Antwatching for hours...
I'm sure you never see more ants in your life than on Banda Island. Sometimes they can be irritating, but on the other hand I found observing them is an extremely fascinating pastime.
If there's not too much action on the table yet I would recommend to put a piece of food on the table and see how they cooperate and organise themselves to carry it away.
More entertainment could be obtained giving them a second piece, maybe even a different kind of food.
Finally, If you get bored (what I cannot imagine), try to create some natural obstacles and see how they handle it...
update dec.2005: since ants are professionally banned from the table now, observing them became more of a hassle since you have to be active and take a walk to nearest bush (usually not more then a few meters away). However it remains utterly rewarding since where else can you find so easily a dozen of different species in just a single tree?
- Beaches
- Eco-Tourism
- Backpacking
The most enerjetic thing I did on Banda was pick chillies! Excellent food prepared by the staff under Dom's strict instructions. I didn't even have to bring my own Marmite (now there is a rareity).
Since the Dutch goverment have bought a ferry to run to the Ssese islands that goes straight to the big island very few tourists make the short trip to Banda wich makes it even quieter!
Directions: 3 hours boat ride from Kasenyi near Entebbe.

Transport, Banda.
It is a 3 hour trip from Kasenyi to Banda as the sun goes down it can get cold! This was the only time I wore a jacket in the whole 4 months that I spent in UG. Boarding at Kasenyi can be a right pain in the arse as scores of people want to help you on board the boat FOR A COST!
Sunset on Banda
Getting off your face as the sun goes down is an excellent way to end the day on Banda! In fact there was little else to do on Banda apart from getting of your face and eating excellent food. It's been a long time now since I was on the island and the owner at the time Dom is no longer with us so hope that things now are as I remember it.
Socializing with other islanders
At some parts of the day you might want to leave your hammock and socialize a bit. The island usually attracts a variety of guests, some of whom you may find amusing and actually good company!
Even if you happen to be the only guest, you will find Dominique a very entertaining story teller and master of bad jokes, so bad that you won't understand them unless your British...
Even more animal watching
We talked about ants movements as a favorite pastime, but what to say about all other animal life on Banda Island that you may want to explore?
Spiders in all formats are in abundance (what is funnier then to listen to the already expected screaming of new arrivals, especially younger citygirls when they check out their accommodation?), the most amazingly coloured caterpillars, nasty crawling milli- and centipedes, big numbers of bats, reptiles including monitor lizards and snakes such as green pythons (rare). Not to forget all the little creatures that I can't even name....
Birdwatching is outstanding as well as you can imagine, little colourful birds can be seen, but also lots of bigger birds in action such as fish eagles and the African hawk eagle.
In the water you may catch a glimpse of an otter familiy or a single hippo however the latter is spotted at increasing intervals.
Furthermore there are 4 resident dogs and 6 cats which all have a rather good life on the island!
Sunrise Kitobo
This is the best that Kitobo gets. This is what you see from Banda Island well before the toast and Marmite appears.

The trouble with cowboys
Format: Book
Summary: "Cowboys have never been good for Amy Sorentino. First her hard-riding father bankrupted the family farm. Then her all-hat-no-cattle boyfriend sold her out on national television, ending her promising career as a chef. Now she and her squabbling sisters have partnered up in a final attempt to save their land by starting an inn and local restaurant. So it figures that with everything on the line, Amy's key supplier is just the kind of Stetson-tipping heartbreaking bad boy she's sworn to avoid. But Kellan Reed has a few secrets of his own-and cowboy or not, Amy can't resist this kind of wild ride..."--from publisher.

Our Projects
For information about any of the following Women's Board projects, please email the Women's Board.
Annual Charity Golf Tournament
The Women's Board hosts an annual golf tournament to benefit educational scholarships, patient advocacy programs, and the GW Cancer Institute. To date, the tournaments have raised over $151,000 to support our charitable interests!
Lights of life
Each December, the Women's Board partners with GW University and GW's School of Medicine and Health Sciences to host a "Lights of Life" fundraiser where trees are illuminated with thousands of lights in the Ross Hall Courtyard and/or along the street in honor or memory of loved ones. Proceeds benefit patient programs supported by the Women's Board
Women's Health Symposium
"Woman to Woman Mind, Body and Spirit" was the theme in March 2012. Free health screenings, educational seminars, and lots of health related give-a-way products were provided. The symposium focused on stress management, diet and nutrition, exercise, diabetes, and heart health.
Nursing, Public Health and Medical School Scholarships
The Women's Board provides nursing and public health scholarships to qualified Hospital employees who are pursuing or advancing in these fields. To date, over $300,000 has been awarded to 33 students.
Each year, the Women's Board awards educational scholarships to 3rd year GWU medical school students for use towards tuition and other school-related needs during their fourth year. To date, over $50,000 has been awarded. The next set of scholarships will be awarded this spring.
Gift Shop
The Women's Board opened the District's first hospital gift shop in the main lobby of the hospital in 1948. Since then, it has been an instant hit among the patients, their families and friends. The shop sells food items, for example - sodas and snacks; essential items such as toothpaste, greeting cards, and gifts - including flowers, baby clothing and birthday/anniversary presents.
For 54 years, the shop was run by a manager and staffed by volunteers. However, in October 2002, a contract was entered into with Lori's Hospital Gift Shops, a subsidiary of Hallmark, to manage the shop with a guaranteed monthly stipend to the Women's Board.
Spiritual Care Program
The Women's Board launched a chaplaincy program in Spring of 2000 to attend to the humane and spiritual needs of patients, family members, and staff.
Seminarians from various divinity schools around the area provide the basis of our hospital ministry staff. Community clergy from many different faiths serve as our emergency staff during peak critical times. Our pastoral staff is made up of Catholic, Presbyterian, Muslim, Methodist, Jewish, Jehovah Witnesses and Episcopalian faiths.
Today, the Women's Board offers a Spiritual Care Residency program, whereby theological professionals who seek to expand their educational experience in hospital chaplaincy can apply, and those selected are awarded stipends in exchange for their efforts working in the hospital's Spiritual Care Program. Applications are currently available.
NICU Baby Care Kits
Hand sewn baby carriers and baby blankets along with a lined flannel blanket to cover the isolet are made to enhance the care of premature high risk babies. Over 500 sets have been donated in the past 9 years. Volunteers are needed to sew these sets which are furnished by the Women's Board.
Patient Advocacy
In an effort to support the diverse patient population at the hospital, the Women's Board has supported the Case Management Department in purchasing clothing and personal items for underinsured patients. This year, the Women's Board is donating $4,000.
Art Therapy
As part of patient advocacy, the Women's Board works with patients in Oncology and Rehabilitation to create various forms of art in an effort to make their hospital stay a bit easier and more comfortable. Patients are guided in creating jewelry, pottery, greeting cards and more.
Holiday Gift Giving
Each year, the Women's Board selects, purchases, wraps, and donates gifts to all patients in the hospital on or around Christmas as a celebration of all holidays. Gift donations are always welcome.
GW Cancer Institute
The Women's Board supports cancer research, treatment, and screening through its annual contribution to the GW Cancer Center. In 2011, the Women's Board donated $25,000 for this great cause.
Historical Wall
The Women's Board funded the development of a permanent art piece to showcase the wonderful volunteer service and charitable giving of our members. The Wall has been placed on the first floor of the hospital near the Gift Shop. The Board is proud of our vast history and unveiled the Wall during a ceremony in late May of 2010.
Interfaith Chapel
The Women's Board funded and oversaw development of an Interfaith Chapel for hospital patients and visitors, which opened in May 2006. It was dedicated on December 13, 2006.
The Women's Board Teaching Center
In 1998, the Women's Board contributed $110,000 toward the purchase of computers for the Himmelfarb Library Women's Board Teaching Center. The Board continues to provide financial support to the center to support education and technological advancement.
When you need to find a doctor for yourself or your family, our FREE Direct Doctors Plus® physician referral service can help.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli tank shells struck a hospital in the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing four people and wounding 60, Palestinian officials said, as Israel's defense minister vowed to press on with the war against Hamas "as long as necessary."
Meanwhile, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry headed to Cairo to try to renew cease-fire efforts aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas fighting that has killed at least 530 Palestinians and 20 Israelis and displaced tens of thousands of Gazans in the past two weeks.
Despite the new diplomatic push, Israel continued to attack targets in the densely populated coastal strip from the air and from tanks, while Hamas fired more rockets and tried to infiltrate into Israel.
A dozen shells hit the Al Aqsa hospital in the town of Deir el-Balah on Monday, Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Kidra said. He said four people were killed and 60 wounded when the shells landed in the administration building, the intensive care unit and the surgery department.
Live footage on Hamas' Al Aqsa TV station showed wounded being moved on gurneys into the emergency department.
A doctor at the hospital, Fayez Zidane, told the station that shells hit the third and fourth floor as well as the reception area.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the report.
In one of several airstrikes, 25 people were buried under the rubble of a home in the southern town of Khan Younis, including 24 from the same family. Rescue workers pulled the bodies from the wreckage Monday.
"Twenty-five people!" said family member Sabri Abu Jamea. "Doesn't this indicate that Israel is ruthless? Are we the liars? The evidence is here in the morgue refrigerators. The evidence is in the refrigerators."
Another Israeli airstrike hit the home of the Siyam family in southern Gaza, near the town of Rafah, said the Palestinian Center for Human Rights. The strike killed 10 people, including four young children and a 9-month-old baby girl, al-Kidra said.
Hamas militants, meanwhile, tried to sneak into Israel through two tunnels, the latest in a series of such attempts. The Israeli military said 10 infiltrators were killed after being detected and targeted by Israeli aircraft.
Hamas also fired 50 more rockets at Israel, including two at Tel Aviv, causing no injuries or damage. Since the start of the Israeli operation, Hamas has fired almost 2,000 rockets at Israel.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said the Gaza military operation would have no time limit.
"If needed we will recruit more reservists in order to continue the operation as long as necessary until the completion of the task and the return of the quiet in the whole of Israel especially from the threat of the Gaza Strip," Yaalon told a parliamentary committee.
Israel accepted an Egyptian call for an unconditional cease-fire last week, but resumed its offensive after Hamas rejected the proposal.
Hamas says that before halting fire, it wants guarantees that Israel and Egypt will significantly ease a seven-year border blockade of Gaza.
"The resistance (Hamas) will not respond to any pressure," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a text message, in a reference to the renewed cease-fire efforts.
Kerry left Washington early Monday for Cairo, where he will join diplomatic efforts to resume a truce that had been agreed to in November 2012.
Hamas remains deeply suspicious of the motives of the Egyptian government, which has banned the Muslim Brotherhood, a region-wide to which Hamas also belongs.
Israel invaded Gaza late last week, preceded by a 10-day air campaign. Air and artillery strikes have targeted Gaza's border areas in an attempt to destroy tunnels and rocket launchers.

Andrew Bogut looks tired. Maybe it's the 500 shots he hoisted in the morning, or the grueling legs-only workout he endured in the afternoon. Maybe he's just emotionally drained. But as he sits barefoot, folded into a leather chair in front of his agent's enormous flat-screen, a look of weariness washes over the seven-foot Australian.
It's the night of the NBA draft lottery, an event Bogut has never watched before. But tonight's drawing is different. The random bounce of these Ping-Pong balls will determine the big man's future. Dressed in sweats, Bogut wolfs down a burger as his agent, David Bauman, charts positions with each opened envelope. Bogut says he has no favorites. In fact, earlier in the afternoon, he faxed seven lottery teams a personal letter of good luck. A native of temperate Melbourne, Bogut is hoping for a warm climate. Considering the three teams with the highest probability of landing the top spot are Atlanta, Charlotte and New Orleans, he feels pretty good. Of course, the lottery almost never goes according to plan. With only the Hawks, Bucks and Trail Blazers remaining, it's time for a little positive reinforcement. As the program cuts to a drama-building commercial break, Bauman turns to Bogut and says, "We're golden."
The warm-city Hawks come up just short; the last envelope says Milwaukee Bucks. So how does he feel now? Bogut doesn't flinch: "Pretty much the same as I felt 10 minutes ago."
After David Stern signs off, reality sets in. Sure, the Bucks need a dominant big. But … "Is Milwaukee as cold as Utah?" Bogut asks. "Colder," Bauman says. "That's why I secured the deal with Nike. They make the warmest parkas." Before Bogut can register that statement, his cell buzzes with a text message from his girlfriend. Bogut's phone rings again. A friend in Milwaukee is calling with a weather report. Bogut breaks into a rueful smile as he says, "That's not funny, man."
THE RIPE adage among potential draftees is you need to impress only one team. But when you are gunning to be No. 1, there is only one team you want to impress, wind-chill be damned.
Bogut's résumé screams chalk. Wooden and Naismith winner. First-team All-America. A 20.4 ppg average and 26 double-doubles. Second in the nation in rebounding (12.2 rpg), eighth in field goal percentage (62%). Some say he is the best passing center since Bill Walton. And yet Andrew Bogut is still trying to shake the stereotype of the plodding Euro big man.
He has five weeks to make his case, to prove he is worthy of the top spot. The big-man bar was set high by last June's first two picks, Dwight Howard and Emeka Okafor. Bogut knows how hard he works and how well he sells himself will determine if he's the first to grab a hat from Stern on June 28.
The son of Croatian immigrants, Bogut grew up in a vibrant expat community in Melbourne, where he picked up the language and developed a near obsession with Drazen Petrovic. Bogut was attracted to the single-mindedness his countryman brought to his life and admired that NBA players thought Petrovic crazy for working out on a stair-climber before games. "Andrew has an Australian passport," says Bauman. "But he has the Croatian mentality."
Bogut has been zeroing in on the No. 1 spot for as long as he's been playing ball. Five years ago, he was cut from his state's under-18 team. "That's the last time I'm last," he told his father. His parents hired a private coach, Sinisa Markovic—a Croatian, of course—who picked up Bogut after school to make him run with ankle weights and dribble with blinders on.
Bogut still trains twice a day, five to six times a week, to debunk what he calls "the myth of the great white stiff." To be fair, while he shoots with the touch of Vlade Divac and passes with the grace of Arvydas Sabonis, he's a superior athlete to both. "I'm not super-athletic," he admits. "But I'm not unathletic. I can run and jump with the best at my position. I'm not going to put my energy into dunking every time I get the ball. That's stupid."
Bogut is sure his skills and competitive nature will pop in workouts, but he also knows that these days, the No. 1 spot is a place for "character" picks more often than not. And he knows he's covered on that front. As soon as he left Utah, he established the Andrew Bogut 4 Foundation, which will aid kids in all the places he's stayed: Australia, Croatia, Utah and his future NBA city. He also pledged $125,000 to upgrade the Utes' locker rooms.
Before his late-June workout with the Bucks, he'll meet with their owner, U.S. senator Herb Kohl. And although they will undoubtedly discuss his game, the conversation will also get around to charitable opportunities in Milwaukee. To prepare for the meeting, Bogut has researched all the committees the senator sits on. "He's taking the process very seriously," says Bauman. "Like it's an interview for a Wall Street investment job. We expect the senator to show up in a suit and tie. Why should Andrew come in anything less appropriate?" Bauman is sure his client's thoughtful maturity will convince the Bucks that Bogut is their guy.
But Bogut can only do what he can do. The Bucks need a big man, but they also need to pick someone to help convince their star, Michael Redd, to re-sign. Redd says he wants to stay put, but he also wants the Bucks to get serious about building a winner. "With the way Bogut plays in the post, he's perfect for a player like Redd," says one scout. But will Redd agree?
And there will always be naysayers. No less than Bogut's first Utah coach, Rick Majerus, has knocked him. Majerus, a friend of Kohl's who is helping the Bucks work out players, thinks Marvin Williams is a better pick. Majerus has said Bogut has problems with his eyes. Current Utes coach Ray Giacoletti says he didn't even know Bogut wore contact lenses, and Bauman says that his client's eyes are fine—his vision is 20/15 with contacts, 20/40 without. Bogut blames the dustup on his strained relationship with Majerus, but should it sway the Bucks, so be it. He says he's spoken to the Hawks, and they're "dying to get me." In a bit of gamesmanship, he said during the predraft camp workouts in Chicago that he'd characterize the Bucks passing on him as "their loss." He knows he's done all he can to make the Bucks have to pick him.
But even the sure thing knows there's no such thing as a lock.

What are the answers?February 05,2013
What are the answers?
Does the mayor know how to use email?
I have politely and courteously sent emails to Mayor Thomas Lauzon over the past three weeks. I have yet to receive a response from him. If perhaps someone in his office reads this, would you give the mayor a quick tutorial on email? Thank you.
The two questions I am still waiting for him to answer for me are:
What would indicate an illegal sale in a parking lot that would draw the attention of your police? Would they check on every sidewalk sale of a vehicle or motorcycle? Would they run over to verify every sale or trade of cigarettes between two people to make sure theyre of age? Are they going to talk to everybody looking at and admiring a firearm in the parking lot? Seems almost like harassment of law-abiding citizens.
What is the ordinance you referred to? I read through the ordinances listed on the city of Barres home page, and didnt find anything relevant.
Again, as stated in my email, Im not one of your citizens but do travel through Barre quite often. I would appreciate the courtesy of a response to my emails.

If you're picking up on a pun in the above headline then we're on the same page. The debut trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes was full-on awesomesauce, and the latest somehow manages to trump it. Bringing back the creepy shot of the ape standing over the bed of the sleeping couple definitely helps. But also … WOW, WETA. Tremendous work.
We get a little more of the story here, too, with an arc that brings one young monkey into the hands of James Franco's scientist Will Rodman. Said monkey grows up, grows smarter, sees that he's being taken advantage of and takes action of his own. Oh, what action he takes. DAMN, this looks awesome. Even if every other element falls apart in the finished product, it's nice to know with 100 percent certainty that we'll at least be dazzled by WETA's stunning digital effects work on those damn, dirty apes.
The Rupert Wyatt-directed film, which also stars Freida Pinto, Andy Serkis, John Lithgow, Tom Felton, Tyler Labine and Brian Cox, opens on Aug. 5.
This…looks fantastic.
Saw the trailer with X-Men First Class and thought, "F#ck YEAH!!!!" This looks excellent.
I actually want to see this. I've never seen any of the others, but these trailers would sell me on the entire series.
This might sneak in and be the coolest movie of the summer

[0001]This application claims the benefit of co-pending U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/117,932, filed 25 Nov. 2008, and U.S. application Ser. No. 12/579,829, filed 15 Oct. 2009, each of which is hereby incorporated herein.
[0002]The present invention relates to light emitting diodes (LEDs) comprising semiconductor nanocrystals, or more specifically quantum dots, used as a stable phosphor.
[0003]Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have become a desirable replacement for traditional lighting methods, including incandescent, fluorescent and halogen lighting. Compared to these types of lights, LEDs are much more energy efficient and may have much longer product lifetimes. However, the materials used to make LEDs typically limit the colors possible in an LED lighting application.
[0004]Semiconductor nanocrystals are typically tiny crystals of II-VI, III-V, IV-VI, or I-III-VI materials that have a diameter between 1 nanometer (nm) and 20 nm. In the strong confinement limit, the physical diameter of the nanocrystal is smaller than the bulk excitation Bohr radius causing quantum confinement effects to predominate. In this regime, the nanocrystal is a 0-dimensional system that has both quantized density and energy of electronic states where the actual energy and energy differences between electronic states are a function of both the nanocrystal composition and physical size. Larger nanocrystals have more closely spaced energy states and smaller nanocrystals have the reverse. Because interaction of light and matter is determined by the density and energy of electronic states, many of the optical and electric properties of nanocrystals can be tuned or altered simply by changing the nanocrystal geometry (i.e. physical size).
[0005]Single nanocrystals or monodisperse populations of nanocrystals exhibit unique optical properties that are size tunable. Both the onset of absorption and the photoluminescent wavelength are a function of nanocrystal size and composition. The nanocrystals will absorb all wavelengths shorter than the absorption onset, however, photoluminescence will always occur at the absorption onset. The bandwidth of the photoluminescent spectra is due to both homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening mechanisms. Homogeneous mechanisms include temperature dependent Doppler broadening and broadening due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, while inhomogeneous broadening is due to the size distribution of the nanocrystals. The narrower the size distribution of the nanocrystals is, the narrower the full-width at half max (FWHM) of the resultant photoluminescent spectra will be. In 1991, Brus wrote a paper reviewing the theoretical and experimental research conducted on colloidally grown semiconductor nanocrystals, such as cadmium selenide (CdSe) in particular. (Brus L., Quantum Crystallites and Nonlinear Optics, Applied Physics A, 53 (1991)). That research, precipitated in the early 1980's by the likes of Efros, Ekimov, and Brus himself, greatly accelerated by the end of the 1980's as demonstrated by the increase in the number of papers concerning colloidally grown semiconductor nanocrystals in past years.
[0006]Although nanocrystal based LEDs have been developed and commercialized to date by Evident Technologies, the relative lifetime of these LEDs has generally been limited to less than 1000 hrs. Relative LED lifetime is typically measured by comparing the total power output after a burn in period to the time required to achieve a total power output at 50% of the original signal. This shorter lifetime is primarily due to the sensitivity of the semiconductor nanocrystals to water, oxygen, light, and heat. As a result it is desired to increase the LED lifetime in order to enable high margin business and more general lighting applications.
[0007]The present invention describes single, binary and ternary mixtures of luminescent QDs and methods of treating them and configuring them by applying them to underlying LED sources in order to achieve specialty color and specialty white LEDs with a lifetime of greater than 1000 hrs with a preference to greater than 5000 hrs.
[0008]A first aspect includes a system comprising: at least one light emitting diode; and a matrix material containing at least one quantum dot comprising a coating that is at least one of the following: on the at least one light emitting diode or above the at least one light emitting diode.
[0009]A second aspect includes a method of forming a glass coating on at least one quantum dot, the method comprising: adding to a solution containing a quantity of quantum dots a quantity of APS; adding to the solution a quantity of TEOS; and drying the solution to yield a quantity of glass-coated quantum dots.
[0010]The semiconductor nanocrystals, or quantum dots more specifically, useful in the present invention are described in the commonly-owned application Ser. Nos. 11/125,120 and 11/125,129. These quantum dots comprise a core semiconductor with a thin metal layer to protect from oxidation and to aid lattice matching, and a shell to enhance the luminescent properties, especially for the II-VI or III-V materials. Non-limiting examples of semiconductor nanocrystal cores include ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, CdS, CdSe, CdTe, HgS, HgSe, HgTe (II-VI materials), PbS, PbSe, PbTe (IV-VI materials), AlN, AlP, AlAs, AlSb, GaN, GaP, GaAs, GaSb, InN, InP, InAs, InSb, InGaP (III-V materials), CuInGaS2, CuInGaSe2, AgInS2, AgInSe2, and AuGaTe2 (I-III-VI materials). The metal layer is often formed of Zn or Cd, and the shell may be of the same material as the core or any of the above listed core materials.
[0011]These and other features of this invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description of the various aspects of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings that depict various embodiments of the invention, in which:
[0012]FIG. 1 shows an illustration of a glass coated quantum dots within a silicone matrix placed on top of an LED chip according to an embodiment of the invention.
[0013]FIG. 2 shows the longevity of a glass coated nanocrystal phosphor layer taken in silicone.
[0014]It is noted that the drawings of the invention are not to scale. The drawings are intended to depict only typical aspects of the invention, and therefore should not be considered as limiting the scope of the invention. In the drawings, like numbering represents like elements between the drawings.
[0015]A system is presented comprising a coated semiconductor nanocrystal based LED system. It is understood that this may include any coating, matrix material, or lens cap material now known or later developed wherein the lifetime of the LED is above 5,000 hours. This may include but is not limited to any matrix material which may be deposited into the LED cup, or any material which may be used to surround or encase the semiconductor nanocrystals, or any material which may be used as a lens cap for an LED, providing the material enables the semiconductor nanocrystal based LED system to have a lifetime of greater than 5,000 hours.
[0016]In some embodiments, the semiconductor nanocrystal may be suspended or dissolved into an epoxy, an acrylate, or a silicone, materials traditionally used for LEDs, while utilizing a lens cap of a material of the present invention which affords a lifetime of over 5,000 hours. In another embodiment, the coated semiconductor nanocrystal may be suspended or dissolved into a matrix material of the present invention so as to allow a lifetime greater than 5,000 hours, and an epoxy, acrylate, or silicone lens cap of a traditional LED may be utilized. In a further embodiment, any combination of the two above embodiments may be utilized for maximum benefit.
[0017]In one embodiment of the present invention, the light emitted from an LED chip, e.g., an InGaN LED chip, may be between 440 nm to 480 nm. More specifically an InGaN chip may emit light between 450 nm and 470 nm and even more specifically at 460 nm. It is appreciated that unlike traditional phosphors, nanocrystals have a broadband absorption spectra and can therefore be excited by any light source having a shorter wavelength than the peak emission wavelength of the nanocrystals. It is appreciated that LED chips other than "blue" LEDs may be used such as violet and UV emitting chips (405-410 nm and 380-390 nm respectively) or green emitting LEDs. It is also appreciated that even shorter wavelength light sources and solid state light sources may be used in further embodiments.
[0018]Further, in one embodiment the active layer comprises a host matrix material which may be chosen from one of the following matrix materials; silicone, epoxy, amine modified epoxy acrylate, 1,6 Hexanediol diacrylate, and thermal or UV curable acrylates. The active layer may also contain semiconductor nanocrystals, which may be encased in glass. The purpose of the glass matrix material is two-fold. One advantage is that the size of the glass nanocrystal containing particles can be adjusted so that the scattering characteristics of the active layer may be optimized to maximize light output from the active layer, due to the scattering characteristics of glass. In addition, the glass host may protect the nanocrystals from exposure to oxygen, moisture, and chemical interaction with the matrix material, all of which contribute to the rapid degradation of the nanocrystals in LEDs of the prior art. It commonly understood in the art that using silicone as a matrix material helps protect the LED chips and extend the chip life. However difficulties in curing nanocrystal doped phosphor layers have prevented the use of silicone with nanocrystals in current commercial applications. Typical nanocrystals have surface ligands that interfere with the catalyst used to cure silicone. By replacing these ligands with a glass layer, the matrix can not only be cured but the nanocrystals themselves are more protected as well.
[0019]In a further embodiment the glass coated quantum dot phosphor layer may be used to create custom color LEDs for various lighting applications. Custom colors can be accomplished in one of two ways with this system. Quantum dots with various emission spectra may be formulated together into a glass host matrix to adjust the color composition of the phosphor layer. For example, to create a warm white LED, red emitting quantum dots combined with green emitting quantum dots may be glass coated together. This mixture can then be added to the host matrix material which is may be silicone and then deposited onto the LED chip. Alternatively a single color glass coated nanocrystal matrix can be produced and added in combination with other color glass coated nanocrystals as phosphors to produce custom colors within a matrix material. For example, green glass coated quantum dots can be added to red glass coated quantum dots in proper concentrations to achieve the desired CIE (International Commission on Illumination) color coordinates as defined by the CIE 1931 color space and added to a matrix material.
[0020]In a further embodiment the custom color LEDs described herein can be applied to a light bulb replacement fixture which includes at least one of a light emitting diode. As can be appreciated, this may consist of a single light emitting diode or a group of them. In one embodiment, small lighting applications such as warning lights in automotive lighting may only require a single light emitting diode. However, in another embodiment many light emitting diodes may be necessary. When more than one light emitting diode is needed, it should be understood that any number or grouping of the light emitting diodes may be utilized. In some embodiments, such as signage, a pattern may be formed using the light emitting diodes. The light emitting diode may be any now known or later developed light emitting diodes, which vary is size and color.
[0021]The light emitting diodes may further include a quantum dot coating on or above at least one of the light emitting diodes. The method of coating a light emitting diode is further described in commonly owned application (Ser. No. 12/579,829). It should be noted that the quantum dot coating alters the color of a light emitting diode by absorbing at least a portion of the light emitted by the LED and reemitting it, either replacing or combining with the underlying LED color. Depending on the color desired from the replacement fixture, one or more of the light emitting diodes may be coated, or all of the diodes may be coated. The type of quantum dot used may also vary.
[0022]In some embodiments the quantum dot may be selected from at least one of a group II-VI materials, III-V materials, IV-VI materials, I-III-VI materials or some combination thereof. It is understood that different sizes of each group of quantum dots results in different colors, and different group materials have different color ranges. A combination of at least one of sizes or groups of quantum dots can be combined to result in a custom color output from the light bulb replacement fixture.
[0023]Further, in some light replacement applications the system may comprise the light bulb replacement fixture further comprising a threaded screw which is electrically connected to the light emitting diode. In many embodiments, a light bulb replacement fixture may be required to be screwed into a light socket, such as incandescent replacements. In such an embodiment, the light emitting diode assembly is electrically connected to a screw structure. In an embodiment, the threaded screw fits into a traditional light bulb receiving fixture. It is understood that the size and power of the receiving fixture, or socket, may vary and any now known or later developed fixtures can be fitted with a replacement bulb fixture in accordance with embodiments of the invention.
[0024]In a further embodiment, the system may include an enclosure over the light emitting diodes. In some embodiments, the enclosure may be a traditional bulb. In other embodiments, enclosure may be a microlens array. It should be understood that there exist many light enclosures in the art that would be considered within the scope of the invention. It should also be noted that the quantum dot coating may be contained in the enclosure, as in the case when the quantum dot coating is above the light emitting diode.
[0025]In another embodiment, the system may comprise a lighting apparatus, such as a lamp. This may include desk lamps or in some embodiments, interior lighting fixtures such as ceiling lights. Further, in an embodiment the lighting apparatus may include at least one of a dial or a switch. The dial or switch may alter at least one of the input voltage, current, resistance, or power to at least one of the light emitting diodes so as to alter the color output of the at least one diode.
[0026]By varying voltage, current, or resistance, the light emitting diode may change color, which will alter the color output of the quantum dot coating as well. Turning one or more diode off will also result in an overall color change when more than one light emitting diode comprises the light fixture. Any combination of these effects may be utilized by moving the dial or switch to result in a dynamically colored light fixture. It should be understood that the dial or switch may be attached to a lighting apparatus, or it may be electrically connected, such as a switch on the wall which controls a ceiling light.
[0027]In some embodiments, a light emitting diode which may emit blue light can be altered to emit any of green, yellow, orange, red, white, or infrared light. An aqua colored light emitting diode can be altered to emit green light. A pink diode may be altered to emit purple. A green diode may be altered to emit yellow, orange, red, or infrared light. It is understood that this list is not an exhaustive list of color changes, but only a short list of examples of the colors achievable by altering an electrical property of the light replacement fixture.
[0028]Another embodiment may include a machine which may deposit quantum dots onto a light emitting diode. The machine may be programmable to deposit a specific type of quantum dot or size quantum dot in a specific concentration. In another embodiment the machine may deposit more than one type or size quantum dot in specific concentrations and in a specific ratio, so that nearly any color lighting fixture may be provided.
[0029]Below are provided several examples of LEDs and methods useful in practicing various embodiments of the invention.
Example 1
Making a Custom White LED
[0030]Glass Coating Example 1:
[0031]Add 2 ml of quantum dots with a concentration of 15 mg/ml into a 15 ml centrifuge tube, add 10 ml methanol into the tube to precipitate the quantum dots out, and spin at ˜4000 rpm for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant and add 10 ml chloroform into the tube to reconstitute the dots. Add 100 μl of APS(3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane), and stir the solution at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
[0032]Add the above quantum dots/APS solution gradually into a 200 ml beaker containing approximately 100 ml of cyclohexane and stir rapidly. Add 2 ml Igepal-520, and stir for at least 30 minutes. Add 0.2 ml 127% ammonium hydroxide solution followed by 0.5 ml of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), and stir the solution at room temperature for 15-20 hours.
[0033]After the reaction finished, add 20 ml anhydrous ethanol into the beaker and stir for 5 minutes, transfer the solution to 50 ml centrifuge tube, and spin at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes, and then discard the supernatant. Add 20 ml ethanol into the centrifuge tube to wash the precipitates, and spin at 4000 rpm briefly and discard the supernatant. Repeat the washing step one more time and dry the precipitate in an oven under vacuum at room temperature.
[0034]Glass Coating Example 2:
[0035]Add 2 ml of quantum dots with a concentration of 15 mg/ml into a 15 ml centrifuge tube, and add 10 ml methanol into this tube to precipitate the quantum dots, and spin at ˜4000 rpm for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatants, and add 10 ml chloroform into the tube to reconstitute the dots. Add 100 μl of APS(3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane), and stir the solution at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
[0036]Add the above quantum dots solution gradually into a 200 ml beaker containing approximately 100 ml of silicone oil (polydimethylsiloxane, trimethylsiloxy terminated) and stir rapidly. Add 0.2 ml 27% ammonium hydroxide solution followed by 0.5 ml of tetraethoxysilane(TEOS), and stir the solution at room temperature for 15-20 hours. After the reaction is finished, add 20 ml methanol into the beaker and stir for 5 minutes, transfer the solution into 50 ml centrifuge tube, and spin at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes, and then discard the supernatant. Add 20 ml of choloroform into the centrifuge tube to wash the solid, and spin at 4000 rpm briefly, and discard the supernatant. Repeat the washing step one more time and dry the precipitate in an oven under vacuum at room temperature.
[0037]Adding Glass Coated Quantum Dots to Silicone Matrix Material:
[0038]Add glass coated nanocrystals to a matrix material such as silicone, epoxy, or thermal or UV-curable acrylate and stir/mix vigorously until a suspension occurs. The resulting mixture is then deposited onto a light emitting diode by means of pneumatic hand-held dispensing equipment, or fully or semi automated dispensing machinery. [0039]1. The deposited material on the light emitting diode is cured by exposure to ultraviolet light or by exposure to thermal conditions consistent with the matrix material used and the manufacturers' suggested curing instructions. [0040]2. Varying the concentration of glass coated nanocrystals in the matrix material will provide color alteration when a fixed volume is deposited onto a light emitting diode. Conversely, the concentration of glass coated nanocrystals in the matrix material can remain constant while altering the volume deposited onto the light emitting diode. Either of the above methods can be used to achieve a desired color result when the glass coated nanocrystals are excited and mixed with photons of a shorter wavelength.
[0041]The foregoing description of various aspects of the invention has been presented for the purpose of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and obviously, many modifications and variations are possible. Such variations and modifications that may be apparent to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention as defined by the accompanying claims.

Kenny Murphy
"Brooklyn trio Les Racquet scoops up earnest indie-pop, frantic prog-rock, creamy doo-wop and jangly jazz in a wide net, pushing it all through a spiky guitar-driven sieve that blends the disparate elements without sanding off their edges. Despite pronouncing their name "less racket," the trio kicks up a maelstrom — witness their angular assault on Dave Brubeck's cool jazz standard "Take Five" — yet the melody always reigns supreme.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SouthernCharmer Exactly what I was looking for. I did a lot of shopping around for this type of earring before ordering this pair.

First, the good news: 64 percent of people with a family member who has celiac disease agreed to get tested for the condition – if that family member asked them to, according to a study conducted in 2012.

Five things we've learnt from Cambridge vs United
On a weekend when the "magic of the FA Cup" was alive and well, Manchester United did their best to ensure the underdogs had their 90 minutes of fame as they stumbled to a rather embarrassing 0-0 draw at Cambridge. United have, of course, suffered cup humiliations against lower sides before, but the abject performance on Friday night was a new low in a season that continues to deliver much less than what it had promised.
Here's five things we've learnt from Friday night.

El Paso Teacher's Aide Caught On Video Allegedly Hitting A Special Needs Child At School [VIDEO]
The mother of a special needs student at Olga Kohlberg school says she was told by school officials that there had been an incident during the school day involving her child and a teachers aide. The school told Celeea Lujan that her son didn't want to line up, and the paraprofessional had slapped her son lightly on the wrist. Video of the incident shows it might have been much more than that.

I have been speaking and motivating people for over 20 years. My desire is to see them embrace the joy and freedom they were created to experience.
Whether speaking to thirty or 3000 I get people "on their feet" right from the start because the best sessions are both fun and thought-provoking.
As the author of an international blog and the motivational book Choose a Better Life: Common Sense for Uncommon Living, my mantra has been "you can't always control what happens to you, but you can always control how you respond to what happens to you."
Both my blog and book are full of tidbits of treasure. Each designed to be a quick read providing a specific tip on how you can and increase the joy you experience every day as well as your quality of life.
As a tool to help process my PTSD I began painting – constantly. Now I paint to heal, to communicate, and to celebrate.
I am honored to have my art displayed in homes and corporations all across the country.I look forward to continuing to create pieces that minister to my soul and speak to the hearts of others.
