With this cold and rainy weather, as much as I like doing bread in the wood fire oven it becomes a bit difficult to make it every weekend. This is how, today I said I am going back to the conventional oven this time.
Also due to the lack of time, I chose a yeast based bread and added an extra sourdough that was meant to be discarded.
Uh... it was so quick and so easy to do it. No bannetons were needed, the loaves were put straight into the pans after the first fermentation. However with all these advantages, I find that the sourdough bread is always superior.
I went back looking for my pans as lately, I discovered that my daughter likes very much sandwiches that I make in the sandwich maker. As my bread slices coming generally from rustic breads are not having the nice squared shapes that suits best the sandwiches, preparing them in the sandwich maker was always a challenge. And you probably know, for kids is so important that the sandwiches look so much with the ones seen on commercials, photos or simply colleagues or friends.
As the problem was only about the shape, I had to adapt and make my breads more squared. This was simply achieved by using some classic cake pans. So here they are, not perfectly square but almost.
9:00AM Mix all ingredients with a standing mixer.
9:15AM Cover the bowl with a lid and let it stand for the first fermentation.
12:15AM Take the dough out of the bowl and shape it in 2 big oblong loaves.
12:20AM Prepare 2 cake pans, layered with baking paper on the bottom. Put the dough in the pans and let them raise for the 2nd fermentation. Cover them with a towel.
13:30 Turn on the oven at 200ºC and put the 2 pans inside. Let them bake for one hour.
14:30 Take the breads out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
This recipe was inspired from Pain maison : Spécial machine à pain- Cathy Yta, page 26.

Have you seen the video BBC One’s series, Pets – Wild at Heart, put out last week? It’s only a couple of minutes long and shows a hamster stuffing his cheeks. You might ask what’s so special about that, but wait until you see the video! The hamster is being scanned with an X-ray machine, so you can watch the pouches being filled as it’s putting as much food into his mouth as he can manage. It turns out those pockets actually extend up to its back hips, solving the mystery of how hamsters store so much food in their cheeks.
A hamster’s cheek pouches are located on both sides of the mouth, forming two separate “bags” extending back to the rear hips. Cheek pouches not only give the hamster a way to collect food quickly but as temporary storage and a means to transport their hoarded food to a better place. When full, the pouches can make the hamsters’ heads double, or even triple in size. Whoa!
Especially in the wild, this method of food-collecting gives the animal a measure of protection. They can gather their supplies fast, and then take them to safety in a sheltered area.
Some female species of hamsters have even been known to hide their young in their cheek pouches to carry them away to safety when they fear danger. Other species fill their pouches with air to help them float while swimming.
Isn’t this amazing? I hope you have enjoyed learning how hamsters store so much food in their cheeks as much as I enjoyed doing the research.
How can you not smile at this!
I know. Pretty cute, isn’t it? Thanks for visiting my blog today, Norma. Come back soon!
Great post. i always wondered this question. I am looking forward to the day when my son, asks me such questions about animals. The who, what, where and why of the animal kingdom is so fascinating.
Yes the animal kingdom really is very fascinating. I love to learn more about animals that we often take for granted and then share this information with others. It’s a fun thing to do. Thanks for stopping by, Lozelle. Come back soon!
That was great. We didn’t know that.
Hay, thanks for stopping by my blog! I was at your Funny Farm earlier today for the first time too. I’m happy to meet you. 🙂 Take care!
It sure is, Jan. All the best to you!
I could watch hamsters (and gerbils) all day long. They’re hilarious and it is amazing how much stuff they can store in there.
It is clever, isn’t it? You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. Thanks for stopping by, Speedy Rabbit!
tThat is so amazing! Animals are too darn cool sometimes.
I know! Aren’t they though? Thanks for stopping by, Jenn! I appreciate you!

Three Channel Islanders are known to have been imprisoned in the internment camp in Giromagny (Internierungslager Giromagny, Ilag Giromagny, Ilag VIII H, Les casernes de Giromagny) in the Territoire de Belfort district of Eastern France, very near the Swiss and German borders. Barracks were built in 1913 in Giromagny to accommodate more soldiers, as the length of military service for French draftees had increased from two to three years. Ten buildings measuring 12 by 50 metres were constructed. A French infantry battalion was stationed there at the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, and by 1941 the barracks were occupied by the German Großdeutschland army regiment, who were complicit that same year in war crimes in Serbia. In 1943 the barracks were occupied by the Württemberg regiment, consisting of new German Army recruits.
The Ilag (a German syllabic abbreviation for Internierungslager or internment camp) given the designation ‘VII H’ opened June 1942 in Tost (then in the German district of Kattowitz in Upper Silesia, today called Toszek in the Silesian district of Poland). The camp was a civilian internment camp and most of the internees were British. In November 1943, the Tost camp’s internees were transported to the barracks at Giromagny, where the designation Ilag VII H was retained.
This internment camp for men is situated in a French military barracks near Belfort, France, not far from the Swiss frontier. The internees were transferred from Ilag Tost in Upper Silesia, Germany.
On arrival at Giromagny, the internees found that the accommodation reserved for them in seven of the barrack buildings was extremely uncomfortable, cold, and badly lighted. The barracks, which have stone floors, have been insufficiently heated during the winter; this has been particularly trying, especially for the more elderly internees, who attribute numerous cases of illness to this cause. The rooms at the camp are large, each one accommodating 20 internees, who sleep in two-tier beds with palliasses, straw pillows and two blankets.
The lavatory accommodation is outside the building. The washing facilities are entirely inadequate, only cold water being available.
Recently, however the lighting has been improved and each internee can have a warm shower once a week. The food and medical attention are satisfactory and there is a good supply of Red Cross parcels. (Visited March ).
The length of time that Cyril Hockey spent in Giromagny internment camp is unknown, but he and George Ferbrache were both eventually transferred from there to Marlag & Milag Nord Camp in Northern Germany. By the time that Giromagny was liberated by North African troops of the French Free Forces in November 1944, the camp had been disbanded and its prisoners transferred further into what remained of the German Reich. After liberation, the barracks were first occupied by various French Army regiments, then by orphaned Parisian children, and later by workers from the nearby Peugeot automobile factory. The site was purchased by the city of Giromagny in 1949 and since then has housed small workshops and businesses. The camp barracks are still standing and may be toured virtually via Google street view (see Links below). There is a memorial to the Free French Forces at the military cemetery in Giromagny, but there are no known memorials at the barracks site to commemorate its former use as an internment camp for British civilians.
All three Channel Islanders imprisoned in Giromagny survived the war, but like most survivors, probably suffered from a variety of chronic physical disabilities and post-traumatic stress disorders for the rest of their lives.

Education in the North Korea is universal and state-funded schooling by the government. The national literacy rate for citizens at age of 15 and older is 100 percent (approx.). Children go through one year of kindergarten, four years of primary education, six years of secondary education, and then on to university.
In 1988 the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) reported that North Korea had 35,000 preprimary, 59,000 primary, 111,000 secondary, 23,000 college and university, and 4,000 other postsecondary teachers.
Formal education has played a central role in the social and cultural development of both traditional Korea and contemporary North Korea. During the Joseon Dynasty, the royal court established a system of schools that taught Confucian subjects in the provinces as well as in four central secondary schools in the capital. There was no state-supported system of primary education.
During the 15th century, state-supported schools declined in quality and were supplanted in importance by private academies, the seowon, centers of a Neo-Confucian revival in the 16th century. Higher education was provided by the Seonggyungwan, the Confucian national university, in Seoul. Its enrollment was limited to 200 students who had passed the lower civil-service examinations and were preparing for the highest examinations.
The late 19th and early 20th centuries witnessed major educational changes. The seowon were abolished by the central government. Christian missionaries established modern schools that taught Western curricula. Among them was the first school for women, Ehwa Woman's University, established by American Methodist missionaries as a primary school in Seoul in 1886. During the last years of the dynasty, as many as 3,000 private schools that taught modern subjects to both sexes were founded by missionaries and others. Most of these schools were concentrated in the northern part of Korea.
After Japan annexed Korea in 1910, the colonial regime established an educational system with two goals: to give Koreans a minimal education designed to train them for subordinate roles in a modern economy and make them loyal subjects of the emperor; and to provide a higher quality education for Japanese expatriates who had settled in large numbers on the Korean Peninsula.
The Japanese invested more resources in the latter, and opportunities for Koreans were severely limited. A state university modeled on Tokyo Imperial University was established in Seoul in 1923, but the number of Koreans allowed to study there never exceeded 40 percent of its enrollment; the rest of its students were Japanese. private universities, including those established by missionaries such as Sungsil College in P'yongyang and Chosun Christian College in Seoul, provided other opportunities for Koreans desiring higher education.
After the establishment of North Korea, an education system modeled largely on that of the Soviet Union was established. According to North Korean sources, at the time of North Korea's establishment, two-thirds of school-age children did not attend primary school, and most adults, numbering 2.3 million, were illiterate. In 1950 primary education became compulsory. The outbreak of the Korean War, however, delayed attainment of this goal; universal primary education was not achieved until 1956. By 1958 North Korean sources claimed that seven-year compulsory primary and secondary education had been implemented.
In 1959 "state-financed universal education" was introduced in all schools; not only instruction and educational facilities, but also textbooks, uniforms, and room and board are provided to students without charge. By 1967 nine years of education became compulsory. In 1975 the compulsory eleven-year education system, which includes one year of preschool education and ten years of primary and secondary education, was implemented; that system remains in effect as of 1993. According to a 1983 speech given by Kim Il Sung to education ministers of nonaligned countries in P'yongyang, universal, compulsory higher education was to be introduced "in the near future." At that time, students had no school expenses; the state paid for the education of almost half of at the time North Korea's population of 18.9 million.
In 2012 Chief Kim Jeong Eun has advocated that North Korea should expand its compulsory education from 11 years to 12 years. According to Joong Ang News in North Korea, a bill to expand its compulsory education has been passed last September 2012. Prior to this reformation, North Korea had eleven years of free education system which consisted of one year of kindergarten, four years of elementary school and six years of secondary school prior to college. After reformation, now, it resembles education system in South Korea which consists of six years of elementary school, three years of middle school and three years of high school.
In the mid 1980s, there were 9,530 primary and secondary schools. After graduating from people's school, students enter either a regular secondary school or a special secondary school that concentrates on music, art, or foreign languages. These schools teach both their specialties and general subjects. The Mangyongdae Revolutionary Institute where the children of the North Korean elite are prepared for service as officers in the Korean People's Army is an important special school where modern training in economics and computers is stressed as is the Kang Pan Sok Revolutionary School.
In the early 1990s, graduation from the compulsory education system occurred at aged sixteen. Eberstadt and Banister report that according to North Korean statistics released in the late 1980s, primary schools enrolled 1.49 million children in 1987; senior middle schools enrolled 2.66 million that same year. A comparison with the total number of children and youths in these age brackets shows that 96 percent of the age cohort is enrolled in the primary and secondary educational system.
School curricula in the early 1990s are balanced between academic and political subject matter. According to South Korean scholar Park Youngsoon, subjects such as Korean language, mathematics, physical education, drawing, and music constitute the bulk of instruction in people's schools; more than 8 percent of instruction is devoted to the "Great Kim Il Sung" and "Communist Morality." In senior middle schools, politically oriented subjects, including the "Great Kim Il Sung" and "Communist Morality" as well as "Communist Party Policy," comprise only 5.8 percent of instruction.
Outside the formal structure of schools and classrooms is "social education." This education includes extracurricular activities, family life, and the range of human relationships in North Korean society. Attention is paid to the influence of the social environment on the growing child and its role in the development of his or her character.
The idea of social education is to provide a carefully controlled environment in which children are insulated from unplanned influences. According to a North Korean official interviewed in 1990, "School education is not enough to turn the rising generation into men of knowledge, virtue, and physical fitness. After school, our children have many spare hours. So it's important to efficiently organize their afterschool education."
In his 1977 Theses on Socialist Education, Kim Il Sung described the components of social education. In the Young Pioneer Corps and the Socialist Youth League, young people learn the nature of collective and organizational life in North Korea. Some prepare for membership in the Korean Workers' Party. In students' and schoolchildren's halls and palaces, managed by the SWYL Central Committee, young people participate in many extracurricular activities after school.
There are cultural facilities such as libraries and museums, monuments and historical sites of the Korean revolution, and mass media dedicated to serving the goals of social education. Huge, lavishly appointed "schoolchildren's palaces" with gymnasiums and theaters have been built in P'yongyang, Mangyongdae, and other sites. The palaces provide political lectures and seminars, debating contests, poetry recitals, and scientific forums. The Students' and Children's Palace in P'yongyang attracted some 10,000 children daily in the early 1990s.
Institutions of higher education include colleges and universities; teachers' training colleges, with a four-year course for preparing kindergarten, primary, and secondary instructors; colleges of advanced technology with two or three-year courses; medical schools with six-year courses; special colleges for science and engineering, art, music, and foreign languages; and military colleges and academies. Kim Il Sung's report to the Sixth Party Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea in October 1980 revealed that there were 170 "higher learning institutions" and 480 "higher specialized schools" that year.
In 1987 there were 220,000 students attending two- or three-year higher specialized schools and 301,000 students attending four- to six-year colleges and university courses. According to Eberstadt and Banister, 13.7 percent of the population sixteen years of age or older was attending, or had graduated from, institutions of higher education in 1987-88. In 1988 the regime surpassed its target of producing "an army of 1.3 million intellectuals," graduates of higher education, a major step in the direction of achieving the often-stated goal of "intellectualization of the whole society."
Every university in North Korea has to receive certain percentage (twenty to thirty) of discharged soldiers (served longer than three years) or workers (employed longer than five years).
Kim Il Sung University, founded in October 1946, is the country's only comprehensive institution of higher education offering bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. Its enrollment of 16,000 full- and part-time students in the early 1990s occupies, in the words of one observer, the "pinnacle of the North Korean educational and social system." Competition for admission is intense.
According to a Korean-American scholar who visited the university in the early 1980s, only one student is admitted out of every five or six applicants. An important criterion for admission is senior middle school grades, although political criteria are also major factors in selection. A person wishing to gain acceptance to any institution of higher education has to be nominated by the local "college recommendation committee" before approval by county- and provincial-level committees.
Kim Il-Sung University's colleges and faculties include economics, history, philosophy, law, foreign languages and literature, geography, physics, mathematics, chemistry, nuclear power, biology, and computer science. There are about 3,000 faculty members, including teaching and research staff. All facilities are located on a modern, high-rise campus in the northern part of P'yongyang.
Other notable universities include Kim Chaek University of Technology and the University of Natural Science, which focuses on computer science and natural science related to nuclear research. Pyongyang University of Foreign Studies, trains working level diplomats and trade officials, and Kim Hyong Jik University trains teachers.
Choson Exchange, a non-profit organization founded by Harvard, Yale, Wharton School and Singaporean graduate students, also runs consulting and training programs in Finance, Business and Economics with Kim Il Sung University and the State Development Bank in North Korea. Their programs target North Koreans under the age of 40 and combine OpenCourseWare materials and on-site lectures to deliver year-round training.
Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST), scheduled to open in 2008, is the country's only joint venture institute of higher learning, founded, funded and operated by Evangelical Church groups and people from both North and South Korea, as well as China and the USA. It plans to recruit around 200 Master and PhD level students annually, from both Koreas, and with half of faculty hired from universities and research institutes abroad. At this university, courses will be taught in Korean and English. In addition, the Pyongyang Business School offers short courses given by foreign lecturers. It was founded by the Swiss government and helps teach students business management. Another economic educational institution is the Centre for the Study of the Capitalist System, established in 2000.
Because of the emphasis on the continued education of all members of society, adult or work-study education is actively supported. Practically everyone in the country participates in some educational activity, usually in the form of "small study groups."
In the early 1990s, people in rural areas were organized into "five-family teams." These teams have educational and surveillance functions; the teams are the responsibility of a schoolteacher or other intellectual, each one being in charge of several such teams. Office and factory workers have two-hour "study sessions" after work each day on both political and technical subjects.
Adult education institutions in the early 1990s included "factory colleges", which teach workers new skills and techniques without forcing them to quit their jobs. Students work part-time, study in the evening, or take short intensive courses, leaving their workplaces for only a month or so. There are also "farm colleges", where rural workers can study to become engineers and assistant engineers, and a system of correspondence courses. For workers and peasants who are unable to receive regular school education, there are "laborers' schools" and "laborers' senior middle schools," although in the early 1990s these had become less important with the introduction of compulsory eleven-year education.

For my background I distressed it with picked raspberry, cracked pistachio, squeezed lemonade and abandoned coral. The stamp set comes with 5 cute little monster that stamps solid images. I stamped all of them with various MFT inks using the MISTI tool and cut them with the coordinating dies. I loved the sentiments from this stamp set because you can use it for different occasions. I centered the sentiment then heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I then positioned all the monsters around the sentiment and adhered them using Tombow mono liquid glue. To complete my card panel I added a scallop frame border.
That is all from me today. I enjoyed making this fun and colorful card. I hope you like it! Thank you so much for stopping by. Oh and have a fun and safe Halloween. See you back next week!

It seems no matter the track the Bone Stocks are racing at, the man to watch this season has been Kyle Neumeister, who has scored multiple victories through the first two months of racing.
So far this year, Neumeister has been undefeated at Sunset Speedway, winning all five features. He also picked up a checkered flag at Delaware Speedway, as well as winning the Pure Stock “STOCK” Car Nationals at Flamboro Speedway. While some people have wondered why his talents have gone up a notch in the racing ladder, Neumeister says the bone stocks are a perfect fit for him due to the cost.
With the success that he’s had at Sunset Speedway thus far, it’s no surprise to hear his plan is to finish out the year there, while traveling to other speedways across the province to take part in the variety of invitationals.
For Neumeister, racing has always been in his blood, beginning with his grandfather Art Neumeister who ran in the CASCAR Series. Kyle then began watching his uncle run Enduros each weekend, which got him addicted.
Since the beginning of his career, he has been picking up checkered flags, with the most memorable moment coming when he got to race his dad.

Born, 16 October 1870, Kew, Invercargill, New Zealand.
Married, 27 September 1898, to Victoria Emily Mountney, Cromwell (now known as Bluff) New Zealand.
Died, 4 September 1928, Auckland, New Zealand.
This is still very much a draft edition and is online to solicit comment and corrections.
Born the ninth of ten children, Percy’s parents were; William Burcher Kingswell and Elizabeth (nee Bryant). Little has yet to come light of Percy’s childhood other than the extra-ordinary gift the his father made him around 1885, and to his four brothers of £5,000 each. Percy being around 15-years of age had his gift invested for him.
When his next oldest brother, George Kingswell, left for Australia in 1888, Percy was then considered the next most likely Kingswell son to take over the running of the “Morningside” farm/ranch in Southland. It seems unlikely that he ever did.
He appears in the Westcoast Times on 29 June 1894, as a travelling agent for the A.M.P. Society.
He sues Jacob Ziman for a £339 on the loss on shares in Reefton, Westcoast. He is not successful – Taranali Herald 27 Feburary 1897.
“In the dredging boom he was very successful in a Company called the Pactolus Gold Dredging Coy. Ltd., near Reefton, in which he had a big interest, and which paid some handsome dividends. I remember his telling me of one of his most successful mining ventures, and that was his purchase from the discoverers of a Reef which is now known as the Blackwater Mines on the West Coast. His story was that one evening, in Dawson’s Hotel, in Reefton, he heard that a couple of miners had found something good in the Blackwater district. Next morning he hired a horse and rode away out, and got in touch with the miners who had actually found some payable-looking quartz. After some discussion he asked them if they would give him an option to purchase the property, and eventually the terms they agreed to accept were £100 deposit, and six-months’ option to pay them £2,000 for their mine and rights. Having the agreement and option signed, he returned to Reefton and engaged a number of miners to go out to Blackwater to open up the reef. In about a month’s time the reef began to open up so well that it looked as if he had got on to something really good. He then approached my old friend Mr. E. W. Spencer, who was the attorney for the Consolidated Goldfields Ltd., of London, and told him that he had a reef at Blackwater that might interest his Company, and asked him if he would come out and have a look at it. Mr. Spencer went out with him, was very much impressed with it, and asked Kingswell what he wanted for it. Kingswell said he would give him an option for four months, to be paid the sum of £30,000 in cash if Spencer decided to complete the purchase. They returned to Reefton, and that night agreements were draw up. Next day Mr. Spencer set about getting more men to work at the Reef. It opened up so well that within three months he communicated with Kingswell and told him he was going to purchase the mine, and to come along and he would give him his cheque for £30,000. Later on the reef was floated in London, and was known as the Blackwater Mines Ltd., with a capital of £250,000. For many years it paid very good dividends, and is still at work, but not doing as well as formerly.
P. N. Kingswell was one of the most brilliant and brainy men I have ever met, and although he was a speculator, and sometimes did things that the average businessman would not do, the fact remains that he was above the ordinary intellect.
Above: Percy in the Westcoast area – sometime before or around 1900.

“After making his profit out of the Blackwater Mine, he settled in Nelson, but it was too slow in that town for a man of his activity, so he moved to Auckland, where he became interested in the New Zealand Portland Cement Co., now known as Wilson’s Cement, and also in the Waihi-Paroa Gold Mining Company.
Some years after the collapse of the dredging boom, he and I jointly took up a large area at Ngahere, near Greymouth, with a view to having it thoroughly prospected. If prospects warranted, we proposed to form a Company.
Above: one of Percy’s gold dredging interests on the Westcoast.
On 29 September 1898 Percy married Victoria Emily Mountney. Emily, as she was known, was the daughter of Charles Mountney, a local Hotel Keeper. At the time of the wedding Percy listed his usual place of residence as Reefton and occupation as a Mining Investor.
Around 1900 their first child, Muriel was born. Followed on around 1902 by Vera.
Reefton Find- The Inaugahua Herald says – Informatin was recieved yesterday that valuable stone had been struck in the old Phoenix mine, now owned by Mr P N Kingswell. Some 27 years ago a small crushing of stone gave the shareholders a dividend of half a crown, the available profit being £2,500, after which the reef gave out. Recently, Mr Kingswell acquied the property and operations have resulted in very payable stone again being found.
Percy first appears in the 1904 Wise’s Postal Directory and is listed as a “Mining agent and share broker” of both Reefton and Greymouth. This listing is repeated in the 1905 edition but in 1906 he is listed only in Reefton.
On 12 December 1906 the Otago Witness has a lenght article about the Blackwater Reef and also mentions that Percy was paid £30,000 for the property.
On 25 March 1907 the Blackwater Mines Ltd is registered in New Zealand. On 15 August 1907 he is reported in the Westcoast Times as being part of a deputation to the Minister of Customs seeking the removal of duties on mining machinery.
In the 1908 Wise’s Postal Directory Percy is now living in Brougham Street, Nelson.
He is reported as being elected as a directory to the NZ Portland Cement Company – Evening Post 28 January 1908.

On 17 July 1909 the Taranaki Herald notes that Mr Kinsgwell is a newly elected director of the Taranaki Petroleum Company. This must have been a short term directorship, as on 28 October 1909, again in the Taranaki Herald, Mr P N Kingswell is noted as being a retiring director.
By 1909 the Kingswell family was established in Auckland. On 2 October 1909 Percy, who was at the time the President of the Auckland Golf Club, purchased the ‘Golf House’ from the Auckland Golf Club when it was decided to relocate the Club’s course from the south slopes of the One Tree Domain to Middlemore. On purchasing the house he “added bay windows on both floors and the curious octagonal turret tower.” He was reported in the Otago Witness 27 October 1909, as one of the new vice-presidents of the Maungakiekie Golf Club (being the name of the club taking over the One Tree Hill links).
“It might be taking the literal meaning of landmark to a fine point when describing the property for sale at 9 Fern Ave, Epsom. The spacious 611 sq m (6600 sq ft) English-style mansion is tucked away in a park like domain well away from public gaze. From a distance, however, it is easy to pick up the imposing turret that rises high above the triple-gabled roof line. From it can be enjoyed extensive views across the city to the west.
“Now known as Sherwood Court, the Epsom property at the base of One Tree Hill was originally built as rooms for the Auckland Golf Club. Several years later four upstairs bedrooms were added, turning it into a sizeable residential unit.
“The solidly built kauri house has an air of permanence. Exterior highlights include a wide return veranda with pillars of solid rock. There are several prominent bay windows and one, in the formal lounge, maintains the circular shape upward through the second level and the turret above.
“Most notable for their style are the large entertainment lounge, the pool room, the library/study, the formal dining room and a huge atrium-style reception area beyond the main foyer.
“Upstairs are five bedrooms, two bathrooms and two decks.
In the Evening Post on 1 February 1910 he is reported as being the Managing Director of the New Zeland Portland Cement Company.
STARTLING COLLISION, MOTOR-CAR AND TRAMCARS. AUCKLAND, 22nd July. A startling collision between a motorcar and two tramcars occurred this evening, by which Mr. Ferguson, a visitor from Greymouth, had one hand severely crushed. The car was driven by the owner (Mr. Percy Kingswell). who passed in front of the tram towards the right. The driver failed to notice the tramcar coming in the opposite direction, and the automobile struck it. The impact threw the motor back in front of the other car again, and it was knocked off to the side of the road. Mr. Ferguson was thrown out, the other occupant being badly shaken. Mr. Ferguson- had his thumb amputated, and may lose the hand. The motor-car was badly damaged.
Death of P. N. Kingswell.
A well known city company promoter, Percy Nicholl Kingswell, aged 57, committed suicide by gas poisoning at his residence in Golf Road, Epsom, early yesterday morning. According to evidence at the inquest later in the day the deceased was involved in financial trouble.
The evidence showed deceased retired at 8.30 on Monday evening. A letter addressed to his wife, was found outside his room next morning. Dr. E. D. Aubin was called, and found the deceased lying dead in his bed, life having been extinct for about four hours.
A verdict of suicide by gas poisoning was returned by the coroner, Mr F. K Hunt, S.M.
Emily Kingswell sold the ‘Golf House’ in April 1929 and died before December 1948 (her Will was proved 9 Dec 1948 in Hawera, New Plymouth).

Hibiscus is an ornamental shrub that grows to heights of 8 feet and spreads to a width of 4 feet. This showy shrub produces an abundance of 4-inch blooms in shades of pink, red, yellow, violet and blue. Its extended blooming time lasts from July to September, adding a splash of color to any landscape.
Hibiscus is affected by a host of chewing or sucking insects that damage or destroy stems and leaves and may eventually kill the entire plant.
Phytoflora, a soilborne pathogen, causes root rot and crown rot in herbaceous and woody plants and shrubs, causing them to wilt and die when warm weather approaches. Leaves may turn yellow or reddish-purple. The crown may show signs of darkening and may ooze dark sap.
Root rot is caused by the Fusarium oxysporum and Verticillium fungi that breed in the soil and interfere with the plant's ability to uptake water and nutrients. Although roots do not rot until advanced stages, leaves on the hibiscus wilt even though there is adequate water supply. Eventually, root rot kills the plant if not treated promptly.
Left spot canker may kill selected branches or may spread to the entire plant. Small reddish-orange fruit may appear along the bark of the stalk and leaves. Individual leaves may exhibit brown spots that eventually kill the leaves.
Collar rot turns the area where the roots join the stem brown and slimy and is often the result of cool damp winters when the plant does not have adequate drainage to prevent the surrounding soil from becoming soggy.
Hibiscus disease may be transmitted from other plants, but is most often a result of improper plant care. A lack of attention to keeping the area free of moldy leaves and other plant debris, overwatering, and overcrowding contribute to the spread of disease and create the perfect environment for insect pests.
Left untreated, infectious diseases and insect pests not only detract from the attractiveness of your hibiscus plant, but may kill the plant entirely.
Prevention of diseases in hibiscus depends on proper plant care. Cleaning any dead or dying plant debris away from the area, providing adequate aeration by trimming overgrown plants and allowing adequate room for growth and avoiding overwatering maintains healthy plants, which reduces susceptibility to disease or insect infestations.
Collar rot responds to painting the infected area with Bordeaux paste and treating the soil with a strong garlic or chamomile tea. Root rot can be treated with a solution of 1 pt. of household bleach to 2 qt. of water. Saturate the soil with the solution to kill fungi. Application of fungicide to the soil at the time of planting reduces the risks of crown rot and root rot, but proper plant maintenance is the key to preventing disease.

We've waited a long time to get our hands on the Striker, and it's fair to say that the ROG branding is in full effect here. It would be easy for ASUS to trim a little here and there because of the £230 price tag, but the box is indistinguishable from the more expensive ROG offerings. A good start.
The card itself looks fantastic, we're sure you'll agree. It utilises the same cooler design as the top-end ROG cards, and we all know that usually you're forced to accept a cheaper looking card when you pay less money. With the inclusion of a back-plate and their latest shroud design, the Striker could pass for a vastly more expensive model.
In case you're disbelieving of our claims about how impressive the GTX760 Striker is to look at, let's compare it with the eye-wateringly expensive ASUS Matrix. The main difference is largely the black heatpipe on the Matrix which is just a regular colour on the Striker. Sure the name on the backplate is somewhat of a giveaway but when they are installed in your system it's very hard to tell the difference.
You can have two cards that look like well over a grands worth of graphics card for well under the price of a single 780Ti. If that doesn't make you grin then you might need to check your pulse.

ebm-papst Mulfingen recently launched its new compact centrifugal modules in AC, DC and GreenTech EC technology. These comprise tried and tested radial motor impellers with backward curved blades, which have been supplemented by a support structure with an inlet nozzle. This has created a complete "Plug-and-Play" unit. These modules are not only suitable for use in refrigeration counters, in home ventilation systems or for cooling switch cabinets, they also open up many other fields of industrial application.
The fan is supplied as a module with all the necessary connection elements, so the customer benefits in particular from straightforward, simple assembly. There is no need for the user to spend unnecessary time building an assembly construction. The centring of the inlet nozzle to the impeller is pre-set, guaranteeing aerodynamically and acoustically flawless operation. The operating capacitor and plug connector on the connecting line are pre-assembled on AC fans, practically eliminating the possibility of incorrect wiring. The new compact centrifugal modules are replacing the previous used compact axial fans in a ratio of 1:1.
The AC, DC and GreenTech EC compact modules are available in different sizes, either mains-powered or as 24 VDC or 48 VDC versions with 175 mm, 190 mm and 220 mm and 225 mm diameter. On request, an inlet side guard grille is available.

 A School to Call Home: What do I teach?
Candidates should hold a B.A. or B.S. (field flexible), be self-directed, and have the flexibility to work with many different kinds of people. Interest in and experience with methods of multi-modal or differentiated instruction are important, as are familiarity with and interest in a cross-platform environment (Macintosh and PC). Finally, candidates should be realistic and excited about the challenges and rewards of teaching and living in a boarding school.
Interestingly, while in the past I'd seen myself capable of many roles, usually within teaching I only seriously considered English and history positions. I could see myself in nearly any administrative position at the dean or associate dean level, but teaching only held two disciplines.
I think I was wrong: that's a position I could definitively see not only doing, but excelling.
I saw recently that you may have experienced a late departure and are now looking for a "field-flexible" technology teacher. I am most interested in this position at Saint Swithins.
As you know from reading my blog and perusing of my wiki, I may not have previously considered myself a technology teacher, but rather a teacher who uses and understands technology. I'd like a swing at the role to teach technology so that my use of technology could be seen (and copied) by colleagues.
As you know, technology is merely a tool to help with some bit of learning. I picture students using technology to further other disciplines. I see students creating a wiki about the biology of the campus; I see students keeping semi-official blogs about life as a student; I see outreach offices, such as alumni and development, using Web 2.0 tools to get the message about Saint Swithins to the widest constituency as possible.
In terms of formal educational preparation for this position, I have none. In terms of informal study and hands-on use of the technology tools, I have plenty. I'm not "bleeding edge," but I'm definitely "cutting edge" when it comes to trying and using new technology, particularly Web 2.0 tools. I have a more than passing familiarity with a variety of computer operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, Linux, and VMS.
Please do consider me for the role, Ken. I think you'll more than agree I'm a good fit for the job, and you know my desire to be on a resident faculty is tremendously strong. As you know, you can find my candidacy package online.
Reading over it, I come off too forcefully. Sorry, Kenneth.
And that, right there, is part of what is so interesting about blogging in the open. It's all out there.
So, dear readers, I have a question for you to consider, if you'd be so kind. Well, actually, I have two questions.
1. Do you think, after looking over this blog and my credentials package, I'd be able to compete well for the appointment, do the job, and also excel in the role?
2. Do you think my letter was too strong & over-the-top?
Please do let me know what you think; post in the Comments section below.
I think it's OK to be forceful in presenting yourself as a candidate--as long as you're cogent too. But there's something about your last paragraph that bothers me: It almost sounds as if you are begging for a chance. I think most administrators would be turned off by that "tone of voice." I'm sure if you tinker with it, you can come up with something that sounds less "beggarly"--and more cogent!
Why is it that you only want to teach at an independent boarding school?

As Pakistan seeks renewable solutions to its power crisis, the Power and energy sector has come up with an innovative, convenient and effective way to add a few thousand megawatts of power to the national grid.
With the state failing to fulfill the country’s energy needs, consumers in Pakistan –on private and commercial levels- have started generating their own renewable solar power. The government wants to take this trend a step further by encouraging consumers to generate electricity and sell off the excess to the government through ‘Net Metering’. The legal framework for this mechanism has already been designed by the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) Pakistan.
Net metering is a billing mechanism that enables individuals producing their own solar energy to provide the excess energy to the national grid and get credited back for its retail price. If a consumer that has his own solar energy generation system generates more energy than he consumers, the excess energy will be credited and the user will get paid for it. While this mechanism is a bit complicated, there are specialized electricity meters for this.
AEDB recently approved the certification regulation for Net metering to facilitate consumers interested in contributing to the national grid.
Endorsing this concept, the chairman of AEDB said that not only will this development push the country towards renewable solutions to the energy crises in the country, but would also provide consumers with monetary incentive to produce their own energy. He anticipated that this move could add 5000 to 7000 MW of energy to the national grid.
He further added, “We are bringing the profitable business of electricity generation to people’s doorstep”.
The Government aims to use this solar energy to power 10,000 tube wells in the first phase of the project. This revolutionary step will definitely leave its positive impact of the county in a very short period of time.

The Port Society of Puerto de Mamonal is one of the major maritime terminals located in the Port of Cartagena, and has recently specialized in the handling of coal exports. The Inter-American Corporation for Infrastructure Financing (CIFI), together with Dutch Development bank (FMO), received a mandate to arrange a loan to finance the new Pet Coke Handling Terminal. Both parties expressed interest in undertaking a due diligence analysis of the project. Specifically, this analysis assessed engineering and operational characteristics of the project as well as the company’s financial ability to repay all project debt.
Nathan was retained as the Independent Engineer to undertake the due diligence analysis of the project to assess engineering, operational and financial characteristics of the project. Our experts reviewed Pet Coke’s design, operations, and costs, and ensured the new designs did not conflict with the operations in terms of space requirements, terminal layout, capacities of equipment, environmental controls, abatement measures, and shipping operations.
Furthermore, Nathan conducted a brief review of the coal and coke market to identify the overall risk of the terminal, and to review the financial model prepared by Puerto de Mamonal. This review validated their assumptions and ensured that the terminal would have the necessary funds to operate properly, including an analysis of prospective life-of-project gross revenue inflows, cargo forecasts, tariffs, revenue flows by terminal, operating costs, capital costs, facilities, and other capital items. Nathan reviewed and made recommendations on the proposed financing program, and projected the structure of annual financing flows.

I never know what adventures I will have on any given day. For weeks now I have been playing Dots Deluxe on my iPhone. There is a free version of Dots Deluxe, and a ninety-nine cents pay one time version of Dots Deluxe. I went for the one time pay option personally. There are two themes in Dots Deluxe. The space theme, and the Christmas theme. I love it when a company is strong enough to use the historically accurate words.
I played a game like Dots Deluxe when I was a kid. You may have as well. Let me know if this sounds familiar. Draw a grid of dots in a large square shape. Each player takes a turn drawing a straight line from dot to dot. No diagonal lines since we are trying to create boxes. The end goal of Dots Deluxe is to get the most boxes. Ensenasoft is very wise in bringing this game to the iPhone and iPad.
Ensenasoft has a history of good music in their games. Dots Deluxe is no different. The music in Dots Deluxe is one of the things that brings me back for a game against the computer, or another person. Dots Deluxe lets families have one player versus a computer opponent, or two family members can share the device and hand it off to play against one another.
I do have two things I wish were different in Dots Deluxe. At times it can be hard to figure out what move the previous player made. I wish there was a highlight on the last move that was made. This is especially apparent when there are two family members trading the device back and forth. It would be more fair in my opinion if the last line placed was accentuated in a meaningful manner.
The second thing in Dots Deluxe is tapping those dots. At times the game did not register my taps. I would have to tap a couple of times for Dots Deluxe to register I wanted to go from here to here. A little swipe would have been nice. All in all Dots Deluxe is a fun little game for families. I hope to see more games like Dots Deluxe from Ensenasoft in the future.

Brenda Stolyar Fitbit Inspire HR The easy-to-use Fitbit Inspire HR fitness tracker packs all the basic features you need to monitor your health and exercise for an affordable price.
Lightweight, stylish design. Accurate fitness tracking. Smartphone notifications. Lots of functionality for the price.
The easy-to-use Fitbit Inspire HR fitness tracker packs all the basic features you need to monitor your health and exercise for an affordable price.
Replacing Fitbit's Alta and Alta HR, the Inspire ($69.95) and Inspire HR ($99.95) track step count, distance, and basic sleep metrics. If you want more detailed insight on your health and fitness, it's worth the extra $30 for the Inspire HR, which we're reviewing here. In addition to continuous heart rate monitoring, the Inspire HR tracks sleep stages (REM, deep, and light sleep) and measures your cardio fitness levels. And like Fitbit's Versa Lite ($159.95), it's very simple to use. For under $100, it provides accurate fitness tracking, smartphone notifications, and up to five days of battery life in a stylish, swim-proof design, making it our Editors' Choice for entry-level fitness trackers.
The Inspire HR is small and unobstrusive. You can pair it with jewelry without feeling like your wrist is overcrowded. It's available in black with a black silicone wristband, lilac (which looks more like a dark purple) with a lilac silicone wristband, or black with a white silicone wristband. As you can see, I tested the lilac model, but swapped the silicone band out for a stainless steel mesh strap ($69.95). The Inspire HR features 5 ATM of water resistance, so you can also wear it in the pool and in the shower without damaging it. Unlike the standard Inspire, you can't attach the Inspire HR to Fitbit's clip accessory ($19.95) to wear on your bag or clothes.
The plastic case that houses the tracker is shaped similarly to the Charge 3, with a concave back, but the heart rate sensor makes it a little thick toward the bottom. Despite this, the Inspire HR is super lightweight and comfortable to wear all day, including to the gym and in bed. On the right side of the case is a button that turns the display on and off and takes you back to the previous screen. A long press brings you to battery percentage and shortcuts to turn screen wake and notifications on or off.
With 128-by-72-pixel resolution, the Inspire HR's monochrome OLED display is sharp enough and bright. But measuring 0.72 inches diagonally, it could be bigger for the size of the case. Instead, the display is surrounded by a pretty thick bezel on all sides. That means you're only able to view one tile of information at a time, and will have to scroll a few times to read through long text messages.
Thankfully, Fitbit has phased out the tap screen (as seen on the Alta and the Charge 2). The display on the Inspire HR is completely sensitive to touch, so you can swipe up to see your metrics and down for access to different apps. Swiping across the display feels responsive and swift, even when sweaty at the gym.
Under the hood is an accelerometer, a heart rate monitor, and a vibration motor. Using the on-device dashboard, you can check metrics like steps, distance, heart rate, female health, hydration, and more. Compatible with both Android and iOS, you can also view calls, text messages, calendar alerts, and app notifications from your phone. But unlike the Charge 3, Ionic, or Versa, Android users can't send quick replies from the tracker itself.
One of my favorite features included in the Inspire HR is goal-based exercise, which was originally introduced in the Charge 3. You can set goals for metrics like calories, time, or distance so that the tracker alerts you whenever you hit that goal. So rather than having to constantly check my wrist during a run, I set the tracker to alert me when I've reached one or two miles. It also comes equipped with auto recognition for workouts like running, biking, and swimming, in case you forget to start tracking manually.
The Inspire HR also provides you with an estimate of your VO2 Max, which is known as your cardio fitness score. The score is calculated based on your resting heart rate and user profile, so you can see how you compare with others of your same age, gender, and weight. You're able to get a more exact score by tracking information like pace and heart rate during your runs using your connected phone's GPS.
As for sleep tracking, the Inspire HR itself only shows you the amount of time you slept. On the Fitbit app, you can see the complete breakdown of your sleep stages, including how long you were awake and how long you were either in REM, light, or deep sleep throughout the night.
Fitbit says the the Inspire HR can last up to five days. In testing I was able to get four days before nearly running the battery out. That's after working out twice on each of those days and tracking sleep every night. To maximize battery life, I only turned on notifications for texts and calls. I also turned off screen wake and notifications when I went to bed. When I tested the tracker with smartphone app notifications (like Gmail and Instagram) turned on, in addition to texts and calls, I got closer to three days of battery.
During a one-mile walk, the Inspire HR logged 2,479 steps, while a 3DTriMax pedometer logged 2,537, for a difference of only 58 steps. Results for a one-mile run were just as close. The Inspire logged 1,729 steps to the pedometer's 1,768, for a difference of just 39.
For distance tracking, I used a Stryd foot pod to compare results. When the Inspire HR hit one mile during my walk on the treadmill, the Stryd logged 1.14 miles, for a difference of 0.14 miles. When I reached one mile on the Inspire during my run, the Stryd logged .67 miles, for a difference of .33 miles. But the Inspire fared better on an outdoor run with the help of my phone's GPS. On that run, it logged 1.12 miles to the Stryd's 1.04 miles, for a difference of just .08.
I tested heart rate using a Polar H10 chest strap and found that it was accurate. During a one-mile walk, both the Inspire HR and chest strap logged an average of 116 bpm. After a one-mile run, the Inspire HR logged 135 bpm while the Polar chest strap logged 137 bpm. The Inspire HR wasn't as spot-on for more intense runs, like sprints. The average heart rate was off by about 12 beats per minute compared with the chest strap after a five-minute sprint, but that's not surprising for a basic tracker.
During your workouts, the Inspire HR also identifies heart rate zones depending on your beats per minute. On its display, you can see whether you're in fat burn, cardio, or peak zone, which then allows you to adjust your workout accordingly.
The Fitbit Inspire HR provides you with all the basic fitness features you need in a sleek form factor that's easy to use and can be worn on a daily basis. For $99.95, it tracks workouts accurately and offers many of the same functions as more expensive trackers, including Fitbit's own. Compared with the standard Inspire, the Inspire HR paints a more complete picture of your overall health. The addition of the heart rate monitor helps to uncover valuable information like your fitness levels and sleep quality, which can be more beneficial in helping to improve your health in the long run.
If you're looking for a fitness tracker that can keep up with more intense activity, Fitbit's $149.99 Charge 3 tracks workouts a bit more accurately than the Inspire HR and has seven-day battery life. For more insight on the physical state of your body, we like the $129.99 Garmin Vivosmart 4, which includes body recovery and stress monitoring features. But if you don't need the additional sensors or data, the Inspire HR is hard to beat for a simple, everyday fitness tracker. It's an excellent device for beginners, as well our Editors' Choice.

The purpose of this article is to introduce the concepts of BWoH data reduction and optimization. Readers who want to get a better understanding of SAP BWoH data reduction and optimization in particular, and what it can do for its customers will be benefited from this article. It gives insight into the BWoH data reduction and optimization process which can be used for reducing the HANA In Memory foot print for the better performance and effective utilization.
Following activities can be performed in order to achieve above objective.
Data Flow Optimization: Identifying redundant data flows and redesigning them by removing redundant objects (DSO/Cubes).
Housekeeping: Periodic maintenance and cleanup of the system log/error tables which can grow larger over a period of time.
Find the list of all DSOs and Cubes using metadata tables RSDCUBE and RSDODSO.
For a quick analysis, you can also get the large DSO/Cubes from Early watch alert or transaction ST14.
Find the where use list.
Find the lookups (We had a lookup finder utility built in the system for this purpose).
Check if it is a redundant object i.e. multiple layer of data flows down and upwards without any specific logic in between.
Check if there is any report and if the report is in use. (Use table RSZCOMPDIR-LastUsedDate).
Check if it is used in any APD. (Use table RSANT_PROCESSI- OBJNM for this purpose).
Find the corresponding DSOs/Data sources name using RSTSODS table.
Its deletion is not yet scheduled: Include them in PSA/change log deletion process chain and automate it.
Data mart status is pending: May be we have stopped loading one of the delta data target so its data mart is pending and because of this the PSA/change log is not getting deleted. Fetch the delta for those target using dummy selections and update the data mart regularly so that PSA/change log is getting cleaned up regularly.
Find out the DSOs for which we have only full data target or no upward data target – Include them in process chain with only 3rd option selected (Delete activation requests).
The standard SAP delivered maintenance activities do not clean all the data in PSA/ Changelog tables, it need additional analysis to clean up these tables efficiently. Above steps define the procedure to clean up the PSA/ Changelog tables more effectively. Also the scrips helps in analysis.

Samwell Tarly starts the episode his same old pining, cowering self.
The officers warned my cowering Oma (grandma) what might await the cousin if she ever did return.
The man who appears resolute and forceful in public is, behind closed doors, cowering in fear.
In the incident, 12-year-old Muhammad Al-Dura was reportedly shot and killed by Israeli forces while cowering behind his father.
Split up into ones and twos, they are easy targets for the shooters, who find it easy to pick off cowering people one by one.
Hervey, cowering in the chair, thus met with an antagonist against whom he had no armor.
He was standing over her now, and she was cowering before him, her shaking hands rising as though to ward off his eyes.
Filling his cupped hands with water, he sent up shower after shower of mimic rain between them and the miserable, cowering beast.
They bend their necks, cowering before the fierce glow, but daring it, and prepared to face it at even closer range.
Crash after crash sent them cowering under the covers of their beds.

As I mentioned at the start of this article, getting a feel for each camera is a significant step in choosing the camera that suits you best as an Instagram photographer. Elegant, stylish and remarkable camera body with very super simple physical controls. Panasonic Lumix DMC-G85 has retro styling and extraordinary build quality. A camera with CMOS 16 megapixels sensor and Fully Articulated LCD screen or more will suit Instagram or fashion bloggers just fine. The camera is not the lightest in its class since it weighs 505g. But it's a professional camera. Panasonic includes comprehensive connectivity options, with onboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other communication features. The evolving, tech-savvy and versatile camera saw the daylight on 2016-09-19. Since then, it has become an accessible and state-of-the-art camera among cities photographers.
The innovative Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III uses a modified high-resolution 16 megapixels sensor, with double-quick burst mode, ultra sharpness and ultimate features. Almost every available surface of the body is covered with buttons, dials and switches. The large handgrip is coated with thick, textured rubber and provides a very secure hold. The camera is definitely not the lightest in its class, since it weighs 410g. But it's a professional camera. All SLR-style mirrorless cameras come with at least one SD memory card slot, although an increasing number of high-end models sport two. 8.6 fps burst rate are good enough for most applications, and it performs well in low light situations.
The new display is a bit dimmer than its predecessor's, so it can be tricky to use in sunlight, even at maximum brightness. The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III is equipped with a 100% viewfinder with a magnification of around Electronic and coverage. It’s just another good reason to opt for a larger sensor, interchangeable lens camera if you still have an older compact. The camera uses a 16 megapixels CMOS sensor, which takes incredibly sharp, lifelike, and stunning photos - even in low light settings. In addition, the fact that there’s no mechanical mirror means mirrorless cameras are generally capable of much higher continuous shooting speeds. Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III has a Micro Four Thirds lens mount and currently there are 92 native lenses available for this mount. Camera is embedded with very short flange focal distance, choices of adapting glasses from other mounts are almost unlimited and this can save your money. For this price, you’d expect Olympus to deliver a solid-feeling, powerful, ergonomically sound and versatile camera, and with the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III that’s precisely what you get.
It makes the camera a joy to hold, has excellent image quality and won’t break the bank. With a DSLR camera, the hole your eye peers through when taking a photo (aka the viewfinder), is basically just like a window – you see the world as it is in front of you with a mirrorless camera however, you’re looking at a tiny LCD screen, which is showing you a ‘digital projection’ of the world. This is a purely subjective statement, but having a fun camera for a beginner is a great thing since you’ll want to pick it up to shoot with more and more. While subjective, I think the modern camera body design is forward-looking, modern and innovative. It approves upon its predecessor with a new, and hugely-impressive EVF which is one of the best in its class. All the information you can see on display with an intuitive user interface.
You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers. Photographers who shoot sports, wildlife or energized toddlers will especially appreciate faster shooting rates, and this camera can shoot at 14.0 fps. The modern camera was presented on 2017-01-18. But it's still state-of-the-art, refined and up-to-date. With the Fujifilm X-T20, Fujifilm has completely revised the internals, adding the stacked-CMOS X-TRANS III 24 megapixels sensor and Tilting. By ISO 51200 files are barely usable, and just like the previous model, higher settings should be avoided. In my experience, the battery life, even with High-Performance mode enabled, seemed better than the rated battery life, but an extra battery is still a good idea. Autofocus performance is as good as you could hope for: it’s silent and goes about its business accurately. Few things ruin a shot more than missed focus, and fast autofocus helps minimize the chance of that happening. Still, the Fujifilm X-T20 is a Fujifilm camera, and if you've been waiting for superior to beef up supply numbers before taking the plunge, there's no reason to hold back now.
After spending a month shooting with it last year, I felt compelled to write a full review on the ultimate, superb Canon EOS 80D – it impressed me that much!. Photography Blog calls it a great Mid-size SLR that's well-suited to a lot of different photographers and experience levels. The is an excellent choice if you want to shoot vivid traveling, Instagram and impressive fashion photos. The simple controls are well laid-out, with the buttons being of a nice size and easy to locate by touch when you’re holding the camera. Furthermore, if you want to get marvelous, beautiful and superb wedding photos, then this camera is an excellent choice. For demanding professionals, the upgraded Canon EOS 80D responds very fast and precisely have best focus and extraordinary picture quality.

Commercial, traveling or wildlife, the Canon PowerShot G7 X from Canon is the impressive 20 megapixels 1"-format camera for refined consumer. 6.5 fps burst rate are good enough for most applications, and it performs well in low light situations. As with all other Canon cameras, the display only tilts and doesn't flip around - unlike on the GH5s and certain Canon DSLRs. The Canon PowerShot G7 X is equipped with an n/a viewfinder with a magnification of around None and coverage. It’s just another good reason to opt for a larger sensor, interchangeable lens camera if you still have an older compact.
At higher ISOs, not necessarily the expanded ones, the Canon PowerShot G7 X does a very good job for a camera with an 1" sensor. The price, of course, is high. And on its present day, the camera cost 5.95, but for all those features that are in the camera, its price is very affordable. The AF system also supports 3D focus tracking thanks to the camera’s scene recognition facility. Playback allows for clean HDMI output, which is nice for showing off your images. The quality of the 20 megapixels images captured by the 1" Large Sensor Compact is fascinating, razor-sharp and eye-popping. When it comes to picking your first DSLR it’s important to remember that you aren’t buying just a camera — you are investing in an entire line of bodies, lenses, and accessories.
