One thing most people crave when they are in their homes or relaxing on their porch is privacy.

Your aluminum porch railings will act as a divide, giving you the privacy you desire. Depending on which railing type you choose will ultimately influence your privacy. Opt for a taller opaque style railing and you will create more of a secluded area or opt for a shorter railing design that is open and allow yourself to be more exposed – it is up to you!

During emergencies such as fires, a sprinkler system can wreak havoc on communications equipment and interfere with the vital transfer of information when it is most needed. Cellular equipment and wireless access points that can be kept dry and sealed becomes an especially important asset, allowing for emergency calls and wireless public service notifications to reach their destinations.
To address the issue of communications safety and performance when water is present, Oberon has merged its popular lines of ceiling enclosures for wireless access points and its line of NEMA-rated indoor/outdoor enclosures to create a new indoor, water-tight enclosure. The new 1028 series is available for both suspended ceilings (Model 1028-08-ANT5-F) and hard-lid wall and ceiling applications (Model 1028-08-ANT5-B).
This aesthetic, white powder-coated water and dust-proof enclosure has knockouts in the hinged door for ceiling-mounted antennas or watertight bulkhead connectors for antennas. The watertight enclosure is designed to withstand high pressure spray and washdown, making it especially suitable for use in healthcare facilities, laboratories, and other places where contact with water may occur.
The Model 1028s are deep enough to accommodate the Cisco 3600/3700 Aironet Series and other large wireless access points and DAS remote access units with external connectors and up to five antennas.


It is important to have a balanced diet for your oral and overall health. While these foods help to combat plaque buildup and tooth decay, no food can take the place of daily brushing and flossing. It is vital to continue your daily oral hygiene regimen and keep up with regular scheduled appointment with our Vienna VA dentist.

Q: How to nest a json object into an empty json object to create a geojson file? I'm trying to create a geojson file. I have a list of objects and their coordinates in an excel file. I brought in that information into a pandas dataframe and am trying to loop through the records to create a geojson file. I mostly have everything working but I'm trying to match the schema of geojson.io so I can open the file on that platform and make edits to the points and then save again as a geojson file.
I have mostly everything working, but to create the coordinates object, there is 2 brackets before the list of coordinates & I'm having a hard time trying to replicate that in python.
How do I code a nested object into another?

A: I figured it out! I just needed to discover the geojson package.

November | 2008 | Two cultures, one mind.
Inspired by Rob Mile's posting, I've been playing with PortableApps.com. All the machines at University are windows-based, and very Microsoft-focused, the idea of having a range of Open Source applications on a Pen Drive is something which does appeal.
I need to nod towards Web Worker Daily, which pointed me in the direction a while back.
The full installation (from portableapps.com was straightforward, but very, very slow, some people commented on it taking 10 minutes onto a USB drive, mine took getting on for four times that length). I love the menu and the interface, but unfortunately none of the applications worked on the university network, due to firewall issues.
I will take some time configuring the applications which I know I can adjust to work through the uni firewall, but it's not been the instant gratification experience which I was hoping for. There is a mac equivalent, called MacLibre, but as I only have regular access to two mac machines, both of which I own, it's not really useful for me.
I'm sure PortableApps fills a niche, and I will keep the suite on a pen drive 'just in case', and for when I access windows machines I'll always know I've got a suite of programs with me, but it's not the great tool which I hoped it would be.
Imagine if you can that there's been an all-out war, and that you're trapped in a nuclear bunker, not with your friends, family and loved ones, but with a dozen Open University advisors.
The courtyard centre in Hereford is purpose-built, light, bright and modern and apart from having to spend £2.75 on a slice of cake, a joy to visit. But for reasons best known to themselves they stick us in the studio theatre, which like most theatres has no natural light.
It reminds me so much of the school gymnasium, not in smell (that strange mix of wood polish and sweat which I've never experienced since), but in the way that noise travels – I can hear conversations on tables ten metres away from me.
Still, another couple of hours and I'm done, with another little contribution to the Christmas fund (I may as well simply divert my salary to Amazon and Play.com, and they refund me the difference at the moment).
And if you're in Hereford at the moment, pop in and say hello, I can recommend the Christmas cake!
Lousy traffic on the way home from a placement visit yesterday meant that I ended up at IKEA. This is actually less than half a mile from my parents, so I pass it quite often, and their meatballs in gravy is probably as good an excuse as any that I bought a Wii Fit a couple of months ago.
Anyhow, I had in mind half an idea to buy a second computer table for my office. There's often a couple of us working from home, and it's always good to have somewhere to put my laptop.
For £15 it does the job a treat. It can lift to the height of my normal desk, but can also drop down so that I can use it from the sofa… or even bed! It also tilts.
The downside – it's not as stable a base as a normal desk (it can't be with only one leg!), and there's not much room for my mighty mouse (there is, but you have to move the laptop off centre which makes it rock more).
The rest of the day has been fairly steady, with an interesting school meeting about plans for new courses.
Have a good weekend everyone, I'm on annual leave on Monday so no posting unless my Christmas shopping goes really techie!
As mentioned earlier, here are the findings of a student activity trying to compare three of the most popular product management techniques.
These have been transcribed directly from flip chart sheets, and have not been peer compared – you may find contradictions!
No formal tools Formal tools e.g. RACI, WBS etc.
It's a frequent classroom activity, to compare and contrast two different 'things'. When there are just two items it is relatively simple, but it becomes trickier when there are three items.
The way I get round this is to use a comparison triangle. It seems common sense, but the students always seem amazed when it 'works'.
The activity yesterday was to compare three PM techniques, PRINCE2 v SCRUM v PMBOK. The first thing is to separate the class into three groups – A, B C. I then put the following triangle up (some of my students know how much I 'like' triangles.
(If you're doing this 'ad hoc', then it's simple enough to create this on the fly).
The 'points' are the items, the 'sides' are the group letters. So Group A evaluate PRINCE2 v Scrum, Group B evaluates Scrum v PMBOK, and Group C evaluates PMBOK v PRINCE2.
As the findings may be of use for other people comparing these techniques, I'll create a separate posting with the results of this activity, with the caveat that these are the student's findings, not mine!
I've added another site to my RSS feeds, this one being LifeHacker. The mix of techie stuff, lifestyle and strangely cooking tips means that you never know what you're going to find there.
One thing that popped up a couple of days ago was a link to iSerenity. The site is simple in style, but does the job, providing a number of ambient noises for background working. I've already got my favourites, the restaurant noise is great to help me feel that I'm working where other people can see me, whereas I've fallen asleep a couple of times (on the sofa!) to the sound of a train.
It's clearly a niché product, but it works for me where I don't want the distraction of 'real' noise, but don't want silence. I'm looking forward to trying it at work with headphones on.
I'm pleased to say cough/cold-wise I'm back to normal now, and almost running on full power. Looking forward to teaching this afternoon.
Whilst I'm still getting better, I've had to curtail most of my activities outside work. I had long planned seeing the Christmas lights being turned on at Coven, the local village to me, but foul weather and a healthy dose of common sense had kept me in.
So today has been spent sitting on the sofa, with the occassional web surf and working on my creative writing. I've also been able to chat to a very old friend who has just discovered the delights of MSN Messenger. He's asked for my advice about purchasing a webcam. I was able to point him to an earlier posting but the camera I recommended a year ago is no longer available. The closest I think is the Logitech QuickCam E3500 which he's (hopefully) going to purchase.
I've not done this before, but I will update the earlier posting with this information, as I still get a fair few hits on this posting.
Teaching tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday and a placement visit on Thursday – not exactly an easy week, but all par for the course at this time of year I guess.
Living together in perfect harmony at the Open Event in Harborne.
To connect to the Internet at home you will need an ISP – Internet Service Provider. Over the last few years these have become household names.
Prices for broadband connection have fallen dramatically, but one thing to be wary of is that the broadband speeds quoted by many companies are maximum speeds possible. The actual speed you will achieve is dependant upon your distance from the telephone exchange.
Some things to look for are 'bundled' deals from companies such as TalkTalk, Orange (which used to be Wanadoo, and before that Freeserve!), and Sky, who offer services alongside broadband. BT of course offers Broadband. If you're in an area which has cable, then Virgin Media offer similar bundles. Remember however that most broadband providers ask you to sign a twelve or eighteen month contract. Talk to your neighbors about what broadband service they use, and the speeds that they get.
Once online you can check the speed of your connection through a web site such as Speedtest will confirm the actual broadband speed you are getting. There has been recent publicity with regard to the 'capping' of broadband once limits have been exceeded, though if you only use it for email, surfing and OU work you are unlikely to exceed a gigabyte a month, be wary of peer to peer sharing and downloading video (such as BBC iplayer) as this can eat up your broadband usage.
You have to think about whether you want to go 'wireless' in your home. Nowadays, these are fairly easy to set up, but follow the instructions provided, and ensure that you have a 'secure' wireless network, otherwise anyone parked outside your home, or your neighbors can use your network. You will need a wireless adaptor for each machine that connects to a wireless network, though these are ubiquitous on laptops, and most desktop machines.
If you don't need broadband, then you can still use a Dial-Up connection to access the Internet. You must make sure that your new laptop or desktop has a modem (sometimes called an analogue modem) to plug into your phone line – many new PCs don't have this, as it's assumed you will be using broadband. Tesco offers some good deals on dial-up broadband.
An alternative to 'fixed-line' broadband is mobile broadband (not to be confused with wireless broadband, see above). This is broadband over a mobile phone network, such as 3, or Vodaphone. The prices for this are coming down, and can provide a useful alternative if you are at all nomadic. As a rough guide, expect to pay about £50 for a 'pay as you go' modem with data costs from £10 per gigabyte, or you can have the modem for free for a 12/18 month contract with an equivalent cost per month for up to 3 gigabytes.
The most recent version of Microsoft Windows is Vista. This comes in five different versions, but for home use there are two main versions. Windows Vista Home Basic runs on older machines, and those with limited memory and graphic cards… any machine up to two/three years old should run Home Basic, and the OS is frequently included on new, bottom of the range PCs. This will be fine for most ALs, however you will not have access to the rich media experience (fancy graphics and usability) of Vista Home Premium – PC's which offer this operating system will usually cost more.
A word of warning, there are horror stories abound of people upgrading their machines from Windows XP to Windows Vista. This is not a simple matter of 'insert DVD and forget', ensure that you have a backup of all important files.
Open Office is provided by the Open University on their Applications CD, for use by students and teachers, but you must remember to save in .doc or .rtf format, otherwise students will be unlikely to see your comments.
Remember, that students, and staff should be saving all word processing files in .doc, not the more recent .docx format.
There are alternatives to the Internet Explorer browser, which offers greater online security, and perform quicker. Mozilla, Opera (and Safari for mac users) are all valid alternatives, and offer functionality at least as good.
Finally, it is important that you back up files and folders. A new development is online backup, where your data is securely transferred across the Internet. Get Dropbox is a useful service to allow you to synchronize files across many machines.
Mozy offers a free 2Gb service for both PCs and macs which I have used for months with few problems, including restoring files. If you use the link below, then I get some extra storage space for all who sign up.

You have exposed your service on an external port on all nodes in your
cluster.  If you want to expose this service to the external internet, you may
need to set up firewall rules for the service port(s) (tcp:30357) to serve traffic.

I also tried to create the service from the Kubernetes dashboard with the same result. It creates the service and almost inmediately there's no service.
Sorry for the huge post. I hope you could help me out. Thanks.
EDIT
Thanks to @Pixel_Elephant. After remove the label 'kubernetes.io/cluster-service: 'true'' in both files: grafana-service.yaml and heapster-service.yaml the service could survive.
Just another one more step:
In influxdb-grafana-controller.yaml change the:
- name: GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL
            value: /api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/monitoring-grafana/

for
- name: GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL
            value: /

and I could finally access to Grafana dashboard in http://192.168.99.100/< NODE_PORT>/

A: Remove the kubernetes.io/cluster-service: 'true' label.

Igor Panarin, dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry School for future diplomats, believes that President Obama will announce martial law by the end of 2012.
He explains:
"There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur."
In 2009, Panarin lectured at the Diplomatic Academy where he said that he believes that the US will begin to collapse in 2010. He compared America to Nazi Germany and blamed the US for the global financial crisis that destroyed the Russian economy.
Panarin said that American society is in decline, referencing school shootings like Columbine. Combined with the banker bailouts in 2008 as proof that the US is no longer the global dominating economy, Paranrin believes that the American dream is over.
He asserts that mass immigration, economic decline and moral degradation will plunge America into a civil war that will center on the collapse of the US dollar.
Panarin created a map of how he perceived the US would divide. He asserted that parts of the US would be taken over by foreign interests.
Considering the social climate emerging in America, Panarin's words seem prophetic.
Lubbock County Judge Tom Head said on a local FOX affiliate station that he is convinced that Obama's re-election would spawn civil unrest which would justify the US government's use of martial law to quell the public. Head is seeking an increase in local taxes to "beef up" the Lubbock County Sheriff's office and district attorney's office.
Head expressed concern that Obama would deploy UN NATO troops onto US soil should civil unrest be declared.
Head said:
"He's going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the U.S. to the United Nations, what's going to happen when that happens? I'm thinking worst case scenario. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe…we're not just talking a few riots or demonstrations."
In March of 2012, Obama signed the National Defense Resources Preparedness (NDRP) executive order that declared peacetime marital law.
Obama granted himself authority over all domestic energy, production, transportation, food and water in the name of National Security.
The NDRP has roots in the Defense Production Act of 1950 wherein the US government was empowered to dispense "national resources" in the event of a national emergency that would define any or all Americans as a challenge to the government. Control over all US citizens would be required to maintain continuity of government.
The president and advisors would be able to use this directive as they saw fit if the situation warranted.
It was no mistake that the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) declared the domestic US a "battlefield". The ability to detain any American citizen without charge or trial, solely on suspicion is key to the power of the NDAA.
As defined in the NDRP, the President allocated control over American resources to specific federal agencies to oversee their dispensation.
The Secretary of Defense has power over all water resources
The Secretary of Commerce has power over all material services and facilities, including construction materials
The Secretary of Transportation has power over all forms of civilian transportation
The Secretary of Agriculture has power over food resources and facilities, livestock plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment
The Secretary of Health and Human Services has power over all health resources
The Secretary of Energy has power over all forms of energy
Under Nazi-controlled Germany, the beginning of Totalitarian control was evidenced in May of 1942 when freezing of food prices led to national rationing in 1943.
With the Nazis controlling resource dispersion, all citizens needed ration cards to obtain food, gas, and even a vacation pass that allotted the restriction of movement.
Between the NDAA and NDRP, a Nazi-model of control over the general population in America is laid out.
The Executive Branch, having been given the power to control all resources that are necessary to sustain all citizens, they have forced Americans to become completely subservient to the US government.
The executive order is not permitted by the US Constitution that states:
"All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."
The advent of executive orders completely circumvents the power of the Congress and gives the Executive Branch unilateral power. The use of executive orders has become popular as a way to control America in wartime and advent of national emergencies.
Obama has set a precedent by announcing the pre-cursor to suspension of the US Constitution during peacetime.
The first suspension of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights was performed by Abraham Lincoln during the US Civil War. This enabled Lincoln to authorize the unlawful detainment of "political prisoners" without Congressional approval.
The second declaration of unconstitutional detainment of US citizens was ordered by President FDR in 1941 with the roundup of Japanese-Americans who were sent to detainment camps to be held without charge during WW II.
For the past 30 years, plans for the takeover of America have been laid in a long line of executive orders.
By stifling Congressional approval, the Executive Branch has been empowered to detain any and all US citizens, suspend all media and restrict any and all Americans in any and all ways deemed appropriate by the President.
We are in the midst of a Fascist takeover of our Constitutional Republic.

What is the fastest growing medium in classical music?
As with other genres, videos now play a main role in classical music. Most concert goers will search the net for videos of the performer they are about to see and get an idea of what they can expect.
The results they find, for the most part, are live recordings of varying quality. The true possibilities of the video as a medium in telling a story in manifold and powerful ways are barely even recognized or utilized.

Is Kent ready for cottage-style developments? Council votes Tuesday
Monday, November 17, 2008 12:50am
A revised ordinance to bring cottage-style housing to Kent goes Tuesday before the City Council for approval.
The City Planning and Economic Development Committee voted 3-0 on Monday night to recommend approval to the Council of the ordinance. If passed, the measure will allow developers to build up as two cottage-housing projects. No cottage-style housing developments currently exist in the city.
Cottage-style housing developments feature small, detached single-family homes clustered around a common open space with garages and parking located away from the homes. Under the measure, cottage homes in Kent would need to be 1,500 square feet or less. Carriage homes, which would be built above the detached garages, would need to be 800-square feet or less.
The City Council voted 4-3 Oct. 21 against the original ordinance. Council members asked city staff to allow fewer homes in denser neighborhoods and to require that neighbors of a proposed development be allowed to comment on the project. The Council sent the ordinance back to city staff and the planning committee.
"This is a demonstration ordinance to find out what does and doesn't work," Councilman Tim Clark said at Monday's committee meeting. "The marketplace will determine if it works. There's no question it meets certain lifestyle needs. We'll find out if it's the time and place."
Council members Elizabeth Albertson, Clark and Ron Harmon form the Planning and Economic Development Committee. Harmon voted for the revised ordinance Monday, although he opposed the original ordinance last month. That was partly because too many cottage homes could be built in dense neighborhoods, he said.
City staff revised the ordinance to reduce the maximum density bonus from 2 times the existing density to 1.5 times. For example, developers would be allowed to build as many as nine cottage-home units per acre in neighborhoods zoned for six homes per acre rather than the 12 under the initial proposal.
"We believe the reduction still will result in an ordinance attractive to developers with the right mix of incentives and safeguards," City Planner Erin George said to the planning committee.
City staff also revised the ordinance to allow a neighborhood meeting to give neighbors a chance to comment on a proposal before approval of a project.
Another revision would allow developers the option to build underground vaults for storm-water detention.
Several developers and real estate representatives spoke in favor of the ordinance to allow cottage housing during a public hearing Monday before the committee.
"I congratulate the city for stepping up to this opportunity," said Sam Pace, a Kent resident and housing specialist with the Seattle-King County Association of Realtors. "You are headed in the right direction. Do a couple of projects and work the bugs out."
Developers have built cottage-style homes in Kirkland, Redmond, Seattle and other neighborhoods over the last several years.
The proposed ordinance would allow a maximum of 24 units per development and a minimum of six units. The demonstration ordinance would allow as many as two projects but would not be a permanent ordinance.
Council members on Oct. 21 voiced concerns about who could afford to buy the houses. But developers and real estate agents told the committee buyers exist.
"I know I could sell them to clients moving out of big houses," said Vicki Johnson, a real estate agent from Normandy Park. "Affordability won't matter to the people you are appealing to. They no longer need a 2,400-square foot home."
Cottage-style homes at Danielson Grove in Kirkland sold for a median price of $594,000 in 2007, George said. All other homes sold in 2007 in Kirkland for a median price of $779,000. The median home price means one-half of homes sold were above that price and one-half of homes sold were below that price.
Homes in 2007 in Kent sold for a median price of $339,000.
"Cottages tend to sell for less or at the median price," George said.

Digging Up. Atlas of the Blank Histories, a project by Lara Favaretto, presented by the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, is the winner of the second edition of the Italian Council 2017 call, a competition created by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Art and Architecture and Urban Peripheries (DGAAP) of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism to promote Italian contemporary art around the world.
By creating connections between History and stories and working amid different disciplines, Lara Favaretto has created a rich plotline in which different spaces and times intertwine in a continuum full of potentiality, discovery and narrative, able to critically redefine both the concept and the experience of a work of art, the exhibition, and the museum.


The 2016 Intergenerational Report from Treasury predicted that by 2050 the numbers of people in Australia over 65, currently nearly a quarter of the population, will have doubled. Average age expectancy will be over 95 for women and men. Where will those people be living?
Growing recognition in media and government forums of the need for a dramatic increase in affordable housing has prompted some activity at federal government level and by the NSW government. The slow, fragmented, and uncoordinated character of these actions to date suggests however that the true scale and extent of the risk of homelessness across the age cohorts has not yet been fully grasped by decision makers.
The media does highlight the massive problems facing young people, especially in areas close to cities. We often read of middle income young couples attempting to secure an affordable home at auction only to be stymied by cashed up investors. The successful bidders, their wealth- accumulating aspirations inflated by negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions can easily raise deposits for a sixth, seventh or tenth investment property.
These favoured investors may have started as modest earners, the "mums and dads" so frequently referenced by our Federal Treasurer, or they may be hugely wealthy already, or they may even be federal parliamentarians.
In all cases, they are individuals who from any consideration of equitable or efficient use of public funds, do not require such generous tax concessions to grow their wealth.
Less visible in the media are those older Australians who finish their working lives without owning a home. Reversing the trend of earlier generations, this cohort, retired people without homeownership, is growing every year, inexorably. Older women especially, because of lower and interrupted earnings have little superannuation and an even harder time trying to find paid work once they are in their sixties. Once they stop earning they cannot afford private rent.
Neither the NSW or the Commonwealth government seems to recognise that hundreds of thousands of older people without a home or substantial savings are vulnerable to homelessness once private rents are raised beyond their capacity to pay. Public housing lists are overflowing and waiting time can be years. Social housing offered by NGOs large and small provide decent and secure rentals to such individuals but can assist only a small fraction of those pushed out by ever increasing rents and house prices.
What happens to older people rendered homeless by high rents is that often they become ill and are eventually placed in residential aged care, at massive cost to the commonwealth.
Solutions, cost efficient for governments, attractive to large scale private investment and supportive of individuals do exist.
Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison we are told is to visit Britain soon to inform himself about how they are providing affordable housing, which they are with considerable success. He could also drop into the US, to New York or Washington D C, or to Canada for similar enlightenment.
All first world countries, like us, face rapidly ageing populations, greatly increased longevity, jobs growth mainly located in capital cities, and a global investment community where the will and the ability to scoop up city houses and apartments knows no limits, unless government starts to impose some.
In the UK, the US and Canada relevant instruments including specially designed government bonds, subsidies for large scale developments, partnerships with NGOs, and above all inclusionary zoning, that is regulation requiring developers to offer a percentage, perhaps 15%, of all new units as affordable, are keeping lower income individuals housed.
The NSW government has received advice from its Greater Cities Commission in support of inclusionary zoning, at a modest 5 to 10%. Despite this government's enthusiastic selling off valuable public housing stock, adequate funds to accommodate the 60000 currently on the NSW public housing list are still beyond this otherwise cashed up government.
The NSW the planning minister has acknowledged that current policies may produce more dwellings but these are not available to low or middle income people. They cost too much and the competition among bidders is grossly unfair. Rob Stokes has noted the distortionary effects of the negative gearing concession available to investors in housing. He has published for comment a proposal for streamlining and speeding up the planning process. His proposals would allow expert committees to override councils and agencies taking too long to reach decisions, and ensure higher technical standards and more consistency across the state.
NSW has also responded to the need for city based affordable housing by announcing funds for a 20-apartment social housing complex at Woolloomooloo in inner Sydney to be managed by the Women's Housing Company, a small scale but welcome decision.
While better planning processes would facilitate faster development of housing, they would not alone produce more affordability .At both levels of government it should be clear that if more housing comes onto the market without effective government mandates for inclusionary zoning for affordability, and without cutting back or abolishing the generous gearing incentives to those who are already home owners with multiple investment properties, then all the new properties will be gobbled up by the investors. Homelessness will grow from an established risk to a national catastrophe. Perhaps Treasurer Morrison may understand this logic better after his information gathering visit to the UK, and act with urgency to get together with his state colleagues to put coordinated and effective action in place.

We need to totally rethink our population distribution. From an earlier post: "Perversely, while nearly 90 percent of Australians live in cities we have quite a low level of urban population density relative to other developed nations. Given our large land mass, we've unsurprisingly allowed our major cities to spread out such that people have huge distances to travel to and from work. The cost of providing and maintaining public infrastructure is so immense it is crippling state budgets".

Ethnomethodology is a not a methodology. It is the study of members' methods. Or, less bluntly, the investigation of practical reasoning through the relationship between human practices and accounts of those practices (and, more confusingly, that the practices are, at source, already accounts).
Actor-network theory is not a theory it is a methodology (according to Bruno Latour (and who better to make such a remark)).
For a decade or so now I have been learning how to shoot video and how to watch it afterwards. There are no great mysteries to either part. I am not particularly good at the first part. No better than any other amateur film-maker. Over the years I have learnt a trick or two with foam and when (and when not) to attach semi fish-eye lenses.
Most social scientists are in a hurry with video footage. One of the ambitions of e-social science, for instance, is to have software that would 'image-crunch' hundreds of hours of video records into digestible summary statistics of the contents of those images. What I have learnt from conversation analysis is, not so much the array of conversational features it has identified, as the patience and care with which its practitioners examine recordings of social action. They will spend two hours examining three seconds of video footage, often three seconds that are almost perversely ordinary and uneventful. From extending the contemplation that literary critics would devote to Shakespeare to how praise is offered by one friend to another over a cup of coffee during their morning break, I have come to appreciate the wonder and ignored skill of our everyday accomplishments.
Each week two, three or as many as ten of us at SEDIT try to spend at least two hours watching a video clip and making notes on what's happening in it and how that thing is being accomplished by those present with whatever resources they have at hand. We look at clips of: colleagues complaining about other colleagues in cars, children playing in nursery, high rise concierges finding keys for maintenance crews, martial arts instruction, ufo-sightings and more.
The video is there less as 'evidence' that such and such a thing really happened, it is there simply as a reminder that such things can and do happen and to help see how such human achievements are ordered and reflect on how they are possible. Sometimes when the dialogue between us over the footage works particularly well we reach the point of re-specifying a more or less abstract theory that we hold dear as social scientists, and, of reflecting on the value of the practice in question. Sometimes we even get around to writing up what we find in published papers.
There is no necessary link between video and ethnomethodology, it just happens that a lot of members of that community use it, finding it germane for studying human practices.
As an empirical material, or rather assembly of materials (or rather practices of material assembly and analysis), video is also, fun. If you want to learn more then visit my online module.


Winnning Room held a Halloween campaign - Quickspin-tournament from Oct 29th to Nov 4th. The games were Eastern Emeralds, Dwarfs gone Wild and Pirates Charm. Hitting a scatter gave 1 p each and hitting the freespin round gave 100 p. Redbet held an identical tournament the same period. There were separate leaderboards inside the games and my scores were running different on the two sites so there were no doubt there were two separate tournaments.
I played on both sites and I finished 3rd on Redbet and 1st on Winning Room.
Two days after the tournaments finished I got mails from both sites. Redbet said I finished 3rd and had been credited 2,500 SEK. So far so good. However, Winning Room's mail said I finished 4th (!) and had been credited 500 SEK.
I have mailed to Winning Room several times about this for over a week, but I haven't got a single mail in response. When speaking to chat-support they say different things. Some claim that they combined the scores from Winning Room and Redbet and put them in one single leaderboard. Some have told me the tournaments are separate. No matter which one of those two it really is, I still would have won. If you look at the screenshots, you will see that my scores combined are much higher than any other possible combined scores. So with those rules I would still have won. Either 2,500 + 10,000 or just 10,000. I got 2,500 + 500.
The screenshot from Winning Room when 5 hours 29 min remaining of the tournament (I stopped taking screenshots when number 2 stopped playing). None of the top 3 played a single spin during the remaning 5.29 which the casino would easily be able to check (however, they say I am not allowed to see the final leaderboard for some reason! I have tried for over a week to get them to link me to the final leaderboards) However, as it said on the Winning Room in-game leaderboard I clearly finished 1st.
I sent them the Winning Room screenshot in the chat but they told me "alot can happen in 5 hours"... However, it's actually theoretically impossible even for all 3 to pass me in 5.29 no matter how fast they play. Even for only number 2 it is theoretically impossible.
The other two screenshots are from Redbet.
It is now 10 days since the tournaments finished, and still not a single reply from all my emails. The chat-support now tells me that the standings are final and will not be changed. Then say I was credited correctly because I didn't win (!). No matter how I look at this, there is no possible scenario I didn't win. I really don't understand what they are doing.

I'm in the process of finding a cast for a short film my photography studio is putting together. You can see samples of our photography work here and our last kid based project Vote for Chase here.
This is a mockumentary about four girls who go through the process of becoming flower girls. Think a mixture of A Mighty Wind, Glee and the Hello Flo commercials. I'm looking for girls who are naturally funny and can improvise well.
Each girl will be filmed at each of their respective weddings with a follow up interview with the coach on how they did and what they thought of the wedding.
The Sisters and The Brat weddings are scheduled for Wednesday 9/3/2104 with an early afternoon start time at the Lyman Estate in Waltham, MA . The Tomboy wedding will be at Mill No. Five shoot date TBA. See the end of this for all important dates.
I'm currently looking for four girls to play the parts of the flower girls. The roles are listed below. Our coach is 48" tall so I prefer girls shorter than her. This is a spoof/mockumentary so girls who are naturally hilarious is a plus.
She is always right and when she isn't things get bad. Does not approve of her mother's marriage because "he" takes mom away from her. Mom throws money/gifts at her to make up for her absence. Gets vindictive at the wedding, is very sneaky but deep down it's because she is lonely and just wish her mom could "see" her.
She is a "do gooder" really takes being a flower girl seriously. Is excited and proud to be in her first wedding.
Mostly in lala land. Looks up to older sister and tries to copy her but doesn't always get it right. Could care less about the wedding or being a flower girl. She is mostly there for comical cute factor.
Would rather be in jeans and sneakers and at the skate park. Mom is a stage mom with high ambitions of having a princess flower girl. Is doing this just to appease her mom. Doesn't really like being the center of attention and though she tries not to show it has anxiety about doing it.
Please have anyone interested in auditioning for these roles email me hello@pizzutiphotography.com just so I have an idea of who is coming. I would like to interview each girl in the character they would like to play using the description above rather than go by a script.
As of right now this job is a trade for reel, stills & headshots, and can offer portfolio shoots or family portraits in exchange for your time when we wrap up the project. We have zero budget for this and it mostly a collaboration of local wedding vendors and our studio to pull it off.
8/31 or 9/1 – Meeting to go over wedding scenes, practice and dress fittings.

There really was a man who valued a plant, that grew one day and withered the next, more than the entire population of a city. In fact, the thought that God could love and have mercy upon the people of this city, made him so angry he wanted to die rather than to see them live.
I'm talking about Jonah from the book in the bible of the same name.
The book begins with the word of God that came to Jonah, 'Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me' (Jonah c1:2 NKJV).
Jonah's response was to attempt a 2500 miles journey, in the opposite direction, to Tarshish (in modern day Spain). I used to think the reason Jonah ran away from doing what God instructed was fear, but I was wrong.
Jonah didn't want to preach in Nineveh in Assyria (modern day Mosul in Iraq *) because he hated the Assyrians. Assyria was an enemy of Israel. If we could ask Jonah, he would probably give us a long list of atrocities carried out by Assyria against Israel.
Jonah didn't want to preach to Nineveh because he knew God is merciful and he hated the thought that these people, knowing what they had done, could be forgiven. How could God love those who hated Israel? They weren't a tribe of Israel. They weren't God's people. They worshipped other god's. They were responsible for great evil. How could God expect Jonah to preach to and pray for them? Rather, treat them as they deserve and wipe them out.
I'm skipping significant events, in what is a short book anyway, but I want to get straight to my point and what prompted this blog.
Last summer, when James Foley was the first of the 5 men murdered by Islamic State, in order to provoke 'the west' #, I was so outraged and angry. I can be a bit hot blooded and my first reaction isn't always my best. I'm going be honest and vulnerable here and tell you that my first reaction was 'kill them all'. Not just 'Jihadi John' but everyone in Islamic State. Eradicate them completely. This would have been my way of making the world a better place.
It was at this time that the book of Jonah came to mind. In c4:4 God asks Jonah 'is it right for you to be angry'? I felt God was asking me the same thing. Jonah, probably wisely, didn't answer but settled down to see what God would do with Nineveh, hoping, I think, that God might still destroy the city and everyone in it.
As Jonah waits, God causes a plant to grow over him to shield him from the heat of the sun and Jonah was pleased with it. (c4:6). The next day, though, it withered and died. This really upset Jonah. Then God speaks again. 'Is it right for you to be angry about the plant'? (c4:9) Jonah replies this time, 'it is right for me to be angry'.
God rebukes Jonah, 'You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left' (4:10-11).
I felt very challenged by this. Overcome evil with good sounds great until one is told to do it in circumstances that we're angry about. As I thought more, it also seemed a very weak and feeble thing to do. To my carnal mind a show of strength was called for not prayers of love.
I sometimes find the love of God scary. By this I mean it scares me what God could expect of me to demonstrate and express His love to others. In this situation, being honest, God wasn't asking much of me personally, as I hadn't been directly impacted by the events in Syria (by this, I mean, I didn't know the men) but God would have said the same even if I had.
This is difficult and may be offensive to some but we have to love. God moved my heart to pray for Syria, specifically, and those of Islamic State, that God's love would rain down on a place where a life seems so cheap and ending it so easy. I pray for dreams and visions of God, that even Jihadi John be saved (not that I think he should escape justice for what he has done) and spend eternity in heaven.
You see this is victory! That we overcome evil. That lives be transformed. Transformed lives transform nations. Let there be love in hearts where there is hatred right now. Think of the difference this will make.
Do you know as I type this, even now, part of me is still offended. It occurs to me that I have something like a plant, that we can all have something like a plant, that is a limiter of God's love being expressed through us. The plant was so trivial compared to the lives of 120,000 people but for a while, at least, Jonah valued it more.
God, forgive my hard heart and I pray (scary prayer time) that any carnal thing in me, that prevents me loving souls as you do, will wither and die. Fill my heart with love. Help me to love as you do.
* ironically Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, was the location of the tombs of both Jonah and Daniel. The tombs were recently destroyed by Islamic State.
# followed by the killings of Steven Sotloff, David Haines, Alan Henning and Peter Kassig, all carried out by 'Jihadi John'.

Caravanning offers you the freedom to couple up your home-away-from-home with your family hatchback and head off to your destination of choice. If you're about to hitch up and head off for the first time though, what should you be thinking about? It pays to be prepared, so read on to ensure you and your hatchback are fully geared up for the holiday ahead.
The weight of caravans vary considerably. As an example, the MTPLM (Maximum Technically Permitted Laden Mass) of the single-axle Bailey Pursuit is 1090 kg. For larger, European-style caravans, it can be as much as 2,500 kg. Your aim is to make sure your car will tow your unit comfortably, and our guide to matching your car and caravan should be able to help you establish this.
For smaller hatchbacks, such as the Ford Fiesta, you'll find that virtually all modern touring caravans will exceed the car's maximum towable mass. As such, the way forward for a camping holiday could be found with a trailer tent or folding campers - which are much lighter units than conventional caravans.
With larger hatchbacks, much depends on the engine size, fuel type, and gearbox choice. With the Ford Focus, for instance, the maximum braked towable mass varies from 400 to 1500 kg, and for the Vauxhall Insignia, the range is between 1250 and 1800 kg. Always check the towable mass figure for your particular model before making any decisions on which car or caravan to purchase. For this reason, we'd recommend working within the kerbweight of the tow car. As a rough guideline, 85% of kerbweight for beginners and up to 100% for experienced towers.
Once you're satisfied that your hatchback and caravan are safely matched, it's time to focus on ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey.
Fixed flange type towballs are the most popular type of towbar in the UK. With these, the towball is bolted to the towbar with two bolts. If you're new to the whole process of hitching up a caravan (especially on bumpy ground), this type of towbar offers the benefit of being able to fit a protective plate to your rear bumper, thereby removing the risk of denting your hatchback in the process.
Swan neck towballs are popular on the continent because they generally need less of a cut out of the rear bumper - they look neater as a result. The towball is fixed on the end of a slender neck; hence the name.
Removable towballs tend to be more expensive than fixed versions and are selected for maintaining the appearance of the tow car when not towing, or to prevent conflict with a number plate. Investing in one means you can detach and replace the ball assembly at your leisure and requirement.
Make sure you get a towbar that's compatible with your hatchback though, either by purchasing from your car's manufacturer, or by consulting a specialist such as Tow-Trust, where you can browse for suitable products according to the make and model of your car.
By law, your mirrors must provide you with a clear view of an area 4 metres wide from each side of the caravan, and 20 metres behind the caravan. Because your caravan is significantly wider than your hatchback, you're not going to be able to comply with the law without fitting towing mirrors. If you are pulled over and found to be in breach of this requirement, the penalty is 3 points on your licence and a fine of up to £1000 for each violation (i.e. for each missing mirror).
If you have a long journey ahead of you, you should look for a mirror that you are comfortable with; one that's easy to adjust but that isn't going to annoy you by vibrating when you're travelling at speed. Some car manufacturers offer model-specific towing mirrors, but these can be expensive. Clamp-mirrors (as opposed to strap-fitting or suction mirrors) are worth close attention: they fit onto your existing mirror housing, they tend to be resistant to vibration on the open road, and are easy to adjust.
Family hatchbacks are designed with both safety and efficiency in mind. With the extra weight of a caravan in tow, that efficiency will be reduced. The controls can feel different too: especially in strong side winds or where your car is overtaken by a high-sided vehicle.
Snaking, for example, (side to side movement) is not unusual. Modern stabilisers can help in this situation, but they generally won't improve an unstable caravan. However, distributing your items to give the caravan a more adequate nose-weight, as well as securing heavier items over the axle, can reduce this snaking effect and improve stability. Remember, caravans have low payload limits so check how much your kit weighs and whether you need it with you.
UK speed limits when towing are 60 mph on dual carriageways and motorways, and 50 mph on other roads unless otherwise stated. The rules across the channel differ from country to country, so check the limits for the areas you intend to drive through.
Allowing enough space for everything including taking corners and reversing because these are just a few of the areas where having a caravan behind you can make a big difference. To polish your skills, it's worth considering a manoeuvring course from The Camping and Caravanning Club.
It helps to have an insurer on your side who understands the needs of caravanners. If a dispute arises with another driver for instance, an insurer familiar with this type of claim is in a stronger position to resolve matters in your favour. Club Care has been providing car insurance to Camping and Caravanning Club members for many years, offering a range of great features, such as unlimited windscreen cover and up to 240 days European use cover is ideal for European trips.


After a far-too-long absence at the theater (I remember going to see Muppets From Space in a deserted theater like it was yesterday…), the Muppets return to the big screen in a big way. And as you can guess from the mention of seeing Muppets From Space, I'm a huge Muppets fan. Enough that I can rattle off obscure background Muppets and spot errors on the Muppet wiki. But I'm putting the fanboy aside to give a nice objective review. And that review is positive. Not because I liked the film (I did), but because it's a good film.
The Muppets are more than just puppets, just entertainment for kids. The Muppets are entertainment for all ages, treating the audience of all ages with respect and dignity. They may not have invented that kind of entertainment, but they rode it to a new plateau. Jim Henson was never afraid to tread new ground, always experimenting and improving, wanting to put out quality products that appealed to everyone.
Gary (Jason Segel) – Our hero from Smalltown who loves his brother and also the lovely Mary. His attempts to please both of them cannot continue forever.
Mary (Amy Adams) – Gary's long-suffering girl who has been waiting for him to propose for a decade now.
Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) – Evil oil baron who will buy the Muppet studios and tear it down to get oil. Spends most of the film trying to sabotage the plans to save the studio. And rapping.
Walter (Peter Linz) – Gary's brother who was born a Muppet. Becomes obsessed with the Muppets and their number one fan. And begins the crusade to reunite them and save their theater from Tex Richman. As fun as Walter is to follow, I'm not sure he has what it takes to be an iconic Muppet. But when there's a sequel they can probably come up with something cool to do with him.
Kermit (Steve Whitmire) – Our Muppet leader who realizes that the gang has dispersed and must go and get everyone back together to save the day again.
Miss Piggy (Eric Jacobson) – Kermit and Miss Piggy have gone their separate ways, largely due to her gracious forcing of issues vs. Kermit's low-key attempts to keep everything together. She is now a high-profile fashion editor at Vogue. But true love cannot be defeated, even between a pig and a frog on two different continents.
The Muppets put out another killer parody trailer! I seriously cannot wait. Cannot wait. If you follow the Muppets on Twitter, they've gone more active there as well, with Statler and Waldorf making tweets.
Looks great! NPH is back, Santa is real, and the 3D is all over the place. But I'll probably skip out on 3D as I hate it. Still, will be going to the theater for this one!
November 4th Christmas comes early!


Issue The purpose of this article is to explain how to troubleshoot the LDAP Users/Groups in Archer.
You can use the Microsoft Debug view tool to troubleshoot LDAP users in Archer.
The name of the LDAP Sync Process is called "Archer.Services.DataFeedService.exe"
Go to Filter (funnel icon within Debug view) and open the filter. By default, the filter uses the "*" (wild card) under the section "Include" to capture information on all running processes in Windows.
Since we want to capture only the LDAP Sync process we will filter the Microsoft Debug view tool to capture only the LDAP Sync process. Under the section "Include" we will need to use this filter [LDAP Sync process ID] then click ok.
Then the output will appear like the example shown below which shows LDAP service capturing normal traffic. If there were errors with LDAP traffic, these may appear as well.
Hover your mouse over the LDAP configuration in question. At the bottom right-hand corner of the page, you will notice the ID: number for the LDAP configuration.
You will input that ID: number on the "TestLDAPSchema" page and click "Load LDAP Config" and that will populate all the settings of your LDAP config to the test page.
Next, you will need to populate the filter, you will need to copy the existing filter from the Archer LDAP configuration and past it into the Filter field the "TestLDAPSchema" page. Then hit "Query for Users" or other options as well. The output of the "Query for Users" returns the username and their groups membership plus other attributes. By using the TestLDAPSchema page it helps to find out whether you are able to pull the username and their group membership. For instance, in Archer LDAP Configuration if you are unable to pull usernames and their group membership you can use the TestLDAPSchema page to see if you are getting the same behaviour and if that case then you will go to back to your Windows Administrator check the LDAP server.
