Phase AF CCD Die Shot

Back in 2014 we were investigating the AF/Lens system at NikonHacker. To understand the operation of phase AF, some efforts were put into the AF sensor itself. There were leaked D1X schematics indicating 3 linear CCDs made by Sony (ILX105 and ILX107) are incorporated into the MultiCAM-1300. In the old days, a single chip could not handle that many segments of linear pixels on a single die, so that the light path had to be split and focused onto multiple chips. The same is done on MultiCAM-2000 which uses 3 chips as well.

Then from the D200 until D90, a single chip ILX148 is used to handle all 11 focus points in the new CAM-1000 AF system. Some teardown serves as great resources even showing a die photo of that sensor. Missing in between was the D70’s CAM-900. Later I came across a cheap working sensor stripped from a broken D70 and decided to take a look.

The entire module came in with dust, clearly from a broken camera fall onto the ground. I tore the 2 duct tap covering the slit between the chip and plastic optical assembly. The opening is a metal mask outlying the light transmission boundaries of 5 focus points.

Then I use a knife to peer off the glue on the sides, exposing the reddish epoxy adhesion between the chip carrier and the optical module. A gentle pull separated them apart.

The Sensor

Sensor Die

Now the AF CCD is exposed! You could see a total of 12 linear CCD segments forming 6 pairs.

Let’s look at the back side of the optical assembly to understand why.

It appears each focus point has a pair of microlenses. The center cross-type use 2 linear segments in perpendicular, thus 4 lenslets. That gives you total of 6 pairs.

To illustrate how this works, I cover the focus plane with a scratching paper and point its front toward a light bulb. And here’s the image.

The pattern matches the layout of linear CCD.

Now we could mimic a high contrast target by covering 2 focus points in half with a sticker.

You could see the 2 lenslets forms a copy of 2 high-contrast edges in the 2 segments.

When this is relayed from a photographic lens, the distance between the 2 high-contrast edges will vary depending on the defocus value. The firmware A then uses some sort of cross-correlation algorithm to determine that distance. The distance is then compared against the calibrated value to get the actual defocus amount used to drive the lens AF motor.

So far that’s for the working principle for the phase AF optics. There’s a lot need to dig into the ASM codes of firmware A, and the electronic interface between the AF CCD and the MCU running the codes. Here I decided to desolder the CCD from the flex board. The CCD is packaged inside a CLCC and the contacts form a L-shape covering both side and bottom. It turned out the heat from soldering iron disassociates the wires from flexible board before melting the solder on the bottom. All the contact pads on the flexible board are destroyed.

The backside of the CLCC package has following marking.

It’s a Sony ILX127AA linear CCD.  405 R9KK is the product batch code. “405” indicates it’s made in the 5th week of 2004, around the time of D70 and D70s.

The schematics can be obtained from wiring trace. In the diagram below, VREF is probably 3.3V based on the trace. SD0~3 and STB formed a simple parallel command interface. CLK is the master clock input. The analog output of pixel intensity is on Vout synchronized to SYNC.

Now we could dig into the image sensor die using a microscope. I took more than 50 shot and stitched using a panoramic software. The CCD was manufactured using a very old process node, probably larger than 1 micron.

The charge transfer is based on 2-phase CCD. The total number of pixels is around 996. Considering the metal masked pixels, this number reduces to 912. Thus MultiCam-900 make sense. The greenish regions are the actual photodiodes. The photon generated charge is then transferred to the shaded region on the left or to the top. The charge is then clocked and shifted out to the output amplifier. The three long segments are continuous with dummy pixels in between two correlated pixel regions. The six shorter ones form the left, center and right focus points are broken into two due to the long segments. Thus each shorter one has its own amplifier. The CCD integrates all the input command decoder/segment select/CCD driver logic on chip, as indicated by the vertical grid of synthesized transistors and their metal interconnect wires.

Microscopic survey of recent image sensors

Last year through cooperation with ChipMod studio, we obtained multiple die shot images of recent Sony sensors. And in this post we’re going to show some of them. Most of our device identification is based on teardown from various reliable source, such as Chipworks and manufacture repair manual. Or from direct microscopic imaging. For inference, it has to be relied on die signature such as number of bond pad and their relative location, or referred as “bond pad signature”.

Let’s begin. The first one, IMX038AQE from Pentax K-x/K-r. It’s the same silicon die as the AQQ variant seen in Nikon D90 and D5000 DSLR.

Next, let’s take a look at the IMX071AQQ from D5100.

No device marking was found on the die except “SONY”

Bayer layer mark. PAC appears to be Photo Activated Chemical based on patents

Factory test pads

Finally we have the IMX094AQP from D800/D800E. The first image shows the alignment mark near the die boundary. It’s interesting that Nikon customized the cover glass to be a quartz anti-moiré layer. As advertised by Nikon, both D800 and E variant included the vertical separation glass. The glass appeared to be specially AR coated only in the image area, not on the whole plate level. We had never seen this on other Sony sensor, not even on IMX128.

Alignment marks shows duplicated image in vertical direction

Edge of the multilayer AR coating shows uneven gradient

Similar to 071, Sony did not imprint the device marking in the corner. However, I found a pair of mask number related to this device. MM094L and MM094R on the long edge of the silicon die. This pairs of mark appears on Sony full frame sensors only. We later found the pair on IMX235 and IMX128 as well. Based on their location, I realized that it could be a mask code for a stitching pair. A full frame sensor was just too big to fit in the circle of stepper imaging field of view. Thus to make a full sensor, a pair of mask has to be used just like taking your panorama. This was the case for IMX028 when I discovered the non-uniformity on its flat field image.

The microscope I had access to has a 40x objective. However its working distance is too short to prevent direct imaging through the sensor cover glass. With the permission and request by ChipMod studio, I’ll show some more enlarged image onto the pixels themselves.

One interesting sensor was the X-pro1 CMOS harboring a Sony marking code. Again no actual device code.

Xpro-1 IMX165

The corner of Fujifilm X-trans array

Through the central opening on the back of PCB, the package marking register X165A?. The second character is presumably a R or P or F.  It’s possibly IMX165AFE based on IC searching where many distributer had an entry on their listing. Sony usually used the second letter to denote Bayer type, with Q for RGB Bayer and L for mono. F would naturally mean a different pattern like X-trans. The die itself, appears to be the same as the 16MP IMX095 found in Sony NEX F3 and Pentax K-01.

Pentax K-01 uses CLCC version IMX095AQE

It’s possible that Sony fixed the underlying circuit, only altering the last few steps in their back end of line (BEOL) to pattern a different color filter array. This would significantly reduces cost by avoiding making a new sensor. So the question is, when will we see a native monochromatic CMOS in APS-C or larger format?

Next we will have a big one, the IMX235AQR in the Sony A7S, which harbors a 12MP full frame at around 8.5um pixel pitch. ChipMod obtained the following image during mono chip mode. In essence, scraping away the microlens and Bayer layer. The pixel opening is super wide given 55% area fill factor on the metal three layer.

The microlens array appears to shift towards top left of pixel boundary

We also surveyed the IMX183 BSI sensor. Surprisingly, BSI sensor also has a grid on the light sensitive side. After some literature search, the presence of this grid could reduce color crosstalk between adjacent pixels. This is because on BSI sensor light can easily pass to the collecting well in the next pixel when fill factor gets larger and incident angle gets smaller. It is also the reason to employ microlens array to focus light rays on to the pixel center.

IMX183 BSI pixel boundary grid

At the end, we take a look at the old school interline CCDs. ICX413 in Pentax K-100.

And ICX493 using rotated horizontal-vertical transfer registers.

ICX493 employed four phase CCD, with two pixels covering a period. Thus readout is interlined. Charge on odd and even columns are transferred upward then right or downward and left to their respective HCCD (organized vertically) on each side for read out. Then the same is repeated for interline rows.

No AA filter? More of a marketing hype

Back in 2012 when D800 was released, Nikon did a bit tweaking on its antialiasing filter which led to the higher resolution D800E. A pair of birefringent crystal is organized in the parallel 180 degree to cancel out the effect. But were they worth it? As we had disassembled more camera, I decided to write a post on how these filter stack is organized.

ChipMod sent me a pair of filters on the Nikon D600. The IMX128 was scraped during monochromatic mod.

Filter set

Filters from D600: UV-IR, CMOS Cover Glass, Color Correction Stack

Back on D7000, I had shown the filter set consists of an antialiasing layer with UV-IR coating and an ICF stack sandwiched from a wave plate, a color correction glass and an other AA layer. Upon receiving the filter, I initially suspect the same. After closer examination, I found the color correction glass was actually just a single thin layer. No wave plate was glued to it. On a micrometer, it registered 0.484mm thick.

Without a wave plate, it’s impossible to spread a point into four, since the two light rays are in orthogonal polarized directions. I thought a workaround was to cut the AA filter at 45 degree instead of 0 or 90. (Here I refer to the orientation to the direction where two light rays separate. The AA filter is always cut perpendicular to the optical axis, or Z-axis, of the birefringent crystal) As such, the blue color could be mixed with red. However, upon inspection under a microscope, this was again rebutted. It turned out, the first UV-IR layer is only blurring on the vertical direction, leaving moiré as is in the horizontal direction.

AA under Microscope

Calibration slide between objective and AA1mm in 100 division

Stage setup with micrometer ruler in the vertical direction

The spread from this filter is around 5 micron and wider than that in D7k. This corresponds to a thicker crystal at 0.8mm. Now we know for sure D600 only blurs vertically. This gives the advantage to gain a bit higher resolution in the horizontal direction. The DPreview had an excellent resolution test confirming the case. D600 resolve horizontally well beyond 36, albeit accompanying color moiré. But it blurs out at around 34 in vertical directions.

Any other cameras also do this? It turns out that many other cameras follow this trend. To name a few: Sony A7Rii, Nikon D5100, and possibly other low end DSLRs all had a single AA glued to a color correction filter. One possibility is to suppress the already strong false color during video live view rising from row skipping. However, I would still argue the effect of this is minimal given the spread distance close to pixel pitch.

The material for AA filter and wave plate is usually crystalline quartz glass. Many website cites lithium niobate and that is incorrect. An argument floats around that quartz has too small a birefringent value and it requires a thick slice. This is true during the early days of digital imaging where pixel pitch were huge! (>10um) Once a proper calculation is done, the above 0.8mm thick material happens to give a close to 5um displacement. Should lithium niobate be used, it would be way too thin to manufacture. Another interesting property with quartz, or fused silica, is its UV transparent property. Based on the above transmission spectrum scan, the AA substrate material permits UV to pass when measured at corner. Lithium niobate would absorb strongly in UV just like those ICFs. Notice that without any coating, the glass itself reflects 10% of light. Again, for emission nebula imaging, you could keep the UV-IR filter.

Scraping the Bayer, Gain or Loss? – A quantitative analysis of mono-mod sensitivity

When you are deep into astrophotography, you’d probably start doing monochromatic deep sky imaging. A typical choice would be cooled CCD imager. These CCD cameras come in a variety of size format and architecture. The most affordable are interline CCD offered by Sony and Kodak (now ONSemi). Then the expensive full frame CCD requiring mechanical shutter from Kodak. Now however, as most of my previous posts and other similar studies have pointed out, CMOS holds a much better edge comparing to CCD. The only problem is, not a lot of CMOS based monochromatic devices are out there for your choice.

One option is the sCMOS from EEV and Fairchild. But I would imagine those to be expensive. Then CMOSIS who offer global shutter ones with monochrome in various format. But their dark current (~125 eps) and read noise (>10e-) figures are not a clear competitor to CCD in any way. Sony makes small format B/W CMOS but nothing bigger than 1 inch format. As such, we saw many specialized conversion service that scrape away the Bayer filter layer these years. Unfortunately, by doing so, you essentially remove the microlens array which boost the quantum efficiency. So in this post, I’m going to investigate the QE loss and gain with such modification.

Data is kindly provided by ChipMod for this study.

The modification steps involve camera disassembly, filter stack removal, followed by prying open the cover glass, protecting the bonding wire and finally scratching the pixel array. For the last step, the scratching actually happens in layers. We’ll use IMX071 cross section EM image from Chipworks again for illustration.

The surface texture of an image sensor, as described by ChipMod, varies in resistance to scratching. The first layer to come off, are the microlens array indicated in green arrow. This layer is usually made of polymer. Further applying force would strip away the RGB Bayer filter as well, indicated by the red arrow. The yellow region represents the pixel pitch with the blue defining the photodiode boundary. Comparing the length of blue to yellow, we could estimate the fill factor is 50%. Because of the channel stop, overflow drain on the other axis, the fill factor is typically 40%. The gapless microlens above, focus the light rays onto the photodiode to bring the fill factor close to 90%.

The sensor was scraped into 3 vertical regions. From top to bottom, A: the microlens array is removed; B: both layer removed and C: the original one. Comparing A/B tells you how much light the color dye absorbs at that wavelength. A/C tells you how effective are microlens. Finally, B/C gives you the gain/loss after mod.

An identical test condition was set up with a 50F6.5 ED telescope in front of a white screen. 2 wavelength, Ha and Oiii are tested with 7nm FWHM filter in the back. Field is sufficiently flat so center regions are used to calculate mean intensity.

Test result

The microlens array performs as expected, it typically boost QE to 2x in native channels. Even in non-native color channel, the uLens still boost signal by 50% or more. Losing the uLens array is a major downside. But considering the absorption of color dye even in its peak transmission, stripping CFA actually minimize the QE loss. For example, in the red channel of H-alpha, signal was at 64% even though losing the uLens should impact the QE by more than half. The same is more apparent in Oiii wavelength. Because green channel peaks at 550nm, at 500nm the absorption is nearly half for this particular sensor. Thus the net result is no different from the original sensor.

In conclusion, mono-mod sacrifices some QE for resolution and all spectrum sensitivity. My estimation puts final peak QE at around photodiode fill factor, or around 45%. The state of art CMOS process maximized the photodiode aperture, making such mod less prone to loss of QE after microlens removal. This is in vast contrast with Kodak interline CCD structure where a 5 fold QE penalty should microlens are stripped away. The mod should perform well for narrowband imaging, especially for emission nebulas. However, a fully microlensed monochromatic sensor is still preferred for broadband imaging.

Teaser: Nikon DSLR Black Point Hack for Astrophotography

Heads up Astrophotographers, Canon is no longer the best camera in terms of image quality in astrophotography. Today, we, the Nikon Hackers, are first able to extract the real, authentic RAW image from the Nikon D7000. The last hurdle towards serious astro-imaging. Especially for people doing narrow band where background is very dark. It will also promise greater bias and dark calibration.

This is an exciting moment, for me as an amateur astronomer at least. Here’s a quick peak of the dark frame image.

Here’s the image straight out of the camera. The DSP engine is still treating 0 as black point thus it’s pink on the screen. The histogram also looks weird due to its X-axis is gamma corrected for JPEG preview.

Average will now be brought back to around 600ADU, the setting for on sensor black level.

As for image quality, Sony Exmor CMOS has far less readout noise and FPN compared to Canon. Dark current is also in the range of 0.15eps stablized under room temperature. Under a typical winter condition, dark current is so low and comparable to cooled CCDs.

Now 2 options are available to get sensor data without any pre-processing. One, get the firmware patch called “True dark current”. The drawback is camera will not use calibrated data. Gr and Gb pixels will not be at the same conversion gain. And currently it is only for D5100 and D7000 as we don’t have time to dig into the assembly codes for other DSLR models. Second option is to get my “Dark Current Enable Tool”. The downside is it’s only transient. Camera will return to normal once power cycled or metering system went asleep.

Thus if you have computer during imaging and use your camera for daylight photography, the second option will be the best. Otherwise if you travel like me, go for the first option and keep 2 copies in the smart phone. Copy the desired version with USB OTG and flash the camera with a charged battery.

5/17/2015 Update:

We released a new firmware patch for D5100/D7000/D800, which trades a menu entry called “Color Space” into one that can activate the original sensor data. Thus you can use your DSLR during travel for both astrophotography and daily photography without the need to flash different firmware or with a computer tether. And here’s a demo:

Dual Use Modification for D7000

Clearly, H-alpha astronomical imaging would greatly benefit from a modified camera. A lot more nebulas are now within feasible exposure time. Yet this pose another hurdle to use the camera in daily photography as its color balance is compeletely thrown away. Preset WB is a way to go but scene are so variable from one another that it becomes a chore to keep a sheet of white paper with me. And besides, preset WB only correct for one light source. The correction ratio for different color temperature is no longer the same with modified spectrum in the sensor. Spatial varible lighting, street lights plus moonlight as an example, will be a real chanllenge to correct. This will all add an insurmountable task in post-processing.

A genius solution will be taking advantage of the original factory filter and making it switchable! So, here’s the plan, I designed a filter rack just like the one offered by Hutech LPS front filter, which now could hold the ICF stack in it. After measuring the rack and dimension of Nikon lens mount, I drafted the 3D model in CAD and exported the final version as STL file, which is an universal format in 3D printing.

The 3D rendering of the filter rack. I named it ICF-FF-N4

The printing process is accurate up to 0.1mm in XY, the precision in Z is not as high. But none the less, horizontal accuracy is needed for filter mounting. It turned out the filter could just be secured inside the frame without any screw. The dent in the upper beam is reserved for an extra bump in the middle of the reflex mirror while it flips up.

The waveplate must be in between the 2 antialiasing layer. Since we move the ICF from behind the dust filter to in front of it, we need to make sure the AA layer is facing the lens.

Now the only thing left is to spray the filter rack black. The ICF is multilayer coated. We could now take away the clear filter installed in front of the sensor as the original focus could be restored. But a offset in the focusing system is still needed, because the AF sensor has an additional piece of glass in front of it.

LPS Filter for D7000

Just got my Hutech clip in filter for D7000, here’s a unboxing post of the LPS-P2-N4 filter. LPS stands for Light Pollution Suppression I guess. Overlaying the glass is a special interference coating that rejects the unwanted wavelength from most sodium lamps, while passing the majority of nebula emission light.

Clip the filter into the lens mount

Now it’s time to mount the lens. It’s said on their website that lens with greater than 8.7mm protrusion are not compatible. The Samyang 14mm 2.8 AE works pretty well with less than 8mm of protrusion. And it clears my biggest doubt on using wide angle lens with interference filter. Here’s 2 images taken with filter on, absence of any color vignetting seen on front mounted LPS.

And as expected, the AF 50 1.8D cannot be mounted because of an outstanding “Aperture Indexing Post” which transmit the maximum aperture mechanically. This is only required on old mechanical SLR like this one:

Aperture Indexing Post

The Aperture Indexing Post couples with the small black tab in the bottom of the mount on camera side

Since DSLR communicate with the lens electronically, it makes no sense to preserve this protruding post. One way is to simply shave it down, but the rear element could be damaged in the process and it will leave dust inside. During my last repair with the plastic mount on my 18-105 DX lens, I’ve found out that the plastic ring hosting the “Aperture Indexing Post” could be disassembled independently from the mount. And it turned out to be the same with 50 1.8D lens.

Plastic Ring

Disassembled plastic ring from the metal mount

If you unscrew 3 black ones seen on the metal mounting ring and 2 on the side holding the electronic contacts, the black plastic ring would comes out easily. Then just screw the contact post back onto the metal ring. The lens could be used with the clip in filter easily.

The 180 2.8D telephoto lens was my biggest concern. The screws on the filter holder scraped the 2 corners of the plastic baffled tube. It seems the baffled tube can be disassembled, yet it would present a problem when light from the last element deep inside shines onto the metal mount leading to stray light. This lens is unlike the 50 1.8D where the last optical element is outside the mount, while 180 has the last one and aperture blades deep recessed inside the mount.

180 Mount Scrape

2 corners next to the electronic contact post are scraped on 180 2.8D

The spectrum measured fits reasonably well with the advertisement. The spectrophotometer used only has 2nm FWHM, meaning that the graph below is the transmission of 5nm moving average.

Writing Adventures #1

Hey lovelies~!

So, I thought I would start to track where I am with my writing! This will also be where I can complain about it and just share my experiences and other things like that. 🙂

What I would like to start off with is the fact that I wrote nearly half a book and then scrapped it because I just wasn’t feeling it! I know, Lord save me!!

Yesterday one of my previous ideas came back to me and I decided to return to what I had wrote a couple months ago. So, I went into my documents and opened up the file. I’m currently on chapter four of this story but I read over everything I’d wrote and I actually, kind of, like it – I always have to remind myself that it’s just a FIRST DRAFT! It can change and be improved as many times I need it to be so.

So, the plan today is to pick up where I left off with that story and I kind of know where I want to take it and what I want my main character, Kivara, to achieve. I have the whole world planned out in my mind and all the amazing characters – there’s so many and I’ve created such a big, diverse and complex world that I can’t wait to start building on and sharing~! ❤

I hope my posts help some of you who are stuck in a rut like me, and together we’ll finish writing out stories so that we can begin to share them with the world!!

Let’s do this!

Lauren. X

Montréal - On December 9, 2014, Judge Yannick Couture fined Frédéric Lavoie1 $124,000 after Mr. Lavoie pleaded guilty to 10 charges.

In this matter, the Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") claimed that the defendant acted as a dealer illegally four times, made a distribution without a prospectus twice, aided in making a distribution without a prospectus twice and declared on two occasions that securities would be listed for trading on a stock exchange.

In his decision, Judge Couture stressed the importance of protecting the public. The defendant was registered as a dealing representative at the time of the facts at issue and knew the investors. He also noted that the fact that the defendant was in good faith was no excuse for breaking the law.

Four investors lost a total of $110,000 in this matter.

The Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") is the regulatory and oversight body for Québec's financial sector.

At Lavorwash, we supply a small but powerful and diverse range of Diesel Heaters.  In the Lavor range, we have both the Diesel Commercial Space Heater and Forced Air Heater.

Diesel Heaters – Types of Heaters

Space heaters, or radiant heaters, produce radiant heat and are a lot quieter than the forced air models.  This is done by heating a large round plate at the front of the machine with a burner.  A small fan behind the plate then blows the radiant heat outwards.  These types of heaters generally heat a slightly larger area than the equivalent fan forced models.  They also can hold more fuel, and are also slightly more fuel efficient, therefore increasing the overall operating time.  These types of heaters would be classed more as Warehouse Heaters than the other models because they are quiet.  In saying that, fan forced can still heat a similar sized area.

Forced air heaters are a different style of diesel heater.  The units are a tubular or torpedo style unit, with the fuel tank attached to the bottom of it.  A burner is situated at the back of the unit, in front of a fan.  This burner produces a lot of heat when ignited.  The “forced air” side of things come from the fan behind the burner which blows the heat through the tube and out towards the front cone.  This style of heating is more of a direct heat rather than the radiant heat mentioned above.  The more powerful fan and burner used in these models is what creates the noise.

While all units we sell are classed as an Industrial Heater, both types of heaters can be used in similar ways.  They can be used as a workshop heater, shed heater, warehouse heater or a factory heater as well.  The main difference between the styles is the noise factor.

Buying Guide

The best way to choose which of the diesel heaters is right for you is to look through each unit and determine the following factors.  BTU (British Thermal Unit) is the heating “power” of the unit.  Heating Area is measured in Square Metres, these two forming the main basis of your choice.  If you choose a small heater to heat a larger area than is recommended, the ongoing running costs will increase.

The other factors to look at are Tank Size and Operating Time.  These two generally go hand in hand to act as a guide for your ongoing general running costs.  Lets use the example above, but do the opposite.  If you choose a larger heater than is rated for your area, the heater won’t work as hard as normal.  If the unit doesn’t need to work as hard, the ongoing running costs are decreased.

Hopefully this little guide helps you choose the diesel heater that is right for you!

5 things that makes Michelle Obama an inspiring Leader in Heels
How to be on-trend in the corporate world

Shelley Barrett, ModelCo on IT business strategy

by Guest on January 31, 2013

Getting a tan these days is now easier more than ever. No more spreading staining brown lotion all over your body and hands, just spray the tan from a can on yourself. Genius! The simple idea of a Tan in a Can is what propelled ModelCo and CEO Shelley Barrett into the frontier of the cosmetics and beauty industry worldwide. Now, ten years on and still going strong, Shelley has managed to continue to innovate her business and brand, now spanning 11 countries and 150 stores!

It’s not easy being a market leader, particularly in a time of constant tech innovation and the transformation of online media. We had the lucky chance to learn from Shelley about how she uses technology to her advantage. She reveals how she continues to innovate with ModelCo by leveraging technology and enhancing ModelCo’s IT business strategy, as well as sharing with us her five favourite apps!

Don’t give in, don’t give up and always believe in your first instinct. It very rarely lets you down.

Q. Since launching ModelCo in 2002, in what ways have you leveraged technology over the years to build up the company and brand? What would you recommend other businesses to start doing?

It’s very important to stay ahead of the competition and keep an open mind about how things are changing. When I started ModelCo 10 years ago, there certainly wasn’t the social media influence that there is now. I have worked hard to upskill and learn new technologies as well as hire staff that are specialised in areas that I am not. Next to our top traditional retailers, our online store is fast becoming our biggest store and a lot of this business comes through referrals via Facebook, Twitter and other social channels and we’re constantly developing and bettering the site to make it more consumer friendly. Businesses need to be aware of the way the world is shopping and keep up with the play or they will be left behind.

Q. What are your top five tech products, apps or websites that you simply can’t live without on a daily basis?

I have recently joined Instagram and I love it! It’s a great way to connect with friends, fans, customers and other businesses. It’s organic, timely and very real which I love. Dropbox is definitely a favourite as I am often working on the run or remotely. It lets me store all of my documents and share them easily via computer, iPhone and iPad. The Woolworths app – it lets me shop straight from my phone! It tells me which fruit and vegies are fresh and in season and I can conveniently send a shopping list to the online store and my groceries are delivered fresh to my door. I also read international newspapers online every morning – The Daily Mail and New York Times are two of my must-reads.

Q. What advice would you give to others trying to start their own business in today’s world?

In today’s world it is imperative to have experience and an understanding of online. No retail business will survive without an online presence.

Q. Do you have any IT lessons you have learned along the way with innovating ModelCo?

The key to launching real innovation is ‘education’! Consumers love a new product or idea or fun beauty gadgets however you really need to educate them on how to use this product properly and provide clear instructions. We use our website as way to showcase a number of different educational videos and provide detailed product information so the customer has clarity on how to use our innovative products, what the key features are and why they need this product.

Q. You’re about to relaunch your online store and a shopping mobile app. Can you tell us how you have learned to move with the times and when to apply new technologies to one’s IT business strategy?

ModelCo’s strategy has always been to be ahead of the competitors in terms of innovation. Every beauty brand has an online store these days but what hasn’t been done yet is to push the boundaries beyond an online store. We saw a gap in the market to create an experience and that’s what we will deliver. It’s about being aware of what’s in the market and more importantly, what hasn’t been done yet. We try to create what women want, before they know they want it.

Thanks Shelley for providing us such great insight into how she has leveraged technology to helping ModelCo grow and succeed in today’s competitive market!

What are these things doing in my PCR reaction?

Primers are short pieces of DNA that are made in a laboratory. Since they're custom built, primers can have any sequence of nucleotides you'd like.

In a PCR experiment, two primers are designed to match to the segment of DNA you want to copy. Through complementary base pairing, one primer attaches to the top strand at one end of your segment of interest, and the other primer attaches to the bottom strand at the other end. In most cases, 2 primers that are 20 or so nucleotides long will target just one place in the entire genome.

Primers are also necessary because DNA polymerase can't attach at just any old place and start copying away. It can only add onto an existing piece of DNA.

DNA Polymerase is a naturally occurring complex of proteins whose function is to copy a cell's DNA before it divides in two. When a DNA polymerase molecule bumps into a primer that's base-paired with a longer piece of DNA, it attaches itself near the end of the primer and starts adding nucleotides. (In nature, these primers are made by an enzyme called primase).

The DNA polymerase in our bodies breaks down at temperatures well below 95 °C (203 °F), the temperature necessary to separate two complementary strands of DNA in a test tube. The DNA polymerase that's most often used in PCR comes from a strain of bacteria calledThermus aquaticus that live in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. It can survive near boiling temperatures and works quite well at 72 °C (162 °F).

Nucleotides are the building blocks that DNA molecules are made of. You add a mixture of four types of nucleotides to your PCR reactionA's, C's, G's and T's. DNA polymerase grabs nucleotides that are floating in the liquid around it and attaches them to the end of a primer.

Design your Hosta Garden with these tips for Hosta Landscaping!

If you’re serious about hostas, your hosta garden will continually be a beautiful work in progress. Many people have a starter garden, where they grow plants to maturity (when they have their true size, shape, and color), then transplant them to a final spot in the garden. As trees and other plants in your garden grow, you can move hostas around to give them their ideal sun and soil conditions. Keeping your plants labeled will make it easier, especially in the early spring before plants come up. Continue reading “Design your Hosta Garden with these tips for Hosta Landscaping!”

Create Hosta Bouquets

Hostas can be spectacular when arranged in hosta bouquets with a single leaf or bloom, in combinations with other hostas, or mixed in with other plants. Hostas offer many sizes, textures, colors, and leaf shapes to work with. Plus, many hostas have beautiful and fragrant blooms. You can use the HostaSearch™ Database to find hostas with a wide range of blooms. When placed in water, hosta leaves can last up to ten days and blooms can last up to five days. Continue reading “Create Hosta Bouquets”

Displaying Hosta Containers, Potted Hosta

Hostas can be successfully grown in containers.  The major advantage of container hostas offer is more versatility in the garden; you can move them around for an ever-changing display, and find the combinations and designs you enjoy!  Also, bringing your hostas closer to you on a patio or path lets you see your favorite showy hostas up close and display their best foliage-containers allow you to more fully and easily control slugs!  Hostas also make a great contrast to other plants within a mixed container, or within a grouping of containers in their own pot.

Understanding the Purpose of Gearboxes in Making Machines Work

Gearboxes have been around for quite some time and continue to be an in-demand equipment in different industries. With the creation of huge machineries to simplify processes in industries, the demand for different kinds of gearboxes also emerged, compelling manufacturing companies to innovate their offerings. Every industry and every machinery make use of a unique type of gearbox to keep it running.

One of the businesses that highly use spiral bevel gearboxes is the cement industry. Spiral bevel gearboxes are usually utilized to help machines increase their engine's torque, which is necessary to provide better outcomes in their production. Considering the power and the sizes of the equipment used in the industry, they are in need of strong and high caliber gearboxes that are capable of generating higher torque. Aside from spiral bevel gearbox , the cement industry also makes use of other types of gearboxes to support the changing load of their equipment, improve the speed of their machineries and mitigate the running quality of the equipment.

The steel industry is one of the verticals that continue to demand for bevel gearboxes that are classified as high endurance and sturdy to keep their machineries running smoothly. The industry is continuously experiencing growth, thus the need for these rack and pinion gearboxes is also on the rise. In addition to this kind of gearbox, the industry also uses pinion gearboxes, planetary gearboxes and reduction gearboxes, to name a few. It is imperative to find the right gearbox to support the machines to ensure that operations will go about smoothly.

The paper and pulp industry is one of the businesses that continue to experience growth in their operations because of the high demand for paper items. As more and more people need paper items, the industry also requires heavy machineries that are capable of efficiently completing various processes. These machines, just like any huge equipment make use of gearboxes to smoothly operate without a hitch and these gearboxes are manufactured using different materials. The spur gearboxes, shaft mounted gearboxes, and the helical gearboxes are among the most common types of gearboxes that are used in the machineries running in the industry. Visit this website at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/12/sticking-a-wrench-in-the_n_112303.html for more facts about gear box.

Considered as integral parts of huge machines, gearboxes continue to support the operations of these types of giant equipment. If these parts are not available, the machine will not likely operate as it is intended. With the right gearboxes installed, machines are able to smoothly operate without causing any hitches in the operations of the company. Companies that specialize in industrial electrical products are experts in understanding the different kinds of gearboxes and they also market these parts for different machines. Hundreds of businesses operate as experts in the arena of gearboxes and they can also walk corporate owners through the process of understanding the different kinds of gearboxes of their machines.

The reception desk looks like straight out of an old black & white Hollywood movie. Both lifts seem to move in slow motion up and down the ten-story building. Sometimes, the inside of the hotel looks like a barracs. But holes in the floors, sqeeking waterpipes or breathing heatpipes only add to the ambiente of the hotel.

Our mission is to help people know, follow, and share Jesus.

Our Beliefs

God is the creator of everything. He is eternally existent in three equal and fully divine persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Acts 5:3-4; John 1:1-4; Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Revelation 4:11; 1 Corinthians 8:6)

Jesus is fully equal with God. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all humanity. He rose from the dead three days later, vindicating his deity and proving his power over sin and death. He is coming again to fully establish his rule and reign here on earth. (Hebrew 1:3; John 1:1-18; John 14:8-9; 1 Timothy 3:16; The Whole Bible!)

He is coequal with the Father and the Son. In everything he does in the world he points people to their need for Jesus. He comes into a person’s life when they accept Jesus. He empowers Christ-followers to live as they should, convicting them of sin and guiding them to the truth and giving them gifts to be used for the benefit of others. (1 Corinthians 12:4, 11-13; Ephesians 4:11-12; Romans 12:4-8; 1 Peter 4:10-11; Titus 3:5; John 16:8)

All men and women are created in God’s image and therefore, worthy of immeasurable dignity and value. Yet, people have freely chosen to disobey God (sin) and continue to do so, making all people sinful in both deed and nature. This sin separates us from God and leaves all in need of reconciliation to God. (Genesis 1:27; Romans 1:18-2:16, 3:10-20, 23; 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3)

Being that we are all sinful by nature and deed there is nothing we can do in and of ourselves to be reconciled to God. Jesus came to make that reconciliation possible. Therefore, salvation is found only in Jesus and only by our faith in his sacrifice on the cross for us. When we put our faith in Jesus we are then fully justified and reconciled to God. (Romans 6:23; 10:9-10, 13; Ephesians 2:1-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 14:6; Titus 3:5)

The Bible is God’s supreme revelation of himself to humanity. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate source for Christ-follower’s beliefs and living. It is fully true and inerrant in whatever it affirms. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105; Mark 4:4, 7, 10)

The church consists of all those who belief in and follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The global church is represented locally in a community of Jesus followers who gather regularly to worship, pray, learn from the Bible, and serve with their various gifts and talents. (Matthew 16:18; 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-46; Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 12:26; Hebrews 10:25)

Baptism is a Christ-follower’s outward expression of their commitment of faith in Jesus Christ. It represents a person’s new life in Jesus, in which they identify with his death and resurrection. (Matthew 3:16-17; 28:18-20; Acts 2:41; Romans 6:1-6; Colossians 2:11-12)

In communion we remember Jesus’ atoning death on the cross for us. We participate as a church in communion on a regular basis. Anyone who has placed their faith in Jesus is welcome to participate with us. (Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:17-29)

Responsibility without blame

Breathlessness is far broader than a physical symptom. It affects people’s mood, self-esteem and social links and often involves feelings of guilt and shame. Breathlessness can also be a symptom of a range of mental disorders, such as panic and anxiety disorders. There is also blame directed at people who suffer from breathlessness as result of past behaviour, such as smoking. Smokers often also blame themselves for becoming ill or think they deserve to be ill. These types of thinking – self-recrimination, blame and the ensuing guilt – can make things worse for the ill person who is already suffering breathlessness. In this blog post, philosopher and therapist Professor Hanna Pickard introduces a new way to think about these issues.

The Responsibility without Blame Project provides a free, interactive, and accessible e-learning for anyone interested in thinking about our ideas of responsibility and blame. It grew out of my own experience working in a Therapeutic Community and is designed to help staff – as well as friends and family – work and relate more effectively with people with personality disorder or complex needs. But the idea of Responsibility without Blame has the potential for much wider relevance.
The key idea in the Project is that we can get caught between two equally unhelpful mindsets when someone’s actions cause them or others harm.
Sometimes we step in and “Rescue” a person by denying that they had choice or agency. If they couldn’t help doing it, then they’re not to blame, and we treat them as worthy of care despite the harm caused.
Sometimes we “Blame” a person because we see them as having choice and agency. But since their actions caused harm, we may then judge them harshly and treat them as not worthy of care.
Both these mindsets stop us from supporting the person to make better choices and do things differently. A Rescue mindset is disempowering. But a Blame mindset is rejecting and punishing. I call this The Rescue-Blame Trap.
The key to escaping The Trap is to distinguish our ideas of Responsibility and Blame. Very crudely, responsibility is about the other person, and whether they have choice and agency. Blame is about us, and how we choose to respond when a person’s actions cause harm.
With this distinction in hand, the possibility of treating someone as responsible but maintaining care and indeed compassion comes into view. This enables us to support the person to do things differently in future, rather than getting stuck blaming them for the past.
Of course, it is not always easy to do this in practice. But the e-learning is designed not only to help people understand these ideas better, but also to develop this practical skill, by inviting them to learn interactively and to reflect on how these ideas apply to their own experience.
In the course of working on the The Responsibility without Blame Project, I talked about it with patients in the Therapeutic Community where I worked. They helped me realise that The Rescue-Blame Trap applies just us much to ourselves as to our attitudes towards other people.
When we do things that we recognise as harmful we can get stuck in either a Self-rescue or a Self-blame mindset. Sometimes we pity ourselves or think of ourselves as helpless. Sometimes we are incredibly hard and punishing on ourselves. This is the Self-Rescue and Self-Blame Trap. It is something that we all face at some point in our lives: when we have made choices that we come to regret. Whichever side of the Trap we are in, we are stuck in a place that blocks us from making changes that we may desperately want and need to make.
The key to escaping the Self-Rescue and Self-Blame Trap in our own case is the same as with other people. We need to adopt a Responsibility without Blame stance towards ourselves. This allows us to acknowledge our own power of choice and agency and work to do things differently in future, but at the same time, to show ourselves kindness and compassion, and not beat ourselves up for the past.
Although the e-learning is designed to help people work and relate more effectively to others, you can also use it as a tool to work on your relationship with yourself, and it ends with a short Module about The Self-Rescue and Self-Blame Trap. If you are a person who is struggling to come to terms with some of your past choices, I hope it may offer you a new way of seeing things, and hope for the future.

Excerpt from speech on Tiger Park Issue

The Penang State Government of Penang is a C.A.T. government – adhering to the principles of Competency, Accountability and Transparency. We believe that a clean government applying CAT principles can provide good governance that generates prosperity that can be shared equitably.

The Penang government is a CAT government. Lions are big cats with a wide reputation for courage. But success is not determined alone by courage but also by another four characteristics of righteousness, effort, ability and with a little luck. These are the five characteristics of success. Whilst the first four are up to the individual, the Penang state government hopes to give everyone a little bit of luck by offering equal opportunities in economics, employment education, social and political.

This can be seen by our Penang wireless initiative where we want to be the first wifi state in Malaysian in two years time – where you can be connected to the internet anytime anyplace anywhere in Penang. And this wifi is offered free to all in Penang bridging the digital divide between the rich and the poor the urban and the kampong areas. Even in Seberang Jaya you can now enjoy free wifi access at Sunway Carnival – a promise of more to come.

We also wish to maximize our natural scenic spots not to do construction projects but to develop sustainable eco tourism. When I see two tigers at Bukit Jambul, reared in captivity under license from Malaysian authorities,locked in a cage, I feel that we should give them more space. That is why the Penang state government is proposing a Tiger Park as tigers are magnificent animals and should not be caged. I have been caged before and I know what it is like to be caged.

First I wish to emphasise that this proposal is still in the conceptual stage based on certain pre-conditions for deliberation.

One, this ia a PPP – public private partnership ie. the state government is only offering land in exchange for the private investor to provide both the operational and infrastructure costs. The state government will not be spending any money but expects to get revenue from this lease and also make more productive use of the present reserved recreational land to prevent illegal land use, especially illegal farming.

Two, the tigers must be obtained legally approved by the relevant national departments and conform to wildlife conservation efforts and benchmarks. The tigers must be given protection Whilst we note the views of those who call for banning of zoos, we are willing to appoint noted conservation groups to advise and monitor these efforts.

Thirdly, the park must be self-contained and safe to ensure that the tigers do not escape and harm human residents.

No doubt a project of such high public interest will have both detractors and advocates as evidenced from the feedback we have received so far. Be assured that the final decision will be in the best interests of Penangites, and the well-being of the tigers!

Undivided interest and the growth of talent: A longitudinal study of adolescents

  • Kevin Rathunde
  • Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Based on theoretical considerations drawn from John Dewey and others, and using the Experience Sampling Method to longitudinally investigate a group of talented high school students,undivided interest was operationalized as times when the students felt above average spontaneous interest (i.e., excitement, openness, and involvement) while also reporting above average goal-directed interest (i.e., that their task was important to their goals). Results showed that after adjusting for the effects of family background, scholastic aptitude, and other individual differences, undivided interest while doing talent-related activities was positively correlated with independent assessments of talent area performance three years later: the level of mastery students achieved as indicated by their school records, the ratings students received from their talent area teachers, and the students' assessments of their own level of engagement. Highly engaged students reported over twice as much undivided interest in comparison to a group of disengaged students, who reported more divided interest (i.e., more of what Dewey referred to as “fooling”—high spontaneous involvement with no goal direction; and more “drudgery”—low spontaneous involvement and high goal direction). These findings held regardless of whether the teenagers were talented in math, science, music, or art. The implications of the study are discussed in terms of contemporary theories of attention and cognitive development, as well as unproductive educational philosophies that pit these important dimensions of experience against each other.

About this book

In the seventies and eighties, scientific collaboration between the Theory Section of the Physics Department of Leipzig University and the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Wroolaw was established. This manifested itself, among other things, in the organization of regular, twice-yearly seminars located alternatively in Wrodaw and Leipzig. These Seminars in Theoretical Physics took place 27 times, the last during November 1990. In order to continue the traditions of German-Polish contacts in theoretical physics, we decided to start a new series of Seminars in Theoretical Physics and name them after the outstanding German theoretical physicist Max Born who was born in 1883 in Wrodaw. We hope that these seminars will continue to contribute to better scientific contacts and understanding between German and Polish theoretical physicists. The First Max Born Symposium was held in Wojnowice Castle, 20 km west of Wrodaw, 27 - 29 September 1991. Wojnowice Castle was built in the 16th century by the noble Boner family, in the Renaissance style, and has been recently adapted as a small conference center. The preferred subjects at the Symposium were Quantum Groups and Integrable Models. The Symposium was organized by Doctors R. Gielerak and Z. Popowicz under the scientific supervision of the undersigned.

Peppermint’s uplifting aroma wafting up from a hot cup of tea can start to settle an upset stomach even before you drink it. Peppermint’s antispasmodic effect calms nausea and helps prevent gas and bloating after a heavy meal. Peppermint is often combined with caraway to help indigestion. Those with IBS, irritable bowel syndrome, can find relief with enteric coated capsules of peppermint.

DSCN5160fPeppermint is a first herb of choice for treatment of colds and flu because it acts to relieve multiple symptoms at once: congestion, headaches and muscle aches, nausea and fever. You can drink a hot cup of peppermint tea from dried leaves, or diffuse the essential oil in the sick room to ease the breath and kill germs, and use the oil mixed in a carrier oil in chest and throat massages. Peppermint also makes a good additive for a foot bath.

65daysofstatic Re-score ‘Silent Running’

Today I’m off to run the Manchester 10k and Aidan is running the Eyam Half Marathon – marketed as the hilliest half marathon in the country! So, what better preparation than to go and see a band last night?

One of our favourite bands is 65daysofstatic:

I first got into them a couple of years ago after finding them on some random musicsharing website that I can’t remember the name of for the life of me! It’ll come back to me at some point. We then went to the Hop Farm Festival with a couple of free tickets and saw them play there, just before British Sea Power and Fight Like Apes.

Yesterday, they were playing as part of the Sensoria film and music festival at the Royal Northern College of Music on Oxford Road, Manchester. However, instead of playing their usual set they were doing a live rescore of the film ‘Silent Running.’

It was just phenomenal. Apart from the fact that everyone there was a little bit ‘too cool for school’; it was magnificent. The sound was fantastic – apart from a minor hiccup half way through where it went out of sync with the film – their reimagining was beautifully in-keeping with the original film. I actually preferred their music to the original for the majority of the film.

I was also quite glad that they didn’t try to replicate Joan Baez… I’m sure true fans will hate me for it, but I’m not a massive fan of her warbling on the original soundtrack.

Love the music, not so keen on her voice.

Amazing evening and I can only hope that they now release their version of the soundtrack onto CD.

Well, I’d better go and get ready for the 10k as I’m leaving in approximately twenty minutes. Good luck to everyone else who’s running it today!

Could your phone or laptop be harming your skin?

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Memorial Day is in one week and the kickoff to summer is the prime time to wear your sunscreen. But there’s something else you should think about when it comes to protecting your skin.

How many hours a day do you spend on a device?

Dylan Berg said she uses her phone frequently.

“I’m on my phone until like, 2 in the morning. It’s the first thing I check when I wake up,” she said.

Berg isn’t alone.

Many people can’t do without their phone, tablet, and laptop. Frequent use of those devices may come at a cost, however.

Dermatologists said the LED glow is damaging the delicate skin on our faces. That glow is called High Energy Visible Light, or HEV light.

“It’s visible light, so the sky is blue because of the blue light. You find it outside, you find it on your computer screens, you find it on your tablets and things like that,” Dr. Jenifer Lloyd said.

Lloyd runs a dermatology practice in Boardman. She said HEV light can cause premature aging.

“Now associating tablets from High Energy Light from those devices, it starts with freckles and age spots, premature wrinkling, things like that.”

Lloyd said HEV light hasn’t yet been associated with skin cancer, just minor aging damage. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t think about it.

“It wasn’t until years after tanning and sun exposure that we made the connection of skin cancers, and I think the same will be true of the younger generation who are growing up spending hours and hours of their total lives in front of these devices,” she said.

So how can you protect yourself from the light coming from your cell phone, tablet, or laptop?

One way is with a special lotion — not just regular sunscreen.

“A sunscreen only protects you from UVA and UVB, and does not protect you from visible light. So you want to switch over to something with zinc, titanium, or iron oxide,” Lloyd said.

There are also some antioxidant products that claim to help protect from HEV rays.

Aside from what you can put on your face, you can also get a screen or filter for your phone or tablet that will protect you from exposure. Lloyd said those items are inexpensive.

Most smart devices have an option to go into night mode. If you enable it, the screen has more of an orange glow.

For consumers interested in looking for the products that help protect from HEV lights Dr. Lloyd mentioned, a variety of stores carry those special lotions, from big-box stores, to beauty suppliers, to online retailers.

Look for products that specifically claim to help protect from HEV light. They typically range in cost from $12 to around $55.
