Skill Level Intermediate
Now that we've gone through all of the tools and most of the techniques that I typically use when I am working on landscape images, I thought we'd just take a moment to look at some images and talk about my approach to them, not necessarily in terms of technical why I moved this knob and push this button, but just what I was thinking and why I edited them the way that I did, along with a few mechanical details. This is a shot in Death Valley. As you probably noticed by now, I spent a lot of time in the desert, especially in Death Valley. It's a really spectacular place, but don't tell anyone, because one of the things that is so spectacular about it is that no one is there.
Again, a storm was not so much breaking up as just a lot of clouds were going through. This is a sandstorm out here, way in the distance. As I mentioned before, scale in Death Valley is very, very strange. This is probably 20 or 30 stories high. Great light coming, because the sun was setting, but I was also standing in a place where a shaft of light had opened up in the foreground. That was not what caught my eye. What caught my eye was the sandstorm. Light at dusk changes very quickly. I knew I had to act quickly. I was driving down the road, I stopped, I got out, and I knew that I wanted to get a shot of this sandstorm that was all lit up.
I was worried that it was dark in the foreground, because it's a strange thing to have a dark thing in the foreground. I thought I need to find a subject. I just started walking around until I found this rock, and I planted it in the foreground. So I've got a foreground, a mid-ground, and a background. While the background was actually what had caught my eye, you would think that's the subject of the image. Of course, the rock kind of ends up, being the subject to the image. I like the shot. I am not entirely sure what I think about it. I am not sure that I haven't edited it a little too far. It looks little bit like a diorama. I kind of feel like there should be a fake neanderthal standing here or something.
But I do like that there is a context for this thing that had caught my eye in the first place. This was as in HDR, a bracket of three shots merged with HDR. I then did a lots of masked levels adjustments to paint in brightness here. I darkened this a little bit, and brightened up the foreground a little bit, with some isolated contrast adjustment here and there. This is just a geometric exercise in symmetry. I was walking along, and just noticed that the light was hitting this cloud of dust directly above a similarly-shaped dark mount.
This was originally a rectangular image. I cropped it square, because I thought that that highlighted these two things more. Pretty simple contrast adjustment, just wanted to be sure that this stuff stayed dark to bring this out. But this cloud was actually very visible in the scene. We've spent a lot of time talking about contrast, and how you got to get true black and have lots and lots of contrast. Here is an example where that's not true. Sometimes low contrast works really well. The original image was very contrasty. As I started working with it, I realized I just really like the dark tree standing out against the white background.
That made me realize this image is about luminance; therefore, it's a black-and-white image. So, I converted it to black-and-white, but the background is so contrast-y that it was hard getting separation. So, I thought, well, I'm going to lower the contrast of the background. I did that with an adjustment layer, a masked adjustment layer that lowered the contrast of the background, and then I increased the contrast of the tree a little bit. So, the tree is somewhat normal contrast, but the rest of the image is not. I think it works. Again, the light changes very quickly. This image should actually be cropped about here.
I saw that this cloud was being lit up by the sun. I noticed that the airplane when it was about here, and I thought only airplane is going to fly right through this. That's going to look cool. Landscape photography, like all photography, is about keeping your eyes open, and about being willing to wait. Sometimes you have to stand and wait for the light to change, and you've got to stand there for a long time. There are landscape photographers who plan a single shot months in advance. They will just be out hiking somewhere and see an area, and go, boy, this particular scene would look great in the late fall.
I know that because I know the light will be coming from this direction, and so and so forth. They will go get an almanac and figure out when the sun is going to hit that particular geographic location really well, and they will I plan to trip around it. Landscape photography is very often about almost working at geologic time. You're waiting a long time for shots to happen. Another low contrast shot, although not one where I've manipulated the contrast. This was an area where the low contrast of the scene just really caught my eye. I haven't done a lot to this. It was just very, very, very pink this evening.
This is at sunset, obviously. This is a shot that's about the light. It was just, oh, my gosh! There is this incredible pink. I've got to find something, and jumped out of the car, and simply tried to compose geometrically with all of these different elements that were there. Another shot that's entirely about light. I mentioned before that empty skies, though they're great for walking around and not getting rained on, are not the best thing for photography. So sometimes just seeing a contrail on this sky, can really be something you can work with. Still, what attracted me first was, wow, this light is really beautiful, what can I do with it? What I find to shoot? Then when I saw the plane coming along, I thought, okay now, I got something to work with.
I framed the shot, again, with some symmetry going on. I don't know that it really works, but sometimes you follow these ideas, even if they don't show up in the final image. I like this line versus this line here. But again, it's very often that you will see the light first, and then have to find something to shoot it in. Landscape photography is very often more of an impressionistic approach of "I'm not actually taking a picture of a particular landscape; I'm just taking a picture of the light." All photography is like that, to a degree. In case you hadn't guessed, this is an HDR image.
This is one of my more HDR-ish images, but I actually don't mind how much extra HDR nonsense is going on in this image. Shiprock, this is something that we were working with earlier. The sky was great that day. I've done a lot of post-HDR processing on this. I've painted a great highlight into the middle of the image. It's almost achieving a vignetting effect, except I didn't want to darken the sky, because I liked the wide-open sky. I didn't want the viewer's attention being brought into the middle. I wanted to keep this expansiveness up here.
But I did want it to look like a hole in the sky had opened, and a bunch of light was being cast here. So, this is a fairly complex, circular gradient that's creating a field of light right here. Another way you could have achieved this would be to add a vignette to the image, and then composite it with a second image, and remove the vignette from it. This is a fairly just geometric form. This is an example of very exaggerated blacks. My eye can actually see full detail in here and full detail in the tree. But what's so great about this tree are these weird snake-like arms that it has, and I wanted to really exaggerate that.
So, I fixed the sky with a levels adjustment. That's got a gradient coming down this way. I painted in just lots of darkening by hand. This is using a very broad, very soft brush to get darkening where I want it, painting then with gray in here on the mask. Then I darkened up the tree some by hand. This is another rather extreme HDR image, but I think this one works just because it was a very dramatic day. This is behind Ubehebe Crator in Death Valley. I am telling you that specific location simply, because I wanted an excuse to say Ubehebe.
Ubehebe Crater is a volcanic crater at the northern end of Death Valley. That's very dramatic. One of the things about it is the landscape around it is all this volcanic landscape that's very baren and moonlike. I happened to turn around just right as the sun was breaking through and casting these incredible shafts of light down onto the ground. Do not keep your lens cap on when you're landscape shooting. Keep your camera powered up, your lens cap off, and your most flexible lens on your camera. I had about 15 seconds to get this shot. I managed to get my camera settings set accordingly, that was get it in Drive mode, get in Aperture Priority, set my aperture, put it on Auto Exposure Bracketing and get the shot.
If I had had to take the lens cap off, and change lenses, or even just turn the camera on, I might have missed it. Another HDR image. My taste has changed since I did this image. I would do this image differently now. I would back off on some of this background detail. I like the sky, and I like the fact that it really did kind of feel like this when I was there, not at all a literal image. Driving down the road, I realized, wow, this was weird. This road has half black and half white. Mostly, that's all that had caught my eye. I was driving pretty fast.
So I had got into the bottom of the hill, before I had slowed down enough to take the shot. Then I realized well, there was a moment up above where I noticed black and white road with this mountain behind it. So I turned the car around. That's a technique that we have not detailed in this lesson. But one of the most important photographic techniques you'll ever use is the U-turn, whether that's a three-point turn or a five-point turn, or if it's a really narrow road maybe even a seven point turn; it doesn't matter. You've got to go back and get the shot. When you get that hit of "I think there is a picture back there," you've just got to turn around and go.
Sometimes they= hit is just a flash. It's a very, very, very subtle impulse that just hits you. It may take you half a mile to decelerate and get turned around and go back, or find a place where you can turn around safely. I had taken more images after U-turns than any other type of image. It's a critical photographic technique. Because this image had originally struck me as this contrast between the left and right side of the road, and the darkness of these up here, it then became very obviously to me a black-and-white image. This is pretty much the exact opposite.
Again, an HDR image, but this as one where I think the extra HDR oomph actually does add something. However, the image did not come out of the HDR converter looking like this. I've done a whole lot of painting. Same thing, the bulk of what makes this image work is I've painted a big pool of light right here. Again, your job as a photographer is to guide the viewers' eye through the image. If there is a subject to this image, I don't believe it's this road. I don't believe it's the dramatic sky up here. I think it's this pool of light. Even though this part of the image is completely empty, your eye is just guided right into here, and then it just follows the road.
This is more of a definitely just atmospheric tonal piece than anything else. Another example of low contrast working very well: I've added a bunch of contrast into the mountain, and then pulled it way back. This is kind of what it looked like while I was there. I was really struck by just this strange kind of ghostly mountain off in the distance. I also did some work of adding a gradient to darken this as it recedes, to create more of a sense of death. This one was pretty easy. It just looked like this. The sky was breaking up, and this road was all lit up. I've done some contrast adjustment to exaggerate those tones, and to knock out some of the foreground.
That's it. As you can see, it's mostly about thinking about light. As we said at the beginning, that's what landscape photography is. Very often, you're not taking a picture of a landscape; you're taking a picture of the light that just happens to be around that landscape. You're looking like mad to try to find something in the landscape to anchor that light to.

Posted March 7th, 2014 @ 10:02am
I can't quite explain why these two dudes are dancing in towels in front of a mix of both ladies and gents in the audience (if it was all ladies, maybe I'd understand a bit more??) and the fact it's in another language doesn't help either, but does it really matter?? It's DAMN entertaining and PERFECT for a FEEL GOOD FRIDAY!

This will be my first time making turkey burgers. This recipe is in the running. I still want to check out some other recipes before I decide.
A fantastic change of pace that was truly delightful! After reading the other reviews, I did cut back on the poultry seasoning, as I didn't want it to be overpowering, and probably used about a teaspoon (I feel a little goes a long way). The turkey burger ended up very flavorful, with the bacon being a great addition. The truly outstanding part was the dressing, though! I had two small-ish Haas avocados that I used. The dressing came out so creamy and flavorful and was the star of the show that took these burgers over the top. Thankfully, it made a lot of dressing, which kept well in the refrigerator, and which I ended up using as a dip for tortilla chips (fabulous also). When serving the burgers, I added a slice of Muenster cheese (we are partial to cheeseburgers), which was a nice complement. I served this burgers on onion kaiser rolls. A wonderful, wonderful meal that I will enjoy often. Thanks for sharing!
This makes for a very tasty turkey burger! Turkey burgers can often be lacking in flavor, but not this one! I love the bacon bits and the poultry seasoning (although for personal preference, I might halve the amount of the seasoning next time. I like the flavor, but would like a bit less.). The avocado sauce was so yummy and a great addition to this burger. I used a non-dairy sour cream with success. Thank you!

Skill Level Intermediate
Before you correct the tonality of an image it's important to diagnose the problem that you want to correct. It takes practice to train your eye to read the tonal values in a photograph and even if you are skilled in the art of reading photographs, there will be times when you'll find it hard to determine what's wrong with an image by relying on visual cues alone. That's when the Histogram panel can really come in handy. The Histogram panel offers an invaluable way to evaluate photographs to diagnose problems that you want to correct and to monitor the effects of adjustments as you make them.
Let's start by opening the Histogram panel. You can do that by going up to the Window menu at the top of the screen and choosing Histogram or as I did, you can change you workspace to one that includes the Histogram panel like the Color and Tone workspace. By default the Histogram panel looks like this when you open it. I prefer to see it larger and so I like to go the panel menu on the right side of the Histogram panel group and choose Expanded View. In Expanded View I have a menu up here that I can use to change the way the channels in the image are represented.
By default the Histogram panel represents each one of the Color Channels in the image. I think it's easier to read the Histogram, if you go into the channel menu and you choose RGB instead which presents a composite view of the Red Green and Blue channels in an open image. The Histogram in this panel is basically a diagram or a bar chart of the tonal values in the open image. The left side of the Histogram represents the darkest tones in the image and the right side of the Histogram represents the brightest tones in the image.
The mound in between represents the Gray values in between the brights and the darks. If you could pull this mound apart, you'd see that it's made up of individual vertical bars. And each vertical bar represents a particular shade of Gray in the image. The height of a bar varies with the relative frequency of its tone in the open image. A tall bar like these in the middle of this histogram mean that there is lots of that particular tone in the open image. If there are no bars, in an area of the image or very few like those over here on the right, it means that there is not much of the corresponding tone in the image, so in this particular image, there isn't much white.
Many photographs look best if they have a wide range of tones and good contrast between the blacks and the whites, like this photograph does. So it's often your goal to expand the tonal range of a photograph as you are adjusting it. Now let me show you an image that doesn't have such a good tonal range. I'm going to click on lifeguard.psd, which is open in this tab. This image looks pretty flat when you view it and if you go over to the Histogram panel you can see why. There are lots of Gray pixels in the image and some dark pixels as well but there are no bright pixels at all. And that means there is very little contrast in the image because contrast refers to the difference between the bright brights in an image and the dark darks.
This could probably be fixed with an adjustment like Curves or Levels but before you apply an adjustment like that, you need to analyze what the problem is and the Histogram panel can help you with that. Now let's look at another image restaurant.psd which is also open here. In the histogram, it looks like there is a pretty good tonal range in this image from darks all the way over to brights. But there's one thing about this histogram to be wary of and that's the spike over here on the far right. A spike like this means that that area of the photo is clipped.
In other words, in this case, that the detail in these highlight areas is missing from the photograph. If you happen to be adjusting a photograph and you notice a spike either on the right side representing clipped highlights or on the left side representing clipped shadow areas, you might want to pull back a bit and your adjustment to avoid losing detail in those areas. Let's look at one more image, fence.psd. I'm showing you this image because by default the histogram represents the tones in an entire image. But if you want to, you can change the histogram to represent the tones in just a single layer.
I'm going to go down to the Layers panel here which has collapsed to make room for the histogram panel and I'll Double-click the Layers tab to expand the Layers panel again. Here you can see that there are two layers in this file. The foreground layer, which contains all this foreground image along with some transparent pixels, and the sky layer, which contains just the dark sky and some transparent pixels. Now if I select the sky layer in the Layers panel and I then go up to the Histogram panel, look how the histogram changes. If I change the Source of the Histogram from the Entire Image where there's a wide range of tones to the selected Sky layer. The histogram is now confirming that in the sky layer most of the pixels are gray or dark and there are no light areas at all. You can use this information if you are adjusting just the sky.
So as you can see the histogram is a really useful tool which can help you to evaluate an image before you adjust it and to understand the effects of your adjustments on an image as you make them. If you do have room on your screen, I'll suggest you always try to keep the valuable Histogram panel open whenever you are adjusting tone in an image.

Haywood was told last week he had made the hall, but was later informed he had not, leaving him upset about the misunderstanding.
"I don't know why there was confusion," Haywood, who played for five NBA teams, told the Las Vegas Review Journal. "Someone from the NBA told me I was in, then I found out Friday night that I wasn't in.
"This is so embarrassing. My stomach has been so bad I can't eat, I can't sleep. This isn't a punch in the stomach. It's below the stomach."
The official announcement of this year's hall selections will be made on Monday in Atlanta.
Meanwhile, with the clock ticking down in the NBA regular season, injured Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose remains noncommittal about his return.
Before the Bulls' shootaround on Sunday, Rose continued to say he is not sure when he will play again. But he is not ruling out playing this year.

World Care has a Free Loaner Program which loans out medical equipment at no cost to community members in need. The equipment that we loan out includes walkers, wheelchairs, bedside commodes, grabbers, toilet risers, crutches, and canes. Any community member in need simply places a request with World Care for an item. Items may be kept for as long as they are required; we simply ask that the item be returned when it is no longer needed so that it may be given to another individual in need.
Computers and advanced technology are an integral aspect of daily, modern life. As a result, World Care strives to provide computers for those populations who might not otherwise have the resources to acquire them. World Care receives tens of thousands of computers from corporations, educational institutions, government agencies, and individuals. After donated computers are received, they undergo a triage process to determine their potential use. Operational units are immediately refurbished by computer engineers.
The computers are then used in building clinics, schools, and other institutions locally and internationally. Those computers not used in humanitarian efforts are also sold to the public at World Care's thrift store. Additionally, computers deemed unusable are recycled for their plastics, metals, glass, and other parts.
High recidivism rates are attributed to many factors, one of which is the difficulty those recently released from prison face in finding the means to attain self-sustainability. To help combat this problem, World Care provides a stable working environment where those recently released from prison can gain volunteer and work experience.
We also provide opportunities for those in need of completing community service hours through volunteer work. Learn how to become a volunteer.
World Care offers training in the areas of disaster preparedness and civilian response, project management, warehouse, supply chain management, supply processing, shipping and receiving, inventory control, data processing, field needs assessments, statistics, computer refurbishing, computer disassembly, office assistant, retail, marketing, grant writing, research and more for volunteers, students, interns, special needs and work programs at our location in Tucson, Arizona.

Medicare MSA Plans combine a high deductible Medicare Advantage Plan and a trust or custodial savings account (as defined and/or approved by the IRS). The plan deposits money from Medicare into the account. You can use this money to pay for your health care costs, but only Medicare-covered expenses count toward your deductible. The amount deposited is usually less than your deductible amount, so you generally have to pay out-of-pocket before your coverage begins.
Medicare MSA Plans do not cover prescription drugs. If you join a Medicare MSA Plan, you can also join any separate (stand-alone) Medicare Part D prescription drug plan
There are additional restrictions to join an MSA plan, and enrollment is generally for a full calendar year unless you meet certain exceptions. Those who disenroll during the calendar year will owe a portion of the account deposit back to the plan. Contact the plan provider for additional information.

A very close friend of mine has Hep C. I don't know anyhtingĀ about it except from a quick google search. I asked my boss if she knows anything about it and she said its serious. She had a friend who died that had Hepatitus C but she said there were also other health problems. I didn't know it was so serious. Anyone know anything about it from personal experience (like a friend or family or aomeone you know with it)?
Hepatitus C
STACEY mommy to Katie Lynn 1/28/2009Ā
& Zoe Nicole 6/21/2011

Transmitted through needles, sex, blood transfusions. Damages the liver mostly. It cannot be cured, but there are treatments.
Annie... Mom to 3 BOYS!
Well for starters Hep C is spread through IV drug use, so you shouldnt be at risk. Its an disease that attacks your liver.
My dad has Hep C and claims it was from a blood transfusion he needed after a car accident several years ago, although I don't know if I believe that. He is currently on Interferon which is an injectable and it's supposed to clear out the virus. This is his second round of the Interferon, the first time it came right back 6 months later. The meds make him very, very sick. He feels like crap all of the time. The Hep C has badly damaged his liver and if this round of Interferon doesn't work, things don't look so good for him.
"Well for starters Hep C is spread through IV drug use, so you shouldnt be at risk. "
Please make sure you know facts before you start posting things like this. You can get it other ways than just IV drug use.

EW goes inside the mind of the Dark One, a.k.a. The Dark Swan, with an extensive chat with Jennifer Morrison about what's in store:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let's talk about where we're picking up with Emma, since the Comic-Con video showed her in a jail cell in the Enchanted Forest.
JENNIFER MORRISON: Right. That was just a teaser to show what we're looking at. That's not a piece of the show, so that was just for Comic-Con. That's not an extraction from the actual episode.

Report: Steelers' Bell, Blount to play vs. Eagles; discipline could be ways off
Neither player should face much in the way of punishment from the league, and that punishment might not be handed down until 2015.
Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount were stopped Wednesday afternoon after police smelled marijuana coming from their car. The two, along with an unidentified woman, admitted that the weed was theirs, and the Steelers' top two running backs could face marijuana possession charges. The incident took place an hour before the team charter headed to Philly for a Thursday night game.
In terms of poor judgment, this ranks right up there with Najeh Davenport's alleged hamper escapades.
But the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette thinks that neither player should face much in the way of punishment from the league.
"The two probably face no more than a one-game suspension and that won't come anytime soon," Bouchette writes. "Bell could be in for a tad more if tests at the hospital yesterday showed he indeed was driving under the drug's influence."
Blount traveled with the team to Philadelphia while Bell had to make his way to the City of Brotherly Love on his own dime.
Le'Veon Bell arrives in Philly: http://t.co/pR4YRO7KO3 MT @EdBouchette: Bell NOT on Steelers charter but made his way to Philly on his own.
— ryan wilson (@ryanwilson_07) August 21, 2014
According to NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala, Bell and Blount will play against the Eagles. But as Bouchette points out, the issue isn't that the running backs were smoking marijuana but that they were doing it right before the team charter was scheduled to leave.
Back in February, former Steelers safety Ryan Clark said, "I know guys on my team who smoke. A lot of it is stress relief. A lot of it is pain and medication. Guys feel like, 'If I can do this, it keeps me away from maybe Vicodin, it keeps me away from pain prescription drugs and things that guys get addicted to.' Guys look at this as a more natural way to heal themselves, to stress relieve and also to medicate themselves for pain. Guys are still going to do it."
Clark's right: Guys are going to do it but, again, the issue is when Bluntman and Chronic decided to light up. The good news for Steelers fans is that it could 2015 before either player faces discipline from the league.
Considering that Dwayne Bowe just got suspended for a Nov 2013 arrest, I don't see Bell or Blount missing any time this season.

I'm trying to switch and the other provider is telling me that I have to pay them in full before I can switch. Then I got a relative to open another electric provider account in their name and they requested documentation like a lease agreement and signed forms. They came back saying that the previous tennant or the tennant listed on the lease agreement would have to pay the other electric provider in full before they could open an account for this relative. They said that Stream energy had a hold on this account and would not allow any other electric provider to open a new account to provide electricy there. Unbelievable!

WPMU New Blog Defaults has some bonus features that affect the way email is sent from WordPress. Specifically, you can change the default FROM ADDRESS and FROM NAME with New Blog Defaults.
If you do not set a FROM NAME in New Blog Defaults, the plugin will automatically use your blog domain name as the FROM NAME in emails.
While this may be a reasonable thing to do, it's not possible to change this -- at least not using the popular Gravity Forms or WP Mail SMTP plugins. Those plugins allow you to set the FROM NAME for emails, but New Blog Defaults seems to supersede them.
I suspect this has to do with this function in New Blog Defaults:
function cets_nbd_from_name($from_name)
$options = get_site_option('cets_blog_defaults_options');
if (isset($options['from_email_name']) and strlen($options['from_email_name']) > 0) {
return $options['from_email_name'];
else {
global $current_site;
return $current_site->domain;
I think this basically says "use what we've set in New Blog Defaults, if it's set; otherwise, use the site's domain instead."
This seems to override everything else.

The action around campus placements is picking up. And this time, engineering colleges or T-schools have a bunch of modern geeks to offer to the hi-tech companies. At present, the buzzword in the $60 billion Indian software industry is 'cloud computing', and our home-grown technical institutions realise that. While many have already introduced specialised courses or full semesters on cloud computing, some are on their way.
Renowned names like IITs, IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-Delhi comprehend the importance of cloud computing in their educational curriculum and research projects, along with the infrastructural support that cloud can provide them.
Taking the latest example, Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) in Delhi is about to launch a specialised course in cloud computing from the next semester. It will also be introducing cloud computing in the educational curriculum from the current semester for its 300 odd students in the college. Pushpendra Singh, assistant professor at the institute says, "Students are very keen to learn cloud computing and the demand has come from their eagerness to learn innovative technology. We are enthusiastic to use the cloud platform for research as well as education." The institute uses Google act engine and Microsoft as platforms for cloud computing.
A few technical schools projected the importance of adding cloud in their educational curriculum much earlier. Vasudeva Varma, associate professor, International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad, takes us through the journey of the institute, "We are conducting a cloud computing course for the last three yearswhich is very popular. This was perhaps the first course in India on cloud computing. About 100 students take this course today, the number was 45 three years back. It is not a compulsory course, but it is a very popular elective course."
He further elaborates that this course was developed taking inputs from Yahoo! Cloud Computing group. Many industry leaders from Yahoo!, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Pramati give guest lectures in the course. It is a full semester course which expands over a five month period.

Arguments on sentencing are due to begin on Wednesday and all four could be hanged for the murder conviction, said VK Anand, the defence lawyer for one of the accused.
They had all pleaded not guilty.
"All four accused committed on all sections," said Anand.
In March, the fifth accused, Ram Singh, hanged himself from the grille in the ceiling of his prison cell. Officials said he had made a noose from the mat he slept on.
The juvenile tried separately in the same case was sentenced to three years in juvenile detention last month, the maximum penalty that could be imposed because of his age.
The victim's parents, who were upset with the sentence awarded to the juvenile, said nothing less than death to the four accused — Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur and Pawan Gupta — will mean justice for their deceased daughter.
The four accused were charged with gang rape, murder, attempt to murder, unnatural offences and destruction of evidence and dacoity among other offences.
What happened on the night of December 16, 2012
Police said the 23-year-old physiotherapy student and her friend were lured into the bus, both were beaten and then the woman was taken to the rear of the bus and raped. They were then thrown, bleeding, on to a dark roadside. The woman died in a Singapore hospital nearly two weeks later where she was airlifted for specialised treatment.
According to the chargesheet, the juvenile had subjected the 23-year-old physiotherapist to sexual abuse twice, including once when she was unconscious. He extracted her intestine with his bare hands and suggested she be thrown off the moving vehicle devoid of her clothes, it says.
"Of all the persons in the bus, two had engaged in the most barbarism - Ram Singh, the main accused in the case, and the juvenile," said an officer.
"Both of them had subjected her to sexual abuse twice. Singh was the first to rape her followed by the juvenile and then Akshay. Later, when she lost consciousness, Singh and the juvenile raped her a second time."
The juvenile used his 'sing-song' whistle to lure the couple aboard the bus.
As the bus drove through the streets of the capital, the men repeatedly raped and tortured the 23-year-old with a metal bar before dumping her and her friend, naked and semi-conscious, on the road, prosecutors said. Her friend later recovered, but the woman's internal injuries were so severe that she died in a Singapore hospital two weeks after the attack.
