Review by Dustin Heller
The Good Dinosaur is the latest 3D computer-animated film from Pixar Animation Studios; the same studio that has brought us many classic children's films such as the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, Up, WALL-E, Monster's Inc. and Monsters University just to name a few. The film is directed by Peter Sohn and stars Raymond Ochoa, Jack Bright, Sam Elliott, Anna Paquin, A. J. Buckley, Steve Zahn, Frances McDormand, Jeffrey Wright, and Marcus Scribner. 2015 marks the first time that Pixar has released two films in the same year with The Good Dinosaur and the summer hit Inside Out.
A young dinosaur name Arlo is the pipsqueak of his family and afraid of everything. He is trying to make his mark in life, but he can't seem to overcome his fears until one day he is swept up in the current of the river and taken far away from his home. On his own for the first time in his life, he must now fend for himself and find his way back home no matter how afraid he might be.
To help him on his journey, he meets a human caveboy and names him Spot. Spot is fearless and has a nose for finding things, which includes trouble at times. Along the way of their journey home, the pair encounter a number of obstacles and unfriendly characters, but they can overcome anything as long as they are brave and stick together.
Pixar has done it again, and The Good Dinosaur might just be their most visually stunning movie to date. It is going to be a crowd pleaser for audiences of all ages. The story is very sweet and heartwarming although somewhat unoriginal, and the characters are impossible not to fall in love with. The animation is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen with breathtaking panoramic views and crazy looking creatures. The music is pretty heavy-handed, but is effective especially for the younger audience members.
Maybe the thing that surprised me the most about The Good Dinosaur was the lack of comedy. Pixar movies are usually chock-full of laughs, but that wasn't the case here. The movie was entertaining enough to overcome this, but it could have made it even that much better. When all is said and done, The Good Dinosaur is another home run from the studio that turns almost everything it touches into gold. This is a fantastic movie for the entire family to see over the holiday season.
Grade: B+
The Good Dinosaur opened in theaters on Wednesday, November 25

Style has no size. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. It is actually quite passé and more so politically incorrect to assume that only thin is in. In this time when 'loving yourself to fullness' and the discussions about body positivity fill the air, it is now liberating and celebratory to love 'your curves and all your edges'. It's not about what size you wear, it's that you are one of a kind.
Fuller figure models are now ruling the roost making covers of magazines and redefining standards of good health and images of beauty. Supermodel Ashley Graham's fight with Fox and ABC, for banning her Lane Bryant Lingerie commercial, on the premise of her alternative stereotype, raises the double standards which plague our beauty/fashion industry and bear testimony to the existing dichotomy with respect to beauty ideals.
Right here in Trinidad and Tobago, fashion buyer, Londa Young, herself a fuller figure woman, loves catering to "curvy ladies", as she puts it. She points out that her consistent client is "a tad fuller-of-form, and as we wittily say, "pulchritudinous". Operating from her fashion hub, Lon's Fashions, she rallies a special clientele ㅡ a wide cross section of fashionable and, for the want of a better word, 'mature' women who leave it up to her to shop for them.
This vivacious fashion buyer prides herself on selecting one-of-a-kind trendsetting ensembles, conversation-opener coordinates and individual statement pieces which speak to the fashion tastes of our cosmopolitan diversity. On occasion, I stop by her Barataria outlet, a nerve centre 'liming spot', of sorts, to vibe from the spawning of a slew of fashionable exchange - health tips, holistic regimen insights, styling advice, image consultancy and on-call fittings of her recent imports, all fuelled with interactive commentary and confidence-boosting camaraderie. I swear Lonz, as she is affectionately called, is a local matriarch of a fashion parlour quite similar to those eighteenth-century Parisienne society salons, where new trends were determined and empowerment initiatives were formulated.
One such initiative, she plans to host at the Government Campus Plaza on August 4th, at 5 pm. Lonz believes that fashion and social responsibility go hand in hand. She gives new meaning to the adage "style comes in all shapes and sizes" and stresses that we should appreciate the concept of 'one-of-a-kind beauty', in its fullest context. She has set in motion a drive to assist Inspired Minds Institute, a school of extraordinary children with learning disabilities. She sees them as truly one-of-a-kind children.
The principal of the school, Nadira Muhammad, is thrilled that Lonz has correlated her personal concept of fitting the unique needs of her client-base with the outfitting of the special needs of this institution. In so doing, she is serving to raise awareness of the Institute's mission as well as to raise funds to equip the school with essential infrastructure. "One size does not fit all, for style has no size," she quips. "We all have to do our part to make a difference, to love ourselves to fullness."
The presentation, 'I'm Style, Irreplaceable me' will feature plus-size models in one-of-a-kind looks, complemented by stylish ready-to-wear composites for straight-size models, all available at her uncommon boutique. Supporting fashion houses for this distinctive initiative are the sartorial Caribbean swag of DAWW Creations' menswear by bespoke tailor, Marlon George, and the trailblazing Afro-Caribbean style of Mahogany Stuff by fashion designer, Julia Clarke, under the creative direction of yours truly.

Bente's Leaving
Prof. Bente Maegaard, currently Director of the Centre for Language Technology at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, stepped down as President of the EAMT at the General Assembly Meeting which took place at EAMT-09 in Barcelona last week. Bente has been a Member of the Executive Committee of EAMT from 1995, and its President from 2004-2009.
At the same meeting, Viggo Hansen stepped down as Secretary of the EAMT, a position he has held since 1995. Viggo will remain as a co-opted member of the EAMT Committee for the next 12 months as the local organizer of EAMT-2010, to take place in St. Raphaël, France, on 27-28 May.
The new President of EAMT is Prof. Andy Way, of the School of Computing at Dublin City University, Ireland. The new Secretary of EAMT is Prof. Mikel Forcada, of the Departament de Llenguatges i Sistemes Informàtics at the Universitat d'Alacant, Spain. Both Andy and Mikel have served as regular members of the EAMT Committee in the recent past.
We are extremely grateful to both Bente and Viggo for their many years of sterling service to our Association, as well as to the IAMT, and to the MT Community as a whole. At EAMT-09 in Barcelona last week, both were presented with tokens of our appreciation, and received a sustained round of applause from the conference attendees, but it is entirely fitting to thank them for their hard work on behalf of all of us in a more public forum still.

Thanks edds for all your hard work and patience during the transfer window. Some of you probably still have the ice packs against your head.
Quick question in relation to Lemar, reported in some papers today that Wenger will go in for him again in January.
Was Liverpools interest in him fabricated by Monaco or was it genuine?
Apologies if it's been dealt with but since the window closed I'm trying to convince my boss that I am good at my job and don't deserved to be sacked so time on your site is limited.
{Ed002's Note - I explained Liverpool's interest and it was there. And Arsenal will almost certainly continue to talk with Monaco, who accepted their offer, and the player's representatives, who they did not put a firm offer to, in order to see what can be done in January or next summer. They fear Barcelona stepping in. And why would Monaco fabricate anything about a player they really don't want to sell?}
1.) 08 Sep 2017 10:40:44
Hello Ed02, Do you think Liverpool looking at him again in January. I don't know about the future of Coutinho ( if he would continue to angle a move ) in case he would be the replacement!
{Ed002's Note - Right now I don't think Liverpool will be looking at him in January.}
2.) 08 Sep 2017 13:29:10
I'd expect us to go for someone more like Meyer or Brandt now.
Lemar will be cup tied and 92mill for someone cup tied would seems steep for me. Just an opinion tho.
3.) 08 Sep 2017 13:30:05
Liverpool will look to Lemar if Coutinho leaves next summer. If Arsenal or another club snap him up in January, then our bad luck.
There is no space in the squad to accommodate Lemar if Coutinho stays. Its one or the other.
4.) 08 Sep 2017 14:03:05
I still think we should sign Snoop Dog instead 👀.
5.) 08 Sep 2017 14:04:22
Thanks Ed02.
6.) 08 Sep 2017 15:03:58
Liverpool will look at him if Barcelona look at Coutinho.
7.) 08 Sep 2017 16:40:14
*Shock Horror*
Are we saying that Coutinho to Barcelona wasn't a one-time only opportunity?
8.) 08 Sep 2017 17:56:42
Ed can I ask why you think that mate please? Appreciate January is a long way off but seems odd you think we wint return for a player who we clearly wanted, especially as when Couts might be gone?
{Ed002's Note - It was simply a knee jerk reaction for a player who Liverpool had not courted in response to the Coutinho situation and Klopp not managing to bring in any one of his four targets for this season. As I have explained, Arsenal will return and the fear they have is of Barcelona making a concerted effort to sign him.}
9.) 08 Sep 2017 20:22:17
Klopp has said before that only if the right player becomes available, not 2nd best fit,
So unless PSG or Sthmptn have a change of heart, (very doubtful)
I don't think there will be any incomings this January,
Hopefully with the addition of Robertson and the emergence of TTA and Gomez our defence will be meaner than last year.
10.) 08 Sep 2017 20:19:43
Keita, Brandt, VVD who was the 4th target?
{Ed002's Note - Sessegnon.}
11.) 08 Sep 2017 22:37:33
Do Barcelona see Lemar as an Alternative to Couts ed? Was it now or never ultimatum for Couts from Barca?
{Ed002's Note - Done to death.}

Will Firmino be fit for the final?
{Ed0333's Note - I'd say affirmative to that mate.
1.) 08 May 2019 15:35:35
How would you drop Origi . Klopp will have a real headache, assuming Salah will be back too. I'm not sure for Shaq, but Salah, Mane, Firmino and Origi, d*mn.
2.) 08 May 2019 16:10:02
The front three will start IMO if all are fit. They are our bread and butter and should stay that way. The likes of Shaq and Origi have done us proud and that should be commended to the fullest. That does not remove from the fact that we are a much better team with the front three fit and firing. Just my opinion.
3.) 08 May 2019 16:55:46
I am pretty sure that, if fit, Mo, Bobby and Sadio will start the CL final. Divock is today's hero but let's not forget exactly what the Three Amigos have done over the last 2 seasons. With a likely back five of Alisson, TAA, Matip, VVD and Robbo that just leaves the midfield to sort out. My personal choice would be Fab, Hendo and Wijnaldum - sadly, Keita will miss out through injury. The likes of Millie, Gomez, Origi, the Ox and Origi will form a really strong bench.
Incidentally, Fab, Hendo and Wijnaldum have something in common. Apart from all 3 putting in awesome performances last night, all 3 have also been singled out by some posters as 'not good enough for Liverpool' during the earlier part of this season. I take it we will not see that nonsense ever again.
4.) 08 May 2019 19:49:27
WW, don't bet on not seeing that nonsense again on these boards. The haters and moaners have nothing else to do BUT that as in, to moan for NO apparent reason.
5.) 08 May 2019 20:17:38
Origi was excellent as were all the players last night. Salah, Mane and firmino are in my opinion the best forward line in Europe. All 3 must start if fit as Liverpool really need to win this trophy. I think Firminos goals and assists in Europe are excellent this season too.
19 Feb 2019 10:30:39
A lot of people on here bemoaning the injuries and illnesses the squad are enduring at the moment (and rightly so maybe) but we are still well placed in the league and playing in the last 16 of the c/ l this evening.
It will be a huge boost to the squad and at exactly the right time of the season when these players start returning to full fitness. It will be as if we weathered the storm. They will be like new signings.
Sometimes if it's for you it won't pass you by no matter how hard the going gets. It's ours people YNWA.
1.) 19 Feb 2019 10:50:22
I agree, our big players will be coming back to full fitness for the run on. Our first 11 have been well rested this month and even through January. I don't see burn out being a problem. Pressure will be the problem if any. But I think klopp has the team pretty cool. I'm glad Keita starts tonight alongside gini. And I think hendo playing in front of fab and matip should be okay.
2.) 19 Feb 2019 18:49:21
I'm not bemoaning injuries or illness to our squad even tho it can be very frustrating. Why? Every team has them during a season so this is nothing new. The good thing is that this team and manager refuse to quit nor be beaten. They continue to rise above the type of adversity that would have left other LFC teams of the past, finished at this stage (See Houllier's team of 2002/ 2003 season) .
Our team will be at full pelt in a couple of weeks and then, you just go for it and don't look back. Either we're going to win the PL title or we're going to fail giving it our utter best shot.
04 Jan 2019 10:22:10
Not many teams (in the world) would have coped with City last night. Don't forget we were playing the reigning champions who broke all sorts of records winning it last season. They were really up for it. Didn't give our lads any time on the ball.
We played well but weren't allowed to pick our passes as we normally are hence the amount of times we gave the ball away or just hoofed it out for a throw.
We will bounce back though YNWA.
1.) 04 Jan 2019 11:04:46
OP, I thought we contained them pretty well (which was the game plan hence, the team Klopp picked) if you believe that allowing them one shot on target (Aguero's freak goal) containing or stifling them. David Silva was a non-factor as well which is massive in such a game. City pressed us well and did not allow us time on the ball. Whay is that so surprising? They are a pressing team tho they do it in a diff. way than we do.
They gave the ball away a tonne as well and it is on one of those giveaways that Kompany fouled Salah while thru on goal and should have been sent off with a more competent ref at the helm. All that said, City won on split decision and we are still top with 4 points and I can live with that. The issue now is how do we reaction to this speed bump. We shall see.
2.) 04 Jan 2019 11:28:12
Redwolf have Liverpool ever lost a game and you didn't have an excuse. Freak goal, incompetent Ref etc. Do you believe we should have been down to 10 men against Napoli or in your eyes was Vvds tackle a good one that night?
3.) 04 Jan 2019 12:22:18
JK VVD's tackle was completely different. He got the ball and his follow through caught the player. Also his leg was a sweeping action not a stamping action it was just as he slid the player's planted his leg in front of him and got caught. Unfortunate yes but no more a foul than Ben Mee on Gomez (which I didn't think was a foul) .
Kompany's was a desperate lunge, studs up, nowhere near the ball and extremely dangerous. Had Salah's leg been planted it would've been snapped in two.
Worse than someone who makes excuses for defeats is someone who looks for reasons to criticise and tries to justify it with a nonsense comparison.
4.) 04 Jan 2019 12:55:50
Cheers for your input Bobby and yet another excuse.
5.) 04 Jan 2019 12:58:37
JK23, if you think stating or using facts to support my opinion, is making excuses then for sure, that is what I am doing. Complete bull, really! Do you know what a split decision in boxing means? It means it was an even fight but one guy landed slightly more punches than the other. The same analogy applies here, IMO.
You prolly want to try using facts some time to support your opinion instead of making pathetic comparisons that have NO bearing on the topic at hand. You think we did not play well. I think we did based on what we set out to do which was to stifle them. The non call on the tackle on Salah influenced the game (not THE reason we lost as that is stupid) . You say VVD should have been sent off vs Napoli. These are all diff. of a opinions, not excuses. You prolly want to learn the diff. Oh and by the way, your VVD comparison just got royally debunked by Bobby's Blinders and did not even have to break a sweat doing it. Love your posts, btw. Cheers, man.
6.) 04 Jan 2019 13:37:12
Redwolf what facts have you stated they are your opinions. Just to let you know klopp wasnt happy with the midfield as he was berating them most of the match. Then he substituted them. We lost the game it happens end of. Will we win the league who knows but were in with a good chance.
7.) 04 Jan 2019 13:32:46
Redwolf, I'm a little confused by that mate.
1. The only fact I saw was the qualified referee didn't send Kompany off.
2. I never said VVD should have been sent off against Napoli. I asked if you thought he should have been sent off.
3. What is debunked? Feel like we are in a school yard argument and because 1 person has backed you then that means you have won.
8.) 04 Jan 2019 15:16:34
JK23, You made that VVD comparison. I did not and if you did not think it was a comparison, why bring it up? And it was royally debunked. VVD should not have been sent off cos he got the ball full on and his momentum caused the clash with Mertens' ankle. The ref did not send him off and even Ancelotti did not make a fuss about it either.
Also, One person backing me means nothing as I can speak for myself. I said that cos I was going to say the same thing BB said BUT he said it better than I would have. No school yard stuff here, bro. Just a passionate debate.
Oh P1, cos Klopp was angry at the midfield cos they were not doing the right thing during certain spells of the game means absolutely nothing cos I was not happy about it either. Cheers, mates.
9.) 04 Jan 2019 23:53:34
Redwolf we will have to agree to disagree then mate. I used the VVD to make the point that we can't have our cake and eat it. For me both challenges could have been red cards but neither were given. You say the ref didn't send VVD off so that must mean it was the right decision. But the ref didn't send Kompany off last night either but you say that was the wrong decision. So which one is it. Ps I also have no idea what debunked means mate.
12 Dec 2018 13:30:34
Brilliant result last night. As well as getting through to the last 16 we avoided Thursday night football.
This is purely my own opinion so please don't hang me out to dry but I felt Hendo, Milner and Jini uncharacteristically gave the ball away far to often. Ok they were under pressure from a good side but when they had time they gave it away to easily. Van Dijk had to rollock them on a few occasions. We missed easy chances when we could have closed the game out. And that save from Alisson at the end, well it was straight at him.
Only reason I'm mentioning these points is had Napoli scored with that last gasp chance people would be on here tearing the team to bits for all the silly mistakes.
Other than that it was an unbelievable night lol.
On another note, can the club consider an appeal of van Dijks yellow because of the fact there was no intent other than to win the ball?
{Ed001's Note - that has been dealt with and it is boring now. Could you not just read down the page?}
1.) 12 Dec 2018 13:41:37
To quote a referee
The declaration by a player that he or she "got the ball first" is irrelevant if, while tackling for the ball, the player carelessly, recklessly, or with excessive force commits any of the prohibited actions
VVD went studs up into the oppositions leg and could have caused injury, making it a reckless challenge regardless of whether he got the ball first. a clear foul
Verratti did the same in the first leg and arguably both were borderline red cards but evened out in the end. move on.
2.) 12 Dec 2018 13:54:18
Agree about the giving away the ball part. I thought we played terrific football but there seemed to be an uncharacteristically large number of misplaced passes last night.
3.) 12 Dec 2018 17:00:04
Can we not just enjoy a great night verdo. We were under so much pressure weeks before a ball was even kick so we are not going play quite right.
On to Sunday. 🤷🏼♂.
4.) 12 Dec 2018 17:56:30
I enjoyed the night alright Longthing76 but only from 10pm on lol.
Apologies to ED001 for boring you and not reading down the posts. Must remember from now on during my 30 minutes of lunch break to cut out the eating part and read all posts before posting myself.
{Ed001's Note - that would be better than repetitive posts dealing with the same thing yet again.}
5.) 12 Dec 2018 18:18:07
If you're busy during your lunch break, wait til you've got more time to reply.
6.) 12 Dec 2018 19:01:11
Just make sure you let Ed know it's lunch break so he can drop everything to answer in time for you as well. Or, eat with your mouth, read with your eyes. Or, just wait. Or, get a job with a longer lunch break so you don't have to prioritise sustainance over Liverpool.
12 Nov 2018 13:20:03
Only 2 points behind City at the top but they are a huge 2 points. Feel more like 5 for some reason.
1.) 12 Nov 2018 13:56:54
What? 2 points are 2 points mate. It's nothing.
2.) 12 Nov 2018 14:21:54
It's more like 2.5 point with goal difference.
3.) 12 Nov 2018 14:22:10
This makes absolutely zero sense 😂.
4.) 12 Nov 2018 14:48:21
Math teachers globally are miserably failing their jobs if 5 feels like 2. That's all I have to say.
5.) 12 Nov 2018 15:01:12
Manchester City haven't played Chelsea in the league yet. Easily the next best team after us, lots of football to be played and lots of points to be dropped.
As LiverpoolFC8 put it, Manchester City have had an absurdly good start to the season. But they're only two points ahead of a team that hasn't even gotten into second gear. let's see how we're look in February when the team is gelling.
6.) 12 Nov 2018 15:03:59
Even if we were level on points still second on goal difference so it no major issue if we go by last season we were to far back come Christmas if we are touching distance in January I fancy our chances.
7.) 12 Nov 2018 15:48:39
Don't worry guys Chelsea will do us a favour, we just need to continue beating the dross and see where we are after 1st round of the season😊 we just need to enjoy the ride 🔴🔴.
8.) 12 Nov 2018 16:17:33
I think the Xmas games may be the proving ground for all the top 6 teams.
9.) 12 Nov 2018 18:53:59
Had LFC won the PL under BR, we would have won it while having an inferior goal difference to City's so the GD is of no relevance PROVIDED we have the points advantage.
As for City, they have had a great start to the season BUT people forget that they have actually dropped more points (4 overall) than they did at this point last season (2). Also, Pep's teams are known to hit a burnout stage near the end of the season as he did with Barca, Bayern and even City last season. Why? Cos Pep does NOT rotate and never has.
The diff. last season was that they were already well ahead of the pack and also, teams would never go at them, UNTIL Klopp and LFC did and we know what happened there in all 3 occasions we played them after the winter and spring. They will falter and it will be up to us to capitalize.
{Ed025's Note - at the moment brover i think this is you hoping rather than anything mate, city look very strong and have some excellent back up,s to step in when required so i dont think your assessment holds much water, yes he does play his strongest side but that is surely to his credit and they have top players to come in even if things do go wrong, liverpool have a strong first team which is not that much weaker than citys but anyone they bring in weakens the side as the squad depth is very much inferior to theirs, this is just my opinion of course...peace..
10.) 12 Nov 2018 20:50:26
Ed25, you are having a conversation that I am not having. I never said City did not look strong nor did not have a better squad. I said they drop off during the season cos Pep does not rotate and gave you an example of this and it is the same with all Pep's teams since Barca. Will that happen this season? Of course I hope so. What were you expecting me to say? Of course we are all hoping for things to go our way cos after all, no one is sure of anything.
Also, you say he plays his strongest lineup. That is to some extent true but it is by choice. Last season, Pep complained that he was lacking depth when they drew at Burnley and they have only added Mahrez this season so again, where is the depth then? It is he who does not play the squad players and not that he does not have the squad cos It all depends on who Pep trusts and clearly he does not trust Jesus, Zinchenko, Delph, Kompany, and has no replacement for Fernandinho.
City has a better squad than we do cos they have been chopping and changing good players for years. We are still young in the tooth on that level so you are stating the obvious here, man. Will we win the PL over City? I don't know cos anything can happen. We all live in hope and that is all we have right now.

I'll just add that despite my admiration for Guardiola, I've always felt that for some reason he has never been able to instill supreme mental toughness into his teams. The way Mourinho does, or the way Ferguson did. You don't get that "we refuse to be beaten" vibe from Guadiola's players. He's a master in the tactical aspects of the game and in choosing players (while having an open checkbook at his disposal), but his teams can buckle when the pressure is really high.
It was not by coincidence that we eliminated them last year in the UCL. It's irrelevant it was a different competition; the football fields were the same, the country was the same and the players were the same, as were being played in the EPL. Klopp simply did a better job of instilling mental toughness and focus in LFC.
So ManC can be flying high right now, but they can wobble at any moment under the right circumstances, and it could be enough for us to sneak through to the final prize,

With regard to my original post please try and read between the lines. Point I was trying to make is that City are a fantastic squad and we will have to be flawless for the rest of the season to make those 2 points up.

100% agree stemfr. You need to be a big boy to comment on here sometimes with the way comments are ripped to shreds (not always by the Eds) . Of course the Eds are entitled to get narky every now and again. When dealing with the public it's inevitable.
Just another observation with regard to the site, typing a comment takes an age because the site becomes unresponsive. Anyone else have this issue? .

No amount of money can buy Milners experience, dedication and heart.
Said it during the game on Tuesday that when he does leave he will be sorely missed.

Surely by now professional players understand that with the amount of games that have to be played each season demanding game time from a potential new club is ludicrous. Different systems to counteract different opponents etc automatically dictates players have to be rotated.
09 Apr 2019 10:24:18
Wouldn't have said it a few months back but I do now think TAA should move to midfield. Getting caught too far up now on too many occasions. Maybe tiredness or a niggle could explain it but it is an issue.
20 Aug 2019 10:20:27
Perhaps they feel its worth trying as VAR will help with those very close calls. Just my opinion.
26 Jul 2019 11:19:20
I get your point 6Times but stadia get their souls from important victories and devastating loses over a long period of time. New builds require time to gain a soul.
That is why we are so lucky to have Anfield, it's soul is huge and has brought big clubs to their knees in the past and hopefully will continue to do so in the future. YNWA.

Heard a rumour that, none of the Everton players have a passport as they don't need one. Any truth in it? wink wink.
02 Jul 2019 10:25:07
My own humble opinion Potclay with Utd and Fergie was they went and sorted the area that was weakest the previous season (seems the obvious thing to do but not all clubs do it) . A very simple transfer strategy but was very effective. For example, in Fergies second last season they lost the title on goal difference to City. Van Persie was top scorer that season so Utd went out and bought him. The rest is history as they say.
Again my own opinion but I felt that during Utds dominance if one of their closest rivals were interested in a good player Utd would always try and sabotage the deal by either buying the player themselves to make sure their rival didn't strengthen their squad or by making sure they made them pay more than they initially intended.

I was directed to your blog via Cold Hard Flash. I watched your Terrible Tim animation. It is vile, disgusting, and utterly juvenile. AND I LOVED IT LOL!!! The characters are hilarious as was the narration. Great use of alpha on the flatulant gases. If people think this type of humor IS vile, disgusting, and utterly juvenile, then the dog must have hid their funny bone in the backyard. Everyone farts and it's one of the funniest human "expressions". Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to more!

Human rights are commonly understood as fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being. Human rights are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist as natural rights or as legal rights, in both national and international law.
The doctrine of human rights in international practice, within international law, global and regional institutions, in the policies of states and in the activities of non-governmental organizations, has been a cornerstone of public policy around the world.
- Right to life
- Freedom from torture
- Freedom from slavery
- Right to a fair trial
- Freedom of speech
- Freedom of thought, conscience and religion
Events and new possibilities can affect existing rights or require new ones. Advances of technology, medicine, and philosophy constantly challenge the status quo of human rights thinking
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly (10 December 1948 at Palais de Chaillot, Paris). The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. It consists of 30 articles which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions and laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols. In 1966 the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights; and in 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill took on the force of international law
The Constitution of Canada was amended in 1982 to entrench the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which begins with the words, "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law." This phrase underlines the importance of religious traditions to Canadian society and the dignity and worth of the human person.
The Charter attempts to summarize fundamental freedoms while also setting out additional rights. The most important of these include:
- Mobility Rights – Canadians can live and work anywhere they choose in Canada, enter and leave the country freely, and apply for a passport.
- Aboriginal Peoples' Rights – The rights guaranteed in the Charter will not adversely affect any treaty or other rights or freedoms of Aboriginal peoples.
- Official Language Rights and Minority Language Educational Rights – French and English have equal status in Parliament and throughout the government.
- Multiculturalism – A fundamental characteristic of the Canadian heritage and identity. Canadians celebrate the gift of one another's presence and work hard to respect pluralism and live in harmony.
- Equality of Women and Men – In Canada, men and women are equal under the law. Canada's openness and generosity do not extend to barbaric cultural practices that tolerate spousal abuse, "honour killings," female genital mutilation, forced marriage or other gender-based violence. Those guilty of these crimes are severely punished under Canada's criminal laws.
Protecting Human Rights
There are currently four key mechanisms in Canada to protect human rights:
- the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
- the Canadian Human Rights Act
- the Canadian Human Rights Commission
- provincial human rights laws and legislation
The issue of human rights in Canada has not attracted significant controversy relative to human rights issues in other countries. Most Canadians believe the country to be a strong proponent and positive model of human rights for the rest of the world. For example, in 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide with the enactment of the Civil Marriage Act.
Canada does have to deal with some issues of human rights abuses that have attracted condemnation from international bodies, such as the United Nations. For example, some provinces still allow the use of religiously segregated schools. The treatment of Canada's First Nations people or Aboriginal Canadians and the disabled also continues to attract criticism.
Ontario's Human Rights Code protects people in Ontario against discrimination in areas such as jobs, housing and services. The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the Human Rights Legal Support Centre and the Ontario Human Rights Commission make up the province's human rights system.
A New Human Rights System for Ontario
On June 30, 2008, the province launched its new human rights system, consisting of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and the new Human Rights Legal Support Centre.

Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario
All claims of discrimination under the Ontario Human Rights Code are now filed directly with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. The Tribunal is an independent, neutral body that resolves applications through mediation or adjudication. Its adjudicators are experts in both human rights and dispute resolution.

The History of Human Rights in Ontario
Ontario has a proud record of leadership in protecting human rights.
In 1944, Ontario passed the Racial Discrimination Act. It was based on the principle that every person is free and equal in dignity and rights regardless of race, creed, colour, nationality, ancestry or place of origin.
Four years later, the United Nations adopted the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which sets out fundamental rights and freedoms, as a common standard of achievement for all people and all nations.
Ontario's human rights system was, and still is, based on that declaration.
In 1962, Ontario enacted the first comprehensive human rights code in Canada, to protect people against discrimination and harassment in the workplace, and in accommodation, goods, services and facilities.
The Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code) prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, sex, colour, ancestry, place of origin, ethnic origin, creed, marital status, family status, sexual orientation, age, disability or citizenship. It provides that every Ontarian has the right to equal treatment in employment, accommodation, goods, services, facilities, contracts and membership in vocational associations.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission was set up to administer and enforce the Code. At first, ad hoc boards of inquiry were appointed to adjudicate cases involving discrimination under the new Code. In 1995, the Board of Inquiry was established as a permanent, stand-alone tribunal. And in 2002, the name was changed to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.
Calls to reform and modernize Ontario's human rights system began in the 1990s. In December 2006, the Ontario Human Rights Code Amendment Act, 2006 was passed.

Facebook Adding Dislike Button For SympathyTechnology December 12, 2014 , by
On December 11, 2014 California founder and CEO of face book Mark Zuckerberg thrill the world in Q & A session by claiming face book will soon add "DISLIKE" button. This piqued the interest of face book addicts who love to use "DISLIKE" button on posts or comments which are sad, abusive or spots as negativity. The "Dislike" button took much time to appear while the idea circulates on social media long back.
In a report by MASHABLE, the CEO said:
'We need to figure out the right way to do it so it ends up being a force for good, not a force for bad,' he said — because a 'dislike' or other negative sentiment could easily be used for the wrong reasons."
According to MARK, its people's desire to get "DISLIKE" feature to get many fake posts, comments on social network. The company is working in creating more appealing ideas for people to explicit their emotions on sad posts or comments. The idea is basically spreading more positivity and it need to use in positive way.
"One of things we've thought about for quite a while is what's the right way to make it so that people can easily express a broader range of emotions," Zuckerberg said.
The "Dislike" button revolutionary is still in question. On 12th December Mark cleared with Thumbs down to the "DISLIKE" button.
"I don't think there needs to be a voting mechanism on Facebook whether posts are good or bad, I don't think that's socially very valuable or good for the community. But the thing that I think is very valuable is that there are more sentiments that people want to express than just positivity or that they like something. " Zuckerberg said.

Jose Mourinho has always been a manager profoundly recognised for his tendencies to trust certain players in his team and in this current Manchester United squad, there are certainly a few names that fall under this category.
The likes of Nemanja Matic, Chris Smalling and David De Gea are all players who evidently hold their manager's trust but perhaps no other member of the squad are guaranteed a place in the starting eleven more than Romelu Lukaku.
Having featured 43 times out of a possible 47 games in the Premier League under Mourinho, the Belgian has asserted himself as the number one striker at Old Trafford, but is it now finally time to rotate and experiment?
Finding a New Dimension of Play
A major factor behind why Lukaku is consistently chosen under Mourinho is because he fits the mould of that lone striker in the current 4-3-3 system better than any other striker in the United squad. Recognised as a 'target man', the Belgian acts as the focal point in a side that rarely commits many midfielders forward, meaning that there is a heavy emphasis on his ability to hold the ball up and bring others into play.
Unfortunately, this system has rarely been a success this season, with Lukaku not starting the campaign so sharply and teams finding it easy to crowd United's attack out in numbers. This, therefore, has sparked the question from many United fans as to why alternate options are not being experimented with up-top.
Dynamic attackers such as Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez hold the potential to transform United's offensive shape of play, as all three are players who prefer to look for runs in behind their opponent's defence. Each player may require more support from their teammates, but this could change Mourinho's style for the better.
Operating with two up front, or even just with a higher attacking midfielder, would allow United to operate in a more dynamic fashion, as opposed to consistently relying on Lukaku to hold long balls up. The most obvious option to many would be Rashford, who has flourished in this role for England, scoring three goals in September during the international break.
A New Recruit in January?
Despite United holding a bundle of attacking talent in their armory, Mourinho's lack of rotation with Lukaku does suggest that he doesn't fancy any of the mentioned names to be his trusted number nine. Martial, Rashford and Sanchez have all predominantly operated as wide forwards under the Portuguese and there is little reason to suggest that this will change anytime soon.
Some fans have, therefore, raised the idea of the club signing a new striker in the upcoming January transfer window. Big name signings have not always been the answer for United in the past, but some direct competition towards Lukaku could get the best out of the side and the Belgian himself.
The most popular names mentioned have been Inter Milan's deadly Mauro Icardi and even PSG's renowned Edison Cavani. Both strikers boast lethal goalscoring records in their respected sides, but it would take some serious pulling power from Ed Woodward, to convince either club to sell.
For now, the most logical answer seems to lie with experimenting with an alternative to Lukaku, to try spark some energetic life into United's forward play. Lukaku is certainly a player who plays for the badge, but the heavy reliance from Mourinho over the last 18 months now seems to be taking its toll. The Belgian looks rundown and some time on the sidelines would certainly be beneficial, for the big number nine.

More From Peace Activists
A peace activist may refer to any person who believes and advocates non-violent, diplomatic, non-military forms of resolution to political problems and disputes. A person who strongly opposes the notion of war and any kind of violent military action can be defined as a peace activist. One of the main objectives of peace activists is to create awareness about the harmful effect of violence in the society and promote peace and end all kinds of wars. A peace activist will promote diplomatic resolutions, non-violent resistance, pacifism, boycotts, moral purchasing, peace camps and other forms of peaceful campaigns to end any kind of violence. The idea of peace activism originated after many countries suffered the devastating effects of the World War II, after which many of these countries included peace in their constitutions, during the post war period. Some of the peace movements include, anti-nuclear movements, anti-weapons movement, anti-war campaigns, non-violence movements and campaigns, among many others. Peace activists aim to highlight to the world the illogicality of violent conflicts and spread awareness about peace and harmony. Learn more fascinating and enlightening facts, continue to read on about some of the famous peace activists, with their biographies that include trivia, interesting facts, timeline and life history.

See the movie "Concussion." But first read the classic book from the acclaimed concussion doctor who's changing how America thinks about safety in youth sports.
"This is an important, cutting-edge work by the premier specialist in his field. If you watch sports, or if you have a young athlete in your family, you need to read this book." —Dan Shaughnessy, author of The Curse of the Bambino
From Washington to Quebec, from offices at the NFL to the New York Times, from the NHL players' union to the soccer fields of Anytown, U.S.A., people are talking about concussions. At the center of this crisis—and one of the key reasons for this increased awareness—is Dr. Robert Cantu, the country's leading expert on athletic brain trauma and a pioneer in the study of the link between concussions and progressive brain disease in athletes.
Concussions and Our Kids is the first prescriptive book of its kind to address the issue of head trauma in sports and to offer guidelines for playing sports safely. Described as "the single most important issue in sports today," concussions are widespread and devastating. Dr. Cantu has treated thousands of patients, from pro athletes to peewee players, and his groundbreaking research is changing how sports are played. Parents, coaches, and players can learn from this combination manifesto/manual, helping to reduce concussions now and prevent more brain trauma down the road.
"A well-researched, riveting story that every coach and parent of a young athlete should read." —Christine Brennan, USA Today sports columnist and author of Best Seat in the House

There is no built-in support for Shared Emails for the official Microsoft Outlook app on Android. There is however a way to get them to work, for Outlook and for any other mail app.
Firstly, get to the manual settings screen
You will be forced to start the process before you can actually reach the manual settings option.Before starting, ensure the primary email account has access to the shared email account
Before starting, ensure the primary email account has access to the shared email account from within the Office 365 administration area.
- Open the Outlook app and start the process of adding a new email
- Enter the shared email address
- On the next screen, where it asks for your password, hit back
- Choose the IMAP option
- Expand the advanced settings so you can see additional settings
The settings are different to standard Office 365 IMAP email accounts
Now that you have gotten to the screen, enter the appropriate details. Replacing the examples below with the correct email.
Assuming firstname.lastname@example.com is the shared email account and firstname.lastname@example.com is one of the primary emails that has access to the shared email account.
- Email Address: firstname.lastname@example.com
- IMAP Host Name: imap-mail.outlook.com
- IMAP Username: firstname.lastname@example.com\shared (you need a \ with the beginning of the shared email, leaving the domain at the end off)
- IMAP Password: password used for the primary email address
- SMTP Host Name: smtp-mail.outlook.com:587 (note the :587 at the end, this is essential)
- SMTP Username: email@example.com (note that you do not put your shared email address at the end)
- SMTP Password: password used for the primary email address
That should be it.
You cannot simply use the same IMAP settings you would use for a primary email address. You have to use different settings. SMTP must use :587 and have a slightly different username to IMAP.

DIY: Mirror Auto Retract @ Door Lock for Honda BR-V
I can't use my previous autoretract schematic because BR-V has it's own alarm system and I can't find the remote lock signal. I need to build a new schematic. First, make a delayed relay, using NPN transistor and some other components. Herewith the complete schema:
The module:
Lucky, all required wires are available under door's arm rest.
Top left: door actuator socket. You must open door trim to reach this socket. Door lock = pink is positive and yellow is negative (door unlock = pink is negative and yellow is positive, but we'll ignore this current by placing diode).
Top center: mirror switch socket. Cut yellow and grey wire and connect it to the module.
Top right: driver main switches socket. Accu = large grey wire, ignition = large red wire, ground = large black wire.
Bottom: I put the module in the back corner of the armrest, and cover it with foam to avoid rattles.

While we do admit the weather could have been better, July has been one exciting month in the Passion Pod world. You see, we've reached, gulp, 100 of these natters with passionate, brave creatives going after careers that sure aren't easy but boy are they fulfilling!
Passion Pod founder, interviewer and all round creative-lover Emily Chiswell had a bit of a rumination on what 100 passion pods meant to her as well as expressing her heart felt thanks to everyone who's listened to these podcasts.
We also chatted to Wildflowers, a band who just played at Glasto and take a refreshingly business-like approach to making a living making sweet music. They pool their skills together and view marketing, production, recording as all essential ingredients for success. They are also the only passion pod guests to treat our listeners to a track at the end of the interview – what a bonus!
After interviewing lots of creatives, there are some job titles that crop up again and again – writer, actor, painter etc – so we always sit up and listen when a brand new one comes along and I think we can safely say we've never had a Science Children's Entertainer before. But then why should that be a surprise when our podder Cressida pretty much invented the job with her own company Fun Science, begun when she was still at university! Cressida is on a mission to show that science is a fun subject and she does this through children's parties where she invites kids to make their own magnetic slime and even set their hands on fire (safely, we hasten to add!) Cressida started Fun Science with 200 quid and lots of time and energy. At 24 she's a boss and Fun Science events are run across the UK. This is one eye-opening pod!
We ended the month on a high with the uber inspiring Holly, the camerawoman behind Raise The Roof charity which has set up a vocational training school in Kenya as well as lots of sustainable businesses and social enterprise and a gender programme called Raise Her Voice. Volunteering in the country while still a student led Holly to set up the charity. She spoke movingly on how daunting the problems in the community can sometimes seem and the importance of accepting her limitations and asking for help. She also said that unlike some altruistic missions, Raise The Roof focuses on listening to the Kenyan people, finding out what their solutions are and trying to action these solutions with the help of the government, business partners and the community. This is one pod full of tips for combining a career with a passion project and having the belief that one person can really make a difference. Take a listen!
One last big thank you from us at Passion Pods – if it weren't for your lovely receptive ears we wouldn't be doing what we love and meeting these absolute gems of humans. Really. So thank you, thank you and thank you again!

FD Resources
With the immense popularity of zoom lenses today, it may sound a little stupid to tell you why people still selects and accepts zoom lenses even to the level of using them for professional applications. Although it has never been an easy route decades ago, the distinctive advantage of a zoom lens today is clearly evident.
With their instantly variable focal lengths, zoom lenses are extremely flexible. Action-packed scenes such as athletic competitions and the agile movements of wildlife, or stationary photography such as portraits and still lives, can all be photographed with a powerful telephoto zoom. The varied angles of view permit different points of view on the subject and flexible framing also eliminates unnecessary footwork by moving forth and back.
Over the years, it was very much due to the continuous development and refinement aided in the designs of zoom lenses by computers, their optical quality have improved tremendously. However, I would not like to exaggerate to the claims of that such zoom lenses can actually rivals the best of single focal length lenses even though the general perception and users' overwhelming responses to many of today's modern high quality zoom lenses is evident.
<<<---- ©-free 1999, Leofoo Malaysian Internet Resources
It is a natural market trend for the research and development of lenses to be leaning towards the demand by requested by consumers that continuous effort was focused into the manufacturing of even more refine, exotic and high power zoom ratio lenses.
Today, zoom lenses with such 'high end' specification such as the popular 17-35mm. 20-35mm, 28-200mm, 35-350mm or 100-400mm etc. and the extensive use of rare earth glass like Ultra-Low, or Super-Low Dispersion Glass, High Refractive Index optical elements, molded or polished aspherical elements. In the case of Canon, it even incorporate their in house developed artificial fluorite glass into the lens design where it requires such spec.
Some of the earlier mentioned lenses, including those with fixed focal lengths, from the FD 7.5mm fisheye to the FD 800mm super-telephoto, each of these fixed focal length lenses has its own angle-of-view, magnification and perspective rendition. The zoom lens, however, uses a different approach to lens design. The zoom combines a range of focal lengths rather than just a single one. By simply moving a zoom control ring, you can change the magnifications, angle-of-views and perspectives. But it's not quite correct to describe the zoom as a lens that unites several focal lengths. It does that - and a lot more. Composed of two or more focal lengths, the zoom lens is designated by its minimum and maximum settings. The flexibility inherent in the zoom lens lies in being able to shoot not only at its minimum or maximum focal lengths, but at any intermediate focal lengths as well. Rather than change your location in relation to your subject, you operate the zoom control and move smoothly through the changes in angle-of-views, magnifications and perspectives.
You can referred a zoom lens as a One-Lens-Does-the-Job-of-Many lens. Zoom lenses cover specific ranges, an example is the compact FD 35-105mm f/3.5 zoom lens. The minimum focal length of this lens is 35mm while the maximum is 105mm. Zoom ratio is the maximum focal length divided by the minimum focal length. The larger this value, the greater the zoom range.
In our example of the 35-105mm, we're dealing with a three-to-one zoom ratio. Ratio as high as three-to-one or even slightly more are common. Generally, zoom lenses of higher zoom ratio (up to 10-12X) demands great deal of effort to maintain acceptable optical quality and usually that is where some of the finest in optical design comes in with clever use of rare earth glass or technical advancement in glass manufacturing to supplement in order to provide high optical performance. Basically, computers have automated such complex calculation and designing of any zoom lens unimaginable those early days would thought possible and viable to manufacture commercially in a large scale.

Most of the common or popular zoom lenses incorporate two or more focal lengths. Canon has the largest options in the selection of zoom lenses among all manufacturers. You can safely say they were also the pioneer in that segment and daring to introduce new series of zoom lenses especially in their 'L' Series. There are seventeen FD zoom lenses, covering a range from 20mm to 600mm - these are the focal lengths range that are most commonly used by photographers. If you study carefully within the FD lenses line up, a photographer could cover almost every individual focal length from 20mm to 600mm with no more than four zoom lenses, started from the ultra wide of 20-35mm, the 35-70mm, the 70-210mm and finally an exotic 150-600mm.
Most people would agreed the most appealing factor of zoom lenses is its ability of substituting many of the prime lenses by just one lens. Well, generally most will also agreed the biggest drawback of zoom lenses is , most of the time, its maximum aperture still stays relatively slow as compared with prime lenses. But some camera manufacturers and third party lens makers have already introduced high speed zoom lenses of f2.8 but still fall short of achieving higher speed like f2.0 or brighter (As of October, 1999). But unless we are referring to the other extreme of the shorter focal length, high speed long tele-zoom lenses is still too bulky for comfort to travel and handling.

Furthermore, the cost of such lenses usually comes with an unrealistic price tag. Up to the days of the discontinuation of Canon's FD line of lenses, there was not even an 80-200mm f2.8 version available but instead, Canon has a trend setting in the form of its FD 24mm-35mm f4.0L that actually caused many raised eyebrows years ago. It was substituted by the FD 20-35mm f3.5L which has been imitated and copied by many other competitions within the industry. No big deal ? Oh, I have to highlight this fact, Canon's greatest rival in the professional SLR market, Nikon, had only introduced an equivalent version in 1997 with only an autofocus version (AF Zoom-Nikkor 20-35mm f2.8D, which is a stop brighter than the original FD version by Canon), about 10 long years since Canon introduced their FD 20-35mm f3.5 L.
Okay, now you must have a rough idea where the key weakness of a zoom lens is. To use a zoom lens, you must at least conduct your shootings under fairly good lighting conditions While most zoom lenses tend to have a relatively small maximum aperture, but again nothing can surpass their convenience and hence the popularity soared over the years. Another reason attribute to its great success despite its relative weakness is the development of high speed fine grain film which has rightfully supplement and patched the weakness very well.
Anyway, not mean to upset any stomach, let us go to how to choose the right zoom lens for your needs. Well, zoom range is important for sports, for example. With an 80-200mm zoom you're ready for everything from an overall shot to a tight close-up without changing lenses. If you feel the best framing for the image is at 90mm, 105mm, 140mm or 200mm, you have these settings at your fingertips. If for any situation to take in more area, a 28-85mm zoom might be a good choice for such use. Unfortunately, none of us cannot afford to buy all the zoom lenses a manufacturer produces, so you have to carefully plan and ascertain what zoom range would best suit your personal type of photography without overlapping too much on your existing collection of prime lenses (If you are new to photography and has decided to choose Canon FD SLRs to start off camera system , that is very much easier without such hassle).
Zoom or Prime ? Decision is yours..
But even then, set up your priorities before you decide which lens best suits your requirement. there are a few factors to consider:
First and foremost, you must realize despite how good these FD lenses are, they has been discontinued by Canon. You have to make sure these investment of yours will not go down the drain if you cannot assure yourself that you will take good care of them in maintainance It may post some problem in replacement of parts (especially the optical elements). If you have decided Canon is the brand for you and if you have a limited budget, always put the current EOS line of Autofocus SLR cameras on top of your priority list if any of the AF models still falls within your budget. This section may benefit more to a current FD series of SLR users or those who thinks a used and 'abandon' camera system by its manufacturer should be cheaper than the current version - but unfortunately, this is not the case reflected on the used market. In a positive note, one may interpret such 'phenomenon's '..general public appreciate quality of such craftsmanship and the quality of Canon...'. I would rather think it otherwise as these are marketers engineered effort to topping up prices of used items. Whatever it is, it should be selling at too ridiculous of a price as comparable to the current EF lenses or EOS bodies .. frankly, unless you are still a casual user, it need a lot of courage to be a Canon FD system user if you engaged a lot in photography and put your photo gear to real rough and abusive use. Sad to read but fact remains.
Anyway, next on the list is its Weight
A zoom lens may present a solution to those who needs to conserve weight and room in his camera bag. One zoom lens will weigh considerably less than the combined weight of the focal lengths that it incorporates. And it certainly will take up less room. While fixed focal length lenses have grown smaller and lighter, so have zoom lenses. Using the FD 20-35mm f/3.5 L lens as an example, if we combined the weight of the four lenses whose range it covers - 20mm, 24mm, 28mm and 35mm - the zoom proves to be 425 grams lighter!
Naturally with additional lens elements incorporated in its optical construction, a zoom lens should weighs more than most of the fixed focal length lenses which means in actual shooting it is heavier and generally larger. However, while a 100-200mm zoom, for example, weighs 610 grams and the 200mm f/4 weighs 440 grams, the difference is not overly significant. But weight should not be the primary factor in choosing a zoom lens. There is no other way that you are going to have a range of focal lengths so readily available. With fixed focal lengths, you would have to constantly change lenses thereby taking your attention away from shooting. The zoom permits the freedom to select various magnifications and angles of view without taking your eye from the finder.

High speed film helps a lot in the course of development and popularity zoom lenses. Grains ? Who cares ? especially to a photojournalist where at times, essence in a photograph is more important.

The usually comparable Smaller Maximum Apertures
There is no arguing with the convenience and creative potential of the zoom lens. But when it comes to maximum aperture, the comparable fixed focal length lenses are faster. For example, the FD 85mm f/1.2 L is considerably four times faster than the 70-150mm f/4.5 zoom lens hence a better choice for low light shooting. The FD 24mm f/1.4 L and the FD 50mm f1.2 L are miles ahead of zooms with those focal lengths. The closest you can come to a really fast zoom is the FD 35-70mm f/2.8-3.5. However, the f/2.8 aperture is only possible at the 35mm focal length while at 70mm the lens is half a stop slower. Thus, if your type of photography demands a lot to work under poor lighting conditions, a zoom lens may not be your best choice unless you can live with the extent of using high speed color and black-and-white films to make up for the lack of speed.
Special optical Effects it presents
Used to be an amazing optical characteristic when zoom in or out while tripping the shutter release at a moderate speed to portray a strong sense of movement. But it has been over used and I have long been looking for a more creative use with such technique. If you still wanted to try it out, just by using the zooming mechanism during exposure, you can produce compelling images attainable only with a zoom lens. Known as "racking", it is an unusual technique is to change focal length during exposure. Another possibility is taking a series of multiple exposures on one frame, shooting the subject at a variety of focal lengths. The results obtained with either technique depend on subject, lighting and exposure. The following tells how each technique works.
<<< ©-free 1999, Leofoo Malaysian Internet Resources
- Zooming during Exposure. First, you would be required to use a steady camera and accurate focusing on the main subject. In fact, framing the first impression is more important. Use of tripod if you want a clearer image in the blur. Focus with the lens at the longest focal length. Then decide whether you want to zoom from the shortest to longest focal length or vice versa. Choose a relative fairly long shutter speed but try not to exceed slow speed of one second (You may require some form of exposure compensation especially when using less exposure-forgiving slide films). Why slow speed ? Because the slower the shutter speed, the easier it is to zoom during exposure and has less error for 'uncompleted zoom blur'.
This technique can be used with a static subject and creates an exploding effect when zooming from the maximum to the minimum focal length. You can also use it with a panning action for a moving subject to create a surrealistic blur of speed in the finished photograph. The possibilities are virtually endless. And each subject and exposure could results in a unique image.
- Multiple Exposure Zooming. Multiple exposure zooming could provide an entirely different effect and is particularly suited to portrait photography. With the camera mounted on a tripod, first focus at the maximum focal range and frame the subject as desired. With this method, slow shutter speeds are not necessary. Make the first exposure, change the focal length and after making the necessary multiple exposure preparations on the camera, make the second exposure on the same frame. You can make just a few zoom changes and exposures or many, depending on the effect you want. With multiple exposure, as a guide line for exposure compensation, it is necessary to underexpose the image about onehalf f/stop for each exposure. If you plan four exposures, set the aperture two f/stops smaller than the meter reading. Otherwise, your final image will be overexposed.
You may not be achieving a best result using such technique for the first few initial trials. Both of these zoom lens techniques require planning and experimentation to ensure success. Also, please note NOT all Canon SLR camera models have a provision for multiple exposures.

Friends of Padre Steve's World,
On this Sunday I want to impart a short thought. The great American humorist Mark Twain once noted "If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be—a Christian."
Last week I preached about separation of church and state at my chapel and pretty much said the same thing. One think I noted was that if I wasn't already a Christian that nothing I see in American Christianity could ever convince me to become a Christian.
The reality is that people are fleeing the church in record numbers and non-believers don't even want to darken the door and I don't blame them. The illusion of packed out mega-churches betrays the reality that if things continue apace that within a generation the American church of all denominations will be as bad off as the state churches of Europe which are empty, and no amount of the craven lust for political power of those who call themselves "evangelical" or "conservative" Christians will change that, instead it will make it worse.
Big name preachers rush to the side of a President who has measured them and found that by doing very little for them except say what they want to hear, that they will prostitute themselves to gain political power. George Truett, who served as Pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas, and President of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary wrote something that should serve as a warning to such people:
"Constantine, the Emperor, saw something in the religion of Christ's people which awakened his interest, and now we see him uniting religion to the state and marching up the marble steps of the Emperor's palace, with the church robed in purple. Thus and there was begun the most baneful misalliance that ever fettered and cursed a suffering world…. When … Constantine crowned the union of church and state, the church was stamped with the spirit of the Caesars…. The long blighting record of the medieval ages is simply the working out of that idea."
But it seems we don't learn and the Millenials, as well as others, particularly combat vets like me, have looked behind the purple curtain of the Church' Oz and found that Jesus isn't there. What comes to mind when most people are asked to describe the Church? Let's check the polls of evangelical pollster George Barna which have been corroborated time after time by Pew, Gallup, and other polls.
These polls find people are leaving Christian churches of all denominations in droves and that non-believers want nothing to do with the church. For most of these people it is not about God or Jesus, or even the Bible. It is due to the lack of love, care, compassion exhibited by Christians and the institutional corruption, lack of transparency, double standards and political machinations of churches over people that are not of their faith or under their institutional control. The surveys conducted by Christian pollsters like George Barna bear this out. When asked what words or phrases "best describe Christianity" the top response of 16-29 years olds was "anti-homosexual" while 91% of all non-Christians surveyed said this was the first word as it was for 80% of Christians in the survey. Here are those words that describe Christians. Personally I don't like them but it is what it is.
Hypocritical: Christians live lives that don't match their stated beliefs;
Antihomosexual: Christians show contempt for gays and lesbians – "hating the sin and the sinner" as one respondent put it
Insincere: Christians are concerned only with collecting converts
Sheltered: Christians are anti-intellectual, boring, and out of touch with reality.
Too political: Christians are primarily motivated by a right-wing political agenda
That is the future and honestly I think that it is too late to turn this around and it is not the fault of academics, liberals, homosexuals, scientists, educators, or the media. It is the fault of Christians who love power, position, and prosperity more than they love people; the same people that Jesus supposedly died and rose again to save. In fact many Christians spend so much of their time hating and preaching against people they have never even met that and allying themselves with the government to ensure that they can discriminate against LGBTQ people, women, Muslims, and a host of others solely based on their interpretation of cherry-picked Bible verses that no one listens to them anymore.
The great American patriot, free thinker, and atheist Robert Ingersoll wrote something that goes to the heart of the matter: "Christians tell me that they love their enemies, and yet all I ask is—not that they love their enemies, not that they love their friends even, but that they treat those who differ from them, with simple fairness."
I cannot agree more with him. Ingersoll saw beyond that purple veils over a hundred years ago, and he asks a question that the purloined preachers of the American church have completely forgotten. If we want to attract people to Jesus we have to treat them with simple fairness and love, if we can't do that then we forfeit all that we preach about Jesus and we shall be rightfully dmaned.
So anyway, until tomorrow,
