![]() 3 | On the first Thursday of each month, sensory nights offer a low-stimulus evening for children with sensory sensitivities (registration required). ![]() While the museum’s next Drink and Discover event won’t take place until April, you can still check out some of these upcoming museum happenings: Enjoying beer from Wanderlinger all the while.Making mini stop motion movies in the arts section.Checking out the view from the very top of the museum at night.This particular night was Halloween themed and included ghost stories, “potion” making, a broom race, and a costume contest, plus a candle-making activity for an extra fee. The best part was exploring, but if you need something planned to be entertained, the museum’s got it covered. ![]() Last Friday, I finally took part in my first Drink and Discover event.ĭo you remember that scene in “The Santa Clause 2" when Scott Calvin gifts toys to all of the adults at the school’s faculty Christmas party? Drink & Discover is a lot like that - a bunch of adults getting the chance to play like kids again. Editor Brianna here, and while I appreciate the fact that children’s museums are, well, for children, I’ve long wished for the chance to explore the museum as an adult without feeling guilty for taking up kids’ space.Įnter: Drink and Discover, an event hosted by the Creative Discovery Museum that closes the building to children for the night and allows adults 21+ to roam its exhibits - all with a drink in hand.

In the hands of a Warlock, Trace Rifles automatically reload and mark combatants. This new Exotic helm allows Warlocks to take Trace rifles to the next level: When an ally defeats the marked target, generate special ammo for yourself and heavy ammo for your allies.

This time, the cards will have items like settings in one book or settings from two different books, specific events in a story, characters in the same book or characters from two different books, and themes. One idea is to do a similar activity once a read-aloud, literature circle, class novel, or even a basal story has been read by the whole class. Once students are comfortable comparing and contrasting ordinary things, you’ll want to move them into applying this skill to reading. This could be done verbally, on paper, on whiteboards, or in a reader’s notebook. Place several of these in small baggies (one baggie for each pair), and students pull a card and compare and contrast each set. The cards could have two different foods (like hamburgers and hot dogs), two different animals (like a hippo and a rhino), two different jobs (like a doctor and a teacher) or two different sports (like baseball and football). Click here if you’d like the FREE set of Ice Cream Graphing Materials.įor a beginning activity, make small cards with two items on each card that are similar but also different. We do this again at the end of the year with ice cream flavors. I ask students to make three observations from their graph, and this is where they compare and contrast to complete the assignment. Not only is this a great icebreaker (kids learn a few names of new classmates) and math activity, but it is also good compare-and-contrast practice. Once they tally the results and make a colorful graph, I put them on a bulletin board called Class Favorites. On the first week of school, I do a getting to know you activity where kids choose a topic (I make sure each topic is unique) and walk around asking each other which type of sport, which season, pizza topping, school subject, rainforest animal, or book is his/her favorite. By the end of the activity, each Venn diagram should be completely filled, and students have had the opportunity to do lots of comparing and contrasting. In the upper elementary grades, reading skills are usually strong enough that pictures aren’t really needed, but I still think they provide a nice visual and may jog a few extra ideas out of your kids!Īs pairs walk around the room, they stop at each Venn diagram and write a similarity between the two objects, animals, people, or places and a difference. She sets Venn diagrams around the room with small pictures on the top, which show what students are comparing. ![]() Another Venn diagram activity that I love is from Miss DeCarbo. ![]() Right-click on the tab of any worksheet to display a short-cut menu.

Several locations across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee experienced degradation this week, as the frontal boundary draped across the southern tier states did not result in enough precipitation to stave off degradation for those experiencing antecedent dryness. However, after a reassessment of drought indicators near the Big Bend, an improvement to severe drought (D2) conditions is warranted. In Florida, timely rainfall resulted in a status quo depiction for the most part. 7-day average stream flows across the Piedmont and Coastal Plain of Virginia and North Carolina have fallen below the 24th percentile of the historical distribution for this week and soil moisture has also continued to decline. In areas with antecedent dryness in place who received below normal rainfall this week, degradation to moderate drought (D1) in Virginia and degradation to abnormal dryness (D0) elsewhere across the Southeast is warranted. Unfortunately, with the exception of a few locations in the Carolinas, the heaviest rain fell in areas lacking any dryness. SoutheastĪ trailing frontal boundary, associated with a storm system moving across the Great Lakes and Northeast toward the end of the week, resulted in pockets of heavy rainfall in excess of 2 inches across the central Gulf Coast, parts of the Coastal Plain of the Carolinas, and the Southern Appalachians. 7-day average stream flows have fallen below the 10th percentile of the historical distribution for this period and soil moisture continues to decline. In areas that experienced below average 7-day rainfall, expansion of abnormally dryness (D0) and moderate drought (D1) conditions is warranted, particularly across southern portions of the Northeast. Otherwise, the storm system did little to improve antecedent dryness, acting only to halt ongoing deterioration, with the help of below average maximum temperatures for this week. NortheastĪ storm system developed over the Midwest during the weekend and moved across the Northeast Monday into Tuesday bringing heavy rainfall to parts of the interior Northeast, warranting targeted improvements to the drought depiction in portions of northeastern Pennsylvania and interior New England. In areas that received below normal rainfall this week, drought worsened, as rainfall deficits continue to increase. From the eastern Great Plains to the Eastern Seaboard, 7-day rainfall surpluses are more scattered in nature, leading to only modest improvements in areas seeing the heaviest amounts. Improvements are mainly confined to the western Great Plains, where widespread 7-day rainfall totals exceeded 200 percent of average for the week, further adding to short-term precipitation surpluses. There is a mix of improving and worsening drought conditions across the Great Plains. The exception is the Pacific Northwest, where below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures resulted in worsening drought conditions along the northern Cascades. Above normal precipitation and below normal temperatures resulted in another week of targeted improvements across portions of the Intermountain West, adding to recent precipitation totals that have continued to improve long-term drought conditions. ![]() ![]() Amazon Aurora Serverless v1 is a simple, cost-effective option for infrequent, intermittent, or unpredictable workloads. As it scales, it adjusts capacity in fine-grained increments to provide just the right amount of database resources and supports all manners of database workloads. ![]() Amazon Aurora Serverless v1 scales instantly from hundreds to hundreds-of-thousands of transactions in a fraction of a second. To prevent this, remember to update the default region in the ~/.aws/config file.November 2022: This post was reviewed and updated for accuracy.Īmazon Aurora Serverless v1 is an on-demand, auto-scaling configuration for Amazon Aurora. When trying to create an SSH connection, if the instance cannot be found in the default region, the command fails with the error ‘kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host’. The RDS instance security group must allow access from your bastion host. ![]() Or you can simply use MySQL Workbench to connect to the database. With the session still active, you’re now ready to open a new terminal window and try and connect to the database with the following command: mysql -u USERNAME -h 127.0.0.1 -P 9090 -p password Please note that INSTANCE-DNS should look something like ip-10–0–1– and RDS-ENDPOINT should look something like. The command creates access to the database on the RDS instance - the local port 9090 tunnels to port 3306 on the RDS instance. This is done by running the following command: ssh -i KEY-FILE.pem -L 9090:RDS-ENDPOINT:3306 If you successfully log in to the bastion host, you’re now ready for the next step which is creating a tunnel and accessing the RDS instance. You can try logging into your Bastion host with the following command: ssh -i KEY-FILE.pem KEY-FILE is the name of the key you created or chose for your bastion host and username is ec2-user if you’re using Amazon Linux AMI, ubuntu if you’re using Ubuntu AMI, etc… and INSTANCE-ID looks something like i-0ac772dd11dc4b4e8. We are now ready to start a Session Manager connection with SSH. This allows running a proxy command that starts a Session Manager session and transfers all data through the connection. Prox圜ommand sh -c "aws ssm start-session -target %h -document-name AWS-StartSSHSession -parameters 'portNumber=%p'" The next thing is to modify our local ssh config file which is typically located in ~/.ssh/config (Linux and MacOS) or C:\Users\username\.ssh\config (Windows) with the following content: # SSH over Session Manager The benefit of using Session Manager is that the bastion host will now reside in a private subnet and its security groups won’t allow any inbound traffic. Creating the SSH tunnelĮven though we said that Session Manager eliminates the need for maintaining bastion hosts, in order to access resources in our private subnet, we still need to create an EC2 instance that will serve as a bastion host. Numerous tutorials popped out, but none of them thoroughly explained the complete process of creating the ssh tunnel. So naturally, the first thing we searched on google was ‘AWS Session Manager tunneling’. How we did this in the past by creating a ssh tunnel via our public bastion host and accessing the private MySQL RDS instances. We still need a way to access our RDS instances residing in a private subnet. However, we won’t go into the details of setting up Session Manager for your EC2 instances since the official documentation is detailed enough and you can also check it out here.įurthermore, the Session Manager capability seems to be an improvement to our cloud security, but now we are facing a new challenge. AWS Session Manager provides us with secure instance management without the need to open inbound ports or maintain bastion hosts. Session Manager is a capability of AWS Systems Manager which allows us to manage the EC2 instances through an interactive one-click-browser-based shell or through the AWS CLI. Even though we make sure to harden the bastion host so it won’t represent a security issue, the issue with this approach is that the bastion host resides in a public subnet and ingress rules do allow connections from the outside world. This resulted in creating an extensive list of requirements that should be implemented for all existing and future projects.Īs of right now, almost all of the projects make use of an EC2 instance which acts as a bastion host (jump box) and provides us a way of accessing resources in our private subnets. For the past several months, the DevOps team in our organization has worked on finding ways to increase the security of our AWS cloud infrastructure projects. ![]() The entire time I was reviewing this I kept thinking about the standard Basil Hayden’s. Sure, they won’t be blown away, but no one will walk away saying this is the worst bourbon they ever tasted. Where many people will scoff at a $10 bottle of bourbon, Benchmark Bourbon is waiting to help change those folks' minds. Heck, nowadays a pack of gum will cost you $2, and a tall Starbucks latte will set you back almost $5. In today’s world, $10 won’t buy you much, but it will buy you a bottle of Old No 8 Brand Benchmark Bourbon. 8 Brand Bourbon doesn’t excel in many areas, except for one. To be clear, there’s nothing adherently unique about this bourbon, but sometimes not standing out in a crowd isn’t the worst thing in the world either.īenchmark Old No. This reminds me of a bourbon that has had ice added to it which has melted over the course of 20 minutes. While the flavors may be light, they’re more than tolerable, especially if you’re trying to not chase after proof. Now don’t let lightness fool you for being off-putting either, as there’s a big difference between being light and being bad. The overall sip is light and would struggle to compete against anything above 80 proof. ![]() 8 Brand at 80 proof is unsurprisingly lacking in most regards. This is especially true for those who just want a glass of bourbon but don’t want to be confronted with a proof monster. 8 Brand Benchmark Bourbon shouldn’t be overlooked. While most people will chase the higher proof versions, the standard Old No. The brand now carries six different expressions, ranging in proof from 80 to 125. The Benchmark Bourbon line has seen a transformation over the last few years. ![]() These locations were initially re-purposed portals from Ingress, Niantic's previous augmented reality (AR) game.
