cases of stolen kayaks and canoes off cars. My attitude is that life is short and in rural areas were we tend to paddle the crime rate is low so I don't sweat it. I wonder - would it be covered by your auto insurance? I once had a boat damaged while car topping and my carrier paid the cost of repair which was substantial so I am pretty sure theft off the top of my car would also be covered. But I have a very good local company. That could explain it.

Donate to NOLS
Contact Us
I am writing this letter on March 23, 2005—a significant day for NOLS. Forty years ago today, Paul Petzoldt started our wilderness school. The life of NOLS has been an adventure, made up of adventures. Our issues of the Leader this year will focus part of their content on this milestone, with a look at our past and what it means for us today.
Looking back over the past 40 years, I am struck by how much has not changed at NOLS. Our core curriculum is still centered on teaching wilderness skills, leadership and conservation. Our classrooms still inspire awe in our students and provide experiential lessons with real consequences that develop skilled wilderness visitors and great leaders. Our mission and values are nearly identical to those Paul Petzoldt described in 1965. And while we live in a changing world, our continued focus on our core purpose and curriculum has likely been our key to success.
While the school's core mission has not varied, the world in which we operate has changed significantly. A quick look at photos of our students in the '60s drives home that hairstyles and fashion have changed a great deal in the past four decades. For that matter, if we issued gear today that we issued then, our students would think we were kidding. But what I find most interesting are the changes in our society that have only made a NOLS education more relevant to our students and the world.
The increasing threats to our wild lands create a more compelling need for leaders with a wilderness ethic. A more complex world also requires leaders with good expedition behavior, judgment, communication skills, self-awareness, and the ability to tolerate adversity. As you know, a NOLS education provides an excellent classroom to develop all of these leadership pillars.
Our increasingly urban world has raised the value of wilderness recreation skills, making them an important antidote to our technology-filled and physically-deprived lives. NOLS also provides great opportunities for young people to grow and develop, away from a world that seems to focus too much on schedules and security. In many ways, our changing world has reinforced a need for what Paul Petzoldt set out to accomplish when he founded NOLS.
Of course, there have been areas where NOLS has changed along with the changing world. While our 1965 home in Lander, Wyoming and the Wind River Range is still our home today, we live in a far more global world 40 years later. In response, NOLS has followed that trend and now offers courses on every continent but Antarctica. The increased level of professionalism in outdoor education is what prompted NOLS to acquire the Wilderness Medicine Institute (WMI) and to more recently start NOLS Professional Training. It is noteworthy that WMI is also celebrating an anniversary—their 15th year offering wilderness medicine certification programs.
In this issue of the Leader, our Trailblazer section features a few NOLS staff who were instrumental outdoor pioneers during our history. We had infinite candidates for this list, from Paul Petzoldt and Tap Tapley who don't require mention, to Lucy Smith and Kevin Mahoney. Our list is a miniscule subset of the many staff and graduates who have been leaders in outdoor pursuits and wilderness education. As another example, just this last weekend, NOLS graduate Peter Athans received the Tenzing Norgay Award at the annual Explorers Club dinner in New York. Whether they are reaching the summit of Everest, crossing the oceans, exploring outer space, or on The Long Walk, our graduates are the 21st Century's leading explorers. They are inspiring the minds of the world with the spirit and values of exploration and wilderness.
In the 1960s when Paul talked about creating outdoor leaders, it is unclear if he envisioned that our graduates' contributions would extend far beyond the wilderness. Today our graduates are leaders in business, education, government, land management, the arts and many other endeavors. They are active, quality, experienced and ethical leaders with great expedition behavior and a wilderness ethic. Our alumni are leaders of whom I am proud, and leaders of whom our world can be proud. What an outcome for a small non-profit school founded 40 years ago in the foothills of the Wind River Range.

Lisa Koffler Providence, Rhode Island 2/14/2014 8:19:50 AM I had a Westie 40 years ago, and she was more of a doer than a talker, but everyone loved her!
Lynda Cary, NC 12/7/2010 2:13:29 AM You have owed me a copy of the Westie magazine (Popular Dog Series) plus expedited (FedEx 2nd day) shipping -- both of which I paid for -- since early March 2010. My email to you is now being ignored; the last reply I received was that some supervisor would be consulted. Is your business in financial trouble? That's the only reason I can think of for such behavior!
Peter Kitchener;Ont.;Canada, ON 7/18/2010 5:21:58 PM Enjoy reading your article about Westies and got learn more about there loving and spunky personnel. That I didn't
Beth Troy, MI 4/10/2010 12:07:53 PM Regarding the question about buying one in Michigan, please go to www.westieclubmi.com. This is the Michigan Westie Club. You will find breeders and rescue here.
Teresa Canada, BC 1/29/2010 8:28:14 PM We have two male westies, brothers from same litter, Rupert & Bentley. They are adorable at 18 months old. They follow our westie (Heidie) that died at 11 years of age from cancer. We're so happy that we got two litter mates but this is only for the brave, as two westie pups are 4 times the work as one.
Debbie Ephrata, PA 10/30/2009 10:16:31 PM I am a very priviledged owner of an adorable Westie Girl named Wendy! She truly is all of the things and has the traits mentioned in this article.I feel better now that I know she is "normal" LOL..
Suzi Chipps North Platte, NE 5/30/2009 2:11:07 AM I guess I have a few questions? Will a Westie interact very well with an adult cat/female? Also, does a Westie shed much if at all. We have a few family members allergic to cats so trying to be careful with a puppy.
Michele Sherwood, AR 9/9/2008 10:09:37 PM I had wanted a Westie for 10 yrs. but kept rescuing strays. Two yrs ago my wonderful "Rewind" died suddenly and my son wanted to take Abbey the Border Collie. So I had my chance and found a wonderful breeder in Evening Shade, Arkansas - no joke. I picked out a male and after having him for a month -he seemed lonely so I called back and got a female also- his half sister. The male "Murphy" is by far the more docile and loving and easy to train. His sister, Millie is much more hyper. I've had 2nd thoughts that I shouldve gotten another male - maybe next time.
Maria L. Rojas Bayamon, PR 8/14/2008 6:09:45 AM I am a mother of two westies. I can live anymore without my babies. These 2 are the very different in age and in character.One is 2years old and the other is 9years. I lost two westies already and I stilled cry for them. I wii always remember them,and if I have to die I prefer to do it with them.
Kristi Glen Allen, VA 3/11/2008 12:29:54 PM I am currently the Mom to a westie who fits the profile to the letter!! Brody is always busy and requires alot of attention. He is a rescue, our second one, and I find it necessary to comment on why we see this breed being given up time after time because they"require so much work". Your article makes mention of the physical appeal of a westie - that cute bearded face and round, black button eyes and nose. However, as you also stated, they require a lot of exercise, and must be given the opportunity to work at what they were bred for. I wish we could do a better job in educating prospective buyers of these cute little bundles of energy on the demands that they will have as they grow into an adult dog. Too many end up discarded and abandoned. And then there are the puppy mills in which careless breeding produce pups with multiple health problems. I never miss a chance to spread the word about rescue work for all breeds and the training and care that must be given to pets so that they can become the loving member of the family they were meant to be.

The next version of Google Glass, which is due out sometime in 2015, will be powered by an Intel x86 chip — rather than the Texas Instruments ARM chip that helms the current Glass Explorer Edition hardware. Presumably this is either a move to boost the performance and battery life of Glass considerably — or Intel cut a very generous deal that encouraged Google to move away from ARM for its wearable computing efforts.

Buffalo has revealed its latest external drive, the DriveStation DDR HD-GDU3, slotting more RAM into the USB 3.0-connected enclosure so as to rival SSD speeds, allegedly, with HDD pricing. The new drive, available in 2TB and 3TB capacities, uses traditional spinning-platter disks to keep prices down, but Buffalo claims that thanks to a combination of caching and other tweaking it'll reach write speeds of up to 400 MB/s.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that Netgear unveiled the first 802.11ac wireless router, promising wireless transfer speeds of up to 1300Mbit/s. They may have been the first to announce such a router, but Buffalo seems to be the first to actually ship one, today announcing the AirStation WZR-D1800H router and WLI-H4-D1300 wireless bridge.
Buffalo has unveiled a new range of storage solutions that are aimed at the professional user. The storage solution is the TeraStation Pro Windows Storage Server (WSS) and they come in several different RAID enabled versions. There new storage servers are offered in two, four, and six bay versions. There is also a 4-bay rack mount solution as well.
Buffalo has launched a new portable storage device called the MiniStation Plus. Previously we talked about other MiniStation storage devices and this new offering is similar. The new MiniStation Plus connects to a USB 3.0 port to offer fast storage for whatever the user needs. The storage device is compatible with USB 2.0 ports as well, but using a USB 2.0 port will reduce the performance of the drive.
Ok, so Mother's Day is just two days away. What to get? There are a lot of great techie gifts out there, and we've got them all rounded up right here for you. We've got eReaders, tablets, an unusual video camera, and an amazing phone for an amazing price. Plus, great ways for Mom to get organized and get rid of clutter, and digital storage to keep all those pictures in one place. And, a free way to keep the kids entertained so that Mom can relax. Read on to see it all.
Two pieces of Pogoplug news this week, with the news that not one but two gadgets using the company's remote-access technology are shipping. First up is Pogoplug's own Pogoplug Video, which is now shipping for $199, while Buffalo's CloudStor NAS - which combines both internal storage and Pogoplug-based access - is also shipping now, from $149.99.
Buffalo has just launched the new piano-black MiniStation and DriveStation external hard drives. The MiniStation is USB powered, so there is no need for an additional power cable. It is available in 500GB or 1TB. The DriveStation comes in both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 versions, and offers 1, 2, or 3TBs of storage. Both are available now. Read on past the break for more details about these new drives.
Buffalo has unveiled new USB 3.0 storage solutions that have multiple storage drives inside with RAID capability to protect your data from loss. The new devices include the DriveStation Duo and Quad. Both have speedy USB 3.0 connectivity to make backing up lots of data faster. The devices are plug-and play and come pre-formatted and ready to use out of the box.
Earlier today, Buffalo officially announced the upcoming availability of two brand new storage devices. The DriveStation Axis LED and MiniStation Stealth bring more storage options to the Buffalo-manufactured line-up, offering plenty of space in an affordable package. If you're looking for a small black box to sit on your desk, then the MiniStation Stealth is probably a safe bet, considering its small profile. But, if you're looking for some bright lights to blink on and off, making sure you stay awake, then the DriveStation Axis LED may be your next purchase for the holiday season.

Featured news
The new release enables security teams to detect, analyze and resolve security incidents in a fraction of the time required using conventional approaches. In addition to identifying compromised devices using Mandiants proprietary intelligence, Mandiant for Security Operations helps security teams triage suspected incidents faster.
It can automatically investigate endpoints for Indicators of Compromise (IOC) based on alerts generated in network security solutions, SIEMs and log management applications. Users receive the information they need, when they need it, to make rapid, accurate decisions about suspected incidents so they can stop the most critical attacks in their tracks.
Mandiant for Security Operations is an appliance-based solution that utilizes a lightweight agent deployed on endpoints to perform the following tasks:
- Search for advanced attackers and the APT. Host-based Detection Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) provided by Mandiant identify known threats based on proprietary intelligence; users can also create their own IOCs to look for compromised endpoints.
- Accelerate triage of suspected incidents. Automatic collection of evidence from endpoints and integration with SIEM solutions provides security analysts with pre-staged information about endpoints within the context of their existing workflow.
- Find out what happened, without forensics. Agents deployed to endpoints continuously monitor and record key events to establish a timeline for suspected incidents by correlating alerts with past events.
- Immediately detect compromised devices. Instantly notifies users when a Detection IOC identifies a compromised device, eliminating the need for security teams to perform additional analysis to determine if they are valid.
- Eliminate blind spots. Innovative Agent Anywhere technology works through network address translation (NATs) and across public networks to monitor the endpoints your network detection products cant see and ensure all endpoints in the organization are covered.
- Search for the most dangerous threats. Integrates with advanced malware detection and other devices monitoring your perimeter so you can identify the most dangerous threats of all those that are already present on your network.
- Contain endpoints. Take non-destructive action to isolate compromised devices and deny attackers access to systems while still allowing remote investigation.
Organizations spend millions of dollars to build secure networks to keep would-be attackers at bay. Despite these investments, determined attackers continue to routinely compromise well-secured organizations and steal their intellectual property and financial assets, said Mandiants Chief Technology Officer, Dave Merkel. Mandiant for Security Operations allows front-line security analysts to make better and faster decisions about suspected security incidents, identify and stop targeted attacks when they begin and ensure efforts are focused on the most important issues.

Hi Pier -- Sorry I guess I wasn't clear... getting the file with wget works fine.. all I do is: wget -m fullscreen.com But, what I get is a bunch of myfile.jsp?param=value files. moving this directory into apache doesn't work, b/c when the user requests the file /myfile.jsp?param=value apache looks for myfile.jsp, doesn't find it & returns a 404. So, I'm wondering, is there some way to rewrite the param / values so that JSP understands them & so that apache doesn't attempt to strip them away as parameters? I've seen struts apps & other pages use this format: myfile.jsp;param=value I know that I can use servlet mapping to do something like myfile.do;/pathto/myfile.jsp;param=val;param2=value & have the servlet servicing myfile.do rewrite the URLs into standard format. Perhaps thats what I'll do. I was just wondering if there is some way to get tomcat to do this automatically for a webapp. Thanks again- Matt FullScreen Delicious downloadable desktop delights > WGET works for me...

Mom's going to the Superbowl! You can see how important this is to her -- dream-come-true type of stuff. Might make you tear up a little, it did me. GO HAWKS!
The University of Montana Cheer Squad will host the annual Griz Garden City Glam Jam Sunday, February 2.
Seattle fans can toast their Seahawks with 12 Man Pale Ale.
I think baseball fans are the most superstitious of all sports fans. They can cite all kinds of reasons why their team wins or loses, and they firmly believe in them.
Super Bowl XLVIII is less than a week away. Now that both the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks have arrived in the New York metropolitan area, let's take a look at some fast facts about Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. (6:30 p.m. ET on Fox):
Our thanks to Joel Carlson in sports information at the University of Montana for this update.
You don't have to just bet on the winner of the Superbowl. There are hundreds of proposition or 'prop' bets according to the online betting service Bovada.
Since I appreciate a sense of humor, I would drive my dogs all the way to Wenatchee, WA just to visit this veterinary clinic if I had the time!! Way to show your Seahawks pride! BTW, according to reports, it's just a joke
What an awesome gesture by the state of Illinois! I hope other states are following suit with similar goodwill.
There are plenty of times when we, as fans, hear exactly what NFL players are saying (i.e., "Omaha, Omaha!"), but what else is being talked about on the sideline? Maybe a new video will give you some insight.
Another Montana native has made the U.S. Olympic team. Heather McPhie, who grew up in Bozeman and skied at Big Sky, will compete in the women's freestyle moguls.
Granted, my wife would not have watched as much football this season if the Seahawks hadn't done so well. But, with a little explanation from her awesome husband, she now understands what "third and goal" means or why they would punt when they only have 1 yard to go on fourth down

A High Gain Omnidirectional Antenna Using Negative Permeability Metamaterial
Smart Materials Laboratory, Department of Applied Physics, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an 710072, China

A high gain omnidirectional antenna with low profile is proposed and is investigated numerically and experimentally. Based on the conventional center-fed circular epsilon-negative (ENG) zeroth-order resonator (ZOR) antenna, dendritic structure negative permeability metamaterial (NPM) is used as the substrate to enhance the gain of the omnidirectional antenna. The experimental results show that the gain of a center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna with NPM substrate is enhanced about 2.2 dB, and the efficiency is enhanced about 38%, in the whole broad operating bandwidth as compared to that of the antenna without NPM substrate, which can be used to improve the reliability of wireless communications.
1. Introduction
In the past few years, left-handed metamaterials (LHMs) have attracted a lot of attention because of their unique electromagnetic properties. LHMs possess negative permittivity and negative permeability, which have many potential applications in microwave and communication systems [1–4]. Particularly, the application of LHMs to improve the performance of antennas is a hot topic in the area of antenna research in recent years [5–9]. Based on the concept of LHMs and the transmission line theory, Eleftheriades et al. [10], Oliner [11], and Caloz and Itoh [12] realized composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) and epsilon-negative transmission line (ENG-TL), which can be used to design much more compact and more efficient antennas [10–14].
Omnidirectional antennas are often required in wireless communication systems. Based on the infinite wavelength property (, ) of the ENG-TL, a rectangular ENG zeroth-order resonator (ZOR) antenna with an omnidirectional radiation pattern is implemented [15, 16]. One advantage of this antenna is that the antenna size is independent of the resonant frequency. To improve the symmetry of the radiation pattern, our group proposed a center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna which realized a highly symmetric radiation pattern [17]. Although these antennas are compact, the gains are very low, from 1.5 dBi to 3.5 dBi.
To accommodate the complicated electromagnetic circumstances, high gain omnidirectional antennas are required which can increase the range of wireless network, the signal strength, and sensitivity and hence improve the reliability of communications. One solution to enhance the gain of antenna is to use photonic bandgap (PBG) materials or electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) materials as substrate [18, 19]. These materials have a bandgap within which electromagnetic wave cannot propagate. When the operating frequency of antenna falls into the bandgap, the materials will suppress the surface wave and hence reduce the loss resulting from the surface wave and enhance the efficiency of antenna. However, these structures have some disadvantages, such as large volume and thick substrate.
Similar to the PBG or EBG materials, negative permeability metamaterials (NPMs) have also a bandgap in which magnetic resonance occurs when the NPMs are irradiated by electromagnetic waves [20]. Compared with PBG or EBG structures, NPMs have much compacter structures, and they are more easily to be fabricated. So the NPMs should be able to enhance the antenna gains like PBG or EBG materials.
In this paper, combining the concepts of ENG-TL and NPM, we demonstrate an ENG ZOR omnidirectional antenna with dendritic structure NPM as substrate. The performance of the antenna is studied numerically and experimentally. The proposed antenna can realize the symmetric omnidirectional radiation pattern with high gain and low profile. Employing the resonance bandgap of NPM, the gain of antenna can be enhanced effectively in the whole operating frequencies.
2. Dendritic Structure NPM
A dendritic cell defined by parameters , , , , , , and is shown in Figure 1(a). The dendritic structure NPM can be realized by etching metallic dendritic cells on both sides of the dielectric substrate symmetrically. When the electromagnetic wave incident normally to the dendritic structure NPM, the magnetic resonance occurs within a band in which the electromagnetic wave cannot propagate. Consequently, a negative permeability can be obtained in this band. The resonant frequency is determined by the parameters of the metallic dendritic structure, especially by the length of branch in the dendritic structure. Hence, we can design dendritic structure NPMs resonating at different frequencies by adjusting the parameters of the metallic cells. The detailed demonstration has been depicted in [3, 21].
A dendritic structure NPM which resonates at 5.43 GHz is designed. The structure parameters are optimized by using Ansoft HFSS software. The dielectric substrate is 1.5 mm thick Teflon circuit board material (, ). The metallic dendritic structure is made of copper with the thickness of 0.035 mm and the parameters as follows: mm, mm, mm, mm, and .
The -parameters of the unit cell are simulated also by Ansoft HFSS software. Two ports are placed in front and behind the unit cell separately. The electromagnetic wave incidents on the surface of the unit cell normally and then the and can be calculated. The simulated -parameters of the designed dendritic structure NPM are shown in Figure 2(a). The permeability of the dendritic structure NPM calculated by -parameters retrieval method [22] is shown in Figure 2(b), which shows a negative permeability region around 5.43 GHz. These results indicate that the dendritic structure NPM has a forbidden band with the negative permeability at the frequency around 5.43 GHz.
3. Design of ENG ZOR Antenna with NPM Substrate
To verify the concept that NPM substrate can enhance gains of omnidirectional antennas, an omnidirectional antenna with dendritic structure NPM substrate is designed, and a center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna with monopole like radiation pattern is chosen as the original antenna for comparison [17].
The structure of the original antenna is shown in Figure 3(a). Through the parameter optimization process, a center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna A-1 is designed. The antenna is designed to work at 5.43 GHz which is the same frequency of the resonance of NPM designed in Section 2. The antenna is realized on Teflon circuit board material (, ). The substrate measures 84 mm × 84 mm with thickness mm. Other parameters of antenna A-1 are as follows: the radius of circular patch mm, the radius of circular ground plane mm, the distance from the via-holes to the center of the antenna mm, and the radius of the via-hole mm. For a good symmetry of radiation pattern, the number of the via-hole is set to be 12. The antenna is fed by 50 ohms coaxial probe and situated at the center of the circular patch.
Based on this original antenna, the proposed center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna with NPM substrate (A-2) can be realized by placing a circular array of dendritic structure unit cells surrounding the circular metallic patch and ground plane of the ENG ZOR antenna, as shown in Figure 3(b). For each antenna, the center point of antenna is defined as the origin of coordinates.
The parameters of dendritic structure are described in Section 2. Fourteen dendritic structure NPM unit cells are placed around the antenna, and the distance from the center of the unit cells to the center of the antenna is 34 mm. Figure 4 shows the photographs of the fabricated antennas.
To study the effect of NPM substrate on the performances of antenna, parameters, radiation patterns, and peak gains of both antennas are measured. The parameters of the antennas are measured by an AV3618 Vector Network Analyzer. The gains and the radiation patterns are measured in an anechoic chamber with a well-defined horn antenna.
4. Results
The simulated parameters of A-1 and A-2 are shown in Figure 5(a). The simulated operating frequency is from 5.29 GHz to 5.69 GHz ( dB) for antenna A-1, and it is from 5.32 GHz to 5.83 GHz ( dB) for antenna A-2. Figure 5(b) gives the measured results, which show that the bandwidth of A-1 is from 5.34 GHz to 5.74 GHz, and it is from 5.38 GHz to 5.79 GHz for A-2. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulated results. The center frequency of A-2 is almost the same to that of A-1, which means that the NPM substrate does not change the working frequencies of antennas. Moreover, we observed that the operating bandwidth of the antenna lies in the negative permeability frequency of dendritic structure NPM.
The comparative simulated radiation patterns of A-1 and A-2 at 5.45 GHz (where A-1 and A-2 have the same parameter) are shown in Figure 6. To reveal the radiation characteristic of the A-1 and A-2 in the whole broad operating bandwidth, the radiation patterns of A-1 and A-2 at 5.35 GHz, 5.55 GHz, and 5.65 GHz are also measured and shown in Figure 7. We observed that A-1 and A-2 have almost the same radiation patterns, which indicates that the center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna with NPM substrate preserves well the advantage of the conventional center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna that the omnidirectional radiation is highly symmetrical in the whole operating bandwidth. On the other hand, the energy radiated by A-2 is higher than that from A-1, which means that the NPM enhances the gain of the antenna.
To further study the effect of NPM, the gains of the two antennas are simulated and measured. The simulated peak gains of antennas A-1 and A-2 at 5.45 GHz are 3.9 dBi and 6.4 dBi, respectively. A 2.5 dB improvement in the gain has been obtained. The peak gains as a function of frequency for antennas A-1 and A-2 are measured, and the results are shown in Figure 8. We observed that the gains of A-2 are higher than those in A-1 about 2.2 dB in average at all operating frequencies. So, the dendritic structure NPM can enhance the gain of the center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna effectively.
In our designed antenna, the angles of the dendritic structures are arranged symmetrically along the circle. The simulation and the measurement results show that this arrangement maintains the symmetry of the omnidirectional radiation pattern. Compared with A-1 antenna, both simulation and measurement results give the 0.8 dB increase of directivity for A-2 antenna. The peak gain of A-2 antenna is about 2.2 dB greater than that of A-1 antenna, so we can deduce that there is a 38% increase of efficiency for A-2 antenna. This increase of efficiency is due to the suppression of surface wave by the dendritic structure NPM. Because of the negative permeability of substrate covered by dendritic structures, the surface wave cannot transmit the area and is confined. Consequently, the loss by surface wave reduces, and the efficiency of antenna increases.
5. Conclusions
A compact and high gain omnidirectional antenna is proposed by using the dendritic structure NPM as the substrate of a center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna. Using the forbidden band of the dendritic structure NPM, an enhancement of 2.2 dB in average in the whole operating bandwidth is realized for the center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna. Meanwhile, the advantage of the conventional center-fed circular ENG ZOR antenna, that the omnidirectional radiation is highly symmetrical, is preserved well in the whole operating bandwidth. In addition, the proposed antenna with NPM substrate is low profile, lightweight, easily fabricated, and integrated conveniently with the system, which can be widely used in wireless communication system.

Orochi_Lede posted... Neemoh posted...dolabla posted...So is everybody who absolutely hates the direction the series has taken (like myself) considered trolls now? I really don't understand either side of the argument. It's all opinion, one way or another. A TRUE fan will stick with the series no matter what. I am not a TRUE fan of anything, I am subject to my own opinion when it comes to iteration to iteration. If it no longer interests me, I drop it. End of discussion. But as I've said earlier, the evolution of RE makes sense to me. Leon won't come into a virus infestation unprepared, so why should we assume he should? Chris certainly won't, he has A WHOLE FREAKIN FACTION BEHIND HIM COMPLETE WITH ANY KIND OF ARMS HE COULD WANT. He'd never be in a situation to scare himself or the player. Look at it objectively. Then decide, by pure opinion and not fact, whether it suits you or not. Because the series is going exactly how you should expect it to go whilst using the same characters who know what they are doing at this point. | |
