| Make your holiday home videos shine
Think about all the bad photos or videos you've seen with a tiny person in the bottom of the frame and a bunch of empty space above her. "Look at how different objects are relating within the frame," Chiles says. Film under even lighting. Filming on a cloudy day or at sunset is better than filming under direct sunlight. Don't film people standing in front of a window: They'll fade into the shadows. "If you're going to be shooting a lot in low light, you might consider buying some kind of a video light," Chiles says. To keep the light from being too bright on your subjects, buy a diffuser to put over the bulb or make your own with a pair of pantyhose. Give your subjects space. Chiles recommends at least 4 feet of distance. "It allows them not to feel like you're up in their face." If a person is feeling awkward in front of the camera, Chiles will shoot in another direction and then wait until her subject is not paying attention to her to film him.

Gopal Balakrishnan: An englobing, plebiscitary logic 2006 will provide a few occasions to assess the true extent of American power and the resilience of the international ranking system of power and wealth on which it stands. What explains the catastrophic strategic miscalculations that led to the debacle in Iraq? All the main trends of the previous decade seemed to point to the dawning of another American Century: ever-widening spheres of geopolitical action, a new wave of technological dynamism powered by financial markets, and the steady advance of the liberal-democratic mission civilisatrice.
Chemists set to give 'sickie' medical certificates
Chemists will be able to charge whatever fee they like for the service but the guidelines do advise the certificates be issued for only a short period of time. The move came as a survey revealed patients are asking time-pressured GPs to write out twice as many medical certificates as a decade ago, apparently to meet employers' demands. Patients made 800,000 more requests for "administration procedures" - most often medical certificates - in 2006-07 compared to 1998-99. About one in 60 patients visit a doctor to get a certificate.
