Congratulations Ms. Tersegno on being named District Substitute Coordinator of the Month!! We appreciate all you do!! | |
OHS community footnote: Ms. Tersegno's role is pivotal in making sure our Knights' educational process runs seamlessly each school day. When a teacher needs to be away for whatever reason, it falls upon Ms. Tersegno so that the teacher's students receive a quality day of instruction through the proper coordination of substitute teaching. She provides a very valuable service here at OHS and we are glad she is part of our Knight family! | |

1) Seven Passwords You Should Never Use:
If you want to avoid weak passwords personally or at your business/work, start by steering clear of the following list:
Password
Arguably, this is the number-one and most common bad choice. Also prevalent are variations such as P@ssword and P@55w0rd!. These might be easy to remember, but they’re also among the first options hackers will try.
QWERTY
Easy-to-guess passwords often take root because they’re simple to remember. That’s the story with this hacker-friendly option constructed from the sequence of letters at the top left of the typical computer keyboard.
12345
Or, 98765. Or, 4567. You get the picture — no consecutive numbers (and the same goes for sequential letter combinations). You can only count on passwords such as these to expose your business to digital theft.
BusinessName1 or YourName1
If your shop is called Serafina’s Weddings, don’t set your password as SerafinasWeddings1. That would be a early choice for hackers looking to break into your valuable data.
Business or Personal Address
Skip it entirely, when it comes to passwords. Also avoid trying to mash together similar details, such as your street name and street number — i.e. Main215.
Date of Birth
Thanks to the Internet, it doesn’t take much effort to find a person’s DOB. Birthdays, birthdates, years of birth — all of them make for readily attainable passwords and are poor choices for your company.
Simple Dictionary Words
Especially if they’re related to your business or to yourself directly, don’t use them. No baseball, football, or soccer for your sporting goods store. No muffler, tire, or spark plug for your auto garage. Be careful with sports teams and mascots!

4) Monday's Motivational Moment:
A DEFINITION OF SUCCESS FOR OUR KNIGHTS
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you lived.
This is to have succeeded.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, essayist and poet (1803-1882)

Remember Knights:
No matter how you feel,
get up, dress up, and show up,
but never give up.
Make it a another great week Knights!
