we estimated summer ranges based on annual samples of 22–44 caribou ( 40–229 locations / caribou ) , and winter ranges based on annual samples of 18–44 caribou ( 48–298 locations / caribou ) . we estimated 106 spring and 88 fall migration paths involving 52 individual caribou . we observed 64 instances ( 25 and 39 for spring and fall , respectively ; table 1 ) where movements of a caribou during spring or fall did not fit our definition of migration ; thus , we did not estimate migration paths for those caribou during those seasons . these caribou did not demonstrate a distinct migratory behavior pattern ( i . e . , they had overlapping summer and winter ranges and their movements between seasonal ranges were irregular and less directed ) .

from april 8 - september 8 , 2003 , filmmaker leanne allison and wildlife biologist karsten heuer migrated on foot with the caribou herd , to see for themselves if the calving grounds are important to the survival of the herd . being caribou was the name of the expedition . now it is the name of the intimate , funny , informative , compelling and award - winning film we are asking you to watch .

most cah caribou were migratory , and we found relatively little overlap between summer and winter ranges , especially considering that the 90 % ud isopleths that we used to define ranges encompassed areas of relatively low use by caribou . caribou whose movements did not fit our strict definition of migration also used different ranges between seasons , although these ranges often overlapped more than those of migratory caribou .

in april of 2003 , wildlife biologist karsten heuer & his new wife , leanne allison , set off on an epic journey to follow the porcupine caribou herd as it migrated from its yukon winter range to its endangered calving grounds in the arctic nat ' l wildlife refuge - and back ! after over 1 , 000 miles on foot and skis , physically & mentally exhausted , they walk into a dimension of conciousness neither had experienced before . being caribou is more than a story of grand adventure - it ' s about the

in north america , many populations of caribou ( rangifer tarandus ) are known or suspected to make seasonal migrations [ 13 – 17 ] . caribou migration routes are often located in areas where shallow or hard snow or frozen rivers and lakes facilitate travel [ 18 – 21 ] , and adverse snow conditions may delay migration by hindering caribou movements [ 22 ] . to accommodate spatial variability in environmental conditions , natural selection has likely favored caribou that follow migration routes that proved successful during previous years [ 22 ] . in such cases , young caribou may learn by following older , experienced animals [ 23 ] . such reliance on traditional migration routes might delay or reduce the ability of caribou to adapt to environmental changes .

i really enjoyed " being caribou " . the author writes about his 5 month journey following a herd of caribou during which time he becomes more and more aware of the natural presence and awareness found in the caribou and all that surrounds them . this allows him to see the glaring difference between that way of life and our technology and consumer driven lifestyle that is full of distractions and constant stimulation . ultimately , he begins to make peace with the juxtaposition of these two existences and gives the reader room for thought on how those two worlds might coincide . really a great book . . . reminds me of ishmael , yet in a non - fiction / believable manner and possibly more adaptable to one ' s life .

manifesto point # 4 : work closely with the community partner , but respect each other’s expertise and independence . some people have called my filmmaker - in - residence role as “embedded” in the hospital . i have serious concerns about the term “embedded , ” especially in the context of journalists working within the confines of the u . s . army in the war in iraq . but i can’t help but draw some parallel to the work of leanne allison and karsten heuer , who “embedded themselves” amongst a herd of migrating caribou in the film being caribou ( 2004 ) , directed by leanne allison and diana wilson . in their efforts to understand the fragile yet resilient porcupine caribou , it’s pretty clear that all parties truly respected each other’s expertise and independence .

the assertion comes as the u . s . is considering putting the north back on its list of terror sponsors . but the vitriolic outrage over the alleged plan to assassinate kim last month is also being doled out with an unusually big dollop of retaliation threats , raising a familiar question : what on earth is going on in pyongyang ?

we defined winter as the period between the end of fall migration and the beginning of spring migration , and summer extended from the end of the calving period to the start of fall migration . we determined the calving season by observing collared caribou daily ( weather permitting ) during the first 2 weeks of june and determining when calves first were observed accompanying the collared animals [ 37 ] . caribou that produced calves confined their movements to areas < 1 . 5 km 2 for periods of 10–14 days following the calf’s birth ( this study , unpublished data ) . for most caribou , summer began when caribou moved beyond the small area used during calving . however , we observed 8 cases of collared caribou that did not produce calves or exhibit restricted movements during the calving period . for these animals , we modeled summer ranges beginning with the mean date of the end of calving by caribou that produced calves .

i read being caribou in 2006 . since i prefer giving detailed reviews only when a book is fresh in my mind , i am going to skip a lengthy review here . i will say , however , that it was an excellent book . i also watched the movie version of the story twice . the book and movie are a nice combination , but read the book first . marty essen , author of endangered edens : exploring the arctic national wildlife refuge , costa rica , the everglades , and puerto rico

great writing about an unusual trip , camping out while traveling with migratory caribou in the artic . this husband / wife team come frightingly close to grizzlies , not to mention finding themsleves surrounded by the caribou themselves . i hated to end the book ; i had come to feel myself along for the trip .

an interesting and readable book on the artic caribou . it would be nice to have a year or several years of observations to see the whole picture .

plot is meant to be modular , so , making a plot call does not wipe clear any previous plots . rather , it adds the new objects or base plots . this may require a re - arrangement of the device . when plot is called and a new plot is being added to an existing plot , the behaviour depends on how much blank space is currently available .

it ' s a good thing i read this nonfiction account of a husband / wife team who set out to migrate with a caribou herd in the summer , because the reading gave me goosebumps . the conditions they traveled under were often very harsh , wet and cold and dangerous . they weree determined to photograph and film the lives of the carbou in the artic wildlife refuge , hoping to preserve the caribou ' s habitat , and so preserve the caribou . maybe a whole lot more people need to read their account .

because of the dynamic nature of caribou movements , identifying important areas or habitats used for particular behaviors is difficult and may be influenced by decisions regarding how to define specific movement patterns . for example , we found that caribou movements during migration were too variable to enable us to use a single model for identifying migratory movements of all individuals ( e . g . , [ 78 ] ) . instead , we utilized multiple sources of information , including characteristics of the caribou movements themselves , to assign movements to different seasons [ 79 , 80 ] . although defining migration based largely on movement patterns of the caribou being studied was useful for identifying geographic areas used for this activity , such subjective decisions might influence the results of studies that attempt to identify factors that influence migration behavior or compare movements among different populations . however , changes in patterns of space use by animals in response to external stimuli can reveal underlying habitat requirements , energetic constraints , or other ecological relationships . thus , studies that assess variation in movement patterns , rather than assuming consistency in range use and movements , can provide valuable insights into a species’ habitat relationships and management requirements .

long - term changes in climate are also likely to affect migratory patterns and create challenges to the management of migratory species [ 70 , 71 ] . in the case of migratory caribou , the availability of highly - nutritious , new vegetation during spring coincides with the conclusion of spring migration , initiation of calving , and subsequent formation of large post - calving aggregations [ 72 ] . thus , changes in temperature , precipitation , and environmental productivity that affect the emergence of new vegetation are likely to induce major range shifts during spring [ 4 , 71 , 73 ] . the variability we found in caribou winter range use suggests that caribou might change their use of winter range in response to changing climatic conditions . such behavioral flexibility is likely to be a positive trait in the face of future energy development and potential climate - driven changes in caribou habitat and resources . therefore , management efforts intended to identify and protect important caribou habitats should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate such changes in behavior . additional studies are needed to assess the causes and significance of inter - annual changes in caribou distribution and to determine how much area is needed to enable caribou to select seasonal ranges based on varying environmental conditions ( weather , forage abundance and quality , etc . ) .

with a general leave the wilderness alone , anti - drilling theme , this is easy reading ; but only as interesting as looking at a herd of caribou can possibly be . the " becoming caribou " is too much of a zen stretch . not exciting . reinforces this rule of thumb : be careful when a book has only a handful of reviews .

that is where we find ourselves now , moving without caribou as much or more than with , following fresh trails of a large group somewhere ahead , having to be content with the company of the odd cow / calf pair that , like us , has fallen behind . and although there is humility , even a sense of failure in having lost our group , the absence of caribou has brought new perspectives .

caribou movements during migration are likely influenced by the search for optimal forage or for conditions that favor travel , and availability of these conditions varies with snow conditions [ 74 ] . although empirical evidence indicating the demographic consequences of fragmenting migration routes or converting them to unusable habitat is limited [ 75 ] , increased development along caribou migration routes could have negative energetic effects if migratory movements are impeded or deflected to less - optimal areas . effects of disturbance may be most important for female caribou , because increased energetic costs of migration may cause females to arrive in the calving areas in poor condition reducing the likelihood of survival of both the female and her offspring [ 56 , 76 ] .

a great adventure : a husband and wife : biologist karsten heuer and filmmaker leanne allison follow the famed porcupine herd of caribou from its yukon winter range to its calving grounds in the arctic national wildlife refuge and back , thousands of miles . even more mosquitoes . grizzly bears . blizzards . months of walking . ultimately they tapped into the herd’s “infrasonic resonance on the edge of human hearing . ” a sort of oscillating song the collective caribou hummed to stay in touch , a group song

caribou began spring migration near the beginning of may during all years ( table 3 ) , and mean duration of migration was 14 . 72 days ( table 4 ) . fall migration was initiated in mid - september and mean duration was 12 . 54 days ( table 4 ) . migration routes estimated by averaging bbmms of individual caribou overall years and by overlaying routes from different years produced similar results , and both methods indicated several areas of concentrated use ( figs 5 and 6 ) .

an unforgettable look into the world of northern caribou and the delicate ecosystems they inhabit . heuer does an amazing job of describing his ( and his wife ' s ) journey as they attempt to travel with the porcupine caribou on their annual migration . the book will also resonate if you are an adventure or wilderness junkie . fording half frozen rivers , scaling mountains , grizzly bear encounters , and eating ground squirrels when on the brink of starvation are just a few of the activities they endure d

timing and distances moved by the cah during spring migration were similar to those reported for the porcupine herd [ 43 , 44 ] . our data also support the observations of cameron and whitten [ 47 ] , who described the movements of the cah during fall migration as more directed and rapid compared to spring migration . this difference might be partly due to differences in weather and environmental conditions , especially characteristics of the snowpack . during early spring , snow cover in northern alaska is extensive and deep snow may restrict or slow caribou movements [ 19 , 22 ] . during spring migration , caribou are in the poorest physical condition of the year and pregnant females face high energetic demands of gestation [ 66 ] , which may further reduce their ability to travel rapidly . conversely , fall migration typically occurs before deep snow has accumulated , and caribou movements are relatively unimpeded . bergerud et al . [ 67 ] observed similar differences in movement rates between spring and fall migrations of caribou in eastern canada , which they attributed to seasonal differences in food availability .

most visualization approaches in r ( e . g . , base , rgooglevis , ggplot2 , rgl ) are not optimized for speed or modularity . rather , they are designed to build publication - quality or interactive figures that do not need to be redrawn hundreds or more times in rapid succession . plotting requirements for many other uses , including simulation modeling , are different . changes to data , maps , objects can happen rapidly and repeatedly . visualizing this can be critical , especially during the model building phase . furthermore , no plotting method has been designed for modularity – the ability to plot something without being aware of what is already there .

a wonderful reflection on an amazing journey . i enjoyed learning about the annual migration of the caribou , and their sensitivity to disturbance while calving on the artic coast . if everyone read this book the debate about drilling for oil in anwar might be over for good .

it was hard to know it was happening at first , or maybe we just didn & apos ; t want to admit it . the week and a half of rest at the calving grounds , followed by another week of leisurely roaming the alaskan foothills with caribou mothers and newborn calves , had been a welcome break from the intense travel of the spring migration . but now , with group after group racing past our camp in the egaksrak valley , there could be no question that the next phase of the caribou & apos ; s migration was on . there was new urgency to their movements , the year & apos ; s first mosquitoes and flies were about to hatch and when they did , the caribou would likely band together in huge groups and race for relief in the windy yukon mountains . deemed by many to be the most dramatic stage of the entire migration , the post - calving aggregation was something we didn & apos ; t want to miss . packing up just an hour after pitching camp , leanne and i passed on sleep that night and followed the caribou east .

a true story written like fiction , very easy to read . lots of information about caribou and their habitat , but not at all in a textbook or preachy way . the landscape descriptions are good , but obviously cannot do the story justice . i really enjoyed reading about their trek , finding and following and losing ( rinse , repeat ) caribou . there is an excellent sense of ecology and of a world that is bigger than humans . it reminds me of what is out there , what we have lost , what we could protect .

" we try to be caribou but are continually pulled back by our human needs " writes the author in one of his diary entries . what value does it have to follow the migration of a herd of caribou as they head toward calving grounds on the arctic ocean , something that the author and his wife do with great hardship and considerable personal danger ? that is the question that this non - fiction book tries to answer , and it may be a kind of religious answer that is discovered . the caribou herd is completely unknown to most of humanity , but for those who study their amazing and instinctive behavior , what results is a kind of mindfulness and awareness . humanity is not at the center of the universe ; it is only one small part and all the other parts should be approached with awe and respect .

why anwr must be preserved husband and wife team of karsten heuer and leanne allison decide to spend their honeymoon in just about the most off - the - beaten - track way possible : they ' re going to migrate with caribou . not just any caribou , but the porcupine herd of northern canada and alaska , the herd whose calving ground is the 1002 section of the arctic national wildlife refuge , the place where exxon wants to drill to get what will likely be less than six months , maybe one year ' s worth of u . s . needs

karsten heuer and his new wife , leanne allison , a filmmaker , spend months following and relating to caribou . they follow the porcupine caribou herd in the spring from their wintering areas to the birthing grounds and back out . they encounter natives on both sides of the oil / environmental refuge question , grizzly bears , birds of all types , wolves , mosquitos and other life . they almost starve , have trouble keeping up sometimes and have moving experiences . an amazing and moving book . they have a website : urltoken and the film has won many awards . definitely worthwhile .

in this feature - length documentary , husband and wife team karsten heuer ( wildlife biologist ) and leanne allison ( environmentalist ) follow a herd of 120 , 000 caribou on foot across 1500 km of arctic tundra . in following the herd ' s migration , the couple hopes to raise awareness of the threats to the caribou ' s survival . along the way they brave arctic weather , icy rivers , hordes of mosquitoes and a very hungry grizzly bear . dramatic footage and video diaries combine to provide an intimate perspective of an epic expedition . directed by leanne allison , diana wilson - 2004

sample sizes were the numbers of migration routes of individual caribou modeled during each season ( 88 and 106 for fall and spring , respectively ) . summer extended from the end of calving to the beginning of fall migration ; winter extended from the end of fall migration to the beginning of spring migration .

this was an amazing movie and shows us the importance of making sure that we need to keep this conversation going and to let everyone know that bush still doesn ' t know and understand the impact of the life of the caribou has on everyone of us . thanks so much for not giving up .

the land feels empty without them , the valleys vacant , as though the long history that has terraced every hillside and mountain has abruptly ended . when the caribou aren & apos ; t around , one of this landscape & apos ; s shaping elements is missing ; something as powerful as wind and water .

north american caribou are commonly assigned to herds , based on the traditional use of seasonal ranges , particularly areas used during the calving season [ 24 – 26 ] . in northern alaska , 4 herds of barren - ground caribou ( r . t . granti ) have been identified . recent ( 2008–2011 ) estimates of abundance of these herds were 55 , 000 for the teshekpuk lake herd , 67 , 000 for the central arctic ( cah ) , 169 , 000 for the porcupine herd , and 348 , 000 for the western arctic herd ( alaska department of fish and game , fairbanks , ak , unpublished data ) .

for the first time in three months , we have a sense of what this land might be like without the caribou ; what it might be like if short - sighted human greed and the quest for more , faster , bigger modern conveniences lead to oil and gas development in the herd & apos ; s alaskan calving grounds .

if new = true , a new plot will be generated , but only in the figure region that has the same name as the object being plotted . this is different than calling clearplot ( ) ; plot ( object ) , i . e , . directly before creating a new plot . clearplot ( ) will clear the entire plotting device . when new = false , any plot that already exists will be overplotted , while plots that have not already been plotted will be added . this function rearranges the plotting device to maximize the size of all the plots , minimizing white space . if using the rstudio ide , it is recommended to make and use a new device with dev ( ) , because the built in device is not made for rapid redrawing . the function is based on the grid package .

this film really touched me - caribou are such persistent and beautiful sentient beings . it ' s important to take a hard look at how humanity disrupts the fragile ecosystem around us and get the message out there that there are consequences to our irreparable actions . i thank the film makers for their journey and for creating such a captivating and essential documentary .

this film presents undeniable evidence that gives the lie to then sen . frank murkowski ' s ( r - alaska ) disgenuous description of the refuge as " flat , unattractive , not pristine " as he held up a piece of blank white foam board . watching the caribou migrate suggests a more appropriate analogy . the arctic national wildlife refuge is america ' s serengeti .

identifying the geographic areas used by the cah during different seasons is needed to determine effective conservation measures and guide planning for future development of roads and infrastructure related to extraction of oil , gas , minerals , and other resources in northern alaska . in addition , differences in areas used between seasons or among years may suggest environmental forces that affect caribou movements . conversely , consistency in use of a particular area , either across seasons or during the same season of different years , may indicate important habitats . thus , assessing fidelity in range use may indicate important habitats or suggest directions for future studies . our objectives were to develop models to estimate and quantify summer ( post calving season ) and winter ranges of the cah ; identify geographic areas used during spring and fall migrations ; and assess annual variation in seasonal ranges and migratory movements . we also estimated several metrics describing timing , distance , and rate of movement during migration , which may be useful as baseline data or for comparison with other populations . we restricted our study to movements of adult female caribou , because caribou herd designations are generally based on movements and selection of calving areas by females .

i loved it , honestly i ' m not going to go in depth as i believe ( cliche yes ) that this book can stand on it ' s own , and the title says enough . so if you want to read about the caribou and how fundamentally ' human ' we are then i would recommend this book . hopefully you will enjoy it as much as i did .

one of the main purposes of the plot function is modularity . the goal is to enable any spades module to be able to add a plot to the plotting device , without being aware of what is already in the plotting device . to do this , each open plotting device has a corresponding . quickplot object in the . quickplotenv , that gets created when a first plot function is called . this object keeps the layer names , their extents , and whether they were in a rasterstack ( and a few other things ) . so , when a new plot is called , and new is used , then it will simply add the new layer . there may not be space on the plot device for this , in which case , everything will be replotted in a new arrangement , but taking the original r objects . this is different than the grid package engine for replotting . that engine was not designed for large numbers of plots to be added to a region ; it slows down immensely as the number of plots increases .

this receiver is designed to work with a speaker or headphones or with a computer or recorder . when the electret microphone output is used , the voltage from the computer or recorder that would normally power the microphone instead turns on the preamplifier section of the receiver , bypassing the power switch . ( disconnect the plug when not in use . ) when the power switch is turned on , the lm386 also receives power to drive a speaker or headphones . the notch filter is bootstrapped so the circuit will work well with a short antenna with little capacitance or a rooftop antenna fed by a fairly long cable with lots of capacitance .

jazz on the screen reflects the opinions of its author , david meeker , and not the views of the library of congress .

the gain of this circuit is very high and may be reduced by reducing the 100k feedback resistor connected to pin 6 of the ca3140 or by adding a resistor in series with pin 1 on the lm386 ( or doing both ) . when using an outdoor antenna , add a surge suppressor box with a high - value bleed resistor to ground . add a dc power option for long - term use with a computer . a power jack could be wired to apply power to pin 7 of the ca3140 while disconnecting the 2n4403 collector ( using a power jack with a built - in changeover switch ) .

the " power lines " exhibition will include three of the prints from that series , all with their respective colorado titles ; telluride , pagosa springs , and ophir .

the endpoint column functions much like the upper value column of exercise 1 , with the exception that the endpoint is the highest number in the interval , regardless of the actual value of each observation . for example , in the class interval of 210–220 , the actual value of the two observations is 217 and 219 . but , instead of using 219 , the endpoint of 220 is used .

in a summer tradition of showing and sometimes introducing younger artists , barry whistler gallery will present power lines , a group exhibition featuring adam raymont ( berlin ) , luke harnden ( ut dallas ) and liz trosper ( ut dallas ) . the convergence of these three artists is based on their mutual interest in utilizing a recursive linearity to build pictures .

building all the circuitry to run on a single + 12 to + 15 volt supply simplifies the power supply and makes battery backup easy . battery backup is highly recommended since listening is often most interesting after a power outage ! find a small but linear power adapter that is rated at 18 or more volts and build a regulator to supply the + 15volts . alternately , you might be lucky enough to find one that includes a linear regulator . battery backup can be quite simple ; just pass the regulated voltage through a schottky rectifier to the load and connect a 12 volt lantern battery through another such rectifier to the load . when the line power is good , the load gets 15 volts minus a few hundred millivolts and the battery rectifier is reverse - biased . ( i actually used an adjustable regulator set to 13 volts . ) when the power fails , the battery supplies 12 volts minus a diode drop and the other rectifier prevents current from flowing into the regulator . current draw will be low so the batteries should last through decades of power outages .

there are two capacitors indicated across the power . place the 1 uf near the op - amp and the 47 uf near the fet . if your circuit has stability problems , break the line between the two capacitors and add a small resistor , perhaps 100 ohms .

another good whistler movie with richard dix as an amnesiac who seems to be followed by death . janis carter plays an amateur fortune teller who warns dix of his impending death and then falls for him . the set - up is intriguing with a nice ironic ending twist and the leads put in good performances . lew landers direction is imaginative , particularly in the beginning when dix ' s character is literally being shadowed by the whistler , and the ending with dix rising up out of the shadows .

besides the limited dynamic range of the fm link , the audio is quite pleasant for occasional listening . here is a reassigned live spectrogram with a diffuse whistler , some sferics , and the usual ' alpha ' ( rsdn ) beeps taken 2010 - 03 - 22 :

the fet may be any of a number of types suitable for microphone amplifiers ; i also like the j201 . the 5k and 5 volt power source represent the circuitry on a typical soundcard . just connect the drain of the fet to the tip and ring . the main problem with this approach is that there ' s no isolation between the receive ground and the usually - noisy computer ground . despite this noise source , a high outdoor antenna seems sufficient .

as a recent washington post profile makes clear , nsa director and army general keith alexander has overseen a concerted effort since 2005 to collect and store all information he possibly can – including vast troves of americans’ metadata . some members of congress are understandably wary about the amount of power accumulated by the nsa during his tenure .

the ca3140 draws about 2 ma at 9 volts and that will run the battery down after a week of steady use . but it would also be possible to substitute a micro - power fet type op - amp to reduce power consumption when not using the lm386 to the point that the battery shelf - life would dominate . the original fet version was abandoned because many new computers supply a very low voltage to the microphone , as low as 2 volts . that doesn ' t leave much headroom for more than running the active device . this technique of using the microphone voltage to activate the battery - powered circuit allows sufficient voltage to bootstrap the bottom of the notch filter while providing plenty of gain .

sneakers situates its commentary on nsa surveillance within a broader treatment of the digital age . in another scene , cosmo — the movie’s principal antagonist – succinctly explains to bishop that the “world isn’t run by weapons anymore , or energy , or money . ” rather , it’s “run by little ones and zeroes , little bits of data . it’s all just electrons . ” in his eyes , there is a “world war” ongoing , which will be decided by “who controls the information . ” despite cosmo’s megalomaniacal plan , he understands very clearly that information is power . he , like the nsa , wants to device because it will give its owner unequaled power .

get a proper 12volt power supply that will give quite a bit of current say 5amps continuously and use that for all your 12volt radios . cheap wall - warts are poorly regulated and have the barest minimum of filtering , both on the supply and the output sides - do the job properly . i run all my 12 volt stuff from a home - brew power supply that i made back in the 80 ' s ! it uses a rewound colour tv transformer , 24 , 000mf capacitor , 35amp peak rectifier and 4 mje2955 ' s driven by another 2955 and a 741 ic regulator circuit . the overload is set for 10amps which it will supply easily without drooping - most of the time it ' s passing 3amps or so and gets barely warm .

the baby monitor is removed from its case and mounted in this larger one along with two d - cells , a power switch , and the super tiny vlf receiver circuit . the original baby monitor antenna is the short gray one and the vlf antenna is the longer black telescoping type . the close - up of the vlf receiver below shows a 363k resistor and 750 pf capacitor from the antenna ( fahnstock clip ) to the gate of the j201 jfet ( or any type suitable for low voltage application ) . a 47 megohm resistor connects the gate to the source and ground ( and also the microphone cable ' s shield ) and the drain simply connects to the microphone cable center conductor .

the almighty dollar is the best indicator of the power supply ' s quality . if it cost more of them then it is a better supply . if it is cheap and made in china then it is not . ebay deals aren ' t . buy it and try it , if it is noisy then send it back but you won ' t find a quiet one that is cheap .

the best whistler times are during periods of intense sunspot activity – when large volumes of solar ions are being pumped out with energies in the gev and possibly tev ranges . my own theory ( unsupported ) is that the thunderstorm rf discharges cause a resonant oscillation in the solar ions which , as you say , will kick them into their helical orbit . the solar whistlers are , though , observable at any time albeit rather less frequently .

short whistlers might be due to dispersion , but some whistlers last five seconds so ordinary dispersion is probably inadequate an explanation . a radio wave can travel a million miles in five seconds so to accumulate that much difference in arrival times , the signal would have to travel hundreds of millions of miles , assuming a pretty steep dispersion curve . more likely , the whistler is an emission from the magnetosphere triggered by the lightning pulse .

the supply voltage ( 12 v dc ) is fed though a dc / dc converter , which provides galvanic decoupling from the ac mains . this is similar to an ' austin transformer ' used for lighting radio masts . actually , this * is * a radio mast even though with an output power of a few milliwatts . . .

because the variable is continuous , the endpoints of each class interval are used in plotting the graph . the plotted points are joined to form an ogive .

i ' ve discovered that one ' s hobby time can go a lot further if one isn ' t too concerned with internal neatness ! as long as the construction is rugged and reliable it will do ! the adafruit prototyping boards allow for amazingly quick prototyping and great density if one is willing to move into the third dimension . notice how many of the parts are wired up in the air . the two - transistor power switch only uses one dedicated board trace plus power and ground ; all the rest is wired in the air or goes to traces already used . the notch filter is similarly air - wired . the board gives the whole structure plenty of mechanical integrity . there ' s a thin sheet of epoxy - fiberglass board under the circuit board to prevent component leads from touching the case . that allows construction from the top side - every component on that board was soldered in after the board was mounted in the case , thanks to the high - quality plated holes . despite all the parts , there ' s still ten or eleven traces available . : )

the harmonics of the hum will still annoy you ! but that ' s where software filtering comes in .

he squamish lil’wat cultural centre , adjacent to four seasons resort whistler , adds an additional 2 , 824 square metres ( 30 , 400 square feet ) of available function space . through an exclusive partnership with the centre , four seasons offers an outstanding opportunity to experience first nations–inspired culinary menus in a breathtaking venue .

located adjacent to four seasons resort whistler , our partner , the squamish lil’wat cultural centre is open to groups for drum - making lessons during the day . in the evening , it transforms into a memorable setting for dinners and cocktail receptions , featuring gourmet first nations fare and performance by a hoop dancer .

lew landers directed this whistler sequel that doesn’t hold up to the original . in it , richard dix returns as a psycho killer with amnesia that is befriended by a young girl who wants to help him reclaim his memory , even though it will endanger her life ( unbeknownst to her , of course ) . it’s a strong hook , but poorly executed , with lots of plot cheats and a lack of atmosphere that the first film had in spades .

yes , i have experienced the same thing with the older however similar gre version psr - 500 unit . i placed a couple chokes in series in the positive and negative dc power lines between the adapter and scanner and that helped a lot . i ' m not sure whether the noise in my instance was being generated by the ac adapter itself or whether the signal was in the outlet and was being transferred to the scanner via the adapter . in either case , there was a lot of additional white noise when the scanner was powered using the ac adapter vs . when running on batteries . shawn

the frequency column records the number of observations that fall within a particular interval . this column represents the observations in the tally column , only in numerical form .

the whistler series of films is like watching alfred hitchcock presents or maybe the twilight zone tv shows . this is a bizarre tale of an escaped mental patient who has lost his memory only to slowly regain it and sets out to take revenge on the judge who sentenced him . it ' s a good premise but the execution is poor . the characters are completely unbelievable as are some of the situations they are put into . the two sisters , especially janis carter ' s role are way too gullible , naive or just plain dumb . the actors seem to try but are hampered by truly poor writing .

this simple receiver is built into a plastic peanut butter jar and uses a straightened coat hanger for the antenna yielding a length near 32 inches . a block of wood attached to the lid by two screws stiffens the lid and supports the antenna and ground wire . two additional screws secure the antenna and one screw holds the ground wire . the enamel was sanded off a a section of the coat hanger wire to allow the attachment of a short length of hookup wire :

the number of rock climbers ranges from 4 to 65 . in order to produce a stem and leaf plot , the data are best grouped in class intervals of 10 .

in shedding further energy , the helical orbit decays – becoming more linear ( a longer orbital period ) , and thus a change in the frequency of the emitted rf . the period of decay for these high energy particles is of the order of 5 to 12 seconds , but the vlf signals become difficult to detect without a high - altitude detector . ( we sent up rockets regularly ) .

at the relatively low field densities of the temperate latitudes in the high ionosphere , these particles will penetrate deep into the field before losing enough energy to become trapped . they are then deflected along the field , but due to their momentum , travel in a corkscrew orbit . this acceleration of the charge results , quite naturally in the emission of radio frequency radiation .

he explains that the nsa is “not chartered for domestic surveillance” and that it is the fbi , not nsa , who bishop hears “breathing on the other end of [ his ] phone . ” recent revelations about the scope of nsa telephone monitoring and data gathering – authorized by wide - ranging foreign intelligence surveillance court orders – casts doubt on the continued veracity of the movie’s explanation , much to the chagrin of many civil libertarians .

any wallwart is not going to have any filtering in it or full wave rectification , you would need a fully regulated power supply not a switching supply or a stupid wallwart . the wallwart is for charging only . i plug mine into my cable box ( samsung / cablevision )

applicants must have produced at least one feature film or a total of 90 minutes of short and / or television credits .

a wealthy industrialist ( richard dix ) , lonely and terminally ill , pitches a business proposition to a pretty nurse ( lynn merrick ) : if she will marry him and keep him company for the final months of his life , he will bequeath her his vast fortune . although she’s already engaged to another man , it’s an offer she can’t refuse . but fortune — the other kind — can be counted on for a series of unexpected , often cruel reversals in this fourth instalment of the whistler series . much of the moody , murderous action is set in an isolated lighthouse on the maine coast . william castle , who made the first two films of the series , returned to the director’s chair for this one . b & w , 35mm . 60 mins .

if the residence is used for an executive meeting , these extra rooms are optimal for breakout rooms or as a war room . for smaller corporate retreats that might be used to renting ski chalets , the private residences offer a great alternative . not only do they offer great whistler upper village location , they also have all the fine services and amenities of four seasons right at their doorstep .

it is essential to know the difference between the two types of variables in order to properly calculate their cumulative frequency .

february 25 , 2016 : the american humane society has announced the winners of their annual pawscars . cat winners include buttercup from the hunger games for best repurring cat performance and a mention of the cast of cinderella , including lucifer , for best ensemble performance . congratulations to this year ' s winners !

to escape from the domestic qrm on vlf , a remote e - field antenna was used . the distance between the rx site and the radio shack was a bit too large for a cable connection , so a " recycled " uhf fm link is used . the receiver also runs on battery power to eliminate coupling noise from the house to the vlf rx site . the dynamic range of this " hifi " wireless audio link isn ' t spectacular , but for occasional listening it ' s ok ( in 2011 , it was replaced with a

to get further away from the local qrm ( mains ) , a new e - field receiver was built , this time with a flea - power uhf fm transmitter already inside . in january 2011 , this started as a ' platform ' to test different frontends , like this one :

the 50 pf is not part of the circuit but represents the cable and antenna capacitance . add about 39 pf to ground from the antenna if it ' s pretty short .

the receiver uses a 1 . 5 meter long , 1 cm diameter aluminium tube , threaded through one of the plasic endcaps . it is located 6 meters above ground , tied to the trunk of a tree :

any audio gadget that uses one of those silver can microphones can be modified in this manner . whatever the device is , it already has plenty of audio gain for the microphone and it supplies the required bias current .

i painted my tin with gray hammertone paint and affixed a label to the lid . the circuit is built on a piece of polished copper clad circuit board sprayed with a light coat of clear krylon to keep it shiny . all the ground connections are made directly to the copper and a couple of terminal strips hold most of the components . a battery compartment is formed with two pieces of copper clad board soldered in place as walls and a piece of foam rubber on the lid secures the battery . just about any assembly technique should work fine so don ' t feel compelled to copy this approach .

so , the nintendo wii power supply failed , replaced with a $ 7 direct from china model instead of $ 50 for the real thing which is highway robbery . wow does that thing suck , crazy loud radio hash all over hf . i have cell phone chargers that are completely silent , others not so much . the charger that came with my cheapy baofeng radiates all over the hf bands from the ac input side , which is pretty amazing , it has to get backward through the input cap and rectifier .

plot a graph using the y - axis ( or vertical line ) for the cumulative frequency and the x - axis ( or horizontal line ) for the number of people rock climbing .

the antenna for this receiver is about 2 meters long , mounted high over the roof of a home . the lead - in cable is about 30 ' long and has about 750 pf capacitance . that capacitance attenuates the signal quite a bit , perhaps about 30 db , but the atmospheric noise is still well above the noise of the amplifier .

kathy leaves the newspaper business to marry homicide detective bill but is frustrated by his lack of ambition and the banality of life in the suburbs . her drive to advance bill ' s career soon takes her down a dangerous path .

fortunately , one of my favorite dual op - amps is still available in a dip package , the ca3240 . this dual op - amp features high - impedance cmos inputs that are well - protected from esd and excellent gain - bandwidth of 4 . 5 mhz . they can work with a total power supply voltage from 4 to 36 volts to boot . and they ' re big enough to solder ! rush to buy a dozen before they disappear . the first project uses one .

another calculation that can be obtained using a frequency distribution table is the relative frequency distribution . this method is defined as the percentage of observations falling in each class interval . relative cumulative frequency can be found by dividing the frequency of each interval by the total number of observations . ( for more information , see frequency distribution in the chapter entitled organizing data . )

armony a is half of the main ballroom and can facilitate up to 175 people for a reception .

armony b is half of the main ballroom and can facilitate up to 175 people for a reception .

each interval can be located in the stem column . the numbers within this column represent the first number within the class interval . ( for example , stem 0 represents the interval 0–9 , stem 1 represents the interval of 10–19 , and so forth . )

the original circuit is shown below for " historical purposes . " use a 2n4338 , j201 or similar low pinch - off jfet . the notch filter isn ' t bootstrapped so the very high - value resistors and small capacitors are an attempt to load on the antenna as lightly as possible . the circuit does invert the signal which is better for stability . another distinct advantage is that the power is completely supplied by the computer when that jack is used . the high - value resistors were formed by selecting 22 megohms to connect in series to get an accurate value .

the total rock climber count of lake louise , alberta was recorded over a 30 - day period . the results are as follows :

after members enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and wine all graciously provided by gibbes , etc . , brian led an illuminating tour of the highly acclaimed exhibition inspired by the beautiful vistas of the lowcountry . guests also enjoyed previewing the lovely photographs included in the exhibition daufuskie island : photographs by jeanne moutoussamy - ashe .

for 50 hz environments , increase the values of the two top capacitors to about 330 pf and experiment with a value near 620 pf for the one to ground .

the range of the baby monitor is great ( using an old scanner ) , and the fidelity is surprisingly good . i ' ll be keeping my eye out for more of these in the garage sales ! the purpose of this gadget is to listen to unusual local vlf signals like passing cars , buzzing bees , etc . i rushed it together to try to catch a hoard of bicycle riders that occasionally pass my house in the middle of night . ( they ' re an odd bunch that go for all - night rides on the occasional full moon ! ) unfortunately , their route didn ' t pass the house this time . but i did catch a couple of other sounds during the day . a couple of notable examples below were recorded with karen ' s humnuller program .

when this is all working to my satisfaction , i ' ll hang the board on a wall where the antenna enters my basement . the modules are easy to work on but i find it even better to take the whole thing over to the bench so i ' ll make the hangers easy to release . there ' s a tee on the input to the agc amplifier in the event i want to use the preamplifier ' s output for higher frequency reception . i ' ll move that to the antenna since the whistler amplifier doesn ' t load the antenna at all . a future rf amplifier for lf signals would also need a very high input impedance . the current meter is at 1 / 2 scale with lightning in the area and that corresponds to a gain around 50 . i therefore have 34 db of agc headroom .

the simplest antenna for natural radio is an electric pickup consisting of a wire or metal rod . a long wire antenna typically used for shortwave listening can also work well but a simple vertical whip is better . the reason is that a long wire antenna is likely to pass near trees and bushes . when wind tosses them about , the static charge on the foliage can induce audio noise into the antenna , essentially turning your antenna into a huge electret microphone . even a bee buzzing around the antenna can induce audio ! i prefer a vertical antenna to get the antenna as far away from the house and trees as possible . i have a somewhat tentative theory that suggests a significant portion of the interesting signals are electrostatic in nature , not carrying the penetrating power of an audio - frequency radio wave . that means you want the antenna away from other conductors like trees and bushes that can shield the antenna from the desired signal .

the crowd for the brian rutenberg opening reception and preview was as colorful as the incredible works on view . it was clear that the lingering excitement from brian’s lecture the night before brought back many enthusiasts to enjoy another evening full of festivities and , of course , brian and his wife katie’s charming presence .

the vlf antenna was near the ground and sloping over the flowers , adjusted for minimal spherics .

when you turn the unit on in the house you should be " blasted " by hum after the circuit comes alive . it will be pretty useless indoors . go outside as far away from buildings and power lines as possible . touch the ground wire when operating the unit . a good pair of modern headphones will help , especially noise - cancelling types . the circuit will also drive an older crystal earphone . when you get away from all the hum , you should be able to hear faint crackles that sound a little like frying bacon and little chirps from more distant lightning . storms within a couple of hundred miles will be quite loud . you can probably hear your own footsteps , too . for some stereo headphones you may need to connect the tip and ring of a stereo connector together to get sound in both earpieces . you can also use the tip for the output and the ring for the ground , thereby connecting the earpieces in series . see the version below with the hum filter .

cosmo’s argument has not been lost on the u . s . government , which created the u . s . cyber command in 2010 , also led by nsa chief alexander . its mission is to protect critical u . s . information from being compromised by and conducting offensive cyber operations against foreign adversaries . cybercom is engaged the very type of conflict cosmo describes by defending against chinese military efforts to penetrate u . s . computer networks and by launching the stuxnet virus to cripple iran’s nuclear - development efforts . and the scene’s warning about the abuse of such power echoes ( so far unfulfilled ) campaign pledges by president obama to roll back the aggressive intelligence and counter - terrorism practices inherited from the bush administration .
