| body | I recently traveled to Las Vegas with my whole family and in my opinion one of the best family attractions in Las Vegas, Nevada is the water parks! There are several water parks in the city that will take your whole family on an adrenaline-pumping water adventure. In fact, one of the <a href="https://oceansbeyondpiracy.org/8-water-parks-in-las-vegas/">water parks in Las Vegas</a> has the largest artificial wave in the world! We were very pleased with our trip, I think you should visit this place. |

With six days in Mexico City, you would think it would be ample amount of time to explore in and around the city, but we combined those six days with four trips <em>outside</em> of Mexico City and a lazy day because we forgot it was a holiday and everything was closed and found out we could have used one more day or two. (Or maybe we were both dreading the return to adulthood and responsibilities).<em>*This blog may contain affiliate links, in others words, it may drop a penny in my piggy bank. I only endorse products I use and I love. Pinkie promise!*</em>*<strong>scroll down to the</strong> <em><strong>very bottom</strong></em> <strong>to get your Mexico City In A Nutshell Itinerary</strong>*</p> <h2>Day 1: Wander the Streets</h2> <p>Arrive at the <strong>Mexico City International Airport</strong> and be reunited into Katy’s arms. We researched before the price & time it would cost us to get from the airport to the hostel; being the savvy and financially responsible people we are. We metro-ed it. Look for an orange box, fill your card with the max 40pesos. Go outside. Find bus number four. An hour of driving through El Centro, we arrived at our hostel. Walked up about 500 stairs, dumped our stuff and went to explore.Tacos and exploring are just about all that we conquered on day one.</p> <h1>Day One:</h1> <p>Explore the streets of El Centro, practice your Spanish, eat a taco ? or six.<strong>Plaza Santo Domingo</strong> is the smaller and less crazy plaza in El Centro. This plaza was once known for artists and printers; today is home to street vendors selling the likes of Mexican decor and flare. North of the plaza stands the small <strong>church of Santo Domingo</strong>, built in 1737 and was the first Dominican monastery to be established in Mexico. The building with the large horse statue in front is the <strong>Palacio de Minería</strong> (Palace of Mines); designed by Mexican architect Manuel Tolsá, this neoclassical building is where mining engineers were trained in the 19th century. </p> <p><strong>Palacio de Correos de Mexico</strong> is located in the heart of El Centro, between Plaza Santo Domingo and Bellas Artes. This gorgeous building is the fully functioning post office of Mexico City. Adamo Boari, the Italian architect responsible for the Italian stone facade will transport you back in time to an Italian atmosphere, with the classic Roman columns and his delicate jewel work showcased around the windows. <strong>Palacio de Bellas Artes</strong> is the cultural center of Mexico City. Certain times of the year, some of the most prominent events in the arts (music, dance, theatre, art, literature) are held here. The top floor decorated with elaborate white marble is home to some of the most famous murals fashioned by Mexican artists.<strong>“Climb to the Cafe Porfirio on the 8th floor of the Sears building, order cafe de olla and have the most stunning view of Bellas Arts from above.” </strong></p> <p>Right behind (and the left a little) of <strong>Bellas Arts</strong> is a street market, you can buy little trinkets or souvenirs, eat cakes or tacos. Most importantly, you can get a bag of <em>crickets,</em> add a little seasoning and munch on them (as if they were almonds or candies) OR you can ask for it in a taco and lather it in a spicy hot sauce. Either way, you’re in Mexico City so why not give it a try. People seem to rave about them.Try a cricket ? taco ?!</p> <p>Make sure you get more tacos!</p> <h2>Day Two: Monarch Butterfly Migration Tour</h2> <p>Our second day in Mexico City was dedicated to fulfilling <a href="http://chasingkrista.com/lifes-a-bucket/">bucket list dreams</a> and butterflies. In case you didn’t know (which I had absolutely no idea of anything related to these butterflies), monarch butterflies (the orange and black ones) cannot survive in cold climates (unlike other butterflies which can survive colder temperatures as a larva or even certain species, as adults). Solely based on environmental cues and their survival skills, every autumn and winter colonies of monarch butterflies migrate from the United States to the south (Mexico and Southern California – depending on the species of monarch butterflies).Each year these butterflies fly around 3500 miles to the forest of Michoacan, turning the trees orange and speckling the clear blue sky. The arrival of these butterflies coincides with Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in early November. Mexicans believe that these butterflies are souls of the deceased returning to Mexico.</p> <h6>TIME OUT ?. Let’s just reflect for a minute, because I love animals. These beautiful creatures (which we need in the food chain life to survive), are just like “okay guys, ? it is getting cold. Formation. Let’s fly south.” Then, two months later they are soaking in the sunshine, and sipping on some nectar in Mexico; continuing the circle of life and the food chain that our environment thrives on. Remarkable. If you are still super curious about these winged beauties flying thousands of miles every year, check out this <a href="https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/10/monarch-butterfly-migration/">NatGeo article</a>.</h6> <p>Our tour was construction through <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=132440&u=1619643&m=18208">Viator</a>; which took us to <strong>El Rosario</strong>, the butterfly sanctuary (protected by every country in North America), and El Oro. It is a full day tour, so starting super early, your guide will pick you up at your hotel, about a three-hour drive (or so) to the butterfly sanctuary. El Rosario included a horse ride up with a hike to witness the cluster of monarch colonies, a 2km hike back to the entrance where a droolingly delicious homemade meal was waiting for you. Afterwards, on your journey back to El Centro of Mexico City, you’ll stop in El Oro, a magical pueblo of Mexico.Sadly, we when witness one of natures greatest phenomenal it was a cloudy morning, meaning that the butterflies were still sleeping in their cluster of colonies. So we were unable to capture the vibrant orange soaring around the trees. You’ll have to plan a trip and see them with your very own eyeballs. </p> <h2>El Oro:</h2> <p>This was probably one of the most amazing tours we did, not because of the breathtaking views and drooling food but because of the people and our tour guides. They were so friendly and gave us loads of information (mostly about food) and our tour guides answered every question we asked and gave us beautiful handmade mugs from El Oro. I already miss them.</p> <h2>Day Three: Early Morning Teotihuacán & Tequila</h2> <p>A majority of people, historians, and archaeologists believe that Teotihuacán is the site where the <strong>universe was created</strong>. MINDBLOWN. I was most excited about this tour with <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=132440&u=1619643&m=18208">Viator</a>, not only did it state that we would have our own private archeologist (and I am always bursting with questions related to ancient temples) but we were doing the early morning tour, which means no one would be in my photos!Except, not. The morning started out a little rocky & we didn’t get breakfast. Our bus was 40 minutes late and there were 50+ people waiting to go on the same tour. That took a little bit of the personalized magic away from me, and the 40 minute delayed meant that we weren’t the first to arrive. Meh, but anywho, the site itself was momentous; learning about the Mayans and Aztecs and the influences they hold on today’s society in Mexico, was captivating.</p> <h3><a href="http://chasingkrista.com/2018/01/17/discovering-teotihuacan/"><strong>Click here or any of the photos to hear all about Teotihuacan & Tequila. </strong></a></h3> <h2>Day Four: Tasty Bites Food Tour</h2> <p>We were invited by Robert, the founder of Tasty Bites Food Tour to embark on a delicious adventure around El Centro of Mexico City, sampling various flavors of tacos. HEAVEN. IT WAS SIMPLE HEAVEN.</p> <p>?:katy_running_wild</p> <h2>Click any of the photos to learn more about our scrumptious and delicious Tasty Bites Food Tour</h2> <h2>Day Five: New Years Day, aimlessly roaming</h2> <p>For some reason, we didn’t correlate that New Years Day would mean that a majority of places would be closed. We planned to do the Chapultepec Castle, Frida Kahlo’s House, and the Archaeology Museum buuuuut they were closed. We decided to explore Condesa and Roma (the hipster, chic neighborhoods of Mexico City) instead, thinking that at least some cafes would be open or we’d be able to photoshoot against street art. But, the front desk of our hostel convinced us to explore <strong>Xochimilco</strong> – the neighborhood with the vibrantly neon colored boats and floating flower market. By metro & train, it was only a little hour away so we figured why not.</p> <p>When Mexico City or nearby neighborhoods are empty due to the holiday, I <em>don’t</em> suggest exploring them on your own. To be honest, this was one of the very few times in life that I felt unsafe. It took us an hour(ish) to get there, we got off the metro and followed the crowd and signs to the boat docks. Everyone around was Mexican, knew where they were going and didn’t seem to be there for touristy reasons. I hate saying this, I really do. But we listened to all the stereotypes and held our bags a little tighter, while youngster wannabe sped by on their bikes, and decided it wasn’t worth it. After we reached the boats and were haggled to jump aboard (two while girls on a huge ass boat), called some pretty nasty names because we kept saying no, we snapped some photos then made the smart decision to head back to El Centro.*If you plan on going during normal times (ie: not a holiday), I would advise going with a group, the boats are indeed large and would be financially smarter and safer to have at least five people or so.*<strong>Artesanias Ciudadela</strong> is a flea market to buy just about anything you want. Thankfully, it was completely closed. Not all shops were open and we were basically the only ones walking around but here is where you go to buy, well anything. I was too distracted to actually take photos of anything. </p> <p>Condesa and Roma Norte, are the two chic and hipster neighborhoods in Mexico City; known for their funky, cool street art, artsy and fashionable cafes. It is basically where you go to find the hottest Instagram spots (? ).<br> But, nevertheless a holiday = everything closed.</p> <h2>Day Six: Puebla & Cholula Day Trip</h2> <p>We again chose <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=132440&u=1619643&m=18208">Viator</a> to take us on a day trip to the magical cities of Puebla and Cholula. You may have seen photos of a gorgeous yellow church with a giant volcano right behind it, that my friends is Cholula and on a clear and cloudless day, the view of the church and the world’s largest pyramid is jaw-dropping. After you witness this magical landscape, you venture towards the magic town where it looks as if a rainbow exploded: Puebla.<strong>Click the photos to read more about our experience visiting these magical towns.</strong></p> <h2>Day Seven: Adios Mexico City</h2> <p>But, we can’t leave Mexico City without last-minute tacos and ice cream, of course!</p> <h4>When you find a travel partner in life, willing to go to the edges of the world with you, spend hours doing photoshoots regardless of the judges and stares, plan your outfits together or not and end up matching perfectly, eat tongues and bugs together, keep them. Keep them forever. Thanks Katy for being my travel buddy for life, you’re stuck with me!</h4> <p>Katy takes gorgeous photos of all the places we’ve been together plus her own travel stories around the world, make sure you check her out: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/katy_running_wild/">@katy_running_wild </a></p> <h5>Find your favorite photo on her feed and be sure to leave some love or better yet, tell her I sent you there. I’m curious to see if it works ?</h5> <h2>Mexico City In a Nutshell:</h2> <p>Day One: Explore El Centro: Church of Santo Domingo, Palacio de Minería, Palacio de Correos de Mexico Bellas Artes, Street Market, Casa de los Azulejos, and tacos & tacos & tacos.Day Two: Monarch Butterfly Day Tour & El Oro VisitDay Three: Teotihuacán Early Morning Tour & Tequila TastingDay Four: Tasty Bites Food Tour & Night Self TourDay Five: Xochimilco, Artesanias Ciudadela, Condesa & Roma NorteDay Six: Puebla & Cholula Day TripDay Seven: Adios Mexico City</p> <h1>Have you been to Mexico City???

With six days in Mexico City, you would think it would be ample amount of time to explore in and around the city, but we combined those six days with four trips <em>outside</em> of Mexico City and a lazy day because we forgot it was a holiday and everything was closed and found out we could have used one more day or two. (Or maybe we were both dreading the return to adulthood and responsibilities).<em>*This blog may contain affiliate links, in others words, it may drop a penny in my piggy bank. I only endorse products I use and I love. Pinkie promise!*</em>*<strong>scroll down to the</strong> <em><strong>very bottom</strong></em> <strong>to get your Mexico City In A Nutshell Itinerary</strong>*</p>\n<h2>Day 1: Wander the Streets</h2>\n<p>Arrive at the <strong>Mexico City International Airport</strong> and be reunited into Katy’s arms. We researched before the price & time it would cost us to get from the airport to the hostel; being the savvy and financially responsible people we are. We metro-ed it. Look for an orange box, fill your card with the max 40pesos. Go outside. Find bus number four. An hour of driving through El Centro, we arrived at our hostel. Walked up about 500 stairs, dumped our stuff and went to explore.Tacos and exploring are just about all that we conquered on day one.</p>\n<h1>Day One:</h1>\n<p>Explore the streets of El Centro, practice your Spanish, eat a taco ? or six.<strong>Plaza Santo Domingo</strong> is the smaller and less crazy plaza in El Centro. This plaza was once known for artists and printers; today is home to street vendors selling the likes of Mexican decor and flare. North of the plaza stands the small <strong>church of Santo Domingo</strong>, built in 1737 and was the first Dominican monastery to be established in Mexico. The building with the large horse statue in front is the <strong>Palacio de Minería</strong> (Palace of Mines); designed by Mexican architect Manuel Tolsá, this neoclassical building is where mining engineers were trained in the 19th century. </p>\n<p><strong>Palacio de Correos de Mexico</strong> is located in the heart of El Centro, between Plaza Santo Domingo and Bellas Artes. This gorgeous building is the fully functioning post office of Mexico City. Adamo Boari, the Italian architect responsible for the Italian stone facade will transport you back in time to an Italian atmosphere, with the classic Roman columns and his delicate jewel work showcased around the windows. <strong>Palacio de Bellas Artes</strong> is the cultural center of Mexico City. Certain times of the year, some of the most prominent events in the arts (music, dance, theatre, art, literature) are held here. The top floor decorated with elaborate white marble is home to some of the most famous murals fashioned by Mexican artists.<strong>“Climb to the Cafe Porfirio on the 8th floor of the Sears building, order cafe de olla and have the most stunning view of Bellas Arts from above.” </strong></p>\n<p>Right behind (and the left a little) of <strong>Bellas Arts</strong> is a street market, you can buy little trinkets or souvenirs, eat cakes or tacos. Most importantly, you can get a bag of <em>crickets,</em> add a little seasoning and munch on them (as if they were almonds or candies) OR you can ask for it in a taco and lather it in a spicy hot sauce. Either way, you’re in Mexico City so why not give it a try. People seem to rave about them.Try a cricket ? taco ?!</p>\n<p>Make sure you get more tacos!</p>\n<h2>Day Two: Monarch Butterfly Migration Tour</h2>\n<p>Our second day in Mexico City was dedicated to fulfilling <a href=\"http://chasingkrista.com/lifes-a-bucket/\">bucket list dreams</a> and butterflies. In case you didn’t know (which I had absolutely no idea of anything related to these butterflies), monarch butterflies (the orange and black ones) cannot survive in cold climates (unlike other butterflies which can survive colder temperatures as a larva or even certain species, as adults). Solely based on environmental cues and their survival skills, every autumn and winter colonies of monarch butterflies migrate from the United States to the south (Mexico and Southern California – depending on the species of monarch butterflies).Each year these butterflies fly around 3500 miles to the forest of Michoacan, turning the trees orange and speckling the clear blue sky. The arrival of these butterflies coincides with Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in early November. Mexicans believe that these butterflies are souls of the deceased returning to Mexico.</p>\n<h6>TIME OUT ?. Let’s just reflect for a minute, because I love animals. These beautiful creatures (which we need in the food chain life to survive), are just like “okay guys, ? it is getting cold. Formation. Let’s fly south.” Then, two months later they are soaking in the sunshine, and sipping on some nectar in Mexico; continuing the circle of life and the food chain that our environment thrives on. Remarkable. If you are still super curious about these winged beauties flying thousands of miles every year, check out this <a href=\"https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/10/monarch-butterfly-migration/\">NatGeo article</a>.</h6>\n<p>Our tour was construction through <a href=\"http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=132440&u=1619643&m=18208\">Viator</a>; which took us to <strong>El Rosario</strong>, the butterfly sanctuary (protected by every country in North America), and El Oro. It is a full day tour, so starting super early, your guide will pick you up at your hotel, about a three-hour drive (or so) to the butterfly sanctuary. El Rosario included a horse ride up with a hike to witness the cluster of monarch colonies, a 2km hike back to the entrance where a droolingly delicious homemade meal was waiting for you. Afterwards, on your journey back to El Centro of Mexico City, you’ll stop in El Oro, a magical pueblo of Mexico.Sadly, we when witness one of natures greatest phenomenal it was a cloudy morning, meaning that the butterflies were still sleeping in their cluster of colonies. So we were unable to capture the vibrant orange soaring around the trees. You’ll have to plan a trip and see them with your very own eyeballs. </p>\n<h2>El Oro:</h2>\n<p>This was probably one of the most amazing tours we did, not because of the breathtaking views and drooling food but because of the people and our tour guides. They were so friendly and gave us loads of information (mostly about food) and our tour guides answered every question we asked and gave us beautiful handmade mugs from El Oro. I already miss them.</p>\n<h2>Day Three: Early Morning Teotihuacán & Tequila</h2>\n<p>A majority of people, historians, and archaeologists believe that Teotihuacán is the site where the <strong>universe was created</strong>. MINDBLOWN. I was most excited about this tour with <a href=\"http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=132440&u=1619643&m=18208\">Viator</a>, not only did it state that we would have our own private archeologist (and I am always bursting with questions related to ancient temples) but we were doing the early morning tour, which means no one would be in my photos!Except, not. The morning started out a little rocky & we didn’t get breakfast. Our bus was 40 minutes late and there were 50+ people waiting to go on the same tour. That took a little bit of the personalized magic away from me, and the 40 minute delayed meant that we weren’t the first to arrive. Meh, but anywho, the site itself was momentous; learning about the Mayans and Aztecs and the influences they hold on today’s society in Mexico, was captivating.</p>\n<h3><a href=\"http://chasingkrista.com/2018/01/17/discovering-teotihuacan/\"><strong>Click here or any of the photos to hear all about Teotihuacan & Tequila. </strong></a></h3>\n<h2>Day Four: Tasty Bites Food Tour</h2>\n<p>We were invited by Robert, the founder of Tasty Bites Food Tour to embark on a delicious adventure around El Centro of Mexico City, sampling various flavors of tacos. HEAVEN. IT WAS SIMPLE HEAVEN.</p>\n<p>?:katy_running_wild</p>\n<h2>Click any of the photos to learn more about our scrumptious and delicious Tasty Bites Food Tour</h2>\n<h2>Day Five: New Years Day, aimlessly roaming</h2>\n<p>For some reason, we didn’t correlate that New Years Day would mean that a majority of places would be closed. We planned to do the Chapultepec Castle, Frida Kahlo’s House, and the Archaeology Museum buuuuut they were closed. We decided to explore Condesa and Roma (the hipster, chic neighborhoods of Mexico City) instead, thinking that at least some cafes would be open or we’d be able to photoshoot against street art. But, the front desk of our hostel convinced us to explore <strong>Xochimilco</strong> – the neighborhood with the vibrantly neon colored boats and floating flower market. By metro & train, it was only a little hour away so we figured why not.</p>\n<p>When Mexico City or nearby neighborhoods are empty due to the holiday, I <em>don’t</em> suggest exploring them on your own. To be honest, this was one of the very few times in life that I felt unsafe. It took us an hour(ish) to get there, we got off the metro and followed the crowd and signs to the boat docks. Everyone around was Mexican, knew where they were going and didn’t seem to be there for touristy reasons. I hate saying this, I really do. But we listened to all the stereotypes and held our bags a little tighter, while youngster wannabe sped by on their bikes, and decided it wasn’t worth it. After we reached the boats and were haggled to jump aboard (two while girls on a huge ass boat), called some pretty nasty names because we kept saying no, we snapped some photos then made the smart decision to head back to El Centro.*If you plan on going during normal times (ie: not a holiday), I would advise going with a group, the boats are indeed large and would be financially smarter and safer to have at least five people or so.*<strong>Artesanias Ciudadela</strong> is a flea market to buy just about anything you want. Thankfully, it was completely closed. Not all shops were open and we were basically the only ones walking around but here is where you go to buy, well anything. I was too distracted to actually take photos of anything. </p>\n<p>Condesa and Roma Norte, are the two chic and hipster neighborhoods in Mexico City; known for their funky, cool street art, artsy and fashionable cafes. It is basically where you go to find the hottest Instagram spots (? ).<br>\nBut, nevertheless a holiday = everything closed.</p>\n<h2>Day Six: Puebla & Cholula Day Trip</h2>\n<p>We again chose <a href=\"http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=132440&u=1619643&m=18208\">Viator</a> to take us on a day trip to the magical cities of Puebla and Cholula. You may have seen photos of a gorgeous yellow church with a giant volcano right behind it, that my friends is Cholula and on a clear and cloudless day, the view of the church and the world’s largest pyramid is jaw-dropping. After you witness this magical landscape, you venture towards the magic town where it looks as if a rainbow exploded: Puebla.<strong>Click the photos to read more about our experience visiting these magical towns.</strong></p>\n<h2>Day Seven: Adios Mexico City</h2>\n<p>But, we can’t leave Mexico City without last-minute tacos and ice cream, of course!</p>\n<h4>When you find a travel partner in life, willing to go to the edges of the world with you, spend hours doing photoshoots regardless of the judges and stares, plan your outfits together or not and end up matching perfectly, eat tongues and bugs together, keep them. Keep them forever.

Today’s free agent is Jarvis Landry, a wide receiver who will be well sought after. In his first 4 seasons in the league, Landry has had <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=jarvis+landry+stats&rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS609US609&oq=jarvis+landry+stats&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.4427j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8">84 or more</a> catches every season. Two of those seasons he had over 1,000 receiving yards. This past season, Landry was just short of 1,000 yards receiving, but can you really blame him for having a little lower numbers? His quarterback situation was not ideal in any way. Even though he was short of 1,000 yards, he did record 112 catches, which is a career high for him.After proving he can be very productive throughout his first four years, Landry is in for a pay day. He fits with a lot of teams, but there are only a select amount who have the available cap space to give him the kind of deal he’ll be looking for. I’ve chosen five teams where Landry could be a fit based upon how much money they’ll have available and how much these teams need a receiver like him. Of course, these destinations are only possible if the Dolphins let him get away. They have the option to franchise tag him, which I think they’ll do. As of right now though, Jarvis Landry will be a free agent.</p> <h6><strong>CHICAGO BEARS</strong></h6> <p>Out of all the teams I’ve listed, this is probably the least likely destination for Jarvis Landry. It’s the least likely because it’s the least desirable. Yes, the Bears do need a receiver. Someone who can be a real threat to a defence. Jarvis Landry is that, but I don’t know if Landry would want to join an offence with a second year quarterback and a team that won 5 games last season. The other teams I’ve listed have much more to offer Landry than Chicago does. The Bears will likely have enough money to offer, but what else is there really? I listed the Bears because they really need Landry and he would help them a lot, but I don’t think he ends up on this team.</p> <h6><strong>SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS</strong></h6> <p>Jimmy Garoppolo’s extension makes the 49ers a much more desirable landing spot for Landry. Garoppolo’s body of work for the 49ers wasn’t huge last season, but it was pretty impressive. He completed 67.4% of his passes for 1,560 yards and 7 TD’s in 6 games (<a href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS609US609&ei=hUZ_WrG_LsuAtgXpz4m4Ag&q=jimmy+garoppolo+stats&oq=jimmy+garoppolo+stats&gs_l=psy-ab.3..35i39k1j0l6j0i20i263k1j0l2.95908.96736.0.97526.6.6.0.0.0.0.198.535.0j3.3.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..3.3.531...0i131i20i263k1j0i131k1.0.A9cqDGBNrOM">5 Starts</a>). His quarterback rating was 96.2, which is pretty dang good. It’s even more impressive when you consider who the 49ers have as receivers. Marquise Goodwin was their leading receiver with just under 1,000 yards. He can be a good option, but he’s not a number one. The way the 49ers finished last season should make Jarvis Landry want to come here. He’d get paid, be the number one option, and have a quarterback who’s better than anyone he’s had before.You May Also Like...<a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/one-change-the-cleveland-browns-should-make-to-start-their-turn-around/">One Change The Cleveland Browns Should Make To Start Their Turn Around</a><a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/best-free-agents-fits-kirk-cousins/">Best Free Agents Fits: Kirk Cousins</a><a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/how-the-alex-smith-trade-impacts-both-the-chiefs-and-redskins/">How The Alex Smith Trade Impacts Both The Chiefs And Redskins</a></p> <h6><strong>JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS</strong></h6> <p>How could a team that just went to a Conference Championship not sound like a good place to go? They have the defence, they have a running game, and they have Blake Bortles. That last one is actually counter productive to sounding enticing. I think Landry wants to play on a good team, but I also think he wants to play with a good quarterback. I’m very critical of Blake Bortles, but for good reason. He’s not a franchise quarterback. With that being said, I do think Landry can help Bortles be better. It would give another weapon to the Jaguars passing game. With the Jaguars running game, the passing game has a chance to be elite with the right players. Add Landry to the mix and it gets better. The Jaguars defence might be the most enticing thing to Landry, which might sound weird because he’s a receiver. No matter what position you play on offence, having a good defence to help you out is always a good thing.</p> <h6><strong>TENNESSEE TITANS</strong></h6> <p>After making the playoffs this past season, the Titans look to be on the up and up. They have a young quarterback who can make plays and a good running game. What they’ve been lacking for quite some time now is a true receiving threat. The Titans have some young receiving talent in Corey Davis, but he didn’t put up big numbers and it might take him a while to get there. Jarvis Landry can fill a major need for this team as a real threat in the passing game. Tennessee has the cap space to sign Landry to a deal he’d be looking for, but it depends on how much of a priority they make a receiver. They could go through the draft, but I think they need a proven talent like Landry to help them get better at the position and overall.</p> <h6><strong>WASHINGTON REDSKINS</strong></h6> <p>The Redskins leading receiver last season was Jamison Crowder, who had 789 yards. That needs to change if the Redskins want to seriously compete. You just traded for Alex Smith. You signed him to a long term deal. Now go get him some help. Locking up Smith allows the Redskins to focus on getting other position needs. They have quite a bit of cap space to play with, so expect them to be players in free agency. Jamison Crowder can be a good running mate for Jarvis Landry. I think it’s important for Landry to see that he has a capable receiver playing along side him. Crowder can do that, but again he’s not a number one. In Washington, Jarvis Landry could get paid and be a highly targeted weapon in an offence that now has the <a href="http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?seasonType=REG&d-447263-n=1&d-447263-o=2&d-447263-p=1&d-447263-s=PASSING_PASSER_RATING&tabSeq=0&season=2017&Submit=Go&experience=&archive=false&statisticCategory=PASSING&conference=null&qualified=false">highest rated quarterback</a> from last season in Alex Smith. </p> <p>Originally published on our website - <a href="The Free Agent Fits series continues as we continue to get closer to free agency.

Today’s free agent is Jarvis Landry, a wide receiver who will be well sought after. In his first 4 seasons in the league, Landry has had 84 or more catches every season. Two of those seasons he had over 1,000 receiving yards. This past season, Landry was just short of 1,000 yards receiving, but can you really blame him for having a little lower numbers? His quarterback situation was not ideal in any way. Even though he was short of 1,000 yards, he did record 112 catches, which is a career high for him. After proving he can be very productive throughout his first four years, Landry is in for a pay day. He fits with a lot of teams, but there are only a select amount who have the available cap space to give him the kind of deal he’ll be looking for. I’ve chosen five teams where Landry could be a fit based upon how much money they’ll have available and how much these teams need a receiver like him. Of course, these destinations are only possible if the Dolphins let him get away. They have the option to franchise tag him, which I think they’ll do. As of right now though, Jarvis Landry will be a free agent. CHICAGO BEARS Out of all the teams I’ve listed, this is probably the least likely destination for Jarvis Landry. It’s the least likely because it’s the least desirable. Yes, the Bears do need a receiver. Someone who can be a real threat to a defence. Jarvis Landry is that, but I don’t know if Landry would want to join an offence with a second year quarterback and a team that won 5 games last season. The other teams I’ve listed have much more to offer Landry than Chicago does. The Bears will likely have enough money to offer, but what else is there really? I listed the Bears because they really need Landry and he would help them a lot, but I don’t think he ends up on this team. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Jimmy Garoppolo’s extension makes the 49ers a much more desirable landing spot for Landry. Garoppolo’s body of work for the 49ers wasn’t huge last season, but it was pretty impressive. He completed 67.4% of his passes for 1,560 yards and 7 TD’s in 6 games (5 Starts). His quarterback rating was 96.2, which is pretty dang good. It’s even more impressive when you consider who the 49ers have as receivers. Marquise Goodwin was their leading receiver with just under 1,000 yards. He can be a good option, but he’s not a number one. The way the 49ers finished last season should make Jarvis Landry want to come here. He’d get paid, be the number one option, and have a quarterback who’s better than anyone he’s had before.

They have the defence, they have a running game, and they have Blake Bortles. That last one is actually counter productive to sounding enticing. I think Landry wants to play on a good team, but I also think he wants to play with a good quarterback. I’m very critical of Blake Bortles, but for good reason. He’s not a franchise quarterback. With that being said, I do think Landry can help Bortles be better. It would give another weapon to the Jaguars passing game. With the Jaguars running game, the passing game has a chance to be elite with the right players. Add Landry to the mix and it gets better. The Jaguars defence might be the most enticing thing to Landry, which might sound weird because he’s a receiver. No matter what position you play on offence, having a good defence to help you out is always a good thing. TENNESSEE TITANS After making the playoffs this past season, the Titans look to be on the up and up. They have a young quarterback who can make plays and a good running game. What they’ve been lacking for quite some time now is a true receiving threat. The Titans have some young receiving talent in Corey Davis, but he didn’t put up big numbers and it might take him a while to get there. Jarvis Landry can fill a major need for this team as a real threat in the passing game. Tennessee has the cap space to sign Landry to a deal he’d be looking for, but it depends on how much of a priority they make a receiver. They could go through the draft, but I think they need a proven talent like Landry to help them get better at the position and overall. WASHINGTON REDSKINS The Redskins leading receiver last season was Jamison Crowder, who had 789 yards. That needs to change if the Redskins want to seriously compete. You just traded for Alex Smith. You signed him to a long term deal. Now go get him some help. Locking up Smith allows the Redskins to focus on getting other position needs. They have quite a bit of cap space to play with, so expect them to be players in free agency. Jamison Crowder can be a good running mate for Jarvis Landry. I think it’s important for Landry to see that he has a capable receiver playing along side him. Crowder can do that, but again he’s not a number one. In Washington, Jarvis Landry could get paid and be a highly targeted weapon in an offence that now has the highest rated quarterback from last season in Alex Smith."],"app":"steemit/0.1","format":"html"} |

Businesses of every size require fast and reliable communication networks to function and grow. Given to that, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology is being used by businesses, as it increases the network flow and makes it easier to handle.</p> <h2>More About MPLS</h2> <p>MPLS is flexible and cost-effective. It is designed to enable enterprises to reduce costs, converge voice, video, data and support more applications on a single network. Being around for many years, the feature of any-to-any topology lets the network managers have the flexibility of diverting traffic around link failures and network congestion on the fly. It offers better network segmentation and quality of service (QoS) and companies are using it to increase their productivity. It is an enhanced way of transporting latency-sensitive applications such as audio, video and ramp up security.Get a head start with these eight primary reasons why MPLS technology has been widely successful.</p> <h2>1. Flexibility</h2> <p><a href="https://myvigour.com/mpls-security-everything-need-know/">MPLS security technology</a> is known for its flexible quality. It is flexible because the data plane and the control plane are separating, which is excellent for several control planes and forwarding controls. The independence allows a lot of flexibility.

Businesses of every size require fast and reliable communication networks to function and grow. Given to that, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology is being used by businesses, as it increases the network flow and makes it easier to handle.</p>\n<h2>More About MPLS</h2>\n<p>MPLS is flexible and cost-effective. It is designed to enable enterprises to reduce costs, converge voice, video, data and support more applications on a single network. Being around for many years, the feature of any-to-any topology lets the network managers have the flexibility of diverting traffic around link failures and network congestion on the fly. It offers better network segmentation and quality of service (QoS) and companies are using it to increase their productivity. It is an enhanced way of transporting latency-sensitive applications such as audio, video and ramp up security.Get a head start with these eight primary reasons why MPLS technology has been widely successful.</p>\n<h2>1. Flexibility</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://myvigour.com/mpls-security-everything-need-know/\">MPLS security technology</a> is known for its flexible quality. It is flexible because the data plane and the control plane are separating, which is excellent for several control planes and forwarding controls. The independence allows a lot of flexibility. Featured to support ‘A’ label stack undetermined size, the loose semantics of the MPLS allows flexible control. It is also flexible for handling unicast forwarding.</p>\n<h2>2. MPLS Traffic Engineering</h2>\n<p>MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) is one of the features that every business loves to use.

Sure, I was excited by the fact that the universe we had grown to love would historically make the jump from the big screen to its smaller counterpart, but I was worried that the concept would quickly become dull or uninteresting. I mean, in all honesty, after having seen something as big as <em>The Avengers</em> (2012, Joss Whedon), how many of you thought ‘damn, I really gotta get me some more of those S.H.I.E.L.D. guys; Captain America who, amirite?’. When I started watching the show, I feared my concern had become reality, as the show was really struggling to find itself in the beginning, and little more seemed to happen than the characters’ reaction to big movie events, like that Greenwich clean-up after <em>Thor: The Dark World</em> (2013, Alan Taylor).But then S.H.I.E.L.D. fell. Following the events of <em>Captain America: The Winter Soldier </em>(2014, Anthony & Joe Russo), the show quickly accelerated in terms of plot development, and proved that it could definitely stand on its own. The way in which the show handled the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. was nothing short of excellent, and ever since then, the show has started exploring the very outskirts of the Marvel universe. Five years later, we’ve seen Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) team deal with species like the Inhumans, Asgardians, Kree and even Vrellnexians, go up against foes as Carl Creel/Absorbing Man (Brian Patrick Wade), Calvin Johnson/Mr. Hyde (Kyle MacLachlan) or Gideon Malick (Powers Boothe, reprising his role from <em>The Avengers</em>), and uniting themselves with characters like Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Elena Rodriguez/Yo-Yo/Slingshot (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) and Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna) with the OG Johnny Blaze even making a short cameo. It’s amazing to see how strong the show has become since its Pilot episode, and with season five returning next week, I’m very eager to see where S.H.I.E.L.D. will take us (or do we already know that…?).It’s easy for TV superhero fiction to rely on the same patterns over and over again. This, more or less, seems to be the case in CW’s Arrowverse, whose heroes discover a new antagonist each year, challenging them on a physical and emotional level, but who’ll be dealt with by the end of the year. Sure, there might be some changes every year in terms of team constellation or how and when the main villain is introduced, but generally speaking, the same formula returns every year (though <em>Arrow</em>‘s most recent episode, 6×13 “The Devil’s Greatest Trick”, seems to shake things up a bit). The same could even be said for the Marvel Netflix shows—though the second season of <em>Daredevil</em> (2015-), with its division in multiple somewhat distinct segments (the Punisher storyline, the Elektra storyline, etc.) might be the exception here. Note that this doesn’t diminish my appreciation of these shows. I love all of these shows, but I can’t deny the similarities between the different seasons as far as the format or formula is concerned.<em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.</em> seems to set itself apart from this tradition, as the show rarely has one plotline that lasts for an entire season. As usual, the first episode of each season introduces new elements for the new season, yet many of these threads are already resolved by the midseason finale in December. This allows the second and larger half of the season to revolve around something else. The first half of season two was very much about Coulson’s race against Hydra to discover the Inhuman city on Earth, while the second half introduced us to Jiaying (Dichen Lachman), Skye/Daisy’s (Chloe Bennet) mother, as the main villain. In the first half of season three, the team focused its attention primarily on everything concerning the planet of Maveth while also (finally) defeating Ward (Brett Dalton), but when these story threads were both resolved by the midseason finale, the second half left place for Malick and Hive (…Brett Dalton) to take the spotlight. The midseason finale for season five promises a similar narrative development, as our heroes (or at least some of them) seem to have returned home. Of course there are story beats connecting each season’s respective halves, but I think that, more than with any other current superhero show, <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.</em> shows an inner division that resolves plot lines more quickly.Season four, in fact, is the best example of this. This season is very neatly divided into three distinct parts: the year starts off with the story of the Ghost Rider (4×01-4×08), evolves into the LMD (Life Model Decoy) plot (4×09-4×15), and finishes with the Agents of Hydra narrative (4×16-4×22). This division here is not artificial or something that one can “read between the lines”. It’s a very conscious executive decision, as indicated by the use of different title cards for each new story thread:</p> <p>The <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Ghost Rider</em> title card.</p> <p>The <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: LMD </em>title card.</p> <p>The <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Agents of Hydra </em>title card.</p> <p>Connecting the three segments, we have the MacGuffin of the Darkhold (a mystical book containing advanced knowledge and corrupting the mind of its readers), Holden Radcliffe (John Hannah) and his android Aida (Mallory Jansen). In other words: there’s an overarching narrative, but that narrative consists of three tonally distinct chapters, as we might find in a novel or a Tarantino movie.This is a relatively original way to construct a TV fiction. What are the results of an approach like this? Well, for starters, it implies that plot lines need to be resolved more quickly since a fewer amount of episodes can be spent on them. Basically, this means: no filler episodes. <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. </em>is indeed remarkably filler-free and this is nothing but a good thing. Other TV superhero shows have the annoying tendency of sometimes completely pausing the main narrative: last year, <em>The Flash</em> (2014-) even did this at the very end of its third season. <em>Agents of</em> <em>S.H.I.E.L.D.</em>, on the other hand, constantly drives the story forward in new and exciting directions, by, for example, revealing pretty crucial plot information in what we could call ‘mid-credit scenes’, i.e. the short scenes at the end of each episode after the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo and Coulson saying “We’ll be back in a moment”. Sure, there’s episodes like 3×05 “4,722 Hours” or 5×05 “Rewind” (both of them being the fifth episode in their respective seasons… Coincidence, or is there some parallelism at play here?) that shift away from the main narrative into different material (Simmons’s (Elizabeth Henstridge) survival on Maveth, and Fitz’s (Iain De Caestecker) version of the events after season four’s finale, respectively), but they don’t pause the main line of events. Instead, they add crucial information, condensed in a special episode.Another result of this story approach is a steadier evolution of character. By having the characters thrown into different difficult situations at a fast pace, the characters also change more, and in more interesting ways. It is insane, for example, just in how many ways the character of Fitz has evolved over the years (credits to Iain De Caestecker, who, in my opinion, truly shines in this show and by whom I’m constantly genuinely amazed): we’ve seen him as the shy, trying-to-prove-himself scientist in season one or as the hallucinating, brain-damaged, heart-broken lover in season two, but also as the malign Hydra Doctor in season four or the undercover Marauder in season five. He has constantly been hurt by those around him yet always picks himself up afterwards. In season four, his transformation into a guilt-ridden cynic is especially touching. This doesn’t happen as quickly in other TV superhero fiction.Also, the stories are just more interesting this way. There’s no need to elongate the unnecessary, and every action has a meaningful consequence that we don’t have to wait weeks and weeks for. <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. </em>has proven itself a worthwhile addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the show sets itself apart from normal TV superhero conventions. ‘Fragmented’ storytelling like this makes that we get to enjoy new and exciting things relatively quickly, and how could we possibly complain about that? </p> <p>Originally published on our website - <a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/marvels-agents-s-h-e-l-d-refreshes-superhero-tv/">URL</a></p> </html> |

Sure, I was excited by the fact that the universe we had grown to love would historically make the jump from the big screen to its smaller counterpart, but I was worried that the concept would quickly become dull or uninteresting. I mean, in all honesty, after having seen something as big as <em>The Avengers</em> (2012, Joss Whedon), how many of you thought ‘damn, I really gotta get me some more of those S.H.I.E.L.D. guys; Captain America who, amirite?’. When I started watching the show, I feared my concern had become reality, as the show was really struggling to find itself in the beginning, and little more seemed to happen than the characters’ reaction to big movie events, like that Greenwich clean-up after <em>Thor: The Dark World</em> (2013, Alan Taylor).But then S.H.I.E.L.D. fell. Following the events of <em>Captain America: The Winter Soldier </em>(2014, Anthony & Joe Russo), the show quickly accelerated in terms of plot development, and proved that it could definitely stand on its own. The way in which the show handled the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. was nothing short of excellent, and ever since then, the show has started exploring the very outskirts of the Marvel universe. Five years later, we’ve seen Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) team deal with species like the Inhumans, Asgardians, Kree and even Vrellnexians, go up against foes as Carl Creel/Absorbing Man (Brian Patrick Wade), Calvin Johnson/Mr. Hyde (Kyle MacLachlan) or Gideon Malick (Powers Boothe, reprising his role from <em>The Avengers</em>), and uniting themselves with characters like Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Elena Rodriguez/Yo-Yo/Slingshot (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) and Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna) with the OG Johnny Blaze even making a short cameo. It’s amazing to see how strong the show has become since its Pilot episode, and with season five returning next week, I’m very eager to see where S.H.I.E.L.D. will take us (or do we already know that…?).It’s easy for TV superhero fiction to rely on the same patterns over and over again. This, more or less, seems to be the case in CW’s Arrowverse, whose heroes discover a new antagonist each year, challenging them on a physical and emotional level, but who’ll be dealt with by the end of the year. Sure, there might be some changes every year in terms of team constellation or how and when the main villain is introduced, but generally speaking, the same formula returns every year (though <em>Arrow</em>‘s most recent episode, 6×13 “The Devil’s Greatest Trick”, seems to shake things up a bit). The same could even be said for the Marvel Netflix shows—though the second season of <em>Daredevil</em> (2015-), with its division in multiple somewhat distinct segments (the Punisher storyline, the Elektra storyline, etc.) might be the exception here. Note that this doesn’t diminish my appreciation of these shows. I love all of these shows, but I can’t deny the similarities between the different seasons as far as the format or formula is concerned.<em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.</em> seems to set itself apart from this tradition, as the show rarely has one plotline that lasts for an entire season. As usual, the first episode of each season introduces new elements for the new season, yet many of these threads are already resolved by the midseason finale in December. This allows the second and larger half of the season to revolve around something else. The first half of season two was very much about Coulson’s race against Hydra to discover the Inhuman city on Earth, while the second half introduced us to Jiaying (Dichen Lachman), Skye/Daisy’s (Chloe Bennet) mother, as the main villain. In the first half of season three, the team focused its attention primarily on everything concerning the planet of Maveth while also (finally) defeating Ward (Brett Dalton), but when these story threads were both resolved by the midseason finale, the second half left place for Malick and Hive (…Brett Dalton) to take the spotlight. The midseason finale for season five promises a similar narrative development, as our heroes (or at least some of them) seem to have returned home. Of course there are story beats connecting each season’s respective halves, but I think that, more than with any other current superhero show, <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.</em> shows an inner division that resolves plot lines more quickly.Season four, in fact, is the best example of this. This season is very neatly divided into three distinct parts: the year starts off with the story of the Ghost Rider (4×01-4×08), evolves into the LMD (Life Model Decoy) plot (4×09-4×15), and finishes with the Agents of Hydra narrative (4×16-4×22).

Moreover, I would contest that some of those episodes rank amongst the best <em><strong>Star Wars</strong></em> content we have had the pleasure to experience. Clearly, Season 2’s ‘Shroud of Darkness’ and ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’ come to mind as does Season 3’s ‘<a href="http://theturnertalks.com/2016/10/24/star-wars-rebels-season-3-episodes-1-6-review-a-strong-start-that-expands-star-wars-lore/">The Holocrons of Fate</a>’ and ‘<a href="http://theturnertalks.com/2017/03/19/star-wars-rebels-season-3-episode-20-review-a-swift-end-to-maul/">Twin Suns</a>’. While we have had some great episodes of <em>Star Wars Rebels</em> in Season 4, nothing has blown me away to the extent that the aforementioned episodes have.</p> <h2>My Thoughts on ‘Wolves and a Door’ and ‘A World Between Worlds’</h2> <p>However, this final season of <em>Star Wars Rebels</em> has now provided us with an episode which, in my eyes, is the best this show has ever given us. ‘<strong>A World Between Worlds</strong>’ has changed the game and it blew me away with how well it binds the <em>Star Wars</em> universe together. Still, before this episode, we had ‘<strong>Wolves and a Door</strong>’ to experience which itself was a very good episode of <em>Star Wars Rebels</em>.I will argue though that, on the whole, ‘Wolves and a Door’ was an episode designed to setup ‘A World Between Worlds’. We saw our heroes, still reeling from the death of <strong>Kanan</strong> in ‘<a href="http://theturnertalks.com/2018/02/24/star-wars-rebels-season-4-episodes-10-11-television-review-jedi-night-dume/">Jedi Night</a>’, travel to the <strong>Jedi Temple</strong> on <strong>Lothal</strong>, with some help from the <strong>Loth-wolves</strong>, to uncover what the <strong>Empire</strong> was doing at this location.One scene during this journey actually felt like a video game interlude/loading screen which was weird but it worked. Everything in ‘Wolves and a Door’ was leading up to something more important which we would eventually see in ‘A World Between Worlds’. Nevertheless, the events in this episode provided us with some really cool moments. We certainly got a lot of satisfying connections to the wider <em>Star Wars</em> universe.For one, <strong>The Emperor</strong>, voiced by <strong>Ian McDiarmid</strong>, made his first physical appearance in the show which was cool to see. Moreover, we saw artwork which directly linked to <a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/mortis"><strong>Mortis</strong></a> and the <strong>Force Gods</strong>, i.e. <strong>The Ones</strong>, which was all first introduced in <em><strong>Star Wars: The Clone Wars</strong></em>. The Mortis Arc was one of the best arcs in that show so to have it reintroduced in a big way in ‘Wolves and a Door’ was great.<strong>Looking for more film & TV reviews?</strong>Like this article? You can find more film and TV reviews on Soapbox’s <a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/tag/film-review/">film review page</a>.</p> <h3>Time and Space</h3> <p>Yet, the real meat of what we experienced in these episodes was in ‘A World Between Worlds’ which was exceptional. I have already stated that it is the best episode of <em>Star Wars Rebels</em> we have ever had. So, let me explain why I fell this way. Ideally, I want the mythology of <em>Star Wars</em> to be expanded through bold storytelling and well-executed, original ideas that still keeps the mystery of <em>Star Wars</em> intact.A reason why I love <a href="http://theturnertalks.com/2018/01/08/star-wars-the-last-jedi-review/"><em><strong>Star Wars: The Last Jedi</strong></em></a>, among many, is that it does the near impossible task of achieving all of these lofty ideals. A reason why I do not like the <strong>Prequel Trilogy</strong>, among many, is that the execution of the ideas and story fell completely flat, particularly in <em>Star Wars: The Phantom Menace</em> and <em>Star Wars: Attack of the Clones</em>. Moreover, things that did not need to be explained, like <strong>The Force</strong>, were and in a poor way that was a complete betrayal to the essence of the <strong>Original Trilogy</strong>.Thankfully, ‘A World Between Worlds’ works on all fronts when it comes to the expansion of <em>Star Wars</em>mythology. A good amount of this episode was spent with <strong>Ezra</strong> after he entered the portal which led to the <strong>World Between Worlds</strong>. This place was a pathway between all time and space. In this mystical plane, everything is in flux; time does not matter and you can witness and influence the past, present and future.</p> <h3>Restore Past, Redeem Future</h3> <p>As such, during our time at this place, we hear moments from the Original Trilogy, the <strong>Sequel Trilogy</strong>, <a href="http://theturnertalks.com/2016/12/16/rogue-one-a-star-wars-story-review-a-great-film-that-expands-star-wars-lore/"><em><strong>Rogue One</strong></em></a> and <em>Star Wars: The Clone Wars</em> which really tugged at the heartstrings. It was so much to take in but in the best possible way. While I was less enthused to hear moments from the Prequel Trilogy, it was still nice to have that connective tissue.Besides, in recent years, whenever the events of the Prequel Trilogy have been referenced in <em>Star Wars</em>content such as the films, books, comics, <strong>TV</strong> shows and/or the video games, they are usually extremely general references. This means that I can block out the terrible execution and just appreciate the references as vague, mysterious call-backs which I can interpret in my own way. In this sense, hearing moments from the Prequel Trilogy did not lessen my enjoyment of ‘A World Between Worlds’.Still, while the references to known <em>Star Wars</em> moments were one of the great ways ‘A World Between Worlds’ united the <em>Star Wars</em> universe, it was not the highlight of the episode. In ‘DUME’, Ezra was told by the Loth-wolf Dume to travel to the Jedi Temple on Lothal to “<em>restore past, redeem future</em>”. After watching this episode, it seemed to me that this meant saving <a href="http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/star-wars/246494/star-wars-5-things-you-might-not-know-about-ahsoka-tano"><strong>Ahsoka Tano</strong></a>.</p> <h3>Ahsoka Lives</h3> <p>Yes, in this episode, we get a definitive answer to the fate of Ahsoka Tano. As we saw in ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’, the outcome of her duel with <a href="https://screenrant.com/darth-vader-movie-star-wars-comic-story/"><strong>Darth Vader</strong></a> was left ambiguous. While it is heavily implied that she survived, we did not know the specifics of what truly happened until now. The World Between Worlds has many portals and, through one of these portals, Ezra sees the continuation of Ahsoka’s fight with Vader.I previously mentioned that one can influence the past, present and future in the World Between Worlds and Ezra does this. Just as Vader is about to strike down Ahsoka, Ezra reaches out and saves her. It was a moment which left me completely floored. In its own unique way, a version of time travel had been introduced into <em>Star Wars</em>.This was a risky move which could have completely failed and been a major problem. But it worked for one specific reason; Ezra did not change the events of what happened on <a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/malachor"><strong>Malachor</strong></a>. We never saw Ahsoka die. She lived and how she survived her duel with Vader was just left mysterious until now. What we merely saw in ‘A World Between Worlds’ was how Ahsoka survived and it tied in beautifully with ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’.This is because The Emperor tries to enter the World Between Worlds but Ahsoka prevents this and saves Ezra from a terrible fate. They each go back through their separate portals and Ahsoka returns to Malachor. The closing shot of her in this episode wonderfully connected to the closing shot we see of her in ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’. Everything came full circle and lined up very well. The execution was perfect.</p> <h3>Kanan</h3> <p>I guess the question now is when will we see Ahsoka again? Hopefully, it is sooner rather than later. I also loved how everything about the World Between Worlds was still left mysterious. We know no in-depth knowledge about its origins or how it came to be and we do not need to know. It is in keeping with the meaning and weirdness of The Force and it all linked back to what Ahsoka said back in Season 2; “<em>just when you think you understand The Force, you find out how little you actually know</em>”.Another great aspect about ‘A World Between Worlds’ and what was introduced in this episode was how it forced Ezra to comes to terms with Kanan’s death. Through saving Ahsoka, Ezra had this idea that he could also save Kanan. But, in the end, Ahsoka made Ezra realise that Kanan’s sacrifice was necessary so that he, Hera and Sabine could live and continue the fight. We also found out what the meaning of the Loth-wolves has been in Season 4 of <em>Star Wars Rebels</em>.As part of <strong>The Cosmic Force</strong>, which binds everything together, Kanan manifested his will into the Loth-wolves so he could influence the living through them. This revelation finally made me understand the Loth-wolves’ purpose and what this all led to was a very poignant moment at the end of ‘A World Between Worlds’ where Ezra bid farewell to his former master.This ended what was an exceptionally well-executed episode of <em>Star Wars Rebels</em> that, like <em><strong>The Last Jedi</strong></em>, added to the mythology of <em>Star Wars</em>. Moreover, the stage is now set for the final episodes of <em>Star Wars Rebels</em>which are sure to be emotionally charged. I am confident that they will bring satisfying closure to the series. </p> <p>Originally published on our website - <a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/star-wars-rebels-season-4-episodes-12-13-television-review-exceptional-storytelling/">URL</a></p> </html> |

I don’t mind gambling. Well, I like gambling when it comes to horse racing. But slot machines are not my thing – kind of boring. I do like 21, Bridge and a few others but in no way did I feel that I had sufficient skills to play these games in the home of gambling! However, I had always wanted to go to Las Vegas as I thought it would be great fun. I did quite a bit of research around what to do in Las Vegas besides gambling and the list was really long! So here are my top 20 Things to do in Vegas besides gamble.<a href="https://www.skyscanner.net/flights-to/las/cheap-flights-to-las-vegas-mccarran-airport.html"><strong>Click here for Deals on Flights to Las Vegas</strong></a></p> <h2>1.Things to do in Vegas Besides Gambling: Cirque Du Soleil</h2> <p>I did a lot of really fun things whilst in Vegas. However, the best thing I did was go to <a href="https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/the-beatles-love-by-cirque-du-soleil.a183829.activity-details"><strong>Cirque du Soleil.</strong></a> I am surprised that I am writing this as I would never have expected to enjoy the show as much as I did. I don’t really like musicals or live theatre. But this is AMAZING!</p> <p>The Beatles Love</p> <p>I saw the Beatles LOVE show and it blew me away. There was constantly so much to look at and so much happening and it was stunning and and and – wow it was just one of the best shows I have ever ever seen.</p> <h2>2.Things to do in Vegas Besides Gamble: David Copperfield</h2> <p>Again, I can’t believe I am putting this as number 2 but I loved <a href="https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/david-copperfield.a183797.activity-details"><strong>David Copperfield</strong></a>! There is a good reason he is so very famous. He was a master showman. The show was brilliant. It was funny, smart, intriguing, fast-paced and engaging. No one told me magic could be this good! A car materialized! Yes in the middle of a theatre a car materialized. I hope this is enough to convince you.</p> <p>David Copperfield</p> <p>We had our hotel (<a href="http://fave.co/2oM4CNF">The Palazzo</a>) book both of the above once we arrived. They are able to see everything that is on and ticket availability.</p> <h2>3.What to do in Vegas Besides Gamble: Helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon</h2> <p>It isn’t cheap but it is well worth it. I chose to go with <a href="https://www.sundancehelicopters.com/"><strong>Sundance Helicopters</strong></a> and felt very safe. I was picked up at my hotel in a limo – because how else would you travel in Vegas??? We went to a small air base. The helicopter ride is less than an hour and the views are stunning. I loved seeing the red desert. We then flew over Lake Mead which was stunning.My ticket included doing the SkyWalk Express Tour. Personally, I didn’t find it scary but I am ok with heights. The best thing was taking photos nearby.</p> <p>The view of the Grand Canyon from the Skywalk</p> <p>The helicopter back took a slightly different route. As if the Grand Canyon and Lake Mead weren’t enough we also flew down the strip on our return which was fantastic!</p> <p>The strip from the air </p> <h2>4.Things to do in Vegas other than Gamble: Dinner buffet at the Wynn</h2> <p>I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food is in Vegas. I was expecting the worst of American clichés but I was absolutely delighted. Vegas is, of course, famous for a buffet and<a href="http://fave.co/2oH2Op5"><strong> the Wynn</strong> </a>has an excellent reputation. This is with excellent reason.</p> <p>The stunning Wynn hotel</p> <p>If you looked up buffet in the dictionary I think there should be photos of the Wynn buffet. This was the most extensive and most impressive buffet that I have ever visited. It was an Instagram friendly buffet – in a very Instagram friendly room – which is not common.The highlight for me was the seafood on offer.</p> <p>Oysters at the Wynn</p> <h2>5.Visit Major Tourist Destinations</h2> <p>Sure you’re in Las Vegas but why not visit the Pyramids, the Eiffel Tower and the Brooklyn Bridge whilst you are in town? All of the hotels that feature these tourism extravaganzas are along the Strip. I most enjoyed<a href="http://fave.co/2oGk79t"> New York New York</a> and the Brooklyn Bridge. There are loads of places for great fun cheesy photos.</p> <p>Visiting New York New York</p> <h2>6.Swim in as many of the 10 pools of the Venetian & Palazzo as you can</h2> <p>Why swim in only one pool when your hotel has so many pools that it actually provides a pool map? Yes, this is a map so you know where all 10 pools are located in this rather large hotel. There is also a code that lets you know if a pool leans towards Relax, Family or High Energy. Fantastic to be able to match your mood to your pool!</p> <p>Love a Pool Map!</p> <p>I have a confession to make. I only made it to one pool. It was so so so hot. It was too hot to be outside. I had to return to the air conditioning. But if you go and it isn’t the middle of July please do investigate more of the pools and let me know. Swimming in 10 different pools is one of the more unusual things to do in Vegas.</p> <h2>7.<strong>Visit the Neon Museum</strong></h2> <p>I was really looking forward to the <a href="http://www.neonmuseum.org/book-a-tour"><strong>Neon Museum</strong></a> and it did not disappoint! This unique museum is located in downtown or old las vegas. You will need a car or a cab to get here. The museum is mostly outdoors. It is sort of like a car park that is filled with the old Neon signs of Las Vegas. Kind of like a neon retirement home!</p> <p>A fabulous old Vegas sign</p> <p>I loved seeing all the old signs and it is extremely photogenic! Do make sure you check opening times. You do need to go on a tour to see the entire museum and these do not run in the height of summer. It is possible to see a limited selection if you can’t do a tour. This is what I had to do and I still really enjoyed it.There is also a fantastic gift shop with some great classic Vegas souvenirs. When it comes to what to do in Vegas besides gamble this is a brilliant option.</p> <h2>8.Explore the Arts District</h2> <p>Downtown Las Vegas has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence through art and funky coffee and cafes. There is also quite a bit of cool street art. The city has helpfully provided a <a href="http://lvartsandculture.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/new-arts-district-map-ready-for-you-to.html"><strong>map</strong> </a>of this area and it is full of galleries and shops. I really enjoyed the Arts Factory and the Art Square.</p> <p>The Arts Factory</p> <h2>9.Dinner at Nobu</h2> <p>One of the best things to do in Vegas other than gamble is eating well! It is tough to have a bad meal at <a href="http://fave.co/2oGXpOD"><strong>Nobu</strong></a>. The Las Vegas branch is no exception. The restaurant is located in Caesar’s Palace hotel so it also gives you a chance to check out another over the top Vegas hotel!</p> <p>Tiny delicious tacos at Nobu</p> <p>The service was fantastic. We were celebrating a birthday and essentially had the waiter order for us and he did an amazing job. It wasn’t cheap but the food was amazing and it is worth it for a special occasion. Don’t miss the Yellowtail Sashimi.</p> <h2>10.Drink coffee and have brunch at Makers and Finders</h2> <p>I was not impressed with the coffee available on the Strip – even at the good brunch restaurants. Too milky, too cappuccino like. I needed hipster servers with over the top grinding methods and bean obsessions. I found them at the fantastic <a href="http://www.makerslv.com/"><strong>Makers and Finders</strong></a> which is a great spot to visit for brunch or lunch before exploring the arts district.</p> <p>Vegas’ best flat white</p> <p>The café has a funky stripped back feel to it. There is a great menu. We started with some breakfast empanadas and they were an absolute sensation – fantastic light and flaky pastry. The coffee was absolutely brilliant – a perfect flat white!</p> <h2>11.Visit the Hoover Dam</h2> <p>In recent years I appear to have become a big of an Engineering nerd – this was one of 2 man-made natural wonders I visited in 2017! (the second being the Panama Canal). And I so enjoyed both of them!</p> <p>The Hoover Dam from far above</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.getyourguide.co.uk/las-vegas-l58/full-or-half-day-hoover-dam-tour-t24593/?partner_id=6XEGHZQ"><strong>Hoover Dam</strong></a> is a half day trip from the Strip. It takes about one hour to get there and the total trip is 4 ½ hours. There are loads of great photo opportunities. The tour will most likely take you to these spots and advise accordingly!</p> <p>The amazing Hoover Dam</p> <p>The Dam structure is very art deco and cool – even the toilets! The highlight is heading down 600 feet and seeing the turbines and learning about how they used water to cool the concrete so it would set faster and a whole bunch of ingenious and amazing things that were done to make this dam work.</p> <h2>12.See some Big Horned Sheep</h2> <p>Wildlife was certainly not something I expected to see in Vegas. OK insert standard jokes about badly behaved drunk people but seeing interesting animals just hanging out was quite unexpected! The end of the Hoover Dam tour involved stopping at the lovely<a href="https://lasvegasweekly.com/as-we-see-it/2014/aug/27/bighorn-sheep-sighting-boulder-city-hemenway-park/#/0"><strong> Hemenway Park</strong></a> which was full of Big Horned Sheep. The park also has a great view of Lake Mead. This is one of the few non-touristy things to do in Vegas.</p> <p>A rather stunning sheep</p> <h2>13. 7 Magic Mountains</h2> <p><a href="http://sevenmagicmountains.com/about/"><strong>7 Magic Mountains</strong></a> was another item high on my Vegas agenda! I had seen photos of these neon sculptures in the middle of the desert and was dead keen to get my own! You will need a car to visit the sculptures – we used Uber. The drive takes about 30 minutes each way from the strip. You only need about 15 minutes when you get there so the best thing to do is see if your driver will wait.</p> <p>The fantastic 7 Magic Mountains</p> <p>This is a good time to get your photo taken with the Welcome to Las Vegas sign – although there is often a serious queue! The sign is on the median strip and there is a parking area. Checking out the art scene is one of the best things to do in Las Vegas besides gambling.</p> <h2>14.Bouchon</h2> <p>I had heard of the French Laundry before this trip but I had not realized that the Bouchon brand has become a big deal in the US. We headed to <a href="https://www.venetian.com/restaurants/bouchon.html"><strong>Bouchon Bistro</strong></a> our first morning for brunch and we were absolutely delighted! This was the type of full-on over the top delicious American breakfast in Vegas that I was seeking! I had some amazing waffles with fruit and chantilly cream and everything else! The restaurant has a French bistro feel and the service was great.</p> <p>Waffles at Bouchon</p> <p>Bouchon is in the Venetian Hotel.</p> <h2>15.Discount shopping</h2> <p>The <a href="http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/las-vegas-north"><strong>Las Vegas North Outlet mall</strong> </a>is amazing! It is one of those very modern discount malls that doesn’t look at all like a discount mall. Diane Von Furstenberg, Kate Spade, Rag and Bone, BCBG and many more. We ubered there and back – it isn’t far from the Strip.</p> <p>A very productive day at the North Outlet Mall!</p> <p>There is a lot of shopping in the hotels – but do watch for the salespeople in the malls along the strip. You could be at a market in Asia. They are very full on with their free samples and compliments and questions. My advice is to avoid eye contact!</p> <h2>16.Freemont Street</h2> <p><a href="https://vegasexperience.com/"><strong>Freemont Street</strong></a> is the old Las Vegas Strip. It is now a rather tacky tourism extravaganza but kind of fun. It is a pedestrianized street that of course has a zip wire running over the top of it. There are loads of bars and many old casinos. This is own as a serious party/drinking area so if that is your thing this is your place. It is worth a visit out of curiosity.</p> <p>The zip line on Freemont Street</p> <h2>17.Fountain show at Bellagio</h2> <p>This stunning mix of water, lights and music is on every 15 minutes after 8pm. The best way to see the show is to have dinner at one of the six restaurants at the Bellagio. Do make sure you book ahead though as many people seem to know that this is the best way to see the show and the tables book out fast.</p> <p>The stunning fountains at the Belaggio</p> <p>While you are at the Belaggio check out any exhibitions that are on. When I went there was one celebrating the Isle of Capri and it was absolutely stunning.<a href="http://fave.co/2oH8WNX"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for The Bellagio.</strong></a></p> <h2>18.Morels Breakfast</h2> <p>This was my favourite breakfast on the Strip. <a href="http://morelslv.com/"><strong>Morels</strong></a> is also very conveniently located in the Palazzo hotel. It is not dissimilar to Bouchon in terms of décor but I thought the brunch menu was quite a bit better and more extensive. This is the place if you like your eggs plus plus plus! There is quite a bit of seafood on the menu for breakfast – particularly some great innovations like crab eggs benedict!</p> <p>Amazing breakfast at Morels</p> <p>The food was huge and massive! And they have some nice outdoor seating that has you virtually on the strip and makes for some fantastic people watching!</p> <h2>19.Stay at the Palazzo</h2> <p>It is very difficult to choose a hotel in Vegas! There are stunning hotels at extremely reasonable prices with absolutely huge rooms. <strong>The Palazzo</strong> and <strong>the Venetian</strong> are next door to each other and owned by the same people. We stayed at the Palazzo. It was ridiculously cheap for an absolutely stunning huge room with two giant double beds and a sunken living room!The thread count on the sheets was excellent as were the towels! The finish is luxe and you definitely feel you are having a 5-star experience! The location is fantastic with easy access to everything you may need. The service was also excellent – particularly the concierge service.</p> <p>The very comfortable bed at the Palazzo</p> <p>Breakfast is generally not included but there are so many restaurants to explore I would not have wanted it included in the price. Do note that if you even move something in the mini bar you get charged. I assume the reason for this is that people go and buy much cheaper alcohol at the Walgreens underneath the hotel and bring it back up. We did do this with some champagne but it was fine to grab a bucket and some ice and DIY chilling!<a href="http://fave.co/2oM4CNF"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for the Palazzo</strong></a></p> <h2>20.Get a spray tan at the Palazzo</h2> <p>Why not look the part while you’re in Vegas? I had a fantastic spray tan at the Venetian and if I lived nearby I would be doing this on a regular basis! The <a href="https://www.venetian.com/resort/amenities/canyon-ranch-spaclub.html">Canyon Ranch spa</a> has a branch in The Venetian where you will get substantial discounts and extra access to facilities as a guest of either The Venetian or The Palazzo. I should have devoted more time to Canyon Ranch!So many things to do in Vegas that aren’t gambling! Invest your money in shows and food and day trips rather than slot machine traumas!</p> <p>So many things to do in Vegas besides gamble – check out the street art!</p> <h2>Getting Around Las Vegas</h2> <p>Vegas plays tricks on you. Initially, everything seems quite walkable. However, you quickly realise that the hotels are the size of small cities and walking to the one next door can take 20 minutes. The strip is LONG! Strangely there are outside escalators all along the strip so that you can walk along a raised corridor to keep you away from the traffic. My gosh do people speed down the strip!A map is actually very helpful – it can be far more confusing than you would expect. Uber is the best way to get around – they are plentiful and cheap. We used them to get up and down the strip. There are buses but that seemed quite painful. We also used Uber to get to the mall and to the downtown area.</p> <h2>Where to Stay in Vegas</h2> <p>Vegas is not really about boutique hotels. I am sure there some but honestly to have the full Vegas experience I am breaking with my boutique positioning and saying go for the full-on decadent 5-star experience – I consider it almost a tourist attraction to do this!As I mentioned I stayed at the <strong>Palazzo</strong> which was fantastic. As it is owned by the same people I assume the <strong>Venetian</strong> is also excellent. <strong>The Wynn</strong> looked brilliant when we went for their Buffet. It does appear that the best place to stay is probably the <strong>Bellagio</strong>. There is so much going on at the hotel and the rooms look fantastic.<a href="http://fave.co/2oH2Op5"><strong>Click here for latest prices and availability for The Wynn</strong></a><a href="http://fave.co/2oM4CNF"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for the Palazzo</strong></a><a href="http://fave.co/2oE7HPF"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for The Venetian</strong></a><a href="http://fave.co/2oH8WNX"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for The Bellagio.</strong></a>For a more old world vegas experience check out <strong>Caesars Palace</strong> and <strong>New York New York.</strong><a href="http://fave.co/2H3WWN4"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for Caesars Palace</strong></a><a href="http://fave.co/2oGk79t"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for New York New York</strong></a> </p> <h2>Getting to Las Vegas</h2> <p>Click here for <a href="https://www.skyscanner.net/flights-to/las/cheap-flights-to-las-vegas-mccarran-airport.html"><strong>Cheap Flights to San Francisco.</strong></a>If you’re looking for Business Class Options to Las Vegas check out <a href="http://fave.co/2H3KXiJ"><strong>British Airways</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/destinations/usa/las-vegas.html"><strong>Virgin Atlantic</strong></a>, <a href="http://fave.co/2H37wEl"><strong>Etihad Airways</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.lufthansa.com/flight/flight-frankfurt-las_vegas"><strong>Lufthansa. </strong></a>There are some fantastic drives around Las Vegas – explore canyons, drive to the Grand Canyon or use it for 7 Magic Mountains and the Outlet Mall. <a href="http://www.rentalcars.com/en/city/us/las-vegas/"><strong>Click here for Great Deals on Car Hire</strong></a>.You can also find a <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=5423&awinaffid=311319&clickref=&p=https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/304191599;131530691;f"><strong>Great Deal on Travel Money</strong></a> here and <a href="https://www.world-first.co.uk/?cid=28102&awc=8051_1502148101_350aeab4a9e85e3932e8c6e82030301a&utm_source=AWIN&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=0&cid=28102&awc=8051_1502491919_ca55a32afba9c49fd4b3d6bfaa043392"><strong>Click here</strong></a> for travel insurance.</p> <h2>Tours in Vegas</h2> <p>There are lots of variations of the tours I mention above and others – <a href="https://www.getyourguide.co.uk/s/?q=Hoover%20Dam&customerSearch=1&searchSource=2&p=1/?partner_id=6XEGHZQ"><strong>Tours while in Las Vegas</strong></a>If you are travelling solo and looking for a group tour check out <a href="http://fave.co/2BCA0oW"><strong>Exodus</strong></a>, <a href="http://fave.co/2BDut1f"><strong>Just You Adventures</strong></a>, <a href="http://fave.co/2BE5H0Y"><strong>Explore</strong> </a>and <a href="http://fave.co/2BCiwc6"><strong>G Adventures.</strong></a> </p> <p>Originally published on our website - <a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/20-fantastic-things-vegas-besides-gamble/">URL</a></p> </html> |

I don’t really like musicals or live theatre. But this is AMAZING!</p>\n<p>The Beatles Love</p>\n<p>I saw the Beatles LOVE show and it blew me away. There was constantly so much to look at and so much happening and it was stunning and and and – wow it was just one of the best shows I have ever ever seen.</p>\n<h2>2.Things to do in Vegas Besides Gamble: David Copperfield</h2>\n<p>Again, I can’t believe I am putting this as number 2 but I loved <a href=\"https://www.expedia.co.uk/things-to-do/david-copperfield.a183797.activity-details\"><strong>David Copperfield</strong></a>! There is a good reason he is so very famous. He was a master showman. The show was brilliant. It was funny, smart, intriguing, fast-paced and engaging. No one told me magic could be this good! A car materialized! Yes in the middle of a theatre a car materialized. I hope this is enough to convince you.</p>\n<p>David Copperfield</p>\n<p>We had our hotel (<a href=\"http://fave.co/2oM4CNF\">The Palazzo</a>) book both of the above once we arrived. They are able to see everything that is on and ticket availability.</p>\n<h2>3.What to do in Vegas Besides Gamble: Helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon</h2>\n<p>It isn’t cheap but it is well worth it. I chose to go with <a href=\"https://www.sundancehelicopters.com/\"><strong>Sundance Helicopters</strong></a> and felt very safe. I was picked up at my hotel in a limo – because how else would you travel in Vegas??? We went to a small air base. The helicopter ride is less than an hour and the views are stunning. I loved seeing the red desert. We then flew over Lake Mead which was stunning.My ticket included doing the SkyWalk Express Tour. Personally, I didn’t find it scary but I am ok with heights. The best thing was taking photos nearby.</p>\n<p>The view of the Grand Canyon from the Skywalk</p>\n<p>The helicopter back took a slightly different route. As if the Grand Canyon and Lake Mead weren’t enough we also flew down the strip on our return which was fantastic!</p>\n<p>The strip from the air </p>\n<h2>4.Things to do in Vegas other than Gamble: Dinner buffet at the Wynn</h2>\n<p>I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food is in Vegas. I was expecting the worst of American clichés but I was absolutely delighted. Vegas is, of course, famous for a buffet and<a href=\"http://fave.co/2oH2Op5\"><strong> the Wynn</strong> </a>has an excellent reputation. This is with excellent reason.</p>\n<p>The stunning Wynn hotel</p>\n<p>If you looked up buffet in the dictionary I think there should be photos of the Wynn buffet. This was the most extensive and most impressive buffet that I have ever visited. It was an Instagram friendly buffet – in a very Instagram friendly room – which is not common.The highlight for me was the seafood on offer.</p>\n<p>Oysters at the Wynn</p>\n<h2>5.Visit Major Tourist Destinations</h2>\n<p>Sure you’re in Las Vegas but why not visit the Pyramids, the Eiffel Tower and the Brooklyn Bridge whilst you are in town? All of the hotels that feature these tourism extravaganzas are along the Strip. I most enjoyed<a href=\"http://fave.co/2oGk79t\"> New York New York</a> and the Brooklyn Bridge. There are loads of places for great fun cheesy photos.</p>\n<p>Visiting New York New York</p>\n<h2>6.Swim in as many of the 10 pools of the Venetian & Palazzo as you can</h2>\n<p>Why swim in only one pool when your hotel has so many pools that it actually provides a pool map? Yes, this is a map so you know where all 10 pools are located in this rather large hotel. There is also a code that lets you know if a pool leans towards Relax, Family or High Energy. Fantastic to be able to match your mood to your pool!</p>\n<p>Love a Pool Map!</p>\n<p>I have a confession to make. I only made it to one pool. It was so so so hot. It was too hot to be outside. I had to return to the air conditioning. But if you go and it isn’t the middle of July please do investigate more of the pools and let me know. Swimming in 10 different pools is one of the more unusual things to do in Vegas.</p>\n<h2>7.<strong>Visit the Neon Museum</strong></h2>\n<p>I was really looking forward to the <a href=\"http://www.neonmuseum.org/book-a-tour\"><strong>Neon Museum</strong></a> and it did not disappoint! This unique museum is located in downtown or old las vegas. You will need a car or a cab to get here. The museum is mostly outdoors. It is sort of like a car park that is filled with the old Neon signs of Las Vegas. Kind of like a neon retirement home!</p>\n<p>A fabulous old Vegas sign</p>\n<p>I loved seeing all the old signs and it is extremely photogenic! Do make sure you check opening times. You do need to go on a tour to see the entire museum and these do not run in the height of summer. It is possible to see a limited selection if you can’t do a tour. This is what I had to do and I still really enjoyed it.There is also a fantastic gift shop with some great classic Vegas souvenirs. When it comes to what to do in Vegas besides gamble this is a brilliant option.</p>\n<h2>8.Explore the Arts District</h2>\n<p>Downtown Las Vegas has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence through art and funky coffee and cafes. There is also quite a bit of cool street art. The city has helpfully provided a <a href=\"http://lvartsandculture.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/new-arts-district-map-ready-for-you-to.html\"><strong>map</strong> </a>of this area and it is full of galleries and shops. I really enjoyed the Arts Factory and the Art Square.</p>\n<p>The Arts Factory</p>\n<h2>9.Dinner at Nobu</h2>\n<p>One of the best things to do in Vegas other than gamble is eating well! It is tough to have a bad meal at <a href=\"http://fave.co/2oGXpOD\"><strong>Nobu</strong></a>. The Las Vegas branch is no exception. The restaurant is located in Caesar’s Palace hotel so it also gives you a chance to check out another over the top Vegas hotel!</p>\n<p>Tiny delicious tacos at Nobu</p>\n<p>The service was fantastic. We were celebrating a birthday and essentially had the waiter order for us and he did an amazing job. It wasn’t cheap but the food was amazing and it is worth it for a special occasion. Don’t miss the Yellowtail Sashimi.</p>\n<h2>10.Drink coffee and have brunch at Makers and Finders</h2>\n<p>I was not impressed with the coffee available on the Strip – even at the good brunch restaurants. Too milky, too cappuccino like. I needed hipster servers with over the top grinding methods and bean obsessions. I found them at the fantastic <a href=\"http://www.makerslv.com/\"><strong>Makers and Finders</strong></a> which is a great spot to visit for brunch or lunch before exploring the arts district.</p>\n<p>Vegas’ best flat white</p>\n<p>The café has a funky stripped back feel to it. There is a great menu. We started with some breakfast empanadas and they were an absolute sensation – fantastic light and flaky pastry. The coffee was absolutely brilliant – a perfect flat white!</p>\n<h2>11.Visit the Hoover Dam</h2>\n<p>In recent years I appear to have become a big of an Engineering nerd – this was one of 2 man-made natural wonders I visited in 2017! (the second being the Panama Canal). And I so enjoyed both of them!</p>\n<p>The Hoover Dam from far above</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://www.getyourguide.co.uk/las-vegas-l58/full-or-half-day-hoover-dam-tour-t24593/?partner_id=6XEGHZQ\"><strong>Hoover Dam</strong></a> is a half day trip from the Strip. It takes about one hour to get there and the total trip is 4 ½ hours. There are loads of great photo opportunities. The tour will most likely take you to these spots and advise accordingly!</p>\n<p>The amazing Hoover Dam</p>\n<p>The Dam structure is very art deco and cool – even the toilets! The highlight is heading down 600 feet and seeing the turbines and learning about how they used water to cool the concrete so it would set faster and a whole bunch of ingenious and amazing things that were done to make this dam work.</p>\n<h2>12.See some Big Horned Sheep</h2>\n<p>Wildlife was certainly not something I expected to see in Vegas. OK insert standard jokes about badly behaved drunk people but seeing interesting animals just hanging out was quite unexpected! The end of the Hoover Dam tour involved stopping at the lovely<a href=\"https://lasvegasweekly.com/as-we-see-it/2014/aug/27/bighorn-sheep-sighting-boulder-city-hemenway-park/#/0\"><strong> Hemenway Park</strong></a> which was full of Big Horned Sheep. The park also has a great view of Lake Mead. This is one of the few non-touristy things to do in Vegas.</p>\n<p>A rather stunning sheep</p>\n<h2>13. 7 Magic Mountains</h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://sevenmagicmountains.com/about/\"><strong>7 Magic Mountains</strong></a> was another item high on my Vegas agenda! I had seen photos of these neon sculptures in the middle of the desert and was dead keen to get my own! You will need a car to visit the sculptures – we used Uber. The drive takes about 30 minutes each way from the strip. You only need about 15 minutes when you get there so the best thing to do is see if your driver will wait.</p>\n<p>The fantastic 7 Magic Mountains</p>\n<p>This is a good time to get your photo taken with the Welcome to Las Vegas sign – although there is often a serious queue! The sign is on the median strip and there is a parking area. Checking out the art scene is one of the best things to do in Las Vegas besides gambling.</p>\n<h2>14.Bouchon</h2>\n<p>I had heard of the French Laundry before this trip but I had not realized that the Bouchon brand has become a big deal in the US. We headed to <a href=\"https://www.venetian.com/restaurants/bouchon.html\"><strong>Bouchon Bistro</strong></a> our first morning for brunch and we were absolutely delighted! This was the type of full-on over the top delicious American breakfast in Vegas that I was seeking! I had some amazing waffles with fruit and chantilly cream and everything else! The restaurant has a French bistro feel and the service was great.</p>\n<p>Waffles at Bouchon</p>\n<p>Bouchon is in the Venetian Hotel.</p>\n<h2>15.Discount shopping</h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/las-vegas-north\"><strong>Las Vegas North Outlet mall</strong> </a>is amazing! It is one of those very modern discount malls that doesn’t look at all like a discount mall. Diane Von Furstenberg, Kate Spade, Rag and Bone, BCBG and many more. We ubered there and back – it isn’t far from the Strip.</p>\n<p>A very productive day at the North Outlet Mall!</p>\n<p>There is a lot of shopping in the hotels – but do watch for the salespeople in the malls along the strip. You could be at a market in Asia. They are very full on with their free samples and compliments and questions. My advice is to avoid eye contact!</p>\n<h2>16.Freemont Street</h2>\n<p><a href=\"https://vegasexperience.com/\"><strong>Freemont Street</strong></a> is the old Las Vegas Strip. It is now a rather tacky tourism extravaganza but kind of fun. It is a pedestrianized street that of course has a zip wire running over the top of it. There are loads of bars and many old casinos. This is own as a serious party/drinking area so if that is your thing this is your place. It is worth a visit out of curiosity.</p>\n<p>The zip line on Freemont Street</p>\n<h2>17.Fountain show at Bellagio</h2>\n<p>This stunning mix of water, lights and music is on every 15 minutes after 8pm. The best way to see the show is to have dinner at one of the six restaurants at the Bellagio. Do make sure you book ahead though as many people seem to know that this is the best way to see the show and the tables book out fast.</p>\n<p>The stunning fountains at the Belaggio</p>\n<p>While you are at the Belaggio check out any exhibitions that are on. When I went there was one celebrating the Isle of Capri and it was absolutely stunning.<a href=\"http://fave.co/2oH8WNX\"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for The Bellagio.</strong></a></p>\n<h2>18.Morels Breakfast</h2>\n<p>This was my favourite breakfast on the Strip. <a href=\"http://morelslv.com/\"><strong>Morels</strong></a> is also very conveniently located in the Palazzo hotel. It is not dissimilar to Bouchon in terms of décor but I thought the brunch menu was quite a bit better and more extensive. This is the place if you like your eggs plus plus plus! There is quite a bit of seafood on the menu for breakfast – particularly some great innovations like crab eggs benedict!</p>\n<p>Amazing breakfast at Morels</p>\n<p>The food was huge and massive! And they have some nice outdoor seating that has you virtually on the strip and makes for some fantastic people watching!</p>\n<h2>19.Stay at the Palazzo</h2>\n<p>It is very difficult to choose a hotel in Vegas! There are stunning hotels at extremely reasonable prices with absolutely huge rooms. <strong>The Palazzo</strong> and <strong>the Venetian</strong> are next door to each other and owned by the same people. We stayed at the Palazzo. It was ridiculously cheap for an absolutely stunning huge room with two giant double beds and a sunken living room!The thread count on the sheets was excellent as were the towels! The finish is luxe and you definitely feel you are having a 5-star experience! The location is fantastic with easy access to everything you may need. The service was also excellent – particularly the concierge service.</p>\n<p>The very comfortable bed at the Palazzo</p>\n<p>Breakfast is generally not included but there are so many restaurants to explore I would not have wanted it included in the price. Do note that if you even move something in the mini bar you get charged. I assume the reason for this is that people go and buy much cheaper alcohol at the Walgreens underneath the hotel and bring it back up. We did do this with some champagne but it was fine to grab a bucket and some ice and DIY chilling!<a href=\"http://fave.co/2oM4CNF\"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for the Palazzo</strong></a></p>\n<h2>20.Get a spray tan at the Palazzo</h2>\n<p>Why not look the part while you’re in Vegas? I had a fantastic spray tan at the Venetian and if I lived nearby I would be doing this on a regular basis! The <a href=\"https://www.venetian.com/resort/amenities/canyon-ranch-spaclub.html\">Canyon Ranch spa</a> has a branch in The Venetian where you will get substantial discounts and extra access to facilities as a guest of either The Venetian or The Palazzo. I should have devoted more time to Canyon Ranch!So many things to do in Vegas that aren’t gambling! Invest your money in shows and food and day trips rather than slot machine traumas!</p>\n<p>So many things to do in Vegas besides gamble – check out the street art!</p>\n<h2>Getting Around Las Vegas</h2>\n<p>Vegas plays tricks on you. Initially, everything seems quite walkable. However, you quickly realise that the hotels are the size of small cities and walking to the one next door can take 20 minutes. The strip is LONG! Strangely there are outside escalators all along the strip so that you can walk along a raised corridor to keep you away from the traffic. My gosh do people speed down the strip!A map is actually very helpful – it can be far more confusing than you would expect. Uber is the best way to get around – they are plentiful and cheap. We used them to get up and down the strip. There are buses but that seemed quite painful. We also used Uber to get to the mall and to the downtown area.</p>\n<h2>Where to Stay in Vegas</h2>\n<p>Vegas is not really about boutique hotels. I am sure there some but honestly to have the full Vegas experience I am breaking with my boutique positioning and saying go for the full-on decadent 5-star experience – I consider it almost a tourist attraction to do this!As I mentioned I stayed at the <strong>Palazzo</strong> which was fantastic. As it is owned by the same people I assume the <strong>Venetian</strong> is also excellent. <strong>The Wynn</strong> looked brilliant when we went for their Buffet. It does appear that the best place to stay is probably the <strong>Bellagio</strong>. There is so much going on at the hotel and the rooms look fantastic.<a href=\"http://fave.co/2oH2Op5\"><strong>Click here for latest prices and availability for The Wynn</strong></a><a href=\"http://fave.co/2oM4CNF\"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for the Palazzo</strong></a><a href=\"http://fave.co/2oE7HPF\"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for The Venetian</strong></a><a href=\"http://fave.co/2oH8WNX\"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for The Bellagio.</strong></a>For a more old world vegas experience check out <strong>Caesars Palace</strong> and <strong>New York New York.</strong><a href=\"http://fave.co/2H3WWN4\"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for Caesars Palace</strong></a><a href=\"http://fave.co/2oGk79t\"><strong>Click here for the latest prices and availability for New York New York</strong></a> </p>\n<h2>Getting to Las Vegas</h2>\n<p>Click here for <a href=\"https://www.skyscanner.net/flights-to/las/cheap-flights-to-las-vegas-mccarran-airport.html\"><strong>Cheap Flights to San Francisco.</strong></a>If you’re looking for Business Class Options to Las Vegas check out <a href=\"http://fave.co/2H3KXiJ\"><strong>British Airways</strong></a>, <a href=\"https://www.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/destinations/usa/las-vegas.html\"><strong>Virgin Atlantic</strong></a>, <a href=\"http://fave.co/2H37wEl\"><strong>Etihad Airways</strong></a> and <a href=\"https://www.lufthansa.com/flight/flight-frankfurt-las_vegas\"><strong>Lufthansa. </strong></a>There are some fantastic drives around Las Vegas – explore canyons, drive to the Grand Canyon or use it for 7 Magic Mountains and the Outlet Mall. <a href=\"http://www.rentalcars.com/en/city/us/las-vegas/\"><strong>Click here for Great Deals on Car Hire</strong></a>.You can also find a <a href=\"http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=5423&awinaffid=311319&clickref=&p=https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/304191599;131530691;f\"><strong>Great Deal on Travel Money</strong></a> here and <a href=\"https://www.world-first.co.uk/?cid=28102&awc=8051_1502148101_350aeab4a9e85e3932e8c6e82030301a&utm_source=AWIN&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=0&cid=28102&awc=8051_1502491919_ca55a32afba9c49fd4b3d6bfaa043392\"><strong>Click here</strong></a> for travel insurance.</p>\n<h2>Tours in Vegas</h2>\n<p>There are lots of variations of the tours I mention above and others – <a href=\"https://www.getyourguide.co.uk/s/?q=Hoover%20Dam&customerSearch=1&searchSource=2&p=1/?partner_id=6XEGHZQ\"><strong>Tours while in Las Vegas</strong></a>If you are travelling solo and looking for a group tour check out <a href=\"http://fave.co/2BCA0oW\"><strong>Exodus</strong></a>, <a href=\"http://fave.co/2BDut1f\"><strong>Just You Adventures</strong></a>, <a href=\"http://fave.co/2BE5H0Y\"><strong>Explore</strong> </a>and <a href=\"http://fave.co/2BCiwc6\"><strong>G Adventures.</strong></a> </p>\n<p>Originally published on our website - <a href=\"https://www.sp-bx.com/20-fantastic-things-vegas-besides-gamble/\">URL</a></p>\n</html>",

Last week I proposed a number of venues in what I would consider the “target markets” which should be used for the XFL to get demand going. I also suggested why the smaller venues make sense for the company. This week, I would like to continue my discussion on venues using the same small stadium theory, being that I find this to be the only solution to make the league successful in the beginning. However, I want to focus on dark horse candidates.</p> <h2>Citifield – Fushing, NY</h2> <p>This 41,000 seat stadium in Flushing New York is the home of the New York Mets, the Mets can really use some revenue by bringing in another tenant. This stadium hosts many concerts and has seen a number of soccer games here. New York also does not have any football team as all NFL teams play in a monstrous stadium in NJ which would be a bad decision by the XFL. If the XFL wants to play in a major market and not Hartford, this would be the venue to use based on its size and location with many New Yorkers wishing for a team in the city itself, this can fill the void. However, it seems over the years teams seem to end up in New Jersey instead.</p> <h2>Tacoma Dome – Tacoma, wa</h2> <p>Between Portland and Seattle, Tacome is a small, but beautiful city easily accessible to both of the larger cities (especially Seattle). Tacome Dome is very loud when it has football games, but lacks really outstanding seating or luxury accommodations usually sought by a big league. For full football it seats a bit more than 10K which ay be small for the wants of the league. But clearly, they can make it loud and sell it out every game.</p> <h2>Dreamstyle Stadium – Alberqurque, NM</h2> <p>With seating just short of expanding to 43,000 this stadium is in a great climate in a growing city which would love to have a major pro-sport present There are first class facilities here and a massive new scoreboard. The real question here is would the school want a pro team playing here and how would the community really respond to having a team?</p> <h2>Cessna Stadium – Witchita, Kansas.</h2> <p>With seating over 24,000 the stadium is the perfect size for the XFL. Witchita State University has only been using it for Track ever since folding its football team a number of years back. Surely, they would love to get a tenant to make use of the site and get good money doing it. Witchita has a population over 300,000 and may well be a surprisingly good place for a team.</p> <h2>RFK Stadium – Washington DC</h2> <p>Considering the size of the city and its surrounds, I am surprised our Nation’s Capital is usually left off possible city lists. RFK stadium the former home of the Redskins, now hosts DC United Soccer only. With seating at 45K,I am sure the owners would love to bring back football to their venue. But, the city is getting saturated in Sports and loves its Hockey at this time of year, which may hurt the ability of the XFL to thrive.</p> <h2>Cardinal Stadium – Louisville, KY</h2> <p>This city may well want to have a pro-sports option in a state totally void of it. College sports have thrived here and Louisville is an easy access city of similar sizes to other towns that seem to get touted for a team more often. This stadium has no permanent football tenant as the Louisville U football team has moved to Papa John’s Stadium. With capacity at 37,925 this may be a good spot for a team, if anyone wants to think Kentucky is for more than college basketball and hose racing.There are plenty of “dark horse” candidates out there. I find these to be the most live of the not as obvious choices. </p> <p>Originally published on our website - <a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/possible-surprise-venues-xfl-can-consider/">URL</a></p> </html> |

Last week I proposed a number of venues in what I would consider the “target markets” which should be used for the XFL to get demand going. I also suggested why the smaller venues make sense for the company. This week, I would like to continue my discussion on venues using the same small stadium theory, being that I find this to be the only solution to make the league successful in the beginning. However, I want to focus on dark horse candidates.</p>\n<h2>Citifield – Fushing, NY</h2>\n<p>This 41,000 seat stadium in Flushing New York is the home of the New York Mets, the Mets can really use some revenue by bringing in another tenant. This stadium hosts many concerts and has seen a number of soccer games here. New York also does not have any football team as all NFL teams play in a monstrous stadium in NJ which would be a bad decision by the XFL. If the XFL wants to play in a major market and not Hartford, this would be the venue to use based on its size and location with many New Yorkers wishing for a team in the city itself, this can fill the void. However, it seems over the years teams seem to end up in New Jersey instead.</p>\n<h2>Tacoma Dome – Tacoma, wa</h2>\n<p>Between Portland and Seattle, Tacome is a small, but beautiful city easily accessible to both of the larger cities (especially Seattle). Tacome Dome is very loud when it has football games, but lacks really outstanding seating or luxury accommodations usually sought by a big league. For full football it seats a bit more than 10K which ay be small for the wants of the league. But clearly, they can make it loud and sell it out every game.</p>\n<h2>Dreamstyle Stadium – Alberqurque, NM</h2>\n<p>With seating just short of expanding to 43,000 this stadium is in a great climate in a growing city which would love to have a major pro-sport present There are first class facilities here and a massive new scoreboard.

It’s sad to say that the majority are abusive and to be honest just terrible.From big cats being sedated for selfies, to elephants being taunted and abused to perform and be submissive enough for riding.Carly and I love animals and don’t condone elephant riding and the likes and urge you to do the same.In the end we chose <a href="https://www.elephantjunglesanctuary.com/">Elephant Jungle Sanctuary.</a></p> <h4>Meeting The Elephants</h4> <p>Elephant Jungle Sanctuary is an ethical and sustainable eco-tourism project located approximately 60km from the city of Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. Founded in July 2014, it is a joint initiative between members of the Karen hill-tribes and Chiang Mai locals who were concerned about the welfare of elephants in Thailand.The day started at 8am being picked up from our hostel in the old town. We drove around town, picked up a few more travellers and headed off. The drive took about 2 hours. It was a long windy drive, not ideal if you had a heavy night before. A few people were feeling a little sick towards the end of the drive.Arriving at the camp we got off the truck and all helped carrying bananas and the food for our lunch down to the camp. At the camp we were all given traditional Karen tribe shirts to wear and sat down for a brief talk about the sanctuary and the elephants themselves, including names and ages. Then off to the first family of elephants!There are 3 families at the camp we were at. We spent the morning visiting each family feeding them bananas and sugar cane, their favourite!The star of the show being the baby at the third family.</p> <h4>Midday</h4> <p>We spent a good half an hour with each family then all headed back to camp for a lunch they had provided. A small Thai buffet with rice, chicken, veggies and a good selection of fresh fruit.After lunch we all sat down and made some ‘medicine balls’ for the elephants. these balls were made from brown rice, bananas and local tree bark. I don’t know if it was as all that medicinal, but they sure loved them! Everyone had a go grinding the rice and mashing the bananas before rolling them into balls.We gave the elephants their nutritious snack and followed them to the ‘mud spa’. This was so much fun, and the elephants seemed to love it. Everyone had a great time getting muddy and giving the elephants and each other a good covering.Once we were all good and muddy, humans and elephants included it was onwards to the river to wash off.That concluded our day with the elephants. We dried off and enjoyed tea and coffee provided as the day came to a close.</p> <h4>After Thoughts</h4> <p>The day was so much fun, we met a great bunch of people from all ages and backgrounds and absolutely loved spending time with these gentle giants.The elephants looked happy here and the guides seemed to have a real bond with them. It’s hard to know what happens behind closed doors, and if what we saw was just for show. But on the other hand, compared to being ridden all day and being chained up this was a massive step in the right direction. Thailand still has a long way to go with its animal attractions and just general animal care, but if places like this keep trying to lead the way and set an example then hopefully things will change in the not so distant future.We had a great time, it’s not something I would do again, once is enough. Yet we thoroughly enjoyed the day.If you are in Chiang Mai and want to spend time with elephants, please do not ride them.Look into sanctuaries and ethical choices. </p> <p>Originally published on our website - <a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/elephant-jungle-sanctuary-chiang-mai-thailand/">URL</a></p> </html> |

Barkley displayed why he’s the not only the top running back, but the top overall prospect. At 233 pounds, Barkley ran a 4.40 40-yard dash. That kind of speed for someone his size is something you don’t get every day. While displaying speed, Barkley also displayed his power by doing 29 reps on the bench press and had a 41 inch vertical. Barkley did everything right. Barkley also showed us his pass catching and route running abilities. Whoever drafts him will likely use him as a receiver at some point. Whether that’s actually lining up as a receiver or out of the backfield, Barkley is a dangerous receiver. He’s the full package. It’s unusual for a running back to go first overall, but Barkley could be taken first and there would be no questioning it. I could go on and on about this guy, so I’m just going to stop now.</p> <h5>DJ Chark, WR LSU</h5> <p>At 6’3″ and 200lbs, Chark ran a 4.34 at the combine. That’s insane speed for someone his size. Chark doesn’t have the stats you want to see from a top receiver, but his QB situation at LSU wasn’t exactly favorable. He may not be the most polished receiver in the draft, but he is the fastest. Teams love speed. Chark also posted a 40 inch vertical, showing teams he has the ability to jump over defensive backs to get the ball. After a good week at the Senior Bowl and now a good performance at the combine, Chark has significantly boosted his stock. I don’t think Chark gets into the first round, but to me he’s a for sure second round pick.</p> <h5>Kolton Miller, OT UCLA</h5> <p>Miller had a great combine workout, showing off is athletic ability. He ran under 5.00 in the 40-yard dash, posted a 31.5 vertical, and had a broad jump of 10’1″. During his position drills he moved around very well, which is what every team looking for an offensive lineman wants to see. Miller was one of, if not the best offensive lineman at the combine. He benefits not only from his incredible workout, but from the poor workouts of others such as Orlando Brown, who you’ll find on the loser list. Kolton Miller may have just put his name into first round consideration.</p> <h5>Mike Gesicki, TE Penn State</h5> <p>Freak. Mike Gesicki is a freak. Standing at 6’6″ and 247lbs, his size alone makes him a freak. Then you add in a 4.54 40-yard dash, 41.5 inch vertical, and a 10’9″ broad jump. Double freak. A twitter post by the NFL stated Gesicki’s numbers made him “<a href="https://twitter.com/NFLResearch/status/970032809652797441">taller than Calvin Johnson, faster than Antonio Brown and a more explosive jumper than Odell Beckham Jr.”</a> How does that not grab someone’s attention? Gesicki’s name might be thrown into the first round, but I don’t think he goes there. Maybe one TE will go in the first, maybe. Gesicki is a round two guy for sure if he’s not taken in the first round. He’s on the radar for a lot of teams after today.</p> <h5>Josh Allen, QB Wyoming</h5> <p>I’m not high on Allen myself, but he was the bet of the quarterbacks today. He showed accuracy on just about every throw, regardless of if it was deep, intermediate, or short. As we all knew, Allen threw the deep ball with ease. The accuracy of other quarterbacks such as Josh Rosen and Lamar Jackson was off. Sam Darnold didn’t even throw. Josh Allen showed teams looking for a quarterback exactly what they wanted to see, while most of the other quarterbacks didn’t. There’s no question he’s a first round pick.You may also like...<a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/should-nfl-teams-be-worried-about-sam-darnolds-turnover-plagued-season/">Should NFL Teams Be Worried About Sam Darnold’s Turnover Plagued Season?</a><a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/nfl-combine-2018-pre-combine-nfl-mock-draft/">NFL Combine 2018: Pre-Combine NFL Mock Draft</a><a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/nfl-free-agent-tracker-guide-discussion-rumours-2018-best-free-agent-fits-across-the-nfl/">NFL Free Agent Tracker, Guide, Discussion & Rumours 2018 – Best Free Agent Fits Across The NFL</a><a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/which-quarterback-has-the-most-to-gain-at-the-nfl-combine/">Which Quarterback Has The Most To Gain At The NFL Combine?</a></p> <h2>NFL Combine 2018 Losers</h2> <h5>Orlando Brown</h5> <p>Was he the worst performer out of the offensive lineman or the worst overall performer? Either way, Orlando Brown hurt his draft stock significantly. It may have even been bad enough to knock him out of the first round. His 40 time was 5.85, he only had a 19.5 inch vertical, and his broad jump was 6’10”. Brown’s workout will have teams going back to the tape and second guessing him. Unless it’s to see how truly dominant you are, you don’t want people going back to the tape.</p> <h5>Ronald Jones II</h5> <p>Ronald Jones isn’t a loser because of a poor performance, but rather because of an injury. He didn’t get to show scouts his speed or athleticism. What he really needed to do was show teams his ability to catch the ball. With several prospects moving up the board, it just sucks for Jones because he didn’t get to show his stuff. He will get another chance at his pro day, but this may have knocked him down into the second round.</p> <h5>Lamar Jackson</h5> <p>Lamar Jackson needs to change his attitude about teams wanting him to play receiver. I get that he wants to be a quarterback, but when you refuse to do certain drills it shows teams you’re not willing to do whatever it takes to help your team. Jackson didn’t run the 40 and didn’t do athletic testing. He wanted to do everything in quarterback drills, but that ended up hurting him. Jackson wasn’t accurate with his throws, which is what teams were looking for. Jackson is known as a dual threat player, but because he didn’t do the athletic drills, he didn’t show that second threat. Poor choice by Jackson.</p> <h5>Calvin Ridley</h5> <p>Ridley ran a good forty time, but he didn’t impress in the rest of the drills. His numbers didn’t show the burst scouts seem to love about him. Other receivers like DJ Chark and DJ Moore boosted their stock and closed the gap on Ridley as the top receiver. Ridley is a good route runner, but he didn’t move well at the combine. Teams will go back to the tape on Ridley. His workout wasn’t terrible, but he’s a loser because he didn’t perform up to expectations.</p> <h5>Maurice Hurst</h5> <p>Defensive lineman aren’t doing on field workouts until tomorrow, but Hurst won’t be participating. Hurst was <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/03/03/report-maurice-hurst-wont-work-out-nfl-combine-after-being-diagnosed-heart-condition/391986002/">diagnosed with a heart condition</a>, which will keep him out of the workouts. Teams will red flag Hurst for that condition, which is very unfortunate. This may jeopardize his first round status, and depending on the severity, his NFL career. I’m rooting for this guy, I really am. It’s so unfortunate when an explosive athlete like Hurst has to go through that.</p> <p>“<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pennstatelive/36943517226/in/photolist-Yhzbzy-Y4SwpY-Y92oMg-Y925Dn-Xjsv8L-X8tNGd-YB8wMm-YDLkfB-XvLygL-XvKqmQ-Yjdbs5-XYaBbs-X81Ccv-Y6k6tG-YmripM-Xk6186-XgjYVJ-W49uqW-Xk3n38-W484cG-Tw1Uu7-PD2Fkq-NtG6hJ-Ncm3VF-MBLG2q-M3VFj7-MNWxWM-MjTp9R-LFMkiW-Xk2r3K-UyDp4h-U89wXm-TwTokw-TVfazD-SQmkiq-TSSq5N-U4bjjC-TKQcYy-S3FhkB-PzDXe3-N2mmyq-NNsrs8-NkSE4K-NidYcN-N2aDfS-Ncof7z-N9iarw-N285KA-N9h6Nb-MQorKN">Gesicki</a>” by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pennstatelive/">Penn State</a> is licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/">CC BY-NC-ND 2.0</a> </p> <p>Originally published on our website -URL is <a href="https://www.sp-bx.com/nfl-combine-half-way-point-winners-and-losers/">https://www.sp-bx.com/nfl-combine-half-way-point-winners-and-losers/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> </html> |

Well, recent news shows that the Telegram owner has raised on their ICO (initial coin offering) $850 million, according to <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1729650/000095017218000030/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml">SEC filing</a>. It’s pretty obvious that businessmen around the globe strongly believe in the future of TON Blockchain that Telegram Messenger plans to develop during post-ICO stage. Company’s CEO Pavel Durov initially planned to achieve around $600 million but the demand for TON project pushed the limit even higher.Just the pre-sale alone is the largest ICO seen to this day and beats up even some major current ICO players on the market. So, it’s safe to say, those who participate in the ICO public sale will totally see their profit in the Q3 2018 (after the early MVP of TON will be released). But… What if you desire to launch your own worldwide supported ICO development like Telegram? Keep reading to find out how to achieve launching success!</p> <h3>ICO Walkthrough. The Components of Successful ICO Development</h3> <p>At <a href="https://tecsynt.com/">TECSYNT Solutions</a>, we often get such requests from our clients as ‘consult me on how to start ICO, please’ or ‘I want to launch an ICO campaign. What should I do and how?’. Well, we decided not to reinvent the wheel and collaborated with our Head of Business Development department — <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliakurganova/">Julia Kurganova</a>. One of her areas of expertise is Blockchain and ICO Strategy development, which is why we conducted a roundtable together in order to respond our clients properly.The first question always would be — where should you start. The ICO development is a hot topic these days but do you really know what an ICO means? No or not really? So, for those who can’t answer this questions here will be your starting point in the ICO Walkthrough we’ve prepared for you.</p> <h3>Stage 1. Discovery Phase. Pre-ICO</h3> <p>This step includes thorough business and in-depth marketing analysis that will help to answer is your ICO development idea suitable for your business? Launching successful ICO campaign is hard enough but it’s much harder when you dive in the token sales without preparations. You can spend tons of time and money on an ICO campaign that will fail in drawing enough investments.A startup owner should keep in mind that ICO isn’t a tool for just any business. First and foremost, your crypto tokens must generate actual value for the users. Issuing a coin offering just to become rich at the expense of your contributors won’t be greeted positively. The key principles of professional cryptocurrency market are authenticity and transparency. So, before declaring the crowdsale of tokens on some ICO portal, you should develop a strong strategy and consider if you even should conduct the sale at all.So, how to decide whether you should issue an ICO campaign or not? The decision depends on whether your cryptocurrency tokens can be integrated into your original product in the most meaningful way. If it’s just coins for future exchange trading, it practically guarantees that your ICO campaign won’t receive high interest from crowdfunders. And you risk being left outside the race after spending all your budget on the initially unprofitable campaign.Summing it up, before you decide to invest in ICO development make sure that your decentralized tokens are able to increase the value of your original product. For this purpose ask a trusted tech team to walk you through the professional discovery phase hand-in-hand that will result in a whitepaper.</p> <h3>Stage 2. ICO Development Pro Tips for Successful White Paper</h3> <p>On the pre-ICO stage, the White Paper is a critical component of your business strategy. A bad document usually brings to nothing all your business efforts. So, pay attention to the details and keep in mind that your White Paper should be crystal clear and plainly explain such things:</p> <p>Telegram White Paper</p> <p><em>– What’s your main idea and why do you need a fundraising?– How will you build your crypto tokens?– How the token sales and redemption will be structured?– Outlined concept of why your idea will change the world?– The assessment of economic and data security risks.</em>This information could be 10 or 100 pages long, it’s up to the team you hire for the research phase. We also recommend hiring professional to translate the White Paper into multiple languages. It’ll help you to outreach the world and attract more attention to your project. The cost of this ICO development stage would be around $15,000– $20,000.</p> <h3>Typical structure of good White Paper document will look like this:</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Background</strong></li> </ul> <p>Describe your management team, key team members and their level of experience. Tell how the project started.</p> <ul> <li><strong>General Information</strong></li> </ul> <p>Market description, how the Blockchain can be applied to it.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Market and Business Analysis</strong></li> </ul> <p>Deep analysis that will outline market growth potential and research of all existing competitors.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Product’s Description</strong></li> </ul> <p>What do you actually plan on selling to investors and what is the duration of the offering.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Token/Coin Outline</strong></li> </ul> <p>Which form and pricing mechanisms will your product have and the number of tokens or coins that will be issued.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Technical Details</strong></li> </ul> <p>What technology stack will be used for an ICO development, along with more detailed product description, stated long-term value of each coin, various graphics, charts and calculations.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Terms of Use</strong></li> </ul> <p>How and where your product can be used.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Pre-ICO rules</strong></li> </ul> <p>Clear terms and conditions that would be applied to investors.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Development Roadmap</strong></li> </ul> <p>Show your buyers what’s done to the date and what needs to be done after sale stage. Picture the milestones and timeline that are planned for the whole development process.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Business Plan</strong></li> </ul> <p>Strategic budget — how much money will be spent and on what purposes.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Profits</strong></li> </ul> <p>Show what benefits do you offer and which rights will be provided to the token/coin holders.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Basic Conclusions</strong></li> </ul> <p>Here is an example — <a href="https://icorating.com/upload/whitepaper/gNQ7e9z3lCGi519Wz8mmC0Kg8aA0goeZKAQ802vo.pdf">Telegram ICO white paper</a>. Look closely at the section that describes the actual value of their tokens.</p> <h3>Stage 3. Gather Up Reliable ICO Development Team</h3> <p>Launching success head-on depends on a team you hire not only for conducting a white paper and designing a website. First of all, you must have team members who know how to write you reliable Smart Contracts and develop cryptocurrency wallets. So, you should avoid hiring shady developers or companies and choose the quality over the price of software development.Taking into account the launching success of famous ICO campaigns, we can say that communicating within a team, its goals and the level of investors’ safety are the top 3 issues that tend hold the interest of target audience. Therefore, your team must have a strong connection with investors — seamless communication is critical. Time zones difference, clearly determined goals and constant client support also matter not just before, but during and after ICO. Every investor chooses the best and open-up team behind the ICO project he or she plan contributing to.To sum it up, all your major team members must have openly available social media profiles with their face pictures (preferably Linkedin) so any potential investor could check them out. And your team’s reputation must be crystal clear.</p> <h3>Stage 4. Outreach your investors. Start marketing your ICO development</h3> <p>Any cryptocurrency business is only successful as much as its marketing campaign. So, it’s very important that you create not only a media hype but a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out">FOMO</a> (fear of missing out) as well. FOMO would allow to attract a higher number of investors and conduct a very impressive funding. Investing in PR and marketing stage is always wise if you want to raise even more money.</p> <p>Boost your ICO white paper on relevant web platforms and the crypto community. Like <a href="https://pareto.network/">Pareto ICO</a> — real-time peer-to-peer content marketplace and actionable intelligence platform for investors. Also, it’s always a plus for your marketing campaign if you involve certain Blockchain partner that is known on the market to promote your project. In this case, your investors will feel safer while contributing to your ICO development.In addition, try to involve all possible marketing resources to let people know about your brand new ICO project. Conduct strong advertising campaign on following social platforms:<em>– Reddit;– Top listing ICO portals;– Quora;– LinkedIn groups;– Twitter;– Facebook groups;– Hacker News, Indie Hackers and Medium journals (Hacker Noon, Startups & Venture Capital), etc.</em>Aside from this, you’ll need your own beautifully designed and fast website with all important information about your ICO development and tokens sale. In addition to hosting server for fundraising and tokens distribution, this optimized site must have following sections:</p> <ul> <li><em><strong>Contacts and social profiles with high-quality photos and short biographies, — yours and your team members;</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>Technical Documentation: Privacy Terms, Terms of use, Whitepaper;</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>Partners or advisors, maybe reference from them or your existing clients;</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>Product and pre-ICO Description;</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>A subscription form;</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>Project Roadmap;</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>Press Kit and News from ICO industry;</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>A video presentation of your pre-ICO (or photos, links to publications about your product, maybe speeches);</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>Product’s beta preview if it’s ready.</strong></em></li> </ul> <p>Also, don’t neglect the email marketing. It allows spending very little time and money but outreach wider number of investors and media personas. You send emails to everyone who can potentially be willing to invest in your ICO and then maintain the connection with those people who responded to you positively. After that, keep the schedule for your email marketing:<em>– Send your clients weekly news;– Notify them about the investment date (a month, a week, a day and five minutes before the ICO start);– Provide security alerts and various links to helpful how-to guides.</em>But the most important thing — you must ensure your investors’ safety and let them know that they will be protected while participating in your funding round. For example, use the <a href="https://www.escrow.com/">multi-signature escrow wallet</a> to gather up the names of all key holders to announce them to the public. In your marketing campaign, define all the terms and conditions for investors and propose some premium discounts for early investors.</p> <h3>Stage 5. Launching Success of ICO development</h3> <p>Here come the launch day and post-ICO support. After your tokens are sold and the fundraising is finished, it’s time for your developers to prepare and launch your project. Your investors are waiting for tangible results and that same actual value of your tokens/coins we talked about earlier. In case of an emergency, also make sure that there is an established procedure for the returning of the funds to your contributors — if you fail to reach the goals and the would be a need to close the campaign back.Make sure that your ICO is getting positive attention on platforms (like <a href="https://www.trustpilot.com/">Trusted Tech Team Reviews</a>).

Well, recent news shows that the Telegram owner has raised on their ICO (initial coin offering) $850 million, according to <a href=\"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1729650/000095017218000030/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml\">SEC filing</a>. It’s pretty obvious that businessmen around the globe strongly believe in the future of TON Blockchain that Telegram Messenger plans to develop during post-ICO stage. Company’s CEO Pavel Durov initially planned to achieve around $600 million but the demand for TON project pushed the limit even higher.Just the pre-sale alone is the largest ICO seen to this day and beats up even some major current ICO players on the market. So, it’s safe to say, those who participate in the ICO public sale will totally see their profit in the Q3 2018 (after the early MVP of TON will be released). But… What if you desire to launch your own worldwide supported ICO development like Telegram? Keep reading to find out how to achieve launching success!</p>\n<h3>ICO Walkthrough. The Components of Successful ICO Development</h3>\n<p>At <a href=\"https://tecsynt.com/\">TECSYNT Solutions</a>, we often get such requests from our clients as ‘consult me on how to start ICO, please’ or ‘I want to launch an ICO campaign. What should I do and how?’. Well, we decided not to reinvent the wheel and collaborated with our Head of Business Development department — <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliakurganova/\">Julia Kurganova</a>. One of her areas of expertise is Blockchain and ICO Strategy development, which is why we conducted a roundtable together in order to respond our clients properly.The first question always would be — where should you start. The ICO development is a hot topic these days but do you really know what an ICO means? No or not really? So, for those who can’t answer this questions here will be your starting point in the ICO Walkthrough we’ve prepared for you.</p>\n<h3>Stage 1. Discovery Phase. Pre-ICO</h3>\n<p>This step includes thorough business and in-depth marketing analysis that will help to answer is your ICO development idea suitable for your business? Launching successful ICO campaign is hard enough but it’s much harder when you dive in the token sales without preparations. You can spend tons of time and money on an ICO campaign that will fail in drawing enough investments.A startup owner should keep in mind that ICO isn’t a tool for just any business. First and foremost, your crypto tokens must generate actual value for the users. Issuing a coin offering just to become rich at the expense of your contributors won’t be greeted positively. The key principles of professional cryptocurrency market are authenticity and transparency. So, before declaring the crowdsale of tokens on some ICO portal, you should develop a strong strategy and consider if you even should conduct the sale at all.So, how to decide whether you should issue an ICO campaign or not? The decision depends on whether your cryptocurrency tokens can be integrated into your original product in the most meaningful way. If it’s just coins for future exchange trading, it practically guarantees that your ICO campaign won’t receive high interest from crowdfunders. And you risk being left outside the race after spending all your budget on the initially unprofitable campaign.Summing it up, before you decide to invest in ICO development make sure that your decentralized tokens are able to increase the value of your original product. For this purpose ask a trusted tech team to walk you through the professional discovery phase hand-in-hand that will result in a whitepaper.</p>\n<h3>Stage 2. ICO Development Pro Tips for Successful White Paper</h3>\n<p>On the pre-ICO stage, the White Paper is a critical component of your business strategy. A bad document usually brings to nothing all your business efforts. So, pay attention to the details and keep in mind that your White Paper should be crystal clear and plainly explain such things:</p>\n<p>Telegram White Paper</p>\n<p><em>– What’s your main idea and why do you need a fundraising?– How will you build your crypto tokens?– How the token sales and redemption will be structured?– Outlined concept of why your idea will change the world?– The assessment of economic and data security risks.</em>This information could be 10 or 100 pages long, it’s up to the team you hire for the research phase. We also recommend hiring professional to translate the White Paper into multiple languages. It’ll help you to outreach the world and attract more attention to your project. The cost of this ICO development stage would be around $15,000– $20,000.</p>\n<h3>Typical structure of good White Paper document will look like this:</h3>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Background</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Describe your management team, key team members and their level of experience. Tell how the project started.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>General Information</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Market description, how the Blockchain can be applied to it.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Market and Business Analysis</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Deep analysis that will outline market growth potential and research of all existing competitors.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Product’s Description</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>What do you actually plan on selling to investors and what is the duration of the offering.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Token/Coin Outline</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Which form and pricing mechanisms will your product have and the number of tokens or coins that will be issued.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Technical Details</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>What technology stack will be used for an ICO development, along with more detailed product description, stated long-term value of each coin, various graphics, charts and calculations.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Terms of Use</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>How and where your product can be used.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Pre-ICO rules</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Clear terms and conditions that would be applied to investors.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Development Roadmap</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Show your buyers what’s done to the date and what needs to be done after sale stage. Picture the milestones and timeline that are planned for the whole development process.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Business Plan</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Strategic budget — how much money will be spent and on what purposes.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Profits</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Show what benefits do you offer and which rights will be provided to the token/coin holders.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Basic Conclusions</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Here is an example — <a href=\"https://icorating.com/upload/whitepaper/gNQ7e9z3lCGi519Wz8mmC0Kg8aA0goeZKAQ802vo.pdf\">Telegram ICO white paper</a>. Look closely at the section that describes the actual value of their tokens.</p>\n<h3>Stage 3. Gather Up Reliable ICO Development Team</h3>\n<p>Launching success head-on depends on a team you hire not only for conducting a white paper and designing a website. First of all, you must have team members who know how to write you reliable Smart Contracts and develop cryptocurrency wallets. So, you should avoid hiring shady developers or companies and choose the quality over the price of software development.Taking into account the launching success of famous ICO campaigns, we can say that communicating within a team, its goals and the level of investors’ safety are the top 3 issues that tend hold the interest of target audience. Therefore, your team must have a strong connection with investors — seamless communication is critical. Time zones difference, clearly determined goals and constant client support also matter not just before, but during and after ICO. Every investor chooses the best and open-up team behind the ICO project he or she plan contributing to.To sum it up, all your major team members must have openly available social media profiles with their face pictures (preferably Linkedin) so any potential investor could check them out. And your team’s reputation must be crystal clear.</p>\n<h3>Stage 4. Outreach your investors. Start marketing your ICO development</h3>\n<p>Any cryptocurrency business is only successful as much as its marketing campaign. So, it’s very important that you create not only a media hype but a <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out\">FOMO</a> (fear of missing out) as well. FOMO would allow to attract a higher number of investors and conduct a very impressive funding. Investing in PR and marketing stage is always wise if you want to raise even more money.</p>\n<p>Boost your ICO white paper on relevant web platforms and the crypto community. Like <a href=\"https://pareto.network/\">Pareto ICO</a> — real-time peer-to-peer content marketplace and actionable intelligence platform for investors. Also, it’s always a plus for your marketing campaign if you involve certain Blockchain partner that is known on the market to promote your project. In this case, your investors will feel safer while contributing to your ICO development.In addition, try to involve all possible marketing resources to let people know about your brand new ICO project. Conduct strong advertising campaign on following social platforms:<em>– Reddit;– Top listing ICO portals;– Quora;– LinkedIn groups;– Twitter;– Facebook groups;– Hacker News, Indie Hackers and Medium journals (Hacker Noon, Startups & Venture Capital), etc.</em>Aside from this, you’ll need your own beautifully designed and fast website with all important information about your ICO development and tokens sale. In addition to hosting server for fundraising and tokens distribution, this optimized site must have following sections:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><em><strong>Contacts and social profiles with high-quality photos and short biographies, — yours and your team members;</strong></em></li>\n <li><em><strong>Technical Documentation: Privacy Terms, Terms of use, Whitepaper;</strong></em></li>\n <li><em><strong>Partners or advisors, maybe reference from them or your existing clients;</strong></em></li>\n <li><em><strong>Product and pre-ICO Description;</strong></em></li>\n <li><em><strong>A subscription form;</strong></em></li>\n <li><em><strong>Project Roadmap;</strong></em></li>\n <li><em><strong>Press Kit and News from ICO industry;</strong></em></li>\n <li><em><strong>A video presentation of your pre-ICO (or photos, links to publications about your product, maybe speeches);</strong></em></li>\n <li><em><strong>Product’s beta preview if it’s ready.</strong></em></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Also, don’t neglect the email marketing. It allows spending very little time and money but outreach wider number of investors and media personas. You send emails to everyone who can potentially be willing to invest in your ICO and then maintain the connection with those people who responded to you positively. After that, keep the schedule for your email marketing:<em>– Send your clients weekly news;– Notify them about the investment date (a month, a week, a day and five minutes before the ICO start);– Provide security alerts and various links to helpful how-to guides.</em>But the most important thing — you must ensure your investors’ safety and let them know that they will be protected while participating in your funding round. For example, use the <a href=\"https://www.escrow.com/\">multi-signature escrow wallet</a> to gather up the names of all key holders to announce them to the public. In your marketing campaign, define all the terms and conditions for investors and propose some premium discounts for early investors.</p>\n<h3>Stage 5. Launching Success of ICO development</h3>\n<p>Here come the launch day and post-ICO support. After your tokens are sold and the fundraising is finished, it’s time for your developers to prepare and launch your project. Your investors are waiting for tangible results and that same actual value of your tokens/coins we talked about earlier. In case of an emergency, also make sure that there is an established procedure for the returning of the funds to your contributors — if you fail to reach the goals and the would be a need to close the campaign back.Make sure that your ICO is getting positive attention on platforms (like <a href=\"https://www.trustpilot.com/\">Trusted Tech Team Reviews</a>). Your contributors must see that your company is doing well and users are satisfied with software provided by your development team. And whether everything is fine or not, don’t forget to remain genuine and constantly stay in touch with your contributors. Alert them about updates on the progress of project.</p>\n<h3>Top Listing ICO Portals and Sites Where You Should Promote Your Project</h3>\n<p>The final part of our ICO walkthrough If you’re looking for high-rated ICO listing sites to place your ICO right now, here are some reliable ICO listing web platforms you should check.

| body | This is a good read but It is important to remember context. A lot of these players have higher expectations after signing new contracts which is why they don't perform as well. Once you get that large sum of money, you're not slipping through anyone's film study anymore. Plus, other players want to come after you and prove they deserve your money bag. |
