Chorus Chapter Eight

Note: After the silliness of last chapter, it's back to your regularly scheduled gut punches and general meanness from yours truly. While I'm here, I'd like to thank the people who have reviewed recently, a good review always motivates me to work faster.

…..

Steven passed a thankfully dreamless sleep in the rest pod, even inadvertently catching Ginger in the middle of a crying fit couldn't keep him awake. He was concerned, sure, but all he could really afford to be worried about was that their pace was so slow it felt like time was running out for Pearl, wherever she was. Not to mention every 'cycle' he spent on Homeworld was approximately one day he spent away from his loved ones on Earth. They were probably frantic by now.

Murder Pearl wasn't there when he woke up, but Ginger was. She pushed a glass of that murky liquid towards him without a word and went back to what she was doing; scanning a screen full of long lines of data that looked pretty incomprehensible.

“Where's Orthoclase?” he asked, daring a sip of the liquid. It tasted kind of good this time.

“She is making arrangements to see a Jade in the west quarter,” Ginger replied, eyes still on those rapidly scrolling lines. “The Jade's operations are invite only, she's trying to secure us a place for middle quadrant.”

“Is it another pearl?” Steven asked, though he sort of knew the answer already.

“Yes. Jade has a pearl that sings publicly on a regular basis. It would improve the anchor to borrow her.”

“Okay,” Steven said, fidgeting. “Where's Murder Pearl?”

It was the first time he'd spoken the nickname out loud, and he watched Ginger carefully for a sign that she disapproved. Nothing.

“She released her form,” Ginger replied. “She has a hairline fracture at the base of her gem, she releases when she's not on call.”

That made a lot of sense, and it also made Steven feel really, really bad for Murder Pearl. He didn't doubt all those knocks she took in the arena made the fracture worse, and she'd also been saddled with a really awful nickname. She seemed like a good gem; she had saved Ginger, after all.

I could have used my healing spit to fix her fracture. I'll use it next time I see her.

That next time would be a while; Orthoclase burst through the door a moment later.

“I got two tickets,” she announced. “They're not great seats but I can put you on a box if you want, pebble.”

“What about Ginger?” Steven asked.

“She doesn't need a ticket. Pearls don't count.”

…..

They passed a couple of hours with Orthoclase doing what she called a 'standard rejigging' on a pearl that seemed to be asleep. Steven was in the next room and Orthoclase had blocked off the operating table by a curtain, but from what he could see it looked pretty brutal. By the time she was finished the sleeping pearl was nearly a foot shorter and a completely different colour.

“I have to ask,” Steven said quietly as they were preparing to leave. “It seems like we're going a bit....slow with gathering the pearls. Is there any way we can get them faster?”

“I hear you, pebble,” Orthoclase told him, helping Ginger out of the culvert entrance and locking the door. “This thing is complex, more complex than even I thought. We need to get the important components together first, and we have almost all of them. After that, any pearl will do. Once we have this pearl, it'll speed us up.”

That was such a relief to hear Steven felt faint.

“How complex is it?” he asked, genuinely curious now.

“Lapis' pearl made a diagram,” Orthoclase said. “The anchor is important, and there's a radiating pattern that has to be matched. Anchor in the centre, three pearls forming the column, and six around them to fan it out. Then the rest of the pearls make it grow.”

“Oh.” He was already confused.

“Not only that, but they all have to be in a particular position, they all have to move at the same time and to the same beat, otherwise it all falls apart. Lapis' pearl seems to think we've got a good chance though.”

“It will work,” Ginger assured him. “We won't let her down.”

Strange, even though she said it in that airy, vague way she had of speaking, something about Ginger's words held a steely determination.

They weren't heading for the bad area of town, which was why Orthoclase seemed happy to let Ginger walk with them. They hit two checkpoints on the way in and Ginger's jaw was once again cracked. No matter how many times he saw it, Steven couldn't get used to seeing it. It looked horrifically painful.

“When was the last time you cleaned that thing?” Orthoclase growled at the Topaz performing the check.

“It's iodine washed every cycle,” the Topaz replied smoothly, not even looking at Orthoclase.

“Yeah right,” Orthoclase snorted.

Their destination was a set of buildings stacked in, on and around each other so tightly that they had to pass through single file to get to the place they were going. They stopped at a tall building at the top of a long escalator; to Steven's eye it looked like a nightclub of some sort but did gems have clubbing on Homeworld?

On the inside, it was fancy. Red and gold interior, mirrored floors and ceilings, and full of gems in formal wear. He, Orthoclase and to a lesser extent Ginger looked very out of place. A glamorous-looking gem with orange skin and a flicker of flame-like red hair was singing on a small stage, cheered on by a number of drunken-looking tall gems.

“You should have taken the back entrance,” a voice informed them snidely. They all looked down.

Aquamarine?

It wasn't the one he'd met before, this one was just as tiny but her hair was pulled back in a tight bun and she looked merely irritated and not furious by their presence.

“Sorry,” Orthoclase shrugged, clearly not sorry at all. “First time here and all. You wanna show us where to go?”

The aquamarine sighed heavily, turned sharply on her heel and beckoned for them to follow her.

“Have your tickets ready,” she said. “You can leave your pearl in the holding pen...”

“I'd rather keep her with us, thanks.”

“Of course you would,” Aquamarine sighed again. “Any weapons or sharp objects?”

“No,” Orthoclase answered, and Steven shook his head.

“You'll be going through the scanner, if you are found to be lying we'll be calling the authorities to report intoxication and general assault.”

“We've got nothing on us,” Orthoclase told her.

“Good. There is a general ban on manifesting weapons, if you manifest a weapon...”

“Intoxication and assault, we get it,” Orthoclase grumbled.

There was a scanner like the one Steven had seen once at the airport in front of a large set of double doors. Several gems were already proceeding through it; they were a mix of clearly well-heeled gems along with a number of rougher types, including himself and Orthoclase.

“The nanobytes won't set off the scanner, will they?” Steven whispered to Ginger.

“Not while I'm within ten pelmetres of you,” she whispered back.

Sure enough, they got through the scanner with no problems and were filtered into some seats in a coliseum-type arrangement. The seats were shabby, foam-covered and covered in little holes but even the clearly rich gems didn't seem to care. As the seats filled, two young-looking short gems handed out objects from a black box.

Are those...knives?

When the box was brought around to them (Orthoclase took three, offered one to Ginger, who refused) he got a closer look and they were, in fact, knives. Specifically, they looked like the kind of knives he'd seen ninjas use in movies before. Small, thick, balanced. A red-coloured band was wrapped around the hilt. He held the one given to him by Orthoclase gingerly. What kind of show was this?

The lights dimmed, and into the centre of the room walked a pale green gem dressed in flowing robes. She smiled and waved at the cheering audience, then called for silence.

“Do we have any new-hatches in the audience?”

A number of gems hooted and waved their arms.

“My reputation precedes me,” the green gem laughed. “Well, I'll keep it simple so we can get on with the show. You're holding a tenner blade in your hands. When you see the colour on the band pop up on the screen, you throw it into the ring. Simple, right?”

The audience laughed indulgently.

“But that's not much fun on its own,” the green gem continued. “We need something to aim at. Come on out!”

A crawling feeling had been building in Steven's stomach since being handed the blade, he knew it would be something like this. Sure enough, a pearl stepped lightly into the ring. Draped in some sort of silky trailing fabric, her hair elaborately pinned up....

Her eyes are closed. Why are her eyes closed?

…shimmer dust coating her exposed arms, legs and face, right down to the furrows under her closed eyes.

“Throw from anywhere in the audience, pearl here will hear it and dodge. As you can see, she lacks eyes to see what's coming, but there's nothing wrong with her hearing. It's has been specially tailored to allow for super-sensitive hearing...but we can't make it too easy on her, can we?”

The audience roared that no, they couldn't.

The curtain fell on an enormous drum overlooking the arena. A large hulking gem that Steven couldn't identify stood with a gong, ready to strike. The Jade took her bow and scurried away to cheering, and the pearl took her position in the centre.

“Did you remodel her?” Steven whispered to Orthoclase.

Orthoclase snorted, annoyed.

“Not me,” she hissed. “That's Spinel's work. If I'd done it, I wouldn't have left those marks under her eyes.”

“Is she really blind?” Steven asked.

“Of course. Standard eye removal, one of the easiest jobs there is,” Orthoclase answered. “'Course, when I do it I usually replace the eyes instead of just leaving them out...”

“Ssh!” a gem from behind them hissed, and although she made what was probably a rude gesture Orthoclase went silent.

The overhead screen went blue, and the burly gem hammered the drum. A flurry of sharp metal objects flew into the arena, but the pearl spun, dipped and cartwheeled until the last one hit the ground. None had hit her.

The screen turned purple, and another flurry descended on the arena. The blind pearl somersaulted gracefully out of the path of most of them, sank to the floor on her knees to avoid the others, and leaped over one that had been kept back and thrown at the last minute. She landed neatly on the hilt of one of the previously thrown blades, stood there on tiptoe with one leg stretched out behind her. She gave the audience the tiniest of smiles as they roared their approval.

When the red screen came up, Steven couldn't bear to throw his blade so he just dropped it over the side. The pearl dodged these blades as easily as the others, rolling out of their path and nimbly side-stepping the ones stuck into the floor. She finished each throw with a beautifully-cut balletic pose and a raucous applause from the watching gems.

A little too raucous, at least for one gem.

Steven's attention had been turned to Ginger, when he noticed she wasn't watching the blind pearl perform but watching another gem in the audience. He turned to look at this gem himself.

It was a dark green gem, not particularly big but intimidating all the same. She seemed drunk, or whatever the gem equivalent was. The pale blue gem beside her looked mortified to be in her company.

Out of the corner of his eye, Steven saw Ginger's fingers go to her mouth. Her lips moved, but he couldn't hear any sound come out of them. Her fingers flickered, as though she was breathing something into them. With one audible exhale, she dropped her hands and looked to the blind pearl.

The blind pearl's head tilted slightly. The drumming hadn't started, the screen was waiting for a new colour to be picked, but her body seemed poised to move...

There was a rush of wind as a blade, far too large to be one of the handed-out blades, rocketed right towards the blind pearl. It should have been moving too fast for her to dodge it...

...and yet she did, throwing herself backwards into the air just above where the blade should have skewered her. It missed her by a hair, just catching her cheek and slicing a long cut there. The blade clattered to the arena floor and the blind pearl landed just behind it. A green bloodlike substance trickled from her face to soak her robes.

“You!” the Jade screamed as she suddenly reappeared, pointing at the intoxicated gem. “You've been warned, for Core's sake! Who let you in here?”

“I'm sorry, Jade,” the pale blue gem moaned. “She promised me she'd be on her best behavior!”

“This performance is canceled,” Jade hissed. “Everyone out before the Amethyst squad gets here!”

The gems moaned and bitched, but they left. The two young gems collected the blades and Jade ushered the pearl out of the arena, oblivious to Orthoclase, Steven and Ginger following them.

“That was quite a show,” Orthoclase drawled, catching Jade as she dabbed at the blind pearl's face muttering darkly to herself.

“Oh...this is all I need,” she groaned. “What in Core's name do you want?”

“Relax, I can help you,” Orthoclase told her. “I need to borrow your pearl for a while.”

“Borrow?” Jade snorted. “What for?”

“Top secret,” Orthoclase shrugged. “I need her voice. You'll get her back in one piece...actually, you'll get her back in better condition. I can fix that cut....and I'll even get rid of those marks under her eyes, and all for free.”

Jade looked from Orthoclase to the blind pearl, and touched the blind pearl's facial markings gingerly with her thumb.

“I suppose,” she groaned. “Show's canceled for a while anyway. I got your word on this?”

“On my honour as a remodeler.”

Jade snorted derisively, but she handed over the blind pearl in the end.

…..

They dropped Steven off at the workshop, but Orthoclase and Ginger went off somewhere together because apparently fixing the blind pearl was going to take some special equipment. He was a little taken aback to find Murder Pearl sitting on the couch, not really doing anything besides staring into space.

“Uh, hi,” he said awkwardly.

“Hello,” she replied, unblinking and utterly still.

“I'm....I'm actually glad you're here,” he continued. “I wanted to thank you for what you did for Ginger...and for me, I guess. I would've been in big trouble if they found me, right? But mostly for Ginger.”

“I did what I was supposed to,” Murder Pearl said in that same airy, vague way Ginger had of speaking.

“I guess, but I still owe you. So I was thinking...Ginger said you had a fracture in your gem somewhere?”

She stared at him, not nodding or shaking her head. Just staring.

“I've got healing powers. Like, I have healing spit, and I already used it to fix some pearls...I can fix you, if you want?”

It seemed like the air suddenly turned thick, heavy. Murder Pearl didn't say a word.

“So, do you want to be fixed?” he asked, wishing she would say something.

“Do you want to fix me?” she asked instead.

“Well, sure I do!” he answered. “You deserve it!”

“Then I will accept.”

Relieved, and thinking that once she was fixed he stood a better chance of having an actual conversation with her, Steven licked his hand and pressed it over her gem. He didn't know what to expect. Maybe a smile, maybe even some tears...

Nothing.

No, there was something. Her face didn't change but something about the way she held herself was different.

“Thank you,” she said to him. “I will be back soon.”

Before he could ask what that meant, she had taken the hook she'd used to attack that Amethyst back at the old workshop and scaled the wall with uncanny ease. She pulled the grate off of the upper vent and disappeared into it.

Oh no.

The next hour or however long it took was unbearably tense. He'd messed up badly, and he didn't even know why. When somebody did come back, it was Ginger and she noticed straight away that something was wrong.

“Where is Murder Pearl?” she asked, still airy and vague but with a note of tension undercutting it.

“I'm sorry,” Steven said through gritted teeth, trying hard not to cry. “I just wanted to thank her for saving us, so I healed her...then she said she'd be back and she went out the vent!”

He didn't think it was possible for a pearl to go paler than they already were. Ginger proved him wrong.

“That was a mistake,” she told him, not scolding but matter-of-fact, which only made him feel worse.

“What's going to happen?” he asked, dreading the answer.

“Normally, a pearl's spike keeps her under control,” Ginger explained, as she pulled out a tablet and started furiously typing. “Murder Pearl's is no longer effective, but her damaged gem kept her from attacking other gems outside of the arena. She has nothing to hold her back now.”

That sounded really bad, even when said in Ginger's soft smooth tone. It sounded disastrous.

“I've messaged Orthoclase to tell her to stay away from the workshop,” Ginger continued. “We should wait until Murder Pearl returns. When she does, stay behind me and don't move. Understand?”

Gulping, Steven nodded.

Student Exploration: DNA Analysis

Vocabulary: allele, codon, DNA, DNA sequence, gene, genotype, identical twins, nitrogenous base, phenotype, trait

Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)

The two navy officers shown at left are identical twins. Why do you think identical twins look so similar?

Most brothers and sisters don’t look exactly the same. What causes most siblings to have different appearances?

Gizmo Warm-up

Most of an organism’s traits, or characteristics, are determined by genes encoded in DNA. Traits are determined by the sequence of the four nitrogenous bases in the DNA molecule: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

Except for identical twins, the DNA sequence of every individual is unique. In the DNA Analysis Gizmo™, you will analyze partial DNA sequences of frogs.

Select the POPULATION tab. What are the three main traits that vary between the frogs?

Which frog would you expect to have the most similar DNA sequence to frog A? Why?

Activity A:

Identical twins

Get the Gizmo ready:

Select the FIND THE TWINS tab.

Question: How are DNA sequences used to analyze relationships?

Observe: Look at the three frogs on the TWINS tab. How does their appearance compare?

Predict: What do you expect the DNA sequences of the three frogs to look like?

Identify: Drag frog A to the scanning station and click SCAN. Drag the resulting DNA sequence to the bin at the upper right of the Gizmo. Each band on the sequence represents a single nitrogenous base of DNA. The band is dark if that base is present and pink if that base is absent.

Scan frogs B and C. Drag their DNA sequences into the bin. If two frogs are identical twins, they will have exactly the same DNA sequence. Compare the three sequences.

Could any of these frogs be identical twins? If so, which frogs?

Analyze: DNA is composed of four different nitrogenous bases. For the type of DNA sequence used by the Gizmo, a complete DNA sequence would have scan readouts for all four nitrogenous bases. Knowing this, why can you not be entirely certain the frogs are identical twins using the simplified sequences on the Gizmo?

Apply: Click New.For the new frogs, find the possible pair of identical twins.

Which two frogs could be identical twins?

How do you think DNA sequences can be used in the real world to identify relationships between individuals?

Activity B:

Comparing genes

Get the Gizmo ready:

Select the POPULATION tab.

Introduction: In this frog population, traits such as eye color, skin color, and spots are coded for in the DNA. For each gene, there are two alleles, or versions. The sequence of nitrogenous bases in a strand of DNA make up an organism’s genotype. The physical traits resulting from the genotype makes up the organism’s phenotype.

Question: How is DNA sequences used to analyze traits?

Observe: Describe frog A’s phenotype.

Compare: Which frogs share frog A’s skin color, but not its eye color or spots?

Analyze: A group of three consecutive nitrogenous bases in a strand of DNA is a codon. In a real organism, genes are made up of hundreds of codons. In the Gizmo, a single codon codes for a trait. Scan frog A and the two frogs that share only frog A’s skin color.

Turn on the Comparison guides, and compare the three DNA sequences. Codon 1 is made up of bases 1–3, codon 2 is made up of bases 4–6, etc. The last two bases are part of codon 7, which was cut off when the scan was made.

Which codon or codons are identical in all three frogs?

Scan more frogs with orange skin until you are confident that you have identified the correct codon that represents the allele for orange skin. Describe the results:

Which codon codes for orange skin in this frog population?

Analyze: Pick out two frogs with blue skin and nothing else in common.

Which codon do they share?

Scan two more frogs with blue skin to confirm you have identified the correct codon. Describe the results:

(Activity B continued on next page)

Activity B (continued from previous page)

Collect Data: Fill in the column for orange skin in the table below. For the codon pattern, shade in the dark bands but not the light colored bands. Then, continue scanning frogs until you are able to complete the rest of the columns in the table.

Orange skin

Blue skin

Pink eyes

Green eyes

Spots

No spots

Codon

Bases

A,B,E,F,I,J,M,N

C,D,G,H,K,L,O,P

A,E,I,M,C,G,K,O

B,F,J,N,D,H,L,P

A,B,C,D,I,J,K,L

E,F,G,H,M,N,O,P

Codon pattern

511

Analyze: Does the same codon always control skin color, eye color, and the presence of spots? Why do you think this is the case?

Apply: Look at the DNA sequence at right. Describe the frog’s phenotype.

Interpret: Click New to get a new population. Again, determine which codons code for which traits. Compare the results with the table above. How do the codons used to code for skin color, eye color, and spots in this new population of frogs compare to the first population you tested?

Explain: Suppose a biologist found a rare frog and wanted to determine which species it belonged to. How could a biologist use a DNA sequence of the frog to accomplish this task?

Extend your thinking: What other applications of DNA sequences can you think of?

Remembering the days we spent chasing congalala, understanding lifi and taking a look at Intel's AX200 wireless card

Summer is at its peak, Rain is around the corner. Soon the heavy clouds will leak, So says my trusty informer.

Between you and me as you might have perceived, but nevertheless I will come out and say it in clear terms, to remove any remaining doubt, that I’m no expert in wireless technology. The whole thing seems to me quite astonishing infact. There lies a box in the corner holding a wand. You (s)witch it on and it will send you data over the air. What sorcery is that?

However many people have pointed out to me that it is no magic. On the contrary it is a phenomenon that has been studied scientists,verified by engineers and regulated law makers. It is very much real. So I take their word for it and believe in it myself.

But technology changes so quickly. Just as we have broken the gigabit barrier in wifi a new invention has come up. LiFi or Light Fidelity a new form of communication that promises something even more incredible. To use visible light for wireless transmission. Our readers demand to know its status. We scramble for answers.

And before we could satisfactorily answer one query more questions are raised. It is in these trying times we come to accept our limitations. However we don’t let that stop us. After many hours of reading arcane specifications and trying to make sense of this rapidly progressing world of communication technology we present our thoughts to you on the matter, hoping that you’ll be so kind as to pardon the inconsistencies and factual errors that may have mistakenly crept in despite the most careful efforts of a tired staff.

What happened to LiFi technology?

Thank you for A2A. Light is an electromagnetic wave. It is already the most dominant form communication in both wireless and wired varieties. Fiber optic communication which powers today’s internet broadband service uses light. Wireless communication such as wifi [1] and Bluetooth use electromagnetic spectrum of light. TV remotes have used IR waves for switching channels.

So there is precedent in using light waves for communication in modern world.

LIFI intends to use visible light signals for wireless communication. Note the emphasis on visible light. We are not talking about radio waves here. We mean light we can see. Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow,Orange and Red. Including UV and IR (IR as we have noted has already had a very successful implementation in remote controls for TV )

The idea is good. But the implementation is going to be tricky because of following reasons

Client support. Even if you build base stations for wireless visible light communication how are you going to get users to use them? Lot of work needs to be done in this area. There is however no reason that signals can’t be transformed from visible light to other already supported mediums like wifi to provide communication.

Visible light affects humans. So the intensity of light must be kept low. At lower intensities will the technology reduce to point to point communication? If so what happens to roaming devices? These are the questions I have not found answers to. Considering the negative press that 5G is getting for its millimeter wave , the use of UV in LIFI is going to be a PR nightmare. I can already hear cries from beauty experts on how LIFI is damaging their skin!

LIFI positions itself as a short range communication medium. That gives it protection against hackers. [2] At short range, lets say within room how can it be cheaper than a near free Ethernet cable that has universal support? Especially in the industrial application where LIFI aims to reduce electromagnetic interference. The easiest/cheapest way is to use wired communication. I might care about aesthetics in my hotel lobby. But in a workplace I want something reliable and well supported. If LIFI had increased distance transmission capacity say more than 70 M then it would have been a better substitute.

So to answer your question. LIFI is promising. But like every new invention LIFI needs to overcome technological, economical and marketing challenges. These things will take time. I’m sure that it will find a niche that will transform into a big industry. But its going to take time.

Talking about niches there’s one upcoming technology called optical computing [3](utilized in what is known as a photonic computer) that could replace electronic circuits. At the moment fiber optic cables are used to transmit light. In an optical computer therefore it would make sense that fiber optic cables would form the data transfer medium.

Here lifi technology could be utilized. In a controlled environment like inside of a CPU case you can benefit from all the positives of visible light communication while experiencing none of the negatives.

[1] Is LIFI a substitute for WIFI? https://www.quora.com/Is-LiFi-a-...

[2] “The light waves cannot penetrate walls which makes a much shorter range, though more secure from hacking, relative to Wi-Fi.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Fi

[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_computing

What was your amazing experience with wireless technology?

It was raining outside. Power was out. We were supposed to be attending lecture. We skipped. I turned on my psp. My friend did the same. I had the black one. His was jet blue, slim.

We were going to hunt Congalala. He was a low level monster. An ape. Quick on his feet. Fond of fart bombing his enemies. Ice was his weakness. So we crafted out ice elemental weapons. Still he was too good for us.

We died often and when we didn’t we ran out of time. You must finish a quest within 50 minutes. Or else its game over. We were novice hunters in those days. Knew little about the habitat of the beast we were hunting. Even less about the mysterious jungle in which he dwelled.

We played and played until the battery ran out. But he got the best of us. We lost all our money. Our equipment was rendered useless. Our preparation futile. The beast won every time we attempted to take him down.

That was the start of an epic 700 hour long wireless multiplayer campaign. I haven’t felt the same way about any other game since. Even now a decade later sometimes I dream about Monster Hunter.

At that time psp was a very competent multiplayer device. A 32 bit arm 9 chip powered its 802.11b wifi. Upto 16 players could play simultaneously. But most games allowed only 4. Enabling a speed of upto 11 mbps back in 2005. It was unlike anything the world had seen before. A handheld [2]multiplayer gaming device that could stream!

Monster hunter was a sensational adhoc multiplayer success. Selling a combined total of 10M copies in japan alone.

That was 11 years ago. Multiplayer games these days need internet to work . If you don’t have a fast connection or if the server is taken down you’re out of luck. I do see a change around the corner. Game streaming is becoming more common now. We’ll need different kind of devices to [1] enable this kind of gaming. Those devices will most probably be wireless. That’s the amazing experience that I’ll be looking forward to.

[1] Return of wireless adhoc multiplayer. https://workrockin.quora.com/Ret...

[2] Nintendo Switch’s wireless capabilities look extremely promising for the future of gaming (https://workrockin.quora.com/The-wireless-features-of-Nintendo-switch)

How fast is Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 wireless network adapter card?

Thank you for A2A. The chip can do 2.4 gbps but only if you’re using 5ghz channel. Otherwise 573.6 mpbs on 2.4 ghz.

To calculate speeds look at the data rates table on wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IE...

The max speed is in the lowest column (#11) on the table. As an example assume we want to calculate the max speed of 2.4 ghz.

2.4 ghz band can have a max width of 40 mhz. And according to the spec [1] we have 2 transmitters. So the max speed in 2.4 ghz band is

2*286.8 = 573.6 mbps

Similarly 5ghz band can have a max of

2 * 1.2 =2.4 gbps

Some more details on the AX200 hardware

intel launched AX200 wifi 6 chip [1] last month. It is competitively priced between $10-$17 [2] . Before we take a look at the hardware it would be good to start with a brief on wifi 6

Wifi 6 is is technically defined by 802.11ax standard. Although it works in both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands the highest speed in 160 mhz channel is only attainable in 5ghz band. And since 5ghz has lesser range than 2.4 ghz it means that you can only enjoy the highest speed at lesser distances. [3]

Max speed on a single radio, widest (160 mhz) channel is 1.2 gbps.

Since the standard works in both 2.4 and 5ghz bands it is backwards compatible with all other wifi standards. Which means that all your wifi client devices will work with a wifi 6 access point whether they themselves support wifi 6 or not. [3]

With that out of the way lets see what chip has for us in terms of hardware

2 transmission and 2 receive radios. Which means that we get a max throughput of 1.2*2= 2.4 gbps (note the point #2 above)

Dual band support with max channel width of 160 MHZ.

Integrated support for bluetooth 5.

Not bad for its price I’d say [4].

[1] https://ark.intel.com/content/ww...

[2] When purchased in volumes of thousands. This price is only for device manufacturers. But this is also good news for consumers because they’ll be getting the latest networking technology at cheap prices.

[3] FCC has a test report for the chip in which they specify the supported modulation schemes (page 6). BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM. Which confirms the backwards compatibility with all wifi standards.

Note that the FCC document only measures up to 256-QAM. But intel’s product page indicates a max speed of 2.4 gbps which means that it should support 1024-QAM. I’m not sure why it is not covered in the fcc document.

https://fccid.io/PD9AX200D2L/RF-Exposure-Info/RF-Exposure-SAR-Report-4213237.pdf

[4] The actual performance that you’ll achieve will also depend upon the hardware of your system. The wireless card is mostly a peripheral and its optimal performance is contingent on the capabilities of host device.

Chapter 2 Withers

Daring Do sat across the cluttered desk from Withers. The washed out yellow unicorn with a mane and tail to match but even paler, looked over the list of locations, comparing the written notes to many maps. He had a nervous habit of scratching behind his right ear, which he was doing now.

“You are working for DISCORD?” he asked, incredulous.

Daring Do nodded, “Basically so, yes. Actually, she was in her female form as Eris. Still, the same being.”

Withers shook his head in puzzlement. “Why would you want to do ANYTHING for Discord, even if it is Eris in form?”

Daring Do grinned lopsidedly and fished in her briefcase. “Here is why. The Princesses both asked me to.”

She laid out her letter from the joint Crowns of Equestria.

Withers took one look and pointed out, “They do not say what the task is, do they? Did Eris bother to tell you what these places and times mean?”

Daring Do shrugged both shoulders and wings at once. “Partly. We all know that magic is not instantaneous. Especially, long range magic can have quite noticeable delays. The places and first times are where Eris began to do some unspecified task. The second time is when she encountered disruption of her work.

“I hope that you can reduce this data to give me a search area for the source of the disturbances.”

Withers looked up and nodded slowly. “I see.”

He pulled down a well worn volume from the crammed shelves of his office. He opened it and flipped through with practiced ease.

“Let me see, variables and constants of magic, humm, speed of propagation. Here we are. 6000 meters per second, roughly. That will give us a starting point.”

He began to click beads and move a sliding rule back and forth, adjusting a hairline and reading results. Those he entered into a neat table.

Looking up with a bit of a grin, his nervous ear scratching at a total standstill, Withers announced, “This could become a fascinating exercise in spherical trigonometry, or we could just make a few measurements on the world globe in the University Library!”

Daring Do snickered and pointed out, “Much as I would love to sit and watch you calculate for the next week, I think that the library is our best option!”

As she was opening the door to the office, Daring Do heard hooves scurrying down the hall. Checking quickly only allowed her to see a bit of a black tail vanishing around a corner of the hallway.

As they were crossing the tree lined University Commons, Withers commented, “There is a Rom band camped down at the fairgrounds. The commissary found out that they were there and bought a bunch of their famous Ka'check pastries and flavored coffees to go with the Rom tea that they always stock.”

Daring Do almost slid to a stop. “We are going the wrong way! Saving the world can wait! Rom pastries await us!”

She turned onto the path for the Royal University Commissary, almost sprinting! Withers was not far behind!

As they entered the big building, a glossy chestnut colored mare with a single perfectly centered eye, a mane and tail that were so deep a blue as to seem almost black, raised a hoof and called out, “Doctor Do! Professor Withers! Over here! I took the liberty of getting us all big tray full of pastries and got us some of the Rom coffees to wash them down!”

They dodged through the maze of dining tables. As Daring Do pulled up her seat, she snagged the nice hot caramel flavored coffee and an apricot filled Ka'chek roll to dip into it.

She sighed happily and said, “This is how I should be treated! Thank you Cy.” Turning to Withers, Daring Do introduced, “Withers, I would like you to meet Cyrene Yvonne Clopes, special assistant to Eris. Cy, this is Professor Withers, a brilliant statistician. He may have a handle on the problem that you suggested that I work on.” She finished her introduction by dunking her apricot roll into the coffee and munching serenely.

Withers helped himself to one with apple filling and took a simple honey cream coffee for himself. As he was dunking his pastry into his coffee, he asked, “Is it alright if I call you Cy?”

Cy nodded and offered, “If I can call you Withers, sure.” Before he could ask, she replied to his thought, “I am a third generation spell fallout pony from the Great South Bay Invasion Mage/Tech blast. The first generation, the ones exposed to the spell fallout, showed no overt ill effects. About eighty percent of their foals died before or soon after birth from fatal magical mutations. The foals of the third generation, mostly lived, though many were severely affected. I am one of the lucky ones who was affected but not too severely.”

Withers looked down, a bit ashamed, but forged ahead, “I know about the spell fallout issue. I did a major statistical work on the survivors. I never heard of your particular case before this. I am sorry. Seeing you, sort of brings home the abstract numbers.”

Cy reached across the table and touched Withers gently. “It is quite alright. I am used to those who stare because of my appearance. It pleases me in a mean sort of way to know that I make far more than most of them. Eris regards me highly and rewards me accordingly.”

Withers looked up, dunked his pastry in coffee and spoke around a mouthful of goodness, “Thank you for that. Now, I am quite sure that you did not come all the way from the Eris Inc. enclave outside of Ponyville just to get us pastries and coffee, however good those are.”

Cy sobered down. “True. I have three more data points for you and I brought Doctor Do a few things too.” She pushed sealed envelopes across the table.

Daring Do looked to Cy for permission to open hers. At her nod, Daring Do opened the envelope and examined the drawing within, minutely.

Cy nibbled at some of the pastries too, while the others were working. Withers looked up first, frowning slightly.

“Either all this data is wrong, the ones giving the orders are not on the world of Equestria, or the orders being given are going through a relay. To solve this, we are going to need to locate the relay point. It would be a big help if I knew whether the detection at the initiation point was active or passive.”

Cy pulled out a Magic Net mirror and tapped codes. They could see her speaking but a mute spell kept them from hearing either Cy or the speaker at the other end of the connection.

Giving Withers a calculating look, Cy suggested, “Doctor Do, I think that if he is willing to go with you, not only will Withers be a valuable asset, we could risk telling you two what it is that Eris does.

“First, though, the Compass tracks Eris passively. It is somehow being abused to locate where she is doing her works. Does that help, Professor Withers?”

Scratching his ear as he thought, his eyes brightened. His smile was nearly angelic. His pen nearly flew as he added columns to his present table.

Looing up to Cy’s single eye confidently, he stated, “It does make it absurdly simple. The link from the Compass to where the orders are being relayed is approximately a constant.

“The detection leg and the order leg will vary by their relationship to the work site. We will plot the work sites on the globe and measure arcs based on the difference between detection and action legs.

“It will take a few trials but we should have the length of the constant relay leg in only an hour or two. Arcs drawn based on the speed of magic propagation will pin down the areas where the Compass is and where the relay point is.

“It won’t be too accurate, but it will give us useful areas to search, depending on what it is that you want to do.”

Cy sucked in her cheeks as she thought. “We wish to recover the Compass of Discord or, in the worst case, destroy it.

“That last should be reserved as an option of desperation. There is enough non equine magic wrapped up in it that doing so will rival the Circle Lake blast at the end of the Nightmare Wars.

“We do not care about the Discordians as such. Whether some are killed or not is of no consequence.”

Withers mulled that over while they finished off the pastries and coffee. Finally he suggested, “Let us repair to the Library and start plotting this data on the world globe there. Now that we have done justice to these goodies, it is time to save the world!”

As she got up from the table, Cy remarked dryly, “That is more literal than you may think.”

Entering the Library, they were greeted by the silence and the scent of books and manuscripts. With assurance, Withers strode up to the main desk.

“Hello, Morail! I need to use the big world globe again. I have a commission in geographical statistics that I wish to demonstrate to Doctor Do and Cyrene, here.”

Morail gave Withers an almost adoring stare as she replied, “Certainly, Sir! I know that it is not officer training class, but I want you to know that I have burst fire on the MT84 held to fifteen centimeters at 60 meters.”

Withers responded, “That is excellent, Morail! I believe that it is a unit record. I can’t wait to see you shoot when it is time for class!”

To the others, Withers said modestly, “I am a retired Major in the Equestrian Army. I teach both reserves and the officer training program, besides statistics.”

Morail opened a door and they were faced with a room that had five globes of the world in it. The largest was almost two meters across. Withers strode confidently up to the big one, picking up a rack of objects with tags attached, a cloth measure tape and a marker.

He began placing the objects on the globe and filling in the tags. From each object he measured and marked off an arc.

He commented, “These are wrong. They assume that the relay/action is one half and detection is one half. They will give us a rough cut for the action center.”

Daring Do noted, “That rough cut puts things into the Selene Mountains on the border of the Zebra Confederation and the Eland Republic.”

Cy consulted with her Magic Net mirror for a moment. She picked up one of the sticky things with a tag and put it into the Selenes at a specific spot. “Mistress Eris has ordered me to reveal the location of the Hidden Temple of Discord. If they had remained basically harmless nut cases like they were in the past, she would never have done so, no matter how much she detests them.”

Withers took one look and erased his old lines and arcs. He drew new lines directly from each place to the Hidden Temple, carefully measuring each one and entering it into a new table. He began to subtract the new entries from entries in his old table. In only minutes, he smiled.

Withers measured carefully from the Hidden Temple and struck an arc across the Selene Mountains. From each of the other points he struck arcs that intersected his first one. They all came together in one small space.

Confidently, he pointed and stated, “There it is. The Detection center is in that spot. Of course at this scale, that is about a twenty five kilometer circle.”

Cy observed, “That is about twenty five kilometers better than we knew it before. The problem remains, that Eris and I cannot go to get it. They will detect us and move it before we can get there.

“Doctor Do, it is up to you. Can you go to the Zebra Confederation and get the Compass of Discord for us?”

Withers nodded, “Hate to put you on the spot, Doctor Do but if you go, I would be honored to accompany you.”

Daring Do Took a sheet of paper and drew a few small runes on it and laid it over the Selene Mountains. The paper conformed neatly to the globe. A perfect copy of the globe surface with Withers’ intersecting arcs appeared on it. She removed the paper and flattened it out on a table, then folded it neatly and put it into her saddle bag.

Finally she commented, “Can’t go without at least some sort of map! At least now I have some idea of where I am going!”

Information, Computing, and the Future HW8

1. TRIZ:

a. Rows:

The three improvements to Deepfake videos and images can be high accuracy detection, quality videos without lagging, and restricting the usage of Deepfakes. High accuracy detection for Deepfakes will allow companies and other organizations to protect its privacy while also helping cybersecurity officials catch hackers with malice intentions. Quality videos of Deepfakes may be essential to film creators. I remember when actor Paul Walker died during the filming of a sequel to Fast & Furious. They were still able to finish the movie using bits and pieces of his acting through technology. Deepfakes can help create videos of people while they are not actually there. Restricting the usage of deepfakes is another improvement that should benefit this technology. Restrictions of its usage will only lessen the act of malice intent on it. While it may not stop it all the way, having consequences for malice usage of Deepfakes could stop people from creating them.

Columns:

The conflict with high accuracy detection of Deepfake is the improvements being made in the creation of it through videos. The detection could require a big dataset to work and many researchers are struggling to create it.

The conflict with quality Deepfake videos is how new the technology is and how much information needs to be learned about it. Also, the human face does things that are hard for a computer to replicate like winking and blinking.

The conflict with restricting the usage of deepfakes is identifying the creator of the image or video. Hackers have become pretty good at staying anonymous so it would be hard to find them.

Cells:

The solution for the conflict of high accuracy detection of Deepfake is the collaboration of researchers to find methods and the focused study of it. Due to how new the technology is, further research, study, and time will allow for the innovation of detection.

The solution for the conflict of creating quality videos of Deepfakes is building better tools and technology to improve machine learning.

The solution for the conflict of employing restrictions against Deepfakes would be building better and more focused cybersecurity teams against Deepfakes.

b. I think the biggest technology that branched out to have the ability to do further other things was the computer. In the beginning, the computer was used to perform calculations and computations. Most of its work was doing a task that can be automated and done faster than a human. The Turing Machine is a device that printed symbols on paper tape in a manner that emulated a person following a series of logical instructions. It is the foundation of theories that computers are built on. While the main foundations of computers remain the same, I don’t think the earliest computer scientists could have imagined what the modern computer is today. For example, computers are now used to play games, watch videos, listen to music, view social media, and many more. I’m not sure Alan Turing imagined people being able to use computers to play a role-playing video game. However, it shows how great the innovations have been!

2. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.11573.pdf

After researching, I have found this scholarly article that focuses a lot on the detection of Deepfakes. It focuses on the methods used to detect Deepfakes. Temporal features across video frames is one method that uses a two-step process for face manipulation detection where the preprocessing step aims to detect, crop and align faces on a sequence of frames and the second step distinguishes manipulated and authentic face images by combining convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network. Another method is visual artifacts within video frames where the tool decomposes videos into frames and explores visual artifacts within single frames to obtain discriminant features.

Also, the research has a table filled with a summary of prominent Deepfake detection methods along with the classifiers/techniques used to resolve them and the data sets used.

Along with the research, I have started on my tutorial of creating a Deepfake video using deepfacelab. I currently have trained my video through 1500 iterations. The below image shows the face of singer Freddie Mercury on a clip from a movie based on his band called Bohemian Rhapsody.

As you can tell, it still needs more training iterations to make it better. But, it is definitely improving and looks more realistic with more iterations.

Gym Quotes

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

• A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination. – Ishmael Reed • A great start to the perfect day – a world-class workout at the gym… It’s hard to feel miserable after a great workout. – Bradford Winters • A gym for the soul is a place where personal investment is required and the return is real. – Anne Bogart • A lot of people look at me as a big person. Some people consider me to be obese. Some people consider me fat and sloppy. Everybody knows that I have a big stomach, but I think sometimes that overshadows everything else on my body – from my calves to my back to my shoulders to my biceps. What people go to the gym and work for, I have. The only thing I don’t have that they got is six – packs. But I really don’t care about six-packs. – Vince Wilfork • A lot of people think, “Oh I’m going to eat whatever I want and then go to the gym.” And I’ve definitely been one of those people and it just doesn’t give me the results that I need to have the physique of a ballerina. – Misty Copeland • A lot of us lead relatively sedentary lifestyles, so you have to motivate yourself and force yourself to go to the gym and do active things. The folks that have figured it out, found that thing that they love and made it a big part of their lives, it’s easy for them to stay in shape. – Randy Couture • A lot of young people think they’re invincible, but the truth is young people are knuckleheads… Now young people can get insurance for as little as $50 a month, less than the cost of gym shoes. – Michelle Obama • As they were building that library in that school’s gym [in the Breakfast Club], they built a rehearsal space for us. It was really an empty room taped out with the same dimensions of the library. And they had the tables all there. And he had us sitting at the same table. All of us. – Judd Nelson • At Milan when I was younger, I worked a lot on the leg press because I’d lost a bit of my natural speed as my body was changing. I was growing too fast for the rest of my body to cope and I had some knee problems. I worked really hard in the gym to regain these fast sprints. – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang • At the gym, men are just as self conscious and check themselves out in the mirror just as much as women do. In regards to cooking, men can do more than BBQ. All you need to do is ask—but be sure to do it after the game! Oh, and, men do like salads, especially if they are topped off with bacon! – Chuck Hughes

jQuery(document).ready(function($) var data = action: 'polyxgo_products_search', type: 'Product', keywords: 'Gym', orderby: 'rand', order: 'DESC', template: '1', limit: '68', columns: '4', viewall:'Shop All', ; jQuery.post(spyr_params.ajaxurl,data, function(response) var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response); jQuery('#thelovesof_gym').html(obj); jQuery('#thelovesof_gym img.swiper-lazy:not(.swiper-lazy-loaded)' ).each(function () var img = jQuery(this); img.attr("src",img.data('src')); img.addClass( 'swiper-lazy-loaded' ); img.removeAttr('data-src'); ); ); ); • Because I used to play a lot of sport, I’ve always been in decent enough shape. When I used to get asked to do a bit of body work before a photo shoot I’d lie and say, ‘Yeah, I’m going to the gym.’ I literally never did anything. – Jamie Dornan • Bella [Hadid] is also very naturally gifted in beauty so she can also go whenever she wants to go to the gym. – Gigi Hadid • Bodybuilding is my craft and because it is my craft it dictates how I live. Because it dictates how I live it’s not just what I do in the gym but it’s also an accepted lifestyle. – Kai Greene • Boxing is the sweet science. So if you want to begin in the grass roots of boxing where women are on the same level as guys, you are talking hundreds of years. Men have been boxing everyday all day for a hundred years. So it will take some time. You will need to bring more young girls into the gym starting at 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. And it would have to be 100,000 of them. – Ann Wolfe • Boxing on Long Island – there is history there. It’s been a while since Buddy McGirt and Gerry Cooney, but you know, we are in kind of a resurgence now. We are putting our show there constantly – Star Boxing shows at the Paramount have drawn big crowds over the years and there is a lot of up and coming talent there now. You see more and more gyms with competitive professional fighters. – Chris Algieri • Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. – Muhammad Ali • Dating is like trying to catch a fish. Some guys go to the gym and have huge muscles and six-pack abs, and that attracts a lot of women. Other guys, they go and learn how to become pick-up artists so they charm their way into a woman’s heart, at least for the night. Then there are guys like myself, who don’t have either of those, but we have some level of generosity and can treat women with respect and open a door for them or buy them gifts. And surprisingly, buying presents happens to be one of the languages of love! And it’s one that many women relate to. – Brandon Wade • Decorating the gym can’t mask the fact that it smells like a mix between corsage and balls. – Daniel Tosh • Especially when I’m in the gym, I get really motivated by hip-hop. – Lindsey Vonn • Every time you have a carrot instead of a cookie, every time you go to the gym instead of going to the movies, that’s a costly investment in your health. But how much you want to invest is going to depend on how much longer you expect to live in the future, even if you don’t make those investments. – Emily Oster • Everything I do is in the gym so I’m always in gym clothes. – Simone Biles • Exercise is really important to me – it’s therapeutic. So if I’m ever feeling tense or stressed or like I’m about to have a meltdown, I’ll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls. – Michelle Obama • For me, time is everything, because from the time you wake up you have to have your heart and soul in this. You have to work through the day, you have to go to the gym, you have to eat, and yet you have to work as fast as possible to get home and get rest before the next day begins again. – Usain Bolt • Get enough exercise and sleep: Sounds trivial, but it’s not. You may have the urge to work 24/7, to skip the gym and to stay up late to get a few more things done. That’s short-sighted. Exercise and sleep are critical to having the physical and mental energy necessary to meet a challenge. – Gretchen Rubin • Get out and about. Rather than going to the same gym and doing the same thing, it’s a good opportunity to try different things. – Michael Klim • Good genetics are a start, but I have to go to the gym, look after my skin, and drink lots of water. It’s my job to take care of myself and my body. Happiness plays a big part in your appearance too. – Candice Swanepoel • Gotta stay in the gym, stay funny, stay sharp. I just love working. – Marlon Wayans • Gym Class is a band I am more directly involved with than any other band except for Fall Out Boy. – Patrick Stump • Gym is a center of capitalist breakdown, and everything is focused on the individual. – Jenny Hval • Gyms are always packed. The only machine available is the one that simulates the gynecological exam. You know, the Sharon Stone machine. – Jim Gaffigan • Honestly my style sense, I guess, started in high school when I was a volleyball player. That was just what I wore: leggings every single day with my sports bra so I didn’t have to change into it in the girls’ gym locker room and that’s kind of how it started. – Gigi Hadid • I am always in the gym sparring. I look at every fight kind of like a sparring match. – Chris Weidman • I blast “Northern Sky,” by the Capital Kings, on the way there, but at the gym, I totally zone out. – Gabby Douglas • I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind. – Wentworth Miller • I did archery when I was in high school. In our gym class we had two weeks of archery and I remember taking the bow and arrow and firing it up and across the street into a car parking lot. – John Barrowman • I do like a little make-up though. I like a little mascara and lip gloss at least. But when I go to the gym I’d feel weird wearing make-up. – Carmen Electra • I don’t [know] what everybody else’s motives are, I don’t know what your motives are, but mine is to portray the real life of an NBA player. And it’s not all about I just do everything, like I’m the hardest worker, or I love to play basketball every day, I go to the gym at eight and don’t leave until five. No, that’s not how it is. That’s not how I am. – Kevin Durant • I don’t know if I went to the gym, [but] Woody [Harrelson] was 24, and at that point I was like 37, which is when you realize you’re no longer 24. So in walked Woody, who was instantly great, but offstage, it was [all] testosterone. We’ll arm-wrestle. I still have, like, tendinitis in my elbow. Woody cleaned everybody’s clock in everything. Then we got less physical and went to chess, and he whipped our asses with chess. – Ted Danson • I don’t know what that gas is made of, but it can’t smell any worse than Ernie Johnson ‘s gym bag. – Charles Barkley • I don’t like going to the gym. – Adele • I don’t like junk food, just because I don’t like the taste of it, but I don’t go to the gym – ever. – Isla Fisher • I eat for a living, so working out is definitely part of my job, the same way that the eating, tasting, and drinking is. I try to keep up a consistent workout routine, but I’m not the kind of person who goes to the gym every day and does the same routine. – Gail Simmons • I exercise regularly; I make it a point to spend some time in the gym. It is important for people to enjoy their exercises, so choose a form of exercise that makes you happy. – Rain • I exercise. I go to the gym every day. It’s about respecting what you’re doing. You’re going on stage. You have to sleep. You have to be prepared. – Boy George • I find that, when I’m working, if I start the day with a run – outside, not in a gym, but just me out there in the elements, with only my own legs to propel me forward… It’s something to do with just being in the world and getting out of my own head. – Tom Hiddleston • I get bored doing the same activity over and over. In any one week, I could do a Pilates class, a yoga class, go to a gym, like a pump class, or do weights and then go for a run. Each day, I like to change it up a bit. – Jessica McNamee • I go the gym and I try to run on the treadmill and I listen to music but it doesn’t motivate me enough. So I’m going to get a recording of a pack of wolves gaining on me. People would be like, ‘Why is that guy crying on that treadmill over there?’ ‘I don’t know, but he’s been yelling, ‘help’ for like 20 minutes. He’s getting a good workout. – Demetri Martin • I go to the gym whenever I can. I actually have to eat to keep the weight on when I am working because I tend to lose too much weight. I like to workout. I don’t cook. Not really, I like good restaurants. And sometimes I get back from work and it is too late to eat dinner so I just go straight to bed and I wake up the next morning starving and have to eat cheeseburgers for the pure energy. But in general I am a pretty healthy eater. – Rebecca Romijn • I grew up as a horseback rider and a volleyball player so honestly when I got a gym membership in New York, I thought I was going to die. – Gigi Hadid • I had a guy come up to me once in the gym when I’m training arms and tell me that I should do curls this way. I looked at his arms and they were about fifteen inches. That would be like me walking up to Tom Platz and telling him how to squat! – Lee Priest • I had heard that Tom [Cruise] was the same way, that he is incredibly dedicated. I was very excited to meet him and I was, honest to God, weirdly surprised that the guy makes me look lazy. I think he does think I’m a hard worker, but he makes me look like I’m doing nothing. The guy is at the gym before anybody in the morning. – Patrick Heusinger • I had to get up run in the morning for 2 hours, go to the gym and also get good opponents as sparring partners because I’m a big believer in that how you train is how you will fight at least when it came to me that’s how it worked. – Alexis Arguello • I hate yoga pants anywhere but the gym. – Robin Givhan • I have a terrible habit of shopping after I go to the gym or hitting eBay. – Edie Campbell • I have my own gym. When you do jokes and they sell, you get a gym. – Don Rickles • I have the final say in the business side of my boxer’s career. But as far as me being in the meetings every day, the back and forth of the paperwork and stuff like that, I have got a job to do. I am in the gym every day. The fighting lifestyle is an unforgiving one. You want to keep yourself as focussed and stress – free as possible. I have a team who focus on the more complicated aspects, on the business side of boxing, which I don’t need to get myself involved in. I think I am involved in the business as much as I need to be. – Chris Eubank, Jr. • I have to admit, I go through phases of being good and bad. When I’m being good, I go to the gym three to four times a week. I do much better in a class with other people. I like aerobics and circuit training. – Joanne Froggatt • I haven’t been manipulated. I did a documentary in prison years ago because I was so f – ed off with those lazy bastards in their bed for 18 hours a day, five dishes a day on a menu to choose from, playing soccer every day, going to the gym, watching movies. – Chelsea Handler • I hear that players tend to burn out of basketball, but I absolutely never had that experience myself. There were many times in my life where I got cut from a team I wanted to make, or didn’t get playing time in high school, and even into college. But setbacks always inspired me to work harder, spend more time in the gym, play more, learn more, and watch more basketball. – Ashley Graham • I know how I get hard. Running on a treadmill behind women in a gym normally does it for me. – Kevin Hart • I lead a very active lifestyle. When I am not working, I enjoy snowboarding in winter. I golf and swim in the summer months. However, trying to find the time to exercise when I am traveling is quite a challenge. I find myself working out at hotel gyms quite regularly – just so that I can keep up with my training. – Lee Byung-hun • I like to mix up my workouts to keep them fun and interesting. It makes getting to the gym a lot easier! – Alicia Sacramone • I listen to the Beatles all the time – in my car, at the gym. The Beatles are still part of my life. And because of that, John Lennon – in life and in death – remains part of my life. – Laurence Shames • I look after myself. I train and go to the gym. – Bruno Tonioli • I love creating music and television and film. I love the hustle, I love the grind, I love working sixteen- and eighteen-hour days and waking up at four the next morning and going to the gym. I love that. – Will Smith • I love learning, so it’s definitely something I could see myself doing when I’m 30 or something. I always wanted to go for music production and health and psychology. But my whole life, I was in a gym for eight hours a day. I’m ready to be young and have fun.- McKayla Maroney • I love the fight game. I like the brutality. I like the mentality. I like the aggressiveness, but I like the technique and skill. I like the stakes. I like the people around in the gym. I like the everyday, working class feel of a boxing gym. – Aaron Eckhart • I love the gym, but I still want to look a bit awkward at it. I don’t want to look too on top of it, you know? – Marc Jacobs • I made a gym, it’s the best gym in Nicaragua, I have kids that this year July 6th through the 11th will be fighting and then will go on to the Central American Games and I’m sure at least one will win a gold medal. – Alexis Arguello • I nicknamed everyone in the gym. It was easier than remembering their names. – Joe Gold • I started running 3 miles every morning after throat surgery to remove a cyst last year. The gym used to be my adversary. But that has all changed. Now, I look forward to it every morning. – Rachael Ray • I think it is easier for thinner people to build on a frame once you get lean muscle. I get bored lifting weights at the gym, and it isn’t enough as your body becomes stiff. So I train in different ways such as core training, cardio with weights, playing sports such as tennis, cycling, swimming and running 10 km once a week.- Arjun Rampal • I travel every single day, but I make it a point to hit the gym. I want to look good for the summer. – Pauly D • I try to do yoga. I really enjoy stretching and having a nice yoga class or taking a run on the beach. I’m not a big fan of the gym. I try to be out as much as possible. – Laura Ramsey • I try to walk at least three times a week for 40 minutes or an hour. I do it at the gym on the treadmill, or I go hiking outside. – Ana de la Reguera • I used to imagine it. I used to pretend that my Peugeot driving to the gym in the rain in Dublin was a Ferrari on the Vegas strip. And now that I have that? I can’t even describe that feeling. That’s why I like the best – the best cars, the best food, the best watches. – Conor McGregor • I used to work out in the gym a lot when I was younger. I was a competition body builder when I was 16 or something crazy like that for a short period of time. So, the gym is quite familiar and I know what I’m doing there. – Guy Pearce • I wake up at the same time every day to get to the gym. – Joe Manganiello • I was cutting and threading pipe in the tunnels to get water into the shower rooms for athletics. I was repairing old metal windows, fixing cement walls where rain was coming through, and drying out the maple gym floors in hopes of removing the warping. – Tom Baker • I was so good at boxing because I worked hard. I worked harder than anybody. When other boxers used to box in the gym, three or four rounds, I used to box 10-20 rounds. – Jake LaMotta • I work out every day. Mostly it’s free weights and cardio. I don’t do that stuff where they throw logs at you, what’s it called, cross-fit. None of that. Mainly it’s just me in the gym, lifting weights. – Justin Bieber • I work out with alot of gay guys at the gym. I do, because my only goal is to get into gay shape. Now, you know what I’m talking about. Gay men are the most ripped kind of… listen… I don’t know how strong you have to be to blow a guy, but I’m guessin’, there is some muscle involved. – Alonzo Bodden • I would like to be the first man in the gym business to throw out my scale. If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, what difference does it make what the scale says? – Vince Gironda • I would never go to a gym. How could I do it? So I tried to do it in my house and it doesn’t work. – Warren Cuccurullo • I’d rather be an adviser. I don’t wanna become a trainer because I think with the knowledge and the business sense that I’ve accomplished through my career and have credibility, why would I reduce myself down to being in a gym with a bunch of training which is not a bad thing to give advice, but I can do that with a suit and tie on and also be there when the cheques are written. I don’t wanna be there when the cheques are handed down from 3 or 4 people’s hands and then it hits mine as a trainer because 9/10 times, deductions have come out of that. – Bernard Hopkins • I’d rather take a beating sometimes than get in that gym every morning. Anyone who gets up that early and says he likes it is a goddamned liar. The only good thing about it is that when I’m finished, I look at myself in the mirror and say, “Jack, you’ve done it again! – Jack LaLanne • I’d tell any girl who continues to love gymnastics enough to want pursue a college scholarship to keep pushing yourself 100% in the gym every single day. – Gabby Douglas • If I had a partner who asked when I was going to the gym or commented that I was eating too much or asked if I really needed an extra potato, that would make me feel awful. It would be terrible. – Penny Lancaster • If you go to the gym and you come home and look into the mirror, you’ll see nothing. If you go the next day and you come home, you will see nothing. In fact sometimes you’re in pain. – Simon Sinek • If you think of exercise as a 60-minute commitment 3 times a week at the gym, you’re missing the point completely. If you think that going on a diet has something to do with nutrition, you don’t see the forest through the trees. It is a lifestyle. I know it sounds cliche, but you have to find things you love to do. – Brett Hoebel • If you’re spending so much time at the gym that your mail is forwarded there, you’re not dedicated – you’ve got a mental disorder. – Dan John • I’ll joke all day, but once I get in the gym, I’m going to work hard. – Dwight Howard • I’m at the gym at 6, so I’m usually in my office by 7:15. And I try to not schedule a lot of meetings before 8. So I’ve got that first hour to get myself organized for the day and to make sure that I’ve structured what I want to do. – Anne M. Mulcahy • I’m doing it by enjoying what I do in the gym, really enjoying my foods. – Warren Cuccurullo • I’m inspired by watching and listening to people. For example, my first novel, The Scale, came to life after I overheard two women discussing their struggle with their weight at the gym. – Mika • I’m just going to keep working. Spend more days in the gym, as possible. Just trying to get my game up, and just keep playing. And if it’s in God’s will for me to win, then I’ll get it. – Dwight Howard • I’m never sloppy, and I never wear jeans. I don’t work one look in particular, but it’s usually retro – I’m a flea-market freak. And detailed – I’m always very done, even at the gym. – Debi Mazar • I’m no perfect gymnast. I want to go out and eat junk food, or I maybe don’t sleep as much as I should, or some days I’ll leave the gym and think, “Maybe I should have worked a little harder. Maybe I’m not as tired as I need to be.” Every day you push a little harder, eat a little better, maybe go to bed a little earlier. – Jonathan Horton • I’m one of those strange people: I really love going to the gym. – Julianna Margulies • I’m really into boxing. I go to a gym and I’m friends with a trainer who’s a pretty famous boxing trainer and I train with him. – Aimee Mann • I’m really into tennis. Because of the traveling, standing in front of a mirror and lifting weights in a gym makes me feel putrid. I’d rather do something that’s physically tough and mentally stimulating. – Dominic Cooper • I’m so unfamiliar with the gym, I call it James! – Ellen DeGeneres • I’m such a contradiction: I eat really healthy, I go to the gym, but then I smoke two or three cigarettes a day, and I smoke other things as well. Overall, I feel really healthy. But sometimes I feel like I’m more sensitive to little things. – Paul Iacono • I’m very rarely in the gym. My workouts are predominantly outside, in nature. – Ryan Kwanten • In high school, some of the guys were really into music. When I first joined the team as a sophomore, I was blown away when we came out for our first home matchI’m getting goose bumps just thinking about it. The seniors would bring their whole stereo system. We started by yelling and stuff inside this little room just off the gym; then the coaches said, “Ready. Go!” We threw open the door and came running out. Even when I hear the songs now I get all jacked up. – Karch Kiraly • In my 30s I used to go to the gym even though I hated it. The purpose of going to the gym was to postpone the day when I would stop going. That’s what writing is to me: a way of postponing the day when I won’t do it any more, the day when I will sink into a depression so profound it will be indistinguishable from perfect bliss. – Geoff Dyer • In my school, people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look, if they’re cool, they get respect. – Danny McBride • In terms of myself, my next big plan is to loose 7llb (as I’ve been planning to do since I was seventeen) Also to go to the gym three times a week, not merely to buy a sandwich. And also de-clutter the garage. – Helen Fielding • In the morning, I wake up at about 6 a.m. and I run for about 45 minutes, then more sprinting. Then I go back home, I eat and I sleep. When I wake up, I train – I do about three hours in the gym… – Manny Pacquiao • Instead of going to the gym, I dress in black – a lot more practical and much more fun. – Monica Bellucci • It feels great to wake up feeling healthy, awake and alert. I love waking up in the morning, taking a deep breath, reading the newspaper and going to the gym – as opposed to carrying a hangover right until lunch. That’s horrible. It is nice to let off steam once in a while, but I find myself less involved with people in that sense. I like staying at home, reading a book, having a chat with my wife, a quiet dinner and going to bed early. I don’t want to drink half a bottle of whisky and look 50 the next day. I have become an anti-drinking, anti-smoking agent. – Saif Ali Khan • It is instilled in thousands of American males from an early age that one of their requirements is to be able to both dish out and take a lot of pain. They are taught the rules of this road in gyms, rings, backyards and fields all over America. – Henry Rollins • It is not much different from a person who goes to the gym to exercise on a regular basis versus someone who sits on the couch watching television. Proper physical exercise increases your chances of health, and proper mental exercise increases your chances for wealth. Laziness decreases both health and wealth. – Robert Kiyosaki • It’s an empirical question whether training makes one more or less likely to get in a fight outside the gym. In some ways, I’m probably more likely to get into a fight, because I feel more competent, and I know what it’s cost me in the past to back down from fights, and I don’t want to feel that way. – Jonathan Gottschall • It’s not being superficial, but looks do attract me from across the gym. – Kiana Tom • It’s the best gift in the world to be able to get up and dance because it’s the best gym. You artistically stretch your brain and you physically stretch your body to a higher point than a singular rotation movement like running. It makes your whole body move in lots of different ways, and it can make you very flexible as well, which is good for later life. – Andrew Stone • I’ve always been more of the athlete in my family, but Bella [Hadid] is just good at – when she needs buckle down for like two weeks and be in [the gym] every day, she’s really good at that. – Gigi Hadid • I’ve always worked out. I’ve always gone to the gym. But it was always a chore, and it was always, like, ‘Man, I’ve gotta go do this because if I don’t I’ll get all dumpy and out of shape and then no one will hire me for good roles.’ – Michael Cudlitz • I’ve been a member of some good gyms in the past. I love a good spinning class; I love a good aerobics class. – Natalie Dormer • I’ve had weight issues all my life. I’ve been on all the diets: Atkins, liquid protein, Scarsdale diet. Now I go to the gym often. I’m always on the StairMaster, and I do weights. – Hoda Kotb • I’ve never had a problem with the way I look. I’d rather go for lunch with my friends than go to a gym. – Adele • Joe Calzaghe is next. If he gets himself out that armchair, gets himself back in the gym, let’s have a fight for the British fans and the rest of the world. – Carl Froch • Juan Hernandez was an actor out of New York, but what made Juan so great and what made Omar so great was that they both already knew how to box, so we didn’t have to take them into a gym and teach them how to throw a left jab. – Charles S. Dutton • Just saw a t-shirt at the gym said, body by torture. That’s a lot less ironic if you’re a political prisoner in the Middle East. – Dov Davidoff • Just went to the gym and worked on every body part. Four people slapped me. – Bob Saget • Learning was never structured for me. I started playing when I was two. I would go to the gym with my dad who played regularly. I ‘d get on the court and play when he would go for a drink of water or something. When I was four they shaved down the grip on a racquet so I could hold it. I can’t even tell you why I loved being on the court, I just knew I enjoyed it. It was always about sports for me. – Kane Waselenchuk • Let the gym be a sanctuary for you to be at peace. Let it calm you and ground you and allow you to appreciate everything around you. Let it also be a place for you to unload and explode with intensity through your training. – Robert Cheeke • Manipulate your diet until you find something that works for you. And I think people get bogged down with trying to go to the gym and doing too much cardio and lifting too much weight. Really, if you’re eating well and eating at the right times, and consuming the right things, it’s really helpful. I do a lot of yoga. There’s more and more guys getting into yoga these days, and I find that helps me as well. – Nick Youngquest • Mirrors at the gym only serve to remind me that I’m less of a man than I’d like to be. – Dov Davidoff • Most of the hotel gym’s are not adequate. I mean you might be able to train your arms, but you aren’t going to be able to train legs, back, or even chest if they don’t have dumbbells and benches. – Warren Cuccurullo • My fans are just amazing, all over the world I’ve been greeted by people with smiles on their faces by what I do at the gym and what I do on stage, and how can I not be excited when i’m getting ready for a contest and how can I not be pumped even when I’m tired. – Phil Heath • My fourth mother, my godmother, she passed away a couple years ago – her name was Gwen. She was the theater director over at the gym where I grew up and learned about all those awesome things I told you about already. She was the one who taught me terms like “upstage” and “downstage,” all those technical things about the art of what I do – how to breathe what I see, how to move. They were all her tactics, not anything learned or given to me through a theory, but rather by her natural abilities. – Erykah Badu • My jogging is the best thing in my life. Wake up in the morning and jog. Come to the gym and train my ass off. Be fit, make myself fit. Feel like a man. Because when you get to the ring and you start to get tired, it’s very bad. – Joshua Clottey • My plan to put Social Security in an ironclad lockbox has gotten a lot of attention recently, and I’m glad about that. But I’m afraid that it’s overshadowing some vitally important proposals. For instance, I’ll put Medicaid in a walk-in closet. I’ll put the Community Reinvestment Act in a secured gym locker. I’ll put NASA funding in a hermetically sealed Ziploc bag. – Al Gore • My teenage children watched Senator Clinton on the Today Show, mouths agape. They attended our local caucus with me and saw hundreds of our friends and neighbors gathered in the elementary school gym on that Sunday afternoon, despite an ugly Maine snowstorm. They listened to the thoughtful searching debates and saw us cast our votes. How could anyone suggest we didn’t know exactly what we were doing? ‘What’s the point of electing someone who doesn’t believe in the American people?’ they asked. ‘If she wants to ignore us now when she’s only a candidate, what will she do as the President?’ – Shoshana Zuboff • My top priority in life is my workout. Regardless of what happens, I hit that gym. Even when I was in the hospital twice with serious knee operations: Right after I came out of anesthesia, there was a chin bar over my head and dumbbells. I worked out immediately. – Jack LaLanne • One of the big misconceptions about me is that I walk around in mini-skirts and high heels twenty-four seven and go to the gym in heels. – Carmen Electra • One thing about other people, when they come to the gym, they might waste time wrapping hands, doing stretching and things. I don’t like that. If I come to the gym, if one hour – all work. If two hours – all. I don’t want to do this stuff so I can stay like two hours in the gym training only one hour. I want to do my own – quick, quick. – Joshua Clottey • People say, My God, you’re so disciplined. But it has nothing to do with discipline; I loved it. Because I knew that every time I went to the gym I was one step closer to winning the competition. – Arnold Schwarzenegger • Probably Lloyd in ‘Say Anything’ is the closest to me – or to who I was at the time. It was just a great love story about people in the ’80s, and we all tried to make it feel as real as possible. It was such a wonderful time. We didn’t leave anything in the gym; we put it all out there. – John Cusack • Rookies are also coming in from college programs as big stars, whereas when we came in, we were just happy to be there. We were happy to be playing in a big gym, to be on television, to be playing in America. – Sue Wicks • Shakira’s music isn’t my cup of tea, but the way she moves her hips reminds me of the feeling you get when you climb the gym pole. – Brandon Boyd • Since the inception of Gym Class in 1997, every member has had another musical outlet, if not three or four. – Travie McCoy • So I said to the gym instructor: ‘Can you teach me to do the splits?’ He said: ‘How flexible are you?’ I said: I can’t make Tuesdays.’ – Tim Vine • Some people like to live without too much risk. They’re satisfied leading a safe existence. This attitude of caution infiltrates into their goals. Every successful athlete – or businessperson – enjoys taking calculated risks. You have to. Especially in the gym when you’re squatting 500 for reps and you can’t get one more but grunt out ten. Your nose starts bleeding, you fall into the rack and that’s set one. – Tom Platz • Something that comes to us, some gym shoe that comes to us as a result of child labor from a brutal dictatorship, where people do not have basic freedoms, it wouldn’t bug me to tax the living Dickens out of that thing or even to forbid its importation whatsoever. But that’s a moral question, not an economic question. – P. J. O’Rourke • Sometimes I train in the middle of the night, all on my own. Can’t sleep, don’t want to sleep, get up, go to the gym, work. This is early for me, being here at half ten in the morning, this is really early, and I’m only here because I screwed up yesterday and kept you hanging around. Other times I’ll call up my wrestling coach, or my jiu jitsu coach, or my deep-tissue guy, and want to really focus on one part of what I do. I train in all these different disciplines. – Conor McGregor • Starting writing is stressful and scary and hard, but also, it’s just like going to the gym. You’re just stiff and weird, and you can’t do it as well. – Tamara Jenkins • Taking care of yourself is a nice thing to do. And it’s not seen as just a girl thing anymore. You see a lot more guys at the gym taking care of themselves, and I think it’s going to continue to grow. – Nick Youngquest • Taking care of yourself is a nice thing to do. It’s not seen as just a girl thing anymore. You see a lot more guys at the gym taking care of themselves, and I think it’s going to continue to grow. – Nick Youngquest • That’s the object of going to a gym, having fun. – Joe Gold • The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights. – Muhammad Ali • The greatest feeling you can get in a gym or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is the pump. Let’s say you train your biceps, blood is rushing in to your muscles and that’s what we call the pump. Your muscles get a really tight feeling like your skin is going to explode any minute and its really tight and its like someone is blowing air into your muscle and it just blows up and it feels different, it feels fantastic. – Arnold Schwarzenegger • The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is… The Pump. – Arnold Schwarzenegger • The gym and the treadmill is a good idea. But the problem is we spend so much effort in marketing messaging, deluding people into thinking if you get on your treadmill or you go to the gym, that’s what you need. People who join a gym, the vast majority of them have quit within nine months and almost all of them have quit within two years. So if it’s a longevity strategy, does not work. – Dan Buettner • The gym is where I get my chill-out time. I try to go six days a week, but when I’m working, that goes down to about three. – Felicity Kendal • The older Ive gotten, the more I try to stay out of the gym. – Geoff Stults • The playful perspective is not meant to turn your life into a game or a jungle gym. It’s rather that the activity is looking outside of yourself. – Ian Bogost • The reason there are so many gyms in London is because the amount of gay people who are here now. – Karl Pilkington • The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character. – Arnold Schwarzenegger • The word ‘aerobics’ came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we’re going to charge $10 an hour, we can’t call it Jumping up and down. – Rita Rudner • There should be a class on drugs. There should be a class on sex education-a real sex education class-not just pictures and diaphragms and ‘un-logical’ terms and things like that…..there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on apartheid, there should be a class on racism in America, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on gym, physical education, let’s learn volleyball. – Tupac Shakur • There’s a difference between a caper and a prank. A prank is like playing Ding-Dong-Ditch, you know, you ring the doorbell and then run and hide in the ditch. That’s a prank. It has no shelf life, like reassembling the principal’s car up on the roof of the gym. It’s cute and everything but there’s no shelf-life, and it can actually be kind of destructive. But a caper is different. It’s something where everybody has made it in. – Bob Goff • There’s always advantages and disadvantages to doing any role. And there’s a great sense of achievement, testosterone, fun, being able to live out your masculinity when you play an action role, or an action-adventure, or a real tough-guy role. Really, if you’re doing a comedy, you can sit back and relax. And it’s good to know that at the end of the day, you don’t have to run off for another two hours and go to the gym, or go spend the rest of the night swordplaying with stunt guys. Then I think, “Oh my God, I love comedy.”. – Gerard Butler • There’s always stories about cute girls in the gym, I’m just not one of those people. – Gigi Hadid • There’s no regimen. There’s no personal trainer. I love to go hiking because it’s an experience. If I need to gain stamina for a tour, I will run every single night on the treadmill, but I don’t necessarily like being at the gym. – Taylor Swift • There’s not much to do in Atlanta, so the cast went to the gym together, went shopping together, and dinner was always a group thing. It’s that whole summer-camp experience that making movies tends to be anyway. – Timothy Olyphant • There’s something really liberating about feeling great in what you work out in because when you feel great in the gym, then you are just going to do a better job. You’ll feel more comfortable, which will allow you to push your limits. – Demi Lovato • This is where our obsession with going fast and saving time leads. To road rage, air rage, shopping rage, relationship rage, office rage, vacation rage, gym rage. Thanks to speed, we live in the age of rage. – Carl Honore • To go in the direction that I went takes a lot of work. And I don’t think you can do the work – the five or six hours of working out a day – if you don’t have a clear goal or know why you’re doing it. If you just hang out at the gym and train for five or six hours a day without a goal is almost impossible. – Arnold Schwarzenegger • Today I was in the gym benching 400 pounds. A-Ry is my witness to this. – The Miz • Training to me isn’t about a set time at the gym – I move at all times of the day and night. – Conor McGregor • Trust that you often need to find happiness outside your comfort zone. The journey is a lifestyle choice. Focus on your mental health and your mind just as much as the physical, if not more. All the gym in the world won’t help if you don’t work on finding acceptance for your muffin top or chaffing thighs. – Danielle Tabor • We all have our issues, no one gets away from facing their own issues, so that we can advance. Nothing is given lightly, and everything has a repercussion, as you’re evolving. And, if anything, the sport itself is a great training, not only physically, but the mental discipline that it requires. The gym can serve as an excellent place where kids, and young men and women can really empty their issues right on the floor. It’s amazing the spirituality that you get as a result of practicing and enjoying the sport. That’s another plus. – Djimon Hounsou • What fun that is, doing voices. I would do them every day if they wanted me to. It’s so much fun to go to work and not shave and wear your tennis shoes and your gym clothes. As opposed to having to shave, shower, go to the gym, look good, get ready, go to makeup and hair, and all that stuff. I love doing voices. It’s just so relaxing. – Eric Roberts • What if more and more parents, grandparents and kids around the country band together to create outdoor adventure clubs, family nature networks, family outdoor clubs, or green gyms? What if this approach becomes the norm in every community? – Richard Louv • What people don’t realize I have put 160 kids through school. I had a gym full of children. Some of those kids slept in the gym. Some of those kids lived in the gyms. I went to those kids schools. I think with the training, I can’t make a fighter have that passion that I have, and it takes years to develop a fighter. – Ann Wolfe • What was funny, going to the gym, you see all these guys who are just massive. There’s no way a person can naturally get that way. In the gym, you meet these guys and you talk to them, and everybody’s really willing and open to explain to you what cycle they’re on and to help you get on it. – Anthony Mackie • What you do in a fight gym is learn how to be brave. You’re learning how to punch and kick in a proper way, of course, but above all else, a fighter is someone who’s got courage, who’s dead game in a fight. Most guys don’t come into the world that way. You learn to be brave through that process of getting your fear and timidity beaten out of you night after night after night. – Jonathan Gottschall • When future archaeologists dig up the remains of California, they’re going to find all of those gyms their scary-looking gym equipment, and they’re going to assume that we were a culture obsessed with torture. – Douglas Coupland • When I wasn’t killing time in school, I was sparring in the gym or selling crack on the strip. – Curtis Jackson • When I’m in L.A., I try to run the canyons or play tennis with friends a few times a week. I’ve tried working out with a trainer and going to the gym, but I’d just much rather be outside. – Julia Jones • When you know yourself that you’ve come through preparation injury free and you’ve done everything, you’ve done the work in the gym and the rounds of sparring, it fills you with confidence. – Joe Calzaghe • When you’re training you go to the gym when it’s dark, you leave when it’s dark. You push your body to the limit and it really gets on top of you. – David Haye • While the average person is home watching TV, the Leader Without a Title is in the gym getting stronger or at the library getting smarter or at the office getting better (or with their family growing kinder). Make this day count. – Robin Sharma • With Aerobic Strip Tease, you can do it at home – it makes it easier for women that don’t want to go to the gym. – Carmen Electra • Words can’t even describe how much Olympic medals means to me, because of all the hard work, sacrifice and effort I put in at the gym, and also because of how much my family supported me and sacrificed their dreams for mine. It also means a lot to me, knowing that I became the first African American to win the individual all-around gold medal. – Gabby Douglas • Working out makes me feel good. When I don’t work out for a few days, I start feeling grumpy. When I’m at the gym, it wakes me up. My spirits are higher. I just feel happier and more motivated to do things. – Elisabeth Harnois • Yes I never go to the gym otherwise because I think it’s a waste of time and the most boring thing on earth. – Izabella Scorupco • Yoga has moved from relative anonymity in the West to a well-recognized practice offered in thousands of studios, community centers, hospitals, gyms, and health clubs. – Deepak Chopra • You can do more of independent films. A Hollywood picture, you’ll do one a year, one of those big blockbusters, right? Then you’ve gotta go to the gym to get in shape to do all of the running and shooting and diving and falling and hitting and all that stuff they do today. – Ben Gazzara • You can go to the gym, lift as many weights as you want, but if you can’t bench press your duvet at fajr then it doesn’t mean anything – Khalid Yasin • You cannot train yourself. I feel the same way about Christianity and about what the church is: The church is the gym of the soul. – Sylvester Stallone • You don’t have to go the gym – just walk 10,000 steps a day and you are activating your good genes. But do practise yoga. – Deepak Chopra • You get help at the gym. No one complains about that. You get help from your trainer. That’s commonplace, and I think we need to spend more time doing that with mental help. You know, a lot of us have issues that we don’t work on and we don’t deal with, and I try. I try my utmost. – Trevor Noah • You go back to the gym and you just do it again and again until you get it right. – Arnold Schwarzenegger • You gotta try something people ain’t seen before, and you gotta go to the gym and work on your dunks. In a slam dunk competition, don’t show up with three dunks. You got to have eight or nine dunks because if you get into the finals and two guys may do the same dunk or one guy does the dunk better than the other. – Darryl Dawkins • You have thousands of choices and decisions to make everyday. You have the right to not go to the gym, you the right to follow poor nutritional habits, you have the right to overwork yourself and not get enough sleep. You must accept the fact that your physique has suffered because of the choices that you make everyday. – Robert Cheeke • You need good coaches with a good gym that teach you the essentials, like boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and pretty much all the stuff that you need to be successful in MMA. – Cain Velasquez • You need to feel as good as you can before you start a workout. So what you wear to the gym is important. – Oliver Hudson • You’ll never find me in a gym. – Ellen Hollman • Your mind is the strongest and most valuable muscle you can grow in the gym. – Greg Plitt • You’ve got to block out all distractions when you train. Your focus has to be 100% into the rep. You’ve got to get into a zone. You know you’re in the zone when guys in the gym look you in the eye and then quickly turn away ’cause they see the fire. You’ve got to be all business. – Mike Matarazzo

Digital Modulation Features, Amplitude and Phase and Frequency Modulation (AM/PM/FM Modulation) | Soukacatv.com

In most media for communication, only a fixed range of frequencies is available for transmission. One way to communicate a message signal whose frequency spectrum does not fall within that fixed frequency range, or one that is otherwise unsuitable for the channel, is to alter a transmittable signal according to the information in your message signal. This alteration is called modulation, and it is the modulated signal that you transmit. The receiver then recovers the original signal through a process called demodulation.

Modulation Techniques

The Communications Toolbox™ supports these modulation techniques for digital data. All the methods at the far right are implemented in library blocks.

Like analog modulation, digital modulation alters a transmittable signal according to the information in a message signal. However, for digital modulation the message signal is restricted to a finite set. Modulation functions output the complex envelope of the modulated signal. Using the Communications Toolbox, you can modulate or demodulate signals using various digital modulation techniques, and plot signal constellations.

The available methods of modulation depend on whether the input signal is analog or digital. For a list of the modulation techniques the Communications Toolbox supports see Digital Baseband Modulation, Analog Baseband Modulation, and Analog Passband Modulation.

Accessing Digital Modulation Blocks. Open the Modulation library by double-clicking the icon in the main block library. Then open the Digital Baseband sub-library by double-clicking its icon in the Modulation library.

The Digital Baseband library has sub-libraries of its own. Open each of these sub-libraries by double-clicking the icon listed in the table below.

Some digital modulation sub-libraries contain blocks that implement specific modulation techniques. These specific-case modulation blocks use the same computational code that their general counterparts use, but provide an interface that is either simpler or more suitable for the specific case. This table lists general modulators along with the conditions under which is general modulator is equivalent to a specific modulator. The situation is analogous for demodulators.

Furthermore, the CPFSK Modulator Baseband block is similar to the M-FSK Modulator Baseband block, when the M-FSK block uses continuous phase transitions. However, the M-FSK features of this product differ from the CPFSK features in their mask interfaces and in the demodulator implementations.

Baseband and Pass band Simulation

For a given modulation technique, two ways to simulate modulation techniques are called baseband and pass band. Baseband simulation, also known as the low pass equivalent method, requires less computation. The Communications Toolbox supports baseband simulation for digital modulation and pass band simulation for analog modulation.

Baseband Modulated Signals Defined

If you use baseband modulation to produce the complex envelope y of the modulation of a message signal x, then y is a complex-valued signal that is related to the output of a pass band modulator. If the modulated signal has the waveform

Y1(t)cos(2πfct+θ)−Y2(t)sin(2πfct+θ) ,

where fc is the carrier frequency and θ is the carrier signal's initial phase, then a baseband simulation recognizes that this equals the real part of

[(Y1(t)+jY2(t))ejθ]exp(j2πfct) .

and models only the part inside the square brackets. Here j is the square root of -1. The complex vector y is a sampling of the complex signal

(Y1(t)+jY2(t))ejθ .

If you prefer to work with pass band signals instead of baseband signals, then you can build functions that convert between the two. Be aware that pass band modulation tends to be more computationally intensive than baseband modulation because the carrier signal typically needs to be sampled at a high rate.

Modulation Terminology

Modulation is a process by which a carrier signal is altered according to information in a message signal. The carrier frequency, Fc, is the frequency of the carrier signal. The sampling rate is the rate at which the message signal is sampled during the simulation.

The frequency of the carrier signal is usually much greater than the highest frequency of the input message signal. The Nyquist sampling theorem requires that the simulation sampling rate, Fs, be greater than two times the sum of the carrier frequency and the highest frequency of the modulated signal in order for the demodulator to recover the message correctly.

Representing Digital Signals

To modulate a signal using digital modulation with an alphabet having M symbols, start with a real message signal whose values are integers from 0 to M-1. Represent the signal by listing its values in a vector, x. Alternatively, you can use a matrix to represent a multichannel signal, where each column of the matrix represents one channel.

For example, if the modulation uses an alphabet with eight symbols, then the vector [2 3 7 1 0 5 5 2 6]' is a valid single-channel input to the modulator. As a multichannel example, the two-column matrix

[2 3;

3 3;

7 3;

0 3;]

Defines a two-channel signal in which the second channel has a constant value of 3.

Signals and Delays

All digital modulation blocks process only discrete-time signals and use the baseband representation. The data types of inputs and outputs are depicted in the following figure.

Integer-Valued Signals and Binary-Valued Signals

Some digital modulation blocks can accept either integer-valued or binary–valued signals. The corresponding demodulation blocks can output either integers or groups of individual bits that represent integers. This section describes how modulation blocks process integer or binary inputs; the case for demodulation blocks is the reverse. You should note that modulation blocks have an Input type parameter and that demodulation blocks have an Output type parameter.

When you set the Input type parameter to Integer, the block accepts integer values from 0 to M-1. M represents the M-ary number block parameter.

When you set the Input type parameter to Bit, the block accepts binary-valued inputs that represent integers. The block collects binary-valued signals into groups of K = log2(M) bits

Where

K represents the number of bits per symbol. Since M = 2K, K is commonly referred to as the modulation order.

The input vector length must be an integer multiple of K. In this configuration, the block accepts a group of K bits and maps that group onto a symbol at the block output. The block outputs one modulated symbol for each group of K bits.

Constellation Ordering (or Symbol Set Ordering)

Depending on the modulation scheme, the Constellation ordering or Symbol set ordering parameter indicates how the block maps a group of K input bits to a corresponding symbol. When you set the parameter to Binary, the block maps [u(1) u(2) ... u(K)] to the integer

KXi=1u(i)2K−i

and assumes that this integer is the input value. u(1) is the most significant bit.

If you set M = 8, Constellation ordering (or Symbol set ordering) to Binary, and the binary input word is [1 1 0], the block converts [1 1 0] to the integer 6. The block produces the same output when the input is 6 and the Input type parameter is Integer.

When you set Constellation ordering (or Symbol set ordering or Symbol mapping) to Gray, the block uses a Gray-coded arrangement and assigns binary inputs to points of a predefined Gray-coded signal constellation. The predefined M-ary Gray-coded signal constellation assigns the binary representation

M = 8; P = [0:M-1]';

de2bi(bitxor(P, floor(P/2)), log2(M),'left-msb')

to the Pth integer.

The following tables show the typical Binary to Gray mapping for M = 8.

Gray Encoding a Modulated Signal

For the PSK, DPSK, FSK, QAM, and PAM modulation types, Gray constellations are obtained by setting the symbol mapping to Gray-encoding in the corresponding modulation function or System object®.

For modulation functions, you can specify 'gray' for the symbol order input argument to obtain Gray-encoded modulation.

The following example uses the qammod function with Gray-encoded symbol mapping.

y = [0:15];

y = de2bi(y);

M = 16;

symorder = 'gray';

xmap = qammod(y,M,symorder,'InputType','bit','PlotConstellation',true);

Checking the constellation plot, you can see the modulated symbols are Gray-encoded because all adjacent elements differ by only one bit.

Up sample Signals and Rate Changes

Some digital modulation blocks can output an up-sampled version of the modulated signal, while their corresponding digital demodulation blocks can accept an up-sampled version of the modulated signal as input. In both cases, the Rate options parameter represents the up-sampling factor, which must be a positive integer. Depending on whether the input signal is single-rate mode or multi-rate mode, the block either changes the signal's vector size or its sample time, as the following table indicates. Only the OQPSK blocks deviate from the information in the table, in that S is replaced by 2S in the scaling factors.

Process Up-sampled Modulated Data (Except OQPSK Method)

Computation Type

Input Status

Result

Modulation

Single-rate processing

Output vector length is S times the number of integers or binary words in the input vector. Output sample time equals the input sample time.

Modulation

Multi-rate processing

Output vector is a scalar. Output sample time is 1/S times the input sample time.

Demodulation

Single-rate processing

Number of integers or binary words in the output vector is 1/S times the number of samples in the input vector. Output sample time equals the input sample time.

Demodulation

Multi-rate processing

Output signal contains one integer or one binary word. Output sample time is S times the input sample time.

Furthermore, if S > 1 and the demodulator is from the AM, PM, or FM sub-library, the demodulated signal is delayed by one output sample period. There is no delay if S = 1 or if the demodulator is from the CPM sub-library.

Illustrations of Size or Rate Changes. The following schematics illustrate how a modulator (other than OQPSK) up-samples a triplet of frame-based and sample-based integers. In both cases, the Samples per symbol parameter are 2.

The following schematics illustrate how a demodulator (other than OQPSK or one from the CPM sub-library) processes three doubly sampled symbols using both frame-based and sample-based inputs. In both cases, the Samples per symbol parameter are 2. The sample-based schematic includes an output delay of one sample period.

For more information on delays, see Delays in Digital Modulation.

PM Modulation

DQPSK Signal Constellation Points and Transitions

The model below plots the output of the DQPSK Modulator Baseband block. The image shows the possible transitions from each symbol in the DQPSK signal constellation to the next symbol.

To open this model enter doc_dqpsk_plot at the MATLAB command line. To build the model, gather and configure these blocks:

· Random Integer Generator, in the Random Data Sources sub-library of the Comm Sources library

o Set M-ary number to 4.

o Set Initial seed to any positive integer scalar, preferably the output of the randn function.

o Set Sample time to .01.

· DQPSK Modulator Baseband, in the PM sub-library of the Digital Baseband sub-library of Modulation

· Complex to Real-Imag, in the Simulink Math Operations library

· XY Graph, in the Simulink Sinks library

Use the blocks' default parameters unless otherwise instructed. Connect the blocks as in the figure above. Running the model produces the following plot. The plot reflects the transitions among the eight DQPSK constellation points.

This plot illustrates π/4-DQPSK modulation, because the default Phase offset parameter in the DQPSK Modulator Baseband block is pi/4. To see how the phase offset influences the signal constellation, change the Phase offset parameter in the DQPSK Modulator Baseband block to pi/8 or another value. Run the model again and observe how the plot changes.

AM Modulation

Rectangular QAM Modulation and Scatter Diagram

The model below uses the M-QAM Modulator Baseband block to modulate random data. After passing the symbols through a noisy channel, the model produces a scatter diagram of the noisy data. The diagram suggests what the underlying signal constellation looks like and shows that the noise distorts the modulated signal from the constellation.

To open this model, enter doc_qam_scatter at the MATLAB command line. To build the model, gather and configure these blocks:

· Random Integer Generator, in the Random Data Sources sub-library of the Comm Sources library

o Set M-ary number to 16.

o Set Initial seed to any positive integer scalar, preferably the output of the randn function.

o Set Sample time to .1.

· Rectangular QAM Modulator Baseband, in the AM sub-library of the Digital Baseband sub-library of Modulation

o Set Normalization method to Peak Power.

· AWGN Channel, in the Channels library

o Set Es/No to 20.

o Set Symbol period to .1.

· Constellation Diagram, in the Comm Sinks library

o Set Symbols to display to 160.

Connect the blocks as in the figure. From the model window's Simulation menu, select Model Configuration parameters. In the Configuration Parameters dialog box, set Stop time to 250. Running the model produces a scatter diagram like the following one. Your plot might look somewhat different, depending on your Initial seed value in the Random Integer Generator block. Because the modulation technique is 16-QAM, the plot shows 16 clusters of points. If there were no noise, the plot would show the 16 exact constellation points instead of clusters around the constellation points.

Compute the Symbol Error Rate

The example generates a random digital signal, modulates it, and adds noise. Then it creates a scatter plot, demodulates the noisy signal, and computes the symbol error rate.

The output and scatter plot follow. Your numerical results and plot might vary, because the example uses random numbers.

num =

rt =

0.0166

The scatter plot does not look exactly like a signal constellation. Where the signal constellation has 16 precisely located points, the noise causes the scatter plot to have a small cluster of points approximately where each constellation point would be.

Combine Pulse Shaping and Filtering with Modulation

Modulation is often followed by pulse shaping, and demodulation is often preceded by a filtering or an integrate-and-dump operation. This section presents an example involving rectangular pulse shaping. For an example that uses raised cosine pulse shaping, see Pulse Shaping Using a Raised Cosine Filter.

Rectangular Pulse Shaping. Rectangular pulse shaping repeats each output from the modulator a fixed number of times to create an up-sampled signal. Rectangular pulse shaping can be a first step or an exploratory step in algorithm development, though it is less realistic than other kinds of pulse shaping. If the transmitter up-samples the modulated signal, then the receiver should down sample the received signal before demodulating. The “integrate and dump” operation is one way to down sample the received signal.

The code below uses the rectpulse function for rectangular pulse shaping at the transmitter and the intdump function for down sampling at the receiver.

M = 16; % Alphabet size, 16-QAM

x = randi([0 M-1],5000,1); % Message signal

Nsamp = 4; % Oversampling rate

% Modulate

y = qammod(x,M);

% Follow with rectangular pulse shaping.

ypulse = rectpulse(y,Nsamp);

% transmit signal through an AWGN channel.

ynoisy = awgn(ypulse,15,'measured');

% Down sample at the receiver.

ydownsamp = intdump(ynoisy,Nsamp);

% Demodulate to recover the message.

z = qamdemod(ydownsamp,M);

CPM Modulation

Phase Tree for Continuous Phase Modulation

This example plots a phase tree associated with a continuous phase modulation scheme. A phase tree is a diagram that superimposes many curves, each of which plots the phase of a modulated signal over time. The distinct curves result from different inputs to the modulator.

This example uses the CPM Modulator Baseband block for its numerical computations. The block is configured using a raised cosine filter pulse shape. The example also illustrates how you can use Simulink and MATLAB together. The example uses MATLAB commands to run a series of simulations with different input signals, to collect the simulation results, and to plot the full data set.

Open the model by typing doc_phasetree at the MATLAB command line. To build the model, gather and configure these blocks:

· Constant, in the Simulink Commonly Used Blocks library

o Set Constant value to s (which will appear in the MATLAB workspace).

o Set Sampling mode to Frame-based.

o Set Frame period to 1.

· CPM Modulator Baseband

o Set M-ary number to 2.

o Set Modulation index to 2/3.

o Set Frequency pulse shape to Raised Cosine.

o Set Pulse length to 2.

· To Workspace, in the Simulink Sinks library

o Set Variable name to x.

o Set Save format to Array.

Do not run the model, because the variable s is not yet defined in the MATLAB workspace. Instead, save the model to a folder on your MATLAB path, using the filename doc_phasetree.

The second step of this example is to execute the following MATLAB code:

% Parameters from the CPM Modulator Baseband block

M_ary_number = 2;

modulation_index = 2/3;

pulse_length = 2;

samples_per_symbol = 8;

L = 5; % Symbols to display

pmat = [];

for ip_sig = 0:(M_ary_number^L)-1

s = de2bi(ip_sig,L,M_ary_number,'left-msb');

% Apply the mapping of the input symbol to the CPM

% symbol 0 -> -(M-1), 1 -> -(M-2), etc.

s = 2*s'+1-M_ary_number;

sim('doc_phasetree', .9); % Run model to generate x.

% Next column of pmat

pmat(:,ip_sig+1) = unwrap(angle(x(:)));

end;

pmat = pmat/(pi*modulation_index);

t = (0:L*samples_per_symbol-1)'/samples_per_symbol;

plot(t,pmat); figure(gcf); % Plot phase tree.

This code defines the parameters for the CPM Modulator, applies symbol mapping, and plots the results. Each curve represents a different instance of simulating the CPM Modulator Baseband block with a distinct (constant) input signal.

Exact LLR Algorithm

The log-likelihood ratio (LLR) is the logarithm of the ratio of probabilities of a 0 bit being transmitted versus a 1 bit being transmitted for a received signal. The LLR for a bit b is defined as:

L(b)=log(Pr(b=0¯r=(x,y))Pr(b=1¯r=(x,y)))

Assuming equal probability for all symbols, the LLR for an AWGN channel can be expressed as:

L(b)=log0BBBBBBBBB@Xs∈S0e−1σ2((x−sx)2+(y−sy)2)Xs∈S1e−1σ2((x−sx)2+(y−sy)2)1CCCCCCCCCA

Where the variables represent the values shown in the following table.

Variable

What the Variable Represents

Received signal with coordinates (x, y).

Transmitted bit (one of the K bits in an M-ary symbol, assuming all M symbols are equally probable.

Ideal symbols or constellation points with bit 0, at the given bit position.

Ideal symbols or constellation points with bit 1, at the given bit position.

In-phase coordinate of ideal symbol or constellation point.

Quadrature coordinate of ideal symbol or constellation point.

σ2

Noise variance of baseband signal.

σ2x

Noise variance along in-phase axis.

σ2y

Noise variance along quadrature axis.

Approximate LLR Algorithm

Approximate LLR is computed by taking into consideration only the nearest constellation point to the received signal with a 0 (or 1) at that bit position, rather than all the constellation points as done in exact LLR. It is defined as [8]:

L(b)=−1σ2(mins∈S0((x−sx)2+ (y−sy)2)−mins∈S1((x−sx)2+ (y−sy)2))

Delays in Digital Modulation

Digital modulation and demodulation blocks sometimes incur delays between their inputs and outputs, depending on their configuration and on properties of their signals. The following table lists sources of delay and the situations in which they occur.

Delays Resulting from Digital Modulation or Demodulation

Modulation or Demodulation Type

Situation in Which Delay Occurs

Amount of Delay

FM demodulator

Sample-based processing

One output period

All demodulators in CPM sub-library

Multi-rate processing, and the model uses a variable-step solver or a fixed-step solver with the Tasking Mode parameter set to Single Tasking D = Trace back length parameter

D+1 output periods

Single-rate processing, D = Trace back depth parameter

D output periods

OQPSK demodulator

Single-rate processing

For more information, see OQPSK Demodulator Baseband.

Multi-rate processing and the model uses a fixed-step solver with Tasking Mode parameter set to Auto or Multi-Tasking.

Multi-rate processing, and the model uses a variable-step solver or the Tasking Mode parameter is set to Single Tasking.

All decoders in TCM sub-library

Operation mode set to Continuous, Tr = Trace back depth parameter, and code rate k/n

Tr*k output bits

As a result of delays, data that enters a modulation or demodulation block at time T appears in the output at time T+delay. In particular, if your simulation computes error statistics or compares transmitted with received data, it must take the delay into account when performing such computations or comparisons.

First Output Sample in DPSK Demodulation

In addition to the delays mentioned above, the M-DPSK, DQPSK, and DBPSK demodulators produce output whose first sample is unrelated to the input. This is related to the differential modulation technique, not the particular implementation of it.

Example: Delays from Demodulation

Demodulation in the model below causes the demodulated signal to lag, compared to the un-modulated signal. When computing error statistics, the model accounts for the delay by setting the Error Rate Calculation block's Receive delay parameter to 0. If the Receive delay parameter had a different value, then the error rate showing at the top of the Display block would be close to 1/2.

To open this model, enter doc_oqpsk_modulation_delay at the MATLAB command line. To build the model, gather and configure these blocks:

· Random Integer Generator, in the Random Data Sources sub-library of the Comm Sources library

o Set M-ary number to 4.

o Set Initial seed to any positive integer scalar.

· OQPSK Modulator Baseband, in the PM sub-library of the Digital Baseband sub-library of Modulation

· AWGN Channel, in the Channels library

o Set Es/No to 6.

· OQPSK Demodulator Baseband, in the PM sub-library of the Digital Baseband sub-library of Modulation

· Error Rate Calculation, in the Comm Sinks library

o Set Receive delay to 1.

o Set Computation delay to 0.

o Set Output data to Port.

· Display, in the Simulink Sinks library

o Drag the bottom edge of the icon to make the display big enough for three entries.

Connect the blocks as shown above. From the model window's Simulation, select Model Configuration parameters. In the Configuration Parameters dialog box, set Stop time to 1000. Then run the model and observe the error rate at the top of the Display block's icon. Your error rate will vary depending on your Initial seed value in the Random Integer Generator block.

Top Seven Trends In Minimal Interiors Pinterest To Watch | minimal interiors pinterest

Our admired spaces of the year, from a new bartering architectonics on the Platte River to a teahouse absolute for Colorado’s clime.

Follow our Instagram! https://ift.tt/2O5LTX8 … – minimal interiors pinterest | minimal interiors pinterest

It’s a abounding time to be a architectonics fan. Thanks to Instagram, Pinterest, and cable TV, we’ve got added attractive apartment than we could attending at in a lifetime—and able tips to advice us get the look—right at our fingertips. But with the aforementioned avant-garde farmhouse kitchen bustling up on the feeds of admirers from Cleveland to Fresno, it’s no admiration that architectonics these canicule has become rather, well, homogenous. That’s why we’re abnormally appreciative to represent a association of architectonics pros who cartel to actualize spaces that say added about the bodies who alive and assignment in them than about what’s abreast now. For this issue, we pored over portfolios to acquisition the best examples of forward-thinking architectonics for your home and appointment (and because this is brilliant Colorado, your alfresco space, too). We can’t delay to allotment our finds with you.

Anyone who spends her canicule in an appointment architectonics knows the lingo: cube, desk, appointment room, kitchen (if you’re lucky). But in this 138,000-square-foot new bartering architectonics on Platte Street, the spaces are a little beneath conventional: There’s the Nest, a two-story acquisition amplitude accurate by a behemothic anchorage and swings; the Base, modeled afterwards your admired Colorado ski lodge, complete with fireplace, ping-pong tables, colossal chairs, and a moveable bottle coffer that opens to the Platte River; and the Unity Café, anchored by a 52-foot-long custom-built table crafted from a single, lightning-felled lodgepole ache from the Steamboat Springs area.

The adroit space—opened in July as the address for BPX Energy, BP’s United States onshore oil and gas unit—is the aftereffect of accord amidst teams headed by Laura Leffler, the company’s arch of agents and arch of communications and culture, and artist Sarah McGarry of Stantec’s Denver office. “We started with their eyes of creating a home abroad from home for employees,” McGarry says. “They were cardinal about selecting the building’s location—backing up to the river with angle of downtown—and we played up those appearance with our blueprint and adjustment of the spaces.”

Then her aggregation layered on abstracts and accoutrement that feel…homey. Rich copse tones, balmy metal details, and glassy marble afterglow beneath bendable lighting and abounding sunshine. “Laura and her aggregation kept allurement how to enhance the user experience,” McGarry says. “That’s what collection our decisions.”

Leffler says she walks the architectonics circadian to see how her colleagues use it. “We try to accept to our employees, and they’ve said that they appetite to be in an ambiance that’s authentic,” she says. “That’s what we appetite to be, allusive and authentic.”

The rug—an aspect that’s added generally a finishing blow than a jumping-off point for a space—provided the architectonics administration for this affecting dining allowance and bar in Cherry Hills Village. “It took about a year to get [the floorcovering] finished,” says Andrea Schumacher, arch of Andrea Schumacher Interiors. But already the rug’s pattern, color, and calibration were dialed in, the room’s high-contrast palette of glassy atramentous walls and floors, white countertops and columns, and balmy copse accents fell bound into place. “The abstraction for the abode was bringing the Hamptons to Colorado—with a aberration of glam,” Schumacher says of the activity she collaborated on with Alvarez Morris Architectural Studio. That East Coast vibe comes from wood-slat coffer paneling—painted a matte atramentous hue—and crisp-white marble slabs that awning the bar area’s continued countertop and aerial cocktail table. Organic elements, including custom walnut cabinets by Abacus Cabinetry and a live-edge-wood dining table, actualize a Colorado connection. As for the glamour? Schumacher advised a set of black-velvet-upholstered dining chairs that are “not too airless and a little sexy,” she says. Champagne-colored flecks in their bolt add “a lot of arrangement afterwards a lot of color,” she adds—and accompaniment the aged assumption accents she active to balmy up the room: Apparatus’ Highwire Tandem chandelier, gangling bar stools, and adorning argosy on the bar’s accessible shelves. Add a glass-walled wine allowance and custom blind arbor for glasses, and this architectonics has accomplished dining nailed.

Sometimes the best designs are the ones that advance over time: In this new home in Observatory Park, for instance, the antecedent plan was for a sleek, avant-garde space. “But afterwards several conversations with our clients, it became bright that we bare to band in archetypal elements to abate the home’s look,” says Angela Coleman, arch of Spec Architectonics and Luxe Kitchens & Interiors, who formed with Cassy Kicklighter Poole of Kaleidoscope Architectonics on the home’s interiors. That admission delivered this serene library, whose beheld ballast is a broiler with simplified lines, topped with a wood-veneer wallcovering by Ralph Lauren Home and artwork by Kristin Blakeney. “I adulation the room’s layout, the huge comedy on symmetry,” says Poole, who placed the accoutrement so they’re amphibian in the room. “The curve of the space—from the two-toned coffered beam to the geometric shapes on the rug—all advertence anniversary added and accomplish you feel acceptable in the room.”

The added secrets to the space’s alluring vibe? First, “a adult palette with layers of arrangement and texture,” Coleman says. “You can do a lot if you break with a few aerial colors bidding in a lot of materials.” And second, a acute accommodation to alcove the TV in a credenza abaft the chairs, which makes the allowance added than a abode to binge-watch Netflix. “The owners accept coffee in here, babble with friends, assignment on their laptops, accept a cocktail in the evening,” Poole says. “It’s a amplitude they absolutely use.” And that’s a adjustment account cat-and-mouse for.

It’s adamantine to believe, but the atom in Denver’s LoHi adjacency breadth this abreast home stands was already home to a shuttered American Legion post. It ability accept sat continued disregarded if homeowner Rhys Duggan—who was on the coursing for a different infill amplitude for a modest-size single-family home and his auto collection—hadn’t begin it. The site, tucked amidst restaurants and added bartering buildings, with primary admission off the alley, acquainted like the ideal breadth for his project.

Enter Matt Davis, arch of Davis Burghal Architecture, who created a architectonics that employs simple lines, abridgement of form, and a raw palette of abstracts (exposed concrete, zinc cladding, and custom animate and bottle openings), and feels residential admitting its burghal surroundings. “We accomplished a faculty of aloofness and acquaintance by creating a courtyard accurate on one bend by a bedfellow abode and on the adverse bend by the barn and auto gallery,” Davis says. “The primary active amplitude is on the arctic abuttals and allowances from the ample double-height doors aperture to the courtyard to the south.”

This active room, admitting admirable in volume, makes use of acute ascent techniques: The fireplace’s animate formis about 10 anxiety aloft the floor, as is the kitchen’s copse wall. These forms adjust with the balustrade that connects the stairway to the bedrooms above, a action that “reduces the perceived calibration of the ample volume,” Davis says—and makes the allowance feel both absorbing and comfortable.

The moral of this home’s story? “No bindle should anytime be forgotten,” Davis says. “Small accoutrements like this one can and should be developed to add small, bite-sized developments that access body afterwards antibacterial the neighborhood’s absolute actual fabric.”

Duet Architectonics Group had bright boot orders from the owners of this Cherry Hills Village home: Accomplish the handmade bed the centerpiece of the adept bedroom. Luckily, it wasn’t an alien task: “That bed has gone with me to every bedchamber I’ve done for this client,” says Devon Tobin, co-founder of the Littleton-based close that has advised assorted homes for the adolescent couple—including this one. Handmade by the homeowner and his ancestor from slabs of narra hardwood, the allotment is absolutely rustic, but the couple’s appearance isn’t as calmly defined: “They are absolutely eclectic,” Tobin says. “They adulation modern, they adulation industrial, she has a accurate affection for that adult comfortable look…they aloof adulation acceptable design.” To amuse all their tastes this time around, Duet accumulated a texture-rich mix of accoutrement that bulk the appearance spectrum: a feminine brace of mercury-glass-and-bronze lanterns from Currey & Company; glassy copse Sho Avant-garde nightstands with perforated-metal bases and acrylic drawer pulls; linen curtains and Roman shades; and a showstopping abstract-watercolor wallcovering from Breadth Environments. “The headboard is low and the ceilings are high, so the wallcovering creates a array of ‘headboard wall,’ ” Tobin explains. The look, admitting bold, is advised to last: “I like to advance the banned of architectonics in areas that are accessible to change—a crazy wallcovering, adventurous pillows,” Tobin says. But, she adds, back it comes to the room’s foundations—walnut-paneled ceilings, site-finished white-oak floors, custom-stained baseboards—“the constancy of those is forever.” Until the abutting bedchamber comes along.

When the buyer of this Ablution Park abode asked artist Stephen Barsch and autogenous artist Megan Hudacky, arch of CKY Design, to alter his dim, straight-outta-the-1980s kitchen with a “warm modern” space, Barsch responded with a large, light-filled allowance that opens—via a 20-foot-wide, multi-slide abridged door—onto a ample patio and pond pool. But this presented a new challenge: “Open kitchens can calmly get chaotic with accouterments and drawer faces and assorted materials,” Hudacky says. Preventing that fate, she says, was “as accessible as eliminating the hardware, [minimizing] the bulk of high cabinets, and application the aforementioned abstracts in the kitchen as we did throughout the house.” That palette—stone, wood, and metal—might complete familiar, but the means in which Hudacky manipulated these abstracts is annihilation but. Slabs of white marble—which bout the island’s top and glassy sides—create a three-sided box that conceals the ambit hood. Planks of reclaimed pickle-vat copse (sourced by Reclaimed DesignWorks and akin to actualize a not-too-rustic surface) add ambit to the coffer abaft the bar sink. And balmy brass—typically activated in a chiffonier bulge here, a faucet there—covers an absolute coffer of bar cabinets custom fabricated by Scott Gottwald and David Kremer of Architectonics Labs. “I consistently feel like the bar is that breadth breadth you can do article a little unconventional—and so we did,” Hudacky says. For the backsplash wall, she veered abroad from archetypal circuitous or alms tiles, opting instead for limestone rectangles set in a herringbone configuration—“a attenuate way to accompany in a admirable pattern,” she explains. Broad expanses of brushed-oak cabinetry, Tom Dixon’s assumption Tube table (which Hudacky customized with a new copse top), caramel-colored covering dining chairs from DwellStudio, and rows of aphotic metal beam ablaze accessories answer the ablaze and aphotic tones of the wood-plank walls, creating a texture-rich amplitude that’s modern, yes, but additionally so warm, it glows.

This Hilltop home’s alfresco active allowance began with a accepted architectonics directive—provide aloofness and shade—and solution: adjustable adumbration sails positioned over a accurate patio. But afterwards a year, it became bright to the homeowner that a commonplace abstraction aloof wasn’t activity to cut it. “[The homeowner] capital article sculptural and extraordinary,” says Paul Wrona, a arch at mural architectonics close Elevate By Design. Specifically, the applicant envisioned a booty on a acceptable teahouse, congenital with the aforementioned palette of metal and copse acclimated central and alfresco his home. “We all fell in adulation with the idea,” Wrona says, and the aggregation got to assignment designing a anatomy alpine abundant to bout the home’s roofline, advanced abundant to mirror the alveolate patio’s footprint, but still baby abundant to feel agreeable and cozy.

Powder-coated-steel abutment posts and beams accord the anatomy adherence while visually anchoring the space. Ipe copse slats accommodate a faculty of softness. To accomplish some abnormality in the design, Wrona’s aggregation created a apprehension with a all-encompassing blueprint of the slats, again the homeowner and Chad Beall of Tree Frog Woodworking adapted the architectonics as they laid anniversary allotment on site, abrogation one accessory accessible to “invite an absolute L-shaped baptize affection into the space,” Wrona says. A awning advised to attending like a abate adaptation of the teahouse provides aloofness for an adjoining alfresco kitchen. A minimalist blaze affection advised by Denver architectonics close Entasis Group, smartly placed LED up- and downlights on the teahouse, and orb-shaped ablaze accessories ablution the alfresco allowance with a balmy glow, rounding out a architectonics that’s anatomic by day—and absolute bewitched by night.

Student Exploration: DNA Analysis

Vocabulary: allele, codon, DNA, DNA sequence, gene, genotype, identical twins, nitrogenous base, phenotype, trait

Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)

The two navy officers shown at left are identical twins. Why do you think identical twins look so similar?

Most brothers and sisters don’t look exactly the same. What causes most siblings to have different appearances?

Gizmo Warm-up

Except for identical twins, the DNA sequence of every individual is unique. In the DNA Analysis Gizmo™, you will analyze partial DNA sequences of frogs.

Select the POPULATION tab. What are the three main traits that vary between the frogs?

Which frog would you expect to have the most similar DNA sequence to frog A? Why?

Activity A:

Identical twins

Get the Gizmo ready:

Select the FIND THE TWINS tab.

Question: How are DNA sequences used to analyze relationships?

Observe: Look at the three frogs on the TWINS tab. How does their appearance compare?

Predict: What do you expect the DNA sequences of the three frogs to look like?

Scan frogs B and C. Drag their DNA sequences into the bin. If two frogs are identical twins, they will have exactly the same DNA sequence. Compare the three sequences.

Could any of these frogs be identical twins? If so, which frogs?

Apply: Click New.For the new frogs, find the possible pair of identical twins.

Which two frogs could be identical twins?

How do you think DNA sequences can be used in the real world to identify relationships between individuals?

Activity B:

Comparing genes

Get the Gizmo ready:

Select the POPULATION tab.

Question: How is DNA sequences used to analyze traits?

Observe: Describe frog A’s phenotype.

Compare: Which frogs share frog A’s skin color, but not its eye color or spots?

Which codon or codons are identical in all three frogs?

Scan more frogs with orange skin until you are confident that you have identified the correct codon that represents the allele for orange skin. Describe the results:

Which codon codes for orange skin in this frog population?

Analyze: Pick out two frogs with blue skin and nothing else in common.

Which codon do they share?

Scan two more frogs with blue skin to confirm you have identified the correct codon. Describe the results:

(Activity B continued on next page)

Activity B (continued from previous page)

Orange skin

Blue skin

Pink eyes

Green eyes

Spots

No spots

Codon

Bases

A,B,E,F,I,J,M,N

C,D,G,H,K,L,O,P

A,E,I,M,C,G,K,O

B,F,J,N,D,H,L,P

A,B,C,D,I,J,K,L

E,F,G,H,M,N,O,P

Is Vancouver’s Real Estate Market a Bubble?

youtube

Will 2018 Bring Changes to Vancouver Real Estate Prices?

Kerry Gold has written for the Globe and Mail’s real estate section since 2007, covering B.C.’s dynamic and often controversial housing market. She is also a frequent contributor to The Walrus and other major Canadian media publications.

Perhaps there is no better time than now for Kerri to join us on the podcast.

One year into the Foreign Buyer Tax, with interest rates on the rise, OSFI audits and stress tests ongoing, and softening in the high price bands, many argue that the market’s outlook is bleak.

Join Matt and Adam as they turn the tables and interview Kerry, delving into topics such as the media coverage of the real estate industry, foreign speculation, city-owned vacant homes, and the continuous ‘bubble’ discourse that has dominated market conversations for years.
