Ricoh GRWritten on 20 April 2013 by eK-gadgets
Ricoh GR Hands-on
With the launch of the Nikon Coolpix A we marvelled at how, in the space of a year, the idea of a large sensor compact with a fixed, prime lens, has gone from being an obscure niche (as it was when Sigma launched the original DP1) to a burgeoning and competitive area of the market. Now, with the Ricoh GR, Pentax Ricoh has added to this trend by introducing an APS-C compact with a fixed 28mm equivalent F2.8 lens.
The Nikon is an obvious reference point for this camera, since they share the same field-of-view, the same maximum aperture and, quite plausibly, the same sensor. But it's important to give credit to Ricoh as the only manufacturer to have a continued history of building compact cameras with prime lenses. The GR is not just the immediate successor to a line of enthusiast compacts with bright, fixed-focal-length lenses, it's the continuation of a range that dates back into the film era.
Ricoh GR key specifications
- 16.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor with no low-pass filter
- 18.5mm (28mm equivalent) F2.8 lens
- 3.0″ 1.2m dot LCD
- Up to 4fps continuous shooting
- 1080p movies at 24, 25 or 30fps
- 12-bit Raw in DNG format
- 10MP 35mm equivalent crop mode
- Built-in 2-stop ND filter
However, while much of the Ricoh's core specification looks similar to the Coolpix A, there is at least one significant difference – the price. Whereas Nikon decided it could ask $1,100 for the Coolpix A, Pentax Ricoh has been much more aggressive – asking just $800 for the GR.
Interestingly for a camera with such deep Ricoh roots – the GR is the first camera to show signs of the company's purchase of Pentax. The camera gains the Pentax TAv (Time and Aperture priority) mode, allowing the photographer to specify both shutter speed and aperture, with the camera selecting the appropriate ISO. Having this option as a dedicated mode, rather than letting AutoISO operate in Manual exposure mode as some recent cameras have, has the benefit that it's been properly thought out, so you still have access to exposure compensation. It also avoids the logical inconsistency of having the camera make decisions for you in a supposedly manual mode.
Beyond this, the GR uses an interface that's consistent with previous Ricoh models – and that's something we're delighted to see. We've often referred to the Ricoh interface (as used in the GRD and GXR models) as arguably the best enthusiast-focused interface on a compact camera, so we're delighted to see it retained.
Existing Ricoh users will be pleased to hear that the GR is still capable of interval shooting and has retained the much-loved Snap Focus and Full Press Snap focus modes that push focus to a pre-determined distance to make it easy to get grab shots.
The GR also perpetuates something of a history shared by Ricoh and Pentax – the ability to shoot Raw files conforming to Adobe's DNG open standard.
28mm equivalent GR lens
The Ricoh uses a 28mm equivalent F2.8 lens – an apparent step down from the F1.9 lens offered on the GRD IV but, as a result of the much larger sensor, actually effectively two stops more capable in terms of depth-of-field control and light-gathering capability.
The design features seven elements (two of which are aspheric) in five groups and there's a 9-blade diaphragm nestling inside. As with many cameras with a shutter in the lens, the maximum shutter speed is limited by the selected aperture.
Movie shooting
The Ricoh GR can capture 1080p movies at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second and save them in the MOV format with H.264 compression. It doesn't include a socket for an external mic, limiting audio quality by having to rely on built-in stereo microphones.
There's no exposure control when shooting movies (not even exposure compensation), so videographers shouldn't get too excited by the idea of the GR. You can apply many of the camera's film-related 'Effects' processing modes to the footage, but that's about it, in terms of control.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3Written on 20 April 2013 by eK-gadgets
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 Review
Since the introduction of the Lumix DMC-GH1 back in 2009, the GH-series' place in Panasonic's Lumix lineup has been clear; a flagship stills and video model designed for enthusiasts who demand a well-handling, responsive and customizable camera with all the latest technology the company has to offer. The goal was to show that a camera did not need to be the size of a DSLR to perform like one. The enthusiastic and largely unanticipated response to the GH2′s movie capabilities by working videographers (Google 'GH2 video hack' to get an idea for how keenly its capabilities are being exploited) has meant that Panasonic must now also consider that its camera is being integrated into professional video rigs.
With the announcement of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3, it's clear that Panasonic believes accessible manual camera controls, durable build and video capability can sell a camera, without depending on the Micro Four Thirds advantage of smaller body sizes. If that sounds like a description of a mid-range DSLR then it probably should – this is the most DSLR-like Micro Four Thirds model yet, with dimensions that essentially match those of the APS-C Sony SLT-A65.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 key features
- 16MP Live MOS sensor with three-core Venus 7 FHD engine
- Magnesium alloy body with weather sealing (dust and splash proof)
- ISO 200-12800 (extended range of ISO 125-25600)
- 6 fps continuous shooting
- AF speed of 0.07 seconds
- 1.7 million dot equiv. 16:9 ratio OLED viewfinder (873 x 500 pixels)
- 614k dot 3″ OLED rear screen (640 x 480 pixels)
- Full HD 60p/50p video with 30p/25p option
- MOV (h.264), MP4 and AVCHD formats
- Video bit rates of 50Mbps in IPB and 72Mbps in All-I compression modes
- Timecode support in MOV(H.264) and AVCHD formats
- 3.5mm mic socket and headphone socket
- Four channel wireless control for the optional DMW-FL360L external flash
- PC socket
- iOS and Android app control via Wi-Fi
Samsung NX1100Written on 20 April 2013 by eK-gadgets
Samsung's NX1100 SMART Camera Blends Professional Image Quality, with Instant Photo Sharing and Editing
Samsung Electronics America, Inc., today announced that the new NX1100, compact system camera (CSC) with built-in Wi-Fi and AutoShare,
"Never before has Samsung offered a SMART Camera with this level of image quality and AutoShare at this price point," said Ron Gazzola, vice president, marketing for digital imaging, Samsung Electronics America. "Bundled with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4, the NX1100 is a great introduction for photographers in the CSC category and ideal for consumer photographers looking to upgrade their photo taking, editing and sharing experience."
Portable, powerful fashion forward camera
Boasting a 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor and fast shutter speeds of up to 1/4000 seconds, the sleek NX1100 captures premium photos and videos that are the standard of Samsung's NX Series. The Samsung NX1100 offers a large, bright 3.0-inch LCD screen for composing images, 1080p HD video capture, and technologies like Smart Auto 2.0, which allows even a novice photographer to take pictures like an expert.
Sharing made easier
The sleek NX1100 makes it easy to capture and share memories using Samsung SMART Camera 2.0 features. With the touch of a button, consumers can connect via Wi-Fi thanks to a dedicated Smart Link Hot Key on the top of the camera that shares photos instantly and securely between the camera and a mobile device or directly to social media sites like Facebook and YouTube.
The Samsung SMART Camera App, available for both Android and iOS, creates a secure connection with the camera. The NX1100 is able to detect and auto-connect to a mobile device wirelessly whenever any of the SMART Camera features are activated. These include AutoShare, which automatically sends full resolution images and video to your mobile device; Mobile Link, which allows users to select and transfer images or albums from the camera directly to your smartphone at their leisure; and Remote Viewfinder, which provides users the ability to control the camera from a smartphone or tablet.
Edit like a pro with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
Adding more value to the NX1100, the camera comes bundled with Lightroom 4, the essential digital photography workflow solution, helping amateur and professional photographers quickly import, manage, enhance and showcase all their images within one application. Lightroom 4 is a $149 value and easily upgradeable once future versions are released.
Creativity is a Snap
Expression through photography is made a reality for photographers at any level with the NX1100. With the Smart Auto setting, the camera analyzes, identifies and automatically selects the most appropriate scene mode for the best results. Scene detection technology identifies the conditions and automatically adjusts settings to help achieve dynamic images—whether photos are taken at a low-light fashion event or while capturing dazzling fireworks at a summer gathering. For users seeking more control, the Smart Panel feature allows them to explore their own photography skills with Full Manual Control settings for aperture, shutter speed, flash intensity and more – all from a single, intuitive menu screen.
The NX1100 touts ten exclusive Smart Filters and a new Selective Color function, which allows users to isolate a single color in an image for a dramatic effect. Capturing an expansive scene is also a breeze, thanks to the innovative 3D Panorama feature that creates immersive shots of landscapes and scenery.
BlackBerry 10 to be released on January 30, 2013Written on 13 December 2012 by eK-gadgets
BlackBerry users have something to look forward to in the new year. RIM (Research in Motion) has announced it will be holding an event on January 30, 2013 to release the latest BlackBerry developments.
BlackBerry 10 was in the news last week when it passed its U.S. security clearance. The super secure operating system promises to be a user experience "that is unlike any smartphone on the market today."
BlackBerry 10 promises to improve on its typing interface as well as introduce systems to keep your work data separated from your personal files. It is also going to introduce BlackBerry Hub—a tool similar to Android and iOS's Notification Centers. RIM's press release made no mention of BlackBerry 10's photographic capabilities but it did promise a large catalog of applications across all categories.
Full Press Release
BlackBerry 10 Launch Event to be Held on January 30th 2013
November 12, 2012
Waterloo, ON – Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) announced today that it will hold its BlackBerry® 10 launch event on January 30th, 2013.

BlackBerry 10 will offer a large catalog of the leading applications from across the globe and across all categories, including Games, Productivity, Social, Lifestyle and Leisure, Multimedia and Published Content, as well as applications designed for business and enterprise use.
The BlackBerry® 10 platform has recently achieved FIPS 140-2 certification, which means that government agencies will be able to deploy BlackBerry 10 smartphones and BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 10 as soon as it is available. This marks the first time BlackBerry products have been certified ahead of their launch. In addition, RIM recently announced that BlackBerry 10 smartphones have now entered more than 50 carrier labs with many more entries expected in the coming weeks.

BlackBerry Keyboard

With BlackBerry Balance, personal apps and information are kept separate from work data, and the customer can switch from their personal to work profile with a simple gesture. The work profile is fully encrypted and secure, enabling organizations to protect their content and applications, while at the same time letting customers get the most out of their smartphone for their personal use.

When you market to your potential prospects and they respond, it feels like magic.
They click on links from your email campaign or respond to your status on Twitter and/or Facebook. Not only do they respond, they share the information with their friends and business associates because of the value of your product or service and the magic continues.
That feels GREAT right?
The momentum begins. Your plan is working. You are delivering what you promised. Now what?
Optimize your marketing efforts and goals, build a team. After all, now that you are growing you cannot continue to do everything yourself.
It is time to take your business to the next level fulfilling the ultimate goal – GROWTH.
One of the members of your marketing team is a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant plays a key role in support of your marketing efforts/plan.
A virtual marketing assistant can take the leadership role in:
As a marketing virtual assistant I intricately learn your product or service as well as your business. This knowledge aids in support of your business with basic Internet marketing programs.
Delegate what you feel is important yet time consuming, you save money. Think about what you charge and where YOUR time should truly be spent.
I have a client that I have worked with for more than 5 years. She has a local business TV show where she interviews and promotes other small businesses. She is also starting a new business that does not exist in the United States so many things need to be created to fit the US markets.
For the show, I provide a letter to each guest with details about the taping, follow up to make sure they receive them and answer any questions they have. I am available via telephone on the day of the taping in case they get lost, or for any last minute changes for she is spending her time with other staff members preparing for the show.
Her new business requires more start-up needs. I created a new form for people to join, a new logo similar to the other one she has to have consistent branding, a "Save the Date" card to promote the grand opening of the new office.
She leverages her time spent on the most important aspects that only she could do and delegates those important marking support items that are also critical to her success.
Once the marketing materials are done, website updated, it's a matter of helping to promote the event on the various social networking platforms, email campaigns, auto-responder, etc.
I have become such an integral part of her business that her clients come to her events looking to meet me!
The length of time we have worked together is beneficial as I now know her style, her services and products, colors and various other components important to her brand. She merely sends an email with the request and I fulfill the need.
I am always on the internet reading, searching information about new technology and processes, and reading blogs. I am always paying attention to how others are marketing and the success they are having or have not, so my clients are always seeking advice and suggestions for their products or service.
Quite often we brainstorm ideas and thoughts and make recommendations to each other. With all the information available, this is another way we help each other by sharing the success we learn from others.
Once your team is built and they are connected to you and your brand, the less you will have to initiate to ensure that your processes and needs are followed. Utilize your team to create and sustain your marketing system so as each promotion begins and ends, everyone knows their role and the steps to take.
Have you considered the idea of working with a virtual assistant? What about it has grabbed your interest, and what has held you back? What is the biggest challenge that you face in letting go of some of your marketing tasks?
I considered hiring a virtual assistant a while back. It backfired. Firstly, I wasn't able to get hold of a genuine person. Secondly, I did not have a clear plan with the virtual assistant training. I assumed the person would just do it. The hard fact is that we need to train our VA and also must have a very clear goal as to how we will sue a VA in our business.
Hey Adarsh, thanks for stopping by.
Yeah, finding someone good is challenging, and even the best people (my assistant is great) require training and support. We sometimes expect that we'll hire someone who can just read our minds and turn our wills into action, but that's a bit unrealistic. 😉
That's true.
How did you find your VA?
Well, Megan isn't completely virtual – I hired her locally (through Craigslist) by going through a very rigorous hiring process, and now she does most of her work remotely. If you're interested in the details of the process, send me an email to danny (at) firepolemarketing (dot) com.
I always suggest to people to at least start with a list of what you want to outsource first. An experienced VA can ask the right questions and help you with that process. My longest client started local too, I went to his office at first, it is probably a comfort for some. Since I have lived in 3 different states and we have not missed a beat. Regardless if they are local or virtual…when you are both on the same page and that magic happens..you both win. Be patient and willing to put the time in…you'll learn pretty quickly if it's a good match or not..if it's a true partnership..everyone wins.
I haven't used a V.A., but I know that the days are just ahead of me when I'll want to tap into this type of resource to assist with whatever ventures pop up for me. To be honest I haven't read/learned much on this topic so this was a good post offering me some insight.
Thanks for this post, and sharing your example.
Hey Jk, great to see you here (as always!). It's definitely something to consider, depending on your needs in terms of volume and complexity of work that you could out-source.
If it's a very high volume and low complexity, then you might want to look at getting someone remote, possibly in a developing country – as long as the task isn't too complex, it won't be too hard to communicate it over language and geographic barriers.
If it's more complex work, then a local (possibly part-time) assistant might be a good way to go.
Thanks, I suggest you create lists of what only you can do vs. what is time consuming that you can delegate. Set aside some time and make a few calls and brainstorm…an experienced VA will be able to help you determine the most efficient way to get things started. If you just want some suggestions, feel free to contact me.
Hi Michelle,
I am in touch with several VAs through their blogs and aware of how important a VA can be to a solopreneur. I haven't had the chance to use one yet but when things get big, I will definitely hire one! I know the value they bring
Yay Diana…wishing you much success so you CAN hire one and grow even more!
I used to have one, but had to let her go for now – feel the pressure of doing it all by myself!
I know you know what I am talking about, Danny. lol
The best way to hire a Virtual Assistant is to look first on his/her experience on the job the job your intend to give. Try to ask for any portfolio or samples of their work. Also try to see their reviews from previous employers. Because it is important for you to know all this things just to make sure that he/she can do the jobs fast and accurate. If have chosen the right VA, you should not be too strict in what you want to happen. Just tell them and ask them if they already know what you want them to do. Give them tips to make their easier and would give the best result.
I really like your honest examples of how working together long term with a virtual assistant increases your productivity.
I work with a VA from Asia myself. You can get a person like that for a really affordable amount of money.
The trick then really lies in training that one person until you're blue in the face. If you do that, then you create a real future asset for your business.
I like to outsource my social media promotions over StumbleUpon as well as getting help with creating auto-responders.
These two tasks alone save me so much time.
It's great to see that you do it really similar to me
Good luck with your business.

Listening is not quite the same thing as hearing. Hearing is a biological process that can be scientifically explained, but listening is a psychological process of what happens to sounds as we interpret and use them. It is a cognitive activity.
In psychology, speech is part of pragmatics, a field which deals with signs and their interpretation. The signs in question are called "speech acts".[1]
To listen means to try and understand what has been said. Listening is often one side of a conversation. Asking questions helps one understand what has been said. A subject can be better understood by asking the correct questions.
Listening differs from obeying. Parents often say to a disobedient child that he "didn't listen to me". However, a person who receives and understands information or an instruction, and then chooses not to comply with it or to agree to it, has listened to the speaker, even though the result is not what the speaker wanted.

Well, I can't start a new entry this week without saying congratulations to the Boston Red Sox! Our staff members and co-op students celebrated the parade (which passed right by campus) by wearing our Red Sox gear this week. Here are a few shots...
I can't believe that it's November already - it seems like just a few short weeks ago the staff and I were preparing for the fall travel season and looking forward to meeting with prospective students from all over the world. This week, all but one of our admission officers will return to the office to attend an all-staff retreat and to begin our application review and evaluation training.
Each year before we begin reading and evaluating applications, we take time to update and retrain staff. We cover a number of topics including interpreting transcripts, test scores and recommendations and we spend significant time reviewing our ratings so that all staff has a clear understanding of how to apply these indices to each applicant. We then practice reviewing and rating the same set of applications until we all have the ability to recognize and appropriately identify strengths and weaknesses in each applicant. Our training is critical to ensuring that all applicants receive a thorough and quality evaluation. (I'll write more about our evaluation process later.)
While we are preparing to begin the reading and evaluation process, we know many seniors are finalizing the list of schools to which they plan to apply. We also know that many seniors are trying to decide whether or not to apply to a school under an early plan. As an admission professional, I don't encourage early application, unless the student has really done a thorough college search and has identified a school as a top choice. Many colleges and universities have begun to eliminate or limit their early plans when they realize that students are only applying to gain an advantage in the admission process. We have not had this problem at Northeastern and will continue to offer an early plan.
At Northeastern, we have early action which is non-binding. We implemented our early action program three years ago to provide an opportunity for students who were really interested in Northeastern and well qualified to receive their admission decision by January 1 of their senior year. Our early action program is for those students who have taken the time to learn about Northeastern and have decided that Northeastern is among their top choices for college. We want students who are eager to enroll at Northeastern and ready to take advantage of our experiential learning opportunities like co-op and study abroad. Applying early action is an indication of that interest.
For the last three years we have admitted a larger percentage of the EA applicant pool than we do from the regular decision applicant pool. While I am not able to definitively say that this will be our approach this year, I can tell you that we are happy with our EA program and don't have evidence that students are applying EA to gain an advantage in our process. Students who apply EA and are admitted tend to enroll at Northeastern at significantly higher rates than those who apply regular decision. This is important to us as we want to enroll students who are NU eager. Whether or not we actually continue to admit a larger percentage of the EA pool than we do from the regular decision pool depends on the number and quality of applications we received. However, I can say that we will always want to admit those well qualified students who are eager to attend NU.
If you do decide to apply to Northeastern under our EA program, remember the EA deadline is November 15. If you have already submitted your EA application, remember to log onto NU Application Status Check to make sure we have received all of your documents. I'll keep you posted about the process as the applicant pool develops.
Until next time…

I had super dry, acne prone ,patchy, fair skin . Had being the operative word. Since using this in combination with the clary sage night cream , my skin is no longer dry, and it doesn't break out!!
This cream cleanser won't give you the squeaky clean feel like a foaming cleanser would , but that is the point ! You don't want to scrub your face to the point where you're stripping away natural oils, that will cause your body to create more oil and clog your pores. Nobody wants that :(
So, I cannot recommend this enough . To put icing on the cake, it's natural!!!! Give it a try, really, you may love it :)

It is cooling and gentle but not suitable for oily skin. It says deep cleansing, however, it feels like a combination of cold cream and cleanser.

I absolutely LOVE this facial cleanser. I've spent the past two years battling pesky combination acne that consisted of the random appearance of painful cystic acne, black heads and just about every pimple that no woman wants to spend their life trying to get rid of. I tried what feels like every salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide facial cleanser out there and it all seemed to be making my acne worst. I finally turned to the more natural route. I was so surprised to find out that the second I stopped using such harsh acne medications, my skin responded with beautiful results! This is a thick cleanser that smells amazing and leaves your skin feeling tingly and well moisturized. I've been using this cleanser twice a day for the past few months, followed by moisturizing with %100 natural Aloe Vera, jojoba oil and rosehip seed oil and my skin has never looked better. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone that has struggled with acne to no end and is willing to try a more organic and natural route concerning skin care.

I never would have thought I�d like this product, but I really do! Even though it leaves my skin with a fresh/tingly/minty sensation, it doesn�t upset my sensitive skin at all, and I came to like that minty feeling. I find that this really cleanses beautifully, and I especially like to use it with my Clarisonic for a deep but gentle and suds-free clean, or on its own in the morning to wake me up. It rinses easily and leaves my skin feeling really cleand and fresh, but not stripped. My travel size is empty now and I know I�m going to miss it, so I will definitely repurchase.

I'm absolutely in love with this product! I have very sensitive skin but this doesn't break me out or dry out my face at all! My only problem with this product is that the smell is very strong and sometimes it stings my eyes. But other than that I'm totally in love with this cleanser! I will definitely be repurchasing!

This is a very good mild cream cleanser. I've always suffered from zits all over my cheeks and chin then I discovered this amaze-ball cleanser! I've been using this since November 2014 and my face cleared up. I use this every morning and night, even removing makeup (mineral foundation, lip & cheek tint, waterproof mascara). This doesn't make my skin dry but kept my oil at bay. This is the best cleanser I used so far. Though it's a bit pricey in my country, the Philippines, I'll continue to use and purchase this.
How I use this:
In morning i lather this on my wet face then massage then rinse. At night, I lather this on my dry skin until I can feel that it already melt my makeup, then rinse thoroughly. Even it doesn't foam like other cleanser, a little goes a long way.

This is an extraordinarily mild, gentle cleanser. If you're used to cleansers that foam or lather with water, you might be taken aback by this product since it has the consistency of a thick cream or lotion and doesn't react to water. However, it doesn't feel heavy on the skin, like you might expect a cream to do. If I take off my foundation with a warm washcloth, a dollop half the size of a pea is enough to cover my face lightly and remove whatever makeup remains. It leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean, and doesn't disrupt my skin's natural oil production. This is critical, since I have acne-prone combination skin with dry patches � it makes my skin neither oily nor dry, and I use it twice daily. It comes in a generous 170 g tube, so its value mediates its price (around $13). It also smells divine, like a long-lost German fruit candy I once tried! This cleanser has become a staple in my skincare routine.

I purchased it because I wanted to try the natural face cleaner without harsh chemicals. But I discovered that it doesn't clean my face. All my makeup was on the cotton round when I applied the toner! The menthol cools down you skin and makes you think that your face is clean when in fact it is not. Also, the menthol irritates my eyes. I wouldn't purchase it again.

After doing some research I have seen some really good reviews on Burt's Bees products so I thought I would try some of their face products as my skin is so hard to please! I have oily skin and after trying so many anti-blemish face cleansers and wasting so much money on them for no visible improvements I thought I might as well try Burt's Bees!
The cleanser itself is a cream and smells LOVELY! You don't need to use much and it's so soft on the skin. I found it took both makeup and eye makeup off where some other cleansers don't. It makes your face feel really fresh and clean and as it's in a cream it doesn't dry your skin out!
It's one of the best face washes I have used in a while and my skin has cleared up in the week that I have been using it.

> UFC 166 Recap (10-20-2013)
UFC 166 Recap (10-20-2013)
Cageside recap of UFC 166
Staff writer: Tim McNamara
Cain Velasquez vs Junior Dos Santos
"Sometimes your best just isn't good enough."
What was billed as the greatest heavyweight trilogy (the only?) in UFC history had a number of angles and storylines coming into the event. Each fighter had won a fight in dominating fashion over the other. Cigano had quickly KO'd Cain coming off a near year out of the sport due to injury. Velasquez had battered Cigano for 5 rounds in the rematch.
Which version of each fighter would show up?
The 1st round started much like the 2nd fight, with Cain pressing forward, landing punches on his way in, scoring a takedown, and pressuring Cigano against the cage. In close, Cain could take away the space Cigano would need to get the KO as in the first fight.
The 2nd round started much the same way as the first with Cain punching on his way in, and as Cigano missed on a big swing, Cain would close the gap then pressure him against the cage, dirty boxing, then work for the takedown and grind on Cigano. Midway through the 2nd round you could see the fatigue of the pressure and cage work begin to set in on Cigano's face. The fatigue would lead to Cain landing heavier punches on the way in as he would force more clinch work and cage work.
The 3rd round would be more of the same with Cain pressuring forward and as Cigano's hands dropped lower, he would take heavier punches before getting mired in Cain's pressure against the cage and dirty boxing. A long right hand caught Cigano behind the left ear and he stumbled back and Herb Dean nearly stepped in to wave it off but Cigano somehow struggled back to his feet and survived until the end of the round. If Cain had backed off and made some space, he could have probably finished the fight then.
The final round began with both fighters looking the worse for wear and red tinged fight shorts. Cain shot for an early single leg and put Cigano on the back foot, scoring an early takedown into Cigano's guard. Cigano somehow struggled to his feet one last time. Cigano was slung to the mat as Cain looked to escape what may have been a guillotine, and as he sat on his knees, Cain hit him a few last times and Cigano simply covered up, forcing Herb Dean to wave off the fight.
The fight ended much like the 2nd one with Cigano's face a bloody mess. The end result, a stoppage, but stylistically another dominant 5 round performance by Cain. It's hard to imagine any other heavyweight bringing the pace and pressure that Cain does. Up next for Cain, he faces a different question in Fabricio Werdum. ---
Diego Sanchez vs Gilbert Melendez
As entertaining as Diego Sanchez is in losing, I cannot imagine this style is good for his long term health, brain function, nor longevity as a fighter. The first 45 seconds of this fight had Diego locking in a rear naked choke on Melendez back from standing and coming probably closer to finishing Melendez than Ben Henderson did in 5 rounds.
Other than fighting from opposite stances, it's amazing how similar Diego and Gilbert look when fighting one another, like mirror images. Rangey for their weight class, torid pace, and always willing to scramble and use all the tools in the toolbox.
Diego would become one of the few guys I've seen knock down Gilbert Melendez but it would not be enough to get the nod as Melendez stayed a bit more accurate with his punches, knocking down and wobbling Diego more frequently throughout the fight to win a decision.
With the win, Dana White says Melendez is back in the title mix picture, whatever that means. Since Henderson no longer has the belt, Melendez may or may not win another fight then face whoever has the belt after Josh Thompson faces Anthony Pettis which would no doubt be an interesting match-up. I don't know that anyone cares to see a fourth meeting between Thompson and Melendez which is not new to MMA fans but would be to the casual UFC viewer. I think Thompson is a toss up softball fighter for Pettis to get a title defense under his belt and look impressive doing so before having Pettis fight a 5 round grinder against the likes of Melendez. --
Gabriel Gonzaga vs Shawn Jordan
Gabriel Gonzaga continued his mystifying ability to look like a world beater some nights with thunderous fists and Jiu-Jitsu or get dismantled inside of a few rounds while he appears to wish he was elsewhere. Tonight, he looked impressive with a first round stoppage of another imposing looking heavyweight who's jumped right into the deep end of the professional MMA fight game.
I don't know where this leaves Gonzaga but with the lack of depth in the heavyweight game, he could be a fight or two from a title shot after Werdum faces Cain. --
Daniel Cormier vs Roy Nelson
Daniel Cormier who has looked uninspired at times in his fights looked nothing short of explosive and dominating in his fight against Roy Jones. Perhaps his process of looking to light heavyweight has him looking to be a faster, lighter on his feet fighter, but he was all over Roy Nelson, mixing up punching combinations, takedowns, and footwork. Nelson who also has the penchant to finish fights or look plodding and under the weather stayed in the fight but had no answer for all the questions Cormier posed to him throughout the co-main event. Cormier picked up a dominant decision and will now look to drop to light heavyweight. --
John Dodson vs Darrell Montague
John Dodson is in the no man's land of having lost to the champ in pretty clear fashion but being much better than the other guys that remain in his weight class. No one is clamoring for another title shot on his behalf but he's fought or will finish most of the newcomers to the division that can be dug up.
Enter Darrell Montague who from nearly the opening exchange got caught and appeared overmatched as Dodson swarmed him off an early punch and never let him get back into the fight.
I can't imagine Dodson is more than a fight or two from another title shot given the lack of depth in his division and his ability to finish anyone that's not wearing the title belt. --
Hector Lombard vs Nate Marquardt
How times change? Marquardt not long ago dropped to 170 and looked amazing against Tyron Woodley. Fast forward and he lost to a UFC-unknown Tarec Saffiedene who also came over from Strikeforce. Last night did not change Marquardt's luck as he dropped a first round KO to Hector Lombard who is also looking at the chopping block after his penchant for finishes and wins disappearing as he joined the UFC.
In other news, KJ Noons picked up a lackluster decision over George Sotiropolous who has never quite regained form from when he was a title contender just under a couple years ago

4 September 2013
AUSTIN: Users of social media are most likely to be motivated to share online content if it is interesting, important or funny, according to a new global study of social media usage.
In a poll of 12,420 global internet users conducted by Ipsos Open Thinking Exchange, the global innovation centre of market research firm Ipsos, 61% of those who indicated they had
shared some content online
over the past month said their main reason was because they wanted "to share interesting things".
Wanting "to share important things" and also "to share funny things" were tied at 43% as the next most popular reasons for sharing.
Sharing important things was the top reason in nearly all countries surveyed except Saudi Arabia, where 65% indicated their main reason was to let "others know what I believe in and who I really am". The global average for this reason was 37%.
Regional differences emerged from the survey with respondents in China, Indonesia, South Africa and Turkey topping the list of countries where there was willingness to share interesting content. Respondents in Japan, Germany and Saudi Arabia, occupied the bottom of the list.
In other findings, 30% of global users indicated they shared content to recommend a product, service or movie while 29% said it was "to add my support to a cause, an organisation or a belief".
"To share unique things" motivated 26%, "to let others know what I'm doing" prompted 22% while 20% wanted to add a thread or conversation.

Nature's Nursery Center for Wildlife Rehabilitation & Conservation Education is seeking donations to help with care for a Sandhill Crane chick that was attacked by a dog in Williams County.
When the crane was brought to center, located in the Blue Creek Conservation Area in Whitehouse, Aug. 11 it had multiple puncture wounds and spinal trauma and was unable to stand on its own.
The staff has been providing care for the chick, including medication and physical therapy. The biggest challenge to the crane's recovery was to get the chick to eat. Staff offered many appropriate options, and its favorites were discovered to be mice, smelt and earthworms.
On a warm summer night the Lake Township trustees turned their attention to an item used during the winter – road salt.
And after hearing the price it would cost to buy salt through the Ohio Department of Transportation bidding process, the trustees approved a motion Tuesday to not participate in the program.
Dan McLargin, township road supervisor, informed the trustees it would cost townships and municipalities in Wood County $134.82 a ton for salt if ODOT agreed to purchase from Morton Salt, Inc., which was the only company to submit a bid to the department.
The township paid a little more than $32 a ton earlier this year when it replenished its supply, McLargin said.
The Press Newspapers won three awards from the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists for publications with a circulation of fewer than 75,000.
Managing Editor John Szozda won second place in the best columnist category. Szozda, News Editor Larry Limpf, Sports Editor Pat Eaken, Features Editor Tammy Walro and Photographer Ken Grosjean won second place in social issues reporting for the special section "Housing in East Toledo: Downward Spiral or Opportunity, which looked at the precipitous decline in housing values, what contributed to that decline, the emergence of absentee landlords and what is being done to rekindle the American dream of owning a home.
Kelly J. Kaczala and Melissa A. Burden won second place in public records use for their story, "Questions raised over the need for senior levy," which uncovered information on whether voters were given accurate information on the need for a new senior services levy that would be on the November 2013 ballot in Oregon.
The Eastwood school board plans to remove a bond issue request from the November ballot.
Brent Welker, school superintendent, said the board intends to make the decision for removing the issue during its meeting Tuesday (Aug. 26).
The board in June agreed to place a levy on the ballot to help fund a new elementary school on the central campus.
Since then, the district has received its first payment reflecting a revised valuation of a Troy Energy facility, Welker said, and school officials say they have more options for the district's share of construction costs.
Oregon council on Monday approved a contract with ARCADIS, US Inc., for additional design engineering services for raw water treatment improvements for the water treatment plant for $295,000.
"Our water treatment plant certainly is a priority to ensure the safety of our drinking water and I believe council has felt strongly about this also," said Mayor Mike Seferian.
He met with Administrator Mike Beazley, Public Service Director Paul Roman, and Doug Wagner, superintendent of water treatment, and decided that using ozone ultraviolet light in the pretreatment process would reduce the chance of having potential problems in the future.

|Entamoeba histolytica
Schaudinn, 1903
Entamoeba histolytica is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan, part of the genus Entamoeba.[1] Predominantly infecting humans and other primates, E. histolytica is estimated to infect about 50 million people worldwide. Previously, it was thought that 10% of the world population was infected, but these figures predate the recognition that at least 90% of these infections were due to a second species, E. dispar.[2] Mammals such as dogs and cats can become infected transiently, but are not thought to contribute significantly to transmission.
The word histolytic literally means "Tissue destroyer"
The active (trophozoite) stage exists only in the host and in fresh loose feces; cysts survive outside the host in water, in soils, and on foods, especially under moist conditions on the latter. The cysts are readily killed by heat and by freezing temperatures, and survive for only a few months outside of the host.[3] When cysts are swallowed they cause infections by excysting (releasing the trophozoite stage) in the digestive tract. The pathogenic nature of E. histolytica was first reported by Lösch in 1875, but it was not given its Latin name until Fritz Schaudinn described it in 1903. E. histolytica, as its name suggests (histo–lytic = tissue destroying), is pathogenic; infection can be asymptomatic or can lead to amoebic dysentery or amoebic liver abscess.[1][4] Symptoms can include fulminating dysentery, bloody diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, abdominal pain, and amoeboma. The amoeba can actually 'bore' into the intestinal wall, causing lesions and intestinal symptoms, and it may reach the blood stream. From there, it can reach different vital organs of the human body, usually the liver, but sometimes the lungs, brain, spleen, etc. A common outcome of this invasion of tissues is a liver abscess, which can be fatal if untreated. Ingested red blood cells are sometimes seen in the amoeba cell cytoplasm.
The E. histolytica genome was sequenced, assembled, and automatically annotated in 2005.[5] The genome was reassembled and reannotated in 2010.[6] The 20 million basepair genome assembly contains 8,160 predicted genes; known and novel transposable elements have been mapped and characterized, functional assignments have been revised and updated, and additional information has been incorporated, including metabolic pathways, Gene Ontology assignments, curation of transporters, and generation of gene families.[7] The major group of transposable elements in E. histolytica are non-LTR retrotransposons. These have been divided in three families called EhLINEs and EhSINEs (EhLINE1,2,3 and EhSINE1,2,3).[8] EhLINE1 encode an endonuclease (EN) protein (in addition to Reverse Transcriptase and nucleotide-binding ORF1), which have similarity with bacterial Restriction Endonuclease. This similarity with bacterial protein indicates that Transposable Elements have been acquired from prokaryotes by horizontal gene transfer in this protozoan parasite.[9]
In the vast majority of cases, infection is asymptomatic and the carrier is unaware they are infected. However, in an estimated 10% of cases E. histolytica causes disease. Once the trophozoites are excysted they colonise the large bowel, remaining on the surface of the mucus layer and feeding on bacteria and food particles. Occasionally, and in response to unknown stimuli, trophozoites move through the mucus layer where they come in contact with the epithelial cell layer and start the pathological process. E. histolytica has a lectin that binds to galactose and N-acetylgalactosamine sugars on the surface of the epithelial cells, The lectin normally is used to bind bacteria for ingestion. The parasite has several enzymes such as pore forming proteins, lipases, and cysteine proteases, which are normally used to digest bacteria in food vacuoles but which can cause lysis of the epithelial cells by inducing cellular necrosis and apoptosis when the trophozoite comes in contact with them and binds via the lectin. The trophozoites will then ingest these dead cells. This damage to the epithelial cell layer attracts human immune cells and these in turn can be lysed by the trophozoite, which releases the immune cell's own lytic enzymes into the surrounding tissue, creating a type of chain reaction and leading to tissue destruction. This destruction manifests itself in the form of an 'ulcer' in the tissue, typically described as flask shaped because of its appearance in transverse section. this tissue destruction can also involve blood vessels leading to bloody diarrhoea, amebic dysentery. Occasionally, trophozoites enter the bloodstream where they are transported typically to the liver via the portal system. In the liver a similar pathological sequence ensues, leading to amebic liver abscesses. The trophozoites can end up in other organs also, sometimes via the bloodstream, sometimes via liver abscess rupture or fistulas. In all locations similar pathology can occur.
Pathogen interaction[edit]
E. histolytica may modulate the virulence of certain human viruses and is itself a host for its own viruses.
For example, AIDS accentuates the damage and pathogenicity of E. histolytica.[10] On the other hand, cells infected with HIV are often consumed by E. histolytica. Infective HIV remains viable within the amoeba, although fortunately there has been no proof of human reinfection from amoeba carrying this virus.[11]
A burst of research on viruses of E. histolytica stems from a series of papers published by Diamond et al. from 1972 to 1979. In 1972, they hypothesized two separate polyhedral and filamentous viral strains within E. histolytica that caused cell lysis. Perhaps the most novel observation was that two kinds of viral strains existed, and that within one type of amoeba (strain HB-301) the polyhedral strain had no detrimental effect but led to cell lysis in another (strain HK-9). Although Mattern et al. attempted to explore the possibility that these protozoal viruses could function like bacteriophages, they found no significant changes in Entamoeba histolytica virulence when infected by viruses. However, no newer published research has been conducted on this species since.[12]
It can be diagnosed by stool samples, but it is important to note that certain other species are impossible to distinguish by microscopy alone. Trophozoites may be seen in a fresh fecal smear and cysts in an ordinary stool sample. ELISA or RIA can also be used.[citation needed]
There are many kinds of effective drugs. This is just a short overview of a few of the different methods of treatments.
Intestinal infection: Usually nitroimidazole derivatives are used because they are highly effective against the trophozoite form of the amoeba. Since they have little effect on amoeba cysts, usually this treatment is followed by an agent (such as paromomycin or diloxanide furoate) that acts on the organism in the lumen.
Liver abscess: In addition to targeting organisms in solid tissue, primarily with drugs like metronidazole and chloroquine, treatment of liver abscess must include agents that act in the lumen of the intestine (as in the preceding paragraph) to avoid re-invasion. Surgical drainage is usually not necessary except when rupture is imminent.[13]
Asymptomatic patients: For asymptomatic patients (otherwise known as carriers, with no symptoms), non endemic areas should be treated by paromomycin, and other treatments include diloxanide furoate and iodoquinol. There have been problems with the use of iodoquinol and iodochlorhydroxyquin, so their use is not recommended. Diloxanide furoate can also be used by mildly symptomatic persons who are just passing cysts.

|Mode of reproduction
|Binary fission
|Lytic necrosis (it looks like "flask-shaped" holes in Gastrointestinal tract sections (GIT)
|Type of encystment

|Lab diagnosis
|Most common is direct fecal smear (DFS) and staining (but does not allow identification to species level); enzyme immunoassay (EIA); indirect hemagglutination (IHA); Antigen detection – monoclonal antibody; PCR for species identification. Sometimes only the use of a fixative (formalin) is effective in detecting cysts. Culture: From faecal samples - Robinson's medium, Jones' medium
|Metronidazole for the invasive trophozoites PLUS a lumenal amoebicide for those still in the intestine. Paromomycin (Humatin) is the luminal drug of choice, since Diloxanide furoate (Furamide) is not commercially available in the USA or Canada (being available only from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). A direct comparison of efficacy showed that Paromomycin had a higher cure rate.[14] Paromomycin (Humatin) should be used with caution in patients with colitis, as it is both nephrotoxic and ototoxic. Absorption through the damaged wall of the intestinal tract can result in permanent hearing loss and kidney damage. Recommended dosage: Metronidazole 750 mg three times a day orally, for 5 to 10 days FOLLOWED BY Paromomycin 30 mg/kg/day orally in 3 equal doses for 5 to 10 days or Diloxanide furoate 500 mg 3 times a day orally for 10 days, to eradicate lumenal amoebae and prevent relapse.[15][16]

Playborhoods are for grownups, too
Mike Lanza started inviting his neighbors to come on over and play. Right in his yard. Back and front. And, to be even more inviting, he has installed, at his own expense, an amazing collection of further invitations to play – trampolines (comparatively safe, in-ground, side-cushioned), playhouses, even a video projector for evening showtimes.
It's a brave thing to do in today's climate of super-cautions, highly litigious, helicoptering parents. And it's paying off in a lot of shared fun, community-building, and learning.
One thing Mike has recently learned is that, given the opportunity, parents actually want to play with their kids. What a departure from the way we perceive the function of public, basically kid-only playgrounds! What a valuable insight to those of us who believe in fun!
Here's his article: Playborhoods are for Grown-Ups, Too. Read it and applaud.
