**It is a free and open source network security tool for man-in-the-middle attacks on LAN. It can be used for computer network protocol analysis and security auditing. It runs on various Unix-like operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X, BSD and Solaris, and on Microsoft Windows. It is capable of intercepting traffic on a network segment, capturing passwords, and conducting active eavesdropping against a number of common protocols.
Ettercap was born as a sniffer for switched LAN (and obviously even "hubbed" ones), but during the development process it has gained more and more features that have changed it to a powerful and flexible tool for man-in-the-middle attacks. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones) and includes many features for network and host analysis (such as OS fingerprint).
It has two main sniffing options:
UNIFIED, this method sniffs all the packets that pass on the cable. You can choose to put or not the interface in promisc mode (-p option). The packet not directed to the host running ettercap will be forwarded automatically using layer 3 routing. So you can use a mitm attack launched from a different tool and let ettercap modify the packets and forward them for you.
The kernel ip_forwarding is always disabled by ettercap. This is done to prevent to forward a packet twice (one by ettercap and one by the kernel). This is an invasive behaviour on gateways. So we recommend you to use ettercap on the gateways ONLY with the UNOFFENSIVE MODE ENABLED. Since ettercap listens only on one network interface, launching it on the gateway in offensive mode will not allow packets to be rerouted back from the second interface.
BRIDGED, it uses two network interfaces and forward the traffic from one to the other while performing sniffing and content filtering. This sniffing method is totally stealthy since there is no way to find that someone is in the middle on the cable. You can look at this method as a mitm attack at layer 1. You will be in the middle of the cable between two entities. Don't use it on gateways or it will transform your gateway into a bridge. HINT: you can use the content filtering engine to drop packets that should not pass. This way ettercap will work as an inline IPS ;)
You can also perform man in the middle attacks while using the unified sniffing. You can choose the mitm attack that you prefer. The mitm attack module is independent from the sniffing and filtering process, so you can launch several attacks at the same time or use your own tool for the attack. The crucial point is that the packets have to arrive to ettercap with the correct mac address and a different ip address (only these packets will be forwarded).**
Open terminal and write following commands-
sudo apt-get install ettercap
sudo apt-get install ettercap-graphical
sudo ettercap -G
click the link given below and install

Kali Linux
The best way to work on etternet is by installing Kali Linux. Its the most advanced and versatile penetration testing distribution ever created. It already has ettercap in its applications.
Here are some steps that will show you how to sniff passwords (they are written assuming you are using kali linux):
- Go to Applications at the top left corner.
- Go to Kali Linux.
- Go to Sniffing/Spoofing and then on Network Sniffers.
- Click on Ettercap Graphical.
- Click on Sniff and then on Unified sniffing (shortcut Shift+U).
- Click on dropdown list symbol and select the network interface you are using.
- Click on Hosts and then on Scan for hosts (shortcut Ctrl+S).
- Go to Mitm and then on Arp poisoning.
- A dialog box will appear.
- Select Sniff remore connections and then on OK.
- Go to Hosts and then on Host List (shortcut H).
- Select the IP address of the computer you want to attack and then click on Add to Target (1 or 2).
- Go to Start and then on Start Sniffing (shortcut Ctrl+W).
- Wait for the person to type his ID and password on a site and you will get ID and password in decrypted mode.
Here, the website in which logs on to is of http type and not https which is secure and very difficult to break into.
Here is a little video which demonstrates the above steps. To go there click on this link

AnuG – Recognition Relationships in Urban Primary Schools
This research project "Recognition relationships in urban primary schools. A Binational comparative ethnographic investigation" focused on the relationships between teachers and pupils, and analysed them as relationships of recognition. The research dealt with two primary schools in Berlin and London.
Project Description
Through various qualitative data collection methods (observations, videography, group discussions, interviews, document analyses, analysis from feedback discussions), documentary methods reconstructed and enabled the analysis of practices of interaction and reflection – and thereby the implicit knowledge and patterns of orientation that informed them. Finally, the implicit and explicit norms of recognition that frame this implicit knowledge were analysed. The cultural comparison thereby aimed to analyse the meaning of institutional, historical, and mentalité-historical parameters of the formation of pedagogical relationships in schools.
The concluding integration of the results revealed both differing and/or divergent norms of recognition at schools in the context of different, country-specific contexts. It also shows the consequences of the context-specific, differing (and contradictory) norms of recognition for the vulnerability of pupils and teachers.
It was shown that the pedagogical practices in the Berlin school were strongly structured by a norm of individual attention to and recognition of pupils as "whole persons", as well as by norms of both care and support for the development of pupils' independence. Another relevant norm was the fair evaluation of pupils. The relationships between pedagogues and pupils, and also between the various professionals working at the school, were all oriented toward a norm of participatory togetherness.
In London, meanwhile, the pedagogical practices were strongly oriented toward a norm of ensuring that the school routine and instructional events were as disruption-free as possible. Lessons were oriented towards the form of focus on the curriculum material. The norm of risk awareness and preclusion of suspicion were highly relevant for pedagogical relationships. The norm of the cohesion of the school community as a pluralistic, egalitarian community provided a dominant contrast to the norm of individual attention.
A strong orientation towards control – particularly output-control – and the competitive structure of the English education system provide a central education-political background for the practices and norms reconstructed at the London school. This political context explains the dominance of the reconstructed norm of the emphasis on the disruption-free flow of the school routine, which in turn is connected with worry about resulting sanctions.
While the English system is often criticised precisely because its traditionally anchored ethos of "pastoral care" was sacrificed in the process of the above-mentioned educational policy developments, the results in fact indicate that "performativity" accompanied a depersonalisation and functionalisation of the original "pastoral care" model. The comparison of the pedagogical relationships at both schools further showed that the high importance of central instruments of evaluation in England had a disencumbering effect on the relationships between pupils and teachers as the latter exercised little power of evaluation. At the Berlin school, the norm of fair evaluation led to conflicts in the relationship between teachers and students and got in the way of the norm of participatory togetherness.
The question this project pursued with respect to the vulnerability of pupils and teachers showed that, in both schools, measures geared toward minimising the vulnerability of pupils (such as a class council or a "child protection policy") often resulted in contrary effects and produced new vulnerabilities.
The project was funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).

Pretty much anyone involved with higher education knows about Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). If you teach in the public middle or high school system, you know about state standards. In both cases, these are essentially descriptions of what students will either know or be able to do once they have finished a particular class. They can range from something related to content knowledge (Students will be able to recite Pi to 83 places) to a particular skill (Students will be able to add two pages of meaningless writing to a ten page paper without anyone being able to tell).
It's not difficult to make fun of SLOs, as they're often terribly specific and, despite the assertions to the contrary, almost impossible to truly measure. Even when we can measure them, we don't check in with students a year after the class to see if they can still recall the content knowledge they supposedly learned. And I've read enough papers from students I taught in a first-year writing class to see that, two years later, they've completely forgotten to use an actual thesis sentence, despite their having done so for every paper for my class (note that our SLOs don't measure students' ability to transfer knowledge/skills to different situations).
Thus, when I'm honest with myself and my students, I admit that I really only have two goals for my students, maybe three, depending on the class I'm teaching. Continue reading

I am never really any good with these things, I kind of feel like I am at a job interview. So let's see, what can I tell you about me and my little blog thingy? Ok well I am an avid reader and have been doing since I first learned how. About a year ago I became a part of the review world. I am in no way a professional and I pretty much do it for the fun of it. I have no rules and no guidelines for myself, well except for I always have to be completely honest. And you can tell by my reviews that I have posted so far that I have no problem at all with that. I add my personality to every review and I know things don't always make sense but I bet you laughed(hopefully). I usually stick to romance books but I have been know to pick up others if the cover and synopsis garb my attention. I currently help out on a couple blogs and reviews teams plus I am an occasionally guest reviewer on one.
To tell you about me well, I am a 30+ year old stay at home mom. I went completely blind about two years ago. But with a couple of eyes surgeries I now have complete vision back in one eye. I have a serious weakness for tattoos and I am currently proudly showing off 12 of my own. Yeahhhh, so that's it for now.
I was given this book for an honest review.
What can I really say about this book? Honestly I thought the story idea was great, the synopsis grabbed my attention. I really couldn't wait to grab this and start reading. But sadly that's where it all ended. Now the book as a whole was about a 3 star for me. There was really nothing about it that grabbed me and made me want to hold on, it just kind of all went downhill from the beginning for me.
The characters weren't all that bad really. First we have Stella, ok I am not going to lie and say that every time I red her name I wasn't screaming "STELLA" in my head.. I honestly couldn't strop myself from doing it and when the bartender did it, I busted out laughing. She was basically your everyday woman struggling to make it in this big ol world. She wasn't the typical long legged statuesque blonde cover model either. And trust me this girl had some serious self esteem issues. She even admitted to being obsessed with a coworker because he seemed like the perfect guy, hell she had already named their kids lol. I liked her in parts of the story but sometimes she annoyed me. Second we have Cambell, the typical tall dark and handsome egotistical millionaire. I liked him best when he was drunk. He seemed to show actual personality then. Other times he was kind of dull. Well he was quite adorable when he was being sweet closer there to the end. Eventually they got their act together and he stopped saying all the wrong things and they got their HEA. But please, please let me point out that if a man tells you that he loves you for the first time while that is going on, well continue on like you never even heard him because that is just so not romantic ladies and gentlemen lol.
Now this story idea was truly a great idea but the execution of it was just all wrong. The story was just so choppy in areas and just kind of seemed jammed together in some places. It kind of almost resembles a 5 year old's macaroni art. You know the idea was great but when it's all said and done the end result is somewhat a cute little mess. I really think that the best part of this story was the end and please, I don't mean because it was over either. I mean in the last few pages it almost seemed like the author relaxed and the story actually started to flow some, it wasn't as bumpy. And here we are left with somewhat flat characters, mediocre sex scenes, there were a few laugh out loud moments, a great story idea and not so great story telling, My opinion and my opinion alone has led me to my 3 star rating. But like I always say, just because this wasn't the book for me doesn't mean it may not end up on your best book ever list.
My song for this book is - Pink ~ You Make me Sick

Pennsylvania House Bill 262, introduced earlier this year by Representative Matt Baker of Tioga County, seeks to drastically expand regulations of "adult establishments" promulgated by Section 5501 et. seq. of Title 68 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. The media has characterized this bill as a "stripper registration" legislation, but it would actually do much more than create a stripper registry. In fact, it appears that the true purpose of the bill is to make it illegal for strip clubs to effectively operate, and thus, regulate them out of existence. Similar "trap laws" have been introduced in other states to impose a de facto ban on abortion, while not running afoul of Roe v. Wade by explicitly banning a constitutionally protected right.
Pennsylvania Bill Seeks to Regulate Strip Clubs out of Existence
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Strikes Down School Zone Mandatory Minimum
Earlier this week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declared Pennsylvania's school zone mandatory minimum sentence for drug offenses to be unconstitutional in the case of Commonwealth v. Hopkins. This affirmed an earlier Pennsylvania Superior Court decision in Commonwealth v. Bizzel, which had already declared the school zone mandatory minimum to be unconstitutional in 2014. The highly-criticized school zone mandatory created a two to four year mandatory minimum sentence for any drug felony occurring within 1,000 feet of the real property line of any school or university. In densely populated areas, or college towns like State College, entire communities were "school zones."

Fair Judicial Districts
It is interesting that the same coalition of Democratic activists and mainstream media types who have been fighting for so-called "fair" congressional districts have lined up in opposition to a true reform that would bring electoral balance to Pennsylvania's appellate courts.
Senate Republicans have advanced a plan that would change the state's current system of electing justices and judges of the state's supreme, superior and commonwealth courts to a by-district system. This would ensure all regions of the state have equal representation in the judicial branch of government.
At present all members of the three appellate courts hail from just 15 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. Given the low profile nature of such races, populous Allegheny County and Philadelphia send a disproportionate number of jurists to those benches.
The idea of establishing judicial districts, similar to congressional and state legislative districts has been floating around the capitol for some time. The concept is popular at the grassroots. A recent Keystone Business Climate Survey of the state's business owners and chief executive officers found 58% favor the by-district election of appellate court justices and judges.
It is disingenuous for those arguing that voters have somehow been shortchanged by the current method of drawing congressional and legislative district lines to suggest they would not be better represented if appellate court jurists likewise were selected to give voters equal representation.
The mystique that formerly surrounded the judicial branch as being fair and above the partisan squabbling that surrounds the legislative and executive branches has evaporated. Justices have resigned in scandal. Common Pleas Court judges have gone off to jail for taking kick-backs. Most recently the Supreme Court shed any pretense of non-partisanship by re-gerrymandering the state's congressional districts.
The issue of how redistricting is accomplished was raised here in Penn's Woods as part of an effort by national Democrats to change the congressional playing field. Unable to effectively compete for a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives they set about challenging districting maps in key states, including Pennsylvania.
Their plan has been highly successful. Democrats captured control of the state Supreme Court in 2015 after pouring millions of dollars – mostly from labor unions – into what are typically low profile races. The GOP was caught napping and partisan control of the high court flipped. Then, Democrat front groups like Fair Districts PA began agitating for early redistricting. Suits were filed, the Supreme Court ruled in their favor, re-gerrymandered the districts and new congressional maps were put into place.
The next step in their master plan is to change the redistricting process. For decades congressional redistricting was done by the state legislature, with the final product taking the form of a bill that must pass both houses and be signed into law by the governor. This is what occurred after the 2010 census – at the time with bi-partisan support and Supreme Court approval.
In response to this the state Senate has been considering a plan that would supposedly allow more citizen input into the process. It all sounds like mom and apple pie, except the goal of the so-called reformers is to capture control of the redistricting that will occur after the upcoming 2020 census.
With the GOP holding a two-thirds majority in the state Senate and an historic high majority in the state House it is clear which party would have the upper hand in the 2021 redistricting process if nothing changes. That doesn't fit the Democratic playbook, so the push for changing the process has gained steam.
That the effort is nothing more than naked partisanship was revealed when "reform" proponents ramped up opposition to a plan by GOP senators to put into effect the by-district election of appellate court justices and judges. Some see it as payback for the Supreme Court's re-gerrymandering of congressional districts – and it may be – but that doesn't change the fact it is a very good idea.
In recent months Pennsylvanians have witnessed the raw abuse of power by the judicial branch. That we should all have equal representation on the statewide courts is a matter of fairness. But fairness is not what the proponents of re-districting reform are seeking. They are seeking partisan advantage.
Regardless of how the battle over how district lines are drawn plays out, the effort to change from statewide to by-district election of appellate court justices and judges has merit. It is time all for Pennsylvanians to have equal representation in the judicial branch of state government.

(KUTV) Ted Ligety is more than an athlete. He's also a businessman.
Ligety has two companies, Shred Optics and Slytech Protection.
The companies are responsible for helmets, goggles and sunglasses as well as protective gear for skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking.
Both have been up and running since 2006--after Ligety's Olympic win.
Ligety enjoys the businesses just as much as skiing, because there is still a competitive element to it.
"Part of the company is trying to figure out ways to use my brain in a different way, but also ways to improve the equipment out there to make myself faster."

The Trump administration has sent a guided-missile destroyer near Triton Island in the South China Sea, according to a U.S. official, which may cause concern ahead of President Donald Trump's meeting with his Chinese counterpart this week.Story here.
The U.S. Navy sent the destroyer USS Stethem within 12 nautical miles (22 kilometers) of Triton Island on Sunday, said the official, who wasn't authorized to speak publicly. The warship was passing through those waters on the basis of innocent passage, the official said.
China, Taiwan and Vietnam all lay claim to Triton, a tiny speck that's one of the Paracel Islands in the waters between Vietnam and the Philippines. Operations such as this are typically planned at least weeks in advance, the official said.
Still, the sea patrol move could signal that the U.S. is displeased with China based on the extent of its efforts to pressure North Korea to curb its missile and nuclear programs. The White House has made several moves in recent weeks, including announcing economic sanctions against Chinese companies with ties to North Korea.
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs termed the operation "trespassing" and said Beijing had dispatched military vessels and planes in response. China is "dissatisfied with and opposed to the relevant behavior of the U.S. side," Lu Kang, a spokesperson for the foreign ministry, said in a statement on the government's website.
This is beyond interesting on a couple of levels. First many thought that a good meeting with the Chinese Prime Minister would make everything nice and that N. Korea would go back to the usual status quo of provocation, reaction, de-escalation and repeat. Trump long ago signaled that US strategic patience with N. Korea was over but unlike other occupants of the White House I think he means it (with all the risk it entails).
Next China is back in a hurt locker with regard to the US. Trump was willing to play nice with China if they delivered. They didn't and what do we see next? We see banks that laundry N. Korean funds being blacklisted and excluded from the US market and serious rumblings about severe tariffs on some of their products that they're dumping on our shores.
Now we see this. You don't send a guided missile destroyer off someone's coast unless you want to send a message.
China had their chance and they failed. N. Korea is back on the burner and you don't keep forces on trigger for shits and giggles.
N. Korea is far from over folks. Get the force of connection and accept that reality.

|PC CD Game - FORGOTTEN REALMS: DEMON STONE
Browse by Category
Release Date
24th September, 2004 (PS2)
11th February, 2005 (PC Xbox)
PC, PS2, Xbox
Demon Stone's intense, cinematic action is set entirely within the popular Dungeons & Dragons world of the Forgotten Realms. Familiar characters, such as the famous drow Drizzt Do'Urden and the legendary mage Khelban Blackstaff Arunsun; and terrifying monsters, including Dragons, Orcs, Slaadi, Yuan-Ti and Trolls; as well as geographical locations straight from the campaign setting will make appearances and serve as backdrops throughout the game.
The story of Demon Stone revolves around the adventuring party's unwitting intrusion into an age-old conflict between two warring demonic armies - one led by a Githyanki Princess and the other, a Slaad Lord. After inadvertently releasing both demons back upon the world after eons of imprisonment, it becomes the adventurers' quest to right their wrong and restore order to the world of Faerun.
Featuring a storyline developed by New York Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore, Demon Stone also features the talents of actors Patrick Stewart and Michael Clarke Duncan, who lend their voices to two prominent roles.
You direct a party of three characters - a Fighter, a Sorcerer and a Rogue - controlling one party member at a time and switching between them on the fly, while the other party members are controlled by the engine's sophisticated AI. For example, when you control the Fighter, the Sorcerer and Rogue will continue to engage in combat, cast spells and assist in defeating all challengers. In many situations, the characters will be able to divide and conquer difficult objectives - while the Fighter holds back a horde of Yuan-Ti snakemen with brute force, the Sorcerer supports him with devastating ranged magic, while the Rogue sneaks above and behind them for a coup de grace. You participate seamlessly in each critical moment as the characters are cinematically switched from one perspective to another.
Demon Stone utilizes an extensive fighting system which is both easy to learn and visually stunning. Characters perform amazing attacks and feats at the simple touch of a button, but the system has sophisticated features for advanced players who want to tailor their attacks to maximize their damage in specific situations. Unique special attacks, combinations, linked combos, super attacks and even group super attacks allow you to excel against the most fearsome foes.
In addition, Demon Stone allows you to upgrade your characters with a branching path of new feats and combos as they gain experience and levels. Each character will feature a number of unique abilities, such as the Fighter's combat skills and strength, the Rogue's stealth and lock-picking abilities and the Sorcerer's plethora of new spells. For example, when upgrading the Fighter, you might have the choice of upgrading his Strength, his Melee Skill or his Hand-to-Hand skill. Within those choices, there will be other dependencies, such as the requirement to earn Power Attack before Cleave can be acquired.
Developed by Stormfront Studios, creators of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers video game.
The Dungeons and Dragons license has been used to produce such best-selling games as Neverwinter Nights 2, Neverwinter Nights, Dragonshard, The Temple of Elemental Evil, the Icewind Dale series and the Baldur's Gate series.

I have wanted to make this one for some time and I am celebrating its completion with some fun free graphics so be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post.
The graphic's for the facade front and all the puppets are entirely from John Tenniel illustrations, who illustrated the Lewis Carrol books. There is one exception... I did use scans of the book spines too. The columns are taken from an illustration in "Threw The Looking Glass". I overlaid the column over the book spines from the image where Alice and the frog stand before the door that says "Queen Alice". The rest of the theater graphic's are from various images from both books. In the making of the puppets, I tried to stay true to the artist but did make some necessary line changes by combining two or more original images so that I could articulate them. The graphic's for this is available in my etsy store. This is a little larger than you would think. I saved the images to my camera disk (but you could use a flash drive) and took it to my local printer and had the theater facade printed on a large format printer 11 X 14. I did not enlarge the puppets, they are just printed on standard paper the size they come. I left them large in case you wanted to use them as paper dolls. If your going to make a smaller theater you will need to size them down 50 %
I used an old jewelry box found at my local thrift shop for the base. After cutting slots in the top for the puppets to dangle through, I covered it with scrapbooking papers and added some model railroad turf on the top.
I made wire wands to manipulate the puppets with (you can see them laying in front of the theater in the last of the theater photos) However since I wanted to display it like a diorama when it was not show time, I also made little stands for each puppet. The little tea table is available to print below!I have indented to do a tutorial on how I do the theaters and there puppets but life just keeps getting in the way and I still don't have it done.
Here is a quick synopsis of how I do it... I use spray glue to attach the graphics to a light weight matte board...like the gift boxes you would find at the dollar store. Then I cut them out and sand the edges with a emery board. I then use a marker or paint pen to color the edges of the cardboard ( I use a skin tone for the dolls but for the theater I would use a matching color ) ... angle the marker or pen from the back side so you do not accidentally mark the front of the image and color the edges. On the theater facade, I covered the backside with scrapbooking paper so that the edges that extended past the "theater box" would still look nice from the backside of the theater. I did the little table much the same only I spray glued it to a light weight tin. I just bought a large tin at the thrift shop and used the lid from it. Then I cut it out with kitchen shears and sanded the edges smooth with a metal fingernail file. This way it will support the weight of the tea set.
I had two copies of the facade printed on photo paper then laminated them to chip board. The I cut out elements from the second copy and glued them on top of the first layer. Like the frog and fish. This popped them out of the background and gave it a little dimension.
The little flower faces were made last year at an art retreat I went to with Artistic Souls. I knew I would use them someday :)) The tree was purchased at hobby lobby's floral department. Then I untwisted the bottom and re-twisted it to look like tree roots.
Now for the goodies! Below is the Tea Table I used ... be sure to click on the image for the larger printable version.
and that is not all!!! I am in a celebrating kinda mood so ....
Below is the link to a copy of some vintage tiny theaters. I just think everyone should make a paper theater ...even if it is a tiny one :))

Mr Burt said "Welcome to team one." They had to show us a little clip with dinosaurs. The movie ended and the teachers put up a sign to say dinosaurs still excised.
Mr Burt said "We are studying dino-might in term two so welcome team two." Team two was doing a rap to a little clip It was hilarious how they moved.
Mr Burt said "Give it up for team three ". Team three had a movie showing and at the same time the teachers were going around talking to kids and saying "have you found my bone" it was a bit crazy.
Finally Mr Burt said "Welcome to team four". Team four had to show us a movie but before the movie Mrs Nua came up and said "Hello Point England it would be good if some of you looked at the section in the library 560.
Now we got to watch the movie. The movie was set in the library. The teachers were reading dinosaur books and fell asleep, They went back to prehistoric times it was really interesting and amazing.
Finally it was the E-learning team they sang a song it was funny they even had dancers , the team two dancers.
It was end of assembly I felt excited and happy because it was cool.

Also spelled siphon: on western streams a device for sucking water from hulls and dumping it back in the river. The common variety of syphon is operated by steam: a jet of steam under high pressure is introduced at the top of a suction tube whose base is placed in the water to be removed. The steam creates a vacuum, lifting the water, and forcing it out a discharge pipe.

Yet another picture post - Chloe gonna be one !
Posted In: chloe . By Stephen Lee
How time flies, soon Chloe is going to be one. It's been a interesting year since Chloe came, how fast she has grown from 50cm to now 70 plus cm, from 3kg plus to 10kg.
From lying down most of the time to learning to walk.
From mostly crying to now saying papapapa mamamama mummummumum and of course still crying.
From being quite passive to being quite proactive, if you carry her she will point where she wants you to go.
From lying down and waving her hands to trying to dance, haha her favourite music is I'm your little butterfly! She will just dance to the music, bending her little knees and shaking.

How do you teach homophones? Why are they important? How can they help students improve their spelling strategies? Today I'm sharing what we've done in our class to anchor our learning about homophones.
Homophones are just as their name states: <homo> means "the same, equal or like" and <phone> means "voice, sound". Homophones are words that sound the same, BUT have different meanings, and therefore different spellings, and English is LOADED with them making it very important for students to know.
Most of you are familiar with the popular book Dear Deer by Gene Barretta; I used it to introduce our focused study of homophones.
What I actually like most about this book, and this is gonna sound weird, is that it's really not a "good" book. What I mean by that is that it's confusing for students upon its first read, and it's pretty boring as it has no elaboration. When students are listening to the book, they immediately start asking questions to clarify meaning, which is great!! Don't we want them to read for understanding most of all?? :)
Since many high-frequency words are homophones, I knew I wanted to have a "word wall" of homophones for my students to use as a spelling resource. I liked the idea of having a word wall that was tied to meaning rather than sound, prompting students to be more thoughtful when referring to it. I want them to ask themselves, "Which word do I need for my writing to make sense?" and to know why they chose the word that they did!
I wanted to include my students in making our homophone wall, so here are the very SIMPLE steps we followed:
- My students and I generated a list of homophones on the white board, discussing the words' meanings as we went. Defining a word without using the word itself is very hard for first graders; most of the time I asked them to use the word in a sentence.
- That afternoon I prepared a bunch of large notecards by cutting them in half in a variety of different patterns. Then I wrote the homophone pairs on the cards; on at the top of the top piece and the other at the bottom of the bottom piece. (There are also homophone trios, so I just cut those into thirds :)
- The next day as planned, I asked students to illustrate the words we had collected in ways that would show the meaning of the words, and they certainly delivered! I was actually a little surprised at how "into it" they were; they really wanted to make sure that their picture conveyed meaning!
- Knowing that we certainly had not listed all homophones, I asked my students, "Just how many are there???" 50? 100? Wanting to encourage them to look for more homophones, I made a small sign on which to record a running count. (The photo at the top of this post actually shows how many we had collected, 30, over about two weeks time. On that first day, we had around 10 or 12).
I think exploring homophones is very helpful for all learners because they illustrate an important fact about the English spelling system- its first concern is to convey meaning, so there are multiple ways to represent different phonemes and therefore distinguish between the meanings of words that sound the same.
In teaching reading and writing, I try to explain to my students that English is a flexible language, not one filled with "exceptions" or "rule-breakers". I encourage them to look for and recognize various grapheme/phoneme relationships when they read, and the more that they do, they begin to understand the elastic way in which English works. When it's time to write, I ask my students to draw upon that knowledge to help them spell more accurately. For example, I may ask, "What are some of the ways you could represent that sound?" This most often involves words with vowel digraphs- there are so many! Searching for homophones provides the perfect opportunity to investigate all the different graphemes that make the English language function.
So how do you teach homophones? Do you just how many there are??
Thanks for stopping by!

This week I've had a terrible time self-motivating and felt a dreadful claustrophobic dilemma because I have to do time-sensitive things but I can't function until I rest but I can't rest because I need to get stuff done. I was so excited for time last week and made plans with people and had to cancel them all because it would have been too much and I wouldn't have been able to be present and connect. I also felt sad because of last weekend's (that was just last weekend!?!!??) interaction with biofamily and the resulting crushing hopelessness (which has been mostly ameliorated as people I want to be tribe with have expressed their desire for that too) and also because Topaz and I hadn't had any focus time in probably a month, except for slight bits here and there.
this week has been hard/ I crave curiosity
Today I felt horrifically sad and couldn't find my way out of it, cried for three hours straight. I felt like Topaz wasn't curious about me (which is my primary way of feeling loved) and felt hopeless about it because I always get sad that people I am in love with are not curious about me and I feel like maybe it is something wrong with me that I feel so needy of that. If literally no one I've ever known cries and mourns a lack of being pried at, maybe its my problem. Why can't I just be happy with kindness and care and pets and loving words??? Why do I always want this and cry so fuckin hard over it? (Note: I do not want advice, these are rhetorical questions) Topaz pointed out that not only is curiosity pretty central to my being, but I have a lot of trauma over people not wanting to know me. My parents and my first partner (who I was with for 8 years and married to for 6 of those) did not want to know me. I would show them pieces of me and they would look away and act as though I hadn't shared (literally, in the case of showing my parents my art). So that's 5/6ths of my life, it does make sense that I would worry that people didn't want to know me.
Topaz reassured me that ze does want to know me and it took a long conversation but I was able to believe it (it is not usually so hard for me to believe when someone I trust tells me something). We talked a long time. I had been very worried about sharing my feelings because stress is a migraine trigger and Topaz has had to deal with so many of those in the past few weeks and I didn't want to maybe cause another. Topaz reassured me that ze was feeling up to a stressful talk, and ze's good at figuring out zir limits so we talked about it. Later Topaz said ze was glad we had that conversation, it was important and productive. That made me feel re-aligned with Topaz and valued.

Teachers have been back this week, and between training and meeting with teachers to discuss "whatever", it's been busy. Not really in a hectic way, because the director before (who is still here managing all of our campuses) has done an absolutely wonderful job laying the foundation. I'm very fortunate.
Something that a previous principal of mine instituted was weekly meetings with each teacher to touch base – basically get out ahead of problems before they became big issues and get ahead of the curve a bit. I've started that here and it's been well-received. Even on a small team, it's amazing the difference in personality, confidence, and preparedness among teachers.
A mentor of mine told me to just "be myself" as a principal. I tried to do that as a teacher, and I'm trying to do that now. So many people put on a face that matches their perception of their role, but it's off-putting. I try to use the same humor and personality that I would naturally use – perhaps limiting myself a little to avoid being overly familiar, but otherwise the same. It seems to be working well.
I also believe that we're not just one being at work and another being at home. Everything influences everything. If work is going horribly, home is going to suffer. If your personal life is in shambles, your work life will be affected, even if you have the best job in the world. I had the chance this week to just listen to someone who was having trouble with their marriage and kids, and just provide encouragement to continue to do the right thing. This person was very grateful and I was glad I could be there for them. I was curious how I was going to connect with this person due to not really having a lot in common, or so I thought, but we were able to get the relationship going just by some mutual understanding.
Two authors who have influenced me tremendously are Edward Hallowell, in particular in his book Shine. Liz Ryan writes about the Human Workplace – she publishes loads of articles that are useful to anyone in leadership.

Cookbook authors Joan Nathan and Julia Turshen joined the Washington Post Food staff to answer questions from readers. Here are edited excerpts from that chat.
Q: I bought a bag of shredded red cabbage to put on fish tacos. I made the tacos, but totally forgot about the cabbage until after dinner. Now I have a bag of unopened, nicely shredded red cabbage and I have no idea what to do with it.
A: Sounds like a good excuse to make more fish tacos! You can also make a lovely, easy slaw. I also love tossing shredded cabbage with olive oil and salt and then roasting it at 425 degrees until it's wilted and charred and serving it as a side dish, or folding it into an easy rice pilaf.

Q: There are so many spring and summer recipes I want to try, but everything calls for pesto. I don't remember what pesto even taste like because I'm allergic to the nuts used in it. What is a good substitute for pesto?
A: Can I suggest that you make a pesto using pumpkin seeds (a.k.a. pepitas) instead of nuts? You can make a simple one-to-one swap in whatever pesto recipe you come across. Pesto is one of those versatile, adaptable, swap-able recipes!
Kara Elder
Q: I found whole nutmegs while cleaning my spice drawer, They look fine, but I know they've been around for four years, or maybe longer. Should I toss them?
A: Four years is about the max, assuming they've been stored without exposure to extremes of heat. Best way to tell would be to buy a whole nutmeg from a bulk bin setup, like at Whole Foods. Grate some of it, and grate some of yours. Compare the aroma of each; if it's the same, I'm thinking yours is still good to go.
Bonnie S. Benwick
Q: I am attempting to re-season my cast iron pans using organic virgin coconut oil. I wipe the inside with a light layer, put in a cold oven and leave in for one hour after the oven reaches 425 degrees. I then leave them until they are cool to the touch. The pans are coming out with sticky residue. What am I doing wrong?
A: Next time, try these tweaks: Be sure to rub the oil into the pan as much as you can, then wipe thoroughly after you distribute that light layer, so the pan looks practically dry. The temperature you're using seems high for an oil with a smoke point of 350, so reduce the oven heat to 325 degrees.
Q: I have to make a side dish or salad to go with the Thai entree our host is making for our supper club, and I'm thinking green papaya salad. I doubt that I can get a green papaya where I live, so I would appreciate any suggestions for a substitute.
A: While not the same thing exactly, I've had success substituting matchsticks of unripe mango and tart green apple for green papaya in salads. I once worked as a private chef in the middle of nowhere and was tasked with making a Thai menu, and the green apple salad was a huge hit.
A: I love the apple idea! I was also thinking that jicama could work well, although you may have as tough a time finding it as unripe papaya.
Joe Yonan
Q: Some of my Seder guests are vegans. Any suggestions for recipes for vegan Passover entrees and sides dishes? I am limited for the holiday and can't use grains, rice, beans or leavened products.
A: Quinoa is great for vegans. I have a wonderful recipe for quinoa salad with squash and pecans in "King Solomon's Table." I like to make lots of salads for my Passover table, so vegans always have plenty of options. My book also has a delicious Georgian spinach salad with walnuts and cilantro as well as many eggplant dishes. I think of a vegan entree as a medley of delicious dishes instead of one roast meat.
Joan Nathan
Q: Could you recommend a cookbook or two that would be a good gift for a cook just starting out? She has basic experience in the kitchen making simple meals, but this will be the first time she's living on her own and responsible for meals every day. I've got "The Joy of Cooking" on my list, but I remember receiving that as a newbie and being overwhelmed by the sheer number of tiny-font recipes, so I'd love to get her a book that won't make meal planning seem so daunting.
A: My first answer every time we get this is question is "Cooking School Secrets for Real World Cooks" by Linda Carucci, which was updated last year. There are easy recipes and ways to think about planning menus, but more importantly there are very readable sections on how to salt foods properly and how to choose fish, etc. - lessons that really stick with you. Carucci is a wonderful instructor in person, so if you ever notice she is conducting one in your friend's area, point her in that direction!
Q: I'm not Jewish, and have been invited to my first Seder. I have some idea of all the rules about what not to bring, but is there a nice hostess gift to take along that's OK to bring into the house?
A: My favorite hostess gift in general is a bottle of really great olive oil – every home cook will appreciate it. And it's totally welcome for Passover!

Some businesses have learned how important their reputation is the hard way. If you don't take care of your customers, word does get out. To create a positive reputation and gain customers, follow these suggestions.
Make sure all customers are satisfied. Reversing a customer's opinion of you in a positive way is a good way to show them you care. It's even better when you get to do this on the Internet. Others will see how you assist the unhappy customer and will leave with a positive impression.
Following up with your clients is vital for success. This is even more important if your business is large. Customers want to feel important. Use an automated system that can interact with them. Ask customers for feedback on anything they bought recently.
Watch social networks. Most customers will expect companies to answer questions on social media websites. Answer as quickly as possible to this negative comment. The more responsive you are, the better you'll appear in comparison to the competition.
Go on the offense to protect your reputation online. Ensure you have much positivity surrounding your brand, and this will likely squelch any negativity. Continually post new content that is positive, resulting in any negative comments slipping in search engine listings.
Stay current with information and news relating to your service or product. This helps ensure you can supply your customers with the latest innovations and information. Take a few minutes each day to run an online search to get the newest facts about the industry you're in.
Optimize web pages with essential key phrases to help your online reputation. It is normal that this would be your company's name. Search engines, like Google, tend to favor authoritativeness. When Google or Bing sees your site as the authority, you're more likely to rank highly in their results.
Look at your presence on the Internet. A displeased customer may talk about you online, and you can see this through a search engine result. Checking search results can help you keep negative content from reaching the top. Consider doing this monthly or every two weeks.
Watch social networks all the time. Most customers will expect companies to answer questions on social media websites. Reply to questions within an hour if you can. Since many companies take a while to respond, this will help you stand out.
A private promotion or deal should always be kept a private matter. If you are discounting to make up for a complaint, then this is important. You never want to post exactly how you are handling a complaint only to see more complaints from those trying to get something for free.
Keep an eye on your online business reputation. You don't know when a negative comment is made so you have to check often. Looking at search results may help you avoid having negative content at the top. Do this a few times monthly.
There are companies that specifically offer reputation management. From social media to public announcements, there is a lot that goes into managing a public reputation. Therefore, you will need someone to help you manage that.
Always keep an ear to the ground in the online social media networks. Many people discuss companies on these sites. Monitoring the platforms enables you to do immediate damage control on any negative comments posted. You can really help your business maintain a strong reputation in this way.
The more your company expands, the more customers you'll be interacting with. With all of this come negative comments occasionally, and you have to have a thick skin and address all complaints. Also, you have to address them in a polite and proper manner.
As your business expands, you can get more customer interaction. You may get some complaints that you need to take care of. In addition, you should address them properly so others will approve of how you handled them.
When you get negative feedback, it can be tempting to blow up immediately, especially if the person who wrote it isn't being totally honest. However, you should remain calm when responding to what has been said. Let readers make judgments on their own.
When reading negative content in regards to your company, you can easily get angry at the writer. This is usually the case when it's not true, too. It is best to remain calm and professional. When people read what both of you have said, they can come to their own conclusions.
If you have a company that made a mistake and it hurt the customers, don't try covering it up. Your customers are too smart for that. Rather than ignoring the issue, take responsibility for it and try to quickly correct the mistake. Most customers will respond well to this type of honesty.
You need to be working on things to set up proper expectations that have to do with how you're doing business. This includes being completely honest when dealing with customers and admitting to errors when you make them so that you will take care of them correctly. Being transparent is a great way to help your business reputation.
When there is a community event, be a corporate sponsor. Your reputation will soar! Your consumers will see the types of public events you sponsor and what you do for the community, and that can really give you a favorable reputation. A good impression such as this is very helpful in making your firm successful.
Never try to skirt an issue that arises when your customer has a dispute. There is no sense in trying to fool your customer base. Instead, take a humble approach. Apologize to your customers and offer some sort of remedy whenever possible. Your customers are much more likely to give you forgiveness, particularly if you offer an extra incentive to compensate for the gaffe.
You should look at all places online where people may be discussing your company. Get familiar with whatever sites people use to post comments about the industry your business represents. Add links leading to great comments on your own site, and never fail to answer negative ones.
When someone buys from you, follow up a few times. This is something that will build your credibility. Staying in touch with your customers allows them to tell you of any issues.
When selling goods or services, back up your word with a solid money back guarantee that's simple and easy for customers to use. This is where excellent customer service begins. You will lose the profit gained from a merchandise return, and the item will not be able to be re-sold as new. But, you are gaining reputation.
Become a corporate sponsor for a community event. This will help you better your firm's reputation. Your customers will develop a good impression once they notice your company's generous spirit. If customers think positively about your business, it will grow.
Stick to any promise your business makes. Constantly changing terms erodes customer trust. If people think you are dishonest, word will quickly spread. If you get that sort of reputation, improving it takes a very long time.
Many sites post fake reviews all over the Internet, and your competitors may be doing this. Avoid any temptation to be a part of them. It's bad business and many states have laws against that kind of illegal activity.
At least once per month, see how your search results are going. Do a Google search of your company to determine if there are any complaints about your business. Look especially for negative remarks on your website. Keep track of the sources of negative comments and content. Mitigate these when needed.
If you are selling a product or a service, always offer a money back guarantee with no questions asked. This is all part of offering great customer service. You may lose money if a customer returns an item, since you can't just put it back on the shelf. However, your corporate reputation will be seen as positive.
Take some time when you respond to negative things about your presence online, yourself, or the product you represent. Take the time to comprehend the whole situation prior to reacting. Do some fact finding and make sure you can explain your point of view. When you take the time to give information in a responsible manner, you positively increase your reputation for knowledge and credibility.
Negative Comments
Effective reputation management is sometimes dealing directly with negative reviews or criticisms. Instead of trying to remove or bury negative reviews, deal with it directly and explain your side of things. Honesty is valued, so admit when you are wrong and invite the customer to talk privately about a fix.
Take a look at search results each month. Try Googling your company each month and checking your whole website. Make sure to take care of all of the negative comments. Watch for negative comments. Take any necessary action to mitigate them.
Don't sabotage your own reputation by reacting in anger to customer accusations or issues. Never take anything personally, and never conduct attacks via social media. Give a professional response and close the issue immediately.
It's a must to control your emotions when managing your reputation is key. Be sure you know how to manage your stress well with some useful strategies. Sports or swimming can help you to blow off some steam. Don't get into flame fights online. This is the quickest way to derail your reputation.
Become a member of your industry trade organization. This can increase the word of mouth about your products or services. Joining an organization such as these sends the message that you are a credible business. There may be a small fee to pay, but it is worth it.
Receiving bad feedback on any of your social media sites is something that will make you feel uneasy. But, you must take caution before responding. Think about the problem first. By taking a break, you can help avoid getting a bad reputation online.
Try to learn all you can about your customer base. All customers like a personal touch. If you provide them with a service, learn how they use it and how you can improve your service. This will really help your company's reputation out and show that you provide great service.
If a trade organization exists for your industry, you should join. People frequently look to trade organizations when seeking recommendations of service providers. Joining an organization sends a message that you are a credible business. The fee to join is typically small, and the benefits are more than worth paying for.
Be willing to take in and apply any constructive criticism, as part of your business's reputation management. If a customer has an issue with your business, you should both address it and thank the person responsible for bringing it up. Don't just bury your head in the sand; seize the opportunity to make your business better.
Try to go the extra mile for your clients. It doesn't take a huge amount of effort to make a positive impression on customers. This makes it to where a customer will come back to your company later on.
Connect yourself to a charity. Not only are you providing a good service, your business can reap many good tax benefits. It will increase your public profile.
If you have a large company, think about hiring people to manage public relations. Reputation management is an example of a full-time job. Someone should monitor the Internet daily to make sure the situation is controlled as well as possible. If you don't, you may end up with a big problem.
Use your website to manage your reputation. You should incorporate your company's name into your website. As search engines review your website, they must determine that your firm is an authority in the relevant sector. Place the name of your business in the URL, headers and title tags on each page.
A positive reputation is a must for your firm. It may be a long time to gain a great reputation, but the above advice can help with this process. Make sure that you bury all complaints as soon as possible. Paying attention to it is going to help you win customers and build your reputation.
Social media can be a useful reputation management tool. It's common for negative comments to pop up on the Internet, so address them in an immediate manner. Resolve these issues as quickly as possible.

Aggressive acts has its effects, McCarthy and Kelly (1978), (http://www1.appstate.edu/~beckhp/aggsociallearning.htm) research suggests that aggression improves performance. For example a rugby player has to be aggressive to a certain extent in order to avoid harm to themselves, if a performer was to play half heartedly the likelihood of them become injured is high, due to concentration not fully being on, for example making a tackle. However, it has been suggested that aggression could hinder performance in that attention is focuses away from the task at hand, or arousal has increased past the optimal level
The diagram below shows a diagram of the inverted U theory The diagram above shows the inverted U theory, which suggests that there, is an optimal performance at a certain time during an exercise and if this optimal arousal level is breeched, due to frustration, or anger towards another player or to highly motivated then performance of the activity or game will decrease. This can then lead to frustration due to the fact the goal has not been reached. It is therefore the job of the coach within the rugby team to find out how to reach and what reaches the optimal arousal of each playing in order to increase team's performance.
When we come to link personality and behaviour with sports performance, we can see a link between a persons personality/behaviour and there performance. For instance Eysenck said "extroverts need increased levels of stimulation to maintain optimum levels of attention and brain functioning. They could become bored very easily and would tend to seek out and be happier in new and challenging situations." (Wesson et al 2000) extroverts according Eysenck do not have much arousal and need to find sports which stimulate them. Extroverts achieve optimum performance at high levels of arousal preferably in team orientated activities or involving large movements. For example extroverts would strive in a football game were they are playing with their team mates and it involves gross movements, the game is exciting and competitive. This would suit their personalities. Activities such as long-distance running or triathlon which has a large continuous element could be demotivating and boring.
On the other hand Introverts "have high levels of excitation naturally occurring within them (over aroused). So therefore they have no need to seek excitement in order to function at an optimum level." (Wesson et al 2000) Introverts according to Eysenck achieve high levels of performance at lower levels of arousal, sports such as shooting or long-distance running. How we deal with a sports situation can be linked to trait theories and our personalities, for example if you were assessed as being angry and easily loose your temper. Then this is how you would respond in a given situation. Such as, if your losing you will start being aggressive towards other people and might lash-out.
According to the Instinct theory, it is a natural occurrence for humans to act in an aggressive way. Sport can be seen a back to the instinctive ways of humans were it could not be allowed to happen in society because of laws. The nature of sport has a competitive and some time physical element. Human's natural instinct can come out to win and not to be defeated in sports. Social- learning theory does not agree with the above, it suggests that we act aggressively because we have seen a significant other do so, and we see those actions as acceptable and good.

Can Linux Desktops Live in an Active Directory World?Submitted by Ty on September 13, 2006 - 2:00pm
It still causes me uncomfortable dispepsia to admit that Microsoft's directory coup worked so well. Since Windows desktop systems are so challenging to own without it, Microsoft succeeded at pushing Active Directory into wide deployment in the business world. As advocates for desktop Linux promote fitness and readiness for use in the business world, few seem to surmise what a strong fortress Microsoft has built around Windows.
