![]() This modulation uses the vectorial property of light waves and coding digital bits as different states of polarization, which can be well preserved in long FSO links, to effectively overcome the phase noise of the laser source and relatively improve the performance of the BER. ![]() Polarization shift keying (PolSK) has been proposed to partially alleviate the restrictions of atmospheric turbulence. This impairment, measured by the scintillation index ( SI) and phase noise, will severely reduce the beam quality, resulting in high error rates and greater probability of interrupted communication, seriously affecting the stability and reliability of the FSO communication system and significantly restricting further development of the FSO technology. However, the most significant problem is that FSO links suffer from random changes in the refractive index caused by variations in air temperature and pressure, , which lead directly to intensity scintillation and phase fluctuation. Recently, there has been a resurgence of research interest in free-space optical (FSO) communication for its advantages of greater bandwidth, higher data transmission rates, more compact equipment, faster link installation, lower power consumption and better security over radio frequency (RF) communications. This study provides reference material for further design of the CPolSK system. Furthermore, we demonstrate that controlling the circular polarization control error below 8° as well as the normalized threshold within 8 dB, 9 dB and 10 dB in turbulent scenarios from weak to strong levels can significantly reduce the probability of communication interruption occurring. This consequently adds to the demand for emissive power from the CPolSK system. The deterioration in BER performance, caused by intensity scintillation and phase fluctuation, is augmented by the power penalty conditioned by the circular polarization control error. Simulation results show that atmospheric turbulence and circular polarization control error have significant effects on the BER performance and interruption of communication in the CPolSK system. We derive closed form expressions of the bit error rate (BER) and outage probability for evaluating the BER performance and communication interruption in the Gamma–Gamma distributed channel model. Intensity scintillation and phase fluctuation induced in atmospheric turbulence, from weak to strong levels, are specifically researched with respect to circular polarization control error caused by the system design. ![]()

![]() ![]() When the villagers went to set up the trap in the tomb, they were assaulted by these minions and most lost their lives, unbeknownst to the rest of the town.Īfter fitting the pieces of their maps given to them by the Mayor together, the players set off into the woods. Asar made short work of the bandits and raised them from the dead to do his bidding. Some bandits had broken into Kassen’s Crypt and woken up his rival, a Necromancer named Asar who had been interred with him. The villagers even would set up relatively harmless traps along the way to test the adolescents’ resolve. In years past, this coming of age ceremony to retrieve an ever burning flame was completely safe. Our team of teenage characters received summons from the elders of the town telling them to retrieve the “Ever Flame,” from the Crypt of Kassen, the town’s founder. One orison in particular, Beast Tongue, came in real handy later. In general, Vaelyn was a very OP character for this adventure path, with both healing magic to do double damage on undead and some really interesting JuJu magic that made her able to completely vanish from unintelligent undead and hold undead. He begrudgingly accepted it as a means to defeat a greater evil after some role-play conversations. Brynn, being a Paladin, definitely objected when Vaelyn used her JuJu magic to do necromancy. Together they were quite the odd pair, preferring to talk in Infernal or Elvish rather than leting the other characters know what they were thinking. Varren was a Wizard who was obsessed with becoming a Litch one day. Vaelyn was a JuJu Oracle who scattered bones for premonitions. Michelle, the more experienced player, and was rounding the party out with two characters, twin half-elfves Varren and Vaelyn. ![]() The gift he wound up giving Brynn as he left was some magic beard wax that made his beard grow 1d12 inches per application with 20 charges in the jar. According to Sir Drammott, you only need two things to be a man: a good pair of shoes to get you where you need to go, and a good beard on your face to charm the ladies. He became kind of an inside joke in our group, being an old, gruff man who went on long winded rants about his time serving in the war. Sir Drammott is the NPC mentor for whatever Paladin PC ends up in your party. He had the typical tragic backstory of his parents both dying during a battle against orcs at Last Wall, and was the adopted son of their friend Sir Drammott. Brynn was ridiculously handsome, having thrown everything he had into charisma (Over 20). This whistle comes back in later.Ĭonnor was playing a Paladin of Iomadae named Brynn Brighthand. Astrid gave Marigold a parting gift before her journey - what was essentially a dog whistle that would allow her to make easier wild empathy/handle animal checks. In a way, he was actually preparing her for their trip going horribly, horribly wrong. Poor Shelby couldn’t roll very high against Astrid’s bluff checks, and so her character dumbly fell for every one of his lies. He had her very scared about the Crypt of the towns founder, Kassen, that the characters were about to visit, even though in the adventure path, the coming of age journey the characters take there is supposed to be safe. “My big brother says-!” she’d exclaim in an annoying voice before launching into some long exposition. Her character constantly referred to what her big brother, Astrid, did or did not say. She agreed that she couldn’t use it in combat until level 4 when rangers actually get their companion animals, so it was more like a mascot for the party. In this game, Shelby was playing a Halfling Ranger named Marigold with a snake companion animal. I’m thankful to have some really solid players who never miss games: my college best friends Shelby and Michelle, and Shelby’s little brother Connor. I was GMing Pathfinder, specifically the Crypt of the Everflame Adventure Path a few months back. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the Floodlight camera detects movement, it turns on its two powerful LED beams as well as its sharp 1080p camera, and starts recording. The Ring Floodlight Cam combines two essential devices in one: A home security camera and a motion-activated floodlight. Blink's app is fairly robust, and while it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Arlo's cameras, this sub-$100 has plenty of features for the price. Cloud storage starts at $3/month or $30/year.īecause Blink (and Ring) are owned by Amazon, the Blink app also has a connection to Ring's Neighbors app, where you can see a feed of other incidents in your neighborhood, and post videos from your Blink camera. While it lacks free cloud storage like the older Blink XT2, you can save videos locally to a USB drive. While not tops, the 1080p video is records is good for the price. The Blink Outdoor's case is weatherproof, so you can stick it either indoors or outside, and comes with a convenient mounting bracket. The camera runs off two AA batteries (which should last up to two years), and communicates wirelessly with a small base station that's connected to your Wi-Fi network. The Blink Outdoor is the best home security camera for those looking for a truly wireless option for less than $100. As a result, the original Arlo Ultra is being discontinued. But if you want the absolute best when it comes to video quality, the Arlo Ultra has it.Īrlo has released the Arlo Ultra 2, which has a spotlight built into the camera. And if you want to save 4K videos, it’s an extra $1.99 per camera per month, on top of the monthly plan, the latter of which is waived for the first year. The Arlo Ultra doesn't come with a free tier of cloud storage, so you have to spend at least $3 per month if you want to save any videos. ![]() A built-in spotlight also enables color recording at night, and it has dual microphones for better audio.Īll of this will cost you, though: A single camera (with the hub) is $399, and extra cameras are $299 each. Not only do the Arlo Ultra’s cameras deliver the best home security camera video, but it also uses that extra resolution to enable digital track and zoom, which makes it easier to follow and ID a person as they move across the frame.

Southwest Portland local Alvin Brown killed three women and attempted to murder one more in the 1980s. As of 2015, law enforcement was still looking for more victims’ bodies. Ridgway evaded a life sentence through a plea deal in 2001. Ridgway was also hyper-religious during these marriages but frequently had sex with prostitutes. Ridgway often went back to those bodies and had sex with them again. Ridgway had a handful of troubled marriages in which he reportedly demanded sex from his wives several times a day, sometimes in public places where he later dumped his victims’ bodies. The boy, whose liver was punctured, survived. Ridgway’s crimes began with his stabbing of a six–year–old boy when Ridgway was 16. ![]() In the 1980s and 1990s, Ridgway said he had killed so many women he lost count. ![]() His first five victims were discovered in the Green River in Washington state. Ridgway strangled and dumped the bodies of mostly sex workers and vulnerable women in Washington and Oregon while he worked as a commercial truck painter. 18, 1949, has been proven to be responsible for the deaths of 49 people but is suspected of killing at least 90. He was most recently sentenced to death again in November 2015. He was sentenced to death in 1989, 1994, and 2006, but the Oregon Supreme Court rescinded these verdicts when laws changed or technicalities arose. Rogers has remained in prison since 1988. In all, Roger’s eight murder victims and many victims of assault have ranged in age from 15 to 35. He sawed the feet off some of them, and one had her entire abdomen gutted. Rogers hogtied, slashed, and tortured his victims. The bodies of six women that didn’t survive were found off the side of logging roads in the Molalla woods. Rogers abused some women several times over, and their testimony was crucial to his convictions. Before that, Rogers had been targeting prostitutes that were addicted to heroin and taking them on “dates” to the woods and giving them miniature vodka bottles and orange juice before torturing them. ![]() Prosecutors said Rogers’ killing had been for a sexual thrill. Rogers dumped her body behind a restaurant in Oak Grove. 30, 1953, was arrested for stabbing and killing Jennifer Lee Smith, a 25–year-old prostitute. The Molalla Forest Killer: Oregon’s most prolificĭayton Leroy Rogers, born Sept. So since it’s Halloween, let’s get right to a few of the most notorious serial killers from the Pacific Northwest. Perhaps because any one of us could fit the profile, mystery drives our obsession. However, the news, documentaries, crime shows and horror movies are obsessed with crazed serial murders. Research put out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation says “ there is a macabre interest in the topic that far exceeds its scope and has generated countless articles, books and movies.” While the FBI doesn’t seem to keep or release numbers on the amount of serial murders that happen each year, we do know that no specific age, race, or psychological profile exists. However, the government says they are a minimal threat. Terrifying, right? Though Oregon ranks number six in the nation for serial murders, we actually know very little about what drives these killers.īy definition, serial murder means three or more killings completed in a style that suggests they were done by the same person. Seven out of every million of you beanie-toting Oregonians will be murdered by a serial killer. ![]() ![]() Its full name is pressure nominal, the unit is MPa. 1 bar is equal to 14.5038 Pound-force per Square Inch (psi) 1 Pound-force per Square Inch (psi) is equal to 0. In the valve piping system, we can also see another parameter: PN, which is the nominal pressure. From the weight of 1 kg acting on an area of 1 cm², its value is exactly equal to about 10⁵ Pa=1bar, which means that what we call 1 kg (pressure) = 1 bar. The kilogram in general pressure units is an acronym. Then comes the introduction of Kg (kilogram). ![]() Psi and bar are used more often, and MPa is rarely used. It seems very complicated, but in fact, the conversion in daily life is generally between psi and bar, and between bar and MPa. Psi means "pound per square inch", which means 1 pound of force acts on an area of 1 square inch. The metric units we usually use are KPa, MPa, and bar. The unit of pressure is Pascal, which is "Pa", 1 Pa is equal to 1 N of force acting on an area of 1 square meter, that is, 1Pa=1N/m². Next, I will explain the conversion method of pressure units KPa, MPa, bar, psi, and Kg in detail for you.įirst, we must realize that pressure does not force, the unit of pressure is N, and pressure refers to the vertical force on the unit area of an object. Different countries and regions use different units, so in international trade, it is very important to convert the two to achieve unity. Pressure units are divided into metric units and imperial units. Among them, the pressure unit is essential, and there will be relevant descriptions in the design, application, and product characteristics. ![]() Valve and pipe fitting systems have many important parameters. ![]() ![]() You don't need to dominate with size when you have a headline and a compelling offer.

You are trying to get someone to read your ad and understand how you are different from the 234 other businesses that do what you do listed right there on the same page. Here's how to make sure that your Yellow Pages investment pays off. As I stated before, when people reach for the Yellow Pages they are motivated and often ready to buy or find a business to visit. The Yellow Pages can be a great tool for most businesses. Go ahead, pull out the yellow pages and you'll see what I mean. You go look in the Yellow Pages and you see a big ad, with a border, with color and a big fat logo at the top and you copy it. Most end up being designed by the Yellow Page ad sales folks who basically tell you that you need a bigger ad, with a border, with color with, your name big and bold at the top.or It's no wonder I run across scores of business owners who complain they never get any results with their Yellow Pages Ads. What you will find are bunch of ads that might as well say, "We don't do anything different than anyone else, but here's our phone number so you can call and ask for a quote." I would challenge you to pick any category and flip to it. You see, most Yellow Pages ads are completely wasted. To end the debate right here I will state without hesitation that most businesses can benefit greatly from effective Yellow Page advertising, not in spite of the situation described above, but because of it. ![]() On the other hand, when they turn to your section, they are immediately greeted with the ads of most of your competitors right there along side your ad.

During the hearing, William Yarroll, a self-described "neuroscientific researcher," claimed that backward messages could be deciphered by the human brain. In April 1982, the Consumer Protection and Toxic Materials Committee of the California State Assembly held a hearing on backward masking in popular music, during which "Stairway to Heaven" was played backward. One example of such hidden messages that was prominently cited was in "Stairway to Heaven." The alleged message, which occurs during the middle section of the song ("If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now.") when played backward, was purported to contain the Satanic references "Here's to my sweet Satan" and "I sing because I live with Satan." įollowing the claims made in the television program, California assemblyman Phil Wyman proposed a state law that would require warning labels on records containing backward masking. ![]() In a January 1982 television program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network hosted by Paul Crouch, it was alleged that hidden messages were contained in many popular rock songs through a technique called backward masking. “Life is infinitely stranger than the mind of man can imagine.This article or section is a stub.
