Grange looks to boost presence in Manchester
MANCHESTER - Officials with the New Hampshire Grange are organizing a new chapter for Manchester.
Stephen Tracy, organizing deputy for the state Grange, said the fraternal organization was able to sign up 17 new members at a meeting last week.
The Grange is planning a follow-up meeting for Jan. 6 at the Jutrus American Legion post on Boutwell Street.
According to its website, the National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry "is a family, community organization with its roots in agriculture. Founded in 1867, the Grange was formed as a national organization with a local focus. Our members are given the opportunity to learn and grow to their full potential as citizens and leaders."
The national membership peaked in the late 19th and early 20th century with nearly 1 million members. Today, national membership is about 200,000 in 2,700 local Granges, according to the National Grange website.
New Hampshire has about 1,778 members, said state President Jim Tetreault. The statewide membership peaked at 30,000 in the 1950s and dwindled since then, he said, but has picked up in the last year, as the state saw a "net gain" in membership in 2012, he said.
Tetreault said the Grange's existence in Manchester, a city of more than 100,000, is part of the organization's evolution from its focus on agriculture to its efforts in community service, educational programs and youth activities.
"The Grange has really moved beyond farming," said Tetreault, who said he is not a farmer.
"I'm lucky if I can stay home long enough to mow my own lawn. The values of the Grange are what are attracting new members."
"You're part of one big family. People take care of you," Tracy said.
The organization of a new Grange in Manchester comes as the city is scheduled to host the National Grange meeting in November 2013, Tracy said.
The event is scheduled for Nov. 12 through 16 at the Radisson Hotel at the Center of New Hampshire on Elm Street. Petreault said the last national meeting in New Hampshire was in 1913.
"We're very excited," he said of playing host to the National Grange.

1) How long have you been crafting?
Really, since I was a child! One of my first scrapbooks is from the 5th grade — photos and journaling in a magnetic photo album.
2) Why did you start crafting?
My mother is an artist and writer, and my father is a photographer, so I guess you could say that crafting is genetic for me!
3) How long have you been on the Fiskars® Design Team?
Since July of 2008.
4) What are your favorite craft activities?
Scrapbooking tops the list, for sure, but I also enjoy card making and (simple) sewing.
5) How do you define your crafting style/aesthetic?
Simple, simple, simple. I like clean lines and lean toward a more graphic look.
6) What is your favorite time of day to craft?
Late at night. Usually with a cup of hot tea and Grey's Anatomy playing on my laptop.
7) What motivates/inspires you?
I love a well-written phrase, a soulful song and a breathtaking photograph. I'm inspired by stories and motivated to capture my own story along the way.
8) If you could only have one Fiskars® tool, what would it be and why?
Such a hard question! I'd have to say a corner rounder — life is full of hard edges, and it's nice to be able to soften them a bit.
Transform plain white lunch bags into adorable gift bags for the holiday season!
When the weather turns to spring, parents of high school students start thinking about graduation!
This fun project is a great way to send a little love note to your child. These lunchbox notes can be slipped into a backpack or lunchbox, and are sure to put a smile on your child's face!
It's time to dust off that sewing machine!
Have you noticed how many companies are using infographs these days?
It still feels strange to say this out loud….my daughter is graduating this month.
Summer celebrations often bring out spectacular displays of fireworks!
Skip the turkey & serve up a delicious vegetarian Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving conjures up visions of cornucopias, pumpkins, brightly colored leaves, and a perfectly roasted turkey.

Tomorrow is World Water Day. Experts and eco-warriors offer simple solutions to conserve water
Today is World Water Day. A good time to take account of our rapidly dying rivers, drying wells and falling water tables. An acute water shortage in the city is evident. Pipe bursts are only one of the many reasons why our taps are running out of water. Summer has accentuated the problem of water scarcity in the city and its suburbs. Water tankers rushing water to many areas in the suburbs have become a common sight. With the monsoon playing truant, it is high time we took stock of the water situation before it is too late. Water warriors, architects and experts say that simple steps can save our water resources from getting depleted. After all tiny drops of water make the mighty ocean.
With missionary zeal V. Subash Chandra Bose, Director, Communication Capacity Development Unit, under the Water Resources Department, says that if the Government, like our neighbouring state Tamil Nadu, insists on water harvesting for every household, it would dramatically change the situation in Kerala. "We get rain for approximately for 110 days. That is more than enough for us. Till a few decades ago, there were plenty of paddy fields, wetland, ponds and wells that stored the water. But now, surface run-off (that is water that drains into the sea without seeping into the ground) has increased significantly on account of tarring of roads and filling of fields. There has been a change in the quality and quantity of water. Hence it is imperative to conserve rain water."
This water warrior points that he himself has installed rain water harvesting facilities in several households in the city. For as little as Rs. 3,000 or below, tanks can be installed in a house. "This is not as an alternative to Kerala Water Authority (KWA) but to supplement it."
The government has made rain water harvesting mandatory for houses that are above 100 sq. m. "Thus, provision has been made for all the houses that we have built for our clients," says P.B. Sajan, director of The Centre of Science and Technology for Rural Development (Costford). He adds that rain water harvesting and rain water recharging are two ways of replenishing and conserving water. His house at Powdikonam, for instance, has no water connection from KWA.
Sajan explains that huge water tanks are built beneath the room of a house to store rain water. This cuts down the cost and optimises the use of space too. "I have made provisions for water harvesting and water recharging by constructing a rain pit. It cost only Rs. 35,000 to build a water tank that can store about 20,000 litres of water," explains Sajan.
Agreeing with him architect G. Shankar emphasises that it is water recharging that can really make a difference. "Digging rain pits near wells can increase the water table. Miraculous changes have been observed and even dry wells have suddenly been filled with sweet water when rain pits were dug."
Aware that water conservation has to be a community process, Sajan sensitised his neighbours to go in for water recharging to replenish their water level and sure enough most of his neighbours were thrilled to observe the change in their wells. "Many people try to prevent rain water from the roads entering their households but we try to channelise the water into our plots for this is an excellent way to increase the water table."
After all every drop counts in the battle to save water.

Many insurance agencies purchase leads to help them attract quality customers. This eliminates much of the time involved with telemarketing. Your representatives will spend less time cold calling and more time talking to people who actually need insurance.
You can also target customers and potential customers through email marketing. This is insurance agent marketing tactic can be extremely successful. People spend a lot of time on the computer and commonly communicate via email. With the right campaigns, you can boost your sales, find new customers, and retain the customers you already have.
In addition to email, it is smart to take advantage of the Internet to grow your business. Search engine optimization and social media are just two methods that will help you reach more customers. There are others as well.
All of these resources can provide you with a return on your investment. They are worth your time and money if you are looking for more customers.
Taking the time to evaluate these specific qualities will go a long way toward ensuring that you end up with the best possible protection available.
There is no denying that the staffing industry is very unique and this requires a detailed understanding of its many subtleties. This sort of understanding is likely to be found in an insurance provider that has specific industry experience. Make every effort to work with an insurance provider that has this sort of experience, as this will help to ensure that the employment agency insurance you end up with is able to properly protect your business.
An experienced employment agency insurance provider should be able to reference a track record of successful interactions with other businesses in the industry. Identify an agency that can point to specific instances of success in the industry, as this will be very helpful in making sure that your business is able to properly minimize risk.
There are a variety of insurance policies on the market today. From car insurance to professional liability, companies offer many types of coverage with a range of applications. Some providers offer policies that are customized to suit a particular niche market. There can be big advantages to selecting an insurer that is experienced in serving a particular type of client because they will likely be familiar with the risks they face.
Some providers offer insurance for nursing homes that is specifically tailored to the needs of that market. When shopping for coverage, nursing home operators should start by assessing their risk exposure. Policies might include protection such as:
Once a facility operator has a general idea of the types of coverage available, an experienced insurance provider can help identify the particular policy or policies that will be most appropriate for their situation. With any luck, the operator will have insurance for nursing homes that meets their specific needs in no time.
Your lifestyle will likely affect the amount of life insurance that you can purchase and the terms of that insurance. For example, people who smoke every day might need to pay higher premiums than people who do not smoke. Consider your lifestyle and risks to determine what sort of insurance might be best for you. An agent should be able to help you analyze your risks and insurance needs.
Think about how many dependents you have and what sort of financial assistance they will need if anything should happen to you. You want to choose a policy that will give your beneficiaries what they need to get by without you for a while. The higher your policy payout is, the higher your premium is likely to be.
You will likely have several different options for your Connecticut life insurance policy. One choice you will need to make is whether to go with term life, whole life, universal life, or variable life. You will likely determine what you qualify for during the application process. From there, you can decide what sort of policy you can afford and will best meet your needs.
1. Hospital Professional Liability
While medical malpractice coverage rates are static, trends indicate that costs are on the rise in a significantly cyclical manner. For that reason, insurance options cover liability for professional errors, acts, or omissions of hospital employees. Examples of coverage include:
2. Physicians and Surgeons Professional Liability
Integrating the costs of physicians and Hospital Professional Liability Insurance can yield variable and substantial cost savings. Consolidating policies by migrating from traditional insurance carriers to captive ones is a valuable strategy that makes financial sense. A few strategies include:
3. Miscellaneous Professional Liability
Policies that providers write on a combined basis cover areas that could apply under either policy. For instance, typical combined claims and occurrence coverage policies involve:
Liability insurance coverage policies provide a proactive approach to risk management for hospitals, physicians, and staff. Strategies that focus on providing flexible and professional long-term liability insurance begin by combining the broadest insurance coverage possible with captive insurance carriers.
Connecticut life insurance has a specific purpose; to give the valuable support one needs so that they don't have to be worried about leaving a loved one behind with no means of support. After all, we live in a beautiful state, surrounded by state parks and amazing shorelines in areas like Milford, Guilford, Essex, and Mystic. Everyone here should be free to enjoy all that makes Connecticut beautiful.
Everyone needs to make sure that they are getting the best policy to fits their needs, both current and future. Speak to an agent that can assist with the right policy and a price that is comfortable and affordable. This should be the agent's number one priority, because there is nothing like the peace of mind that comes from knowing that family will be taken care of in the event of the untimely death of their breadwinner.
While many people realize they have the need for life insurance they don't foresee themselves dying anytime soon. But in reality, people die unexpectedly every day, whether as a result of driving on the I-91, or being the victim of one of various natural disasters, such as severe thunderstorms, flashfloods, snowstorms, hurricanes and tornadoes.
Then there's always the threat of a serious, and unforeseen health issue, such as a stroke or heart attack, which often sneaks up on its victim unexpectedly. Instead of gambling with the family's financial future, isn't it better to look into life insurance options today and make sure the family can move on in the event of a loss?
The reasons for buying life insurance are many, but the number one reason that people buy life insurance is to replace income. Some additional reasons people may purchase life insurance are for:
This is an important decision and one that shouldn't be taken lightly, so speak to a reputable agent about any questions concerning Connecticut life insurance coverage today!
1. Network Security Liability
This is a third party liability risk associated with the unauthorized access, theft or destruction of data within the insured's computer network or other electronic information system. It can include denial of service attacks, virus transmissions and electronic security breaches. It could be due to an internal or external attack, and may also include liability claims arising out of the theft of mobile computer equipment, such as laptops, in order to appropriate data illegally.
2. Privacy Liability
This liability risk is associated with theft of non-public personal information in electronic form and liabilities involving the failure to comply with privacy laws, or those regulations that govern the control, collection, access, transmission, use and accuracy of that information. There are severe costs associated with claims or losses, such as notification of affected parties of the breach, as well as fines and penalties for permitting such a breach.
3. Electronic Media Liability
This risk is associated with the display of electronic content on a client's website. Any information in the form of words, sounds, numbers, images or graphics in electronic form is considered electronic content, and also includes advertising, video, blogs, bulletin boards and chat rooms.
In addition to potential third-party liability damages, clients could face additional risks for direct costs from any number of sources. State laws mandate businesses to notify anyone whose private information may be at risk immediately after a breach occurs. Because the company's reputation is likely damaged as well, it may require additional spending on public relations services to help restore its good name.
There may also be fines and penalties assessed as a result of regulatory action, all the more reason to insure against cyber exposure, which can wreak havoc on a company that has been victimized.
Those providing home health services take certain risks which require home health care insurance as well as trained and skilled nurses to provide services to these clients. The goal is to provide in-home care for those who need it, while allowing an individual to remain living at home as long as possible, despite having certain disabilities.
Home care providers offer many services, from homemaking and companionship, to meal preparation and medication administering. They may also include personal care services, or those that help with the activities of daily living, including things like bathing, dressing, and grooming.
Often, skilled services that utilize the expertise of a nurse includes checking vital signs, coordinating with doctors and other healthcare professionals that may be working with the individual, and also performing comprehensive evaluations of health and community needs to keep individuals safe at home. There is however concerns related to mistreatment that must be monitored and reported when discovered.
For example, if a client were to fall while the caregiver was assisting the client to access and negotiate the use of the restroom, while this could clearly be the case of an unfortunate accident, it should be investigated in order to determine whether or not the attendant mishandled the performance of their duties. If the client were to sustain a serious hip fracture the family may be determined to sue for neglect or abuse.
If it was determined that the caregiver did not adhere to written procedures involving client handling and employee training or patient transfer was substandard, there may very well be grounds for legal action. This could call into question whether the initial hire and follow through refresher training programs were satisfactory or in need of improvement.
In addition to home health care insurance, owners should also look into separate abuse and molestation coverage, as well as employee dishonesty coverage, blanket additional insured for managers, and landlords of premises where required by contract. Speak to an agent familiar with the insurance needs of this growing industry.

Continuing to help Haiti
Volunteers, organizations try to meet the many needs
"You can get a lot accomplished, and you don't get burned out as easily," she said. "Two weeks is a burnout."
The El Cajon-based Rescue Task Force, a disaster relief agency, has sent about $4.3 million in medical supplies, 700 tents and two teams of volunteers to Haiti, said Andrea Stone, the group's chief operating officer.
Stone said the agency is still raising money for Haiti relief, but it's "tapped out" and has no plans to send an additional team at this time.
"Usually about a week or so after a disaster, (fundraising) doesn't just decline — it almost just stops," Stone said.
Any additional money raised will probably go toward buying a container that can be filled with medical supplies and costs only $5,000 to ship to Haiti, Stone said.
International Relief Teams has seen a similar drop in donations, said Rose Uranga, the group's director of operations and program development.
On June 11, the organization will send a solar-powered water purification system to Petit Goave, about an hour west of Port-au-Prince, Uranga said. That's in addition to the emergency medical volunteers, tents, food and medical supplies that it sent immediately after the earthquake.
And on June 25, Uranga and two volunteers, an architect and a general contractor, will go to Gressier — 20 minutes west of Port-au-Prince — to assess the availability of skilled labor and supplies needed to build a permanent orphanage there, Uranga said.
EcoBlu Products, a Vista company that makes construction materials, has people in Haiti looking for a suitable building for an EcoBlu plant. The facility will create jobs, said Steve Conboy, CEO of the company.
"If they could find us the building, we'd move now," Conboy said.
EcoBlu Products has six disassembled houses and several tons of food ready to ship to Calvary Chapel in Caneille, a city northeast of Port-au-Prince where many children orphaned by the earthquake live, he said. The company will send a shipping container with the housing material and food after confirming a shipment date with Calvary Chapel's pastor.
The houses can hold a family of five or six and can withstand winds up to 120 mph and earthquakes of up to magnitude 8.1, Conboy said.

Wireless network are used to communicate with different device which may be computer or any other consumer devices like ATM machines, Mobile Internet, LANs, etc. The wireless communication is used at commercial as well as personal use also to achieve the higher speed of data transfer, easy communication and utilization of the devices. In this area as infrastructural facilities are increased wireless services are widely used and gaining popularity among users this dissertation will help to identify advantages, limitations of wireless services (Like 802.11(IEEE 802.11), HIPERLAN, Home–RF (Home Radio Frequency), and Bluetooth) based on comparison of various parameters. Keywords: AP - Access Point, ARRL - American Radio Relay League, BSS - Base Service Set, CA - Collision Avoidance, CDMA -Code Division Multiple Access I. INTRODUCTION The demands for mobility were increased in our daily life, that's why it leads to develop and change over from wired LANs to the wireless LANs (WLANs). Wired LAN can give the high bandwidth to the user based on requirement and consuming services like video conferences, streaming video etc. based on this users demands much from WLAN so they will not accept too much degradation in performance to achieve mobility and flexibility. It makes expert to do some changes of WLANs designs in future. 455 International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET), ISSN 0976- 6367(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6375(Online) Volume 4, Issue 3, May – June (2013), © IAEME In this dissertation first we will discuss the different Wireless LAN standards available for the deployment. And then we will study on the evaluation of the Wireless LAN standards based on security issues. And at last analysis of the available Wireless LAN standards and a feasible solution for future deployment is discussed. Wireless LANs are based on the cellular architectures where the system is subdivided in to cells, where each cell (called Base Service Set or BSS*) which is controlled by a base station (called Access point or AP). Wireless LAN standards are currently explored in many communication technologies which are like: 1. IEEE 802.11 2. HIPERLAN/2 II. CLASSIFICATION OF WIRELESS LAN Wireless LANs can be broadly distributed into two categories: 1) Ad hoc wireless LANs, 2) Wireless LAN with infrastructure 1) Ad hoc wireless LANs In ad-hoc networks, several wireless nodes join together to establish a peer-to-peer communication which is illustrate in figure-(1). Each client communicates directly with the other clients within network. An Ad-hoc mode is designed such that only the clients within transmission range (within the same cell) of each other can communicate. If a one client in an ad-hoc network wishes to communicate outsides of the cell, a member of the cell MUST operate as agate way and perform routing. They usually need no administration. Networked nodes distribute their resources without a main server. 2)Wireless LAN with infrastructure In wireless LANs with foundation, there is a high-speed wired or wireless backbone which is illustrated in figure-(2).Wireless nodes access the wired backbone through access points. These access points acquiesce the wireless nodes to share the available network resources calmly. Prior to communicating data, wireless clients and access points must establish a relationship, Oran association. Only after an association is established can the two wireless stations exchange data. III. WIRELESS LAN STANDARDS There are many wireless LAN solutions available now a days, with number of levels of standardization and interoperability. Currently two solutions are leads which are HomeRF and Wi-Fi* (IEEE ** 802.11b).using these two 802.11 technologies enjoy the large number of industry support and are targeted to solve Enterprises, Home and even public "hot spot" wireless LAN needs. IEEE 802.11 The IEEE finalized the initial standard for wireless LANs, IEEE 802.11 in june 1997. That initail standard specifies a 2.4GHz operating frequency with data rate of 1 and 2 Mbps. With this standard one could choose to use either frequency hopping or direct sequence there are two non compatible forms of spread spectrum modulations. Because of 456 International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET), ISSN 0976- 6367(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6375(Online) Volume 4, Issue 3, May – June (2013), © IAEME relatively low data rates as compared to Ethernet, prodcts based on the initial standard did not flourish as many had hoped. [1] Either using FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spread Specturm) or DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum). 802.11a The OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) provides up to 54Mbps and runs on the 5GHz band. 802.11b It is also known as Wi-Fi or Higher Rate 802.11, uses DSSS and applies to wireless LANs. It most commonly used for private use at home. It provides an 11Mbps transmission rate and has a fallback rate of 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps. [9] 802.11g It provides more than 20Mbps broadcasting rate, utilize to LANs and it will be works on the 2.4(GHz) band. HIPERLAN 1/2 European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) ratified in 1996 with High Performance Radio LAN (HIPERLAN 1) standard for providing high-speed communication up to 20Mbps between portable devices in the 5GHz rang. Same like IEEE802.11, HIPERLAN/1 adopts carrier sense multiple access protocol to connect end user devices together. On higher stage of that, HIPERLAN/1 supports synchronous traffic for different type of data such as video, audio, text, etc. Later, ETSI rolled out in 2000, a flexible Radio LAN standard called HIPERLAN-2. It designed to provide high speed access up to 54Mbps at PHY layer to a various networks including 3G networks, ATM networks and Internet Protocol based networks and also for private wireless LAN system. Basic applications include data, audio and video with specific Quality of Service parameters taken into account. HIPERLAN/2 has a very high transmission rate up to 54 Mbps and it achieved by making use of a modularization method called Orthogonal Frequency Digital Multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM is particularly efficient in time-dispersive environments. Bluetooth Bluetooth is a short-range RF-based connectivity for portable devices with its functional specification released in 1999 by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. Bluetooth communicates on a 2.45GHz frequency. It has been set aside by international agreement for the use of industrial, scientific and medical devices (ISM). One of the ways Bluetooth devices avoid to interfering the other systems is by sending very weak signals of 1 mill watt. Bluetooth range can be up to 10 meters because of low power and it is its one limitation. Bluetooth uses a technique called spread-spectrum frequency moving. In this technique, a device will use 79 individual, randomly chosen frequencies with a designated range changing groom one to another on a regular basis. Bluetooth devices come in two classes and both using peer-to-peer communication to speak. Class 3 devices operate at 0dBm range and are capable of transmitting 30 feet through walls or other objects and the other class is termed as class 1 products. These devices operate at 20dBm, which allows for the single to travel about 300 feet through walls or other solid objects. 457 International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET), ISSN 0976- 6367(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6375(Online) Volume 4, Issue 3, May – June (2013), © IAEME IV. WLAN TECHNOLOGIES AND STANDARDS WLAN technologies and standards is reviewed in the bellow. These technologies and standards include UHF narrowband, HIPERLAN. UNF Narrowband The term narrowband refers to the narrow band of RF spectrum, 12.5 KHz to 25 KHz, used to transmit data. Existing narrow band systems transmit on both licensed and unlicensed frequencies and operate at higher power levels than spread spectrum systems. The output is that UHF narrow band systems are able to transmit the greatest distance (35 to 50 kilometers) of all WLAN technologies. However, UHF narrow band has a number of disadvantages. These include regulatory barriers when operating at data rates above 56 Kbps and the instability of frequencies at which the technology operates (i.e. interference and propagation anomalies). In addition, UHF narrow band packet radio systems require considerable knowledge and effort to install. Commercially packaged answers are not available and systems must be custom built. Elements involved in typical system installation include assembling tools, build and maintenance of antennas, verifying radio link performance, and installing network software. HIPERLAN What is HIPERLAN? The HIPERLAN stands for High Performance Radio LAN and it was initiated by the RES-10 group of the ETSI as a pan-European standard for high-speed wireless local networks. So it is called HIPERLAN-1, the first defined technology by this standard group and it was started in 1992 and completed in 1997. Unlike IEEE 802.11, which was based on products, HIPERLAN-1 was based on certain functional requirements specified by ETSI. CEPT released spectrum at 5 and 17 GHz for the implementation of the HIPERLAN in 1993. Standard of HIPERLAN: HIPERLAN is a European family of standards on digital high speed wireless communication in the 5.15-5.3 GHz and the 17.1-17.3 GHz spectrum developed by ETSI. The committee responsible for HIPERLAN is RES-10 which has been working on the standard since November 1991. The standard serves to ensure the possible interoperability of different manufacturers' wireless communications tools that proceed in this spectrum. The HIPERLAN standard only define a common air interface including the physical layer for wireless communications tools, while leaving decisions on higher level configurations and functions open to the equipment manufacturers. Figure -5shows the OSI reference model of HIPERLAN within the physical layer. During the standardization process, a couple of HIPERLAN-1 prototypes were developed; However, no manufacturer adopted this standardization process consider this effort an unsuccessful attempt. Later on HIPERLAN standardization moved under the ETSI BRAN project with a new and more structured organization. This figure shows Divisions of the HIPERLAN activities.Figure -6shows the Divisions of the HIPERLAN activities. We have HIPERLAN-2, which aims at higher data rates and intends to accommodate ATM as well as IP type access. This standardization process is under development. They have coordinated with the IEEE 802.11a in the PHY layer specification and current work on the MAC to support Quos is under progress. Other versions of HIIPERLAN are HIPER- ACCESS for remote access and HIPER-LINK to interconnect switches in the backbone. In the United States, these activities are under IEEE 802.16 for LMDS. Only HIPERLAN-1 and 458 International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET), ISSN 0976- 6367(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6375(Online) Volume 4, Issue 3, May – June (2013), © IAEME -2 are considered WLANs and will be discussed in this chapter. Most of the emphasis is on HIPERLAN-2 which has attracted significant from cellular manufacturers such as Nokia and Ericsson. HIPERLAN-1 Requirements and Architecture The original "functional requirements" for the HIPERLAN-1 were defined by ETSI. These requirements were • Data rates of 23.529 mbps • Coverage of up to 100 m • Multi-move ad hoc networking capability • Support of time-bounded services • Support of power saving • Short range - 50m • Low mobility - 1.4m/s • Networks with and without architecture • Support isochronous traffic • audio 32kbps, 10ns latency • video 2Mbps, 100ns latency • Support asynchronous traffic • data 10Mbps, immediate access The frequency of operation was 5.2 (GHz) not licensed bands that were published by CEPT in 1993, so many years before publication of the U-NII bands. The difference between this standard and the IEEE 802.11 was perceived to be the data rate, which was an order of magnitude higher than the original 802.11 and emphasis on ad hoc networking and time- bounded services.Figure – 7shows the overall architecture of an ad hoc network. In HIPERLAN-1's ad hoc network architecture, a multi-hub topology is considered that also allows overlay of two WLANs. As shown in this figure, the multi-hub routing extends the HIPERLAN communication beyond the radio range of a single node. Each HIPERLAN node is either a forwarder, designated by "F", or a non-forwarder. A non- forwarder node retransmits the received packet, if the packet does not have its own should select at least one of its neighbors as a forwarder. Inter-HIPERLAN forwarding needs bilateral cooperation and agreement between two forwarder and non-forwarder nodes need to periodically update several databases. In figure solid lines represent peer-to-peer communications between two terminals and dashed lines represent the connections for forwarding. Three of the terminals 1, 4 and 6 are designated by letter "F" indicating that they have forwarding connections. There are two overlapping HIPERLANs, A and B, and terminal 4 is a member of both WLANs which can also act as a bridge between the two. This architecture does not have an infrastructure, and it has a large coverage through the multi- hub. HIPERLAN-1 did not generate any product development, but it had some pioneering impact on other standards. The use of 5 GHz unlicensed bands, first considered in HIPERLAN-1, is operation.Used by IEEE 802.11a and HIPERLAN-2. The multi-hub feature of the HIPERLAN-1 is considered in the HIPERLAN-2 to be used in an environment with a connection to wired infrastructure. 459 International Journal of Computer Engineering and Technology (IJCET), ISSN 0976- 6367(Print), ISSN 0976 – 6375(Online) Volume 4, Issue 3, May – June (2013), © IAEME V.

Elton John: Old Songs, Old Friends, New Perspectives
Originally published on Wed July 18, 2012 9:52 am
Elton John has been writing music since the 1960s, and between then and now, he has had enough life experience to reach some remarkable conclusions.
"I certainly, if I'm being honest with you, don't think you write as good a song on cocaine as you do when you're normal," he tells Morning Edition's Steve Inskeep.
John's new memoir, Love Is the Cure, details how he misspent much of the 1970s and '80s. He says he abused drugs such as cocaine and alcohol, and even suffered from bulimia. But John says his struggles with addiction have made him stronger.
"I think now I'm a much better singer, and I pay much more lip service to the lyrics, and even when I sing songs that I've sung a thousand times, they seem new to me," John says. "I think the experience that I went through has not only helped me as a person, but it's also helped me as a musician and a singer."
John says one of the songs with which he has reacquainted himself is "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word," which he wrote during a period of turbulent romances in the '70s.
"I was always having ridiculous, short relationships with people because I took hostages in the relationship. They had to come with me, they had to travel with me, and after six months they hated my guts because they had no reason to live," he says. "I'd taken their identity away from them."
Now, John says, the song makes him think of the legendary French singer Edith Piaf.
"I sing it now in a different light, and it's more like an Edith Piaf song for me now than it was in those days," he says. "It has an accordion in it, and it always reminded me for a French song, and every time I sing it now I feel like Edith Piaf — although I'm taller."
John says he still enjoys working not only with old songs, but also with old friends. He and Bernie Taupin have been writing music together for almost half a century, but John says their relationship has never been better.
"I'm not a lyric writer — I get all my inspiration from looking at the written page," John says. "[Bernie Taupin] gives me the lyric, and I go away and write the song, then come back and play it to him. And I've never lost the enjoyment or the thrill of playing him the song that I've just written to his lyric."

Annex Mexico…
Gresch: We already did most of it.
Alcarez won't be happy until Mexico annexes us and the continent becomes a giant Tijuana.
Works for me. If only he'd actually do that!
Obama has deported more than Bush, hmm. Mexico used to be most of the area now the U.S. southwest, and Spain was earliest to settle most of the south as well. War, theft, and purchases made the land the U.S..
We need immigration reform, and bring back a viable "guest worker" program. Interesting how many HIGH PAYING jobs in the U.S. are now going to Chinese, Vietnamese, and other foreign workers, but farm workers, who make a lot less, and do jobs most Americans don't want, and won't take, from Mexico and Central/South America, are the targets every time.
Arizona's "driving while brown" law led to a number of folks whose families had lived on that land for over 200 years, got stopped as "suspicious", while "invaders" from Michigan never got bothered.
Lalo is just well aware of the hidden, or open, bigotry that is getting worse in America. "Give me your poor", has morphed to some of the worst xenophobia in our history. That's not a "liberal" observation, it's history that even the Irish, Germans, Jews, and Italians,while subjected to discrimination at times, never endured the persistence that applies to those often just THOUGHT TO BE, from "south of the border".
dtroutma, you do realize that Mexico's claim to most of what today is the US Southwest was tenious at best. In 1846 at the time of the Mexican-American war the Mexican presence in what became the Arizona territory was a mere 11 men and an officer occuplying two adobe huts at the "Precidio" of Tucson. Outside that government presence there were a half dozen or so Catholic missions between Tucson and Nogales.
The portion of that state (Gila River and north there of) aquired by the US as result of that war had no official Mexican presence. The portion south of that river was purchased in the Gadsen Purchase… a straight up real estate deal.
So, the claim all that land "belonged" to Mexico prior to 1846 is very tenious at best.
Of course, things like Raza and Hispanic studies programs like that of the U of A or the one in the TUSD that are run and heavily populated with the far Left have invented revisionist histories that attempt to pervert the facts to no end.
One last thing; Why on earth would the US or its population want to emulate Mexico in any way? Mexico has for most of its history been ruled by a dictatorship, been rife with graft and corruption, mired in the Third World, and could even be characterized at times as a failed state?
Just because the official government statistics make it clear that Obama deported more Hispanics than any other president, that's just because he had all the official government statistics fabricated. I foolishly looked at those official statistics and posted them here an election or so ago, but was corrected by one of our fine, upstanding Tea types.
And if Obama is deporting more Hispanics than any other president, why did Hispanics overwhelmingly vote for him in the '12 election? Just because he campaigned in Spanish, and reliable Spanish spokespersons all told the Hispanics that Obama had only deported criminals, not law abiding Hispanics, even if they didn't have papers. (Of course, if they didn't have papers, they were deported as the heinous criminals they were, but still, Obama only deported criminals.) But Obama deported quietly, while previous presidents staged a very few, very public raids to convince the voters they were tough on immigration (while trying to reassure Hispanics). Obama did the opposite, and it seems to have worked, at least as far as re-election was concerned.
But Obama's fabrications have caught up with him, and he'll NEVER be re-elected again!
The turkeys were born here…
If they're here illegally they get deported.
Southern Arizona was part of a state of Mexico, and not in same territory as northern Arizona. That was why the Gasden Purchase was necessary later (so railroads could go through the southern route).
Your claim that Mexico's claims were tenuous are silly. The United States recognized those claims.
From Wikipedia:
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo specified the major consequence of the war: the forced Mexican Cession of the territories of Alta California and New Mexico to the U.S. in exchange for $15 million.
You don't pay that kind of money for something you argue is tenuous. That amount was about the same as the US paid for the Louisiana Purchase. (and if you want tenuous claims, just look at the history of French Louisiana.)
And of course you ignored New Mexico and California which were well settled.
@Baslim the beggar says, "Vanished is not vanquished."
Thanks for another fine post Baslim.
Then they must be illegal. They only work a few days a month, in any case, and do nothing of value, so, no loss.
Might also be worth looking into some of those Spanish land grants in New Mexico that are still legally binding. Or, check out Pio Pico in California. Or, the Hispanic history of Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, etc.
To qualify, I should have said "Hispanics", but I don't like that term, as many of my "Mexican" friends who are fifth and sixth generation born in the U.S. also prefer.
But of course all those Birchers and birthers know that John Wayne won the battle of the Alamo, and also led the first REAL European settlers into California.
The turkey is here LEGALLY! Actually simple. Years of breaking the laws of the land does not make them legal.

July 22 (Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks rose, with the regional benchmark index erasing its loss for the year, as a new aid plan for Greece eased concern Europe's debt crisis will spread, reducing uncertainty about bank earnings.
HSBC Holdings Plc, Europe's biggest lender by market value, climbed 2.8 percent in Hong Kong. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., Japan's largest bank by market value, jumped 3.3 percent in Tokyo after the Nikkei newspaper said the lender's profit may have more than doubled. Samsung Electronics Co., the world's biggest maker of computer memory chips, rose 1 percent after Microsoft Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. posted profits that beat estimates.
"Europe seems to have prevented the Greek sovereign-debt issue from escalating into something bigger," said Ng Soo Nam, the Singapore-based chief investment officer at Nikko Asset Management Co., which oversees about $154 billion. "There's a case for a decent rebound for the market from these levels."
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index gained 1.3 percent 138.94 as of 7:16 p.m. in Tokyo, its biggest advance this month and headed toward its highest close since May 5. About four stocks rose for each that fell on the gauge, which is headed for a 2.3 percent advance this week. The measure dropped last week for the first time in four weeks after European finance ministers declined to rule out a temporary default for Greece and as Moody's Investors Service put the U.S. under review for a possible credit-rating downgrade.
Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average and South Korea's Kospi Index both increased 1.2 percent. Taiwan's Taiex Index gained 0.6 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index advanced 2.1 percent, the most among regional benchmark indexes. China's Shanghai Composite Index added 0.2 percent. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index climbed 1 percent.
'Risk Tolerance'
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.3 percent today. The index rose 1.4 percent yesterday in New York as European officials announced 159 billion euros ($230 billion) in new aid for Greece to stop the region's debt crisis from spreading.
Europe's steps to support Greece and safeguard other euro- area nations will allow markets to move past contagion fears, Institute of International Finance Managing Director Charles Dallara said.
"Confirmation there's going to be more support for Greece eases concern about the financial system and it gives investors a little more tolerance for risk," said Juichi Wako, a senior strategist at Tokyo-based Nomura Holdings Inc.
Esprit Surges
Companies reliant on Europe advanced. HSBC climbed 2.8 percent to HK$78 in Hong Kong. Esprit Holdings Ltd., the Hong Kong-based clothier that counts Europe as its biggest market, jumped 5.2 percent to HK$24.15. Cosco Pacific Ltd., which operates container facilities at Greece's Piraeus port, increased 3.3 percent to HK$13.14.
U.S stocks also rose after the New York Times reported that President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner were close to a "major budget deal," boosting optimism the government will avoid defaulting on its debt. Jay Carney, Obama's spokesman, and Boehner responded to the story by saying there is no deal.
A gauge of finance companies led the advance among the 10 industry groups in the MSCI Asia Pacific Index after Morgan Stanley, the world's largest brokerage, posted a second-quarter loss that was smaller than analysts estimated.
Yuanta Financial Holding Co., the Taiwanese financial services company, advanced 4.2 percent to NT$21.20. Nomura Holdings Inc., Japan's No. 1 brokerage, gained 3.2 percent to 393 yen in Tokyo. Smaller rival Daiwa Securities Group Inc. rose 2 percent to 355 yen.
Commonwealth Bank
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial advanced 3.3 percent to 407 yen. The Japanese bank may post net income of about 400 billion yen ($5.1 billion) in the quarter ended June 30, compared with 166.3 billion yen a year earlier, the Nikkei newspaper reported. Mitsubishi UFJ said in a statement it is still in the process of compiling its earnings reports.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation's No. 1 lender by market value, advanced 1.6 percent to A$50.52 in Sydney. The bank appointed Ian Narev to replace Chief Executive Officer Ralph Norris in December as competition intensifies in the country's weakest mortgage market in three decades.
Information technology companies climbed after Microsoft, the largest software maker, and Advanced Micro Devices, the second-biggest manufacturer of processors for personal computers, both reported profits that beat estimates.
Samsung Electronics rose 1 percent to 850,000 won. Quanta Computer Inc., the world's largest laptop computer maker by sales, added 0.7 percent to NT$68.90. Lenovo Group Ltd., China's biggest maker of personal computers, gained 1.8 percent to HK$5.15 in Hong Kong.
Oil Rigs
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index erased its loss for the year as companies reported positive earnings. Among the 47 companies in the gauge that posted results since July 11, 29 beat the average profit estimate, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Keppel Corp., the world's biggest builder of oil platforms, advanced 3.1 percent to S$11.16 in Singapore. The company said net income climbed 9 percent from a year earlier to S$384.9 million ($318 million), exceeding the S$341.5 million average of four analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
The regional benchmark index lost 0.4 percent this year through yesterday, compared with a gain of 6.9 percent by the S&P 500 and a drop of 1.9 percent by the Stoxx Europe 600 Index. Stocks in the Asian benchmark were valued at 13.6 times estimated earnings on average, compared with 13.5 times for the S&P 500 and 11 times for the Stoxx 600.

Caleb Moore, Freestyle Snowmobile Rider, Dies After X Games Crash
Caleb Moore, a freestyle snowmobile rider, who suffered a spectacular crash during last week's Winter X Games in Aspen, died today because of his injuries, his family said.
Moore was 25.
Here's how ESPN, which hosts the X Games, describes the incident:
"The 25-year-old was performing a flip Thursday when he clipped the top of a jump and went over the handlebars. The snowmobile rolled over him, but he walked off the course with help and went to a hospital with a concussion.
"While there, he developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to Grand Junction for surgery Friday. His family said Sunday that Moore then had a secondary complication involving his brain. They didn't provide details. He had been in critical condition.
"Moore's younger brother, Colten, also crashed in the competition and sustained a separated pelvis."
Video of the crash can be seen in this YouTube clip.
The New York Times reports that Moore, from Krum, Tex., was already an accomplished "trick artist" on four-wheel all-terrain vehicles when he took up the 450-pound snowmobile. He learned how to do a back-flip on the vehicle just weeks before the 2010 X Games.
"Despite only weeks of practice on the snow," the Times reports, he "won a bronze medal that year."
In a statement, ESPN said they were "deeply saddened."
"He will be remembered for his natural passion for life and his deep love for his family and friends, and he will always be an inspiration to everyone he touched in the action sports community," the network said.
The Chicago Tribune reports that this is the first death in the 17-year history of the Winter X Games, "but his death raises some serious questions about the safety of the Games, which challenge athletes to push themselves to extremes."
