Q: Why does iteratively solving the Hartree-Fock equations result in convergence? [ Cross-posted to the Computational Science Stack Exchange: https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/questions/1297/why-does-iteratively-solving-the-hartree-fock-equations-result-in-convergence ]
In the Hartree-Fock self-consistent field method of solving the time-independent electronic Schroedinger equation, we seek to minimize the ground state energy, $E_{0}$, of a system of electrons in an external field with respect to the choice of spin orbitals, $\{\chi_{i}\}$.
We do this by iteratively solving the 1-electron Hartree-Fock equations,
$$\hat{f}_{i}\chi(\mathbf{x}_{i})=\varepsilon\chi(\mathbf{x}_{i})$$
where $\mathbf{x}_{i}$ is the spin/spatial coordinate of electron $i$, $\varepsilon$ is the orbital eigenvalue and $\hat{f}_{i}$ is the Fock operator (a 1-electron operator), with the form
$$\hat{f}_{i} = -\frac{1}{2}\nabla^{2}_{i}-\sum_{A=1}^{M}\frac{Z_{A}}{r_{iA}}+V^{\mathrm{HF}}_{i}$$
(the summation runs over nuclei, here, with $Z_{A}$ being the nuclear charge on nucleus A and $r_{iA}$ being the distance between electron $i$ and nucleus $A$). $V^{\mathrm{HF}}_{i}$ is the average potential felt by electron $i$ due to all the other electrons in the system. Since $V_{i}^{\mathrm{HF}}$ is dependent on the spin orbitals, $\chi_{j}$, of the other electrons, we can say that the Fock operator is dependent on it's eigenfunctions. In "Modern Quantum Chemistry" by A. Szabo and N. Ostlund, pp. 54 (the first edition) they write that "the Hartree-Fock equation (2.52) is nonlinear and must be solved iteratively". I have studied the details of this iterative solution as part of my research, but for this question I think they are unimportant, except to state the basic structure of the method, which is:

*

*Make an initial guess of the spin-orbitals, $\{\chi_{i}\}$ and calculate $V_{i}^{\mathrm{HF}}$.

*Solve the eigenvalue equation above for these spin orbitals and obtain new spin-orbitals.

*Repeat the process with your new spin orbitals until self-consistency is reached.

In this case, self-consistency is acheived when the spin-orbitals which are used to make $V_{i}^{\mathrm{HF}}$ are the same as those obtained on solving the eigenvalue equation.
My question is this: how can we know that this convergence will occur? Why do the eigenfunctions of the successive iterative solutions in some sense "improve" towards converged case? Is it not possible that the solution could diverge? I don't see how this is prevented.
As a further question, I would be interested to know why the the converged eigenfunctions (spin orbitals) give the best (i.e. lowest) ground state energy. It seems to me that the iterative solution of the equation somehow has convergence and energy minimization "built-in". Perhaps there is some constraint built into the equations which ensures this convergence?

A: There is no guaranteed solution to get convergence on the ground state. But there are really good algorithms used like DIIS. And as always you need a good starting point to not get stuck at a local minima. And this is e.g. Hückel operator or INDO guess.
As the Hartree-Fock method relys on the variational principle you find a lower energy with a better trial wavefunction. A better wavefunction is the Slater determinant and eigenvector of orbitals. The orbitals are made of a finite basis set. So the self consistent field solutions are accurate to the given basis set if and only if the system is given by a single Slater determinant and you have choosen the correct one. Modern quantum chemistry software like Gaussian, is really good in getting the correct ground state by e.g. checking the symmetry, good starting guess, do an annealing process etc. Colleagues told me to get an excited state they had to manually start with a unphysical wrong symmetry so the calculation do not converge instantly to the ground state.

A: I remember doing SCF calculations back in the early 80s, and it was by no means guaranteed that the calculation would converge or that it would give you the ground state. Several of my calculations diverged at the first attempt, though putting a bit more thought into the starting point would usually produce convergence.
I don't think I ever accidentally ended up with an excited state, though I'm sure I remember this happening to colleagues. However it was usually easy to see that you didn't have the ground state.
I can't comment on whether this issues are inherent to the method or whether it was the particular implementation that was at fault. I don't remember the name of the software being used. This was at the Chemistry department in Cambridge in 1982/3.

Q: I am compiling a Barbecue Cookbook. Looking for BBQ recipes that are suitable for the "Average Person".
I don't want recipes that involve exceptionally expensive or difficult-to-find ingredients. I am looking for unique recipes that have been passed-down through familes, etc.
The idea is that a regular person can make one trip to the local supermarket, and pick up everything he/she needs to make a great grilled meal. I am trying to appeal to everybody, as much as possible.
Easy-to-prepare side dishes (and possibly desserts) will also be included; again, the idea is simplicity and economy.
All of these recipes, as well as advice on cooking technique, will be available on my Web Log, Barbecue For Real. In exchange, I get to try out new recipes.
Contributors will be credited for their recipes.
Q: Do you have recipes to share?
I am still working on building my Barbecue Recipe Blog. All of the recipes on the blog (except for my own) have been donated by people from around the world. If you have BBQ recipes (main dishes, vegtables, desserts, whatever!!) that you'd like to share, please let me know.
All contributors will be fully credited for their contributions.
Brush fish lightly with oil; sprinkle with seasoned salt.
Grill fish uncovered 4 to 5 inches from medium-high heat about 10 minutes, turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Mix salsa, avocado and olives. Serve over fish. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro. Enjoy!!
Q: Does anybody have good recipes for barbecuing?
I'm looking for different but good recipes I can use to bbq since we always eat the same things and I'm getting sick of it. Any ideas?
A: Use Italian salad dressing as a marinade for chicken.
Make skewers of meat and vegetables for shish- kabobs.
Make pockets of vegetables wrapped in tinfoil and grill with seasoning and butter.
Q: bbq recipes for 50 people?
We are getting married on the 4th of july in no. illinois and want to have bbq. Anyone have awesome recipes for some barbecued chicken legs/ country style pork ribs? And tips on how to prep and cook for that many?
Make two batches of this marinade and marinate the chicken and ribs the night before.
The morning of the big day, take all meat out of the marinade and wrap it in foil. Cook the meat on 300 for 4 hours.
Then, take the meat to the place you are having the get together and grill it basting with your favorite BBQ sauce.
Q: Any good recipes for BBQ chicken wings?
Cut the tips from the chicken wings, and discard. Disjoint each wing using kitchen shears or deboning knife. Place and spread wings evenly on 1 inch deep baking dish or broiler pan. Bake wings at 350 degrees 40-45 minutes, or until meat begins to losen from bone. Remove and discard grease from pan.
Meanwhile, mix all the other ingedients in a sauce pan. Bring to a rolling boil. Simmer about 20 minutes until thick.
Line 1 inch deep baking dish or broiler pan with aluminum foil. Spread wings evenly on pan. Pour sauce evenly over wings. Bake until nice and gooey, 10-15 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
Q: Anyone got a good recipe for BBQ ( Barbecue )sauce?
1. In a large saucepan over medium low heat, mix together ketchup, garlic, 1 cup of water, hot sauce, honey, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, Cajun seasoning, paprika, red pepper, white pepper and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer approximately 30 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water. Adjust amount of water as needed to fully dissolve cornstarch. Stir into the sauce mixture. Continue simmering approximately 15 minutes.
3. Stir butter into the sauce mixture. Continue simmering mixture approximately 15 more minutes, or until butter is melted and the sauce has begun to thicken. Serve over meats prepared as desired.
Q: BBQ shrimp dinner recipes needed please?
We love to barbecue, its hot this weekend and I don't want to cook. We have never had shrimp on the barbecue. Any tips you can give me?
We know how to use the grill lol!
If this isn't what you want try another at www.cooks.com.
Q: besides just plain old barbecue chicken what is a good recipe that smothers the food with bbq sauce?
what can i cook or barbecue that would just be savored with bbq sauce flavor? anything is a good thing?
Ahhh RIBS of course how coudl i forget anything else?
A: I make a glazed meatball that is a favorite around my family. I make the usual meatloaf recipe with ground beef, egg, cracker crumbs, crushed tomatoes, onion, salt and pepper. I make the meatballs HUGE (softball sized) and bake them till done. I drain the pan and cover the meatballs with this glaze: 1 cup catsup and 1/2 cup bbq sauce and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Add garlic powder and black pepper to taste..
Return to oven and bake 15-20 minutes till glaze looks dry. Serve with creamed potatoes and a garden salad.
Q: Head Country Barbecue Sauce Recipe?
My husband went to OK for military training and fell in love with Head Country BBQ Sauce. I've been searching the net for recipes to make the sauce. I'm also looking for other BBQ recipes and sauces for brisket, pulled pork sandwiches, and coleslaw that isn't all watered down but nice and crisp. I love the carolnia style but I'm trying to find a great dry rub and carolina style sacue recipe.
For something different, I'd like to barbecue fish. Have been told that the best way is to purchase fresh fish (cleaned, de-boned, etc.), wrap it in foil and put on grill on low to medium. What seasoning are best, and do I add butter inside the foil? How long to cook and is low-med. correct? What fish is easiest? Unfortunately 2 of my family members will not eat salmon or tuna, but like almost any other type of fish…I'm thinking trout (?) (I live near a fish outlet where I can purchase fresh fish). Any suggestions and/or simple recipes would be appreciated! Thanks.
p.s. – I BBQ'd large pre-cooked shrimp in foil and was ok, not great – perhaps because it was pre-cooked?
We are having a BBQ tonight and I need some great recipes to impress our guests. Any ideas?
1.Preheat grill for high heat.
2.In a medium bowl, mix curry powder, red pepper flakes, salt, ginger, paprika, cinnamon, and turmeric with water to form a smooth paste. Rub paste into chicken breasts, and place them on a plate. Cover, and allow to marinate for 20 minutes.
chicken cubes of the bone…marinate with(if its half a chicken)……mustard powder 3 tsp, salt according to taste, ajinomoto 3 tsp, vinegar 1 tbsp, soya sauce 2 tbsp….marinate for 30 minutes or more(it will taste better……..when your charcoals are hot…..in each wooden stick put a chicken cube, put a piece of tomatoe(square shape) , capsicum(square shape),onion(square shape) and put 3 or 4 chicken cues in one stick……and bbq it…………in suace pan put some oil put 1 cut green chilli cut from between, add 6 to 7 tbsp of tomatoe paste, black pepper, salt and chilli powder according to your taste…..and cook for about 7 to 10 mins you would need to add a little bit of water……….when the chicken sticks are done pour this sauce over the sticks and its ready to eat!….and is very yummy!
You make a salad too!…its good with BBQ…….if you want to make a mayonnaise salad….make this one……..put 3 tbsp mayonnaise add about 2tbsp milk, a tsp ketchup, salt according to taste, caster sugar ½ tsp…mix well…….add boiled peas, corn, beans, macaroni (1/2 or less than ½ pack) and peel, cut in small cubes of potato and boil and add this too….your salad is ready!…..if you want it to be crunchy….instead those boiled stuff add sliced cabbage, carrots, chopped apples and some ice berg lettuce……..if you don't want mayonnaise dressing then in 2tbp vinegar, add 4 cloves of crushed garlic, 1 tsp caster sugar salt and pepper according to taste and some olive oil or salad oil(I use cooking oil too sometimes) and 1 ½ tsp oregano leaves(optional).
oregano leaves 1 ½ tsp, dried parsley 2 pinches, some garlic powder 2 tsp would be enough….a pinch of dried red chilies would be good too…..cut the french bread into slices…cover you baking tray with foil……put the butter mixture on each slice….place on tray cover top with foil make some holes with a fork…..and place the tray on your hot BBQ stand…..check when sides aare golden…this will take about 10 or 15 mins on a BBQ stand….do check…and serve!
Make a drink: take one big bottle of sprite of 7up….add half pack of apple juice or grape juice(I like apple)…..chop one 1or 2 apples into tiny bits(very tiny)…you can add a few very thin slices of apple, add this to the mixture chill and serve!
You can make butter the buns a bit only and toast them over the BBQ stand….and BBQ burgers patties also…put mayonnaise on the buns some ice berg lettuce….burger patties on it and ready to eat…….you can make you own BBQ patties too in mince add woschestershire sauce, salt,ajinomoto and pepper according to taste…add more spices its better…enjoy your BBQ!
Q: Barbecue pork/beef ribs & sauce recipes?
ok im looking for new bbq/sauce recipes i hear alot about southerrn bbq but never had it so any 1 with a good recp. plz share heres how i do mine my pork ribs i take'em rite out the pack season with salt,pepper,soul seasoning,& what evers in the cabinet & on the grill they go my sauce i mix a bunce of sauces together with a lemon & a beer ketchup & heat slow all day ti'll my bbq is done people say all my bbq/sauce is really good but i be whiching that grilling show on that channel versus & i cant even start to imagine what they bbq be tasting like so i really wanna get some good recipes for this summer & i use a charcoal grill thx….
You can vary the sauce for the spareribs according to your taste, of course, but you and yours will love it "by the book." The recipe easily doubles if you are feeding more than 4 or 5 people and have a grill or pit to accommodate that much meat. Remember, you are not grilling directly over the coals, so you won't be able to use the entire grill surface.
You'll be grilling the ribs for about an hour and a half, saucing them during the last 15 minutes. This sauce contains brown sugar and other ingredients that will flame up, so indirect grilling is called for. Start your charcoal or wood or fire up your gas grill. Rub the slab of ribs all over with the olive oil, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and rub it in. Cover and set aside.
Start your sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. When it begins to bubble, add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients, stir and turn heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes until mixture is somewhat reduced and thickened. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings, if you think it necessary.
When your grill is ready, put the ribs, bone side down, in the center of the grill. Make sure that the drippings won't drip directly onto the heat source. Cover the grill and open the vents enough to make sure there's air flow. Grill the ribs for 1 hour, turning at 30 minutes and one hour.
If you need to build up your fire again, add more coals at this point. Be sure to keep the lid closed at all times unless you are tending the ribs or the coals.
About 15 minutes before they are due to be ready, give the ribs a good basting on both sides with the sauce. Bring the sauce back to a gentle boil for a few minutes. When the ribs are done to your liking, take them off the grill and serve immediately with the sauce on the side.
In a pot, mix and simmer all the ingredients except the Jack Daniel's Whiskey for 1 hour. Add the whiskey after the mixture has cooked and cooled.
Q: Seeking recipe for spicy japanese bbq sauce–with miso?
There's a great restaurant in the Sacramento, CA area called Mikuni's where they serve tuna with a spicy red sauce. I think it may have a miso base, but it looks like a barbecue sauce. Does anyone have a recipe for it?
A: I don't have that kind of recipe but I will get what I have, here it is..
Put miso paste in a bowl. Add sugar and mix well. Then, add other ingredients in the bowl and stir well.
I just had Brazilian barbecue last night for the first times last night and it was so delicious. Does anyone have the recipe on they make their barbecue beef? I think it's called "churasquerias".


We often get asked how the characters and images are created at SKS. So we've put together a guide for how the basics work in our studio.
SKS actually uses a combination of image styles and constructions to arrive at the look and feel we want.
Most importantly, each character and prop starts as a hand concept sketch. After that, the images undergo numerous stages to bring that sketch to life. This process can vary with different images, but we'll outline the fundamental process to give you an idea of what we do.
It all starts here with the original idea and a quickie sketch to solidify the concept. Our new character here, Soldier Brodie, starts life on a clipboard. These ideas and sketches can happen anywhere and usually do. The drawing may be far from the final item, but it is the seed from which the refinement process starts. A concept may undergo a dozen of these sketches before proceeding.
We've decided our new Brodie character concept is ready, so now it's time to draw a Rough Sketch. This sketch is actually a refined version of our original concept done in the studio.
At this stage, details like position, posture and expression are critical. All aspects of the final image must be taken into account here.
Items that the character has on or with him (called Practicals) are conceived and added to the sketch at this point for later reference. Careful planning at this stage ensures that everything will interact smoothly in the upcoming processes.
We're on the computer now and the Rough Sketch pencil image has been scanned, imported and digitized.
In this operation the hand-drawn sketch lines are carefully converted into more precise lines. Minor refinements to scale, position or perspective can be done here. The most important part of this stage is maintaining the original 'feel' of the previous hand-drawn sketches and concepts.
Now we get to add colour to our image. The Finish Lines give us the colour boundaries for this process. These colour areas are then digitally masked to provide clean separation and definition.
At this point only a solid base colour is chosen and digitally placed in the masked areas. This colour is called a Flood and we usually start with ones in the mid-range shade of our choice.
This stage really begins to breathe life into our image.
After colours are chosen and areas flooded with a solid color its time to add a bit of depth and realism.
The masked color areas are now shaded and highlighted individually. A digital airbrush allows fine and subtle details to be added and brings the image into a more dimensional mode.
The lighting intent of the final image must now be taken into consideration.
All the while our image has been undergoing transformation the various Practicals (props) are being created. Depending on detail required, they may be done in a similar manner or in a 3D modeling program.
These various items must then be visually merged with the character image. Color, shading, highlighting, size and perspective are just a few of the aspects of this process.
This is the point at which everything comes together. Our character is merged with his Practicals and props and everything is adjusted to match lighting, colour and shading.
Minor adjustments can be made to image proportions to fine-tune the visual interaction. Artwork with multiple characters get combinations of these composited images merged together.


A development team based in Berlin Germany has created a new Arduino shield which has been created to provide an easy way to teach kids to code. The hardware has been called the Awesome Shield and has taken to Kickstarter to raise the required funds it needs to go into production and create video tutorials.

Gatling Model 1861
Battlefield Support Weapon
Ironically, Dr. Gatling originally designed his Gatling Gun for the purpose of reducing the size of modern armies and, in turn, reducing the number of battlefield deaths.
MANUFACTURER(S): Dr. Richard J. Gatling - USA
ACTION: Hand-Cranked Rotating Action; Simultaneous Feed
CALIBER(S)*: .45/70
SIGHTS: Iron
• Gatling Gun - Base Series Name
• Model 1861
• Model 1865 - Rimfire copper-based cartridges; adopted in 1866.
Detailing the development and operational history of the Gatling Model 1861 Battlefield Support Weapon. Entry last updated on 9/12/2016. Authored by Staff Writer. Content ©www.MilitaryFactory.com.
Richard Gatling patented his ferocious weapon in the early 1860s and the type was subsequently used in the American Civil War to deadly effect. The basic principle revolved around a steady feed of ammunition supplied to ten rotating barrels to help prevent the barrels from overheating. Rotation of the barrels were hand-cranked by the operator/aimer. A second soldier would insert a fresh forty-round magazine into the top of the weapon as needed. Magazines were fed from a large vertical "hopper".
Gatling guns came in a variety of calibers following the Civil War and these included the .45, .50 and even a 1-inch caliber. Despite its impressive 350-to-400 rounds per minute rate-of-fire, such an instrument was none-the-less prone to jamming.
Transportation was provided for by two large, multi-spoked wheels to either side of the weapon. The wheels were attached to an axle which also served as the base mounting for the gun itself. A tow system at the rear of the gun allowed connection to another two-wheeled axle system carrying ammunition supply boxes. The entire unit could then be carted by horse or pack mules as needed.
Despite its potential, the Gatling Gun saw little action along the Western Frontier in post-war America. Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders made use of no fewer than four Gatling Guns in their battle up San Juan Hill in Puerto Rico, resulting in an American/Cuban victory over the Kingdom of Spain. Gatling Guns also defended Fort Davis in Texas for a time, these being Model 1865 versions firing new rimfire copper-based cartridges.

Open Ended: films by Kevin Jerome Everson
With a sense of place and historical research, Kevin Jerome Everson's films combine scripted and documentary moments with rich elements of formalism. The subject matter is the gestures or tasks caused by certain physical, social-economic, and environmental conditions in the lives of working class African Americans and other people of African descent. Instead of standard realism he favors a strategy that abstracts everyday actions and statements into theatrical gestures, in which archival footage is re-edited or re-staged, real people perform fictional scenarios based on their own lives and historical observations intermesh with contemporary narratives. The films suggest the relentlessness of everyday life—along with its beauty—but also present oblique metaphors for art-making. This exhibition is in partnership with The Public Cinema and Big Ears music festival.
On the Fringe of Conformity: Clarence Morgan
This exhibition of drawings and paintings explore linear patterns that operate in a pictorial space. Utilizing random shapes and biomorphic forms within an intricate network of drawing, collage elements, and subtle color, Morgan's work ranges from highly patterned organic painting compositions to meticulously articulated and somewhat minimal collage-drawings. A native of Philadelphia, PA, Clarence Morgan has been a professor in the Department of Art at the University of Minnesota since 1992.

The office of 35th Ward Ald. Rey Colon with the Metropolitan Planning Council will host three community meetings with the residents of Logan Square, potential developers and city organizations on Sept. 9, Sept. 16 and Sept. 30 to decide the way to redevelop the Logan Square area.
Community members will work hands-on with a team of development professionals ― they will build their vision of Logan Square on top of a map in a "block exercise" and discuss the feasibility of those ideas.
"I purposefully wanted to make sure everyone had an agenda so that all would be in the mix," Colon was quoted saying in Dnainfo.com. "Everybody gets their say, but not necessarily their way. Hopefully that will get the highest and grandest results."
At least two major redesigns to the area is expected out of the meetings — the Bicentennial Improvement Project, which would upgrade the Logan Square bus station and Emmett Str. parking lot at 2634 N. Milwaukee Ave., and the Milwaukee Avenue Corridor Initiative where a redesign of the land from the Megamall, 2500 N. Milwaukee Ave. to the Logan Square bus station is planned, reports Dnainfo.com.
Other plans include CTA's $494 million renovation of the O'Hare branch of the Blue Line where the development of the entrances to the stations are also considered, and a road study to lay out options for the bus terminal just north of the square.
Stressing on increasing the public space, Charlie Keel, a project organizer for the Bicentennial Improvement Project, has proposed to shift Kedzie Avenue slightly to the north to help prevent confusion and increase public space at the heavily traveled gateway.
The construction work is expected to begin by 2018, states Colon. The project is in celebration of Illinois' 200th birthday.

Hello, everyone. My name is Zhihong Lin. I work in Product Marketing and the Business Development Team in High-speed Interface Group. Today I'm going to talk about how to enhance system performance with signal conditioner. Signal conditioner is a device that can help improve signal quality, thus provide better system performance. It has been an option in system design in the past. Often can view it as insurance to provide peace of mind that the signal quality can be guaranteed. As signal speed increases, such as USP 3.1 is reaching 10 gig, and HTML 2.0 is 6 gig, display pool 1.3 and 1.4 are 8.1 gig. This multi-gigabit signal cannot travel too far without significant signal degradation. Another factor is the processor nodes are shrinking to sub 28 nanometer. The capability of the processor for driving the signals has also been decreased. Therefore signal conditioner has increasingly become the necessity in multi-gigabit signal chain design. In this presentation, we will look at the fundamentals of signal conditioner and how to identify opportunities in various applications in USB, HDMI, and DisplayPort. Nowadays, we could easily find many electronic products using high-speed technology around us, such as USB, SATA, and PCIE for higher data rate transmission, HDMI, and DisplayPort for higher resolution video. Typical high-speed transmission system includes transmit and receive. There are traces, connectors, cables, between transmit CPU and receive CPU to properly transfer the information. Maintaining signal integrity for these high-speed signals over transmission media is very important but quite challenging. There are many factors contribute to signal integrity degradation when signal passes through these traces, connectors, and cables. Insertion loss is the loss of signal power resulting from any obstacles in the signal path. The longer the trace or cable, the more loss incurred. Crosstalk is a phenomenon that signal transmitted in one channel create undesired effect in another channel. Crosstalk is usually caused by capacitive, inductive, or conductive coupling from one channel to another channel. Inter-symbol interference is a form of signal distortion in which one symbol interferes with subsequent symbols. This is an unwanted phenomena, as the previous symbols have similar effect as noise for the current symbol. This is making the communication less reliable. The symbol interval is getting smaller with higher speed. So the higher the signal speed, the more prone to inter-symbol interference. Noise is the unwanted signal that does not carry useful information. Signal needs to be maintained in a certain signal-to-noise ratio in order to be decoded properly at the receiver end. Signal reflection occurs when a signal is transmitted along transmission media such as cable or connector. Some of the signal power may be reflected back to its origin rather than being carried all the way along the cable to the far end. This happens because imperfection in the connector or cable cause imperious mismatches and long linear changes at the interface. Jitter is any deviation from the true [INAUDIBLE] of a digital signal. The deviation can be in terms of amplitude, phase timing, or the width of the signal pulse. Among the cause of jitter are EMI and crosstalk with other signals. Jitter can cause display monitor to flicker, affect the ability of the processor in desktop or server to perform as intended. It can introduce clicks or other undesired effects in audio signals. All these factors will cause high-speed signaled to suffer signal degradation. So how do we solve signal integrity problems? The most important aspect is to ensure the transmission channel can achieve the equalized frequency response for all frequency components. So equalization is a typical signal conditioning technique to combat signaling integrity problem. Here is an example of the signal output before and after equalization. Pre-emphasis is one form of equalization, which is to boost high-frequency signal before transmission. The emphasis is the opposite of pre-emphasis which reduce some frequency magnitude to achieve equalization. This is useful if certain frequency magnitudes are too high and close to saturation, which could potentially cause clipping and distortion. Clock data recovery is to recover the clock from incoming data and regenerate a clean signal to remove signal noise and the jitter. By integrating the techniques mentioned earlier, we create a signal conditioner to solve the signal integrity challenges. The simpler form of the signal conditioner is redriver, which is an analog component to restore and attenuate an input signal through equalization and gain adjustments and retransmit the signal based on signal specification. It can shift common mode voltages. The next level of signal conditioner is a retimer, which is a mixed signal component to recover and attenuate the input signal with the clock data recovery circuits, compensate the phase and random jitter, then retransmit the signal based on signal spec. An active switch is an analog component that integrates the redriver or retimer with cross-bar switch or multiplexer/de-multiplexer to connect different endpoints while maintaining or improving signal quality. The benefits of using signal conditioner is to maintain signal integrity or improve signal quality over long trace or cable. to enable design flexibility on PCB layout between signal source and the connector, to improve system performance and pass compliance, and to enable broad range of interoperability and extend distance signal can travel across cable or trace. The ever-increasing sophistication of technology advancement has created more and more appetite for higher-quality video display. For example, in addition to 4K resolution, HDMI 2.0 doubled the frame rate from 30 frames per second to 60 frames per second over HDMI 1.4, which effectively increased the radio transmission data rate to 6 gigabits per second from 3.4 gigabits per second per data link. Higher data rate into multi-gigabit level has posted significant challenges on video signal quality when transferring from video source to video sync. The need for a signal conditioner has never been more prominent in these higher-resolution video applications. The high-definition multimedia interface HDMI is the popular radio interface started in 2003, which can carry both video and digital audio from source such as video controller to a sync device such as HDTV or monitor. HDMI is backward compatible with digital visual interface and using transition minimize differential signaling as the main communication channel. Each TMDS data link can support 6 gig for HDMI 2.0 and 3.4 gig for HDMI 1.4b. We have some example eye diagrams to show the signal quality progression when travels through the transmission media for HDMI interface. The first eye diagram is the signal generated by GPU HDMI output. The second shows the eye diagram degradation after the HDMI cable. The last eye diagram shows the eye almost completely closed after reaching to the HDMI receiver. So we need to do something about it to make sure the HDMI receiver can decode the data properly. We can use HDMI retimer to solve this problem. A good retimer can provide robust TMDS receive stage with adaptive equalization enable it to work with non-compliant HDMI input signal and high-loss cables. Also can provide CDR for cleaning up inter-symbol interference, random phase and sinusoidal jitter. TMDS181 provides such retimer capability to support HDMI 2.0, where TMDS171 is retimer supports HDMI 1.4b. The eye diagram showing using these retimers can really clean up the signal, re-open the eye to meet the required eye mass again. DisplayPort is the newer display interface introduced by the Video Electronic Standards Association in 2008, aimed to replace VGA and the DVI for connecting PC monitors and projectors. DP 1.2 supports high-bit rate 2 of 5.4 gigabits per second per link. And DP 1.3 and DP 1.4 supports high-bit [INAUDIBLE] of 8.1 gigabits per link. The main link consists of one, two, or 4 AC coupled differential links. AC coupling enables DP source and DP sync to have different common mode voltages. The auxiliary channel is used for link training, which allows source and sync to communicate and establish robust audio-video link with acceptable data rate. Hot plug detect is used to notify source of the connection or generate interrupt request by the sync device. Two mode DisplayPort, DP++, was introduced to enable DisplayPort interoperability with DVI and HDMI interface. It is comparable to HDMI 1.4b performance that supports 4K at 30 frames per second. It can directly transmit HDMI TMDS signal using simple adapter. Here is the example for end-to-end DisplayPort signal interface. Again, we can see many places will cause signal integrity issues. Trace between DP source and the connector may generate 3 dB loss. The connector may generate another 3 dB loss. The cable may generate 4 dB loss, and the similar loss can be happening in the receiver end to video link sync. Unlike HDMI, that DisplayPort clock is embedded in the data, thus to generate signal while need to have clock data recovery mechanism, also called CDR, to recover the clock from the data, then regenerate the clean data downstream. So by using retimer with CDR to help improve the system performance by recreating the good-quality DP signals. Signal conditioner such as redrivers and retimers can implement several features to improve signal integrity. A good signal conditioner can support adaptive or fixed equalization to clean up inter-symbol interference or loss from bandwidth-limited boards and cables. Retimers use clock data recovery circuits to clean up random phase and sinusoidal jitter. Good retimers have wideband CDR tracking and narrowband jitter cleansing as well as the capability to work with wide frequency range and has selectable source termination to match traces and impedance to reduce reflection in the signal pass. It provides several features for passing compliance and reducing system-level design issues which compensate for the attenuation when driving long cables or high-loss bore traces. SN65DP159 is dual-mode DisplayPort or AC coupled TMDS to HDMI 2.0 retimer, supporting all the features mentioned earlier. And SN65DP149 is the retimer supporting HDMI 1.4b. Both handle AC coupled to DC coupled physical layer conversion. The clock data recovery technology is essential for retimer as video signal conditioner. It can recover the clock from the data, and the regenerated clock can be forwarded to the sync device. It can enable signal recreation without using expensive external components. It can clean up the inter-symbol interference, random phase, and sinusoidal jitter. Here are two eye diagrams to show before and after the retimer. Our two retimers, DP159 and TMDS181, are designed with this CDR technology inside. In addition to adaptive equalization, both support 6 gig TMDS output with 4K-2K 6 DP resolution. DP159 has another application called X mode, which serves as DisplayPort to DisplayPort retimer. This is world's first DP-to-DP retimer. Check out Application Notes in ti.com in DP159 Product Folder. It supports DP 1.2 HBR to 5.4 gigabits per second data rate. It provides 15 dB equalization gain and the CDR to compensate the jitter. This mode is also featured in Xilinx DisplayPort IP reference design. EyeScan is visualization to MPC that can display eye diagram at the receiver. It allows visibility for signal quality and able to monitor or change the status of the device while it is in operation. It is also able to generate PRBS and use the underlying device to obtain link quality. EyeScan 2 uses USB interface from DP159 or TMDS181 EVM connecting to the laptop and display all the data channel on the gigabit interface. The configuration allows you to select the number of links you want to display for the eye diagram. This select allows you to configure EyeScan resolution. The equalization control enables user to select between adaptive or fixed EQ settings for tuning and debug. The EyeScan tool also allows you to read or write individual registers to dynamically configure the device at runtime. By using EyeScan can speed up design and debug cycle and enable faster time to market. Here are a few application examples where retimer can be used in the video system. DP159 can be used in graphic card DP to HDMI dongle to generate clean HDMI output. TMDS181 can be used inside the monitor or TV to clean up any signal degradation from the HDMI receiver. TMDS181 can also be placed inside cable to make HDMI [INAUDIBLE] cable and extend the cable length while cleaning up the signal quality. Signal conditioner such as retimers and redrivers can also be used in the video broadcasting and distribution system. We have DP130 which is DisplayPort 1.2 5.4 gig redriver, and DP141 is DisplayPort 1.3 and DP1.4 8.1 gig redriver. Both can be used in DisplayPort interface. For HDMI interface, if GPU SoC/FPGA output is DisplayPort dual mode or AC coupled the TMDS data, DP159 can be used. If data stream is DC coupled TMDS, then TMDS 181 will be ideal retimer solution. By using signal conditioner in video broadcasting and distribution will help improve system performance and enable best quality video content delivery. Similarly, DP159 and TMDS181 can be used in AVR or DVD player near the HDMI connectors to generate clean video images. Here are some detailed comparisons with DP159, DP149, TMDS181, and TMDS171 so you can select the right part for different application needs. DP149 and TMDS171 support HDMI 1.4b up to 3.4 gigabits per second, while DP159 and TMDS181 supports HDMI 2.0 up to 6 gigabits per second. Dp140 and DP159 support AC coupled input, while TMDS171 and TMDS181 support DC coupled TMDS input. DP159 has two package options. One is RSP package which is 5 by 5 millimeters square. Another is RGZ package which is 7 by 7 millimeters square. RGZ package has more features such as eye to see over auxiliary channel and the consumer electronic control. Also TMDS171 and TMDS181 support audio return channel. We have many customer success stories with DP159 and TMDS181 for video distribution and HDTV market. Customers used them close to HDMI connector to overcome HDMI signal integrity issue. Various applications such as video conferencing, 4K HDTV and monitor, dongles, video infrastructure, and any HDMI display interface can benefit with these retimers. TI is chosen because TMDS181 and DP159 are the industry lowers the power HDMI retimers. They have adaptive equalization that can dynamically configure the best EQ setting based on channel condition. They are HDMI 2.0 compliant and feature CDR technology for best signal quality performance. And the beauty in real-time diagnostic EyeScan 2 enables easiest system design and debug. Here is another retimer, SN65DPHY440 for MIPI D-PHY CSI to DSI interface. This is industry first MIPI DSI/CSI retimer. This device can provide up to 4 gigabits per second total bandwidth, which is 10 times more comparing to alternative solution. Higher bandwidth DPHY440 enables higher resolution image with cleaner signal. DPHY440 has three stages of signal conditioning. The receiver can provide up to 4 dB equalization to compensate the channel loss so output can achieve equalized channel response. CDR will provide jitter cleansing to remove random jitter and noise. The last transmit stage can provide up to 2.5 dB pre-emphasis and dynamic transmit deskew to further improve the signal quality. DPHY440 can be used for camera interfacing laptop automotive civilian system and anywhere a camera is placed away from central processor. It can help drive long cables or long trace between camera and the CPU, clean up signal, and enable best image quality. Here is summary of our video signal conditioner and switches. We have HDMI DP switches supporting different standard versions. The latest HD3 SS214 is two-to-one or one-to-two differential switch that can support DP 1.3 and DP 1.4 8.1 gigabits per second. We also have different DP redrivers. The latest DP141 can support DP 1.3 DP 1.4 8.1 gigabits per second and, of course, the HDMI 2.0 and DPHY440 retimer family, as we have presented here. A signal speed continues to increase such as HDMI 2.1 is reaching 12 gig. There will be more and more systems required to have signal conditioner in high-speed data pass to ensure standard compliance and deliver the desired signal quality. USB has been very successful interface over the years. Let's look at the benefit how signal conditioner can improve system performance on USB interface. Let's first look at USB 2.0. USB 2.0 supports up to USB high-speed 480 megabits per second. It has four wires, two bi-directional differential data pair, and one Vcc, and the one ground. Potentially, USB signal needs to travel through long cable or trace. This could cause signal degradation. Also system may not pass USB 2.0 compliance. And the USB hub does not solve USB signal integrity issues. These conditions require to have redriver in the system to enable clean USB to signal in many applications. USB 2 bi-directional data transfer allows data to transmit in both directions on the data line. This has posted significant challenges for signal conditioner, as redriver typically will only redrive data in one direction. Not easy to redrive both directions without breaking the bi-directional data links. TUSB211 is the world's first bi-directional USB 2 redriver. It is capable of driving both directions of the USB 2 signal without breaking D+ and D- trace. It is compatible with USB 2, USB On The Go, and battery charging 1.2 spec. It is a cost-effective solution to offset signal integrity impairments caused by external switches, connectors, and ESD solutions to pass USB certification. TUSB211 has the world's smallest QFN flow-through packaging and does not require expensive protocol-level packing repeater logic and agnostics to host device packet direction, in turn achieves 70% power reduction, comparing to full packet repeater. Comparing to USB hub, TUSB211 supports Host Flip and OTG as well as flow-through trace routing. It only consumes 50 milliwatt power, comparing to around 500 milliwatts for USB hub. The footprint is 1.6 by 1.6 millimeter square, much smaller than 6 by 6 millimeter square for typical USB hub. TUSB211 is also automotive qualified so you can put in the car infotainment system to enable superb user experience was in-car USB connectivity. We have many success stories with TUSB211 from electronic systems to automotive, showing here are [INAUDIBLE] in automotive infotainment. TUSB211 helps customer to pass USB compliance, also enables driving long cable or long trace in the system. Now let's look at the benefit of using USB 3 signal conditioner. First, take a look at USB 3 signal format. USB 3 keeps the USB 2 signal intact for backward compatibility and adding a dual simplex data pass with a revised USB protocol, one dedicated uni-directional differential pair for transmit traffic and one dedicated unidirectional differential pair for receive traffic. Either USB 2.0 or SuperSpeed USB bus is active at any given time. Advantage of using USB 3 redriver is illustrated in this picture. The top picture showing that USB signal insertion loss when travels through 12-inch trees versus 28-inch trace. As we can see, the longer the trace the more loss signal will incur. Also, higher-frequency component suffers more loss. The USB 3 signal conditioner can be viewed as trace shortener. By using signal conditioner in the system, the insertion loss of 28-inch trace looks like a 12-inch trace, as if 16-inch trace are magically disappeared. We have complete USB redriver solutions. TUSB501 is 5 gig USB 3 one channel redriver. LVP512 is 5 gig USB 3 two-channel redriver. And the TUSB1001 is 10 gig USB 3 with one redriver. This is an example TI design of USB dongle that es USB 2 and USB 3 signal conditioner to enable long cable connections and better signal quality. This plug-and-play design supports both USB 2 and USB 3, using bus power without the need for external power supply. TUSB211 is used as USB 2 redriver and TUSB501 is USB 3 redriver on each transmit and receive pass between USB plug and the receptacle to enhance signal quality. Here is an example of using TUSB1002 USB 3 redriver, capable of driving USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 gig SuperSpeed+ and 5 gig SuperSpeed signal with 3 meter cable. Before using the TUSB1002, the eye diagram is failing the eye mask. By using TUSB1002, the eye opens up and passing the eye mask again. As USB continues to evolve to USB Type-C, let's first look at how Type-C connector is constructed, in turn, understand the requirements on type C interface. USB Type-C is flippable interface with more form factor of less than 3 millimeter height. The flippability of cable is enabled through dual redundancy of pins in the port and plug. Directions through these pins is handled by muxing based on orientation. Type-C port pin contains USB 2 D+ and D- data bus, USB 3.1 transmit-receive pair configuration channel for cable attached detection. Cable orientation detection, row detection, and current mode detection. One unused CC becomes VCONN to support power for active cable or adapter. VBUS for cable bus power and ground for cable ground. SBU mean side band use, which is not for USB but is open for alternate mode such as DisplayPort over Type-C. Here is an example using TUSB542 and TUSB211 in Type-C interface to enable reliable USB Type-C data transfer. TUSB542 can be used in types of USB 3 interface, providing two to one switch with redriving capability between type-C connector and the USB controller or device. TUSB211 can be placed in USB 2.0 data pass to clean up USB 2 signal. This signal conditioner can be used in desktop PC, laptop, TV, monitor, USB hub, docking station, desktop hard drive, and many other applications. In summary, here is our current released portfolio on USB signal conditioners. We have USB redrivers to support USB 2 480 megabits per second, TUSB211 to USB 3, 5 gigabits per second, to USB501, LVP512, and the USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 gigabits per second to TUSB1002 redrivers. We also have USB Type-C 5 gig redriver switch, TUSB542, as well as USB and DP 1.3, DP 1.4 alternate mode redriver switch to USB546 to support both USB data and the video signals. And we are continuing to enhance Type-C active switches to deliver clean signal on USB and DP out mode operations. Thank you for watching this video. I hope you'll find this useful and able to leverage these TI signal conditioners to solve your design challenges. Let us know if you have any questions. We are here to help. Thank you.

With a nod to "Ocean's Eleven" (and perhaps before that, the "A-Team"), a new film promoting Activision's forthcoming "Call of Duty WWII" sees a gang of old friends get back together to play the new game.
Director Simon McQuoid helms the spot, by 72andSunny, which starts with an office worker meekly approaching his boss about a performance review. Or so he thinks. Actually he's been called in by his friend, who informs him that "Call of Duty" is going back to World War II, and they need to "get the guys back together."
Together they assemble an eclectic crew, including one man who's assumed to be off limits as he's married with kids. There's also a dude whose partner they mistake for his mom, a mother bogged down with her little ones who opts in (following the offer of a baby-sitter) and a woman living in a blingy mansion with a hot tub. It's all set to the Royal Blood track "Figure It Out."
"Call of Duty: WWII" debuts on November 3.

KELCE MAKES MILESTONE START, EXTENDS CATCH STREAK: TE Travis Kelce made his 100th career start in today's contest at Tampa Bay. He has started 100 of the 107 career games he's appeared in and has started in 58 consecutive games that he's been active in dating back to Week 1 of the 2017 season (9/7/17 at New England). Kelce finished the game with eight receptions for 82 yards, extending his streak of consecutive games with a reception to 106 games. That mark is the second-best mark in franchise history (Tony Gonzalez, 131 games) and is tied for the fifth-longest active streak in the NFL with Browns WR Jarvis Landry. Kelce owns 74 receptions for 978 yards in 2020, needing just 22 yards to record his fifth-consecutive 1,000-yard season, which would extend his current NFL record streak of 1,000-yard seasons by a tight end, which sits at four seasons. Kelce's 978 receiving yards are the second-most by any pass catcher in the 2020 season, and he trails only teammate Tyreek Hill (1,021).

With today's game, along with his 10-reception, 215-yard, two-touchdown performance at Los Angeles in 2018, Hill becomes the sixth player in NFL history with two-career games of at least 10 receptions, at least 200 receiving yards and at least two receiving touchdowns, joining PFHOFs Don Hutson and Jerry Rice, as well as Amari Cooper, Chad Johnson and Art Powell, per NFL Research.
His three touchdowns are tied for the third-most touchdown receptions in a single game in franchise history and tie a single-game career high for Hill who also recorded three receiving touchdowns at New England on Oct. 14, 2018. It was the 12th time – by eight different players – that an individual had three or more touchdown receptions in a single game. WR Sammy Watkins was the last player to accomplish the feat prior to today, doing so with three scoring receptions at Jacksonville on Sept. 8, 2019.
It marks his third-consecutive game with 100 or more receiving yards, tying for the third-longest streak of 100-yard receiving games in team history. He becomes the eighth player in franchise history to record 100 or more receiving yards in at least three straight games and joins TE Travis Kelce who already had a streak of three 100-yard receiving games this season (11/1 vs. New York Jets, 11/8 vs. Carolina, 11/22 at Las Vegas). They are the first teammates to accomplish the feat in the same season.

+-Tilapia (recirculating aquaculture system)
MORE ABOUT TILAPIA
Most tilapia in the U.S. market are one of three species: blue, Mozambique and Nile.
In many of the developing countries where tilapia is raised, farming practices are less environmentally friendly than in the U.S. Since tilapia are not native to these areas, severe ecological damage can occur if tilapia escape to the wild. They can out-compete native species and greatly reduce aquatic vegetation.
In the U.S., tilapia are raised in closed tank systems, where the risk of escape is greatly minimized. Tilapia are fed mostly vegetable-based diets, and farming operations produce little water pollution.
+-Tilapia (ponds- Ecuador, raceways- Peru)
Most tilapia sold in the U.S. is imported from Latin America and Asia, where fish are raised in outdoor freshwater farms. In Ecuador, tilapia are grown at low densities alongside shrimp to reduce water pollution. The result is less disease and chemical use.
+-Tilapia (ponds, imported except Ecuador)
Most tilapia sold in the U.S. is imported from Latin America and Asia, where fish are raised in outdoor freshwater farms. In China and Taiwan, problems with escaped fish and water pollution have been greatly reduced, however chemical use is still a concern

Family Leadership in Language and Learning (FL3)
The summary for the Family Leadership in Language and Learning (FL3) grant is detailed below. This summary states who is eligible for the grant, how much grant money will be awarded, current and past deadlines, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers, and a sampling of similar government grants. Verify the accuracy of the data FederalGrants.com provides by visiting the webpage noted in the Link to Full Announcement section or by contacting the appropriate person listed as the Grant Announcement Contact. If any section is incomplete, please visit the website for the Health Resources and Services Administration, which is the U.S. government agency offering this grant.
Family Leadership in Language and Learning (FL3): This announcement solicits applications for the Family Leadership in Language and Learning Program (FL3) for the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening and Intervention Program. The purpose of this program is to support the development of statewide newborn and infant hearing screening, evaluation, diagnosis, and intervention programs and systems by promoting the inclusion of families, parents, and caregivers of deaf or hard of hearing infants/children identified through the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program as leaders in the statewide Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) system and thereby to support such children's language, literacy, and social-emotional development. This purpose will be achieved by focusing efforts on: 1) supporting state/territory organizations that provide support to families of deaf or hard of hearing children; 2) coordinating with the HRSA-supported National Technical Resource Center for Newborn Hearing Screening and Intervention and state/territory EHDI programs in improving family engagement, partnership, and leadership within the EHDI system, and 3) collaborating with established Deaf Mentor programs[1] for families. Program Goal The goal of the program is to ensure that statewide EHDI systems incorporate certain elements that support the families, parents and caregivers of deaf or hard of hearing infants/children identified through newborn hearing screening in optimizing language, literacy, and social-emotional development. Program Objectives All (100 percent) state/territory EHDI systems will develop partnerships with identified statewide, family-based organizations or programs that provide family-to-family support to families of deaf or hard of hearing children identified through newborn screening by the end of the three-year project period. To increase by 30 percent from baseline, the number of families who report increased knowledge, skill, ability, and self-efficacy to serve as leaders in national and state/territory EHDI systems by the end of the three-year project period. To increase by 50 percent from baseline, the number of families that receive family-to-family support by the end of the three-year project period. To increase by 50 percent from baseline, the number of families with knowledge of opportunities for language, literacy, and social development for their children by the end of the three-year project period. To increase by 30 percent from baseline, the number of families that are offered support from Deaf Mentors by the end of the three-year project period. Program Requirements Family Leadership in Language and Learning The recipient is expected to: Conduct a formal, national needs assessment of families of infants/children identified to be deaf or hard of hearing through newborn/early childhood hearing screening, ensuring the inclusion of information from diverse populations of families across a broad range of disadvantaged and underserved groups, within the first six months of the project. Use the information to: Build a portfolio of trainings, educational materials, resources, etc., to support family partnership, engagement, and leadership within the EHDI system; and Inform and shape support, family education, and mentorship activities. Collaborate with the HRSA-supported National Technical Resource Center for Newborn Hearing Screening and Intervention (NTRC) in strengthening the EHDI system to promote support for families of deaf or hard of hearing infants/children in optimizing their children's language, literacy, and social-emotional development. Provide technical assistance and training to state/territory EHDI systems and other organizations that support the needs of deaf or hard of hearing infants/children to improve family engagement, partnership, and leadership within the EHDI system. Family Support The recipient is expected to: Support identified statewide state/territory EHDI systems, including community-based organizations that partner with such systems, to provide culturally sensitive, family-centered training opportunities and materials on mentoring, support, and guidance to families and other system stakeholders (e.g., health professionals, early intervention programs, public health programs, etc.). Develop and provide resources to state/territory EHDI systems on assuring that families are active participants and leaders in EHDI systems. Resources should address the families' role in all aspects of the system and with all stakeholders. Family Education The recipient is expected to: Support state/territory EHDI systems in dissemination of resources and information to families, including importance of enrollment in early intervention services supported by Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Collaborate with the NTRC to ensure resources developed and disseminated are inclusive of family needs. Collaborate with national experts in language and literacy acquisition for infants identified as deaf or hard of hearing to develop, identify, and disseminate resources and training opportunities that highlight and summarize the latest evidence-based research findings around: Appropriate cognitive, social, and emotional developmental processes and milestones in deaf and hard of hearing infants and children; Language acquisition and literacy in deaf and hard of hearing children: Benefits to infants/children who are deaf and hard of hearing on access to language during critical periods of learning. Appropriate language milestones for families and professionals to monitor deaf or hard of hearing infants'/children's language and literacy development. The positive effects of multimodal and multilingual communication on language and literacy development in deaf and hard of hearing children. Effects of unconscious bias on decision making and its relationship to acceptance and support for diversity and inclusion[2] with specific regard to deafness and the deaf and hard of hearing communities; and Tools and materials for families to structure home environments and family activities to support continuous, visual access to communication and environmental information (e.g. innovative use of lighting to support visual communication and information through alarms/alerts, use of captioning on media devices, infant's visual access to family interactions, etc.). Develop culturally sensitive communications campaign for families of deaf and hard of hearing infants/children on the importance of language development and acquisition and risks of language deprivation. Deaf Mentor Programs The recipient is expected to: Develop strategies to support meaningful inclusion of deaf and hard of hearing adults within national, state, and territory EHDI systems. Engage and collaborate with deaf-based organizations that operate Deaf Mentor programs to learn best practices and to integrate new knowledge into disseminated resources and training curriculums. Develop training and resources for state/territory EHDI systems and family-to-family support organizations to partner with organizations that serve the deaf and hard of hearing community. Support the establishment of Deaf Mentor programs for families with deaf or hard of hearing infants and children in all states/territories. Deaf Mentor programs should provide families regular opportunities with a Deaf Mentor, a qualified deaf or hard of hearing adult, to interact with their child using American Sign Language (ASL) and effective visual communication strategies, and to guide understanding of deafness and Deaf Culture. Deaf Mentor programs should also increase knowledge of national, state, and local resources for deaf and hard of hearing infants/children and their families. Quality Improvement The recipient is expected to: Conduct continuous development of quality improvement practices of the FL3 program. Quality improvement consists of systematic and continuous actions that lead to measurable improvement in health care services and the health status of targeted patient groups[3].

The drooling. The relentless chomping on a pacifier, and anything else within arm's reach. The inexplicable crying.
We suspected Ian was teething. Yesterday, while we were seeing Dr. Clark to check on an ear infection (he's over it), she noticed that his first tooth has made an appearance. It's a sharp little incisor on the lower right of his jaw.
This has been a momentous two days in young Ian's life. On Saturday, March 27, 2004, Ian had his half year birthday!!! We celebrated by going to Manna for lunch, where we bumped into friends Sheri and Nathan who were more than happy to hold Ian while we ate. Ian enjoyed the company (he's very social) and rewarded his new friends with big smiles.
Then, it was off to the women's softball game against the dreaded LSU Tigers. Although the Tide lost, we enjoyed the warm day. Ian, who was wiped out by a morning of playing, slept through most of the game.
Another great landmark in Ian's life this weekend–he rolled from his back to his belly. Our belly boy has been rolling from his belly to his back for weeks now, but this is the first time he rolled the other way. By today, Sunday, he was able to repeat the act with grace. He was playing on his stomach, then rolled to his back. He played that way for a while and then rolled back to his belly. Yea Ian!!!
And the next landmark of the weekend–this morning he ate some rice cereal for the first time. For a number of days now, he has been watching attentively when his parents eat, and even smacking his lips. Today, I mixed some rice cereal with milk to make a very liquidy gruel. Ian ate it right up! He also enjoyed holding the spoon and putting it in his mouth himself. He still needs some practice, but he'll be feeding himself in no time!!!
And thus begins our spring break. We're looking forward to taking long walks together, and maybe even taking an overnight trip toward the end of the week.
Ian attended his first college softball game yesterday–maybe his first sports event ever.

We presume that it'll be just the first of many mentions of Ian (class of '25?) in Brown publications.
