1) Field of the Invention
The invention relates to methods and apparatuses for the realization of spectral containment of radio transmissions so that they do not cause adjacent channel interference and, in particular, for the realization of spectral containment of high bitrate digital transmissions such as TDMA or CDMA cellular telephone signals.
2) Discussion of Related Art
Technological advancements have permitted continuous improvements in reducing the size and cost while increasing the battery life of cellular portable telephones. This has made cellular telephones ever more popular. As a result, cellular telephone systems need to expand so as to provide service to ever greater numbers of subscribers.
Pressure on frequency channel availability has led to the development of digital cellular technologies such as the European GSM TDMA system, the U.S. IS-54 digital TDMA cellular standard, and the U.S. IS-95 CDMA standard. All the above systems are characterized by first converting speech to a compressed digital form which is then coded by more or less redundant coding and subsequently transmitted using one or more timeslots in a repeating frame period.
For example, the GSM TDMA system codes speech using convolutional coding and transmits the coded speech using one or two out of 16 timeslots depending on whether a half-rate or a full-rate channel is allocated. An IS-54 system also convolutionally codes speech and then transmits it using one or two out of six timeslots. An IS-95 system uses convolutional coding plus bit repetition and transmits the speech using 2, 4, 8 or 16 out of 16 timeslots depending on whether the speech sound is a voiced sound, non-voiced sound or silence/background noise. In all cases therefore, the bitrate of speech is first compressed to remove natural redundance and then the bitrate is increased by using intelligent coding to obtain a higher bitrate stream for transmission that is more tolerant of interference.
A transmitter for such digitally coded signals preferably comprises a balanced quadrature modulator. FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art arrangement of a quadrature modulator for synthesizing an arbitrarily modulated signal. A digital signal processor (DSP) 30 calculates time-spaced samples of the real and imaginary parts of a desired complex modulation. The real part is given by the desired amplitude times the cosine of the desired phase angle, while the imaginary part is given by the amplitude times the sine of the phase angle. In this way both Amplitude Modulated (AM) signals or Phase Modulated (PM) signals can be generated, or signals comprising both, the result of which is generally known as complex modulated signals. The numerical samples calculated by the DSP 30 are transferred to a pair of Digital-to-Analog (D-to-A) convertors 31 that convert each numerical sample pair into a pair of analog voltages known as I (In-phase) and Q (Quadrature) signals. A sequence of such numerical samples generates I and Q waveforms but in a stepwise fashion.
The steps in the waveforms cause undesirable spectral components that would interfere with adjacent radio channels unless suppressed. Some techniques for D-to-A conversion provide interpolation between samples giving sloping waveforms between adjacent sample values, which reduces but does not sufficiently eliminate the undesired components. Consequently, I and Q smoothing filters 32 are necessary. These are low-pass filters that pass all modulation spectral components of interest but suppress the higher frequency components of the spectrum associated with the stepwise or piecewise linear I,Q waveforms from the D-to-A convertors 31.
The smoothed I,Q waveforms are applied to a pair of balanced modulators 33 together with cosine and sine carrier frequency signals, this arrangement being known as a quadrature modulator. The arrangement described so far and illustrated in FIG. 1 belongs to the well-known prior art.
In summary, the DSP 30 produces numerical I and Q waveforms representative of the desired digital or analog modulation and then D-to-A convertors 31 convert the numerical I,Q representations to analog I,Q modulating waveforms. Filters 32 remove discontinuities due to the finite time sampling and quantization of the numerical I,Q signals to produce continuous I,Q waveforms, thus avoiding spectral splatter into adjacent radio channels. The smoothed I,Q waveforms are applied to sine and cosine radio frequency-carriers using quadrature modulator 33.
It is important for accurate signal generation that (1) the two balanced modulators are accurately matched, (2) the levels of the I and Q signals are accurately controlled relative to each other, and (3) the balanced modulators have low carrier leakage or offset, that is, the output signal of a balanced modulator should be zero when its respective I or Q modulating signal is zero.
Since the I and Q signals vary from positive to negative, if a circuit is required to operate only from a single positive supply, then the zero point of an I or Q waveform cannot be defined to be zero voltage, but must be defined to be some positive reference voltage such as half the supply voltage. Then when an I or Q waveform swings below this reference voltage it will be interpreted as negative, and positive when it swings above.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to generate a reference voltage from the DSP 30 that is exactly equal to the voltage the D-to-A convertors supply with an input numerical value of zero. This problem is overcome by use of the balanced configuration shown in FIG. 2 and disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,530,722, herein incorporated by reference, which uses special D-to-A conversion techniques to generate I and Q signals as well as their complements I and Q.
In FIG. 2, instead of using the D-to-A convertors 31 of FIG. 1, the numerical I and Q signals from DSP 30 are transferred to a delta-sigma (Δ-Σ) convertor 41. This device is built according to known art to generate a high bitrate stream of binary `1`s and `0`s having a short-term average value proportional to the numerical input value. With a maximum possible numerical input value the bit stream produced would be 1111 . . . (the voltage of a `1` condition being equal to the chosen supply voltage) while the minimum numerical input value will generate the bit pattern 00000 . . . A half-scale numerical input will produce the bit stream 1010101010 . . . having an average voltage equal to half the supply voltage. According to an aspect of the invention disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,539,722, extra invertor gates 42 are provided at the output of each delta-sigma convertor 41 to additionally generate the complementary bitstreams. That means when delta-sigma convertors 41 produce a bit stream 100100100100 . . . having a mean of 1/3 the supply voltage, the complementary bit stream will be 011011011011 . . . having a mean of 2/3rds the supply voltage. The difference between these two is 1/3-2/3=-1/3 of the supply voltage. If the convertor produces 111011101110 . . . having a mean of +3/4 of the supply voltage then the complementary signal 000100010001 . . . will have the mean of 1/4 of the supply voltage, so that the difference is 3/4-1/4=+1/2 of the supply voltage. Consequently, by using the difference between the convertor output signal and its complement to represent an I or Q signal, the value represented can be positive or negative even with a single positive voltage supply, and no reference voltage need be generated. The balanced mixers 43 are therefor provided with balanced, two-wire inputs rather than single-ended inputs, that are responsive to the difference in the signals on the two wires and unresponsive to the absolute or common-mode voltage (sum of the voltages) on the two wires.
High bitrate delta-sigma modulation bitstreams are simply converted to the analog voltage they represent by forming the moving average voltage over a large number of bits. This may be done using a continuous-time, low-pass filter having a bandwidth which is a small fraction of the bitrate, but still sufficient to pass all desired modulation components. For the balanced signal configuration developed in this invention, balanced filters 44 are interposed between the delta-sigma convertor outputs and the I,Q balanced modulators 43.
In summary, delta-sigma convertors 41 convert the numerical sample values from DSP 30 to high bitrate streams wherein instantaneous waveform values are represented by the proportion of ones to zeros in the bitstream, i.e., by the average mark/space ratio. The inverters 42 form complementary bitstreams such that the difference in mark space ratio forms a balanced signal that can more easily represent both positive and negative instantaneous waveform values. The high bitrate fluctuations are removed by balanced filters 44 to obtain continuous, smoothed I,Q waveforms which are applied to balanced inputs of quadrature modulator 43, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,530,722, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/967,027, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,745,523 which is also incorporated herein by reference. The parent applications disclose the advantages of using balanced I,Q signals representing a complex modulating signal waveform by means of high bitrate sigma-delta modulation streams and their complements.
The present application discloses the use of the inventive schemes for CDMA transmissions and discloses an advantageous balanced filter that may be constructed on a digital integrated circuit.
A signal to be transmitted is formed initially as a pair of complex baseband signals comprising an I-signal and a Q-signal. The I and Q signals can be represented by high bitrate sigma-delta modulation in which each bit is either a zero or a one. An I stream, a Q stream and their complements are preferably used to form a balanced I signal and a balanced Q signal each on a pair of wires. A CDMA signal can likewise be represented by a stream of high bitrate I-chips and a stream of high bitrate Q-chips, and their complements. The CDMA I and Q signals may furthermore be sampled at a multiple of, e.g., four times, the chiprate giving four bits per chip of balanced I and balanced Q signals.
The balanced I and Q signals are delayed in a chain of shift register stages clocked at at least the bitrate to produce delayed balanced I,Q signals at respective q and q outputs of each of the shift register stages.
A first resistor network comprising resistors of different values representing transversal filter weights is connected to the I outputs of the shift register, the q outputs being used for a positive weight and the q outputs for a negative weight. Each shift register output connects to one end of a respective weighting resistor while the other resistor ends are summed to provide a first filtered output. A second identical resistor network connects to the q and q outputs not used by the first network to provide a complementary output. Identical first and second resistor networks are likewise connected to the q and q outputs of the Q shift register to provide complementary filtered Q outputs.
The balanced I and Q filtered outputs can be further connected to a balanced resistor-capacitor filter to remove unwanted high-frequency components. The RC-filtered balanced signals are then connected to an I,Q modulator (quadrature modulator) to modulate a radio frequency signal such that unwanted emissions in adjacent channels are reduced.
The inventive balanced I,Q transversal filter may be constructed entirely on a semiconductor substrate as an integrated circuit. The desired filtering function is determined by resistor ratios and not absolute values making it suitable for production in processes where absolute resistor values are not able to be tightly controlled but resistor ratios are determined by geometry and thus are more tightly controlled.
The invention will now be described with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional art I,Q modulator circuit;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an inventive I,Q modulator circuit as disclosed herein and in parent application Ser. No. 08/305,702, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,530,772;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an I,Q filtering circuit in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an I,Q filtering circuit in accordance with the present invention as applied to CDMA transmission.
FIG. 3 shows an inventive alternative to the combination of the inverters 42 and the balanced filters 44 of FIG. 2 for realizing a balanced filter.
An I bitstream or a Q bitstream from delta-sigma convertors 41 is applied to a filter 30 constructed broadly according to FIG. 3, i.e., there is one filter 30 for each of the I and Q bitstreams. In other words, one of the balanced transversal filters of FIG. 3 is used for the I-signals, and another one for the Q-signals.
The I or Q bitstream enters a shift register 50 which is in the form of a chain of shift register stages (501, 502, . . . 50N) each comprising a flip-flop (511, 512, . . . 51N) having q and q complementary outputs. A resistor network 60 consisting of a group of resistors (601, 602 . . . 60N) of different values R1, R2, . . . RN are connected to the flip-flop outputs using the q output to obtain a positive weighting value or the q output, as shown at shift register stage 503, if a negative weighting value is desired. How the weights are determined is explained below. The other ends of the resistors are connected to a summer 70 which may be simply a summing junction 71. An identical set of resistors 80 connects to the flip flop q-outputs where the first network connects to the q outputs and vice-versa, such that the waveform produced at the summer 90 or summing junction 91 of the second resistor network 80 is complementary to the first waveform at the summer 70 or summing junction 71 of the first resistor network 60.
In a system following the current GSM standard, a 13 MHz reference clock is used as the reference for all bitrates and frequencies. The transmitted bitrate is 13 MHz/48. Using 13 MHz as the delta-sigma bitrate output from delta-sigma convertors 41 means that 48 delta-sigma bit outputs will occur per transmitted bit period. Shift register 50 can thus conveniently be 48 bits long and the resistors 601 -6048 ("N" in this instance being equal to 48) chosen to obtain a desired impulse response with a duration of one bit period. This impulse response corresponds to a frequency response bandwidth of the order of the bitrate or a few times the bitrate. This frequency response represents only the filtering needed to remove delta-sigma noise, the waveform shaping of the transmitted symbol transitions being determined by the DSP 30 in conjunction with the delta-sigma convertor 41. For example, the delta-sigma convertor 31 can comprise a Read Only Memory (ROM) containing 8 precomputed 48-bit patterns of I and Q waveforms corresponding to all possible patterns of three consecutive information bits.
Generally, I,Q waveforms can be created for digital transmitters by means of such a ROM modulator, which relies on being able to truncate the impulse response of the premodulation filter to a reasonable number of bit periods M, where 2M gives a ROM of a reasonable size. Using the truncated impulse response, the filter can produce, over each bit interval, one of a finite number, 2M, of possible waveforms. By storing each I,Q waveform at an adequate number of samples per bit in a ROM, the modulation and filtering is achieved simply by feeding the data stream through an M-bit shift register (not shown) which addresses the ROM to output waveforms for that bit interval. Each waveform then has an impulse response length which can be up to three information bit periods long, as compared to the one bit period of the filter of FIG. 3 with 48 stages. This provides advantages for the following reasons. The sharpness of cut-off of a filter response in the frequency domain increases in proportion to the lengths of its impulse response in the time domain. Thus, a long impulse response is desirable to obtain a sharp filtering effect in the frequency domain. Desirable impulse responses are generally several information symbols in length, e.g., 3 symbol periods. The sharpness of cut-off is determined by the number symbols each waveform stored in the ROM modulator depends on, while attenuation of components further away from the cut-off point depends on the filtering applied to these delta-sigma waveforms after they emerge from the ROM modulator.
The filter of FIG. 3 may also be used for generating a filtered, CDMA coded signal, as shown in FIG. 4. The DSP 30 supplies convolutionally-coded and interleaved information bits to convertors 41, which are now CDMA code-spreaders 95 instead of the delta-sigma convertors. For example, if the CDMA spreading spreads each coded bit from DSP 30 by a factor of 64, the output chip rate from spreaders 95 will be 64 times the coded information rate, giving in the case of CDMA standard IS-95 a chiprate of 1.2288 Megabits/sec. This chip stream can be used as an input for the filter of FIG. 3. The chip stream may be further sampled at four samples per chip to obtain a rate of 4.9152 Megabits/sec which is clocked into a shift register 50 of, for example, 48 stages. The total impulse response length of 48 1/4-chips or 12 chips is adequate to allow, by proper choice of weighting resistors 601 -60N, good spectral containment of transmissions.
More specifically, FIG. 4 illustrates the application of the present invention to a CDMA system in which the DSP 30 codes analog speech into digital form or accepts digital data signals already in digital form and applies error correction coding. The coded speech and data are then converted to I,Q signals representing the vector components of a modulated signal which are further spread-spectrum coded by the code spreading unit 95 to obtain high bitrate I and Q chipstreams. The I,Q chipstreams are clocked through shift register stages 50a, 50b at a multiple of (for example, four times) the chiprate and the inverted q or non-inverted q outputs of the shift registers are applied to resistor networks 60a, 60b with the inverse being applied to other resistor networks 80a, 80b. As a result, the first resistor networks 60a, 80a generate antiphase I-signals forming a balanced signal input to a first balanced RC filter 32a and second resistor networks 60b, 80b form balanced Q-signal outputs to a second balanced RC filter 32b. Filters 32a, 32b have only to remove unwanted spectral components above the sampling frequency (of four times the chiprate) and can be integrated RC filters, the main filter frequency response in the vicinity of the chiprate having been accurately determined by the resistor ratios within weighting networks 60a, 60b, 80a, 80b. The filtered, balanced I,Q drive signals from filters 32a, 32b are then applied to the balanced inputs of quadrature modulator 43.
Thus, it has been shown above how the inventive balanced quadrature modulator may be used advantageously to generate CDMA signals for transmission that have been accurately filtered by balanced transversal filters using resistive weights. It is well known in the prior art that the weighting values of a transversal filter should follow the coefficients of an inverse Fourier Transform of the desired frequency response. Accordingly, the resistor values 601, 602 . . . 60N should be inversely proportional to the Fourier transform of the desired frequency response. This is also equivalent to choosing the weighting resistor values to be inversely proportional to samples on the desired filter impulse response. Since the network is of finite length, knowledge available within the prior art may be consulted as to how best to truncate the infinite impulse response of an ideal band limiting filter to obtain modified weighting values that compensate for the truncation while continuing to provide increasing attenuation of out-of-band, unwanted spectral components of the I,Q modulating waveforms.
The invention of FIGS. 3 and 4 is amenable to integration in the form of a semiconductor (e.g., silicon) chip. Semiconductor chip processes have various means for forming resistors. The absolute values of such resistors are hard to control accurately, but an advantage of the invention is that only the ratios of the resistors are of prime importance, and the absolute values are of secondary importance, affecting only the power consumption of the circuit rather than the filter frequency response. To minimize power consumption, the resistors should be of high value; high value resistors may be fabricated in a CMOS process for example as long, N-type FETs that are biassed to the ON condition by connecting their gates to the positive supply. The resistor values are proportional then to the total gate length.
Other process steps such as polysilicon or diffusion steps may be used to fabricate transversal filter weighting resistors, and other modulations than those described may be reduced to the formation of suitable I,Q signals and filtered and quadrature modulated according to the invention. All such variations and applications are considered to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as described by the following claims.

The upcoming baseball video game MLB The Show 2017 is sure to be a real treat for pitchers and batters all over the globe. Take me out to the ballgame. Fuck yeah.
I'll tell you where you can't take me, though. To Glitch Town, because it's full of motherfuckers that look like this.
A bug in MLB The Show 17 early development (which has been fixed) pic.twitter.com/UBC78sUF7q
— Steve Noah (@Steve_OS) March 16, 2017
Do not invite me to Glitch Town. I will never go.
In a recent Twitch stream with the game's developers, Sony San Diego, they gave an insight into what the early days looked like. This monster showed up during a discussion on "graphical improvements".
The eyes. Sweet Christ the eyes. Were they making a baseball game or a collection of wicker horrors?
Apparently, something was wrong with the hair slider when creating custom players, spitting out hideous freaks built of neatly stacked wood topped with pubes.
Of course, they've put these freaks to sleep with a number of fixes, but it's always a wild ride when you get a glimpse into the world of a game developer.
"We've had several bugs throughout the year that create these effects," said lead graphics programmer, Patrick Hager. "I don't even remember what the bug was. It was just, some compute phase was out of sync…"
No shit.
MLB The Show 2017 is due for release on PS4 March 28.

Richards raring to return
Micah Richards says he will be fit for the start of the new season after recovering from a knee injury.
Last Updated: 28/06/08 8:52pm
Manchester City star Micah Richards says he will be fit for the start of the new season after recovering from a knee injury.
Richards missed the last 11 games of last season after suffering a knee cartilage problem and he was forced to undergo surgery.
The England international is determined to be fit for pre-season training as his recovery from surgery has been going well.
Frustrating"It's been a frustrating time with the injury, but I've had a good summer," Richards told the club's official website.
"I went to Miami with a few of the boys. It was nice to get away after the way the season tailed off and it didn't turn out as good as we expected.
"It was nice to have those couple of weeks away, but now I just want to get back into football, especially after my injury and show everybody what I can do again.
"The injury's coming along exceptionally well and I've been at Carrington a lot this week running and getting my fitness back up to the level it was at before.
"So it's looking good and hopefully I'll have no further problems. I'm just looking forward to pre-season now because it seems like ages ago since I last played."

I haven't gone on a single date in my life, BUT:
I have read thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of similar stories [of girls leading guys on] over the past few years (since my first crush), throughout all age ranges, from early teens to middle ages like here. Actually, a more common variation is when girls use guys for attention and play hot and cold games and then drop him or not even bother with the latter and just get him to fall ridiculously hard and then BAM! I think that's supposed to be the girl's version of "pump and dump". I am talking about some version of a girl leading a guy on and then dropping him after a few weeks, or even girls who show interest and then the second you ask them out, they turn cold. I have read tens of thousands of those kind of stories over the past 3.5 years. I haven't even had a girl show interest for heaven's sake.
What is alarming is that the girl's who do these kind of things - I am their primary target. I am insecure, desperate, inexperienced, and emotionally weak. Easy. That's why Sure, everyone runs this risk, but I am at a much larger one than normal, AND it will hurt that much more because remember, finding a girl who's interested will at least feel much more rare than for the average man because of my race and height.
I don't know if I will be able to trust a girl anymore. Not to mention, all the stories I have read of girls randomly leaving their boyfriends after 3 to 5 years for someone else even after a near-perfect relationship.
I don't know man... I have always wanted a romantic relationship, but because my social skills and emotional strength is subpar, and I am not physically attractive, and how much girls hurt guys... maybe I should just decide to be alone and avoid heartbreak... then again, I DO want to experience romance, so...
Ugh... I don't know...
Honestly, getting a girlfriend, is feeling like it's going to be this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUXMQx4Wi4I
Most Helpful Girl
Yeah. Some women do that. But not all. You can't know if you believe every story you hear and you are too afraid to approach girls.
Also women do get lead on by guys too. How they tell you nice things and say you are pretty, then after kissing or sex they disappear.00|00|0
Actually, I am not. I have asked out 3 girls since late August.
Well thats good. You got the confidence!
You shouldn't be too worried about girls leading you on. I think that most girls don't do that.
Most Helpful Guy
No one can lead you on without your permission. So you need to approach women this way:
1) Never be friends with a woman you're attracted to.
2) Never give more than you're getting from a woman in a relationship.
3) Understand that women have an innate desire to be with a man who can provide strength and security. They don't dump guys maliciously for better choices. It's in their genes. So your goal should be to never be the guy who slows down. Always be better than her.
4) Never put a woman on a pedestal. she's a person, not a statue.
5) Always have a backup plan.00|00|0
Number 3 is the problem. I want to slow down and get the relationship solidified.
Also, sometimes girls lead guys on on purpose. Like they actually show romantic interest on purpose and then they're gone the next day. Girls' version of the "pump and dump".
- Show AllShow Less
Actually, I am saving myself until marriage.
Regardless, then.

"Alligator Guy" written by Exotoro
Traverse is the fifth episode in Fantendo the Animated Series' second season. It was written by Exotoro, who wrote most of the episodes in that season.
The plot follows a background character called Alligator Guy, who eats baguettes. In a quest to get more bread, he winds up on a pirate adventure.
The episode begins with Unten walking past Alligator Guy, who is chowing down on some bread. Unten wonders where he gets that bread, and the scene shifts to five days ago, with Alligator Guy chowing down on a baguette. Now out of food, Alligator Guy wonders the streets and does some dancing and even singing, but nothing seems to work.
He heads inside Rachel's tavern, where he overhears a bunch of sailors who are planning to go to "bread island". Using a piece of paper, he signs up with the sailors and heads aboard a ship.
The ship has a smooth journey until it crosses paths with a bunch of pirates who plan to go to "bread island" as well. A fight ensues that the sailors loose, with Alligator Guy forced to dance for the pirates. One night his tail accidentally hits one of the pirates, causing the pirates to make him walk the plank. As he jumps, he lands on ground; the pirates have hit "bread island".
Alligator Guy finds some bread growing on trees and proceeds to take out the captain with his tail, making his crew grab all the bread on the trees and bushes and sail back. He then retires as a captain and goes back to his peaceful life of eating bread on the streets all day.
In a post credits scene, the captain wakes up and grabs one of the creatures; a butterfly made out of buttered toast, and chews it violently, swearing revenge on Alligator Guy.

Devastating data loss reveals a resource
The silver lining in a digital cloudMegan Drane thought she was being careful. She routinely backed up all her images on an external hard drive and also saved the past year's worth of photographs on her laptop. It wasn't the most redundant system a photographer could use, but for years it worked just fine.Then one day, in a split second, the entire system came crashing down—literally. Drane left her hard drive near the edge of a table, connected to a wall outlet via a power cord. As...

New Delhi: An uproar over Opposition demand for an immediate discussion on the drought situation in the country today led to a brief adjournment of the Lok Sabha.
As soon as the House assembled at 1100 hours, JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav, his Samajwadi Party counterpart Mulayam Singh Yadav and CPI(M) leader Basudeb Acharia raised the issue, saying it was a "grave situation" facing the rural poor.
"A large part of the country is facing a serious drought situation. It is a national issue and it should be taken up right away. Will the government not allow us to discuss the issue," Sharad Yadav asked. He was supported by members of all opposition.
As Speaker Meira Kumar appealed to them to take up the matter during Zero Hour, the opposition members demanded adjournment of Question Hour to take up the debate.
Parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Kumar Bansal said the issue could be discussed in-depth tomorrow when the House takes up the demands for grants for the Agriculture Ministry. "The Minister (Sharad Pawar) is also not in Delhi today," he said.
However, this failed to pacify the opposition members who started raising slogans like 'Kisan virodhi sarkar, nahi chalegi (down with anti-farmer government)´.
The Chair then adjourned the House for 20 minutes till 1130 hours.

Suzuki Grand Vitara design history
Suzuki Grand Vitara is an all-wheel drive three or five door compact crossover. The first generation debuted in autumn 1997, it featured rounded sweeping design, large lights, and silver plastic trim around the car. The interior was made in restful quiet colours using hiqh-quality materials. The spare wheel was placed on a side opening rear door.
The design of Suzuki Grand Vitara first generation
In 2000 open body Grand Vitara was introduced. However, compared to its major tough competitors Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, Grand Vitara obviously failed. Hence, the company started model's second generation development, which was designed nearly from a scratch. The Suzuki Grand Vitara second generation was launched in 2005.
The auto's design experienced priority changes. The car got a dynamic, elegant and respectable appearance. The second generation offering integral frame instead of popular monocoque body, permanent four-wheel drive, auxiliary gearbox and lockable central differential totally differed from its predecessor. The Grand Vitara second generation was available in two body styles, as a three or five-door SUV. The five-door variant featured a massive D-pillar prolonged with large taillights.
The new model got straighter lines compared to the earlier version. Bumper's bottom was slightly exposed emphasising attractive anti-fog lights. Large headlamps were housed above, under their lenses high and low beam reflectors were hidden. A massive mesh radiator grille was placed in between. The rear part of the hood near the A-pillars was decorated with small plastic air offtakes. Flared wheel arches made the new Grand Vitara model look more aggressive.
The interior design improved ergonomics and comfort for a driver and passengers as well as quality of the trimming materials. Interior's sport style appeared through ribbed geometric design seats.
The dash board had plastic trim kits with aluminum texture softening the whole interior look.
Three divided round speedometer, tachometer and gear indicator gauges were housed under the dashboard cap right before the eyes as well as fuel level and coolant temperature gauges. Actually, the round theme prevails in Grand Vitara interior decoration, air deflectors, A/T shifter rim, climate control keys, each of them was round.
The center console was rather massive, but still quite well organised. It included a small display on the top providing data from on-board computer and thermometer. Lower there was an audio system with a CD player. Beneath a climate control and an all wheel drive transmission shifter was placed.
The design of Suzuki Grand Vitara second generation
In 2008 facelift of Suzuki Grand Vitara II was introduced on the occasion of the model's 20th anniversary. Designers slightly reworked the bumpers and grille shape, dashboard trimming and gauge package.
In 2012 Suzuki company released another Grand Vitara II facelift. As before changes mainly concerned the auto's style. The model got more aggressive bumpers and chrome side moldings. The front bumper had a usual Grand Vitara protector made from an innovative material named Suzuki superpolipropilen (SSPP), it was lighter than the previous material, sturdier and more eco-friendly. One more considerable difference was taupe and black leather upholstery making a respectable and elegant interior with dynamic character.
Every new subsequent restyling the model confirmed its title of one of the most popular SUVs.
Grand Vitara is a car that perfectly combines laconic interior with respectable impressive exterior. Reliability and stability in various operating conditions, off road capability and functionality are the steady features of the compact Grand car clearly perceived in its appearance.
The design of Suzuki Grand Vitara 2015
Our company offers to vary your Suzuki Grand Vitara design. Here you can find dash trim kits and door pillars of wide colour and texture range, from wood grain, aluminum or carbon dash kits to camo trim kits. Make your car actually perfect!

Now for something a little different. Meet Adam Dole – a White House Presidential Innovation Fellow currently studying the various ways technology can improve our healthcare system.
Adam leverages an expertise in human behavior and sociology to help technology improve lives. A rare and specific skill set that landed him a coveted gig at NASA problem solving Mars mission human transport issues and subsequently led to various entrepreneurial stints at Silicon Valley start ups. A developing interest in health and wellness then found Adam spearheading technology innovation for the Mayo Clinic, more specifically a project he conceptualized called Blue Button – a healthcare software application empowering consumer access to healthcare and medical record information.
The White House took notice. And before he knew it, Adam found himself in Washington as part of the prestigious Presidential Innovation Fellow program. Under the direction of White House CTO Todd Clark, Adam spends his days (at least before the government shutdown!) studying the intersection of technology and our health care system with the purpose of identifying opportunities for cooperative collaboration between healthcare executives, government bureaucrats and technology entrepreneurs to identify and execute systemic, functional healthcare improvements for the benefit of the consumer.
Adam is an energetic and fun guy. His enthusiasm and passion for his work is infectious. Work that is and will improve lives – no question. Adam gives me hope and optimism that we can conquer the challenges faced by healthcare. I truly enjoyed our conversation and think you will too.
For a really nice feel for where Adam is coming from, check out this piece he co-authored for Fast Company Magazine: "Empathize Like A Doctor, Design Like An Entrepreneurâ€

Arizona Hunting Articles
Preparing for a Bighorn Hunt
I'm fortunate enough to live less than two hours from some of the best bighorn hunting in the world. Hence, I've pursued sheep a number of years now, and over this course I have developed a few opinions pertaining to gear selection I feel is invaluable to anyone considering a bighorn hunt.
25 Things Every Elk Hunter Should Know
Elk hunting is tough for the experienced and can be daunting for the neophyte. Fortunately, knowledge can level the playing field and improve your odds when you're on your next elk hunt. Whether you're a new raghorn chaser or an experienced wapiti stalker the following twenty five tips offer advice every elk hunter should know.
Where have our mule deer gone?
While there always seems to be a good buck harvested here and there throughout the west today, the general consensus seems to be the same; our mule deer are in trouble. Some of us have turned to hunting elk and are excited about the increasing elk numbers, while others have been riding out the storm in hopes of the deer someday returning to their numbers of the past.
Western Private Land Hunting for Less
Hunters who can fork out the big money for private land hunting are in for an experience rarely duplicated on public lands. Fortunately, some lucky hunters without huge bankrolls enjoy opportunities to hunt the same private ranches as the rich boys. Most western states have programs that allow public hunters access to private land. The programs are possible because wildlife belongs to the states - even wildlife on private land.
Bowhunting for Prairie Goats
Somewhat vulnerable, I found myself crouching behind the silhouette of a young pronghorn buck. It can be a lonely feeling amid a vast expanse of prairie grassland, knowing full well, you're sticking out like a proverbial sore thumb. Somehow the mind-over-matter trick just doesn't cut it when all 175 lbs. of camo-clad hunter desperately attempts to convince himself he's part of the landscape.
A Field Dressing Guide for Elk and Deer
Field dressing game is as much a part of the hunt as target practice and scouting. Unfortunately, correctly field dressing game can be challenging and awkward for the inexperienced. If you have never cleaned out game in the field or have had trouble in the past this feature article walks you through how to field dress, debone, and pack out your next deer or elk kill.
Bighorn Hunting the Rockies: A Full Curl Dream
Unless you've done it, it's tough to comprehend. I speak of hunting bighorns, arguably the true monarch of the Rocky Mountains. Among all North American game species, they exemplify the essence of majesty. Few creatures can survive where they thrive. Amid scrambling talus slopes, at altitudes that cause most mortals to gasp, bighorn rams are indeed a sight to behold.
Getting Lucky with the Ladies
With the modern fixation on trophy class game, antlerless hunting tends to be overlooked. However, if you want to get in the field more, hunt with less pressure, improve your odds of drawing a tag, or to introduce a new person to the world of hunting; a female only tag is worth considering. Foregoing the antlers benefits game management and is still a rewarding experience.
Antelope Hunting: A Practical Primer
Pronghorn hunting presents unique challenges to the big game hunter. A pronghorn antelope can attain speeds of 70 mph and cruise at 30 mph for long distances. Their eyesight is phenomenal and compares to a human using 8X binoculars. In this primer, Judd walks through the basics you need to consider when hunting these speedsters of North America's semi-arid terrains.
Some Musings on Elk Hunting
When elk hunting there are a number of events that need to occur in order to assure success. Perhaps the most critical time in your elk hunt is the short time span between spotting a bull and pulling the trigger. How you have prepared for that moment and what you do in those few short seconds or minutes can make the difference between filling your tag or going home empty handed. While Gary focuses on elk hunting, his musings will be useful to the whitetail and mule deer hunter as well.
Hunting and Calling Javelina
Let me first state, predator calling for Javelina should only be used in a situational manner (I'll explain later). If used incorrectly or in the wrong situation, predator calls will prove worthless. In fact, it will scare the Javelina herd away 99.9 percent of the time. Despite predator calling limitations, it's without a doubt the most exciting way to hunt Javelina. Using a predator call exploits the Javelina's propensity to counter attack predators and come to aid wounded or distressed herd mates.

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T - Google Reader (RSS Readers)
Gear: S10-3T, Convertible Tablets.
Some blogs may have a very wide layout and this will not fit well on the S10-3T's screen. With the use of RSS feeds and a dedicated program/web service we can view these blogs just fine.
I have used Google Reader for years and it works quite well. The video was filmed back around Sep 2010, and somewhat sadly the interface has changed. At the time the RSS reader was excellent for the S10-3T. It was wonderful in portrait mode.
You can try it out at google.com/reader/.
Obviously there are many other RSS readers that will work quite well. Not all blogs have a RSS feed, but if they do add them to your RSS reader and enjoy surfing through their posts a lot easier.
The video was one of the last ones that I filmed with the S10-3T. After the S10-3T sold I began a Lenovo ThinkPad X201 Tablet project.

A delegation from Ghana visited Trinidad and Tobago last week to learn how best to develop its emerging energy sector while ensuring that private operators pay their fair share of taxes.
In an exclusive interview with Business Day on May 12, Ghana's Deputy Finance Minister, Kwaku Kwarteng, summed up the five days of high-level meetings, May 8 to 12, as having been "very fruitful and extremely useful engagements." "(For example), during our meeting with officials from the Ministry of Finance, we discussed matters beyond oil and gas. We went into areas of taxation, not just for the petroleum sector but for all sectors and I'm confident that our two ministries would benefit from the engagements we've had." Kwarteng was accompanied by colleagues from his ministry as well as by officials from the Petroleum Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority. During their five days in TT, the delegation spoke with senior officials from the Energy Ministry, the Finance Ministry, the Central Bank, the National Gas Company (NGC) Group of Companies and Republic Bank Limited (RBL).

Re-discovered an old Pentax ME, which my grandfather used to use and gave to me at some point. I've had it for years but never got around to using it until now. I think he'd be pretty pleased with the results.
These were taken on a short but sweet trip to Lake Windermere.

It has to be your decision. It is helpful if your husband and your family are supportive (mine were). Don't let your hairdresser tell you that your hair will not be a "pretty gray". If she does find a new one! I had multiple hair stylists tell me that. When I went back to my original hairdresser she supported me. I was having to color my hair so often my hair began to look something like this…seriously
emmy lou harris
Here are my three tips if you want to go gray
- Go shorter
- Go lighter Ease into it by going lighter first. This lessens the mark between regrowth and the color that is being applied to your hair.
- Add lowlights Instead of doing a full base color, start doing lowlights (instead of coloring all of the hair, repigment your base color in strands).
My Tips for Caring for your Gray Hair
* Use a "blue shampoo" at least once a week
* Have your stylist do a gloss when you get your haircut (if you can afford it)
* Deep Condition or Use a Really Good Conditioner
* Use a Product to Combat the Frizz
* Use a Clarifying Shampoo Once a Week
* Keep Your Style Current
Here are my favorite products that work for me. I am not endorsing any of these products for everyone. There are many out there and you will need to find out which ones work best for you.
My two favorite shampoos are Phytargent Whitening (this is my personal favorite), and Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo.
I personally don't care for the Aveda conditioner. Until recently I had not found a conditioner I liked. Now I am a huge fan of Davines Alchemic Silver Conditioner. It is pricey but it is wonderful!
