![]() Meanwhile the left button summons up the AF-point selection screen, necessitating all points of the controller be used for navigation, and the up direction calls up exposure compensation. The left and down directions on the controller summon-up the flash and drive mode sections of the function menu (which mean the up and down arrows then scroll up and down the other function menu options). The main one comes from the fact that two of the directional points on the four-way controller take you to predefined places in the function menu, while the other two have distinctly different behaviors. There are a couple of odd quirks that need to be learned before you feel completely at home with it, though. Specific handling issuesīeyond these two slightly odd omissions, there's very little to highlight about the XZ-1: for the most part, it's a camera that's so straightforward as a shooting tool that you barely notice yourself using it (which is exactly what a good camera should do). Many compact cameras have some method of locking focus or exposure independently, so this is an area where being able to reconfigure a button would be valuable (there's that big red movie button that stills-shooters might welcome another function for, for instance). The XZ-1 has 11 manually selectable AF points but if these aren't near enough to the edge of the frame for you, you have to point the camera at the subject you want to focus on, knowing that the camera will base its exposure on that same framing. The ability to separate where the camera takes its metering value from and where it sets its focus from is key for the focus-and-recompose method of photography. ![]() The lack of an AEL/AFL button is more pressing. This is not to say that the default level is wrong, just that there will be some shooters that would like the choice. The inability to fine-tune the amount of noise reduction being applied in the JPEGs is a shame. Although it's an advanced, raw-capable model, the vast majority of XZ-1 owners are likely to shoot JPEGs for much of the time. ![]() There are only two significant casualties of this keep-it-simple philosophy: the lack of an AEL/AFL button and the lack of any control over noise reduction.

![]() People often ask: “Why do we build and fly instruments like JWST? What are we looking for out there?” We don’t know exactly that’s why we’re doing it. And you can count on us following this mission throughout its operations, sharing its discoveries with you as they happen. ![]() You can join me and the rest of The Planetary Society community tomorrow as we watch NASA release the first batch of images from JWST. We here at The Planetary Society are particularly excited about JWST’s ability to examine planets around other stars, which might unlock new insights into the possibilities of life beyond Earth. It could change the world. We’ll also get some of the initial science gleaned from the telescope’s observations, including an analysis of the components of an exoplanetary atmosphere. Tomorrow, NASA will release even more images from JWST. This is something worth celebrating today and always. There’s no doubt that countless of today’s young people will be inspired by JWST’s work to dedicate themselves to exploring this Universe we inhabit. Those scientists-and-engineers-to-be may have been inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope, which has been capturing jaw-dropping images of its own since the 1990s. ![]() To say that we’ve been waiting a lifetime for this image isn’t an overstatement work on this mission started in 1996, back when some members of today’s JWST mission team were just little kids. What we’re seeing is ancient light, reaching us after billions of years of travel, a snapshot of what the early Universe looked like more than 13 billion years ago. As far as we know, the speed of light is constant and finite. These galaxies are fantastically distant, more than 13 billion light-years away, from the very farthest reaches of the Universe. The image we see today is from an instrument much farther from Earth, where space gets especially cold. JWST’s predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, sent us its own iconic deep field images from low Earth orbit. A “deep field” image is one that peers into the blackness of space in between visible stars to capture distant, dimmer stars and galaxies. ![]() Red Coat Tavern, Luxe Bar and Grill, Sprout House Southwest: TACOS - El Asador, Hygrade Deli, El Barzon, Honey Bee Market (best salsa & avocados in town), Los GolanesĮastern Market/Southeast: Beyond Juice, Supinos Pizza, Zeffs, Detroit Vegan Soul, Roses Fine Food, Metropolitan Kitchen, Stache International, Milano Bakeryīeyond Juice, Commonwealth, Toast □, Social Kitchen & Bar Midtown/New Center: Selden Standard, Hopcat, Seva (Vegetarian/Vegan), Alley Taco, La Feria □️□, Motor City Brewing Works, Honest John’s, Z's Villa, Jolly Pumpkin, Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, Pho Lucky, Que’s Kitchen□✊□, Yum Village, Supercrisp ✊□, Ima ✊□, Detroit Shipping Co., Bronx BarĬorktown: Mudgie's Deli, Batch Brewing Company (team fav❤️), Bobcat Bonnie’s, Ima, Folk, Lager House One Eyed Betty's/ Weekend Only, Pop’s for Italian / Weekend Only, Public House - Newly renovated garden room / Weekend Only, The Emory, Bobcat Bonnies □️□, Toast □, The Fly Trap □️□ĭowntown: Dime Store ✊□, Chickpea in the D, Townhouse, Central Kitchen + Bar ✊□, Savannah Blue, Maru Sushi, Basement Burger Bar, Shake Shack, La Lanterna, La Pecora Nera, Apparatus Room at the Detroit Foundation Hotel, Avalon □□️□, Karl’s, Parc, Eatori Market Iron Horse / Sunday Only (team fav❤️), Café Muse, First Watch, Pronto, O.W.L.

The addition of Damian Lillard will help Milwaukee significantly, and it will help Giannis and Milwaukee be a much more potent offensive team. They were able to get some much needed offensive firepower by adding Damian Lillard via trade, and it’ll be interesting to see how far Milwaukee will go in 2024. This year, the Bucks will bring back Giannis, Middleton, and Brook Lopez, but they’ll need to ensure that they stay healthy in the playoffs. And then, they shook up the NBA world by trading away Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen to Portland land superstar point guard, Damian Lillard to pair him up with Giannis. As a result, they dismissed longtime head coach Mike Budenholzer and hired Adrian Griffin to be their head coach in an attempt to switch things up. ![]() ![]() Since then, they have been bounced out of the playoffs earlier than expected for the past two seasons, as they have dealt with injuries and at times questionable play or coaching in the postseason.

In June 1977 Lee distributed several caches of leaflets at a right-wing sociology conference in Johannesburg. It is because of the propaganda effect.". In Jenkin's words, "The actual message on the leaflets, important as it was, was not as important as the fact the ANC had done it. In December 1976, Lee went to Cape Town and both he and Jenkin planted leaflet bombs in the city and suburbs. Not long after the Soweto uprising, Lee planted a number of leaflet bombs around Johannesburg. After achieving this mission, Lee worked for the University of the Witwatersrand, while Jenkin ran the " cell" on his own in Cape Town. In March 1976 Lee decided to go to Johannesburg to look for work, and the ANC coincidentally sent them both on their first mission, to disperse leaflets urging support for the ANC and unity in the liberation struggle via a leaflet bomb in Johannesburg, close to the anniversary of the Sharpeville Massacre. Īfter their return to Cape Town in July 1975, Lee and Jenkin bought a typewriter, duplicator and stationery to print and post pamphlets and leased first a garage and then a tiny apartment. During this time Lee worked as a bus conductor and joined the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU). At the end of 1974, the ANC informed him they had been approved and, after receiving some months of training with them, could return to South Africa to do something for the movement. ![]() ![]() While the ANC were checking their credentials, Lee went and worked as a carpenter in the Netherlands and taught English in Spain. Upon arrival in London in April 1974, they applied to join the ANC. The only way they could work for this banned organisation was to move to the UK and make contact with the organisation there, so both set off in February 1974 by ship via Barcelona, spending a few weeks in the Netherlands en route. Coming to the conclusion they could not effect any real change within the constitutional framework, which banned all effective and truly democratic opposition, they decided the ideals of the African National Congress (ANC) were worth fighting for. Īs they started realising the full extent of the unfair system of apartheid, they were fired with a desire to work towards change. They both found their sociology course disappointing, as the material reinforced the status quo of the apartheid system. ![]() They soon became friends and both of them sought out the literature banned by the apartheid government, devouring, photocopying it and swapping it with other students.

The horrific incident lasted only a total of 80 seconds and ended with the shooter turning his gun on himself in the library as the deputy was closing in on him. Upon learning of the threat, the deputy ran from the cafeteria to the library, yelling for people to get down and identifying himself as a deputy sheriff. On his arm, the perpetrator had written in indelible ink five classroom numbers and a phrase in Latin that translates to “the die has been cast,” according to the sheriff’s office.īut as reported in the Washington Times, the attacker’s mission was stopped short by the quick response of an armed deputy sheriff who was working as a resource officer at the school. Information released this week indicates that the perpetrator was planning a much larger attack and was armed with a shotgun, about 125 rounds of ammunition, three Molotov cocktails and a machete.Īccording to a CNN story, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said of the shooter, “His intent was evil, and his evil intent was to harm multiple individuals.” As bad as that was, things could have been much worse. The perpetrator, a senior at the school, was reported to have randomly shot 17-year-old Claire Davis as she sat innocently in the hallway. Last week’s tragic shooting at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado, left one student in critical condition. The anti-gunners claimed these measures would keep guns out of the hands of bad guys.
