This is a shout out to all those Serpent Priestesses out there, for it is time to awaken from your slumber. The time is now! You have been waiting for this time for thousands of years, waiting for the time when you would awaken, activate the serpent within and take this planet into a new paradigm. You have within you certain codes within the DNA which have lay dormant for eons of time, even before man first walked the earth. These codes in your DNA were instructed to wait sleeping until a moment in time when they would activate and trigger your awakening as a Serpent Priestess. As the planetary vibration is increasing these codes are coming on line.
You are no ordinary person, no ordinary soul, you have come to the earth and incarnated within its system to be here now at this important time. You are here on a mission, a mission which you have been in training for, for a whole of your existence. You have been called here to the earth by the sentient consciousness known to us as Gaia. She requested volunteers from many different dimensional levels, many different places in the galaxy and various different souls. She is currently imprisoned, as is all of humanity, within an electromagnetic barrier which was set around her planetary body during the fall of Atlantis. This barrier was set in place by the Annunaki. The Annunaki are a mixed race of beings with many levels of hierarchy within its system. They originally were a mixture of Kanis Canine humanoids from the Sirian system and the Draco reptilians from Orion. Through their interbreeding they created the forefathers of the Annunaki race. I do not intend to go too much into the history or information about the Annunaki, let's just say they were a formidable and ruthless force.
The Annunaki set the electromagnetic barrier around the earth preventing those souls currently residing on the earth from being able to leave upon death. Previous to the barrier being set in place, the souls who were incarnate upon the earth had a pure connection with the Creator of this universe, the Universal Dreamer and the planet itself Gaia. They could travel the dimensional universe unhindered. After the barrier was set in place when a person died upon the earth instead of being free to travel the dimensions and universe with the power of intention and freewill, they were trapped within the barrier and remained in the astral planes of earth. The Annunaki set up a technology on the dark side of the moon which is still there today; this technology is called Soul Catcher. It is machine made up mostly of crystals laid in certain geometric grids which enable this machine to work. When a person dies on the earth they are captured by the energy beam of this machine and are then housed in astral prisons. The prisons are created by the dream abilities of the captured soul, the Annunaki have no ability to uniquely create themselves, so they instead mind control the recently deceased. The mind control makes the deceased create an illusionary world on the astral plane which they then live in until someone comes to their rescue. The prisons are different depending on the person, some people experience meeting loved ones in what they think is heaven, others experience the prisons as places of torture. It all depends on what energy the Annunaki wish the deceased to create for them to feed off.
They are energy vampires as are many within the Orion Empire, many of them have messed about with their own genetics, through modification and cloning that they no longer have the ability to create and therefore cannot self-regulate their own energy and life. Therefore they have to feed off other beings that do have this ability to carry on existing. The royal families of the Annunaki used many life extending technologies to extend their lives with dire consequences. Many of the higher ranks of the Annunaki ingested mono atomic gold to extend their lives. Mono atomic gold is being sold now on the internet as a short cut to spiritual development. It is a dangerous indeed. The mono atomic gold expands the spiritual body layer of the auric field; this enables the person to ascend to the fifth dimension. They become telepathic and able to have powers of mind control over another. It all sounds ok so far; however this ingestion of mono atomic gold powder is not all it seems. Because the person ingesting the gold has not ascended to the fifth dimension through natural means it does not have the ability to continue its dimension journey and instead gets stuck in the fifth dimension. All beings need food to survive, on earth we eat plants and some people eat meat, on the fifth dimension the food for beings on this level is light. Those beings that live on the fifth dimension and have found themselves there naturally feed off the light of the source, the Universal Dreamer, however those beings that artificially ascended cannot and therefore have to feed off someone else's light.
The Annunaki have shape shifting abilities so can appear to us on earth in any form they so wish. They can show themselves as the Ascended Masters, the Galactic Federation of light, many of the spiritual teachers we have been taught to worship are simply Annunaki in disguise. The Annunaki channel through those on earth who do not have a connection to their intuition, their inner female self, Gaia or the Divine Serpent within. Because they are disconnected they do not have the power of intuition or have the ability to discern who it is they are communicating with. They are then easily fooled, once they set up this channel connection with the Annunaki in the disguise of Ascended Masters, they have the ability to not only take the energy of the channel and manipulate them with lies, they can also send out tendrils of energy to plug into all those who follow such channelling whether they are physically with the channel or not. Through this dynamic the Annunaki can feed off their light, mind control them and keep them imprisoned in consciousness.
They are stuck on the fifth dimension and cannot go on further up the dimensional ladder; their only hope is to be able to move down into the lower dimensions. Many of the Annunaki are reincarnate here upon the earth in this time; you may know a few in your life. They those who are only rational minded, they have no intuition or creativity. They are easily mind controlled by the media and propaganda because they do not have their intuitive facilities intact. They are usually very arrogant in their thinking and think their way of looking at the world is the only true way, they believe the main stream lies about science, history and consciousness. Most of them do not believe in a god or gods, or life after death and are instead locked in a reductionist mind set. They have no ability to talk with their inner selves or soul they are lost but they do not know it ,as the system we currently live in was set up by the Annunaki in the first place and they are at home in such a system. Even though the incarnate Annunaki are limited in their consciousness at least they are trying to make amends for their past mistakes, however not all of the Annunaki are so humble as to surrender to Gaia upon death which is inevitable here. They are arrogant beyond understanding and see Gaia, the earth, being in a body on the third dimension as beneath them. They curse the earth and her processes and therefore do not wish to incarnate and heal. Instead they remain on the fifth dimension trapped, feeding off the light of those foolish light workers who cannot see who exactly it is they are dealing with.
Gaia put out a request for volunteers to come here incarnate into the system and change it from within, many of you volunteered. You came from many different dimensions, levels, realities and worlds, to be here now. You heard the call! Many of you are star seeds, indigo children, angelic walk-ins etc., etc., there are so many labels not all can be included here. You are waking up and taking up your missions to assist Gaia in her transformation. There are many teams of light workers here at this time; however there is one special group who I wish to address here today. These are the Serpent Priestesses. Serpent Priestess you are special indeed, you have the ability to change this world through the activation of your inner sacred serpent energy, some call this the Kundalini and in part this is true however there is much more to this awakening than simply activating the Kundalini. You as this Priestess have been in training to not only awaken and activate the kundalini but to harness this energy to spiral your energy field. This spiralling of the energy field through the kundalini activation will affect the energetic field around you, this will affect all within your field. The energy spiral which will come from your energy body will touch the energy bodies of other people who walk through your energy field. It will cause them to go deeper into their healing processes, we are all damaged to one degree or another, everyone has immense healing to go through before we can change this world. Your spiralling energy will catapult this process, and awaken others to their true nature.
You have been in training for this in other lives both here on the earth and in other places in the universe, some of you are part of the Ni Sirian Order ( you can read more about them in my book " The Navigators of the AbZu –part one", available for free on my website . www.alloya.com/books ) During your training which sometimes spanned hundreds of years and many incarnations into systems of the earth and within the Sirian system, you learnt how to activate the kundalini, dance the spiral energetic dance and take low density realities to higher expressions. This training you may have forgotten however it is recorded in your DNA, blood and bones. Held within your DNA codes are the instructions on how to do your mission of changing the paradigm on earth. Your time has come, previous to this time you slept unaware of your origins in the stars and your status as a Serpent Priestess. Now you are to awaken and take up your mission.
We think of Gaia as a woman and in many ways she is, she has many names and many faces as this being, she also has animal forms and serpentine aspects. Gaia in her serpent form lies resting in the centre of the planet , waiting for a time when there are enough Serpent Priestesses awake so she can then rise through the rock and move into their bodies. She wishes to teach them all the secrets of the earth, some of you will come to know her true history, some will learn about humans and the animal kingdom consciousness, some of you will heal, inspire and transform others through your practices, some will talk to the plants and learn their secrets. Each one of your is unique in your practice however all of you will be taking your instruction from the serpentine form of Gaia.
It is time to meditate with her and her alone, it is time to put away your desire to go home to the stars, and really be here. It is time to get grounded, to earth yourself to the organic matrix which lies under the control grid of the Annunaki. Go outside with bare feet as much as you can, it is important that you open the feet chakras. Many of you have blocks in the feet which have been placed there by the Annunaki, (hoping to hinder your progress), it is time now to remove these blocks and really feel the earth beneath your feet. Once you have opened the feet chakras then you will be open to allow the serpentine energy of Gaia which rests in the centre of the planet to rise up into your body. The feet and the legs are places which hold ancestral memory, not only the memories of your direct genetic lineage but also all the memories of all the lineages you have ever been incarnate with. As you work on the feet and legs you will encounter blocks to your free flow of energy. These blocks are memories of past lives which are still holding you back now and preventing you moving forward. It is time to get out the tools you have to address karma, past lives and ancestral memories and clear them from your body. Once this is complete then the serpent Gaia can rise up, kiss the Kundalini which lies sleeping at the base of your spine and take you through a full activation.
Once this comes it is important that you do not allow the Kundalini to rush up the spine, often crashing through the chakric system blowing many fuses. It is important that you ride the serpent. You must get physical with this, it is no good sitting in a lotus positon contemplating your navel, it is time to get into movement. Dance is the most creative way to work with this energy, spiralling of the hips (especially in belly dance) will allow you to ride this serpent force. You must tame the serpent, and not allow it to take over and blow your circuits. Once you have fully connected to the Serpent Gaia and she has begun her journey of moving up your body and activating your kundalini you will be guided and instructed on how to work with this energy. You may be fortunate to hear words of instruction, however this is rare. Instead what is likely to happen is you will intuitively know and feel what you are to do with this energy.
Once you have taken the energy from the base to the crown which could take months, be patient you will be a fully-fledged Serpent Priestess and will be able to ride and dance your serpent awake. Once this occurs you will find yourself moving into a trance like bliss state which will empower and increase the serpent energy even more. Once you have reached this point you will find other people noticing something different about you, they may want to spend more time with you if they are open to the energy and wish to heal. Others will find you a threat, especially to those incarnated Annunaki. Do not worry if people suddenly become scared of you or judge you. Often people will accuse you of working with demonic energies when you ride your serpent. The reason for this is twofold. One reason is because your energy is demanding that they look at their issues and begin their healing, and this is uncomfortable for them, the other is they have been mind controlled to despise the serpent energy. Be patient with those who fear you but do not dampen down your energy to compromise yourself for them, it is important that you stay in your truth.
Good Luck!

Whenever Apple introduces new products, enterprising third-party hardware-makers dream up new ways to accessorize and augment them. With Apple's minimalist MacBook line, there are dongles and plug-in accessories to restore functionality lost by their lack of ports. For the iPhone, there are cases, chargers, and stands designed to protect and showcase your device, as well as plug-in accessories like microphones or card-readers that improve its capabilities. For the Apple Watch, there are stands and a range of third-party straps available. AirPods, Apple's wireless speaker-computers that it debuted in 2016, are no exception—except for their inherent awkwardness. Some likened their appearance to a tampon without a string, while others mocked how easily they could get lost. While many AirPods accessories are well-designed and offer needed utility, there is still something that's just a little off in most cases.
The latest AirPods accessory to gain notice is a perfect example: It's a wrist-strap holster for storing your AirPods, which can be worn alone or paired with an Apple Watch strap. AirPods are small and relatively easy to misplace (so much so that Apple added a "Find My AirPods" function in iOS 10.3). They're also a product you tend to use on-the-go. This wrist strap makes it so that you don't need to dig through a purse or bag to find them and allows a simple way to carry them if you don't want to also carry their charging case. However, it looks ridiculous—or as the Verge put it, "goofy as heck." Elago, the company behind the product, makes a variety of other electronics accessories, including good-looking iPhone cases and charging hubs, but even with a fine leather patina, a pair of white AirPods strapped to a wrist is ungainly. This product was doomed to awkwardness from the beginning.
Other AirPods accessories land similarly. There are a number of cases that secure your AirPods to a keychain. These come in varieties such as brown leather, red silicon, and even a black zippered pouch. This is a logical way to keep your AirPods close by and securely stored, but there's still something inherently unsophisticated about it. An adult's keychain is for keys, and maybe a Tile or some pepper spray; it's not a replacement for a pocket or tote bag.
Perhaps the best-looking and least awkward AirPods accessories are straps and over-ear adapters that give the device a more snug, secure fit. Unlike in-ear headphones, which offer different-size tips to ensure a proper fit regardless of your ear size, AirPods are one-size-fits-all; for some, that fit is too big, too small, or just uncomfortable. A strap like Spigen's barebones TEKA AirPods strap offers peace of mind against an AirPod popping out and getting lost mid-run, while EarBuddyz wraps Apple's buds in white or black silicon for a more snug fit. Still, while they offer the benefits of an over-ear style, products like PodGrips still land in the uncanny valley of AirPods accessories.
None of these ideas are bad. In fact, most of them offer significant utility and address specific pain points, such as preventing the devices from being lost, keeping them conveniently close by, or better securing them during outdoor or physical activities. However, these products still have the distinct feeling of a 21st-century pocket protector: While useful, you may as well have a sign that says "NERD" plastered to your forehead. Perhaps it's all a matter of perspective—the idea of toting around a smartphone in a case 24/7 took some years to catch on, and in the world of consumer electronics AirPods (and wireless earbuds in general) are a relatively new category. While at first they seemed only worn by the Google Glass crowd, they're becoming more mainstream. It could be that the only reason these products seem "off" is because they're a sight we're not yet used to seeing. Perhaps in a year or two the idea of strapping a pair of tampons without a string to a wrist, keychain, or necklace won't seem so absurd. But now is not that time.

Deciding whether or not to accept job offers could be challenging for college students and recent graduates. When considering a position, there are certain factors that might lead students and grads to turn it down. Here are 10 good reasons to reject job offers.
1. Job seekers should reject job offers if they don't line-up with their competencies, interests, and values. College students and recent graduates should ask themselves whether they're good at what they'll be expected to do if hired, if the work will excite them, and if the work is consistent with their morals. If not, pass on the offer. A job needs to be more than a paycheck.
2. The job doesn't offer career advancement. Can employees grow within the company? If job offers do not mention anything about advancement, workers will be stuck in a job without the chance for a potential career.
3. Opportunities are sacrificed. Depending on the job, college students and recent graduates may or may not meet a people who have the right contacts. Without networking opportunities, they might miss out on their dream jobs.
4. Reputation is damaged professionally. There is no shame in working somewhere to make ends meet, even if it's not the job you want. However, a bad work experience can damage one's reputation with recruiters and hiring managers. Students and grads should find jobs highlighting their skills en route to better career opportunities.
5. The job affects your spirit negatively. College students and graduates need to think about how they would feel in the job. If it does not satisfy them for whatever reason, they will be unhappy and won't perform well. This creates a negative spirit in people and in the workplace.
6. Hurts work/life balance. Work is important, but family is more important. If a new job will take too much time away from your loved ones, consider other options offering more flexibility for work/life balance.
7. Salary falls short. Students and grads should do their homework on how much money a job pays, and then compare the salary to the job offer. If the money isn't what they're quite hoping for and they believe they can get more, they shouldn't accept the offer.
8. Money overtakes dreams. In contrast to the previous reason, the pay can be so good and becomes a bigger priority than pursuing your dreams. If students and graduates are tempted by money more than their dreams, they may regret accepting a new job later in life and wonder what could have been.
9. The hiring process isn't structured. College students and recent grads should consider how they're treated during the hiring process. Anything that seems questionable is a red flag and is not worth their time.
10. Bad timing. Even when great job offers come along, sometimes the timing isn't right. While rejecting offers may seem crazy, don't beat yourself up. A better offer could be waiting down the road.

Students go off to college, but it's not the rosy life they see in the movies. There are bills to pay, tuition to afford, books to buy, and honestly, balancing finances at a young age is hard. Studying in college and concentrating on getting good grades is tough enough without throwing in a job into the mix. But the money has to flow in to either support the family or to support getting an education. Whatever the reason, here are a few tips to help college students juggle their working and studying lives.
1. Find a job with flexible hours: Let's face it; students are in college now. There will be coursework and assignments with tight deadlines, and studying should always be a priority. An education will serve as the building blocks for the future so students shouldn't push it in the backburner. They should find jobs where they can easily accommodate their studies, too, so neither one suffers. These jobs could be within the college campus, as those kinds of jobs understand the balance between work and study, and they can help college students manage their homework.
2. Manage time wisely: With so much on the line, it is wise to have a good time management schedule. College students should know where they spend their time. Many successful people plan nearly each moment of their day to get the most out of their 24 hours. Many times we end up wasting time and not realizing it when we could be putting it to good use. Use lunch breaks to catch up on math homework, or grab a few hours of work during a long lunch break in college. Those few hours can add up during the week. Students need to keep checking in to see if they're on track per their schedules to know they're not overcommitting themselves or falling short of their goals. If students know they function better in the mornings, they should get evening jobs so they can do coursework or assignments when they're fresh and vice versa.
3. Have family support: This goes without saying; without a support system, college students will find it very hard to adjust both lives alone. Students should inform their managers at work, friends, or family to support them in this decision, and help them both personally and professionally. This kind of support will help students infinitely when they feel the pressure is too much, or they need help with managing homework.
4. Know what they want: College students should choose jobs wisely if they can. Students should think about how what they do now could benefit them in the future. Remember, everything can be added to their portfolios. If working in a store, think of inventory – managing time and stock. All of this could and should be interpreted as work experience, and this could boost entry into the working world by gaining experience, references, professional growth, and of course, the money.
5. Be creative in getting homework done: By having a job, college students are effectively cutting down on their study hours. Students must be smart about juggling their time, and try listening to lectures while working. They should also keep their managers in the loop so they get that support system. This way, students can learn, revise, and perhaps even do homework during work hours, which don't require much brain activity like sorting mail, etc.
6. Take a mental break: It is important to have some time out from studies. Always having studies/ homework on the mind will stress students out, especially if they know they can't do it during work hours. Allow a study free zone while at work. Know there is nothing students can do about it, so they should give themselves permission to relax. Many times we block ourselves, and take on more stress over things we cannot control. Those moments students are not thinking about studies could benefit them in the long run. This way, they can approach their assignments with a fresh mind.
7. Stay focused on the end goal: The end goal should be graduating. Many times, once students start working, they find it hard to stay focused on education. It becomes easy to forget about studies and think about short term benefits, such as getting paid. This spending power lets many people forget about graduating. College students must find ways to motivate themselves. Keep pictures of graduates at their ceremonies or photos of people who managed to reach the pinnacle of their careers to have an aim and a goal to reach.
8. Research on future courses: Students should find courses relevant to them and their future interests. Don't choose a random course because friends are taking it, or because somebody else has a strong opinion about it. Students need to discover what they are passionate about and what they see themselves doing in the future. Doing some research on courses will help them achieve their future goals.
9. Be smart financially: Money can flow through college students' fingers like water if they're not careful. Keep track on spending and where the money has to be allocated. If there are bills to pay, keep that money aside, or pay off debts before doing anything else. This helps students become more financially independent. This not involves their weekly paycheck, but also their tuition. Most colleges have hefty fees so be sure to enroll in a program where there are future benefits. Don't get a job and go into debt due to careless spending, as this will cause a downward spiral.
10. Be passionate: Happiness can only come from within. College students should be passionate about the courses they will be taking; passion will get them through tough times. If students truly do something they love, they will excel in it. Be happy at the workplace. Find a job that is mentally stimulating or has a good work team. This makes a huge difference in students' mental health and happiness, and when they're young and balancing their work and study lives, this is very important.
The balance for managing studies and work can be a fine line, and one that should be carefully monitored so college students don't end up suffering by their decision to work. This has become a recent trend, as many young students have bills to pay, and this enables them to gain work experience while also getting homework help and inspiration from their coworkers or family.

It is unlikely that, when you were little and dreaming about your future, you dreamt of a job at a desk or in a cubicle. You probably dreamed of being a sports star, Hollywood A-lister, astronaut, fire fighter, stunt car driver, zookeeper, President—anything but something that would tie you to a desk or an office all day.
As we get older most of us resign ourselves to the idea of a desk-tied job. We discover that we want something steadier and less risky. We want the fattest paycheck possible and plan to save our excitement and happiness for the evenings, weekends and occasional vacation. What we fail to predict is just how satisfying some of those boring sounding jobs can be.
Here are some of the most satisfying (and stable!) careers you should pursue after college. (more…)
An individual is often judged by the job they hold. A person should work hard in order to maximize their potential and enjoyment in their career.
There are plenty of people who are working at a job they either do not like or do not think is the best fit for them. They may not be happy with the amount of money they make or the amount of power they hold in their job. There are two choices people in this situation have. They can choose to do nothing and complain about it for their rest of their lives, or they can choose to find ways to maximize their potential in the career choice they have made. The second choice might be more difficult, but it may be the wiser path. (more…)
Depending on the majors they choose, college students may have an easier or more difficult time finding entry level jobs. In the following post, take a look at the best and worst college majors for summer 2014.

Continued from here….
Every other Psalm is spoken and composed by the Spirit in the selfsame way:
just as in a mirror, the movements of our own souls are reflected in them and the words are indeed our very own, given us to serve both as a reminder of our changes of condition and as a pattern and model for the amendment of our lives.
This is the further kindness of the Saviour that, having become man for our sake, He not only offered His own body to death on our behalf, that He might redeem all from death, but also, desiring to display to us His own heavenly and perfect way of living, He expressed this in His very self.
It was as knowing how easily the devil might deceive us, that He gave us, for our peace of mind, the pledge of His own victory that He had won on our behalf. But He did not stop there: He went still further, and His own self performed the things He had enjoined on us.
Every man therefore may both hear Him speaking and at the same time see in His behaviour the pattern for his own, even as He himself has bidden, saying, Learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly of heart (Mt 11:29).
Nowhere is more perfect teaching of virtue to be found than in the Lord's own life. Forbearance, love of men, goodness, courage, mercy, righteousness, all are found in Him; and in the same way no virtue will be lacking to him who fully contemplates this human life of Christ.
It was as knowing this that Saint Paul said, Be ye imitators of me, even as I myself am of Christ (1 Cor 11:1). The Greek legislators had indeed a great command of language; but the Lord, the true Lord of all, Who cares for all His works, did not only lay down precepts but also gave Himself as model of how they should be carried out, for all who would to know and imitate.
And therefore, before He came among us, He sketched the likeness of this perfect life for us in words, in this same book of Psalms; in order that, just as He revealed Himself in flesh to be the perfect, heavenly Man, so in the Psalms also men of good-will might see the pattern life portrayed, and find therein the healing and correction of their own.
Athanasius of Alexandria (c.293-373): Letter to Marcellinus in Athanasius: The Life Of Antony And The Letter To Marcellinus, translated by Robert C. Gregg; Paulist Press, New York; pp. 101-129; 1980 @ Athanasius.com

Helsinki based hard rockers The Rasmus exploded onto world stage with the release of their huge international hit In The Shadows. 2017 seen the release of their ninth studio album titled Dark Matters, they promote with an extensive world tour which takes them to Poland for the 2 shows, this September.
The Rasmus have had a long a successful career. The band was formed in 1995 while still in high school and their debut album Peep (1996), rapidly went gold in their homeland, making the members rock stars at the age of 16. They quickly recorded and released the follow-up Playboys, which also went gold and earned the group an Emma, Finland's version of a Grammy. Their third album, Hell of a Tester, included Liquid, a track that was voted Best Single of the Year by Finland's music critics. 2001's Into went double platinum in its native country, with its debut single, F-F-F-Falling, going to the top of the charts. An international audience started to build, and the band toured throughout Europe. It paid off when 2003's Dead Letters climbed to number one in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
They continue to be a major draw, playing to packed out crowd whenever they perform. The latest release Dark Matters contains fresh, contemporary sounds as well as those more typical darker tones and made a massive hit throughout Europe and was greatly received by the critics.
After the huge success of their last year's shows in Warsaw and Krakow, The Rasmus will return to Poland once again, this September. On Sunday, 23rd they will perform in Stary Maneż in Gdańsk. Day later (Monday, 24th), the band will hit the stage in Centrum Koncertowe A2 in Wrocław. Support will come from bands The Shiver and Overlaps.
Both shows are presented by Live Nation Poland and klub Stodoła (Warsaw). Tickets are available at www.livenation.pl, priced for 89 PLN.

You must be smart if you got to the top, right? And because you are smart, it means you are usually good at making decisions, yes? It is possible that neither of these statements is true. The second certainly isn't.
New and emerging brain science is helping academics understand better why we make bad decisions. This book offers one of the best summaries of what is going on in our heads.
We deceive ourselves. Something called 'pattern recognition' leads us astray: we think we recognise a type of situation when perhaps we don't. And 'emotional tagging' stops us from being objective and rational about data. We think fast, as Daniel Kahneman has said, but we also think wrong.
The authors say there are four things you can do to guard against this. First, give decision-makers new experience or data to reduce the risk of failure. Second, test and challenge the prevailing view in group discussion. Third, use better corporate governance to make sure decisions are tested. And, fourth, keep better track of ongoing decisions.
This book won't stop you making some bad decisions but reading it will shift the odds in your favour.

King Arthur (April 3)
G.I. Jane (April 3)

Someone made a comment in one of the links:
bill @ Feb 8th 2007 9:24PM
"Does anyone else think that by the end of March Universal will be producing BD? Can they really afford not to when they are the only company making HD-DVD's exclusivley?(sorry the weinsteins, but Hannibal Rising was a partnership with MGM so I doubt that it will stay HD-DVD only).
This is awsome news, again, for BD!!!!!! "
What do you guys think?
"There are also more Blu-ray titles set for release this month than HD-DVD titles set for release throughout the year. "
Well, I guess that sums it up.. They are making more BD films in this month than are being released on HD DVD for the year.. wow.
blu ray is the new way haha, blu ray for the kill...
Haha I can remember Top Gamer advertising HD-DVD on a daily basis and screaming "it's over" lol where is this loud mouth now?


text: New "Charities" Board Sept 7, 2007 9:58:37 GMT Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostBack to Top Post by roger on Sept 7, 2007 9:58:37 GMT Hello everyone,Following an excellent suggestion made by Richard last night, and some extensive research done by Stephany, we have now created a new board specifically for coverage of Hayley's charity activities.There is one sub-board each for UNICEF, the Music Therapy Centre, and the Women's Environmental Network, and one for all other charities.Hayley occasionally gives concerts to raise awareness and funds for one or other of her charities. We have decided that discussion about these concerts should still be made to the "Hayley in Concert" board and that is likely to be where members and guests expect to find them. Any other discussion, about her visits to charity organisations, her field trips to Ghana etc, should now be made to the relevant sub-board.It is possible that members may care to discuss Hayley's charity work in general terms, and not necessarily relating specifically to any particular one. Those topics may be discussed right here in this general area of the Charity board.Thanks,Roger

Cybersecurity In 2019-When industry analyst Gartner listed its top 10 technology trends for 2019, one of the primary themes that stood out was cybersecurity. Things continue to move fast on both sides of the equation, with both black hats and white hats evolving the sophistication of their methods and tools. Here are five things I believe will play a pivotal role in cybersecurity in the coming year.
1. Analytics And Automation
The intelligent enterprise of the future will use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to evolve, mature and even disrupt current business practices to get more effective results. Cybersecurity is an area that is ripe for the machine learning evolution where we can take massive sets of data, analyze them, and take action in an automated way or recommend action through insights and patterns developed over time. Protecting against ransomware is a good example of this and is an area that is maturing quickly, as organizations will use AI to identify attempted attacks and problem-solve ways to proactively protect themselves before they even get to the targeted person(s).
2. Cloud And Hybrid Environments
Security concerns used to keep organizations out of the cloud. Now, security is one of cloud's strongest selling points. There are many reasons for this, including, the sheer ability for these large providers to invest at a magnitude and pace that few consumer companies might be able to. Many companies simply can't afford to keep up. Another reason is the ability of big providers to aggregate and make use of massive sets of data to identify and address threats. Effective machine learning requires significant amounts of data, and nobody has access to more data than aggregate providers of cloud services. On the other side of this, it also creates aggregated risk and a higher-profile target, which obviously needs to be managed through leading and innovating.
Hybrid environments do create some complexity here as well, which is likely where most companies are today. This will be a continued focus for organizations in the coming year. We need hardware to work seamlessly with software across a variety of platforms to move data securely. That means embedding security controls into applications and data to secure them inside and outside the organization. Building in security from the start should be the default will be a key skill for anyone developing in or managing hybrid environments.
3. Identity
Preparation for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — the EU's strict set of regulations on handling personal data — exposed some gaps and opportunities for organizations to develop more robust security practices. While GDPR is aimed at protecting people's personal information and identities, individuals remain vulnerable, largely due to our reliance on passwords. We need to evolve beyond passwords to create a new perimeter and safeguard around one's identity. Imagine how eliminating passwords would change hackers' ability to do harm or compromise a person's identity.

Rupali Dean unlocks her adventurous culinary spirit and experiences the epicurean delights of Vietnam's foodie capital
Having known Hoi An to be the foodie capital of Vietnam, we arrive with perilously high expectations from the meals we are about to consume. And how many times do we end up being disappointed? NONE! Cooks in Hoi An really know their way around a flavour rack.
A warm welcome and the ancient town
We start discussing our list on the flight. "Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich) for sure," says Chef Vaibhav Bhargava, my travel buddy on this trip. He's opening a Vietnamese restaurant back in cyber hub Gurgaon and we are here for some research. Disembarking at DA Nang Airport, we find our way to our cab. The cheery guide has already done her homework and knows we are foodies. We stop by for a local lunch of decadent Banh Xeo (Vietnamese pancake), Pho and some Vietnamese coffee but of course! A quick check in later, we are out to explore. I have never seen a city with a more charming Old Town. The streets of the ancient town are creased with shops and cafes all highlighted in smiling shades of yellow. Vibrant lights rule over every shopfront and each street.
We walk around taking in the periodic advent of a host of antique temples, and old homes bursting with character. Technically, entry into the Old Town is ticketed. I say theoretically because we were at no time required to display our tickets at any point other than when entering the momentous houses and temples. However, I endorse buying a ticket on your first day and keeping it on you for the length of your trip. We take a boat ride alongside the river of the ancient city before heading to Morning Glory, the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. Here Vaibhav discovered many dishes, which he later planned to learn to cook and incorporate in his menu of VietNom.
Food tour
We are up and ready at 7 a.m. because we have booked ourselves on an 'Original Taste of Hoi An' tour. The tour promises to provide us with an infrequent chance to experience and absorb Vietnamese ethos through its exclusive gastronomy. The excursion is in two parts: the primary is the rambling part, stopping at the multi-coloured native Tan An Village Markets where we encounter stall holders and talk about their food.
Street food
The walk then lingers along both high streets and back streets learning outlying makers and merchants creating and vending an extensive diversity of unusual foods. Our concluding destination is a relaxed reserved tasting room where we taste an extensive assortment of these indigenous delicacies bought straight from the sellers outside the trip route.
The Old Town is of course teeming with stimulating and delightful Vietnamese dishes each with its individual exclusive ethnic profile; however much of this food remains unidentified and many people miss the occasion to experience this enticing realm of exceptional flavours. On this tour we unlocked our adventurous culinary spirit and experienced the epicurean delights of Hoi An.
Making of Banh Mi bread
Some more food
Studying our constantly expanding list, we make a quick stop at Long Coffee for tasting the real Vietnamese version….which is decadent to the core and by the way this coffee shop with low seating stools serves over 3,000 coffees a day. Next, we speed to AM for outstanding vegetarian dishes. On the way back, we manage to stop by at The Sea Shell restaurant foe the tempura battered cat fish, at Son for the Cassava Salad and Prawns with Garlic Sauce and Phi Banh Mi for the famous sandwich. Admittedly we look happy and how…. We have ticked off 100 per cent of that list!

EW Shelf Life Book Club: 'Ape House'
I can't think of a single female friend who hasn't read Water for Elephants. (I'm sure there are countless men out there who similarly fell for that rollicking tale of Depression era circus life but I've yet to ooh and ahh with one over my beloved Rosie.) Sara Gruen's novel was a delight, even if I had quibbles about a romance I thought demanded another 25 pages or so of development. So when I got my hands on Ape House, I tore through it in two nights.
The novel, about an enormously endearing family of bonobos apes and the humans who both advocate and endanger them, is quick, momentum-fueled read. Every single person I've spoken with about it, regardless of how much they enjoyed the novel as a whole, fell hardest for the bonobos themselves. Truth be told, some of the human characters in Ape House drove me nuts. John's wife Amanda struck me as more tedious than sympathetic and his hand-wringing about having kids felt half-baked. The eeeee-vil reporter Cat was perhaps more caricature than character. I thought the book really came most alive when we were back in the room with the bonobos. Several Shelf Life readers wrote in with questions regarding Gruen's affinity for animal characters, to which the author was gracious enough to respond.
I'm interested in how Sara Gruen chooses which animal to focus on in her novels. Does she choose the animal and then build the story, or think of a good plot and find an animal that fits it?
With Water for Elephants I had the idea of setting first, the circus, and when researching it I found that the most interesting stories that had filtered down through the historical texts involved elephants. In fact some of those stories made their way into my book, such as the story of the elephant that steals the lemonade. In Ape House I learned about the bonobos and became really interested in them and decided they should feature in my next book, so in this case the animals came before the story.
Ms Gruen, do you like writing animal characters better, or human characters? Why?
I enjoy both equally because they are of equal importance to me. It's easier in a way for me to write human characters because I can invent things they can do or say because I am human. With animals I cannot take liberties with what they may or may not be thinking. In fact my editor wanted more ape scenes but I didn't want to make scenes up out of whole cloth. I wanted to base them on personal or recorded experience in order to maintain authenticity. Nearly all of the scenes involving bonobo conversation in Ape House are based on conversations I myself have had with apes or conversations scientists have had with apes that have been recorded texts.
Did Ms. Gruen actually get into an enclosure and spend some face time right [with bonobos]? I know that bonobos are very different from chimps and not generally aggressive, but I'm curious to know if it was still a bit frightening to meet with them.
Actually I got out of an enclosure with a bonobo and went and had a tea party with her in the forest. Bonobo culture is so very different from chimps', so that while you couldn't pay me enough to be in a room with an unrestrained chimp, I was not afraid at all to be with a bonobo.
Tea party in the forest! I'd love to hear from you readers about your reading experience with Ape House. In particular I'm interested in hearing about one's sense of expectation, how one's passion for a writer's previous work can enhance or distract. I didn't enjoy Ape House nearly as much as Water for Elephants but I'm not sure how to separate that from an unfair inflated expectation. Any readers out there who actually preferred Ape House? And since we're on the subject of expectation, why don't we let one Shelf Life reader indulge in some speculating about the Water for Elephants film adaptation starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon.
We've heard that there are some pretty major plot changes in the Water for Elephants movie. Did Ms. Gruen have any say in them?
Writing a screenplay is a very different skill than writing novels and is not one I pretend to possess. Richard LaGravenese took something that takes 12 to 14 hours to read and condensed it into something that can be viewed in
two hours and still remain true to the story. My hat's off to him.

Kyler Murray Scouting Report Video
February 24, 2019
After being drafted with the 9th overall pick in the Major League Baseball Draft, not much was thought of Murray going into the 2018 college football season. Instead Murray dazzled his way into our hearts with highlight reel throws and runs and even earned himself the Heisman Trophy. And with all this attention it turned into a discussion of whether Murray should play football or baseball professionally. Now that Murray has come out that he will play football he has become one of the most talked about prospects in the entire 2019 Draft class. In our Kyler Murray Scouting Report Video we take a look play clips to illustrate what type of prospect Murray is heading into the 2019 NFL Draft.

Last month the City Mental Health Alliance successfully launched its new early careers network 'Thriving from the Start' in London, a new mental health community where people starting their careers in the City (typically graduates, school leavers and apprentices) can talk openly about mental health at work, share ideas and feedback insights to City business leaders.
The launch event was an evening full of ideas and energy – thank you to everyone for their input and support! As we listened to the powerful personal stories from professionals of PWC, Bank of England and Slaughter and May and the panel, it was clear that the City can learn a huge amount from new joiners to our industries and that there are some quick wins within our reach.
Some of the speakers described that whilst they were open about a mental health condition at university, they kept it hidden when they started work. Others shared how the behaviour of their colleagues delayed them asking for help and importantly, many shared the great support they received when they were open about their condition or concerns.
These inspiring speakers are not alone in initially feeling hesitant to share; recent research conducted by CMHA found that 64% of students and graduates believe disclosing mental health issues will hinder their chances of securing a job.
There were also some great and challenging questions from the audience which drove a healthy debate at the networking afterwards. We are excited about how this openness and fresh thought will drive change to eradicate the stigma and improve the experiences of people [in the workplace] with mental health conditions.
What did we learn that any business can apply, with no ROI calculation needed!:
- Listening is free and in our experience transformational to build support, understanding and trust. Can you find ways to bring personal experiences of mental health of your people or in your industry to life? We would love to hear how this had an impact for your business if you are already doing this?
- If you brought together new joiners of your business and asked them if they were confident to ask for support with their mental health, what would they tell you? You do not even have to guess if you can bring together a small focus group. You might also identify some new mental health champions for your workplace to support with your existing programmes.
- You can find more ideas about workplace mental health initiatives in our Guide to Thriving at Work.
If you are interested to learn more and join the Thriving from the Start network, you can sign up through this online form.

How to upgrade from MySQL 5 to MySQL 8
MySQL 8.0 became the version available for download by default (the previous current version was MySQL 5.7). Therefore, now it is considered that it is ready for use in production. I took several hours to solve the problems that occurred during the update process, I hope very much that this note will save your time.
I upgraded MySQL to version 8.0 on Windows. But I suppose the similar errors will occur in Linux.
My web server and MySQL are installed according to this guide. If you installed in another way, then you may have other paths to folders, consider this.
Backup of all MySQL databases
Make sure you make backup before you perform the update! The MySQL 5 and MySQL 8 database files are not fully compatible, and when MySQL 8 starts, the database file structure is automatically changed. This means that if something goes wrong and you want to roll back to MySQL 5, it might just be impossible.
I make backups in two ways:
- export all databases to a file;
- backup the files in which the databases are stored.
Export all databases can be done directly in phpMyAdmin, for this go to the main page and select the 'Export' tab.
I recommend NOT ticking 'Add DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS', because if the file is large, then it will have to be imported in several stages, and if there is used the DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS query, then at the beginning of the import, the previously received records will be deleted, therefore it will be impossible to complete the operation.
You can make backup copies using the mysqldump utility. Features of using mysqldump in Windows:
- do not use PowerShell, use the command line (in PowerShell, redirection of the output, denoted by the > and < symbols) does not work, for this, in PowerShell execute the command
- go to the directory with the program, it is located in the C:\Server\bin\mysql-8.0\bin\ folder, to do this,
cd C:\Server\bin\mysql-8.0\bin\
- You can run mysqldump without specifying the file extension, but specify the current folder, ie:
- you do not need to back up the following databases:
- information_schema
- mysql
- performance_schema
- sys
The second option is to copy the folder C:\Server\data\DB\data\ to a safe place. To do this, first stop MySQL with the following command:
net stop mysql
Of course, you need to make regular backups, not only before updating the DBMS.
Error 'The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password]' (SOLVED)
This error will not only appear when updating MySQL, but also during fresh installation. It looks something like this:
Warning: mysqli::__construct(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password] in C:\Server\data\htdocs\Test\MiAlFlexableSSL\mysqliConnector.dll.php on line 31 Warning: mysqli::__construct(): (HY000/2054): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client in C:\Server\data\htdocs\Test\MiAlFlexableSSL\mysqliConnector.dll.php on line 31
The error appears in phpMyAdmin and in any script that query the database. The problem is that at the present time PHP does not implement an extension to work with the authentication method caching_sha2.
To avoid this error, add a directive to the my.ini configuration file:
An example of a workable file, in which there are all the necessary settings for the successful launch of the DBMS:
[mysqld] sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES datadir="c:/Server/data/DB/data/" default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password
Updating the structure of database files when migrating to MySQL 8
Immediately after starting the DBMS, processing of the database files begins, for this reason the first start needs much time and even a message may appear that MySQL could not be started. But after a while, the service will be started.
Even after this, mistakes begin to appear in the logs:
[Warning] [MY-010952] [Server] The privilege system failed to initialize correctly. If you have upgraded your server, make sure you're executing mysql_upgrade to correct the issue.

To fix all these warnings and errors, you must run mysql_upgrade. The MySQL service must be started, and with the -u and -p options you must specify the login and password (if any), respectively:
cd C:\Server\bin\mysql-8.0\bin\ ./mysql_upgrade.exe -uroot
MySQL 8 hanging when accessing some databases
Hangings occurred before and after mysql_upgrade. It was enough to access to some databases, for example, try to open in phpMyAdmin, or visit the website that uses it.
Nothing helped, MySQL 8 was hanging tightly: the service did not restart, only the restart of the computer helped, but not for long time, only before the first access to the problem database.
If you have a similar problem and you have not made a backup in the form of .sql for import, then downgrade to MySQL 5. In the C:\Server\data\DB\data\ folder, restore the old format files from the backup.
After that, export all the databases to a .sql file. When this file is ready, delete MySQL 5, delete the contents of C:\Server\data\DB\data\, install MySQL 8 and initialize it, as it does when first installing:
C:\Server\bin\mysql-8.0\bin\mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=root C:\Server\bin\mysql-8.0\bin\mysqld --install net start mysql
After that, restore all the databases from the backup (.sql file).
With this method of database migration, the problem with the hang has completely disappeared.
Restoring databases from a backup without phpMyAdmin in Windows
To export databases, phpMyAdmin works well. But with the import there were a number of problems. Below I will show how to resolve all these errors, but it is much easier and many times faster to make imports without phpMyAdmin and other helpers in PHP scripts.
To do this, open the Windows command prompt. Press WIN + x combination, then select Windows PowerShell. To exit PowerShell and go to the command prompt, run:
Then change the current folder:
cd C:\Server\bin\mysql-8.0\bin\
And run the command like this:
mysql -uroot < C:\path\to\backup_file.sql
For example, my backup is contained in the localhost.sql file, which is located in the folder C:\Users\Alex\Downloads\, then the command looks like this:
mysql -uroot < C:\Users\Alex\Downloads\localhost.sql
Error phpMyAdmin 'Core :: fatalError ('Incorrect format parameter');'
When I tried to import databases using phpMyAdmin, I always had an error:
phpMyAdmin - Error Incorrect format parameter
To fix it, open the file C:\Server\data\htdocs\phpmyadmin\import.php, find the line there
Core::fatalError('Incorrect format parameter');
And delete it.
Save and close the file.
If I understand the code correctly, the format of the file is checked and if the format does not match the one specified in the list, then the program stops working. I had this problem for a sql file compressed into a zip archive. Perhaps it was enough to add zip to the list of formats.
Solving the problem with the error 'import.php: Missing parameter: import_type'
Then immediately there was a problem:
phpMyAdmin - Error import.php: Missing parameter: import_type
Despite 'super verbose' of the error, I figured out its reason: the script simply did not receive the file with a backup copy of the database. The reason is that by default PHP sets very small values for the maximum size of the file uploaded to the server, and the file transferred by the POST method. On a local server, this is very easy to fix. Open the c:\Server\bin\PHP\php.ini file, and edit the following directives:
upload_max_filesize = 2M
The maximum size of the file uploaded to the server. Initially installed a very small size - only two megabytes. For example, if you load a database into phpMyAdmin, it will not be possible to load a file larger than 2 megabytes until this directive is changed. Set this value more than the size of the imported file.
post_max_size = 8M
sets the maximum amount of data that will be received when sent using the POST method. Similarly, set the size larger than the imported file.
Other directives do not need be changed, but if you want, you can provide PHP scripts with additional resources:
memory_limit = 128M
sets the maximum amount of memory that the script can use
max_file_uploads = 20
maximum number of files to upload at a time
max_execution_time = 30
maximum execution time of one script
;default_charset = "UTF-8"
sets the encoding (by default, the string is commented out)
For these changes to take effect, you must restart you web server.
These are not all phpMyAdmin errors: after solving the above-mentioned problems, phpMyAdmin began to complain that there was an incorrect command format in my backup. In general, you should import databases directly into MySQL. If there are a lot of databases and they are large, compared to phpMyAdmin, the import speed will be many times faster.
So, we summarize, for updating from MySQL 5.* to MySQL 8.*:
- make a backup of the databases
- after installing MySQL 8, run the program to update the file format
- if there are freezes or other problems in the work, stop the database, delete the database files, initialize MySQL to create the default files and import the database from the backup
If similar problems occur on Linux, these recipes should also help.

The Quill of Tacitus Book Blog
ATLANTA — Sunbury Press has released John D. Cressler's latest novel "Shadows in the Shining City," the 2nd book in the Anthems of El-Andalus Series.
About the Book:
The Golden Age of Moorish Spain was during the 10th century, a time when the benevolent Syrian Arab Caliphs ruled Iberia from Córdoba, the site of the iconic Great Mosque and home to the Royal Library, one of the largest collections of ancient books ever assembled. 10th century Córdoba was the richest, most populous, and most cultured city in the western world. Under the tolerant Muslim Caliphs, the pinnacle of convivencia was attained, that unique period of Spanish history when Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together in relative harmony and peace. Multicultural Córdoba was an enlightened city that treasured its books, celebrated art and literature, advanced science and medicine, and its myriad accomplishments were envied by both the west and the east…

Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. What makes it so spectacular is that all of the new construction and skyscrapers are excluded from the centre of the city. As I stood on Montmartre and took this picture I couldn't help but think that this view has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Because of this practice, scenic views remain unblocked by new construction. You can buy a print of this image at my commercial gallery by clicking here.

"Well, what did you expect?"
"I expected it would be better!"
"And that was foolish of you, wasn't it?"
"But it's a horror!"
"Well, that's capitalism for you…"
"I just…I don't see how you can simply accept it like that."
"I'm not accepting it. Au contraire. I loathe it. However, I simply did not expect it to be otherwise. At a certain point, you must be realistic. You cannot be surprised by events that follow naturally from the operations of a system."
"Must we give in to resignation, then? Is that all that is left? Must we lose our capacity to be terrified by the terrifying, nauseated by the nauseating? Do we gaze listlessly as the casualties mount, with 'What did you expect' on our lips? Are we not capable of mustering some scrap of emotion? I, for one, never cease to be astonished by the cruelties of this world, and can never accept them as ordinary. Perhaps that makes me childlike, a starry-eyed fool destined to have my optimism punctured daily by circumstance. But I could not live otherwise."
