The eclipse of - What happened and what's going on 509. 🌞 ☀️ 🌙 🌚

In past posts, I've mentioned how the eclipses of 2017, 2023, and this weeks eclipse in 2024 were important to Beth's return.

You can read more on the eclipses here and here.

They are time markers to her return, and we can count it as a sign to look for, because Leah and Daryl were looking up at the 2017 eclipse.

I stumbled across this connection, placing them in 2017, but yesterday, other walking dead accounts put out material saying the same thing. It's confirmed, and this eclipse symbolism is part of the clues on how we "find me" or find Beth.

So it is important...

Emily mentioned Monday's eclipse by re-posting a story of a person talking about how the eclipse was a big old waste of time. He thought It left much to be desired, considering all the hype there was around it.

All the whether people were talking about it. All the conspiracy people were talking about it. He thought he was gonna get superpowers from it, but he just got really cold 🥶 (notice Leah and Daryl are watching the eclipse on a fridge)

I've learnt over the years that Emily leaves clues, but she will also lie lie lie. (I still love her 😆)

This is fitting because as they are using the biblical end time template over and over, and the number one sign Christ points to as a sign of his coming is deception.

Matthew 24.3

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Leah's "son" called Matthew?

The fact that Emily even acknowledges the eclipse points to it meaning something.

And while it may have been a big nothing burger in some locations. Other locations got a magnificent show.

The eclipse symbolism was front and center at Rick's reunion. The glowing ring of the CRM logo in the sky, is the eclipse.

We saw wedding symbolism and wedding ring symbolism, which is also eclipse symbolism, and it's all connected to the return of Christ.

His coming is connected to marriage to the "bride" of Christ.

Eclipse terminology even uses the term diamond ring to describe the eclipse (You can see the "diamond" in the above eclipse picture)

It's wedding season (return/union/reunion/wedding season), and Emily is well aware of the symbolic connections to the eclipse and marriage.

She's seen here - the humming bird, at Hummingbird Nest in wedding season...

Emily released the song called Rock Star when she had just left The Walking Dead.

I have talked many times before about how the end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end. The projects she did after just leaving the walking dead give clues to how she will return.

She has used the biblical end times template in much of her work, as has TWD - they just rework it.

And that's exactly what Emily did with the song Rock-star.

It's a song about marriage, and the video is in black and white (colour eclipsed). Listen here

The song mentions diamond rings 💍, Converse (star) shoes, something Emily posted about recently, too.

The song also talks about satellites, The Walking Dead, getting old, and...Lofting a bed above his practice space.

This scene below is from an episode after Jesus dies. (The end is the beginning)

Daryl shares the loft bed with dog, aka Beth.

The loft or penthouse suite...Beth picked it.

Knowing that the end is the beginning and the beginning is the end, I went back and re-watched episode 509 - What happened and what's going on.

To look for any clues that point to an eclipse and oh boy I was not disappointed.

The episode literally shows us a solar eclipse. They use flashes of blinding colored light to block out the sun...

The use of pulsing and flashing lightning all through the episode always seemed odd, but now, in light of the eclipse symbolism, it makes sense.

Especially with the knowledge that the episode starts and ends with Father Gabriel quoting the bible verse about looking at what is unseen and what is eternal.

Go re-watch the episode if you get a chance, with eclipse symbolism in mind. You will see it differently.

Not only do we get the depiction of a solar eclipse, but we also see this image...

We have analysed this picture many times before. What stands out to me having the eclipse in mind is the X shape on the door pointing to the X eclipse.

Obviously. We have the dog on the porch, Sirius, and the American flag, which would point to the X eclipse being over the United States.

We also see Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde statue, looking up at the sky through what seems to be a magnifying glass or lens. You could say Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde's personalities are night and day (eclipse)

What I found most interesting about this picture is the globe. The globe has shadows of eclipse lines on it...

After some digging, I discovered the map on the globe focuses over Africa.

If you look closely, you'll see the little growing ball of light over the ocean. I discovered that is a representation of the moon.

The globe here is pointing to a blood moon lunar eclipse that is scheduled to happen over this exact location In the year 2029.

Notice in the graphic above, the eye 👁 of the moon goes from closed to open - keep this in mind for later.

I point this out because Emily has written about blood moons before in her song Mortal.

Many people thought when she released the song that it was about her and Daryl, and it is.

Here are the relevant words from the song Mortal...

Baby, that's what I call feeling mortal.

Put your head and cry on my shoulder.

We can watch the moon turn bright blood red.

We can stay the night in my tree house bed. (Loft that 🐕 dog chose)

If the end is the beginning and the beginning is the end, then It's very possible when Beth returns, Daryl and her will watch a blood red moon in her tree house bed. Their story may well end in 2029, when this real blood moon is scheduled. Why the Africa link? Who knows, maybe it's a link to the pyramids, Sirius rising and Alexandria/Andrea (Revived Roman empire territory)

After posting the story about the guy talking about the eclipse, Emily also posted this blood red picture of the album, Oh Jonathan. From which the song Mortal comes.

Not a coincidence.

I've mentioned before how the antichrist receives a mortal head wound but is healed from that head wound.

Emily chose the title Mortal for this reason, it's another hint to her head wound survival and her return.

Both of these again link back to the return of Christ and the antichrist.

The beast is another term for the antichrist...

Revelation 13.3

And I saw that one of his heads was, as it were, wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered after the beast.

Back to the blood moon clip that I showed you from Africa. What's really interesting is one specific piece of Emily's artwork for her album swim team.

It matches the blood moon chart, and the blood moons eye 👁 goes from closed to open. We can watch 👁 the moon turn bright blood red...

One other connection that's worth mentioning here since we are back at Noah's house is that the bible describes the return of Christ as being like the days of Noah. 🌈

‭Matthew 24:36-39 (once again, Matthew is connected to FIND ME and Beth, and so are the days of Noah)

“Now concerning that day and hour no one knows — neither the angels of heaven nor the Son — except the Father alone. [37] As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. [38] For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark. [39] They didn’t know until the flood came and swept them all away. This is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be.

The days of Noah are associated with the rainbow, and we just saw Rick (Andrew Lincoln) post about a rainbow after the final of the ones who live. Here

When I took a video of the certain portions of What's happened and what's going on I realised they used all the colours of the rainbow 🌈 over the top of particular footage...

And we see the same colour eclipse Beth, in this clip below, that we saw in the sun drawing eclipse...

Beth - blue eclipse - Sun

Now i need to back up a bit, because before the group arrived at Noah's home.

We see them drive into a clearing, in a vehicle with this number plate

The number plate says WBT 1417

This clearing they park in before going on foot to Noah's house, is the first time we see the symbol of the wolf, which is carved into the walkers that have been chopped in half and shoved into the red vehicle.

We also see a girl walker trapped in a car that's been shot up, and many have speculated it was to remind us of Beth.

I very much think it's symbolic of Beth.

All these connections made me think about what the number plate could stand for.

W Stands for wolf.

B T stands for Beth, Beth means house of...so WBT means house of wolf.

When I searched for house of wolf 1417, the results led me to the Wolf of Rimini.

After reading about the Wolf of Rimini, for me, the most notable connection is that the Wolf of Rimini is from Italy, which connects to the antichrist coming from a revived Roman empire.

The Wolf of Rimini was known for being a military leader, which is another thing he would have in common with the antichrist, who will conquer through great military power.

The last connection that the Wolf of Rimini has that reminded me of Beth, is that he led a group to steal the remains of one of his teachers and mentors.

So in one clearing, we have wolf, antichrist, Beth, and stolen remains symbolism.

But that's not all...

The other car we see in this clearing has the number plate Luke 8:41-67.

I talked about this number plate in my last post that you can read here.

This Luke number plate was related to Jesus's healing miracles around the pool of Bethesda. It's super interesting that this car has the wolf or W marked walkers in it that have had their legs cut off.

Luke in the show had his leg cut off.

The Luke number plate was also seen when Jesus was first introduced in 610, and the Luke car is parked next to the car with the walker "Beth" in it.

During this episode, Tyrese keeps talking about keeping up with the news and being aware of what's going on in the world.

Well, I was keeping up with the news over the eclipse and one article caught my attention because right as the eclipse was happening, a lady decided to shoot up a car.

It caught my attention because it looked exactly like the shot up car that the Beth Walker was in.

The article said that God told her to shoot the car up.

I had to add this because the connections are too bizarre to just skip over. Hopefully, no one was hurt.

What happened and what's going on is all related to the coming wolves.

Wolf symbolism in the bible is described as something bad.

The wolf is repeatedly mentioned in the scriptures as an enemy of flocks: a metaphor for evil men with a lust for power and dishonest gain, as well as a metaphor for Satan preying on Christians, contrasted with the shepherd Jesus who keeps his flock safe.

So, the wolf symbolism being tied to the antichrist (wolf of Rimini/Roman Empire) and the Wolf Praying on the Christians (Christ/Beth/Luke) and the potential stealing of Beth's remains, all works together to paint a picture of the past but also the future story they will tell.

Another eclipse sign i noticed in this episode was when Glenn broke a C.D. in half.

To me, the CD glowing in the sun reminded me of an eclipse. We have been analysing a hidden or eclipsed version of Beth's story ever since she "died."

When the group finally arrived at Noah's house, We see more hints of Beth return.

We see a sign that says Summer place (pine for Summer)

We see the eclipse sun on the ground which i already showed, and the wolves not far sign.

When Noah enters his house, He places a blanket with black and white XXXX's all over it, over the dead body. While he says...

When Tyrese enters Noah's brother's bedroom, we first see a telescope 🔭 and rockets. Telling us to look to the skies, more hints at the eclipse, sun, moon, and star symbolism and as if mentioned before those are also signs of the coming of Christ.

The book of Luke also gives instruction to look up when you see all the signs of the second coming of Christ.

Luke 21.28

When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

The bedroom he enters has a lot of plane and dog (Sirius) symbolism.

We saw a lot of planes and helicopters around Rick's return, and in other posts, I've already mentioned how they are symbolic of inter-dimensional travel. That can relate to God Satan, angels, or fallen angels.

The Governor returns, and he represents Sirius, returning with the one eye symbolism. He talks about paying the bill. At the same time, we see more of the sun eclipse and Beth in the car symbolism in the background.

All this is happening in Noah's house, and it's a sign of judgment day and the end times. 🌈

This is emphasized by showing us the train tracks to Terminus (coda/end) being shown along with the flickering rainbow eclipse lights.

The last thing i want to mention is something Glenn says in this episode. At one point, he mentions the guy in the train car that they came across at Terminus (the end) who screams... they're us, we're the same...

To sum up, the eclipse symbolism is huge in this episode and to Beth's return, and I bet no one (not even me) realised just how much symbolism there is for it surrounding Beth.

She will return with the same signs and symbolism that she left with.

💫🌈👁🌚✝️♾️✝️🌚👁🌈💫

If you have any questions, just send me an ask.

[twdmusicboxmystery]

just saw the dead city trailer and ran here. What do you think about the time jump there with older Hershel playing into everyone reuniting with the CRM? Ready for your FTWD analysis too. also just realized FTWD will probably coincide with dead city. Going into the new phase with low expectations and hopefully a good outcome🤞🏻

Yeah, I saw them. Super exciting! The thing is, I don't think Hershel will actually be significantly older. I seem to remember them talking about a very small time jump, like maybe a few months, but I don't think it will be more than that. The actor who plays Hershel does look older, but that's just because kids age so quickly on film. It's been 2 years since this young man first portrayed Hershel, so of course he'll look older. That doesn't mean he is in the show.

Cailey Fleming, who plays Judith on the show, is kind of an exception here. She's a 14-year-old who still looks like she's ten, lol. But that's not true of most kids. So, I wouldn't worry overly much about there being a time jump.

As for other observations about the two new trailers, here is what I sent my fellow theorists:

@twdmusicboxmystery:

A few things that immediately jumped out at me.

Maggie says someone is “the key” to getting Hershel back. We’re meant to believe she’s talking to Negan, and she may be. But we know they can sometimes splice together trailers in a way that can be misleading. But this is a theme we saw heavily in S4 and S5, including around Grady.

The storyline they lay out for Fear, brief tho it may be, feels like a template for the CRM. People raising an army to challenge a larger organization.

June looks exactly like Leah in this picture:

Any insight into who the guy in the wanted poster is? It COULD be Rick. Doesn’t look like him in particular, but closer to him than to Beth, lol.

I got IMDb to try and confirm weather or not they’re using the same actor for Hershel. I think they are, but none of the spin-offs are listed anywhere on IMDb yet. Not Dead City and not Daryl Dixon. Which is a little strange since fans can edit the pages. It’s odd that no one has added them.

I almost feel like maybe they’re purposefully being kept off the pages for now. Though I don’t know why they would do that.

@galadrieljones:

That is weird about IMDb. I agree it makes it seem like they don’t want the info out there. It’s strange like the spin offs still don’t seem real? Esp the Daryl one.

@wdway:

You asked who we thought was in the wanted poster. I think it is Negan.

I've been thinking about some of the scenes that we've seen in the past seasons that implied that Negan might know something about the CRM but maybe not realize that's who it is and I think that Negan might be smart enough not to question certain things to closely.

When Jadis held him at the junkyard she called the CRM helicopter which he saw. Nothing was ever explained about how he just totally ignored that. At the satellite station they had a room where they were growing pot I wonder if he was growing pot to sell to some group connected to the CMR in exchange for other medical supplies like insulin that we saw with Tina, Sherry and Dwight had stolen when they left the sanctuary.

In Here's Negan there was a lot of open questions about the cancer medicine he got from the doctor in the RV. It just seem to me there are a lot of questions that were put out and then skipped over.

@twdmusicboxmystery:

Great points! I hadn't thought of that. 👍

So, these are our initial thoughts about the two trailers. What does everyone else think?

Subscription Plans: These plans offer a set number of minutes or unlimited calling for a fixed monthly fee, providing cost predictability and often lower rates for regular users.

Advanced Features for Enhanced Connectivity

Virtual Phone Numbers

Local Presence with Global Reach

Virtual phone numbers enable businesses and individuals to have local phone numbers in different countries, allowing them to establish a local presence without being physically there. This makes it easier for international clients and contacts to reach them, as they can dial a local number instead of an international one.

How to Set Up and Use Virtual Numbers

Setting up virtual phone numbers is straightforward. Users can choose a provider, select the desired country and area code, and assign the virtual number to their existing phone line or VoIP service. These numbers can be used to receive calls, which are then forwarded to the user's primary device, ensuring they never miss a call, no matter where they are.

Intelligent Call Routing

Geographical and Time-Based Routing

Intelligent call routing directs incoming calls based on the caller's geographical location or the time of the call. For example, calls from a specific region can be routed to a local office, while after-hours calls can be redirected to a different location or an answering service. This ensures that calls are handled efficiently and directed to the most appropriate recipient.

Ensuring Optimal Call Handling

By using intelligent call routing, businesses can ensure optimal call handling, reduce wait times, and improve customer satisfaction. This system helps manage call volume effectively and ensures that calls are answered promptly, regardless of the caller's location or the time of day.

Integration with Business Tools

CRM and Customer Support Systems

Integrating international calling with CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and customer support systems streamlines communication processes. It allows businesses to automatically log call details, track interactions, and access customer information during calls, enhancing the overall customer experience.

Unified Communication Platforms

Unified communication platforms combine various communication tools, such as voice, video, messaging, and collaboration, into a single interface. This integration ensures that all communication channels are accessible and manageable from one place, improving efficiency and making it easier for businesses to stay connected with their international contacts.

Security and Compliance in International Calling

Ensuring Data Privacy

Encryption Protocols

Data privacy is crucial in international calling. Encryption protocols protect sensitive information during transmission, ensuring that voice data is securely encoded and can only be accessed by authorized parties. Common encryption methods include Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), which safeguard data against interception and eavesdropping.

Regulatory Compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.)

Compliance with regulatory standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is essential for international calling services. These regulations mandate strict guidelines for handling personal data, ensuring that businesses protect user privacy and maintain data security. Adhering to these standards helps build trust with customers and avoid legal penalties.

Preventing Fraud and Abuse

Call Authentication

Call authentication verifies the identity of callers to prevent fraud and abuse. Techniques such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and caller ID verification ensure that calls originate from legitimate sources. This helps to reduce instances of phone fraud, such as spoofing and phishing, enhancing the security of international communication.

Monitoring and Reporting

Continuous monitoring and reporting of call activity are vital for detecting and preventing fraudulent behavior. By analyzing call patterns and usage data, businesses can identify suspicious activities and take prompt action to mitigate risks. Detailed reports provide insights into call performance and security, helping organizations maintain the integrity of their international calling services.

Choosing the Right International Calling Provider

Key Factors to Consider

Coverage and Reach

When selecting an international calling provider, it's essential to consider their coverage and reach. A good provider should offer extensive coverage, allowing you to connect with contacts in various countries without issues. Ensure they provide reliable service in the regions you frequently call.

Quality of Service

The quality of service is crucial for clear and uninterrupted communication. Look for providers that offer high-definition (HD) voice and have a reputation for maintaining consistent call quality. Check for features like redundancy and failover systems that ensure reliability even during peak times or technical issues.

Customer Support

Responsive and effective customer support is vital. Choose a provider known for excellent customer service, available 24/7 to assist with any issues or questions. Good customer support can make a significant difference in resolving problems quickly and maintaining smooth communication.

Comparing Top Providers

Feature Comparison

Evaluate the features offered by different international calling providers. Look for essential features such as VoIP technology, virtual phone numbers, intelligent call routing, and integration with business tools like CRM systems. A comprehensive feature set enhances the overall calling experience and supports your specific needs.

BENEFITS OF WI FI ONE NEEDS TO KNOW

For certain Internet users, it can be difficult to figure out which of the internet service provider offers the most efficient service. There are a variety of wisp crm providers which offer a variety of choices, but how do you choose which is the best fit for your needs, budget and daily data use?

Internet customers have two choices for choosing the internet service provider depending on which type they want to use - wireless or wired. Each type of connection has its own unique set of benefits and disadvantages. Wireless internet offers many advantages that will make your Internet experience more secure easy to access and enjoyable. The advantages of wireless internet can save you money and time, as well as provide you with greater flexibility when compared to wired connections. There are many wisp software that are readily available in the market

WIRELESS AND WIRED INTERNET

The name itself suggests that wired internet depends upon physical connectivity between the gadget used by the user and their service provider. Service providers can provide wired internet services to their clients in a variety of ways.

Dial-up, also known as DSL is available via standard telephone lines.

Cable internet uses TV cables to transmit and get Internet signals.

Broadband service is connected via an underground fibre-optic cable network.

Wireless internet however uses wireless signals to provide customers with services. Satellite Internet is one type of internet which is wireless. Satellites orbiting send signals to the users and also loading websites into browsers to allow internet browsing.

Another method for wireless internet is to utilize radio waves to relay digital data to customers. Certain companies employ cell towers for connecting clients to internet. A portable modem allows users to access the internet on nearly any device that has WiFi capabilities. Certain smartphones come with mobile hotspot functions that allow the use of radio signals from their phones to connect other devices to the internet. There are numerous Cloud-hosted hotspot management software.

The reliability of your signal receives could be affected by many factors. Satellite services can be affected by physical barriers such as trees, mountains, or weather conditions that can cause problems in establishing an uninterrupted connection. These factors have less effect for radio-wave-based service. However, people living in areas that do not have a significant signal strength from their phone may require boosters in order to make the most out of their mobile phone.

THE BENEFITS OF WIFI

Wireless internet is the most popular method used by families as well as businesses in order to access the Internet. There are a variety of reasons why people choose broadband internet via wireless over conventional ones.

PORTABLE

Users are restricted in terms of their connectivity options when they connect via wired. With wireless internet that's radio-based, users can access their internet no matter where they travel. If you're taking a walk, wandering around open spaces or just sitting at your friend's place you'll be able browse the internet with WiFi-capable devices. Now a days wifi solutions for university is also available.

EASY TO AFFORD

Internet services with broadband that have fast speed require an investment for the infrastructure. They typically transfer their costs onto their customers. This leads to huge monthly costs for utility bills. Satellite services that are wireless also have high usage costs. Radio-based wireless internet utilizes towers for mobile phones that are widely accessible. Lower operating costs for service providers means lower prices for customers.

EASE IN SHARING

If you are using a wired connection, residents might have trouble getting their signal to different devices. A wireless router could be a solution as everyone in your home can access your internet. One of the benefits of wireless connectivity is that customers don't require additional devices to share their connection with the other gadgets that are within their reach.

AVAILABLE IN REMOTE AREAS

Internet users in rural areas are frequently confronted with a limited selection of choices. The cost of offering services to regions with little population doesn't necessarily justify the cost for broadband providers. Instead of opting for slow-moving dial-up connections or costly satellite service, rural users can avail an affordable and reliable internet connection.

Wireless internet offers you the option of being connected even when you're moving without needing to transport heavy equipment and wiring in buckets. Connecting to the internet through mobile phone towers is also an option that is among the cheapest ways to access internet.

If you're searching for WiFi bandwidth software services then you should contact Xceednet that provides all internet-related services.

Words from a so-far successful archaeologist (25 years old/recent Ph.D. admit)

Hello Everyone!  I have revived my Tumblr to find many messages asking “what do I do next” when it comes to Archaeology/Anthropology. So I thought I’d create a post explaining what I went through to get to where I am now, and hopefully give some information to those who are pondering on the next steps to take in this truly wonderful field of study.  Quick academic about me: 

Undergrad: Ivy League, Major: Anthropology-Geography, Minor: Religion

After Undergrad: 1 year of Cultural Resource Management (CRM) & Substitute teaching

Graduate School: England MSc in Archaeological Information Systems

After Graduate: 10-month long research grant in Cambodia

Now: (USA)  Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology, Archaeology Track

I come from a low-middle class family, all of my academics have been funded through financial aid or through grants that I’ve applied for. A lot of the time school and research can get expensive, but that doesn’t mean you have to be wealthy to pursue it!

Per usual, please feel free to DM me at any point with questions (here or IG @ aal.archaeology), I’m always happy to help to the best of my ability. Success in this field is really dependent on networking!

I’ll set this up based on the various landmarks of my academic career: 

1. Undergrad

Themes: Ask for help, build your resume, write down everything

No matter where you are going to school, it is so so so important to use the resources around you. Becoming a professor is HARD work, and each one of your professors went through a lot to be able to stand in front of you and teach you. They’ve likely had years and years of research experience, which is probably still happening behind the scenes of teaching and grading papers. More often than not, professors want to help you, they want students to be excited about the research they’ve worked so hard on, and they want to do what they can to help you achieve your career goals.  Therefore, if there’s a class you’ve taken or a professor whose research you’re interested in, tell them. This is how I got my first experience with archaeology (before I even knew that I wanted to do archaeology). I randomly took an Anthropology class that sounded cool, and after the first class, I was like WOW I love this topic so much and I really want to know more about it. I went up to the professor that was teaching it, told her I was really interested and asked if she knew of any research opportunities available. She then hired me as a student researcher in her lab to do data entry for one of her archaeological projects in Mesoamerica, and after working for her for a few months, she asked me if I wanted to go with her and her team to Mexico for fieldwork. 

         (my timeline at this point: 19 years old, end of Sophomore year)

From this experience, I learned how to apply to grants within the University and funding outside of the University, and was able to FULLY fund my research experience in Mexico. During this fieldwork, I got to work with 3000-year-old artifacts, do archaeoillustration, and eventually got my own chapter published in the book that my professor wrote about the research that was done.

After I got back from Mexico, I started exploring archaeology further. A new professor entered the department who specialized in “digital archaeology,” and his research involved tracking looting patters in Syria using satellite imagery. I thought this was crazy so I then went up to him and asked if I could help him with his research. (the common theme throughout this entire process is just asking for help). From this experience, I learned that I loved the possibilities that technology brought to the study of archaeology, everything from 3D modeling to identification of sites in satellite imagery to spatial mapping in GIS. With this professor, I was able to form an “internship” with him, and continued doing that and other minor projects within the department. I ended up modifying my major to incorporate coursework from the Geography department and created my own “Digital Archaeology” major.

        (my timeline at this point: 22 years old, Senior year)

As graduation began to creep closer, I had been able to get a good amount of lines on my resume. I had:

research assistant/ data entry

fieldwork in mesoamerica

x2 internships with digital archaeology prof

multiple “small” projects around the department i.e. making posters, painting 3D prints of bones,

all of the coursework I had done on GIS/ relevant digital experience

started a drone club at my school (it flopped, but it still counts as a line on the resume!)

All of these lines became useful when starting to think of jobs and the “next step”

UNDERGRAD HIGHLIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:

Ask for help, your professors are there for a reason, it will almost always lead you to new opportunities. These relationships last well beyond your graduation and definitely come in handy later, make it count!

Write down EVERYTHING that you do. Did you help out with a conference? Write it down. Did you do a couple hours of data entry? Write it down.

Follow your leads! I started my anth journey in Mesoamerica and ended my undergrad in Near Easter digital archaeology (and I entered college wanting to do astronomy?). Change is natural, let it happen.  

2. Gap Year Between Undergrad and Grad School

Highlights: Job applications, field school, CRM, uncertainty

Something that I was always told during my undergrad was that you really need to do a field school and some CRM to be taken seriously post-grad. This shows that you actually want to be an archaeologist outside of the classroom environment. Field Schools and CRM give you valuable experience such as: excavation methodology, report writing, grant applications, teamwork, leadership, etc. 

I started applying for jobs probably about 5 months before I graduated and ended up securing a job at a CRM company in LA. They liked how much I had done during my undergrad, but they really wanted me to have a field school under my belt before I started working for them. Because I had already graduated and didn’t need course credit, I was able to do my field school at a discounted price (these things really do get expensive, and this was a difference of about $2k). I think this worked out in my favor waiting until the summer after I graduated because it saved me a lot of money in the end. 

After my field school was done, I started work that September in CRM. This job ended up being nothing like what I thought it would be, to be honest. I was an Archaeological Field Technician that was part-time/on-call, meaning I only got work when they needed someone to go monitor a construction site. I only got work once every month, sometimes every couple of months, so I was making hardly any money. I realized this quickly and decided to become a substitute teacher to supplement the CRM job. I HIGHLY recommend doing this if you end up in the same situation. Not only does subbing fill up all of your non-working days, but it also gives you the flexibility to choose when you can work and gives you teaching experience that you can put on your resume. That CRM experience can be really important, so it’s good to stick it out long enough to quit.

      Why didn’t I like CRM? For me, my job was very sparse, included driving long hours to a construction site, sitting there all day in case archaeological material popped up, and then driving home. Sometimes it was just walking back and forth across a massive field full of cow poop looking for arrowheads, and often it felt like I was just clearing land so that a big building could be erected. I was really missing the research component to all of it. The pay was also not great. 

GAP YEAR HIGHLIGHTS AND TAKEAWAYS:

What I got from this year was very valuable, even though it wasn’t necessarily that fun, however. 

I got the experience I needed in CRM

I got some teaching experience (also volunteered to mentor clubs and research at local high schools during this time)

I started doing some networking (I found some alumni that were doing work that I wanted to be doing and reached out to them)

and most importantly, I realized that I really do love school and wanted to go back for my Masters

So I started looking into Masters's programs. This is kind of a scary thing especially in the US because school is expensive. I still really wanted to do Digital Archaeology, and I couldn’t find a single program in the US had a focus in this topic, and especially couldn’t find one that I was willing to pay for. 

The UK, however, had plenty of Digital Archaeology programs, and the programs were only a year long and a fraction of the price in the US. I decided to take a chance and apply, got in, and then suddenly I was moving to England. (in hindsight I really didn’t spend much time at all making this decision, but it worked out in the end). 

3. Masters Program

         (my timeline at this point: 23-24 years old)

I chose the program I applied to based on its focus on the techniques that I wanted to use, namely, remote sensing, GIS, and 3D modeling. I really wanted a degree qualification that spoke for itself, and therefore applied for an MSc in “Archaeological Information Systems.” 

I had done some networking during my gap year and connected with an alumnus who was doing research in Cambodia using digital methods, and she offered me the opportunity to join her fieldwork. I agreed to join her in Cambodia during my degree, and also applied for a research grant for the year following my master's degree to continue fieldwork in Cambodia. 

I used this opportunity to fuel my dissertation topic and focused all of my writing and coursework throughout my grad school experience around Cambodia. While I was surrounded by people studying Roman architecture and Medieval Studies, I spent my time doing independent work and building a network in Cambodia. 

This program was a great experience for the most part, I was surrounded by beautiful medieval architecture and had a great community throughout. I personally didn’t really like the UK school system compared to what I had received in the US, however. This was largely because of the way coursework was set up. (If you want to know more just DM me).

MASTERS HIGHLIGHTS AND TAKEAWAYS:

Follow networking opportunities, and find someone doing what you want to do (or close to it) and let them help you take the steps to get there

If you’re going to do grad school, do it in something you know you love. Don’t waste money on a program that isn’t right for you.

Make sure that the program you apply to allows for flexibility so that you can do research on what YOU want, not what THEY want.

Halfway through my Master's degree, I received word that I had been accepted for the research grant (Fulbright) and would spend the next year living in Cambodia doing independent research.

4. Gap Year Between Masters Program and PhD

If you’re planning on a Ph.D., I think its a really good idea to do something before applying that relates to what you want to be studying. This shows that you’re dedicated to your research and to a life in academia, and have the ability to produce something from your work. 

My master's degree was nice because 1) it was short, only a year-long, and 2) allowed me to focus research on what I was interested in. This gave me the experience I needed to lead into a year of independent research.

This year of independent research was definitely contingent on receiving the grant in the first place, and I think that I would have started job searching again had I not received it. However, the small things I did leading up to applying for it really helped in qualifying me to receive it. 

     I had:

All of the undergraduate research experience

CRM experience

teaching experience

fieldwork experience

a master’s degree that focused on the region 

established a network of people in the country beforehand

a couple “publications” from fieldwork 

This grant fully funds me living in Cambodia, and has allowed me to participate in cultural exchange with some amazing people here in addition to allowing me to partake in archaeological fieldwork across the country. 

Again, I cannot stress enough how important it is to network. If you like something, find someone else who likes the same thing, send them an email.

Networking got me my experience in Mesoamerica, Digital Archaeology, my CRM job, my research experience in Cambodia, and so so much more. All because I sent that first email.

5. PhD Applications

I applied to 1 school. I got in. Its a really good school. I’m still in shock. 

However, I think I really did set myself up for success in this one. 

The biggest advice I can give in the world of Academia is:

NETWORK

Talking to people who have gone through what you’re going through are the BEST help. They can mentor you through these experiences, offer you new opportunities, or lead you in the direction of someone else who can help.

PLAN AHEAD (but be open to change)

Okay, so you’re applying to grad school. What do you want to focus on while you’re there? What do you want to do with the degree when you’re done? Do you want to start working? Do you want to do more research? What opportunities are out there for research funding? What is the job market looking for? Is there anyone in my network that can help me get there?

None of these have to be concrete plans, they just have to exist in some shape or form so that you have the ability to latch on to one when the opportunity arises.

If you’re doing something that you love doing, you’ll find a way to make it happen. All opportunity comes from the amount of effort you put into getting it! Thanks for reading and best of luck on your studies! Also Happy Anthropology Day! :)  -Lyss

Excerpt from this story from National Geographic:

Ever since college, when I’d read Peter Matthiessen’s book The Snow Leopard, I’d fixated on seeing one of these elusive creatures. Maybe because Matthiessen never did. In 1973 he and the legendary biologist George Schaller had spent two months hiking in Nepal and had seen signs of the cats—paw prints, scratch marks, scat—but never glimpsed one. At the time, Schaller was said to be one of only two Westerners who’d seen a wild snow leopard. In 1970 he’d taken what is believed to be the first photograph of a snow leopard in its natural habitat. For more than two decades, it would be the only such image known to exist of this solitary, obscure animal.

So it was profoundly ironic that as I finally was getting to see a snow leopard, the most prominent sound in my ear was the persistent whir of nearly two dozen cameras, capturing hundreds of images of the cat. On the cliff with Prasenjeet and me were tourists from around the world, most hunched over expensive telephoto lenses.

In the past few years, Kibber has become the place to see the cats with any predictability. But the journey is not for the faint of heart. The village is reachable only by a zigzagging, single-track road carved into impossibly steep mountains. And you must go in winter, when the snow leopards follow their prey to lower elevations, which means large stretches of the route are covered in snow and ice.

Their range extends across 12 Central Asian nations, covering 800,000 square miles of some of the harshest environments for humans. Lung-starving altitudes, frostbite-inducing temperatures, rugged, barren terrain—much of it inaccessible—all limit the amount and quality of scientific fieldwork.

In recent years a research team in Mongolia managed to put satellite collars on 32 snow leopards and learned much about the cats’ movements in the Tost Mountains of the Gobi desert. For example, an adult male there requires roughly 80 square miles of territory—an area about three and a half times the size of Manhattan—while a female needs about 48 square miles.

But such figures can’t be applied across the vast, diverse snow leopard range. The amount of land a cat needs in the high desert is likely different from what it needs in, say, Siberia. The availability of prey, proximity to humans, and other factors may increase or reduce the range it needs. The Snow Leopard Trust estimates that 3,500 to 7,000 snow leopards are on the planet, but Charu acknowledged that’s just an educated guess. “We’ve been able to study 1.5 percent of snow leopard habitat. We can’t really say how many there are.”

Do you remember when Rick and TF infiltrated one of the Saviors’ outpost (more specificall; the satellite)? What they did was exactly what Rick originally planned to do back in Season 5A when rescuing Beth and Carol from Grady. What do you think how things would’ve happened and went if TF executed Rick’s original plan when rescuing Beth and Carol? Would there any be casualties among TF? Would Beth be saved and finally escaped Grady? What do you think? The possibilities are endless.

The possibilities are definitely endless, but I tend to think things would have gone much worse in the long run if they'd have done that.

It's hard to see in an obvious way, because we still don't have those missing 17 days to point to, or confirmation of Beth's survival, yet. But remember the whole "it went the way it had to; the way it was always going to" line from 5x09? I believe they put that line in to show that, despite the appearances of her being killed, and the immense trauma TF went through over it, it's the only way she would have actually survived.

We know a little more now. It could be that the CRM were never going to let her leave alive for reasons we don't actually understand yet. So, if they'd tried to go in, guns blazing, she would have been killed for real, or else might have left with them, but then things would have gone terribly wrong later because they would have been pursued.

You can actually compare this to the satellite station in that it seemed to go well when TF first conducted the raid. Sure, Carol and Maggie were taken by Paula, but eventually they survived and escaped that as well. But that raid led directly to Glenn and Abraham's deaths, Daryl's emotional trauma, and everything else. So, even though things turned out well at first, it had immense, far-reaching ramifications, which included the deaths of beloved characters.

So, based on the theme and template of that, I think that things ultimately would have gone a lot worse if they'd have done the same thing at Grady.

Just my opinion and no way to prove it either way until we actually see Beth return, but as you all know, my hopes are uber-high. :D Thanks Nonny! Xoxo! 🍁💘

ADVANTAGES OF WIRELESS INTERNET

For some Internet users, it's difficult to determine which internet service providers provides the best service. There are numerous wisp crm providers that offer many options, how can you decide which one is best for your lifestyle, budget and routine data usage?

Internet service users have two options when selecting an internet service provider: wired and wireless internet. Each connection type has its own distinct list of advantages and drawbacks. But wireless internet provides a variety of advantages which make your internet experience more reliable, enjoyable and easily accessible. The benefits of wireless internet will save you cash, time and provide you with more freedom compared to wired connections. There are a variety of wisp software that are available in the market

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WIRED AS WELL AS WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTIONS

Like the name suggests, wired internet relies on physical connections between the device of the user as well as their provider. Service providers are able to provide wired internet to their customers in various ways.

Dial-up or DSL is accessible via normal phone lines.

Cable internet utilizes TV cables to send as well as receive Internet signals.

Broadband service connects via an underground network of fibre-optic cables.

However, wireless internet utilizes over-the-air signals in order to offer services to customers. Satellite Internet is one kind of wireless internet. Satellites orbiting orbits send signals between the users as well as the websites they load into their browsers for web browsing.

Another method of wireless internet service is to use radio waves to send digital information to customers. Some companies use cell phone towers to connect their customers to the internet. A portable modem lets users access the internet from almost any device with WiFi capabilities. Some smartphones have mobile hotspot features that allow them to use radio signals coming from their phone for connecting other gadgets to the web. There are many cloud-hosted hotspot management software that are available.

The reliability that your signal receives can be dependent on several variables. Satellite services are impacted by physical obstacles like mountains, trees or weather conditions could make it difficult to establish a stable connection. These issues have less impact on radio wave-based services. However, those in areas with no strong signal from their cell may require boosters to make the most of their mobile phone.

THE BENEFITS OF WIRELESS INTERNET

Wireless connections remain the most preferred method for both businesses and families to connect to the internet. But there are several reasons that people prefer wireless internet over traditional connections.

PORTABILITY

Users are limited in their choice of connectivity if they use wired connection. With wireless internet that is radio-based users are able to take their internet connection wherever they go. If you're on an individual hike or wandering through open houses or just relaxing in your friends' backyard, you'll be able to access the internet via WiFi-capable devices.

AFFORDABLE

Broadband internet services that are high-speed require a substantial investment in infrastructure. They often transfer their expenses onto their customers and this results in huge monthly bills for utilities. Wireless satellite services also require large usage charges. Wireless internet that is radio-based uses towers for cell phones that are widely available and readily accessible. The lower operating costs for service providers mean lower costs for subscribers.

IT IS EASY TO SHARE

When using a wired connection residents may experience difficulty connecting their signals to multiple devices. Installing a wireless router can be an option to make sure that all your guests can connect to your internet. One of the advantages from wireless broadband is that users do not require additional equipment to share the service with other devices within their range.

IT IS AVAILABLE IN REMOTE AREAS

Rural internet users are often faced with very restricted options. The expense of offering services to areas that have low population isn't always worth the expense of broadband service providers. Instead of settling for slow-moving dial-up connections, or expensive satellite services rural residents can benefit from affordable and reliable internet access.

Wireless internet provides you with the possibility of staying connected when you're on move, without having to carry heavy equipment and wires in buckets. Accessing internet via cell phone towers is also one of the most affordable methods to get internet access.

If you're in search of wifi bandwidth software services, you can contact Xceednet which provides all related internet-related services.
