Sorry We're Open
Oxford is more than a town, much more. It's a way of life, a place built with words that holds the heart, mind and spirit of those who call it home whether for four years or a lifetime. Oxford is at the crossroads of Southern culture, class and cuisine. The storied buildings around the picture perfect town square seem to hold the key to Southern culture, equally embracing learning and leisure. In many ways Oxford is a dichotomy, simultaneously offering stimulation and serenity, creativity and calm. Oxford is a state of mind, a gateway to some and a lifelong home to others. It's a place where all four seasons take a firm hold, accentuated by football games, festivals and friendships.
Oxford is full of stories that resonate with a tenor that can only be found in a town that reverberates Southern charisma and charm. Enjoy the slices of life that follow as they are but snapshots of the town and university we so deeply love and admire.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION DAILY NEWS – 20 MAYBrussels Daily
Reports explore potential impact of new origin labelling for certain foods
Today, the Commission publishes two reports on origin labelling, as requested by the Council and European Parliament in the Food Information for Consumers Regulation (1169/2011). Both conclude that the benefits from new mandatory labelling requirements do not clearly outweigh the costs and that voluntary labelling rules seem to be the most suitable solution. The first report looks at the feasibility of different options for mandatory origin labelling for dairy products and for minor meats, notably horsemeat, rabbit meat and meat from game and birds (farmed and wild), given that labelling rules are already in place for beefmeat, pigmeat, poultrymeat, sheepmeat and goatmeat. Considering consumer attitudes towards additional information and potential extra costs, as well as any technical and administrative requirements arising for businesses and public authorities, the report concludes that for dairy products there would be an uneven impact on producers, making it more burdensome for some than for others. It also seems that consumers are not willing to pay more for the additional information. The report therefore suggests that the existing options for voluntary labelling could address some consumer demands while retaining flexibility for Member States and food operators. For the "minor meats", the report similarly concludes that compulsory origin labelling would imply operational costs which would not outweigh the benefits. The second report explores the need for consumers to be informed on the origin of unprocessed foods, single ingredient products and ingredients that represent more than 50 % of a food. It concludes that consumers are interested in origin labelling for all these food categories, but less so for food categories such as meat, meat products and dairy products. The report also looks at the costs and benefits of labelling rules, including the impact on the internal market and on international trade, and concludes that voluntary origin labelling, combined with existing mandatory origin labelling regimes for specific foods or categories of food, is the most suitable way forward. These reports will be transmitted to the European Parliament and the Council.
State of Nature: Largest ever assessment draws a mixed picture for Europe's habitats and species
Today the Commission adopted a new report providing the most comprehensive picture yet on the 'State of Nature in the EU'. The findings show that the majority of birds have a secure status, and some species and habitats are doing better. Commissioner for Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Karmenu Vella, said: "This report is significant and timely. While it shows a mixed picture overall, it clearly demonstrates that efforts to improve vulnerable ecosystems can be highly effective. It also shows the scale of the challenges that remain. We have to rise to those challenges, as the health of Europe's people, and also our economy, is linked to the health of our nature." The findings of the report will feed into the ongoing Fitness Check of the Birds and Habitat Directives, which is part of a broader exercise taking stock of EU legislation to ensure that it is fit for purpose. A press release is available here

A big, beautiful country house in a hidden part of Andalucia – beat the hordes and discover less-trodden paths
The Experience
A short, rough track leads you to this big, stone country house. Although built as recently as 2007 it exudes a timeless feel with its iron chimney, shutters and ivy-draped exterior. Stepping inside you immediately know that this is a much-loved family home – it's filled with designer Sonia's family photos, paintings and antique furniture. The living/dining room is the hub of the house with a huge open fire and views to the garden through floor-to-ceiling windows; the grand wooden dining table positively encourages convivial meals and late night chatting while the small kitchen is off here and has a large serving hatch so you won't have to run round every time. And there's a TV room and book-filled snug. Bedrooms (some up, some down) are lovely and peaceful; the downstairs en suite doubles open to the garden and the double bunkroom is fun for kids. Outside: soak up the sun next to the infinity pool, retreat to the shade of the vine-covered terrace. You're near the Sierra de la Pandera and hugged by olive groves so it feels deliciously remote but you're not far from the city of Jaén with its impressive renaissance cathedral.

This is the third time Britt has come to Scottsdale for my assistance and each time he has improved. He has worked hard to improve his technique and consistency. All I can say is Britt's hard work has paid off.
The first time I saw Britt I knew he had NFL potential but his technique needed refinement. With refinement comes consistency. In the last six months Britt has really improved his foot to ball contact.
In the photo above you can see that Britt's foot to ball contact is excellent. During his field goal workout Britt was 10 for 10 hitting every kick almost directly down the middle from 30 to 50 yards.
During his bonus field goal round, Britt was again deadly accurate. He was 4 of 5 missing his last kick from 58 yards.
In the above photo you see that Britt has learned to eliminate his crunching habit and is now kicking up and through the ball much better.
During his kickoff workout he should he has the ability to place the ball to the corners with accuracy and good hang times. The key for any kicker that does not have a big leg is consistency on directional kickoffs.
Britt's kicking workout will be posted on my website in a few of days. I want to congratulate him for his hard work and perseverance.
It has been a real pleasure working with Britt and I wish him the best of luck in his pursuit of an NFL or UFL career.

Last year, I received my Cricut from my husband as a Christmas gift. It was a complete surprise, I never knew he even knew what it was!, and I've had so much fun creating fun and geeky DIYs this year! One of the first things I made with my Cricut was a 2018 geeky headband, inspired by Star Wars! Because why wouldn't you want to start the new year out with the force?
View this post on Instagram
Everyone is wearing cute, sparkly dresses and I'm over here like, May the Force Be With You. ✨⭐ Happy New Year!!! 🎆🎈 • • Thanks for the headband inspiration @heyletsmakestuff! • • • • #nye #2018headband #2018 #newyearseve #newyear #geekchic #geekblogger #geekblog #ringinginthenewyear #geekblog #cricut #cricutcreations #cricutmade #diy #cricutdiy #starwarsdiy #starwarsstyle #starwarslife #starwars #maytheforcebewithyou #cricutcrafts #pittsburghblogger #pittsburghblog #pittsburghbloggerbabes
With NYE right around the corner, I knew I wanted to make a 2019 geeky headband to wear at my exciting party (aka playing board games with friends). This year there were so many themes to choose from — Marvel, Harry Potter, LOTR, Star Wars, Stranger Things, Wonder Woman — but in the end, I went with Game of Thrones, because winter is coming.
2019 is going to be a great year for movies and TV shows, but when I say I'm so excited for more Game of Thrones, I'm also so sad that it's the FINAL SEASON! I don't even want to think too much about what is going to happen to some of my favorite characters… regardless, my 2019 NYE headband is all about Game of Thrones this year.
Check it out and make your own to celebrate the new year and the final season!
Make Your Own Game of Thrones New Year's Eve Headband
What You Need:
- Plastic headband
- Silver glitter cardstock paper
- Black cardstock paper
- Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
- Regular glue stick
- 2019 Game of Thrones Cutout Files — DOWNLOAD 1 (top piece) & DOWNLOAD 2 (bottom piece)
- Cricut Explore Air II (or a similar machine) and cutting accessories (mat, weeder, scraper)
If you have a Cricut, you can access this project on my Cricut Design Space profile.
First, download the 2019 Game of Thrones files (found in the list above) and load them into Circuit Design Space.
Size the top piece (with visible numbers and logos) at 5.45 inches width by 2.23 height and cut it out on your black cardstock paper. Weed the pieces off of your mat and set aside. NOTE: some of the cuts of this file are very intricate, be careful when removing it from your mat.
Size the bottom piece (which serves as the background of the headband) at 6.03 inches width by 2.66 height and cut it out on your silver glitter cardstock paper. Weed the pieces off of your mat and set aside.
Use your regular glue stick to glue the top black number on top of the corresponding silver number, centering it so that there is equal glitter showing on all edges.
TIP: Place the glued numbers between the pages of a heavy book while they dry for several minutes to help the top pieces stick to the glitter cardstock paper.
Next, fold the tabs on the silver glitter cardstock to create "stands" for each of the numbers.
Place a small dot of hot glue on the bottom of each "stand" and place each of the numbers to your headband. Let the glue dry entirely and then you're ready to try on your 2019 NYE crown.
Brace yourselves, NYE is coming…

|President Laurent Gbagbo during peace talks in Pretoria
A legal advisor to the Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo says if the country is still divided, elections cannot take place and Mr. Gbagbo must remain the president. The Monday deadline for disarmament in Ivory Coast has passed without results, but talks in South Africa to resolve the situation have yielded a new agreement on disarmament.
The judicial affairs advisor to Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo, Siene Oulai, said it would be impossible to hold October elections with Ivory Coast divided between a rebel-held north and a government-controlled south. Mr. Oulai said it would only be possible to go to elections in a united country.
The former justice quoted Article 38 of the Ivorian constitution, which says if there is a threat to the territorial integrity of the country, the constitutional commission must decide in 24 hours to stop the electoral process or suspend the announcement of results.
Mr. Oulai added that according to Article 39, if elections are interrupted, President Gbagbo must remain in office.
Mr. Oulai said the constitution requires the president to remain in office until his successor takes over. He added if there are no elections, the life of the country will continue.
Most of the president's opponents agree that elections in the country cannot take place under present circumstances. But that say Mr. Gbagbo should leave the presidency after October.
Opposition leader, Anaky Kobenan, says there are too many weapons and people who want to fight to hold an election.
"We think today maybe the best thing for Cote d'Ivoire should be what we call a transition," he said. "A transition means after October the head of state, Mr. Gbagbo, will no more be the head of state. So if at this time, the political forces involved in this crisis were ready to sit down now, and see the best way to run the country for maybe two or three years."
Ivory Coast has been divided since 2002 when an armed rebellion sparked a civil war.
Several peace accords have been signed by the parties, but have failed to be implemented. An April peace agreement signed in Pretoria has been blocked, because rebels refuse to disarm. But Ivory Coast leaders agreed at South African-brokered talks in Pretoria Wednesday, to disarm rebels and dismantle pro-government militias.

6 Things You'll Want to Know Before Planning an International Yoga Retreat
From visas and vaccines to delayed flights and unexpected changes in plans, there is much to consider when planning an international vacation. And this is particularly true for yoga teachers planning retreats abroad, says Erika Veley CEO and Founder of Blissed Yoga Retreats. "The more research you do before you start planning, the better, as there are so many details to consider," she says.

6 Tips for Planning an International Yoga Retreat
Here, Veley and Carol Dimopoulos, president and creator of Perillo's Learning Journeys, share their top tips for yogis planning an international retreat, plus a few destination-specific pieces of advice to keep in mind.
1. Research the weather.
Sounds simple, but getting familiar with the weather patterns of your chosen destination before you choose your dates is crucial, Veley says. "Traveling during monsoon season, or when the chance of rain is high, is likely to get you cheap rates—but it can also ruin an experience," she says. "For example, don't go to Costa Rica in September, when there's crazy rain. Even if a retreat center gives you the best rate in the world, you won't want to be there." For cheaper-than-high-season rates, minus the risk of bad weather, research a destination's "shoulder season"—the time of year just before or after the ideal time of year to visit.
2. Consider partnering with pros.
Researching various destinations, reading up on retreat centers, and planning soul-fulfilling teaching is the fun part of planning an international retreat. Dealing with all of the details like collecting money from your students, helping them book flights, and spending time troubleshooting issues that pop up in foreign countries? Not so much fun. That's why Dimopoulos says working with a travel company like hers can not only make your life easier, but also help save you (and your students) money in the long run. "Travel companies book so much travel, that we're often able to score incredible deals, as well as offer steep discounts on things like travel insurance and city guides," she says. "Once a trip is planned, it's all about deposits and liabilities and insurance, so working with a professional company can help save you money, time, and energy on all of this."
3. Do as much work ahead of time as you can.
Veley recommends planning multiple phone calls with your hotel or retreat center before your retreat. You'll want to review your schedule with the team on location to work out any kinks and troubleshoot potential problems. "This will also help you create a comprehensive resource document for your clients, so they know what to expect when they arrive," she adds.
4. Be ready to adjust your teaching plans in real time.
When yoga teachers Lauren Eckstrom and Travis Eliot led a Blissed Yoga Retreat in Cambodia, they took their group of yogis to Angkor Wat at 4 A.M. for what everyone thought would be a sunrise asana class. When the group arrived, though, they were told they'd need to pay $1,500 to go ahead with their practice as planned. "So we pivoted," Veley says, "and turned it into an opportunity to do a walking meditation." Even better, Eckstrom and Eliot knew how to use the surprising change of plans—something that happens often when traveling internationally—as a teaching moment, emphasizing the importance of non-attachment. "When leading an international yoga retreat, I think part of your message is likely going to be how to go with the flow and release expectations, because when you're traveling abroad, so much is out of your control," adds Veley. "If you can turn this fact into a lesson on yoga and life and living in the moment, that can help."

5. Designate one person as a "logistics leader."
When traveling abroad with a group, emergencies can pop up, students can get sick, and plans for excursions can get canceled last-minute. Assigning one person to take responsibility for dealing with all of these logistics is crucial, Veley says, since it can be time-consuming and distracting. "The key is that if something happens, you don't want to divert your students' attention away from their experience," she says. "As a teacher, you want to maintain a positive energy within the group," which may be harder to do if you're the point person for handling all of the potential snafus that can pop up.
6. Understand a few destination-specific tips.
Many common yoga retreat destinations present specific situations and have certain requirements that may not come to mind immediately as you're planning your retreat. Here, Veley and Dimopoulos share their top tips on what to know if you're planning a retreat in one of the following countries:

text: Paperwork that must accompany hazardous waste shipments is a step closer to being replaced with an electronic tracking system. In a voice vote last week, the House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee approved a bill (S. 710) that would mandate electronic manifests for hazardous waste. The Senate passed the legislation a year ago. The Resource Conservation & Recovery Act requires a manifest system to ensure that hazardous waste arrives at treatment, storage, or disposal facilities. The system now involves six copies of a paper form that accompanies the waste as it is transported. The forms are later mailed to state agencies and generators of the waste, which include chemical companies and universities. Recipients of the forms must keep this paper on file. Under S. 710, EPA would establish the electronic manifest system, and the agency would be authorized to collect user fees to offset costs. Proponents of the bill, both Republicans and Democrats, say the change would save agencies, generators, and transporters collectively tens of millions of dollars per year.

If you want to spend a perfect vacation, choosing accommodation in the tourist resort is the perfect choice. We offer a large selection of tourist resorts. Choose your accommodation, book a tourist resort and spend carefree holiday in the beautiful Island Murter.
The island of Murter is the largest of all the islands in the Sibenik archipelago. A narrow canal separates the island from the mainland and they are connected by way of a 37m long bridge. The lime-stone part of the island of Murter is scantily covered in vegetation and its many sun-covered inlets are great for swimming and catching a few rays for example, the inlets of Slanica and Jezera.
The island's inhabitants are known for growing and cultivating olive trees as well as making olive oil, fishing, stock-breeding (grazing the animals on Murter as well as Kornati), and they are turning more and more towards tourism. Here guests can find a range of accommodations including apartments and rooms in private residents, bed & breakfasts, as well as camping grounds located right by the sea. The island also offers a wide range of restaurants which serve homemade specialties, mostly seafood.
Some of the larger towns on the island of Murter are Murter, Tisno, Betina, and Jezera.
The town of Murter is located next to the seashore and lies at the bottom of Raduca (125m high), at the edge of a fertile and lush field. Found in the centre of Murter is the medieval church of St. Mihovila which was renovated in the year 1770. Just west of the town of Murter is the Slanica inlet where guests will find beautiful beaches and camp ground. Tisno is a town which partly sits on the island of Murter and the other half on the neighbouring shoreline.
The town of Betina was founded in the 16th century by the inhabitants of Vrana who were retreating from the Turks at the time. Nearby, on Mt. Gradina, lay the archaeological remains of an old Illyrian-Roman city called Collentum. In the town of Betina there is a small shipyard where small sport boats are built and it is home to some ship-builders which are known throughout the Adriatic for their expertise. Betina is the perfect place to take a quiet and pleasant holiday, especially for those who love to sail. It is a known fishing town so all of its restaurants and taverns always offer fresh seafood daily.
The town Jezera (Lakes) got its name due to the many large puddles which would form in the island's valleys after heavy rains. On the nearby hill of Mortar lays an old tower which was used for signalling to seamen by using fire. Today, the town of Jezera is known to be one of the largest fish trading centres in Croatia.

Castel Sant'Angelo may be the most worthwhile attraction in Rome that requires admission. Unlike more famous sites like the Colosseo or the Musei Vaticani, Emperor Hadrian's fortress-turned-museum is relatively uncrowded, features an art exhibition and provides brilliant views of the city. Located in front of the castle is Rome's most beautiful bridge, the Ponte Sant'Angelo, Bernini's bridge with ten angels spanning its length across the Tevere.

Marie Antoinette
Year: 2006
Review: This documentary on Marie Antoinette was superb. When I turned it on, I was glued to the screen. I accept the fact that this documentary does not show many actors completely acting out a scene, but along with the narrators and original paintings of the past, you can picture the whole story in your mind. In other words, the paintings and the pictures of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI told everything of what had happened. It is just like reading a comic book without text. You can just weave the picture together yourself. I did not regret ordering this two hour film on Marie Antoinette, and I suggest that whoever is interested about France's history, should not miss the life story of Marie Antoinette

Here's our big suggestion to those brimming with holiday charitable spirit: Treat any would-be donation like you would an investment. After all, as a supporter, you become a stakeholder. Do your research and learn all you can.
Toward that goal, we present here our annual list of the country's 200 largest nonprofits--just a slice, albeit a very hefty one, of the more than 1 million nonprofits now operating in the U.S.
As might be expected from a business publication, we closely examine the financial efficiency of each organization. These numbers can tell you a lot, but are by no means the entire story; there are a lot of other factors to consider. So our list doesn't relieve you from doing your own due diligence--although it can give you a start.
By The Numbers: The Largest U.S. Charities
During the last year, the charities on this list reported average gifts of $203 million, up 2.5% from the previous period. That was slightly more than the 2.1% jump in top pay (usually that of the nonprofit's top person) to $496,965. Gifts continued to comprise about 40% of a nonprofit's total revenue.
We determine the country's largest nonprofits on the basis of private gifts (not total revenues) reported in the latest available fiscal year. Among other criteria, the list excludes academic institutions (who generally solicit only among alumni, but are usually fairly efficient), charities with only a few donors (such as most private foundations and, say, Ted Turner's United Nations Association), community foundations, religious entities that don't report numbers and outfits whose data we question. We have classified each within 10 broad categories, such as domestic social needs, public affairs and youth.
For each nonprofit, we present a considerable amount of basic raw data, as well as a link to its website, where, often, annual reports and detailed financial statements can be found. In addition, we calculate three major efficiency ratios and the trend from a previously reported period. The higher, the better. Here's a description of these statistics:
Charitable Commitment: This measures how much of total expense went directly to the charitable purpose (also known as program support) as opposed to management, certain overhead and fundraising. The average this year is 85%, down 1%. The individual figures range from a bottom of 32% for World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and 63% for San Francisco TV station KQED to 100% for three: Brother's Brother Foundation, Gifts in Kind International and Gleaning for the World.
Fundraising Efficiency: Perhaps the most closely watched statistic, this shows the cut of gifts left after subtracting the cost of getting them. The average this year: unchanged at 90%. We recommend a cold, hard look at anyone with an efficiency below 70%. The bottom of our list holds the same three as last year: Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S., at 65%, Paralyzed Veterans of American at 66%, and KQED at 68%. At the top end, 16 nonprofits have a 100% fundraising efficiency, often thanks to larger gifts. This group includes Brother's Brother Foundation, Direct Relief International and Public Broadcasting System.
Donor Dependency: The trickiest, and, thanks largely to investment performance, most volatile of our ratios, this measures how badly a nonprofit needs your contribution to break even. We subtract the annual surplus or deficit from gifts, then divide this figure by the gifts. Reflecting a slightly improving stock market (remember, the data is often lagged by a year or more), the average this year was 68%, down 1%. The higher the percentage, the more the charitywell, needed the charity. A result above 100% means the nonprofit ran a deficit. Tops this year was Robert W. Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta at 129%, followed by Project Orbis International at 120% and Heart to Heart International at 116%. A negative number means the nonprofit's surplus actually was bigger than total gifts. Fourteen nonprofits, mainly hospitals and museums collecting fees for service, were at this extreme, led by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, at -413%.
We again warn against mindlessly comparing ratios of different kinds of nonprofits, as each has a certain degree of uniqueness. But our data certainly can be helpful in the early stages of an evaluation of any nonprofit--on our list or not. Say you're interested in contributing to a smaller agency that helps the needy overseas. The ratios of several similar larger ones on our list can provide a sense of the norms for such enterprises.

e-Invoicing is fast becoming the most sought-after way to improve AP invoice processing. However, an ill-conceived or poorly executed project can set your AP function back for years and leave a bitter taste with both you and your suppliers.
The success of any e-Invoicing project relies heavily on the rate of supplier adoption. Your supply chain will not tolerate multiple attempts to get an e-Invoicing project off the ground. You need to get it right first time. That means not only selecting the correct solution but also knowing how to deploy your project correctly.
To help you avoid the most common onboarding mistakes, we have compiled the top-five reasons why supplier enrolment fails:
Companies can forget that the majority of their invoices come from suppliers who would benefit from some form of integration so invoice information is sent directly between their finance system and their customers'. It's important that your provider has flexible options that suit all your vendors, whether they send 5 or 5,000 invoices each month.
e-Invoicing relies on people changing well-established processes. Treating this as anything other than a change management programme will result in poor adoption among your suppliers.

Wpa is most common WiFi security that we use today. Its algorithm is secure enough, but still, you can hack it.
I have found two best way to hack WPA wireless network. First one is best for those who want to learn wifi hacking. The second method is best for those who want to hack wifi without understanding the process
Make sure you installed Linux because these tools are working in Linux. Kali Linux and Parrot sec are recommended distributions.
This is still the most common way to hack WPA network. If you are looking for content to learn WPA hacking, then it is perfect for you.
Anyway, today our topic is how to hack WPA or wpa2 wifi from your home or without any signal.
If you are completely new to hacking then read my post hacking for beginners
In this technique, nothing new same software Aircrack-ng and crunch Just modified commands in the right way.
And you haven't wait for until a client joins that network. I will show you how to disconnect the client from the router.
Ok, let's start.
How to install Hacking OS Kali Linux on Pc
Ignore above warning if you did not understand this.
If you have any suggestion, complaint or unable to understand then don't forget to leave a comment.
I have divided tutorial into 2 parts. part 2 can be done from your home but for part 1 you need the wifi signal.
Part 1: Capturing WPA Handshake
what is WPA handshake
Power on your Machine and open terminal.
Type su.
If you are not log in as the root user, then it will ask for root password.
Next step type ifconfig and press enter. It will show all available network interface. Take a look all of these. If there is wlan0 is present, then you can go ahead. In some distribution, it is named something different like wlXXXX. It indicates that you can use wifi.
Next step is about killing your internet. It is important. Here is the command.
ifconfig wlan0 down
Next step is about enables monitor mode.
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
Above command will enable monitor mode. You have to enable monitor mode. Monitor mode is used see information about wifi networks that are available in our range. For disconnecting the client from network monitor mode is important (read full post you will understand what I am talking about).
After that, you need to kill (stop) some computer process.
airmon-ng check kill
It will kill all the process that can cause a problem in wifi hacking. For e.x. Network manager. We all of us enable auto-connect to our network. For hacking, it causes a problem, so you have to stop this process.
After that, you can see all available network (depend upon your wireless card range). I from a village so there is only one wifi network available. To do this run following command.
airodump-ng wlan0
It will show all network with a lot of information. It will continue until you did not stop it.
Press ctrl+c to stop it.
Next step is important to See everything about your target network BSSID is mac address ESSID is the name of Network. ENC shows security used network. Before going ahead make sure it is WPA or wpa2. CH shows your channel number.
Depending upon your target you have to change channel number. In my case, it is eight look it above screenshot.
iwconfig wlan0 channel 8
Your adapter channel will change from anything to 8.
Using following command you can capture WPA handshake.
airodump-ng -c 1 -bssid 90:8D:78:73:34:12 -w scan wlan0
Here -c is channel no. and –bssid is the id of a target network. -w is the file where we want to save handshake with the name of the scan.
This will try to capture handshake mean wait until somebody is not joining your wifi (which makes no sense). But you did need to wait. Open a new terminal and run this aireplay-ng -0 0 -a bssid here. Here is the full command.
aireplay-ng -0 0 -a 90:8D:78:73:34:12 wlan0
It will launch dos attack on Router so all connected devices(client) will be disconnected. When any device disconnects from the router, you will see WPA Handshake captured in the previous terminal.
When the handshake is captured press ctrl+c to stop aireplay-ng. It is important to stop because it stops internet of WiFI.
As you see I have posted the screenshot of both terminals. You can see WPA handshake is captured so no need of the second terminal.
Now part 1 is complete go back to your home. To confirm type ls if there is any file with the name of scan-01.Cap here is the screenshot.
Part 2
Now relax because next steps are bit different from above commands.
Now you can go back to your home because the next steps can be done from anywhere in the world.
We have captured WPA handshake, but now we have to crack it using wordlist attack.
I hope you wordlist attack in hacking for beginners post (scroll to top)
If you already know then great. We will create word list text file using crunch.
Command to create the wordlist.
crunch min max characters -o filename to save results
Crunch 8 10 1234567890 -o password.txt
it will create a wordlist of digits 1234567890 (you can use characters too) where minimum length is 8 and the maximum length is 10. All that words will be saved in the password.txt file.
Read How to use crunch in advance
aircrack-ng -w password.txt scan.cap
it will try every word of password.txt as password. if password is in the file it will show you something like this.
Tips to Make cracking process faster:
- Close unnecessary tabs it will create process fast.
- Use More than One Computer with different word list files.
Task is not complete
Know you have hacked wifi, but you have to type some commands for disabling monitor mode and starting NetworkManager here are these commands
If you want to understand this technique read aircrack-ng method before this
One main problem with aircrack-ng is that it become long process when password length is greater than 8.
Some people use the unique character in the password which makes impossible to hack.
Fluxion is the solution to all these problems. It is future of wifi hacking
It is easy to use, and your task will be complete within few minutes.
Ok, no more words.
How fluxion works?
Well, first of all, it captures WPA handshake automatically and then applies Man in the middle attack.
Ii will ask your victim for the password (see the screenshot).
You know Best thing about Fluxion is
If user types the wrong password, it detects automatically (because it capture WPA handshake, so it try user input as the password using aircrack-ng ) and shows user warning like this
Mean your wifi hacking passwords chance are 99% (fucking amazing 🙂 ).
When victim typed correct password, then all service will be stopped running by fluxion, and so the user can use the internet.
Here is how to install it and use it
it is available at GitHub run this command to clone it.
git clone https://github.com/wi-fi-analyzer/fluxion.git
This command will save it to the current working directory which is ~ in my case.
After downloading we need to navigate to that directory so do it
cd fluxion
This directory has some directories and files. But need to run only one bash script
bash fluxion.sh
This command will start fluxion script and detects all that is required. If any package is missing install because for a successful attack you need all packages.
In the case of Kali Linux or parrot, you haven't do anything.
As you see in the screenshot you need to select your language. I am assuming that you know English so press 1.
In next step, it needs to scan your area you can select all channel or the specific channel. My router channel settings are set to auto So I will choose 1 for scanning all channels.
As you can see it will show you all networks available in your range when you see your target network close WIFI Monitor window.
On closing, it will show your networks in the terminal. In my case three networks available. You can select network using their ID I want to hack Maan network so I will choose 2.
In next window, you need to select attack option. Basically, it is how you create your own network. I will advise you to choose Hostapd which is also recommended by Fluxion and airbase-ng is buggy. Seriously it is.
Next step is about the location of handshake file. you can pass your own path but no need of it. Just press Enter. It will select automatically.
Hmm, you choose your path for handshake file but how you capture your handshake. There are two ways
- By pyrit
- aircrack-ng
You can choose anyone but Fluxion recommended pyrit So select by pressing 1
This is essential step how you want to capture handshake Do you want to disconnect all devices or a specific one.
I recommended one because it asks for the password everyone.
So everyone supposed it would be definitely by ISP.
Pressing one will disconnect all devices connected to the network.
It will open three terminals.
1.One is for capture handshake
2.Second is for disconnecting client so you can capture handshake without waiting for the client who joins the network.
3. Third is fluxion so you can stop other two terminals when handshake is captured
Hey, beginner how to read it carefully, When you see WPA handshake is captured like this screenshot. Immediately press 1 in your terminal. Deauthing devices from the network stop internet
It will stop other two windows and ask for the SSL certificate. GO ahead and select 1.
Next window about interface you have only one option web interface select it.
Selecting the SSL certificate it needs the language of password login page. Choose your language. I will select English.
When you select the language fluxion script will open 4 terminal.
On the other side, your victim who is using wifi will be redirected to page like this
Suppose user type wrong password but I told you it capture WPA handshake so it will detect the wrong password and show a warning to the user.
IF you victim used the correct password, then he can use the internet.
Here is how got password using aircrack-ng and close all other processes. So your victim can use the internet without any problem
How to secure your wifi network from Fluxion
Best way to secure your WiFi is reduce your WiFi signal. Believe me it is very powerful. If you want to know how to fully secure you WiFi all attacks Read this How to secure your WiFi password

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales got its first gameplay reveal during the recent PS5 event, and if you're sold on what you saw, then you can preorder the game now. It's coming to PS5 and PS4 on November 12, alongside the PS5 itself. And if you missed out on the first game, or just want a remastered version of it on your brand-spankin' new next-gen console, then you'll be happy to know that it's included with the Ultimate edition.
As the name suggest, the upcoming Spider-Man game follows the wall-crawling exploits of Miles Morales as he takes on the Tinkerer and their army of cyber-looking cronies. The gameplay demo we saw today showed some bad guys crashing Miles' mother's election rally, forcing him to suit up as Spidey and take them on. We also saw gameplay of Miles fighting off the baddies on a bridge and, soon after, saving a number of citizens from the falling debris. The $50 standard edition comes with the base Spider-Man: Miles Morales game.
As for its Ultimate edition, it costs $70 and is exclusive to the PS5. This is because it includes a PS5 remaster of the original Marvel's Spider-Man. Developer Insomniac says that players can expect to see "improved skin, eyes, hair, and facial animation" as well as ray-traced reflections, ambient shadows, and improved lighting–more pedestrians and vehicles are also said to be present in the remaster. And if you prefer performance over visuals, Spider-Man: Remastered has the same 60 FPS mode as the Miles Morales game. Insomniac also teased three new Spider-Man suits for the original game as well as new photo mode features and a trophies.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales standard edition
The standard edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales comes with the base game. It's available for both PS4 and PS5, and the PS4 version is eligible for a free next-gen upgrade if you decide to pick up the PS5 at a future date.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate edition
The Ultimate edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales is only available on the PS5 and comes with a voucher code for Spider-Man Remastered. This is an updated version of the original game that includes updated assets, several improvements, and the three DLC packs that make up the Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps arc.

Having received its Michelin star in 2016, Laurel Heights' well-regarded contemporary French restaurant Nico decided not to rest on its laurels or its heights. Husband-and-wife owners Chef Nicolas and Andrea Delaroque closed up last August a 3228 Sacramento St. with the intention of moving into the former Bocadillos space at 710 Montgomery St., near Jackson Square.
That time has nearly come, and Nico will reopen in early April, with a prix-fixe lunch from Tuesdays through Fridays (it's two courses for $32, three for $38) plus dinner on Saturday evenings. For that, options include a $62, four-course meal or a $75, six-course, "carte blanche" menu assembled that day to emphasize the restaurant's market-driven nature. Considering the caliber of this kitchen and the fact that Delaroque is a classically trained chef who worked at Manresa, that's a steal. Beyond dishes such as cauliflower "Grenobloise" with sabayon and roe, and suckling pig with cabbage and béarnaise, there will also be a bar menu with oysters, a wild mushroom waffle made with Atika cheese, and paté.
The majority of the front- and back-of-house staff is expected to rejoin, ensuring continuity for a restaurant that prized excellent service. Additionally, a liquor license means there are now classic and seasonally inspired cocktails, including a signature drink called Le Chat Noir.
That name is no accident, since Nico's new address happens to be a historical site. As a plaque embedded outside notes, it was the home of The Black Cat, a notorious bohemian/gay bar that opened as soon as the telegram arrived announcing the repeal of Prohibition and closed in 1963 after numerous raids and other run-ins with the law. Expect little of the danger but all of the thrill when this much-missed standard-bearer returns to the scene.

Do they smell like herbs?
Touchstone™ beads and pendants have organically-grown or wild-harvested
herbs thoroughly incorporated into the polymer clay. Once the clay is cured,
you will probably not be able to smell the herbs. Occasionally, body heat will
release a hint of the herbal fragrance, but it will certainly not overpower
Do the colors of the beads and pendants mean anything?
Yes. The colors, like the herbs, are selected for their sympathetic
metaphysical correspondence.
How do I wear my Touchstone™ jewelry?
Touchstone™ jewelry is intended to be touched! It is recommended that pieces
be worn against the skin. PLEASE NOTE: If you have an allergy to any ingredient
in a Touchstone™ recipe, we recommend you do NOT purchase that recipe. While
the herbs are thoroughly incorporated into the clay, there is no way to
guarantee your skin will not come in contact with an allergen. Please be aware
of this and use common sense when selecting your pieces.
My pendant is not the same color/size as the one my friend has –
why not?
Each pendant is individually handmade. They are generally made in small batches, and while every attempt is made at consistency, clay colors and pendant sizes may vary from batch to batch. Additionally, colors and sizes may change slightly over time in response to the wearer's body chemistry.
Can I wear more than one at a time?
Yes, but be sensible about it. Wearing a Restful Sleep pendant with an
Energy pendant is likely to be counterproductive. Wearing more than one of the
same pendant probably won't have much additional effect either.
Are the cords leather?
No. I use cotton, hemp, nylon or rayon cording. In general, I don't use
animal products in my work unless I "upcycle" them out of something else (for
example, I've occasionally found vintage multi-strand necklaces of bone beads
in thrift stores, and I have re-used those beads in some pieces.) I do list my
materials in my product descriptions, so if there's some material you'd prefer
not to buy, you can make that choice easily.
Are the findings silver?
I use nickel-free, lead-free, hypoallergenic silver-plated beads and
findings. Some people are particularly sensitive to metals that are not
sterling silver or gold. If this is the case, sterling findings are available
for an additional cost.
Can I wear them in the shower/bath/while swimming?
Yes. The pendants and beads themselves are quite durable and won't be affected by water. Excessive chlorine may lighten the color of your beads and pendants some but it will not remove the color, just as long-term wear may darken the color. HOWEVER: the cords
may be affected adversely over time. The cords will be affected by normal wear and tear,
but water and chemicals will hasten that process. This is expected. Note that I will
replace cords free of charge for as long as you own the pendants.
How do I store/care for my Touchstone™ jewelry?
Touchstone™ jewelry can be stored however you store the rest of your jewelry
– in a jewelry box, hanging on a rack, etc. It can be difficult to tell the
difference between Touchstone™ recipes by sight alone, though, so each piece is
accompanied by an identifying tag and packaged in a small organza bag. You may
wish to hang on to those to keep your Touchstone™ pieces organized. Pieces can
be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use any cleaners or solvents. Cords
are cotton, rayon, nylon or hemp and may absorb and retain odors from perfumes,
hair products, soaps or skin oils. You can rinse the cords in warm water,
squeeze out excess moisture and air-dry if necessary.

Teaching the client
<![CDATA[I view a large portion of my job as an interior designer to be that of educator. I've never been one to tell people what to do without explaining why they're doing it. It probably stems from my own need to understand why I am supposed to do something rather than just doing it because I was told to. I'm sure I drove my parents crazy through the years. I often remember my mother telling me I wore her out with all of my questions.
I let clients know things like:
- odd numbers are more interesting than evens
- light affects color more than anything else
- Da Vinci's rule of thirds applies to everything in design
I don't typically think about the sharing of this information until I have a client that I've been working with for a while repeat it back to me. They always point out that they learned it from me. "See, I was listening to you!" It secretly fills my heart with joy because I realize that I am impacting people in a long term, non-superficial way.
I was thinking about some of the other tips I pass along randomly throughout my days and decided to share a few more with you here.
Bookshelves – How to organize
If there is one question that I get the most, it will would be how to organize bookshelves. For some, bookshelves take up a lot of real estate in a living room and getting it to feel "right" doesn't come intuitively.
Height of books – While this one seems pretty obvious there is something in us, most likely memories of our elementary school librarian teaching us about the Dewey Decimal System, that overlooks it. Look at your bookshelves and you'll most likely notice slight visual disarray. (You could also blame your children or spouse for this. I won't call you out.) By arranging from tallest to shortest it creates a consistent line and is visually more calming.
Line up the spines – This goes along with organizing by height. Pull all of your book spines to the same place on the bookshelf as the deepest book. This will create a clean line along the front edge of the bookcase. Another calming affect – and who couldn't use more calm in their life?
By Color – This one is a little out there for most people. Visually it is exciting, however, people worry they can't find the book they are looking for which tends to keep them from considering this option. All of the people I know who do this are very visual people and tend to remember the way a book looks more than the title. If this applies to you, try it.
You spend a lot of time here, even if you don't cook a lot. There are basic functionality reasons why certain things work better than others, and in the kitchen, efficiency is top priority.
Kitchen Triangle – We're talking about your major appliances here. Sink, refrigerator and range/oven/stove. Appliances like your microwave or coffee maker don't fall into this category. If you hate your kitchen as it is right now this could be the reason it doesn't work. Are the appliances too close so there isn't ease of movement between them? Are they too far apart so you find that you're carrying pots a long way from the sink to the stovetop? Think about the "triangle" in your kitchen. It's most likely the place to start thinking about a redo.
Landing Spaces – This goes along with the triangle. Think about how you use you're kitchen. Is there counter space close to the refrigerator to set food on as you load or unload for cooking? Where do you rest hot dishes that come from the oven?
Microwave Placement – Microwaves don't always need to sit on the counter or hang on the wall above the stove. What?! Yeah, they can become part of a bank of ovens. You could get a convection/microwave combo. Or, you can place the microwave under the counter in a cabinet. They even have microwave drawers.
Think outside the box on these.
Dishwasher Placement – Typically dishwashers are placed on the left side of the sink for right handed homeowners and on the right side for left handed homeowners. Think about it – you hold the dish in your non-dominate hand to scrape it into the sink and then you turn your body to that same side in order to place it in the dishwasher. Go ahead. Try it now. I'll wait. See how much easier and more natural that is?
Finish Color – Make sure when looking at a color, no matter what finish (paint, fabric, wood, tile, etc.) you view it on the plain in which it will live. If it is on the wall hold it vertically, the floor – horizontally facing up, or the ceiling – horizontally facing down. Think back to the comment about how light affects color and this will make sense to you.
Wall Color – Leave paint samples out as the lighting changes throughout the day. The light changes throughout the day and into the evening so your walls will look different. Make sure that you like the color in all of its states.
