I notice that this is a pro-ecological picture that belongs to the "world wildlife foundation"
the emotions present in his photograph are pity and regretment, about what people has done to the planet , especially the forests of the world. And this has caused the dissapear o a great percentage of them risking the air quality of the planet and the life of living beings. The most especial colour in this picture is the green and the lack of it in som part of the photograph because this is showing the important that the vegetation is to the planet and what the humans are doingwith it.
In other words this picture is trying to convey us to stop the sistematic poluton on the planet's forest, it is extremely against the way of life that we are living in. All this presenting the message that the way of living and the types of fuels that we are using wich are constantly killing the nature life in the world.

Victorian Century XIX Qualities of a Gentleman
The Qualities of a Gentleman He acts kindly from the impulse of his kind heart.
He is brave, because, with a conscience void of offence, he has nothing to
fear. He is never embarrassed, for he respects himself and is profoundly conscious
of right intentions.
He keeps his honor unstained, and to retain the good opinion of others he
neglects no civility. He respects even the prejudices of men whom he believes are honest. He opposes without bitterness and yields without admitting defeat. He is never arrogant, never weak. He bears himself with dignity, but never haughtily. Too wise to despise trifles, he is too noble to be mastered by them. To superiors he is respectful without servility; to equals courteous; to
inferiors’ kind. He carries himself with grace in all places, is easy but never familiar,
genteel without affection. He unites gentleness of manner with firmness of mind. He commands with mild authority, and asks favors with grace and assurance

XXI CENTURY WIKIA
The Royal Family.
The Royal Family name
People often ask whether members of the Royal Family have a surname, and, if so, what it is.
Members
of the Royal Family can be known both by the name of the Royal house,
and by a surname, which are not always the same. And often they do not
use a surname at all.
Before 1917, members of the British Royal
Family had no surname, but only the name of the house or dynasty to
which they belonged.
Kings and princes were historically known by
the names of the countries over which they and their families ruled.
Kings and queens therefore signed themselves by their first names only, a
tradition in the United Kingdom which has continued to the present day.
The names of dynasties tended to change when the line of
succession was taken by a rival faction within the family (for example,
Henry IV and the Lancastrians, Edward IV and the Yorkists, Henry VII and
the Tudors), or when succession passed to a different family branch
through females (for example, Henry II and the Angevins, James I and the
Stuarts, George I and the Hanoverians).
Just as children can
take their surnames from their father, so sovereigns normally take the
name of their 'House' from their father. For this reason, Queen
Victoria's eldest son Edward VII belonged to the House of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (the family name of his father Prince Albert). Edward
VII's son George V became the second king of that dynasty when he
succeeded to the throne in 1910.
In 1917, there was a radical
change, when George V specifically adopted Windsor, not only as the name
of the 'House' or dynasty, but also as the surname of his family. The
family name was changed as a result of anti-German feeling during the
First World War, and the name Windsor was adopted after the Castle of
the same name.
At a meeting of the Privy Council on 17 July 1917,
George V declared that 'all descendants in the male line of Queen
Victoria, who are subjects of these realms, other than female
descendants who marry or who have married, shall bear the name of
Windsor'.
The Royal Family name of Windsor was confirmed
by The Queen after her accession in 1952. However, in 1960, The Queen
and The Duke of Edinburgh decided that they would like their own direct
descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the Royal Family
(without changing the name of the Royal House), as Windsor is the
surname used by all the male and unmarried female descendants of George
V.
It was therefore declared in the Privy Council that The
Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness
and the title of Prince/Princess, or female descendants who marry, would
carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor.
This reflected Prince
Philip's surname. In 1947, when Prince Philip of Greece became
naturalised, he assumed the name of Philip Mountbatten as a Lieutenant
in the Royal Navy.
The effect of the declaration was that all The
Queen's children, on occasions when they needed a surname, would have
the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.
For the most part, members of
the Royal Family who are entitled to the style and dignity of HRH Prince
or Princess do not need a surname, but if at any time any of them do
need a surname (such as upon marriage), that surname is
Mountbatten-Windsor.
The surname Mountbatten-Windsor first
appeared on an official document on 14 November 1973, in the marriage
register at Westminster Abbey for the marriage of Princess Anne and
Captain Mark Phillips.
A proclamation on the Royal Family name by
the reigning monarch is not statutory; unlike an Act of Parliament, it
does not pass into the law of the land. Such a proclamation is not
binding on succeeding reigning sovereigns, nor does it set a precedent
which must be followed by reigning sovereigns who come after.
Unless
The Prince of Wales chooses to alter the present decisions when he
becomes king, he will continue to be of the House of Windsor and his
grandchildren will use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.
As we all know we are living in a digital era, in which the most important messages that we recieve are recorded somehow, TV news are a very good example, and considering the demanding world that we have today is very important to improve the way in how those messages are given, this is why the camera editing and filming techniques exist. This techniques can change the whole perspective why have about a specific event or person, or maybe can help us to understand in a better way all the ideas and phenomenons show on camera. In this text, we are going to analyse the filming techniques of a prime time newschannel, and a 24-hour newschannel, to compare them, and point out the different objectives they want to achieve by usin this techniques.
In 24-hour piece of news, first we can find the presence of a establishing shot, wich is used to show in a clear and effective way to the viewer, the place and the context of it, in this case a group of brasilian natives, protesting for their land. Then we can find, that through a cut a new scene is presented in a long shot, in this case a conference of the united nations on sustainable development, after the camera uses a (CU), to show some of the members of this conference, in a nearer way, so that the viewer will be able to recognize the importance of these as individuals. This particular scene, will not last more than a few seconds, as the camera produce another cut, to show us an interview to the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, at first place the camera will show us a Pan movement, to portray the encounter, between the interviewer and the invterviewee, in this case a very polite one, wich is sealed by a narrow of hands, while the interview carries on the camara will start at a two shot, but it will gradually zoom, until it transforms into a medium shot, showing only Mr. Ki-Moon. Then before Mr. Ki-Moon ends his speech the camera uses another cut, to show us a completely different scene, in this case with a establishing shot, so that the viewer canbe able to recognize the scene itself, in this case a group of eolic electric generators, by thispart of the video , the camera will start making a series of different cuts, to sow us several scenes, in first place we are going to find an underwater scene, whi is characterized by a camera movement called dolly or tracking, wich means that the camera movements follows de action of the scene, and after this we can fin another scene, through a establishing shot again at a low angle in first place, but then because of a tilt camera movements it turns into an eye level angle from a medium shot, this is used to show the importance of water supplies for the kids in brasil.
Next we can find that through another camera cut, we transport to another scene in which we can find the speech of the Chief Executive, at Oxfam, this is at and eye level angle, by a medium shot, to show the importance that she, and her speech has as an individual. In which she she critic the poor improvement that, it has been in terms of water supplies, food supplies, health, among others.
Now thorugh a dissiolve editing techqnique, used to relate the last scene with the new one, in this case is the comment of the main periodist, of this piece of news. In wich he stands that there was another meeting, but because it was too big, it didnt get any results. Then this scene is cutted and we find the presence of another establishing shot to show us he street of rio, in which the camera, follows up the movement of a car, but finally end filming the place in general, this is made by a Pan camera movement.
However in the prime time piece of news,
