as a kid one of my favourite things in my parent's display shelf (you know, that place where they put all the strange odds and ends collected throughout a lifetime) was this fake shell belonging to my grandmother, that contained a japanese bonsai garden with a little house and a watermill that actually turned.
alexandra grecco has some sexy clothing (love that cut-out heart dress)
jim tierney designed an absolutely incredible series of book covers for four jules verne novels as part of his senior thesis (he is currently an illustration student at the university of arts in philadelphia). i would snap these up in a second if i spotted them in a book shop.
it's times like these when i wish i had millions in the bank so that i could collect art like a serious person. kamisaka sekka was a japanese artist who combined facets of western art & craftsmanship with traditional japanese (rimpa) painting. you can purchase some of his work at japan print gallery.
some rad stuff at creatures of comfort right now
i went for a long sunday walk last week in my neighbourhood forest, toting my camera along like a good girl, only to realise that i had left the battery in its charger back home. shit! these photos by capture the feeling of that walk (except a thousand times better than i might have done). the forests are also just slightly more amazing – just like heaven.
interior with napoleon – axel fridell
sometimes i hop skip & jump between blogs and suddenly find myself at some swedish fashion site that makes me go – oh, hello. luckily chrome automatically translates foreign websites for me (thanks google). i'm still not really sure what's going on at rodeo, but the shopping department has some nice stuff (talk about short shorts hey).

Sitting Pretty: The Carnation Sculpture
This modern display of traditional flowers reveals an interesting juxtaposition of shapes and textures: the feathery clumps of carnation petals set in a floral foam ball contrasts with the smooth-sided, angular vase the ball sits on.
Although this carnation sculpture looks impressive, it is simple to make. It would look stunning in an entrance hall or on a bar at a party. If you need to decorate tables, make up some smaller versions as table centerpieces.
45–50 red carnations
Hydrangeas make an ample substitute for carnations in this design, if you prefer them.
Other Materials
tall opaque cube vase (16 inches high)
1 floral foam ball (7 inches in diameter)
florist's scissors
How to Arrange
Check that the floral foam ball will sit securely on top of the vase. Soak it in water, place it on top of the vase and press it down slightly so that it is as secure as possible.
Cut the stems off the carnations at the point, known as the top node, where the uppermost leaves grow. This should leave a short stem of about 1 inch.
Starting at the top of the ball, press the carnation flower stalks into the floral foam. Work methodically, not randomly, pressing the flowers close enough to each other that the foam is completely covered, but far enough away from each other that you don't crush or bruise the flower petals. Work either in a spiral from the top, or downward in sections. Cover the whole ball so that no gaps are visible.
Insider Tips
- As with all floral foam arrangements, give the carnations a long drink in deep water before you cut off the stems and arrange them in the foam.
- Don't over-soak the foam ball, or it will start to crumble and fall apart. Place the ball in a bucket of water, allow it to soak up water just long enough to sink to the bottom, then lift it straight out.
- Mist the flowers regularly to get the maximum life span - three to five days - out of this arrangement.

Hydrangeas, with their impressive size, dense shape and multiple petals, are ideal for creating maximum impact with minimal ingredients. They are also one of the few flowers whose petals are coarse enough to tolerate sitting in water.
Pretty Blooms All in a Row: The Gerbera Line Arrangement
This fun, quirky display will suit a windowsill, hall table or serving table at a children's party. The base can be reused long after the flowers' freshness has faded: simply pull the old blooms out of the floral foam and insert fresh ones.

The First Mourning by William-Adolphe Bouguereau Then the Lord asked Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" He answered, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" - Genesis 4:9It was 1942, just after the Feast of the Visitation, that Thomas Merton received word. He was going to have a visitor. The two couldn't have been on more divergent paths. Thomas Merton was a novice aspiring to be a monk at Gethsemani, a Trappist monastery in Kentucky.

The Wisdom of Dickens' Second Ghost
As the second Advent candle is lit and the days are advancing to Christmas, my nostalgia climbs to new peaks. My tendency at this time of year is to flee the winter chill by imagining myself wrapped in an overwarm blanket, nestled in an overstuffed chair perched before an overstocked fire (I say "imagining" because this vision rarely comes to fruition). Nonetheless, the ornaments have been hung, the nativity scene arranged and Vince Guaraldi alternates with Nat King Cole on the … [Read more...]
"One Day, Not Far Off " – Advent & Liberation
"Christians used the word 'advent' to express their relationship with Jesus Christ: Jesus is the King who entered this poor 'province' called 'earth' to pay everyone a visit; he makes all those who believe in him participate in his Coming, all who believe in his presence in the liturgical assembly. The essential meaning of the word adventus was: God is here, he has not withdrawn from the world, he has not deserted us. Even if we cannot see and touch him as we can tangible realities, he is here … [Read more...]
Ferguson, Martin Luther King, Jr. & Being Honest About Protest
It's late - very late. It is the second night of protests in Ferguson, Missouri. It is the second night of reaction to the Grand Jury verdict not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown. The protests last night devolved to riots, looting and arson. Tonight the protests have spread to other major metropolitan areas. And the nation watches anxiously. This post is not going to discuss the guilt or innocence of Officer Darren Wilson. The legal system has spoken th … [Read more...]
The Pope, Conscience & the Clattering Train
It was April, 1935. And Winston Churchill, a lowly Member of the British Parliament, was beside himself. After all, the German Fuhrer had done it again. After being in power for a little over two years, German Chancellor (and de jure Dictator) Adolf Hitler had baldly & brazenly told his British counterparts that the German air force (the existence of which was outlawed by the Versailles Treaty of 1919) now equaled the British Royal Air Force in size. But Churchill's frustration wasn't so … [Read more...]
First Reconciliation & An Encounter with "An Absolute Beauty"
I'd never been to a retreat like this. This would be my first. I guess that's not surprising given my late arrival to Catholicism, converting only four years ago. But now, my oldest daughter (a second-grader) was about to take part in her First Reconciliation. So I found myself on Saturday morning arriving with my wife and daughter at our church's retreat to prepare for this Holy Sacrament. Starting us off, the deeply thoughtful yet puckish Director of Children's Faith Formation, Andrew Allen, … [Read more...]

The TT was Classic, The Circuit Race was the best of the Roubaix and the hill climb was excellent. Maybe a little easier climb next next time to get the non climber in the race and give them a chance to be competitive.

Please note, the "jon" listed in the above comment is not Jon Tarkington from earlier in the comments on this race.
Reply to: 2015 - Boulder Stage Race
I'll give my personal reasons for not racing.
1) TTs require a full-blown TT rig to be competitive any more, and I don't want to spend the money for a bike that gets raced a few times a year.
2) Dirt circuit race. I'm just not into racing on dirt roads. I know it's the hottest thing lately, but there are plenty of early-season races and cross races for that.
I'll put my hard-earned cash on races I want to do. I certainly appreciate that WOL put on a stage race and the racers enjoyed it.
Reply to: 2015 - Boulder Stage Race
I'm a native Coloradan and grew up in Area Code 303, Boulder and Longmont. Thanks to the Interwebs, it's actually 34.8 miles and between 49 and 56 minutes away from Boulder. Golden is closer at 21 miles, but would you consider going there for the 2nd or 3rd stage of the Boulder Stage Race? I know, it's all semantics, but if you have a Carter Lake Stage, why not call it something like the Front Range Stage Race? Just throwin' ideas out there.
Reply to: 2015 - Boulder Stage Race
No, Jon... you have it wrong. Those who attend races they don't like, without making any comments, THEY're the problem as it tells promoters it's okay to put on crap races without fear that folks won't show up.
Reply to: 2015 - Boulder Stage Race
You do realize that Carter Lake is less than 20 miles from Boulder, don't you?

Holiday leads Sixers past Jazz 99-93
Before the game, injured Sixers center Andrew Bynum said he had suffered a "setback" in his return from a knee injury. Bynum said he now has swelling and a bone bruise on both knees and his target date of Dec. 10 for basketball activities is in limbo.
Bynum said he is still hoping for that December date, with one to four weeks of basketball-related activity to follow, pushing his much-anticipated Philadelphia debut to as late as mid-January.
That news didn't shake the Sixers, who still have home games coming up against Cleveland on Friday and Toronto on Tuesday.
Entering play on Friday, Philadelphia was 29th in the league in shooting percentage (40.1 percent) as well as scoring with an average of 88 points per game. It shot 46 percent (40 for 87) against Utah while beating its season scoring average.
"Anytime you get a win against a good team, it's huge," Richardson said. "You don't want teams coming in and feeling like they can beat you."
The Sixers led by as many as 12 points in the first half and took a 52-43 advantage into the locker room.
NOTES: The Sixers were 9 for 10 from the free-throw line. ... Carroll knocked down all six of his field-goal attempts, including one 3-pointer, and all four of his free throws. . Millsap was 2 for 4 from beyond the arc, pushing his season 3-point total to 10 for 17.

Challenges Confronting DOD's Ability to Coordinate and Oversee Its Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices Efforts
GAO-10-186T: Published: Oct 29, 2009. Publicly Released: Oct 29, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8365
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Improvised explosive devices (IED) are the number-one threat to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, accounting for almost 40 percent of the attacks on coalition forces in Iraq. Although insurgents' use of IEDs in Iraq has begun to decline, in Afghanistan the number of IED incidents has significantly increased. The Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) was created to lead, advocate, and coordinate all DOD efforts to defeat IEDs. Its primary role is to provide funding to the military services and DOD agencies to rapidly develop and field counter-IED solutions. Through fiscal year 2009, Congress has appropriated over $16 billion to JIEDDO. In addition, other DOD components, including the military services, have devoted at least $1.5 billion to the counter-IED effort--which does not include $22.7 billion for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles. This testimony is based on a report that GAO is issuing today as well as preliminary observations from ongoing work that GAO plans to report in early 2010. In the report being issued today, GAO is recommending that JIEDDO (1) improve its visibility of counter-IED efforts across DOD, (2) develop a complete plan to guide the transition of initiatives, and (3) define criteria for its training initiatives to help guide its funding decisions. DOD generally concurred with GAO's recommendations and noted actions to be taken.
Since its creation, JIEDDO has taken several steps to improve its management of counter-IED efforts. For instance, GAO's ongoing work has found that JIEDDO has been improving the management of its efforts to defeat IEDs, including developing and implementing a strategic plan that provides an overarching framework for departmentwide efforts to defeat IEDs, as well as a JIEDDO-specific strategic plan. Also, as noted in the report GAO is issuing today, JIEDDO and the services have taken steps to improve visibility over their counter-IED efforts, and JIEDDO has taken several steps to support the ability of the services and defense agencies to program and fund counter-IED initiatives. However, several significant challenges remain that affect DOD's ability to oversee JIEDDO. Some of these challenges are identified in GAO's report being released today along with recommendations to address them. For example, one challenge is a lack of full visibility by JIEDDO and the services over counter-IED initiatives throughout DOD. Although JIEDDO and various service organizations are developing and maintaining their own counter-IED initiative databases, JIEDDO and the services lack a comprehensive database of all existing counter-IED initiatives, which limits their visibility over counter-IED efforts across the department. In addition, JIEDDO faces difficulties coordinating the transition of funding responsibility for joint counter-IED initiatives to the services, due to gaps between JIEDDO's transition timeline and DOD's base budget cycle. JIEDDO's initiative transitions also are hindered when service requirements are not fully considered during JIEDDO's acquisition process. JIEDDO also lacks clear criteria for defining what counter-IED training initiatives it will fund and, as a result, has funded training activities that may have primary uses other than defeating IEDs. Additionally, GAO's ongoing work has identified other oversight challenges. For example, JIEDDO lacks a means as well as reliable data to gauge the effectiveness of its counter-IED efforts. GAO's work has identified several areas in which data on the effectiveness and progress of IED-defeat initiatives are unreliable or inconsistently collected. In some cases, data are not collected in-theater because the initiatives may not be designed with adequate data-collection procedures. Another challenge facing JIEDDO is its inconsistent application of its counter-IED initiative acquisition process, allowing initiatives to bypass some or all of the process's key review and approval steps. Further, JIEDDO lacks adequate internal controls to ensure DOD that it is achieving its objectives. For example, in July 2009, JIEDDO reported that its internal controls system had a combination of deficiencies that constituted a material weakness. Such a weakness could adversely affect JIEDDO's ability to meet its objectives. Finally, JIEDDO has not developed a process for identification and analysis of the risks it faces in achieving its objectives from both external and internal sources, and it has not assessed its performance over time or ensured that the findings of audits and other reviews have been promptly resolved. As GAO completes its ongoing work it expects to issue a report with recommendations to address these issues.

Pandan Magazine File 7 7
Good solution for holding music Bought these to hold music on a nice bookshelf and they look great. But, because they are made with leaves, you must handle gently or the ends can fray. December 21, 2013
Perfect for periodicals High quality and durable. Soft inside lining and external finish suitable to put on a bookshelf. Excellent storage for a magazine collection. I just wish there was a slot to place an external label (i.e. National Geo 1968-72). April 14, 2012
Classy The magazine files are very attractive, classy and substantial. They will add elegance to the office. We may decide to add other pieces to organize the office in style. January 23, 2012
very sturdy It looks stylish and sturdy. It has nice thick liner, so contents don't rub the woven material held back from the outside surface. March 3, 2011
sturdy magazine storage these look great on my desk and keep all my cooking magazines in one place! May 29, 2010
Great magazine storage! Like many people, I have lots of magazines around the house. I give many away to doctor's offices and/or hospitals after reading...but, what about the ones I like to keep - especially for crafting ideas or home decorating? I was on the hunt for a sturdy magazine holder, and this one is not only functional, but can be displayed as well. The Container Store does it again! May 18, 2010
Mail organizer We have this in black and use it in conjuction with another Pandan product to keep our mail organized and together. March 3, 2010

text: Vt.: Lawmakers Hike Minimum Wage, but Turn Down Paid Sick Leave By Rita Zeidner 5/20/2014 Permissions The Vermont legislature voted overwhelmingly to hike the state minimum wage to $10.50 by 2018. The measure, passed in the 11th hour of the legislative session that ended May10, raises the minimum wage in phases, from $8.73 to $10.50 by 2018. The wage will jump to $9.60 in 2016, $10 in 2017 and finally $10.50 in 2018. It will be indexed to inflation in subsequent years. Gov. Peter Shumlin is expected to sign the bill. However, supporters of a paid sick leave law had their hopes dashed when the legislature failed to act on H. 208. At the beginning of the session, backers of the bill felt they had enough votes in the House to pass the measure. But much of that support had eroded by early spring, in part due to pressure from the state's small-business lobby. Growing support for the minimum wage bill may also have worked against a sick leave. In 2011, Connecticut became the first state to mandate paid sick leave. A survey of Connecticut employers released earlier this year by the Center for Economic and Policy Research and the City University of New York suggests that the cost for businesses has been minimal. "The many carve-outs and the fact that the vast bulk of the state's employers covered by the law—those with 50 or more employees—already provided paid sick leave to at least some of their employees are among the factors limiting the impact," the report concluded. Researchers saw the largest increases in paid sick leave coverage in the health, education and social services, hospitality and retail industries. Part-time workers, rarely covered before the law took effect, benefited disproportionately from its passage, they found. Few employers reported abuse of the new law, and many noted positive benefits such as improved morale as well as reductions in the spread of illness in the workplace. "A year and a half after its implementation, more than three-quarters of surveyed employers expressed support for the earned paid sick leave law," the study concludes.

Cookie cutter metalcore is so rampant, it was only inevitable that a country like Australia become infested, as I Killed the Prom Queen and Parkway Drive arrive from Oz with a modest amount of hype. The trouble is, we've heard this stuff so much, who the hell cares? In the case of Parkway Drive, it's just more of the same melodic death metal riffs, more of the same one-note breakdowns, more of the same tone-deaf screaming, more of the same ubiquitous Adam Dutkiewicz production… just more of the same. It's tight, and the dual guitar harmonies of Luke Kilpatrick and Jeff Ling are admirable, but there's absolutely nothing here that differentiates this band from every other young American metalcore band polluting the OzzFest second stage. Sure, this will entertain rebellious 12-year-old children who have never heard At the Gates or even As I Lay flippin' Dying, but for the rest of us who have to put up with the dozens and dozens of new metalcore bands that are completely devoid of an original idea, it's a complete waste of time. Enough, already.

"Domodedovo, the newest access to Moscow" Domodedovo by JLBG
Domodedovo Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 2 photos
Just back from Domodedovo airport and a week (7-14 April) in Moscow. It will take some time before I will be able to build a Moscow page but I can't wait to add a large blue strip on my VT map, haha!
VT speaking, better visit the third Rome (Moscow) than the first Rome (the Vatican) : Moscow will add 17.075.400 km2 of blue while the Vatican will add only 0.44 km2 !
The weather was all the time one or two levels better than what was expected! Actually, the weather changes very fast in Moscow and every day, we had sunny periods. Some days they were almost day long, others shorter. Everyday but one, we had snow showers, sometimes thick. And one day a few drops of rain. A perfect weather to visit the city and walk in the streets…
There are two Domodedovo in Moscow oblast. I hope this is the right one!

The second Rome is Byzance/Constantinople (posted also on mumymama HP)
What is the 2-nd Rome? I am really intrigued:)
ça me donne envie de retourner à moscou
Ooops! Is that all??!!
another interesting photo here of many on your site!Been thinking of heading for Russia for the White Nights festival instead of the Fes Music Festival in Morocco - or do Russia in Sep/Oct and therefore have both?
So what is the second Rome?
Looking forward to your page here. You made it to the Third Rome but did you get to The New Jerusalem? Leyle

A receiver for receiving an analog signal that is digitally modulated using differential binary phase shift keying (DBPSK) and demodulated by a quadrature demodulator into two signals. The receiver converts the two signals into two digital signals using 2-bit analog-to-digital converters. Samples of these digital signals are then encoded according to a maximum likelihood criteria algorithm and decisions are made based on the signal constellation, which identifies the original data transmitted.

9. The method of
The present invention relates to data communications, and more particularly, to methods and arrangements for recovering digitally modulated data in a differential phase shift keyed signal.
Differential phase shift keying (DPSK) is a digital modulation technique that is used to encode information in a signal prior to transmitting the signal to one or more receivers. The information in a DPSK modulated signal is carried by the transition between distinct digital states rather than the absolute digital state, hence the term differential. There are several DPSK modulation techniques, including, for example, differential binary phase shift keying (DBPSK) and differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK).
In DBPSK modulation, the phase of a constant amplitude carrier signal shifts between two positions, for example, 0 degrees and 180 degrees. As such, two distinct digital states are provided, for example, a binary "0" at 0 degrees and a binary "1" state at 180 degrees.
In DQPSK modulation, the phase of a constant amplitude carrier signal shifts between four positions, typically in increments of 90 degrees (e.g., 45, 135, −135 and −45 degrees). As such, DQPSK signals typically provide four distinct digital states, for example, a binary "00" at 45 degrees, a binary "01" at 135 degrees, a binary "10" at 225 degrees (or −135 degrees), and a binary "11" at 315 degrees (or −45 degrees).
In both DBPSK and DQPSK, information is differentially encoded in the transition from one state to the next, and/or a lack of thereof. As such, there is no need to recover or track the carrier signal within the receiver, as there would be in a receiver that is configured to demodulate conventional phase shift keyed signals. Instead, the receiver only needs to identify the relative phase shift between two adjacent bits to identify the information contained in a differentially encoded signal. This tends to simplify the design of the receiver. For example, a single channel receiver can be used to receive and demodulate a DBPSK signal.
There are, however, problems with single channel receivers. For example, a single channel receiver needs to provide an accurate delay time between bits in order to properly detect the phase shift and demodulate the signal. Further, small differences or jitters in the delay time tend to increase the resulting bit error rate (BER).
To avoid such problems quadrature demodulation of DBPSK signals can be employed. By applying quadrature demodulation techniques to a DBPSK signal, phase vectors are produced, which form a constellation when mapped on to a complex plane. The location of the resulting data points in the constellation can then be used to identify the "true" value of the originally encoded data.
Identifying the "true" value of the originally encoded data is further complicated by changes that occur to the DBPSK signal during transmission. For example, the medium through which the signal is transmitted typically alters the signal by "twisting" or otherwise changing the phase if either the sine and/or cosine signals within the transmitted signal. As such, the received phase of one or more of the components in the received signal may be different from the transmitted phase.
To correct for unwanted phase changes, the sender and receiver will typically attempt to characterize the affects of the medium during an initial transmission sequence. For example, the sender may send a series of differentially encoded binary 1's to the receiver for a specified duration. The receiver will then attempt to recognize the series and possibly identify the characteristics of the medium. A conventional receiver accomplishes this by sampling the received signal and applying certain decisions, for example, using logic circuitry, to increase the probability of correctly determining the original data sent based on the constellation. Such decisions can be represented in a decision or constellation table.
Since there are many dynamic and static factors involved in a transmission, different constellation tables (and logic) have been created in an effort to provide reduced BERs. For example, in certain receivers advanced logic is combined with highly accurate analog-to-digital converters to sample the received analog sine and/or cosine signals and determine the vector intercepts in the constellation. While such complex receivers tend to have lower BERs, they can be very costly.
Therefore, as can be appreciated, there is a continuing need for improved methods and apparatus for use in receiving DPSK signals. Preferably, the methods and apparatus will be simple and cost effective to implement, while also providing acceptably low BERs.
In accordance with certain aspects of the present invention, methods and apparatus are provided that allow differential encoded phase shift keyed signals to be received, demodulated and decoded using simple, cost effective sampling, decoding and decision techniques that result in a reasonably low bit error rate (BER).
For example, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an analog signal that is digitally modulated using differential binary phase shift keying (DBPSK) and transmitted over a communication medium, is demodulated by a quadrature demodulator into two signals that are then converted into two digital signals using 2-bit analog-to-digital converters. Samples of these digital signals are then encoded according to a maximum likelihood criteria algorithm and decisions are made based on the signal constellation, which identifies the original data transmitted.
In accordance with further aspects of the present invention, a method is provided for accurately identifying the original data within a differential phase shift keyed (DPSK) signal. The method includes the steps of taking a first digital sample of at least a portion of the DPSK signal at a first time, and taking a second digital sample of the at least a portion of the DPSK signal at a subsequent second time. Then the method includes producing a coded digital sample from the first and second digital samples. In accordance with certain further embodiments of the present invention, the first and second digital samples are 2-bit digital samples resulting from an analog-to-digital conversion of portions of the DPSK signal at different, closely-spaced, times, such as, for example, 100 nanoseconds apart. In accordance with still other embodiments of the present invention, the coded digital sample is produced by combining the 2-bit first digital sample with the 2-bit second digital sample to produce a 4-bit coded digital sample. In accordance with still further embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus also includes a receiver that is configured to receive a transmitted DPSK signal and output at least a portion of the transmitted DPSK signal to the sampler as the DPSK signal.
A more complete understanding of the present invention may be had by reference to the following Detailed Description and appended claims when taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is constellation chart depicting the intersection in the complex plane for a phase shift keyed (PSK) signal shifting between two distinct digital data values, namely "0" and "1";
FIG. 2 is a block diagram depicting a receiving system configured to receive a differential phase shift keyed (DPSK) signal and reproduce the distinct digital data values contained therein; and
FIG. 3 is a table containing decision information that can be implemented to identify the distinct digital data values contained within a DPSK signal.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a constellation chart 10 depicting the intersection in the complex plane for a differential binary phase shift keyed (DBPSK) signal shifting between two distinct digital data values, namely "0" and "1", in accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention.
It has been found that the best demodulator for DBPSK signals, such as that Represented in FIG. 1, is a coherent demodulator. The coherent demodulator can be implemented by using a quadrature demodulator. For a DBPSK signal, the same symbol with the previous encoder output is symbolized as (Acos θ, and Asin θ), and the different symbol with the previous encoder output is (−Acos θ, and −Asin θ). In each case, "A" is the amplitude and θ is an unknown phase. The DBPSK signal is plotted in the signal space as shown in FIG. 1. The receiver measures the coordinates (SI0, and SQ0) at time t=Tb and subsequent coordinates (SI1, and SQ1) at time t=2Tb. For DBPSK, due to its differential nature, the task of detection is to decide if these two vectors are roughly in the same direction or not. If they are in the same direction, then a "1" is detected. Otherwise, if there not in the same direction, then a "0" is detected. Using inner product of the vector S0 and S1, this detection method is mathematically expressed as follows:
wherein superscript "T" denotes the transpose of the vector.
Thus, equations 1 and 2 can be expressed equivalently as:
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is depicted a block diagram of an exemplary DBPSK receiver 100 that takes advantage of equations 1 through 4 in receiving and processing a DBPSK signal, in accordance with the principles of tile present invention. DBPSK receiver 100 reproduces the distinct digital data values originally encoded within the DBPSK signal. As illustrated the DBPSK receiver 100 is separated into in-phase components 104 I-110 I and quadrature-phase components 104 Q-110 Q. Many of these components in DBPSK receiver 100 are clocked circuits/functions, as depicted by the clock input's open arrows. The clock is preferably recovered from the received composite signal using a conventional clock recovery circuit (not shown).
With this in mind, DBPSK receiver 100 includes an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 102 that receives an analog in-phase (I) signal and an analog quadrature-phase signal (Q), for example, from a quadrature-phase demodulator (not shown). A/D converter 102 converts the I and Q analog signals into digital bits or digital signals. In accordance with certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, A/D converter outputs samples of each of the signals (I and Q) at approximately the same time, for example, once every 100 nanoseconds, and outputs a 2-bit digital sample for each signal.
The resulting I digital signal from A/D converter 102 is then supplied to delay circuit 104 I and a latch 106 I. Similarly, the resulting Q digital signal from A/D converter 102 is supplied to delay circuit 104 Q and a latch 106 Q. Delay circuits 108 I and 108 Q are each configured to act as a 1-bit storage devices to store SI0 and SQ0, respectively. The outputs, following a delay time, from delay circuits 104 I and 104 Q are then supplied to latches 108 I and 108 Q, respectively.
Latches 106 I, 106 Q, 108 I and 108 Q are used for synchronization purposes, such that the appropriate data, in accordance with equations 3 and 4, is provided to respective multipliers 110 I and 110 Q. The resulting outputs from multipliers 110 I and 110 Q are provided to summation device 112. The output of summation device 112 represents the originally encoded data. It is noted that elements 104 I-110 I make up coding circuitry 114 I, and similarly elements 104 Q-110 Q make up coding circuitry 114 Q.
Using receiver 100, at each rising edge of the recovered clock, the data from the I and Q signals provides a data point in a two dimensional plane (see FIG. 1). The goal of differential decoding is to retrieve the original data that is encoded in the distance between two adjacent data points. Receiver 100 achieves this in two basic steps, namely a multiply step and a summation step.
For each channel (i.e., the I and Q signals), the product of the two adjacent outputs is calculated by multipliers 110 I and 110 Q. In this manner, the result is coded into a format that the decision making of the data distance in the two-dimensional plane can be accomplished by simply adding the results of the two channels, using summation device 112, rather than calculating the length of the vector.
FIG. 3 depicts a table 120 containing decision information that can be implemented in receiver 100, to identify the distinct digital data values contained within the DBPSK signal, in accordance with the present invention. As shown in table 120, the output of each channel is digitized at the clock rate into a 2-bit digital format. Thus, the possible outputs are 00, 01, 10, and 11. To preserve linearity of the data distance, the product of the adjacent data samples in each channel is coded according table 120. The coding occurs in multipliers 110I and 110Q, or other similarly configured logic. When the coded results for each of the channels are added together using summation device 112, the carrier to the upper level of the adder or adder function will yield the original data as encoded in the DBPSK signal.
Although certain embodiments in accordance with the present invention, are depicted in the accompanying Drawings and described in the foregoing text, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous rearrangements, modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth and defined by the following claims.

As a teacher, I understand that children have diverse experiences, needs, learning styles, and motivations. For the past twelve years, I have been a full-time parent and a full-time educator, with a passion for creating life long learners of students ages 3 to college-age. It is my desire to provide students with the requisite tools and skills essential to becoming motivated and successful learners in the 21st century.
Oftentimes, student success is a simply a function of assisting the student in finding meaning and relevance in the material to be learned. And sometimes, students may have a neurobiological challenge, such as dyslexia or auditory processing issues which have not been adequately addressed. And sometimes, a student's learning style is different than that of the instructor, thereby making it much more difficult for the student to comprehend information.
My parenting, teaching and tutoring experience, coupled with my Master's of Education degree in Brain-Based Teaching and Learning have provided me innumerable joyful opportunities to see the children in my life grow and prosper academically and personally. I am hopeful that I can assist you in providing that to your children as well. As a parent, I understand that we all want our children to be successful in their academic and personal endeavors.

I've also been a PSAT/SAT/ACT tutor.
As the owner/operator of a small private college-prep school, my end goal has always been success. One of the ways in which our society defines success is through college graduation. Having already navigated a number of students to acceptance (and sufficient financing) at public and private, in-state and out-of-state colleges, provides me with the knowledge and skill set to navigate additional students through this process. I have spent countless hours over several years, on the telephone with college admissions officers, college visits, consultations with financial aid and scholarship providers, as well as personally having successfully navigated my own (homeschooled) child into several highly selective colleges with full academic scholarships. I do understand the complexities of this process and enjoy assisting families through this sometimes overwhelming time in a student's life.
I have home-educated my own four children for the past 14 years teaching grades pre-k to early admission college level. For the past three years I have been director/administrator and lead teacher at a small private school in West Broward, with students ranging from 3 to 16. In addition, I have a Master of Education degree in Brain-based teaching and learning which provides specific training and education in the science of learning, particularly as it is implemented in the k-12 population.
I have an earned Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. During this time in college, I developed a strong interest in Genetics and pursued a concentration in this subject. I am currently teaching a course in biology with an emphasis on genetics. Furthermore, I have continued my education in this arena by enrolling in, and participating in, a biology course heavily emphasizing genetics and cell biology.
I have a Master of Science in Education in Brain-based teaching and learning. This education, along with 14 years of teaching my own children in a homeschool environment, as well as full-time tutoring of other students with diverse learning styles, provides me with ample ability and experience to teach others to read.
Furthermore, I understand that teaching phonics is most effective for some students, but not for all. The ability to assess each student's needs, and determine the most beneficial method of reading instruction is even more important, in my opinion, than the strict ability to teach "phonics".
I have more than 15 years experience instructing and tutoring students with special needs. I have been the primary instructor students with dyslexia, auditory processing issues, Aspeger's, and autism spectrum disorder. Furthermore, I have been employed by the Dan Marino Foundation, Inc. (a foundation devoted specifically to meeting the needs of children and students with special needs) as an instructor, job coach, and manager. My private client base includes students with a variety of learning challenges, including all of the above. I myself, was a gifted student, and understand that giftedness is also a special need, especially as it relates to a traditional classroom environment.
In addition to being an educator for 15 years, as well as a successful student in my own right, I earned a Master's of Science in Education, majoring in Brain-Based Teaching and Learning. These, in combination, have equipped me with the ability to transfer the skills I use, have learned, and recognize as being important to learning. An essential component of my master's program was understanding the "soft" skills necessary to be achieve. Most often bright students have difficulty in succeeding, not because of an inherent cognitive defect, but rather an inability to manage time, issues with spatial orientation, or deficits in note-taking strategies. In the world of work, I, as Job Coach for adults with learning challenges, recognize that employers need students that are creative, are prepared, and can think for themselves.

Rumplestiltskin always succeeds in his long term plans but being a reformed character, the rewards of success can only confirm him in his goodness. I must say that the show is amazingly positive about Rumple.

Farmers come with cups of woes, return dejected after no 'interaction' with Modi
Farmers in the state, who travelled several kilometers in the hope to reach out to BJP's prime-ministerial candidate Narendra Modi with their problems on Thursday, returned dejected, as many venues hosting the third round of Chai Pe Charcha programme lacked a video-conferencing facility that would have enabled a dialogue with the leader.
In the Savli area of Vadodara Constituency, from where Modi will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls (along with Varanasi), farmer groups arrived with questions to ask Modi about their plight and future. But the absence of an interactive system to go 'live' left them disappointed.
As farmers gathered at the Gandhi Chowk location in Savli over virtual tea with Narendra Modi, the buzz about having a prospective Prime Minister contest from here was accompanied by scepticism about the execution of the promises. Farmer groups from villages in Savli taluka, thus, arrived armed with a series of petitions for Narendra Modi at the venue.
While the organic farmers wanted Modi to include the issues of sustainable farming in his manifesto, some farmers from the Rajupura-Daulatpura village wanted to know how many more years would it take for their fields to get water through the canals built about 15 years ago.
Badri Patel, an organic farmer from Savli, who also heads the association of sustainable farming called 'Jabak' said, "I am here to ask him if he would consider promoting us. We are less than 1% of the farmers."
Farmers from Rajupura-Daulatpura village wanted to know why the Narmada river canal, built in the late 1990s, has remained dry, leaving farmers at the mercy of monsoon. Hitesh Patel, a farmer, who participated with a handwritten note for Modi said, "The dependency on monsoon for farming is one of the major reasons for farmer suicides. We have been petitioning the state government for several years that canals are dry, but there is no reply from them at all. If Modi is concerned about farmers and he is also contesting from here, he should give us a chance to raise these issues before him."
Similar was the case at Bakrana village in Sanand taluka of Ahmedabad district which is in close proximity to the automobile companies that have recently set up base in Gujarat. "I have come all the way from Kamijala, 70 kilometres from here (the venue), to tell Modi that due to Narmada canal construction in our village, water stagnates over most of the agricultural land throughout the year, making it unfit for even rice cultivation," said Bhanuben Parkar, the only female who reached the event at Bakrana. The venue chosen for the event was not a tea-stall, but a temple.
Some farmers who came to the event had come prepared with a set of issues pertaining to their problems. Though over 200 farmers were in …continued »

I would really need to use s2Member scripts related to "Membership Options Page [aka MOP] Variables", for instance for displaying dynamic information on my MOP page such as what the user / member was attempting to access before they were redirected to it.
s2Member plugin provides code snippets, e.g. :
<?php $_g = stripslashes_deep ($_GET); if (isset ($_g["_s2member_seeking"]["type"]) /* One of: page|post|catg|ptag|file|ruri */ ) echo 'You were trying to access a protected: ' . esc_html ($_g["_s2member_seeking"]["type"]) . '.';
My problem is: where should I put this kind of code?
Is it logical (I was said so...) and possible to put it in a custom page template (let's say: the 'pagemystwomember.php' file I created in my child theme and use for drag & drop) and affect this template to my s2Member MOP page?
Or should I rather put directly the code in my page (using a plugin like "Allow PHP in Posts and Pages"?
Many thanks in advance.

Sad news today for a very small group of people: on August 8, CNN will withdraw Eliot Spitzer's misbegotten prime-time roundtable, In the Arena (neée Parker Spitzer), from the airwaves. It will be replaced in time slot, though not in spirit, by Anderson Cooper 360.
According to Politico, though fewer than 100,000 young people (aged 25-54) dared venture into the Arena/mindlessly left the show on mute in the background while eating dinner each night, CNN is still hoping to find some use for Spitzer. "We are in discussions with Eliot Spitzer about an alternative role," a internal company memo revealed. Back in February, in a different internal memo, CNN announced that deposed co-host Kathleen Parker had left Spitzer's side to "focus on her writing." However, Spitzer famously hates column writing, so this would not be a suitable "alternative role."
In the Arena's Wikipedia page has already been edited to the past tense.
