Veteran's Benefits
Most veterans are not aware of the non-service connected pension benefits that are available to them, more commonly known as the "Housebound Pension" and "Aid and Attendance Benefit." This pension is available to many veterans or veterans' spouses with low incomes who are either permanently and totally disabled or over 65 years of age and are housebound, or are in assisted living, or even in a nursing home. The veteran needs to have served at least 90 days active duty with at least one day during a qualified war period.
Veterans and/or their spouses need to prove that their medical expenses exceed certain income and asset limitations. The maximum benefit available can provide significant help in paying for long term care costs.
Speaking with an experienced elder law attorney is very important in this process. Our lawyers at Tully Rinckey can assist you and your family by explaining what may seem like many difficult and complex concepts about veteran's benefits and long-term care. We can:

This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending application Ser. No. 09/151,579, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Accessing a Computer Network Communication Channel", filed Sep. 11, 1998, by Rajugopal R. Gubbi, Natarajan Ekambaram and Nirmalendu Bikash Patra, and assigned to the Assignee of the present application.
The present invention relates generally to a scheme for communications within a computer network and, in particular, to asynchronous communications as occur between a central server and one or more clients across a wireless communications link.
Modern computer networks allow for inter-communication between a number of nodes such as personal computers, workstations, peripheral units and the like. Network links transport information between these nodes, which may sometimes be separated by large distances. However, to date most computer networks have relied on wired links to transport this information. Where wireless links are used, they have typically been components of a very large network, such as a wide area network, which may employ satellite communication links to interconnect network nodes separated by very large distances. In such cases, the transmission protocols used across the wireless links have generally been established by the service entities carrying the data being transmitted, for example, telephone companies and other service providers.
In the home environment, computers have traditionally been used as stand-alone devices. More recently, however, there have been some steps taken to integrate the home computer with other appliances. For example, in so-called "Smart Homes", computers may be used to turn on and off various appliances and to control their operational settings. In such systems, wired communication links are used to interconnect the computer to the appliances that it will control. Such wired links are expensive to install, especially where they are added after the original construction of the home.
In an effort to reduce the difficulties and costs associated with wired communication links, some systems for interconnecting computers with appliances have utilized analog wireless links for transporting information between these units. Such analog wireless links operate at frequencies commonly utilized by wireless telephones. Although easier to install than conventional wired communication links, analog wireless communication links suffer from a number of disadvantages. For example, degraded signals may be expected on such links because of multipath interference. Furthermore, interference from existing appliances, such as televisions, cellular telephones, wireless telephones and the like may be experienced. Thus, analog wireless communication links offer less than optimum performance for a home environment.
In the above-referenced co-pending application Ser. No. 09/151,579, which is incorporated herein by reference, a computer network employing a digital, wireless communication link adapted for use in the home environment was described. That architecture included a number of network components arranged in a hierarchical fashion and communicatively coupled to one another through communication links operative at different levels of the hierarchy. At the highest level of the hierarchy, a communication protocol that supports dynamic addition of new network components at any level of the hierarchy according to bandwidth requirements within a communication channel operative at the highest level of the network hierarchy is used.
The generalization of this network structure is shown in
Server 12 may be a separate computer that controls the communication link, however, in other cases server 12 may be embodied as an add-on card or other component attached to a host computer (e.g., a personal computer) 13. Server 12 has an associated radio 14, which is used to couple server 12 wirelessly to the other nodes of subnet 10. The wireless link generally supports both high and low bandwidth data channels and a command channel. Here a channel is defined as the combination of a transmission frequency (more properly a transmission frequency band) and a pseudo-random (PN) code used in a spread spectrum communication scheme. In general, a number of available frequencies and PN codes may provide a number of available channels within subnet 10. As is described in the co-pending application cited above, servers and clients are capable of searching through the available channels to find a desirable channel over which to communicate with one another.
Also included in subnet 10 are a number of clients 16, some of which have shadow clients 18 associated therewith. A shadow client 18 is defined as a client which receives the same data input as its associated client 16 (either from server 12 or another client 16), but which exchanges commands with server 12 independently of its associated client 16. Each client 16 has an associated radio 14, which is used to communicate with server 12, and some clients 16 may have associated subclients 20. Subclients 20 may include keyboards, joysticks, remote control devices, multi-dimensional input devices, cursor control devices, display units and/or other input and/or output devices associated with a particular client 16. A client 16 and its associated subclients 20 may communicate with one another via communication links 21, which may be wireless (e.g., infra-red, ultrasonic, spread spectrum, etc.) communication links.
Each subnet 10 is arranged in a hierarchical fashion with various levels of the hierarchy corresponding to levels at which intra-network component communication occurs. At a highest level of the hierarchy exists the server 12 (and/or its associated host 13), which communicates with various clients 16 via the wireless radio channel. At other, lower levels of the hierarchy the clients 16 communicate with their various subclients 20 using, for example, wired communication links or wireless communication links such as infrared links.
Where half-duplex radio communication is used on the wireless link between server 12 and clients 16, a communication protocol based on a slotted link structure with dynamic slot assignment is employed. Such a structure supports point-to-point connections within subnet 10 and slot sizes may be re-negotiated within a session. Thus a data link layer that supports the wireless communication can accommodate data packet handling, time management for packet transmission and slot synchronization, error correction coding (ECC), channel parameter measurement and channel switching. A higher level transport layer provides all necessary connection related services, policing for bandwidth utilization, low bandwidth data handling, data broadcast and, optionally, data encryption. The transport layer also allocates bandwidth to each client 16, continuously polices any under or over utilization of that bandwidth, and also accommodates any bandwidth renegotiations, as may be required whenever a new client 16 comes on-line or when one of the clients 16 (or an associated subclient 20) requires greater bandwidth.
The slotted link structure of the wireless communication protocol for the transmission of real time, multimedia data (e.g., as frames) within a subnet 10 is shown in FIG. 2. At the highest level within a channel, forward (F) and backward or reverse (B) slots of fixed (but negotiable) time duration are provided within each frame transmission period. During forward time slots F, server 12 may transmit video and/or audio data and/or commands to clients 16, which are placed in a listening mode. During reverse time slots B, server 12 listens to transmissions from the clients 16. Such transmissions may include audio, video or other data and/or commands from a client 16 or an associated subclient 20. At the second level of the hierarchy, each transmission slot (forward or reverse) is made up of one or more radio data frames 40 of variable length. Finally, at the lowest level of the hierarchy, each radio data frame 40 is comprised of server/client data packets 42, which may be of variable length.
Each radio data frame 40 is made up of one server/client data packet 42 and its associated error correction coding (ECC) bits. Variable length framing is preferred over constant length framing in order to allow smaller frame lengths during severe channel conditions and vice-versa. This adds to channel robustness and bandwidth savings. Although variable length frames may be used, however, the ECC block lengths are preferably fixed. Hence, whenever the data packet length is less than the ECC block length, the ECC block may be truncated (e.g., using conventional virtual zero techniques). Similar procedures may be adopted for the last block of ECC bits when the data packet is larger.
As shown in the illustration, each radio data frame 40 includes a preamble 44, which is used to synchronize pseudo-random (PN) generators of the transmitter and the receiver. Link ID 46 is a field of fixed length (e.g., 16 bits long for one embodiment), and is unique to the link, thus identifying a particular subnet 10. Data from the server 12/client 16 is of variable length as indicated by a length field 48. Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits 50 may be used for error detection/correction in the conventional fashion.
For the illustrated embodiment then, each frame 52 is divided into a forward slot F, a backward slot B, a quiet slot Q and a number of radio turn around slots T. Slot F is meant for server 12-to-clients 16 communication. Slot B is time shared among a number of mini-slots B1, B2, etc., which are assigned by server 12 to the individual clients 16 for their respective transmissions to the server 12. Each mini-slot B1, B2, etc. includes a time for transmitting audio, video, voice, lossy data (i.e., data that may be encoded/decoded using lossy techniques or that can tolerate the loss of some packets during transmission/reception), lossless data (i.e., data that is encoded/decoded using lossless techniques or that cannot tolerate the loss of any packets during transmission/reception), low bandwidth data and/or command (Cmd.) packets. Slot Q is left quiet so that a new client may insert a request packet when the new client seeks to log-in to the subnet 10. Slots T appear between any change from transmit to receive and vice-versa, and are meant to accommodate individual radios' turn around time (i.e., the time when a half-duplex radio 14 switches from transmit to receive operation or vice-versa). The time duration of each of these slots and mini-slots may be dynamically altered through renegotiations between the server 12 and the clients 16 so as to achieve the best possible bandwidth utilization for the channel. Note that where full duplex radios are employed, each directional slot (i.e., F and B) may be full-time in one direction, with no radio turn around slots required.
Forward and backward bandwidth allocation depends on the data handled by the clients 16. If a client 16 is a video consumer, for example a television, then a large forward bandwidth is allocated for that client. Similarly if a client 16 is a video generator, for example a video camcorder, then a large reverse bandwidth is allocated to that particular client. The server 12 maintains a dynamic table (e.g., in memory at server 12 or host 13), which includes forward and backward bandwidth requirements of all on-line clients 16. This information may be used when determining whether a new connection may be granted to a new client. For example, if a new client 16 requires more than the available bandwidth in either direction, server 12 may reject the connection request. The bandwidth requirement (or allocation) information may also be used in deciding how many radio packets a particular client 16 needs to wait before starting to transmit its packets to the server 12. Additionally, whenever the channel conditions change, it is possible to increase/reduce the number of ECC bits to cope with the new channel conditions. Hence, depending on whether the information rate at the source is altered, it may require a dynamic change to the forward and backward bandwidth allocation.
The use of the slotted link communication architecture described above can present challenges for accommodating asynchronous data transmissions within a subnet 10. For example, consider a file transfer process between a network master (e.g., server 12) and a client 16 that takes place in an operating environment under the control of the Windows™ operating system (or one of its variants) produced by Microsoft corporation of Redmond, Wash. In such a transfer, the requesting entity (i.e., the network resource, say a personal computer, requesting the transfer of data) initiates the transfer by sending a Server Message Block (SMB) protocol command to open the file on the target platform (e.g., a server or another personal computer storing the requested material). The target device responds with another SMB command and supplies the requesting device with a pointer to the requested file. The requesting device, using this pointer, then reads a block of N-bytes from the designated file, specifying the block size using an offset from the pointer provided by the target device. In response, the target device reads N-bytes worth of data from the subject file and delivers this information to a transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) (assuming this is the transfer protocol being used) layer that handles communication between the devices. The TCP/IP layer fragments the N-bytes of data into smaller TCP/IP packets and begins transmitting the packets to the requesting device across the communication channel. As the requesting device receives the packets, it transmits acknowledgements back to the target device. After the last packet for the N-byte transfer has been received and acknowledged, the requesting device transmits another SMB request for the next block of M-bytes from the subject file. M and N may be the same or different, and this process continues until the file transfer is complete.
The above transfer process is serialized under the control of the SMB requests and subsequent responses. This serialization is necessary because the SMB layer on the requesting platform waits for the arrival of the last packet in the previously requested portion of the file before sending the next request. Because of this serialization, the wireless communication channel may be idle during the response times between the SMB and TCP/IP layers on both sides of the transaction. Furthermore, because the underlying wireless communication channel is a time division multiple access (TDMA)-based architecture, any delay in these responses can cause the transmitting device to miss its allocated slot time and, hence, result in increased latency. Thus, it would be desirable to have a mechanism for avoiding such latencies in a wireless communication scheme for a computer network.
In one embodiment, transmissions within a communication channel utilized by devices of a computer network that are outside of a device's designated time slot are accommodated through the use of a clear channel assessment time. The clear channel assessment time takes into account the device's designated transmission time slot within the communication channel with respect to those of other network devices. Thus, the clear channel assessment time may be a time period that is the product of a predetermined clear channel waiting time and a numerical representation of the difference between the device's designated transmission time slot within the communication channel and that of another network device that completed a preceding transmission. The clear channel waiting time may be specified by a network master device as part of a network connection process and the transmissions within the channel outside of a device's designated time slot may be accommodated after all regularly scheduled transmissions within the channel during a network frame period have been completed.
In another embodiment a clear channel assessment that takes into account a first device's designated transmission time slot within a communication channel with respect to those of other network devices in order to determine idle times that exist after completion of regularly scheduled transmissions within the communication channel is provided. The first device may transmit within the common communication channel upon an indication that the channel is available for transmission. Such indication is preferably made upon the expiration of a time period that is the product of a predetermined clear channel waiting time and a numerical representation of the difference between the first device's designated transmission time slot within the communication channel with respect to that of another network device. This predetermined clear channel waiting time may be designated by a network master device upon a connection thereto by the first device.
In still another embodiment, a network client having a clear channel assessment indicator and being configured to transmit within a communication channel of a computer network at a time determined in part by a notification from the clear channel assessment indicator and in part by transmission characteristics of other devices transmitting within the channel is provided. These transmission characteristics may include a numerical difference between a designated transmission slot for the network client and that of at least one of the other devices. In some cases, the channel is a time division multiplexed wireless communication channel.
In a further embodiment, a scheme for negotiating a transmission time in a time division multiplexed communication channel according to a heed to transmit asynchronous data within idle times of a transmission frame period is provided. According to such a scheme, transmissions of asynchronous data within the idle times are scheduled by devices utilizing the communication channel according to a clear channel assessment time and transmission characteristics, for example designated transmission time slots within the transmission frame period, of other devices transmitting within the channel.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from a review of the detailed description and its accompanying drawings that follow.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which:
Described herein is a scheme for avoiding latencies in asynchronous communications within a wireless communication channel of a computer network. The present scheme is generally applicable to a variety of network environments, but finds especially useful application in a wireless computer network which is located in a home environment. Thus, the present scheme will be discussed with reference to the particular aspects of a home environment. However, this discussion should in no way be seen to limit the applicability or use of the present invention in and to other network environments and the broader spirit and scope of the present invention is recited in the claims which follow this discussion.
One important term used throughout the following discussion is "channel". As indicated above, a channel is defined as the combination of a transmission frequency (more properly a transmission frequency band) and a pseudo-random (PN) code used in a spread spectrum communication scheme. In general, a number of available frequencies and PN codes may provide a number of available channels within a subnet. Network masters and clients are capable of searching through the available channels to find a desirable channel over which to communicate with one another. Table 1 below illustrates an exemplary channel plan according to this scheme.
TABLE 1 Available Available PN Codes Frequency Bands PN Code 1 PN Code 2 . . . PN Code n Frequency Band 1 Channel 11 Channel 12 . . . Channel 1n Frequency Band 2 Channel 21 Channel 22 . . . Channel 2n . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Frequency Band N Channel N1 Channel N2 . . . Channel Nn
In one embodiment, a channel plan using two frequency bands is adopted and details of channel selection within such a scheme is discussed in greater in the above-cited co-pending application.
As explained in greater detail in the above-cited co-pending application, when a client device 16 joins a subnet, the client receives a Connection Agreements (CAG) package from the network master device (e.g., server 12). This package includes, among other things, information regarding the forward and backward bandwidth (e.g., the slots of the channel) to which the new client 16 is entitled. In addition, the maximum number of bytes the new client 16 can send/expect in each data packet is set for each type of packet (e.g., video data, audio data, etc.). The Connection Agreements package may also contain information regarding the total number of data frames that the new client 16 needs to wait (i.e., before transmitting its traffic) from the start of server's transmission and the identification of the preceding client (i.e., the client that owns the preceding reverse transmission slot). The client is also assigned a unique session identifier (CS-ID).
In addition to receiving its unique CS-ID, each client is also provided (either as part of the Connections Agreement package or in another client-master exchange) with the CS-ID of the last device to transmit within a network frame 52 (i.e., the unique identifier of the last device that has an allocated time slot for transmission in the TDMA architecture of the channel). This allows each client to identify any idle times at the end of a network frame. By knowing when these idle periods commence, clients are able to take advantage of available, but otherwise unused, channel bandwidth for asynchronous data transmissions. Such idle times may appear for a variety of reasons, for example, some devices in the subnet 10 may not always make full use of their available transmission times. Also, the entire network frame period may be more than is needed to accommodate existing devices within the subnet 10, thus providing excess time at the end of such a period.
After receiving the Connection Agreements packet, the client 16 configures itself to transmit its data in its assigned time slot (e.g., B1, B2, etc.) and waits for that slot to come around. At the designated time slot, the client 16 may initiate normal communications with the server 12 and transmit any data or commands it may have. In order to help maintain proper time slot synchronization, part of this configuration process may involve programming an accurate slot timer (AST).
In conjunction with the use of an AST 54, a client 16 may also incorporate an early trigger timer (ETT) 55 to ensure that packets are ready for transmission within the subnet when the client's transmission slot arrives. That is, an ETT 55 may be used to advance the internal construction of a packet or packets for transmission, with the goal being to have those packets assembled and ready for transmission when the client's transmission slot becomes available. Thus the ETT 55 (which may be implemented as a conventional timer) triggers the process of formation of packets and their error protection bits, etc., using a packet construction engine 56 (which in some cases may be a part of client 16 or in other cases may be a part of radio 14) to keep a few packets, at least, prepared before the actual start of transmission. For example, in one embodiment packets could be assembled and stored for transmission one network frame in advance of their actual transmission. Such preassembly is helpful in avoiding the idle times on the channel when the first few packets for a transmission sequence are being formed. Although collecting data for one network frame in advance of transmission may penalize the system with a one network frame latency at the first transmission slot, it is expected that this period can be reduced to a few milliseconds.
As indicated above, each client 16 may be required to keep track of the present client occupying the channel, thereby trying to detect its immediately preceding client in line. If the channel is quiet, the current client waits for a predetermined length of time before starting its own transmission. In one embodiment, the length of this waiting time depends on the quiet time threshold allowed between two clients (termed the clear channel assessment or CCA time) and the number of clients yet to transmit before the current client. For example, the waiting time may be the product of the CCA threshold and the number of devices yet to transmit. This waiting time calculation thus makes use of the order of transmission that is established during the connection setup. The only exception to the quiet time is the Q slot, when all on-line clients 16 should refrain from transmitting.
As indicated, a CCA transmission (i.e., a client's transmission based on a waiting period timeout) is essentially the result of a decision made by the client that the channel is free and hence is suitable for transmission. Each client device keeps track of how many devices have completed the transmission from the time the network master completed its transmission. This can be done using a counter that is incremented each time a client transmission is detected and the implementation of such counters is well known in the art. Then, by knowing the index of its own position in the network frame (a value received from the network master at the time a connection is established), each client device can determine when to initiate a CCA transmission. This is best illustrated with an example.
Each client device may program an associated CCA timer 57 (see
Note that in the above example, the 3rd device in line will also have detected the absence of the second device's transmission and may therefore immediately start its own transmission if indeed it has traffic to send. In other words, the 3rd device's waiting period is only one CCA timeout from the absence of the 2nd device's transmissions, while that of the 5th device is three CCA timeout periods. Similarly, the 4th device in line is two CCA timeout periods away from the second device. This use of the client slot assignments in determining when CCA transmissions may be initiated allows the client devices to maintain their relative sequence with one another within the slotted link structure of the communication channel.
The CCA timeout period may also be used to detect idle times at the end of a network frame 52. For example, by knowing the CS-ID of the last device to transmit within the TDMA architecture, all clients 16 can determine when the idle time commences by monitoring the transmission of the client that is last in line. All clients 16 in the subnet 10 can then estimate the duration of the idle time after the last-in-line client has completed its transmission (by knowing the total available time for a network frame, which as indicated above, has a fixed duration). By sharing this available idle time amongst themselves, the clients 16 of the subnet 10 can provide for asynchronous data transmissions in the subnet 10. Of course, other methods of detecting idle times may be used.
The idle time "sharing" plan between the clients makes use of the CCA in that each client waits a time Tidle=TCCA*C (microseconds) before transmitting a packet in the idle time. TCCA may be the standard CCA time for a regular transmission and C may be determined as the difference between the transmission slot number of the current client and that of the client from which the immediately preceeding packet was received (or monitored). If the master device has any asynchronous data to transmit, it may use C=1 and begin its transmission from the time of the end of the transmission of the last-in-line client.
In order to provide a somewhat fair allocation scheme, in one embodiment each client is permitted to transmit only one packet in the idle time at the end of a network frame 52. This allows the devices in subnet 10 to take turns transmitting asynchronous (e.g., low priority) data over the channel. This protocol may be abandoned and a transmission commenced if a packet from a previous client is detected in the idle time and there is sufficient time in the idle period for a packet transmission. However, before any transmission in the idle time occurs, a device wishing to send data should allow sufficient time for the Q slot before the commencement of the next network frame.
Within the present scheme, there are some idle-time transmission situations that warrant further discussion. For example, consider the situation of a short idle time. Because the time at which a device may transmit in the idle time is determined by transmission slot number (C), it is possible that only a subset of the total number of network devices get the opportunity to make use of the idle time in each network frame period. To make idle time allocation more fair, the present scheme allows devices in a subnet 10 to request reallocation of its transmission slot by sending such a request to the network master. Thus, if a client determines that it has a significant amount of asynchronous traffic to send but that it is unable to do so because of its transmission slot number, that client can request a new transmission slot, earlier in a network frame period, so as to have a better chance of making use of the idle time at the end of the frame.
If a device wishes to transmit multiple packets within the idle time of a single network frame, a two-step process may be invoked. First, the device transmits an initial packet in its regular space in the idle time, determined according to the above protocol. Then, the device may reprogram its Tidle time such that Tidle=TCCA*N, where N is the total number of devices (including the master) in the subnet 10. The next idle time transmission for the subject device can then occur at this new Tidle time, provided sufficient time remains before the Q slot. If a packet from another device is received before this new Tidle time expires, the CCA may be reprogrammed to the time between the device's transmission and the reception of the newly received packet. This helps assure an equal opportunity for all devices in the subnet 10 to use the idle time for transmission of asynchronous data.
When a subnet 10 is sharing a channel with one or more overlapping subnets, the start and end of each subnet's transmission periods should be strictly limited to a time duration within each network frame 52. If there are idle times within such a duration, the devices in the subnets may make use of the time in the manner described above, however, such transmissions should not exceed the time duration of their respective subnet's transmission window.
During channel change situations (described in detail in the above-cited co-pending application), client devices are prohibited from transmitting until permitted to do so by the master device or certain time outs. This protocol should be strictly observed and idle time transmissions halted during such periods so that there is no loss of data within the subnet 10.
Packet size will play a role in determining how many devices are afforded the opportunity to transmit within an idle time. That is, even if a device's time for transmission in an idle time has arrived, that device should not transmit if it detects an ongoing transmission of another device. Also, devices sending smaller packets during an idle time may be benefited to a lesser extent than those transmitting larger packets, as a device is only (usually) able to transmit one packet per idle time. To balance this equation, and reduce the potential for collisions within an idle time, one embodiment of the present scheme restricts devices to a predetermined time duration for any such transmissions. In other words, only packets up to a predetermined size are eligible for transmission in an idle time.
Thus, a scheme for synchronizing communications within a computer network communication channel has been described. Although discussed with reference to certain illustrated embodiments, the present invention should not be limited thereby. Instead, the present invention should only be measured in terms of the claims that follow.

- For the place in Turkey, see Şarköy.
The Sarkoy are the people of the planet Sarkovy, featured in Star King and The Palace of Love, two of the Demon Princes novels of Jack Vance. Sarkoy mainly inhabit the steppes of their somewhat bleak and unforgiving planet.
Habits and customs[edit]
Sarkoy have a highly formalised and structured society and place great value upon etiquette. A breach of certain manners may earn a death sentence; "dishonouring a fetish" is one such crime and "throwing sour milk upon his grandmother" is another (both offences quoted in The Palace of Love). The cruelty of the Sarkoy can be judged by the popularity of the sport of harbite, in which the harikap, a semi-intelligent animal, is tormented to death in a number of imaginative ways including being set on fire. (When Kirth Gersen ironically enquires of Sivij Suthiro what the Sarkoy will do for entertainment when they have exterminated the harikap, Suthiro responds blandly that they always have each other.)
The Sarkoy poisoners[edit]
Their most notable characteristic is that practically every inhabitant of the planet is skilled to a greater or lesser degree in the art of assassination by poison. An adept of this art is known as a venefice and it is rumoured that a Master Venefice can kill his quarry merely by walking past him. This may be an exaggeration, but perhaps not a flagrant one. Many venefices pride themselves on their ability to develop poisons out of substances previously considered harmless, and an expert can transmit toxins or plague germs on contact, even a contact so slight as to go unnoticed. A skilled venefice typically keeps his fingernails hardened and sharpened such that they can cut paper at a touch (in order to deliver subcutaneous poison); a still more skilled practitioner can poison one merely by passing him paper to show off this 'paper trick'.
In The Palace of Love Master Edelrod explains to Kirth Gersen that to avoid this fate a venefice will try to acquire immunity to the poisons that may be used against him and also exercises great caution in all his personal dealings (going so far as pre-emptively poisoning any rivals). In this way he will "live to become an old man" (a Sarkoy expression).
A trade Guild exists to regulate the trafficking of poisons and act as a professional body for the venefices. Breaking its rules is a serious matter and the offender may be sentenced to "cooperate" with the Guild, whereby other Guild members test new poisons upon the unfortunate (see The Palace of Love for an example: the offender had sold fixed-rate poison at a discount).
Referred to several times in the series, the poisonous or infective agent known as cluthe is one of the most famous and dreaded substances at the venefice's disposal. Tristano the Earthman, when beaten by Gersen in a fight, is willing to stand physical torture and permanent maiming and disfigurement rather than spill secrets and be put to death by cluthe (as Suthiro would be ordered to kill him). Other opponents whom Gersen encounters readily agree to inform on their employer merely on the understanding that Gersen will kill them by shooting rather than by cluthe.
It is not quite consistent in either its application or its effects on the two occasions that Gersen himself uses it; in Star King, Gersen induces Suthiro to accept a piece of paper from him and uses the opportunity to infect him with cluthe (whether by an imperceptible touch of his own or by contaminating the paper is not clear), whereas in The Face, he kills Lens Larque by slapping him with a cluthe-laced glove. Larque dies within minutes, racked by hideous internal and external convulsions, whereas Suthiro exhibits no effects whatever until meeting Gersen a day later, though his exceedingly rapid decline thereafter suggests that he had failed to notice that he was ill, possibly on account of his arrogant assumption that no-one could have poisoned him.
While visiting Sarkovy in The Palace of Love, Gersen is advised to restock his supplies of cluthe, as when not fresh it is merely debilitating or even inconveniencing and not fatal.
Other poisons mentioned include alpha, beta, black-tox, furux, mervan, tox meratis, twitus, ulgar, and vole.
Sarkoy generally worship Godogma, who carries a flower and a flail and walks on wheels. Evidently he is viewed as one who gathers the souls of the dead, and the Sarkoy view death with apparent fatalism; however, when Kirth Gersen remarks to Suthiro that "One never likes to hasten Godogma", Suthiro agrees and remarks that on Sarkoy there are a thousand popular aphorisms to this effect.
Gersen's association with the Sarkoy[edit]
During a visit to the planet, Gersen displays a familiarity with and tolerant acceptance of Sarkovy's unlovely customs. He also has friends in high places, as the mere mention of a venefice named Coudirou is enough to open doors for him. Most probably this is because Coudirou is enough of a master of his craft to kill anyone who crosses him, and the other Sarkoy naturally assume that Gersen would never dare to drop his name casually unless he really did know him well. The previous mention of Coudirou in Star King implied that Gersen was at some point a student of his, and Gersen himself is no slouch as a poisoner.

NICK WITTMER, ALEX HEALY AND BENJAMIN DISTAULO TO WEAR LOMBARDI COLOURS IN CANADIAN TOURING CAR Montreal, January 6, 2010.- Today the Lombardi Honda Racing Team, victorious in the 2009 Canadian Touring Car Championship, announced its new...
Montreal, January 6, 2010.- Today the Lombardi Honda Racing Team, victorious in the 2009 Canadian Touring Car Championship, announced its new line-up of drivers to sport their colours throughout the 2010 season at the helm of their Super Touring Honda Civic Si's. Champion driver Nick Wittmer will be joined by Ontarian Alex Healy and Quebecker Benjamin Distaulo.
Last year's Canadian Touring Car Champions, after multiple titles in Honda's one-make series, The Lombardi Honda Racing Team is not leaving anything to chance with their selection of an experienced and talented driver line-up, as explained by Tony Lombardi, team owner: "I am very happy with our choice of drivers for 2010. They all have the potential to win races and the title" he declares, "We wanted three drivers that would battle during every lap to ensure our colours would triumph and that's exactly what we have with -- in order of car number - Nick, Alex, and Benjamin" he adds.
In his number 1 Civic Si, Montrealer Nick Wittmer intends to do everything possible to maintain his crown : "I'm really looking forward to the start of the season and defending my title this year. I have full confidence that we will once again have very competitive equipment; our Civics are built with stock parts and truly respect the philosophy behind Touring Car racing. Winning races and taking home the championship is my goal" explains Nick.
Another driver with immense talent is Ottawa's young Alex Healy, who joins the team for the 2010 season. Multi-time karting champion, Alex claimed three podiums in five starts during his Touring Car debut in 2008. Last year he earned ten "Top Ten" finishes in sixteen attempts and was named Rookie of the Year. Alex Healy, 20, is without a doubt one of the most promising Canadian drivers. He does not hide his enthusiasm upon joining the Lombardi Honda Racing Team : " I am ecstatic to be a part of the Lombardi team, it's a dream come true. The entire team is fantastic, they gave me a lot of parts and advice last year, even if I was a competitor" explains Alex. He adds : "I am really excited to team up with Ben (Distaulo) and Nick (Wittmer), who are both excellent drivers. My main goal is to win the championship, while learning and helping Lombardi achieve the best results possible". Alex Healy will compete with the number 5 on his Civic Si.
Former open-wheel (F1600, Atlantic) driver Benjamin Distaulo also joins the Lombardi Honda Racing team after several successful seasons in the Toyota Cup and one learning season with his own Honda Civic in the Canadian Touring Class Championship. For the driver from Ville Lorraine, joining the Lombardi team is also a dream come true : "I am very proud to have been selected by Tony Lombardi to drive one of his cars. I feel honoured to be part of this legendary team" indicates Distaulo, "I'm sure that I will always have the best car. This is the biggest opportunity in my career -- I am part of a top race team with a car that can win" adds the Quebec driver, whose Civic Si will don the number 6.
The 2010 Canadian Touring Car Championship season will start in May at Mosport in Ontario. The series will also return to several high profile Canadian motorsports events including the Toronto Honda Indy GP, The Grand-Prix de Trois-Rivières, and perhaps Montreal's Grand Prix of Canada in June.
Lombardi Honda will contest all of the 2010 events. Information concerning dealers is available on the website www.lombardihonda.com. For more information on the racing team, please visit www.lombardihondaracing.com.

Will Medicare cover oral surgery that is related to diabetes?
Will Medicare cover oral surgery as related to diabetes and dialysis? A diagnosis of low phospheous was given to the patient, which causes bone problems.
Expert Answers
Work by an oral surgeon on jaw or mouth bones will almost certainly be covered by Medicare Part B, whether the oral surgeon is a physician (M.D.) or not. On the other hand, work done solely on the teeth will not.
Medicare considers most work by non-physician oral surgeons as "dental" rather than "medical," and doesn't cover it. But Medicare Part B can cover treatment that involves a problem with bones of the mouth and jaw if it's the kind of treatment that physicians (M.D.s) also perform. This kind of care would be considered "medical" and so would be covered by Medicare Part B even if performed by a non-M.D. oral surgeon.
For Medicare to cover the treatment, the oral surgeon who provides the care must participate in Medicare, and not all oral surgeons do. So, a patient needs to make sure the oral surgeon's office participates in Medicare. Also, it's a good idea to have the oral surgeon's office request in advance that Medicare cover the procedure. Once the doctor's office receives prior approval for Medicare coverage of the oral surgery, the patient can rest assured that the care will be covered.

I took a girl out I've been hanging out with for awhile on our first date. She dressed up really nice- I was stunned by how nice she looked.
At the end of the date I got out of the car to give her a hug like I normally do after hanging out with her, but she kept walking. So we walked to the door together while talking. She didn't turn around to tell me good or anything and instead invited me in. But her dad was right by the door and was not very inviting.. so we went back outside where it was evident I should probably head home.
I gave her a hug (like always) and I was waiting/looking for the right moment to kiss- but she didn't really give me as big a hug as she normally does. I commented on the weak hug and she blamed it on the fact she was holding the door open so the alarm wouldn't lock. She didn't offer a second hug/chance like I had hoped so I told her I had a nice night and made my way to the car. She replied "yeah me too. thanks. I'll see you - well ha actually I don't know when I'll see you again but ill text you"
we went our separate ways and haven't texted since I dropped her off. we don't text much though anyways - we never have. so that doesn't bother me. I'm not sweating every minute waiting for her to text me. I'm not dying to text her either. but I really do genuinely care about her and like her a lot.
i just want to know what some girls opinion on the end of the night are.
Do you think there are sparks or what? Good or bad?
Most Helpful Girl
That does not sound very sparky to me. However, dad's presence could have really thrown her for a loop. It's up to you. You could look at asking her out for another date. Not very promising that she already made a point of saying she doesn't know when she will see you, but, again, maybe it has to do with her dad being there and maybe that she is trying to play it cool with you.00|00|0

COPPERAS COVE — Copperas Cove finally has time to rest, and it is paying off.
After playing 25 matches in 20 days to start the season, including a stretch of nine matches in three days at the recent Volleypalooza tournament, the Lady Bulldawgs are adjusting to a schedule with weekly games set for every Tuesday and Friday.
The most significant benefit from the schedule is it allows head coach Cari Lowery an overdue opportunity to get in some practice time, particularly with her younger players, but equally important to the coach is it provides periods of rest.
"It lets us do some fine tuning, like with Bryaunea Hall, for instance," Lowery said. "Because this is just her second season to play, she needs lots and lots of repetitions and because half the time she is a basketball player, I don't get her all year long. Lots of those girls, I have them all year long, so they get lots of reps, and she hasn't had the benefit of that
"Plus, they are getting a little bit of recovery time. Their legs are getting rested, and my legs are getting rested too. And my brain is getting rested."
The Lady Bulldawgs and their coach certainly appeared mentally and physically prepared against Shoemaker on Tuesday, defeating the Lady Grey Wolves in three sets, 25-10, 25-10, 25-10, and improving to 2-0 in District 8-5A.
Led by Hall's eight kills and team-high three blocks, Copperas Cove was never threatened as it used long runs in each set to propel itself to victory.
In the opening set, the Lady Bulldawgs (22-6, 2-0 overall) held a narrow 5-4 advantage before scoring 10 unanswered points with Qiana Canete serving for nine of them. Shoemaker (11-9, 0-2) responded with a 4-0 run, but Copperas Cove used a 10-2 outburst, including three aces from setter Arielle Garica, to secure a 2-0 lead.
The Lady Bulldawgs then won 12 of the last 13 points in the second set, including the final nine points, to pull away after leading by four points at 13-9.
Senior libero Jessica Vick recorded consecutive aces to help start the run, while Garcia set up Canete for a pair of kills sandwiched around a kill by Mikayla Blount to cap it off.
Canete finished with team-highs in kills (10) and aces (4), while Garcia posted 30 assists.
Copperas Cove opened the third set on a 14-4 run before winning nine of the final 12 points to clinch the district victory.
Like her coach, Brittney Johnson, who led the Copperas Cove with 15 digs, believes the less frenetic schedule is helping the younger players reach their full potential.
"They are getting much better by just practicing with us," the senior said. "They hit harder, they read hitters better, they play defense better and it is really good for them."
Blount, a sophomore, who has been forced to do a lot of learning on the court this season, also agrees.
"It makes it a lot easier because I know I can mess up in practice and fix it," she said, "and then know I can do it (correctly) in a game."

What is a magnet?
A magnet is a object which produces a magnetic field. Normally, the magnet attracts ferromagnetic objects such as iron and nickel. There is a type of magnet called a permanent magnet, which never loses their magnetism. Objects can be magnetized or demagnetized.
Uses of magnets
Compass : The magnetized pointer of a compass aligns itself with a magnetic field. Due to the Earth's magnetic field, we can use this to know which way is North, West, East or South.
Magnets can also be used to separate specific types of metals from other objects, elements. For example, finding a needle in a haystack will be much easier if one uses a magnet.
Magnetic metals
Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic because they have strong magnetic moments.

Hello Steve, you just found out about the ivy task deliver. This task prepares the ivy.xml which gets published. this is a snip from a build file of mine : <mkdir dir="delivery"/> <ivy:deliver deliverpattern="delivery/ivy.xml" pubrevision="${revision}" /> <ivy:publish artifactspattern="${websphere.lib.dir}/[artifact].[ext]" srcivypattern="delivery/ivy.xml" resolver="thirdparty" pubrevision="${revision}" status="release" overwrite="true" /> so I explicitly invoke this ivy:deliver task and feed the location of the ivy file that deliver generates in the srcivypattern attribute of ivy:publish. When you do not use the srcivypattern attribute, ivy:publish delegates to ivy:deliver. The generated ivy file seems to go to the directory of the artifact that you publish. bonjour de la grande pomme, Antoine -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 12:24:49 +0000 Von: Steve Loughran <firstname.lastname@example.com> An: email@example.com Betreff: Re: publishing war files > > No, I fixed it.

If ever there was a website that was totally honest about what they are, it is Eco Cigs. A simple web design for a simple site. They aim to sell people on the economy products within the electronic cigarette market. It is not the biggest selection of products but there is a market for it and they have found it.
The Eco Cig Electronic Cigarette
They only sell the cig-a-like design of electronic cigarette and they sell disposables and rechargeables. Eco Cigs is a place for people who know what they want. It is for people who know they want the economy e-cig. That is all fine and dandy, however in my opinion it is a bit difficult to get an economy deal when ordering online most times.
Sure, the prices for a single disposable pack of e-cigs might be cheap, but what are you paying once you add the shipping in? I can promise you that it will be more than what you will pay at teh gas station or corner store in your neighborhood.
A Swing and Miss
Far be it for me to criticize anybody who has the guts to start a business of their own. I just do not see the logic in a webstore such as this. In the e-cig community there is a healthy dislike for cheap disposables. This is the case because they do not work as they should.
The rechargeables are okay, but they are no better than just okay. Again, this is a case of paying more than you would typically need to because of shipping costs. They also sell some accessories but they are limited to covering the products they sell only, which is not much.
A Different Perspective
Eco Cigs has a good plan, if they were a brick and mortar type of store. Their model just does not work. It has come to my attention however as I was looking through some things on their site, that they know the "economy" e-cig does not work in principle online. Because of this they have taken a different approach.
Instead of trying to push the "economy" of their product versus others on the market, they are pushing the "we are cheaper than tobacco" angle. The problem is that we all know this already. This is why we have all chosen e-cigs in the first place, or at least one of the reasons. So they are not telling us anything new.
The Overall Impression
With Eco Cigs I get what they are trying to do. I get that they are trying to work the "savings" angle. Like I said, had this been a physical location I think it would work. They could even expand their product base if that was the case. Unfortunately it is not the case.
They are an online retailer of electronic cigarettes and in that market their "cheap", "economy" e-cigs are just looked at as cheap versions of what people are already using. The disposables they sell are the same as everyone else and their rechargeables are just the same. There is just absolutely nothing about this store that stands out or saves anybody money. Except for maybe not making a purchase on their site.

A parody of the children's book 'Pat the Bunny'... this is for adults. If you have that husband or know of someone who does (because we all at least know of one) that can never find the remote, can never seem to locate anything even though they are told explicit instructions as to where it is... who always claims to be 'sick'... etc. then this book is for you! Very funny and entertaining to pass around when there's company - always good for a few laughs!

Final Fantasy XIV and thought that they looked like a place you want to be in real life? Good news: You can. A new real-world themed restaurant in Tokyo called the Eorzea Cafe is opening soon, and it's based on the Carline Canopy in Gridania, complete with Eorzean dishes, beverages, and decorations. If you ever wanted to see a bladed lantern shield on the wall whilst you have your dinner, this is the place.
Opening on July 31st, the cafe features drinks inspired by the jobs, moogle-themed desserts, and what appears to be a burger based on the Lord of the Crags himself, Titan. There are also PCs set up for people to play the game at their leisure. It's going to be a bit of a hike out to the Akihibara district, but where else are you going to find a Titan Burger while drinking a Dragoon cocktail?
[Thanks to Kythas for the tip!]

The Oxford Lions Club is hosting its first golf tournament, "Swinging for Sight" on March 26 at the Oaks Golf Course. The entry fee of $75 for each player includes green fee, cart, lunch, beverages and prizes. There is a $10,000 prize for a hole-in-one on a par 3 hole. Lunch and registration begin at 11:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. All of the proceeds from the event will raise funds for sight-related charities supported by the club.
Sight preservation has been a major emphasis of Lion Clubs International since Helen Keller requested that they become "Knights of the Blind" in the 1920s. The Oxford Lions have supported sight projects since their club was chartered in 1951. Currently, they continue to collect glasses for recycling, provide eye exams and glasses for both children and adults in financial need, provide vision screening at community events and raise funds for other sight projects. The Georgia Lions Lighthouse and the Georgia Lions Camp for the Blind are supported by Lions in Georgia and provide services to thousands of Georgians. The Lighthouse alone provided more than $70,000 worth of services to citizens of Newton County last year mainly through eye surgeries. The Camp for the Blind in Waycross is a wonderful opportunity for both children and adults who are visually impaired to experience the independence and adventures of a camp setting taken for granted by those with sight. All of the sight projects The Lions support can provide life-changing benefits to those who need them.
The Oxford Lions have raised funds for these and other community projects over the years with mop and broom sales, calendar and cookbook sales and their annual Pancake Supper (Feb. 26).
The Oxford Lions are planning a day of fun and prizes and need participants and sponsors to sign up before March 1. Call Todd Sherman at (770) 500-6552 or Nancy Henderson at (770) 786-4896.

Headquarters in New Jersey Yesterday, to Discuss Procurement and Installation of Coates CSRV Industrial Electric Power Generators at US Army Bases
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J., May 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coates International, Ltd. (OTC PINK:COTE) (the "Company") on May 2, 2017, a meeting was held at the Coates International, Ltd. headquarters in New Jersey with two officials from the Pentagon ACSIM-ODF US Army to discuss the use of Coates CSRV industrial electric power generators operating on natural gas for deployment at US Army bases.
Company President and CEO, Mr. George J. Coates, comments: "This was a very important meeting for the Company. A number of Coates CSRV industrial natural gas electric power generator types were demonstrated, including a propane unit and various gasoline engines. At the conclusion of the meeting, the parties agreed that it was productive and positive. The representatives were presented with manuals, official test data and informative DVDs. A transaction of this magnitude represents a significant opportunity for our Company. The requisite technology and know-how is already in place. All products for this application will be manufactured in the USA.
Company management is enthusiastic about the extent of this potential project to deploy our CSRV natural gas Gen Sets at US Army bases. Our Gen Sets lower harmful emissions into the atmosphere, reduce costs and utilize fuel that is readily available in vast quantities through the United States, including "flare-off gas" which is normally wasted because it is not suitable for powering conventional internal combustion engines."
04/19/2017- Coates International, Ltd. Received Official Notification From Secure Supplies Mexico LLC That the Solar System Project in Mexico is Budgeted for $412,000,000 USD Over a Three Year Period to Completion - Coates International, Ltd. is to Manufacture and Deliver a Number of Large Industrial CSRV Electric Power Generators That Will Operate on Hydrogen - on Site Revenues From This Transaction to the Company Will be Approximately $40,000,000 USD
Coates International, Ltd. (OTC PINK:COTE) (the "Company") recceived official notification from Secure Supplies Mexico LLC that the solar system project in Mexico is budgeted for $412,000,000 USD over a three year period. The Company will deliver 40 to 50 CSRV large industrial electric power generators to operate on gaseous hydrogen produced on site.
Company President and CEO, Mr. George J. Coates, comments: "This is only one of the projects that our Company is involved in with Secure Supplies. These projects work in the following way: Secure Supplies set out on the site where hundreds of solar panels are erected producing electric power and producing hydrogen, which is stored in special expansion tanks. When the sun goes down, the Coates CSRV electric power generators fire up operating on the stored hydrogen, which is produced by the sun. These CSRV generators are synchronous and only produce the power required at any given time up to 50 M.W. These are the most "green" projects ever. These projects are many worldwide. Coates CSRV engines are the only engine suitable to operate on gaseous hydrogen continuously.
"Management believes this is a turning point for the Company that will benefit all involved."
02/28/2017-Coates International, Ltd. Has an Agreement in Place With Secure Supplies USA LLC and Secure Supplies Mexico LLC – Initial Orders Will be for a Project in New Jersey That Will Require 35, 1MW CSRV Hydrogen Powered Industrial Gen Sets and a Project in Mexico That Will Require 40, 1 MW CSRV Hydrogen Powered Industrial Gen Sets - Estimated Value of These Projects is $35,000,000 in New Jersey and $40,000,000 in Mexico for a Total Value to Coates of $75,000,000
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J., Feb. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coates International, Ltd. (OTC PINK:COTE) (the "Company") has previously entered into a sublicense agreement with Secure Supplies USA LLC and Secure Supplies Mexico LLC (together "Secure Supplies"). In addition to a $1 million licensing fee to be paid upfront, the Company will also fulfill orders to manufacture and deliver 35 1MW CSRV Hydrogen Powered Industrial Electric Power Generator Sets ("Hydrogen Gen Sets") for the project in New Jersey and 40 1MW CSRV Hydrogen Gen Sets for Mexico. Secure Supplies has informed the Company that it anticipates receiving funding from its customers to enable it to remit payments to us for the sublicense fee and deposits for 50% of the order value to be paid with orders it intends to place, beginning in March 2017.
Company President and CEO, Mr. George J. Coates, comments:
- "An initial 1MW V12 Industrial engine from Cummins is already en route to the Coates facility in New Jersey for development of the Hydrogen Gen Sets for this larger engine specification;
- The Company has already built a 150 KW CSRV Gen Set for Secure Supplies to be used for demonstration and testing;
- The Company is in ongoing discussions with other potential new customers. We were disappointed to learn that a number of people directly contacted Secure Supplies after we disclosed the news of our new sublicense. This is inappropriate and interferes in our relationship with Secure Supplies. Our business partners are intensely focused on successfully carrying out their own business plans, which did not include responding to such multiple inquiries. Exercising discretion in this regard is of great importance for everyone.
- To date, we have not received the proposals from China for manufacturing operations that were previously promised to be submitted to us for review;
- Mr. Nick Kontonicolas has not been able to secure financing for production operations to date. While this has been disappointing, we have never exclusively relied on this financing and are continuing to work on alternative sources of financing. Accordingly, the Company expects to be able to continue to pursue its business plans;
- The Company is planning expansion of its manufacturing capacity on readily available space on its own property in anticipation of the need to fulfill orders to be received from Secure Supplies.
- We have received inquiries about the relatively small staff at the Coates plant. Our research and development activities involve scientific, proprietary technology and we prefer to limit accessibility until development of the technology reaches a stage where it can be patented. This is also a component of our strategy to preserve our working capital.
- The Company continues to press ahead with its endeavors and business plans."
11/30/2016-Ctes Intoaernational, Ltd. Lands a $400,000,000 USD Transaction With Secure Supplies Mexico LLC and Secure Supplies USA LLC to Exclusively License and Supply Coates CSRV "Green Technology" Electric Power Industrial Generator Sets Operating on Hydrogen Fuel,
