This invention relates generally to signal transmission systems, and particularly to a time domain system wherein spaced narrow signal bursts, impulses, or single cycles, or near single cycles sometimes referred to as monocycles of electromagnetic energy (radio or light) or sonic energy are transmitted in a compatible medium and where signals have wideband frequency content and wherein discrete frequency signal components are generally below noise level and are thus not discernable by conventional receiving equipment.
Transmissions by radio, light, and sonic energy have heretofore been largely approached from the point of view frequency content, or band of frequencies. Thus, and with respect to radio, coexistent different radio transmissions are permissible by means of assignment of different frequencies or frequency channels to different users, particularly those within the same geographic area. Essentially foreign to this concept is that of tolerating transmissions which are not frequency limited. While it would seem that the very notion of not limiting frequency response would create havoc with existing frequency denominated services, it has been previously suggested that such is not necessarily true and that, at least theoretically, it is possible to have overlapping use of the radio spectrum. One suggested mode is that provided wherein very short, on the order of one nanosecond or less, radio pulses are applied to a broadband antenna which ideally would respond by transmitting short burst signals, typically comprising three to four polarity lobes, which comprise, energywise, signal energy over essentially the upper entire band (above 100 megacycles) of the most frequently used radio frequency spectrum, that is, up to the midgigahertz region. A basic discussion of impulse effected radio transmission is contained in an article entitled "Time Domain Electromagnetics and Its Application," Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 66, No. 3, March 1978. This article particularly suggests the employment of such technology for baseband radar, and ranges from 5 to 5,000 feet are suggested. As noted, this article appeared in 1978, and now ten years later, it is submitted that little has been accomplished by way of achieving commercial application of this technology.
From both a theoretical and an experimental examination of the art, it has become clear to the applicant that the lack of success have largely been due to several factors. One is that the extremely wide band of frequencies to be transmitted poses very substantial requirements on an antenna. Antennas are generally designed for limited frequency bandwidths, and traditionally when one made any substantial change in frequency, it became necessary to choose a different antenna or an antenna of different dimensions. This is not to say that broadband antennas do not, in general, exist, but in general, applicant is unaware of any prior practical structures which, when excited by very short impulses, respond by the transmission of burst signals as described above, the ideal for this field of transmission. This view is based upon having tested many antennas and from discussions with contemporaries who are basically still struggling with the problem.
Two antenna types have received attention as being reasonably good broadband radiators, or receivers—the bicone antenna and various forms of horn antennas, particularly wherein the antenna becomes an extension of a feed transmission line. The applicant has tested published versions of both and has found that they simply fail to meet the obvious goal of transmitting sufficiently short bursts. Recently, applicant has learned of an improved horn-type antenna with improved response. However, it is understood to be three-dimensionally large and thus appears impractical for most common uses.
A second problem which has plagued advocates of the employment of impulse or time domain technology for radio is that of effectively receiving and detecting the presence of the signal bursts, particularly in the presence of high levels of existing ambient radiation, present nearly everywhere. If one considers the problem simply in terms of competition with the ambient signals, it might appear insurmountable, and perhaps this is an explanation for the lack of progress in receiver technology in this field. The state of the art prior to applicant's entrance generally involved the employment of brute force detection, that of threshold or time threshold gate detection. Threshold detection simply enables passage of signals higher than a selected threshold level. The problem with this approach is obvious in that if one transmits impulse generated signals which are of sufficient amplitude to rise above ambient signal levels, the existing radio services producing the latter may be unacceptably interferred with. For some reason, perhaps because of bias produced by the wide spectrum of signal involved, e.g., from 50 MHz on the order of 5 GHz, the possibility of coherent detection has been thought impossible.
With respect to transmissions via light and sonic energy, conventional techniques similarly call for relatively narrow frequency band transmissions which require quite high spectral density of frequency energy, and this in turn has been, in certain applications, a disadvantage that can be detected by unintended receivers.
Accordingly, it is the object of this invention to provide an impulse or time domain (or baseband) transmission system which attacks all of the above problems and to provide a complete impulse time domain transmission system which, in the applicant's view, eliminates the known practical barriers to its employment, and, importantly, its employment for electromagnetic and sonic modes of radio transmission, including communications, telemetry, navigation, radar, and sonar.
With respect to radio signal transmissions, and as one aspect of applicant's invention, a transmitting antenna is basically formed quite opposite to the bicone antenna and wherein element configuration is reversed, the two elements of the antenna each being triangular in at least one X-Y dimension, and the bases of these elements being positioned closely adjacent.
As a second aspect of the invention, a radio transmitter is a pulse creating switching which is closely and directly connected to antenna element, thus eliminating transmission line effects which tend to undesirably lengthen the transmitted signal.
Third, by the combination of the applicant's antenna and transmitter configurations, bursts, near monocyclic pulses, having, for example, three to five polarity reversals, are transmitted and received.
As a further consideration, practical power restraints in the past have been generally limited to the application of a few hundred volts of applied signal energy to the transmitting antenna. This has been overcome by a transmitter switch which is formed by a normally insulating crystalline structure, such as diamond material sandwiched between two metallic electrodes, which are then closely coupled to the elements of the antenna. This material is switched to a conductive state by exciting it with an appropriate wavelength beam of light, ultraviolet in the case of diamond. In this manner, no metallic triggering communications line extends to the antenna which might otherwise pick up radiation and re-radiate it, adversely effecting signal coupling to the antenna and interfering with the signal radiated from it, both of which tend to prolong the length of a signal burst, a clearly adverse effect.
With respect to a radio receiver, as one aspect or feature of the invention, a like receiving antenna is employed to that used for transmission as described above. Second, a coordinately timed signal to that of the transmitted signal is either detected from the received signal, as in communications, dealt with in said U.S. Pat. No. 4,979,186, or telemetry, or received directly from the transmitter as, for example, in the case of radar. Then, the coordinately timed signal, typically a simple half cycle of energy, is mixed or multiplied with the received signal to determine modulation or position of a target at a selected range, as the case may be.
As still a further feature of this invention, transmitted burst signals are varied in time pattern (in addition to a modulation pattern for communications or telemetry). This greatly increases the security of the system and differentiates signals from nearly, if not all, ambient signals, that is, ambient signals which are not synchronous with transmitted burst signals, an effect readily achievable. This also enables the employment of faster repetition rates with radar which would, absent such varying or dithering, create range ambiguities as between returns from successive transmission and therefore ranges. Burst signals are signals generated when a stepped voltage change is applied to a broadband antenna, such as a reverse bicone, but flat, antenna.
It is significant to note that here that bursts signals may be generated, for example, by the application of a stepped voltage to a broadband radiator.
As still a further feature of this invention, the repetition rate of burst signals would be quite large, say, for example, up to 100 MHz, or higher, this enabling a very wide frequency dispersion, and thus for a given overall power level, the energy at any one frequency would be extremely small, thus effectively eliminating the problem of interference with existing radio frequency based services.
As still a further feature of this invention, moving targets are detected in terms of their velocity by means of the employment of a bandpass filter following mixing and double integration of signals. As a still further feature of the invention when employed in this latter mode, two channels of reception are ideally employed wherein the incoming signal is multiplied by a selected range, or timed, locally generated signal in one channel, and mixing the same incoming signal by a slightly delayed, locally generated signal in another channel, delay being on the order of 0.5 nanosecond. This accomplishes target differentiation without employing a separate series of transmissions.
As still another feature of this invention, multiple radiators or receptors would be employed in an array wherein their combined effect would be in terms of like or varied in time of sensed (or transmitted) output and to thereby accent either a path normal to the face of the antenna or to effect a steered path offset to a normal path accomplished by selected signal delay paths.
As still another feature of this invention, radio antenna elements would be positioned in front of a reflector wherein the distance between the elements and reflector is in terms of the time of transmission from an element or elements to reflector and back to element(s), typically about three inches, this being with a tip-to-tip dimension of elements of approximately nine inches.
As still another feature of the invention, wideband light, time domain, transmissions are enabled and particularly by the employment of a new and novel light frequency modulator.
Finally, and of very substantial significance, is that the light modulator referred to the preceding paragraph provides what is believed to be a breakthrough in conveniently enabling frequency modulation of light signals passing, for example, through a fiber optic having a variable refractive index with bias voltage. Additionally, it may be employed as a selectable delay device.
Referring to the drawings,
The transmitter is basically controlled by control 210. It includes a transmit sequence control portion 212 which determines the timing of transmitted signal bursts, at, for example, 10,000 bursts per second, in which case transmit sequence control 212 generates an output at 10,000 Hz on lead 214. Oscillator 216 is operated at a higher rate, for example, 20 MHz.
The signal output of transmit sequence control 212 is employed to select particular pulse outputs of oscillator 216 to be the actual pulse which is used as a master pulse for controlling both the output of transmitter 218 and the timing of receiver functions, as will be further described. In order to unambiguously and repetitively select an operative pulse with low timing uncertainty from oscillator 216, the selection is one and some fraction of an oscillator pulse interval after an initial signal from control 212. The selection is made via a control sequence employing D-type flip-flops 218, 220, and 222. Thus, the transmit sequence control pulse on lead 214 is applied to the clock input of flip-flop 218. This causes the Q output of flip-flop 218 to transition to a high state, and this is applied to a D input of flip-flop 220. Subsequently, the output of oscillator 216 imposes a rising edge on the clock input of flip-flop 220. At that time, the high level of the D input of this flip-flop is transferred to the Q output. Similarly, the Q output of flip-flop 220 is provided to the D input of flip-flop 222, and the next rising edge of the pulse from oscillator 216 will cause the not Q output of flip-flop 222 to go low and thus initiate the beginning of the transmit-receive cycle.
For the transmit mode, the not Q output of flip-flop 222 is fed as an input to analog programmable delay 213 and to counter 215. Counter 215, for example, would respond to the not Q outputs of flip-flop 222 and count up to a selected number, for example, 256, and recycle to count again. Its binary output would be fed as an address to memory unit 217, ROM or RAM, which would have stored, either in numerical address order, or randomly selected order, a number. As a result, upon being addressed, a discrete output number would be fed to D/A converter unit 221. D/A converter unit 221 would then provide an analog signal output proportional to the input number. This output is employed to sequentially operate programmable delay unit 213 for delays of pulses from flip-flop 222 by an amount proportional to the signal from D/A converter 221. The range of delays or modulation would typically be up to the nominal timing between pulses, in this case, up to 100 nanoseconds, and practically up to 99 nanoseconds. The delayed output of programmable delay unit 213 is then fed to fixed delay unit 224 which provides a fixed delay of 200 nanoseconds to each pulse that it receives. The thus delayed pulses are then fed to trigger generator 223. Trigger generator 223, e.g., an avalanche mode operated transistor, would provide a sharply rising electrical output at the 10,000 Hz rate or a like response of light output, e.g., by laser, depending upon the transmitter to be driven. In accordance with one feature of this invention, trigger generator 223 would be an ultraviolet laser, In any event, a pulse of trigger generator 223 is fed to and rapidly turns on a switch 225 which, for example, may again be an electrically operated or light operated switch, such as a diamond switch in response to the ultraviolet laser triggering device via fiber optic 227. Importantly, it must be capable of switching in a period of a nanosecond or less.
Conformal reverse bicone, but flat, antenna 200 is turned on or turned off, or successively both, by switch assembly 215 which applies stepped voltage changes to the antenna. It responds by transmitting essentially short burst or monocycle signals 229 each time that it is triggered. These burst signals are then transmitted into space via a directional version of antenna 200 as illustrated in
Signal returns from a target would be received by receiver 226, typically located near or together with transmitter 219, via receiving antenna 202, again, a conformal reverse bicone antenna. The received signals are amplified in amplifier 228 and fed to mixer 230, together with a signal from template generator 232, driven by delay line 236, which is timed to produce signals, typically half cycles in configuration, and corresponding in time to the anticipated time of arrival of a signal from a target at a selected range.
Mixer 230 functions to multiply the two input signals, and where there are coincidence signals, timewise and with like or unlike polarity coincident signals, there is a significant and integratable output. Since the goal here is to determine the presence or absence of a target based on a number of signal samplings as effected by integration, where a true target does not exist, the appearance of signals received by mixer 230 corresponding to the time of receipt of signals from template generator 232 will typically produce signals which vary not only in amplitude but also in polarity. It is to be borne in mind that the present system determines intelligence, not instantaneously, but after a period of time, responsive to a preponderance of coherent signals over time time, a facet of time domain transmissions. Next, it is significant that the template generator produce a template signal burst which is no longer than the effecting signal to be received and bear a consistent like or opposite polarity relationship in time with it. As suggested above, received signals which do not bear this relation to the template signal will be substantially attenuated. As one signal, the template signal is simply a one polarity burst signal. Assuming that it maintains the time relationship described, effective detection can be effected.
For purposes of illustration, we are concerned with looking at a single time slot for anticipated signal returns following signal bursts from transmitting antenna 225. Accordingly, template generator 232 is driven as a function of the timing of the transmitter. To accomplish this, coarse delay counter 235 and fine delay programmable delay line 236 are employed. Down counter 235 counts down the number of pulse outputs from oscillator 216 which occur subsequent to a control input on lead 238, the output of programmable delay unit 213. A discrete number of pulses thereafter received from oscillator 216 is programmable in down counter 235 by an output X from load counter 241 on lead 240 of control 210, a conventional device wherein a binary count is generated in control 210 which is loaded into down counter 235. As an example, we will assume that it is desired to look at a return which occurs 175 nanoseconds after the transmission of a signal from antenna 200. To accomplish this, we load into down counter 235 the number "7," which means it will count seven of the pulse outputs of oscillator 216, each being spaced at 50 nanoseconds. So there is achieved a 350-nanosecond delay in down counter 235, but subtracting 200 nanoseconds as injected by delay unit 224, we will have really an output of down counter 235 occurring 150 nanoseconds after the transmission of a burst by transmitting antenna 200. In order to obtain the precise timing of 175 nanoseconds, an additional delay is effected by programmable delay line 236, which is triggered by the output of down counter 235 when its seven count is concluded. It is programmed in a conventional manner by load delay 242 of control 210 on lead Y and, thus in the example described, would have programmed programmable delay line 236 to delay an input pulse provided to it by 25 nanoseconds. In this manner, programmable delay line 236 provides a pulse output to template generator 232, 175 seconds after it is transmitted by bicone transmitting antenna 200. Template generator 232 is thus timed to provide, for example, a positive half cycle or square wave pulse to mixer 230 or a discrete sequence or pattern of positive and negative excursions.
The output of mixer 230 is fed to analog integrator 250. Assuming that there is a discrete net polarity likeness or unlikeness between the template signal and received signal during the timed presence of the template signal, analog integrator 250, which effectively integrates over the period of template signal, will provide a discrete voltage output. If the signal received is not biased with a target signal imposed on it, it will generally comprise as much positive content as negative content on a time basis; and thus when multiplied with the template signal, the product will follow this characteristic, and likewise, at the output of integrator 250, there will be as many discrete products which are positive as negative. On the other hand, with target signal content, there will be a bias in one direction or the other, that is, there will be more signal outputs of analog integrator 250 that are of one polarity than another. The signal output of analog integrator 250 is amplified in amplifier 252 and then, synchronously with the multiplication process, discrete signals emanating from analog integrator 250 are discretely sampled and held by sample and hold 254. These samples are then fed to A/D converter 256 which digitizes each sample, effecting this after a fixed delay of 40 microseconds provided by delay unit 258, which takes into account the processing time required by sample and hold unit 254. The now discrete, digitally calibrated positive and negative signal values are fed from A/D converter 256 to digital integrator 262 which then digitally sums them to determine whether or not there is a significant net voltage of one polarity or another, indicating, if such is the case, that a target is present at a selected range. Typically, a number of transmissions would be effected in sequence, for example, 10, 100, or even 1,000 transmissions, wherein the same signal transit time of reception would be observed, and any signals occurring during like transmissions would then be integrated in digital integrator 262, and in this way enable recovery of signals from ambient, non-synchronized signals which, because of random polarities, do not effectively integrate.
The output of digital integrator 262 would be displayed on display 264, synchronized in time by an appropriate signal from delay line 236 (and delay 256) which would thus enable the time or distance position of a signal return to be displayed in terms of distance from the radar unit.

By this arrangement, each of the 1 MHz pulses from divide-by-16 divider 402 is delayed a discrete amount. The pulse is then fed to fixed delay unit 408 which, for example, delays each pulse by 60 nanoseconds in order to enable sufficient processing time of signal returns by receiver 410. The output of fixed delay unit 408 is fed to trigger generator 412, for example, an avalanche mode operated transistor, which provides a fast rise time pulse. Its output is applied to switch 414, typically an avalanche mode operated transistor as illustrated in
Considering now receiver 410, antenna 412, identical with antenna 200, receives signal returns and supplies them to mixer 414. Mixer 414 multiplies the received signals from antenna 412 with locally generated ones from template generator 416. Template generator 416 is triggered via a delay chain circuitry of analog delay unit 406 and adjustable delay unit 418, which is set to achieve a generation of a template signal at a time corresponding to the sum of delays achieved by fixed delay 408 and elapsed time to and from a target at a selected distance. The output of mixer 414 is fed to short-term analog integrator 420 which discretely integrates for the period of each template signal. Its output is then fed to long-term integrator 422 which, for example, may be an active low-pass filter and integrates over on the order of 50 milliseconds, or, in terms of signal transmissions, up to, for example, approximately 50,000 such transmissions. The output of integrator 422 is amplified in amplifier 424 and passed through adjustable high-pass filter 426 to alarm 430. By this arrangement, only A.C. signals corresponding to moving targets are passed through the filters and with high-pass filter 426 establishing the lower velocity limit for a target and low-pass filter 428 determining the higher velocity of a target. For example, high-pass filter 426 might be set to pass targets moving at a greater velocity than 0.1 feet per second and integrator-low-pass filter 422 adapted to pass signals representing targets moving less than 50 miles per hour. Assuming that the return signals pass both such filters, alarm 430, which may be in any form of sensual indicator, aural or visual, would be operated.
By this technique, there is achieved real time differentiation between broad boundary objects, such as trees, and sharp boundary objects, such as a person. Thus, assuming that in one instant the composite return provides a discrete signal and later, for example, half a nanosecond later, there was no change in the scene, then there would be a constant difference in the outputs of mixers 450 and 452. However, in the event that a change occurred, as by movement of a person, there would be changes in difference between the signals occurring at the two different times, and thus there would be a difference in the output of differential amplifier 464. This output would then be fed to high-pass filter 426 (
In terms of a system as illustrated in
While the operation thus described involves a single perimeter, by a simple manual or automatic adjustment, observations at different ranges can be accomplished. Ranges can be in terms of a circular perimeter, or, as by the employment of a directional antenna (antenna 200 with a reflector), effect observations at a discrete arc.
An echo or reflection from a target of the signal transmitted by sonic transducer 502 would be received by a similarly configured sonic transducer 520, and its output would then be coupled via plates 512 and 514 to amplifier 228 and thence onto mixer 230 as illustrated in
It is believed of perhaps greater significance that light modulator 524, a frequency modulator, described above has many other applications, and particularly as an intelligence modulator of a laser beam. In such case, the laser input would typically be supplied in a continuous or spaced input, and the modulating waveform would be whatever was desired to mix with or impress on the laser beam.

Couple kept two girls, 5 and 10, locked in a filthy trailer littered with used condoms for three years while they played World of Warcraft
An unemployed couple from California have been sentenced to jail for keeping two young female relatives locked inside a filthy trailer home for three years as they were busy playing video games.Lester Huffmire, 42, was sentenced Tuesday to five years in a state prison after pleading guilty to child abuse and false imprisonment.
His wife, Petra Huffmire, also age 42, was handed a jail term of three years and four months on similar charges.
Two of a kind: Lester and Petra Huffmire, both 42, have been sentenced to jail for keeping two female relatives, ages 5 and 10, living in a filthy mobile home filled with mold, cobwebs and trash
According to a statement released by the Orange County District Attorneys Office, the family including a 5-year-old and a 10-year-old lived in horrendous conditions.
The Huffmires' 'unsanitary' mobile home in Anaheim featured kitchen appliances covered in mold and cobwebs; broken toilets; mounds of refuse; feces, and a pile of used condoms under a stuffed teddy bear.
Investigators said Lester and Petra Huffmire did not have jobs and spent their days playing the online video game World of Warcraft.
The husband and wife kept the two girls living with them locked inside the trailer at all times, preventing them from attending school.
According to prosecutors, the girls called the grimy camper home from May 2010 until May 2013.
Anaheim police responded to the trailer last spring acting on a tip from a concerned neighbor.
An officer who entered the uninhabitable residence found the girls underfed, with dirty matted hair, feet caked with grime and their teeth rotted beyond repair.

Why oh why did they get the teddy bear involved?
On a serious note: These buttholes should be locked up for longer that what they were sentenced to. And that woman should serve EQUAL time as the man is.

Those poor girls. I hope they end up being ok but that must have been so traumatizing for them.
Focus. Control. Conviction. Resolve. A true ace lacks none of these attributes. Nothing can deter you from the task at hand except your own fears. This is your sky.

5 years is a joke for what they put those kids through
08-08-2014 #6
I wonder what their level was. That said, it is pretty messed up, specially when stuff like this are easily avoidable
08-09-2014 #7
I take it these are their own children.
Why do that to your own kids, these people (I use that word loosely because any decent person would not do this) must mentally ill, the woman especially looks out of it.
Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

clearly this is rockstar's fault!
/sarcasmDon't waste your words I don't need anything from you.
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.
I am the resurrection and I am the light.
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like.

Sunset in Florence by INVIV0Watch
That's wonderful!
wonderful colors ~
Woooow sooo wonderful .
What a skylight.... Gorgeous colors!
Un bellissimo tramonto in una bellissima città.
Very beautiful
I love this picture, the colour is amazing!
I think somebody mentioned AC2 below; is it bad that my first thought upon seeing this building was "I've climbed that"?
Happens literally whenever you post a pic of Italy with recognizably Italian architecture. XD Once I saw a pic on Facebook for a Florence trip giveaway, and the pic was of some enormous, really nice building with a domed roof, like the one in this pic but bigger. And I swear at least a fifth of the comments were about AC. And mine was one of them. XD
But you know what this means? Means Ubisoft did a good job recreating Italy. XD Kudoooos.
But you know what this means? Means Ubisoft did a good job recreating Italy. XD Kudoooos.
It means that gaming is BIG lol. I was JUST about to mention AC2 when I saw McGillustrator's comment and your response comment. *I CLIMBED THAT*
Ah, la bella città di Firenze.
What a nice view, loved all the colors and shades, as well as the buildings! Keep it up!
It is a good life we lead.
The best. May it never change.
And may it never change us.
This is so beautiful! The architecture is fantastic, and the colours of the sky is so pretty!
From Middle America, it's so nice to see beautiful architecture in the foreground of such a romantic sunset.
So~~~~~~~~~beautiful. I think now I can recognize your unique colors
OMG this is the kind of photo that makes you think "I should live there".
The sky is incredible, great shot! I've never been to Italy let alone florence but I'd love to one day

Unanswered: Help: I Need One Value To Represent The Two Values Below It In A List Box
I am very new to Access but have learned a lot in a month. I do not understand VBA or SQL for the most part so I may need some explanations to be dumbed down.
I have a query with one column that has two valueseither 1 or 2 or a yes/no check box. I am using both to see if I can get either one to work. A little background - 1 (or checked) would mean this person is a contractor and 2 (or unchecked) would mean a government employee.
That one column has a criteria linked to a list box in a form using the "Build..." tool. It looks like this in the criteria box:
That query is linked to a report so when I select either Yes/No or 1/2 in the list box and click the corresponding command button that report when opened will only show the contractors or the government workers. I want a third option in the list box though. Both. How can I make it so if I select that third option in the list box it will include both contractors and government employees?
I tried having the table column with the corresponding values be formatted to text with the values "1", "2", and "1 or 2." I figured this would work because if I replace "[Forms]![NavigationPane]![ContractorSelection]" in the criteria field with "1 or 2" it works. But if I use the build tool to fetch it from another table, it doesnt. It works for just contractors or government workers, but not both.
I do not want to have to create one report for both categories and another report for either/or. I'm fine with making another query but since a report can only be connected to one query (I think) I don't see how that can work.
I'm not sure if it helps, but here is the SQL for the query:
SELECT Trips.TripID, Travelers.Traveler, Divisions.Division, Trips.DepartureDate, Trips.ReturnDate, Trips.MonthlyNumber, Trips.Destination, Trips.Cost, Trips.[TripCancelled?], Trips.Purpose, Trips.Justification, Travelers.[GovernmentContractor?], Travelers.[GovContractor?]
FROM Travelers INNER JOIN (Divisions INNER JOIN Trips ON Divisions.[DivisionID] = Trips.[DivisionID]) ON Travelers.[TravelerID] = Trips.[TravelerID]
WHERE (((Trips.MonthlyNumber)=[Forms]![NavigationPane]![MonthlySelection]) AND ((Travelers.[GovContractor?])=[Forms]![NavigationPane]![ContractorSelection]))
ORDER BY Trips.DepartureDate;
A huge thank you to anyone taking the time to help!

Here's a solution.
1. On the form, replace the CheckBox control [ContractorSelection] with an Option Group control with the same name.
2. In this Option Group, place 3 Option Button controls, like this:
a) Name: Option_Contractor, Option Value: 2
b) Name: Option_governmentemployee, Option Value: 1
c) Name: Option_Both, Option Value: 3
3. Change the WHERE clause of the query to:
WHERE (Trips.MonthlyNumber=[Forms]![NavigationPane]![MonthlySelection]) AND (Travelers.GovContractor <> IIf([Forms]![NavigationPane]![ContractorSelection]=3,0,[Forms]![NavigationPane]![ContractorSelection]))Have a nice day!

use the boolean (yes/no) datatype to store the values*
use a checkbox to display the values
rolling your own version of boolean values is daft, its extra work, its a maintenance problem over time, it makes your code less easy to read and understand (both by you at a later date or if someone else has to pick up your code).
to select for use in a query there;s several ways
either omit the term in the query if both are required
put the bit you need for the where clause as the first (hidden) element of the list box
your rowsource for the list/.combo box is something like
AND Travelers.GovContractor = true; drone
AND Travelers.GovContractor = false; blood sucking leach
; all
then pull the value of the list/combo box into the query as required. the third term is blank as nothing is needed
your where clause becomes
strWhereClause = "WHERE (Trips.MonthlyNumber=[Forms]![NavigationPane]! [MonthlySelection]) " & mycombobox.text
*unless you have or think you may have more than 2 values excluding NULL. Boolean datatype columns can have three values, true (yes), false (no) or NULL assuming you allow NULLS. if you think you may need more than 2 values then use another table to define categories of person and pull the description from thereI'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

Violent protests and the double killing of two police officers threaten to reignite ethnic tensions in Turkey following the suicide bombing of a Kurdish town blamed on ISIL — a group whose growth across the Syrian border Ankara has tolerated, protesters say.
At least 11 people were detained overnight as anti-government protests raged for a second day, turning violent in Istanbul and other cities.
Meanwhile two police officers were found dead, shot in the head, in a house in the southeastern city of Sanliurfa on Wednesday, security sources said. The deaths were claimed by the Kurdistans Workers' Party (PKK) in revenge for the border attack
Protests erupted in a dozen or so neighborhoods in Istanbul late on Tuesday, as well as cities in the predominantly Kurdish southeast. They followed Monday's bombing in the predominantly-Kurdish town of Suruc near the Syrian border, which killed 32 people.
Turkey's NATO allies have expressed concern about control of the border which in parts runs directly parallel with territories controlled by Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Some 1.8 million Syrian refugees live on the Turkish side and smuggling is rife.
Many of Turkey's Kurds and opposition supporters accuse President Tayyip Erdogan and the ruling AK Party of covertly backing ISIL against Kurdish fighters in Syria, something the government has repeatedly denied.
"Murderer Islamic State, collaborator Erdogan and AKP" some of the protesters chanted as they marched down a major shopping avenue in Istanbul's Kadikoy neighborhood, before police fired tear gas and water cannon when they refused to disperse.
There were also protests overnight in the capital Ankara, where demonstrators carried pictures of those killed in the Suruc attack as well as banners of the youth federation of which many of the victims were members.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Tuesday rejected accusations that Turkey had tacitly supported ISIL and had unwittingly opened the door to the bombing. He has said, however, that initial evidence suggests ISIL was responsible for the attack.
The blast tore through a group of university-aged students, led by the Federation of Socialist Youth Associations, as they gathered in Suruc ahead of a planned trip to help rebuild the nearby Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane.
They had hoped to bring toys to children and help rebuild playgrounds and a library destroyed during a months-long siege by ISIL.
Investigators said TNT was used as the explosive and have not yet been able to determine the identity of the bomber due to the condition of his or her remains, CNN Turk said.
The opposition Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), whose base support is Kurdish, has called for supporters to converge in Istanbul for a mass rally on Saturday.
Kobane was attacked again by ISIL in June and has been a rallying point for Turkey's Kurdish minority, enraged by what they see as the Turkey's refusal to intervene in a conflict playing out right on its border.

Memory Lane - Numbers Game
The move to IPv6 is necessary and unavoidable, but numbers remain plentiful.
On Nov. 10, 1951, when the mayor of Englewood, N.J., made a phone call to his counterpart in Alameda, Calif., the moment marked a turning point in telecommunications. It was the first time a long-distance call had been made in the U.S. by direct dialing, with no operator mediation.
The number dialed – and it was literally dialed, as Englewood's mayor M. Leslie Downing used a rotary phone – was the first 10-digit phone number to be used since the telephone company AT&T had invented a new coding system for calls.
In creating a direct-dial system, AT&T engineers were determined to replace manually tended circuit boards with a more automated system for connecting calls. In doing so, they faced a big challenge of mathematics. Nobody really knew how many unique numbers the U.S. might come to need, but with household and business phone use growing, AT&T's team was conscious of the need to future-proof their scheme for allocating numbers.
A key involved slicing the nation into distinct calling areas and assigning a unique code to each. Using only three digits to identify each calling area – part of the objective was to keep direct-dial numbers relatively brief – AT&T determined it would be possible to create an orderly collection of area codes to fulfill the country's anticipated needs, and still have ample room to add more as additional calling areas were identified and as assigned codes became congested with numbers.
The numbering logic was simple and practical. Each area code would start with a digit from 2 to 9, followed by the number 1 or 0. That way, AT&T could distinguish phone calls directed to the new area codes from an earlier system that aligned calls with local exchanges known by names such as "Gramercy," where the "G" and "R" corresponded to the numbers 4 and 7. Because telephone keypads had no letters associated with 1 or 0, AT&T's network could recognize that phone numbers with a 1 or 0 as the second digit were destined for one of the new area codes.
AT&T also introduced some well-reasoned practicality into its numbering system. Knowing it was quicker to dial a 1 or 2 on a rotary phone than, say, a 7 or 9, AT&T assigned the lowest-digit combinations to areas of high telephone concentration. New York City ended up with the venerable 212 area code, while Los Angeles got 213. (For the record, the 1951 call that inaugurated direct long-distance dialing involved area codes 201 for Englewood and 415 for Alameda and the San Francisco Bay area.)
There were 90 area codes in use by the end of 1951. By 2010, the number was approaching 300 as settlement patterns created new population areas and rising phone penetration began to exhaust the available supply of numbers within some existing area codes. Today, Michigan's 947 area code is the most-used in the U.S., with 92 percent of available numbers taken.
The pressure for more phone numbers has soared since the popularization of mobile phones, which contend for the same pool of numbers as residential landlines and fax and business lines. Even so, the system of 10-digit numbering devised by AT&T has held up remarkably well. Of 1.4 billion phone numbers available to carriers, 640 million remain available, according to a January report by the FCC. The company that administers the North American Numbering Plan now estimates the available pool will last at least until 2031.
Ironically, the same can't be said for a newer but related system for associating unique numeric codes with telecommunications technologies.
Sometime this year, according to forecasts, the current Internet addressing system will have depleted nearly all of the available addresses used to route data packets to and from their destinations.
The exhaustion of some 4 billion addresses compliant with Internet Protocol version 4 will require a move to IPv6, which relies on 128-bit addressing to create a nearly inexhaustible pool of address combinations. But the migration will be difficult, as millions of devices and gateways built for the older IPv4 won't recognize IPv6 addresses and data flows. That disconnect will mean costly upgrades for network operators and consumers alike as an entire population of Internet users migrates to a new protocol over time.
The move to IPv6 is necessary and unavoidable. But its very necessity serves as an ironic counterpoint to the fact that 60 years after the creation of the telephone numbering system, numbers remain plentiful. And many rotary phones still work.

JERSEYVILLE — Playing undermanned and undersized seemingly every time they take the court, the Southwestern Piasa Birds realized on Wednesday, they had to play big.
Going against the Calhoun Warriors, with a trio of 6-footers, the Piasa Birds had no choice but to get down in the trenches. And when the moments were tense down the stretch, the Piasa Birds remained cool under pressure.
Southwestern overcame a six-point deficit early, kept the game close and closed with a 10-4 run down the stretch, highlighted by senior Maddy Greeling's game-high 21 points in a 53-47 victory against the Warriors to win the championship of the Jersey Holiday Tournament at Havens Gymnasium.
Southwestern (15-3) and winners of 11 in a row, lived and died by the 3-point shot on offense and took advantage of the limited dribble-drives they had against the trio of Emma Baalman, Grace Baalman and Kassidy Klocke, and the Birds were able to limit Calhoun's ability to get second- and third-chance opportunities at the basket following misses.
"We kind of had a chip on our shoulders to want to come back and give to them what they've given to us," said Greeling, who had 13 points in the second half. "You've got to box out against them obviously. They have three six-foot girls, but I think we boxed out and rebounded a lot better. We doubled on Grace and we tried to stay on Klocke as much as we could to give their outside shooters the chances. I think that was the difference.
"If those guards made their shots, they deserved to win that game. So we just had to pick and choose and hoped they missed."
Southwestern coach Steve Wooley agreed.
"We cheated a lot," Wooley joked, "we doubled a lot on their bigs. Obviously you've got to pick your poison with them. We picked the right poison I guess. They have such balance with size; they're such a hard matchup. You've got to take chances on their perimeter shooting and so we did. It's not a secret, we don't match up physically."
The Warriors (13-2), who got 14 points from Grace Baalman and 11 from Klocke, hit four 3-pointers in the first quarter. In fact, they made 4 of 7 and led by six (16-10) by making big shots from the perimeter. But they would go 0-for-11 from 3-point range the rest of the way, and Southwestern was comfortable collapsing in the paint to make it tough on the post players of Calhoun to get to the rim.
"We knew from playing them earlier in the season that they were going to try and limit Grace's touches and those touches on the blocks," Calhoun coach Aaron Baalman said. "We needed some girls to step up and hit some outside shots and that just didn't happen tonight."
With the Warriors holding a 36-35 edge after three quarters, it became a game of chess. Southwestern was comfortable being patient on offense and not turning the game into a track meet.
And with the game tied at 43, Erin Laubscher's free throw with 1:44 remaining gave the Birds the lead for good, and Greeling's dribble drive to the bucket after being a pair of defenders and ensuing 3-point play put Southwestern up 47-43 with 1:09 remaining. It was the start to a 7-0 run that Southwestern would never relinquish.
"That was very exciting for me," Greeling said. "That was probably my adrenaline that got really high right there. We've been undersized for four years. We're pretty used to it. I think by this time, we just had to get stronger and get in there."
The Piasa Birds, which made 14 field goals on 35 attempts, knocked down nine treys, including three from junior Jenna Moore, who finished with 11 points.
"We shot the ball better than we did the first time we played them," Wooley said. "I was really, really happy with that. I had some kids hit some clutch free throws and things like that. A well-rounded game for all of us.
"We had some kids step up. Jenna Moore had a heck of a game. I'm starting to see some of that contribution from the bench, which last time we played them, we only had two kids really do our scoring with Jenna with one bucket and that was it. To get more of a balance was really more in our favor."
It's exactly what Aaron Baalman saw, who said his team wanted to limit Greeling's opportunities.
"They made the shots tonight," Aaron Baalman said. "They shot the ball exceptionally well from the 3-point line. I thought we did a great job on Maddy Greeling. I think she ended up with (21) points; the last two meetings, she had 29 and 31. I thought we played solid defense on Greeling, but the other girls stepped up and hit some big shots and we limited Kelsey Rhoades to three points. The ball bounced their way tonight."
CM 65, Collinsville 39 — The Eagles (9-6) finished the tournament with a 3-1 mark by drubbing the Kahoks (7-6) in the third place game. Kaylee Eaton scored all 18 points in the first half, tournament MVP Allie Troeckler had 16 and Katelyn Turbyfill knocked in 14 for the victors.
Jersey 53, Freeburg 47 — The Panthers (8-7) finished with a 2-2 record in the tournament by holding off the Midgets for fifth place. Jersey, which has matched its win total from last season, got a game-high 20 points from Lauren Davis. Mackenzie Thurston scored 18 and Caroline Crawford popped for 11 points.
Granite City 49, Carrollton 45 — The Hawks (6-8) lost all four games at the tournament, and Emily Struble's 21 points weren't enough to get past the Warriors in the seventh place game.
Southwestern 10 13 12 18 — 53
Calhoun 16 10 10 11 — 47
Southwestern (15-3) — Green 5, Greeling 21, Laubscher 8, Moore 11, Bailey 5, Rhoades 3. 2FG-5, 3FG-9, FT-16, PF-16.
Calhoun (13-2) — J. Holland 5, Lehr 3, Klocke 11, E. Baalman 8, G. Baalman 14, C. Holland 5, J. Zirkelbach 1. 2FG-13, 3FG-4, FT-9, PF-18.

Esperion says, was safe and well tolerated by animals and was able to significantly lower LDL. The company is currently conducting a Phase II study of 176 human patients that will be completed in the fourth quarter this year. Esperion is also partnering with the Cleveland Clinic on heart-related therapies.
Esperion has attracted $23 million in venture capital from investors like Domain Associates, Alta Partners, and Aisling Capital, mostly based on Newton's reputation.
Arboretum Ventures, based in Ann Arbor, MI, is also an investor, even though the company does not typically finance drug startups.
"It is an exception for us," says Arboretum managing director Tim Peterson. "We invested because of Roger's tremendous track record with Lipitor and the original Esperion, the great VC syndicate, and the promise of a lead compound to address cardiovascular disease."
Esperion also wants to see if the same drugs can treat metabolic disorders like diabetes. People don't die directly from diabetes but rather complications that result from diabetes, such as heart disease, Newton says.
In many ways, the new Esperion reflects how Newton's approach to medicine and healthcare in general has evolved over the years.
Newton says he has come to realize that the body is an intricate tapestry where functions like cell metabolism and lipid regulation are closely interconnected. Doctors have traditionally treated diseases as separate silos. Instead, doctors should adopt an integrated approach to medicine that can treat or prevent multiple disorders at the same time, Newton says.
"We have long been in a reductionist mindset, where we have specialties in tissue and systems," Newton says. "A functional, holistic approach is what we need to really to focus on in real detail and understand better. What's this individual's biochemistry profile telling us? How should we treat them? Is a statin the right drug for them?"
ETC-1002 could be a prevention therapy, not just a drug patients take after they develop cardiovascular disease or diabetes, Newton says. But in this holistic approach, lifestyle choices like diet and exercise also play a critical role, he says.
"We are now going to be really focused on not just the pharmacological part of it [but also diet]," he says. "I believe food is medicine. What we have done is polluted the human body with very unhealthy food we all have a tendency to eat, and not take care of ourselves."
"I'm trying to connect the dots here," he continued. "Pharma companies make money because they give people drugs to treat disease, not in all situations to promote overall health. What's happened in the latest healthcare bill is that people should be held responsible for their own health, that prevention and wellness are the hallmarks of human health. That's a whole different approach."

Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
If you own an iOS device of any kind (iPod/iPad/iPhone) you've probably got iTunes installed on on your home computer. iTunes is Apple's portal to managing content (music, videos, apps, books) on all their devices. Whether you're using iTunes on OS X or Windows, there are valuable tools at your disposal for managing the content you allow your children to download, view, and purchase.
In part one of this series on iTunes and iOS, I'll be covering allowances. Specifically, how you can give your child a monthly iTunes allowance and prevent them from draining your checking account with purchases. Future topics in this series will include iOS restrictions and iTunes parental controls.
1. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
2. You need an iTunes Store account (Apple ID) with a credit card associated with it. If you don't have one, create a new account.
3. You will need to create an Apple ID for your child. That means they need an email address. If your child isn't ready for email then create a GMail, Yahoo Mail, or Hotmail acount and forward it to your own email address.
Setup an iTunes Allowance Account
1. Open iTunes and got to the Store.
2. Click "Buy iTunes Gifts" from the Quick Links section on the right.
3. Click "Set up an allowance now" (you may need to scroll down).
4. Enter the requested information on the page.
5. Enter your password when/if requested.
Configure the iOS Device
1. Open the App Store on your iOS device.
2. Tap "Featured" at the bottom and scroll down.
3. Tap Sign In.
4. Enter the Apple ID with the monthly allowance.
Additional Considerations
1. When setting up an allowance, you are agreeing to give your child between $10-$50 per month to spend in iTunes. You may consider a one-time gift card as an alternative.
2. You should consider enabling content restrictions on the device and in iTunes (these topics will be covered in future podcasts).
3. No system is fool-proof so check what your kids are doing with their iOS device regularly.

text: Mark C. 1,877 Report post Posted June 7, 2013 Last weekend I finally gathered up a 45-box gallery order for my outlet in the tourist town of Mendocino on the ocean in northern California. It's about a three and a half hour drive one-way. I make a huge deposit of work there every late spring. This year I decided to add some fun to the trip and asked a friend to go abalone diving as well. I took a few kayaks and after dropping off the pots we hit the water for some free-diving for snails. The ocean was great with about 25-foot visibility and we quickly got our limit of three abs each. Besides being done for a year with pots for this gallery I got to be in the ocean and bring home dinner. Now all the work has been done and I just have to wait for the checks each month as it is a consignment outlet, which I have had for many years and requires much trust.

Cooking is therapy for Scarlett
Scarlett Johansson likes to wind down by cooking alone.
Despite being a bombshell on the big screen, the actress, who is about to appear as the Black Widow in Iron Man 2, loves being a kitchen goddess for husband Ryan Reynolds.
"He loves to eat, I like cooking alone - I find it very therapeutic," she told InStyle US.
"I put on some music, maybe have a glass of wine and make something like a turkey bolognese or a nice frittata."
Scarlett, who tied the knot in September 2008, is content with the stability of marriage.
"I mean, you're married and suddenly you have your own family. There's a nice comfort in that," she said.
"That part of your life is certain, in a way. You've got your home in that other person."
:: Iron Man 2 will be released on April 30.

Corporate coach Keith Ferrazzi pursuaded Tony to ask customers if they needed more rides. Now, Tony has so much business that he bought a Town Car, then another, and then hired a friend to help with the overflow.
Ferrazzi himself, the son of a steelworker and a cleaning woman, won amazing scholarships in part because his father asked the CEO of his company for a recommendation.
He learned early that the secret to success lies in the power of relationships.
This is how Ferrazzi advises people to make their dreams come true:
- Focus on what you want. If that seems too huge a question, chip away at it. After each day, rank what you've done and drill in on the things you like best.
Also, ask yourself these two questions:
- "What would I really regret if I didn't do it?"
- "What would I do if I couldn't fail?"
- "What would I really regret if I didn't do it?"
- Get out of your own way. Quit dithering and unload the main weaknesses holding you back. Push ahead on your strengths. If you don't have a good handle on your strengths and weaknesses, ask a trusted friend. Speaking of which …
- Help others and you'll be helped. No, it's not a quid pro quo; it's more random than that. If you look out for enough friends and loved ones, something will come through for you.
Also: Ask for advice and try not to flinch when you get it. If four out of five people are telling you the same thing, they might be right. Consider it a gift.
- Plan, and plan again. A blueprint and measuring tools will help keep you on track. Reassess your goals and adjust your plan every three to six months.
