Research interests
Nanotechnology: Quantum dots (QD's) are zero-dimensional semiconducting nanocrystals that have electronic and optical properties different from their bulk counterparts. QD's have attracted much attention due to their potential applications in sensing, drug delivery and catalysis. Traditional QD's are composed of heavy metals such as Fe, Pb and Cd. I am interested in developing "green" alternatives to heavy metal based quantum dots. My previous work with calcium-based nanostructures demonstrated that they are a viable alternative with a quantum yield comparable to their cadmium-based counterparts. I am interested in developing metal sulfide nanostructures and studying their electronic, optical and thermal properties.
Biomedical sciences: With the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria, there is a need for the development of a new generation of antibiotic agents. I am interested in studying metal sulfide nanomaterials with different degrees of functionalization as alternative antimicrobial agents. According to recent studies, the composition, size and oxidation state of a nanoparticle are factors that can alter the antibiological activity of a given nanomaterial. My interest is the systematic study using experimental procedures as well as theoretical models for the prediction of antibacterial activity for a series of nanoscaled materials.
- Environmental science: The use of pesticides in agriculture can lead to pollution of halogenated organic compounds (HOC's) in water. The detrimental effects are severe, including toxicity to mammalian and non-mammalian organisms, through skin contact or ingestion. There is a need for the development of sequestering HOC's from our bodies of water. I am interested in developing functionalized nanostructures for the detection and removal of HOC's from aqueous media. Successful design and synthesis of nanomaterials that can serve as filters for HOC's can lead to improvement of water quality in a region affected by agricultural practices or pesticide use in general.

text:
I was thinking recently about the phrase "used by God." It often comes loaded with expectations. Sometimes that pressure comes from external forces: church leaders, Christian websites, our own past experiences, etc., and sometimes the pressure comes from within. The little voice telling us we're not being useful to God unless we're actively doing something.
We might think (or have been told!) to be used by God means "bringing people to the Lord" or "building orphanages in Africa" or "serving in the church nursery" or "being involved in your local community." If we're lucky we might have been told that being used by God can be as simple as ministering to those closest to you, your immediate and wider family.
But what happens when you or someone around you is hanging on to faith by the fingertips? What does "being used by God" look like then?
What if being used by God means being willing to delve into the darkness within your own heart and within the hearts of others? What if it means not hiding your doubt? Not denying it or pushing it under the carpet? What if it means being real, raw and honest about the doubts, about the questions, about all that stuff we are so good at avoiding? What if we said we were done with the polite, "I'm fine," responses when we're really not?
What if it means not trying to fix it too quickly; instead, accepting it's part of the journey and that by acknowledging the dark places and doubt, and really digging into it, the journey will be richer and deeper and truer. And actually bring you closer to God.
We assume what we see as negative = BAD
What we feel as negative = MUST BE FIXED
What we hear as negative = NOT ACCEPTABLE
What we are told is negative = WRONG
What if we change the way we look at faith by changing the equation?
Negative = OPPORTUNITY
Maybe what we see as negative, what we see as unacceptable questioning and doubt – maybe that is actually a necessary opportunity to figure things out, and we just can't see it yet!
Maybe we need to stop trying for the immediate fixes and learn to be.
It's not about sitting under those negative thoughts like a cloud or about letting them break you. It's about being willing to engage with the darkness, dig into the doubt, asking yourself, why is this a question for me? What might God be trying to speak to my heart through this time? It's about getting support from others who have walked a similar journey, not walking this path alone.
What if "exercising your faith" means holding on to faith? Holding on to God even when you don't believe, or when you can't believe? What if it means holding on even when you have big questions, valid questions, questions that you can no longer ignore?
What if?

Creating a limited liability company, or LLC, is one of several ways to structure a business. The other choices are general, limited, or limited liability partnerships. A shareholder in an LLC is not personally liable for any of the debts of the company, other than for the money they invested in that company. In a general partnership, all partners manage the business and are personally liable for its debts. In limited partnerships, partners' liability is limited and they have no voice in the decision-making. And in a limited liability partnership (LLP), all partners have some degree of limited liability. A lawyer with LLC experience can help you determine if forming an LLC is advantageous and appropriate for your business. If you decide to form an LLC, the attorney can draft the paperwork you need to formalize your choice, including provisions for management, ownership transfers, and profit and loss distributions.

It's 1942 and private detective Toby Peters is hired by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to retrieve the President's beloved pooch Fala. Mrs. Roosevelt believes Fala was snatched and a substitute left in his place. It seems a crackpot rival political party is trying to take over the government and may have kidnapped the dog to throw the President off his stride.
This quirky plot is aided by the usual offbeat characters including Toby's amusing elderly landlady who calls him Mr. Peelers and thinks he's an exterminator/book editor; Toby's intrepid best friend, Gunther, a little person; Toby's landlord, the incompetent dentist Shelly Minck, who's as likely to land you in the hospital as fix your teeth; Toby's pal Jeremy, an ex-wrestler/would be poet who provides muscle for Toby's team; and so on. The famous actor Buster Keaton even makes a brief appearance.
Not that much mystery to the plot but it's a fun, light read.

Affairs of State
Disclaimer: Castle in the Air (1990), sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, was written by Diana Wynne Jones.
Certain varieties of experience are bound to have lasting repercussions. Justin considered himself to be something of an authority on that matter, after having spent considerable time living in bodies other than his own. A shift of perspective, a change of tastes, these would not be in the least unusual, Justin firmly believed -- nothing out of the ordinary.
Nevertheless, as always, he would ask, "You're quite certain no one will be barging in?"
As always, she would reply, "Everyone is well aware that I'm not to be disturbed for Friday tea."
All the same, he invariably was relieved when she bolted the door for good measure. Thereafter, it was merely a matter of certain exchanges and of selecting the proper and most attractive accessories.
As always, he would complain, "This padding is rather awkward, I find."
As always, she would reply, "Oh, do stop dithering. As I recall, you were glad enough for it the first time."
He would allow her point. She in turn would allow him to reaffix the Strangian Campaign medals to his tunic. After all, he was quite fond of their colours; he'd selected them himself before leading the army of Ingary's invasion.
As always, she would study the effect, dust off her hands, and say, "Well then, I believe we're ready. Shall we?"
As always, he would incline his head gracefully in agreement, taking care not to upset the tiara.
The Conqueror of Strangia then would click heels smartly and bow, before offering an arm. The Jharine of Jham would accept this escort to the nearby divan. The Prince would set aside the sword and take opposite place for their afternoon tea.
As always, the Jharine of Jham would pause in his pouring to murmur, "I say, you look quite fetching in my kit."
As always, the Prince of Ingary would say heartily, "And you look far lovelier in the full rig than I ever did."
The Jharine would blush prettily before snapping open his fan. The Prince would place a booted ankle casually upon her knee and settle back, openly admiring the fine view.
And, as always, Justin would congratulate himself once again for having captured Beatrice, the most practical of princesses.

Morton cures have loads of salt in them. You would be better off using Cure 1 and adjusting your salt content from there.

I have to agree! I bought a bag of Morton's Tender Quick, cause that's what a friend suggested for my first Canadian Bacon, anyway it was WAY too SALTY for us and I've never used it since.

Yea, I wonder too!!! :) Im also interested in a salt alternative. Anyone try potassium chloride? It is a salt, but maybe not as problematic as Sodium.
I would think it *could* be ok to greatly reduce salt if you are making jerky from whole meats and not ground meats. I do not know for sure though.
I would take certain precautions like cooking it in an oven first then moving it over to a dehydrator. Just my opinion and I am just a beginner. ;P

We suggest the post you choose is at least 600-800mm longer than the height of your fence combination so that you can anchor it securely below the ground. If you would like to add a gravel board as well as a trellis to your 1830mm fence panel, we recommend that you purchase a 3.0m fence post. If you wish to choose our tallest fence panels (1980mm), on its own with either a trellis or gravel board, we advise that you also select our 3.0m post.

Producers include: Dave Kapp, Henri Rene, Dennis Farnon, Ed Welker, Joe Carlton.
Compilation producer: Paul Williams.
Recorded between 1952 & 1961. Includes liner notes by Joseph F. Laredo.
Digitally remastered by Mike Harty & Bill Lacey.
Personnel: Millard Thomas, Frantz Casseus (guitar).
Director: Ralph Hunter.
Released in 2001, this 22-track compilation presents many of the finest 1950s and early-'60s recordings by the "King of Calypso," Harry Belafonte. Although the soulful Jamaican-born singer/actor ventured into various musical genres, the set remains largely focused on Belafonte's island-themed pop songs, most notably the boisterous "Day-O (Banana Boat)" and the lilting "Jamaica Farewell." There are occasional exceptions, though, such as his elegant take on Leadbelly's blues classic "Cotton Fields." For those wanting only one Belafonte disc in their music collection, this is it.

How To Understand Your Psychic Studying
All Love Psychic Reading should examine the previous, and clarify how dealings as nicely as particular actions taken then, contributed to the current scenario. They may point out present issues and how best to conquer them as well. But, no doubt, the primary component of a love reading, will be predicting the long term.
Please make particular, in order to avoid becoming ripped off, you check out their bona fides. The best approach to do this is to get a personal reference from a buddy. If this is not feasible, observe if there are recommendations on the web site. Any phone psychic who guarantees genuine readings should be happy to provide any testimonials you want. Bear in mind also, that as quickly as the reading is underway, put a quit to the discussion if the fortune teller states things that dont seem suitable.
Know who you are working with. Bigger is not always better in the world of on-line psychic readings. Familiarize yourself with the policies of the website, so that you know if your reader is a true psychic or just a pleasant ear that was in a position to sign up to give sympathetic guidance without any accurate psychic qualifications. Smaller reading websites frequently are much better for live psychic readings because the psychics are generally tested, verified, and certified, and accountable for the readings they provide. Sometimes a smaller psychic reading site will guarantee the readings given by their readers. Larger sites may have no assure, no refund coverage, and if you encounter somebody there who is not a genuine psychic you are out your money and there is no recourse.
Readings can also be taken by way of letter or e-mail. Here the Phone Psychic Reading will function from your name, date of beginning and questions, and will type the answers back to you in an e-mail or letter structure. It is often said that as quickly as you create down a spiritual question, you are setting out a prayer for the universe to solution, so that magic is in the air straight away.
Modern world has shrunk the universe by supplying easy accessibility to every thing within seconds and, psychic studying is not an exception to it. Phone Psychic Reading is a new way of obtaining psychic guidance. The importance of Phone Psychic Reading is that it is accessible all over the place and, reachable by everyone throughout the world in less than couple of seconds. Utilizing a mobile telephone, 1 can get a psychic prediction within no time. The cost incurred to avail this facility is also affordable.
Psychic consultations have existed for long, but, with invent and progress of science; web has really seeped into every sector and area of lifestyle and profession. Even person to individual psychic periods have been changed by Love Psychic Reading. Many individuals prefer online psychic consultations, which is often via chat session, 1 of the significant attraction is you do not have to journey, and also do not have to face the opposite person.
Because of this expanding popularity of Psychics, many of the top psychic readings and guidance supplier that goal to give enlightenment to individuals on the various elements of their lives with the help of their genuine and experienced

by phone. Sure, phone psychic reading has now been produced possible and available by lots of online primarily based psychic communities. Access to real psychics, as well as skilled types, has now been produced simpler and much more convenient.
There are many kinds of Want A
Psychic Reading? readings. The initial is the distance reading, and this occurs when the client is not present at the time of the studying. This is often recognized as a phone psychic reading and is the foundation for a massive on-line business. Now you can speak to a reader from anyplace in the globe which is great as it opens up option for you.
Everyone will have a great deal of problems to think about prior to choosing a telephone psychic. First of all, should be really discovering some phone quantity. It's always foremost that you select a psychic that is reliable and legitimate. An additional central thought, is deciding how you want to pay, and exactly how a lot you are prepared to spend. You should determine if you want to go with an impartial psychic, or one who works for a business.
Though totally free will is a present and all of us have it, there are times and circumstances when we simply want to know what has happened, or what will occur subsequent, even if that means looking into our previous that is bleak and cold. These are just some of the factors that inform us why gifted individuals exist. human beings like Want A Psychic Reading?.
Your relatives unconsciously tuned into your thoughts by believed transference. By concentrating strongly upon the injury you give the thought sufficient energy for your relatives to choose it up by other than normal sensory indicates.
In as much as we anticipate such readings to be answers to our questions, be aware that it does not provide answers to all. These readings are not the whole solutions.

Wireless networks are widely used, frequently being deployed in homes, offices and at wireless "hot spots." Wireless hot spots are usually in public places where users can connect to a network, often for a fee, through a wireless access point.
To facilitate widespread use of wireless networking, protocols for connecting to and communicating through a wireless access point have been standardized. For example, many wireless networks operate according to a protocol specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard. Standardizing wireless protocols makes it easier for a computer to connect to a wireless network through an access point. Standardization is particularly important for connection at a hot spot where portable computers, which could be owned and configured by many different people, are brought to the hot spot. Even though the hot spot may be configured by someone who has no knowledge of and no control over the portable computers that connect to a network through the wireless access point, if both the portable computers and wireless access point operate according to the same protocol, connection should be possible.
Despite standardization, it is still possible that a portable computer may not gain a desired level of network access through a wireless access point. Problems may arise because a portable computer is not configured properly. For example, the wireless access point may not accept the security settings on the portable computer or the portable computer may attempt to connect to a port that is blocked at the wireless access point. A mis-configuration of the portable computer also may interfere with network access in other ways, such as by precluding interaction with a DHCP, DNS or web proxy server.
Further, hardware problems in either the portable computer or the wireless access point may prevent reliable exchange of information. Also, radio frequency signals may propagate with poor quality, which may limit or preclude network access. Such signal transmission problems can arise if the portable computer is out of range of the wireless access point or excessive radio frequency noise in the vicinity of the wireless access point or the portable computer interferes with signal transmission.
Consequently, users of portable computers may be prevented from accessing a network through a wireless access point for any of a number of reasons. Identifying and correcting the source of a problem interfering with network access may be particularly vexing for users of portable computers attempting to access a network at a wireless hot spot. Error sources not found in traditional wired networks may be introduced by the wireless link between the portable computer and the wireless access point. Additionally, wireless hot spots are generally self-service and do not have support staff to aid in problem resolution. To compound the user's difficulty, many problems interfering with network access may exhibit the same symptoms as other problems, making it difficult for a user to identify the source of any particular problem.
The invention relates to the diagnosis and/or repair of network access problems experienced by hosts accessing a wireless network. Hosts in the vicinity of an access point obtain status information about their connectivity to the network and their configuration. A host experiencing a network access problem may send a request for information to other hosts in the vicinity. In reply, one or more hosts may provide status information. A host experiencing a problem may use this status information to diagnose or repair the problem.
The foregoing is a non-limiting summary of the invention, which is defined by the attached claims.
The accompanying drawings are not intended to be drawn to scale. In the drawings, each identical or nearly identical component that is illustrated in various figures is represented by a like numeral. For purposes of clarity, not every component may be labeled in every drawing. In the drawings:
A user's experience in accessing a network through a wireless access point may be significantly improved with a system that can aid in the diagnosis of network access problems. In some embodiments, the system is implemented in software within host computers designed to control access to a network through a wireless access point. The software in each computer may collect status information concerning network access by that host through the access point and on the configuration of the host. This status information may be shared among the hosts in the vicinity of the wireless access point. A host experiencing an access problem may receive status information from other hosts and may process the status information to diagnose the access problem. Such a system may be of particular benefit for users of hosts, such as portable computers equipped with wireless network interface cards, seeking access to a network at a wireless hot spot where connectivity problems can be particularly frustrating for users.
Computer users may bring portable computers 112A, 112B and 112C to wireless hot spot 110 and attempt to connect to a network through wireless access point 120. In this example, portable computers 112A, 112B and 112C are illustrated as laptop computers. However, any suitable computer may serve as a host for access to a network through wireless access point 120 and it is not necessary that all hosts be of the same form. For example, a pocket computer, smartphone or personal digital assistant (PDA) may serve as a host.
Wireless access point 120 forms a portion of a local area network 122. Hosts within wireless hot spot 110 may connect through wireless access point 120 to local area network 122. Accordingly, local area network 122 may include one or more devices that provide services to hosts within wireless hot spot 110. In the pictured example, a DHCP server 124 is shown to be connected to local area network 122. DHCP server 124 may be a DHCP server as used in a conventional local area network. The function of DHCP server 124 is to provide IP addresses to hosts connecting to local area network 122.
Local area network 122 also includes local DNS server 126. Local DNS server 126 may be a DNS server as used in a conventional network. As devices connected to local area network 122 seek to access devices by domain name, local DNS server 126 resolves domain names identifying remote hosts connected to wide area network 130 to specific network addresses. Local DNS server 126 therefore allows hosts at wireless hot spot 110 to access remote hosts.
Local area network 122 may also include a web proxy server 128. Web proxy server 128 provides a connection to wide area network 130, which may in many embodiments be the Internet. Web proxy server 128 may be a proxy server as used in a conventional network.
Wireless access point 120, DHCP server 124, local DNS server 126 and web proxy server 128 cooperate to allow a host at wireless hot spot 110 to have network access. For example, host 112A may connect through local area network 122 to wide area network 130 so that host 112A may access remote server 140.
The path from host 112A to remote server 140 contains many elements. A problem at any part of that path may cause the user of host 112A to have a negative experience as the user attempts to perform a function with host 112A that requires access to remote server 140. Unfortunately, the user may not be able to identify the source of such a problem and therefore may be unable to correct it. For example, a hardware problem within host 112A may prevent network access. Alternatively, problems with the wireless link between host 112A and wireless access point 120 may similarly prevent network access. Network access may also be disrupted by a problem within wireless access point 120 or any of the servers on local area network 122 that provide information necessary for communication between host 112A and remote server 140. These problems may be defects in the hardware or software of devices, such as DHCP server 124, local DNS server 126 or web proxy server 128. As an example, DHCP server 124 may require host 112A to use an IP address obtained from DHCP server 124, but the server may be down or out of IP addresses. Furthermore, problems within wide area network 130 or even within remote server 140 may preclude host 112A from accessing remote server 140.
These problems can lead to user frustration and other undesirable consequences. To prevent such undesirable consequences, a system to diagnose network access problems may be used. The system may report a diagnosis to a human user of a host seeking network access so that the user may resolve the problem. Alternatively, the system may automatically take corrective action to resolve detected problems. As described in greater detail below, some or all of the hosts within wireless hot spot 110 may be equipped with software that facilitates diagnosis, and possibly correction, of problems with network access experienced by a host.
An example embodiment of a system incorporating such software is described below in the context of the network pictured in
Regardless of the specific implementation of the network in which a diagnostic system is used, the diagnostic system may be implemented by changes to communication software within each host seeking network access at wireless hot spot 110. In some embodiments, the software making up the diagnostic system will be implemented as a portion of the operating system of each of the hosts 112A, 112B and 112C. However, any suitable implementation, including implementation in hardware, may be used.
In the pictured embodiment, each host within wireless hot spot 110 includes an interface through which software on the host may send and receive information for wireless communication with access point 120. Such an interface may be a wireless network adapter as is used in a conventional portable computer. This interface may be a primary network adapter that is used for normal network communication when the host is not operating in diagnostic mode.
Additionally, each of the hosts within wireless hot spot 110 may include a second interface through which it can send and receive information for wireless communication with other nearby hosts. Such an interface may also be implemented as a wireless network adapter described herein as a "helper adapter." The helper adapter may be of the same form as a wireless network adapter in a conventional computer, but may be active only for a host operating in a diagnostic mode. The primary and helper adapters may, in some embodiments, control separate radios within the host. However, in some embodiments, a host may have a single radio and each of the primary and helper adapters may be virtual adapters. Software within the host may interface both the primary adapter and the helper adapter to a single radio, while allowing each adapter to operate as if it had sole control over that radio. Such virtual adapters are known and used in other contexts and may be implemented using conventional programming techniques.
Regardless of the specific implementation of the primary adapter and helper adapter, providing two interfaces for wireless communication allows for each host to communicate either with wireless access point 120 or other hosts in its vicinity. As a result, a host at wireless hot spot 110 may communicate with other hosts at wireless hot spot 110. Host-to-host communication may be used to request and receive status information.
This status information may then be used to diagnose connectivity problems. For example,
Communication between hosts may be initiated by one of the hosts, described herein as a requesting host, sending a request for information. The request may be in a form used to establish a connection in a conventional ad hoc network, but any suitable form of request may be used. In this example, request 210 is formatted as an SSID according to IEEE 802.11 because the SSID will be available to any node that receives beacons for the ad hoc network. Request 210 is here shown with three fields. Field 212 contains a code identifying that request 210 is a request for diagnostic information. Field 214 contains an IP address that the requesting host is monitoring. Similarly, field 216 identifies a port that the requesting host is monitoring. Request 210 may be transmitted by requesting host 112C and received by nearby hosts.
A host receiving request 210 may generate a response, such as response 220B generated by host 112B or response 220A generated by host 112A. Each of the responses 220A and 220B may be in the form of a UDP or TCP packet. The packet may contain status information about the host generating the response, herein described as a "responding host." In an embodiment in which each of the responses 220A and 220B is formatted according to UDP, the response may contain up to 1,200 bytes of information. However, any suitable format for a response may be used.
In some embodiments, it may be desirable to reduce the impact that supplying status information has on a responding host, which is likely being used for other purposes. Accordingly, hosts may be programmed so that multiple responding hosts do not simultaneously respond to request 210. Each host may be programmed to wait for a period of time before responding to request 210. When a requesting host receives a sufficient number of responses, it may terminate the ad hoc network which in effect terminates the request for help transmissions. Nodes that are still waiting to respond will then not respond, thereby sparing themselves the overhead incurred when responding.
The process of sharing status information among hosts is further described in connection with
The processing shown in
Subprocess 310 begins at block 312. At block 312, the requesting host monitors its own network access status. Monitoring performed at block 312 may be performed as in conventional communication software or hardware or may involve capturing information generated as part of normal network communication. However, in some embodiments, status monitoring performed at block 312 may require generation of information not traditionally generated in conventional communication hardware or software.
Status information may be captured or generated by one or more software components that interact with communication hardware and software and act as "sensors." For example, a conventional wireless network interface card may monitor received signal strength. Processing at block 312 may be performed by a sensor that stores received signal strength measurements made by the wireless network interface card. Similarly, a sensor may obtain status information by interacting with a network adaptor that identifies that it has requested an IP address but has not received one.
In some instances, monitoring performed at block 312 does not require storage of information separate from that which occurs as part of the operation of conventional communication hardware or software. However, in other instances, monitoring performed at block 312 may involve additional storage of information. For example, status information obtained at block 312 may include average values of parameters whereas conventional communication software and hardware may store only instantaneous values. In those circumstances, a sensor may periodically obtain values generated by the conventional communication software or hardware and then may compute and store an average value.
Any desired status information may be stored at block 312. In the described embodiment, the information stored at block 312 may also relate to the characteristics of the communication path between a host in wireless hotspot 110 and remote servers, such as remote server 140. However, more or less information may be stored, depending on the types of problem to be identified by a diagnostic system or other factors.
Subprocess 310 continues to block 314. At block 314, user input is provided to trigger diagnosis of a network access problem. Diagnosis could be performed automatically without the requirement of user input, in which case block 314 may be omitted. However, requiring user input as a trigger for the diagnostic processing may reduce the number of requests each host generates to other hosts at wireless hotspot 110 and therefore reduce the overall load on responding hosts.
User input may be received at block 314 in any suitable format. In some embodiments, a host may be programmed to present a user interface through which a user may invoke a "help" tool. A user may provide the input at block 314 by accessing this tool. User input received at block 314 may, in some embodiments, be simply a command to initiate diagnostic processing. In other embodiments, user input received at block 314 may provide additional status information useful in diagnostic processing. For example, a user may provide input specifying whether other hosts are present at the wireless hotspot or describing the nature of the access problem. If user input received at block 314 does not specify a problem, an access problem may be identified from status information stored at block 314 or in any other suitable way.
Regardless of how the diagnostic process is triggered, processing proceeds to block 316. At block 316, communication software within the host experiencing a network access problem sends a request for help. The request sent at block 316 may be in the form of request 210 (
The request for help transmitted at block 316 triggers action within subprocess 350. In embodiments described above, each host includes a primary adapter and a helper adapter. Either adapter may be used to receive the request for help at block 354. In the pictured embodiment, the primary adapter, though predominantly intended for communication with a wireless access point may also monitor for requests for status information. To minimize power consumption, the helper adapter may be activated only if such a request is received.
Subprocess 350 is performed in a responding host at wireless hotspot 110. As shown in
Accordingly, when a request for help is sent by a requesting host at block 316, a responding host on which subprocess 350 is performed may receive that request and may already have status information gathered by the processing at block 352. When the responding host on which subprocess 350 executes receives the request transmitted at block 316, processing within subprocess 350 may proceed to block 354 without delay caused by gathering of status information.
Processing then proceeds to block 356 where a diagnostic communication link is established between the requesting host and the responding host. As described above, any suitable means of establishing a diagnostic communication link may be used. For example, the diagnostic communication link may be established over the Access Point network if the requesting host is also connected and facing performance problems. An ad hoc network may be formed between the requesting host and responding hosts if the requesting host is unable to communicate with a sufficient number of responding hosts over the Access Point network. This ad hoc network is formed using a helper network adapter separate from the primary network adapter used for communication with the wireless access point. The helper network adapter may normally be disabled or otherwise operated in a state to reduce power consumption within the host. Accordingly, when a request for help is received at block 354, the helper adapter and any other components used for communication of diagnostic information may be enabled and initialized at block 356, if needed.
Processing then proceeds to block 358 where status information stored at block 352 is formed into a packet. Any suitable format may be used to transmit status information. In the described embodiment, status information is formatted as a UDP packet with specific fields defined to hold specific types of information. In some instances, information included in the packet formed at block 358 may be encrypted. For example, it may be desirable for a responding host to provide information about an access code or other security information that the responding host uses to perform a network function, such as associating with an access point. However, providing the security information directly would compromise the security information. In some embodiments, security information is obfuscated at block 358 using a one-way hash or other suitable algorithm. Information obfuscated using a one-way hash may not be decrypted by the requesting host. However, the requesting host may apply the same one-way hash to its security information and compare the result. In this way, the requesting host may determine whether it is using the same security information as the responding host.
Regardless of the specific format of the packets formed at block 358, processing proceeds to block 360 where the packets are transmitted. In the described embodiment, the packets are transmitted through the helper adapter in the responding host, but any suitable means of processing may be used.
Any number of packets may be transmitted at block 360. In the described embodiment, each responding host generates status information that fits within one UDP packet. In such an embodiment, a single packet may be transmitted at block 360. However, even when status information from a single responding host fits within a single packet, multiple packets may nonetheless be transmitted at block 360. For example, embodiments of the diagnostic system may be constructed in which each responding host responds to a request for information with a packet containing its own status information and additional packets containing any other status information the responding host may have recently collected from other hosts. For example, if the responding host has previously requested and received status information from other hosts, the information previously received from other hosts may also be transmitted at block 360.
Once the status information is transmitted at block 360, subprocess 350 proceeds to block 362. At block 362, the responding host disengages the diagnostic communication link initialized at block 356. As described above, each host maintains separate communication interfaces for communication with a wireless access point and communication with other hosts as part of the diagnostic system. The interface for diagnostic communication may be operated in a low-power state except when status information is actively being exchanged for diagnostic purposes. Accordingly, it may be desirable to disengage diagnostic communication link at block 362 by disabling a helper adapter or other suitable steps. In the described embodiment, even though the diagnostic communication link is disengaged, each host may nonetheless monitor wireless transmissions so that requests for help are detected.
Subprocess 310 resumes at block 318 following transmission of status packets at block 360. At block 318, the requesting host receives the status packets transmitted by one or more responding hosts. In the described embodiment status packets are received through a helper adapter. However, status packets may be received in any suitable way.
Regardless of the manner in which status packets are received, processing proceeds to block 320. At block 320, the requesting host analyzes the received status packets in conjunction with status information collected for the requesting host. Any suitable processing may be performed on the status information to identify either the existence or source of network access problems. Examples of processing that may be performed are provided in conjunction with
Following the analysis at block 320, corrective action may be taken at block 322. In some embodiments, corrective performed at block 322 may involve adjusting communication settings or other parameters affecting the operation of the requesting host. These adjustments may be made without user interaction. However, in some instances, corrective action will require user involvement. In those instances, corrective action taken at block 322 may involve presenting information through a user interface on the requesting host describing to a user how to correct any network access problems identified at block 320. In other embodiments, corrective action at block 322 may simply involve reporting the results of the analysis performed at block 320 to a human user. Accordingly, any suitable method of taking correction may be performed at block 322.
As described above, analysis performed on the status information may be selected based on problem symptoms experienced by the requesting host.
Conversely, if status packets have been received from other hosts, processing proceeds to decision block 414. At block 414, the process branches depending on whether any of the responding hosts that receive a beacon has the same type of NIC. If none of the hosts that receive a beacon from a wireless access point has the same type of NIC, it is likely either the client's NIC type, its wireless driver, or its location is the cause of the problem. Accordingly, the process branches to termination point 416. If the process reaches termination point 416, a problem with NIC, wireless driver or location has been identified.
However, if at least one of the responding hosts with the same type of NIC has received a beacon from an access point, processing proceeds to decision block 418. At decision block 418, the process branches depending on whether the responding hosts that have received beacons from the access point have the same type of driver software as the requesting host. If the peer that can communicate with the access point and the requesting host have the same type of driver software, the network access problem is likely caused by the requesting host being too far from the access point to reliably receive a signal. Accordingly, in that scenario the process branches to termination point 420 where the network access problem is identified to be that the requesting host is out of range of the access point.
Conversely, if the responding hosts that can communicate with the wireless access point have a different type of driver than the requesting host, then the network access problem is likely caused by a problem with the location or driver software in the requesting host. Accordingly, the process branches to termination point 422 where that problem is identified.
Termination points 412, 416, 420 and 422 all indicate that causes of a network access problem have been identified. The specific causes of the problem identified at those termination points may not be corrected by merely reconfiguring software or hardware within the requesting host. Accordingly, corrective action taken in response to identification of such a problem may be to simply notify the user of the requesting host. For example, a user of a requesting host that is out of range may address the problem by moving closer to the wireless access point. However, it is unlikely that a user will be able to repair a network interface card malfunction or a malfunction with the wireless access point. Nonetheless, being informed of the nature of a network access problem may be an advantage to the user. A user who is aware that the network access problem is outside of his control may spend less time attempting to correct the problem and may be less frustrated. Accordingly, providing a user with diagnostic information of the type depicted in
Alternatively, if responding hosts that can associate with the wireless access point have the same authentication configuration as the requesting host, processing proceeds to decision block 428. At decision block 428, the process branches based on a comparison of link characteristics of the requesting host to comparable link characteristics of responding hosts that can associate with the access point. Any suitable link characteristics may be used for the comparison at decision block 428. For example, the beacon loss rate between the access point and the host may be used as one link characteristic. Beacon lost rate is sometimes collected by network interface cards. However, other link characteristics may be examined to determine whether information is reliably passing between the requesting host and the wireless access point. For example, received signal strength is often measured by wireless network interface cards and alternatively or additionally may be examined at decision block 428.
Regardless of the specific link characteristics examined at decision block 428, if the requesting host has link characteristics indicating significantly less reliable transmission of information than other hosts that can reliably associate with the wireless access point, the likely source of the problem is that the requesting host is too far from the wireless access point for reliable communication. Accordingly, the process branches to termination point 430 where distance between the requesting host and the wireless access point is identified as a cause of the network access problem.
Alternatively, if the requesting host has link characteristics that are comparable or better than link characteristics of other responding hosts that can associate with the wireless access point, the process continues to decision block 432. At decision block 432, the type of network interface card and driver software in the requesting host are compared to those in responding hosts that can associate with the wireless access point. If these hosts have the same type of network interface card and driver software, processing proceeds to termination point 434. By the time processing reaches termination point 434, other possible causes of problems associating with wireless access point have been ruled out. Accordingly, the likely cause of the network access problem is identified as MAC filtering at the access point that is precluding the requesting host from associating with the wireless access point.
Conversely, if the requesting host does not have the same type of network interface card and driver software as other responding hosts that can associate with the wireless access point, processing proceeds to termination point 436. If the processing reaches termination point 436, no specific source of a network access problem has been identified. The network access problem may be the result of an incompatible type of network interface card, an incompatible wireless driver for the network interface card or MAC filtering at the wireless access point.
Turning now to
Conversely, if the requesting host has the same authentication configuration as a responding host that was able to obtain an IP address, the process continues to decision block 444. If any host succeeds in wide-area communication, the process branches to termination point 446. If processing reaches termination point 446, a responding host is able to perform wide-area communication, which rules out general connectivity proglem. The likely cause of the network access problem experienced by the requesting host is a problem within the DHCP server or IP address exhaustion. If processing reaches termination point 446, a problem with the DHCP server or IP address exhaustion is indicated as the source of the problem.
Conversely, if none of the hosts successfully performed wide-area connection recently, the likely source of the problem is either general connectivity problems or DHCP server problems. In this scenario, the process branches from decision block 444 to termination point 448. If the process reaches termination point 448, general connectivity problem or DHCP server problem is indicated as the source of the network access problem.
During subprocess 452, further analysis is performed to identify a reason why the local DNS is unable to reliably resolve an address for a remote server. Subprocess 452 begins at decision block 454. At decision block 454, status information from responding hosts is examined to determine whether a responding host with DNS settings different from the requesting host was able to connect without a high DNS failure rate. If at least one host is able to connect without a high DNS failure rate, the likely cause of the problem is that the LDNS setting is wrong. Accordingly, the process branches termination point 456 where the LDNS setting is identified as the source of the problem.
Conversely, if all other peers experience high DNS failure rate, processing proceeds to decision block 458. At decision block 458, status information from responding hosts is again examined. If no peer receives response from LDNS servers, it is likely that the LDNS server is down. Accordingly, the process branches to block 460 where the LDNS server is identified as the source of the network access problem. However, if some peers receive response from LDNS servers, it is likely that a general DNS problem is causing the network access problem.
Alternatively, when end-to-end failure is detected without a high DNS failure rate, processing branches from decision block 450 to decision block 464. At decision block 464, status information is analyzed to determine whether a network access problem is caused by incorrect web proxy settings. The processing performed at decision block 464 may be similar to that performed in subprocess 452. For example, status information from responding hosts may be examined to determine whether any responding host had a low web proxy failure rate and if the responding hosts with low web proxy failure rates had web proxy settings similar to those used by the requesting host.
Regardless of the specific processing performed at decision block 464, if the processing identifies a web proxy problem, the process branches to termination point 466 where a web proxy problem is identified. As with the processing of subprocess 452, the web proxy problem may be an unreachable web proxy server or a general web proxy problem. If the processing at decision block 464 determines that the web proxy problem is caused by misconfiguration in the requesting host, web proxy settings in the requesting host may be automatically reconfigured.
If the problem is not identified following processing at decision block 464, the process continues to decision block 468. At block 468, status information from the requesting host is examined to identify whether network access problems occur consistently for transmissions through a specific port. If so, the process branches to decision block 470. At decision block 470, status information from responding hosts is analyzed to identify whether any of the responding hosts may communicate through the problem port. If none of the responding hosts may communicate through the problem port, the likely source of the network access problem is a firewall setting at the access point that blocks communication through the problem port. Accordingly, the process branches to termination point 472 where the network access problem is identified as being caused by the setting of the access point firewall.
If responding hosts can communicate through the problem port, the network access problem is likely caused by a problem accessing the remote host being accessed by the requesting host. Accordingly, the process branches to termination point 474 where the network access problem is identified as being caused by a problem accessing the remote host.
Conversely, if processing at decision block 468 does not identify a port-specific problem, processing proceeds to decision block 476. At decision block 476, status information from the responding hosts is examined to identify whether other hosts may communicate with other remote hosts. If no responding hosts can communicate with a remote host, the network access problem is likely caused by a general problem within the local area network (122,
Conversely, if some of the responding hosts are able to communicate with remote hosts, processing branches from decision block 476 to termination point 480. If processing reaches termination point 480, no specific problem has been identified.
Other processing may be performed in response to yet other symptoms of a network access problem.
At decision block 482, the loss rate of information associated with the requesting host is compared to the loss rate of information associated with responding hosts. Loss rate of information may be determined in any suitable way. For example, a wireless access point may transmit periodic beacons that allow hosts to identify the wireless access point. In some embodiments, a host may monitor beacons received from the wireless access point. A host may track the periodicity of beacons transmitted by an access point and identify when beacons are missed. Accordingly, a host may compute its beacon loss rate. However, in some embodiments, similar information may be obtained in other ways. For example, the number of beacons received at the requesting host in comparison to number of beacons received at responding hosts may be an indication of the loss rate of information transmitted to the requesting host. Loss characteristics may be computed using any signal, including signals transmitted by the individual hosts. Regardless of the specific signals analyzed at decision block 482 to identify whether the requesting host is experiencing high loss in communications, the cause of the problem is likely a weak wireless link been the requesting host and the wireless access point. Accordingly, processing branches to termination point 484 where a weak link is identified as the source of the network access problem.
Conversely, if processing at decision block 482 does not identify a weak link as the source of the problem, processing proceeds to decision block 486. At decision block 486, status information received from responding hosts is analyzed to identify whether any of the responding hosts has a large transmit queue but does not have a weak link. If some of the hosts have large transmit queues but do not have weak links, it is likely that poor performance in the transmission of information is caused by congestion on the wireless link. Accordingly, processing branches to termination point 488 where congestion in the wireless medium is identified as the source of the network access problem.
Conversely, if congested medium is not identified as the source of the problem at decision block 486, the process branches to termination point 490. If the process reaches termination point 490, a WAN problem or congestion in WAN has been identified.
The foregoing processing is illustrative of processing that may be performed based on status information obtained from the requesting host and from other responding hosts. Though the processing steps may be performed in the order indicated, such an order is not required. Processing steps may be performed in parallel or in any other suitable ordering.

Gosh, my kids are growing up so fast. I can't even handle it, you guys. Where did my little babies go?
Dom just lost one of his front teeth and a second one is hours away from falling out. He's handling Tae Kwon Do classes like a pro. He loves to read - the Goosebumps series, books about squids or David and Goliath. He's a deep thinker and is always asking questions so he can understand the ways of the world. But he still has this sense of innocence about him and I just wish I could keep him trapped at the age of 7 forever. I know that everyone has to go through things in life - they shape you as a person and all that jazz. But I don't want to see him cry or get his heart broken or realize how shitty things can be in life sometimes. When that childlike innocence leaves his eyes, my heart will ache something awful.

Will is in that stage where he goes back and forth between wanting to be independent and wanting to be mommy's little baby. His reading gets better and better every day. He never gives up - sounding out words like a champ. He loves snuggling with me and watching a movie or making goofy faces on SnapChat. He is his big brother's little shadow, mimicking his every move. He never misses a beat - he's so quiet and observant and takes everything in. But shew, that boy is stubborn. Gets it from his dad, of course. ;)

I've said it before and I'll say it a 1,000 more times because it never stops being true - being a mom to these 2 boys has made me the happiest person on Earth. Somebody make a "never grow up" pill so I can keep them with me forever. Wishful thinking?

Ice cream-eating squirrel - nicknamed Putter - amazes North Carolina beach-goers
No matter the weather, a squirrel at Holden Beach in Brunswick County has to have her ice cream.
There's a North Carolina ice cream shop serving up scoops.but not just to humans!
Venezuela's Maduro blasts foe for chemical attack comments
Another 19-year-old man, Jairo Ortiz, died on Thursday after being shot in the chest when police broke up a protest in Caracas . Opposition leaders slammed the government for arbitrary use of force in breaking up Monday's demonstrations.
The owners of the shop say all you need to do is call the name of the squirrel and Putter will come down to get some ice cream. They say Putter started visiting last summer and starting getting friendly with customers, that's when they started giving her ice cream - either vanilla or no sugar added. "We give her a little treat twice a day - that's probably enough", owner Scott Martin told Inside Edition.
"The first thing they ask for: 'Is Putter here?"
Susan Rice may have committed a crime, Trump says without providing evidence
She called the unmasking process routine and said she only did it when it pertained to matters of national security. Rice has said that the pace of intelligence reports on Russian meddling increased beginning in the summer of 2016.
"It's not good for the animal because you're teaching that animal to expect food from people", Jessie Birckhead, a biologist with North Carolina's Wildlife Resources commission, told the paper. "So they come. They know she's here and they want to see her".
Putter arrives on time to grab her vanilla cone. The Martins say Putter has become a special piece of the family.
Suspect in Janesville Now Considered National Threat by Federal Bureau of Investigation
The associate also said Jakubowski had made non-specific threats toward schools and public officials, according to the sheriff. Anyone with information about Jakubowski's location is asked to contact the Rock County Sheriff's Office, 608-757-7911.
Putter, who also goes by the nickname Put Put, eats her ice cream from personal, petite-sized cones the shop keeps in a plastic bag just for her. She'll run around the course and play with the golf balls. She's very tolerant of us.
