It's been a hot-second since an MLS superstar was highly linked with a move to a major European club
The summer saw New York Red Bulls and USA prodigy Tyler Adams tipped to join RB Leipzig, while Vancouver Whitecaps sensation Alphonso Davies secured a £9 million move to German giants Bayern Munich, a record transfer fee for an MLS player
Now heading into the off-season and with half the teams in MLS preparing for the Playoffs, teams in Europe are already looking to pluck the best from this blossoming league come the January transfer window, and the one player on everyone's lips is Miguel Almiron
You've seen the name, and you more than likely have seen his FIFA card on Ultimate Team, but who exactly is Almiron and why are some of Europe's biggest clubs after the Atlanta United #10? A product of the Cerro Porteno academy in his homeland of Paraguay, Almiron made his name on the international stage when he moved to Argentinean club Lanus at the age of 21 in 2015 where he guided the Primera Division side to both the league title, in which he scored in the final, and the Copa Bicentenario in his second season at the club
It was then in late 2016 when Almiron caught the eye of both Atlanta United and newly appointed manager Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, who not only managed Cerro Porteno and won the title with them but also managed Paraguay during their best ever run in a World Cup in 2010, reaching the quarter-finals
So when Almiron got the call to join Tata in Atlanta and become the club's first DP signing, of course he said yes
When Atlanta United kicked off in 2016 nobody expected how well they would take to MLS, and at the centre of their great start to league football was Almiron
Almiron, as well as his South American teammate Josef Martinez, lit up the American soccer scene with their slick and stylish football that was not only incredibly fun to watch and resulted in extremely high-scoring games, but also created a sports culture in the city of Atlanta that nobody expected to form
Almiron had a massive part to play in making the Five Stripes THE team everybody in the city got behind, with attendances at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium now averaging around 60,000 fans
In his first season at the club, Almiron earned a call-up to the MLS All-Star game against Real Madrid, playing 45 minutes, and was named in the MLS Best XI
The Paraguayan also clinched MLS Newcomer of the Year as well as Paraguay's Player of the Year award, just for good measure
Despite losing in the first round of the Playoffs to Columbus Crew, Atlanta had cemented themselves as a respected franchise, with Almiron, of course, seen as the shining example of this new breed of MLS teams

This Is The Star Wars We Almost Saw - Duration: 6:43.
In 2013, Dark Horse Comics released an illustrated version of George Lucas' original 1974 script
for a space opera called The Star Wars.
The comic books gave series fans a glimpse of how Lucas' original vision evolved into
what we saw on the screen.
Some of the differences are staggering.
In The Star Wars, Luke Skywalker is introduced not as an idealistic young farm boy from Tatooine,
but rather as a grizzled 60-year-old general on the planet Aquilae, one of the few planets
not taken over by the Empire.
He's a Jedi-Bendu, a member of a group of warriors who were once the sworn defenders
of the Emperor.
The group has since defected. and its members are being hunted by the Sith.
Very few Jedi are left, and their numbers are dwindling, just like they are in A New
Hope.
The roles of our heroes shift around a bit in this first draft, which introduces another
Jedi-Bendu by the name of Kane Starkiller.
Kane lives on a desolate moon with his two sons, Deak and Annikin.
While he was born a human, he's mostly cyborg by the time we meet him, left with nothing
but his original head and arm after a life of brutal combat.
After young Deak is killed by a surprise Sith attack, Kane and Annikin flee to Aquilae so
that the brash young Annikin can complete his Jedi-Bendu training with Luke.
Shades of Anakin Skywalker's attitude from Attack of the Clones are apparent here, but
instead of the Jedi braid, Annikin sports a combination of a mullet and a man bun.
It's not any cooler, it's just different.
The villain known as Darth Vader is still imposing in The Star Wars, but he's a lot
better-looking.
While he bears some the scars of the Vader we know, he has one robotic, red eye and a
full head of hair.
In this version, he's a tactical commander of the Empire.
He has no special powers: he's neither Jedi nor Sith.
While he expresses some respect for Dark Side users of the Force, his feelings quickly diminish
when they fail to get him instant results.
This Vader occasionally wears the trademark helmet, but only the top part.
He doesn't need the rest of his suit, after all: this interpretation comes from before
Vader was known to have a burnt-up backstory.
But helmet or no helmet, he still looks like he probably sounds like James Earl Jones.
Princess Leia doesn't play the heroic role here that she assumes in A New Hope.
Instead, she's a college student who needs to be rescued after war breaks out on Aquilae.
Instead of A New Hope's Luke Skywalker, who's a nice, sweet boy, she's retrieved by Annikin
Starkiller, an unlikable jerk who punches her in the face when he needs her to cooperate.
Despite these harsh beginnings, the two eventually fall in love for reasons not even the script
can explain.
When Leia's father is killed, she becomes the queen of Aquilae. and the Empire zeroes
in on her as a target.
Turns out, her planet possesses valuable cloning technology.
To get control of the planet and its lucrative tech, the Empire sets out to capture her and
her siblings.
Like a lot of material from this early script, the name "Valorum" eventually showed up in
the movies, just in a different way.
In The Star Wars, Prince Valorum is a powerful Sith who's called in by the Empire for his
Jedi-hunting expertise.
He's hired to capture the heroes, and though he never quite succeeds, his mask makes him
look pretty badass even when he's failing.
The Darth Vader we got in A New Hope is basically a combination of The Star Wars' Vader and
Valorum.
Originally, neither of those guys were that effective as a villain.
Mix the the two together, though, and the result is iconic.
The R2-D2 we know only speaks in beeps and bloops, but in The Star Wars, he speaks in
full sentences, all while still looking like a walking, talking trash can.
Unlike his Astromech droid friend, C-3PO didn't change much from his first appearances in
The Star Wars.
In a way, that frustrating, snooty protocol droid is one of this sprawling franchise's
biggest constants, and for that, we salute him.
"I do believe they think I am some sort of god."
One of the most dramatic changes from The Star Wars to Star Wars proper is the appearance
of Han Solo's character.
While his original version was still a morally ambiguous scoundrel, he was also an enormous,
green, gilled creature, as opposed to a dashing young Harrison Ford.
An extra complication is that his particular species was originally known for killing Wookiees,
not befriending them, making his eventual partnership with Chewbacca all but impossible
in these early drafts.
Even under his scaly skin, though, Solo seems like pretty much the same guy.
In The Star Wars, Wookiees basically serve the same purpose that the Ewoks do in Return
of the Jedi.
They're still 8-foot-tall killing machines, but they're also very superstitious, like
the Ewoks.
They also live in a society that looks a lot like the Ewoks' village.
In the original story, Annikin Starkiller beats the Wookiee chief in combat and is subsequently
worshipped, a development that's ultimately played for laughs in the movies by C-3PO instead.
It's not too far off from the Wookiee society we eventually learn about in Revenge of the
Sith, and, of course, the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Maybe it would've been cooler if Return of the Jedi took place on Chewbacca's turf, following
an army of Wookiees instead of an Ewok insurrection.
By the end of the script for The Star Wars, Sith Prince Valorum and Jedi-Bendu Annikin
Starkiller actually team up to deal a blow to the Empire, after Valorum decides Vader
is too disloyal to work with.
Interestingly, Valorum has a lot of criticism for Annikin over his love for Princess Leia.
According to Valorum, emotions are a peculiar weakness of the Jedi-Bendu, with such raw
feelings supposedly being unbecoming of a Sith.
As the prequels eventually established, it's supposed to be the Jedi who advocate shunning
one's emotions, while the Sith embrace their feelings to become more powerful.
Ultimately, after the Jedi teach the Wookiees how to fly spaceships, the Death Star fortress
is destroyed, taking Vader with it.
Aquilae is saved, along with Princess Leia and her royal family.
Annikin Starkiller is given the job of being the chief protector of the planet, and the
rest of the galaxy is at peace, with the Star Wars in a cease-fire, at least for now.
Overall, The Star Wars makes for a decent, familiar story which is nonetheless too complicated.
For better and for worse, many of the ideas in Lucas' original script were saved and dispersed
throughout the Star Wars we know today.
Can you really imagine this guy as a Wookiee-eating, scruffy-looking swamp monster?
"Who's scruffy-looking?"

Is it Effective to take E-Plexx if You are Postmenopausal | "Ask the Doc" with Dr. Daniel Nuzum - Duration: 3:20.
Jonathan Hunsaker: Welcome, everyone.
In today's episode of Ask the Doc, we're talking about E-Plexx,
which is our hormone balancer for women, and its effects if you're postmenopausal.
So, stay tuned for the answer.
Welcome, everyone. Jonathan Hunsaker here with Organixx,
and I'm joined by my good friend, master formulator, Dr. Daniel Nuzum.
Thanks for joining me.
Dr. Nuzum: Thank you, sir. Glad to be here.
Jonathan Hunsaker: Absolutely.
In today's episode, we have a question from you at home that says,
"Is it effective to take E-Plexx," which is Organixx's hormone balancer for women,
"if you're post-menopausal?" So, is it okay to take E-Plexx if you're post-menopausal?
Dr. Nuzum: Most definitely.
In menopause, a woman's estrogen/progesterone levels start to drop,
and this is what brings the pause on.
What happens at that point is that the adrenal glands and the thyroid have to kind of
pick up the slack and enable that system to adapt to this new stage in life.
And if the thyroid and adrenals aren't up to the task, everything just slows down, okay?
And that's where a lot of the symptoms come in.
Women suffer from a lot of these things.
E-Plexx, this hormone balancer that we have, this herbal hormone balancer,
is designed as an adaptogen.
An adaptogen enables the body to adapt.
In this process, that's what helps women with that transition from going into menopause,
so that minimizes the impact.
So, it enables them to adapt through that process and metabolize things better.
So, it kind of bolsters those adrenal glands, bolsters up those thyroids so they can carry
the load as the other things start to slow down.
Jonathan Hunsaker: Great answer.
I appreciate you sharing that.
Let me ask you, is there more that a woman can do if she's post-menopausal
in addition to taking E-Plexx, or even another hormone balancer?
Dr. Nuzum: Absolutely.
Of course, I mean this works very, very well with bioidentical hormones.
That was originally what I designed it for is women that were taking bioidentical hormones,
they were taking all these hormones, but because they were in this flux,
their metabolism couldn't handle those hormones.
So, they were on all these expensive bioidentical hormones,
and they weren't metabolizing them very well.
So, we created this adaptogen complex to give them that helped their body
metabolize those hormones properly.
And so, it works very, very well together, very well together.
Jonathan Hunsaker: Wonderful.

Why is it profitable to open a company in Poland? The advantage of doing business in EU. 18+ - Duration: 2:21.
Why you need to open a Polish company to do business in the European Union?
As a non-EU citizen, have you been asked by Amazon Europe to pay large amount of tax for
your ecommerce business in the European Union?
I believe most of you have had such experience recently.
Don't panic, if you open a Polish company, and do the right tax planning, potential problem
like this can be avoided and what's more, your business profits will grow bigger.
First, having a Polish company means you own an EU business, and your company benefits
from both Poland and EU policies.
Even though you are a foreign investor, your business is a Polish business, you share the
benefits of EU companies.
Second, it has a huge selling market, not only among the 38 million domestic market,
but all EU nations that are regulated by the same European economic commission.
In other words, you will be dealing with one significant European Market.
Third, Polish government supports foreign investors doing business in Poland, it has
introduced quite a few reforms to lower taxes for international investors.
Fourth, cost of business operation is rather low compared to other EU countries.
What's more, Poland's currency is zloty, which makes it very attractive for investors
compared to doing business among euro zone.
Labor cost is also low, yet the quality is very high.
Last but not least, if you conduct business activities in Poland and follow the laws here,
you can receive residence permits with your family members to stay in Poland, and receive
Polish citizenship someday in the near future.
That's all for today.
if you want to know more about opening a Polish company, or business immigration to Poland,
call or email us for more details from down below.
See you next time.
