It’s 6.30pm and it’s taken us 1.5 hours to arrive at the checkpoint where we need to show our passports. I feel exhilarated. The final challenge is a short steep climb up a hill festooned with prayer flags, This is the ultimate viewing spot. It’s bitterly cold and windy but the views of Everest are awe-inspiring. There is a tiny cloud cap covering the summit, otherwise the views are of blue skies and brilliant white snow.
Behind the hill is a plain from which Everest rises majestically to 8850 metres. During the months of May, June and July this area is apparently crawling with tents of expedition groups. There are none now and venturing into this area without a guide could land you with a hefty fine. Clouds are starting to creep across the plain and the light starts to fade quickly so we catch donkey cart back down the hill for 25 Yuan (about £1.75). By the time I’ve reached the tent I can’t feel my hands at all.

This former cold war base has a new name, Saint Marie, and a slogan: "Home of the Adventurous" which fits quite well. When I begin to write something down about this place I honestly don't know where to begin. So I guess I should start by saying that almost everything you will be seeing in these photos is abandoned. This is a former cold war air force base that was basically left to rot by the government after less than 10 years of use. There are a few families that live in the condos still, but I would say 90 or more percent of these homes are empty. The schools are decaying, as is the hospital and all other buildings except those owned by Boeing. Boeing owns the runway and uses it for test purposes. And instead of moving their employees into the empty condos they set up manufactured homes for them.
The weather in Saint Marie is especially brutal, terribly hot dry summers and fierce awful winters. Saint Marie is like an island of condos and abandoned buildings in a great sea of prairie--nothing else is around it for miles and miles. It is true desolation. And when you drive the broken streets and see the condos with those big windows looking at you like empty eyes it is like you are in another world entirely. Then you see the signs set up by Boeing saying not to go any further and that essentially they are watching you--it's like something from a movie. I encourage you to look up other people's photos of Saint Marie and the things you will see will haunt you. Operating tables and beds left up in the hospital. Robes left hanging in the church. Everyone just walked away one day and this is what remains. If you are especially adventurous you can move here--the condos are a steal. A beautiful one fully furnished just sold for 30,000 dollars and there are others for much less than that.
If any of you are as fascinated with this place as I am I have compiled a list of other websites where you can see old and new photos of this place, as well as real estate listings for condos that are for sale:

More than 600 Airmen assigned to the 322nd Training Squadron graduated from Basic Military Training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, July 27-28, 2022. Lt. Gen. Richard W. Scobee, Commander, Air Force Reserve Command, reviewed the ceremony. (U.S. Air Force photo by Miriam Thurber)
Day 4, 2013 road trip, west Texas. This was the Rattlesnake Bomber Base, a training facility for World War II pilots. Eventually the facility was closed and abandoned. It was used for the hanger where Judd Nelson is going to skydive in the film "Fandango".
The base area has been used for a school and a prison in the last 20-30 years but I believe is currently completely abandoned. However there really isn't anyway to access the area of the former hangers. They can be seen somewhat, what is left of them, from Interstate 20, like some massive ruins off in the distance.
La Base Aérea de Torrejón (código IATA: TOJ, código OACI: LETO) es uno de los principales aeropuertos militares españoles cerca de Madrid. Fue usada, conjuntamente con el Ejército de Aire, por la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos (USAF) hasta 1992. Tras haber sido utilizado conjuntamente por el Ejército del Aire de España y AENA, esta última para la aviación ejecutiva, actualmente dichas operaciones han sido trasladadas al Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas.
Torrejón Air Base (IATA: TOJ, ICAO: LETO) (Base Aérea de Torrejón de Ardoz) is both a major Spanish Air Force base and the collocated Madrid–Torrejón Airport, a secondary civilian airport for the city and metropolitan area of Madrid.
La base aérienne de Torrejón (code AITA : TOJ • code OACI : LETO) est un aéroport militaire et civil (Aéroport de Madrid-Torrejón) en Espagne situé dans la périphérie de Madrid.
La base aerea di Torrejon era un aeroporto militare situato in Spagna gestito dalla United States Air Force. La base di Torrejon fu chiusa nel 1996 e l'aeroporto venne riconvertito per scopi civili. Attualmente lo scalo è noto come aeroporto di Madrid-Torrejón, stante la vicinanza alla città di Madrid. La base aerea di Torrejon era una delle basi aeree principali in Europa centro-meridionale assieme alle basi aeree di Aviano in Italia e quella di Incirlik in Turchia. Di fatto la base ha cessato di fungere da avamposto per la USAF già a partire dal 21 maggio 1992, quando gli aeromobili di stanza furono trasferiti altrove.

A before and after moc. Originally the base belonged to the Republic, but after being overrun by droids, it was abandoned. Many years later, the Rebels scavenged the base.
I added the second floor and i still need a planet for this base, but the planet cannont be Naboo, Alderran or Endor. And the planet must have forests.

The main base paper was copied from a piece of scrapbook paper. I had to scan and re-print my piece of paper because I didn't have enough sheets to make the 4x4 grid=16 sheets of paper. These print out at about 8x8- making the inner base about 32 inches square. I overwrote a prayer onto this base using a letter stencil and some silver metallic ink. I sort of adapted the common prayer said at funerals, the one with the line that says "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust."

After a wind storm shredded our Big Agnes tent in Moab we have decided to go with a Marmot. A better design allows it to handle the wind and rain better.

Smart Contract Analytics (SCA) Platform is based on AI / ML and specifically uses NLP and pattern recognition to process the contracts and extract the metadata. The platform is hosted on the AWS cloud that takes advantage of all security features that AWS provides along with the high availability and scalability features with GDPR compliances.
Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning capabilities:
The SCA Platform uses Deep learning Neural Network models like Bi-LSTM, CNN, and other models that leverage state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) based modeling techniques such as Word2Vec and Bi-directional Encoder Representations with Transformers to develop a semantic understanding of the document contents and further extract relevant entities and clauses.
Product features:
1) NLP and deep learning techniques for extracting metadata
2) Export the extracted data to Excel or client desired format and push the extracted data into any CLM or downstream system
3) Support of foreign languages (currently supported languages include Spanish and German)
and rest of the languages are in the planned roadmap
4) Generate dynamic ML models based on the contract type
5) The Platform has adaptors to various data sources to obtain legacy documents (FTP, Google Drive, SharePoint, dropbox, box, S3, and others, etc.)
6) The Platform can segregate the contracts based on the type of the contract (i.e. MSA, NDA, and SOW, etc.)
7) Ability to rename the contracts – standardize naming conventions if needed.
8) Document OCR capability with the ability to convert images, unsearchable pdf and scanned documents into text.
9) Metadata configurable
10) Integrated Quality Control tools for verification and validation of extracted clauses/metadata.
11) Compare two executed contracts of the same type to show the differences
12) Compare executed contracts with the standard template at a section/clause level
13) Notifications / Alerts engine that sends out notifications to email/text messages ( for example contracts expiring in 30/60/90 days, contracts that have an “Auto Renew” clause or Contracts that are not countersigned, and several others based on the configured attributes.
14) Show all the contracts executed with a specific Vendor ( or by account) in a hierarchical manner
15) Hierarchical mapping of the contracts assuming enough linkage attributes are available within the executed contracts or tracked in a CLM system
16) Open API that can be integrated with any 3rd party systems
Analytics capabilities:
The Smart Contract Analytics Platform comes with the following out of the box analytics capabilities based on the metadata extracted from the documents:
• number of contracts that are coming up for renewal by period (30 /60/90 days)
• Number of Contracts with Net payment terms as 30 days, 45 days, and 90 days, etc.
• Number of SOW’s / MSAs / Other Types of Contracts by the supplier
• Show contracts by the specified metadata (ex: “tell me how many contracts have clause ‘Indemnity’.”)
• number of contracts that have the “Auto Renew” option
• number of contracts that have an Insurance Liability clause with a specified $ amount
• Several others based on metadata and meta fields.
