From Burnout to Alignment: Why Inner Healing Is Gaining Attention in Uncertain Times – The Akashic Way

Neel Achary 0 Comment

BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C., March 4, 2026 — Burnout, uncertainty, and a growing sense of disconnection have fueled a surge in spiritual curiosity — particularly practices that promise inner alignment rather than external fixes. In The Akashic Way: Living Through the Lens of the Akashic Records, three-time Emmy Award-winning director and advanced Akashic Records practitioner Mary Madeiras explores why so many people are searching inward for clarity, affirmation, and healing.

After decades spent shaping stories for millions of viewers, Madeiras now invites readers into a different kind of narrative — one rooted in the Akashic Records, a quantum divine field believed to contain the energetic imprint of every soul’s journey through time. Rather than offering another roadmap for self-improvement, The Akashic Way reframes healing as an act of remembering and reconnecting with the deeper truth of who we are and why we are here.

“We can actually access our own journey — our own soul’s imprint — for every incarnation,” Madeiras explained.

Drawing from her own Akashic experiences and client sessions, Madeiras shows how working within the Records consistently creates alignment — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. “It’s like having a conversation with the higher, divine aspect of yourself,” she said. “And when we’re aligned, the world becomes more aligned.” The result, she believes, is clarity, affirmation, and self-empowerment — tools urgently needed in a fragmented, fast-moving world.

The Akashic Way touches upon the many challenges that pull people away from connecting with their intuition and inner love — relationship struggles, traumas, unresolved patterns, and health issues. Madeiras shows how anyone can access this deeper guidance to create meaningful change and awaken that inner love. Her personal Akashic exchanges — woven with messages for humanity — offer readers the opportunity to reflect on their life’s purpose. The wisdom from the Akashic Realm is a profound tool for rediscovering purpose, trusting intuition, and learning to live through love and intention.

As Madeiras writes, “I titled this book The Akashic Way because I believe that living life through the Akashic Records is a path back to ourselves — a way to remember who we are, why we chose to come here, and what we are here to do. When we view our life through our own Akashic lens, we experience self-empowerment in the most profound way.”

From Kuala Lumpur to Frankfurt: Lufthansa launches nonstop connection

Neel Achary 0 Comment

Mar 4: With the launch of nonstop flights from Kuala Lumpur to Frankfurt, Lufthansa Airlines is strengthening its network in Southeast Asia and focusing on growth in a dynamic region. From October 25, 2026, the connection will be offered five times a week all year around – daily except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. Flights can be booked immediately.

Flight LH 704 departs at 9:30 PM in Frankfurt and arrives in Kuala Lumpur at 4:40 PM local time the following day. The return flight LH 705 takes off at 11:55 PM in Kuala Lumpur and lands at 6:00 AM the following day in the Rhine-Main metropolis. These flight times are optimally coordinated with Lufthansa’s worldwide network from Frankfurt and offer travelers ideal connection possibilities.

The flight will be operated by the new Boeing 787, the most modern and efficient aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet. Equipped with 287 seats in three classes and the new Allegris cabin.

Jens Ritter, CEO Lufthansa Airlines, said: “With the new nonstop connection to Kuala Lumpur and the deployment of our state-of-the-art Dreamliner, we are creating ideal conditions to participate in the growth in Southeast Asia. The innovative Allegris cabin offers our guests the highest comfort and highlights underscore our premium aspiration to offer both leisure travelers and business travelers a first-class travel experience.” 

Malaysia: Attractive destination for tourism and business

Malaysia is a very popular destination for both leisure travelers and business travelers. With 42.2 million visitors in 2025, Malaysia was the most visited country in Southeast Asia. The country’s cultural diversity, natural beauty, and historical significance make it a unique travel destination.

Malaysia is also economically strong and growing rapidly. Germany is Malaysia’s most important trading partner in the European Union, and over 700 German companies are based in Malaysia. Lufthansa sees significant growth potential in the region and is specifically focusing on the development of this destination.

From the Lufthansa Group home markets (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and Italy), Lufthansa Airlines will be the only airline with nonstop flights to Malaysia. This makes Kuala Lumpur the third Lufthansa Group destination in Southeast Asia, alongside Bangkok, Singapore and Phuket.

Samsung India Launches its Most Advanced AI Phone, the Galaxy S26 Series; Pre-order Now for Exciting Offers

 

GURUGRAM, India – Mar 4 – Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, announced that its highly-anticipated Galaxy S26 series is available for pre-order in India starting today. The Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 deliver the most intuitive and natural Agentic AI mobile experiences ever engineered. From managing plans and finding information to capturing and refining content, the Galaxy S26 series reduces the effort required to get things done, allowing users to focus on results rather than how the technology works.

The Galaxy S26 series is designed with Samsung’s most advanced capabilities working together as one: performance, an intuitive camera system and Galaxy AI. This provides a strong foundation that gives Galaxy S26 users the confidence to depend on their phone throughout the day without compromising security or privacy.

Building on Samsung’s decades of innovation in display technology, Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces the industry’s first built-in Privacy Display for mobile phones, reinforcing Samsung’s commitment to privacy at a pixel level. Galaxy S26 Ultra also delivers a customised chipset and upgraded thermal management that enable faster and more powerful AI — all packed in 7.9mm, the slimmest Ultra yet.

“The Galaxy S26 series is designed to understand how people live and work. It marks a new direction for Samsung with Agentic AI that silently handles routine tasks so you can focus on what truly matters: spending time with family, boosting productivity, and enjoying everyday moments. Our engineers from the Bengaluru and Noida R&D facilities have played a pivotal role in its development, and I am proud to share that the Galaxy S26 series will also be manufactured at our factory in Noida,” said JB Park, President and CEO, Samsung Southwest Asia.

Powerful Performance Designed Around Everyday Use

Engineered for all-day performance, the Galaxy S26 series is built on the most powerful hardware ever on a Galaxy S series, engineered for AI performance, power efficiency and thermal management.

On Galaxy S26 Ultra, a customised mobile processor — Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy — delivers performance gains across CPU, GPU and NPU to support faster, smoother experiences throughout the day. A CPU performance increase of up to 19%, a 39% improvement in NPU performance , and a 24% boost in GPU performance allow users to move between tasks without lag or interruption and boost on-device AI capability

To sustain this level of performance, Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces a redesigned Vapor Chamber with a thermal interface material positioned along the processor, improving heat dissipation to keep the device cool during demanding activities such as gaming, multitasking and video capture. Galaxy S26 Ultra also brings Super-Fast Charging 3.0, reaching up to 75% charge in just 30 minutes.

Embedded into the processor, Samsung’s proprietary ProScaler improves image scaling so photos and videos appear richer and clearer at a glance. Samsung’s mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) delivers subtler and more lifelike colours thanks to image processing with four times the precision compared to the previous generation.

Galaxy’s Best Camera System Yet

The Galaxy S26 series integrates content capture, editing and sharing into a seamless experience, making creativity feel natural and accessible without professional tools or technical knowledge.

On Galaxy S26 Ultra, wider camera apertures allow more light to reach the sensor, delivering clearer photos with richer details in low-light conditions. Enhanced Nightography Video keeps footage clearer and more vibrant even in dim scenes, while upgraded Super Steady capabilities make framing easier to achieve, even with bumpy trails or fast-paced activities.

Improvements to the AI ISP now extend to the selfie camera, capturing more natural skin tones and finer detail in mixed lighting. Galaxy S26 Ultra is also the first Galaxy device to support the Advanced Professional Video (APV) standard designed to deliver efficient compression for high-quality production workflows while preserving visually lossless quality even after repeated editing.

Editing photos and videos is streamlined with AI-powered tools so users can make changes quickly without design expertise. With the upgraded Photo Assist suite, users can describe — in their own words — what they want to change; they can add or restore missing parts of images, and even modify outfits in photos. Edits can now be made continuously and adjusted or undone along the way.

Creative Studio brings creation and customisation into one integrated space, enabling users to quickly turn ideas into polished visuals — from stickers and invitations to personalised wallpapers — and share them without interrupting creative flow.

AI-powered tools like Document Scanner remove distortions and distractions such as creases or fingers to deliver clean scans instantly, while multiple images can be organised automatically into a single PDF.

Everyday Ease with Proactive and Adaptive Galaxy AI

The Galaxy S26 series reduces the steps between intent and action by working proactively on the user’s behalf based on context, surfacing the right support at the right moment and automating tasks with minimal manual input.

With Now Nudge, timely and relevant suggestions help users stay in the flow without distraction. Galaxy S26 automatically suggests photos from the Gallery when requested. It recognises Calendar entries when receiving meeting messages and checks for conflicts.

Now Brief becomes more proactive, recommending exercise playlists and surfacing reminders based on personal context. Circle to Search with Google is upgraded with enhanced multi-object recognition so users can explore multiple parts of an image in a single search.

The Galaxy S26 series integrates agents including Bixby, Gemini and Perplexity, enabling tasks to be completed with a single button press or voice prompt. Multi-step actions can be handled in the background, making tasks like booking rides, coordinating actions across apps and controlling device settings easier through natural interaction.

Layers of Protection in the Age of AI

As mobile experiences become more personalised thanks to AI, protecting privacy becomes increasingly critical. Samsung builds protection into every layer of Galaxy S26 while giving users transparency and control over how information is used.

Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces Privacy Display, protecting privacy at the pixel level. By controlling how pixels disperse light, the display keeps content clear for the user while limiting what others can see from side viewing angles.

Users can customise when privacy features turn on — such as when entering PINs and passwords or opening selected apps — and adjust settings depending on the situation. Partial Screen Privacy limits visibility for notification pop-ups, while Maximum Privacy Protection further obscures side views.

AI-powered Call Screening identifies unknown callers and summarises intent, helping users manage calls safely. Privacy Alerts notify users in real time when apps request access to sensitive data so permissions can be managed with clarity and control.

Private Album, built into Gallery, lets users safely hide selected photos and videos. Galaxy S26 also extends post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to critical system processes including software verification and firmware protection. New updates to Knox Matrix further strengthen protection across connected Galaxy devices, adding PQC-enabled end-to-end encryption for direct transfers like eSIM migrations and clearer visibility into firmware update status across the ecosystem through Security Status of Your Devices.

These updates build on Galaxy’s existing security and privacy portfolio which includes Auto Blocker, Theft Protection, Private Sharing, Secure Wi-Fi and more. And with seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates, Galaxy S26 helps keep these layers resilient over time, supporting longer, more confident use well into the years ahead.

Availability

Pre-order for Galaxy S26 series starts from February 25 across leading online and mainline retailers. Consumers can also pre-order Galaxy S26 series on Samsung Live at www.samsung.com/in/live-offers/ starting today. The Galaxy S26 series features a unified design language across all models, with shared colour options: Cobalt Violet, White, Black and Sky Blue, alongside the Samsung.com exclusive Pink Gold and Silver Shadow.

AD Ports Group Confirms Business Continuity Across All Operations Amid Regional Developments

Neel Achary 0 Comment

Abu Dhabi, UAE – Mar 4: AD Ports Group (ADX: ADPORTS), a leading global enabler of trade, industry and logistics solutions, confirms that all operations across its clusters continue as normal in light of current regional developments.

As a precautionary measure, the Group has activated its crisis management and business continuity protocols, in coordination with the concerned authorities in the UAE to safeguard its workforce, partners and stakeholders, while ensuring uninterrupted services to customers.

AD Ports Group Confirms Business Continuity Across All Operations Amid Regional Developments

 

All UAE ports and terminals managed and operated by the Group’s Ports Cluster, in addition to related services remain fully operational.

As traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has declined, a corresponding reduction in vessel calls at Khalifa Port is anticipated. However, services at Khalifa Port will remain fully operational and uninterrupted. The Group expects increased volumes across its diversified global maritime network as a result of shifting trading routes due to the evolving regional developments. 

Across the Group’s Maritime & Shipping Cluster, the majority of its 122 shipping vessels including container, bulk, Ro-Ro, and multipurpose vessels are operating outside the Strait of Hormuz. Those currently within the Strait continue to operate intra-Gulf services. Overall, the impact on the Maritime & Shipping Cluster is expected to be limited. The Group’s Economic Cities & Free Zones and Logistics Clusters are likewise expected to experience limited impact. 

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group, said: “Global trade has historically demonstrated resilience during periods of geopolitical tension. Through disciplined execution, operational excellence and proactive risk management, AD Ports Group remains well positioned to support supply chain stability and uphold its commitments to customers across its global network, in line with vision with our wise leadership.’’

As a diversified global trade enabler with an integrated international portfolio, AD Ports Groop continues to closely monitor geopolitical developments and assess any potential implications for maritime routes, supply chains, and global trade flows. The Group will provide further market updates as the situation evolves.

NETSCOUT Reveals Qualitative Shifts in DDoS Attack Sophistication, Infrastructure Capacity, and Threat Actor Capabilities

admin 0 Comment
Business Wire India

NETSCOUT® SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), today released its second half of the year 2025 Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Threat Intelligence Report, revealing sophisticated attacker collaboration, resilient botnets, and compromised IoT infrastructure that drove more than eight million DDoS attacks worldwide – some as large as 30 terabits per second (Tbps) – marking a new era of hyper-scale, coordinated threat activity that continues to outpace global takedown efforts. Meanwhile, the accelerating growth of DDoS-for-hire services is empowering a broader range of threat actors, intensifying operational risk to digitally connected organizations and enterprises.

 

Implications for security professionals extend far beyond volumetric concerns and include reconnaissance and adaptive evasion which challenge traditional defense paradigms. Organizations must match adversarial innovation with intelligent, autonomous defenses, or risk operational disruption at levels previously considered theoretical.

 

“Threat actors identify organizations that haven’t invested in the right defenses to stay ahead of sophisticated and coordinated DDoS attacks to take down critical infrastructure,” stated Richard Hummel, director, threat intelligence, NETSCOUT. “Traditional security defenses are no longer working, and with attackers hitting new attack size and complexity ceilings, implementing automated and proactive defenses has become a business-level risk mandate – not just a technical concern for security professionals.”

 

Key research findings include:

 

  • Massive Attacks on a Global Scale – More than eight million attacks were identified across 203 countries and territories globally.
  • Continued Use of Multi-Vector Attacks – approximately 42% of DDoS attacks employed two to five distinct attack vectors, with some adapting dynamically throughout the attack to complicate detection and mitigation.
  • Outbound Attacks Impact Broadband and Mobile Services – Extensive direct-path attacks revealed that compromised IoT and customer-premises equipment can generate outbound floods exceeding 1 Tbps, creating liability, service, and reputational risk for broadband and mobile providers.
  • Critical Infrastructure Targeted – High-value services such as NTP and DNS continue to face sustained attack pressure, emphasizing the need for resilient, globally distributed architectures to maintain service continuity.
  • Threat Actors Scale Up Collaboration – A surge of more than 20,000 botnet-driven attacks in July 2025 exemplified how coordinated threat activity can rapidly overwhelm defenses and disrupt critical government, finance, and transportation services.
  • Threat Actor Persistence – Despite international law enforcement dismantling multiple DDoS-for-hire platforms, hacktivist groups and botnets remain resilient, exerting increased pressure.
  • AI Integration Accelerates Operations and Collaboration – AI has transitioned to an operational reality, with large language models (LLMs) on the dark web accelerating vulnerability exploitation and botnet expansion, and underground forums documenting a 219% increase in mentions of malicious AI tools. Groups like Keymous+ have demonstrated how partnerships between threat actors amplify attack power, with bandwidth increasing nearly fourfold.

 

NETSCOUT maps the DDoS landscape through passive, internet vantage points, providing unparalleled visibility into global attack trends. For more than 15 years, NETSCOUT has delivered trusted, consistent DDoS Intelligence based exclusively on directly observed, verifiable attack traffic. NETSCOUT does not aggregate multiple alerts or geographically distributed events into composite peak values, ensuring accuracy, repeatability, and true comparability across reporting periods. Peak metrics reflect single-second maximum bits-per-second (bps) and packets-per-second (pps) rates measured at defined mitigation and monitoring points.

 

NETSCOUT protects two-thirds of the routed IPv4 space, securing network edges that carried global peak traffic of over 800 Tbps, covering 376 industry verticals and 12,698 Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) in the second half of 2025. It monitors tens of thousands of daily DDoS attacks by tracking multiple botnets and DDoS-for-hire services that leverage millions of abused or compromised devices.

Pinky’s Moving Story by George M. Johnson, now available from Histria Books

Neel Achary 0 Comment
 

Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of Pinky’s Moving Story by George M. Johnson. This book is published by Histria Kids, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding works for children that both educate and entertain.

Pinky is the smallest and youngest house on her street—even at one hundred years old—who loves her cozy neighborhood and the older couple who care for her. When nearby houses are torn down to make way for tall apartment blocks that “block the sun,” and workers suddenly arrive to lift Pinky from her foundation and roll her through dark city streets, she fears she’s on her way to the rubbish dump instead of to a new home.

Inspired by real house moves, Pinky’s Moving Story gently introduces children to big ideas about change, belonging, and caring for the environment. Rather than demolishing Pinky, her journey ends with a joyful new family—three children and their parents—who name her, love her, and give her the happy ending she never expected. An informational note highlights how moving and reusing houses can help protect trees, reduce waste, and preserve history, helping young readers see that old and overlooked things can be saved, cherished, and given new life.

Written by award‑winning children’s author George M. Johnson and vividly illustrated by Dawn Burn, Pinky’s Moving Story explores change, belonging, and community.

George Johnson, a creative writing professor at Thompson Rivers University and recipient of the YMCA Peace Medal, also writes environmentally themed plays and songs inspired by his own experience of losing an old family home.

Illustrator Dawn Burn, a painter with a Master’s Degree in Visual Art and a background in art education, brings Pinky’s world to life with bold color, warmth, and emotional depth.

Pinky’s Moving Story by George M. Johnson, illustrated by Dawn Burn, 36 pp., ISBN 978-1-59211-673-7, is available at HistriaBooks.com and from all major book retailers. The book is also available as an eBook. Titles published under the imprints of Histria Books are distributed in the United States and Canada by Simon & Schuster and in the rest of the world through Unified Book Distribution.

Long before she was a cautionary tale, Eve was a woman who dared to think. Cast out of Eden and burdened by motherhood, exile, and a divine curse to submit, she refuses to be defined by the world’s expectations of her.

As ancient civilizations rise around them, Adam finds comfort in settlement and dominion — while Eve watches the world take shape and asks the question no one wants her to ask: Why must women follow? Leaving behind all she loves, she embarks on a solitary quest across deserts, ancient cities, and open seas — to seek knowledge, defy her god-given curse, and carve out a freer world for the women who will follow.

Lyrical and fiercely feminist, Eve reclaims the first woman as the hero she always was.

Praise for Eve: A Novel:

“Eve is a lush, resonant novel that reimagines Eve’s wandering quest for the answers of existence.” – Foreword Reviews

“Lucidly rendered from the first woman’s point of view, Eve manages to be essentially faithful to scripture and yet boldly original. As we should have seen all along, Eve is the hero of the story, and if God’s ways to men are to be justified, it can only be through her unique creative power.” – John Rumrich, author of Matter of Glory and Milton Unbound
