Doing PhD?
Are you about to graduate very soon? Are you aiming PhD? Are you mad? You haven't had enough of books and assignments? You want to do PhD but you don't have money to pay your fees? Or you have money and you want to pay it yourself? which in that case I would say you should be a millionaire or you don't know that you can find scholarship for continueing your studeis!
Well, I suggest first make up your mind! PhD takes minimum three years and you should be prepare for it financially, physically and emotionally! Once you start it, your whole life and time will be dedicated to it! You will become part of it. Well I can't help you with your emotions or physics but I can help you with finding the right scholarship for doing PhD! If you want to do PhD in UK, this is the right time for you to start. Have you prepared your CV (resume)? If not then start it today. Then you need to search for available funded projects, where? it is easy! Just go to:
and find your subject there, then click search, go through all the projects, take a note of the available projects, salary, person in charge and of course the dead line! Then start...send them a letter containing your CV and education history. I strongly suggest to call the project holder in person and ask for more information or go and visit the university in person. Don't forget to book an appointment! It will help you a lot. Bottom line, hurry up, there are only limited funds for PhD students and if you leave it for next year it might be too late!
Good luck!

Finally It is Coming Out!
Finally it is coming out soon! It has been the best reference for more than half a century and will be. It has been updated for the first time in more than a decade and the new version will include the latest advances in modeling, biological processes, biochemical and membrance separation processes and chemical plant safety practices with accident histories. All the sections on chemical and physical data are updated and expanded. It contains over 700 detailed illustrations and after all it is Perry's Chemical Engineers's Handbook!
2007 ICCS&T
2007 ICCS&T was held in Nottingham University this year from 28th to 31st of August. Most of well-known scientists and engineers involved in coal industry were there. The atmosphere of the conference was friendly and I have to say it was a great success for its organising committee and also Nottingham University except the food which was a bit disappointment. This year most of the oral presentations focused on CO2 storage and new techniques for reducing emissions from coal combustion. In general the sessions were:
Combustion;
Gasification;
Coal preparation;
Analytical methods;
Oxy-fuel firing;
Adsorption of gases;
Gas clean-up;
Co-combustion and biomass;
Trace elements and
CO2 capture and utilisation.
There were few poor presentations from far east countries were they were really repeating the works which have been done many years ago! Unfortunately many of the studies carried out by post-graduate students suffered from poor literature review! The most important part of each novel work is reviewing past works and research. The element that many new researchers underestimates it as they want to get results as soon as possible!
The other disappoint of the conference was its prize session which the prizes were not given to those who really deserve it. Instead, I think the prize winners were selected more politically than based on the quality of the work!
Bottom line the conference brought a great opportunity to compare your work with others! To know what others are up to and where the funds and grants are spending on. I got new ideas during the conference and thanks to Nottingham Conference that I made new scientist friends!

King of All Time
Thirty years passed so quick, many things changed in these years, many people came and left us, but He never left us. He is still with us and he will be. Everyone loves him. He shares his passion and love with us with no exception. He is my King and his songs are my pray. Elvis Forever.

Logical Song by Supertramp
When I was young,
it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle,
oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees,
well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away
to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world
where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times
when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please,
please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say
or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name,
we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respecable,
presentable, a vegtable!

Iranians and Power of lying!
Iranians although have a long history, they always live in vulnerability and instability. They never had security and stability during their history! Just look at the history of Iran and see how many times Iran (Persia) has been occupied with foreigners:
- 330 BC Alexander occupied Iran (Perisa);
- 642 Arabs occupied Iran;
- 1259 Chingiz Khan occupied Iran;
- 1722 Afghans occupied Iran;
- 1729 Russians occupied north of Iran;
- 1850 Red coats occupied south of Iran.
In addition to all these major occupations, you have to take into account all natural disasters and crisis, revolutions, coups etc. If you think about these, you will understand that Iranian people, who their lives, families, properties and assets were under danger, had no other chance than lying to protect and keep them! Therefore, during long history of Iran, lying has become part of Iranians daily life and character. It is bitter but it is true that it is part of Iranian’s nature to lie and they believe their own lies too! Once I read somewhere:
“Power don't come from a badge, or a gun
Power comes from lying
Lying big and getting the whole damn world to play along with you”
This statement may be true and Iranians have understood it very well to protect themselves or gain what they want! Friends lie to their friends, manager’s lie to their colleagues, government to their people and vice versa. Lying has become something normal in Iranian’s daily life no matter where they are in the world. For 100% sure lying is the best tool for achieving your goals in short term, no matter what they are, you can get what you want in short term by lying! You can go to a job interview and lie about your skills and abilities! Bigger your lie, bigger your salary! But once you are in the position the D-day will come and you will be asked to do something you claimed you were capable of! I am sure you know the rest…. But how about the future? Can you lie forever? Can you play with people in your life forever? There will one day that your lies will be revealed and then no one believes a word comes out from your mouth! More lies you tell, more they become part of you. Then you start believing your own lies and that’s day you start making mistakes! Just read!

BBC and double standard
Just compare these two links (one news in two different language broadcast by one agency), BBC Persian use Persian Golf while BBC World use Golf for Persian Golf. What do you call that?

BBC and Persian Golf
Have you ever seen BBC use term "Persian Golf"? I haven't seen once apart from BBC Persian. Here there is another example:
