Further readings for the Nikon 1 S1
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Panasonic's entry-level DMC GF6 sees a return to a more conventional control layout and adds several useful features including a touch-sensitive, tilting monitor and easy wireless connectivity with smart-phones via WiFi with NFC capability. The new camera also features a 16-Mpix sensor, but just how well does it perform in our labs?
Launched in January 2013 the Nikon 1 S1 is a new product line in the Nikon 1 Hybrid Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens series. Targeted at advanced through to expert enthusiasts after a lightweight camera for photography daytrips and holidays the Nikon 1 S1 features a clean minimalistic design. Utilizing a smaller sensor and lower resolution than most of the Hybrid competition though how will it fare in the DxOMark Sensor Scores?
Released just a month after being announced at CES 2013 alongside a new lower-end sibling (the Nikon 1 S1), the new Nikon 1 J3 now takes its place as the midrange model in Nikon's lineup of interchangeable lens compact cameras, with a list price of $599.95 (with a 10-30mm kit lens). The J3 is an update to the Nikon 1 J2, which came out only five months prior to the announcement of the J3 and S1 and had been the camera maker's lower-end offering.
CES has once again provided camera manufacturers with a launch pad for their latest round of consumer models. Nikon are no exception and have used the show to debut the latest models in the Nikon 1-Series line-up of interchangeable lens compact cameras. The 1 S1 and J3 feature 10.1- and 14.2-megapixel sensors respectively.

Sweet surprise from 3D printer
Printers that churn out confectionery rather than paper documents have gone on display at the world's largest consumer electronics show.
The 3D printers can produce sweets using chocolate or sugar flavoured with vanilla, mint, sour apple, cherry and watermelon flavours and are capable of creating complicated shapes that are usually difficult to mould.
At present 3D printers are more often used for creating design prototypes and models using plastics and metal.
The smaller, countertop Chefjet can only produce monochrome creations but the bigger and more expensive Chefjet Pro can churn out treats in full colour using an inkjet head filled with food colouring instead of printer ink.
Technology company 3D Systems is displaying the machines at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Both printers are expected to go on sale in the second half of the year, with the Chefjet priced at 5,000 US dollars (£3,034) and the Chefjet Pro at 10,000 US dollars (£6,068)
Kyle von Hasseln, the co-founder of Sugar Labs, who designed the prototypes for the printers, said they would one day be in family homes.
Standing in front of a printer creating a chocolate sculpture, he added: "These are the very first commercially-certified, kitchen-ready 3D food printers.
"We spread a very fine layer of sugar and cocoa powder and an inkjet head that is just like the one in a desktop 2D printer squirts out cocoa butter and makes chocolate in real time and creates a chocolate sculpture in real time.
"The geometry is very precise and very mathematical and that is traditionally a very difficult thing to do with frosting or chocolate, and can't be done with a traditional mould. We can make interlocked shapes which is a very exciting possibility for candy."
He added: "One day they will definitely be in homes, these first ones are commercially-certified professional printers for bakeries and restaurants.
"But any kind of food is very possible to 3D print, anything that can be powderised and printed, so savoury is in the future for everyone."
The printers will be accompanied by a Digital Cookbook to help customers make the sweets..
The American-based company 3D Systems already produces printers for plastics, metals and ceramics.

Turning analysis into action focus of INTERPOL workshop for Americas and Southeast Asia
MONTREAL, Canada – More than 50 senior law enforcement officials from the Americas and Southeast Asia have gathered in Montreal for a criminal intelligence workshop focused on combating drug trafficking and organized crime.
The three-day workshop (5-7 March), organized by INTERPOL in collaboration with the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and the National Central Bureau in Ottawa, will also highlight counter-terrorism issues and the connections between the different types of crimes.
The meeting aims to increase awareness of the scale of illicit drug trafficking and organized crime, share national perspectives on the current state of criminal intelligence analysis and look at the legal tools and operational aspects of international cooperation and mutual assistance. Participants will learn common analytical techniques, consider the latest technology tools and discuss practical applications of intelligence analysis in their regions.
"Intelligence is key to any kind of investigation, whether it is in the field of counter-terrorism, organized crime or trafficking in drugs," said INTERPOL's Executive Director of Police Services, Jean-Michel Louboutin.
"I see dedicated experts and professionals, coming from different backgrounds and different regions of the world, gathered around a shared objective: making the most of international cooperation to best address these transnational threats," concluded Mr Louboutin.
By bringing together law enforcement officers from different regions to share experiences and best practices, the workshop seeks to increase analytical capacity, standardize how criminal intelligence is used worldwide and promote international cooperation.
"Combating these types of crime requires an integrated and intelligence-led approach. This dialogue with our international partners allows us to draw a more comprehensive picture of the organized crime landscape," said RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson, who is also a Delegate for the Americas on INTERPOL's Executive Committee.
"Through these exchanges with the larger policing community, we can mutually enhance our analytical, investigative and preventive techniques by collaboratively fighting criminality at its highest level on an international scope.''
"This capacity building programme will strengthen the skills of the international law enforcement community, in order to enhance our collective ability to utilize best practices in the processing and sharing of criminal intelligence. The ultimate goal is to turn those skills into strong operational investigations of INTERPOL Red Notice targets and other criminal investigations," INTERPOL's Director of Capacity Building and Training, Dale Sheehan said.
Countries and territories attending the workshop are: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curaçao, Dominican Republic, Dominica, El Salvador, Indonesia, Jamaica, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Panama, Philippines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Sint Maarten, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turks and Caicos.

As if Beyoncé's song "Partition," a hot-and-heavy dance track about making out in the backseat of a chauffeured car, wasn't racy enough, Los Angeles actor Adrian Anchondo has made an even wilder recording and video for the song. With the assistance of a blond-wigged male Beyoncé impersonator, Adrian transforms the song into a parody about their love for In-N-Out Burger.
[Watch "In-N-Out Mission" Video]
The video closely models Beyoncé's original, opening during a breakfast scene in a kitchen. In Beyoncé's version, she attempts to distract Jay Z from reading the newspaper, flashing her cleavage and flirtatiously dropping her napkin onto the floor. During "In-N-Out Mission," the faux Beyoncé becomes distracted by a chocolate-sprinkled donut when the man of the house walks in and drops a bag of burgers on the table.
As the parody kicks in, the Beyoncé wannabe sings: "Drive me out on an In-N-Out mission, please/I need me a Double Double with some cheese." When they arrive at the fast food eatery, they're greeted by an In-N-Out employee, who is standing in the middle of driveway wearing a company hat, ankle boots, and an apron, mimicking one of Beyoncé's scenes.
The chorus has been changed from Beyoncé's seductive pleas to an In-N-Out cashier's suggestive rundown of the menu selection. "Just want to give you them buns you like/Them fresh-cut fries you like," they sing on the chorus. "Kinda shake you like is right here with me."
One of the characters from the spoof recreates a scene where Beyoncé's silhouette poses on a chair in front of a purple backdrop. Though the actress makes her best effort to copy Bey, she abandons the sexy posturing to instead enjoy some French fries and a shake.
In February, this sae comedic team poked fun of Beyoncé and Jay Z's "Drunk In Love." In their "Dunkin Love" beach video, they professed their addiction to Dunkin Donuts, and once again, the sexual innuendos were plentiful.

CRIMESTOPPERS: Sussex CCC take membership of the Golden Handcuff Club27-Apr-2012
Sussex County Cricket Club are now members of the Sussex Crimestoppers' Golden Handcuff Club, demonstrating their commitment to helping reduce crime in Sussex, and best-selling crime novelist Peter James has handed over a pair of Golden Handcuffs at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove.
Sussex Crimestoppers is the regional branch of the independent charity Crimestoppers and this unique scheme, in the shape of the Golden Handcuff Club, provides organisations with the opportunity to both show their commitment to the communities of Sussex and to help maintain the vital work of the charity.
Peter James is the co-patron of Sussex Crimestoppers and his success with crime novels over the past thirty years has prompted his support of the scheme whilst playing a part in reducing crime in the County.
The image below shows Peter presenting Sussex CCC's President Bryan Bedson with the Golden Handcuffs yesterday at Day One of the LV=County Championship match against Warwickshire at The PROBIZ.
Sussex's Communications and Marketing Manager Trevor Mould said, "Sussex CCC continue to be focused on reducing crime in the community and we are only too happy to join the Golden Handcuff Club and support the excellent work that Sussex Crimestoppers carry out in the County."

Happy Earth Day! I don't know about you, but Earth Day has been around for as long as I've been alive. That's longer than Martin Luther King Day even, which is almost as old as Christmas.
Recently, I heard someone talking about the first Earth Day in reverent tones. Before Earth Day, this person had never experienced a bunch of people getting together and caring about something, especially something big and important like the whole damn planet. So it's nice to know that Earth Day makes a lot of people feel good.
But then making people feel good is kind of the problem with Earth Day. It's not so much for hard-core environmentalists—they're so dour and gloomy doomy all the time that if they feel genuinely good, just one day out of the year, we could probably harvest significant solar energy out of it—but for regular folks. Earth Day is like celebrating a diet on which you never followed through. I'm talking about all of us who think we're saving the world by buying fair trade coffee and organic vegetables, recycling everything, driving hybrid cars and paying Public Service Company of New Mexico extra so we can pretend our electricity comes from wind power.
I'm not saying, exactly, that millions upon millions have been suckered by "greenwashing" but, well, if PT Barnum could have gone into a business other than circuses, it would have been environmentally friendly products and services.
Most of us in the US who think of ourselves as conscientious about the environment are environmentalists "lite," pretty much the diet soda version. We're happy to support the cause, so long as it makes us feel good and we don't have to read the label too closely.
We buy "fair trade" coffee, but we don't really know what that means or if the program is effective. Great logo, though. "Organic," now a technical term regulated and licensed by the USDA, is more instructive than "natural," which has no legal meaning whatsoever, but it doesn't guarantee any kind of energy efficiency in its manufacture or distribution. In many cases, recycling is more of a guilt-assuager than a viable technique for productive reuse, and hybrid electric vehicles, like nuclear energy, may present more disposal problems than they are worth.
That's the tip of the iceberg. Those cool, feel-good Energy Star rating stickers that make you glow with pride whenever you buy a new dishwasher or refrigerator are more often earned on the manufacturer's say-so than on independent verification. Clean coal is a filthy lie, even if it powers an electric car and even if President Obama says it. We've slowly awakened to the evils of plastic water bottles, but how many people are willing to drink tap water or put pressure on companies to use and reuse uniform glass bottles?
At the same time, diet-environmentalists will happily oppose what's good for them because of urban legends. For the last time, people, windmills don't kill birds. Well, OK, birds do sometimes die as a result of flying into windmills, but each year more birds are killed by flying into glass windows, colliding with cars and loitering too close to house cats. So, if you're really concerned about the birds, give up your cat, car and windows before getting all huffy about windmills.
But Earth Day is not about getting huffy; it's about getting happy. As far as I can tell, it has a lot to do with face paint and lame crafts. There's nothing inherently wrong with the idea of anointing a day to celebrate the earth and to bring awareness to a host of tangled issues, except for the tendency of such days to become placeholders for any real action. Eventually, they just become good days to host a BBQ. Uncomfortable with racism, oppression or the erosion of civil rights? Good thing we've got MLK Day to galvanize us around those issues. On Labor Day, I can practically feel the love and support for unions just oozing out of my fellow Americans. May Day is just too commie for this country but, then again, we wouldn't ever know or care what it stood for, so long as there were hot dogs.
The list of inane days dedicated to inane things by New Mexico governors and mayors is mind-boggling. It's a good way to make some small, crazy special interest group shut up and go away: Hey, we've officially named today for you!—now scram.
By all means, enjoy Earth Day. Plant a tree, pick up trash. Hell, bust out some non-toxic, naturally foraged, locally-made face paint if you really want. After all, Earth Day is kind of a holy day in Santa Fe. We have Catholic Mass, pueblo feast days, countless deep-rooted traditional festivities from many cultures, so I suppose we should honor the blander, whiter Earth Day as well.
But wake up the next day ready to care more about reality than about logos, slogans and brand names. Wake up skeptical about feel-good environmentalism. Wake up ready to embrace the day when you have to drink your recycled toilet water.
Happy Earth Day! I don't know about you, but Earth Day has been around for as long as I've been alive. That's longer than Martin Luther King Day even, which is almost as old as Christmas.

Slideshow: Road to 400G Ethernet
3 comments
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Engineers will gather in Victoria, British Columbia, next month to start defining a version of Ethernet capable of data rates up to 400 Gbits/second. The effort could take four years and faces a broad set of hurdles, outlined by the groups acting chairman in a talk here.
Facebook and other large data-center operators called for terabit Ethernet as early as 2009 in the face of rising Web traffic. Engineers pushed back--arguing the technology is far too expensive--and are rallying around the 400G effort.
Products using serdes with individual lanes running at 25G are just now hitting the market and costs of bundling more than 16 lanes is prohibitive, said John DAmbrosia, acting chair of the new 400G group. Its a question of doing it at the right cost so the cost per bit continues to fall, he said.

Ethernet users are an increasingly broad collection of carriers, businesses and large data-center operators that want links of various distances and types to servers, racks and pods. The landscape for what people are building is changing, he said.
Given the wide set of options, the group initially will need to focus, addressing the most pressing needs first, DAmbrosia said. The reality is we will ultimately do all of it, not necessarily in this project, but we have to at least consider everything simultaneously so that we define something thats flexible and can evolve, he said.

DAmbrosia put out a broad call for participation. You have to get involved--the decisions are not made by the IEEE, they are made at the IEEE by you, he said.

As we mourn and celebrate the passing of our Teacher, Nishijima Roshi ...
... Bro. Brad uploaded this, Nishijima Roshi's very refreshing views (I feel) on death and life ...
"Even though people are usually thinking that ... when we have died it is very sad, but Buddhism thinks that life and death are just the state at this present moment. ... So, according to Buddhist theory, we do not love life to live too much, we do not fear to die so much ... Therefore, when we are living, we can enjoy living. When we die, we can enjoy dying."
"Fortunately, we have the end of life, that is the entering of goal. So ... existence of death is also a very well condition."
"Sometimes foam appears on the surface of the river, and flows for awhile ... And in such situation, foam comes back to the water of the river. So, water exists but the foam has vanished. That is human life I think. Thus the water exists forever, but the foam has disappeared and does not appear again.

As the highly complex logistics system, container terminal logistics systems play an increasingly important role in modern international logistics, and therefore their scheduling and decision-making process of much significance to the operation and competitiveness of harbors. In this paper, the handling, stacking and transportation in CTLS are regarded as a kind of generalized computing and compared with the working in general computer systems, whereupon the Harvard architecture and AnyLogic agent-based computing paradigm are fused to model the operational processing of CTLS, and the kernel thoughts in computer organization, architecture and operating system are introduced into CTLS to support and evaluate container terminal planning, scheduling and decision-making.» Mehr lesen
An integrated pedestrian behavior model based on extended decision field theory and social force model Hui Xi, Young-Jun Son (The University of Arizona); Seungho Lee (Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.). Proceedings of the 2010 Winter Simulation Conference.
The integrated pedestrian simulation model proposed in this paper allows us to develop a more realistic simulation of pedestrian behaviors at a shopping mall. In particular, consideration of vision of each individual allows us to mimic physical and psychological interactions among the people and the environment more realistically. Similarly, consideration of extended Decision Field Theory allowed us to represent human decision deliberation process. In addition, consideration of a rich set of attributes for the environment as well as people has allowed us to mimic a real shopping mall environment closely. The constructed simulation using AnyLogic software was utilized to conduct several experiments on performance of the mall and scalability of the proposed model.» Mehr lesen
Supply chain and hybrid modeling: the Panama Canal operations and it's salinity diffusion Mario Marin, Yanshen Zhu (American Technologika); Luz Alba Andrade, Erwin Atencio, Carlos Boya (Universidad La Latina); Carlos Mendizabal (Universidad Tecnologica de Panama). Proceedings of the 2010 Winter Simulation Conference.
This paper deals with the simulation modeling of the service supply chain and the salinity and its diffusion in the Panama Canal. An operational supply chain model was created using discrete-event simulation. Once complete, a component based on differential equations was added to the model to investigate the intrusion of salt and the resulting salinity diffusion into the lakes of the canal. This component was implemented in the AnyLogic simulation modeling environment by taking advantage of the concept of hybrid modeling that is embedded in AnyLogic.» Mehr lesen

PRE-SEASON: Sussex announce squad to travel to Dubai19-Mar-2012
Sussex CCC have announced their squad to travel to Dubai for their pre-season preparations.
Michael Yardy will be leading the side as they fly out to the UAE on Tuesday 20th March and will play initially in the Emirates Airlines Twenty20 2012 Tournament, alongside Durham Dynamos, Lancashire Lightning and an MCC XI with the matches taking place at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai.
The tour's primary objective though will be preparing the squad for four-day cricket with a program of practise sessions planned, culminating in a two-day game against Durham.
A 15-man playing squad has been named for the trip, which has a similar look to it as the one that travelled to the Caribbean T20 in January, with Lewis Hatchett and Luke Wells both added to the list after missing the tournament due to playing abroad at the time.
A number of members of the squad will be missing from the preparations though with both Monty Panesar and Matt Prior touring Sri Lanka with England, and Luke Wright playing in South Africa's domestic T20 tournament. Murray Goodwin is due to return from Australia before the new season begins whilst Ed Joyce is currently with Ireland in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifiers.
Sussex will also take a near full complement of Coaching Staff to the UAE and Club Coach Mark Davis reiterated the benefits of a warm pre-season, "We've been training indoors at Hove but we're looking forward to going away and getting some proper outdoor practice in the middle.
"We know what the conditions will be like there and we can really press on with our preparations ahead of the new season."
The Sussex squad is as follows:
WA Adkin
Amjad Khan
JE Anyon
WAT Beer
BC Brown
JS Gatting
LJ Hatchett
AJ Hodd
CJ Liddle
MW Machan
CD Nash
Naveed Arif Gondal
LWP Wells

WOMENS: Sussex see off Surrey in first Championship match30-May-2012
The Sussex Women put in an emphatic performance on Sunday at the Kia Oval against Surrey to seal a win in their first County Championship match of the season.
Having won the toss, Sussex elected to bat and openers Georgia Adams and Caroline Atkins started strongly, taking on the bowlers from ball one. With the outfield like lighting, Adams and Atkins worked the ball into the gaps and hit boundaries regularly to put on a partnership of 68 before Atkins was caught for 32.
Sarah Taylor came to the crease, scoring freely and quickly. After putting on 40 for the second wicket, Adams was run out with a direct hit from mid off for 45. Arran Brindle and Taylor opened up more and attacked the Surrey bowlers with some clever batting, which resulted in them taking the batting powerplay early. Brindle was caught at square leg in the power play for 40 off 28 balls.
Holly Colvin joined Taylor in the middle and both built a strong partnership, playing some intelligent shots around the ground and manipulating the field, which resulted in Taylor reaching 50. She continued to be strong and after facing just 83 balls Sarah reached her first senior hundred for Sussex.
Colvin soon followed Taylor with 50 off 48 balls, but with two balls remaining Taylor was caught for 110. Colvin and Taylor put on 133 together, with Colvin finishing on 58 and Sussex had put on an impressive total of 322 on the board.
Sussex started well with the ball, with Alexia Walker taking a wicket in the 5th ball of the first over, bowling Holly Knight for a duck. Surrey opener Ebony-Jewel Rainford-Brent was scoring at a quick rate; hitting boundaries at regular stages, until Izi Noakes came into the attack and snared her for 37 off 39 balls.
Sussex kept the field tight which built the pressure and wickets falling at regular times, with Colvin, Georgia Elwiss and Brindle doing the main damage with the ball. The visitors managed to keep Surrey down to 180 for 8 in their 50 overs and winning their first County Championship match of the season by 142 runs. Sussex Women's Coach, Charlotte Burton said, "It was the perfect start to the season, everyone performed with both bat and ball and it was pleasing to see all our top order getting runs on the board in the first match.
"Sarah's hundred was one of the best I have seen her get; she played with complete ease and flare. We now need to keep the momentum of Sunday's game and take it with us to Yorkshire."
The Women's next match is on Bank Holiday Monday, away to Yorkshire at Harrogate

Adafruit: 16x24 Red LED Matrix Panel
Adafruit's 16x24 Red LED Matrix Panel uses the HT1632C LED driver. The driver has the ability to dim and flash and they can be chained together to produce large displays. The code developed for this Mini Project is based on Adafruit's original HT1632 github repository originally written for Arduino. It also uses a modified version of BoneHeader.h to support C++ originally from Andrew Miller's github repository.
Inputs and Outputs
A single matrix panel can be powered directly off of the BeagleBone's 3.3V supply (running only on USB power). The interface is a bit-banged serial interface requiring 3 pins: chip select (active low), write clock (rising edge trigger), and data. The HT1632C also has a read pin, but it is not populated or used in the example code developed for this Mini Project.
Bone Usage
Sample C++ Code
The code shown below is sample code to demonstrate the 16x24 Red LED Matrix Panel.
This code example and the required resources can be found in this repository
