On April 25, 2017 the Praxis Program pinned its newest group of GEM Fellows, who now number 43, in four cohorts since 2013. Nearly 60 faculty and administrators, across many schools and disciplines, have participated in the program. They have engaged in a unique opportunity for learning and reflection to deepen their understanding of the meaning of Seton Hall's mission, as well as to enhance their life and work here.
The Praxis Program of the Advanced Seminar on Mission is an advanced faculty development program designed to foster personal, professional, organizational and institutional development for faculty and administrators who are graduates of two previous mission seminars, the University Seminar on Mission and the Advanced Seminar on Mission. It was designed to answer the participants' question: how do I apply the learnings of the Advanced Seminar to my disciplines/professions in light of Seton Hall's mission?
Its purpose is to engage faculty and administrators in a process of peer mentoring and curricular/co-curricular support designed to apply the mission of the University to their respective disciplines and departments, through a method which connects the disciplines to each other, to an integrated understanding of knowledge, and to the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. That method is the Generalized Empirical Method (GEM) of Bernard Lonergan.
As one GEM Fellow noted: "Education is a transformative process and GEM is a wonderful method to follow in fostering students to operate on a much higher cognitive, moral, and spiritual level." Another remarked: "The on-going dialogue in the Praxis community of GEM Fellows is an important one in determining the evolution of the mission and general purpose of a Seton Hall education."
Based on assessments since 2014, the program conclusions indicate advancements in faculty development at the University: 1) There was a need at Seton Hall for community, and community was formed through this program. Faculty and administrators felt isolated in their silos and were not sure where they fit within the mission or how to express the mission in their work. 2) There was a need to provide a method to analyze the mission and to provide a process and a mechanism to affect faculty, and their teaching, as well as to incorporate the mission into their professional lives. 3) Nearly all participants' pedagogy was positively affected, resulting in developments in many areas.
The Praxis Program will continue in fall 2017 for its fifth academic year, and will welcome Cohort 5 in spring 2018. Please see the website for further information, click here »

Energy consumption in wireless sensor networks

Energy consumption in wireless sensor networks
|Josef.Noll, Sarfraz.Alam
|Due date
|Problem description:
| Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a promising technology and due to its multitude applications such as remote monitoring, personal medical monitoring and home automation, it has become one of the most interesting tasks in the recent years.
A WSN consists of many sensor nodes which sense physical phenomena or collect data from an environment. Depending on a predefined application of a network, sensor nodes can be located in fixed places or distributed randomly over a large geographical area. Their communication with each other occurs wireless and they share a channel for signal transmission. Some parameters such as position, distance, power consumption for each node and communication technology between sensor nodes have inevitable impact over the network's performance. In spite of a tremendous development, there are still limitations that WSNs suffer. Some challenges like designing a low power network, data secu- rity and architecture of network have taken the most attention of researchers in the last years. The energy consumption is one of the most common problems in the wireless sensor network that does not appear in more traditional wired sensor network. Each sensor node is battery operated and it makes a wireless sensor network highly depended on each node battery. It is very important to predict the lifetime of a wireless sensor network before network installation.
Our work will be based on analysis of a communication protocol (ZigBee) when the network forms Star and Mesh topologies. The monitor of greenhouse condition is the main concept in our work. The temperature will be measured with sensor nodes, and the sensed data will sent to a remote center. We are looking for the best and most suitable topology in term of low power consumption for this scenario.

I know, you're asking,"WHAT?"
I'm really not a romantic. Never have been. But I love writing and reading romance. Maybe it's my lack of romance that attracts me to it. The sweet love stories, the torrid, stormy romances, the historical highlander-invades-and-kidnaps tales - I love them! Don't ask me to recite a gushy romantic comment. I don't have any in my vocabulary. If they are said to me I have to hide the eye-rolling terse comment that tries to escape my thoughts. I know, its sad.
So, now you're wondering, "How does she write romance then?" Well, I watch everyday life. I listen to other people. I read a lot! Yes, my friends can vouch for me - I steal their lines, their stories, their comments. I have many romantic friends who tell me their tales, in confidence of course, and, yes, I use their love, pain and mushy stories. No one is safe!
I can't help it! They are my muse. Oh, I have the voice in my head that comes up with a bit of gooeyness every now and then, but my friends are my real motivation. I enjoy reading and, especially, writing romance. The ideas flow but to add that special something - the perfect quote, a great setting, that special description of the perfect kiss - my friends are great contributors.
So, as you read my blogs and, hopefully someday, my books, you'll know I had a ton of help in writing them. Oh, I could never disclose who gave me that perfect line or that warm and fuzzy date. That would be just wrong on so many levels. Also, that friend would stop sharing their feelings with me. Just enjoy the fact that you know the story is a collaboration of great friendships coming together to share their deepest secrets.

So Much More...
It stared back in June....when I started searching for someone to design a logo for our team. I decided to go with Kelly at Perilight Graphics. I just could not have been more pleased. She focused the logo on Lovebug rather then the Walk or Diabetes. The logo just meant that much more to me knowing that there was thought and purpose behind it.
Then in August I received on email from a high school classmate that really touched my heart. She thanked me for the education I had given her (and others) over the past few months about how Type 1 affects families and not just the diabetic affected by the disease. (you mean people are actually reading what I'm writing about?) That really touched my heart to know that I am doing something right!
So many stories like my husband has been selling sneakers at work for the past month. He sold over $40 in sneakers! I amazes me that people I have never met and have never met Audrey would donate to help make her life better.
I reconnected with a friend earlier this year whom I hadn't talked to in a few years. It was her idea to throw together a garage sale fundraiser for the JDRF just two weeks before Walk Day. We got donations and put it together in about a week. (with her doing most of the work!) We ended up raising $250! I thought that for putting it together that quickly the amount was incredible! My sister's sister-in-laws even stopped by the sale that day and donated! (yes, it was out of their way!) Did I also mention how Kristina's daughters and two of their friends kept an eye on my girls for me? She even explained what Diabetes is to the girls along with her pump and Dexie. Kristina is such an amazing friend!
My niece tried selling sneakers in her dorms but it didn't work out. There was too much red-tape. (boo) But she still managed to get some donations from friends! Then her mom, my sister-in-law raised $500 dollars in ONE day!!! That is AMAZING!!! (and also much better then I did in any single day!)
Then there is the story about our t-shirts. When it was time to decide on a screen printer for our shirts, I decided to go with a recommendation that a friend had given me. We decided to use Screen Ideas, a local screen printer, even though it wasn't the best deal. Well after the t-shirts were completed he called me and asked me what he had quoted me for the shirts. I told him but then shortly after getting off the phone I looked at a couple other emails and realized I had given him the price another screen printer had given me. (which was cheaper then then one he had given me, but I had to pay shipping) I sent him an email and let him know I had mixed up the quotes and to apologize. When I received the invoice for the t-shirts the price the other screen printer had given me was on the invoice. I called him and he told me he gave me that price because he really appreciated my business and my honesty. WOW AWESOME! :) But that isn't even the best part!!
When I went to pick up the t-shirts I got the meet the guy who actually printed them. Guess what?? He is a Type 1 diabetic!! He has had it since he was 8 years old and is now 22 and wears an insulin pump. I just couldn't believe it. It really touched my heart knowing that someone else who grew up with the disease printed Lovebug's shirts.
Then last but not least in way of blessings is the last week. Last Saturday we were still $1400 dollars away from our team goal of raising $2000. I was disappointed but kept looking on the bright side that we had tripled out team size from 20 walkers to 57 walkers in just one year! Well I was talking about that with my husband on the way home from his company picnic. He told me you never know....yeah, okay, I'll admit it, he was right again. Just a few minutes later when we got home there was a check in our mail box for $200.
Then this week donations came flooding in. Most of them in the past couple days. We had some many donations the night before and the day of the walk that I lost track of how much money we raised!! I know we exceeded our goal of $2000 but I just don't know by how much.
Do I think all of this is coincidence? Not at all! Something I have been learning a lot the past year is to put my trust God, even in the little day to day things. This year He has shown me over and over that his hand has been in this every step of the way. Everything I shared above is a blessing directly from him. I couldn't have done any of it without Him. Even when I had set backs and questioned whether or not I was doing the right thing, He has been guiding me, giving me little glimpses of Himself.
The support of my family, friends and strangers is just simply amazing to me. So hard to put into words just what it means, it brings tears to my eyes when I think about it.

What a wonderful post on so many levels. Love that you exceeded your goal...the t-shirt company AND the type 1 man was such a great perk to your walk planning.
It sounds like so many people were involved in fundraising and participating. That is what it is all about!
Way to go!

Audi RS7 vs Nissan GT-R vs Merc E63 S: full drag race stats
You've seen the film, now geek out on some acceleration numbers and 1/4 mile times
We'd hoped for an upset when we decided to pit the Mercedes E63 S and Audi RS7 against the Nissan GT-R. Maybe, we thought, a supersaloon will finally have the measure of the Nissan GT-R. If you've watched the film already, you'll know it was a close run thing, but this time round the GT-R managed to hold its head high (you might remember it was a different story when we pitched it against the Audi R8 V10 Plus, McLaren 570S and Porsche 911 Turbo S).
In essence there are a lot of commonalities between these cars. All are 4WD, feature twin turbos and heavy kerbweights. If we'd bothered to work out the stats before we would probably have predicted the right result. Although we think of the Nissan as a weighty coupe, at 1,752kg, it's still the best part of 200kg lighter than the 1,955kg Mercedes and 1,930kg Audi. So it's 321bhp/tonne power-to-weight ratio gives it the edge over the Merc (308bhp/tonne) and Audi (309bhp/tonne).
Look at the torque figures and it's a different story, the German V8s developing far more twist. It's one of the reasons that at higher speeds both E63 and RS7 were starting to claw back time. Look at the 100-120mph interval: The GT-R did that in 3.99secs, the Audi in 3.35, the Merc in 3.46. Each came out of the quarter mile faster than the Nissan, too. If the race had been half a mile long, I suspect we might have been looking at a different result…
What's more, I reckon if the Audi had a faster twin clutch gearbox, rather than an eight speed auto, it would have been right back in the mix, probably ahead of the new E63 S, which would have been a turn up for the books. The auto didn't seem to hold it back when it went off the line either, did it? As you can tell from my reaction in the Merc, I was staggered how quickly the Audi got away. Neither of the other two were exactly laggardly and it was then the GT-R made its move.
With less weight to overcome it blasted from 30-100mph in 5.7secs, a couple of tenths ahead of the E63 S and not far off half a second faster than the RS7. From that point, although the others came back as their torque came into full effect against the aerodynamic drag, the race was already won.

Here is a view of the Living Room looking towards the kitchen--you can see the bar top up and the pantry without the door. This was a couple of weeks ago. We have since put the pantry door up and installed some of the baseboards around the room. We are still working hard to get things done.
In the meantime---
Here is the rug I'm working on for the kitchen floor in front of my sink. It has all the colors I wanted to include in my decorating! What do you think?

I recently lost my case management job due to lack of funding. I was sad for a while, laying around in my PJ's, feeling scared and sorry for myself. After the initial shock wore off, I decided to get dressed and get on with things.
First, I went to the mall to buy more MAC red lipstick to fuel my addiction. Then, I visited my favorite hairstylist, telling him "Give me a new look 'cause I'm in need of a makeover." He said, "Yes! Let's do this!" He colored my hair Elizabeth Taylor-black and chopped most of it off. It was the change I needed.
Losing my job has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Lots more time to stitch, cook, pray, be with my husband and take long walks with my dog. I know the right job will come along when the time is right.
While temporarily escaping my reality at the salon, I spied Lauren Conrad's Beverly Hills penthouse apartment, done in a shabby-chic-esque style. This lively, feminine space is featured in the October issue of InStyle. To see more of her chic pad click here. What I like most about it is her fresh approach to color. The neutrals give the eyes a break. Black grounds things. It's sophisticated yet warm.
I tend to decorate with the same approach, using neutrals with pops of color and black accents, albeit on a budget. I like combining French and vintage pieces with modern touches. I purchased the modern chandelier (below) online, putting it together myself. My favorite painting of Camille Monet hangs on the wall. She's wearing an embroidered kimono. Did you know she was an expert embroiderer? I read that Claude admired her embroidery very much.
So that's it for now...of course I'm working on a new French stitching project too! As we all know, cross-stitching soothes the soul.
My favorite painting over a vintage table with a modern chandelier.
This is a simple cross-stitched monogram I did a few years ago. The pattern is featured in a book called ABC aux Ancolies from a French company called Rouge du Rhin. Click here for their wonderful website. It's in French and English. They ship their beautiful patterns to the USA. The monogram is stitched with white silk floss on natural linen, creating a peaceful/neutral look. To give it some pizazz, I added a few pearl beads in the center of the flower.

Billy Donovan, Florida: "I love him. I've always loved him. I've got a tremendous amount of respect for him because I think just what he's been through. I think he started off with Billy Gillispie there as a young player, and then John (Calipari) came in, and then (Miller's) playing with (John) Wall and (Eric) Bledsoe and (DeMarcus) Cousins and those guys, and then they basically lose a lot of guys to the NBA, and then last year, comes in a new crop of guys.
"I just think he's a 'steady Eddie.' I think he's an incredible 'core glue guy' that probably in a lot of ways is overshadowed by maybe (Michael Kidd-)Gilchrist or (Anthony) Davis or (Marquis) Teague.
"But (Miller) is a really, I think, a guy that presents a lot of problems because, one, he's highly intelligent. He plays a lot of different positions. He's a mismatch when you play him at the three. He's a mismatch at the four. He can even play the two.
"He's battle-tested, he's been through it. He's got incredible leadership qualities ... He just seems like he always embraces the new faces that come in there. ... I always just see him doing whatever he has to do to help his team win."
Kevin Stallings, Vanderbilt: "(Miller's) a good player. I really like him. I like how he plays, I like how he acts. Look, I don't coach him, so I'm not the authority on it, but I admire him as a player.
"He makes big shots. He's a big shot maker and a really good player for them. He has really, in my opinion, appears to have sacrificed himself for the benefit of their team, and he is a big reason why they are (twenty-eight) and one."
Rick Stansbury, Mississippi State: "Darius Miller is the fiber that holds that whole team together. He's the key to them.
"He's come off the bench, been a complementary player and learned to accept that (role) if he is going to play. He's played enough minutes that he gets to play a lot, starter minutes most nights. He's a high-character kid, and Cal has done a great job getting him to buy into that role. He's a very valuable piece for them.
"That game got on the line at Vanderbilt, and who made shots for them? Miller jumped up and made them. The game got on the line tonight; who jumped up and made shots? Miller.
"And he's got one thing no one else on that team has — experience. He's a fourth-year senior, he's been through a lot of wars. He's a terrific player for them. ... To me, he's their most valuable player."

Roy Hodgson insists that Jack Wilshere can carry the weight of a nation on his young shoulders.
And England boss Hodgson has also agreed with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger that 21-year-old Wilshere has "all the qualities" to be a future captain for club and country.
Wilshere has been a revelation for Arsenal since returning from long-term injury and Hodgson is looking forward to the midfielder having a similar impact for England.
After making a 28-minute substitute appearance in England's last game against Sweden, Wilshere is now ready to start against Brazil at Wembley on Wednesday night.
"Expectation is a testament to the fact Wilshere is just a very good football player," said Hodgson. "If you are a very good player, expectations are high.
"I watch him play and think, 'This is a very good footballer – if this man can produce this level of football, it's a great boon'.
"Wilshere has got the personality, the character and the quality to accept responsibility, to accept the pressure. I foresee a fantastic England career for him.
"From what I've seen on the field and the little time I have spent with Jack, I'm really looking forward to working with him and in years to come I'm pretty certain he does have the wherewithal to match expectations."
Asked if Wilshere can be a future England captain, Hodgson added: "I would agree with Arsene Wenger and say Jack has got the qualities, there's no doubt about that."
Hodgson watched Wilshere go head-to-head with England captain Steven Gerrard in Arsenal's clash against Liverpool last week and is now looking forward to pairing the duo together in the centre of midfield.
"There is no reason why Wilshere and Gerrard can't work," said Hodgson. "I believe when you have got two players of great ability and who understand the game, hopefully, you should be able to use them together.
"It was excellent to see Jack and Steven go head-to-head. You can't force relationships, but their performances were what you would want to see from two top players. They were respectful, there was not one foul.
"I was talking to somebody about the famous Pele-Bobby Moore picture. It's interesting how often that happens, that at the end of the game the two top players have got that mutual respect. It was like that with Steven and Jack.
"It will be nice if Jack can take things from the likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney. People who have had to accept a major burden of expectation and pressure – and who have still been able
to perform.
"Frank Lampard is to Chelsea what Gerrard is to Liverpool, what Wilshere could become for Arsenal and what Michael Carrick is to Manchester United," added Hodgson, who confirmed that Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole will definitely play some part against Brazil, and win his 100th England cap.
Meanwhile, Theo Walcott wants to become the No.1 striker for Arsenal AND England.

Issued (00 UTC) 8am PhT 121715
Like our FACEBOOK PAGE for the latest updates on this storm!
Melor (Bagyong Nona) is now weakening significantly over the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) and is now down to minimal Tropical Storm-strength. The storm center was last located approximately 140km southwest of Manila. Maximum sustained winds are at 65kph with gusts of up to 85kph. TS Melor is currently moving southwestward at 10kph.
As of 5am this morning, PAGASA has raised Public Storm Warning Signal #1 for Pangasinan and Zambales. All other Signal Warnings have now been lifted by the agency.
IR Image from NRLMRY
Latest satellite image shows Melor and the newly-developed Tropical Depression 29W (Bagyong Onyok). Melor is now struggling to maintain its structure as unfavorable conditions are now prevailing across the West Philippine Sea. However, we are still seeing strong convection affecting parts of Central and Northern Luzon. We expect these rain showers to continue throughout the day today.
Tropical Storm Melor will continue weakening today, eventually becoming a Depression later this afternoon. It will also continue to move southwestward away from the Philippines. Rains across Luzon should gradually taper off in the next 12 to 24 hours.
With the departure of Melor, we now have to monitor the incoming Tropical Depression Onyok. Thankfully, this system is not forecast to intensify as much as Melor did. However, it is still forecast to bring widespread rains across parts of Visayas and Mindanao in the coming days.

A is for Autism
A is for Autism
I am not a psychologist or behavioural specialist or a Psychiatrist. So, I am not going to talk about the triad of impairments or assessment scales etc etc.
What I can tell you is that Autism is a sensory disability in which everything the person sees, hears, feels, tastes and smells is distorted.
They may see every strand of hair on your head individually with more detail than a Dandruff commercial, hence the need to push your hair off your face.
They may taste food in individual components that make the slightest change to the recipe seem like an entirely different food.
Touch can be too light to feel or too intense to bear, or both!
And sound most unfortunately can be very distorted, either because they might hear everything as white noise and cannot tune in to what's important, ie. your voice, or because they only hear the higher sounds or the lower sounds that are in their environment.
There are a myriad of variations on these "Unders and Overs" and no two children are alike. (Believe me I have a sample of two!)
So, imagine if you like, that having autism is a bit like being in a very busy foreign capital city where you don't speak the language and everyone is too busy to give you directions.
You can't read the street signs and you cannot understand what people are saying to you, or even pick up on any kind of pattern in the words they are using, as everyone talks too fast. The traffic is loud, it is really hot and you want a drink; but you don't know how to ask for it and nobody can understand you.
Eventually you are going to recognise which shops are likely to have drinks for sale, but you will probably going to feel more comfortable going into a place where you can get it yourself.
That's how someone with Autism can feel.
That is why they do not learn to imitate speech and ask for things, but instead lead you to what they want or build complex towers of chairs and climb up to get the things they need, rather than just ask for them.
That is why they often learn to read and count and do puzzles, and use computers; because those things have a recognisable and consistent order; before they learn to call you Mammy. .
When a child with autism looks at you out of the crib, they are being bombarded by such a range of sights, sounds and sensations that they may not notice your reactions the first time they say something that could be a word.
A typically developing child will react to your praise as they chance on that sound, and do it again. Mama! Dada! MORE!
The autistic child might be distracted by the light through the curtains, or that "pins and needles" sensation they get every time you touch them or any one of a number of sensory over and under loads that can delay learning to imitate and communicate.
It doesn't mean that they are any less intelligent. It just means they need a lot more support. Break down the steps to teaching to suit their needs. Use their interests to motivate and engage and pretty soon they can start to catch up, to overcome the developmental delay.
And then their potential is unlimited.

We have been spending so much time looking at new houses lately that we have been neglecting our duty to see movies in the theater! Now that it is summer time, the big blockbusters are starting to release.
Last weekend we saw Divergent. I completely forgot to write a review for it. This movie has been out for a while and is on it's way out of theaters. If you haven't seen it yet, you might have to wait for it to come to Blu-Ray now. I'm sorry!
Divergent was a very good movie. I thought they did the book justice. Before going in to this movie, I did not think Shailene Woodley would make a good Tris. I didn't picture her like that at all, and I'm not a fan of the actress. But she actually pulled it off fairly well. I loved Theo James as Four. He was perfect for the part and I think he played him really well.
I thought they did an amazing job setting up the relationship between Tris and Four. It didn't feel forced. It felt like that spent enough time around each other getting to know each other, that when they finally realized they liked each other, it wasn't forced. This is usually lacking in book movies. Heck, lately, it even seems lacking in the books themselves. I think they did a great job on it.
However, with that said, I feel like some of the other relationships were glossed over. For instance, you didn't really see Tris's relationship with Christina form. They talked a little and then were friends. Several of the other initiates were introduced, but their relationships being transfers weren't really explored. A big thing that I think should have had more emphasis was the fact that Christina started dating Will. This is a huge plot point that plays a big part in tensions in the next installment. If you paid really close attention, you would have guessed they were dating, but there was not much emphasis on it. Nor was the fact that Tris was actually friends with Will, which is important at the end of the story. I also thought the scenes with Al went by a little fast – so I felt like since I read the book, I knew what had happened, but I felt like someone who hadn't read the book might not get the effect that should have happened.
The action scenes were great in the movie. Even the scenery was really good. Veronica Roth must have done a very good job describing her world, because seeing it on screen was almost exactly what I pictured.
Though I will admit: it was hard to watch this movie knowing how the series ends. While I will still go see subsequent movies, I will go see them when they are cheap, because I absolutely hated the ending to the series that comes with Allegiant. However, Divergent was still a very good book, especially for a middle book. I will just choose to give a different ending to Allegiant. One that Veronica Roth should have given it, instead of the crappy ending she choose.
But reviewing this movie, it is definitely worth seeing, even if you haven't read the books. And it just might inspire you to read them (just give it a different ending!)

Last month, during Jen's and my visit to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico, we ate at the highly rated Angelina's Latin Kitchen. All around us were gringos, almost only gringos, the only ones able to afford the food. A lumpy and unlovely lot we were, we over-60s, feeding our faces, drowning our livers. And then a 15-16 year old girl, dragging her toddler, comes among us selling roses. No one buys. Everybody too busy biting, imbibing. The girl and her kid shuffle out.
Oh my countrymen, my lumpy countrymen, if I were (more) righteous I'd say that before the girl spread her sheets, she should have opened a spreadsheet and planned her future. But I am mad at our privilege, while enjoying it, and mad at the Mexican government, ruled by elites, for not doing anything to help its people, especially with education. Sure, it's warm down there, and everybody's outside, swarming, like flies, in the informal economy, trying to figure out, on the spur of the moment, what it's all about and how to live another day hand to mouth.
My gringo friend, who with his wife owns a B &B in Mazatlan, says that this is the way the Mexicans like it. We can't look at things totally through our own over-sympathetic, or socialist, lenses, I acknowledge. Or through rose-colored lenses, either. "These people," as my friend put it, like to be outdoors, like not to be tied to a desk, like to do what their forbears have done for generations before them. So let them wander at 10 pm or midnight, brats in tow, among the indifferent and guzzling gringos, no skin off our behinds.
The Mexicans merely do what their family has done, my friend says, for a long time. It's not that the government doesn't support them. It's that they don't want to be in school. It's that they have the short-term, not long-term, view of things. (Kind of like American corporate shareholders.)
God knows many of us suffer from this same disposition — our plan is for the hour at hand, for what we enjoy now, for what's to be had. Yes, we might have an education. And then have jobs. And money in the bank. But where are we today, and tomorrow, and then the day after? Maybe not on the beach selling knick-knacks or bric-a-brac, but, could be, neither here nor there, wondering where am I, what am I doing, where is all of this going?
The normal impulse is to look away when approached by vendors. We don't need their stuff, gods know, and don't want it, however much we feel their need.

research interests: Synaptic function
Research Interests
Specific Preparations and On-going Projects: a. Using Xenopus nerve-muscle cell cultures, we are studying the properties of synapses. Patch electrode recordings can be made simultaneously from presynaptic varicosities and postsynaptic muscle cells, while reagents can be introduced intracellularly through another electrode on the neuronal cell body. This allows correlation of ionic currents with transmitter release and modulation of release, and analysis of molecular mechanisms of release. b. Using mature frog neuromuscular preparations, we are studying the mechanisms of regulation of transmitter release efficacy by muscle stretch and hyperosmolarity. Both involve presynaptic integrins, tension on which increases either intraterminal calcium or sensitivity to calcium. c. Another project is aimed at understanding the destabilization of ACh receptors in denervated endplates as a nerve reinnervates part of the junction. In addition, I have a long-standing interest in the echolocation capabilities of bats and neural correlates of echolocation.

Bridge Superstructure.
Subjects Exhibited.
Point Bridge was designed by Edward Hemberle, Engineer of the American Bridge Company. It consists of tower and chains, with platform suspended therefrom in the same manner as in a regular chain suspension bridge. To this is added a stiffening system above the chains, and rigid posts arranged between chains and platform so as to prevent the roadway from undulating or oscillating independently of the structure above. The stiffening appliances above the chains consist of rigid chords running in straight lines from the top of the tower toward the center of the chain, and connecting thereto by a hinged joint at each end. Between these chords and the chains there is a system of bracing, composed of posts and diagonal tie-rods, all connections being pin-jointed. The chain, being a catenary, or curve of equilibrium, bears all the permanent load of the structure without straining the stiffening trusses. This object was accomplished by erecting the bridge completely before connecting the ends of the straight top chords to the centre joint. The rods are provided with turn-buckles, and are so adjusted as to be strained under moving loads only.
The total length of the bridge is 1,245 feet from back to back of anchorages, with one middle span of 800 feet between centres of piers, and one independent trussed side span of 145 feet in length at each shore. The roadway rises from both shores toward the centre of the channel, with grades not exceeding 3½ feet in 100 —the highest point of the roadway being 83 feet above low water. The saddles upon which the chains rest on top of the towers are 180 feet above low water. The deflection of the chain is 88 feet, which is considerably more than is usual for suspension bridges, but the stiffening allows of increasing the deflection and thereby reducing the strains in the chains as well as their weight. The bridge is 34 feet wide from centre to centre of outside railings, and this space is divided into a roadway 21 feet wide and two sidewalks of 6½ feet each.

Chapter XII.
Suspension Bridges.
311. The Point bridge (Fig. 115) at Pittsburg was designed by Edward Hemberle, and built in 1876 with a center span of 800 feet and two side spans of 145 feet each, making a total length of 1,250 feet. It had a 20-foot roadway and two 7-foot walks with a clear height beneath of 80 feet and cost $525,000. The river piers were of stone and the towers of iron, 110 feet high. The 8-inch eyebar cables have stiffening trusses above the chains in the form of segmental chords, and the design is such that all uniform loads are carried by the cables, causing no stress in the stiffening trusses. It was the longest span with flat eyebars in America, and toll was collected upon it till 1896. In 1906 it was repaired at a cost of $92,000.
DRIVE NO faster than A WALK
UNDER PENALTY of the LAW
I just got done researching the heck out of this very spot for a drawing. Amazing how fast things change. For your enjoyment: Fort Duquesne on July 9, 1755, the day of Braddock's Defeat.
Given all the coal and its widespread use at the time the picture was taken, I don't think a color picture (if it were available then) would look much different. At least in those days times were simpler in that it was common to look at things as being either black or white.
I think, "Solomon & Ruben, Reliable Clothiers" could have been to Pittsburgh what the "HOLLYWOOD" sign was to Los Angeles. Talk about placement.
Watch that first step, it's a doozie!! Hope no sleepwalkers lived in those buildings up there!
Built in 1877, it was replaced in 1927. The replacement was closed in 1959 and demolished in 1970. But the Duquesne Incline is still there and is still in operation.
Here's another view of the incline's upper station. It's the frame building behind the streetcar. This photo was taken on Grandview Ave about 1920. The streetcar's destination number was "40 Mt. Washington".

To help those booking rooms at Gracehill, I will be closed till
Friday, March 29, 2019 due to a shoulder replacement.
I look forward to hosting you in early spring!
Spring is a glorious time of year to visit our Smoky Mountain Inn, Gracehill Bed and Breakfast, a Townsend, TN, B&B, with a 360-degree view. We are the highest home in the county and border the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We've won 43 different awards from culinary (35) to gardens and service. Our favorite is, three years in a row, "Best Scenic View from a B&B in the United States" from Inn Traveler magazine. Your privacy is second only to the view.
Activities set the stage, nature steals the show. Please allow us to share this beautiful area with you. Our Day Trips page has 18 different ways you can spend a full day, and that is the tip of the iceberg. We are in the middle of a triangle formed by Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Townsend, and we are only minutes from all three. Select Townsend, the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies", and you have the natural beauty and serenity of the Cades Cove entrance to the Smoky Mountains National Park. Spend a day at leisure and feel you have stepped back in time, or, there is auto touring, hiking, biking, fly-fishing, tubing, kayaking, caving, strolling the bike trail, and touring the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center and Museum! Heading in the other direction, Gracehill Bed and Breakfast is only eleven miles from a "shop till you drop" experience in Pigeon Forge. Music theaters, outlet malls, and Dollywood are but 20 minutes away. Take a little-used entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and drive gorgeous River Road to Gatlinburg only 15 miles away. Fine restaurants, shopping, the aquarium, the arts and crafts community, and Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail are the best Gatlinburg, TN has to offer. Flying in? Knoxville's McGee Tyson Airport is 35 minutes away and a private airfield is 15 miles from the B&B in Sevierville. Maryville College is a 30 minute drive, The Great Smoky Mountain Institute at Tremont 15 minutes, and the University of Tennessee 50 minutes.
A beautiful sunrise, an elegant breakfast, a day spent doing nothing or everything and the romance of watching the sun go down over the mountain ranges of the Great Smokies. An intimate setting in a place of grandeur. Our photos, and Sunset Video, all taken on the property, speak a thousand words…. with

UW student photos exhibited
The work of photography students from UW-Sheboygan, UW-Manitowoc, and UW-Washington County will be on display at Gallery 224 in Port Washington through Dec. 17. Gallery 224 (gallery224.com) is located at 224 E. Main St. in Port Washington. Admission is free.
The exhibit titled "Early Work" features work from students in introductory and intermediate photography classes from each campus. Art instructors include Tom Uebelherr at UW-Sheboygan, Berel Lutsky at UW-Manitowoc, and Anna Mosiadis at UW-Washington County. The work on display, chosen by the instructors, represents a wide variety of subject matter and reflects many of these students' first experiences as image makers. According to Lutsky, "Millions of photographs are made and shared every day, and few if any are remembered beyond the quick press of the "like" button on our mobile devices. Creating a memorable image vs. "taking a picture" requires the development of both skills and attention to details, and an engagement with the world that just does not happen with the quick selfie, or "portrait" of our dinner plate. The memorable image then actively engages the world beyond the simple documentation of the self. There are some wonderful surprises here that speak well of these students' efforts to look carefully and respond thoughtfully."
Photography as well as drawing and other art classes are part of the curriculum offerings at the campus. For more information, visit, washington. uwc.edu/academics/courses.

Pomade is any sort of solid hair styling product including waxes, clays, gels, glues and creams. Pomade is different from other styling products in that in doesn't dry or harden and is usually hard to wash out. With pomade, you can get any pomade hairstyle , and an example is the greaser style. The greaser hairstyles itself has many variations like pompadour, rockabilly, ducktail and sideburns. But despite that, pomade also can be used to add shine, texturize the hair, control flyaways and create spiky or piecey look or you can use it for any modern hairstyle.
Perhaps almost all men already knew about this incredible product for long time ago. With pomade, all men can make a bold statement!
 The Pomade Hairstyles for Men
The pompadour is a men's hairstyle that became wildly popular in the 1950s, thanks to icons of the decade, such as Elvis Presley and James Dean. The style is defined by combing greased hair upward and back from the forehead. Today the pompadour lives on as a choice for men who desire a dramatic hairstyle.
The mohawk hair style was first noticed by Samuel de Champlain in what is now Canada. Despite the name, the hairstyle was first noticed on Huron Native Americans, though there were also other Native American tribes that wore the hairstyle. The mohawk hairstyle became popular in the 1970s with punk rockers and their fans. The actor Mr. T is also famous for his mohawk hair style. The fauxhawk hairstyle is based upon the mohawk hairstyle.
Sideburns can add interest and masculinity to any face. Â Most men prefer to have sideburns, and they can be worn many different ways. While some prefer to keep them short and neat, others like to don long Elvis chops. A simple hairstyle can be transformed with the right sideburns.
 The quiff is a component of a hairstyle which involves the man adding volume and emphasis to the hair at the front of his head. The style was a feature of men's hair in the 1950s and survives in several different forms. Straight, wavy and curly hair is suitable for a quiff style, but styling products such as pomade are necessary for the style to hold.
The Pictures of Pomade Hairstyle for Men
Essential oils mixed in with the pomade keep hair smelling fresh and fragrant. Make your own hair pomade and limit the number of chemicals and dyes that go in the pomade. Pomade also can add considerable weight to the hair by causing strands to join together, showing separation in the hair. used on dry hair, this makes the hair very easy to mold. allows greater manageability. should be used sparingly on fine hair because of the weight. As a man's grooming product, pomade is excellent on their hair. Pick one the best idea for pomade hairstyle above, and be ready for the party!

So I figured.. If I'm writing a blog, I should let my readers know more about me. This is more of a interior post, please don't get bored? :)
My favourite part in the room. I like to think that the decorations in my room shows people who I am.
And yes, I'm a colorful person. :p
Let's zoom in to my new favourite part. The pink wooden hand I got from typo. I painted the nails too so it doesn't look as plain. Also, it goes with the rings! ;)
Another favourite part of my room. I got this wall hanger for only $10 at Kmart and didn't want to ruin its prettiness by hanging my jeans on it. So, I put my necklaces to good use. :)
Oh you know, I got bored that day and decided to clean up my desk too to prepare for my new upcoming semester. Can you spot my minions army? :)

So, what defines a "Video Nasty"? As the Head Hauntress wrote:
PORTRAIT OF A VIDEO NASTY BONUS POINTS!!!!!"Video Nasty" was a "colloquial" term coined by the United Kingdom in 1982, which originally applied to a number of films distributed on VHS that were criticized for their violent content by the press, commentators such as Mary Whitehouse, and various religious organizations. In 1982 James Alan Ferman, the Secretary of the British Board of Film Censorship (BBFC) seized 22,000 video tapes in the London Metro area. These were test cases to see if the government could use the Obscene Publications Act of 1959 for violence, when it was usually used for Pornography. Out of these seizures, a list of 72 movies that could be successfully prosecuted was created by the Department of Public Prosecutions (DPP). This came to be known as the VIDEO NASTY list. Let's have a look at these and other maligned horror films as we watch some of Horror's most controversial titles.

So I'm getting ready to move to another part of town and I'm considering some changes to my telephone and cable arrangements. Specifically, I'm thinking of not paying for either.
For telephone I'm switching to VOIP, and I'm wondering if I can make a similar switch with my cable. My question is this: is it possible to replace cable with the Internet yet?
This should be easier for me that it is for most, as I don't really watch T.V. My girl watches Grey's Anatomy, Dexter, Weeds and Californication when they're on, but I think some of those have online versions available through the provider.
What I'm wondering is if I can get this kind of content through other means, e.g. Hulu, iTunes, Boxee, Torrents, etc.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. ::

About the Game
A landmark in psychological First-Person Survival is poised to make a haunting return. 10 years after terrifying gamers with its cult-classic debut, Ice-Pick Lodge has teamed up with Gambitious Digital Entertainment and General Arcade to bring a fully remastered version of the classic Pathologic to Steam, GOG and Humble Store for the first time. Make sure you've taken the time to meditate on what kind of person you really think you are, then check out this new trailer to get a taste of this unconventional survival game.
Pathologic Classic HD is an extensive remaster of the original game, featuring updated graphics and effects, while addressing the most prominent critiques of the original with a completely redone English script, brand new re-recorded voice-overs and reinstated text and dialogue. Released in anticipation of the Kickstarted Pathologic Remake that Ice-Pick Lodge is currently working on, Pathologic Classic HD allows gamers to experience the old masterpiece in a definitive way.
In Pathologic players embark on a dark journey to explore a remote town built upon old tanneries and butcheries just as a mysterious and deadly disease breaks out. Whilst the disease can be identified by physical symptoms, its roots and origins remain mysterious. The disease is highly infectious and deadly. It affects the neural and the blood-circulating systems, crippling both body and mind. To fight this epidemic local authorities send three agents, one of them a learned doctor, to access the situation and determine the best course of action. Along with the authorities' agents two volunteers find their way through the town along with the learned doctor, who goes by the name of The Bachelor. One of them, The Changeling, is a strange girl who believes she can heal with her hands, and the other, The Haruspex, is a talented amateur who's fond of experimental surgery. Taking on the role of one of these doctors, you'll explore the town, its weird traditions, and the complex relationships of its inhabitants. You will only have twelve days to defeat the invisible enemy called the Sand Plague. You cannot shoot, barter nor reason with this enemy, and only one thing is for certain; you can't save everyone.
About Ice-Pick Lodge
Ice-Pick Lodge is a Russian game development studio founded in 2002. So far we've released four games: Pathologic (2006), The Void (2009), Cargo! A Quest for Gravity (2011), and Knock Knock (2013). We wouldn't go as far as to call ourselves artists, but our general philosophy is that games should give players food for thought, not just fun. Now that gaming has embraced survival—a genre that allows us to put the player in a really uncomfortable situation, not hold their hand on a walk through a theme park—we're eager to explore the potential of this genre further.

FM 24-18: Tactical Single-Channel Radio Communications Techniques
Section I.
Retransmission and Remote Control Operations
8-1. Retransmission Operation for Radio Sets AN/VRC-45 and AN/VRC-49
Radio retransmission is an arrangement of two radios connected together to provide automatic retransmission of signals between two other radios that are too far apart to communicate directly with each other.
Special considerations.
Radio Sets AN/VRC-45 and AN/VRC-49 are radio configurations provided with Radio Set Control C-2299/VRC or RETRANS-Control C-10374/VRC for secure/nonsecure retransmission.
Frequency selection for retransmission.
To identify the radios involved in the retransmission operation, the retransmission site radios are identified as retransmission radios 2 and 3, and the distant radios as terminal radios 1 and 4. Radios 1 and 2 operate on one frequency; radios 3 and 4 on another frequency.
Frequencies selected for the receiver-transmitter units at the retransmission site must be such that the transmitting power of one radio will not interfere with the signals being received on the frequency of the other receiver-transmitter unit.
The frequencies selected will be at least 10 MHz apart.
Refer to your SOI and to TM 11-5820-401-10-1 to aid in selecting operating frequencies that will not cause interference problems.
Retransmission operation (nonsecure).
After the retransmission site radios are set up for retransmission, communications proceed automatically on a push-to-talk basis between the terminal radios.
Set the C-2299/VRC RETRANS switch to OFF.
When audio accessories are connected to the C-2299/VRC, set the C-2299/VRC RAD TRANS switch to position 1 to communicate through the receiver-transmitter connected to J701, and to position 2 to communicate through the other receiver-transmitter.
When the C-2299/VRC is connected to the radio-intercom system, the audio accessories connected to the control boxes must be used for radio communications. Set the MONITOR switch (on the AM-1780) to position A to communicate through "A" radio with terminal radio number 1, and to position 2 to communicate through "C" radio with terminal radio number 4.
Turn on and tune each receiver-transmitter to its assigned frequency. Establish a satisfactory squelch mode operation with each terminal radio before proceeding to use the radios for retransmission. Squelch is discussed in paragraph 8-8.
Notify each terminal radio station to communicate directly with the other station; then set the C-2299/VRC RETRANS switch to ON. When the C-2299/VRC is used in the radio-intercom system, also set the AM-1780/VRC INSTALLATION SWITCH to RETRANS.
Communications between the terminal radios progress automatically. While communications are in progress, the CALL indicator of the receiving radio lights and the blower motor of the other radio should be heard operating.
When the audio accessory is connected to the C-2299/VRC, the retransmission can be monitored by setting it to position 1 during the time retransmission is in progress from terminal radio number 1 to terminal radio number 4, and to position 2 when retransmission is in progress in the opposite direction.
When the C-2299/VRC is in the radio-intercom system, monitor the retransmission using the ALL position of the control box MONITOR switches.
The setting of the VOLUME controls of the receiver-transmitter units has no effect on the signal between the retransmission site radios.
While the C-2299/VRC RETRANS switch is set to RETRANS and the AM-1780/VRC INSTALLATION switch to RETRANS, the retransmission site radios cannot be keyed for transmission.
When retransmission is completed, or to establish contact with the terminal radios, set the C-2299/VRC RETRANS switch to OFF. In the radio-intercom system, also set the AM-1780/VRC INSTALLATION switch to OTHER.
Retransmission operation (secure).
After the retransmission site radios are set up for retransmission, communications proceed automatically on a push-to-talk basis between the terminal radios.
Turn on and tune each receiver-transmitter to its assigned frequency. Set squelch to NEW ON.
Turn on and load (key) each TSEC/KY-57 with appropriate variables if secure communications are desired at the RETRANS site.
|NOTE: In tracked vehicles, ensure AM-1780/VRC installation switch is set to OTHER.
Establish secure communications with distant terminals (Radio 1 to Radio 2 and Radio 3 to Radio 4).
Notify one terminal to communicate directly with the other; immediately set C-10374/VRC RETRANS switch to RETRANS.
Communications between the terminal radios progress automatically. While communications are in progress, the call indicator of the receiving radio lights and the blower motor of the other radio should be heard operating.
To establish contact with either terminal radio, set C-10374/VRC RETRANS switch to OFF and call using the appropriate radio set (2 to 1 or 3 to 4).

Equipment Compatibility and Netting Procedures
Equipment Compatibility and Netting Procedures
8-8. FM Equipment Compatibility
Single-channel FM voice radio is the primary communications means used in practically all Army units. FM radio gives the tactical commander the quick, reliable, flexible communications support necessary to control the battle. The main family of FM radios used by the Army today includes the AN/VRC-12 series and the AN/PRC-77. With the fielding of the single-channel ground and airborne radio subsystem (SINCGARS), the Army will be using two families of FM radios. Also making its debut into the inventory is the extended frequency range, Multimode Field Radio Set AN/PRC-70. It is capable of operating FM, AM, or SSB over a frequency range of 2 to 76 MHz. It is further described in Appendix C. The communications personnel of both Active Army and Reserve Components must be prepared to plan for and operate tactical FM radio nets containing all three families of radios. Today's Army finds Active and Reserve Components training together and operating together. The old and new generations of FM radios do interoperate, and all it takes is proper planning and training to make the nets work. The following paragraphs give some planning considerations for operating nets with both families of radios.
Frequency planning.
Figure 8-5 shows a comparison between AN/VRC-12 series and SINCGARS-V radio sets. In addition to the extended range of SINCGARS-V, channel spacing problems must be anticipated when interfacing AN/VRC-12 and SINCGARS-V. The channel spacing for AN/VRC-12 is 50 kilohertz. The channel spacing for SINCGARS-V is 25 kilohertz. When interfacing is necessary, frequencies must end in 00 or 50.
The AN/VRC-12 series radios have the squelch capability of old squelch, new squelch or no squelch. The old squelch was for use with the AN/GRC-3 thru 8 series radios. The AN/PRC-77, AN/PRC-25 and SINCGARS-V radios have the capability of new squelch or no squelch. The AN/VRC-12 series radios should be used in new squelch or no squelch only.
The AN/PRC-25 has no capability for operations using secure equipment. The AN/PRC-77 and AN/VRC-12 series radios can be secured with Vinson or Nestor devices. SINCGARS-V can be secured with Vinson. Vinson and Nestor devices are not compatible, therefore, no interface is possible. Planners should attempt to exchange equipment if certain nets must be on-line secured, and leave other nets to use low-level encryption and authentication procedures. Regardless of which type of security system is used, all nets MUST USE proper radio procedures.
Figure 8-5. Frequency comparison chart.
Compatibility chart.
The following chart (table 8-1) compares the important characteristics of the receiver-transmitter units which are the chief components of both old and new series of FM radios. Of particular importance are frequency, channel spacing, squelch, and secure equipment capability.
Table 8-1. FM compatibility chart
8-9. AM Radio Operations
Equipment shortages or differences may cause serious problems for you. These problems can cause you to have to use one or two radio sets to pass all the traffic normally passed by a half dozen or more sets. It will help for you to remember that AM radios can pass traffic in either of three modes: voice, RATT, or CW. The following subparagraphs will help you to solve the problems just mentioned.
Design considerations for reduced assets
Alternate the radio between nets. Select the most important net to monitor and operate in. Enter the other nets only when necessary to pass traffic. Enter the other nets at preplanned times or notify the other stations by telephone or FM radio at unscheduled times.
Operate one AM radio in several nets using an established time schedule. The schedule should change every day and be randomly generated to preclude the enemy from analyzing your traffic pattern.
Preplan all messages by using brevity lists and codes as much as possible to shorten the amount of time actually spent on the air.
Use off-line teletypewriters of the telecommunications center to prepare teletypewriter tapes prior to submitting traffic to the RATT operator for transmission. This reduces the burden on the RATT operator and saves transmission time.
Use full-duplex (FDX) operation on equipment which has FDX capability. Much more traffic can be passed over FDX circuits than over half-duplex circuits, thereby reducing time required for passing traffic.
Transmit low priority traffic over alternate means, such as messenger or multichannel radio, if they are available.
Use one radio, if possible, for several individuals, staff sections, or units.
Establish a wire link with a distant station using the existing teletype-writer and secure device along with a Telegraph Terminal TH-5/TG or TH-22/TG when the radio or modem of a RATT system is defective. Speech-plus can also be provided using this technique by using Telegraph-Telephone Terminal AN/TCC-14 or AN/TCC-29.
Equipment considerations.
When different types of AM radios must work together in the same net, here are some suggestions which should help ensure communications.
SOI must include proper frequency assignments compatible to each type of radio equipment. All nets using two or more different AM radios are restricted to certain frequency ranges or modes of operation. (The various technical characteristics of all the AM radios currently in the Army inventory will be covered later in this chapter.) Frequency and mode assignments must be coordinated prior to joint operations when units with different AM radios may be involved together.
Radio planning ranges must be considered when planning nets. Certain AM radios have much more power than others, so planning ranges must be based on the least powerful radio's capabilities. Related to the distance factor is the type and polarization of antennas. Antennas must be properly polarized and correctly oriented. For extended ranges, a half-wave doublet antenna, such as the AN/GRA-50, should be used whenever time and terrain permit.
NOTE 1: When planning RATT operations with units with whom you do not normally operate, it is important that compatible speeds be selected. This is especially critical for units equipped with older generation teletypewriter sets, such as the TT-4, TT-98 and TT-76 teletypewriter-reperforator. These sets operate at speeds of 60, 66, 75, or 100 words per minute (WPM) depending on the worm gear installed in the set. The worm gear must be changed to be compatible with units operating at unlike speeds. Units who have mission support to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and United States Army, Europe (USAREUR) units must ensure that 66 WPM gears are on hand and installed prior to deployment into these theaters since 66 WPM is the NATO/USAREUR standard.
Various civilian radios with AM, CW, and SSB capabilities can be used provided prior approval is obtained. Under no circumstances will citizen's band procedures be used. When using civilian radio equipment, proper military procedures will be used.
Security considerations.
Some of the Army AM radios may be secured in the voice mode by using the KY-65. Most AM radios can be secured for RATT operation by using the TSEC/KW-7 or TSEC/KG-84 security devices. Some of the older radios have not been modified to accept the KW-7 at this time but can be altered to accept it as required. If time and situation permit, ensure that all your radios have been modified to accept security devices. When operating a nonsecured radio in voice or CW modes, it is essential to use codes or off-line encryption methods.
8-10. Technical Considerations
Old and new equipment.
Most active components use the newer families of SSB radios, whereas the Reserve Components have a combination of the older AM and the newer SSB equipment. The new equipment can work with the older equipment, but it takes just a little extra care to make it work correctly. The planner needs to know the technical characteristics of all the radio sets involved in order to plan the communications network properly. Table 8-2 is a comparison of technical characteristics of the AM radios in the Army inventory. (See the following Tables 8-3, 8-4, and 8-5.)
The most important technical characteristics to consider when netting two different radios are the type of tuning and type of emission.
As noted in Table 8-2., the older radios have continuous tuning whereas the newer radios have detent tuning. The difference between these two is that detent-tuned radios can tune only to certain frequencies and cannot tune to the in-between frequencies to which the continuous-tuned radios can tune. The NCS should have a new series radio set to which all radios can tune. If the NCS does not have a new series radio set, the operator should direct a station with a new series radio to provide the signal to which all others tune. Check Table 8-6 for compatible frequency ranges.
Types of emission must match. In the CW mode, the type of emission for both old and new series radio sets is the same. In the FSK mode, the type of emission is the same. Only the way the carrier shifts is different, and this problem can be overcome. (See paragraph 12.) The type of emission for voice, however, is different. The old series equipment uses double sideband (DSB) while the new series equipment uses SSB and compatible AM. Only the compatible AM mode of the new series radio can be used with the older equipment. SSB cannot be used to communicate with the older series equipment.
Another item of importance that must be taken into consideration when operating old and new series radio sets together is the difference in frequency ranges. The old series radio sets have a transmitting frequency range between 1.5 to 20 MHz, and a receiving frequency range between 0.5 to 32 MHz. The new series radio sets have a frequency range for transmitting and receiving from 2.0 to 29.999 MHz. So when operating between the old and the new series radios, the operating frequency must be within 2.0 to 20 MHz.
The most commonly used old series RATT sets are the AN/GRC-46 and the AN/GRC-26D. They are used by Reserve Components. The most commonly used new series RATT sets are the AN/GRC-142 and the AN/GRC-122 used by both Reserve Components and the active Army.
Characteristics of both old and new series equipment are listed in Table 8-7. (See Tables 8-3, 8-4, and 8-5.)
Table 8-7. Characteristics of both old and new generation AM radio sets.
8-11. Modes of Operations
The AN/GRC-46 and the AN/GRC-26D operate in the AM (DSB), CW, and FSK (850 Hz shift) modes.
The AN/GRC-142/122 operates in the SSB (using upper sideband), AM voice, narrow frequency shift keying (NSK) (85 Hz shift), FSK (850 Hz shift), and CW modes of operation.
8-12. Procedures for Interoperability
After establishing a compatible SOI net frequency, the following rules apply for netting old and new series radio sets for different modes of operations.
Voice operations (Table 8-8).
New series radio sets AN/GRC-142/122.
- Tune for normal voice operation.
- Change the SERVICE SELECTOR switch on the RT-662 or RT-834 from SSB/NSK to the AM position.
- Conduct normal voice operation.
Old series radio sets AN/GRC-46 and AN/GRC-26D.
- Tune equipment as usual for voice operation.
- While receiving voice signal from a station in the net using a new series radio set, rotate the CONTINUOUS TUNING dial for clearest voice reception.
- Realign transmitter to receiver.
- Conduct normal voice operation.
Table 8-8. Voice tuning procedures. CW operation (Table 8-9).
New series radio sets AN/GRC-142/122.
- Tune radio set for normal operation.
- Change the SERVICE SELECTOR switch on the RT-662 or RT-834 to the CW position.
NOTE: In the CW mode, the transmitted RF signal is 2 kHz higher than the frequency indicated on the RT's (Receiver/Transmitter) MC and KC controls.
- Lower the operating frequency by 2 kHz on the RT-834/662. Key radio set with CW keying device and adjust beat frequency oscillator (BFO) control left or right for comfortable listening tone.
- Conduct normal CW operation.
Old series radio sets AN/GRC-46, AN/GRC-26D.
- Tune radio sets for normal CW operations.
- While receiving a CW signal from a station in the net using a new series radio set, rotate the CONTINUOUS TUNING dial on the receiver until a clear CW signal is heard.
- Realign transmitter to receiver.
- Conduct normal CW operations.
NOTE: Other than netting with the continuous tuning dial for voice and CW operations, the operator of the new series radio set was the only one that had to make changes in the normal tuning procedures of his radio set. For RATT operations, both the operator of the old series and the new series radio sets must make changes from the normal tuning procedures. The primary reason is the position of the mark and space signals in relation to the carriers of the two types of equipment. Old series radio sets transmit the mark signal above the carrier and the space signal below the carrier. The new series radio sets transmit the mark signal below the carrier and the space signal above the carrier.
New series RATT sets AN/GRC-142/122.
- Tune RATT equipment as usual for normal RATT mode of operation.
- Change the service selector switch on the RT-662 or RT-834 to the FSK position.
- Change the REC switch on the modem (MD-522) from normal to reverse.
- Change the mode selector switch on the MD-522 to 850 Hz.
- When receiving a TTY signal, adjust the BFO on the MD-522 for reverse scope alignment. If necessary, adjust the Frequency Vernier to assist BFO scope alignment when tuning the receiver to the receive signal.
- Conduct normal RATT operation.
NOTE: When receiving a TTY signal from like equipment (new series radio to new series radio), the REC switch must go back to NORMAL in order to receive.
Old series radio teletypewriter set AN/GRC-46.
- Tune RATT equipment as usual for normal RATT mode of operation (Table 8-10).
- Change the service switch on the Converter CV-278 from normal to reverse.
- Adjust the Receiver R-392 to the tuning signal of the AN/GRC-142/122, VSC-2, or VSC-3. Adjust until a mark 40 signal to the right of 0 is received on the (CV-278) converter.
- Realign transmitter to receiver.
- Conduct normal RATT operation.
Table 8-10. RATT tuning procedures.
NOTE: When operating secure RATT and you are not receiving, the teletypewriters may run open. To stop them from running open, return the SERVICE switch on the Converter CV-278 to the MARK HOLD position. On the CV-116 set the MARK HOLD switch back to the MARK HOLD position.
Old series radio teletypewriter set AN/GRC-26D.
- Tune RATT equipment as usual for normal RATT mode of operation (Table 8-11).
- Change the MARK HOLD switch on the converter (CV-116) from XTAL (left) (NORM) position to the XTAL (right) (REV) position.
- Adjust the Receiver R-390 to the tuning signal of the AN/GRC-142/122, VSC-2, or VSC-3. Adjust until a mark 50 signal to the right of 0 is received.
- Realign transmitter to receiver.
- Conduct normal RATT operation.
NOTE 1: When receiving a TTY signal from like equipment (old series radio to old series radio), the service switch on CV-278 or the MARK HOLD switch on CV-116 must go back to the normal operating position in order to receive.
NOTE 2: When operating secure RATT and you are not receiving, the teletypewriters may run open. To stop them from running open, return the SERVICE switch on the Converter CV-278 to the MARK HOLD position. On the CV-116 set the MARK HOLD switch back to the MARK HOLD position. 8-26
