![]() The phrase "low horizon" would ordinarily mean limited opportunity or limited potential in contrast to "limitless horizon" when referring to a child, but nothing in the text seems to point to that intention. The horizon is the apparent curve that separates the surface of a celestial body from its sky when viewed from the perspective of an observer on or near the surface of the relevant body. Usually, one must look "up" to see the horizon and this is contrasted with looking down at the toy cars, the "low" horizon. Or from Scolt Head Island (where the story takes place)Īnd the microcosm of the attention of a child whose main concern is playing with his toy cars. The author is not necessarily using a "wordplay" on horizons, but may be making a contrast between the vastness of the natural sea horizon which can be seen from the cliffs of Hunstanton in Norfolk, England Children are conservative adherents to routine and security and my one happy memory is of playing with my Matchbox cars on the cobbled area outside the Hut, which faced south and was mercifully sheltered from the north wind. The beach was a wind-blasted horror and the salt marsh was where Daddy dug big holes in which to deposit our smelly buckets of poo. The wide horizons of the Norfolk coast are an uncomfortable fit for the low horizons of a child.Īnd so my early memories of the coast are not snapshots of a picture-postcard idyll but epic struggles up mountainous dunes, sand blowing in my eyes, marram grass whipping my legs. I'm really nervous to live at school, but I know I need to widen my horizons and get some experience living without my family. The Horizon Perfekt on the other hand doe not have this double exposure function (you can make very good doubles though by reloading the film the second time, check out my lomohome to find samples). It is oftentimes used to mean the line that separates Earth (its soil) from the sky (its. The advantage of the Kompakt is that it allows you to make double exposures directly one over the other. In your sentence from Coastlines: The Story Of Our Shore by Patrick Barkham, the author goes on to say: widen (one's) horizons To have or seek out new experiences, especially if one's experiences have been relatively limited. It originated from the Greek word orizein, which means to limit.

![]() For MacKeeper, which is not detected by Sophos or Adware Medic, I've added the binary as a "restricted application" so if a user actually manages to install it, when it attempts to run, the management will kill it, delete it, pop up a message to the end-user, and then email me.This has been helping me to detect which machines have some malware and then I can pull them in, or send the user an email telling them to download AdWare Medic from Self Service and scan. Sophos has begun to list some of this Adware/Malware to its virus definitions listings, like Geneio and Palmall.I've also sent him money and encourage everyone to do so that's using his donation-ware software. I sometimes send the developer samples of newish malware that I find. It's easy to use and pretty comprehensive. This newish tool has really really helped us to fight this plague. I explain how they were probably tricked into installing it and show them how to use Adware Medic to keep their machines clean(er). Every single time I have to clean a machine of Adware, I give a small lecture to the student about being more careful about what they install. We've been training (and retraining) our users to be careful about what they install. Then export, clean, and Google.Ģ) My approach to fighting of this recent scourge of Adware is multi-fold. You can simply leave the search box blank with Applications selected and search JSS and it'll return everything. If I have time later, I'll re-post my updated list.Ībout every two months or so, I export the "Installed Applications" list to an Excel spreadsheet and then start Googling to see what kind of gak the kids have installed. I do this every month or so and my list has grown a bit since I posted this. Download, get the binary name, add it as a restricted process. Despite the incredible latitude our students have in using their laptops, we look at blocking these apps as ways of protecting our network and our equipment (and to a certain extent, protecting the student from themselves).ġ) I found most of these by good old-fashioned GoogleFu and searching for keywords. So, app restrictions are a first line of defense and pretty good one. If a student persists, we get the Adminisratio and Disciplinary committees involved. For 99% of our AUP violations, these app restrictions act as a first level of warning basically saying, "Knock it off!". If a student is actively trying to circumvent controls we put in place, it goes to a whole new level and the consequences are more severe. But.I can still see what's been installed (even if it's renamed or modified, etc.) and then it becomes even more of a disciplinary issue. Added a few more this weekend after scouring a few of my more industrious users' Applications list:Īt some point, we all realize it's a cat-and-mouse game, and a truly determined student will figure out ways around the software restrictions. |
