Listen to this episode from Cendrine's Podcast on Spotify. Today, I am sharing part 2 of psychic enhancements from the Sirians! Before tuning into this transmission, please listen to part 1 first which is episode 78. I share foundational codes and practices that are needed before you can integrate the teachings that I share here in part 2! Tune in here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0K3etSTSCI2H2XDSA9SFT2?si=b6677907e0d04056 In this fascinating transmission, I share the quantum architecture of the 3D & 5D matrices. Learn about the ‘motherboard’ or a thick layer of fog that is surrounding the earth that is full of low-frequency information and density from all of the things that have happened in humanity’s history. I share why each and every one of us (even the most enlightened beings) on earth tap into this layer of fog.  I will also share how we can pierce through this density with our column of ascension in order to access the realm of the 5D crystalline matrix above it. It is super important to be fully anchored in your column of ascension and your soul blueprint in physicality in order to be able to access the 5D bandwidth.  This is why I have shared the tools for psychic enhancement in part 1 (linked above) AND also my Soul Blueprint Embodiment meditation which you can download for FREE here: https://cendrines.kartra.com/page/freesoulblueprintmeditation I absolutely love to hear from you so please let me know in the comments if this content resonates with you and any lightbulb moments you have had! This transmission covers:  The energetics of the lion's gate portal Perceiving the difference between low & high-frequency information Understanding the evolution of consciousness Meditation to find soul alignments Our column of ascension & the ‘motherboard’ layer of the earth Piercing our column of ascension through the dense ‘fog’ & connecting higher to the 5D crystalline matrix  The challenges we face to stay connected to 5D frequency The call for humanity to receive access to higher-frequency information as we enter the new golden age How to connect your pillar of light to the bandwidth of 5D frequency  During my 2-part live event for the Lion’s Gate Portal, as mentioned during the transmission, we will be diving even deeper (8 hours of transmission in total!!) into these potent codes of the Evolution of Sovereign Consciousness with the Sirians.  Both events will give you the entire codex for this year's Lions Gate Portal! The first part is happening on the 31st of July & the second part is on the 7th of August. If you are watching this after the event has passed, you will be able to purchase the replay!

August is a wonderful time to be in Kyoto, despite being one of the hottest months and the occasional rain shower. Kyoto celebrates summer with events such as Gozan no Okuribi and other fun activities scattered throughout the city. So whether you’re looking for that perfect way to cool down, a bit of cultural fun, or a great way to spend your time, you’ll find it this month in Japan’s former capital. Here’s a brief glimpse of what you can look forward to doing in August 2024 if you are visiting Kyoto. Ukai Ukai, or cormorant fishing, is a traditional fishing activity carried out in Kyoto and other parts of Japan, for over 1000 years. In this unique fishing technique, expert fishermen use trained special aquatic birds to catch river fish at night, with the only source of light being the flames of burning torches. In principle, every fisherman takes out a group of cormorants on a leash, as the boat travels out into the river the birds swim alongside the boat and catch the fish underwater with their mouths. A special pouch on the throats of the birds prevents the fish from being swallowed, which are later collected. Although this practice was quite common many centuries ago, today it is practiced only in a few places, and mainly as a way to highlight this traditional method of fishing. August is a good time to experience it first-hand on the Uji River in Kyoto prefecture, as visitors can join special boat tours that can take them deep into the river to view this spectacle up close. Dates: Throughout August Location:  Near the Kisen Bridge, Nakanoshima Island, Uji (in Uji City, around 20 minutes by train from Kyoto Station) Website: https://www.kyoto-uji-kankou.or.jp/ukai-en.html For more details, please check the website Kyo no Tanabata The popular Tanabata Matsuri, which celebrates the love between two star-crossed lovers, is generally celebrated on July 7th, across Japan. During this festival, people write their wishes on strips of paper and hang them on bamboo branches praying for them to come true. However, in Kyoto, the Tanabata celebrations take place in August, as well as July. Visitors can enjoy the Tanabata Star Festival illuminations at various locations across the Kamogawa and Horikawa rivers in Kyoto. It’s also a great time to rent a yukata, a casual, summer-version of the kimono, and visit some of the shrines in Kyoto. One particular spot to visit is the Kifune Shrine, which is beautifully lit up by sparkling lanterns, creating a magical ambiance that is sure to take your breath away. Dates: Generally, Tanabata-related events are held between August 1st to 7th Location:  Kifune Shrine and other locations across Kyoto Website: https://kyonotanabata.kyoto.travel/ Gozan no Okuribi (Mountain Bonfire) One of the most visually striking events in Kyoto, the Gozan no Okuribi is a traditional festival that celebrates the Obon season, a time when the spirits of the ancestors are believed to visit the living. The biggest highlight of this festival is five massive bonfires that are lit in the mountains surrounding Kyoto, which can be seen from various spots across the city. Each of the five fires has a specific shape and significance, as they are meant to guide the souls of the ancestors who are visiting the mortal world back to the spiritual realm. The fires are lit sequentially and the first fire is lit around 8.00 pm on Diamonji, the main mountain in the festival. The remaining four fires are set on each mountain in order every five minutes and last for about 40 minutes. The best time to view all fires at the same time is about 8.30 pm. Dates: 16th August Location:  Different mountains near Kyoto; For the best views to see the first fire lighting up, head to the banks of the Kamo River, near Kyoto Gyoen Website: https://ja.kyoto.travel/event/major/okuribi/ Toji Temple Flea Markets The Toji Temple is most famous for its five-story pagoda, which adorns the cover of almost every Kyoto-bound travel brochure. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-visit for first-time travelers to the region. In addition to being one of the most culturally important spots to visit in Kyoto, this temple is also famous for its two flea markets. The first market, the smaller of the two, happens on the first Sunday of each month. The bigger flea market, which has hundreds of vendors lined up outside the temple from early in the morning, takes place on the 21st of each month. If you are around Kyoto in August on these days, do try and plan a visit to these spectacular markets, for an awesome experience. You can find anything and everything, ranging from ceramic vases to seeds and even pre-owned clothing items, including inexpensive yukatas and kimonos. There is a pretty good chance that you will find some really good antiques here as well. And most importantly, there will be lots of food stalls to try some amazing and locally loved yatai! Dates: August 4th & August 21st Location:  Toji Temple, Kyoto City Website: https://toji.or.jp/en/index.html For more information, please check the website Kamishichiken Beer Garden Held at the Kamishichiken Kaburenjo, this beer festival is one of the best ways to enjoy a chilled beer and escape from the rush of the city. The Kamishichiken Theatre is converted into a beer garden for this festival, where traditional geisha and maiko wearing matching yukatas add to the charm. This is a must-visit event for beer enthusiasts Dates: August 4th; August 13th to 16th; August 25th Location: 〒602-8381 Kyoto, Kamigyo Ward, Shinseicho, 742 Website: https://maiko3.com/beer-garden/ For more information, please check the official website Nishiki Market Any trip to Kyoto is incomplete without a trip to the 400-year-old Nishiki Market. This gourmet wonderland is home to over a hundred shops and restaurants and takes its title of ‘Kyoto’s Kitchen’ very seriously. Spanning over five blocks, Nishiki offers a wide range of local foods, ranging from fresh seafood to seasonal produce like tofu skin (yuba) and pickled vegetables (tsukemono). In August, foodies can try one of Kyoto’s local specialties hamo (pike conger eel), or enjoy yudofu, a simple tofu preparation. If raw oysters are your thing, you can find them here at Nishiki Market. For something more conventional, try the matcha-flavored treats and maybe the sake ice cream. In addition to great food, Nishiki Market is a great spot to pick up some really cool chef’s knives as well. The market is open daily from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm, but the best time to visit is generally early in the morning for breakfast before the rush of customers. Dates: Open every day, but certain stores are closed on Wednesdays or Sundays. Location:  742, Imadegawa-Dori Shichihonmatsu Nishi-iru, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City 602-8381 Website: https://www.kyoto-nishiki.or.jp/en/ For more information, please check the official website Kyoto in August offers a vibrant array of activities, from the mesmerizing Mountain Bonfire to midnight fishing, and beer gardens to buzzing markets. Whether you are on the lookout for cultural activities, culinary delights, or traditional experiences, there's always something happening around Kyoto. When you’re visiting the former capital, remember to relax and soak up the lively atmosphere in Japan's cultural heart. And if you find yourself short of ideas on what to do, do check out our list of Kyoto activities and we will be happy to help you plan a perfect time in Kyoto. Arigato!

“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” — Henry Ford Happy Thursday! I hope this finds you well!  I can hardly believe it, but today marks my last post for this year’s Jessica Sporn Designs Creative Team. I made 15 videos over the course of the year, happily playing with Jessica’s beautiful collection of stencils from Stencil Girl and stamps from RubberMoon. Her work is unique, elegant, thought-provoking and above all else, filled with love. It was an honor to represent her and her products, this year and always. I also want to thank DecoArt Media for supplying us with gorgeous, color drenched supplies and beautiful grounds to work with. I’d been a fan before, but now, after using their buttery gesso and thick, rich ink sprays, I can easily say I’m a lifer. . . . Now, on to this week’s process video entitled, “Come to My Party.” I used the backing of a 9 x 12 pad of paper for this one, as well as a combination of stamping, stenciling, collaging, drawing and fingerprinting for a truly mixed media piece. I hope you have fun watching, and please do let me know if you try anything similar, I’d LOVE to see what you come up with.   If you’d like to keep up with my arty adventures, check out my personal YouTube channel over HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC10sBwGToZKc3nnfT69PzFg.

Al-Husseiniya Palace combines traditional Islamic architecture elements with a simple and elegant design, with multiple archways and traditional motifs etched into its walls and doors.  Built in 2006, Al-Husseiniya Palace, derives its name from adjacent King Hussein bin Talal Mosque.  Another view of the Prince and Princess of Wales as they arrived this evening.  And a video as they were in the receiving line.   Princess Kate made an absolutely stunning entrance at the royal wedding banquet of Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein and Rajwa Al Saif in a glittering pink sequin column gown by Jenny Packham paired with the Lover’s Knot Tiara 👑 💗 💗 💗 #KateMiddleton #RoyalWedding pic.twitter.com/LGorMOct5q — HELLO!

The green version of the gown was first worn at a reception during the 2019 Pakistan tour and repeated for the 2021 Royal Variety Performance.   The tailored design features sequin-covered fabric with a row of crystal embellishments accenting the waist and neckline. Featured in the A/W 2019 runway collection, the gown is 100% viscose and fully lined with a back zipper.  Here is a closer view and partial description as posted on Twitter by the brand.   The Georgia gown from the AW19 Collection features crystal floral embellishments and rose pink sequins handsewn on tulle. For further information on this style please contact [email protected] #jennypackham #AW19 pic.twitter.com/yRHGU1wY0A — Jenny Packham (@jennypackham) September 6, 2019 Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was pictured wearing the design in a February 2022 Financial Times profile.  The Princess carried her Prada logo box clutch. We saw the return of the Lover's Knot tiara, shown below when it was worn for the 2018 diplomatic reception. The tiara was commissioned by Queen Mary and made by Garrard; it is the tiara worn most frequently by the Princess. The Princess wore the Greville Chandelier Earrings for the first time. The Court Jeweller offers more in this piece about the earrings.  The diamond and platinum earrings were made by Cartier in London over a period of years, starting in 1918 and ending in 1929. Initially they were a simple pair of brilliant drop earrings. In 1922, they were lengthened using twelve additional diamonds. The earrings were completed in their present form in February 1929, when ten more diamonds were added. The Royal Collection notes that each earring features “a lexicon of modern diamond cuts.” These include a trio of pair-shaped diamond pendants, plus diamonds in baguette, baton, emerald, half-moon, trapeze, and square cuts. The ultimate effect is that of a modern girandole or chandelier earring, a technical and unique take on an earring shape that has been popular for centuries. They were a favorite of the Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Below, the Queen wearing the earrings during a July 2010 visit to Canada. The Princess also wore her Royal Family Order (on the yellow ribbon) and Royal Victorian Order (below center and right), all seen when worn to the November 2022 Africa State Dinner. The Princess used her Bentley & Skinner brooch to hold the sash securely.  Because photos have been coming in so slowly, I will do a separate post early next week looking at styles worn by the bride and other royals.

The Princess of Wales returned to public life today as she attended Trooping the Colour. This was her first engagement in six months. It follows her public statement in March explaining her cancer diagnosis and preventative chemotherapy treatment. Today's appearance was not a surprise, as the Princess updated her health condition and plans for the next several months in a social media post yesterday. Her schedule is going to remain very limited but she hopes to undertake a few engagements in the next several months, depending upon how she is feeling. Here you see the King and Queen in the Scottish State Coach on their way to Horse Guards Parade. Trooping the Colour is also known as the King's Birthday Parade. Members of the Wales family rode in the Glass State Coach. In this video from Kensington Palace, you can see the family at Buckingham Palace waiting for the carriage.  All set for The King's Birthday Parade! pic.twitter.com/jbangtZvA3 — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) June 15, 2024 You can see the Princess, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte in this image, but Prince George is not visible. A smile from Prince George. And a wave from Princess Charlotte. Prince Louis having a giggle.  In this quick video, you see other members of the Royal Family getting into their carriages.  Members of the Royal Family leaving Buckingham Palace earlier today to travel to Horse Guards Parade for #TroopingtheColour. pic.twitter.com/wqnI8OzsRI — The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) June 15, 2024 The Duchess of Edinburgh in the No.1 Barouche, where she was joined by her daughter, Lady Louise, and the Duke of Kent.

At times during the event, it was cold, wet, and windy. Unfortunately, the heavens opened during the trip to Horse Guards Parade. The No.1 Barouche is not fully enclosed.  Embed from Getty Imageswindow.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'wgqG8gA2SvxWBoXSQsY0kQ',sig:'-euVyG77E_n2U0ZQbyBMJz3RUQkj87sgrTvuaICnDO0=',w:'594px',h:'406px',items:'2157684028',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })}); Nor is the No. 2 Barouche, with Sir Tim Laurence in the uncovered portion of the carriage. Also traveling in this carriage were the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Another view of the King in the Scottish State Coach with the Queen. The Princess waved to the crowds.  Another image of Princess Charlotte.  One more photo of the King. Last year, the King attended the event on horseback, but using a vehicle made more sense given his cancer treatment and recovery. More about today's ceremony via The Telegraph's coverage.  Not to be confused with the King’s natural birthday in November, when he will turn 76, the ceremony is an annual tradition dating back to 1760 and the reign of George III, who was born in June. It will be His Majesty’s duty to take the salute as over a thousand soldiers and hundreds of horses and musicians march in what is easily the most colourful and impressive of all Royal events – save the Coronation itself. This year, the Irish Guards will “troop” or display their uniform and insignia colours for the King, who is Colonel in Chief of the seven Guards regiments of the Household Division. Here is a video of the Wales family arriving at Horse Guards Parade.  Prince Louis, Prince George, Princess Charlotte.. and the Princess of Wales arriving at Horse Guards pic.twitter.com/E0poS88Tck — Matt Wilkinson (@MattSunRoyal) June 15, 2024 This year the King inspected his troops from the carriage before heading to the viewing stand. The King and Queen then walked to the reviewing stand, while the Princess and children headed inside to the Major General's office to watch the event with other family members.  And then it was time for the parade.  The Royal Family website explains that As is tradition, The King wore the tunic of the Guard of Honour Order, the Irish Guards. The Sovereign always wears the uniform of whichever Regiment’s Colour is being trooped. During the parade, the King’s Colour, or Regimental flag, is “Trooped” (carried aloft by one of the Regiment’s most junior Officers through the ranks of soldiers). More from the Associated Press. Five regiments take it in turns to parade their color, and this year it was the turn of a company of the Irish Guards, which has Kate as its honorary colonel. The troops in scarlet tunics and bearskin hats were led onto the parade ground by their mascot, an Irish wolfhound named Seamus. In this photo, you can see the Wales family watching all of the action. Another view.  Prince Louis did a little dance when listening to the music.  👑 Prince Louis dancing on balcony The prince seems to keeping himself well entertained by his surroundings as he waits with the Princess of Wales for the Red Arrows flypast Follow the latest from #TroopingtheColour👇https://t.co/OPSgLeLNF4 pic.twitter.com/ohuBqoizdM — The Telegraph (@Telegraph) June 15, 2024 The King's son, brother, and sister taking part in today's parade. The Princess Royal was on Darby, the Duke of Edinburgh rode Noble, and Prince William rode Sir John. UPDATE JUNE 16: This information came from the Palace, but as Anna pointed out in a comment, it looked like the Princess Royal was on Noble, not Prince Edward. All three wore uniforms of the regiments of which they are Royal Colonels. Princess Anne was in the Blues and Royals uniform, while Prince William wore his Welsh Guards uniform, and Prince Edward was in the Scots Guards uniform. More than one thousand military personnel from the British Army’s Household Division took part in today's parade.  Another view of the military display. In this photo, the Duchess of Edinburgh is alongside some of the Wales children, and to the right, the Gloucesters are visible. There were also 242 military working horses, 250 military musicians, 40 pipers, and drummers participating today. Today's event marked the first time in more than 100 years that soldiers on parade were allowed to have beards. After the parade, it was time for the fly-past at Buckingham Palace. Despite the weather, crowds surged toward Buckingham Palace, as shown in this video posted by Royal Central. The Mall is swarmed with people who are hoping to get a glimpse of The King and The Royal Family!#TroopingTheColour pic.twitter.com/r3CYwj8EwC — Royal Central (@RoyalCentral) June 15, 2024 Family members on the balcony. Fortunately, the sun came out just as that element of the ceremony was getting underway.   Once the family was on the balcony, we saw Princess Charlotte giving her younger brother a little nudge during the national anthem.              View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Max Foster (@maxfostercnn) The Queen and Duchess of Edinburgh enjoying a little chat.

The Prince of Wales with Princes George and Louis.  And the King with the Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte.  The big finale is the Red Arrows flypast. It is always spectacular.  After the flypast, a wave goodbye.  Now for a quick look at what some of the other Royal Family members were wearing. We begin with the Queen, who was in a pale green silk crepe dress and coat from Anna Valentine and a chapeau by Philip Treacy. Jewelry details come via The Court Jeweller: ...a pair of diamond floral clips with pearl drops, with a favorite pearl and diamond necklace and the Grenadier Guards Badge that belonged to her late mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II. And now the Duchess of Edinburgh, wearing the Yahvi dress (£625, about $790 at today's exchange rates) by Beulah London. (The Princess of Wales wore this design in dark green in 2019.) The Duchess accessorized with Jane Taylor's Persephone hat, a tear-shaped cocktail style in double crepe with a birdcage veil and bow. Her earrings are by Giulia Barela. Thanks to Royal Fashion Police for some ID assistance.  Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor in a dress by Suzannah and a Jane Taylor hat previously worn by her mother. It is the dress she wore to the Coronation last year. And now for our look at the Princess of Wales.  She brought back a Jenny Packham design that was initially worn for the pre-coronation luncheon and walkabout last May.  The style is similar to two other Jenny Packham designs worn by the Princess, a blue sheath worn in Northern Ireland in October 2022, and the black dress worn to view floral tributes in mid-September at Windsor following the Queen’s death. All three resemble the Thetis Dress ($2900) as offered at BergdorfGoodman, from the spring/summer '24 resort collection. The design is a classic sheath with a round neckline, long sleeves that zip at the cuff, and a concealed back zipper. Obviously, the Princess updated her dress with the bow at the neck/shoulde, and a change made at the waist. Thoughts on the dress choice via Tamara Abraham, The Telegraph's Fashion Editor.  By choosing a dress that was last worn for such an important moment for the King, it suggests a nod of support and honour for the monarch on his official birthday. And from this piece by the New York Times's Fashion Director, Vanessa Friedman.  She wore a white knee-length Jenny Packham dress with a black-and-white striped belt and a jaunty bow at the neck, topped off with a Phillip Treacy hat, angled just so. The nautical theme was reflected in the navy dress with a sailor collar and white trim worn by Princess Charlotte (who also wore white shoes to go with her mother), along with the matching double-breasted navy suits with their gold buttons, white shirts and bright blue ties of Princes George and Louis, all of which made a neat Union Jack trio with William’s bright red military uniform — which in turn matched that of Charles and Prince Edward. If you would like to read Vanessa Friedman's entire piece, this link allows you to see the article without worrying about the paywall.  For some, the bow at the neck brought back Audrey Hepburn's ensemble in My Fair Lady.  The Sunday Times headline writers referenced the film on the paper's front page.  The Princess accessorized with a new Philip Treacy hat. Thank you to Innominate and to Gabi for the ID.  This photo offers a good view of the Princess's updo. Additional accessories included the Princess's Jimmy Choo Romy 85 pumps in white leather and the Mulberry Bayswater clutch. The Princess wore her Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Pearl Diamond Earrings ($6061). The earrings are made of 18K yellow gold with pearls and diamonds. They are described as being inspired by the Sicilian markets, which are full of the most beautifully ripe fruit and vegetables that overflow copiously from their baskets. The Princess is wearing a Regimental Irish Guards brooch in her role as Colonel of the Regiment of the Irish Guards.  Here is a 'thank you' video from Kensington Palace  Thank you to everyone involved in Trooping the Colour. Always in awe of the work that goes into putting together such an incredible afternoon 🇬🇧💂@RoyalFamily pic.twitter.com/9UaYRXyi81 — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) June 15, 2024 And one final photo of the Princess of Wales.  For last week's retrospective piece covering all of the Princess's Trooping the Colour looks, click here.  One quick reminder about comments: comments regarding anyone's weight are not allowed per the comment policy here at WKW.  UPDATE SUNDAY JUNE 16: This morning, the Wales children made their first social media post today, wishing their father a Happy Father's Day. The Princess of Wales took the photo of the children with Prince William in Norfolk last month. Prince William shared this message on social media. Here is the Buckingham Palace social media post.  Wishing all Dads, and those who may be missing their parents today, a relaxing Father’s Day. 📽️ Footage sourced from BFI National Archive.#FathersDay pic.twitter.com/KNqFRjpmEl — The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) June 16, 2024  VIDEOS:  This video from the Royal Family Channel covers the balcony appearance.  The Royal Family Channel covers carriage rides and the parade in this 2-minute video.

The virtual machine you attach a network interface to and the virtual network you connect it to must exist in the same location, also referred to as a region. Note, Resource groups can span multiple Regions, but VNets only can hold resources (VMs, Network Adapters) that exists in the same region. So in this scenario, you need to create VNET1 in any RG and set location as East Asia. You have an Azure subscription that contains a storage account named account1. You plan to upload the disk files of a virtual machine to account1 from your on-premises network. The on-premises network uses a public IP address space of 131.107.1.0/24.

Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have an Azure subscription that contains the following resources: A virtual network that has a subnet named Subnet1 Two network security groups (NSGs) named NSG-VM1and NSG-Subnet1 A virtual machine named VM1 that has the required Windows Server configurations to allow Remote Desktop connections NSG-Subnet1 has the default inbound security rules only. NSG-VM1 has the default inbound security rules and the following custom inbound security rule: Priority: 100 Source: Any Source port range: * Destination: * Destination port range: 3389 Protocol: UDP Action: Allow VM1 connects to Subnet1. NSG1-VM1 is associated to the network interface of VM1. NSG-Subnet1 is associated to Subnet1. You need to be able to establish Remote Desktop connections from the internet to VM1. Solution: You add an inbound security rule to NSG-Subnet1 that allows connections from the Internet source to the VirtualNetwork destination for port range 3389 and uses the UDP protocol. Does this meet the goal? A. Yes B. No >>> Answer: B The default port for RDP is TCP port 3389 not UDP. NSGs deny all inbound traffic except from virtual network or load balancers. For inbound traffic, Azure processes the rules in a network security group associated to a subnet first, and then the rules in a network security group associated to the network interface. By default NSG rule to allow traffic through RDP port 3389 is not created automatically during the creation of VM , unless you change the setting during creation. Here in the solution UDP traffic is allowed at virtual network level which is not tcp/rdp protocol. So this will not work to achieve the goal.

What should you do first? A. From contoso.com, modify the Organization relationships settings. B. From contoso.com, create an OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint.C. Recreate AKS1. D. From AKS1, create a namespace. >>> Answer: B With Azure AD-integrated AKS clusters, you can grant users or groups access to Kubernetes resources within a namespace or across the cluster. To obtain a kubectl configuration context, a user can run the az aks get-credentials command. When a user then interacts with the AKS cluster with kubectl, they're prompted to sign in with their Azure AD credentials. This approach provides a single source for user account management and password credentials. The user can only access the resources as defined by the cluster administrator. Azure AD authentication is provided to AKS clusters with OpenID Connect. OpenID Connect is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. For more information on OpenID Connect, see the Open ID connect documentation. From inside of the Kubernetes cluster, Webhook Token Authentication is used to verify authentication tokens.

The Duchess of Cambridge mixed new and old designs for the Queen's Birthday Parade, also called Trooping the Colour.  Today's events launched the Platinum Jubilee weekend marking the Queen's 70-year reign. For the first time, the Cambridge children rode in a carriage. This year was also the first time the Queen appeared at Buckingham Palace to take the salute, instead of being at Horse Guards Parade.  Below, HM on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with her cousin, the Duke of Kent, Colonel of the Scots Guards. A look back to June 5, 1952, the Queen's first Trooping the Colour as Sovereign. It was a bright, sunlit day as troops headed to Horse Guards Parade.  And crowds were enormous.  A member of the Coldstream Guards holding souvenir programs. Things got underway with the procession of carriages to Horse Guards Parade. In the first carriage, the Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Cambridge, and the Cambridge children.

Charles wore his scarlet Colonel of the Welsh Guards uniform and green thistle sash riding a horse named George.  William rode on Derby in his Irish Guards uniform and Anne on a horse named Sir John in her Colonel of the Blues and Royals uniform as part of the colourful parade. After arriving at Horse Guards Parade, those watching the spectacular ceremony headed inside. Below you see the Cambridge children, the Duchess, and Savannah and Isla Phillips on the far right. Some background on the event via the Household Division.   The ceremony of Trooping the Colour is believed to have been performed first during the reign of King Charles II (1660 – 1685). In 1748, it was decided that this parade would be used to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign and it became an annual event after George III became King in 1760.

The name ‘Colour’ continues to be used to this day. The principal role of a regiment’s Colours was to provide a rallying point on the battlefield. This was important because, without modern communications, it was all too easy for troops to become disoriented and separated from their unit during conflict. The Cambridge children seemed to enjoy watching the action.  Prince Louis taking it all in. Some will recognize the four-legged member of the Irish Guards.  That is the Regiment's mascot, Turlough Mór, also known as Séamus. He was part of this year's shamrock ceremony.  More from The Evening Standard. Speaking to Sky News accompanied by Seamus, Drummer Adam Walsh said: “It’s quite loud in front of the band, and with his hearing, it’s very amplified. “For him to stay cool, calm, and collected, it takes a lot of training and a lot of prep.” Seamus has his own room with the Irish Guards, and is a “pampered pooch”, Drummer Walsh added. “He’s treated as one of the lads.” The Telegraph notes In 1961 the Irish Wolfhound was admitted to the select club of official army mascots entitling him to the services of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, as well as quartering and food at public expense.  Princess Charlotte pointing something out to her brothers and Mia Tindall. Another view of Princess Anne.  This year it was the Irish Guards trooping their colors. More than 1500 soldiers and officers with 400 musicians and 250 horses took part in the ceremony.  After the Colours are trooped everyone returned to Buckingham Palace. Chris Ship of ITV shared a video of the Duchesses and children.    VIDEO: Camilla, Kate and the three children George, Charlotte, Louis returning to Buckingham Palace. The Queen will make the first of her two balcony appearances shortly. #TroopingTheColour #PlatinumJubilee #hm70 pic.twitter.com/U1oo4rWMW5 — Chris Ship (@chrisshipitv) June 2, 2022 A look at the crowds along the mall.  After the troops saluted HM, she took a break before returning to the balcony with the Duke of Kent. Where she was joined by royal family members.  Here is a wide shot of the group on the balcony. You see (from L to R): the Gloucesters, Princess Alexandra (the Queen's cousin), the Duke of Kent, Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Laurence and Princess Anne, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Charles, HMTQ, the Cambridge family, the Wessex family.     Then it was time for the much-anticipated flypast.  More from People's story.  Prince George and Princess Charlotte are now Buckingham Palace balcony veterans. George made his Trooping the Colour debut in 2015 in the arms of his father, while Princess Charlotte joined her family for the first time in 2016. A Lancaster bomber, two Spitfires, and two Hurricanes.  The Queen chatted with Prince Louis.  The Queen looked happy to be watching the action. Another view of Prince Louis.  Joe Little of Majesty magazine pointed out it looked like the young Prince was wearing a sailor suit his father wore to Trooping the Colour thirty-seven years ago. The flypast included contemporary and vintage aircraft.  Some readers will have already seen headlines reading, Prince Louis Stole the Show. He was quite a character as he watched the flypast. His expressions seemed to change by the second.  Between the crowds and the aircraft, it had to be incredibly loud. The sensory stimulation has to be intense for everyone, let alone a four-year-old. The Duchess chatting with her youngest. And having a laugh.  Prince George and his father.  A wider shot.   One of the most amazing aircraft formations, the Typhoons formed the number 70.   As mentioned above, the crowds were huge. More from a Metro story.  Thousands of people draped in Union Jack flags, party hats and plastic tiaras lined the Mall in the warm sunshine to take in the pomp and pageantry on display. Many queued for hours to grab a coveted spot at the front, with huge crowds also gathering in surrounding areas including Green Park, Trafalgar Square and Whitehall. But within minutes of The Queen’s Birthday Parade beginning with Trooping the Colour, those yet to make their way into town were warned that viewing areas ‘are now full’ and advised to ‘enjoy the Jubilee celebrations elsewhere’. The scene in Trafalgar Square.   From The Telegraph's coverage.  Several handmade signs hung over the barriers, with one simply saying, thank you. Cheers can be heard from the delighted revellers, some of whom had travelled from overseas just to get a glimpse of the Queen. The RAF Red Arrows finished off with their red, white, and blue smoke.   It was quite a sight.  Another shot from the balcony. And one more of HM with Prince Louis. Now for our look at styles worn for the day's events. HM was in designs by Angela Kelly, the same ensemble worn in a new portrait released last night by Buckingham Palace. The design is described as dusky blue Charmelaine wool embellished with pearl and diamante trim around the neckline and front. Today the Queen also wore her Guards brooch. More about it from The Royal Watcher.  Known as the Brigade of Guards Brooch or the Guards’ Badge, rendered in diamonds and topped by a crown, the piece combines the badges of the five Household Regiments: the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish, and Welsh Guards, all enclosed in an oval frame bearing the words QUINQUE JUNCTA IN UNO, meaning “five joined as one”.  And from The Court Jeweller.  Many, including me, think it’s the same brooch originally made for Queen Alexandra and later worn by Queen Mary. The Duchess of Cornwall wore a dress by one of her go-to designers, Bruce Oldfield with a hat by Philip Treacy. The Court Jeweller reports she wore her ...four-stranded pearl necklace with the round diamond clasp. Two more necklaces peeked out from beneath the pearls. She wore her Kiki McDonough Apollo Necklace, plus a second necklace with a gold disc pendant.  The Countess of Wessex wore a bespoke dress by Suzannah with a Jane Taylor hat and earrings by G. Collins. Thank you to Dagmar for this info. The Countess's daughter, Lady Louise, had on a Philip Treacy hat first worn by her mother for Trooping the Colour in 2009. (Thank you to Polka Popp for that tidbit!)    Now for our look at what Kate wore for Trooping the Colour 2022.  The Duchess was in a coatdress believed to be an Alexander McQueen design.  Some will remember this design from its first outing at last June's G7 reception. The design features peak lapels, slightly flared cuffs with four buttons, and a full, plated skirt.   Her hat is a Philip Treacy design, with thanks to Bojana for the speedy ID.  Here is a closer look that also shows the Duchess's updo.  Here is a look at the hat and updo in this terrific profile shot. Her earrings are a pair that belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales. Below, Diana wearing the earrings in December 1996.  Embed from Getty Imageswindow.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'v7ky9i8FTeFDHwlBS6DEig',sig:'Mt8E2G4AnxucnLOTf_s_R481xo_jTlw2waXEkeNRmgc=',w:'303px',h:'594px',items:'51665266',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});  In this montage, you see the earrings and the pendant, the latter as shown when worn to the Commonwealth service in March.   Seeing the earrings today clears up a misconception many of us shared: that the earrings worn frequently by the Duchess are not this pair, restyled.  We return to The Court Jeweller's coverage.  The earrings, featuring two sapphire and diamond clusters joined by a small diamond brilliant, come from the collection of Kate’s late mother-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales. For several years people have speculated that these earrings were dismantled to create another sapphire pair worn by Kate. I’ve always believed they were two separate pairs of earrings, and I feel particularly vindicated today! The Duchess carried her Strathberry bag, the Scottish brand's Multrees Chain Wallet Clutch ($395).  The bag measures 8 x 4 and has a detachable chain.  Tonight HM took part in a beacon-lighting ceremony at Windsor Castle. This was the first of more than 3000 beacons that will be lit throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and UK Overseas Territories. More from The Guardian's coverage.  The ceremony, part of a long tradition of celebrating jubilees, weddings and coronations with the lighting of beacons, dates back hundreds of years when beacon chains were used as communication tools. Today, they symbolise togetherness at key moments of national significance. On mountain and cliff tops, on village greens and town squares, a chain of more than 3,000 beacons were set ablaze across the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories. For the first time beacons were lit in all 54 Commonwealth capitals. A wide shot at Windsor Castle. HM after the ceremonial lighting. Buckingham Palace tonight.  The Tree of Trees at Buckingham Palace tonight. Below, Lt. Colonel Lorne Campbell, Commander of the Edinburgh Garrison, at the beacon lighting at Edinburgh Castle. Fireworks over Cardiff Bay in Wales.  One item of note: The Queen will not be attending tomorrow's Service of Thanksgiving. Buckingham Palace released a statement this afternoon.  The Queen greatly enjoyed today's Birthday Parade and Flypast but did experience some discomfort.    Taking into account the journey and activity required to participate in tomorrow's National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, Her Majesty with great reluctance has concluded that she will not attend.  VIDEOS:  Tonight's beacon lighting via the Royal Family Channel.   Reuters has nearly three hours of coverage in this video.  Sky News provides nearly five hours coverage in this video.   This video from the Royal Family Channel offers almost two minutes of coverage focused on the children.  Here is almost five minutes of coverage of the flypast.   This contains the ceremony at Horse Guards Parade and the children watching.   Sky TV offers almost three minutes coverage in this video.  The Queen and Royal family watch the RAF flypast over Buckingham Palace for the #PlatinumJubilee https://t.co/eK1x4o9XBa pic.twitter.com/Zs46ZNwgZG — ITV News (@itvnews) June 2, 2022

The Kabbalah Connection: Insiders say a celebrity-centered religious sect deeply influenced how Adam Neumann ran WeWork before its spectacular collapse...

Traveling with diabetes can be daunting at times. Our first family trip following our daughter’s diagnosis, I felt a little overwhelmed. I was very nervous, trying to think of everything we might need in anticipation of a diabetes emergency. I spent a lot of time double and triple checking all supplies, nervously calling in extra back-up to the pharmacy, and going back over everything we’d need with our endocrinology team. We actually had a big trip scheduled to Disney World the very weekend after she was hospitalized, but had to reschedule it to give ourselves time to get acclimated to life with the diagnosis. A few weeks later, we took the trip and joined our extended family at Disney, as we navigated our first ever vacation managing diabetes. Now that we’ve been at this for almost three years, I rarely blink when packing for a road trip. I’ve got the routine pretty much down pat and have found some helpful tools and strategies that streamline the process. I thought I’d share some of these tips below. For your convenience, I have also attached a helpful checklist for you at the end of this post that summarizes everything you might need for a fantastic and stress-free trip. *** Packing Strategies First, let’s talk packing strategies. Here are some overall things to keep in mind when planning a big trip: Don’t keep all your supplies in one place. If you happen to lose or forget your bag on your trip, all medical supplies are gone. My worst fear is being away from home without insulin! I always keep back up (especially the insulin and a way to inject it) in different bags, in different places and on different people.Have one stocked small bag or backpack that you carry on you at all times that is separate from the rest of your extra supplies. For us, this is the same backpack our daughter takes wherever she goes even when we are not traveling. This keeps our habit built in, reducing the chance of forgetting our daily supplies when we are off of our normal routine. This bag is usually stocked with enough necessary supplies for a day’s outing, including assorted snacks, the emergency glucagon, and the insulin/blood sugar meter supplies. Always bring extra back-up of everything. This is a time where you do not want to scrimp on extra supplies. You never know when you may have a pump failure, a lost insulin pen that falls out of your bag, or a dead battery in your blood sugar meter. Anticipate glitches and plan accordingly. I usually bring enough supplies for our normal needs of the trip duration, plus 2-3 extra of every item. ****** Travel Accessories Now, let’s talk about handy bags, cases and accessories that will keep your medical supplies organized. *Affiliate Disclaimer: This may include affiliate links where I get paid a commission for some recommendations. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. ** 1. I prefer carrying a clear bag for some of our supplies to allow better ease through security protocols. Even if you are not flying, bag checks may still be required for entry to theme parks or stadium/concert events. A clear bag allows personnel to scan your items easier, sometimes expediting the security process faster and reducing unwanted confrontations. It also allows me to find things faster. In the event I have to use the emergency glucagon, I prefer not to have to rummage through our bags any longer than necessary. The clear bag I use was an easy purchase off Amazon and I find it has plenty of room for all our supplies and more. 2. To keep insulin cool on trips, we have a handy cooler that charges straight into our car. This way, we don’t even have to worry about stocking ice in a cooler and trying to keep our insulin from getting icy or wet. I then transfer the insulin to a hotel or condo fridge once we reach our destination. Plus, on the ride home, we never worry about having to reload the ice. You can shop this handy cooler right here on Amazon. 3. To keep any insulin pens you are carrying on you for the day, I recommend a Frio. With these handy little accessories, you activate the cooling process by wetting them about 10 minutes before use. They stay cool for 24 hours after wetting and are so much easier than carrying a cooler or ice pack around. These little guys roll up easily and fit in your purse, fanny pack or small bag. You can find the one I use here on Amazon, as well. 4. I’m sure by now, you have an insulin case. But, if you’re in the market for a new one or an extra, this case is one that offers many pockets and zippers to stay organized. I like that there is plenty of room for cotton swabs, lancets, and even a separate pouch for your blood sugar meter/supplies. The only downside to this case is it does not come with a freezer pack. Since I use the Frio, this is not an issue for us. I prefer the extra space and pockets this one has to offer. Pump/CGM Supplies Our daughter uses an insulin pump, which interacts with her blood sugar monitor. Therefore, we have to think about all the pieces she needs for possible set and sensor changes while on the trip. I calculate where we are at in the 3-day pump set change and 10-day sensory change cycles. That helps me calculate how many set/sensor changes we will make on the trip. Then, I always add enough supplies for 2-3 more changes of each on top of that. ** Insulin Vials/Pens/Needles The most important item of all is, of course, the insulin. We use vials for the pump, but then we always have pens handy by prescription, if need be in case of pump issues. If we don’t have any pens in stock in the fridge, I fill our prescription for them in advance of the trip to bring with us as back-up. Keep in mind that when switching from the pump insulin to pens, you have to have longer-lasting insulin, as well. Since this is not something we use in general with the pump, it could be easy to forget to fill prescriptions for both the fast-acting insulin as well as the long-lasting. Along with the insulin pens come the needles. I always pack enough pen tip needles for an ample supply, in case we were without a pump during the trip. We also always carry a few syringes in case we need to just pull the insulin from the vials and inject them manually. Finally, don’t forget the alcohol wipes for any use with needles, whether during set/sensor changes or injections. And, speaking of needles, we also pack portable Sharps containers to discard any needles safely. We usually always have one in our car whether traveling or not. But, for our trips, I pack a couple of smaller Sharps containers that are easy to fit into a small bag. If you are looking for portable ways to discard your needles, here are some ideas below: amzn_assoc_placement = adunit0; amzn_assoc_search_bar = true; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = shershares-20; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = manual; amzn_assoc_ad_type = smart; amzn_assoc_marketplace = amazon; amzn_assoc_region = US; amzn_assoc_title = ; amzn_assoc_linkid = f0be8f49df036a54eb407a6c511dfb64; amzn_assoc_asins = B079TBNYFF,B01CUXWUB6,B07V863XG6,B01ALA32Z8; Blood Sugar Testing Supplies The blood sugar kit usually always comes with us wherever we go, as well. I always check each test strip container to make sure we’re not running close to empty on them and then, I throw in some extra test strips and lancets. I also pack a few cotton rounds for our daughter to wipe any excess blood from her fingers, as well as the alcohol wipes to sanitize. I do throw in a couple of ketone stips just to be prepared, even though we’ve thankfully never had to deal with ketones. In the event that our meter goes out or the batteries die, I usually pack a back up meter, as well. Then, the lancing device: I can’t even count how many times we have had a lancing device malfunction on us either while on a trip or just in our supplies we carry daily. Did you know you can buy these separately to have as back up? I like to stock up on these, since they seem to die more frequently than the meters, and are much cheaper than buying a whole new blood sugar meter kit. You can find the one I tend to order off Amazon below. I also included a link to the above-mentioned cotton rounds that we find handy. Our daughter likes to cut these in half to provide just the right size and extend the life cycle of her supply. Supplies for Treating Lows Almost as equally important as the insulin, is the emergency glucagon shot or nasal spray. We have a couple of each, so I tend to bring at least two along and keep them in separate places. We also go overboard on the glucose tabs. These are our life-line when we’re doing a lot of walking, especially at theme parks. We find that our daughter goes low more often on vacations than in her regular routine because of all the activity. I pack several tubes for her to carry in her pockets and our bags, so she can pop them in her mouth and stay on-the-go. I also never go light on snacks. My husband thinks I pack way too much food, but in our family with picky eaters, digestive issues and diabetes, I like to have access to plenty of options that work for us. Some convenient snacks that I recommend are protein bars and shakes (that don’t require refrigeration). Our daughter loves the Atkins products, which also help provide her with a complete mix of vitamins and nutrients, while maintaining steady blood sugars. I also carry plenty of water bottles and crystal light packets for my daughter to always have as sugar-free drink options. Then, I like to carry the mini on-the-go packets of peanut butter (with plastic utensils) or prepackaged peanut butter crackers. My family loves their peanut butter, so this is a great snack for level blood sugars. *** Paperwork and Medical IDs In our almost three years with diabetes, we have never come across any issues with security or medical accommodations, thankfully. However, I still like to stay prepared and carry medical paperwork just in case there is ever any question. There are four things I always like to bring on our trips: A copy of the letter from our doctor that describes our daughter’s diagnosis and condition. This serves as proof of her medical condition in case it is ever warranted. A copy of the American Disabilties Act (ADA) contact info and guidelines that provide information on the laws pertaining to diabetes. This is one I keep handy just in case we ever had a run in with staff at a public facility that would not allow entry with necessary snacks or medical supplies. (Yes, I am THAT type of mom that will point out exactly what laws they are breaking and what grounds I have for a lawsuit against them if they do not comply). You can find the link to print here: http://main.diabetes.org/dorg/PDFs/Advocacy/Discrimination/factsheet-diabetesdiscriminationandpublicplacesandgovernmentprograms.pdfSome form of medical alert ID as an instant alert to paramedics in case of emergency. Our daughter is at the age where she resists wearing a bracelet, because she doesn’t like to call attention to her diabetes. We usually don’t make her wear it since we are close by her on trips, but I still like to bring it along just in case. Our endocrinologist’s contact information, just in case we needed to call in an emergency prescription. Our endo’s number is already in my cell phone favorites, but I like to have it written on paper as an added back-up. *** Packing Checklist Now that I’ve run through the packing list, provided below is a summary of the whole checklist for your added convenience. **Disclaimer: This checklist should NOT be substituted for consulting your licensed medical professional. Please check with your diabetes care team to make sure you have everything you need for travel. This list is simply what works best for me and my family, and is not intended as professional medical advice.
