Reading VI

Equally important – “Having developed the business continuity plan, it is sensible to perform an audit... not just initially, but at regular intervals. This helps ensure that it remains current, and that it stands up to rigorous examination. Equally important are periodic checks on 'business as usual' contingency practices.”

Of course – “We have tried to design miniBB as small as possible. ZIP-compressed fully working "clear" version takes only about 90 Kb in size, and uncompressed - only about 180 Kb! And less code means: less bugs, more speed. Of course, it depends on your server's power to make fast all database requests, and execute scripts.”
http://www.minibb.net/

Despite that – “But, we have tested miniBB on more than 50000 records (enough for medium site!) and can conclude that it works very fast even on average servers. Even faster, than other "ultimate" boards :). Despite that, it includes most popular user and administrator options, that makes use of it clear and simple.”

In fact – “The last Bxx release was in December 1998. The Bxx releases are no longer available. In fact, older versions of the DLL or utilities are not usually available on this web site. Any cygwin program built from December 1998 onward should work correctly with newer DLLs.”

As has been said – “Additional concerns related to controlling access authorization and clients authorizations are also in the responsibility of the web server. As has been said the web server might execute programs as response to clients requests. It must ensure that this is not a threat for the host system (were the web server runs).”

Subsequently – “One of the foremost debates has been about the process of nominating and confirming federal judges. One issue in the debate involves the Senate's role and the standards by which a judicial candidate should be evaluated and subsequently confirmed or rejected.”

Writing VII - Advantages in teaching ESL large classes

ESL large classes are very common worldwide. In some Asian countries, for instance, there are ESL classes with more than one hundred students. In Brazil, it is very common to have thirty or forty students in the same classroom. Some teachers just don't like large classes because they don't have enough time and space to interact with all the students. Besides, they feel uncomfortable because they cannot conduct individual feedback during the classes or give special attention to students that really need it. However, teaching ESL to large groups may be an interesting activity. Teachers can find many advantages while teaching large groups. For instance, they may have their students in pairs or small groups with the possibility to change these pairs and groups every class. In classes with more than twenty pupils we may have many different combinations of pairs and groups (of four or five students, for example) that can be used in different classes. So, students have the possibility to interact with different colleagues in a period of three or four months. We can work with games and group activities more easily.
Most of teachers would prefer small groups, but in our current context this is almost impossible. The important point is to find a way to work with large groups efficiently. Furthermore, it is important to keep in mind that positive points can be found in teaching large groups as well. If we look at small groups we can see that there are also disadvantages in that. Therefore, we can say that teachers will find interesting points in teaching large groups if they look for them.
