The Point of View (POV) in a story or novel is the narrative perspective from which the story is told. When you tell a story about other people using he, she or they (or it) to describe the events they experienced: that is a third person narrative. It's a natural way for us to tell stories about things that happened to other people or things.
In third person narrative it is clear the narrator is not personally involved in the story and play no part in the events and have no influence on the outcome.
There are two distinct ways to use third person narratives: close or limited and roaming or omniscient. Here I will discuss the latter.
A story in the omniscient or third person roaming point of view has a narrator who has a complete overview of every event, they can see every character and, more importantly, are privy to the thoughts, feelings and motivations of everyone in the story. So an omniscient narrator can be authoritative and truthfully tell us what is happening to all the characters.
The idea of a 'roaming' third person narration comes from the idea that the third person narrator is sitting on the shoulder of a character seeing, experiencing events from their point of view and able to see and hear their thoughts and inner dialogue you (just as a third person close or limited narrator would) but the roaming narrator can move from one character to another. One thing to be wary of in this type of narrative is 'head hopping' where we move to rapidly between characters or even back and forwards between them.
Stephanie was pleased to have found a parking space so close to the bar. Strictly speaking the space was only to be used after 6pm and it was still only five minutes to but she was already late and it was pouring with rain. She congratulated herself as she ran for cover popping the central locking over her shoulder as she went. Unbeknown to her the traffic warden had sheltered in the shadows of the funeral parlour doorway and he gave a smirk as he realised he would achieve today's quota today after all.
The bar was busy but Stephanie spotted Nicola holding course on the far side of the bar. Nicola was sipping from a glass of something pink. She spotted Steph and called across the bar, waving her arms and indicating the empty seat next to her. She'd been saving it and was relieved to see Steph was finally there as the bar was filling up and more than one person had already asked if it was taken. But that was typical of Steph, Nicola thought with a moment's irritation, always later than you expected and then easily offended if you hadn't managed to save her a seat as if you didn't care enough or something.
Steph plonked herself onto the bar stool and shrugged her jacket off.
'Have you see, Jack?' she asked Nicola off scouring the crowd for him.
'He's over there, ' replied Nicola flicking her head in the direction of the juke box. That was odd, he'd been there will Craig just a moment ago. 'Or he was,' she added, puzzled.
Jack peered from behind the pillar wondering if he could make it to the door without being spotted by the girls. He just wasn't in the mood tonight.
As you can see from this example, moving too fast between characters makes the story choppy and hard to follow but done well it's important to consider when it's appropriate to move from one character to another and how you can make the transition.
Epic stories with huge numbers of characters benefit from this kind of storytelling as the narrator can access all areas of the world and report on events, thoughts and conversations wherever they occur. Many countless classics have used this POV.
Consider this passage from 'Hard Times' by Charles Dickens
Art or nature though, the original stock of Louisa's character or the graft of circumstances upon it,—her curious reserve did baffle, while it stimulated, one as sagacious as Mrs. Sparsit. There were times when Mr. James Harthouse was not sure of her. There were times when he could not read the face he had studied so long; and when this lonely girl was a greater mystery to him, than any woman of the world with a ring of satellites to help her.
So the time went on; until it happened that Mr. Bounderby was called away from home by business which required his presence elsewhere, for three or four days.
The narrator is able to tell us Louisa's reserve baffles Mrs Sparsit and that Mr Harthouse is unsure of her and then in the next paragraph we learn Mr Bounderby was called away on business – all thoughts and activities are known to the narrator.
In this passage from "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett the story is focused on Mary.
During the confusion and bewilderment of the second day Mary hid herself in the nursery and was forgotten by everyone. Nobody thought of her, nobody wanted her, and strange things happened of which she knew nothing. Mary alternately cried and slept through the hours. She only knew that people were ill and that she heard mysterious and frightening sounds. Once she crept into the dining-room and found it empty, though a partly finished meal was on the table and chairs and plates looked as if they had been hastily pushed back when the diners rose suddenly for some reason. The child ate some fruit and biscuits, and being thirsty she drank a glass of wine which stood nearly filled. It was sweet, and she did not know how strong it was. Very soon it made her intensely drowsy, and she went back to her nursery and shut herself in again, frightened by cries she heard in the huts and by the hurrying sound of feet. The wine made her so sleepy that she could scarcely keep her eyes open and she lay down on her bed and knew nothing more for a long time.
Many things happened during the hours in which she slept so heavily, but she was not disturbed by the wails and the sound of things being carried in and out of the bungalow."
This too is told from an omniscient POV. Despite the focus on Mary we are told that she 'was forgotten by everyone. Nobody thought of her, nobody wanted her, and strange things happened of which she knew nothing.' At the end of the excerpt we read 'Many things happened during the hours in which she slept so heavily, but she was not disturbed by the wails and the sound of things being carried in and out of the bungalow.'
So the narrator knows the thoughts of other 'off-stage' characters and things happening of which Mary was unaware. So this is an omniscient or roaming narrator even though the prose is focussing on one character's experience.
Rewrite the head hopping example above using a 3 rd person roaming or omnisicient POV and post it in the comments below for review.
The Point of View (POV) in a story or novel is the narrative perspective from which the story is told. When you tell a story about other people using he/she or they (or it) to describe the events they experienced: that is a third person narrative. It's a natural way for us to tell stories about things that happened to other people or things.
In third person narrative it is clear the narrator is not personally involved in the story and play no part in the events and have no influence on the outcome.
There are two distinct ways to use third person narratives: close or limited and roaming or omniscient. In this article we will discuss the former.
This narrative perspective allows you to stay close to one character so you can create an intimacy as you might with a first person POV. The narrator can tell us what our character is doing and is privy to their thoughts, ideas, observations and motivations. However, the actions, motivations and emotions of other characters will have to be shown and inferred from the things the central character is party to: dialogue, facial expressions, body language, actions or behaviour.
As with first person POV there is a challenge in exposing important events that happen 'off stage' or between other characters as the narrator cannot witness them.
Third person point of view enables you to be more objective that first person. By definition a first person POV is subjective. Someone telling their own story might say another character was completely unreasonable and haughty but in a third person narrative it's easier to show the other character trying to meet the protagonist halfway. The narrator and the viewpoint character are different people so third person can say things a first person might not.
So for example, a passage from my own novel, Lacking Grace.
"Blue, you're distracting me," muttered Grace.
Blue had her fingers laced together and rested in her lap, thumbs rolling slowly around one another.
"I'm not making a sound."
"You're twiddling and fiddling and it's annoying."
"Grace is trying to write a letter." said Mabel.
"I know that," Blue rolled her eyes, "That's why I was sitting quietly minding my own business."
"Oh will you two just stop squabbling. I am trying to concentrate." snapped Grace.
A first person narrator might just say, Blue and Mabel wouldn't stop interrupting me and I asked them very politely to stop (because that's how the character imagines things were.) If I am telling you about myself I am less likely to paint myself as bad tempered or unreasonable that a third person narrator who is likely to be more honest.
I chose third person close/limited for my novel because, Grace, the protagonist, has periods of deep depression and self-loathing and I felt we needed some distance from her at those times. However, I wanted the immediacy of being able to bear witness to her journey even at times she didn't understand what was happening to her.
Here's an excerpt from Barbara Kingsolver's novel, 'Unsheltered'.
"I didn't know there was like a baby," she said finally.
Willa resisted pointing out it wasn't like a baby, it was the actual article. This was not much of a friend, if Tig hadn't mentioned the baby bomb dropped on the family.
"I mean, that you guys were still, you know, parents. It's little."
With some effort Willa worked out the girl's mistake, and nearly laughed. She could have been flattered but knew better; fifty-five and thirty-five look just alike to the more self-absorbed of the younger set. They don't see themselves reaching either of those ages, so it doesn't matter. And it wasn't a compliment: braless in her sleep T-shirt and sweatpants, Willa was the picture of worst-case motherhood. And in no mood for chitchat about the family tragedy, frankly. She opted to stick with small talk until she could be dismissed.
This is being related from the POV of Willa but in third person limited. We are privy to Willa's irritation that the girl uses the word 'like' inappropriately and her amusement that she is mistaken for the baby's mother (she's his grandmother) but the description of her braless in her sleep T-shirt and sweatpants and the conclusions 'Willa was the picture of the worst-case motherhood' is probably harsher than she might have described it. Perhaps she would have excused her slovenly appearance on the basis she's a grandmother, coping with a small baby at a time when she could be expecting to relax and enjoy time to herself.
Take a passage from a favourite book written in the first person POV (ie. a story told from the perspective of 'I') and rewrite it in third person closed. Analyse how this changes the immediacy, honesty and intimacy of the piece. Post your ideas and thoughts in the comments box below.

Staying Connected with your Spouse after Kids
Lindsay Watkins, RD, IBCLC, Take Control Health Coach
May 15, 2020
A new baby is an exciting and busy time in life – the beauty and thrill of bonding love, first smiles, first laughs, and nurturing care. Exciting at first, new parents soon learn how challenging the first year can be. Sleepless nights, countless diaper changes, and an endless feeding schedule can be exhausting and overwhelming.
Whether you have one or more very small children, it's usually hard on a relationship. The transition from a couple to a family is a big transition. Who has time for date night? Nevertheless, the family dynamic will be stronger and long-lasting if couples make an effort to communicate and stay lovingly connected.
Here are some tips to get you through the first weeks, months, or even years of child-rearing:
- Get out of the house without your baby! Even if it's just to go to the gym together or grab a quick ice cream cone. If you don't have a babysitter, ask a fellow mom-friend if you can start a weekly childcare swap. It is hard to leave your baby, but remember, time together will strengthen your relationship, and you'll be better parents for it.
- Take evening breaks from electronic distractions. When you finally get the kids to sleep at night, put away your smart phones, computers, and television. Use this morsel of time to connect as a couple. Talk, and really listen to each other. Not only will it help your relationship, it will help your sleep! Studies show that winding down without electronic stimulation helps you sleep better.
- Stay physical. You may not be able (or want) to have sex postpartum, but there are other ways to connect physically. Try massages, kissing, snuggling, holding hands, and pillow talk. Physical intimacy reduces stress, builds trust, promotes chemistry, increases relationship satisfaction, and expresses love.
- Schedule time alone. You really need time for yourself, and so does your spouse. Sit down at the beginning of each week and schedule a little personal time for each of you. You'll return to each other rejuvenated and ready to reconnect.
- Random acts of kindness. Make their favorite dessert, send a sweet text while they're at work, put a little note in their lunch -- let them know they're still important. Kindness begets kindness, so this could encourage a nice chain of reciprocation.
- Greet each other when you get home. When either of you return home, make a point to seek out and acknowledge each other. Even if you're tempted to start rattling off a to-do list, or pass-off the baby for a much-needed break, start with a hug and smile. After long days for both of you, this small step can really go a long way!
- Have a date night in. After the kids get to sleep, consider staying up and planning something a little special. How about a backyard wine picnic, a movie date on the couch, or even playing board games. Here's a great list of 32 Stay-At-Home Date Ideas.
Even if you can only manage one or two of these ideas, a little goes a long way. As you get used to this new life, it will feel less overwhelming and more feasible. Staying connected as a couple will help reduce resentment and increase both parents' abilities to work as a team as you navigate this journey.

"... I like that even the free version has a lot of functionality and isn't a 15-day trial that asks me to pay $50 to a company that I doubt still exists (that was the last program I used, and its full version didn't even have the functionality of Efficient To-Do List's free version). The first sign (for me) that this was going to be good was that the full version is less than $25. ... Secondly, the ability to decide what you want to see (i.e. you can change the view to only look at what's due that week or that month, see what is overdue, or look at high priority tasks) so you can further organize your time. ..."

I've always loved the combination of sneakers with blazers… on other people. Historically, every time I've tried to combine heels with yoga pants, or a workout vest with tailored trousers I've always just felt like I was in a mad rush leaving the gym and got caught somewhere in between looks. Athleisure is a cool trend, but not one I've ever felt comfortable in.
Still, a desire for comfortable feet without wearing a whole outfit looking like I'm off to run a 5K has led me to experiment with the classic sneakers and blazers look once again – and finally, I think I'm getting somewhere.
// the grey blazer (thrifted)
I think this blazer is playing a big part in making this look feel comfortable for me. It's a very soft, cotton material which gives it a much more relaxed feel than some of the more tailored, black blazers I own. I also love that the lining of this is a grey and white stripe which is on display when I roll the sleeves up (which I basically always do). In particular with this outfit I love that the sleeve stripes run the opposite way from the stripes on the shirt sleeves which are visible underneath.
// the striped, button down shirt (thrifted)
While I'm definitely getting more into button-downs in general just now, I think it was definitely this shirt that kicked that off for me. Honestly, this was really the first fitted shirt I ever wore that didn't feel like a "school shirt" to me. Again, I think the soft cotton fabric has a lot to do with this, as well as the blue pinstripe, which I just find so inspiring – it's one of those pieces I can see myself wearing in every season.
// black, leather cross-body bag (thrifted)
This was a more recent charity-shop find for me. It was spooky actually, I had it in my head that I was looking for a compact, black cross-body bag (with a good closure) that I could use for everyday errand running and such, then, lo and behold, in the second store I went into, I found this! It pretty much perfectly met my criteria and I've worn it basically everyday since. I love that there's something slightly 90's mom about it – especially with this outfit somehow.
// black skinny jeans (birthday gift – they're Molly jeggings from River Island)
I decided that, as a general rule, I wasn't going to mention fast-fashion brands that I still own pieces from, or announce where thrifted items are "originally" from, because I don't really want to advertise these brands, however, I wanted to share a note about these jeans for readers who do still shop at River Island. My sister and I are long time Molly jegging fans; they're the only black jeans we've worn since about 2013 and we've each owned a few pairs in that time and worn them to death. This most recent pair, which was a gift from my sister who also bought herself a pair at the same time, are terrible. The fabric is already fading noticeably, they're also pilling across the thighs and the dye transfer has been crazy – even after a few washes. My sister has had the exact same experience as I have. So, I just wanted to put a note up, because taking aside the ethics of River Island, these did used to be a high quality product, and while I wouldn't have been buying another pair anyway, this massive drop in quality is such a huge turn-off.
// black low-top Converse (thrifted)
A rather epic charity-shop find if I do say so myself! I've pretty much lived in Converse trainers since about the age of 13 and have been very relieved to find that they're easily available second hand, meaning I don't have to quit my Chuck Taylor habit any time soon. I opted for this pair to wear with a blazer as I think them being black makes it easier (for a novice like me) than if I'd worn my pink or leopard print pair. This particular pair are a real staple for me, except for the fact that they come down very low at my ankle, meaning that I have to wear those strange teeny-tiny sock things with them as opposed to regular ankle or sneaker-socks – which is a bit of a pain!

50 Shades of Cancer, cancer, checkpoint inhibitors, immunotherapies, precision therapy, protein therapy, Robert Bell, targeted therapy
By Robert G. Bell
Another aspect of targeted cancer therapy is protein therapy. Protein therapy is a regimen intended to deliver a healing protein that is absent in a diseased patient. On paper, protein therapy would appear to be ideal for the cancer patient—an agent that facilitates site specific cancer apoptosis with little to no side effects. Imagine if we could add a protein, a new one or one that may be deficient in a cancerous state, that would prevent metastasis and facilitate cancer cell death. In reality, it can be difficult to deliver the optimal dose of the intact protein to the site of action within the cancer cell. Regardless, protein therapy will continue to evolve as cancer therapy, both as an individual agent and in combination with other cancer treatments (e.g., surgery, radiation, chemotherapy).
One such therapy involves a protein therapy that has the potential to prevent metastasis in breast and ovarian cancers. Last year, a team of Stanford scientists engineered a protein, without side effects, to act like a decoy protein to prevent metastatic signaling between Axl and Gas6 proteins. In animal studies, mice with an aggressive form of breast cancer and ovarian cancer had 78% and 90% respectively fewer metastatic nodules than untreated mice. To generate and engineer the protein, the Stanford research team used high-throughput screening to evaluate over 10 million Axl variants to find a variant that bound tightly to Gas6. Axl has two related proteins, Mer and Tyro3, that can also promote metastasis and are also activated by Gas6, opening up the possibilities of multiple sites of beneficial action and therapy.
Another interesting protein therapy involves generating the protein that allows cancer cells to proceed to apoptosis. A team of researchers at Okayama University identified the REIC/Dkk-3 gene as a gene whose expression is reduced in many human cancers such as prostate, bladder, testicular, and lung. When the researchers forced the expression of REIC/Dkk-3, it induced apoptosis in human prostate cancer cell lines lacking endogenous REIC/Dkk-3 expression but not in REIC/Dkk-3-proficient normal prostate epithelial and stromal cells (the apoptosis involved c-Jun-NH2-kinase activation, mitochondrial translocation of Bax, and reduction of Bcl-2). A single injection of an adenovirus vector carrying REIC/Dkk-3 showed a dramatic antitumor effect on a xenotransplanted human prostate cancer and could be a novel target for protein therapy of prostate cancer.
Another interesting immunotherapy is checkpoint inhibitors. Immune checkpoints, as the name implies, keeps the immune system in a balance with costimulatory and inhibitory signal checks. Immune-checkpoint proteins and signaling can be disrupted by tumors allowing an immune resistance mechanism to the tumors, allowing immunologic escape of the cancer antigens. Therapies to prevent this disruption are under development. One cancer in which checkpoint inhibitors is generating excitement is metastatic renal cell carcinoma. A promising candidate is nivolumab, which is an inhibitor of checkpoint protein programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and is now in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The use of these "softer" cancer immunotherapies such as cancer vaccines, protein therapies and check point inhibitors maybe able to compliment and add to conventional cancer chemotherapy and one day may offer safe and efficacious first line precision treatment alternatives to conventional cancer therapies.

All the latest news and views from the CPSU team
Anti-Poverty Week: Donations exceed expectations
THANKS to everyone who donated to United Voice's Anti-Poverty Week collection for Foodbank Tasmania. A whopping 350 kilos of food was donated, well above the 100 kilo target, and CPSU Members and Delegates were among those generous in their contributions to the appeal.
Foodbank, an organisation that does so much for struggling Tasmanians, had to dip into its reserves this year due to increased need and reduced funding from the state government. The Union Foodbank was held in the lead up to Anti-Poverty week, meeting its goal to increase Foodbank's stockpile of canned goods. The cause culminated in a Breakfast in Hobart last Friday where trolley loads of canned food were donated.
On Friday Foodbank CEO Edward Gauden asked the crowd to help Foodbank help Tasmanians in crisis, "We need food, we are calling out the government and Tasmanians to help us".
The State Secretary of United Voice, a union representing some of the state's lowest paid workers including public sector workers, said the State Government's cuts were shameful. Ms Armstrong said public sector workers were Tasmanians, and cutting public services hurt Tasmanians.
Tasmania is the state with the largest rate of poverty in Australia so we thank everyone who supported Foodbank.

B-HEX Pupil Expander
Easy, safe & economical pupil expansion device with thin, uniplanar notches and flanges design.
All other pupil expanders have scrolls, channels or pockets which makes the pupil engaging part a thick biplanar structure. This is difficult to pass through a slit corneal incision and causes snagging. Hence all these devices require an Injector for delivery and removal. The B-HEX® on the other hand has a thin profile and uniplanar design that allows it to glide through much smaller incisions without an Injector.

Immortal Triathlons have enjoyed great success at Stourhead in recent years. We all know not everyone is up for a swim, and maybe cycling is not your thing. In 2018 and 2019 the event sold out and over 300 Immortal athletes were unleashed on the Immortal 10k route with great results, and for 2020 we are hoping that you will be up for the challenge once more!
Enjoying the same fantastic finish line experience outside Stourhead House, the route will take in many of the stunning sights and views around Stourhead Estate and adjoining forestry. We cannot pretend this is an easy route, but to earn the right to become Immortal, it has to be tough.
Around 50% of the route is on really quiet closed country lanes, with the remainder on forest tracks and trails. With a total of 770ft/235m of climbing
The race will be a mass start, under the Stone Arch of the driveway to the house, at the 10am on Saturday 16th May 2020. Running through Stourton village, then past the Lakes before taking a right turn crossing a dam before starting the run for the trees. In early May the flora and fauna is guaranteed spectacular, and the sights and smells will distract you from the shift you are putting in!
The loop through the forest takes in some beautiful clearings and pasture before returning to the Dam which supports the lake, under the Stone Arch before returning through the village and onto the driveway to receive the respect and applause from the gathered spectators and families. A fantastic medal and a technical t-shirt will ensure the race stays long in the memory.

Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Jr., named after his grandfather NTR forayed into films at an early age of 19. With many highs and lows in his career, Tarak has seen it all in his almost two-decade long career. The recent years of his career has only been on the rise and post his 2016 release Janatha Garage, Jr NTR has become one of the biggest stars in South Indian cinema. Janatha Garage is one of the few films in Tollywood which is in the 100-crore club and the third in Tollywood. And with Jr NTR's latest release – Jai Lava Kusa – also receiving blockbuster openings on the first day of release, it certainly is on the path to become one of the biggest grossers in his career.
But what really catches attention in Jai Lava Kusa is Jr NTR's attempt to don triple roles which he has never done in his career before. And probably very few top stars have attempted and succeeded! With Jai Lava Kusa, Jr NTR enters the elite club of actors in South India who have played triple roles and those films went on to become blockbuster hits. Here's a quick look at those actors and film.
Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (Senior) in Daana Veera Soora Karna:
The legendary actor NTR played all the three roles of Karna, Duryodhana, and Krishna himself which is one of the rare feats in Telugu cinema back then given the technology that was available back then. This Hindu mythological film produced and directed by N. T. Rama Rao by his Ramakrishna Cine Studios banner. The film also starred both his sons – Nandamuri Harikrishna and Nandamuri Balakrishna.
Mega Star Chiranjeevi in Mugguru Monagallu:
Mega Star Chiranjeevi played all the three brothers in this film who get separated when they are very young and eventually meet in a dramatic situation. Chiranjeevi played a cop, a classical dancer and a gangster in Mugguru Monagallu and his portrayal of these roles made him a bigger star than what he already was at that point in time.
Kamal Haasan in Michael Madana Kama Rajan:
This comedy genre flick is rated as one of the best films in Kamal Haasan's career till date and is often taken as reference for films of this genre. Playing a millionaire, a traditional Tamil Iyer Brahmin and a hooligan, Kamal Haasan became one of the first South Indian actors to have tried his hands at triple roles back then. While the film was directed by Singeetham Srinivas Rao, the story was penned down by Kamal Haasan himself.
While all these films stand as milestone in these stars' career, speculations are high that Jai Lava Kusa will also scale such heights and will become one of the landmark movies in Jr NTR's career.

Nepal's fractured Maoists unite to form new party
Nepal's former rebel Maoists joined hands with hardline splinter groups to form a new political party on Thursday in a bid to bolster their strength after a string of splits.
The Maoists, who staged a decade-long insurgency in Nepal, are a minority partner in government but have lost ground since winning a landslide victory in the Himalayan nation's first post-war elections in 2008.
Many former guerrillas, including ex-premier Baburam Bhattarai, have broken away from the main party in recent years, accusing its leaders of betraying their original revolutionary ideals.
"After today, our days of defeat are over. This is the beginning of our victory," Maoist chief Pushpa Kamal Dahal, better known by his nom-de-guerre Prachanda, told cheering cadres in Kathmandu.
"We have to unite to take the process that we began together... to its conclusion. Unity is our only strength," he said.
Commentators said the Maoists' decision to reunite under a new name -- Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) -- emerged out of a need to reverse their declining fortunes.
They currently hold just 80 out of 575 elected seats in parliament, with the ruling coalition controlled by the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist).
An estimated 16,000 people died in the "people's war" fought by the Maoists against the state before the rebels signed a peace deal in 2006, paving the way for the Hindu kingdom's transformation into a secular republic.
"The divisions of the party after the peace deal affected their base on the ground and a reunification will energise their supporters and possibly attract voters as well," said Guna Raj Luitel, editor of Nepali daily Nagarik.
"In Nepal, bigger parties tend to win the votes. Their unification re-establishes them as a big party," Luitel told AFP.
While the new party brings together several Maoist splinter groups, a handful of leaders -- including Bhattarai, who quit last year to establish his own outfit -- have stayed out of the process.

A quick view of takui neko's recent activity.
TessAgree with CB and miptog here.
Some of the cooler color is because of her dress reflection on the skin. Not much that can be done there unless one wants to do a selective color correction applied to the trouble spots.
A somehow complex thing to do but very possible.
As for the fan being lost against the background I think maybe next time use a "hair light"* for it or play with the angle of the fan in relation to the camera, at some angle it should be light on the edges thus being separated from the background.
*For hair light I dont mean necessarily a strobe, just a small mirror can do the trick; since you have good daylight is a matter of angling properly. Old style
- 13 Jun 2008 3:59PM
meGood eye contact, good placement of subject. Not black and white though.
I cannot really give much input here besides style. There is thousand and thousand of this style of images on the net, mix of western-jpop culture and "scene" culture.
I have nothing against that besides the fact that they all look like a copy of a copy of a copy.
Style wise I think it could be useful to go to the source, some study on Jpop photography, jpop idol photography and the like would surely yield good results as most of it is very good photography.
Im sure that even there are thousands of those images (the MySpace ones) someone will be able to come up with a refined and better set.
That could be you.
- 5 Jun 2008 2:12PM
group photoNothing much to add to what miptog already said.
Maybe just a generic rule of explanation on why is good to bounce light.
As miptog says, diffused light will be softer, that means the shadows will be more diffused having a softer transition between light and dark.
The bigger the light source in relation with the subject, the softer the shadows will be (and so more evenly lit), the smaller the light source the harsher the shadows will be.
By bouncing you make the light source "bigger" in relation to the subject.
That is something to take into account when deciding types of light, as much diffused light tends to be less dramatic (less contrast) and harsh light the opposite. Of course, ambient and drama can be also done with much diffused light, overcast days, foggy mornings, etc...
For the specific setup you describe, without much equipment, I think bouncing all over is a safe way to go, you can always correct overall contrast and exposure with Photoshop or similar.
A problem that might arise though is color temperature, window light, a lamp and fluorescent all have different temperatures so it might a bit of a pain to equalize them all. Sometimes is better just to you use one source or two similar ones that you can correct later more easily.
- 26 May 2008 3:53PM
Lord LargeFrom a composition perspective it looks good, with the musician and his trusty pineapple placed in the frame where it gets more attention, as if the pineapple is the center of the show and the musician just a side kick.
From and overall image/lights viewpoint, maybe it could be interesting to just selectively correct light on the image, keeping the atmosphere and adding attention to the pineapple a bit more. Curves and masks maybe?
I would go for a compromise on both possibilities. The brighter mod adds some details that are lost in the original, yet the original has atmosphere that is lost in the mod.
As for exposure, it is indeed underexposed, but can't add that as a critique if that was the intention.
Maybe that should be added to the description of the image?
- 20 May 2008 5:26PM
buchaAdding to Ade´s comment:
The not sharp seems due to back focus, unless that happened during the manipulation process; look how the left arm is somehow more focused than the rest of the image.
That is normally due to the autofocus point on the camera. I do not know if in yours it can be changed or if it can be locked once you focus where you need in order to recompose later.
Im sure the manual will have something written about that; if not, try to have different objects at different distances from you and practice and observe where does your camera focus point is more sensitive.
From a composition point of view, and this is very subjective, I think that even though it is an interesting one, is also a very trendy one, very MySpace kind of angle...personally I think there is way too many of those, but if you can make them better than those, is always a good thing.

Last weekend, my friends gathered at Six Feet Under for lunch to celebrate a birthday. We had red velvet cupcakes, seafood and fun.
Afterward, since the weather was divine, Vince and I wandered across the street to the Historic Oakland Cemetery to take some pics. The cemetery was founded in 1850 by the City of Atlanta. It now encompasses 48 acres in downtown Atlanta. It is said that General John Hood watched Atlanta burn to the ground in this cemetery. Margaret Mitchell is also buried here. They have walking tours all year long, the Halloween tour being the most popular. I hope to get in this year, it fills up fast.

'Hogs Get Slaughtered, Pigs Get Fat'
CHICAGO (CN) – Two Chicago politicians, former Cook County Commissioner Joseph Moreno and former Alderman Ambrosio Medrano, were federally charged Thursday with accepting bribes in return for political favors.
During the undercover investigation, Moreno, a Cook County commissioner for 16 years until 2010, allegedly told a cooperating witness, "I don't want to be a hog; I just want to be a pig. Hogs get slaughtered, pigs get fat," the Justice Department said in a statement announcing the indictments.
Moreno and Medrano, former alderman of the 25th Ward, were arrested Thursday and charged with soliciting bribes in a scheme to persuade Stroger Hospital to buy Dermafill-brand bandages from two businessmen and co-defendants, Stanley Wozniak and Gerald Lombardi Sr. and Jr.
Stroger Hospital is a large public hospital in central Chicago.
When the hospital refused to buy Dermafill bandages without conducting clinical trials, an FBI undercover agent posed as a purchasing agent for the county hospital system and agreed to place an initial order of $10,000 bandages, with bigger orders to come. Medrano allegedly gave the agent $1,872 in cash for arranging the deal.
The indictment cites numerous text-message conversations between the four parties, including a message Lombardi Sr. allegedly sent to Moreno that stated: "Hermano. Are we eating huevos de toro [bull testicles] or steak. Please let me know."
The FBI undercover officer, Brendan O'Leary said in an affidavit: "I understand this to be a question as to whether they will be rich or poor based on Moreno's scheduled meeting with County Hospital Official B."
Moreno and Medrano were charged in two of three related indictments, the Justice Department said.
The government claims that Medrano introduced the same undercover agent to James Barta and Gustavo Buenrostro. Again, Medrano tried to bribe the agent, this time "in exchange for a promise to use Sav-Rx to perform mail-order prescription drug services for County A's hospital system," the Justice Department said.
Sav-Rx is a Nebraska-based provider of prescription drug services.
Moreno also was charged with accepting $5,000 to use his position on the Town of Cicero's Local Business Assistance Committee to approve a waste transfer development.
If convicted, the two pols face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each count of bribery.
If Medrano is convicted, it will be the second time he goes to prison for bribery. Sixteen years ago he served 30 months in federal prison for accepting $31,000 in bribes from a felon-turned-FBI mole in an investigation known as Operation Silver Shovel, the Chicago Sun-Times reportedtoday (Friday).
Medrano refused to be a "snitch" back then and wear a wire to snare other politicians, which is considered a worse sin in Chicago politics than the crime for which he served time, the Sun-Times reported.

ARAB — Just call it the youth movement.
Just two seasons ago Gadsden City's girls basketball team was led by two All-State seniors on their way to earning a berth in the Northeast Regional in Jacksonville.
If the Titans are to return to Jacksonville it will be on the heels of a freshman and a sophomore.
The combo of Camille Jenkins (sophomore) and Tameah Gaddis (frehsman) scored 17 combined points to lead Gadsden City (5-2) to a 49-38 victory over Arab Monday night.
Their early success is based on the fact that they have played with each other as far back as their eighth-grade years, according to Titans coach Jeremy Brooks.
"They are products of the feeder teams that my assistant coaches and myself have coached over the years to get used to the system I run," Brooks explained. "It's exciting to see them develop over the years and then become this productive on the varsity level at such a young age."
Jenkins poured in 11 points, while Gaddis had six Monday night. Adrianna Jones led the Titans with a game-high 19 points. Mya Davis pitched in nine points and eight rebounds.
The Knights (5-4) held a one-point lead going into the second period (15-14) and then saw that lead disappear for the remainder of the game after Gadsden City took a 22-17 advantage into the half.
The Titans increased their lead in the third period when Jones scored seven of her 19 points in the frame. Gadsden City then converted 3-of-8 free throws in the fourth period to settle for the double-digit victory.
Jasmine Davis led Arab with 13 points followed by Reagan Malone with 10.
Arab 68,
Gadsden City 50
Cold shooting on Gadsden City's part combined with the hot shooting by host Arab gave the Titans their sixth loss of the young season.
Dawson England scored a game-high 21 points and drained five 3-pointers to lead the Knights. Colby King chipped in 18, while Brooks Malone had 10 for Arab (4-4).
The Knights led at the 4:48 mark of the first period and never looked back.
Arab took a 15-13 lead into the second period and then built into a double-digit advantage by the half (34-23).
While the Knights converted six 3-pointers on the night, most of Gadsden City's jumpers beyond the 3-point arc were off target.
Dee Pearson led the Titans (3-6) with 14 points, while Demetrius Huff had 12. Calvin Williams chipped in nine, and Tyler Tucker had eight.
Gadsden City returns to action Tuesday when it plays host to Clay-Chalkville before traveling to Oxford on Thursday.

The Student Organization Fair, affectionately shortened to Org. Fair, being hosted at the Georgia State Stadium on Sept. 6 is the opposite of "fair."
For the past several years, the fair has been held within Student Center East's spacious ballrooms. Freshmen were able to easily walk from their dorms to the venue with nothing more to worry about than crosswalks. Students could easily come to and from the event between classes with ease.
This year, the fair is being held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., directly during rush hour at the Georgia State Stadium with busses transporting students back and forth through 1.3 miles of one of America's busiest cities.
Traffic will most likely be a major determining factor for whether or not students will be able to attend. Nobody wants to sit in an hour of traffic, attend a fair and then wait for a shuttle to slug them back to campus where their car is parked or back to their dorm.
Another issue that the awkward time presents to the university is that it's during many night shifts for students that work part-time jobs. Student involvement is vital for these organizations to thrive and without attendance to the event, there is sure to be a decline in membership, making the campus feel a little less colorful.
We believe that the fair should either be held where it has been in previous years or even at any one of the large parks around campus or a parking garage—literally anywhere else. The fair should extend over a larger amount of time than for one brief evening. Georgia State could help increase its student involvement by making the Org. Fair extended over several days or offering it all day at different times.
This careless planning shows how seriously Georgia State takes student organizations. Maybe it would garner more attentive planning if the school was making revenue off of it.
So we're offering a solution: have the Org. Fair in a convenient place for all students, a place where traffic doesn't matter as much and shuttles don't trudge through the streets. Have the Org. Fair at multiple times so students can experience more and give students a better chance to grow Georgia State into a university with enough active clubs to even silence Georgia Tech's school pride.
What's more, The Signal must speculate on and critique the university's decision to cause so much chaos without any official explanation. For a decision which causes such inconvenience to the student organizations involved, we would appreciate more information and accountability from the decision-makers. If there was limited space available, we want transparency.

Printed circuit boards are the heart and soul of our present and technological progress that leads us to an unimaginable future. Every day, printed circuit boards are used, from personal electronics to aircraft, robots, missiles to research projects both on the ground and in the universe. The PCB manufacturer is responsible for delivering high quality products for these important projects. There are several unique steps in the process of producing PCBs.
There are many companies that specialize in the manufacture of printed circuit boards, and you can expect the best service from them. Before choosing one, check their expertise areas and range of clients and projects that they have been running so far. It is also important to understand their infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities before ordering.
In the end, your business depends on the printed circuit board, and you would like a company that can provide quality, functionality and features without compromise. Of course, the cost of production is one of the many aspects that must be taken into account, and more than that, one must find a way to reduce the total cost. Make sure you can get a discount on bulk orders and get an estimate in advance to compare your choices. For PCB, you need to find a trusted name, even if it means paying more.
When sending Gerber files, each Gerber file represents one layer of PCBs. Make sure your supplier can read your production boards that would otherwise be Gerber files for the printed plates, but in some cases may also be files specific to the software. If you go with a manufacturer that also offers design services and a PCB prototype board, your manufacturer will usually be able to solve problems that may exist in your board files. This will help to avoid unnecessary delays.

This is a question we at Springwood Complete Automotive Services are being asked on a more regular basis, so I thought I would put together a list of some of the basic pros and cons surrounding the difference between diesel and petrol cars to help. Diesel Engines can be amongst the most fuel efficient cars in Australia. Governments worldwide have been pushing to produce low-emission diesel engines for not only passenger cars but trucks, buses, and industrial equipment.
There has been many advances with new low-sulphur diesel fuel, catalytic converters, particulate advanced filters, and other devices to cut down or destroy toxic emissions like Adblue. Adblue is a system that injects a urea and water solution into upstream of the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) reducing the nitrous-oxide emission by as much as 85%. We all know that diesels get great mileage. Image Source: AutoGuide.com. Auto Electricians South Brisbane, Springwood, Underwood, Slacks Creek.

Below is a list of projects with complementary goals to those of the Linux-HA project.
The Linux Virtual Server project (LVS includes Network Address Translation, tunneling, and direct routing). LVS recommends using the Linux-HA "heartbeat" code. There is a document describing how to configure them together.
UltraMonkey: LVS and Heartbeat and a GUI put together with nice documentation. Created and supported by long-time Linux-HA contributor horms.
HA-OSCAR High Availability Open Source Cluster Application Resources is an open source project aims to provide a combined power of High Availability and Performance Computing solution. Our goal is to enhance a Beowulf cluster system for mission critical grade applications. To achieve high availability, component redundancy is adopted in HA OSCAR cluster to eliminate this single point of failure. HA-OSCAR incorporates a self-healing mechanism; failure detection & recovery, automatic failover and fail-back. (HA-OSCAR uses Linux-HA technology)
High Availability RAID from Software RAID HOWTO
The Linux Scalability Project. The primary goal of this research is to improve the scalability and robustness of the Linux operating system to support greater network server workloads more reliably. We are specifically interested in single-system scalability, performance, and reliability of network server infrastructure products running on Linux, such as LDAP directory servers, IMAP electronic mail servers, and web servers, among others.
OSCAR Open Source Cluster Application Resources. The OSCAR is a snapshot of the best known methods for building, programming, and using clusters. It will hopefully bring some form of uniformity to clusters, foster commercial versions of the cluster software, and make clusters more broadly acceptable.

National Association of Broadcasters has started investing directly in tech startups
"Without fanfare, the National Association of Broadcasters has rebranded and expanded a small in-house technology development program. Also, kicking the disrupt-yourself stakes up a notch, it has taken direct early-stage investment positions in three companies over the last year...
And perhaps more important, in an industry as entrenched in rigid news formats as print newspapers ever were, companies can see the case for letting startup ventures do the disrupting rather than trying to develop such products on their own.
Sam Matheny, NAB's chief technology officer, told me in a phone interview that the other two investments have been in Antenna, a content engagement company that harvests information on how users interact with mobile and Web content, and Yet Analytics, which specializes in multi-source data collection."

It was a bold (although, for Hollywood, not unexpected)move to cast "name" performers not known for their singing, in a musical famous for its near-operatic structure and score. Yes,I know that Hugh Jackman won a Tony on Broadway, but having a voice that is basically competent for musical theatre does not necessarily mean you are a wonderful singer. Analysis after the movie caused us to conclude that the main reason that most reviewers tended to find Jackman good in the role of Jean Valjean, while criticizing Russell Crowe as Javert, is that Jackman has an expressive face that allows him to "sell" his songs (particularly with the aid of the close-up), whereas Crowe's beefy visage just looks stolid, even when singing his big final number. Or, as Georgie put it, "Both men can act, and both can sing. Jackman can act and sing at the same time, and Crowe can't." In my opinion, both were adequate singers but neither great. The role of Valjean is near the top of Jackman's range, such that he is near falsetto quite often, which causes him to lack flexibility and intensity, which is a shortcoming particularly in Valjean's signature song, "Bring Him Home" ("Hear my prayer--"). Crowe also has a high voice which doesn't sit well with the part of Javert, usually a baritone, so he also lacks the growling power called for in the role.
The best singing in the movie belongs to the women, with first place going to Anne Hathaway in the role of Fantine. Her "I Dreamed a Dream" is as touching as any I have heard. A close second is "On My Own," Eponine's song of unrequited love, as sung by Samantha Barks (who is actually a veteran of the stage version).
Ensemble where present is very good, and the company appropriately stirring on anthems such as "Red and Black," and "Do You Hear the People Sing?"
Digital sound is obviously an advantage and allowed the immediacy of the actors being recorded on the sets as shot, rather than dubbed later. I predict there will be an Oscar for sound engineering for this accomplishment. Also, the actors that have the ability can use a wider range of dynamics and expression than if they had to fill a 2000-seat auditorium with their voices.
Unfortunately, Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter are jarringly bizarre as the larcenous Thenarediers, which is more a problem of the production and the direction than the actors (Bonham Carter's actual performance is actually rather understated). They are SO overblown caricatures of untrustworthiness no one in his right mind would have come near them, let alone enter the den of thieves they are calling an inn. The choreography for "Master of the House," which shows them fleecing patrons of everything from eyeglasses to glass eyes, would have had the gendarmerie down on them in seconds. The couple is intended to be the comic relief in the musical, but this version went way over the top.
Production values are very high, and I think Victor Hugo would have approved of the vizualization of Valjean's factory, the harrowing tale of Fantine's desperation and degradation, and the dirty and scrofulous-looking poor. Costumes look well and period-appropriate, and settings were mostly interesting and believable. A notable exception is the opening sequence, which shows Valjean and hundreds of other convicts deployed with hawsers, hand-towing a listing ship into an open drydock. A DRY drydock, which is nevertheless OPEN to the stormy sea! Whomever came up with this concept obviously has no idea how a drydock works. As it was, the scene had me saying "What?". Fortunately the effect soon wore off.
Verdict: well worth seeing for the acting and the spectacle. Then, go find "2010 Les Misérables in Concert: The 25th Anniversary" on DVD and hear the singing as it should be heard.

For many years this resonance frequency has hovered at a steady 7.83 Hz with only slight variations. In June 2014 that apparently changed. Monitors at the Russian Space Observing System showed a sudden spike in activity to around 8.5 Hz. Since then, they have
recorded days where the Schumann accelerated as fast as 16.5 Hz. (The graph is usually blue with some green, and no white.) At first they thought their equipment was malfunctioning, but later learned the data was accurate. Everyone was asking, what's causing this intermittent spiking activity?

Despite some typically cautious warnings that the current growth cycle may be nearing a peak, industry-wide freight tonne kilometer (FTK) growth is at its strongest pace since 2010 and global business and consumer confidence levels point to solid improvement at least through the third quarter, IATA said in its Q3 2017 "Cargo Chartbook."
According to the organization, freight traffic in all major international markets is growing at around 10 to 15 percent, year-over-year, and "airline heads of cargo remain positive about the outlook over the year ahead."
World trade finally began to improve during the first half, with volumes growing 4.1 percent, y-o-y, with support from emerging markets for the strongest first half since 2011. Meanwhile, overall confidence in the economy has also tracked upward, with consumer confidence driving strong consumer spending and increased demand for airfreight. Globally, higher demand led to FTK growth of 11.8 percent for the second quarter, which accelerated, compared with the first quarter.
North America was the primary contributor to growth during Q2 of 2017, as airlines across the continent saw their share of global FTKs rise sharply, y-o-y. Asia-Pacific and European airlines also made sizeable contributions to growth in 2017, but those regions' contributions to global growth were largely stable between the first and second quarters. In terms of cargo throughput, Asia-Pacific airports saw the strongest growth numbers early in the third quarter, particularly the Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong airports. Los Angeles International Airport also reported strong growth, while the Middle East – particularly Abu Dhabi, which declined 5.9 percent y-o-y in June – lost out in terms of growth as other regions compete for market share.
While the airfreight market has had a great year so far, participants may be wondering how long the growth numbers reported over the past few months can be sustained. IATA has insisted for months that market signals – particularly the flattening inventory-to-sales ratio – indicate that the steady increase in y-o-y FTK growth is approaching a peak. However, that caution is not reflected in the larger market, as IATA notes that "business surveys remain consistent with solid annual FTK growth of around 7.5 percent in Q3 2017."

text: airborneguy44 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi all, I recently acquired a FS FB helmet not long ago that I am planning on presenting to a WWII vet. I have a picture of the vet in theater with his helmet (net and all). I have the same type of net (1/4in) that he has in the picture and plan to install it. However, the shell itself was sandblasted and has no trace of original paint. I'm trying to give the shell the "been there done that" look. I don't want to use an OD spray that gives it an un-issued look. I was curious of anyone knew of any OD paints that are a darker shade of OD or any mixes that I could use to give this desired look. Thanks! (Note: In no way, shape, or form am I trying to use this to pass off helmets as originals. I am strictly trying to surprise a vet with a helmet. This is a one time thing) Link to post Share on other sites

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine as one of the safest and most effective medicines for hundreds of modern disease. Sustain Community Acupuncture has successfully treated thousands of patients and specializes in fertility and pain management.
Treating Acute and Chronic Pain with Acupuncture
If you suffer from physical pain, you are not alone. In fact, a national survey found that more than one-quarter of American adults had recently experienced some sort of pain lasting more than a day! Rather than seeking over the counter or prescription medications, acupuncture is a safe way to reduce or eliminate pain without drugs or invasive procedures.
Acupuncture for Reproductive Health & Fertility
For centuries, acupuncture has been used to successfully treat a number of gynecological conditions, restore fertility and maintain health during pregnancy. For example, acupuncture and herbs are commonly used to treat infertility by increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and restoring their normal function, as well as balancing the hormones.
Cosmetic Acupuncture and Facial Rejuvination
Cosmetic Acupuncture, also known as an Acupuncture Facelift is a gentle yet highly effective alternative to cosmetic surgery, botox, collagen or other filler injections and chemical peels.
Stress & Lifestyle Management
Leave your stress behind!
Are you stressed out? Do you have trouble sleeping, experience depression, mood swings or just feel 'stuck'? You are not alone, as the modern fast-paced life pushes more and more people towards stress, anxiety and depression, acupuncture helps millions each year find a managable balance in their lives.
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome and autoimmune conditions are two sets of conditions that, if ignored, may lead to serious consequences. In case of metabolic syndrome, is a combination of the medical disorders that, when occurring together, increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Some studies have shown the prevalence in the USA to be an estimated 25% of the population, with the chances increasing with age. Metabolic syndrome's contributing factors are obesity, stress, sedentary lifestyle, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, anxiety, depression and rheumatic diseases.
