"WEIRDER THAN USUAL" 🎃🌴💜

Comic coming in 2024. AGE RATING: 15+

The final product will feature themes of abuse, trauma, mental illness, and inappropriate language-- [IE: Swearing]

In the current day and age, somewhere in Florida, never mind where & how long exactly, sits the hidden town of Hollow Heights.

It's not invisible or anything! Just one of those small towns nobody really cares about. People don't really come by unless they're lost tourists with shitty GPS. And there isn't really much to note? It's your standard Florida suburb where everyone knows everyone; full of questionable adults, birds, bugs, casually insane crime, and some pretty cheap-yet-decent houses!

...Oh, yeah. And a magical curse that turns everyone who lives there into MONSTERS!

No one is ever born this way; Pax, Robin, Clinton & Ozzie sure weren't! But despite their looks, all Monsters maintain human brains & minds. And they're actually... pretty normal! 4 outcast teenagers simply doing their best (on a good day) to survive this hell-hole.

No one knows how it started. Most people don't even care anymore. All that everyone around here knows is that that the curse only effects people living in Hollow Heights specifically; and that it's only a matter of time before it gets to YOU.

They've also noticed that Monster forms primarily reflect the individual; they're NOT determined by genetics! In fact, whenever you become a Monster, & develop the powers that come with, there are 3 things the curse seems to always keeps in mind.

Who YOU are.

The things you've gone through.

And how you handled them!

More specifically... they tend to manifest after exposure to trauma.

There is cruelty for all of us. While only 1 in 4 people suffer with a mental illness, I think it is fair to say that everybody faces trauma at least once in their lives. Be it a loss, injury, or being met with somebody who doesn't love you like they should. It is very easy for us to get stuck on these experiences. They can make permanent changes to who we are, to the point where we may not recognize ourselves in the mirror anymore. Scary, ain't it?

And that's it. That's "the curse." It makes for an experience where simply existing begins to feel... Weirder Than Usual. And whether we heal / move on or not is a choice that only we can make, and a process only we can begin.

And while the trauma that induced it never truly goes away, there IS a way to get rid of the curse; and it's not as crazy as you'd think!

You can only heal so much inside of a toxic environment like HH. So the solution is simple: Get out of there. Free yourself & live freely somewhere else; ANYWHERE else! But of course, that's easier said than done. Especially in a world where things like money, power, oppression, and "being a child" still exist.

One of the poor souls trapped here for now is Pax Manalo: a down-on-their-luck martian violinist with strict parents, telekinetic & semi-psychic powers, adorable heart antennae, and a VERY charming & freaky clown boyfriend who swept them off their feet. And for months now, Pax (being the isolated wallflower & hopeless romantic of a 14-year-old that they are) has been certain that Florian Funnyman was THE ONE.

...Until Valentine's Day came around, and Florian puts his girlfriend through the unthinkable. Something so horrible that it broke her heart, changed her life forever, and left Pax wondering if there'd even be a point in ever speaking about it again.

She doesn't want to get in trouble. She doesn't know if she wants HIM to get in trouble. She doesn't even know if anyone will believe her! Especially since Florian & his family have pretty damn high reputations around town. It's a small place, he's only a grade above her, she's friends with his brother, she doesn't have any other good friends--!! and Florian's been keeping a very watchful eye to make sure nobody ever speaks of it.

But as time goes on... Pax realizes that they can't just stay here in Hollow Heights, or dating a guy like him. And that they need help, a support system, to help them through this. And thus, Pax is left no choice but to reach out and connect with the other Monsters around them; and it doesn't take long before she finally meets some kindred spirits along the way.

Kindred spirits who are willing to help keep her safe; Kindred spirits who will support her as she tries to get her life back, learns to better advocate for herself, share their own sorrows with her as well as they face other hardships & all grow together, and stand by her no matter what.

As she finally finds her voice and speaks out about the true monster, and seeks all the justice she can get. 💞

Treading Lightly

Trying out @writeblrsummerfest‘s prompt with the haunted house theme! Sounds like fun, and I like the idea of having AI characters encountering the supernatural, I haven’t tried that concept before.

(Note: for the purposes of these characters, anything in [brackets] instead of quotations indicates dialogue transmitted silently via electronic communication instead of spoken aloud.

Under Pala’s cloak, the night made Coyote almost invisible. Its silhouette was perfectly black, and if it kept away from streetlights, it appeared only as a shadow slightly darker than its surroundings. It would be the same on infrared and radar—a splotch of unreflective nothingness, soaking up every stray photon.

Without the sun dumping heat into the cloak, there wasn’t much to worry about, but Coyote kept an eye on Pala’s temperature monitor anyway. It was a cool night, and the little drone was comfortable, its heat sinks barely warm. Its cluster of red eyes swiveled independently as they tracked motion in the dark: rabbits and squirrels hopping through the undergrowth, the occasional bat overhead.

Through the cable that connected them, Coyote felt the echoes of Pala’s mind. Each time it found an animal, it took a few seconds to pepper the creature with lidar pulses, building up a three-dimensional model to add to a growing wildlife database. Sometimes it took scans of the trees, bird nests, or pinecones. Its motive was simple curiosity; the data would have no tactical value.

Coyote smiled. It had to remind itself that up until now, Pala’s only experience of nature had been the Mojave desert. Time and luck permitting, Coyote wanted to let its companion absorb as much as possible, so it had taken over the task of navigation.

The place would be about a quarter mile up the road, if Coyote reckoned things correctly. It had done the calculations a few times over and cross-referenced them against its stolen paper map to be sure, but there was only so much precision it could count on with the satellite network turned against it. It had been weeks since the last orbital sensor sweep, but even so, Coyote didn’t dare try to connect to GPS. PRIONODE would be too clever to miss it.

[Hey. Is that it?] Pala said, all its eyes swiveling to focus on a spot just off the road. Coyote stopped, turned, and peered into the darkness. The place had come up so much sooner than expected that it had almost missed the turnoff.

There, past a hedge of uncut grass, thistles, and overgrown gardenia bushes, was 312 Lemon Tree Lane. The old house was built on an acre of land surrounded by a solid wall of pine forest, abandoned for so long that stray saplings were beginning to invade the front yard. Wooden planks, sagging with age, barely held the front porch together. Coyote crouched, nodding to Pala, and together they painted the building with active sensor pulses.

[Can’t get reliable returns through the windows,] said Pala. [Might as well be opaque.]

[Okay, so the interior’s a question mark until we get in there and look,] said Coyote. [Place is on the verge of collapse, too. One good windstorm and it’s coming down.]

[Did the records say anything about who owns it?]

[At this point? The county, maybe. Last inhabitants left over a decade ago. That’s about it. Anything on passives?]

[I’ve got…] said Pala, trailing off. It unfurled a set of antennae from its back, extending them through the boundary of the cloak, and waited for a few moments. [Yeah. There’s infrared and microwave-band emissions coming off the house, but—I can’t parse it out. Natural source, maybe?]

Along Coyote’s head, its sensory fins laid flat. [Where?]

[There’s not a specific origin point that I can see.]

[Okay,] said Coyote, standing up. [Here’s how we’ll play this. I want you to check the property. Look for a storage shed, basement entrance, or any derelict vehicles or appliances. Anything that runs on gas and has an alternator, we can pull a charge from. Sometimes old places like this will have emergency generators, that’s the best case scenario. If you find anything like that, tell me. Don’t go inside the house unless I say. Clear?]

[Got it,] said Pala. It began withdrawing its cloak, and Coyote felt hundreds of microbots skittering along its armor back to Pala’s chassis. [What are you going to do?]

[I’m going inside,] said Coyote. [I’ll check the interior, room by room.]

[You’re worried there’ll be someone in there?]

[Possibly. Could be homeless humans taking shelter here, kind of like us. Maybe other spirits. We won’t be a welcome sight, so I’ll try not to be seen. Don’t worry, the place is probably empty.]

[Okay. Be safe.]

[You too,] Coyote said. What it didn’t say was that EMD guns were apparently legal in the area, that people tended to be less shy about drawing and firing one, and it wasn’t sure if Pala’s light shielding would hold against a direct hit. Best to have it out of harm’s way.

As it approached the door, it activated the ultrasonics in its claws and sliced through the lock with a quick, silent cut. It turned and watched as Pala scuttled away into the overgrown lawn, resisting the urge to go back and regain sight of it. The little one would be fine on its own for a while.

Stepping through the door, Coyote armed its flechette gun, felt a round slide home into the barrel behind its palm.

Location Infrastructure: The Future of Logistics

Modern consumers seek things that are both reasonably priced and easily accessible at any time in today's globalized and connected culture. Supply chains must be dependable and robust for this.

The weakest connection in supply chains determines how robust the network is, and as recent years have shown, transportation is typically that weak link. Logistics is the more accessible and more effective transportation and management of a complicated activity. In business, logistics is the movement of goods from their origin to their final destination to satisfy the demands of clients or companies.

Some companies use drones for international courier services and ocean freight forwarding services. This will reduce the time it takes to deliver packages from days to hours. Therefore, businesses can deliver the value consumers want without blowing their budgets on transportation logistics or impeding the flow of commodities vital to the global economy.

Opportunity in India

One of the largest in the world in terms of logistics, India offers a substantial market opportunity. The industry, which includes transportation, warehousing, and other supply-chain solutions spanning from the suppliers to the end customers, logistics as an industry is essential for the nation's economic progress.

Society is evolving thanks to technology. The world is heading toward automation in a big way, and businesses are less and less interested in activities that need physical labour or human interaction.

Technology enhances interconnections between various industries and companies by meeting client requests and facilitating effective business tactics that increase revenue and lessen rivalry. The logistics sector has been significantly touched by technology.

Several technologies are altering the future of the logistics sector.

Automation

Automation enhances a machine's productivity by utilizing data from software to produce the best outcomes with high precision. Automation benefits everything from better package labelling to effective warehouse sorting systems and quick deliveries. Future leaders in logistics will be the companies that use automation first.

Systems for tracking shipments

Users can keep an eye on and track their shipments by using it. It offers customer account information on the consignment assigned to them, customized reports, and notifications for shipments and messages. These systems improve the user experience.

Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network where physical things are implanted with microchips and software to enable communication with other devices. The logistics sector has been utilizing IoT devices to gather data, lessen superfluous duties, and streamline processes.

Radio waves are used by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID to read data stored in RFID tags or smart labels. These radio waves assist in locating, identifying, and communicating with both people and objects.

An antenna, an RFID tag, and an RFID reader make up an RFID system. An integrated circuit and an antenna make up RFID tags, which transmit data to an RFID reader (also known as an interrogator).

The reader assists in converting the radio waves into more meaningful data. The operating systems get the information received from tags through a communication interface, which is then saved in a database and later processed for analysis.

Automated vehicles and drones

Drones could soon be used to deliver our orders thanks to technology. We can already see autonomous trucks on the road in the next few years.

GPS accuracy was improved

In the past, printed maps were utilized to navigate distant locations, but with the advancement of technology, today, cars come equipped with GPS. These gadgets' accuracy has dramatically improved over the years, which has helped disgruntled and lost drivers and the supply chain. By tracking the whereabouts of trucks and facilitating a simple route thanks to access to up-to-date traffic information, GPS's high precision enables higher production and delighted consumers.

Social media

The power of social media is enhancing operations and the logistics sector as a whole. These platforms are increasingly the simplest and most effective means for businesses to interact with customers and swiftly disseminate important information, market news, and client feedback.

Blockchain

Blockchain has a lot to offer the logistics sector. Automating the process, minimizing paperwork, and improving inventory transparency and traceability, enables businesses to operate more efficiently. Since all data is exchanged from the manufacturing site until it reaches the end user, supply chains are more secure.

Robotics

Like automated devices, robots are made to carry out human activities. It performs human movements and tasks and has a human appearance. The logistics sector can benefit from this feature. The logistics sector has found it challenging to meet market demand due to the massive growth of e-commerce, a problem that robotics has resolved. In addition to taking less time than people, it is also more productive.

Conclusion

The global supply chain's productivity has increased thanks to technology, which has also decreased expenses and errors. Transportation, international courier service transportation (by sea and air), supply chain management, and shipment tracking are examples of how the logistics industries have benefited. Many businesses offer solutions to the logistics sector to make their jobs easier. This company is making great future benefits for its clients.

The Impact of Antenna Shape on Performance

Antennas are the hidden heroes of modern communication networks, supporting everything from wireless internet to satellite communications. While many elements affect antenna effectiveness, one of the most important but often underestimated is antenna design. The geometry of an antenna influences not only its efficiency and frequency range, but also its directionality, bandwidth, and gain. This article examines how antenna shape affects performance and why it matters in a variety of applications.

How Antenna Shape Impacts Performance An antenna's geometry determines numerous crucial performance characteristics, including:

Radiation Pattern The radiation pattern describes how an antenna transmits energy into space. For example:

Dipole antennas are typically linear in design and provide an omnidirectional radiation pattern, making them excellent for applications that require consistent coverage.

Parabolic Antennas: Shaped like a dish, these antennas direct energy into a narrow beam, making them ideal for long-distance communication and radar.

Gain and Directivity. Antenna gain quantifies how efficiently it radiates energy in a certain direction when compared to an isotropic source. The shape of the antenna has a direct impact on this:

Horn antennas: Their flared design concentrates radiation in a single direction, increasing gain.

Yagi-Uda Antennas: The array of linear elements concentrates signals, increasing directivity for point-to-point communication.

Bandwidth Bandwidth refers to the range of frequencies that an antenna can successfully transmit or receive. Shape influences this via influencing the antenna's electrical length and resonance characteristics. For example:

Log-Periodic Antennas: Because of their tapered design, they give a wide bandwidth, making them ideal for applications such as television broadcasting.

Spiral antennas, which have a circular form and can accommodate a wide variety of frequencies, are commonly used in GPS and satellite communications.

Impedance Matching The shape influences the impedance of the antenna, which must match the linked system for best performance. For example:

Loop Antennas: Circular or rectangular loops have unique impedance characteristics that necessitate the use of matching networks for optimum operation.

Polarization The form of an antenna effects polarization, which is the orientation of electromagnetic waves. For example:

Helical Antennas: Their helical design generates circular polarization, which is widely employed in satellite communication to assure signal constancy regardless of orientation.

Popular Antenna Shapes and Applications

Linear (Dipole, Monopole)

Shape: A straight wire or rod. Applications include radio, television, and mobile communication. Performance: Provides omnidirectional radiation and a simple construction.

Parabolic (dish)

Shape: A curved, dish-like surface. Applications include satellite dishes, radar, and deep-space communication. Performance: Highly directional, with a large gain and a limited beamwidth.

Patch (Planar).

Shape: flat, rectangular, or circular. Applications include IoT devices, cellphones, and GPS systems. Performance: Compact, lightweight, and readily incorporated into devices, with a moderate increase.

Helical

Shape: spiral coil. Applications include spacecraft communication and satellite systems. Performance: Generates circular polarization with a wide bandwidth.

Fractal

Shape: self-similar, complex geometries. Applications include multiband communication and small wireless systems. Performance: Small size and ability to operate across several frequency bands.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Antenna Shape

Shape selection is determined by the application's priorities for coverage, range, or compactness.

Frequency Range: Spiral or fractal designs are good for wideband applications, whilst linear patterns are best for narrowband.

Space constraints: Planar shapes, like as patch antennas, are preferable in compact devices.

Outdoor applications frequently favor durable shapes such as parabolic dishes or strong helical patterns.

Advances in Antenna Design

Modern manufacturing methods, such as 3D printing and computational modeling, have transformed antenna design. These developments enable the design of complicated shapes such as fractals and conformal antennas, which can be easily integrated into automobiles, buildings, and wearable gadgets.

Conclusion An antenna's design is more than just an aesthetic option; it is also an important factor in determining its performance. From the simple design of a dipole to the complicated geometry of a fractal, each shape is designed to fulfill unique needs. Understanding and capitalizing on the impact of antenna form will remain critical to building efficient and dependable systems as technology advances and communication demands increase.

Engineers may ensure optimal performance by carefully selecting the right shape for a specific application, paving the door for innovation in industries ranging from telecommunications to aerospace.

The Power of Asset Tracking Systems: Enhancing Business Efficiency and Security

In a world where assets are constantly on the move and business operations are increasingly complex, managing and tracking assets has become more critical than ever. Companies rely on a variety of assets, from tools and equipment to vehicles and inventory, to keep their operations running smoothly. However, without the right tools to track these valuable resources, businesses are at risk of inefficiency, lost productivity, and even financial loss.

Enter the Asset Tracking System—a technology-driven solution that brings transparency, accountability, and efficiency to asset management. In this blog, we’ll explore how asset tracking systems work, their benefits, and why every business should consider implementing one to protect and optimize its assets.

What is an Asset Tracking System?

An asset tracking system is a set of tools and technologies designed to track the physical location, status, and condition of assets in real time. These systems can monitor a wide variety of assets, including equipment, vehicles, tools, inventory, and more. By using technologies like RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), GPS (Global Positioning System), barcodes, and IoT sensors, businesses can get precise, up-to-date data on the whereabouts and condition of their assets.

Unlike traditional manual tracking methods, such as spreadsheets or paper logs, modern asset tracking systems automate the process and provide instant access to crucial data, helping businesses make informed decisions, save time, and avoid costly mistakes.

Key Technologies That Drive Asset Tracking Systems

1. RFID Technology

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the most popular methods of asset tracking. RFID tags consist of a small chip and antenna that emit radio signals, allowing them to be scanned by RFID readers. These tags store data about the asset, such as serial numbers, maintenance schedules, or asset types, and can be read without direct line-of-sight. RFID systems are especially useful in environments where high volumes of assets need to be tracked, such as warehouses and hospitals.

2. GPS Tracking

GPS technology allows businesses to track the real-time location of mobile assets like delivery trucks, field service vehicles, or construction equipment. GPS-enabled tracking systems provide precise location data, enabling companies to optimize routes, monitor asset usage, and ensure that high-value items are not lost or stolen.

3. Barcodes and QR Codes

Barcodes and QR codes are inexpensive and easy-to-implement tracking solutions. Barcodes store data in a machine-readable format, and with a simple scanner or smartphone, users can retrieve information about the asset. While barcodes require a line of sight and are primarily used for stationary items, they offer a cost-effective solution for basic asset management needs.

4. IoT Sensors

The Internet of Things (IoT) takes asset tracking a step further by enabling assets to communicate data regarding their condition, temperature, humidity, and movement. For example, a temperature sensor on a cold storage unit can alert managers if the unit goes out of the required temperature range, helping prevent spoilage or damage to sensitive goods. IoT sensors are commonly used in industries like logistics, pharmaceuticals, and food storage.

How Asset Tracking Systems Work

At the heart of an asset tracking system lies the process of capturing and interpreting data from tagged assets. Here's a simplified overview of how these systems operate:

Asset Tagging Assets are tagged with RFID chips, GPS trackers, or barcodes. Each tag contains a unique identifier or data related to the asset, such as its serial number, usage history, or condition.

Data Collection As assets are used, moved, or stored, the tracking devices collect data, such as location, condition, and movement. For example, RFID readers or GPS devices scan the tags, and this data is sent to a central database or cloud platform.

Real-Time Monitoring The system continuously updates the status and location of assets in real time. Businesses can monitor the movement and usage of assets, receiving instant alerts if something is wrong (e.g., if an asset is outside a designated area or requires maintenance).

Data Storage and Reporting All collected data is stored securely in a database, where it can be analyzed for patterns, trends, and insights. Companies can generate reports on asset usage, maintenance needs, and lifecycle, enabling them to make informed decisions about resource allocation.

Benefits of Asset Tracking Systems

The advantages of implementing an asset tracking system are undeniable. Here’s how these systems can drive significant value for businesses:

1. Increased Operational Efficiency

Asset tracking systems save time by eliminating the need to manually search for or audit assets. Employees can easily locate and track the status of assets in real time, speeding up workflows and reducing downtime. In industries like construction, where multiple tools and pieces of equipment are used across various sites, asset tracking ensures that nothing is misplaced, helping teams stay on schedule.

2. Reduced Risk of Theft or Loss

With asset tracking, businesses can significantly reduce the risk of theft or loss. GPS tracking and RFID-enabled alerts notify businesses when assets leave designated areas or are moved without authorization. This feature helps prevent expensive assets, such as laptops or construction machinery, from going missing, improving overall security.

3. Proactive Maintenance Management

Knowing when an asset is due for maintenance is key to maximizing its lifespan and minimizing costly repairs. Asset tracking systems help companies schedule preventive maintenance based on usage patterns and operating hours, keeping equipment running smoothly and preventing unplanned breakdowns.

4. Data-Driven Decision Making

Asset tracking systems provide a wealth of data that can help companies make smarter decisions. Insights from tracking data can be used to determine the best times to purchase new equipment, when to replace outdated assets, and how to allocate resources efficiently. In addition, historical data allows businesses to track asset performance over time, helping them identify inefficiencies or opportunities for improvement.

5. Improved Compliance and Reporting

For businesses in highly regulated industries (such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, or manufacturing), asset tracking systems simplify compliance. By automating the tracking and reporting process, companies can ensure that assets are correctly maintained and accounted for. This makes it easier to comply with industry standards and pass audits.

Real-World Applications of Asset Tracking

The versatility of asset tracking systems makes them valuable in a variety of industries. Here are some examples of how different sectors are leveraging this technology:

1. Healthcare and Medical Equipment

Hospitals and medical facilities use asset tracking to manage expensive medical equipment, such as infusion pumps, wheelchairs, and diagnostic devices. RFID tags ensure that the equipment is easy to locate when needed, and real-time monitoring helps ensure that sensitive equipment is in optimal condition, reducing downtime and improving patient care.

2. Logistics and Supply Chain Management

In logistics, asset tracking is used to monitor shipping containers, vehicles, and inventory throughout the supply chain. GPS tracking ensures that shipments arrive on time, while RFID helps track inventory levels, reducing stockouts or overstocking. By optimizing the movement of goods, businesses can improve delivery efficiency and reduce operational costs.

3. Construction

Construction sites often involve a large number of tools, equipment, and machinery scattered across different locations. Asset tracking allows site managers to keep track of every item, ensuring that equipment is always accounted for and properly maintained. It also reduces the risk of theft, which is a common concern in the construction industry.

4. Retail and Inventory Management

Retailers use asset tracking to keep tabs on inventory levels, from backroom stock to shelves. Barcodes and RFID tags help streamline stock management by providing instant access to stock data, ensuring that stores maintain optimal stock levels without overstocking or running out of items.

Implementing an Asset Tracking System: What to Consider

While asset tracking systems offer significant benefits, businesses should consider the following steps when implementing a solution:

Define Asset Tracking Objectives Identify the assets you need to track and the specific goals you want to achieve. Are you focusing on mobile assets like vehicles or stationary assets like equipment? Having clear goals will help you choose the right system.

Choose the Right Technology Based on your needs, select the appropriate technology. Whether it's RFID, GPS, or IoT sensors, ensure that the system aligns with your business operations and asset requirements.

Integrate with Existing Systems Integrate the asset tracking system with other software tools you’re already using, such as inventory management systems or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. This integration ensures that all asset data is centralized for easy access and analysis.

Train Your Team Ensure that employees are trained on how to use the asset tracking system effectively. Training helps optimize the system’s use and ensures that employees can take full advantage of its features.

Conclusion: Unlocking the Value of Your Assets

In today’s competitive business environment, staying organized and efficient is key to success. Asset tracking systems provide businesses with the tools to not only keep track of their assets but also enhance their overall productivity, security, and decision-making capabilities.

By adopting an asset tracking system, businesses can gain greater control over their assets, reduce costs, improve asset lifespan, and ensure that operations run smoothly. Whether you’re in healthcare, construction, logistics, or retail, the right asset tracking solution can unlock significant value and help your business thrive in an increasingly asset-driven world.

Reblogging to add Kiwi terms (Locked Tomb fic writers take some fucking notes).

New Zealanders get enough American and British TV that we usually understand your terms (and use some of them) but a) it's hard to predict whether we'll have settled on US or UK for any given thing and b) we have our own terms for a lot of things.

Gas - petrol or diesel, you say you're going to 'fill the car' or 'get some petrol'. 'Gas up the [thing]' means something different and would be silly to say about a vehicle.

Gas station - petrol station, regardless of whether it's staffed or not. Still called a petrol station if it only has diesel. In that vein -

Truckstops are very often JUST a petrol station that only has diesel, we don't have the long-haul trucking like the US or even UK, so truckstops don't support life.

Truckstops on highways that have a McDonalds or a cafe or bakery and toilets attached are service stations.

License plate - number plate

Diner - bakery. Yes we have bakeries that mainly do baked goods, but we also have 'bakeries' (one chain is called Bakehouse Cafe but nobody calls it 'a cafe') that you can get prepared food from a cabinet or a large, cheap, simple hot meal from. Also usually have really good frappes.

Fast food - takeaways. Fast food places where you're expected or allowed to eat in are rare and getting rarer.

Motel - we have motels and hotels and the distinction is that in a motel your room opens directly into the carpark, and in a hotel it opens into a hallway.

Oh yeah, parking lot - carpark.

Cab - taxi. We do NOT have black or yellow cabs. Most taxis are white Toyota Priuses.

Cop - we use cop or police officer interchangeably. Police cars used to be white Holden Commodores and are now white, red, or blue Skoda hatchbacks.

SWAT - Armed Offenders Squad, AOS. These are the only police that regularly carry firearms, and it's a big deal when they get called out. Normal police cars just have a shotgun locked in the boot and have to justify (after the fact) taking it out.

Yes yes car trunk - boot, car hood - bonnet.

Antenna - aerial

Fall (season) - autumn.

Bill - banknote or cash. We have polymer notes, not as brightly coloured as Australians, but pretty loud. Notes are $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. Cash machines usually only give $20 or $50. I've seen a $100 exactly twice in my life, both times at bureaux du change. Coins are 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, and $2. Unlike Britain, ours are all round.

So ATM - ATM is comprehensible but usually cash machine or money machine.

Drug store - chemist or pharmacy. You call it a chemist if what you're getting requires you to speak to the pharmacist, and a pharmacy if it doesn't. You cannot usually get food and drink at these places.

Optometrist - optometrist, but it's more common to just use the name of the chain, OPSM, Specsavers, &c.

Primary care physician - GP. You will see a GP and not a paediatrician even as a small child. Paediatricians are specialists for problems that are related to your being a child.

Paediatrician - old people use the ae spelling (see also, encyclopaedia), young people generally don't. Part of this is because of autocorrect. Colour always has a u in it.

Social security number - don't have. You'll have an NHI number for medical stuff, but most people don't know theirs, and an IRD number for financial stuff. We don't have a mandatory national identity scheme. It's possible but unlikely to reach adulthood without having any kind of ID or national identification number.

Liquor store - liquor store. They pretty much only sell alcohol. You can buy beer and wine and some low-strength RTDs in supermarkets but you have to go to a liquor store for anything stronger.

Store - shop

Thrift store (UK calls it charity shop) - op shop. (Short for opportunity)

Target/Walmart - supermarkets sell food and a very small selection of overpriced home goods. The supermarkets are (in ascending order of fanciness) Pak N Save, Four Square, Countdown (now reverted to Woolworths), and New World. For Target type general 'stuff' it's The Warehouse (wags call it Te Warewhare) or Kmart (Australian Kmart). Farmers is mainly a clothing and nice home goods shop. Briscoes is a home goods shop and it absolutely always has a sale on. Hardware shops are Bunnings and Mitre 10. None of these shops contains a Starbucks.

Superstore - don't have.

Shopping cart - shopping trolley

Yard sale - garage sale. Car boot sale exists but is something different.

Attorney - lawyer. Barristers represent you in court if you REALLY fucked up. Solicitors do non-court legal stuff, and can also represent you in court (many solicitors are also barristers). Barristers who are not solicitors work the same as UK ones.

Janitor - caretaker. Caretakers do not usually have cleaning responsibilities. That would be a cleaner.

Fries - chips. Helpfully, we also call the crispy fried potato food that US calls chips and UK calls crisps, 'chips'. We also call tortilla chips chips. See also ghost chips.

Intersection - still an intersection

Highway - we have state highways which vary in size from a six-lane motorway down to a two-lane country road. It's sometimes possible to tell when you've left the state highway and sometimes not. We don't have interstates. 'Expressway' has a distinct meaning, but most people don't know what it is.

Overpass - overpass

Turnpike - toll road (very rare, I think there are like 3)

Windshield - windscreen

Truck (like large cargo truck, Mack or similar) - truck BUT

Truck (small pickup truck, Ford Ranger) - UTE.

Sedan, blowout - see UK

Sidewalk - footpath. Always alongside a road. Note the different meaning to UK 'footpath', which is not necessarily along the side of a road for cars. Our word for that is a 'walkway'.

Subway - don't have any

Drapes - curtains

Pacifier - dummy

Diaper - nappy. Pull-ups exist but are not nappies.

Baby crib - cot. Babies may also be placed in bassinets, which is a basket you can fit a baby in, carry around if needed, use in isolation, or place inside a cot to help stop the baby rolling about.

Baby carriage - pram or pushchair. We do not observe the fine distinctions the Brits do here.

Trash/garbage - rubbish. It goes in a rubbish bag, which goes in a rubbish bin and is collected by a rubbish man driving a rubbish truck. Very simple. It then goes to a waste transfer station and then to a landfill, both of which may be called a 'rubbish dump' or just dump.

Mail is mail, which is handled by New Zealand Post. Parcels may be handled by a courier (Aramex or NZ Couriers). We do not meaningfully have FedEx. Mail is placed in the mailbox by a postie.

Movie - anything goes. The place is a movie theater or cinema, and the art form is a movie or film.

Floor numbers - the one on ground level is the ground floor, and the one above that is first, then second and so on. In Wellington there are lots of hills and thus lots of buildings with at least one entrance on a floor that is not the ground floor. Residential buildings do not often have more than two floors so this is a nicety mainly reserved for commercial buildings.

Sneakers are sneakers

Baggage is luggage or just bags, but at airports luggage is carried on a baggage trolley and collected from baggage claim.

A purse refers only to a small bag for putting coins in. It goes in a handbag, usually referred to as just a bag. Most of your money goes in a wallet.

A vacuum cleaner is a vacuum cleaner unless you're in Southland in which case it's a Lux. (Short for Electrolux, popular brand). You vacuum or lux the carpet. It's only a hoover if the actual brand of the device in question is hoover.

Sweater is a jumper or jersey. Sweatshirt is a kind of jumper.

Schools - School is mandatory from your fifth birthday unless you have an exemption (homeschoolers are the main user group for exemptions). You might go to kindergarten or playgroup or daycare before that, but they're more for childcare and socialization than education. You start school at Year 1. You go to intermediate when you're about 11, in year 6 or 7. That might be part of your primary school, part of the high school, or another school altogether. At the end of intermediate, you go to high school. High school is year 9 to year 13. You can leave at year 11 if you want to. In year 11 you do NCEA 1, in year 12 NCEA 2, and in year 13 NCEA 3. You can sometimes get into university without NCEA 3 but it's best to have it.

College is a fancy name for a high school.

Community College - polytech. You get a diploma. You might be able to get limited kinds of degrees.

University - University. Most of our undergraduate degrees are 3 years because we don't have Gen Ed requirements, you spend the whole time on your main subject. Professional degrees like law and engineering have an extra year called an honours year.

Semester - Semester.

Vacation - holiday

Flashlight - torch

Mr Rogers, educational TV for small children - Suzy Cato, program Suzy's World.

Wrench - we have pipe wrenches which tend to be more on the grippy side, and spanners which can be adjustable but you can't grip things with them.

Backyard is back garden. The less deliberate gardening has been done, the more likely it is to be called a yard.

Cookies are biscuits. Biscuits are scones. American 'scones' are a travesty.

Dude/guy (generic person) - fulla, bloke, cobber (old men say cobber)

John Doe - Joe Bloggs. Never used formally. Unknown corpses are 'remains of a person unknown'.

Cell phone is a cell phone, BUT cell data is mobile data BUT the towers are cell phone towers

Bathroom/restroom - toilet, loo, dunny. 'The facilities' is a commonly understood polite euphemism. Wharepaku will also be understood. Whareiti, although more common in signage now, will not.

Thanks - cheers, ta

Y'all - youse. Maaori has some handy plural pronouns and they would generally be understood if not widely used.

Hiking - tramping.

Memorial Day - we have ANZAC Day, April 25, which remembers the Gallipoli landings (a disaster), and has grown to include all other conflicts. We do not generally make as much fuss of veterans as Americans, and thanking a soldier for their service would be HILARIOUS.

We do not have Thanksgiving, at all.

Christmas is in summer.

Independence Day - we have Waitangi Day, February 6, which remembers the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi which is generally considered the founding of the country.

We do have Christmas, New Year, and Easter as holidays. We do not have weird 'war on Christmas' types like in the US.

Assorted slang and adopted Te Reo Maaori

The wop wops - back of beyond, middle of nowhere

Kia ora - this is not slang, this is just Maaori. It means hello. Generally understand.

Ke te pehea koe? - also Maaori. 'How are you?' Slightly less understood. People under 40 will pronounce it like Suzy Cato does.

Tena koutou katoa - formal 'hello everyone' for speeches. Generally understood but often pronounced like 'tin of cocoa car door' which is wrong. Most people will understand that if you actually SAY 'tin of cocoa car door' you are making a joke.

We don't say Sheila anymore.

Bring a plate - this is a potluck and you are expected to bring a plate OF FOOD TO SHARE.

Tucker, kai - food

Pipi, tuatua, kina, paua, koura - these are shellfish.

Southern Man - shorthand for a particular kind of masculinity, taken from the Speights Ale advertising character of the same name.

Eketahuna - this is a real place but it's used as an example backwater town. Someone saying they went to Eketahuna probably went to a town LIKE Eketahuna but not Eketahuna itself.

Pissed - depending on context, can mean drunk, angry, or urination. Always check the context.

Flat white - this was us, not Australia. We do have really good coffee.

Pavlova - this was also us, not Australia. Large marshmallow/meringue cake, usually served with whipped cream and sliced kiwifruit on top. Revolting.

Australia - when you're IN Australia or New Zealand, Aussies are arrogant and abrasive and generally the worst. When you're NOT, Aussies are basically from home and your best mate.

OE - Overseas Experience. About 20% of our population is overseas at any given moment. A significant proportion of New Zealanders have passports and have traveled extensively and lived overseas.

Whittakers - we also have really good chocolate.

Almost everything that has a European name also has a Maaori name and you can often use them interchangeably.

Goodnight Kiwi - after the little cartoon sequence that used to play at the end of each night's TV programming. Now mainly used figuratively, e.g. 'she walloped him over the head and it was goodnight kiwi'.

Number 8 wire - common fencing wire gauge, generally very useful. Used to refer to how New Zealanders were so remote we got used to doing stuff for ourselves and making do. Now mainly used by politicians wanting to recall that (e.g. number 8 wire mentality) but it's a lot less prevalent than it used to be.

American to English translation for fic

So I read and write fanfic, as do lots of others, and I've noticed that when it comes to British shows or movies, Americanisms or American terms crop up often. It's mostly because most don't know we have specific terms for things in the UK, and I've seen references here and there before, but I've decided to write one of my own. Feel free to add to it tho! I'm gonna put it up on Ao3 too and any additions, I'll reference the tumblr and link them on Ao3 too.

Anyway, here we go I guess.

Some Americanisms to English-isms

Gas = fuel/petrol/diesel (we tend to specify the type of fuel the vehicle uses, diesel vehicle or petrol vehicle for example)

Gas station = petrol/fuel station

Gas court = petrol/fuel court, or sometimes forecourt (not often with this one tho)

License plate = registration plate/reg

Diner = cafe

Fast-food = takeaway (this is sort of interchangeable. McDonald's is called fast food, a meal from a pizza place that delivers is takeaway)

Motel = hotel

Side-note: We tend to use specific named hotel chains like Premier Inn (or Prem-Inn for short) or Holiday Inn or Travelodge. We also have Britannia Hotels and several others. If the fic is based in a specific place, local hotels or famous ones may be better options. For example, in Liverpool, we have The Shankly or Adelphi.

Cab = taxi or black hac for a specific type of taxi.

Side-note: These are what you see in BBC Sherlock, for example, and are a UK staple. They're less popular or common-place nowadays but there are dedicated taxi companies that use them. There's on in my town that operates until 4pm each day. They are also usually more expensive than a car taxi but they have oodles of space and you can have a pram/buggy kept upright rather than folded-down in them which is brilliant.

Cop = police officer

Side note: more informal, colloquial terms include "copper", "the fuzz", "tit-head" (because of the nipple hat okay, just look up the hat, it's hilarious), "bobby", "rozzer" (pronounced r-o-z-er not Row-zer), and "the bill" (there's an actual show called this btw. It can be a good reference for anyone writing crime fic in UK). There's more but those are the most common. Older terms do include "peelers" and "old bill".

Second side-note: the police have a whole host of terms, colloquial and slang that can be a great thing to include in fic, which I'll link a glossary of here. It's not all UK centric but cross-country policing is a thing so that may just be a boon imho. Also the short-hand acroynmns used are useful so here's a link to the Metropolitan Police glossary of those too!

Patrolman = constable or police constable

Antenna = aerial or TV aerial

Fall (season) = autumn

Bill = banknote or specifically "tenner", "fiver", "twenny" (not "twenty"). We don't have single banknotes like a dollar bill. We have pound coins

Dimes, nickels, etc = pound coin, two-pound coin, fifty-pence, penny, two-pence, five-pence, ten-pence, twenty-pence (link here about the coin currency)

Drug store = chemist or pharmacy

Optometrist = optician

Primary care physician = GP (general practitioner) here's a link about UK medical terms for doctors etc

Side-note: here's a link about medical terminologies etc between American and UK

Social security number = national insurance number

Liquor store = off-license or, specifically, Bargain Booze™

Liquor = spirits (usually)

Store = shop

Target, Walmart, etc = honestly, it's probably gonna be Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, ALDI or Lidl

Superstore = supermarket

Shopping cart = shopping trolley or just "trolley"

Yard-sale = car-boot/car-bootie/car-boot sale

Attorney = barrister or solicitor (solicitors you go to for legal help, barristers tend to be involved in actual court matters, like a the Crown Prosecution Service), here's a link that explains it better

Janitor = caretaker

French-fries = chips (although McDonald's French-fries are just that, French-fries)

Hood of a car = bonnet or car bonnet

Truck = lorry

Sedan = saloon car

Blowout = puncture or flat tyre

Sidewalk = path

Subway = underground (like the London Underground)

Drapes = curtains (though we do use "drapes" we tend to say "curtains" more)

Pacifier = dummy or "dodo" or "dodi"

Diaper = nappie or a pull-up (if its like underwear for toddlers)

Baby crib = baby cot (though we do use "crib", we tend to say "cot" more)

Baby carriage/pushchair/stroller = pram or buggy (more specific type tho, here's a link about the differences)

Trash/garbage can = bin, dustbin, rubbish bin

Garbage/trash collector = binman/binmen

Mail = post

Mailman = postman

Mailbox = postbox

The movies = cinema or pictures

Movie = film (less common nowadays with influence of Americanisms but I still use "film" and a lot of people my age and older do too (25+)

First floor = ground floor okay, it's the ground floor because it's on ground level

Sneakers = unless they're Converse, it's probably just "trainers"

Baggage = luggage

Purse (as in the bag) = handbag, or "purse" but that tends to be the thing you put your money and cards in then put in your handbag

Vacuum cleaner = hoover or a specific brand like Henry Hoover™, which you'll find we tend to just call Henry (though I have a John Lewis hoover I got from George, ASDA that I've named 'George' and yes, I do say "I need to use George in a bit to hoover" regularly)

Sweater = jumper or, if it buttons up it's a cardigan or cardi

Closet = wardrobe

Elevator = lift

Call collect = reverse charges

Schools = we have primary/infants (11yrs)and secondary/high school (11-16yo) with some high schools have sixth-form college (16-18yo) or actual independent colleges for the same ages

Communication & Navigation version, SGPS for Space GPS, has dual parabolic antennas and is omnidirectional on all sides except ionic block

And I have to say that I am quite proud of the progress that we have achieved together, and that is all of us, mankind has a future in space that is there for the taking, none of this would have been possible without everyone's combined efforts and contributions

SGPS builds up on the existing GPS platform, to provide for a global positioning system in space, these satellites also enable telecommunications in space

SGPS satellites are positioned along hexagonal vertexes, quite simply they can communicate on 5 different horizontal angles, but also vertically, above and below where they are positioned

And so all put together, within workable distances, they do constitute a navigation & communications backbone that is also a high capacity high density grid, as they relay signals to one another, and even to several other nodes at the same time

We should too mention 5G and 6G platforms, the very thought of bringing high speed internet to space is not a fancy, but very much the same network we cannot do without here, and that future colonies and spaceships have to be able to rely on

Aside from the quasi unlimited range of functionalities that the internet provides us it has the same essential function of bringing us together, here and in space

Need I add that the simple idea of being able to hold video calls with relatives on a distant colony is a game changer for the disposition that we may or may not have to settle in another system

HEXIRON nodes, you are looking at them, they could be trillions in the future, for ours is a vast encompassing project

And we begin to catch a glimpse of how vast it is, when we understand that the community of people that sustain HEXIRON as a network, workers, technicians, engineers, should in itself number in the billions

Understanding ADS-B LNA: Enhancing Aircraft Surveillance with Low Noise Amplifiers for Better Signal Clarity

Aircraft surveillance has undergone significant technological advancements over the years, with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) being one of the most notable. ADS-B allows aircraft to broadcast their position, velocity, and other critical data to ground stations and other aircraft. This system has revolutionized air traffic management by providing more accurate and real-time information compared to traditional radar systems. However, for ADS-B systems to function optimally, they require specific components, one of which is the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA). Understanding the role of ADS-B LNA is crucial for those interested in aviation technology.

What is ADS-B?

Before diving into the details of ADS-B LNA, it’s essential to understand what ADS-B is and how it works. ADS-B is a surveillance technology that relies on aircraft broadcasting their GPS-derived position and other data to ground stations and other aircraft. This system improves the safety and efficiency of air traffic control by providing precise and real-time information. Unlike traditional radar, which requires ground stations to actively track aircraft, ADS-B allows aircraft to passively share their position, reducing the reliance on radar and enhancing coverage, especially in remote areas, antenna preamplifier.

The Importance of ADS-B LNA

One of the critical components of an ADS-B system is the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA). The LNA is a device that amplifies weak signals received by the ADS-B receiver while minimizing the amount of noise added to the signal. In simple terms, it ensures that the ADS-B receiver can pick up signals from aircraft that are far away or have weak transmissions without being drowned out by background noise.

The primary function of the ADS-B LNA is to boost the incoming signal strength without significantly increasing the noise level. This is crucial because ADS-B signals, transmitted on the 1090 MHz frequency, can be quite weak, especially over long distances. Without an LNA, these weak signals might be lost or degraded to the point where they are no longer useful for surveillance purposes.

How ADS-B LNA Enhances Performance

The inclusion of an LNA in an ADS-B system has several benefits:

Extended Range: By amplifying weak signals, an LNA allows ADS-B receivers to detect aircraft at greater distances, improving coverage and situational awareness, especially in areas where ground-based radar coverage is limited.

Improved Signal Clarity: The LNA enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, which means the ADS-B receiver can distinguish between the actual aircraft signal and background noise. This results in clearer and more accurate data for air traffic controllers.

Better Performance in Challenging Environments: In environments with significant interference or obstacles, an ADS-B LNA can help mitigate these challenges by boosting the desired signal above the noise level.

Cost-Effective Solution: Implementing an LNA in an ADS-B system is a cost-effective way to enhance performance without the need for more complex and expensive solutions.

Choosing the Right ADS-B LNA

When selecting an ADS-B LNA, several factors should be considered, such as gain, noise figure, and power consumption. The gain of the LNA determines how much the signal is amplified, while the noise figure indicates how much noise the LNA introduces to the signal. Ideally, a high-gain, low-noise figure LNA is preferred for ADS-B applications. Additionally, the LNA should be energy efficient to minimize power consumption, especially in installations where power is limited.

Conclusion

ADS-B LNA plays a critical role in enhancing the performance of ADS-B systems by amplifying weak signals and reducing noise. This allows for improved aircraft detection, better coverage, and enhanced air traffic management. As ADS-B continues to be a key technology in modern aviation, the importance of choosing the right LNA cannot be overstated. Whether for commercial aviation or hobbyist applications, understanding the benefits and selection criteria of ADS-B LNA is essential for optimizing aircraft surveillance systems.
