GENERAL CONCEPT




Etimologically, the word photograph is derived from two Greek words:  “phao” meaning ‘light’ and “graphê” meaning ‘drawing’ or ‘writing’; together these two words mean as to “drawing with light”  or “writing with light”. Photograph as other field of study has many teminologies used to complete the subject matter; the following are some of them defined terms as used in the study of photograph: Photograph is an image or picture of an object that recorded by camera and then printed on a paper. Also, Photograph referred as the real image of an object which shows both man and natural features as well as human activities taken by camera.

Camera is an equipment or device used in taking photograph. Film is a dark plastic-like material which can record images as photographs or as a moving picture. Photograph Reading  is the process of examination photographic print in order to identify objects. Photograph Interpretation  refers to act of studying a photograph in order to identfy objects and asses their significance and problems. Photogrametry  is a science or an art of making a topographical map from air photograph. Or, it is the technique of using photographs to obtain measurments of the photograph.

Isocenter is the point on photo that falls on a line half-way between the principal and the nadri point. Mosaic refers to a collection of overlapping aerial photographs which have been matched to form one continuous representation of part the earth’ surface. Photo Mosaic is the picture that has been divided into (usually equal size) rectangular section, each of which is top replaced by another photograph that matches the large photo. Photo mosaic also refers to the compound by stitching together a series of sdjucent pictures of a scanning. Also it is an assembly of series of photographs into one continuous picture.

Principal Point  (PP) is the optical or geometric centre of photograph. It is the image of intersection between the projection optic axis that is perpendicular to the lens. Scale ratio increases at the same rate in all direction from the principal point. Nadir  is the point vertically beneath the camera centre at the time of exposure.

Camera Station  is the position of the camera situated or held. Terreoscope is the device by which two photographs as the same object taken at a slightly different angles are viewed together creating an impression of depth and solidity. Also can defined as the device fo viewing a sterreoscopic pairs of separate images, depicting left eye, right eye are viewed of the same scene as the single three dimentional images. Coverage  is the ground area represented on air photo.

Datum is a plane or line or point used as a reference point of elements (especially in measuring or determining elevations). In this, the plane determines the position of other elements. Altitude is the heght above datum, which is commonly determined by the mean sea level. Flying-height is the elevation of exposure station above the mean sea level (amsl) or the stated datum. Flight-line is a line representing the track flown or to be flown by an aircraft. Flight lines concet the principal points of a series of airphotos.

Focal Length  is the perpendicular distance along the camera lens axis from its rear nodal point to the plan of the entire field used by the camera (film). Resolution is the ability of the camera in producing a sharply defined image. Strip  refer to the number of photographs taken along a flight path. Tilt is the angle at the optical axis of the camera.

            Kuanzia sura hii ya tatu na sura kadhaa zitakazofuata zitahusu wanawake baadhi waliotajwa majina yao katika Biblia. Hivyo, wanawake waliotajwa majina yao katika Biblia, nimejaribu kuwagawa kwa kufuata mpangilio wa herufi ya kwanza katika majina yao hadi ya mwisho. Kwa hiyo, unapopitia kila jina la mwanamke kunamambo mengi ya kujifunza katika maisha ya kiroho na ya kawaida, aidha, maana ya jina, tabia, matendo na imani. Abia             Jina hili linamanisha “matakwa ya Mungu” . Wakati mwingine jina hili humanisha Baba yangu ni Yehova. Mwanamke huyu alikuwa mke wa Hesroni, aliyemzalia mumewe mtoto wa kiume aitwaye Ashuri, babaye Tekoa. “Tena, baada ya kufa kwake Hesroni huko Kalebu-Efrata, ndipo Abia, mkewe Hesroni, alipomzalia Ashuri, babaye Tekoa” (1Nyakati 2:24). Abiya             Mwanamke huy...

Katika sura hizi kunamambo makubwa ya kujifunza ili yatujenge katika safari yetu ya wokovu. Tutaona jinsi gani anguko la mwanadamu linavyotokea kwa sababu tu ya kukataa kumtii Mungu pamoja na madhara yake. Katika sura hizo zote; visa vyake vimefupishwa mno katika biblia, hivyo wengi huwa wanashindwa kuelewa mambo mengi na yamsingi. KIINI CHA SOMO : 1.

KANISA LA WAADVENTISTA WA SABATO LIWALE MPANGO KAZI WA OFISI YA MAKATIBU/MAKARANI WA KANISA (2015/2016) UTANGULIZI. Idara/ofisi ya karani/katibu ni idara nyeti ambayo inaunganisha shughuli zote za kanisa. Kutokana na wengi wa wahiriki na viongozi wa kanisa au makarani/makatibu wenyewe kutoipa kipaumbele idara hii ni kwa sababu ya kutojua uthamani wake katika ukamilifu wa safari yetu ya kwenda mbinguni. Kazi ya ukarani imeanza toka enzi za kale, ambapo hadi sasa tunapata takwimu, kumbukumbu na taarifa sahihi kwenye biblia (Mfano; Kutoka 1:1-5 n.k.). Bila huduma za kiukarani biblia ingekuwa kitabu kisichojithibitisa maana kingejichanganya kwa kukosa kumbukumbu. Mambo mengi yameandikwa juu ya umuhimu wa kuweka mpango kwa kila jambo afanyalo mtu. Kanisa hali kadhalika lina wajibu wa kujua madhumuni ya uwepo wake pamoja na mazingira yanayolizunguka kwa kuzingatia umuhimu wake kama inavyosisitizwa katika maandiko matakatifu; kuwahubiri mataifa habari njema ya wok...
