2009 National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
- Download MP4 (14.7 MB)
[Announcer] This podcast is presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC - safer, healthier people.
Hello. I'm Dr. Kevin Fenton, Director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention.
February 7 is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day – a day to focus on stopping HIV in the black community—and building on the progress we are making towards ending the HIV epidemic.
The burden of HIV in African American communities is staggering and we cannot allow this crisis to continue. Today we have many more opportunities than ever before to stop HIV. There is hope amidst the crisis.
African Americans face the most severe rates of HIV infection in the nation. The harsh reality is that 1 in 16 black men will be diagnosed with HIV at some point in their lifetime, as will 1 in 30 black women.
And black gay and bisexual men and black women are particularly hard hit by HIV. Nearly two-thirds of new infections among black men occur among men who have sex with men. Black women are also disproportionately affected by HIV, with infection rates 15 times as high as those of white women.
To turn the tide, we all have to get real about this disease and about its causes. It is important to remember that being of black race or being of black ethnicity does not put you at increased risk for HIV.
However, some African Americans face unique challenges that may place them at an increased risk of contracting HIV. Relatively high prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases in black communities means that African Americans face a greater risk of HIV infection with each sexual encounter, compared with other ethnic groups.
Poverty and limited access to health care also increases the likelihood of HIV infection. Stigma and homophobia continue to keep HIV alive in our communities.
HIV is preventable and each of us can and must do our part. We all have to confront the realities about this disease and about its causes, and we all have to work together to stop the devastation of HIV in African American communities. In our own communities and across the nation, we must all agree that it is not acceptable for HIV/AIDS to continue to over-burden African Americans.
Here are some steps we can all take as a community. Together, we can join the many Black leaders and many communities who are speaking out against HIV. We can stand up against stigma, racism, and other forms of discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS. We can work together to ensure young Black Americans have the knowledge, the skills, the confidence and the motivation necessary to protect themselves against HIV for their entire lifetimes. As individuals, we can protect ourselves and our families from HIV.
CDC currently estimates that approximately one in five people living with HIV in the United States is unaware of his or her HIV infection. And this can lead to unknowingly transmitting the virus to others. So the first step to protect yourself and to protect others is getting tested for HIV. Prompt and early diagnosis of HIV is critical.
If you are diagnosed HIV positive, you can fully benefit from available life-saving treatments and take steps to prevent the spread of the disease. If you aren't HIV infected, you can protect yourself and your family from HIV.
Make February 7, Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, a day to take action on HIV because everyone and every action counts. Learn more about HIV—talk to others, your family members, your friends, (and) your partners about HIV. And if you have never had an HIV test, or if your last HIV test was some time ago, do consider getting HIV tested again.
Remember, you have the power to stop HIV in Black communities. You can learn more about HIV and AIDS at www.cdc.gov/hiv and you can also get information on where to get an HIV test at www.hivtest.org. That's hivtest.org. Thank you.

Okay, so I'm flying out of town tomorrow (going kidless!) for some meetings and I get to buy a pair of new shoes for walking/running while there from a REAL shoe store (well, atleast a shoe store as opposed to a department store like Wally world)!
Any suggestions? I've done some reading about how to select a shoe, but I get lost in the lasts and which way your feet turn, etc...LOL I need some stability and obviously some cushion. So should I just wing it with that? I walk/run on an asphault road, fyi.

In Mini Magazine July 14 Issue 226:
Star names and cool Minis have gone hand-in-hand since the 1960s, and they're still very much at it! In the July 2014 issue of Mini Magazine we catch up with AC/DC star Brain Johnson as he pilots his Cooper S racer around Goodwood, and meet some of the biggest names from the Mini's heyday at the inaugural MkI performance Mini Action Day.
And as well as top stars, we've got top cars too. Carl Jones' incredible KAD 16-valve hillclimber is about as perfect as a competition Mini can be, while James Conner's neat Paddy Hopkirk-themed saloon is a regular trophy winner at shows. For those who prefer their Minis a little more classic we've got a period-tweaked Austin Se7en and a Mk3 Riley Elf, while slab-front fans will love Carl and Becky Lewis' pair of unique custom 1275 GTs.
On the tech front, our resident guru Keith Claver assesses the best engine breather options, we look at how to boost 998cc engine power by 29 per cent and show you how to fit solid rear subframe mounts.

This year, for the second time in a row, I spoke with about a dozen ebook and book-publishing experts to get their predictions on what would happen in book publishing in 2013. I compiled the information and published this: Ten Bold Predictions for Ebooks and Digital Publishing in 2013.
The thing is, while I think these are solid predictions and will probably be more accurate than our predictions from last year (which have turned out to be really accurate — but more on that in the new year), it doesn't really scratch my personal itch for making predictions. These, of course, are the predictions of experts that I merely filtered and compiled. When do I get to make predictions?
1. Goodreads becomes a bookseller.
This one is a bit more than a prediction. I have spoke with three sources familiar with the matter (though none of them are at the company) that have given me credible background on the matter: Goodreads, the massive social network dedicated to books and readers, will turn into a bookseller in 2013. When I asked founder and CEO Otis Chandler about it earlier this year, he said "not yet." When I approached the company with my information and asked for comment, a spokesperson told me, "We don't comment on rumors or speculation."
Fair enough and time will tell but let's think about this for a second. Why not?
The company has more than 12 million registered users who are all there for books and reading — they share book recommendations, find out about new titles and build massive lists of books they intend to buy and read. It already drives a lot of book sales at partner retailers through affiliate links. And it has great relationships with publishers (aka, suppliers) that it can leverage to build stock. So, why wouldn't the company try to sell books?
Well, for one, it's risky. Goodreads would likely be giving up its affiliate revenue to go after this and what if people don't buy? Second, it doesn't currently sell an e-reading device, so for ebooks, at least, it needs to sell through an app (and give a cut to Apple or Google) or sell files that users will upload to another device. Not a great user experience, though some booksellers are doing it (unless it sold or gave away an e-reading device — not so far-fetched as the costs of those devices approach $0). And on the print side, there are a lot of logistics issues the company would have to solve.
That said, it's happening, folks. So get ready for a bookseller born of the social media era in 2013.
2. Ebook marketplace gets dynamic and goes beyond discounting.
Book-industry insiders have been privately talking amongst themselves about how the end of agency pricing for the major publishers (the end of their ability to limit discounting by retailers, basically — and slightly inaccurately, but fine) means the end of Barnes & Noble and every other Amazon competitor in the ebook space. The thinking is that Amazon will discount everything as much as it can, driving smaller players that can't afford to discount as much out of business.
First, I don't think this will happen. The most important factor for each of the major ebook retailers at this point is getting their devices into the hands of consumers. An owner of a Nook e-reader is likely buying her books on that device. So, as long as each of the retailers can continue to sell devices, they will continue to sell ebooks to the readers who use those devices. The bad news on that front is that e-readers are becoming less popular among consumers.
Second, I think the removal of discounting restrictions could be good for some of the smaller players in the marketplace. They can get creative with what they do with retail. It's already happening. Barnes & Noble has a program going in the days leading up to Christmas where in-store shoppers who buy an ebook from a pre-selected list can gift an ebook from that list to someone else. Translation: Barnes & Noble is giving away ebooks. That's a creative retail strategy. From short-term giveaways, to bundles to all sorts of creative deals, we're going to see this market get very interesting in 2013.

Some Central Valley Farmers looking to Recycled Wastewater
Many California farmers are in a tight spot this summer, because their normal water supplies have dried up with the state's extreme drought. In the state's Central Valley, that's driving some farmers to get creative: They're looking at buying water from cities — not freshwater, but water that's already gone down the drain.
The parched conditions in the valley, the state's farming hub, have been crazy. Actually, "crazy wouldn't adequately describe what we're going through here," says Anthea Hansen, who runs the Del Puerto Water District in the Central Valley. "Having zero water available — we've been in survival and crisis mode for literally 24 months now," she says.
What her district needs, she says, is a reliable supply — something that's there, drought or no drought. Continue reading

Agriculture Irrigation Technology Transforming Farming
Madera County farmer Tom Rogers thought he knew a lot about how to irrigate his family's 175-acre almond ranch. But several droughts, including the current four-year dry spell, made him reconsider his approach on how to get the most out of his ever-shrinking water supply.
For the last two years, Rogers has received no surface water, relying purely on groundwater wells to keep the ranch's trees alive and producing.
Nothing is taken for granted on the Rogers' farm, and nothing is wasted, especially water. Continue reading
Dramatic Benefits of Drip Irrigation System for Idaho Grower
For one Idaho Grower, the ultimate in water use efficiency on his farm boils down to two words: drip irrigation.
McKellip, who lives and works in the Treasure Valley north of Nampa, Idaho, installed his first drip irrigation — a Toro system — on one of RMF Farms' fields in 2011. He installed a second system the following year; then, in 2013, a third. That 2013 field was seeded into sugarbeets. Prior to those drip systems, all his fields were grown under furrow irrigation.
A drip-irrigated field of mint in 2012 yielded 133 pounds of mint per acre, compared to a nearby furrow-irrigated mint field that came off at 94 pounds. The bottom line was $585 more income per acre, along with significant savings in water and fertilizer use, combined with less labor, fuel, equipment usage and insecticide inputs. Continue reading

Farmer Solves Water Woes with Subsurface Drip Irrigation
When Jim Bahrenburg looks across the land he's worked in the Monument and Kimberly areas, he sees buried treasure.
That treasure isn't gold, but water.
Drawn from the North Fork John Day River, this water flows through small underground tubes to gradually irrigate blocks of land for crops. Starting on the North Fork Ranch in the Kimberly area, Bahrenburg said he first planted rye to choke out the thistles on what was just a neglected pasture, and then continued the transformation by planting row crops.
Today the land produces corn, onions, beets, peppers, squash and dill. Continue reading
An estimated $10 Million in Grants Available for California Agriculture
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is now accepting applications for the State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program (SWEEP), authorized by emergency drought legislation (Assembly Bill 91).
An estimated $10 million will be available for competitive grant funding to provide financial assistance to implement irrigation systems that reduce greenhouse gases and save water on California agricultural operations.
The funding is made available through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, the proceeds of California's greenhouse gas Cap and Trade program. Continue reading

Red Line Blood Infection Natural Cure
- By Justen Beers
- 20 January, 2011
- 5 Comments
What is this red line on me?
The benefits of knowing a natural cure for any health issue can be life saving and money saving. Usually a regular band-aid can do the trick to ward off infection from a cut or a scrape, however; sometimes after a cut or a scrape a band-aid can not fight an infection causing a red line to creep into the picture. The infection can also be referred to as sepsis. This red line means that you have an infection in you blood and you need to take care of it as soon as possible. If this is happening to you, do not stress! Stressing will only make the situation worse. Try this home remedy listed below that can solve your problem before going to the doctor and spending money and time in the hospital.
If the following cure does not work, go see a doctor. This is a natural cure, intended to be safe and more healthy for your body than taking antibiotics.
What can I do for a blood infection?
If you follow the recipe below, you will be able to cure your red line infection, quick and easy, from the comfort of your home.
The recipe is as follows:
- one tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- one tablespoon honey
- one tablespoon cinnamon
– Combine these ingredients together.
After combining those ingredients, put the mixture on your cut, scrape, or wherever the line is starting from and bandage it up.
Almost everyone has cinnamon, oil, and honey lying around their house so this should be a very cost efficient and time efficient remedy to try. The healing properties of these ingredients are very powerful in curing many different problems. It is just simply amazing what they can do. The cinnamon will draw out the infection, while the honey kills it and the olive oil heals the wound.
After a couple of hours you will see progress. Your red line will start fading and after a couple of days, your line will be complete gone and you will be cured. While doing this cure and waiting a few days, do not do any activities that will get more dirt in the cut or scrape. If you do, make sure you have it fully bandaged and covered so you are not going through the same thing again.
Cinnamon also fights metabolism issues, honey fights allergies, and oil heals the body. In fact, these three things can be used for many other illnesses as well.

I got a bug bite on my forearm and a sore on the topside of my arm……I have the red circular swelling around both and the red line connecting the two sores. I was horrified when I saw this and now a little relieved that I am not the only one on Earth with this affliction. I can't afford a doctor's visit, so I am trying this out. I don't have any olive oil, but cinnamon and honey seem to be the important part of this remedy. Thanks for this post:)
dont risk it! go to the ER! i cant believe your alive. lol
iwas ridding my bike and crashed, the result is a 2 skind palms and one skin knee..on knee and one palm are fine,,,but the other one looks good no smell or anthing just some redlines..any ideas? i lost myjob and dont have insureance but i need to find out what is going on
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation
but I find this topic to be actually something that
I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and
verybroad for me. I'm looking forward for your next

SOPA Protests Keep Kids From Researching SummerSlam
Categories: News
Tonight at midnight, Wikipedia shuts down for 24 hours to protest both House Bill 3261, more commonly known as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), and its related bill in the Senate, the PROTECT IP ACT (PIPA).
SOPA and PIPA have raised the hackles of Tweeters and Tumblrs and Lolcat artisans since they were first promulgated. SOPA's purpose is to stop the online dissemination of copyrighted material, but its methods strike the online community as too far-reaching. It allows a copyright holder (or the U.S. Department of Justice) to pursue legal recourse against a website that's using copyrighted material without permission, up to and including barring the offending website from appearing in search engines or doing business with online advertising networks and payment services, and prison time for users who rack up ten offenses in six months.
In short, if you use an image you don't own to make your next I Can Has Cheezburger?, you can has big trouble.
Reddit, BoingBoing and the Cheezburger Empire will also voluntarily shut down in solidarity for twelve to twenty-four hours tomorrow, depending on the site. While the issues at the heart of SOPA and PIPA are vital -- free speech and the rapid dissemination of information on the Internet vs. censorship and a return to the days when the only thing online were ASCII renderings of boobs -- you have to wonder how much impact it will have outside of the Internet.
This is Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX), the man who introduced SOPA. Does he look like he makes a lot of GraphJams?
|If he does GraphJam, they're most likely asset depreciation table jokes.
So if you head to Wiki tomorrow to find out what the basic themes in Goethe's Faust are, or to see a graphic representation of the Melvins' various bassists, or just to figure out who won SummerSlam, you're shit outta luck. Until Thursday.

Blueberries and Balsamic Vinegar in Pie?
They are having a buy-one-get-one-free offer on blueberries down at the market and I was going to make some pie. I was thinking of trying something different and adding some balsamic vinegar. I see lots of recipes for "blueberry balsamic vinegar" so they must go together. Has anyone ever tried this? Any other interesting additions to blueberry pie?

With DevExpress, when I drop a gridview control into a page with no width setting the grid will size itself according to header/row contents.
With Telerik, the gridview with no width property configured will expand to 100% of the width of the container it's in. I do not want to configure the width. I looked through several forum posts here and was unable to find a solution. Although I did attempt to change several settings while searching for a solution, this happens with all properties set to their default values.

Hi Kip,
Indeed, RadGrid expands itself to 100% by default, because its wrapper element is a <div> and not a <table>. Here is how to make the control shrink, according to its content:
Thanks... That solution works great. The main reason I use these controls is due to my lack of experience with the web piece... allows rapid development for native programmers.
One question, when using the css fix if I enable the scrolling option the control again expands to 100% width, how would I make it auto fit based on the contents with scrolling enabled? I'm really looking for a way to make this the default behavior... I don't want it expanding to 100% unless I specifically set the width property to 100%.
Hello Kip,
The concept of scrolling in CSS is tightly connected to some fixed size. Scrolling with auto-fitting content does not make much sense. Scrolling occurs when a child element is larger than its scrollable container. If the latter has no explicit dimensions, how will the browser determine how large the scrollable container should be?

text: Hi! When trying to use mindterm from the ports-collection (a JAVA-based ssh-client for X) which worked fine under OpenBSD2.9 i got this errror-message: $ /usr/local/jdk1.3.1-linux/bin/java -classpath\ /usr/local/jdk1.3.1-linux/lib/classes.zip:mindtermfull.jar\ mindbright.application.MindTerm ... java.lang.Error: Error in RandomSeed, while reading /dev/random at fp.yu(JAX) at fp.yt(JAX) at fp.ys(JAX) at fp.yq(JAX) at fd.ww(JAX) at ep.ur(JAX) at ep.run(JAX) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) Thank you for using MindTerm... $ This happends both with jdk1.1.8 and 1.3.1. I tried it with a version of mindterm not from ports with the same results (The error-messages is a little different but also complains about /dev/random). As far as i can see, /dev/random was worked over between 2.9 and 3.0.(/usr/src/sys/dev/rnd.c). So I guess the linux or freebsd-emulation may be partly broken. I'm not sure about the exact point of failure but i wrote a little sample java proc to prove my suggestion: $ cat wont.java import java.util.*; import java.io.*; class wont { public static void main(String args[]) { Random x = new Random(); int i = x.nextInt(); System.out.println("value: " + i); try { FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream("/dev/random"); int z = f.read(); System.out.println("/dev/random says: " + z); } catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } $ This is what i get under OpenBSD.3.0: $ /usr/local/jdk1.1.8/bin/javac wont.java $ /usr/local/jdk1.1.8/bin/java wont value: 1497353992 java.io.IOException: read error at wont.main(wont.java:11) $ /usr/local/jdk1.3.1-linux/bin/java wont value: -1971096046 java.io.IOException: Input/output error at java.io.FileInputStream.read(Native Method) at wont.main(wont.java:11) $ The same brilliant piece of code runs nicely on a slakware-3-something. Since i upgraded all my machines to 3.0, i can't prove that it works under 2.9 but i think so. Note that it works with /dev/urandom on OpenBSD 3.0). Thanks in advance Alf

StoryCorps: Estela Reyes
By Edmundo Resendez
Time now for KRWG's Story Corps. Today we meet Estela Reyes and sister, Candida Reyes, as they remember their dad, Juan Reyes, who passed away two years ago from diabetes. They remember the unusual funeral that they prepared for him since their dad was the type of person that always went against the grain.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Avid Media Composer 5 Essential Training, author Ashley Kennedy demonstrates basic and intermediate editing techniques in Media Composer, one of the most widely used nonlinear, video editing systems. This course covers how to build sequences, mix audio, color correct footage, apply effects, and troubleshoot common post-production issues in Media Composer. Exercise files accompany the course.
With Media Composer 5 came the introduction of these buttons here to the left of the timeline called the Smart tools. Two of these functions are Trim functions. The yellow icon here is Ripple Trim and the red icon here is Overwrite Trim. In this movie, we'll learn how to use these to help further refine and tweak our sequence. Now if we have already used Ripple Trim on all of our A side and B side trims. So far we've only accessed it by entering Trim mode.
You can also access it by pressing the Ripple Trim button and interacting with the transitions in a much more tactile way. Let's take a look at how it works. Now I have got a shot in here that's a little bit long and I'd like to shorten it and the method I know already is to simply go into Trim mode, go into A side trim and trim away our frames. Let's zoom in. I'll go into Trim mode and I'll A side trim and trim away.
You can see that it does affect the duration of my video tracks, and I have shortened this shot. I am going to Undo and let's perform that again but instead let's use the Ripple Trim button. The Ripple Trim button can be accessed via the user-interface or by pressing Shift+F. Then I simply have to just grab onto the transition and trim back. My cursor becomes the Ripple Trim icon anytime I approach a transition. So it knows when I want to trim.
To disable Ripple Trim I just Shift+F again. Now, I am going to undo that one more time and let's talk about Overwrite Trim. Instead of trimming this away and having all of my clips downstream fill in the gap, instead what I would like to do is trim away some frames here, and then find a different shot to overwrite in the space. To do this, I am going to use Overwrite Trim and again, I'm simply going to access my Overwrite Trim and the keyboard shortcut for this is Shift+D and then again, when my cursor approaches a transition, it becomes Overwrite Trim.
Keep in mind that if that I am to the left or to the right of a transition, it's Overwrite Trim. If I'm in the middle it goes back to Dual-Roller Trim. So I am simply going to click on the A side, drag back and it leaves filler in its place, leaving all other clips unaffected. I'll Shift+D again to disable Overwrite Trim. Again, I can go back to my bin, find a shot I'd like to put in there instead, mark the space in the Timeline, overwrite and that's it.
A lot of times, you'll use Overwrite Trim to simply leave a placeholder in the sequence until you find a suitable shot. Using Ripple Trim and Overwrite Trim lets you dynamically adjust which frames you show at any given point in your sequence and because trimming is so important to the overall editing process knowing which tools can help you achieve your goals is crucial.

Are you joining us this Monday & Wednesday? If so, bring a friend!
The conviction in our last meeting was powerful. I don't about you, but I had to thank God for saving me so lovingly and freely.
Bible Study Fellowships:
Monday, Oct. 3rd in SC138 (6PM-8PM)
Wednesday, Oct. 5th in SC138 (6PM-8PM)
Note: We meet every Monday and Wednesday from 6PM - 8PM. You must see our calendar here (scroll down) to have the correct meeting room.
Remember to Break Out of Your Comfort Zone for our next fellowship:
At Home Preparation: Go back in your mind to your conversion experience, and try to recall the thoughts of that day. What do you think was your greatest sin? Was there a knowledge of future punishment? Think of what would have happened to you if you had died in your sins. Then write out a prayer expressing your gratitude to God for the cross. Be ready to share the letter in class.
Real World Application: Make the effort this week to practice being friendly and greeting strangers each day until our next fellowship. When you walk into the grocery store, the gas station, school, or work, give a friendly greeting to people you don't know. Although this may seem awkward, it's a very important step toward sharing your faith. Be ready to tell us how it went.
Memorize: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."( Hebrews 9:27) "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (Matthew 5:27-28) Be ready to recite these scriptures in class.
Mondays -Worship, Prayer, Outreach. We will meet at the Fishbowl from 6-8PM (until our room is confirmed).
Wednesdays -Bible Study from 6-8PM in room SC137 (subject to change). Join us as we study Theology, Apologetics, Evangelism, and more!

Please confirm via email email@example.com to let us know you are coming. Our rooms have not been confirmed yet and might change. We will let you know if that's the case.
Are you ready to be a biblical, proactive leader?
We have started the Fall session of the School of Leadership (SL) for all members of CCN. While we are receiving the food of the Word of God on Wednesdays during our Bible Study Fellowship (6-8PM in H204), and we are sharing the gospel during our Monday Outreaches (6-8PM today by the Fishbowl), at the SL we are receive practical training on how to be a biblical, proactive leader. Check out www.changeyourcampus.com/school-of-leadership/ for more information!
Krysta Daniels during our first Fall School of Leadership class
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" Romans 10:13-14
At CCN we know that studying your Bible can only lead to one thing.... and that is, living it out! We are changed as we read God's word. That's why we go out and share our faith with others. You too can help share God's word and watch the student's lives be changed. You can come out on Wednesdays (6-8PM in H204) to learn how to do it, then join us on Mondays to do it!

1. Field of the Invention
The principle of electromagnetic position detection is well known for determining the position and orientation of a solid moving object in a reference frame. One of the applications of this principle is the determination of the direction of aim of a helmet aiming device which an infantryman or a driver or pilot of a tank or aircraft has placed on his head, in order to control with it a weapon, missile or control camera, for example.
2. Description of Related Art
This detection principle uses a magnetic field emitter or radiator, connected to the reference frame, or reference system, in which the measurements are being carried out, a magnetic field receiver or sensor, fixed or movable, whose position and orientation have to be determined, and electronic processing circuits including analogue amplifiers, a computing processor and processing algorithms.
The radiator must as far as possible satisfy the conditions of the dipole theory, in which the system of coordinates for the mathematical description of the radiation is a sphere centered on the dipole and the Green free space function depends only on the radial coordinate.
The magnetic field sensor has as far as possible to be confined to a point. The emitter radiates a field, sequentially or by multiplexing, along two or three orthogonal axes and the sensor detects sequentially the components of this field according to three or two orthogonal axes, the emission and reception each generally taking place along three axes. The sensor thus supplies, per emission axis, three measurements, i.e. nine in total, which are organized in a 3×3 matrix, from which the processing algorithms supply the position and orientation of the sensor with respect to the radiator.
It will be noted here that the determination of the position and orientation of the sensor entails the determination of six variables--the three cartesian coordinates, the relative bearing, the elevation angle and the roll--and that at least six measurements are therefore necessary. If transmission takes place only along two axes, reception must consequently take place along three, and vice-versa.
In a given reference system the magnetic field at a given point is represented by a vector H. In this reference system, the sensitivity axes of the sensor are represented by a vector C. The results of the measurements made by the sensor can be arranged in the form of a matrix M corresponding to the scalar product C·H
H being the matrix of the field and CT the transposed matrix of the matrix C of the sensitivity axes of the sensor.
The sensor, in the reference system, can undergo either a translational or rotational movement. Let us consider the latter, expressed by a matrix of rotation R. The matrix of the sensitivity axes of the sensor becomes RC and that of the measurements MR.
If the three axes of the sensor are orthonormed, ##EQU2## Consequently
H depending on the position of the sensor and MR on its position and orientation.
In the presence of magnetic perturbations, for example caused by the metallic mass of an aeroplane, the processing algorithms are based on cartographic surveys. In order to obtain this prior mapping, measurements of the field are carried out using the sensor at multiple points in space, with which are thus associated matrices of perturbed measurements. Let MC be one of these. If the sensor undergoes a rotation R, the matrix of measurements ought to become ##EQU3## The matrix product MR T MR is therefore rotation-invariant and representative of the point under consideration.
The mapping aims to determine the function f of correspondence between MC and MC T MC.
During subsequent measurements, the product MR T MR corresponds to a matrix MR.
As MR T MR =MC T MC, MC, and therefore the position of the sensor, is deduced from this through the function f. In order to determine the matrix of rotation R, that is to say the orientation of the axes of the sensor, knowing MR and MC, R is calculated from the equation MR =RT MC, i.e.,
Through the document FR-A-2 458 838 (791441), a system for the electromagnetic determination of the position and orientation of a moving object is already known.
Diagrammatically the radiator and sensor in this system are each formed by a group of three identical current-controlled coils arranged respectively along three orthogonal axes. In order to incorporate as well as possible the conditions of the dipole, for both the radiator and the sensor, the dimensions of the coil are as small as possible. It would also be possible to substitute for each coil two half-coils with the same current passing through them. It would also be possible to consider, as the radiator and sensor, a sphere made from magnetic material surrounded by three orthogonal coils.
With respect to the circuit for processing the signals delivered by the sensor, in the prior art system referred to above, and which aims to determine the amplitudes of these signals, it has one channel per axis, and on each channel, with reference to FIG. 1, an amplifier 1 and an analogue feedback loop 2, between a mixer 3 and a bus 4 on the computing processor 5, in order to avoid the phenomena of crosstalk coupling and to improve the accuracy and, in the mixer 3, to subtract from the signal delivered a signal Vref in phase with the latter, of the same frequency and almost the same amplitude. The feedback is controlled by software in the computing processor 5 continuously updated in order to take account of the previous measurement. The reference signal supplied to the mixer 3 is fixed by a digital-to-analogue converter DAC 6 controlled by the processor 5. The output signal from the feedback loop 2 is supplied to the computing processor 5 after conversion in an analogue-to-digital converter ADC 7. Between the mixer 3 and the converter 7, the loop 2 comprises an amplifier 8, a demodulator 9 and integrator 10. The demodulator 9 provides a synchronous and consistent demodulation and rectifies the signal coming from the mixer 3 by multiplication by the signal Vref of the same frequency and in phase. The integrator 10 integrates the signal from the demodulator 9 over a period determined by the processor 5 and the result of the integration is digitized in the AD converter 7.
But such a processing circuit has drawbacks. It has to be calibrated before each measurement. The input signals to the mixer 3 and the demodulator 9 have to be absolutely in phase.
The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
To this end, the present invention relates to a system for the electromagnetic determination of the position and orientation of a moving object comprising a magnetic radiator, linked to a reference system, a magnetic sensor, fixed to the moving object, the radiator sequentially radiating fields along orthogonal transmission axes and the sensor sequentially supplying signals for detecting the components of the transmission fields along orthogonal reception axes, the product of the number of transmission axes and the number of reception axes being at least six, a circuit for processing the signals from the sensor in order to determine their amplitudes and a computation processor with a base of algorithms for processing, a system characterized by the fact that it has a multiplexer connected to the sensor output, for sequentially multiplexing on one channel the detection signals from the sensor, a device for sampling the signal coming from the multiplexer, of amplitude A and pulsation ω and corresponding to a pair of two transmission and reception axes, means for multiplying the samples from the sampling device respectively by reference signals sin ωt and cos ωt and means for accumulating the two sums of the products of the multiplications for a period at least equal to a period ##EQU4## before supplying them to the computation processor, which extracts from them the amplitude A.
The system of the invention derives its interest from the fact that the sensor signals processing circuit constitutes a single unit, from its simplicity, permitting an entirely digital processing, and from its insensitivity to phase displacement. Advantageously, the sampling device comprises a rapid, so-called "flash" analogue-to-digital converter, and the samples from the converter are processed in at least one rapid multiplier-accumulator MAC.
Preferably, the system has two rapid multiplier-accumulators receiving respectively the two reference signals sin ωt and cos ωt.
The invention will be understood better by means of the following description of the circuit for processing the sensor signals of the system of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
FIG. 1 shows a processing circuit of the prior art, already described above;
FIG. 2 shows a processing circuit of the system of the invention, and
FIG. 3 illustrates the calibration of the sensor of the circuit of FIG. 1.
With reference to FIG. 2, the circuit for processing the signals of the sensor 21, receiving the magnetic fields emitted by an emitter, comprises, in series between the sensor and the computing processor 22, a preamplification unit 23, with a preamplifier on each of the reception channels, in this case three in number, a sequential multiplexer 24, a sampling unit 25, in this case consisting of a rapid analogue-to-digital converter of the "flash" type, and two rapid multiplier-accumulators MAC 26, 27 in parallel. It will be noted that the emitter, or radiator, is connected to the processor 22 through a power amplification unit.
Through two buses 28, 29 coming from the processor 22, the two MACs receive respectively on two multipliers 30, 31 two reference signals sin ωt and cos ωt, the two multipliers 30, 31 also receiving from the sampling unit 25, through a bus 32, the signal A cos (ωt+φ) corresponding to one of the pair of two transmission and reception axes, φ representing the phase difference of the signal received compared with the reference signals, each of the signals associated respectively with all the transmission and reception axis pairs being captured by means of the sequential multiplexing on one channel of the multiplexer 24. Each rapid multiplier-accumulator 26 (27) has a digital adder 33 (34) receiving the signal from the multiplier 30 (31), and a memory register 35 (36), connected by a bus 37 to the processor 22 and by a bus 38 (39) to the adder 33 (34).
The samples of the signal A cos (ωt+φ) are multiplied by sin ωt, cos ωt in the multiplier 30, 31. The product of each multiplication is added digitally in the adder 33, 34 to the result previously accumulated in the register 35, 36, the new result overwriting the previous one in the register 35, 36. These multiplication, addition and accumulation operations are repeated over a period in this case equal to several periods ##EQU5## before the accumulated result is transferred into the processor 22 for working and computation of A and determination of the position and orientation sought for by determination of the matrices MR, MC and R.
Simply by way of explanation, the functioning of the multiplier-accumulators MAC 26, 27 can be explained mathematically as follows:
This receives as an input from its multiplier 30 Sampled A cos (ωt+φ) and sin ωt.
The output from its multiplier supplies: ##EQU6##
Because of the accumulation of the products of the multiplication over a long period, in this case equal to several periods ##EQU7## the terms depending on ωt cancel each other out, and thus the continuous term ##EQU8## is extracted.
This receives as an input from its multiplier 31 sampled Acos (ωt+φ) and cos ωt.
The output from its multiplier supplies: ##EQU9##
Because of the accumulation of the products of the multiplication over a long period, in this case equal to several periods ##EQU10## the terms depending on ωt cancel each other out and thus the continuous term ##EQU11## is extracted.
The processor 22 squares the two results ##EQU12## and extracts the square root of the sum in order to determine ##EQU13## and therefore A.
It has been seen above that the samples of the signals were multiplied by sin ωt and cos ωt in the multipliers and that the products of the multiplications were added digitally in the adders of the multiplier-accumulators. The processing could also be carried out in an analogue fashion so that the two channels would be digitized only after integration over the period under consideration, at least equal to ##EQU14## just before supplying the accumulated and digitized results to the processor.
It has also been seen above that, in the system of the invention, the amplitude A of the signal A cos (ωt+φ) coming from the sampling unit 25 was calculated. In fact, the result of the calculation is marred by an error due notably to interference couplings (couplings between axes, capacitive or choke couplings with the output wires from the sensor), in brief, to faults in the sensor. In order to eliminate this error, it is possible first to carry out a calibration of the sensor in order to determine the phase angle φu of the useful measurement. To do this, with the emitter not in operation, a measurement is carried out, using a voltmeter, at the output from the multiplier-accumulators MAC, the phase difference φ1 of an electrical signal supplied by a calibration generator in series with the sensor reception coil under consideration. The phase rotation φ2 caused by the pre-amplification unit 23 is then derived, still using the voltmeter. Finally, the phase difference φ3 caused by the emitter in operation is measured.
These coupling faults, or crosstalk, generate a measurement component perpendicular to the useful component, in accordance with the drawing of FIG. 3.
The phase angle of the useful measurement is equal to
φu =φ2 +φ3 +90°
Let therefore φ, the phase difference, with respect to the reference X-axis, of the amplitude measurement axis, be
The vector OA is the resultant of the component OA', along the out-of-phase useful measurement axis of φu, whose useful amplitude it to be determined, and of a component OA" perpendicular (+90° or -90° depending on whether capacitive or choke couplings are being considered) to the component OA'.
Knowing A, A' is calculated=|OA'| by the relationship
A'=A cos (φu -φ)
As for the phase angle φ, ##EQU15## and therefore cos φ and sin φ, having been determined, this is given by the relationship ##EQU16##
The computations of φ and A' are carried out by the processor 22, which therefore also constitutes a means of measurement correction.

Steve and Melinda's place is magical. We loved the farm, the location, the incredibly warm hospitality of Steve, the lovely guests sharing the other rooms when we were there and the beauty all around. It is a special place for those who enjoy a different kind of touristic experience of real Hawaii... the jamboticama jam is awesome, but unfortunately TSA confiscated our jars when we were leaving. We highly recommend this place!! :)
Happy campers. Everything was amazing. Thanks for the amazing hospitality. If you want to get in touch with Stacey re: farm to school her email is: (email hidden)
This was a great place to stay all the way around. I really appreciated the warm creative aesthetic and the deck with its view. We only had 3 nights there,which felt short because after being out all day, you wanted to be there too. They were very nice people who offered help and services like massage homeade jam fresh eggs etc. The space is very clean and organized too. I would highly recommend it.
Wonderful place, highly recommended. The photos tell only part of the story. The guest house is stunningly beautiful with a panoramic view of the hills below and a broad expanse of ocean coastline. We stayed for two nights in the King room and spent an afternoon relaxing on the balcony. One end has a huge daybed with a view and the other end a dining table with a view. The house interior is lovely as well, very spacious. We enjoyed walking around the farm, talking with Melinda and Steve about their activities and their vision for this beautiful place, and picking fruit from the trees... oh, and the outdoor shower. The location is perfect for visiting the Place of Refuge national historic park and Two Step for snorkeling. Don't miss the Painted Church and gardens on the way down to the coast!
Honaunau farms is a true sanctuary, nestled on a hillside overlooking the lush jungle land and the wide open ocean. The serine and accommodating house sits perched above fruit trees, garden and livestock giving you a birds eye view on all the daily happenings of the farm and its plethora of inhabitants. With all that goes on we were still able to feel completely autonomous and went about spending our time as we saw fit. With accommodating, beautiful and knowledgable folks a request away.
We took a cooking class and a farm tour and both were insightful and inspiring. When we where not enjoying the luxury of the house we found some of the best beaches and restaurants on the island a short drive away. There is so much to be uncovered in this wonderful stretch of the island a week was not enough.
What a special spot. We loved our stay and the peaceful surroundings. The tree frogs are so cool. This was so close to Honaunau where we snorkeled with dolphins for almost two hours at Two Steps. Thanks for spending time to talk with us about your projects on sustainability, Steve. You're making a real impact. Linda and Ray
The house and view are even more stunning in person compare to the online photos. The king room bed is big and comfortable. It's very kid friendly. Steve was kind enough to show us how to milk the goat and explain sustainable farming. We will definitely recommend anyone to stay there. But the street is not showing on GPS, make sure to get there before dark on the first day.

The Quinnipiac University baseball team defeated Ball State, 5-4, at Coastal Carolina's Caravelle Resort Invitational in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Kyle Nisson (Wallingford, Conn.) was 4-for-4 with a pair of RBI's while George Dummar (Branford, Conn.) picked up the win after pitching five innings of four-hit ball while allowing three unearned runs. Ball State drops to 1-8 on the season.
Ben Farina (Waterford, Conn.) was 2-for-4 with a RBI and run scored while Chris Migani (Orange, Conn.) and Mike Bartlett (Milford, Conn.) also drove in a run. Freshman Mike Blumenthal (Dix Hills, N.Y.) scored twice. Freshmen Nick Fabrizio (Peabody, Mass.) and Ryan Walsh (Stamford, Conn.) pitched the final four innings in relief. Fabrizio gave up a run on two hits over three innings pitched while Walsh pitched a perfect 9th inning, striking out two, to pick up his first career save.
Quinnipiac took a 1-0 lead when Migani singled home Farina, who reached on an error, with an unearned run. Ball State responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning to take a two-run lead, 3-1.
In the 5th, Quinnipiac exploded for four runs when Blumenthal singled through the right side of the infield and moved to second with a stolen base. After Amanti struck out for the second out of the inning, Farina singled to center field to score Blumenthal and move the Bobcats on the run. With Farina moving to second on the throw to the plate, Migani walked to put two runners on. Joe Poletsky (Riverside, Conn.) reached on a field error to load the bases before Nisson singled to right center to score Migani and Farini and give Quinnipiac a 4-3 lead. Bartlett's single to right field brought Poletsky around to give Quinnipiac a 5-3 lead.
Quinnipiac is back in action next weekend when they travel to Richmond, Va. to take on Richmond University in a three-game set from March 11 through 13.

Step 1: Gather Materials
With that in mind, I got a mental picture of how I could create such a project, detailed out the items in my need and I headed down to Wal-Mart and picked up about $35 in supplies, all of which are detailed below:
- (5) White Foam Core Board
- (1) Roll of Carpet Tape - Two Sided
- (1) Roll of Packing Tape
- (3) Yards of Thin White Fabric - nearly sheer
- Box Cutter
- Scissors
- (3) Pieces of Poster Board
Step 2: Building The Frame
Four of these pieces will make up the frame of the light box, we will simply connect them with packing tape. One of the pieces will need to be split in the middle so that we can make the top fit. I also cut some little extensions to make it fill out.
Once you start connecting the pieces they will look something like this:
Step 3: Attaching the Fabric
You will probably need someone to help you attach the fabric, it needs to be pulled very tight so it doesnât sag anywhere. You will tack it into place with the two sided carpet tape and then just go over the edges completely with the clear packing tape. Once you have done all four sides of it, you will be nearly done.
but i prefer using pvc pipes, pvc connectors, and ripstop nylon
i saw another similar post that's the same concept but made with a box and some paper. i think i'll try that way first.
I did just a very very simple one, it consists only of a single piece of paper. Ok, it's not really enterprise grade ;)

I've been eating at Punky's since they opened. It gets better every time I visit. In my opinion, they have the best chicken parm sandwich I have ever tasted. Get it with hot gardinera.

A veteran of comic books, TV and movies, J. Michael Straczynski made his first trip out to the CBR Speakeasy to sit down with Jonah Weiland and CBR TV for a lengthy and varied conversation about the many projects keep him busy. They begin with a chat about Straczynski's nomadic upbringing and how he always knew he was destined to be a writer. The conversation then moves into the secret origin of his Joe's Comics imprint at Image Comics, his plans for flagship title "Ten Grand" in the wake of artist Ben Templesmith's departure and why the subject matter gets back to his origins as a novelist.
Things wrap up with some words about why he took on "Terminator: The Final Battle" at Dark Horse and "Twilight Zone" for Dynamite, as well his ambitious new Netflix TV series, "Sense8," which he created along with The Wachowskis, and whether or not his confidence as a writer extends to his directing skills.

Astro-Phys.com Ephemeris API
Ephemerides (singular: ephemeris) are tables of values that give the positions of astronomical objects in the sky at a given point in time. Object positions are written in terms of right ascension and declination. Davy Wybiral has created the Ephemeris API as a method of querying NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) planetary ephemerides, which are generally created to support spacecraft missions to other planets. The Astro-Phys.com Ephemeris service can be accessed using RESTful calls issued in JSON format.

Here are the head-turners: 2013's most beautiful products
Glass, aluminum, and even lowly plastic can be crafted into products with aesthetic as well as practical value. The fruits of the design renaissance in 2013 are a pleasure to behold.
After too many years of software ruling the roost, hardware design is experiencing something of a renaissance.
Not everyone has what it takes to build a stunning product, but 2013 brought some designs that are, in a word, beautiful. Apparently companies have realized that their customers appreciate more than just boxes with rounded corners.
A design that looks terrific can, of course, come with a steep price. All those chamfered edges and superthin components cost a lot of money. The good news is that the slick designs set the standards for cheaper models to come. Apple's iPhone 5C, for example, is arguably a step down from its aluminum-backed iPhone 5 predecessor, yet it manages to bring a little panache to mere plastic.
It's time to recognize the products of 2013 that weren't just utilitarian or fun but also cool and covetable. Here's CNET's gallery of the 2013's most beautiful products.

It is part of a collection of shipboard souvenirs collected by Margaret Wood an officer in the Department of Immigration from 1951-1960. As part of her role Margaret met migrant ships arriving at Station Pier in Melbourne and she often received gifts from ship staff
Margaret first worked in the Department of Alien Assimilation which focused on migrants post arrival, before moving to the Assisted Division which handled the reception of assisted European migrants arriving in Melbourne. Her final position was working for the General Assisted Passage Scheme, assisting migrants from the US, Scandinavia and Switzerland who came individually on general ships as opposed to migrant ships. She recalls her time with the Department with great pleasure. She was a young single woman and had just finished an Arts degree at Melbourne University. When she applied to the Public Service, she was placed with the Department of Immigration, as she spoke German. She left when she married in 1961 as per the policy at that time.

(AP) BUDAPEST, Hungary - Students and a professor at a university in southern Hungary took off their clothes in class to protest the new dress code introduced by the institution's president.
Thursday's protest by around 10 male and female students and their speech instructor at the University of Kaposvar's arts school was prompted by rules announced this week including a ban on dresses showing too much cleavage, miniskirts, excessive makeup and flip-flops.
Some of the students undressed down to their underwear, while other seemed to be naked in a video of the protest posted online by a local news site.
Students said they plan to continue their protest and attend classes in flip-flops and beach towels on Monday.

That Guy: Who can't get over the heat in Arizona
The story line's the same every year: it's going to be hot in Arizona during the summer. It just is. It's what we get for having some of the best winters around.
However, we all know "That Guy" who just can't get over the heat. He brings it up every chance he gets. We get it that guy; you're sweating. We all are.
Doesn't matter who you are or where you go, I bet you know this guy. Heck, you might even be "That Guy."

Anyone remember King Bolden's? That bar was a great spot, and truly made Rampart Street the street where the black and the white folks used to meet. It was elegant, had great music, and drew a diverse, upscale, and local crowd. Across from the National Jazz Historic Park is a PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE place for a nightlife district; and I believe that New Orleans's cultural vitality is such that we can sustain another area, like Frenchmen Street, not like Bourbon Street. Too bad Bolden's had to go, and with it a nascent hotspot. Bring Bolden's back. let the music in. Let's save one of New Orleans's prettiest and best-located street.
i don't know if mr. radtke's work in itself qualifies as truly inspired art, since it lacks the purposefulness of art. that is not to say art need be beautiful, but it should at the very least be made with deliberateness and intention on the creator's part. i doubt mr. radtke sees his work this way, preferring to view himself as a cosmetician who conceals urban blight rather than a producer of art pieces in and of themselves (even if he fights blight with blight).
kudos, however, to the author of and photographer for this article. they make plain that ugliness, when thoughtfully framed and approached with an open mind and eye, can become beautiful. it is that interpretation, and not mr. radtke's handiwork, that is true art.
Greg and Mary cooked for my family and our friends at a beach house in Destin several years ago, thanks to a lucky win at a silent auction. I hope they read these comments, because those three nights were some of the most exciting culinary moments in my life. The food they cooked was marvelous, and they both couldn't have had more endearing and charming personalities. Please don't even think about leaving the city! We need you! You'll find a place and make it work; this is just that post-storm turmoil we're all still going through. But remember, this, too, shall pass.
Please don't be reactionary.
Just as the right to freedom of speech does not extend to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, it also does not extend to deliberately intimidating symbols based on hate.
Yelling "fire" in a theater is a dangerous act that will incite fear, mayhem, and perhaps lead to injuries or death.
Likewise, a noose will incite fear among blacks for whom it is a painfully potent symbol, and could--as in the case of Jena--lead to physical violence. The same goes for Jews and Swastikas.
Freedom of speech is not an unlimited right. Freedom from fear and discrimination must be weighed considerations as well.
