<strong>This concise and comprehensive course takes you through the basic and advanced topics of Ansible, explaining all the concepts clearly and thoroughly. You will not only master the concepts but also learn how to use Ansible with cloud services and containers.</strong>
        <p>Ansible is a simple IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs. Designed for multi-tier deployments from day one, Ansible models IT infrastructure by describing how all the systems interrelate, rather than just managing one system at a time. This course will guide you through multiple topics to make you understand and master Ansible.

The course starts with the learning objectives and introduces you to Ansible. Next, you will learn how to set up the environment by installing the Ansible lab, Docker, and configuring the Secure Shell (SSH) connectivity between hosts. Moving along, you will study the architecture, modules, playbooks, and YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML) syntaxes used in Ansible. Next, you will learn how to structure advanced Ansible playbooks and uncover techniques to use Ansible with cloud services and containers. Towards the end, you will learn how to use Ansible for validation, testing, and troubleshooting.

By the end of this course, you will have mastered the basic and advanced concepts of Ansible and will have developed the skills needed to work on real-world Ansible projects.

<h3><strong><span class="bon">Meditation Course</span></strong></h3>
<div><span class="bon">COURSE DESCRIPTION: </span></div>
<div>This course is based on Suryacitta&rsquo;s latest book, the Happiness and Contentment Workbook published in 2020.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Imagine a large ice cube. At its centre shines a beautiful glittering jewel. The jewel represents your innate joy and wonder - but because it is encased in a block of ice you don&rsquo;t have access to it. The ice in this image is a barrier, a barrier which prevents us from accessing the jewel of natural joy. This barrier is created by our &lsquo;rigidly held limiting beliefs&rsquo;. Our thoughts, attitudes and behaviours which keep our jewel of joy frozen and seemingly out of reach.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>If you want to access your jewel, you need to melt the ice. You can do this by simply putting it in the sun. The sun in our experience is mindfulness or awareness, and it is this quality which helps to melt the ice and reveals your jewel of nature joy.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Each session includes a short talk and a meditation and or an exercise.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The content is all pre-recorded audio by Suryacitta who rund mindfulness in Leicester. The course is aimed to be completed in ten days but you can do it over a longer period, and repeat as many times as you wish.</div>

General admission

<h3><span class="bon">Mindfulness Course</span></h3>
<div><span class="bon">COURSE DESCRIPTION:</span></div>
<div>This course is based on Suryacitta&rsquo;s 30 years of experience of practising and teaching. He is the author of five books on meditation, happiness and compassion and is an ordained Buddhist. He has observed over these 30 years that the primary problem most people have is that they over think.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Too many of us live in our head which chatters, judges, criticises, plans (when we don&rsquo;t want it to) and a million other things. Overthinking can be seen as the art of creating problems which don&rsquo;t exist. It is the main cause behind anxiety, fear, dread and also persistent sense of restlessness.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The course will explore experientially the whole idea of why we over think and what we can do about it.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Each session will include a meditation or contemplation, short talk and practical tools and techniques for everyday life.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The content is all pre-recorded audio by Suryacitta who runs Mindfulness Unleashed 24/7 a global online programme. The course is aimed to be completed in ten days, but you do it take over a longer period, and repeat as many times as you wish. Once purchased it is yours and is downloadable.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div><strong><span class="bon s24">What people say about this course&nbsp;</span></strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>"The simple exercises, the straight no nonsense way of explaining why we overthink was mind blowing."&nbsp;</div>
<div><span class="bon">Thank you. Phil (Australia)&nbsp;</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>"Suryacitta is the only Mindfulness teacher I have managed to stick with. There is an authenticity and down-to-earth quality that is lacking in many others.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Having first been told &ldquo;You think too much!&rdquo; at the age of 6, I was keen to try the course &ldquo;Help - I can&rsquo;t stop thinking!&rdquo; I found it clear, enjoyable and very useful. I particularly liked the &ldquo;ABC takeaway&rdquo; and session 3 &ldquo;Who&rsquo;s this in the shower with me&rdquo;. It is a course I will revisit when I (inevitably) get too caught up in my head in the future, for a dose of perspective and reassurance.<span class="bon">" Hannah (UK)&nbsp;</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>"The thing is, after doing literally dozens of courses, this one actually works if you follow what is suggested. "&nbsp;</div>
<div><span class="bon">Mark (Canada)&nbsp;</span></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>"Brilliant, clear, simple and done with humour too."&nbsp;</div>
<div><span class="bon">Sarah (UK)&nbsp;</span></div>

LOOKING FOR: YA, NEW ADULT & ADULT ROMANCE
Born to two bibliophiles, Isabel Lineberry could not have grown up to be anything else. She was born and raised in the Southwest United States but always knew she wanted to move to the UK. In high school she set her sights on a job in the publishing industry and hasn’t blinked since.
Isabel graduated in 2021 from Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University, with dual degrees in English Literature and Business Entrepreneurship. Just a few months later she was in Scotland pursuing an MLitt in Fantasy at the University of Glasgow. She wrote her Masters thesis on Tamora Pierce and is a fan of Ray Bradbury, Octavia Butler and Samantha Shannon. 
At Pérez Literary & Entertainment, Isabel looks after foreign rights and audio rights inquiries, assists the Managing Director and is building her own client list of contemporary stories and fantasy, across the YA and New Adult genres and any teen / Adult fiction that features a prominent romantic plot, in any guise.
Isabel is particularly interested in Contemporary Romance, Romantasy and Fantasy and is always attracted to the character and voice first, so give her romantic tension that has her giggling, a villain who is as charming as they are evil or a group of characters who have her watching their conversations as if it’s a tennis match.
More specifically, Isabel is looking for:
Romance –– For YA, updated Meg Cabot or John Green. Those were favorites for her as a teenager but she wants new takes––LGBT characters, diverse backgrounds, complex character development and a deep-dive into what it means to be a teenager in the current world. Give her relatability that doesn’t sacrifice a character’s unique traits. She is looking for the middle ground between the manic pixie dream girl and the buttoned-up character who just needs to take off their glasses.
In New Adult, Isabel is a big fan of authors like Elle Kennedy, C. W. Farnsworth, Elsie Silver and Morgan Elizabeth. BookTok romances are the perfect escapism for readers of all ages but especially for college students and young professionals like myself.

A key objective is to work with the client to increase psychological flexibility. This focus on flexibility involves helping the client contact the present moment fully as a conscious human being.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);">As part of the &#39;Third Wave&#39; of psychological therapies, ACT is not simply about overcoming pain or fighting emotions; but rather focuses on embracing life and experiencing everything it has to offer. Rather than suppress or avoid psychological experiences, ACT is based on the idea that acceptance and mindfulness can be more productive responses to the ups and down of life.</p><p style="color: rgb(111, 114, 135); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(111, 114, 135);"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">What will the workshop cover?
