![]() Sony were a bit slow to include electronic shutters but are getting there now (a6300, a6500, a7s onwards, a7RII onwards, a9 and today the a7III), though they can be a bit reticent about using the facility to deliver faster shutter speeds than the mechanical shutter in some models, Panasonic has been including them for ages (so early in fact that the first few models with them were a bit limited when using electronic shutter, but no such problems now) and Olympus started including the facility between Panasonic's introduction and Sony's takeup of the idea (and there are two Olympuses which allow full use of electronic flash with the electronic shutter). It's a fairly typical/average implementation, though they were the first to provide a 1/32,000 top speed when everyone else topped out at 1/16,000. Yes - their mirrorless models now pretty much all have the option of electronic shutter (I'd have to double-check that the X-A20 does, but it probably will). One area where the Fuji X does well with the electronic shutter system in theirs with the limitations of that process. Unfortunately, as an interchangeable lens camera, the M50 needs a focal plane shutter, which is far louder due to its design and operation. Those cameras have an interlens or behind-lens leaf shutter, which is inherently very quiet. That type of integration into the M would have been very nice. The Powershot G9 and G15 have a very quiet shutter. Look how long it took to get rudimentary 4k. I would love to see an electronic shutter but I think a feature like that is at least 1-2 generations away in a Canon APS-C camera. I am not sure what that means but "nearly silent" isn't silent. One reviewer on Youtube said it was a nearly silent shutter option. I will need to see a video of it operating before believing it is electronic. The electronic shutter can’t apparently be selected in any other shooting mode, which feels like a missed opportunity. Frustratingly, though, it’s only available from a fully automated mode that’s accessed from the SCN position on the exposure-mode dial. Canon has also included a silent shooting mode that uses a fully electronic shutter – the first time this has appeared on a EOS camera.

I would not hesitate to try new shades from this line, but I would keep it in my handbag for touch-ups and to show off how beautiful it is. What is most impressive is the exquisite packaging on this lipstick! The packaging is expensive and of amazing quality and many other luxury brands should take note of this beauty and up their game. I also found this to have no weird taste and the scent is typical of lipstick. This lipstick also transfered to the wrap I ate, though a stain of purple was still visible on my lips for hours. I had no problems with feathering despite not wearing a lip liner, but I did accidently hit my sleeve across my lips and this sadly transfered. A good prep of your lips with a scrub and moisturizer (that has had time to absorb) definitely help keeps the application smooth as with most lipsticks.

The whole Gear menu is gone, so also no Tags, and the progression screen didn't even show up, so also no levelups.

When you’re stressed, it triggers your fight-or-flight response. Or, as your parents probably said, it builds character. Sure, you don’t like it when it’s happening, but stepping (or being pushed) outside of your comfort zone occasionally is an excellent way to grow. You begin to build up more confidence that you can handle uncertainty in the future, and when stresses occur, you have more patience with yourself and how you handle them.Ģ. You recognize through sharing your experiences that you are stronger than you realized. This can lead to a greater willingness to listen and empathize with others, as we recognize that everyone is navigating their own unique challenges in life.Īt the same time as your empathy for others builds, so does your kindness to yourself. This shared struggle allows us to better understand and relate to the emotions and experiences of those around us who may also be going through similar uncertainties.Īdditionally, uncertainty can create a sense of humility and open-mindedness, as we realize that we don't have all the answers or control over the situation. ![]() When we are uncertain about the future or facing difficult challenges, we often seek support and understanding from others. No matter how you handle them, you’re most likely handling them better than someone else in the same situation.īecause you know what it’s like to feel weak and afraid, you don’t want others to experience that same anxiety, and you may use your past uncertainties to help them. In other words, you understand how it feels to be anxious about uncertain issues. Uncertainty increases the ability to empathize with others because it creates a sense of vulnerability and a shared experience. Since you can’t predict the future or change other people, consider these benefits that uncertainty can bring so you can start to embrace instead of fear the unknown. In today’s society, living in a post-pandemic world, the extreme political climate, the economy, and global violence have added severe anxiety to millions of people’s lives.Īlthough factors like your past and your core self aren’t anything you can change, there are a few ways you can use things that are out of your control to better your life. The fact is that uncertainty is, and always has been, a part of life. How you manage uncertainty and irregularities in life depends on various factors, such as your inherent personality, your past experiences, and your current environment. Have you noticed that everyone handles stress in unique ways?

Perhaps instead of a compass our Creation myths are functioning as weights around our necks, millstones if you will, which continue to unbalance us? I believe that our notions of “dominion” continue to function as such a millstone and that we must cast off this weight if we are to have any hope of restoring our balance. One look at a “man-made” (sic) machine, excavating a mountaintop, confirms our “dominion” our “lordship” as we ravenously devour the land, so that we can gobble up the Earth’s resources.Ĭreation myths function as a kind of compass which orients a culture’s place in the world. Is it any wonder then that we are so very quick to consume the bounty of the Earth? It is as if we see ourselves as lords and ladies exercising our god-given right to tax the Earth and all her Creatures. Humans, male and female, for that is how “He” the “LORD GOD” created them in this particular Creation Myth, Humans are “lords of every living thing” we have dominion over Creation and we are to subdue the Earth, and multiply. “Dominion” the word comes from the Latin word dominium which means “lordship” or “right of ownership” from the word dominus which means “lord”. For two millennia, the dominant Christian culture has interpreted this myth to endow the right of “dominion over” every living thing that moves upon the Earth indeed, over the Earth itself. In one of the most treasured Creation myths of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim cultures, humans are placed as the crowns in the jewels of Creation. God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” Here endth the reading…or does it? So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them male and female he created them. I’m using the New Revised Standard Vision because it is a familiar translation of Genesis chapter 1, verses 27 & 28: the NRSV translates the Hebrew text like this: Listen to these words taken from one of the Creation myths found in the book of Genesis. ![]() While it has been a long time since this land was viewed as the DOMINION of CANADA, this land we love continues, like many lands, to suffer the pain of the dominion we inheritors of the Genesis myth continue to claim as our place in the order of Creation. That word “dominion” sticks in my throat, like a bile which threatens to make me wretch. Years ago, when my family immigrated to this land which I call home, it was known as the DOMINION of CANADA. Standing upon the Earth, with its vast, majestic lands, how did we ever become so enamored of our species domineering posture of self-importance? There is an arrogance to our Western posture which threatens the land. In addition to being overwhelmed by the vast beauty and majesty of the land, our eyes weep and our bodies shudder at gaping wounds, and ugly scares which threaten to pierce our over-inflated egos and challenge the wisdom of our imbedded delusions of grandeur. Memories of landscapes long changed by human hands, haunt our visions of ever-expanding settlements. In addition to the milk and honey of our ancestors’ dreams, this land is rich in blessings more numerous than all the words in all the languages spoken by this land’s diverse inhabitants. I suspect that those of you who call other lands “home” are also blessed with a similar love for your land. We only have to close our eyes to see the images of the beauty of the land we love simply because it is home. Walking upon the land, the ground beneath our feet holds promises passed down from generation to generation. From Coast to Coast to Coast, we Canadians live upon a land which far exceeds the blessings many of our ancestors could only long for. |
