Straight to the point :- I am a frequent train traveller and experienced few problems like finding connections like if I am going to Attend ssb Kolkata and want to connect with the same people it's almost impossible RN but if we create an community app like reddit where pssgnrs of same train can chat with each other make new friends and share their problems can invite others to play sing with them also if you have any problem ofcourse u have rail madad but help of a co passenger who knows u will be like a family person.
The main goal is to connect the people inside the train for quick discussions and problem sharing also for random discussion And we can generate income via so many routes if this is gonna work out
I am ready with the idaetion part and thinking of starting an real time Android app in bubble using no code.( Thinking of building an MVP)
Pls feel free to share your insights and if anyone wants to collaborate feel free to DM me. Any help is appreciated.

Hi All.
I've just begun researching Six Sigma certifications, and with so many different organizations and so many different levels it's all a bit confusing. Based on what I've read, I think I'm most interested in the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification but it's hard to tell whether ASQ (my preferred org) offers this certification. I found on their site a listing for LSSGB training but nothing about certification. Can someone provide me with any insight into this? Are the trainings for LSSGB & SSGB the same? Is there a certificate distinction? If ASQ offers LSSGB certification, can someone point me to a link?
Any guidance would be welcome!

Unless you're already in the trade and looking to upskill then these courses are an absolute con..... would you trust someone to work in your property after a 6 month course that was based in a classroom and requires some photos of you pretending to do some work on site??
What they don't tell you is that when you come out.... no one will employ you. Because no one is that stupid. Without any experience you won't get a job!!!!!!
So you can work for yourself????? Enjoy the legal battles when it all goes wrong because you flooded some poor old lady's house out because they taught you how to connect a cooker. But not drain a system down properly.
There is a reason it takes 4 years the traditional way...... on site with experienced engineers. These courses do nothing but teach you how to pass a test. When in reality it's hands on experience that you need.
When I did an apprenticeship it was 1 day a week at college and 4 days on site...... it was the 4 days where you really learnt and practiced your craft.
Just read real reviews online of people that have done this training. Or from BPEC, the awarding body for apprenticeships. Or from anyone that isn't affiliated with these centres.
Unsuspecting victims come out with a certificate that cost a fortune and no job what so ever. Just try and get a gas job online........ they will all give a minimum term of experience required....... These centres should be ashamed of themselves.
They are diluting the industry with cowboys that don't have a clue. Its already bad enough and gas safe is there to protect customers.
Anyone that goes on these courses and thinks and think they can walk out with a fancy new certificate and earn £50k a year are delusional.

Tapas Part 2 - The Path of Fire & Brilliance

Alright fellas, here is Part 2 of the post on tapas and tejas. Part 1 recap :

• Tapas is the practice performing intense spiritual austerities so as to create an internal heat or friction that burns away the gunk clouding up your nervous system, so that you can speed up the process of self-evolution.
• Syntropy, which is the opposite of entropy (chaos, disorder, death and decay), describes how a system is able to conserve, increase and synchronize energy within itself, which is the reason why you get so many benefits from semen retention. Yoga, meditation and tapas all increase syntropy as well.
• By the practice of tapas, one is able to ignite the sexual energy cultivated through semen retention into tejas, an "inner radiance, fearlessness, majesty, and authority".

In Part 1 I listed topics that would be covered in this post, things like limbic friction and training the "go/no go circuits" in the brain, and while these are important topics, they simply explain a modern scientific take on how tapas is beneficial.
But let's get spicy with things, shall we?
I cut that stuff and will instead be giving you additional posts after this one, all about methods to dive deeper into tapas, in order to cultivate tejas, that fiery, magnetic luster and radiance that sages throughout the ages emitted.
I will post the parts I cut in a comment in case anyone is interested.
This post will cover :

• How tapas flips the script on craving, demolishing any chance of succumbing to the urge to masturbate;
• A small section on lifestyle tapas vs. tapas proper;
• Why yoga is the most powerful means of tapas, especially to create abundant tejas, with a deep dive on the science behind this;
• New, advanced yogic techniques I've never discussed, not even in the book I wrote.

Part 3 will cover :

• The power of resolves, how these build confidence in oneself, and how they increase testosterone and rewire the brain to be oriented towards success;
• Why proper meditation is the highest form of syntropy, of gathering, retaining and harmonizing energy within;
• A style of meditation that quickly leads to profound states of concentration and bliss;
• The relationship between higher states of meditation, orgasm, and tantric sex, and how higher states of meditation create the same bliss of orgasm, magnified many times over and lasting minutes to hours, without any loss of semen or energy. It is peak syntropy, bliss untold, with no downsides.

Part 4 will cover :

• The importance of disciplining oneself with ethics, and how it is both foundational to success in meditation, as well as a powerful form of tapas;
• A type of meditation on fire itself that quickly builds powerful levels of concentration and can even lead to some trippy experiences. And of course, it greatly increases syntropy and tejas.

Sound spicy? Let's get to it.

Tapas and Craving

What's goal number one for a retainer? Overcoming the urge to watch porn and masturbate. That urge is but a small part of the way the mind craves things in general.
That craving aspect of the mind is known as tanha within Buddhism, where they aim to uproot it completely. Tanha also entails the flip side of craving, known as aversion - they are really two sides of the same coin.
Instead of going through life trying to fill every craving demand the mind makes (and they are endless), what if you just got rid of craving altogether? The goal isn't to throw out decisiveness or willpower or even enjoyment, but wanton, needless, constant craving, for empty dopamine-wasting pointless pursuits - like masturbation, scrolling apps, junk food, distraction, etc.
Every time you want to view porn and/or masturbate, or waste time on apps, or use substances, or check out from the life you're actually living, that’s tanha knocking on your door.
And what do all these things do to us retainers? They waste energy, they are entropic, they are the opposite of syntropy.
Tanha is the virus in your mind preventing you from being happy and at peace right here, right now. If you’ve been following along in the Craving series, so far we’ve :

• Upgraded our mental software by installing the mindfulness program in Part 1;
• We’ve made good use of impermanence, or the "Anicca Algorithm" to deal another blow to tanha/craving in Part 2;
• We’ve also begun to develop the noble quality of equanimity, that steady, non-reactivity in the mind that helps us endure hardship and not get suckered into chasing pleasures in Part 3.

Tapas is the practice of laughing in the face of tanha. You delight in saying no to cravings, and you delight in pushing into discomfort.
Discomfort becomes your new playground.

“So now I will go
I will go on into the struggle,
This is to my mind delight;
This is where my mind finds bliss.” - Sutta Nipata

Tapas flips the script on tanha, it is the direct opposite of tanha!
Instead of mindlessly chasing empty stimulation (craving) and running from the slightest discomforts (aversion), we willingly dive into and explore discomfort and avoid the mindless, empty stimulation.
Simply put, the feeling of discomfort is your signal to go, the feeling of craving is your signal to pause, refrain and hold back.
When it comes to tapas, craving finds no footing.

"Whatever happiness is found in sensual pleasures,
And whatever there is in heavenly bliss
These are not worth 1/16th-part
Of the happiness that comes from cravings end." - The Buddha, Udana Sutta 2.2

Lifestyle Tapas vs Tapas Proper

Understand that if you want to start developing real tejas, your practice of tapas will necessarily have to entail ramping up and intensifying your sadhana, your yoga/mediation/spiritual practice. Not every guy has a spiritual or interior discipline like yoga, qi gong, intense prayer or meditating (I can't recommend it enough, though), so lets delineate tapas into two categories -

• Tapas proper, meaning intensifying your spiritual practice;
• And lifestyle tapas, or pushing yourself in anything that isn't an interior discipline.

Lifestyle tapas is powerful, there is no doubt. And it is absolutely necessary for us to cultivate, as we have way too much access to highly stimulating, highly rewarding dopamine-wasters. Lifestyle tapas will create some degree of internal heat and resistance too, so I'm certainly not knocking it.
But understand that if you want the kind of tapas that lights your heart, body, mind, soul, sexual energy and entire life ablaze, ablaze with an abundance of fiery, radiant tejas, it will necessarily have to be tapas proper.

Sadhana as Tapas

The highest form of tapas is, of course, your sadhana, your spiritual practice.
This is the only way to skyrocket syntropy, gathering all energies within and creating large amounts of inner friction, giving you abundant tejas.
Doing the tough stuff like ice baths and saunas, or working out, or feeling the resistance to clean your apartment and then doing it anyway is all fantastic stuff, as is avoiding scrolling on apps, or eating pints of Ben & Jerry's while getting your money's worth from Netflix.
But none of that really compares to upping your spiritual practice. Why? Because yoga is itself highly purifying and highly syntropic, so increasing the time spent purifying the body-mind while increasing the energy within is going to pay off much more quickly than cleaning out your garage and deleting TikTok.
The asanas (physical postures) of yoga :

• Squeeze and massage your endocrine glands, helping to regulate their output of hormones, the chemical messengers that control your body :
  • You know, androgenic hormones like testosterone and the more powerful dihydrotestosterone coming from the testes and adrenals (many postures affect adrenals, while the headstand/shoulder stand affects the pituitary gland which regulates hormonal production in the testes through luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormones);
  • muscle-building, fat-burning and age-retarding human growth hormone and IGF-1 coming from the pituitary (headstand, shoulder stand, khechari mudra);
  • energizing and metabolism-regulating thyroid hormones (shoulder stand, jalandhara bandha);
  • sleep-regulating and anti-aging, cancer-preventing melatonin from the pineal gland (headstand, shoulder stand, khechari mudra, trataka, brahmari pranayama);
  • immune factors from the thymus (spinal twists, forward bends and back bends);
  • energizing adrenaline and the "stress hormone" cortisol from the adrenals (many asanas affect adrenals - by lowering cortisol, more DHEA/pregnenolone is available to be used to create testosterone/dihydrotestosterone - see the pregnenolone steal);
  • all of these hormones need to be released at the right times in the right amounts, and yoga asanas help dial in this system!
• Asanas also stretch, compress and relax the nerves of your nervous system. What do nerves do? Carry energy and information to and from the brain. I mean this in the least new-agey way possible, they literally transmit your lifeforce, your prana. By improving the health of your nervous system, you improve the ability of energy to flow throughout your entire body-mind system. This is part of what I mean when I say "gunk gets cleared from the system" - you will begin to perceive things in a much more clear, beautiful way - much like when we were children.
• Asanas help massage important nerve plexuses as well, which are like electrical junction boxes including the pelvic floor plexus, sacral plexus, solar plexus, brachial plexus and cervical plexus, as well as regulating the all-important vagus nerve. Wouldn't you know it, these all align with the major chakras, as do the above mentioned endocrine glands.
• Asanas also balance the two branches of your nervous system - the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, or the fight-flight-freeze branch and the rest-and-digest branch. We are chronically stressed as a society, and all that stress wastes precious sexual energy, precious jing, precious ojas, and if remember from the previous post, you need sufficient sexual energy/ojas to even begin creating tejas in the first place.
• Asanas clear out blockages in your energy body, your pranamaya kosha. If you plan on cultivating any of these energies, be it sexual energy, prana or tejas, you need your pranamaya kosha cleared of blockages. If that sounds too "woo-woo" for you-you, just shelve the idea for now. If you seriously practice yoga you may just find that you come to experience these things in time - you can leave it as "to be determined". Chakras are less about having pretty colored lights in your spine and more about them being power transformers that can handle more and more prana.

Those are just some of the benefits to asanas - they also improve digestion, improve heart-rate variability, improve the functioning of the all important vagus nerve, improve muscle functioning, improve flexibility and balance, provide a much needed cleansing of the lymphatic fluid, as well as a much needed wringing of your fascia, the sensory-rich connective tissue holding the entire body together.
By bringing your entire body into balance, asanas increase syntropy big time, meaning more energy gained, less energy lost, and all that energy is now able to flow smoothly through the system.
What about pranayama, the breathing practices? Glad you asked :

• Pranayama is highly purifying to the nervous system. Moreso than the nervous system, it helps clear up blockages in your pranamaya kosha, your energy body.
• Once these blockages start to be removed, not only will the higher faculties of mind be awakened, along with you being able to perceive subtler layers of mind and reality, but you'll be able to handle more prana altogether. It's like upping the amps of electrical wires - the higher the amps, the more power the wire can transmit. Pretty essential when what we're all doing with semen retention is cultivating increased amounts of energy, whether we knew that was the case or not. A good deep dive on this topic is covered in the post Can You Handle the Power?
• These blockages are in certain energy channels and in chakras themselves, and the blockages keep your consciousness trapped at lower levels :
  • The person who is only operating from the first two chakras is only interested in survival and egoic/sexual desires - let's face it, that's most people;
  • If he were to activate the third chakra, he would tap into his great storehouse of prana, coming into his own power and being able to make decisive decisions, with the power and strength to achieve them;
  • If he were to further activate the fourth chakra, the barriers between self and other begin to fade. The whole world becomes his kingdom, and he would start thinking about ways to help others, opening up new vistas of goodwill, compassion, and providing for others like a king;
  • The fifth chakra is concerned with ideas and their effective expression, as well as a highly discerning awareness and discrimination, with the dualities of life becoming harmonized, allowing one to flow smoothly and roll with the punches;
  • And so on for higher chakras.
• Remember how tapas is all about creating an inner friction? Pranayama is perhaps the foremost way to do so - one technique, called nadi shodhana, shifts energy alternatively through negatively charged and positively charged channels, creating an alternating current; while spinal breathing moves energy from negatively charged chakra to a positively charged chakra. See here.
• Pranayama greatly helps to improve heart-rate variability, improve the functioning of the vagus nerve, and balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, all of which equal a calmer, healthier, more robust you. Your HRV is critical to the "feel" of the energy you radiate, as I covered back in Part 3 - Strengthening Your Aura and Personal Magnetism.
• Breathing exercises improve oxygenation of the body, as well as your ability to tolerate Co2. The higher Co2 tolerance you have, the calmer you'll be, the more energy and endurance you'll have, as well as less inflammation and lower chance of depression. Co2 tolerance is a very important aspect to pranayama practice.
• Cultivating prana through pranayama means you will have abundant energy, plain and simple. You're plugging yourself into the wall socket of the universe :
  • One of the ways this occurs is through absorption of negative ions, which have a range of positive effects on health, including increasing energy levels;
  • Pranayama also boosts energy due to transient hypoxia boosting mitochondrial biogenesis, or the creation of new, healthy mitochondria. More and healthier mitochondria = more energy, plain and simple.

The benefits go on and on and on...
Never mind the benefits of the more advanced practices of kriyas, mudras and bandhas, which help move, seal and lock prana in certain parts of the body.
And then there's the meditation....
If you still think yoga is just for soccer moms, I have news for you my man - you are missing out on a MASSIVE source of syntropy and energy cultivation!
This has nothing to do with religion or with new-agey stuff- this has everything to do with diving deep into a scientific practice where the only goals are radiant health and directed self-evolution. It is only "spiritual" in the sense that it is a dimension of life that is ignored and shunned by modern society - but it is our birthright.
And the people running this shit show don't want you keyed in to this, because they don't want free thinking people who have seen through the flimsy facade The Matrix. They want mindless, indoctrinated, herd-mentality worker drones. How could you ever buy into "The System" when you come to the realization that you are a being of infinite capacity playing in a benevolent universe, a universe that in actuality is your very Self?
Ok, I guess I did get a little spiritual there. But just as cultivating sexual energy through semen retention opened up a new, "missing" dimension to your life, so too are gorgeous valleys and stunning vistas of your own being waiting to be tapped into, opened up, and lived from.
So if you don't have a "spiritual" practice, or an interior discipline, now is your time to start. If you do have one, now is the time to up the ante.
Some ideas for your upping the tapas of your sadhana -

• Meditate consistently every day if you’re new to meditation;
• Increase the time or better yet, add a second sit if you’re already consistent;
• Commit to a daily yoga practice (meaning asanas and pranayama) if you haven’t yet;
• Adding more asanas (yoga postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises) if you already are consistent;
• Getting up before dawn to do 1000 recitations of your mantra;
• Increasing the devotional aspects of your practice, called bhakti yoga, and/or the self-inquiry side of things, called jnana yoga;
• Recall how semen retention, called brahmaharya in yoga, is more than mere celibacy - it is the "wise use of energy", and entails keeping it within, not wasting it on meaningless external pursuits.

Don't overwhelm yourself with these suggestions. Just get started if you don't have an internal discipline yet, and intensify your practice if you do have one.
Truly, the most effective tapas you can do for abundant tejas is to have a consistent yoga routine, meaning you do the physical postures, followed by pranayama, followed by meditation.
Every. Single. Day.
Check out the basic yoga routine I laid out in this post (up the rounds of sun salutations if you're feeling frisky), follow it up with 1-3 rounds of kapalabhati or bhastrika pranayama, and end with 20-30 minutes of metta meditation. You can also break it up and do the postures and pranayama in the morning, and meditate at night.
Commit to one month of this yoga routine and tell me you don't notice a massive change. Commit to two months of this daily yoga routine and tell me everyone around you doesn't notice the change.
And then, once you get consistent with your practice, remember that if you want to dive deeper into tapas and gain more tejas, you must regularly push the envelope. Start slow and focus on consistency. Once you're consistent, stick with a routine for a few weeks/a couple months to see how it benefits you, and then add something new.
The name of the game is starting slow, being consistent, and adding more techniques/intensity once you feel the time is ready. If you don't have a practice, simply beginning a basic yoga routine with one or two pranayamas is plenty.
Charging up your sadhana with tapas is what will give you an abundance of tejas, or "inner luster, radiance, majesty". Don’t expect much, if any, tejas from lifestyle tapas, from simply doing your chores and taking a break from Instagram. That is still important, of course.

Advanced Yoga Techniques

Alright, enough about the benefits. Let's discuss some powerful, fire-activating, tejas-producing yogic techniques.
First and foremost, having a foundational routine of asanas, pranayama and meditation is already a powerful form of tapas, and is going to produce plenty of tejas. This needs to be your starting point. There's no sense adding fuel to the fire when you haven't even lit the fire yet, so spend a few months consistently dialing in your yoga practice before adding these in.
The basic asana routine I have already laid out, plus the four pranayamas I've discussed in previous posts are going to create quite a bit of heat and friction in your body-mind already. I will link to those posts at the end, as well as some videos to other yoga routines, instead of detailing them again here.
Don't think of the following practices as shortcuts to tejas - they are enhancers for when you've already got the ball rolling.
In other words, these are for the guy who has already cleaned out a fair bit of the detritus from his nervous system/energy body, and who has already regulated his hormones, achieving a state of supra-homeostasis. You gotta walk before you can run.
CAUTION
Please, please, please do not begin these prematurely or overdo these techniques! I always hesitate talking about more powerful practices, because when I started learning all of this stuff over a decade ago, I did not heed the warnings and went straight for the stronger stuff, which only resulted in me biting off more than I could chew, releasing waaaayyy more energy than my body was ready for, creating nasty anxiety, random heart palpitations, and insomnia that last a few months.
But we're all adults here, right? The first two techniques should be a-ok to practice for anyone at any level, the last two should not be practiced with any regularity until you've spent at least a few months purifying the body-mind system with more foundational yoga and pranayama.
All of these practices create a lot of heat within the system. If you find yourself overheating, or losing sleep, or developing anxiety from the excess energy, stop them immediately. Remember, this all presupposes you already have been regular with a basic yoga routine for at least a few months, including asanas and at least one kind of pranayama.
If you haven't, don't bother with any of these practices except the first two.
Agnisara kriya
Agni means fire, sara means essence, kriya means action, so this is the practice of activating and refining inner fire into its essence - tejas.
This practice is a great preparation for kapalabhati and bhastrika pranayamas, as it is essentially the same movement of the abdomen, just done with the lungs held empty. If you live in a hot environment, be sure it doesn't lead to you being overheated throughout the day.
"Agnisara kriya stimulates the appetite and improves digestion. It massages the abdomen, strengthens the abdominal muscles and encourages optimum health of the abdominal organs. Agnisara kriya stimulates the five pranas, especially samana, and raises the energy levels markedly. It alleviates depression, dullness and lethargy." Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha
This practice should be done in the morning on an empty stomach, both due to the pumping action of the abdomen and because of its energizing effects on the solar plexus, adrenals and manipura chakra, the "storehouse of prana".
This practice also increases the "heat" of digestion. In yoga and Ayurveda, a strong digestion is paramount to good health - if the "fire" of digestion is damp and smoldering, you're wasting tons of energy trying to digest what should be "burnt up" relatively easily.
Just as a fire burning large and hot can easily burn damp wood, but a smoldering, weak fire threatens to go out on it's own, so should your digestive fire be burning hot and strong, so that you are not bogged down after every meal.

Prana Mudra -
"Prana mudra awakens the dormant prana shakti, vital energy, and distributes it throughout the body, increasing strength, health and confidence. It develops awareness of the nadis (energy channels) and chakras, and the subtle flow of prana in the body. It instills an inner attitude of peace and equanimity by adopting an external attitude of offering and receiving energy to and from the cosmic source." Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha
This mudra is wonderful on so many levels -

• it raises energy levels by releasing prana;
• it develops awareness of the main chakras and the central channel;
• and it saturates your energy body with positive vibrations, as you radiate peace towards all beings.

Here is the best video I could find on it, but I must admit, his explanation doesn't really do it for me, so here is a step-by-step guide, straight from the book I keep quoting, Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha.
Surya Bheda Pranayama
Surya bheda pranayama roughly translates to "stimulating the solar channel". There are 3 main channels through which prana flows in the body - the central channel, going right up the spine with the 7 main chakras, and the two channels that crisscross the central one. The channel that begins in the left nostril and crisscrosses down to the base chakra is "lunar" and negatively charged, while the channel that begins on the right nostril is positively charged and "solar".
https://preview.redd.it/uqvw8gsdz6zc1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c23a4d841eb1d50ca19c1a3d030bb76456375bea
In nadi shodhana pranayama, also called alternate nostril breathing, you alternate the breath through the nostrils and thus, through the lunar and solar channels. In surya bheda pranayama, you stimulate only the solar channel.
Realize that this practice may be too warming as we enter spring and summer in the northern hemisphere. If it's already hot where you are, simply do alternate nostril breathing, which creates plenty of tejas.
Back to surya bheda - "This practice creates heat in the body and counteracts imbalances... It stimulates and awakens the panic energy by activating pingala nadi (the solar channel). By increasing extroversion and dynamism, it enables physical activities to be performed more effeciently and helps to alleviate depression. It is especially recommended for those who are dull and lethargic or who find it difficult to communicate with the external world. It makes the mind more alert and perceptive and is an excellent pre-meditation pranayama." Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha

1. Sit in your favorite meditative posture.
2. Take a few slow, deep breaths, finding your center.
3. Curl the pointer and middle fingers of the right hand into the palm, raising your hand to your nose.
4. Exhale, and then block the left nostril with the ring and pinky fingers.
5. Inhale through the right nostril in a slow, controlled manner.
6. Close the right nostril and hold the breath for 1 or 2 seconds.
7. Open the left nostril and exhale in a slow and controlled manner.
8. Close the left nostril again and inhale through the right, repeating the process.
9. 10 rounds is sufficient to start, moving it up 15 after a couple of weeks, then 20 after a few more weeks if so desired.

Nauli
Spend a few months with agnisara kriya before moving on to nauli. When you start practicing nauli, drop agnisara kriya, as agnisara kriya is essentially a stepping stone to nauli. I recommend practicing only a few rounds of the beginning form of nauli, without the abdominal churning. Nauli should be done in the morning, before any food has been consumed.
This practice is to be avoided if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, history of stroke or abdominal injuries.
"Nauli massages and tones the entire abdominal area, including the muscles, nerves, intestines, reproductive, urinary and excretory organs. It generates heat in the body and stimulates appetite, digestion, assimilation, absorption and excretion. It helps to balance the adrenal component of the endocrine system. Nauli stimulates and purifies manipura chakra, the storehouse of prana. It helps to increase mental clarity and power by harmonizing the energy flows in the body." - Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha
Please only do the first portion of this practice - nauli video.
Sequencing

1. Do the postures first. Allow the heart rate and breathing rate to return to normal if you did an active routine.
2. Then do your pranayama.
3. Then mudras/kriyas/nauli.
4. Then meditate.

Here is the post where I laid out the foundational asana routine I use, plus instructions on spinal breathing and alternate nostril breathing. Again, up the rounds of sun salutations if you'd like to increase internal heat even more so. Let your heart rate and breathing return to normal after sun salutations before proceeding to the rest of the asanas.
Here is a video on how to properly perform sun salutations.
Here is a video on kapalabhati pranayama, and here is one on bhastrika.
Here's a nice 20 minute yoga routine with Tim.
Here's a 20 minute routine focused on strength and energy with Kassandra.
Here is a 28 minute intermediate yoga routine, and another 30 minute video by the same guy.
Feel free to shop around and find an instructor on Youtube that you enjoy, and explore their videos. Better yet, hit a class.
And remember - it is infinitely better to have a 15-20 minute routine that you consistently do, every single day, than it is to do an hour long class only three times a week. The same applies to pranayama and meditation! Don't bite off more than you can chew and then get frustrated when you can't keep up.
Start small, be consistent, increase duration and intensity slowly.
This is the path to success.

Knee replacement surgery can offer a new lease on life for individuals suffering from chronic knee pain and limited mobility due to conditions like osteoarthritis or injury. Choosing the right surgeon for your knee replacement is crucial to achieving the best possible outcome and enjoying a pain-free, active lifestyle. In this guide, we'll explore the key factors to consider when selecting the best knee replacement surgeon for your needs.
1. Specialization in Knee Replacement:
Seek out a surgeon who specializes specifically in knee replacement surgery. These specialists have extensive experience and expertise in performing total knee replacement (TKR) and partial knee replacement (PKR) procedures. Look for a surgeon who has a high volume of knee replacements and a focus on knee orthopedics to ensure that you're receiving care from a true expert in the field.
2. Board Certification and Training:
Ensure that your chosen knee replacement surgeon is board-certified in orthopedic surgery and has received additional training specifically related to knee replacement procedures. Board certification demonstrates that the surgeon has met rigorous standards of competency and proficiency in orthopedic surgery. Additionally, inquire about their fellowship training in knee replacement surgery, which provides specialized education and hands-on experience in advanced techniques.
3. Experience and Track Record:
Experience matters when it comes to knee replacement surgery. Look for a surgeon who has performed a high volume of knee replacements and has a track record of successful outcomes. A surgeon with extensive experience is better equipped to handle complex cases, minimize complications, and optimize patient satisfaction. Don't hesitate to ask about the surgeon's complication rates, revision rates, and patient outcomes to gauge their proficiency and reliability.
4. Advanced Surgical Techniques:
Inquire about the surgical techniques and approaches that your potential knee replacement surgeon utilizes. While traditional knee replacement methods are effective, advancements such as minimally invasive surgery, computer-assisted navigation, and custom implant options can offer benefits such as smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and improved alignment and function. Choose a surgeon who is proficient in a variety of techniques and can tailor the approach to your unique needs and preferences.
5. Comprehensive Preoperative Evaluation and Patient Education:
A thorough preoperative evaluation is essential for ensuring a successful knee replacement surgery. Your surgeon should conduct a comprehensive assessment of your knee condition, overall health, and lifestyle factors to develop a personalized treatment plan. Additionally, they should provide detailed patient education to help you understand the procedure, set realistic expectations, and prepare for the surgery and recovery process.
Conclusion:
Finding the best knee replacement surgeon requires careful consideration of factors such as specialization, board certification, experience, surgical techniques, and patient-centered care. By selecting a surgeon who is highly skilled, experienced, and dedicated to providing personalized care, you can embark on your knee replacement journey with confidence and peace of mind. With the guidance of a top-notch knee replacement surgeon, you can look forward to reclaiming mobility, reducing pain, and enjoying an active lifestyle once again.

Unless you're already established in the trade and looking to upskill then these courses are an absolute con.....
Would you trust someone to work in your property after a 6 month course that was based in a classroom and requires some photos of you pretending to do some work on site??
What they don't tell you is that when you come out.... no one will employ you. Because no one is that stupid. Without any experience you won't get a job!!!!!!
So you can work for yourself????? Enjoy the legal battles when it all goes wrong because you flooded some poor old lady's house out because they taught you how to connect a cooker. But not drain a system down properly.
There is a reason it takes 4 years the traditional way...... on site with experienced engineers. These courses do nothing but teach you how to pass a test. When in reality it's hands on experience that you need.
When I did an apprenticeship it was 1 day a week at college and 4 days on site...... it was the 4 days where you really learnt and practiced your craft.
Just read real reviews online of people that have done this training. Or from BPEC, the awarding body for apprenticeships. Or from anyone that isn't affiliated with these centres.
Unsuspecting victims come out with a certificate that cost a fortune and no job what so ever. Just try and get a gas job online........ they will all give a minimum term of experience required....... These centres should be ashamed of themselves.
They are diluting the industry with cowboys that don't have a clue. Its already bad enough and gas safe is there to protect customers.
Anyone that goes on these courses and thinks and think they can walk out with a fancy new certificate and earn £50k a year are delusional.

Good morning!
I’m a CPT in training (don’t have my certificate yet), and I’m wondering if anyone has tips for sticking the veins on the hand. Out of 5 tries, I’ve only managed 2 successful draws on the hands. It seems like the vein is in place, I’m pushing the needle into the vein, and then…nothing. When I pull it out, it’s always to the side! Idk what I’m doing wrong. Maybe I’m anchoring the vein wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I have some trouble setting up a split DNS. I got to the point where I set up Adguard Home as a local DNS provider and set up a DNS rewrite of *.mydomain.com to the ip of my Nginx container. I have set that ip to 192.168.1.3.
In Nginx I set up the proxies I need: app.mydomain.com to http://localIP:port
But when trying to access the app.mydomain.com in the browser the page does not load (no error code, just ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR)
using nslookup I can see Adguard is doing its job and forwards the correct name to the address of Nginx. So the problem lies at Nginx I suspect.
Just to give a bit more context: I only use Nginx for this purpose. For remote access I use a cloudflare tunnel, so my 80 and 443 ports are closed. This has the side effect that I can't create SSL certificates in Nginx. I know I could assign static IPs to my containers and use the split DNS without a reverse proxy, but that would mean spending a lot of time getting other integrations right again, so I really want to avoid that.

Introduction:
Joint replacement surgery can be life-changing, restoring mobility and alleviating pain for individuals suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or joint injury. When considering joint replacement, selecting the right surgeon is paramount to ensuring a successful outcome. This guide will walk you through the key factors to consider when seeking a joint replacement surgeon who can provide exceptional care and results.

1. Specialization and Expertise:

Look for a surgeon who specializes in joint replacement surgery. These specialists dedicate their practice to mastering the intricacies of joint replacement procedures, such as total hip replacement, total knee replacement, and shoulder replacement. Seek out a surgeon who has performed a high volume of joint replacements, as experience is often correlated with better outcomes and fewer complications.

1. Board Certification and Training:

Ensure that your chosen surgeon is board-certified in orthopedic surgery and has received additional training in joint replacement procedures. Board certification indicates that the surgeon has met rigorous standards of competency and expertise in their field. Additionally, inquire about their fellowship training, which provides specialized education in joint replacement techniques and advancements.

1. Surgical Approach and Techniques:

Discuss with your surgeon their preferred surgical approach and techniques for joint replacement. While traditional approaches are still widely used, advancements such as minimally invasive surgery and computer-assisted navigation can offer benefits such as smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and faster recovery times. Choose a surgeon who is proficient in a variety of techniques and can tailor the approach to your individual needs and anatomy.

1. Comprehensive Preoperative Evaluation:

A thorough preoperative evaluation is essential for ensuring a successful joint replacement surgery. Your surgeon should conduct a comprehensive assessment of your joint condition, overall health, and any underlying medical issues that may impact the surgery or recovery process. They should also discuss alternative treatment options, risks, and benefits to help you make an informed decision about proceeding with joint replacement.

1. Postoperative Care and Rehabilitation:

Recovery from joint replacement surgery involves more than just the surgical procedure itself. Look for a surgeon who provides comprehensive postoperative care and rehabilitation support. This may include physical therapy, pain management strategies, and guidance on activities of daily living to optimize your recovery and regain function in the replaced joint. A surgeon who emphasizes patient education and support throughout the recovery process can make a significant difference in your overall experience and outcomes.
Conclusion:
Choosing the right joint replacement surgeon is a critical step in your journey toward improved joint function and quality of life. By considering factors such as specialization, board certification, surgical approach, preoperative evaluation, and postoperative care, you can find a surgeon who is not only highly skilled but also dedicated to providing personalized care and support every step of the way. With the guidance of an experienced and compassionate surgeon, you can confidently pursue joint replacement surgery with the assurance of exceptional care and results.

I have customer that is on W11 23h2 that randomly receives below error when running the PSM session via the PVWA and also manually using the mstsc.exe from the client, but only on the LB VIP address. If we go directly using the specific PSM from the LB pool, it works fine.

"Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator Code: 0x907"

Can it be related to the signature algorithm? The Root CA is using sha1, the LB cert is on sha256. I've heard Windows 11 is not big fan of the sha1. It doesn't really answer why using directly the PSM it works fine, and the server certs are signed with the same Root CA.

• Tried the CyberArk solution with adding permissions to PSMConnect on the MSLicensing registry but without any change -> https://cyberark.my.site.com/s/article/Issues-with-Remote-Desktop-on-End-user-Machine-after-Windows11-Update
• If I setup authentication level 0, it works just fine
• I've re imported Server Certificates, LB Certificate, verified they are trusted on that Win 11 machine.
• I also found that Code: 0x907" could be related to the UDP pre check before the run of the SSL connection on Windows 11 22h2. Tried to disable the UDP pre-check before connection via the registry on that Win 11 machine, still the same.
• MS Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe) client is version 10.0.22621 on Win11 and 10.0.19041 on Win10.
• PSM LB cert has Server Authentication in Key Usage, I found the 0x907 can be related to the missing authentication

Thanks.

I’ve (22f) always had suspicions about my partner (27m) cheating because of my past relationships.
I just got triggered really bad bc i searched something on tiktok and a video of a girl walking into her mans dorm, using his access code key (which my bf also has those key cards, and a dorm) and her man is sleeping with another girl. The search bar at the top said “trust your gut.” The video was completely unrelated to the topic i searched… i guess the dorm reminded me of his dorm and the access card, etc… and the TRUST YOUR GUT at the top is pretty bad considering ive always been paranoid.
But what if it was never paranoia?
He just spent 2 weeks at home with me and just got back to college. He’s been pretty good at sending me texts throughout the day and calling me to check in. I know hes so busy (hes also an athlete so always training) and he sends me snap chats of the places hes at. I noticed though that his teammate is posting a lot of places their at because theyre doing intense trainings- the new feature on instagram makes it seem like the person who shared it posted it though, so im like what if hes making all those posts to be deceptive? Like his friend is in on it.
There is obviously changes in his behaviour because hes back at college 2h away and hes busy. So idk if these changes are normal or a sign of something bad like cheating.
I don’t think hes the type to cheat and i really just don’t know, i felt like this TikTok was a sign but then i think of all the signs ive gotten that hes a good man for me… hes never been weird about his phone or whatever red flags there usually are but yeah hes definitely a bit different after going back to college. :/
Please dont be mean i really just need advice…

Lately I've been busting my mind open to find a minimum wage job. My CV's were tailored for each position, and I've yet to get any calls back. Things shouldn't be this way, it wasn't this hard five years ago. I'm a citizen, I am halfway done my bachelors, and I have nothing but passion. I don't have any prior "work" experience, but I ran a small business and acted as a care giver for my grandfather with severe dementia. These are all described in my resume.
The way things are looking makes me fall out of love with the country I spent all but 1.5 months of my life in, but I know the economy is just awful everywhere. What should I do? Would it be a poor idea to make a sign with a QR code of my portfolio and walk up and down the local trains with it? I'm not entirely unskilled, I make pastries, jewellery, can take care of exotic animals, grow vegetables, do photography, and more. People beg all the time so I don't think the police will stop me from begging for a minimum wage job. But there has to be better ways to go about this. I've searched far and wide online, walked through malls with a stack of resumes, asked around. Where do I go from here?
