Present day stereophonic broadcasts must be conducted in accordance with certain standards established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Since there are vast quantities of monaural FM receivers in use, it is essential that any system of FM stereo broadcasting permit reproduction of the program signal through such existing receivers. In addition to this monaural equipment compatibility, an FM stereo broadcast must also be compatible with subsidiary communication authorization (SCA) transmission. For those not familiar with SCA, it consists of a narrow band FM transmission centered at 67 kHz, intended primarily for medium-fidelity transmission of background" music for commercial establishments, such as stores and restaurants.
In the existing two-channel stereophonic system approved by the FCC, two stereophonically related signals are initially added together to produce a sum signal which is used directly for frequency modulation of a transmission carrier. The stereo signals are also combined to produce a difference signal and this difference signal is used to amplitude-modulate a subcarrier signal having a frequency substantially greater than, preferably more than twice, the highest audio frequency to be transmitted Supressed-carrier amplitude modulation of the subcarrier is employed with respect to the difference signal. The amplitude-modulated subcarrier is also utilized to frequency modulate the transmission carrier. In addition, a relatively low-level phase reference pilot or synchronization signal is utilized as a part of the frequency modulation signal. This pilot signal, which may advantageously have a frequency of half the fundamental of the subcarrier, is typically employed to accomplish synchronous detection at the receiver stations. The aforementioned sum signal can be handled by a conventional monaural FM receiver. It will reproduce as a good monaural program, comparable to that transmitted by any monaural FM broadcasting station. The frequency bandwidth of the suppressed-subcarrier signal extends over a range that lies below the SCA band and, therefore, the required monaural and SCA compatibilities are met.
A two-channel system has long been known to possess certain shortcomings, and the inclusion of a third (or even a fourth) independent audio channel has been shown to be superior to a two-channel system; see, for example, Symposium on Wire Transmission of Symphonic Music and Its Reproduction in Auditory Perspective: Physical Factors", The Bell System Technical Journal, Vol. XIII, No. 2, April I934, pages 245-258. Basically, a third-channel in the center eliminates the apparent backward shift of centrally located sound sources and reduces differences in source localization as a function of observing positions during reproduction. Three, and four, channel systems are also of obvious advantage in creating an all-surrounding sound environment (e.g., with the listener located in the center of a triangle and three speakers located at the corners or angles thereof).
Various proposals have been made heretofore for three and four channel FM stereo transmission systems. The use of pulse-time-multiplexing as a possible technique for transmitting three-channel stereophonic sound has been proposed by G. D. Browne in an article entitled A Pulse Time Multiplex System for Stereophonic Broadcasting", Journal of the British Institute of Radio Engineers, Vol. 23, No. 2, February I962, pages l29-l 37. In addition, four-channel systems have been proposed which utilize an additional multiplex channel (Le, a second, higher frequency, subcarrier); see, for example, Four-Channel Stereo FM-From One Station by J. P. Meure, High Fidelity Magazine, March 1970, pages 72-73. The major shortcoming of all these proposals is that they require additional bandwidth and thus preclude the simultaneous transmission of SCA.
A three-channel FM stereo system has recently been proposed that permits the simultaneous transmission of SCA and is more-or-less compatible" with monophonic and twochannel stereophonic receivers; see Quadrature Ambience with Reference Tone by Gerzon, Radio-Electronics, December 1970, page 52 et seq. Unfortunately, in this proposed system there is a degradation in the peak output signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios of monophonic and two-channel stereophonic receivers, during a three-channel broadcast, that is in excess of 6 db. Further, during a three-channel broadcast, the third-channel audio information is lost to both monophonic and two-channel stereophonic listeners.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a three-channel FM stereo transmission system that permits the simultaneous transmission of SCA and that is fully compatible with monophonic and two-channel stereophonic FM receiver equipment.
A related object of the invention is to provide an improved three-channel FM stereo transmission system that is fully com patible with monophonic and two-channel stereophonic FM receivers without significant degradation to their output signal-to-noise ratios.
In accordance with the present invention, three independent sources of stereophonically related audio frequency waves are added together to obtain a sum signal. Each audio frequency wave is also used to amplitude-modulate a respective subcarrier signal, these subcarrier signals being of the same frequency and spaced one hundred 20 apart in phase. A suppressed-carrier, double-sideband modulation of each subcarrier is employed, with the frequency of said subcarrier signals being sufficiently high as to assure a frequency gap between the lower sidebands of the modulated subcarrier signals and said sum signal. To achieve the desired compatibility with monophonic and two-channel stereophonic FM receivers, the amplitude of each double-sideband suppressedcarrier signal is multiplied by a factor of 2 /-\/TA conventional low-level phase reference pilot signal, lying within the aforementioned frequency gap, is employed for receiver detection purposes. A second pilot signal, of one-third the amplitude of the third harmonic of the phase reference pilot, is utilized to achieve three-channel receiver compatibility with a monophonic or two-channel stereophonic broadcast. The aforementioned sum signal, the three doubIe-sideband suppressed-carrier signals, and the two pilot signals are frequency modulated onto a high frequency FM carrier for transmission purposes.
The composite, frequency modulated, carrier signal is transmitted to one or more remote receivers, which may be of the conventional monophonic or two-channel stereophonic type or preferably a three-channel stereo receiver constructed in accordance with the invention. Typically, a plurality of receivers of each type will receive and reproduce the threechannel broadcast, each in accordance with its respective mode of operation. Compatibility of the three-channel stereophonic receiver with a one-channel or two-channel broadcast is achieved by the use of the second pilot signal. In the absence of this pilot, a three-channel receiver will operate in a conventional manner to reproduce a monophonic or twochannel stereophonic broadcast. The second pilot signal is used as an indicator for a three-channel broadcast and when the same is received by a three-channel receiver it serves to switch the latter into a three-channel stereophonic reception mode. Thus, a three-channel broadcast is compatible with a one, two or three-channel receiver, while a three-channel receiver constructed in accordance with the invention is compatible with a one, two or three-channel broadcast.
In accordance with a feature of the invention, the instantaneous frequency deviation of the FM carrier is not increased by the inclusion of the second pilot signal, since it is equal to one-third the amplitude of the third harmonic of the phase reference pilot and has reverse polarity at the peak.
A still further and particularly advantageous feature is that a three-channel FM stereo broadcast, in accordance with the invention, is actually more than compatible with monophonic and two-channel stereophonic FM receivers in that it enhances the performance of the same by augmenting the normal output signals therefrom with the third-channel audio information.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be more fully appreciated from the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. I is a frequency diagram of the composite baseband signal developed in accordance with the principles of the present invention;

FIG. 3 illustrates a simplified schematic block diagram of a receiving terminal in accordance with the invention;

FIG. 5 is a detailed schematic diagram of the three-channel matrix of FIG. 3.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Before describing the present invention, it might prove advantageous to briefly review the basic principles ofthe existing two-channel stereo system approved by the FCC. The stereophonically related signals that are added together constitute a monophonic channel" which consists of a (Y Z) signal of 50 to 15,000 Hz, where Y and Z represent the left and right independent audio signals or channels. It is this combined signal that is reproduced by a standard monaural FM receiver, hence the descriptive term monophonic channel. To this, a double-sideband suppressed 38 kHz subcarrier signal of(Y Z) sin is added along with a pilot of 19 kHz. The composite modulation signal can be written as:
e,,,=(Y+Z)+(Y-Z)sinw l+Msin(mg/2) (l) wheref, 38 kHz, and M is the amplitude of the 19 kHz pilot. Looking at the baseband spectrum, one would find a Y+ Z) monophonic channel from 50 Hz to l kHz, a 19 kHz pilot, and a (Y Z) sin w ,t signal from 23 to 53 kHz. If SCA is also being transmitted, one finds an SCA frequency modulated subcarrier band from 59.5 to 74.5 kHz.
In the three-channel stereophonic system of the present invention, an independent third or center channel (X) is added to the monophonic channel consisting of (Y Z). To this modified monophonic channel, three double-sideband 38 kHz signals, each corresponding to one of the audio signals and spaced 120 apart in phase, are added along with two pilot signals at 19 kHz and 57 kHz, all as shown in FIG. I. For reasons which will be more evident hereinafter, the amplitude of each one of the double-sideband signals is multiplied by a factor of 2 Thus, the composite baseband signal of this three-channel stcreophonic system can be written as follows:
2 2 Y cos ((0,! 7 rr) I l aiid iare three independent audio channels (e.g.,
center, left and right), w, 21rf,(f, 38 kHz), and M is again the amplitude of the 19 kHz pilot.
The transmitter for generating this composite signal is illustrated in the schematic block diagram of FIG. 2. For purposes of simplicity, some of the more conventional transmitter circuits (e.g., pre-emphasis networks, carrier frequency source and carrier frequency modulator) have not been shown and will be mentioned only briefly, where necessary, hereinafter. The three audio frequency signals X, l and Z, derived from three independent sources (not shown), are applied via preemphasis networks (not shown) to the inputs of modulators 21, 22 and 23, respectively. The X, l and Z signals are also delivered to adder 24 where they are linearly combined.
The subcarrier and pilot signals are derived from the source 25, which is designed to provide an output sine wave signal of 19 kHz, or sin (mg/2). This signal frequency is doubled in frequency doubler 26 and the resultant sin 01,: signal is delivered to the input of phase shift network 27. The network 27 may comprise any one of the known arrangements for providing discrete phase shifted e.g., delayed) signals. The three 38 kHz subcarrier output signals of phase shift network 27 are spaced apart in phase and each is delivered to a respective one of the modulators 21, 22 and 23, all as indicated in FIG. 2. The modulators 21-23 comprise suppressed-carrier amplitude modulators of known construction which serve to amplitude-modulate the three subcarriers with the respective audio frequency signals so as to produce the three double-sideband, suppressed-carrier, amplitude-modulated subcarrier signals X cos ou t, Y cos (an! %1r), and 2 cos ((1),! (4/3)rr). These latter signals are then combined in adder 28 and multiplied by a factor of 2/ 5 in amplifier 29.
The l9 kHz sine wave signal of source 25 is delivered to a shaper 31 of known construction wherein it is shaped (by amplification and clipping) to :1 l9 kHz square wave. A square wave, it will be recalled, is a synthesis of its Fourier components (i.e., sin on A; sin 3001+ US sin Swt H7 sin 7w! Accordingly, the low pass filter 32 can be used to derive the desired 19 kHz phase reference pilot and the 57 kHz mode switching pilot from the shaped 19 kHz square wave.
The use of one-third amplitude of the third harmonic of the l9 kHz pilot for the second pilot signal is particularly advantageous. First, this third harmonic signal (at 57 kHz) lies in the frequency gap between the upper sidebands of the modulated subcarrier signals and the SCA band, as shown in FIG. 1. Furthermore, the instantaneous frequency deviation of the FM carrier is not increased by the addition of the second pilot signal and therefore its inclusion in the baseband signal does not require any additional reduction in the peak amplitude of the audio channels. This can be appreciated when one realizes that a signal comprising sin mt Va sin 300! has a peak am plitude that is actually slightly less than the peak amplitude of Sin ml.
The X Y 2) signal, the three double-sideband subcarrier signals and the two pilot signals are combined in adder 33 to form the composite baseband signal set forth in equation 2, supra. If SCA is to be simultaneously broadcast, it is simply added to this composite signal. The composite output signal is then frequency modulated (not shown) onto a high frequency FM carrier for transmission purposes. This high frequency carrier will typically lie in the range 88-108 mHz.
FIG. 4A is a vector diagram of the three modulated subcarrier signals, each multiplied by a factor of 2 I? as heretofore described. The (2/ {3)X vector lies along the cos w,t axis, while the (2/ fi)Y and (2/ {3)2 vectors are respectively phase shifted %w (or 120) and 4/31:- (or 240) with respect thereto. Remembering that sin 60 43/2 and cos 60 /z, the (2/ {5)Y vector can be reduced to its vector components of Y and Y/ as shown in FIG. 4A. The same can be done for the (2/ flu )2 vector. In FIG. 4B, the iii-phase Y I? and Z [5 vector components of FIG. 4A are added together to produce the sum vector Y/ [3 Z /3). And the vectors of FIG. 48 can be reduced, by algebraic addition, to two vector quantities in phase quadrature, as indicated in FIG. 4C. Thus, the three phase-shifted vectors of FIG. 4A (i.e., 2/ 3)X, 2/ 43w, 2/ l z can be resolved into the two phase-quadrature signals of FIG. 4C, namely (2A5) (X- V2 Y- V22) and (Y-Z). The axis ofthe Y- 2) vector is phase shifted by negative ninety degrees with respect to the cos m axis and thus it is, in effect, the sin ant axis.
From the above vector analysis it should be apparent that the composite signal defined by equation (2) can be rewritten with the three 38 kHz doublesideband (DSB) signals expressed in terms of two phase-quadrature components. Therefore:
M (3) (Us! sin The first term in this equivalent mathematical expression is the monophonic term, i.e., that which will be detected and reproduced by a monophonic listener. The (Y 2) sin ru t term is the same as the 38 kHz DSB signal that is present in a conventional two-channel broadcast (see equation 1) and M sin (w ,t/2) is the same phase reference pilot signal. The additional terms present, over and above those of a standard two channel broadcast, are the cos 0),! quadrature term and the additional pilot at (3/2 )f, for three-channel receiver compatibility.
The equations (2) and (3), supra, are mathematically equivalent and F M receiver operation is the same regardless of how the composite transmission signal (e,,,) is expressed mathematically. That is, while the composite transmission signal comprises three, phase shifted, DSB subcarrier signals, it will be treated by an FM detector as though it is comprised of the sin lo t and cos m phase-quadrature terms of equation (3). Accordingly, in the following discussion, FM receiver operation will be described in accordance with the mathematical expression set forth in equation (3).
As in the case of a two-channel broadcast, a monophonic listener will receive only the monophonic channel (i.e., X Y Z) since all other signals in the baseband are above kHz. A conventional two-channel stereophonic receiver will detect the (Y Z) sin m term, in the same manner as heretofore, and when this detected signal is effectively combined in hase and out of phase with the (X Y+ Z) monophonic signal the following output signals will be obtained:
68 2Z X. (4) The two channel receiver is insensitive to the cos m .,t term since it is in phase-quadrature with the (Y Z) double-sideband signal. Accordingly, a three-channel broadcast in accordance with the invention is fully compatible with existing monophonic and two-channel stereophonic receivers. Moreover, since the third-channel audio information (i.e., the X signal) augments the normal output signals of the monophonic and two-channel stereophonic receivers, the three-channel broadcast of the invention substantially enhances the performance of the latter receivers.
A three-channel receiver, in accordance with the invention, is shown in the schematic block diagram of FIG. 3. Here again, for purposes of simplicity, some of the more conventional FM receiver circuits (e.g., RF and IF stages. discriminator, and deemphasis networks) have not been shown and will be mentioned only briefly, where necessary, hereinafter. In addition to reproducing a three-channel broadcast, in the manner to be described, this receiver is fully compatible with conventional monophonic and two-channel stereophonic broadcasts.
A received FM signal is amplified in the RF and lF stages (not shown), demodulated in the discriminator (not shown), and then coupled through an SCA filter 35 to the input terminals of the 19 kHz filter 36 and the switching detector 37. The 19 kHz reference signal [sin(w ,.I/2)] is frequency doubled in doubler 38 and the resultant sin L0,! signal is fed to detector 37 for detection purposes. A 19 kHz signal is, of course, indicative of a stereophonic broadcast. To advise a listener of stereo reception, it is common practice to couple the sin (0); 2) signal to a detector 39 for the purpose of energizing a stereo indicator lamp (not shown). When the received FM signal contains no l9 kHz pilot (as with monaural FM), the stereo indicator lamp is not energized. So far, this much of the receiver circuit is identical to a conventional two-channel stereophonic receiver.
A typical prior art detection circuit 37 that can be advantageously utilized herein comprises a pair of transistors connected in a push-pull type configuration. The baseband signal (e,,,) is coupled to the emitters, while the sin 40,! reference signal is delivered in push-pull to the transistor bases. The transistors conduct alternately and develop the signals e, and e at the respective transistor collectors, where e,, and represent the left and right channel audio information. However, it is to be understood that the present invention is in no way limited to this particular prior art detection circuit and other known FM detection circuits might also be readily utilized herein.
When a monaural broadcast is being received, the detector 37 output comprises e e X (monaural signal). For a received two-channel stereo signal, the switching detector 37 will detect the (Y Z) sin mg term and this, in effect, is algebraically added to and subtracted from the monophonic term of the two-channel broadcast (i.e., Y Z) so as to provide the output signals e 2Y and e,, 22, All of the above is typical of a conventional two-channel FM receivers mode of operation.
The e and e outputs of detector 37 are coupled via deemphasis networks (not shown) to the two-channel matrix 41 via the normally closed break contacts MS-l and MS-Z. The matrix 41 comprises a resistance matrix ofrather conventional design and it serves primarily to couple the dual outputs of detector 37 to the three outputs designated e e and e The e,, e and e; outputs are respectively delivered to the center, left and right loudspeaker channels. For a monaural broadcast, e, e X and the matrix 41 serves to convert the same to the following:
For a conventional two-channel broadcast, e, 2Y and e 2Z and the matrix output signals comprise:
Thus, the three-channel receiver of FIG. 3 is fully compatible with existing monophonic and two-channel stereophonic broadcasts.
The baseband signal (e,,,) is also coupled to the input terminals of the 57 kHz filter 42 and the switching detector 47. The filter output sin (3/2)w ,t is delivered to detector 48 which in response thereto serves to energize a three-channel indicator lamp (not shown). The output of detector 48 also serves to enable the matrix switch 49. A 57 kHz pilot signal is indicative of a three-channel stereophonic broadcast and thus when the same is received the three-channel indicator lamp is energized and the receiver is switched to a three-channel reception mode by the enabling of matrix switch 49. The enabled switch 49 serves to open the break contacts MS-l and MS-Z and to close the make contacts MS-3, MS-4 and MS-S. Any switch, electromechanical or electronic, can be utilized for this purpose.
The switching detector 47 can be similar to detector 37, except that the phase reference signal coupled thereto is cos (0,! which is obtained by phase shifting the sin (0 signal in phaseshift circuit 50. Accordingly, the switching detector 47 will detect the (2/ {3)(X /2 Y Z) cos an! term of equation (3) and this is effectively added to the monophonic term so as to provide the output signal e where:
The detector will also algebraically subtract the monophonic term from the cos (0,! term. but the same is not needed for present purposes.
The detector 37 will detect the Y Z) sin (0,! term ofequation (3) and when the same is combined with the monophonic term, as heretofore described, the following output signals are obtained:e, =2Y+Xe,,=2Z+X, (6) When these three signals e, e and e are fed into the threechannel matrix via de-emphasis networks (not shown) and the make contacts MS-3, MS-4 and MS-S, the three independent audio signals are obtained: e 3X; e 3 Y; e 32 The mathematical method of determinants can be advantageously utilized in the design of a matrix circuit 51 for developing the signal values e e and e from the detector output signals e, e and e The latter signals can be written as follows:
From these three linear simultaneous equations, and in accordance with the method of determinants, the value of X is given by:
Simplifying the denominator to 12/ 3 and dividing the numerator and denominator by 2:
saga-nag Now multiplying numerator and denominator by f 3:
Finally by multiplying each side of the equation by 3 we obtain:
The simultaneous equations (7) can, of course, be similarly solved for 3 Y and 3Z. Thus, the signal values e e and e; are defined as follows:
The three-channel matrix of FIG. 5 performs the mathematical operations of equations (9) so as to derive the output values e, 3X, e, 3Y and e;, 3Z. For example, the input signals e, e and e are respectively multiplied by the factors of (l {3),(1 {5) and 2 J? in amplifiers 54, 55 and 56; the amplifiers outputs are linearly combined in adder 57; and the sum signal is then divided by two in amplifier 58 so as to arrive at the resultant output signal a, 3X. The output signals of 3 Y and 32 are developed in a corresponding manner from the signals 2, e and e,,. The matrix illustrated schematically in FIG. 5 is comprised primarily of operational amplifiers. It should be appreciated, however, that the same functions could just as readily have been carried out in a properly designed resistance matrix, or inany other known type of function matrix.
As indicated hereinbefore, the use of one-third amplitude of the third harmonic of 19 kHz for the second pilot signal does not require any additional reduction in the peak amplitude of the audio channels. However, since a signal in phase-quadrature has effectively been added to the composite modulation of a two-channel transmission, the maximum deviation per audio signal will have to be slightly reduced. if the maximum normalized amplitude of each audio signal is taken as unity, then with no double-sideband signals present the maximum amplitude ofX Y +Z can be 3.0 (when X= l, Y= l, and Z I). When both quadrature double-sideband signals are also present, it can be shown that the peak amplitude of the composite signal can reach l 4/ [5 3.31 (when, for example, X l, Y= l, and Z =l To restrict the peak deviation due to the monophonic channel and the double-sideband signals to 3.0 or below, the peak amplitude per audio channel will have to be reduced from L0 to 0.907. This corresponds to a decrease in output signal-to-noise ratio for a monophonic and two-channel stereophonic listener of 0.85 db Thus, there is no really significant degradation (less than 1 db) to the output signal-to-noise ratios of the monophonic and two-channel stereophonic receivers during a three-channel transmission.
The foregoing disclosure is intended to be merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention and numerous modifications or alterations might be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
What is claimed is:
l. A three-channel FM stereo transmission system comprising means for transmitting a carrier frequency-modulated in accordance with the modulation function where X, Y and Z are three independent audio signals, K, and
K are predetermined constants, M is the amplitude of a phase reference pilot signal sin(cu,t/2), and m, 21rfl, where]; is the fundamental frequency of subcarrier signals cos w,,!, cos ((1),! %1r) and cos (w t 4/31r), each subcarrier signal being suppressed-carrier double-sideband amplitude-modulated by a respective one of said audio signals; and receiver means operative in response to the reception of said frequencymodulated carrier for reproducing each of said three audio signals.
2 A stereo transmission system as defined in claim 1 wherein the constant K, 2/ l 3. A stereo transmission system as defined in claim 2 wherein the constant K /3.
4. A stereo system as defined in claim 3 wherein said receiver means includes means for alternatively reproducing conventional monophonic and two-channel stereophonic broadcasts.
5. In a three-channel FM stereo transmission system, a transmitter for generating and broadcasting a carrier frequency-modulated in accordance with the modulation function 2 5 X cos ou -l ble-sideband amplitude-modulated by a respective audio signal.
6. A stereo system as defined in claim 5 including receiver means for reproducing monophonic, two-channel stereophonic and three-channel stereophonic broadcasts, said receiver means being switched to a three-channel stereophonic mode of operation in response to the reception of a frequency-modulated carrier comprising a sin (3/2)w ,t signal.
7. in a three-channel FM stereophonic transmission system, a transmitter comprising three independent sources of stereophonically related audio frequency waves, means for adding the audio waves together to obtain a sum signal, means for generating three suhcarriers of the same frequency and spaced 120 apart in phase, means for amplitude-modulating each subcarrier with a respective one of said audio waves to develop three double-sideband suppressed-carrier signals, the frequency of said subcarriers being sufficiently high as to assure a frequency gap between the lower sidehands of the modulated subcarrier signals and said sum signal, a phase reference pilot signal having a frequency which lies within said frequency gap, means for amplitude multiplying each doublesideband signal by a factor of 2 /3, means for generating a three-channel mode switching signal which comprises an integral harmonic of said pilot signal, and means for frequency modulating the aforementioned signals onto a high frequency carrier for the purpose of transmitting the same to one or more remote receivers.
8. A stereophonic system as defined in claim 7 including receiver means operative in response to the reception of said high frequency carrier to reproduce each of the audio 0 frequency source signals.
9. A stereophonic system as defined in claim 8 wherein said receiver means includes means for reproducing conventional monophonic and two-channel stereophonic broadcasts.

Author Tags: 1700-1800
British antiquarian and linguist William Coxe was a Senior Fellow of King's College at Cambridge. He visited St. Petersburg and later published four editions of an important summary of Russian maritime explorations. Much of his work was originally based on a German compilation published in Hamburg by Johann L. Schulze in 1776. The first Coxe edition was Account of the Russian Discoveries Between Asia and America. To which are added the Conquest of Siberia and the History of the Transactions and Commerce Between Russia and China (London: 1780; 3rd edition 1787; 4th edition 1803). The third edition added A Comparative View of the Russian Discoveries with Those Made by Captains Cook and Clerke. Coxe's later work encouraged more British investment in the exploration of the North Pacific because it confirmed the observations of James Cook in Cook's journals regarding the extent and potential value of the North Pacific fur trade. Two French translations appeared in 1781 and a German one in 1783. Reverend Coxe, an Archdeacon of Wilts, provided the first published accounts of the voyages of Shalaurof, 1761-1763; Sind, 1764-1768; and Krenitzin and Levashef, 1764-1771; and others.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock markets encountered heavy turbulence Monday, and by the end of the session, many investors were wondering whether the the markets remained in correction mode or were seeing a capitulation.
The S&P 500 index tumbled 77.68 points, or 3.9%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 588.47 points, or 3.6% -- another day of big losses.
The S&P 500 index has now ended its fifth-longest correction-free streak, according to MarketWatch reporter Tomi Kilgore, and he writes that there is now a high probability that a 20% bear market selloff may be coming.
The stock market is now in a correction, which is defined by an index closing 10% below its 52-week high. A correction had long been overdue, and the last one happened four years ago, according to CNN/Money.
Corrections are considered healthy for stock markets, as they tend to sift out excessive speculation. But if corrections continue for too long they can turn into bear markets as investors end up losing confidence in stocks, liquidate their positions and put their cash elsewhere.
Defining Market Correction and Market Capitulation
Markets eventually come out of correction mode when investors start buying stocks again, which in turn pushes prices back up.
A bear market is triggered when investors completely lose faith in markets and resort to panic selling. Reaction to news and certain events can usually create fear of uncertainty and serious concerns regarding the future of stocks.
In comparison, a market correction is less severe than a market capitulation, but both remain unpredictable.
A bear market is defined as a 20% or greater decline lasting more than 60 days in a broad stock market index, as this video from The Wall Street Journal explains. Since 1929, the U.S. has witnessed 25 bear markets, and they lasted on average for 10 months, the video says.
When Does a Market Correction Turn Into a Bear Market?
A market correction can turn into a bear market if investors gradually start losing faith in the markets. History tells us that investors' sentiments (fear and greed) usually drive the markets. When fear takes over, investors cause market fluctuations as they impulsively try to leave the tumbling markets. Investor psychology can turn a correction into a bear market if panic selling gains momentum, according to this CNBC article.
The market mantra is to buy low and sell high because that's what gets the profits. But during steep market crashes, quite the contrary happens: People wind up selling low as they worry about prices falling even lower in the future.

Last month, I wrote about what Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst had to say about applications finally overshadowing infrastructure. But the rise of apps is only one of the big changes roiling the IT landscape. Cloud computing has had an equally dramatic effect.
Has the cloud already won? Yes… and no
So I asked Whitehurst if the cloud had already won the war for IT infrastructure, but he gave me a more nuanced response than I expected: "I think there's a new architecture combining computing and storage in an easily managed centralized data center," he said. "Scaling out that architecture… That's clearly winning."
"What's less clear," he continued, "is whether the traditional enterprise-owned-and-managed data center on premise will serve that, or will it be the public cloud or something in between? That's still far from resolved."
See also: Is there a point where a private cloud is cheaper than the public cloud?
I figured that he was talking about things like security, compliance, reliability and the sheer difficulty in changing things in large enterprises, but it appears that pricing may play a role in the future of cloud computing. Despite lots of noise recently on continuing price drops from Google, Amazon, and others, it appears that cost remains a central cloud computing issue.
Whitehurst said he had recently talked to the CIO of a "very, very large bank" who was surprisingly underwhelmed by the pricing he got from cloud vendors.
The CIO told Whitehurst that he can do better running his own data centers because he has the very large scale required to do that.
Put it all together, Whitehurst concluded, and the cloud model is winning, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will always take the form of the public cloud, the private cloud, or something in between.
Mobile meets infrastructure
Of course, mobility is yet another huge trend in technology, so I asked Whitehurst about how the shift to mobile was affecting IT infrastructure choices.
Mobile devices also have less power than fat desktop clients, Whitehurst said, so they often demand more from the data center. "It's not that traditional enterprise apps" like ERP are going away, he added. They're still growing along with corporate headcount. "But mobile apps are growing exponentially…demanding that the infrastructure be scaled out to cope with it."
Using a formula I hadn't heard before, Whitehurst said that every dozen or so new mobile devices drive the need for a new server, somewhere. I asked whether some devices—like the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus—have a bigger effect than others. "As new devices come online they drive usage and the demand for cloud apps," Whitehurst said, which in turn drives demand for cloud infrastructure. "But we haven't tried to quantify that."

Looking to pay $1 for the OnePlus One? Don't smash your phone yet
0. phoneArena posted on 25 Apr 2014, 11:10
OnePlus has a smashing promotion, which we already told you about earlier this week. The Chinese manufacturer will sell its high-end handset for the princely price of $1, to the first 100 people who smash their current handset. Unfortunately, a large number of people have not read the rules correctly and have started taking all of their frustrations out on their smartphone, thinking that they will be able to replace it with the OnePlus One they buy for a buck...

Great marketing. They know most people don't read anything longer than a text message. So they will get tons of publicity and only have to give away 100 phones.

Never understood destroying an old phone when you can sell it instead. Too simple to just wait for the phone to be released on a wider scale than throw money away like that.
8. DocOc (Posts: 138; Member since: 23 Apr 2014)
Have to agree with you on that one. Why destroy the old phone? Trading it in or donating it would be a much better plan.
27. 8logic (Posts: 152; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
good marketing
14. SellPhones82 (Posts: 569; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
Not only that but I hope these people at least had a backup phone to use while they wait for the One Plus. Most of the phones that "qualify" for the smashing go for $400 to $500 on swappa so they could have sold their old phone then purchase the One and end up with $50 to $150 cash in hand on top of a new phone.
28. Doakie (Posts: 2227; Member since: 06 May 2009)
I was going to say the same thing. However most people are so stupid with money they'll put perfectly good phones in a drawer and not sell them. I've met people with $1000 worth of smartphones sitting in a drawer. I've offered to sell them for them for a cut of the cash and they refused. Morons.
Usually these are the same idiots living paycheck to paycheck because they put everything on a credit card.

They could sell those phones and buy one plus and save some buck..

13. latinlegend (Posts: 35; Member since: 25 Apr 2014)
people who jumped the gun and smashed their phones i have no sympathy for. I was going to smash my s3 but if you go to the website it clearly says to fill out your information and 'IF' you are one of the ones chosen. They will send you an email. THEN you have to send them a video of you smashing your phone. People should learn to read better
15. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Just went to the website and it has a fix list of the phones on the drop down to choose from... wtf XD Time to enter and hope to find one of those cheap phone on CL to smash if I was chosen :P
19. Calm_down_mon (Posts: 43; Member since: 12 Dec 2013)
you can smash i5s and get a OnePlus , or you can sell your old i5s and get at least two >.> what a deal breaker right ?
20. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Or I can buy an old S3 in barely working condition on eBay for about $100-150 and smash it :P There aren't too many phones on that list you can buy for cheaper than $350 (the 64 gb of One Plus). I see Moto X and S3 to be the two that you can buy it for pretty cheap, and that's pretty much it.
29. Doakie (Posts: 2227; Member since: 06 May 2009)
I'm finding 16 GB iPhone 5S' on Craigslist around here for $450 right now. You can't really buy two 1+1s for $450. However you can still sell it and put a bunch in your pocket. We bought a 16 GB iPhone 5S a week after launch for $99 from a Best Buy promotion then sold it on Craigslist for $600. Turned around and bought a Nexus 5 32 GB for $450 after shipping and tax. Ended up with a free Nexus 5 and $50 in the pocket. That's how you use Apple fanaticism to your advantage. iTards!

18. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
What a wasteful promo...
So instead of either selling or donating a phone that wither works or has salvageable parts, OnePlus is encouraging people to destroy them...
30. Doakie (Posts: 2227; Member since: 06 May 2009)
:-/ They're giving you a brand new phone for $1.... They're using this for marketing... Chill out hippy!
35. Tsoliades (Posts: 228; Member since: 22 Dec 2012)
Yes, but it's extremely wasteful. Most of these phones could be sold to buy the OnePlus. There are such better uses.
Between this and the fact that they ACTUALLY named their phone the f**king OnePlus One, I'm starting to really dislike this company. The phone better be really good once it finally hits the market.

The Doctors in this department appear unable to treat anyone who do not present with text book signs & symptoms. They appear unable to admit when they do not know what to do & are un willing to admit this & refer to other experts in this field who may know what treatment /management is applicable . They are very good at stonewalling, wasting time, repeating unnecessary procedures that they know will not work & making the life of the patient miserable. In wasting so much time the patients condition is deteriorating & no one cares or gives a jot This department is a sick joke.

These guys are SO nice and go out of their way to help and they do a GREAT job too! Thanks for ALL the hard work and doing the job right the first time...
This shop is amazing. Every time I bring my vehicle in I have no problems. They are quick to fix it and the price is always reasonable. The people working there are friendly and make me feel comfortable. I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else.
Used the Shop for Years
I didn't see the review until I got my car fix. I would have to say this place is great. Been here few times and very honest. Great work and they are willing to help and work with you. I needed a ride so dropped me off and picked me up. Even for small job Pete and Ken will work with you. Thanks guys.......
Still my 1st Choice
I'm six for six t this shop and happy to to recommend this shop to anyone. If you choose better parts and guaranteed work, these guys should be your mechanics.
Car Doctor
Competitively priced preventive and corrective repairs with exceptional customer service.
Immediate Care
These guys helped prevent a serious problem on my trip. Stopped in to have my boat trailer bearings looked at before hitting the road to next assignment in Wyoming. Although slammed with work, they relayed they would get me in whatever it took. End result, both sets of bearings were bad and I would have definitely had trouble down the road. Thanks guys for the great customer service, and for helping my family get on the road safely. I'll recommend your business to friends.
Awesome Service
I went to Car Doctor based on reviews and that was a great decision. The service was excellent. I was in and out quickly to get my emissions inspection. I will go again and recommend my family and friends to go there.
brakes, tires, maintenance in general
You guys have been great, specially Pete... always makes me feel welcome in my most car stressful moments...and always finds a way to work me in on short notice! Thanks for helping me choose a great tire.
In a Lurch
After being left in a lurch by other Auto Service Center with a need for front tires to pass inspection I went searching for a shop to help me out on Presidents Day at 4:30 pm. Pulled into Car Doctor and was greeted warmly and told no problem. They checked my cars to confirm tire size and looked at rear tires as well and showed they measured borderline. I went ahead and ordered 4 but said I needed them done that day. I was told no problem, they closed at 6pm. While they were hustling replacing the tires they noticed rear brakes were thin. They showed me the pads and how close they were to being metal to metal. Yep, I had them replaced, but they still managed to get it all done by closing time. Very happy with service, reasonable price, and I will return.
Great guys great service
I read these reviews and decided to try them out any way and I'm glad I did. I've been to three other shops spent 300 plus easily and the problems were never fixed. I went to these guys because they had a wonderful break specialist received excellent service they made me feel like I was at home there. Not 2 months later my car had major issues searching around other places I would've paid over 2,000 for I only paid 1,200. These guys have worked with my budget helped me make sure I had transportation without paying an arm and a leg for a rental car. Keep up the great work guys!

Summer Picnics in Style
Summer is a time of celebration and a moment for relaxation into all things beautiful. Whether you're going on a 5-star holiday, or just simply needing a weekend mini-vacation, you can always find cause to celebrate the good life.
At Haute Appetite, we love the idea of a beautifully prepared picnic with loved ones. The keys to making it a success include: stylish linens to set the stage, easy-to-eat delicious snacks like fruit and finger food, and finally the perfect summer beverage to enliven the party! We discovered Ecco Domani Wines for our beverage of choice in our summer picnic.
We paired monochromatic linens with country florals and fresh rosemary to set the stage, sumptuous finger-food of figs and prosciutto with a wholesome sourdough bread, and finally the perfect wine to set the tone. Ecco Domani Wines have a deep Italian heritage and are known for bringing back style to the everyday. Why we love them so much is for their partnership and recent collaboration with fashion designer Zac Posen. The bottle is a fun and flirty addition to our picnic table setting, not to mention the wine is a refreshing pairing to the Italian inspired food.
Elizabeth is pictured drinking a Pinot Grigio Ecco Domani wine Pinot Grigio from the prestigious delle Venezie region of Italy known for producing refreshing and crisp tasting varietals of Pinot Grigio. The taste is a light citrus with delicate floral aromas and tropical fruit flavors. We also must mention their Merlot and Prosecco wines for added variety!
Summer entertaining never looked so good…

Kesar Badam Shake - India
Recipe by Baby Kato
This recipe has been submitted for play in ZWT8 - India. This recipe was found on Indian Food Forever. This is a delicious, tempting shake made with almonds and saffron leaves. Please note that the prep time is for the soaking of almonds, while the cooking time is for chilling.
Top Review by Elmotoo
This is delicious! But I keep pondering shortcuts. I wonder if warming the milk when adding almonds to sit (in fridge) 6-7 hours would work? I wonder if almond milk would work? There was fine grit that wasn't THAT unpleasant but would be better without. Maybe just make the whole thing the day before? The saffron gave it a beautiful color. And cardamom is a fave of mine. This made a nice breakfast drink. Made for Aussie Swap 5/14. Thank you, BK for sharing this recipe!

Dome - Neither Snow nor Rain nor Derecho
Dome November 2012
Neither Snow nor Rain nor Derecho
Date: November 16, 2012
After a ferocious summer storm, downed trees and power lines didn't stop Henry Anderson and co-workers from making scores of emergency deliveries.
After a freak windstorm struck the Baltimore region last summer, a routine journey became a treacherous obstacle course for 36-year-old Henry Anderson, a driver for the Johns Hopkins Home Care Group. While delivering an urgently needed supply of intravenous nutrition to a patient, he encountered a downed tree and a tangle of power lines. That didn't stop him. Once a work crew cleared a safe path for him, "I just walked there and made the delivery," says Anderson, who has worked for the Home Care Group for seven years.
The patient later called to thank Anderson and commend him for carrying 40 pounds of IV parenteral nutrition to his home.
Known as a derecho, June's storm came with no warning, felling countless trees and utility lines and leaving hundreds of thousands of Marylanders without power, including 70 Home Care Group patients who depend on electricity for life support. "It was a true test of our emergency preparedness," says Penny Carey, director of medical and respiratory equipment services for the Home Care Group's Pharmaquip division.
All patients received the care they needed after the storm and none had to be hospitalized or taken to the emergency department, a feat Carey attributes to Anderson and his co-workers. Although only four of 18 drivers were scheduled to work the weekend of the storm, all but one pitched in to make scores of emergency deliveries of oxygen tanks and other supplies throughout the Home Care Group's service area. Over two days, Anderson put in more than 26.5 hours, greatly exceeding his usual weekend shift.
Although it took six days for power to return to all patients' homes, Carey says the Home Care Group's emergency service elicited "warm fuzzy feelings, especially for the drivers who had to step over downed trees while carrying refilled oxygen tanks and IV nutrition."
Meanwhile several days passed before Anderson's own home in Randallstown regained power. That, he says, was one more reason "to stay on the clock."

Another big club join Man United in pursuit of Romelu Lukaku
Reports in the papers today suggest that Manchester United will have to fight off Chelsea in the hunt for Romelu Lukaku's services.
The Belgian striker is still only 22 but he has over 60 Premier League goals to his name from his time at West Brom and Everton, making him a hot commodity for the many clubs needing a proven striker.
Manchester United's interest in the player has been reported for a long time but today's papers claim that former club Chelsea have also joined the race for his signature.
The Mail claim that the deal that took the forward to Everton contained clauses that allow them to buy him back at a cut-price rate.
The paper reports that the Toffees would seek a staggering £65m for his services but potential performance bonuses owed to Chelsea could shave millions off the fee for the Londoners.
Despite Everton wanting to keep him, Lukaku has spoken about wanting Champions League football next season, which would require a move from Goodison.
Of course, neither Chelsea or United are guaranteed to be in Europe's premier competition next term, as it stands.
Elsewhere, the Sun claims that gareth Bale will join either Manchester City or Manchester United this summer.
Arsenal winger ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN could make a return to Southampton, with the England international's former club willing to give him the regular first-team football he craves, according to the Daily Mirror.
The Daily Telegraph adds that KIERAN GIBBS could also leave Arsenal this summer.
And finally, the Daily Mail reports Liverpool are desperately seeking a buyer for MARIO BALOTELLI, who is currently on loan with AC Milan.

At the F8 Developer Conference Facebook presented a camera that is of great interest for Virtual Reality. The Facebook Surround 360 degree camera that takes pictures and can render them online via a web-based software.
Even more suprising, Facebook will not to sell the camera system but published the design and plans in the summer on GitHub and thus make available to everyone for free as an open source project. Also the necessary software will be offered for free by Facebook.
The camera system has 17 cameras, and thus consists of more cameras, than the open source Google Jump camera rig.
A camera with a fisheye lens looks upwards and two cameras look downwards, the remaining cameras are arranged in a circle around the arrangement and have a wide-angle lens. According to Facebook, the camera creates real spherical video with this technology.
Thanks to the many cameras this could be more than just an advertising promise, as the system can provide stereoscopic images (3D images). Each camera has a resolution of only 4.1 megapixels and a 1-inch sensor.
The Web-based software can piece the pictures together from the entire image material and create videos in 4K, 6K and 8K.
The software of Facebook is said to support working some different camera rigs, which have a similar structure.
Even if the whole project is open-source, such a device is of course not free. Facebook says that you have to plan on about $ 30,000 for a replica.
But in comparision to the OZO camera from Nokia this is still a bargain. Nokia wants $ 60,000 for OZO camera.
Atleast for this price, you will receive but a functioning system and do not have to cobble together itself there.

Expected value
Please open the attached excel and word files for the example.
Assume I am valuing the cash flows of a simple company with contracts 'a' through 'f' that have different varying cash flows over 10 years.
Probability of default for each contract a-f in any given year = 2.50%. Once there is a default, the cash flows cease and there is no ability to recover future cash flows. Defaults are not correlated.
What is the expected value of cash flows for each year? How do I model this?
Do we need to assume a normal distribution?
What happens if I increase the number of contracts?
What if two of the contracts had some correlation of defaults? Three contracts? Assume 25% correlation.
What is the expected value? How do I model this?
Solution Preview
This problem can be approached in the following way. For simplicity let's start by assuming that the only contract you have is "a".
At the end of year 1, we'll receive $10 if there is no default, and $0 if there is a default. The probability of a default is 0.025 (so the probability of no default is 0.975). Therefore, the expected value of the cash flow of this contract at the end of year 1 is:
Prob(No Default)*10 + Prob(Default)*0
=Prob(No Default)*10
Now let's see what's the expected cash flow at year 2. What's the probability that the contract "survives" (doesn't default) until year 2? Since defaults are not correlated through time, if the contract survived through year 1, it still has a probability 0.975 of surviving again through year 2. Therefore the probability that it survives from the beginning through year 2 is:
Prob(No Default on Year 1)*Prob(No Default on Year 2)
Therefore, since the cash flow under no default in year 2 is $10.20, the expected value of the cash flow in this year is simply:
= $9.696375
The idea should now be clear. The probability that the contract makes it from the beginning through year 3 without default will be 0.975^3; for year 4 ...
Solution Summary
This shows how to work with expected value with cash flows and contracts.

Reviews for Frosted Gingerbread Nut Cookies
Average Rating
"As a Volunteer Field Editor, one of the duties we have is to test and review recipes. I just finished making these and they were simple to make and turned out very well. We have some men working here today at the house so I took a plate of warm cookies out to them. They weren't long polishing off the plate! I did not put nuts in the cookies because my kids don't like nuts in cookies. They were great without and I'm sure would be just as great with them included. I must have made mine a bit bigger as I only got 31/2 dozen and it says the yield is 5 dozen. I also barely had enough frosting for the 3 1/2 dozen. I had to borrow some from another cookie so I could frost the last one. I wasn't generous with the frosting, so I think had I ended up with more cookies, I would have needed to make more frosting. I wouldn't hesitate to make these again. I think they'd make a great addition to a cookie tray for Christmas!"
