1) Plain Packaging For Cigarettes
This link takes you to the breakfast show on BBC Radio Bristol.
If you wind to 2 hrs 12 mins on the programme, you can hear Olivia Maynard from the University Of Bristol explain some research into plain packaging. Essentially, the lack of visual cues on the packaging forces people to look at the health warning. There is some broader discussion here about other factors leading to addiction.
2) Drug Czar
This is a news report about Michael Botticelli who works for the federal government in the US on reducing addiction. Here, he talks about his experience of addiction and what he plans to do about it.
Botticelli's strategy is based on defining addiction as a disease. Here is an article which challenges this definition.
It includes reference to the research into American service personnel who returned from Vietnam addicted to heroin but who then quickly recovered.
3) CBT vs Drug Treatment For Depression
It is standard practice in the NHS at the moment to recommend CBT for milder cases of depression and drug treatment for more serious cases.
This study challenges this practice, using Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis. That means that rather than taking the summary data for each study quoted in the meta-analysis, it goes back to the data of each patient. That seems like a good idea. The results suggest that any differences in effectiveness of each treatment do not depend on the severity of the condition at the start of treatment. The article makes two telling points at the end. Firstly, it suggests that one of the as yet undetermined factors on the success of treatment might be which the patient would choose. This suggests that people don't often get the choice. Secondly, it assumes that therapy is either one or the other. Other evidence suggests it is a question of both/and.
4) Bill's Story
This video tells the story about an ex-footballer suffering with dementia who manages to access some of his old memories again through being presented with cues in the form of old pictures, news reports and programmes. If you know anything about football, you'll be surprised by two of the names here.
5) Depression – An Unlikely Guest Star
I don't watch much television so the references here don't mean much to me.
This article explains changes in the way in which mental health is presented in comedy and drama. Mental health issues have become more prominent but over-diagnosis can be as unhelpful as not recognising the existence of such issues at all. It suggests at the end that one programme has got the balance about right.
6) Slow Science
Here is Uta Frith on why science needs to slow down.
7) BPS Digest
The last one of 2016 and some good links as usual.

by MairaS on February 24, 2011
in Famous football players
Eidur Gudjohnsen (born September 15, 1978) is an Icelandic footballer who plays for the English football club "Fulham" as a striker in a number 22 t-shirt. Eidur Gudjohnsen joined Fulham in January on loan from "Stoke City football club" until the end of the 2010/11 season. He also captained the Iceland international team. Gudjohnsen has scored a total of 160 goals throughout his career for the club and international team. Gudjohnsen started his football career at "Valur Reykjavic/football club". Eidur joined "Bolton Wenderers football club" in 1998 where he proved as one of the best strikers and caught the eye of many clubs.
Gudjohnsen was born in Reykjavik, Iceland. He is an outstanding player with a high degree of tactical awareness and great skills over the ball, confident and always hungry for the goals.

Gudjohnsen has won countless honours with two Premier League titles, one La Liga title, the Eredivisie title, the Copa del Rey and the favorite and noticeable UEFA Champions League, which makes him different from the other players in the Fulham squad.
He scored 19 total goals in his 59 appearances for Bolton during the 1998 and 2000 years.

Personal Finance Tips
Keeping your personal finance in order is not something that is an easy task. Personal finance disasters can sneak up on you. Sometimes an emergency expense can mess up your budget so badly that you have to take months to get things back in order.
To help prevent emergency expenses or other unexpected situations from blowing your personal finance out of order you need to develop something called an emergency fund. An emergency fund is basically a savings that is used only in case of emergencies.
Importance of an Emergency Fund
The idea of an emergency fund is basically to help prepare you for extreme situations such as the loss of a job. An emergency fund should ideally be something you could live off of for at least three months if you were to suddenly lose your income.
However, an emergency fund can also be something you can dip into should you have an unexpected expense. The whole point is that you have this extra money there if you should need it for something important that does not fit into the budget.
An emergency fund is not a savings account you can use to make special purchases. It is important to understand and maintain that the emergency account is only for emergency situations.
Make a Budget
To start setting up your emergency fund you need to establish a budget. This will help you to learn about your expenses and be able to set up the amount of the emergency fund.
A budget will also help you when it comes to deciding how much money to put in the fund every month. Be honest with your budget.
Find Out How Much You Need
You will want to consult your budget for how much you will need in an emergency fund. You want to make sure that the fund's total amount would allow you to live for at least three months.
Of course you can feel free to save above that amount, but shooting for a goal of three month's living expenses is a good place to start. Always remember, too, that when you take any money out of the account that you need to put that amount back.
When deciding you may want to consider extra expenses and if you want to include those in your emergency fund. If you fall on tough times you may end up deciding to forego extra expenses like cable television or weekly night out. Or you may still want to keep those things. Just make sure you come to an honest amount that you could really off of if you needed to.
Build Your Fund
Once you have decided how much you need in an emergency fund and how much you will add to it each month the only thing left to do is start saving. Make sure you choose an account that will pay you a good amount of interest and be a secure place to keep this money.
Personal Finance Tips From the Wealth Masters
If you pay attention to these tips like the wealth masters do, you will learn exactly how the top dogs at WMI make their millions. Believe me, it starts small.
Small tips make it possible. For instance, knowing what you need money for… what are your financial goals? Why bother with all this? Once that is clear, personal finance becomes personal and steers finance the right way.
That, after all, is what personal finance is about. Personal is 'one's own' and finance is 'a way to pay'. If one doesn't know why one is paying for anything, obviously one will fumble with 'one's own way of paying for it'. So tip 1 is, know why you are learning this and why you're spending any money.
Some of the money mistakes people make start from the late teenage years. They are probably climbing up debt through school, house, marriage, or material purchases. Wealth Masters advise you keep a tab on how much you've borrowed because that will affect everything about how you repay for the next 10-20 years and your income is the least at startup. The best way to handle a credit card is to not carry it with you.
The third tip is to get a free copy of your credit report every quarter to know you are clean. This will help to get an apartment, borrow money, get a cell phone, even get a job. There are many agencies that organize these reports in USA.
If you 'don't know where your money is going', write down every expense every day for a month… or get a receipt for everything you spend money on. One of the wealth masters discovered he was spending $350 on taxicabs before it struck home that he needn't be broke because of that avoidable expense.
Finally, use the 'pegging technique' by which you do business with businesses that are the best bang for your buck. Which is the bargain dry cleaner? Where are the appetizers free? What time is the half-off movie show? Where do you get flowers cheaper on particular days? Know these things and splurge intelligently and economically.
Those with kids are advised to start them early on spending education. Even 3 year olds can understand the concept of money and control personal finance. Get them into bargain hunting, for instance finding the best deal on spaghetti sauce – a bigger bottle or a different brand?
Auto Financing Tips
If you are looking to buy a new automobile no doubt you have already started doing your homework. Comparing vehicles and models, accessories and mileage and checking out an abundance of dealerships to see who has the best price for the exact vehicle you want to drive.
You need to do the same thing when it comes to getting financing for your new vehicle. Financing options abound, and everyone has a slightly different rate with slightly different terms. It is up to you, the consumer, to find the deal that is right for you.
The process of finding a financing option which is best for you can seem daunting but there are at least a few things you can do to make the process a lot less painful and lot more effective in the long run.
Dealer financing
In many cases the dealership will work to help you find an option that you can handle. Remember, they want to sell you a car, so it is in their best interest to help you buy it, but there is only so much they can do. The rest is usually up to you.
Start by comparing financing options available at institutions other than the one your dealer recommends. Don't be afraid to search online, visit your bank, the neighborhood credit union or anyone who makes new auto loans. Everyone will have different interest rates, terms and options. The more options you have the better the deal you can secure for yourself.
Leasing might be better for you
You might also want to consider a leasing option rather than a straight purchase. With leasing you can often get a much lower monthly payment and also not have to worry about maintaining the car month after month because dealer provided maintenance is part of the agreement. Of course at the end of the least the car belongs to the dealer, not you, so be sure you understand how that will impact you in the long run if you decide to go with that option.
Your credit report
If you do decide to purchase you vehicle there are a few simple steps you can take to make certain you get the financing options that you need.
First, get a copy of your current credit score and credit report and start checking it for errors. It is not uncommon for credit reporting companies to use outdated or completely wrong information. It is up to you as the consumer to make certain the information in your credit report is accurate.
Every lender is going to use your credit report and credit score to determine whether or not to loan you money and what terms to offer you. Making certain this information is correct will go a long was to getting you the deal you need.
Compare lenders
Don't just settle for the financing option offered by the dealer. Start comparing rates of as many lenders as you can. Visit your bank, local credit unions and even internet lending agencies. Collect a list of the top five deals offered then revisit them and start negotiating. Don't be afraid to haggle for the best possible deal. Lenders, if they want your business, will be willing to fight for it and will adjust the terms of their loan to better suits your needs in order to get you to deal with them.
Personal Finance Tips
The key to getting the edge on average-Joe finances and struggling with money worries is through gaining first-rate 'financial literacy' which reduces any over-dependency on accountants, financial advisors and so on, so that you can get control of and start to manage and direct your own personal finances. A great starting point on this journey is to know about and understand the 5 main financial needs in life as per classic financial planning.
The 5 Main Personal Finance Needs in Life
In classic financial planning there are 5 defined financial needs a typical person will have, oftentimes at pretty predictable time frames.
I find it can be a useful back of a napkin checklist to have the following 5 financial needs listed in front of you and then ask yourself what you could be doing now to ensure you are actively addressing each of these 5 financial needs:
- Savings i.e. the financial need to accumulate a lump sum from surplus income (typically saved from earned income) to meet some financial objective and/or build up a rainy day fund. An example of this would be you saving a down-payment for a home purchase at some stage in the near future. Another example of saving is building up an emergency fund (e.g. setting aside 6 months living expenses). You might also start saving with a view to utilizing these funds for a longer term objective such as building up a rainy day or retirement fund.
- Investments i.e. the financial need to invest a lump sum not required by you for a period of time, so as to earn a better return than standard saving can generate. A common example of this is investing a capital sum into bonds or stocks so as to generate a medium-to-high return. Another example of this need could be where you've recently retired and have received a lump sum retirement benefit and want to invest this appropriately. You'd have a financial need to invest this lump sum in the most suitable fashion possible (in a manner keeping with your age, risk profile and financial goals) so as to maximize your capital return and/or generate a future stream of (passive) income.
- Protection i.e. the financial need to provide financially for certain unpredictable events in life, such as ill health or death, causing the total cessation of earned income for you and/or your dependants. An example of this is when you get a mortgage, you will take out a life assurance policy (mortgage protection payment insurance) which would ensure the mortgage is paid off in full were you to die before the end of the mortgage term. In addition to simply buying life policies you can "protect" yourself by building sources of passive and portfolio income.
- Retirement Planning i.e. the financial need to accumulate funds to provide a replacement income (passive income and portfolio income) in retirement as you're no longer working (either by choice or necessity) and not generating earned income.
- Mortgages i.e. the financial need to borrow a capital sum to fund the purchase of a property, usually an apartment (condo) or house, which will typically be used as your home.
The Typical Timeline of Your Personal Financial Needs
Your financial needs generally change as you get older. A typical timeline of changing financial needs during the course of someone's life would be as follows:
- Age 20- 30: Savings & Mortgages,
- Age 30-40: Protection & Longer Term Savings
- Age 40-50: Investment & Retirement Planning
- Age 60: Investment
It's important to note that this is a very general timeline. Personally, I think retirement planning should be looked at much earlier in life. With the exception of the current generation of kids (who actually will live shorter lives than those of us in our 20s, 30s and 40s now due to the growing obesity problem), people are living longer than ever before. However, less and less people are planning for and providing for their longer than ever retirement financial needs. (Why not take a look out our website and other articles on retirement planning to understand you retirement planning needs further.) I've heard it is said that people spend 5 times more time planning their holidays than they do their retirement! Sad but unfortunately true!
Becoming Your Own Financial Advisor
The process of personal financial planning is a process you can either undertake yourself or most likely with a financial advisor. The objective of financial planning is to achieve your financial plans and goals through the most efficient management of your available financial resources and proper use of financial products. Unfortunately, most people are not equipped to undertake financial planning themselves and they therefore over-rely on financial advisors and institutions.
A word of warning!! There are only a minority of financial advisors that truly have your best interests at heart (sorry…but it's true). Many are merely flogging you financial products for commissions and fees. The only financial advice worth taking is paid-for financial advice and advice that is in writing. This is as close to independent financial advice that you are going to get I'm afraid. At least by paying for the service, you know the financial advisor is going to provide a service in return for payment rather than have some financial institution line his pockets with initial and trail commissions on financial products sold to you which may or may not be entirely suitable.
After the recent financial crisis and the expos on the entire financial system, there has never been a more important time to get skilled-up and be your own financial advisor. I'm not saying don't have a team of financial/tax/legal experts you can turn to for advice. Do! However, I am saying, get empowered and become knowledgeable on the financial requirements you have and the strategies, tools and techniques you will need to achieve them. To become rich and create wealth beyond mere averages requires you, to at least some extent, become your own financial advisor.

Rocket Ronnie Tutorial Enemy Notes
In Rocket Ronnie players would encounter enemies called "suits" whose job it was to stop Ronnie from reaching his beer keg. Suits were government agents that patrolled around levels and could kill Ronnie with a cattle prod if they touched him. The stun enemy tutorial level was designed as an introduction for players to experience these suits.
At the beginning of the tutorial players must avoid an enemy patrolling back and forth on an elevated area. Later in the level an enemy would patrol back and forth through a narrow doorway. For this encounter players would have to study the suit's patrol route before attempting to fly over him and running through the doorway. Once pass the doorway the player easily collects the keg of beer and completes the tutorial.

GAAC is fortunate indeed to have Dr. Jonathan McDowell with us this month, at 8:00 pm Friday May 11 at the Lanesville Community Center, speaking on "Space Junk: A Traffic Crisis in Outer Space."
Dr. McDowell is an Astrophysicist with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, a mathematician and a programmer. Dr. McDowell maintains one of the world's best databases of orbital material launched into space – aka space junk.
It's been over 60 years since the launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, and space is getting busier and busier.
There are over 1,500 working satellites up there, but there are also over 18,000 known pieces of orbital debris whizzing around at up to 18,000 miles an hour. At that speed, a collision with even a small piece of junk can ruin your whole day.
Dr. McDowell will talk about the demographics of the satellite population: who is putting satellites up there, what are they doing, what the space junk is, why there's so much of it -- and most important, what can we do about it?
Join us on May 11th for this colorful, engaging and important talk. Come early for great goodies, fun conversation with friends old and new, and really cool and accessible science.

"It's got nothing to do with us really, we've had no involvement in it," drummer Rory Loveless told BBC Newsbeat. "It's just a guy signing off in a quirky manner and mentioning us… I'm not totally overjoyed that it happened but at the same time I don't really care. I'm glad he's a fan and that other people have discovered us through it."
Drenge will play:
London St Moritz (September 3)

Everyone needs the Internet in their life at one point or another, even if they don't have a computer, a cell phone, a laptop, or a tablet in their home. It's rare that you may find someone who has no electronic devices that can connect to the Internet because most people have the Internet in their home these days. Even those who cannot afford to have Internet in their home, they have some sort of way that they choose to connect to the Internet. More than likely, if a person can't afford Internet in their home, they will go and connect to a free Wi-Fi hotspot.
The Internet is something that's necessary because there is so much use for the Internet these days. GPS that runs through a cell phone has to use the Internet. Anyone who wants to look up information without going to a library, they will use the Internet. If someone is putting in a job application for a big company, more than likely, they'll have the job application on the Internet. These days people even gamble on the Internet, watch movies on the Internet, and they video chat on the Internet. The point is, most people can't live without the Internet.
Even though the Internet is crucial in the lives of most people, not everyone can afford what it costs to have Internet service in their home. It's not impossible for Internet to cost up to hundred dollars a month, depending on the company a person has joined, the features on their service, and their data limits. If a person is fortunate enough to have unlimited data through their Internet company, then they are in luck, but what about when they go on the road? If someone goes away from their home, then they have to find a way to stay connected to the Internet.
If someone wants a way to connect their cell phone, tablet, and laptop to the Internet while they are on the go, then a Wi-Fi hotspot is necessary. A person can either buy a hotspot, or they can stop somewhere that has Wi-Fi. The best way to get either a hotspot or connect to a hotspot is by joining FreedomPop. FreedomPop is the most economical way to get Wi-Fi services while on the go, and it's in the form of the FreedomPop application.
Although FreedomPop does sell hotspots that are small and compact, those who want to save even more money are recommended to get the FreedomPop Wi-Fi application. The application is free to download, and for only five dollars each month, the user can access a FreedomPop Wi-Fi hotspot that is in their area. There are millions of hotspots available around the USA, and with 10 million hotspots, it won't be difficult for a person to find a place to connect to the Internet. This low-cost alternative to Wi-Fi connections can help those who want to save money as well as having constant Internet connection on the go.

As we know, it is very important that a firm should pay attention to the training of its staff as there exist many weak parts in its various departments. Staff training must have a purpose, which is defined when a firm considers its training needs, which are in turn based on job descriptions and job specifications.
A job description should give details of the performance that is required for a particular job, and a job specification should give information about the behavior, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee who works in it. When all of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification. This specifies what the Training Department must teach for the successful performance of the job, and also the best methods to use in the training period.
There are many different training methods, and there are advantages and disadvantages of all of them. Successful training programmes depend on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently said that learning about skills takes place "off the job" in the classroom, but training in using these skills takes place "on the job", by means of such activities as practice in the workshop.
It is always difficult to evaluate the costs and savings of a training programme. The success of such a programme depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality of the staff who do the training. A company can often check oh savings in time and cost by examining the work performed by the workers and technicians who have completed a training programme. The evaluation of management training is much more complex than that.
21. To be successful in our training programmes, we must understand the difference between______.
A. a job description and a job specification
B. what is taught and how it is taught
C. learning about skills and training in using them
D. the savings in time and the savings in cost
22. The success of a training programme depends on_________.
A. the places where the training takes place
B. the correct evaluation of the costs and savings of the programme
C. the performance of the workers and technicians trained in the programme
D. the training methods and the quality of the training staff
23. A training specification specifies_______.
A. the performance required for a certain job
B. the behavior, knowledge, and skills expected of an employee
C. the training contents and methods
D. the costs and savings of the programme
24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. As there exist weak parts in different departments of a firm, the training of its staff is highly necessary.
B. A training specification is based on the information collected from a job description and a job specification.
C. Training in using skills and learning about skills usually do not happen at the same place.
D. It is easier to evaluate management training than to evaluate the training of workers and technicians.
25. The best title for this passage might be_______.
A. A Successful Training Programme
B. How to Describe and Specify a Job
C. Staff Training
D. The Importance of Training Workers and Technicians

The curriculum CLM follows the European guidelines for languages detailed in the Common European Framework of Reference: learning, teaching and evaluation, 2001 (CEFR), developed for Spanish by the Instituto Cervantes in its Curricular Plan of 2006.
The CEFR forms an essential part of the general project on linguistic policy of the European Council, which has been making a considerable and well-founded effort to unify guidelines for learning and teaching within the European context since 1971. It describes the common reference levels as a flexible series of levels of achievement defined by appropriate mediators. The adopted focus is based on an analysis of language use in function with the strategies used by students to carry out certain activities and processes. It assesses to what extent they can acquire the general competence and communication skills required for understanding texts and constructing discourse on certain issues and complete the tasks they face under the conditions and restrictions of the situations which arise in the different areas of social life.
According to a study carried out in 2008*, the following equivalence table is proposed between the CEFR and ACTFL.
|Advanced High, Superior
|Advanced Mid, Advanced High
|Intermediate High, Advanced Low
|Intermediate Mid, Intermediate High
|Lower Intermediate, Intermediate Mid
|Novice High
|Novice Low, Novice Mid

In the construction industry, approximately 3,700 cancer cases arise as a result of exposure to carcinogens. Construction dust is one of the five top causes of occupational cancer highlighted by the 'No Time to Lose' campaign, the others are: diesel engine exhaust emissions, solar radiation, asbestos and shift work, all commonly found on many sites.
Construction workers are at risk of a number of cancers including those affecting the skin, lungs, bladder and stomach. The Scheme's 'Spotlight on…occupational cancers' campaign looks at the subject in full.
Engagement with health services is essential if cancers are to be detected and treated at the earliest possible stage, when the outcomes are most favourable. However, many people are reluctant to consult a doctor, are unaware of symptoms or, for complex reasons, do not participate in national screening campaigns.
Wates Build Manager David Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer while working at the New Horizons Research Centre development at Teeside University. Determined to increase understanding of the disease among his colleagues, family and friends Nick White, the project manager, and David arranged a cancer champion training day on site involving a number of Wates' staff and managers from the supply chain. This was an industry first.
Newcastle-based HealthWORKS, which works with local communities to improve their health and wellbeing, is highly respected in its field and delivered the training. The charity's usual clients are drawn from organisations across the public sector so this was also an excellent opportunity for them to train a new, often hard-to-reach audience.
Cancer champions raise awareness of information about cancer with their family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues, by word of mouth and distribution of information. They also signpost people to a range of services and assist in giving information which is beneficial to others, motivating people to seek early medical assistance.
An essential aspect of the training was its interactivity. The bespoke session, which was led by Julie Stephens, HealthWORKS Food and Nutrition Manager, was informative and fun despite the seriousness of the subject. The group discussed the common types of cancer, its definition, common symptoms, the importance of attending screenings and common myths around the disease. Quizzes and games encouraged a lively debate, enabling everyone to feel involved and make a contribution to the discussions.
The group also learned that simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference to a person's wellbeing; the way this concept was introduced was ingenious. During a break, a choice of cakes was served along with tea – definitely not most people's idea of healthy eating. But afterwards, it was revealed that the chocolate cake included mashed potato and beetroot, the zesty lemon drizzle cake they had enjoyed included peas and the secret ingredient in the biscuits was courgette. So impressed were the group that some members even asked for the recipes so they could make them at home.
Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. One attendee called it "the best thing we've ever been on." Another said: "We're not just ticking a box, we're saving a life." As a result of the training, one member of the group decided to make an appointment with his GP.
An excellent outcome of the training was the high level of motivation instilled in the members of the group. Each attendee pledged to talk to at least 20 people among their family, friends and colleagues about cancer. They put up posters around the site to publicise the information and promote helplines, distributed handouts and held a toolbox talk on prostate cancer which attracted 82 people.
Their example has inspired other Wates sites to train staff as cancer awareness champions. However, the ripples have spread beyond the company. Site Manager, Nick White, discussed the success of the training at internal company meetings and with Teeside University, so they could share his story with other contractors. Nick also plans to repeat the sessions on his next project.

Altuve ignites rally against Kluber with bat, legs
HOUSTON -- Leave it to Jose Altuve to get the Astros going in their first game of the season.
Altuve, who led the Major Leagues last year in batting average and hits, stroked a two-out bloop single to center field with two outs in the sixth inning off Indians ace Corey Kluber, stole second and scored on a single by George Springer to give the Astros the only run they'd need in a 2-0 win over the Indians at Minute Maid Park on Monday night.
Kluber, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, was working on a no-hitter and had just struck out a pair of batters before Altuve ignited the Astros with his softly hit single.
"I just wanted to make contact with the ball," Altuve said. "Kluber was throwing everything for strikes and had good command. He had a really tough 95-mph sinker, with a 90-mph cutter, and that's got to be tough. I wanted to put the ball in play. As soon as I got on first base, I knew Springer was hitting behind me, and if I got to second base, he can drive me in. That's what happened, and we took the lead, and that's pretty important in the inning."
Altuve began the game by grounding out and striking out against Kluber, who retired 17 of the first 18 batters he faced before Altuve came back up in the sixth. When Altuve reached first base, he stole second on the next pitch to put himself in scoring position.

"We want to be aggressive, especially with him," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "Everybody knows he's going to go, including them. [Indians catcher Yan] Gomes throws the ball very well, and it was just a good baseball play. ... It was good to get him in scoring position there."
Springer followed with a sharp single to left field, and Altuve raced home from second base.
"I think that's just standard Altuve," Springer said. "He finds a way, and he found a way to get to second base. It's our job to drive him in."
Hinch was asked if he had a feeling Altuve was going to come through and break up Kluber's no-hit bid when Altuve came to the plate in the sixth inning.
"I think he's going to get a hit every time," he said. "I'm as surprised as anyone when he doesn't get a hit. I assume the best with him."

ForewordIn the previous post we managed to integrate our VIC-II module with our c64 core and completed a successful simulation where our VIC-II core rendered the pixels of an image of the C64 Welcome screen.
Well, I see that it is about a month ago since I wrote my previous post and the reason for that is that I have been hitting a kind of a brick wall trying to implement the c64 core with the VIC-II module on the physical FPGA.
The major issue I was experiencing was using Block RAM in Dual port mode. The basic idea was that the 6502 access the main 64KB memory via the one port and the VIC-II core access the same RAM via another port.
However, when running the design on the FPGA, it was only the 6502 core that could retrieve sensible data from the Block RAM. The VIC-II only got a single value all the time: A hex FF.
I eventually resolved above mentioned issue by eventually resolving to trial and error.
In this post I will elaborate a bit more on the problem, plus some steps I followed in trying to resolve the issue.
In doing some research in trying to solve the Dual Port Block RAM issue, I also came across some resources talking about dealing with multiple clocks in an FPGA design.
My current design do have a couple of different clock speeds: 8MHz, 2MHz and 1Mhz. I am however not dealing with them in quite the right way as discussed in the above mentioned resources.
So, in this post I will also cover a bit of the detail on how I change the way I handle the different clocks in my design.
The Problem and Initial AnalysisSo, I managed to load the implementation of the combined 6502 and VIC-II design to the FPGA as well as managing to write an output frame of the VIC-II to the SDRAM of the Zybo board.
Next step obviously was to download the frame data from the SDRAM of the Zybo to my PC as a binary file and converting it to a ppm image file so I can view it in an image editor.
The resulting image was somewhat disappointing:
No C64 welcome message, but some kind of checker pattern!
Eventually I could narrow it down that the VIC-II module is ready the character code xFF from screen memory repeatedly:
By using an Integrated Logic Analyser I confirmed that the Block RAM port connected to the VIC-II is indeed only returning the code xFF. Integrated Logic Analysers is a useful tool for performing debugging on the FPGA itself which I will cover in a coming section.
I did a bit of reading on the Internet on the issue and I had some suspicion that the issue was caused by the way I handle clocks in my design.
So, I go about making lots of changes to my design in the way I handle clocks. Sadly, though, none of these changes exchanged the checker screen for the C64 welcome screen.
A bit of light at the End of the tunnelMy Checker screen problem kept me busy for more than a month.
At one stage I even suspected that the Zynq chip on my Zybo board was part of a faulty batch in that only port of the Block RAM works.
I just couldn't explain why the one port could give sensible data for the 6502 system and not on the other port for the VIC-II. What could be different?
In the back of the head, though, I new about a significant difference: The 6502 accessed almost the complete range of the 64KB RAM whereas the VIC-II only accessed the first 16KB (as done per design).
Could it be that a port on Block RAM should access the whole range of the 64KB as part of the initialisation process?
The Xilinx documentation for Block RAM didn't really give some supporting clues for my theory. However, no harm could be done for testing my theory.
To test my theory, I made the following changes to the 64KB block RAM of my C64 design:
... reg [7:0] ram [65535:0]; reg [15:0] counter; ... always @(posedge clk_2_mhz) counter <= counter + 1; always @ (posedge clk_1_mhz) begin if (we) begin ram[addr] <= ram_in; ram_out <= ram_in; end else begin ram_out <= ram[addr]; end end always @ (posedge clk_2_mhz) begin ram_out_2 <= ram[counter]; end
In effect we have added a counter counting from 0 to 655535 and use it as an address input to the second port of our Block RAM. In this way we exercise the full address range.
Inspecting ram_out_2 with a Logic Analyser after applying above change, does look promising. In the screen memory address range we see mostly the character code 20Hex (e.g. the space) and the character codes of the welcome message in the positions expected.
It does seem that iterating through the full range of memory does indeed make a difference!
Fixing the VIC-II designBeen able to get some sensible data from both ports of the 64KB Block RAM, let us see if we can proceed to fix our VIC-II design.
The idea is continuously loop through all the contents of the 64KB Block RAM as done in the previous section for about two seconds. After the two seconds we remove the counter from the address input of the applicable port and connect the address output of our VIC-II module to that port.
This strategy boils down to the following changes:
wire [15:0] portb_add; reg [24:0] portb_reset_counter = 0; ... assign portb_add = (portb_reset_counter < 3900000) ? portb_reset_counter[15:0] : {2'b0,vic_addr}; reg [24:0] portb_reset_counter = 0; ... always @(posedge clk_2_mhz) if (portb_reset_counter < 4000000) portb_reset_counter <= portb_reset_counter + 1; ... always @ (posedge clk_1_mhz) begin if (we) begin ram[addr] <= ram_in; ram_out <= ram_in; end else begin ram_out <= ram[addr]; end end always @ (posedge clk_2_mhz) begin ram_out_2 <= ram[portb_add]; end
So, we basically define a counter counting to 4000000, which corresponds to 2 seconds with a 2MHz clock.
In the two seconds we use the lower 16 bits of the counter to give addresses in the range 0 to 65535 to the applicable port.
Just before the two seconds is over, we connect the address output of our VIC-II module to this port.
Running the design on the FPGA and doing a quick inspection with a ILA confirmed that we are more or less on track:
The first row is the address output of our 6502.
The third row is the address output of our VIC-II module. Directly below this is the data output from our Block RAM for given addresses.
The row at the bottom is the 2 MHZ clock signal driving our VIC-II. It looks a bit different from what we have seen from previous posts, but more on this later.
Debugging with an Integrated Logic AnalyserIn previous sections I mentioned the use of Integrated Logic Analysers (ILA). In this section I will describe how to use them.
An Integrated Logic Analyser is almost like an oscilloscope allowing you to inspect the signal of a wire or a register within your design.
I will start this section by describing how to add a ILA to your design.
You can add add an ILA within your Block Design editor. So, with your block design open, click the Add IP button and within the search box type ILA:
The component we are after is the first one shown, ILA (Integrated Logic Analyser). So double click on this item.
An ILA will be added to your design as shown below:
We will, however, need to configure the instantiated ILA component before it can be useful for us, so double click on it.
We need to change the Monitor type to Native. With native selected as the Monitor type, the configuration window will look as follows:
In the Probe Ports tab you need to specify the probes the size of probes that are more than one bit wide. Typically this tab will look something like the following when configured:
With the ILA configured you can hit the OK button and you will see the ILA block in your design been modified accordingly.
What remains to be done is to link up the wires to be probed:
Just a note on the clk pin of the ILA block. It is important that pin should be connected to the input clock source of the FPGA. On the Zybo board, for instance, the frequency on this clock source is 100Mhz.
With the ILA been added and wired up in your design, you kick off the synthesise design process. With the Synthesise process finished, there is a couple of additional steps you should do.
Firstly you need to open the synthesised design and drill down in the schematic till you see the ILA component.
You will see each of the signals you have defined as a probed is marked with a "bug" icon. You should now control-select all these signals. This will look something like the following:
With these signals selected, open up the Debug Window and then click the Setup Debug button. A wizard will open. Continue clicking next.
On the Nets to Debug page ensure all the lines are highlighted:
On the next page you need to select a sample depth. I always specify a value of 2048. This page in effect you specify how many samples you want to capture and display at a time.
It should be noted that an ILA makes use of the Block RAM resources on your FPGA to store the captured samples. So the more signals you want to capture and the bigger the required data depth, the less Block RAM resources you will have available for your design.
With the data depth specified, keep clicking Next till the Wizard closes. When the Wizard closes, Vivado will make some small changes to the schematic looking something like the following:
It is at this point where we can inspect some signals with the ILA.
We will be inspecting the signals in Vivado while our app is running via Xilinx SDK. So, within Vivado click Open Hardware Manager and then do a open connect. You will then be presented with a waveform window at which you can the signals you want to inspect. You are now ready to view some signal data:
To see the signals immediately you can just hit the double arrow button in the toolbar.
In our c64 core, hitting the double arrow you will see a space char (0x20) most of the time for the signal data_b(e.g. data out to the VIC-II) core.
To see part of the signal where we expect part of the welcome message, the trigger immediate would not be that useful.
This is where the Trigger on Condition comes in handy where you specify a condition that should be met before starting capturing samples.
To trigger on a condition, you first need to setup a condition. You do this by pressing the plus(+) button in the Trigger Setup panel (bottom right).
An example of a trigger been setup is shown below:
In this example a conditional trigger would only start capturing samples if addr_b encounters value 432Hex. This would fit our needs of showing part of the signal where we expect part of the welcome message.
The conditional trigger is started by pressing the play button in the toolbar.
On clock domains in the designAs mentioned earlier on, I changed the way a bit I handle multiple clocks in my design in attempt to align with best practices.
Our c64 design makes use of three clock frequencies: 8MHz, 2Mhz and 1Mhz.
The 2MHz and 1MHz frequencies both derived from 8MHz via a frequency divider which is a counter of which the 2Mhz is retrieved via bit 1 and the 1Mhz frequency via bit 2 of the counter.
In the design described previously I linked the parts of the circuit clocking on 1Mhz and 2Mhz directly to the bits mentioned above.
This approach is prone to clock skew and can cause erratic clock spikes.
Clock domains in an FPGA is quite a big topic to research, but the following post in Xilinx forum gave me a head start: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/7-Series-FPGAs/How-to-divide-a-clock-by-2-with-a-simple-primitive-without-Clock/td-p/783488
The following diagram mentioned in the forum post gave me an idea what to do:
The left side of the circuit receives a clock input, which in our case would be the 8MHz generated clock.
On the top the clock signal gets passed through a BUFG primitive. This is a buffer living in the global clock domain within the FPGA fabric. This buffer has a high fan out an minimise clock skew.
From the output of BUFG we drive a clock divider in turn drives the enable pin of a BUFGCE component.
In our design we will have two BUFGCE instances. The first instance will only enable every eighth pulse of the 8MHz signal to get a 1 MHz signal. Of course the resulting signal will not have a 50% duty cycle.
Similarly we will have a second BUFGCE instance enabling every fourth pulse of the 8Mhz signal to get a 2Mhz signal.
To incorporate these changes, I did the following:
... reg [2:0] clk_div_counter = 0; reg clk_1_enable; reg clk_2_enable; ... always @(negedge clk) clk_1_enable <= (clk_div_counter == 7); always @(negedge clk) clk_2_enable <= (clk_div_counter == 2) | (clk_div_counter == 6) ; always @(posedge clk) clk_div_counter <= clk_div_counter + 1; BUFGCE BUFGCE_1_mhz ( .O(clk_1_mhz), // 1-bit output: Clock output .CE(clk_1_enable), // 1-bit input: Clock enable input for I0 .I(clk) // 1-bit input: Primary clock ); BUFGCE BUFGCE_2_mhz ( .O(clk_2_mhz), // 1-bit output: Clock output .CE(clk_2_enable), // 1-bit input: Clock enable input for I0 .I(clk) // 1-bit input: Primary clock ); ...
You might be wondering why I didn't include an instance of BUFG in my code. The reason is that the Clock Wizard I used to create the 8MHz clock already added a BUFG instance in the path.
The final thing we should do with our clocks is constraining it.
Constraining is a widely used term in FPGA tools. Within FPGA tools you can constrain many things and clocks is one of them. When you constrain a clock in an FPGA tool, you are basically giving information about one or more clocks to the tool, like frequency, duty cycle and so on.
The FPGA tool then uses this information while performing the synthesis in order to create an optimum design and try to meet timing constraints posed by the frequency.
These clock constraints you need to add to a constraint file, which you can locate in the source tree as follows:
create_generated_clock -name clkdiv1 \ -source [get_pins design_1_i/block_test_0/inst/BUFGCE_1_mhz/I0] \ -edges {1 2 17} [get_pins design_1_i/block_test_0/inst/BUFGCE_1_mhz/O] create_generated_clock -name clkdiv2 \ -source [get_pins design_1_i/block_test_0/inst/BUFGCE_2_mhz/I0] \ -edges {7 8 15} [get_pins design_1_i/block_test_0/inst/BUFGCE_2_mhz/O]
For both clocks we specify the input pin of the applicable BUFGCE instance as the clock source. These names can be found via the Synthesised design schematic.
Similarly each constraint ends with name of the output pin of the BUFGCE as the destination clock.
The -edges option may look a bit confusing. Basically you define the shape of the destination clock signal in terms of the source clock.
You start by taking your source clock and numbering all its edges starting at one. You then specify the target clock using these edges. The three numbers in curly brackets represents the rising first rising edge of the destination clock, falling edge and the next rising edge.
The following diagram will clarify these parameters a bit:
The top graph represents the source clock with all edges numbered.
The centre graph is our 1MHz signal. It starts at source edge 1 and falls at source edge 2. It repeats at source edge 17.
Similarly we have our 2MHZ as the bottom graph. It starts at source edge 7 and falls on source edge 8 and repeats on source edge 15.
That is it concerning the clock domains for our design.
In SummaryIn this post I have covered the issues I experienced the issues I had in using a Block RAM in dual port port mode and how I got around it.
I also explained how to use Integrated Logic Analysers to inspect one or signals while your design is running on the FPGA.
I ended off the post by explaining how to properly constrain the clocks I used in the design.
In the next post I we continue getting our design to write the frame output of our VIC-II core to SDRAM.
Till next time!

'Membership stands at just below 800 and we provide four led walks per week, two at weekends and two mid-week. Two of these walks are half-day (4 or 5 miles) and two all-day (8 to 14 miles, 10 miles the norm). The typical attendance of a walk is 20 members and we usually have a lunchtime pub stop of 45 minutes, plus short morning and afternoon breaks for tea or coffee.'

The Beckham Trail has been created to offer people the chance to trace his childhood steps, detailing the landmarks that moulded the early years of his life in Waltham Forest.' Unfortunately details of the 'Beckham Trail' as such seem no longer to be online; so I have replaced the Link with a more generic one.

2007 revenue: $28.2 million
3. NextWave Media Group LLC, Evanston
Four-year growth: 8,493%
Profitable? Yes
Local employees: 10
Worldwide employees: 15
What it does: Online media buyer that places ads for clients like DirecTV and the U.S. military.
Why it grew: As the Internet overtakes newspapers and magazines as Americans' primary source of information, advertising dollars are moving to the Web. That means big business for companies like NextWave, which has differentiated itself by charging clients only when someone clicks on an ad and submits contact information, rather than charging per page view.
Fast fact: NextWave has the fewest employees in the Fast Fifty.

» Monday, June 09, 2008How You Can Tell It's Monday
You wake up with a migraine starting, so you take something, go back to bed for fifteen minutes. When you arise again, the headache is better, but last night's dinner is coming up on you. (It didn't bother you last night, but there it is this morning. No more roasted Chinese pork from Harry's, that's for sure.)
When you get to work it's 83°F in your cubicle. You start up your system, prepare to print off the items you worked on last week (you can't print them out after you do them because then the dates in DCIS won't match the signature date), and your network printer is jammed. You search where the printer tells you to look for the jam for ten minutes. Your supervisor and someone else searches, too. No one can find the jam. You try to print on your alternate printer, but it's out of toner. There's no one to ask about the toner, and even if you knew where it was, you wouldn't know how to install it because these are new printers. You originally used to print to an old printer, but evidently the IT people changed designations on them when they got the new printers.
You try to set up another printer, but the printers on your floor do not come up in the dropdown list. Instead you are presented by a list of printers in places including Dallas and Pittsburgh.
You try to call the IT help desk and the phone tells you all circuits are busy; please try again later. So you e-mail them...and then have no options left because they won't issue you a personal printer, although everyone else has one.
And the day isn't even four hours old yet.
I love Mondays. Not.
[Later: IT support called, have printer connection again. Original printer is still whining about a paper blockage. And I'm not the worst off in cubicle/office temps here: the folks that have the window offices, which are a privilege ordinarily, could use them for hothouses. Or maybe not, because even orchids kept in my team leader's office right now would be wilting.]

What's Claire been up to?
Geevor goes abroad!
hello! this week i'm mostly going to be getting up to mischief in america! yep thats right, i've been allowed out of my little dark and damp office in cornwall and off to Indianapolis! which today turned out to quite damp and cold! almost home from home. why am i in america? well its for a conference called museums and the web #mw2009. So i will be posting quite a lot about it this week, as i discover lots of interesting things that i can steal and then use at Geevor. best to be upfront about yoinking cool things from other museums….
so i arrived yesterday, sunday night – no easter eggs on the plane 😦 and battled with jet lag and the weather and ended up at the Indiana state museum today. it was awesome. they must get some major funding to do all the interactive stuff! from touch sensitive fossils, to directional speakers, to giant beavers! BRILLIANT! it was slick, and well organised and most importantly it was so much fun. there was a school group in and i was having to fight with them to play with some of the stuff. i am a big kid/museum geek, i want to play with everything! oohh and on the mining front, the museum has a nice 19th century coal mining flat cap complete with oil lamp attachment… honestly mining seems to follow me everywhere.
tomorrow is the start of the conference tour, so i get to go to the indianapolis art museum, the childrens museum and the zoo! all three do innovative stuff with the web (roaming webcams at the zoo!). i love animals, nearly as much as i love museums, so i'm stupidly excited about tomorrow. fingers crossed there will be lots of things i can nick and make them geevorish.
