To My Fellow Republicans:
It is with conviction that I ask for your support for an Iowa Republican Unity Delegation to our National Convention. This would represent the full spectrum of conservative thought and candidate support.
First of all, the facts:
1) In August 2011, a Straw Poll was held in Ames. Congresswoman Michele Bachman won with Congressman Ron Paul placing second.
2) In January 2012 over 120,000 Republicans statewide participated in the Iowa Caucuses. This is the clearest indicator of who Iowa Republicans support for the presidential nomination of our party. Senator Santorum won in a photo finish with Governor Romney placing second, only 36 votes behind. Further back was Congressman Paul in third and Speaker Gingrich in fourth.
3) The Nominating Committee, coming out of the District Conventions in April, has nominated a slate that is overwhelming committed to Rep. Paul. Of the delegates, the protocol appointments of Senator Grassley and Governor Branstad are exceptions.
I believe this delegate slate is detrimental to our Party for the following reasons:
1) An essentially all Paul delegation does not by any measure reflect the way Iowa Republicans voted at the caucuses.
2) Having a slate so at odds with the reality of how Iowa Republicans voted will hurt our Party's chances for further growth in terms of increasing our voter registration numbers and hamper fund raising efforts.
3) We will significantly jeopardize Iowa's first in the nation status by our delegation being totally out of alignment with the candidates our party registrants voted for.
Our solution is twofold:
1) We need to attend District Caucuses on the night of Friday, June 15th in Des Moines and support Unity Delegates representing all campaigns. Three delegates plus three alternates and a Presidential Elector will be selected per district at those caucuses.
2) On Saturday June 16th at the State Convention support a statewide Unity Slate of Delegates to represent Iowa at the National Convention. Voting for and having a balanced Unity Delegation is right thing to do, right for our party and the principles we stand for.

Look in the sky. Is it a plane, a UFO or leftover fireworks from earlier this month?
If the time is just after sunset and you are looking west, it is the goddess of beauty, the god of war, and the god of agriculture.
Huh? They are normally enemies, a strange trio to be gathering in a small group. The group is three planets, which are the namesakes of these gods and goddess. From brightest to dimmest the list reads: Venus, Saturn and Mars. To view, look west and up at 9 o'clock.
BOLIVIA—A former Southport Police officer has been indicted on four charges.
A Brunswick County Grand Jury on Monday, July 19, returned true bills of indictment on David Benjamin Rivenbark, charging him with altering, destroying or stealing criminal evidence, misdemeanor larceny, embezzlement by a local officer or employee and obstruction of justice, according to court documents.
Southport Police Chief Jerry Dove said Rivenbark, 25, who had been with the department as a probationary officer for about 13 months, resigned June 24.
The Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) Team is a support unit, whose primary functions are traffic enforcement and assisting in the apprehension of drug traffickers in the county. The ACE team conducts driving while impaired and driver's license checkpoints, as well as street-level investigations on controlled substances.
The ACE team works with the sheriff's office K-9 Enforcement Team and Drug Enforcement Unit to apprehend narcotics suspects as well as saturating hot spots where criminal activity is reported.
BOLIVIA—Attorneys for the plaintiff and the defendant agree—Terri Oxford and Holden Beach Police Chief Wally Layne did not get along while Oxford worked as a police officer at the town of Holden Beach.
But what a Brunswick County jury must decide is whether Oxford was wrongfully terminated from the Holden Beach Police Department by Layne based on her gender.
In October 2008, Oxford sued the town of Holden Beach for wrongful termination and gender discrimination. Testimony in the lawsuit began Monday, July 19, in Brunswick County Superior Court.
Officials expect to break ground on the new First Bank location in Shallotte this September, and the building should take about six months to complete.
According to First Bank City Executive Dave Kesterson, the company's engineers are going through some last-minute revisions to the original plan to meet the town of Shallotte's specifications.
He said a new building on the 1-acre property off Whiteville Road would be a welcome change from the temporary location now in use on Main Street.
Local economic development and job training officials are happy about the state's 2010-2011 budget, which includes continued funding for a number of job creation opportunities in Brunswick County and the surrounding region.
After three years of construction, St. Brendan Catholic Church on Ocean Highway in Shallotte will officially move into its new sanctuary starting with Sunday Mass at 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.
That afternoon, at 2 p.m., the congregation and staff will dedicate the new 9,000 square-foot building, with seating for 1,100 people, with a special ceremony including a speech from Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Diocese of Raleigh.
HOLDEN BEACH—Retired firefighter Steve Greene thought he'd left his lifesaving days behind him when he moved here three years ago, but last Saturday put him back on the job—and many people are glad he was there.
Greene and his wife Becky were spending time on the Holden Beach strand Saturday when Becky noticed something in the water.
"I looked up and thought it was either a deflated raft or a person," Steve Greene recalled.
He immediately ran to check and found it was a person and she needed help.
The Shallotte Planning Board is recommending a change to the town's rezoning regulations to give residents more input into zoning changes that affect their neighborhoods.
At last week's meeting, the board recommended adding a requirement to notify adjacent property owners of planning board meetings so they can voice their opinions before the issue goes to the board of aldermen.
Town planner Allen Serkin explained that a group of residents on Hinson Street attended last month's meeting to find out about a proposed rezoning in their neighborhood.
Grady Eyler, 3, of Haymarket, Va., teed off at River Country Miniature Golf on Ocean Isle Beach on a recent summer day. It was the family's first stay on the beach, but Grady's mother said it wouldn't be the last.

ADCC Finaland just lost one of the most hyped superfights.
Due to injury American Top Team Ricardo Liborio will be unable to face Bellator light heavyweight Chael Sonnen.
Liborio reportedly suffered a knee injury in training and was told he'll be unable to recover in time.
Liborio has an incredibly impressive record and is one of the highest esteemed coaches around. Back in 2015 he managed to defeat Ze Mario Sperry at ADCC 2015 in Sao Paulo.
Liborio reportedly tore through his ACL and will have to undergo surgery. He fully intends to keep competing in future.
It's unclear at this time if Chael Sonnen will be grappling someone else come September. However he is scheduled to face Wanderlei Silva in the 180th edition of Bellator on June 24th.
The 2017 edition of Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championship will take place at the Espoo Metro Areena in Espoo, Finland, between Sept. 22 and Sept. 24.

Staples is offering the chance to stream high-def content at an unbeatable price, while Groupon cuts huge discounts off a wide range of Apple gear and accessories. You'll find all these and more in this roundup of the week's best Apple deals.
Week's best Apple deals: Big discounts on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and more
This week's best Apple deals include some amazing offers on hardware, from refurbs to open-box devices to brand-new MacBook Airs. Read on to see these savings and more.
Made in China: These apps are killing it on iPhone
Mainland China is Apple's second biggest market, and will one day be its first. The company is making a big push on the mainland, opening new stores and investing in home-grown companies. Why the interest? Because China is the new Japan — it's where the future is happening. All this week we take a look at the cutting-edge apps that define mobile life on the mainland.
SHANGHAI CITY, China — Just like their U.S. counterparts, Chinese youth obsess over their smartphones. But while the phones they use look the same, the apps are quite different: China has its own must-have apps that keep users' eyes glued to screens at all hours of the day.
Some Chinese apps seem quite similar to their Western counterparts, but others boast innovative and intriguing features. Apple's clearly interested: While slowing growth in China put a dent in APPL stock, Cupertino recently made a strategic $1 billion investment in Chinese Uber rival Didi Chuxing.
What other apps in China might grab Apple's attention? Tim Cook could start his due diligence with this list of powerhouse Chinese iPhone apps. The country's young people use these apps to listen to music, make purchases, get around town, interact with others and maintain their online identities.
These Chinese apps are impressive and convenient, and they are showing us the future of mobile: a world where everything is at our fingertips.
This week's best Apple deals: iPad mini 4 and Targus iPad cases [Deals]
Grab an Apple iPad mini 4 64GB WiFi and 4G Tablet for $500. Or, get your hands on a case for your iPad for just $10. These deals and more are part of this week's best Apple bargains.
This week's hottest deals on iPad Pro, Apple accessories, more
One of Apple's hottest products — the powerful new 9.7-inch iPad Pro, which Cult of Mac called the most important iPad since the original — is already selling at a discount.
We've got the scoop on that sale — plus sweet deals on other great gear, including refurbished MacBooks and spiffy Apple accessories — in this roundup of the best Apple deals you'll find online this week.
Save over $200 on a refurbished iPhone 6 or 6 Plus
Here's another great deal on Apple gear, with $229 off a 16, 64, or 128 gigabyte iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. You can still buy the last-generation handset over at Apple, but only in the 16 or 64 gigabyte configurations, so if you're looking for a high-capacity iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, this is your day.
These iPhone models are still fantastic, and this deal is kind of amazing, especially if you pay up front for your iPhones these days to save a bit of money in the long run.
Groupon bundles offer best deal yet on Apple Watch
Looking to pick up an Apple Watch but don't want to spend extra on watch bands or a charging stand?
Groupon has your dream bundle, then, with a Sport edition of Apple's famous wearable, along with third-party knockoffs of the Milanese Loop and leather strap and a charging stand all for the price of the actual Apple Watch.
Groupon Wants Everyone To Run Their Business On An iPad
You see more and more of them every day: iPads, doubling as cash registers in businesses small and large, thanks to forward-thinking mobile payment companies like Square. Now Groupon, the deals-and-couponing social network, is getting in on the game with Breadcrumb, an incredible point-of-sale system which makes integrating an iPad into your business as simple as if Apple made the product themselves.
Groupon Adopts UDID Alternative That Could Become Standard For Developers
Just six months after announcing that developers must stop accessing a device's unique device identifier (UDID) within their iOS apps, Apple put its rule into practice last week amid increasing privacy concerns surrounding mobile apps. Any app submitted for App Store approval will soon be rejected if its attempts to access a UDID, and developers need an alternative.
That alternative could come from AppRedeem, a mobile advertising platform for app discovery, branding and monetization, which has developed a system called Organizational Specific Device Identifier, or "ODID," already being used by Groupon.
Learn How To Build Powerful Programs With Our Discounted Ruby Course [Deals.CultofMac]
There are less than 12 hours left on our awesome deal for the Ruby programming course. Head over to Deals.CultofMac.com to check it out
What do Groupon, Twitter, Hulu, and 37 Signals all have in common? They all use the incredibly powerful, dynamic, and highly scalable programming language of Ruby or Ruby on Rails. Why is that supposed to get your heart fluttering? Because this language is the future of the web. Not being a developer myself, I shamelessly Googled to find out why Ruby on Rails is such a popular language/framework and I came across a Quora post from Ian MacLeod that sums it up nicely:
1. The Ruby community moves quickly, adopting new technologies and patterns – and refactoring or throwing out the old. Programmers love being on the cutting-edge.
2. Ruby seems to be one of those languages that maps well to a developer's mental model. It's frequently mentioned as one of a few languages that developers find a joy to code in.
3. Ruby is one of the major languages that promotes widespread use of "language magic" to createeasily-readable DSLs. This makes it very easy for casual developers to learn the language.
So, whether you want to start your company or just lock-in job security for the rest of your life…this tutorial is where it all starts.
With more than 27 step-by-step video lectures, this Ruby Programming course is only $79 (normally its 3x that much…and well worth it) and will teach you the ten steps to creating your first web app.

Naylor: I can inspire Millers
Veteran defender Richard Naylor is relishing his role off the field as much as on it at Rotherham.
Last Updated: 24/01/12 12:27pm
Veteran defender Richard Naylor is relishing his role off the field as much as on it at Rotherham.
The 34-year-old was brought in on a short-term deal until the end of the season a fortnight ago following his release from Championship side Doncaster.
Although he has been on the substitutes' bench for the first two games since his arrival - both home defeats - the former Leeds and Ipswich centre-half is aware he has a job to do in the dressing room.
"That's obviously one of the reasons why the gaffer has brought me here," Naylor said. "He obviously thinks it's something that's lacking and I'll be talking a lot in the dressing room.
"That's the way I have gone about my business since I have been a senior player and I will continue to do that."
Manager Andy Scott added: "Bringing him in is a big plus. His demeanour around the place is great and he has quiet words with people."

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Gunmen Attack Egyptian Christians, Kill Six
- Uzbek Court Overturns Baptist Fines
- Joel Osteen Blesses Houston's New Gay Mayor
- Dobson Plans New Radio Ministry
Gunmen Attack Egyptian Christians, Kill Six
Christian Post reports that five Coptic Christians and one Egyptian policeman are dead following a drive-by shooting at a church. On Dec. 6, when Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas Eve, three gunmen fired on a shopping district in the southern town of Nagaa Hammadi before a Christmas Eve Mass and afterwards on worshippers who were leaving the church. The lead attacker is reportedly Muslim. The church's bishop said he had received threats in the days leading up the attacks, and ended the service an hour early hoping to avoid any conflict. "For days, I had expected something to happen on Christmas Eve," he told the Associated Press. At least seven other people were reportedly injured. On Dec. 7, relatives of those killed in the shooting smashed ambulances outside the hospital where the bodies have been kept, demanding them for a Christian burial.
Uzbek Court Overturns Baptist Fines
Baptist Press reports that a court in Uzbekistan has overturned massive fines levied against three Baptist Union leaders in late October but upheld their suspect criminal convictions. An order barring the three from holding responsible positions in the Baptist Union for three years also remains in place. Baptist Union President Pavel Peichev, union accountant Yelena Kurbatova and Baptist layman Dmitri Pitirimov were relieved the fines -- which equaled 260 times the monthly minimum wage -- were overturned but say they planned to appeal the Dec. 4 ruling. The charges of evading taxes and involving children in religious activity without their or their parents' consent were based on assemblies held at the union's Joy Baptist Children's Camp, which was directed by Pitirimov. The three were convicted even though some of the parents involved denied their children were forced to listen to religious teaching.
Joel Osteen Blesses Houston's New Gay Mayor
USA Today reports that megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen took an active part in supporting Houston's newly-elected mayor, who is also a lesbian. The pastor of the 45,000-member Lakewood Church swore in Annise Parker and gave the opening prayer at the ceremony. Osteen, who has told celebrities such as Larry King and Whoopi Goldberg that homosexuality is not "God's best," has avoided condemning homosexuality in strong terms. "She's our mayor. Joel doesn't view Annise through a gay lens," Don Iloff, Jr., spokesman for Lakewood Church in Houston, told The Christian Post. "He sees her as a person." Osteen prayed for the previous mayor, Bill White, at his inauguration. "If you ask Joel he'll tell you 'when I can pray at an event over government leaders and in Jesus' name it's hard to resist,'" Iloff said.
Dobson Plans New Radio Ministry
Religion News Service reports that Dr. James Dobson will leave the "Focus on the Family" Christian radio program in late February but will continue on the airwaves through a new ministry. Officials at the Colorado-based ministry that Dobson founded three decades ago say they don't see his plans, which Dobson announced on his Facebook page, as competition. "No, we don't view that as competition," said Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger on Tuesday (Jan. 5). "We believe that people believe in what Focus on the Family is doing and that they'll continue to do so." Focus plans to continue the radio program, which will feature Focus president and CEO Jim Daly, on-staff family psychologist Juli Slattery and other experts on parenting, marriage and culture, possibly including Dobson. In his announcement, Dobson said his new 30-minute daily program will be "much like what you have heard on Focus on the Family for the past 33 years."

Vishal is awaiting with bated breath for the release of his upcoming film 'Avan Ivan' which has been made meticulously by director Bala. The film, which has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, has Vishal and Arya playing roles that both have never essayed so far in their respective careers. The icing on the cake, observers point out, would be Vishal's 'squint-eyed' act throughout the film.
Vishal, though feels very proud to be a part of Bala's 'Avan Ivan', has said that he would never ever agree to play such a role in future, even if he is offered a hefty sum.
On his tough experience, he says, "In Avan Ivan, my role is of a person with squint eyes. I struggled a lot and underwent great difficulty in maintaining the particular 'stare' for the character throughout the film. The trials and tribulations that I underwent during the making of Avan Ivan was something that can't be described with mere use of words. I consulted an ophthalmologist who advised me against trying out such a look for a long time and said that it might even cause 'damage' to the brain. I didn't give up and went ahead with it.
I'm thankful about the fact that I happen to be the only actor who has performed such a role for the full duration of the film worldwide. My well wishers say that I might find a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for it.
I'm thankful to Aarya without whose help this (starring in Bala's film) wouldn't have been realized. Arya who has been my friend for the past 16 years, is a great person who doesn't have any ego, jealous."
Vishal is currently acting in another Tamil film 'Prabha', which is being directed by Prabhudeva. On his marriage plans, the actor says, ""I've absolutely no plans for marriage in the near future."

50 Cent The Big 10
December 10, 2011 by staff
50 Cent The Big 10, 50 Cent has been making news for charity and other business ventures lately, but today, he hopes to bring attention back to his original hustle: music. To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of his seminal mixtape 50 Cent Is The Future, the G-Unit capo just dropped The Big 10, a collection of all original music that also showcases his new G-Unit artists Paris and Kidd Kidd.
"I took influences from big hit records in the past, but I didn't actually take the song[s]," 50 explained to MTV this week at a launch party for his SMS Audio headphones line. "…"There's different things that might strike a chord with me to make me want to do something creatively, that the public just sees it as a new song or a new effort. But I have something else that makes it matter more to me."
50 sounds grittier here than on more recent pop offerings like "Ayo Technonlogy." Armed with beats by the likes of DJ Khalil, Jake One, !llmind and Scoop Deville, his old school fans will find what made them fall in love with him in the first place: great beat selection, imposing mic presence, and tough as nails rhymes.

The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is a separate and distinct jurisdiction established within the UAE in 2004 as a financial free zone, in which the civil and commercial laws of the UAE are disapplied. The DIFC has its own court system operating in English (the DIFC courts) and operates under its own common law legal system (in stark contrast to the local onshore Dubai courts, which is an Arabic civil law system).
The DIFC is also home to its own arbitral institute (the DIFC-LCIA), and the DIFC is increasing in popularity as the seat of international arbitrations. As the curial court for arbitrations seated within the DIFC, the DIFC courts are used to enforcing awards issued by the DIFC-LCIA within the DIFC. A protocol of enforcement also exists with the onshore Dubai courts enabling the enforcement of DIFC awards onshore in Dubai.
In December 2014, in a truly innovative move, the DIFC courts released Practice Direction Y of 2015[i]for a final period of consultation. If implemented, this would provide a unique mechanism for the conversion of a DIFC court judgment into a DIFC arbitral award and open up all of the potential international avenues of enforcement from which arbitration awards benefit (for example, through the New York Convention). It would be the first mechanism of its kind across the globe.
The final consultation period in respect of Practice Direction Y of 2015 closed in January 2015 and an update from the DIFC courts is awaited with anticipation.
Key features
The conversion procedure would be available where there is a dispute over non-payment of a DIFC court judgment in respect of a monetary sum. Separate and distinct arbitral proceedings would take place dealing solely with the issue of non-payment of the DIFC court judgment. The award of the tribunal would, on paper, then be capable of enforcement through all internationally recognised avenues.
Interestingly, as drafted, the practice direction would not affect a DIFC judgment creditor's ability to enforce the DIFC court judgment through the usual available channels (for example, through execution proceedings in the DIFC courts, or through the Protocol on Enforcement that exists with the onshore Dubai courts, or through any of the international treaty options that exist in the UAE).
Practice Direction Y of 2015 also contains strict criteria that define the circumstances in which such conversion arbitral proceedings are likely to be available to parties with a dispute over non-payment of a DIFC court judgment. In summary, the criteria (each of which must be satisfied) are that:
- The judgment has taken effect in accordance with [DIFC] Rule 36.30
- The judgment is not in respect of an employment contract or consumer contract which is subject to Article 12(2) of the Arbitration Law 2008 precluding arbitration in respect of such contracts
- The judgment is not subject to any appeal and the time permitted for a party to the judgment to apply for permission to appeal has expired
- There is a payment dispute in relation to the judgment and
- The judgment creditor and judgment debtor have agreed in writing that any payment dispute between them shall be referred to arbitration pursuant to this Practice Direction.
This exciting development in DIFC court procedure is likely to have a beneficial impact on arbitration practice and procedure in the UAE.
If the practice direction was to come into force, DIFC court judgment creditors would be provided with a further avenue for enforcement, both locally within the UAE and internationally. This is welcomed as it can only bolster the UAE's ambition to be one of the world's leading dispute resolution venues.
That said, the fifth criteria set out in Practice Direction Y of 2015 (as set out above) raises some doubts as to the impact of the practice direction, at least in the short term. Much is likely to depend on the willingness of locally based entities (under the guidance of their lawyers) to draft appropriate dispute resolution frameworks into their underlying contracts, as the circumstances in which a DIFC court judgment debtor would agree to such conversion arbitral proceedings once already faced with an adverse DIFC court judgment are likely to be limited.

The Sport Hatch and Hatch (three- and five-door) cars officially unveiled by Renault today share the controversial Vel Satis "backslash" rear roofline.
Obviously, the high roof grants plenty of rear headroom, but let's just say it's a look that will have to grow on us. Renault is more bullish about it, describing the design as "powerful, expressive".
Renault says the new cars are important, since they're the first built on the new Renault-Nissan C platform, upon which around 25 percent of all alliance cars (about 1.8 million of 'em, we're told) will be built by 2006.
Eventually, there will be seven Megane II variants all up. And, it seems, at least some of them will come here.
Renault's press release says the first six variants will be launched in Europe over 12 months, starting in October, and in "Asia Pacific" during the second half of 2003.
While we're going to have to make up our minds about its looks, the new Megane definitely is impressive on paper. It also gets the Laguna's keyless entry and ignition system, and the interior is said to be the first mass production application of so-called Touch Design technology.
Electronics include availability of a Carminat navigation system, speed-limiter cruise control and sensor-controlled automatic wipers and headlights.
It's also said to be the first Renault to use a new-generation electronic stability program.
There's also available what Renault describes as a world-first anti-submarining airbag system.
There are three 16-valve four-cylinder petrol engines in the first cars: 73kW 1.4-litre; 86kW 1.6-litre VVT; and, 101kW 2.0-litre VVT. There are two diesel dCi engines: a 60kW 1.5-litre and a 90kW 1.9-litre.
Renault also says the Megane II is built to the requirements of Life-cycle Environmental Management (LEM), involving reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while optimising the recyclability of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs).

We travelled away to ASIJ to play them in our first regular season match-up, and came out victorious after 90 minutes. Our goal was to play together as a team, and give a better defensive showing than we did previously here, we did both and then some. From the first minute we played with a purpose, and each player carried out their role perfectly. After some early important saves Shuhei Oomiya left the field injured, which meant Nikhil Reddy (usually forward) came in to play as keeper. Nikhil made several important saves with the game tied at 0-0, and was a big reason to why we won. Midway through the first half Koji Kuo earned and converted a penalty to put us up 1-0. Soon after Abir Singh was quick to capitalise on a mistake in the ASIJ defence to put away our second of the day.
The second half saw ASIJ become more attacking as they looked for a way back into the game, but our defence as a team was immense, everyone working for each other. We were able to counter-attack well, and this is how we scored our third goal. We went from defence to attack in a matter of seconds and found Abir in the ASIJ half with space to attack the defence. Abir turned his defender and made a composed finish into the bottom corner to make it 3-0. From this point we defended well to see out the game, giving up a late consolation goal, but that didn't dampen the celebrations at the end as we beat our closest rivals 3-1, in a game we deserved to win. Everyone was ecstatic afterwards, as they should be, they all earned this victory!
Go Titans!

Taking a test is stressful. Especially if you are taking it in a new language. To make sure there are no surprises that next time you have an exam in English; read about the different types of assessments (or tests), the common types of questions on exams in English and some frequently asked questions about tests.
Types of Assessments
• Exam/Mid-Term/Final Exam: Usually long (1-3 hours) and cumulative (of everything you learned in class or semester). The TOEFL or the IETLS are exams that many English Language Learners take.
• Test: Anywhere from 20-1 hour. Tests are usually about a certain subject or chapter that has been studied in class.
• Quiz/Pop Quiz: Sometimes quizzes are announced others are not. Quizzes are usually short and take a 5-15 minutes to complete.
• Take Home Test/Exam: Is a test that the teacher hands in the classroom and you do it at home and turn it in the next class period.
• Open Book Test: A Test where you can use your text books and/or notes to help you complete it.
• Paper/Report: These are written assessments that are completed on your own time. Subject and length will vary. A paper would show your written knowledge about a subject or have a certain purpose.
• Projects: There are many types of projects that are completed in school. You might do a project for a science or multicultural fair or about a certain subject that you have researched.
• Oral Interview: You sit with the teacher (or proctor) one-on-one and answer a variety of questions to the best of your ability. The teacher would record or take notes as you speak to help give you a grade later.
The majority of exams, tests and quizzes are taken individually; so, you showing what you know. Sometimes teachers let you take a test or quiz with a partner but this is not very common. It is more common to work with other students on projects and reports.
Types of Questions on Tests
Multiple Choice: The questions is written with possible answers. You need to choose which answer is correct.
Multiple Choice Example Question: What language is most commonly spoken in the United States? A. Portuguese B. Japanese C. Arabic D. English
Essay: A written test where you answer a question or prompt. When taking an essay test, you write all the information you know about the topic in a paragraph.
Essay Example Question: What are some of the similarities and differences between the political systems of China and Egypt?
Fill in the blank/Cloze: For this type of questions you will read the text for the general meaning and fill in the words using a word bank or list of words provided for you.
Fill in the Blank Example Question:
The _______________ House is in Washington D.C. It is where the president of the ___________ ____________ lives.
True/False Questions: For this type of question you need to determine if the statement is true (correct) or false (incorrect).
True/False Example Question: The capital of Brazil is Rio de Janeiro. True or False
Common Questions and Answers about Tests
http://www.english-tonight.com/TT1.mp3 When is the test?
• The test is tomorrow.
• It's next Wednesday.
• The day after we finish the unit.
• Check the syllabus.
"Syllabus" is an outline of the class that many high school and university teachers give to their students at the beginning of a class. It tells everything that will happen, what will be studied, and when assignments and exams are.
http://www.english-tonight.com/TT2.mp3 What's on the test?
• It's on Chapters 3 and 4
• It is on the future continuous tense.
• The test will be on World War II.
• You should know if you were listening. It's on 18th Century Art History.
By asking you teacher this you should have a better understanding of what to study for and what not to study for.
http://www.english-tonight.com/TT3.mp3 What grade did I get on the test? or How did I do on the test?
• Let me check… You got an 'A'. Good job!
• You failed the test. You got less than half right.
"Failed" means did not pass.
• You got 84% on the test.
• I haven't had time to grade them yet. Check back next week.
Exams and tests are graded differently in most schools and universities. It is best to as your English professor how they grade tests at the beginning of the class. In the United States, letter grades (A, B, C, D and F) are often used. Other schools use percentages out of 100.
http://www.english-tonight.com/TT4.mp3 Can I retake the test?
• Yes, you can retake the questions you got wrong.
• You can retake one test per semester.
• No, you can't retake the test. You will have to studying harder next time.
Retake means to take a test again or have a second chance. This is not very common but some teachers do occasionally let their students retake tests and quizzes.

CRUDE, vulgar and politically-incorrect gags might be Peter Farrelly's stock in trade.
But the great uncle of gross out humour says his first fully fledged family film proved less of a challenge than people might expect.
"Every time we pushed it in a way that wouldn't have been PG, it didn't feel right," Farrelly says of his latest project, The Three Stooges.
"Because the Stooges are innocents. When you are writing, you go over the line all the time. We didn't pull back because we were worried it wouldn't attract a PG rating, we pulled it back because it felt un-Stoogey."
Farrelly, who with brother Bobby has been responsible for such comedy classics as Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary, reckons some subjects are just naturally PG.
"There's no language. No sex," he says. "And the violence is cartoon violence."
"Despite all the hitting, slapping, punching, The Three Stooges love each other. That relationship is the heart and soul of the film. But the thing that makes it work, hopefully, is the laughs."
Peter and Bobby Farrelly's love for the Stooges dates back to their Rhode Island childhood.
"They were a huge influence. The town we grew up in didn't have a movie theatre, so the comedy we saw was on TV. The Three Stooges and The Andy Griffith Show were our favourites."
Four decades on, the time seemed ripe to introduce them to a whole new generation of children.
But in paying homage to Moe, Larry and Curly, the Farrelly brothers didn't want to duplicate the original material.
"We loved the Stooges but we didn't want to do what they did. (These guys) look the same, they dress the same, they act the same, but we gave them all new material."
The Farrelly brothers wrote the first draft of the screenplay 13 years ago, but it has been through many versions in the intervening years.
At one stage Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro and Jim Carrey were in talks to play the three leads.
"They would have been great. Those guys are sensational. However, the whole time you'd be watching the movie you'd be thinking 'I am watching Jim Carrey be Curly'."
Farrelly is more than happy with the actors - Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso - who were eventually cast.
"They are spectacular. They look exactly like the Three Stooges."
Casting relative unknowns also reined in the film's budget - to $30 million - an added bonus given the Farrelly brothers' dwindling returns at the box office.
"It sucks that our early movies were making more than these (later ones), and believe me, it keeps me awake at night," says Farrelly.
"If you really look at it - the rankings of our movies - then it's been all downhill since Dumb and Dumber.
"However, all our movies make money. And I don't regret a movie we have made. I love them all."
Having said that, the Farrelly brothers are about to revisit the film that made their career.
"We have never done a sequel. We could have. We could have done There is Something Else about Mary, for instance. We didn't want to. It didn't seem natural. It felt like a money grabber," says Farrelly (who had no association with the prequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd.
"But with Dumb & Dumber, we always wanted to do a sequel, it's just that Jim wasn't ready. Finally he called. We start shooting in September."
Farrelly will be hoping that a reported rift between Carrey, New Line and Warner Brothers over the project can be quickly resolved.
The director says the two characters - again to be played by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels - are no smarter.
"But we do explain what happened to those 18 years."
SEE The Three Stooges opens Thursday June 28

George Clooney drama to open Venice film festival
Hollywood star George Clooney will open this year's Venice Film Festival with a political drama he has directed, produced, co-written and acted in.
The Ides of March, about the mixed fortunes of a Democratic hopeful running for the US presidency, will launch the event on 31 August.
Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman co-star in the movie, based on the 2008 play Farragut North.
Clooney owns a villa in Italy and is a regular guest of the annual festival.
The Ides of March is his fourth project as director, after Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, the Oscar-nominated Good Night, and Good Luck and sports comedy Leatherheads.
Beau Willimon based his play on Howard Dean's unsuccessful attempt to be named the Democratic presidential candidate in 2004.
Clooney's film will be in contention for the Golden Lion award at this year's festival, which will run until 10 September on the Venice Lido.
The 50-year-old last attended the festival in 2009, when his satirical comedy The Men Who Stare at Goats was shown out of competition.

An Introduction to the Theory of Spin Glasses and Neural Networks (World Scientific Lecture Notes in Physics)
This book aims to describe in simple terms the new area of statistical mechanics known as spin-glasses, encompassing systems in which quenched disorder is the dominant factor. The book begins with a non-mathematical explanation of the problem, and the modern understanding of the physics of the spin-glass state is formulated in general terms. Next, the 'magic' of the replica symmetry breaking scheme is demonstrated and the physics behind it discussed. Recent experiments on real spin-glass materials are briefly described to demonstrate how this somewhat abstract physics can be studied in the laboratory. The final chapters of the book are devoted to statistical models of neural networks.The material here is self-contained and should be accessible to students with a basic knowledge of theoretical physics and statistical mechanics. It has been used for a one-term graduate lecture course at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics.

The Western bluebird, considered locally extinct on Vancouver Island 20 years ago, is making a comeback in British Columbia's Cowichan Valley thanks to translocation conservation efforts.
The Bring Back the Bluebirds project, which began in 2012, involves moving up to 10 pairs of Western bluebirds from southern Washington state to Vancouver Island every year.
The birds are held in an outdoor aviary for several weeks before they're released as breeding pairs. After that, the organization tracks their nesting success.
"They don't always stick, but we're seeing an increase in the percent of bluebirds we released actually staying where we released them to nest," project co-ordinator Jemma Green told On The Island.
"We're seeing an increase in the number of birds returning on their own every spring from year to year and we're also seeing an increase in the number of nests these birds have and the number of young."
There are now 19 returned Western bluebirds in the Cowichan Valley, including six breeding pairs, according to the Garry Oak Ecosystems Recovery Team Society.
A total of 16 eggs and 15 baby birds have also been tracked this spring.
Green says bluebirds are a crucial part of the Garry oak tree ecosystem, where more than 115 species are listed as at-risk provincially and federally.
"So if we can bring bluebirds back and restore those habitat elements that they need to thrive, we're restoring a good part of that ecosystem and hopefully benefiting a whole bunch of species at risk as well."

Bintray users who are subscribed with a Premium Plan can import organizations and their members from GitHub.
If you are the owner of a Bintray organization you can import members from GitHub as long as those members have a Bintray account. The members' privileges in GitHub will be stored in Bintray.
The two organizations can be synced so that the addition or removal of a member in the GitHub organization will be reflected in the Bintray organization.
This option saves you the time and effort of updating the organization structure in both GitHub and Bintray.
Before you can import an organization Bintray must be granted access to GitHub information. For more information please refer to Authorizing Bintray to Import from GitHub.
The GitHub authorization in Bintray is carried out during the import procedure.
You can import an organization from GitHub to Bintray as follows:
Create a Bintray organization by browsing to your profile page in Bintray. Under organization, click Add New Organization.
Select the Import from GitHub option.
This will take you through the necessary steps to select the organization you want to import. You can import all organizations that you own, and that have not been imported to Bintray yet.
If you do not have the necessary GitHub authorizations for the import, you'll need to provide them during the process.
To enable access:
First go to your GitHub Account settings page, "Organizations" option.
From the list of available organizations, click on the one to authorize, and go to its "Settings" tab. Under the "Organization settings", click "Third-party access".
Click "Remove restrictions".
Return to Bintray and select the GitHub organization to import.
Once the organization is imported, it becomes a regular Bintray organization. Now, you can edit the organization attributes.
At this point, all organization operations are available: for example creating a new repository (or importing one), or editing its profile, adding members.
Note that you can also create a new organization in Bintray, and associate it with a GitHub organization any time from the organization's profile page, in the Accounts section. All GitHub organizations that you own, that are not already linked to Bintray will be displayed in the drop down list. Select the GitHub organization to be associated with your Bintray organization.
Syncing Organization Members with GitHub
Once an organization is created, you can import new members from GitHub. You can also keep the Bintray members synced with GitHub.
Note that in order to import the organization's members and keep them synced with GitHub, you need one of the Bintray Premium Plan accounts and a GitHub account. You also need to select the Sync option in the organization profile page, under members.
When you sync the members of an organization with GitHub, those members that do not have a GitHub account will be erased from list of members, and a confirmation message is displayed to this effect:
All Bintray users that are authorized with GitHub will receive a request to join the Bintray organization, in their Bintray message box. A member is added to the organization in Bintray as soon as he/she has approved the request to join. The new member's team in GitHub is also imported.
You can always enable or disable the Sync option from the organization profile page:

Canon EOS 80D updates Dual Pixel AF, bumps resolution with 24MP sensor
Canon has updated its prosumer DSLR line with the EOS 80D, offering a newly developed 24.2MP APS-C sensor, 45-point all cross-type autofocus module, updated Dual Pixel AF for live view still and video recording, and Wi-Fi with NFC.
Canon claims its new AF module, a notable improvement over the 70D's 19-point system, is capable of focusing in low light conditions down to -3EV at the center point. Dual Pixel AF now offers continuous focus, and all pixels are able to perform phase detection focus while being used for still imaging. Video recording is offered at an improved 1080/60p.
The 80D uses a DIGIC 6 processor and provides a native ISO range in stills shooting from 100-16,000, expandable to 25,600. Burst shooting at up to 7 fps is on par with the 70D. The 80D is equipped with an approximately 100% coverage optical viewfinder and a fully articulated 3" 1.04M-dot touchscreen LCD, as well as built-in Wi-Fi with NFC.
The Canon EOS 80D will be available in March for $1199 body-only or $1799 bundled with an updated EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM kit lens.
Read our detailed Canon EOS 80D overview
Press release:
THE NEW EOS 80D DSLR CAMERA AND EF-S 18-135mm NANO USM LENS
Designed to Help Unleash the Creative Potential in Us All, New Imaging Technology
Will Help You Shoot & Share Amazing Images and Video
MELVILLE, N.Y., February 17, 2015 – Artists looking to turn their passion into popular online videos or to show the world their unique perspective through social networks now have a new tool available to them that helps them tear down creative barriers and produce dynamic visual content for both still and video. Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to introduce the new Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR camera, featuring an new 45-point AF system1, 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor for crisp images with fine detail. For the budding videographer or online video star, the camera features Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus (DAF) technology coupled with an intuitive touchscreen capability for easy focusing when shooting video.
Canon is also introducing a new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens optimized for high-speed autofocusing when shooting stills and quiet and smooth zoom when shooting video. The lens is also compatible with Canon's new Power Zoom Adapter for smooth cinematic 'pulls' when changing focal length on a subject, and responsive adjustments at the push of a button for stills or video.
Updated features in Canon EOS 80D DSLR Camera include:
- New 45-point all cross-type AF system
- Intelligent Viewfinder with approximately 100% viewfinder coverage
- Newly Developed 24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS sensor
- DIGIC 6 image processor for enhanced image quality
- Improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF for smooth, fast and accurate autofocus with video and stills
- Built-in Wi-Fi 2 and NFC2 capability for easy transfer of images and movies to compatible mobile devices
- 1080/60p Full HD video to capture brilliant results in MP4 format for easy movie sharing on select social networking sites
- Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD II monitor enables flexible positioning and clear viewing even outdoors
"In today's world, where everyone is a photographer or videographer, we at Canon are looking to provide the tools and features that help creative-minded people stand out from the pack and get noticed. The right technology cannot make someone creative, but it will help bring a creative vision to life," said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The right combination of camera and lens helps those with a vision stand out and be recognized. We look forward to seeing what this new generation of passionate artists will create with these new tools."
New AF System and Dual Pixel CMOS AF
The 45-point all cross-type viewfinder AF system in the new Canon EOS 80D DSLR camera, compared to 19-points in the Canon EOS 70D DSLR camera, is now wider both horizontally and vertically for easier compositions with off-center subjects. Low light AF performance has been improved all the way down to EV-3 at the center point to achieve sharp results even in extreme low-light situations. The camera's AI (Artificial Intelligence) Servo AF II autofocusing system utilizes color tracking with a 7,560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor that automatically detects skin tone and colors to enhance tracking sensitivity, even with moving subjects that are rapidly changing pace or direction. Enhancing the ease-of-use of the new AF system is the Canon EOS 80D's new Intelligent Viewfinder which features approximately 100% viewfinder coverage. The full coverage helps prevent photographers from missing objects that are in the corners of the scene, which can reduce the need to crop images later on.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF employs a new Canon CMOS sensor with which all of the effective pixels are able to perform both still imaging and phase-detection AF simultaneously to achieve dramatically improved AF performance during Live View and video shooting. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology in the Canon EOS 80D camera features enhanced tracking sensitivity and is compatible with the full line of Canon EF Series lenses, including the new Canon EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM standard zoom lens.
High-Quality Still and Video Image Performance
Featuring a new 24.2 megapixel APS-C Canon CMOS sensor and Canon's superb DIGIC 6 Image Processor, as well as an improved still image ISO range of 100–16000 (Video ISO range 100–12800, both expandable to 25600), the Canon EOS 80D DSLR camera is capable of producing sharp, detailed images and videos even in low-light conditions. High-speed continuous shooting up to seven frames per second (fps) combined with the 45-point all cross-type AF allows photographers to capture fast moving subjects easily and accurately, while the camera's Scene Intelligent Auto Mode delivers optimized photos and offers outstanding scene detection for amazing results even when shooting in low light. HDR mode provides creative filter effects, such as natural, art standard, art bold, art vivid and art embossed. For added convenience, the Canon EOS 80D camera features Anti-Flicker shooting, similar to that found in the EOS 7D Mark II DSLR camera. Anti-Flicker shooting produces consistently high-quality results even when shooting in areas with fluorescent lighting or other flickering light sources by detecting the flicker cycle of the light source and shooting when brightness is near its peak.
When users select the EOS Movie mode, the Canon EOS 80D DSLR camera offers the ability to shoot in 1080p Full HD video up to 60 fps, compared to 30 fps in the Canon EOS 70D, in MP4 format and in either ALL-I or IPB compression modes with optional embedded time code. For expanded creativity the Canon EOS 80D DSLR camera features HDR movie and Time-Lapse movie modes and Movie creative filters like fantasy, old movie, memory, dramatic monochrome and miniature. Movie Servo AF custom settings allow users to speed up or slow down focusing speeds, enhancing creativity and artistic expression. For added flexibility, the Canon EOS 80D digital SLR camera also features a built-in headphone jack, a built-in stereo microphone with manual audio level adjustment, and an additional stereo microphone jack.
News Lens, Power Zoom Adapter, and Directional Stereo Microphone Enhance Video Quality
In addition to the new Canon EOS 80D DSLR camera, Canon U.S.A., Inc., is also introducing the Canon EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens, a newly designed lens with a premium exterior design that will serve as the kit lens for the new Canon EOS 80D camera. This the first Canon lens equipped with Nano USM, a new type of focusing motor that combines the benefits of a ring USM (ultrasonic motor) for high-speed AF during still photo shooting and lead-screw type STM (stepping motor) for smooth and quiet movie AF, and improved the driving speed of the focusing lens up to 4.3x (Tele) and 2.5x (Wide) faster than the previous model.. The Canon EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens also provides up to four stops of optical image stabilization. A new lens hood, the EW-73D, is included with the new lens.
To further enhance the ease-of-use when shootings movies with a Canon DLSR or Cinema EOS cameras, Canon is introducing the Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1, specifically constructed to be compatible with the design of the new Canon EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens. The Canon Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1 is the world's first detachable zoom adapter that provides silent and smooth zoom and can adjusted incrementally to 10 different levels of zoom speed3. Additionally, the PZ-E1 can be controlled remotely using the Canon Camera Connect app4.
In addition to the new lens and power zoom adapter, Canon is introducing the first Canon-branded external microphone for the EOS system, the Canon Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1. This new accessory microphone will help improve sound quality while shooting video, allowing users to rotate the direction of the microphone up and down from 90 to 120 degrees depending on the shooting situation. The DM-E1's durable shock mount construction helps to reduce camera operation noise and lens drive sounds and is built to withstand the rigors of a variety of shooting situations. Featuring a frequency response range of 50Hz to 16kHz, the DM-E1 comes with a wind screen to help limit peripheral sound from wind and other outside factors, allowing shooters to utilize the microphone in a broad amount of shooting situations. Featuring a built-in power supply from a single "button-type" lithium cell battery, the DM-E1 also has a power indicator lamp allowing users to easily check its battery level.
The Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR camera and EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens are currently scheduled to be available in March 2016 for an estimated retail price of $1,199.00 for the body only, $1,799.00 with the new EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens and $599.99 respectively.

Discuss in the forums
A lot of disappointment that the 80d doesn't have 4k.
I have to wonder, Is it possible/probable the reason canon didn't equip the 80d with 4K is they didn't want to undercut an upcoming 5dmark IV that (WILL) have 4K and 24Mpixel. Canon has a history of crippling one lower tier cameras so they don't compete too directly with higher tier cameras. an 80d that has nearly identical base specs as a 5dMIV would cannibalized a $3,500 camera's sale to a $1,500 sale released in the same year..
Just a theory..
Maybe you guys can help I have been doing a lot of research on the 7D mark II and the 80D and a6300. Im stuck in between the three camera's and I need advice on which one to get. I'd like to get the 80D because of the features and because the camera is very similar to 7D Mark II but the 7D Mark II has slightly better specs and has great body and has that 10 frames per sec and the sony has 4k and 425 focal points, zebra, slog, and tons of other things that the other two cameras dont have. My issue is I just gave my girlfriend my T4i that I had for a long time and now I'm looking to replace it with one of those three cameras. Maybe one of you can help me make a decision.
I've currently got the Canon EOS 70D, I've had it since 2013 when it was released and wondered if the 80D is a good upgrade for now or maybe I should save up for year and the get the 5D Mk III. I sometimes think the 5D is a little outdated but what do I know, I'm still fairly new to all this.
this no 4k
Love how everybody cries for a new 6D II . Apart from Pros who already own a 1D body + a 5D and some lenses , what else is missing to the Dpreview Conosseur to make them happy and get out to shoot , otherwise this top-trumps game is quite idiotic .
BTW I'm the owner of 6d with 24-105 and it's an excellent runaround piece of kit quality and CR being top notch .
So, does the 80D focus better than my brother with ADD?
Not me. I have no need for 4k video.
There isnt that high of a percentage of consumer hobbyist types (or anyone really) running 4k displays. Less than 10% of internet browsers are running displays above 2560x1440 (not 4k) http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp
4k is overkill pretty much for another few years. And 4k phones mainly useful for text with the increased PPI. If you know you NEED 4k because youre a videophile, dont buy a still camera.
But it's nice to have 4k at this price tag, especially when many competitors have it.
Also, 4k gives better down-sampled 1080p quality or you can take a 8MB image from the clip. I'm no video professional but when I got used to 4k video, I don't want to come back to 1080 anymore.
Don't you see that the omission of 4k is not because of technical inability but because of protection of other products. Is it good for us consumer? Hell no!!!!
There's a word for having a fantastic feature on any electronic device that you don't need: USELESS.
In the rare occasion that I do use video, the one on my iPhone will suffice.
I see a Silver Award...
Some good updates to the 70D, but not much of a highly impressive upgrade, compared with competitive products.
I hope that the 6D-II, which I'm waiting for, will have more than just little, or minor upgrades.
Canon has traditionally been very conservative when it comes to upgrades, which I understand, and it can be a good thing, but it can also mean falling far behind competition.
Conservatism should not be a cause to hinder major progress.
Not really enthusiastic introduction of new DSLR, perhaps well deserved.
Is there any plans in the future to remove mirror and mechanical shutter from EOS EF cameras? Perhaps E-series after D-series? E = electronic shutter / electronic viewfinder
I have currently owned a 60D for 5 years, I am considering an upgrade. The 80D looks like a good upgrade without the extra weight of the 7Dii for a non professional. I am looking for improved metering/AF/MFA/FPS touch screen is of no benefit to me personally. 100% viewfinder also very good.
Is it cripple or not folks I cannot tell. Does it have Clean HDMI out, i.e., 422 8 bit with audio or only 420 or nothing like the 70D
Looks like a nice piece of equipment. Price will have to drop a bit before I'm interested.
is the same 70d body?
i did not like 70d ergonomics
hope it's like the 6d , small but very ergonomics
hm interesting camera. why not just throw a good fullframe sensor in there and call it 6D mark II ?
No...I'll wait for the 28mp 7DmIII, with digic 7, at least 65 focus points and a new Auto Focus.
Take the 80D specs, put it in a different body, change the sensor into a FF one and call it the 6D II please ....
Canon never mention a GPS built in, so why they are saying in this article that it's there, they even say so in an overview video in this website!
Hmm they've made it out of metal this time... But Nah, I love my 6D, that and seeing how my EM5 basically destroyed my 60D I don't think I'll ever go back to crop sensor's. If I'm going to deal with something the size of a DSLR I want full frame. If I'm gonna deal with crop sensor that I want something size of an a6000, but I want even smaller (lenses and bodies) than that so I went micro four thirds for my out and about camera.
I'd love to see a hybrid viewfinder full frame DSLR.
The user experience with Zeiss glass (focus peaking) and also AF lenses (dual pixel pdaf and exposure preview) would greatly benefit without the user having to leave the optical finder behind..
From what I understand, replacing the focusing screen on these newer Canons is harder and harder to do. I have a cross prism viewing screen on my 6D that allows me to focus my Zeiss lenses. I would never buy manual focus lenses on anything that has no optical VF
I agree my first camera was a Sony DSC-R1 I was very disappointed when I had to get a optical viewfinder camera, but I like convenience with my Evf high tech all the way, and manual focus is old school.
I have a 1Ds III with Ef-S matte screen and the DOF is razor thin, but my eyes aren't good enough to judge focus THAT precisely if the plane is only 5mm wide..
The focus confirm beep helps a lot too, but focus peaking is loads of fun with stationary objects.
80D Body only: $1199
7D MKII body, free printer, free memory card, free bag, $1199 @ B&H
80D - fully articulating screen useful for video
7D II - no tilt screen
80D has better features in above 2 areas. Important to video shooters and 24MP resolution is higher for photo. Also 1080 60P for video in Full HD. Also a new 18-135mm lens of premium quality USM Nano for video/photo and power zoom adapter great for video. Will this lens and power zoom adapter work on 7D II? Possibly.
Right now 80D looks better with 3 better spec features, 24 MP, 1080 60P and rotating touch screen.
(Dual SD would have been nice to see or CF slot with SD, however, not there.)
7D II has high fps. 80D has better video features.
Maybe we will see a few of this new tech specs in 7D III.
I don't think too many people are value insignificant MP differences and articulating screens above all else. The 80D's video features are heavily crippled (no 4K, no slo-mo, no zebras, no focus peaking, no c-log, no HDMI out, 4:2:2 1080p).
7D2 gets you a better body, better AF, 10FPS, more pro features for the same price.
Good point on AF however 80D is not that far behind and much better than 70D.
7D II is 65 AF points while 80D is 45 AF points.
In regards to slow mo, using 1080 60P from 80D it would be simple to change speed in video editing software to half speed slo motion by setting 60P to playback at 30P in Premiere or Vegas Pro or Final Cut and render video.
Having just checked the video specs of 7DII on dpreview most of the high end video setting options are the same in both it seems now. Although not seeing the 80D video menu shown, but the specs in article match with 7D II for ALL-I and IPB in MP4 or MOV and highest at 1080 60P for MP4.
80D also has mini HDMI out so should be able to go out to an external HD recorder. The article mentions nothing about absence of zebras or focus peaking for 80D or are you quoting the 70D instead, or have another written source for this info.
The 7D II has the better pro body and also CF card slot plus SD which many may value. I like CF myself..
It is nuts for anyone who cares about this stuff not to go with the full frame line imo, or at least the 7d series if its the same money.
I went from a 10D to a 5D classic years ago. Honestly, I wouldn't replace it with a 7D series, the viewfinders are just too small (although I haven't looked at the mk2).
The only thing that would compel me to upgrade is if Canon put a pop up flash on a 5D series AND dropped the prices to film camera levels plus perhaps a little extra to allow for the sensor.
For what I use it for i.e. not professional, I'm not sure there have been many noticeable improvements over the old 5D classic. That someone would choose to buy these double digit D things new instead of a used 5 series or even a 1 series boggles my mind, and also reminds me I would far rather purchase an old 135 L or 35L to go with my poor old 5d than upgrade the body anyway.
The full time live autofocus of 7D II or 80D/70D make these apsc cameras ideal for videographers who would want that function, and this type of sensor dual phase detect on sensor is missing from the full frame cameras so far. Use some fast lenses like F1.8 or F2.8 constant zooms and the video will be good enough for low light. Semi pros and part time videographers might select a camera like this over FF on a budget. Add a LED light on top and external mike with the zoom attachment and this is a very useful camera for video. Full time pros need 2 cameras because they would need one for backup and may pick the FF 5D3 and maybe camera like this 80D for second camera or this as main with a rebel as backup if part timers on a budget.
EDIT: Found the answer
Also is there finally spot metering at every AF point like the $400 bodies from the competition?
Wow. I was hoping that eventually Canon would do something amazing with their Dual pixel tech, which was great for video when I had the 70D, but with that camera the video quality was so so and the sensor wasn't that great. But nope just incremental changes after 3 years and they didn't even put the tech in the M series, which would've been nice.
For $1200 I cannot fathom why anyone would get this over the new A6300. Not trying to bash Canon fans. I really don't care what side you're on (I don't even know why there are sides when having choices is a great thing) but as a consumer, why would I get this camera? I'm actually asking.
Well we'll have to wait to see if the sensor is improved.
But speaking from owning the 70D as a wedding videographer, for a camera that can focus as amazingly as a camcorder (with customizable 'pull' settings), the quality was extremely subpar. I don't see any improvements with the video codec with this 'newer' model, which makes no sense, given that DPAF is perfect for video.
Was hoping that the 70D MKII or what's now the 80D would make me try it out again, cause I haven't seen the DPAF ability replicated in any other camera as of yet. But Canon chose incremental yet again.
Sony also has on sensor PDAF as well as peaking and focus magnification. Canon does have a 'gazillion lenses' it's true, but not so many of them are modern, digital-specific designs.
You only have to look at DXOmark to see that the performance of some of the film era lenses is lamentable - and expected, after all they were produced for a different imaging system.
Despite our complaints and valid reasons why Canon cameras are inferior to everything else they continue to sell. It just baffles as to why that is. However, I have no doubt that enough people will buy this camera for Canon to justify making a 90D with mediocre upgrades and a significant price bump in the years to come.
Ergonomics are why I prefer Canon. Yes that and lenses. I don't have a lot of lenses like pros have but then I also don't want to send a lot of money/time changing systems so for that reason I lean Canon but really like what Sony is doing with being able to use other lenses with adapters.
Shooting side by side with Sony on bird, waiting for the bird to fly back for nesting. When the bird return Sony run out of battery. Any DSLR will win for this case.
Is Canon seriously bragging about finally putting 1080p @ 60 FPS video in their cameras in 2016?
I get it this camera meets the needs of most users. The problem is that it costs $1200 without a lens and $1800 with a "kit" lens. That is a very tough sell when every other manufacturer offers so much more for so much less.
Did not that kit lens 18-135mm cost a lot less when offered with the 70D or am I wrong? Seems price went up on Canon 18-135mm STM which is now $600 more over the body price.
Okay, I went back and read the full article. The new 18-135mm lens is updated with many improved features, so much better than first generation and now a premium lens.
Great features but to be honest, 1080P at 4:2:0 is consumer grade video.
Canon will continue to lose market share to Sony, Panasonic.
What it was once pride, It has become frustrating and disappointing to own Canon cameras.
What, no 4-mf-K ?!?
So in other words, it's a Canon 70D with a newer sensor. At least this will help those interested in the 70D by dropping its price a bit, because I can't see anyone who already has a 70D upgrading to this.
Lovely, how about some actual EF-S lenses so we can use them at the 'correct' focal length. A fast 35mm equivalent would be a good start.
You know exactly what I mean, my point is that Canon do not support their crop sensors with lenses with common effective focal lengths.
Look at Fuji, 16mm (24 equiv), 23mm (35), 35mm (50), 56mm (85), 90mm (135).
Those focal lengths are popular for a reason, much like the 70-200, which feels far too long at the wide end on a crop sensor.
you have zoom lenses that cover the 11-24, 16-35, 17-40 , and 24-70 area. And also 70-200. So all is covered. With L-grade optics. You don't need a special EF-s lens to fix that. The marked for high end lenses is small enough, it would be even smaller if you make it only for EF-S.
Lots of nice new features and tempting upgrades, but at the end of the day if the sensor is no real improvement on my 70D in terms of noise and dynamic range, then I will give it a miss.
At the launch price, the 80D is almost as expensive as a 7DMKII. So if AF , FPS and weather sealing are your bag, that's a better buy for wildlife photogs.
And at this price point it also goes head to head with the A6300. Looking forward to see how they compare. Especially if I can use my Canon lenses on the A6300.
Hopefully the 6D MK II will get the same or similar feature set - now that really will be a winner and I wouldn't hesitate to buy that.
Perfect enthusiast APS-C DSLR : 1/8000, WR, 7.0fps, top class AF, great video capabilites at a very sensitive price.
If 4K gimmik is the only complaint, don't worry Canon users, you have a winner!
You can't really complain about lack of 4:2:2. The best content being delivered OTT to consumers is 4.2:0. If you want mastering quality in your source format, perhaps you should be using appropriate hardware too rather than expecting prosumer APS-C DSLR to do this?
4K gimmik?
Why I can't use one camera for video and photos? Thanks to Canon I had to buy Panasonic FZ1000 last year and now I have also very good quality (in good light) 4K in my new phone. It's a joke when every other serious camera will have 4K in 2016.
Don't you think that 2 Megapixel video in 24 Megapixel camera is a little low?
Yeah but for $1200 you can record those memories in a crisper format than what this camera is offering. Pretty meh announcement. I can't see why anyone would get this over the new A6300, which is much smaller, has amazing AF, and can do 4K. I really don't.
pixnat: and how would you define a samsung nx1 (1.5 years old) then?
@Pixnat2, yes we should all shot crappy SD because you don't care about video image quality! :))
Then I ask, if you value so much you memories and do not care about image quality, way do you need to upgrade to this new Canon, I bet even the old 30D is way good enough for you. :)
I never ask you to think like me, you're free dude.
I shoot Nikon, Fuji and Oly, so don't need a new Canon ;-) I just think it's a good camera for Canon users.
I do care a lot about image quality, but not the same way as you do.
But you're a videographer and I'm a photographer, so I guess we have different needs.
Yeah cause that was the only resolution available at the time.
You wouldn't pay $1200 for a VCR camcorder now would you? ;)
Just saying for the price, the hypothetical soccer dad could get a much better/portable camera, whose memories won't look so aged when his kids grow up to watch them.
You think 1080p will look dated and 4K won't? Think again. Firstly most people can't even tell the difference between upconverted DVD and Blu-Ray Disc, and I doubt they'll be able to tell or care about the difference between upconverted 1080p and 4K. Secondly future enhancements like HDR will leave both 1080p SDR and 4K SDR looking pale, unsaturated, dated and no different to each other. I think you've been drinking too much of the 4K KoolAid,
I don't agree any layman can tell difference between DVD and bluray. Almost everyone who watches HD movies at my place complements on Video quality.
With your theory we should all be shooting at 5MP still and still holding on to my SD TVs right.
4K even down-sampled at 1080p is better than 1080p. This is not about if it was possible or not, I think Canon did it deliberately that's why ppl are upset.
In 2016 we can have a single device to shoot amazing stills and video so why not?
Fuji-style DR modes and we're talking.
OOC jpegs are so handy that Fuji's DR modes are a major draw for me.
Ten. Eighty. Pea.
Canon, 2010 phoned. They want their camera back.
Canon has finally caught up to Sony.
Where exactly?
Hopefully 4K video is reserved for the 5D Mark 4.
4k from a tiny sensor is great, yeah..
I really prefer clean 1080p from an APS-C sensor over any 4k from anything smaller than u4/3..
Just for one generation at least I wish Canon would incorporate that new 24 MP Sony APS-C sensor in the A6300 ... failing which that 28 MP Samsung sensor would do nicely too... Blow away the competition in low light, DR & colour fidelity and call it a day...
They can go back to using their in-house sensors thereafter...
Do we know it is a Canon sensor? They said they would be going with new sensor architecture, I wonder if this "newly developed" sensor already has it.
The new 24MP Canon sensor has on-chip ADC It also has DPAF which no other camera brand has. Some of the Japanese press release info talks about better DR, the sensor looks like the 1Dx II sensor, which has been proven to be in the same relm of Sony in low ISO DR.
Canon could have very well dominated the competition in both image quality and sensor AF.
I know there isn't much difference in size, but are EF-S lenses designed with 1.6x crop or 1.5x crop in mind?
"If its not a Canon sensor then how come the sensor dimensions match exactly all of Canon's previous APS-C offerings... 22.5 x 15 mm ..."
You can't use the sensor size to tell who made the sensor. I'm sure any sensor maker could make a sensor to Canon's specifications. But most likely, it's an in-house Canon sensor, hopefully with an improved design.
@thx1138 - Meanwhile, there's quite a lot of evidence that Sony may have a 45nm fab in play for the new A6300 sensor.
The purchased a fab from Renesas in January 2014 that was doing 45nm copper SOI work before the purchase. However we don't know whether or not that fab is still operating a 45nm process or not, but it seems likely that fab is where the new A6300 sensor is being manufactured.
Meanwhile, Canon was just starting to move to 180nm from 500nm when Sony was already pretty firmly established at 180 with the A7R/D800 sensor back in 2012. Unless Canon has gone past 180nm, you can expect this to be about on par with, or worse than, the A6000 in terms of DR.

Since 1973, the European Commission has undertaken EU-wide citizen surveys to monitor changes in public opinion in EU countries. One of these Eurobarometer surveys looked at citizens' views on possible health risks from electromagnetic fields.
Electromagnetic fields
Citizens' view
A 2007 Eurobarometer survey on this issue showed a fairly even split between those who were 'concerned' and those who were 'not concerned'. Most European citizens nevertheless felt that national governments could do more to prevent possible health risks from electromagnetic fields and to inform the public.
A 2010 follow up Eurobarometer survey (+ Annexes) showed that slightly fewer people were concerned about the possible risks (46 % instead of 48 %) but showed that most European citizens still wanted national authorities to do more to prevent these risks and to inform the public about them. Almost half of respondents wanted the European Commission to do more in these areas too.
In 2011, the Commission held discussions with individuals and organisations that had an interest in electromagnetic fields.
