Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

$6million for this year is just the tip of the iceberg.
According to Mountain View Voice for Peace website, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have so far burdened Mountain View with $250million in future debt, and it will keep eating into city services for generations.
This is the price that the American people will pay for not speaking out. The quote by Edward R. Murrow comes to mind, "A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves."

Mehdi Hasan exposes misconceptions about the continent

05 Sep 2011 19:31 GMT | Politics, Asia, US & Canada, Australia, Pakistan
A senior al-Qaeda leader believed to have been responsible for planning attacks on the US, Europe and Australia has been arrested in southwest Pakistan, according to the Pakistan army.
Younis al-Mauritani was detained on Monday in the suburbs of the southwestern city of Quetta along with two other high-ranking Al-Qaeda operatives, the military said in a statement.
"In an intelligence-driven operation by Inter-Services Intelligence in co-ordination with Frontier Corps Balochistan, a senior al-Qaeda leader, Younis al-Mauritani, mainly responsible for planning and conduct of international operations, was nabbed," the statement said.
"Al-Mauritani was tasked personally by Osama bin Laden [the slain al-Qaeda leader] to focus on hitting targets of economical importance in United States of America, Europe and Australia.
"He was planning to target United States economic interests including gas/oil pipelines, power generating dams and strike ships/oil tankers through explosive-laden speed boats in international waters."
Co-operation between the CIA and Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, led to the arrests by the paramilitary, it said, without saying when al-Mauritani was detained.
The army named the two other senior operatives who had been arrested as Abdul Ghaffar al-Shami and Messara al-Shami.
Western intelligence officials from two separate countries confirmed al-Mauritani was part of al-Qaeda's high-level team in Pakistan, and linked to threats against Europe.
"We applaud the actions of Pakistan's intelligence and security services that led to the capture of a senior Al-Qaeda operative who was involved in planning attacks against the interests of the United States and many other countries," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters.
However, al-Mauritani is not listed on either the FBI's "most wanted" list or the US treasury department's list of global terrorists.
"Interestingly one has to see whether this was indeed a credible threat as the military claims," Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder reported from Islamabad.
Despite recent breaks in the relationship between US and Pakistan's spy networks following the US covert killing of bin Laden in Pakistan in May, the army heralded the co-operation that led to the arrests.
"This operation was planned and conducted with technical assistance of United State Intelligence Agencies with whom Inter Services Intelligence has a strong, historic intelligence relationship," the military said.

With Mitt Romney's sweep of Tuesday's primaries, he will almost certainly be President Barack Obama's Republican opponent in November.
Romney has vowed to make the economy the chief issue against Obama, and he is sure to portray the president as an enemy of free enterprise in order to draw a contrast with himself. How fit is Romney's claim to be a champion of economic freedom?
The former Massachusetts governor and private-equity capitalist speaks often about free enterprise and the need for government to let entrepreneurship pull the economy out of its current doldrums. This sort of rhetoric is common for Republicans, who then proceed to violate economic freedom.
President George W. Bush, in a weird Orwellian manner, took this contradiction to its final stage of absurdity when he said during the 2008 financial debacle, "I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system." For Bush, the free-market system apparently is not constituted by free-market principles. But if that's the case, what is the system constituted by?
Republicans may not typically speak so bluntly, but to most of them "the free-market system" isn't a set of principles; rather it is an emotional slogan to be spoken, especially as an election approaches. It's a way of saying, "Vote for us because the other guys aren't good Americans like we are."
Romney likes to say, "We are only inches away from ceasing to be a free market economy." But that must mean we now have — and have had — a free-market economy. Does he really mean that? If so, does he agree with Bush that free-market principles were "abandoned" with the bank bailouts like TARP (which Romney favored) and the GM and Chrysler rescues?
Another implication of his position is that the free market was responsible for the housing and financial debacle. We're not likely to hear Romney say this — it would concede too much to Obama — but it's logically implied by Romney's remarks.
This position diverges from what free-market advocates think happened. The essential story is this: Low-interest-rate money from the Federal Reserve, aggressive government policies to increase homeownership — even among people with bad credit histories or low incomes (or both) — and additional government intervention combined to create an unsustainable bubble in the housing industry, which in turn helped increase the fragility of the financial sector. Dubious mortgages became the foundation of widely held securities and derivatives, facilitated by government-sponsored enterprises — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — and a government-licensed rating cartel. Then the bubble burst.
Does Romney give even a hint that he understands this? If so, he wouldn't be talking as though the free market currently exists and as though we still have it to lose.
Beyond that, Romney expresses his orientation toward political economy when he says, "Washington has to become an ally of business, not the opposition of business." A free-market advocate would know this doesn't exhaust the alternatives. Government should be neither an ally nor an opponent of business, because both imply interference with private property and free exchange.
This may be harder to see in the case of a business-government alliance. One need only remember that we live in a world of scarcity. If government helps one industry or firm, it must do so by channeling scarce resources away from other uses. This disables the process by which entrepreneurs attempt to devote resources to purposes most favored by consumers. It's a form of government privilege, which many businessmen are all too happy to receive — at the expense of others. There is a world of difference between being pro-market and being pro-business — a distinction that apparently escapes Romney.
Of course, Obama could honestly say he agrees with Romney's statement about business and government. He too believes government should be business's ally. Just ask Jeffrey Immelt of General Electric, who chairs his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, and Jim McNerney of Boeing (and formerly of GE), who chairs the President's Export Council. Romney and Obama's differences over the precise mix of government and business decision-making power should not fool anyone into thinking they have a fundamental disagreement.
Once again, the presidential election will present an echo, not a choice.

Author has written 5 stories for Twilight.
I love the idea of time travel and I was looking for inspiration to finish DaD, when my research got me immersed in 1917, by accident. I had read TKegl's "Beyond Time" a while back and I got all warm and fuzzy just thinking about how easy and brutal life must have been back then. The seed for "About Time" had been planted, but I kept trying to finish DaD without any luck. I finally gave in to my imagination.
"About Time" starts out with a character death, [not for the faint hearted]. While this is a Bella/Carlisle tale, I honor her and Edward's relationship with ample ardor, as I believe the loyal Bella would have done. Therefore, the tide of her affections doesn't begin to turn until chapter 24!! Not for Edward haters, sorry. Read it here or find it at:
Mature Readers may find my other Twilight Fan Fiction at the following locations:
NOW WHAT? Was the thought was running through my head after I finished reading 'Breaking Dawn'. I simply couldn't let the story end there, afterall, these are characters that live forever and I wanted to know. Thus, was born my second fanfic, "Sunset Riders" here or at:
After being chastised for my adult themed continuation, I was begged for a teen friendly version of SR, so I present "After Sunset" here on fanfic or at:
My first attempt at fan fiction, "Midnight Sun Completed" is a measure of my frustration at needing more of Edward's POV during his discovery of Bella and True Love. So deeply enmeshed in his character, I literally felt compelled to complete his view of 'Twilight':
It is what it is, folks. I've tried and tried to finish Danger at Dusk, and I'm just not getting it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up. BUT - I just couldn't wait any longer to post my newest Fan Fic "About Time"."Danger at Dusk" still exists in part, at:

It's unfortunate that this hotel is adjacent to train tracks with many trains travelling by. The trains cause the building to shake. Otherwise, this was a nice, modern, clean and professionally run HGI.
This hotel is very modern and clean. The restaurant is very tasty. The only thing unpleasant was checking in. It was a lady that check me in, Lory, or Laura. She was very unprofessional and barked at me(instead of talking) all the directions and info. There was a line of people behind me waiting, and instead of letting me move on so she could help others she extremely over explained everything. I believe it would be very beneficial for the hotel to have employees that can read body signals, which I believe was not her strong point. I think my body language was very obvious that I needed to get going and she needed to not make others wait unnecessarily. Other than this I love the style and food at this hotel.
I stayed here on Friday night because I like Hilton Hotels. The hotel is right across he street from the Mankato civic center, so if your going to an event there, this is very convenient to stay at. hey do have Internet both wifi & hard wired in the rooms.There is a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, ironing board & iron and a hair dryer in the rooms. They also have a pool & hot tub, a business center, fitness facility and a restaurant on site. when parking there for the night, it is best to park on the third floor of the attached parking ramp and enter the hotel on the third floor level also. this is a fairly new hotel, very clean with very helpful staff from what I have witnessed.
Great hotel overall. Very friendly people, clean, and the restaurant was fantastic....excellent location too. Many businesses are "walkable" and they have a sky walk to stay out of the frigid temperature. My husband and daughter had quail at the restaurant - I'm not a big meat eater but tasted it ... FABULOUS!
My wife and I stayed here last weekend and had a very romantic and relaxing weekend! From checking in, to relaxing in the room,the hotel is wonderful. The location is great and Mankato is a very nice city to visit.
Ask for a room away from the street to avoid being woken by the loud train. Fan on heater/AC unit is also loud and theres no fan speed control to turn it down. Overall, this is the nicest hotel in Mankato as far as amenities. I have eaten at the restaurant numerous times and Olives does an excellent job. Decent restaurants and bars are within walking distance.
We paid extra for a "suite" which offered nothing more than your average hotel room. It was very noisy between the neighbors, people in the hallway and the train right outside. There was hair on the bathroom floor and the shower did not seem clean. The pool was freezing, and parking was a nightmare, especially for how far we had to carry our newborn son. The biggest reason for us refusing to stay here in the future, is that housekeeping stole our Nook.

How could I go about making this dress?
I love this style of dress and wish to make my own. I consider myself intermediate level and have successfully made my own patterns before. However this style is confusing me – it appears to be just two pieces (front and back) with no obvious gathering. I have tried to look for similar patterns without success. Is the fabric cut on the bias and that creates these really cool 'folds?' Or is it done through veeery subtle ease stitching?
Also, to copy the asymmetrical hem style, would I cut the hem in a ( shape and the folds would create the triangle effect, or should I cut triangles? Any help or tips or links to similar patterns would be GREATLY appreciated! :)

Looks like a trapezoid tunic, cut on the bias, with godets inserted at the hem. If you cut it straight across the hemline, rather than curving it, you will get the drooping sides.

Colin Firth Doing Neuroscience Now
Colin Firth has been credited as one of the coauthors on a recently published paper about the brain. Is there nothing he can't do?!
RELATED ON VULTURE: Adele cancels her tour
Firth guest-edited an episode of a British radio show this past December that contained a segment in which politicians' brains were scanned to see if there was a physiological difference between conservatives and liberals.
RELATED ON VULTURE: See which movie won the box office over the weekend
After the segment aired, a neuroscientist continued with the experiment, looking at 90 more subjects, and finding that, yes, there seems to be some difference in brain scans.
No, they don't really know what that means or why that would be, but the results of the study have been published in Current Biology, and Colin Firth is now even more dreamy and accomplished than he was before. [BBC]

How the median income earner could retire at 52
If you'd like a fuller version of what's below, please do buy my latest book
Early Retirement Strategies for the Average Income Earner, or A Critique of the Curiously Ordinary Life of the Everyday Worker-Consumer
Available on iTunes, Kobo, and Barnes and Noble – Only £0.63 ($0.99)
Also available on Amazon, but for $3.10 because I'd get a much lower cut if I charged less!
Over the summer I worked out that a 35 year old earning the median salary could potentially retire at 52, if they just stop buying crap they don't need now. In contrast, the expenditure levels of the average worker-consumer effectively tie them into working until the current standard retirement age of 68.
This post is simultaneously a critique of the ordinary worker-consumer and of the Extreme-Early-Retirement model, which I don't think can be applied in its fullest sense to an average person in the U.K. (Although if someone wants to modify my stats using different investment models to see if the retirement date could be brought forward, I'd be interested!).
In this blog post I compare two hypothetical 35 year old individuals (4) who both earn the median UK salary. One individual has average consumption and expenditure while the other has in mind the goal of retiring as early as possible and so is much more frugal, without completely having cut themselves off from society.
As testimony to my lack of Open Office Calculator and Inkscape skills, this is represented below:
To make reading the above more meaningful, you should refer to this spread sheet throughout – Comparing 33 years of expenditure
For the sake of making an easy comparison, I've used expenditure figures based on one person living alone for the remainder of their life, and imagined that they have just bought their first property at the age of 35. The reason for selecting a 35 year old is because this is the age by which most people are settled into a stable career, and this is also the age by which most people are at least starting to think about retirement, if not yet looking forward to it in the near future. It also happens to be the age at which today's typical graduate student can reasonably have expected to have paid off their student debts and have some kind of savings towards their first property. Although the figures in each expenditure category will vary considerably depending on variables such as age, or household make up, the levels of expenditure are generally not going to be that far away from how the majority of people spend their money for much of their lives, and thus most people should at least recognise something of their own and their friends' expenditure habits in these figures.
However, to satisfy those who just can't get over the problems of using averages when variables which will differ widely, I've included a link (4) to the spread sheet where I've done my calculations so you can add in your own expenditure and income levels in order to personalise these calculations for yourself, or you can even modify at a deeper level to add in things such as inflationary effects, investment returns and changes in circumstance over time.
The purpose of this exercise is to put in the starkest terms possible how many years and months (expressed in decimal terms) of one average human life one individual would have to spend working to buy certain things for the remainder of one's normal working adult human life. In those stark terms – The expenditure levels of the average-consumer effectively lock them into working until the current standard retirement age of 67-8, while the frugal-consumer, assuming they maintain their frugal levels of consumption, will be able to retire when they are 51, or 14 years earlier, or in half as much time as the average consumer on the average wage.
Executive summary – A comparison of the 33 expenditure patterns of an average-consumer compared to a hypothetical frugal-consumer.
As far as I see it, there are three main factors which work together to keep the average 35 year old worker-consumer locked into the need to work for 33 years until they are 67-8. In terms of overall expenditure, the single most significant item is the 25 year mortgage with massive interest payments (costs 9 years). However, this lock in occurs primarily because the high cost of car ownership (costs 5 years), and what I can only characterise as fragmented expenditure on a range of unnecessary consumer frivolities (costs 4 years), which together means that a person earning the average median salary has no choice other than to drag the mortgage out over a 25 year period, and accept the attendant massive interest costs.
In contrast, what I call the frugal-consumer chooses to get rid of the car and buys a bike (saving 4 years), radically reduces consumption of frivolities (saving 2.3 years), and in addition makes some relatively marginal savings on necessities (saving 1.5 years) such as food and utilities. Taken together, these changes in lifestyle allow for an 11 year mortgage repayment term and much lower interest payments as a result (saving 2 years). All of this, factored with the lower cost of living, mean that this individual could potentially accrue enough savings over 16 to years to pay for 33 years worth of frugal consumption, allowing for an early retirement age of 52.
In future blog posts, I'll compare expenditures across four categories – housing, transport (focusing on the car), consumer frivolities and things which may be reasonably regarded as necessities.
If you can't wait, you can always buy my book – 'Early Retirement Strategies for the Average Income Earner'.
Boring but important – A few (selected) notes on data sources and expenditure categories and statistics
Categories of Expenditure In my analysis below I have four main expenditure categories, mainly drawn from The Office for National Statistics' Family Expenditure Survey (5) -Mortgage repayments -Transport costs -Necessities – food, utilities, council tax, clothes, pensions contribution, communication, maintenance of dwelling, health -Consumer frivolities – recreation and culture, restaurants and hotels, 'miscellaneous', household goods and services, alcohol and tobacco and education.
To get my figures for individual expenditure based on one individual living along I've mainly used the data from the ONS' family spending survey and divided by the average household size (2.4 people) where it makes sense to do this (dividing makes sense for clothes, but not for council tax). Because the figures are mostly weekly, I've multiplied by 52 to get the annual figures and then 33 to get the 33 year overall expenditure to the normal retirement age. I've calculated how many years working it would take the average consumer to pay for one category of expenditure earning the median net salary by dividing the total cost of 33 years worth of expenditure by this figure (£21, 240). Where housing costs are concerned, I've used the figures for the cost of repaying the average mortgage which is £121 000 according to this is money (6). Here, for the average-consumer repayment is over a 25 year term, while for the frugal-consumer, the repayment period is over an 11 year term.
Median Income
According to the UK Annual Survey of hours and earnings (7) median, full-time gross weekly earnings stands at £517.00 per week, which amounts to (*52) a median gross annual salary of £26884, which equates to a take home annual salary of £21, 240, or a monthly salary of £1770 after income tax and national insurance are taken out (£408/ week for those who like to work in weeks).
Potential problems with my modelling
Firstly, I don't take into account inflation, I've just worked out everything at today's prices, and neither do I take into account any returns you might make investing rather than paying down the mortgage, which is the main early-retirement strategy in my scenario. However, these two things being equal in both my average and frugal-consumer examples, you are still a lot better of spending as little as possible on anything other than the mortgage or savings. Another potential limitation of the model is that it is mainly based on someone having a stable job, and being single, although it is possible to 'stick to the programme' while moving around jobs and holding down a relationship, maybe even kids, just a lot more difficult.

Information is power (and money and freedom)…
Single parents and poverty
I was particularly interested in the middle section of this infographic which compares the life chances of children of dual-parent households with those of children from single parent households – while controlling for household income. It suggests that there is a rather strong correlation between single-parent households and an increased likelihood of their children falling into low income jobs in the future…
For the top income bracket, for example, children whose parents are in the top third of income earners are almost twice as likely as children from dual-parent households in the same parental income bracket to end up in lower-tier income jobs themselves.
As with many infographs, this doesn't seek to explain these statistics….
One thing to think about is the difference between day to day life in those two types of upper income household – Many of those upper income tier households would be able to afford to have one parent stay at home at least part-time, but for the single parent earning nearly 80k a year, which must mean a long-hours professional career in most cases and I can imagine the the child won't be getting that much quality parenting in such cases.
Secondly, this might not be measuring the effects of single parents but the effects on a child of relationship breakdown (obviously the two tend to go hand in hand).
Finally, I'm uncomfortably aware of the patriarchal norms lurking behind these data – if having one stay at home parent is what's behind the relative success of dual parent households, let's face it, we all know it's going to be the woman staying at home in 90% of cases, and in those single person households it will be the woman being the single parent in those cases and no doubt these stats will be uncritically wheeled out by the new right to support traditional ideas on the family
China and Russia – Among the world's worst human rights abusers
China and Russia have both been moved to the bottom tier of the U.S. human trafficking rank, joining the likes of North Korea, Sudan, and Zimbabwe, according to a recent U.S. State department report.
In China, the one-child policy and a cultural preference for male children perpetuates the trafficking of brides and prostitutes. Chinese sex trafficking victims have been reported on all of the inhabited continents. Traffickers recruit girls and young women, often from rural areas of China, using a combination of fraudulent job offers, imposition of large travel fees, and threats of physical or financial harm, to obtain and maintain their service in prostitution.
Forced labour is also widely practised in China, in which both internal and external migrants are conscripted to work in coal mines or factories without pay, as well as its continued use of re-education hard labor camps for political dissidents.
In Russia, there are estimates that 50,000 children are involved in involuntary prostitution and about one million people are thought to be exposed to exploitive labor conditions, including extremely poor living conditions, the withholding for documents, and nonpayment for services.
Human Rights Watch has pointed out that some of Russia's labour abuses have occurred during the preparations for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, with some workers enduring "12-hour shifts with one day off per month, having their passports confiscated, being denied employment contracts, and facing unsanitary and overcrowded employer-provided accommodations, with up to 200 migrant workers living in a one single-family home."
While the nature and scale of such absuses isn't on a scale with what's going in Syria, these two nations are not 'rogue states', they make up half of the BRIC nations. Given their status as rapidly growing and globoalising economic superpowers, combined with the size of their populations, the potential for further human rights abuses in these two nations profound.
It would be nice to think that this lower designation results in the U.S. imposing sanctions on these contries countries, such as voting against any IMF or World Bank loans. However, given the historical record of the U.S. tolerating and even supporting governments who champion capital over human rights, I don't think sanctions are likely anytime soon.
Rapidly Developing Countries – Set to become rich countries full of poor people?
Nice article here outlining some arguments for the continued relevance of dependency theory – ending on a particular pertinent prophecy by Joseph Stiglitz – that our world is set to become one of more rich countries full of poor people – but is this true?
Looking at the world's 10 fastest growing economies there seems to be mixed evidence-
If we consider the GINI inequality rankings for each of these countries, which are as follows – there is mixed evidence
Brazil scores 54 – is no. 13 in the inequality league table, and by far the largest population country up that high – so Stiglitz theory seems correct here…
China scores 47 and so has relatively high inequality, possibly reflecting the differences between the huge wealth in the East and rural poverty in the West. Then again, does this matter for development because China has a very similar level of inequality to the USA ( not that that's a good thing of course!)
Russia scoring 40 is in mid table obscurity – so no comment for now
India scoring 33 – has low inequality, making it more equal than Britain, then again it is the poorest in terms of current GNP per capita so these levels of inequality might just reflect the fact that there are masses of poor people. Given the rapid increase in billionaires recently i don't hold out much hope for india staying low in the inequality stakes!
Video Sources for teaching Research Methods
This post is simply a list of good videos for teaching and revising research methods
Social Surveys
Doing Sociological Research - If you can get over the desperate attempt to be 'down with the kids', then the section on survey research in education offers a very useful explanation of sampling and operationalising concepts such as social class.
Milgram's obedience experiments (youtube) – Link takes you to a contemporary version of Milgram's experiment, which reveals depressingly similar results to the original.
The Stanford Prison Experiment (youtube)
A good example of a field experiment measuring how the public respond differently to differnt ethnicities engaged in stealing a bike.
This is a second field experiment measuring how the public respond differently to differnt ethnicities engaged in vandalising a car from the everyday sociology blog (videos removed but a good explanation on the blog)
Unstructured and Semi-Structured Interviews
Many episodes of Louis Theroux are good for unstructured interviews – I especially recommend the following –
America's Medicated Kids (Youtube) – Louis even talks about 'being a T.V. interviewer in the introduction. Also it should be fairly obvious why 'unstructured interviews' are suitable for researching these children.
Louis Theroux Behind Bars (Youtube) In which Louis interviews a man sentenced to over 500 years in jail
This is an interview with Louis Theroux (Youtube) talking about why he likes 'unstructured interviews' – about 1.13 in
OK – It's not a video, it's a podcast - but from about 5 minutes in there are some interesting results from research based on interviews with 18-25 year olds on the question of 'why they drink to excess'. Their insights tell you much more than stats ever can about youth binge drinking today.
Participant Observation
Tribe with Bruce Parry is a good, basic introduction to the advantages and Limitations of using Overt PO to research traditional societies in remote rural settings. I especially recommend the episode on the Suri in Ethopia.
For Covert Participant Observation, the standard 'classic video' from the late 1990s is Donal Macintyre's research with the Chelsea Headhunters (link is to college's estream and requires password)
Another 'covert classic' is the Secret Policeman – College estream link (needs password)
Official Statistics
The Office for National Statistics has a huge array of videos on youtube. Some of the most interesting include – (1) Immigration Stats (2) Household Wealth (3) Cohabitation in the UK (4) The Latest on the Labour Market, including unemployment stats
Secondary Qualitative Data
The Freedom Writers - (link to college estream, requires pass word) A film based on a true life story of a teacher who gets her disinterested English literature students to tell their own stories using diaries
The BBC's who do you think you are is an accessible way to introduce the usefulness of secondary qualitative data. This is a link to one episode on estream (password required)
TED Talk – what we learned from 5 million books - using google ngrams to quantify the content of books
Longitudinal Studies
The Marshmallow Experiment (Youtube) – Measures deferred gratification in children and then tracks the children through childhood to see the effects of deferred gratification on future test scores in education.
Another classic is 7 Up – This is the original 1964 documentary and the trailer for 56 up
Other Videos
It's a bit long winded, and it is a cartoon – but this is a good xtranormal video (link to youtube) that goes over the pros and cons of quantitative versus qualitative research – using the topic of researching children with ADD as an example.
Snow Day work due to school closure…
Whatever work you set your students this snow day, this is probably how most of them will interpret it –
Lay in (as if you haven't already done that)
Buy sledge
Go sledging
Don't break leg
or anyone elses
Have snowball fight with random people – must be random
just make sure you pick people that look like they fancy a snowball fight (no 'moany old bears)
Build snowman
not a 'rude' snowman -that's way too crude
Go home, eat cake
Engage in audio visual entertainment of your choice
Make sure you watch the news reports about all those poor people that had to go to work today.
Podcast on The 'New Criminology'
Bit rich calling it 'New' Criminology – since the term hails from the 1970s – but anyway, my enhanced podcast on the topic – You may also know it is as 'The Neo-Marxist Perspective on Crime' or 'Radical Criminology'.
This is really for A2 Sociology students studying crime and deviance. Enjoy the enthusiasm in my voice…

Shady Elders
"In the Waves," the opening track on the new Shady Elders EP, has a lonely, almost wistful breeziness, with crystalline guitar tones cutting a simple figure while another guitar sound flutters and swells around them. "Schoolmate," meanwhile, features ethereal guitar work with notes that ring out and melodies that recall girl-group odes mixed with surf pop. On "Cruel," Britt Rodemich brings in a little more attitude, lending the song the appropriate level of snarl, while the ringing, single-note guitar lead of "Salamanca" serves as a delicate counterpoint to the tune's thick, insistent bass line, propelling the vocals of Rodemich and Casey Banker, who sing in short couplets, letting the song build in volume and richness, resulting in the EP's strongest track.

Wilfried Zaha & Carl Jenkinson get England nod as five pull out
International Friendly: Sweden v England
- Venue: Swedbank Arena, Stockholm
- Date: Wednesday 14 November
- Kick-off: 19:30 BST
Coverage: Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live from 19:00 BST & on BBC Sport website
Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has won his first England call-up after the withdrawal of five players from the squad to play against Sweden.
The 20-year-old is the first Championship outfield player to be called up since Jay Bothroyd in 2010.
Arsenal's Carl Jenkinson and Tottenham's Tom Huddlestone are also in the squad for Wednesday's friendly.
Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott, Jonjo Shelvey, Kyle Walker and Aaron Lennon have all been ruled out.
Wilfried Zaha
- Born: 10 November 1992
- Position: Winger/striker
- Club career: Crystal Palace (2009-present)
- Professional debut: versus Cardiff (27 March 2010)
- Appearances: 98
- Goals: 11
- England Under-19 caps: Two
- England Under-21 caps: Five
Zaha made his Palace debut in March 2010 and has played for England at under-19 and under-21 levels.
His sensational form this season has helped steer Palace to the top of the Championship table after 16 games and attracted interest from a host of Premier League clubs.
"Have I seen anybody like him? No, not in my whole career I haven't," Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway told BBC Football Focus.
"He does it both ways, with his left and with his right [foot]. He lures you in and teases you, and before you know it he's done something.
"It's almost like when I was growing up, with the Harlem Globetrotters. He can do it all with the ball at his feet, but he also has a modern-day athleticism that is second to none."
Crystal Palace co-chairman Stephen Browett congratulated Zaha on his call-up.
"It's a great achievement for Wilfried, who celebrated his 20th birthday on Saturday," he told BBC Sport.
"He's been at Palace since the age of 12 and we're all very proud of him. A shining advertisement for our wonderful academy."
Zaha was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast and moved to south London with his family when he was four years old.
According to Monday's Daily Mail, his England call-up followed two hours of "frantic negotiations" between the player's representatives and the Football Association.
Zaha was reportedly torn after taking a call from Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba on Wednesday urging him to play for the country of his birth in the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
After his place in the England squad was confirmed, Zaha said on Twitter: "Wow everything's happening so fast."
In fact, Zaha could still represent Ivory Coast even if he plays against Sweden in Wednesday's friendly and will only be tied to England once he has appeared in a competitive international.
An FA statement confirmed the changes, adding that England boss Roy Hodgson had hoped to include Tottenham's Jermain Defoe and Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in his squad. However, Defoe is injured, while Oxlade-Chamberlain is not match-fit.
What England's players say about Wilfried Zaha
Daniel Sturridge : "I know Didier (Drogba) has been trying to get him to play for the Ivory Coast. We want the best players to play for England and the manager has picked him to be involved in the squad."
Leon Osman : "We have all been hearing about him for a year or so now. He came and trained on Monday morning and looked the real deal. He was direct, skilful and committing people."
Doubts were raised over whether Rooney and Walcott would be fit enough to travel to Stockholm after suffering injuries on Saturday.
Rooney went off after 79 minutes of Manchester United's 3-2 win over Aston Villa, while Walcott injured his buttock muscles in the first half of Arsenal's 3-3 draw with Fulham and was replaced with six minutes of the game remaining.
Jenkinson - who has represented Finland at Under-19 level - has started eight games in the Premier League for Arsenal this season.
Huddlestone made his England debut in 2009, but has not featured for the national team in more than two years.
Zaha will want to do better than Cardiff striker Bothroyd, who has not featured after winning a single cap against France in November 2010.
Bothroyd's call-up was the first for a Football League player since striker David Nugent in 2007.

"i think you will find people think less of the England team than they do teh Scotland team."
People don't tend to think of the Scotland team at all these days, so how you can be thought of less than not being thought of at all is beyond me.

Palace fan here. Zaha's been unplayable for the past year. Surprised about the call up, but he's got the talent. I'd much rather have him running at full backs than Walcott or Lennon. I doubt he'll get playing time, but it'll be a great experience and shows that he's in Hodgson's plans.
I think Palace'll need promotion this year to keep him, but it's a real possibility as long as he's on form
Comment number 22. Posted by None Of The Aboveon 12 Nov 2012 12:10
Good luck to Zaha, who I've never seen but heard very good things about from those who have. And get well soon, Theo. I know how you feel; my buttock muscles are a bit tender after Saturday's biryani.

@19 did you read the article 'mate'
In fact, Zaha could still represent Ivory Coast even if he plays against Sweden in Wednesday's friendly and will only be tied to England once he has appeared in a competitive international.
Comment number 2. Posted by GBon 12 Nov 2012 11:21
Saw him play against Blackburn - he is obviously a very skilled player with potentially a massive future if all goes well (hint to Zaha: don't join Arsenal, you'll be injured in minutes).
Comment number 129. Posted by Carlito_Briganteon 12 Nov 2012 15:15
Revisit this thread in a year's time and have a laugh at all the negative comments. Zaha will make you all look daft in the coming days, weeks and months. People dismissing him on here simply can not have seen him play. Everyone else, sit back and enjoy, Wilf's got this.

they are struggling...with injuries! it's just a chance to put young players in with potential to get them in and around the squad...makes good sense, hardly rocket science now is it
Comment number 74. Posted by Simonon 12 Nov 2012 13:30
People forget that he has played against Premiership opposition already in Palace's passage to the semi-final of the League Cup last year. He certainly made Man Utd's defence look pretty ordinary. Zaha is a player unlike any in the current squad - he has pace, skill and vision and I think the higher the level, the better he will look.
His goal return is low because he plays mostly on the wing.
Comment number 186. Posted by Sharturseon 12 Nov 2012 18:07
I think I speak for all Palace fand when I say that we are very proud of Wilf. A less mentioned Zaha attribute is that he does his fair share of defensive work and puts in a real effort for the team. He has played week in, week out, for the last 2 or 3 years which has helped him to mature as a player. He wouldn't have got that chance playing for a top 10 prem team.

"I think Jordan Henderson is a big fish in a small pond. Put him in a Barcelona shirt and i think he will be as good as, if not better Iniesta and Xavi".
Thanks for that insight Jordan. Get back to training. :))
