Fazughli fou un regne del sud de Sudan prop de la frontera etíop, vassall del sultanat funj de Sennar. La capital fou la vila del mateix nom a pocs quilòmetres de la frontera etíop, existent avui dia al costat d'un embassament modern. La seva importància derivava de l'or que portava un riu. El rei, que tenia el títol de makk, duia com insígnia un cobriment ple de corns. A la caiguda del sultanat el regne va subsistir fins que el 1821 o gener del 1822 fou conquerit per Ismail Kamil Pasha, serasker de l'exèrcit de Muhammad Ali d'Egipte, i llavors va quedar sota sobirania d'Egipte pagant un tribut. El 1841 fou capital d'una de les set províncies en què es va dividir el Sudan (Fazughli, Sennar, Khartum, Taka, Berber, Dongola i Kordufan). El 1867 la província fou unida a Sennar. Sota Abbas I d'Egipte va esdevenir lloc de desterrament. En no poder-se explotat l'or va perdre importància.

Pentax ist ein Markenname der Ricoh Imaging K.K. (jap. , Rikō Imējingu Kabushiki-gaisha) für Fotokameras, Objektive und andere optische Produkte. Das zugehörige japanische Unternehmen war bis 2008 die Pentax K.K. (, Pentakkusu Kabushiki-gaisha, engl. Pentax Corporation; vormals: Asahi Optical K.K.), die Fotoapparate, Überwachungstechnik und optische Vorrichtungen für die Medizintechnik sowie hochwertige Ferngläser und astronomische Teleskope und Okulare herstellte. Der Name Pentax war aus den Bezeichnungen "Pentaprisma" und "Contax" abgeleitet worden und gehörte ursprünglich dem ostdeutschen VEB Zeiss Ikon, der ihn 1957 an Asahi Optical verkaufte. Im Jahr 2008 wurde die Pentax Corporation vom japanischen Konzern Hoya übernommen und existiert seitdem nicht mehr als eigenständiges, börsennotiertes Unternehmen. Die Entwicklung und Herstellung optischer Produkte unter dem bekannten Markennamen "Pentax" blieben unter dem Dach der Hoya K.K. aber erhalten. Im Jahr 2011 wurde von dieser die Fotosparte mit der Marke Pentax an den Elektronik- und Bürotechnikkonzern Ricoh weiterverkauft. Die Medizintechniksparte (Pentax Medical) verblieb bei der Hoya-Group.

Firmengeschichte

1919 entstand die Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō Goshi-gaisha () (dt. etwa: "Optikwerke Asahi KG", engl. Asahi Optical Joint Stock Co.). Diese stellte zunächst Brillengläser, ab 1933 auch Linsen und Objektive für Kameras her. 1938 wurde die Unternehmensform in eine Kabushiki Kaisha, zu Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha (, engl. Asahi Optical Co., Ltd.), geändert. Bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs bestand ein großer Teil des Auftragsvolumens aus optischen Geräten für militärische Zwecke. Nach dem Kriegsende wurde Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō K.K. von den Siegermächten aufgelöst, erhielt aber im Jahr 1948 die Erlaubnis zur Neugründung. Die Firma nahm ihre Vorkriegsaktivitäten wieder auf und stellte Ferngläser und Fotoobjektive für Konishiroku und Chiyoda Kōgaku Seikō her – die Vorgänger von Konica und Minolta. Ab 1952 folgten Fotoapparate, speziell Spiegelreflexkameras (zunächst: "Asahiflex"), die ab 1957 unter der Bezeichnung "Asahi Pentax" (in Nordamerika auch unter "Honeywell Pentax") vermarktet wurden. Eine der ersten Spiegelreflexkameras mit TTL-Belichtungsmessung, auch Innenmessung, die Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, kam im Jahr 1964 auf den Markt. Später trat der Schriftzug des Namensteils Asahi auf den Kameragehäusen immer mehr in den Hintergrund, bis letztlich nur noch "Pentax" übrigblieb. 2002 fand schließlich auch eine Umbenennung des Firmennamens von Asahi Optical Co. zu "Pentax Co." statt.

Eine Blütezeit hatte die Fotomarke (Asahi) Pentax insbesondere in den 1960er bis 1980er Jahren; später verlor sie vor allem im Zusammenhang mit der Einführung und Weiterentwicklung der Autofokustechnik Marktanteile etwa an Minolta (heute zu Sony) sowie an Nikon und Canon, die gegenwärtig die Verkaufszahlen für kompakte Fotoapparate und digitale Spiegelreflexkameras dominieren. Im Jahr 2010 hatte Pentax im weltweiten Digitalkamera-Markt nur noch einen Anteil von 1,5 Prozent und stand damit auf Platz 10 aller Anbieter (1. Canon 19 % – 2. Sony 17,9 % – 3. Nikon 12,6 %; nur für DSLR: 1. Canon 44,5 % – 2. Nikon 29,8 % – 3. Sony 11,9 %; Pentax ?).

Pentax produzierte zeitweise an rund zehn Standorten in Japan, Hongkong, Taiwan, Vietnam und auf den Philippinen; beschäftigt wurden dabei noch 2007 weltweit etwa 6000 Mitarbeiter. Das europäische Hauptquartier war 1966 gegründet worden und lange Zeit in Hamburg ansässig.

Seit November 2007 war die Pentax Corporation nicht mehr an der Tokioter Börse notiert; ab dem 31. März 2008 war Pentax dann ein Teil des japanischen Konzerns Hoya K.K. Der Markenname Pentax blieb nach der Übernahme für alle Fotoapparate, Endoskope, CCTV, Messtechnik etc. erhalten. Im Oktober 2009 zog das europäische Pentax-Hauptquartier für das Imaging-(Kamera-)Geschäft von Hamburg nach Paris um.

Im Juli 2011 wurde bekannt, dass die Hoya-Group die Fotosparte (einschließlich der Divisionen Security Systems und Sport Optics) unter der Marke Pentax für umgerechnet rund 85 Millionen Euro an Ricoh weiterverkauft. Die Medizintechniksparte sollte allerdings bei Hoya verbleiben. Zum 1. Oktober 2011 wurde die Übernahme durch Ricoh vollzogen. Die dazu neu etablierte Firma heißt "PENTAX RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD.", mit etwa 1900 Mitarbeitern und dem Hauptsitz in Tokio. Sie übernimmt die Planungsfunktion für Kameras und Objektive, Produktionsstätten, Liegenschaften und die weltweite Distribution von den vorherigen Gesellschaften. Die deutsche Niederlassung für das Geschäft mit Kameras und Objektiven hat ihren Sitz nach wie vor in Hamburg und firmiert seit Oktober 2011 unter dem Namen Pentax Ricoh Imaging Deutschland GmbH.

Zum 1. August 2013 wurde der Firmenname in RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD. geändert, entsprechend haben sich die diversen Niederlassungen umbenannt. Der Markenname PENTAX soll in Zukunft weiter für Spiegelreflexkameras, andere Systemkameras mit Wechselobjektiven sowie für Ferngläser verwendet werden, während unter anderem Kompaktkameras künftig unter dem Label RICOH herausgebracht werden.

Fototechnik

1952 entstand mit der Asahiflex I die erste japanische Spiegelreflexkamera. Das Nachfolgemodell, Asahiflex IIB aus dem Jahr 1954 verfügte erstmals über einen automatischen Rückschwingspiegel. 1957 führte Pentax als erstes japanisches Unternehmen in der Asahi Pentax ein fest eingebautes Pentaprisma ein, das den Lichtschachtsucher ablöste. Gleichzeitig erfolgte der Anschluss der passenden Takumar-Objektive seitdem über ein M42-Gewinde (vorher M37).

1964 präsentierte Pentax die Spotmatic, die als eine der weltweit ersten Kameras eine Belichtungsmessung durch das Objektiv (TTL) ermöglichte und so – nach der ersten Kamera überhaupt mit Innenmessung, der ebenfalls japanischen Topcon RE Super – am Markt wesentlich zum Durchbruch der Spiegelreflexkameras sowie der japanischen Kameraindustrie beitrug. Asahi Pentax konnte damit auf den Exportmärkten schnell Fuß fassen und zu einem der großen Anbieter aufsteigen. Unter den professionellen Fotografen fand die Mittelformatkamera Pentax 6×7 aus dem Jahr 1969 viel Aufmerksamkeit. Sie orientierte sich an der Konstruktion einer Kleinbild-Spiegelreflexkamera und bot einen Wechselsucher (Suchereinblick auf Augenhöhe und Belichtungsmessung nur mit dem Pentaprismen-Sucher). Zwar musste man auf ein Wechselmagazin verzichten, konnte dafür aber nahezu ebenso schnell wie mit dem Kleinbild arbeiten.

1971 führte Pentax zwei weitere Neuerungen ein: Die erste Spiegelreflexkamera mit TTL-Belichtungsautomatik (Pentax Electro Spotmatic) sowie die Mehrschichtvergütung Super Multi Coating (SMC), durch welche die Reflexion des Lichtes von vier Prozent (bei einer unvergüteten Glas-Luft-Grenzfläche) auf 0,2 Prozent reduziert wurde. So wurden Abbildungsleistung und Brillanz der Pentax-Objektive erhöht.

K-Bajonett
Siehe Hauptartikel: K-Bajonett

1975 führte Pentax die Kameras K2, KM und KX und die SMC PENTAX-Objektive der K-Serie mit Objektivbajonett ein. Die ein Jahr später eingeführte, preiswerte und robuste Pentax K1000 wurde über 2,5 Millionen Mal verkauft. Sehr erfolgreich waren auch die zwischen 1976 und 1980 eingeführten Modelle MX, MV, ME und ME Super der kompakten M-Serie, zu der entsprechend kompakte SMC PENTAX-M-Objektive eingeführt wurden. Die Kombination der Zeitautomat-Kamera MV mit einem flachbauenden 40er-Objektiv galt jahrzehntelang als kleinstes und leichtestes Spiegelreflex-System im vollwertigen Kleinbildformat.
1980 führte Pentax die Kleinbild-Systemkamera mit Wechselsucher Pentax LX ein. Diese Kamera wurde bis ins Jahr 2000 hergestellt und weist als Besonderheit eine Belichtungsmessung während der Aufnahme und in der Filmebene auf. 1981 stellte Pentax mit der Pentax ME-F die erste Spiegelreflexkamera mit TTL-Autofokus vor (Die erste Kleinbild-Sucherkamera mit Autofokus stellte Konica 1977 mit der C35-AF vor). Die ME-F arbeitet mit einem System, bei dem sich der AF-Motor im Objektiv befindet (so wie heute bei Canon). Ebenfalls hochmodern war 1983 der Kleinbild-SLR-Multiautomat Pentax Super A und die zugehörigen SMC PENTAX-A-Objektive.

Das K-Bajonett kann als Nachfolger des universellen M42-Anschlusssystems bezeichnet werden; es wurde von Beginn an großzügig lizenziert, so dass es auch von zahlreichen anderen Herstellern eingesetzt wurde. Bei der Entwicklung wurde u. a. auf einfache Adaptierungsmöglichkeit für ältere Objektive mit M42-Schraubanschluss geachtet. Trotz aller Weiterentwicklungen – wie der Einführung von Kameras mit Autofokusantrieb, der elektrischen Übertragung von Objektivparametern und der Einführung von Objektiven mit Ultraschall-Autofokus – blieb das K-Bajonett weitgehend kompatibel, so dass auch älteste Objektive zumindest mit manueller Bedienung und Belichtungsmessung an aktuellen digitalen Kameramodellen betrieben werden können.

Einige Anbieter haben eigene Erweiterungen des K-Bajonetts entwickelt, die in Einzelfällen zu Inkompatibilitäten führen können. So führt der Einsatz einiger Ricoh-Objektive an Pentax-Kameras mit Autofokusantrieb zu einem Verklemmen, so dass Kamera und Objektiv nicht mehr ohne Werkzeug zu trennen sind.

Zum gehobenen Qualitätssegment der neueren Pentax SLR-Objektive gehören die besonders kompakten, teilweise handgefertigten Modellreihen FA- & DA Limited sowie die gegen Staub und Feuchtigkeit abgedichteten und mit Ultraschall-Autofokusmotor (SDM) ausgestatteten DA*/DFA*-Objektive. Die Kürzel "WR" (weather resistant) und "AW" (all weather) kennzeichnen ebenfalls wetterfest abgedichtete Objektive. Im Vergleich zu früheren Modellserien von Pentax sowie gegenüber den marktführenden Anbietern ist das heutige Sortiment an Wechselobjektiven für DSLR weniger breit gefächert. Dafür sind aktuelle Pentax-DSLR-Kameras mit allen älteren K-Bajonett-Objektivserien seit 1975 rückwärtskompatibel – teilweise allerdings mit Funktionseinschränkungen etwa bei Belichtungsmessung und Blendensteuerung.

Pentax Auto 110

Im Sommer 1979 präsentierte Pentax mit der Auto 110 eine der kleinsten Spiegelreflex-Pocketkameras, die auf dem Weltmarkt jemals angeboten wurden, und die einzige mit Wechselobjektiven. Die Auto 110 wurde zunächst nur im Set mit Motorantrieb, Blitz und drei Objektiven für etwa 1000 DM geliefert, dann aber auch einzeln angeboten. Sämtliche Objektive besaßen ein Öffnungsverhältnis von 1:2,8, da die Blende im Kameragehäuse integriert war. Zu Beginn bot Pentax Objektive mit 18 mm, 24 mm und 50 mm Brennweite an, später kamen noch ein weiteres Tele-Objektiv mit 70 mm, ein Panfocus-Objektiv und das Zoom mit 20 mm bis 40 mm Brennweite hinzu. Die zu dieser Kamera passenden Filme werden seit 2012 wieder hergestellt und sind im Handel erhältlich.

Sucherkameras
1982 präsentierte Pentax als seine erste Sucherkamera die PC 35 AF, 1986 dann nach weiteren Modellen mit fester Brennweite die Zoom 70, die zugleich die weltweit erste Kompaktkamera mit einem eingebauten Zoomobjektiv war (35 bis 70 mm Brennweite). 1990 erschien die Pentax Zoom 105 Super (38 bis 105 mm Brennweite). 1992 führte Pentax die erfolgreiche Kompaktkamera-Modellreihe Espio ein, die bis heute fortgeführt wird. Aus dieser Modellreihe stammt auch die erste Zoom-Kompaktkamera von Pentax mit einem Dreifachzoom von 38 bis 115 mm (Pentax Espio 115 von 1993).

Autofokus-SLR

1981 erschien die Pentax ME F mit Autofokusobjektiv SMC Pentax AF 35 mm – 70 mm f/2,8. Im Gegensatz zu späteren Produkten war bei diesem der Motor für die Fokussierung im Objektiv eingebaut und wurde von eigenen Batterien mit Strom versorgt. Die Regelung erfolgte jedoch durch die Kamera.

Im Spiegelreflexbereich verlor Pentax ab 1985 Marktanteile durch den Erfolg der Minolta 7000. Als Reaktion brachte Pentax ab 1987 die mäßig erfolgreichen Kameras der SF-Serie (SFX, SFX-N und SF7) mit Autofokus sowie die zugehörigen SMC PENTAX-F-Objektive. Anders als bei der ME-F befand sich der AF-Motor wie bei der Minolta 7000 in der Kamera und nicht im Objektiv. 1991 wurde die Z-Serie eingeführt; einige dazugehörige Zooms der SMC PENTAX-FA-Objektivserie verfügten über eine abschaltbare Powerzoom-Funktion. 1995 kam als erste Spiegelreflexkamera der kompakten MZ-Serie die MZ-5 mit klassischen Bedienelementen auf den Markt. 1997 erschien mit der Pentax 645N die weltweit erste Mittelformat-Spiegelreflexkamera mit automatischer Scharfstellung.

Digitalkameras
Schon 1996 stellte Pentax das deutschsprachige Internet-Angebot und die erste Pentax-Digitalkamera vor. Relativ erfolgreich waren ab 2001 die kompakten Modelle Optio 330, 430, 450 und 550, ab 2003 die winzige Optio S und ihre Nachfolgemodelle, ab 2005 die wasserdichte Optio WP. Auch die zahlreichen späteren Modelle digitaler Kompaktkameras wurden bis 2012 unter dem Namen "Optio" verkauft. Anfang 2013 erschien mit der MX-1 eine Premium-Kompaktkamera, die mit ihrem Gehäusedesign an klassische Spiegelreflexkameras wie die Pentax MX erinnert. Kompaktkameras werden seit 2013 nicht mehr unter dem Label Pentax angeboten, das nun vor allem den Spiegelreflexkamera-Modellen vorbehalten sein soll. Stattdessen wird meist der Markenname Ricoh in die Modellbezeichnung integriert.

DSLR

Die 2000 als Prototyp vorgestellte digitale Spiegelreflexkamera Pentax MZ-D mit Bildsensor in der Kleinbildformatgröße kam nicht auf den Markt. Der Prototyp ist in einem Kameramuseum in Japan ausgestellt und trägt die Bezeichnung K1-D. Die Kamera war mit einem 6-MP-Chip von Philips in der Größe von 24 mm × 36 mm geplant.

Erst 2003 folgte eine käufliche digitale Pentax-Spiegelreflexkamera (DSLR) mit Wechselobjektiven, die Pentax *ist D. Ihr Bildsensor war mit 23,5 mm × 15,7 mm deutlich kleiner als das Kleinbildformat (KB). Auch die späteren Pentax-DSLR verfügten durchweg über Sensoren mit dem Cropfaktor 1,5 in Relation zum KB-Format (vergleiche: APS-C, DX-Format). Anders als die großen Hersteller hatte Pentax lange keine DSLR mit Kleinbild-Vollformatsensor im Programm. Seit April 2016 wird die Pentax K-1 ausgeliefert. Die *ist D und ihre 2004 bis 2006 erschienenen kleineren Geschwistermodelle (Pentax *ist Ds, Pentax *ist DL, Pentax *ist DS2 und Pentax *ist DL2) zeichneten sich durch kompakte Abmessungen und ein im Vergleich zu unmittelbaren Konkurrenten relativ großes und helles Sucherbild aus. Das Modell *ist DS2 war auf dem europäischen Markt nicht erhältlich. Gleiches war für die *ist DL2 geplant, als jedoch die *ist DL zu schnell abverkauft war, wurde die *ist DL2 auch in Europa eingeführt.

Ab 2003 erschienen für digitale Spiegelreflexkameras optimierte SMC PENTAX-DA- und SMC PENTAX-DFA-Objektive. Erstere haben keinen Blendenring und leuchten den Bildkreis des Kleinbildformats nicht voll aus, wogegen letztere auch für Kleinbild-Spiegelreflexkameras geeignet sind.

2005 ging Pentax für digitale Spiegelreflexkameras eine Entwicklungskooperation mit Samsung ein. Zunächst beschränkte sich Samsung auf umgelabelte Pentax-Kameras: Die GX1S entsprach der *ist DS2 und die GX1L der *ist DL2. Dazu kamen als Schneider-Kreuznach umgelabelte Pentaxobjektive. Die Kameras und Objektive waren ab April/Mai 2006 nach und nach auf dem deutschen Markt erhältlich.

Bei der Objektiventwicklung arbeitete Pentax jahrelang mit Tokina zusammen. Die optische Konstruktion einiger Objektive wurde gemeinsam entwickelt, während die Mechanik unterschiedlich blieb und beide Hersteller an verschiedenen Standorten produzierten. Dabei wurden die Pentax-Versionen nur für das eigene Bajonett hergestellt, während Tokina ausschließlich andere Kameraanschlüsse belieferte.

Mit den ab August 2006 in Deutschland erhältlichen Modellen K100D und K110D wandte sich Pentax von den Typenbezeichnungen der ersten DSLR-Serien ab. Die K100D war mit einem sogenannten Shake-Reduction-System ausgestattet, die K110D hatte dieses nicht und wurde als Einsteigermodell entsprechend günstiger angeboten. Im September 2006 wurde das Spitzenmodell K10D vorgestellt, unter anderem mit höher auflösendem Bildsensor, Bildstabilisator und mit verbessertem Schutz vor Staub und Feuchtigkeit. Das Bajonett der K10D wurde um die Möglichkeit erweitert, Objektive mit einem eigenen Ultraschall-Autofokusantrieb anzusteuern, die im August 2007 auf den Markt kamen. Diese Erweiterung bestand aus einem Stromkontakt im unteren Teil des Gehäuses, welcher der K10D ermöglichte, auch wieder mit den Powerzooms der 1990er-Jahre zu arbeiten, zumindest in deren Grundfunktionen. Die SDM-Objektive der Reihe DA* sind, ebenso wie die K10D, durch aufwendige Dichtungen spritzwasser- und staubgeschützt. Im Juni 2007 wurde die K100D Super vorgestellt. Diese war weitgehend mit der K100D identisch, bot jedoch zwei Neuerungen: eine Sensorreinigung sowie die Unterstützung des Ultraschall-Fokusmotors der SDM-Objektive von Pentax.

Besonders durch den Erfolg der K10D fand Pentax wieder mehr Beachtung in der Fachwelt und bei den Konsumenten. Mit einem Marktanteil von 4,7 Prozent bei digitalen Spiegelreflexkameras lag Pentax Ende 2006 in diesem Marktsegment hinter den beiden Marktführern Canon und Nikon in Japan auf dem dritten Platz.

Im Jahr 2008 ergänzte Pentax seine Produktpalette um drei weitere digitale Spiegelreflex-Kameras. Im Frühjahr 2008 erschienen die K20D als Nachfolgerin der K10D sowie die K200D als Nachfolgerin der K100D, K110 und K100D Super. Im Herbst wurde das Sortiment um ein Einsteigermodell ergänzt, die K-m. Diese Kamera wurde in Nordamerika baugleich als Pentax K2000 verkauft.

Im Mai 2009 erschien als damaliges DSLR-Spitzenmodell die K-7 mit einem kantigeren Design im Vergleich zur Vorgängerin K20D, die aber schon den gleichen, zusammen mit Samsung entwickelten Bildsensor hatte. Das Nachfolgemodell K-5 ist seit Oktober 2010 erhältlich. Es hat das identische, abgedichtete Gehäuse aus einer Magnesiumlegierung, aber unter anderem einen neuen Sensor von Sony – verbunden mit höherer Lichtempfindlichkeit und effektiverer Rauschunterdrückung – sowie eine verbesserte Autofokusfunktion. Als gehobene Einsteiger-DSLR wurde im September 2009 die K-x eingeführt, ergänzt um die K-r im Oktober des Folgejahres und die funktional stark aufgewertete K-30 im Jahr 2012 und ein Jahr später die technisch nahezu identischen K-50 und K-500 mit verändertem Gehäusedesign. Die im September 2012 vorgestellten Modelle Pentax K-5 II und K-5 IIs wurden als Nachfolger der K-5 platziert. Beide weisen Optimierungen am Autofokus auf und haben ein modifiziertes rückwärtiges Display. Der K-5 IIs fehlt zudem ein Tiefpassfilter vor dem Sensor, was die Detailauflösung erhöhen, allerdings auch die Anfälligkeit für den sogenannten Moiré-Effekt in bestimmten Motivsituationen verstärken kann.

Als neues Spitzenmodell im APS-C-Bereich stellte das Unternehmen Ricoh im Oktober 2013 die Pentax K-3 vor. Diese verfügt über einen 24-MP-Sensor ohne Tiefpassfilter, wobei durch Mikroschwingungen des beweglichen Sensors bei kritischen Aufnahmesituationen ein entsprechender Filterschutz simuliert werden können soll (Funktion zu- und abschaltbar). Im August 2014 wurde ein neues, besonders kleines, leichtes und recht auffällig gestaltetes DSLR-Einsteigermodell angekündigt. Die Pentax K-S1 weist einen 20-MP-Sensor auf und hat – wie die K-3 – keinen Tiefpassfilter vor dem Bildsensor, aber eine Tiefpassfilter-Simulation durch einen schwingbaren Sensor. Trotz der geringen Abmessungen ist ein Pentaprismensucher mit 100%-Bildfeld verbaut. Das Bedienkonzept wurde überarbeitet und soll weniger menülastig sein, sondern über ein zentrales Daumensteuerrad und Bildschirmanzeigen geschehen.

Als erste Kamera der Firma im Kleinbildformat (24 × 36 mm) stellte Pentax im Herbst 2015 die Pentax K-1 vor, sie wird seit Ende April 2016 ausgeliefert. Die Kamera hat einen 36-MP-Sensor, eingebautes GPS, Wlan und ein Schwenkdisplay.

Im Sommer folgte die APS-C Kamera Pentax K-70 als Nachfolger der K-50.

Im Jahr 2017 kam die Pentax KP in den Handel. Sie verfügt ebenfalls über den 24-MP-Sensor ohne Tiefpassfilter mit der zuschaltbaren Filtersimulation wie die Pentax K-3, außerdem über ein kippbares Display. Im März 2021 wurde die Pentax K-3 III vorgestellt. Sie wurde gegenüber den Vorgängermodellen der K-3-Reihe weiter verbessert, und hat einen 25,7-MP-Sensor.

Digitale Mittelformatkameras
2010 knüpfte die Pentax 645D als erste digitale Mittelformatkamera von Pentax an die eigene Tradition im Bereich des Mittelformates an. Zunächst war die in erster Linie für professionelle Studio-, Landschafts- und Architekturfotografen gedachte 40-Megapixel-Kamera ausschließlich auf dem japanischen Markt verfügbar, seit Anfang 2011 auch in den USA und Europa. Wie bei den anderen digitalen Pentax-Spiegelreflexkameras, ist auch die 645D zu vorhandenen Objektiven ihrer filmbasierten Vorgänger aus der 645er-Serie weitgehend kompatibel. Allerdings handelt es sich beim Bildkreis um einen Crop (Ausschnitt) im Verhältnis zu den analogen Mittelformaten, da der Sensor lediglich ein Aufnahmeformat von 44 mm × 33 mm abdeckt (gegenüber nominal 60 mm × 45 mm bzw. 60 mm × 70 mm). Im Vergleich zum sogenannten (KB-)Vollformat (24 mm × 36 mm) ist die Aufnahmefläche der Pentax 645D dagegen um das ca. 1,7-fache größer. Im April 2014 stellte Ricoh Imaging ein hinsichtlich Auflösung, Lichtempfindlichkeit und weiteren Merkmalen verbessertes Schwestermodell vor: die Pentax 645Z. Diese verfügt über einen CMOS-Sensor mit rund 51 Megapixeln und ohne Anti-Aliasing-Filter, ein neues Autofokus-System SAFOX 11 und Live-View samt Videofunktion in Full-HD. Der Bildprozessor PRIME III, das Autofocus-Modul und die Belichtungsmessung mit einem 86.000 Pixel umfassenden RGB Sensor sind identisch zu den in der K-3 verbauten Modulen, die Empfindlichkeit erreicht 204.800 ISO. Die 645Z hat ebenfalls ein gegen Staub und Feuchtigkeit abgedichtetes Gehäuse.

Spiegellose Systemkameras

Mit der Pentax Q kündigte man im Juni 2011 das Erscheinen einer spiegellosen kompakten Digitalkamera mit Wechselobjektiven an; diese zwischen Kompaktkameras und Spiegelreflexkameras angesiedelte Gerätegattung wird unter anderem mit dem Begriff "spiegellose Systemkamera" oder dem Kürzel "DSLM" (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless) bezeichnet. Der kleine Fotoapparat hat mit dem sogenannten Q-Bajonett einen neuartigen Anschluss für Objektive. Herkömmliche Pentax-DSLR-Objektive für K-Bajonett passen nativ nicht darauf, sondern nur spezielle, für den viel kleineren Bildkreis und Sensor der Kamera konstruierte Kompaktobjektive. Diese weisen einen Cropfaktor von 5,53 im Verhältnis zum KB-Format auf. Der miniaturisierte CMOS-Bildsensor der Pentax Q ist mit rund 28 mm² deutlich kleiner als der von gleichzeitig erschienenen kompakten Systemkameras anderer Hersteller, und zum Vergleich mit Spiegelreflexkameras: Der Sensor der K-5 misst gut 370 mm², das Mittelformat-Modell 645D hat ein Aufnahmeformat von 1452 mm². Er hat rund 12 Megapixel Auflösung und wird von seiner Rückseite her belichtet, was sich laut Herstellerangaben positiv auf Lichtempfindlichkeit, Rauschreduzierung und Bildverarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit auswirken soll. Ein Objektivadapter ermöglicht zudem den Anschluss von normalen Pentax-K-Objektiven, auch Adapter für zahlreiche Fremdobjektive werden mittlerweile von unterschiedlichen Herstellern angeboten. (Im September 2012 wurde das Nachfolgemodell Pentax Q10 angekündigt. Knapp ein Jahr später kam die Pentax Q7 mit minimal größerem Bildsensor (1/1,7 Zoll; Cropfaktor zu KB: 4,6) heraus; 2014 wurde die Pentax Q-S1 mit verändertem Gehäusedesign vorgestellt. Diese verfügt außerdem über einen kontinuierlichen (nachführenden) Autofokus während Videoaufnahmen.)

Im Februar 2012 machte Pentax das Erscheinen einer weiteren DSLM bekannt. Die zwischen März 2012 und Ende 2013 angebotene Pentax K-01 hat einen 16-Megapixel-Sensor im APS-C-Format, so dass sie im Gegensatz zur Pentax Q mit allen handelsüblichen Pentax-Objektiven mit KA-Bajonett unmittelbar kompatibel ist. Aufgrund dieser Eigenschaften ist sie allerdings auch weniger kompakt und wiegt inklusive Akku und Speicherkarte 560 Gramm – trotz Fehlens eines optischen Suchers und des Klappspiegels kaum weniger als eine Einsteiger-DSLR wie die K-x. Die K-01 wurde unter anderem im Set mit einem "Pancake"-Objektiv (DA 40 mm/f2,8 XS) angeboten, das mit 9,2 mm Länge extrem flach gebaut war.

Living and dying this is that entire people know about life but it is beyond that. When we see the spectrum of life then on one side there is death and the other is the health well being which doesn't mean of just being alive. Health is inevitable when the time passes by, but we can do something with the lifestyle and habits to slow down the deterioration of health.
When it comes to staying health what people start collecting is the medications, contacts of doctors and hospitals. Nutrition is something that one must adapt to have the healthy well being. Physical activity, healthy psychological disposition and the carefully planned nutrition go along with the healthy body. The question arises is why proper food is important for wellness and longevity.
In the market, there is various kind of supplements are available and even online stores like Canadian pharmacy are also providing the supplements that give you all the nutrition that you lack just because of your disturbed lifestyle. Supplements help you in every manner but it more important to grasp the nutrition from the food itself.
Without proper nutrition, the body cannot have the form of energy that is needed to utilize for any kind of activity. It ultimately decreases health if nutrition is ignored in life. When we go for the mental impact without the nutrition then what comes out is the lack of psychological processes. For the overriding of the own ideas, a person should maintain the health wellness nutritional triangle as per the scientist studies.
It is undeniable that food intake is responsible for the raising of our own nutrition health triangle. From the food that comes out are all the elements that are needed by the body. By using various chemicals like oxygen, hydrogen and carbon along with some other elements like zinc, iron and calcium our body responds better than whether it is physically, mentally or emotionally.
This all comes from eating and drinking that is by taking the nutrition. Nutrition is what a balanced diet consists of a body needs all the nutrients available. Health has all depended on the nutrition and the well being is on health.
People sometimes surrounds with many of the health issues but they exactly unaware of the lack of nutrition that they ignored by just doing other cores in daily routine. Health is something that can't be ignored as because of its whole of life is dependent and if ignored it means that we are compromising on the life that is given to us.
The pursuit of a healthy life and good well being needs efforts and dedication that nobody will do for you. It is the task done by one for oneself only. If you want to see your life happy and healthy then nutrition and the health should be tied tightly. When we really care about the body and the nutritional values that are needed by the body it becomes easy to hold the good life.

"Do you think you're human or something else?" Dock drives another flag into the barren soil, and a puff of dust flies up to choke the air. He stumbles back, coughing.
"Careful, you're on the edge."
He peers over his shoulder to find he's less than a foot from the deep ditch in the ground where a fence should be but isn't yet. "Think they're ever going to get around to finishing this little 'public safety project'?" Under the midday sun, it's hard to see the current end of the fence through the glare, but it's at least two miles of desert away, and it hasn't gotten any closer since they halted construction last week. One of the trucks got blown to bits—driver and all—in the raid. No one's volunteered to replace him yet. No one will until someone is held at gunpoint.
"I doubt it. When does the government ever finish anything but lives?" I march past him, counting ten paces, and pull the pack of bright red flags from my bag.
"You shouldn't say things like that out loud. Never know if you're bugged or not." He snatches the package from me and plucks a few out, staking one several inches askew from the line of red we've been drawing for the last six hours. "Passive aggression works better, especially when the people you're pulling it on are too stupid to recognize it for what it is."
"Even if they recognized that, I sincerely doubt they'd care. Passive aggression is safe, Dock. You don't overthrow totalitarian regimes by being safe." I scan the arid landscape on the opposite side of the ditch. Somewhere, miles and miles away, is a Coalition camp—hundreds of soldiers from fifteen countries and counting are likely preparing for another raid. I've heard they apologize for each kill they make that isn't a government official or corrupt military leader, but if I met one of them out here, I'd blow his brains out regardless. We have enough people in this country trying to kill everyone they can get their hands on. Last thing we need is people outside this country doing it, too.
"So you don't consider your weekly 'Book Club' meetings safe?" He waves a flag in my face, knowing it's a low blow, knowing I'm not in the mood to be teased for my failures. Haven't been in the mood for years. No, haven't been in the mood ever. "Hiding in a closet with ten to fifteen people discussing manifestos rife with misspellings and ideas borrowed from Romantic poets? Sounds pretty damn safe to me."
I seize his wrist and squeeze, harder and harder until the skin splits under my nails. He lets the flag drop to the ground with a sound lost in the desert winds. Shock. Horror. Confusion. Intrigue. Those are the things normal people would feel if someone in my condition demonstrated above-average physical prowess. Dock, on the other hand, jerks his arm free, stares me down from his ten-inch vantage point, and smiles.
"It won't be a disability, then?" He flicks the edge of the bandage over my right eye—socket. "I was afraid, when I first heard, that you'd be discharged and shipped back home for factory labor or something. Should have known you wouldn't let them."
"I have things to do out here. My 'Book Club' has grown substantially over the past few weeks. Everyone likes battle-scarred leaders. I'm getting pretty popular."
"And what will you do after you reach the peak of popularity? Start a revolt?"
Overhead, a buzzard squawks as it circles around an oddly specific area of the ditch. It's a good quarter mile away, and I squint to penetrate the glare: there's a spot in the sandy soil that's distorted, kicked-up, revealing a slightly darker shade of slightly less-parched earth. There was a struggle. I take off, and Dock calls out for me to Wait, it might be dangerous! But I need to see what tragedy has unfolded today. Every day. I want to know all about all the tragedies. Because maybe, one day, I'll find one worse than mine.
(Not today, though.)
At the bottom of the ditch is the body of a boy.
He was shot in the forehead and kicked off the edge into the dirt to rot. A number of desert animals have already had their way with him. Pieces of his flesh have been bitten and ripped and pecked, and both his eyes are gone. Ants march in circles around his lips and climb into his mouth to gather whatever hints of sugar are left on his decaying tongue.
"Jesus!" Dock slides to a halt beside me, a whirlwind of dust clinging to his well-worn uniform pants. He tries (desperately) to hold in a surge of fury topped with a hint of hopelessness, but his clenched fists start shaking from the strain. "What do you think he did?"
I kick a small rock off the edge of the pit, and it hits the boy square on the nose, scaring the ant army into a frenzy. "I imagine he dared to think he was human in a country that branded him something else."
"What? A slave?" He gnaws on his parched lower lip. It splits. But his tongue pokes out and laps at the tear before it can cost him any precious water in our little desert wasteland. "Is that what they think we are? Slaves? Beasts of burden? Dogs?"
"Are you okay?" His calloused hand wraps around the one I've pressed against my bandaged face and guides it away. "Does it hurt? An infection?" A finger tries to sneak underneath the gauze to tug it up, but I bat his hand off course.
"They're paying for a new one. Special-order and everything. Took a picture of my good eye to make the best glass replica money can buy. Some shit about getting rewarded for my service. Do you really think they'd let me die of an infection, Murdock? I'm an investment."
"A revolution."
I grab him by the sleeve and spin him around, unzipping one of his backpack pockets to reveal a box of matches and an unlabeled bottle of whatever accelerant Dock's been given just in case. "Not a revolt. A revolution. I'm starting a revolution." I hand him the bottle and remove a single match.
"The 'Book Club' Revolution? You going to call it that?" A shaking hand uncaps the bottle, and the top slips out of his fingers into the ditch. It lands near the boy's half-eaten left ear. It doesn't matter, though. There's only enough in the bottle to burn one body.
"No, I want us to be called something playful yet dangerous."
He dumps the bottle in one motion, clear liquid splattering over the boy's dirtied uniform. "Like what? Zara and the Revolutionaries? Zara and the Republicans? Zara and the Rebels?"
I strike the match and toss it into the abyss. The boy goes up in flames.
"Zara and the Battalion? Zara and the Beasts of Burden? Zara and the—"
"Bombardiers."

Have ya'll seen some of these hits on the qbs?
It's the roughing the passer calls where a defensive players hits a qb in the face mask or on his helmet with his hand that drives me crazy. I believe in calling the game the same for all players, not one rule for how you can tackle a qb and different rules on how you can tackle and hit everybody else.
Great Game flow. . I am watching it recorded. They play through commercials like golf too. The play clock is 35 seconds so the plays come quick. Good camera work and great commentary . .. much better than Monday night football for sure. Tiki Barber and Trent Green on the San Antonio vs. San Diego game.
I guess that the teams have only been practicing for a few weeks but I have the say the QB play was pretty bad from what I saw. I hope that the league finds a way to continue to develop as I think that it could be a great alternative league. However, as the USFL has shown it will be a hard row to hoe to keep any talent. Between the NFL and CFL who offer real money to anyone who shows talent it will be difficult for these programs to sustain growth without star talent IMO. The loss of talent was the one of the bigger reasons why the USFL wasn't' able to sustain any serious fanbase.
Already a step up from NFL! I'm a fan.
As long as the big hits are allowed below the neck area, I'm down with it. A hand swatting the helmet is pretty much harmless though. I'd only penalize helmet to helmet hits and clothesline type hits as well as horse collar tackles. Reasonable safety measures that allow for big hits works for me.
I attempted to watch the Atlanta/Orlando game but gave up after the defensive penalty for rushing too many guys. The play is extremely low quality and that defensive rule is about as dumb as it gets (do they need to count to 5 Mississippi before blitzing as well?). When they threw the flag, I couldn't stop laughing until I just turned the channel.
Somebody accidentally deleted my recording of the Orlando game, so no thoughts on that one. But watching the San Antonio/San Diego game, I have a few thoughts.
Mekale McKay and Greg Ward are the standout skill position players. They both play for San Antonio. In particular I was impressed with the hands, toughness, body control, and field awareness of Ward, a converted QB. Those are all things that I wouldn't expect to see from someone raw as a receiver, but it's clear he's working extra hard to be the friend of a QB that he always wanted in college. If there was one guy in this game that I would say I want the Saints to take a look at, it is Ward, with McKay second.
Offensive line play is just not there. There's no consistency, especially in the pass game. There were so many sacks. It makes sense, because this is the unit in football that requires the most cohesion. The disruption makes it tough to look at guys. Frankly the best way I can describe the game is, it feels like preseason, both in terms of the caliber of players and the way the game flows with lower scores. The lack of game film on any of these teams and what they like to do undoubtedly made preparation tough.
Also loved the much shorter commercial breaks. Kept the game shorter and didn't feel all drawn out like other football does. They would often show footage of the field during those short breaks, which the only downside to me is, it's hard to want to go to the bathroom (good for advertisers though)!
Love the live audio between players and coaches. Could hear play calls and listen to them discuss what they were doing and why. It was great. They do need to get the headsets worked out, as those seemed to fail a lot, leading to play stoppages. They even had the audio for the replay official, and he new immediately what he was doing. Very decisive and prompt on the call, and most importantly, correct.
Jayrone Elliott had a couple of nice run stuffs for San Antonio, but was called for one penalty as well. Did not see him get as much pressure as other guys.
I understand why; with as little time as these offensive lines have together (and offensive lines need more time than any other unit), if they were allowed to bring even more pressure, the games would become even more disjointed and unwatchable.
I think the quality of play will improve as the season goes along, as players on the offensive line become more cohesive, and coaches are better able to put together game plans from game film.
Please please bring a team to the Gulf Coast and let's call it the Voodoo. Cmon!
I can't really get behind the allowed helmet to helmet hits.
Some say it's old school football.
Some say they know what they signed up for.
Long term effects of multiple concussions are horrific.
Suicide, paraplegic after football. Wouldn't wish that on anyone no matter what they choose. Or how enjoyable it makes the game.
i agree. i do the like the relaxation of flagging qb hits though.
no kidding. the quality of talent isn't bad, since the players are fairly equal. but, it is refreshing to see a league much closer to "old school" football. i would 100% support a team here in the aaf, and this is after one game. also, i'm so sick of the nfl, i welcome anything at this point.
You can slam a QB with both hands right into his facemask in the NFL w/out drawing a flag, so long as you're the Rams and the league wants to ignite your disinterested fan base by getting you to the SuperBowl.
...if you're the Chiefs playing against Tom Brady though, a defenders arm hitting the QB across the chest is cause for a 15yd penalty.

Overview of the Medical School
Lancaster University Medical School was established in 2006 in the city of Lancaster in Lancashire, England.
It is a part of the Faculty of Health and Medicine, found in Furness College in Lancaster University campus in Bailrigg, south of the city centre.
Lancaster Medical School offers a MBChB and is currently the UK's newest public medical school with the first cohort graduating in 2011.
Lancaster previously was a satiellite medical school utilising the curriculum from the University of Liverpool. Lancaster Medical School gained independence from the General Medical Council in November 2012. The first cohort of to be awarded a Lancaster MBChB will graduate in 2017.
Lancaster University Campus:
Lectures commonly are located in the three lecture theatres in Furness College, or in the Management School located in Grizedale College.
Clinical Anatomy Learning Centre (CALC)
Clinical Skills Corner, where medical students can practice clinical skills on campus, is also found within CALC.
Study Spaces include recently redeveloped Lancaster University Library and the Learning Zone (>1200 workspaces and 37 Study Pods) and CALC, which is opened 24 hours and is exclusively for studies of the faculty.

MBChB Programme Information
Lancaster Medical School uses a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum.
Number of students on the course
There are 54 places per year. 4 of these places are reserved for international students.
Course Structure and Length
Year 1 (Foundation of Medicine) comprises pre-clinical lectures and PBL sessions which are primarily based at the University. There are 11 PBL Modules (two weeks each in length) which cover the anatomy and physiology of each system. There are weekly anatomy sessions in CALC and clinical skills sessions at the nearby Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI). In addition, there are fortnightly communication skills sessions. After Christmas, following formative assessments, students undertake a 4-week Special Study Module (SSM1).
Year 2 (Learning to Diagnose and Manage Illness 1) is the first clinical year where students spend two days a week in hospital undertaking Medicine and Surgery placements and one day in the community, usually at a GP practice. The following two days a week are spent at the university campus for PBL, lectures and CALC teaching. Clinical Placements are split evenly between the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI) in Lancaster and Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow-in-Furness. The University provide transport to FGH. Students also have a 4-week SSM2 block.
Year 3 (Learning to Diagnose and Manage Illness 2) is a clinical year comprises 7 week rotations around the specialties; Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Paediatrics, Psychiatry, Care of the Elderly, General Practice). Placements are either at the RLI, FGH or at the Blackpool Victoria Hospital (BVH). A student-led SSM3 is taken place during this year. Professionalism and ethics coursework takes place during this year.
Year 4 (Learning to Diagnose and Manage Illness 3) is a clinical year where students spent at least three days per week in hospital and one day in general practice. There are two 16-week blocks (Medicine/Surgery and Specialties) which cover the majority of the curriculum. An audit comprises SSM4 and there is also Psychology and Sociology coursework during the first-half of the year. Students sit their final examinations at the end of Year 4. Placements take place between RLI and FGH (accommodation provided). Following the sitting of Final exams, students go on their elective.
Intercalation – if a student would like to intercalate (either internally or at another university) then this is an option after the completion of Year 4.
Year 5 (Apprenticeship-style, intensive clinical experience) is a purely clinical year where students undertake five clinical attachments. Two of these are placements chosen by the students (Selectives in Advanced Medical Practice – SAMPS). The other placements include community placement in GP, A&E and a general ward placement. Each attachment lasts seven weeks and the year is assessed via a portfolio. Attachments take place at the RLI, FGH (accommodation provided) and the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (accommodation provided).

War dead research and geometric flows the focus from $800,000 funding
Two early career researchers have received around $800,000 to enable them to conduct research into areas of national importance at the University of Newcastle.
Pictured: Dr Kate Ariotti
Dr Kate Ariotti and Dr Mat Langford have each been awarded Federal Government funding through the Australian Research Council's Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) scheme, which aims to advance the career of promising researchers by providing funds over a three-year period.
Researching the Australian history of war corpses, history lecturer Dr Ariotti has been awarded $379,405. Dr Ariotti's research aims to provide the first-ever account of changing policies, practices and attitudes that shaped how the physical remains of Australian war dead were dealt with between the First World War and wars in the Middle East between 1915 and 2015.
Dr Ariotti hoped new knowledge of war corpses would advance national understanding of the realities of war and provide valuable information and informed perspectives about death in war to history educations, cultural institutions, military units and the public.
"This funding will allow me to focus purely on my research for the next couple of years," said Dr Ariotti.
"It will mean I can visit archives overseas, attend conferences and develop global networks. It will enable me to say something significant about how Australians view their war history and hopefully get us thinking about the realities of participating in war," Dr Ariotti said.
Dr Langford has been awarded $418,419 to develop a greater understanding of the structure of singularities in geometric flows.
Geometric flows are mathematical equations that exploit properties of heat to deform geometric objects such as interfaces based on attributes like curvature. They can provide useful models in materials science, image processing, quantum field theories, and even the behaviour of bushfire fronts.
Currently an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Dr Langford will relocate to the University in winter 2020. He said the University's reputation for excellence, coupled with his strong affiliation for the city, was the reason he chose to apply for funding to research at Newcastle.
"I completed my undergraduate studies at Newcastle and I've always felt a close connection to the city," Dr Langford said.
"My work is also closely linked to that of James McCoy, an Associate Professor at the University's School of Mathematical and Physical Science. James is someone I've collaborated with in the past and he was co-supervisor for my PhD, which I completed at the Australian National University in 2015.
"I'm looking forward to returning next year to work more closely with excellent researchers like James and provide important breakthroughs through my research.
"This funding will give me the freedom to experiment and pursue ambitious research projects for a long period of time. Without such freedom, only the easy problems will be solved."
The DECRA scheme provides funding for early career researchers who hold teaching and research roles and research-only positions. It supports research in areas of critical national importance by enabling outstanding Australian and international early career researchers to conduct their research in Australia.

Report explains how Milan's Krzysztof Piatek feels about Crystal Palace move
Danny Owen @danny8195
Danny Owen
@danny8195
Premier League high-flyers Palace still need a reliable goal-scorer and they are apparently keen on £30m Serie A star Piatek.
Struggling AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek has no interest in swapping the Serie A for Crystal Palace next month, according to Tuttomercatoweb, as he sees the Premier League club as a step down.
Now, you can see where the Poland international is coming from. AC Milan are seven-time European champions after all. But, as we near the halfway stage of the 2019/20 season, there's no debating who is having a better season right now – Roy Hodgson's high-flying Eagles or the fallen giants of Italian football.
After 15 games, Palace are seventh in the English top flight and level on points with Manchester United. Imagine where they would be if they had a striker capable of scoring 15 goals a season.
Milan, meanwhile, are stuck in the bottom half with their prospects hardly helped by the dismal form of a £30 million centre-forward whose form has fallen off a cliff in the last few months.
Piatek initially looked like the second coming of Andriy Shevchenko when he joined the Rossoneri from Genoa but he is currently in the midst of the worst run of his Serie A career to date. No goals in six games, just three in 14 games overall, the criticism has been relentless and brutal.
According to TMW, though, Piatek has no intention of walking away from Milan just yet and won't be on his way to Crystal Palace either as he feels it would be a backwards step at this stage of his career.
SEE ALSO: 'Absolute powerhouse; won't happen': Some fans react to links with Celtic star
In defence of a striker who broke Gabriel Batistuta's record last season when netting in his first seven Serie A games, even some of the world's great goal-getters have gone through a bit of a dry spell.

29th June 2007 Lesley Croome Films and TV 0
This simple, contemporary American story is, as the director says, based on facts. It's a story of the ordinary life of a young man, a successful gymnast, who suddenly meets a man of Knowledge. He is a strange old man working at the gas station, 'as a service', as he says to the young man, who one night wakes up from a frightening nightmare about having an accident, goes to the gas station and sees the old man doing something absolutely impossible for an ordinary human being, something that the young gymnast would certainly like to achieve.
Without disclosing the plot it is enough to say that the young gymnast becomes a pupil of the old man and is shown something hidden from ordinary eyes about the world and about himself. He goes through a hard time and his teacher gives him tasks against which he mostly rebels. However step by step he discovers for himself fragments of wisdom that will make his life more human and worthy.
The beauty of the film lies in its simplicity and the balance between hidden and ordinary things and between humor and tragedy. The teacher imparts his wisdom in short sentences at important moments or after a certain demonstration of the secret meaning of an event and the resistance inside the young gymnast. As for example when the old man forces the young one to give some thieves all he has, even though they don't ask for it. "They might have killed us", says the young candidate for a warrior but the man of service says: "Death is only a transformation. Death isn't a sad thing. The sad thing is that the most of people don't live at all".
This film evoked a question in me – how far do I myself really live?

Our Search for Meaning


Some people require a little more imagination from their video games than Pokémon Go. There is an enormous online community that is equally as enthusiastic about the worlds they are creating with their imagination in a game called Roblox.
Roblox is the largest user-generated online gaming platform with over 15 million games created by users. The simple concept of going somewhere where you can imagine with your friends has captured the hearts and minds of gamers across the globe.
Over twelve million monthly active users have enjoyed 3.75 billion hours played since 2008. A 50 percent year-over-year increase in revenue is making the family-friendly game impossible to ignore.
Early adopters who have already purchased Oculus Rift are enjoying an entirely immersive experience in Roblox. As the first gaming company to introduce VR compatibility to its social platform, Baszucki is both incredibly proud and excited about the future possibilities. But, equally, believes the industry hasn't scratched the surface of VR's entertainment potential.
The free to play and free to build game aims to be the ultimate place where friends can socialize, hang out, roleplay or just live out their imagination together. Whether it's working in a virtual restaurant, flying through the sky like a bird or survive a tornado, the only limit is your imagination.
Young players are using a combination of learning, communication, and technology to get the most from the game. Friends seem to enjoy creating 3D immersive adventures together on the platform illustrating a much more positive side to gaming that we seldom get to hear about.
Despite the obvious comparisons. Many forget that Roblox was created before Minecraft. More interestingly, it's also growing much more quickly than the well-known sandbox video game.
Roblox delivers a real game changer in providing a cross-platform experience where players on mobile devices, computers, Xbox and now VR all play on the same server seamlessly.
The new and innovative features in the Windows 10 app along with Roblox becoming the most downloaded game on the Xbox one has overwhelmed the CEO. Ultimately, the games biggest strength is the petri dish element it offers users. It's the people playing the game that are creating an alternate universe rather than a team of developers.
With the famous title already passing its 10th anniversary, it's refreshing to see innovation still top of the agenda. Delivering a seamless experience across multiple platforms is also something that should never be underestimated.
Although VR is upping the immersion level, the biggest stars of Roblox are clearly its community. An online meeting place where people of all ages across the world unite to create, learn, build and have fun. Technology and innovation work best when they bring people together. For these reasons alone, it's fantastic to see the world of video games finally being shown in a positive light.
On my podcast, I spoke with David Baszucki, the CEO and Founder of Roblox. We discuss uniting users of all technology platforms along with the power of its user's imagination.

"It is not official until he gets here and signs a contract," Gillispie said.
By Monday, Howard's paper work should be completed, Gillispie said.
"I don't foresee any problems," he said.
Gillispie served as assistant basketball coach at Illinois from 2000 until 2002 on Bill Self's staff. Howard played guard for the Illini from 1999 until 2004.

Newman, Omilabu, Ajala & Merriman Each Set Records at All-Ohio Champs
Case Western Reserve University freshman Olivia Newman, junior Temi Omilabu, freshman Rasheed Ajala and sophomore Sam Merriman each broke records to highlight a slew of strong Spartan performances at the All-Ohio Indoor Championships at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio on Saturday.
Newman, Omilabu and Ajala each broke their own school records in their respective events, while Merriman set a new meet record in the 5,000-meter run. Newman placed second in the 400-meter dash with a mark of 59.22 seconds, besting her previous school-record time of 59.43 seconds in the event. Omilabu became the first woman in program history to reach 17 meters in the weight throw, besting her previous career-best by .46 meters with a toss of exactly 17.00 meters, finishing fourth overall in the event. The throw was also the best in the UAA this season.
Ajala notched a time of 7.13 seconds in the 60-meter dash, besting his school record of 7.16 seconds. He finished ninth overall, and his time ranked as the second-fastest by a UAA competitor this year.
Merriman won the 5,000-meter run on Saturday with a time of 14:45.45. The time cleared the meet record of 14:46.20, previously set by Case Western Reserve's Aaron Johnston-Peck in 2006, and was just over a second shy of Johnston-Peck's program record. In addition, the time was the fastest in the UAA this season.
The four record-setting performances helped the Spartan men finish sixth out of 17 teams with 53 points, while the women finished in ninth place with 34 points. Mount Union won both the men's and women's portions of Saturday's meet.
Other Spartan highlights from the All-Ohio meet included CWRU women's distance medley team of Olivia Zabrodsky, Abby Casalnova, Juliana Ross and Kelsey Aamoth, who finished third with a time of 12:36.79, the fastest mark in the UAA this season. Aamoth also placed third in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 10:16.81, and Hayley Yocum finished fourth in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 18:44.91.
For the men on Saturday, Joe Ledger and Aidan DeSanto finished second and third, respectively, in the mile run, with the former recording a time of 4:21.45, and the latter notching a time of 4:21.47. The men's 4x400-meter relay team of Grant Mlack, Joseph Cabrall, Andrew Ibibo and Nathaniel Wahner finished third with a time of 3:23.86, within half-a-second of the school record for the event. Galen Caldwell added a third-place finish in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 8:43.41, and Ananth Suresh finished second in the triple jump with a mark of 13.14 meters.
Each of the Spartans who earned top-three finishes in their respective events received All-Ohio recognition for their performances.
The Spartans were also in action on Friday, with a group competing at the Mid-February Meet, hosted by Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. The women finished fourth out of 13 teams with 55.5 points, while the men placed 11th out of 15 teams with 19 points.
Spartan women recording top-five finishes at the meet included Karyn Rapundalo in the 3,000-meter run (third, 11:06.19), Shannon Carroll in the 55-meter hurdles (fifth, 9.33 seconds), Elena Polivka in the 1,000-meter run (second, 3:21.19), Rachel Laveson in the 5,000-meter run (second, 18:51.13) and the women's 4x400-meter relay team (fifth, 4:26.76). Top-five finishes for the men came from Mitch Baller in the mile run (fifth, 4:39.29) and Zak Hurd in the 200-meter dash (fifth, 23.65 seconds).
The Spartans will be back in action next weekend at a pair of meets. CWRU will head to the Great Cleveland Colleges Meet at Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio on Friday, February 19th, and then send a group to the Kent State Tune-Up at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio on Saturday, February 20th.

Positive Technologies discovered a critical vulnerability in popular IP cameras
Ilya Smith, a Positive Technologies expert, discovered and helped to fix a critical vulnerability in firmware of Dahua IP cameras, which are widely used for video surveillance in banking, energy, telecommunication, transport, smart home systems, and other areas. This problem affects hundreds of thousands of cameras all over the world produced by Dahua both under its own brand and as OEM models for other brands.
A vulnerability CVE-2017-3223 gained the highest CVSS base score of 10. This security flaw occurs due to buffer overflow in the Sonia web interface designed for remote control of the IP camera. An unauthorised user may submit a crafted POST request to the vulnerable web interface and gain privileged access remotely, which means unlimited control over the IP camera.
"This vulnerability allows any actions with the camera via software: intercept and modify video traffic, add a device into botnet to conduct a DDoS attack like Mirai, and much more. Dahua is the second largest manufacturer of IP cameras and DVR in the world, but the discovered vulnerability can be easily exploited, which once again demonstrates the actual IoT security level," says Ilya Smith, a senior research expert with Positive Technologies.
The vulnerability is discovered in IP cameras with DH_IPC-ACK-Themis_Eng_P_V2.400.0000.14.R.20170713 and older firmware versions. To fix this bug, update the firmware to DH_IPC-Consumer-Zi-Themis_Eng_P_V2.408.0000.11.R.20170621. You can find further information on the CERT website of Carnegie Mellon University.
According to the research by Positive Technologies, malicious users can get access to over 3.5 million IP cameras all over the world. Moreover, about 90 percent of all DVR systems currently used by small and medium-sized businesses for video surveillance contain certain vulnerabilities and thus can be hacked.
This is not the first case of partnership between the two companies. In 2013, Positive Technologies helped to identify and fix multiple vulnerabilities in Dahua DVR.

bristol palin camo levi johnston pt get with it queen elizabeth sarah palin snowbillies top trig trig palin vests weddings
Sarah Palin Is Boycotting Bristol and Levi's Storybook Camo Wedding
Jack Stuef
Famous playwright Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol announced last week that true love does exist as she and Levi Johnston are getting married next month. But it appears Sarah Palin has chosen tragedy andwill not be attending this solemn ceremony, according to a "family friend." Will Bristol and Levi be completely disowned by the Palin clan and no longer be eligible for the co-presidency? Will Sarah sell her prized Trig back to his real mother? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
"It's going to be the wedding of the century in Alaska. Our version of Princess Diana and Prince Charles' wedding," a Palin family friend told me with a straight face. "Everyone would kill to get an invite even if it means having to buy them an expensive gift. It's just too bad that her mother has refused to attend. Although I can't say I blame her after everything that boy has put her through."
Even if it means having to buy them an expensive gift! Wow! That must be a major event, to spend money on those two.
Bristol and Levi are not even asking for money from her parents for their wedding! (As it is being paid for by a gossip magazine? Well, let's hope. Otherwise, those will be some depressing photos.) And they do not even want a gift. A gift! Gifts are the most important part about entering into a union with another person for the rest of your life, as we learn from this family friend.
But, folks, we have a hero:
"With or without Sarah, Todd will be walking his daughter down the aisle," the friend says. "He has been looking forward to this day ever since Bristol was a little girl and wouldn't miss it for anything or anyone."
Aww, Todd is going to put her on his sled and mush her to the altar! Adorable. Almost as adorable as Levi and Tripp's matching camo vests will be.
But why is Sarah Palin being so evil about this? You need to forgive Levi, Sarah. Because if you let the little things get to you, you will miss a whole lot of life, an old lady probably said in a movie one time. What will be the next event she boycotts? Her presidential inauguration? The grand opening of the Sarah Palin Six-Term-Presidential Library and Moose Petroleum Institute? THE RAPTURE?
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO THESE KIDS, SARAH. Look, Team Sarah is down, probably because of evil Wonketters. THIS IS A BAD OMEN. [PopEater]

Q: How to find corners / vertices of Polyhedron Polyhedron $\mathcal{P}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2$, given by the inequalities:
$x_1+2x_2\geq 1,\qquad x_1\geq -1,\qquad x_1-x_2\geq -3,\qquad x_2\geq 1,\qquad -2x_1-x_2\leq 0  $
Giving matrix $A$ and vector $b$, such that $Ax\leq b$:
$$
   A= \begin{pmatrix}
    -1 & -2\\
    -1 & 0\\
    -1 & 1\\
     0 & -1\\
-2&-1
    \end{pmatrix}\qquad,\qquad b=\begin{pmatrix}
    -1\\
    1\\
    3\\
-1\\
0\\
    \end{pmatrix}
$$
How do I proceed to find the corners/vertices of $\mathcal{P}$ ? Thanks for the help

A: The line $x_1+2x_2=1$ splits the $(x_1,x_2)$-plane into two halfplanes. In one of these we have $x_1+2x_2\geq1$. Draw the line on graphed paper, and mark the "good side" with an arrow $\nearrow$ standing orthogonally on the line, or similar. Do this for each of the five conditions. The set ${\cal P}$ consists of all the points that are on the "good side" of every drawn line. You will have to compute some intersection points.


Eating Voodoo Doughnuts that I picked up in Portland during the train's stopover there, at Marcy's suggestion. My favorite was the butterfinger one. Yum!
Attending a punk house show (that's when a collection of bands show up at someone's house, set up in the living room, and play for the benefit of a group of strangers who've also shown up). Imagine a house painted completely black (with some wood trim), decorated with things like a poster of Shirley Temple with "SHIRLEY'S FIRST BLACK EYE" written on it, a slouched crowd of smokers out on the stoop, and punk music booming from inside. A sign on the bathroom door urged you to pee outside. There were three bands that evening, the best one being TacocaT — aside from scoring points for their palindromic name, they write cute/edgy songs mainly from a girl perspective. Check them out!
Playing Urban Golf through the streets of Olympia. This involves dressing up in your best argyle, tweed, or houndstooth and hitting nerf balls with golf clubs on a predefined course. Marcy and I set up the course she'd scouted by duct taping squares of astroturf (to tee off from) and then marking "holes" to aim the balls into. It was an absolutely hilarious time. We got lots of strange looks but only a few comments, and no one called the police. Hooray!
Waving my hand through the water of Puget Sound to trigger bioluminescence. This is completely awesome. Too bad the water's so cold. I can only imagine how phenomenal it would be to SWIM while glowing blue!
Attending a rock concert in hipster bar. I only recently learned what a hipster was! But this place apparently sold the right beer and attracted people with the right fashion sense. The highlight of the evening was a Japanese band called Mugen Hoso, which consisted of two too-cute Japanese guys in the middle of their "BIG BANG! BANG! BANG!" tour. They'd driven 40 hours from Austin, TX, to arrive 5 hours before this concert, but were buzzing with energy and played their hearts out. So charming, so rockin', so cute!
Climbing up on a bench to escape a moshing crowd. At first I thought Mugen Hoso had inspired some massive brawl, but it turned out that the people were intentionally slamming into each other and apparently enjoying it. Beer quickly slicked the floor, and it got harder to pay attention to the band. Even though I had a great view from the bench, I had to be ready to catch and push back on random bodies that came flying at the bench. Headbanging I'd seen before, but this? Wow.
Watching salmon prepare to head upstream, and seeing a "fish ladder" that helps them get past a dam. Wow, those salmon are huge! We also saw seals swimming around them ready to catch a meal, and blue herons winging all over — beautiful.
Cutting someone else's hair. I got to use a comb and scissors, just like a pro! Marcy is a brave, brave woman.
Attending a party where I was the only one without a tattoo. Well, okay, I think Marcy is also tat-less, but we were definitely the only ones. Turns out that tattoos don't keep people from wanting to play croquet, though!
Mutton Bustin'. Technically I didn't actually get to see this, although we did call up some videos. Marcy and I met up with a high school friend of mine who talked about how her son had just won 3rd place in a Mutton Bustin' competition at the fair. This is a sport in which small boys are put on sheep (yes, sheep), then the sheep is tickled and prodded into a frenzy, and then they are let out into a yard where the boy tries to cling to the sheep and not get bucked off. Wow!
Being in a comic strip. That's right, one of Marcy's friends who also golfed with us, Chelsea Baker, is an illustrator and comic artist. She created this summary of Urban Golf, and I ended up in it!
That's me with the hat and argyle sweater over my shoulders.
Now that's an incredible, learning-filled weekend!


Built in 1945 by Marvin Rummel, the Rummel Hotel is situated just north of The Strip, near the Stratosphere. In 1958, it was purchased by Ralph and Treva Roles. Ralph and Treva met in 1952 and married in the Little Church of the West. When Rummel was looking for someone to take over the Rummel Motel, he courted and convinced Roles to leave his family's motels and take over the Rummel Motel. The Roles ran the motel until the late 1970's.
Since dozens of motels were beginning to pop up along Highway 91, the Roles needed to differentiate The Rummel Motel from the others. To do this, they began passing out "fun books" to their guests, who could take the coupons to the casinos on The Strip and exchange them for food, nickel slots and souvenirs. The Roles also installed a heated outdoor pool, providing an opportunity for guests to be able to swim year round.
Currently, the motel is under renovation. It sustained mild damaged in a fire in April, 2017.
Interesting trivia about the Roles. They met while on a trip to Mount Charles in 1952 and were married a few months later at the Little Church of the West (one of the oldest still active wedding chapels in Vegas). The Roles were no strangers to either Vegas or the motel business. Treva's family moved to the Vegas area in the 1940's and owned the Del Mar Motel, while Ralph's family owned and operated the Fair Price. Ralph Roles was a professional bowler, forming the Southern Nevada Bowler's Association.
