A Waterproof, Interchangeable-Lens Camera

Photographers typically have two options when shooting underwater: double the size of their D-SLR with an expensive submersible housing or opt for a waterproof point-and-shoot with the image quality of, well, a point-and-shoot. Mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, such as the Nikon 1 AW1, produce D-SLR–quality images minus the delicate moving parts of D-SLRs themselves. The compact internals allow engineers to ruggedize and seal the camera without adding much bulk. Internal Zoom When a lens zooms, small crevices between the stacked components open. The entire AW1 lens is enclosed in a sealed barrel. As the camera zooms—up to 27.5 millimeters—all the parts remain protected. Watertight Mount The lens mount on the AW1 is raised about six millimeters above the camera body. Lenses slip over it and into a groove in the housing. A greased rubber O-ring fills in any gap between the two pieces. Underwater Flash The AW1’s pop-up flash can illuminate up to 16 feet of seawater ahead of the diver. The bulb is attached to a sealed two-joint hinge. Power travels from the camera body through insulated wires. Secure Doors To ensure that the doors to the SD card and battery compartments won’t open underwater, designers added two-button locking mechanisms and lined each door with rubber gaskets. Protective Case The housing is a composite of stainless steel and polycarbonate, which protects the camera—and its three-inch LCD—if it drops. Every seam is backed with rubber, too. Nikon 1 AW1 Water resistance: 49 feet

Wachaga walianza kuhamia kwenye miteremko ya Mlima Kilimanjaro kwenye karne ya 17. Walipofika wakiwa katika vikundi vidogovidogo waliwakuta wakazi, wenyeji kwenye Misitu ya Mlima Kilimanjaro walioitwa Wakonyingo. Wenyeji hawa ambao huitwa Mbilikimo hawakupenda kuchanganyika na wahamiaji wageni, hivyo wakahama na kuanzisha makao yao ya kudumu kwenye misitu minene iliyopo nchini Kongo. Wachagga ni kabila la watu wenye asili ya Kibantu lakini pia mchanganyiko wa damu, hasa ya Kikushi wanaoishi kaskazini mwa Tanzania chini ya mlima Kilimanjaro, mkoani Kilimanjaro.Shughuli kubwa ya Wachagga ni biashara na kilimo.Wachagga ni kabila la tatu kwa ukubwa nchini Tanzania.

Je!!!!!! unapenda kufahamu SANDUKU LA AGANO LIKO WAPI?????????

SANDUKU LA AGANO LIKO WAPI? Huu ni mfano wa sanduku la agano ambalo wana wa Israel waliambiwa watengeneze na Mussa wakiwa nyikani wakitoka Egypt ( Misri ) wakielekea promised land ( Nchi ya ahadi ). Sanduku hilo lilikuwa ni kama box la mbao lililotengenezwa na aina moja ya mbao inayoitwa ( acacia wood ) iliyofunikwa na dhahabu. Lilikuwa la urefu wa 1.15 metres, upana wa 0.7 metres na kimo cha 0.7 metres. Ilikuwa inabebwa na mishikio miwili mirefu ambayo ilikuwa imetengenezwa kwa mbao hiyo ya acasia ambazo pia zilikuwa zimefunikwa na dhahabu. Juu ya sanduku kuliwekwa makerubi wawili waliokuwa wamegeukiana mabawa yao yakiwa yamegusana. Uwepo wa Mungu haukuwepo ndani ya sanduku bali ulikuwa juu yake katikati ya hao makerubi. Uwepo wa Mungu juu ya sanduku hilo ulikuwa kama nuru. Kuhani mkuu alipaswa kufunika macho asiione nuru hiyo (" hakuna mwanadamu anionaye na akaishi" Kutoka 33 : 20) kila alipokuwa akiingia lilipokuwa sanduku ambapo ni patakatifu pa patakatif...
