If you are a newbie in Penetration Testing and afraid of OSCP preparation, do not worry. Even I was once an amateur before starting on my OSCP journey. In this blog, I will provide you with a strategy for OSCP preparation. I will also share some resources that I found useful during my preparation. Here I will not be explaining the technical concepts. Those should be figured out by you on your own.
OSCP preparation, lab, and the exam is an awesome journey where you will experience lots of excitement, pain, suffering, frustration, confidence, and motivation where learning will be constant throughout the journey. The OSCP certification will be awarded on successfully cracking 5 machines in 23.45 hours. Where one machine will be for exploit writing and which holds maximum points, while the others will be for enumeration, exploitation, and post-exploitation. To practice various attacks and approaches, you will be given access to an online lab which has 55 machines of different versions of both Windows and Linux. Once you are confident in your pentest skills after practicing in labs, you can take the exam.
If you are not a newbie in Pen testing and aware of buffer overflow exploitation, you can skip this section and start enrolling.
Get handy in using Linux. If you are new to Linux, refer the Linux command guide http://linuxcommand.org. Practice all the common commands, and refer the man page for each of these commands.
Check out various videos on YouTube on basic concepts such as port-scanning, web application testing, etc. Sometimes research on simple concepts will give good ideas on enumeration, for e.g., How SSH works, How service runs on ports, How Sockets works etc.
Usage of Metasploit in the exam is limited to only one machine, but still, you can practice it in labs to know about the tool in depth.
Buffer overflow is a very important concept you should practice. Because, if you are good at exploiting buffer overflows, you are sure to get the maximum point machine in the practical exam. But don't worry if you know nothing about buffer overflows. The following steps will make you not only understand the concept of a buffer overflow, but you can also do it by yourself.
1. A quick intro on buffer overflow.
What is Buffer Overflow? (very clearly explained). After watching this video, you will get an idea on the concept behind buffer overflow. Also, will increase your urge on learning buffer overflow.
Don't get bored after seeing Assembly language. Just go through the first 2 videos in this video series. That is enough for understanding the memory layout.
3. Buffer Overflow Megaprimer by Vivek Ramachandran. http://www.securitytube.net/groups?operation=view&groupId=4.
In-depth video of buffer overflow where its explained in a very detailed way.
Real-time Exploitation of buffer overflow which will be very interesting, where exploitation is explained in stepwise clearly. You can even try it yourself as mentioned in the video for your practice. It's enough to go through first 5 videos. SEH Based buffer overflow is not required for OSCP.
If you follow the above steps, you will be able to do exploitation with buffer overflow by yourself 100%.
Many people shy away from preparing for buffer overflows because it helps to exploit only one machine in the exam. But still, it's a very important and interesting concept. I have seen many people failing because of improper preparation on buffer overflows. Moreover, OSCP is not the target. All the things you learn here is for the real world.
These are some valuable resources which I found very useful in my OSCP Preparation. Many of them are now permanent reference resources even after I have cleared my OSCP.
OSCP is difficult – have no doubts about that! There is no spoon-feeding here. Refer to all the above references and do your own research on topics like service enumeration, penetration testing approaches, post exploitation, privilege escalation, etc. Remember, always take notes as text with a separate note.
Knowledge and expert skills don't come immediately to anyone. They must be worked upon. But first you need to get started! So, if you are anywhere near the idea of attempting the OSCP, just enrol and get started. Once you are good with all the above pre-enrolling, you are fully ready to enrol for the OSCP.
The main thing in OSCP is the lab.
OSCP is not about clearing the exam. It's all about working deeply on labs.
It's not about the destination. It's all about the journey.
So, it is recommended to take 2 or 3 months lab. 1 month lab will never be enough for learning. If you have enough time to work dedicatedly on weekdays, you can take 2 months. Else take 3 months minimum.
Once you enrol, you will be given a time where you will receive your materials and lab connectivity packs. Approximately 20 days from the date of enrolling.
This period could be used to test your research ideas on some other OSCP lab similar stuffs.
Refer to the vulnhub machines in the following link.
The VMs in the above link are OSCP-like VMs. Generally, CTFs are different than the vulnerable machines in the OSCP labs. CTFs have a puzzle-like approach, whereas OSCP labs are the ones which will be like a real-world simulation.
The VMs in the above link will be like OSCP labs. You can start solving these VMs. For the vulnhub VMs, there are walkthroughs for each machine. You can try each machine first by yourself. Else read the walkthrough, understand it, and then try to implement the method again in the VMs.
It is also a network which has machines like OSCP Labs.
Document all your steps and take notes of every new concept you learned.
You will get your training materials (in PDF), video materials, and lab connectivity pack via email. The link for the pdf and video will expire in 2 days. You should download and back it up before that. Check your lab connectivity as mentioned in the lab connectivity guide. Don't start diving into labs immediately. Follow the below given steps once you receive the email.
Do the exercises in pdf and document it.
Mostly people only go through the video and then start labs. But that is the biggest mistake. The PDF has a lot more than what is mentioned in the videos. Do not feel bored when going through all the material and doing the exercises. Remember the proverb by Abraham Lincoln.
The exercises in the PDF help in sharpening one's axe. I found some useful tips and tricks whenever I used to get stuck in the lab exercises.
What's more, you will get an additional 5 points for submitting exercise documentation.
Now is the main part of OSCP. The labs. The lab environment consists of 55 machines each with a different approach and different difficulty level. The lab infra has 4 networks. Public, IT, Development, and Admin network. You will get direct access only to the public network. You need to unlock other networks by the secret keys obtained by proper post exploitation. You will be connected to other networks by port forwarding and proxy chaining. A lab is the place where you try out all your research ideas and various tools.
Before starting the lab machines, go through the buffer overflow exploitation in the video material 2-3 times and practice the same on your dedicated Windows 7 machine provided along with the lab machines. Same tools explained in the material will be there on your Windows 7 machine. Practice buffer overflow by following the same steps used by the instructor.
For some machines, you will get direct admin/root/system access at the initial stage itself. But still, you need to do proper post exploitation enumeration on that machine. This is because in the labs the information gathered on post exploitation on one machine will be used to solve another one.
There are 4 main difficult machines in the OSCP lab called as pain, sufferance, humble and gh0st. its nature is as per the name. I gained a lot of confidence after solving these machines.
You need to give your maximum dedication in the labs. Do the research, lots and lots of research. Try all kind of possibilities, try stupid things. Google is your friend. Always use Google at any point and at every machine. Google everything that is in front of you. You will experience lots and lots of pain, frustration, etc. Many times you may lose your patience. But NEVER GIVE UP!
Log into you OS ID and navigate to lab machine discussion. You will find some useful hints.
Also, you can join a slack team https://netsecfocus.slack.com and request them to add you to the OSCP channel. You can get some useful ideas here.
But nowhere no one will give you a direct solution for any of the lab machines. You will only get a small hint and some suggestions. You must figure out the solution by yourself.
Remember, the enumeration is the key for OSCP. It took me 2 months to know the exact meaning of enumeration. Never get excited to exploit any machine at first. Do not follow the approach of monkey testing and blindly downloading and running the exploits. Trust me, this approach will make you fall into a rabbit hole. There will be some decoy vulnerabilities to trick you in the wrong direction.
Only with proper enumeration, you can successfully exploit any target.
Do a full port scan on the target.
Enumerate every port. Find what service is running. If you are unaware, simply google the port. Also refer to the below article.
If you find a vulnerability, read about that vulnerability. Many of the exploits will not work without modification. So, learn the vulnerability and read the exploit carefully. Sometimes, there will be another manual way of exploiting the vulnerabilities instead of using public exploits. So, google a lot. Pages not listed under top will also have some useful stuffs. Refer all pages.
In some cases, the machine might be busy since other students will also be working. So, revert the machine and try again. Look for the attacks on the vulnerability online. There will be many blogs written on how to exploit that vulnerability.
Once you gain access to the system, always upgrade your shell. Enumerate well. Search for misconfigurations, credentials, try to use the credentials at whichever place possible.
It is not required to solve all the machines to take the exam. It's for enhancing your pentest skills. I'd recommend getting at least 25+ targets and 2 of the four difficult ones. If you can't solve these many target machines then you probably need to extend the labs and start working on it.
Document all your lab works and take notes of everything that you learned. Submitting the lab report will give you an additional 5 points.
Once you are confident enough after working in the labs, you can take the exam. Make sure you schedule your exam date at least 1 month in advance.
You need proper sleep, food, and regular breaks during the exam. Because your brain needs to function 2-3 times more creatively and spontaneously than usual.
Grab all your notes, lab notes and make a revision before starting.
Metasploit usage is restricted in the exam. You should use it only once. So, use it wisely.
Never lose your patience and stay calm. Enumerate, enumerate, and enumerate. Never leave anything. Try all stupid things. Do not panic. Assume like you are working in the lab.
After completing the exam, you will be given 1 day to prepare the report and send them. There will be a report template in the reporting guide. You can use your own report as well. Read the offsec reporting guide carefully before starting the report and send them in the exact format and the way they are mentioned.
Take regular breaks. Go for a small walk and get some fresh air.
Take screenshots and POCs immediately after each exploitation steps.
I have seen many people failing in the exam once they lose their patience. So never get tensed. Always be calm and relaxed. TRY HARDER!
OSCP is not just a certification. It is an awesome journey which teaches you many things apart from technical perspective. It will teach you to think creatively, develop a ton of patience and most of all you will 'NEVER GIVE UP'.
So never see this as a certification and don't target only on clearing the exam and getting certification. Work on labs. Try to pwn as many machines as you can. Again, TRY HAAAAARDER.
This is pretty useful. I've dwelled on taking the exam few times but never had enough time to do it. Now I know exactly what to do pre-exam. Thanks for sharing these tips and links.
Nice guide.. In addition to this, you can also try your pentest skills on https://lab.pentestit.ru/. It will give you little bit of OSCP experience.
I have taken your suggestion. i am planing to take OSCP LAB soon. i am bit worry about buffer-over flow and privileges escalation. which you have given videos are enough.. do we need to write exploit code ?..
Hi Rajesh. For buffer overflow, the videos which I suggest is enough. You will not be writing exploit from scratch. You only have to modify existing exploits.
For privilege escalation, yet you need lot of your own research.
Awesome ram , keep going. Do write blogs of these kind , very informative.
I have gone through many blogs. this one seems very useful. many thanks. I have bookmarked this.
Thank you very much for guiding us. I have a query regarding the timeline Let's assume that I enroll on 01-Jan for 2 months option, then (approximately) by 20-Jan I will get the link to download PDF, Videos and VPN connection. Now my 60 days clock starts and that will end on 21-Mar(approximately).
1. Once my 60 days are over, within how many days I have to appear for the exam?
2. Can I do a self study and practice at my own (NOT on OSCP lab by extending the lab timing) for few days and then schedule the exam in mid of May (according to my above example)?
Thank you very much once again for your such an informative and helpful blog.
I'd strongly recommend you to take the exam immediately after your lab ends. probably next day. else you will loose the grip and track. And no preparation will come equal to the lab practice. So, schedule your exam the next day of your lab end or within that.
Appreciate your sharing. This is such a valuable guide i've found. By the way, could please share if there is any web topic in this course/lab/exam?
I'd like to know can we schedule the exam while we still have access to lab? For instance, if I purchase 3 months lab, and after 2months I'm confident to take the exam, can I schedule the exam in the third month? Or I have to finish the complete lab duration i.e. 90days before attending the exam.
Did you use ready to go VMs for BoF exploit development during the exam??
Does that mean all exam BoF exploits works on Win7?
can you give me details about cost of this course in indian rupees.
It will be exchange rate of day on which you have booked a lab.
So far the best guide I have found on the web. Thank you, much appreciated.
How long do you take for this OSCP preparation from pre-enrolment till exam ?
Do i need to go through all vivek python module to learn python for this ?
but i am worry about the exam . do you think what i have done . it will make ready for it ??
Please define enumerate. You said it took u 2 months to figure out its meaning.
which book do you recommend for me in order to learn bash scripting ?
http://www.securitytube.net/groups?operation=view&groupId=5 these are acting as malicious. Why does the site need to access my gmail account?
I am ZERO in scripting/programming and trying very hard to learn python. Can I pass this exam with very basic python skills. Are we supposed to write any new code or how much code do we need to modify for passing the exam ? Assuming I dont learn programming and take a pass can I still pass the exam ? Please guide me. I just dont want to give up OSCP for this one reason of coding.
To give an answer to your question, Yes, basic coding knowledge is required.
Morover, OSCP is not a semester to get a pass mark and get away. Or its not a driving license. And I can say CODING is not a complex trignometry with integration and differentiation. take away the though that you cant do coding. If you are really ambitious in infosec and love to do OSCP, Go for it. if coding is new for you, then learn it from python. modify an exploit, craft your own exploit in BOF. and target completing OSCP 100/100.
Thanks for the wonderful post Mohan. It would help a lot for OSCP aspirants. Am planning to do OSCP now and can I reach you out incase I need any assistance please.
I have completed all buffer overflow examples explained in Viveks megaprimer of Exploit Development and Buffer Overflow videos. Is that enough for OSCP or I need to study additional buffer overflow techniques also?
Excellent blog. Just what I was looking for.
Regarding the 5 exam machines. Do they just give you a 24 range, and tell you to find them, or do they give you actual IPs? Also, are the IPs consecutive (important, for setting up my enumeration scripts ahead of time).
In the exam is it recommended to use Metasploit for buffer overflow machine or should we reserve it for some other machine ?
bro, now I'm working as a network engineer, years ago I have some kind of skill in the penetration testing environments, so planning to get back my dream.scheduling are given below before singing the offensive Security.
Thank you so much this was very valuable suggestion indeed. I m pursuing cehv9 currently . Could u please tell me what kind of extra preparation I should do for oscp??
Wow! that's amazing information. The words gives us a lot to proceed, eventually I was confused and din't know where to start the preparation from this explains everything.
Thanks for your detailed guide.
very useful information posted here. thanks for the contribution.
what is the oscp focus – for pentesting on windows or linux platforms ?
Achieving OSCP is depend on your computer networking knowledge. As much as you know the networking and programming, you will get learn the OSCP easer.


3D and 4D Ultrasound in Houston, TX - The Inside Story Ultrasound: Before and After Contest!
A few of our friends went to other 3D facilities and their pictures were not that good - actually they were a little scary. Therefore, I was extremely nervous, but we were so amazed at how clear our sons face looked. The pictures were awesome! Our son looked exactly like his 3D pictures when he was born. Everything was great: the pictures, the location, and of course, how they treat you. I tell everyone about our experience at The Inside Story Ultrasound. It was so amazing that I even went back for a 2nd time to see how much my little one had grown.
On my way to The Inside Story Ultrasound not only was I nervous, but I was also somewhat skeptical if my baby's face would actually be clear enough to distinguish particular characteristics. When I arrived I was greeted warmly and couldn't help but notice how immaculately clean and organized the facility was. Unfortunately, my daughter was being camera shy and had her foot in the way, but luckily our technician worked with us and allowed us to stretch and a have a few minutes to get her to move. A few seconds later I was in a state of amazement. This was one of the most memorable moments in my entire life.

A little San Francisco Stripper history!
Commonly referred to as San Francisco strippers or San Francisco 'go-go girls', are those women who take off their clothes for men (and sometimes women) for a living and nowadays prefer to be called 'exotic dancers. San Francisco exotic dancers are a true art form with the human body that built San Francisco establishments. They work in places called San Francisco strip clubs or San Francisco strip joints, but their San Francisco bachelor party or San Francisco bachelorette party clientele prefers to call their business by the more elegant name of San Francisco gentlemen's clubs. The bottom line is that San Francisco female strippers get paid to dance and entertain men with their suggestive moves and sexy bodies with as little clothing as possible and without getting arrested, CA! In locations where laws allow, they dance in completely nude strip clubs as well. Regardless of the style, the field of San Francisco stripping is dominated by female strippers. Male strippers, Hunk-O-Mania, make up less than 1/3 of the professional stripping and adult entertainment community. Hunk-O-Mania and Muscle Men Male Strippers have locations in 23 cities throughout the United States. There are 100 times more female strip clubs in the US than male strip clubs.
Back in the 14th century, anthropologists found the advent of erotic dancing (stripping) that began in the Middle East, in the art form of belly dancing. Not a thread of clothing was removed in these San Francisco Clubs, but with the hip and pelvic furious movements, belly dancing was meant to induce pleasure of a sexual nature in men and became extremely popular in the San Francisco Nightlife Scene because, let us face it, sex sells. Audience members would throw coins at the dancers representing the first-time female strippers for hire in San Francisco who were paid money for their erotic dancing and stripping services. They made trips with dollar bills, not coins, at these female Strip Clubs and Stripper for hire bachelor events. During this time, erotic dancing was also common in the temples of India but in the form of sacred rituals. Male and Female Strippers in San Francisco are hired for private events including, San Francisco bachelor parties & San Francisco bachelorette parties, and also work at Strip Clubs in San Francisco in their spare time.
San Francisco Burlesque Shows
Forward to more modern times where erotic dancing and strippers have blossomed in San Francisco (more like exploded). From San Francisco to Great Britain in the late 1800s - early 1900s, the rise of British burlesque homes, influenced Strippers in San Francisco. An English dancer, comedian, actress, and theatrical producer became one of the most famous burlesque dancers on the stage in London! In the beginning, burlesque performances incorporated a whole act with a combination of music, singing, humor, dance, theatrics, and sexual innuendo; women undressing sensually were only a portion of the burlesque show. That Burlesque dancer is credited with bringing it to America in 1868 with her troupe of "British Blondes' performing in San Francisco theaters and performance houses. Her performances involved chorus lines of beautiful and scantily clad women that sometimes involved audience intimacy without any contact. No doubt, the burlesque industry in San Francisco quickly discovered that the main attraction was sex and it was included in the shows! Over time, burlesque shows began focusing mainly on suggestive sexual dances similar to what strippers do in Strip Clubs today. The routines turned very raunchy and girls became more uninhibited, the acts became more risqué. Of course, in the day and time, we are living in, thankfully strippers and strip clubs have become so mainstream, and not another thought is given to the sensual nature. Strip clubs today are just amazing places to have an incredibly fun time and hang out with friends while discovering some very sexy strippers!
Hire The Best San Francisco Strippers
People searching for San Francisco strippers, San Francisco strip clubs, strippers near me, San Francisco exotic dancers and San Francisco female strippers hope to discover the best San Francisco stripper company possible. That can be, however, hindered by the fact that there seem to be a lot of San Francisco stripper companies out there. Thankfully, we are here to guide you on your San Francisco stripper hiring journey. You must be careful when using any San Francisco stripper company to hire a San Francisco stripper because you could get a less-than-sexy stripper delivered to your door! That would kill the mood of the San Francisco bachelor party, San Francisco birthday party, or San Francisco night out! Your friends would be very disappointed at your San Francisco party and you don't want that on your conscience! Be sure you call the San Francisco stripping company that you want to use to hire your San Francisco strippers to be sure they even answer the phone! If your San Francisco stripper company doesn't answer the phone, that should be a red flag. Next, the San Francisco female strippers should be sexy AND have personalities! You don't want your San Francisco stripper to show up to be disappointed that even though she looks like Beyoncé, she has the personality of a rock! Our San Francisco strippers have the looks of Beyoncé AND the personality to go along with it! Finally, when you order a stripper in San Francisco, you want it to be easy! You shouldn't have to go through a 10-page questionnaire asking you about hiring a stripper in San Francisco! Contact us for more information!

Securing our digital lives
Organizing chaos and safeguarding data
By Janice Blondeau
As information technology becomes ever more pervasive in our daily lives, one large group of experts is at the forefront in helping to secure our digital environment. Their work covers fields such as data security, cloud computing, mitigating cyberthreats, audiovisual and multimedia advances – all within the remit of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee (JTC) 1: Information technology and its Subcommittees.
Cloud computing offers significant advantages but also presents a number of serious challenges
More than 2 000 experts from 163 countries come together within ISO/IEC JTC 1 to develop mutually beneficial guidelines that encourage global trade while protecting intellectual property.
Enhancing cybersecurity
A new JTC 1 International Standard ISO/IEC 27040:2015, Information technology -Security techniques - Storage security, helps to ensures that an individual's, a company's or an organization's valuable information stays in safe hands. (See Better safe than sorry in this issue for more information)
Organizing chaos in the cloud
We hear about 'the Cloud' every day as its significance for businesses and for individuals grows. Although cloud computing is seen as offering significant economic advantages it also presents a number of serious challenges. JTC 1 work has seen the development of the first cloud computing International Standards, which provide a sound foundation in this fast-evolving technological field.
Speaking the same language
Two International Standards published at the end of 2014 provide definitions of common terms and descriptions of how different elements of cloud computing relate to one another. These two Standards also help improve communication between vendors and customers and provide a basis for emerging and future cloud computing Standards.
ISO/IEC 17788:2014, Cloud computing – Overview and vocabulary, provides definitions of common cloud computing terms, including those for cloud service categories and specifies the terminology for cloud deployment models such as "public" and "private" cloud.
ISO/IEC 17789:2014, Cloud computing – Reference architecture, contains diagrams and descriptions of how the various aspects of cloud computing relate to one another, including the cloud computing roles, activities, and the functional components and their relationships.
ISO/IEC JTC 1/Subcommittee (SC) 38 was responsible for developing these two Standards.
Many issues to be resolved
Cloud computing is still relatively young, even if it is growing at a rapid pace. Some key issues have already emerged and more will undoubtedly appear. The IEC, through its work in JTC 1, is helping to create a solid Standards-based foundation for cloud computing.
ISO/IEC 27040 helps ensure that anyone's valuable information stays in safe hands
Two recent ISO/IEC JTC 1 Standards on cloud computing cover definitions of common terms and reference architecture

A new report claims season 2 of The Punisher will keep production of the Marvel/Netflix show in New York. While the debut season of The Punisher felt disconnected from the MCU, that sense of isolation helped the series to feel very different from Marvel's other offerings. While the Netflix shows from the studio have always been darker and bolder than other superhero series, The Punisher had the benefit of a singular narrative and didn't bother tying into a larger world. But with Frank Castle's profile constantly growing, can he continue to operate in the shadows?
New York is jam-packed with vigilantes in the comics, and it looks as if the MCU is following that model. When we last left The Punisher, he kicked off the origin of Jigsaw and managed to have all of his misdeeds wiped clean under one condition: he stays put in New York City. With season 2 of The Punisher officially happening, many have wondered if Frank's story would take him to a new location to exact his brand of justice. For now though, it looks as if he's sticking to his home turf.
Omega Underground is reporting that season 2 of The Punisher will continue to shoot under the working title 'Crime' and remain in New York City. The site also believes the show will begin production later this year, though that's still up in the air. Still, it makes sense given how quickly new seasons of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Daredevil are turning around.
The decision to stay in NYC makes a certain amount of sense given how season 1 of The Punisher ended, but it's hard not to argue that Frank will have trouble avoiding the law given how conspicuous he is. It already strained credulity that Micro's family didn't recognize the high-profile serial killer who was only recently part of a massive trial in their own city. There's also the issue of NYC becoming a stale location with so many Marvel shows taking place there. Even with a wide world at Marvel's disposal, they seem to be falling in line with decades of comic precedent.
It's possible that keeping The Punisher in NYC has a logistic purpose. The original slate of Netflix shows for Marvel Studios were part of a tax deal with the city of New York, and something similar could be in the works still. There's also a chance that production will move elsewhere after kicking off in New York. We could see The Punisher season 2 start with Frank effectively staying home before his next mission brings him elsewhere.
Of course, it could be that the new season of The Punisher will be more integrated with the other Netflix shows. While the solo series worked well on its own, Frank also shone when paired with Matt Murdock. With The Kingpin coming out of jail, we could see the worlds of Punisher and Daredevil reintegrate for season 2.


Developing an understanding of circuits is the first step in learning about the modern-day electronic devices that dominate what is becoming known as the "Information Age." A basic circuit type, the series circuit, is a circuit in which there is only a single current path. Kirchhoff's Laws provide us the tools in order to analyze any type of circuit.
Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), named after German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff, states that the sum of all current entering any point in a circuit has to equal the sum of all current leaving any point in a circuit. More simply, this is another way of looking at the law of conservation of charge.
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the sum of all the potential drops in any closed loop of a circuit has to equal zero. More simply, KVL is a method of applying the law of conservation of energy to a circuit.
Question: A 3.0-ohm resistor and a 6.0-ohm resistor are connected in series in an operating electric circuit. If the current through the 3.0-ohm resistor is 4.0 amperes, what is the potential difference across the 6.0-ohm resistor?
Note that because there is only a single current path, the same current must flow through each of the resistors.
A simple and straightforward method for analyzing circuits involves creating a VIRP table for each circuit you encounter. Combining your knowledge of Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Current Law, Kirchoff's Voltage Law, and equivalent resistance, you can use this table to solve for the details of any circuit.
Finally, for each element in the circuit I now know the current flow and the resistance. Using this knowledge, I can apply Ohm's Law to obtain the voltage drop (V=IR), and a formula for power (P=I2R) to complete the table.


The cemetery consists of 34.5 acres of former rolling farmland. Currently, the platted area encompasses 19.2 acres. The first recorded burials pre-date both the cemetery platting and the City of Neillsville's incorporation in 1882. As the cemetery grew from the original site in 1870, plots were added in 1890, 1899, 1910, 1927, and 1969, creating a very pleasant pastoral view of the wildlife that passes through. The western end of the cemetery (original plat), with its canopy of big oaks, large granite headstones, mausoleum, and veterans' graves, provides a step back into the City of Neillsville's history, with many of the founding families represented.
715-743-7071 to set up an appointment.
Flowers and decorations are removed from the cemetery on April 1 and October 1, weather permitting.
Any flowers or decorations left in the cemetery on April 1 and October 1 will be removed and discarded.

Oracle Cloud VMware Solution: Providing Enterprises with a Fast Pass to the Cloud
VMware Cloud Team
Original blog posted on Feb 1st, 2021
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution eases enterprise cloud migration. Read the latest blog featuring Clay Magouryk, Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to find out why expediting cloud migration is great for business.
Large companies are always torn between preserving their investments in key information technology and adopting the latest-and-greatest advancements. Oftentimes moving to the latest thing means leaving the old latest thing behind despite the huge value it continues to provide.
For example, VMware has an estimated 80% market share for on-premises virtualization software, according to IDC[1] while Gartner predicts that within four years, 80% of organizations will have migrated away from their on-premises data centers to the cloud[2].
To expedite the IT evolution to the cloud while preserving companies' investment in key on-premises technology, Oracle and VMware have teamed up to deliver an ideal cloud platform for enterprise applications and workloads that run in a VMware Software Defined Data Center.
Oracle Cloud VMware Solution enables enterprises to quickly migrate their VMware environments from data center hardware to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure without retooling applications or altering best practices and operational processes. Oracle Cloud VMware Solution delivers an enterprise-grade, production-proven solution for VMware customers looking to save money, increase agility, and boost system performance the cloud while using the VMware technology they know and trust.
We caught up with Clay Magouyrk, Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, to get his thoughts on the IT requirements of global enterprises and how Oracle leverages more than four decades of experience delivering IT systems that satisfy the most stringent requirements of enterprises, institutions, and agencies — in the cloud.
Q: How did Oracle and VMware start the conversation that led to Oracle developing Oracle Cloud VMware Solution?
A: Oracle and VMware are long-time partners with many joint customers.
Both companies recognized that a significant number of our shared customers depend on our globally scalable and highly available platform to operate applications and systems that underpin their ongoing business. Customers have many Oracle applications, databases, and other workloads operating in on-premises VMware environments that they want to move to the cloud. We needed to deliver a cloud solution that would allow those customers running Oracle + VMware software to seamlessly migrate their on-premises VMware workloads to a public cloud infrastructure with no disruption to business continuity.
We also wanted to ensure that customers would continue to have a native VMware user experience in the cloud and be able to extend their hardened on-premises VMware best practices to it. Finally, we wanted to offer a global cloud native solution that is enterprise ready and cost-effective on a next-generation cloud platform.
To address our mutual customers' cloud migration needs, Oracle and VMware announced a deep product integration and an enhanced joint support agreement in 2019. This agreement outlined terms for supporting our mutual customers operating Oracle applications and databases in VMware environments. We also jointly announced the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, which delivers an industry-first, cloud-native VMware experience on Oracle Cloud.
Q: Please tell us about the resulting solution.
A: Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is the only cloud-native, fully customer-controlled and customer-operated VMware solution on the market today. This solution takes the VMware Software Defined Data Center, Cloud Foundation, and makes it available in Oracle Cloud. The Oracle and VMware product integration enables customers to easily bring their existing VMware workloads into the Oracle Cloud without modification and helps ensure flawless migrations. In this way, customers can leverage their existing investments in people, processes, tools, and technology to extend their cloud strategy.
In much the same way, customers operating Oracle applications can now easily operate on VMware in the Oracle Cloud. Additionally, customers can deploy cloud-native services such as HPC, Autonomous Databases, Kubernetes, and other cloud infrastructure services directly from their OCI account running VMware.
Q: What is driving demand for the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution?
A: VMware has been a significant part of customers' on-premises IT infrastructure. Over many years, customers have hardened their best practices, customized application development, and created IT centers of excellence that rely on VMware's proven technology. Customers need to be able to leverage these existing, proven investments in VMware and operate in the cloud.
Customers told us that they also wanted more control, as well as fast infrastructure provisioning and access to other cloud services. So, we built a different type of offering.
We designed the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution in collaboration with VMware product and engineering teams to deeply integrate VMware Cloud Foundation elements into the Oracle Cloud stack. The resulting product enables us to deliver a solution that can power up in less than three hours. Our customers can start migrating their on-premises workloads in minutes. This has resonated well with our customers.
Q: How does the solution work?
A: At its core, the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution addresses three customer requirements: security, predictability and control of cloud-based VMware environments.
• Oracle Cloud VMware Solution can provide a secure environment as it's based on our second-generation Oracle Cloud. We completely isolate the hardware for each customer. Once Oracle deploys cloud instances to our customers, we don't have any visibility into the code on their cloud instance. More importantly, we don't share any of our code on the same cloud instance as our customer. By design, Oracle, or any other tenant on our cloud, will never have access to any other customer's code as each system is uniquely isolated from each other based on our security-first, zero-trust isolated network architecture.
• There's a certain amount of security standards that VMware SDDCs have established over the years. With Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, our customers can continue to maintain those well-established security standards.
• Net-net, when you couple VMware's well-understood security guardrails and Oracle's industrial-grade security, you have security layers to protect your data and application continuity.
Predictability:
Customers need predictability in time-to-productivity, stability of data sources, technical support, and simplified pricing.
• Time-to-productivity is dependent on systems that map to business needs. One of the reasons VMware is so successful is that it standardized data center operations. This enables IT professionals to rapidly map systems to business needs. In much the same way, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution allows a customer to set up a VMware Software Defined Datacenter with three starting nodes in less than three hours and then be able to add a new node in minutes. The Oracle Cloud enables customers to scale their cloud infrastructure up or down based on real-time business needs. This is a global solution, available in every OCI region, including in an on-premises, Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer hardware stack. Customers designed their global presence to suit their needs. We designed our solutions to meet them where they need us.
The Oracle Cloud VMware Solution allows customers to migrate their VMware environments as-is and without any code changes or application refactoring. This is especially important as IT and business leaders have defined and mapped systems together to address business needs.
These systems need to be predictably managed—contracted, expanded, modified, and depreciated to maintain consistency in time-to-productivity. Customers don't want to disrupt their existing application portfolios as they move to the cloud. We designed our VMware solution to meet that expectation.
• Data is something that Oracle knows a great deal about. The ability to have predictability when managing data in any IT environment is very important. Oracle customers trust our leadership in data management; we underscore that with mutual tech support to our customers. Also, Oracle has a strong opinion of how customers manage data—into and out of cloud-centric databases. We believe our customers shouldn't incur any punitive and unpredictable effects or costs from moving data among data centers and our cloud regions.
• Technical support for IT operations is a must. Questions sometimes arise when migrating from an on-premises environment to the cloud. Enterprises require accountability from a single point of contact for technical support. Oracle includes full level 1 and level 2 support for our Oracle Cloud VMware Solution. Our relationship with VMware, combined with a deep understanding of vSphere, enables us to offer this deep level of support.
Control of cloud-based VMware environments:
• Simplified pricing and procurement for cost and billing is also important to our customers. IT Managers understand the costs that are mapped to their systems. Oracle is clear about what the costs are when we sell subscriptions to Oracle Cloud VMware Solution to customers. We also have the same costs in every Cloud region. Other cloud providers often vary their prices for certain services across different regions. This adds an unpredictable factor to managing infrastructure. Additionally, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution appears as a single line item in our customer's cloud invoice. This minimizes the complexity of procuring and managing licenses and cloud utility costs.
Q: What kinds of enterprises will find the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution most compelling?
A: Organizations that have a significant investment in a VMware Software Defined Data Center and a strategy to migrate to the public cloud will find Oracle Cloud VMware Solution most compelling. These organizations will evaluate and determine that Oracle offers the most compelling solution for migrating a VMware Estate to the cloud.
We spoke about security earlier. Security is a paramount concern for enterprise customers. Oracle extends its robust enterprise-grade security into the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution.
Customers and their services partners that require direct control over their entire VMware Estate will enjoy a VMware-native operating experience. The Oracle offering is unlike all other cloud providers. Oracle does not have access to our customer's root credentials or dictate when our customers need to update or upgrade software.
Additionally, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is a first-class citizen, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution services are available on day one for all of our commercial, government, and dedicated regions. Enterprises that require global deployment and scale for VMware in the cloud can get it with Oracle.
Q: Are there any data points we can include to highlight how customers responded to the partnership between Oracle and VMware announced last September at Oracle OpenWorld?
A: Since our offering became generally available in August 2020, Oracle has experienced an increase in customer subscriptions to the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution. We have customers in telecommunications, supply chain and logistics, financial services, energy services, and retail services that are rapidly expanding their production workloads using Oracle Cloud VMware Solution. Customers, such as Entel, have deployed and expanded their production workloads on Oracle Cloud VMware Solution. A common thread among our customers is the benefits and value of operating full VMware Software Defined Data Centers in the Oracle Cloud with improved performance, availability, and lower costs.
Q: Why in your opinion is there such a significant synergy between Oracle and VMware?
A: Oracle and VMware share the same values and ethos when it comes to delivering the best technology solutions for our enterprise, institution, and agency customers around the world. We believe in listening to our customers, developing products based on their requests, and constantly improving to deliver solutions that our customers need. Both companies have a strong presence in IT environments where we solve the toughest challenges for our customers. Customers have learned to trust us for our ability to deliver solutions for decades and are counting on us now to extend that into the cloud.
Q: Why is it of crucial importance that the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution be VMware Cloud Verified?
A: A primary design principle of the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is to deliver a native VMware experience that includes full control, just like an on-premises data center while maintaining a consistent VMware Software Defined Data Center as a first-class citizen in Oracle Cloud. We need our customers to have confidence that all of their VMware workloads will operate seamlessly and without modification in Oracle Cloud VMware Solution. VMware Cloud Verified is a mark that VMware customers recognize and that Oracle takes seriously.
Fewer than 5% of VMware's 4,500+ cloud provider partners are VMware Cloud Verified, and even fewer have launched a VMware Cloud Verified service out of the gate. Most take months, if not years to become VMware Cloud Verified. What differentiates Oracle is that Oracle Cloud VMware Solution is a VMware Cloud Verified service at launch because of our close collaboration with VMware. It is now offered in 22 Oracle Cloud regions and will be added to future cloud regions as we expand globally.
Q: Why is it important for enterprises to be able to use the VMware technologies they know and trust in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
A: Customers need predictability in time-to-productivity, stability of data sources, and cost-controls. Also, enterprises have made significant investments in their VMware Software Defined Data Centers. It's critical that these companies and their associated services and integration partners have confidence that their architecture, operational processes, and tools, which were hardened over time, will work without any business disruptions. Enterprises depend heavily on their VMware and Oracle environments.
Q: What are some of the workloads you see enterprises migrating to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution?
A: Our customers use Oracle Cloud VMware Solution for a variety of use cases that include migrating Oracle and custom applications, data center decommissioning, virtual desktop infrastructure, and business continuity/disaster recovery.
Q: Are any use cases in particular driving increased use of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
A: Yes. We see a significant number of enterprise customers and government customers wanting to deploy high-performance solutions globally at predictable costs.
We have had great success with Zoom, for example.
To increase the number of models run in its modeling and visualization software, Altair moved to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and saved 25%. Computational fluid dynamics models now complete in less than 12 hours.
And, YellowDog, a film studio in London that does animation work with artists chose Oracle Cloud for its high-performance computing workloads and can render full animation footage in less than 30 minutes. Additionally, IP Protection was a critical requirement for YellowDog. Oracle Cloud security met their rigorous standard.
Q: Are there any industries where you see the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution gaining the greatest traction? If so, why?
A: Oracle announced general availability of the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution in August 2020. In the last six months we've signed global customers across the automotive, manufacturing, SaaS, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and real estate sectors. Customers have told us that our global high-availability, user experience, and fixed-cost structure has been a primary driver for adopting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Cloud VMware Solution.
Q: How do you see the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution furthering enterprises' multi-cloud plans?
A: Our customers said that maintaining their investments in VMware and related technology is an ideal business decision. To address this need, Oracle includes Oracle Cloud VMware Solution along with its full infrastructure stack that we call Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer. This is an Exadata machine that a customer can install in its own data center or interconnection center. We simplified the billing so the customer pays a monthly fee just like a cloud subscription. This configuration allows customers to maintain their data in their dedicated region and interoperate into Oracle Cloud.
This is an ideal hybrid-cloud platform for an enterprise VMware environment because Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer operates exactly like Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. VMware workloads operate among any Oracle Cloud region and on-premises, Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, enabling a secure, predictable, and cost-effective cloud environment.
Q: How important is it that both companies work closely with one another to offer technical support to customers for their Oracle and VMware solutions?
A: Very important, and I would argue critical in most cases. Our forty years in the enterprise computing world has taught us that customers cannot afford to go back and forth between systems vendors for support. They demand accountability with a single point of contact. Oracle and VMware offer an integrated, single source for supporting the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution. Oracle delivers Tier 1 and Tier 2 support for both VMware and Oracle products within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Our relationship with VMware, combined with a deep understanding of vSphere, enables us to offer this level of support.
Q: Are there any significant, related announcements coming out of Oracle Live or other events we should also highlight?
A: Oracle and VMware have similar corporate initiatives and interests for cloud-at-the-edge, high-performance computing, and delivering the best/optimized cloud-based solutions for the most challenging enterprise-scale problems and mission-critical applications. Watch this space as we introduce joint offerings for our mutual customers.

Over a period of time, a lot of websites suffered data breaches user password, which includes top Internet companies - Linkedin.com, CSDN.net, the event swept across the entire domestic Internet, and then it came to more than 8 million users play games information was leaked, another rumor everyone, happy network, a distant community, good margin century, Lily network and other communities are likely to become the next target hackers. The endless stream of similar events to the user's online life a huge impact, feel insecure, because people tend habit of using the same password for different sites, so a"violent Library", all suffer.

So we as a Web application developer, the choice of password storage scheme, which is easy to fall into the pitfalls and how to avoid these traps?

## Common solution

Currently the most used password storage scheme is to make one-way hash plaintext passwords stored after, there is a one-way hash algorithm characteristics: can not hashed summary (digest) recover the original data, which is the"one-way" two source word. Commonly used one-way hash algorithms include SHA-256, SHA-1, MD5 and so on.

Go language these three encryption algorithm is as follows:

	//import "crypto/sha256"
	h := sha256.New()
	io.WriteString(h, "His money is twice tainted: 'taint yours and 'taint mine.")
	fmt.Printf("% x", h.Sum(nil))

	//import "crypto/sha1"
	h := sha1.New()
	io.WriteString(h, "His money is twice tainted: 'taint yours and 'taint mine.")
	fmt.Printf("% x", h.Sum(nil))

	//import "crypto/md5"
	h := md5.New()
	io.WriteString(h, "需要加密的密码")
	fmt.Printf("%x", h.Sum(nil))

There are two one-way hash features:

1) with a one-way hash of the password, the resulting summary is always uniquely determined.
2) calculation speed. As technology advances, a second to complete billions of one-way hash calculation.

Combination of the above two characteristics, taking into account the majority of people are using a combination of common password, the attacker can be a combination of all the common password -way hash, get a summary combination, and then a summary of the database for comparison to obtain the corresponding password. This abstract composition is also known as `rainbow table`.

Therefore, after a one-way encryption of data stored, and stored in plain text is not much difference. Therefore, once the site database leaked, all the user's password itself is revealed to the world.

## Advanced solution

Through the above description we know that hackers can use the `rainbow table` to crack hashed passwords, largely because the hash algorithm used to encrypt is public. If a hacker does not know what encryption hash algorithm, that he will not start up.

An immediate solution is to design their own a hash algorithm. However, a good hash algorithm is very difficult to design - both to avoid the collision, but also can not have obvious rule, these two points to be much more difficult than expected. Therefore, more practical applications is the use of many existing hash hash algorithm.

But simply repeated hash, still could not stop hackers. Twice MD5, MD5 three such methods, we can think of, hackers can think naturally. Especially for some of the open source code, so that it is equivalent to the hash algorithm directly to tell a hacker.

No unassailable shield, but there is no off constantly spear. Now security is relatively good site, will use a technique called" salt" way to store passwords, it is often said that"salt". Their usual practice is to first conduct a user-entered password MD5 (or other hash algorithm) encryption ; MD5 values will be only an administrator before they know plus some random string, and then conduct a MD5 encryption. The random string can be included in certain fixed string, and can include the user name (used to ensure that each user is not the same encryption key used).

	//import "crypto/md5"
	// Assume the username abc, password 123456
	h := md5.New()
	io.WriteString(h, "password need to be encrypted")

	pwmd5 :=fmt.Sprintf("%x", h.Sum(nil))

	// Specify two salt: salt1 = @#$% salt2 = ^&*()
	salt1 := "@#$%"
	salt2 := "^&*()"

	// salt1 + username + salt2 + MD5 splicing
	io.WriteString(h, salt1)
	io.WriteString(h, "abc")
	io.WriteString(h, salt2)
	io.WriteString(h, pwmd5)

	last :=fmt.Sprintf("%x", h.Sum(nil))

In two salt did not reveal circumstances, if the hacker is the last to get the encrypted string, it is almost impossible to figure out what the original password.

## Professional solution

Advanced solutions above a few years ago may be safe enough solution because the attacker does not have enough resources to build so many `rainbow table`. However, so far, because the parallel computing capabilities of the upgrade, this attack has been completely feasible.

How to solve this problem? As long as time and resources permit, without a password can not be deciphered, so the solution is: Calculate the required password deliberately increase the resources and time consuming, so nobody sufficient resources available to establish the required `rainbow table`.

Such programs have a feature, the algorithm has a factor used to calculate the digest of the password needed to indicate the resources and time, which is computationally intensive. The greater the intensity calculation, an attacker establishes `rainbow table` more difficult, so that can not continue.

It is recommended `scrypt` program, scrypt by the famous hacker Colin Percival of the FreeBSD backup service Tarsnap for his development.

Go language which is currently supported by the library http://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse?repo=crypto#hg%2Fscrypt

	dk: = scrypt.Key([]byte("some password"), []byte(salt), 16384, 8, 1, 32)

Through the above method can obtain only the corresponding password value, which is by far the most difficult to crack.

## Summary

See here, if you had a sense of crisis, then action:

1) If you are a regular user, then we recommend LastPass for password storage and generation, on different sites use different passwords.

2) If you are a developer, then we strongly suggest you use expert program for password storage.

CO Supreme Court Held Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Properly Declined to Engage in Rulemaking Proposed by Environmental Activists
On January 14, the Colorado Supreme Court issued a unanimous opinion that the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (Commission) properly declined to undertake a rulemaking proceeding that was designed to preclude the Commission from issuing new permits unless the "best available science," as confirmed by the findings of an independent third-party organization, determines that the drilling will occur in a manner that does not cumulatively impair the state's atmosphere, water, wildlife, land resources and does not contribute to climate change. The case is Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, et al., v. Martinez, et al.
The proponents of this rulemaking are described by the Court as "youth activists who have devoted substantial time and effort towards pursuing their goal of protecting the health of Colorado citizens and Colorado's environment." The Commission, after soliciting public comment, declined to engage in this rulemaking, and its decision was affirmed by the Denver District Court. However, a division of the Colorado Court of Appeals reversed this decision, which was then appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court.
Many parties became involved in this litigation, filing amicus curiae briefs on both sides of the issue. The Court has now reversed the Denver District Court, holding that the Commission properly declined to engage in this rulemaking proceeding because:
(1) the Court's review of such an administrative action is limited and highly deferential;
(2) the Commission correctly determined that, under the law, it has no authority to condition new oil and gas drilling permits on a finding of no cumulative adverse impacts to public health and the environment; and
(3) the Commission reasonably relied on the fact that it was already working with the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment to address the rulemaking proponents underlying concerns.
The legislative history of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Act was examined in some detail, compelling the Court to conclude that there was no " legislative intention to establish the protection of public health, safety and welfare as a check on oil and gas development." To the contrary, the legislature's intent was "to minimize adverse impacts to public health and the environment while at the same time ensuring that oil and gas development, production, and utilization could proceed in an economical manner."
According to news reports, the new Governor of Colorado wants to see what he can do in response to this ruling.

Spit-spot and cheerio good chaps! I say, what have we here? There's a British astronaut aboard the international space station? That's the bee's knees! Time we learn how to make a proper cup of tea, wot? Right-o, off we go.
One of the keys to a great cup of tea is how strong it is. Using a luminosity sensor, we will be able to find the perfect amount of diffusion for a cracking spot of tea.
Wire the luminosity sensor as per the image above.
Take the two clear plastic cups and glue their ends together.
Place the two cups over your completed luminosity sensor circuit.
Place the desk lamp above the two cups and turn it on so light is shining onto the luminosity sensor.
Take an baseline reading with no tea in the water.
Place the tea bag in the warm water and wait 30 seconds.
Remove the tea bag and take note of the luminosity sensor reading.
Take a small sip of the tea.
Replace the tea bag and wait another 30 seconds.
Again, remove the tea bag and take note of the luminosity sensor reading.
Take another small sip of the tea.
Repeat this process several times until you have as many readings and get to the taste you want. Now you know that reading is where you should stop steeping your tea!

Cordycep collection and early marriages cause students to leave school in Laya
Cordycep collection and early marriage influenced by cultural norms were a major cause for students to leave schools without completing basic education in the highland community of Laya in Gasa.
This is according to a research conducted by a teacher of Laya Central School, Thinley Rabgay.
With a sample size of 200 from the vicinity, the research, which took him almost a year was done to understand the dropout situation and to recommend some prevention measures.
Compared to 2017, Laya Central School had 11 fewer students enrolled in 2018 and three students discontinued from mid-term break this year. The school has 143 students today.
In 2015, 11 students dropped out of school, 10 in 2017 and nine in 2014.
Household responsibilities, economic factors, early marriage and pregnancy, family education, attitude of teachers, teaching-learning atmosphere and school facilities, and the geographical situation of the school were some of the variables for the research.
Of the total 188 participants included in the research, more than 53 percent of the respondents agreed that students left because of being the eldest child in the family while about 28 said they had to drop school to look after younger siblings.
"This practice of the eldest sibling staying back home to help parents was considered a common custom of the community," according to the research.
With only about eight percent of the total respondents agreeing that they dropped school for not being able to afford school necessities, affordability of school expenses was ruled out as a reason for leaving school.
More than 80 percent responded that they dropped school to transport goods at home and to collect cordyceps for better earnings.
"Both parents and dropouts say they focus on cordycep collection that gives them a minimum of Nu 100,000 as their annual income," it stated.
Located 3,800ms above sea level, Laya community's main income is through cordyceps collection, rearing of yaks, porter services and starting of business among others.
The study showed that girls aged 15 dropped school to marry. "This practice of early marriage is considered a custom in the community."
It stated that out of the 53 dropouts, 34 were married and two had divorced. "11 dropouts, who got married were below the age of 21 and 16 were between 21-30 years."
More than 20 percent of the respondents strongly agreed that there was a little influence of parents' awareness on the importance of education while 29 percent disagreed.
The research indicated that the distance of the school from homes, inconvenient location, and weather as unfavourable factors causing dropouts.It stated that students fall ill as they descend to a lower altitude to study.
It found that the dropout rate has been increasing annually and was alarming to the education sector and the school. "The teachers have been giving a talk on "Value of Education" to both parents and students and made the school welcoming through various programmes and activities to reduce dropout rates."
After completing class VIII from Laya Lower Secondary School, the students join Bjishong Central School, which is located more than a day's walk from Laya. Starting this April, Laya Lower Secondary School was upgraded to a central school.

by Temple Lentz • Feb 2, 2013 at 1:14 pm
One of the highlights of last year's Bridgetown Comedy Festival was the incredibly funny James Adomian. He's a gifted mimic and at his best when doing characters, and looks at everything through a sharp, relevant, satirical lens.

So this Sunday is our only early-2013 chance to see him, Portland!
He'll be at Funny Over Everything at the Hollywood Theatre at 8pm on Sunday night. This is one of Portland's best showcases, bringing in some of the most interesting comedians in the country for a show that's only $10. Ten bucks! And you can afford the beer and popcorn there, too!
Whether he's imitating Gary Busey, George W. Bush, Jesse Ventura, or any of the other hundreds of characters he's got, the man is hilarious.
Feature act Ryan Conner has an easygoing, storytelling style that's really friendly and positive but relentless in calling bullshit on bullshit.
Check out the show and you'll also get to see local favorites Ian Karmel, Shane Torres and Sean Jordan. For just ten bucks! So pace yourself when you're at your Super Ground Bowl Hog Day party, and make sure you get to this show.
And until then, watch this:

Stay away from tobacco, khaini, beedi and smoking products. Having sex with more than one partner can increase the risk of human papilloma virus infection. Consult a doctor if there is pain in the lining of the jaw or change in its color or any kind of lump in the mouth. If such symptoms are seen, check with Dentist, Enchi and Oral Surgeon.
The incidence of cervical cancer in women has increased in the recent past. Human papilloma virus is the cause of cervical cancer.

Be careful if you have cough, mucus or blood for a long time. Difficulty in breathing, chest pain can also be a symptom of cancer. To avoid this, stay away from tobacco and consult a doctor if you see such symptoms.
Colorectal cancer is also called colon cancer. People whose family members have had colorectal cancer are at risk of this cancer. Consuming less fiber in the diet, working in one place for hours, diabetes, smoking and alcohol increase the risk of colon cancer. Consult a doctor if there is constipation, diarrhea or changes in the color of the stool.
Along with cancer, it is very important to be aware about its diet. There are many such food items in our kitchen, which help us in fighting a serious disease like cancer. It is called Anti Cancer Diet or Food. Rich vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are found in these foods, which can protect against cancer. Let us tell you today, about the anti cancer diet.
Vitamins, minerals and fibers are found in berries. Scientists have included it in the anti-cancer diet because of its antioxidant properties and health benefits. You can include other berries in your diet including berries, blueberries, strawberries and cranberries.
Leafy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and kale contain many nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese. Apart from this, these vegetables also contain sulforaphane, which has anti-cancer properties.
According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, all nuts are beneficial for preventing cancer, but scientists have described walnuts as more beneficial than other nuts. Walnuts contain a substance called pedunculgin, which the body metabolizes to form urolithin. Urolithins are compounds that bind to estrogen receptors and may play a role in preventing breast cancer.
Legumes, such as beans, peas and lentils, are high in fiber, which may help reduce a person's risk of cancer. Apart from this, they also give fiber and folate to the body, which can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Green tea is very beneficial for our body. Antioxidants are found in it, so it has been included as an anti-cancer diet. Green tea is helpful in preventing cancer of liver, breast, pancreas, lung, esophageal and skin.
Tomatoes get their red color from lycopene, which is a strong antioxidant. According to some research, lycopene helps keep prostate and lung cancer away by up to 18 percent.
Allium vegetables include garlic, onions, scallions, chives and leeks. All these vegetables contain the antioxidant quercetin, which is helpful in fighting cancer. Garlic and other allium foods may protect against stomach and colorectal cancer.
