		Critical focus is an essential element of astrophotography.
		To compound the problem the camera ensemble is not athermal and some focus adjustment is required to compensate variations in temperature over a nights use.
		Measurement for tilt and decenter were made for each focus position by measuring a change in deflection as the airbearing-focuser ensemble was rotated.

	Illuminations: Kellner
		Critical theory from the 1930s through the 1960s was arguably on the cutting edge of social theory.[1] The critical theorists were among the first to analyze the new configurations of state and economy in the social formations of state capitalism.
		Critical theory remains of intense interest for the present conjuncture and provides crucial resources for a renewal of critical social theory and democratic politics in the current age precisely because, like the 1930s, our age is undergoing vast transformations, some of which are promising and some of which are threatening.
		Their critical questioning of Marxism was induced in part by historical conditions such as the demise of the labor movement, the spread of fascism and war, and oppressive developments in the Soviet Union which made it difficult to envisage critical theory as part of a revolutionary movement, or to unproblematically call for socialist revolution.

	20th WCP: Skills, Generalizability and Critical Thinking
		Siegel characterizes the critical thinker as one who is appropriately moved by reasons and one of the main aspects of critical thinking for Siegel is the reason assessment component, i.e., the ability properly to assess reasons and their ability to warrant beliefs, claims and actions (Siegel 1988).
		Critical thinking is not, then, a matter of applying critical thinking skills to various domains of knowledge, but rather of mastering certain kinds of knowledge in the domain or domains.
		A focus on critical practices as embodied in traditions of inquiry, however, brings to the fore this network of concepts, principles, procedures and purposes and makes clear the point of the practices and the place of particular principles and criteria within them.

	Focus in Critical Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Critical studies focuses on the historical and cultural dimensions of mass media, particularly film and television, also popular literature, magazines, the visual arts and architecture.
		The primary concern of the electives in this area is to expose students to the different modes of critical analysis that may be used to study media in this broader context.
		The critical studies student takes 6 additional electives (two of which must be at the 400 level).

	Priority Focus Process and Tracer Methodology Video Transcript \| Joint Commission
		Critical focus areas, one of the outputs of the priority focus process, are processes, systems or structures important to providing safe quality care in a health care organization.
		The output of the priority focus process, which is the clinical service groups and the critical focus areas, will be available to the health care organizations when they have access to their periodic performance review.
		Using that active list of patients, as well as the output from the priority focus process, particularly the output regarding clinical service groups, the surveyors begin to select their tracer patients.

	LLT Journal: NEW TECHNOLOGIES, NEW LITERACIES FOCUS DISCIPLINE RESEARCH AND ESL LEARNING COMMUNITIES
		Focus discipline tasks were designed to provide ample opportunities for ESL students to use English to gather, synthesize, and evaluate a range of informational resources and to construct responses using appropriate discourse patterns.
		For example, in a focus discipline project on eating disorders, a young woman from Poland, who had chosen diet and nutrition as her focus discipline, presented a detailed analysis of the causes and effects of anorexia and bulimia.
		The critical reflection that accompanies transformed practice forces students to become aware of and to challenge their beliefs; this process may be not only challenging but also troubling to ESL learners.

	Critical Literacy for Adult Literacy in Language Learners. ERIC Digest.
		Critical literacy takes learners beyond the development of basic literacy skills such as decoding, predicting, and summarizing and asks them to become critical consumers of the information they receive.
		Critical literacy encompasses a range of critical and analytical attitudes and skills used in the process of understanding and interpreting texts, both spoken and written.
		Regardless of the form in which critical literacy is practiced in the classroom, there is recognition of the need for English language learners to take critical stances toward reading, writing, speaking, or listening.

	Critical Focusing - Surprises and Suggestions
		Focus at 0.5mm or less distances along the lens focusing scale, and shoot the chart (preferably using strobe lighting).
		Focus carefully (and manually, all tests we have encountered to date show that careful manual focus is best, followed by autofocus, followed by sloppy or hurried manual focus).
		Focus is typically achieved by digitizing the analog signal from a CCD sensor and creating a histogram from the digitized result based on contrast differences.

	Focus the Nation
		We are still buzzed from last weekend’s Focus national organizing conference in Las Vegas —teams from dozens of schools across the country—including the Universities of Oklahoma, Central Florida, Eastern Kentucky, Clemson, and Washington—converged to plan how to build Focus in their regions.
		Earlier this month Focus the Nation surged beyond 400 teams,and faculty senates at the University of Florida, California Polytechnic State in San Luis Obispo, Willamette, and Colgate Universities have all voted to support Focus the Nation.
		On January 31, 2007, Portland State University held a Focus the Nation kick-off event for its students, staff and faculty to present the sustainability and educational activities that are underway on campus and provide an opportunity for those who are interested to get involved.

	Diversity: Making Sense of It Through Critical Thinking - The Critical Thinking Community (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		With critical thinking at the foundation of instruction, neither multiculturalism nor feminism are treated as exceptions to the evaluative force of critical thought.
		The focus is on developing reasoning abilities in general, on teaching students how to evaluate any form of reasoning, whether their own or someone else's, whether it is articulated verbally or expressed in written form.
		In short, through critical thinking we place all instruction, including its diversity components, on firm foundation so that improving students’ reasoning abilities, as well as their abilities to evaluate the reasoning of others, becomes the primary focus.

	GAO-04-585T, Budget Process: Long-term Focus Is Critical
		This is the accessible text file for GAO report number GAO-04-585T entitled 'Budget Process: Long-term Focus Is Critical' which was released on March 23, 2004.
		From a macro perspective the critical question is not how much a trust fund has in assets, but whether the government as a whole has the economic capacity to finance the benefits promised by these programs both now and in the future and, if so, at what cost, and with what implications.
		As a result, we need to incorporate new metrics and mechanisms into the budget process that better signal the long-term commitments and implicit promises made by the government--its fiscal exposures--so that decision makers' attention and efforts can be more concentrated on their long-term sustainability.

	Canon EOS 10D Focusing Modes
		Manually selecting a focus point lets you choose which part of the scene is used to focus the camera and also lets you get shots off more quickly since the camera doesn’t have to take time calculating where to focus.
		Manual focus is best when autofocus has problems, or when you want to quickly focus on an off-center subject or a subject that is in a busy setting where the camera has trouble isolating the subject you want.
		EF lenses, with their manual focus capabilities, give you the opportunity of using the traditional technique of focusing on the hyperfocal distance—the point closest to the camera on which you can focus while still keeping things at infinity in focus.

	CRITICAL THINKING
		Unfortunately, for all the apparent focus on critical thinking, it is often either not well understood, or it is not presented in a way that encourages people to use it.
		We also taught an elective session on critical thinking from 1993 to 1996 which focused on "teaching for thinking." As we continue to evolve the curriculum, we are starting to "infuse" critical thinking as we teach the content.
		AMSC’s role in critical thinking will be to continue assisting other schools in implementing it, to continue to evolve new ways of modeling and evaluating good thinking within an Army and government-wide environment, and to expand participation in academic discussions of this topic.

	Coaching Winners: How to Teach Critical Thinking
		We, the faculty (who), are to teach critical thinking (what) throughout the curriculum (when), somehow (how) to all health care professional students (to whom) so that the new practitioners will be able to function effectively and creatively (with what effect) in the changing arena of health care after the year 2000.
		The change in focus to critical thinking needs to occur in a decentralized manner so that faculties are cognitively open to new paradigms and perspectives.
		Since acquiring critical thinking habits and skills is generally believed to be learned over a long period of time, it would logically follow that critical thinking needs to be taught throughout the educational program.

	A Professional Development Model for Colleges and Universities that Fosters Critical Thinking - The Critical Thinking ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In addition to workshops led by critical thinking experts, it is vital to provide faculty and staff with opportunities to continue developing as thinkers and to share ideas they are learning and testing in the classroom.
		Critical thinking must also be tied to the assessment of faculty, students, the college as a whole, and the accreditation processes.
		One effective way of measuring faculty knowledge of critical thinking, and the extent to which faculty are effectively teaching it, is by using the interview protocol found in a study conducted by the Center for Critical Thinking.

	Critical Focus - The Digital Video Information Network
		As you have probably noticed, focus becomes much more of an issue when at the telephoto end of the lens than the wide angle end.
		Hence the technique of zooming in to set focus and zooming back out--the focus setting on the subject is maintained, but the depth-of-field expands so that even if that person moves forward or back a bit they will stay in focus.
		In your example, if you focus on the far corner, you have actually set the focus of the lens behind most of the players (unless they are taking a corner shot).

		What we do is cast onto someone, or a thing outside of ourselves, the critical eye and voice that we also have of ourselves.
		Generally, what occurs is that the early critical eyes and voices we ourselves heard and felt early on from parents and other authority figures become ingrained in us as our own internal sound and sight.
		We then become that critical eye and voice that was once focused on us.
