Aerial surveillance by Baltimore police has promise, should be studied more, report concludes
By Kevin Rector
| The Baltimore Sun |
In part because of investigative successes during a pilot program last summer, a new report determined aerial surveillance "has the potential for increasing the clearance of crimes and reducing the cost of criminal investigations" in Baltimore.
Footage collected as part of a secret aerial surveillance program in Baltimore last year supplied police with hundreds of potential leads in an array of crimes and significantly advanced investigations of seven shootings and three homicides, according to a new analysis of the program.
In one unidentified homicide case, the footage shot from a high-flying plane helped police identify four "primary people or vehicles" at the scene, pointing investigators to nearby ground-level cameras that provided additional suspects and witnesses, the report found.
Partly because of those successes, such surveillance "has the potential for increasing the clearance of crimes and reducing the cost of criminal investigations," the police research organization that produced the report concluded. The Washington-based Police Foundation recommended that the city conduct "a rigorous evaluation" next to determine whether the program could be adopted in a cost-efficient, effective and transparent way.
"Baltimore's leadership must decide if the technology employed by the [the surveillance program] is worth the inherent challenges in using it," the foundation concluded in the report. "They must determine — ideally with the assistance of a rigorous scientific evaluation — if they can effectively control crime with this program in a way that also increases community trust and confidence in the police."
The report, the first formal review of the surveillance program, comes as the Baltimore Police Department is considering whether to move forward with aerial surveillance after its pilot program last year, conducted in partnership with the Ohio-based private contractor Persistent Surveillance Systems, created a storm of criticism.
The Police Department has not yet made a decision on "the future use" of aerial surveillance, said T.J. Smith, a police spokesman, and will "comb through this report" before it does.
"From the onset of this, our goal was to experiment with a potential crime-fighting and crime-solving tool. The report reflected that," he said. "We used the technology on a diverse array of crimes to understand its value to the entire city of Baltimore."
Police officials have said they would also seek broad public input before beginning a permanent program.
The program used a bank of cameras mounted inside a small Cessna airplane flown at roughly 8,000 feet above the city to capture footage of 32 square miles at a time over the course of hundreds of hours last year.
The program was not disclosed initially to the public, then-Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the City Council, local and state elected officials, prosecutors or public defenders — many of whom slammed the Police Department for its lack of transparency. Civil liberties advocates said the program invaded individuals' privacy, making it possible for police to track residents in the city for hours on end without warrants and with little to no oversight.
Police officials, including Commissioner Kevin Davis, have said the program was not a secret, but merely an expansion of the CitiWatch system of cameras mounted on light poles and buildings. Still, they acknowledged, the department could have done a better job of informing key stakeholders.
They and Ross McNutt, president of Persistent Surveillance, have said that individuals cannot be identified through the low-resolution footage collected and that privacy policies prevent abuse.
David Rocah, senior staff attorney at the ACLU of Maryland, said Friday that those claims don't hold up under scrutiny, and neither does the Police Foundation report.
"What's glaringly omitted is any recognition about the privacy impact and societal impact of giving the government the power of knowing where everyone goes every time they leave their house, because that's what this means," he said of the surveillance program.
"If the only lens you look at is, 'Can this be useful?' then I think you are entirely missing the point," Rocah said.

Warrantless searches and wiretaps would be "useful in crime solving" as well, he said, "but in a constitutional democracy we don't let the police do them because the societal costs are too high."
The Police Foundation helped administer a $360,000 donation by Houston-based philanthropists Laura and John Arnold to help fund the pilot program. The foundation was not paid as part of that arrangement, but was granted the right to conduct its review. It said the work was in line with its mission "to advance policing through innovation and science."
Its report found that, between June and August, the program produced investigative files in a total of five homicides, 15 shootings, three stabbings and a rape, as well as dozens of other incidents — from dirt bike complaints to illegal dumping. Analysts were able to determine which driver was at fault in 35 traffic accidents, including identifying suspects in 10 hit-and-run incidents.
Asked about those cases, Smith said police "look forward to continuing to work through the judicial process with successful prosecutions."
In some instances, police investigators hesitated to use information gleaned from the surveillance program for "fear that, until cleared by the state's attorney's office, use of persistent surveillance data could compromise their investigations," the report found.

Prosecutors were briefed on the program in August. Public defenders, when they learned of it, challenged the department on its lack of transparency and raised questions about their own access to the footage, which they argued could contain information to help clear their clients.
Other police investigators who used the technology "expressed support and interest" in it, the report found. One homicide investigator, for example, found the technology to be a "significant timesaver," quickly pointing him to relevant CitiWatch footage that otherwise would have taken several weeks to find, the report found.
"Use of the data enabled him to view the routes of vehicles and people in the area and efficiently determine which cameras to review for key footage," the report found.
In addition, the surveillance data helped investigators "verify witness accounts, therefore saving time otherwise spent chasing down bad leads."
Such efficiencies could help the department, which plans to conduct a broad staffing analysis as part of reforms outlined in a proposed consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice. The department recently reassigned 100 officers to patrol because of staffing shortages there, and detectives are swamped with cases as violence in the city continues at a fever pitch. There has been more than a killing per day so far in 2017, after record homicide levels the past two years.

The Police Foundation found "no evidence to contradict" the Police Department's position that the surveillance program was "never intended to be secretive," and determined that "it is more likely that the BPD's perceived lack of candor was simply the result of bureaucratic misunderstanding."
While "civic leaders should always be attentive to the potential, unintentional harm to individuals, communities or the public's sense of confidence and trust in the police that well-meaning crime control strategies can produce," police "do not always have the luxury of waiting until research yields scientific evidence about the efficacy of a particular approach," the report said. "When people are dying the police must act to stop the violence — even when doing so carries a degree of political risk."
Despite the "community tension" over Freddie Gray's death from injuries suffered in police custody in 2015 and the Justice Department's investigation of the Police Department, the department's leadership "appeared to place its personal and professional self-interests aside to test persistent surveillance as one means of impacting the increasing violence," the report found. "This is the hallmark of courageous leadership and should be acknowledged (the lack of clarity regarding the implementation of the program notwithstanding)."
The ACLU's Rocah found such praise of police leadership for launching what he considered a secret program "unbelievable."
Rocah said if the Police Foundation found no evidence of the Police Department's intent to keep the program secret, then "one has ample reason to question their skill at evaluation, investigation and assessment, because the evidence is right there in black and white."
The report offered seven recommendations to the department if it decides to move forward with aerial surveillance, including offering opportunities for public input.
It said the department should explain the program clearly to the public; commit to rigorous evaluation by a "competent research partner"; and get an outside opinion on the program's constitutionality.
The department should also implement "transparency and accountability measures"; provide proper training to those who will use the technology; ensure data is properly collected; and conduct a policy analysis to ensure continuity between the aerial surveillance program and other, similar programs.
Smith said the Police Department agrees with the recommendations.
If the department doesn't move forward with the program, it should still develop a "guidebook" for other departments considering such technology, the report said.

« Fall Holiday Inspiration Boards and Zuka Updates!
Fall Holiday 2013 ready to Launch!
The first of the three collections is Nomadic Jewel…think Game of Thrones…gorgeous teals, greens and woods on silver metal. I love this particular collection for it's raw and textured pieces. This whole Fall collection really has a medieval feel to it, is it my obsession with Game of Thrones or do I just love this era?
This collection is called Renaissance…rich tones of hunter green jade stones, regal purple faceted Czech glass and amethyst faceted teardrop stones on antique gold metal. Once again medieval but more royal than raw. It's beautiful and elegant.
This is Anarchy, dark and mysterious…ink black onyx stones, black metal crosses and leather barbed wire. An edgy look, part medieval…part rock. Of course always in need of some sparkle, the collection is sprinkled with Swarovski silver night crystals in various sizes. All of the metal is gunmetal.


The dollar/yen edged higher on Tuesday afternoon, recovering some positions from early hour losses. As of 13:20 the pair traded at 110.17, adding 0.22 percent.
The pair came under pressure in Asian hours as market players continued to run away from risky assets, as some high-impact events are still on the calendar.
In fact, all eyes right now are pointing at the two-day June monetary policy meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee. The US regulator is likely to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to a range between 1.00 and 1.25 percent. If so, it would become the second move in the year and expectations for a new hike would move to September.
As usually happens before central bank meetings, trading volumes are trending low, notably below average ahead of Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen's press conference. Investors are hoping to receive more information on the future plans for the economy and an update on forecasts.
The USDJPY ended Monday's session at 109.928, taking a loss of 0.35 percent, with US equities plunging for a second-straight session due to the technology sector.
The data front remains thin, with no relevant reports on the Asian session nor on the American one, expect for the producers price index, which came in unchanged for May.
After the Fed meeting, attention will turn to the Bank of Japan policy gathering on Thursday. The bank is expected to keep rates steady, but the rhetoric will be under heavy scrutiny.

Q: ubuntu on mac-mini: shell script to fix my screen-resolution? I have Ubuntu installed in two machines: a laptop and a Mac Mini. While in the Laptop the screen is fine, on Mac Mini the resolutions option showing are only two and neither match perfectly well. Currently it shows the option: 1024x768 or 800x600.
It is a LED monitor Philips 24" (61cm) model 244EL2. I have never got such similar problem when running Ubuntu on PC. Is it a problem of drivers, related with Apple Mac Mini?
I wonder if some bash script could get this thing fixed? Or if someone could suggest a recipe on this?

A: I got with a similar problem some time ago. The only thing that got it fixed for me was to replace the grub with rEFInd. Basically, after having started your Ubuntu, download the rEFInd for linux, and install it. Then reboot and when you login again, the screen resolution should got automatically fixed to the optimal possible match for your monitor.

Boston Scientific's Latitude NXT, a wireless remote patient management system that works with a handful of the medical device company's pacemakers, has officially launched in Europe where a hospital in Italy implanted a Latitude-enabled pacemaker in a heart patient. The patient received an Ingenio SR pacemaker and a home-based wireless communicator. Latitude NXT is still pending FDA review for the US market.
The Latitude NXT system works with two other devices besides Ingenio SR pacemakers -- Advantio pacemakers and Invive cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers.
Latitude NXT offers GSM cellular connectivity as an option. The system makes it easy for healthcare professionals to access information about their patients' real-time pacemaker information. It also enables alert notifications via text messaging or email and it can integrate with some EMRs, too. Boston Scientific believes the EMR integration saves clinicians about 15 minutes, which is how long it takes to manually enter routine device follow-up data into EMRs.
Notably, Boston Scientific also offers wireless-enabled weight scales and blood pressure monitors for patients on its Latitude NXT system. This suite of devices helps physicians better monitor relevant biometrics. The system can also help doctors monitor respiratory and sleep apnea trending, according to the company.
Earlier this month Boston Scientific announced that the Ingenio pacemakers that will be able to connect to the Latitude NXT system in the future, have already rolled out in the US.
St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City was among those healthcare facilities to first give patients the connected technology. In its St. Luke announcement, Boston Scientific explained that the system would "let physicians conduct remote follow-ups of these device patients to monitor specific device information and heart health status." The medtech company also noted that "the system will also detect clinical events between scheduled visits and send relevant data directly to a secure website, which can be accessed by physicians. This wireless technology will allow patients to transmit data to physicians from most locations in North America without the need for landline-based technology."
PRESS RELEASE: NATICK, Massachusetts and PARIS, June 14, 2012 -- Next-generation wireless remote patient management system enabled for INGENIO[TM]family of pacemakers is now in use in Europe. Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) has initiated use of the LATITUDE NXT Remote Patient Management System with patients in Europe.
Dr. Roberto Verlato, head of cardiology at Camposampiero Hospital in Verona, Italy initiated use of the LATITUDE NXT system with a patient implanted with an INGENIO™ SR pacemaker, and provided the patient with a new home-based wireless communicator.
"We welcome the next-generation LATITUDE NXT system as it provides pacemaker patients with a simple and easy-to-use communicator that may replace certain in-clinic follow-up visits. The system offers clinicians the most comprehensive suite of diagnostic tools in the CRM industry to support proactive treatment decisions and provide an opportunity to verify improvement of clinical outcomes, as was demonstrated for ICD and CRT-D patients in the ALTITUDE Survival study," said Dr. Verlato.
The LATITUDE NXT website and patient communicator merge key features from the trusted LATITUDE system with new features requested by physicians and patients, and is fully compatible with Boston Scientific's advanced pacemaker family: INGENIO™ and ADVANTIO™ pacemakers and INVIVE™ cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers (CRT-P).
LATITUDE NXT offers patients a simplified experience with wireless and automatic remote follow-up and optional integrated cellular GSM connectivity, providing patients with greater convenience than existing systems. In addition, LATITUDE NXT features a unique communicator-initiated device interrogation which is designed to minimize impact on implanted device battery longevity, potentially giving patients greater peace of mind.
LATITUDE NXT offers health care professionals a system that provides convenient online access to relevant pacemaker patient information, and flexibility and control in how clinicians receive and review data. The LATITUDE NXT system features alert notification options such as SMS message or email, simple website administration, and integration with the hospital medical database (electronic medical records, or EMR) to automate hospital workflow - which could save up to 15 minutes for each patient transmission, the average time it takes to manually enter routine device follow-up data into an EMR system.
LATITUDE NXT is compatible with the wireless weight scale and blood pressure monitor from Boston Scientific. Physicians can choose to remotely monitor a series of relevant health status indicators including weight and blood pressure, as well as respiratory and sleep apnea trending. By providing access to this diagnostic information, LATITUDE NXT enables physicians to risk-stratify patients to more confidently make informed, proactive treatment decisions.
"We are proud to enhance the level of support available to pacemaker patients by offering the state-of-the-art LATITUDE NXT system. An increasing percentage of patients needing cardiac rhythm therapy are indicated for pacemakers, and we are pleased to continue to innovate technology to support positive patient outcomes and quality of life," said Michael Onuscheck, senior vice president and president of EMEA for Boston Scientific.
Pacemakers are designed to treat bradycardia, a condition in which the heart beats too slowly - usually less than 60 beats per minute - depriving the body of sufficient oxygen.
For more news about Boston Scientific at Cardiostim 2012, please follow us on Twitter @bsc_eu_heart ().
The LATITUDE NXT Remote Patient Management System is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is currently not available for sale in the United States.

ASMCF Conference (Association for the Study of Modern and Contemporary France): Work & Play
From the Tennis Court Oath to Nuit Debout, work and play have been instrumental in organising socio-political life in the French Republic. Culturally too, work and play are formative of identity, inviting reflection on the power relations at stake in the construction and deconstruction of identities. This conference seeks to bring together a broad range of disciplinary approaches to consider theories, representations, practices and interconnections of work and play in France and the rest of the French-speaking world. Traversing sociological, political, anthropological as well as aesthetic and cultural spheres, the conference theme is intended to stimulate debate across a far-reaching horizon of enquiry.

The Return of the Repressed
Brian Fitzgerald was born in Limerick city in 1983, grew up and was educated there. Brian holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art from Limerick School of Art and Design and an MA in Fine Art Printmaking from the University of the Arts, London. He resides and works in London with his wife. He is currently represented by the well established Salon Gallery, Nottinghill, West London. He has successfully exhibited both in the UK and in Ireland. Brian has also been marked down to show in New York in May at the pretigious 'UK Future Greats' group show at the White Box gallery.
The Normoyle Frawley Gallery is ideally located as this is the area in which Brian grew up and is where the source of the work originates, 'it would be nice to be able to bring it back to where it started'.
Fitzgerald's work explores the subjectivity of his identity, becoming concerned with investigating the social, cultural and historical baggage influencing the growth of his "self".

North Metro is proud to partner with AJ Novick Group to offer Over-The-Phone Drug & Alcohol Evaluations in Alaska.
No one looks forward to a professional evaluation. Most of our clients are worried about what a counselor will tell them or even insist that they don't have a problem. That may be so! Plenty of people are required to complete an assessment in Alaska for drug court, traffic court, or even for their jobs…talking to a counselor for an hour about your substance use doesn't make you a junkie and it doesn't make you an alcoholic. Plenty of sober, productive people must complete evaluations in Alaska each and every week.
If you need to sign up for an evaluation, do so now. There are a limited number of counselors and Alaska's drug and alcohol crime rates are far higher than the national average – don't lose your spot. Evaluations only take about an hour and they're cheaper than you think. There's no reason to wait when you could get this part of your sentencing out of the way today.
The best part is, North Metro works with distance counselors who can help you schedule your assessment for drugs and alcohol in Alaska over the phone. You may even be able to complete your appointment via Skype, depending on where you live. Since so many cities in AK are so far flung it's often impossible to drive to an actual evaluation center. Let us help make the whole experience simpler and easier.
Alaska has alarmingly high rates of drug and alcohol use and also injuries related to these behaviors. A professional evaluation can help you identify risks or clear your name – you can count on these appointments to be totally unbiased and professional. Talk to your counselor today.
You can trust our team of qualified counselors to provide you with a totally unbiased evaluation in Alaska. They understand your busy schedule and your need for a quick, confidential assessment.
Don't let the fear of running into someone you know stop you from completing your Alaska drug and alcohol requirements. Our online programs are always 100% confidential so you can be sure your identity is protected from prying eyes.
Our partners provide the very best online alcohol and drug evaluations in AK at rates you can always afford!
Have a packed schedule? Get your evaluation done over the phone or even using Skype to save yourself a bundle in gas money and inconvenience. With a limited number of evaluation centers in AK, remote assessments just make the most sense.

Point of sale (POS) displays are one of the most important forms of tobacco marketing still permitted in many countries. Reliable methods for measuring exposure to such displays are needed in order to assess their potential impact, particularly on smoking attitudes and uptake among young people. In this study we use a novel method for evaluating POS exposure based on young people's use of retail outlets and recall of tobacco displays and observational data on the characteristics of displays.
Observational audit of retail outlets (n = 96) and school-based pupil survey (n = 1482) in four Scottish communities reflecting different levels of social deprivation and urbanisation, conducted in 2013 before legislation to remove POS displays was implemented in supermarkets.
Measures were taken of: visibility and placement of tobacco displays; internal and external advertising; display unit size, branding and design; visibility of pack warnings; proximity of tobacco products to products of potential interest to children and young people; pupils' self-reported frequency of visiting retail outlets; and pupils' recall of tobacco displays. Variation in POS exposure across social and demographic groups was assessed.
Displays were highly visible within outlets and, in over half the stores, from the public footway outside. Tobacco products were displayed in close proximity to products of interest to children (e.g. confectionery, in 70% of stores). Eighty percent of pupils recalled seeing tobacco displays, with those from deprived areas more likely to recall displays in small shops. When confectioners, tobacconists and newsagents (CTNs) and grocery/convenience stores (two of the outlet types most often visited by young people) were examined separately, average tobacco display unit sizes were significantly larger in those outlets in more deprived areas.
POS displays remain a key vector in most countries for advertising tobacco products, and it is important to develop robust measures of exposure. The data reported in this paper provide a baseline measure for evaluating the efficacy of legislation prohibiting such displays.

Q: Is there a blank theme framework compatible with WP 3.0? I don't feel like making my own theme from scratch, so I looked for some theme frameworks, but they're all old and when I install them on WP 3.0 they produce loads of errors and don't behave properly. I just need a 3.0 ready blank theme with the bare elements (just text, but functional) to then shape myself into a good looking blog. Thanks in advance.

A: From what I understand Starkers 3.0 fits the bill. Do you want something this naked, or less?

A: I know that the Genesis theme framework is 3.0 compatible, and utilizes many features such as custom nav menus and featured images. studiopress.com/themes/genesis - it is a premium theme, is supported, and gets regular updates.
Thematic is also 3.0 compatible, if your not looking for a premium theme framework. Check out themeshaper.com/thematic/
If you are into the whole BuddyPress thing, check out Buddymattic at wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddymatic

A: The new default TwentyTen is always a very start, because it has best support for the new 3.0 theme features.
If you feel more HTML5-y, Toolbox is your theme.

A: Roots is a blank theme with a lot going for it - HTML5 Boilerplate + Blueprint CSS + more.
http://www.rootstheme.com/

A: I was going to suggest the Starkers theme too, it's worth pointing out that Starkers is a stripped back version of the default Twenty 10 theme that comes with WordPress 3. I only mention this as it may be useful to use that as a starting point for WordPress 3.0 site development from the perspective of seeing what the new features are like.

A: I use Genesis and it was just updated to work with 3.0. It is a framework and you can build child themes on.

A: I agree that Genesis is worth a look. I also use, and like a lot, Builder from iThemes.

A: I have used Thesis theme which serves as a framework too and I like it a lot.

A: Hybrid with Skeleton child theme is good combination to make use of framework, but start with minimal design.

A: You may also want to take a look at Bones. Although it's arguably not a bare theme, the idea is to cut it back to what you need. it's only fairly new and certainly works with WP 3.0

A: Check Blank Theme by Chris Coyier[css-tricks.com].

A: WP Basis ist als a theme for this job.

Inverse Transformation of Elliptical Relative State Transition Matrix

Received 30 May 2014; revised 28 June 2014; accepted 25 July 2014
A new set of relative orbit elements (ROEs) is used to derive a new elliptical formation flying model in previous work. In-plane and out-of-plane relative motions can be completely decoupled, which benefits elliptical formation design. In order to study the elliptical control strategy and perturbation effects, it is necessary to derive the inverse transformation of the relative state transition matrix based on relative orbit elements. Poisson bracket theory is used to obtain the linear transformations between the two representations: the relative orbit elements and the geocentric orbital frame. In this paper, the details of these transformations are presented.
Relative Orbit Elements, Elliptical Formation Flying, Relative State Transition Matrix, Inverse Transformation, Poisson Bracket
In previous papers, an alternative method to study the dynamics of elliptical formation flying based on a new set of relative orbit elements was presented. The new relative orbit elements are very useful to obtain the geometric characteristics of relative motion. The principle of the method is simple. To make the ROE-based method more understandable, it is necessary to derive the transformations between the two representations: the relative orbit elements and the geocentric orbital frame.
Historically, the first article that presented these transformations was [1] , but the author did not use them for relative motion. Other transformations were used by Garrison et al. [2] to obtain the equations of the relative motion for an elliptical reference orbit. Alfriend proposed another way to obtain the transformations and introduced another set of orbital elements in Reference [3] . Using Alfriend's method, also called geometric method, Gim [4] introduced J2 perturbations and Sengupta introduced second order effects [5] . This solution has none of the drawbacks of Hill and Lawden equations. It can take into account second order effects, eccentric reference orbit, and perturbations. This solution is very well-adapted for control and navigation. Fontdecaba [6] used the Poisson brackets [7] to have transformations between the two representations: the difference of orbital elements and the local orbital frame.
Using the spherical geometry, Han's relative orbit elements are strictly defined through the employment of a projection rule [8] . A new elliptical relative motion model with no singularity problem based on the relative or- bit elements is derived [9] [10] . Although the relative orbit elements are derived very differently from the dif- ferences of orbital elements, the transformation between the two methods can also be obtained. In order to ana- lyze the perturbation effects and the control strategy, the inverse transformation of relative state transition matrix is greatly needed. Poisson brackets method is used to derive the inverse transformation in this paper.
The structure of the paper is as follows. The first section is the introduction. The second section will briefly introduce the new set of relative orbit elements, which are relative average drift rate, relative eccentricity vector, relative inclination vector, and difference of mean argument of latitude. The transformation between the relative orbit elements and the difference of orbital elements is given. Then the elliptical relative motion model based on the improved ROE theory is derived. The inverse transformation of the relative state transition matrix is ob- tained to analyze the perturbation effects and control strategy in the third section. The end is the conclusion.
2. Relative Motion Equations
2.1. Related Coordinate Systems
1) is spacecraft-centered local vertical local horizontal coordinate system, with -axis pointing to Earth's center, -axis perpendicular to -axis in the direction of the instantaneous velocity and -axis per- pendicular to the orbit plane.
2) is Earth-centered node coordinate system, with -axis pointing toward ascending node, -axis in the direction of the moment of orbit motion, and -axis completing the right-hand rule in the orbit plane.
3) is geocentric orbital coordinate system, with -axis pointing to spacecraft, -axis in the direction of the moment of orbit motion, and -axis completing the right-hand rule in the orbit plane.
4) is Earth-centered inertial coordinate system, with -axis pointing to the vernal equinox, -axis fixed at celestial pole, and -axis completing the right-hand rule in the equatorial plane.
2.2. Definition of Relative Orbit Elements
As introduced in the classical Keplerian orbits, the movement of a satellite is mathematically described by six quantities, called orbital elements, which are semi-major axis, , eccentricity, , inclination, , right ascen- sion of ascending node, , argument of perigee, , and mean anomaly, . For the relative motion between two close satellites, which means , is the relative distance, some simplifications can be made. Through first-order linear expansion, the relative orbit elements can be expressed as [8]
where is the mean motion of the satellite, . is gravitational coefficient. In this paper, the
quantities referred to the chief satellite are denoted by , and those related to the deputy satellite by . The subscript means the subscript 0 or 1. These 6 parameters in Equation (1) can be described as relative aver-
age drift rate , relative eccentricity vector , relative inclination vector , and difference of mean argument of latitude . They are also called the relative orbit elements of the deputy sa- tellite with respect to the chief satellite.
Equation (1) can be written as following
The orbital elements in Equation (2) are all referred to the orbital elements of the chief satellite. In the remainder of the paper, the subscript 0 will be omitted unless declared. Let
then Equation (2) can be written as
Seen from Equation (3), the transformation between the relative orbit elements and the difference of orbital elements can be obtained.
2.3. Relative Motion Equations
Seen from Figure 1, using the method of coordinate transfer and one?order linear expansion, the linear ROE- based relative motion equations expressed in the frame of the chief satellite can be easily derived as
Figure 1. Relative motion relationship of two satellites.
where , is the epoch time. is the position vector in frame and .
Using the first derivative of Equation (4) with respect to time , the velocity equations of elliptical relative motion can be expressed as
where , .
Equation (4) and Equation (5) are referred as the elliptical relative motion equations.
3. The Inverse Transformation
3.1. Relative State Transition Matrix
Equation (4) and Equation (5) can be rewritten as the form of state transition matrix as bellow
The inverse matrix can be expressed as
Then the following equations can be obtained
3.2. Solving
Let , , , , is an angle chosen at will and . Lane and Axelrad [11] has given the expressions of as shown in Equation (9). The relative state vector can be changed to , which is obtained by coordinate transformation without considering correlative velocity. Afterwards, let , which can be expressed in Equation (10).
Combining Equation (9) and Equation (10), the equations shown in Equation (11) can be obtained.
where .
Poisson brackets of orbital elements are well-known, which can be expressed as followings
Then the Poisson Matrix can be written as
Let , according to , the expression of can be obtained as
Formula can be used in order to derive . Let
Afterwards, , hence can be expressed as
According to Equation (2), Equation (8) and Equation (12), the expressions of can be easily obtained. This method leads to very simple results, and easy to simplify. can be expressed in two ways: including and without . The detailed results are given in Appendix A.
Obviously the in-plane and out-of-plane motions can be decoupled based on the relative orbit elements. Using and , the initial relative position and relative velocity can be used to describe the relative trajectory too.
Equation (16) is equivalent to Lawden's equations but with a much higher accuracy. Meanwhile the introduction of the integrals as in Lawden's equations is avoided. The finite difference form can be obtained to design control strategy as follow
Take as perturbation acceleration , the equations above would become differential equations. Based on the differential equations and the finite difference form, the perturbation effects and control problem can be easily solved.
4. Numerical Simulations
In this section, a numerical simulation is proposed to demonstrate the performance of the ROEs-based relative motion equations. Suppose that at the beginning the chief and deputy satellites have the same location and velocity in space. The two satellites move on an elliptical orbit with semi-major axis 7555 km and inclination of angle 48˚. The initial right ascension of ascending node, argument of perigee, and true anomaly of the satellites are all set to be zero. Let . Let . The desired relative orbit elements are
The relative orbit trajectory for deputy satellite with respect to the chief established with the ROE-based control law is shown in the chief satellite frame in Figure 2. The chief and the deputy satellites are assumed to be coincident initially. Thus the relative orbit starts from the origin. The in Figure 2 denotes the thrust location. The control laws can be obtained from the inverse matrix of the relative state transition matrix (Table 1).
Table 1. The control strategy of formation establishment.
Figure 2. Relative orbit trajectory for formation establishment.
The paper investigated the problem of the inverse transformation of the state transition matrix based on relative orbit elements. Poisson bracket theory is used to obtain the linear transformations between the two representations: the relative orbit elements and the geocentric orbital frame. This new method leads to very simple results, and very easy to simplify. Two different expressions of the inverse matrix are presented, which can be used to analyze the elliptical relative motion control strategy and perturbation effects.

One of 5 Arrested for robbing SpiceJet Pilot Capt Yuvraj in Delhi Tests COVID-9 Positive
One of the five men Arrested recently for allegedly robbing and assaulting a Pilot Capt Yuvraj Tabotia of Spicejet Private Airline at IIT Flyover in SouthWest Delhi has tested positive for Covid-19, police said on Friday.
One of the five men arrested recently for allegedly robbing and assaulting a pilot of a private airline at IIT flyover in southwest Delhi has tested positive for Covid-19, police said on Friday.
Around ten police personnel, who came in contact with the accused during the investigation, have also been quarantined, they said.
The man was arrested along with two of his associates -- Rahul and Aasish - on June 9. Two days later, two more accused involved in the incident were also arrested.
The man who has tested positive for Covid-19 has been admitted to AIIMS.
When the man was in police custody, he fell sick and started vomiting. He was immediately rushed to the hospital where doctors suggested endoscopy.
His Covid-19 test was also conducted. According to his medical report which came on Thursday evening, he has tested positive for virus, a senior police officer said.
On the intervening night of June 2 and 3, the pilot was on his way to Indira Gandhi International Airport in his office cab from Faridabad when the men on two-wheelers intercepted the vehicle on IIT flyover and took his wallet which contained Rs 10,000 and other essential documents.
They robbed the pilot at gunpoint and attacked him with a knife when he resisted, police said.
दिल्ली में पायलट को लूटने के आरोप में गिरफ्तार 5 में से एक कोविद -19 पॉजिटिव
पुलिस ने शुक्रवार को कहा कि दक्षिण पश्चिम दिल्ली में आईआईटी फ्लाईओवर पर एक निजी एयरलाइन के एक पायलट को लूटने और हमला करने के आरोप में हाल ही में गिरफ्तार किए गए पांच लोगों में से एक ने कोविद -19 के लिए सकारात्मक परीक्षण किया है, पुलिस ने शुक्रवार को कहा।
उन्होंने कहा कि जांच के दौरान आरोपियों के संपर्क में आए लगभग दस पुलिस कर्मियों को भी छोड़ दिया गया है।
इस व्यक्ति को उसके दो सहयोगियों - राहुल और आशीष के साथ 9 जून को गिरफ्तार किया गया था। दो दिन बाद, इस घटना में शामिल दो और अभियुक्तों को भी गिरफ्तार किया गया था।
जिस व्यक्ति ने कोविद -19 के लिए सकारात्मक परीक्षण किया है, उसे एम्स में भर्ती कराया गया है।
जब वह आदमी पुलिस की हिरासत में था, तब वह बीमार पड़ गया और उसे उल्टी होने लगी। उन्हें तुरंत अस्पताल ले जाया गया जहां डॉक्टरों ने एंडोस्कोपी का सुझाव दिया।
उनका कोविद -19 परीक्षण भी किया गया था। एक वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधिकारी ने कहा कि गुरुवार शाम को आई उनकी मेडिकल रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, उन्होंने वायरस के लिए सकारात्मक परीक्षण किया है।
2 और 3 जून की रात को, पायलट फरीदाबाद से अपने कार्यालय कैब में इंदिरा गांधी अंतर्राष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डे के लिए जा रहा था, जब दोपहिया वाहनों पर सवार लोगों ने आईआईटी फ्लाईओवर पर वाहन को रोका और उसका बटुआ लिया जिसमें 10,000 रुपये और अन्य थे आवश्यक दस्तावेज।
पुलिस ने कहा कि उन्होंने बंदूक की नोक पर पायलट को लूट लिया और चाकू से उस पर हमला कर दिया।

Dear #Linkedin #Connections
Dear #Linkedin #Connections,
As, from a long time I am viewing every 2nd or 3rd post on LinkedIn in which various #HR #Candidates / #Employees are searching out for a particular job.
So, basically this job is for all HR professionals and not for any specific candidate.
In this #Pandemic situation who is more likely to be affected are the #HR #Professionals , as the frequency of employees losing their job is increasing day by day because HR is treated as non-productive #Resource.
So, when the company's financial health goes down the first candidate to whom they fire is the HR.
On the other side, when employers plan for their own start-up then they hire HR professional only for their recruiting process so that this can help them in saving their huge amount of money.
But once the employer grows and company start hiring quite good number of employees, then they start planning of how the HR should be removed, so that they can save their money and could hire a simple HR in a low budget which would be beneficial to them as well as their company.
Mostly people never notices how much work does an HR does how much efforts he/she gives on their work they are never appraised as people think HR job is just sitting at one place.
Being an HR professional , it is not an easy job as we have to recruit new hires, maintain benefits and #Payroll.
So, HR Professional role is at the core of a company's success.
I hope HR people viewing this post will agree to me.
You can share your views and experiences.

Aircrews Internship USP's
Aircrews Internship USP's -
1. Gain valuable work experience-
The hands-on work experience interns receive is invaluable and cannot
be obtained in a classroom setting, making this one of the most important benefits of this internships. Interns have the opportunity to apply acquired knowledge to real work experiences, witnessing first-hand the day-to-day job duties they can expect to encounter in their chosen field. In addition to learning the specialized skills of a particular field, transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, and computer proficiency are also obtained in this internship, fully preparing interns to enter the workforce upon graduation.
2. Explore a career path –
Exploring is an important part of the college experience, and internships are a great way for students to acquaint themselves with the field they are interested in. Some students begin college with a major or career path in mind, and end up changing their minds later on. Taking on an internship while in college allows students to work in their desired field, helping them decide if the field is right for them. By graduation, students who interned are more likely to feel confident they chose the right degree.
3. Give yourself an edge in the job market –
One of the most important internship benefits is that college graduates
who already have some work experience in the form of an internship stand out to potential employers. Internship experience makes a college grad more marketable as they usually require less training and can handle more responsibilities. You may also receive a higher starting salary than those who do not have internship experience and are entering the workforce or starting a new career.
4. Develop and refine skills –
You can learn a lot about your strengths and weaknesses during an internship. Internships allow for feedback from supervisors and others who are established in the field, and offer a unique learning opportunity that you may not have again as a working adult. Embrace the mistakes you make as an intern and the many things that you won't know. Ask questions, observe, and take risks to get the most out of your internship training experience.
5. Network with professionals in the field –
In the working world, it's all about who you know. As an intern, you will be surrounded by professionals in the company. Internships are more than just about earning credit, getting a grade, or making money; internships provide an opportunity to learn from the people around you, ask questions, and impress. The professionals you encounter during an internship can be your future colleagues or the connection to your first job.
6. Gain confidence –
Internships allow you to test out specific techniques learned in the classroom before entering the working world. It's an opportunity to apply what you have learned in a safe environment where mistakes are expected – rather than learn the hard way in your first job out of college.
7.Transition into a job -
Many companies use internships as a way to enhance their recruitment efforts. In some cases, a company may decide to hire an intern at the end of the assignment. Even if a job offer doesn't happen right away, an intern who makes a favourable impression could receive an offer down the line when an opening occurs. It's a way for companies to test out an employee before committing to hiring them.
8. Figure out what you want to do—and don't want to do –
An internship is an important step to establishing your career goals
So, if you think you know what type of job you want after college, do a test run through an internship. But make sure you match your career interests to the type of internship you do. If you think you want to work in the start-up world, you need to intern at a start-up since your notion of what it's like to work at a start-up might not match reality."
Moreover, figuring out what type of job you don't want while you're interning can help prevent you from accepting an ill-fitting job when you graduate.

Case Study on Top 10 Rich Indian Babas by Harshada Shinde [MBA FA] Manager Fintech Aircrews Aviation Pvt Ltd
Case Study on Top 10 Rich Indian Babas
Harshada Shinde
India has many religions and we respect every religion sentiment. Here people believe in their religion guru. Some Guru believe in people, and they spend their life for other. But here are some Sadhu Sant, who open their trust and they make money from donation or doing some business. In the name of god and spirituality these enlightened individuals have helped millions around the world and built empires which even the most successful businessmen struggle to match up to. Let's take a look at some of the richest 'gurus' in India.
-1-Acharya Balkrishna: Known to be a close associate of Yoga-guru Baba Ramdev, Acharya Balkrishna is a spiritual leader in India. He owns about 34 companies with an annual turnover of more than 265 crore INR. The fast-growing consumer goods company Patanjali Ayurved has changed the fortune of Balkrishna who owns 98.6% of the company in partnership with Baba Ramdev. In addition to this, he is also the chief editor of Yog Sandesh magazine, a researcher, and practitioner of Ayurveda. This Indian billionaire is reported to have an estimated net worth of 6.1 billion dollars. Woah!
-2- Satya Sai Baba: The richest Baba of India is Satya Sai Baba. Sathya Sai Baba founded a large number of schools and colleges, hospitals, and other charitable institutions in India and abroad, the net financial capital of which is usually estimated at Rs. 400 billion (US$9 billion). However, estimates as high as 1.4 trillion rupees (about US$31.5bn) have also been made. After his death, about 98 kg gold, 11.56 crore cash and 307 kg silver was recovered from his room. Their total assets are shocking. Satya Sai Baba's total assets are around 9 billion dollars (64 thousand crores rupees). One of India's most revered spiritual leaders, Sri Satya Sai Baba, has died in hospital at the age of 84. The guru, who suffered respiratory problems and kidney failure, died in his hometown Puttaparthi after a cardiac arrest, doctors said.
-3- Mata Amritanandamayi: Many people wonder how a little girl from a simple South Indian village came to be known throughout the world as "Amma, the Mother of All." If we look at Amma's life, this is what we see—someone who has offered her every thought, word and deed for the benefit of others. Giving is the essence for her. Amma is respected for her humanitarian activities in the country and is the richest god woman ever. Her main sources of income are Amrita Schools spread across Kerala, Amrita Institute of Medical Science and Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeeth colleges. Contributions from Indian and foreign followers add to her finances. She runs the Amritanandamayi Trust that is reported to have assets worth more than 1500 crore INR (230 million USD).
-4-Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, original name Mahesh Prasad Varma, (born 1917, Jabalpur, India—died Feb. 5, 2008, Vlodrop, Neth.), Hindu religious leader who introduced the practice of transcendental meditation (TM) to the West. Transcendental Meditation Guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the top rich Baba of India. Mahesh Yogi (left) with the Beatles in 1967. Transcendental Meditation guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's vast fortune in India, mostly land, estimated to be worth Rs 60,000 crore, has sparked a bitter conflict between his heirs and followers. Now he has not lived in this world. He died in the year 2008.
-5-Baba Ramdev - Baba Ramdev is one of the most popular Indian Yoga Guru. He has a great fan following. He Co-founded this three organization, Patanjali Ayurved.
