The invention relates to a synchronization circuit according to the precharacterizing clause of claim 1. Such synchronization circuits can be used for the production of an internal sequence of analog values which corresponds to an external sequence coded in a received signal and containing in each case repetitions of a binary fundamental sequence and which is synchronous with said external sequence, as required, for example, in the decoding of signals in communications technology, in particular of mobile telephony, and in positioning systems, such as GPS.
Various synchronization circuits of the generic type with a feedback function based on the cosine and square functions are known (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,579,337, 5,612,973, WO-A-01/37 441), the synchronization behaviour of which, however, is unsatisfactory in many cases and which cannot be used in the case of signals with high background noise.
It is the object of the invention to provide a synchronization circuit of the generic type which has more advantageous synchronization behaviour than the known synchronization circuits of the generic type. This object is achieved by the features in the characterizing clause of Claim 1.
The synchronization circuit according to the invention generally synchronizes rapidly and without problems, and, something which is of decisive importance in many practical applications, also under unfavourable conditions, such as a weak signal and strong disturbances. Thus, satisfactory synchronization behaviour sufficient for practical purposes could also be achieved in the case of large negative signal/noise ratios.
The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of figures which show only an embodiment.
The synchronization circuit according to the invention is suitable for all applications in which data are transmitted CDMA-coded. It can be used directly for processing an external signal derived from a received signal if the fundamental sequence is an m-sequence, but use for processing CDMA-coded signals which use other types of fundamental sequences, such as, for example, Gold sequences or Kasami sequences, is also possible.
Each m-sequence can be generated by a binary feedback shift register of length n and has, inter alia, the property that, with one exception, each sequence of a length n—in the case presented below as an example, n is 10—occurs exactly once in the m-sequence of length N=2n−1—in this case 1023.
Various representations are possible for the binary quantities and their logic operators. Most familiar is the representation by 0 and 1 with the addition modulo 2 (also known as exclusive-or logical combination) (b1,b2)→b1⊕b2 as both an associative and a commutative relationship, according to the following table:
The logical combination of an element with the zero element 0 leaves the former unchanged while the logical combination with 1 converts 0 into 1 and 1 into 0.
The Transformation
b→p=2b−1 (1)
leads to the following representation, which is equivalent but more easily implemented and which is used in the embodiment:
Here, the logical operation is produced by the mapping
(p 1 ,p 2)→p 1 ⊕p 2 =−p 1 ·p 2. (2)
−1 is the zero element. The logical operation can evidently be readily extended to include any real numbers, i.e. analog values.
Each m-sequence p1, . . . ,pN with N=2n−1 can be generated, starting from an initial sequence p1, . . . ,pn of length n which does not consist exclusively of zero elements, by recursively forming further values according to the pattern:
p i =p i−n ⊕p i−rm ⊕ . . . ⊕p i−r1, (3)
where 0<r1< . . . rm<n and the polynomial xn+xrm+ . . . +xr1+1 is prime with respect to the arithmetic defined above. For example, in each case
p i =p i−10 ⊕p i−3 (4)
may apply. Since all N possible segments of length n, apart from the segment consisting only of zero elements, are passed through before the initial sequence recurs, the choice of the latter is of no importance.
On transmission of CDMA-coded data, each transmission channel is characterized by a specific fundamental sequence which is repeated constantly. A section of a possible fundamental sequence is shown in
The synchronization circuit according to the invention comprises (
The output of the gain block 8 is moreover connected to a discriminator 9 which comprises a squaring circuit or another circuit mapping the input signal into the positive domain, a low-pass filter and a threshold value detector and outputs a binary signal. The discriminator may also be connected to any other point of the loop formed by the shift register 6, the feedback circuit 7, the gain block 8 and the adder 5.
The input signal is present as a digital signal of a specific bit resolution, e.g. 12 bit for the magnitude and an additional bit for the sign. The values may be represented as floating point numbers or as integers. However, they are designated below as analog values for distinction from binary values. The input signal contains a binary sequence which can be generated by a binary feedback shift register which has the same feedback pattern as the analog feedback shift register 1, i.e. in the case presented a feedback pattern in which in each case the new value is generated by logical operation according to (4). However, there may be a very strong background noise, the typical signal/noise ratio being, for example, −35 dB.
The analog values of the input signal, which are elements of an input sequence, first enter the buffer 2. There, a plurality, for example, twenty, instances of consecutively determined sequences of in each case 1023 values, each of which corresponds to a fundamental sequence with added background noise—which after all is sent twenty times in succession for transmitting one data bit—are superposed, i.e. the 1023 analog values of the first instance which correspond to the chips of the fundamental sequence are stored in the memory locations of the shift register 4 and then fed back sequentially to the adder 5, and the corresponding values of the second instance are added thereto and the original value is overwritten with the result. This is repeated until the sum of the twenty instances is stored in the shift register 4.
Since, in the summation, the noise is superposed only in an uncorrelated manner, a substantial improvement of the signal/noise ratio can be achieved thereby. If, however, the data bit value changes during the summation and the corresponding fundamental sequence is inverted, the summation can also lead to partial cancellation. In this case, however, no synchronization occurs within a specific time span with regard to this fundamental sequence which then leads to termination and filling of the shift register 4 with new data, as will be explained further below.
The basic sequence stored in the buffer 2 is now read out repeatedly for generating an external sequence and in each case fed to the input of the analog shift register 1. Since the fundamental sequence may be inverted by logical combination with the data bit, two analog shift registers can also be used, the external sequence being fed via an inverter to one of them.
That analog feedback shift register 1 which receives an advantageous sequence, i.e. one which contains a component as similar as possible to the coded fundamental sequence p1, . . . ,p1023, should now generate therefrom an internal sequence a1, . . . ,a1023 which corresponds to this fundamental sequence and which should moreover agree with the external sequence in terms of the phase position. The external sequence corresponds to repetitions of the basic sequence which contains the fundamental sequence p1, . . . ,p1023 with background noise added.
For the stability and the synchronization behaviour in the case of large negative signal/noise ratios, the choice of a suitable feedback function f is of considerable importance. With the functions known to date, it has not been possible to achieve any synchronization in the case of sequences with a high background noise. In the search for more suitable feedback functions, various features have proved advantageous. Thus, in the chosen representation of the binary values—in other representations some of the properties have to be appropriately transformed—they should as far as possible have the following properties:
The feedback function should substantially be a linear combination of the arguments in each sector which is defined by specific values of the sign of the arguments. The resulting discontinuities at the sector limits can be smoothed, but it has been found that such modifications tend to adversely affect the behaviour and therefore should not be large.
If the magnitudes of the arguments are 1, the magnitude of the feedback value should be slightly less than 1, preferably between 0.90 and 0.99. It is advantageous if the feedback function gives a value of magnitude 1 in the case of arguments of magnitude 1, i.e.
|f(x 1 , . . . ,x m)|=1 for |x 1 |= . . . =|x m|=1, (5)
and the function value is then multiplied by a selectable factor k<1, in particular 0.90<k<0.99. This multiplication is performed by the adjustable gain block 8, which follows the feedback circuit 7 evaluating the feedback function.
The sign of the feedback function should in each case the inverse of the sign of the product of the negative arguments, i.e.
sig(f(x 1 , . . . ,x m))=−sig((−x 1)· . . . ·(−x m)). (6)
If x1, . . . ,xm each have the magnitude 1, i.e. can also be regarded as binary quantities, said two properties result in f(x1, . . . ,xm) corresponding to the logical combination x1⊕ . . . ⊖xm.
It is furthermore advantageous if the feedback function f is invariant on interchanging the arguments. It should be antisymmetrical and monotonic as a function of each individual argument, i.e. when other arguments are kept constant.
A feedback function f which has all the abovementioned properties and with which synchronization could be achieved even in the case of signals with a strong background noise is
f(x 1 , . . . ,x m)=−sig((−x 1)· . . . ·(−x m))·(|x 1 |+ . . . +|x m|)/m (7)
Apart from scaling which ensures that (5) is fulfilled, this function is, in each sector, a linear combination of the arguments with a coefficient of +1 or −1.
For two variables, i.e.
f(x 1 ,x 2)=−sig(x 1 ·x 2)·(|x 1 |+|x 2|)/2, (8)
it is shown in
If a representation of binary values other than that in the example described is chosen, the conditions must be appropriately adapted to the feedback function. Furthermore, the factor k can, depending on implementation as a fixed or variable quantity, be integrated into the feedback function, which, for example, would require adaptation of the condition (5).
Since, thanks to the buffer 2, the synchronization circuit operates with stored data, its operating speed is independent of the chip rate of the received signal and may be substantially higher. The power of the internal sequence generated, which is tapped at the output of the gain block 8, serves as a criterion for successful synchronization. While the elements of the internal sequence have about the same value as those of the external sequence before synchronization, the latter is amplified after synchronization by a factor of 1/(1−k) which is thus usually between 10 and 100. The power of the internal sequence (ai) accordingly increases greatly, as shown in
If no synchronization occurs after a certain time, there is generally no sense in continuing the procedure with the same data. The lack of synchronization may be accidental, for example due to a particularly unfavourable form of the noise component, due to an unfavourable phase position of the received signal or due to an unfavourable sampling time before a data bit change, which leads to instances of sequences in which the component containing the desired fundamental sequence occurs with different signs being added in the buffer 2 (
There are of course various possible deviations from the example described. Thus, especially in the case of good quality of the input signal, the buffer need not be present and the input sequence can be fed directly as an external sequence to the input of the analog feedback shift register. There are also various possibilities for implementation; in particular, different degrees of integration can be chosen. The stated parts of the synchronization circuit need by no means be present as separate components. The shift register can, for example, be formed in each case by a corresponding memory with linear addressing and a write pointer and a read pointer.

This period drama picks up where this famous story ends. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet have escalated the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. The streets of Verona have become dangerous, traitors have emerged, and the kingdom is vulnerable to attack. The young ruling Prince of Verona, Escalus, wants to end the feud and bring peace to the kingdom. Following the sage advice of his sister Princess Isabella he devises a plan to marry a Capulet to a Montague to unite the families and strengthen his position. He commands a union between Romeo's cousin, the womanizing Benvolio, with Juliet's cousin, Rosaline, who is in love with Prince Escalus. Each is fiery and independent.
In the pandemonium on the streets after Romeo and Juliet's deaths, Benvolio saves Rosaline from assault. Instead of being grateful, she's insulting. Their courtship has a long way to go and they'll have to banter their way to a compromise in the midst of treachery, power grabs and palace intrigue. Another star-crossed love story begins.
The cast includes Wade Briggs ("Home and Away") as Benvolio Montague, Anthony Head as Lord Silvestro Capulet, Zuleikha Robinson as Lady Guiliana Capulet, Lashana Lynch ("The 7.39") as Rosaline, Ebonee Noel as Livia, Sterling Sulieman as Prince Escalus, Medalion Rahimi as Princess Isabella, Grant Bowler as Damiano Montague, Susan Wooldrigde as Nurse, Torrance Coombs as Paris, and Dan Hildebrand as Friar Lawrence.
"Still Star-Crossed" is produced by ABC Studios. Heather Mitchell ("Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy") is writer and executive producer. Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, and Michael Goldstein are executive producers. Michael Offer is executive producer and director of the pilot.

It`s great to be young. As a child, growing up in Africa, I could remember how happy I used to be when my father shares a bottle of Fanta or Coco-Cola to his children. Even though we were four in number, we were happy and proud of our father for providing us a bottle of Fanta.
We didn`t derive our happiness from the Fanta given to us, but the love our father had for us to buy that bottle of Fanta, was what made us happy.There is nothing a child likes more than love, care, happiness, toys and a healthy environment, yet many children in both Third World Countries and other Advanced Countries, are yet to experience what happiness is about.
Many children sometimes find themselves facing severe diverse problems more than the adults that brought them into the world. Children are violently separated from parents, ending up in foster homes, the orphanage and other health institutions.
In the United States, the National Runaway Switchboard estimates that about I.3 million runaway and homeless children are living on the streets and in Britain the Children Society is responsible for such issues, while in Belgium, `the Child Focus` is also actively dealing with truancy and other problems affecting children.
Many children are suffering worldwide, without any parents to cater for their welfare, yet there are are many people looking for a child without success. It`s the responsibility of parents to make a child happy. Children are national assets to development. They are the leaders of tomorrow. They must, therefore, be well treated.

Online learning: What Students Say
Thank you!
All your help made possible our article here in Educause Review – following a great discussion at the the 2016 Ann Ferren Conference. You can watch the panel here, or see the PowerPoint. Special thanks to Dr Melissa Scholes Young, Sarah McKinley '19, and Chandler Randol '18. More from the Ann Ferren Conference is here. Thanks again for all your help. And from a prior presentation on MOOCs.
Help! In preparation for a conference on teaching and learning, a couple of us are asking students: online courses are popular with students, but what do they like and not like about those courses?
If you've taken an online course (esp. from a college/university), please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about any or all of these questions. Please post (anonymously, if you like) at the bottom of this page. And please share with a friend! Thanks very much–
Why did you choose to take an online course? Convenience ("location")? Asynchronous (any time)? Course topic? Requirement (graduate early, etc.)? or a combination of these, or something else?
Did you expect the course to be easier or more difficult than a regular course? Was it?
What was the best surprise of the online-aspects of the course? Not "the book was good," but something about the course's "online-ness."
What was most disappointing about the course? Not "the book was bad," but something about the course's "online-ness."
Material was presented in a variety of ways: assigned books in hard-copy, online readings, instructor's videos (on Blackboard, YouTube, etc.), third-party videos (C-SPAN, Disney, YouTube, etc.), instructor's online PowerPoints or other written notes, etc. Which of these was most helpful/effective? Which of these was least helpful/effective?
How was the "classroom community"? What efforts were made to facilitate discussion among students? What worked, what didn't?
You have an audience of online instructors – mostly regular university professors who sometimes teach online, or who are about to teach online for the first time. What is the most important thing for them to know?
Thank you so much – please share with a friend or friends – and thanks again!
(Your comments may not appear right away – thanks)
Dayton Accords at 20
The 20th anniversary of the Dayton Accords (November 21, 1995) is much in the news. Continuing trouble in divided societies like Iraq, Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere illustrates how significant was the Dayton agreement that ended the war in Yugoslavia. But many questions remain.
The task for the EU, for Bosnia's benefit and for its own, is to help Bosnia find a new path forward.

Martin O'Malley on Wall Street reforms
"Should not be underestimated"
Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley spoke yesterday in Washington about his proposed reforms for Wall Street.
The former Maryland governor had three talking points: advocating a 21st century Glass Steagall Act, additional regulatory reforms, and an increase in prosecution of leaders at "mega big banks" he called "too big to fail, too big to jail."
Angell and Mahan: Lessons for Today
Norman Angell and Alfred Thayer Mahan argued more than a century ago that globalization and new technologies were challenging economic and security interests. Mahan's warnings seemed to be born out by WWI, WWII, and the Cold War. Angell's optimism was reflected by the emergence of the ECSC/EC/EU, and the surge of democracies and trade by the 1990s. In this century, though, Mahan seems resurgent, in Russia and China's naval expansions and in cyberspace.
Muhammad Depictions on D.C. Metro?
The current debate over political advertising in the Washington, D.C.-area transit system moves the issue from "free speech" to "public safety," and probably toward the Supreme Court.
In Schenck v. United States (1919). Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote in the unanimous opinion, "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre…." Does posting insulting (or any) depictions of the Prophet Muhammad on city buses and trains create a "clear and present danger"?


text:
A team of researchers at Moscow's National University of Science and Technology (NUST MISIS) have come up with a unique metamaterial which can make combat vehicles invisible, the authoritative scientific journal Physical Review wrote.
Metamaterials are artificially structured materials designed to control and manipulate physical phenomena such as light and other electromagnetic waves, sound waves and seismic waves in unconventional ways, resulting in exotic behavior that's not found in nature. Military is interested in metamaterials primarily for cloaking, to make their platforms, weapons and persons invisible from electro-optic sensors, radars and sonars.
They are predicted to be able to protect the building from earthquakes by bending seismic waves around it. Similarly, tsunami waves could be bent around towns, and sound waves could be bent around a room to make it soundproof.
Promise of Metamaterials
"The idea behind metamaterials is to mimic the way atoms interact with light, but with artificial structures much smaller than the wavelength of light itself," said Boris Kuhlmey from the University of Sydney. This way, their properties are derived from both the inherent properties from their base materials as well as the way they are assembled, such as the design of their shape, geometry, size, orientation and arrangement. Thus optical properties are no longer restricted to those of the constituent materials, and can be designed almost arbitrarily.
Metamaterial-enabled devices have a wide range of applications in the RF, THz, IR, and visible spectrum.
Invisibility Cloaks
Metamaterial cloaking is used to building devices that can hide something, so that a defined region of space is invisibly isolated from passing electromagnetic fields (or sound waves).
Radar Cloaks
In 2006 researchers demonstrated it was possible to absorb or direct electromagnetic waves around an object through a coating and make it "invisible". However, it only worked on microwaves and in two dimensions. Moreover previous cloaking efforts required materials as much as 10 times thicker than the wavelength being dodged. Missile guidance and marine radar wavelengths measure roughly 3 centimeters; that would require about a foot of coating.
Russian Scientists develop metamaterial to Make Combat Vehicles Invisible
"The experimental part of our research was the creation of a one-of-a-kind metamaterial consisting of a small flat grid of the so-called meta-molecules cut out from a solid piece of ordinary steel," the project's director Alexei Basharin was quoted as saying by the NUST MISIS press service. The NUST MISIS team worked closely with colleagues from the University of Crete, Greece
Basharin said that thanks to the special shape and configuration of these cells the scientists managed to obtain metamaterial with absolutely unique properties. This metamaterial can be used to make supersensitive sensors to detect explosives and chemical weapons.
"An addition of a nonlinear semiconductor will turn the metamaterial into an adjustable screen for stealth technologies, which make fighting vehicles less visible in radio, infrared and other bands," the NUST MISIS press service said in a statement. The newly obtained metamaterial can also become a vital element of the latest types of lasers and serve the basis for quantum computers.
Ultra-thin Dielectric metasurface cloak of University of California-San Diego
Boubacar Kante, a professor at the University of California-San Diego and his colleagues, have developed the first effective "dielectric metasurface cloak" based on a new material consisting of a layer of Teflon substrate with tiny ceramic cylinders embedded into it.
Kante said his material requires thickness of only 1/10 of the wavelength. Hiding from that same 3 cm wavelength would thus only require about a 3 mm coat. Different thicknesses (thinner) could be used for electromagnetic waves as small as those of visible light (which ranges from about 400 to 700 nanometers.) The cloak would be useful for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and other planes, ships and anything else interested in dodging radar could have a use for it.
IOWA Engineers develop flexible skin that traps radar waves, cloaks objects
Iowa State University engineers have developed a new flexible, stretchable and tunable "metaskin" that uses rows of small, liquidmetal devices to cloak an object from radar. By stretching and flexing the polymer metaskin, it can be tuned to reduce the reflection of a wide range of radar frequencies.
"It is believed that the present meta-skin technology will find many applications in electromagnetic frequency tuning, shielding and scattering suppression," the lead authors Liang Dong, associate professor; and Jiming Song, professor wrote in journal Scientific Reports.
Metaskin is composed of rows of split ring resonators embedded inside layers of silicone sheets. The electric resonators are filled with galinstan, a metal alloy that's liquid at room temperature and less toxic than other liquid metals such as mercury. Those resonators are small rings with an outer radius of 2.5 millimeters and a thickness of half a millimeter. They have a 1 millimeter gap, essentially creating a small, curved segment of liquid wire.
The rings create electric inductors and the gaps create electric capacitors. Together they create a resonator that can trap and suppress radar waves at a certain frequency. Stretching the meta-skin changes the size of the liquid metal rings inside and changes the frequency the devices suppress.
Tests showed radar suppression was about 75 percent in the frequency range of 8 to 10 gigahertz, according to the paper. When objects are wrapped in the meta-skin, the radar waves are suppressed in all incident directions and observation angles.
Optical Cloaks
3D invisibility "skin" cloak at Berkley
Berkeley researchers have devised an ultra-thin invisibility "skin" cloak that can conform to the shape of an object and hide it from detection with visible light. Although this cloak is only microscopic in size, the principles behind the technology should enable it to be scaled-up to conceal macroscopic items as well.
They demonstrated a metasurface cloak made from an ultrathin 80 nanometers thick layer of gold nanoantennas that was wrapped around a three-dimensional object about the size of a few biological cells and arbitrarily shaped with multiple bumps and dents. The surface of the skin cloak was meta-engineered to reroute reflected light waves so that the object was rendered invisible to optical detection when the cloak is activated.
When the cloak is turned "on," the bump-shaped object being illuminated in the center white spot disappears from view. The object reappears when the cloak is turned "off." This is the first time a 3D object of arbitrary shape has been cloaked from visible light.
Invisibility in diffusive light scattering media
In 2014, scientists demonstrated good cloaking performance in murky water, demonstrating that an object shrouded in fog can disappear completely when appropriately coated with metamaterial. This is due to the random scattering of light, such as that which occurs in clouds, fog, milk, frosted glass, etc., combined with the properties of the metatmaterial coating. When light is diffused, a thin coat of metamaterial around an object can make it essentially invisible under a range of lighting conditions.
While metamaterials may not yet be making objects invisible to the eye; they could be used to redirect other kinds of waves, including mechanical waves such as sound and ocean waves. Ong points to the possibility of using what has been learnt in reconfiguring the geometry of materials to divert tsunamis from strategic buildings. French researchers earlier this year, for example, diverted seismic waves around specially placed holes in the ground, reflecting the waves backward.
Acoustic Cloak
In 2014 researchers created a 3D acoustic cloak from stacked plastic sheets dotted with repeating patterns of holes. The pyramidal geometry of the stack and the hole placement provide the effect.
Prof Wegener works on cloaking, but his aim is not to make things invisible. He wants to hide them from physical forces, and last year his lab produced a honeycomb-like material that made an object beneath it unfeelable. This particular metamaterial was a solid lattice that acts like a fluid in certain ways, deflecting pressure around its hidden cargo.
Now the tiny, hidden cylinder was very small in that case (less than 1mm) but related work by Prof Wegener's team was picked up by French physicists and engineers, who showed that a careful pattern of drilled holes could divert damaging earthquake vibrations.
But an invisibility cloak needn't be a sinister tool of war. Vanderbilt's Valentine suggests architectural usage. "You could use this technology to hide supporting columns from sight, making a space feel completely open," he said. Other potential uses include rendering parts of an aircraft invisible for pilots to see below the cockpit, or to rid drivers of the blind spot in a car.
Metamaterials could also absorb and emit light with extremely high efficiency — for example in a high-resolution ultrasound — or redirect light over a very small distance. This, says Anthony Vicari of Lux Research, "could be used to improve fibre optical communications networks, or even for optical communications within microchips for faster computing."
Super lenses
Researchers at Michigan Technological University in continuation of work done by Durdu Güney, a professor of electrical and computer engineering have found a way to pass light waves to pass through the lens without getting absorbed. They utilized metamaterials based on thin silver films tweaked at the subwavelength scale so that light waves pass through instead of reflecting off the metal.
"Aluminum and silver are the best choices so far in the visible light spectrum, not just for a perfect lens but all metamaterials," Güney says, explaining that metamaterials have been successfully created with these metals, although they still tend to absorb light waves. "Loss—or the undesired absorption of light—is good in solar cells, but bad in a lens because it deteriorates the waves," he explains.
Optical Computer Networks
In 2012, the Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute published a paper with South Korean scientists describing a metamaterial-based electro-optical modulator made from a sheet of graphene just a single atom thick that was able to switch lightwaves at terahertz frequencies.
More recently, a group at City College of New York, led by the physicist Vinod Menon, demonstrated light emission from ultrafast-switching LEDs based on metamaterials. Together, such innovations could make possible optical computer networks far faster than today's gigabit networks.
Digital Metamaterials
Cristian Della Giovampaola and Nader Engheta from the University of Pennsylvania propose using just two subunits with opposing properties. Called "metamaterial bits," these are like the 1s and 0s in a binary code. They used nano-sized pieces of silver and silica, which interact with light in very different ways: One's a metal, the other's an insulator.
The duo used a computer simulation to create layered structures that constitute bytes of increased functionality and complexity. Once they were "digitized," the resulting material had its own unique properties, distinct from its constituent subunits.

Invitrogen Ponies Up $6.7B for Applied Biosystems
Invitrogen reports that it is willing to pay $6.7 billion for Applera's Applied Biosystems through a cash and stock transaction. This combination will create a formidable supplier of reagents and systems, expected to generate approximately $3.5 billion in combined sales.
Applera-Applied Biosystems shareholders will receive $38 for each share of the company's stock that they own in the form of Invitrogen common stock and cash. This represents slightly more than a 17% premium on its closing price yesterday. The firm's value rose from $32.44 at the end of trading yesterday to open today at $34.80. Invitrogen's share price, on the other hand, opened trading 10% lower, but is slowly climbing in early morning trading.
"This is certainly good news at least in the near term for Applied Biosystems," comments John Sullivan, director of research, Leerink Swann. Applied Biosystem shareholders have benefited in the recent past from good share price even in a lousy market and they will continue to benefit from this deal, he notes.
"In order for Invitrogen shareholders to benefit, the company is going to have to deliver on the cost-cutting targets that they have reported," Sullivan adds. Invitrogen expects that the merger should generate a run rate of approximately $125 million in cost savings by the third year. This sounds reasonable, according to Sullivan, but he cautions that the current management team at Invitrogen hasn't had the best success in integrating acquired assets.
The transaction, which is expected to close in fall, is also expected to bring about a run rate of at least $50 million in annual operating income by the third year. Sullivan says that this may be tougher to realize than the cost-cutting goal. "While there are obvious ways to achieve the cost-cutting target, it is more difficult to understand how the revenue-synergy target will be achieved."
Sullivan anticipates that an important area that will help the combined company save money will be in the purchasing of raw materials as well as equipment and services to run the firm. Also, they will get rid off redundant resources including staff, especially in the sales and support department, since the two companies have similar products and thus similarly focused sales teams. Finally, Sullivan identifies consolidation of manufacturing facilities as another way the entity will look to shave costs.
"The question is," according to Kevin Hrusovsky, chief executive and president of Caliper Life Sciences, "how much cost synergy they really will achieve." This will be key to the merged company's customers realizing the true benefit of one-stop shopping, he comments.
"I view the merger of Invitrogen and Applied Biosystems as productive for a majority component of the industry," says Hrusovsky. The combination of Invitrogen's consumables with Applied Biosystems' systems covers about 70% of what the industry needs, according to Hrusovsky.
Removing bottlenecks in sample prep and allowing 24/7 operations through automation is where companies like Caliper, with lab chip technology and liquid-handling tools, will be able to collaborate and provide services as companies like Invitrogen and Applied Biosystems integrate.
Financial details of the transaction includes an expected split between cash and stock of 45% and 55%, respectively. Applera-Applied Biosystems shareholders have the option to request all cash or all stock, subject to possible proration.
Applera-Applied Biosystems shareholders will receive a value of $38 a share if the 20-day volume-weighted average price of Invitrogen common stock is in the $43.69–$46.00 range three business days prior to the close of the transaction. The total value per share will differ if Invitrogen's 20

Michael, a missionary priest in Kenya, has just killed Munyasya, a retired army officer. It might have been an accident, but Mulonzya, a politician resentful of the power of foreign churches, tries to exploit the tragedy for his own ends. Boniface, a young church worker, and his wife, Josephine, have just lost their child. They did not make it to the hospital in time, possibly because Michael made a detour to retrieve a letter from the Mission, a letter from Janet, a former volunteer teacher who was the priest's neighbour for two years. It is Munyasya who has the last laugh, however, when he reveals that he was probably in control of events all along. Thirty years on, the same characters find their lives still influenced by his memory.

The Band Buddies Program
"Connecting generations through music"
Created by Faye Rader
"Band Buddies" is a program created and implemented by Faye and represents a cooperative effort between the North Star Community Band and Faye's fifth Grade Band. The goal is simple: to connect two (or more) generations through MUSIC. this is the way that music has been shared throughout the centuries. Music connects poeple to people, bridges diverse cultures, sociueconomic backgrounds, and generation gaps. We believe that music is meant to be shared, and the Band Buddies program is one way of doing that.
Each year, members of both bands
(usually playing the same instrument) are paired together and become pen-pals. Students
and adults are encouraged to write at least once a week. The letters come in at a rate
that would make the Postal Service jealous! The band-buddies talk about practicing (or not
practicing, although we do try to avoid that subject!), work and school, their favorite
songs, and anything else that comes to mind. This quickly evolved into treats. Faxes,
stickers, pencils, bookmarks, pictures, instrument charms, tasty treats (which were VERY
difficult not to confiscate!)all began to travel back and forth between the bands.
Students began to make extra visits to the music room to see if there were any messages
from their "band buddy". Adults stood around the podium after rehearsal (this is
at 10:00 p.m.!) awaiting letters from the kids.
Then we begin the rehearsal phase. Each band will work on the elements of their part of the program. Some of the music will be played only by the North Stars, while some of the music is played only by the fifth grade band. The ultimate, of course, is the music that will be played by the combined band (the entire membership of both bands). Initial rehearsals are separate, and the excitment really begins to build for their first combined rehearsal (when the buddies finally get to meet.
Finally the moment arrives: the first combined rehearsal. With help from our adult sponsors, the band buddies get to meet. There is a pizza party, where the order of the evening is lots of talking, lots of food, and lots of music - not necessarily in that order). Both bands get a chance to practice together, and we usually try to give at least one combined performance a year.
In 1996, the Band Buddies program received special recognition - the combined band (adult and fifth graders) was asked to perform at the Music Educators National Conference. At the conference, music educators from across the country gather to discuss education and listen to select ensembles. The Band Buddies were there to "teach the teachers" how to implement similar mentoring programs in their districts. They performed several pieces (both as individual bands and as the combined band). It was a wonderful success.

A front page reference in the Irish Independent to a piece of research from Barclays Capital warning of a potential rescue package by the International Monetary Fund sent the yield on the 10 year Irish bond rate soaring to a new record high above 6.5%.
The IMF felt obliged to come out and deny the likelihood of intervention with a spokesman commending the "assertive measures" taken by Ireland to deal with its banking crisis, saying: "We do not envision that IMF financing will be needed."
Assertive the Irish Government certainly has been as it has followed to the letter the IMF instructions to cut government spending to try and solve the budget deficit. Forecast general government spending this year at Euros 70.5 billion is 5 billion less than in 2009. Yet the policies of austerity are limiting growth with unemployment now up to 13.9 percent, consumer spending sliding with declining prices doing nothing to encourage a change.Like so many other countries in Europe the hope is that exports will get economic growth moving again but being tied in to the Euro has removed the easy way of doing that by devaluing the currency.

In my sixth month, I can't get rid of the nightly terror that has arisen in leg cramps. I used to have them as an adolescent but didn't experience them with such severity. The only thing that really helps is to try to work out the knots while they are cramping and use a somewhat expensive product from BeautiControl called Herbal serenity foot creme. That was a recommendation from one friend, but it doesn't help prevent new cramps though it does tremendously relieve the soreness that they produce. Any advice?Answer Question

Undergrad music programs offer classes in music history, style and improvisation, and teach methods for improving instrumental and vocal technique. Undergraduate voice programs include courses in musical expression in live performances, which helps students develop the ability to play music comfortably under the stress of a large audience. Educational and training requirements for music directors and composers vary, although most positions require related work experience, found by submitting recordings of their compositions to bands, singers, record companies, and movie studios. Composers may promote themselves directly through online video or audio of their musical work.
Musicians and singers need extensive training and practice to acquire the skills necessary for stage performances at a professional level. There's an old saying that you need to practice a song a thousand times before you begin to really hear what's inside. The best musicians typically begin singing or learning to play either guitar or drums by taking private music lessons at a young age, but it's never too late in life to pursue music just to enjoy playing. In addition, you must practice often to develop latent talent, and keep adding fresh material throughout your musical career. Beyond consideration for Victor Valley College guitar classes, you may think about Wayne County Community College credit classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

In general, is anyone else sick and tired of all these WHINEY rich kids
whose Mommy and Daddy are obviously paying for the houses these spoiled
brats are "buying" on this show?
My husband and I are both professionals raising two children, and BARELY getting by, while these snotty twenty-somethings are on the show "buying" houses that they cannot possibly afford. Does House Hunters have something against real, working families, or are these spoiled kids all part of the House Hunters extended family (producers, writers, executives etc):
In closing, please put some real people with real incomes on your show to at least give it a modicum of reality. Enough is enough of couples who are "musicians" or "artists" or "party planners" or other such nonsense.
Join the REAL world!!!
Especially when you get to see the interiors of so many differently
styled homes, some with breathtaking oceanfront views or distant
mountains and valleys providing the terrace with eye candy.
What gets me is the insistence that no kitchen is complete or saleable without granite counter-top, that every home has to have at least three bathrooms, that a master bedroom is too small if it's anything less than 14' x 18', and that any room featuring wallpaper is an absolute no no.
Interesting too, to see couples (interracial, hetero or gay) viewing the properties together, some couples looking about as ill-matched as you could possibly imagine but obviously each couple totally committed to living together indefinitely in homes that range from 200,000 to 1.5 million of U.S. dollars, and often basing their decisions on how big the yard is for their beloved dog or how safe the yard is to accommodate kids and pets when it lacks a proper fence.
Even more fascinating is House Hunters International which shows the vast difference in standards between European and American real estate markets, along with some gorgeous scenery in exotic settings which compensates (sometimes) for a certain lack of craftsmanship in utilities.
"House Hunters" is a great show on HGTV with a simple concept - house
hunters look at three homes and choose one, discussing the pros and
cons in between. Hosted by the lovely Suzanne Wong, there is something
very involving about this show and some other HGTV offerings, such as
Designed to Sell, Buy Me, and How Much is My House Worth.
I think it's the couch potato aspect combined with fantasy that works well for this show and others on the network. We can pick our own favorite house and then say things like, "I knew they'd pick that one," or "They're idiots" when they choose, and we can also discuss how much money we think they have while asking the age-old question, "What is the big deal with hardwood floors and granite countertops?" (Without them, your house may as well go into foreclosure.) And we can listen to them carp about the color of the rooms - as if they aren't willing to paint. When the home owners are revisited in the new place later, we are able to analyze their taste. This all easily replaces looking out the window while the new neighbors are moving in.
The house hunters themselves are usually delightful people with whom the audience identifies, though not only. Many of them have pets, and if they don't, they usually acquire them once they move. So one can ooh and ah over babies and puppies. HGTV is onto a good thing.
I have now seen a few episodes of this show, and at first I thought,
'I'll watch at least 10 episodes before making a judgment.'
Well, here is the judgment.
Each episode contains a family looking for a house. Sounds like a good idea. But where it falls apart is the people.
They endlessly complain about the most trivial details.
Two of my least favourite quotes from a family on this show are: "I don't like the basement" "I don't like dining rooms. They're a waste of space." In response to the first quote, just don't go to the basement! In response to the second quote, this is a dining room, a deeply rooted convention.
But what makes these complaints even worse is that these houses are incredibly expensive. People, you have the opportunity to buy an expensive house. Be even a tiny bit grateful!
In summary, this show is full of endless complaints.
I wish I could rate this negative with all the being of my soul. 0/10!
EDIT: The exact same can be said for House Hunters International.
I have been watching this show for sometime now I am always amazed at why Americans complain so much. Why is it so important to have a granite counter top etc etc. Also, if things don't suit them then they should be prepared to pay more. I have been in Real Estate and realise you can have everything you want if you have the money, if not, just compromise.
My friend TIVOs this show so I am subjected to it every time I visit. Will somebody please tell these annoying crybabies to shut the flock up already? For God's sake, people are losing their homes every day and all they do on this show is hiss and moan about the counter tops, the paint, the appliances...You have all this money to buy an otherwise really great house and you are worried that the stove isn't pretty enough? Hello, here is a scientific breakthrough--wait for Home Depot to have one of its no interest for 12 months deals and get the one you want. Oh, the family room is too small! You know what is small and uncomfortable? The tent cities that once-proud homeowners are forced to live in now.

Ashes (2011)
Stanton tries to help Jesus, but can't figure out what is wrong with him. I'm not sure how easy it is to diagnose a jellyfish sting, but I guess it must be difficult since Stanton decides the only way to cure Jesus's mystery ailment is to inject him with the experimental vaccine he's been working on. Granted the vaccine is for Aids and it's still in the trial stage with one patient, but what the heck, may as well see if it can save the kid with the unknown illness.
This proves to be a bad move since the injection causes an immediate reaction when Jesus clamps his teeth down on the Doc's forearm. Jesus needs to be forcibly removed from Doc's arm and begins to convulse while Stanton rethinks giving Jesus the shot. The next day the nurse lets the Stanton know Jesus passed away during the night.
Stanton's not down with that, since now he's got to worry that someone will discover he gave the kid an experimental Aids vaccine which is sure to figure into his demise. Stanton's already overworked and ignoring his family due to long work hours, plus the experimental research. And it doesn't help that he's starting to feel woozy from the bite on his arm, which is looking worse and worse. Oh yeah, and he's starting to hallucinate and have nightmares about the kid.
This is a zombie movie in name only. Stanton keeps getting worse and bodily fluids can spread the virus. So as people get sick, they bite each other and it spreads further. There's also a subplot about the government and their interest in Stanton's research, which as you can imagine is not in the public's best interest. Dr. Stanton is played by Brian Krause, who I always think of as the guy from the 1992 Stephen King movie, Sleepwalkers.

Like all terms which attempt to define a period, "Romanticism" is quite large in its scope. Not only does it describe the literature from the late-18th to mid-19th centuries, but the politics, philosophy, and arts as well. "Romanticism" was originally derived from romances, which, perhaps negatively, were known for their extravagance and reliance upon emotion. In the late-18th/early 19th century, however, the term began to be used to describe the new artistic landscape, originating in Germany and spreading to Europe. As is the case with most, if not all, periods, describing all of the characteristics of the Romantic period is difficult, but some of its fundamentals include the following: a belief in man's inherent goodness, the importance of emotion/passion, the importance of the individual/the personal, a focus on man's interaction with nature/the natural and its connection to the spiritual world. Some of the more famous Romantic authors are Byron, Coleridge, and Shelley, but I think the quintessential expression of Romanticism can be seen in Wordsworth's preface to the second edition of Lyrical Ballads.
When I think of romanticism in literature, I instantly think of the great poets from that time: Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, etc.. These poets wrote about the beauty of the natural world and advocated a return to intuition and emotion following the logic-bound era of neoclassicism. I like dstuva's statement that the romantic writers were like "rock stars." There are definitely similarities between the two. The romantics were rebellious, moody, and young. Also, they were admired and celebrated like few poets are today. The romantic period is also very idealistic in style. Nature was seen as benevolent and pastoral rather than dangerous or hostile. For the ultimate in romanticism, read Wordsworth, especially "Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey." It is rich, nostalgic, full of feeling and natural imagery--all characteristic of the romantic movement.
In addition to the previous posts, you might note that Romanticism also produced Gothic literature. Thus, writers like Edgar Allan Poe and Mary Shelley used Gothic elements and style to promote Romantic ideology.
In regards to American Romantic literature, it is very similar to British Romanticism because it focuses on escaping the city, love or nature, feeling and imagination trumping logic and reason, and strict rhyme/structure for poetry. American Romanticism is especially important because it ushered in the Idealistic Transcendental movement which, of course, left lasting effects on American philosophy and literature.
I'll help you with a little background. The romantic period, like all literary periods, is a reaction to what came before it. Unlike most literary periods, though, it was an almost complete rejection of the immediate preceding period. The romantics rejected nearly every idea from the enlightenment/neoclassical writers and artists. It may be the most drastic reaction in literary history. Think of it as rock-n-roll reacting to the "older" generation's music in the 1950's. And the romantic writers in some ways were the rock stars of their day. At least that's how we sometimes think of them today.
can someone explain to me what the theme of nature in romantic literature is?
Thank you all of you for ur replies. Actually I have a project on the Romantic Period of british poetry. Please help me with suggestions of some books n websites for it.
Thanks once again.

We enjoy partnering with our employer partners across sectors, all sharing our commitment to bringing returners back into organisational roles in a supportive and mutually-beneficial way. Here is what they say about working with us.
"At O2 we are always looking for new ways to attract talent and specifically female talent in STEM. Women Returners provided us with a one stop shop of well qualified candidates and professional support to launch the first of our programmes. The team at Women Returners supported us every step of the way, from supporting with the design of our recruitment process, helping to identify the candidates to shaping the programme and training. With a focussed and consultancy approach Women Returners were willing to tailor to suit the company and the requirements of the O2 programme. Following the success of the programme we sponsored the Women Returners Conference which was a massive success and again showed the amazing talent looking to return to the workplace."
"I believe that working with Women Returners is the most effective and efficient way to run a returner programme. They have the expertise, the networks and the knowledge and provide a specialised and independent source of support to HR and to the participant group. After 30 years in HR, I have extensive experience but not of supporting people back to work after long career breaks. Women Returners made this process easy for us and were a major factor in the success of the returnship. I would not run another programme without them."
Julie Thornton, Head of HR, Tideway
"We launched our Career Returner Programme to attract talented qualified professionals to a career in local government. This was a key part of our recruitment strategy to recruit to roles where we have traditionally struggled to source good candidates. Working with Women Returners we recognised there is an 'untapped' talent pool of local people looking to return to their profession following an extended career break. Women Returners were an obvious partner as they have achieved so much in this area and have extensive experience as well as a vast network of potential candidates. Women Returners have provided the coaching element of the Programme which will support our candidates back into meaningful work following their career break. I'm confident that our Returners will all go on to have successful careers at Enfield Council. This is an important initiative and I'm proud that Enfield Council is the first public sector organisation to launch a returner programme. I would highly recommend Julianne and her team at Women Returners to any organisation."
Julie Mimnagh, Head of HR Operations, Enfield Council
