This lesson is my ABSOLUTE favorite and I make sure to teach it every year. I love how it makes an abstract, long and boring topic into an engaging, hands on activity.
I only wish I could take credit for it!
A few years ago I found a lesson on Proteacher on how to use Play-Doh to model the writing process and what is required in each step of the writing process. The original poster of the idea was trexteach. Click here to see the post with the lesson included. You must be a member to download the lesson, but it is free. I HIGHLY recommend joining the site for all the wonderful, FREE resources teachers offer freely.
Then I let students choose one small container of play-doh. This pack was about $15 at Wal-Mart for 24 tubs AND a paper plate. This is important for later!
Before letting students go wild I tell them they MUST pull off a small ball and set it own the lid of their tub. It is off limits and can not be used until I say.
Then I bring them back to the back to the carpet and explain that we will now be drafting our creature. When we draft the creature that means we are building the basic shape and getting our ideas molded to life. Just like when writing, we draft to get our ideas down. They may only USE THEIR play-doh. No sharing of colors. Then I send them back to their seats to draft their creature ON the paper plate.
After a few minutes of building I call students back to the carpet. I explain we are going to revise the creature or make changes to the creature. We do this to make the creature more interesting to our audience. One way to do this is to add to our creature, just like when we write we may add details to our story. Students can use other children's colors by sharing and pinching off pieces from the small ball sitting on the lid from earlier. I also encourage the students to add details using their pencils.
After a few minutes of work time, I call kids back to the carpet. This is the part they hate! I explain revision is more than adding details, it can also be taking away unnecessary details that do not make the creature or story interesting. They have to take away SOMETHING off their creature and set it off the plate. See, told ya hey hate this!
Then I call students back to the carpet and explain that we are going to edit our creatures. This means that we fix any mistakes. It could be an arm that is too short or is about to break off.
For the final step, publishing, I ask students to write the title of the creature on the paper plate and clean up an play-doh scraps. I relate this to neatly recopying the draft and adding a title to the draft if the student had not done that yet.
Then I make sure every student's name is write dark and in view (that what all the black smudges are- names. I blacked them out for student privacy) and photograph each plate. Then, at a later date, students tape the photograph into their writer's notebooks and write a story about their creature!
They LOVE it and really GET the writing process.
I am going to make sure to finish posting pictures from my classroom AND answer Guided Reading FAQs sometime soon. If you would have a question about guided reading please click on the picture below and leave a comment. I will try to address it in my post!
Love this! I wonder if my 6th graders would like that or if it's too young for them… Actually they would prob love to play with playdoh! Thanks for the lesson idea!
Love this! Thanks for sharing 🙂 Pro teacher was my go to place before I discovered blogging. Wonderful ideas there too!
What a great lesson! I can't wait to use it! Thanks for sharing!
This is the most amazing, creative lesson for teaching the writing process! I absolutely love it and can't wait to use your lesson in my classroom!


Cairns sits at about 17 degrees below the equator, creating a humid and tropical climate the is enjoyed all year around. It's considered to be a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and water temperatures stay in the mid to high twenties all year. The summer months (December - February) are considered to be the wet season, and also has the hottest temperatures, when the winter is dry season and has the coolest temperatures of the year.
Summer brings the wet season to Cairns, and you'll see both temperatures and humidity at the highest during this time.
Temperatures begin to drop during the Autumn months, and the rainfall begins to decrease. Both day and night are still hot, but can remain windy through to winter.
Winter is perhaps considered to be the most enjoyable month, with tourists peaking in this season. Humidity is at its lowest during winter, with little to no rainfall, making for perfect vacation weather.
Humidity begins to build again during the spring months, with temperatures averaging 25 degrees C. With Spring comes new life, and up here in Cairns, you can visit the great coral spawning in November.


The joy springs up immediately from opener 'Parallel Lines'. Brett Hirst's bass harmonics grow into a Afro-Cuban groove driven by the drums and percussion of Hamish Stuart and Fabian Hevia. A bristling ensemble section opens out to a Greening solo – joyous of course – and Andrew Robson's snaky alto.
'Hazara' is the centrepiece of the album – spiritually and musically – as Greening gained inspiration during a period of 'deadlock' from the novel, The Kite Runner. The asymmetrical 17/8 groove is rendered surprisingly symmetrical by the band's authority. The mood becomes one of a dance, a proud dance, a quiet celebration of the victory of living another day. Gary Daley's accordion sounds like women's voices, Paul Cutlan's bass clarinet like a sirocco.
The accordion is also used, now in cluster-chords, to introduce the languid ballad 'Sleeping Beauty', which lulls us with watercolours of Tasmanian greens and olive-blacks and mist breathing off a river's silver surface.
In Phillip Johnston's spoken intro to the recording, he says 'Here we are firmly rooted in the present; one foot in the future and maybe an elbow in the past…', echoing the kind of spiritually-centred mindfulness by which James Greening lives (and plays) and which informs the heart and deep soul of Tam O'Shanter Tales.


Night vision systems become a critical component. The ability to see in nighttime conditions allows military maneuvers and a potential advantage to the forces equipped with this technology. The night vision systems rely on the very low light levels of starlight and night sky illumination to help image the targeted scene and its surroundings. When ground transport vehicles need to operate in total darkness, drivers employ enhanced vision systems Driver-Eye to navigate covertly. Car is driven with headlights on without lights on at night, with using on roof-mounted system night vision, our new control navigation Driver-Eye.
Driver-Eye has the additional advantage of providing images that are similar to what is seen with naked eye. Vehicles must be equipped with systems Driver-Eye running lights they are easily tracked by other vehicle operators, such as in a nighttime convoy situation. Armored vehicles receive an important defensive capability by using covert illumination infrared night vision systems to alert operators to actions.

Mortgage Professionals Canada has renewed calls for changes to the federal government's stress tests, arguing they pose serious risk to the housing market and overall economy.
The association's annual report on the state of the mortgage market, authored by its Chief Economist Will Dunning, followed up on previously published concerns over the federal government's mortgage stress tests.
It noted that housing markets across Canada slowed significantly in 2018 due to a combination of higher mortgage stress tests, higher interest rates and other policy changes that have "constrained" home buying.
The report notes that resale activity fell an annualized 11% in 2018 and was down 15% from the all-time high in 2016.
"The mortgage stress tests are raising the risks to house prices and the economy of Canada," Dunning wrote in the report, adding that falling house prices pose one of the greatest threats to a modern economy due to impaired consumer confidence.
Not only that, he says regulations intended to remove risk from the housing market are actually having an opposite effect by driving a greater share of buyers to alternative lenders that are not federally regulated, and that often come with higher interest rates.
It is estimated the stress tests introduced in 2016 and 2018 will have affected upwards of 200,000 Canadian families by the October 2019 election, by way of reducing their home-buying power or preventing them from purchasing altogether.
Relaxing rules to make it easier for mortgage borrowers with small, alternative lenders to transfer to more liquid and lower-cost lenders.
In an interview with the Toronto Star, Dunning said the issue isn't the stress test itself, but how it's being implemented.
"There is nothing wrong with stress testing mortgages," he said.
The issue with the current stress tests is that they don't take into account the fact a borrower's income will likely rise about two percent annually over the period of the five-year loan.
The current stress test for uninsured mortgages (those with a 20%+ down payment) is the greater of the Bank of Canada's five-year benchmark rate (currently 5.34%) or the borrower's contract mortgage rate plus two percentage points.
Housing is expected to be a key issue in the lead-up to this October's federal election.
The first hint of that came on Tuesday, when Finance Minister Bill Morneau said during a pre-budget event that the government plans to look into ways to make homebuying more affordable for first-time buyers.
He noted the government has already tried to increase the supply of affordable housing and control runaway home prices in the country's largest markets by introducing the stress tests.
Hasn't there been many reports in BC about the various loop-holes in blind-trusts coupled with unverified income from foreign investors looking for mortgages, and laundering of drug money through casinos that perhaps has inflated the value of homes? Why the general population goes against the wisdom of "don't over-commit yourself" (aka don't sell your kids future for the now) is beyond me, but I see the folks in New Brunswick understand that sentiment – their mortgage to income ratios are rational.
If people want to go to the unregulated lenders, then educate people and bring those lenders into the fold. The legit lenders and banks aren't at risk because they are buying as much insurance as the gov will sell them and passing it directly on the the consumer.
Don't say we need to water down the guidelines because they are too effective for honest people. Deal with the root cause problems and not the symptoms.
Here's an idea… lower your prices homeowners!
Aw sorry did your 200%-300% gain turn into a 150-250% gain? Well boo hoo!
I agree with all three comments above. I beleive, It's irresponsible to go away with the current Stress Test, we are all professionals and we know the rates will be much higher in 5yrs, renewal time. Do the math, the payments can be a disaster for many. Do the math, if 2% higher, the paymnets will be nearly 20% higher, not good for many families. According to the last report from CMHC we are now in a balance market.
The stress test is more of a reality check on what buyers can ACTUALLY afford. They want to make sure that if and WHEN rates increase that people can afford what they have purchased.
To those who purchased before the stress test at the max they could afford, good luck to you… when should you EVER go out and buy something that is the MAX you qualify for? We had families in the first tax bracket purchasing half million dollar homes? Why? Because the bank (which is a business!) said you could afford it? No, they are going to increase rates and make lots of money of those who took out massive mortgages.
Fore the stress test should be bank rate +1, not +2. Also realistically rates do not need to go higher inflation is not overheated. Technology will keep interest rates low for a long time and keep them low. We will not see 5-6% interest rates ever again.

Q: Auto-generated pretty permalink not using title since 4.4 update I have pretty permalinks enabled. Now when I save a draft and/or publish a post, half the time it just uses the post ID as the permalink instead of the title. This started happening after the 4.4 updated.
Any ideas for how to troubleshoot this?

A: As far as I know, this is standard behavior for drafts. I've used pretty permalinks on every page I've built, and drafts are always directed to the "ugly" URL. If you publish the post, the actual permalink will be set as expected.
Side note: When you edit the draft, you should see the actual permalink listed at the top of the page (small print, just above the title). Even clicking on that will direct you to the "ugly" link.
I suspect it's tied to the fact that you are viewing a post preview specifically.

Brian Mallman, Still Connected. Open Mind Art Space. Photo Credit Lorraine Heitzman.
Brian Mallman is curious, in both senses of the word. He possesses a keen curiosity about his neighbors and all sorts of overlapping communities, and he might just be a little bit curious, himself. With an almost naïve positivity, he believes in the strength of community and wants world peace. And he believes that art is a conduit for good. How crazy is that?
His interests and accomplishments are many. Mallman founded NELAart, an art organization best known for more than ten years of successful Second Saturday Gallery Nights that encompass Northeast Los Angeles galleries in Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Cypress Park, Glassell Park, Elysian Valley and Lincoln Heights. He also masterminded the Play Music on The Porch Day, an event that asks residents to get together with friends on a given day and play music together, (on your porch!) that now boasts participants in seventeen countries. He has given a TEDx Talk about his philosophy towards his social practice before the term was popularized, and he makes art. All of these endeavors foster and depend upon community and that is an underlying theme in his current show, Still Connected, at Open Mind Art Space.
Mallman's studio practice is focused on drawings, and this body of work is no exception. The thirteen graphite drawings on wood panels are of fingers in all sorts of configurations. Each drawing is delicately and meticulously rendered while maintaining a minimalist and surreal approach. Fingers and hands, both realistically represented and impossibly truncated and mutated, are depicted interacting with each other. Strings bind, pull and connect them in an elaborate cat's cradle game. There is an oddly tangible quality to the fingers and their activities; they strive, search, intertwine and reach out towards one another, personifying our humanity. Although Mallman creates knotty, messy entanglements, they are nevertheless gentle and somewhat didactic, like diagrams for an instruction manual.
Although these drawings are a continuation of a previous series, the artist made them in response to the political events provoked by this year's inauguration. A trip to Death Valley changed his perspective. While meeting people from around the world, all reveling in the natural beauty of our country, a paradigm shift occurred and Mallman's outlook changed to a more hopeful state. These drawings address his feeling that despite the damage inflicted from current affairs, our collective humanity outweighs temporary politics.
The sentiments behind Mallman's work are undoubtedly sincere and his visual language is an apt metaphor to communicate his ideals, however the imagery suffers from a coolness that depletes their emotional effect. Previous series seem more grounded and concrete with a tonal range that is lacking in Still Connected. These works might benefit from a more physical presence but in these times it is heartening to find work that is hopeful and Mallman's efforts deserve acknowledgement and be given consideration.

GOP Governors Eyeing 2016 Presidential Runs Wrestle With Medicaid Expansion
The health law's expansion of the low-income health insurance program was a hot topic at this week's Republican Governors Association meeting in Florida. Meanwhile, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock unveiled his Medicaid plan for the state.
The Wall Street Journal: Republican Governors Set Sights on 2016 Presidential Race
Five of the six governors who are considering a presidential bid appeared on a discussion panel and teased out their differences concerning immigration, Medicaid and other issues. ... The governors exploring presidential campaigns span the party's spectrum of ideology and style. During the discussion, which included the governors of Louisiana, Indiana, Wisconsin, Texas and Ohio, some of those differences emerged. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence called for repealing the 2010 health care law "lock stock and barrel." Ohio's John Kasich defended his state's decision to expand Medicaid, which has come under fire from the right. (Hook and Haddon, 11/19)
The Wall Street Journal: Christie's Strategy on National Issues: Address Some, Not Others
Mr. Christie said the Supreme Court shouldn't rule on gay marriage, instead leaving it to states to make decisions. He has supported the Keystone XL pipeline—a popular position among the Republican business base. And he has bashed the Affordable Care Act, even as New Jersey accepted a Medicaid expansion that been controversial among conservatives. (Dawsey, 11/19)
Great Falls (Mont.) Tribune: Medicaid Expansion Plan Is Unveiled
Gov. Steve Bullock on Wednesday officially unveiled a plan to expand Medicaid in Montana in a way he says will provide coverage to nearly 70,000 Montanans in a way that would contract with an insurer in a competitive process to provide coverage through private providers at negotiated rates. The plan is based on the Healthy Montana Kids program, which provides health insurance coverage to children who meet certain guidelines. (Wipf, 11/19)

Reuters: U.S. States Get More, Spend More On Medicaid Under Obamacare
One part of the Affordable Care Act is going according to plan, with U.S. states receiving and spending more money on the Medicaid health insurance program, a report released by the National Association of State Budget Officers on Thursday showed. States run Medicaid, which serves families who have low incomes, and receive partial reimbursements from the federal government. The healthcare overhaul known as Obamacare allowed more people to enroll in Medicaid and also gave states 90 percent to 100 percent reimbursements for new enrollees. (11/19)

Stanislaus State sees increase in rapes, drops in other crimes
The number of rapes and burglaries increased in 2014 at California State University, Stanislaus, but the campus saw a decrease robberies, aggravated assaults, auto thefts and alcohol and drug related arrests. - photo by Journal file photo
The overall crime rate at California State University, Stanislaus saw a decline in the past year, but the number of forcible sexual assaults was on the rise, according to the university's annual Campus Security Report.
At Stanislaus State, the number of sexual assaults rose from two in 2013 to seven in 2014, but University officials believe the increase is more likely born of new practices and standards that make it easier for victims to report sexual attacks, rather than a straight increase in the number of assaults.
"Even one sexual assault is too many, but the campus community has worked hard to create a culture that empowers people to be safe and encourages victims to come forward," said Andy Roy, the University's chief of police.
Roy cited the student-led Warrior Watch program, an anti-violence video produced by and featuring athletes, and the hiring of a confidential victim advocate this past year as examples of actions taken to empower and support the University community. In addition, the University's Title IX compliance officer meets with those who want to discuss a matter of sexual violence, stalking, domestic violence or an array of other concerns.
All of the seven rapes reported last year occurred in the campus' residential dorms and as of yet, there have been no arrests made in any of the seven cases, Roy said.
Last year, California became the first to require colleges and universities to apply an "affirmative consent" or "yes means yes" standard when investigating campus sexual assault claims. That policy says sexual activity is only considered consensual when both partners clearly state their willingness to participate through "affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement" at every stage.
"Stanislaus State, with more than 10,000 members in our campus community, remains a very safe campus," Roy said. "The data bear that out, but even more important, the attitudes and helpfulness of our campus community bear that out."
There was only one other Part I crime that saw an increase at the University in 2014. The number of burglaries rose from three in 2013 to four in 2014. The campus saw zero murders and manslaughters last year. The number of robberies fell from two in 2013 to zero in 2014; aggravated assaults, zero in 2014, compared with one in 2013; motor vehicle thefts, down from four to two.
The University had zero incidents of domestic violence, stalking and dating violence last year. In 2013, the campus had one incident each of these types of crimes.
The number of liquor law violations at the University grew in 2014. The University Police Department made two arrests and 91 referrals for liquor law violations in 2014, compared to one arrest and 69 referrals the year prior. The number of drug violations decreased from one arrest and six referrals in 2013, to one arrest and zero referrals. The University had two arrests for weapon violations, up from zero the year before.
The California State University, Stanislaus Police Department employs 12 full-time, sworn police officers, two 911 Dispatchers, and two Community Service Officers. Their primary jurisdiction is the University campus, but they also patrol surrounding neighborhoods and work with the Turlock Police Department as part of a mutual aid agreement. University officers have direct radio communications with the city police, fire department, and ambulance services to facilitate rapid response in any emergency situation.

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan's foreign ministry has confirmed the country's air force shot down an unmanned Iranian drone in southwestern Baluchistan province.
The Pakistani Air Force initially declined comment, after reports emerged on Tuesday that one of its jets shot down the drone. But on Wednesday, foreign ministry spokesman, Nafees Zakaria, released a statement on the matter.
He says the drone was downed on Monday as it flew up to 4 kilometers, or 2.5 miles, inside Pakistani territory, in the Panjgur sector close to the Pakistani-Iranian border.
Zakaria says Pakistani authorities have shared the information with Iran about striking down the drone.
Iran has expressed concern over militants operating along the Pakistani border and warned that the country was willing to strike militants inside Pakistan — remarks that drew strong protests from Islamabad.

Review: The Wattle Seed Inn by Leonie Kelsall
21 Jul 2021 5 Comments
by shelleyrae @ Book'd Out in Australian Reading, Australian Women Writers, ★★★★, Challenge Reading, Fiction, General, Provided by Publisher/Author, Womens Fiction & Romance Tags: #AWW2021, Australian Reading, Leonie Kelsall
Title: The Wattle Seed Inn
Author: Leonie Kelsall
Published: 5th July 2021, Allen & Unwin
Status: Read July 2021 courtesy Allen & Unwin
To prove a point to her ex-fiancé, whom is also her business partner, Gabrielle Moreau decides that transforming the pub they bought as an investment in the tiny community of Wurruldi into an upmarket B&B would be an ideal project. She plans to be hands on but the building is in worse shape than she expected, and Gabby has no real idea where to start.
Hayden Paech dismisses Gabby as a stuck-up city girl from the moment she walks into the pub at Settlers Bridge, not that it matters given he believes he is no longer has anything to offer to any woman. But the more time he spends in Gabby's company, particularly as he begins work on the Wurruldi Hotel, the more he wonders if the future he thought he had lost is possible after all.
The Wattle Seed Inn is the second heartwarming contemporary rural fiction novel from Leonie Kelsall set in the Murray River region of South Australia.
Kelsall explores familiar themes such as love, friendship, forgiveness and loss in The Wattle Seed Inn, and also issues such as self acceptance, trust and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Romance is still the key element of the story though, and I enjoyed the way in which the author developed the relationship between Gabby and Hayden.
Gabby and Hayden are drawn together in part because they have experienced the tragic loss of a loved one for which they have held themselves responsible, and recognise that wound in each other, even without knowing the details. The pain is much fresher for Hayden, who also carries physical scars as a daily reminder, and experiences panic attacks. I thought Kelsall's portrayal of his PTSD was sympathetic and believable, and the inclusion of Hayden's service dog, Trigger, and his role in supporting him was illuminating. Gabby seems to have it all -wealth, privilege and beauty- but she too carries emotional scars, and harbours hidden insecurities that make her wary of relationships.
The addition of a third perspective in the novel was somewhat of a surprise. Ilse can't clearly recall how the Wurruldi Hotel, that has been owned by her family for generations, came to be so run down, but she is happy that her home is finally getting the attention it needs, and is eager to offer Gabby advice on how to restore it to its former glory. She drifts around the hotel recalling happier times when her husband was alive, but is also haunted by a sense of something being badly wrong.
I enjoyed the connections Kelsall makes to her debut novel, The Farm at Peppertree Crossing, with the main characters playing a small role in this story. Matt and Roni are two of Hayden's group of friends which also includes Sharni, who is the first to welcome Gabby to the area, secretly hoping that Gabby could be her ticket off the dairy farm.
Written with warmth, humour and sincerity, offering appealing characters and an engaging story, The Wattle Seed Inn is a lovely read, sure to satisfy fans of the genre.
Previous Review: The Newcomer by Laura Elizabeth Woollett Next Review: Lives Like Mine by Eva Verde
This sounds like a lovely, heartwarming read — and it's great that she includes PTSD (and more) and does it well.
This is a new author to me and book I have not heard of, but it sounds really good and one that I would be interested in. I have read books with similar themes and enjoyed them. Is this going to be a series?
There is a loose connection between her first and second book, and I imagine the third will be similar
I like your review on this book. I also like the cover. Seems very warm and friendly.

Stuart Scott Jiu-Jitsu & MMA Battles With Cancer
kitt canaria
ESPN anchor Stuart Scott jiu-jitsu battles against cancer as he continues to live his life to the fullest. Inside a mixed martial arts studio, Stuart Scott showed interviewers the scar that doctors have left after they performed emergency procedures on his organs. He was wearing a shirt that had read "Everyday I Fight", something that has come to represent the best of this man's perseverance and legacy. He has said that the scar was a sign of life, and that his fight continues, no matter how bad the situation may be. He remains optimistic about the future and his ability to overcome obstacles.
Stuart Scott going through chemotherapy
Stuart Scott has had over fifty eight infusions of chemotherapy, and he has recently switched to pills in order to alleviate some of the stress that comes with the treatment. Despite the doctors' best efforts, the drugs have not yet fully stopped the cancer that had first struck in 2007, when he had his appendix removed. After a positive outlook, the cancer was reported to have returned approximately four years later. It came back against just last year. It seems as though every recurrence becomes more and more dire. However, despite these setbacks, Scott continues to return to his career with the ESPN in order to ensure that his private fight becomes known. He wants to help inspire others with his own life story, and he dedicates himself to physical fitness and well being every day in the hopes that soon, the cancer will be gone entirely from his system.
Despite friends, colleagues, and family members asking him about his condition, he has said that he does not know his prognosis, and that he is not interested in it. He does not know what stage he is in and it will not matter because he does not want it to affect the way he approaches his life. It would cause him more stress than he needs, and he instead opts to continue with his fitness goals and strategies, hoping to live his life to its full potential, no matter the effects of the cancer. On the job, there is no way to tell that he even has cancer. He continues to engage his career with the same liveliness and excitement that his fans have come to love about him. With his mixed martial arts routine and the high intensity cross training workouts that he engages in, he aims to restore his strength and energy in order to keep up with the chemotherapy.

We've had plenty of iPhone 6 leaks so far. Apart from the launch details of the upcoming flagship, these include pictures of alleged internal components belonging to the device. Ranging from Sapphire display panels to the fingerprint sensors on the device to photos allegedly of the battery and even the logic board of the device, we've almost seen it all. Well, you can add one more thing to that list. French site nowhereelse.fr seems to have gotten its hands on the home button parts allegedly belonging to the iPhone 6. This includes both the 4.7 inch and the 5.5 inch iPhone 'Air' phablet.
The parts spotted by NWE sport quite a few differences when compared to previous part leaks. The parts pictured above are not the only parts spotted. Other differences spotted included separation of proximity and light sensors are now disconnected from the photo sensor flex for the iPhone 6. As far as the authenticity of the components goes, the product number on them s the same for previous parts and leaks. For those curious, the serial number which belongs to Apple is 821-2200-06.
In addition, design for the home button cable is different for the trio of iPhone 5S, 4.7″ iPhone 6 and the 5.5″ iPhone Phablet. While the home button cable on the 5S looped with 180 degrees, the one on the iPhone 6 will be straight. As for the iPhone Air, the cable for the phablet will be slightly curved. Apple's expected to launch the iPhone 6 this September and release it on its retail stores on October 14th.

De fluitspeler (Frans: Le fifre) is de titel van een schilderij van Édouard Manet uit 1866. Tegenwoordig wordt het tentoongesteld in het Musée d'Orsay in Parijs.

Voorstelling
Verschillende onderdelen van het Franse leger hadden in de negentiende eeuw kinderen in dienst, de enfants de la troupe, die werden opgeleid tot soldaten. Naast militaire vaardigheden leerden deze jongens vaak ook een instrument te bespelen. Majoor Hippolyte Lejosne, een vriend van Manet, nam een van deze jongens mee naar het atelier van de schilder om daar te poseren met fluit en in het uniform van de keizerlijke garde van Napoleon III.

Hoewel de Spaanse schilderkunst al langer een grote invloed op Manet uitoefende, bezocht hij Spanje en de collectie van het Prado pas in 1865 voor de eerste keer. Daar raakte hij met name onder de indruk van een serie portretten die Diego Velázquez geschilderd had van acteurs en narren aan het hof, waaronder het Portret van Pablo de Valladolid. In De fluitspeler gebruikt Manet net als Velázquez een monochrome achtergrond, waarin nauwelijks ruimtelijke verwijzingen te vinden zijn. De korte schaduw bij de hiel van de jongen is het enige dat een ondergrond verraadt. Het geheel maakt een tweedimensionale indruk, wat nog versterkt wordt door de zwarte contouren rond de vormen. Daarnaast gebruikt de schilder grote contrasterende kleurvakken, zonder veel details, wat met name in de zwarte bovenkleding duidelijk opvalt.

Na het schandaal dat zijn Olympia had veroorzaakt in het jaar ervoor, hoopte Manet de jury van de Parijse salon van 1866 gunstiger te stemmen door De fluitspeler samen met het Portret van Philibert Rouvière als Hamlet in te dienen. Beide werken werden afgewezen, maar wekten wel de interesse van de jonge Émile Zola. Hij schreef een serie artikelen ter verdediging van de schilder in de krant L'Événement.

Wanted offender is brought to justice after Nottinghamshire police tracked him down to Portugal
Pictured is Ben Harwood, 29, of of Saville Street, in Blidworth, who has been jailed for five years after he was found guilty of possessing a gun, a bladed article and drugs.
Published: 17:14 Saturday 24 August 2019
A wanted offender who was tracked down to Portugal by Nottinghamshire police has been jailed for five years for a firearm offence.
Ben Harwood, 29, of Saville Street, in Blidworth, was found guilty at Nottingham Crown Court, on August 19, of possessing a handgun, possessing a bladed article and for possessing class A drug cocaine.
Pictured is Nottingham Crown Court.
Police were originally called to Ravensdale Lane, in Mansfield, on May 30, 2017, following reports of a man making threats and producing a machete from his shorts.
Harwood was arrested in possession of the bladed article and a search of his house recovered a handgun hidden under the floorboards in the bathroom, according to police.
Harwood was also arrested for possessing this weapon and also for possessing a quantity of class A drugs.
He was released under investigation but he fled to Portugal, according to police.
Police stated that a European arrest warrant was issued and in February 2019 he was arrested and brought back to Nottinghamshire to face justice.
Nottinghamshire police confirmed Harwood was sentenced for five years for the firearms offence, six months for the bladed article and two months for the drugs with each sentence to be served concurrently.
Detective Inspector Gayle Hart said: "We are pleased with the result this week and to have Harwood behind bars.
"The sentencing result shows that the force will continue to pursue offenders for serious offences, wherever they may be, especially when weapons are involved."

New Trailer for Parallel Lines, Five Short Films From Carl Erik Rinsch, Jake Scott, Greg Fay, Johnny Hardstaff, and Hi-Sim
Posted on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
A few weeks ago we wrote a piece about an upcoming collaboration between Philips and five filmmakers from Ridley Scott Associates, called Parallel Lines. RSA was asked to create a series of groundbreaking short films in a genre of their choice, using "the same unifying theme." RSA directors submitted forty-five treatments and Philips selected five it believed were most ground-breaking: Jake Scott, Greg Fay, Johnny Hardstaff, Carl Erik Rinsch, and Hi-Sim.
A few of these filmmakers have been profiled on the site in the past. Carl was originally attached to direct a remake/prequel of Alien, but that fell through, and Jake Scott guest blogged for /Film during Sundance, where his feature film Welcome to the Rileys premiered at the fest. I'm interested to see what these filmmakers can do with a narrative too big for a commercial or music video.
Philips has released a new one-minute trailer for the project, which shows a lot more footage than the previous teaser. The trailer also reveals the single piece of dialogue which became the basis for the five short film projects. Watch it now, after the jump.
Teaser Trailer: Five Short Films From RSA's Carl Erik Rinsch, Jake Scott, Greg Fay, Johnny Hardstaff, and Hi-Sim
Posted on Friday, February 26th, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
You might remember Adam Berg's Dark Knight-Inspired Short Film Carousel which offered an exploration into one single frozen moment of time in a robbery gone wrong in one Hard Boiled-inspired continuous tracking shot. The Philips-funded short won the Film Grand Prix Winner: at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.
Well Philips is hoping to recreate that magic, and this time has commissioned five filmmakers from Ridley Scott Associates to create a series of groundbreaking short films in a genre of their choice. All of the films feature the same unifying theme. RSA directors submitted forty-five treatments and Philips selected five it believed were most ground-breaking. The films explore the most popular genres of filmmaking including drama, action, animation, sci-fi and thriller, and were shot on location in Uruguay, London, Moscow, China and South Africa.
The project is entitled Parallel Lines, and the five directors are: Jake Scott, Greg Fay, Johnny Hardstaff, Carl Erik Rinsch, and Hi-Sim. A few of these filmmakers have been profiled on the site in the past. Carl was originally attached to direct a remake/prequel of Alien, but that fell through, and Jake Scott guest blogged for /Film during Sundance, where his feature film Welcome to the Rileys premiered at the fest. I'm interested to see what these filmmakers can do with a narrative too big for a commercial or music video.

So, if you read these or look at anything aside from the Nuzlocke comics, I've been gone for quite a while.
Well, after almost 3 years of absence I'm back and ready to work! Not only on Hardcase McCorman, but I'll be continuing Bern: Platinum Hard Mode, as well as (hopefully) some more professional work in the near future!
I'm thinking of revamping my Tumblr as well, if not outright getting a new one, as well as getting a Patreon and doing comissions. Lastly, I'm gonna be updating Hardy every TUESDAY as well as FRIDAY, to make up for lost time and get me on track.
Thanks for following my work, and look forward to hearing more from me soon!
Just a head's up, the page for today might not be posted, as I've had a surprisingly busy week and today I'm seeing an old friend for the first time in a while. If it doesn't go up, it should be ready by this Saturday or Sunday.
Welcome to the Papercut Tavern!
For those who don't know, I've been part of a small collective of cartoonists known as the Papercut Tavern, and we launched our site last weekend!
Hardcase McCorman will be displayed there, with new gray-tones added to the first 30 or so pages to make it consistent with the later material. I'll add these same page to this site once the "Seeing Red" arc is complete. In addition, I will eventually be doing more shorts and possible collabs that will appear on PT as well.
Also, be sure to keep an eye out for Revenant, the new comic I'll be drawing with writer Josh Gorfain! The first six pages have been inked and the remaining 14-15 pages are in the rough pencil stages. You can find out more info about the comic if you follow Josh's Twitter account.
Thanks to being on PT, I'll also be finishing Hardy pages much earlier than I have before, so don't expect to see an update 2 minutes before midnight.
Page 55 is inked and ready to go, but for some reason, I'm having trouble uploading it. I'm posting this in case it isn't up by today. Unless the whole site and my computer crash, it should be up by tomorrow.
Just a heads up, there will not be a new page this week, due partially to me going down south for the holidays, and me not being smart enough to work on an extra page for a buffer. I'll be sure to do an extra page sometime during the week to make up for it, like I did the last time.
So for the first time in quite a while, I finally have a buffer going on! The next two comics should update automatically over the next two weeks while I'm down in Virginia for Thanksgiving and stranded from modern technology. Well, at least a scanner and Photoshop.
So yeah, apparently when I just updated, everything I worked on was reset, and I have to re-upload the comics from day 1. Thanks Comicpress, my site's looking great. And thank you for not including a warning or anything. Really, I don't know what I'd do without you.


Visitors view works of art at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
Tourists also named cultural treasure the third-best museum in the world.
The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg has once again been voted the best museum in Europe and, this year, has additionally been named the third-best in the world, according to TripAdvisor.
"This year the State Hermitage Museum repeated the success of 2014 and became not only the best museum in Russia and Europe, but also one of the three world leaders. The winners were chosen through a specially developed algorithm that considered the quantity and quality of reviews and the museums' rankings in various countries based on information gathered in the last 12 months," according to a statement from the Hermitage press service.
In their reviews, foreign visitors called the Hermitage "one of the main reasons to visit Russia and St. Petersburg."
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York topped this year's Top-10 list of world museums, followed by the Art Institute of Chicago.
The Hermitage, an enormous palatial complex and former residence of the Russian tsars, was built in the second half of the 18th century by the decree of Peter the Great's daughter Elizaveta. She wanted it to eclipse all the royal palaces of Europe, something that, visitors say, it does. No other palace in the world has an interior that contains so much gilding, marble, precious and semiprecious stones.
In addition to the splendors of the building itself, the Hermitage is the home of one of the world's greatest art collections, which began with the personal collection of Catherine the Great. After the 1917 revolution, a public museum was opened in the palace, presenting the world's cultural heritage from ancient times to the first quarter of the 20th century.

Q: How to filter by month, day, year with Pandas I create the DataFrame with:
df = pandas.read_csv("data.csv", sep=';', parse_dates = 1, dayfirst = True)
I then get the following results:
                   Qty     System_created             Total
0                   2  2014-10-14 08:13:46.000         21.76
1                   1  2014-10-14 08:13:46.000          4.16
2                   2  2014-10-14 08:30:46.000         27.90
3                   1  2014-10-14 08:30:46.000          4.95
4                   1  2014-10-14 08:30:46.000          4.95
5                   2  2014-11-05 11:15:47.000         21.76
6                   1  2014-11-05 11:15:48.000          3.32

But I do not know how to filter by month(or year, day, hour etc...). Something like df[df["System_created"].day] would be ideal. Is that possible?

A: So long as your pandas version is 0.15 or higher then the following would work assuming your dtype is already a datetime:
In [167]:

df[df.System_created.dt.day == 5]
Out[167]:
       Qty      System_created  Total
index
5        2 2014-11-05 11:15:47  21.76
6        1 2014-11-05 11:15:48   3.32

So basically the dt attribute allows you to access the components of your datetime to perform the comparisons you desire for filtering

VP Pence at CUFI: US Military Gearing Up for War on Radical Islam
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz July 10, 2019 , 2:32 pm
"I will bless those who bless you And curse him that curses you; And all the families of the earth Shall bless themselves by you." Genesis 12:3 (The Israel Bible™)
VP Mike Pence addresses CUFI 2019 (courtesy: JNS)
In his address to the summit for Christians United for Israel (CUFI) in Washington D.C. on Monday, Vice President Mike Pence gave a rousing and positive speech describing the unbreakable bond between Israel and the U.S. In marked contrast to the previous administration, Pence issued an unmistakable challenge, saying that a newly strengthened military would focus on its primary enemy: radical Islam.
Loving Israel: An American Tradition
Pence was enthusiastically received by what he called "the largest pro-Israel grassroots organization in the world."
His description of CUFI is accurate as the organization currently has more than six million members, making it, as Pence noted, the largest pro-Israel group in the world, dwarfing all the Zionist Jewish groups combined. There are now arguably more Christians supporting Israel via CUFI than there are Jews in the U.S.
Noting that the gathering was just a few days after the nation celebrated its independence on the 4th of July, "The people of Israel have been at the very heart of the American people," stating that supporting Israel was "great American tradition."
Pence referred to President Trump as "a man that history has already proven to be the greatest friend of the Jewish people and the state of Israel ever to sit in the Oval Office," a description that earned him a rousing round of applause.
Naming the Enemy: Radical Islam
The VP listed other achievements of the current administration which included building up the military.
"And this President said he would rebuild our military," Pence said."And President Donald Trump has already signed the largest increase in our national defense since the days of Ronald Reagan…We've made the strongest military in the history of the world stronger than ever before."
Pence noted that as 'the leader of the free world…we're standing up to our enemies."
In a distinct break from the Obama administration, Pence gave that enemy a specific name.
"We've taken the fight to radical Islamic terrorists, on our terms, on their soil," Pence stated unabashedly. He cited the eradication of the Islamic State (ISIS) as a result of the Trump campaign against Islamic terrorism.
"The ISIS caliphate is no more," Pence said.
Trump's Support of Israel Essential for Peace
Pence went on to detail how this administration supported Israel with military aid, by shutting down the PLO office in Washington and penalizing the Palestinian Authority for supporting terrorism, battling anti-Semitism, and by confronting the anti-Israel bias in the United Nations.
Of course, the VP cited the most significant pro-Israel move by the president: recognizing Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel and moving the embassy.
"To say that everyone in the world was against it would be an understatement," Pence said. "But President Trump is a man of his word, and he kept his words to the American people."
Pence also cited Trump's recognition of Israel sovereignty over the Golan Heights, a move he believed was necessary for peace in the region.
"[Recognizing the Golan is] in the best interest of peace, because a lasting peace can only be built on a foundation of truth," Pence said, quoting Psalms. "So, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem that those who love her will be secure. And even as we pray, we will work for peace."
The US Will Never Negotiate With Hamas
In another significant break from the previous administration, Pence stated that the Trump administration was no friend of Hamas.
"Hamas is a terrorist organization that seeks the destruction of Israel," Pence said. "And the United States will never negotiate with terrorist Hamas."
This statement stands in sharp contrast to the Obama adminstration funding Hamas while the officially designated terrorist organization rained rockets down on Israeli urban centers.
Pence addressed concerns that the yet-to-be-revealed Middle East peace plan includes aspects that will harm Israel.
"And let me assure you, while any peace will undoubtedly require compromise, you can be confident of this: The United States of America will never compromise the safety and security of the Jewish State of Israel."
Comparing Iran to Nazis
Pence went on to address President Trump's withdrawal from the Iran deal, noting that it rewarded Iran without depriving them of a nuclear weapons program. He explained that the nature of the agreement inevitably led to the current tensions between the U.S. and Iran which include Iranian attacks on oil tankers and shooting down a U.S. military surveilance drone, as well as Iran exceding limits on their uranium supplies.
In addition to these offenses, Pence blamed Iran for hating Israel.
"You know, history teaches that when authoritarian regimes breathe out vile, anti-Semitic hatred and threats of violence, that we should take them at their word," Pence said.
Pence linked the Iranian threats against Israel to Nazi Germany's attempt at genocide by describing his recent visit to death-camps in Poland.
Calling Out Democrats for Anti-Semitism
While noting that the mission of 'Never Again' is an essential aspect of supporting Israel, Pence blamed the Democratic party for sinning in that respect.
"We must never allow the memory of those lost in the Holocaust to be cheapened as a cliché to advance some left-wing political narrative," Pence said. "But sadly — sadly, in recent weeks, that's exactly what some Democrats have done in the national debate. Last month, a leading Democrat in Congress actually compared our U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention facilities to concentration camps. Her allies in Congress, the Left, and in the media, shamefully came to her defense."
Pence was referring to recent statements by freshman Congressman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) in which she equated the detention centers on the southern border with "concentration camps." Though she later redacted her statement, citing a dubious academic definition of concentration camps, her original statement included a reference to "never again," an unambiguous term used for the Holocaust.
Pence denounced her statments, saying it demonized law-enforcement officials by equating them with Nazis. Pence related recent statements by an unnamed Democrat who, when asked if the detention centers were indeed like Nazi camps in which Jews were gassed en masse, replied, "Absolutely."
"This slander of law enforcement was an insult to the 6 million killed in the Holocaust," Pence said. "And it should be condemned by every American of every political party everywhere."
Earlier in his speech, Pence thanked CUFI for working with him to combat the Boycott Divestment Sanctions Movement when he was governor of Indiana. He compared that to the current Democratic candidates running for president.
Remarkably, today, all but one Democrat running for President voted against the Combating BDS Act in the United States Senate," Pence said.
Pence decried the dire situation on the southern border while describing the efforts of the current administration to improve the plight of the people in the detention centers.
Democratic Party Now Support Anti-Semitism
Pence noted that not so long ago, support of Israel was a non-partisan issue in American politics.
"But how things have changed," Pence said. "It's astonishing to think that the party of Harry Truman, which did so much to help create the State of Israel, has been co-opted by people who promote rank, anti-Semitic rhetoric, and work to undermine the broad American consensus of support for Israel."
Pence accused Ilhan Omar, another freshman Democrat, of disseminating "anti-Semitic tropes" when she tweeted in 2102, "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."
"Well, let me say this from the heart," Pence said. "Anti-Semitism has no place in the Congress of the United States of America or anywhere in this nation. And anyone who slanders the historic alliance between the United States and Israel should not be sitting on the Foreign Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives."
Pence noted that the Democratic Party was traditionally supported by a majority of Jews. It should be noted that despite his blatantly anti-Israel policies, almost 70 percent of American Jews voted for Obama in his successful bid for reelection in 2012. Pence lamented that the party has since become a haven for anti-Semitism.
"Maybe most astonishing of all, as we talk about how times have changed," Pence said. "And the party that has been home to so many American Jews for so long recently couldn't even muster the votes to unequivocally condemn anti-Semitism in a resolution."
The Biblical Basis for the U.S. Pro-Israel Policy
In his closing remarks, Pence cited Genesis as the basis for a pro-Israel poicy.
"And we stand with Israel because we cherish that ancient promise that Americans have always cherished throughout our history: that those who bless her will be blessed," Pence said. "Today and every day, the Jewish State of Israel and all the Jewish people bear witness to God's faithfulness, as well as their own."
"God bless you all. May God bless Israel. And may God continue to bless the United States of America."

Pangolin gets soft released after being rescued from traffickers in March
by Tyler Leigh Vivier@tylerleighv Apr 28, 2020 2,635 0
Photo Credit: Lauren Beckley
Wildlife traffickers were caught with a beautiful pangolin; she was rescued and taken to the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital and is now ready for the big wild world again!
Undisclosed Location, South Africa (28 April 2020) – The Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital took in a pangolin after she was found in the clutches of wildlife traffickers. The veterinary hospital has become a leading expert in Pangolin medical treatment. With so many being found to have been trafficked, they have been forced to learn the best way to care for the fragile creatures.
The medical staff stress message that all pangolin patients are housed off-site at an undisclosed location for the protection of them as well as all the medical staff. Due to the animals being in high demand, they cannot risk anyone knowing where the animals are being treated.
The team have shared some very happy news regarding one of their latest rescues. She has been soft-released and is on her way back to the big wild world!
"In mid-March, this poached sub-adult female Temminck's ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii) was being trafficked in the illegal wildlife trade. She was confiscated by the South African Police Services and Environmental Investigators and brought to our hospital for veterinary treatment and rehabilitation.
Nearing her release, satellite and vhf telemetry units were attached and she entered the next phase of her rehabilitation on a secure, private game reserve. For the next few months, her weight and the successful acclimatisation to her new surroundings will be carefully monitored to ensure the success of this pangolin's rehabilitation and release.
Our thanks go to the African Pangolin Working Group, Humane Society International – Africa, as well as Pangolin K9 who greatly assist in ensuring the success of pangolin conservation efforts in South Africa. These photos are from her date of arrival and initial examination by Dr K.
We treat indigenous animals free of charge, relying solely on the donations and support of our community."

Meet The First Female Executive Chef At Major Food Group
Chef, Ashley Eddie is baby-faced, but don't let that fool you. This January, the 31-year-old was named the first female executive chef at Major Food Group. The company owns over 20 restaurants around the world, in cities like Hong-Kong and New York.
In its years-long history, the growing hospitality group has never designated a woman as an executive chef until now. The announcement highlights not only the glaring glass ceiling for women in the food industry but also presents an inspiring success story for a young female chef.
Eddie started working for the company as a line cook 3 years ago and now she is the Executive Chef of Major Food Group's award-winning, New York restaurant, Santina. The rising star's incredible work ethic proves that hard work and perseverance can pay off and even at 31-years-old.
She's a #girlboss who is giving us major inspiration. Learn more about Ashley Eddie's story and take a minute to define what motivates you.

Q: Path with multiple "and contains" I'm trying to scrape the URLs contained in these:

They all share the same class. Let's say I want to scrape only the website link (the second one).
Can you help me understand why the following Path is not working for that?
//a[@class="SK-FuGf" and not(contains(@href, "instagram.com")) and not(contains(@href, "tel:"))]/@href


You have to parse the stream output for the sudo prompt. At that point, you have to stream.write(password + '\n');. The alternative to doing all of that is to modify /etc/sudoers so that the logged in user can execute sudo for a specific program/script/whatever without a password.
libssh2: What to do with unsolicited data from the ssh server?


OpenSSH (Open Secure Shell) is een set computer programma's die versleutelde communicatiesessies over een computernetwerk biedt met gebruik van het SSH -protocol. Het is gecreëerd als een open alternatief voor de niet-open Secure Shell software. Het project is geleid door Theo de Raadt. Secure Shell of SSH is een netwerkprotocol dat het mogelijk maakt gegevens uit te wisselen over een veilig kanaal tussen twee computers. Het is ontwikkeld als een veilige vervanging voor telnet. Het maakt het ook mogelijk dat de gebruiker zich veilig kan aanmelden op een machine op afstand.
OpenSSH was created by the OpenBSD team as an alternative to SSH , which is now proprietary software. The OpenSSH developers claim that it is more secure than the original, due to their policy of producing clean and audited code and the fact, to which the word open in the name refers, that it is released under the open source BSD license. Although source code is available for the original SSH, various restrictions are imposed on its use and distribution, making OpenSSH a more attractive project for many software developers.
OpenSSH first appeared in OpenBSD 2.6. OpenSSH 4.3 was released on February 1, 2006 .
In February of 2001, Tatu Ylönen, Chairman and CTO of SSH Communications Security informed the OpenSSH development mailing list, openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org, that after speaking with key OpenSSH developers Markus Friedl, Theo de Raadt, and Niels Provos, the company would have to assert its ownership of the SSH and Secure Shell trademarks in order to protect them. Tatu also sought to change references to the protocol to SecSH or secsh, in order to maintain control of the name, he proposed having OpenSSH change it's name in order to avoid a lawsuit. Theo de Raadt refused outright to consider changing the project's name.
At the time, "SSH", "Secure Shell" and "ssh" were used in the documents proposing the protocol as an open standard and it was hypothesized by many that by doing so, without marking these within the proposal as registered trademarks, Tatu was relinquishing all exclusive rights to the name as a means of describing the protocol. This is because in the United States it is imperative that trademarks be used in advertising copy as adjectives, never as nouns or verbs. Improper use of a trademark, or allowing others to use a trademark incorrectly, results in the trademark becoming generic a generic term, like Kleenex or Aspirin, which opens the mark to use by others, via the public domain.
Also brought into question was if the name "ssh" was trademarked, or merely the logo using the lower case letters "ssh", many on-line pundits believed the latter, after study of the USPTO trademark database and also bringing doubt to the validity of the claim was the 6 years between the company's creation and the point in time when it began defending its trademark from free alternatives such as OpenSSH, and that only OpenSSH was receiving these threats of legal repercussions.
Both developers of OpenSSH and Ylönen himself were members of the IETF work-group developing the new standard, which after several meetings, denied Ylonen's request for a renaming of the protocol, citing concerns that it would set a bad precedent for other trademark claims against the IETF. The working group participants argued that both Secure Shell SSH were generic terms and that they could not be trademarks.
Partly because OpenSSH is required to perform authentication, a capability that has many varying implementations between different operating systems, it requires a substantial portability infrastructure. Rather than including this directly into OpenBSD and OpenSSH, it is developed separately as an addition under the auspices of the OpenSSH Portability Team and released as what are known as "portable releases". This model is also used for other OpenBSD projects such as OpenNTPD.
This is the SSH Daemon. This daemon is run on the server side. As a default this program is already installed in openSUSE, but does not start during the boot process. Starting SSHD during boot can be set in Yast2 > System Services (Runlevels). Select "sshd" in the list and click enable.
The default listening port of SSHD is 22. Make sure this port is open in the Firewall. For configuration possibilities read "Configure openSSH"
This is the client side of the software. You can use this program to log on to any computer that is running the SSHD. Unless they restrict access on eg. host basis, of course.
SFTP is designed as a replacement for FTP, it is not based on it. SFTP makes it possible to interactively transfer file between computers over a secure and encrypted channel. It is designed to be a replacement of tunneling FTP over and SSH connection, which can be a complicated thing. Learn more about using SFTP.
Most programs making use of TCP connections can be passed over a secure tunnel using OpenSSH. This is used to multiplex additional TCP connections over a single ssh connection. It is useful for concealing connections and encrypting protocols which are otherwise unsecured, and for circumventing firewalls. UDP connections may sometimes be tunneled with the aid of programs such as netcat. Examples of easily tunneled programs include the X Window System, HTTP using a proxy and VNC. An X Window System tunnel is often created automatically between two Unix computers, so GUI programs from remote computers can be run simply by typing their names.
In addition, some software can be set to automatically make use of OpenSSH to create a tunnel. Examples include DistCC, CVS, rsync, and fetchmail. Programs where tunneling is possible but complex are FTP, which can often be replaced with SFTP in any case, and SMB. It is also possible to mount filesystems over ssh using sshfs.
Local forward: allows te client to connect to a port on the server side.
Remote forward: allows the server to connect to a port on the client side.
Dynamic forward: acts like a ad-hoc SOCKS proxy, which connects to ports on te fly.
TUN based VPN: implements an OSI layer 2/3 "tun"-based VPN. This is the most flexible of OpenSSH's tunneling capabilities, allowing applications to transparently access remote network resources without "socksification."
In addition, OpenSSH can often make use of additional authentication methods available on its host operating system. This can include using the BSD authentication system (bsd_auth) or PAM to enable authentication through methods such as one time passwords.

In our topic work this week, we are learning more about the rainforest and I have been thinking about what it would be like to be deep in the Amazon.
I have been thinking about what it would be like right on the forest floor, where it would be dark. I wonder what animals I would find there?
I have also been thinking about climbing a tall tree up to the canopy layer. What animals might I see on my way up to the top?


15 inch tall, Captain Bully was issued as a limited Edition of 2500 bears in 1983. He originally had a miniature version of "Teddy Bear & Friends" magazine, published by Hobby House Press Inc. Both Bully and his magazine were signed (though we don't know if it was Peter Bull, Jack Wilson, or Alison Nisbet whose signature was used).
