An official explanation of what is replica set in MongoDB.
A replica set in MongoDB is a group of mongod processes that maintain the same data set. Replica sets provide redundancy and high availability, and are the basis for all production deployments.
Replication provides redundancy and increases data availability. With multiple copies of data on different database servers, replication provides a level of fault tolerance against the loss of a single database server.
In this post, for simplicity, I am going to setup a mongodb replica set environment like the image below.
Arbiter is a special role in this environment, it does not maintain any data but to maintain a quorum in a replica set by responding to hearteat and election rquests by other replica set members.
Steps for this tutorial,
- Prepare three servers with mongodb installed. Make sure each server is able to coonect to every other servers through 27017 port. Please refer: MongoDB-3.6 Community Edition Installation
- Create necessary users and enable authentication. Please refer: MongoDB Enable User Login Authentication
- Create Keyfile Security for replica set internal authentication access control.
- Modify
/etc/mongod.confto the use of replication set.
- Configure and start replica set service, check result.
- Add arbiter and check result.
Assuming you have done steps 1 & 2, my servers information is below.
Create Keyfile Security
keyfile on
mongo1 which is used by all the mongod instances within the relica set for authentication. You must save keyfile at a location where mongod has read privilege. Please run the commands with root privilege.
openssl rand -base64 756 > /var/lib/mongo/mongodb-keyfile
chmod 400 /var/lib/mongo/mongodb-keyfile
chown mongod.mongod /var/lib/mongo/mongodb-keyfile
Next, copy the keyfile to
mongo2 and
arbiter. Make sure mongod on both server has read privilege of the file.
Modify mongod.conf to the use of replication
We need to modify
/etc/mongod.conf of
mongo2 and
arbiter so that it will authenticate with keyfile and also set a name for replica set. Edit bindIp in according to your server ip.
# network interfaces
port: 27017
bindIp: 192.168.122.134 # change ip to mongo2 and arbiter accordingly.
keyFile: /var/lib/mongo/mongodb-keyfile
replSetName: bulafish
Now start
mongo2 and
systemctl start mongod
Configure, start replica set and check result
Next we need to initial and conf the replica set, let's login to
mongo1 using syntax
mongo --host serverip -u username -p --authenticationDatabase admin.
mongo --host 192.168.122.134 -u blogroot -p --authenticationDatabase admin
Initial replica set.
Now we config the replica set. At this stage, we can see that
bulafish replica set has been configured.
Now we add
mongo2 into replica set.
Check the current status of replica set. We will see that
mongo1 and
mongo2 are in the
members section with mongo1 showing
primary and mongo2 showing
Add arbiter into replica set
rs.addArb() to add an arbiter into relica set.
Check the status after arbiter has been added.
That's it, we have deployed an replica set environment with an arbiter!
MongoDB-3.6 Community Edition Installation
MongoDB Enable User Login Authentication

Series 4 of Crackanory will be shown on channel Dave on Monday to Thursday across the next two weeks. Here the readers talk more about their stories and what makes a good storyteller. In some cases there are video versions of the interviews which also contain preview clips.
Dara O Briain
On Monday 30th January 2017, Dara O Briain reads A Close Slave. Guide
(If you watch the video, the below interview is a repeat)
What is your Crackanory story about?
My story is a story of a slave and how he tries to use his wits to escape slavery, and at the same time gain the love of a crowd. There are twists!
What do you think makes a great storyteller?
Pauses ... [a pause] ... and maybe another pause... [another pause]... and then finally speaking.
Who would you choose to give you a bedtime story?
Peter Ustinov told a hell of a story. Billy Connolly is an amazing storyteller. Morgan Freeman slowly narrating the story of my life as I drift off would be a delight as well. But then the thought of waking up and seeing Peter Ustinov, Billy Connolly and Morgan Freeman still there, maybe with some breakfast... it's too weird!
Sheridan Smith
On Tuesday 31st, Sheridan Smith reads Living With A Lie. Guide
(If you watch the video, the below interview is a repeat)
What's your Crackanory story about?
[Sheridan gets writer Nico Tatarowicz to answer:] This is about why you shouldn't lie and why you should be true to yourself. It's about someone who tells themselves they're going to use a lie to buy time to fulfil their potential... but then they don't do that, and so then they're lying to themselves as well as everyone else... with hilarious consequences.
What makes a great storyteller?
Anyone but me! You haven't been here... this poor crew are already overrunning late. I am the worst storyteller in the history of storytelling, but I'm sure it'll be well edited together. I reckon the best storyteller would probably be Obama, someone like that.
Who's your favourite storyteller of all time?
I'd like to say Kathy Burke because she's my idol and she portrays comedy and heartbreak. She would make people laugh and cry.
Bob Mortimer
On Wednesday 1st February, Bob Mortimer reads The Despot Of Tea. Guide
What is your Crackanory story about?
My story is about an English actor who takes a journey to a far, far faraway land called Molgavia to do an advert for tea. During the course of his adventures there he overthrows a despotic government. He didn't mean to, but well done him! How he did it? You'll have to watch to find out.
What do you think makes a great storyteller?
I think the main attribute for a great storyteller is the timbre of the voice, simple as that really. Simon Callow, Stephen Fry... that kind of guy. Unfortunately, I think I probably prefer a posh voice to a regional voice. I probably shouldn't say that, but that's the way it is.
Who is your favourite storyteller of all time?
My favourite storyteller has to be my child, when he was young and innocent, because I love the way he found parts of the story important that really aren't important, and glossed over the bits that really have the detail and the meat in them. It makes me laugh, even now.
Anna Friel
On Thursday 2nd, Anna Friel presents The Survivor. Guide
(If you watch the video, some but not all of the below interview is a repeat)
What is your Crackanory story about?
It depends on how much you want me to give away... I'd say that it's ultimately a love story, a tragic love story, and how much you're willing to give for that love.
A man has been frozen and wakes up 100 years later, and we find out that he holds the power to get rid of a disease. But who is he helping at the end of the day?
What makes a great storyteller?
I think it helps if you're musical, because there's so much musicality to telling a story; and a good voice quality, which often helps by having a good musical understanding - and the main thing obviously is having a great imagination.
What is your favourite story of all time?
I love stories that centre around a wonderful heroine, so I'd have to say Anna Karenina.
Mel Giedroyc
Mel Giedroyc starts the second week of stories, on Monday 6th February, with Proxy Lady. Guide
(If you watch the video, some but not all of the below interview is a repeat)
What is your Crackanory story about?
My Crackanory story is about a woman called Greta. She works in IT, she's a geek, and she falls in love online with a man called Brian. She doesn't want to send her own photo to Brian because she doesn't think she looks quite, maybe enticing enough, so she finds another person to pretend to be her; to be her and go on a date with Brian when he says 'look, can we meet up in person?'
And that, my friend, is all I'm going to tell you, because it takes a very very good couple of twists. That's just the outline of the story. Is Greta who we think she is? Is Brian who we think he is? And I'm certainly not going to tell you the ending, which is a real surprise!
What do you think makes a great storyteller?
I think a great storyteller is someone who can hold your attention and keep you there just by the power - the timbre, let's say - of their voice. It's all about the voice darling, it's all about the vocal training! Luckily I have training especially for Crackanory, so I will be providing a very special timbre to keep the audience on their seats.
Who is your favourite storyteller of all time?
I don't know if he's ever actually told any stories, but I love Sean Bean's voice, and I would love him to come to my house personally and tell me a few stories, maybe within the confines of my darkened room. He's got that real gritty, 'once upon a time' [style]. I'd love that. I think he'd make a great storyteller if he isn't one already, which he probably is. I can't imagine him doing Mallory Towers or something like that; it would have to be something quite 'edge', but I think he'd be really good. Or Miriam Margolyes. I love her. Her telling of Dahl stories is second to none. She tells an amazing story.
Do you think we tell enough stories to each other these days?
I don't think we feel we have enough time to tell each other stories. I am all for a story. I suppose we gossip, and we spend an awful lot of time doing that with each other. A good gossip is actually somebody who can tell a really good story, who can pull you in. But as far as sitting down, putting the lights down low, getting a few candles out... I'm going to do it tonight! You've inspired me.
The answer is 'no', we don't tell each other enough stories but we should do though, shouldn't we? Definitely.
Doc Brown
Doc Brown reads The Devil's Haircut on Tuesday 7th. Guide
(If you watch the video, some but not all of the below interview is a repeat)
What is your Crackanory story about?
This episode of Crackanory is a real Robert Johnson type fable about a musician who sells his soul to the devil.
What makes a great storyteller?
I think you need a sort of richness and a bit of range to your voice, and you also need to relate to the story somehow so that when it has these big peaks and troughs and emotional beats you are really there with it. I think if you have a combination, then you're great. Mostly though if you've got a great voice then you can read the phone book and people will still sit up and listen.
What's your favourite story of all time?
I think that's real tough one, there are loads. There'd have to be a Roald Dahl story up there, probably George's Marvellous Medicine. I love that story. I love the element of 'your Grandma's a bitch, what if you killed her?' Superb. That's a children's story and such brilliant storytelling - funny, dangerous and edgy, so maybe that.
Favourite storyteller?
Probably Morgan Freeman. I know he's not strictly speaking a storyteller but when you hear his voice you're like 'yep, I'll buy that.'
Who would you choose to read you a bedtime story?
I think maybe Ronnie Corbett; rest in peace. It would be great to have him sat there, his little legs dangling off the chair. Just giving it a few of those... [shakes glasses].
Do you think we tell each other enough stories?
I think the element of sharing stories with people is everything, there's not a comedian on the planet who is as funny as when a mate of mine goes 'you need to hear this'. I think we definitely tell each other enough stories, we don't need to worry about that; it's just a shame we don't harness them more to turn them into fantastic television... like Crackanory.
Mackenzie Crook
Mackenzie Crook fronts The Disappearance on Wednesday 8th. Guide
(If you watch the video, some but not all of the below interview is a repeat)
What is your Crackanory story about?
My Crackanory story is about a magician who loses that sense of magic and descends into madness. So I shaved my head for the part. I thought that would be a good thing to do, to prove how into it I am.
What makes a great storyteller?
For me, a great story is one that has a beginning and an end, and a middle; and not necessarily one that's populated with well-drawn characters - although that does help as well. So those are the three most important elements.
Who is your favourite storyteller of all time?
That's the impossible question, isn't it, because there are just so many. So, at the risk of trotting out the same list as everyone who comes on the show, I'd have to say the obvious ones, the greats. [Crook then lists a lot of fictitious writers]...
Henry Bloomsberg, Franz Menth, Serjey Pantos, W P Maugham, William Someret, Frank J. Rhodes, all the greats... Smith obviously, Lancaster, James Serasmith, Clay Laramore - all the greats that crop up on these lists time and time again, Turgeyev, Perkins. But then I also read a Rodney Quavers, or a Dame Peggy Rathbone, Frank Borowitz, Hilary Quake. You know? All the greats!
Who would you choose to read you a bedtime story?
Kanye West, probably, just to bring him down a peg or two, having to sit on the side of my bed reading me a story with me all snuggled up in my jim jams. And I'd probably get him to rub my back a bit while he's reading, and do voices... to stop him showing off for at least a few minutes.
What is your favourite story of all time?
The Boy Who Cried Wolf, I'll have that one. And there's one about a boy in a well, although I might have made that up.
Miriam Margolyes
The final episode of Series 4 sees Miriam Margolyes reading Pickled. Guide
(If you watch the video, some but not all of the below interview is a repeat)
What is your Crackanory story about?
The Crackanory story that I was asked to read surprised me very much because it was, I thought, rather rude. I don't know why they gave it to me! It's about a wastrel from the upper classes - most of them are wastrels, aren't they, really? He happens by chance to come in to a house in which there is an incredibly strange person... It is scary, and funny, and shocking; a very good story.
What do you think makes a great storyteller?
A great storyteller is someone who can weave magic using character and structure and prose. And, of course, from my point of view, there's only Charles Dickens because he's the best and the greatest storyteller of all. But, a storyteller that can hold your attention, fascinate you and make you want to know what's coming next, that's the secret.
Who would you choose to give you a bedtime story?
It's very difficult to know, because in an ideal world it would be my mother who is long dead, but she used to read to me when I was little and I would always say to her "read it again, read it again!". She could never understand why I wanted to hear it again. But these days, now, there are two men whose voices I love. One of them is Charles Dance and the other is Martin Jarvis, and I could listen to them until my eyes closed.
What is your favourite story of all time?
My favourite story of all time is probably Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens. I'm just locked into the nineteenth century, and everything after it feels rather irrelevant to me. I love a story that's got a moral to it, and that's what's so lovely about the story I've recorded for Crackanory. I was in the film of Little Dorrit and I've read it over and over again all my life, I never get tired of it. For me, a story has to have wonderful characters. Charles Dickens believed that we should all be better to one another and the world would be a better place, and I think he's right.

, Respondents: DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, RAMON C. TONGSON and RODRIGO G. CAWILI, Crime: violation of Batas Pambansa Bilang 22 (B.P. Blg. 22) Lower Court Decision: dismissed the charges against Tongson Court of Appeals Decision: dismissed Luis Panaguiton, Jr.s (petitioners) petition for certiorari and his subsequent motion for reconsideration. Supreme Court Decision: GRANTED. The resolutions of the Court of Appeals dated 29 October 2004 and 21 March 2005 are REVERSED and SET ASIDE. The resolution of the Department of Justice dated 9 August 2004 is also ANNULLED and SET ASIDE. The Department of Justice is ORDERED to REFILE the information against the petitioner. Factsw In 1992, Cawili borrowed money from Panaguiton amounting to P1,979,459. In 1993, Cawili with his business associate Tongson issued 3 checks as payment Significantly, all three (3) checks bore the signatures of both Cawili and Tongson. Upon presentment for payment on 18 March 1993, the checks were dishonored, either for insufficiency of funds or by the closure of the account. During preliminary investigation, Tongson claimed that he was not Cawilis business associate. On Dec. 6 1995 City Prosecutor III Eliodoro V. Lara found probable cause only against Cawili and dismissed the charges against Tongson. Petitioner then appeal before DOJ and in 1997 DOJ found that it was indeed possible for Tongson to co-signed the checks. It then directed the City Prosecutor of Quezon City to conduct a reinvestigation of the case against Tongson and to refer the questioned signatures to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Assistant City Prosecutor Ma. Lelibet S. Sampaga (ACP Sampaga) dismissed the complaint against Tongson without referring the matter to the NBI per the Chief State Prosecutors resolution. ACP Sampaga held that the case had already prescribed pursuant to Act No. 3326, as amended, which provides that violations penalized by B.P. Blg. 22 shall prescribe after four (4) years. Moreover, ACP Sampaga stated that the order of the Chief State Prosecutor to refer the matter to the NBI could no longer be sanctioned under Section 3, Rule 112 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure because the initiative should come from petitioner himself and not the investigating prosecutor.
Issues 1. Whether or not the rule on prescription as provided for in Act No. 3326 applies to offenses under B.P. 22 Ruling We agree that Act. No. 3326 applies to offenses under B.P. Blg. 22. An offense under B.P. Blg. 22 merits the penalty of imprisonment of not less than thirty (30) days but not more than one year or by a fine, hence, under Act No. 3326, a violation of B.P. Blg. 22 prescribes in four (4) years from the commission of the offense or, if the same be not known at the time, from the discovery thereof. Nevertheless, we cannot uphold the position that only the filing of a case in court can toll the running of the prescriptive period. It must be pointed out that when Act No. 3326 was passed on 4 December 1926, preliminary investigation of criminal offenses was conducted by justices of the peace, thus, the phraseology in the law, institution of judicial proceedings for its investigation and punishment,[39] and the prevailing rule at the time was that once a complaint is filed with the justice of the peace for preliminary investigation, the prescription of the offense is halted.[40] *************** Indeed, to rule otherwise would deprive the injured party the right to obtain vindication on account of delays that are not under his control.[55] A clear example would be this case, wherein petitioner filed his complaint-affidavit on 24 August 1995, well within the four (4)-year prescriptive period. He likewise timely filed his appeals and his motions for reconsideration on the dismissal of the charges against Tongson. He went through the proper channels, within the prescribed periods. However, from the time petitioner filed his complaint-affidavit with the Office of the City Prosecutor (24 August 1995) up to the time the DOJ issued the assailed resolution, an aggregate period of nine (9) years had elapsed. Clearly, the delay was beyond petitioners control. After all, he had already initiated the active prosecution of the case as early as 24 August 1995, only to suffer setbacks because of the DOJs flip-flopping resolutions and its misapplication of Act No. 3326. Aggrieved parties, especially those who do not sleep on their rights and actively pursue their causes, should not be allowed to suffer unnecessarily further simply because of circumstances beyond their control, like the accuseds delaying tactics or the delay and inefficiency of the investigating agencies. We rule and so hold that the offense has not yet prescribed. Petitioner s filing of his complaintaffidavit before the Office of the City Prosecutor on 24 August 1995 signified the commencement of the proceedings for the prosecution of the accused and thus effectively interrupted the prescriptive period for the offenses they had been charged under B.P. Blg. 22. Moreover, since there is a definite finding of probable cause, with the debunking of the claim of prescription there is no longer any impediment to the filing of the information against petitioner. WHEREFORE, the petition is GRANTED. The resolutions of the Court of Appeals dated
29 October 2004 and 21 March 2005 are REVERSED and SET ASIDE. The resolution of the Department of Justice dated 9 August 2004 is also ANNULLED and SET ASIDE. The Department of Justice is ORDERED to REFILE the information against the petitioner.

Just figured Id ask...
Bunch of people here said Zion wasnt worth the hype, was a bust, a role player at best. How you feeling now?
However, the thought of trading Randle is appealing along with whoever else but then you also trade your pick too especially if you guys were suggesting that you wanted Devin Booker for your team
That Nesmith kid is exactly the type of dead eye shooter the Knicks need and have never had at SG... He has Ray Allen written all over him. He is the type of player that Miami Heat usually draft. If we can get Haliburton and Nesmith that would be a terrific draft.

Zion is 19 and can't even play back to back games...lol
Last edited by Knicks Boogie; 02-15-2020 at 10:41 AM.
You think theres any surprise about how he plays? They know all about it, its easy to say all he can do is dunk. Should be easy to stop already then, right? And I bet he will be able to hit enough of a shot to keep teams somewhat honest. He just hasnt had to. And Blake couldnt shoot at first, he learned. Whether or not Zion can stay healthy has zero to do with saying his game wouldnt translate, or hes a role player/bust. Dude is a straight up beast, there was never a doubt
Kind of like how all Shaq could do was dunk. Easy to stop, right?

Now back to the Knicks as an organization as for who they should draft? Logical answer is LaMelo Ball but then again there come all of you Knick fans who say that y'all don't want LaMelo because of the stigma that comes with him being Lonzo's brother but also the stigma of his father LaVar. But then again LaMelo has been distancing himself from his father LaVar so shouldn't that count for something especially if he is playing all the way out in Australia playing in the NBL which is no easy league mind you. LaMelo is putting up numbers in that league in spite of LaVar and Lonzo. In fact hell, he is way better than his older brother Lonzo.
However, knowing the Knicks like I do, they will probably pass on LaMelo and if they do and he becomes a star in this league then y'all are gonna kick yourselves for not drafting him when you had the chance.
Haliburton I don't see how this man's draft stock goes up especially with that injury but as far as Nesmith...I don't even think I have even heard of him until now but seeing his game...he's got potential

He died today after days of remaining in a coma. The 27-year old was arrested last week for an undisclosed violation. The police said that he was restrained on the ground by an officer during the arrest, but appeared to be fine when he was taken to the district station. However, a cell phone video shows that the arresting officers used force that some may seen as "brutal."

Are you someone who has shed a notable amount of weight in the last few years or vice versa? One thing sure for both of these cases is that you need to get your ring resized. However, there can be other reasons you want to resize your ring, such as you received a surprise proposal and the ring doesn't fit in your finger or you estimated a wrong size.
If you are having a ring made in gold or platinum, it can be easily resized but if you own one made in silver, resizing it is very hard. But, before knowing whether resizing a silver ring weakens it or not, it is important to understand different types of resizing.
Types of Resizing
There are only two types of resizing - resizing up and resizing down. Resizing down means decreasing the size and resizing up means increasing the size. When a silver ring is resized down, the jeweller cuts the extra metal and solder both the ends again. When it comes to increasing the size of a ring, these two methods are followed:
- An extra piece of metal is added to the bottom. The ring increases by 2 sizes and the customer need to pay for craftsmanship and extra material.
- By slightly stretching the ring's band. It might increase by less than 1 size but overall, the ring becomes weaker and thinner.
Does resizing a silver ring weaken it?
Now, coming back to the topic, it won't be wrong to say that by now you already have an idea what resizing does to a ring. Yes, it weakens the silver ring also. Whether you go for increasing or decreasing the size of your silver ring, the procedure will reduce its strength.
When your sterling silver ring is resized up or down by adding or removing a small piece of metal at the bottom, the final step is a weld joint. This joint decreases the original strength of the ring and makes it prone to break easily.
When you want to resize your silver ring by less than 1 size, it is usually done by stretching. But this stretching weakens the silver metal of your ring, makes it thinner, and cause the ring to break easily.
Repeated bending is another reason why resizing weakens a silver ring. While resizing, your ring needs to be repeatedly bent which hardens and weakens it. This process works once or twice but when you get your ring resized, again and again, it will become weak and any attempts to resize it in future will cause it to fracture.
Thus, it can be concluded that repeated resizing of a silver ring weakens it. If you are fortunate enough to get a really talented jeweller, your ring can be resized many times even after losing its strength.
If you want a ring in sterling silver that will not only fit your finger well but will also last a few resizes, you should visit Begna, the trendiest online jewellery store in London.

HARARE- Scores of Zimbabwean artists have directly benefitted from the country's cultural, political and economic ties with China.
The Director of the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe Mr Nicholas Moyo, says the increased cooperation between China and Zimbabwe has created tangible opportunities for Zimbabwean Artists to showcase their work.
"The cordial cultural ties with China have benefitted scores of local artists who have had an opportunity to participate at prestigious events hosted in China. Such events put artists at the forefront of enhanced cooperation between the two countries," he said.
Mr Moyo said this while addressing local and Chinese residents at 7Arts Theatre in Avondale at festivities celebrating the start of the Chinese Lunar year last week.
He said the Chinese New Year celebrations, were of important significance as they coincided with the 40th anniversary of relations between Zimbabwe and China.
Assistance to the arts and culture sector in Zimbabwe by China is guided by the Executive Programme for the years 2020 to 2023 which aims to keep direct connections between Zimbabwean and Chinese Cultural Institutions.
Mr Moyo said China and Zimbabwe were all-weather friends whose cooperation spanned across economic, trade, political and cultural ties.
"China has provided Zimbabwe with practical cooperation involving Megaprojects like the New Parliament building Project which are a vivid reflection of the Chinese government's commitment to Zimbabwe," he said.
The ambassador of China to Zimbabwe, Mr Guo Shaochün, said the New year celebrations were particularly important for Zimbabwe as they came soon after the Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr Wang Yi concluded his visit to Africa with a tour of Zimbabwe.
"The visit is itself important as it shows that China prioritises its relationship with Zimbabwe and is a serious partner for the development of Africa," said Mr Guo.
The event which ushered in the Chinese Spring festival was graced by the Minister of Information Media and Broadcasting Services Senator Monica Mutsvangwa and comprised a two-hour performance of music, traditional Chinese dances and instrumental performances by the world-renowned Chinese National Opera dance and Drama theatre from Beijing.
Local and Chinese artists under the banner of the Jacaranda Media and Culture Corporation (JCMC) also performed at the event which was supported by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The China Zimbabwe Business Association and various corporates.

Only a few days ago the apparently frenzied self -styled man of God revealed their fresh devilish plot against Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha . He brazenly told the BBC Igbo Service that "Ihedioha will go to Jail".
Understanding that Mbaka is the mouth piece of a highly orchestrated and connected ring afraid and against the growing political stature, influence and accomplishments of Ihedioha it is important that this threat is not treated with kids gloves and the vast majority of Nigerians and the global community informed of the fresh line of battle against Ihedioha
More so, this was the same pattern the criminal and fraudulent subversion of the mandate collectively bequeathed to Ihedioha by Imolites was scripted and hatched using the Supreme Court
It is also curious that threat was manifestly thrown up the moment Ihedioha returned to the Supreme Court to seek for a review of the bundled and bizarre judgement. This is because of their recognition that Ihedioha has an unassailable good case capable of impelling the apex court to reinstate him as Governor , necessitating the fresh plot of roping him with phantom scenarios as implied in Mbaka's outbursts
The compelling question Mbaka must answer include; between Ihedioha and himself who should be the right jall candidate?
Not a few Nigerians believe that Mbaka is the right person to be in jail given his central role in the day light robbery of Ihedioha's mandate. Besides, the perceived con manner he runs his Ministry given the intensified way he targets and hoodwinks candidates of various political parties for exttortonist tendency is also instructive. His encounter with Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State and PDP Vice Presidential candidate during the 2019 election and several politicians including Governor Ganduje of Kano State at his Adoration Ministry December, 2019 lends credence to this.
Perhaps, Mbaka wants Ihedioha to go to jail for bringing joy and happiness to Imo pensioners he commenced monthly payment of their entitlements as Governor after six years of non-payment. Or because of workers he increased their salary from 70 percent Rochas Okorocha paid them to 100 percent within three months of his government
Mbaka should let the world know whether Ihedioha's crime is the 25 roads projects he commenced rehabilitation and reconstruction simultaneously in the state within seven months towards grappling with the infrastructural development ruins of the state. Or is it the transparency, accountability and due process he enthroned in the state through the introduction of Treasury Single Account and revitalization of
Procurement and Intelligence Agency. Mbaka should be told in unmistakable fashion that under Ihedioha a painstaking corruption survey carried out by the National Bureau of Statistics and relevant international development agencies among the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory in the last half of 2019 showed Imo as the least corrupt state in the country.
Besides, Mbaka must be informed that Ihedioha"s recourse to accountability , transparency and integrity was instrumental in scaling up the Internally Generated Revenue from N250m to N 1.2b monthly before the Supreme Court struck.
It is on record and incontrovertible that Ihedioha has an excellent track record of character, integrity and honesty which have never been questioned or challenged. Can Mbaka in all honesty say the same thing about his co-travelers? Certainly no!
Evidently, Mbaka's comments, actions and outbursts make many tend to liken him to old testament Saul when the spirit of God departed from him at the twilight of Israel kingship in its place was evil spirit that tormented him to behave like a lunatic. It is therefore imperative for Mbaka and his cohorts to understand that any attempt to frame up Ihedioha who is using legal push to reclaim his robbed mandate will have both national and global backlashes.

Every 51 minutes, another person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for approximately one-third of every fatalities.
You can find more drunk driving statistics on the Mothers against Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the position of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns feign to educate American drivers virtually drunk driving? This article will pay for a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private incorporation groups, advocating for widespread response of something called buzzed driving. in view of that what is it?
Buzzed driving is a unconditionally simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed rapidly by the bloodstream and common tests, like a breathalyzer, can operate the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving bearing in mind a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or later is illegal in all state. At that concentration, drivers going on for invariably experience sedation and slower recognition times. In other words, its understandably dangerous to steer in the manner of that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is conveniently having a BAC demean than 0.08% but well along than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont correct The mannerism I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One financial credit from UC San Diego that evaluated crash reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than ascetic drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far more risky than driving sober.
The genuine hardship is that American comport yourself and public policy tend to see upon 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. under that extraction and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a smash increases steadily and well from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no rushed transition following comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is secure in the perfect analysis.
The balance from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal slight Prevention. You can entrance a summary here.
The Worlds Stance upon Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a genuine limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances genuine limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia every have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized following scratchy fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds single-handedly regions to use 0.08% BAC as its genuine limit.
Has The work up Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public utility announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving preparedness campaign. on their website, they bank account that their ads reached approximately one half of every American adults higher than the age of 21. And that there was a significant enlargement in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned about the thing of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And though public preparedness is no question important, Americas legislators have nevertheless to respond to our other understanding of buzzed driving. In fact, taking into consideration most give access governments deliver to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers under 21 or target straightforwardly that they wont tolerate any driver behind a BAC greater than 0.08%.
Only get older will tell whether or not come clean governments follow through upon the current research. put up to in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas real limit to 0.05%, but no allow in has yet to talk to this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another reply has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of marginal tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol manipulation and abuse. The underlying premise to this raise a fuss is that some drunk drivers pretense vehicles though impaired because (in suitably many words) they cant support it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might bow to some impaired drivers off the road in the similar gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In pedigree in imitation of recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more version than contrast between alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This extraction of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a investigation released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of every drivers who were killed in crashes and tested determined for drugs in addition to had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the misfortune is mixed. And the answer might be, too.

Below is my thorough ClickFunnels Evaluation, including favorite attributes, pricing, pros/cons, and contrasts against competitors.
Clickfunnels Affiliate Signs Up 500 People: However First, Exactly What Is a Sales Channel?
Sales funnels (additionally called advertising funnels) are multi-step campaigns that are made to move possible prospects with your sales process, as well as turn them right into customers.
Photo a real-life funnel. At the top, you pour fluid in, which limits towards one dealt with location.
In sales, a comparable event takes place. At the top, visitors come to your web site, yet not all who go into make it from the various other end as buyers.
Many points need to happen from the time a site visitor enters your funnel, to the time they do something about it as well as effectively complete a purchase.
By breaking down the consumer's journey right into smaller sized actions, you can be a lot more exact about just how when you provide a deal to your target market.
The comprehensive action in a channel could look something such as this:

- Web page interacts the very first deal (something free to gather an e-mail).

- Lead comes to be a paying consumer.
- More e-mail interaction supplying customer worth.

ClickFunnels also has a graphic that describes this in a simple way:.

As pointed out earlier, ClickFunnels is the very best sales channel software program around today.
The business makes the bold insurance claim of giving you everything you should market, sell, as well as supply your products online – as well as they most definitely supply.

ClickFunnels offers a Cost-free 14-Day Test, so you get to explore the device and also truly see if it's right for your organisation.
Favorite Attributes
* Swiftly Create Pages Using Themes and Aspects *.
Before getting as well much, it's important to recognize that a channel is a collection of pages assembled in a tactical order, with the objective of transforming as several potential customers into consumers. And a web page is just a collection of different components developed to get a person to take a particular action.
ClickFunnels provides even more compared to 50 various aspects to assist you develop the excellent page.

You could likewise connect any type of funnel you create with your very own email advertising and marketing solution (if you do not use the one consisted of in ClickFunnels), and also use the ClickFunnels built in payment system.
This is also a great time to state that ClickFunnels supplies extremely valuable and understandable training videos when you initially sign up. I highly advise undergoing those due to the fact that they promptly enable you to utilize the device at its complete capability, as well as you'll have more enjoyable messing around. Clickfunnels Affiliate Signs Up 500 People
* Produce One-Click Membership Sites *.
Among the very best functions with ClickFunnels is the capacity to easily create membership sites and also provide content to your target market in one location.
Your subscription site will come full with registration pages, subscription gain access to pages, and web content pages which you could quickly secure or leak feed to your clients inning accordance with acquisitions they made in your funnel.
ClickFunnels subscription sites enable you to send emails, conveniently manage your e-mails, and build an area all while eliminating the tension that's connected with other remedies such as Kajabi, or WordPress platforms.
It's actually useful to not have to buy a different software program or plugin to create membership sites.
* Email Combination & Actionetics *.
With every funnel comes email listing structure chances.
ClickFunnels sustains email assimilation with all of the significant email automation systems such as:
- Active Campaign
- Aweber
- Constant Contact
- ConvertKit
- Drip
- Get Response
- Hubspot
- InfusionSoft
- Mad Mimi
- MailChimp
- Market Hero
- Ontraport
- Salesforce
- Sendlane
- And others
However, ClickFunnels likewise has their very own powerful automation tool called Actionetics.
Although you could create, timetable, and also supply emails as with any other e-mail advertising platform, Actionetics is so much a lot more.
I like Actionetics due to the fact that it not just changes your e-mail marketing yet carrier marketing and also SMS advertising software applications too. This takes automation to a whole new level and assists you communicate the excellent message to your clients, specifically when they require it. A video clip review of Actionetics will be provided additionally listed below.
* Invoicing and also Payment Integration *.
A remarkable feature within ClickFunnels is the ability to collect all of the billing details from your consumers precisely your sales web page. Offering is made so much easier when customers do not need to leave your website.
ClickFunnels integrates with significant payment entrances such as PayPal, Red Stripe, and also InfusionSoft, to name a few.
ClickFunnels Rates.
While you can begin with the Free 14-Day Test, there are three different rates alternatives with ClickFunnels:
- $ 97/month.
- $ 297/month.
- $ 997 mass discount rate plan (recommended).
I'll explain for every of these strategies below.
1. ClickFunnels Criterion Strategy – $97/month.
The standard plan consists of all of the features you would certainly require within ClickFunnels, but with restrictions on the variety of funnels (20) and also web pages (100) you can have in your account, as well as the number of site visitors (20K) can watch your web pages each month.
You also do not receive advanced performance such as ClickFunnels very own email advertising and also associate monitoring tools.
2. ClickFunnels Etison Collection – $297/month.
This strategy consists of all the bells and also whistles of the common strategy, without any restrictions. It likewise has 2 extra items produced by ClickFunnels called Actionetics (e-mail advertising and marketing) and Knapsack (affiliate monitoring platform).
In Actionetics – you can handle all your calls that register for your listing, send e-mail programs, and also develop a host of various other automations. Clickfunnels Affiliate Signs Up 500 People
The distinction between the two plans truly is the restrictions, as well as Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a standard individual as well as do not expect to utilize greater than 20 funnels in your account – the Criterion Strategy ought to be enough.
However, if you intend to have an associate program or intend to maintain your email marketing within ClickFunnels and not utilize a third party software, the Etison Collection is for you.
You could constantly start on the lower strategy as well as upgrade if needed.
3. Funnel Hacks System – $997
For anybody that's serious concerning their business, the ClickFunnels Funnel Hacks System is the bargain of the century.
The $997 Funnel Hacks System has robust training programs bundled with 6-month access to the ClickFunnels Etison Suite.
This is an incredible bargain since outside of this program, 6-months of Etison Collection alone would cost you $1782.
Not just are you conserving $785 yet you're obtaining a ton of trainings and guides to help you get the most from ClickFunnels!

ClickFunnels versus Every person Else.
Many people ask just how ClickFunnels as compares to various other landing page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and also Infusionsoft.
Generally it's not really a fair comparison since each of these tools succeeds is one area or the other.
The graph over offers an extensive evaluation – yet I'll highlight some of the major comparisons below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Before ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the huge pet dog.
Leadpages is merely a lead capture software application – absolutely nothing more. You can create landing web pages, lead boxes, collect leads … that's pretty much it. Furthermore, the Leadpages layouts are likewise restricted on modification.
ClickFunnels is far more functional – it's much easier to utilize as well as does so a lot more than produce lead capture pages.
Put simply, Leadpages is actually just a landing web page builder, while ClickFunnels is concentrated around constructing very incorporated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a landing page or sales page home builder. It has some of that performance developed it, however that's not just what it's understood for.
At it's core, Infusionsoft is a CRM system – one that permits you to manage your entire customer database. ClickFunnels has this capability with Actionetics, yet it's not nearly as advanced as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is likewise incredibly pricey as well as forces every new customer to pay $2000 for a mandatory kickstart coaching bundle just to discover how you can utilize the intricate system (which is infamously tough to make use of).
ClickFunnels Associate Program
There are two primary paths people drop as ClickFunnels users.
Those that opt to use the tool for their organisation – in hopes of eventually attain the Two Comma Club (over $1M in income).
As well as those that are interested in making passive earnings as a ClickFunnels Associate as well as winning the Desire Car Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 in the direction of your dream auto if you reach 100/200 active month-to-month signups, specifically).
With a massive 40% month-to-month reoccuring compensation, ClickFunnels easily has one of the greatest associate programs of any type of system available.
That's right – you get paid a continuous 40% compensation on every affiliate signup you make via the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program. However, what does that actually equate to?
The standard strategy is a $97/month investment and also the Etison Collection strategy is a $297/month investment. therefore you make $38.80 each basic plan and also $118.80 per Etison Collection plan … each and every month!
Usually, every 100 signups will certainly generate $4000/month in associate compensations (more or less relying on the amount of Etison Strategy individuals remain in there).
Go here to learn more about coming to be a ClickFunnels Affiliate.
The Bottom Line
ClickFunnels is hands down the best system if you are aiming to conveniently develop high transforming sales funnels.
Due to the fact that it was developed from scratch to be the very best sales channel building contractor, it defeats all of the competitors in that regard.
Externally, it might not be the most inexpensive item available – however if you use it to its complete ability, your organisation will become extra successful as well as you will save cash from not needing to make use of various other devices. Clickfunnels Affiliate Signs Up 500 People

psychic layering
Power And Protection From Your Ancestors
I come from a long line of female herbalists of European origins on my mother's side of the family. They were seers, healers, and prophets who combined their psychic gifts with ancient healing practices. Today, they still come to me during meditation, to offer wisdom.
The family's mainly Germanic connection is one I've researched for many years, but more recently I discovered that my ancestors crossed into Scandinavian and Norse territories too, which suggests a bloodline of fierce women who were warriors of their time. It's really not surprising to me, as even my own mother today, who is 84 years old, can still kick anyone's butt who crosses her path in an unkind way! I always knew she was strong when I was little, and I always admired her power and independence.
Protect Yourself With A Freezing Ritual
Rituals are a wonderful way to invite Spirit in to help you manifest the highest good in your life. When practiced faithfully, they can create deep transformation within you, strengthen your spiritual being, and manifest a shield of protection and power around you.
The 'freezing' ritual is one of my personal favorites in my own spiritual practice. It is powerful ritual for deflecting unreasonable people or situations, and protecting yourself from the negative energy they create.
'Freezing' the influence of negative people allows you to keep moving authentically and joyfully through your life, without unnecessary drains on your spirit or emotions. It is also an effective way to rebalance your own emotions and restore clarity. You can freeze energy drains, health problems, financial challenges or any outside conflicts that are keeping you stuck.
Psychic Protection 101
It is recommended to begin all spiritual activities, meditations, intuitive development exercises, as well as energy or healing work, with a basic psychic protection routine. A well-designed grounding, centering and shielding meditation or visualization exercise will create a solid safeguard and meditative energy foundation for any kind of spiritual practice session.
Centering is the process of anchoring and centralizing your inner, non-physical being within your physical body, while grounding (or earthing) refers to strengthening or reaffirming your connection with physical reality, the secular world and planet Earth.
Centering and grounding is therefore aimed at stabilizing yourself energetically, by firmly setting a mindful, harmonious balance between your body and soul, between the spiritual and the secular, between the physical and the metaphysical. Being grounded and centered is to feel safe and securely anchored in the physical world, while opening up to increased energy flow, and metaphysical or spiritual input. Continue reading
Empath Shielding
Empaths are very easily affected by other people's feelings and emotions, so their energy levels are highly susceptible to their energetic environment. Therefore it is vital that empaths learn to properly shield themselves from unwanted negative energy.
So how do you stop unwanted negativity from entering your energy system? How do you comfortably go through your day not being a sponge for all the feelings, emotions and energy of others? It is actually quite easy to shield yourself and maintain your boundaries once you practice a little.
First, you can cleanse your own aura when you get home with sage smudge sticks, or smokeless sage mist to remove any unwanted energy from your day. You can carry stones and crystals that ground you and absorb negativity, like apache tears or smoky quartz, on your person. Continue reading
The Seven Layers of The Auric Body
Clairvoyance is the ability to perceive things beyond the main bodily senses, and is a form of extra-sensory perception. Clairvoyance is harnessed and used for psychic readings, through retrocognition and precognition, and to potentially make contact with the dead through mediumship.
Psychic connections can be made with the human body through different portals of auric energy, of which there are seven. Each one is tied to a specific and personal aspect of ourselves, and clairvoyants can access each of these aura layers to do many different kinds of readings.
There are also instruments, such as special cameras that can pick up on some of the energy layers of an individual. Continue reading
Intuitive Color Meditations For Healing
Color and color healing is a powerful tool that you can use on yourself and also apply to you environment, and to help those you love.
We vibrate to color. Our chakras have different colors, as do our auras, and these are constantly changing based on our circumstances, mood, and health.
Science has caught up with the spiritual arts with clinical trials that use blue light-emitting diode (LED) lights for wound healing and treating some mood disorders, as well as infra red for mood disorders. The Ayurvedic system of healing goes further, incorporating the use of gemstones, which is also color based, for healing, and mood enhancement.
I like to teach people to work intuitively with color as a starting point, rather than teaching a prescribed color therapy system, as I feel this develops more of an initial feel for color. One can find a formal system later, if so desired. Continue reading
Keep Your Love Light Shining
You must have experienced the feeling of being in a great mood, and then encountering someone who is just not having a great day. You often feel in these situations that your heart is in the right place, but there is nothing you can do or say to raise that person's vibration to a happier, healthier one.
There are some people that you can help and give them a reality check, because you know them so well. You connect with them in a way that you can remedy their bad energy or mood, with a funny joke or something that will speak to their soul – if you know the person well enough.
If not, and nothing you can do can bring that person into a better mindset, then you must for your own personal well-being you must learn to just walk away to protect your own energy. Do whatever you need to do to get away from negative people you cannot help, especially if they are doing nothing but bring you down. You must learn to stay above it! Continue reading

Recent reviews
Very good 8.0 From 344 reviews
Resort was partially under construction keeping one towers completely closed and also keeping 3 of the restaurants closed as well
The grounds are to big and it is very far to move around, they need to have some kind of inside transportation ( golf cart etc. Food was excellent. Staff has to do many things at the same time, which ends up no servicing well to most guest.
Absolutely love this resort. Service is impeccable and it is very clean big and beautiful. Will be back soon.
Overall experience at Now Larimar was good. We stayed at the garden area of the hotel, which was located at the very front entrance of the hotel. Every time we wanted to do something though, we would have to walk down to the main hotel (they did however provide golf cart service down to the main hotel). Service at the hotel was very good, we were greeted with smiles and a very delicious watermelon drink. Food was overall decent however the restaurants were so busy, our group could never get in to eat at the fancier restaurants so we had to settle for the carnival buffet all 3 nights we were there. Pools closed at 6 o'clock which in my opinion is too early but the hotel did provide entertainment with shows, casino, night club, etc. The only bad thing I would say is that there were a lot of solicitors that were trying to get us to buy things especially while we were trying to enjoy ourselves at the beach. Overall experience was good. I would say that I would book here again in the further if I were to travel back to the Dominican Republic.
Room service food is horrible if you are lucky enough to get them to actually bring it to you.

Executive Director of ACT - Autism Community Training
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce parents to basic advocacy strategies. For families of children with invisible disabilities, including autism, ADHD, anxiety and a range of neurodiverse conditions, it is often a challenge to convince those in authority that one's child requires services beyond what a family can typically access.

With some Commander decks, you know exactly how you want to build it right away. You know just what cards to dig out of your collection, which ones you want to buy or trade for, which ones you'll get excited about when you find a foil in a booster. But sometimes you only have a vague idea, and it takes you a while to find your way to the deck. That's how it was for me with Samut, Voice of Dissent. It was an interesting journey, and what the deck turned out to be surprised me both with what it can do and how much fun it is to play.
The journey began when Samut was first spoiled, before Amonkhet was even released. My brother and I were looking at her and the suite of keywords she brings (double strike, vigilance, haste, and flash!) and decided she would make an awesome commander. When we tried to figure out what the deck would look like, we ran into a stumbling block that I'm sure is common to a lot of Commander deck-builds -- if the focus is on using Samut's ability to grant haste to other creatures for rapid attacks out of nowhere, should the deck include creatures that already have haste on them?
On one hand, playing a creature with haste when Samut is on the battlefield is a waste. On the other hand, commanders get killed a lot in commander games, so you can't be sure you'll always have Samut around to give your creatures a speed boost. Having haste creatures gives the deck's mechanical theme some resiliency. So the initial build of this deck (I say "build" but it was really just the "pull cards out of binders and boxes that look neat and put them in a pile" stage) included a lot of creatures like Boggart Ram-Gang, Blitz Hellion, and Hell's Thunder.
At that point I picked up a foil Samut, and then . . . the pile of cards sat there on the Magic table next to the unsorted cards and piles of tokens. And it sat there. I just didn't have a clear concept in my head for what the deck was going to be. So the pile of cards literally got dusty. If you look at the date this article was published and the release date for Amonkhet, you'll notice the pile of cards sat there for almost a year.
Eventually I knew I had to either build the deck or put the cards back into the proper boxes. I sat down and sorted everything into piles, as you do. That's when I got my second idea for the deck. A "savage wilderness" theme! I love theme decks! Building around a theme kind of gets you off the hook for deck-building because you're just cutting all the cards with machines or cities or civilized beings in them, and adding in lots of Gruul cards and cards with wilderness themes. But even at this point -- and I say this as someone who loves themed Commander decks -- it just wasn't very exciting.
If you look at the deck list below, you'll notice the wilderness theme is still present (I even carried it through to my choice of basics -- no Ravnica basics, just card art with actual trees and rugged mountain peaks, please). That's because building to the theme revealed an interesting mechanical angle. A lot of the "wild" cards were big creatures, high on the mana curve. I had a bunch of mana artifacts in the pile, but they didn't fit the theme at all. I had a lot of gGreen ramp spells too, the usual suspects like Cultivate and Explosive Vegetation. They fit the theme but felt predictable and boring. So I cut most of the mana rocks and all of the ramp spells, and came up with the idea that made the deck.
The idea was really serendipitous. First, I'd just recently played a game with a "Simic Good Stuff" deck, and I'd dropped Dictate of Karametra, then watched all the insane plays everyone at the table made with the barrels of mana they had available. Then, while working on the Samut deck, I found Overabundance. It's perfect for the wilderness theme, and it got me thinking about a different way to play a Big Mana Commander deck. Double everyone's mana, but have a lot of expensive creatures to play so that you can effectively take advantage of it better than everyone else. Breaking the symmetry!

Mana Flare, Mirari's Wake, Zhur-Taa Ancient, Keeper of Progenitus, even Zendikar Resurgent, you're all in the deck (Dictate of Karametra is notably absent, as I didn't have an extra copy, but feel free to add yours). All the haste creatures are out. There are some other options to include, if you're feeling hungry for even more mana: Heartbeat of Spring, Magus of the Candelabra, and Mana Reflection will do nicely. Let's assume Candelabra of Tawnos is outside your price range, and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger is unnecessarily harsh. To be honest, the current number of mana doublers in the deck feels about right, though I might add an Enlightened Tutor to help find one on demand.
When it comes to the top end creatures, you have a lot of options, and there's clearly room here to include your own favorites. I chose not to run any Eldrazi, for instance, although this is the perfect deck to get full advantage of cast triggers and Annihilator triggers. It depends how mean you want to be to your friends. Having a few tutors (Fauna Shaman and Worldly Tutor are here, and that new reprinting of Eladamri's Call will fit right in) helps you set up huge out-of-nowhere attacks. One of the best options is Pathbreaker Ibex, which unleashes insane alpha strike combat phases. Elvish Piper in your hand sets up powerful turns with as few as six lands on board, assuming one mana doubler. Play Samut, cast the Piper, use the hasty Piper to drop something monstrous onto the board and immediately attack with it. The many different ways you can play into a massive attack makes this feel at times more like a combo deck than a beatdown deck. It also sets it apart from the usual Big Mana decks. Samut makes things happen very suddenly.
You might notice that Samut's colors also happen to be the colors of Ixalan's dinosaur tribe. If you've been looking for a home for your dinos but don't feel like building the obvious Gishath, Sun's Avatar build, this is a good place for them. Charging Tuskodon, Etali, Primal Storm, Verdant Sun's Avatar, and Goring Ceratops are powerful beasts and you've got all the mana in the world to cast them. Regal Behemoth and Zacama, Primal Calamity will do amazing things in this deck as well. Samut doesn't give you a good way to take advantage of the Enrage mechanic, however, so a lot of the Enrageosaurs don't make the cut.
Let's talk about the mana base. It relies more on basic lands than most three-color decks. That's partly to make Keeper of Progenitus better, partly to reduce your vulnerability to non-basic land hate, and partly as a sort of deck-building challenge. We've all built plenty of decks full of every possible dual land variant we have available. Samut could use a full complement of fetches (slow and fast) and probably a Terramorphic Expanse, but right now the mana base works quite well, and it's a refreshing change to sit back with a full spread of basics in front of you.
There are some weaknesses to be aware of when playing this deck. While it has an aptitude for spewing an entire hand onto the battlefield in a single turn (note how awesome Rhonas's Monument is when this happens), it does not have a consistent draw engine. Shapers' Sanctuary will get you a few, and Soul's Majesty or Primordial Sage can refill your grip, but if you hate being in topdeck mode, adding Greater Good and Elemental Bond will help keep the cards flowing.
You are, of course, vulnerable to creature removal, especially someone 86ing Samut before the attack step. Asceticism is a possible answer, along with the usual suite of Commander staple equipment, but honestly, I don't think it's necessary. It's ok for decks to have Achilles' heels. Speaking of which, Kismet, Authority of the Consuls, and Thalia, Heretic Cathar -- and all the cards with similar effects -- are a real downer for Samut. This deck is not in the business of having answers to opponents' problem cards. Sure, you've got Bane of Progress and you can take out selected targets with Gruul Ragebeast triggers, but you're pretty much at the mercy of enchantments and artifacts. If that's a problem for you, Conclave Naturalists and Acidic Slime are obvious adds.
Samut ended up being an incredibly fun deck to play, and it accomplishes the original idea we had an entire year ago (hitting opponents with surprise haste attacks) in a completely different way than I expected. The wild-combo-like turns you can pull off are always exciting. Perhaps the most surprising thing about this deck is that I haven't come up with a clever name for it yet. If you have any ideas, or any suggestions for high-cost creatures I should be including, let me know in the comments!

I thought along the same lines as you are arguing here now some months ago. Unfortunately I was incorrect. Article 73 essentially says that a phyto is required for all plants (incl. seeds) that are NOT listed in article 72. The point of this article is that per another list, items can be excluded from that requirement (while items under art. 72 can never be excluded from the phyto requirement). Currently excluded are only 4 items: Fruits of pineapples, bananas, durian and dates. How you can get more items onto that list ist governed by another part of the regulation, but apparently you can't petition to have items moved to that list.
I think there would have been an easier way to make this clear in the regulation, but I guess the EU is not required to write regulations in a way that they may easily be understood by its subjects.
By the way, also excluded from the phyto requirement are plant products that are not plants in the sense of the regulation. The definition of plants is somewhere more in the beginning, forgot where.
If you still think this interpretation is incorrect, I guess there would be a point to write to the EU commission for an interpretation guideline. Certainly the German authorities interpret it as outlined above.
Best, TOBY
