World Premiere of ?CHANGE: The Brain and Divinity? Held in Sedona
World Premiere of “CHANGE: The Brain and Divinity” Held in Sedona
(PRWEB) October 20, 2014
Ilchi Lee’s latest film, “CHANGE: The Brain and Divinity,” was met with warm applause at a Red Carpet Event at the Sedona Creative Life Center on Thursday, October 9, 2014, where nearly 200 people gathered.
The film, which is a sequel to last year’s “CHANGE: The LifeParticle Effect,” explores the idea that the potential for human greatness lies within the human brain. Executive Producer Ilchi Lee calls that greatness divinity, and suggests that everyone has the potential to be great if they know how to use that aspect of their brain.
The event, hosted by the Sedona Meditation Center and local media company Change Your Energy, began with a buffet in the center’s courtyard and a book signing by author Rebecca Tinkle. Tinkle’s novel, “The Secret of Mago Castle,” is a spiritual adventure set in Sedona, AZ. Inspired by Ilchi Lee’s Brain Education method, the book suggests what the destiny of the human race would be if it fulfilled its highest potential.
Audience members were comprised of Sedona Meditation Center students, fans of Ilchi Lee’s works including his bestselling book “The Call of Sedona” and his first film “CHANGE: The LifeParticle Effect,” out of town visitors and members of the Sedona community.
One attendee named Lonnie, who years ago sustained a brain injury that left him with intermittent memory loss, said, “I had just seen the flyer for the film that afternoon and was intrigued. The film reminded me that I am more than my memories. I am able to heal my brain, expand and grow forward no matter what the past held for me.”
The film’s main premise is what Ilchi Lee coined the Brain Operating System or BOS, which he compared to a computer operating system. With animations and dramatic reenactments, the film described five principles on which the BOS runs, which by practicing them, can be the key to unlocking the true potential of humankind.
These concepts were reinforced by real-world examples of people applying the principles of BOS, both in the United States and in Lee’s native South Korea. Spiritual and brain education thought leaders weighed in on what BOS could mean for the future of humanity and the planet.
After the film, Ilchi Lee gave a talk about his personal journey from Korea to Sedona via Los Angeles and the early struggles with school studies that inspired him to seek a better way to educate the whole person—body, mind and soul.
Rebecca Tinkle concluded the evening with a reading of a passage from her novel, reinforcing the film’s message of hope for humanity’s ability to awaken to their divine consciousness in the present era.

Scytl Online Voting Helps Iceland Successfully Run Fully Online Referendums
Scytl Online Voting Helps Iceland Successfully Run Fully Online Referendums
Barcelona & Reykjavik (PRWEB UK) 12 May 2015
Scytl, the worldwide leader in secure online voting and election modernization, announces the successful deployment of the first ever fully online residents referendum in Iceland. This first online referendum took place in the municipality of Ölfus with a participation rate of 43% of the municipality´s residents (age 16+), a clear demonstration of the possibility to leverage the online channel for more participatory, agile and secure referendums.
The online citizen referendum held in the municipality of Ölfus is the first of the future online referendums that will take place across selected municipalities in Iceland. As part of the country´s strategic initiative to create a more agile and participatory electoral process, Þjóðskrá Íslands (Registers Iceland) – the office under the Ministry of the Interior which among other things maintains the national register and authentication service for all citizens which was used in the election – began an online citizen referendum program aimed at streamlining the path to online voting in the country.
“The execution of the election in Ölfus was very successful and the participation was good. We are looking forward to working with Scytl on the second pilot election in a bigger municipality,” said Margrét Hauksdóttir Director General of Registers Iceland.
In general, the participation percentage increased in the older age groups, with the participation of men over 75 surpassing the 63% participation rate. Gunnsteinn Ómarsson, Mayor of Ölfus comments, “We were a bit worried about how the older people would feel about eVoting, but it turned out they were quite ready for it! This is an excellent way to consult the population quickly and efficiently.”
As ongoing experiences and reports around the globe indicate, the leverage of secure online channels has a positive influence in increasing citizen engagement. The recently published report “Effects of the Internet on Participation: Study of a Public Policy Referendum in Brazil” documents an 8.2% increase in total turn-out with the introduction of online voting.
The online referendum implemented by Iceland provides the highest security levels available today and ensures voter privacy, strong voter authentication, the integrity of the referendum results and voter verifiability and auditability. All while providing user-friendly and accessible voting for its citizens. In the case of the Ölfus municipality:
The citizens online referendum took place between March 17 – 26, 2015.
The voting centered on whether Ölfus should enter negotiations with other municipalities for a possible merger and on a date for a popular festival in Ölfus.
Citizen participation rate surpassed the 43% mark.
For citizens with no access to the internet, the municipality provided access to computers with internet connection and help as needed at the Municipal Library.
“Scytl is extremely proud of the opportunity to continue to support the enablement of a modern and secure electoral process in Iceland with our experience and state-of-the art online voting technology. Being selected by Iceland to support these initiatives as a flagship in global electoral processes once again reinforces our focus on increasing and improving participatory democracy, citizen empowerment and public transparency via innovative online technology,” concludes Pere Valles, CEO of Scytl.

New Data for Contract Management Software Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld
New Data for Contract Management Software Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 07, 2015
Contract management software has a buyer power score of 4.2 out of 5. This score indicates that buyers are in a favorable position to negotiate price discounts or package deals from providers. Prices for contract management software have been stable during the past three years, and they are anticipated to remain stable in the three years to 2017. “Due to growing business activity and an increasing utilization of software for business processes, demand for contract management software has grown steadily,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Dale Schmidt. Despite higher demand, competition and the rising prevalence of cloud computing technology in the market have moderated price increases. Competition has increased as more providers have entered the market, putting pressure on providers to lower prices. California is home to Silicon Valley, a highly concentrated area of technology companies and many of the top computer science universities in the world. As a result, many contract management software providers, such as SAP, IBM and Sciquest, have their headquarters in California. The use of cloud computing technology, meanwhile, has lowered the cost of delivery, and suppliers have passed on these cost savings to buyers in the form of lower prices.
Buyers also benefit from low market risk. Contract management software providers are not dependent on any critical inputs that may interrupt the supply chain or create significant price fluctuations. As a result, buyers can expect reliable and steady access to contract management software to manage their contracts. Also, most providers have seen healthy revenue growth in the past three years, although buyers should be aware that smaller providers might not be as financially stable as larger and more established software publishers.
Buyers also benefit from the high availability of substitutes. “Buyers can use document management software or manual, paper-based systems to manage their contracts instead of this market’s software. In addition, buyers can seek price discounts by comparing prices for these substitutes with the price of contract management software. Furthermore, market share concentration and product specialization are low, which benefits buyers because it indicates that there are a large number of providers that can provide contract management software,” Schmidt says. That said, switching costs are medium, creating some risk that buyers may be locked in with their provider. As such, buyers should take their time to evaluate and select the right supplier.

Internet Cafe Franchises
Internet Cafe Franchises
(PRWEB) July 29, 2006
Over the past decade the Internet has become an integral part of most people’s lives with easy and affordable access, wherever they are a necessity for many. That’s why investing in an Internet cafe franchise could prove an extremely wise business move.
For over ten years the Internet cafe industry has flourished as more and more people look to get online while stopping for a coffee or meeting friends for lunch.
But while it may be a well-established industry, it is by no means without new possibilities. Indeed the constant launching of new Internet services, such as online banking, shopping and gaming, means there is an ever greater demand for Internet access wherever and whenever.
With no set rules on how to start up and run an Internet cafe, there are many options to consider. An Internet cafe can focus on serving good food and drink, and simply have a few PCs in the corner for visitors to check their email, or it can concentrate solely on web-based gaming, providing users with powerful computers and graphic cards as well as all the latest gaming software for a small fee per hour of use.
The most important thing is to provide the right atmosphere, equipment or food to cater for a specific audience, whether it be corporate coffee drinkers keeping on top of their emails, students using chat rooms while catching up on homework, or gaming fanatics eager to take part in the latest web-based adventures.
Potential franchisees should make sure they conduct some thorough and extensive research into the franchise opportunities available in their chosen area and do some work to determine whether there is a market for their preferred type of Internet cafe.
In order to run a flourishing Internet cafe business in today’s world, entrepreneurs must be able to implement ideas that will set them apart from the competition, whilst also maintaining the principle objective of providing easy, affordable access to the web.
The advantage of going the franchise way is that franchisees will purchase a trademark and a proven business model, allowing them to concentrate on the smaller but potentially more important aspects of the business, such as making sure the customers are satisfied.
They also acquire the expertise of the franchiser’s organization, both commercial and technical, allowing even the least technologically literate to get into the business.
Assistance and support will include marketing and management help, but it may also include full technical support such as troubleshooting, 24-hour emergency support and equipment maintenance and upgrades.
One of the disadvantages of entering a franchise Internet cafe business is that the franchise fee could be rather considerable. Computers and Internet software do not come cheap and for franchises that serve food and drink as well there will be extra costs.
But with an Internet cafe business sure to perform well, the returns could soon cover the initial start-up costs.
One other disadvantage is that franchisees have to follow the franchise rules in order to continue using the franchise brand. This may be a down side for the more creative and aspiring business minds, but it could equally prove advantageous for those looking for a structured set of rules to follow.
To stay at the top in the Internet cafe franchises business requires dedication, perseverance, and a clean vision. Starting a cafe hub is easy, but what is rather more difficult to maintain is its ongoing popularity.
But by offering the customers a friendly atmosphere in which to mix both business and pleasure, franchisees could soon find themselves running a very successful and lucrative business.
