Double Hmmmmm. It appears the ISIS related terrorist mayhem in Paris in the Charlie Hebdo attack in early 2015 was just a warm up for the 'main event' November Paris attacks of Friday the 13. The latest tragedy included multiple restaurant and theater shootings, along with suicide bombers, and a few convenient "this is for Syria"
Adding it Up, or Not
Consider, as usual, the things that don't add up, a tell tale indicator of black ops at work. Why, oh why, if the ISIS terrorists are sooo into advancing their agenda to gain acceptance for their 'caliphate' territory in the Middle east, that they perform very heinous acts just in time for important scheduled geopolitical events like the Vienna meeting over Syria, and the G20 conference in Turkey, where world leaders can be physically present, or right on hand to plan and resolve to defeat them? How does it help their cause for ISIS to make it as easy as possible for countries to publicly condemn them? Why, if you're ISIS, and your booty is currently and most severely being kicked by Russia in Syria, do you proceed with an attack on civilians in France, in the first place? If NBC knows where ISIS is currently getting one million dollars a day in new revenue from, why haven't government agencies shut that down? If these ISIS militants are sooo intelligent, why do they keep leaving behind passports of themselves, so they can be quickly tracked down? And how are these real or fake magic IDs usually surviving intact, in this case despite one owner presumably being blown to bits? Do these guys want to be rounded up and captured?
Most of all, how did radical extremists like this once again turn out to be already on the watchlists of government investigators and bureaus, who already knew about them, yet nobody noticed any of them getting the explosives, AK-47s, etc equipment ready for a big operation? Didn't any of these "authorities" think it might be important to double up on monitoring them, in light of the upcoming summits? How did the guys get AK-47s in the first place, in France, a nation with just about the most intense gun control apparatus in Europe? For that matter, how did working class Muslims afford to get the RPGs used in the Hebdo massacre? And, in another tell-tale sign of orchestration, there were anti-terrorism drills ("exercises") taking place the same day as the Paris attacks. Ah, just another "coincidence," like local Paris Jewish community centers who were somehow warned in advance, or like the pre-meeting US and French intelligence officials held just before the attacks (to finalize the false flag?). As I said at the beginning, hmmmmmm.
What's the Bottom Line?
Then look at the things that do add up, from the point of view of cui bono. As usual, Justin Raimondo at Antiwar.com sums up the real War Machine agenda:
"The Paris attacks are the signal for full-scale Western intervention in Syria, a "pitiless war," as French President Francois Hollande put it, and the US is likely to follow in his wake. This will achieve another longstanding Israeli goal: the interposition of a substantial Western military force between Israel and its enemies. (Although the Israeli far right doesn't necessarily agree.)
What we are looking at is a Western expeditionary force aimed at smashing the Islamic State, occupying Syria, and imposing a "negotiated settlement" of the civil war. The outlines of this have already been drawn with the negotiations between the US, its allies, the Russians, and the Iranians. The coming massive Western intervention is designed to counter Russian and especially Iranian influence on the outcome: the Paris attacks couldn't have come at a more convenient time."
What a darkly brilliant, ruthlessly efficient way for the US to finally create a legitimizing pretext to justify its presence in Syria. The US has been trying to oust Assad for years, to put in a pro-Western compliant puppet, using "fighting terrorism" or "he's gassed or dropped bombs on his own people" charges as a justifying canard. Note how "he's done X to Y people" never has to be proven, nor the context considered, but the rhetoric is part of the grammar to depose of every ruler the West targets (meanwhile, when the FBI firebombs and uses CS gas on the Branch Davidians, or US troops drop white phosphorous on Fallujah, it's not spun in "we've done X to Y people" atrocity terms). But American attempts to militarily intervene (that is, invade and plunder) Syria have lacked any authorization until now—no UN sanction, no declaration of war from Congress, nor even the unconstitutionally vague "authorization to use force."
But with the Paris attacks, which French President Hollande instantly christened "an act of war," the US can now say they are coming to the military aid of a fellow NATO member, as part of our treaty obligations! The conveniently coincident summit meetings (where the leaders all expressed solidarity with France in fighting ISIS) thus serves as "getaway driver" to lock in the legitimacy conjured from air by the false flag operation. This outcome serves to counter the much more legitimate Russian intervention (who actually were invited by the Syrian government) and so sets the stage for the US to negotiate that it be the controlling nation meddling in that country. For the war hawks, what matters is the end result—we can go into yet another state in defiance of their sovereignty, on a "we've got to fight back" impulse, and stay engaged indefinitely. The war party never needs to prove anything before intruding, and once there, never wants limits on its excursions. The hawks are deeply behind schedule in invading and taking over the Middle east, according to the plan admitted to by Wesley Clark, and feel this latest gambit is their way to get back on track:
The last shoe that should be dropped on this point is the open secret that the US created and funded ISIS in the first place, as documented in government briefs Judicial Watch forced the release of via numerous FOIA requests. At the G20 summit, Vladimir Putin himself brought up the inconvenient fact that Russian itellingence has concluded that ISIS is funded by 40 different nations (one of them being France!). As recently as this spring US armed forces were caught red-handed dropping off food and supplies to ISIS forces. There's no evidence that ISIS ever stopped being a US or Western intelligence asset, but much data to suggest they are being quietly assisted in order to serve their purpose of being the lifeline to NWO goals in the Mideast. You don't really think the military repeatedly leaves behind Humvess and heavy-duty weapons by accident, do you? Below is that no-account US Senator from NY, Kristin Gillibrand (who I ran against in 2010 on the LP line) admitting to We Are Change that Hillary and Co. did in fact foment and fund ISIS in the late 2000's:
Pretexts and Contexts
Given all of the above, we should definitely cut to the chase and call this out as a false flag, and state ISIS is another puppet enemy, created/funded/trained/equipped by US/UK/Mossad, to justify the war on terror and non-stop meddling in the Middle East. Are the Paris attacks (both Hebdo and this new one) just the latest leg of Operation Gladio? Yup, probably (for those unaware, Gladio was/is a secret program in Europe from the '80's, since exposed by government documents, to perform false flag attacks on civilian targets, to convince the public to continue to support NATO in fighting the Cold war, and now perhaps the War on Terror as well). Regardless, we should speak out against both OVERT (military) and COVERT (false flags and black ops) intervention used to keep us drowned in war and empire. Likewise, we should call for restoring the (pre-9-11) classification of terrorist acts as falling under "crime" rather than "military threat" to de-couple these incidents from a geo-political response in the first place. This would prevent people from calling for "war" every time somebody or some group shoots up a local theater, mall etc. Instead, call the police.
Otherwise, as it now stands, every organized act of violence happening anywhere on the earth can be leveraged as an 'international incident' requiring a military intervention, or an "aggressive response"
The warbots secondarily want to use this incident to achieve associated goals such as ending public access to digital encryption (in the "balancing" of privacy and security, people can't expect to retain an once of privacy that discomfits our Orwellian masters). They also want to use the latest crisis to push still more no-due-process bulk surveillance, and to force a new wave of unregulated, no-protected-borders immigration unto the red states (over the objections of 30 Governors and states, Obama is sending ten thousand Syrian refugees to mostly Republican states, not to Chappaqua, Hollywood, the upper East side Manhattan, or similar PC fortresses). Some of us wonder why masses of refugees are being sent many time zones away from their native lands, instead of to nearby, more culturally compatible countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the like? Or perhaps those neighbors are already packed to the gills with refugees from the last rounds of US-led invasions in the area?
What is the Liberty Bottom Line?
"Want to stop terrorism?" asks Lew Rockwell in his indispensable blog. "Ron Paul had it right: get out of Muslim countries. Stop bombing. Stop installing dictators. Stop stealing. Stop intervening. Stop killing." This is simple bottom line, common sense logic, backed up by the actual track record of the last 14 years, not just libertarian principle. Unfortunately, physical attacks, real or false flagged, have a track record of emotionally overwhelming common sense and steamrolling us straight into a new conflict. Despite our knowing that the Afghanistan adventure has been a disaster, Iraq has been a disaster, Libya has been a disaster, et al, a new outbreak of "we're under attack" syndrome leads to exactly the reaction the pro-war side wants: an impulsive military response, with no limits placed on the engagement.
This could be the grisly calculation made by the false flagging war mongers. The public IS war weary, and wants to elect a President who is not knee-jerk inclined to launch new invasions or bombings (and seems to have the resolve to back it up, hence the appeal of Trump and Carson in the Republican race). So, the War Machine has decided, let's scare 'em up with new stuff, and make sure to push the shiny new WOT 2.0 threat of ISIS to the point where it overwhelms all past considerations about the above mentioned Iraq disaster, the Afghan disaster, the Libyan disaster, etc. War, as the health of the State, thereby keeps being fed.
The 20 Percent Solution
Some libertarians look at the wave after wave of militaristic demagoguery, and despair that the problem is "freedom is just not popular." My response, it doesn't need to be, as long as enough pro-liberty people are true to it, and to each other. As shown by the American revolution, liberty does not need a numerical majority to
Look at what a handful of "Freedom Caucus" so-called radicals did to shake up the House leadership this past month. Examine, in war-torn countries, how few guerrillas it takes to keep things unstablized, by disrupting the regular routine. Depending on the rules of a legislative body, a handful of people can bottle things up for extended periods of time in order to at least partially get their way.
Most importantly, the other side has succeeded via their minority influence, based on the fierce dedication and organization of the Total State partisans. Neocons started out as just a few Troyskyites writing columns, and grew to take over the right on foreign policy within a generation. Domestic issue socialists likewise wormed almost all the points of the Communist Manifesto into the American system through regulations, liberal courts, controlling the media, bribing voters with subsidies, and through constant dishonest use of language.
So, liberty folks should stop pining for 'popularity' that would be ephemeral or passive if even obtained, and concentrate on achieving the perhaps 20% critical mass needed to bring liberty back, via clogging the current system up, then worry about steering the passive majority into conforming to it.

BREAKING: Tommy Robinson Freed After Winning Appeal
Jake Baker · August 01, 2018 · Featured, International, Europe, Militant Islam, Middle East, Immigration, Terror, Left Wing Ideology, Leftist Bullies, Crime and justice, Corrupt Courts
By: Cassandra Fairbanks
Tommy Robinson has been freed on bail after appealing his contempt of court detention.
The 13 month sentence for filming outside a grooming gang trial was struck down by Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett and two other judges.
Robinson's lawyers said in a statement that the Attorney General will now decide if a Crown Court should hold a rehearing in the contempt proceedings.
Tommy Robinson's lawyer's are not making a public statement other than this one, as the matter may return to court in Leeds. #FreeTommy pic.twitter.com/v2tTEMObgt— Ezra Levant 🇨🇦 (@ezralevant) August 1, 2018
Robinson has been imprisoned since May, taken into custody immediately following his arrest.
Immediately following the independent journalist's arrest and rapid imprisonment, articles about the incident were quickly scrubbed from the internet due to the British government putting a gag order in place banning any reporting on the matter. The gag was ultimately lifted after being challenged by media in the U.K.
Robinson's reporting is heavily focused on Islamic extremism and he has had several run-ins with law enforcement over his live streaming. His imprisonment stemmed from an arrest last year, also for contempt of court, after trying to film Muslims who had been accused of pedophilia outside a court in Canterbury.
The appeal decision was announced on Wednesday and Robinson is expected to be home with his family soon.
HUGE NEWS: Tommy Robinson wins his appeal! He will be home today! His contempt conviction in Leeds is thrown out; that matter will be re-heard. Attending that new hearing is his only condition of bail. #FreeTommy— Ezra Levant 🇨🇦 (@ezralevant) August 1, 2018
Lord Burnett said the court was allowing his appeal "in respect of the committal for contempt at Leeds Crown Court."
"The appellant is granted bail and the matter of contempt at Leeds Crown Court is remitted to be heard again," Lord Burnett added.
Forgive me -- the judge dismissed another case, and did not name the appellant. I didn't mean to confuse. Tommy's appeal against the Leeds conviction is upheld! Tommy will be freed today -- and his only condition is that he must attend the re-hearing of the Leeds contempt case.— Ezra Levant 🇨🇦 (@ezralevant) August 1, 2018
According to Ezra Levant of Rebel Media, who was present at the hearing, the only condition of Robinson's release is that he attend any re-hearing of his Leeds contempt case.
Just arrived at the court for Tommy Robinson's appeal verdict. Police surveillance vehicle is recording everyone who is here. #Orwell pic.twitter.com/Fa4xMJbsrd— Ezra Levant 🇨🇦 (@ezralevant) August 1, 2018
Since his arrest, thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest and demand his release.

In the year 1920 at Palampur, India, an architect arrives at a large manor house. The manager of the mansion, MK, discusses how its owner wishes to have it torn down with a hotel constructed in its place. Later that night, the architect is killed by a mysterious force. It turns out the first architect who had come before him was also killed in a similar manner some time ago. Now the third architect who is brought in, Arjun Singh, is a religious, true devotee of lord Hanumaan and devoted to his family; but he is also in love with Lisa. This meets strong disapproval from his family because Lisa (born of a British father and an Indian mother) is of mixed faith. Arjun decides to marry Lisa anyway. As he travels to Mumbai, his father and his brothers intercept his car, beat him up, and try to burn Lisa alive. Arjun fights back and decides to disavow his faith and his family for Lisa.

I write regarding the Oct. 30 letter to the editor in The Telegram from Elke and John Molgaard ("Balfour Declaration no cause for celebration")
This year marks the historic centennial of the Balfour Declaration.
A hundred years ago, on Nov. 2, the declaration was issued by the U.K. Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Walter Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, which saw the British government endorse the creation of the Jewish national home in Palestine.
The declaration represented a national commitment by the British government for Zionist aspirations in Palestine, which ultimately laid the groundwork for Israel's founding, without which, the Jewish state may never have been created.
Arthur Balfour was a pre-eminent Zionist and the Balfour Declaration's legacy deserves to be remembered in history with due accuracy and integrity. To that end, locally, an important organization called Canadians For Balfour 100 (http://www.canadiansforbalfour100.org) is on the vanguard in promoting this historic milestone. Composed of distinguished experts in international law, former diplomats and prominent businesspeople, the organization serves to educate the world about the irrefutable legal rights afforded to the Jewish people that emerged following the issuance of the Balfour Declaration.
According to Richard Bass, a Middle East historian, educator, and author of the book "Israel in World Relations," the Jewish legal rights to a national home in Palestine was derived from the fact that the Mandate for Palestine incorporated the Balfour Declaration. The mandate specifically referred to "the historical connections of the Jewish people with Palestine" and to the moral validity of "reconstituting their National Home in that country." The mandate's term "reconstituting," shows recognition of the fact that Palestine had been the Jews' home (a de facto Jewish national home existed at the time the Balfour Declaration was issued, as 90,000 Jews resided in the area of Palestine that was to be Israel). Furthermore, the British were to "use their best endeavors to facilitate" Jewish immigration, to encourage settlement on the land and to "secure" the Jewish National Home.
The mandate itself, and its incorporation of the Balfour Declaration, affirmed the 4,000-year connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel and their right to self-determination. (While the Jews received their rights to self-determination in Palestine, Arabs received those rights in all the remaining territories of the Middle East. Millions of square miles compared to Palestine's 10,000 square miles.)
Bass points out that the Balfour Declaration's principles and commitments were endorsed, signed and recognized internationally at the San Remo conference in 1920 and by the Council of the League of Nations on July 24, 1922 when it approved the Mandate for Palestine. Both were internationally sanctioned vehicles that enshrined the Balfour Declaration's provisions, which then became binding international law.
The Balfour Declaration and Mandate for Palestine, according to Bass, "… extended one set of rights to Jews in Palestine, and another to non-Jews. Jews were given the right to establish a national home in Israel; Arabs, subsumed under the more general term 'non-Jews,' were given only civil and religious rights. In other words, there was a general assumption that all non-Jews, including Arabs, would live as a protected minority within the Jewish national home."
The non-Jewish Arab population did not secure political sovereignty rights.
Despite these facts, Arab protagonists have, since time immemorial, sought to undermine the historical and legal rights of the Jews to the Holy Land. In fact, the Palestinian leadership launched a "Balfour Apology Campaign" which demanded a formal apology from the U.K. for issuing the Balfour Declaration.
We live in a world where fake news and alternative facts regrettably, are becoming the new norm, and where Time Magazine is left asking "Is Truth Dead?" The journalistic maxim that a news organization lives and dies by the strength of its sources is more important today than it ever was.
Make no mistake, Arthur Balfour supported a Jewish-majority nation state. If alive today, he would revel in this fact and not be repulsed by it.

Several months have passed since the release of the song, yet it is still performing very well in Louisiana.
Now, the song is available on iTunes and the music video has gained popularity. However, with the "Old Money, New Flow" song now gaining a new audience, Propane (The Savage Prince of Boss City) is preparing to have another video filmed. "Old Money, New Flow" can be downloaded from iTunes here.

Luis Suarez has played down suggestions of a spat between himself and Gerard Deulofeu after losing his temper with the former Everton man.
The Barcelona striker has been seen having a go at the Spaniard at times this season, and there have been suggestions he has little belief in his ability.
But Suarez insisted this most certainly wasn't the case, saying he has given a number of his teammates a dressing down over the years.
Speaking to Sport about his public clashes with Deulofeu, the 30-year-old forward said: "He is a player with experience.
"He has played in big leagues and what he has to do is listen to advice, not just from forwards, but from the manager.
"He is doing that and he's learning. He's not the only player I've given a ticking off to. We all do it. People tell me off, too.
"I am most critical of myself. There have been games when I've helped the team and been happy, despite not scoring."
"In other games, I have ended them badly because I did everything possible to score and was not able to. It's not about runs, there are moments when you do everything and the ball doesn't want to go in.
"Sometimes you hit it wrong and it goes on. They're situations strikers are used to and must live with. I know I am obliged to score because it's my job but also that the team's doing well and hasn't needed my goals."
Barcelona have been in sensational form domestically this season, and have won 10 of their first 11 games. They're currently top of La Liga, eight points clear of Real Madrid in third.

Yes, I am nearly finished sanding the dek on the front porch! I am so excited about this because when I *am* finished, I will vacuum the surface and then I can apply the stain. I sanded for about an hour the other day and today, I think I must have spent about four hours. All I know is that my fingers and wrists looked like they were swollen from all the vibration!
Mark thinks I am going overboard, but I decided to sand the entire floor so the stain will go on more evenly. Mark wanted me to just sand off the most saturated spots, but I figured if I was going to sand at all, I wanted it to look nice….not like Mickey Mouse did it!
Yesterday, our family met Carly and Erin at Genesee Country Village and Museum. We had thought about going there for awhile, but just never had seemed to make the time. The Fiddler's Festival was held a week earlier than usual, so we decided to just meet Carly and have some fun. As we drove toward our destination, we wondered if we made the right decision! We drove through a huge cloudburst and it seemed like an endless gray sky above us.
By the time we arrived at the museum, the weather seemed to mellow out some. We endured a couple of spritzes, but it never did rain later in the day and the sun even came out. Unfortunately, the rain had increased the humidity to the point that it was terribly hot! I got some photos, but I am too tired to post them tonight!
When we left the village yesterday, Erin asked if she could come and spend the night with us. We said yes, and she was so excited. We got home after seven, and I made a chicken dish and zucchini casserole. We also had some garlic bread. I washed dishes until I could no longer stand on my feet and then headed off to bed. Michelle and Erin had retreated to Michelle's room. Although Erin usually is in bed by her nine o'clock deadline, she threw caution to the wind and she and Michelle stayed up until midnight!
I ambled down the stairs at six to take the Scottie boys out and to feed them. I figured I had better start making something good for breakfast so I pulled some apples out of the crisper drawer of the fridge and cored them. I then filled them with oatmeal, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg blended in with butter. I stuffed the apples and baked them until the insides kind of exploded! They were so tasty!
The kids were in and out of the pool all day today, and I sanded away on the porch while they played. I came into the house at eleven this morning and made spring rolls for lunch. Afterward, I was once again sanding. I sanded until nearly three, but then had to stop so we could run Erin up to Victor where we met Carly to drop Erin off to go home.
Funny thing….last night as I was contemplating blogging, I fell sound asleep with the laptop propped on my knees. I awakened a couple of hours later with the laptop still on my knees!
Michelle called out to me last night to see what she found. I looked and ran to get my camera….I am thinking this caterpillar is a swallowtail of some type…..
Well, early to bed, early to rise! I don't know when I have been so thrilled to think about going to bed!!!!

"The seven angels, which had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound" (Rev. 8:6).
Seven Angels symbolize all the same Seven Planes, the seven stages of the Doomsday, seven its components.
Energy emitted by particles - is Ether or Spirit. In another way it is named in esotericism the "Word" or "Sound".
Energy emitted by angelic beings of the Hierarchy of Light, that had descended down to Earth - this is the "sound of their trumpets".
They will "sound" – i.e. radiate energy, which will affect on the substance of the planet and on all beings.
The aftermath of effects of this energy will be expressed in a variety of disasters and natural phenomena that will manifest on the planet.
We can say that "loosing of the seven seals thereof" is a process of immerse of subtle angelic beings of the Hierarchy of Light in the physical and astral Matter of the planet. And "the sound of trumpets" – this is impact of angels on the substance.
The First Angel and its influence – "hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up" (Rev. 8:7). This is the first stage of the End of the world.
The penetration of the particles of subtle planes into the substance of the planet will cause its heating. The heated substance will seek to move outward out from the bowels of the Earth. Strong earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will begin because of this. Emissions of sizzling hot substance. Lava flows. A rain of red-hot magma.
And the Second Angel sounded - the second stage – "…a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed" (Rev. 8:8, 9).
"A great mountain, burning with fire" – in such form the descent of the Hierarchy on the Earth will be seen for the people in the future because the Higher Planes are the true fire.
The penetration of energy-rich particles into the substance of the Physical Plane will make it radioactive. Since the number of these particles will be large, the radiation level will be high. When these particles penetrate into the water atoms, the water becomes radioactive and undrinkable for ordinary people. For the sixth race it will be harmless. Do you remember the article about Rakshas Tal, Kailash and Manasarovar, in the book "The Future: Meaning of life"? The water of the lake Rakshas Tal already now is weakly radioactive. And in the future water everywhere will be very radioactive. This is influence of the Third Angel – i.e. the third component. "…there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters. And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter" (Rev. 8:10, 11).
And here is the sound of the Fourth Angel – "…the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise" (Revelation, 8:12).
This means that the brightness of the sun, the moon and the stars fell three times. Day and night became darker tripled. And all this because of the reasons already explained. The atmosphere will be compacted, compressed by the Higher Plans, and because of this will become worse transmitting light.
The Fifth Angel - a star fall from heaven unto the earth, opened the bottomless pit; and there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth. And it was commanded them that they should hurt only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months. (Rev. 9:2-12)
In this case we should re-read the Rose of the World by Daniel Andreev.
Bowels of the Earth are full of creatures, woven from ethereal-astral matter, burdened by information of Evil. We name them demons, devils. These creatures will come in the end of the world from the depths of the planet.
And this all is because of penetration of the Hierarchy of Angels of Light into the depth of the planet. Their energy impact temporarily will give the force - energy – to all creatures of darkness. This force will enable them to rise above – i.e. go out on the surface.
Increased radioactivity will cause the yield of particles of the Physical Plane out from the chemical elements. Thanks to these particles the subtle-material creatures from the depths of the planet will get a greater density of bodies and the visibility by the usual look.
But at the same time they will also have the flowable ethereal bodies, non-destructive and able to pass through solid bodies.
And the Sixth Angel - the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates, were loosed for to slay the third part of men. (Rev. 9:13, 11:14)
Egypt in the Bible symbolizes the realm of matter. And Moses' exodus from slavery in Egypt - it is an image of Salvation, Ascension. Therefore, in the Bible, everything that is connected with Egypt, symbolizes the Matter and its manifestation on the Earth. Water - in the esoteric is also the symbol of Matter. Therefore, the Euphrates is a symbol of the lower Planes.
"Four" in the esoteric points to the four elements. The particles of any Plane and any level can always be graded by 4 elements.
So the four angels bound at the Euphrates River – it is a whole totality of particles of lower Planes. They were loose – i.e. the substance began to radioactively disintegrate.
Because of this the third part of people will die.
The Seventh Angel – "…there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. … And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail" (Rev. 11:15-19).
Let us explain.
The Kingdom of the World - is the realm of humanity.
The Kingdom of God - this is Heaven, the Hierarchy of Light, the Planetary Logos, who now exists above, around the planet, and partly penetrates the substance on the surface.
When the heavens will descend down, they will immerse into humanity, will become a part of it, will penetrates into it. This means - the Kingdom of the World has become the kingdom of God.
And the Highest Planes will be available for people - a place that is called Shambala - where the Will of God is known. This place is the temple of God in Heaven.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain cut its budget deficit by slightly less than expected last month but a better than previously thought performance in November could help finance minister Philip Hammond to hit his target for the current financial year.
Official figures on Tuesday showed public borrowing in December alone fell by 5 percent to 6.9 billion pounds, higher than a median forecast of 6.7 billion pounds in a Reuters poll of economists.
But borrowing in the first nine months of the 2016/17 tax year fell by a sharper 14.3 percent to 63.8 billion pounds compared with a year earlier, helped by a smaller than previously reported budget deficit in the month of November.

The Office for National Statistics revised the shortfall in November to 11.3 billion pounds from a previous estimate of 12.6 billion pounds.
Hammond is aiming to cut the full-year budget deficit by 10 percent to 68.2 billion pounds, which would still leave Britain with one of biggest shortfalls among the world's industrialized nations at about 3.5 percent of economic output.
Although the deficit in the year so far is running close to Hammond's target, income tax returns in January are likely to push the public finances into surplus for the month.
In the first three months of 2016, the deficit grew by a total of 1 billion pounds, an ONS official said.
Britain's budget forecasters had predicted in March that the government would be able to reduce its deficit by more than 20 percent in 2016/17. But in a November update, they reined in their projections for how much progress the government would make because of the impact of June's Brexit vote.
The Office for Budget Responsibility said later that Hammond could overshoot even the revised target with only a small deviation from its forecasts.
Tuesday's figures suggested rising inflation was adding to the government's debt costs which were up nearly 7 percent in the April-December period. But corporation tax revenues rose nearly 10 percent.
Hammond has dropped the goal of his predecessor George Osborne of eliminating the budget deficit by 2020, giving himself leeway to help the economy cope with the slowdown he expects as Britain prepares to leave the European Union.
Hammond told Reuters last week he did not plan to use any of this leeway for now, given the signs so far that Britain's economy has held up well to the shock Brexit vote in June.
Last year's budget deficit was 4.0 percent of GDP.
Public sector net debt jumped in December to its highest level at least since comparable records began in 1997 at 86.2 percent of GDP, reflecting the expansion of the Bank of England's bond-buying programs to the help the economy.
The BoE's actions also pushed up the public sector net cash requirement sharply.

Parise Quotes
We weren't going to give up, ... We weren't going to stop. We kept pressing and we came out on top. We said [after the second period] that Canada hasn't seen our best yet. We were disappointed with our first two periods and they hadn't seen our best hockey. We showed it to them in the third period and we got the gold. - Zach Parise

All I can say is Akon DID IT AGAIN. The album is on fire!!! Freedom is Akon's third album and he's getting better from one album to another. Whether you are a fan or not, you will like Freedom and most of the songs from this album are gonna be played in clubs all over the world.
Some wikipedia time before we get on with the review. For those of you who are not updated with Akon's bio, his real name is Aliaune Thia, don't really get how that translated into Akon, originally from Senegal, his daddy is a jazz musician and he's 35 years old and moved to New Jersey when he was 7. Speaking of name, Snoop Dogg's real name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus. LOL. Okay, I know. It's unrelated. Hahaha.
On with the CD, just like Lady Gaga's The Fame, the lyrical contents of the album is nothing to be proud of, he's not really the sharpest lyricist but who cares?? All that matter is they have great tunes that with high sale value. But, I'm NOT saying that it's THAT bad, there's just nothing special to it and predictable. It's the usual "I don't care what other people think, we are perfect for each other, screw them, let's fuck" kind of lyrics. Get it? Unlike Ne-Yo's, Year of The Gentlemen who writes about a lot of things that affects our everyday life.
There are lot of guest appreances in this album and it's perfect. Names like Colby O'donis, Kardinal Offishall, Wyclef Jean, T-Pain and Lil' Wayne are featured in Freedom but still with big names like Lil' Wayne and Wyclef Jean, Akon was not overshadowed by them. In this album, Akon starts to sing more (normally he just sing a few verse and then jazzed up by some other artist) which is good since he has a unique and cool voice. Don't even know if other people will be able to perform Akon's song besides him.
It's been a while since I've been in a club so I have no idea what they are playing in the club but I can say that the song Right Now (na na na) is flooding almost all the radio stations. And, believe it or not, in Freedom, Akon has a slow song!!!! And I love it so much!!!
Overall, I think this album is on the right direction and the guest appreances adds more spices to it and it's DEFINITELY a must have album. Regardless you like Akon or not. I think Pussycat Dolls should work with Akon.
I strongly suggest you to check out:
1. Beautiful (Feat. Colby O'donis and Kardinal Offishall)
2. We Don't Care
3. Keep You Much Longer
4. Birthmark
5. Troublemaker (Feat. Sweet Rush)
6. Freedom (Good Lyric, this one :D)
7. Sunny Day (Feat. Wyclef Jean)
8. I'm So Paid
9. Be With You
LOL. That's almost ALL songs in Freedom. Enjoy the album

Follow me on Twitter! You can find me here: http://twitter.com/MaseratiGTSportEvery day I provide a brief piece of advice on IT management.
Find me on Facebook:
Companies are mining extensive amounts of customer data in search for new opportunities. How can you take advantage of Big Data and use it for strategic advantage?
Big Data is a tool, not the end in itself. Keep this in mind as you talk with data analytics vendors. Vendors develop tools and look for innovative ways to justify their value for your organization. The best way for them to approach you is with a concept that takes advantage of the business opportunities that might be available to you. Avoid analytics vendors who try to sell you a "Big Data Project".
When you are ready to begin using data analytics inside your organization, start with determining and then bridging the gap between the data that you already have available and the data which you should have available. You can then start validating your assumptions by analyzing the data.
In order to start using your data for competitive advantage, you may have to start collecting new data and applying new analytical techniques to that data. Start with your business goals and use the data to discover innovative solutions that you can use to improve your decision-making and performance.
Big Data is about strategy. You need support from your top level C-suite management in order to be successful. Companies that successfully use the data analytics for strategic advantage do not achieve better results simply because they have more data, but rather because they have leadership teams that set clear goals, define what success looks like, and ask the right questions.
We are all plenty aware that sedentary time and a lack of sleep are each harmful on their own, but research shows that when combined with more traditional risk factors they may have a multiplier effect that could make an early death far more likely. For example, the risk of premature death for people who both drink and smoke may be three times higher than for those who only drink. Adding another factor like sleep deprivation increases the odds of an early death almost five times, even though lack of sleep by itself may have only a slight effect on mortality. Research shows that the more deviations a person has from a clean lifestyle, the greater his or her risk may be of premature death, and that some combinations are more dangerous than others - those who combine insufficient exercise with prolonged sitting are at an increased risk, as well as those who sleep for too many hours.

Selecting The Proper SpinnerbaitSelecting The Proper Spinnerbait Develop a simple checklist for choosing the appropriate bait and greatly increase the number of bass you catch on spinnerbaits.
Arguably, one of the most productive search baits on the market is the spinnerbait. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro angler, these lures will give you the ability to dissect a large area of water in a short period of time.
Although spinnerbaits are viewed as an easy to use or almost "fool proof" lure, there are certain factors that will affect their level of productivity.
As with any other bait selection, size and color are important factors. However, they represent only a small piece of the equation when choosing a spinnerbait.
When selecting the size of the lure you must take into consideration the time of year as well as water clarity. In the spring or in clear water it is very possible to catch a large bass on a bait as small as 1/8-ounce. Just the opposite occurs in the fall and also in muddy water, where larger profile baits as big as 1-ounce are the ideal choice. The 3/8-ounce size is viewed by many anglers as the all purpose size.
The color selection process can be broken down into two different segments—skirt color, and blade color. I have a tendency to keep this aspect very simple. When choosing the skirt color, I have a general rule that I follow. For clear water or sunny days, I will typically use a white bait. On cloudy days or in dirty water I lean more towards darker colored baits such as black and blue. This simple guideline is also what I follow when selecting blade colors. On sunny days or in clear water, I will most often use silver blades. Silver has a greater reflection level than that of copper blades. Copper and painted blades are effective choices for dirty water or cloudy skies.
In my opinion, the single most important factor of the bait selection process is the blade configuration. Blades play a huge role in the performance of these lures. They provide vibration, flash, lift and also affect retrieval speeds.
There are several different blade styles on the market. However, there are three styles that seem to dominate in popularity. These styles are the Willow Leaf blade, the Colorado blade, and the Indiana blade. Each variation has its own unique function.
The Colorado blade provides the highest level of lift for the bait. This is because of its round design that maximizes the amount of water being pushed. As a result, the lure will run shallower than baits with other blade styles. These blades also produce a great deal of vibration as they rotate in the water. The vibrations are sensed by the bass using their lateral lines. Because of the amount of water being displaced, these baits are excellent for muddy water when bass have limited visibility.
Indiana blades are more oblong than the Colorado blade. The design causes less water to be moved by the blade during rotation. As a result of its narrower shape, these blades will cause the lure to run a little deeper. They also produce a longer silhouette in the water, which increases the level of flash. These are good multipurpose blades.
The Willow Leaf blade is very narrow in comparison to the Colorado blade. This design gives off a lot of flash and very little vibration. Willow blades produce an even longer silhouette in the water because of their narrow shape and tight rotation. Spinnerbaits that have Willow Leaf blades can be ran a lot deeper than the previously mentioned blades. It is possible for you to run these baits shallow but in order to do so you would have to retrieve the lure very quickly. This blade is extremely effective in clear water, where bass tend to use sight as their primary sense.
Combining the different blade styles on your lures is a great way to maximize the baits' performance. For example, you can have an ample supply of flash and vibration by using a bait that is equipped with both Willow Leaf and Colorado blades.By experimenting with different styles and configurations, you are able to develop a lure that will meet your needs.
As with every other type of lure, the most important aspect is your pure confidence. This can be obtained by frequently using and understanding how each variation works.
Proper line selection is another area that I feel is very important. Most anglers have their own opinion on what line is best. As I have said many times before, "I respect everyone's opinion". My personal preference for spinnerbait fishing is 15-20 pound test PowerPro line. (www.powerpro.com) PowerPro is a braided line that has virtually no stretch. The significance of this is that you have the power, even on long casts, to get enough force to drive the big spinnerbait hook into the jaw of the bass. In most cases, spinnerbaits are equipped with heavy gauge hooks that range in size from 2/0 to 5/0. With some monofilaments, the line stretch can be as much as 25% when wet. That represents a significant amount of power loss when setting the hook. In turn, it could result in several lost fish and lost earnings for tournament anglers. That logic is the basis for my preference to use PowerPro line.
By taking into consideration the multiple aspects of each fishing situation and analyzing each individually, an angler can more effectively choose the proper spinnerbait. Develop a simple checklist for choosing the appropriate bait. Determine such factors as depth, water clarity, retrieval speed, etc and determine which configuration and size best suites your needs. By doing so, you will greatly increase the number of bass you catch on spinnerbaits.
Grow your fishing skills and improve your angling effectiveness.

That night in 2017, friends Taylor Bryant and Connor Denney lost their lives in a tragic car accident following the Grand County High School promenade dance. Over the past year, friends and family of those involved in the wreck have worked to overcome the pain associated with that night, while espousing an unending love for Bryant and Denney.
This week, a group of more than 60 gathered at the site of the crash to remember the two and place dozens of painted rocks there to honor their memory.
Daniel McCrary was in the car that night. He survived the crash that killed two of his best friends and injured another teen. On Monday night he opened up to The Times-Independent in his first interview since the incident. He spoke of his last memories before the crash — and what he would say to Bryant and Denney if they were here today.
"I remember hanging out at my house that night," McCrary said. "We were hanging out in my room, eating pizza and playing video games. We had a lot of fun that night. I miss them every day. If they were here I'd tell them I love them and miss them."
Daniel's mother, Christina McCrary, said she hopes no one ever forgets about Bryant and Denney.
"This year has been the worst torture I could imagine for anyone, and I just hope that nobody ever forgets these two beautiful kids," she said. "There hasn't been one second that I haven't thought about them. Those beautiful kids aren't with us anymore, but they will always be in our hearts."
Plans are already in motion, she added, to celebrate the anniversary again in 2019. "We'll be here every year."

Currently Group Office sorting like so (classical alphanumerical sort):
1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 20, 21, 22, 3, 30, 31.
It is possible to make it sort more logically? For example,
I have have to add "zero" infront of each value to get Natural/Logical sorting. For example;
But this issue will be a problem when I get to "100", so I have to go back and add another "zero" in front.

Same Story, Different Day – Permanent Fund Earnings Up for Spending
Morning Headlamp, March 16, 2017
The Alliance's AK Headlamp
Permanent Fund POMV Clears Senate. The Alaska Senate approved a bill on Wednesday to utilize Permanent Fund earnings to fill most of the state's deficit setting up another confrontation with the Alaska House. SB 26 would set dividends at $1,000 for the next three years, is similar to the measure the Senate passed last year in a 14-5 vote. On Wednesday, it passed 12-8.
Oil tax hike move forward. House Bill 111 moved forward on a party-line vote 5-4. The conversation preceding the vote was blunt but cordial. "This effort has been all about raising revenue and I think it's at a point where we need to attract investment and as the good admiral from Alyeska Pipeline (President Tom Barrett) mentioned, it's all about oil through the pipeline," Anchorage Rep. Chris Birch said. "We need to be very wary of the uncertainty that we're formulating here. I urge caution. We can do better." Minority members also noted the preapproval provision was added to an amended version of the bill on March 10 and the Department of Natural Resources was not able to weigh in on the idea before the committee voted on it. Rep. Dean Westlake, D- Kotzebue, whose massive district includes the North Slope, voted in favor of HB 111 but is not keen on the expenditure preapproval requirement. He described it as the state "micromanaging" work plans already developed experts in their field.
Headlamp is disappointed by the House Majority's action to push this tax through in the face of industry and public opposition. HB 111 does not move Alaska in the right direction. Hiking taxes, and changing the game again won't increase production, investment or create more jobs. Remember those slides showing other oil regimes passing incentives or positive legislation that helped the industry during this downturn? If HB 111 should pass Alaska will be the only regime to have passed NEGATIVE/HARMFUL legislation two years in a row during this oil crash.
Frack baby, frack. The Trump administration says it is rolling back an Obama administration rule requiring companies that drill for oil and natural gas on federal lands to disclose chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing. The administration said in court papers filed Wednesday that it is withdrawing from a lawsuit challenging the Obama-era rule and will begin a new rule-making process later this year.
Under the sea. Siemens Corporation and ABB are working on designs for an underwater production platform which would allow power transformers to be located on the seafloor while control room operators are based onshore miles away. Subsea platforms would be cheaper, easier to build, and easier to dismantle in addition to being unmanned.
Headlamp applauds these companies for driving innovation and working on this exciting new technology that will drive growth in the industry!

Look, if you want a short overview of Kasich's State of the State address, here it is:
Here's the long version: The speech was a rambling mess of incomplete thoughts, decrees with no explanation on the plans to address it (while I'm all for ending human trafficking in Ohio, we need a plan, not a Governor to take the time out to point out that 21st century slavery is wrong), and contradictions. Kasich's aversion to having a speechwriter makes me wonder what a speechwriter could have done to traumatize Kasich to this point.
Kasich chose the Wells Academy to give the address because it's the top ranked public school in the State. That lead most to reasonably concluded that Kasich was planning to provide some details as to the new school funding formula he's been talking about for over a year to replace Governor Strickland's evidence-based model that Kasich repealed with no real replacement in place.
Kasich, at one point in his speech, claimed logistics is becoming an industry in Ohio, and then defended his Administration for announcing it was delaying countless ODOT projects for decades due to lack of funding. Also, apparently John Kasich didn't know that logistics has always been a major part of our economy. Before airports and the interstate highway system, there were railroads. Before that, canals. Seriously, someone should have just handed him an Ohio history textbook and asked him to read it first and then start over.
Schools need funding, not flags
He never even mentioned the need to get a school funding formula. NEVER mentioned it. Instead, Kasich recapped his record on quadrupling the number of private school vouchers and lifting the cap on charter schools. What's clear is that Kasich had a plan for them before he took office, and his plan for public education was to drain billions in funding to balance the State's budget and to subsidize failed charter school operators like White Hat Management. But we were at least promised a formula this year. Time and time again, Kasich fails to meet his own self-imposed deadline to create a funding formula problem of his own making. For a speech that was billed as highlighting successful schools, there was little for public education offered at all except a defense of what Kasich has already done… for charters and parochial schools. Not that Wells Academy was left empty handed. At the end of the speech, Kasich announced he was donating the gigantic State flag that served as his SOTS backdrop, but Ohio's public schools need funding and a formula, not flags.
Kasich abandons Tea Party for… OBAMA?!?
Kasich publicly began his campaign for Governor speaking at a large Tea Party protest in Columbus on Tax Day. Kasich fueled the crowd with bromides against bailouts. A year ago, Kasich's State of the State was filled with ideological policy proposals to privatize seemingly everything under the sun. Yesterday, Kasich was defensive about his turnpike privatization proposal to the point of even saying he may not even pursue it.
Yesterday was the day Kasich divorced himself from the Tea Party to run for the middle in the hopes he can rehabilitate his public image enough to win re-election in 2014. He ran for the middle. His speech seemed thin on details because Kasich had no plan for year two. He didn't expect to be hobbled by the 60% of Ohioans who voted against Issue 2. How different has Issue 2 made Kasich? The guy who ran as the Tea Party candidate who would "stop Obama" is now praising him:
Our schools across the state are, frankly, consistent with the Race to the Top, where I give Arne Duncan and the President great credit for what they've done there. We're moving Ohio forward, but we've got a long way to go.
Kasich is even writing an op-ed piece with the Wall Street Journal with the CEO of General Motors (called "Government Motors" by opponents of the successful auto bailout) about the resurgence of manufacturing in Ohio. That cannot be written truthfully without acknowledging that using the TARP funds to bail out the auto industry worked.
Kasich listed the improvements in the auto industry and steel industry. He cited new and expanded projects by Chrysler (bailout), GM's Chevy Cruze being built in Ohio (thanks to Governor Strickland), Republic Steel ("Auto Bailout/Cash for Clunkers") and V & M Steel ("stimulus"). Again, as we've pointed out before, these are developments the companies executives themselves credit Obama's policies for making them possible now for Ohio. And many of them have publicly acknowledged were in the works with the support and involvement of the Strickland Administration.
Kasich takes credit for things Ted Strickland actually did and then promises to do things Strickland already did, too.
Kasich praised the creation of a biomedical corridor near Cleveland, which was part of Governor Strickland/Lee Fisher's Hubs of Innovation. Kasich talked about how his Administration got Phillips to move their R & D from California to Cleveland.
Oh really?
Funny how that very project was announced… by Governor Ted Strickland in 2010.
Kasich, as his done in the past, tried to take credit for the improvement in the outlook of Ohio's finances, too. The problem is, as we've pointed out, is that the credit reporting agencies cited the ability of Ohio's finances to weather the recession and the fact that Ohio's "rainy day" fund was being replenished again after being drained by the recession. The "rainy day" fund is how Kasich claims credit for the improved credit outlook. But what Kasich failed to mention is that every penny of the money that went into the "rainy day" fund came from the SURPLUS left by Governor Strickland, and the Kasich Administration had virtually no legal choice but to put that money into the reserve revenue fund.
Kasich also said that he wants companies to be able to trap "waste heat" as a source of renewable energy. Yet again, Kasich is too late. Strickland's alternative energy portfolio already includes "waste heat" as a source of renewable energy that Ohio must start to utilize more. Time after time, much of what Kasich discussed has already been done by Strickland or is being done now thanks to Obama.
Kasich endorses Obama policy from State of the Union
Not only is Kasich praising Obama's policies and trying to steal credit for Strickland's, he's co-opting Obama's policies as his own, too. Here's a portion of the White House's briefing on Obama's State of the Union speech last month:
You know we have 80,000 unfilled jobs right now in Ohio, can you imagine that? Okay. Let me tell you what else we have. We have a workforce training program – shame on us – think about this, we have 77 different programs located in 13 different agencies. Now 77 and 13 adds up to zero, because that means there is no accountability whatsoever.
Secondly, we need our community colleges to begin to educate people for these jobs. Now some of them are doing a pretty good job. Some of them aren't doing a very good job. You know, we only have a 10 percent graduation rate nationwide for community colleges. Community colleges should be like the emergency vehicle when there is a job. Put kids and students in there, including adults, and get them trained quickly so they can get the jobs that are available. So we have to match the community colleges with the business community and the forecasting.
They're essentially the same. (BTW, if Kasich thinks Ohio's training programs are bad now, he'd be shocked to learn that Governor Strickland consolidated programs and ended the shameful practice of rejecting federal retraining program funding.) These are training programs, by the way, that Kasich largely opposed in Congress.
What I was able to get from John Kasich's Second State of the State Address is a frightened politician abandoning the Tea Party to try to blend into a moderate middle. Whereas Kasich used to blast Washington over Obama's policies, yesterday Kasich blasted the partisanship in Washington, which can only be taken as a slap to Speaker John Boehner.
The speech began with the singing of Kasich's favorite hymn "How Great Thou Art" (No joke.) The Democrats wanted to play in response Carly Simon's "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you."
I've said before that Kasich moved this speech because he simply feels out of his skin to have to be "gubernatorial." The speech was delivered like you'd expect to see at a rubber chicken county party dinner or chamber event. It even had a brief award presentation. It was as surreal and bizarre as the Cincinnati Enquirer and Associated Press said it was.
But the most surreal aspect of it was suddenly listening to Kasich's words and realizing that everything he called a success in Ohio was closely tied to Democratic policies. Again, he even explicitly praised Obama over Race to the Top funding. His speech explicitly and implicitly endorsed the polices of the President and tried to take credit from the Strickland Administration.
What was missing, besides a speech writer?
But there were noticeable absences, too. Kasich never mentioned the tragedy in Zanesville. He omitted any hint to SB 5. And he no longer calls his budget the "Jobs Budget" (probably because Ohio has lost jobs since it became law.)
A State of the State is normally a time for a Governor to make a case for his agenda. One of the failings of his last is that Kasich spent little time to try to make a public case for Senate Bill 5. But this is the second SOTS speech in which Kasich made no reference to his campaign promise to start phasing out the State's income tax. Although his last SOTS speech omitted any reference to repealing the estate tax, too, but it was repealed effective June 30, 2013 in the State budget. Kasich also made no mention of any further planned tax cuts, and Columbus has gone virtually silent since the budget passed about address tax expenditures (mostly special interest tax breaks written into Ohio's tax laws that cost the State billions in revenues.)
It was a speech devoid of any real substance beyond what I've covered. At the end, every aspect of the speech was a perfect symbol of this Administration. Sound and fury, strutting upon the stage promising everything, but signifying nothing. It left much of the media feeling this sentiment.

Welcome to the Tectite Forums! You can download and get support for our free PHP FormMail (form processor) and other free software.
I have had a Tectite form working on a Windows site hosted by Westnet/iinet for a couple of years; a few days ago it suddenly started sending users a message to contact the web site owners directly, as the form was not working. Nothing was sent to the TARGET_EMAIL or DEF_ALERT addressees. I contacted Westnet support, who suggested I alter the "define('DEBUG',false)" line to "true" whereapon the error message resolved into something along the lines of the thread title; two on every form submission attempt.
Westnet later conceded that the problem had been created by them by "tightened SMTP security on those servers so all mail must specify a sender address" and suggested I look at the "SENDMAIL_F_OPTION", and "SET_SENDER_FROM_EMAIL" definitions, and the "$FIXED SENDER" setting, without any whif of a clue as to what I should do with them. PHP is Greek to me, but I tried many combinations of changes to these and the fromAddr settings, and only succeeded in raising the number of 550 errors to three with each submission attempt. Identical forms which I have on other Westnet-hosted sites continue to work satisfactorily, which doesn't say much for their Quality Control!
I have a really good solution to this problem which doesn't involve Westnet, however as I don't own the web site, would dearly like anyone out there to help me resolve this issue in the short term.

Retirement Villages Regulation 2017
The Retirement Villages Regulation 2017 made some changes to retirement village laws. These include:
- requiring copies of a village's insurance policy documents be available to prospective residents
- a new 'average resident comparison figure' (ARCF) in the Disclosure Statement to facilitate more effective comparison between villages – required for all disclosure statements after 1 March 2018
- reducing the maximum amount payable for an operator's legal and other expenses to $50
- adding new matters for which village rules can be created, including smoking in communal areas
- requiring clearer information in annual budgets around head office expenses
- lowering the maximum amount allocated for contingencies to $1
- prohibiting additional matters that cannot be financed by recurrent charges
- simplifying the process for allowing residents to hold office on a residents committee for longer than three years; and
- allowing service of documents by electronic means.
Inquiry into NSW retirement villages
As part of its four-point plan to improve retirement village living, the NSW Government commissioned Kathryn Greiner AO to lead an inquiry into the state's retirement village sector. The inquiry was completed between August and December 2017.
The Inquiry into the NSW Retirement Village Sector Report (PDF, 3583.78 KB) (the Greiner Review Report) outlines the Inquiry's findings and recommendations to improve the legislative framework for retirement villages in NSW. The Inquiry found that the operation of the retirement village sector could be improved in three key areas:
- increasing transparency of exit fees and contracts
- clarifying the funding arrangements for ongoing maintenance costs which are shared between residents and operators
- providing more support when disputes arise (and reducing the potential for disputes arise).
The Greiner Review Report further recommends improving Fair Trading's administrative and operational practices in the retirement village sector.
The NSW Government supports the findings and recommendations in the Greiner Review Report. To implement the Greiner Review Report, it will make reforms to afford greater protections to consumers. These reforms will aim to:
- increase transparency
- improve certainty around costs
- enhance operator accountability
- improve dispute resolution, and
- strengthen Fair Trading's role as the regulator of retirement villages in NSW.
The Government is progressing the proposed reforms outlined in its response, and will consult on any significant proposals as they are developed.
Read the Government response to the Greiner Review Report (PDF, 339.02 KB).
Background to the Inquiry
The Inquiry reviewed the protections offered to residents and the opportunities to improve Fair Trading's administrative and operational practices that could help address unfair practices in the sector.
The Inquiry also looked at the fairness and transparency of business practices, including:
- transparency and honesty of marketing activities
- clarity of fees and contractual rights and obligations for prospective residents and their families
- suitability and fairness of village maintenance and operational practices to maintain resident safety
- availability and cost-effectiveness of dispute resolution mechanisms
- fairness of arrangements to levy maintenance fees to maintain the village and address building defects.
Download the formal terms of reference for the inquiry.
Submissions to the Inquiry
Submissions closed on 31 October 2017.
The Inquiry into the NSW Retirement Village sector received almost 500 submissions during public consultation and all were considered.
Many organisations and individuals provided considered comment that greatly assisted the Inquiry.
While all submissions have been carefully considered, only those received from industry and resident groups and associations have been published.
No submissions from individuals have been published due to the personal, and sometimes quite sensitive, nature of the information
Community forums
During the consultation program, residents and members of the community were invited to attend consultation forums to discuss their concerns at locations across the State. The forums were held in Sydney, Hornsby, Ballina, Parramatta, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, Wollongong, and Wagga Wagga during October 2017.

These are my results. Thanks to @Gaarita100 for the card.
Luhan and I knew each other when we were younger. We must've been good friends.
But Chanyeol is my best friend. Someone help me from this crazy monster, he keeps dragging Baekhyun along when we're hanging out. (BaekYeol!)
And the little baby panda is my bias, I mean it's obvious, look at him 🐼
Why must you betray me like that Luhan?! We grew up together 😩
The sassy maknae is my boyfriend. I think I need help from him, dragging Luhan on all of our dates. He's the reason why Luhan and I can't get along. Sehun stop with the HunHan already, you have me. (I really do ship HunHan, OTP!)
Okay so my bias, the panda, Tao makes me cheat on Sehun because he's secretly in love with me, and then ends up breaking my heart. This Gucci lover seriously needs to stop. (Don't stop, Tao. I love you!)
But in the end, my best friend becomes my husband. He stood by me through thick and thin. (And he's secretly cheating on me with Baekhyun because his eyeliner is better than mine. Sorry not sorry because BaekYeol is adorable!)
