Der Direktmischempfänger oder Homodynempfänger ist ein Überlagerungsempfänger mit einer Oszillatorfrequenz, die der Empfangsfrequenz ω entspricht. Technisch gesehen handelt es sich um einen Synchrondemodulator bzw. Lock-in-Verstärker.

Die Mischung mit der Oszillatorfrequenz führt in diesem Fall unmittelbar zum Niederfrequenzsignal. Die Verstärkung und die Selektion (siehe Trennschärfe) des gewünschten Signals erfolgen im NF-Verstärker. Einen ZF-Verstärker gibt es nicht. Bei dieser Empfangstechnik werden, im Gegensatz zum Superheterodynempfänger, die Spiegelspektren durch die Bildung der komplexen Einhüllenden vermieden. Die Bildung der komplexen Einhüllenden ergibt im Basisband komplexe Signale welche aus einem real und einem imaginären Anteil bestehen, welche auch als I- und Q-Komponente bezeichnet werden.

Allgemein wird bei dieser Empfängerstruktur das hochfrequente Empfangssignal einer Hilbert-Transformation unterzogen und so ein analytisches Signal gebildet. Dieses wird mit der komplexen Trägerfrequenz e−jωt multipliziert, um so direkt das komplexe Basisbandsignal zu erhalten. Alternativ, und dazu gleichwertig, kann auch zuerst das Empfangssignal mit der komplexen Trägerfrequenz multipliziert werden, und anschließend wird das Basisbandsignal in Form von zwei exakt gleichen Tiefpassfiltern für den Real- bzw. Imaginärteil gewonnen.

Direktmischende Empfängerstrukturen stellen bei digitalen Übertragungen im Bereich der digitalen Signalverarbeitung die überwiegende Empfängerstruktur dar. Insbesondere bei digitalen Modulationsverfahren mit hoher spektraler Effizienz wie der Quadraturamplitudenmodulation ist diese Empfängerstruktur üblich.

In klassischen analogen Empfängerschaltungen spielt der Homodynempfänger hingegen nur eine untergeordnete Rolle, da er schaltungstechnisch durch die begrenzte Genauigkeit elektronischer Komponenten nur schwierig zu realisieren ist und schaltungstechnisch aufwändig ist. Insbesondere die Realisierung von analogen Hilberttransformatoren bzw. von exakt aufeinander abgestimmten Tiefpassfiltern limitieren den praktisch verwertbaren Einsatz. Adaptierte analoge Direktmischempfänger wurden teilweise im Amateurfunkbereich angewendet.

Ruling that "the designation 'company' cannot transform the name of the goods for which registration is sought into a trademark," the TTAB found the term ELECTRIC CANDLE COMPANY to be generic for "light bulbs; lighting accessories, namely, candle sleeves; lighting fixtures." In addition to genericness, the Board also found the phrase to be "incapable of identifying source for electric candles" under Section 23 of the Trademark Act. In re Wm. B. Coleman Co., Inc., 93 USPQ2d 2019 (TTAB 2010) [precedential].
Applicant sought registration on the Supplemental Register, having failed to convince Examining Attorney Mark Sparacino that the phrase had acquired distinctiveness under Section 2(f). The Examining Attorney then refused registration on the ground of genericness.
The Examining Attorney relied on excerpts from Applicant's website, on third-party websites, and on dictionary definitions, to show that the term "electric candle" is generic. In fact, "electric candle" is an entry in the Trademark Manual of Acceptable Identifications of Goods and Services. He applied both the Gould (compound word) and the American Fertility (phrase) tests for genericness, arguing that under Gould, "electric candle" is a unitary generic term and the addition of 'company' creates a compound term," and that under American Fertility, the phrase is generic pursuant to In re Cell Therapeutics, 67 USPQ2d 1795 (TTAB 2003) [CELL THERAPEUTICS generic for pharmaceuticals].
Applicant argued that ELECTRIC CANDLE COMPANY is not a compound term, and there are no examples of third-party use of the entire phrase.
The record shows that "electric candle" is a unitary generic term. *** The space between the generic terms "electric candle" and "company" does not disqualify this type of proposed mark from the Gould analysis. If anything, the terms appearing as they should in normal usage make it even more common. There is no logical basis upon which to conclude that Gould would have yielded a different result if the mark had been SCREEN WIPE rather than SCREENWIPE. Therefore, the Gould analysis applies under these circumstances.
Finally, dealing with Applicant's contention that ELECTRIC CANDLE COMPANY is not the term that consumers would use to describe the genus, the Board ruled that "the relevant public would nonetheless understand ELECTRIC CANDLE COMPANY to refer to a company that offers electric candles, and public understanding is critical. 1800Mattress.com, 92 USPQ2d at 1685. It is, therefore, incapable of identifying source for electric candles because it is a term a purchaser would understand and could use to refer to the type of company that sells electric candles, and must be left available for use by other such companies selling electric candles."
As has been found in other cases, marks may not equate to the literal name of the goods or services for which registration is sought, but still be deemed to be "generic" or otherwise incapable of attaining source significance and thus unregistrable, even on the Supplemental register. See In re Boston Beer Co. Ltd. Partnership, 47 USPQ2d 1914 (TTAB 1998), aff'd, 198 F.3d 1370, 53 USPQ2d 1056 (Fed. Cir. 1999) (The Best Beer in America, although not the generic name of the goods, is such a commonly used laudatory phrase that it is incapable of registration as a trademark).
And so the Board ruled that ELECTRIC CANDLE COMPANY is both generic and incapable of serving as a source indicator for Applicant's goods.
TTABlog comment: Bravo to the Board for tackling head on the CAFC's goofy dichotomy between compounds words and phrases when it comes to genericness. Let's hope the CAFC sees the (candle)light one of these days and straightens out these two cases.
By the way, the Board took a similar approach in its recent, non-precedential ruling in the JOJOBA BUTTER BEADS case [TTABlogged here].
Text Copyright John L. Welch 2010.
Applying In re Gould to phrases (as opposed to two or more words joined together into one, unitary compound word) would seem to have been prohibited by In re Dial-A-Mattress, 240 F.3d 1341, 1345 (Fed. Cir. 2001). Goofy or not, that's the controlling precedent, and the TTAB is not permitted to say otherwise.


It's the Fest Time of the Year!

Tragedia aeriană de la Superga este un accident aviatic care a avut loc miercuri, 4 mai 1949, atunci când un avion care transporta aproape întreaga echipă de fotbal Torino A.C., cunoscută sub numele de Il Grande Torino, s-a prăbușit pe dealul Superga de lângă Torino, ucigând pe toate cele 31 de persoane de la bord, inclusiv cei 18 jucători, oficialii clubului, jurnaliștii care însoțeau echipa și echipajul avionului. Echipa se întorcea de la un meci de adio pentru Xico Ferreira jucat împotriva clubului Benfica la Lisabona.

Accidentul
Aeronava Fiat G212CP (cu trei motoare) a companiei Avio Linee Italiane (Italian Airlines), care transporta echipa de fotbal, a decolat de la Lisabona la 09:52. Comandantul aeronavei era locotenent-colonelul Pierluigi Meroni. Avionul a făcut o oprire pentru a realimenta la Barcelona la 13:15. În timpul opririi, echipa Torino a servit masa de prânz și s-a întâlnit cu echipa AC Milan care se deplasa la Madrid. Avionul a decolat din Barcelona la ora 14:50, urmând să zboare deasupra orașelor Cap de Creus, Toulon, Nisa, Albenga și Savona.

Vremea în zona din apropierea orașului Torino era foarte rea; vizibilitatea la aeroport era de 1.200 m cu nori la altitudinea de 400 m. De la Savona, avionul ia direcția nord către Torino, unde urma să sosească în aproximativ 30 de minute. La ora 16:55, aeroportul Aeritalia din Torino îi informează pe piloți de condițiile meteorologice: nori denși la joasă înălțime, ploaie deasă, vânt puternic în rafale de la sud-vest, vizibilitatea orizontală foarte scăzută (40 metri). Turnul solicită și el să i se comunice poziția aeronavei. După câteva minute de tăcere, la 16:59 primește răspunsul: "Quota 2.000 metri. QDM su Pino, poi tagliamo su Superga."

La apropierea de Torino, aeronava a zburat pe o vreme de furtună și a avut parte de ceață și vizibilitate scăzută. Ea a fost forțată să coboare la o altitudine mai mică pentru a avea o vizibilitate mai bună. La nord de Pino Torinese, care se află între Chieri și Baldissero Torinese, se află dealul Superga cu o altitudine de 672 de metri și pe care este o bazilică. La ora 17:03, avionul a făcut un viraj stânga și s-a aliniat, pregătindu-se pentru aterizare. Vântul avea o viteză de 180 km/h, iar vizibilitatea era redusă la numai 40 de metri. Pilotul, care credea că avea dealul Superga în dreapta lui, a virat avionul spre stânga. Aeronava s-a lovit de zidul din spate al complexului Bazilicii din Superga, aflate pe vârful unui deal, la o distanță de 8 km de Torino.  La ora 17:05, turnul de control încearcă să ia legătura cu avionul, dar nu primește nici un răspuns. Autoritățile italiene au citat vremea rea cu nori la joasă altitudine, legătura radio slabă și o eroare de navigație ca factori care au contribuit la producerea accidentului.  Au murit în acel accident 18 jucători, 3 oficiali ai clubului, 2 antrenori, 3 jurnaliști și un interpret. La înmormântarea victimelor accidentului a participat aproape un milion de persoane.

Pereții bazicilii, distruși în urma impactului, sunt încă vizibili, deoare s-a decis ca ei să nu mai fie reconstruiți. Tragicul eveniment este menționat într-un muzeu din interiorul clădirii și o placă pe partea din spate. În fiecare an, la data de 4 mai, se oficiază o liturghie în memoria victimelor.

Impactul emoțional al accidentului aviatic a fost profund în rândul fanilor italieni, deoarece jucătorii care au murit făceau parte dintr-o echipă legendară care câștigase ultimul titlu de campioană a Italiei (din Serie A) de dinaintea întreruperii campionatului în 1944 în urma celui de-Al Doilea Război Mondial și care revenise apoi după război și câștigase patru titluri consecutive (1946–1949).

La momentul accidentului, Torino A.C. se afla pe locul I în Serie A, mai având de jucat doar patru meciuri până la finalul campionatului. Clubul a trimis pe teren echipa sa de tineret (Primavera) și, în semn de respect, cluburile adversare din aceste meciuri (Genoa, Palermo, Sampdoria și Fiorentina) au jucat tot cu echipele de tineret. Echipa de tineret a clubului Torino A.C. a câștigat toate aceste meciuri, precum și titlul de campioană a Italiei (lo scudetto). Dezastrul aviatic a slăbit mult echipa națională de fotbal a Italiei care includea 10 jucători de la Torino A.C. Clubul torinez nu a mai obținut niciun titlu de campioană până în 1976.

Din întreaga echipă au rămas doar trei jucători: Sauro Tomà a ratat deplasarea în Portugalia din cauza unei accidentări. De asemenea, jucătorul maghiar László Kubala, care trebuia să o ofere o reprezentație ca invitat la Lisabona, tocmai se reunise cu soția și cu fiul său; băiatul era bolnav și Kubala a rămas să-l îngrijească, lipsind de la călătoria fatală. Un alt jucător al echipei de tineret, Luigi Giuliano, care a jucat mai multe jocuri și a marcat 4 goluri în meciurile anterioare de campionat, nu a obținut pașaportul la timp și a supraviețuit.

Fiul căpitanului Valentino Mazzola, Sandro, a devenit un fotbalist de faimă internațională la rândul său în anii '60 ai secolului al XX-lea, jucând la Inter Milan. Atât tatăl, cât și fiul, au purtat pe tricou numărul 10.

La 26 mai 1949 a avut loc un meci de caritate pentru familiile victimelor între "Torino Simbolo" (simbolicul Torino), format din cei mai buni jucători din Serie A, și echipa argentiniană River Plate. "La Maquina" a aliniat pe teren jucători celebri ca Norberto Yacono, Alfredo di Stefano și Angel Labruna. Meciul s-a terminat cu scorul de 2-2.

In business, as in life, we tend to gravitate towards things that entertain us. After all, no one spends their weekends looking for a boring time or raves about a conference that was especially dull. As a small business, it is important that your audience perceives your brand as enjoyable and lively. No matter your industry, you have an opportunity to entertain your customer and mold a brand that puts a smile on their face.
In this digital age, it is especially important for every business to produce content regularly. The content you publish will establish the voice of your brand. Therefore, if your content is entertaining, your business will seem entertaining.
You may think that you have to be in a "fun" industry to write amusing content, but this is not the case. HubSpot provides some fantastic suggestions to liven up any piece of content such as weaving a story into your writing, sprinkling in a popular reference, and cracking a joke or two.
Just like you wouldn't spend an entire cocktail party only talking about yourself, it is important for you to create a two-way conversation with your audience. There are so many ways you can use your social media platforms, such as Facebook, to develop a rapport with your followers through discussion.
The key to making a conversation feel more personal is identifying a common interest outside of your business. For example, paying tribute to a meaningful day of a popular franchise is bound to make you appear more relatable to your audience and lighten up the tone of your brand. On Star Wars Day this year, this strategy was implemented by businesses all over the galaxy.
According to an annual usage report by Flurry, mobile users now spend more than five hours a day on their smartphones. In a society where so many people are turning to their mobile devices as a primary source of entertainment, businesses with mobile offerings are much more likely to resonate with the average consumer.
With the drive of social media, consumers are craving collaborative, community-driven involvement on their smartphones. Creating a mobile game using your company brand can connect you with your audience by creating a unique type of digital community users are looking for. Using a tool, such as Agora for mobile games, to enhance your game with voice or video chat will allow your customers to interact with each other more intimately. Associating your brand with a game that your audience enjoys playing is certain to leave them with a positive impression of your company.
By implementing a few of the strategies mentioned to position your company as entertaining and likable, you will separate yourself from your competitors and win the hearts of your audience. If your audience genuinely likes you as a business they are more likely to buy your products, engage with your brand online, and talk about you with their friends and family.

Q: Kicking off a script and moving on to start another I'm trying to remotely deploy some software and I have a few batch scripts to help this process along.  The basics of my process is to have a text list that scriptA goes through, scriptA copies the necessary files to the target PCs (retrieved from the list) and launches ScriptB.  The theory would then be that it would move on to the next PC in the list as soon as ScriptB launches and doesn't wait for ScriptB to finish before moving on.  The basics of what I have are below:
ScriptA:
Set /P List= Please enter the list name
Set /P Name= Please enter your username
FOR /F %%A IN (%LIST%) DO (
MKDIR \\%%A\C$\Temp\Install
XCOPY "\\share\necessary files" "\\%%A\C$\Temp\Install"
PSEXEC \\%%A -u DOMAIN\%NAME% -e "\\%%A\C$\Temp\Install\scriptB.bat"
)

ScriptB just runs the installer and cleans up after itself.
Like I said, the goal would be that once scriptA has finished copying over files and gets things kicked off, it would move on to the next PC on the list.  I've confirmed that everything works as is right now (so please ignore any random things that wouldn't work in the pseudocode above) it just takes forever because it waits for the installation to finish before moving on.
EDIT:
I realized I had the wrong files shown as being copied.  What was originally listed as 'install.bat' should have been scriptB.  I apologize, it has been very hard to try to get my question across as I'm having a very hard time describing the problem.
Per Request, here is how I was using start:
ScriptA:
START PSECEC \\%%A -u DOMAIN\%NAME% -e "\\%%A\C$\Temp\Install\ScriptB.bat"

It worked to start ScriptB in a new window, but what I'm really trying to have as the final product is:

*

*scriptA gets prompts for the list of PC names

*scriptA pulls the first name from the list and copies over the install files from a     network share, including scriptB and puts them in \temp\install

*scriptA kicks off scriptB on the PC it just copied files to.

*While scriptB is running, scriptA moves on and copies the files to the next PC on the list and kicks of the next copy of scriptB

*repeat until the whole list of PCs is completed.

I hope this helps to clarify things, and again, I apologize for the confusion.  I have all of the steps listed above working as I would hope, the only thing that isn't working is that I can't get scriptA to kick off scriptB without pausing scriptA to wait for scriptB to finish and what I would like to have happen is that it moves on without waiting (so that I could start this script at the end of the day and it would continue installing at night until it finished the list of PCs).
Thanks again for any help!

A: You can use the START command to launch a command without waiting for it to end before moving on. Note that this will execute the specified command in a newly created command prompt, not in the same command prompt process.
Be aware though that if the path to your executable/batch file contains spaces, you must specify an empty string argument as the first argument. Example:
START "" "C:\Path with spaces\My other script.bat"

This is due to the fact that if the first arguments is surrounded by quotes, it is considered as being the title of the new command prompt that is launched to execute your new process. Specifying an empty argument (or the title you'd like to use for that matter) will work around this situation.

A: The further we are away from the actual problem, the less able we are to help. The more general the question, the more vague the response.
We're pointlessly mapping from "ScriptB" to "Install.bat" and you've claimed to have added the start command but not shown us where you've used it.
Using your original script, changing
PSEXEC \\%%A -u DOMAIN\%NAME% -e "\\%%A\C$\Temp\Install.bat"

to
start "installing on %%A" PSEXEC \\%%A -u DOMAIN\%NAME% -e "\\%%A\C$\Temp\Install.bat"

should solve the problem - but no guarantees.

A THEASY BEST BET: FOR MILLENNIALS AND BABY BOOMERS
Millennials wonder whether to have children
Boomers deal with the onset of age-related health problems
Affirms life with gratitude and is light on philosophy
70 minutes, no intermission
To purchase tickets visit newyorktheaterfestival.com
Written and Directed by Jan Ewing
Part of the Winterfest Theater Festival
Off Off Broadway, Play
Runs through 1.19.19
Hudson Guild Theater, 441 West 26th Street
by Jake Goldbas on 1.15.19
Nursery Rhymes.
BOTTOM LINE: Millennials and baby boomers will find a light-hearted inquiry into present-day parenthood.
Nursery Rhymes, a new play by Jan Ewing, is playing now as part of the WinterFest theater festival. The play tells the story of a millennial couple, Irene (Colleen White) and Chip (Patrick Hamilton), who are arguing about having a child. In the meantime, the couple entertains guests: Marge (Ashley Formento) and Frank (J. Michael Baran), who have a son of their own.
Ewing paints his characters in broad brushstrokes of present-day Americans. Yet these issues are simultaneously eternal and of the moment. Millennials are better educated than any other generation, but such education can have counter-intuitive social consequences—prolonged adolescence in men and perhaps the opposite for women, who are pushed professionally before, during, and after college. Ewing uses Chip, who is temporarily laid off, and Irene, a toothpaste executive, as proxies for this generation.
Irene brings Frank and Marge over to persuade Chip to have a child, but the two boomers have their own problems. Frank's mother, who does not appear on stage, lived with Frank and Marge until her senility became a problem. Marge's own menopause is a stand-in for any number of smaller ailments this generation is now beginning to face. Her "forgetfulness" may be from menopause, or might be an omen of her own dementia to come.
Art, perhaps better than philosophy, recognizes gratitude for existence. The potential for tragedy is the same potential for greatness, or even the goodness, of ordinary love. Ewing comes down hard on his belief that the human race should continue; for example, he gives his characters enough money to have children if they want them. The bottomless skepticism and despair of Socrates and Schopenhauer has been and will be addressed elsewhere—thankfully. Ewing's Nursery Rhymes is something else—an affirmation of life. And audiences will no doubt see themselves in these characters' redemption.
(Nursery Rhymes plays at the Hudson Guild Theatre, 441 West 26th Street, through January 19, 2019. The running time is 70 minutes, no intermission. Performances are 1/14 at 9, 1/16 at 9, and 1/19 at 6. Tickets are $23. For tickets and more information visit newyorktheaterfestival.com.)
Nursery Rhymes is written and directed by Jan Ewing. Produced by William J. Cataldi. Set Design by Michael Mitchell. Stage Manager is Tamara Knezevic.
The cast is Coleen White, Patrick Hamilton, Ashley Formento, and J. Michael Baran.

Having created lists of concerts I have attended, bands I have heard, galleries I have visited, etc, I overlooked theatre and dance productions I have seen. Herewith a list, sometimes annotated, to be updated as and when I remember additional events.
The Lieutenant of Inishmore, at the Noel Coward Theatre, St Martin's Lane, London, August 2018. Martin McDonagh's very funny satire on the IRA and the INLA, in a well-acted production. The production was somewhat gory for my tastes.

The latest in a sequence of lists of recently-read books:
Anita Raghavan [2013]: The Billionaire's Apprentice: The Rise of the Indian-American Elite and the Fall of the Galleon Hedge Fund. (New York: Business Plus). This is a fascinating and excitingly-written account of the rise and fall of several people, many of them Americans of South Asian descent, associated with the activities of the Galleon hedge fund. First among these is billionaire Tamil-American Raj Rajaratnam, founder of Galleon, and convicted insider-trader. In the next tier are his many insider informants, primaily Rajat Gupta and Anil Kumar, both prominent partners of McKinsey and Company, a management consulting firm. Indeed, Gupta was three times elected global MD of McKinsey by his fellow partners, and thus the book has lots of fascinating information about The Firm and its operations, incidental to the main story.
Insider trading is a strange crime. Surely most traders engaged in trading for its own sake (and not hedging some activity or transaction in non-financial markets) seek to take advantage of something they know that others don't, even if it is just knowledge arising from more clever or faster analysis, or the knowledge that comes from aggregating views across multiple trades. And who, exactly, are the victims here, since any trading requires a willing counterparty? But even if insider-trading is not considered an evil, there is great dishonour in breaching confidences gained in positions of trust, and there seems little doubt that Rajaratnam's informants did that.
An odd feature of the book, where so many prominent Indian Americans and South-Asian businesspeople are name-checked, is the failure to mention Praful Gupta. As far as I am aware, the two Guptas were no relation, and met when they were fellow students at Harvard Business School. Rajat Gupta, in a newspaper interview in 1994, said they became and remained very good friends. While Rajat pursued a career with McKinsey, Praful became a management consultant and partner with Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and later a senior executive with Reliance Industries.
An annoying feature of the writing is the author's repeated confusion about tense. On page 217, for instance, we read, "In 2005, Lloyd Blankfein's predecessor and former secretary of the Treasury Henry M. "Hank" Paulson Jr. had approached Gupta about joining the Goldman board of directors." But Hank Paulson only became Secretary of the US Treasury in 2006, where he remained until January 2009. At the time this sentence was written by Raghavan in 2012 or 2013, Paulson was a former Treasury Secretary, but not in 2005, the time referred to at the opening of the sentence. There are similar instances of inaccurate or confused tense on pages 257, 288, 347, and 362, and no doubt more that I did not catch. These appear so frequently that one is tempted to consider them not mere lapses nor evidence of a non-grammatical linguistic style, but indicative of a more fundamental difference between the author's conceptualization of time and that of most speakers of English. There are also a number of confusions or ambiguities of subject and object, and of deictic markers, in sentences throughout the text.

Jason Matthews [2013]: Red Sparrow (New York: Simon & Schuster). A debut spy-thriller by a 33-year CIA clandestine service veteran, this book is well-written and gripping, with plot twists that are unexpected yet plausible. The book has placed the author in the same league of Le Carre and McCarry, and I recommend the book strongly. As so often with espionage and crime fiction, the main weakness is the characterization – the players are too busy doing things in the world for us to have a good sense of their personalities, especially so for the minor characters. Part of the reason for us having this sense, I think, is the sparsity of dialog through which we could infer a sense of personhood for each player. And the main character, Nate Nash, gets pushed aside in the second half of the book by the machinations of the other players. In any case, the ending of the book allows us to meet these folks again. Finally, I found the recipes which end each chapter an affectation, but that may be me. The author missed a chance for a subtle allusion with solo meal cooked by General Korchnoi, which I mis-read as pasta alla mollusc, which would have made it the same as the last meal of William Colby.
Henry A. Cumpton [2012]: The Art of Intelligence: Lessons from a Life in the CIA's Clandestine Service. (New York: Penguin). A fascinating account of a career in espionage. Crumpton reports an early foreign assignment in the 1980s in an African country which had had a war of liberation war, where the US had a close working relationship with the revolutionary Government of the country: The only candidates that seem to fit this bill are Zimbabwe or possibly Mozambique. Zimbabwe's ZANU-PF Government was so close to the USA in its early years that the Zimbabwe Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) had only two groups dealing with counter-subversion: a group seeking to counter South African subversion and a group seeking to counter Soviet subversion. Indeed, so great was the fear of Soviet subversion that the USSR was not permitted to open an embassy in Zimbabwe for the first two years following independence in 1980.
The book has four very interesting accounts:
1. Crumpton's perceptive reflections on the different cultures of CIA and FBI, which are summarized in this post.
2. The account of the preparations needed to design, build, deploy, and manage systems of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs, or drones) in Afghanistan. The diverse and inter-locking challenges – technical, political, strategic, managerial, economic, human, and logistic – are reminiscent of those involved in creating CIA's U2 spy-plane program in the 1950s (whose leader Richard Bissell I saluted here).
3. The development of integrated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for tactical anti-terrorist operations management in the early 2000s. What I find interesting is that this took place a decade after mobile telecommunications companies were using GIS for tactical planning and management of engineering and marketing operations. Why should the Government be so far behind?
4. An account of CIA's anti-terrorist programs prior to 11 September 2011, including the monitoring and subversion of Al-Qaeda. Given the extent of these programmes, it is now clear why CIA embarked on such an activist role following 9/11. George Tenet remarked at the time (in his memoirs) that such a role would mean crossing a threshold for CIA, but until Crumpton's book, I never understood why this enhanced role had been accepted at the time by US political leaders and military leaders. From Crumpton's account, the reason for their acceptance was that CIA was the only security agency ready to step up quickly at the time.
Paul Vallely [2013]: Pope Francis: Untying the Knots. (London, UK: Bloomsbury). A fascinating account of the man who may revolutionize the Catholic Church. Francis, first as Fr Jorge Bergoglio SJ and then as Archbishop and Cardinal, appears to have moved from right to left as he aged, to the point where he now embraces a version of liberation theology. His role during the period of Argentina's military junta of Jorge Videla is still unclear – he seems to have bravely hidden and help-escape leftist political refugees and activists, while at the same time, through dismissing them from Church protection, making other activitists targets of military actions.
Bergoglio seems to understand something his brother cardinals appear not to – that the Catholic Church (and other fundamentalist and evangelical Christian denominations) are not seen by the majority of people in the West any longer as places of saintliness, spiritual goodness, or charity, but as bastions of bigotry, irrationally opposed to individual freedom and to human happiness and fulfilment. In its campaigns against gay marriage rights, euthenasia, abortion, and other private moral issues, the Church opposes free will not only of its own clergy and lay members, but also of other citizens who are not even Catholic adherents. Such campaigns to limit the freedoms and rights of non-believers are presumptious, to say the least. The Catholic Church does a great deal of unremarked good in the world, work which is sullied and undermined by the political campaigns and bigoted public statements of its leaders.
The book is poorly written, with lots of repetition, and several chapters reprising the entire argument of the book, as if they had been stand-along newspaper articles. The author clearly thinks his readers have the minds of gold-fish, since interview subjects are introduced repeatedly with descriptions, as if for the first time.
The photo shows one of the demonstrations of the The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina, held weekly since 1977 to protest the junta's kidnap, torture, and murder of Argentinian citizens. We should not forget that the military regimes of South America, including the Argentinian junta of Videla, were supported not only by the Vatican and most local Catholic clergy (with some brave exceptions), but also by the US intelligence services, including during the administration of Jimmy Carter.

Sabrina Ionescu & Bo Han on the WNBA's Groundbreaking Deal With Buzzer
"Everything is about highlights, watching games," Ionescu told Boardroom. "I'm so excited to be a part of this and have an easy way for people to watch my games and highlights as well."
Sabrina Ionescu has a simple answer for why she is an investor in Buzzer, the mobile platform that makes it easier for fans to drop in and watch live sporting events during the most exciting moments:
"Because it's me. It's what I do."
Not only is the Liberty star one of the most exciting young pros in the world, but she is also a member of Gen Z — precisely the demographic that Buzzer knows it can attract to the WNBA — its first partner organization in women's sports — and the other leagues that will join the platform in the months and years to come.
"I stay on my phone. I watch highlights. [But] I'm also an athlete," Ionescu said in conversation with Boardroom's Ros Gold-Onwude and Buzzer founder/CEO Bo Han. "So I think it's really both of my worlds colliding in one, to just be able to watch my teammates, my mentors, everyone that's playing right now — whether it's my fellow friends in the NBA, whatever it is — just being able to tune in and support them just like they support me."
Ionescu and Gold-Onwude are far from the only big names to partner with Buzzer, however. Naomi Osaka, Renee Montgomery, J. Cole, and a host of others are also involved, seeing the platform as the perfect opportunity to put its partner leagues in front of a wider audience.
That's especially important to Ionescu.
"It's not really about just going out there and playing," she said. "I think the impact and the legacy that you're going to leave is really important as well. So I definitely wanted to just put myself out there, and figure out what I'm interested in, and what I like, and how I can help my brand, and Boardroom has helped me through that."
As Han puts it:
"When you're seeing that exciting game, what is that habit or that inclination you already have? You're telling somebody about it. You're not sitting alone on your couch just enjoying an incredible game yourself. You're texting your buddy, saying 'are you watching this game? Did you see that shot? Did you just see Sabrina's buzzer-beater?' So all we are doing is leaning into that habit that already exists. And so that becomes an incredible connecting tool, utilizing that connection that is already inherent in sports.
"You have this sudden euphoria where you're watching this in-the-moment, live. With, virtually, a group of friends. We're focused on speed, simplicity, and creating a fan-centric experience."

perfect product | Play catch with me?!?
Have you ever used or heard someone use a phrase similar to… "I've gotta keep working on this, I guess I'm a perfectionist!"?
I've witnessed perfectionists at work, I've lived with perfectionists and I've even claimed to be one (at one time in my life). As my life journey continues to advance, though, I've recognized an inherent danger with being a "perfection" chaser, so I steer away from using the word at all cost.
1. Delays- the perfectionist will work, rework and rework some more (all in the spirit of having the perfect product or project, but 9 out of 10 times, the "work" never gets completed).
2. Risk Aversion- I've witnessed "perfectionists" miss out on job opportunities because while they were writing the perfect resume, someone stepped passed them in line, applied, was willing to make a mistake or two and EARNED the job.
3. Missed experiences (business or otherwise) – I've watched businesses use the excuse of perfectionism, all the while they seem to be hiding from a fear of the unknown and their businesses stagnate for fear that their new expansion, product or service might not be "perfect".
Be willing to be "un-perfect", in every aspect of life. Be willing to take a risk, say "I don't know" and keep moving forward on life's path. In the long run, you'll end up more productive, gather more experiences and I feel that you'll be more innovative. Don't wait for perfection. In my opinion, it isn't worth the wait!


This acclaimed debut album is a melting pot of Blues and powerful funk, building upon the format of the classic American organ trios of the fifties and sixties, adding the influence of the blues guitar greats (a nod in the direction of benchmark players such as BB King, Albert Collins and Robben Ford) and mixing in funky instrumental workouts.
The result is a distinctive and highly charged sound, described by a music critic as "astonishingly mature for such a young group of musicians".
Paul Jones (BBC R2) on hearing the Matt Schofield Trio, said "I could be somewhere in America listening to an internationally known group, and I think they possibly will be".
Guitarist Magazine described Matt's guitar playing as "Dynamite" and Jonny Henderson's organ playing as "Sensational".
Blues Revue (published out of the USA and the world's premiere blues magazine) labelled Matt "a master of tone" and the CD "greasy and grand".
Vintage Guitar, America's premiere six string read, listed the CD in their VG Hit List calling it "a fine record".
The CD was recorded live at a single gig – no rehearsal, no retakes, no fixes, just straight to tape! That's what these guys are about – they excel in live performance, allowing the music to develop and grow spontaneously and there's something magical in the way the three gel, lifting one another to new heights.
NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS A PHYSICAL CD. DOWNLOAD ONLY.

IOTA FAQ
What is IOTA?
Islands On The Air (IOTA) is a programme designed to promote activity on the amateur bands in a way that provides enjoyment, fun and, if you want it, a challenge. Unlike the ARRL's DXCC Programme which majors on contacts with countries, IOTA has as its purpose the making of two way contacts with fellow amateurs located on islands worldwide. Yes, there are hundreds of thousand such islands but IOTA has corralled them into 1200 IOTA groups, some with just one qualifying island, usually a large one, and others with more than 100 qualifying islands. The aim is to make one confirmed contact with a station in each of the 1200 groups. Just over 1100 have so far been activated, with some very remote ones remaining to be visited. As many as 700 groups have in some years been put on the air, so there are plenty to work.
Where is the IOTA website?
The IOTA website can be found at https://iota-world.org.
How I get started with IOTA?
First, go to the RSGB IOTA website and register as a participant by completing the web form. This allows you to build an island score online. Then work island stations in 100 IOTA groups and get the QSL cards. If you work stations in the annual IOTA Contest and submit a log, you can avoid the need to get cards for contacts where the QSO details match up with your contacts. When you have worked 100 groups in all seven continents, submit an application online on the website to your Checkpoint detailing the contacts. Application acceptance leads to you being listed in IOTA's annual listings which are published on the RSGB IOTA website. From there you can progress with a higher score into the IOTA Honour Roll. At various stages there are incremental certificates to be gained as well as at the highest levels prestige awards.
Is IOTA international?
The mystique of islands is strong the world over and this makes the IOTA programme truly international in its reach. Just listen to the pile-ups generated by IOTA DXpeditioners—from Europe, the Americas, Japan and across Asia, in fact everywhere. No part of the world has failed to be reached by IOTA. As you read this, groups of aficionados somewhere are planning their next IOTA operation. With the internet, multinational teams can be assembled with an ease that could scarcely be dreamed about in years gone by. Resident amateurs in many countries are eager to cooperate with any project to activate islands in their area. Add to this the help and advice readily available from locally appointed IOTA Checkpoints and, where they exist, Regional IOTA Management Teams. By being an international programme, IOTA is your programme.
Is it IOTA or DXCC?
Go for both. Every contact with an IOTA island counts as a DXCC entity. Every contact with a DXCC island entity counts for IOTA. The two programmes are complementary. There is every reason to grow scores in both simultaneously. IOTA is not a multi-band programme—one contact with each group is enough—so chasing IOTA contacts should not be overly time-consuming. Many DXers opt to concentrate on DXCC until the pace of new ones reduces at which point they become interested in IOTA. This risks loss of contacts with the rarer IOTA groups that seldom receive visits. It's always best to work these when they are available.
Is IOTA a level playing field?
A diminishing number of IOTA enthusiasts have been pursuing islands from the start of the programme in 1964. The vast majority are recent enthusiasts. It is important that all island chasers have the opportunity to get to the top of the IOTA Honour Roll, dependent only on their own level of activity and operating prowess and on the islands being activated. If the IOTA Committee decides for any reason that a group has to be deleted, the credits will after an agreed period also be deleted. There is no 'Deleted IOTA Groups' list. This presents all participants with a level playing field.
Why cap the island list?
The concept of a level playing field (see previous FAQ) requires that new and existing participants do not feel the number of groups is ever-increasing and out of reach, or rather attainable only by those who have limitless time available. The cap of 1,200 groups is an important feature of the programme. Although constrained in this way, the list includes all or at least 99.9 percent of the islands of the world's oceans that meet IOTA qualification criteria and appear on a scale map of 1:1,000,000.
Where can I find IOTA contacts?
The main frequencies on SSB are 28.560, 28.460, 24.950, 21.260, 18.128, 14.260, 7.055 and 3.755MHz and on CW 28.040, 24.920, 21.040, 18.098, 14.040, 10.115 and 3.530MHz. No specific frequency has been nominated for 7MHz CW but it is recommended that operations should include a frequency above 7.025MHz when the band is open to North America. These frequencies are not reserved exclusively for the making of island contacts but are shared with others on a normal non-interference basis.

"It may be possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor.
But our merriment must be of that kind… which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously—no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.
I was thinking similar thoughts to this as I considered the destruction of the Notre Dame cathedral over the past two days. The loss of that incredible piece of art is simply unfathomable. And I was very glad to hear that the loss is not as bad as first reports led me to believe. I will be very glad if it is confirmed that the cause of the destruction was indeed accident, because I hope no one would wish to commit such a terrible act, or that those who do wish it would be prevented.
The Notre Dame Cathedral, like any incredible work of art, is not a person. In some ways, in fact, it is more than a person, because it has added to, inspired, and provided comfort for people in ways that another person simply cannot do. What art does is not what people do. If people could do what art does for people, then we would have no need for art. So it is not wrong to mourn the loss, nor to be shocked and saddened by it. Hardly any person could mean what great art means to so many people.
And yet, in the end, the Notre Dame Cathedral is so much less than a person. It is unique, and complex, and storied, and ancient. But speaking as an educated man, I know that it is less, not more complex than a single human being. Speaking as a Christian, I am bound to profess that not all the works of art on the planet can be equal to the story of a single unique human soul wrought by the Creator. And as Lewis reminds us, its ancientry is nothing measured against eternity.
The real tragedy is not that Notre Dame has burned. Not even if it burned to the foundations and was lost as utterly as the Library Of Alexandria. The real tragedy is that all of us not only assent to, but actively participate in, burning and destroying each other's souls every day. Social media is only the most obvious battlefield.
I do not think that in our fallen world we can do otherwise. Scripture itself tells us that the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. So many of our temples are desecrated, by others and by themselves. Some of us seem determined to burn ourselves down. Our problem is that we live amid an embarrassment of riches: there are eight billion of us, and so many die, or worse, every day, that we can only notice the loss of those that are especially "valuable" (God, what a blasphemy) to the majority or to those in power. Or those who are close to us. Notre Dame we can notice: there is only one of it.
We know we must do better than this. The barest vestige of moral sense demands it. But it is beyond us. To do otherwise than as we do would be to be perfect. It is, in fact, not enough to do "better." Ten times better, or a hundred, would still leave countless eternal souls burned and destroyed. Would still leave us walking amid the suffering shells of living cathedrals. But this alone should awake us to the terror of our state. To make us cry out for a Savior who can reconcile us to the God whose eternal children we daily destroy.
I suppose that this is why I wrote this. I am under no illusion that a blog post will stop human suffering, nor cause our species as a whole to stop doing what we do so well. But waking up one person? Well, maybe.
Postscript Note: I realize, of course, that not all readers will share my faith. Discussion is invited. Trolling is not, and will be removed or simply not allowed. Thank you.

Contemplating the Future of a DHS Campus at St. Elizabeth's
September 04, 2017 by David Olive
Almost lost in the continuous news stories of the damage delivered by Hurricane Harvey (and the heroic way that private citizens and government officials were responding to it) were two stories that may have a significant impact on the operations of the Department of Homeland Security for at least two decades to come. I refer to the decisions by General Services Administration (GSA) and DHS to authorize new headquarters buildings for two of the larger DHS components, TSA and USCIS.
In the case of TSA, a new 625,000 sq. ft. building will be constructed near the metro station in Springfield, Virginia, adjacent to GSA property that many believed would be an ideal location for a new FBI headquarters. TSA will lease the new building for 15 years, with additional 5-year options. The USCIS headquarters building will have a bit more than 500,000 sq. ft., which GSA leased for a minimum of 15 years at One Town Center in Camp Springs, Maryland (near the Branch Avenue Metro Station), according to the USCIS press release last week.
The decisions appear to put a kink in the plans of those who wanted to move DHS' headquarters and components to the St. Elizabeth's campus in southeast DC. The Trump Administration FY18 budget recommended funding to move FEMA to St. E's (as it is called) when its lease expires, as well as a small amount for overall facilities planning. As Federal News Radio's Jason Miller noted:
"The fact GSA signed a 15-year lease leaves one to wonder about the status of the Homeland Security Department's headquarters consolidation project at the St. Elizabeth's campus in Washington.
"According to GSA's 2015 prospectus, TSA was part of Phase 3 along with the Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement directorates.
"GSA estimated Phase 3 would cost $629 million and be completed by 2026, which is less than 15 years from now."
As Congress comes back to town this week to deal with a range of politically thorny issues, such as the debt ceiling, Hurricane Harvey recovery and the overall FY18 budget, someone on the Hill needs to ask a few questions about what is going to happen at St. Elizabeth's. Is the real estate market so soft in DC that signing long-term leases in a location away from St. E's will save DHS significant money in the long run? Is it better to build a new headquarters' building, like TSA is doing, or is it smarter to lease existing buildings, like USCIS has done? Given the money FEMA will need to respond to Hurricane Harvey (and who knows what will happen if Hurricane Irma hits the United States with the ferocious intensity that some are predicting), can they get a better deal by finding a lease that will save them money over a new facility at St. E's?
There are lots of questions that will be asked about DHS budget in the coming weeks. I hope that at least one or two will be about how the previous discussion of consolidation at St. E's appears to be changing.

HOUSING ESTATE DEVELOPMENT COMPLETES WITH BRIDGING LOAN
3rd January 2019 Newscomplete with bringing loan, funding, housing developmentColette Lowe
Holme Finance Bridging Solutions (HFBS) ensure building can complete on a housing estate development site valued at £900,000 with a £50,000 bridging loan.
With buyers lined up for the first two of a select development of six homes, foundations were rocked when the property developer's go-to funding partner, a crown funding company, found themselves unable to advance the funds as quickly as required to enable to completion of the first two homes.
With the option of waiting for funds, and the knock-on consequence of losing the significant sales of the first two properties, the developer had no choice but to seek alternative funding, and quickly.
Dan Yendall-Collings, senior undewriter at HFBS says: "Our unique ability to complete quickly comes into its own again. The developer couldn't wait for funds to complete the properties, it was an urgent need that could have had devastating consequences if not approved.
"We took the enquiry on a Thursday, prepared the relevant documents the same day, visitied the site Friday and paid out the folllowing Monday morning. With a three day turnaround, and minimal site downtime, the progress of the development was saved."
With an average completion taking less than seven days from enquiry to money in the bank, no solicitor involvement, no minimum valuation, and entirely privately funded, no bank mandates, no fixed rules, HFBS really mean business.
HFBS offer one the LOWEST second mortgage rates in the bridging finance market starting at just 0.95% month on advances from £5,000. HFBS Bridging Solutions have been advancing short-term funds, via a limited panel of intermediaries, for over 15 years with complete authority on their lending. Simpler, quicker, cheaper.

With $700 million, Black Panther is this year's highest grossing film so far. That may make it eligible for a new Oscar.
Have you ever been frustrated that none of the movies you go see are nominated for Academy Awards? Well, hypothetically, that's about to change.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced today that it is going to add an award "for outstanding achievement in popular film." What does that mean? "Eligibility requirements and other key details will be forthcoming," according to the release in the Hollywood Reporter.
It's no secret that the Academy has been trying to come up with ways to beef up the viewership of the Oscars. That was the impetus behind the Academy extending the number of Best Picture nominees from five to a possible 10 about a decade ago. However, since that change, those extra five slots have not always gone to more "popular" films. Instead, we've seen more small, critically acclaimed films end up in the category, which almost makes it more frustrating for a viewer who now hasn't maybe seen up to 10 of the nominees instead of five.
A lot of big questions come with this announcement. For instance, what constitutes a popular movie? Box office? Who in the Academy will decide that? What qualifies them to judge popularity? And, once they do, will members vote on which movies are most popular or which is the best of the popular movies? And if these movies are so good, why aren't they also winning Best Picture? If a Best Picture contender is popular, does that make it eligible for either category? And how will history view a film that wins an Academy Award that seems like it isn't based on artistic merit?
This is just weird. Very weird. And we think, potentially, a bad idea—in contrast to the very good idea of continuing to diversify members of the Academy, which has already slowly been happening. Presumably, good and popular films will continue to organically make it into the other categories as the voting base becomes more varied and eclectic. If that happens, why force certain movies into what feels like an afterthought category?
Other changes are an Oscar ceremony that's guaranteed to only run three hours (we'll see about that), which is meant to be achieved by presenting "select categories live, in the Dolby Theatre, during commercial breaks (categories to be determined); the winning moments will then be edited and aired later in the broadcast." The Oscars will also have an earlier air date starting in 2020.
What do you think about this popularity development?
Update 4 p.m. August 8: The Academy has clarified a few questions about this new category. First, it will begin with the upcoming Oscars in February 2019. Second, films are indeed eligible for both Best Picture and Best Popular Picture. Third, they hope the award celebrates "broad-based consideration of excellence in all films." Well, two of of three pieces of info ain't bad.
