Is a polarizing filter the same as a haze filter?

A haze filter, typically an 81A or 81B Wratten-type filter is used to cut down the amount of ultraviolet light entering the camera's optics. You can use this instead of a clear glass filter to protect the front element of your camera lens. There are two types of polarizing filters - linear and circular. Depending on your type of camera (film versus digital), you may need to use a circular polarizer to be able to see through the lens system. Polarizers cut down the amount of light entering the lens by acting like a set of Venetian blinds and letting light only come in as a single plane. There is more information on polarizing filters in the question In photography what does a polarizing filter do?


What would a blue object look like in a green light?

Well, it depends. If you have a perfectly blue item that reflects no other color, and your light source has a Wratten 61 dark green filter that passes no other color, the object will appear black. You're probably not set up that way, though. If you have just an ordinary blue thing, and you illuminate it with a green light bulb you bought at a hardware store, the object will be bluish-green. The blue thing reflects all colors--blue mostly, but all colors to some extent--and the green light has some of all colors of light because, after all, it's just got to look green to be satisfactory.


What is the definition for urban poverty?

There is no consensus on a definition of urban poverty but two broad complementary approaches are prevalent: economic and anthropological interpretations. Conventional economic definitions use income2 or consumption complemented by a range of other social indicators such as life expectancy, infant mortality, nutrition, the proportion of the household budget spent on food, literacy, school enrolment rates, access to health clinics or drinking water, to classify poor groups against a common index of material welfare. Alternative interpretations developed largely by rural anthropologists and social planners working with rural communities in the third world allow for local variation in the meaning of poverty, and expand the definition to encompass perceptions of non-material deprivation and social differentiation (Wratten 1995; Satterthwaite 1995a). Anthropological studies of poverty have shown that people's own conceptions of disadvantage often differ from those of professional experts. Great value is attached to qualitative dimensions More generally, there has been a widening of the debates on poverty to include more subjective definitions such as vulnerability, entitlement and social exclusion. These concepts have been useful for analysing what increases the risk of poverty and the underlying reasons why people remain in poverty. Vulnerability is not synonymous with poverty, but refers to defencelessness, insecurity and exposure to risk, shocks and stress. Vulnerability is reduced by assets, such as: human investment in health and education; productive assets including houses and domestic equipment; access to community infrastructure; stores of money, jewellery and gold; and claims on other households, patrons, the government and international community for resources at times of need (Chambers 1995, cited by Wratten 1995). Entitlement refers to the complex ways in which individuals or households command resources which vary between people over time in response to shocks and long-term trends. Social exclusion is seen as a state of ill-being and disablement or disempowerment, inability which individuals and groups experience. It is manifest in 'patterns of social relationships in which individuals and groups are denied access to goods, services, activities and resources which are associated with citizenship' (ILO 1996).
