Akashic3 Review – Good Opportunity Or Big Scam?
I have all the facts about this business in my Akashic3 Review so you can learn the full truth about it!
I explain in my Review of Akashic3 before you.
What The Heck Is Akashic3?
On the Akashic3 website, you won't find any real background information to help paint a picture for who's behind this company or how it came to be. There's no mention of who founded Akashic3, where in the world it's based out of, when it was founded, etc.
The domain name (akashic3.com) was just registered earlier this month on August 9, 2017, but since the registration was done privately, it's impossible to see where it took place or who the owner of the domain is.
For those of you that have been following my reviews for some time now, you'll know that opitimusX is an alias for Sherm Mason.
Sherm Mason has created a plethora of schemes and scams in the MLM underbelly over the past few years, and he first got started in 2011 with Magnetic Builder.
Magnetic Builder was a chain recruitment scheme that saw affiliates throw in $29.95 a pop, and as you might expect, it didn't take long for it to flop.
Sherm went silent for a while after Magnetic Builder collapsed, but he surfaced his head once more in 2015 with the launches of Paradise Payments, Magnetic Gratitude, Summer Fun Matrix, 3×9 Millionaire Machine, and Instant Pay Christmas.
Following this up in 2016, Sherm Mason created Elite Pay Alliance, 5 Dolla Money Lines, Adstraordinary, and Cash Rally GPS.
So far in 2017, Sherm Mason has already launched Easy Odds, Just Got Bitcoin, 1 Big Bitcoin Team, Stack My Bits, BitQwik, and I Like Bits.
All of the MLM opportunities that Mason has launched in 2017 have either collapsed or flopped immediately after they were initially launched.
What Are The Akashic3 Products?
With Akashic3, not a single thing is being marketed or sold to retail customs. There aren't any products or services to speak of, and in the world of MLM, that's never a good thing to see.
This sort of setup results in there being a total lack of any retail sales activity, and consequently, it means that affiliates only have the affiliate membership to offer to folks that are interested in joining.
What About The Compensation Plan For Akashic3?
As for the compensation plan, affiliates have the chance to buy positions within a matrix system after initially joining. Matrix positions cost 0.00369 BTC each, and the sizes used with Akashic3 include 6×3, 9×3, and 12×3.
If you'd like to join Matrix 1, you'll need to hand over the 0.00369 BTC cost. Once you do this, you have the ability to earn $2 for every passive position that you earn and $6 for each direct position you get filled on level 1. Level 2 pays $3 for passive and $4 for direct, and you earn $1 on passive and direct for level 3.
Moving on to Matrix 2, affiliates earn $9 for each passive position filled and $21 for direct ones in level 1, $9 for passive and $15 for direct in level 2, and level 3 pays out $3 for passive positions filled and $6 for direct ones.
Lastly, Matrix 3 pays $18 for passive positions and $45 for direction positions in level 1, $58.90 for passive and $25 for direct in level 2, and level 3 pays $9 for both passive and direct positions that are filled.
Along with this, Akashic3 also offers a matching bonus for every level in every matrix.
What's The Cost Of Joining Akashic3?
If you're interested in joining Akashic3, you'll need to pay that initial cost of 0.00369 BTC in order to get started.
So, Is There A Akashic3 Scam Going On?
So, like with all business opportunities, you will hear things around the internet about there being a Akashic3 scam or something like that.
Is there a Akashic3 scam going on or is this legit?
Well, to be honest, Akashic3 is not really a proper scam or anything like that.
Finally, My Akashic3 Review And Conclusion!
If Akashic3 sounds like yet another Ponzi cycler scheme, that's because it is. The only real difference between it and other ones that have launched is the fact that Sherm Mason has concocted a system that allows him to solicit even more cash out of unsuspecting victims.
Commissions are reduced for passive spillover, and as such, Mason gets to pocket the difference all for himself. And, in addition to this, he's also claiming the money coming into the positions at the top of the matrix that he's likely preloaded to claim the most earrings.
Aside from that, this functions like every other Ponzi scheme that's ever been.
Affiliates will join with the hope of getting rich quick, but in reality, the only person earning any money is the admin behind it. In this case, that person is Sherm Mason.
Once Akashic3 inevitably collapses, most people who are wrapped up with the company will end up losing out. Mason will move on to launch his next scheme, and anyone who lost money with Akashic3 will likely never be able to make it back.
Hopefully, you have found my Akashic3 Review useful.
I wanted to give a lot of details because there have been other reviews of Akashic3 which were a bit thin on the detail side.

Trump: Quotes from Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley 'horrible' 1 hour ago
Home Politico McConnell tightens grip with Senate GOP amid shutdown fallout
McConnell tightens grip with Senate GOP amid shutdown fallout
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has much more to think about politically than just opening up the government and continuing on with business as usual. | M. Scott Mahaskey/POLITICO
A handful of Senate Republicans are expressing frustration with their party's handling of the ongoing government shutdown. But Mitch McConnell is a long way from facing any sort of rebellion.
The Senate majority leader is standing firm in his resolve to not move a muscle on any government funding bill that would not have the president's approval. That's earned him scorn among Democrats given that he endorsed a funding bill that didn't include the president's much-sought additional border wall funding of more than $ 5 billion in December.
But aside from some rank-and-file Republicans like Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Cory Gardner of Colorado who say Congress should again pass spending bills that don't provide additional wall funding, McConnell's allies say he's facing little pressure to change his stance as the longest shutdown in history continues.
"They're going to do what they need to do and advocate for what they believe their constituents want," said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who served as McConnell's deputy for six years. "But I don't think that should be confused with what Sen. McConnell's calculus is, which is: not to go through this effort of passing something the president won't sign and then going through a potential veto override and all the conflict that would cause."
He added: "All of us would like to reopen the government but not in so doing capitulate our responsibility for border security."
With Trump now opposed to those bills for being light on border security funding, most Senate Republicans say they are too. And as leader of the Senate GOP, McConnell sees it as his job to stand firm behind that response and absorb all the Democratic attacks coming his way as they portray him as the only impediment to getting out of the shutdown.
There is some action behind the scenes as McConnell bides his time and waits for the president to cut a deal with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, negotiations that have been descending rapidly in recent weeks. Rank-and-file GOP senators met among themselves last week and then with centrist Democrats on Monday hoping to break the deadlock.
Yet even the senators who have proposed reopening the government without additional border wall funding don't fault McConnell. Gardner is up for reelection in 2020 in blue Colorado and has been talking to senators in both parties about ending the shutdown, but he said that McConnell is "trying to find a way forward, just like the rest of us are."
"Why isn't there a rebellion on the Democrats' side?" Gardner said, highlighting the party's lockstep opposition to giving Trump more than $ 1.3 billion for fencing.
"That's a good question," added Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) as he walked by Gardner in the Senate halls.
But McConnell sets the Senate agenda and Democrats say he is shirking his duty as Senate leader by not bucking Trump. They insist that there are 67 votes, and at least 20 Republicans, who would be willing to override the president's veto of a spending bill that doesn't include the additional wall funding that Trump seeks.
Schumer said on Monday that McConnell is "out to lunch" in criticizing Pelosi, whose House majority is passing funding bills that the president won't sign.
"It seems clear to nearly everybody but Leader McConnell that Congress needs to move forward without the president," Schumer said on Monday.
The GOP leader had just taken to the floor to attack Pelosi for deeming the wall "immoral," which he declared is "not a serious statement." It was an attack line that should please the president, who is touting GOP unity at every chance he gets. And it was a floor speech that showed McConnell is not even thinking about giving Democrats what they want as he said that the "speaker of the House has decided that opposing President Trump comes before the security of our borders."
Still, McConnell hates shutdowns and knows they are a political loser. He repeatedly said his majority was unlikely to oversee a lengthy shutdown, and he called a far shorter impasse in 2018 the "Schumer shutdown." Democrats have returned the favor, trying to saddle McConnell with just as much blame as Trump.
poster="http://v.politico.com/images/1155968404/201901/151/1155968404_5989236660001_5989055369001-vs.jpg?pubId=1155968404″
McConnell "doesn't want a shutdown. He's facilitating the president's shutdown. I hope there's some give. I think we have the votes not only to pass these bills, but probably override these vetoes," said Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.). "The president looks like he's planning to stay this way forever, and I don't think McConnell and the Senate can let that happen."
At the same time, McConnell has much more to think about politically than just opening up the government and continuing on with business as usual. Funding the government without a border security increase would amount to all-out war on Trump by undercutting one of his chief political goals, risking ire from the GOP base for McConnell, Gardner and other Senate Republicans up for reelection in 2020.
And it would turn into a brutal intraparty fight between the Senate GOP and a president that most Republicans say the Senate can't win. They do not believe there are the votes to override the president, even though the Senate passed a spending bill without new border wall money in December.
"You've got a president that has got to agree to something, or else you have to have two-thirds vote in the House and the Senate. And we're not going to get that," said Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). "I know it is not popular what Mitch is doing. Everybody wants to jump in and do something. But he's correct."
The bipartisan group of senators on Monday discussed trying to reopen the government and then negotiate on immigration, according to Democrats, a similar proposal to last week's discussions among Republicans. Trump shot down the proposal early Monday,
And even though McConnell is disengaged from the talks to try and strike a bipartisan compromise intended to win Trump over, Republicans involved in the talks don't fault him for it. And most of them make clear that even as they keep talking, they certainly aren't breaking away from the president — or from McConnell.
"Democrats are forgetting people elected the president. He's made a reasonable request, and we have a Republican Senate and a Republican president," said Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), who said he "bent over backwards" to accommodate former President Barack Obama. "Instead of focusing on what they don't want to give the president, they should focus on what they want to add to the president's request."

The fact that it's not working when you create a setup is likely totally unrelated. If your using Click Once then there are extra steps required. There are numerous issues on the GitHub project page that cover the issue.

https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/1314
https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/500
If your using another installer then the general information is likely still relevant, you need to have the installer include the unmanaged dependencies.

The SS150XL Single Deck System is manufactured by Link Manufacturing, which has developing innovative products for the transportation industry for over 30 years. The SS150XL Single Deck System offers the same great features as the SS150 Single Deck System, but the SS150XL also includes four casket rollers. It is a high impact ramp system designed to protect a vehicle's floor and bumper, and it makes handling cots, stretchers & caskets easier and safer. The SS150XL works with most minivans, full size vans & SUVs (please see vehicle compatibility below). It has a sealed fiberglass deck surface and custom aluminum extrusion design. An adjustable bier pin is included with SS150XL Single Deck Systems being used in Suburbans, Yukon XLs and full size vans. A stationary bier pin and an adjustable bier pin are included with SS150XL Single Deck Systems being used in minivans.

Five thousand years ago, there came to earth a magical being called Krishna, who brought about innumerable miracles for the good of mankind. Humanity despaired of its fate if the Blue God were to die but was reassured that he would return in a fresh avatar when needed in the eventual Dark Age—the Kaliyug.
In this heart-stopping tale, the arrival of a murderer who executes his gruesome and brilliantly thought-out schemes in the name of God is the first clue to a sinister conspiracy to expose an ancient secret—Krishna's priceless legacy to mankind.
Historian Ravi Mohan Saini must breathlessly dash from the submerged remains of Dwarka and the mysterious lingam of Somnath to the icy heights of Mount Kailash, in a quest to discover the cryptic location of Krishna's most prized possession. From the sand-washed ruins of Kalibangan to a Vrindavan temple destroyed by Aurangzeb, Saini must also delve into antiquity to prevent a gross miscarriage of justice.

Atarsal coalition is an abnormal connection that develops between two bones in the back of the foot (the tarsal bones). This abnormal connection—which can be composed of bone, cartilage, or fibrous tissue—may lead to limited motion and pain in one or both feet. The tarsal bones include the calcaneus (heel bone), talus, navicular, cuboid, and cuneiform bones. These bones work together to provide the motion necessary for normal foot function. Tarsal coalition is a condition most often caused by a hereditary defect that occurs during fetal development and results in the individual bones not forming properly. Less common causes of tarsal coalition include infection, arthritis, or a previous injury to the area.
A tarsal coalition is difficult to identify until a child's bones begin to mature. Diagnosis includes obtaining information about the duration and development of the symptoms as well as a thorough examination of the foot and ankle. The findings of this examination will differ according to the severity and location of the coalition. In addition to examining the foot, the surgeon will order x-rays. Additional diagnostic imaging tests—such as a CT scan or MRI—may also be needed.
Oral medications.Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, may be helpful in reducing the pain and inflammation.
Physical therapy.Physical therapy may include massage, range-ofmotion exercises, and ultrasound therapy.
Steroid injections.An injection of cortisone into the affected joint reduces the inflammation and pain. Sometimes more than one injection is necessary.
Orthotic devices.Custom orthotic devices can be beneficial in distributing weight away from the joint, limiting motion at the joint, and relieving pain.
Immobilization.Sometimes the foot is immobilized to give the affected area a rest. The foot is placed in a cast or cast boot, and crutches are used to avoid placing weight on the foot.
Injection of an anesthetic agent.Injection of an anesthetic into the leg may be used to relax spasms and is often performed prior to immobilization.
the joint. The foot and ankle surgeon will determine the best surgical approach based the patient's age, condition, arthritic changes, and activity level.


We gear up for the launch of our new website which has been months in the making and a real labour of love. So what's new? Well we are afraid that information has to stay under wraps for now suffice to say that our existing site has had a major overhaul, in fact its had more surgery than The Real Housewives of Orange County!
At BMS, we don't just work hard… we play hard too. We will be flying the Group BMS flag at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza next week so come and join us for drinks andcanapés at Laterale Destra C from Thursday 5th to Sunday 8th.


The museum has a large collection of pre-war cars. We have oldtimers from several big European brands such as Peugeot, Renault and Citroën. Apart from those we also have some less known brands. For example, have you ever heard of Singer, MG or DKW? Finally we have several American oldtimers from Ford and Chrysler.
Our collection will show you the roots of the early history of automobiles in a beautiful fashion. Through stories we will introduce you with this history. We will tell you about a bitter rivalry between a French and a Dutch car manufacturer, the first car accident with fatal consequences in the Netherlands, the first Bond car, the success story of Henry Ford and many more.
Of course we will also be able to tell you about all the technical details. Learn how early car manufacturers were able to use clever designs and technical innovations to lower taxation on their cars. Or how the discussion on traffic safety led to new developments. Some examples are the change from oil lighting to carbide and eventually to the first car with electric lighting or technical innovations in traction that led to the first car with front-wheel- drive.
The above mentioned details only give away a small glimpse of what you can expect from our oldtimers. You hope you will visit us to explore the rest of our unique collection!

BakBone claims disk space reporting breakthrough
Chris Mellor (Techworld.com) 14 July, 2006 11:12
BakBone has introduced centralized reporting for distributed NetVault backup jobs and a disk space analysis tool able to send file pick lists direct to NetVault. NetVault: Report Manager 3 has two modules to carry out these functions.
NetVault: Report Manager for Backup provides centralized reporting for NetVault backup jobs running on Windows, Unix and Linux servers across a business.
NetVault: Report Manager for Disk Space reports on what files exist in what server disk stores across an enterprise. From a single screen admin staff can identify files to be archived and stored on less expensive drives or offline on tape.
They can generate jobs for NetVault to move, copy, delete or archive indicated files.
Admin staff can also drill down into a cross-enterprise backup report to identify problems on any NetVault backup job, drive or media.
Chip Olsen, a senior systems engineer for Woodgrain Millwork, said: "It now takes five minutes to review a consolidated report, whereas it used to take more than two hours a week to complete the review process."
Andrew Martin, strategic alliance's director for BakBone, said: "There are other backup reporters out there. Ours is purely for BakBone. Others are generic and go across other products, e.g, Bocada and WysDM."
"There are other storage resource reporting tools (disk space analyzers) in the marketplace. We've hit on the right combination of simplicity of use, providing powerful and usable information and a great price point with a product that goes across Windows, Unix and Linux systems. The combination is unique, particularly at that price point."
Asked if sysadmins need to have extra skills to use it, he said: "I don't think so. Typically they know what they want to know about data; they know what they are looking for. We've made it very easy to find that out in, for example, environments with 50 million files or more."
Queried about the applicability of the 50 million files number, he said: "It's absolutely realistic. Even in the small and medium enterprise area it's not unusual. We've worked with a county council which has 80 million files."
BakBone's NetVault: Report Manager version 3.0 is immediately available for Windows, Linux, Solaris and Snap Guardian OS server operating environments.
