This invention relates to frequency modulated oscillators. Present art direct frequency modulated crystal oscillators using variable capacitance diodes can be divided in two main categories or types. The term, "direct frequency modulated crystal oscillator" refers to that type of modulation frequency with or without temperature compensation where the direct frequency modulation is obtained by applying a modulating signal, such as an audio signal, to a voltage variable capacitance diode (varicap) biased by a fixed D.C. voltage network.
In a first type of modulated crystal oscillator the required system frequency deviation is obtained by further multiplication of oscillator frequency deviation, usually by a factor of nine to 36 times. In this type of system, the total frequency excursion due to FM modulation is a fraction of the spacing between the zero and the pole frequencies of the crystal.
In the second type of system, the oscillator is also modulated in frequency by applying the audio signal to a D.C. biased voltage variable capacitance diode, but the total system frequency deviation is obtained directly without further multiplication from the crystal oscillator. In land mobile radio applications, the system peak frequency deviation is limited to 5 KHz above and below the transmitter carrier frequency that span, at present in the U.S., the frequency range of 25 to 512 MHz. Because a total of 10 kHz excursion of the crystal frequency is too large a portion of the crystal pole-zero frequencies spacing, the oscillator frequency deviation vs. modulating signal amplitude characteristic becomes non-linear with consequent increase of distortion of the recovered audio signal. The linearity is improved and the frequency deviation for a given modulating signal amplitude is increased if an inductor is inserted in series with the crystal and the feedback capacitances of the circuit.
Analysis of such circuit shows that the inductor improves the linearity of the oscillator characteristic of frequency deviation versus modulation voltage amplitude, permits small adjustment of the crystal output frequency to offset manufacturing crystal calibration and aging tolerance, and increases the frequency deviation sensitivity (the oscillator frequency output excursion for a given modulating voltage amplitude).
These three functions are interdependent; therefore, the adjustment of the inductance value that improves the linearity and the distortion most of the time does not always coincide with the required value necessary to set the frequency or to obtain the desired constant sensitivity necessary. This is especially true in multifrequency applications when driven by the same audio signal source. The usual solution to these problems is invariably a compromise; i.e., the inductor is adjusted for the value that permits the setting of the frequency by compensating for the overall feedback capacitance and manufacturing crystal tolerances, and in the process offers a value that somewhat improves the linearity. The characteristic that the compromise sacrifices is the ability to set the frequency deviation sensitivity precisely in multifrequencies applications. In the latter case, the equalization of the frequency deviation in a given frequency range is obtained by applying the audio signal through an adjustable potentiometer that can set a voltage different in amplitude for each oscillator in order to compensate or equalize different oscillator frequency deviation sensitivities.
The disadvantages of the prior art type of circuit are the following:
1. It requires a potentiometer for each frequency channel element to equalize the different frequency deviation sensitivities of each individual channel oscillator.
2. It requires an inductor of low Q in series with the frequency determining elements of the crystal network and therefore the noise and frequency stability are now dependent also on the stability of the inductor characteristics.
Usually both noise and frequency stability are degraded with respect to those of the crystal and feedback stable capacitors alone. The degradation is proportional to the amount the crystal series resonance frequency is shifted down by the inductor value. Since this value is unique for a given frequency and linearity improvement, no minimization of this effect is possible without affecting the demodulated signal distortion.
3. A certain degree of instability and/or frequency jumping exists, created by the inductor-generated new reactance zero above the crystal pole frequency where usually large crystal spurious frequencies can produce unwanted oscillation, either crystal or non-crystal controlled.
4. The slope of the frequency deviation versus the modulating voltage VD is not constant, as it ideally should be, but has a constant negative slope which gives different frequency deviations for equal negative or positive going modulating signal, a phenomenon called frequency deviation asymmetry. This lack of symmetry between positive and negative going frequency excursions when driven by symmetrical modulating input is the most serious drawback of the prior art approaches. Another limitation is that when a frequency-temperature compensation voltage is to be applied directly at the modulating element, it affects the symmetry and the sensitivity of the frequency deviation. The latter is a very important characteristic when the oscillator should be compensated to frequency stability of better than � 2 ppm in the temperature range of -40� to +80� C.
A frequency modulated crystal controlled oscillator is provided which includes a current conducting amplifying device and a frequency determining circuit connected thereto for controlling the frequency of oscillations. The frequency determining circuit includes a crystal element resonant at a frequency dependent upon a reactance in series therewith. The modulation of the oscillator is provided by a voltage variable capacitance connected in series with the crystal element. An initial DC reference bias is applied across said voltage variable capacitance for setting the center frequency of oscillation. The improvement to achieve linearity is achieved by a second capacitance connected across the series combination of the voltage variable capacitance and the crystal element and a third capacitance across the voltage variable capacitance where the value of the third capacitance and the second capacitance is selected to provide a frequency deviation versus voltage that is generally symmetrical about the initial D.C. reference bias.
FIG. 1 is a plot of peak frequency deviation for a constant modulating signal amplitude versus varicap DC bias voltage.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a frequency modulated crystal oscillator according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an equivalent circuit of the oscillator portion of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a simplified equivalent circuit of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a plot of varicap D.C. bias versus value of capacitance.
FIG. 6 is a plot of varicap D.C. bias versus measured sensitivity in PPM per volt.
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a multifrequency system using a plurality of oscillators like that in FIG. 2.
Referring to FIG. 1, curve A illustrates the present art peak frequency deviation for a fixed modulating signal amplitude versus the varicap DC bias. If the D.C. voltage in the present art deviation schemes should change �0.5 volts to compensate for the crystal temperature drift, this D.C. voltage change would cause an increase or decrease in the frequency deviation of about �400 Hz producing an 800 Hz asymmetrical error. If the characteristic above had a constant slope as curve B of FIG. 1, the peak frequency deviation would be independent of the varicap DC bias variation necessary for oscillator temperature compensation. Curve C illustrates the peak frequency deviation versus voltage characteristic resulting from the circuit described herein.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is illustrated a schematic diagram of the frequency modulated crystal oscillator of the present invention. The circuit includes an NPN transistor 10 having a base electrode 11, emitter electrode 13 and collector electrode 15. The D.C. bias for the base 11 is provided via voltage dividing network of resistors 17, 18 and 19 with resistor 19 connected to a regulated power supply at terminal 21 and resistor 18 connected to ground. The junction point 12 of resistors 17 and 18 are connected to the base 11 of transistor 10. The bypass of the power supply is provided by capacitor 16. When the oscillator is to be switched on, resistor 32 is connected to ground via switch 35. RF bypass of resistor 32 is provided by capacitor 33. Capacitor 37 is coupled across resistor 31 with one terminal connected to the emitter 13 of transistor 10 and the opposite terminal connected to the junction of resistors 31 and 32. Fixed capacitor 39 and variable capacitor 41 are coupled in parallel across the base-emitter junction of transistor 10 and these parallel capacitors are connected in series with capacitor 37 to form a voltage dividing capacitor network with the junction 45 of the parallel connected capacitors 39 and 41 and capacitor 37 being coupled to emitter 13 to provide what is sometimes referred to as a modified Colpitts circuit. The value of resistor 31 and the value of capacitors 39, 41 and 37 determine the signal which is fed back to the base electrode 11 to cause oscillations.
Bias is applied to the collector electrode from the source terminal 21 through the inductive portion of a three-pole band pass filter 51 at the collector. The inductor is part of a tuned output bandpass filter circuit 51 which is tuned at the third harmonic of the fundamental oscillator frequency. The transistor is biased such that with the crystal connected between the base and ground and oscillating, it operates in a class C condition. Since the transistor 10 is operated in class C, its conduction angle is adjusted, by proper dimensioning of the feedback capacitors 39, 41 and 37 and D.C. bias, for maximum output at the third harmonic of the frequency at the output of band pass filter 51.
The frequency determining circuit includes a crystal 50 in series with the parallel capacitances provided by fixed capacitors 54, variable capacitor 55 and varactor diode 56. The crystal 50 is connected in series with these parallel capacitances between the base 11 and ground or reference potential. The frequency determining circuit of the crystal 50 and the capacitors 54 and 55 and diode 56 are coupled across the voltage dividing capacitors 39, 41 and 37 when the oscillator is switched into operation.
The crystal 50 is operated in an anti-resonant or parallel resonant mode so that it presents an effective inductance at the frequency of oscillation. The crystal 50 is selected to have a series resonant frequency relatively widely spaced from this anti-resonant frequency so that a relatively large change in frequency is possible to obtain relatively large deviation in the oscillator frequency. Capacitors 54 and 55 are coupled in parallel across the variable capacitance diode 56. The variable capacitance diode bias is provided via voltage dividing resistors 65 and 66, or alternatively by the two arms of a temperature compensation network, and resistor 64. Point 68 at the junction of resistors 65 and 66 is coupled to a reference DC bias source, resistor 66 is coupled to the regulated source at terminal 21, and resistor 65 is coupled to the junction of resistors 66 and 64 at point 68 at one terminal end and at the opposite terminal end to ground or reference potential. Resistor 64 is an isolation resistor to isolate the RF at point 70 from the temperature compensation network at point 68. Modulating signals at teminal 59 are applied through capacitor 60 and either a resistor 61 or an inductor 67 across the voltage-variable capacitance diode 56 and the parallel capacitances 54 and 55. Capacitor 60 with resistor 61 (or inductor 67) is adapted to pass frequencies to point 70 between 10 Hz to 30 kHz.
The voltage variable capacitance diode 56 in combination with the capacitors 54 and 55 form an equivalent capacitance (Cs) or
CS = C54 + C55 + Cd
C54 = the value of capacitor 54.
C55 = the value of capacitor 55.
Cd = the value of the variable capacitance diode 56.
This equivalent capacitance Cs cooperates with the value of the voltage divider capacitors 39, 41 and 37 to form a resonant circuit with crystal 50 at the parallel resonant frequency of the crystal. The total capacitance between transistor base and ground is referred to as oscillator input capacitance and is approximated by the following equation: ##EQU1## where CIN = imaginary part of the base to ground impedance in pF (picofarads).
C39 = the value of capacitor 39 in pF.
c41 = the value of capacitor 41 in pF.
c37 = the value of capacitor 37 in pF.
cbe = the effective base-emitter capacitance in pF.
Cin may be for example on the order of 45 pF.
The change in the capacitance of the voltage variable capacitor 56 produces a change in the equivalent load capacitance which is applied to the crystal to change its frequency. The crystal may be designed to work with a given load capacitance. A change in the equivalent load capacitance will change the frequency of the oscillation of the crystal.
The equivalent A.C. circuit of the oscillator portion of FIG. 2 diagram is illustrated in FIG. 3. It consists of:
1. The crystal motional parameters L1.sbsb.m, C1.sbsb.m, R and C0.
2. the equivalent hybrid parameters of the transistor 10: Rb'b, Rb'e, Cb'e, Cb'c, and the current source gm Vb'e.
3. The capacitors C37, C41, C39, C55, C54, C56.
4. the equivalent resistance RB of the base D.C. bias network, where ##EQU2## where R17, R18 and R19 are the respective values of resistors 17, 18 and 19.
5. The modulation coupling network R61 C60 or L67 C60, where R61 and L67 is the value of resistor 61 and inductor 67, and C60 is the value of capacitor 60.
6. The equivalent resistance of the varicap D.C. bias network RT, where ##EQU3## and R64 is the value of resistor 64, R65 is the value of resistor 65 and R66 is the value of resistor 66.
If it is assumed that the impedance of R61 C60 in parallel with RT is much larger than the reactance of the parallel capacitance C54 + C55 + C56 and if the losses of the feedback loop are lumped in the reactance "Req," the complex circuit of FIG. 3 can be approximated by the circuit of FIG. 4. When the input impedance between the transistor base and ground presents a negative resistance -RIN of the magnitude necessary to start the oscillation and furnish the desired amount of power to the load the oscillating circuit is reduced to the crystal and the two capacitors CIN and CS in series with each other. Referring to FIG. 4 and defining as crystal load capacitance CL the capacitance seen by the crystal across its terminal then one can write: ##EQU4## where: CL = crystal load capacitance, farad
CIN = the equivalent reactance of the imaginary part of the transistor input impedance ZIN.
lm = crystal motional inductance (henry)
Cm = crystal motional capacitance (farad)
C0 = crystal shunt capacitance (farad)
CS = the sum of capacitances C54, C55 and C56 (farad)
CT = the total capacitance in parallel with the crystal Lm, Cm branch, (farad)
Defining the crystal series resonance FS as the frequency at which the crystal series branch Lm, Cm would oscillate the crystal parallel or anti-resonant frequency FP as the frequency of oscillation of the motional inductance Lm with the series combination of Cm and the total capacitance CT seen by the crystal the following equations can be written:
FS = (2π √Lm Cm)-1 in Hz (1) ##EQU5##
ΔF = Fp - FS = FS Cm /2 CT in Hz (4)
The frequency deviation ΔF of the oscillator, the equivalent circuit of which is illustrated in FIG. 4, can be shown to be: ##EQU6## or, normalizing with respect the crystal series resonance frequency FS, to: ##EQU7##
Mobile radio with standard maximum frequency deviation of 5 kHz are at present subdivided in the three main frequency ranges of low VHF band (25 to 50 MHz), high VHF band (132 to 174 MHz) and UHF band (400 to 512 MHz). In the worst case (at the lowest frequency of each UHF/VHF band), the frequency excursion in PPM (parts per million) required at the output frequency is � 200 PPM for the low VHF band, � 37.87 PPM for the high VHF band, and � 12.5 PPM for the UHF band.
The frequency deviation sensitivity S is defined herein as: ##EQU8## where: S = frequency deviation sensitivity in PPM/Volt
ΔF = oscillator frequency deviation in Hz
FC = output carrier frequency in MHz
VD.sbsb.i = instantaneous varicap voltage in volts
If the maximum available peak amplitude of the modulating signal is known, the required minimum sensitivity can be calculated. For mobile radio application, where the available regulated power supply is around 9.5 volts D.C. typical magnitude of the available undistorted modulating audio signal is around 2.2 VRMS or � 3.1V peak; therefore, the minimum frequency deviation sensitivity that can be used is 65 PPM/Volt for the low VHF band, 12.5 PPM/Volt for the high VHF band and 4 PPM/Volt for the UHF band. However, when simultaneously, the varicap is also used as variable capacitance to temperature compensate the crystal drift, a compromise sensitivity should be chosen depending on the realizability of the compensating voltage generator network for a given sensitivity.
It was found that at high VHF and UHF frequencies the optimum sensitivity is around 20 PPM/Volt and at low VHF around 70 PPM/Volt. This is realizable for the present available commercial diodes used. Future new diodes or different diodes from the ones used might require different optimum sensitivities. From equation (6), solving for CS and with ΔF/FS = φ ##EQU9## Ideally if CS is matched by the varicap capacitance/voltage characteristic at any instantaneous frequency deviation point, the only capacitance required to make CS is the varicap capacitance C56. In practice, varicaps that match exactly the required value of CS for a constant rate of increase of ΔF/FS versus the instantaneous magnitude of the modulating signal are at presently not available commercially. Even if they were available reasonable production tolerances of the crystal motional capacitance Cm and of the capacitors and active device that make up the capacitance CIN would dictate a special matched varicap with unique variable capacity diode (C56) versus voltage characteristic for each combination of crystals and component tolerances. This is clearly impractical and it is the purpose and embodiment of this invention to describe a practical method that synthesizes the required CS or a close approximation of it for a relatively broad range of frequency deviation sensitivities and reasonably practical crystal and other component tolerances.
The synthesis procedure is carried out for the high VHF and UHF requirements of 20 PPM/Volt sensitivity, the varicap D.C. reference voltage VD.sbsb.REF of 6V and typical motional and load capacitance of 0.03 and 25 pF respectively. It can be shown that similar results are obtained for different sensitivities and crystal motional and/or load capacitances, the only difference being the degree of linearization achieved from a given excursion range of the D.C. varicap bias voltage.
In FIG. 5, curve D illustrates the required capacitance versus voltage varicap characteristic if it alone is to constitute the capacitance CS of FIG. 4. Curve E depicts the capacitance versus voltage characteristic of a typical abrupt junction varicap and curve F depicts the capacitance versus voltage characteristic of a hyperabrupt junction diode. It was found that two conditions should be met apriori for the desired approximation of curve D of FIG. 5. First, at any value of the varicap voltage the capacitance C56 should never exceed the lowest possible value of CS within the design range of variability of CIN, VD.sbsb.REF, Cm, C0 and S. Second, at any value of the varicap voltage the slope of the varicap capacitance versus voltage characteristic should be steeper or equal to the steepest possible slope of curve D of FIG. 5 within the design range of variability of CIN, Cm, C0, VD.sbsb.REF and S. As can be seen in FIG. 5, only the hyperabrupt junction diode meets this condition when trying to match curve D. When these two conditions are met by either choosing the commercial diode that approximates the requirement above for a given design set of CIN, Cm, C0, VD.sbsb.REF and S, or by matching closely the design set of CIN, Cm, C0, S and VD.sbsb.REF to an available commercial diode, the following equations give the values of the capacitance Cp, that is the sum of C54 and C55 in parallel to the varicap diode, and CIN, the imaginary parts of the input impedance required: ##EQU10## where A, B, C, D, E, and F are intermediate calculation parameters and have the value given by the following equations:
A=2φ1 C0 -Cm ; B=CD.sbsb.1 A; C=Cm -2 C0 φ2-2φ2 CD.sbsb.2 ; D=Cm -2φ1 (C0 +CD.sbsb.1); E=CD.sbsb.2 (2φ2 C0 -Cm); F=2φ2 C0 -Cm ;
and where CD.sbsb.1 and CD.sbsb.2 are the varicap capacitances at the two extreme voltages where the curves are to be matched perfectly and φ1 and φ2 the correspondent ΔF/FS, with ΔF and FS in hertz and all the capacitances in pF. To match curve D in FIG. 5 as close as possible using a hyperabrupt junction diode having curve F, the calculations using the equations (9) and (10) give a value for Cp = 25.548 and CIN = 45 pF, where Cm = 0.03 pF, C0 = 7 pF, S = 20 PPM/V, CL = 25 pF and VREF = 6 volts. This hyperabrupt junction diode is a KSW Electronics, Inc. of Burlington, Mass., type No. KV2202. With the above values of Cp and CIN, there is provided the dashed curve G in FIG. 5. FIG. 6 illustrates the measured slope of the normalized frequency deviation produced by a modulating signal of � 2 Vpp (1.414 VRMS) with respect to the variation of the varicap D.C. bias. Though the characteristic shown is only a good approximation of the ideal straight line required, it is clear that it possesses the important propriety required in modulators for mobile radio applications of never exceeding the maximum slope set at VD.sbsb.REF, should the varicap D.C. bias be varied for the purpose of temperature compensation. In this particular example the frequency deviation after being multiplied to the VHF frequency of 125 MHz is approximately 5000 Hz at 6V, 4950 Hz at 6 � 0.5V, and 4800 Hz at 6 � 1V.
This method of linearization makes possible and practical the use of a varicap in the simultaneous function of direct frequency modulator and as control element of the temperature compensation network. Also, because the slope of the frequency deviation is symmetrical with respect to the fixed reference voltage and close to a straight line, very low distortion of audio signals is achieved. Typical values are 0.5% at room temperature and under 1% within the temperature range of -40� to +80� C. The values are for an audio signal of 1 kHz and 3 kHz deviation at VHF and UHF frequencies of 132 to 512 MHz.
Since equations (9) and (10) show that Cp and CIN can be synthesized for various values of S via φ1 and φ2 dimensioning, the adjustment of the variable portion of Cp is also an exact method of setting the desired varicap modulation sensitivity S. This process is called modulation sensitivity equalization and unlike prior art multifrequency TCXO's equalization schemes where each modulation voltage is separately adjusted to account for variance in individual oscillator frequency deviation sensitivity, the new equalization circuit internal to the TCXO, permits the elimination of all but one of the adjusting potentiometers as illustrated in FIG. 7. The microphone output at terminal 101 is coupled through the audio processor 103 to potentiometer 105. The tapped output from potentiometer 105 is coupled via capacitor 107 to each of the temperature compensated crystal oscillators 110 through 114 which are each like that described above in connection with FIG. 2. The position of control arm 115 determines which of the oscillators 110 through 114 channel switch is closed to thereby determine which of the oscillator outputs is provided to the transmitter output 117. Capacitor 107 is a D.C. blocking capacitor and resistor 105 is adjusted to provide a selected maximum amplitude of the modulating voltage for determining the maximum frequency deviation in all of the oscillators 110 through 114. The equalization of frequency deviation sensitivity is achieved by adjusting finely the capacitance across the varicap.
The oscillator described herein is further described in connection with application Ser. No. 790,865 filed Apr. 26, 1977 of Bortolo Mario Pradal. A temperature compensation network for use herewith is described in application Ser. No. 741,405 filed Nov. 12, 1976. The inventor is Bortolo Mario Pradal.

After a tragic accident Grace is lost and alone in the Smoky Mountains. Grace's struggle for survival is made more complicated by her troubled past. Battling the demons in her mind may be the only way to come out alive.
A documentary on hazing and alcohol abuse on college campuses.
Haze is a documentary centered around the theme of alcohol abuse on college campuses; specifically but not limited to fraternities. Along with learning many other statistics and horror stories of college drinking scenarios, we are told the story of a young man named Gordie Bailey who died from alcohol poisoning at his initiation into the Chi Psi fraternity. The story is a powerful one that hits home for many viewers, and uses emotion to appeal to students to be more careful when they drink. To support their argument, filmmaker used many graphic images of alcohol abuse on college campuses. Images included students who had hurt themselves or others because they were intoxicated, and images of dangerous drinking games taking place at parties. There were videos from websites such as Collegehumor.com and Youtube.com that not only condone binge drinking but also encourage it. They also included clips from the movie Animal House, one thought harmless but in certain light could be seen as detrimental. The images they showed are ones that are probably familiar to many viewers such as myself, I know I had seen some of them before and laughed it off just as anyone else. But when you hear experts discussing the dangers of this behavior as you watch the footage, you see it in a whole new light. The interviews consisted of experts and also friends and family of Gordie Bailey. The expert interviews that were conducted included doctors, scientists, psychiatrists, police officers, and others. They presented statistics and facts concerning binge drinking among young adults. These interviews were shot at a wider angle (Torso-up) than some of the interviews of friends and parents of Gordie Bailey, which were shot much more tightly and zoomed in to the interviewee's face. Interviews were a very big part of this documentary, they took up the majority of the footage, and although there were some cutaways and images being shown while people talked, there were many lengthy interview scenes in which we only watched the person talking. This was ineffective at times, such as when the experts were talking about statistics and facts, but when the family members spoke of Gordie's death, I think seeing the emotion in their faces was a big part of the intent of the filmmaker to evoke emotion. There was little to no music being played through much of the film, I'm not sure why the filmmaker chose to do this, but I think there were some parts where it would have been effective. I think the main reason they used little music was because this documentary was intended to be very serious, dealing with something like death they may have thought that music may distract or take away from the true seriousness of the issue. The structure of the film was interesting, it not only told the story of Gordie Bailey, but also talked about many other different aspects of college drinking and other issues surrounding it, such as the drinking age. The story of Gordie was eventually told in chronological order, but it was very broken up by discussions of other issues in between. The footage kept going back and forth between interviews with people telling Gordie's story and experts talking about other issues concerning the same themes. The director, Pete Schuermann, has worked on other films, including a documentary entitled, "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," which chronicles the story of Scott Krueger, another student who died because of fraternity hazing. Most of his other work includes independent films ranging from horror to action to comedy. But it was his work on "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" that caught the eye of the Bailey family as they looked for someone to direct a film dedicated to their son's legacy.

After having been in the investing world for more than 25 years from private banking and investment management to private and venture capital; I have pretty much "been there and done that" at one point or another. I am currently a silent partner for an RIA in Houston, Texas.
The majority of my time is spent analyzing, researching and writing commentary about investing, investor psychology and macro-views of the markets and the economy. My thoughts are not generally mainstream and are often contrarian in nature but I try an use a common sense approach, clear explanations and my "real world" experience in the process.
I am the Chief Editor of the REAL INVESTMENT REPORT, a weekly subscriber based-newsletter that is distributed nationwide. The newsletter covers economic, political and market topics as they relate to your money and life.

Taylor Dart is a top contributor on Seeking Alpha in both the long ideas and basic materials section of the website. He has over 10 years of experience in active investing and currently holds a top #100 ranking on TipRanks.com for investment performance out of over 5,200 financial bloggers. Taylor has over 10 years of active investing in individual stocks with a compound annual growth rate of 15 percent per year. His main focus is on undervalued growth stocks outperforming the market and their peers. In addition he use extensive technical analysis to capture maximum upside price action, as his belief is that timing is everything. Taylor scans upwards of 1200 stocks nightly on the U.S. and Canadian markets to identify the best fundamental opportunities with the most timely technical setups. He is a huge proponent of trend following and the "Turtles" who enjoyed compound annual growth rates of over 80 percent per year.
"If there is a sudden range expansion in a market that has been trading narrowly, human nature is to try and fade that price move. When you get a range expansion, the market is sending you a very loud, clear signal that the market is getting ready to move in the direction of that expansion." - Paul Tudor Jones
"While a fundamental analyst may be able to properly evaluate the economics underlying a stock, I do not believe they can predict how the masses will process this same information. Ultimately, it is the dollar-weighted collective opinion of all market participants that determines whether a stock goes up or down. This consensus is revealed by analyzing price."
Mark Abraham , Quantitative Capital Management, L.P.
"Profit targets imply a trader can predict the future. Profit targets are profit-limiting. Trend followers stay in the moment of now, avoid prognostication, and let markets run as far as they go. "
Thomas Vician, Jr.
"We can't always take advantage of a particular period. But in an uncertain world, perhaps the investment philosophy that makes the most sense, if you study the implications carefully, is trend following. Trend following consists of buying high and selling low. For 19 years we have consistently bought high and sold low. If trends were not the underlying nature of markets, our type of trading would have very quickly put us out of business. It wouldn't take 19 years or even 19 months of buying high and selling low ALL of the time to bankrupt you. But trends are an integral, underlying reality in life. How can someone buy high and sell low and be successful for two decades unless the underlying nature of markets is to trend? On the other hand, I've seen year-after-year, brilliant men buying low and selling high for a while successfully and then going broke because they thought they understood why a certain investment instrument had to perform in accordance with their personal logic.

Perhaps more than any other time in the last six decades, the fate of markets is inextricably intertwined with the ebb and flow of geopolitics. From the ECB's attempts to use the central bank's balance sheet to influence political outcomes across the eurozone to Saudi Arabia's efforts to transform the kingdom's influence over crude prices into an instrument of foreign policy, it's become increasingly clear that one simply cannot fully comprehend market movements without a thorough understanding of concurrent political outcomes. Drawing on extensive experience in both politics and finance, Heisenberg will help demystify a world in which investors can no longer hope to conceptualize markets as existing in anything that even approximates a vacuum.

Education in mining engineering, computer science, finance, and training in economics led to a commodity analysis career during the commodity boom of the early 1970s. Robert made a switch to global macro focus in the early 1980 when the commodity bull market waned, with specialization in foreign exchange.

He worked for Swiss Bank Corp and Union Bank of Switzerland (precursors of today's new UBS) as head of technical research and as proprietary trader in various major finance centers (London, New York, and subsequently head of proprietary trading in Toronto, respectively) from late 1980s to mid-1990s. A stint at Bank of America as head of global technical research (in London and New York) followed in late 1990s to early 2000s.

He returned to Switzerland in 2004 as head of technical research and strategy, and FX and commodity market analyst for Swiss Life Asset Management in Zurich. He joined Diapason Commodities Management in 2008 as senior market strategist, and subsequently as Chief Market Strategist, utilizing fundamental macroeconomic drivers, and structural/technical data in modeling asset price and sector movements. Robert wrote a book on the Elliott Wave Principle in 1988, which was hailed by the London Society of Technical Analysts as "the best book ever written on the subject". Robert is a member of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE), USA.

Shakespearean Language: A Guide for Actors and Students (Hardback)Leslie O'Dell
Hardback Published: 30/10/2001
- Can be ordered from our supplier
Shakespeare was a master of language, his sayings have become part of everyday speech, and his plays endure, in part, because of the beauty of his verse. Shakespeare's language, however, poses special difficulties for modern actors because many of his words seem unusual or difficult to pronounce, he employs rhetorical devices throughout his works, and he carefully uses rhythm to convey sense. The relation of the modern actor to the Shakespearean text, the importance of understanding the nuances of his language, and the fundamentals of grammar are all thoroughly examined in this volume. Its heart is a detailed consideration of the iambic code, the metrical system that Shakespeare used to give so much power to his verse. O'Dell also examines the importance of formal rhetoric in Elizabethan England and Shakespeare's artful use of rhetorical devices in his plays. As a practical reference guide, this volume keeps in mind the particular needs of theater professionals.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Man cited following fire behind San Clemente gas station
A transient was cited Tuesday in connection with a small vegetation fire that broke out behind a Union 76 gas station in San Clemente, authorities said.
The Orange County Fire Authority dispatched three engines to 1201 S. El Camino Real at 8:20 a.m. and knocked down the fire in about 10 minutes, fire Capt. Steve Concialdi said. There were no reports of injuries or structural damage.
Concialdi said the fire was accidental. Sheriff's deputies detained a man who authorities said admitted responsibility and apologized.
"He lit a candle and went to get a drink, and the candle (caused the) fire," sheriff's Sgt. Joe McClintock said.
The man was cited on allegations of recklessly causing a fire and was released, McClintock said.
Gas station owner Hamid Fatemi said he was unaware of the fire until a sheriff's deputy told him the fire department was en route. Fatemi said the fire was at a common gathering spot for homeless people.
