Specialty Definition: Jam

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Jam is a type of fruit preserve: it is a way of preserving fruit by boiling it with sugar.

The proportions vary according to the type of fruit and its ripeness, but a rough starting point is equal weights of each. When the mixture reaches a temperature of 104°C, the acid and the pectin in the fruit react with the sugar, and the jam will set on cooling, but most cooks work by trial and error, bringing the mixture to a "fast rolling boil", watching to see if the seething mass changes texture, and dropping tiny samples on a plate to see if they run. How easily a jam sets depends on the pectin content of the fruit. Some fruits, such as gooseberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, appless and raspberries, set very well; others, such as strawberries and ripe blackberries, need to have pectin added. There are proprietary pectin products on the market, and most industrially-produced jams use them. Home jam-makers sometimes rely on adding a pectin-rich fruit to a poor setter; hence the popular old favourite blackberry and apple. Other tricks include extracting juice from redcurrants or gooseberries. Making jam at home used to be common, but the practice is declining, and the accessories, particularly the cellophane covers for jam jars, are getting hard to find in some locations.

Jam is often used on bread, and also in yogurt to sweeten it.

See also marmelade.

In rock and roll music, a jam is an extended period of instrumentation, generally occurring more often in live shows than studio recordings. Some bands are known for being "jam bands", and frequently perform jams (or "jam sessions") in concert and/or in the studio.

See List of jam bands

A jam can also refer to a situation where movement or options are limited. e.g. a traffic jam. e.g. "The book was jammed between two adjoining shelves and could not be removed easily."

There is also a band called The Jam.

Jamming

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Jamming is an electronic warfare (EW) technique to limit the effectiveness of an opponents communications and/or detection equipment.

Radio Jamming

Communications jamming is usually aimed at radio signals to disrupt control of a battle. A transmitter, tuned to the same frequency as the opponents receiving equipment and with the same type of modulation, can with enough power override any signal at the receiver. The most common types of this form of signal jamming are: Random Noise; Random Pulse; Stepped Tones; Wobbler; Random Keyed Modulated CW; Tone; Rotary; Pulse; Spark; Recorded Sounds; Gulls; and Sweep-through. All of these can be divided into two groups - obvious and subtle.

Obvious jamming is easy to detect as it can be heard on the receiving equipment, it is some type of noise such as stepped tones (bagpipes), random-keyed code, pulses, erratically warbling tones, and recorded sounds. The purpose of this type of jamming is to block out reception of transmitted signals and to cause a nuisance to the receiving operator.

Subtle jamming is that during which no sound is heard on the receiving equipment. The radio does not receive incoming signals yet everything seems superficially normal to the operator. These are often techical attacks on modern equipment, such as 'SQUELCH capture'.

Radar Jamming

Radar jamming is the intentional emmission of radio frequency signals to interfere with the operation of a radar by saturating its receiver with false information. There are two types of radar jamming - noise jamming and deception jamming.

A noise jamming system is designed to delay or deny target detection. Noise jamming attempts to mask the presence of targets by substantially adding to the level of thermal noise received by the radar. Noise jamming usually employs high power signals tuned to the same frequency of the radar. The most common techniques include barrage, spot, swept spot, cover pulse, and modulated noise jamming. Noise jamming is usually employed by stand-off jamming (SOJ) assets or escort jamming assets.

Deception jamming systems (also called repeat jammers) are designed to offer false information to a radar to deny specific information on either bearing, range, velocity, or a combination of these. A deception jammer receives the radar signal, modifies it and retransmits the altered signal back to the radar.

Initially, the challenge was simple - tune in to the fixed frequencies of the radar, and then start jamming on those frequencies. However, as radars became more sophisticated they used irregular noise superimposed on the radar signal to cloak it, and the signals were broken up into short bursts, and the frequencies used were changed rapidly and constantly.

Radar jamming for the purposes of defeating speed detection radar is simpler than for military application, although it is often illegal.

E-mail Jamming

E-mail jamming is used by some civil rights activists to thwart government spy networks such as Echelon. Activists deliberately include "sensitive" words and phrases in otherwise innocuous emails to ensure that these are picked up by the monitoring systems. The theory is that the senders of these emails will eventually be added to a "harmless" list and their emails no longer intercepted, thus allowing them to regain some privacy.

E-mail jamming has become increasingly popular in the UK since the introduction of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act by Jack Straw and its extension by David Blunkett.

Jamming was the name of a late 1970s to early 1980s UK music fanzine edited by Tony Fletcher.

Jamming (or jam session) is also a term used to refer to an informal, semi-improvised performance by a group of rock or jazz musicians.

In rock climbing, Jamming refers to a set of climbing moves that involve wedging a body part into a crack.

Culture Jamming, or sniggling, is the act of using existing mass media to comment on those very media themselves, using the original medium's communication method.

The Jam

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Jam was an early British punk band primarily active in the late 1970s. The band originally consisted of Bruce Foxton, Steve Brookes, Rick Buckler, and Paul Weller.

After forming the Jam in 1975 and 1976, Brookes left the band, who soon began playing around the London, England area. In 1977, the Jam signed a contract with Polydor Records and released "In the City", a moderate hit. This was followed by the band's debut album, In the City. The sound was early punk with strong mod influences, with Weller compositions and R&B covers. After another successful single, "All Around the World", the Jam toured the country and recorded This is the Modern World (1977); the titular track was a minor hit and the band left to tour the United States. The tour was a disaster. The next tour, in Britain, ended when the band brawled with some rugby players in Leeds. Weller was charged with assault, though he would eventually be acquitted. In 1978, the band left for another American tour, opening for Blue Öyster Cult.

The Jam was unable to gain a significant audience in the US, though they were rapidly becoming superstars in their homeland, especially after performing at the Reading Festival in 1978. All Mod Cons (1979) is usually considered the band's magnum opus, as well as the first album with truly great songwriting from Paul Weller. The album was a major success in the UK, as was Setting Sons (1979), which also charted in the US, a first for the band (it reached #137 in 1980).

Sound Affects, the Jam's fifth album, was a major success, as was the single "Start", which entered the charts at #1. While recording the follow-up, Weller had a nervous breakdown; he quit drinking. The Gift (1982) was another successful album, reaching #1 in the UK, and showing the band moving towards an exploration of American soul and R&B. Paul Weller broke up the group at the height of their popularity in 1982. The band's sixteen singles were re-released in 1983, and all sixteen re-charted simultaneously. Rick Buckler played with Time UK and Bruce Foxton released a solo effort, Touch Sensitive. Both went on to write autobiographies that severely criticized Weller, who had formed the Style Council with Mick Talbot, but the band was not as successful as The Jam. He began a solo career in the 1990s and has been quite successful.

In the spring of 1956, Monk, Elmo Hope, and I went to Central Park after staying up all night playing at a jam session. While I rowed them around the lake in a rented paddle boat, I received my education in what to look for inmusic and life. 'Listen,' Monk said to Elmo, 'we're moving through the waterin 4/4 time and the birds are singing 6/8 to it.' I stopped rowing and listened; I've been listening ever since.
