Nice talk. However it was a bit of a commercial talk about what you can do with Kibana, which was not in the title.
Philipp Krenn (08.Jun.2018 at 13:30, 45 min)
Talk at Dutch PHP Conference 2018 (English - US)
"Every outage is like a murder mystery" is a common complaint. But it doesn't have to be! This talk gives an overview on how to monitor PHP applications from all possible sides. We dive into:
* System metrics: Keep track of network traffic and system load.
* Application metrics: Gather metrics of nginx or Apache, php-fpm, and MySQL.
* Application logs: Collect logs in a structured format or parse them to extract all the relevant information.
* Uptime monitoring: Ping services and actively monitor their availability and response time.
* Tracing: Follow calls through your application and visualize them.
And we will do all of that live since it is so easy and much more interactive that way.

I truly think you should have mentioned that this is all shown in Kibana. It just shows what you can monitor with Kibana. The talk itself wasn't bad, but I propably wouldn't have joined the talk if i'd have known it was all in Kibana.

Nice demo of the various ways to dive into the data, also fun to watch. Would've liked to see a little more about the steps involved in setting up your application and servers for this level of reporting.

Nice talk, but was really an introduction to Kibana. Shame it also go slowed down by some people getting over excited with AB. :)
08.Jun.2018 at 23:23 by Nic Wortel (16 comments) via Web2 LIVE
As pointed out by other comments, the title did not really reflect the contents of the talk. It was actually a great introduction for anyone interested in the features of Kibana, and the fact that you gave an almost flawless live demo after basically inviting the audience to DDoS your site shows a great lot of confidence (both as a speaker as well as in the product), but given the title I expected something different from this talk.

Cool demo. Not even Apache AB could stop it ;-)

Nice overview of possibilities in Kibana but I agree it wasn't clear from the description this is what it was going to be.

Nice talk about how to use kibana. However i would have expected that it would be more about what is worth logging and Monitoring.
10.Jun.2018 at 18:30 by f4br1cat0r (7 comments) via Web2 LIVE
The (linked) code samples are very useful. I'll try this out!
11.Jun.2018 at 09:38 by Roberto Gardenier (Caroga) (32 comments) via Web2 LIVE
Talk was good. Presentation was clear, speaker had no trouble getting his message across the room.
I also like the summary of features that Kibana offers.
But I do feel that the title and abstract is misleading, leaving out a specific keyword: kibana.
Don't get me wrong here, I like Kibana (as I configured an ELK stack before) but I was more looking forward to broader stack.
Feels more like a dutch commercial "To solve this problem, we advice you use this software".
Summary: cool talk, insightful, not what I wanted to see, feels commercial, live demo was cool but next time ask the audience NOT to DDoS your server as this was quite annoying for the demo.
11.Jun.2018 at 16:04 by Stephan Vierkant (8 comments) via Web2 LIVE
Very interesting and also exciting, but Kibana should have been mentioned in the description.

Cli-fi from MEXICO:
of note is Rafael Bernal's ''Su nombre era muerte'' (1947). ‧‧the story of a man who escapes civilization and learns to talk to mosquitoes. It's depressing, bleak, and frankly quite bizarre. His only work of climate fiction.

Get into this chic and comfy suited up look. I chose to pair this lovely tie, pocket square, and lapel pin set that was gifted to me by my cousin (Asha Christina) with a black shirt and this iridescent grey jacket. To relax the look I chose a pair of khaki denim jeans (self- tailored) and black suedette loafers with a buckle detail. Tell me your thoughts on the look in the comment section!!!

First, news broke that beloved Pirates Of The Caribbean actor Johhny Depp and his wife, Amber Heard, had illegally smuggled Heard's dogs Pistol and Boo into Australia. When you thought that things couldn't get stranger, they also released the most awkward public apology the internet may have ever seen.
But things have become downright scary with allegations of domestic abuse and assault that seem straight out of a Hollywood thriller.
Following the passing of Depp's mother Betty Sue Palmer in May 2016, Heard filed for divorce after just 15 months of marriage. She obtained a restraining order against Depp and released photos of her bruised face claiming that he'd physically abused her during the time that they'd been together. Even as you read this, screenshots of the alleged assault, taken off Depp's assistant's phone, have been leaked.
People close to Depp,including his daughter Lily-Rose and ex-wife Vanessa Paradis, have jumped to his defence, whereas Heard has friends looking to her including her neighbour Raquel Pennington.
How did one of Hollywood's most iconic actors — the same man who gave the world Captain Jack Sparrow — arrive at this sordid spot? Only the courts can sort this one out now.
The many faces of Johnny Depp
Before he found himself at the centre of a domestic abuse scandal, Johnny Depp was best known for being one of Hollywood's most versatile actors. From the Mad Hatter to Captain Jack Sparrow, he's created characters that dominate pop culture conversations. Here's a look back at those simpler times.
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (2005)
Director: Tim Burton
In which Depp looks like the candy that comes out of Willy Wonka's factory.
Sweeney Todd (2007)
Director: Tim Burton
In which a bad haircut with a shock of grey (oddly reminiscent of a certain ex-PM) is the scariest thing about this demon barber.
Alice In Wonderland (2010)
Director: Tim Burton
Lewis Carroll's Hatter wasn't actually mad, but Burton's sure is. No other reason to look like a cake threw up on you.
Dark Shadows (2012)
Director: Tim Burton
Depp tries to convince us he's a vampire back from the grave with long nails and greasy hair. Not to mention: Most Chalk Ever.
The Lone Ranger (2013)
Director: Gore Verbinski
In which Depp plays a Native American. To wit, there's a dead, stuffed crow on his head.

So here we go- first blog post EVER!
I have always been hesitant to blog; by nature I am one of the most intensely private people I know. I'm hyper aware of how others see me and what they may think about me….to say I have a hard time letting people in would be an understatement.
I'm maddeningly driven by other's perceptions, so in essence I've always given people exactly what they want: lots of smiling and nodding, big smiles, giggles and mild traces of vapidness…..but lately something has changed and the facade of "perfection & perky" has started to show cracks and this weekend I had an experience that flat-out made it begin to crumble- I went to The Stationery Academy.
{image courtesy of Amber Housley Blog}
What I thought would be a weekend of getting pointers and tips about how to start the stationery company I've been dreaming of turned into so much more. Day one was all about facing fears, defining dreams, setting goals and being authentic, and in the words of my roomie Rachel Shingleton, "We just had church here, y'all, stationery church" These workshops forced me to dig deep and start the process of becoming "Real". It was scary and hard to admit some things to myself, but oh how liberating it was.
So here are the truths I'm taking away….
From Whitney Kolb "Go Ugly": done is better than perfect; If I keep waiting for every condition to be absolutely perfect this thing will never take off. So yes this generic blog background is ugly (the "designer" in me is cringing), but my first post is done.
From Amber Housley "Your family & friends might not understand- DO IT ANYWAYS": So I'm not saying the law school thing is dead….I'm really not, but right now, in this moment, paper makes me happy. Sitting in front of a computer screen trying to figure out how to change the color of one line thrills me. Googling vintage looking scripts for my inspiration gallery consumes me. Knowing that I have a plan that allows the first years of marriage and baby having with Mr.B to not be as painful as my current "career" would have them be brings me peace…….I'm doing this anyways
From Emily McCarthy "Staying true to what you love never goes out of Style": Well frankly I love Lettra with a nice deep impression. I love things that are pretty just for prettiness sake. I love the color coral, my monogram and really well made clothing. I love quiet intimate Sunday mornings full of grace, hot tea and french macaroons. I love pearls, good friends, a great meal and a nice glass of wine. These are the things I love and I will make paper inspired by them…and I will be succesful because…
From Nicolle Spitulnik "You never fail-you may choose to stop and change direction, but you never fail": I'm choosing to stop doing what the 'rents want me to do. That doesn't mean I've failed them or myself. I needed to hear those words. I'm simply changing direction and walking towards the path of personal happiness and professional fulfillment.
From Natalie Chang "Change is good- it hurts sometimes, but it's good. If things didn't change we wouldn't be creative": I'm so resistant to change and I think because of that sometimes it hurts even more. The changes of the past 7 months have been heartbreaking…there's too much to recount here (and like Whitney said "chandelier") but I know that the pain is good, I know that I'm being shaped, molded and refined and that in itself is worth celebrating.
So sweet friends that is where you find me. Full head and heart and ready for the hard work ahead. Look forward to a regularly updated blog (compliments of my editorial calendar) filled with lots of pretty things, big plans and exciting news about my baby brand.

The popularity of Caesarstone worktops in homes throughout Humberside, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Leeds in particular, is often attributed to looks and aesthetics alone.
It is wise, however, not to underestimate the requirements of the amateur cook as being at least partly responsible for the growing take-up of this brand of worktop.
The overriding benefit for cooks in deploying Caesarstone worktops is that they at once have a hard-wearing and extremely versatile work surface on which to prepare a variety of foodstuffs.
As with marble and its more consistent variant – Compac Marmol – the surface of a Caesarstone worktop is cool to the touch, making it an ideal preparation area for tasks such as pastry rolling and dough kneading.
In addition, because the panels that connect together to form the worktop are precision made, there are no hairline gaps between any two of these fitted panels.
What the cook has therefore is a completely smooth surface on which to work – after which a quick and straightforward wipe-down can take place without any awkward residue being left behind or lodged in any non-aligned surfaces.
The cook is then instantly free to move on to the next item of food preparation.
As with most quality quartz worktops – including those made from Compac Quartz – Caesarstone worktops are also ideal for withstanding the impact of regular chopping and cutting – with there being virtually no danger of scratching or chipping of the surface.
This impenetrable quality also helps maintain high levels of hygiene for Caesarstone worktops – another essential requirement for the good cook of course.

For every business out there, social presence is an absolute must. Apart from helping you to promote your brand, social media allow you to connect with your audience. All in all, your potential customers are already there. All you have to do is reach out and start a conversation.
There are still certain challenges. Content generation and optimization alone take too much time, which is why it's important to have your own arsenal of SMM instruments.
See how you can be most efficient on social media with the following 10 handy tools.
- Hootsuite
This online service helps you manage multiple social accounts, pages and groups in one dashboard. You can schedule and post content, track its performance, and optimize for the future use. With Hootsuite, you'll also be able to create campaigns from templates, launch and monitor them.
- Buffer
Like Hootsuite, Buffer allows connecting your multiple social accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google+) and managing them from one app. It offers a useful set of scheduling, link tracking, and analytics tools.
- Buzzsumo
This one is a content marketing tool which lets you discover the most shared content by your competitors or industry influencers. By using it, you'll get ideas on whom to follow or what to write about. You can also utilize Buzzsumo for tracking your highest performing content.

You probably know Bitly as a link shortener, but there is much more to it. With its help, you can not just make links more elegant, but also track them and analyze performance of each piece of content that you share.
- Pablo
Pablo is an unsophisticated graphic tool from Buffer that helps you create visuals. Here, you choose an image from a built-in stock photo library, pick a template, add a caption and customize it, and then share to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest or download your image to use in future campaigns.
- Piktochart
To create a perfect blend of informative, visual, and highly shareable content, you will need to master the art of infographics. Piktochart makes it easy even for marketers with no background in design. The service offers a large library of templates, icons, backgrounds, photos, and customizable graphs to draw attention to any topic.
- Canva
Canva is probably the most comprehensive tool for marketers who work with visual content. With this service, you'll be able to create everything from image quotes and eCards to mindmaps, info posters and graphic presentations.
- Pixabay
Although it is a photo stock, this website perfectly fits among top 10 social media tools. It contains a vast number of free photos, drawings and cliparts that you can use to spruce up your content. If you don't have a photographer or an illustrator in your team, you can always grab some pics at Pixabay.
Whatever goal your business pursues, there is no way to do it without social media. That's why you'll need the above tools to save your time and maximize your efforts. Use them to gain followers (through an email signature), create vivid content, optimize publishing times, track performance and engage with your audience.

When I first heard about Pinterest, it sounded like such a fantastic idea! Now I wouldn't have to try to remember where I saw neat birthday party ideas for my kids or make a list of the websites which I would certainly lose 10 minutes after writing it.
However, instead of just helping me find exciting things to do for my kids so that I maintain my status as Supermom #1, it also points me directly to websites of much more talented people than myself who make me think that I can do what they do, which of course I can't, thus leading me into the dark abyss of inadequacy (which also leads me to imagine these marvelously artistic people sitting behind their computers snickering in a sinister manner at the thought of poor souls like me even attempting to copy their magnificent efforts).
I am currently in such a state due to yet another attempt of mine at a DIY party for my soon-to-be 5-year-old daughter who has requested an Alice in Wonderland theme for her upcoming birthday. Why did I agree to such a thing? I am still trying to figure that out (I assume it's because I did the pirate party in the fall for my boys and I want to make sure that I spend as much time and effort on her birthday – oh, how the guilt of potentially not splitting my time and energy equally amongst my herd of kids can just suck me right back in).
Now, there's A LOT of ideas out there for various Alice parties, from vintage to Disney to Tim Burton; you're set with the help of Pinterest. However, once I started writing a list of all of the "money-saving" ideas that I was planning on doing, I realized quickly that these so-called "DIY parties on a budget" are nothing of the sort (ie, they are neither cheap nor do most of the people actually do-it-themselves). Since I must mostly rely on my abilities alone, I went in search of other people like me who had ideas that I might be able to actually pull off.
It's much more difficult to find the less-talent-required party ideas than those with the "wow" factor, sadly, which leads me to this rambling blog. I am determined to share the disastrous process I am going through with others so that I might be able to make some other struggling mom feel better about herself (and perhaps provide a laugh) when she masters what I am trying to do much better and much quicker.
To give you a mouth-watering taste of what is to come over the next few weeks, we will begin with the invitation! This is what I was going for:
How cute are those little antique keys?! Well, just a 6-pack of those can run you $4.99 or more and we'd need several packs….and that's just for the keys. Um, no thank you.
This is what we actually came up with (a special thanks to our local Michael's store for randomly having what I was looking for in their dollar bins! You should know that my luck is not usually this good) :
The inside, well, it's not so cute. I typed out the cutest words I could come up with, mentioning random characters from the story, and printed them out, along with a picture of the white rabbit.
I then used my favorite adhesive, scrapbooking squares, to keep the printouts in the card. Yeah, I'm that good. They are now addressed and waiting to be sent to the lucky people chosen to attend what is shaping up to be the party of the year. Obviously, I JEST.
Stay tuned to see how Pinterest continues to make me feel inferior as I keep trying to make the difficult things I see on there for this party……BLERG!

Mine is bigger,
He said with a swagger.
Mine triumphs yours,
Retorted the other.
Not engaging in battles futile,
But still winning,
The other God's mongers,
Exercised a victorious smile.
Though an ordinary mortal,
Grey muscles he flexed,
I have a doubt,
Said a simpleton, perplexed.
Why this animosity?
Why this anger?
Alone or together,
Every God is the complete truth
Pray, love; why behave uncouth
Flies alone, together never,
Ours only ours, rules time forever.
Stop, enough of this baloney,
Hanging together for money,
He pointed without a moment to drop,
To a place called The Gods' Shop.
It had broken his heart when he had come to know that she was renouncing the pleasures of life to become a nun. She had not even exited her teenage. He was responsible for her decision. He had broken her heart and her decision hit him with guilt.
He resorted to being behind the lens, using it to find and spread happiness. Kids, smiles, comedians, togetherness, couples, friends were his usual motifs. He had given up on the wish that someday she would know her impact on his life, till she walked into his exhibition with a friend.
The love birds were meeting after ages. The last time they met, members of anti-Romeo squad had mobbed them. They were publicly humiliated and thrashed. They were consenting adults in love and yet, they were treated like minors with ideologies forced on them.
They found sympathizers in opposing ideologists. They promised to keep a watch and branded themselves as Romeo Guards. Juliet was guarded by default. So, to be in full public view they perched themselves on electric cables. They wanted to make a statement. Defy the odds.
As they proceeded to kiss, they were in for a shock.
Every photo was a reminder of his past. It seemed that the walls were playing a highlight reel of his life. Every memory had a happy and a sad moment associated to it depending on the lens used. Every happy moment seemed like a trap and every sad moment an opportunity to break free.
The progression of these fleeting memories froze when he saw a photo depicting companionship. He missed his companion of life. What she was, wanted to be and could not be. As he stood staring the photo he could not move, trapped in his own reflections.
We voted in the peak of summer, in the heat of the sun,
To lead our country, make decisions, we get someone.
A drama that spread from North to South, East to West,
We checked everyone, and evaluated all for the best.
When all was done, we patiently watched and waited,
We were keen to know, anxious to hear with breath baited.
When the news was out, there was disappointment, confusion,
Looks like democracy, corruption, bad luck were in collusion
After all this, irony, this was our precarious predicament,
In the monsoon session, we again had a hung parliament.
Enough was enough. The bullizens and cowizens of Barnland were fed up with the proceedings in the current Dairyocratic election for the Prime Sinister of Barn. The candidates were Filthy Pig, an Opportunistic Dog and the Useless Hen.
Last term Lame Horse hayed away time. This year point of contention is mechanized milking. The dairy animals were happy that with no electricity it would not be possible. But suddenly these power lines appeared. Whoever won, it looked like a machine would milk them.
So, with only one thing in mind, 'Reservation', they took to the streets and rioted.
Eight months folded and confined, four months open and in mind,
Clutched onto in need; when not, discarded, kept in dark, made blind
This monsoon, I rebel, break away, float in open, seek my freedom,
Take shade under green umbrellas, a joy I have experienced seldom.
I still protect, still cover, with guidance of my open spirit and freewill,
Today, protect from tears of sky, small, in the middle of road, anthill.
With the wind, I come and go, which of the two, you will never know,
Keep guessing, not your usual one, I am the free-spirited umbrella ho.
Ok, which one do I rob today? This place is not going to be that difficult. There are no doors to secure the houses and they use plastic sheets for the ceiling. I have so many options.
The one with the blue sheets looks taller and must be more prosperous. I must make my first attempt at theft a huge success. I am sure there must be a few lakh rupees, some jewellery and some electronic valuables available to steal and sell in the market. By tomorrow afternoon I will be a rich man and then no more stealing.
Go to the caves, get the baby and deliver them to human parents. It is a good job, but it is taking its toll on me. The humans have repaid our hard work by destroying places where we live. So I have ended being alone. Most of my tribe is gone.
I am alone and these guys won't stop demanding babies. So I get overworked and fumble. The other day I delivered a human baby to wolves and they raised him to be a better human. What can I say?
Now where did I drop today's baby?
Willdo emphasised, "I proposed the idea, Goa is not far, let's just do it.â€
Maydo contemplated, "I am not sure. I want to, but I am scared.â€
Wontdo negated, "We shouldn't. What if our husbands find out?â€
Willdo cajoled, "They went to Bangkok.â€
Wontdo preached, "That's no reason to steal a trip.â€
Maydo enquired, "Will it be fun?â€
Willdo speculated, "I am sure, more than what we have with our husbands.â€
Maydo relented, "Really!!!â€
Wontdo objected, "Hearsay, we will lose money for nothing.â€
Willdo prophesied, "We won't take money to the grave. Shake a leg, drink a peg.â€
Well!! This flock seems to have its craving for grass satiated. They have even gone full circle and doled out fertilizer pellets. Now I will have to bear the brunt of "Swachch Bharat†crusaders. They will make me feel like a black sheep. I must build a toilet for the flock. But that should happen after I have built one for me and my family.
Time to go back. I don't want to start counting the sheep. What if I fall asleep? I don't want to. I want my grass as well. It seems a long road to my grass.
No no. Not interested. Please keep it to yourself. I have seen enough monsoons and winters to know the difference between raindrops and frost. I have earned a lot of respect and I keep it on my head. I might be in the twilight of my life but I still have dreams. (I am even wearing my spectacles to keep my dreams clear.) I may not have a roof on my head and my bed may be stony but I am wearing my dignity on my body.
Let me sleep and dream peacefully. Keep your damn stories to yourself.
"I will carry you for a while; then you carry me all the way,†The fisherman said to the boat. "I walk the sands and you ride the waves.â€
"You will have a great catch, what's in it for me?†asked the boat. "Soak in your favourite saline water and dance in joy on the sea with the waves. Isn't this your calling?†replied the fisherman dragging the boat into the sea. As the first waves hit the boat it buoyed with joy. With land gone, gone was lazy reluctance. The boat said "Now, let's get on with it.â€

An unlikely combination for an exceptional success story.
As the Cleveland-Bradley Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Tourism Development, Melissa Alley Woody gets paid to market her hometown. It's a task that is easier to perform for those coming from outside Cleveland's borders.
"We tend to take for granted what's in our own backyard," Melissa says. "With my job, I see people do that every day with the mountains and the Cherokee National Forest."
Same Story
Melissa also sees people do it with Cleveland State Community College. Because it's been here for fifty years, Melissa feels people don't realize the great resource the college is. She certainly does. And she did when she was in the midst of earning her general transfer degree from the college, which prepared her for her four-year degree at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Feeling that staying close to home was a better option, Melissa attended classes and worked on the CSCC campus. She worked for Steve Longley in CSCC's athletic department and Bob Taylor, who was an activities-relations professional for the college and later became Director of Bradley County Schools. Melissa fondly remembers the day when her position with Coach Longley gave her the opportunity to announce a basketball game over the intercom system.
Exciting as this day was, it pales in comparison to something many students also take for granted: an entrance exam offered by the Cleveland State counseling office.
"When I took that entrance exam, I scored very high in public relations and private investigation," Melissa says. Though she didn't understand how the two meshed together, she now sees that both play a role in her job, as she must do lots of research and questioning—investigation—to perform her PR-centric job.
Exciting Growth
Like many CSCC alumni, Melissa continues to keep up with the college since her 1989 graduation. She is impressed with the ever-growing class offerings and sees the community offerings as a particular benefit. In fact, she reaped the benefit of one community class herself by participating in a Cleveland State yoga class.
"Cleveland State is a real jewel in our community," she says. "The people there are great, the campus is beautiful—it's just a great place. My wish is that the campus would continue to thrive, the students would more clearly see the value of what's offered there, and the community would realize what a great institution we have right here in our community and continue to support its current and future growth."

I am a sucker for obituaries.
Whenever I access magazines like the Economist or the New Yorker, this is one column I rarely miss. But last week I came across one in the Indian Express (originally, an NYT piece), and since then, I have been devouring just about everything I can find - opeds, features, and, of course, more obituraries. I found myself going all over the internet reading as many obituaries and articles I could find on one man: Oliver Sacks.
Oliver Sacks passed away a few days ago. During his 82-year life-span, he was described as a world-renowned neurologist, a world-champion weightlifter, a best-selling author, a naturalist, and a lifelong enthusiast of physical chemistry.
How many talents can the Gods bestow on one man?!?
NYT describes him as a person who - "...leapfrogged among disciplines, shedding light on the strange and wonderful interconnectedness of life — the connections between science and art, physiology and psychology, the beauty and economy of the natural world and the magic of the human imagination."
Now I find that Sacks was an old friend to another science writer I admire - Vilayanur.S. Ramachandran, author of Phantom in the Brain. In a conversation between these two profs, other famous authors are mentioned - George Gamow, Stephen Jay Gould, Lewis Thomas and Peter Medawar -- all of whom, I am ashamed to admit, I had never heard before!
This must be the first time an obituary is leaving me with such long list of authors and books to read!

Modern constructions are either wasteful machines that may be made extra effective and tools of the big, metropolitan approach engendered by way of the facility of fine quality fuels. A accomplished approach to environmental layout needs to reconcile the options of effective construction layout with the novel city and fiscal reorganization that we are facing. Over the arriving century, we are going to be challenged to come back to the renewable source base of the eighteenth-century urban with the information, applied sciences, and expectancies of the twenty-first-century metropolis.
This booklet explores the architectural implications of structures ecology, which extends the rules of thermodynamics from the nineteenth-century specialize in extra effective equipment to the modern challenge with the resilient self-organization of ecosystems.
Written with adequate technical fabric to give an explanation for the tools, it doesn't contain in-text equations or calculations, depending in its place at the power procedure diagrams to exhibit the argument. Architecture and platforms Ecology has minimum technical jargon and an emphasis on intelligible layout conclusions, making it compatible for structure scholars and execs who're engaged with the elemental concerns confronted through sustainable layout.
The strength structures language presents a holistic context for the various types of functionality already evaluated in architecture—from strength use to fabric choice or even the alternative of creating variety. It establishes the root for environmental rules of layout that embody the entire complexity of our present scenario. structure succeeds most sensible whilst it is helping form, accommodate, and symbolize new methods of dwelling together.

Back To CourseResources for Teaching English Language Learners
8 chapters | 185 lessons
Eric has tutored in English, writing, history, and other subjects.
As in many other states, Arizona educators realized that a strong grasp of the English language is crucial for a student's academic and occupational success in this country. As more English language learners have entered schools, educators have developed proficiency standards to gauge how students' language skills are developing. The goal of these standards is to highlight key areas of language development that students will need to master in order to become fully proficient in English as soon as possible.
The standards are arranged into five stages that correspond to certain K-12 grade levels and are formed around the core components, or domains, of the English language. The domains reflect a broad scope of the language, focusing on student understanding and practical application.
Within these domains are individual standards that detail specific competencies and skills. However, the exact scope of expectations varies depending on grade level and proficiency level. Here are the 4 domains and their primary standards.
|Listening and Speaking
|Comprehension and delivery of the spoken word
|Understanding of print concepts, an awareness of phonemes, standard fluency, comprehension of text
|Awareness of standard English conventions, writing applications, the writing process, writing elements, and research
|Language Strand
|Understanding of standard English conventions and vocabulary
The standards in each domain are accompanied by performance indicators. The performance indicators highlight the skills, knowledge, and abilities a student is expected to exhibit. The complexity and depth of a performance indicator are influenced by the particular grade and proficiency level (which is explained below). As students develop through grade levels, they are expected to progress onto harder lessons. Therefore, the performance indicators simultaneously indicate a growing skill level, while preparing English language learners for more rigorous curriculum.
In addition to grade level, performance indicators for each of the standards are organized by proficiency level descriptors that quantify a student's grasp of English as a whole. The descriptors are: pre-emergent, emergent, basic, low intermediate, high intermediate, and proficient.
Once a student's proficiency level has been determined through an annual standardized test, teachers can use these descriptors as a base on which to begin instruction. By understanding an individual's grasp of English, lessons can be tailored to address what he or she needs in order to continue development.
When performance indicators are satisfied in a particular level, a student is ready to undertake more advanced levels of English language instruction. The student then moves up in proficiency level descriptor.
Let's look at an example of one of the listening and speaking standards for stage 5 (grades 9-12). The table below will show the proficiency levels and corresponding performance indicators for the standard measuring students' ability to understand the spoken word.
|Discern the difference between a word pair's first and last phonemes (example: bad vs bat)
|Distinguish between a word pair's middle phonemes (example: pin vs pan)
|Understand the difference between individual phonemes found in small phrases, as well as word pairs (example: the fat rat vs the fat bat)
|Low Intermediate
|Identify individual phonemes in short sentences and phrases (example: The case is there. vs The vase is there.)
|High Intermediate
|Recognize individual phonemes in sentences and phrases (The concept remains the same, but students are expected perform the task with greater proficiency.)
As you delve into teaching English, Study.com can give you tools to help your ELL students meet the proficiency standards and expand their English language skills:
Each course is equipped with transcripts, video lessons, and practice quizzes to ensure your students are grasping the material. Our courses are also accessible on all mobile devices, enabling you to access learning materials at any location and time.

To study theatre at Hamilton is to gain skills and knowledge in such areas as performance, design and cultural studies. The creation of art—including theatre—leads inevitably to a sense of personal empowerment and responsibility. As young artists, audiences, and citizens, students learn to value theatre as an important part of their lives, their communities and society.
Specialization in performance, design and production, playwriting or directing is possible through a combination of coursework and independent study. At the same time, students extend the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom by working on a variety of productions, from classroom to independent studies to departmental productions.
The Department also offers other opportunities: The annual Wallace Bradley Johnson Playwriting Contest sponsors staged play-readings of selected finalists and makes an award to the best one-act play submitted by a Hamilton undergraduate. The Bare Naked Theatre (BNT) is a Theatre Department program that encourages and supports independent theatre projects among students and students and faculty.
A concentration in theatre is suitable for any student who seeks creative, technical and intellectual challenges and rewards. Theatre concentrators take a variety of courses designed to give students a sophisticated understanding of theatre in relationship to the individual, everyday life, society and culture; an appreciation of imagination and the imaginative; and a mature and realistic idea of the demands and rewards of artistic work and creation.
Concentrators are expected to hold high academic and artistic standards, to attempt challenging artistic projects, and to create works that reflect individuality and potential. Theatre program faculty work closely with students as teachers and mentors, both in the classroom and on productions. Students may also elect to minor in theatre, taking a group of courses that balance the performance and non-performance offerings.
While many theatre concentrators choose to pursue further study in theatre or to enter the field professionally, others choose to utilize the skills they have learned while studying theatre in other fields including business, law and teaching. No matter what profession students ultimately choose to enter, the study of theatre provides them with the skills to "respond creatively to new and unexpected situations and to address problems and challenges in a morally and intellectually courageous manner."
The Department''s entry-level course, Theatre 100, offers first-year students the opportunity to learn the basic skills and vocabularies of stage production and performance, and to practice collaborative theatre-making in a classroom setting. Theatre 100 is about making theatre: students write dramatic monologues, act, design and direct, and the class culminates in the production and performance of a one-act play. Students learn about the various elements that contribute toward a full theatre production, and what particular area—acting, design, directing, writing—they would like to continue to study. All concentrators and minors must take 100.

Deadly incidents prompt new food policies
Blue Bell case, other outbreaks put federal focus on cleanliness
WASHINGTON - Food manufacturers must be more vigilant about keeping their operations clean under new government safety rules released Thursday in the wake of deadly foodborne illness outbreaks linked to ice cream, caramel apples, cantaloupes and peanuts.
The rules, once promoted as an Obama administration priority, ran into long delays and came out under a court-ordered deadline after advocacy groups had sued. Even then, the Food and Drug Administration allowed the Aug. 30 deadline to pass without releasing the rules to the public.
The new rules will require food manufacturers to submit food safety plans to the government to show they are keeping their operations clean. Once the rules go into effect later this year, companies will have to prepare detailed plans that lay out how they handle the food, how they process it, how they clean their facilities and how they keep food at the right temperatures, among other safety measures.
Michael Taylor, the FDA's deputy commissioner for foods, said the rules will "create a level playing field." He added: "The food safety problems we face have one thing in common - they are largely preventable."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 48 million people - or 1 in 6 people in the United States - get sick annually from foodborne diseases. An estimated 3,000 people die.
In the Blue Bell ice cream outbreak this year, FDA inspectors found many violations at a company plant, including dirty equipment, inadequate food storage, food held at improper temperatures and employees not washing hands appropriately. Three listeria deaths were linked to ice cream produced by the company.
The food manufacturing rule is one of seven that the FDA is issuing to improve food safety. The agency also issued rules Thursday to ensure safer manufacturing of pet food.
The most controversial rules are due in October and would set new standards for farmers growing produce. The rules would require farmers to take new precautions against contamination, making sure workers' hands are washed, irrigation water is clean and that animals stay out of fields, among other things.
Congress first passed the rules in 2010, and it took the FDA two years to write the specific requirements.
Mindful of the high cost of outbreaks and recalls, food companies generally have supported the rules.

Hey hey! I'm sorry to be posting so little lately but my only focus right now are my upcoming exams… The oral exam went well I think (well it was 'just' English so that's not such a big deal for me :P) so now I'm trying to pass the other three exams. I'll be tested on Business Administration & Finance/Accounting next Tuesday, so I'm getting quite nervous about that. One week later on Monday, I'm going to have the last exam which will be Law.
I wish you all a nice Friday evening & of course a great weekend!! 🙂 XOXO!!

Network Notebook: NBA Series Preview…Houston vs. Golden State
Submitted by Jim Hurley on Monday, May 18, 2015 at 7:00 AM
Golden State enters the Western Conference Finals well-rested, after dispatching with the Memphis Grizzlies late last week. Their opponent had to survive a high energy Game Seven Sunday, then come back just two nights later to play on what might currently be the toughest home floor in the NBA!
Great spot for the Warriors…horrible scenario for the Houston Rockets.
But, the betting markets know it's a great spot, and have priced Game One accordingly. Before you make any final decisions on how Tuesday's flow may go…let's take a look together at JIM HURLEY'S key indicator stats for this matchup. Remember, all numbers are from the regular season…
Offensive Efficiency
Houston: 104.2 per 100 possessions (ranked #12 in the NBA)
Golden State: 109.7 per 100 possessions (ranked #2 in the NBA)
Golden State really lost their focus in Games 2-3 of the second round against the Grizzlies. They kept making bad passes and launching up ill-conceived treys. Once they remembered they were in the playoffs rather than a traveling circus, the offense returned to its lethal regular season form. Remember…Memphis was built for the playoffs, particularly on defense! Yet Golden State made short work of them three straight games with double digit victories. Houston's defense isn't quite as lethal as the media reports. A fast tempo and occasional hot games from three-point land have created some illusions. Overall…once you adjust for tempo, the Rockets are only fractionally better than league average. Big edge here to the Warriors…though Houston will probably have some hot runs.
Defensive Efficiency
Houston: 100.5 per 100 possessions (ranked #6 in the NBA)
Golden State: 98.2 per 100 possessions (ranked #1 in the NBA)
It's becoming a big better understood that Golden State has the most efficient defense in the NBA. They guard the rim very well as long as they're not in foul trouble. They get a lot of steals if opponents try to pass over or through traffic. And, they run at shooters (before continuing on in case there's a fast break). Playing at a very fast pace hid that from people…then too many TV commenters were focused on size rather than the ability to make actual defensive plays! Right now, it would seem widely understood that the Warriors enter this series with the superior overall team defense. Houston didn't play up to their regular season defense against the Clippers until the last couple of games.
Pace Ranking
Houston: #2
Golden State: #1
Get ready for one of the fastest paced NBA Playoff series in decades. Could be a very fun series to watch unless the referees force themselves onto the scene (or if Coach Steve Kerr decides to play around with hack-a-stuff). Very bad news for Houston because they're preferred pace plays right into the strength of the Warriors.
Against the Spread
Houston: 48-34
Golden State 47-34-1
Both teams were a great bargain most of the season. It took forever for the betting markets to accept that Golden State was championship caliber…and that Houston wasn't going to have trouble sweating offseason personnel losses. Golden State didn't play with much urgency vs. New Orleans in the first round. And, you know they lost two of the first three games vs. Memphis straight up. Once getting their heads on straight…they're 3-0 ATS with cover margins of 13, 10, and 8. Handicappers basically have to decide if they're going to see "regular season" Golden State who re-appeared late in the Memphis series…or "overconfident" Golden State that has a tendency to take its foot off the gas if they think things are going to be easy. Houston is playing on borrowed time, which means they can get some wins of GS loses focus.
Tuesday's Game One Line: Golden State by 10, total of 219
Given that price, Golden State is seen as about 6-7 points better on a neutral court, and will probably be about -3 to 4 when the series moves to Houston later in the week.
JIM HURLEY had plenty of times to map out plans for this one since the host was known all weekend. You can purchase the final word for Tuesday (this game plus the best from baseball) right here at the website with your credit card. If you have any questions about extended service, call us in the office at 1-888-777-4155. Be sure to check on combination packages that include the upcoming Belmont Stakes. Will we finally have a Triple Crown winner this year?!
Today marks Day One of extended Conference Championship coverage The Eastern Finals matching Cleveland and Atlanta begin Wednesday. The two conferences will alternate days through the week…which means we'll be alternating big game previews here in the NOTEBOOK!
Wednesday: Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks Series Preview
Thursday: Game Two Preview…Houston at Golden State
Friday: Game Two Preview…Cleveland at Atlanta
Saturday: Game Three Preview…Golden State at Houston
Sunday: Game Three Preview…Atlanta at Cleveland
There have been a few surprises so far through the NBA Playoffs…but you can't really say that the Final Four is much of a surprise. The top two seeds advanced in both conferences! The full NETWORK team had its eyes on these potential matchups during the final third of the regular season. We know what to expect. Slide up to the table for some BIG, JUICY WINNERS!

Hello Ian (sorry for this so close treatment calling you by your first name but I believe we your real fans have the right to be so close)
Hello Amauri,
From: louangiepurplefloyd
Dear Ian:
What a good question.
I have been amused by a moose, misled by a mouse and lost in my Rorschach muesli, but a muse. A muse - hmmmm?
It would be untoward to reveal the truth in its entirety but yes I have muses, many of them over a lifetime and more than one at a time. If love and inspiration are not each of them mutually exclusive and jealousy is a common foe then transcendental euphoria can be quite a common and beneficial experience.
But you have to let them in or at least invite them to flutter around your weaknesses whilst you tend to theirs.
How can you not respond to the gossamer touch of a wise angel, or see clearly in that fleeting moment when the mist clears.
The best thing about these muses is the help they give with respect to focus in both spiritual and material aspects of subject matter, so that writing itself has become the reward for putting pencil to paper - yes I still do that.
Cheers, ig
