Manchester City Transfer News
Man City transfer news RECAP mcfc breaking news and Mateo Kovacic updates
Manchester City prepare for their upcoming pre-season tour as Benjamin Mendy celebrates World Cup victory.
Simon BajkowskiSenior Manchester City writer
Manchester City are planning for their upcoming tour of America with the squad due to fly out early this week. New signing Riyad Mahrez will be on the plane as Pep Guardiola's side fly out, however Jorginho will not be there after snubbing a move over the weekend in favour of Chelsea.
The club have no intention, at the moment, of finding another midfielder, despite being heavily linked with Real Madrid star Mateo Kovacic.
Guardiola is said to be happy with his squad and the club have pointed to his track record of switching players from other positions - which means Fabian Delph, Ilkay Gundogan and Danilo are on the frame to be understudies to Fernandinho.
In terms of other news, Benjamin Mendy has been busy celebrating after winning the World Cup with France.

City to get World Cup windfall
Domestic clubs are paid compensation for their players being at the World Cup. And, with such a strong contingent going, City get more than any other Premier League club. Here's the top five, according to the Mirror.
1. Manchester City - £3.9m (16 players)
2. Chelsea - £3.5m (11 players)
3. Tottenham - £3.4m (12 players)
4. Manchester United - £2.9m (11 players)
5. Liverpool - £2.1m (7 players)

What a player he turned into under the City coach.
"First of all, he meant a lot to me. He took me to another level.
"Under him, I knew I could play a lot of positions. He is one of the best coaches in the world, if not maybe the best from what I have seen.
"He bought a new style, not only in our team. We learned a lot about football and the style we played was great.
"We didn't win the Champions League but we were very unlucky in that period. But the style we played was great."

Do City need to sign another midfielder?
The current stance from City is that they do not, having missed out on Jorginho. What do you reckon?
City might be forced into fielding this team at Arsenal
Manchester City's marketing suits will have been delighted to see so many of the club's star names contesting the later stages of the World Cup.
The Blues set a new record by having 11 players in the quarter-finals of the Fifa tournament, all helping to boost the club's profile.
But the downside is that City have planned to give their star names a minimum of three weeks' holiday each to recharge their batteries after a punishing domestic season followed by a tough programme in Russia.
Full story.
Real Madrid 'set Mateo Kovacic price-tag' amid Man City speculation
Manchester City have been told how much they would need to spend to sign Mateo Kovacic this summer, according to reports.
The Daily Star suggest Real Madrid will only sanction a sale for Kovacic if a club can match their £80m valuation in the coming months.
The proposed fee would therefore represent a club-record deal for the Blues, eclipsing the £60m spent to recruit Riyad Mahrez earlier this week.
Brahim Diaz speaks about his future
Manchester City starlet Brahim Diaz has revealed that he will stick with the Blues next season despite rumours swirling around about his future.
The 18-year-old Spanish midfielder was moved up to the City first team squad by Pep Guardiola last season – and says that at the moment there are no plans for him to go out on loan in the coming campaign.
Diaz had been linked with a season's switch to City's sister club Girona to give him some top-flight experience in La Liga.

Next time you host a party or teach an essential oil class, consider making this dessert for a refreshment. It's the perfect size for small individual servings and allows each guest to experience the essential oils. Your guests can even take home the shot glass as a little souvenir to remind them of your event! These cute shot glasses are pretty inexpensive and can be used for a lot of different things! You can even print out this pdf of 15 Unique Ways to Use a Shot Glass.
Press mixture into the bottoms of the shot glasses. Distribute evenly—about a tablespoon per glass.
Whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Whip cream separately until it gets thick (be careful not to over whip!); then fold into cheese mixture.
Pour into individual shot glasses, and chill.
Loved these. I used ginger snap cookies instead of vanilla wafers. Looking forward to next time splitting the cream cheese recipe and doing some peppermint/choc chip and some orange/dark choc chip.
What are some other options besides lime? More holiday themed perhaps??
You could turn it into a plain cheesecake with a cinnamon maple whipped cream topping. Try leaving out the lime essential oil and lime juice and add a little vanilla extract instead. Then when you whip the cream, start whipping until you feel it set up a little. Then add a little maple syrup (maybe about 1/2 Tbsp.) and stir in a toothpick of cinnamon oil before continuing to whip until it thickens. Be careful to not over whip the cream. You could also add a little cinnamon, clove or nutmeg (maybe a toothpick each) to the vanilla wafer crust.
Another option might be to make it into a Mint Chocolate Cheesecake. Try replacing the lime essential oil and lime juice for peppermint essential oil and chocolate chunks. You may even want to substitute the vanilla wafers for a chocolate or mint chocolate wafers or cookies to make a chocolate crust.
If you try either of these variations, please let us know how it turned out!

Over the past 10 years, more and more young people have made their way through the turnstiles in the EFL.
Junior season ticket sales have increased by a staggering 37% since 2007, and with clubs are continuing to find innovative ways to attract fans and their families to matches, 20% of all EFL club match attendees are now under the age of 16.
With the EFL Family Excellence Awards celebrating its 10th Anniversary this season, the EFL is recognising this record breaking rise by showcasing 10 of the best examples of family engagement and innovation across the decade. With Doncaster Rovers already being recognised for their efforts off the pitch, Wolverhampton Wanderers are the next club to be included in our '10 of the Best'.
Wolves have consistently offered a matchday experience that impresses families and young fans at Molineux, particularly with the strategic introduction of the 'Wolves 4 Family Football' scheme. Introduced to attract younger fans to matches, the initiative has seen the club brand sections of their stadium and programme for families as well as introduce numerous activities for kids.
Prior to a matchday visit, families are offered the option of booking car parking in the family car park, as well as being sent pre-match information that includes; the cost of a matchday programme, journey time from the train station to the stadium and predicted weather forecast, all of which makes visiting Molineux as a family as stress-free an experience as possible.
Priced at £40 per family, Wolves 4 Family Football has attracted over 6,000 family members this season with Molineux offering over 65,000 dedicated family seats throughout the season.
Inside the stadium the club has consistently offered unique magic moments, where they have left envelopes for young fans on seats to introduce them to the club with an activity pack, a certificate for their first game saying 'My First Match', as well as a scarf. Combined with great mascot engagement, the club really does work hard to make the experience stand-out for families.
Membership Manager Kerri Davies spoke in detail about the family strategy at Wolves and the opportunities they provide for young fans and families.
She said: "With 'Wolves 4 Family Football' we offer a designated area for activities to take place on the concourse. Often a lot of children are at their first match, in which case we like to do something special for them. It started off as just a poster on the chair, but we gradually introduced more so now they get a Wolves scarf and a welcome certificate.
A 37% increase in junior attendances across the EFL is testament to the efforts and evolving attitudes of clubs to attract new fans to their grounds with improved matchday experiences for all ages. These efforts are once again set to be recognised by the EFL's Family Excellence Awards - an initiative rewarding clubs that deliver an outstanding experience for families.
Davies continued: "We've had a steady growth with our young attendances. We run a Youth Parliament and listen to the ideas that our juniors have so it's a mixture of old and young coming together to think of new activities.
The 10th anniversary Family Excellence Award winners for the 2016/17 season will be announced at the end of April.

Were The Worshipers of the Egyptian God Set Following a God or a Demon?
Set, sometimes known as Seth, but also as Sutekh or Seteh is an ancient Egyptian god depicted with the head of an unknown animal and referred to by Egyptologists as a 'Set animal'. The ancient Egyptians believed that Set was the god of chaos, the desert, storms, and darkness.
Set was one of the most ancient gods of the ancient Egyptian pantheon, and is believed to have been worshipped as early as the Pre-Dynastic period. The earliest representation of Set may be found on a carved ivory comb from the Amratian period (4000 to 3500 BC). Set was worshipped primarily in Upper Egypt, for instance at Nubt (known today as Kom Ombo). Originally, he was believed to be a benevolent god who lived in the Underworld and was responsible for helping the dead reach heaven, though he was later regarded as an evil god during the conflict with Horus.
Set's Fall from Grace
According to one view, Set became associated with the Hyksos invaders who conquered the Nile Delta and therefore, by the time of the Second Intermediate period, Set had become regarded as a malevolent deity. Another theory suggests that there was a battle between the followers of Set and those of Horus at some point in time. The followers of Horus triumphed over those of Set, thus resulting in Set's demonization.
From the Greenfield Papyrus - sky goddess Nut with earth god Geb reclining beneath (Public Domain )
The conflict between Set and Horus is a well-known ancient Egyptian myth. According to the creation myth of the Great Ennead of Heliopolis, Set was the son of Geb and Nut, and the brother of Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys, who was also his wife. Osiris became the ruler of Egypt, and Set, who was jealous of his brother, plotted to murder him through trickery. Although Set succeeds in killing Osiris, Isis (the wife of Osiris) managed to revive her husband with magic long enough to become pregnant with a son, Horus. When Horus grew up, he took revenge upon Set, was victorious, and became the new ruler of Egypt.
The conflict between Horus and Set involves numerous episodes in which they sought to outdo each other. One of the most peculiar of these involved each of them trying to get their semen into their opponent. According to the myth, Set attempted to prove his dominance by seducing Horus and having sexual intercourse with him. Horus agreed to this, provided that Set gave him some of his strength. When Set ejaculated, however, Horus caught the semen in his hands and flung it into the river. Horus then placed his own semen on some lettuce, Set's favorite food, which his rival ate. Set and Horus then appeared before the other gods, during which the former asserted that his semen was in Horus, and that he was therefore the victor. When the gods called Set's semen to testify, they found that it was not in Horus, but in the river. Horus then claimed that his semen was in Set, and when called to give evidence, the semen duly did so.
At the end of Set's conflict with Horus, the god of chaos was banished to the desert.
And Yet Set's Strength Was Once Admired
Set's connection to the desert may have symbolized his sterility. In one myth, Nephthys, Set's wife, was frustrated by her husband's lack of sexual interest in her. She disguised herself as the more attractive Isis, but due to his infertility, Set showed no sign of interest either. When Osiris mistook Nephthys for Isis, they had intercourse which resulted in the birth of Anubis. As the god of the desert, Set was considered to be the antithesis of everything that represented life.

Whilst many myths regarded Set to be a force of evil, this was not always the case. In some myths, the gods used Set's strength and power for good. The best known of these is Set's role as a defender of Ra's sun boat. Each night as the sun boat made its journey through the Underworld, Set fought Apep, the chaos serpent. Set is often depicted as standing on the prow of the sun boat, and spearing Apep.
Set's Modern Day Revival
In modern times, the worship of Set has been 'revived' by the Temple of Set. This religious movement was founded by Michael Aquino, a member of the Church of Satan, in 1975. Aquino claimed that Satan had appeared to him in the image of Set during a magical ritual, thus leading to the establishment of the Temple of Set.

Not only did Set defend the boat of Ra but he did it with the aid of Horus and Osiris, as well as many other gods. Strange that Set would later be called an ally of Apophis.

TriRail chief says downtown Miami link is 'going to happen'
November 10, 2015 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by wpengine
Despite lingering questions about funding, Tri-Rail trains are expected to begin operating between downtown Miami and Palm Beach County by 2017, the commuter rail service's chief said Wednesday.
"It's going to happen," said Jack Stephens, executive director of Broward-based South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, SFRTA. "We're looking at having it operational in the first or second quarter of 2017."
The authority is still seeking a large chunk of the funding for the project from the Florida Department of Transportation. But Stephens' statements, in interviews with el Nuevo Herald, the Miami Herald and at a Beacon Council transportation conference in Miami on Wednesday, marked the first concrete indication that the Tri-Rail plan to bring its passenger trains to downtown Miami will be a reality. Previously, Stephens had spoken about the plan optimistically, but made it clear that the service had not secured total funding to implement it.
The service, which is expected to increase Tri-Rail ridership by 2,000 passengers, is significant because it will provide the first commuter rail link to downtown Miami from Palm Beach and Broward counties. A large number of employees who work in downtown Miami government and private offices live in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
During his Beacon Council presentation, and later in interviews, Stephens said most of the roughly $70 million that Tri-Rail needed to execute the plan had been committed by a variety of agencies and governments in Miami-Dade. Contributors include Miami-Dade County, the city of Miami, two Miami community redevelopment agencies and the Downtown Development Authority.
"We got all the local money," said Stephens.
Stephens, however, acknowledged that Tri-Rail was still waiting for one last hard commitment for roughly $20 million from the FDOT, which had said it would contribute money once the local authorities approved their own commitments. Stephens said one issue holding up the state is an insurance complication because of the interaction of private and public rail passengers on about a four-mile stretch of line near 71st Street.
He said state lawmakers may need to address the issue through legislation.
"They have not released the money," Stephens said. "They haven't said no, which is good. But they've said there are some additional requirements before they invest the money in this project."
The transportation authority has sought the funding in order to begin building its downtown station platforms either in the fall or by early next year, with the expectation that its trains will start rolling into and out of downtown within two years. Stephens said he expects that the state will want to participate in the project once they're comfortable, but said he will recommend to his board that the authority move forward with construction with or without money from the Florida Department of Transportation.
"I would hope construction would be able to be begun this fall, but no later than March or April next year," Stephens said. "We're really looking at having it done and operational, if everything goes the way we expect it, the first or second quarter of 2017."
Stephens has said that once the Miami downtown-Palm Beach County service is operational, Tri-Rail will assign 50 weekday trains to run its two services.

Spain Delegation COMMISSIONER DANIELLA LEVINE CAVA LAUNCHES SMALL BUSINESS ACADEMY


In 1861, the population of Kingston Jews was just five. By 1920, due to the mass exodus from eastern and central Europe, the population grew to 303. These immigrants were generally of modest means. They were able to carve out a living peddling and progressed to being store owners. In the 1960s, the dramatic expansion of universities brought unprecedented numbers of Jewish professionals, mainly academics, to Kingston. Many of their grown children moved to larger centres, but newcomers replaced them. Currently, the Kingston Jewish community is 900 strong.
On the 19th of May, 1947, the Jews of Kingston, at a well-attended meeting, decided to form a Jewish Community Council. At that first meeting, Rabbi Renov said, "Our first goal is to achieve unity – unity of thought and action." Under the leadership of Sheldon Cohen, the Council became the voice of the Jewish people in Kingston and the nucleus of Jewish life. The new organization served as the coordinating agency for Kingston's Jewish organizations, and monitored and confronted anti-Semitism.
Our name changed to The Kingston Jewish Council (KJC). in […]. Our purpose remained the same: to strengthen and celebrate Jewish life in Kingston. In support of this goal, we facilitate social, cultural, religious, and educational activities that bring the community together. Our events are often family oriented and child friendly. Indeed, the future of the Kingston Jewish Community is with our children. Today, Kingston is proud to offer two congregations; Beth Israel (which recently changed it's affiliation to Conservative), and the reform Iyr HaMelech, members of both congregations are automatically members of KJC. Kingston is facing the same challenges that all communities are facing how do we attract more members and increase engagement. At this time it is very important for KJC to follow in the footsteps of our previous leaders and once again become the voice of the Jewish people in Kingston and serve as the coordinating agency for Kingston's Jewish organizations and be the organization to stand up and confront any anti-semitism in Kingston as well as promote the right of Israel to exist in peace. The original words of Rabbi Renov "our first goal is to achieve unity – unity of thought and action" are as important today as they were 70 years ago. If you would like to become a member of the KJC, or want more information please click on contact us and email us.


A bloodied, shirtless, seemingly deranged prophet bursts into a backwoods cabin and then bursts into verse in "The Gospel of Cyrus According to Cyrus."
For those of us who suspect that it's a thin line between a religious visionary and a psychotic, there's "The Gospel of Cyrus According to Cyrus," a one-man, one-musician show at Theater for the New City.
Haggard, shirtless, bloodied, with a look of violence in his eyes, Cyrus (Jessejames Locorriere) bursts into an old backwoods cabin as if the hounds are at his heels. He grips a long flintlock rifle and holds it firmly against his groin while he dares God and man to bring on his final destruction — not the last time that sexual and religious fanatacism will be intertwined in this play. And he does so, we quickly notice, in rhymed couplets.
Cyrus recounts his hardscrabble childhood, his dysfunctional upbringing and his inspiration by God. God has given him a strange but nicely achievable mission: get drunk and stay that way. This doesn't rank with truth and salvation as personal missions from God, but it does somehow bring him a fanatical following. Of course, having a fanatical following can be a dangerous thing if they turn on you, which seems to be what has happened to the deranged, gun-toting, whiskey-swilling Cyrus.
Our boy not only spouts rhyming verse, he also sings the occasional country tune to further dramatize his shocking tale, with accompaniment by singer-guitarist Rowland Stebbins. The music, along with the timeless quality of the pre-technology shack and the antique rifle, adds to the all-American flavor of this peculiar but evocative fable.

BVI Private Trust Companies
Tuesday, 03 March 2015 / Published in Corporate Services_news, Estate Planning_news, Fanny Evans, Publications
By Fanny Evans, Executive Director and General Manager of MMG Trust (BVI) Corp.
Since the introduction of the Private Trust Company (PTC) in the BVI, this vehicle has become attractive to act as the Trustee, Protector or Administrator of a trust without the need to apply for an exemption or to apply for a trust license under the BVI Banks and Trust Companies Act.
In order to be qualified as a PTC, there are certain key requirements to comply with:
The PTC must be a fully compliant BVI BC.
The ending of the company must be "Private Trust Company" or "PTC".
The Memorandum of Association must state that it is PTC.
Must have a Class I license holder as a Registered Agent, which Morgan & Morgan (MM) has.
Must be engaged in "unremunerated trust business" to act as Trustee, Protector or Administrator of a trust, or for a group of trusts which are related (for example, "a family trust").
"Unremunerated trust business" means that no payment is received in respect of services that would constitute trust business. Payment in respect of costs and expenses incurred by the PTC is not regarded as remuneration.
A single PTC may act as Trustee for several trusts as long as it qualifies as being part of a related group of trusts through persons who are connected by family relationships. Because one of the qualifying requirements of a PTC is that where multiple trusts are concerned, the trusts need to be related, it is therefore imperative that the Beneficiaries and the Settlor are identified within the Trust Deed in such a way as to make the determination of the relationships possible.
Is it possible to convert a IBC to a PTC?
Yes. IBC's will be required to disapply the Transitional Provisions of the BC Act as a first step towards converting to a PTC. Where the IBC acted as Trustee under the previous exemptions, the resolutions authorizing the conversion to BC must also contain relevant information stating that the Company was appointed Trustee pursuant to the details of the relevant Trust Deed.
Is it possible to convert a BC to a PTC?
Yes. A BVI Business Company may convert to a PTC by filing a PTC Memorandum of Association. The resolution authorizing the conversion must also state the details of any Trust for which the PTC is to act. Any subsequent Trusts must also be authorized by the PTC by resolution.

Home / Archive by Category "Workshops"
I usually dont do this but I thought it was important to show that even people you might not think of as spiritually awake or aware of what is really happening on earth, know about it.
You can read the entire article below.
In order to build a new foundation there, each of us must untangle ourselves from the mental/mind paradigm and unplug from the third dimensional matrix and web of mass/duality consciousness.
Each set of these powerful mastery activations help liberate us from being tied into the prevailing mass/duality consciousness of humanity so that you can get your world service work out into the world.
Have you noticed the energies? I have, and any more have contacted me to see what is happening. I have been having crazy dreams. Last night I had to choose between 3 puppies.
They were as big as hamsters and one was black, one white and one was yellow. I wanted the yellow one but didn't known if i had enough money.
They told me that was ok, I only had to put 10% down. now I realize it had to do with this series.
The crazy thing was that when I walked out of the store I had this huge black dog on a leash. I went back right away and told them I didn't want that one, I wanted the yellow puppy.
They told me that was a bit more difficult as I had to sign and buy food and other things to make sure it would be treated well. I had no problems with that and finally walked out with the yellow puppy.
This morning I realize it had to do with this series of the Blue Moon, the Lion Codes and Aquarius Gate.
The yellow standing for the Lion, making sure I was fully prepared, fully aware of accepting and willing to use it for my spiritual path. The 10% is kind of a funny insert as its what people usually use in religion so connected to the Cosmic Christ Consciousness.
And I know this is just a taste of what is to come with these energies and activations. I hope many of you will join us for this series. I know it's going to be a big one as it doesn't happen often that I can remember a dream so vividly.
The night before this I remember dreaming of something that just kept repeating itself. So, if you want to get out of that part of your life, where you know everything is coming back, you keep repeating the same experiences, not just in this life time but also previous lifetimes.
This is a chance to get some of that released as well. Start your life path from a different starting point.
Creating what you want and need for you highest path. without the influence of past holding you back. More.
I hope many of you will join us in our series that's starts tonight. Let's move on from the past and create our new future. I can't wait to hear the experiences of others as this a fun ride to be on.
Combining our strength and power with innocence and purity, Cosmic Christ consciousness.
With the blue moon, the Aquarius gate and more coming up I have been working on finding out the real importance of all these things happening at this time.
Last night I was reminded about a time I went to the Edgar Cayce Center. The first thing I did when arriving at the center was to participate in a test to see if your able to see what they put in envelopes. I couldn't really get anything, the only thing I was able to see was a picture of a tree with a man, a lion and another animal. None of that was in the envelopes. But walking around the center I found a meditation room. In that room was a large picture of Jesus with a lion and lamb, the tree was in the background.
The lion is standing for our own strength and power, the lamb is innocence and purity. Combined they give us the Cosmic Christ consciousness. it gives us the opportunity to change our own experience in this reality and allows us to work from what many call the heart, but also the mind.
Many times, when we work from the heart and that information needs to be relayed to the mind before we can take actions. There is a time delay in this that can be very confusing, and we delay our actions.
The heart is about feelings and the right action or decision at that moment, the mind needs that information to give the final deciding voice to create the action.
Now our mind can give us lots of problems and indecision as we know the feelings but translating the feeling into he final action or decision can be difficult. We need to train our mind to immediately be able to translate a feeling into action. But this action needs to be the right action for everyone (including ourselves) involved.
For example, reacting to anger in an immediate action is something that is usually not beneficial for everyone, including yourself.
This process of unification between the mind and the heart, is exemplified by the lion and the lamb. We use our strength and power, the lion, in combination with innocence and purity, the lamb.
This brings me to what I was thinking about before I was thinking about the meaning of the Blue moon and the Aquarius gate, AWAKENING.
Many are awakening, and everyone is on different levels. Everyone is at a different level and each person will reach different levels. What most have in common is the feeling and need of serving others. Many will begin with a healing modality like reiki, others will start with tarot card, some will already see and feel spirits, there are many ways to awaken.
Yet at one point in time they will feel this need of service.
Now this is where the need of service sometimes gets in the way of the needs of ourselves. Sometimes our own awakening.
Most stay in the beginning stage as merging the spiritual realities with the physical realities is not always easy with all the outside influences going on.
Our strength and power is sometimes misunderstood as the merging of mind and heart is not easy. Even the ones that feel they have awakened can have a hard time with this as most teaching talk about ego and letting go of ego, just be love and light. The ego is our decision making, but also our doubting mechanism.
The trick is to have our mind understand from every perspective and choose the highest perspective. In this way not just living from the heart, but also capable of making decision from the heart with the most beneficial outcome for all from a spiritual perspective, not just a physical perspective. And taking care of the delay between the understanding by the mind of what the heart sees or knows to be the highest outcome and not just what it feels.
It is always hard to explain our feeling, so the heart also needs to be able to communicate with the mind, and the mind needs to be able to translate what is in the heart to take the highest action possible.
This is what all these dates in January and February with the Blue Moon in Leo, and the Aquarius gate are all about. The lion codes to build our strength and power to connect with Aquarius the water that stands for balance but also purity and innocence, the lamb.
No matter where you are in your awakening, these are special dates for you to find that balance and to find some answers as well. It will allow you to take actions that are for your highest good but also for the highest good of all around you.
To work from the perspective of the Cosmic Christ Consciousness, instead of just the human consciousness. Combining your strength and power, the Lion, with the innocence and purity of the Lamb.
A perfect combination to work from the heart/mind Cosmic Christ Consciousness.

Register for all 4 workshops for $ 49.00.
The year of 2018 opens with the powerful energy of a Blue Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse in Leo on the 31st of January. This is the preparation for the Aquarius gate that opens on February 2. This is followed by a partial Solar Eclipse in the sign of Leo on February 15.
It works on the emotional, physical and spiritual.
It will take people that are still in the 3rd dimension and are ready to go on to the 4th into the 4th dimension, for 4th dimensional people the same thing and so on.
For the ones that are already in the 5th dimension it will take them into the 6th.dimension.
Blue Light healing, what is it?
This is one of the biggest questions we have as we find more information as to how this reality upon earth is in fact controlling our way of living and even thinking at times.
I have tried to go back into space and time to find more information as to what this matrix or control reality upon earth is and how it came into place as well as how it is being used.
Crazy. Do you feel like you're going crazy?


What is the vertebral subluxation complex?
The vertebral subluxation complex happens when the joints in your spine don't move properly. This occurs when the spinal bones (called the vertebrae) move out of their normal position. This is known as subluxation.
The spinal cord is the communication pathway for nerve impulses to and from the brain. Messages passing back and forth through the spinal cord control the health and function of virtually every cell, tissue, organ, and system of the body.
Because vertebrae protect this primary nerve, even a small change in the position of the spinal bones can profoundly affect delicate nerve tissue. The resulting impairment to the nervous system can cause tissues and organs throughout the body to work poorly. This degenerative chain reaction--vertebral subluxation complex--is the cause of many health problems.
The goal of chiropractic is to treat the underlying cause of your problem, not just its symptoms. Your chiropractor will focus on detecting, reducing, and to restore your good health.
Spinal Kinesiopathology: Injury, strain, poor posture, or other damaging stresses to the spine cause the bones of the spine to lose their normal motion and position. Your ability to turn and bend may be limited. This condition leads to the other four components of subluxation.
Neuropathology: Sensitive nerve tissues are squeezed, rubbed, stretched, or twisted by misaligned spinal joints. The resulting irritation interrupts normal nerve pathways, causing nerves to "misfire." Symptoms of numbness, burning, or tingling may be felt in various parts of the body.
Myopathology: Problems with nerve impulses impair the muscles supporting the spine. Muscles then weaken, atrophy (become smaller), or tighten and go into spasm. This causes scar tissue that permanently affects the muscles elasticity.
Histopathology: Soft tissues near the spine are affected. Pressure from vertebrae cause discs (cushions between the vertebrae) to herniate (bulge), tear, or break down (degenerate). Ligaments and other connective tissues stretch or tear. Other soft tissues swell and become inflamed, and may be permanently damaged.
Pathophysiology: Responding to the malfunctioning spinal joints, the body grows new bone in an attempt to stabilize the joints. Over time, these bony spurs and other abnormal bony growths can completely immobilize the joint. The resulting spinal degeneration, scar tissue, and long-term nerve dysfunction can cause other systems of the body to malfunction. Many health conditions seemingly unrelated to "back problems" can often be traced back to nervous system impairment involving the spine.
Subluxations can be caused by falls, car accidents, improper lifting, poor posture, sports injuries, sitting too long, repetitive work, sudden or violent movement, chemical or emotional stress, lack of exercise, or even hereditary factors. Subluxations are found at all ages; however early stages of subluxations can be found even in very young children.
Perform a series of orthopedic, neurologic, and chiropractic tests to determine the extent of your problem. These may include testing range of motion, and checking for tenderness, pain, and swelling.
Once the condition is diagnosed, your chiropractor will prescribe a course of treatment to reduce spinal subluxation and prevent further damage.
Your chiropractor's primary tool in treating spinal subluxations is the use of adjustments (spinal manipulation). Applying precisely directed force to the joint that is out of position or not moving properly gradually restores it to a more normal position and function. Depending on what your individual condition requires, the doctor's hands or a special instrument may be used to deliver quick, therapeutic thrust to the affected joint. Other adjustments may use slow, constant pressure.
Your chiropractor may also recommend a program to complement your adjustments. This may include strengthening and flexibility exercises, hot and cold compresses, message, traction, and even diet changes, relaxation techniques, and other behavior modifications.
Make a commitment to your recovery by following your doctor's prescribed treatment program. Most importantly of all, keep all of your scheduled appointments. Even after your symptoms ease, regular treatment is needed for complete healing. Stopping treatment prematurely not only delays your full recovery, but can also cause a return of the subluxations.

31- THE RUDOLF HESS DNA FIASCO
In January 2019, the New Scientist in London announced that the US Army has solved the mystery around the identity of the Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess. The article maintained that a blood sample was taken from Hess back in 1982 by US Army doctor Philip Pittman during a routine health check at Spandau Prison in Berlin. A pathologist mounted some of the blood on a microscope slide to perform a cell count and named the slide "Spandau #7". It was hermetically sealed and kept for teaching purposes at the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC.
This sounded very convincing almost 12 months ago, but has since been debunked by numerous sources. From the blood smear a molecular biologist at the University of Salzburg in Austria succeeded in extracting the DNA and soon the scientists were busy looking for a Hess family member after the son, Wolf Rüdiger Hess, had died. They turned to the discredited British historian, David Irving, who provided various phone numbers and from there, they were able to make a match with an unnamed Bavarian member of the Hess family.
What makes this match so suspect is the origin of the blood smear and the unnamed person who provided the Hess family DNA. Hugh Thomas, the author of "The Murder of Rudolf Hess", wrote in February 2019 the following: "the decision of the Austrian researchers not to reveal either the genotype or haplotype of this DNA and to admit that their sample was for a time in the custody of the Hess family and delivered to the Austrian researchers by an unnamed member of that politically suspect family undermines the provenance of both samples." The technician who did the work in the laboratory mentioned that the blood looked "remarkably fresh" for a 37-year old sample and had no trouble doing the DNA extraction.
It is highly unlikely that any American medical officer would be allowed to do a routine health check on prisoner #7 when all four nations involved in running Spandau were required to be present. A doctor for each of the four powers would have had to be in the room during any such routine health checkup. For a long time, the British government has had excellent DNA samples of Hess which were taken during his post-mortem examination in the UK back in the late 1980s. They could easily do these DNA tests and compare samples, but have refused to do so. There was never really any need for this bogus DNA confirmation from the Austrian research laboratory.
And finally, after all the medical evidence proving that the man in Spandau was an imposter, there was the surprising evidence provided by a retired Manchester orthodontist, Hans Eirew, who wrote in an email in February 2019 the following: "During 1950/51 I was the British Army dental officer at Berlin military hospital. One of my responsibilities was the dental care of the war criminals at Spandau jail. I had to extract a left upper molar for the very weird prisoner introduced as Rudolf Hess, at his insistence standing up and without pain killing injection. Later I had access to the full official Nazi party medical records for the real Rudolf Hess, going back to his gunshot wounds in WW1. They showed that he had lost his upper left molar teeth early and had an artificial metal bridge where I was deemed to have extracted a tooth. My suspicions were supported by the fact that the other prisoners appeared to have very little contact with No.7 Hess. I am in full support of Dr Hugh Thomas, who was then the most tested army gunshot expert with wide experience in Northern Ireland and who provided medical evidence that the man at Spandau was a "ringer'."
So it appears that the Hess family or some other source is trying to manipulate the media with this highly suspect DNA study. As the author Joseph Farrell has suggested that "the Hess Mess doesn't go away by simply waving the DNA wand."

Flint water flagged as poor weeks before free bottles ended
Posted: May 5, 2018 / 12:07 AM EDT / Updated: May 5, 2018 / 12:07 AM EDT
FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Michigan environmental experts warned that Flint's water system had "significant deficiencies" just weeks before Gov. Rick Snyder announced an end to bottled water service that was introduced to allay a lead-tainted water crisis.
A surface water treatment engineer detailed 10 unresolved issues in a March 21 letter to Flint Mayor Karen Weaver. The letter said that the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has no confidence in Flint's capacity to manage the system.
Snyder announced April 6 an end to free bottled water distribution, citing two years of testing showing Flint is below the federal action level for lead.
Flint is recovering from its lead-contaminated water crisis and producing "very high quality drinking water," said Tiffany Brown, a spokeswoman for the state's environmental department.
"The department's concern is the ability of the city to maintain that," Brown said. "The treatment plant is not adequately staffed and is being supplemented by a short-term contract."
Brown also noted the viability of the water system's funding and whether the city can adopt a rate structure that will support operations.
Michigan's environmental agency is working with the Flint to ensure that its water system is maintained, said Snyder's spokeswoman Anna Heaton.
Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich is among many who have pushed for the bottled water service to continue until home water lines are replaced, which could take until 2020.
He said Snyder's administration has struggled to rebuild trust since 2014, when it wrongly assured Flint residents that water provided from the Flint River was safe to drink.
"The state forced the shift (in water source) and caused the crisis," Ananich said. "To say, 'mission accomplished,' is not accurate."

Michigan cuts pot fees in 19 cities impacted by drug war
by DAVID EGGERT Associated Press / Jul 18, 2019
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan regulators announced Thursday a cut in marijuana licensing fees for prospective business owners living in 19 cities whose residents were disproportionately impacted by the drug war.
Under the new "social equity" program, applicants with proposed pot establishments in minority, poor communities like Detroit and Flint and college towns such as East Lansing and Mt. Pleasant will pay up to 60% less in fees. The Marijuana Regulatory Agency determined the communities' eligibility by analyzing their number of pot-related convictions and the poverty rate.


The entire gift box is completely handmade using white cardstock and the Swirl Booklet Insert dies from the Romancing the Swirl collection. I have always loved working with Becca's dies because of the endless possibilities they offer! They are extremely versatile, and can be used for a number of different projects. I used the Booklet Insert die to die-cut and created a gift box, and doesn't it look so gorgeous!?
To create this gift box, I took some 80 LBS white cardstock and die-cut four panels for the box using the Swirl Booklet Insert die. Once I die-cut the four sides of the box, I glued everything together to create a box. If you are interested in knowing the full step by step tutorial for creating a gift box like the one I have made today, please be sure to check out THIS tutorial from Joanna Krogulec. I have followed her measurements to create this gift box. I have used acetate to line the insides of the box instead of vellum as I wanted to convert this into a gift box.
To embellish the front of the box, I die-cut the flowers using the flower dies included in the Card Creator A2 Corner Cotillion Dies out of white cardstock. I also added a label behind the flower from the Shapeabilities Swirl Tags Etched die set which was cut from gold mirror cardstock. The leaves are also from the Card Creator A2 Corner Cotillion Dies set and are coloured using the Ranger Twisted Citron Re Inker.
I wanted this box to have a shabby chic feel, so I decided to go with a very soft, pastel color pattern paper for the lid of the box. I die-cut the patterned paper using the largest square die from the Nestabilities Hemstitch Square Etches dies.
For my floral cluster, I first die-cut a very delicate motif from the Swirl Booklet Insert Etched dies using gold mirror cardstock. I snipped the die-cut piece in half so that I could place it behind my floral cluster in a way that it would be seen. Next, I started working on my flowers and leaves. I absolutely love making my own flowers, and hence decided to use the flower dies from the Card Creator A2 Corner Cotillion Dies set to create my florals. I die-cut them from white heavy-weight cardstock, embossed them, and lightly colored the centers using a pink dye ink. To complete the look of the flowers, I added cream colored thread pollens to the centers.
I also added some artificial fillers in white and pink to accentuate my design. For the leaves, I used the leaf dies included in the Card Creator A2 Corner Cotillion Dies and colored them using Ranger Twisted Citron Re-inker. I love the fresh, springy look of the leaves.
This is how the gift box looks from the sides.
The die-cut is really intricate and looks so elegant and beautiful!
Another view of my floral cluster.
This is how the box looks without the lid.
And here's a final picture of the box and the lid together. I think this would make for such a wonderful gifting piece, and is sure to bring a smile on the recipient's face. What do you think?
Moving on to my second project for today which is a floral card. To create this card, I first took a card base measuring 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. Then, I matted some pink textured cardstock onto it. Next, I die-cut a frame using the large frame die from the Card Creator A2 Corner Cotillion Dies from Gold Mirror cardstock. The design looks very bold and gorgeous, and I am absolutely in love with it.
To create the focal point of my card, I first ink blended the negative space of the Card Creator frame die using Distress inks in shades of pink. I also heat embossed my sentiment in gold which is from the Oh Happy Day 3D Vignettes Stamp and Die set collection.
I also ink blended and added two die-cut pieces on the top and bottom of the sentiment. The die I used is from the Swirl Booklet Insert Etched dies, and I think it looks really good with the rest of the design.
To further embellish my card, I added a few rose buds in pink, and fillers in pink and white.
I also created my own handmade fillers by die-cutting the smallest flower die from the Card Creator A2 Corner Cotillion Dies and colored them using blue dye ink. For the centers, I used a round, white styrofoam bud, colored it using red dye ink, and covered it with micro pearl beads.
Here's a view of the complete floral arrangement.
I love how the flowers turned out! Here's a closer look at one of them.

the Laphroaig 27yo 1980/2007 (57.4%, OB) which is offered for the princely sum of 500 GBP.
a few superficial comparisons between the results of a few widely available bottles in various competitions.
but we felt that a gold medal in one of the many competitions equalled a silver or even bronze medal in our Awards.
I have some more 'editorial comments', but I suspect you're eagerly awaiting the results of the competition.
'best' to 'worst' (extremely relative terms under these conditions). You can find more editorial comments after that.
Springbank 'Drink Me' 15yo (54,9%, SMWS, C#27.60, Bottled +/- 2006) ?
And these were 2007's winners. As usual, we don't mention any of the 'non-winners'.
Check out the 'medals' page for an overview of winners in previous years.
And MM has recently grown even more 'multimedia' recently.
Through the Malt Maniacs & Friends group on Facebook you can join us in our discussions about the MM Awards 2007 - and other chatter.
If you want to obtain any of these bottles, you can either inquire at your favorite liquorist or one of the many online stores. We've also included links to the websites of the distilleries and bottlers to the logo's at the right, so you can learn a little bit more about the participants and their portfolio.
If you're an 'anorak' like us, you should have some great fun browsing through the 'best-to-worst' list.
The first thing that struck me was the fact that the entries from Japan did very well again this year (although the first prize went back to Scotland), and so did those from Ireland. Both Cooley and Bushmills submitted a few bottles that seem more than able to compete with the whiskies from Scotland.
We received some material from America as well, but that didn't make the grade quite yet.
The Famous Grouse 30 years old blend was also some kind of surprise - it came incredibly close to a silver medal and actually earned a slightly higher average score than the Macallan 30yo 'Fine Oak' single malt. The Blue Hanger 30yo blend from Berry Brothers beat both by a hare's breath. The Port Charlotte six years old single malt from Bruichladdich did very well too. Its silver medal is especially impressive if you realise that it aged only a fifth of the time that the oldies I just mentioned have; six as opposed to thirty years. Another bottling that might have been a candidate for the now defunct 'pressure cooker award' was the Badger 'Islay' 6yo 2001/2007 (46%, Milroy's, C#27, Bourbon Hogs, 398 Bottles). It earned a silver medal after just six years of maturation - impressive indeed.
Before I wrap up the editorial comments on this page (the discussion continues on our new facebook community) I'd like to point out one more thing. The selection of whiskies that are submitted for the Malt Maniacs Awards isn't a 'random' selection. These days producers, bottlers and traders really want to win the competition and usually submit the bottles they feel have a good chance of winning. It seems they are getting better at it all the time - every year there are more bronze, silver and gold winners.
Therefor, the selection of whiskies in the competition is a little different from that in your average liquor store - unless you found the best whisky store in the world. Check out the MaltMenu or the 'Specials' segment of the main page for a few other recent releases that you might find at your favorite liquorist or in your local whisky bar. These overviews will come in handy if you've recently discovered the wonderful world of single malt whisky. But we also have material that digs a little deeper. The Malt Maniacs Matrix lists more than 2,000 single malt whiskies that were sampled by at least four certified malt maniacs. And if that's not enough for you, the Malt Maniacs Monitor features over 9,000 whiskies - malts, grains & blends. Even if you've only tried a handful of whiskies in your life, they probably are on there.
after I've handled all the communications around the awards.
So, it might be wise to join us on facebook if you haven't already.
What are you waiting for? It's completely free and almost ad-free.
Alternatively, you could first take a look at the results for the 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 editions of our whisky competition.
DAILY DRAM CATEGORY - whiskies that offer a fine blend of AFFORDABILITY and availability.
bottles that you have a decent chance of actually finding at a store near you - or on the web.
just become TOO DARNED GOOD for the initial scope of our little competition.
point fellow (malt) whisky lovers towards the best whiskies on the market.
has grown quite fierce, and each year the participants submitted 'better' bottles.
Unfortunately, many of these 'better' bottles also came with a higher price tag.
and the fancy ULTRA PREMIUM WHISKIES with a price tag of 100 Euro's or more.
We may even have to use 3 categories next year - but, that's of later concern.


Cooking lessons & courses Clogher Head, Annagassan, Termonfeckin and Baltray.
The East Coast Cookery School is located close to the villages of Clogher Head, Annagassan, Termonfeckin and Baltray. This stretch of the Louth coast line is a beautiful area only 45mins from Dublin. It is easily accessible by the M1 motorway yet feels a world away from the city. Cookery lessons focus on the use of local produce of which there is an abundance. From the fishing port of Clogher Head, there are fantastic prawns as well as an array of other fish such as John Dory, sole, flounder, mackerel(well the list goes on..). With a farm shop selling much of its own home-grown produce, as well as that of other producers in the area, Termonfeckin has plenty to choose from in terms of vegetable produce. With duck eggs, free range turkeys, geese, duck , and honey all readily available from the village, it is a delight to host cookery lessons and cookery demonstrations here.
Cookery lessons and cookery demonstrations are held in the East Coast Cookery School's own home creating a warm and welcoming environment in which to learn. There are hands on cookery lessons available as well as shorter, evening cookery demonstrations. All classes are relaxed and informal but with an emphasis on learning new skills and techniques to inspire you in your own kitchen. With lots of different themes such as Firm Family Favourites and Fish Landed in Clogherhead and Casual Supper for Friends, you are sure to find a cookery lesson to suit you! On arrival, you will be greeted with a glass of wine (in the evening)or a freshly brewed coffee and something to nibble on while you settle in and have a look over the day's recipes. You will then watch the cookery demonstration and taste the dishes that have been prepared. For hands on cookery lessons, you will of course, make the dishes yourself with some guidance. You will finish the class with lunch or dinner and some relaxation time.


With two successful market appearances now under my belt (!) I am starting to feel more confident about my product and more confident about selling on a stall.
Finding a venue: I first used Craft People2000 as they are experienced at running events and generally provide you a table and venue in return for a table hire charge. Its normally a set price per event and I paid £60 for my first 2 day stall but this tends to be the high end of the market in Nottinghamshire so I expect most events to be cheaper. Beth tends find events, fairs and festivals and we then contact them directly to see if its possible to have a stall. The Sherwood Community Festival was advertised and we emailed the organisers and they managed to fit us in. Most of the time they want to see your Food Safety certificate, Public liabilty insurance and possibly other business documents but I now keep these in one file for ease of access and also keep e-copies so I can email them directly.
How many cakes to make: This is a tricky one! My first event was marred by terrible weather but we managed to sell over 270 cupcakes and various other baked goods in the course of 2 days. My second event was a sell out and we sold 250 cupcakes in 4 hrs so it really depends on the event. As a rule I will now ensure I have more cakes at a festival type event as people buy in smaller quantities but they eat them straight away so once someone spots a person eating your cakes they might seek out your stall as they need a sugar fix! I also provide cookies and other baked treats so I will stock up on those next time as they are easy to make in big batches and fill your stall with. Both events had footfalls of between 500-1000+. I think I would struggle with anything larger than 2000 at this stage of my business.
Packaging: I have invested in paper bags for small purchases and small white boxes (8x8x4") for purchases of 4 cupcakes or more. I did buy bigger boxes but they are hard to handle when you are busy as they come flat packed and your workspace is limited so buy something that you are comfortable handling or else you will get flustered as the orders come in thick and fast! I did buy some ribbon and stickers for the boxes but realistically I do not have time to make the boxes look 'pretty' so I now just put stickers on the boxes as we make them up and keep them under the stall for busy periods.
Flavours: At my first event I kept the flavours very simple and really made an impact by using lots of colours and styles. The 2nd event was more about flavours and you can see what I made here. The flavours went down well and it was easier for people to choose what they wanted this time as they didn't have to decide on which colour or style they liked best. I will definitely stick to more flavours for my next event but I keep them relatively simple to suit all tastes.
I also invested in a gazebo (as you can see from my pic!) which took about 20 mins to put up and just made my 'space' feel a little more like my own. It also stopped the direct sunshine getting on my cakes and a few spots of rain too!
Thanks India, I wish I could deliver!
Same happens to me. I click on the link and it brings me to a seperate page with nothing on it but the heading.
Thanks for letting me know - I have just tried opening the blog in a variety of internet browsers and it seems if you're viewing using internet explorer then the posts appear to be hidden/not there.
I will look into this and in the meantime if you ahve access to another browser (I use Firefox/Chrome) then they are all there to be read - I promise! It seems to be a bug with the 'May' posts only so it could be a little bug. I just hope it can be fixed!
Thanks for reading and letting me know.


Even in the context of a policy black hole, it is still possible to deliver affordable housing opportunities if you choose the right model and engage the right people. Drawing on our recent experience in this space, we're sharing our insights for those looking to get some form of affordable housing project across the line, even in the absence of the 'holy grail' policy shift everyone waiting for. This is the second of a two-part blog series.
Following from our first blog post, which outlined trends we are witnessing in the affordable housing space, outlined below are our top tips to reducing barriers, garnering internal support and building the financial business case to effectively integrate affordable housing options into your next development.
The first and most fundamental barrier to address is the stigma associated with affordable housing. This is particularly the case with some local governments, concerned about an influx of residents that might not fit with their existing cultural mix.
This is one that can easily be put to bed. Typically, the level of control over tenancy in affordable housing is surprisingly high. In most instances, affordable housing will be aimed at housing local key workers, such as nurses, teachers and law enforcement. The land owner generally has the remit to work with the Community Housing Provider (CHP) provider to specify the industry and income bracket of the tenant to ensure an appropriate cultural fit and that the local employment holes are addressed. Demonstrating the social value of this in terms of local employment adding to the cultural mix is an important first step to garnering momentum.
Many developers and local governments are under the false impression that they need to provide a large number of dwellings in order to make it worthwhile for CHPs to be interested. In fact, if your organisation is risk adverse, it's much more beneficial to reduce the number of dwelling and increase the length of lease (or partnership) with the CHP. Delivering five or fewer apartments on a 25+ year lease will enable the CHP to leverage the guaranteed future income from these dwellings to finance the delivery of additional affordable dwellings. In essence, long term investment provides a low risk multiplier effect on the social impact.
While it's true that delivering affordable dwellings may potentially result in a net financial loss (in comparison to market value), there are other opportunities that deliver both a positive social outcome for the community as well as a significant financial return that could offset any financial loss from the affordable housing.
One example of this is the new Specialist Disability Accommodation Scheme introduced as part of the NDIS, which delivers a monthly payment 20-25% above market rate to land owners for delivering customised accommodation for disabled individuals with high support needs. This is a no-brainer in instances where the developer or land owner are required to deliver accessible housing as part of the local development controls. Another example is the delivery of affordable dwellings integrated into the delivery of innovative aged care solutions. Both of these options add to the cultural fabric and diversity of a precinct or development, whilst ensuring their long term financial sustainability.
The vast majority of affordable housing delivered or approved in the last decade have been integrated within large scale apartment-style residential developments. Generally, this means being part of large urban transformation projects (such as those delivered through the Communities Plus Program) or through bespoke integrations into developments in low numbers (usually led by local governments). However, there's growing momentum behind alternate models at varying densities that is opening affordable housing options to private developers both large and small.
According to AHURI, accessory dwellings (granny flats) and co-living houses in residential areas represent the fastest growing form of affordable housing in NSW (numbering over 13,000 rooms since 2009), equating to nearly 5% of total housing output in the Sydney metropolitan region. The significant opportunities for affordable housing to be delivered in medium density suburbia are also highlighted in PwC's Affordable Housing Initiative, which suggests amendments to planning laws to allow for provision of affordable housing in low-scale development of 3-10 dwellings on single residential lots. Build-to-rent and integrated aged care models are also garnering further interest in the market. All of these offer opportunities to deliver affordable housing in a cost effective manner.
There's no doubt that significant policy intervention is required to deliver social and affordable housing at scale. However, the absence of policy should not inhibit investigation and action from both the public and private sector, even if the initiatives are on a small scale. Those organisations who actively educate their internal stakeholders, pursue meaningful partnerships and explore innovative ways of tackling this issue will now be better adapted to take advantage of the inevitable market shift.
Did anything in this article peak your interest or did you disagree with our take on social and affordable housing? Either way, we'd love to continue the conversation, which you can do with an email to info@sparkstrategy.com.au.

This chapter, though brief, might be one of the most important in this book. It surveys two technologies—caches and messages queues—that have become fundamental building blocks for services under heavy load. The book reaches a turning point here. The previous chapters have explored the sockets API and how Python can use primitive IP network operations to build communication channels. All of the subsequent chapters, as you will see if you peek ahead, are about particular protocols built atop sockets—how to fetch documents from the World Wide Web, send e-mail, and submit commands to remote servers.

Reality Check: Landslide? What landslide?
By Steven A. Holmes and Eve Bower, CNN
electoral college explainer animation orig_00002708.jpg
What is the Electoral College?
Trump claims he won in a landslide
His margin was only better than 13 others
Donald Trump likes to boast about the size of his win over Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College. The problem is he has an inflated sense of the word "landslide."
This is what he told Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday: "We had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the Electoral College. I guess the final numbers are now at 306. She's down to a very low number."
Trump did score a surprising win over Clinton in the Electoral College, beating her 306 to 232. Yet in the grand scheme of all things Electoral College, his margin of victory was not particularly impressive.
Trump won enough states to give him 56.9% of the Electoral College vote. That places him 45th out of 58 US presidential campaigns in the ranking of winning percentages going all the way back to George Washington's victory in the election of 1789. Trump is just behind Harry Truman who won 57% of the Electoral College vote in 1948 – an election everybody went to bed on election night believing he had lost.
When it comes to winning a high percentage of the Electoral College vote, Trump badly trails presidents such as Washington who won 100% in 1789 and 1792, Franklin Roosevelt who tallied 98.5% in 1936, Ronald Reagan who garnered 97.6% in 1984, Franklin Pierce who got 85.8% in 1852, and Barack Obama who earned 67.8% in 2008.
Indeed, Trump's percentage of the Electoral College vote is better than only 13 winning presidential campaigns in the country's history.
He also lost the popular vote by more than 2.6 million, the largest margin of any winning president.

Hotel Review: The Haciendas of the Starwood Luxury Collection in Mexico
Eric Mohl, CPO (Chief Photography Officer)2019-02-02T13:05:28-03:00October 7, 2010 || Posted in: Hotel Reviews, Mexico - Boutique Hotels, Hotels, Luxury Hotels, Luxury Travel ||
Starwood Hotels owns or operates more than 1,000 hotels in more than 100 countries. Fewer than 80 of those are part of the hotel giant's elite Luxury Collection and only five of those are part of The Haciendas group in southern Mexico. These hotels are housed in what were once the grand homes of the owners of sisal (and sugar and cattle) farms and factories who made fortunes supplying natural plant fibers to the rope and twine making industry in the late 18th and early 19th centuries—not unlike Mexican versions of the southern plantations in the United States.
When sisal was pushed aside in favor of cheaper and stronger synthetic materials most of Mexico's haciendas were abandoned and fell into ruin and the clutches of looters who quickly stripped doors, tiles, furniture and fixtures.
A few haciendas have been saved and meticulously restored, however, including the five that make up Starwood's haciendas collection. Each has been brought back to life and infused with modern amenities (big-screen TVs, gourmet restaurants, epic swimming pools) which their original owners could never have imagined.
Despite their basic similarities, each hacienda has its own personality. Hacienda Temozon, which has hosted U.S. Presidents and international celebrities, is the most hotel-like with a grand entrance, a welcoming lobby/restaurant and a vast back garden and anchored by a long, welcoming swimming pool that laps up against what was the hacienda's machine room. Its 28 rooms (some with terraces and outdoor plunge pools) have been created in every building on the property—including what was once the stable. There's also a spa which offers the option of booking massages in the cool and organic entrance to an underground river on the property.
Hacienda Uayamon is the most remote of the haciendas with 12 stand-alone rooms dotted throughout its lush setting which are reached by following a geometric 100' long water feature/art installation through the jungle. A small spa now occupies what was the stable and an intimate swimming pool has been created around elegantly crumbling columns which once supported a roof that's long gone.
The 15 rooms at Hacienda San Jose include four Mayan-style rounded stand-alone luxe huts and one room, #9, which has a spectacular ceiba tree growing in the bathroom right up through the roof. Here the pool has been built in what was the original cistern and it includes hammocks strung irresistibly over the water. A 15 minute foot massage in the hotel's small spa is a lovely welcome gift.
Hacienda Santa Rosa is the most feminine of the haciendas. With lots of soft color and intricate decorative painting—some of it original and all of it created from records of how the house originally looked—this is the only hacienda in the group that feels like a woman might have originally lived here. In fact, a portrait of a woman (still unidentified) was the only piece of original furnishing the looters left behind by the time restoration began. Today, Santa Rosas' 11 rooms are furnished with European pieces and the grounds include a medicinal garden full of plants the Mayans used in traditional healing.
Finally, there's Hacienda Puerta Campeche which isn't actually a hacienda at all. Rather, it's a series of buildings which were used to store sisal once it was brought from outlying haciendas into the city of Campeche. Skylights brighten up the 15 rooms and the pool meanders through the foundations and columns of a flooded building. A spa is currently being planned.
It must be said that staying in a restored hacienda is not for everyone. These are very old buildings in the middle of some very dense jungle and sometimes the creatures in the jungle like your room as much as you do (I killed a scorpion in my shower at Hacienda Uayamon). The haciendas are also remote, so don't expect your cell phone to work—if a storm crops up the internet and the lights and even the electricity in general may call it quits too.
But if you're looking to live a bit of history that's unique to Mexico then The Haciendas may be for you.

Referred to the domestic mobile phone brand of Doogee Mobile, I believe that not only domestic users feel strange, even foreign users do not familiar with it. Recently, the brand also will release the new machine of DOOGEE MIX in the second half.
According to the news from Pompmall that it equipped with 5.5-inch AMOLED screen that is thee same size as HOMTOM HT10, using MediaTek Helio P25 or Helio X30 processor, provides 4 +64 GB and 6 +128 GB two storage configurations that will allow us to use more Apps than Doogee Y6 Max while it is only with 32GB storage.
As for the camera features, Doogee Mix is equipped with a front 5 million pixel camera, the back is 16 million +800 million pixel dual-camera system that will takes more clear and beautiful photos than DOOGEE Y6.
At present, the price of Doogee Mix are not known,will the price be close to HOMTOM HT3 Pro? And the time of listing are expected to be released in the second half of the year.
