What causes endometriosis?
The cause of endometriosis is unknown. One theory is that the endometrial tissue is deposited in unusual locations by the retrograde flow of menstrual debris through the Fallopian tubes into the pelvic and abdominal cavities. The cause of this retrograde menstruation is not clearly understood. It is clear that retrograde menstruation is not the only cause of endometriosis, as many women who have retrograde menstruation do not develop the condition.
Another possibility is that areas lining the pelvic organs possess primitive cells that are able to develop into other forms of tissue, such as endometrium. (This process is termed coelomic metaplasia.)
It is also likely the direct transfer of endometrial tissues at the time of surgery may be responsible for the endometriosis implants occasionally found in surgical scars (for example, episiotomy or Cesarean section scars). Transfer of endometrial cells via the bloodstream or lymphatic system is the most plausible explanation for the rare cases of endometriosis that are found in the brain and other organs remote from the pelvis.
Finally, there is evidence that some women with endometriosis have an altered immune response in women with endometriosis, which may affect the body's natural ability to recognize ectopic endometrial tissue.

VIRAL PHOTO: Graduate Breastfeeds During Graduation Ceremony
Breast feeding graduation pic.twitter.com/EpUblJtDyy
— Greg Hill (@GregHillWAAF) June 10, 2014
Karlesha Thurman has been getting a lot of attention after having her breast exposed at her graduation from California State University, Long Beach. But it's not because she was drunk or an exhibitionist or anything like that.
Karlesha simply took the time to breastfeed her 4-month-old baby during the ceremony and her friend happened to snap a picture of it.
But the controversy came when she posted the pic on the Facebook page "Black Women Do BreastFeed" and the FB group decided to post it separately.
Thurman says that most of the feedback she's received has been positive, even though there are a few comments sprinkled online like, "I do not care how natural breast feeding is, a college graduation is not the place … decorum, people," and "I never said not to be proud, but breast pumps exist for a reason! Middle of graduation is not the time to whip breast out."

Just a one night stay on a quick trip to Tampa, but Hampton is our chain of first choice and this one did not disappoint. It appears to be one of their smaller properties, but with a number of Hampton's in the city, location may be the key. It was for us. The room was clean, a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed and even with a "smallish" breakfast area, the food was better than average.
Proximity to the airport (due north of runway 19 right) meant just a bit of jet noise, but certainly nothing untoward. A very comfortable night's stay at a very reasonable price. Would definitely book again.

Our vacation this year at the Ocean Reef had quite a bumpy start. First of all, when we completed our pre-check in (we were early), nothing was said about a problem with the condo. When we picked up our keys later in the day, we were told we could only be in the unit for one night "since the owner was returning." We were not at all happy about having to move all of us since basically we couldn't even unpack. With us was our grandson who has a medical condition and must keep on a very strict schedule regarding dietary and medical needs. We were told that we would be moved by the staff the next morning between 11:30 and 1:30. Well, of course 1:30 rolled around and we had not heard anything. We had been told just to leave everything packed and that the staff would move our stuff and we would only have to pick up the keys. We were uncomfortable leaving our things unattended, even in the room. Long story short, we were told two different units to move to and lots of confusion ensued. We basically had a full day of our vacation spent sitting around. The desk personnel didn't seem concerned and we were not getting any straight answers.
However, Crystal (one of the managers) appeared on the scene and made everything right. She did an outstanding job of assisting us and was very apologetic regarding our being inconvenienced. She went above and beyond and completely out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. She even provided compensation for our troubles. I can't say enough to anyone that if you are having problems at this property, contact Crystal. She did an outstanding job!
The rest of the vacation went smoothly. We have been staying at Ocean Reef pretty consistently for about twelve years. We like the property and the location. Even though it was so crowded due to the time of year, everything was very nice.

The more security books I read, the more I feel like I'm standing in a hall of mirrors, with the villian plainly visible pointing a weapon at me. But where is he? Which reflection is the one I need to pay attention to? That's one of the many interesting points discussed here: false positives distract your attention from real problems, and the "bad guys" know that, so if you ever are under real attack, you can bet that you'll also be seeing all manner of distracting false attacks also.
This covers all the important security tools, mostly from a Linux perspective though Windows isn't entirely ignored. Weaknesses and strengths are examined, but what I really appreciated was the constant focus on reality: this isn't at all a theoretical discussion; it's real-world, get your hands dirty, watch out for this, etc.
Great job, the authors obviously put a lot of thought into it. The only fault I'd find at all is that some of it gets very techy, but that's really unavoidable: you can't begin to understand how some of these exploits work without a deeper understanding of geekish subjects. I think in general they did an excellent job with all of it.
The strongest configuration is to put an IPS inline. So that it sits between the Internet and your computers. It parses the network traffic at any or all of the 5 layers, from data link to application. In its most intensive incarnation, it can analyse application layer data and modify these before passing them on. Plus, of course, it can block suspects attack messages, even in a zero-day mode.
The discussion is fairly technical. A good prior knowledge of UDP and TCP is needed to make sense of much of the text.
The book is also careful to warn of the pitfalls of using an IPS, especially inline. False positives and negatives. It is very hard to correctly find all the attacks. That is, to be able to implement a robust rule set to remove attacks from the traffic.
But you'll have a hard time if you're not technically savvy, if you don't master at least the basics of TCP/IP, network and application security, Linux, and even C and Assembler up to a certain extent. It is not written for managers trying to decide what commercial product to choose and purchase.
Be prepared for some in depth, geek stuff. The build-up and organization is logical and obvious. A good and detailed first four chapters explain why you should go for IPS', what they are, what they will do and what they will not. This `introduction' is followed by 3 chapters (about 170 pp.) detailing, with all technical details, examples, code samples and such, what attacks an inline IPS may thwart, how these attacks work. This part is really in depth, and in some points is a very good complement to the mandatory reading of Hacking Exposed. In particular, I really liked Chapter 6, were the inner workings of a buffer overflow are explained. Then again, be prepared to drill down to the stack pointers, processor registers and all that good stuff. After all, exploiting buffer overflows is not obvious, and so is the understanding of what they are. But the authors manage to explain the actual workings of a buffer overflow, starting from such concepts as process and memory management, the stack pointers - and use a practical example so you can try this at home.
One may want to read it twice, though...
The book concludes with two chapters about Open Source IPS, and Evasion Techniques.
Recommended reading? Yes, definitely for anyone with a good technical basis, wondering what IPS' really are about.
- In depth, no blah blah, no big screenshots, no page filling
- Good layout, easily readable large font
- Full of practical examples, code sample, and how-to's. You'll want a Linux box around to try this stuff out
- All chapters end with a summary (normal), but also a checklist (a kind of bulleted complement of the summary), a `solutions fast track', not about solutions (see cons) but rather another topic by topic review. Then comes the commented list of URLs mentioned in the chapter - good to review things and dig further, and a FAQ, giving practical answers to those questions you're still wondering about.
- Not commercial - the whole discussion is based on Snort, Netfilter, and zillions of readily available hacking tools and Linux add-ons
- Syngress probably hired some marketing guy who felt it was absolutely necessary to include all sorts of buzzwords and frills: chapters are `Solutions'. This book is about explaining and understanding, not about solutions. Little checked marks, the Syngress URL on every page, `Notes from the Underground' boxes. Underground? Yeah, that must sound cool... All rather pointless and distracting. Minus one star for this.
- Nothing about commercial products. Everything is based on Open Source. While that makes it easy to test things out, most readers would still appreciate an additional chapter covering some pros and cons of the major products out there. Even when it comes to compare them to Snort.
All in all, great job, great book, interesting but at times demanding reading. Next recommended reading? Snort 2.1 Intrusion Detection, from Syngress as well.
It would have been relatively easy to write a book that simply covered one facet of the IPS product space, such as network IPS systems. However, the authors have chosen to try and write a comprehensive overview of the tools currently available for both the network and the host, as well as ways in which they can be attacked and the scenarios they work in. While the book focuses on open source tools, including the Snort IPS extensions, the techniques apply to closed source, commercial tools as well.
In general I found Intrusion Prevention to be a decent first book on the subject, although a bit unfocused in its delivery. At times it seems to try and bite off more than it can chew, or go off on a tangent for too long (such as the many pages of nmap options), but in general the book does a fair job of delivering its promise. Through it you'll get a good overview of many of the technologies present in the IPS marketspace and what they offer. If you're up to it, you'll even learn a few ways to test the tools and weed out the snake oil vendors.
The book is heavy on actual system output and configuration examples. I like the explicit packet captures and snort rules, I think they go a long way towards illustrating the premise of an IPS system. As is somewhat common with Syngress press books, the formatting is a bit off at times (sometimes it's too wide or slips over the page boundary at the wrong time), but if you can work past that you're rewarded with a useful example.
For host-based IPS solutions, the book covers a number of approaches that aren't always evident as IPS techniques. Various stack protection mechanisms, including LD_PRELOAD techniques like Libsafe, GCC modifications such as StackGuard, and kernel modifications like LIDS, PaX, RBAC and GrSecurity are all described.
By now you can see that the book is pretty Linux and open source centric. This isn't too bad at all, since the basic functionality is present in most of the commercial tools, as well. These can include inline network data modification and reactions or application integrity checking tools. The open source versions, while they sometimes have fewer features, are excellent representatives of this technology.
The book really comes together in chapter 8, 'Deploying Open Source IPS Solutions.' Several vulnerable systems are set up, deployed in a fictitious network, and protected through a variety of IPS solutions which work together to create a layered security model. If the network can detect the attack, it's dropped or modified to remove the offending bits. If the malicious data gets through to the host, the host-level IPS tools remediate the problem. All in all a nice example chapter.
The discussion on how to evade IPS devices was a bit lacking, unfortunately. It seems squeezed in, and doesn't have the same level of detail as other chapters on similar topics. Detailed descriptions of the layer 3, 4 and application layer obfuscation techniques would have been useful to help explain this complex topic.
Before you begin thinking that the authors are entirely gung-ho on IPS technologies, they spend a long time discussing how they can be fooled and how they are fundamentally prone to false positives. This tempered stance is valuable, and they recommend that you take a limited set of functionality from your IDS system and make it reactive in your IPS.
There are only a couple of books that cover IPS technologies to any significant degree, and this appears to be the only one solely devoted to discussing IPS approaches for both the host and network. To that end, the authors have done a pretty good job of introducing the reader to what an IPS can give them, how to evaluate it, and what to expect in the real world. While the book itself has some production and layout problems, the material is worthwhile and will give the reader much-needed advice.

Biodegradation and Detoxification of Reactive Textile Dye by Isolated Pseudomonas sp. SUK1
Abstract:An isolated bacterium from a textile disposal site, Pseudomonas sp. SUK1, has the ability to decolorize the reactive textile dyes and methyl orange. This bacterium showed the potential to decolorize the textile dye Reactive Blue 59 at a high concentration (5 g/L −1), which is frequently used in the textile industry of Solapur, India. Induction in the activities of lignin peroxidase, azoreductase, and dichlorophenol indophenol reductase was observed during the decolorization of Methyl Orange and Reactive Blue 59. Methyl Orange (as model azo dye) was used to understand the mechanism of biodegradation by Pseudomonas sp. SUK1. The final product was identified as 1,4-benzenediamine, N, N-dimethyl by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Microbial and phytotoxicity studies revealed the nontoxic nature of the products of Reactive Blue 59.

Where No One Stands Alone Lyrics
Artist: Loretta Lynn
Album: Hymns
Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as the sea
And my heart was afraid and I cried oh Lord don't hide your face from me
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day from here to the great unknown
Take my hand let me stand where no one stands alone
[ steel ]
Like a king I may live in a palace so tall with great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world that's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way...

Matching Healthcare Solutions with Delivery Experience...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Inventors Need to Grapple with Developing...
ORCA Therapeutics, a developer of virotherapies for cancer, received an innovation credit of up to €5 million from Agentschap, an agency executing programs for the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture, and Innovation. The funding will support development of lead compound ORCA-010 as a treatment for prostate cancer.
Under terms of the agreement, ORCA receives €1,058,000 to support the initial stage of the project, with the outlook for additional funding of up to €5 million with the successful completion of specific milestones. The credit will become repayable subject to the commercial success of the project.
ORCA Therapeutics' technology leverages oncolytic replication competent agents (ORCA) derived from naturally occurring viruses. Owing to their ability to self-replicate within the cancer cell, oncolytic viruses have pharmacokinetic properties that set them apart from conventional small molecule or mAb-based therapeutics. Oncolytic viruses are programmed to specifically target, replicate in, and ultimately kill tumor cells, while healthy cells are left unharmed thereby minimizing side effects. ORCA's approach is to magnify the cell-killing potential of the underlying oncolytic virus while maintaining strong safety.
ORCA-010 is an oncolytic adenovirus based on the company's T1 technology. The T1 technology refers to a specific mutation in the E3 gp19K gene resulting in enhanced potency in human tumors and cancer-associated fibroblasts in vitro as well as enhanced antitumoral activity when injected intratumorally or systemically in different models in vivo. The oncolytic potency of ORCA-010 is up to ten thousand fold higher than that of other state of the art oncolytic adenoviruses, according to ORCA Therapeutics.
"This credit will allow us to take the next steps in preclinical and clinical development of our ORCA-010 product for treatment of prostate cancer patients," said Janneke Meulenberg, CEO of ORCA Therapeutics.

Kings and Lords in Conquest England - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series No.15 (Paperback)Robin Fleming, Rosamond McKitterick, Christine Carpenter, Jonathan Shepard
Paperback Published: 05/02/2004
- Can be ordered from our supplier
This is a study of landholding and alliance in England in the years 950 to 1086, a period in which the fortunes of lay lords and their families rose and fell dramatically. It was also a period of dizzying tenurial change, in which the fluctuations in landed wealth and alliances shed light on the economic and geographic balance between the monarchy and the aristocracy, and on how this balance helped shape Conquest England. A number of key historical issues are investigated: the impact of Cnut's conquest on England, the quality of Edward the Confessor's kingship, the means by which the Norman settlement was carried out, and the effects on England of William's conquest. The book will become the standard work on the often volatile relationship between the king and the great lords in this key transitional period, and is one of the most stimulating and original contributions to Conquest studies.

One of China's richest men, Huang Guangyu, who is the founder of the country's largest electronic retailer, is being held under the charges of insider trading, illegal business dealings and bribery, on Friday.
In 2008, Forbes had ranked Huang as the second-richest person in China, with a net worth of $2.7 billion.
As a part of the crackdown on corruption, the Chinese authorities had detained him in November 2008.
Huang started his business by selling home electronics in the factories in Beijing's Guangdong province.
Since his arrest, his company, Gome, has been under the control of its Chief Executive, Chen Xiao. The retailer has over 1,200 stores across China.
The case highlights the networks of official protection that sustain many private businesses in China. Entrepreneurs still face political discrimination in a state-led economy, even though they have been formally welcomed into the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party.
Mr. Huang's case has been handed over to the Beijing's Municipal Intermediate People's Court.

Imaging Systems Are Combining Specific Labels...
Vectura and Sosei each received a $7.5 million milestone payment from Novartis on the latter's initiation of a Phase III trial with NVA237 in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The international, placebo-controlled trial will include about 1,000 COPD patients. It'll compare the effects of this once-daily, long-acting muscarinic antagonist or tiotropium bromide.
Vectura's share price nudged up 3% on this announcement. The firm along with its co-development partner, Sosei, licensed NVA237 to Novartis in 2005. Novartis plans to launch the drug both as a once-daily COPD monotherapy and (also in combination with its own investigational long-acting beta2 agonist, QAB149 indacaterol.
The NVA237-QAB140 combination is known as QVA149. Novartis expects to file for approval of both NVA237 monotherapy and the QVA149 combination therapy in 2011. Regulatory filings for indacaterol as monotherapy for COPD were submitted to the regulatory authorities in the U.S. and Europe at the end of 2008.
Vectura and Sosei have now each received $15 million from the NVA237 deal with Novartis and is eligible to split up to $375 million in development and commercial milestones for both the monotherapy and combination products.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

This is a weepy, oozy dermatitis that occurs on the lower legs of individuals who have chronic swelling because of poor circulation in veins.
This bumpy scaling eruption which does not weep or ooze and tends to occur on the scalp, elbows, and knees. It produces silvery flakes of skin that scale and fall off. Continue Reading

"Megan Lynch has performed in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than two decades now. LA's punk movement, Channel 52, and Folk Roots magazine all short-circuited her neurons such that she can go from singing a Kurt Weill art song one moment to singing 'Rawhide' in Swedish the next. She uses a full palette of thrums, yelps, croons, yodels, growls and ululations in order to paint the picture called for by the song. She is equally at home singing her original compositions, Tin Pan Alley, rock, pop, country, blues, light opera, and various world musics.
Now she's released her debut album, Songs the Brothers Warner Taught Me, interpreting Jazz Age tunes featured in the classic Warner Brothers cartoons of Bugs Bunny and others. Backed by two members of R. Crumb's legendary Cheap Suit Serenaders, Tony Marcus and Robert Armstrong, Megan wraps her big, rich, sassy, swinging mezzo around these merry melodies, spinning them far beyond the versions we know by Daffy Duck and Michigan J. Frog. It's both a fascinating work of musical scholarship and an absolute blast."
For Google+ folks, my interests include art, music, history, languages, gardening, social and couples dance, cycling, comics, and more.
The founder of The Espresso Bar, like a lot of creative types, is not rolling in money. He needs dentures but can't afford the cost. He's started a crowdfunding campaign and is about halfway to his goal. It's not a huge amount so I think it's TOTALLY doable if people just kick in the cost of what they'd put towards coffee or a beer.
In fact, if you do and show me that you have , I will give you a code so you can download a digital copy of my album for free. Help this guy put some teeth back in his grin. LET'S DO THIS, PEOPLE!
The state of Texas remains #1, narrowly beating out California. The only non-US downloads this year were from Canada and Brazil.
Clearly I need to get my overseas friends more postcard ads for the album!

If you've bought the album elsewhere, you might still want to download from Bandcamp for the extra bonus (non-WB) track. If you have friends you think would enjoy the album who don't own it yet, you might want to let them know.
Bandcamp has a tool to tweet it when you download so if you're on Twitter and can spare the time to hit that button, that would be fool --- I mean COOL!
$4 for a cup of coffee is a one-time thing. $4 for an album is money well spent for music you can enjoy over & over again and make memories to. Discount ends Jan 6, 2014.

This week I have been heavily working on keeping our lens database up to date. With so many lens announcements coming out from different manufacturers, keeping the database current has been a challenge, since it takes quite a bit of time to add all the relevant information. Big thanks to everyone who has been sending feedback, requests and recommendations to improve our lens database. We want to make it the best and the most complete database in the world and everything we build today will be hugely beneficial for current and future readers of the site. This is why we need your help today! By letting us know about the missing lenses, errors and inconsistencies, you will be joining our efforts in compiling a great source of public information. But before that, let me first shed some light on some of the changes that we have made to the database.
Dell XPS 13 Soon To Be Reviewed
Courtesy of Dell, I received the latest version of the Dell XPS 13 Notebook a couple of days ago. Although I have not spent much time with the machine yet to be able to write my initial thoughts, I have already installed the latest versions of both Lightroom and Photoshop. Both ran just fine together, something I have not been able to do very successfully with my Surface Pro 3. The main reason is RAM – my Surface Pro 3 only has 8 GB of RAM, whereas the XPS 13 has 16 GB. In addition, the XPS 13 has the latest generation Skylake CPU (mine came with a powerful Intel Core i7 CPU), which also sports a faster Intel GPU, so I expect it to be faster at doing everything. Lastly, the machine has a whopping 1 TB of fast PCIe storage, which means that I don't have to constantly carry an external hard drive with me, since its local storage is sufficient for most of my needs when traveling. Hence, I expect the XPS 13 to be a much superior machine for post-processing work when working in the field.
The first issue I have noticed so far is the power plug – unfortunately, Dell has not changed it for a while now, so it is still the same old power plug that goes on the side of the machine. I wish Dell engineers came up with a better designed power plug, so that it could attach to the machine simpler, perhaps with a magnetic connection like on the Surface Pro. This way, if one were to unintentionally stomp on the cable, it does not bring the machine down with it. In fact, it would be even sweeter if someone came up with a way to charge laptops from each side! How many times do you catch yourself moving around just to accommodate the direction of the power cable? I know such a design would take more space, but it would be really convenient. Another potential issue is lack of an HDMI output. Looks like Dell wants its XPS 13 users to purchase an optional accessory to be able to output HDMI from the laptop, which is not that big of a deal, as long as the accessory works well. Still, some people might not like the idea of carrying another accessory and cables in their bags.
A definite plus I see is the availability of two USB ports and a Thunderbolt port. Yes, you heard that right – this little puppy has a Thunderbolt port on its side! I have not seen many PCs with it, which is definitely new, but welcome, since the number of Thunderbolt devices on the market is increasing dramatically. With the ability to transfer up to 40 Gbps, Thunderbolt is a pretty sweet option to put on any machine, let alone a compact travel laptop. And by the way, if you have a monitor with a Thunderbolt port, you should be able to output video without the third party accessory. I cannot verify this 100% yet, but hoping to be able to find out by the time I do the review.
I am planning to travel with the XPS 13 extensively in the next 3-4 months, so expect a review fairly soon. As before, I will be providing benchmark data and comparisons with a number of Microsoft Surface Pro alternatives, as requested by our readers.
Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Announcement
One of the most exciting news from today is Sigma's announcement of the 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens designed for APS-C sensor cameras like the Nikon D500. That's another f/1.8 constant aperture zoom lens from Sigma with a groundbreaking design! With an equivalent field of view of 75-150mm, this lens will surely be a popular choice among sports and portrait photographers, especially when working in low-light situations. Thanks to the complex optical design that incorporates 21 elements in 15 groups, the Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art is optimized to yield excellent sharpness at its widest aperture throughout its zoom range. And with its MSRP of $1,099, this looks like a killer offering for cropped sensor cameras. The only downside is its weight – at 1,490 g (3.28 lb), the lens is almost as heavy as the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II! But what did you expect from a constant aperture f/1.8 telephoto zoom lens?
Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Macro Announcement
Along with the SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD, Tamron also released the SP 90mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Macro lens. Unlike the newly designed 85mm f/1.8, this one is an update to the existing 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens that has been manufactured for a number of years now.
Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Announcement
Thanks to the CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show 2016 that is taking place in Japan this week, we have a slew of exciting announcements from different camera manufacturers. Tamron was the first to make a big announcement last night, presenting two brand new lenses designed for full-frame cameras. The first one is a significant release, because it is world's first image stabilized 85mm f/1.8 lens for full-frame DSLRs, the Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD. This is an important release, because Tamron is now upping its game like Sigma has done with its latest-generation lenses, allowing both lens firmware and AF fine tuning to be performed using an external USB dock.
Microsoft Surface Book Review
Having been using the Microsoft Surface Pro for several years now, I was psyched to see the launch of the Surface Book, along with the Surface Pro 4. When I first heard about the Surface Book, I thought "here goes another laptop again"…until I saw the screen detach from the keyboard, revealing that it was a two-in-one hybrid machine. That was certainly unexpected. A laptop and a touchscreen tablet hybrid with a powerful 6th generation dual core Intel CPU, dedicated NVIDIA GPU, up to 1 TB of SSD memory and up to 16 GB of RAM. A true powerhouse in a very compact form factor, ideal for traveling and photo editing on the go. I knew it was something I had to test and review.
ANKR Smart Tracker Review
Every once in a while, I come across gadgets that sound promising, because they serve a specific purpose that I have needs for. When browsing the web last July, I came across a post on a popular site that praised a smart tracker called ANKR. The post started out by talking about stolen gear and how unfortunate the incidents were. Then it went on to introduce ANKR and how amazing of a find it was to be able to "geolocate" (those were the words used) items such as the camera bag in case it got stolen. It all sounded really good, because it seemed to address my particular fear of getting my gear stolen, especially when traveling overseas.
Canon 80D Announcement
Canon has just announced its long-awaited update for the existing EOS 70D, the Canon EOS 80D. With a brand new 24.2 MP APS-C sensor, 45-point AF system, built-in Wi-Fi, updated Dual Pixel AF for live view shooting and improved HD video recording features, the 80D seems like a fairly solid incremental update to the popular camera line. While it is not by any means a significant upgrade, there are some important updates that might be worth moving up to, especially for sports and wildlife photographers. The new 45-point AF system with all cross-type focus points is a huge upgrade from the previous-generation AF system on the 70D (which only had 19 AF points), not only because of the bigger number of focus points, but also because of the much larger spread of those focus points in the viewfinder. Additionally, the center focus point on the 80D is now of dual cross-type and sensitive down to -3 EV, which should allow the camera to focus in very low-light environments. The camera will be available sometime in March for an MSRP of $1,199 for the body-only version.
Pentax K-1 Announcement
Today is a big day for Pentax fans, because the company has finally announced its much anticipated full-frame DSLR, the Pentax K-1. Featuring a 36.4 MP CMOS sensor with a native ISO range of 100-204,800, PRIME IV Image Processor, 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS), 33-point AF system, 3.2″ Cross-Tilt LCD, 4.5 fps continuous shooting, built-in Wi-Fi, built-in GPS, dual SD card slots, a fully weather sealed magnesium alloy body, full HD video recording and a few other extra features like AstroTracer, the K-1 looks like a tool that packs practically every feature a DSLR shooter could think of. And the best part isn't even the list of features – it is the price! At $1,799, the Pentax K-1 is the cheapest professional-grade DSLR ever made; even Nikon's entry-level full-frame DSLR, the Nikon D610, had an MSRP of $1,999 when it was launched. Pentax users have every reason to rejoice, because the K-1 is without a doubt, the most feature-rich and value-driven DSLR we have seen to date…
Announcement: PL Photography Workshop in Jordan
Having been to Jordan several times, I have absolutely fallen in love with this country – not only for its limitless photographic opportunities, but also because of its rich history and culture, its warm and welcoming people and its amazing food. After my last trip to Jordan, I really thought about not only sharing images from my trip, but also about organizing a photography workshop with some of our readers to tour, photograph and explore this stunning country. I am happy to announce that I was able to come up with an amazing workshop package: a 10-day photography-only workshop to showcase some of the most scenic places in Jordan and to teach everything I know about travel and landscape photography. In short, it will be an intensive, yet fun workshop that will leave you with the most amazing memories, experience and pictures. The only issue is timing – the workshop will take place from May 10 to May 20 of this year, so I need to know exactly how many people are going within the next 10 days in order to be able to book everything in advance.
Note: Please note that PL workshops typically sell out within 24 hours, so make sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible!
