#they need a higher *organization* use vs individual use

[snickerdoodlles]

@emberfaye ooohh okay, re: profit-making with genAI-- there is, uh. a lot to unpack about this and i couldn't condense it into a text post even if i wanted to, but i'll try to expand a bit on the specific thing i was thinking about when i wrote my tags.

okay so, very briefly: something really important to note about generative AI is that most versions you see nowadays are actually two models in a trenchcoat. for a long while in machine learning, people were working with individual small models that were trained on smaller and often niche training datasets for very specific tasks/applications. however, after the huge success with transformer architecture and some hardware improvement, people started developing foundation models, which are the huge AI models that are trained on massive and broad datasets that can be adapted to a bunch of smaller downstream tasks. and this was a big deal because we could pair the foundation models with the smaller, more specific AI models we were previously using.

(to put this into names that are more familiar: OpenAI's GPT series (ie GPT-1 thru GPT-4) are foundation models. ChatGPT is a LLM trained to fulfill the specific use-case/downstream task of "chatbot". )

and there's actually a lot of benefit to a two-model system! genAI is significantly better the more data it's trained on, but these huge foundation models are extremely expensive to make, it takes a significant amount of power and hardware, and these are so big they start to get too general for most tasks, so it's not really practical to build these up for any specific tasks. pairing them with a small/smaller use-case model narrows the focus of the foundation model's capability to a specific task, and its cheaper and faster to develop a smaller model for this system since the foundation model will provide a lot of the "power" and content generation.

i'm really skimming over how exactly they're setup, but i hope that makes sense? really, the specifics of how exactly these things work isn't important, i'm just trying to highlight that a lot genAI uses this sort of two-model system. because imo, the most viable line of profit AI developers have right now is licensing the APIs of the foundation models out to businesses and organizations who have or will develop their own specific use-case models to aid/streamline tasks or integrate into their workflow.

and they do do this! there's a lot of cool stuff coming out in how people are developing smaller use-case models rn! however, for a business to develop their own AI model, they have to:

identify a use-case

create a workforce team that knows and understands how to work with genAI

curate and develop their own databank to fine-tune their model for their use-case (which can range from data that's easy to input, such as tokenizing a PDF or handbook, to data that has to be specially formatted, labeled, and/or created in a format that the AI can process, which is about 250x more complex than anyone is willing to admit)

create an interface for users to interact with, and stress test their system with enough users and enough time to get it to mostly functional, and stress test some more to fix and patch over the holes made from genAI's brittleness, and

...yeah. so there are a lot of steps to this, all of which require time, personnel, and resources to be allocated to developing and implementing these things, and AI developers are desperately trying to market genAI as something easy.

there is so much obfuscation around how genAI actually works or what it's actually capable of doing, that most businesses and organizations don't have a clue on how to even identify a viable use-case for genAI. everyone really likes the idea of ~just plugging in~ AI to their workflow, but that's straight up not an option for any business or organization. (even the ones that did just ~plug-in~ ChatGPT quickly ran up against the issue that ChatGPT has a specific use-case, and that use-case is chatbot.)

to throw AI developers the smallest of bones, some of the confusion around genAI's potential capability is occurring because people are...well, human. humans love to anthropomorphize. we will make friends of rocks and vacuums. and while this is one of our most charming traits as a species, it makes us especially vulnerable to fall for genAI's mimicry and cast it as human.

but that's the extent to which i give them leniency, because the AI business absolutely exploits the shit out of this anthropomorphism. some of this "genAI has human-like intelligence" bullshit is coming from AI people who genuinely believe genAI is capable of or adequately represents human intelligence (this is idiotic. i am shoving Bender's stochastic parrot paper down their throats and nailing it to their foreheads for good measure as we speak. i could rave for days about the terrible benchmarks used to label """smartness""").

most of this though is AI developers obscuring the true extent of human labor that goes in to making the genAI puppet move. culturally, we so heavily associate "AI" with "substituting human work" that we're blind to both the human labor running it and the extent of our assumptions in its capability. we're so focused on the internet corpus these models eat we don't see the terabytes of human annotated or human generated training data needed to make them functional. we so heavily anthropomorphize we can't even conceive of the utterly alien way genAI processes data. and it's this sort of blindness that allows AI businessmen like sam fucking altman to make increasingly outrageous claims like us being on the brink of unlocking artificial general intelligence and not be immediately laughed out of the room.

as one reporter put it, "ChatGPT seems so human because it was trained by an AI that was mimicking humans who were rating an AI that was mimicking humans who were pretending to be a better version of an AI that was trained on human writing." (x <- a very good article on the unspoken human work that goes into genAI btws)

(seriously, there's a lot of unspoken labor that goes into genAI and even more than what that article covers, but the annotation work alone is massive. we figured out some things with unsupervised learning, but genAI heavily relies on human labeled data, because genAI is brittle as fuck.)

i actually don't mean to soapbox here (oops 😂💦), so kicking myself back to the profit thing: all the anthropomorphization and obfuscation of genAI means that a lot of people just straight up don't understand how to use it or even what it can actually do. genAI is a billion dollar investment searching for a trillion dollar problem. the area of it that currently holds the most potential, the smaller use-case models, is largely overshadowed by the claims that genAI is easy and simple and those promises immediately fall to pieces once you get past individual user cases.

rn, there is exactly one person living the AI dream promised by the AI tech-bros and he is a Kenyan data annotator on multiple accounts in multiple countries, using ChatGPT to speed through $10 annotation tasks. that man is a fucking king.

New Moon in Scorpio 2024: Seeds of Transformation

Hekate "Triple Goddess" Talon Abraxas

On October 31, 01:05 PM —

On November 1, 08:46 AM EST, we experience a New Moon at 9º34’ of Scorpio. This event is an opportunity to plant seeds of transformation and invite profound and lasting change in our reality by letting go of what has run its course or no longer serves us.

The Scorpio New Moon is a particularly relevant event for individuals born with natal placements in Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). The people personally impacted by this New Moon will have tangible and clear opportunities to transform specific areas of their lives and explore the root of any feelings of stuckness or resistance to change. This event will push them to confront deep-seated patterns and let go of what holds them back from growing.

New Moon in Scorpio: Exploring Darkness

New Moons mark the start of the lunar cycle: at this time of the month, the Moon is still invisible from our perspective on Earth. While she was disappearing from the night sky, gradually leaving us in complete darkness, she offered us opportunities to slow down the pace of our outer lives and invited us to nurture our inner lives and make more time for stillness and silence.

As the Sun and the Moon meet in the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio, we enter a lunar month particularly focused on our personal transformation journey: the invitation for us is to release what keeps us stuck and stagnant, challenge our existing limitations, and deepen our understanding of our psychology and emotional nature. This event encourages us to plant new seeds, set intentions for the weeks ahead, and renew areas of our lives in need of change and transformation. From now on, the momentum will gradually increase as the Moon will become visible again in the night sky, reaching her peak in two weeks, when the Full Moon in Taurus takes place.

Making the Unconscious Conscious

When the Moon is in Scorpio, we have an opportunity to explore our darkest, most intense and complex emotions and refine our ability to stay present as they arise, yet without letting them consume us.

In Scorpio, the Moon challenges us to ask ourselves and others more profound questions and refuse superficial answers. The focus goes on uncovering, revealing, and unearthing the link between our behaviors and choices and our wounds, disowned needs, and unacknowledged desires. Making the unconscious conscious, as Carl Jung said, becomes the central theme of the upcoming lunar month, one that will be colored by an intense pressure to evolve, grow, and transform, both individually and collectively.

This Scorpio New Moon won’t allow us to remain in the safety of denial or avoidance. This event demands emotional self-honesty: the lunar cycle that is starting is a time to face our shadows head-on and let go of ways of being that are no longer sustainable.

New Moon trine Saturn: Emotional Maturation

The Sun and the New Moon in Scorpio are forming a trine to retrograde Saturn in Pisces. Trines are 120º angles, aspects of flow and harmony that represent an effortless and organic connection between planets transiting signs that belong to the same element. The alignment between the New Moon and Saturn, the planet of responsibility, boundaries, and maturation processes will support and sustain those of us who have a sincere desire to mature emotionally and are willing to self-reflect.

In Pisces, Saturn’s transit has been marking a collective period of spiritual maturation, underlining the importance of being aware of tendencies toward avoidance and escapism and acting in integrity with our higher values. Saturn’s alignment to the Scorpio New Moon will support our ability to stay grounded as we navigate intense emotional experiences and motivate us to remain committed to our healing and transformation.

The Mars-Pluto Opposition: Egoic Desires vs Soul Desires

As the Scorpio New Moon takes place, Mars and Pluto are exactly opposing each other, respectively in Cancer and Capricorn. This is a very powerful aspect, and it is particularly significant in the context of this New Moon since we are dealing with the traditional (Mars) and the modern (Pluto) rulers of Scorpio.

The Mars-Pluto opposition increases our determination and drive, heightens our desire for intensity, and can bring repressed anger and unconscious fears to the surface. This alignment brings the spotlight on the tension between our egoic desires and our Soul’s desires. Around this time, many of us are experiencing a growing friction between what we think we want and need, and the path our Soul chose for us.

Mars being in Cancer offers us opportunities to see how unhealed wounds and unmet emotional needs from childhood can lead us to make choices that don’t serve our highest good and keep us stuck in dysfunctional attachments and patterns that limit our growth. Meanwhile, Pluto in Capricorn urges us to recognize our tendencies toward workaholism or an obsession with status, achievements, and material security as ways to avoid confronting emotional pain from our past.

Mars opposite Pluto: Evolutionary Threshold

As Pluto is entering Aquarius in November, we are experiencing the final Mars-Pluto opposition in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn. This alignment, happening at the critical 29º of both signs, marks a collective evolutionary threshold and offers us an opportunity to move beyond the polarization that often arises with oppositions and find a way to reconcile seemingly opposite and irreconcilable needs and desires.

The activation of the 29º marks a time of critical adjustments, breakthroughs, and potential turning points relative to the process we have been through in the past weeks, since Mars started opposing Pluto, but also within the broader context of the entire Pluto in Capricorn transit.

Moreover, the Mars-Pluto opposition is part of a larger aspect pattern technically known as a Kite, that also involves Mercury and Neptune, respectively trine and sextile Mars and Pluto. The Kite consists of a Grand Trine and a fourth planet opposing one of the planets in the Grand Trine. This configuration facilitates the release and resolution of the tension described by the opposition and supports our ability to access the wisdom and the lessons behind the struggle.

Mercury is opposing Uranus, while Venus is squaring Saturn and opposing Jupiter

As the New Moon in Scorpio takes place, Mercury, also in Scorpio, is opposing Uranus, retrograde in Taurus. The Mercury-Uranus alignment increases the general restlessness and facilitates access to sudden insights and downloads, as well as radical shifts in our thinking. The Mercury-Uranus opposition is part of another Kite pattern that involves Mars and Neptune, both trine Mercury and sextile Uranus. The prominence of the Kite pattern suggests that many of us will be able to access new opportunities to leverage our talents, skills, and gifts.

Meanwhile, Venus is in Sagittarius, squaring retrograde Saturn in Pisces and opposing retrograde Jupiter in Gemini. This configuration is technically referred to as a T-square, a pattern that creates a buildup of tension and frustration that demands resolution through change. The T-square between Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter invites a careful reevaluation of the alignment between our values, our relationships, and our financial decisions. These alignments offer us an opportunity to recognize where we may be making choices from a scarcity mindset and where instead we may be overly generous with our energy or expanding beyond our means.

New Moon in Scorpio: Planting Seeds of Transformation

This Scorpio New Moon is an invitation to commit to deepening our understanding of our unconscious, our true desires, the needs we are ashamed about, our fears, our aversions, and our cravings. It is a time to ask ourselves why we choose what we choose, why we tend to repeat patterns, why we get stuck in the same cycles, and accept potentially uncomfortable answers.

The New Moon in Scorpio reminds us that change is going to happen, whether we like it or not: resisting transformation and clinging to the known and the familiar only makes the process harder and more painful. This event is an invitation to plant seeds of transformation by allowing the necessary endings to take place and releasing attachments that keep us from growing. Only by releasing what has run its course, what lost its meaning, what keeps us stuck, and what is no longer true, we create space for change and evolution to organically unfold. -Moon Omens

[ceterisparibus116]

Hi DD fandom, I don’t usually do this (never have, actually), but I just want to...address this post real quick. I’m NOT trying to put anyone on blast here (and if anyone sees the original post, please be kind), but as a visually impaired person, there’s a lot I want to say.

1. Logic Games

Let’s address the logic games section of the LSAT. I might be misinterpreting, but it sounds to me like OP is saying Matt would struggle with the logic games, such that even with near-perfect scores on the other sections, he’d only net a 160-ish over all.

Now to be fair to OP, the LSAT is definitely not the most accessible thing in the world. And the logic games specifically are solved, generally, by diagramming things. That’s obviously difficult if you’re blind.

However, there are workarounds. “Blind LSAT-takers have historically used tactile mats, raised-line drawing apparatuses or Excel spreadsheets to tackle Logic Games.” Source. Now, I’m not saying those accommodations are easy to get, and maybe Matt wasn’t able to get them. But it’s certainly possible that he was.

Now let’s assume he wasn’t able to get any accommodations.

Even without those accommodations, the LSAT is a skills-based exam. This is key. The LSAT doesn’t test natural ability; it tests your ability to perform specific skills. And there are only a handful of possible types of logic games. You can only see so many “arrange the people sitting in the bus,” “arrange the flowers/trees growing in a garden,” “arrange the order of songs on a playlist,” and “arrange the order of speakers and which room they’ll occupy” prompts before you start to identify the patterns. Some are harder than others, with more variables to consider, but there are not that many variants overall.

Because the LSAT is a skills-based exam, all Matt needs to do, even without accommodations, is figure out a way to organize the information in his head. Now, it’s easier to organize the information in a diagram vs in your head, but all that matters is that the information is organized. It doesn’t matter whether it’s organized on paper or mentally. So saying logic games are “easier” with diagrams than without doesn’t mean that someone who uses diagrams will always score higher than someone who doesn’t; instead, it’s a question of time. It will take Matt more time to learn the harder skill of organizing the information in his head than it would take someone else to learn the easier skill of organizing the information in a diagram. But both skills (organizing mentally vs on paper) are sufficient to get a good score on the LSAT if you just put in the time.

And given that Matt has apparently wanted to be a lawyer since childhood, I have no doubt that he put in the time to master that skill enough to get the score he knew he’d need to go to the school he wanted.

2. Matt’s Personal Statement

This is the slightly more concerning issue. Personal statements are a chance for applicants to show why, aside from LSAT scores and GPAs and letters of recommendation, they would make a good lawyer. They are not the place for a personal sob story, except for two reasons:

a) using the “sob story” to demonstrate how the individual has persevered through hardship; and

b) using the “sob story” to explain certain less-than-outstanding aspects of the application.

In other words, Matt could say: “I’m exceptionally devoted to my studies and motivated by my desire to help others in need, as proven by the fact that even blindness failed to stop me from pursuing law school, despite the fact that law is a vision-intensive profession.”

It’s also possible that Matt could try to artfully say, “My LSAT score wasn’t stellar [if that’s true, which I question, but never mind for now] but that’s only because I’m visually impaired and lacked appropriate accommodations - not because the score actually reflects any deficiency in my reading or logic skills.”

Personally, I find it much more in-character to headcanon that Matt would go the first route rather than the second.

But what is not an option (at least, not a respectable option) is for a person to use their sob story to attempt to manipulate the school into using them as a diversity poster child despite having an inadequate application.

Do some people do that? Maybe, sure. Is that an appropriate thing to do? Absolutely not. Law school, beginning with the application process, is about being a good advocate for other people - it’s not about manipulating the system so you can get a “spot” to which you are not actually entitled. And how do you become entitled to having a “spot”? By having the skills good advocacy requires.*

Ultimately, attempting to shortcut the system to accept a person who is not a good advocate (but who has a great sob story) is depriving future clients of adequate representation.

Not to be dramatic, but Matt would rather die.

*I’m not saying that the application process is the perfect measure of the skills that will make you a good lawyer. But it’s sure better than letting people in based on how compelling their sob story is rather than based on their actual relevant skills.

3. Diversity Poster Boy

Now let’s address the broader concerns with the idea of a diversity poster boy. These concerns relate to society as a whole, not to any particular headcanon or to Matt as a fictional character, so I’m stepping out of the DD world for this part of the discussion.

What happens when we talk about diversity poster kids? What happens when we talk about people using hardship (including disabilities) to get an edge over people with more privilege? What happens when we talk about institutions like law schools accepting candidates not based on their qualifications but based instead on meeting some kind of diversity quota?

The result is that when people do overcome hardship and even oppression to get a spot at the table, everyone else says, “Oh, you’re the diversity hire.” People refuse to consider that maybe you’re there on your own merits, because the first thing they see about you is your diversity, and they assume that the only way you got to where you are is via manipulation.

Think about what it’s like, as a disabled person or any person of a “diverse” background, to live with that day after day. Where every accomplishment is tainted by people whispering, “But you didn’t really earn that, did you? You just flaunted your disability.”

I hope I don’t have to spell out how exhausting that is.

Now if there is hard evidence that people who are otherwise unqualified for a position are being accepted purely to meet some kind of quota...that’s one thing. We should absolutely be talking about that, especially in the legal profession - because it doesn’t do a client any good to have a lawyer who’s “diverse” if that lawyer doesn’t know how to actually help them.

But just throwing these terms around, detached from any statistical analysis, like this is just A Thing That Happens All The Time...we need to stop. It’s not helpful or funny. It’s harmful.

So please, let’s be careful.

Hi! I hope you are doing well 💫

My intials: B.P. (she/her)

DOB: 15 March 2003

3:20 Pm IST, Gurgaon, Haryana, India

I would like to know about my career.

Thank you so much 🫶

Hi🤗 For your reading I am going to use vedic astrology.

WRITING CAREER + PROFESSIONAL LIFE

For the first question if writing is a good career options for you, YES.

I found this tecnique where 10th house sign from the 1st lord in D1 or D9 chart indicates someone's career, in your case falls in aries in D1 chart and gemini in D9 chart.

Career Fields:

D1 Aries so anything related to leadership, sports and fitness/athletics, politics, boss, entrepreneur, healthcare, adventure, engineering, sales, marketing, firefighter, military, law enforcement, research and development, creative arts, etc

D9 Gemini so anything related to education, technology, public relations, communication, media, public speaker, marketing, advertising, travel and tourism, arts, creativity, writer, research, entrepreneur, admnistration, entrepreneur, journalism, consulting, etc.

Furthermore in D1 chart you have 10th lord mars in sagittarius mula in 6th house indicating that your career can be connected to writing and publishing due to mula sagittarius (education/teaching/research/law/philosophy/healing/others); can involve service, routine, organization, discipline and solving conflicts/helping others (6th house), perhaps you heal your readers with your writing, your books can inspire other people, transform their lives (mula); you might experience a lot of obstacles and competition in your career with other writers or issues with your editor for example ( mars 6th house) and go through intense transformative periods (mula) though don't worry you are very determined and hardworking, you will be able to overcome these obstacles and grow even stronger.

If we want to see about financial gains and stability we would need to look at your 2nd lord in D1 you have sun in pisces in 9th house this indicates that you might earn more money in a foreign land (working abroad or with foreigners) or higher education is really important like studying creative writing or liberal arts or philosophy in college can help you succeed and gain recognition in your writing career (pisces is connected to creativity). Since it's aspecting your mars  10th lord it's important that your career allows you to shine individually and work as a leader (you might have issues with your boss/authority figures/teacher so working independently or leading a team is a better option). You must also be careful with high expectations vs reality and idealism vs practicality, how to work creatively in a disciplined way, etc.

Additionally 2nd lord sun is aspecting scorpio ketu in 5th house by 9th aspect indicating possible obstacles related to creativity, hobbies, education, might make you detached from past beliefs related to these themes focusing  on new, inovative or unconventional ways to earn money through learning or higher education for example; you will notice that you earn more money after a transformative (spiritual/intense) period in your life.

2nd lord sun is actually aspecting 6th lord cancer jupiter in 1st house by 5th house which confirms financial growth through service oriented careers, healing, higher education, travelling and expanding the way you see the world (beliefs/philosophies/spirituality), etc.

Since 6th lord jupiter is in cancer conjunct moon, it's essential that your work environment allows you freedom (flexible hours for example), to express yourself, your emotions/feelings; a comfortable/nurturing, positive, open environment (family or mother/female figure could be relevant -> support you) can make you grow; tapping into your emotions (intuition/creativity) to write your books; future spouse could also be working with you or helping you (jupiter is significator of spouse); etc.

Jupiter is aspecting your capricorn venus in 7th house by 7th aspect indicating that your future spouse and relationships/partnerships have a strong influence on your emotional stability at work; you might have a business with them or contract relationships; they might contribute to your sucess; harmony and balance between career and relationships is key👌

Not just that jupiter is aspecting your aquarius mercury(3rd lord ->skills) in 8th house indicating that you might write about deep/unconventional/futuristic/fantasy/occult topics, influencing other people ->healing them; experience transformation in your environment; working with investors,  sharing resources with your spouse or business partners; work in secret maybe you could be an anonymous author; etc.

Lastly jupiter is aspecting taurus saturn + rahu in 11th house by 11th aspect that shows teamwork, working online, media, social connections, professional networking (large companies), innovation are relevant. With saturn energy this can cause delays/obstacles in making connections, with your coworkers, gaining financial stability and fame/success, etc. (you might have to put a lot of effort and be patient; after you saturn return you will see that all your hardwork paid off👀)

The rahu energy can cause chaos, confusion, fluctuations related to your financial gains, professional networks and work environment.

In D10 chart you have gemini 10th house another huge confirmation that your career is related to communication, writing, knowledge,etc.

10th lord mercury is in chitra libra in 2nd house conjunct chitra ketu and swati saturn(6th lord) meaning that you will earn money through creative, innovative, online, media, unconventional, independent, flexible, service oriented (routine), healing, disciplined/practical career fields during a transformative period in your life. It's confirming everything I've said above. Money and sucess in your career can be achieved later in life.

Moreover 10th lord is aspecting 2nd lord aries aswhini venus conjunct Mars and rahu in 8th house by 7th aspect reaffirming transformation, healing, spirituality themes and that money and sucess might come after a transformative period or attaining personal growth.

JOB TIMING

Regarding when you will get a job:

D1 CHART

In D1 chart you have taurus jupiter transiting your 11th house saturn (6th lord) and rahu so there is already a good sign for this year till may 2025 (jupiter brings abundance and luck in professional networking, large companies, fame, etc).

Rahu/ketu pisces/virgo transit is affecting your 2nd lord sun in pisces 9th house bringing you new unconventional ways of earning money, maybe you will travel, work with foreigners, study creative arts; you might also be more recognized/confident in your work environment. ( Be careful with overindulgence, ego, chaos, high expectations vs practicality, illusion vs reality).

NOTE1: Sun is your Darakaraka só you might be meeting your future spouse this year👀👀👀 or if you are already in a relationship 💍.

Aquarius saturn transit is influencing your mercury in 8th house, so you might have been experiencing some challenges/delays perhaps writing blocks, lack of inspiration, issues with your business partners or investors, anxiety/depression, fears of expressing yourself, transformative period, etc.

D7 CHART

In D7 chart you have aquarius saturn transit in your 10th house with mars this can indicate challenges/delays in your career, power struggles with authority figures, business partners, achieving your goals, etc ( Be patient and don't give up🙏)

Taurus jupiter transit is influencing your 10th lord saturn with moon in 1st house so this actually eases the saturn transit in 10th house bringing optimism, abundance and success in your career. So even though you might have delays/obstacles you will be able to overcome it with motivation, positivity, wisdom, discipline and emotional support (perhaps your family/mother figure can help you).

Rahu/ketu pisces/virgo transit is affecting your 11th/5th house (ketu transit is conjunct virgo sun in 5th house) so you might be rethinking about romantic relationships and friendships, personal goals vs social endeavours, new social networks and aspirations/dreams, individuality vs union/teamwork, engaging in spiritual/unconventional activities/hobbies -> inspiration in your writing, changing yourself (transformation on personal expression), etc.

NOTE2: When jupiter, saturn, rahu/ketu are transiting in the same or opposite sign of sun, saturn, rahu/ketu in D7 chart it indicates a major event might happen during this time of your life like meeting your future spouse or a partner, engagement, pregnancy, career,success,fame, breakup, divorce, moving out, etc.(This technique is by Camila Regina from tiktok).  

DASHAS/TIME PERIODS/TRANSITS

You are currently running venus-venus-mars dasha (10th lord mars in D1 chart) till 4 september this year. I am leaning towards pisces eclipse in september (affecting your 2nd lord sun in 9th house that is aspecting your 10th lord) you might get a job offer abroad or work with foreigners (foreign company), etc.

Next year 2025 you also have good chances since rahu will be in aquarius after 19 may transiting your mercury in 8th house D1 chart (you will express yourself more, be inspired, etc),  your 10th house in D7 chart bringing opportunities and sucess in your career, your 6th house in D10 chart changing your work environment, daily routine, health, etc; jupiter will be transiting in gemini in may aspecting your 10th lord sagittarius mars in D1 bringing growth and opportunities related to communication/writing fields and affecting your 10th house in D10 chart bringing abundance in your career;  in october you will have your jupiter return in cancer affecting your 6th lord in D1 chart, 11th house (jupiter) in your D10 chart (fame/recognition/luck), among other factors; etc.

If we want to be more specific/accurate there is a technique I am trying out by KRS Kapiel that when the saturn is trine/conjunct transiting your natal moon/saturn you might get a job. You have natal (D1 chart) taurus saturn and cancer moon. So when moon is transiting virgo, taurus and capricorn or saturn transiting in scorpio, cancer, pisces, virgo, capricorn and taurus.

Moon is transiting capricorn 17 august till 19 august (full moon👀 and moon will aspecting your cancer jupiter 6th lord and 7th house venus  -> work/health/contract/love/relationships/business).

Saturn is a slower planet so the next transit will be in pisces next year 2025 in 20 march.

You can check this link to see the moon + saturn transits: https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/calculate-sidereal-vedic-ephemeris-august-2024/?&aya=lahiri&&presnost=1&

NOTE3: If you notice your sagittarius mars 10th lord and your 2nd lord pisces are both ruled by jupiter (sign ruled) which is in cancer -> cancer/capricorn transits are fundamental.🫰

NOTE4: Accordingly to D1/D7/D10 charts (this technique is from Camila Regina tiktok) you might have sucess or fame when saturn, rahu/ketu are transiting the signs of aries/libra/taurus/scorpio.

Okay I think I am done😅 I hope you like this reading if you do leave feedback on my page🙏 And let me know if it resonates👌it helps improving my readings🫶💜

Understanding Power BI Licensing: Which Plan is Right for You?

Power BI is a powerful tool that can transform how businesses visualize and interact with their data. However, choosing the right Power BI licensing plan is crucial for maximizing its benefits while managing costs effectively. In this blog, we’ll explore the different Power BI licensing options available and how you can determine which plan best suits your needs. We’ll also discuss how Power BI development services can play a role in optimizing your Power BI experience.

1. Power BI Free vs. Power BI Pro

The Power BI licensing landscape starts with two basic options: Power BI Free and Power BI Pro.

Power BI Free: This plan is ideal for individuals who need to create and explore reports and dashboards independently. With Power BI Free, users can access core features such as data visualization tools and basic data connectivity. However, sharing reports and collaborating with others is limited.

Power BI Pro: For more advanced needs, Power BI Pro offers enhanced features and collaboration capabilities. This plan is designed for teams and organizations that require more extensive sharing and collaboration options. It includes the ability to share reports, collaborate in real-time, and access more sophisticated data management features.

If you require the ability to share and collaborate on reports, Power BI Pro is often the better choice. Many businesses opt for Power BI Pro as part of their Power BI development services to ensure that their teams can work together effectively.

2. Power BI Premium

Power BI Premium is another option designed for larger organizations or those with more advanced data needs. This plan offers dedicated cloud resources and enhanced features beyond what’s available in Power BI Pro.

Capacity-Based Licensing: Unlike Power BI Pro, which is user-based, Power BI Premium is capacity-based. This means you pay for dedicated cloud resources rather than individual licenses. This can be more cost-effective for larger organizations with many users.

Advanced Features: Power BI Premium includes features such as large dataset support, advanced data refresh options, and higher data storage limits. It also provides access to advanced AI capabilities and the ability to publish reports to a broader audience without requiring each user to have a Pro license.

For organizations with large datasets, extensive reporting needs, or those looking for enhanced performance, Power BI Premium might be the right choice. Integrating Power BI development services can help optimize the use of Premium features and ensure you’re getting the most value from your investment.

3. Power BI Premium Per User (PPU)

Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) is a more recent addition to the licensing options. It combines some of the advanced features of Power BI Premium with a more flexible, user-based pricing model.

User-Based Licensing: PPU allows individuals to access Premium features on a per-user basis, rather than purchasing a full capacity-based Premium license. This can be a cost-effective solution for smaller teams or organizations that need advanced features but don’t have the scale to justify a full Premium license.

Access to Premium Features: With PPU, users gain access to features such as larger data model sizes, advanced AI capabilities, and more frequent data refreshes, similar to those in the full Premium plan.

PPU is an excellent option for organizations looking for Premium capabilities without the full commitment of a Premium license. Power BI development services can assist in implementing and optimizing PPU features to meet your specific needs.

4. Power BI Report Server

For organizations that prefer an on-premises solution, Power BI Report Server offers an alternative to the cloud-based options. This plan allows you to host and manage Power BI reports on your own servers.

On-Premises Deployment: Power BI Report Server is designed for businesses that require on-premises data storage due to regulatory or compliance reasons. It allows for the creation and management of Power BI reports within your own infrastructure.

Integration with SQL Server: Power BI Report Server is included with SQL Server Enterprise Edition with Software Assurance or can be purchased separately. It integrates seamlessly with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), providing a comprehensive reporting solution.

If your organization has specific requirements for on-premises deployment or needs to integrate with existing SQL Server environments, Power BI Report Server might be the right choice. Working with Power BI development services can help you set up and manage an effective on-premises reporting solution.

5. Choosing the Right Plan for Your Needs

Determining the best Power BI licensing plan for your organization involves assessing several factors:

Number of Users: Consider how many users will need access to Power BI and what type of access they require. If collaboration and sharing are essential, Power BI Pro or Premium may be necessary.

Data Volume and Complexity: Evaluate the size and complexity of your datasets. Larger datasets and more complex reporting needs may benefit from the advanced features offered by Power BI Premium or PPU.

Deployment Preferences: Decide whether you need a cloud-based or on-premises solution. If you require on-premises deployment, Power BI Report Server is the appropriate option.

Budget: Factor in the cost of licensing against the features and capabilities you need. Power BI development services can help you assess the cost-benefit ratio of different plans and determine the most cost-effective solution.

Conclusion

Understanding Power BI licensing options is crucial for maximizing the value of your investment in this powerful data analytics tool. Whether you choose Power BI Free, Power BI Pro, Power BI Premium, Power BI Premium Per User, or Power BI Report Server, each plan offers distinct features and benefits to cater to different needs.

Working with a knowledgeable team can make a significant difference in optimizing your Power BI environment. Mismo System provides Power BI development services that can help you navigate the complexities of Power BI licensing and ensure that you choose the plan that best aligns with your organizational goals. By leveraging expert insights and tailored solutions, you can unlock the full potential of Power BI and drive more effective data-driven decision-making.

VPS vs shared hosting

When launching a website, you need to choose a best and affordable web hosting provider that can give you with server space after purchasing a domain name. It might be confusing to choose from the wide variety of hosting options that are available, each designed to accommodate a distinct kind of website. Here we'll discuss the two most often used web hosting options to meet your needs: VPS and shared servers. We'll go over each one's fundamentals, features, and workings.

What is shared hosting and how it works?

In cheap shared hosting your website will share the same resources as other users who are using the same shared hosting server. These resources include the central processing unit (CPU), disk space, and memory. When it comes to website hosting, cheap shared hosting is the most cost-effective choice available. It is unfortunate that your website may have a restricted bandwidth, and it will become slow when there is a lot of traffic overwhelming websites that are hosted on the same server as you currently are. You are able to take pleasure in the pool when it is not busy, but you must still be prepared for the time when everyone will be there and things will become congested. Cheap Shared hosting is very similar to this situation.

Why to choose shared hosting?

Shared hosting is a far more affordable alternative, particularly if you are working with a limited budget. Due to the fact that shared hosting does not necessitate a great deal of complicated configurations or extensive technological knowledge, it is an excellent choice for individuals who are just starting out as website owners. The web hosting provider is responsible for virtually all of the management and maintenance tasks that are associated with the servers that are used for shared hosting plans. As a result, you will be able to devote more of your attention to the operation of your website rather than to patching or updating your server.

What is VPS hosting and how it works?

Through best virtual private server hosting, you will continue to share a single physical server; however, each user will have access to a unique collection of resources. This means that other websites that are hosted on the same server will not have an impact on your website, in contrast to cheap shared hosting. For the purpose of hosting a website on a virtual private server (VPS), each user is provided with their very own dedicated virtual partition, which guarantees that resources are constantly accessible to them. Obviously, virtual private servers (VPS) are more expensive than shared hosting.

Why to choose VPS hosting?

You have a better level of control over the infrastructure that is responsible for powering your website when you choose best virtual private server hosting since it puts you in charge of the organization. Having root access to the server, installing your own software and programs, and adding user accounts are all included in this. Virtual private server (VPS) hosting plans are still within the price range of many people and small enterprises, in contrast to dedicated hosting plans. When you take into account the fact that virtual private server hosting (VPS) has many of the same features as dedicated hosting, it is easy to understand why it is such a well-liked and affordable choice. Your web projects will benefit from a speedier and more efficient distribution of resources when you choose virtual private server hosting because it comes with higher-end server hardware from the beginning. In addition, these resources are completely devoted to your website, which enables you to partition them in any way that you believe is necessary.

A Comparison Between Virtual Private Server Hosting and Shared hosting-

The most significant distinction between cheap shared hosting and best virtual private server hosting is that shared hosting offers a package that is already configured and ready to use, which restricts the customization possibilities available to you. On the other hand, best virtual private server (VPS) hosting gives you the freedom to customize as you want it to be configured. On the other hand, given that the virtual private server (VPS) setup calls for a certain level of technical expertise, it might not be the greatest choice for beginners.

Due to the fact that you share a server with other websites, cheap shared hosting is the choice that is more cost-effective. Although you are only provided with a restricted number of resources, you are able to keep a tiny website up and running without paying an excessive amount of money. On the other side, best virtual private server hosting (VPS) offers more flexibility and performance as compared to shared hosting. Understanding the fundamental definitions of web hosting is not enough; thus, we will present you with some comparisons between the two forms of hosting in order to assist you in making a more informed decision regarding whether or not to switch from shared hosting to virtual private server hosting.

Costs-

As far as the category of cost, cheap shared hosting is the clearly best. On the other hand, the prices of virtual private server hosting have a higher advantage. The virtual private server (VPS) hosting plans are slightly more expensive than the shared hosting plans; however, in comparison to the shared hosting plans, the VPS hosting plans provide significantly greater bandwidth and storage capacity.

Security-

No matter what kind of website you run, security is an absolutely necessary component. When it comes to hosting your website, both types of hosting are relatively safe and reliable options; however, there are significant distinctions between the two. If you use cheap shared hosting, it is possible that your website will be impacted if there is an error found on another website. It is also possible that the speed of your website will decrease if other websites consume an excessive amount of the shared bandwidth. It is especially important to keep this in mind if your website receives a lot of visitors. By utilizing affordable virtual private servers (VPS), you will be able to avoid this issue, as the partitioned servers will ensure that each website functions in the appropriate manner. On the other hand, if you do not possess the technical expertise necessary to properly maintain your virtual private server, you want to think about the alternatives available to you. It has the potential to cause a whole host of other issues if it is not managed properly.

Control-

It is recommended that you go for affordable virtual private server (VPS) hosting rather than a cheap shared hosting plan if you are searching for more advanced options for your website. You will be granted root access to the server, which will allow you to install your own operating system, control panel, and software in order to improve the site's performance and security. You should look into Cyberpanel hosting if you are searching for a simple setup process. This hosting service comes with a preloaded control panel that is easy to use. When you use a shared hosting plan, on the other hand, you are restricted to just employing conventional server configurations. Those individuals who wish to refrain from engaging in the management of server tasks on their own may find this to be a more comfortable option.

Capacity to Grow-

Compared to shared hosting, virtual private server hosting (VPS) is far simpler to scale up. Shared hosting is an excellent choice for a short-term plan or a tiny online page; but, if your website receives a significant amount of traffic, you will experience more difficulties with the general performance of the web hosting service. Virtual private server hosting enables you to scale your website in a rapid and easy manner. If you are able to forecast the growth of your website, VPS hosting could be an excellent investment for your future.

Management of the Servers-

In the event that you decide to host your website using shared hosting, you will be expected to perform very little to no technical upkeep yourselves. Shared hosting service providers are responsible for the installation of the shared server, the installation and updating of any essential software, such as cPanel, as well as the monitoring of the servers to prevent any downtime and effectively take care of the back server. The management of resources is a little bit more difficult with virtual private server hosting, on the other hand. For administration and management purposes, it requires expertise that is somewhat more advanced. The good news is that virtual private server hosting gives you the ability to tweak and manage apps and software to improve the performance of your website. Additionally, it grants you root access and enables you to tailor the back end to your specific requirements.

Conclusion-

After you have gained an understanding of the distinctions between virtual private server (VPS) hosting and shared hosting, it is time to consider which type of hosting is most suitable for your particular circumstances. The expectations that you have for your website will strongly influence the web hosting plan that you choose. Hosting on a virtual private server (VPS) gives you access to benefits that shared hosting cannot supply. On the other hand, there are advantages to both of the hosting solutions.

Midori's alignment: True/Chaotic Neutral

A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil-after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way.

True Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion.

True Neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.

True neutral characters are concerned with their own well-being and that of the group or organization which aids them. They may behave in a good manner to those that they consider friends and allies, but will only act maliciously against those who have tried to injure them in some way. For the rest, they do not care. They do not wish ill on those they do not know, but they also do not care when they hear of evil befalling them. Better for others to suffer the evil than the true neutral and his allies. If an ally is in need, the true neutral will aid him, out of genuine love or because he may be able to count on that ally a little more in the future. If someone else is in need, they will weigh the options of the potential rewards and dangers associated with the act. If an enemy is in need, they will ignore him or take advantage of his misfortune.

True neutrals are offended by those who are opinionated or bigoted. A "hell-fire and brimstone" lawful good priest is just as offensive as a neutral evil racial supremacist in their eyes. They do not necessarily strive for philosophical balance. In fact, they may avoid philosophical considerations altogether. A true neutral may take up the cause of his nation, not because he necessarily feels obligated to do so, but because it just makes sense to support the group that protects your way of life. True neutrals tend to believe in lex talionis forms of justice.

True neutral characters tend to remain nonjudgmental and uncommitted to any moral, legal, or philosophical system beyond the basic tenets of their own society. Despite this fact, true neutral beings do not resent being into struggles involving different viewpoints. True neutral individuals do not lack interest, ambition, or passion--they value their own well-being and that of friends and loved ones. They may struggle passionately on behalf of themselves or others, as well as feel compassion for those they barely know. In fact, since most humans are true neutral, it is the alignment of the majority of people encountered in day-to-day situations.

A true neutral character will keep his word if in his best interest. He may attack an unarmed foe if he feels it necessary. He will not kill, but may harm an innocent. He may use torture to extract information, but never for pleasure. He will never kill for pleasure, only in self-defense or in the defense of others. A true neutral character may use poison as long as there is an overwhelming need. He will help those in need if it is in his best interest and works well alone or in a group. He responds well to higher authority until that authority attempts to use the law to hamper his ability to pursue his own self-interest. He will follow the law unless breaking it is in his best interest and he's reasonably sure that he will not be caught. He will never betray a family member, comrade, or friend unless the situation is dire. True neutral characters are indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they can be used to advance their own interests.

A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it.

Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal.

Chaotic neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all authority, harmony, and order in society.

Above respect for life and good, or disregard for life and promotion of evil, the chaotic neutral places randomness and disorder. Good and evil are complimentary balance arms. Neither are preferred, nor must either prevail, for ultimate chaos would then suffer. This view of the cosmos holds that absolute freedom is necessary. Whether the individual exercising such freedom chooses to do good or evil is of no concern. After all, life itself is law and order, so death is a desirable end. Therefore, life can only be justified as a tool by which order is combated, and in the end it too will pass into entropy.

These characters will almost always seek some selfish goal (such as acquiring wealth) in addition to the promotion of universal disorder, and are thus seen as "greedy" by others. Naturally, the chaotic neutral being won't see this as greed, but rather as "self-fulfillment." Thus, respect for others does not stand in the way of the pursuit of individuality.

How to Choose the Right Toothpaste: A Guide for Canadian Consumers

When it comes to oral health, choosing the right toothpaste is essential to maintaining a healthy smile. With so many options available on the market, it can be overwhelming for Canadian consumers to know which one to choose. From whitening formulas to fluoride-free options, finding the best toothpaste for your needs requires understanding the various types and their specific benefits. At Limegreen Dental, we’re committed to helping you make informed choices about your oral care. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the toothpaste aisle and select the right product for your dental needs.

1. Understand the Basics: Fluoride vs. Fluoride-Free

Fluoride is a key ingredient in most toothpastes and plays a vital role in preventing tooth decay. It helps to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against cavities by remineralizing the teeth. For most people, fluoride toothpaste is highly recommended because of its proven ability to protect teeth from cavities and decay.

However, some individuals may prefer fluoride-free toothpaste, particularly those who are sensitive to fluoride or have young children. Fluoride-free toothpaste often contains natural ingredients like baking soda, essential oils, and herbs that may still help clean teeth and freshen breath. If you or your child is prone to swallowing toothpaste, fluoride-free options may be worth considering.

2. Identify Your Specific Dental Needs

Your choice of toothpaste should be tailored to your specific oral health concerns. Here are some of the most common issues and the types of toothpaste that can address them:

Cavity Protection: If you’re looking to prevent cavities and strengthen your enamel, choose a fluoride toothpaste with cavity protection claims. These formulas typically contain a higher concentration of fluoride to offer better protection against decay.

Sensitive Teeth: For those with sensitive teeth, special toothpaste formulas are designed to reduce discomfort caused by hot, cold, or sweet foods. These toothpastes typically contain compounds like potassium nitrate or strontium chloride that help block pain signals from the nerves in your teeth.

Whitening Toothpaste: If your goal is to brighten your smile, whitening toothpaste might be the right choice. These toothpastes contain mild abrasives that help remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, or tobacco. Some whitening formulas also contain special chemical agents that break down stains for a more radiant smile. However, it’s important to note that while whitening toothpaste can help with surface stains, they may not be effective at removing deeper discoloration or stains caused by certain medications.

Tartar Control: Tartar, also known as dental calculus, forms when plaque is not properly removed and hardens on the teeth. Toothpaste with tartar control properties can help prevent this buildup. These formulas often contain active ingredients like pyrophosphates or zinc citrate, which prevent plaque from hardening into tartar.

3. Consider Your Preference for Ingredients

Many Canadians are becoming more conscious of the ingredients in the products they use, including toothpaste. If you prefer more natural or organic ingredients, look for toothpaste options that emphasize eco-friendly or natural formulations. Some brands offer fluoride-free, paraben-free, and SLS-free toothpastes, which can be a good choice for those with sensitivities or concerns about harsh chemicals.

Common natural toothpaste ingredients include:

Charcoal: Charcoal is touted for its ability to absorb surface stains and detoxify the mouth. While some people enjoy using charcoal toothpaste for its whitening properties, it’s important to use it with caution as it can be abrasive if used too often, potentially damaging enamel over time.

Aloe Vera: Known for its soothing properties, aloe vera toothpaste can help reduce inflammation and irritation in the gums, making it a good option for those with gingivitis or other gum issues.

Tea Tree Oil: Tea tree oil is often found in toothpaste marketed as antibacterial or antimicrobial. It’s praised for its ability to reduce bacteria in the mouth, helping to prevent bad breath and gum disease.

4. Pay Attention to the ADA Seal of Acceptance

In Canada, the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) provides the “Seal of Recognition” to toothpaste brands that meet their strict standards for safety and effectiveness. When choosing a toothpaste, look for this seal on the packaging as it indicates that the product has been tested and approved by dental professionals.

The American Dental Association (ADA) also offers its own Seal of Acceptance, which can be found on toothpaste products in both Canada and the U.S. This seal ensures that the toothpaste has been clinically proven to be safe and effective for oral health.

5. Consider Your Toothbrush Compatibility

The type of toothbrush you use can also influence the toothpaste you choose. If you’re using a soft-bristled toothbrush, almost any toothpaste will work well with it. However, if you’re using a hard-bristled toothbrush or an electric toothbrush, it’s important to choose a toothpaste that is gentle and not too abrasive. Abrasive formulas can wear down enamel over time, leading to increased tooth sensitivity or even enamel erosion.

Electric toothbrushes often come with specific recommendations for toothpaste, so it’s a good idea to consult the user manual to ensure you’re using a compatible product.

6. Look for Additional Benefits

Some toothpaste brands offer extra benefits beyond basic cleaning. For example:

Breath Freshening: Many toothpastes are formulated with added flavorings like mint or spearmint to help freshen your breath and keep your mouth feeling clean.

Gum Health: Toothpaste designed to support gum health often includes active ingredients that help reduce inflammation and prevent gum disease. If you have bleeding or swollen gums, consider using toothpaste designed to protect and care for the gums.

Natural and Eco-Friendly Options: As sustainability becomes a growing concern, more toothpaste brands are offering eco-friendly alternatives. Look for toothpaste with recyclable packaging or even toothpaste tablets if you want to minimize plastic waste.

7. Consult Your Dentist for Recommendations

If you're unsure which toothpaste is best for you, don't hesitate to consult your dentist. Your dentist can assess your oral health needs and recommend a toothpaste that will provide the most benefit. Regular dental checkups are essential to keeping your teeth and gums in great shape, and your dentist can provide personalized advice on the best toothpaste for your unique needs.

ConclusionChoosing the right toothpaste is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. With so many different options available, it’s important to consider your specific dental needs, preferences for ingredients, and any sensitivities you may have. Whether you need fluoride protection, whitening benefits, or relief for sensitive teeth, there’s a toothpaste that can help. At Limegreen Dental, we’re here to guide you in making the best choices for your dental care, ensuring you keep your smile bright and healthy for years to come.

➝ Only by Knowing the Methods by Which We are Being Deceived Can We Progress.

Most of us try to live through the idea of what we consider to be “good”. But our ability to actualize the authentic, genuine, real, true good is limited by various barriers.

Many falsities are accepted as “truth” which creates an illusory perceptual framework of reality that blinds us to what is actually happening. By digging deeper into the false reality we have been conditioned into tacitly accepting, we can begin to uncover the hidden parts of reality that exists outside of the normalized standards of acceptability and vision that people are restricted to seeing.

Only by knowing the methods in which we are being deceived and made to believe in falsity, can we begin to progress in evolving consciousness and actualizing truer, realer and higher potential versions of ourselves. This is part of many ancient stories, tales, mysteries, legends and myths, about living in the path and way of truth, “love”, right, good, “higher self”, “higher will”, “spirit”, etc.

The conditioning into falsity has our truer potential selves inhibited from being, from living out what is more right, good and true towards a fuller potential realization and actualization.

Our truer potential self is at the core of our being, but has been masked and overridden by subsequent programming into the conditioning of false living that preexists in society. We are formed, shaped and molded by the environment around us, with all the truer and the falser ways of living within.

The current condition is the template we use to copy and conform to society and its normalcy.

The falsities of society then become false proxy substitutes for the real things that we deeply long to live, exemplify and embody deep down to our core being (truth, morals, principles, values). But we are denied the greater realization, actualization, individuation and fulfillment of becoming that truer, realer and higher potential version of ourselves.

Our ego-personality-identity construct is programmable, and as such, can receive input from different sources to develop into what it becomes. Garbage in, garbage out. Quality in, quality out.

Where does our time, attention, energy, effort, determination, dedication and persistence go?

We need to prioritize learning truth and morality and bring that more into the way we are living.

Social normalcy describes the acceptability provided by the conventions of society.

Successful integration into the various social constructs (culture, tradition, fashion, etc.) is dependent upon the compliance and conformity with the normalcy of that social subsystem that is part of the global social organization. Each successive subconstruct is more “individuated” towards a particular conditioned form or image (different cultures, countries).

This conditioning is seen in duty and responsibility towards false ways of living that are believed to be legitimate, “good” and “ordered”. This is obvious in the degrees of devotion of various constructs man creates, such as fashion groupings, particular activities people group themselves around, in-group vs. out-group identifications of other kinds, religion, politics, police, military, elitism, and other favoritism to be in certain groups for social acceptability.

Each subsystem/subconstruct set itself apart from the greater aggregation of cultures or civilization, and provide directed avenues of structured and controlled “variability” or “freedom”. This so-called variability is a false proxy of “individuality”, and leads one to become attached to a pseudo-individuality construct.

These false pathways and avenues of so-called “freedom” for people to allegedly “choose” from, is part of the process of forming our self-image and identity, and our worldview. For the most part, these preselected paths also provide a re-channeling of the energy of each individual unit into a “free-market” allocation of their universal constructibility.

We are universal constructors, capable of performing an almost infinite number of tasks and operations to procure, preserve, protect and project the system of control and enslavement that influences, molds and shapes with outcome-based education.

We sustain the system by being interchangeable universal constructors, capable of fitting ourselves into a particular avenue or pathway of energy generation within the system, as a replaceable cog in the machine.

In the scientific dictatorship of pure utilitarianism and systems thinking, we are essentially just numbers, human resources, energy units to be used to accomplish specific goals, controlled in a similar way to the hive mind of queens in insect colonies.

We have to work to remove falsity in ourselves and the world, in order to let that which ‘is’, truth and moral truth, shine through unadulterated from our core being. It can be viewed in this negative pathway of removing falsity, or as actively bringing in what is right, good and true in order to realize (real eyes realize real lies) and identify the falsity to remove it.

“Humans can be literally poisoned by false ideas and false teachings. Many people have a just horror at the thought of putting poison into tea or coffee, but seem unable to realize that, when they teach false ideas and false doctrines, they are poisoning the timebinding capacity of their fellow men and women… Humans are thus made untrue to “human nature.” – Manhood of Humanity

As we accept and spread falsity, we become more untrue to our core being that seeks to align with reality in order to perceive, conceive, understand and navigate correctly, rather than foolishly fumble around.

As a result of conditioning into falsity and living as a falser self, our sense of what is good, right and true gets corrupted. Our truer self potential is greatly diminished as a result of a diminished care for truth and morality within us. The compass of care, compassion, empathy, conscience is out of whack, out of alignment with the inherent “magnetic force” of our core potential to do better.

As a result of our attachment to the falsity we use as a basis to form our ego-personality-identity construct, people don’t live by the objective tight and good, they choose their deeds based on what they can get away with, with what is subjectively “right” and “good” in their delusional morally relativistic framework.

The subconscious knows the conflict and absurdity of some man’s deluded “laws” contradicting natural moral law we can all recognize within us if we think clearly and objectively about things. People don’t obey the ludicrousness of some deluded man’s law in this semi-awareness from the subconscious that some ” laws” are ridiculous, but yet those people never learn more about morality to understand it correctly. They just do whatever they can get away with within some man’s law, while moral law/truth is not even considered.

If we want to realize, actualize and individuate more of our truer, realer and higher self potential, we need to seek out the falsity in us and the world, and seek to remove it.

The truer self is referred to as the “True Self” for a reason. It is about being a higher self, “Self” with a capital ‘S’, in alignment with “Truth and Morality”, the higher principles and values in life to walk and live by. The “True Self” represents the “Higher Self of Truth and Morality” we are at the core of our “Being”, our “True Nature”, which would be the natural state of ourselves if falsity and false living were to be removed from our lives.

That is why standing for truth and morality is standing for ourselves.

The truer self potential we can become, the “true self” devoid of falsity, is the authentic self potential that underlies all our conditioning. It is being suppressed, constricted, and made unconscious by the various manifestations and expressions of the fear and falsity acting upon us to keep us down and keep us from seeking and knowing truth and morality.

Care for truth and morality acts as an expansive blossoming “Force of ‘Love'” so to speak. We expand conscious awareness of reality and how to live on the path and way, driven by our “love” or care for truth and morality.

Care for truth and morality is what has us evolve consciousness and develop our truer, realer, higher potential versions of ourselves, by successive alignment of our percetions with reality as it ‘is’, and the embodiment of moral attributes and values.

This is being more of our “true self”, not the falser self we are conditioned into adopting into our identity constructs. “True self”, being a truer self, is obviously based on truth and morality, not on falsity and immorality. The latter are corruptions to our core being that we are imposed upon us through the programmable aspect of our consciousness-self-psyche.

We are shape-shifters, chameleons and cop-cats with the ability to copy from our environment and learn from whatever is there, including other people. We are influenced by other people’s behavior and the overall environmental conditions we live in. They become impositions on our ego-personality-identity construct that was essentially a blank slate upon birth.

The social normalization programming conditions us, where we all influence each other and reinforce or diminish certain developments in our behavior to have us conform to an image, shape or form that society is trying to re-present as “authentic” and “legitimate”, while in truth, it is only a false proxy substitute.

We become conditioned with many different characteristics, properties, attributes and qualities that make up our particular ego-personality-identity construct. Many of them are barriers of falsity that prevent us from using real eyes to realize the real lies, and restricts our potential for self-realization and self-actualization.

We can make things better in any aspect of our lives. First we admit wrong, then we can imagine better.

Should You Purchase Instagram Followers? Pros, Cons, and Expert Advice

In the fast-paced world of social media, having a strong Instagram presence is essential for individuals and businesses alike. With millions of users competing for attention, many turn to strategies that promise quick growth. One of the most debated methods is whether to purchase instagram followers. Some see it as a shortcut to credibility, while others warn against potential risks. This article explores the advantages, disadvantages, and expert advice on making the best decision for your Instagram growth strategy.

What Are the Benefits of Buying Instagram Followers?

For many users, the biggest challenge on Instagram is gaining visibility. Purchasing followers can offer several advantages, especially for new accounts looking to establish credibility.

Instant Social Proof: A higher follower count can make your profile appear more popular and trustworthy, encouraging organic users to follow you.

Boosted Engagement Potential: While followers alone don’t guarantee interaction, an increased audience can improve your chances of receiving likes, comments, and shares.

Faster Growth for Businesses: Brands often struggle to gain traction in the early stages. A quick boost in followers can make their accounts look more appealing to potential customers.

Stronger Brand Image: People are more likely to trust and engage with a brand that appears well-established.

Using an smm instagram panel can simplify the process, allowing you to efficiently manage your account’s growth while ensuring the followers you gain are high-quality and active.

What Are the Risks of Buying Followers?

While purchasing Instagram followers offers advantages, there are also potential downsides to consider. Understanding these risks can help you make an informed decision.

Low Engagement Rates: If the followers you acquire are inactive or bots, they won’t contribute to likes, comments, or interactions, which can make your engagement rate look weak.

Possible Account Restrictions: Instagram continuously updates its algorithm to detect inauthentic activity. If your account receives a sudden, unnatural spike in followers, it could be flagged.

Reputation Concerns: Some brands and influencers prefer to build their audience organically. If your followers appear fake, it might raise questions about your authenticity.

Short-Term Gains vs. Long-Term Success: While buying followers can help with initial growth, a successful Instagram strategy should focus on creating high-quality content and genuine engagement.

To minimize these risks, it’s essential to work with a trusted provider that delivers real, active followers rather than bots. Reliable services that increase Instagram followers often offer targeted options, ensuring your audience aligns with your niche.

How Can You Maximize the Value of Purchased Followers?

If you decide to purchase Instagram followers, it’s important to complement this strategy with other growth techniques. Simply increasing your follower count won’t be enough—you need to engage and retain your audience.

Post High-Quality Content Regularly: Keep your feed fresh and engaging with visually appealing posts, stories, and reels.

Engage with Your Audience: Respond to comments, like other users’ posts, and participate in conversations to create a more interactive community.

Leverage Hashtags and SEO Strategies: Optimize your posts with relevant hashtags to attract organic users who are genuinely interested in your content.

Use an SMM Instagram Panel for Additional Services: Many platforms offer features like automated engagement, targeted follower growth, and post-scheduling to support your Instagram strategy.

By combining organic efforts with high-quality follower services, you can build an authentic and influential presence on Instagram.

Should You Invest in Instagram Followers?

The decision to purchase Instagram followers depends on your goals. If you’re a business or influencer looking to gain credibility quickly, it can be a useful strategy when done correctly. However, relying solely on bought followers without an engagement plan can limit your long-term success.

To make the most of your investment, choose a reputable service that provides active followers and combines it with organic growth tactics. Whether you use an SMM Instagram panel or other promotional tools, the key is to maintain authenticity while expanding your reach.

By taking a balanced approach, you can effectively increase instagram followers and create a thriving Instagram presence that supports your personal brand or business.

Citations: Can Anthropic’s New Feature Solve AI’s Trust Problem?

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/citations-can-anthropics-new-feature-solve-ais-trust-problem/

Citations: Can Anthropic’s New Feature Solve AI’s Trust Problem?

AI verification has been a serious issue for a while now. While large language models (LLMs) have advanced at an incredible pace, the challenge of proving their accuracy has remained unsolved.

Anthropic is trying to solve this problem, and out of all of the big AI companies, I think they have the best shot.

The company has released Citations, a new API feature for its Claude models that changes how the AI systems verify their responses. This tech automatically breaks down source documents into digestible chunks and links every AI-generated statement back to its original source – similar to how academic papers cite their references.

Citations is attempting to solve one of AI’s most persistent challenges: proving that generated content is accurate and trustworthy. Rather than requiring complex prompt engineering or manual verification, the system automatically processes documents and provides sentence-level source verification for every claim it makes.

The data shows promising results: a 15% improvement in citation accuracy compared to traditional methods.

Why This Matters Right Now

AI trust has become the critical barrier to enterprise adoption (as well as individual adoption). As organizations move beyond experimental AI use into core operations, the inability to verify AI outputs efficiently has created a significant bottleneck.

The current verification systems reveal a clear problem: organizations are forced to choose between speed and accuracy. Manual verification processes do not scale, while unverified AI outputs carry too much risk. This challenge is particularly acute in regulated industries where accuracy is not just preferred – it is required.

The timing of Citations arrives at a crucial moment in AI development. As language models become more sophisticated, the need for built-in verification has grown proportionally. We need to build systems that can be deployed confidently in professional environments where accuracy is non-negotiable.

Breaking Down the Technical Architecture

The magic of Citations lies in its document processing approach. Citations is not like other traditional AI systems. These often treat documents as simple text blocks. With Citations, the tool breaks down source materials into what Anthropic calls “chunks.” These can be individual sentences or user-defined sections, which created a granular foundation for verification.

Here is the technical breakdown:

Document Processing & Handling

Citations processes documents differently based on their format. For text files, there is essentially no limit beyond the standard 200,000 token cap for total requests. This includes your context, prompts, and the documents themselves.

PDF handling is more complex. The system processes PDFs visually, not just as text, leading to some key constraints:

32MB file size limit

Maximum 100 pages per document

Each page consumes 1,500-3,000 tokens

Token Management

Now turning to the practical side of these limits. When you are working with Citations, you need to consider your token budget carefully. Here is how it breaks down:

For standard text:

Full request limit: 200,000 tokens

Includes: Context + prompts + documents

No separate charge for citation outputs

For PDFs:

Higher token consumption per page

Visual processing overhead

More complex token calculation needed

Citations vs RAG: Key Differences

Citations is not a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) system – and this distinction matters. While RAG systems focus on finding relevant information from a knowledge base, Citations works on information you have already selected.

Think of it this way: RAG decides what information to use, while Citations ensures that information is used accurately. This means:

RAG: Handles information retrieval

Citations: Manages information verification

Combined potential: Both systems can work together

This architecture choice means Citations excels at accuracy within provided contexts, while leaving retrieval strategies to complementary systems.

Integration Pathways & Performance

The setup is straightforward: Citations runs through Anthropic’s standard API, which means if you are already using Claude, you are halfway there. The system integrates directly with the Messages API, eliminating the need for separate file storage or complex infrastructure changes.

The pricing structure follows Anthropic’s token-based model with a key advantage: while you pay for input tokens from source documents, there is no extra charge for the citation outputs themselves. This creates a predictable cost structure that scales with usage.

Performance metrics tell a compelling story:

15% improvement in overall citation accuracy

Complete elimination of source hallucinations (from 10% occurrence to zero)

Sentence-level verification for every claim

Organizations (and individuals) using unverified AI systems are finding themselves at a disadvantage, especially in regulated industries or high-stakes environments where accuracy is crucial.

Looking ahead, we are likely to see:

Integration of Citations-like features becoming standard

Evolution of verification systems beyond text to other media

Development of industry-specific verification standards

The entire industry really needs to rethink AI trustworthiness and verification. Users need to get to a point where they can verify every claim with ease.

Portable PA Systems vs. Installed Systems: Benefits and Drawbacks

The choice of the right PA system is usually settled between two categories: portable and installed systems. They each have their own strength and weakness, and choosing one over the other can really affect both your audio and ease of use in your facility. Whether you're a musician, event organizer, or a business looking to make your presentations heard, understanding the differences between these two types of systems is crucial. Let’s dive into the benefits and drawbacks of portable and installed PA systems, so you can make an informed decision based on your specific needs.

Portable PA Systems: Flexibility and Convenience

Benefits:

Easy to Carry and Set Up: The primary advantage of a portable PA system is its ease of use. As the name itself suggests, these systems are designed to be transported from one location to another very easily. From performing in the park to addressing a conference to hosting a small event, it allows you to quickly transport the system and get it set up wherever you might need it. This makes them ideal for mobility events or limited space venues.

Space-Saving Design:  As compared to bigger permanent installations, the portable system is smaller in size and can easily be accommodated into a narrower space. These are ideal for small venue events or for cases where there is little storage space available. Furthermore, as they are self-contained systems, they don't require more cables and peripheral equipment, and the installation is relatively easier.

Versatility: Most portable PA systems come with inbuilt features such as Bluetooth connectivity, microphones, and mixers. They are very versatile because they can be used for a wide range of activities, whether it is hosting a public event or broadcasting a live stream.

Cost-Effective:  If you have a budget constraint, portable systems are usually less expensive than installed systems. Quality systems are available at a wide range of price points, so this is a great option for an individual or a small business looking for something that is affordable yet effective.

Drawbacks:

Low Sound Power:  Portable systems are designed to be mobile, but they may not provide the same level of sound power or coverage as a larger installed system. If you are hosting a large event, or if you need to fill a venue with hundreds of people, a portable PA system might not meet those demands.

Less Customization: Portable systems are generally less customizable in terms of audio performance. The components are built into one compact unit, meaning you have fewer options for fine-tuning the sound or adding extra features. This can be a limitation for those who are particular about sound quality or require more advanced setup options.

Battery Life Issues: Even though most portable PA systems include built-in rechargeable batteries, long performances or outdoor locations can quickly deplete a battery. If the need arises to pause during a performance or presentation to charge the system, it will definitely be disrupting. Therefore, consider battery life when purchasing a PA system..

Installed PA Systems: Power and Professionalism

Benefits:

Superior Quality in Sound : Possibly the major perk of installing PA is high quality sound to fill in areas. Subwoofers and amplifiers ensure that there would be full capacity speaker systems with substantial power; those are appropriate when you plan using it in any large-scale program, concerts or permanent use cases like theater arenas. Using installed ones yields a lot richer, clearer, and therefore more uniform and consistent quality than portable options can.

Customization Options: Installed systems offer a higher degree of customization when it comes to tuning your audio. Audio engineers can adjust individual components—such as microphones, mixers, and equalizers—to suit the specific acoustics of the venue. This flexibility ensures optimal sound quality and can help to accommodate various performance types, from spoken word to live music.

Professional Aesthetic and Durability: Because installed systems are so designed to be long-term, they are generally better quality, professionally made, and will stand up to the rigors of continuous use. They are ideal for venues holding daily or weekly events because they can withstand the day-to-day wear and tear that repeated use would bring on. Installed systems also fade into the design of the venue to create a clean, professional appearance.

Higher Power Output and Coverage: Unlike portable systems, installed PA systems can be designed to cover large areas. Whether it’s a concert hall, sports arena, or large conference space, installed systems are engineered to meet the unique demands of large-scale venues, ensuring that every corner of the room hears the sound clearly.

Drawbacks:

Cost: The biggest drawback of an installed PA system is the initial cost. The equipment itself is usually more expensive, and the installation process often requires professional services, which can add to the cost. For smaller venues or individual users, the price tag might be out of reach.

No Portability:The name says it all-installed systems. After putting one in place, its relocation to a different site is impossible unless you install it again at the new site, thus costly. This makes it inappropriate for those who need flexibility and mobility of their PA system.

Complex Setup and Maintenance: There is a multi-component installation that must be custom-wired or otherwise sound-designed with each installation requiring maintenance to remain operational. Even for those that know their equipment, it becomes essential to contract professional help for the handling of the PA system.

Time-Consuming Installation: Very Time Consuming Installation: Installation of a PA system in a very large venue can take some considerable amount of time. The process may require contractors, sound engineers, and multiple site visits to ensure everything is set up perfectly. Quick, short-term events might find the installation process a major drawback.

Which System Is Right for You?

This depends on the nature of your needs with the portable or installed PA system. Portable systems are ideal for small events, casual gigs, or venues that need flexibility. It is highly affordable, and easy to move, and simple to set up. Installed PA systems, on the other hand, are more appropriate for large venues where sound quality, power, and customization are essential. Although more costly and permanent, they deliver superior sound performance that can cover expansive spaces with ease.

Before making your choice, consider how often you will have to move the system, the size of your venue, and the type of events you will be hosting. You should also consult professionals or reputable audio shops to ensure that you are investing in the right equipment for your needs.

Both systems have their pros and cons, so it basically becomes about finding the best fit for your unique situation. From hosting a small concert in a local venue to managing a massive sports event, learning the difference between portable and installed systems will help you choose one that best fits your needs.

The Hidden Advantage of Market Profile and Current Account Balance in Forex Trading Imagine walking into a store with a treasure map in hand, but instead of leading you to buried gold, it guides you to profitable trading opportunities in Forex. That’s the power of understanding Market Profile and Current Account Balance. Let’s dive into the secret corridors of the Forex world, revealing advanced techniques and actionable insights that most traders overlook. Market Profile: The Treasure Map You Didn’t Know You Needed Market Profile is like the GPS of trading. Instead of wandering aimlessly, you get to see where the market has been, where it’s likely to go, and what areas to avoid—like dodging a pothole on a rainy day. What is Market Profile? Market Profile is a charting tool that organizes price and time data to reveal key levels of market activity. Think of it as a heatmap for trading activity. It answers the critical questions: “Where are traders buying and selling?” and “Where is the market balanced or unbalanced?” Why Most Traders Miss the Mark Many traders rely solely on candlestick patterns or RSI indicators, which is like using a flip phone in the age of smartphones. Market Profile takes things up a notch by: - Highlighting Point of Control (POC): The price level with the highest trading volume. - Identifying Value Areas: Zones where 70% of trading occurred—a.k.a. prime real estate for price action. - Detecting Market Imbalances: Areas where prices are likely to revisit, like a predictable plot twist in a thriller movie. How to Use Market Profile in Forex Here’s the playbook: - Spot High-Volume Nodes (HVNs): These act as magnets for price. Enter trades near these levels for higher success rates. - Watch for Low-Volume Nodes (LVNs): Price often accelerates through these areas, perfect for breakout trades. - Combine with Fundamentals: Use Market Profile to align with macroeconomic trends for a double-layered strategy. Pro Tip: Integrate tools like Sierra Chart or MarketDelta to master Market Profile visualization. Current Account Balance: The Silent Market Shaper Ever wonder why some currencies seem to defy logic? The answer often lies in the Current Account Balance (CAB). It’s like the backstage manager of a theater production—you don’t see it, but it controls the show. What is the Current Account Balance? The CAB measures a country’s net exports, net income, and direct cash transfers. A surplus indicates the country is exporting more than it imports, strengthening its currency. A deficit? The opposite. Why It’s a Game-Changer in Forex While other traders are glued to technical charts, savvy players use CAB data to: - Anticipate long-term currency trends based on trade flows. - Gauge economic stability (a country with a consistent surplus usually has a stronger currency). - Align trades with central bank policies influenced by CAB dynamics. How to Apply CAB Insights - Monitor Economic Calendars: Track releases from reliable sources like the IMF or World Bank. - Pair Strong vs. Weak Currencies: For example, match a surplus-heavy currency (e.g., JPY) against a deficit-laden one (e.g., USD) for strategic trades. - Stay Ahead of Policy Changes: Central banks often react to CAB trends with rate adjustments—stay tuned to their announcements. Real-World Example: When Japan’s current account showed a widening surplus in 2023, the JPY gained strength against major currencies like the EUR and USD. Traders who acted on this insight bagged significant gains. Combining Market Profile and Current Account Balance for Maximum Impact Here’s where things get spicy. Think of Market Profile and CAB as peanut butter and jelly—great individually, but unbeatable together. Step-by-Step Guide to Strategic Synergy: - Start with CAB Analysis: Identify currencies with strong or weak fundamentals based on current account data. - Overlay Market Profile: Use the profile to pinpoint ideal entry and exit levels for the selected currency pairs. - Execute with Precision: Combine the macro view (CAB) with the micro-level insights (Market Profile) to time your trades perfectly. Case Study: In 2024, when Germany’s CAB surplus indicated strong fundamentals for the EUR, and Market Profile showed HVNs around 1.10 against USD, traders who combined these insights saw consistent profits. Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them Even seasoned traders make rookie mistakes. Let’s break down the most common ones and how to sidestep them: - Overloading Indicators: Combining too many tools can cloud judgment. Stick to Market Profile and CAB for a clean, effective strategy. - Ignoring News Events: Major geopolitical or economic shifts can nullify technical analysis. Stay informed with real-time updates from StarseedFX Forex News. - Underestimating Risk: Even with perfect analysis, no trade is guaranteed. Use tools like the Smart Trading Tool to manage lot sizes and risk. Wrap-Up: Transform Insights into Action Trading success is no longer about guessing; it’s about combining intelligence and strategy. Market Profile gives you the micro-level precision, while Current Account Balance provides the macroeconomic context to guide your decisions. Together, they’re an unstoppable duo for elevating your Forex game. Ready to unlock more elite tactics?

Montessori vs. Traditional Education: Which Is Right for Your Child?

As parents, one of the most important decisions we face is selecting the right educational path for our children. With numerous options available, Montessori and traditional education systems often stand out as two prominent choices. Each approach has its unique philosophy, methodology, and benefits. Understanding their differences can help you make an informed decision tailored to your child's needs and personality.

What Is Montessori Education?

Montessori education is a child-centered approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 20th century. This method emphasizes independence, hands-on learning, and fostering a natural love for discovery. Key features include:

Self-Paced Learning: Children choose activities based on their interests and work at their own pace.

Prepared Environment: Classrooms are designed to encourage exploration, with materials organized to promote independence.

Mixed-Age Groups: Students of different ages learn together, fostering peer learning and collaboration.

Guidance Over Instruction: Teachers act as guides, observing and supporting rather than directing.

What Is Traditional Education?

Traditional education follows a structured, teachv er-led approach commonly seen in public and private schools. It prioritizes standardized learning outcomes and curriculum. Key features include:

Teacher-Centered Instruction: The teacher directs activities and lessons, ensuring all students learn the same material at the same time.

Standardized Curriculum: A uniform set of subjects and benchmarks are followed.

Age-Based Grouping: Students are grouped by age, progressing through grades together.

Assessments and Grades: Learning is measured through tests, quizzes, and grading systems.

Benefits of Montessori Education

Encourages Independence: Children learn to manage their time and make decisions, building confidence.

Tailored Learning: Activities align with individual interests and developmental stages.

Promotes Critical Thinking: Hands-on materials and open-ended tasks nurture problem-solving skills.

Holistic Development: Focus on emotional, social, and physical growth alongside academics.

Benefits of Traditional Education

Structured Framework: Provides a clear roadmap of academic milestones.

Consistency: Standardized curriculum ensures coverage of essential subjects.

Extracurricular Activities: Often includes sports, arts, and clubs for varied experiences.

Preparation for Standardized Tests: Familiarizes students with testing formats often used in higher education.

Choosing the Right Fit for Your Child

To determine which system aligns best with your child's needs, consider the following:

Learning Style: Is your child self-motivated and curious? Montessori might be a good fit. If they thrive in structured environments, traditional education may work better.

Social Needs: Does your child enjoy collaborative learning with peers of different ages or prefer the company of same-age classmates?

Long-Term Goals: Think about how each system aligns with your child’s future educational and career aspirations.

Personality and Temperament: Montessori can nurture creativity and independence, while traditional schools may suit children who prefer predictability and clear guidelines.

Final Thoughts

Both Montessori and traditional education have their merits, and the "right" choice depends on your child’s unique traits and your family’s values. Visiting schools, observing classrooms, and talking to educators can provide valuable insights. Remember, the ultimate goal is to foster a love for learning and equip your child with the tools they need to succeed in life.
