Gruen wrist watches
lves will pop up in Lakelands households later this month to help Santa know who's been naughty and who's been nice.The legend is part of 'Elf on the Shelf,' a holiday book and tradition by mother-daughter team Carol Aebersold and Chanda Bell.Aebersold and Bell wrote the book in 2004 based on their personal family tradition Aebersold began when her children were little. Each Christmas season -- around Thanksgiving -- Santa sends a scout elf to each home to watch over children's behavior. The scout elf earns magical powers once the household gives him a name of his own, and he reports to Santa each night.When the children awaken the next morning, the elf has moved and is observing them from a new location in the home.
As of March 2008, there are 31 actively broadcasting satellites in the GPS constellation. The additional satellites improve the precision of GPS receiver calculations by providing redundant measurements. With the increased number of satellites, the constellation was changed to a non-uniform arrangement. Such an arrangement was shown to improve the reliability and availability of the system, relative to a uniform system, when multiple satellites fail.
GPS receivers come in a variety of formats, from devices integrated into cars, phones, and watches, to dedicated devices. They can cost a few thousand rupees to lakhs, depending on the use.
In general, GPS receivers are composed of an antenna, tuned to the frequencies transmitted by the satellites, receiver-processors, and a highly stable clock (often a crystal oscillator). They may also include a display for providing location and speed information to the user.
A receiver is often described by its number of channels: this signifies how many satellites it can monitor simultaneously. Originally limited to four or five, this has progressively increased over the years so that, as of 2007, receivers typically have between 12 and 20 channels
