AMAG Technology
Ms. Jody Ross, Vice President of Business Development, AMAG Technology, told us, "AMAG's Symmetry access control system is the best software on the market today. Our software and hardware come packed with features that other manufacturers charge for. The GUI is similar to Microsoft's so it's familiar to everyone, reducing training time, and it integrates to a wide variety of technology partners to provide video, audio, HR, etc. options to customers who need those options. Innovative features such as Alarm Workflow, Task Manager and Threat Level Manager allow security directors to better manage their security team's response times and actions, and secure their building during crisis situations. Symmetry is a leading-edge security system designed for buildings of any kind, which combines all aspects of security into a single well-designed and future-proof software solution suitable for small, large or very large applications."

ImageWare Systems
ImageWare Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: IWSY) (ImageWare), a leader in mobile and cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, has issued financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, as well as provided a corporate update to highlight the company's progress since its last update on March 17, 2014.
Operational Highlights
- Partnered with IBM to provide Imageware's cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management and user authentication platform on the IBM Cloud Platform, BlueMix.
- Signed agreement to provide ImageWare's GoMobile Interactive product via Fujitsu's Global Cloud Platform with Maxie Mobile for their mobile wallet offering, initially targeted towards the gaming industry.
- T-Systems and ImageWare have secured the first customer under the new partnership. The first customer is Deutsche Bahn, the German national rail company. ImageWare expects this implementation to commence and begin producing revenues in the third quarter of 2014.
First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Total revenues in the first quarter of 2014 increased to $1.1 million from $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2013, primarily due to higher sales of identification software license revenue.
Gross margin in the first quarter of 2014 increased by 410 basis points to 76.4% compared to 72.3% in the first quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to the increased software license revenues.
Net loss in the first quarter of 2014 was $1.7 million or ($0.02) per basic share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million or ($0.04) per basic share in the first quarter of 2013.
At March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.2 million compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2013. The company continues to carry virtually no debt and its $3.5 million line of credit that remains untapped.
Management Commentary
"Our strategy to target large IT service providers and provide security for their cloud customers and applications is gaining traction, as demonstrated by our most recent partnership with IBM," said Jim Miller, chairman and CEO of ImageWare. "IBM marks our third secured agreement with a major cloud partner, and we expect more to come. These large, established partners offer the support, brand name and worldwide cloud platform needed to seamlessly distribute our products. While IBM's BlueMix is in the early stages, we've already received referrals from their customers -- several of which we are in active discussions.
"At the beginning of April, Fujitsu announced the kick-off and worldwide expansion of our partnership model with a dedicated sales team covering the Americas. Since then, Fujitsu has set up proof of concept pilots with three of their major customers, with more expected in the near future.
"By working closely with our technology partners, we continue to build a healthy active pipeline of potential customers. One includes a new partnership with Maxie Mobile, where we will provide our GoMobile Interactive product via Fujitsu's Global Cloud Platform for Maxie's mobile wallet offering, which is initially targeted towards the gaming industry.
"Our partnership with T-Systems continues to progress quickly. In fact, T-Systems has recently secured an agreement with Deutsche Bahn, the German national railroad, who will become the first customer receiving our joint product offering. We expect more to follow and anticipate this agreement will begin producing revenues in the third quarter of 2014.
"We see our relationships with IBM, Fujitsu, T-Systems and others representing just the tip of the iceberg in terms of our opportunities in the commercial and consumer marketplaces. All of these partnerships are progressing well, and although they have not yet produced revenue, there is every indication that the steps we have been taking are building shareholder value and will ultimately provide a steady stream of recurring revenue."

March Networks
March Networks® recently announced that...
Pelco IP Cameras Now Integrated with March Networks' Command Video Management System
And, in other recent news...
March Networks®, a global provider of intelligent IP video solutions, today announced that America's largest wine and spirits superstore Total Wine & More has standardized on its next-generation retail video surveillance solution. The privately-owned chain is using the March Networks offering to maintain its strong security and loss prevention efforts across 100 outlets located in 15 states, and to capture clear video evidence to assist with liability protection as it grows its e-commerce business.
Total Wine, which is adding 12-15 new stores annually, transitioned to the March Networks 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs and Visual Intelligence software when it began opening Internet fulfilment centers in its stores. The 25,000-square-foot retail outlets hold nearly 14,000 types of wines, beers and spirits and feature walk-in cigar humidors and keg rooms, wine tasting areas and classrooms. While existing analog cameras are in place to monitor the stores' public areas, Total Wine needed high-definition (HD) IP cameras to capture essential data when packaging bottles that could retail for up to $2,000. The 8000 Series recorders can support a mix of analog and IP cameras or as many as 32 IP cameras, giving Total Wine the freedom to transition to HD video cost-effectively as its business requirements evolve.
"We didn't want to abandon our analog cameras, and the March Networks solution allowed us to add more IP cameras to our build-out where and when we needed them," said Total Wine Senior Project Manager Mark Ganter. "We're very happy with the solution and the support we have received. We have such vast coverage that we can see almost every part of a store, and we now use the video surveillance system if we need to investigate a problem or inspect an area in any of our stores."
Total Wine operates mini-fulfillment centers within select stores, where product is pulled from the shelves, packaged and shipped to customers by courier. IP cameras in the fulfillment rooms capture images of the bottles, shipping information and labels for proof of packaging and delivery. Additional IP cameras are positioned to capture the pickup by the courier, at which time all liability transfers to the courier. If the need arises, Total Wine can review its video archives to retrace the steps of the fulfillment process and verify exact details.
The high-performance March Networks 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs provide the retailer with unparalleled reliability and scale, centralized system management and the ability to remotely access live and recorded video. In the future, Total Wine may also take advantage of video analytics and software applications available in the March Networks retail portfolio for expanded loss prevention, operations and marketing intelligence.
"Our experience working with some of the world's largest retailers has resulted in our next-generation offering, which is ideally suited to help organizations like Total Wine & More protect and grow their business and optimize operations," said Net Payne, Chief Marketing Officer, March Networks. "Retailers are using video-based intelligence to better protect assets, prevent losses, enhance security and increase profits in the process. The technology is now considered a competitive advantage rather than just a security system."

By Carmen Gonzalez The explosion of connected devices / sensors is creating an ever-expanding set of new and valuable data.

By Carmen Gonzalez In the consumer IoT, everything is new, and the IT world of bits and bytes holds sway. But industrial and commercial realms encompass operational technology (OT) that has been around for 25 or 50 years. This grittier, pre-IP, more hands-on world has much to gain from Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications and principles. But adding sensors and wireless connectivity won't work in environments that demand unwavering reliability and performance.

By Pat Romanski When it comes to the Internet of Things, hooking up will get you only so far. If you want customers to commit, you need to go beyond simply connecting products. You need to use the devices themselves to transform how you engage with every customer and how you manage the entire product lifecycle.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

By Pat Romanski Since 2008 and for the first time in history, more than half of humans live in urban areas, urging cities to become "smart."

By Pat Romanski The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Mar. 2, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 3,072 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

College Basketball: AP & Coaches Poll Discussion
The NCAA Selection Committee often places a lot of weight on the final 10 games of the regular season when deciding who gets in and what seed they get once they get there. In almost every case, a team that is playing well down the stretch is far more likely to play well and make a run in the NCAA Tournament than a team that stumbles at the end of the regular season – no matter how much more talented on paper that team may be.
This is a big reason why at least 3 schools will more than likely not be too pleased with their seed on Selection Sunday. Michigan State has now lost 5 of 7 and dropped out of the top 25. They are really missing Matt Trannon and Marquise Gray. NC State has lost 4 of the last 6, including 3 in a row to close the season. They too dropped out of the polls this week.
Georgetown also has the dubious honor of finishing the season 2-4, including a jaw-dropping loss to South Florida. Until that game the Bulls were 0-15 in conference in their first Big East season.
On the flip side, UNC (10 AP/Coaches) has now won seven straight after their amazing victory in Cameron Indoor on Senior Night. Since dropping 3 of 4 in January, they have won 10 of 11, the lone loss coming against Duke. In the past three weeks, they have jumped from 22 to 13 to 10 in the polls today. In fact, one lone coach voted them #1. They finish the season in sole possession of second place in the ACC and have the overwhelming favorite for Freshman of the Year in Tyler Hansbrough. Simply amazing for a team that lost its top seven scorers – including 4 NBA Lottery picks - from last year.
Ohio State (7) closed the season winning 9 of their past 10 and is the improbable Big Ten regular season champion – their first season title in 14 years. They haven't lost a game all season by more than 5 points. With Duke (3) now on a losing streak (did I just write that?) and a Texas (8) loss to Texas A&M, the door is open for the Buckeyes to earn a #1 seed next Sunday. Thad Matta is simply one of the best coaches in America.
Big East rivals UConn (1) and Villanova (2) will both likely earn #1 seeds and are simply on a roll. The Wildcats have won 13 of their final 14 games. The Huskies have won 16 of 17. Their only losses have come against each other.
It's hard to believe the regular season is already over. It seems like just yesterday that the preseason polls were released. Those polls are always fun, because they not only signal that the season is about to begin, but it marks the first time that sportswriters and coaches collectively weigh in on the great debate over which teams are the very best in the nation.
How'd they do? Some of their picks have held up, others not so much. For example, Louisville, Kentucky and Arizona were all ranked in the top ten. Other teams making the grade as one of the 25 best teams in America include future NIT participants Syracuse (#16), Wake Forest (#18) and Stanford (#13). Among those who did not see their names in the polls include Ohio State, Florida (16/14) and Pittsburgh (15/16) – who did not get a single vote.
I bring this up not to pick on poll voters, but to simply make the points that A) this isn't college football, where the opinions of the experts actually decides the postseason fate of schools, and B) there's no such thing as an expert.
In other words, don't take these polls too seriously. They do not have any influence over the Selection Committee, who is much more concerned with the RPI, strength of schedule and quality wins. In truth, no team really cares about where they are ranked this time of year, only where they are seeded.

Alex Younkin - Unregistered April 28, 2012 11:19 PM One has to wonder if Rossi has lost his confidence in pushing the front end really hard after seeing one of his best friends die due to a lowside. Not to mention the fact that he was one of riders involved in the fatal accident. Must be hard to get that image out of your head every time you tip into a corner.

Understeer - Unregistered April 29, 2012 1:08 AM Reading about Rossi's performance in practise I decided to watch qualifying. It was painful. I admit I watch MotoGP for Rossi mainly. The so called Aliens, especially Stoner, have the combined charisma (on and off the track) of a wet towel, although Jorge as the slight underdog is growing on me.I have been following motorcycle racing since the dying days of MV Agusta in the early 70s and in the last 10 yars or so most of the exitement involved Valentino in some way and we can see how popular he is from the crashnet threads. I don't think Ducati and Rossi will sort out the technical problems this season either, so my hope is for rain (the great leveller), some exiting racing for todays race and hopefully a good result Valentino, who I am certain has a few more wins in him. 2 agree 0 disagree

KARACHI: Pakistan were all out for 99 against England in the third and final Test played at Dubai Stadium on Friday.
Two batsmen reach double figures. Asad Shafiq was 24 while Saeed Ajmal was one not out after Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat.
Pakistan, leading the series 2-0 following their ten-wicket win in the first Test in Dubai and 72 run victory in the second Test in Abu Dhabi, brought back paceman Aizaz Cheema in place of Junaid Khan.

The next of Reebok's countless collabs for the Reebok Classic Leather in 2013 comes from Gary Warnett, a key force in UK sneaker retailer Crooked Tongues and plenty a copy writing side project. Hopefully you got already got the full story on the criminally-inspired pair via our SN Select piece with the man, but if not maybe you can just enjoy the shoe based of the blocking alone (Something Warnett himself has lamented is sort of lost on the current generation of footwear).

"Behind the super bowl, the day before Thanksgiving is a day we circle on the calendar," said Chris Brandon, a spokesman for Domino's Pizza.
Domino's stocks up on pizza ingredients and ramps up staffing in order to be prepared for the big day. "We want to be prepared to give our customers the service they expect," said Brandon. He expects the company to sell 1.1 million pizzas in one day. Families are either too overwhelmed with trying to prepare for the feast that they can't make dinner or they just need to keep the kitchen clear as they prepare dishes in advance. Plus, the leftovers can make for a great midnight snack or breakfast if hungry family members get shooed out of the kitchen.
Domino's is also using the big event as a way to launch new products. This year it is promoting new stuffed bread appropriately called "Stuffed Cheesy Bread." The stock is certainly stuffing portfolios with profits. It is up a whopping 119% for the past year.

Last year Mr. Ferriero created the Fellowship to support scholarly work in United States history, based on research in the records of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The Foundation for the National Archives has provided a total stipend of $10,000 for the Fellowship.
Applications for the 2012 Fellowship will be accepted by email until midnight EDT May 16, 2012. The recipient will be selected by July 1, 2012. Research proposals will be considered on any topic requiring research in the historical records of Congress housed at the National Archives Center for Legislative Archives. The records of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives support research in a wide range of topics and subfields including social policy, law-making, leadership, representation (petitioning, constituents, lobbying) and the context in which Congress operates (inter-governmental; political, social, and economic climate).
The Fellow will be supported by the Center for Legislative Archives staff and will have the opportunity to consult with the House and Senate History offices. The Fellow will be expected to make an initial presentation to the National Archives staff and local historians on the proposed plan of work and a second presentation on research finding at the end of the Fellowship tenure. The recipient will also maintain a blog about his/her Fellowship experience.
Fellowship Details
Amount: $10,000
Tenure: The Fellowship requires a minimal residency of one month at the Center for Legislative Archives and additional research in records that complement the Center's holdings. Eligibility: Ph.D. candidates whose dissertations have been approved by the application deadline and individuals who have received their Ph.D. within the last five years. Instructions to apply for the Fellowship are posted at:http://www.archives.gov/legislative/research/fellowship.html

ZK is an AJAX-based web framework from the Potix Corporation. ZK is open-source, licensed under the GPL (GNU Public License). ZK's AJAX engine consists of both client and server components that communicate with one another. ZK provides two sets of user interface components. One set of components is based upon XUL, or the XML User Interface Language. The second set utilizes XHTML. ZK provides an XML-based markup language called ZUML for adding components to a page. Though ZK's Ajax engine makes considerable use of JavaScript, it is important to note that the complexity of implementing Ajax is concealed from the developer. Client side events send data to the server where the developer can handle them with Java code. ZK provides a simplified programming model, similar in many respects to programming with Java Swing. In the Model-View-Controller architecture, ZK addresses the 'View' portion of an application. Developers are free to use technologies such as Enterprise JavaBeans and object-relational frameworks such as Hibernate in conjunction with ZK. It is even possible to incorporate ZK into applications that use view technologies such as JavaServer Pages and JavaServer Faces.
In the remainder of this article, we will take a brief look at ZK in action. The sample application presented here is by no means a comprehensive demonstration of ZK's features. Hopefully, it will encourage you to explore the framework yourself in greater detail.
The sample application allows university students to create a schedule of courses. There are several domain objects used to represent data used by the application:
An AvailableCourse is an aggregate of Course, Room, and Faculty. It represents a specific course offering for the current semester. A StudentCourse links a Student instance with a particular AvailableCourse. A collection of StudentCourse objects will comprise a student's schedule. I used the NetBeans IDE to develop this sample application. In addition to the domain classes mentioned above, I created a simple Data Access Object in Dao.java that event handlers can use to access sample data. You can download this sample application, including the source code and .war file, here. All .jar files necessary for building ZK applications are included in the ZK distribution. After adding these libraries to your project, you will need to modify the web.xml configuration file to add Servlet mappings that allow ZK to process requests. The ZK download includes a demo application and the easiest way to get started on a new application is to copy its web.xml file and customize as necessary.
As mentioned earlier, ZK provides two different component sets, XUL or XHTML. You can actually use both in the same page using XML namespaces. This application will utilize XUL components. ZUML (ZK User Interface Markup Language) is used to specify page components. With ZUML, you can arrange the layout of components on a page, modify attributes for these components, and wire component events to event handlers. It is also possible to handle events directly in the page using the <zscript> element. Zscript lets developers embed Java code in a page, similar to Java scriptlets in JavaServer Pages. Of course, the more robust option is to handle events inside Java classes but we will take a look at both options.
Index.zul contains all the components used in the sample application. You have the option to break up the interface into smaller, reusable files and include them in the main page as you might do with the include directive in JavaServer Pages. The <window> component is a top level component that will normally encapsulate several components on a given page. Like all components, you can modify a window's attributes to modify its appearance and name event handlers. A convenient way to handle component events is to extend the component class. This 'use' attribute in ZUML enables you to specify a custom subclass to represent the component. As an example, the main window in index.zul uses the Java class MainWindow which can be found in the 'web' package:
MainWindow can access child components as well as handle window events. For example, by overriding the onCreate Window event, we have the opportunity to customize the title according to the student accessing the application:
As it turns out, the MainWindow class is a convenient place to handle other component events as well. Really any Java class can be used to respond to user actions. The screenshot below shows the page tab where most user interaction takes place. This tab panel consists of a tree component that displays course offerings, a list representing the student's current schedule, and a label that displays the total credit hours for a schedule. In the spirit of a rich client application, students add courses to their schedules by selecting a course from a tree node and dragging it onto the schedule list. This is just one of many examples in which ZK can provide functionality that a typical web application cannot. All of it accomplished too, I might add, with very little code.
Some components defined in index.zul markup file are static in nature. For example, the  component is a special component that allows you to add HTML to a page:
Other components, such as the tree component shown below, will generate its content dynamically. It uses some helpful attributes that ZK provides to iterate through a Java Collection as well as EL expressions. When the component is first loaded, the tree will loop through a collection of Course objects and display one node for each course name that the university offers. Then, when the user expands a node, an event handler,showAvailableCourses, in class MainWindow executes and generates a node representing all available courses that a user may add to his or her schedule.
Explore the MainWindow code and the index.zul file. Examine how the .zul page wires component events to event handler methods in the Java class. I think you will find this an intuitive programming model, one that most web developers should find refreshing.
If you prefer in certain situations to handle event logic directly in your ZUML page, you can easily do so with the <zscript> element. There are virtually no limitations to what you can do in the zscript portion of a page. As an example, look at the following toolbar component for the main window:
The onClick event method in this case will be written within a <zscript> element. The particular event handler displays a popup window with contact information for questions about student enrollment. Before it displays the window, however, it programmatically creates components and adds them to the window:
The window that displays contact information is also defined in index.zul:
As previously mentioned, you can add several components and even several windows filled with child components in a single ZUML file, or you can break them up into separate files. Test the sample application and witness some of the features it provides, message boxes for example. Adding such functionality was trivial but can greatly improve the user experience.
I have only touched upon ZK's numerous features. The ZK site provides excellent documentation. I think you will find it worth your while to experiment with ZK and learn how to build Ajax web applications with minimal effort.

You've got the gorgeous guy (or gal), the ring and the dress, but one factor that can often be high on the anxiety list is the makeup. The tendency may be to go big (it's a celebration!), but flamboyance isn't always flattering.
Green beauty is so much fun! It allows us to play, create, celebrate & express ourselves in so many powerful ways.
Does your smoky eye look more like you got punched in the eye? First things first: Back away from the black eye shadow (leave that to the teens).
Coco Chanel once said "before leaving the house, a lady should look in the mirror and remove one accessory," and while I am never one to disagree with the iconic Coco Chanel, in this case I'm going to go ahead and tell you to do the exact opposite of what she said here.
While all these things are absolutely crucial to make your day perfect, your makeup is equally as important. Not only is the bride the main attraction at any wedding but the photos will last forever.
"The ingénue is the cool girl of the group. The look is pretty, fresh, effortlessly gorgeous, and Bambi-eyed..." - Charlotte Tilbury
Aiming for perfection is a fine quality to have but when it comes to makeup, isn't it best applied with a relaxed hand?
Naturally, it is a desire of many women to have big, youthful looking eyes. Unfortunately, nature does not always cooperate and we are not all left with our ideal eye size and shape. The good news is that it doesn't matter whether you have small set eyes or you just want to make them pop.
This color is the perfect compliment to rich, deep brown eyes.
Oh, the ever elusive cat-eye. From Cleopatra to Adele, this iconic makeup look can take you from innocent to bombshell with a simple sultry flick of a black eyeliner pen.
To create a sultry look does not necessarily mean a matte black smokey eye.
As temperatures soar, so do the chances of your makeup melting, fading, settling into creases, and sliding off your face.
Below are some of the makeup do's and don'ts I have found to be helpful for myself and my clients.
Day 2 of our #Escape2Roo road trip and YouTube star/makeup guru Kandee Johnson is giving us all makeups tips to rock out any any music festival this...
Whether you're preparing for your wedding day, or just editing your permanent makeup bag stash, these products will take you from priming to prettifying in no time.

Overcoming a history of traumatic violence, Ruth Buendía united the Asháninka people in a powerful campaign against large-scale dams that would have once again uprooted indigenous communities still recovering from Peru's civil war.
In 2010, the governments of Brazil and Peru signed a bilateral energy agreement that called for a series of large-scale hydroelectric dams in the Amazon. Under this agreement, most of the energy would be exported to Brazil. Few economic benefits would come back to local communities in Peru, whose ancestral territories would be flooded during construction.
Among the indigenous people living in the proposed construction site of the Pakitzapango dam along the Ene River are the Asháninka, who have made a home in the thickly forested "eyebrow of the jungle" practicing subsistence farming, hunting and fishing.
The energy agreement was pushed through without any input from the Asháninka, in direct violation of the International Labor Organization's (ILO) treaty—which Peru ratified in 2006—that requires governments to consult with indigenous communities on any development projects in their territory.
Ruth Buendía was 12 years old when the Shining Path guerillas invaded Asháninka territory and set up political and military operations. Her father was killed during the violence that ensued, and her mother sent Buendía away to seek safety in Lima. Thousands of Asháninka were killed during the conflict; thousands more fled their ancestral lands.
Following her return home, Buendía worked at a juice shop in Satipo where she was approached by a customer who recognized her as a fellow Asháninka and encouraged her to join the Asháninka Center of the Ene River (CARE). Eager to reconnect with her roots and contribute to the Asháninka community's healing, she began volunteering with the organization, helping indigenous people obtain the documentation needed to attend school and access public services.
Traveling across the Ene River Valley, Buendía met several tribal chiefs who had known and respected her father—and felt at home for the first time. She thrived at CARE, and in 2005, a retirement in the organization's leadership led to an unexpected opportunity as Buendía, at 27 years old, was elected the first woman president of CARE.
Not long after the historic election, Buendía came across news coverage of the bilateral energy agreement and the proposed Pakitzapango Dam. CARE's requests to the Peruvian government for more information went unanswered, but it soon became clear that the massive dams would displace thousands of Asháninka—reopening old wounds from Peru's civil war a mere decade before.
Buendía and her team at CARE began reaching out to Asháninka communities, raising awareness about the dam and its threats using digital simulations of how the valley would be flooded during construction. They organized a region-wide assembly and united the Asháninka in opposition to the dam.
Buendía took the struggle to international leaders. She traveled to Washington DC as the representative of the Asháninka delegation and presented a report to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights about the impact of Peruvian energy development on her people.
In December 2010, as a direct result of Buendía's advocacy, the Peruvian Ministry of Energy rejected a request from Pakitzapango Energy that would have allowed the dam to move forward. The following year, Odebrecht, the main shareholder in another dam, the Tambo 40, announced its withdrawal from the project, citing the need to respect the views of local communities.
With the Pakitzapango project tied up in court, Buendía is now working to firmly establish land rights for the Asháninka. She is developing a management plan for the Asháninka Communal Reserve that would protect their lands from future development while allowing local communities to pursue sustainable economic opportunities such as coffee and cacao farming.
