Simply Residential

Since I nearly died in hospital in Oct 2012, things haven't been good. I've been thrown out of hospital (where some guys with ADHD put me) by security guards, making my oedema even worse, then entrapped by police and wrongly arrested, spent a night in a cell, daubed my faeces on the wall, had a warrant out for my arrest when I failed to turn up at Magistrates (too bloody ill actually!), had loads of stuff go missing, lent gutter folk money or get battered, etc, etc. Now I am dealing with it:

Firstly, I've run away from Bolton and made this:

Dear Simon,

I am copying this to friends who perhaps don't understand why I have been stressed lately.

My business partner informs me that he has removed ALL my belongings, cleaned the carpets, and taken photographs showing the flat in pristine condition apart from the smashed windows. The latter remain your responsibility.

Please take possession of the flat immediately, and confirm the end of the Tenancy and Guarantorship in writing to me and the Guarantor.

I will take legal advice about your negligence during the 5 weeks the flat was left with boarded windows. The police have identified the criminal (using DNA from blood I recovered from the crime scene) as my next door neighbour, who has absconded. I remain in fear of him, because he assaulted me on 30th March when I invited him and his girlfriend round for a drink and accused him of being a wife beater. He hit me so hard I fell over. He smashed the windows later. He is schizophrenic and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder following military service. You will understand why I have chosen to rent accommodation in the Lake District for the time being, and must leave Bolton, where I lived for 57 years. I quite like being alive.

In a separate incident, I was burgled on 28th March 2013. I was asleep hidden under a duvet in the lounge and my son Ben was asleep in my bedroom. £800, my smartphone, a camera, and three guitars were stolen. The door remained locked after the event. This means there are two ways the burglar could have gained access:

i) They had a key

ii) They climbed through a window.

The police are no doubt considering these possibilities. But they have murders to deal with, so I have been told to wait. For months.

I notice that several of the girls who used to work for you - and to whom I have spoken over the weeks - have left your company. I wonder why?

It is also interesting that the block management company is in receivership, and that there are far more flats for sale than for rent. Having boarded windows next to the main entrance clearly doesn't help.

Now, I think I'll have a gin and tonic and watch the US Open Golf Championship on my veranda.

nVoy™ Certification to Usher Hybrid Home Networking into the Mainstream

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

nVoy™ Certification to Usher Hybrid Home Networking into the Mainstream

 

Certification and Brand Program Based on the IEEE 1905.1 Standard to Support HomePlug®, Wi-Fi®, MoCA® and Ethernet Connectivity

 

TAIPEI – June 4, 2013 – Computex 2013 – Hybrid home networking will move from specification to reality with the introduction of a new nVoy™ certification and marketing program for HomePlug®, MoCA®, Wi-Fi® and Ethernet products implementing the IEEE 1905.1 hybrid networking standard. By providing a common communication protocol, nVoy Certified products will enable consumers and service providers to leverage the strengths of the wired and wireless networking technologies prevalent in many homes today. Products with nVoy Certification, the first of which are expected later this year, will support and foster enhanced connectivity between HomePlug, Wi-Fi, MoCA and Ethernet networking technologies, with numerous benefits to both service providers and consumers.

 

Service providers are continually looking for new ways to meet the exponential growth in demand for networking speeds to accommodate high-bandwidth applications such as IPTV, Video-on-Demand, multi-room DVR, and device-to-device media shifting. Using nVoy networking capabilities, service providers can add new network intelligence to improve existing deployments and enable new whole-home products and services. Features of nVoy Certified products will include advanced diagnostics supported locally or remotely with TR-069, topology discovery, simplified security setup, link metrics and  automatic configuration of Wi-Fi access points. It also enables enhanced power management by optimizing network power usage across different technologies. 

 

Consumers will benefit from the consistent authentication procedures provided by nVoy Certified products to enable very simple self-installation of hybrid home networks for wired and wireless devices. Based on 1905.1 technology, nVoy Certification will validate these features for new devices while maintaining backward compatibility with widely deployed HomePlug, Wi-Fi, MoCA and Ethernet devices already in consumers’ homes. In addition to improved consumer satisfaction, retailers can enjoy reduced product returns and minimized support calls. 

 

“A large and diverse set of companies contributed to the development of the 1905.1 specification throughout the process,” said Purva Rajkotia, chairman of the IEEE 1905.1 Working Group. “Establishing the certification program for the standard that unifies the world’s most prevalent wired and wireless networking technologies will bring benefits to carriers who wish to deploy more capable and reliable home network equipment and to end-users who continue to demand richer content on more devices.” 

 

“HomePlug technology is a natural fit for hybrid home networks,” said Rob Ranck, President, HomePlug Alliance. “HomePlug Alliance is happy to support development of the nVoy program and brand to speed adoption and market recognition of interoperable hybrid products.”    

 

“This specification will accelerate the adoption of home networking worldwide and make integration of technologies, devices and services much easier for operators, equipment manufacturers and consumers. We see nVoy certification as a win-win-win,” said Charles Cerino, President of MoCA.

 

"We are pleased to see progress toward a certification for product interoperability in hybrid home networks," said Wi-Fi Alliance CEO and president Edgar Figueroa. "The Wi-Fi industry has a relentless focus on the user experience and interoperability, and nVoy certification will continue to move home networking forward toward those goals."

 

Development of the nVoy testing and certification program is nearing completion, and the first interoperability event is expected in the third quarter of 2013. The first nVoy Certified products are expected by year-end 2013. More information on the nVoy program can be found at www.nvoy.org.

By chance, my new landline number (01204 is given) is:

3 even digits then 3 odd digits.

The odds are 15625 to 1.

I will announce the prize later.

I expect to have the visitors I deserve. About time, but a pity I've had to survive ordeals few men would survive.

I'm not a brave man, but when, for example, two muppets smashed the windows of my flat when I was alone at 1am having recorded music for 4 days without sleep, I thought I might be killed by the guy next door (Paul Bowman, who is on the run like his ex (Tracey/Tracy? Williams) and must be found. I will find them since their postbox was already broken and easily robbed and someone keeps opening the letters and leaving them for all to see.

No. When I think I'm going to die or worse, I cry as real men do, then I think of my dead father Herbert Mann, who adorns the wall of Regent Park Golf Club in Bolton as Club Captain in 1956 (the year I was born). He would say "Manno, that's nowt. Would thee rather pray for an Italian boat to pick thee up 6 hours after being sunk by an Italian submarine?"

That's where I get my strength. I can write my second book about that. Pity he can't read it, since I don't believe in Heaven. I can't wait to die, and meet him.

Good luck!

With all my love

Stephen Mann
