He enjoys teaching dancers from the basic beginner to the extremely advanced, couples and singles looking to add some dance to their lives, and creating first dance wedding choreography. Ryan is an accomplished Pro/Am dance teacher who has won numerous top student and top teacher awards. While Ryan has worked for other ballrooms as studio manager and staff trainer, he feels he has found a real home at Just Dance Ballroom as an independent teacher in a role where he can focus on his students.
Ryan developed a strong work ethic and keen drive for excellence early in life thanks to athletics. He grew up playing baseball and football from the age of four and moved to the Bay Area for college to pursue football. It was during his college years that he took his first job at a dance studio. From the moment he took his first steps on a dance floor, he knew that dancing was what he wanted to do and has never stopped.
His athletic background created a natural transition into dance. Ryan is still actively improving and striving to be the best. He continues to learn and evolve his own dance vocabulary by exploring other styles of dance, making his teaching style more exciting. Everything he learns he passes on to his students so that they can be the best dancers they can possibly be.
His philosophy: "If you have the desire to learn, I can make you a dancer."
Ryan's athleticism, work ethic, and guidance from his coaches are why he is the ever-developing and accomplished teacher he is today.

For years, San taught ballroom dancing in a small penthouse studio in Oakland. His dancing motto was, "there's always an easier way." His main objective was to promote the elegance, grace and culture of ballroom dancing, but most of all, to bring out the pleasure and joy of dancing in his students. San's easy-going personality and patient step-by-step style of instruction encouraged all, including new students to ramp up their skills even after the first lesson!
San briefly retired his dance instructing duties to expand his business and open this brand new 10,000 sq. foot Just Dance Ballroom facility on Oakland's Embarcadero Cove Waterfront. But now, San is back! Look for him on Thursday & Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons teaching Ballroom group lessons for beginners.

Federico Bernardeschi believes the 3-1 win at Verona was "a clear signal to the rest of the league," as Juventus and Napoli break away.
The Bianconeri remain within a point of leaders Napoli at the halfway stage of the season, but open up a six-point gap from third-placed Inter.
"It's an important victory and we end the year on a high," the winger told Mediaset Premium.
"The equaliser from Martin Caceres was a slap in the face, but we got right back on track, which is what a great team always does.
"I'd say it's a two-horse race for the Scudetto, as we opened up a good advantage from the chasing pack and sent a clear signal to the rest of the league."
Today Inter, Roma and Lazio all shared the spoils, as only Juve and Napoli won in the top five.

Realizing the Full Earnings Potential as a CAT Adjuster
On my first deployment as an adjuster handling hurricane claims in Raleigh, NC, it very quickly became apparent which things were essential to success and which things weren't.
Equipment in general and gadgets in particular, weren't vital to my success. I didn't have the latest and greatest laser tape measure. I only had one, modestly sized fold-up ladder. Unlike some adjusters who towed a second home behind their tricked out dually pick-up, I drove a decade old Dodge Durango with pieces of pipe screwed to the top for a ladder rack.
My years of in-depth knowledge of construction really wasn't my most essential tool. Did it help? Absolutely, and I feel I did a better job having it. But, truth be told, I would have been able to learn a sufficient amount about materials and building composition as I came across it in the field. Sure I made mistakes here and there, but they weren't egregious, and I never make the same mistake twice. The learning curve was pretty manageable for me.
What was without a doubt, vitally essential, was mastering the estimating software appointed for use by the carrier I was representing – in this case, Xactimate. This is, in my opinion, the single greatest challenge to serious success for CAT adjusters. If you don't know your Xactimate (or Symbility, PowerClaims, IntegriClaim, Simsol, etc.), and know it well, you will never realize your full earnings potential as a CAT adjuster, plain and simple. Thinking you can just learn on the fly during a real deployment is a recipe for firing yourself.
There are a couple of factors at work here. First, Xactimate is not an immediately intuitive program and the learning curve can be steep. There are just a couple of things I know and retain in my memory on the construction end. When policy questions come up, the only skill I really need is the ability to read. But understanding and truly knowing Xactimate requires very specialized knowledge and skill that my basic reading, writing, and arithmetic cannot deliver in and of themselves. Pure and simple, you need training, and you need training prior to deployment. Second, I think that mastering Xactimate does more towards increasing your efficiency in closing claims than any other single item. Why is that important to a CAT adjuster? Simply put, because closing claims quickly means more satisfied customers, more money, more claims, better claims, longer deployment, and finally rock-star status with the folks at the home office. Closing claims quickly and efficiently with minimal hand-holding out in the field is the name of the game as a CAT adjuster, and knowing your estimating software can be the difference between a $15,000 storm and a $30,000 storm…not to mention almost a guarantee on future deployments with that firm.

On behalf of Law Offices of Kathleen G. Alvarado posted in personal injury on Friday, February 16, 2018.
It can be very hard for a Riverside, California, resident and their families to recover financially and emotionally after he or she gets hurt unexpectedly. While we call these sorts of injuries "accidents," in truth, there usually is someone who could have done something or avoided doing something that would have prevented the injuries.
Those who cause accidents that injure people can and should be held accountable for their actions. Moreover, while no amount of money can undo what happened, getting financial compensation for one's injuries can be an important and even essential step on a family's road to recovery.
At our law office, we use our legal experience, including our experience trying cases, to help victims of injuries get the compensation they will need in order to recover from what are often devastating injuries. For example, we have represented people involved in all kinds of motor vehicle accidents, including motorcycle accidents, bus accidents and accidents involving bicyclists or pedestrians. Of course, we also help people injured in accidents involving only passenger vehicles.
In addition to vehicle accidents, we also help people who have been hurt by negligent doctors and dentists by filing malpractice claims against those professionals who are responsible for these injuries. Moreover, we have helped people who have fallen down at a business due to a wet floor or some other unsafe condition on the property.
No matter why you've been injured, we are available to help you file the appropriate claims and pursue recovery from those who may be at fault for your injury. From our initial face-to-face consultation all the way through trial, our clients can count on us to give frank legal opinions and to provide persistent advocacy.

BOEHM, HANS: A popular preacher of the fifteenth century, known as the Drummer of Niklashausen; executed July 19, 1476. He was originally a shepherd at Helmstadt, between Würzburg and Wertheim. Up to the beginning of 1476, he had been used to play the drum and fife for rustic dances, but what he heard of the preaching of the Franciscan Capistrano (see CAPISTRANO, GIOVANNI DI) worked a great change in him. He alleged that the Virgin Mary had appeared to him and called him to be a prophet and preacher of repentance. In the village of Niklashausen near his home there was a picture of her already reputed miraculous and visited by pilgrims. Here, at the end of March, he began to preach, having burnt his drum in token of conversion. Lacking not only secular education but even elementary religious knowledge, he yet made a deep impression on his hearers by the innocence and purity of his nature. He did not stop with calling the peasants to repentance, but showed increasing bitterness against the clergy and nobles, who, he said, would find no place in the kingdom announced to him by the Virgin; taxes were to be abolished, no one was to have more than another, and all men were to live as brothers. His fame soon spread throughout central and southern Germany, and crowds of pilgrims, put as high as 40,000, thronged to hear him. He seems to have intended to lead them in an armed rising; but Bishop Rudolf of Würzburg had him arrested on July 12, and warded off the danger of a great peasants' war. Two days later, 16,000 of his followers appeared to rescue him, but were dispersed; and on the 19th, a recantation having been extorted from him, he perished on the scaffold as a heretic and enchanter.

The famous German mystic Jakob Böhme (often written Behmen or Boehme in English), born at Alt-Seidenberg, near Görlitz, Nov., 1575; d. at Görlitz Nov. 17, 1624. His parents were peasants, from whom he inherited, it seems, a strain of visionary mysticism. Unable to bear the rough outdoor life of the farm, he was put to shoemaking in the little town of Seidenberg, where he had a hard apprenticeship with a family that had no Christian principles, and got an early insight into the controversies of the age. With diligent reading of the Bible and prayer for
A visionary, however, he remained. He tells the story of a stranger coming into his shop and calling him by name, taking him aside to tell him he should be so great that the world should wonder at him, and warning him to remain true to the Word of God and to a life of virtue. Other visions followed. One day the reflection of the sun from a bright metal vessel in his shop seemed to infuse such spiritual light into his soul that the inner mysteries of things were laid open to his sight. He went out into the fields to seek the revelation of God's will in earnest prayer, and found his peace and joy only grow the deeper. None the less, ten years passed before he ventured to put down in writing what he had seen, and then he did so only on the encouragement of a new vision and as a memorandum for himself. The incomplete manuscript, written in great haste, which he called Aurora oder die Morgenröte im Aufgang, began to circulate among his acquaintances at the instance of Karl von Ender, a friendly noble man who was an adherent of Schwenckfeld's.
Thus despised and rejected in his own day, Böhme has been honored by some of the greatest minds of Germany in a later age; such men as Friedrich von Hardenberg, Jung-Stilling, Friedrich Schlegel and Ludwig Tieck, Hegel and Schelling received valuable intellectual impulses from his works, which also attracted much attention in England, where a complete translation appeared between 1644 and 1682. Besides those already named, the most important are Von den drei Principien göttlichen Wesens; Vom dreifachen Leben des Menschen; Vierzig Fragen von der Seele; Von wahrer Busse; Das Gespräch einer unerleuchteten Seele; and Der Weg zu Christo; including two against predestinarianism and two against pantheism. Böhme's influence has never been a popular one, because his train of thought is frequently difficult and sometimes almost impossible to follow. This is due partly to his lack of education, which prevented him from expressing himself clearly, but partly also to the depth and intensity of his thought, which has to struggle for adequate representation in words. With sincere longing, with real hunger of the soul he plunges into the depths of God's being. The traditional theology of the schools, with its strife about the letter, could not content him.
BIBLIOGRAPHY: The works of Böhme were collected in Germany by J. G. Gichtel, 1682, and an edition in 7 vols. was edited by Schiebler, Leipsic, 1831-47. The Eng. ed. is mentioned in the text.

Your YA novel pilgrimages just got a lot easier: Atlas Obscura has Map Obscura has created an interactive map of all the real-life places inhabited by the fictional characters of your youth.
Twilight may have been the book that launched a thousand teen road trips to the random-ass rainy town of Forks, Washington, but there are tons of worthier childhood and YA novels worth exploring–in the literal sense of the word.
Sure, you know Laura Ingall Wilder's Little House was somewhere on some prairie, but now you know that she lived in the Independence reserve on the Kansas border. "The places on this map might have once seemed mythical," wrote Sara Laskow in the map's accompanying area. of the great pleasures of growing up is being able to explore in real-life the world that you could only imagine as a kid."
Each dot represents a different character's setting, from Harriet the Spy and Holden Caulfield in Manhattan, to Ramona Quimby in a pre-hipster Portland, to Anne of Green Gables up in Canada and The Outsiders in Oklahoma. To keep the selection from getting out of control, the sites are limited to the US–sorry, Hogwarts. Click on the circle to discover who calls that spot home!
It's also interesting to see how the characters are distributed across the country; predictably, there's a shit ton of stories set in New York City/New England area, but I was also surprised by the number of books written about rural areas in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. I feel like that's a bygone tradition in children's literature–kids these days don't read about adventures in the great outdoors. Do kids these days even go outside? Food for thought.

I want to create a Canterbury where water is safe to drink and swim in and we have a low emission environment with improved transport choices – including rail.
I believe that with so many increasing environmental pressures, it's time for moving beyond self-interest, to taking decisive action for the 'common good'. This ultimately means prioritising a healthy and viable future for our kids and grandkids above all else.
As a qualified transport specialist with long-standing involvement in community issues, I bring my extensive experience as a leader in innovation, problem solving and bringing parties together to work out solutions. My understanding of the political process across local, regional and national levels will enable me to act effectively in creating urgently needed change.
ECan has never had a transport specialist on council, and I would love your vote to deliver in not only the transport space, but for our environment.

Esther Williams January 1955 found on classichollywoodbios.com
I am in love with Esther's untouchable red lips. This is such a glamorous look that is surprisingly easy to achieve. Make Up For Ever products are being used and all products are available on sephora.com.
First, even out complexion with a matte foundation if your skin is on the shiny side. Apply Mat Velvet + Mattifying Foundation in your shade. Apply a concealer to areas of need, using a product such as Full Cover Concealer. Dust with a loose powder to increase foundation wear and to absorb all those pesky oils. I like Super Matte Pressed Powder. The skin is matte but a bit of "highlighting" is necessary to make the complexion glow. Take a broad shadow brush and brush Powder Blush in Pearly Pale Pink down the nose and above the brow bone. Apply a perfect pink blush to the apples of cheeks such as Powder Blush in Candy Pink. Highlight cheekbones with a little more of Pearly Pale Pink. ( I must add that both of these shades are some of my all time favorites for complexion enhancing of pale to medium skintones.)
Fill in brows with a brow pencil in your shade. Apply a matte ivory shadow from lashline to brows for an eye opening look. I like Eyeshadow in Eggshell. Take the Powder Blush in Pearly Pink and line it under the brows. Blend downwards with a fluffy brush. Line top lashline with a nice black eyeliner such as Aqua Eyes Eye Pencil in Mat Black. Next, curl lashes. You can apply false lashes or lots of mascara to bottom and top lashes. I love the Individual Lashes in Elizabeth.
The lips are the showstoppers for this look. I would apply foundation or concealer to the lips for longer wear to even out the tone. The concealer will help the color from bleeding around the lip line. Apply Glossy Full Couleur Lip Gloss in #1, a bright, shiny red, with a lip brush. Emphasize your lip line. Apply as many coats as needed to achieve that full-coverage red look. A would say that 2 coats should do.
No look is complete without fragrance. I recommend a red hot fragrance such as Guerlain Samsara.

Noah left the Maritime Service on Aug. 28, 1945, due to World War II ending, and then attended college for a year at North Carolina State College before enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps on Aug. 30, 1946, to qualify for the GI Bill. CPL Noah served as a rifleman and firefighter before leaving active duty on Aug. 13, 1948. He then completed his degree at North Carolina State, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force through the school's Air Force ROTC program on June 10, 1951. Lt. Noah served as an engineering officer on C-82 Packet transports with the 56th Troop Carrier Squadron at Donaldson AFB, S.C., from June 1951 to March 1952, and then based near San Angelo, Texas, for Operation Longhorn from March to April 1952. His next assignment was as a C-119 Flying Boxcar engineering officer with the 61st Troop Carrier Squadron at Ashiya AB, Japan, from June 1952 to January 1954, during which time he participated in missions during both the Korean War and the First Indochina War in Vietnam. Capt. Noah then completed an Air Force Institute of Technology assignment to Stanford University, where he earned his master's degree in June 1955. His final active duty assignment was at Griffiss AFB, N.Y., where he served as a procurement staff officer at the Rome Air Force Depot until joining the Air Force Reserve on June 9, 1958. Maj. Noah received an honorable discharge from the Air Force Reserve on May 10, 1967. After leaving active duty, Joe worked for the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, Calif., from 1958 to 1963, and then with other corporations doing the same work until 1970. He then ran his own company for another 13 years. Joe and his wife Betty founded the Preddy Memorial Foundation which helps to honor his cousins George and Bill Preddy, World War II fighter pilots who lost their lives in combat over Europe.

Lisa Rinna's time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills might be at an end. Rinna went through a lot of drama during the Season 7 reunion, and it sounds like she's ready to quit the show for good. Is Rinna done with the RHOBH?
According to OK! Magazine, Rinna addressed the exit rumors and confirmed that she is currently on a break. She isn't sure about her future with the show, but she definitely sounded happy about not being in front of the cameras.
"I'm on hiatus," Rinna revealed. "I don't have any thoughts. I'm done. I am not working right now, and it is heaven. All I have to say. Heaven!"
When it comes to Season 8 of RHOBH, Rinna admitted that she never knows if producers will ask her back until right before filming. While she didn't confirm or deny her return, at least it did not sound like she is determined to leave the series.
"I have no idea. No one ever knows whether they'll be back until, like, five minutes before, to be honest with you," Rinna explained. "Who knows? I don't know what the plan is for me. I never do."
Rinna also said she wasn't interested in doing a family series with her husband, Harry Hamlin, and girls, Delilah Belle and Amelia Grey.
"Is that a rumor?" she stated. "I think we've done that. We kinda did that [with TV Land's] Harry Loves Lisa back in the day. I don't know. The girls are so busy. I don't even think I could hire the girls if I wanted."
ET Online reports that Season 7 of RHOBH wrapped with Kim Richards returning Rinna's stuffed bunny gift. The exchange left Rinna in tears, especially considering how she bought the gift for Richards' grandson. If Rinna decides to leave the reality show behind, this might be the last time we see her in front of the cameras.
In addition to the rumors surrounding her exit, Us Weekly reports that Lisa Rinna also discussed Phaedra Parks' shocking confession on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Parks recently admitted to spreading drug and rape rumors about her co-stars Kandi Burruss and Porsha Williams. While the ladies of RHOA were obviously outraged by the lies, Rinna took a different approach to the situation.
"You know what? I just Phaedra love," Rinna shared. "I really like Phaedra Parks. I think it's a really tough show to do, and I wish her well."
Bravo has already renewed RHOBH for an eighth season. Producers have not announced the official cast list for the new season and likely won't do so until production is well underway. Fans can only hope that Rinna is invited back and that she'll accept the invitation.
In the meantime, Bravo reports that Rinna recently took to the red carpet with her family in tow. The reality star looked thrilled next to her stunning daughters, who are beginning to make a name for themselves in the modeling industry.
Speaking of Rinna's daughters, she recently opened up about their careers and admitted that she is proud of their success. Rinna also explained how she doesn't have any fears about her daughters being in show business and is confident that they will remain grounded no matter how much fame their achieve.
"Being a mom means everything to me," Rinna explained. "I can't imagine life without having that experience… They work really hard. It's not an easy business… We're very, very proud of them."
The new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is expected to air on Bravo later this year.
Tell us! Do you want Lisa Rinna to stick around for the next season of RHOBH? Let us know in the comments below.

Agent-based FSSO
Agent-based FSSO
FortiOS can provide single sign-on capabilities to Windows AD, Citrix, Novell eDirectory, or, as of FortiOS 5.4, Microsoft Exchange users with the help of agent software installed on these networks. The agent software sends information about user logons to the FortiGate unit. With user information such as IP address and user group memberships from the network, FortiGate security policies can allow authenticated network access to users who belong to the appropriate user groups without requesting their credentials again.
For Windows AD networks, FortiGate units can provide SSO capability without agent software by directly polling the Windows AD domain controllers. For information about this type of SSO, seeSingle Sign-On to Windows AD on page 133.
The following topics are included:
- Introduction to agent-based FSSO
- FSSO NTLM authentication support
- Agent installation
- Configuring the FSSO Collector agent for Windows AD
- Configuring the FSSO TS agent for Citrix
- Configuring FSSO with Novell networks
- Configuring FSSO Advanced Settings
- Configuring FSSO on FortiGate units
- FortiOS FSSO log messages
- Testing FSSO
- Troubleshooting FSSO
Introduction to agent-based FSSO
Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO), through agents installed on the network, monitors user logons and passes that information to the FortiGate unit. When a user logs on at a workstation in a monitored domain, FSSO
l detects the logon event and records the workstation name, domain, and user, l resolves the workstation name to an IP address, l determines which user groups the user belongs to, l sends the user logon information, including IP address and groups list, to the FortiGate unit l creates one or more log entries on the FortiGate unit for this logon event as appropriate.
When the user tries to access network resources, the FortiGate unit selects the appropriate security policy for the destination. If the user belongs to one of the permitted user groups associated with that policy, the connection is allowed. Otherwise the connection is denied.
FSSO can also provide NTLM authentication service for requests coming from FortiGate. SSO is very convenient for users, but may not be supported across all platforms. NTLM is not as convenient, but it enjoys wider support. See FSSO NTLM authentication support on page 148.
Introduction to FSSO agents
There are several different FSSO agents that can be used in an FSSO implementation:
- Domain Controller (DC) agent
- eDirectory agent
- Citrix/Terminal Server (TS) agent
- Collector (CA) agent
Consult the latest FortiOS and FSSO Release Notes for operating system compatibility information.
Domain Controller (DC) agent
The Domain Controller (DC) agent must be installed on every domain controller if you will use DC Agent mode, but is not required if you use Polling mode. See FSSO for Windows AD on page 144.
eDirectory agent
The eDirectory agent is installed on a Novell network to monitor user logons and send the required information to the FortiGate unit. It functions much like the Collector agent on a Windows AD domain controller.The agent can obtain information from the Novell eDirectory using either the Novell API or LDAP.
Citrix/Terminal Server (TS) agent
The Citrix/Terminal Server (TS) agent is installed on a Citrix terminal server to monitor user logons in real time. It functions much like the DC Agent on a Windows AD domain controller.
Collector (CA) agent
This agent is installed as a service on a server in the Windows AD network to monitor user logons and send the required information to the FortiGate unit. The Collector agent can collect information from
- Domain Controller agent (Windows AD)
- TS agent (Citrix Terminal Server)
In a Windows AD network, the Collector agent can optionally obtain logon information by polling the AD domain controllers. In this case, DC agents are not needed.
The Collector can obtain user group information from the DC agent or optionally, a FortiGate unit can obtain group information directly from AD using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
On a Windows AD network, the FSSO software can also serve NT LAN Manager (NTLM) requests coming from client browsers (forwarded by the FortiGate unit) with only one or more Collector agents installed. See FSSO NTLM authentication support on page 148.
The CA is responsible for DNS lookups, group verification, workstation checks, and as mentioned FortiGate updates of logon records. The FSSO Collector Agent sends Domain Local Security Group and Global Security Group information to FortiGate units. The CA communicates with the FortiGate over TCP port 8000 and it listens on UDP port 8002 for updates from the DC agents.
The FortiGate unit can have up to five CAs configured for redundancy. If the first on the list is unreachable, the next is attempted, and so on down the list until one is contacted. See Configuring FSSO on FortiGate units on page 175.
All DC agents must point to the correct Collector agent port number and IP address on domains with multiple DCs.
A FortiAuthenticator unit can act much like a Collector agent, collecting Windows AD user logon information and sending it to the FortiGate unit. It is particularly useful in large installations with several FortiGate units. For more information, see the FortiAuthenticator Administration Guide.
FSSO for Microsoft Exchange Server
As of FortiOS 5.4, FSSO supports monitoring Microsoft Exchange Server. This is useful for situations when the user accesses the domain account to view their email, even when the client device might not be in the domain.
Support for the Exchange server is configured on the Back-end FSSO collector agent. For more information on the collector agent, see Collector agent installation:
- On the FSSO collector agent, go to Advanced Settings > Exchange Server.
- Select Add and enter the following information and select OK:
|Domain Name
|Enter your domain name.
|Server IP/Hostname
|Enter the IP address or the hostname of your exchange server.
|Polling forwarded event log
|This option for scenarios when you do not want that CA polls the Exchange Server logs directly. In this case you need to configure event log forwarding on the Exchange server. Exchange event logs can be forwarded to any member server. If you enable this, instead of the IP of the Exchange server configured in the previous step, you must then configure the IP of this member server. CA will then contact the member server.
|Ignore Name
|Because CA will also check Windows log files for logon events and when a user authenticates to Exchange Server there is also a logon event in Windows event log, which CA will read and this will overwrite the Exchange Server logon event (ESEventLog) on CA. So it is recommended to set the ignore list to the domain the user belongs to.
To do so, enter the domain name in the Ignore Name field and select Add.
FSSO for Windows AD
FSSO for Windows AD requires at least one Collector agent. Domain Controller agents may also be required depending on the Collector agent working mode. There are two working modes to monitor user logon activity: DC Agent mode or Polling mode.
Collector agent DC Agent mode versus Polling mode
|DC Agent mode
|Polling Mode
|Complex — Multiple installations: one agent per DC plus Collector agent, requires a reboot
|Easy — Only Collector agent installation, no reboot required
|Shares resources with DC system
|Has own resources
|Network load
|Each DC agent requires minimum 64kpbs bandwidth, adding to network load
|Increase polling period during busy period to reduce network load
|Level of
|Captures all logons
|Potential to miss a login if polling period is too great
DC Agent mode
DC Agent mode is the standard mode for FSSO. In DC Agent mode, a Fortinet authentication agent is installed on each domain controller. These DC agents monitor user logon events and pass the information to the Collector agent, which stores the information and sends it to the FortiGate unit.
The DC agent installed on the domain controllers is not a service like the Collector agent — it is a DLL file called dcagent.dll and is installed in the Windows\system32 directory. It must be installed on all domain controllers of the domains that are being monitored.
FSSO in DC agent mode
DC Agent mode provides reliable user logon information, however you must install a DC agent on every domain controller. A reboot is needed after the agent is installed. Each installation requires some maintenance as well. For these reasons it may not be possible to use the DC Agent mode.
Each domain controller connection needs a minimum guaranteed 64kpbs bandwidth to ensure proper FSSO functionality. You can optionally configure traffic shapers on the FortiGate unit to ensure this minimum bandwidth is guaranteed for the domain controller connections.
Introduction to agent-based
Polling mode
In Polling mode there are three options — NetAPI polling, Event log polling, and Event log using WMI. All share the advantages of being transparent and agentless.
NetAPI polling is used to retrieve server logon sessions. This includes the logon event information for the Controller agent. NetAPI runs faster than Event log polling but it may miss some user logon events under heavy system load. It requires a query round trip time of less than 10 seconds.
Event log polling may run a bit slower, but will not miss events, even when the installation site has many users that require authentication. It does not have the 10 second limit on NetAPI polling. Event log polling requires fast network links. Event log polling is required if there are Mac OS users logging into Windows AD.
Event log using WMI polling: WMI is a Windows API to get system information from a Windows server, CA is a WMI client and sends WMI queries for user logon events to DC, which in this case is a WMI server. Main advantage in this mode is that CA does not need to search security event logs on DC for user logon events, instead, DC returns all requested logon events via WMI. This also reduces network load between CA and DC.
In Polling mode, the Collector agent polls port 445 of each domain controller for user logon information every few seconds and forwards it to the FortiGate unit. There are no DC Agents installed, so the Collector agent polls the domain controllers directly.
FSSO in Polling mode
A major benefit of Polling mode is that no FSSO DC Agents are required. If it is not possible to install FSSO DC Agents on your domain controllers, this is the alternate configuration available to you. Polling mode results in a less complex install, and reduces ongoing maintenance. The minimum permissions required in Polling mode are to read the event log or call NetAPI.
Collector agent AD Access mode – Standard versus Advanced
The Collector agent has two ways to access Active Directory user information. The main difference between Standard and Advanced mode is the naming convention used when referring to username information.
Standard mode uses regular Windows convention: Domain\Username. Advanced mode uses LDAP convention: CN=User, OU=Name, DC=Domain.
If there is no special requirement to use LDAP— best practices suggest you set up FSSO in Standard mode. This mode is easier to set up, and is usually easier to maintain and troubleshoot.
Standard and advanced modes have the same level of functionality with the following exceptions:
- Users have to create Group filters on the Collector agent. This differs from Advanced mode where Group filters are configured from the FortiGate unit. Fortinet strongly encourages users to create filters from CA.
- Advanced mode supports nested or inherited groups. This means that users may be a member of multiple monitored groups. Standard mode does not support nested groups so a user must be a direct member of the group being monitored.
FSSO for Citrix
Citrix users can enjoy a similar Single Sign-On experience as Windows AD users. The FSSO TS agent installed on each Citrix server provides user logon information to the FSSO Collector agent on the network. The FortiGate unit uses this information to authenticate the user in security policies.
Citrix SSO topology
Citrix users do not have unique IP addresses. When a Citrix user logs on, the TS agent assigns that user a range of ports. By default each user has a range of 200 ports.
FSSO for Novell eDirectory
FSSO in a Novell eDirectory environment works similar to the FSSO Polling mode in the Windows AD environment. The eDirectory agent polls the eDirectory servers for user logon information and forwards the information to the FortiGate unit. There is no need for the Collector agent.
When a user logs on at a workstation, FSSO:
- detects the logon event by polling the eDirectory server and records the IP address and user ID, l looks up in the eDirectory which groups this user belongs to,
FSSO NTLM authentication support
- sends the IP address and user groups information to the FortiGate unit.
When the user tries to access network resources, the FortiGate unit selects the appropriate security policy for the destination. If the user belongs to one of the permitted user groups, the connection is allowed.
FSSO is supported on the Novell E-Directory 8.8 operating system.
For a Novell network, there is only one FSSO component to install — the eDirectory agent. In some cases, you also need to install the Novell Client.
FSSO security issues
When the different components of FSSO are communicating there are some inherent security features.
FSSO installation requires an account with network admin privileges. The security inherent in these types of accounts helps ensure access to FSSO configurations is not tampered with.
User passwords are never sent between FSSO components. The information that is sent is information to identify a user including the username, group or groups, and IP address.
NTLM uses base-64 encoded packets, and uses a unique randomly generated challenge nonce to avoid sending user information and password between the client and the server.

When should an experienced manager seek a PMP certification?
When should an experienced manager seek a PMP certification?
by Dana Norton
Should a manager in mid-career seek a PMP certification?
Which IT areas are best suited to the PMP?
Learn why the PMP is right for certain IT managers--and what motivated one seasoned PM to get the certification.
You've moved up through the IT ranks over the years. You've seen projects that made it and projects that failed. In your journey you've become an IT manager. Even though you're battle-tested, now may be the right time to formalize your experience with a certification.
For managers involved in initiating, planning, or running a project, the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI) may be the right cert to pursue. In the IT field, the PMP may be right for managers who are heavily involved in areas such as software engineering or network design IT projects. The PMP certification demonstrates that a project manager (PM) understands the fundamentals of project management and can put them into practice.
Strong motivations
What's the point of getting a certification when your career is already firmly established? While certifications aren't everything, they might make your name stand out in a stack of resumes. That's what prompted Tony Johnson, a veteran PM, to obtain his PMP certification.
Johnson said when he was looking for a new job, he noticed that many open positions preferred or required applicants with a PMP certification. He went after the certification to become a stronger candidate. "I felt that...with all things being equal…having the certification would be a key differentiator," said Johnson, a project director with WorkPlace Technologies, a division of real estate solutions company WorkPlaceUSA.
Of course, the PMP certification is good for more than just landing a job. Johnson listed two more reasons for earning the certification in the middle of his career. First, many organizations have their own project management style. "Over the years, you tend to develop your own style and preferences, which may mean you have both good and bad habits. Certification reinforces the good stuff and provides standards and structure to change the bad habits," he said.
Second, Johnson said, the PMI's project management standards provide a solid base that makes it easier to introduce changes to internal methods and processes.
One of the plusses of pursuing the certification in mid-career was that Johnson's experience made studying for the PMP easier. "I did not have to revisit areas I was comfortable with, and only had to concentrate on learning the way PMI describes the processes, [the] PMI terminology, and brush up on the areas requiring calculations," he said.
Good for forward-facing organizations
The PMP certification is good for managers, but it's also good for employers. Johnson's supervisor, Don Altwein, said having the PMP makes Johnson a more valuable employee. Altwein's organization, so having PMPs on staff can help attract business.
Johnson added that having a PMP shows customers that "we take…project management seriously enough to invest time in developing and maintaining our knowledge of the discipline."
Continuing education
Your PMP experience doesn't end when you become certified. To keep your certification, you must complete 60 hours of the PMI's Professional Development Units (PDUs) within three years. If you don't keep current, you have to re-apply, be found eligible to take the test, pay the $555 test fee, and pass the test again to be recertified.
The PMI offers several ways to earn PDUs. Many cities have PMI chapters that hold monthly meetings that feature a speaker or project management-related function. Each meeting counts as one PDU hour. You can also earn PDUs by:
•Attending PMI seminars and symposiums.
•Writing a paper and delivering it at a seminar or a symposium.
•Participating in your local PMI chapter.
•Serving on a chapter committee.
•Serving as a board member for the PMI.
Shari Stern, a PMP and a member of the PMI's Certification Board Center, said PDUs are a way for PMPs to stay on top of project management trends and make contacts with other PMPs.
Even in midcareer, managers in certain areas of the IT field can benefit from attaining a PMP certification. The PMP demonstrates your project-management expertise, helps correct bad habits you've picked up over the years, and makes you both a more valuable employee and a more tempting job candidate.

The monsoon is not just red earth and pouring rain, it defines the sky music of India. It washes the treetops fresh and draws rivulets through the hillsides and deepens the roar of waterfalls as the traveller on the narrow road sees no sign of the journey ending. The road keeps twisting and turning, hugging the sides of small hillocks or going right through them. A mild, cool breeze is a playful companion while sun plays hide and seek with the clouds, which alternately sprinkle the earth and open to bucket down torrents in true monsoon style. It is tea country, the seemingly endless green of the estates covering the undulating land along the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border near Wayanad.
As one state segues seamlessly into the other and the border blurs, the narrow road climbs up heading towards Gudalur in Tamil Nadu. On the way, scattered in between are little hamlets and villages hiding in valleys; the only sign of life being smoke rising from an occasional chimney. In a school yard, a dozen-odd young boys brave the rain and are playing a noisy game of marbles, their shouts ringing out in the serene mountain air. The road gradually snakes up to crest into a little plateau on which perches a charming over a century-old bungalow built when tea estates were run by British managers.
But this one is different. Called Sinna Dorai's Bungalow, or the house of the Junior Chief, it refers to the title of the estate manager who lived and oversaw the plantations. The squat building has a gabled roof, a patio and a running porch on one side with comfortable wooden furniture. Inside, a spacious living room, large dining room and the various bedrooms are furnished with period pieces, most of them from the Colonial era. The isolated bungalow stands like a sentinel on the hilltop, the monarch of all it surveys that slopes away in all directions. The monsoon is a constant presence at this altitude playing conjuror; the bungalow is one moment clear and then the next gets swiftly blanketed by thick cloud cover as the rain keeps up its relentless rhythm all through the evening and well into the night.
The next morning, the sight from the verandah is gasp-worthy. From the bungalow's hilltop heights, a panorama of verdant greenery, washed clean by the heavy rains of the previous evening is laid out like a green feast. All round are rising hills and falling valleys, covered with mist and clouds in various places. It is tempting to spend the whole day stretched out on a lounger, watching the natural drama unfold, but it is also too perfect a weather to waste and calls for long, ambling walks with an umbrella.
Stepping out into the midst of the unending carpets of tea, the crisp quality of the air immediately registers. The locals caution against wild elephants, which routinely stray in from national parks that border the tea plantations.
When the weather becomes kinder in the afternoon, a nearby tea factory is the right cup of tea. The air thrums with machinery permeated by the aroma of leaves in various stages of processing. The little cafe outside is inviting enough to watch the rain lash the windows. The magic of monsoons, experienced amidst green oceans from a timeless home, is quintessentially Indian.

The anaerobic digester (AD) takes in the residual, pre-fermented manure from the fermenter. The primary purpose is to produce biogas, which is a combination of methane and carbon dioxide. In order for gas to be produced, the reactions must occur in oxygen-free (anaerobic) conditions. When integrated into a two-stage AD, this is the second stage, known as the gas phase. However, for the purposes of the integrated dairy manure processing, these two steps must be separated to enable the volatile fatty acid (VFA)-rich liquid stream to be fed into the PHA reactor.
The biogas product mentioned above is composed of approximately 60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide. There are several ways this gas can be used. The gas may be used to produce electricity that can be sold to the power grid. Biogas produced by the methods outlined here may be more consistent in composition than biogas produced conventional ADs; since power companies often require relatively consistent rates of supply, this may be more possible with this system of AD.1 If the gas cannot be sold back to the power grid, some of it can still be burned at the dairy in order to generate electricity and reduce the electricity consumption of the farm. A portion of the carbon dioxide may be diverted to serve as the carbon source for the algae raceways.
The byproducts of this process are liquids and digested solids. These will be separated and can be sold. The liquids can be sold as a soil amendment fertilizer, and the solids can be sold for animal bedding. Though these are not very high-value products, they do contribute overall to the economic viability of the system.

Goodness ... everything is happening this week!
Shrove Tuesday/pancake day today, Ash Wednesday/Valentines Day tomorrow, Nirvana Day (Annual Buddhist festival that remembers the death of the Buddha when he reached Nirvana at the age of 80. It is also known as Parinirvana Day. It is celebrated by some Buddhists on February 15th. On Nirvana Day, Buddhists think about their lives and how they can work towards gaining the perfect peace of Nirvana. They remember friends or relations who have recently died and reflect on the fact that death is a part of life for everyone. I think I took this info originally from the bbc schools site) and Friday is the start of Chinese New Year. It is also the winter Olympics.
Pretty much any one of those could take up a week of activities ( obviously Shrove Tuesday/Ash Wednesday are always together ) but this year ... WHAM! they all fall in the same week! At least it is half term for us, so more time to do something.
To be honest, I don't usually do anything for Nirvana Day-I just have it on my list of special days ( and as its always the 15th Feb, its always after Valentines Day ) and we might talk about people who have died ( as a follow on from thinking about people we love ), and I think it is on my list as a 'hang over' from days gone by when it seemed to be the thing to have a zillion and one special days to celebrate.
These days I only make fuss/do anything for the days/events that actually impact on the children in my care ( or mean something to me - hence we always celebrate Australia Day, because I lived there for a few years ) I did put some of the Olympics on television for the children today, but no one was that interested
Is anyone doing anything exciting this week?
