Monogamy as a Rational Social Practice
What is monogamy?
We as humans have been programmed in a way so as to believe that the morally and socially expectable pattern of marriage remains to be monogamy. But let's first define what we actually mean by monogamy. What this concept really means is to have just one sexual partner at a time or more appropriately, having just one life partner. This may refer to being with one person in your entire life or at least one person at a time.
For much of the history of mankind, this has been a default relationship that one is supposed to follow. Some ancient cultures did have other practices such as polygamy or bigamy but this was just the preferable pattern of things. The concept of monogamy evolved so as to provide a balanced life to the children, as they would have a better life if both the parents had a certain amount of contribution in bringing them up and they had someone to look up to. Having a mother and a father was simpler and more clear cut and it was noticed that any intruder into the relationship or any problems that existed had quite a lot of impact on the children and this created an imbalanced socialization process for them. Hence, it was established that monogamy was the perfect relationship and that should be kept intact in order to have a perfectly balanced and stable society..
However, this concept is slowly losing its significance in our societies today. People have become increasingly involved in the fast paced lives and somehow indulge in fulfillment of sexual desires outside their monogamous marriage rather than considering the implications that would have on those around them. It is however common to see today that monogamy is losing its significance and people are indulging in other forms of relationships.
The loss of the significance of monogamy
This concept is however, losing its appeal and the balance that it once created. This is because more promiscuity is now prevailing in society and the need for the fulfillment of sexual desires is much stronger. People have increasingly started stressing on their own needs and being selfish when it comes to taking up responsibilities. The parents have put the children and their lives on the back end and do not exactly consider what the implications of their actions might be on their children. Instead they focus on living their life to the full neglecting the important things in life.
Monogamy was the preferred pattern of marrying and entering a relationship in order to diminish the amount of promiscuous behavior in society. If monogamous relationships were stressed enough, it was believed that people would understand the reasons for which it was considered the norm and would think twice before entering another relationship because it was looked down upon in society . The need to have a balance in the society is realized and today it is quite common to see some social problems that exist which are solely there because of the fact that no one seems to care enough anymore. People do not think twice anymore before engaging in any other relationship and although this has been the case since a long time, it is becoming more common today.
Extra marital affairs are increasingly common today and that gives rise to the number of divorces and separations that are common today. Empty shell marriages are one of the reasons why the youth of the country is so disturbed because they do not attain a proper balanced life at home and feel the need to vent out their frustrations and miseries in life elsewhere because they feel they cannot trust their parents anymore as they are selfish towards them.
A number of countries have seen recent rise in the statistics of prostitution and paid sex. This is because people can no longer control their sexual desires. What they are unable to gain at home, they seek elsewhere and that has long lasting implications. It is also about the fact that people have definitely become less understanding and the concept of compromise has been eliminated in society. People tend to consider drastic measures on petty issues and instead of seeking to resolve the matters with love and understanding, they do not think twice before entering another relationship. The extra marital affairs where one or both of the partners are married but are still seeking sexual pleasures outside marriage tend to become one of the most poisonous aspects towards a stable marriage.
The only reason why polygamy and more than one marriage were allowed was to balance out the number of men and women in the world. There are also certain integral aspects that one needs to consider before getting involved in more than one relationship because at the end of the day, it is quite difficult to manage and have an equal stance in both the relationships. Considering on the basis of moral grounds, it is known that every human has an innate tendency to get jealous and to feel insecure. This prevents the space that one can provide their spouse for having another relationship with someone else and this usually results in a chaos.
For a child as well, it is quite bizarre and unusual for him or her to be okay with their parents having more than one relationship and having children from another spouse. It creates a natural ground for conflict, jealousy and it is rarely ever seen that the children would be able to manage with their parents being involved elsewhere apart from their own biological parents.
The concept of monogamy and the importance associated with it was quite high in the conventional societies but it is largely losing its value since people are increasingly indulging elsewhere and do not regard those relationships. This is one reason why people have started accepting prostitution in society and the taboo is becoming much more widespread. They cannot just stay with one person and depend on them for every aspect of their life. Even if an individual stays with their spouse because they have children together, it does not necessarily mean that they still have that bond of love anymore and when that feeling vanishes from the relationship, it becomes empty and meaningless which causes the person to physically be involved and may support that family, but eventually the need for having a meaningful relationship that will fulfill their emotional and moral needs arises.
Consideration of poly relationships
Due to the declining importance of monogamous relations, people are now entering into open relationships where there are no strings attached and both the members of the relationship agree that there is no restriction on the other of being involved in another relationship. Although, people claim to be okay with this kind of arrangement and prefer to jump into a situation of polygamy, is it really acceptable in society?
We as humans have a tendency to label and react towards what we see and feel. Considering the situation of polygamy, it may be happening in both ways, a man being involved with a number of women or a single woman having a relationship with a lot of men. But what are the moral grounds for the social acceptance? Society will still at some point raise questions on them both and the implications will obviously be higher for the woman. It may be considered okay for a man to have a polygamous relationship but a woman will have bad labels attached to her for being in such a situation. It is also important to realize that with the deteriorating significance of monogamy, promiscuity tends to rise and people consider it okay to break the marriage or be involved in a number of relations. It complicates things for the people involved as well as the others in their lives. A monogamous relationship where the person tends to know who they have to spend their entire life with is much simpler and morally correct.
In some situations, the polygamous arrangement might work out as the children have more than two parents to consult when they have a problem and they get the environment of a household in not just one place. But such cases are still rare. A monogamous relationship would be less straining and emotionally challenging for the children as well as those involved in them.
Conclusion and Assessment
It has pretty much been established that the societies that exist today and the people today cannot just stick to one relationship and need to seek pleasures elsewhere because they believe that they simply cannot get a balance of everything in one relationship only. There obviously is also a higher extent of such polygamous relationships nowadays but the end point remains that for various moral, social, financial and emotional reasons, monogamy is still the most widely accepted form of relationships and is still the one that is most preferable form.
It is still more legitimate and morally…[continue]

If integration with a conventional social group helps prevent suicide and "delinquency" (Hirschi 1969) and motivates people to fight, make sacrifices for a community, or commit deviant acts on behalf of a sub-cultural group, it should affect almost all forms of deviance. The absence of social integration with conventional groups should be influential in psychotic behavior (unless that specific behavior is organically determined and totally uncontrollable); without integration into
Three other significant arguments are worth mentioning. First, that gay marriage undermines the sanctity of marriage in some way, and secondly that marriage is purely for the sake of procreation --which is impossible in a gay marriage, and that moreover children are likely to be disadvantaged by such unions. These last two arguments are rather contradictory, as the one argument generally suggests that gay marriages should not be allowed because

Sex at Dawn Ideas in Motion from Sex at Dawn Sexuality is a critical aspect of the human condition. Topics related to sex and sexuality are often heavily contested and discussed with tension.

Polygamy On the surface, and with the most shallow of analyses, polygamy would seem to be protected by the First Amendment freedom of religion clause because polygamy in the United States is mainly a phenomenon among specific religious groups -- namely Mormons, fundamentalist Christians, and Muslims (Turley). In fact, even a polygamous marriage that was not rooted in religious tradition could be protected under the Due Process clause, which basically encompasses
Gay Adoption One of the more high-profile contemporary civil rights issues is the controversy over gay marriage. Proponents of the rights of same-sex couples argue that there is absolutely no basis for discrimination against gay marriage and that it is the precise equivalent of laws prohibiting interracial marriage from the shameful history of racial segregation in the U.S. Opponents of same sex marriage consider it to be a fundamental violation

This might not be the perfect camera for everybody, but if you happen to be part time indie shooter and part time musician, the new Zoom Q2n just might be the perfect tool when it comes to quickly capturing your performance in both worlds, audio and video! Meet the Zoom Q2n Japanese company Zoom is well-known for their quality audio-capturing and recording devices, such as the famous Zoom H4n. A couple years back, they entered the market of smaller sized video cameras too, and now it seems that they are bringing it all together with the introduction of the Zoom Q2n. It is basically a combination of one of their quality audio recording devices with one of their video cameras. The product is a completely new category of audiovisual capturing device, aimed for a very specific market. The result is pretty impressive, as this tiny device seems capable of capturing not only high quality audio, but quite decent video at the same time. For shooting cinematic footage you would probably pick another camera, point taken. But for this very specific field of application the Zoom Q2n seems to be a very decent tool. Specifications Let's break down the specs of this little device. Audio-wise the Zoom Q2n is equipped with built-in X/Y stereo microphones capable of handling sound levels up to 120 dB SPL, and it can record up to 24Bit 96kHz in a WAV container. For setting levels, there is a nice big dial there for you, with no fussing around with deep menu structures. You can also use the device as a standalone audio recorder. There is a mini jack input on the side which takes either an external microphone or a line level source. For an external microphone, it's important to mention that only "plug-in power" (5V DC ) is supported, not to be confused with phantom power (mostly rated at 48V DC). In terms of outputs, a combined headphone / line out mini jack can be found right next to the input jack. Another way of using this tiny jack of all trades is to plug it into your DAW (digital audio workstation) via USB and record directly into your given project. Since it can handle up to 120 dB SPL (which is pretty loud) even badass drum solos shouldn't be a problem. Have a look here: On the video side of things, the Zoom Q2n records FullHD at up to 30fps through a fixed focus (36 cm – ∞) lens rated f2.0 with a 160˚ FOV (field of view), which translates roughly to 16.6 mm of focal length on a 35mm sensor equivalent. The codec used is a MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 within a MOV wrapper. The massive wide angle can be adjusted in five FOV steps: (×0.75 / ×0.85 / ×1.00 / ×1.30 / ×1.50). As I said, the specs are certainly not the greatest ever, but the resulting footage looks pretty good indeed. For powering the Zoom Q2n, you need two AA batteries (batteries included), which will power the device for about two to three hours, depending on the video quality setting. An optional DC adapter can be purchased separately, as well as several accessories such as a windscreen, a hot shoe mount or a tripod adapter. Pricing and Availability The Zoom Q2n will hit the market by December and it will be priced at $159. For that price point, I think you get a lot of features in a very tiny package. But again, this is not for everybody. Read more about the Zoom Q2n on their website. Any musicians around here? What do you think, is this tiny Zoom Q2n something worth exploring? Let us know in the comments below!Read more

At Photokina, Chinese lens manufacturer Venus Optics, who sell lenses by the name Laowa and specialise in niche glass for various cameras, announced two new fast wide angle lenses: After their 12mm f/2.8 E-Mount which we reported about in August, they now also offer a new 15mm f/2 for E-Mount, which is very fast for such a wide angle lens. It covers the full frame 35mm sensor of Sony A7 series E-Mount cameras and is fully manual with hard stops and manual aperture. It features a filter thread which isn't a given on all wide angle lenses at 15mm. No info on pricing yet. Their other new lens is a fully manual 7.5mm f/2 prime for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It will feature a comparable wide angle field-of-view given the 2x crop factor of MFT sensors compared to 35mm full frame cameras. What's particularly noteworthy about this lens is its tiny size and weight which, when combined with the wide angle field-of-view and the staggering f/2 maximum aperture, make it an ideal choice for drone operators flying a GH4 (or GH5 in the future) on their multicopter. There is no word on pricing on this lens either, but they promise to be "competitive", which has usually been the case with their lenses so far indeed. We also have their 12mm f/2.8 E-Mount for testing here and will work on a review to be posted in the coming weeks. Thanks to Stefan Haselgruber behind the camera for helping us shoot this interview.Read more

Sigma continue the high performing ART lens range with an ultra-wide Sigma 12-24mm f/4 ART lens, promising no distortion. Landscape scenes, architecture and large spaces can be captured in even wider angles with the new 12-24mm f/4 ART lens, with zero distortion according to Sigma's tests. The lens is designed for full frame and has a uniquely designed front element that aids in reducing the 'fish-eye' look. Aspherical lenses with low dispersion glass (equivalent to flourite in performance) help minimize distortion, chromatic aberration, pin cushion effect and flaring. The body is weather sealed, and the front and rear lenses have splash proof coating. The Sigma 12-24mm f/4 ART lens will be available in EF, Nikon and SA mount, but with the soon coming MC-11 mount converter you can use the lens on E-mount cameras like the Sony a7S II and FS5. The only comparable lens on the market right now is probably the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4 lens. But with the ART lens series quality we've seen before, the promise of no distortion and a pricetag almost half of the Canon, the Sigma 12-24mm f/4 ART lens is certainly an intriguing product for many video shooters and photographers alike. Here are the specs of the lens: 16 elements in 11 groups Aperture of f/4 to f/22 No hard stop focus ring Angle of view – 122 degrees to 84.1 degrees. Minimum focus distance of 24cm. 9 aperture blades Weighing in at 1150g/40.6oz Splash proof front and rear lenses. 102mm front diameter. The Sigma 12-24mm f/4 ART lens will be available in October 2016 and is available for pre-order now.Read more

Tokina has introduced the FíRIN 20mm f/2 FE MF for E-mount, manual video lens, clearly recognising a trend in both photographers and filmmakers using the Sony A7 series cameras. It's great to see manufacturers responding to trends, and Tokina has responded in its own way with the new 'FíRIN' product line dedicated to the E-mount system such as the Sony A6300 and Sony A7SII. One would think that 20mm would introduce spherical distortion and chromatic aberration, but 3 super-low dispersion elements reduce these unwanted effects and increase contrast and resolution. The Tokina FíRIN 20mm f/2 FE MF is not just aimed at photographers, as users can also choose a de-clicked aperture ring from f/2 to f/22 and a wide rotating focus barrel, both of which are pleasing additions for video shooters. Usually wide angle lenses are restricted to a slower aperture, but as technology advances, faster apertures are now being included. We've seen this in other lenses such as the Sigma ART 20mm f/1.4 DG HSM, which, however, does not have a de-clicked aperture. For APS-C cameras, 20mm full-frame focal length gives you roughly 30mm, and a minimum focus distance of 28cm could make it an ideal and flexible lens for portraits and wider scenes. Although the lens has electronic contacts for recording focal length, aperture and optical data, the lens is fully manual for precise control and adjustment whether you're shooting stills or video. To combat flares, Tokina designed a square lens hood, but the way in which the lens incorporates filter use after attaching the hood remains to be seen. We will see at Photokina 2016. Tokina FíRIN 20mm f/2 FE MF – Specifications at a glance: 20mm focal distance f/2 to f/22 aperture Full frame E-mount 13 elements in 11 groups 62mm filter size Minimum focus distance of 28mm/11 inches. 9 aperture blades Full length of 81.5mm Weight of 490g Manual control Square lens hood included Full metal body for rugged protection The Tokina FíRIN 20mm f/2 FE MF is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2017, with pre-orders now available from B&H. We'll be sure to get 'Hands On' with this lens at Photokina next week!Read more

Lens attachment manufacturer Zunow have unveiled their latest wide angle lens attachment at IBC 2016: the WCX-100 for fixed lens cameras. Achieving wide angles when using a fixed lens on a 2/3 inch or 1 inch sensor video camera can be difficult at times. Zunow have a family of 5 lens attachments that widen the field of view by 20% with very low distortion. This video features the WCX-100 model. You are able to fully zoom through on the fixed lens from wide to telephoto with the attachment on, which is an advantage for shooting ENG style news reporting. The WFK-95 is for 4K cameras like the Panasonic DVX-200 and widens the field of view by 0.8x, which makes the image 20% wider. It has a front filter thread of 72mm for use with conventional filters, with a short length of only 35mm. The other lens attachments in the family include – WCX-80 which is compatible with 62/72mm size lenses. WCX-100 wide angle conversion lens which is compatible with 72/77/82mm size lenses. WCX-200 wide angle conversion lens which is compatible with Sony EX Bayonet mount. SWA-06 is a super wide angle attachment, increasing the field of view by 0.6x, compatible with 72/82mm size lenses. The lens attachments are available to purchase now from CVP, with prices ranging from from €536.00, and B&H from $449.00. What do you think of these lens attachments, and would they work for you? Let us know in the comments.Read more

I took the ZEISS Batis 2.8/18, 2/25 and Loxia 2.8/21 for a spin on the Freefly MøVi M5 with the Sony a7SII, filming the same dancer in the same environment several times in order to compare the characteristics of the lenses and how they perform under bright light sources and during movement. photos by Fabian Chaundy Balancing gimbals, and size of wide angle lenses Since the MøVi came out a few years ago, I have used my M10 and M5's on a lot of different productions. Like with all moving camera setups, wide angle lenses on gimbals emphasise movement more than long lenses do. Because of versatility and the ability to move more fluently, I have moved into using the small cameras like the Sony a7S and later the a7SII on the MøVi M5 rig, for example on this music video production on which I also already reviewed the 25mm version of the Batis lens series. Balancing a gimbal is tricky business, and heavily depends on how evenly the weight is distributed. With many traditional wide angle lenses being quite heavy and with a large front diameter, you have to use risers like baseplates and also move the entire setup quite far back, which makes balancing much more difficult. There's only so much you can move a camera back on a gimbal like the MøVi or Ronin before you hit the back motor. Batis 2/25 on Sony a7SII on MøVi M5 Wide-angle Batis lenses This is one of the reasons why gimbal operators like me have been impatiently waiting for lighter and more compact wide angles for a long time. The Batis 2/25 was a step in the right direction, and considering this is a full frame 35mm lens, it is quite wide indeed. However, sometimes it is still not wide enough. Zeiss recently released the 18mm Batis version. At f/2.8, it is one stop slower than the 25mm version, but it's a compromise I am willing to accept due to the fact that they were able to keep the measurements very very similar; only the front diameter was increased to 77mm, which is a very common diameter. Autofocus on Batis The Batis line is predominantly made for photographers because, as I mentioned in last year's review, the lenses feature the focus-by-wire feature which makes repetitive manual focusing extremely hard. However, with autofocus in video becoming better and better, and particularly when working on a gimbal without a remote follow focus puller, that very autofocus feature is indeed worth taking a close look at. In this current test, the autofocus of both the 18mm and the 25mm Batis lenses performed remarkably well on the Sony a7SII. Unfortunately, we didn't have a Sony a7RII in-house for this test, because this camera performs MUCH better using autofocus. The a7SII isn't bad at it, just very slow, which means that fast movements don't always give the right focus immediately. However, with infinity focus kicking in from 2 or 3 meters with most of these wide angle lenses, it's not that noticeable. Watch out for my friend Philip Bloom's upcoming autofocus test of various cameras – the Canon 1DX2 was the overall winner on that, but the Sony a7RII came in at a close second. Loxia 2.8/21 Zeiss's Loxia line is E-Mount-native just like the Batis line, but it serves a different market. The Loxia lenses are extremely small and make the Sony a7 series camera look like a Leica Rangefinder camera when attached. They are fully manual with manual aperture and focus rings, and there are no autofocus functions whatsoever. They are all very similar in size, with minor differences in length. I am honestly quite amazed that they managed to get a 21mm lens into such a small form factor. At f/2.8 just like the Batis 18mm, this is a stop slower than the Batis 2/25. Again, a compromise worth taking. Look comparison: Zeiss Batis and Loxia 18mm, 21mm and 25mm I though it would be a good idea to compare these lenses, as they are very similar in focal length – 18mm, 21mm and 25mm are close enough to all be used on a gimbal for your everyday shoots, on a full-frame 35mm sensor like the a7SII's imager. It's very rare that we get to compare characteristics of lenses and in order to avoid a lot of distraction, I asked Brazilian dancer Rubens Oliveira to help us out. He was visiting Vienna as part of the Impulstanz dancing weeks (thanks to a sponsorship by Red Bull Amaphiko – here on Facebook), and we shot at GUXTU studio in Vienna thanks to Bernhard Klaffensteiner, with a very blank white background. Side-by-side comparison of the Batis 2.8/18, Batis 2/25 and Loxia 2.8/21 This is a very subjective (and non-scientific) lens test, but here are my impressions about the different looks between the Batis and Loxia line of lenses: The Batis has a softer look with more graduated whites and a more graduated diffusion in both shadows and highlights. It appears less "sharp", but probably due to it being just much less contrasty than the Loxia 2.8/21. The higher contrast in the Loxia makes shadows appear deeper and whites brighter, which is quite interesting considering we shot in an S-Log 2 picture profile, which out of the camera appears quite "milky" anyway. If you look at the edges of the frame, the Loxia definitely has more vignetting and geometric distortion, which is certainly due to the smaller build – getting such a wide angle lens in such a tiny package certainly comes with some compromises. A very obvious difference is the lack of autofocus with the Loxia, which means that I had to set the focus to a fixed 2+ meter distance, which is already the infinity focus with the 21mm Loxia. You can see that Rubens is out of focus on some of the close ups in the Loxia portion of the video. Overall, I am surprised how well all of the lenses performed in general, and especially how easy it was to rebalance the MøVi M5 after changing lenses. Bigger lenses can take a VERY long time to balance, but these are all so light and small that they make balancing a breeze, with the Batis line being exceptionally lightweight. However, autofocus is almost a must when you are operating alone. This is why from now on, the Batis 2/25 will probably be my new favourite gimbal lens and will be with me on every shoot. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ photos by Fabian ChaundyRead more

Zeiss has announced the next instalment to their autofocus Batis line. Building on the immense popularity of the previous two, the Batis 18mm f/2.8 comes in as the third and widest most full frame E-mount lens. Introducing the Batis 18mm The Batis line by Zeiss was their first ever venture into auto focus lenses. Sure, many Sony Zeiss lenses are knocking about, but these are all Sony made under Zeiss specification; Batis were a first from pure Zeiss. They were cautious, we only saw a 25mm f/2 and an 85mm f/1.8 to start, but popularity for them has far exceeded expectations, and it's frankly been a pain getting hold of them anywhere! Speaking with Zeiss at BVE, we knew that there were going to be a few new additions to this line-up in time. Enter the 18mm f/2.8. Like the previous two, the Zeiss Batis 18mm f/2.8 is an E-mount full frame lens with auto focus. The smooth rubber focus barrel continuously rotates (no hard stops) and an OLED screen on top gives focus distance readings in manual focus mode. The Batis 18mm f/2.8 naturally provides a very wide angle of view, while maintaining a fast aperture for out of focus detail. Here are the specs: Focal Length: 18mm Aperture Max/Min: f/2.8-22 Lens Mount: Sony E (Full-Frame) Angle of View 99° Minimum Focus Distance 9.84″ (25 cm) Maximum Reproduction Ratio 1:9.5 Elements/Groups 11/10 Filter Thread Front: 77 mm Dimensions (DxL) Approx. 3.94 x 3.15″ (100 x 80 mm) Weight 11.64 oz (330 g) Our partners B&H got an exclusive hands-on with the lens, you can check this out here and some images below. It took me around four months to get hold of my Batis 25mm f/2.0. Being an avid user of the Sony A7RII for photography, I was looking for a high-quality autofocus lens – the wait was absolutely worthwhile; I expect good things from the 18mm f/2.8. $200 separates all three Batis lenses, creeping up in price the wider you go.

by Sebastian Wöber | 26th November 2015
The Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens is one of the fastest wide angle full-frame lenses available today, and certainly the most affordable in its class. I took the new lens for a spin at night and shot in near total darkness with a Sony a7S II. I was really excited when the Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens was announced last month and released just a few days ago. It is easily one of the most intriguing lenses I have seen. Why? Because for me 20mm is a stunning extreme wide angle focal length and this lens brings us great image quality, worthy of 4K video and at the same time it is exceptionally fast. With an open aperture of F/1.4 and with great performance the seemingly high price of $899 is surprisingly low and for me competes with the most professional lenses available. Right click, open this image in new window to see it in full 3840pixel resolution. With the introduction of the new Sony a7S II, we can now shoot brilliant 4K video in extreme lowlight conditions. As we found out just recently, this new Sony mirrorless camera is even more powerful in lowlight than its predecessor, the original a7S. So there was no question when this lens arrived at our office I went out and shot the whole evening just with this lens and entirely at F/1.4. You can observe the result in the video above which I hope you will enjoy. For me it was a pure enjoyment I can tell you, to realize that I needed to get far out of the city in order to push this camera/lens combination to its lowlight limits. I walked through forests, empty parking lots and ended up at a castle and many times the only light source was the moon. I could not see what the camera saw, it was my "night vision device" and the sky was not (!) blue, as it appears to be in the video. Coming back to the editing table I was very happy to find out that the Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens indeed performed very well at its lowest aperture. I pushed the camera to 25,600 and 51,200 ISO max, as in my tests I felt those were the breaking points when it comes to noise for an HD result. In terms of exposure I tried to expose "bright". In lowlight it is important not to use the dark side of the spectrum too much, because this is where the noise is and it has to be cut off. I shot everything in the Slog2 Gamma and graded the film with a "lowlight" LUT I created for this project, that retained most of the spectrum, lowered the dark areas and accented the highlights only slightl. I wanted to go for a low contrast look and I'm pretty happy with the result. I've heard otherwise, but personally I do recommend shooting lowlight in Slog2 as this for me is the perfect starting point for a balanced grade. One thing I did notice about the Sony a7S II in lowlight is that there's apparently some kind of "trick" going on in extreme lowlight. When I filmed my feet walking on grass I realized that there's some ghosting introduced at ISO 51,200. In the shot below you can see multiple frames in one frame. Ghosting effect at high ISO speeds on the sony a7S II Either this is a result of some kind of internal "temporal noise reduction" (this is how it looks to me) that appears on fast moving objects and patterns OR it might also be a result of the low temperature I filmed at (-1 C°). I did not notice the effect in any other shots but this one. How Good is the Lens? Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens For this Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens Review I used the EF version of the lens together with a Metabones Adapter on the Sony a7S II in both 4K video and stills mode. This is not a scientific lens test, because of the lack of reference lenses, but there are a few important things I could observe and want to show you about this lens. While this lens / adapter / camera combination is really not ideal for stills photography I took photos with our high resolution test chart in order to see how good the lens performs on a quality 4K photo / video image. Left: Sigma 20mm Lens @ F/1.4 | Right: Sigma 20mm Lens @ F/8.0 The image above is a shot of our test chart in two different F stops. We can see quite a strong vignetting at F/1.4 in comparison to F/8.0. Personally I like vignetting and I often apply it to my shots in post, but it certainly also darkens your image further than you would like. This means that when you shoot wide open you must know that you are losing about half a stop of light due to vignetting. Here we can also observe distortion, which, for a 20mm lens seems very low. These two attributes (vignetting and distortion) can be corrected in post, but sharpness and chromatic aberration is something that cannot be fixed with plugins, so these for me are the most important factors when it comes to lens quality. Top-Left corner of the test chart to observe chromatic aberration and sharpness Here's a crop of the top left corner of the test chart shot at F/1.4 with the Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens. We can see of course that the leftmost edges of the shot are softer, yet at the same time the kind of sharpness to me is unlike other lenses I've seen shot wide open. Certainly a kind of sharpness absolutely pleasing and mostly sufficient for 4K. If you want a totally clean image, the softness goes away gradually when the lens is stopped down until about F/5.6. In terms of chromatic aberration there is very little of that. Again absolutely stunning performance from this lens in comparison to other lenses I've seen. In my video I did not notice any chromatic aberration in any of the shots. Build Quality One thing you should know: This lens is not lightweight. With 960 grams it is lighter than your full fledged cine lens, but it is double or triple the weight of other mirrorless prime photo lenses you might use for video. That said, the build quality is very nice. The lens feels solid and well made with no flimsy parts. The focus can be set to manual and the lens has an analogue focus ring (unlike most Sony photo lenses). Unfortunately there are no hard stops making it hard to use the lens with any focus gears or focusing tools. Also the focus throw is very narrow and considering the lens has a thin depth of field it can be hard to focus manually at times. The lens is clearly design for the photographer in mind. This is a drawback we're already used to as mirrorless and DSLR video shooters, but it's not ideal for some applications and doesn't provide the best ergonomics. Conclusion This lens kept its promise offering superb quality and while it is made for photography with some ergonomic drawbacks for video it is still among my favourite lenses of all time. The kind of shots I could achieve with this lens, without any noticeable quality loss is amazing and opens up new possibilities for people who like lowlight shooting. Furthermore this lens opens up your path to shallow depth of field at wide angles, which is rarely seen outside of high end professional productions. The biggest highlight about the Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens for me is its price though. At $899 the value for money you get is very high and makes it an affordable option for shooters working with a Sony a7S II. I hope you enjoyed this review.

United States District Court, S.D. New York
December 21, 2005.
SALVATORE SCALA and THOMAS SASSANO, Defendants.
Defendants Salvatore Scala and Thomas Sassano stand indicted
for extortion and conspiracy to commit extortion, with Scala
further charged with three counts of federal income tax evasion.
The government now moves for an anonymous jury and certain other
protective measures. Facts
According to the superseding indictment, Scala and Sassano are
respectively a captain and a soldier in the Gambino organized
crime family.*fn1 A captain is allegedly "responsible for
supervising the criminal activities of his crew and provid[ing]
[s]oldiers and associates with support and protection" and in
turn receives a share of his crew's illegal earnings.*fn2 A
soldier is allegedly a "made" member of the crime family and
participates in criminal endeavors.*fn3 Scala and his crew
allegedly "engaged in extortions, illegal gambling, securities
fraud, and making and collecting extortionate extensions of
credit (`loansharking'), among other crimes."*fn4 In
particular, Scala and Sassano are alleged to have extorted money
from the owner and managers of the V.I.P. Club, a Manhattan
business, from the mid-1990s until 2002.*fn5
Scala was convicted on May 22, 2001 of conspiring to extort
Cherry's Video, an adult entertainment club on Long Island, and
was sentenced on November 2, 2001 to sixty-three months'
imprisonment. The government contends that Sassano has taken over
Scala's crew and criminal operations, including the extortion of
the V.I.P. Club, during Scala's imprisonment.*fn6 Discussion
The government moves for an anonymous jury. Specifically, it
asks for an order that:
"(1) all prospective jurors on the voir dire panel,
as well as the jurors and alternates ultimately
selected, not to reveal their names, addresses, or
places of employment; (2) the jurors be kept together
during recesses and that the United States Marshals
Service take the jurors to lunch, or provide them
lunch, as a group each day throughout the trial; and
(3) the United States Marshals Service transport the
jurors together from the Courthouse each day to an
undisclosed central location, from which they can
leave for their respective communities."*fn7
In the Second Circuit, an anonymous jury "may be warranted when
the jury needs protection, as when the government has
demonstrated a defendant's `willingness . . . to tamper with the
judicial process.'"*fn8 Extensive pretrial publicity in
cases involving allegations of violent conduct may justify
empaneling an anonymous jury.*fn9 A district court should consider several factors when
considering a motion for an anonymous jury, including whether the
charges against the defendants are serious, whether there is a
substantial potential threat of corruption to the judicial
process, and whether considerable media coverage of the trial is
anticipated.*fn10 Here, these factors all weigh strongly in
favor of the government's request.*fn11
Seriousness of Charges
The defendants in this case are charged with two serious
crimes, extortion and conspiracy to commit extortion. The
indictment alleges that Scala and Sassano used "actual and
threatened force, violence, and fear" to extort money and
property from the owners and managers of the V.I.P.
Club.*fn12 As a practical matter, the defendants, if
convicted, could spend considerable time in prison.
Given the seriousness of the charges and the exposure of the
defendants to long periods of incarceration, there are
significant incentives to attempt to subvert the trial process by
threats or violence. Moreover, a jury, unless shielded, well
could fear malevolent action by defendants accused of these
crimes. Threat to Judicial Process
The government has proffered substantial evidence that suggests
a threat to the judicial process in this case, in particular
evidence that Scala has a prior history of jury tampering.
Salvatore Gravano, a former high-ranking member of the Gambino
family, testified at another criminal trial that Scala helped
Gravano bribe a juror in the trial of Eddie Lino, another Gambino
family member.*fn13 Gravano testified also that Scala
participated in the 1988 murder of Wilfred "Willie Boy" Johnson,
a Gambino family associate suspected of cooperating with the
government.*fn14 After Gambino family leaders learned that
Johnson had provided information to the government, the leaders
ordered Johnson's execution.*fn15 According to Gravano, Lino
and Scala carried out the order by shooting and killing
This information is doubly significant. First, it suggests the
existence of a real threat to the trial. Second, it raises a
substantial risk that the jurors, absent anonymity, would fear
reprisal. Indeed, based on the same proffer from the government,
the Second Circuit upheld a grant of an anonymous jury in Scala's recent trial in the Eastern
District.*fn17 Hence, the second factor is
Judging from the amount of publicity that this case has
received to date, the Court is confident in holding that the
publicity that the trial is likely to receive militates in favor
of granting an anonymous jury. Numerous press reports appeared
with regard to the indictment and the upcoming trial was
described three weeks ago in an article recounting the December
1985 slaying of Gambino family leader Paul Castellano.*fn19
Given the amount of press coverage that organized crime
traditionally has received, the profile of the trial is likely to
become higher. In short, this case has received, and likely will
continue to receive, substantial coverage in the media. The defense asserts that anonymity would limit their ability to
conduct voir dire and use their preemptory challenges
effectively, and would implicate Scala and Sassano's presumption
of innocence by implying that the defendants are dangerous people
from whom the jurors must be protected.20 While these are
valid concerns, defendants overstate their case.
As for voir dire and preemptory challenges, the government's
request would not limit inquiry into the occupations of the
jurors, only information about their specific places of
employment. The defense therefore would have access to
information about the jurors' occupations for use in determining
preemptory challenges. Further, the motion seeks only to preclude
the disclosure of jurors' names and "addresses." The Court
intends to inquire as to the county in which each prospective
juror resides. Moreover, the defense will have ample opportunity
to suggest areas of inquiry for voir dire. Thus, the defense
should have no problem in assessing the possible bias of
prospective jurors.
Finally, the Court will present a neutral explanation to the
jury for their anonymous status that will seek to preclude any
negative inferences against the defendants. Such an instruction
will adequately protect the defendants from prejudice.*fn21 Conclusion
The government's motion for an anonymous jury is granted.
Sassano's alternative cross-motion to sever is denied.

Donald Trump and the preachers he resembles
How the worldly Donald Trump dazzles many Christians by resembling their favorite preachers.
Religion News Service (http://religionnews.com/tag/prosperity-gospel/)
How the worldly Donald Trump dazzles many Christians by resembling their favorite preachers.
The pastor, a voice for the prosperity gospel, divurted millions of dollars to his wife's secular singing career.
(RNS) The HBO satirist aims to shine a light on broad IRS tax exemptions for televangelists' prosperity gospel schemes.
(RNS) "The prosperity gospel seems to be fundamentally opposed to the message that Francis has been spreading. But he has shown that he's willing to meet with just about anyone," said Michael Peppard, a professor of theology at Fordham University.
Duke historian Kate Bowler says we've transitioned from the "hard prosperity gospel" of the 1980s to the therapeutic soft sell of Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, and others.
The mega-church pastor has a new message about poverty, wealth, and the prosperity gospel.
SYDNEY (RNS) Perhaps most remarkable is that a globally influential church like Hillsong could flourish at all in Australia, where in 2011 nearly a third of Australians said their religious affiliation was either 'no religion' or not stated.

THE ESTATE OF ELYREE SMILEY, AND GEORGE GIBSON, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,v.BRENDA MCELNEA, ESQUIRE, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Essex County, Docket No. L-2681-08.
Submitted October 21, 2009
Before Judges J.N. Harris and Newman.
This appeal addresses the entire controversy doctrine. Plaintiffs have previously sued defendant relating to the administration of an estate. When sued again for similar remedies, defendant elected to move for summary judgment rather than answer, asserting the entire controversy doctrine as an affirmative defense. Judge Donald S. Goldman granted the motion dismissing the complaint, and this appeal followed.
We affirm.
Plaintiff George Gibson is a beneficiary and the personal representative of the Estate of Elyree Smiley. The decedent died on January 27, 2003. Plaintiff immediately applied for letters testamentary, which were promptly issued. However, a will contest ensued and a temporary administrator - defendant Brenda McElnea - was appointed by the court to oversee the estate while the contest percolated through the Probate Part for two years.
On June 9, 2005, a judgment was entered validating the will and confirming Gibson's right to serve as the personal representative of the estate. He took over the management and administration of the estate from defendant. In short order, plaintiff discovered what he considered to be several questionable transactions that were completed under defendant's stewardship. For example, taxes on bank accounts that should have been borne by beneficiaries - or not paid at all - were paid by the estate upon defendant's instruction. Real estate located in Newark, owned by the estate, suffered water damage in 2004, and insurance may not have been procured to cover the loss. Storage charges were allegedly improperly assessed to the estate by defendant. An exorbitant water bill for the Newark property was improvidently paid by the estate.
In order to remedy the perceived economic damage to the estate and to protect his interests as a beneficiary, plaintiff commenced a series of actions against defendant. The first was a Small Claims action in his own name; the second was a probate action in his capacity as personal representative of the estate. They were treated as components of a single Probate Part matter.*fn1
This combined litigation - resolved by a final judgment dated June 22, 2006 - vindicated, for the most part, plaintiff's position.
Two years later, on March 31, 2008, plaintiff filed a four*fn2-count complaint against defendant in the Law Division. The primary theory against defendant was breach of fiduciary duty regarding 1) the failure to properly catalog the assets of the estate, 2) the failure to properly insure the real estate of the estate, 3) the failure to hire licensed movers for the personal property of the estate, and 4) the failure to perform other unspecified actions on behalf of the estate. Judge Goldman reviewed the prior litigation and determined that there was a failure to abide the entire controversy doctrine. He granted defendant's motion for summary judgment on that ground and dismissed the complaint:
[T]he fact of the matter is, that Judge Weeks handled these claims, dealt with them in their entirety. There are just so many bites of the apple and whether or not the claims were blown in some way, either intentionally, unintentionally, negligently, or otherwise, should not bar the application of the Entire Controversy Doctrine. Motion for summary judgment is granted.
Plaintiff argues that he was unaware of the constraints of the entire controversy doctrine when he initiated the similar, if not almost-identical, action against defendant two years earlier. He asserts that he was deprived by the Probate Part judge of fully litigating some issues, but he never filed an appeal from the alleged incomplete adjudication. He argues that a pro se litigant is entitled to "greater rights than are litigants who are represented," citing Rubin v. Rubin, 188 N.J. Super. 155 (App. Div. 1982) for that proposition. He chides the Probate Part, stating in his brief:
[T]he court in the original action was required to be sure that plaintiff was aware of his rights in pursuit of the action against this defendant. At no time was this done. As a result, plaintiff was limited as to what could be raised in that proceeding.
The entire controversy doctrine requires litigants in a civil action to raise all affirmative claims arising from a single controversy that each party might have against another party, including counterclaims and cross-claims. R. 4:30A. It is a preclusionary device, intended to prevent fractionalized litigation by insisting that a party assert all claims arising from a single controversy in a single action. Prevratil v. Mohr, 145 N.J. 180, 190 (1996). See also DiTrolio v. Antiles, 142 N.J. 253, 267 (1995) (citing Cogdell v. Hospital Center, 116 N.J. 7, 15 (1989)).
The doctrine applies to successive suits with interrelated claims. Id. at 268. "In determining whether successive claims constitute one controversy for purposes of the doctrine, the central consideration is whether the claims against the different parties arise from related facts or the same transaction or series of transactions." Id. at 267. It is the factual context "giving rise to the controversy itself, rather than a commonality of claims, issues or parties, that triggers the requirement of joinder to create a cohesive and complete litigation." Mystic Isle Dev. Corp. v. Perskie & Nehmad, 142 N.J. 310, 323 (1995); see also DiTrolio, supra, 142 N.J. at 267- 68 ("It is the core set of facts that provides the link between distinct claims against the same or different parties and triggers the requirement that they be determined in one proceeding.").
Although it is designed to promote effective use of the courts, it cannot be used as an inequitable sword against a litigant. Here that efficacy was not realized. Rather, it appears that plaintiff is using successive litigation as a club against defendant. He should not be permitted to sue, then investigate more, then sue, then investigate even further, ad infinitum. All of the claims that plaintiff asserted against defendant in this action were well within the penumbra of the factual matrix that was litigated to a conclusion in 2006 in the Probate Part. Plaintiff was not obliged, even as a fiduciary, to race to the courthouse and sue defendant upon retaking the role as personal representative of the estate. Instead, plaintiff was under the equally important duty of ensuring fairness to defendant and to the administration of justice by completing his due diligence and combining all claims in one action.
We are unpersuaded by the authorities upon which plaintiff relies. In Rubin, we held that the trial court mistakenly exercised its discretion in refusing to permit a pro se litigant to address, either orally or in writing, the merits of a motion he opposed, because "[w]hen an unrepresented litigant appears in court pursuant to a notice of motion, reasonably expecting from the text of the notice that his procedural rights will be protected by his appearance in court on the noticed date, he is ordinarily owed the fulfillment of that expectation." Rubin v. Rubin, supra, 188 N.J. Super. at 159. We permit an appropriate relaxation of the strictures of our rules for a pro se litigant to avoid the denial of fundamental due process. Nevertheless, while a pro se litigant who fails to abide by court rules is not entitled to greater rights than one represented by counsel, he is still entitled to procedural due process. Plaintiff, however, was not deprived of such due process in this case.
"Procedural rules are not abrogated or abridged by plaintiff's pro se status." Rosenblum v. Boro. of Closter, 285 N.J. Super. 230, 241 (App. Div. 1995), certif. denied, 146 N.J. 70 (1996). Significantly, if litigants choose to represent themselves, "they must understand that they are required to follow accepted rules of procedure promulgated by the Supreme Court to guarantee an orderly process." Id. at 241-42 (quoting Tuckey v. Harleysville Ins. Co., 236 N.J. Super. 221, 224 (App. Div. 1989)).
We find plaintiff's arguments unimpressive, particularly in the absence of an appeal from any of the Probate Part proceedings. Plaintiff cannot collaterally attack alleged deprivations of his rights as a result of an incomplete adjudication in the Probate Part. His remedy for those perceived grievances would have been a direct appeal. Likewise, he cannot bootstrap those allegations into a loophole in an attempt to circumvent our entire controversy jurisprudence.

So I thought of charging the iPhone with my iPad wallcharger while I'm at home. The question is, since the ipad wallcharger has 10w and the iphone charger only 5w, will my iphone explode or something? or is it fully charged in like half of the time it would take with the iphone charger?
