text:
Ekron (in ebraico: עֶקְרוֹן, ʿeqrōn, traslitterato in epoca ellenica come Accaron; odierna Tel Miqne), é un città-stato facente parte dellaPentapoli filistea, situata nella parte sud-occidentale di Canaan. Ekron si trova 35 chilometri ad ovest di Gerusalemme, e 18 a nord dell'antica Gath, sul confine orientale della pianura costiera israeliana.

Storia
Il sito di Tel Miqne fu relativamente occupato a partire dall'età del rame e fino all'inizio dell'età del bronzo. Dopo un salto di 400 anni durante i quali fu abitato solo il tel superiore, la città subì una grande espansione attorno al 1600 a.C., con i Canaaniti.

La città Canaanita si ridusse negli anni prima che il suo principale edificio pubblico si incendiasse nel XIII secolo a.C., durante il collasso dell'età del bronzo, un periodo di generale devastazione associata ai popoli del Mare. Fu ricostruita dai filistei all'inizio dell'età del ferro, attorno al XII secolo a.C. Durante l'età del ferro Ekron fu una città di frontiera al confine tra Filistea e Regno di Giuda.

Anche le registrazioni dell'impero neo-assiro fanno riferimento ad Ekron. L'assedio di Ekron del 712 a.C. è raccontato nei bassorilievi di uno dei muri di Sargon II, nel suo palazzo a Dur-Sharrukin. Ekron si rivoltò contro Sennacherib e cacciò Padi, suo governatore, che era stato inviato da Ezechia, a Gerusalemme, per mantenere la pace. Sennacherib marciò su Ekron e gli Ekroniti chiesero aiuto al re di Mutsri. Sennacherib si allontanò per sconfiggerne l'esercito, cosa che fece a Eltekeh, fece quindi ritorno e conquistò la città, mettendo a morte i capi della rivolta ed imprigionando i loro seguaci. Questa operazione portò al famoso attacco di Sennacherib ad Hezekiah e Gerusalemme, in cui Sennacherib obbligò Ezechia a rimettere al suo posto Padi, rinominato governatore di Ekron. Ashdod e Ekron sopravvissero e divennero potenti città-stato che dominarono l'Assiria nel VII secolo a.C. La città potrebbe essere stata distrutta dal re neo-babilonese Nebuchadnezzer II tra il 604 a.C. ed il 562 a.C., ma viene citata, come "Accaron", anche nel Primo libro dei Maccabei (10:89) (II secolo a.C.).
Un centro di produzione di olio d'oliva risalente al VII secolo a.C. è stato scoperto ad Ekron, con oltre cento grandi macine per le olive, e rappresenta il più grande centro simile dell'antichità mai scoperto. LA scoperta indica che la produzione di olio d'oliva era altamente sviluppata nell'antica Israele, e che questo era un grande produttore anche per i paesi vicini, quali Egitto e Mesopotamia.

Identificazione con Tel Miqne
Robinson identificò il villaggio arabo di Aqir come il sito di Ekron nel 1838, e questa ipotesi fu accettata finché non fu contestata da Macalister nel 1913, che suggerì Khirbet Dikerin, e da Albright nel 1922, che suggerì Qatra. L'identificazione di Ekron con Tel Mikne (Tel Miqne, Khirbet Muqanna) fu suggerita da Naveh e Kallai nel 1957–1958, e fu una teoria ampiamente accettata alla luce di un'iscrizione dedicata ad un re trovata durante gli scavi del 1996.

Riferimenti biblici
Ekron viene citata in Giosuè :

Giosuè  la elenca come città confinante dei Filistei e sede di uno dei cinque principi dei Filistei, e Giosuè  cita città e villaggi satelliti di Ekron. La città in seguito fu riassegnata alla tribù dei Dan (Giosuè ), ma tornò poi in possesso dei Filistei. Fu l'ultimo posto in cui i Filistei portarono l'Arca dell'Alleanza prima di rimandarla in Israele (Samuele 1  e Samuele 1 ).

C'era un famoso santuario di Baal ad Ekron. Il Baal adorato era chiamato Baal Zebul, che alcuni studiosi collegano a Beelzebub, noto nella bibbia ebraica (Re 2 ):

Archeologia
Ekron fu scavata per quattordici anni tra il 1981 ed il 1996 da una squadra della American Schools of Oriental Research e della Israel Exploration Society guidata da Trude Dothan e Seymour Gitin.

Il tumulo di Tel Miqne ha un tell superiore di 4 ettari, ed uno inferiore che è variato dai 16 ai 26 nel corso della storia.

Gli scavi del 1996 nel complesso del tempio a Tel Miqne portarono alla luce importanti artefatti per l'archeologia biblica, un'iscrizione di un re di Ekron del VII secolo a.C., Achis. Non solo l'iscrizione permette di identificare con sicurezza il sito, ma fornisce una breve lista di re di Ekron, di padre in figlio:  Ya'ir, Ada, Yasid, Padi, 'Akish.

Di interesse più che locale è il destinatario dell'iscrizione, "Divina Signora di Akish. Possa lei benedirlo, e proteggerlo, e prolungare i suoi giorni, e benedire le sue terre". Il nome o il titolo della Signora di Ekron è Ptgyh o Ptnyh. Aaron Demsky (Demsky 1997) legge il nome come Ptnyh e lo collega al titolo di Potnia Theron(Signora degli Animali) che apparteneva alla Grande Dea dell'Egeo, nelle sue varie manifestazioni locali, che comprendono i siti micenei.

Currently the centre is empty and up for rent.
We were given notice to quit and left last December – more details here.
The toilets were replaced before we left – and are now connected to the mains.
The willow work, when last seen, was suffering from lack of maintenance.
The Ecocentre is the base for care farm activities on the farm and is designed with sustainability in mind.
The walls of the main room are lime-rendered straw bales on three sides and a rammed clay wall on the fourth. The front room, which serves as a reception area and kitchenette, is triple-glazed, allowing the sun to warm the earth wall. This then acts as a storage heater. Sometimes in summer you can understand what an orchid feels like, because it can get a bit overpowering.
In winter the walls provide first class insulation which allows the underfloor heating (powered by the four panels on the front wall) to do its work. Today (mid December) it is holding 23 degrees C against an outside temperature of 6 degrees. A couple of weeks ago it was 3 outside and 18 inside. The down side is that you rely on people keeping the doors closed otherwise it can get cold very quickly.
The panels also provide hot water.
The roof is covered in sedum, which gives a decent level of insulation. It's actually the second roof we have had as the first one blew off one day. One minute we had a newish, complete sedum roof, next minute we were standing in a hail of grit as large portions of it blew off. Looking on the bright side, we were given a replacement by the suppliers and we have lots of ground cover plants in the flower beds.
This is the sedum that used to be on the roof – not quite sure what species it is apart from being a stonecrop.
These are some pictures of our willow structures requested by a reader from San Diego, California. He's just going through his fourth year of record-breaking drought while I'm having to apologise for picture quality on account of the rain. Irony, eh?
They are made by the Shipshape Arts team who work out of the farm barns and who are responsible for the green figures you see in my header, the "tree" we use for the activity tent and a number of other things.
It's early June as I write and they are ready for their annual re-weave and trim. When tidy the dome and arch are about 9 feet high and the hedge is about 6 feet. The arch is on an area where the soil is only about four inches deep – it took quite a bit of watering initially but is OK now – we just give it a feed once a year when it starts to flag. The arch and hedge don't need any additional attention.
That's the arch – the black thing is a bin.
Sorry you lost your Ecocentre – it sounded wonderful.
It was, but Julia is now running another garden so it's all worked out nicely.
What a waste of a good centre! I hope a purchaser is found soon.
It would be nice to see it back in community use.
Looks like a very interesting way to build. Looks substantial and not ready to be blown down!
It's solid, it's warm and it's a great place to work! However, we do have to patch the outside corners each year – weight of the roof pushes the straw walls down.
Sounds great. The oldest part of our house is mud and stone but the rest is the darling with Local Spanish builders…concrete. We even struggled with wanting a wooden roof.
I suspect the mud and stone will still be there after the concrete crumbles.
Good point but hope I'm not around to see it!
What a beautiful spot you've got going over there! Thank you so much for posting the willow structures on my behalf!!
I am inspired to build one of my own. I've read that willow is insanely easy to root and I can get clones from my existing young tree. Have you ever heard of making willow water as a rooting compound? I'd like to try that as well.
This is one of the main reasons I love writing Mind Your Dirt, the sharing of ideas with other souls that have the same passion as I do. It's so meaningful to me. Thank you kindly for posting photos! Oh, and if you have some extra rain to spare, perhaps you can mail some my way! My rain dances aren't effective at all, unless you consider odd looks from the neighbors. Cheers!
No, bit I'm going to look up "willow water" on Google in a moment.
That's another good thing about blogging – all the education!
Essentially you take willow twigs, cut them into 4 inch sections and place them in a mason jar and fill it with water. In about a day, you'll have a liquid rooting compound that you can use on any plant.
Famous last words. Maybe the willows will become our new overlords and that's why there been weeping all this time. Tears of menace and destruction!
I think it's prudent to keep one eye on them. Just to be safe.
Thanks for the comment. Try this link for more details.
That really is fascinating, and I'm going to have to come back here a few times to get the rest of the story. I worked in construction quite a long time, and this building method is truly new to me. Like I said, it's fascinating.


Sony however has a history to go out at the annual announcement at IFA event but we can expect it to have set something different this season with its Z5 family. After the overheating incidence with its last flagship phone, the manufacturer wanted to move the attention of its fans from the incident. So, it used the new Z5 Premium with its 4K display for the trick.
However, only a few days after the phone was made official the first accusations started coming out that the phone isn't 100% sincere about its 4K resolution. When checked thoroughly, it was found that all the 8 million or so pixels are present there but still the user interface of the device was using them to display the appropriate UHD media and otherwise running at 1080 pixels resolution.
Well, the mystery is solved with a per need 4K being the best way to go around. Sony has used a 5.5 inch UHD display in this smartphone which it believes to be a wild concept on its part, but the OEM had to be careful and should not go overboard with it. The pixels might be available there but the Snapdragon 810 chipset inside the device along with the Adreno 430 graphics processor isn't really designed to constantly work with such resolution.
On the other hand, the silicon is capable of playing safe with the content but doing it all the time can overheat the phone and can put a major effect on the battery. Sony can't afford either for some obvious reasons and the Z5 Premium on the other hand is marketed as having upto 2 days of battery life like its siblings Z5 and Z5 compact.

Living In Massena
Ideal Cross-Border for Business
Ideal Cross-Border Location for Business
Strategically located in northern New York State, Massena sits on the banks of the mighty St. Lawrence River and the International Seaway shipping channel, with access to the ports of the Great Lakes. Because we are located less than 10 miles from the Canadian border, we are ideally situated for cross border trading. Massena is also the gateway to the majestic Adirondack Mountain playground and the Lake Placid Olympic Region. In less than 90 minutes, you can drive from Massena to Montreal or Ottawa in Canada.
Massena has long been the industrial center in the northern New York region and its largest manufacturing employer for over 100 years. Until recently, it was home to General Motors-Central Foundry, which closed in 2009, a victim of the sagging automobile market. However, Reynolds Metals, another longtime Massena employer, merged with Alcoa-Massena Operations in 2000. Alcoa, the world's largest aluminum producer, has been here since 1902 and is currently in the engineering phase of a state-of- the-art $600 million modernization to its local facilities.
In addition to the large scale industrial presence in Massena, we are also host to several small- to medium-sized manufacturing operations, including those located at the Massena Industrial Park.
The Massena Industrial Park is a 55 acre fully-serviced subdivision zoned for light, medium and heavy industrial use. The park, owned by the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena, is located on the south side of the village and is bounded on the east side by South Main Street (NYS Rt. 420). Park infrastructure includes 8- and 10-inch water mains, 8-inch sewer mains, and a full-loop road accessing all lots. Natural gas services both residential and commercial users in the Massena area.
The Massena Terminal Railroad (MSTR) is a terminal switching railroad that was incorporated in 1900 and located adjacent to the Massena Industrial Park. Operated by Genesee & Wyoming Inc, it interchanges with the CSXT. Main commodities shipped by customers on the MSTR include alumina, petroleum coke, electrode binder pitch, aluminum ingot and rolled paper.
Services provided to customers at the Massena Terminal Railroad include intraplant switching, track maintenance, car weighing, loading and repair along with traffic coordination. The Massena Terminal Railroad maintains a certified AAR car repair shop.
The Massena Terminal Railroad location features warehouse space (some of which is heated) which is ideally suited for staging product into and out of Canada. There is also 140 acres of land available for industrial development within a three mile radius of the Massena airport.
Curran Renewable Energy, located in the Massena Industrial Park is a great example of the businesses who have had success here.

Paul Baloche is one of those whose music I'd always loved but never knew him by name.
I only knew his songs whether sung by him or someone else, that is until about 8 years ago. Since then, Paul has been one of my "go to's" for worship. His songs are honest and easy to sing and "most times" easy for me to play. HA!!
Who doesn't remember "Open The Eyes of My Heart" or "Above All," written with Lenny LeBlanc or "Hosanna?" These are all great songs! I can't be sure of this, but I would venture to guess that Paul's songs, whether written by just him or with others, are probably the most songs heard, during a worship service in churches around the world or small groups, etc.
What I find amazing about Paul Baloche, is that he is not stingy with his songs "i-ther." : ) He is quick to share his tips and tricks in workshops, worship magazines, DVD's or his website. Allowing a sometime simple worship leader like me to play these songs like a pro.
"The Same Love," is definitely a album of hope. When I think of my loved ones going through battles of various kinds, this album is a comfort.
Several songs have particularly touched me.
The first one; "Just Say," with The Brothers McClurg and written by Paul and Chris & Anthony Hoisington.
You will be my ark that floats me up above the storm."
"Hear my humble prayer help my unbelief"
These words couldn't be more true in my own life.
Especially when I feel that I've failed the Lord and all I want to do is say to Him. . .
I can feel that pleading and almost begging tone in the lyrics. Like the woman who suffered her malady for over 10 years and all she wanted to do was touch the hem of Jesus' garment. I can feel that!!!
I'm curious as to what the inspiration was for this song.
In my opinion, this is a a very tender song of love and acceptance.
I also have to say at the bridge, I love that little jazzy piano groove going on. Nice! Love that there is just the right amount of instruments in this and the finality of the piano chord. . . Yes, very nice.
"Your Blood Ran Down" at first listening, was my least favorite, with it's repeat of "Your blood ran down" about 8 times. But then, one day, I listened to it again and was in awe by those lyrics. . .to know that His "blood ran down for me" is very humbling.
This is a very, very beautiful and simple piece. I could see this in a soundtrack.
And maybe the reason I think this, is because Paul wrote this after seeing "The Passion of The Christ." In a video talking about this song, Paul referred to Romans where it says, God demonstrated His love for us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He said he had to get this on an album.
I'm so glad he did. Thank you, Paul.
I love the lyrics of "My Hope. . ."
Several of my family members are going through what these lyrics describe.
And this seems to be their mantra. . . "I'm hanging on to You!"
Powerful lyrics, and with Kathryn Scott's vocals, it really make this song complete.
Songwriter; Ed Kerr, talks about writing "My Hope," having Paul listen to it, tweak it and putting it on the album. And as you know, I love the background of a great song!! Paul also talks about "My Hope" here.
Look Upon The Lord is like Isaiah standing in the presence of the Lord. Kari Jobe's voice is so angelic, I can see the seraphim and cherabim near by! And I have to say, I would love to see my 17 year old daughter sing this with her worship team. What a gorgeous tune!
Grammy award winning engineer; Chris Lord-Alge worked on this album. You might know his work on U2's Beautiful Day, Switchfoot's "The Beautiful Letdown" and "Nothing Is Sound" as well as others. But for me, I love the fact that he worked on Chaka Khan's 1986 release of "Destiny" which my friend Tony Patler, was co-writer, musical director and keyboardist.
Congratulations to Paul Baloche for celebrating 20 years with a solid worship album.

I wanted to create a logger that writes either to a file, or to the System.Diagnostics.Trace. To my astonishment, I found that .NET class library does not have a TextWriter implementation that writes to the System.Diagnostics.Trace. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to create.

I. The problem

Oh, t is large and p is small

That's why we are walking tall.

What it means we need not mull

Just so we reject the null.

Or chi-square large and p near nil

Results like that, they fill the bill.

What if meaning requires a poll?

Never mind, we're on a roll!

The message we have learned too well?

Significance! That rings the bell!

II. The implications

The moral of our little tale?

That we mortals may be frail

When we feel a p near zero

Makes us out to be a hero.

But tell us then is it too late?

Can we perhaps avoid our fate?

Replace that wish to null-reject

Report the size of the effect.

That may not insure our glory

But at least it tells a story

That is just the kind of yield

Needed to advance our field.

Robert Rosenthal, 1991

Fujifilm FinePix S1 Review
February 27, 2014 | Mark Goldstein | Rating star Rating star Rating star Rating star
Rating & Conclusion
Main Rivals
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 is the world's first weather-resistant bridge camera. Looking and handling very much like a DSLR, the Fujifilm S1 can safely be used in wet weather or dusty conditions thanks to sealing on approximately 70 areas of the camera. The S1 boasts a 50x zoom lens which covers a 35mm equivalent focal range of 24-1200mm and features 3-stop lens-shift image stabilisation and manual zoom controls. Other highlights of the Fujifilm S1 include a 1/2.3-inch 16.4 megapixel backlit CMOS sensor, a 3-inch vari-angle 920k-dot LCD monitor, 920k-dot electronic viewfinder, and full 1080p HD movie recording at up to 60fps with stereo sound and 5-Axial image stabilisation. In addition there's an ISO range of 100-12800, built-in wi-fi connectivity, continuous shooting at 10fps, interval shooting function, High Speed movie capture at 480fps, Focus Peak Highlight function, a customisable Function button, full manual controls and support for the RAW file format. The Fujifilm FinePix S1 is available now for £399.99 / $499.99 in the UK / US respectively.
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 looks and handles very much like a mid-range DSLR. Designed as a do-it-all, all-in-one solution for the enthusiast, the Fujifilm FinePix S1 is more than weighty and well built enough to withstand a few glancing knocks in the heat of the action. The moulded curves of the body and rubberized matt black finish deliver a purposeful look that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is practical, with nice chunky controls, an ergonomic control layout that allows both quick and easy access to functions, and a deep hand-grip with a well-thought-out indentation into which a middle finger slots comfortably. The S1 is the first weather-proof super-zoom camera in the world, with 70 points of weather sealing offering dust-resistance and water-resistance.
At the heart of the S1 is an incredible non-interchangeable 50x zoom lens. This incredibly versatile lens offers a focal range starting at an ultra-wide 24mm and finishing at an ultra-telephoto 1200mm, which, as Fujifilm cannily point out, would take at least two super-zoom DSLR lenses to offer similar reach. Throw in the 1cm Super Macro Mode and impressive maximum apertures of a bright f/2.8 at 24mm wide-angle to a slightly slower f5.6 at 1200mm telephoto, and it's clear that the S1 is perfectly suited for any subject that you can think of, near or far.
To help avoid blur resulting from camera shake when shooting in low light or hand-holding the camera at the telephoto extremity of the zoom, Fujifilm have added a 'belt and braces' solution of high ISO sensitivity, stretching up to ISO 12,800 at full resolution (Small JPEG only), a built-in mechanical stabilizer with Continuous or Shooting Only modes, and digital image stabilisation too if required. Activated via the IS Mode menu option, you can set the system to Continuous, Shooting Only, either mode with the addition of digital stabilisation, or Off. Note that the camera will only automatically adjust the ISO speed when using the Auto shooting mode - in the other modes the ISO speed that you select will always be used, so only the mechanical sensor-shift part of the system is used.
From the front the Fujifilm S1 looks like a serious bit of kit. The large optically stabilised zoom lens dominates proceedings, with a push-on lens cap, retaining strap and petal-shaped lens hood provided in the box. Above the lens and extending out across the lens barrel, which boasts a textured surround allowing you to get a good firm grip, is a sloping ridge that conceals the pop-up flash (when not in use), which is activated via a dedicated button positioned on the right. Still viewing the S1 from the front, the stereo sound speakers are positioned just behind the pop-up flash. There's a familiar dual purpose AF-assist illuminator and self-timer lamp to the left of the lens, and located on the right are two clever controls that make zooming with the massive 50x lens more intuitive. Above the pop-up flash is another DSLR-like touch - a hotshoe for additional illumination via an optional external flashgun.
Front Rear
The S1 has a a side lever that allows you to smoothly operate the zoom with your left hand, leaving your right hand free to operate the shutter button. You can also assign one of two levels of zoom speed to this lever, with the fastest zooming in/out in just two seconds. Above the size zoom lever is a button which zooms back out slightly to allow you to see more of your subject, useful if you're trying to track a moving object that has left the frame.
Looking down on top of the Fujifilm FinePix S1 when viewed from the rear, there's a clearly labeled and logically laid out control set. Press the slightly recessed On/Off button to turn the Fujifilm FinePix on, and the rear LCD or electronic viewfinder – depending on which one you previously had selected – blinks into life, a process taking around half a second, as good as most DSLRs. The Fujifilm FinePix S1 is quick to determine focus and exposure with a half press of the shutter button, only taking 0.16 seconds to lock onto the subject in ideal lighting conditions. Both JPEGs and RAW files are quickly committed to SD / SDHC / SDXC memory in single-shot mode with only the briefest pause between each one.
The S1 has a chunky, ridged shooting mode dial which is reminiscent of those found on, yes you've guessed it, DSLR cameras. Ranged around the dial, which turns with just the right amount of resistance for it to lock firmly into place at each setting, are the expected shooting options, such as full auto, program, shutter priority, aperture priority and manual modes, along with a customizable mode via which favoured shooting settings can be saved for rapid access, plus a scene position mode that's pre-optimised for common subjects.
In addition, there are several more shooting modes that are particularly noteworthy. First up is the SR Auto mode, which is an 'auto everything' scene recognition mode. Although far from infallible - if you're not paying close attention and it's presented with a busy scene it will call up landscape when macro is needed and vice versa – it instantly makes the S1 more beginner friendly, automatically recognising 10 basic scenes and applying the right mode.
Tilting LCD Screen Side
Next is the rather misleadingly named Advanced mode, which actually has four options that are well suited to all experience levels. The first shooting mode is the Advanced Filter, which as the name suggests houses a range of artistic filters that can be applied to your photos as you take them. The Pro Low-light mode uses multi-bracketing technology, taking a series of four high sensitivity/low-noise shots in quick succession and combining them into an image with less noise than the single exposures. In the HDR advanced mode the Fujifilm FinePix S1 can combine three seperate images into one with greater dynamic range. The Natural Flash mode takes one shot with flash and one without at the same time, while the Zoom Bracketing mode takes three shots with a single press of the shutter button, at varying degrees of magnification (original, 1.4x and 2.0x).
The final shooting mode on the top dial is the Panorama option, clearly inspired by Sony's popular Sweep Panorama function. This lets you capture a 120, 180 or 360 degree panoramic image very easily without the use of a tripod. All you need to decide is whether you would like to start from left or right, top or bottom, then press and hold down the shutter release while doing a "sweep" with the camera in hand. Exposure compensation is available before you start the sweep, with the exposure fixed once you depress the shutter button. After you are done with the sweeping, the camera does all the processing required, and presents you with a finished panoramic image.
Although undoubtedly fun, there are a few catches. The final panorama is of relatively low resolution, and if you do the sweeping too slowly, or you let go of the shutter release button too early, the panorama will be truncated. If the exposure varies throughout the scene, then some areas will be over or under exposed, depending upon the exposure value that was chosen as the panorama was started. Finally, people and indeed anything that moves in the frame are recorded as several ghost outlines, which means that you can really only record static, empty scenes, something that Sony have solved in the latest iteration of their Sweep Panorama feature.
Below the shooting mode dial is a smaller command dial with a positive clicking action which is used for scrolling through features and captured images, and will feel immediately intuitive to anyone who has handled a DSLR before. The same dial is also used to change the aperture and shutter speed when using the more advanced shooting modes. In the Manual mode, you hold the Exposure Compensation button down with your forefinger and give the dial a flick with your thumb to change the aperture, not as intuitive as having two separate command dials but perhaps understandable given the S1's target audience. Otherwise the exposure compensation button works largely as you'd expect, with a visual slider graph on screen accompanied by a live histogram.
Pop-up Flash Top
Next to the EV button is the rather innocent-looking Continuous Shooting button, which accesses another of the S1's mouth-watering features. Pressing this button brings up six options - Off, Continuous H, Continuous M, Continuous L, Best Frame Capture and AE bracketing. The Continuous H option shoots at 10fps for 9 frames at full resolution. Once the burst is completed, it takes just over four seconds for the camera to clear the buffer, during which you cannot take another picture. Forward of these two controls is the main shutter release button encircled by a responsive zoom lever.
Manual focusing is activated by setting the Focus Mode menu option to Manual and using the rear command dial to set the distance, with the LCD display automatically zooming in on the subject to help you judge the sharpness. There's a handy distance scale along the bottom of the LCD screen with a white bar indicating the the focusing distance. The S1 also offers a Focus Peak Highlight function with High and Low settings, which displays a white line around the subject when it's in focus. This addition makes manual focusing on the S1 much more of a pleasure than a chore.
Moving to the rear of the Fujifilm FinePix S1, your attention is immediately drawn to the large 3-inch monitor, which offers 100% scene coverage and a respectable resolution of 920K dots. The S1's LCD screen is a vari-angle model that can be flipped-out to the side and tilted through 270 degrees, giving you a lot of flexibility in composing your shots, and well-suited to shooting video.
Above the LCD screen is a small button for swapping the display between monitor and the 920k-dot resolution electronic viewfinder, complete with 100% scene coverage and surrounding eyecup. The EVF also has its own dioptric correction wheel to its immediate left, which is far less stiff and physically larger than found on competing models, meaning that for the myopic adjustment can be made in a fraction of a second. The viewfinder display is large, bright and clear, though the temptation to predominantly utilise the more flexible LCD below is almost overwhelming.
To the right of the Fujifilm FinePix S1's LCD screen again is the one-touch movie record button. The S1's full 50x zoom range be accessed in the Motion JPEG format movie mode, with the S1 offering full 1920x1080 pixel footage at up to 60 frames per second with constantly adjusting auto exposure and auto-focus with stereo sound. You can also manually focus during movie shooting. It can record video clips up to 29 minutes long for the 1920x1080 and 1280x720 pixel formats, with longer times available for VGA and SVGA modes. The dedicated Movie button on the rear makes it quick and easy to shoot a movie without missing the start of the action, and there's a mini-HDMI port for connection to a HDTV (cable not supplied). You can select one of the Film Simulation or Advanced Filter modes to give your footage a more creative look, and there's the option to take a still photo at any time during movie recording.

In addition to these "normal" movie modes, the S1 also offers several high-speed modes. There are three different speeds on offer - 480, 240 and 120fps, with the file size varying from 320x112 to 640x480 pixels. This slow-motion effect is initially very appealing and sure to impress your friends, but there are some drawbacks to be aware of. Sound isn't recorded at all, horizontal bands can appear as the lighting fluctuates, and the actual sizes of the recorded movies are pretty small.
Underneath that a self-explanatory playback button for quickly viewing captured images. Below that is a familiar four-way controller with a dual-purpose menu/OK button at its centre. Ranged at north, south, east and west around this control are variously, the customisable Function button which can be set to one of 10 key options (also doubling up as a file deletion button when in playback mode), the various flash modes, the self timer options, and shifting focus from infinity to either macro or super macro.
Press the Menu button in the shooting mode and you get a comprehensive choice of options from two main folders, Shooting and Set-Up, with up to 6 screens containing 6 icons per screen. Most of the options are the "set once and forget" kind, so you won't have to dip into the menu system too often. Below the navigation pad is a dual-purpose control marked Display/Back that switches between the various LCD modes and also allows you to retrace your steps at any point.
Completing the rear of the S1 is the new wi-fi button. Install the FUJIFILM Camera Remote App and you can transfer your pictures immediately to a smartphone or tablet PC and then edit and share them as you wish, transfer stills and video onto the camera, and embed GPS information in your shots from your smartphone. You can also control the camera remotely, with the list of available functions including the shutter release for stills and movies and operating the zoom lens. The built-in wi-fi also provides a simple means to backup your photos to your home PC.
The right hand flank of the Fujifilm FinePix S1 features a chunky rubber flap hiding the S1's mini-HDMI port and the regular USB / AV out sockets. The base of the Fujifilm FinePix S1 features a screw thread for a tripod, sadly made of plastic and not in line with the lens barrel, and a sliding door hiding the compartment for the Lithium-ion battery and the SD / SDHC / SDXC card slot. At around 350 shots battery life is respectable enough thanks to the use of a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery. There are metal eyelets on either side of the body for attaching the provided shoulder strap.
All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 16 megapixel Finel JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 6Mb.
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 produced images of above average quality during the review period. It handled noise fairly well, with some noise already appearing at the relatively slow speed of ISO 200 and then becoming progressively worse at ISO 400 and ISO 800. The fastest full-resolution settings of ISO 1600 and 3200 suffer from a loss of fine detail and colour saturation, while the headline-grabbing settings of ISO 6400 and 12800 are both actually shot at a reduced resolution for JPEGs (medium and small respectively) and they're very noisy too. Chromatic aberrations were well controlled, with limited purple fringing effects appearing only in high contrast situations. The 16 megapixel images were just a little soft straight out of the camera at the default sharpen setting.
Macro performance is excellent, allowing you to focus as close as 1cm away from the subject when the lens is set to wide-angle. Commendably barrel distortion is well controlled even at the 24mm focal length. The built-in flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and adequate overall exposure, although there is noticeable vignetting at 24mm. The anti-shake system works very well when hand-holding the camera in low-light conditions or when using the telephoto end of the zoom range. The maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds allows the cameras to capture enough light for most after-dark situations.
The Pro Low-Light scene mode produces better image clarity at high ISO levels at the expense of a loss of fine detail, while the HDR mode effectively produces images with greater dynamic range. The Sweep Panorama mode works largely as advertised, making it simple to take hand-held low-light and wide-vista shots, although there is a clear ghosting effect around any moving subjects. The expanded range of Advanced Filters provide some creative control over your JPEGs.
There are 8 ISO settings available on the Fujifilm FinePix S1. Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting for both JPEG and RAW files:
ISO 100 (100% Crop)
ISO 1600 (100% Crop)
ISO 12800 (100% Crop)
The Fujifilm FinePix S1's 50x zoom lens provides an astonishing focal range of 24-1200mm in 35mm terms, as demonstrated below.
Here are two 100% crops which have been Saved as Web - Quality 50 in Photoshop. The right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images are a little bit soft at the default sharpening setting, but don't really benefit from further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop.

File Quality
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 has 2 different JPEG image quality settings available, with Fine being the highest quality option, and it supports the RAW format too. Here are some 100% crops which show the quality of the various options, with the file size shown in brackets.
Fine (5.95Mb)

Chromatic Aberrations
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 handled chromatic aberrations well during the review. A little purple fringing was present around the edges of objects in high-contrast situations, as shown in the examples below.
Chromatic Aberrations 1 (100% Crop)
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 has two macro modes. The standard macro can focus as close as 5cm at wide-angle and 1.3m at full zoom. Go into super-macro and you can close into 1cm. However, the zoom is disabled in this mode.

The flash settings on the Fujifilm FinePix S1 are Auto, Forced Flash, Suppressed Flash, Slow Synchro, and any of those modes combined with Red-eye Reduction. These shots of a white coloured wall were taken at a distance of 1.5m.
Flash Off - Wide Angle (24mm)
Flash On - Wide Angle (24mm)
Flash Off - Telephoto (1200mm)
Flash On - Telephoto (1200mm)
And here are some portrait shots. Neither the Auto or Red-eye reduction mode caused any amount of red-eye.

The Fujifilm FinePix S1's maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds, which is great news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 30 seconds at ISO 100.

Anti Shake
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 has an anti-shake mechanism, which allows you to take sharp photos at slower shutter speeds than other digital cameras. To test this, we took 2 handheld shots of the same subject with the same settings. The first shot was taken with anti shake turned off, the second with it turned on. Here are some 100% crops of the images to show the results.

Pro Low-Light
The Fujifilm FinePix S1's Pro Low-Light advanced mode produces better image clarity at high ISO levels, with the camera automatically taking a series of four high sensitivity/low-noise shots in quick succession which are then combined together using in-camera processing into an image with less noise than the single exposures. The main drawback is a noticeable softening of fine detail.
Pro Low-Light Off
Pro Low-Light On
Film Simulation Modes
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 offers four different film simulation modes to help replicate the look of your favourite film stock from the past.
Panorama Mode
The Fujifilm FinePix S1 allows you to take panoramic images very easily by 'sweeping' with the camera while keeping the shutter release depressed. The camera does all the processing and stitching, and there are three views available. The main problems are that the resulting image is of fairly low resolution - 1080 pixels high and 5760 pixels wide for the 360 degree image - and moving objects are recorded as "ghost" images.

The Fujifilm FinePix S1 is an impressive do-it-all camera that will satisfy a lot of people's needs, although the more discerning pixel-peepers may be disappointed by the high levels of noise at low ISO speeds.
The S1 really is an all-in-one camera that will cope with virtually everything that you can throw at it, from macro photography to sports and wildlife, safe in the knowledge that its weather-resistant construction should withstand most things that you subject it to. The S1 largely mimicks the handling of a typical DSLR camera, with the obvious advantage of not having to carry several big, heavy and expensive lenses to achieve anywhere near the focal range that the S1 offers out-of-the-box, although we did miss the manual zoom and focus rings of the slightly more expensive H50EXR.
The big fly in the ointment for the Fujifilm FinePix S1 is image quality - it's simply too noisy at ISO 800 and above, with even ISO 400 suffering from unwanted noise. That's a shame, as in most other respects the S1 delivers the goods for both stills and movies, especially when you consider that it's accommodating such a huge focal range. While RAW format support gives you a bit more latitude with post-processing, it does produce a little more noise too. On the plus side, the external flash hotshoe, command dial, tilting LCD screen, complete range of manual shooting modes, fast start-up, shutter-release and continuous shooting times, and full 1080p movie recording with stereo sound help to make the S1 a viable alternative to both a DSLR and video camera too.
£399 / $499 is undoubtedly a lot of money to pay for a compact camera with such a small image sensor, but if the image quality meets your requirements, then the S1 certainly makes a compelling argument to be the only camera that you need. While it's not quite as good as the range-topping HS50EXR or the likes of the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 and Panasonic DMC-FZ200, and despite our reservations about its noise performance, we can still recommend the new Fujifilm FinePix S1.

Run away from bulls on Zynga's latest 'With Friends' game
The social-gaming company releases "Running With Friends," a combination of its mobile franchise and the popular genre of running games. The title's set at the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

Zynga has added another "With Friends" game to its portfolio, and this time it involves running away from a stampede of bulls.
Running With Friends, a game set in Pamplona, Spain, at the annual running of the bulls, went live today for iOS. Capitalizing on the popularity of running games like Temple Run, Running With Friends -- true to Zynga form -- adds a social layer. In addition to competing with friends, players can explore a virtual Pamplona.
"We are committed to expanding Zynga's mobile portfolio to bring players the most fun, social, and accessible games to play with their friends," Travis Boatman, Zynga's senior vice president of mobile, said in a press release. "Launching Running With Friends is a natural fit for us as we combine the excitement of the runner category with the social elements of our 'With Friends' franchise."
It's game over for FarmVille, as Flash also buys the farm
Games With Friends jumps into your iMessage conversations
Facebook is working on a new video game service, but won't tell you what it is
The "With Friends" series is Zynga's only successful mobile franchise, other than Draw Something. Both franchises started from games Zynga bought when the titles were wildly popular.
Running With Friends was developed in collaboration with Eat Sleep Play, the developer behind the game series Twisted Metal, according to Zynga.
