taking out a traders' insurance policy doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be covered for this. Under our policy, you're covered to drive any vehicle either owned by you or any vehicle that is in your custody or control in connection with your motor trade business.
Can I cover motorcycles under a motor trade policy?
Some motor trade insurers may offer additional cover levels for motorcycles. We provide third party only cover for motorcycles under our motor trade policies. To arrange this please call us on 0800 023 7210.
Does my motor trade policy come with public liability insurance?
This typically wouldn't be included in a standard traders' insurance cover. But this can be purchased as an optional extra. Take a look at our public liability insurance.
Do you provide cover for younger drivers?
The majority of insurers won't provide cover for young drivers on trader's insurance policy. We offer a range of motor trade insurance solutions, but we don't provide cover for drivers under 25.
Want an even easier MID update tool?
Now you can add and remove vehicles from the MID with the UK's first fully functional app, available for both iPhone and Android.
Car insurance: We can give you a car insurance comparison quote. There's also optional No Claims Discount (NCD) protection available and a multi-car discount for insuring 3 or more vehicles.

Not a top HAQ by any stretch of the imagination, this watch has nevertheless delivered reasonable results for its vintage and may improve with an adjustment of its rate trimmer. Trimming all of my watches (especially the old, Twin Quartz series), however, is not high on my list of things to do. This space will be updated when there is something more interesting to report.


It was great to stop by and meet Leslie Thatcher at NPR Radio in Park City, Utah before our shows out west. Leslie was a great interviewer, and we don't say that about everyone. She couldn't ask for a better office as she has an amazing view of the ski mountains. Thank you for playing our music and letting folks know about Christmas with The Celts!


Menhaden is one of the Gulf's most monitored species, with catch data from every set going back to the 1970s, all of which has been voluntarily made public and available to the NMFS and the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.
His claim that menhaden stock assessments are inadequate because they are single-species assessments and fail to account for menhaden's ecological role is equally erroneous. The assessment did in fact account for predation mortality in its model. Ecosystem-based modeling is a buzzword in fisheries science today, and a goal toward which many in the field aspire. But the data to achieve such a goal and the protocols to conduct such assessments are still under development. There currently is no usable ecosystem assessment model for menhaden -- one does not exist. As a result, single species assessments remain the tried-and-true, best method to manage the species -- and the one that is currently utilized.
To refuse to acknowledge the value of a well-executed single species assessment, in lieu of a survey that does not exist, is the equivalent of refusing to drive a gasoline-powered car because you believe solar-powered vehicles would be better. They may well be -- but they do not exist.
Mr. Eicke implied the menhaden fishery has significant "bycatch" -- the catch of nontargeted species during the harvesting of menhaden. To the contrary, the GSMFC, the multistate management authority that regulates menhaden, and the National Marine Fisheries Service have found bycatch to be minimal. The GSMFC notes in their Gulf Menhaden Fact Sheet that the purse seine fishery for Gulf menhaden has a "negligible incidental catch of other species."
In an effort to further reduce bycatch, Omega Protein has worked extensively to improve its fishing practices. The company has spent millions of dollars on equipment such as fish excluder devices and installed metal "shark" guards that allow only smaller fish to be brought aboard, which has significantly reduced bycatch. Furthermore, Omega Protein has earned a sustainable seafood certification from Friend of the Sea. This third-party, international organization sets rigorous sustainability guidelines for fisheries, and Omega Protein has consistently exceeded these requirements in earning its certification.
Omega Protein already takes steps to ensure the health of the menhaden stock -- and as the evidence shows, these efforts have been extremely successful. Adding further regulation would simply be another needless regulation weighing down our fishermen.
Mr. Eicke appears to be just another angler telling fish tales.

Helsingborgs stadsvapen, som registrerades som kommunvapen hos PRV 11 januari 1974, antogs ursprungligen av Helsingborgs stadsfullmäktige 16 mars 1915, efter noggrann utredning och yttranden av riksheraldikern greve Adam Lewenhaupt, professorn i svensk arkitekturhistoria Sigurd Curman, riksarkivarien Bernhard Salin, riksantikvarien Emil Hildebrand, riksbibliotekarien E W Dahlgren och arkivarie Thiset i Riksarkivet i Köpenhamn. Beslut i stadsfullmäktige 4 mars 1937 och 19 mars 1946 samt kommunfullmäktige 25 mars 2009 (§48 Dnr 00060/2009) har även skett. Kungl majt fastställde 10 maj 1946.

Innan beslutet om att anta ett nytt stadsvapen 1915 använde Helsingborg ett stadsvapen som bygger på ett sigill från 1584.

Hollow density profiles occur in connection with pellet fuelling and L to H transitions. A positive density gradient could potentially stabilize the turbulence or change the relation between convective and diffusive fluxes, thereby reducing the turbulent transport of particles towards the center, making the fuelling scheme inefficient. In the present work, the particle transport driven by ITG/TE mode turbulence in regions of hollow density profiles is studied by fluid as well as gyrokinetic simulations. The fluid model used, an extended version of the Weiland transport model, Extended Drift Wave Model (EDWM), incorporates an arbitrary number of ion species in a multi-fluid description, and an extended wavelength spectrum. The fluid model, which is fast and hence suitable for use in predictive simulations, is compared to gyrokinetic simulations using the code GENE. Typical tokamak parameters are used based on the Cyclone Base Case. Parameter scans in key plasma parameters like plasma β, R/LT , and magnetic shear are investigated. It is found that β in particular has a stabilizing effect in the negative R/Ln region, both nonlinear GENE and EDWM show a decrease in inward flux for negative R/Ln and a change of direction from inward to outward for positive R/Ln . This might have serious consequences for pellet fuelling of high β plasmas.

In 1913, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth strapped light bulbs to the hands of the most efficient workers in a New England handkerchief factory and had them perform the menial tasks of their everyday routine.
The workers' movements were photographed on a camera's long exposure, and the trails of light were used to construct wire models that the less efficient employees could trace their hands over as a means of increasing productivity. The experimenters sought to determine the 'one best way' to perform a manual task by systematizing human hand movements into units of Therblig (Gilbreth spelt backwards). This, it was argued, would allow more time for leisure pursuits, measured in Happiness Minutes.
For this performance, a pianist with lights attached to his fingertips played Charles Ives' 1913 Concord Sonata — a groundbreaking work from the Modernist repertoire that explores musical discord and harmony — on a piano whose strings had been severed. All that could be heard was the dull thud of wood against felt, as the musician fingered his mute instrument and the camera recorded their ineffectual performance.
The final image was constructed by setting the camera's exposure to correspond to the duration of the performance, in this case the time it took the pianist to play Ives' sonata. The photograph was then separated out into its constituent colors to reveal the information recorded in each channel.

I came to Lethbridge to visit a friend in August 2007. When I left California, I was thinking of mostly farmlands and big open spaces. I was right. I was thinking there will not be any photo opportunities in this prairie Southern Alberta city, I was wrong. Lethbridge is a beautiful city with very friendly people. Lethbridge is a small city with several culture venues. The river valley coulee is beautiful natural attraction. The Indian Battle Park is an interesting urban nature center with the impressive High Level Bridge as one of it's attractions. On the west bank of the river coulee is the University of Lethbridge, on the east bank is the Helen Schuler Coulee Center. The city is also only one hour drive from the Canadian Rockies and 70 miles off the United States border to the south. The people has a lot of community pride.


It's the summer season, which for many people that means long hours on the road headed to the beach, countryside, the lake, amusement parks, and of course work. As you set out on your journey, know that the temperature outside has an effect on your car's fuel economy as does how you maintain the temperature inside your vehicle.
Hot weather in the summer heats up your engine more efficiently and faster. The hot air causes less aerodynamic resistance than cold air, and summer grades of gasoline can have slightly more energy. Unfortunately, keeping yourself and your passengers cool in the summer heat has the opposite effect on your vehicle's fuel economy.
The number one reason for reduced fuel economy in hot weather is running the air conditioning in your car. With hot temperatures this summer, the air conditioning can reduce your fuel economy up to 25%.
Replace/ tighten your gas cap; this Increases your fuel efficiency by up to 2% by making sure gas isn't evaporating through loose or old gas caps.
Park in the shade so your car doesn't get as hot.
Leave the windows open when you first start driving to clear hot air out of the cabin.
Roll the windows down at lower speeds, use the AC at highway speeds.
Don't use the AC more than needed or set the temperature lower than needed.
Don't idle with the AC running before driving, turn the AC on after you begin to drive or after airing out the cabin briefly. Most AC systems will cool the vehicle faster while driving.
We know must drivers must requirement during the summer is air conditioning. Start by airing your car out at low speeds. Once the car is finally aired out, turning your air conditioning on at highway speeds will help you be fuel efficient! Having the windows open increase the car's aerodynamic drag, and that makes the engine work harder, according to U.S. Department of Energy. Being comfortable, allows you to likely safer and focused on the road.
We hope these tips will help you save money and be more fuel efficient on the road this summer!

Hi guys! This is Prettyprogress23 aka Elizabeth here. Today I will talk about acne scarring and how toreally get rid of acne scars.For example , I've been using the Banish Line for a long time, so one of the biggest questions I get is does the Banish line actually work?
I've been using Banish for my acne scars for 6 1/2 months now so Ireally wanted to update you guys on how my skin has changed. I want to show a demo of the products I use too in my acne scar routine.
Before I use my Banish Products, I wipe off all my make up with my Face Halo wipe and then I went in with my Tribe Skin Care Cleanser so my face is very fresh.
The first thing I use is the Banish Dermaroller. * Update - the Banish Dermaroller has an updated Banisher 2.0 for fading acne scars faster! * During my 6 months using it, I took a break in May or April because I was going through a severe breakout, but during that time I use the Banisher Stamp Instead.
Step 1 Using the Banisher Dermaroller: Make sure that you disinfected the Banisher derma roller before use! I disinfected mine with Witch Hazel, but it's recommended to use at least 60% rubbing alcohol.
I have a spot of active acne, so I avoid that spot and I roll over the areas of hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is a type of acne scarring that happens from inflammation.
So I roll up in one direction, 4 times each.
I make sure that when I roll it, I pick it up each time instead ofaggressively rolling back and forth. So I roll in one direction and I'll do this on other areas of my skin too.
Andhonestly, this side, right, as you can see there's faint like little scars but it used to be so much worse than that.
It used to be very very very dark and after using the Banisher Dermaroller, it hasreally boosted the collagen in my skin and faded my acne scars. My skin is much more plump and the discoloration on my skin has faded so much.
So I continue doing 4 rolls in each direction on the place I have acne scars. So roll up 4 times, then diagionally 4 times, and horizontally 4 times. Other areas I use my Banisher dermaroller on is the nose and forehead. If I don't have scarring in an area, then I won't really use it there.
So I've been doing that at least once every 2 weeks and I can see every single month my skin is getting better and betterin terms of texture, plumpness - the hyper pigmentation is fading!
So that's pretty much what I do with the Banisher. After micro needling with the Banisher, you would want to use the Banish Oil.
The Banish Oil has lots and lots of vitamin c.. it's basically a vitamin c serum. It's clear so you know it isn't oxidized and is still effective because when vitamin c is mixed with water, it can start to degrade and turn rusty colored. So I'm going to use a few drops of that, rub it in my hand and pat it into my skin. Some people go overboard with vitamin c, but for me Ijust use a little bit causeI feel like there's so much in it and it covers most of my face.
After the Banish oil, I use my Vitamin C Creme for the extra hydration. I love the Vitamin C Creme. It goes onreallyreallysmoothly. Then I top it up with my Vitamin C Beauty Elixir which I love. Honestly, it's the best! Ijust spritz it all over my face and then it pretty much seals everything in and now my face is ready to heal.
So that's what I do every 2 weeks and it's made a lot of difference to my skin.
So my general night skincare routine for acne scars is I'll use the Banish Pumpkin Masque for hyperpigmentation. Itreally sheds all the old skin cells and then I'll cleanse so I use the Tribe Skin Care cleanser. After that is my derma rolling routine with Banish, after I apply my Banish Oil, then my Banish Vitamin C Creme which Iabsolutely adore and after that, I spray with the Beauty Elixir. It's best to just go to bed or use it when you're done with your day since you shouldn't wear makeup right after a dermarolling or microneedling session.
I've seen a huge difference and I highly highly recommend it. So I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial. You can find me, I'm @prettyprogress23, on all my social media and I'm sending you all my love and light. Comment below what else you'd like to hear me talk about!


It's been an amazing couple of years for contact centers. They are benefiting from major enhancements and innovation in the form of artificial intelligence (AI), speech technologies, analytics, and the cloud, in many of their 45 systems and applications. AI and related technologies are in their infancy and are already making significant contributions to the companies that use them.
Most of the contact center technology and application providers say they have incorporated AI into their solutions, but this can mean many different things. In some cases, it means that they have enhanced their rules engines; in others, it signifies the use of machine learning to identify and improve the performance and benefits of their solutions; and for many organizations, it's about the use of natural language understanding and processing (NLU/NLP). However, while the vendors are strongly marketing their adoption and use of AI technologies, for companies to realize the greatest benefit, they need to re-imagine how they apply the solutions.
To optimize the benefits, companies must evaluate the new offerings and then update their technology roadmaps to incorporate the use of the AI family of products. After attaining a good handle on the offerings, they then need to identify current business challenges and determine which ones can best be addressed with AI.
Voice Biometrics – uses machine learning to support an adaptive tuning process; it recalibrates the voiceprint each time there is new data.
These are just a few examples of the power and benefits that AI is bringing to front- and back-office departments. The ease of delivering new capabilities via the cloud means that vendors are constantly introducing enhanced capabilities, and most of them welcome input from their customers. When it comes to AI, the fun has just begun.
The answer to the question presented in the title is yes. The variables are when, how, and which technologies warrant an investment. Artificial intelligence is a term that covers a broad set of advanced technologies that make solutions smarter. And most contact centers need smarter solutions.
IT and business leaders need to work together to pick the optimal systems for their companies. There are many considerations to take into account, including the deployment model (cloud, on-premises, hybrid or managed service). Ease of learning and use is also very important; while IT will be fine with solutions that require programming, business users prefer offerings that come with well-defined interfaces that make system administration easy for them. Lastly, it's time for most organizations to start adopting these solutions, as these AI-based systems improve quality, productivity and the overall customer journey, and companies that do not use them will be at a strategic disadvantage.
