For some time now "Strobist" community was one of the rapidly growing photography communities, all thanks to David Hobby of Strobist.com who started sharing his knowledge of using off-camera flash. And when it comes to photography gear, camera flashes are not as cheap as people would think. Some models of more then 20 years old still hold more then 75% of their value. So is there a cheaper flash unit that can stand up with well known Canon and Nikon models? Maybe there is. YN-460 II.

First version of YN-460 hasn't really delivered in built quality, flash power consistency nor electronic circuit, but YN-460 II hit the spot and it is indeed an upgraded version. It has all you might ask of a good camera flash. Here are some of the more important flash spec:

• flash power of GN 38 at ISO 100
• manual mode: full power to 1/64 with 1/7 step increments
• 2 optical slave modes: s1, s2
• wide angle diffuser
• standby and auto-power off after 30 min
• swivel and tilt head
• fast recycle time: 4.5sec with NiMH 4xAA

If you are looking for a cheap but well made flash unit with manual power, look no more. Of course, this flash is not for those dSLR users who shoot 95% of their time in Full Auto mode, as they will need a camera flash that supports TTL technology. But for all those who are willing to experiment with off-camera flash, this is a good place to start.

I must admit I was a bit skeptical about the S2 slave mode, which was supposed to sync with Canon or Nikon ttl system. And I must say, it works perfectly. So even if you have a dedicated camera flash you can still sync yn-460 via optical slave in S2 mode. S1 mode is a standard slave mode which will not take into consideration all the pre-flashes.

Although today everything is manufactured in China, this is a true "Chinese product made in China". But you will find that the built quality is really solid and if you keep it in the protective pouch that it came with I'm sure it will serve you for a long time.

The one thing needing improvement is battery doors which are a bit loose until you put batteries in. Then they are quite solid. PC sync port is a bit too much to ask for an average price of an 50$ on ebay. I've been so impressed that I got myself another one within the first month of having my first YN-460II camera flash.

As with every piece of photography equipment, it requires proper care and handling so be sure to read the user manual provided with YN 460 II camera flash.

14 Foreign Blue Chip Stocks With 5%+ Dividends

14 Foreign Blue Chip Stocks With 5%+ Dividends

 

The Fed model compares the forward earnings yield of the stock market with 10-year government bond yields.  The model assumes that investors view stocks and bonds as competing assets and will purchase whichever asset has a higher yield, according to an article in Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance May 2009 issue.

 

Income investors will always be in a dilemma over whether to purchase fixed income securities such as bonds, or to buy stocks with competitive yields. Companies that pay generous dividends tend to perform well in an era of mild inflation.

 

More than half of the total global stock market capitalization is outside of US borders.  The reason to have foreign dividend-paying stocks is for income and growth from economies globally, especially in an environment that features a weakening US dollar.

 

14 ADRs With 5%+ Dividends

 

Prospective foreign companies often come to the US for financing, and that means a greater number of investment opportunities for income investors in ADRs.  I went over all foreign companies listed on US exchanges (NASDAQ and NYSE). The following are ADRs with dividends higher than 5%, market caps greater than $1 billion, and forward P/E lower than 15:

Not surprisingly, these companies are either in the telecom sector or energy related industries. They yield plenty, and many have some solid fundamentals to vouch for as well.

 

Telecom

The US telecom market is mature with very little growth out there.  However, there are still more opportunities for foreign telecom companies, especially in emerging markets.

 

Magyar Telekom (MTA) provides telecommunication services in Hungary and internationally.  Partner Communications (PTNR) operates a mobile telecommunications network in Israel.  Hellenic Telecommunications (OTE) is a telecommunications services provider in Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, and Romania.

 

Mobile Telesystems (MBT), the Russian mobile telecom company, became a mobile/land-line provider this week with the purchase of COMSTAR-UTS.  This gives it an entry into broadband - one of the country's underdeveloped markets.  Russia has vast stores of oil and gold, the world’s 3rd largest currency reserves, and a relatively low net debt-to-GDP ratio.

 

Telecom Corp. of New Zealand Ltd. (NZT), Deutsche Telekom (DT), FRANCE TELECOM (FTE) and Telefonica SA (TEF) are all in developed markets.  Portugal Telecom (PT) is investing heavily in a fiber network and TV service in Portugal and in 3G & 3.5G technology in Brazil.

 

Utilities/Energy

 

Enersis S.A. (ENI) engages in electric power generation in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru.  CPFL Energia S.A (CPL) serves residential, industrial, and commercial customers in Brazil.  Ecopetrol S.A. (EC) is a crude oil and gas giant in Columbia.

Conclusion

 

An investor who missed the 10 best performance days out of 110,000 trading days would have had a portfolio that was 69% less valuable than a passive portfolio.  Avoiding the 10 worst days would have resulted in a portfolio that was 337% more valuable than a passive investment, according to an article titled “Black Swans in Emerging Markets” in Journal of Investing Summer 2009 issue.

 

When a crisis strikes, the people who sell first get the best price, if they can move ahead of a wave of forced sales.  If you are not a trader or can’t time the market, the best way is to find solid-yielding companies and stay invested.

 

Fundamental metrics such as P/E and dividend yields are too narrowly focused to stand alone as a single measure of a stock.  Inconsistent dividends in the past mean that the dividend yields can't be counted on.  By combining different methods of valuation, you can get a better view of a company.

what is meant by ping?

when u type ping and the ip adress a black window will be opened with some message on it . i didn't understand that it was some rhing like TTL<128 is that number is the speed of the connectin iam using?

This basically means that you are trying to check whether the remote machine (that hosts a website) is up and running or not?
Is it responding to your requests or not.
TTL is time to leave -nothing to do with your net speed.
response time has something to do with the speed of your internet connection.
