#SEOisAEO: How to get Entities and Their Attributes in the Knowledge Graph
- "In order to own the conceptual space where your company surfaces, think in terms of semantic density." Can you explain?
- Knowledge graph, knowledge vault. Give us the rundown to where we're at with that now today
- What is the way to get an entity into the knowledge graph?
- Could you explain semantic writing and context clouds in a way that everybody else will understand?

- What about all these other knowledge graphs? They're obviously gunning for a place
- What does the future of managing your Knowledge Graph entries look like?
- Credibility and Position zero
Jason: I'm particularly excited about this episode because I initially thought I'd been really smart: I got my place in the knowledge graph by leveraging the fact that I was a musician and I'd made some cartoons for TV.
Then I started talking to other people about their experiences, and I realized that I had it pretty easy. I was leveraging notable things that were easy to get myself into the knowledge graph. Cheating like that is fine, but it doesn't necessarily bring you the low-down, the real information about how to do it. So we're going to look at that today with David, Andrew, and Sam.
"In order to own the conceptual space where your company surfaces, think in terms of semantic density." Can you explain?
David: Let's go back to pre-semantic search days when the web was simpler, search was simpler, and our job was simpler. We thought in terms of keyword density. In the worst-case scenario that is the number of times a keyword appears in a web document. And that would help that document to surface for a search query that contained that keyword. Simple. Now we have semantic search and semantic density. The same simplicity of approach applies, but our work is infinitely more complex. So what do we mean by semantic density? In order to be provided as a relevant answer to a search query in semantic search, we need to surface the credibility of the information we provide. The only way of doing so is by building the presence as an entity in relation to that particular query. And that means having the relevant information corroborated just about everywhere, so Google sees it and is confident. Only then can it actually surface you in relation to a particular query.
We mention domain authority in relation to websites. Both Gary Ilyes and John Mueller have said Google doesn't take domain authority as a ranking signal.
But then Google also has said that when it comes to a new page on the web which surfaces in relation to a website, they use a site-wide signal to rank that particular web page. That is essentially domain authority. So mixed signals here.
Jason: You said website authority. But if you have your entity in the knowledge graph, and you've managed to connect the brand to the website, then it's no longer Domain Authority - we are talking about Brand Authority. Up to now, Google had to base trust on links and websites because it was something they could actually get a grip on. But now they can get a grip on brands, we're looking at brand authority, not website authority. Would you agree with that?
David: Yeah, definitely. And essentially the way we establish semantic density is by getting outside our own tiny website, which is controlled by us, which makes its trustworthiness questionable. So we have to get corroboration on the unstructured web, which is the social media space, structured databases and citations in different publications and so on. That's semantic density. And there are two vital things. First of all, it's a lot of work. Second thing, there are no shortcuts.
Jason: Yes. That is something people often fail to understand. They know (and can talk about) themselves, but they don't realize that until they've convinced Google that they are actually telling the truth, they have no authority.
David: Yes, absolutely. And I think you're making a very important point here about convincing Google. Also remember that, because Google's algorithms are constantly changing and completely opaque, we always work in the dark. We probe by doing something, reading the results and seeing if that works. A lot of the stuff we work with is theoretical.
At the same time, however, it's based on mathematics that is public knowledge. Look at how domain authority is developed in the context of graph theory, you need four things. - The prestige of a website of its authors - there are equations which give us that. - The quality of the information which is presented - there are mathematically assessed signals which give us that. - The website centrality - the closeness of the importance of a website in a knowledge graph. - A competitive situation around the subject - the more popular the subject, the greater the competition, the more people do it, so the harder it is for you to rise as an authority because of the noise and the similarity with everybody else.
Those four things are not different from how we operate in the real world as flesh and blood entities. Now translate them into the digital domain: they can be broken down into practical steps which can be applied as a daily goal, daily task level. And that will produce results.
A concrete example of how this works in the real world. For any kind of product, the traditional marketing mix gives us product, price, place, and promotion. In AEO, that would be solutions instead of product, access instead of price, value instead of place, and education instead of promotion. And there we have a template of what the content should be doing, in any kind of platform, whether it's a website, or social web, or in a database.
Jason: Brilliant.
Knowledge graph, knowledge vault. Give us the rundown to where we're at with that now today
Sam: The knowledge graph is something people are more aware of. It is crowdsourced - Google's getting data from Wikidata, Freebase... So that's what the knowledge graph is, getting information from structured, curated sources. That is very human-created. There are huge gaps in that knowledge. For example, 71% of people in Freebase have no place of birth listed, and 75% have no nationality assigned. That's because, since it's human created it is limited by the actual amount of manpower behind it. The knowledge vault tries to fix that by collecting data in an unstructured way, by scraping the web. And that's got its own issues with how factual that information actually is. When it finds something on the web; an HTML dom, or a table, web text, or annotations, it is finding RDF triples - someone is making a statement about something with a subject, predicate, and an object. Something like, "Obama is American", "Bob is 30" - any kind of statement like that about an entity. Obviously, on the web, anyone can say anything, so what Google's have spoken about doing with the knowledge vault is verifying. If they see the same information repeated over and over again on multiple different domains, they can conclude, "Okay, well this is more likely to be a fact." The stat I've seen around is that of triples it finds across the web, it is very confident in the veracity of only 16%. So there's a huge amount where Google is not 100% sure. Using their knowledge graph, they can cross-verify the unstructured data they've found across the web.
Jason: The idea of cross-verification is incredibly important. And then it seems that the more you provide information that turns out to be factual, the more you become a trusted source. And that could be a way in the future of building trustworthiness.
Next up, the Knowledge Graph. Here's a way to check if you are in there: https://kalicube.pro/knowledge-graph-explorer.
How do you get in the knowledge graph? I found this when searching Google. Not very complete.
What is the way to get an entity into the knowledge graph?
Andrew: Schema is a given. Start with that on your site. The biggest data source that Google has is us. State the facts in Schema, then make sure that is corroborated elsewhere on the web. Wikipedia, for example. The majority of us are not notable, we haven't written books, we're not famous musicians, we haven't invented things that everybody knows about. In short, we aren't notable and cannot claim a Wikipedia page… Tough, but you can add information to Wikidata.Beyond that, you need to think about what Google is trying to do. It's trying to come up with the best answer about who you are and what you do. You need to think about the ways that you can feed Google this information. Google My Business is important since you're directly feeding the machine. Then you can get yourself cited in the Better Business Bureau, Trip Advisor, Yelp, Crunchbase and so on. Google is also scraping all this kind of stuff. People are an interesting case. Names are ambiguous. Simon's asked about this and he has this issue because he's got a very common name. If you search for Simon Cox, you get 50 trillion results, so then you search again for Simon Cox footballer, or Simon Cox SEO, or Simon Cox musician... then Google knows which one you mean because it is associating people with their attributes. You need to get those search terms related to your name (brand or person). A brand like Optimisey is easier because it is unique. But then, what the heck is Optimisey? Initially, Google doesn't know. First, explain on the official site that it is an SEO company. Hopefully, people start searching for Optimisey SEO, giving Google supporting evidence. But you also need crawlable corroboration. Interestingly, it comes back to some really basic SEO stuff that we've all covered before: link building, citations, mentions. Context is a really big thing here.
Jason: Great. What strikes me about many of those sources you mentioned - My business, my own website, Wikipedia, Wikidata etc. is that it's all stuff that I can control. So it's actually not trustworthy at all. Because I can add myself to Wikipedia, or to Wikidata… Perhaps the crux of it all is placing information on trustworthy sources where we have no control so that Google can cross-check and believe all this information.
David: Everything we've covered up to now has been building up to it really nicely. The trustworthiness of the information on the web is key. Essentially a knowledge vault is supposed to address that by carrying out computations between knowledge graph an unstructured data across the web and identifying some sort of signal. What we want in search is to index the web in one database that can give us all the relevant answers in relation to everything that happens online. But that is next to impossible to do on the fly right now because data is so fluid and complex. But there are things which are happening in the background. The entity database gets built up year on year, and entities are trustworthy sources. The connections, the edges between these nodes in the graph are being calculated more precisely year on year. Google's computational power goes up every year, and the cost goes down. And that is critical because managing the amount of money they spend doing this is what allows them to keep on doing it. As the automated process improves, more data is included and the results get faster and smarter... we will get to the stage where there is independent corroboration, just like in real life. In real life, if you go to Cambridge and say "who is the best Cambridge SEO", everybody will say Andrew, right? Well to make that happen, Andrew has actually done a lot of work. He's networked, he's visible, his work is everywhere, and his customers talk about him. If we do the same on the web, at some point this will start surfacing independently. It hasn't happened yet, but we can see that the pathways are there. In some ways, it's like the same discussion that we had in 2012, where the semantic search results were very imprecise. We were getting mixed results from the search: from the old source where it was just links, and from related semantic search results because the semantic search graph hadn't been populated yet. Once the knowledge vault is populated better, we'll see better results.
Jason: Yeah. So one thing I do pull out of that, is you're saying we should be networking more online, with Google as the eternal listener. Which is this nice idea. Google watches us network, and it can see where all our connections are coming in, and the more you do that, the more you build up an image of yourself.
Andrew: There's a really interesting thing there, Jason. Google killed Google+ recently. But remember Google Circles? That was Google's attempt to get the social graph. With that it knows that Jason the SEO is connected to David the SEO, and is also connected to Andrew the SEO, so chances are that the Simon Cox who is also in this group is the SEO guy and not the footballer.
David: It's interesting. Google+ has gone away, but that doesn't mean there's a vacuum in its place. It has simply substituted the wholly-controlled parameters of Google+ with looking at the wider web. And my guess it's betting on algorithmic improvements to its machine learning to actually deliver the results.
Jason: Great! A quick aside about semantic triples in text. I talked to Doc Sheldon and he was saying "keep in mind the concept of RDF triples. Incorporate clarifying statements into reference content in a way which is supported by the markup." Brilliant. David Amerland went further and said you should add a semantic layer by identifying meaningful elements and rewriting those parts to leverage subject-predicate-object. You could even employ somebody whose job is to pull out the semantic triples and reinsert them in a way that Google can easily read them. Then look at Wavii, who were automatically identifying relationships between subjects, objects/entities using verbs such as "acquired", "graduated from", "is author of", "is based in", "studied at", and so on. So clearly correct grammar is vital. Taking that a step further look at context clouds. That is a recent Google patent about identifying entities within a document, seeing what other entities are around it, and trying to build understanding about entities, relationships, and attributes through the context in which they are found… And then building ontology-based context clouds that can link things together. I think I explained that quite badly.
Could you explain semantic writing and context clouds in a way that everybody else will understand?
Sam: Sure. When it comes to writing content for semantics, it's very different to ten years ago where you used the same word over and over to make sure Google realized, "Oh yeah, you're actually talking about this topic." Nowadays, with the knowledge graph and knowledge vault, it's very much around mentioning related entities. So if you're going to talk about Obama, it also expects you to say things like President, America, Washington, Michelle Obama. Those relationships will trigger "Okay, I'm confident now you're talking about President Obama because you're talking about all these other things". That's where your writing should be going. Ping the knowledge graph to see what it views as related and contextual to an entity. Then write around those. And because of how the knowledge vault is cross-checking facts, make sure you're using triples.
Jason: Indeed. So, it's building up the corpus of your site with semantic triples, talking about related entities and attributes to create a context cloud and use sentences that are clearly subject-verb-object. William Rock has just pointed out that Wavii was acquired by Google. I might be completely wrong about this because I got a bit confused after reading too many of Bill Slawski's articles, but that might've been the basis on which the context cloud has been built.
David: Google has a long history of acquiring technologies that it incorporates in its knowledge graph and search algorithms… this is probably a case in point.
Andrew: As SEOs, we sometimes forget that we have all these tools to find related topics. Google itself is a really good source. Google Trends is great! People often use it to compare trends in search term popularity - compare the trend of "blue shoes" versus "red shoes" over time. But Trends offers more. It tells you what topics Google thinks is related to the query. You stick in Barack Obama and it tells you the topics it sees as related. Donald Trump, President, Michelle Obama, all the things that Sam was talking about. Wow. Google will tell you what it thinks are the related topics around that subject. Use it. People Also Ask. Search for Barack Obama and the knowledge panel will tell you what people are looking for related to that data set. Who is his wife? How tall is he? Was he the 44th or the 45th president? All that stuff is in the knowledge graph. But the importance of relationships is not standardized. If you search for John Wayne, you get a list of all his movies. You search for David Beckham, you get a list of his kids. Because that is what people ask. It doesn't have the same knowledge graph data for every single person, it's not a cookie cutter template, it's based on what people look for.
Jason: Yeah. And you were saying is there is a process. There are several questions. David Beckham goes from "who are his kids" to "buy David Beckham t-shirts". That is where people can make money out of the knowledge graph. Oooooh. I've just solved everybody's money-making problems for the next 20 years :)
I really like that last part - the idea of learning through known relationships, ie things that have been often manually curated, then semi-structured data where we can estimate relationships between entities, and even the unknown ones because we can guess that there is some kind of relationship through the frequency of co-occurrence.
Here we've got a company, an operating system, and a person.
What are the specifics of different problems faced for companies, people, software and products?
Andrew: What Google hates is being wrong. It doesn't want to give an answer where it thinks, "mmmm not sure". It needs a high degree of certainty. You have to make it really clear what your offer is. The key thing here is schema. Mark up all your pages. Context is really important. Make sure the context is there in your content. One issue now is that people create companies and software with stupid names. Purple Flamingo or Tangerine Umbrella...
Jason: Or Wavii.
Andrew: Or Wavii. What the hell is Wavii? Out of context, Wavii doesn't mean anything. Bill Slawski uses the example of "horse". Are you talking about the animal, the one you jump on as a gymnast, the one that you use to balance your carpentry stuff? The surrounding content, all the citations, all the links, will give context and allow it to disambiguate.
Jason: Yeah. That's what you were talking about yesterday - the ambiguity of everything. Companies tend not to be ambiguous within their industry and within their country. There are rules about sharing names and trademarks on company names. Whereas people have this enormous problem with ambiguity. I certainly have it. With my name, there's a footballer in South Africa, a dentist in America, a preacher in America, and a guy who's been in prison. There are loads of Jason Barnards around, so that ambiguity becomes a problem. You mentioned barnacling to me.
Andrew: So if you're not famous in your particular area, then you need to be mentioned where famous people in that area are. So let's say I was starting out as a double bass player, and I'm like, "Nobody's heard of me, how am I going to get into this world? Jason Barnard, he's a really famous double bass player. I can get mentioned where he is" And it is that piggybacking on those other people because that's how to get the context. Andrew Cox-Starkey says he is a double bass player. Google's not going to take my word for it. But if I'm mentioned in the context, in the same place that Jason Barnard is mentioned, "Oh we know who he is, he's a named entity, he's a double bass player, he has all these albums." It's barnacling - hitching yourself onto the double bass player. It might be worth signing up for a double bass school - not because you actually bother going, but because they make you look credible because you're signed up to that school and you're an alumnus of that double bass school.
Jason: Great, so we can credibilize by piggybacking the CEO or the board of directors and that can help us push the company. So whatever is notable: the company, people, products, software... take the one that is notable and leverage that as much as you can to get the other ones up there. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the more you do it the better it gets.
Andrew: I was lucky enough to have Marie Haynes come and speak at one of my events, and she and I were chatting afterward. And she has this theory that Google is doing a lot of work to devalue links. There are just too many links, and we've so much spam links. But that's not working anymore because of the whole context thing. If you have 100 links in crappy directories, no good. If you have one link from that double bass school, that's much more relevant and much more useful. And Marie was talking about this distance from trusted sources: Wikipedia, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, whatever it is. The question is how far away are you from those trusted sources? Are you linked to from a site that's linked to from the New York Times? Or are you linked to from a site that's linked to from a site that's linked ... You might not be able to get yourself on the front page of the Huffington Post tomorrow, but can you get yourself on the front page of a site that's linked to from the Huffington Post.
Jason: Or even get yourself mentioned in the same breath, on the same page, in the same sentence, as somebody who works for the Huffington Post.
Andrew: Exactly. Getting in that context, getting in that circle.
What about all these other knowledge graphs? They're obviously gunning for a place
David: Everybody is building their own knowledge graph. Google of course. Amazon have got their own knowledge graph, which is product related and purchaser revolving. Airbnb have their own. Facebook have an interrelationship graph. The question here is always, how do these relate to each other, and what's going to happen next? It's a floating question. We don't know precisely. There is value in the connectivity of these data graphs. However, Facebook is a walled garden. And everybody else at the moment tends to exchange data to a certain degree, so data is portable in terms of it's transparent to search, and search becomes a unifying latticework through which most of these things surface. Look at Amazon. They have a lot of data in their graph. They have movies, they have music, they have books, they have other products. Plus they have also pushed Neptune out in the corporate world - essentially a database that allows companies to take their data and turn it into a knowledge graph. If Amazon feel at some point they have sufficient knowledge about an individual to be able to pull that person into their universe, then they might think, okay why don't we wall off our information from Google? In which case you're going to get into a very fragmented web, where we will have to leapfrog from silo to silo in order to get something done. But all this is happening against a backdrop of constant change in terms of privacy and legislative initiatives to address those issues. So it is also quite possible that we'll get to the stage where we control the central data of our identity, perhaps through a web ID. That could be blockchain powered. There are a lot of initiatives on that front right now. For example, the Legal Entity Identifier framework that right now is aimed at corporations. It's a non-profit blockchain-powered initiative. And it's only a small step to getting that to us as individuals. If we get to that stage, then we control our data the same way that we control our personality in the real world. Companies will have to give us some kind of value to convince us to part with the data and allow them to use it.
Jason: Wow. Taking back control of the data is something I also heard from Andrea Volpini. I encourage my clients to communicate with the knowledge graph and try and shove all their information into it. But in fact what we're doing is throwing this information at Google, desperately hoping we can get some short-term value. But the long term could be a complete disaster.
David: It could be. It comes down to how valuable something is and what happens next. Google has a lot of data on us and it's incredibly valuable to them. If that value then is abused and legislative initiatives are put in place that prevent them from exploiting it, then they effectively killed the goose that lays the golden egg. I don't think that this is something that they want to do. So there's a dynamic there between what we lose and what we gain with every interaction. A great example is voice-activated assistants like Google Home and Alexa. We are aware that they listen to us, and we use them even though we don't trust them. We're in a space which I call a trust truce. Essentially we use them because we get something done. We're aware that they get some data, but that data isn't something which is incredibly valuable to us and it doesn't do any damage for us if they have it. If we get past that, we'll need to rework the relationship and find different ways of working.
Jason: Crumbs. Brilliant stuff, wonderful. Next. Linked Open Data cloud. 1224 datasets in one linked open data cloud. Nine knowledge domains: geography, government, linguistics, life science, media, publications, social networking, user-generated and cross-domain.The idea is all these knowledge graphs all link together but with the problem that the IDs don't match, there is a problem of portability. Despite that, is this an opportunity, can we just fill up the LOD?
David: In theory yeah. The original vision of semantic web was that everybody did their bit and put data out there because we all benefited - clearly tagged, marked and structured. That should've worked in theory. And we know it doesn't, because the dynamics in the real world isn't right. The reward systems in our brains aren't activated - we're unlikely to engage in that kind of behavior unless we personally gain something. So here the question is who's going to gain. It's reminiscent of directories in the beginning of the web where people contributed and created a loose taxonomy with information… but that got abused and was deprecated and now they aren't worth anything. So I think the way forward is through clear identification of data in terms of its provenance, and clear structure of data in terms of its value. That will give it a relevance-value once it's indexed and used in search.
What does the future of managing your Knowledge Graph entries look like?
Andrew: That's a big question. I'm worried that Google is becoming the source of truth for everything.
Jason: Yeah, short term we're playing with fire. For the moment I'm enjoying it, so I'll keep going. Sam, what do you think the future of managing our Knowledge Graph entries is going to look like?
Sam: As Google gets better at understanding whether something is a fact they're going to invest more heavily. Answer Bots are part of the future. Google's going to get smarter. Face up to that.
Jason: Oh yes. You touched on one point - trust and confidence and credibility. If I can leverage myself to be the trusted source about myself, and build on that confidence… Google becomes confident that I'm telling the truth because I've always told the truth about myself. Indirectly I get more control over my own data simply because these machines will tend to believe me thanks to my historical truthfulness.
David: You mentioned trust. It's one of those woolly things - we think "I know it when I see it, but I don't know how to create it." That isn't true. There is a granular approach to creating trust. The steps that give us expertise: is your content good or is it not? Does it answer the question or does it not? Does it have the relevant technical information or does it not? Does it have all the relevant links or does it not? It is easy to show you are an expert. The steps which give us trust are: contact, perception, assessment, and connection. And they're linear in terms of how they evolve. The steps that give us authority are: identity, conversations, sharing, presence, relationships, reputation, and groups/communities. Big question - are you an authority on a subject? An authority is cited by everybody. Compare that to "he knows his stuff but nobody knows of him". Making that happen is very labor intensive, you need a strategic approach. Also because it's the web, it has to be intentional. For the first time, we need to create those things in a very intentional, planned way. As opposed to how we do them in the real world.
Jason: Absolutely phenomenal. Brilliant.That explanation of EAT is brilliant. Importantly, it is very labor intensive. We don't have the choice. We have to build our EAT… feeding that to these Knowledge Graphs. Definitely not something we can put to one side. A lot of companies are saying, "We'll leave that till later because we need those short-term gains." That is terribly foolish of them
Credibility and Position zero
David: Position zero will always rely on relevance and trustworthiness.
Jason: Perfect last word. Wonderful stuff. Thank you Sam, Andrew and David, that was absolutely brilliant. Lots of really interesting insights, lots of great conversation. A couple of good jokes as well.Please come along next Tuesday, same time, same place for "how does Google use the Knowledge Graph in its AE algorithm". Bye bye, thanks a lot, guys.

Hi Sanjay!
There's always a point in making your voice heard. We've changed quite a bit of things based on user feedback.
Yes, I could be more clear I guess on why it actually tends to decrease security. I do mention one aspect: Convenience. Iconvenient security solutions are either not used, or worked around. This is well established in many contexts. It's about practical psychology, not theoretical security. Another aspect is another facet of inconvenience. Invariably, many passwords will be weaker than one strong. It's just how we're wired. It's also the main theory behind single sign on in general, which is fairly well accepted. Yet another aspect is the fact that often the argument is that for less important files, the user is happy with a less secure password. Less secure. This is just faulty logic, since it costs nothing extra to use good security for all files with AxCrypt 2, and by definition it thus reduces security.
I'm afraid I'm totally at odds with your statement "the frequent entering of that password increases the odds that it will be compromised" for a number of reasons. You don't have to enter it frequently! That's part of the design! You only enter it *once* per session. To make it convenient. We really believe convenient security solutions increase practical security as opposed to inconvenient theoretically stronger solutions. As for odds increasing, I don't really see it. Why would the odds of a password leak increase because it's the same one being entered once, instead of a multitude of passwords being entered all the time?
I've updated the blog with a paragraph on why the use of many passwords tends to decrease security. Of course, you may be that one in a thousand who can actually remember a number of 10+ character strong passwords and for what files they are used for. In that case, many passwords won't be harmful. But it won't be helpful either.
We're aiming to provide good, strong, practical easy to use security for the main stream users who do not know anything about cryptography, and don't want to know anything either. They just want to know that as long as no-one knows their passwords, their files are safe from scrutiny.
We think we do with AxCrypt 2.
All this being said, despite that you may feel we're not listening, we are. We are constantly evaluating options on how to satisfy as many users as possible while not compromising the overall goals and security of AxCrypt 2. What we're struggling with is how to provide the option to use different passwords, while not at the same time making it more complex with more options for the majority of users who really like the simplicity of the standard model and while also not encouraging bad security practices.
It's also a priority thing. Right now we feel mobile apps are more important to get out there, and we're just starting internal beta testing this week for both iOS and Android!

My first memories are of Sarasota, Florida in the winter quarters of the Ringling Brothers' Circus. I was one year old and remember it vividly. My father, an art student, was making extra income by repainting circus murals.
Spanish became my second language.
The people in the circus were my friends. I was bounced on the knee of the tallest man in the world and rocked in the arms of the fat lady who could not stand up. My first baby-sitters were a family of little people who lived in a trailer next to ours. They told me stories about the animals they worked with: Chi Chi the Chimpanzee, an elephant named Elder, and Gargantua the Gorilla.
My mother says I was a fast learner, always ahead of my age. My father taught me to swim before I could walk. I walked at seven months and climbed over a seven foot chain link fence when I was one year old. Everyone in the circus thought I was going to be a trapeze artist

It may not feel like October here in Virginia (sunny with highs in the upper 80s this past week and weekend!), but Halloween is just around the corner, so, during the month of October, I will be paying tribute, in the form of some quick covers, to some of the best spooky scores that feature the piano.
First up: Elmer Bernstein's Main Title from Ghostbusters, the classic accompaniment to Drs. Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler as they bumble around the New York Public Library, oozing with slime samples and snippy one-liners.

Ham band digipeaters on the International Space Station
Paul Wilson KI4PW
There was so much good discussion and interesting topics raised at last night's meeting. I feel we could have gone on for hours.
Anyway, as a followup to the discussion about working the ISS digipeater:
There is a TNC (terminal node controller) available for less than $100 that will enable a smartphone to decode and encode APRS (AX.25) data via bluetooth. I have one. It works great with my FT60 with land-based APRS digipeaters, but I never thought about using it via the ISS. A smartphone app or tablet app would be ideal for most people, since I would think most operators are using portable antennas to track the ISS and can't be tethered to a desktop machine. I use an app called APRSDroid.
Here's the TNC I have:
Here are a few links on ISS digipeater operations, but note the latest information (the third link) that the UHF digipeater on the ISS is not in service.
http://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html (NB: "current" info was posted 4/17/2017--nearly a year ago)
I'm not very experienced with satellite ops. I have listened to a few analog voice satellite passes, using my Arrow VHF/UHF antenna with the built-in duplexer. With CHIRP it's pretty easy to program my Yaesu FT60 or the Baofeng to operate on the uplink and downlink frequencies, and to program the five "pairs" to account for the Doppler shift during the pass.

Carrying on with its sports-themed Doodles, Google has launched a football game on its homepage which is sure to be a welcome distraction ahead of the weekend.
This week has seen computer users tackling the hurdles, canoeing and playing basketball and now they can take on the role of a goalkeeper.
The aim of the game is to save penalties by using the left and right cursors to move the player from side to side and the space bar to leap in the air.
There is no time limit in the game, you just keep going until the striker manages to put three goals past you.
Google's Doodles have been themed around the Olympics since the Games started on Friday July 27th.
The first showed five athletes from five different sports, while Saturday's celebrated archery.
The images over the following week focused on diving, fencing, gymnastics, field hockey, table tennis, shot put, synchronised swimming and the javelin before the first animated Doodle was released on Tuesday in the form of the hurdles game.
It is likely that Google will continue its sports-themed Doodles until the end of the Olympics, although it is not known if there are any more games in the pipeline.

"I can never go back there again... I can never risk hurting anyone ever again."
Azgar is the main character in Rage, one of the three stories featured in Tales of Sanctuary. He is a Druid, with a bear as a spiritbeast. He is the son of Vane, warrior of the Tribe of Skeld.
When Azgar was a child, he trained with his father in the ways of the warrior. His brother, Grey, looked up to him and thought of him as his role-model. Grey's faith in his brother was so great that he had no doubt in the fact that Azgar would be the stronger than anyone. Azgar's father also had faith in his son.
As the trainee Druid grew up, his training expanded to include keeping the village safe from wild beasts and spiritual studies. During these studies, Azgar noticed that he was blessed with a spiritbeast. To better channel these abilities and control them, he started fortifying his spirit and mind through meditation. But one day, he inadvertently transformed into a Werebear.
"I became a monster!"
Never before had the young Druid known such rage. This frightened him, so he ran to the only place of comfort, home. Unfortunately, Grey was there. Azgar, being fully possessed by the beast, hit his little brother. Realizing what he had done, the young druid came back to normal. When his father came inside the house, he saw a bleeding Grey, in the arms of Azgar. Fearing that he had killed his brother, Azgar ran away in shame. The people of the village searched for Azgar, but he hid afraid to face the consequences of his actions. He felt that he could never go back to his home, not wanting anyone else to get hurt because of him. Not even when he found his brother to be alive, only blinded by the hit, did he consider going back.
Azgar became the protector of the the woods, keeping the forces of evil out of the forest, his new home, and away from the village, his old home, fighting undead and other forces of corruption.
Long after he left home, as Azgar was sitting in a snow-covered cave by a lit fire, a child came to him to ask for help. The kid told him that Baal's Minions of Destruction were amassing for an attack on the village. The Druid was hesitant at first and proceeded to tell the reason why he couldn't go back to help the villagers. But when the child said to him that only a few guards remained at the village, the bulk of the warriors being off on an offensive, he changed his mind. When the villages defenses were penetrated, Azgar intervened.
He fought valiantly, using both his sword and his Werebear form. When he had nearly destroyed the attacking Minions, he was mortally wounded by a monsters spike. As he lay dying, his brother came up to him and told him that he had never blamed Azgar for what had happened and that the villagers that had been looking for him had just wanted to bring him home. Grey, holding his brother as he give his last breath, said that Azgar would always remain his brother and his hero and that his brother's name would always be honored for saving his village.
Due to his years of training with his father and on his own, Azgar is an extraordinary fighter. He can use his fist, his sword and his Werebear form to defeat great scores of enemies. As a youth, during his training he killed wild animals, including bears, with only a short-sword. As an exile, he singlehandedly defeated an undead invasion of the forest, without transforming. His fight with the Minions of Destruction attacking the village, which proved to be fatal, shows that he has mastered the Werebear form, and that he can use it to reap destruction upon his enemies.

Name your kid Generator
That's the request from lawmakers in blacked out Crimea to highlight their ordeal
Moscow: Lawmakers in Russia-occupied Crimea, which is grappling with a nearly two-week-long blackout, are suggesting parents name their newborn boys Generator to mark the ordeal.
Unknown attackers blew up electricity pylons in Ukraine on November 22, leaving the peninsula largely without power.
After Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014, it began building an underwater electricity cable system to Crimea from Russia's Krasnodar region, and Russia President Vladimir Putin travelled there on Wednesday to inaugurate the first delivery of Russian power.
Russian news agencies on Friday quoted local parliament speaker Vladimir Konstantinov suggesting that parents name their newborn girls Sveta, or 'light' in Russian, and boys 'Generator' to highlight the government's efforts to overcome the crisis.

It's very nice that you continue to look "at the flame" on this blog. With pleasure, I will tell you about the "Men's Physique training program." I will describe an exemplary food plan and highlight the main differences between beach bodybuilding and standard bodybuilding. Pleasant reading.
- What is Men's Physique?
- What is the difference between beach bodybuilding and the standard bodybuilding?
- What is similar between beach and standard bodybuilding?
- Training program
- Conclusion
Honestly, until recently, I myself did not quite understand what the Men's Physique is. Does it relate to weight? Or form? Is it something like a strongman?
It turned out to be easy. I began to delve into this topic, rereading the sea of information, delving into the training programs and the complexities of the leading representatives of this sport, looking through gigabytes of video. And, finally, I am ready to share with you my conclusions from a professional point of view, without bias, and complicated explanations.
What is Men's Physique?
It turns out that this is one of the offshoots of bodybuilding. It's like in religion. For example, Orthodoxy is a branch of Christianity, although there is also Catholicism, Protestantism.
It is also called beach bodybuilding. Why beach? Okay, let's imagine the beach together. What are the guys wearing? Melting, of course, but there are still some guys in shorts and swim trunks, hiding the lower part of the body, but giving breathing to the skin. It is in such shorts that representatives of this power sport work out.
Because of this peculiarity and difference from the main bodybuilding trend, the Men's Physique has undergone changes to the training programs. In contrast, athletes' physique does not involve too much muscularity or competitions and generally does not focus on their legs.
What is the difference between beach bodybuilding and standard bodybuilding?
As I said, unlike standard bodybuilding, beach bodybuilders can perform in long shorts – this is the first difference.
As a rule, standard bodybuilders devote most of his training to the upper body (the torso, arms, shoulders, neck), while the lower muscles don't receive much attention. This is the second difference.
The total body weight of beach bodybuilders is less than that of the usual "Arnold Classic" participants – this is the third difference. Read the article about the best exercises with dumbbells.
What is similar between beach and standard bodybuilding?
Both training programs include the same basic exercises and food recommendations.
Although the show of legs is allowed, because of the greater anabolic response and lack of focus on body symmetry, beach bodybuilders continue to train their legs, but that's not the main focus.
In spite of the fact that the legs of beach bodybuilders are not in the priority, their shins are still seen from under the shorts – and they are rock hard.
It has been said: "The rich have their quirks." It would seem, well, that standard bodybuilders work to pump up their legs fully. Why resort to such inconvenience? And for what? Do you agree with me?
An approximate training program in Men's Physique
A special feature of the program is that it can be supplemented or customized, if needed. But do not forget that the exercises must be performed in this order to maximize muscle development.
Men's PhysiqueDo not forget about the warm-up at the beginning of the training (about 10 minutes), and about the cool-down. This will not only warm up the muscles and prepare joints, but also help stabilize the body's systems.
It is also worth noting that the training is built on the principle of smaller to bigger. That is, intensity training starts from the easiest and ends with the heaviest. This is due to the fact that you will rest more on the weekend. The body will have time to recover.
You can also break this program into four training days, the last of which is to focus on your legs, abdomen, and sides.
Chest and triceps
- Bench press lying on an incline bench – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- The abdomen in the Hammer machine is 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- Arms in the "Butterfly" machine – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- Push-ups on the uneven bars – 4-5 sets, each with 10-12 repetitions;
- French press – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 reps.
- Abdominal exercises.
Back and biceps
- Thrust rod in the slope – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- Thrust of the upper block to the chest and behind the head – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- Squats with a barbell – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- Thrust of the lower block is 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- Flexion of arms with a barbell on the biceps – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- Concentrated arm bending – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions.
- Exercise at the waist.
Shoulders (legs optional)
- Army press standing – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 reps;
- Arnold's wrestling – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 reps;
- Army press of the neck – 2-3 sets, in each of 12-15 reps;
- Lifting dumbbells at the sides – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions;
- Lifting dumbbells through the sides in the slope – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 reps;
- Squats with a barbell or Romanian thrust.
- Leg presses.
- Dumbbell slopes to the sides – 5-6 sets, in each of 12-15 repetitions.
As we can see, the beach training program differs from the standard, but insignificantly. Although, the feature of the Men's Physique program is the number of approaches and repetitions in one exercise. I would like to stress once again that exercises, principles, and nutrition remain the same. I hope you liked the Men's Physique program of training. Read the article about Rowing simulator.
I would be grateful if you share this article with your friends through social networks. Be sure to write your opinions in the comments below. All for now. Go in for sports and your health.

To continue with our theme of analysing reality TV shows, we thought we'd look at the twitter data for Strictly Come Dancing, which has its final show this weekend.
Whereas the X Factor resulted in almost one quarter of a million tweets on a single Saturday night for analysis, Strictly has a much lower tweet count, with almost 25,000 tweets being made over the past week, including last weekend.
Will this affect our analysis? Only time will tell. However clear trends in the data can be seen, and if we repeat the analysis that we undertook for the X Factor, then likely ordering based on twitter data is:
- Matt Baker
- Kara Tointon
- Pamela Stephenson
So this has Matt Baker as the clear favourite. However if we look at their dancing partners, who are not celebrities, then we see a different ordering:
- Artem
- James
- Aliona
The number of tweets of the celebrities is much greater than that of their dancing partners, so this difference is unlikely to affect the result. However it does show that if people could vote for the dancing partner only, then it might result in a different winner.
We will repeat the analysis tomorrow to see if there are any late surges by any of the contestants.

Toxic Trespass
Barri Cohen's filmic crusade for children's health, Toxic Trespass, starts with her 10-year-old daughter, Ada, announcing the results of her "body burden" blood test for chemical substances at a press conference. She says: "I am polluted." The results are dreadful for one so young, yet no one can reassure Ada about the consequences that these poisons will have on her health. From the outset, Toxic Trespass criticizes the government's inability to establish safe levels for chemical levels in blood, especially given the ever-escalating rate of childhood cancers.
Despite reluctance to identify "toxic clusters"—areas of higher incidence—environmental causes are said to be responsible for ninety-five percent of cancers (as opposed to genetic causes). The geographical focus of the documentary is the larger Great Lakes Basin and in order to draw conclusions, Cohen explores Windsor, Canada, a city located across the river from Detroit. Windsor is known for high levels of airborne toxins because of the numerous heavy metal industries concentrated in one area (foundries, etc.), but Cohen also interviews people who denounce vehicle emissions (Windsor is Canada's busiest border crossing) and other possible contributing factors.
The great strength of the documentary is that children, dissenting scientists, women, and Native American groups are given a voice. Cohen focuses on the Aamjiwnaang First Nation near Sarnia, Ontario, a city to which eighty percent of petrochemical products used in the world can be linked, located across the river from Port Huron, Michigan. The Chippewa Land is surrounded by large chemical multinationals located in "Chemical Valley." Mercury levels in the community's water were found to be 100 times higher than established government thresholds. Here Cohen confirms studies corroborating that pollutants provoke endocrinal disruption and skew the sex ratio in births, inhibiting the production of male embryos in mothers and/or affecting the Y-chromosome in sperm.
In her investigation of contaminants, Cohen also criticizes the use of pesticides for cosmetic reasons, introducing Jean-Dominic Lévesque-René, a lymphoma survivor from Quebec who has been fighting for recognition of environmental toxins causing childhood illnesses since his diagnosis at the age of ten in 1994. In 2001, he was recognized by the U.N. Environment Programme for his outstanding contributions to the protection of the environment.
Exposing the government's "4D" strategy with regards to public information on environmental problems—deny, delay, divide and discredit—Cohen suggests collusion with industry in keeping information from the public, and especially challenges the general tendency to minimize or deny possible environmental effects of pollution on citizens. She does not hide her bias, recognizes her own responsibility in her daughter's contamination (i.e., bottles, toys), but manages to leave spectators with optimism by showing impassioned citizens fighting to make their communities safer.
People who have seen documentaries on environmental causes of cancer, such as Toxic Bust or Rachel's Daughters: Searching for the Causes of Breast Cancer, will note similarities with these films, even though it does not exclusively deal with breast cancer. Producer Dorothy Goldin-Rosenberg previously examined breast cancer in Exposure: Environmental Links to Breast Cancer.
Mixing historical footage on chemical production, home videos, interviews, and didactic "toxic facts," this exceptional documentary is of a quality typical of Canada's NFB and, among other prizes, received a Canadian Screenwriting Award by the Writers' Guild of Canada in 2008.

According to the ineffable authority that is Time Magazine, Sony's PlayStation 3 is a bust. Its verdict:
The big story in computer games this year was HOW TO BLOW A HUGE LEAD, by Sony. Its PlayStation 2 was the champ in the last round of the console wars. This time Sony bet on a chip called the Cell and a disc format called Blu-ray. They're probably awesome, but how would anybody know? The PS3 is hideously expensive–it goes for up to $600–and Sony manufactured only a piddling few hundred thousand for the U.S., fewer for Japan. Plus it's hard to write games for; the launch titles were lame. You know you're in trouble when you get beat by something called a Wii.
While there is complete legitimacy to that statement, I find myself compelled to criticize the comment because Time also calls "Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip" a bust, which is easily the best fall show. And I don't know if you knew this, but it also named me person of the year. Now I'm flattered by it all, but to be perfectly honest, I might be the least accomplished person to ever have the honor bestowed upon them. Yea sure I'm young and have my whole life to accomplish "things," but I would have preferred that they waited until I was older, and actually deserving, before being given the title.

Get ready for the perfect blend of high-performance aerial excitement, and crystal clear video/photographic imaging from the stunning Yuneec Typhoon Q500+ 3-Axis Gimbal and 1080p 5.8GHz 10CH RTF Camera RC Drone! This exciting new RC Camera Drone comes equipped with a 1080p, 60FPS, 16 Megapixel CGO2+ Camera. The CGO2+ utilizes an innovative combination of a 3-axis brushless gimbal, camera, and digital video downlink, all controlled by the ST-10+ 5.5" Android touch screen ground station. An Aluminum case will keep your drone safe and your accessories organized. The personal ground system provides live feed as well as all the necessary data. Not only does the Typhoon come with impressive hardware, it also offers three easy to use flight modes. Capturing top of the line footage has never been easier than with the Typhoon G500+ and CGO2+ 3-axis gimbal system. What more could you ask for? Get yours today!
ST10+ Personal Ground Station
The ST10+ personal ground station is a 10CH 2.4GHz RC transmitter that supports a 5.8GHz video downlink that delivers streaming video to the built-in screen of the transmitter. Real time telemetry data available on the screen during flight includes flight mode, altitude, speed over ground, distance from home, camera frames per second (FPS), GPS position coordinates, number of GPS satellites available and aircraft battery status.
Flight Modes
Once the Q500 Typhoon is in the air it is really fun to fly. It has three modes to choose from"known as Smart, Angle and Home depending on your skill as a pilot. Each mode is intuitive and easy to grasp.
- Smart Mode
Smart Mode is for new fliers, as it uses the drone's built-in GPS to establish a 26 feet (8 meters) diameter "SAFE Circle" around the pilot. In Smart Mode, the Q500 will always move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the pilot. If you push the stick to the left the Q500 will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing. In this mode, the Q500 will also hold its position and maintain a level attitude when the control stick is centered. Finally, there is also a "geo-fence" or virtual 'barrier' that will keep the Q500 from traveling farther than 300 feet (91 meters) from the home or takeoff position.
- Pilot or Angle Mode
Pilot or Angle Mode is all about aerial videography. It is the mode preferred by experienced RC/drone pilots because the Q500 will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft. It also gives the pilot more control authority by turning off the SAFE Circle and allowing steeper bank and pitch angles. This makes it possible to get faster panning and tracking shots when you're shooting high-energy, action video. There is no "geo-fence" in Pilot Mode so the aircraft will fly to an altitude of 400 feet above ground level, which is the maximum altitude allowed by the Federal Aviation Authority.
- Home Mode
Home Mode is a safety feature that can be activated at any time with the simple flip of a switch. When activated, the Q500 Typhoon will automatically return to its "home point" and land within a 10 feet circle (3 meters) of where it took off. It's great for first-time flyers who aren't quite ready to land the aircraft themselves or experienced pilots who lose sight of the aircraft. If for whatever reason the transmitter signal is lost, Return Home will take over and fly the Q500 back to you until it lands or the signal is restored.
CGO2+ Camera
While the Q500 offers a superior flying experience, it is the quality of the video and still images that sets it apart. The CGO2+ combines a 16 megapixel, 1080p/60FPS camera and a 3-axis brushless gimbal into a single unit that captures smooth, steady aerial video and still images in vivid detail. A built-in 5.8GHz WiFi link lets you control the camera and view streaming video of your flight on the screen of the ST10+ personal ground station.
You can choose to record video at 48, 50 (PAL) or 60 (NTSC) frames per second by tapping the corresponding button on the screen of the ST10. A slider located on the left side of the ST10+ allows you to set the pitch/tilt position of the CGO2+ from straight ahead to straight down or any position in between.
With the Q500 Typhoon it's never been easier to capture amazing photographs and video footage for a wide variety of uses. With nearly two decades of experience in developing radio controlled and manned aircraft, Yuneec's engineers have delivered the extended flight time, ease of operation and reliability you've been looking for in an aerial video solution.

5 Reasons why women must save for retirement
Saving for retirement is challenging—but studies show it's actually tougher for women, who all too often find themselves living in poverty during retirement. Females face unique challenges in terms of saving for retirement: they might be home care-givers and not have their own paying jobs, they could take time off work to raise children, and they are also projected to live longer (thus more expensive) lives than males.
Alexander Forbes Financial Planning Consultants senior financial planner Mandy Porter unpacks some insights for us. Here are five reasons why women must save for retirement.
Long-lasting financial independence for women
Women are expected to live longer than men. Whether that's good or bad, depends entirely on which side of the looking glass you're on. Since women can expect to outlive the men in their lives, the prospect of having a lengthier retirement and outliving their assets is great. Knowing that the longevity factor does not tip in our favor, we would be wise to be proactive in our retirement planning.
Caring for the caregiver
Taking time off work to be a caregiver for their spouse, aged family member or children negatively impacts a woman's ability to save for retirement. The need for additional financial support should therefore be part of every woman's future retirement plan. It's also advisable that a woman puts away enough money to see them through if they plan to take a break from their full-time career at some point.
Lower annual retirement incomes
Women may be saving, but they are not saving enough. Misinformation can be dangerous, so be sure to speak to a financial planner if you resign, or find yourself retrenched or dismissed. They will give you the best advice on what to do with your retirement savings to keep them growing for you. Saving for your future needs is after all, your first priority if you want to retire with dignity one day.
For better or for worse: ageing single
Research suggests that women will outlive men by up to six years. As widowhood commonly leads to loss of income, it may be an idea to take out life insurance on your spouse in the event that there is a death. Alexander Forbes can assist you with comprehensive life cover that takes your every financial need into account – including loss of income through disability, retirement, or the expense of taking care of critical illnesses.
Greater healthcare costs
With longevity being the biggest risk facing women, they need to maintain healthier lifestyle habits, such as a proper diet, regular exercise and preventative care. However, health challenges are part and parcel of life – and one should always be able to afford good medical care in case of need.
As a woman, saving, especially for retirement, should start early and continue throughout your lifetime.
The above reasons can place women at a disadvantage when it comes to having enough money for retirement. The solution is for women to simply save more. Trying to save more money when you earn less than your male co-workers can be difficult, but it's not impossible. It's what you do with that money that matters. Planning ahead is the key for women. If you're having trouble starting to save for retirement and aren't sure what to do, consulting a financial planner may be the best option.

Your Adelaide hypnotherapist will use hypnosis to gain access to the unconscious mind so that they can find solutions to issues that the conscious mind has been unable to deal with.
For example, if you have a fear or a phobia, anxiety or lack confidence, this is most likely due to an experience that transpired early in your life. This may not have been anything bad, but as a child, you viewed it in a certain way. You might have forgotten all about it, but whatever it was, it has kept you running on this program throughout your life, and so certain situations and events will trigger a reaction in you.
One of the huge advantages of using hypnosis or hypnotherapy is that it will get to the root of the problem and sort it out very quickly indeed.
Another benefit is that while in hypnosis, your unconscious mind is very receptive to positive suggestions. Therefore, Liza Perks can help you to reframe the way you think and feel about things, replacing negativity with positive thoughts and feelings which are more compliant for you.
Hypnosis is an altered and heightened state and sometimes referred to as a trance state.
You slip in and out of trance states throughout the day. For example, when you day-dream, driving and even watching a movie. This is when you are at your most relaxed and comfortable. This is also the time when your best ideas come to mind.
There are two components to the mind, the conscious and the unconscious. Their explanation is very simple:
It is the component of your mind that reasons and makes decisions. It acts as a filter to thoughts and suggestions, deciding whether to keep them in the forefront of your mind, or dismiss them altogether. When a thought or suggestion is put 'on hold,' it goes straight to the unconscious mind where it is filed away.
The unconscious mind is a filing cabinet for your thoughts. Amongst other things, it houses all the information your conscious gives it to store, like recollections and things it cannot deal with immediately.
Before your hypnosis sessions, it is recommended that you have a Free Initial Consultation.
The initial consultation is a free session that lasts approximately 20 minutes and gives your hypnotherapist an opportunity to assess what you want to achieve and your personal desires.
Everything is explained to you during the first session so you will know what to expect. Liza will discuss your challenges and take a complete medical history.
Liza, your hypnotherapist, will explain how the brain works, how a problem is created and how hypnosis can help you to overcome your obstacles or difficulties, as well as discuss how many sessions you are likely to need.
Liza will then will assist you into hypnosis.
You may not even realize that you are in hypnosis, until you awaken from the deep state; then it will be clear, because you will feel so relaxed. In fact, many clients have said that it is the best relaxation they have ever experienced.
Usually, during subsequent sessions your Adelaide hypnotherapist will help you into hypnosis, and together will gently search into your past to find information that will help you to understand why you have a 'challenge/s'.
As you relax you will be able to put these experiences into perspective as you release the anchors from your past..
Enhanced Life Coaching in Adelaide use a combination of Hypnosis and various Neuro-Linguistic-Programming techniques designed to help you focus on solutions for the future, rather than analysing difficulties from the past.
Hypnotherapy can help you achieve your goals by collaborating with Liza Perks; together she will identify where you want to be and how to get there. Liza commences each session with a discussion designed to encourage you to think positively. This component of the course uses techniques that allows you to focus on how you want things to be in your life, rather than focusing on what you don't want.
Once this is established and you have a clear idea of your preferred future, they will consolidate the steps you need to achieve positive change, and merge that positivity.
The suggestions Liza shares with you during this part of your therapy will enable the unconscious part of your mind to make that preferred future a reality.
Using Hypnosis for weight loss as an example:
You already know what you need to do to maintain your ideal weight, So what's stopping you? There could be a whole host of reasons why.
Maybe, your life is so busy and hectic that you do not have time to shop for healthier fresh food or prepare it, let alone savour it.
You may have feelings of low self-esteem, which can lead to you developing self-sabotaging behaviour. You might have unhelpful beliefs around food, such as needing to eat everything on your plate.
Hypnotherapy can find your motivation by helping you to make positive changes, as you think and feel about yourself and the world.
This will help you to manage your weight. To do this, Liza collaboratse and address the underlying stresses that obstruct you making excuses around food, exercise etc.
However, it can only help if you make an effort to do something different, so be ready to make changes. It is worth remembering that hypnosis is not a "do-to process", it is a "do-with process", and they aim for steady, sustainable weight loss.
Hypnotherapy can help with these issues, but it is not a magic wand. You will not be able to lose weight unless you change what you eat or take more exercise, preferably both.
With some one-off sessions they may not need to probe into your past at all. For example, you might just want some hypnosis for relaxation purposes, or because you have an event coming up, such as an exam or a driving test. If this is the case, you will probably only need one or two sessions for some relaxation, and useful suggestions to give your confidence a boost and to help you focus.
During all hypnotherapy treatments, you will be aware of everything going on around you, and you will easily be able to talk and interact with your practitioner.
You cannot be made to do or say anything that your unconscious mind does not want you to do, as it will reject any suggestions that do not fit with your values or sense of personal wellbeing.
Furthermore, you are in complete control because you can come out of hypnosis whenever you want – simply open your eyes!
Hypnotherapy is a safe, brief and effective way to deal with many emotional and anxiety-related issues. It enables you to deal with your mental challenges and blocks so that you can build on your strengths and take control of your life.
Hypnotherapy is a collaboration between you and your hypnotherapist. Nobody can make you do anything that you do not agree to do, and no-one can hypnotise you against your will, as your unconscious mind will reject any suggestions that are against your own beliefs.
Hypnotherapy works by bypassing the conscious mind, where our logical processes take place. Suggestions are made to your unconscious mind, the component of your brain responsible for your patterns.
Through hypnotherapy, a state of productive focus, enables changes to be made permanently.
By utilizing positive imagery and suggestion, Liza suggests you to concentrate and focus on what you want; changing negative to positive outcomes to any given event.
