RC car
April 27, 2011
Ok, so I'm working on a plan to bring my little brother's little Niko RC car (you know, these models that suddenly break down for no reason at all after three charges) back to life. The plan is:
- Yank out old electronics (fun job, done ^^)
- Test steering servo and current draw of drive motor
- Build new electronics
Step 2 will be done by tonight but I have a few hickups on step three.
Basically, I'm going to refit the remote with two mini-joysticks and an xbee module. Now here's the thing: I've read that the xbee has onboard ADC's and I absolutely love this (no need for a microcontroller in the remote) but I can't seem to find a lot of info on how this whole system transmits it's data. With "transmitting it's data" I mean: what comes out at the receiving end and how can I read the ADC's output with my ARDUINO in the car (first time I'll be using arduino :D). Is there anyone here with any experience in this department?
Also, I've built a design for a simple H-bridge and wanted to know if it looks any good. So if you could comment on that, that would be great!
Thanks a lot guys (and girls)!
I can't help with the xbees,
I can't help with the xbees, but here are some thoughts on the h-bridges and electronics.
Your schematic doesn't show current limiting resistors on the base inputs to the transistors. These are recommended to protect you processor's outputs in case the circuit tries to draw too much current. What transistors are you using? Will they be able to handle the current of your motors? Same goes for your diodes; make sure they are rate high enough to handle your max motor current. Bigger (more current handling) components won't hurt, but they can save you.
You can measure the stall current of your motors by preventing them from turning while measuring the current at full voltage.
One last thought, have you looked at the original electronics to see what you can use? Chances are the original h-bridge in there is still just fine. At the very least, you may be able to re-use some components, or gain an understanding about what size transistors you need.
A 1k transistor at the base
A 1k transistor at the base of each transistor should be fine.
I forgot to mention before, be very careful that you never turn on both transistors on one side of the h-bridge at the same time (Q1 & Q2 together or Q3 & Q4 together). This will shoot current straight through from power to ground and probably smoke your h-bridge.
Some people like to use a combination of npn and pnp transistors for their h-bridges. This way, it takes a combination of a high and a low (referring to pin1 and pin2 your schematic) to turn on the h-bridge. When your microprocessor first wakes up, gets in a weird state, or you just have a programming error, it is possible that all output pins will accidently get set high. This puts your current h-bridge in a "smoke me" configuration.
I've used all npn h-bridge designs in the past. They work fine, but if you are building from scratch anyway, that is something to consider. Just replace Q2 and Q4 with matching pnp versions of your npn transistors.
Dead motor
Did the motor have a closed attached gearbox, or an open frame of gears? You may be able to find an appropriate sized motor for cheap and replace it.
Or... parts!
H Bridge Transistor Pack and PCB
I've recently started using the L298 Dual H-Bridge available for only a few dollars. This thing has current limiting (up to 2 amps per channel if i recall correctly) and TTL Compatible inputs. Someone also made up a PCB design available from http://www.dprg.org/projects/1998-04a/ . I've used 2 of these to run car window crank motors (with the two sides paired to get double the capacity). This way if you draw a nominal 3A and if it goes up to 4A, no problem. It just won't be able to draw more than 4A -- but no smoke!.
It may be too much
Just because a motor draws 15A during stall, doesn't mean it should or will be able to handle that much current -- not for long. If the car hits a wall and stalls, you don't want the motor(s) drawing 15A continuously, so the current limiting of the L298 is a good thing. Unfortunately, the electronics to allow a short - high stall current during initial acceleration are much more complicated than a simple H-Bridge driven by some sort of PWM signal. :( Would be nice if it was that easy.
Yes, startup is similar to a stall and normally doesn't happen all that much, but in an RC style car there tends to be a lot of switching between forward and backward, repeated stalls.
Beware the blue smoke that makes electronics go! Your motors are the most difficult thing to replace as you've designed everything else from scratch and can easily fix it. If you go with 15 A capable transistors, you'll have to keep an eye on the temperature of the motors until you get a feel for how much abuse they can take.

I was very good about paying my payment on time and did not have any problems. When my husband returned from Iraq, the first two paychecks we received were not right. After getting it all straightened out through the Military I contacted Arcadia Transouth and explained to them what was going on. They were very rude to me. I ended up hanging up and stating to my husband that they will get the payment as soon as we got his paycheck.
Three days later (because I was two days late) they were calling my home. At first I did dodge the calls because of how rude the man was to me to begin with. When I finally answered their call 4 days after payment was due they proceeded to tell me that they did not care about our financial burdens.
They wanted me to try and borrow the money from someone (Friends or family or even get a loan) and pay them that day. I tried to explain to them that it would only be another 3 more days. THey did not want to hear it. The guy was calling me a liar when I tried to explain to him about my husband serving in the military and his check was incorrect.
I finally had enough when the man proceeded to tell me these exact words "Do you think your husband is special just because he just came home from Iraq? Where in Iraq was he? I was in the military and so I would know if you were telling me the truth. Tell me where he was at in Iraq. If you can tell me where he was and what Battalion he is with, what his SSI and his MOS is, I will let you pay your payment on the day he gets his check. If you cannot tell me these things, You will have your payment to me no later than 5pm my time."
I was appalled. I just hung up on him. They continued to call and leave harrassing messages on my machine.
We still have the car and we are still one month behind. I am trying to catch up but it seems like they just keep tacking more things onto our grand total. I am not sure what to do. My husband is getting ready to leave for a year to Korea. I would give anything if I could refinance our truck with an honest company. Our truck is all we have but it doesnt seem as if we are ever going to get this thing payed off. Please if anyone can help me with any ideas I would surely be appreciative. We have not even had the truck a year so I have been turned down 3 times for a refinancing.
I want away from these rude and beligerant jerks!

These people may be everything you claim, but they aren't ripping off the military. Your husband is the one in the military, not you. You were the one that made this deal. You were the one that failed to pay. You were the one that hung up on people trying to collect on a legitimate debt. You are the one that admits dodging their calls. And by the way, if you only needed the money for 3 days, why is the bill now a month late?
Did you think of going to his First Sergeant? How about the on-post assistance agencies? Nope, didn't think so.
I agree that there is a ripoff here. You are driving a car you aren't paying for. Sounds like a ripoff to me.

I scheduled a consultation and was thinking that this would be a standard procedure and that I'd done it all before. I checked online, just to make sure that this place wasn't a dump and was pleasantly surprised that some people did their consultation and extraction the same day. So of course I called ahead and scheduled it all today.
When I got there, the place - was disgusting. Very old looking, ripped sofas, dirty windows in rooms! The receptionists were nasty and demanded payment upfront, which normally isnt a big deal for me but in this instance I should have followed my instincts. "Your insurance doesn't cover going under,
just local anesthesia" she said. Ok, no big deal...I have a high pain tolerance and I didn't go under for the last one.
Once Dr. Jules Roberts came in, he said "Wait, you're not going under?", and I said "no, insurance doesn't cover it." "You don't have anyone who will help cover it?" - wait, what? I asked how much
it was. $650. Ok, so I work for the City and I'm not ballin' but really? He asked me FIVE times....Yes, FIVE times. Come on! I don't want to spend that kind of money on a 20 minute procedure! And please, I'm too old to be asking my parents for money for dental procedures...
Anyways, he gets started on anesthesia. Wait...what happened to the consultation? Well, I guess he knows what he's doing so I just let him do it. The procedure goes well, the usual push and pull and awkward pressure...but imagine the ABSOLUTE HORROR on my face when he asks for the Suture. Ok, my knowledge of medicine is minimal and probably came from playing that surgical
game on the DS, but I know that Suture means Stitches. WHY are you putting STITCHES in my mouth?! He chuckles at the horrified expression on my face - "Oh, I had to cut your gum and break some bone to get it out". -First of all, that might be regular procedure, but you totally FAILED to
mention this to me before you started. I think I was in shock for a few moments, but he cleaned up and said "follow me" - and out the door.
They gave me some vicodin and showed me out the door. This place is disgusting and I dont recommend anyone to go to North Shore Oral Maxillofacial Surgery PC in Plainview unless you want to experience what I went through. I was not even given a fair consultation, especially when they knew that there was a difficult extraction. To top this all off I received a collections letter from them demanding I pay for the anesthesia that I didnt even want in the first place.
Stay as far away from this place as possible

The user is obviously attempting to defame or defraud Dr. Roberts because every single detail of the experience is just not true.the user didn't even describe the office correctly. First, there has never been any sofa, couch, loveseat or anything resembling similar. I know because i have been a patient of Dr. Roberts for over 3 years. And the users account is unbelievably laughable in every aspect. I myself have tried to get Dr.Roberts to consult and perform an extraction in the same day. HE WON'T DO IT. I could go on and on about how I won't even allow anyone to touch anything in my mouth except him. And trust me, I've seen a handful of oral surgeons, periodontists, orthodontists, and everyone else. His reputation speaks for itself, its so sad people try to scam and impugn the character of one of the very few great doctors around. Be careful what you read on the internet

Blood clot facts
- A blood clot forms to try and repair damage to a blood vessel, either an artery or vein.
- A blood clot is a gel-like mass formed by platelets and fibrin in the blood to stop bleeding.
- When blood clots form inappropriately inside an artery or vein, they may cause significant problems because blood flow past the clot is decreased.
- There are a variety of risk factors and illness that can lead to blood clot formation.
- Causes of blood clots may include:
- Heart conditions, including atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disturbance
- Pregnancy
- Prolonged immobility
- Smoking
- Certain medications, including birth control pills
- Surgery, especially orthopedic procedures when casts or splints are placed and the patient is immobile
- Inherited blood clotting disorders.
- Symptoms of blood clots depend on their location in the body. Some blood clots produce no symptoms until they rupture or become dislocated and travel through the circulatory system to other sites. Symptoms of blood clots in specific body locations are as follows:
- Symptoms of blood clots in legs (deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are pain, redness, and swelling
- Symptoms of an arterial blood clot in the leg are painful and the leg is cool and pale.
- Symptoms of blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolus) are chest pain, shortness of breath, and rapid pulse and breathing
- Symptoms of a stroke (blood clot in an artery of the brain) include loss of speech, vision, and weakness on one side of the body
- Symptoms of a heart attack (blood clot in a coronary artery) are chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, indigestion, and sweating
- Symptoms of mesenteric ischemia (blood clot to an artery that supplies the intestine) are abdominal pain, nausea, blood in stool
- The diagnosis of a blood clot is suggested by the history and physical examination and is often confirmed with an imaging test. Depending upon the location of the blood clot and its cause, treatment may require surgery, anti-coagulation medications, or a combination of the two.
- Prevention of blood clots involves attention to the risk factors for vascular disease and includes avoiding smoking and lifelong control of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
- Serious complications may arise from blood clots, some are life threatening, and individuals should seek urgent or emergent medical care if they believe they may have a blood clot. This is especially true if signs and symptoms of a heart attack or stroke occur. Continue Reading

After one year with proper notice I tried to cancel the contract. i was told that contract could not be terminated. Instead of dealing with Integrity of Texas now I am having to deal with 3 companies- Check Recovery Systems for returned checks, MBF Leasing that says they own the equipment and Integrity of Texas. I was required to send a $375. cashiers check in order to terminate my contract with Integrity. I returned the equipment to Integrity of Texas from whom I received it.
However, it was returned to me as refused. Now MBF Leasing says I owe them about $3000. for the equipment eventhough you can purchase the same equipment for probably $500-$700.I believe both of these companies are unethical and ripoff artists.

Team to face West Ham?
Forward line is where I'm struggling. I cant disagree with what you have in midfield or defence. We have so many options up front but none really have any punch.
How many league goals across that forward line that you've shown there Hobs? 2 or so I think.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I would even ponder putting Joke Hole up there as he had his best game for us playing with Shelvey against Young Boys, then again....
I think it would be great to give Allen a rest so if Shain has recovered from his bloody nose I would put him in or maybe even Hendo who might do better at keeping the West Ham midfield quit.
- 1 Reply to Aurelio
Maybe we should just play Johnson and Enrique up front, they seem to like a shot or 2!
I think it might just be 1 league goal?! Shelvey has 4 but think all are in Europa and league cup? Just Sterling as far as I can remember in the league against Reading. There isn't any goals on the bench really either, it is going to be a tough fixture.
- 1 Reply to Hobitez
It is and people need to step up.
I've double checked the league table and this I see as another critical fixture. It's away from home but a win will potentially move us up the table and put pressure on Arsenal, Stoke and West Ham themselves. We would at least leap frog West Ham. We'd also put pressure on Everton and Swansea.
It would really do us the world of good to be honest, things would look a lot rosier.
Nolan is their problem player and one we need to watch very carefully

I'm not so sure. Yes other than Suarez no one has more than a single goal in the league, but that does not mean there are not goals in the rest of the squad. Suarez only has a single goal in the Europa competition, and we've been able to find goals without him, as I think last night was his first start in the competition.
Sometimes I think when you have such a good player up front the players tend to try to get the ball to him so he can do his magic (and why not it works) but when he's not around they have to take responsibility themselves. The same thing happened when Torres was with us, he became the focal point.
JonJo I think is a prime example. For me he's a very impressive player who does have goal in him, as Europa has proven this term. But he can fade when Suarez and or Stevie are on the pitch as he no longer looks to take control of things but will defer to the more senior players.
End of the day you've got to jump in the pool to see if you can swim, and there is no reason why others in the side can't score goals, and now is the time to show it.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is looking for farmers to participate in an initiative to monitor the effectiveness of conservation practices at improving water quality.
The Edge-of-Field Water Quality Monitoring Initiative is administered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Farmers in the Hayworth Creek, Kearsley-Swartz and Mid-Shiawassee River watersheds are eligible to apply for the initiative. The watersheds are located primarily in Clinton, Genesee, Oakland and Shiawassee counties with a small portion in Lapeer County.Farmers within these three Michigan watersheds are eligible to apply for the initiative until June 14, 2013.
Applications for the program will be ranked competitively on a nation-wide basis. Successful applicants will receive financial assistance to monitor water runoff from enrolled land. The information gathered will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of conservation practices, such as cover crops and filter strips, at reducing the amount of sediment and nutrients entering surface water.
For more information about the initiative and how to apply for USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service programs, contact your local Conservation District and NRCS field office or go online to www.mi.nrcs.usda.gov.

Also I don't think night races will be safe, I saw the Moto GP bikes testing it, those lights aren't as good as they say and most of the countrys they are planning them in tend to be quite tropical so heavy rain is very likley in the evening which would ruin visablity even more >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Racing single seaters at night is no problem. They have been doing it for years in the US both on ovals and street courses. Lighting is not a problem as the night race at Houston in CCWS a couple of years ago proved. Also a few years ago they lit the parts of the circuit at Le Mans with flood lights for the 24 Hours and again the lights caused no problems with either the drivers or the marshals. I would be happy to marshal a night race but not F1 because of all the pointless inspections and politics that follow F1 around the world

Happy New Year. I don't know about you all, but I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy.
It's primarily because I got lots of warm stuff for Christmas, but other things, too. I received numerous pictures of family and friends along with letters and messages catching me up on their lives. What a great way to start 2012. Now, if only I can remember to write it.
"It's the way we've always done it."
If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that response — well, I'd have a lot of nickels.
I don't want to make a mountain out of a seemingly insignificant city government oversight.
But frankly, I'm surprised city officials thought using the "honor system" in relation to reimbursing its employees was an effective and realistic tradition to uphold.
Column as I see 'em …
Agree or disagree with the order in which they appear, or if they should have been on the list at all, the stories that comprise this year's top 10 certainly show that Anderson County had its share of ups and downs in 2011.
Anderson County had plenty to celebrate during 2011, but it also had plenty of reasons to mourn, cry or simply be embarrassed at the admitted shenanigans in the former judge-executive's office.
It was a year when a small town rallied behind its underdog high school football team, came together as one to support unified government, and applauded its hometown sheriff for being named the state's best.
Anderson County has played in a girls' basketball tournament in Florida. The Lady Bearcats have beaten several teams that are considered legitimate contenders or favorites in other regions in the state.
Yet, none of those games will mean as much or are as important as when the Lady Bearcats travel to Collins Friday night. All that's at stake is the top seed in the 30th District Tournament, to be held the last week of February.
The honor system is the only current city policy available when it comes to travel and training reimbursements for city employees.
Auditor Thomas Smith of the downtown accounting firm Farmer and Humble had only one suggestion for the city council following its 2010-2011 fiscal year audit: take a closer look at the city's spending in travel and training.
HARRODSBURG – Anderson County's girls' basketball team turned in a solid performance, winning three of four games in the Mercer County Lady Titan Christmas Clash, held last week at Mercer County High School.
The Lady Bearcats, playing in a field that contained at least nine teams that are considered contenders in their respective regions, finished third, defeating defending 15th Region champion Sheldon Clark, 65-38, in the third place game Friday night.
With rumors flying in Frankfort over how the state legislature intends to redistrict Kentucky, state Rep. Kim King issued a stern warning Friday morning about any attempts to mess with Anderson County.
"Constitutionally, Anderson County cannot be split," King said. "If the majority tries to do that, we have all of our ducks in a row already to take them to court."
The probable top seed in the 30th District Tournament will likely be on the line Friday night when Anderson County visits Collins. Tip off is at 7:30 p.m.
While the majority of district seeding games remain to be played, Friday's winner will have a commanding lead in the race for the top seed. Anderson has already beaten Shelby County, while the fourth district team, Spencer County, has reportedly gone through a rash of injuries and has limped into the new year at 4-7.

We present a method for calculating the differential scattering cross sections from nanostructures close to an interface separating two semi-infinitive dielectric media. The method combines a fast finite element software (Comsol multiphysics), used for calculations of the fields around and inside the structure, and the Green's functions method, which is used to find the far field distribution from the calculated total fields inside the nanostructure. We apply the method to calculations of scattering spectra from silver nanowires supported by an air-glass interface, a system that is of high current interest in relation to various nanophotonics applications. The results are analyzed in relation to analytical models and compared to experimentally measured spectra, to which we find a good agreement.
1. Introduction
Surface plasmons in metal nanostructures [1, 2] have attracted enormous recent interest because of a wide range of potential applications in areas such as biochemical sensing [3], photovoltaics [4], nanophotonics [5] and metamaterials [6]. However, much of this development would most likely not have occurred without the continuous development of sophisticated methods and software for electrodynamics simulations of nanooptical phenomena. In this paper, we present a method for calculating the differential scattering cross section of supported nanostructures using a combination of the Green's function method and a commercial finite element method (FEM) (Comsol multiphysics 3.5a). We believe that the methodology fills an important gap among the large number of existing computational techniques in that it makes it possible to simulate comparatively large metal structures that are optically close to an interface. Indeed, this is a situation that is encountered in practice in a very large number of experimental plasmonics studies. Here we use the method to study the near-field and far-field properties of supported silver nanowires, but the method can in principle be applied to any nanostructure shape and material.
Progress in colloidal synthesis over the last two decades has allowed for the fabrication of a large diversity of metal nanostructures with high crystalline quality, in particular various types of nanowires [7, 8]. Metal nanowires are interesting from a photonics point-of-view because they can support surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that are propagating along one direction while being localized in the other two [8–16], a phenomenon that could be interesting for a number of applications. Recent reports pointing in this direction include investigations of coupling between plasmonic and photonic nanowires [17–19] and between nanoparticles and wires [20, 21], demonstrations of plasmon routing [22] and interferometric logics [23] and studies of how single photon emitters, such as quantum dots and fluorophores, couple to nanowires [24–28]. More fundamental studies on plasmonic nanowires include research on near field [29] and far field [30, 31] properties, emission directionality [32–34] and optical rotation [35].
Most of the experimental studies mentioned above deal with nanowires supported by an optically mismatched interface, and this is therefore the focus of the present study. We are particularly interested in understanding how plasmonic nanowires behave as Fabry Perot (FP) resonators and in characterizing the near-field and far-field properties of such systems. We also calculate the plasmon dispersion relations for supported nanowires of different diameters and compare the results with analytical models valid for homogeneous environments. Some of the calculations are compared with experimental results and a good agreement is found.
2. Methods
Our calculations combine the use of a commercial FEM package with the Green's function method and are carried out in two steps. First the total fields inside the scatterer are calculated using the finite element method and afterwards, as a second step, the far field distribution of the fields is calculated using the Green's functions for the two-layer background and the field inside the scatterer found in the first step as input.
For the FEM calculation, we use the RF module in the scattering formulation to find the electric field distribution inside, and in the near proximity of, a single silver nanowire, i.e. a cylinder with the radius R (we consider the cases R = 40 nm, R = 80 nm, and R = 160 nm in this work) and length L = 5 µm. Figure 1(a) shows the Comsol simulation domain, with the interface between air and glass at z = 0 and the surroundings of the wire have refractive index for z>0, and for z<0. The wire has a refractive index of silver taken from Johnson and Christy [36]. In the FEM calculation the surroundings of the nanowire are delimited by two finite cylinders, the smaller with radius 600 nm and length 7 µm and the bigger with radius 900 nm and the length 8 µm. The part of space in between these cylinders (blue color in the Fig. 1(a)) are perfectly matched layers (PML's), which absorb all the scattered light with minimal reflections. We apply scattering boundary conditions at the surface of the larger cylinder, i.e. that interface is transparent to the scattered light, and perfect magnetic conductor boundary conditions at y = 0 because the magnetic field is only directed along the y axis, which allows us to use the symmetry and simulate only half the wire.
Fig. 1
The plane wave driving the system is incident along the z axis from the air side and is, using the Fresnel formulas, where isEq. (1) should have an opposite sign when the equation is implemented in that software.
After solving the model, the field distribution inside and in the proximity of the nanowire is known. In order to find differential scattering cross sections of the nanowire, we then use the Green's function method [37]. Here, we derive an analytical formula of the asymptotic Green's function for the case of a single interface, which is easy to implement. It provides a generalization to the case of a layered background of the Stratton-Chu formula [38] that is built into the Comsol software.
The differential scattering cross section can be calculated as,
The scattered electric fields from a nanostructure can be calculated by discretizing the electric fields on a mesh with equally sized cubic elements (see Fig. 1(b)), summing contributions from each mesh element [37],
In the following, we present expressions for the asymptotic Green's functions at a single interface positioned at z = 0 as shown in Fig. 1. The asymptotic Green's function G1 on the air side (i.e. for z > 0 or 0 < θ < π/2 in spherical coordinates) and G2 on the glass side (i.e. for z < 0, or π/2 < θ < π) can be calculated as follows,
The reflection and transmission amplitudes for s and p polarizations can be calculated as,
From a physical point of view the Green's function from Eq. (6), describes the fields emitted from a mesh element at the position to the far field on the air side, while in Eq. (7) describes fields transmitted into the glass side. In Eq. (6) the first two terms inside the brackets describe p and s polarized waves that are propagating into the far field directly and the last two terms describe waves propagating in the same direction after having been reflected off the air-glass interface, while in Eq. (7) the Green's function only involves waves that are transmitted through the air-glass interface.
3. Results and discussion
Figure 2 shows total scattering spectra for nanowires calculated in the three different environments air, glass and air-glass, respectively (for the air-glass case, spectra represent the total scattering to the glass side). The scattering from thin nanowires (R = 40 nm) displays a series of pronounced resonance peaks and, as we will see, the nanowire acts like a Fabry-Perot cavity for plasmons. Upon an increase of the wire thickness (green and blue curves), regardless of the environment, the resonances are weakened and almost completely vanish for R = 160 nm (blue dash-dotted lines).
Fig. 2
Experimental scattering spectra for supported silver wires of different dimensions are summarized in Fig. 3 . Propagating plasmons were in this case excited by focusing a fiber-coupled white-light source onto one end of a wire, which results in excitation of plasmon resonances of both even and odd symmetry. The scattering from the output end was then collected by the same objective (60 × NA = 1.49 oil immersion) and sent to a fiber-coupled spectrometer, more details can be found elsewhere [32]. Also here, in good agreement with the calculated results, the standing wave resonances become more and more damped with increasing wire diameter, in spite of the somewhat different scattering geometries.
Fig. 3
In order to understand the nanowire resonances it is useful to turn to the dispersion relation for plasmons propagating along an infinite cylinder. Figures 4(a) –4(c) show such dispersion relations for Ag cylinders with radius R = 40 nm, R = 80 nm and R = 160 nm, respectively. The solid lines represent the dispersion relation for TM0 modes of a cylinder in a homogeneous environment [15] found from the solution of8, 29]
Fig. 4
For thin wires (Fig. 4(a)), the dispersion relations extracted from the near field agrees very well with the analytic results derived from Eq. (13). As expected, the dispersion curve for a plasmon running along a wire in air (red lines) falls below the air light line (black dashed line), while for a wire in glass (green lines) it falls below the glass light line (black dashed-dotted line). Importantly, the case of the supported nanowire is very well approximated by a plasmon propagating along a wire immersed in a medium with refractive index n = 1.25, i.e. the average of the air and glass refractive indices. This result corroborates the refractive index averaging approximation used in many previous simulations of thin supported plasmonic nanoantennas, such as those in references [39–41]
For the thicker nanowires (Figs. 4(b), 4(c)), the plasmon dispersions on wires in the homogeneous media fall closer to the air and glass light lines, respectively. Effectively, we have a higher plasmon energy for thicker wires as a result of stronger restoring forces. However, the dispersion relation for the supported nanowires no longer follow the analytical solution calculated with an average refractive index, n = 1.25. As we will see, not only charge oscillations along the wire play a role as the wire gets thicker. Instead, other degrees of freedom gain importance and the fields at the top and the bottom of the wire becomes more and more decoupled. To roughly distinguish between thin and thick wires in this context, we compare the wire circumference (which is about 250 nm, 500 nm, and 1000 nm, respectively, for the wire radii we consider here) with the plasmon wavelength (2π/k||), which here lies in the interval 400-600 nm.
Squares in Figs. 4(a), 4(b) show the dispersion relations for the two thinnest wires calculated from the experimental standing wave profiles spectra in Fig. 3 using Eq. (14), where we have to assume the resonance order for those wires (as shown in the Fig. 3). The agreement between experimental and calculated dispersions is very good for thin wires.
Turning to the calculated near-field patterns, Figs. 5(a) –5(c) show the intensity of the total fields calculated for thin nanowires (R = 40 nm) in air, glass and at the air-glass interface at wavelengths 745 nm, 751 nm and 763 nm, respectively. These field patterns show in a very clear way the existence of the Fabry-Perot resonances discussed above, and it is possible to find the mode order l of each of the peaks seen in the spectra by counting the number of nodes in the near field intensity (the mode order is shown above each resonance peak in Fig. 2). At approximately equal photon energies, the nanowires embedded in glass yields the highest mode order l = 27, the nanowires in air yields the lowest mode order, l = 17, while the order of the resonance for supported nanowire is l = 21. In terms of SPP wavelengths we thus have We see that the plasmon fields at the top (air) and bottom (glass) edges of the nanowire are in phase with each other. This means that in the case of a thin supported nanowire it is mainly the cylindrically symmetric plasmons (with an azimuthal quantum number m = 0) that are excited. Comparing the different dielectric environments in Fig. 5, the nanowires embedded in air gives the largest field enhancement. The fields penetrate more easily into the metal for a denser surrounding medium leading to a decrease in the field enhancement for the wires embedded in glass. For supported nanowires the strongest fields appear near the glass interface due to the well known image dipole interaction.
Fig. 5
Figure 5(e) shows calculated results for the far field scattering to the glass side on the Fourier plane for the supported nanowire at free-space wavelength λ = 763 nm, where kx = kglass sin(θ) cos(φ), ky = kglass sin(θ) sin(φ) and kglass = 2πn / λ is the wave number in glass. The inner green dashed line represents the border (k|| = kair) between propagating and evanescent waves in air, while the green solid line represents the same border (k|| = kglass) for waves in glass. The light that is scattered inside the dashed circle is often termed "allowed" light, while the light between the dashed and the solid circle is termed "forbidden". The scattering is concentrated to in-plane directions that are perpendicular to the nanowire and peaks at angles near the critical angle for the air-glass interface, i.e. 41.8 degrees. This radiation pattern is in agreement with previously published results on emission from nanowires in homogeneous media involving higher order resonance modes [30, 31, 42]. As is known from these publications, the higher order odd resonances in the nanowires radiate mostly perpendicular to the wire orientation, with some weaker side lobes. The currents in the nanowire largely give a radiation pattern similar to that occurring from a chain of dipoles oscillating in phase. In case the incident field hits the wire at an angle, there will be phase differences between the currents along the wire that moves the scattering maximum to a finite kx given by the momentum of the incident photons along the wire. The width of the central lobe (or stripe) along the kx direction is determined by the length of the wire, since the first minimum, according to multi-slit diffraction theory occurs when kx ≈2π/L.
Figure 6(a) , 6(b) show near field intensities of the total field around supported nanowires with radius R = 80 nm and R = 160 nm, respectively. These wires can be characterized as thick (for the photon energy in question) since, as pointed out above, now the wire circumference reaches values, approximately 500 nm and 1000 nm, respectively, that are comparable to, or larger than the plasmon wavelength. Compared to the thin nanowire (Fig. 5(c)), the near field intensity is much weaker here. The field patterns along the top and bottom edges of the wire differ quite a lot in this case, indicating a decoupling between the plasmons at opposite edges of the wire. Consequently, more plasmon modes are involved in forming the field in and around a thicker nanowire than was the case for R = 40 nm. The plasmons appearing here are hybridized modes, primarily between m = 0 and m = 1 modes of a wire in a homogeneous environment.
Fig. 6
Figures 6(d), 6(f) show Fourier images on the glass side for supported nanowires with R = 80 nm and R = 160 nm, respectively. Again, we have a sharp maximum at kx = 0 flanked by rather weak but still visible side lobes. Compared with Fig. 5, we see that with increasing nanowire thickness, more light is scattered inside the dashed circle, i.e. in the "allowed" region. In other words, propagating scattered light dominates over evanescent light for thicker wires. This can be understood from the fact that more and more of the scattering volume is removed from the immediate vicinity of the air-glass interface as the wire radius is increased. Still, if the parts of the wire right next to the surface gave the dominating contributions to the scattering we would not see this trend. While Figs. 6(a) and 6(b) appear to indicate a concentration of the fields to the glass side of the wire, this is the situation outside the wire. However, as can be seen from Eq. (5), what matters in determining the scattered fields is how the electric field inside the wire behave. For the thicker wires, one finds the strongest fields along the top rim of the wire and right near the glass surface as shown in Fig. 6(c), (e).
4. Summary and conclusion
In conclusion, we have investigated far field and near field properties of silver nanowires supported by a glass substrate using a method which calculates differential scattering cross sections based on the total fields inside the wire obtained using a commercial finite element software (Comsol multiphysics 3.5a). For supported thin wires, which are much better resonators than thick wires, we find that the fields on the air and glass sides are in phase with each other. The spectral properties of such wires can be then be understood from the dispersion of cylinder plasmons in a homogeneous environment with a refractive index intermediate between air and glass. However, the dispersion starts to deviate from the average refractive index approximation as the wire diameter increases beyond the plasmon wavelength, because the fields along the different edges of the wire then decouple from each other. Looking at the fields inside the wires, which ultimately are the sources for the scattered light, there are also clear differences between thin and thick wires. In particular, the fields in the thicker wires are mainly concentrated to the top rim of the wire while they are more evenly distributed in a thin wire. Finally, we compared the simulation results with experimentally measured spectra and found an excellent agreement. Further issues that could be addressed using our method include how the shape of the wire-tip influences the optical properties, the question on optical coupling and plasmon propagation between two wires of different shape, length or diameter, and the role of crystal facets and wire imperfections.

Every Christmas Eve without fail, I end up hitting the stores one more time. I'm usually done shopping, but my brother is not. My job is to provide a) directions to Kohl's and b) moral support as he ruthlessly plows through his entire list in two hours.
While you might be a little more on the ball than my brother, we've all gotten unexpected presents that leave us needing a return gift pronto.
Here are a few suggestions for easy, thoughtful last-minute gifts:
1. Gift sets
For a ready-made gift that doesn't scream "corporate," try a popcorn variety pack and a pair of movie tickets or these tasty treats from Starbucks.
For the connoisseur, a beverage gift set is a great choice and easy to find in liquor stores and groceries.
2. DIY Gifts
Check out these quick and easy suggestions from Tree Hugger. Pinterest is another great place to find some DIY inspiration with gift ideas ranging from snacks to artwork!
3. Subscriptions
Magazine subscriptions are a great last-minute idea, since no one expects them to arrive on Christmas. Branch out and give subscriptions to Hulu Plus or TV upgrades like a year of DVR, a premium channel or a sports package.
4. Gift cards (and Saves!)
Always appreciated. Try gift cards for groceries or pay a month of utilities for your favorite college student.
What's your go-to last-minute gift?

When I was in third grade we had to make a presentation teaching the class how to do something. Stumped with what to do, my mother suggested I teach the class how to wrap a present. There was only one problem: I didn't know how to wrap a present.
Ultimately, my paper was a little wrinkled and my corners weren't perfectly crisp, but I successfully demonstrated how to wrap a present in front of my class. Go for extra credit this season with these fun and easy ways to dress up your gifts.
A handful of stamps go a long way! Wrap this year's gifts in brown craft paper and make each wrap job as unique as your loved one.

DIY gift bags & boxes
Feeling really crafty? Make your own gift bags and boxes with supplies you already have! They're a great conversation starter and they'll save you money. We always love a good 2-for-1 deal!

Deloitte's Insights for CFOs provides financial executives a customized resource to help them address the strategic, operational and regulatory issues they face in managing their finance organizations and careers, with top-line digests, research, perspectives and technical analyses.
Consumers anticipate spending 11% more on holiday items in 2015 and many intend to spend more than or the same as last year, according to Deloitte's 2015 Annual Holiday Survey. The expected uptick, which is occurring despite flat income growth, is attributed by Deloitte economists to an improving labor market, increasing home values and lower gas prices. The survey also found that concerns about personal data protection persist. Nevertheless, over half of those surveyed indicate they will continue to patronize retailers that have experienced a data breach.
Consumer product industry executives don't seem to realize the extent to which consumers increasingly factor a company's reputation for protecting their personal information into their purchase decisions, according to the results of a Deloitte LLP survey. Eighty percent of more than 2,000 consumers who responded to the survey say they are more likely to purchase from consumer product companies that they believe protect their personal information.
Growth and other strategic issues facing consumer product (CP) companies today require new approaches in this dynamic marketplace, according to Pat Conroy, vice chairman and U.S. Consumer Products leader, Deloitte LLP. He shares his perspective on the year ahead, identifies trends that might disrupt "business as usual" in 2015 and offers insights that can help companies manage and innovate through the current climate of uncertainty.
Mark Buthman, SVP and CFO of Kimberly-Clark Corporation since 2003, is known for establishing the "Power of a CFO," a mindset to motivate his finance organization of 1,600 people to offer ideas and challenge the status quo. Mr. Buthman, who expects to retire at the end of the year, discusses why it's important to push not only his finance team but also IT, sales, marketing and others, to bring more value to themselves as well as to the company.
Growing the business while meeting consumers' varied preferences has taken Dave Marberger, CFO of Godiva Chocolatier, Inc., beyond finance to strategy, marketing, innovation and technology. Mr. Marberger discusses how he has taken the company from a carve-out to a standalone entity with global aspirations, why he looks for finance talent with softer skills along with technical ones, how he leverages finance to support innovation and facilitating the relationship between finance and IT.
As vice president of Investor Relations at Kraft Foods, Chris Jakubik plays a central role in shaping the company's communications with the world's financial markets, as well as advising senior management. Here, he talks about the importance of realism and "telling it like it is" without spin, understanding the analysts' points of view, and starting with "a clean sheet of paper every time" to building effective investor relations. He also discusses his approach to communicating with activist investors.
Dexter Congbalay, VP of Investor Relations (IR) at Mondelez International, says IR can provide value to the company and shareholders by providing direct engagement and open lines of communication with management and the board, as well as with the investment community. He discusses dealing with activist investors and building external relationships that elicit the "brutal honesty" that helps senior management understand shareholder perspectives.
Many consumer goods companies have been increasing their investments in Latin America recently in an effort to provide products to the region's emerging middle classes. Executives from Owens-Illinois, Inc.; Pactiv LLC; MeadWestvaco Corporation and Tredegar Corporation share their insights about investing in the region, challenges they have encountered and their views on the future of packaging industry opportunities in Latin America.
Through larger, strategic M&A deals, the wholesale distribution industry could potentially overcome obstacles that have hobbled it, such as limited domestic expansion opportunities, regulatory constraints and structural impediments, and gain advantages of scale. Using a framework that takes into consideration the company's strategic posture and models likely scenarios can help wholesale distributors decide whether transformational M&A should be part of their growth strategy.
Economic headwinds in major developing economies require consumer product companies to work harder in their quest for profitable growth. With consumers embracing technology to shop, however, digital commerce has the potential to transform the industry. Pat Conroy, vice chairman and U.S. Consumer Products leader, Deloitte LLP, shares his perspective on the year ahead and some tips that may help companies grow in the current climate of uncertainty.

chris: American History & How slavery happened in America. During the Almoravid Empire 1062-1269 southern Spain and western Africa were part of the same country. As Christians regained control of Iberia in the 1300's and 1400's they were well aware of territory of the Almoravids and later the Mali Empire in the south. With Spain's retaking of Iberia, several caliphates and emirates popped up along northwest Africa. Spain was fighting the Mali empire and the Mali empire was enslaving black Africans and converting them to Islam to fight Spain, Spain sailed around south of the Mali empire and set up a fort and enslaved black Africans from the Dahomey, Ebo, and Yoruba tribes and converted them to Christianity to fight the Mali empire. England went through the Protestant reformation in the 1600s and went to war with Ireland and Spain even attacked England because of it. England didn't take over Serra Leone or South Africa until 1800 and slave imports to the US ended in 1807.... the south wasn't even settled until after 1814 and the war of 1812/creek Indian war. Black slavery in the US happened mostly because after the US revolution, France had a revolution and Haitian slaves revolted during the Napoleonic wars. A short history of Haiti - Christopher Columbus landed in Santo Domingo 1492, all of Santo Domingo was under Spanish control in the 1500s and 1600s, In the early 1700s France took half of the island in a war with Spain and named it Haiti. France shipped some slaves from Haiti to French mainland colonies in Mobile, Biloxi and New Orleans in the early 1700's. In 1763 The British took Mobile and Biloxi but in 1763 there were less than 1000 inhabitants at Mobile, which was for a time in the early 1700's the Capital of French Louisiana, and only a few hundred of that were slaves. In 1780, during the American revolution Spain took Mobile, but The United States claimed Mobile, and eventually worked out an agreement. Belize was founded as a Spanish settlement originally; but was small and taken over by English pirates. Jamaica is right beside Belize. The Caribbean accent is a pirate accent. The English bought only a few African slaves from Spain and Portugal. Pirates sold most slaves in ports in Jamaica with some going to ports in Carolina in the early 1700's after taking them from French and Spanish ships in the Caribbean. Pirates also robbed and looted entire cities in Carolina, such as Black Beards siege of a town in present day South Carolina. Black Beard (Edward Teach) received a royal pardon in 1717, but went back to piracy and was killed in a battle with troops sent by the governor of Virginia in 1718. Black Beards infamous ship "Queen Anne's Revenge" was a French merchant ship Black Beard took from the French and outfitted with 40 cannons. In the 1790s France took Santo Domingo also. Shortly after France had a revolution and over threw King Louis XVI and attempted to have democracy, but failed and a military leader, Napoleon Bonaparte named himself emperor of France. With France at war in Europe, Slaves in Haiti revolted in 1801, and many of the white Haitian fled to the US. In 1803, France sold the Louisiana Purchase to the US. In 1807 the US and Great Britain agreed to ban slave imports, and the US was attempting to settle the southeast. In 1809 France made a treaty with Spain and ceded Santo Domingo back to Spain and many black Haitians fearing re-enslavement or death fled to the US, a slave revolt followed in French Speaking New Orleans in 1811 and was put down, and many of the black Haitians were re-enslaved and white Haitians tried to establish slavery in the US. After settling of the south began in 1815, the United States and Britain, who controlled Montreal, set out a plan to send as many people to Africa as wanted to go. The British and US wanted a way to keep Spain from re-establishing in Serra Leone. In 1822 ships set sail for Liberia with former slaves. Spain tried to gain influence and through economic alliances with the slave trade after the US ended up with Florida and Texas in 1845 and California in 1850. Slavery increased after rapidly in the 1840s and was the top political debate of the 1850's. When the federal government pushed to abolish slavery completely, slave owners who had gotten political pressed the issue of states' rights. The Whig political party was oppose to slavery but gridlocked on states' rights. In the late 1850's the Whig party split in half and some began the Republican Party as oppose to slavery. In 1860 Abraham Lincoln was elected on the platform to abolish slavery, the civil war started the following year. One of Abrahams Lincoln's most famous speeches was "Every man has the right to be free, but no man has the right to do what is wrong." Slavery existed in both Canada and Mexico. Slavery In New York got banned right after it did in Canada and that was the 1830s, the south got settled after 1838 and a connection to New Orleans and slavery kicked in in the south. 15,000 Native Americans stayed in southeast after 1838 and by 1860 there was admiration for Andrew Jacksons "states right' democratic party, but the same democratic states rights ideas created resentment also for the same federal governments forced removal of American Indians, which was caused by Andrew Jackson. Having family spread across the southeast, the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and Seminole sided with the south, including a Cherokee General in the Confederate army. The north as well had American Indians, and after the war's end, Native Americans also expanded west into the age of cowboys and railroads. In 1863 the President of Haiti sold Haiti back into Spanish colonial rule. 600,000 US citizens died in the Civil War 200,000 slaves were freed (These numbers are Estimates as the actual numbers and censuses have been distorted to drive the slave population into the millions and completely remove American Indians. According to a population census for Alabama alone the slave population shows over 400,000 slaves in 1860. This would of been impossible as only one man was ever a major slave trader in Alabama, Nathanial Whitfield, and his Father in law (Augustus Foshee) is known to of only had 137 slaves, and most slavery didn't exist until after 1838. To add to that 80% of all slaves in Alabama existed in only 5 counties along the Tombigbee River in the extreme western part of the state, and that was Indian Territory until 1838. Again Native Americans have been removed from that 1860 population census. According to a census taken in 1832, leading up to the Trail of Tears, there were 8,522 Creek Indians, 457 of which were slaves, in the eastern third of Alabama. Only around half of those went on the journey to Oklahoma and the remaining would of been counted as American citizens).

OLNEY, Md. (WJLA) - At Olney Elementary School, most students have been to the principal's office before class even starts. Well, not the room itself exactly, but a more accessible space.
"We are mobile," Principal Carla Glawe says. Two years ago, she traded her desk and chair for a metal television cart.
"I have my laptop, walkie-talkie, hallway compliments, I've got 'high fives'," she says.
From the first bell to the last, you can find her rolling through hallways or speaking in classrooms. She knows almost every student by name, but admits some of the Kindergarten students are tough.
"They're our newest learners," she says.
Glawe sees their struggles, hears their accomplishments.
"You get to talk to the kids and find out, 'Hey, I moved up a reading level Mrs. Glawe'," she says. It's a notion so infectious, her assistant principal has given up her office, too.
"A lot of it is about being innovative and it's just like thinking out of the box in terms of how we can be more efficient," Assistant Principal Cindy Chichester says.
For students it's a benefit beyond efficiency.
"I feel like I'm a good person," says Ryan Britschge, a student at the school.
And when you see that reaction, it seems leaving the office behind was her best move.
"We are building relationships with kids," Glawe says. "That is what I love about being mobile."

Yeah,still finishing other entrys but..Ngamer do you have Kos-Mos_Lover(David) added on twitter? His should be Kosmos_Lover and you probably will have to DM him about his facebook.(If you use that anyway.)Well for now I am unsure if he'll be signing up for pixlbit as of yet but I can understand why he doesn't feel up to it,pixilbit kinda seeming like a sort of little brother to a site like 1Up,not as many profile options and layout seems a tad rough around the edges..Which is why I mention him seeing aa how he hasn't updated.
Both on twitter and facebook, and I don't mostly use facebook often but if he's going to use it I'm all up for it. And yep, PixlBit seems like that, though it was just a suggestion for blogging but I do plan to use tumblr for other post. I'll give PixlBit a shot, who knows maybe it'll grow on us but if you find a place let me know.
Yeah it seems like if you wish to catch up with him he's mainly around those two sites,yeah i imagine as people wander around pixlbit it will have a time to grow and evolve..Funny I think I just now noticed there doesn;t seem to be a message system there..Heh guess I'll have to link my twitter and tumblr there for now.

After suffering from severe menstrual cramps for 13 or so years, I have finally found a product that helps with my pain. I have tried so many other products (painkillers, herbs, teas, hormones, you name it), but these tablets have helped me the most. I still get bad pain, but I can now manage the pain by taking half the amount of painkillers that I used to take.
