Cycling to work for beginners
Cycling to work for beginners
But knowing this may still not be enough reassurance for you to take to two wheels. In that case, a short course in cycle training may be just what you need to give you the skills and confidence you need to make you feel – and be – safer.
Don't worry about being made to feel silly with memories of riding around bollards in the school playground when you did your Cycling Proficiency. Things have moved on apace since those days and cycle training now mainly takes place in the real world and could involve the journeys you actually want to make.
After an assessment of your ability to ride and control the bike, which takes place away from traffic and is called Level 1, you will be shown how to negotiate quiet roads by riding in a more dominant position away from the kerb and making eye contact with other road users.
Once you feel confident at Level 2, you can then move on to Level 3 – here an experienced instructor will show you the best way to tackle busier roads, junctions, roundabouts and any other locations you wish to cycle in regularly.
But not only do instructors help with road skills, they are also a fount of knowledge about all things cycling, whether it's finding the quietest routes, how to dress appropriately and which bike to choose for your style of riding. They will also teach you how to check your bike for faults and make simple adjustments to it, and can advise on the best equipment for commuting.
There is a national database of instructors, instructors usually charge anything between £10 and £25 an hour, so contact one and see how they can help you make the move to two-wheeled freedom. You could even invite an instructor into your workplace for a group session, like WWF did.
In the meantime, hear are our top tips for negotiating traffic safely:
Leave that lorry alone
Never ever, undertake a lorry on the left, especially if you are at junction. Don't do this even if there is a cycle lane.
Remember if you cycle on the left hand side of a lorry you are in the driver's blind spot and if the lorry turns, you will have no escape. It is difficult for drivers of large vehicles to see you, so don't hide by the side of the vehicle.
Make eye contact
Making eye contact with other road users, particularly at a junction, coming out of side roads and at roundabouts, this may tell you if the driver has seen you or not.
Look over your shoulder
Regularly look over your shoulders to see what is happening all around. Check behind you when moving away from the kerb, before you signal to manoeuvre and at regular intervals to communicate with other road users.
Look ahead
Look well ahead for obstructions in the road, such as drains, potholes and parked vehicles, so that you do not have to swerve suddenly to avoid them. Planning ahead helps you to be prepared for junctions, roundabouts and traffic lights.
Get out of the gutter!
Your road position should not be less than 1 metre from the kerb and should be further out if it is not safe for a vehicle to pass. If someone does pass you inconsiderately, then you have more room to get out of harm's way. Keeping away from the gutter will enable drivers to see you and also help you miss the drain covers and debris on the side of the road too. Take extra care to hold your position near road humps and other traffic-calming features.
Don't be floored by car doors
Leave plenty of room when passing parked vehicles and watch out for doors being opened into your path.
Make your intentions clear
Make your signal and manoeuvre well in advance, and only when it is safe to do so. Keep your position in your lane so vehicles cannot undertake closely on your left.
Cover your brakes
Keep your hands on your brake levers, so that you are ready to use them. Always use both brakes at the same time. Take extra care when it is wet or icy.
By law, when it dark or there is bad visibility you must have lights on the front and rear of your bike. Always carry spare small lights in case your main lights are not working.

two issues...
Volume 7.2
the Film Archive: Practice, Theory, Canon
Volume 8.1 (Spring 2000) Critical
History: The Career of Ian Watt
Movements of the Avant-GardeVolume 7.1, 1999This issue is a result of the conference, "Movements of the Avant-Garde," held at
Stanford University in May 1997. It addresses the concept of movement both as artistic group and as the physical transport of bodies through space in order to see
what ruptures this might cause in the smooth fabric of theories of modernism. Following the geographical movements of the avant-garde, artists found rich, yet
troubled, encounters between Europe and the Americas, East and West, an imagined modern and its designated primitive. The search for a link between the theories and the
travels of the avant-garde led inevitably to inter-disciplinary work that reflected the avant-garde's own experimentation with new media and poetic forms. .
...and Issues on the Shelf
The Athlete's Body
Volume 6.2, 1998 Situating the athlete's body at the center of the complex web of psychological,
social, cultural, economic and historical forces that together make up modern athletics, this issue approaches its topic from two perspectives: it examines the
mind/body relation as it pertains to athletic performance and experience, and it examines the history and sociology of sport within various cultural contexts.
Disciplining Literature
Volume 6.1, 1998This issue offers a collection of essays by leading scholars in the different literary
fields and methodologies, focusing on the institutional origins and implementations of those discursive practices that bear the name of literary
scholarship, literary history, or simply literature. The contributors attempt an evaluation of the contemporary relevance and status of literary scholarship within the academy.
Membership, Migration, and Identity: Dilemmas for Liberal Societies Volume 5.2, Spring 1997
The authors of the articles in this issue of the Stanford Humanities Review situate themselves, with varying degrees of explicitness, in both the immigration-based
membership debates and the wider debates about political and cultural identity. They share a commitment to "deconstructing" or "unpacking" the frames of
reference such debates deploy. In making explicit the contingency of meanings and the problematic vagueness of universalistic principles and global solutions, these
authors speak in post-modern voices. But in examining the genealogies of particular theories and local constructions of political membership, these authors
pierce the veil of modernity to reveal vibrant pre-modern nativisms and self-understandings. They articulate how this veneer has engendered complacency, mystification, and injury.
The Cultural and Technological Incubations of Fascism An SEHR Special Supplement This issue Stanford Humanities
Review devoted to the topic of "Cultural and Technological Incubations of Fascism," originated as a research seminar conducted by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Timothy Lenoir, and Jeffrey
Schnapp in the winter quarter of 1993. It was built to an unusual degree around hands-on archival research performed at Stanford's Hoover Institution and in Green Library's Special Collections,
and it brought together a remarkable cross-section of advanced students from disciplines as variegated as History, History of Science, Classics, Comparative Literature, Drama, English, Spanish,
Portuguese, French and Italian Studies. It was not intended as a course 'about fascism' in any strict or narrow sense. Nor did it focus upon the concatenation of historical events and
circumstances that led to the rise of fascist movements and to their triumph in various parts of the globe during the 1920s and 1930s. Rather, the seminar was set up as an interdisciplinary
research forum concerned with the socioeconomic, cultural, and technological preconditions that played different roles as catalysts for the emergence of fascism - even if their relationship to
'fascism' can rarely be described by such terms as causality or necessity.
Contested Polities
Volume 5.1, Spring 1996 Literary critics, historians, political scientists, and a grab-bag of
interdisciplinary specialists weigh in on religion, culture, and politics in the Middle East -- a set of categories endlessly subject to warring interpretations.
Constructions of the Mind: Artificial Intelligence and the Humanities
Volume 4.2, Spring 1995 Philosophers, Artists, Literary Critics,
Sociologists, and Cognitive Scientists inquire into the possibility of using computational models to gain a better understanding of the mind and humanity. With an interview of Heinz von Foerster,
one of Cybernetics's founding fathers.
"Bridging the Gap": Where Cognitive Science Meets Literary Criticism
Volume 4.1, Spring 1994 Cognitive scientist Herbert Simon presents his views on the foundations and role
of Literary Criticism and draws all kinds of responses from 35 Humanities scholars.

Haven't found anything yet?
A snapshot in morning dew: refreshed by a trickling shower of rain, countless blossoms dance in the gentle wind. The day's first rays of sun drown all of naturee in a crystal splash of colour. The "Deco Chic 2015" collection, from wallpaper manufacturer Rasch, skilfully captures the most beautiful mood of the day and enchants with its noble elegance.
The mainly floral theme of the collection is characterised by delicate flowers that resemble wild yarrow. Despite the size of the subject, the pattern is very discreet and restrained. It would rather be a silent companion, than draw attention by being loud and shrill. This is achieved by combining matte lavender with light stone grey. The subtle colours give each room a plainque elegance and the charm of adult youthfulness, while immersing walls in precious beauty.
The fine texture of the background against which these motifs are placed is truly impressive. It creates the impression that the wallpaper is made of the finest linen. Short vertical lines break the structure again and again, giving the weave a very natureal appearance.
You decide: small delicate buds, layered on numerous levels like a sea of blossoms, or large, full sumptuous blooms enthroned on a grey-brown background as if finely etched in pencil. Scribbled tendrils animate the background and provide sweeping lines. The various plain colours can be combined beautifully with these. Whether elegant in fine linen-look or in the currently hot crash-look – colours such as magnolia white, apricot, meadow green, lavender-violet and stone grey give your home a natureally beautiful ambience. Ice blue and silver offer cool contrasts. If you like more structure on your wall, opt for a plain colour that is crisscrossed horizontally with brightened irregular lines.

Review of the 10030 UCS Star Destroyer
I was very excited when I got the huge box. (With huge I mean really huge!)
I immediately opened it, was impressed from the four inner boxes and the instruction.
The parts in the bags were mostly sorted so I could start building immediately.
I started with the outer parts of the ship. It took most of the big plates.
With that three days of building fun started. You had to do some parts twice, four times or even 32 times, but it was absolutely not repetitive. Building was a lot of fun.
And the complete modul parts looked very impressive.
But then, at day 4 I tried to connect all the parts.
It was so unstable! I never managed to connect the lower outer parts to the body.
It smashed at several parts, the magnets did not hold it at all. It was no fun anymore!
Then the bridge parts. They were unstable as well. While trying to connect the lower bridge part with the upper part it smashed and hit two of my most worthful minifigs. They are broken now.
Finally, somehow I managed to keep it together. It still stood at the floor, so I wanted to carry it to a shelf.
Arriving at the shelf it was broken again.
I am very disappointed

Well, I don't know.
But you can ask my parents and my friend what difficulties I had and how many screams and yells came out of my room today.
Here are some photos from the building process. I did not make photos from the crashs, I was too angry, annoyed and such things.

For moving it from one place to another, I'd suggest stripping it to it's frame and putting the other parts back on when you put it down. That's what I did.
Also, I had no problem with stability, but the beams did bend after a while and the magnets didn't hold the hull together anymore. I'm sure there are some solutions to this though.

Cool thanks for the review.
I don't think I'm going to be getting this set anymore. Atleast not until I can figure out ways of making it sturdier.

It is not difficult to modify this set to make it sturdier.
I added some more support beams inside and a few more magnets and mine has been on display for over a year with no sagging. I can even swoosh it around if I want to.

Judging by the pics it the UCS sd has a similar build style to the 6211 sd. Starting with that internal triangle. Not sure why you had trouble with this, it looks simple to put together. Maybe you missed some parts during construction. I don't know. The magnets look as though they are suppose to hold other sections to it. There are instructions on brickshelf showing how to mod the nose section to avoid the sag. Don't fret andi, with a bit of modding you could make it really solid.
Please refer to me as SWR.

No thanks, I have closed with that set. It's already at Ebay.
I stick with the smaller one.
But Voice of Reason would you tell us your secrets, and maybe even show some photos how you modded it? It could help others to keep the disappointment smaller or even totally away.

I think this set is getting a bad wrap with all these reports of instability etc. Mine's also been on display for over a year. The only problem I've ever had with it was caused by a high velocity feline knocking one of the underside panels loose. Easiest fix I've ever had to do. Just lift the panel back into place and snap, the magnets do the rest.

Sorry to hear your frustration and disappointment with the set Andi
I don't recall running into the problems that you ran into while putting my set together which was over a year and half ago. Set is still standing, only issue I ran into was hyper-excited cocker spaniel running into the port side of the ship causing both top and bottom panels to separate but that was quickly remedied
I have nothing but love for TLG, but just makes me wonder if their quality control might have a tad to do with some of your experience perhaps? Only saying this because out of the last couple of 2007 SW sets I've bought, I've had to already call Lego Customer Service to have parts replaced because I'd end up getting two identical pieces instead of two alternating pieces (i.e. two left wing pieces instead of left and right).
Anyways, sorry that you were one of the few that had a negative experience with this otherwise excellent set!

I got this set for Christmas, so here's a nice little review of it
8/10- A very wide range of parts
0/10- it didn't come with any...
10/10- it's a UCS. what did you expect?
2/10- get creative. find a bunch of minis, and have a giant war around it. or have it act as a flagship.
Price to parts:
6/10- I didn't get some of the required parts, but they were easily found.
4/10- I'm pretty sure it's only available at lego.com...
8/10 average.
I'm very satisfied with my Destroyer. I'm still showing it off to my friends and family
I should have pics up soon.

I am part way through the build and so far really enjoying it. I am following the proper sequence as per the instructions. So the structural skeleton was built first, then the rear with the engines, then the two larger lower panels. Everything went together perfectly so far.
Can't wait to get back to building more of it. (Because of time committments I'll have to spread it over the evenings all week, a couple hours here a couple hours there...).

I just finished building this in two marathon sittings the last two nights. All I can say is, "Wow!"
This baby is absolutely stunning. Even the pictures, which looked cool, didn't do it justice. This is just something that needs to be beheld to be believed. My main problem now is finding a place to display it.
As stated, you start of building the triangular frame first. The one thing I didn't realize until later is that you actually build the same frame twice, and then flip one over to attach it. It might have been easier to build them simultaneously, rather than one after another, but what are you going to do? This part was actually pretty enjoyable except for the part where you have to essentially build the same part 32 times (16 for each triangle). Granted, these are the greebled pieces that run around the outside perimeter, so its time well spent. It just got a little repetitious, that's all.
Next came the rear panel and the 4 other panels (2 on bottom, 2 on top). These were pretty simple and straightforward. My only snag came when I realized my instructions were missing a page. Fortunately, I was able to look forward to the mirror image for the other side and reverse-engineer it for the side I was working on. It sounds complicated, but it was actually fairly simple. The thing people need to remember here is that the magnets are NOT the primary means of holding these on. They used the same type of method they did with the 6211 with bricks attached to technic rods to connect the panels along the outer edge. The magnets then hold the piece in place along the centerline.
Finally we came to the two pieces that would form the bridge (and the area below it). This was probably my favorite part. They used lots of those square technic bricks in new and interesting ways. Plus, there was lots of symmetry (which I love) which makes things easy to build. As usual, the greebled pieces tend to slow you down, but the end result looks so great that its hard to fault them for it. Plus, if they didn't include them, it would probably just look like a gray piece of crap, so I played along. I did find it a little odd that these pieces didn't actually connect to the main chassis, but simply sat on top of it. This does, however, make it easy to remove them for fixes or to move it around (Just reach inside and grab it by the frame).
The only other UCS I've built so far is the Death Star, and the two are definately comparable in size and price. However, having now built and seen both, I have to agree with others when they say that the Star Destroyer just stomps the ever-loving crap out of the Death Star. I mean, I love the Death Star too, but when it comes down to sheer scale and awesomeness, the Star Destroyer just owns. After I was done, I really couldn't keep my eyes off of it. I kind of felt like a pervert who can't stop eyeing up the mannequins at Victoria's Secret. You'd think that something that was entirely gray would be boring to look at, but you'd be thinking wrong. Every time I look at it, I notice some subtle new detail that just makes me marvel at LEGO's enginuity (which I was doing the whole time I was building it).
At $200, this baby was a bargain. For those of you still on the fence about it: Get off the fence and go order it already!! At this price, you can't afford not to.
With common principles to the next level - Brrraaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnss........

I got this set this last summer. Was quite a fun build. It went together really well and the instructions were pretty clear (still had problems figuring out if that little piece was black or just dark grey...). Only irk I had was that on the top panels, they didn't seem to fit together as well as they should have. Great set for $200 though. It's now disassembled into a parts bin.
Oh, signatures are so over rated. =D

Miraculously mine is still put together. I took it down from the top shelf and dusted it off the other day and remembered how unstable the base on it is.
When I get time I'd like to tinker with it and see if I can't make the base more stable and the interior more usable. Other than that it is still one of my favorite sets. After all it is a gorram star destroyer.

I'm taking my time so I thought I'd post a couple pics. I hope they're not too big.
I had to store the main body in it's display location because it's so big and it took up too much of my already huge building surface.
Meanwhile I'm working on the upper decks
Days of fun.

When I built mine I started on a sunday, spent most of the day on it, then because of work I had only evenings after that so I spent 2-3 hours a night from Mon-wed/thur. I think in all, I probably had somewhere in the range of 17-20 hours to build it to completion.
Now here's the funny part. I took it apart recently to put it away and it must've taken me
just disassembling and sorting in order to store it away.

Do You Live in One of America's Most Stressed-Out Cities?
Las Vegas and Miami are known for their glitz and glamour, but all that fun apparently comes at a price. The residents in those cities have been deemed the most in need of some rest and relaxation.
Mattress company Beautyrest recently set out to find the top US cities where people are the most sleepless, stressed out, overworked, or otherwise less than fully charged.
To do so, the company studied scores of social media posts and Google searches, and then did an analysis to determine the exercise, diet, mental health and sleep habits of each city's residents. For example, New York City residents had the highest volume of stress-related tweets, Los Angeles denizens most often reported they "can't sleep," and Bostonians do the most anxiety-related Google searches.
Chris Freytag, a wellness expert for Beautyrest, said there are some simple steps we can take to restore balance and recharge ourselves, adding, "Getting better sleep is a great first step, especially since 73 percent of us are getting less sleep per night than we should, and 70 million Americans are affected by sleep problems."
10 cities most in need of some rest and relaxation:
1. Las Vegas
2. Miami
3. Austin, Texas
4. Atlanta
5. Durham, North Carolina
6. Houston
7. Chicago
8. Arlington, Texas
9. Pittsburgh
10. Columbus, Ohio

Big corporations spend mountains of cash and endless days in litigation for all sorts of things, but Coca-Cola has quite a unique problem on its hands this time.
Coke's latest issue is with the late Tony Marohn's family. According to court documents, Marohn claimed to have bought an old Palmer Union Oil Co. stock certificate at a garage sale in 2008 and traced it to Coca-Cola (through companies like Petrocarbon Chemicals and Taylor Wine), reports Tom Hals at Reuters.
Marohn began the fight for the shares, but he died in 2010. Now, his family says they're owed around 1.8 million shares of Coca-Cola.
How's that possible? The family say in the lawsuit that a person was issued the certificate and it was endorsed and assigned. However, the transferee's name was left blank, effectively making the certificate a bearer stock. Marohn wrote his name on it, and voila, the 1,625 shares of Palmer Union Oil are worth 1.8 million shares of Coke, they contend.
Coke thinks it's absolutely absurd. Here's part of its statement on the matter:
"The claim of Mr. Marohn's estate that it is entitled to millions of dollars in Coca-Cola stock - based on a canceled stock certificate for a long-defunct oil company purchased at an estate sale - is meritless and unfair to the Company's millions of legitimate shareholders."
Either way, now Coke has to go to court to deal with it. The case has been going since 2009.

Climate change: Focussing on how the vulnerable can cope
7 December 2007, Rome - Today, many such disasters are already being witnessed with a heavy toll in terms of social, economic, and environmental consequences. But in what way would the massive shifts in the climate system feel and reflect on a human scale? What do big climatic changes mean for the small farmers in the field, who directly rely on natural resources for their daily food, livelihood and well-being? How would such vulnerable individuals be differently affected by a changing climate, and are there ways to improve their ability to cope?
These are questions FAO is gearing up to confront and strive to resolve, by examining and integrating the gender and equity aspects of climate change, and exploring how men and women farmers in the developing countries are differently affected by, and unequally able to live with the recurrent effects of climate variability and change, almost every day. FAO experts aim to advise governments on how to incorporate gender and equity concerns into their plans for adapting to the worsening impact of climate variability and change. Within the shifting strategic priorities for the future it is FAO's responsibility today, more than ever, to put gender concerns right into the mainstream of all its work.
Not alike in vulnerability and ability
Underlying socio-economic conditions will in part shape how natural-resource dependent communities and individuals experience climate change. The ability to earn an income or obtain credit; access to and control over resources like land, water or seeds; and the education level are some of the socio-economic factors that determine a person's ability to cope with the impacts of climate variability and change on food security and livelihoods.
But men and women often have different socio-economic conditions, because gender-based roles and responsibilities affect their options for earning a living, their access and rights to land and credit, their education levels, and other rights and duties. This means that men and women are not alike in terms of their vulnerability and their ability to prepare for or recover from shocks to their livelihoods. Climate change – a major shock – would impact men and women in different ways as they may not have access to the necessary tools and support to ensure that their livelihoods are sustainable.
Strategies to prepare for escalating impacts of climate variability and change that do not take into account the cultural and socio-economic differences among men and women, will simply fall short of addressing the needs, or incorporating the knowledge, of all those who are likely to be damaged.
FAO-funded research model
Research considering the gender aspects of climate change is only just emerging. However, disaster management research shows that women are more vulnerable than men to weather-related disasters. Also, in the wake of disasters, it has been found that women and men farmers possess distinct knowledge which contributes to recovery, and when outside assistance explicitly targets women as well as men, it tends to be more successful.
In order to gather more concrete information on the gender component of climate change, FAO Senior Officer Yianna Lambrou recently travelled to Andhra Pradesh, India, to speak with farmers. She initiated an FAO-funded research project with local NGO's and research centres aiming to examine the gender dimension of farmers' experiences with climate variability. Ultimately the objective is to develop a model for gathering knowledge and documenting what farmers know about coping in the short term with climate variability and in the long term with change, in order to establish the types of support they will need for withstanding impacts on their livelihoods in the long run.
Explaining some initial findings from her trip to India, Ms Lambrou, said: "We recorded farmers' responses to drought, and observed a gender dimension, with men migrating and women taking on new responsibilities at home and in agricultural practices". She added: "We have also started to study outside interventions and how they match communities' needs, found examples of women attending government training and heard reports of training bolstering a community's food security".
The role women and their communities in the developing counties can play, has to be acknowledged and considered in formulating an international strategy to enable the most vulnerable in the field to deal best with the effects of climate variability and change, according to FAO, if we hope to alleviate its worst consequences. "Without addressing gender inequality in climate change adaptation policy, we simply risk making little progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals and, thereby risk making the world's most vulnerable people even more vulnerable", said Marcela Villarreal, Director of FAO's Gender, Equity and Rural Employment Division.
Next Steps
Addressing the gender component of climate change is gaining support from researchers and policymakers, as indicated by the first-time consideration of gender aspects in a portion of the 2007 assessment of climate change research, by the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
An eight-member official FAO delegation led by the Director-General, Jacques Diouf, is currently attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali (3-15 December 2007).

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) encompasses a broad range of products and services aimed at helping drivers drive more safely; while providing technologies that move vehicle development towards autonomous driving. Anritsu provides test and measurement equipment for ADAS services that make use of cellular, radar and DSRC.
Aiming to ensure safety and quick response times from emergency medical services in the event of a traffic accident, an emergency call (eCall) made automatically by the vehicle involved could save millions of lives. Anritsu can efficiently help meet the test and measurement requirements for eCall/ERA-GLONASS. Our solution, adopted and in use by Russian certification lab Polinom, offers an eCall tester based on a complete network simulator and a software tool simulating Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP).
Automotive radar technology is rapidly evolving as ADAS and Autonomous vehicle development drives demand for multiple, high resolution radars on each vehicle. Testing both radar capabilities and the interaction of multiple radars has never been more important. Anritsu provides equipment to help radar engineers validate performance of components throughout the R&D process.
The MD8475A helps in the development of in-car safety technologies such as eCall or ERA-GLONASS.
The Network Simulator can be easily integrated with an IVS module for simulating end-to-end emergency calls as per the mentioned standards.

The eCall Tester MX703330E software runs with the MD8475A to simulate the eCall service PSAP. The software emulates eCall communications (MSD communication to Voice call) between the IVS and the PSAP at a traffic accident.
In addition, adding the MSD ERA GLONASS Option MX703330E-031 supports ERA-GLONASS system tests of MSD data communications using SMS.
With the continued growth in 77 & 92 GHz automotive radar III-V development, it is expected that a major push for emerging SiGe development will continue. SiGe will offer lower costs and prices for the automotive industry and push car radar into mid to low price models.
VectorStar is used during the design phase where device characterization is used to analyze broadband performance of transistors and MMICs for radar systems and sub-systems.
The MS2840A has unrivaled performance of phase noise testing oscillator components for FMCW RADAR. The MS2840A also supports various measurements to test wireless devices and components, such as power measurement, frequency measurement, ACLR, spectrogram, and more.
The MS2830A uses a built-in vector signal generator to reproduce captured actual signals. These captured pulse signals and noise are analyzed using the flexible VSA function supporting Spectrum, Power vs. Time, and Frequency vs. Time displays. In addition, spectrum performance can be checked intuitively using the Spectrogram display showing frequency, time, and power on one screen to troubleshoot and develop car wireless equipment, such as RKE and TPMS, using FSK signals.
The characteristics of time-shifted signals, such as DSRC and IEEE 802.11p used for car-to-car and road-to-car communications, can be measured using analysis tools like MATLAB.
Positioning and localization technologies are now key in the connected car, and they must be tested to ensure compliance with international standards.
The MT8870A is the best option for testing at R&D and production stages of all wireless standards. This all-in-one box can perform sensitivity, BER and functional tests for navigation modules (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo).
The MG3710A can be used as an Arbitrary Waveform Generator, totally flexible for simulating GNSS signals (i.e. GPS, GLONASS), perfect for driver-aid systems development.
Its dual RF option makes it easy to implement complex test scenarios that would normally require multiple synchronized signal generators, such as:
The MS46522B is a series of 2-port Performance ShockLine Vector Network Analyzers. Testing applications include designing and manufacturing mobile network equipment, mobile devices, automotive cables, high-speed data interconnects and system integration components. Option 82 is the E-Band frequency option for the 2-port MS46522B. It brings banded mm-wave measurement capabilities to an economic cost level unprecedented in the marketplace. For applications requiring only E-band frequency coverage, the new 500B series 55-92 GHz mm-wave option is the best value on the market and enables mass market production of E-band components.
The MA24507A is an ultraportable, USB-powered mmWave power analyzer which enables simple, numeric frequency-based measurement of RF power from 9 kHz to 70 GHz and as low as -90 dBm. It enables frequency-based RF amplitude measurements in a USB-powered device slightly bigger than a smartphone and at a fraction of the price of a spectrum analyzer.
The MS2760A is the world's first handheld millimeter-wave spectrum analyzer to provide continuous coverage from 9 kHz up to 110 GHz, positioning it perfectly for growing millimeter-wave applications like 5G, 802.11ad, satellite communications, automotive radar, and more. The MS2760A is USB-powered and controlled from a Windows-based PC, laptop, or tablet, making it uniquely flexible for use in the lab, on the manufacturing floor, or in the field.

GORHAM, Maine – A 17-7 run would prove to be the difference maker as men's basketball surrendered their nine point lead midway through the second half to fall to the Huskies of the University of Southern Maine by the final of 64-58 Tuesday evening in Hill Gymnasium in a Little East Conference contest.
UMass Boston (8-7, 2-4 Little East) started off the second half of Tuesday's contest with a three point lead, which they quickly pushed to nine following a 6-0 run to start the final frame. Unfortunately that early momentum did not last, as the Huskies (10-6, 5-1 Little East) clawed their way back to regain control of the scoreboard with 9:38 left on a Connor Sullivan lay-up.
That basket from Sullivan would put the Huskies out in front 46-44, and they would never look back after that. USM used consistent shooting to distance themselves from the Beacons and eventually pushed their lead to as much as nine points (62-53).
Sullivan's second half push for the Huskies capped off a game-high 16 points for the junior guard. From the field, Sullivan was 8-for-14, and also collected a team-best six rebounds.
For the Beacons, junior center Rahshjeem Benson (Boston, Mass.) finished Tuesday's loss with 14 points and 15 rebounds to earn his sixth double-double of the year. Vinny DeLucia (Miami, Fla.) fresh off his solid performance in Saturday's near victory over Eastern Connecticut State University closed out the night with 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting from the floor, which included a pair of 3-pointers.
Off the bench, big-man Brian Clarke (Miramar, Fla.) finished with 11 rebounds and also dropped in eight points. Carl Joseph (Brockton, Mass.) also finished Tuesday's contest with eight points to go along with seven boards. As a team UMB shot 37.7% from the floor and a season-best 90% at the line. Southern Maine shot 41.2% on the night as they 28-for-68. The Beacons dominated the glass as they out-rebounded their conference rival 50-29.
Proving to be the ultimate downfall for the Beacons was their inability to possess the ball, as they were charged with 27 turnovers on the night, 12 of which came in the second half. The Huskies were charged with a mere 11 turnovers in the win, with only four of those coming in the final 20 minutes of play.
Men's Basketball returns to action on Saturday when they host Western Connecticut State University at 3 p.m.

For the first time in the 125 year history of the International Polar Year (IPY) research, the 2007 organizers of the fourth IPY decided to include the "human dimension" of polar science. The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded an unprecedented 20 million dollars in support of more than 30 research observational and data management projects in social science and humanities. This IPY project is groundbreaking "human dimension" research; the documentation of acutely endangered languages of the Arctic.
Language makes the communication of cultural identity.
Cultural beliefs, world views, value systems of the past, present and future are shared because these elements compose language. A verbal language relies on the present moment and context for the exchange of information.A documented language allows for the heritage exchange to take place regardless of the time and place in which it occurs.
The cultural identity of the language can be shared in perpetuity because the language documentation has been completed.
The purpose of the IPY: Documenting Alaskan and Neighboring Languages Project, NSF #0707327 is the documentation of endangered languages and extinct languages of the Arctic. The project results are comprehensive dictionaries, grammars and assorted publications/web resources for these languages.
IPY arctic research practical to a variety of stakeholders
- For the school children and teachers- language documentation makes possible the production of good curriculum products written in the heritage languages.
- For Alaskans wishing to acknowledge their identity-language documentation assists in the interpretation of cultural materials and the transcription and translation of audio recordings.
- For academic institutions- the instruction of Alaska's languages and the teaching of Alaska's past and present cultural heritage.
- For the state and local governments-language documentation provides the necessary information for the production of adequate bilingual materials absolutely required to ensure voter participation by the local citizens.
- For tribal governments and corporations- language documentation offers the basic information necessary for the development of language programs these entities provide to their tribal members and shareholders.
Linguists and social scientists from Alaska and around the world have spent a substantial portion of their lives working toward the goals of this project. The work is all fieldwork and/or consolidation and analysis of large masses of data collected over many years. All data is available through the Alaska Native Language Archive, University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Yes, the holidays are almost here, and anyone looking to buy a tablet will be faced with a dizzying array of options. File this one under first-world problems, but we're here to help.
Our guest on the GeekWire radio show this week is Andru Edwards of GearLive.com and the Ask Andru tech advice column here on GeekWire.
He gives us a great rundown of his advice and tips on the iPad mini vs. the regular iPad, the Kindle Fire HD and yes, even the Microsoft Surface, which I've been having my own experience with over the past few weeks.
My colleague John Cook serves as a proxy for many others out there as he weighs whether to buy an iPad mini for his family, and by the end of the show it seemed as if Andru had almost convinced John to do it, with his only reservation being the higher price tag ($329 compared with the $199, 7-inch Kindle Fire HD.)
We focus in particular on the screens of these devices, and what you're going to get in terms of size and display resolution.
But it's not just tablets: We also get Andru's thoughts on the new iPod touch and the Kindle Paperwhite, which is my personal favorite gadget this holiday season.
In the final segment of the show, we also talk about the upcoming Seattle Mind Camp 8 event, Dec. 15 and 16 at The Hub in Seattle. Andru has been organizing this event for years, and it's great to see it still going strong. Use the promotional code geekwire for a special discount for GeekWire readers and listeners.
App of the Week: SideCar ride-sharing service.

Iranian telegraph operator, first to propose earthquake early warning system
In 1909, an Iranian telegraph operator living in the remote desert town of Kerman noticed an unusual movement of the magnetic needle of his telegraph instrument. While other telegraph operators during the late 1800s and early 1900s noticed the phenomenon, the Iranian telegraph operator proposed an earthquake early warning system, as detailed in an article published today by the journal Seismological Research Letters (SRL).
Nineteenth century telegraph operators in New Zealand, Switzerland, Chile, the Caribbean and elsewhere noted the usefulness of electric telegraph for recording natural phenomena. But the Iranian telegraph operator and cashier, named Yusef (Joseph), took the next step, suggesting the concept of a local earthquake warning system in a Persian newspaper, The New Iran.
He became aware of anomaly in 1897 and put the knowledge to use in 1909, using the six seconds of warning to urge his fellow dwellers to evacuate the building.
"I am confident if a more sophisticated instrument is built," wrote Yusef, "a few minutes after the needle's anomalous move, the earthquake will be felt. And if the system is connected to a big bell (an alarm system), it can be heard by all the people, and their lives will be saved."
While J.D. Cooper, M.D. is credited with first proposing an early warning system in 1868, which he described in an article printed by The San Francisco Daily Bulletin, the Iranian telegraph operator living on the edge of desert likely had no access to American newspapers. Few newspapers existed at that time in Iran, when the literacy rate did not exceed five percent.
Manuel Berberian, who authored the SRL paper, called Yusef's attempt to transfer knowledge in the service of others "priceless." He noted that by the 100th anniversary of the printing of Yusef's article, earthquakes had claimed the lives of more than 164,000 Iranians, and no plans for an early warning system are in development.

Another ObamaCare Victim
One man's insurance cancellation is a cause for Schadenfreude.
(Best of the tube tonight: Catch us on "Lou Dobbs Tonight," 7 p.m. ET on Fox Business, with a repeat showing at 10 p.m.) He liked his health-insurance plan--or close enough: "It was there, and it did its job." He seems to have believed President Obama, who said--and said and said and said--that if you like your health insurance, you can keep it.

Q&A with Senior Tennis Player Vincent Nguyen
Related Links
The final month of fifth-year senior Vincent Nguyen's tenure at UC San Diego turned out to be about as good as it gets. The captain and singles starter on the Men's Tennis saw his team finish up its regular season undefeated (20-0), earn a trip to the NCAA Division II Championships in Florida and, despite suffering a loss in the round of 16, close out the campaign ranked 10th in the nation. A few weeks after the conclusion of his competitive career, Nguyen was not only named UCSD's Outstanding Male Senior Student-Athlete but was selected to receive a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. A three-year member and former chairman of the Triton Athletes' Council, Nguyen graduated earlier this month with a degree in biochemistry and cell biology, sporting a 3.81 cumulative GPA. He plans to start medical school in August at Temple University in Philadelphia. Amidst all of the hoopla that's come his way, Nguyen found time to talk about the recognition, his team and the UCSD student-athlete experience.
Q-UCSD's Outstanding Male Student-Athlete of the Year for 2010-11. How did it feel when you heard your name called at the 2011 Athletics Recognition Dinner?
NGUYEN-I definitely felt some nervousness building up as I slowly realized that I was about to be called up based on the activities that were being listed off. When I was finally called to the podium, I was in a bit of shock in front of all the lights and people. It's nice to be able to represent my team with the award, because we had an unbelievable year and I love the guys-they're like my brothers.
Q-Talk a little about your career arc as a student-athlete at UCSD-what do you think allowed you to reach that pinnacle?
NGUYEN-I barely
made the team as a freshman walk-on, so being able to start and contribute to
the team for the next four years has been a real ride. I wouldn't have reached
my potential without the intense instruction and mentoring from Coach (Eric)
Steidlmayer. He really cares for his players and only wants to help us improve.
My older teammates also served as great role models and taught me how to find a balance between school, socializing, and sport. I learned to carry the discipline and work ethic developed on court to other parts of my life, which surely helped me reach my academic and extracurricular goals.
Q-Before you stepped on the tennis court for the first time this year, did you have any idea that your team would eventually finish the regular season 20-0?
NGUYEN-Playing through the season without losing a match literally felt like I was living a dream from February to May. I knew we were working very hard on our fitness and had competed against a variety of opponents in the fall season, so I was confident we were going to do well. Since we didn't graduate anyone from the roster from last season's roster, we were only looking up from our 12-11 record. Still, it was pretty surreal to win so many close matches this year-a bunch of 5-4 and 6-3 matches where it came down to one guy, sometimes me, and we were able to stay perfect.
Q-There were obviously a lot of special moments throughout the year. What moment stands out as the most meaningful to you?
NGUYEN-I think many guys on the team would agree that beating Barry University 5-4, ranked No. 2 at the time and defending NCAA runner-ups, right before finals week in winter quarter was the most epic moment of the year. We came out firing with nothing to lose and went up 2-1 after doubles. There was a vibe on the courts that I think we all felt-each guy on our roster was playing really well. Erik (Elliott) beat the No. 1-ranked player in the country in straight sets, and literally seconds later I clinched the match at No. 4 singles. We have it all on tape and it's something I'm sure we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.
Q-In the final ITA Division II national poll, UCSD was ranked No. 10, its highest ranking since 2007. Do you believe that represents what you and the team accomplished this year?
NGUYEN-I personally don't like to scrutinize rankings, but I think our No.10 ranking is a fair representation of this season's success. We beat all the teams we were supposed to beat that were ranked below us, and we also had nice wins over top schools like Barry. I think it's nice for the guys to carry that ranking over to next year, to really train hard this summer and exceed expectations like we did this year.
Q-This was not a team that was necessarily expected to be this good at the start of the season. Why do you think it was able to play above expectations and was there a particular point during the season when you started thinking, "hey, we might be pretty good"?
NGUYEN-We had a decent season last year, and since we didn't graduate anyone, we all figured that we would be at least decent this year. After the fall season, I really had no extraordinary expectations for the regular season. We were training hard, but nothing really out of the ordinary before winter break. When we returned from the holidays, Coach started running us into the ground right away. I really attribute our success this season to the consistent and intense track work we put in over the course of the season. After we beat Barry, Hawaii Pacific and Lafayette the week before finals in winter quarter, I was riding a high and was confident telling anyone that we were pretty good.
Q-The team reached the NCAA Championships but bowed out in the round of 16. Was that a bittersweet ending to the season and what was the message Coach Eric Steidlmayer imparted after that final match?
NGUYEN-The loss was definitely bittersweet since we came into the Championships with such confidence-but since the match ended pretty quickly, it wasn't too excruciating of a loss. Coach kept the message short and sweet-we were beaten by a better team, and we should look to train even harder over the summer to prepare for next season.
Q-Speaking of Coach Steidlmayer, how much influence do you feel he had on your collegiate success and what are his primary attributes as a coach?
NGUYEN-Coach has had an immense influence on my success both on and off the court. He isn't afraid to tell you "how it is," which I really respect because he only wants his players to improve. I remember one of his quotes I heard early on in my career: "Don't make excuses, find solutions." His no-nonsense, hard-working attitude has made a huge impact on my personal growth, and I think all the guys on the team would agree.
Q-You focused on
singles as a senior but have also played doubles throughout your career. What
do you like about each and which do you prefer?
NGUYEN-I am definitely a singles player at heart. I love the individual nature of tennis and have found that I perform better alone. When things go right, I reap the benefits, but when they go wrong, I can only blame myself. I like the cut-and-dry nature of singles and think it's had a huge impact on my personality.
Still, I secretly love doubles. The game is so much faster-paced and it's an interesting challenge to work with a teammate to beat a mutual opponent. I never developed the doubles skills in my junior career to be a natural starter in doubles, but I still loved every chance I got to play, especially with my former roommate Brandon Stevenson.
Q-Your teammate, Austin West, said that Erik Elliott is the toughest player on your team to compete against. Do you agree? What other teammates would be difficult match-ups for you and why?
personally hate playing Erik because he is especially good at capitalizing on
my weaknesses. I agree with Austin that he's the toughest on the team-he is playing
No. 1 for a reason. He takes the ball so early and has such great ball-striking
skills that you're always playing defense against him. Normally, I don't get
fazed playing defense but it's tough to keep it up when you only see balls
flying past you.
Austin and Max Jiganti are two tough guys I definitely get fired up about playing because they both have great court sense and are strategically solid. They both also compete like crazy, so I know I'm in for a dogfight every time.
Q-West also said that you were the most competitive player on the team. How does that make you feel? You also have a history of consistently playing the longest matches. Why does that happen so often and do you feel you have an edge when a match goes longer?
NGUYEN-That is interesting-I think Austin is the most competitive J It's a nice compliment, but I think everyone on the team competes extremely hard and that our universal competitiveness had a ton to do with our success this season. I unfortunately make everyone wait past dusk to watch me play. I just like making people wait. In all seriousness, I tend to play long points and don't mind taking my time to recover between points. The longer the match goes, the more confident I get. I like playing under pressure and always feel fitter than the other guy.
Q-Growing up, or even now, do you have a favorite professional tennis player? If you could take specific skills from individual players, what are some that, in your opinion, would produce a great hybrid?
NGUYEN-My favorite player growing up was definitely Rafael Nadal. I love his work ethic, intensity, and personality both on and off the court. He can be a real goof but is 110% focused on improving his game and doing his best all the time. I would take Ivo Karlovic's (7-foot monster) serve, Roger Federer's silky yet potent forehand, Novak Djokovic's rock solid backhand, and John McEnroe's volleys. I would also steal Federer's footwork-he is always on balance!
Q-You're a San Jose native with five years in San Diego on your resume. What is the biggest difference between the two regions? What do you like most about San Diego?
NGUYEN-I really love San Jose. The area holds a special place in my heart since I was born and raised there. My parents unfortunately decided to move a bit further northeast to Dublin, but I still call San Jose home. Silicon Valley in general is a bit slower paced than San Diego. People don't drive as crazily up north. People in SoCal tend to be a bit friendlier and happier at first glance. Maybe it has to do with the perfect weather we are blessed with.
Q-You've been accepted and are planning to attend medical school at Temple University in the fall. Was this the objective from the time you entered UCSD? What are your career aspirations?
NGUYEN-I definitely didn't see myself going to medical school when I started at UCSD. I just wanted to make the tennis team and see how I'd fit into the college atmosphere. With more exposure to the health field, I found that I enjoyed and was pretty good at talking with patients. I've been watching a lot of neurosurgery recently, and it's hard not to be inspired. Still, I'm going to see how I feel during third and fourth-year rotations for long term career plans.
Q-You were recently awarded at prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, one of three UCSD student-athletes to receive that honor in 2010-11. How did it feel to cap off your collegiate career being recognized like that on a national level?NGUYEN-I couldn't feel more honored to have been selected for such a prestigious award. The scholarship money definitely helps a bunch with the increasing costs of medical education. It's a privilege to be able to represent my team and university on a national scale with the award. It's especially cool for UCSD to have three athletes (Jessica Ferguson, Kelly Fogarty & Nguyen) this year be selected for the award. I couldn't have asked for anything more personally gratifying than being selected for that award to finish off my career. To see the blur of hard work and fun culminate in such a special award like this is remarkable.

i've started sewing the zigs and the zags! weeee! i was so happy to finally have some time to work on my zig zag quilt at my modern sewing group on sunday. what i wasn't happy to find out was that it was going to take me soooooo long to trim the corners of my hst's. wowsa! massively time consuming, or at least it was for me...lol.
these are the parts i don't enjoy about quilting but then you all know how crappy i am with a rotary cutter and that cutting is my least favorite part of any craft..lol. i literally got only 3 rows all stitched up at the group and attached the 4th row this morning. it took me way longer than i thought.
i LOVE the sewing of the quilt though. i really enjoy sitting down at the machine with a big stack of squares and sewing them all together. it's methodical, rewarding and so much fun. i'm addicted. i just don't like doing the grunt work that leads up to it - i need the fairy craft mother to come in and do all my cutting for me. the step that i'm most excited about is the quilting. i'm dying to put that quilt sandwich together and give er'!!!
i'm planning, for the moment, on doing 1/2" lines following the zig zags on either side of the seam. i've seen a few done like this online and love the look that it created on the front and back of the quilt. so purdy. one thing i am pondering right now is the color to do that and also if i should add a border to the quilt. now that my rows are stitched up i realized that the quilt may be too small for my liking. my only worry is that the border would detract from the style of the zig zags. what do you guys think? would you add a border? what color would you quilt in? or leave it be? my backing fabric has a print that i think would not look good on the front as well. wouldn't like it.
doesn't it look like a stained glass window in the sunlight? sorry....couldn't resist the pic....caught my eye while and i thought it was cool.
now don't judge me on my ironing. the rows are not pressed perfectly yet. i got a tad lazy at the very end and haven't pressed them all perfectly after i sewed the rows together so everything is slightly poofy still. i did good with my ironing for everything else. it was nice being able to work on this in a big space with room to move and lots of equipment. i just don't seem to work on my quilts at home due to lack of space etc. it makes it even more time consuming. i just don't know where i would fit myself in my condo while working on it.
so i've got 6 rows left to do and in those six rows i still have to trim the hst squares :( but then i get to sew! yippee! and that part goes fast and then i'll have a quilt top! yeehaw!!!! so excited! and you know what comes after this quilt is done? one for me!!! yay!!! this one is for my daughter but momma's gotta have a quilt for herself too right? i'm dying to get mine started. it's been waiting for almost 2 years now. so the faster i get this one done the faster i get to work on a big one for momma.
