21% of likely New Jersey voters believe Barack Obama wasn't born in
the United States (16% undecided). 8% believe he's the Antichrist (13%
undecided). At least we know New Jersey voters are fair and balanced,
if slightly unhinged, given that: 19% believe George W. Bush had
advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks (11% undecided). (Davis Emery)
Germany will set up an 11 mile hiking trail just for nudists. How does
a naked hiker transport his trail mix? In his left hand he carries his
berries. In his right hand he holds his nuts. (Alan Ray)
Brad Lidge has got to be a shoo-in for the Fire Marshall Bill Award.
Talk about doing a 180. A year ago, Brad was the best reliever in
baseball. This year he's the asbestos reliever in baseball. (Dan Daly)
Cleveland Cavalier Delonte West was arrested last week for possessing
two handguns and a shotgun while riding a motorcycle. He was working

"There are new security alerts issued to law enforcement agencies all
across the country, because Al Qaeda is planning to attack vital
economic centers. Well, good luck trying to find one of those.
Luckily, Wall Street took care of them about a year ago, so we are
safe." (Jay Leno)
In England, the beam that supports the roof over William Shakespeare's
grave is rotting, and will cost $80,000 to repair. There is talk of
removing it all together; to beam, or not to beam, that is the
question! (Jerry Perisho)
Hey, more problems for Democratic sleazeball, John Edwards. The
campaign official who claims he fathered the child of Edwards'
mistress is writing a book where he says Edwards is the real father.
So, looks like U. S.C. wasn't the only one playing with bad Trojans.
(Jay Leno)
The president has already made it clear, there'll be no "sin tax" on
food on his watch. And at a time when it's important to set new
standards for personal responsibility, he appointed a surgeon general
who is -- I'm sorry -- fat. Certainly too heavy to be a surgeon
general. You know, it's a role model thing. It would be like
appointing a Secretary of the Treasury who didn't pay his taxes. Oh,
he did? He did. My bad. (Bill Maher)
According to a front page story in the "LA Times", the CIA is
deploying teams of spies, analysts, and paramilitary operatives to
Afghanistan as part of a broad intelligence search. They said this
should catch the Taliban by surprise, unless they happen to see the
front page of the "LA Times". (Jay Leno)
Researchers off the coast of California discovered a new species of
ghost shark whose males have a sexual organ on their foreheads. It
gives new meaning to the term "dick head". (Jimmy Fallon)
Pete Carroll's Trojans are knocked out of the BCS championship by
their annual loss to a mediocre-at-best Pac 10 team. If Pete Carroll
were president during the Cold War, I wouldn't have worried about the
Soviet Union – I'd have worried about Liechtenstein. (Bill Littlejohn)
Cher's child, Chaz Bono, will release a memoir in 2011 about his
decision to transition from a female to a male. The female characters

developed. (Jerry Perisho)

electronic ankle bracelet. (Andy Borowitz)

Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi-duck, this moron, was at the U.N. today.
He talked forever. He talked on Israel and the swine flu and the JFK
assassination. He talked so long, even Joe Biden went, "Enough! "Where
was Kanye West to grab the microphone away? (Jay Leno)
Libyan leader Moammar Gaddhafi addressed the United Nations General
Assembly Wednesday morning for 90 minutes. It was a rambling, confused
and disjointed; Joe Biden called it "Brilliant". (Jerry Perisho)
In his first U.N. appearance, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi spoke for
more than an hour in a speech that sounded at times incoherent and
accusatory. Apparently, he hired one of Sarah Palin's speech writers.
(Pedro Bartes)
Libya's President Muammar Qaddafi gave a lengthy tirade to the U. N.
General Assembly today. He was supposed to talk for 15 minutes but
went on a 90-minute rant instead. I mean, where is Kanye when you need
him? (Jay Leno)
In Qadaffi's rant yesterday, Qaddafi referred to President Obama as
his son. Then he went on to describe Joe Biden as his weird, talkative
cousin. (Jimmy Fallon)
Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi also spoke at the U. N. Very exciting.
This guy, for some reason, is getting very popular. As a matter of
fact, this weekend, he's going to be the musical guest on "Saturday
Night Live." (David Letterman)
An escaped mental patient broke into the United Nations, getting all
the way to the General Assembly and delivering a ninety-minute speech.
A day after the stunning security breach, U.N. officials were still
attempting to sort out how it was allowed to happen. (Andy Borowitz)
And then the Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave a hate speech
and I thought to myself, where's that 'you lie' guy when you need
him?" (David Letterman)
Leaders from Canada walked out of Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad's speech at the U. N. Wednesday. Not only did they avoid a
terrible speech, but they got to see the televised finals of the big
ice fishing championships outside Moose Jaw. (Jerry Perisho)
And then they had the madman hour yesterday afternoon. And it was
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and he gave a speech to the U. N. He said he hated
the US, said he hated Israel, and he hated that dumb pedestrian mall
on Broadway. But Ahmadinejad did say if Iran is given access to
uranium, he promises not to make weapons. And I said, "Well, that's
good enough for me." (David Letterman)
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at the U. N. Wednesday.
Where's Joe Wilson when we need him? (Will Durst)
Did you hear President Obama's speech about nuclear proliferation? It
was impressive. It's nice to have a president who can pronounce
nuclear, isn't it? (David Letterman)
During his speech to the UN, President Obama said it was time to usher
in a new era of responsibility for the United Nations. It's not clear
if he was talking about stopping nuclear proliferation or getting all
the delegates to pay their outstanding parking tickets. (Jake Novak)
President Obama made a big speech. He welcomed the members of the U.
N. General Assembly to New York, and he said, "I'd like to encourage
you to do some shopping while you're here." I think it worked because
China immediately bought eight banks, two car companies, and the state
of Wyoming. (Conan O'Brien)
And you know the big surprise, Osama bin Laden was supposed to address
the U. N. but he dropped out at the last minute because of mercury
poisoning. (David Letterman)
President Obama was on six different TV shows pitching his healthcare
plan over the last couple of days. You know the difference between
Obama and the ShamWow guy? You can see the ShamWow guy on Fox. (Jay
Today's the first day of autumn, although Sarah Palin said today the
dying leaves are because of Obama's health-care plan. (Jay Leno)
Democratic Senator Max Baucus has introduced his healthcare plan which
makes it mandatory for everyone to get health insurance. They would
fine people who didn't get it, and if you don't pay the fine, you
could go to jail. The good news is, once you're in jail -- free
healthcare! (Jay Leno)
GOP Congressman John Boehner has declared health care reform dead. He
urged everybody to work on legislation that everybody can agree on. By
the time health care reform is finished being amended by Congress,
it'll be a missile defense system in Poland. (Argus Hamilton)
Barack Obama has been working hard to push his healthcare proposal.
Obama still wants the bill to be bipartisan, but he's a realist, and
given the near unanimous Republican opposition he's facing, now says
he'd be satisfied if the bill was just bicurious. (Jimmy Kimmel)
Democratic strategists want President Obama to stop comparing his
health insurance plan to car insurance. Specifically, they want him to
stop ending his speeches with "15 minutes can save you 15 percent or
more …" (Todd Long)
In his first eight months in office, President Obama has made four
times as many TV appearances as President Bush. Experts say if Obama
continues at this rate, next week he will eclipse Regis. (Jay Leno)
The Obama administration's national security team hopes to send an
alternative strategy for the war in Afghanistan to the president in
three weeks. The strategy centers on sending Vice President Joe Biden
over there and boring the enemy to death. (Jerry Perisho)
There's a new book out about Barack and Michelle Obama's marriage. And
in it, they say that Michelle Obama was very upset by all these
drooling blonds who would push up to her husband and rub themselves up
against him. They said this. One blonde was especially suggestive and
kept rubbing up against the President. And finally, Michelle said,
"Look, Chris Matthews, get away from my husband." (Jay Leno)
Did you catch President Obama on Letterman Monday night? Dave was very
honored. Barack asked him to be on one of his death panels. (Bill
Today, President Obama met with Japanese Prime Minister Yukio
Hatoyama, or as President Bush called him, "Mr. Miyagi." The Japanese
prime minister wanted to thank Obama for all of the money that Japan
got from the "Cash for Clunkers" program. (Jay Leno)
Our new surgeon general, Regina Benjamin, had previously been a
nutritional advisor to Burger King. Which sells something called an
"Angry Whopper Triple" that has 1,300 calories and 91 grams of fat.
The only advice a health expert should give Burger King is to stop
selling food. You know, when you have a surgeon general who comes from
Burger King, it's a message to lobbyists. And that message is: "Have
it your way." (Bill Maher)
"Thank you, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, for saying that the
recession is most likely over. Nothing puts me at ease and restores my
confidence like a nice, firm most likely." (Jimmy Fallon)
This week, Chrysler announced it's replacing its owners' manuals with
a DVD. In a related story, most Americans have replaced their Chrysler
with a Toyota. (Conan O'Brien)
Bullet makers in the U.S. are having trouble making enough ammunition
to keep up with the demand. But now that Plaxico Burress is locked up,
things should change a bit. (Pedro Bartes)
Republican Congressman Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan is trying to
rally support for a bill to provide a $3,500 tax deduction for
Americans who pay for their pets' health care. The people of Michigan
thank you for your support, McCotter thanks you for your support, and
the 112 uninsured feral cats McCotter has locked up in his bedroom
thank you for your support. (Jerry Perisho)
ACORN was defunded by Congress last week when ACORN staffers got taped
telling two undercover journalists posing as a hooker and a pimp how
to scam the government. They didn't stop there. The two undercover
journalists went to the U.S. Capitol posing as a pimp and a hooker,
and the Capitol police directed them to the lobbyists' entrance.
(Argus Hamilton)
Former President Clinton says he has changed his mind, and now
supports gay marriage. Of course, Bill has a history of changing his
mind on marriage – starting with that "forsaking all others" stuff.
(Janice Hough)
According to a new book that's coming out, former President Bush
secretly supports gay marriage. Bush said, "If Bert and Ernie can make
it work, anyone can." (Conan O'Brien)
A new study shows that California has the dirtiest tap water in the
country. California officials insist that the dirty water is fine as
long as you chew it thoroughly. (Conan O'Brien)
New census results reveal Oklahoma has the highest rate of people who
have been married three times or more. Some of those unions are even
outside the immediate family. (Jerry Perisho)
And according to the latest rumors, the former CEO of eBay, Meg
Whitman, about to announce she is running for governor of California.
See, that shows you how bad the economy is getting here in California.
Now we're just another piece of crap on eBay. (Jay Leno)
Former eBay C. E.O. Meg Whitman is set to announce her run for
California governor. She runs the risk of losing her election bid, or
she may just Buy It Now for $42 billion. (Brad Roth)
Well, the Los Angeles City Council has passed a new law that limits
people in Los Angeles to one rooster per household. That's what I love
about this town. You can have 50 illegal immigrants in the House, just
one rooster. (Jay Leno)
Baristas at a drive-thru coffee shop in Everett, Washington, have been
charged with prostitution after police discovered they would expose
their entire body and sometimes even go further for extra money.
Apparently, the baristas were advised about this business opportunity
by ACORN. (Pedro Bartes)
During his appearance on "Larry King Live" Monday night, Bill Clinton
said "No one shows up ready to be president." The last guy left after
8 years and still wasn't ready to be president. (Jerry Perisho)
Speaking of President Bush, did you see him last night at the big
football game? It was the Giants and Cowboys down there in Texas. And
President Bush did the coin toss at the start of the game. Now here's
a bit of trivia. The coin that they used to start the game was the
same coin that the Supreme Court tossed that won Bush the election.
(David Letterman)
A former Bush speech writer said that the former president once said
that "If bull**** was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire." And
Bush's administration would have left a surplus instead of a deficit.
(Pedro Bartes)
Sarah Palin went to Hong Kong and gave a speech and people who heard
the speech said it was articulate, it was well-prepared, it was
compelling. And if it was that good I'm thinking it must have been
Tina Fey. (David Letterman)
In a speech to the Clinton Global Initiative yesterday, President
Obama thanked Bill Clinton for the extraordinary difference he has
made since leaving the White House. Clinton then stood up and thanked
President Obama for keeping Hillary so busy. (Jay Leno)
In a new book that's coming out, former President Bill Clinton said he
had an affair with Monica Lewinsky because he, quote, "cracked under
pressure." When asked what he's doing this weekend, Clinton replied,
"Cracking under pressure." (Conan O'Brien)
There's a new book coming out about former President Clinton. And it
claims that when Boris Yeltsin was visiting, Yeltsin got drunk and was
found wandering Pennsylvania Avenue in his underwear looking for
pizza. The book also claims that when Clinton wanders around in his
underwear, he's not looking for pizza. (Conan O'Brien)
This is all just speculation, you know. We don't know any of this
actually happened and we won't be certain that the baby belongs to
John Edwards until we see how the child's hair responds to blow
drying. (Jimmy Kimmel)
John Edwards was reported ready Saturday to admit he fathered his
mistress Rielle Hunter's baby girl. She was a campaign worker for him.
John Edwards always said that there are two Americas and to get more
votes he started a family in each of them. (Argus Hamilton)
It was so hot today, John Edwards promised his mistress he would marry
her on top of an igloo with Ice Cube playing. (Jay Leno)
I read this in Time magazine. Former presidential candidate Ralph
Nader said that President Obama was "weak, waffling and wavering." And
then Nader added: "I do not like him in a house. I do not like him
with a mouse." (Jay Leno)
Al Qaeda released a 106-minute Arabic language video Tuesday. In it,
Al Qaeda's second in command Ayman al-Zawahiri predicts the downfall
of America for choosing Taylor Swift instead of Beyonce's video during
the MTV video Awards. (Pedro Bartes)
NASA scientists say they believe there are billions of gallons of ice
beneath the lunar surface, and to prove it, they plan to crash a
rocket into the moon. And to make sure the rocket crashes, they're
hiring Billy Joel to fly it. (Frank King)
Mexican Independence Day was celebrated Wednesday a month after Mexico
legalized pot, heroin and cocaine for personal use. It would never
work here. The Medellin cartel would never fill out all the paperwork
necessary to become a Medicare provider. (Argus Hamilton)
President Obama has angered Eastern Europe after dropping the U. S.
missile defense system in the area over there; although President
Obama says he hasn't abandoned them. He says in the event they do get
hit by nuclear attack, they will be covered by his health-care plan.
So, that is nice. (Jay Leno)
I'm watching the news last night. They're talking about Afghanistan,
and they interview these Afghan farmers that are planting poppy seeds
- you know, where we get heroin from. Well, one of the farmers tells
the journalist he knows it's a dangerous drug, and it's bad, and it's
evil, but if he doesn't grow poppies, his family will starve to death.
I've got an idea. You're a farmer. Why don't you try growing some
food? (Jay Leno)
Driven by gale force a giant red dust cloud blanketed Queensland
state, blotting out such landmarks as the Sydney Opera House and the
Harbor Bridge. Meteorologists blamed loose topsoil resulting from the
drought being sucked airborne by the high winds. Mel Gibson blamed the
Jews. (Bob Mills)
A pharmaceutical company is developing a microchip to be implanted in
patients' shoulders that remind them to take their medication. That's
just what crazy people on drugs need, right, a voice talking to them
out of their shoulder? (Jimmy Fallon)
Researchers in the U.S. are testing a new topical cream for erectile
dysfunction that could become an alternative for men who can't
tolerate the drug in pill form. It's a combination of powdered Viagra
and Super Glue. It's called Ben Anything-But-Gay. (Jerry Perisho)
President Obama spoke at the U. N. climate change summit. And he
promised to get greenhouse gas emissions back to the level they were
at in 1990. And just to show you he's serious to get back to 1990,
Obama gave the whole speech dressed as Kid from Kid 'n Play. (Jay Leno)
Researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center who studied 38,000 head
trauma patients concluded that those who had a moderate amount of
alcohol in their systems were significantly less likely to die from
their injuries. In their usual quest to make safety job one, designers
at Volvo have come up with a steering post air bag that pours the
driver a martini while it's inflating. (Bob Mills)
A study suggests that children that are spanked end up with lower IQ's
that those who aren't. Maybe that's why former president Bush didn't
read much as a kid. He used to put the books in his pants to protect
his butt from his dad's constant spanking. (Pedro Bartes)
Brett Favre Vikings jerseys are the NFL's No. 1 seller. Unlike Favre's
retirement decisions, the jersey isn't reversible. (David Thomas)
The NBA plans to start the season with replacement referees. The
players association is against the idea. If the refs aren't
experienced, how will they know who never to call fouls on? (Janice

get married to Khloe Kardashian. That'll make the second time this
year he'll get a ring for keeping something away from Kobe Bryant. I
don't know though if she should take his last name. Khloe Odum sounds
like a medical condition. (Tim Hunter)

California at the end of September this year will not be the USC
Trojans. (Janice Hough)
Mariner Ichiro Suzuki is the best player whose name sounds like a car
dealership since Whitey Ford." (Reggie Hayes)
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West was arrested last Thursday when
D. C.-area police discovered a handgun in his pocket, another in his
pant leg and a shotgun in the guitar case on his back during a traffic
stop. Looks like he was ready to shoot a three. (Dwight Perry)
Cavs guard Delonte West was caught carrying a loaded shotgun in a
guitar case strapped to his back while riding his motorcycle. It
sounds like he's been playing the Charles Bronson edition of Guitar
Hero. (Dan Daly)
Common Sense Media said Friday NFL telecasts aren't fit for kids to
watch. Half the commercial breaks feature ads for alcohol, drugs or
pills for enhanced sexual performance. The idea is to teach children
that all their insecurities are treatable. (Argus Hamilton)
If Curt Schilling is elected to fill the seat previously held by
Edward Kennedy, the only thing he would bring to the U. S. Senate is a
big appitite. (Dustin Pedrosa)

another man. (Bill Maher)
Bruce Springsteen, U2, Stevie Wonder, Metallica and Aretha Franklin

relationship with her famous father, musician John Philips. So he's
the one guy in the world who would sleep with her. (Jake Novak)
According to a new survey, the state where men have the longest

the biggest dicks. (Pedro Bartes)
The BBC has proposed allowing commercials for condoms to be shown
before the current 9pm restriction, as long as long as they do not
appear in programs aimed at children under ten. The head of the
Catholic Church in England and Wales denounced existing condom ads as
demeaning to young people by showing "casual sex on the street
corner," instead of, say, more formal sex in the parish sanctuary
after mass. (Bob Mills)
At least nine out of 10 Americans, men and women alike, have had
premarital sex, says a new report. Ironically, that number is reversed
with people after marriage. (Pedro Bartes)

Discussion in 'Off Topic Discussion' started by 86WARD, Feb 23, 2015.
God Bless you and your family man
So far so good in FA...
O-Line addresses with a top FA - Larry Warford
Defense will be solid with Fairley coming back and Rankins looked solid when healthy. I think our talent at DT is the best in a very long time.
A.J. Klein COULD end up being solid at MLB, we shall see.. hate the Anthony is looking more like a bust. Maybe Mike Nolan can get him where he needs to be!!
But Cooks, at age 23, why are they wanting to trade this guy? It seems like he will become the type of talent that you just don't let go.. like a Antonio Brown or TY Hilton. If he really does end up getting traded they better get "the farm" or I'll be pretty upset BECAUSE we need a life after Peyton!
The Cooks trade just means the rich keep getting richer.
Love the Warford signing. Instant upgrade from Lelito and Kelemente. While Kline won't be a second coming of Kuechly, he knows the position and that is better than Anthony. Can't believe Anthony can't diagnose plays. Cooks didn't want to be here any more. He said that wasn't the case but when you complain after a big win, that shows he is a stats guy. Open guy get the ball in this system. Not sure if I am happy about the trade. I think that if they would have not been so open about wanting to trade him, even though Cooks agent did a lot of the leaking, the Saints could have gotten a better deal. The only thing good about the 32 pick is the 5th year option. The list of 32 picks succeeding is very small. And sending our high 4th for a compensatory 3rd is a head scratcher. Now, if we get Butler for a second or third then I would feel better about everything.
Man Butler is just another "pay me" homeboy. We trade one knucklehead for peanuts and then may sign another to a mega deal? Butler is the product of a very good defense in my opinion, I think he'd still be asked to cover the #2. But it's going to take top 5 salary to get him plus a draft pick... meh... who was that DB we got from PITT? As soon as he got his big payday he turned to crap.. Saints have had so many free agent bust it's not even funny. I say they avoid big money FA and then draft a couple QB's and develop them and trade their asses like NE does LOL
YES IT WAS A BULLSHIT TRADE - I'd never trade a 23 year old phenom to the best team in the NFL. It's just shooting yourself in the foot!
He's the best WR Brady has had since Randy Moss. Nice job, Saints...
agreed. he should've been traded to the eagles.
should have, to put it in Falcon terms, choked up the 1 round pick.
why not, we've traded y'all most of our all-pro talent so far... for like 5th round picks.
Separate names with a comma.

Basic Lan Network Design Using Cisco Packet Tracer Education Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Learning Outcomes are formal statements that articulate what students or learners are able to achieve after following set of instructions, and why they need to do it. It is a process that weighs the objective of doing something and the outcomes of doing that thing. To measure if the LOs have been met, students need to be assessed. Assessment gives the assessor the opportunity to understand how well students have learnt, and also to use the evidence for constant improvements (Baume 2009).
LOs, enables the selection of contents that are important for learners, develop instructional strategies to deliver these contents, design, develop and chose what instructional materials to use, build tests materials for assessing and evaluating learners and improve the teacher ability to deliver contents. Using actionable phrases (verbs) to know the why can lead to great learning outcomes formulation. For example, in order to locate background information and statistics of a phenomenon, a learner starts by identifying, consulting and evaluating reference books or journal articles related to the topic. To formulate the LOs in this case, the teacher starts with what students need to know? And why they need to know it (Pek 2002).
This introductory section of LOs, form the preamble for what LOs should be and how they should be formulate for quality teaching.
LO1 Using effective teaching methods and support of learning
With my experience of delivering lectures at the university, colleges in London, being an IT trainer, I have used a wide range of teaching methods over the years. Depending on the environment and the LOs, in this section I intend to elaborate on some of the methods that I have used in the past, advantages and disadvantages of the different teaching methods used.
The process of determining LOs starts with the selection of a teaching method (TM), lecturing, small group and class discussions, videotapes, webcast and one-to-one discussion are common examples of TM. In my experience, there is no cut and dry method, in most cases a combination of strategies works well. In line with Gibbs (Gibbs & Habeshaw 1993) due consideration should be given to the following when selecting a TM:
The subject matter, i.e. what is it about?
How knowledgeable the learners are to the subject
What need to be achieved (learning objectives)
What is the available time frame to meet the learning objectives
How many learners are involved or the size of the group
Are the participants the right people for the subject?
Learning styles of participants
Available equipment
The room layout
The cost
Different students learn better in different ways, for example, international students in my class in London prefer visual information while home students prefer verbal inputs. My class is not unique, Glauco reported the same phenomenon in his work on learning style in the multicultural classroom (Vita 2001). This phenomenon can be attributed to cultural differences which play an important role in individual learning style. Additionally, different subjects and topics are easier to understand when taught in different ways. I deploy an interactive strategy with adult students undertaking Cisco Networks training program, this permit discussions, interactions, participation and exchange of viewpoints because of the subjective type and the learning environment which require interactivity between students, the trainer and hardware equipment (experiential learning). Contrasting this with a lecture hall at the university with over 80 students, I deploy a power point presentation with explanations, pauses, questions and answers because of the class size, the time frame (1 hour) and the subject type which has a no student-hardware interactions(cognitive and constructive learning).
In light of selecting teaching method, I have always select suitable methods for the stated learning objectives and LOs.
The following sections highlight some of the methods I have used in the past and reasons behind their selection.
Lecture is widely accepted as the best teaching method for larger classes (Carpenter 2006), in computer science (e.g. computer networks), lectures are often followed by lab sessions where students individually work on materials through guided lab sheets. In most cases, the lectures are used to illustrate processes rather than analysis of contents. As a lecturer of computer network (CNET) modules at the university we follow this approach. Students attend an hour lecture which is then followed by a two hours lab session where they implement different network designs and architecture discussed in during lectures. By using both cognitive and constructive learning theories(Swan 2005), the learning objective of the module can be achieved.
Though a very useful method, based on my experience and research in this area (Griffiths & Oates 2003), lecturing strategy has the following advantages and disadvantages as summarise in the table 1.
Table : Advantages and disadvantages of lecture method
Lecture can be used in any classroom size. In a larger classroom, lecture is the only option.
It is teacher centred and do not take account of different students learning styles
In a conducive and well-presented lecture, students can be motivated to investigate more about a topic.
Reduces student participation as they become passive and less active with topics of less interest.
The teacher being at the centre of the lecture has total control over everything that happen in the class creating a "one-to-many" based communication which might be ideal for a large class size learning environment.
It is one way communication, student's ability to learn depends on notes taking and attentiveness. The teacher can only know if learning is taking place through questions and answers.
This learning method enables students to be actively involved in what they are supposed to be learning. In the computer science discipline (e.g. computer network) which I am involved, students are divided into groups of 3 each. The first 10 minutes of the lab session used to read and brainstorming possible implementation solutions by reflecting on the in-class lectures. This is important because students are given the chance to openly express their opinion about the lab, and what is deemed as possible implementation solution is agreed by the group with the guidance of the teaching.
Using discussion method and social learning theory (Bandura 1969), I am able to pull knowledge and ideas from different students. This is useful because in most cases students will have background information about the lab from lectures and should be able to evaluate and analyse different opinions. Students learn by being able to implement their own solutions to a lab scenario.
Though a useful method in the lab environment, from my teaching experience and research in discussion teaching methods (Welty 1989), table 2 summarize the advantages and disadvantages of using discussion method as a teaching method.
Table : Advantages and disadvantages of Discussion method
Students have the leverage to actively process information and ideas.
It is time consuming and unfocused if no clear direction is given to the students.
It is unique opportunity for students to share experiences and get involved in making decision on what best practices should be used to achieve the objective of the lab.
Students could be protective of their ideas and makes it difficult for the instructor to get others involved.
Being interactive, it open communication channels between teachers and students to feedback each other.
The size of the class must be restricted
This laboratory work approach of learning enable students to role play (i.e. experiential learning theory) concepts introduce in lectures (Fry et al. 2009) and (Kolb & Boyatzis 1999)
Introduction to new concepts, procedures and techniques, can be a bit daunting to students; I have used demonstration to complement in-class lectures at the university and in other colleges that I lecture. Demonstration sessions generally begin with an overview lab session, and the list of points the students need to focus on. Using this approach gives them an idea of what the objectives and the LOs are. This is followed by the session proper, where students are given the chance to perform the procedures just explained in the introduction session.
To ensure students are in line with the objectives, I spend the rest of the time observing what they are doing, offering suggestions and feedbacks.
Using demonstration as preliminary approach for students to practice some of the concepts learnt in lectures has proven to be a good method of teaching. In light with Brophy (Brophy 2000) and my experience in using demonstration teaching method, table 3 show some of the advantages and disadvantages of using demonstration as a learning method.
Table : Advantages and disadvantages of demonstration method
Active participation is critical to learning new skills, demonstration enable students to participate in learning.
This method does not work well in large class environment, in most cases, videotapes are shown in monitor, which takes away that interactiveness with students
Students interest peak up, as they can experience some of the concepts first hand by getting involved
It is time consuming to set demonstration sessions
In computer networks, demonstration is the only method of conveying complex theories.
Demonstration might not always go as planned, as things break down, takes a long time to set them up.
Teaching methods form the bases on how teaching has to be delivered, different environments, subject, topics and students may require different teaching methods. A combination of two or more teaching methods can be used in effective teaching. However, due consideration should be given to what learning theory can be used and the pros and the cons of individual teaching methods.
LO4: Designing, selecting, and using learning resources and ICT to develop an effective learning environment and learner support system.
An effective lesson depends on the materials used to deliver or teach it, for students to learn to their maximum potentials, teachers need to identify and create effective teaching materials. A teaching material could be any tool used to deliver or convey information and test student's understanding of a subject. Teaching materials includes videos, audio cassette, worksheets, websites and simulators. Designing and selecting teaching materials takes into account the educational goals of the students (Allwright 1981) and how the teacher want the students to absorb, process and retain information during learning (learning theories).
With experience of designing and selecting learning materials (e.g. simulators, websites, presentation slides, websites, hardware and software) for students undertaking courses in academic and professional environment, many factors including those in the literature(Commonwealth of Learning 2005) have influence my design and selection of different teaching materials (Cisco packet tracer, MS PowerPoint and Word) among which includes;
The objective: the design and selection of learning resources start by identifying what I want the students to know at the end of each lesson, this is known as the cognitive objective (Krathwohl 2002). For example, during the design and selection of learning resources (e.g. Cisco packet tracer, words documents and www.pritmas.com) for Cisco network first year students, the introductory materials are always in form of hand-out and references to useful internet websites. These materials set their expectations from day one and give students an overview the course. Additionally, the design and selection of learning resources also take into account what I want students to be able to do at the end of each lesson, also known as behavioural objectives (Kizlik 2002). Resources vary with learning objectives. For example, computer science students undertaking networking modules have different learning objectives from Cisco students undertaking Cisco Certification courses. However, achieving the objectives of the lesson is deeply incorporated into the design and selection of learning materials. By using tailored learning resources, my students have constantly show high level of interest in the subject.
Audience analysis: who are the learners, this comes into play when designing and selecting learning resources. Their race and ages are some key attributes that has to be taken into consideration. This attributes enable tailored delivery of learning objectives. In a multicultural or single culture classroom where students may or may not have different experiences, considering their background knowledge before making references to objects or places they are more familiar with can increase students understanding of a lessons. For instance, HND students undertaking computer hardware module in Cameroon and have never been to the UK have a quite a different type of environment compare to students in the UK taking the same module. With this disparity, the design and selection of materials for the two audiences is different. With experience of delivering the same module in both countries, examples or references used to relate learning objective is different.
Different students have different learning style and will learn more effectively when their learning style is used to convey information. As shown in (Vita 2001) foreign students turn to prefer visual learning while home students prefer auditory learning style, having an inventory of what learning style students prefer is important in learning material (e.g. head on projectors and audio clips) design and selection. In a multicultural classroom, it could be daunting to design or select learning materials that will appeal to all the students. To overcome this, I have constantly deployed audio and visual learning materials interchangeably during lectures and practical lessons to ensure no particular group is at the disadvantage.
Designing and selecting materials is one thing, how they will be delivered to students is something different. Methods of delivering learning resources include image projection using LCD projector, hand-out copies, website based delivering methods. My methods of contents delivering are largely influenced by students learning style which could be a function of culture as mentioned above.
Instructional technology has been at the forefront of my learning material design and selection, technology ease the process of creating and dissemination learning resources to students. However, technology could hinder students who are not familiar with the technology being used in learning (Lea et al. 2001). As an IT teacher, technology has enhanced my ability to engage students and enact different learning theories. For example, I have used personal website(Pritmas.com 2013) to distribute learning resources and support students queries.
Advances in instructional technologies inherently have a great impact on how lesson resources are design, selected and distributed. For effective design and selection of these resources, key factors such as learning objective, knowing who the students are, learning style, how these materials will be delivered and seeking to integrate technologies into the design and delivering of learning resources is important. However, technologies might be a disadvantaged for students who are not familiar with the technology in used. So teachers should work to overcome this hindrance by selecting appropriate learning theories i.e. how they want students to absorb, process and retain information during learning.
Response to reviewer's and feedbacks
In what ways did the review help? What new ideas do you plan to investigate? Part 3, is your opportunity to respond to the reviewer's feedback.
In the light of the feedback and discussion with your reviewer, which of your session intended learning outcomes listed in part 1 of the form do you feel were achieved by your learners? How do you know this? Were any met less well and why do you feel this was the case?
The following LOs were achieved:
Understand DNS concept
Explain the composition of an IP address and Domain name
Install configure a DNS server and client
Through quick assessment (in class question and answer, and the ability for students to implement the lab scenarios) and feedbacks from students, they now feel comfortable to implement and explain theories behind DNS and can now define an IP address and its function in communication
On reflection, based on the comments and feedback, explain how you plan to adopt or follow up on new ideas. In your second and third reviews please identify any commonalities between the feedbacks from the different observers. Which aspects will you investigate or find out more about? What will you do and why?
This process has been learning exercise, on reflection; I intend to adopt and use the objectives and LOs to structure my teaching, starting from session planning to delivering and assessment.
By using SMART objectives and identifying learner's needs, it is important to follow a pedagogic structure to ensure LOs are met. I now look forward to work on some of the issues raised during the teaching session. For example, my body language, encouraging students to take down notes and making sure students are actively participating in class or lab sessions.
Feedback on the review process
How useful has it been? Could the process be improved?
It has been an eye opener to get someone to review my teaching, and being able to review someone else's teaching.
I will suggest, more time be allocated to the exercise, two or more reviewers per session for cross referencing.
Reflections on the PREP Process
To be completed by the reviewer and sent to the their PGCAP600 tutor - this completes this part of the process.
Part 4, is the reviewers opportunity to reflect on the process of reviewing somebody else's teaching. What did you learn from conducting a teaching review? Did the process cause you to think about your own teaching differently? Have you developed any new ideas that you plan to investigate?
Has the process of review helped you understand your own teaching strengths and preferences? Has it caused you to think differently about your own methods, design, values etc? Has this helped to confirm or challenge any assumptions about what constitutes effective teaching? Did you gain a different perspective on teaching from a student perspective?
Yes, I found it really interesting to observe someone from another discipline teaching, for sure, the review process has reshaped my understanding of teaching and the structural approach that need to be followed to meet the learning outcomes. The process has also renewed my confident in teaching and my ability to impact other people's future.
Taking up the challenge to review a colleague from another discipline was nerve racking in the first place. Lorna's engagement with students, her ability to easily connect with them and deal with a difficult situation (fire alarm) just added to some of the things that I have learned from the process.
Have you generated any ideas about how you might like to develop your teaching?
Yes, as mentioned above, being able to watch someone deliver practical lessons and give feedbacks on how well she has done has been very helpful. I come out of this process with the following new ideas, which I think will enhance my teaching:
Seek to understand individual student's background
Be more open and accommodative
Being more knowledgeable in my subject area.
Making sure a lesson plans is in place in all Lessons.
Build a feedbacks process to improve and to know if learning is taking place
Application of different learning theories (per needs)
Feedback on the review process
How useful has it been? Could the process be improved?
I think it is definitely useful to observe others teaching, however my role as a lecturer and demonstrator allows me to design, select and deliver learning materials while also observing other academic members of staff teaching on a regular basis, the PREP exercise was not different. However, observing someone from another discipline demonstrate was unique and reminded me that teaching is about following pedagogic processes and I really value the opportunity to discuss the experience afterwards (i.e. as a reviewer and reviewee).
I will suggest, more time be allocated to this exercise (PREP), two or more reviewers per session for cross referencing
Teaching is a process of inducing learning to other people, how this process is accomplished and how it impacts both learner and the teaching defines effective teaching. By setting appropriate learning outcomes, defining the best methods to deliver and designing and selecting materials to achieve this outcomes can lead to effective teaching in higher education.

Basic LAN network design using Cisco Packet Tracer
The objective of today's lab is to design and describe a functional network using Cisco packet tracer simulator.
You are a network engineer. You were given a job by a company who is one of your most valued customers. You have to design a functional LAN for them that contains 2 groups of 5 pc's each connecting to 2 separate switches. Then the switches are connected to a router (R1) and R1 is connected to the ISP router (R2). So basically you have 2 rooms with 5 pc each and both of these rooms have a switch and they are connected to R1. There is a third room and in this one there is a web server running Server 2008 OS. Connect that one with a separate switch and then to the R1.
Using Cisco Packet Tracer (open cisco packet tracer by clicking start ƒ All programsƒ packet tracer on your PC). Design a functional network you will use to accomplish the customer's business needs. Save it (to save: on packet tracer, use file ƒ save as ƒ <give file name>.pktƒ location) we will need this later. An example with pc and servers can be found in the diagram below.

This invention relates to the control of pests, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for controlling and eliminating rodents, particularly rats, from a prescribed area. The most pertinent prior art U.S. Pat. Nos. are: 3,636,559, 2,922,999.
It has long been known that rodents, and particularly rats, are adversely affected by high frequency sound waves which are generally beyond the audible frequency spectrum of human beings and domestic animals. In particular, rodents are adversely affected by sound waves extending from 18 KHz. It has also been found that sound waves generated from square wave signals are even more irritating to rodents. It should be understood that square wave signals are defined to include what may be more aptly described as rectangular shaped periodic signals, as well as square shaped periodic signals. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult to generate waves which have square corners so that waves which are substantially square should also be considered as falling within the definition of square wave signals.
It has been discovered that rats which were trained to easily traverse a maze became disoriented and could not traverse the maze when subjected to ultrasonic sound waves. This phenomina occurred at sound levels of 2 to 5 db. A decrease in the reproduction rate of rats continuously exposed to ultrasonic sound waves has also been noted. It has been theorized that the ultrasonic sound waves are in nearly the same frequency range as the communication sounds made by the rats so that the ultrasonic sound waves disrupt their communications. As communication between the rats plays an important role in their reproduction ritual, a disruption of communication due to the generated ultrasonic sound waves results in reduction in the reproduction rate.
An ultrasonic sound wave of any frequency within the range of 18 to 30 KHz, at a sufficient intensity or loudness, will be extremely irritating to a rodent, causing the rodent to do almost anything, including on occasion self-destruction, to escape the sound; however, if the rodent does not escape from the area in which the ultrasonic sound wave is present, and is not destroyed, it will develop a deafness immunity to the sound wave which is known as the "slotted hearing syndrome". The rodent will lose this deafness immunity if generation of the ultrasonic sound wave is discontinued for a period of time so that the rodent will have to redevelop the deafness immunity upon resumption of the generation of the ultrasonic sound wave. The rodent's deafness immunity is confined to the particular frequency of ultrasonic sound wave to which it is subjected so that a slight variation of the frequency being generated, after immunity has developed, will again irritate the rodent.
Several different devices have been manufactured for controlling rodents. Although the manufacturers of these devices may not have been aware of the deafness immunity characteristic of rodents, they were aware of the fact that the generation of ultrasonic sound waves which vary in frequency and duration was far more irritating to rodents than the generation of an ultrasonic sound wave frequency. Consequently, the devices previously manufactured generated ultrasonic sound waves which varied in a number of ways in order to irritate the rodents. Certain devices produced ultrasonic sound waves which continuously varied in frequency from 20 KHz to 30 KHz then back to 20 KHz. Others varied the frequency as noted and also varied the intensity or amplitude of the sound waves generated. Still other devices interrupted the cyclically varying ultrasonic sound wave frequencies at varying interruption rates. None of these devices, however, recognized and utilized the facts that (a) rodents are most irritated by some particular frequencies within the ultrasonic frequency range and (b) that the variation over the ultrasonic frequency range of the sound waves produced need be for only a relatively short period of time in order to prevent the rodent from developing a deafness immunity. The recognition and utilization of these characteristics comprise the heart of this invention. The implementation of these characteristics via the method and apparatus described in this application results in the generation of ultrasonic sound waves which are most irritating and devastating to rodents.
In practicing this invention a method and apparatus for repelling rodents are provided. The apparatus includes a control signal device which is operative to develop a variable control signal for a first predetermined time period and a fixed control signal for a second predetermined time period. The apparatus also includes a square wave generation device which generates ultrasonic square waves within a particular range of frequencies. The generation device is coupled to the control device and operative in response to the variable control signal to vary the square waves generated over a first frequency range during the first predetermined time period. The generator is operative in response to the fixed control signal from the control signal device to maintain a predetermined square wave frequency for the second predetermined time period. A transducer is coupled to the square wave generator and is operative in response to the square wave signals coupled thereto to generate sound waves having the same frequency as the frequency of the square wave signals.
The method of the invention comprises the control of rodents by subjecting them to the signals of the type described, irrespective of how generated.
FIG. 1 is a partial schematic and partial block diagram of the apparatus of this invention; and
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the waveform at one point in the circuitry of FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 1, the signal generation apparatus of this invention is designated generally by the reference character 10. A voltage controlled oscillator 12 generates square wave signals. These square wave signals may be varied in frequency by a variation in amplitude of an applied control voltage at input 14. Capacitor 16 is the minimum frequency determining capacitor for voltage controlled oscillator 12. Capacitor 16 is selected such that with zero or a reference voltage applied at input 14, voltage controlled oscillator 12 will develop a square wave signal of approximately 18 to 22 KHz; and is prefereably selected to be at a frequency in the range between 20 and 22 KHz, the frequency which has been found most irritating to rodents.
A sweep generator 18 repetitively generates a varying amplitude voltage signal, which, in the preferred embodiment beings at approximately 0.5 volts and decreases to 0 voltage within approximately 20 milliseconds after initiation. This varying amplitude voltage is repeated at intervals of approximately 800 milliseconds as shown by the graph of FIG. 2. Capacitor 20, shown connected to sweep generator 18, is the timing capacitor for sweep generator 18 and its capacitance is selected to provide the 800 millisecond period between sweeps. The output of sweep generator 18 developed at 22 is coupled through potentiometer 24 to input 14 of voltage controlled oscillator 12.
Potentiometer 24 is adjusted to attenuate the maximum voltage coupled from output 22 of generator 18 to input 14 of voltage controlled oscillator 12. The maximum voltage coupled to input 14 will determine the maximum frequency developed by voltage controlled oscillator 12. In the preferred embodiment potentiometer 24 is adjusted such that voltage controlled oscillator 12 develops a maximum frequency of approximately 28 KHz.
The square wave signals developed by voltage controlled oscillator 12 are coupled from output terminal 26 through potentiometer 28 and DC blocking capacitor 30 to the input of amplifier 32. Potentiometer 28 provides an adjustable attenuation for the square wave signals coupled to amplifier 30 in order to provide a gain control for amplifier 30. In the preferred embodiment, potentiometer 28 is adjusted such that the signal coupled to amplifier 32 is approximately 0.7 volts. This will result in an output signal from amplifier 32 of approximately 20 volts rms. The amplified signals developed by amplifier 32 are coupled through matching and coupling capacitors 34 through 37 to transducers 38 through 41, respectively where the square wave signals are converted to sound waves. In the embodiment shown transducers 38 through 41 are speakers, for example, of the electrodynamic type. Each is capable of developing sound intensities in excess of 100 db in response to the 20 volt rms signal from amplifier 32. Applicant has found that rodents will be affected by sound waves of less than 5 db at a distance of 25 to 50 feet from a speaker. With four speakers each developing sound wave intensities of 103 db, a 10,000 square foot area can be covered, assuming there are a minimum number of barriers in that area. It should be understood, of course, that speakers of the electrostatic type could be utilized instead of the electrodynamic type, and that other types of transducers may also be utilized.
In operation, sweep generator 18 will develop a voltage at output 22 that sweeps from approximately 0.5 volts to 0 voltage in a first predetermined time period of approximately 20 milliseconds as shown by FIG. 2; then remains at 0 voltage for a second predetermined time period of approximately 780 milliseconds. At the end of the 780 millisecond period, the voltage at output 22 again increases to approximately 0.5 volts and the sweep begins so that the output of sweep generator 18 continuously alternates between varying over a first voltage range in a first predetermined time period of approximately 20 milliseconds, then maintaining a fixed voltage for a second predetermined time period of approximately 780 milliseconds.
The sweep voltage coupled from sweep generator 18 to voltage controlled oscillator 12 causes voltage controlled oscillator 12 to develop a square wave signal that varies from approximately 28 KHz to approximately 20 KHz in the approximately 20 millisecond period. The 0 volt signal developed by sweep generator 18 for the approximately 780 millisecond period following the approximately 20 millisecond sweep voltage will cause oscillator 12 to develop a square wave signal of approximately 20 KHz for that period. This technique of alternating between a square wave signal which varies from 28 KHz to 20 KHz in frequency for 20 milliseconds and a square wave signal of 20 KHz signal for 780 milliseconds will be cyclically repeated because of the cyclical repetition of the signals from sweep generator 18.
The square wave signals developed by oscillator 12 will be amplified by amplifier 32 and converted to ultrasonic sound waves by speakers 38 through 41 as previously noted, producing repetitive cycles of sound waves first varying from 28 KHz to 20 KHz for approximately 20 milliseconds then maintaining a constant frequency of approximately 20 milliseconds for approximately 780 milliseconds. The maintenance of a 20 KHz sound wave for approximately 780 milliseconds followed by a variation in frequency of the sound waves from 28 KHz to 20 KHz in a period of approximately 20 milliseconds, all at an intensity of approximately 100 db, maximizes the period during which the most irritating signal is transmitted to the rodent while also minimizing the period of varying ultrasonic sound wave frequency. This varying period is minimized but remains sufficient to prevent development of a deafness immunity to the sound waves.
It is to be understood that the method of maintaining one frequency for a first period of time then varying the frequency over a predetermined range in a second predetermined period of time as described above with regard to the specific apparatus is also contemplated as being within the scope of the invention. As can be seen, the apparatus described above for carrying out the method is only one of the many combinations which may be formed for carrying out this method and is exemplary of a more practical and simple version applicable to commercial apparatus. It would be relatively simple for persons skilled in the art to construct one of the combinations not specifically described so that such a construction should not be considered to depart from the scope of this application as defined in the appended claims.

Veteran coaches targeted - Denver Post - Bill Williamson
Thursday, January 27, 2005 - The Broncos' plan to find assistants with strong NFL coaching experience is unfolding as the team focuses on a trio of respected veterans. The Broncos are expected to hire former Green Bay defensive coordinator Bob Slowik as the secondary coach. The team interviewed Slowik this week, and there are strong indications he will officially accept an offer to join Mike Shanahan's staff. The two worked together at the University of Florida from 1980-82. Slowik was a candidate for Denver's defensive coordinator job before Ray Rhodes got the position. Slowik was interviewed this week after Denver talked to Cleveland secondary coach Chuck Pagano.
High risk, reward with pass rushers - Denver Post - Bill Williamson
Thursday, January 27, 2005 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin said he believes the most difficult player to find on his side of the ball is a pass rusher. Kiffin and the rest of the Bucs' coaching staff are getting an up-close look at the talent at the Senior Bowl as they prepare to coach the South team in Saturday's game. And he's keeping his eyes open. "You never know with these guys," Kiffin said. "It's one of the toughest positions to scout because of the gamble involved with pass rushers. The extra time is great and by the looks of it, there are going to be some players in this draft that will help teams." That's encouraging news for the Broncos.
Shanahan closer to rounding out staff - Rocky Mountain News - Jeff Legwold
January 27, 2005 - Broncos coach Mike Shanahan is closing in on filling two positions on the coaching staff, with Cleveland Browns assistant Andre Patterson and Green Bay Packers assistant Bob Slowik on the inside track for the defensive line and secondary positions. Shanahan has interviewed Patterson as a pass rush coach to replace Keith Millard. Patterson, 44, has been with the Browns the past two years and coached with the New England Patriots, Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys before going to the Browns.

The most recent Bellator fantasy MMA news from RotoWire.
Fantasy AnalysisMazzotta didn't do much wrong in the short fight, and even partially blocked the head kick that turned out his lights early in Round 1. Mazzotta had momentum (nine-fight win streak) and some MMA buzz heading into the contest, as his only loss had come at the hands of UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt, but he ran into a young prospect with lethal ability. The 29-year-old falls to 12-2 in professional MMA as a result of the loss.
Fantasy AnalysisMiddleton seemed to be doing a good job of defending the takedown against the cage, but made the classic mistake of trying to generate offense before making sure she was safe, resulting in the 28-year-old hitting the canvas. It is clear that Middleton worked on her armbar escapes, but her proximity to the cage left her unable to turn, allowing MacFarlane to get the tap. Middleton falls to 2-1 in professional MMA as a result of the loss.
Fantasy AnalysisMacFarlane showed off her ground wizardry once again, tripping Middleton against the cage and catching the armbar when she tried to turn away from mount. Middleton deserves credit for holding out for as long as she did, but MacFarlane eventually wrenched the arm underneath her far armpit to get the tap. The 27-year-old called for a title fight after the victory, and it's hard to argue with the sentiment, as she is now 6-0 in professional MMA, finishing three of her five Bellator wins by submission.
Fantasy AnalysisPitbull easily won the first round of the contest, keeping Straus at bay with high kicks and making him hesitant to engage. Round 2 saw the men engage in a scramble early, wherein Pitbull wrapped the neck and jumped guard. Straus' tap seemed a little quick, but Pitbull had positioned himself against the cage, making it difficult for his opponent to move. It has been a long road back for Pitbull after fracturing his fibula in a fight against Benson Henderson in August, but he was able to make a statement by ending his four-fight rivalry with Straus in impressive fashion. Pitbull improves to 26-4 in professional MMA with the victory, and is once again the featherweight champion.
Fantasy AnalysisStraus fought tooth-and-nail to take the title from Pitbull in November of 2015, but didn't seem to have the same sense of urgency in this fight, as he spent most of Round 1 searching for a big left hand. The second frame saw the two men get involved in an early scramble, which allowed Pitbull to wrap the neck and use the cage to jump guard and close the show. This was the fourth bout between these two fighters, and while all praise goes to Pitbull for the performance, the quick finish seems like an unsatisfying end to the rivalry. Strauss falls to 24-7 in professional MMA as a result of the loss.
Fantasy AnalysisQuinn consistently went to the single leg takedown in the fight, and while he was able to get Awad to the ground, he was less successful at establishing control, allowing his opponent to gain several dominant positions. Quinn has bounced around several different organizations throughout his career, but has had trouble establishing consistency. He is now 2-2 in his last four fights, and holds a 13-7-1 record in professional MMA.
Fantasy AnalysisAwad began the fight by trying to strike at distance, but was able to best Quinn in the grappling department, as the 30-year-old frequently lost position after taking the fight to the ground. Awad was clearly the fresher fighter in the latter half of the bout, allowing him to establish mount on two separate occasions and land powerful strikes. Awad had lost three of his last four fights coming into the contest, but notched his 20th professional MMA win as a result of the decision.
Fantasy AnalysisMazzotta came into this fight riding a nine-fight winning streak, but it didn't seem to matter much to McKee, who was able to send the 29-year-old to the canvas with a thud despite having the kick partially blocked. McKee was likely hunting for a finish after taking unanimous decisions in his last two fights, and was able to make a statement against a fighter whose only previous loss came at the hands of UFC Bantamweight Champion Cody Garbrandt in 2014. McKee moves to 8-0 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.
Fantasy AnalysisIshii had been on a three fight losing streak that included defeats at the hands of Muhammed Lawal and Rampage Jackson, but the 30-year-old was able to get back in the win column Sunday. He was in control for the entirety of the bout, but disappointingly was unable to secure a finish. Nonetheless, the win improves his professional record to 15-7.
Fantasy AnalysisThis was a tough task for Higo. Not only was he making his Bellator debut, but he also took the fight on relatively short notice. After failing to make weight, he became a pretty sizable underdog per the sportsbooks. However, he is a respectable bantamweight, and he showed that in this fight. Unfrotunately for him, Dantas is an extremely skilled striker. Higo tried to turn up the volume, but he simply struggled to land strikes throughout the bout. He can win fights in the Bellator bantamweight divison, but he will need to get his weight issues under control.
Fantasy AnalysisVery few fighters are able to control distance like Dantas. He is already a taller fighter for the bantamweight division, but his footwork and feints on the outside make him that much harder to land against. He also disguises his jabs and leg kicks extremely well, so he is able to land without allowing his opponents to counter. Higo was a game challenger, despite missing weight, but Dantas was one step ahead the entire time. The scorecard for Higo is totally unwarranted and possibly one of the worst cards of the year. Hopefully Dantas' original opponent for this card, Darrion Caldwell, is able to get healthy, because that level of wrestler would be a new stylistic challenger for the champion.
Fantasy AnalysisThis decision is a tough pill for Teixeira to swallow. He came out in the first round and landed some great shots. He dropped Weichel and continued to pour it on, but he could not score the finish. Teixeira continued to push the pace in the second round and simply outworked his opponent. Weichel came out looking for the finish in the third round, but Teixeira was able to survive. Unfortunately for Teixeira, two of the judges disagreed and gave the fight to Weichel. This is only Teixeira's second professional loss, but it would have been the biggest win of his career.
Fantasy AnalysisWeichel was very lucky to escape with the decision in this fight. He normally relies on his footwork and accuracy to carry him to decision victories. However, Teixeira turned up the volume and outworked Weichel for the first two rounds. The first round was all Teixeira as he hurt the German and came somewhat close to the finish. Weichel appeared to believe that he was behind in the third round and tried to make a late charge. The judges saw it differently and awarded Weichel the decision. Depending on the result of the upcoming title fight between Patricio Freire and Daniel Straus, "The Weasel" might earn another title shot.
Fantasy AnalysisHarper had a chance to win this fight in the first round. She scored an early takedown and went to work on the ground. From the mount, she securred an Americana and nearly finished it. She then transitioned to an armbar and a triangle choke, but she could not finish. Harper seemed to run out of gas to fuel her wrestling in the second round. Ovchynnikova took over with her striking and did a lot of damage. Harper failed to come out for the third round. She is still young in her career and did enough to earn another shot in Bellator.
Fantasy AnalysisOvchynnikova needed to survive some serious adversity in the first round before coming back to win. Harper scored an early takedown and moved to mount. The British fighter then attempted an Americana, armbar and triangle choke. However, Ovchynnikova was able to power out all of the attempts and stay in the fight. The takedowns got harder for Harper in the second round. At striking range, Ovchynnikova had the advantage. Her southpaw strike gave Harper a lot of trouble and bloodied her face. The Ukrainian also landed several harsh knees. The damage was enough to prevent Harper from coming out for Round 3. Ovchynnikova has been a favorite in all three of her Bellator fights, but this was the first time she really looked overly impressive and finished the fight. After the fight, she said that everyone wants to see her face Anastasia Yankova.
