The Starchild Trilogy The Starchild Trilogy Frederik Pohl The Reefs of Space(1964) Starchild(1965) Rogue Star(1969) Baen (March 1, 1986) ISBN-10: 0671655582 ISBN-13: 978-0671655587 THE REEFS OF SPACE The major snapped: "Check in, you Risks! What's the matter with you?" His radar horns made him look like Satan—a sleepy young Satan with an underslung jaw, but dangerous. "Yes, sir," said Steve Ryeland, peering around. This was Reykjavik—a new world to Ryeland, who had just come from a maximum-security labor camp inside the rim of the Arctic Circle. Ryeland blinked at the buildings, a thousand feet high, and at the jets and rockets scattered 'across the air field. The little man next to Ryeland sneezed and nudged him. "All right," Ryeland said, and went into the bare little Security lounge. On the teletype that stood in the corner of the room—hi the corner of every room— he tapped out: Information. Steven Ryeland, Risk, AWC-38440, and O. B. Oporto, Risk, XYZ- 99942, arrived at— He took the code letters from the identification plate on the machine 1—Station 3-Radius 4-261, Reykjavik, Iceland. Query. What are personal orders? In a moment the answer came from the Planning Machine, a single typed letter "R." The Machine had received and understood the message and adjusted its records. The orders would follow. A Togetherness-girl glanced into the lounge, saw the collars on Ryeland and the little man. Her lips had started to curve in the smile of her trade, but they clamped into a thin line. Risks. She nodded to the major and turned away. The teletype bell rang, and the Machine tapped out: Action. Proceed to Train 667, Track 6, Compartment 93. Ryeland acknowledged the message. The major, leaning over his shoulder, grinned. "A one-way ticket to the Body Bank if you want my guess." "Yes, sir." Ryeland was not going to get into a discussion. He couldn't win. No Risk could win an argument with a man who wore the major's radar horns. "Well, get going," the major grumbled. "Oh, and Rye-land—" "Yes, sir?" The major winked. "Thanks for the chess games. I'll be seeing you, I guess. Parts of you!" He laughed raucously as he strode away. "No side trips, remember," he warned. "I'll remember," said Steve Ryeland softly, touching the collar he wore. Oporto sneezed again. "Come on," he grumbled. "All right What was that number?" The little dark man grinned. 'Train 667, Track 6, Compartment 93. That's an easy one— ahchoo! Dafabit," he complained, "I'm catching cold. Let's get out of this draft." Ryeland led off. They walked unescorted across the pavement to a cab rank and got in. AH around them, travelers, air field workers and others glanced at them, saw the iron collars—and at once, on each face a curtain descended. No one spoke to them. Ryeland punched the code number for their destination, and the car raced through broad boulevards to a huge marble structure on the other side of the city. Over its wide entrance were the carved letters: THE PLAN OF MAN SUBTRAIN STATION They made their way through a wide concourse, noisy and crowded; but everyone gave them plenty of room. Ryeland grinned sourly to himself. No side trips! Of course not— and for the same reason. It wasn't healthy for a man who wore the collar to step out of line. And it wasn't healthy for anyone else to be in his immediate neighborhood if he did. 'Track Six, was it?** 'Train 667, Compartment 93. Can't you remember anything?" Oporto demanded. "There's Track Six." Ryeland led the way. Track Six was a freight platform. They went down a flight of motionless moving stairs and emerged beside the cradle track of the subtrains. Since the subtrains spanned the world, there was no clue as to where they were going. From Iceland they could be going to Canada, to Brazil, even to South Africa; the monstrous atomic drills of the Plan had burrowed perfectly straight shafts from everywhere to everywhere. The subtrains rocketed through air-exhausted tunnels, swung between hoops of electrostatic force. Without friction, their speed compared with the velocity of interplanetary travel. "Where is it?" Oporto grumbled, looking around. A harsh light flooded the grimy platforms, glittering on the huge aluminum balloons that lay in their cradles outside the vacuum locks. Men with trucks and cranes were loading a long row of freightspheres in th_ platform next to theirs; a little cluster of passengers began to appear down the moving stairs of a platform a hundred yards away. Oporto said abruptly: "I'll give you six to five the next train in is ours." "No bet." Ryeland knew better than to take him up. But he hoped the little man was right. It was cold on the platform. Chill air roared around them from the ventilators; Oporto, already chilled, sneezed and began to sniffle. Ryeland himself was shivering in his thin maximum-security denims. At the camp, when their travel orders came through, regulations demanded a thorough medical examination before they left. That was the rule under the Plan, and 3 the examination included a steaming shower. "They want nice clean meat at the Body Bank," the guard guffawed; but Ryeland paid no attention. He couldn't afford to. A man who wore the iron collar around his neck could only afford a limited look into the future. He could think about the day when the collar came off, and nothing else. A warning horn shrieked into the pit. Ryeland jumped; Oporto turned more slowly, as though he had been expecting it. Which he had. Red signals flickered from the enormous gates of the vacuum lock on Track Six. Air valves gasped. The gates swung slowly open and a tractor emerged towing a cradle with the special car they were waiting for. "You would have lost," Oporto commented and Ryeland nodded; of course he would have. The car stopped. Equalizer valves snorted again, and then its tall door flopped out from the top, forming a ramp to the platform. Escalators began to crawl along it. Oporto said anxiously: "Steve, I don't like the looks of this!" Out of the opening door of the car two men in uniform came running. They ran up the escalators, raced onto the platform and up the stairs. They didn't look at Ryeland or Oporto; they were in a hurry. They were bearing thick leather dispatch cases the same color as their uniforms. Bright blue uniforms! Why, that was the uniform of the special guard of— Ryeland lifted his eyes to look, unbelieving. At the roof of the shed, amid the ugly web of ducts and pipes and cables, a brilliant light burst forth, shining down on the sphere. And across its top, forty feet above the platform, there was a gleaming blue star and under it, etched in crystalline white, the legend: THE PLAN OF MAN OFFICE OF THE PLANNER The special car they had been waiting for was the private car of the Planner himself! The first thought that crossed Steve Ryeland's mind was: Now I can present my case to the Planner! But the second thought canceled it. The Planner, like every other human on Earth or the planets, was only an instrument of the Planning Machine. If clearance ever came to Ryeland— if the collar came off his neck—it would be because the 4 Machine had considered all the evidence and reached a proper decision. Human argument would not affect it. With an effort, Ryeland put the thought out of his mind; but all the same, he couldn't help feeling a touch better, a degree stronger. At least it was almost certain that their destination would not be the Body Bank! "What was that compartment number?" Oporto sighed. "93. Can't you remember anything? Train 667—the product of the two primes, 23 and 29. Track 6, their difference. Compartment 93, then- last digits hi reverse order. That's an easy one—" But Ryeland was hardly listening. The intimate acquaintance that Oporto seemed to have with all numbers was no longer news to him, and he had more urgent things on his mind. He led the way up the ramp and into the Planner's subtrain car. A woman in the blue uniform of the guard passed them, glanced at their collars and frowned. Before Ryeland could speak to her she had brushed past them busily and was gone. It said a lot for the efficiency of the collars, he thought wryly, that she didn't bother to find out what two Risks were doing wandering freely around the Planner's private car. There was no cause for worry; if they took a wrong turning, the collars would make it their last. But by the same token, it was highly dangerous for them to wander around. Ryeland stopped short and waited until someone else came by. "Sir!" he called. "Excuse me!" It was a straight, gray-haired man in the blue of the Planner's guard, wearing the silver mushrooms of a Techni-corps colonel ."What is it?" he demanded impatiently. "We're ordered to compartment 93," Ryeland explained. The colonel looked at him thoughtfully, "Name," he snapped. "Ryeland, Steven. And Oporto." "Umm." Presently the colonel sighed. "All right," he said grouchily. "Can't have you messing up the Planner's car with your blood. Better get secured. This way." He led them to a tiny room, ushered them in.

  • Aaron Lee Tasjan Karma for Cheap Most People Know Aaron Lee Tasjan As One of the Wittiest, Most Offbeat, Brilliant, Weed- Smokin
    Aaron Lee Tasjan Karma for Cheap Most people know Aaron Lee Tasjan as one of the wittiest, most offbeat, brilliant, weed- smokin’ & LSD microdosin’ Americana troubadours writing and singing songs today. And the New York Times, NPR and Rolling Stone will all gladly corroborate. But steel yourselves, folk fans, because he’s about to follow his restless muse straight out from under the weight of everyone’s expectations into the kind of glammy, jingle-jangle power-pop- and- psych-tinged sounds he hasn’t dabbled in since his younger days playing lead guitar for a late-period incarnation of The New York Dolls. Really, the roots of Tasjan’s new record, Karma for Cheap, stretch even deeper, drinking up the sounds of a Southern California childhood spent listening to The Beatles while riding around with his mom at the wheel of their navy blue Volvo station wagon— back to the very first pre-teen year he picked up a six-string and started figuring out all the pretty little chords in those Lennon-McCartney tunes. Back to the pure, blissful unfiltered innocence of falling in love with music for the first time. But more on that later. First, let’s ponder the brutish realities of the American Swamp. Aaron Lee Tasjan says he aims to use his music for good, but he’s no protest singer. And Karma for Cheap isn’t some heavy-handed, didactic political record cramming a set of talking points down anyone’s throat. It’s a finely tuned rock & roll seismograph measuring the dark and uncertain vibrations of the time in which it was created.

This v.per discusses how to use songs about the Vietnam War as an instr,.ctional tool to investigate the role of songs during the War and to serve as a stimulus tc study the controversies surrounding the War. Students are challenged to investigate the various perspectives presented these songs and to examine devices utilized within lyrics to support the views they present.

  • Digital Audio
    Digital Audio Prior to the advent of computers, sound recordings were made using exclusively analog systems, where the instantaneous signal amplitude was continuously conveyed by a voltage we could measure at any time. With computers using binary arithmetic, signals must be encoded from continuous analog representations into discrete digital measurements that can be stored as binary number streams, describing the signal amplitude at specific times. We therefore know the amplitude only at the times we make the conversion to digital measurements, referred to as samples. If we sample frequently enough, the information we store is fully adequate to describe the signal accurately even though we have periods of time in which the signal is not sampled. Motion pictures work similarly: we perceive continuous movement even though the displayed frames are only occurring 24 times a second. There are numerous potential shortcomings in the process of converting continuous analog voltages to sampled discrete binary measurements and these will determine the quality of sound reproduction we are able to deliver with digital audio technologies. The initial and potentially most important aspect of digital audio is the conversion from analog to digital signal representation. Any error created at this stage will persist throughout the recording and playback process. Early analog-to-digital (A/D) converters had serious limitations that reduced the quality of the sound reproduced, giving digital audio a bad reputation among audiophiles. In the intervening years, most of the limitations have been corrected and modern digital recorders are greatly improved. We will investigate the improvements from the simplest digital audio systems to the newest digital technologies.

  • Historical Development of Magnetic Recording and Tape Recorder 3 Masanori Kimizuka
    Historical Development of Magnetic Recording and Tape Recorder 3 Masanori Kimizuka ■ Abstract The history of sound recording started with the "Phonograph," the machine invented by Thomas Edison in the USA in 1877. Following that invention, Oberlin Smith, an American engineer, announced his idea for magnetic recording in 1888. Ten years later, Valdemar Poulsen, a Danish telephone engineer, invented the world's frst magnetic recorder, called the "Telegraphone," in 1898. The Telegraphone used thin metal wire as the recording material. Though wire recorders like the Telegraphone did not become popular, research on magnetic recording continued all over the world, and a new type of recorder that used tape coated with magnetic powder instead of metal wire as the recording material was invented in the 1920's. The real archetype of the modern tape recorder, the "Magnetophone," which was developed in Germany in the mid-1930's, was based on this recorder.After World War II, the USA conducted extensive research on the technology of the requisitioned Magnetophone and subsequently developed a modern professional tape recorder. Since the functionality of this tape recorder was superior to that of the conventional disc recorder, several broadcast stations immediately introduced new machines to their radio broadcasting operations. The tape recorder was soon introduced to the consumer market also, which led to a very rapid increase in the number of machines produced. In Japan, Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, which eventually changed its name to Sony, started investigating magnetic recording technology after the end of the war and soon developed their original magnetic tape and recorder. In 1950 they released the frst Japanese tape recorder.
