Front of the Class is a 2008 American docudrama film directed by Peter Werner that is based on the 2005 book Front of the Class: How Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had by Brad Cohen and co-authored by Lisa Wysocky, which tells of Cohen's life with Tourette syndrome and how it inspired him to teach other students.
Twelve-year-old Brad Cohen lives in Missouri with his divorce mother, Ellen, and younger brother, Jeff. He constantly gets into trouble with his father Norman and his teachers at school due to his tics. In one class, his teacher calls him to the front to make him apologize to his class for disrupting the class and promise he won't do it again. Determined to find out what is wrong with her son, Ellen seeks medical help. A psychiatrist believes that Brad's tics are the result of his parents' divorce. Ellen takes her search to the library and comes across Tourette syndrome in a medical book. She shows this to the psychiatrist, who agrees with the diagnosis, and says that there is no cure. Brad and his mother soon attended a support group. From then on, Brad aspires to never be like the other members of the support group and to become successful.
At the beginning of middle school, Brad is sent to the principal's office for being disruptive. The principal invites him to the school concert later in the afternoon. At the end of the concert, which Brad's Tourette's tics had disturbed, he calls Brad up to the stage and asks Brad to talk about his condition. As Brad makes his way back to his seat, the school applauds him. From that moment on, Brad aspires to become a teacher, just like the principal.
As an adult, Brad lives with his roommate Ron in Georgia and is looking for work as an elementary school teacher. He is turned down after 24 interviews because of his Tourette syndrome and finally gets an interview where the staff is accepting and they give him the job.
On his first day, Brad explains the syndrome to his students. He helps a boy with ADHD, Thomas, with reading and makes an impression on Heather, a girl with terminal cancer. Another student's father pulls her out of Brad's class as he fears Brad will distract her. When the little girl tries to sneak into Brad's class again, he expresses his gratefulness but doesn't oppose the girl's father's wishes and reminds her that her father is doing what he thinks is best for her.
Brad meets a woman named Nancy Keene on an online dating site. After dating her for some time, he invites her over for Thanksgiving back at Ellen's house, where he tells Nancy he loves her, and the feeling is reciprocated. He confides in Ellen his concern that Nancy will get fed up with his tics, but she reassures him that he must not let his condition get in the way.
An observer at the school assesses Brad's teaching, and the head teacher announces that Brad has been chosen to receive the Teacher of the Year award, which he accepts in front of his family, friends, and students. The ending titles show that Brad got his master's degree; he dressed up as Homer, the Atlanta Braves' mascot; he married Nancy in 2006; and a photograph of the real Brad teaching his class is shown.
Following his 2006 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, in 2007 Cohen spoke at a conference after Timothy Shriver of the Special Olympics. According to Shriver, "The audience 'was laughing, then crying, then laughing, then crying, then cheering, and at the end, they gave him a huge standing ovation.'"[1] Shriver suggested the movie to Cohen and became the executive producer one year later.
Although tics steadily decline for most children as they pass through adolescence,[9][10] Cohen still has frequent and loud vocal tics and barking. He joked: "I'm hoping I don't get kicked out of my own movie."[7]
Cohen was concerned that the movie should stay truthful and avoid sensationalizing Tourette syndrome. He was pleased with the overall result, although he noted some dates in his life were sped up for effect (for example, the date of his wedding).[1]
The difference is often greater on WA lenses which are pulling in light at large angles but a lot depends on the lens design - the physical max internal aperture on that 28/2.8 ais is well back from the front element. On the Z I suppose that it is much closer to the front.
Basically, the parameters of the Z mount (its diameter and flange back) allows the lens designer to use larger elements in the rear of the lens and, as a consequence, reduce the size of front elements -- it's almost an inversion of the way 28mm lenses for SLRs are designed.
This is also true of the Canon RF mount and the other mirrorless mounts to one degree or another. Canon talks about it in some depth in their RF mount white paper. There's a graph on page 11 that illustrates the idea.
For the OP: the first optical layout indicates that the iris is very close to the front of the lens - between elements 2 and 3. The entrance pupil is correspondingly about the same diameter as the front element.

Widgets that stack, or move in front of other elements, often present challenges when placed into real world pages. It's usually easy to either change the z-index or the parent of the stacked element to avoid any collisions on the page. However, jQuery UI needs a generic solution that doesn't require manually playing with z-index values. This is accomplished via the ui-front class, and usually an accompanying appendTo option on stacking widgets.
The ui-front class is very basic. It just sets a static z-index value on the element. However, the existence of the class is used to indicate that an element is a stacking element, which indicates where additional stacking elements should be appended. This allows us to take advantage of nested stacking contexts, resulting in a default DOM position that works for most use cases.
Stacking elements are defined as elements with the ui-front class, or any native element that creates a new stacking context. Currently, is the only native element that is considered a stacking element.

A teacher provided each student in his class with a piece of paper, told them to crumple the paper into a ball and offered a chocolate bar to anyone who was able to shoot his or her paper ball into a trash can at the very front of the room. There was one catch--the students had to shoot from where they were sitting in the lecture hall. Obviously, the students who sat toward the front of the class had the best opportunity to receive the prize. They had the most privilege.
