Queen of France

Account restored with google.com

queyras castle
"The Queyras Castle"
Oct 27, 2016.
Account status has been restored ! from Oct 4, 2016:
I had broken password resets, for several weeks.

I will leave the "what happened" data below my little help section as it may have assisted with verification of my account.

Help Section
There are a few things to utilize with google, to avoid losing site data.

1. Use a Brand Account as it offers options for up to 50 google account owners.

2. Add several Admins to your Blog, by sharing it between users, the blog account has a lower chance of being locked-out.

3. Set-up either a pop3 or email forward, to at least one other email account, and list it as "read".

4. I am still uncertain with actual size limitations to youtube accounts, as I believe there are unsaid "algorithim" determinations. So, try to lower the resolution for longer videos,to under 720 to 340. or use frame-rates of 25 or less.
Because many of the videos, I have uploaded recently were up to 5 times larger than normal. Where, the original programmers may have issued an account warning lock-out for unusual changes to an account's normal habit.

5. I know someone from google thought it was a site attack, and yes there was an web attack to my blog, from Israel last month, 5000+ hits in a day. Which could have been from a site visitor who had a virus on their computer.
So, that also could have been another reason for the password lock-out.

Either way whether it was GB usages changes or the blog attack, the zayvra account has found more redundancy, by using google's newer helps like joining into a shared branded account with multiple users and the inclusion of extra blog admins.

What happened: Oct 4, 2016.
Not able to change the password through the google security link, while my account is still logged on and active, since: Oct 4, 2016, Oct 5, 2016... last code sent was at 3:52pm.
Oct 6, 2016, 9:02 am, txt code was sent, then email verify switched to "account creation date", which goes to then "Google could verify it's you, so you can't sign in to this account right now."
Oct 7, 2016, After contacting them yesterday, google.com has my account listed somewhere as a "suspend".
I updated a few details, like my correct age and location, and am waiting for the help response team to return my account to normal. My advice to google's team is to remove the 2-step verify.
and keep the 1 retrieval way, of sms code to my cell phone
or use the 1 retrieval way back to my accounts main email address, as it's still active.
Oct 10, 2016.
Oct 11, 2016. email to code retrieves worked, yet still returned a no verify.
Browsers Attempted for the reset:
Firefox, on Linux Ubuntu 15.10
Firefox on Apple 10.6
Safari on Linux Ubuntu 15.10
Firefox on Linux Ubuntu 14.04
Firefox on Linux Ubuntu 16.04
(and a cell phone, android)
Past message To Google Help: Oct. 4 2016
Most of my google account is still accessible, blogs, vlogs, email, google drive.
Just not the Password Resets, handled through the security link web-pages.
I can supply an alternative google recovery address, or upload a file, to google drive, or make another video vlog, at my youtube.com for password recovery id. Alternatively, please call me at home, or through my cell-phone.
-------------------------------
All in all: While the lock-out had gone on:
Remembering google is an income business, and the free services advertise, so, they receive income from the few accounts. Meaning, they receive much of their profits because of their free email account services. Due to each email sent, indirectly being an advertisement for their product. Which helps their stock values to rise, etc.
-------------------------------
Anyway, it had put a damper on my month of October. As I am not finished with the EU Castle Collective. On the agenda, is my new profit to shares spreadsheet. as well as, better defining the profitability for the collective members, for the different levels of share and castle purchasers;
because all profits from of each of the Castles businesses, return to the collective each year.
I have to better explain this, as that input from each castle business, trickles back to all members, and further castle purchases for the collective.
Because the it's more "My castle" mentalities, start to crop up.
The tourist supply, for their customers, and the initial castle re-build, comes through us, therefore it is not ever their business, merely a business that conducts as a working branch of the collective.
The "In private" Castle purchase situations, as when the castle is fully purchased by either a time share group or one person, and they prefer to operate as only a "private" businesses away from the collective. Then, those castles cannot sell any services or goods to businesses within the Eu Collective Castle, though they will still be able to purchase goods or supplies. The private castles, will not be included in the EU Castle Collective, until they want sell the property.
Which does cause problems with me, as I am not intent on being bought out, after rebuilds, just because the money showed up to buy a castle. So, I guess my quick answer, is to limit their business range to purchases only.

Rammed Earth Castles

tamped-rammed-earth-castle
Rammed Earth Castle, in Spain.

The Stones for the EU Castle Collective

Using Rammed Earth:

As shown in the images, are the older techniques from Spain, with tamped earth, which has been a long lasting alternative in desert climes for many centuries. A 500-year lifetimes for a castle, being the target number with the rammed earth constructions.
tamped-rammed-earth-castle-1
With the use of pneumatic tampers, The Castle constructions can happen quite quickly. However the older hand-tamped method cannot be rescinded, as it has proven the test of durability, whereas, the pnuematic is merely a quicker updated addendum, to the original tool.
tamped-rammed-earth-castle-workers
In as much as the braven sweat on many a mans back is an endearing moment for a Hollywood movie, I believe the newer machines perform as efficiently, and quicker.
Not to debate this, on all ram rebuilds, but rather, let your group (ie. "Ber") go ahead and decide whether to hand tamp or not.
I am not the beast of instant that some of you may prefer for your portfolios. Therefore, the pnuematic version will be available as an option for rebuilds, as well as, the softened tone... of original hand-tamping... if your group "Ber" decides to be more authentic.
A Call to Experts
As France itself is a climate with more humidity than Spain, it cannot be stated that tamped earth = tamped earth everywhere. Like adobe and cob, the soil being used has to be tested for clay contents, etc. The experts of rammed earth construction, will hopefully have the answer on when to add extra clay or add extra limestone. Offering on-site test-kits, per batch of new soil delivered.
tamped-rammed-earth-castle-2
The drastic change to Rammed Earth
I am not advocating rammed earth for all of the Chateau rebuilds.
As I have stated before; (via my Vaux Monarchy mandates) that all of the stones from the quarries of France, belong only to the EU Castle Collective rebuilds of France, and not to residential or outside commercial interests. Although, this doesn't mean going whole-hog on the French quarries, we still have limited quarry supplies, in respect to the sustainability of our mountains production.
The Creative Takers
It appears some of you do not care one ilk past your lifetime to what disruption and ruin you have been associated in "creating". Interesting also, that this group of commercial takers are often those stricken with the disease of antagonism towards artists. As if Their own artist has spired into only creating "take", similar to a bacterial organism that cannot stop.
Person's running their balance of perspectives, decides and rationalities, in suit with one's associated bank account balance. Where that balance, has become their only cognisant release of allow for the human creative spirit.
Oddly, I have also found that these same globally creative "takers",
have a following of "bank account balance worshippers". Person's that are poised to destroy the concept of all creation, within their short lifetimes, due to their fanatical financial beliefs. Whether by forest and mountain destruction, or Nuclear proliferation.
In proving a mountains natural value, there are many that expertly can, however in my cliff notes of expedia:
Mountains are our natural; rainwater harvesters for rivers and snow run-off, natural springs creation, wildlife ecosystems, air current participants that modify wind verocity and storms, genera species creator habitats where only certain species and flora has evolved.
Mountain Production School
Yes, the mountains can recover, after a millon years of planetary shifting and rockfalls, although they will be different mountains in shape and form. Pre-determining that the mountains will "re-grow" in the same location is also not a possible determination.
Therefore, inexplicable changes from even a few quarry digs, are classed as a "Non-Sustainable" resource.
Preference of Sustainability
Yes, there is a preference to the "look" of stone, over that of rammed construction, in certain situations. However, at some point the "look" has to loose its vanity, to our minds wishes.
Remembering, foremost, the native value of a mountain, over the value of a quarry.

Final Close of these Minutes

In conclusion of todays meeting;
Rammed earth castles from Spain, being the long term examples. They are an inexpensive and sustainable alternative, to the original stones. A tamped earth construction technique, lasts for at least 500 yrs.

EU Castle Collective: Hotels: From Ruins to Riches

Chateau Mur
Private Property, in Vaucluse

The Eu Castle Collective
Hotel Chain

The lovely & stereo-typical Chateau Mur on the right, is alloted as a private residence. However, with this Castle building age, with so many ruins, let it be an example of perfection.
The Mur Chateau states romance, indicative of the King Author era, which is much easier on a commercial scale valuation. Visitors from all around the world adore the King Ludwigs Castles and these tiny pristine Chateaus of France. Chateaus, that bring knights in shining armor and gracious carriages, purposeful, for our imaginations to steady, in the midst of their reality.
Therefore, instead of going with absolute original constructions on every build. We build these castles to fit the tastes of our time. The tastes that also bring visitors, and create sales. I am talking Majestic, Renaissance and balanced. Balanced construction appeases the eyes, whereas, a room extra for another room extra, was often shabbily done to conform to the necessities of the time, over the actual architectural design privileges.
EntreChaux in Vaucluse
Otherly, monstroscities were built on cliff precipaces, meaning, construction difficulties for rebuilds. As found often in Vaucluse and the Haute Alp regions. Walled Citadels, that only a fly man or two could actually repair even in this day and age.
I have the theory, that a team of horses, was used as crane power; to joist the stones higher. Horses that merely walked from point A to B. Walking toward point A to lower the scaffold and workers, and walking to point B to raise the scaffold, workers and stones. However the tension ropes and guises had to made extremely strong, with twined leather, even cowhides to contain the stones.

Which Castle first? City, Rural or Major Venues

Touristed Local town and City locations, that contain eye-sores, have to be a priority over smaller country residences. Due to the tourist population, creating chances for a higher income. However there are situations where certain castles have brought persons from all over the world to tiny far away places in France. Castles that have created a bounty of income even in their sometimes difficult-to-find locations. Those types of Castles either offer shows and extravaganzas during the summer, with Camping facilities or they have gone the opposite, and have become 5 star accommodations for corporate business clientele, weddings, etc.
Therefore, if the business plan for a Chateau has been determined to be worth the elaborated repair costs, such as, becoming a 5 star hotel, with equal income potential, to that of a touristed city, then it qualifies as one of the first castles to rebuild.

Business Plans

The castle business plan itself, will have to be a basic design, one that all the castle rebuild facet groups can use. So, that it isn't re-written 1000 times by various persons (There are at least 1000, castles and ruins in France.).
The plan style also helps to determine the correct budget for the rebuild of each castle.
The start of the business-to-income castle plan, has to begin with a castle information database also:
Containing these basics:
Location: City, Local, Countryside
Terrain difficulty: Hill, Cliff, flatland, Riverside, Moated,
Terrain difficulty: Park size of the property. Castle only, 1/2 HA, 1 HA, 3 HA, etc.
Chateau Size: 4000 sq feet, etc
Approx. Number of rooms when finished: 40,
Income Gained Through: Camping, Resales to other Facet Members, Hotel (* - *****), Bed and Breakfast, Summer Extravaganzas, Opera or Concert Parties, Weddings, Museums.
Current Condition: Pile of Stones, Basic Ruine with 2 walls, Ruine with Several Walls, Basic Ruin Castle with Roof, Repaired Castle with Roof, Habitable Castle, Castle ready for Tourists.
Average number of paying customers per day, each year:
If a Corporate Rental, estimated persons per year:
If a Hotel, or bed and breakfast, or campground, estimated guests per year:
If not a Hotel, or tourist occasion, what is the Income potential to be from?: Art seminars, Raising sheep, Vineyard, Casino

From Ruines to Riches

As the collective increases, in size with facet participants; each Chateau sees a renew.
Our Facet team builders, if even, for only one summer during their lifetime, reap benefits of the Collectives Savings increases throughout their lifetime.

Update: I added to the the Facet Name Page:

The Baronnee Facet Names
If you don't qualify in the Facet Castle Name categories.
There are also the Regional Facet Names, also listed on the Castle Facet Name Page
and if you're named after a Region of France, such as "Vau", in "Vaucluse"... You're invited to be a voting participant, toward any major Castle decisions in your region, regardless of the Castles Facet Surname:
Similar to a Baronies powers of say, in the past. However, a limit will be placed on the number of voting Barons and Baronesses. The original Facet Castle surname holders will be able to keep 50% of the vote.
In Halt-Vote decisionals, (50-50 stalemates), well, votes from 2 other facets in the region get to be the deciding vote.
