What do you enjoy about the work you do?
What I most like about my job is the opportunity to love, listen to and uplift people to where they belong. Traveling the world, changing lives for the better, putting smiles on faces, hugging people in need of love and compassion, helping people laugh and get a new perspective on that which they think to be overwhelming, resolving conflict, reconciling people, giving birth to businesses, connecting people relationally, empowering men and women to love wholeheartedly, breaking addictions, teaching people how to love and live fearlessly, be vulnerable and secure inwardly, face rejection happily, learn from experiences continually, and imparting my spirit of faith and victory into people worldwide is heaven on earth and heartwarming for me.

I recently saw Paul speak on the 12 pillars of integrity at a meeting of executives titled 'The Ethical Edge'. In 30 minutes Paul covered a topic that every executive, manager, employee, and person should hear. His style of presentation was very engaging and the message was just so spot on. The business place and world would be a better place if we all could model his simple, but powerful, message.

Paul, I just happened to think about you today and wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your informative and insightful posts. Through them, you have encouraged me on several occasions to skip fast food in favor of the health food store around the corner. Thank you for being a great next door neighbor in NYC and for continuing to be a wonderful friend and an inspiration through your comments on facebook and twitter. I hope you and your lovely wife have a wonderful day. Take care and God bless you, Paul.

Paul has an incredibly optimistic outlook, is positive and inspirational. In particular this is suprising given some of the hardships he has had to endure and this alone speaks millions of words in itself in that when someone has had such a difficult time to turn things around for good means that they have an amazing outlook and view on life in that many people in this world who have everything on a silver platter still complain and carry on that they don't have enough, Yet if only they would open their eyes to see that there are many people worse off. There is so much that Paul has written and included on his various websites that even after a few hours of reading and searching I'd barely looked at a drop in the ocean in that these websites must have taken years to create and there is a mammoth amount of work included so well done and congratulations on being such an inspiration to so many people worldwide. I will keep these websites bookmarked and when people try to smother my ideas and values I will look at these and realise it is worth plodding on as there are people who will always criticise and make you feel worthless but in fact some people do value small things in life which is good to know.

Without hesistation, Paul forwarded me two powerful books that he wrote - "Updating Your Identity and Breakthrough for a Broken Heart" which I read in record time for me personally. Paul's investment in me although I've done nothing more than email him a time or two has really encouraged me and given me even more hope for the existence of genuine and authentic people that care for others in this world. I consider Paul a friend and brother in Christ and I am thankful that he is allowing God to use him in such a powerful and constructive way. God bless you Paul.

We've not known Paul too long, but we enjoy talking to him and hearing his opinion. We just finished reading God Vs Religion, which is a very interesting philosophy and gives great oportunity for debate and regarding matters, which others dare not approach for fear of causing offense or further confusion.

If you have ever read or heard of one of the most infuential characters in the bible, Paul the Apostle both dedicated his life to changing the known world and would be the first person to get his hands dirty to share his wisdom to 1 person or 5,000. I've known Paul for 20+ years and he has the greatest capacity and intellect to devour information from more than books. He could care less about theories which he can easily understand, he just cares about getting results in his personal life that work. He has spent a lifetime learning from and practicing from the top movers and shakers in many areas. He does work hard but also smarter to apply his methods that are always cutting edge and proven to help others reach their greatness. Paul is definitely someone you want to learn from and have in your corner. He's helped me so many times to realize so many blind spots in both my company and personal life. If You or your company are finally ready to get serious about creating a better life or company then your search is over. Paul will give you so much more than just a temporary motivational speech with meaningless words.You'll soon realize that he will spend as much time as it takes to asking very specific questions that he can analyze. Once you or your company have listed out every problem you believe is holding you back from reaching your goals he can't help you. Until he understands what your daily life or business goal(s) and problems you've been unable to overcome and why do you think you or you're company are unable to move forward to reach your goal(s) again he won't be able to make a powerful impact in your life and company. Depending on how complicated your life or company is will depend on you being completely honest with him, budgets and goals for each dept and P&L sheets for previous years and especially your marketing budget and the specifics to how those funds are being used. This process alone will help you realize the many why's your life or company is like a ship in the ocean going in circles with no destination. This is where Paul excels and when you hire him after his first day of evaluation personally or corporately he will prepare a plan ot template of all the real problems on one side and on the otherside with at least 1 remedy without details and also his proposal and rough estimate of how long it will take and during that time to lead your company your company and a letter or memo giving Paul access to every department for the companies own good! Whether personally or commercially you will love him as you remain flexible to allow him to make daily or weekly meetings without arguements that are based out of fear or possibly moving personell. You have such a great mentor holding your hand when neccesarry, but you will be glad and realize you've made the best life changing or the best business choice. Grow your life or grow your business. Call him now if you are commited to reaching your goals now!

"[He] knows how to get the audience involved, even one consisting of young children, who otherwise may be considered to have a short attention span. I benefited from reading his advice, and can only imagine the impact that meeting him in person would have. Truly, he has the capability of being life-changing. Also, his work is full-time. The devotion to his craft that he has is evident by his time spent working at it. For him to travel to so many countries, doing such wonderful work, it is just more impetus to believe that he is determined to perform his work at the highest level possible."

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I love people and take great joy in helping them realize their dreams. However unlike many who sell their souls, I don't work with people I don't feel connected to, who irritate, annoy me, or I feel would be better served elsewhere. I know some will say I am egotistical and pretentious for thinking and running my life coaching services like this, but the truth is if I don't enjoy being with a person and am not passionate about helping them; how can I truly engineer breakthroughs for them? Even Jesus Christ only chose 12 disciples who He trained to be apostles and poured Himself into them for 3 years, empowering them to impact the world. Jesus loved everybody, but He did not invest and spend time with everybody. I take the same approach and handpick my clients based on inward affinity.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have had several supernatural visitations from heaven, wherewith the Spirit of God touched, spoke to me, showed me my future via visions and dreams, and miraculously interrupted my life to bring me into something far greater than I ever imagined. I write about some of these in my book Supernatural Fire, which you can read. Yet my life and profession has been an ongoing progression, growing in wisdom, revelation, and inward maturation. From speaking throughout the world as a minister, I began getting invited to speak as a motivational speaker to Universities, the U.S. military, corporations, cruise lines at sea, and many other venues. Today I am daily experiencing continual expansion and explosion as a result of decades of intense self-investment.
What types of customers have you worked with?
- personal affirmation and encouragement - overcoming adversity - update your identity - mental clarity and confidence - effective communication - reading and connecting with people - cross-cultural sensitivity and diversity - conflict resolution and reconciliation - women issues - dating and love coaching - skills coaching - academic success and career coaching - business success coaching - entrepreneurship and small business coaching - branding and creating a market niche - motivation, passion, and peak performance - problem solving and creativity - engineering breakthroughs and solutions - riding the waves of change and transition - recreating people and their companies - forgiveness and unloading emotional baggage - transcending tragedy and getting closure - how to say no without feeling guilty and divorce a devil - breakthrough for a broken heart - anger and emotional management - stress and anxiety reduction - cultivating healthy relationships - health and wellness - nutrition and body detoxification - fat flush and weight loss for a new you - breaking addictions and demonic influences - spiritual meditation and supernatural impartation - living miraculous, synchronicity, and serendipity - transformation and strategic collaboration
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Words are wonderful and have the potential to transform peoples lives. However the spirit and DNA a person carries is equally, if not more important, because that is the impartation ultimately you shall receive from them. The spirit of faith and inner strength I possess as a result of overcoming diversity at numerous levels, traveling throughout impoverished and war-torn nations, uplifting humanity throughout the globe, and having received advanced professional training from the best and brightest on earth myself to empower my own body, mind, and spirit means you will receive what I carry and inwardly possess when you spend time with me. Show me your friends and I will show you your future. Impartation, revelation, and transformation comes through association. Beyond the thousands of books I've read and experts I've learned from, I have a supernatural gifting from heaven to prophetically see into the hearts and minds of people, identify their past, and as a visionary see their future potential which I powerfully pull, propel, and launch them into! I create new beginnings for people.

A story is told of an event that took place in the villages of northern India where a missionary was preaching in a marketplace.

The missionary smiled and said, "I would like to hear what it is."
The Muslim said, "You know when we go to Mecca we at least find a coffin. But when you Christians go to Jerusalem, which is your Mecca, all you have is an empty grave."

The AFL has confirmed a secret meeting between members of Essendon's leadership group and league boss Gillon McLachlan took place last Monday night.
It's understood Essendon captain Jobe Watson called the meeting, which was also attended by leaders Brendon Goddard and David Myers. Channel Seven reported on Tuesday evening that the talks took place at McLachlan's Prahran residence as D-Day for Essendon's 34 past and present players embroiled in the supplement saga draws nearer.
The fate of the affected Bombers is expected to be decided by the AFL's Anti-Doping tribunal before the premiership season begins - with mass suspensions a distinct possibility.The players wanted to clear the air and said they were disappointed at the way they have been portrayed after the 25 players who were on the club's list in 2012 opted to sit out the NAB Challenge to protect the identities of the Bombers serving provisional suspensions.
However, the tribunal case and potential penalties were not discussed. The AFL's legal counsel Andrew Dillon was also present. While there were no Essendon officials present at the meeting, the club's hierarchy was aware of it and approved of it. "The Essendon players requested a meeting with Gillon, and he agreed to that meeting. It was a private meeting and we have no further comment to make," an AFL spokesperson told afl.com.au.
Both the league and Essendon told Channel Seven that the talks were positive.
The revelation comes just days out from the Bombers' first practice match of the year against St Kilda in the Victorian town of Morwell.

I am filing From 1040-EZ. Why can't I itemize my taxes?
You can't itemize your taxes if you file Form 1040-EZ.
Your itemized deductions might phase out based on your income.
The 1040-EZ only allows two types of filing status: Single and Married Filing Jointly. The 1040-EZ does not allow for you to claim dependents. If you have dependents you should file Form 1040 or 1040-A. For spouses choosing to file their taxes as married, filing separately they will need to complete a different tax return as the 1040-EZ does not allow for this filing status.
If you file a 1040-EZ you are not eligible to itemize your deductions. You are required to take the standard deduction. The standard deduction is an amount that reduces the taxable income and eliminates the need to itemize. While taking the standard deduction is easier, itemizing my result in a lower tax bill.
Depending on your circumstances, it may be worthwhile to itemize your taxes. You should calculate both methods to determine which is most beneficial to you.
If you choose to itemize you will need to complete a different IRS tax return — the 1040 or 1040A.
Ready to file?
You've got your forms. And we've got your back. There's only one thing left to do. Let's do this.
So how much will you get (or owe) this year? That's the million-dollar question. We happen to have three very useful calculators to help you estimate your refund or balance due.

John O'Ryan is not a god...not exactly. He is an eternal warrior destined to combat the Dark Lord through all time for dominion of the Earth. Follow him, servant of a great race, as he battles his enemy down the halls of time, from the caves of our ancestors to the final confrontation under the hammer of nuclear annihilation.
There are no reviews for this title yet.
Orion finds himself thrust back to the ancient world of Greece and must prevent the Greek army from destroying the citadel of Troy. If he fails, he will lose the only woman he has ever loved. But if he succeeds, the history of the world will be changed forever. The stunning sequel to Orion (Book 1).
At the end of the Cretaceous Period, Earth is in the grip of the dinosaurs. Their leader is a reptile, worshipped by the Egyptians as a powerful god for thousands of years. His mission is to destroy the Creators - Orion's masters - and rule the planet.
John O'Ryan is Orion - more than human, less than a god, cast away on the seas of Time to do battle among the Creators for the future of mankind. Now the eternal warrior finds himself separated from his great love, Anya, and marooned in Macedonia under the reign of Phillip - fighting alongside the young Alexander, and at the mercy of a Queen Olympias who is far more than she seems.
A new installment in the military science-fiction series by a Hugo Award-winner finds the superhuman, outer-space warrior John O'Ryan caught in the middle of a dangerous contest between a goddess and a god.
For the first time in more than 15 years, Ben Bova returns to the adventures of Orion - hunter, warrior, assassin, and time-traveler. Created by Aten, one of the god-like descendants of the human race 50,000 years in the future, Orion is forced to travel throughout space-time to do his Creator's malevolent bidding. In this audio exclusive, Aten sends Orion to the Britain of the Dark Ages.

Jim Henry - July 30th 2012
The average car on the road is now 11 years old, according to Experian Automotive.
That's because:
Leasing has largely come back, but that earlier drop is still affecting the market.
Auto lenders own leased cars and trucks throughout the lease. At lease end, consumers can buy them, or dealers can buy them to sell at retail. Or, consumers simply turn the cars back in at the dealership, and they end up back in the hands of the auto lender. In that case, the lenders typically auction them off.
The car companies and their "captive" lenders got badly burned – several car companies were forced to write off billions of dollars – when gas prices spiked in 2008, and the actual resale value of vehicles coming back from leases fell far below what the car companies expected.
Several auto lenders responded by quitting leasing entirely, especially banks, and most auto lenders cut way back on leasing. Even many of the captive finance companies cut back on leasing. Leasing has since come back, but slowly.
Meanwhile, many consumers decided they would rather buy than lease. Leasing is fine for a customer who doesn't drive too many miles per year, and who wants a new car every two, or three, or four years.
But the leased car is never paid for. If you buy a car or truck, the monthly payment will be higher than a comparable lease while the loan lasts. But eventually the loan is paid off, and the monthly payment goes to zero. That never happens in leasing.
The net result is that Experian Automotive announced recently that the average vehicle on the road in the United States in the first quarter of 2012 was 11 years old, up 1.9 percent from the same quarter a year ago. That's a sharp increase in only one year, considering there were more than 245 million vehicles on the road – or "vehicles in operation," to use Experian's term. The auto industry also uses the term UIO, for "units in operation."
For new-car sales to accelerate more than they already have, the auto industry needs more of those old cars to head for the junkyard.

Legal rights of a second wife wedded legally.
My dad had expired recently. My mother was his second wife. He married my mom after almost 5yrs the death of his first wife.My father kept my mom as nominee in all his official benefits including GPF, GL etc. But still agreed to give 1/3 part to dad's first wife's daughter who's married with two children (boys). Now the girl and her husband are harassing us and sent a letter to officials and MRO saying that my step mother and step sister are depriving me from taking those amounts, so add me as family member and give me those amounts. We are shocked by this letter. We want justice legally sir, we don't want any illegal amounts. We are in a bad financial situation and totally dependent on my dad. Please help us what benefits we will get legally.
The children of your father in both marriages have equal rights as heirs. This would mean the daughter from the first marriage and the children from the second marriage have one share each with the second wife If your father died intestate, that is without a will the property will have to be divided in equal shares among all heirs. Did you recieve a notice from your step sister? You will need to appoint a lawyer to appropriately reply to the notice if any and possibly try for an out of court settlement.

Certain claims may benefit from the priority of these applications.
The present invention relates to a data processing technique that permits identification of reliable symbols in the presence of Inter-Symbol Interference ("ISI") and other data correlated noise (collectively, "ISI"). Data correlated noise refers to a variety of phenomena in data processing systems in which a data signal interferes with itself at a destination. The present invention also relates to the use of reliable symbols to determine values of source symbols that are corrupted by ISI. The present invention finds application in systems where source symbols are members of high-order constellations. Previously, such systems have required the use of training symbols for operation in the presence of real-world ISI phenomenon.
ISI phenomena may be modeled mathematically. In the case where the data signal X is populated by a number of data symbols xn, captured signals yn at the destination 120 may be represented as:
y n =a 0 �x n +f(x n−K
where a0 represents a gain factor associated with the channel 130, f(xn−K
where a−K
ISI may arise from a variety of real-world phenomena. Multipath is an example of ISI that occurs in wireless and other communication systems. In a wireless system 200, shown in
ISI is seen as a serious impediment to the use of high-order constellations for data processing systems. A "constellation" represents a set of unique values that may be assigned to data symbols. Several examples are shown in
The problem is that, when using high-order constellations, blind equalization (equalization without either an initial training sequence, or 'refresher' training sequences) is very hard to achieve because the detrimental effects of ISI increase with increasing constellation order.
There is a need in the art for a data transmission system that, in the presence of realistic levels of ISI, uses blind techniques to decode symbols from a high-order constellation.
Embodiments of the present invention identify reliable symbols from a sequence of captured signal samples at a destination. Although the ISI effects associated with high-order symbol constellation transmissions impose large signal corruption on average, some samples suffer relatively low levels of ISI. These samples are the reliable symbols. Having identified reliable symbols from a sequence of captured signal samples, it is possible to reliably estimate the actual source symbols for all captured signal samples.
Identification of Reliable Symbols
A "reliable symbol" is a captured sample yn that is very likely to be located within a decision region of a corresponding source symbol xn transmitted from the source 110 at time n. At a destination 120, each constellation symbol is associated with a decision region that represents a set of all points that are closer to the respective symbol than to any other symbol in the constellation.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, identification of a signal yn as "reliable" may be carried out using a reliability factor Rn given by:
where the ci are constants representing any priori knowledge of the ISI effect that may be available. Generally, if nothing is known about the ISI, then the ci's may all be set equal to 1. In other situations, additional information as to the nature of the channel 130 may be known and the ci's may be given values reflecting this information. If the reliability factor of a sample yn is less than a predetermined limit value, designated "dlim" herein, the sample may be designated as a "reliable symbol."
Where samples on only one side of a candidate sample yn contribute to the ISI, the reliability factor of the sample yn may be determined using:
where K=K2 in equation (2). In respect to the forgoing reliability factors (equations (3) and (4)) the yn's may be real for one-dimensional signal structures or complex for two-dimensional signal structures.
For systems using two-dimensional constellations, such as the QAM constellations shown in
where y1
The predetermined threshold dlim may be determined based on the applications for which the identification method is to be used. In one embodiment, the threshold may be set to the value dlim=(K1+K2)�dmin where dmin is half the distance between two constellation points that are closest together. This threshold is appropriate for the case where
Experiments have shown, however, that operation can be maintained using the same threshold when
The threshold dlim also may vary over time. If the predetermined threshold is increased, then an increased number of samples will be accepted as reliable symbols though, of course, all of these symbols will not be of the same reliability. Similarly, by decreasing the threshold dlim, the number of samples that are designated as reliable symbols will decrease. These symbols will be those symbols with lower reliability factors. During operations of a reliable symbol detection method, the threshold dlim may be varied to maintain a rate of detected reliable symbols at a desired value. For example, if a rate of detected symbols falls below a first rate threshold, the dlim value may be increased. Or, if the rate of detected symbols exceeds a second rate threshold, the dlim value may be decreased.
If at box 2030 the reliability counter Rn does not exceed the predetermined limit, the method may continue. The index value i may be incremented (box 2050). If i=0, if n−i points to the candidate symbol yn itself (box 2060), the index value may be incremented again. Otherwise, the method 2000 may determine whether i is greater than K2 (box 2070). If so, then the candidate sample yn is a reliable symbol (box 2080). Otherwise, the method may return to the operation at box 2020 and add to the reliability counter based on the value of the next sample Yn−i.
The foregoing description of the method 2000 has presented operation when no a priori knowledge of the channel is available at the destination 120 (e.g., ci=1 for all i). When knowledge of the channel is available and ci values may be determined for one or more i, then at box 2020 the reliability counter Rn may increment according to Rn=Rn+ci�|yn−i| (shown as bracketed text in box 2020).
In this way, the method of operation 2000 examines the neighboring samples of yn (K1 precursors and K2 postcursors) to see if yn meets the criterion for being a reliable symbol.
When a destination captures a plurality of samples yn, each sample may be considered according to the method of
Additionally, the surrounding samples may be selected, as a sub-set of the full range i=−K1 to K2 and the associated surrounding symbols be examined. If a sequence of, say, three symbols yj to yj+2 have values that would cause the reliability limit dlim to be exceeded, then any symbol yi having the sequence of symbols within the −K1 to K2 window need not be considered under the method 2000 of
An alternate embodiment finds application where ISI corruption is expected to be linear and caused by symbols from only one side of a candidate symbol, according to:
In such an embodiment, the iterative scan illustrated in
In QAM systems, there are several alternatives to detect reliable symbols. As shown in
The method of
Alternatively, reliable symbols may be identified according to one or more of the techniques described in the Applicant's co-pending PCT patent application PCT/GB00/02634, entitled "Adaptive Blind Equaliser," filed Jul. 10th Jul. 2000, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing discussion has described various embodiments for identification of reliable symbols in a captured signal stream. Reliable symbols may be decoded immediately without further processing. Thus, for the set YRS of reliable symbols, ynεYRS, a data decoder in a destination 120 may generate decoded symbols {circumflex over (x)}n to be the constellation point closest to yn. The decoded symbol {circumflex over (x)}n may be the destination's estimate of the source data symbol xn.
The foregoing embodiments find application in applications in which captured samples yn do not exhibit phase offset with respect to the source symbols xn. Of course, in some applications, it may be expected that the captured samples yn will exhibit a phase offset with respect to their source symbols xn. Where captured samples yn exhibit a phase rotation with respect to the source symbols xn, a "reliable symbol" may be defined alternately as a sample yn that is likely to be observed in the annular constellation ring of its source symbol xn. Restated, ISI corruption is unlikely to push the source symbol xn from its constellation ring when observed as the captured sample yn at the destination 120. The reliability factor of equation 3 may be applied in this embodiment, using observed power levels of the captured samples:
and, when the signal is complex, equation 5 may be used.
Exemplary annular constellation rings are shown in
The methods of
In one embodiment a subset of the total range of power levels of yn may be used.
Use of Reliable Symbols
In further embodiments of the present invention, reliable symbols may be used as a basis for decoding transmitted symbols xn from received non-reliable captured samples that are not reliable symbols (yn∉YRS). A description of these embodiments follows.
Adaptation and symbol correction techniques per se are known. In communication applications, such techniques often are provided within channel equalizers. A variety of channel equalization techniques are known, including both time-domain equalizers and frequency-domain equalizers. At a high level, adaptation refers to the process by which the equalizer learns of the ISI corruption effects and symbol correction refers to a process by which the equalizer reverses the ISI effects to determine from the sequence of captured samples Y what the source symbol sequence X is most likely. However, for these existing techniques to work, in the presence of realistic level of ISI when operating with high-order constellations, it would be necessary to use an initializing training sequence and thereafter to use training sequences that are transmitted periodically. The use of the reliable symbols method overcomes this need. Any of a variety of known equalizers may be used with the reliable symbols technique and the adaptation process—the process by which the equalizer learns—can be rendered blind. Having learned what the ISI effects are based on the reliable symbols yRS, the equalizer may decode symbols {circumflex over (x)}n from all of the captured samples yn.
Perhaps the simplest embodiment of equalizer is the subtractive equalizer. In the subtractive equalizer, the adaptation unit 320 estimates the channel ISI coefficients �i. Using the estimated coefficients �i the symbol decoder 330 may estimate source symbols, {circumflex over (x)}n, by decoding y′n where:
in which {circumflex over (x)}n−i represent prior decoded symbols. The equalizer may generate a decoded symbol {circumflex over (x)}n as the constellation symbol that is closest to y′n.
As noted, different types of equalizers can be used. A decision feedback equalizer (also "DFE") may be incorporated within the symbol decoder 410 of the system 400 shown in
In this embodiment shown in
The foregoing embodiments have described use of reliable symbols to extend application of known adaptation processes to ISI estimation for high-order constellations in the presence of realistic levels of ISI without the use of training sequences. By extension, this use of reliable symbols permits data decoders to estimate high-constellation source symbols X from a sequence Y of captured samples. Advantageously, this use of reliable symbols may be made non-invasive in that it can be employed without changing known adaptation and symbol decoding processes in prior art equalization systems.
Estimation of Channel Coefficients Based on Reliable Symbols and Reliability
By way of illustration, a way in which reliable symbols can be used in ISI coefficient estimation will now be described briefly. Consider the estimation of one-dimensional ISI coefficients. After a sufficient number of reliable and their related surrounding samples have been identified, the estimation of the ISI coefficients may be obtained as the solution of a standard matrix equation:
where: � is a vector of the ISI coefficient estimates; H is an N�M matrix, with N≧M, in which each row contains the M surrounding symbol estimates or alternatively, the corresponding M surrounding sample values for each reliable symbol, and N is the number of related detected reliable symbols (a larger N is required for lower signal to noise ratios); and δ is an N�1 vector that contains the distances of the N reliable symbols from their estimated origin points.
By way of example, consider the following situation: The ISI length is assumed to have two coefficients (K1=0,K2=2) and the estimation is based on four reliable symbols. Let it be assumed that they correspond to time indexes: 100, 250, 300 and 320. Then,
δ={y 100 −{circumflex over (x)} 100 , y 250 −{circumflex over (x)} 250 , y 300 −{circumflex over (x)} 300 , y 320 −{circumflex over (x)} 320}T (10)
Optionally, however, the performance of the ISI adaptation can be improved by integrating a reliability weight factor into the calculation of ISI metrics. Consider the case of a subtractive equalizer. In such an equalizer, an adaptation unit 320 may estimate channel coefficients ai and generate an estimate of source symbols according to Eq. 9 above.
In an embodiment, an estimate � of a may include a weighting based on reliabilities associated with received signal values. In this embodiment an estimate � of a may proceed according to:
where W is a diagonal N�N matrix of reliability weights wi,i (wi,i=0 for all i≠j). In one such embodiment, the reliability weights wi,i may be obtained as:
w i,i =f(R i) (13)
where Ri is the reliability factor associated with an ith sample value, i being a member of the set of N sample values being used in the estimation process, and f(.) is a function that increases inversely with the associated reliability factor (e.g. as defined in equation 3).
Thus, symbols of varying degrees of reliability can be used with an appropriate reliability weighting.
In an embodiment, a destination may store captured samples in a buffer memory while reliable symbols are detected and while ISI estimation occurs. Thereafter, when the ISI metrics are available, the stored samples may be read from the memory and decoded. In this regard, provided the buffer memory is appropriately sized, all captured samples may be decoded.
Estimation of Constellation Symbols in View of Channel Gain
Channel gain (a0 in equation 1) can be a major parameter to be estimated in channel equalizers. To facilitate the foregoing discussion, coefficients ai are presented as normalized to the value of a0. Doing so permits the presentation to discuss the constellation diagrams of
The foregoing embodiments of reliable symbol detection find application in systems that may use conventional channel gain estimation techniques. Channel gain estimation may be improved, however, through use of reliable symbols. Accordingly, the following discussion presents use of reliable symbols to determine channel gain. The discussion assumes that ISI coefficients ai are unknown.
Communication through an ISI channel may cause captured samples to be observed having values that exceed the extreme points of a transmitted constellation. In fact, the samples could reach as far as
times the maximum transmitted symbols. In the absence of carrier phase offset, reliable symbols are those captured samples yn that are very likely to be located in a decision region of their source symbols xn.
According to an embodiment, a destination may identify a predetermined number of reliable symbols from the captured samples. Initially, those reliable symbols that have the maximum magnitude in each constellation axis may be set to the initial maximum constellation point in each axis. Let {circumflex over (P)}max 1 be the initial estimation of the maximum constellation point, then:
may be used as an estimation of the remaining constellation points in each axis, where i is an index traversing the number of constellation points in each axis direction and constellation represents the number of constellation points in the constellation. For irregular constellations, the calculation may be performed independently for each axis j in the constellation. For example, in QAM systems jε[I,Q]. In this case, equation 14 may become:
where axisj represents the number of constellation points in the respective axis of the constellation.
While the error in the maximum estimated points can be up to one unit, for points that are closer to zero the upper limit on the error goes down to,
for the points with the smallest magnitude.
Thereafter, the constellation points may be estimated. For the ith constellation point Pi:
{tilde over (P)} i 1=(2|i|−1).{tilde over (P)} 1 1 (17)
{tilde over (P)} 1 1 ={circumflex over (P)} i 1 −P 1. (18)
Let the reliable symbol yi n be expressed by the origin point plus the related ISI noise coefficient di n. From equations 16, 17 and 18:
where n is the index of the reliable symbol and i the index of the related constellation point. The ISI noise, di n can be modeled as a zero mean, almost gaussian distribution parameter that does not depend upon i. Using a weighted average estimator over {circumflex over (P)}i 1−yn i where {y} is a subset s of the reliable symbols:
and where the expectation of {tilde over ({circumflex over (P)}1, is:
where {circumflex over (P)} are the final estimation of the constellation points. The estimation in equation 20 may be done on the first estimation error. Equation 21 indicates that the estimation in 20 is not biased.
The demodulator 510 captures a signal Y from the channel and generates captured samples yn therefrom. The channel may be an electric, magnetic, acoustic, or optical propagation medium. Demodulators 510 for capturing such signals are well-known. On account of the ISI, samples from the captured signal stream generally will have no detectable correspondence to the transmitted constellation. It may take any number of values between the constellation points (e.g. 6.3, 6.5, −3.1). Captured sample data may be stored in a buffer 522 in the memory 520.
The memory system 520 may be logically organized to perform storage functions that may be necessary for operation of the structure 500 as an equalizer. A first area 522 of the memory may store captured samples y′n for further processing. This area may double as the frame memory 250 and buffer 270 illustrated in
As dictated by the instructions, operation of the processor 530 may be divided into logical units such as a reliable symbol detector 532, an adaptation unit 534 and a symbol decoder 536. The processor 530 may be a general purpose processor, a digital signal processor, an application-specific integrated circuit or a collection of processing elements. The processor 530 may generate data representing estimated source symbols {circumflex over (x)}n. These estimated source symbols may be output from the receiver structure 500 or, in an alternate embodiment, be returned to the memory 520 in a decoded symbol buffer 524 to await further processing, or both.
The foregoing discussion has presented techniques for identifying, from a sequence of captured samples, reliable symbols—samples that are likely to remain within the decision region of source symbols notwithstanding the presence of ISI corruption. Further, various data decoding techniques have been presented that permit ISI estimation to be carried out based on the identified reliable symbols and, therefore, permits decoding of all captured samples to occur. Additionally, the reliable symbol techniques permit equalization to occur as a "blind" process, without requiring use of training symbols to estimate the channel effect. The inventors have simulated transmission using 64-level QAM, 256-level QAM and 4096-level QAM. Use of these transmission constellations provides a 3 to 6-fold increase respectively in data transmission rates over 4-level QAM. Thus, the present invention contributes to data transmission systems having increased throughput without incurring expense in communication bandwidth.
Although the foregoing discussion refers to intersymbol interference as a source of data corruption affecting a source signal X, application of the present invention is not so limited. The present invention finds application in any situation in which data correlated noise occurs. References herein to "ISI" should be so construed.
Several embodiments of the present invention are specifically illustrated and described herein. However, it will be appreciated that modifications and variations of the present invention are covered by the above teachings and within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and intended scope of the invention.

Best Lemon Bars
Recipe by Luby Luby Luby
This recipe comes from Gourmet Magazine. It is very simple and delicious.
Top Review by cbw8915
Like Junebug, I found these to be good and easily made with normal ingredients. I did make a few adjustments. Those were to half the recipe and make in an 8z8 pan, added a little extra sugar(1 1/4 cups-recipe halved-but still found it to be a little tart for my taste), used bottled lemon juice instead of fresh, and used margarine instead of unsalted butter and omitted the salt in the crust. Also, I didn't use my food processor, just cut my butter, flour, and sugar with a pastry blender. Thanks for sharing your recipe, seahorse73!

Experience a different side to London's West End with these suggestions for great places to eat, cool bars for cocktails and hotels to suit all budgets
I had lived in London for over 10 years but when it came to meeting friends in the West End, I always struggled to come up with ideas as to where to go out. Often, I'd spend a small fortune on a rather disappointing meal and end the evening in a very average bar. But then I got a new job and found myself right in the heart of London - and my whole perception of the West End changed. So I thought I would share a few of my discoveries with you, all within walking distance of Tottenham Court Road tube...
Eating out
Oxford Street is a bit hit and miss when it comes to restaurants, but there are some great places if you know where to look. One of my favourites is the Eagle Bar Diner, which is just off Oxford Street in Rathbone Place. It's great value for money, with a vast selection of burgers, beers, cocktails and milkshakes (alcoholic ones if you're feeling brave!) The all-day breakfast menu is worth checking out, too.
Charlotte Street hosts a vast range of restaurants. Bertorelli is a consistently good Italian or, if you're in the mood for a Mexican, try La Perla; neither will break the bank. If you're treating yourself, check out the two-Michelin-starred French restaurant Pied à Terre - bring the credit card or, better still, someone else to pay the bill! Another very cool and contemporary place is the award-winning Japanese restaurant Roka, with an extensive sushi and sashimi menu and a good selection of vegetarian dishes - YO! Sushi prices it is not, though, so the credit card will need to come out again. Also worth mentioning is Shochu: the stylish downstairs bar serves some unusual and inventive cocktails, and the door policy ensures that it doesn't get too busy.
Cool cocktails
The Crazy Bear was dangerously close to where I used to work. I love this place (and I think they probably loved me, too, after a large proportion of my wages ended up here!) It can get very popular towards the end of the week and at the weekend, so I'd highly recommend booking a booth downstairs in the bar if there's a group of you. If you fancy a bite to eat beforehand, book a table in the rather good Thai restaurant - mention upon arrival that you'd like to go to the bar afterwards and they'll reserve a table.
Late drinks
A quick after-work drink sometimes ended up being a late night, and the final place for a last drink tended to be The Roxy on Rathbone Place; free entry on most nights before 10.30pm and discounted entry with a flyer from their website. For an even later drink, try Balans in Soho, described as 'an essential part of Old Compton Street', which stays open until 5am during the week and 6am at weekends.
Hip hotels
For the ultimate decadent rock'n'roll experience, try the Sanctum Soho Hotel, complete with 24-hour rooftop bar, spa tub, room service and in-house cinema as well as iPod docks and Wii consoles in every room. For a more traditional hotel, Hazlitt's is one of Soho's best kept secrets, beautifully furnished, unpretentious and elegant. Other places I'd recommend, although not in Soho, are Base2Stay in South Kensington, a hip hotel that's great value, with a range of rooms and suites, or the just-opened Think Apartments in Earls Court. Alternatively in Chiswick is the Chiswick Moran Hotel a great base if you don't mind staying a little further away.

If it's early in the relationship, there would be distinction between a serious relationship and one based on sex, if you're not just talking about the physical all the time. You would also mention your vision of a future home together and share priorities/desires for family.00|00|0

A Happy Saab New Year to one and all!
There is good news from the restructuring New England Saab Association. According to Seth Hedstrom, they had a meeting on November 17th and had about 24 folks show up to meet and greet those who are interested in keeping the club and its activities going. SOC08 was a major discussion item as NESA will be participating in this year's SOC activities. Seth and Johnny DelRosario gave the group a thumbnail sketch of what is needed for the support and planning of SOC activities. They have yet to decide specifically what event or events they will be doing but their ideas sound promising. We look forward to working with the group and hope to help them achieve their goals.
SCNA was privileged to be associated with the Great Lakes Saab Club (GLSC) and their presentation of SOC07. As is tradition with SOC?s, the club hosting each year chooses a charitable organization to support. For 2007, GLSC chose the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit. Just prior to the SOC, GLSC learned that this worthwhile organization had a terrible setback when thieves stole wiring from their kitchen and damaged equipment needed for food storage and preparation. Hopefully the contributions by GLSC and SCNA helped them get back in business sooner than anticipated. You can learn more about their mission by going to their website: http://www.cskdetroit.org/ We again thank all the folks at GLSC and the sponsors who contributed to a very successful SOC07!
We have received feedback from Paul Bottone, SOC09 Chairman on the scheduling of the ?09 SOC. Due to a couple of scheduling conflicts, no final date has been set as of Nines going to the publisher for printing. He hopes that a date will be firmed up by mid December 2007. I will post the latest info on the SOC B/B on Saabnet as soon as I get it: http://saabnet.com/tsn/bb/SOC/
On Monday, October 29th there was a significant fire at Marty Adams' Meyer Garage (http://www.meyersaab.com). We are glad that no one was hurt and that Marty's team is back at work. Let's support Marty and Annette and do whatever we can to get them up to speed ASAP.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year on behalf of the SCNA Board!
Ian GlendayPresident, SCNA

Fondant Covered Cake Rookie Question Help Pls?
Decorating By twinkletoe21 Updated 10 Dec 2008 , 11:06pm by kakeladi
hey everyone..
i was wondering what the correct or right way to defrost a frozen fondant covered cake?? do you think its still edible and okey to eat without having to taste old or anything? this is my first time actually freezing a fondant covered cake and im just clueless on what the next step is? hehe.. HELP PLS??
thank yoouuu!!!!
I haven't put fondant covered cakes in freezer or in the fridge, ever. But I have read that some put cakes covered in fondant in the fridge. And after they take the cakes out, and if there is any condensation, they use a hair dryer to dry it.
You might need to cover the cake really well and freeze it and after taking it out, thaw it in the fridge with the wrapping. This is how I do my cakes without any fondant or icing.
Hope you wrapped it good Put if from fzr to frig if possible overnight otherwise you can take directly from fzr to countertop overnight. Do NOT unwrap or open box. Just let it come to room temp for at leaste 4-5 hours. It will depend on the size of the cake. Of course the bigger the cake the longer it takes. A 4" cake w/filling will take longer than a single layer w/o filling etc.
You should not need to use a hair dryer on it if you give it plenty of time to come to room temp. That's all there is to it

"Was the prosfessional way the ..."
About: New Cross Hospital New Cross Hospital Wolverhampton WV10 0QP
Posted by Mr M F Cresswell (as ),
What I liked
Was the prosfessional way the staff when about there task from day one. Booking into the applebly suite on the morning of the addmission, and the smooth process in which each member of staff played there part in checking details, and the medical teams from each cousultant explaining the type of operation you where comming in for, also the best type of anaesthetic to suit you. After my operation i was taken to the Beynon Centre to recover, first thing i noticed was how clean and tied very where was.The staff that looked after me were all wonderful,i had to stay over night because i had not recovered enough to be released, the staff that looked after me where all wonderful, the nursing i received was better than any private hospital.
What could be improved
Time scale's for each person could have been staggered, instead of every one trying to book in at 7:00am at the Appleby Suite

When I say peak I mean when their hormones are through the roof!
Most Helpful Guy
That depends on what you mean by peak. A lot of people think guys peak at around 18. That's not true though. That urban legend was based on a study done by Kinsey back in the 1940s on the basis of a questioners showing boys said they had the most orgasms in their late teens. The same is true with the urban legend with women. They reported having the most orgasms in their 30s. Does having the most orgasms really mean the person has their highest sex drive or is at the height of their sexual fulfillment? I personally don't think so.
Young women tend to not know their bodies well when 18 or in their 20s (much more so in the 1940s due to more repression prior to the sexual revolution of the 60s which is when the urban legend result is based). So womens' orgasms tend to be more complicated. And they're usually associated with feeling comfortable and connected to their partner which relates to understanding themselves better. What I mean is maturity is important for the female orgasms. Their sex drive, interest or desire isn't necessarily lower in their teens or 20s. They are just less often in mental situations to maximize orgasms.
I don't know why teen age boys had more orgasms. by the way, the results of that study weren't based on orgasms from only sex. Maybe some of the boys were the horniest at that age. Maybe most didn't have as busy lives without careers or kids. Maybe it relates to their brains not being fully developed so they have less interests outside of sexual instinct. It could be a lot of things. From my experience though, 18 was not the peak or the horniest year for me. My sex drive was higher in my 20s due to being in more relationships. And my sex drive is as high now as I ever remember it.11|00|0
Thank you for the explanation! Mho!

Age: Brand spanking new.
Appearance: You'll have to wait and see.
Until when? Until Tuesday , when the new phone is launched at Apple's California headquarters.
Isn't it just going to look like an iPhone? Yes, but somehow more so.
How more so? Well, the word is – and these are just rumours, so you didn't hear it from me, yeah? – that the 5C will be available with a range of brightly coloured casings.
They already sell different coloured cases down the market. This is the casing itself – it doesn't come off. Leaked pictures suggest the colours will include blue, pink, yellow, white – possibly others. We just don't know yet!
Mine has Stewie from Family Guy on it. Will they be doing one of those, do you think? I don't have any information about that at this time.
It's funny because he has a balloon coming out of his mouth saying: "What the deuce are you looking at?" Forget about cases. The real point of the 5C isn't the casing – it's the price.
How much will it cost? No one knows.
I give up. What's the point of doing a Pass Notes if you haven't got any answers? Tech-savvy commentators predict that the 5C will be launched as a budget phone alongside a new flagship model, the flashier and considerably more expensive 5S.
Why have two? The 5C is probably aimed at the Chinese market, where cheap domestic models currently dominate. In the US and Europe, where smartphones are usually offered free with a lengthy contract, price is less of an issue. There is even some speculation that the 5C will be a China-only model.
Sounds like a pretty straightforward, uncontroversial product. You'd think so, but there are already allegations of unacceptable working conditions at the American-owned factory in China where the new phones are being manufactured. Apple says it is investigating.
Do say: "The C might stand for 'colourful', or it might stand for 'China' – we just don't know yet!"
Don't say: "I think the C stands for 'cheap labour'."

Hi there
The cc is on over at ScrapBoutique and Sharon kicked it off last night with the speed scrap! Our theme is School/Holidays and this is my page using October Afternoon Sasparilla.
I love these photos of my niece and nephew on a walk at the local Botanical Gardens. Each school holidays they love to spend time out and about with their Gran and luckily she loves to take lots of photos to document their outings!
I also have the page from my class with Sonia Thomason to share. Wow these Scrapmatts chipboard pieces are just so perfect! I loved working with them and can't wait to play with more of the items that I picked up at the Scrapmatts stand.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend and finding some time to create :)
