Not only did Off the Clef provide music, but the A Capella group decided to celebrate Octobapella by dressing up for Halloween a little early! The cast of, but not limited to, Quail Man, Princess Leia, Peter Griffin, Toddlers in Tiaras, and a birthday suit, provided the audience with various trivia questions between numbers. The topics ranged from Pokemon to anatomy – those who screamed out the right answer first won a candy bar. Even though they already provided trivia, laughs and candy, it was not enough for Off the Clef, as two group members dressed as DHOP (Durham House of Pizza) girls raffled off a t-shirt and $20 gift certificate to DHOP itself! The lucky winner was student Kelsey Ford.
The passion and talent these students have for music is extremely apparent—not only because the Entertainment Center was at capacity , but because the entire group was engaged and seemingly enjoying themselves the entire show. Their ability to get the audience involved made everyone feel comfortable to sing and laugh along with the group when they made jokes to each other. If you’re at UNH, you should, without a doubt, go support Off the Clef during their next show December 8th at 8pm in the Strafford Room of the MUB ($3 for students, $5 for non-students) – I know I’ll be there!
About Off the Clef: Formed in 2009, now a UNH recognized organization since March 2010. Members include: Stephen Chambers, Will Ford, Lindsay Goldsmith, Gretchen Klempa, Sarah Goudreault, Jake Kenyon, Erin Kelley, Kevin Miles, Audrey Petteruti, Jesse Parent, Adam Roy, Haley Walsh, and Steven Monroe.

Quite simply, the custom magazine is the Swiss Army knife in your arsenal of marketing tools, able to help you accomplish many of your goals at once.
A custom magazine is a communication tool, allowing you to share your message with a highly targeted audience. The number of pages in a magazine allows you to discuss any subject in much more detail than you could in any other print format, allowing you to show the depth rather than just the breadth of a particular area.
It’s also an education tool, both for informing your community about important health topics and for familiarizing it with the latest services offered at your hospital. In an age of increasing specialization, it allows you to showcase your organization’s strengths and highlight the individuals who make them better than your competitors’.
Of course, a custom magazine is also first and foremost a marketing tool, but unlike most print marketing materials, it’s designed to draw the reader in with compelling material that does a lot more than just sell a brand. An abundance of high quality content on a variety of topics that are both relevant and engaging keeps the reader coming back for more and reflects positively on the sponsoring brand.
How can a custom magazine help my hospital?
The value of a custom magazine is right there in the name. It can do pretty much anything you need it to do, because you have control over its content. And it can perform on its own or as the centerpiece of an integrated marketing effort, complemented by custom websites, video, audio, social media, and other digital tools.
Custom magazines get noticed, and readers are happy to pass them along to their friends and family when they’re done. That means more area residents for you to reach, and more satisfied staff when those residents walk through their doors with many of their questions already answered.
A custom magazine is a big decision, but it’s one that promises even bigger results. If you’re interested, read more about how a custom magazine can dramatically improve your hospital’s brand.

yes i have 2. They follow commands and train well. It does take time, persistence and routine b/c they can be very stubborn. after the 1st year they behave very well to how they are trained. Also, take responsibility for your actions as an owner. If you take it out for bathroom time every 3-4 hrs they will wait for that time. If you forget and wait 6hrs then it's your fault, not theirs.

I enjoyed doing this wedding, it is booked over twelve months. The couple are going out together for nearly nine years. They are very happy together.
They wished to include the Grooms home so this meant going over to his house the night before, we made it look like it was the morning of the wedding. The ceremony was at 12.30 a sensible idea and the Bride was dead on time.
The Groom and the Best men arrived in Williamstown in a Tractor. It looked real well with ribbons and balloons hanging out of it.
The ceremony was conducted by Fr Mooney. He is certainly a very nice Priest. We hit away to the Hotel in a Anglia car 1972 that Tommy had spent the last eight years doing up. The Hodson Bay was great as usual and the Band was Gob Smack from Rooskey I must say one of the best on the wedding scene. I worked on until the Band finished.
I would like to wish Teresa and Tommy a long and happy life together.

This was a great day, and I must say that Amanda & Alan were the most lay back couple I ever met. I wish I was like them, I would not be going around with a grey head.

The reception was in the Hudson Bay, and the grounds around the hotel were in great order for taking photos.
I worked until the tea break, and the happy couple were happy with that.

Hey Brian, I got my B25S back when they first came out with the humbuckers that Carvin had at the time. I don't know how those compare to the new ones, but the bridge PU gives a good middle ground between the more pinched Jaco like sound of a single coil and the HB in my Bunny. My bass also doesn't have frets on it which helps give a little rounder, cleaner sound to the tone. I can't make a fretted bass sound good at all, unfortunately.
My bucket-list bass is a B24 with the new humbuckers in it, checkbook-willing , so at that time I hope I can compare the older ones with the newer ones.
I have some basses with the J99A pickups, and I have to say that they are really versatile and great sounding when the the two pickups are blended together, whether equal or not. My ear doesn't care too much for the sounds I get when the J99A is soloed, be it neck or bridge. The new Kiesel Radium humbuckers are my preference because they have the upper end presence of a single coil and the warmth of a humbucker together, and they don't sound too thin to me when soloed. The Kiesel Radium pickups are to me what the "P90" pickup must be to some guitarists, the best of both the single coil and humbucker.
"Lucien", I listened to your soundcloud clips and I hope you get back to gigging someday if you're able and willing because the music world needs all the good bass players it can get! Take care.
Hey Catman10, no question the radium pick ups are fatter and warmer then the J99's, really great for finger playing. I would love to hear them on my fretless basses as I only use the rear pick up on my fretless basses and they could certainly use some fatness with just the rear pick up being used. Definately a more modern sound then a single coil sound. It has been interesting recording as I recorded both pick ups on two basses to see which fits better in the track. That has been a trip indeed, to hear the difference and to be able to live with my decision on which to use? Massive learning curve I tell you!
Actually, I'd like to hear the difference between the old radiused HBs in my B25S (red dot) vs the new ones. I also use the rear PU only about 99% of the time and as good as the existing ones sound, I'd like a little more fat on the sound if I could get it. I'm not talking replacing the PUs in it, that'd be on the B24 I'm going to eventually order.
That one will have the HAN finish over a maple fingerboard also, sort of my "bucket list" B24 that I've been planning on for several years. I love my 5 string but it sure is a little harder on my aging wrist .
Looking forward to new Bromberg music. Thanks for the tip!
My kids love your music, especially my 10 year old daughter who plays piano. Her favorite album is "It is what it is" and the track "Elephants on Ice Skates". Very much looking forward to the new album.

Where do I start. Ajita is an angel! With her help I could pass the tunnel which had no light. My son at 11 months was waking up every 1.5 hour and used to take close to 45 mins to go back to sleep. It was exhausting, tiring and I felt it was never ending. Then i thought of consulting Ajita. How I wish I would have done that earlier. She made a customised Sleep Right Plan. She encouraged me that you can help your son for his betterment and your own sanity. She was there at every point to help and guide. She is a magician who knows how to turn things around with her knowledge, expertise, care and empathy. In a months time my son who used to wake up 4-5 times a night started sleeping through the night and that too on his own. It was nothing less of a miracle for us. Now even after one year since the training, my son sleeps on his own and sleeps through the night. I recommend every parent who is going through sleepless nights to consult Ajita immediately. I can never thank you enough, Ajita. Forever indebted!!!
Ajita's a magician! At 9 months my son used to wake up every 1.5-2 hrs and wouldn't go back to sleep unless he was fed. Also, he would only sleep for a total of 8 hrs through the night. After following the program for a month he now sleeps for 11 hrs in the night and wakes up only once for a feed and at times he just sleeps through the entire 11 hrs. Even putting him to sleep is a pleasure now because he is happy to go to bed unlike before the program where putting him to sleep was such a dreaded task!!! Ajita has helped me understand my baby so much better. My husband and I have got our evenings back and after a good night's sleep I can give my baby more quality time during the day and for this I am so grateful to Ajita!! Thanks for all the help!
I enlisted Ajita's help because our 1.5 year old had fallen into a habit of waking up every 45-90 minutes and ONLY I needed to settle him back to sleep - sometimes with the help of a bottle, sometimes by patting and lying close to him! This was a pattern since almost when he was 6-7 months old. It was slowly beginning to get to me and also worrying me as I could not see any end to this situation! Ajita with her sleep plan, reined things back in with a definite plan that I felt comfortable with and it worked within DAYS. I couldn't believe I was soon sending her updates that he slept on his own and for almost 10-11 hours at night!
Ajita has a very confident and calming presence and a sense of humour that gets you through that first rough part! I would recommend Ajita to any mom who is at their wit's end and ready to make a change! Thank so much !!!
We were having a tough time getting our 9-month old daughter to fall asleep on her own and stay asleep for more than an hour or two at a stretch. At wits end, we desperately sought out solutions and were most fortunate to stumble upon Ajita online. We decided to give the Sleep Right Program a shot and we could not have been happier. Ajita spent a lot of time with us to understand our concerns and came up with a wonderful, systematic and detailed plan to help our daughter sleep better. And it worked fabulously. In all the follow up sessions, Ajita was an amazing support and kept reassuring us whenever we felt a little lost. It was only with her support and guidance that we have gotten the confidence we need, and reached this far. Our daughter is a far far better sleeper, and only wakes up when she needs to be nursed. I’m sure soon enough she’ll be sleeping through the night. Having learned to sleep better, we have also seen her grow leaps an bounds, mentally and physically, and suddenly does so many new things. Thank you so much Ajita, we will never forget your support!
Firstly I would like to thank you for giving our family so many peaceful and blissful nights without having to wake every two hours not knowing what to do.
When I first heard of sleep training I wasn't sure. How can I sleep train my son? Isn't it normal for children not to sleep through the nights till two years of age? These were the thoughts constantly running through my mind.
I am so so glad I made that call to you. I can't thank you enough for all your patience, guidance and support that helped me overcome my fears and help my son become an independent sleeper. Thank you once again Ajita for making me achieve my goal and bringing some meaning to my everyday phrase, "good night baby, sleep well!"
Our baby was 8 months when we started the programme and he’d gone from sleeping through the night at 3 months, to waking up every hour again by 6 months. The quickest way to get him back to sleep was by bringing him into bed with us and feeding him, so we were all exhausted. When Ajita first gave us our plan, I was very nervous to make the changes and worried we would all end up in tears! However, in just 3 nights he was sleeping through again in his own bed. He now falls asleep by himself very happily at both bedtime and nap time and sleeps through every night for 11 hours, which feels like nothing short of a miracle. We all wake up refreshed and happy in the mornings, ready to play! Huge thanks to Ajita for all her help and support - my only regret is that we didn’t find her a couple of months earlier!
Ajita's help with sleep training our 13 month old has been nothing short of a miracle.
My husband and I were always aware of the sleep training concept, but I was a little unsure about it since I felt that we would have to torture a 'helpless' baby in order to sleep peacefully ourselves. However little Kabir seemed to have a mind of his own viz a viz sleep - An angel during the day, it would be a nightmare to try and get him to sleep at night. And even after he slept, he would wake up every hour and a half throughout the night and would go back to sleep only after a feed. Everyone around us told us with a sigh that that was how it was going to be for the next 3 years of our lives! The turning point came when I started realizing that I was doing the poor baby NO favour by stubbornly carrying on with this schedule or lack of it rather. He was not getting adequate sleep at night and over time it started effecting his personality during the day as well - he would be constantly cranky due to this accumulated sleep deprivation. Thats when out of desperation we reached out to Ajita.
I have to be honest - when I first read her schedule for Kabir, I was like 'Yeah right.. there's no way this baby is going to follow this schedule'!! It seemed counter intuitive as well - how could we give dinner to a 13 month old and put him to sleep at 7pm and expect him to last out till 6 in the morning?!! Added to that was the fact that I wanted to wean him off breast feeding AND put him in his cot in his own room - It all seemed like too big a mountain for us as a family to cross. I have to admit the first couple of nights were tough - but the only reason I didn't throw in the towel then and there, was that Ajita was constantly hand holding us via whatsapp - she would be messaging us even till late in the evening.. telling us what to do and giving constant words of wisdom. The entire 'ordeal' lasted all of 3 days - after which Kabir started sleeping the nights - just like that!!
Our lives have not been the same since - He's tucked in and asleep by 8 -8.15 every night leaving the evenings for us to do as we like. Our social lives are back and all of us are so much happier as a result. Best of all, little Kabir is his normal smiling angelic self again.
I would recommend Ajita to every parent - just stick it out and don't lose hope - you'll reach the light at the end of the tunnel before you know it!
By the time my son Raj turned 9 months, I was exhausted and depressed. We introduced our baby to a pacifier at 2 months because of sleep troubles. The paci helped for a month or so and after that we suffered again. My cousin was repeatedly asking me to contact Ajita ji for months but I was actually scared that she would tell me off. Everyone I spoke to kept telling me I am not trying hard enough. Months of bad sleep had made Raj very cranky all the time, he would not eat his food properly and I was totally fed up. I didn’t realise this then but I was also quite depressed at that time. My husband noticed it but I didn’t. The day I called Ajita for an appointment (very nervously), within the first few minutes, I broke down into bits. She is the kindest, sweetest person and extremely knowledgeable person you will talk to. Mind you she is very strict when it comes to correct implementation of the plan 😊. My son got sleep trained in 12 days. I also want to mention that she counselled me for my PPD and as mothers we are very important members of our families so I highly recommend mothers to seek help for themselves too. The counselling really helped me with my confidence as a parent and an individual. Today my son is 1 year old and I want to express my deepest gratitude to Ajitaji for bringing back sleep, happiness and peace in our lives. Thank you!
We started the Sleep Right program for our baby at 10 months. She'd always been a terrible sleeper and was becoming increasingly difficult as she grew older. The physical strain was bad enough: I had to breastfeed her almost on the hour and one of us had rock her to sleep till our shoulders hurt. Plus, I was stressing because her total sleep was coming up way too short. I'd been ready to sleep train at 6 months, had read all the books and knew what we had in theory. Putting it into practice was another story though. I was worried that my baby was too old, especially because she was becoming more mobile. From our very first session with Ajita, we felt that she'd see us through. And she did. Having Ajita tailor-make a plan is what gave us the confidence. And the fact that you can troubleshoot whenever. We were shocked at how soon she slept on her own! Now my baby is clocking a very healthy 14-15 hours. It's truly the best thing in the world.
Ajita was wonderful! We contacted her when our second child, Maia, was around 7 months old. Ajita was super patient over the phone consultation, really listened to our problems, and was very flexible around our slightly unique needs. We were traveling across continents this past summer when we consulted her and with changing time zones along with a challenging baby, our situation posed quite a problem. But Ajita totally based her plan according to our needs and accounted for jet lags and other such situations. Also, she structured the plan according to Maia's age, which was wonderful! Several months on, Maia is now 15 months old, and she wakes up maximum of once a night, usually when she is ill. Other than that she sleeps well, sleeps in her cot, and we really have Ajita to thank for this unimaginable situation. Thanks Ajita!
Ajita has really helped us in sleepy training our daughter. She customizes the program for every child and sets up a desirable routine which has to be strictly followed. She is also very responsive during the sleep training program and suggested effective modification based on child's response to the sleep training. We did it and we are very happy with the results.I am glad that we have such professional's help and guidance that makes our and our baby's life much better. Thank you so much.
Our baby was 8 months when we started the sleep solution and its changed our lives. Armaan sleeps through the nite and naps like a baby! He would wake up 4-5 times a nite and I had to either rock him or put him in bed with me. He now sleeps on his own, in his bed, and throughout the night. For me, this is a miracle. We are all sleeping at last.
Thank You so much. You really put in great effort to develop a plan for my daughter Rhea. Your system is well explained and obviously well researched and has worked wonders in our house. Getting Rhea to change her sleep habits and patterns was not as difficult as we imagined it might be. Thanks again for your help. Many thumbs up to you!
Wish I had tried this sooner!!!!!! As we speak, my little Rahul is fast asleep in his crib - and has been sleeping since 8 pm. My husband and I are so pleased to get the evenings back to ourselves again...thanks for making that happen for us. And most important Rahul seems happier now that he is getting a good night’s sleep!! Like you say Happy baby, happy family.
You listened to the challenges we were having getting our daughter to sleep, and patiently answered our many many questions! The reality is that we were skeptical at first, but once we implemented your Sleep plan there was no looking back. What I was most impressed about is how you designed your strategies specifically for us keeping all our requirements in place...and we did have a few of them. The best part is we saw positive results within a week! That was a real surprise! Thank you Ajita!!
We are now into the 2nd month and right from the very beginning he is sleeping 11-12 hours without any trouble through the night! Occasionally when he wakes up crying at night, it doesn't even last 10 seconds and he puts himself back to sleep. This to me is simply amazing. It was so difficult for me to get a good night sleep the first 6 months...but now I am able to get 8 hours of sleep every night, and feel fresh and energetic in the morning and can actually perform at the office. Thank you! Thank you!
Getting him to bed is so much fun now and definitely easy. No fuss, no crying, no waking up in the middle of the night. Your plan and suggested routine was so helpful and I was able to start to see results within one week. Great job!
I’ve been really impressed with Ajita. She has been very professional, responsible, and reliable with her recommendations and service. I never thought my 13 month daughter would be able to sleep for longer than an hour without me by her side. After working with Ajita, my daughter falls asleep on her own. I couldn’t be happier to see results so quickly especially after so many months of struggle.
My 4 year old was still not sleeping through the night, crying, getting scared at nights...and I was exhausted and expecting our 3rd child, so I had to do something because everything I had tried didn't work...Ajita gave me a detailed, step by step approach for what to do. The first few nights were tough, but my son responded within 3 nights. He is now sleeping through the night and he and I are so much more rested. I feel as long as you are committed to the process, it will work. I wish I had done this so much earlier.
Ajita's effort is commendable in terms of the specific plan she developed for my husband and I, the time she spent to explain things to us, follow up regularly, and encourage us to stay committed. We are glad we stuck with things because our daughter (15 months old) is now joy to be with at bed time. She sleeps on her own and throughout the night. Thank you Ajita.
Thank you so much for your support and for replying to my every distress messages. I wish I had learnt about you earlier. Never too late, it was my pleasure to have known you. I would definitely recommend you to every mother struggling to get some sleep :). Hope I can still contact you in future whenever I face unsolved challenges of my daughter.
Ajita is amazing! Working with her has been the best thing I have done for my son. She helped to work out the best plan for my son and was incredibly supportive, kind and responsive throughout. My 8 month old was waking up every two hours at night and naps were too short . By the fourth night of the plan my son had started to settle himself, goes down easily and without any reliance on sleep props. He's now sleeping 10-11 hours with 1-2 short wake ups and takes two long naps. He's a happy and well rested baby . I'm so thankful to have found her and would highly recommend her services & sleep solutionto any parent in need of sleep. Ajita you're awesome. Thank you, thank you, we love you !!!
It was almost 11 months our baby "Aahana" was not sleeping throughout the night. She used to wake up after every 2 hours. And all she wanted is bottle with milk. We were exhausted, almost tried every stupid thing suggested by everyone to make her sleep. We came to know about Ajita from internet and were really impressed by reading testimonials. We approached her hoping that this miracle would happen to us. Ajita gave us really nice Child Sleep Solution program, wasn't that difficult to implement. Ajita is not only thoroughly professional but she will keep you motivated when u start thinking that you could not do more. After implementing her program, Aahana has regained her sleep. Moreover we all are having a good sleep. Every morning Aahana wakes up with a big smile and that smile makes us feel that Ajita isn't lesser that god for us.
My nearly 3 year old son hated eating. I felt he was surviving on air. I did everything you can imagine including force feeding, iPad, lots of shouting and threats. I hated feeding him. I would be angry and in tears after every meal. When I heard of Ajita, I had low expectations because I had read so many books and articles, been to so many doctors, and nutritionists but nobody had given me any results. But when his playgroup teacher told me Ajita had helped her 4 years ago with her daughters food problem and she is a very good eater , I had to try.
I will admit I was very uncomfortable to try some of Ajitas methods initially, and I wanted to give up many times because it was really not easy. But every time I wrote to Ajita she would motivate me to stay on track. She is really amazing! After 15 really tough days, I slowly started to see small changes. In 1.5 months my son was eating on his own, no iPad, no forcefeeding, no shouting, no threats.
Smileys, fries, chips, biscuits and juice...No problem!!! Neel would eat them without any fuss. But dal, roti and sabzi was a constant battle. We knew that chips and biscuits were bad for him, but we would give them to him anyway just to get him to take some food...and we always felt guilty after. Thankfully, a friend introduced us to Ajita. Now a meal of roti, subzi, dal, and dahi is eaten up with no fuss. Even my mother is surprised with how quickly Neel changed for the better.
There was not a single day when my son used to eat without watching videos and it would take as much as one hour for him to finish his lunch.. Now thanks to you he finishes his meals without watching any videos and all by himself, and that too in less than 20 minutes. The meal time now has become so wonderful. He is trying new stuff and completely enjoying his meals. Thank you so much Ajita. I wish I had consulted you earlier .
I was spending up to 1.5 hours chasing Neel each meal to get him to eat. Everyone I spoke to said that is just the way it is....but I couldn't handle it. It was taking a toll and time away for me to do other things. Ajita's plan required me to be committed at the start, but it has worked!! I am amazed Neel eats without much of a fuss, sits at the dining table, and is trying new foods and vegetables. I am much happier because I have time to do other things.
My son was always fussy right from when he was a baby. At two years old, there were only a few items he would eat. Roti, chicken, and cheese...and milk. Sometimes, he wouldn’t even touch these. Any fruits or vegetables, rice etc. would be impossible. He wouldn’t even try them. This made me so angry. After speaking to you , I was able to calm down. After implementing your plan, in less than 2 weeks, he now eats every meal I put in front of him now. Thank you very much and god bless!!
Thanks for your plan and insights regarding my daughter’s diet and eating habits. You were so right with your recommendation to ration milk. That simple change made a big difference. Now she is much more open about trying new dishes and generally finishes her whole meal.
I want to share with you that your eat right program has done wonders with Aanya. Meal times are no longer a struggle. She is enjoying her food now. She sits down and finishes her food on her own now without fuss. All the best for all your endeavors and may god give all the heights in your efforts.
I used to feel like pulling my hair out whenever I was trying to get my son (Raghav) to eat. Every meal was a challenge. While I was motivated by motherly love to put something healthy into his body, he clearly was not interested in my plan. Meals are such a pleasant experience now. Raghav sits down, eats what is on his plate by himself, and does not fuss. I am soooo happy with him now at meal times. Thanks for all your good advice!
For the longest time, whenever I spoke to other mothers, we would talk about how our children don’t eat well and how difficult it is to feed them. We all just assumed that there was nothing we could do about it. Thank you Ajita for sitting down to understand my daughter’s behaviour patterns and developing a plan to help her start eating better. I can’t believe how easy it has been to implement the plan. We started seeing improvements within 2 days. We think of you every meal time ;) Highly recommend you to all parents with picky eaters!!!
When I first heard about you, my daughters were driving me crazy with their constant food demands. I would have to make 2 different breakfasts and dinners every day, since they didn't like to eat the same things. Life has become a lot simpler now and my daughters are so sweet and cooperative.
When I put their meals in front of my kids, they would pick away at their plates and tell me that they "didn't like this food" and throw tantrums. And then 10 minutes later they would start begging for all kinds of snacks! We tried everything everybody told us would work but nothing ever did...at least not in the long run. Ajita's methods worked like magic... amazingly simple, and great results!
Thanks for your guidance. It worked wonder for me.After following just a few of the things you recommended, I'm thrilled to report that Rishav and Pranav are like two new children... There is no more whining for milk and snacks all day long. Mealtimes are so much better... and as civilized as meals can be with a 2 and 5 year old. Thanks again for your advice and support through the process!

Have I mentioned that my tattoo artist plays the hurling here in Denver? He tried to recruit me, but I had to tell him me and running don’t get along so well these days.
A hurler AND a tattoist? Mad props to your man. I am not so good with the sliota myself, but it is a pissah sport to watch.

1.4 Impact on RF video 4 of 5: Local oscillator and GHz clocks requirements in Radio applications systems with LMX2594.
Hello, and welcome to video number four of the presentation, Local Oscillator and Gigahertz Clocks Requirement in Radio Applications Systems with LMX2594. My name is Simon. And in this video, we'll cover the section, how signal source specification impact RF radio performance. And more specifically, we'll cover the following five subtopic-- reciprocal mixing, signal to noise ratio and noise figure, error vector magnitude, coherent receiver, and phase alignment, and finally lock time. You are currently watching video number four. There are four more videos. And the topic of each of these videos is described here. How does a signal source, and its specification impact RF radio performance? In order to discuss this topic, I would like to imagine a radio receiver example. This receiver is a single conversion with a data converter, same thing in the second Nyquist. And it has an RF frequency of 4,000 megahertz. The single is down converted to an IF of 375 megahertz. And the data converter is operating at 500 mega symbols per second. In order for that single chain to work, we need two signal sources. We need a first single source at 3,625 megahertz. And that is the local oscillator. And we need a second signal source at 500 megahertz, which is literally the clock for the analog to digital converter. Both of these signal sources are driven from a common reference. And it is the LMK device here from Texas Instruments. So what we're going to do now is, at fairly high level, describe how does phase noise, spurs, jitter, phase alignment, and lock time impact the performance of that receiver or multiple instances of that receiver. So the first topic to discuss here is reciprocal mixing. I take the mixer that is in the previous single chain I isolate it here. I place spectrum of each point on the RF side, on the LO side, and the IF side. So you can see the signal at 4,000 megahertz being down converted to 375 megahertz with the local oscillator at 3,625 megahertz. You quickly notice here that the LO is having a little skirt which is a representation of phase noise. By doing the down converting process on a LO side injection configuration, we can see that the phase noise of the LO is superimposed now onto the IF signal. We could describe this with [? mats, ?] but simply put the mixer is literally chopping the RF at the LO rate. And any noise onto that LO is actually superimposed onto what is left, which is the IF frequency. So the LO phase noise translates into the IF and is superimposed onto the signal. Now, if the quality of the remaining signal on the IF is not a problem, meaning the application does not need a certain level of integrity, that is fine. And here we have a receiver-- if we go back to the receiver on the previous slides, we have a receiver of about 3 dB noise figure. And our receiver sensitivity is fairly good. We have a low noise amplifier of 2 dB, an input filter of about half a dB insertion loss. And the rest of the chain probably contributing with that [? LNE ?] gain to about half a dB. So this 3 dB noise figure is rather good. Now where things gets different is that if we add a blocker in band. By adding a blocker at minus 30 dBm here, what we see is that the phase noise that is on the LO gets also superimposed onto that blocker, and literally floods the desired signal area with noise from that phase noise. So what is the level of that noise? Well, the level of that noise is minus 30 dBm. And we know that a 100 kilohertz offset, that level is minus 120 DBC per Hertz. That means that the noise level at the desired frequency is now minus 150 dBm per Hertz. And that translates into a noise figure of about 24 dB. So this is very different now. We have a receiver without blocker can achieve 3 dB noise figure. And as soon as we have a blocker, due to the phase noise on the LO, we have a noise figure of now 24 dB. So the thing to know here is that in order to improve this, either the blocker needs to be filtered out, which is not always possible, or the LO needs to be improved. There is no other technique here to improve the noise level in this signal chain. The next topic to cover is spur. And remarkably, it is using the same concept. So if I have-- again, duplicating my mixer here with the spectrum for each signal-- I can see that I have a local oscillator here at roughly 3,625 megahertz. And I have a spur here at certain offset. That spur can be mixed with the mixer. And let's imagine simply that we have a blocker. And that blocker will mix again and superpose its mixing product with the spurious response here, over my desired signal. So conceptually, the same thing as reciprocal mixing. If you have a spur into the LO drive and you have a blocker at a certain frequency that corresponds to that offset, you will have a response at the desired signal and here reducing your ability to decode your signal or reducing the integrity of the signal. So that is reciprocal mixing for phase noise, and also spur. The receiver sensitivity change drastically and the phase noise of the source is key. Phase noise and spur is key in down converting the signal without adding noise. The next topic to discuss is the signal to noise ratio and the noise figure in the analog to digital converter. So from a data converter-centric perspective there would be a whole lot more to discuss here. But the point I want to drive is that the quality of the source impacts the signal to noise ratio that can be achieved with the data converter. So simply put, the signal to noise ratio is a function of the input frequency and the total jitter contained in that signal source. Now remember we discussed in video two that the total jitter depends on the application and its integration limit. So you remember the slide where we had different applications require different integration limits. So here you need to go and set your integration limit to obtain the relevant total jitter. Once you know your input frequency you can make an assessment of the signal to noise ratio you'll be able to obtain with that signal source. On the right hand side, I have a graph of the signal to noise ratio that can be achieved with an RMS jitter showing at different input frequencies. So if we were to be at 1 gigahertz and 100 femtosecond RMS jitter, we could achieve roughly 65 dB signal to noise ratio. And this sort of graph is interesting to see what kind of RMS jitter you can afford on to your data converter so that you do not impact the data converter's achievable signal to noise ratio. Now that you have the signal to noise ratio, you want to know what is the equivalent noise figure of that data converter so that you can place it into your signal chain and calculate a total noise figure and do the right thing in calculating the right trade-off for gain and linearity. So the noise figure calculation is very simple. If your data converter is terminated, and typically terminated in a differential input, it will deliver a certain amount of power which corresponds to a voltage swing across this resistor. For the simplicity of the calculation here, I assume a full scale power of zero dBm. I assume a signal to noise ratio of 65 dB. And I assume assembling frequency of 500 mega symbols per second. So what is the ADC noise figure, given these three parameters? Well, I take the total power that I can deliver to the ADC. I subtract the signal to noise ratio, which will give me the integrated noise that is on that full Nyquist zone on the analog to digital converter. And then I subtract 10 times the log of that Nyquist zone, so 250 megahertz. That will give me the amount of dBm per Hertz or power spectral density of my analog to digital converter. If I add 174 to this, I get the actual noise figure of the data converter which here is 25 dB. 25 dB seems to be a lot, but that's a typical number. And once the chain is properly put together, this sort of noise figure is nothing to worry about. Now I would like to move to the next topic, which is the error vector magnitude. An error vector magnitude is the ability for the receiver to do not add phase uncertainty onto the signal. Let's imagine we have an RF signal where the information is placed on the phase. Let's say that it's a quadrature or QPSK here with four phase. And we have the symbol represented here. One symbol, two, three, four symbols. The information is indeed on the phase of the signal. Well, we know that when down converting that signal with the local oscillator, all the phase noise contained in the local oscillator will superimpose onto that IF signal. If the phase noise of the LO is excessive, it will reduce the accuracy of that symbol to a point where it becomes a large impairment that is not acceptable. So the phase noise on the LO, simply put, reduces the phase accuracy onto the modulation and create some halo or some region of phase uncertainty onto the symbol. The integration limit here, as we discuss in video number two, depends on the clock recovery loop on the receive side and on the symbol rate or the data rate for the actual communication system. And that is the error vector magnitude. The next topic to discuss is coherent receiver and phase alignment. There are multiple applications either for multiple input, multiple output system or for phased array antenna where the phase or the integrity of the phase of the signal is critical to the system. So let's imagine here I have two channels and I place two mixers here. And each of these channels-- channel X and channel Y-- are driven with a local oscillator. And that local oscillator has different phase. So you can see here that the blue time domain sine wave that is here is having obviously different phase in time. The impact of having different phase on the local oscillator will actually change the phase on the IF. So for the purpose of illustration here only, I rotated the actual constellation to show a different phase. But really, for example, in a phased array antenna where we would combine these signals, having the phase to be aligned, even before we talked about recovery or data recovery or demodulation, is critical. The interesting point here is that LMX2594 can provide deterministic phase from multiple instances of the device or from power up to power up, provide always the same phase to a first order. The two blocks that require synchronization to enable the deterministic phase is the output divider and the delta sigma modulator. And LMX2594 has the ability or the features to provide that synchronization so that you have deterministic phase. The next topic to discuss is lock time. So here I imagine two applications where lock time is critical. One of them is in a communication system where there is frequency hopping. So frequency hopping is a communication system that don't like to, let's say, stay at a certain frequency for a long time. So it's constantly changing frequencies. So if the lock time is important or the repositioning of the local oscillator is important, that down time here is timed at you are not able to do anything. You need to wait for the local oscillator to reposition. So the smallest that time is, the better. So that's one application. The other application is simply in tests. So let's say you have a piece of equipment that is doing a certain number of tasks and needs to change frequency. The faster it can change to these frequencies, do the work it needs to do, the better. So repositioning a certain local oscillator or a certain clock and waiting is downtime or wasted time. So to that end, LMX2594 can calibrate its entire VCO system in less than 25 microseconds. There are multiple methods to calibrate LMX2594. And each of them can reduce that calibration time. If you were to pre-calibrate LMX2594, you could enable the calibration and complete a lock in less than five microseconds. That is the end of the section on how a signal source specification impact radio performance. I'm going to stop here. And we'll resume on video number five, which we'll discuss the data sheet specification and using a LMX2594 device.

SXSW Eco, a conference held in the name of the popular festival series SXSW, announced the 46 companies that will pitch at the conference held this October. Of the 46 finalists, eight have been selected from the social impact category and will pitch in front of a live audience, a panel of judges, and top VC firms from around the world.
So who are this year’s most innovative disruptors in the realm of social impact? Their breadth is impressive, and their goal collectively remains to make the world a better place, whether that is in the realm of safe drinking water, energy, science or technology.
The startup company is focused on commercializing disruptive technologies that help in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in women and children. The company focuses specifically on cancer, autoimmune diseases and childhood illnesses and aims to commercialize the most promising technologies in human diagnostics in an age of rapid innovation.
This genetic engineering startup created the Microbial Design Studio, a machine that will allow researchers, designers and innovators to test and research with microbial design and experimentation. One of the greatest value-adding elements of this technology is its aim to be inexpensive, easy to use and adequately sized, allowing the technology to be disseminated to the countertops of next-gen researchers.
This company designed the DayOne Waterbag, a 10-liter personal waterbag with patented technology that allows for the treatment, purification and storage of water. With the technology this personal waterbag provides, it can be easily distributed to survivors of natural disasters that may live in areas where water has become contaminated.
This Berlin-based company is creating products powered by solar technology to bring the world sustainable energy sources. Benefiting communities without electricity, this sustainable energy business is championed by designers and engineers alike, developing a product that brings both utility and high-quality design to communities that need it most.
With the tag line “Fireproofing the world, safely,” this company has developed patent-pending and eco-friendly fire safety products that combat solid and liquid fires. Many fire retardant products include chemicals that are very harmful to the environment, and this is where Miraculum has found its differentiator. With no other clean technology solution in this market available, Miraculum’s products can be used in both preventative and active firefighting situations.
The Tycycler is a non-motorized device designed to help informal waste workers recycle tires in Africa in a way that is affordable and efficient in comparison to the process used today. When wasted tires are burned, carcinogenic smoke is emitted and economic activity that could result from recycled tires is prevented. The few options that do exist for recycling tires are inefficient. The device first prototyped in Nigeria earlier this January will motivate informal workers to recycle tires through its ease of use and affordable engineering.
This company is innovating a new model for jaundice treatment through a product called SnugLit. The product uses a new approach to phototherapy that allows newborn infants to be held by their mothers and family members during their treatments, thus creating more efficient hospital procedures and using best practices in early-life bonding for infants and their mothers.
This Nigeria-based company has developed an incentivized method to give low-income communities the ability to find value in waste through cleaning up their neighborhoods. By deploying a fleet of low-cost bicycle-powered collection vehicles (wecycles), workers are able to collect materials and supply them to local waste management authorities, ensuring both cleanup and an active supply of materials for the recycling industry.
For these eight companies, innovation means leveraging technology, science and creative methods to solve today’s most pressing problems. With high attendance from venture capitalists at the conference this fall, there exists true opportunity for these companies to be taken from small startups to funded, growing endeavors, all for the betterment of community, the environment and the social impact ecosystem.

Update (Sept. 10): Here are links to an introductory video about Rock Shabbat and the group's first Havdalah event, held Sept. 8.
Sam Rosenbaum and Sam Rotenberg, who have a band called BeSamim, will be accompanied by Asher Krell of Birmingham on the road trip, which kicked off in Augusta, Ga., on Sept. 3.
The Rock Shabbat tour will take them to 16 cities, where they will meet with Jewish musicians, explore their music, and at the end of the week, hold a community Havdalah, inviting all the local musicians. They plan to have the Havdalah at a neutral site, so all would be comfortable attending.
They will first head northeast, then go cross-country through Chicago toward Washington state, down the west coast and back to the Southeast.
They will be in New Orleans the week of Dec. 2, finishing with a community Havdalah on Dec. 8. Rock Shabbat will then drop in on Birmingham on the way to Atlanta, with the tour concluding in Miami on Dec. 22.
That evening, they hope other communities across the country will hold their own Havdalah services.
The two Sams had been working on this project for a year, then received funding for it from an anonymous donor. While at camp this summer, they asked Krell to accompany them.
They sat down and figured out which cities had musicians they knew, and started filling in gaps from there. One stop is Rapid City, S.D. “It will be really interesting to see how they interact, after we’ve been to New York and Chicago,” Krell said.
They want as many people as possible involved, and hope those attending the Havdalahs or viewing them online will look at the events from other communities.
“Hopefully it will create connections between people,” Krell said.
The tour’s name is actually a play on words, Krell noted. Certainly, one aspect is to rock Shabbat, in terms of music. But there is significance in the tour’s end — Dec. 22 is the day that the Mayan calendar supposedly predicts for the end of the world.
They are playing on the Hebrew word “rak,” pronounced the same way, which means “only.” As everyone else is in a frenzy over the end of the world, their message is that Dec. 22 is rak Shabbat — it’s only Shabbat.
Details of the tour and the ongoing webisodes will be available at www.rockshabbat.com.

The latest Credit Crunch Tracking Report from RED C shows that Irish consumers remain as optimistic as post-election three months ago, and much more optimistic than a year ago. Expectations for the Irish economy have also improved, and as a people we claim to much “happier” than three months ago.
The survey was carried out in June and shows slightly increased consumer spending but also that concerns over the World economy are stiffling further increases.

It's happening! K-Pop superstars BTS are making their first appearance on daytime TV in the United States today, and we've got the videos!
The group’s appearance on Monday’s episode (November 27) of Ellen was recorded last week.
The insanely popular group made Ellen DeGeneres’ set look more like the hottest club in the country, as fans screamed while the band rocked out with their performance of “MIC Drop."
Ellen even joked that their arrival to the United States was "like when the Beatles arrived."
Which BTS' Single From 2017 Is Your Favorite?
DeGeneres asked the group about the personal messages behind some of their lyrics which hit on serious issues – including mental health – which transcend across all language barriers.
“We have different languages, but we can all share in the same message,” they said.
“Music does bring us all together, you’re absolutely right,” Ellen responded.
Earlier this year, we aired our “I’m Listening” program to end the stigma of talking about mental illness. You can listen to our entire broadcast by clicking here. Meanwhile, ImListening.org has links to additional resources and support for those in need.
Can't get enough BTS? The group will appear on Wednesday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.

Advocates of instant-runoff voting say Alameda County officials and Diebold Election Systems are dragging their feet, preventing a majority winner in a current Oakland City Council mail election and slowing efforts for instant-runoff voting in Berkeley.
In addition, several dozen election-reform advocates, including some local government officials, protested outside Alameda County offices in Oakland on Tuesday against what they said was an attempt by Diebold to overcharge the county for implementing instant-runoff voting.
"Diebold is holding the county hostage to try to extort money,'' said Dave Heller, a co-coordinator of the successful campaign for instant-runoff voting in Berkeley, where it was approved by voters last year.
A Diebold official denied that the company was moving slowly or inflating prices.
"We're certainly not holding any part of this process up,'' said Steve Knecht, the company's California sales manager. He said a $2 million figure to reconfigure the county's election system to allow for instant runoffs was a rough estimate, and that company officials are doing a more thorough analysis that should be made public within a few weeks.
Alameda County Registrar Bradley Clark, who wrote a letter March 15 asking Diebold to develop a plan for implementing ranked-choice voting, said San Francisco spent about the same amount getting its instant-runoff voting system running in November's election.
Rodney Brooks, chief of staff to Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson, called the $2 million figure "ridiculous.'' Brooks contended that the company given the contract for the county's election equipment, Global Election Systems, had said it could be easily converted to ranked-choice voting. That firm was purchased by Diebold, which assumed the contract.
But Knecht countered that Global only told the county that touch screens could be easily adapted, not the entire system. A conversion would be complicated because it would require state and federal certification, but neither state nor federal agencies provide guidelines for instant-runoff voting.
About a year ago, complaints from Clark about the performance of Alameda County's Diebold electronic machines led to a state and county false claims lawsuit that resulted in the Texas-based company paying a $2.6 million settlement in November.
Advocates say ranked-choice voting avoids costly runoff elections and makes elections more fair. Under the system, voters rank choices for the office being decided and if no candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and the votes are redistributed by rank until someone receives a simple majority of votes.
In 2000, San Leandro voters approved a measure allowing the use of instant-runoff voting but recently spent $80,000 on a special runoff election for a City Council district, San Leandro City Councilman Tony Santos said.
Oakland voters in 2002 approved the use of instant-runoff voting to fill City Council vacancies, and Berkeley voters approved it for all races in 2004.
Kenneth Mostern, who ran the campaign for the instant-runoff measure in Berkeley and now runs a private election management firm, said he recently paid a company $55,000 to create the system that was used in an election for officers of the KPFA-FM radio station, which has 96,000 voting members.
Berkeley City Councilman Kriss Worthington said the county's failure to implement instant-runoff voting means that the will of a majority of voters in the ongoing special election for City Council in Oakland's District 2 will likely be denied.

Last night I decided to go to H.E.B. and see if I could find some snacks that were lower calorie than what I’ve been eating. I picked up these Lil Bites chocolate chip muffins (190 calories), Fiber One oatmeal cookies (120 calories), and Fig Newtons (60 calories per bar).
Oh man those Lil Bites chocolate chip muffins taste just like chocolate cake with fudge frosting. I was so excited. I did overeat on them, but I’m not going to do that anymore. I’m excited to find something to replace my expensive unhealthy cake habit.
I’ve started taking pictures every day at work, so there will be more pics of me on instagram.

Bernie Sanders’ visit to L.A. happened to coincide with the vernal equinox, but he wasn’t in town to court the city’s crystals and reiki crowd.
The Virgo from Vermont stopped by UCLA to speak at a rally for striking UC employees, presenting himself not as a candidate for president, but as an ally to workers. While Sanders received a blaring reception by the crowd, others felt that his real audience lay on the other side of the news cameras and notebooks.
“I am here today, I should tell you, not as a candidate for president, but as somebody who has spent the last 40 years of his life walking on picket lines with unionized workers,” he said. Long before he rose to national prominence, Sanders legislated and advocated for robust unions and broad workers’ rights.
But even as Sanders made efforts to compartmentalize his roles as candidate and activist, the rally itself seemed to undermine him. On either side of him, picket signs and posters spelled out one of the slogans of the rally: “UC For the Many, Not the Few,” a line that Sanders himself employed when announcing his recent bid for the presidency.
“Our campaign is about creating a government and economy that works for the many, not just the few,” he wrote in an email to supporters.
Sanders’ appearance on stage was preceded by speakers from unions representing UC employees, who walked out of negotiations with the University of California last week.
The Democratic Party has become markedly more liberal since Sanders’ last run in 2016, so the senator may have to work harder to distinguish himself from the rest of the field. While he differentiated himself from Hillary Clinton in 2016 by supporting positions like Medicare for All, other candidates like Senator Elizabeth Warren, Congressman Cory Booker, and Senator Kamala Harris have proposed similar plans of their own.
The rally provided a perfect vehicle for Sanders’ message of economic populism, railing against the excesses of the one percent and increasing income inequality. But even here, Sanders began to stray into campaign territory, hinting at solutions in the way of a political candidate.
“If I have anything to say about it—and I expect that I will—we are going to make it easier for workers to join unions, not harder,” he told the crowd.
The optics of Sanders’ solidarity may play well nationally, but for some who attended in person, it felt like the Senator hijacked the event.

Walmart is introducing a new feature called Easy Reorder to its online shopping website and mobile app that will help make the ordering of frequently purchased items faster and easier.
It's Walmart's latest digital move to compete with Amazon, according to a Retail Info Systems report. The feature registers Walmart purchases and saves them to a shopper’s purchase history on Walmart.com, building a list of items purchased often, in order of frequency.
In a company blog post, Jordan Sweetnam, vice-president, Customer Experience & Product, Walmart Global eCommerce, wrote that Easy Reorder remembers all of the items a customer has purchased – whether on the app, on a desktop computer or in-store.
"Here’s the cool part," Sweetnam wrote. "We’re integrating both in-store and online purchases to provide you with a single spot to view (and repurchase) the items that you buy most frequently – items like dog food, cereal, shampoo and diapers."
Sweetnam said the feature leverages Walmart's more than 4,700 U.S. stores and Walmart.com to save customers time and money. "Easy Reorder contributed to the growth we saw in the first quarter," Sweetnam said.

SWINDON are delighted to announce the appointment of Lee Kilby as co-promoter subject to British Speedway Promoters’ Association approval.
The club have made the move after Colin Pratt accepted the opportunity to switch to newly promoted Peterborough, closer to his Norfolk home.
Kilby, the son of legendary rider Bob, has a lifelong association with the CFS Filtration Robins and has worked as commercial manager – he will continue with these duties as part of his new role.
He will now step up alongside co-promoter Alun Rossiter, Steve Park and chairman Terry Russell as part of the management team.
“I’m overwhelmingly happy,” said Kilby.
“Terry Russell mentioned it to me previously in passing, and I said if opportunity arose I’d be chomping at the bit to do it.
“We spoke about it more, and it’s obviously an honour to become a promoter. I’ll give it everything I’ve got.
“I’ve essentially been promoting anyway in the commercial role, that’s what it’s all about trying to get sponsors, but I’m delighted to be given an opportunity in an official capacity."
Russell is delighted to have Kilby on board and referred to him as part of the “future of the club”.
He said: "We are excited to offer Lee this opportunity, he's Swindon through and through with the family connection and his father, Bob, was a great rider.
Kilby replaces the experienced Pratt, who is joining Peterborough with the best wishes of Swindon Speedway.
"Colin leaves with our good wishes, I totally get it that he has a chance to work for a club closer to home and we wish him all the very best,” Russell added.
Pratt, meanwhile, explained he could not turn down the chance to move to a club closer to his Norfolk base.
Pratt commented: "It's a sad day for me to leave Swindon because I've had some great times there and they have good people at the club.
"I go back years with Terry Russell and I thank him for the opportunity to work with Swindon.
"Peterborough is closer to my Norfolk base and it makes perfect sense for me to go there.
"I wish Swindon all the very best, they'll be a good team with Jason Doyle going back there."

The excitement of possibilities. What a wonderful turn of phrase. And so true!
There is a definite connection between anticipation and happiness. The authors of the study, researchers from the Netherlands, interviewed more than 1,500 people, including 974 vacationers, and found that the vacationers felt most happy before their trips.
I believe that that is because of the excitement of possibilities. And I agree with Gloria Steinem (or course I do!) that dreaming is absolutely a form of planning! And at the moment I am awash in this excitement. I am planning and dreaming and planning some more. I am in the process of planning the roll out of my national book tour here in NZ. It’s very exciting. Working closely with my brilliant publicist, Sarah Sparks of Markom PR. We have dates set for several venues in Thames and around the Coromandel Peninsula, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, and many points between. Such an exciting time doing all this planning and anticipating . . . once I’m on the road and going full steam ahead some of that excitement may wane, but for now, the dreaming and planning is joyful!
For those of you interested in receiving updates via newsletter, please visit my website: thiswayupbook.com and sign up!
I’d love to hear about your experience around the excitement of possibilities. And as always thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.
Arianna Huffington believes so. In her new book Thrive, Huffington redefines success and describes how to create a life of well-being, wisdom and wonder.
Personally, when I find myself stuck in a negative mind loop, where I am focused on something negative, causing me to stress out and stay stuck in fear, the best way out for me is by going through my gratitude list. In my 7 Tools for Transformation, Tool 6 is: Gratitude for what you have NOW.
I have attached two interviews with Arianna Huffington about her new book.
The first one is a “Talk at Google” and is relatively long and in depth.
For those of you with less time, the second interview is with Ellen DeGeneres and is only 6 minutes.
Please let me know what you thought of these videos, and if you’ve read Thrive, I’d love to hear what you thought of the book. Or if you’d like to share what you are grateful for today, that always makes me happy! And as always, thank you for taking the time to visit. I appreciate it.
