Foundations of Amateur Radio As you might know, a little while ago I started a new project. "The Bald Yak project aims to create a modular, bidirectional and distributed signal processing and control system that leverages GNU Radio." In embarking on this adventure I've been absorbing information as I go whilst explaining what I've learnt to anyone who will sit still long enough. Credit to Glynn VK6PAW and Charles NK8O for their patience. For most people, me included, the introduction to GNU Radio happens via a graphical user interface where you build so-called flowgraphs. These are made up of little blocks that you wire together to get from a Source, where a signal originates, to a Sink, where it terminates. Each of these blocks does something to the signal, it might be a filter, an amplifier, it might encode or decode a signal like FM, AM, Wideband FM, or some other modulation like Phase Modulation or OFDM, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, a way of transmitting digital information using multiple channels. It's used in places like WiFi, ADSL and DSL, Digital Television as well as modern cellular systems. Those blocks generally expect a specific type of input and generate some particular output. After you save your design you can run the flowgraph and behind the scenes some magic happens. Your visual representation of signal flow is translated into either Python or C++ and the resulting application is what is actually run, which is why the user interface that you design your flowgraph in is cunningly named, GNU Radio Companion. So, what if you want to do something that doesn't yet exist? As it happens, that's where I came across a YouTube video by John VE6EY called "GNURadio Embedded Python Block" which neatly describes a fundamental aspect of how the GNU Radio framework actually operates. One of the blocks available to you is one called "Python Block", which you can add to your flowgraph just like any other block. What sets it apart from the others is that you can open it up and write some Python code to process the signal. When you first insert such a block, it's already populated with some skeleton code, so it already does something from the get-go and that's helpful because if you break the code, you get to keep both parts. Seriously, it allows you to figure out what you broke, rather than having to worry immediately about how specifically the code is wired to the outside world, which let's face it, is not trivial. If you're a programmer, think of it as the "Hello World" of GNU Radio. If not much of that means anything, think of it as a variable electronic component. If you need it to be a capacitor, it can be that, or a transistor, a whole circuit, or just a filter, all in software, right there at your fingertips and no soldering required. Now I'm under no illusion that everybody is going to want to get down and dirty with Python at this point, and truth be told, I have a, let's call it "special" relationship with the language, but that is something I'm just going to have to get over if this project is going to go anywhere. For my sins this week I attempted to recreate the intent of John's video on my own keyboard and discovered that debugging code in this environment might be tricky. It turns out that you can actually print out Python variables within your code and in the GNU Radio environment they'll show up in the console inside the companion window, which is handy if you committed one of many Python sins, like say attempting to compare an integer against a list. Don't ask me how I know. One thing I'm planning to attempt is to get the same thing going for C++ output. By default GNU Radio Companion uses Python, but you can change it so instead of generating Python, it can generate C++. Whilst I have no immediate need for that, I do know that at some point it's likely that I will, like say when I want to run something on an embedded processor, or some other contraption. So, whilst I have nothing to lose, I want to try out the boundaries of my new toy, besides, I have form, in testing boundaries that is. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

“Trust yourself.” That is a key lesson shared by our latest guest, an academic leader. And really, that is the goal of education, right? To build your capacity, so you can trust yourself to effectively execute. We also believe in the importance of capacity building for entrepreneurs and marketing professionals. For example, we provide free marketing thought tools (https://meclabs.com/course/tools/) – simplified frameworks to help spark your next great marketing campaign. We call them “thought tools” because they help spark your ideas and insights, so you can trust yourself instead of trusting some tools' secret AI to magically provide the answer. “Trust yourself” is just one of the lessons shared by Michael Diamond (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeldiamond/), Academic Director and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Integrated Marketing and Communications Department (https://www.sps.nyu.edu/homepage/academics/divisions-and-departments/division-of-programs-in-business/integrated-marketing.html), New York University School of Professional Studies, in our latest podcast episode. Diamond supports over 1,000 graduate students and more than 200 faculty members at NYU.Some lessons from Diamond that emerged from our discussion:Build capabilities that endure, and not just quick fixes to near-term problems.Tackle problems with integrity, self-reflection, and some humor.Trust yourself and your instincts, especially when you feel passionate about something.Speak truth to power. Trust yourself.“We hired you because you are smart, you have our support, and we expect you can figure it out.” “It's not just the how and what of marketing and PR, but often ‘who' is in the room.”Related content mentioned in this episodeThe MarketingExperiments Quarterly Research Journal (https://marketingexperiments.com/journals/1st%20Quarter%20(2011)%20-%20MEx%20Research%20Journal.pdf)Executive Master's in Marketing and Strategic Communications (https://www.sps.nyu.edu/homepage/academics/masters-degrees/executive-masters-in-marketing-and-strategic-communications.html)Value Proposition Workshop (https://meclabs.com/services/value-proposition)Franchising and Marketing: In a world of chicken dinners, be a lobster dinner (Podcast Episode #14) (https://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/franchising-and-marketing)Not Enough Lobster In The Ocean: Trusting their gut leads to 90,000% revenue growth at Mint Mobile (Podcast Episode #11) (https://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/revenue-growth-podcast) Marketing Wisdom: In the end, it's all about… (https://sherpablog.marketingsherpa.com/social-networking-evangelism-community/marketing-wisdom-last-post/)Get more episodesTo receive future episodes of how I Made It In Marketing, sign up to the MarketingSherpa email newsletter at https://marketingsherpa.com/newsletters

Did you know that at one point the US government was just giving out free TV's? And did you know that Siri can totally hear what you're saying at all times? Doesn't that just wig you out??? For some of us, the answer is nah. But according to our illustrious guest, actor and comedian Sarah Claspell, we should all be a little more worried about exactly what data our TV's and smart phones and wise watches are collecting. We also touch on pie thumbs, geometry, bombs, the NSA, nerds, and much much more. This episode also features a WILD cameo from our friend Alexa. Still waiting on those 100 beers.
Myria Georgiou talks about uses of transnational television among Arab speaking populations in Europe to explore questions around citizenship. As migration to the UK has increased in number over the past decade or more, it has become a highly salient, heavily contested political issue as well. Migration as an 'issue' is now a focal point for British public opinion, media coverage, and political debate. This term's seminar examines the relationships among these elements. We will examine how migration is represented in the media, and how media consumption can in turn construct the migrant experience as well. We will examine how various segments of the British public understand migration as a political issue, and how migration may be in turn transforming British politics. We will also take revealing looks at how migration policy and migration-related media coverage are generated, from both insiders' and outsiders' perspectives.

Your Dog Prefers The New HDTV. When you purchased that new high-def TV, you were probably thinking how crisp the picture appears to you. Did you know that your dog couldn't see what we saw with your old TV? It just looked like the horizontal hold needed to be adjusted because all your dog saw were lines going up and down. Today's new Digital Television delivers the signal differently, and yes your dog can see the same picture you see, but probably not the same colors. Red is still white to the canine eye. That Slobbery Kiss Doesn't Necessarily Mean Fido Loves You Perhaps because human beings form such strong bonds with dogs, we tend to assign human-biased traits to their behavior. The technical word is Anthropomorphism. We project our own feelings onto our furry-family members. And more often than not, we're wrong. That slobbery kiss beckons back to early wolf behavior and the regurgitation of food. While it is a positive behavior, it has nothing to do with kissing. Christo's Son Following in Father's Footsteps Environmental Artist Christo's son, Cyril, has created a stunning photo book of elephants. His message is poignant. Elephant populations are declining because of illegal poaching and the destruction of our environment. Cyril and his wife Marie describe their journey and mission. Cyril guests this week on Animal Radio® Do Dogs Feel Guilt? We may think those puppy eyes are expressing remorse or even guilt for something your dog did wrong. Truth is that canines don't feel guilt, and this look was developed to appease you according to Alexandria Horowitz. The psychology professor tops the best-selling book list with Inside Of A Dog, and she's Animal Radio's special guest this week. What's Bloat? Why is it so common? Many breeds are predisposed to stomach bloat. This can actually be fatal if the stomach flips upside down. A surgical procedure can almost alleviate bloat. A blind listener is selecting a service dog and needs help deciding if bloat will be an issue. H1N1 Sicken Cat and Ferrets The Swine Flu Virus has touched our four-legged family members. Reports of cats and ferrets contracting the H1N1 virus have put us on full-alert. Dr. Julie Levy has the truths and myths about how the virus can affect our animals. Levy says if we get the flu, we shouldn't spend time close to our pets. While dogs don't seem to fall victim to this brand of flu (they have their own dog flu), felines and other domestic pets are at risk! Animal Radio® has complete coverage of this important news event. Dogs Allowed - No Kids A German eatery has opened touting the dog-friendly policy. May not seem different, but the owner has decided not to allow kids or children. He says they're noisier and dirtier than the four-legged clientele. So far, not too many complaints about the policy. Is this something we should try in America? More
