					<description><![CDATA[This product will allow you to generate a unique numeric code (derived from your computer's machine number) to unlock the Commercial Platemaker Wizard for a single PC. The license is permanent and for that computer and does not require renewal each year.

<p><a class="Button" href="/the-platemaker-wizard">About the Platemaker Wizard</a></p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can download the platemaker wizard software and install it on your computer to run as a Microsoft Excel Addin for free. In pre-activation mode, you can build all workbooks that are specified by the tutorial templates that come shipped with the program and you can also do all the exercises that are part of the first tutorial that demonstrates how the program can be used to analyse data and automated the creation of GraphPad Prism Graphs and other data visualisations.</p>
<p>However, if you want to use the program to build your own experiments then you need to purchase a single lifetime license to run on a single computer. There are two licenses you can purchase. This license is for academic labs meaning that your workbooks are organised under the structure Projects\Project Manager\Experiment Title. The commercial license changes the default platemaker wizard so that workbooks are saved under organisation\customers\Experiment\Experiment title.</p>
<p>The commercial version has a much more CRM-like experimental register whilst the academic version has a more basic experimental register that is compatible with academic laboratory management.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This VBS script file allows you to manage your many photos and videos that are captured by the multiple mobile phones in your family and then moved into cloud storage. The program has 4 different functions. Firstly, it can search your system Pictures or Videos folder, find image and video files, identify when they were taken and move them into month subfolders which are inside the year the photo/image was acquired. Secondly, the program can be used to search any folder and subfolder on your computer and move images or videos it finds back into the system Pictures or Videos folder. That way it is possible to disentangle your images and videos from all the other documents you keep on your computer.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The Timesheet database is designed for contractors who must keep track of all their work activities so they can submit claims back to their employer/customer. Once data has been entered, the program can produce 5 different reports:
<ol class="ProductShortDescription">
 	<li>Activity-Centric Timesheet</li>
 	<li>Date-Centric Timesheet</li>
 	<li>Historic timesheets grouped into claimed-date tables</li>
 	<li>Expense-claim Timesheet</li>
 	<li>Total Database report (subset of records can be selected using table view filters.</li>
</ol>
Take a look at the image gallery for examples of each report and screenshots of the various forms that are available in this Access database.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This program has two uses. If you are a contract worker, who must submit timesheets to your employer, then this program is for you as it will keep track of your activities and generate detailed timesheet reports to submit with your expenses claim.</p>
<p>However, this program also has a second use. If you are a university or school student, you can use this program to capture the amount of time you spend on revision and personal study. As a tutor of university students, my advice to all those I have tutored is keep a formal record of the number of hours you spend revising before your exams. This is important because it helps you to understand the amount of time you need to spend revising to obtain whatever mark you want to obtain for your degree or other study course.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[This macro file extends the open source image analysis software Image J so it can convert a directory of tiff images produced by a GE InCell analyser high Content screening machine into a single hyperstack for consistent image manipulation. The program was written in 2011 when Imagen Biotech first purchased an InCell analyser. These programs maybe less useful now as I assume that GE have continued to develop their software. However I make this program available just in case someone does find it helps them with High Content Screening image manipulation using a GE In Cell Analyser.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The GE In Cell analyser produces separate tiff files for every field and channel captured by the instrument. In High Content Analysis users often what to pick example fields from a well which reflects a certain treatment condition of the experiment. Furthermore, a user may want to produce examples images from control and treated conditions to show a visual example of the dynamic range of a particular assay. Therefore, it is important that any pixel mapping used by image analysis software is consistently applied across all the example images.</p>
<p>The software produced by GE to deal with these challenges back in 2011 was limited. However, there is an open source software available called Image J which has very powerful image handling functions. It has been possible for us to write some extensions to Image J which allow users to load well images from an InCell Experiment and create a 3 dimensional hyperstack that allows one to quickly apply a consistent pixel map to all the images within the stack.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[It is midsummer in the year 2038 and snowing in London. James Frankham is a young talented civil servant who is on the fast track to success. Yet like so many others, James is deceived. His wrong beliefs about reality could cost him dearly as his competitor, Ian Marias, now has leverage over his colleague in relation to a major mistake James has made. The mistake involves a project to protect London from flooding due to global heating.

Meanwhile in Hell, the great demon Wormwood is about to take to a podium to deliver his lessons to the junior demons on how to create the many false narratives that pervade the 21st century. Wormwood has learnt well from his Uncle who once sent him a series of letters which were intercepted by another human, C.S Lewis, in the 1940s.

Yet as with all presentations in Hell, there must be a human case study. The case study this year is James Frankham and Fiona Jenkins. Fiona's soul belongs to Wormwood's eternal Enemy, God. Fiona is a Christian. It is time to see if Fiona's soul can be won over as James' assigned demon, Saleos, gambles Frankham’s soul for hers.  An audacious move that, if successful, is sure to win the support of his leader and increase his demonic status proving that he is indeed Wormwood’s equal. If you would like to give any feedback on the book please do feel free to use the feedback from in the product description tab below.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Wormwood Deceptions is a continuation of C.S Lewis’s Screwtape letters. The novel covers many topics that are a challenge to the modern-day church. In this story, Wormwood has become a powerful demon in hell who is no longer in charge of tempting individual humans but rather controls the false narratives that currently pervade modern 21st century society.</p>
<p>The book focuses on an unfolding drama that involves a young Civil Servant called James Frankham. As this story unfolds on earth, there are parallel chapters where Wormwood is explaining to more junior demons how he has created powerful deceptions to entrap as many people as he can for the Night Spirit’s (the title the demons use for Satan) kingdom.</p>
<p>Some of the deceptions covered by Wormwood include left/right wing politics, human sexuality, scientism, atheism and Evangelical pharisaism. The book also indirectly covers other topics such as suffering.</p>
<p>The Appendix is mainly there for scientists as it gets to the heart of a foundational mathematical argument which is key to New Atheism. If you would like to give me any feedback on the book please do so using the feedback form below.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Word Mol 1 is a Microsoft word add-in that makes Word into a simple Molecular biology program. The add-in allows you to calculate the molecular weight of a DNA sequence, reverse complement it, put it into codon spacing, search it for multiple restriction enzymes. The program even allows you to perform a virtual cloning experiment in Word checking your vector and insert sequences for correct restriction sides and even that the insert maintains the correct reading frame.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the first few years of the 21<sup>st</sup> century, I was working on a molecular biology project to create a probe that could detect protein changes in living cells in real time. The project went by the acronymn LADDERS (<b><u>L</u></b>ive <b><u>A</u></b>ntigen <b><u>D</u></b>etection <b><u>D</u></b>uel <b><u>E</u></b>pitope <b><u>R</u></b>eporter <b><u>S</u></b>ystem) but that is another story.</p>
<p>To help me work up various cloning strategies, I wrote a useful Word addin that allows you to open DNA sequence files and do basic molecular biology manipulations. The program even allows you to do a virtual cloning experiment including checking for the conservation of reading frame.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The Desktop photo program fixes a limitation in Windows 10 &#038; 11 which only allows you to display photos from a <strong><em>single</em></strong> folder on your computer desktop. With this program Windows 10, like its predecessor, will display <strong><em>all</em></strong> your photos in your pictures directory no matter how many sub folders deep they are stored.

Additionally the program also allows you to quickly navigate from the current desktop photo to its image file. This is great because it quickly allows you to edit or delete the desktop image file so you can begin to sort out all your photos as Windows 10 randomly displays them for you on your desktop.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before Microsoft released Windows 10, it was possible to set your desktop to cycle through your personal photos. With the release of Windows 10, while it is still possible to set your wallpaper to your pictures folder, the operating system no longer looks in any subfolders. Therefore, if you’re like most people, and you organise your photos into subfolders, none of them will be displayed on your desktop. This program fixes this limitation allowing you to set Windows so that it looks through all your photos no matter which subfolder they are in.</p>
<p>It does this by creating a folder in your public directory called Picture links (full path c:\users\public\DesktopPhotoEdit\PictureLinks.</p>
<p>Inside this directory it places shortcuts to all your photo no matter what subfolder inside the picture folder they are located. By placing all the links into a single folder it effectively “flattens” the folder structure so that all the photos are now accessible to Window 10 and Windows 11.</p>
<p>The program also allows you, with a simple keyboard shortcut, to go directly from your desktop wallpaper photo to the photo file so you can edit or delete it. This is great because it means you can now use your desktop wallpaper to help sort through your photos.</p>
<p>When you get a photo you don&#8217;t like, you simply push <em>&lt;CTRL&gt;+&lt;ALT&gt;+&lt;Q&gt;</em> and you are taken directly to the photo where you can delete or edit it. I fix my photos which contain red eyes using this method.</p>
