A radio-frequency amplifier (50) has an impedance transformation network (66) with a control input (70) for controlling the transformation characteristic of the transformation network (66). The radio-frequency amplifier (50) amplifies an input signal to produce an amplified radio-frequency output signal to a load (68). The control circuit selects a power level for the output signal, in response to a control signal, by transforming the impedance of the load to a transformed impedance at the output of the radio-frequency amplifier, so that the efficiency of the radio-frequency amplifier is not substantially degraded as the power level for the output signal is changed.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/827,515, filed on Jan. 24, 1992 abandoned and Ser. No. 07/475,511 filed on Feb. 6, 1990 and now abandoned.
This invention relates in general to radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers, and more particularly to high efficiency amplifiers with variable output power.
Referring to FIG. 1, a circuit 10 represents a conventional RF power amplifier. The circuit 10 includes a field-effect transistor (FET) 14 coupled to the supply voltage Vs through an RF choke 12. The FET 14 receives an RF drive at its gate 15, thus performing as an RF periodic current sink or switch. A capacitor 16 is disposed between a node 13 and a node 18 for DC blocking purposes. A bandpass filter 19, comprising an inductor 20 and a capacitor 22 is disposed between the node 18 and the load resistance 26. A matching network 24 is disposed between the node 18 and the output 26 of the power amplifier 10, to transform the impedance of the load 28 to a desired output impedance (Zo) at node 18.
Ideal class C RF power amplifiers, or switch mode amplifiers (class D, E, or F) operate at an optimum output power (Po) determined by the power supply voltage (Vs) and the operating load line (RL) by the equation:
Po =Vs 2 /2RL ( 1)
Thus, for a fixed voltage supply (as in portable radio amplifiers) output power is determined by the load line RL.
RF power amplifiers of conventional design typically suffer from a significant efficiency reduction when the output power level is adjusted to values below the peak design output power by varying the input drive to the power amplifier. This is true for all classes of amplifiers: A, B, C, E, and F. Maintaining efficiency with RF output power cutback is an important requirement for radios that are designed to save battery power as a result of reduced power operation. One known option for varying output power while maintaining efficiency is to adjust the voltage supply to the amplifier stage. However, this option is inconvenient since a high efficiency DC/DC converter is required in the case of a battery powered RF amplifier.
Briefly, according to the invention, a high efficiency RF amplifier has variable output power while operating from substantially a constant voltage source. This is accomplished by varying the load impedance of the amplifier, so that the efficiency of the radio-frequency amplifier is not substantially degraded as the power level for the output signal is changed.
FIG. 1 is a schematic of a conventional RF power amplifier.
FIG. 2 is a schematic of a power amplifier having a controllable impedance transforming network, in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 3 is a schematic of another power amplifier having a controllable impedance transforming network, in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic of another power amplifier in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 5 is a schematic of a power amplifier in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 6 is a schematic of a circuit for use with a power amplifier in accordance with the invention.

FIG. 8 is a schematic of a three-stage power amplifier circuit in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 9 is a schematic of a radio having a power amplifier in accordance with the invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, an RF power amplifier circuit 50 in accordance with the invention is shown. The amplifier circuit 50 accomplishes a reduction in output power without a substantial reduction in efficiency. A substantially constant power supply voltage, Vs, is applied to the amplifier circuit 50 at an electrode 52. An RF periodic switch (or current sink) 56 is coupled to the power supply electrode 52 through an RF choke 54. The switch 56 is preferably a transistor operating as a periodic switch for all output power levels (yielding substantially constant efficiency). A capacitor 58 is disposed between the switch 56 and a bandpass filter 63, to block the DC voltage. The bandpass filter 63 includes an inductor 62 and a capacitor 64 coupled in parallel. A series coupled bandpass filter may also be used with equal results. An impedance transformation network 66 with N transformation states is coupled to the switch 56 through the capacitor 58 and the filter 63. The transformation network 66 accomplishes the desired output power control by proper selection of the transformation ratio of the transformation network 66. Control signals may be applied to the transformation network 66 at a control electrode 70 for changing the transfer ratio to achieve the desired output power control. Network switching may be performed by switching in or out reactive lump elements in a discrete match, for example, selecting a tapped winding on a transformation transformer, or switching in or out lumped or distributed elements in a hybrid match. The switches could be PIN diodes, transistors, electrically or mechanically activated "make/break" contacts.
Referring to FIG. 3, an RF power amplifier circuit 80 in accordance with another embodiment of invention is shown. The output device in this case is a bipolar transistor 88. An RF signal is received at the base 86 of the transistor 88 for amplification thereof. As in the previously discussed circuits, an RF choke 84 is disposed between the power electrode 82 and the collector 89 of the transistor 88 to filter out RF signals. A capacitor 90 prevents DC voltages at node 89 from being established at a bandpass filter 93 (comprising an inductor 92 and a capacitor 94). The bandpass filter 93 defines the output frequency of the amplifier 80. An impedance transformation network 95 transforms the impedance of the load 104 to a desired impedance (Zo) at a node 91. The network 95 includes an inductor 96 coupled in series to a capacitor 100 and a PIN diode 98 and a capacitor 102, coupled in parallel with the load 104. An RF choke 106 is disposed between the anode of the diode 98 and a supply electrode 108, so that when a control bias voltage is applied at the electrode 108, the diode 98 conducts, thus changing the transformation characteristic of the network 95. Thus, the network 95 has two states of impedance transformation.
Referring to FIG. 4, an RF power amplifier 120 in accordance with still another embodiment of the invention is shown. In this case, the output device is a Field-Effect Transistor (FET) 122. An RF signal at the gate 124 of the FET 122 is amplified. A power supply voltage Vs is applied to the drain of FET 122, through an RF choke 123. A DC blocking capacitor 126 is disposed between the drain of the FET 122 and an impedance transformation network 129. A bandpass filter 131 is disposed between the capacitor 126 and the network 129. In this embodiment the network 129 includes a transformer 132 with a capacitor 134 coupled to its center tap. A PIN diode 136 has its anode coupled to a control electrode 139 (through RF choke 138), and its cathode coupled to ground potential, so that it acts as a switch. When a sufficiently high voltage (Vc) is applied at electrode 139, the diode 136 conducts (i.e., one transformation state) and when such a voltage is not present, the network 129 is in another transformation state. Thus, the impedance at node 133 may be in one of two possible states (depending on the value of Vc) so that when less power is required at the load 140, the appropriate impedance transformation maintains the efficiency of the amplifier 120 relatively constant.
Referring to FIG. 5, there is shown an RF power amplifier 160 having an output switch device 164. The device 164 comprises an FET 168, that is operated in a switching mode and is designed for high efficiency. The semiconductor switch device 168 is supplied through an RF choke 162 from a constant voltage source Vo (such as a battery). A driving source is supplied to the input terminal (gate) 172 of the semiconductor device 168 so that device 168 operates as a switch. Inductor 174 and capacitor 176 represent a series-coupled bandpass filter at the operation frequency Fo and present a high impedance elsewhere. A load resistance 192 is supplied with the RF power through a transformation network 179. This transformation network has capacitances 180 and 188, which vary with bias voltages Vb1 and Vb2 (which are applied through resistors 182 and 183). The capacitances 180 and 188 may be a varactor or, a PIN diode, or an equivalent, Each such capacitance may also be achieved by using back-to-back varactors or PIN diodes.
The switching device 168 is an imperfect switch having switch capacitance 166 and switch resistance 170, which are intrinsic to the semiconductor device. Elementary analysis shows that the output resistance at node 177 presented to the amplifier is:
Ro =8cV2 /(Pout π2) (2)
where c is a constant depending on the circuit topology. Further straightforward analysis yields the condition for optimum efficiency operation of an imperfect switch, for which the efficiency is given by: ##EQU1##
At optimum efficiency, the product ab equals 5.22 for the topology of FIG. 5 and ab equals 29.7 for the circuit of FIG. 6. The term in parenthesis is the inverse of the switch Q, where Rs is resistor 170 and Cs is capacitor 166, and Fo is the operating frequency. For the circuit of FIG. 5, c=0.2257, while for the circuit of FIG. 6, c=0.2058.
From equation (2) the output power Pout versus optimum load resistance Ro is:
TABLE 1______________________________________Pout.watts Ro.Ω. FIG. 5 Ro.Ω. FIG. 6______________________________________0.4 16 150.8 8.2 7.51.0 6.6 61.3 5.0 4.61.6 4.1 3.8______________________________________
for Vo =6 volts. Pout and the load resistance 192 are seen to be inversely related while maintaining the condition for high efficiency.
The voltage-controlled transformation network 179 is a pair of quarter wave transmission line sections, 178 and 186, each having a voltage variable capacitance, 180, and 183, coupling the mid-points of the respective transmission lines to ground.
Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown a circuit 200 for use with the RF power amplifier 160 (of FIG. 5). An impedance transformation network 202 has a variable load transformation characteristic similar to that of the amplifier of FIG. 5. When the capacitors 212 and 214 each vary over a 2 pF range, and the two transmission lines 208 and 210 are respectively 25 Ohm and 70 Ohm sections, a continuously variable load resistance (Ro) between 5 and 16 Ohms is presented to the input device 164 for a nominal load 192 of 50 Ohms. Thus, as indicated in the table above, an output power variation of more than 3 to 1 is obtained with the circuits of FIGS. 5 and 6. Additional such transmission line sections would further increase the range of power variation.
The voltage variable capacitances may be either varactor diodes or back-biased PIN diodes. Adequate capacitance variation has been demonstrated with back-biased PIN diodes at power levels up to several watts.
The amplifier 160 is a high efficiency amplifier of the "tuned load" variety of which class E is another particular example. The amplifier 160 with the circuit 200 is a "harmonically tuned" high efficiency amplifier which is related to the Class F amplifier. Similar load variation for output power control could also be demonstrated for class C amplifiers and for Class B amplifiers. Reactances 204 and 206 represent a harmonic band network that in conjunction with the device intrinsic capacitance 166 (of FIG. 5) has a "zero" at the second harmonic band and a "pole" at the third harmonic band.
Referring to FIG. 7, a three-stage RF power amplifier 300 in accordance with another embodiment of the invention is shown. Three RF amplifier stages 302, 306, and 320 are shown coupled through PIN diode switches and are arranged so that amplifier 320 or amplifiers 306 and 320 may be bypassed. PIN diodes 304, 314, 316, and 318 are biased so that they can assume the ON/OFF states shown in Table 2 for the desired power levels (full power, -9 dB, or -18 dB (typical) and amplifiers 302, 306, and 320 are each designed for optimum efficiency, three output power levels are available under logic control while high efficiency is maintained at each level.
TABLE 2______________________________________ S1 (318) S2 (304) S3 (316) S4 (314)______________________________________full power OFF ON OFF ON-9 dB OFF ON ON OFF-18 dB ON OFF OFF OFF______________________________________
Resistors 308, 322, 324, and 326, in conjunction with the bias control logic circuit 310 constitute biasing means for the PIN diode switches 304, 314, 316, and 318.
The bias control logic circuit 310 has an input 312 for receiving input data on the power cutback required, and four outputs 328, 330, 332 and 334, coupled to resistors 308, 322, 324, and 334, respectively, for providing the bias voltages required to bypass one or two stages of amplification. Thus, for example if one wishes to bypass amplifier 320, the input data at input 312 instructs the bias control logic circuit 310 to apply bias voltages at outputs 330 and 334, having a sufficient level to turn off diodes 318 and 314.
If each amplification stage has a constant efficiency of 14 percent (such as Motorola Inc.'s SABER radio, at full power) the required battery current is 1900 mA for 2 watts. However, the required battery current is only about 240 mA for 0.25 watts. Therefore, in such a case, RF power cutback improves battery energy usage.
The final amplification stage 320 does not have to be designed for variable output power (because it is bypassed for either a reduction of 9 dB or 18 dB). Thus, it can be designed for high efficiency, as can stages 302 and 306. Stage efficiencies of 33% are realizable easily for constant power stages, while application of high efficiency techniques can improve stage efficiency to near 50%.
Referring to FIG. 8, another three-stage RF power amplifier is shown. In a high-power mode, a switch 408 (preferably a PIN diode switch) is in its "A" position. In a low-power mode, the switch 408 is in the "B" position, whereby the final stage is bypassed with a line 412. In either position of the switch 408, the amplifiers are optimized for efficiency.
Referring to FIG. 9, an antenna 502 receives an RF signal when the receive/transmit switch 504 is in the receive position. The RF signal is amplified by an RF amplifier 505. The amplified RF signal is then mixed by a mixer 506 with a signal produced by a local oscillator 508. The resulting intermediate frequency (IF) signal is applied to an IF filter 510. The filtered signal produced by the IF filter 510 is then applied to a detector 512 for producing a demodulated signal. A high signal strength detector 516 detects the level of the demodulated signal. In the event that the signal has a margin over 20 dB quieting, the high signal strength detector 516 provides a signal to the logic circuit 524, providing it with that information.
The demodulated signal is also sampled by a private line (PL) 1 detector 526 and by a PL 2 detector 528. The PL 1 detector 526 detects the presence or absence of a PL 1 tone in the demodulated signal. The presence of a PL 1 tone may indicate that a companion communication unit (e.g., remote base station 550 or a radio that is substantially identical to radio 500) is receiving an excessive power level of transmission from the radio 500, and thus requesting a power reduction. The PL 1 detector 526 conveys that information to the logic circuit 524.
The PL 2 detector 528 monitors the signal for a PL 2 tone that informs the radio 500 of the transmission power level of the other communication unit. For example, if the other communication unit is transmitting at a high level, it may indicate that by transmitting the PL 2 tone. Upon detecting that tone, the PL 2 detector provides a signal to the logic circuit 524 indicating the transmission power status of the received signal.
If the PL 1 detector 526 detects that the PL 1 tone is present, the PL 1 detector 526 produces a signal to the logic circuit 524 instructing it to operate on a lower power mode. Thus, the logic circuit 524 causes a relay control 534 to place the switch 540 in the low position. This causes the amplifier 536 to be decoupled from the amplifier 538 and thus a lower level of output is achieved.
When the radio 500 is in the transmit mode, the PL 2 generator 532 provides a signal to the oscillator, drivers, and modulator circuits (represented by a block 542) indicating the transmission power status of the radio 500. That information is then transmitted to the other communication unit by means of the presence or absence of a PL 2 tone in the transmitted signal. Whereas the PL 1 generator sends a signal to the circuits 542 indicating whether the other communication unit should cutback on its power output, or not. That information is then also transmitted to the other communication unit by means of the presence or absence of a PL 1 tone in the transmitted signal. Moreover, an audio input 544 receives an audio signal for modulation and transmission. The power level of the transmission is determined by the switch 540. When the switch 540 is in the high position, the output power is high because two levels of amplification are achieved (i.e., by amplifiers 536 and 538). On the other hand, when the switch 540 is in the low position only the amplifier 538 amplifies.
A squelch 518 is coupled to the detector 512 to determine whether the level of signal at that point is above a predetermined amount (i.e., whether a usable signal is produced by the detector 512). If the signal strength is not of sufficient strength, the squelch 518 causes the audio mute circuit 514 to mute the audio from the detector 512. The logic circuit 524 also monitors the output of the squelch 518 to determine whether the received signal is of a minimum level.
If the audio signal level is adequate, the amplifier 520 provides an amplified audio signal to the loudspeaker 522. On the other hand, if the received signal strength is below the desired level the squelch circuit 524 causes the PL 1 generator to indicate that a stronger signal is required from the other communication unit. If the other unit is a remote base station 550, the radio 500 does not need to send out request for higher level transmission because it always transmits at a high level.
Thus, by controlling the output power level with a stage of amplification that may be bypassed, both stages of amplification may be biased for efficient operation. Therefore, the output power level may be reduced without significant reduction in efficiency.

An algorithm written in Java should be faster than the same algorithm written in JRuby, right?.
However, if I write the algorithm in Java and then call it from JRuby, will I still get the performance advantages of java?
I ask this because I am writing a very complicated utility class for my JRuby on Rails app and need to choose whether to do it in Java or JRuby.
So, if I use the following code:
class UtilitySampleWrapper
include Java
require 'utility.jar' #could also use .js class files if that makes a difference

NEW YORK LAW JOURNAL COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA Friday, December 1, 2000 CAN YOU GO TO JAIL FOR TELLING THE TRUTH? By James C. Goodale Can you go to jail or otherwise be penalized for telling the public the truth? In this country the answer has been generally "no," but that may change when the U.S. Supreme Court decides a case presently before it called Bartnicki v. Vopper. Frederick Vopper was a radio talk show host. In 1993 he broadcast part of a taped conversation between Bartnicki, a union negotiator, and Anthony F. Kane, a co- negotiator. On the tape, Mr. Kane said to Bartnicki that if the employer didn't agree to the union's requests, "we're gonna have to go to their homes . . . to blow off their front porches." The remark was hyperbolic but obviously attracted a lot of attention. The two negotiators sued Mr. Vopper and his radio station for broadcasting taped information in violation of the Federal Wiretapping Act. Mr. Vopper had not taped the conversation. Someone else had and then sent it anonymously to a union opponent who, in turn, gave it to Mr. Vopper. The Federal Wiretapping Act penalizes anyone who "discloses" taped information whether it is true or not and so Mr. Vopper was sued for telling the public the truth. He had no part in taping the call or in obtaining the tape. RIGHT OF PRIVACY V. FIRST AMENDMENT 136.doc Press lawyers are biting their nails over the case because it puts into play a major issue of the Information Age – whether the right of privacy trumps First Amendment freedom. The Supreme Court will decide Bartnicki next spring. With the invention of the cellular phone, Congress passed legislation to prevent the disclosure of information from unauthorized taping of cellular calls. The purpose was to protect the privacy of such calls. This law was similar to laws in some states that applied to old-fashioned phone calls. Remember Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp? Maryland indicted Ms. Tripp for taping her conversations with Ms. Lewinsky, though the charges were dropped after testimony by Ms. Lewinsky was suppressed. Linda Tripp made the tapes at the suggestion of Lucianne Goldberg. Ms. Tripp then gave the tapes to her lawyer, James Moody, who in turn passed them on to Mike Isikoff of Newsweek. That magazine held its story past deadline; Drudge Report scooped Newsweek and the rest is history. It would, of course, have been unthinkable if Ms. Lewinsky had been able to sue Newsweek or Drudge for publication of that information, although it is hard to imagine any greater violation of one's privacy. Such a suit by Ms. Lewinsky would have seemed bizarre. The information on the tapes was true and its publication was in the public interest. Why then, should there be any difference if Mr. Vopper broadcast tapes of intemperate remarks by a union negotiator? It is hard to see. But courts are having a hard time with the language of the Wiretapping Act, which says it is illegal to "disclose" the contents of a taped conversation. 2 136.doc Clearly, the word "disclose" applies to someone like Ms. Tripp who tapes the conversation and effectively discloses it to Newsweek as she did. But does it apply to Newsweek, or even a Web site that plays no role in the interception but merely "discloses" the information when the information is true? In fact, no one in the media ever thought it did. From the beginning of journalistic time, the press has generally published the truth without giving a second thought as to its source. The Pentagon Papers is the best example of that. Daniel Ellsberg may have violated the Espionage Act when he took the papers from the Rand Corp. and gave them to The New York Times. The Supreme Court decided that even if Mr. Ellsberg may have broken the law, that breach could not stop publication by The Times. Despite this decision, three major lower federal courts (including Mr. Bartnicki's) have struggled with the issue of whether "disclose," as used in the Wiretapping Act, reaches people other than those who do the taping. One court decided that when a television station broadcast the truthful details of a bribe overheard on a cordless phone call, it could be successfully sued (Peavy). A second court decided a congressman (Rep. James McDermott, D-Wash.) could be sued for delivering to The New York Times a copy of a tape that caught Rep. Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. in admissions amounting to a violation of his ethics agreement with Congress. (McDermott). Mr. Bartnicki's case is the only one of the three to reach the Supreme Court. While the lower court decided that case in favor of the radio station and Mr. Vopper, it struggled to reach its decision. The court applied a thoroughly diluted First Amendment test under O'Brien, a case First Amendment lawyers love to hate (see "Knocking Web 3 136.doc Sites – In Part Off The Air," New York Law Journal, Oct. 6, 2000) and found the wiretap law to be unconstitutional as applied to Vopper. This victory, however, was on such narrow grounds that press lawyers are in a nervous frenzy that the Supreme Court will reverse years of journalistic tradition of publishing truth no matter what its source. CELL PHONES, THE PRESS AND TAPES What the question comes down to is this – should the privacy of the parties to a cellular phone conversation trump the rights of the press to communicate it to the public if the press has not taped the call itself? It has always been the law that the press can publish the truth about individuals' privacy, unless the information is not newsworthy and such publication is highly offensive to a reasonable person. And apart from Peavy and McDermott described above, there are few, if any, court decisions to the contrary. Since Mr. Vopper's broadcast was highly newsworthy and did not involve offensive intimate facts, any decision from the Supreme Court that does not accord Mr. Vopper the highest protection would be a setback to the First Amendment. The Right of Privacy should not trump the First Amendment. ________________________________________________________________________ James C.

Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.
Please note: We are at full application in Lancaster. Limited places still available in Carlisle.
* Based on results from course - Diagnostic Radiography, National Student Survey 2014
At the University of Cumbria you can study Diagnostic Radiography at either Carlisle or Lancaster. You will be on a three-year, full-time course of study utilising state-of-the-art imaging equipment and a contemporary curriculum which, in combination, are the envy of many other Radiography centres in the UK.
We have created clinical skills labs which replicate a hospital X-ray department (one of our labs is actually situated in a hospital close to the University giving access for students to a patient centred environment early in their course) and this set-up is focussed towards giving you the edge over other job applicants when you enter the clinical workplace.
You will study in a friendly, informal, yet professional environment and as approximately 50% of the course is undertaken in a partner clinical centre, your professionalism and interpersonal approach will need to excel. We also offer many postgraduate options for further study in the medical imaging field and have a reputation for high-level engagement in a specialist international research environment.
On completion of the course you are eligible to apply for registration as a fully qualified radiographer with the Health and Care Professions Council and the Society and College of Radiographers. Our graduates have a reputation for clinical excellence, and many find jobs in this region. After a period of post-qualifying experience, some students choose to work abroad, in Australia and New Zealand, for example.
We have exceptional university-based clinical facilities on each of our campuses which are designed to provide students with a range of clinical skills. Take a look at our learning resources pages.
Year One
This year provides you with the foundations to be able to complete the degree to a high standard. Although you will be competent in your chosen areas of study, we are aware that you will not have studied radiography as a subject before and we therefore use this year to ensure that you are in a good position to start the degree course proper in the second year. First year subjects will include:
Year Two
Year Three
For detailed summary of all course content please read our programme specification for this course (PDF).
The first year has been designed to enable you to succeed, even if your previous knowledge of a particular subject area is limited (for example, physical science). It gives you a broad foundation of knowledge on which to build in subsequent years. In year one, the course is practical in focus and fully utilises the university digital imaging skills labs to help you to make the links between theoretical and clinical aspects of medical imaging.
Clinical placements occur throughout the course. In total, about 53 weeks are spent in clinical departments of hospitals in Barrow-in-Furness, Blackburn, Lancaster, Kendal, Preston, Blackpool, Burnley, South Shields, Sunderland, North Tyneside, Wansbeck, Carlisle and elsewhere in the North of England. Your preferences are taken into account when allocation is made.
In your second and third years you are encouraged to seek an elective placement for up to four weeks. This allows you to broaden your experience of radiography. Students often use this opportunity to study abroad, with Australia and New Zealand being popular options. All our placements offer the full range of clinical facilities, including general radiography, ultrasound, computerised tomography, radionuclide (gamma camera) imaging and magnetic resonance imaging. You spend most of your time in one clinical department to encourage you to develop your competence rather than constantly learning a new set of hospital procedures. A high percentage of the course assessment is directly related to practical experience.
300 tariff points from maximum of 3 A Levels, to include A-Level in Science at grade B or above. Also to include GCSE in English Language, Mathematics and Science (Physics, Biology, Chemistry or Combined Science) at grade C or above.
Find out more about qualification options from the UCAS tariff table.
Please check selection criteria for any additional entry requirements.
A central part of the admission process is to attract candidates whose values and behaviours are aligned with those enshrined in the NHS constitution. This will be assessed through the University selection process. Student selection is based on: academic qualifications; the quality of your personal statement; the outcome of your clinical visit and your performance on the interview day.
In addition to a minimum of 5 GCSEs (A*- C) to include English Language, Mathematics and Science (Physics, Biology, Chemistry or Combined Science) you will need to meet one of the following:
You are required to visit an NHS radiography department and submit the evaluation forms (available to download below), preferably before you are invited for interview.
Download visit form for students
Download visit form for co-ordinators
Both forms must be completed (one by the applicant regarding their visit and one to be completed by the hospital visited). An offer of a place is conditional on a successful clinical visit.

Thanks Everyone for all my Gotcha Day pressies, pictures and well wishes! It's so nce to feel such love from all my pals! Mom's computer is completely dead (she ordered another new battery, but its lookin' more and more like she's going to have to get a new one. She doesn't really want to cause all our pictures she's made over the years are on here, and even though she's saved them on a flash drive, it won't be the same as going to the folders she's created to pull them up like she does now. Maybe someone here in town can merge the old into the new.) Anyway, I digress. I wanted to let my pals who made me pictures know why I can't post them on my page right now from the laptop, and we can't do it with the Kindle. I'll post them as soon as the new battery comes in.

Mom brought home a dog that looks just like Doo and her name is Dee. (That was HER name, mom didn't name her.) She's a 5 y.o. Weimaraner. Her family couldn't give her a lot of attention and she was basically kept outside, so they wanted to give her away, and mom was the lucky (??) one to get her.

text: The The Rawhide Kid wiki last edited by ComicBookMan25 on 02/07/15 07:49AM View full history Rawhide Kid Volume 1Continued from Rawhide Kid. The Rawhide Kid's adventures were previously chronicled by Atlas Comics from 1955-1957, in Rawhide Kid issues 1-16. While under Atlas, the kid was a tall, confident do-gooder who believed in following and upholding the law, no matter what. In a Batman-like moment, he adopts a young boy named Randy whose father was murdered by an outlaw. When Marvel took over in 1960, they picked up the numbering from the previous series, but virtually nothing else. The Rawhide Kid was revamped to be a diminutive red-head who found himself an outlaw after a misunderstanding following a gun fight.The series ran from 1960 to 1979 for a total of 151 issues.

Bruins Talk
Last year Tyler Seguin got a Stanley Cup Champions tattoo, this year he went a different way.
Joe Haggerty analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the Devils and Kings . . . and picks a winner.
The biggest question facing the Los Angeles Kings will be whether they were too good for their own good.
Bill Plaschke from the Los Angeles Times says the bandwagon is filling up for the Los Angeles Kings.
If you're moaning and groaning because the Devils are in the Stanley Cup, then you haven't watched them much this season. They're ready to win in a different way than prior Cup teams.
Bill Ranford was formerly a member of the Boston Bruins on two separate occasions in the 1980's and 90's. Now a goalie coach in Los Angeles, he's still connected to the B's in ways.
Pro Hockey Talk boys have Bryce Salvador excelling in the playoffs for the Devils after losing out last year.

Cate Blanchett in Silver Maison Martin Margiela Dress
Next to Cate, Did Rooney Play It Too Safe?
It's a safe bet that when Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara attend the same event, there will be more than one red carpet look to remember. The actresses proved just that yesterday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where Cate took home the outstanding performance of the year award.
And while Cate shimmered like her prize in a heavily beaded cocktail dress by Maison Martin Margiela, Rooney — who presented Cate with the award — opted for a chic black dress with lace detailing along its cutout sleeves. Even though their dresses couldn't have been more different, both style stars kept the jewelry to a minimum and finished their looks off with shoes that matched their dresses to a T. While we would love to have either (or both!) of these dresses in our wardrobes, we're left wondering which one you liked better! Let us know, below.

First Live Birth- Final Entry
First Live Birth
The scientists at the Moseby Center for the Study of Artificial Life are very excited today, as the announcement of the first bio mechanical marine life form is finally giving birth. After many unsuccessful tries, the baby appears to be healthy and they are hoping to extract her today. "The implications, the experiments, we can't wait to see how she came out, what she's really made of!" one scientist said. There are reports of the "mother" of the mechanism lashing out and injuring scientists, as she has had over 300 miscarriages and is reported to be "unusually protective". Security at the Moseby Center assures that everything is under control.
This was an incredibly long month, but a rewarding one. I think I'm ready to call it quits on this old girl, I learned so much from this contest and now my brain needs time to rest Thanks to everyone that offered advice, I can't wait to see how everyone's came out!

I like the idea. I think it could develop into a really nice image.
As it stands right now, I think it needs a bit more implied in terms of narrative/story. When I look at it I get there is a strong emotion, perhaps something important happening, mechanical vs organic, etc. but I do not necessarily relate the image to the theme of birth/rebirth/new birth and whatever else goes around it.
best of luck
June 17th, 2009 #3
You'll probably want to redraw the organism and character, as right now they're not in perspective.
June 17th, 2009 #4
Hey Guys, thanks for the constructive criticism!
pauscorpi- thanks, I knew it wouldn't be very obvious right now, I have several ideas but I didn't want to just start scribbling all over my sketch. The sac that she's carrying is holding her babies, but I'm still thinking about how I want to do them.
Liffey- yea unfortunately I drew the character first and then started thinking about perspective of the environment afterward. I honestly never understood how to draw a character like this in perspective, with everything twisting around. I'll figure it out This is in no way a final sketch though, I almost never bother with lineart.
I did a bit more last night, exploring color. I'll put it up in a bit.
June 19th, 2009 #5
I have a real problem with posting progress work. But, I do have some saves so I'll put them up as well.
June 19th, 2009 #6
And last night I made some dramatic changes, after playing with the background perspective for like 2 hours:

Your values are wicked good, but I don't understand where the light source is coming from that is spilling on top of her.
You nailed the reflective red light though,

This is barely enough work to warrant a new post, but I'm avoiding moving on to the background sooo...
Made some color adjustments because I thoguht it was falling a bit flat. Still not sure if I actually like these colors either but they'll work for now. I need to find a way to make the sac appear transparent, I've never done that before. Suggestions are always helpful!
hala: thanks so much, I hope this one turns out good. I want to convey the feeling that she's trapped in either a sewer/well/something with a grate over it. And I've never done underwater so I need to figure out the depth and color.
Nickillus: Thanks! I do feel like its a bit cliche' right now,actually. I'm hoping to break out of it, or at least make it look good enough so no one cares that its cliche', hah!
Still working on it, will post more tonight.
June 20th, 2009 #10
oh i see it's gonna be underwater--that will be pretty kick ass I understand the light source now and where you're going with it--looking good!

June 30th, 2009 #12
So I left this alone for a while. I wasn't sure if I should come back to it, but when I reopened the image I started getting ideas again, so I returned to work last night. I'm having a bit of trouble on the values within the sac, I want it to look very pink but the newborn shouldn't entirely be. Maybe once I put some texture on it I'll figure it out.

APC's five major programs offer particularly unique insights into contemporary trends and developments in Africa:
- The African President-in-Residence Program is a Boston University-based residency program for former democratically elected African heads of state. It provides access to former leaders by allowing them a residency of up to two years at APC. During his/her tenure, the resident speaks at various venues throughout the United States, focusing on issues of political and economic development as they relate to Africa.
- The Public Papers/Private Conversations Project is an oral and documentary history project focusing on current trends and development in Africa. It provides APC with an opportunity to chronicle the present period of dynamic change in Africa through the "eyes of the architects" of those changes – past and present heads of state and public and private sector leaders in Africa.
- The African Leaders State of Africa Report is an annual report presenting the perspectives of select African heads of state relative to their respective countries and regions. The Report not only catalogues the "vision" and strategies of contemporary African heads of state for future generations of scholars, but it enables the dissemination of the "African point of view" to those presently involved in setting policy and shaping opinions about Africa.
- The African Presidential Roundtable is a gathering of former African heads of state, policy makers, and public sector leaders. Discussants come together to deliberate on issues of growth and development as they pertain to the continent.
- The APC American-African Universities Collaborative is a partnership between APC, HBCUs, and African Universities that is designed to provide students at the partnering institution with access to the full range of APC programs. Partnering institutions are: Boston University (MA); Medgar Evers College (NY); North Carolina A&T University (NC); Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia; Elizabeth City State University in Elizabeth City, North Carolina; the University of Ghana Legon in Accra Ghana; the University of Johannesburg and the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa; and the University of Dar es Salaam in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
