Why Do Snipers Need A Spotter?
Normally, the most experienced sniper is the spotter and is responsible for identifying targets and directing the shooter’s rounds onto the target.
The spotter identifies the target, the distance, and tells the shooter what adjustments for elevation or wind he should make.
Picture of the Day
Mesut Hancer holds the hand of his 15-year-old daughter, Irmak, who died in the earthquake in the Turkish province of Kahramanmaras, close to the earthquake’s epicentre.
On Tuesday, AFP’s Adem Atlan photographed father Mesut Hancer holding the hand of his daughter Irmak, 15, after she died beneath rubble in Kahramanmaras, near the earthquake’s epicenter. The girl’s hand can be seen stretched out from underneath concrete slabs that collapsed on top of her during the fatal quake.
His daughter, Irmak, was dead. But he refused to let her go, caressing the fingers peeking out from a mattress the girl was asleep on when the first pre-dawn tremor struck on Monday.
“Take pictures of my child,” Mr Hancer called in a low, trembling voice.
The father wanted the world to see his — and his nation’s — grief. And it did.

What’s It Like For A Stunningly Beautiful Woman To Turn Old?
I was very, very hot.
Now I’m 61. I’m not hot. I’ve had two babies. I’ve been sleep deprived most of my life. My hair is a mess (possible Asperger’s symptom). I have never been married, legally. Funny, because I used to wonder how all those girls around me were ever going to find husbands, looking like that.
In high school, someone started a rumor I was on the cover of Seventeen. The freshman girls began to follow me around, giggling. They were so excited. This went on for months. I could see them admiring me from across the cafeteria, or down the hall. They’d stop, to worship. At last, one nervously came up to ask me about it. I told her: I was a model, but not in Seventeen.

“I need to have someone who loves me before I will feel better about myself.”
It’s hard to tell someone in quicksand to stop flailing to get out. Loneliness and sadness can make happily ever after sound very tempting regardless of where it comes from.
