great serpent mound - peebles, oh
The Great Serpent Mound is an effigy mound located on the east bluff of Brush Creek in Adams County, Ohio.
It is approximately 1/4 mile long from head to tail, with an average width of 20 ft across and an average height of 4-5 ft. This makes it the largest effigy mound in North America, and the largest serpent effigy in the world.
It is approximately 1/4 mile long from head to tail, with an average width of 20 ft across and an average height of 4-5 ft. This makes it the largest effigy mound in North America, and the largest serpent effigy in the world.
There has been much debate about what the Serpent Mound is meant to represent. Some common assumptions include:
Geological evidence suggests that the mound was built on the site of a cryptoexplosion: the result of underground gas explosions near 200 million years ago that caused rocks to be driven up at least 1000 ft.
Excavations of the mound
Serpent Mound was first excavated by Frederick Ward Putnam from 1886 - 1889. Although he found no cultural evidence within the mound itself, nearby burial mounds exposed artifacts attributed to the Adena culture, which occupied the region between 1000 - 200 BC. It was believed that they were the builders of Serpent Mound until 1996, when it was excavated again.
In 1996, University of Pittsburgh student Robert Fletcher, his friend Terry Cameron, and archaeologists Bradley Lepper and Dee Anne Wymer took samples from the mound which resulted in the finding of charcoal. When this charcoal was radiocarbon dated, it was estimated that the Serpent Mound was actually constructed much later, around 1070 AD, when the Fort Ancient culture occupied the area.
Astronomical alignments
The Serpent Mound aligns with many astronomical events, particularly those surrounding winter and summer solstices, as well as the equinox.
Since the people of the Fort Ancient culture were agriculturalists and relied heavily on the production of maize for subsistence, these alignments and dates were likely of great importance to them in helping them to mark growing and planting seasons.
Theories of its importance
There are many theories surrounding the purpose or importance of Serpent Mound. Unfortunately, since the culture left no written language, and disappeared before European exploration, all theories are merely speculation.
A New Age power center
Some modern theorists claim the Serpent Mound is a "power center" as a "point of astrological harmonic convergence".
Depiction of astronomical events
The creation of the Serpent Mound (1070 AD) aligns with the appearance of Halley's Comet in 1066 AD, as well as the light from the supernova that produced the Crab Nebula reaching the earth in 1054 AD. This light remained visible for 24 hours a day for almost 2 weeks.
Site of the Garden of Eden
At the beginning of the 20th century, a Reverend named Landon West claimed that the serpent represented the serpent eating the fruit from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, and that this site marked the place of the fall of man. He suggests that the serpent was created by God or by people inspired to mark this event.
Representation of the Great Horned Serpent
The Shawnee tribe is thought to be the descendants of the lost Fort Ancient culture. They, among other Mississippian cultures, have stories that tell of the evil Great Horned Serpent who lived in lakes and rivers waiting to eat humans.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says the nuclear deal with Iran is so bad, he is close to wondering whether it was done poorly on purpose.
"It's almost like there has to be something else going on," he said Saturday night at a rally in Biloxi, Miss. "I don't think there is, I just don't think they're competent."
Trump said he couldn't believe the U.S. would agree to a deal with Iran that did not include the return of Americans held prisoner in Iran.
"Who would make that deal?" he asked, suggesting Tehran was celebrating as the agreement was being negotiated.

When it comes to the concept of whether or not one should "buy American" or not to support American workers I say that everyone should buy the quality of product they desire at the best price they can get. If that happens to be an American made product then fine. If it is not then there is nothing wrong with that either.
Cries of carte blache declarations to "buy America" are used, in my opinion, by people who do not want to compete for business or who do not want to think about what they are buying. The former use the "buy American" catchphrase to induce someone to buy something that they might not otherwise buy and benefit themselves out of a sense of patriotism. The later use the same call to just not have to think that much about what they are doing and they just buy whatever has been made in America.
I do believe that all things being equal such as price, quality, etc. that one should support local workers and their fellow countrymen. But if someone else can make a better widget cheaper in a foreign country then so be it. The one thing that has to be understood however is whether or not that item is cheaper because someone found a way to do it cheaper through the entrepreneurial spirit or it has been made cheaper by government subsidy. The later distorts the price and is done to make products more competitive and such products should be avoided if possible.

Hey folks,
Just got back to the abode... and if it weren't for the building in front of me I'd be enjoying a heck of a fireworks display right now. Ah well, I take stock in what I do have, which is quite a lot... Anyway, onto the game.
And it was a beauty, eh? Some good in the first period, although they still finished it down a goal, but from then on out they just controlled in every aspect. This is the type of Stars game we're used to seeing. Great hitting, which took its toll on a New Jersey team that, if it was feeling a bit weary after Tuesday night's game in St. Louis was really tired after that physical contest. Great gritty stuff, and there was Steve Ott getting his nose right in the middle of it. I'll give the guy credit: He can't fight right now, but he'll take shots if necessary. As he put it, "maybe it's better for me if I don't fight." He was getting all the attention from the Devils, and that freed up the top scorers. Not so bad.
Other little tidbits before I get a, uh, beverage:
Loui Eriksson has been the most pleasant surprise of this team. Not that he couldn't do all this good stuff, but did any of us figure we'd see it this soon? He was funny after the game, too, saying he joked with Toby Petersen this morning about his New Year's resolution: "I told him my resolution was I'd have 20 goals by the end of the year." I know he was joking but still... Dec. 31 and here we are. Dave Tippett put it best:
"I don't think too many thought he'd have 20 before the halfway mark, but it's a testament to how hard he's worked." Yes he has. Still is, even if he doesn't have the puck.
Brad Richards has three assists on the evening. He's looking like the player the Stars figured he'd be.
Brian Sutherby was moved up to the line with Richards and Eriksson. Looked good with them. Tippett said it was more for strategic purposes than a demotion for Toby Petersen:
"We were looking for more size on that line. Toby's played well there, but we knew it was going to be a four-line game." And Petersen and fellow fourth-liners Krys Barch and Landon Wilson looked just fine, too. Everybody did, really.
And could Mark Parrish have looked more relieved after he scored that goal? His first since Nov. 15. I asked him about that big exhale he took after he scored. "Was it that obvious?" he said. Nice guy, and maybe it sparks him. Tippett said he's been scoring and all around it in practice. "Maybe it's a sign of a guy being patient and hopefully he gets hot," Tippett said.
OK, kids, I've done my duty for the evening. No practice tomorrow, so I'm celebrating New Year's Day with some golf. And it's resolution time:
So what's everyone's big resolution this year?

Periplasmic space
The periplasmic space is the space seen between the plasma membrane and the outer membrane in the gram-negative bacteria. A very small periplasmic space between the plasma membrane and the peptidoglycan layer (cell wall) may be observed in the gram-positive bacteria (Zuber et al., 2006). The periplasmic space is a lot thicker in Gram negative bacteria. Periplasmic space may be filled with a loose network of peptidoglycan and may constitute up to 40% of the total cell volume. This space is involved in various biochemical pathways including nutrient acquisition, synthesis of peptidoglycan, electron transport, and alteration of substances toxic to the cell. Gram-positive bacteria do not have as many periplasmic proteins compared to the gram-negative bacteria. Instead gram-positive bacteria secrete enzymes which would normally be found in the periplasmic space of the gram-negative bacteria. This secreted enzyme is referred to as an exoenzyme. Substance that occupies the periplasmic space is referred to as a periplasm.
The periplasmic space is of particular clinical importance in that it is the site, in some species, that contains beta-lactamase, an enzyme responsible for degrading the penicillin group of antibiotic drugs, leading to penicillin resistance.

Media Release: A bumper December for Addo Elephant National Park
21 January 2014
Total visitors for December increased from 22 600 in 2012 to 26 680 in 2013 – a whopping 4 080 more people. This means that the Park averaged 860 tourists per day. The increase in visitors also meant an increase in activities – with the Park's game drives section reporting a 28.8 percent increase in income.
Not to forget the increasingly popular southern section at Colchester, Camp Matyholweni's figures show an occupancy increase of eight percent.
Park Manager, Norman Johnson, said, "I would like to thank all the staff who worked over the festive season – those in our Tourism, Technical, Conservation and Administration Departments. It is thanks to them that the Park continued to deliver the good quality service upon which SANParks prides itself".
"A special word of thanks also needs to go our visitors for choosing Addo as their destination of choice. Barring one or two incidents, most of our guests exhibited sterling behaviour by adhering to the park rules," concluded Johnson.

Immediately after the game, the new éS video éSpecial showed. It was great, I'm not going to spoil anything. And they were even giving out free copies right after.
'Round 9 p.m. we hit up the Element Darrell Stanton shoe release party at Bar Basic. Free pizza and drink tickets were in the mix as were a funky photobooth, good music, and a T-shirt screening station. Good sh-t. Before long we had to hit up the Sk8mafia/Wu Tang party to make sure we got in before it hit capacity.
The Sk8mafia party was off the charts. The VIP was packed with homeys and ladies, even Stevie Williams was up in there. GZA and Raekwon took the stage after Supernatural warmed up the crowd. Felix Arguelles remained on stage throughout the performance as well. Rae and his homeys, decked out in Chargers gear, took the party late into the evening until the club's staff had to kick us all out. Then, sure enough, the Sk8mafia hotel room hosted the afterparty that raged until sunup. Another ASR weekend in the books.

Legal Question in Personal Injury in Nevada
My spouse is getting an award check from an accident he was in four years ago. We are still married and have no plans on devorce but i think he''s going to run with the money. I have done all the leg work for this case from the start. My husband has never done one thing ! Ive done all papaer work keep records sent by mail ,fax and drove from Vegas to Ontario to hand delever doc's to lawyer. I was even ask if we would settle the case for $1,500.00!!! Am I intiteld to any of it?
1 Answer from Attorneys
There really are only two specific exceptions to the presumption under Nevada law that all assets acquired during marriage are community property (owned jointly by both spouses). One is gift/inheritance and the other is the proceeds of a personal injury suit. Now, if you were also named as a Plaintiff in the suit for your husband's accident, the rules change a bit. In that case, all damages awarded for medical expenses and other costs incurred by the community are presumed to be community assets. In either case, though, the damages for pain and suffering and other such intangibles are your husband's separate property and he is generally entitled to do with them as he wishes.
A further exception may exist if your husband treats the proceeds as though they belong to you both equally. For example, if the money is deposited into a joint checking account ("commingled") and you both begin to use it for such things as rent and groceries for you both, he may be deemed to have made a gift to the community and it might have to be divided in the case of a divorce. If the cash is used to purchase a new asset (say, a new truck), that asset is likely to be adjudged to be his, alone, and you would not normally share in that particular piece of property in a divorce decree.

Manny also gets a deal where he usually gets a guarantee .... YES that is also relevant to how big that fight is ... BUT he also gets a piece of the PPV money and whatever else is in his contract. So the deal is less on the back end ...
in fact it would be 0 if he agreed with Floyd!!!
that is laughable to think that is what Manny should get.
You seem to be saying Floyd should get whatever he wants because he has a deal with GB and Al Haymon and it doesn't matter that Manny has his own deal where he gets more than the guaranteed up front money.
As far as Oscar vs Manny most thought Oscar was going to win. You are trying to change history here. Imagine Arum was going to let GB beat his top fighter. Just having GB get that chance shoots down the point that Arum doesn't let his fighters fight outside his stable. No pivot here. Just trying to prove to you that Arum does let his top fighters fight outside his stable and where there is a good chance that they would lose. So it didn't matter if Cotto was with or not with Arum.
Cotto vs Floyd was just a pay day for Floyd ...

At first it's a little confusing: did someone set the camera down in front of a seagull, or … yeah, what happened?
The most generic birds (seagulls, crows, robins) are usually the smartest, and the thievingest (totally a word).

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 18 (UPI) -- A Turkish hacker has issued an apology after crashing Google's app publishing system for Android smartphones.
Google's Play Store was made inaccessible to application developers Sunday and then again on Monday, CNNMoney reported.
Developers were blocked from uploading apps to the store, making new apps and updates unavailable for Android users.
Ibrahim Balic, a Turkish hacker, claimed responsibility for the incident, saying he found a vulnerability in Google's Developer Console.
Balic said after finding the weak spot, he developed an app to try and exploit it, but he expected the app to fail. However, he ended up knocking everyone offline.
"I didn't have any malicious aim," he told CNNMoney. "I am so sorry for this damage."
"I just wanted to be sure about [the] vulnerability," Balic said.
Balic said he notified Google but has yet to hear back. Google has not commented on the incident.

On issues like corruption, incompetence, flagrant violation of rules, defiance of the Supreme Court and standing firm against a contempt of court conviction, the polity of Pakistan is divided between those who are in support of the Gilani government and those who are against it. One specific trait of our social and political culture is partisanship — a cleric, a feudal lord, a tribal chief or a caste leader is never wrong, he is always right. Similarly, we see some prominent lawyers and commentators in the media, linked through a system of visible and invisible patronage of the state, waxing eloquent to prove that the prime minister is right and that the Supreme Court is overstepping its mandate. On the other hand, opponents of the regime, mainly the PML-N and the PTI stridently argue that he is a convict and he doesn't have any legal standing anymore to continue as prime minister.
Before I explain why Gilani must go, I would like to concur with two arguments presented by his supporters. Firstly and politically, I think it was not possible for the prime minister to write a letter to the Swiss courts, whatever the merits of the case may be. President Asif Ali Zardari handpicked him purely on the same grounds that his predecessor appointed prime ministers, that is, being political lightweights. There was an additional quality that President Zardari was looking for and this was absolute loyalty towards him. Mr Gilani has proved his loyalty, honouring the time-honoured code of the feudal world — personal commitments are stronger than matters of public interest or law.
True, the prime minister is now a convicted person but in my view, he may continue to stay in the job until there is a decision on his appeal against the conviction. We have heard that he is not planning to appeal but who knows if the government may yet change its mind on that? Even his opponents, who want to see him return to Multan immediately, don't present any valid argument against his right of appeal. They talk about moral legitimacy which, in an immoral political world of ours doesn't carry any weight. If morality — that which is considered public conduct according to the accepted social norms of honour, decency, fair play and merit — were the value to judge our leaders; we may not find any in this part of the world, or elsewhere for that matter.
Morality is a good stick to beat opponents up with but a poor judge of the conduct of power-oriented politics. Politics is, therefore, governed by law alone. There is another source to judge politics, the opinion and support — or lack thereof — of the general population. Sadly, our tradition of rule of law remains weak and public opinion, if judged by electoral results, is polarised along a partisan party system based on strong social networks. Having said this, I believe Mr Gilani must go home.
First, never in our history have we seen such an incompetent government and perhaps, never will we see such a disastrous composition of actors again. There are only a handful of sane voices in his cabinet, the rest being incompetent and unable to run their ministries efficiently and for the greater public good. Second, Pakistan has done better under other regimes and could do better in terms of development, resource generation and governance. Also, the prime minister's reputation is not all that clean, not least because of the serious allegations of favouritism and nepotism in the so-called ephedrine scandal allegedly involving one of his sons.
Finally, with a heavy burden of perceived corruption, poor governance and now standing in the middle of a political controversy, his carrying on in office may cost the PPP dearly. He is a political liability and the sooner he is sent packing the better off the PPP will be, as well as the rest of the country.

Exercise-centric amenities are what residents and potential residents
are looking for as the holidays near.
Fitness centers and swimming pools were the third- and fourth-most
searched community features on ApartmentGuide.com during October, behind
pet-friendly communities and apartments with garages.
Apartment fitness centers are often accessible to residents only by a
key card or passcode, and typically include several cardio machines,
weight machines and an area for floor exercises. To see a list of
suggested exercises to do at home or in apartment fitness centers, visit http://www.apartmentguide.com/blog/take-the-holiday-exercise-challenge/.
According to a study conducted at Pennsylvania State University in
University Park, researchers found that dining in a group causes the
average person to consume 44 percent more calories than they would
alone. Since the average person gains one to two pounds from
Thanksgiving through New Year's Day, apartment residents - and home
dwellers alike - may be looking for ways to burnextra calories when
they have a spare moment.
"Apartment community fitness centers are one of the best tools for
resident weight management and overall health maintenance, and they're a
popular search feature on our site," said Scott Asher, Vice President,
Marketing and Operations. "Many fitness centers are open at all hours of
the day, and they allow you to fit exercise in before, during and after
the holidays, relieving stress and helping you stay in shape."

To prevent a digital Pearl Harbor from crippling the country, banks, utilities and communications companies should increase funding for cybersecurity ninefold, according to a new study by Bloomberg Government and the Ponemon Institute LLC to be released today:
To achieve security capable of stopping 95 percent of attacks -- considered by the Traverse City, Michigan-based Ponemon Institute to be the highest attainable level -- those surveyed said they would have to boost spending to a group total of $46.6 billion from the current $5.3 billion.
"The consequences of a successful attack against critical infrastructure makes these cost increases look like chump change," Ponemon told Bloomberg in an interview. "It would put people into the Dark Ages."
Of course the companies might argue that moving that kind of money in a weak economy might be equally crippling to their bottom lines. But as cybersecurity expert James Lewis at the Center for Strategic and International Studies says in the Bloomberg article, "The pattern in the U.S. is not to do anything until there's a disaster. The way we're going to find out if someone has the capability is we'll wake up one day and the lights won't work."

ATLANTA -- The political game of ''influence-go-round'' at the state Capitol -- with thousands of dollars at stake -- has so much momentum that even one of its most avid players isn't convinced he'll be able to stop it.
Helping each other
The five Georgia lawmakers who contributed the most during the 1999-2000 election cycle to political parties and other candidates for public office held leadership posts in the General Assembly during that term. Rank-and-file legislators from Northeast Georgia, on the other hand, contributed little or nothing to other campaigns:
Legislator & amount contributed
Sen. Charles Walker, D-Augusta $143,750
Sen. Eric Johnson, R-Savannah $118,250
Rep. Calvin Smyre, D-Columbus $75,150
Rep. Bob Irvin, R-Atlanta $44,900
Rep. Larry Walker, D-Perry $43,350
Rep. Alan Powell, D-Hartwell $5,050
Rep. Bob Smith, R-Watkinsville $3,750
Rep. Ralph Hudgens, R-Hull $3,700
Rep. Mickey Channell, D-Greensboro $3,525
Rep. Warren Massey, R-Winder $3,000
Rep. Jeannette Jamieson, D-Toccoa $750
Rep. Louise McBee, D-Athens $725
Rep. Keith Heard, D-Athens $500
Sen. Mike Beatty, R-Jefferson* 0
Rep. Pat Bell, D-Jefferson* 0
Sen. Doug Haines, D-Athens* 0
*Freshman legislator elected to first term in 2000
Source: Morris News Service analysis of reports to the Georgia Secretary of State, Elections Division
Lobbyists and special interests give money to a handful of state political leaders to curry their favor. The leaders then turn around and give some of that money to less powerful colleagues to win their support.
In some cases, the leaders also suggest that the contributing lobbyists give to the specified rank-and-file lawmakers as well, further cementing the alliance all three ways. In other cases, the original donor doesn't know the contribution has been passed on to someone else who may or may not have the same point of view.
Now, a Republican House member wants to put an end to the game.
Rep. Bob Irvin of Atlanta plans to introduce legislation when the General Assembly convenes next month forbidding candidates for state office from using campaign funds to contribute to other state candidates or to state party organizations.
As currently written, the law allowing candidate-to-candidate contributions was seen as a way to dispose of moderate sums of excess campaign money while helping a political colleague, said Irvin, a former House GOP leader.
But in recent years, the system has been used to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars from well-heeled, influential office holders to candidates with less money and clout, he said.
''It's gotten to the point where it's a major abuse of the campaign-finance system, and we ought to stop it,'' he said.
According to an analysis by Morris News Service, legislative leaders accounted for the vast majority of candidate-to-candidate giving during the 1999-2000 election cycle.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Walker of Augusta and Sen. Eric Johnson of Savannah, Walker's Republican counterpart in the upper chamber, topped the list among legislators with donations totaling $143,750 and $118,250, respectively. Irvin's contributions of $44,900 during those two years put him fourth in the rankings.
Gov. Roy Barnes also has been a major player, lending $310,000 in campaign funds to the state Democratic Party last year.
Recipients of candidate-to-candidate largesse often are either rank-and-file incumbents or newcomers trying to get into the General Assembly. Helping such hopefuls at election time builds alliances leaders can tap into when they need votes to pass their bills, said Charles Bullock, a political science professor at the University of Georgia.
''(Leaders) especially invest in people who are running as challengers or for an open seat,'' he said. ''They don't have a network of contacts. They tend to gravitate toward those who helped them get elected in the first place.''
With Democrats in control of both houses of the legislature, Democratic leaders wield the most influence and, therefore, have more to gain from the current system.
As a result, Johnson said he would support the bill if it reaches the Senate, even though he is among the biggest legislative contributors to fellow candidates.
''I'm not going to unilaterally disarm,'' he said.
Walker dismissed Irvin's bill as the product of a lawmaker who no longer is in a leadership position in the General Assembly and, therefore, doesn't have anything to gain by keeping the current system in place. The Augusta senator also noted that Irvin has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, so he doesn't plan to be in state government much longer.
''This is just political fodder,'' Walker said.
Irvin concedes that the bill isn't likely to pass, especially during an election year. But he said he wants to generate debate on the subject of campaign-finance reform.
''It's the kind of thing that if people talk about it enough for two to three years, the media and public might be able to force the legislature to pass it,'' he said.

CHristian has been my favorite designer since Day 1 of season 4. I always like the cocky ones XD
we are both small. and i also can fit on the small space he sleeps on. soo cute!
trust in God,have faith
"KATAlyzing the KATwalk"
I have to agree on Christian's feathery pants. While they are innovative and unique, I thought they were tacky. IF I wore them, I would wonder if I was going to head in flight, leave a feather trail or have people watch and stare at me in waiting for me to drop and egg!
Need a hug today. Here's one from me. (Squeeze...Squeeze)
I rewatched the first episode today. They were moving into the apartments, and Christian said "These are our beds? I sleep on the floor, so this is a good thing!" Now we know what he was talking about.
"Whatever you are, be a good one." Abraham Lincoln
What is an "MFWalkoff?"
There was an article in The Baltimore Sun (front page of the Today section) on either Tuesday or Wednesday about Christian and Project Runway. The Baltimore School for the Performing Arts (of which Christian is a graduate) had a charity auction for its benefit and Christian offered to design an outfit for the winner. Two women bid fiercely (couldn't resist) and the winning bid was $25,000. Christian spoke to the auctioneer quietly, who then announced that for $25,000, he would do an outfit for the second lady also. So Christian is doing two free outfits and the School for the Performing Arts is getting $50,000 (I think for its scholarship fund).
He spoke fondly of his time there and they are crazy about him. Really a nice way for him to give something back.
That is really nice of him - and I think it's a little unusual for someone that young (and cocky) to be so generous.
Here's part of the interview made to Christian by PEOPLE Magazine after his win:
So, besides you, which of the other finalists deserved to win?
That's easy. Jillian would have deserved to win just for the mere fact that she's technically amazing and creative. I love her pieces. If I was a woman I would wear them. Don't get me wrong, I might wear some of the jackets anyway . . . Rami's successful. He has a business. He's had it for years. He has dressed more celebrities than I can count on two hands, so I don't really feel that [the title] was really that beneficial for him.
Victoria Beckham loved your collection. Have you two been in touch? Are you really going to design for her?
I'll be seeing her next week, so I made her a few dresses. Hopefully she likes them, so we'll see how it goes. I really don't think I could have picked at this point a better judge and a better, fabulous person to dress and be in that moment with me. It was just perfect. After the filming, we chatted and she really said some amazing things. And it's such an honor because she can wear any designer she wants.
Of course, you're now $100,000 richer. What are you going to do with the money? And what's next for you?
I'm definitely buying a bed. That will be the first purchase. But honestly I'm working very hard. I'm going to show next season at [Fashion Week] in the tents again. I have some sponsors . . . I really want to go more of a high fashion route. I want to be in high-end stores. I do want to do more wearable pieces that are more sellable and do something fun with another designer or another celebrity, but that will come maybe a little later — unless something comes up right away. Who knows? Maybe Victoria Beckham will ask me to work for her new label. You never know.

An Ad-Hoc Low Cost Wireless Sensor Network for Smart Gas Metering
The monitoring of power consumption has become of a great interest in recent years as well as the innovative technologies available to realize Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have experienced a great growth. While smart metering technologies for electric energy are already established, as sensors power supply comes directly from power lines, WSN nodes for gas metering should necessarily be equipped with long life batteries. In this paper, the authors describe a new prototypal low cost WSN designed ad hoc for gas smart metering. The network has a star topology: each sensor node can be completely integrated with standard reed relay gas meter, and it is capable to measure the gas consumption. The information is sent to the central node (the Access Point, AP) through an RF links.

Despite recent dark times, more Canadians than ever are getting rich. According to Investor Economics, a financial services research and consulting firm, the number of millionaires in Canada is set to double in the next seven years, and the group of individuals with $500,000 to $1-million in investible assets will grow by 91 per cent at the same time.
With all that money burning a hole in their (Versace) pocket, these freshly affluent people face increasingly complex issues. Now that they've grown all that wealth, how do they hang on to it? And what kind of investment possibilities open up that they couldn't access before?
"There's a complexity and sophistication regarding taxation and estate planning that arise once one is at a certain level of wealth," says Katie Walmsley, president of the Portfolio Management Association of Canada. "Trying to do it yourself may be fine for some, but the majority of Canadians, and especially those new to wealth, are looking for expertise to help in preserving that wealth and making the most of that for their future.'
Most critically, high net investors want a customized approach to their portfolio and closer communication with their investment counsellor.
"For the most part, these people are leaving the mass market kind of investments and entering this world of a direct relationship with the people who manage their money, which is one of the things that really describes private investment management," says Rob Barbara, senior vice-president of Burgundy Asset Management Ltd. and a managing director at Beaujolais Private Investment Management. "There's no longer a requirement to go through a distribution channel whether it be brokers, financial planners or mutual funds. It allows you to work with the people who work with the money."
Burgundy caters to private Canadian individuals and families with $3-million or more to invest while entry to Beaujolais is set at $500,000. The average Beaujolais client has about $1-million of investable money available.
"Our job is to build their wealth over time but through a capital-preservation-first strategy," says Mr. Barbara. "If they're also on the side of accumulating wealth, that's great. Through Beaujolais, we have clients at all phases of their lives, but generally we see professionals, as well as small- and medium-sized business owners, who are five to 15 years away from retirement."
One major change for new high-level investors is that they may suddenly be able to buy into investments that were previously inaccessible – if they can meet the minimum buy-in and become qualified as an accredited investor. To do that, they must pass a combination of tests based on their income, financial or total assets.
"As soon as you do, custom-tailored pooled funds and hedge funds open up to you that are not available to the mass retail market," says Ms. Walmsley. "Security regulators put limitations in place because these investments are considered more complex and, in some cases more risky, so the regulator feels individuals should have a certain amount of assets to take those risks."
International investments in emerging markets that would be hard to access as an individual are further options that may open up for high-worth private clients. Burgundy/Beaujolais claim a very strong international capability with a team of investment managers that scours the world for opportunities. While not all clients are the same, Greg Dowdall, a managing director and investment counsellor at Beaujolais, says a client with a decent runway of more than 10 years before retirement would typically have more than 50 per cent of their assets invested internationally in a Burgundy or Beaujolais portfolio.
"When you deal with a private investment management firm willing to do the legwork and actually travel to places like China, Brazil, India and Europe so that they really understand these situations – and not just look at computer screens in their Toronto-based offices – you get access to some of the fastest-growing businesses anywhere on the globe," says Mr. Barbara. "A good example would be Wal-Mart in Mexico, which is just a fantastic business, expanding at a much more rapid pace than Wal-Mart in the U.S., with management that's been trained by Wal-Mart U.S., but that's doing business in a much more rapidly growing country."
Of course, wealthy individuals with an entrepreneurial bent can always opt to become an angel investor and back a private business at home.
"Like on the CBC television show, Dragon's Den, there are all sorts of businesses out there that you can't invest in through the market because they're not publicly traded companies," says Ted Rechtshaffen, president of TriDelta Financial Partners, a financial planning firm in Toronto. "But if you have a particular passion, you may come across someone who says, I'll give you 10 per cent equity in my company, if you invest $250,000."
Ultimately, the question is how much risk does the investor want to take to achieve all the things they want to do? Investment counsellors need to understand their client's needs and objectives in order to construct the right asset mix that will help them reach their goals in a way that's consistent with their comfort zone.
"A lot of the assessment is asking what you want to do with your life," says Mr. Rechtshaffen. "Build your list and ask how the money can support those things."
What to do with a windfall
- Spend some time: "Don't rush into quick decisions," advises Ms. Walmsley. "Do some research, talk to people who are current clients and meet with a few firms before determining if it's the right fit."
- Check credentials: Make sure the firm is registered with the Securities Commission to ensure they're financially sound, have insurance and capital in place, and meet expectations for financial reporting. "There's a silver lining to the Bernie Madoff and Earl Jones situations," says Ms. Walmsley. "More investors are doing due diligence. We get calls all the time."
- Pay less tax: "If you have a lot of money, there's a whole other purpose for insurance that has to do with taxes and estates," says Mr. Rechtshaffen. "Some people take a slice of that wealth and put it into insurance, because in Canada, insurance is tax free."

Devon Young Farmers were the overall winners of the weekend, with several triumphs in various competitions throughout the weekend including junior reading, situation vacant, junior public speaking, cheerleading, street dance and county chairman Claire Bellew, winning senior member of the year.
Now 'How Pink is your panther' and 'Play that Country Song' will go on to compete in the Southern Final, held in Cheltenham on March 19.

How does a 20-year-old college student go from worrying about how he and his college buddies are planning their nights out to running a company alongside one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Boston?
I sat down with Ben Kaplan, Founder & CEO of WiGo, to find out.
Ben Kaplan, a Burlington, VT native, was a D1 hockey player at Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. Early on in his freshman year he took notice of a common theme around his friends and classmates – planning the night out. He remembers constantly hearing
"What is everyone doing tonight?"
"Where are you going?"
"Who is going out?"
He quickly realized there was no simple and efficient way to organize plans. Kaplan started researching and found the options available and most commonly used just weren't good enough. Facebook wasn't popular for planning because it came with social costs (appearing out of the loop). Group texts were annoying for those stuck on the chain that weren't going out. Tweeting just wasn't effective.
With an idea in his head, Kaplan started to sketch out his concept on paper, including some basic screens. He entered into, and won, an inaugural "Shark Tank" event at Holy Cross with just a concept, some basic imagery and a name – WiGo (Who is Going out?). This 'win' gave him the vote of confidence to continue moving forward.
During his summer break between freshman and sophomore years Kaplan hired a developer to build out a basic app for him to launch back on campus.
Just three weeks after introducing the app this past January at Holy Cross, Kaplan tells me over half of those with iPhones were using WiGo and on peak nights they saw 90% of users active. This, in Kaplan's mind, validated a pain point.
While he and others were impressed with the early traction, he needed to explore replicating this success in a place where he wasn't a student. Kaplan had a couple of friends download the app for their schools, UVM and St. Michaels in Vermont and within a week WiGo accumulated over 600 users.
Around this time, Kaplan met Entrepreneur In Residence at Worcester Polytechnic Institute Jim Giza, who was the 7th hire at Kayak and had a close relationship with Paul English, CEO & Co-Founder of the startup factory, Blade. Giza introduced Kaplan and English, as he saw a natural fit between the two.
The connection between Kaplan and English clicked immediately. And siting with the two to discuss WiGo, the chemistry was unmistakable.
An agreement between Kaplan and English was secured quickly and Kaplan would leave Holy Cross after his sophomore year this past spring.
I asked English what drew him to WiGo and Kaplan:
"I was drawn to WiGo because of Ben. I found him to be incredibly compelling -- he has a strong vision for the space, very strong conviction on his ideas. He fought back when I would suggest strategies he did not like, yet, he was also very open-minded and quick to understand new ideas."
Kaplan returned the praises for English, saying "I wouldn't be anywhere without Paul."
One key element Kaplan touched upon was English's guidance and role in building the WiGo team, specifically the recruitment of Giuliano Giacaglia, who is now Co-Founder & CTO.
Giacaglia, originally from Brazil, knew English from MIT where he earned a Bachelors degree in Computer Science and Engineering and Masters of Engineering, Artificial Intelligence.
English admits it took some serious convincing to bring Giacaglia on as a full-time employee to Blade (his initial role) as he was set on starting his own company, but English got it done. Once WiGo was brought on board to Blade, Giacaglia made the move full-time to WiGo. A move Giacaglia told me was a no-brainer.
The common theme on the day I caught up with the WiGo team, was, well, the team. Giacaglia talked of how he was "so lucky to be surrounded with such talent."
English raved about the "mojo" the team has, at the pace at which they work and how exciting it has been for him to watch and be a part of.
And of course Kaplan, at times in awe of the fact that just four months ago he was a college student training for hockey season, is now working with some of the best startup talent in the area on WiGo.
So… what has this incredible team created?
WiGo is the first app that safely and securely shows college students who is going out at their school and where they're headed. All locations are user generated, which makes sense as many bars have nicknames students use and other venues may be on or off-campus buildings that don't have a name or address at all.
WiGo allows users to playfully "tap" each other to meet up, and completely wipes clean the next morning, embracing a truly ephemeral approach. This feature was definitely something Kaplan keyed in on during our conversation and it's easy to understand why it's popular among users. It essentially allows users to flirt with each other, but removes the awkwardness.
The app has been available on iOS since its launch two weeks ago and became available on Android this week.
The traction is significant with over 600 schools having active WiGo users. While meeting in Blade we could see new users (name, photo, school, etc.) being added and popping up by the minute. Literally, they had the tracking screens projected onto the walls. If you've been to Blade you can picture the imagery around the room.
WiGo is free to download and is 100% ad free. Users simply log in to their school's network using their .edu email address. Once they confirm their email address, they see a list of other WiGo users at their school to follow. There is also a chat feature where users can chat 1:1 with friends to solidify their plans.
Privacy was a key component Kaplan touched on as they take it very seriously. Along with a valid .edu email address they use Facebook for authorization during login, which adds another layer of legitimacy to the identities of users.
Additionally, users have the option to put their account on private (they must accept follow requests and their information is hidden from non-followers) and there is even a blocking mechanism where students can block individual users.
Along with college students around the country and top professional talent, Kaplan and English were able to draw the interest of key investors including, Vince Wilfork (New England Patriots), James van Riemsdyk (NHL - Toronto Maple Leafs), and Ben Fischman (founder of Rue La La & LIDS).
I asked Wilfork and his wife Bianca (the two met at the University of Miami) what made them invest in WiGo:
"The minute we heard about WiGo, we knew it would be special. Technology has changed so much since the UM days. We wish something like this would've been available then. At the end of the day, Ben Kaplan and the entire WiGo team has so much passion and energy going that there is no way this won't reach millions of college kids all over the place."
In addition to these influential investors, who I'm sure you'll see supporting and promoting WiGo, the team is working on finalizing additional (undisclosed) strategic partnerships to help grown the brand and user base. With these key partners, Kaplan tells me WiGo's goal for this year is gain "critical mass at every school." They certainly seem on their way.
Based on the strength of the team and rapid early growth, WiGo looks bound for exciting things ahead. Something Kaplan's parents, who are both Yale graduates, have to be pleased (if not relieved) with after just a few months from seeing their son drop out of college to launch a smartphone app.

Annika Dries broke a tie with the first of Stanford's four fourth-quarter goals, and the top-ranked Cardinal won the NCAA women's water polo title Sunday, beating UCLA 9-5 in Los Angeles.
Stanford (34-1) avenged its only loss of the season to win its fourth title and third in four years.
No. 2 UCLA (27-5) led 5-3 at the half but could not score in the final two quarter. Stanford tied it with 2 seconds remaining in the third quarter and scored on three consecutive possessions in a 1:23 span to put it out of reach.
Dries led Stanford with three goals, and Ashley Grossman and Kaley Dodson each had two.
The title was the 105th for Stanford athletics and extended the school's national-best streak to 38 years with at least one NCAA championship.
For Stanford's senior class of Dries, Dodson, Kaitlyn Lo, Lexie Ross and Kelsey Suggs, it ended a run since 2010-11 in which the Cardinal went 108-7.
"I'm really proud of (this team). It seems game after game we get down and have to fight our way back," coach John Tanner said. "The story of this team is that they have been comprehensively unified."
No. 4 Cal (20-10) lost to No. 3 USC 11-8 in the third-place game. Freshman Roser Tarrago had two goals for the Bears.
College baseball
Five third-inning runs carried Stanford (24-21, 11-13 Pac-12) to a 5-3 victory at Arizona. The Cardinal had three extra-base hits in the inning, including Alex Blandino's Pac-12-leading eighth home run of the season.
College softball
The Bay Area was shut out when the 64-team field was announced for the NCAA Division I Championship. Stanford finished 30-25 but went 5-19 in the Pac-12. Cal (23-29), San Jose State (30-24), Saint Mary's (23-27) and Santa Clara (10-34) also didn't make the field. USF doesn't field a team. Five Pac-12 teams made it, including top-seeded Oregon (49-7-1). Santa Clara (5-10 WCC) lost 6-1 to San Diego in its regular-season finale.
College basketball
Former Hawaii point guard Keith Shamburger tweeted he had committed to Missouri for his final season. Shamburger, who began his college career at San Jose State and graduates from Hawaii in a few weeks, averaged 9.3 points and a Big West-leading 5.4 assists a game last season. He averaged 12.7 points a game in two seasons at San Jose State and had 5.2 assists a game as a sophomore.
College track
Jaci Powell placed fifth in the heptathlon to earn the Cal women's team four points in the Pac-12 Championships in Pullman, Washington. She had a season-best 5,160 points. USC's Amalie Iuel won at 5,378. Cal's Andrew Cruikshank was 11th in the decathlon. Oregon's Dakotah Keys won at 7,801.
College tennis
Campbell Johnson beat Shane Vinsant 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 at No. 2 singles to give 17th-ranked Cal a 4-3 upset of No. 10 Texas A&M in the second round of the NCAA men's championship in College Station, Texas. The Bears (17-7) advanced to the Round of 16 in Athens, Georgia, and will play Texas on Friday. Cal won the doubles point, and Andre Goransson and Gregory Bayane also posted singles victories.
Former Cal cornerback Kameron Jackson, who went undrafted, agreed to terms with Indianapolis, according to the Colts' official website. Ex-Cal defensive tackle Deandre Coleman agreed to terms with Jacksonville on Saturday. Cal tight end Richard Rodgers (third round, Green Bay) and linebacker Khairi Fortt (fourth round, New Orleans) were drafted Friday and Saturday, respectively.
San Jose Giants
Joe Kurrasch allowed five hits over seven innings, and the Giants routed Inland Empire 9-0 at Municipal Stadium. San Jose pounded out 19 hits, including a 4-for-4 day by eighth-place hitter Elliott Blair.
Horse racing
G. G. Ryder earned his first stakes victory when the 3-year-old colt held off Pazmeifucan down the stretch and won the $75,000 Alcatraz Stakes by 13/4 lengths under Russell Baze. Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, G. G. Ryder ran the one-mile turf race in 1:36.98 and paid $3.40 as the 3-to-5 favorite. Owned by Hollendorfer and George Todaro, G. G. Ryder won $45,000 in the Alcatraz.
Nathan Tsuji of Aptos and Santa Cruz Sports won the Level 10 elite floor exercise at the U.S. Men's Junior Olympic Championships in Long Beach.
