The long seller Yakitori Bento from Hasegawa store! Sells 900,000 boxes every yearThe food of Hakodate which has not been introduced in Hokkaido Likers yet. Here we go, "Yakitori Bento" from the local convenience chain store "Hasegawa Store" in Hakodate.
▲The entrance is decorated with the bento box shaped object which can be noticed from a distance!
Yakitori Bento was born from Hakodate's food culture and love of Hasegawa StoreThree grilled skewed pork ribs covered with the sweet soy sauce based sauce. Hasegawa Store's Yakitori Bento is, as you can see, not made with chicken.
▲The most popular Yakitori Bento (small) sauce flavor 445 yen. Contains 220g rice even if it is a small size.
Hokkaido is a pork culture district. For a long time, people used pork for sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. Pork is still preferred for Yakitori today, especially in the port town area, sweet sauce flavors are more popular comparing to salt flavors.
At the predecessor liquor store "Hasegawa Sakujirou Shouten", Yakitori (of course pork) or onigiri or bento boxes were cooked for a warm snack with alcoholic drinks.
▲Not only the bento boxes but the number of orders of Yakitori is large.
This is a story on a night. A customer came to Hasegawa Store to buy a bento box but it was sold out on that day. But they wanted to provide something and came up with the idea to make a bento box using rice, which was for onigiri and seaweed, and Yakitori. I see, this is why Yakitori Bento has seaweed on the rice!
It has been on sale from 1978 and has become a long seller product. Hakodate citizens call "Hasesuto's Yakiben". Today, Yakitori Bento became a big hit, being sold at all 14 branches and sells 900,000 boxes every year.
▲There is an illustration of a pig grilling yakitori on the package. Beni Shoga, red pickled ginger, gives some accent to the taste.
They start to grill yakitori after the order. Have the freshly made bento!The attraction of Yakitori Bento is that they don't stock the readymades, and let people enjoy freshly made bento. When they get an order, they put the pork on the gas range and start to grill. Dip the pork into the thick sauce and put them on the rice with seaweed, and it's done. It takes about 4 minutes.
This is a usual scene if it is a bento box specialized store, but this is a convenience store. The policy to "make customers happy" continues from the predecessor Hasegawa Sakujirou Shouten can be felt.
▲The point is to spray red wine to make the pork softer.
The sauce is based on soy sauce, thick but not too sweet. The seaweed soaked with the sauce can be enjoyed like Nori Bento.
▲JIRO, the bassist of Japanese band from Hakodate called "GLAY", introduced Yakitori Bento in the book he wrote, and Yakiben became famous all over Japan.
The largest store "Nakamichi Store" has the large booth for Yakitori Bento right in front of the entrance. At the back shelf, normal convenience store bento boxes are displayed at about the half of the area. Another half is dedicated for deli cooked in the store. The freshly baked bread, bento boxes, and other deli foods are available.
▲The Yakitori Bento Booth in Nakamichi Store (on the top). At the time I covered, the amount of deli was getting little but freshly made delis will be refilled. You can make your own bento box by picking the deli and rice.
Yakitori Bento provides the same taste but there are two points that got better. They are the ditches and cut seaweed. The ditches are intended to take the pork from the skew easily and cuts of seaweed are intended to make easy to cut with chopsticks. These considerations thought from the side of customers are so wonderful.
▲Check the ditches of the box (top left) -> fit the skew to the ditches (top right) -> hold the lid and turn the skew as you pull (bottom left) -> the pieces of pork are off the skew without making your hands dirty!
The product has lots of stories and very popular so there are lots of inquiries to sell Yakitori Bento at exhibitions of the products of Hokkaido. However, they keep declining the offer. The reason from Naotoshi Kusakari, the executive director and the head of product development, was like this: "The taste was raised by people in Hakodate. I want the taste of Yakitori Bento to be something to taste in Hakodate when they come back here."
Yakitori Bento is highly recommended because it is really easy Hakodate style food to try when you visit Hakodate for travel or for business. Why don't you buy Yakitori Bento to eat in your express train, Shinkansen, or in the plane? Have a nice evening with freshly made hot Yakitori Bento and cold SAPPORO CLASSIC beer.

There is mystery in the name of the enzyme and magic in the nucleoproteins, and both are coined by the pharmaceutical "manufacturers" into yellow gold. Every new discovery in physiology or pathology offers possibilities for the introduction of a new therapeutic agent, which often appears on the market long before physiologists or pathologists are themselves ready to interpret the significance of the discovery, much less to advise therapeutic measures based on it. This particular branch of commercial enterprise offers peculiar opportunities for preying on the public through the physician, for the latter is approached from a side that is of necessity weak and made to believe honestly that he is giving his patients the benefits of the most recent advances in medical science, whereas in reality he is acting as the unconscious agent of a thriving gold-brick industry.

"What if?" is THE most powerful question we can ask. Period. It allows us to not only come up with new crap, but it also gives us permission to be stupid, because it's not "HEY THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE" -- it's "What if?"
Every writer, illustrator, designer, scientist, engineer, and ponderer uses "What if" in their daily life whether they realize it or not. But all of you who aspire to be such creative types but just don't know how, there's the secret. You ask "What if?" and you ask it all the time, in public.
And if anyone insults you or thinks you're stupid, you just say "I was just wondering." Or, even better, you say "What do YOU think?" Or, even better than that, you say "Fuck off, I've got work to do."
Anyway, enjoy:

The following are loan programs that are offered at Ephrata National Bank. All of our loans are underwritten by ENB and we service the majority of our Conventional loans, so you can conveniently make payments at any one of our branches. Local decisions, local servicing and local commitment. Contact one of our Mortgage Experts to discuss which program is the best option for you.
Conventional Products:
Conforming Fixed
A traditional fixed-rate mortgage for loan amounts below the conforming loan limit ($417,000 in most areas of the country) and has a constant interest rate and monthly payments that never change over the term of the loan. Terms of 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30 years are available. This may be a good choice if you plan to stay in your home for seven years or longer. When interest rates are low, fixed-rate loans are generally not that much more expensive than adjustable-rate mortgages and may be a better deal in the long run, because you can lock in the rate for the life of your loan
Conforming ARM
With an adjustable-rate mortgage, you benefit from an initial interest rate that is lower than the current rate on a fixed- mortgage. Our 3/1, 5/1 and 7/1 ARMs offer the stability of a lower initial rate set for a period of three, five or seven years before adjusting annually.
Jumbo Fixed
Offering the same consistent payment for the life of the loan as a conforming fixed mortgage, but because of the higher loan amount (over $417,000 in most of the country) these loans are not guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Higher down payment percentages, slightly higher interest rates, and more stringent underwriting guidelines often apply.
Jumbo ARM
The initial interest rate is set lower for a period of 3, 5 or 7 years and adjusts annually thereafter. Because fixed rates are often higher for jumbo loans an adjustable rate loan program is often selected to create more affordable cash flow during the early years of the mortgage. This allows for an interest rate at or below the conventional fixed rate during the initial loan period.
Thinking of building your dream home? Our construction-to-permanent mortgage finances the initial construction of your new home then converts to permanent financing, with just one closing. Both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages are available. Options are available to lock the permanent mortgage for up to 12 months to allow for longer build times. During the construction phase, funds are disbursed as work progresses, with the borrower paying interest on only the outstanding balance. ConstructionPermanentTimeline.pdf.
GreatStart HomeLoanTM
A simple and straightforward loan for first time buyers, GreatStart HomeLoanTM offers two options: a fixed rate for 20 years or a 30 year amortization option that is locked in for the first 10 years (10/1 ARM). The fixed rate option assures your payments will never increase over the life of the loan. According to a National Association of Realtors (NAR) report *, the median length of time home buyers age 33 and younger expect to own their home is 10 years, so our 10/1 ARM option, which comes at a reduced interest rate and payments, makes homeownership even more affordable for our customers. Both options have no private mortgage insurance (PMI) and qualified borrowers can purchase a home with as little as 3% down. The seller may pay closing costs up to 6% of the sales price and all but 1% of the down payment may come from a gift or approved grant program. The GreatStart HomeLoan is designed to help low to moderate income borrowers purchase the home of their dreams. Certain income limits and other restrictions apply.
Extended Lock Programs
Rate lock periods longer than 60 days are considered "extended locks." For new construction or a longer close of escrow date, ENB Mortgage offers protection against rising rates but also allows you to benefit if rates drop with a free float down option. Lock in terms of up to a full year are available on some loan types.
Government Products:
FHA - Federal Housing Administration Guaranteed Home Loans
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) allows buyers to get a mortgage with a down payment as low as 3.5 percent. The underwriting and credit score requirements to qualify for an FHA loan generally are less stringent than for conventional loans. The seller is also permitted to contribute to the buyers closing costs and ENB can offer a lender credit towards closing costs. FHA also permits refinance options including cash-out.
VA – Veterans Administration Guaranteed Home Loans
The Veterans Administration (VA) offers three home loan guarantee programs for Active Duty Service members, Veterans, National Guard members, Reserve members, and certain surviving spouses. The three loan types are: Purchase Loans, Streamline Refinance Loans (IRRRL), and Cash–Out Refinance Loans. Eligible borrowers may obtain up to 100% financing. In order to qualify for a VA backed loan you must obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from VA that verifies you or your spouse's military service. The easiest way for you to obtain a COE is through http://www.ebenefits.va.gov/ or a Mortgage Expert at ENB can help you obtain this and explain your options. The program also allows for seller assistance for closing costs, so it is possible for a Veteran to purchase a primary residence for as little as $500 under this program.
USDA / Guaranteed Rural Housing
The Rural Housing Loan Program is designed to serve borrowers living in a rural area and meet specific income requirements. Guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture, eligible borrowers may obtain up to 100% financing. The program also allows for seller assistance for closing costs, so it is possible to purchase a primary residence in a qualified rural area with as little as $500 under this program.
Portfolio Products:
In keeping with Ephrata National Bank's commitment to our local community we offer Portfolio Mortgages to meet the needs of our customers. Also referred to as non-conforming mortgages, these loan programs focus on the unique needs in the local real estate market which may fall outside nationwide agency guidelines. Specially tailored underwriting guidelines allow for common sense local underwriting with no minimum loan amount and maximum financing as high as $2,000,000.
ENB Professional
This is a flexible loan program exclusively offered to advance degree professionals such as physicians and attorneys with stable and rapidly increasing incomes. Our Professional program allows deferred student debt to be excluded for qualifying purposes and future income potential to be considered for new professionals. No PMI is required with only a 10% down payment which may come from an unsecured private or employer loan.
ENB Self-Employed Program
This program permits reduced documentation for self-employed customers with excellent credit histories. Our underwriting guidelines focus on the ability to repay and not necessarily the bottom line of the tax returns. Borrowers who receive a W-2 salary from their company or can show sufficient K-1 partnership income may not be required to provide corporate or personal tax returns.
ENB No MI Option
Since ENB Mortgage is a portfolio lender, well qualified borrowers have the option to opt for a slightly higher interest rate instead of a monthly mortgage insurance premium when borrowing 80% to 90% of their home's value. This eliminates the need to meet certain standards set by individual mortgage insurers on higher LTV loans while simultaneously eliminating mortgage insurance payments.
Fast Move Program (Swing Loans)
Also called a "bridge loan" this program allows borrowers to borrow up to 80% of the value of their current residence to use towards the purchase of a new home. The money borrowed can be used towards the down payment or the closing costs and prepaid items on a new purchase. The Swing loan will also pay off any existing liens on the home that is pending sale resulting in a single, more affordable interest-only payment until the home is sold. This loan is designed for short term financing and may be used for up to 12 months to allow sufficient time to transition to or build a new home.
Blanket Loans
A Blanket Mortgage provides the simplicity of one mortgage covering a customer's primary residence and one other property. When purchasing a 2nd home or investment property with blanket financing, equity in the buyer's primary residence can be considered as down payment for the additional property. The total equity position based off appraisals on both homes must result in no more than 80% financed against the combined values. If in the future one property is sold, it is possible to release the lien provided there is sufficient equity in the other home.
ENB Wealth Builder Home Loan
The ENB Wealth Builder Home Loan** is a 15 year mortgage that builds equity in your home twice as fast as a traditional 30 year mortgage. This nontraditional mortgage is not limited to first time homebuyers and does not require mortgage insurance. Unlike some other mortgage product we do not have a restriction on your income or purchase price of the home***. We will allow you to finance up to 103 percent of the purchase price and have up to 6% seller contributions towards closing costs. Because we allow you to lock into below marketing interest rates for 5 or 7 years you can save thousands in interest charges.
Lot Loans
Our Lot loans can be used to finance up to 80% of an improved builder lot or 65% of unimproved raw land. These loans may be amortized over 30 years to provide a low monthly payment with a balloon due after 5 or 15 years depending on how quickly the borrower intends to build on the land. At the start of construction the lot loan will be paid off or replaced by a new permanent mortgage used to finance the construction project.

Here is a press release from the Macon County Emergency Management that was issued last night after I went to bed:
Press Release
For Immediate Release
Macon County Emergency Services
November 5, 2016
Warren Cabe, Director
Several large wildfires in and around the border of Macon County will continue to blanket several areas of the county with smoke. Smoke from fires in the US Highway 64 West area and the Tellico/ NC Highway 28 North area will be especially noticeable. These conditions will continue into tomorrow, especially during the early morning hours. Use extreme caution when driving into dense smoke areas.
Smoke can hurt your eyes, irritate your respiratory system, and worsen chronic heart and lung diseases.
Older adults and children are more likely to be affected by health threats from smoke. Avoiding these areas if smoke does irritate your health condition is the best recommendation, but if that is not possible indoor air can be kept cleaner by keeping windows and doors closed as much as possible.
Conditions are still extremely dangerous for outdoor burning. Outdoor burning is not recommended until significant rainfall decreases the fire danger.
End Press Release
Macon County Emergency Management released a similar statement on November 2, 2016. [LINK]
For those of you who have been wondering why local authorities have not instituted a burn ban, it is probably because they don't have the authority. The North Carolina General Assembly regulates burning in our state by General Statute. There are also some types of burning that the state cannot regulate, like fires for warmth or for cooking of they are within an enclosed structure.
The appropriate law concerning burning can be found in Chapter 106, Article 78 of the NCGS (North Carolina General Statutes). What Macon Media believes to be the appropriate paragraph is posted below:

Our long-term goal is to determine how gonadotropins function. Gonadotropins require N-glycans to fully activate their cognate receptors even though high affinity binding involves only protein-protein interactions. Gonadotropins are used to treat infertility, but become progressively less effective as patients age. Urinary and recombinant hFSH preparations lack a novel, highly active glycoform, di-glycosylated hFSH, that possesses only a subunit N-glycans and which predominates in pituitaries of young women. The relative abundance of di-glycosylated and tetra-glycosylated hFSH appear to be physiologically regulated. This proposal will define these changes and study possible mechanisms to explain differences in activity via 2 specific aims. 1. Characterize cyclic- and age-related changes in hFSH glycoform abundance. First, we will measure urinary FSH glycoform abundance in young healthy cycling women. Our working hypothesis is that ovarian feedback will alter FSH glycoform abundance. Second, we will evaluate glycoform abundance during the perimenopausal period, as the timing of the shift in glycoform abundance is unknown. One hypothesis is that FSH glycoform abundance changes gradually during the perimenopausal period, thereby contributing to declining fertility. An alternative hypothesis is that glycoform abundance changes abruptly at the menopausal transition. Finally, we will examine glycoform abundance in post-menopausal women and compare individuals receiving estrogen replacement therapy with those receiving none. Our working hypothesis is estrogen selectively inhibits hFSHfi glycosylation. 2. Identify a and /? subunit glycosylation patterns modulating FSH receptor-binding and FSH-stimulated steroidogenesis. We will compare receptor-binding and steroidogenic activities of di- and tetra-glycosylated hFSH. Our hypothesis is that di-glycosylated hFSH on rate is faster than tetra-glycosylated hFSH. The relationship of FSHR binding and steroidogenic activity will be compared. Our working hypothesis is that di-glycosylated hFSH will exhibit greater biological activity than predicted by its significatly higher receptor-binding activity. This project is centered around glycoforms readily identified by western blotting and lays the ground for future studies by contributing to the development of methods to rapidly characterize FSH glycosylation. A perimenopausal marker and more effective preparations for treating infertility are potential practical outcomes of this project.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"The student and I reviewed the last chapter (conic sections) and started this one - sequences and series. This chapter is fairly straightforward and he said made more sense than most of what he's done this semester."
"We discussed the concept of limits, and we did some advanced work with parabolas and composite functions. In Spanish, we discussed study skills, vocabulary, and the subjunctive tense."
"We first covered how to determine whether a function is odd or even, then went over a worksheet of practice problems. We went over how to find the average rate of change for a function over intervals, both for fixed and variable intervals. We also went over domain and range of functions, as well as finding zeroes, minima and maxima, and areas where a function is increasing or decreasing. We went over her homework problems. The student had a strong grasp of most of the material, so we skipped some of the problems she was confident about and instead filled in the gaps a bit. I feel like she showed improvement over the session, but for the most part she already had a decent grasp of most of the material."
"This was a pretty chill lesson! The student seems pretty on top of her material now, so we just have to stay that way! We were just doing all the most recent subjects, which is geometry, arc lengths and unit conversions."
"I had a good session with this student. We worked through a problem set about sampling distributions of differences of populations. We also discussed techniques for using the TI calculator to get to answers quickly. She did well."
"As the student missed class on Friday, I walked him through an introduction to limits. We talked about the concepts of one-sided limits, "the" limit of a function at a certain point, and various ways a limit can fail to exist. We also went over an in-class not-for-credit quiz that he had missed on Friday, which dealt with the behavior of rational functions."

It is no accident that the word has been totally demonized by our masters, and no one in politics dares even to use the word favorably, much less track any problem to its root."

Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 review
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f2.8 Pro is a high-end telephoto zoom for the Micro Four Thirds system - as such it'll work on any modern Panasonic or Olympus body. It was originally teased in September 2013 at the launch of the OMD EM1 and 12-40mm f2.8 Pro zoom, but took a whole year to finally come to market, officially being announced during Photokina in September 2014.
Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 Pro design and build quality
The first thing that strikes you about the M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 Pro is its compactness. It measures 79mm in diameter, is 160mm long and weighs 880g including its removable tripod collar. Take the collar off and the weight falls to 760g. I use f-stop backpacks and was impressed to find I could just about accommodate the 40-150mm standing up in one of the deep ICUs rather than lying it on its side.
As I've mentioned, the 40-150mm f2.8 Pro has a zoom collar for tripod mounting. It can be adjusted to any position by loosening the locking screw with your fingers, rotating the collar, then re-tightening it. You can also remove the collar altogether, but although this lightens the load by 120 grams I wouldn't recommend it. I found the tripod mount made an ideal handle for carrying the camera round even when shooting handheld.
When fitted to the OMD EM1, the camera and lens combination is beautifully balanced. It feels just right, not just when carrying it around but when you raise the camera to your eye and shift your left hand from the tripod mount to the zoom ring.
The 40-150mm f2.8 Pro is supplied with a lens hood which attaches to the front of the lens via the usual bayonet mount, but has a unique retracting design. Twist and push back and the hood retracts over the body of the lens reducing the overall length to the 160mm of the lens itself, very handy for stowing away in a bag or simply when you're not shooting and much more convenient than a reversible hood. To extend the hood you simply pull it back out until it locks into place - a clever idea.
I've mentioned how well balanced the M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 Pro feels when attached to the OMD EM1, the internal zoom mechanism means the the front of the lens doesn't extend when you turn the zoom ring, maintaining the same overall length and balance. The front element doesn't rotate when focusing so you can use a circular polarizer with ease. The lens has a 72mm filter thread.
While it's small and comparatively light the M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 Pro nonetheless feels like a solid piece of optical engineering. The zoom and focus rings have a textured finish that provides a secure comfortable grip and the motion of the zoom ring is super-smooth with enough resistance to maintain the set focal length without creeping if the lens is pointed up or down.
As on the M.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro, the focus ring can be used in one of two modes. A manual focus clutch mechanism is engaged by snapping the focus ring rearward, which also reveals a focus scale marked on the lens barrel. In this mode the lens is focused mechanically with physical stops at either end of the range. In the forward position the scale is obscured, you can still manually focus, as long as the camera is in MF mode, but turning the ring focuses by wire using the AF motors.
The M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 Pro is environmentally sealed with 11 separate seals to keep out dust and moisture making it splash-proof and dust-proof as well as freeze-proof. I used the 40-150mm on the Olympus OMD EM1 - a weather-sealed combination - during steady drizzle without complaint from either.
Before I move on to talk about the optics and focusing, just to note that like several other lenses in the Olympus range the 40-150mm f2.8 Pro has a L-fn function button on the barrel that can be assigned to one of a number of functions from the custom menu on the camera.
Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 Pro optics
The 40-150mm f2.8 Pro has an equivalent telephoto range of 80-300mm, longer than the more common 70-200mm range. It makes sense within the Olympus Micro Four thirds lens range though, as it picks up where the first Pro lens - the M.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro - leaves off. So if you have both of these lenses you've got the field covered from a 24mm wide angle up to a 300mm telephoto with a constant f2.8 aperture throughout, not to mention weather-proofing. Below you can see two shots showing the coverage from the same position.
Olympus also offers a 1.4x teleconverter especially for the 40-150mm which extends the reach to an equivalent of 421mm with a maximum aperture of f4. I've provided three samples with it in my gallery, but here's one as a preview. You can find the same shot taken without the teleconverter for comparison in my gallery and note the aperture selected delivered the best result in this instance.
The constant f2.8 aperture is maintained throughout the focal range, a very useful feature and not just for shooting in low light. The physical aperture diaphragm construction is composed of 9 blades which produce a circular shaped aperture that should result in pretty circular blob highlights for out of focus elements. At the other end of the range the minimum aperture is f22.
I wanted to see how the 40-150mm compared to two popular prime lenses for portraits, the 45mm f1.8 and 75mm f1.8. I started with the 45mm f1.8 wide-open at f1.8, then took a second shot from the same position with the 40-150mm adjusted to deliver the same coverage at its maximum aperture of f2.8. Below you can see these side by side, with a crop from each taking a closer look at the rendering of the specular highlights. It's clear even from the reduced image size that the 45mm f1.8 is delivering a much shallower depth of field with larger 'bokeh blobs'. The crops also reveal the blobs to cleaner shapes, whereas the 40-150mm blobs show some visible onion-ringing. But the contrast is higher on the 40-150mm version.
Next I switched to the 75mm f1.8, another popular portrait option for Micro Four Thirds and another of my favourite lenses. As before I framed the shot with the 75mm, then repeated with the 40-150mm from the same position, adjusted to deliver the same field of view. As you'd expect from the longer focal length, the background details are enlarged, including the bokeh blobs, and again the prime lens with its brighter focal ratio delivers a shallower depth of field. Similarly to the previous comparison, you'll again see more evidence of onion-ringing from the 40-150mm compared to the 75mm due to its optical construction, although again the zoom delivers a higher contrast image when the aperture on both is wide-open.
That's the end of my zoom versus prime portrait examples, but not the end of the story, as the 40-150mm of course can extend much further. So here's one final example, taken with the 40-150mm at 150mm f2.8, with a crop of the background alongside. The longer focal length has delivered an even tighter view of the background, allowing you to be very selective about what appears in it (so none of the walls or doors of the earlier shots). The bokeh blobs are also larger, although still not on the scale of the 75mm f1.8 example above. You'll also notice much more squashed oval shapes towards the edges of the frame, and there's still evidence of onion-ringing inside. I should also note framing a portrait at 300mm equivalent is not the easiest thing to achieve as you'll be positioned quite far from your subject, but the example below does at least show the 40-150mm can deliver significant blurring if that's the thing you desire.
Apart from the maximum aperture another factor that affects depth of field is of course the distance to your subject. The 40-150mm f2.8 Pro boasts a closest focus distance of 70cm. That's fairly close in practice and the distance remains the same regardless of the focal length - so at 150mm, it's possible to fill the frame with fairly small subjects. Here's a shot approaching the closest focusing distance, and lower on the page I have another at the closest distance.
Being able to shoot at close range also allows you to achieve some interesting depth of field effects. You can see above how the lens handles a close subject in daylight, but I wanted to have some fun after dark with specular highlights, so below are two shots taken at 40 and 150mm at the maximum f2.8 aperture and the closest focusing distance. The bokeh blobs are from Christmas lights hanging across the street.
The 40-150mm f2.8 Pro is the first Olympus lens to feature dual VCM auto focus. The idea is that AF performance can be improved by separating the focusing mechanism into two lens groups controlled by individual linear drive voice coil motors. This and the absence of gears, claims Olympus, makes the focussing performance lightning fast and very smooth.
When Ken first tested the 40-150mm at the Cheltenham races, he had mixed experiences. For many shots, the 40-150mm locked-onto subjects quickly and without fuss, but for others it struggled, especially with faces in lower light conditions. As light levels reduced further, the lens suffered from more losses. To put it in perspective, it wasn't bad, but equally it wasn't the high hit rate we've come to enjoy and expect from top-end Micro Four Thirds gear. Was it an issue with the lens, or simply the longer than average focal length?
This was however a brief one-day test. Since then I've had a chance to shoot with the 40-150mm for a solid month (this is Gordon speaking!). During this time, Olympus released firmware version 2.2 for the OMD EM1 which, amongst other things, promised greater focusing accuracy with the 40-150mm lens.
This gave me a chance to perform before and after tests, and I'm pleased to report a visible improvement. With the older firmware, I experienced the mixed bag Ken initially described. Sometimes the combination performed brilliantly, but at other times lacked confidence and could hunt back and forth. After updating the EM1 firmware though, the 40-150mm felt a little faster and more confident overall. Most subjects snapped-into focus more easily than before in Single AF modes, and upon examination the subjects were sharp at 100%.
Inevitably as light levels or general contrast decreased, the lens / AF system found it harder to lock-on. At close range with the lens zoomed-in, you also have a shallower depth of field to deal with than most lenses in the Micro Four Thirds system, so it's not surprising to experience more hunting when the going gets tough. But I would say there was a still visible improvement running the 2.2 firmware compared to before.
That said, it is important to say what the lens, or perhaps more fairly, the system can and can't do. Mount the 40-150mm on an OMD EM1 and you'll enjoy quick focusing on static subjects. This makes it great for portraits, landscapes or urban work. As I've said many times before though, continuous autofocus remains an Achilles' Heel for Olympus and I know many people will be considering this lens for sports or action photography. You may enjoy more success than I did, but I failed to capture any convincing sequences of subjects approaching me at speed, whether birds, cyclists or kids running around. If the action is distant then you will get a few in focus, but if it approaches close enough to fill the frame you may become frustrated.
All Olympus Micro Four Thirds bodies employ built-in stabilisation with the most sophisticated five-axis system employed on the OMD EM1. To test the EM1's built-in stabilisation with the M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 Pro I took a series of shots in Shutter Priority mode at progressively slower shutter speeds with the stabilisation turned of and then enabled. As you can see from the 100 percent crops below, with stabilisation enabled you can shoot handheld with the 40-150mm f2.8 down to 1/20th, that's nearly four stops of stabilisation. I actually managed to get a reasonably sharp result at 1/10, but not consistently and to be reasonably sure I'd draw the line at 1/20th.
Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 Pro Image quality
For the next section of my review I've picked out a selection of images I shot over the course of the day at Cheltenham race course. All shots are JPEGs straight out of the cameras with no modification - you can download any of them via Flickr by clicking the desired image. On the results page you'll see processed RAW files, and on the gallery page you'll see a selection of additional images shot by Gordon.
This first image above was taken with the 40-150mm f2.8 at its maximum telephoto focal length and with the aperture wide open at f2.8. The shooting mode was set to continuous low with the auto focus set to continuous. I selected the central AF point and tried to keep the rider in the red and blue silks in the center of the frame. This is the eighth frame of a ten-frame sequence, exactly half of which (the first frame and the final four) were sharp on the subject in the AF frame.
I've included this second image really just to show the shallowness of the depth of field with a reasonably close subject and the pleasant bokeh produced by the 40-150mm's circular aperture diaphragm. This time the AF has nailed it with good sharp detail in the face.
When it gets it right the 40-150mm f2.8 produces stunningly sharp detail. This time set to S-AF mode with the light fading, but still bright enough to shoot wide open at 200 ISO with the stabilisation enabled.
The 40-150mm f2.8 has a closest focus distance of 70cm. That's constant regardless of the focal length so you can get close in at 150mm to produce very shallow depth of field shots.
Finally, here's a more conventional portrait shot taken under room lighting at 80mm. At this focal length even at f2.8 the 40-150mm doesn't quite throw the background out far enough to avoid it being a distraction. If you anticipate shooting a lot of portraits at around 40mm and want a shallower depth of field, you'll be better off with the Olympus 45mm f1.8 prime.
You can check out a more detailed look at the sharpness at different apertures in my Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 quality section, browse these and more samples in my Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 sample images page, or head over to my verdict.

An Arduino VU meter for classroomsFriday, September 23rd, 2016
With his beautifully-colored classroom "noise-o-meter," Mr. Jones knows when things are getting out of hand.
When you were in school (or if you are in school) the teacher likely told the class to be quiet, perhaps repeating him or herself over an over during the day. The teacher, however, likely never really defined what is good and bad. Mr. Jones has finally solved this issue by creating a classroom "noise-o-meter" using an Arduino, an electret microphone, and a programmable LED strip. In order (apparently) too keep the class in line, noise is simply marked as green for "expected," amber for "louder," and "red" for too loud which corresponds nicely with more "traditional" VU meters.

Bought it with the intention of making a dress but for a long time I couldn't make up my mind what pattern to use and then I remembered this and I am pleased with my choice.

The Wisconsin State Journal and The Sun of San Bernardino had backed Bush in 2004. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called Obama's opponent, John McCain, "the incredible shrinking man" who had made a horrific pick for his running mate.
Backing Obama: In Ohio, The Blade in Toledo and the Dayton Daily News; the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Tennessean of Nashville, the Wisconsin State Journal. the Asheville (N.C.) Citizen-Times, and in California the Fresno Bee, Sacramento Bee, Contra Costa Times, The Herald of Monterrey, and The Sun of San Bernardino (which had picked Bush over Kerry).

South Africa Wins Quarantine Approval for Indonesia Fruit Exportby
Potential size of market is $17 million, industry body says
Nation sent 50 containers of pears worth 22 million rand
South Africa won quarantine approval to sell more deciduous fruits and nuts to Indonesia, increasing the export potential for its produce to the world's fourth most-populous nation, industry body Hortgro said.
Southeast Asia's largest economy granted recognition of South Africa's food-safety control system on April 11, which enables easier access to Indonesia for 15 types of fruit and nuts including apples, grapes, oranges and plums, Hortgro said in a statement Wednesday. The produce can also be sent to the port of Jakarta, which will motivate exporters to increase volumes to that market, Executive Director Anton Rabe said in a separate statement.
"The market will have to be developed over a period of time and could potentially be worth about 250 million rand over the next three to four years," Rabe said.
South Africa has sold 50 containers of pears valued at 22 million rand ($1.5 million), Rabe said.
The World Bank forecasts that the economy of Indonesia, which has a population of about 255 million people, will expand 5.1 percent this year after growing 4.8 percent in 2015.
South Africa is working on getting access to China for its pears and plums, and wants to send both types of fruits as well as apples to Thailand, Rabe said.
The U.K. is the top export destination for South African nectarines, buying 58 percent, with the Middle East purchasing 42 percent of peaches exported, said Jacques du Preez, general manager for trade and markets at Hortgro. The European Union and Russia take up about 49 percent for plums.
