One of the great things about the Psion computers is how easily they can be programmed.
This can be done on the Psion machine itself (using the built-in OPL editor) or by using a PC-based software development kit (SDK), software development environment (SDE) or Psion 'emulator'.
Check out the SIBO Emulators page for details about the Psion Series 3, Series 3a, Siena and WorkAbout emulators. These run the SIBO O/S under an MS-DOS environment (not a Windows Shell to DOS) and allow you to test, run or develop SIBO software.
There is a neat trick that increases the screen size of the emulator to 480 x 640 pixels, which allows you to see more lines of code in the OPL Editor.
Go to the SIBO Emulators page.
What is OPL?
OPL is a BASIC-like language which is fairly simple to learn. It is a structured, not object-oriented, language. OPL stands for Organiser Programming Language.
The term 'OPL16' is used to denote the version of OPL for the SIBO (16-bit) Psion machines. The term 'OPL32' is used to denote the EPOC/Symbian 32-bit version of the OPL programming language. Much of the OPL language is the same for both OPL16 and OPL32. Leigh Edwards describes the differences in his book "Programming Psion Computers".
Types of OPL
Psion produces two type of machines:
There are currently at least 5 variants of the OPL language:
One advantage of programming in OPL is that you can take your programming with you, on your Psion machine; you are not tied to developing on a PC. Adrian Collister, for example, programmed his Mah Jong for EPOC application entirely on a Psion handheld.
How do I learn OPL?
The OPL manual, downloadable below, is an excellent starting place to learn OPL. I thoroughly recommend that you download the PDF version and print it, if you are able, and keep it on hand as a book resource.
Programming Psion Computers
Another excellent resource for the OPL programmer is Leigh Edwards' book "Programming Psion Computers".
This is now available as a free download (2.8 MB, PDF) from EMCC's website .
OPL Manual downloads
The OPL Manual is available for free download in a number of formats (all downloads are zipped):
OPL Manual by chapter
The OPL Manual from Psion is also available in PDF format arranged by chapter. This version is dated 1997 and covers programming the Siena, Series 3 and Series 5 machines, though no doubt much will also apply to the Workabout, Revo, Series 7 and NetPad.
View: You will require Adobe Acrobat (Reader) 4.0+, or the newer Adobe Reader (which is free) installed in order to view these files in your browser, and indeed on your computer!
Download: The whole manual can be downloaded as one zipped file (see above).
Clicking each link, below, will open the file in your browser if you have an Acrobat plug-in.
To simply download each chapter, right-click a link below and select "Save Target As..." to download them without opening them in your browser.
OPL Manual on-line
The OPL Manual is no longer available on-line (in HTML format)
OPL16 Tutorials
There are a number of great resources online, as well as the OPL Manuals (above) and Edward Leigh's "Programming Psion Computers" book, which will give you an in-depth look at programming in OPL16.
Advanced Programming
Development Kits and Environments
This comprises two A4 folders, the Psion OPL software environment, and ODE (a Windows-based OPL Development Environment).
This Software Development Kit costs £120 and possibly may still be available from John Hill Computer Services Ltd. on 01226 206575, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
The OPL Development Environment (a Windows-based OPL application)
can also be obtained separately.
The SIBO Emulators are useful tools for writing OPL applications. They only run under MS-DOS (not a Windows Shell to DOS) and with a cunning tweak the display can be increased to 480 x 640 pixels. The PC keyboard is obviously easier to type on than the smaller Psion one.
OPL Code Studio (497KB Zip) is aWindows-based text editor that allows you to also compile code to APP or OPO format.
Another Windows-based editor is OPLEditor 2 from Mitdata.com. This is now freeware, and unsupported, although it has a very unfinished feel to it.
OPLEditor is a programming editor for the OPL16 / 32 language, that allows you to edit, transfer and translate an OPL program in a standard PC and transfer it directly to a SIBO (Siena, Series 3) or EPOC (Revo, Series 5) device.
S3aTran is a command-line MS-DOS
application from Psion that allows you to specify a source file and
have S3aTran translate it into a SIBO application.

Free Solar Panels for Your Home
You could save up to £400 per year on electricity with free solar panels installation from Solvis!
If your residential property is deemed suitable then Solvis Energy Solutions will install and operate a solar system on your roof absolutely free of charge. The fund who allow Solvis Energy Solutions to offer free installations to homeowners will maintain the system and carry out all future maintenance work if required.
You, the customer, can use all of the energy the solar PV system generates, thus benefiting from lower electricity bills and you will never pay us anything! This will help protect you against the ever rising energy costs over the next 25 years.
We'll set your residential property up with absolutely everything needed to benefit from solar electricity generation and lower utility bills! In order to qualify for the free solar panels installation:
- You must have a south facing pitched roof in good condition.
- Your roof must be un-shaded.
- You must have loft/attic space to house the inverter.
- You must have a minimum roof space of 26sqm
- You must have RCD protected electrics.
- Your property must be a one or two storey building.
If you would like to find out how much money you could save and whether your home is suitable simply fill in your details here.
How Does the Free Solar Panels for Homes Scheme Work?
Solvis will install and operate a solar PV system on your roof. This will generate electricity for your home, thus lowering your electricity bills. You'll notice no difference – your shower will be just as hot, your lights just as bright! The only difference is that with a proportion of your electricity being generated through solar PV panels, your bills will be lower. The fund who allow Solvis Energy Solutions to offer free installations to homeowners will maintain the system and carry out all future maintenance work if required.
How do we know if the system has stopped working?
There are no moving parts involved in a Solar PV system. The technology has been designed by suppliers and by the industry to be maintenance free. There should be very little maintenance required over the full 25 year term of the agreement. The systems are remotely monitored by performance data analysts. Each system is fitted with a SIM card which allows analysts to assess the systems without needing to re-enter your home at any stage. Should there be any technical or performance related issues regarding the systems the analysts and consequently our technical teams will know before you do. It is in the best interest of the investment fund to ensure the panels and system is fully operational at its highest efficiency for every single day of the 25 year term. This thought process is highlighted by the fact that the system performance is directly associated to the financial return for the investors. If the system is underperforming for whatever reason then the investment fund are losing valuable revenue. It is in their best interest to monitor systems performance and ensure the systems integrity is maintained. This reality will ensure that YOU the customer are protected at all times and that the system will continue to assist reducing your reliance on the national grid for at least 25 years whilst you continue to enjoy the significant savings.
Who Owns the Solar Panels?
Through our free solar panels installation scheme, the fund remains the owner of the solar panels. But the electricity they generate is used by you, meaning you benefit from the reduced electricity bills. Solvis Energy Solutions project manages the installation on behalf of the investment fund.
Who Maintains the Solar Panels?
Solvis Energy Solutions are responsible for the physical installation of the solar PV system. The investment fund will maintain the solar panels for 25 years. You will have no responsibility to maintain the panels. As the owners of the panels, it is in the funds best interest to ensure the system is fully maintained and operational for the full 25 year term in order to guarantee and protect their return on investment.
What If I Sell My House?
The solar panels will remain in place even if you sell your house. In fact, they could even enhance the value of your house, given that it will then be the new owners who benefit from lower electricity bills.
Can I Benefit from the Feed-In Tariff?
The Government Feed-In Tariff is a generous incentive that pays per unit of electricity generated by a solar PV system connected to the grid. With our free solar panels installation scheme, the Feed-In Tariff payments are made to and are the property of the investment fund. Solvis benefits from the installation charges paid by the investment fund to Solvis for the installation of the PV system. The Feed in Tariff is paid exclusively to the investors.
However, if you decide to invest in your own solar panel installation, as opposed to receiving a free system, then the panels will be your property, the Feed-in Tariff payments will be made to YOU and you'll also benefit from lower electricity bills as well!
If you would like more information either about free solar panels installation or about purchasing your own system, get in touch today.
If you are interested in commercial solar panels or paying for solar panel installation instead and benefiting from the Feed in Tariff, then please visit Solar Choice

Two technologies that purport to address this demand are Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB) and Structural Insulated Panels (SIP). CEBs, a form of earthen masonry, can be a cost-effective, locally produced material that provides high thermal capacity with low environmental impact. There is increasing interest in using the blocks in cold climates. However, CEBs are limited by manufacturing controls and susceptibility to water damage. In this study, various combinations of cement and lime stabilizers were tested with metakaolin, a pozzolan, and Plasticure, a water repellent, to determine the compressive strength when CEBs are dry and fully saturated at unconditioned and freeze-thaw conditioned states. Results showed that the most beneficial additive for improving wet-state capacity was Plasticure. Blocks manufactured with 10% cement and Plasticure yielded the best performance, with a dry unconfined strength of 10.23±0.81 MPa and an 11.6% reduction in strength when wet. When exposed to freeze-thaw cycling, Plasticure reduced variability in strength reduction from 90.9% to 23.5%, and increased strength retention by up to 74.7%. SIPs are becoming increasingly popular because of their light weight, ease and speed of installation, and high thermal insulation capabilities; however, conventional systems are unsustainable due to their reliance on synthetic fibres and petroleum-based resins. This study focused on the short- and long-term performances of Flax Fibre Reinforced Polymer (Flax-FRP) and compared it to Glass-FRP. Then it assessed the replacement of conventional Glass-FRP skins with skins made of Flax-FRP and a resin blend containing epoxidized pine oil. Results showed that Flax-FRP had a tensile strength and modulus of one third the values of Glass-FRP. Using the Arrhenius relationship, it was estimated that Flax-FRP would retain 60% of its tensile strength after 100 years of saltwater exposure at an annual mean temperature of 10°C. Sandwich panels with three layers of flax fibres provided equivalent strength and stiffness, but better deformability, than panels with one layer of glass fibres. Epoxidized pine oil-based skins decreased strength by up to 23% compared to epoxy-based skins.

The study has the following three objectives: 1- to assert the existence of HCS's in a deep open-channel flow and establish their characteristic times and lengths; 2- to penetrate the dynamics of the life cycle of HCS's in such a flow; and 3- to gain insight into why the bed forms known as alternate bars disappear in such flows, even though meandering can still occur. The study is intended as an extension of previous work carried out at Queen's University and focusing on a shallow, alternate bar inducing flow. For the present purposes, six series of flow velocity measurements were carried out in a 21 m long, 1 m wide straight channel, conveying a 0.14 m deep flow. The bed surface consisted of a silica sand having an average grain size of 2 mm; its surface was flat. The bed slope was such that the bed shear stress was substantially below the threshold for the initiation of motion. The measurements were carried out with the aid of 16 MHz 2D Son Tek Micro-ADV's. The presence of HCS's affecting (or occupying) the entire body of fluid was unambiguously revealed by the present measurements. The average horizontal burst length and period of the measured flow were found to be equal to 5.5 m. The results of a quadrant analysis of the joint behaviour of the longitudinal and transversal components of fluctuating velocity, and the analysis of the plan distribution of planar Reynolds shear stress show that these structures originate at the upper layers of the flow. This study further demonstrates that some form of upstream discontinuity is able to regularize the plan configuration of the HCS's, so as induce the internal meandering of the flow. The HCS's were found to be of a rather diffuse nature towards the lower layers of flow, which likely explains why they are not able to produce alternate bars.

The consequences can be increased when a fire event in the water distribution system coincides with a trunk water main failure event. Currently, municipalities have limited knowledge on the consequences associated with the failure of trunk water mains, as it has only recently emerged as an area of concern as water main assets reach or exceed their expected service life. Consequence modelling can provide municipalities with information to help with emergency planning and rehabilitation/replacement planning. The aim of this thesis is to present a new methodology to characterize the consequences of trunk water main failures in water distribution systems. A new consequence index equation is used to calculate the severity of a failure event. A number of metrics were developed to characterize a range of consequences to the system and water users. A focus is placed on the hydraulic changes during water main failures and the ensuing consequences. The model examines failure during normal, peak and fire flow conditions in the network. Two case studies were completed by applying the consequence model to the D-Town and City of Kingston water distribution systems. The purpose of these studies is to demonstrate the effectiveness of consequence modelling and provide the City of Kingston with information regarding trunk water main failures in their system, and thus help prevent high consequence events. An investigation of the relationship between pipe properties (location, pipe diameter, pipe length, proximity to large components) and consequence severity provided insight into trunk water main failure events. The results of these studies suggest that the location of the trunk water main failure is the largest contributing factors to the severity of consequence.

These pipes are now reaching the end of their expected service lives and are becoming a concern to water utilities. Large-diameter water mains (defined as water mains with a diameter greater than 500 mm (20")) are particularly important because of they can entail severe consequences when they fail. A physical model is presented to estimate the time-dependent factor of safety and probability of failure of large-diameter cast-iron water mains. Failure is assumed to occur by longitudinal cracking caused by tensile hoop stress and a reduction in the strength of the pipe due to corrosion pitting. Six sources of loading are considered in the model, including: earth load, live load, frost load, internal water pressure, and the curvature caused by the live load. The model is used in a two-part sensitivity analysis to determine the influence of each input of the model outputs. The first part of the analysis is a one-way deterministic sensitivity analysis of all 28 input variables. This identified six variables as having a high impact: the pipe wall thickness, the pitting depth scaling constant, the corrosion rate inhibition factor, the fracture toughness, the constant S in the residual tensile strength calculation, and the pipe diameter. The second part is a stochastic sensitivity analysis to further investigate the sensitivity of the model to those variables identified in the deterministic analysis. The mean factor of safety and probability of failure were determined to be sensitive to the pipe wall thickness, corrosion rate, and the constants used to calculate the residual tensile strength, but were relatively insensitive to the diameter of the pipe. A case study of the City of Hamilton water distribution system was performed to characterize the failure of 20 large-diameter cast-iron water mains. Due to the uncertainty in the accuracy of the model, the pipes were assigned ranks relative to each other rather than an absolute probability of failure. The diameter, burial depth and soil type were all determined to have an effect on the ranking of each pipe.

Thanks for all your help in advance.
Does any one know where I can send a care package from for my hubby who is currently serving time in a texas prison?
Any ideas as to what I can and cannot send him?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
in texas you cant send care packages . you can send books and magazines from a approved book store and paper and envelopes from like office depo. or staples .. nothing else hygene products and food have to be bought from comassary
Well, you personally cannot send him anything but letters, pictures & post cards. From the General Information Guide For Families & Friends, page 1:
"Items such as food, clothing, jewelry and toiletries may not be mailed to offenders. Individuals may not mail packages to offenders."
The guide has a lot of good stuff in it. Very informative:
What you CAN send him are books, magazines, newspaper subscriptions, writing tablets, crossword puzzles, etc. but they must be mailed from a commercial business. You order them and pay for them, and you give them your loved one's mailing address, and they send it for you.
Such as....Books: Amazon.com, texasprisonbookstore.com, Borders Books, etc
Writing materials: Office Depot, Rosie's Graphics, etc.
We've sent books to our daughter from both Amazon.com & Borders.
For writing supplies we use Rosie's Graphics. She's right here in Texas, and EVERYTHING in her product offering is approved by TDCJ. She sends the order out the next day, prices are reasonable, and she prints the name & TDCJ # on each envelope for free. And that's a time saver for your loved one, as for every envelope they receive they have to print their name & TDCJ # on it.
Texas Prison Bookstore has a lot of good stuff they can send as well, although we've never used them:
"Diplomacy is the art of letting someone have your way."
ok thank you all for your help

Nvidia Tegra 4 based devices will start getting announced this quarter
Nvidia obviously wants to change that and to do so it has long ago introduced its extremely graphics intensive Tegra 4 chip. Good news is it will finally announce new devices with the chip this quarter.
"Outside of phones, where we see these new computing devices becoming like entry-level PCs, performance matters," Nvidia chief executive Jen-Hsun Huang said.
One device we already know will come with the new Tegra 4 is the Project Shield gaming console. HP has also announced a couple of tablets and all-in-ones, and ZTE and Toshiba have also committed to the platform. The Tegra 4 takes pride in its quad-core Cortex A15 setup with a whopping 72 graphics cores. The graphical performance should definitely be console like and unlike anything we've seen on tablets so far.
Nvidia is also preparing a mainstream version of its chip, the Tegra 4i. Devices with the Tegra 4i should start arriving in the second half of 2013. This is a quad-core Cortex A9-based architecture with a fifth battery saving core and 60 custom GPU cores. As a bonus with it, you get an integrated i500 LTE modem.

The trouble with graphics-intensive chips at this stage in the Android world... We still need to have enough useful apps and games that would make full use of that hardware potential for us to be able to SEE the difference!! If i get a Tegra 4 device and i compare it to my friend's Tegra 3 device... Basically, i do not expect to see any major improvements unless the app/game has been optimized for Tegra 4 or requires CPU/GPU power that the Tegra 3 can't already provide. It's that simple!

Nvidia has always been over-promising and under-delivering
They're not as good as they think they are, otherwise Asus, HTC, Moto , LG and other minor players have been bulk ordering their Tegra 4 since day 1.
This what happens when you screwed up, and they done it badly with the Tegra 3
7. ajac09 (Posts: 1367; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
yeah tegra 3 was so bad the nexus 7 and transformer line didnt sell at all (rolls eyes). Tegra 4 they arent bulk ordering because google really wants everyone to use the same processor.. aka the qualcom. They've been pushing for similar hardware for awhile now. Nvdia really needs to send some money googles ways so they will promote it like they do with the qualcom.
5. FlushGordon (unregistered)
Well, I don't think ZTE and Toshiba could even sell 300,000 units combined. Poor Nvidia.

Do you know the real reason we go to the movies? It's for the insane makeover scenes. There's nothing better than watching a character transform into a complete fashion plate. Some of the most famous include Tai from Clueless, Laney from She's All That and, of course, Andy from The Devil Wears Prada. Andy and her adventures have been a topic of conversation among our new interns this week—they expected Lucky to be kind of like Runway. Spoiler alert: it's not. But we thought it reason enough to take a look back and channel some of the film's absurdly good style.

First Hole in One
my first hole in one
Fred Lloyd
1st for me
It Went In
My first hole in one
Bucket List 1
Posted: June 30, 2012
In was on the sixteenth hole, 169 yards at Eagles Nest in Goshen,Ohio.I lined up with the hole and made an easy swing with my Perfect Club and the NXT flew straight landing at the front of the green. I saw the ball roll toward the pin but I couldn't see the base of the pin or the hole. When I approached the green I though I had rolled off the back. When I didn't see the ball anywhere, I thought well you could look in the hole. There it was, my ball with the Titleist name facing up. I was amazed! After nearly 20 years of play and several close to the cup shots, it had happened. I took a picture with my ipod but the shadow obscured the name. I
Just hit my second hole in one! Happened two days ago same hole same club same type ball same pin placement same buddy in cart only it been about five years ago that I hit the first one. Happened at Eldorado Hills Golf Club in Norfolk Nebraska on the 155 yard par 3 12th. A titleist 8 iron was club of choice titleist prov1x ball and Corey Privett was witness. What an awesome feeling.
Just a casual skins game at Providence Munincipal Golf Course in Kentucky. I think I got them on hole 15 with my hole in one.
Posted: June 29, 2012
Our ladies league plays on Monday evenings and i was in a foursome with Jane Farthing Jane Webb and Libbie Wilson. i got a yardage with my range finder, pulled out my 54 degree wedge and decided i needed to change clubs. i changed to a pw and hit the shot 102 yds the ball took one bounce and dissapeared.. it was awesome i will never forget it.
I play with a bunch of guys whom we call the 3 dollar, 3 hour bunch! On hole #13 on the South Course in Cherokee Village, I used a 5 iron to hit about 195 yards. I thought the ball had a pretty good chance to go in but we didn't actually see it until we got to the green! There was a lot of excitement as we pulled the ball out of the hole! It is more fun to make a hole in one but it is also fun to witness one! Jim Haney

Why I liked this title:
This is a wonderful story about Danny, a great basketball player, whose only problem when it comes to the game he loves is his size. He's usually the smallest player on the court. However, the story is so much more than basketball. It's about friendship, especially between Danny and his best friends Will and Tess. It's also a great family book based on a wonderful relationship between Danny and his mother Ali and the growing relationship between Will and his father Ritchie. This is a perfect book for a family to read together and discuss. I give it two thumbs up!!!!
This title is also available on compact disc. and downloadable audiobook for Skokie Public Library cardholders
Reviewed by: Ron Oberman on 1/13/2009
More than anything else, Danny loves to play basketball; and he is crushed when he fails to make the seventh grade travel team supposedly because he is too short. But Danny's failure to make the team may be more related to the bad blood between the coach of the travel team and Danny's father, Richie. A former NBA star, Richie led his travel team to a national championship when he was 12 years old. Divorced from Danny's mother and often unreliable, Richie returns to town and decides to try to support his son by forming his own travel team. Richie builds a team out of a group of misfits with a lot of heart who gradually learn to dominate the court. The action culminates in a dramatic showdown between two rival teams. This is much more than the usual sports story and it will be enjoyed even by those who aren't basketball fans. The author grabs the reader by creating a story about family, about friendship, and about the kind of character it takes to really be part of a team.

I remember the story of a couple who I met on the train one rainy evening. Now, I remember this particular story because their experience was very unique and slightly sad. They had a bad experience when they were planning to grow their family of two to three but ended us duped with a medically incorrect way of how to conceive a boy. The couple had always envisioned having a boy and then a girl in that order. They went around looking for techniques to be able to conceive a boy but ended in wrong hands while doing so.
There's was a case where the enthusiasm took over the logic and they did not correctly the pros and cons.
There are many medically proven techniques available but here is a piece of advice to all of couples who are trying something similar for themselves, the medical techniques need to be based on medical data and need to be verified by your gynecologist. I am not deterring you from personal research but before taking any drastic step, it is a better idea to consult a medical expert. If you want to avoid the risks altogether, go for natural ways or simply rely on the days that you are ovulating to get the desired results.

The man some describe as an Iranian nuclear scientist, Shahram Amiri, has left the US.
The man had vanished over a year ago. Then he had suddenly reappeared with two completely contradictory stories about the events of his past year, triggering a propaganda war between the US and Iran.
The case has once again thrown sharp focus on the debate about Iran's nuclear capabilities, and the extent to which some intelligence agencies could go to find out more about them. Just what lies behind the case of Shahram Amiri? And could it cast some light on whether or not Iran is developing a nuclear weapon? Inside Story, with presenter Mike Hanna, discusses with Ray McGovern, a former analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Mark Fitzpatrick, the director of the Non-Proliferation Programme in the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), Seyed Mohammad Marandi, the head of North American Studies at Tehran University.This episode of Inside Story aired from Wednesday, July 14, 2010.

In the present work, we demonstrated a new method of graphene films transferring applying a marker-frame instead of polymer-like films as a support. This method is an alternative that is much faster, cheaper and freely available to all. Our technique guarantees cleaner graphene surface and no polymer residues on it. Consequently, it significantly increases the applicability of graphene. For instance, one can think of using graphene as a component of nanocomposites or coupling it with other nanomaterials. As an example we showed graphene films suspended on GaN nanowires. The characterization of the properties of graphene transferred following the enhanced frame method was performed by Raman spectroscopy, as well as by carrying out SEM imaging and conducting TEM investigations.
Visualization of intracellular organelles is achieved using a newly developed high throughput imaging cytometry system. This system interrogates the microfluidic channel using a sheet of light rather than the existing point-based scanning techniques. The advantages of the developed system are many, including, single-shot scanning of specimens flowing through the microfluidic channel at flow rate ranging from micro- to nano- lit./min. Moreover, this opens-up in-vivo imaging of sub-cellular structures and simultaneous cell counting in an imaging cytometry system. We recorded a maximum count of 2400 cells/min at a flow-rate of 700 nl/min, and simultaneous visualization of fluorescently-labeled mitochondrial network in HeLa cells during flow. The developed imaging cytometry system may find immediate application in biotechnology, fluorescence microscopy and nano-medicine.
In this paper, KdV-Burger-Kuramoto equation involving instability, dissipation, and dispersion parameters is solved numerically. The numerical solution for the fractional order KdV-Burger-Kuramoto (KBK) equation has been presented using two-dimensional Legendre wavelet method. The approximate solutions of nonlinear fractional KBK equation thus obtained by Legendre wavelet method are compared with the exact solutions. The present scheme is very simple, effective and convenient for obtaining numerical solution of the KBK equation.
Magneto-dielectric effects in self-assembled core-shell nanoparticles of nickel ferrite (NFO) and barium titanate (BTO) have been investigated in the millimeter wave frequencies. The core-shell nano-composites were synthesized by coating 100 nm nickel ferrite and 50 nm barium titanate nanoparticles with complementary coupling groups and allowing them to self-assemble in the presence of a catalyst forming heterogeneous nanocomposites. Magneto-electric (ME) characterization of as-assembled particles has been carried out by measurements of the relative permittivity ɛr as a function of frequency f under an applied static magnetic field H over 16–24 GHz. Measurements show an H-induced decrease in ɛr of 1 to 1.5%. But a giant magneto-dielectric effect with an H-induced change in permittivity as high as 28% is measured under dielectric resonance in the samples. A strong ME coupling was also evident from H-tuning of dielectric resonance in the composites. A theory for the high frequency magneto-dielectric effect has been developed and consists of the following steps. First the Bruggeman model is used to estimate the effective dielectric constant for the shell consisting of the BTO particles and voids considered as spherical air-pores. Then the permittivity for the core and shell is estimated taking into consideration the sample porosity. Finally the H-dependence of the permittivity due to ME interactions is calculated from the free energy considerations. Estimated ɛr vs. H and dielectric resonance frequency vs. H characteristics are in general agreement with the data.
The fabrication of environmental-friendly Cu 2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films with pure kesterite phase is always a challenge to researchers in the field of solar cells. We introduce a simple non-vacuum sol-gel method to fabricate kesterite CZTS films. Ethylenediamine is used as the chelating agent and stabilizer and plays an important role in preparing stable precursor. X-ray diffraction, Raman and scanning electron microscopy studies suggest that the microstructure and optical properties of CZTS films depend strongly on annealing temperatures. The temperature dependence of conductivity of 500 °C annealed CZTS film shows that the Mott law dominates in the low temperature region and thermionic emission is predominant at high temperatures.

A zero-flow microfluidics for long-term cell culture and detectionView Description Hide Description
A zero-flow microfluidic design is proposed in this paper, which can be used for long-term cell culture and detection, especially for a lab-on-chip integrated with a biosensor. It consists of two parts: a main microchannel; and a circle microchamber. The Finite Element Method (FEM) was employed to predict the fluid transport properties for a minimum fluid flow disturbance. Some commonly used microfluidic structures were also analysed systematically to prove the designed structure. Then the designed microfluidics was fabricated. Based on the simulations and experiments, this design provides a continuous flow environment, with a relatively stable and low shear stress atmosphere, similar to a zero-flow environment. Furthermore, the nutrients maintaining cells' normal growth can be taken into the chamber through the diffusion effect. It also proves that the microfluidics can realize long-term cell culture and detection. The application of the structure in the field of biological microelectromechenical systems (BioMEMS) will provide a research foundation for microfluidic technology.oa
Theoretical and experimental analysis of AlGaInP micro-LED array with square-circle anodeView Description Hide Description
An array of 320 × 240 micro-light-emitting diodes (micro-LEDs) based on an AlGaInP epitaxial wafer and with a unit size of 100 µm×100 µm was designed and fabricated. The optimum width of the isolation groove between adjacent light-emitting units was determined based on a compromise between full isolation of each LED and maximization of the light emitting area, and was found to be 20 µm. The grooves were filled with a mixed Si granule-polyurethane composite medium, because this type of insulating material can reflect part of the emitted light from the sidewall to the window layer in each light-emitting unit, and could thus improve lighting output efficiency. The 10-µm-wide square-circle anode was designed to increase the light emitting area while simultaneously being simple to fabricate. The device current used was in the 0.42–1.06 mA range to guarantee internal quantum efficiency of more than 85%, with a corresponding voltage range of 2–2.3 V. The layered temperature distribution in a single unit was simulated under a drive voltage of 2.2 V, and the maximum device temperature was 341 K. The micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) technology-based fabrication process, experimental images of the device and device test results are presented here.oa
Optimization of substrate conformal imprint lithography (SCIL) and etching for nanostructureView Description Hide Description
The UV-SCIL fabrication process was developed and optimized to improve the quality of the nanostructures on the hard substrate transferred with substrate conformal imprint lithography (SCIL) technology. In particular, the key steps such as coating imprint resist, exposure time and etching time were investigated thoroughly. The experiment's results illustrate that imprint resist could well serve as an etching mask for the dry etching process without oxygen plasma. The optimized etching condition and SCIL technology could also be used to transfer nanostructures on different substrates for metal nanostructured biosensors or nanophotonics.oa
Effects of hydrogen atoms on surface conductivity of diamond filmView Description Hide Description
To investigate the effects of surface chemisorbed hydrogen atoms and hydrogen atoms in the subsurface region of diamond on surface conductivity, models of hydrogen atoms chemisorbed on diamond with (100) orientation and various concentrations of hydrogen atoms in the subsurface layer of the diamond were built. By using the first-principles method based on density functional theory, the equilibrium geometries and densities of states of the models were studied. The results showed that the surface chemisorbed hydrogen alone could not induce high surface conductivity. In addition, isolated hydrogen atoms in the subsurface layer of the diamond prefer to exist at the bond centre site of the C-C bond. However, such a structure would induce deep localized states, which could not improve the surface conductivity. When the hydrogen concentration increases, the C-H-C-H structure and C-3Hbc-C structure in the subsurface region are more stable than other configurations. The former is not beneficial to the increase of the surface conductivity. However, the latter would induce strong surface states near the Fermi level, which would give rise to high surface conductivity. Thus, a high concentration of subsurface hydrogen atoms in diamond would make significant contributions to surface conductivity.oa
Voltammetric and impedance behaviours of surface-treated nano-crystalline diamond film electrodesView Description Hide Description
The electrochemical performances of hydrogen- and oxygen-terminated nano-crystalline diamond film electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance spectroscopy. In addition, the surface morphologies, phase structures, and chemical states of the two diamond films were analysed by scanning probe microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The results indicated that the potential window is narrower for the hydrogen-terminated nano-crystalline diamond film than for the oxygen-terminated one. The diamond film resistance and capacitance of oxygen-terminated diamond film are much larger than those of the hydrogen-terminated diamond film, and the polarization resistances and double-layer capacitance corresponding to oxygen-terminated diamond film are both one order of magnitude larger than those corresponding to the hydrogen-terminated diamond film. The electrochemical behaviours of the two diamond film electrodes are discussed.oa
Research on influences of contact force in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processView Description Hide Description
A series of simulations of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) were conducted to investigate the contact force between abrasive particles and specimens by using the finite element method (FEM). In this paper, a micro-contact model, which only involves the mechanical interactions, was set up to simulate the polishing process by changing the processing parameters, including the downward pressure, abrasive size, and polishing speed. Simulation results show that the contact force becomes larger when the downward pressure increases. In addition, when the downward pressure and abrasive size increase, the fluctuation of the contact force becomes large, whereas it declines with decreases in the polishing speed. In addition, corresponding CMP experiments were done to investigate the material removal rate (MRR) and polished average roughness (Ra) under different simulation conditions. Through the establishment of the contact force properties in the simulation and the MRR and Ra in the CMP experiment, qualitative research has been done on the relationship between the contact force in the simulation and experimental results. Experimental results indicate that the MRR and surface roughness are influenced by the contact force. A high MRR can be obtained by a large contact force and dramatic fluctuations can lead to poor surface-finish quality. The investigation contributes to obtaining higher polishing efficiency and lower surface roughness through optimization of the polishing parameters.oa

St Boniface, Woodgreen
This is one of the trio of more modern buildings. St Boniface Church, Woodgreen nestles between Woodgreen's village hall with its famous murals of village life that date from the 1930's, and its pub, The Horse and Groom.
St Boniface Church
Hale Road
Whilst Hale is an ancient parish dating from medieval times, Woodgreen combined with Hale as a single parish in 1927. The building that is now St Boniface Church dates from 1914 and was originally a church reading room. In 1949, it was dedicated as a church in its own right with the name of St Boniface and was extended to its present size in 1963.
St Boniface was the son of Devon peasants who became a monk, a missionary to the Germans, and Archbishop of Mainz. He was martyred in 754, and in June 2004 we celebrated in Woodgreen his 1250th anniversary.

Beau Monde Restaurant Review: Everything old seems new again with crêpes back on the scene. There is no more pleasant place to have them than in this restored house in Queen Village. Crêpes are a Breton tradition and these are "le vrai" articles, made with buckwheat or plain flour. Onlookers can watch them being made on imported cast iron griddles from the windows overlooking Bainbridge. Starters include a selection of three pâtés served properly with cornichons, or a salad with thin-sliced duck breast. Entrée crêpes are golden envelopes that may contain smoked salmon, coq au vin or roasted leeks. Dessert crêpes may be filled with apples, goat cheese and crème fraîche or berries, lemon curd and lemon sorbet. Upstairs, you'll find live music, drag shows and more at L'Etage cabaret.

The murmur of a possible shift on quantitative easing from Ben Bernanke and the US Federal Reserve certainly caused a few tremors globally. Is he being over hopeful? He's had to pull back before and certainly he is running into major astrological problems with his Solar Arc Pluto conjunct his Neptune Mars conjunction anytime from now over the next few months – that looks devastating and a dead halt. So something is going wrong in his planning. In addition from mid July transiting Pluto is trine his Mars/Uranus midpoint right through till late November which is hugely stressed.
That certainly fits with the pressures looming on the US Fed Reserve Bank chart with later August starting a run of panics with public confidence receding sharply. Tr Saturn is in a depressed conjunction to the Fed Reserve Mercury Moon in late Aug/Sept and the failure-ridden tr Neptune square Mars picks up late Aug till early Oct, returning late Dec till late Jan 2014. Tr Saturn is also in a jolting square to Uranus in Oct and a confidence-dampening square to Jupiter in Nov. Plus a shock and a collision of sorts anytime between now and late August as the Solar Arc Sun squares Mars.
The USA 1776 chart looks to be in the grip of false hopes financially which will turn to disappointment along the way. Tr Neptune is trine the USA Jupiter at the moment and on and off till late 2014.
There's an almighty jolt as well over the next six months as the Solar Arc square Uranus on the USA chart draws exact. But it is 2014/15 when the problems really start to bite with the USA Cancer Sun square Saturn in Libra starting to pick up the tr Uranus square tr Pluto which is going to be quite an obstacle course with certain financial implications from the deprived/hardship tr Pluto square Saturn.
The international stock markets recently certainly took a fit of the vapours over both the central bank of China and the US Fed Reserve tightening the screws on easy money.

Stock Market charts are notoriously tricky to read but there are similarities on the Dow Jones (26 May 1896 9.11am) and the Shanghai SE (19 Dec 1990 9.16 am) charts.
The Dow Jones has tr Neptune square Sun and tr Uranus sextile Pluto. While the Shanghai SE has tr Neptune opposition Solar Arc Jupiter and tr Uranus trine Solar Arc Pluto. Tr Neptune has been running on that degree since early May which is undermining but the effect didn't kick in till the Uranus transit slotted into place. The FTSE First Trade chart (3 Jan 1984 10am) similarly has had tr Neptune hitting two key midpoints and again tr Uranus square Sun as their stocks plummeted.
These running Neptune and Uranus influences are in place for another 18 months – so a volatile time ahead.
The Bank of China chart is looking mighty concerned at present with Solar Arc Uranus conjunct their Saturn and tr Neptune opposition both for the next 18 months – and there is worse to come thereafter with tr Neptune square their Sun across mid decade as well as the devastating tr Uranus square tr Pluto hitting their Neptune. Their economic travails won't disappear in a hurry that's for sure.

Make Waves
For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed all aspects of sports–from competing and coaching to watching games from the stands. While I don't remember the first time I participated in the "wave," I do remember the last: the handball games at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. The stadium was full of people of various nationalities, ages and races. How or when the wave began, I don't recall, it just happened.
A Brief Look
In competitive games, the wave is known to almost all everyone. Spectators move their arms up and down, imitating the movement of a wave as it "breaks," a continuous flow of energy like the natural waves in the ocean. Although there is some debate over the wave's origin, it is believed a professional cheerleader named George Henderson initiated it in 1981.
The wave is not a typical behavior because there is generally no connection or verbal communication with the people sitting in the rows to the left and right, or on the opposing side of an arena. The beauty of this action is that it somehow brings everyone together in a cooperative act inspired by a common goal–to cheer on the home team. It is a pure expression of collective passion, unleashed.
Stand Up
Practically anyone can start the wave, so long as he or she can capture people's attention as well as stand up and lead. In a sense, standing up affords the opportunity to communicate an idea and inspire others to help achieve it. It's not possible to persuade people to be part of the wave by using money because it is likely money would run out before everyone could be paid. Yelling at people in order to persuade them to generate that energy won't work either. Coercion, as a form of power, will not work, especially for those who are far away. Instead, sharing one's vision and using communication skills is the only way to create any wave. Of course, the manner in which you approach people will affect the outcome because you will either manage to connect to those around you or not. In Henderson's case, people followed his lead, not because he was an expert in the field or because he had power, but because they liked what he stood for and the way he banged his drum for it.
Turning The Tide
Now, imagine what can happen if parks and recreation agencies capture the essence and energy of the wave, and create that home-field advantage. I believe that this profession needs a wave–a big one–to form matching perspectives for employees, and convince them to "serve" rather than "work." For example, when asking two employees about their jobs, one might admit to collecting trash in a park, whereas the other might describe the job as creating a cleaner environment. The latter approach in parks and recreation not only unites a department in a common goal, but also is a testament to the public that everyone is working together to serve.
From a business perspective, companies that are successful are those that have an energy similar to the one generated by the wave. These companies have managed to encourage a culture that allows a wave to happen by instilling a great purpose for employees to fulfill the company's commitment. Employees look for work environments in which they can grow by developing their skills and enjoy a sense of independence. Once a vision is shared and accepted by employees, amazing things can happen. The wave in a stadium can change the experience for spectators, who then usually cheer louder afterwards–at least I did. I felt more engaged and excited. The wave represents an emotional change in how we act. The world's athletic phenomenon and a piece of American pop culture is the ticket to redefine our field, strengthen it, and place it where it belongs–in the hearts and minds of people.

He also said a psychic told Lindsay Lohan will have a great 2013 ... so there's that.

Jenson Button was "not surprised" to learn that Mark Webber will be walking away from F1 at the end of this season.
After months of speculation it was confirmed on Thursday that the Red Bull racer would be heading to Le Mans with Porsche in 2014.
The announcement brings to an end Webber's 12-year career in Formula One, much of which he has spent competing against Button for points, podiums and even world titles.
Asked for his thoughts on Webber's departure, Button said he was "not really surprised.
"Mark's career has been similar to mine. It's obviously the right time."
The McLaren driver was adamant, though, that it was not yet the right time for him, nor has he even thought about what other series he would join when he leaves F1.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso also gave his thoughts, saying it was a "good time" for Webber and that the Porsche drive was a "good opportunity.
"Wish him the best of luck for the rest of the Championship and the future."

Before mermaids paraded, Coney Island went Mardi Gras!
A century-old party: ghoulish revelers from the 1911 parade
An even larger collection of freaks and aquatic oddities than Coney Island's everyday normal assortment will come slithering down Surf Avenue this Saturday with the 29th annual Mermaid Parade.
The parade is the heart of Coney's modern freak-show aesthetic, Christmastime for the tattooed and glittery. Most people think that, unlike most New York City parades, the Mermaid parade celebrates nothing specific, only a joy of costume, summertime and silliness. In fact, Coney Island 'mayor' Bill Zigun and Coney Island USA created the parade in 1983 as an homage to an even more legendary seaside tradition: the Coney Island Mardi Gras parade.
Let that stew in your mind a bit. Coney Island meets New Orleans.
The annual Mardi Gras celebration lasted from 1903, the heart of Coney's heyday, until 1954 -- the heart of the Robert Moses years. Curiously, it always took place in mid-September, which I suppose is a nicer time for a New York parade than February, the traditional date of Marti Gras. Instead, the parade was timed to coincide with the end of the summer season and the annual shuttering of the amusement parks.
Below: The 1908 festival, with nighttime floats and frippery (Click to see an enlarged version of this picture at Shorpy.)
In 1906, the great parks of Coney Island like Dreamland were still standing, but other current draws, like Nathan's famous hot dog stand, wouldn't be open for many years. Even still, the Mardi Gras parade that year managed to attract 500,000 people. "Police Commissioner [Thomas] Bingham visited the Island and had [his] full share of attention from confetti throwers and wielders of the 'tickler'."
I don't know what a tickler was back then, but the idea of what I think it is being thrust at a police commissioner is absurd. Probably a souvenir from a Luna Park ride called the Tickler (which doesn't look that fun, see image from 1906):
That same year brewery mogul Herman Raub (pictured below), founder of the Coney Island railway, was anointed king of the parade.
The Mardi Gras parade sounds like it was a horrifying, chaotic, fabulous mess. In 1911, the celebration also gathered about a half million people to view this tenuously religious celebration.
It seems part of the fun of the original Mardi Gras involved drunken displays of violence. "Gangs March Through Street Insulting Women and Wrecking Stores And Restaurants" shouts the Times. "Several Hundred Arrested."
Despite rampant (probably exaggerated) violence, the parade became the star of a wacky Fatty Arbuckle-Buster Keaton film, the 1915 'Coney Island'. It hit celluloid later in 1935 in the Popeye the Sailor Man short 'King of the Mardi Gras'.
By 1921, the parade had to deal with a new menace -- Prohibition. "It was agreed that Prohibition had struck Coney Island a staggering blow." Many revelers dressed in costumes that "referred satirically to blue law advocates."
One popular event at the parade was the annual 'prettiest baby' competition. In 1921, the winner was "Rita Murphy, 6 years old, of 2,005 Sixty-Third Street, Brooklyn, dressed as a jockey." The tot was awarded "a ninety-two-piece silver set which she can use to start housekeeping when she gets married." What a future young Rita had in store for her!
The parade sadly petered out thanks in part to Robert Moses's ridiculous plan to turn the area into "an area of predominantly residential character." Brooklyn Pix has a good shot of the final Mardi Gras spectacle, and it looks alarmingly similar to today's Mermaid Parade.
Check here for all the details on this year's Mermaid Parade. I'll see you down there!
This article is a modified reprint of one I wrote back in 2008.

Red Carpet Dresses at the SAGs
There were hits, there were misses, and, in some cases, there were a few in between. Two stylish actresses known to take fashion risks, Angelina Jolie and Marisa Tomei, walked the red carpet last night at the SAG Awards in looks I just can't decide if I like. Jolie, in a simple jersey Max Azria dress, looked stunning (it's almost impossible for her not to) but I'm not sure I'm on board with the color and drape. Tomei, in Elie Saab, looked radiant and fresh, though the overly embellished buttery yellow gown was adorned with one too many flowers. Help me decidewhat did you think of these gowns?
