Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal will unleash his 10th solo album 'Little Brother is Watching' on Feb. 24. Thal wrote, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered the album at his New Jersey studio. Check out a video about the making of the album below. You can listen to the title track above, courtesy of Yahoo Music.
The record's sound is described as "an eccentric, upbeat collection of modern epic rock with haunting melodies, huge choruses and witty lyrics about life in the digital age and beyond."
Thal issued a statement saying, "Art of Anarchy is not competition or a threat or interference to what any of us are doing — it's a complement, an addition, one I'm proud of creatively. No need to minimize or undermine or devalue a project we all worked on together over the course of two years. I enjoyed working with Scott. And I'm looking forward to the Wildabouts album release, the Bumblefoot album release, and the Art of Anarchy album release. The more music the better, it's what we do, right?"


[HIVE] at Untitled is our newest concept that reinforces our fervent dedication to being a conduit between local artists and a community that desires to incorporate aesthetic design in everyday life.
The revolving hand-crafted objects in this retail space symbolizes a community of individuals working separately, but towards one collective goal; a space filled with unlimited imagination allowing you to surround yourself with beauty, design and function.
The current exhibition showcases some Bees of the [HIVE] who have expanded their craft by creating elaborate installations, or larger works. Our hope is that these artists inspire current and future [HIVE] artists to explore different possibilities by removing any limitations which were self-imposed. By pairing both works in one setting, art inspires artist - and creates a world without boundaries.
The [HIVE] is a movement, which is symbolized by multiple flight-inspired installations. The numerous mediums used to create the artwork in the exhibition provide a wonderful juxtaposition with each other: the use of mundane objects to create something magical alongside luxurious metals transformed to look decayed. The beauty of the [HIVE] lies within the variety and uniqueness of the bees who made it a reality.


Q: Is ThisIsMS a blog?
A: No. ThisIsMS is a discussion forum. Blogs are tools that facilitate one way communication. People share their knowledge or express their opinion which others can then read and post comments. In contrast, discussion forums such as ThisIsMS are more dynamic and facilitate two way communication allowing for online conversations.
Q: Why doesn't the URL I put into my message work?
Note that sometimes a URL contains some peculiar characters, such as an exclamation point, parenthesis, or an apostrophe, which breaks the URL and causes the forum's software to truncate it rendering it inoperative. In this instance, embedding the URL with BBCode into the message text will not help but using the tinyurl or snipurl option usually will fix it.
There is an alternative to shortening the URL with tinyurl or snipurl. The url breaks at these characters because the character is being misinterpreted by the browser. The work-around is to encode the character using it's hexadecimal equivalent.
The URL will break at the parentheses symbols. Replacing the parentheses symbols with their hex code from the table below will fix the URL and prevent it from breaking. In this case, %29 for ).
Notice now when you move your mouse cursor over the URL above that the correct URL with the parentheses symbols is displayed in your browser's status bar.
The URL can now be encoded using BBCode which is helpful for long URLs.
Note: You may find that linking to an image does not work. It could be due to the presence of one of the special characters in the image's URL. Encoding the character should fix the broken image link.
Note: This problem no longer appears to be an issue following the January 2019 upgrade of the forum's software.
A: ThisIsMS is a MS discussion forum with a worldwide audience. The purpose of ThisIsMS is to facilitate communication between MS patients, their caregivers and other individuals, such as doctors and researchers, with an interest in MS. The goal of ThisIsMS is to provide helpful information to those who need it so that by working together we can solve our common problems.
Q: What is not ThisIsMS?
A: ThisIsMS does not exist to be any particular individual's soapbox from which to conduct a battle. It is not a sporting arena. Flame wars and other antagonistic behavior will not be tolerated. There are other newsgroups and forums where such activity is acceptable. However, it will not be tolerated at ThisIsMS. Where appropriate, as deemed by the forum administrator and the forum moderators, a single warning will be issued and accounts will be closed without prior notice upon continuation of such activity.
Q: I've noticed many articles either linked to or posted, either in part or in their entirety, to the forums. What is ThisIsMS's policy regarding this activity.
All logos and trademarks in this site are property of their respective owners. The comments are property of their posters, quoted articles are © referenced source, all the rest © 2002-2010 by thisisMS.com.
In another FAQ I discussed the basics of posting pictures to the forum. As a follow-up, here are a couple of links to review sites which discuss some of the image hosting sites that are available.
Imgur is another easy to use image hosting site.
Q: Why did my post disappear?
A: One possible reason is that the post may have been an inadvertent reply to a spam posting. Once the spam posting is removed, the reply may be so out of context that it loses meaning and will be removed along with the spam posting.
Q: Why does my avatar image appear distorted?
A: In the Edit Avatar control panel, there is a new option to specify the dimensions of the avatar image in pixels. The default value for these fields is 125 pixels which is the maximum allowable size for the avatar image. However, if you are using a custom avatar and it differs in size from these values, then it will appear distorted as the avatar will likely be resized. There are two possible corrections for this problem. The first option is to set the value for these fields to the actual dimensions of your avatar image. The other option is to delete the values and leave the fields blank. The forum software will then attempt to determine the correct values on its own. If the image is larger than 125 pixels, then you will need to enter the correct numbers maintaining the proportions of the image so that 125 is the maximum dimension. Another option is to resize the image with image editing software and upload it to an image hosting site and then enter the image's URL into the avatar control panel.
Q: Why do I keep getting logged out when using ThisIsMS?
A: The site may time out after a certain period of inactivity and automatically log you out of your current session. To prevent this from happening, select the check box for "Log me on automatically each visit" when you login. This will keep your session from timing out. If you don't actually wish to be logged in automatically from a particular computer, then you can delete the cookies from thisisms.com after you logout.
Important: If you use this option, then you should make certain that you logout of the site when you're done. Otherwise, anyone who restarts your browser may be logged in automatically. Note that in Mozilla Firefox you can set cookies to expire when the browser is closed and this should fix the automatically logged in problem. Internet Explorer, or other browsers, may have a similar option. For security, it's best to verify the behavior of your browser.
Q: I've been seeing some ads that are inappropriate for this site. Is there something that can be done about this?
A: Google serves ads based on each user's internet history that Google has assembled as well as the content of a particular web page. We do not have control over which specific ads are displayed. If you start seeing ads which you deem inappropriate, then you can delete your browser's cookies and reload the page. The objectionable ads should no longer be displayed. Note: deleting all cookies will require you to log back onto the site so do not do this if you're in the middle of composing a message without first saving it.
Q: I tried to setup an account, but found that it had been deleted. Why did this happen?
A: Inactive accounts may be removed after 15 days. To prevent your new account from being removed, be sure to activate it by clicking on the link in the account activation email you received.
Q: Why don't the URLs I copied from another post work?
A: Long URLs, i.e., longer than 55 characters, are automatically shortened by the forum software.
Note the ellipsis and the surrounding spaces that have been inserted into the URL.
Copying and pasting this shortened URL text into a new message will not work. They will show up in your new post as follows (note the cut-off portion of the link which is now inactive).
To solve this problem, right click on the URL you wish to copy and select "Copy Link Location" or whatever similar option your browser provides. The complete URL can now be pasted into your message.
Alternatively, if this is one of your own posts to the forum, then you can select "Edit" and then copy the URL from the editing screen and paste it into your new message.
Q: Are there special formatting options for posts?
A: Yes. Several new options have been recently added in addition to those already listed in the BBCode FAQ. These are discussed below.
This aligns text on a new line using one of the above four parameters, left, center, right and justify. Note, the [align=] BBCode tag can also be combined with other BBCode tags such as the [img] tag.
This is a line of centered text.
This inserts a line break. It's useful for when you want to bump the top line of a post down. Otherwise, initial line breaks, as well as spaces, are ignored by the forum software.
The line break is also useful for inserting breaks between items in a bulleted list. Without the line break tag, regular line breaks inserted with the enter key are ignored.
Left aligns an image and wraps text around the image.
Ion channel isotypes, in general, allow for each isotype to have different functional properties that are appropriate to the function of its host cell. For example, isotypes may be differentially sensitive to intracellular modulators, i.e., signaling molecules, that allow cells to modify the properties of specific channels selectively in response to physiological effectors. However, some isotypes show no observable significant functional difference. The expression of the different isotypes can be developmentally regulated or in response to a physiological stimulus. This differential expression is controlled by DNA regulatory sequences which are typically upstream of the open reading frame coding for the channel. In addition, the sequences (peptide or nucleic acid) for different channel isotypes may encode information which can be used by the cell, e.g., the golgi and its related vesicular transport mechanisms, to target the channel protein to different discrete locations within the cell.
Right aligns an image and wraps text around the image.
Note: This example also uses the [ align=justify ] BBCode.
Resizes an image to a percentage of the browser window (or column) width. The image will resize dynamically as the browser window width is changed. This BBCode is useful to resize large images to better fit into the forum layout. Replace 'x' with the percentage of the column width to resize the image to. For example, x is set to 50 for the image below. It is not necessary to use the % symbol in the syntax.
Example: An image resized to 50% of the browser window (or column) width.
Formats text with a monospaced font, such as Courier, which is useful for when you wish to line up columns of text as in a table. Note that it's helpful to preview your post before submitting it in order to be certain that the text lines up as you wish.
Example: Citric acid is H3C6H5O7 while magnesium citrate is Mg3(C6H5O7)2.
Note that subscript text can also be useful for adding footnotes 1 to your post.
Example: Vitamin E has three chiral centers each of which can exist in one of two possible configurations. Therefore, synthetic vitamin E will have eight, 23=8, isomers, also known as enantiomers, which will be present in equal concentrations. Natural vitamin E (RRR-alphatocopherol) will only exist as 1/8, or 12.5%, of the total vitamin E in synthetic vitamin E 2.
2. Note that the one eighth fraction in the above example uses a combination of superscript and subscript.
Q: I've noticed that many abbreviations are frequently used in the forums. Is there someplace I can look them up?
A: Yes. Here's a list of commonly used abbreviations at ThisIsMS. Note: If there's something I've missed, send me a PM and let me know and I'll add it.
TSQM: Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication.
Q: What do all of those different icons next to forums and topics mean?
A: The forum software uses various icons to indicate the status of the different forums and topics.
Note: Topic icons with a red star indicate topics which contain at least one of your posts.
A: The registration page was recently modified. Hopefully, these links will get put back on that page.

Speechless Kukuk Wins Longines Global Champions Tour of Rome As Maher & Ahlmann Go Head to Head in Championship Race
Rome was a game changer for the 2022 Championship race!
In a thrilling finish to the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Rome, Christian Kukuk aboard his impressive stallion Mumbai finished top of the podium and earnt his golden ticket to the LGCT Super Grand Prix this November at the GC Prague Playoffs.
With a blistering time of 42.68 seconds, Kukuk finished ahead of two-time LGCT Champion Ben Maher on Faltic HB who posted an impressive 43.35 seconds. Rounding off the podium was the winner of the LGCT Grand Prix of Paris, Marlon Zanotelli and Like a Diamond van het Schaeck in a time of 43.62 seconds showing just how close it was.
Another chapter of the Longines Global Champions Tour was written in Rome with an exhilarating jump-off with 12 of the 34 starters qualifying for the second round. Commenting on his win, Kukuk said: "It means everything to me. I have put enormous effort into this sport and all the horses, especially Mumbai over the last 10 years, since I started at Ludger's and I always dream about winning one of these (Longines) Global Champions Tour Grand Prix's."
I am so so happy in this moment, I really can not believe it. I can't find the words and I am also a little bit shaky, but it's just amazing. I just realised that the breeder of Mumbai is here and it is her birthday – I mean I think the day was just made for us."
Ben Maher's silver medal in Rome has catapulted him self closer to Christian Ahlmann (238 points) who now only has a 6-point lead in the edge-of-you-steat championship battle. Heading into the last two stages of the season Pieter Devos is still in contention with 221 points so it is all to play for in New York (23 - 25 September) and the Final in Riyadh (21 - 23 October).
Smiling as he found out he also secured his place in the elite LGCT Super Grand Prix Kukuk said: "My groom has always said - 'I want to win one of these Grand Prix and I want to be in Prague for the Super Grand Prix', and I said I will try my best and today it worked out for us. It means a lot to us."
Every year I always love to come to Rome, you always have the feeling that the people really enjoy our sport here – they're really with the riders and with the rounds – you can feel the emotions it's just such a beautiful event."
With an unbelievably close jump-off, all eight double clear riders were all within 2.88 seconds of each other, giving the crowd a nail-biting finish to an epic day of top sport in one of the most iconic locations in the world. Circus Maximus, in the heart of ancient Rome yet again plays host to the Longines Global Champions Tour of Italy, with horses again in the incredible historical location for the second time in over 2000 years.
As the first rider out into the jump-off, Great Britain's young gun Jodie Hall McAteer showed us what she is made of with a strong clear round and quick time of 45.11 seconds, and ultimately finishing seventh, just 2.43 seconds behind the leading pair and some of the biggest names in show jumping.
Winner of the recent LGCT Grand Prix of London, Pieter Devos and Mom's Toupie de la Roque finished an impressive fifth, making light work of the courses set by Italian course designer Uliano Vezzani on his home turf. With the ultra-careful Longines branded double combination across the centre of the arena and a rollback to a big red oxer in front of the VIP, riders had to throw caution to the wind to be in with a chance of finishing in podium position.
There was disappointment for Peder Fredricson who still hasn't qualified for the LGCT Super Grand Prix yet as he had one down with H&M Christian K. World number one Henrik von Eckermann aboard pocket rocket Iliana finished just outside of podium position with a time of 44.20 seconds, thrilling the crowd. Using his mare's natural pace, Eckermann saw a rolling stride down to the final fence and ultimately finished 1.52 behind the leader.
But it was last to go Daniel Deusser and the lightning-fast stallion Scuderia 1918 Tobago Z who handed his German compatriot the win when his risk to the roll back didn't pay off adding 4 faults to their score.
As the curtain falls on day two of the Longines Global Champions tour of Rome, riders and spectators around the world look ahead to another day of top sport in an iconic location, the Circus Maximus.


For some sad reason my photos won't upload. I might need to do these blogs when I return to America because my heart desire is to share the whole effect of what God is doing here at Kirabo Seeds. The children are growing up to be such well behaved, thoughtful, curious children.
I'll share a little summary of what is happening and write full stories when I return to the states.
Kira lost a tooth eating sugar cane and is concerned there isn't an African tooth fairy or that she doesn't have a plane to get her from Texas over here, and she wonders if she is a chocolate fairy or a vanilla one…she does enjoy having so much chocolate company here and notices that I'm more lonely as a vanilla person in Uganda…this is a topic that is on her mind a lot these days…we remain open and easy going about it as she sorts it all out.
Time to have a discussion AGAIN about the ineptitude of this tooth fairy.
Thanks for all your prayers and support and love to the children in Uganda. I'll update again in a few days and definitely write the stories when my internet blues are over.

Jun 2 2017 | Gordon Johnston
HJS – supporting Wessex Heartbeat in its 25th Anniversary year
HJS Solutions was proud to sponsor the Wessex Heartbeat golf day, which took place in May at the prestigious Remedy Oak Golf Club in Dorset.
Formed in 1992, Wessex Heartbeat is a registered charity with a driving ambition to help achieve the very best care for people with heart conditions, treated in the Wessex Cardiac Centre at Southampton General Hospital – one of the foremost cardiac centres in the UK and internationally.
Over the last 25 years, the charity has raised almost £16 million to fund projects such as the creation of Heartbeat House, the children's Ocean Ward and the Heartbeat Education Centre. This is in addition to the regular funding of leading-edge equipment, clinical education and research.
Wessex Heartbeat chief executive John Munro, said: "We may be celebrating our 25th anniversary, but there will be no let-up in our fundraising for the 40,000 patients treated at the cardiac centre each year and that is why we are so very grateful to HJS Solutions for their help and support."
HJS Solutions Group CEO Gordon Johnston said "We at HJS are proud to support Wessex Heartbeat during this special year and to be involved in this prestigious golf day on such an impressive course is a great privilege."

In order to determine the factors that influence a successful online business, one needs to understand the context of both marketing and branding in the field of tobacco industry. Most online sellers focus on brand, because they know the importance of a name when it comes to smoking. Bond cigarettes are no exception to this rule. On the contrary: you will seldom find real, detailed presentations of the aroma and taste of Bond cigarettes.
Determine the best online offers in your area. It's important to stick to retailers close to you in order to pay less for shipping. At this stage, ten such retailers should suffice.
Narrow this list by comparing the final costs per cigarette or pack. Stick to five retailers.
Contact them and check if they don't happen to have a special offer you can benefit from. These offers are either related to a particular date in the calendar or to the number of packs you're willing to purchase.
Check if the seller has a legal business. The easiest way to do this is to contact them and ask very specific and direct questions about their business: Where they take the cigarettes? For how long are in an online business?, etc.. If they avoid answering or, even worse, refuse to answer, avoid them at all costs.
Double check the shipping terms and make sure they suit your needs.
Purchasing Bond cigarettes online can be a very lucrative business if you establish a relation based on trust. If you keep buying from the same retailers, at some point they will be able to offer you a discount that will reduce your total costs even more.

Eawag spin-off focuses on tests without animal experiments
June 13, 2017,
Organisation & Staff
Environmental toxicologists at Eawag have developed new methods to allow tests on new chemicals to be carried out without the need for animal experiments. In place of the conventional experiments using adult fish, the team is now working with fish cells and fish embryos. These alternative methods have numerous advantages, and are seeing increasing demand in industry. This has given rise to an Eawag spin-off. We spoke to its founders.
Why are alternative test methods needed?
Kristin Schirmer: In order for new chemicals to be approved or their presence in wastewater to be analysed, these have to be tested to ascertain whether the substances or water samples present any environmental risks. Tests using algae or water fleas are used for this purpose, but to test the effects on vertebrates, experiments are normally carried out on live fish. Millions of fish die every year for this cause, with the "acute fish toxicity test" enabling government authorities and chemical manufacturers to ascertain at what concentrations of a newly developed product – such as pesticides or additives used in industry – fish die after having been exposed to the chemical in question for 96 hours. The results of these tests are important, but the method used to achieve them is ethically questionable. We want to make a contribution in this controversial area, and develop toxicology further. The approach we use is to work with fish cells and embryos instead of adult fish.
Melanie Knöbel: There is growing demand for fish testing, as the requirements for environmental risk assessments are increasing on the one hand, while the number of new chemicals and products is also continually growing. Alternative methods are therefore desirable as well as worthwhile exploring from a commercial perspective. Our method also enables us to work with our clients even during the product development stage, which in turn helps to avoid a situation where an end product contains hazardous substances.
Stephan Fischer: With the conventional tests, it was always the easily observable effects that were recorded as the result – such as the death or survival of the fish. This does not allow us to understand how these effects are caused. If we are to understand chemical effects more thoroughly, they need to be investigated at earlier stages. We are able to do this with alternative test systems. We can, for instance, identify molecular or biochemical changes in fish cells, or observe changes in the heartbeat or behaviour of fish embryos. This way, we can come up with much more detailed pronouncements than simply "dead or alive".
How do these alternative test methods work?
Kristin Schirmer: We are able to isolate cells from fish and multiply these in the laboratory to an almost unlimited extent. Such a cell culture is known as a cell line. We can carry out tests using these cell lines and thereby avoid even one single fish having to suffer or die. Instead of the "acute fish toxicity tests", for example, we use a cell line that was originally derived from the gill cells of a rainbow trout by Canadian colleagues 20 years ago. We expose these cells to the chemicals, and after 24 hours we can already see the effects by looking at the number of cells that are still living. Through our research, we have been able to show that the effective concentrations of chemicals derived from these results agree very reliably with the results from the "acute fish toxicity test".
The fish cell lines also allow us to study phenomena in isolation, such as the ways in which chemicals activate enzymes that result in detoxification. If we want to analyse the effects on the whole organism, we work with fertilised zebrafish eggs. Experiments at such early stages of a fish's life – up to 120 hours old – are not deemed to be animal experiments according to European law, as the nervous system of the organism is still underdeveloped. We can thus observe how a whole, developing organism reacts when exposed to a certain chemical. This provides us with more toxicological information about the tested substance and its effects than the conventional test method would. For example, we can measure the activities of transporters that normally transport substances out of the organism but are hindered from carrying out their work by chemicals. Or we can analyse the effects on the cardiovascular system. Thanks to the transparency of embryos, this can be examined in detail using imaging techniques.
Do alternative methods have other advantages aside from removing the need for animal experiments?
Melanie Knöbel: The alternative test methods are often faster – for example, 24 hours for fish cells as opposed to 96 hours for the "acute fish toxicity test", and they require less of the substance being tested, as well as less space in the laboratory. This means that considerably more substances can be tested at the same time or within a shorter time frame. In addition, thanks to the range of analyses, we can develop predictive models and advise clients on which type of test method is best suited to their products. The conventional tests are very rigid and do not leave much room for manoeuvre.
At the end of last year, you founded the Eawag spin-off, Aquatox-Solutions. How did this development come about?
Stephan Fischer: We are currently the only ones across the whole of Switzerland who are working with fish cell lines. And even tests with fish embryos are not very widely available. For these reasons, we were receiving an increasing number of requests from outside Eawag to carry out tests using these alternative methods. As Eawag does not operate on a commercial basis, we founded the company with the help of Eawag, which gives us a huge amount of support. Over the next five years, we will have the Eawag infrastructure and laboratories at our disposal in return for rent and charges. This provides us with the requisite conditions for developing and establishing ourselves on the market.
Kristin Schirmer: It's a win-win situation, as we continue the research into alternative methods to replace animal experiments at Eawag. So, we are establishing the fundamentals as environmental toxicologists at Eawag, while everything that is already scientifically established and being applied in practice in this context can be offered through Aquatox-Solutions. Our company is, if you like, the interface between research and practice for alternative test methods. It is important that we also work in partnership with the Ecotox Centre based at Eawag and the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). The Ecotox Centre also acts as an interface between research and practice, albeit with a focus on other areas.
What are the current challenges that you are working on?
Kristin Schirmer: Within Eawag we are continuing to work intensively on fundamental research for environmental toxicology. For example, there are always new chemicals that cannot be investigated using the conventional fish test or the alternative methods. We are looking into these problems to find out why this is the case and to develop alternatives. With regard to cell lines and computer models, we are undertaking research into being able to predict the extent to which chemicals accumulate in fish or whether fish growth is affected by chemicals.
Melanie Knöbel: There are also challenges for our company that lie outside the realm of research into chemicals or environmental sampling. The day-to-day operations as well as the whole market presence of our spin-off is new territory for us as scientists. We obtain valuable input from attending business courses and coaching at ETH Zurich.
Have you had any initial successes?
Stephan Fischer: Right after we launched, we secured a very large industrial project. Using a Fish Embryo Toxicity (FET) test, we provide support for investigations analysing chemical effects at the molecular level. We also have another exciting contract in the pipeline. We are close to achieving our most important goal for the first year, which was to acquire a certain volume of client contracts.
What other targets have you set yourselves?
Stephan Fischer: By the end of the year, we want to submit a project proposal to the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI). The aim is to develop a widely applicable set of tests for various chemical effects, and to make them practicable. Once we have developed these, we hope to win new clients and expand our portfolio. When we have a solid base of contracts, we would like to take on more colleagues to work with us in the laboratory.
Melanie Knöbel: The continued development of our range of products is a major target for us. The main focus here is on developing flexible test and analysis strategies that are optimally tailored to a client's particular issues, and that fully exploit the potential for alternative methods.
Kristin Schirmer: In the medium term, we hope to establish a stable base of contracts so that we can stand on our own two feet – with our own laboratory and a larger number of colleagues.
Aquatox-Solutions GmbH
Researchers, government bodies and industry have long been searching for new ways to avoid animal experimentation. A team of researchers, led by Eawag in collaboration with ETH Zurich and ETH Lausanne as well as colleagues from abroad, have developed new strategies in this field. This resulted in three Eawag colleagues setting up the spin-off "aQuaTox-Solutions" in November 2016, based in the municipality of Wallisellen, in order to offer the solutions that have been developed for practical application.

Prof Dr Kristin Schirmer, Head of the department of Environmental Toxicology at Eawag. Pioneering work with fish cell lines and investigations using fish embryos; works with the spin-off in an advisory capacity alongside her main position.
The focus of Aquatox-Solutions is on toxicological test methods using fish cells and embryos to analyse the effects on the environment of a vast range of chemicals and products. Another business area of the spin-off is the monitoring of water quality in surface water bodies and waste water. The fledgling company focuses on, among other things, the analysis of the regulation of various genes from fish tissue samples, and, here too, on cell line and embryo tests.

So, you're keen to get involved with photography? Well, now is a good a period as any high-power digital camera models have never been less expensive. You almost certainly have a great deal of questions on how to start and what to do, but don't worry, this post may help. Listed below are some pointers that may help you begin with your photography aspirations.
To produce photographic images that resemble paintings lightning, try getting your photos printed onto matte or semi-gloss papers, then painting them yourself with photographic oils or pastels. These materials might be gathered at the most art supply stores and many camera shops. Typically the most popular paints are made by Marshall's and are created specifically for use on photographs.
Be mindful of your framing of your own subject. What this implies will vary by subject. For example, in case you are getting a picture of a single person, getting a close shot in which the subject fills the frame is your best option, since info is important. On the flip side, a landscape shot might reap the benefits of being further away, as you get the whole scene this way.
Use manual white balance to add spice to your photos. It is actually possible to permit the camera decide the right white balance for the given environment, but sometimes the camera can get it wrong and also the photo will look washed out. Utilizing a manual white balance also lets you take artsy photos with sepia tones, as an illustration.
Focus on natural lighting. You may want to use your flash feature or install additional sources of light, but you may use natural lighting to create interesting effects with light and shadow. Position your subject accordingly. Make sure the photograph is just not too dark or too bright.
To make photos look more distinctive, play somewhat with with perspective, scale, and expectations. Use the simplest of objects, and place it inside an unusual spot for an amusing photo, or have fun with the perspective in the picture to create the object seem much larger than it is actually. Practice altering your composition in order to see familiar objects within a new way.
Prior to taking that picture, make sure it would reveal the very best within your subject! Get a sense of the backgrounds of all of your shots. Be aware of things in close proximity and also in the space. Also, use that eye of yours to discover how color will contrast with the topic of your photo. In case the background subject don't mesh well, you should find another spot!
If you are planning to adopt photos in the new country go right to the postcard rack. Postcards will help you gain new ideas of the scenery that is unique to the country that you are in. Utilize these photos as concepts for the spots you want to visit.
Many times in everyday life, we receive the training that things should be centered and even.

PDP Speaks On Collecting Money To Give Obaseki Edo State Governorship Ticket
Oladipo Abiola
The National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied collecting money or making any monetary demand to give Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki the party's 2020 gubernatorial ticket.
The party's national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan made the denial on Wednesday during the valedictory session for the outgoing National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
Olgbondiyan added that Obaseki owed them a responsibility to make it known to the public that no monetary exchange or promise took place before he got the ticket.
Naija News recalls Obaseki belonged to the All Progressives Congress (APC) but was disqualified by the screening committee from contesting the party's primary election, prompting him to decamp to the PDP a few months to the scheduled guber election in the state going ahead to get the PDP ticket under which platform he ran and won the 2020 Edo governorship election.
The development however sparked speculations that there had been a heavy exchange of cash between the Governor and party leaders.
However, Ologbondiyan has denied any financial gratification was involved in the process.
He said: "Let me state without mincing words that the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, owes the members of this NWC the responsibility of clearing our names before the public.
"I will like to place on record that this NWC did not demand for any form of gratification from Obaseki before he got the ticket of our party.
"It is also important to restate that this NWC did not demand for any form of 'tax' from Governor Obaseki neither did we collect same. He, therefore, owes it a duty to clear our names."
Speaking further on the achievements of the outgoing NWC, the PDP spokesperson said they put a stop to money politics for positions in the party, repositioned for election winning, and massively embarked on reconciliatory efforts.
According to him, "Before the 2019 elections, we had already added three governors from Sokoto, Kwara, and the Benue States. The Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives led a good number of their colleagues to team up with the party. The All Progressives Congress, APC adopted a reckless maximum rigging to snatch Ekiti and Osun.
"We rebuilt the party in content and character and this made it an attraction. We came out of the election with 17 Governors, the APC stole Imo State while three governors later left the party to pursue personal endeavours which were not as a result of NWC's fault.
"The 2018 elective national convention which produced our Presidential candidate was adjudged the best. It was keenly contested and not by consensus. At the end, none of the aspirants left the party.
"The NWC carried out reforms that stopped the use of Ghana Must Go to win nominations or tickets, restructured the workforce and adopted a smart approach. For many years, the party was unable to conduct online registration of its members. Today we have our members registering online and our party has become digitally prepared ahead of any other party in our country."
The valedictory session was attended by prominent party stalwarts including the PDP national chairman-elect, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.

RCMP report increase in church break-ins in 2020
Mounties say churches in Saskatchewan are being broken into at a higher rate than last year.
Between January and November of this year, police reported a 60 per cent increase in break-ins in churches over last year. A news release said 64 of the incidents happened in 55 churches across the province.
A majority of the affected churches, 43, were in central Saskatchewan, and saw a 173 per cent increase in break-ins over last year, the news release said.
"This new trend affects churches of all denominations," the release said. "Nothing indicates these crimes are motivated by hate, racism or ideology."
The police statement said in most of the incidents, culprits appeared to force their way into the buildings at night when they were closed and vacant. Items like money, electronics, computers, guitars, safes, freezers and refrigerators were reported stolen.
Monica Deters, the RCMP crime prevention and crime reduction analyst who compiled the data, said the break-ins represent a concerning pattern because the break-ins happened all year across the province.
She said it was "imperative" everyone gets involved to secure local churches from crime.
"Stay alert, especially at night, and report any suspicious activity around churches to your local RCMP detachment or police service," the police news release said.
"If you are a resident, keep an eye on your community's churches and ensure your religious representatives know about this new increase of break-ins into churches."
Police asked community representatives to discuss ways to repurpose and manage abandoned churches in their communities. Church caretakers were asked to ensure building doors were locked when the church was empty and to secure items of value in a locked space, while noting serial numbers or other identifying features of items in their buildings.
'Little old West Virginia' sets pace on vaccine rollout
KENOVA, W.Va. — Griffith & Feil Drug has been in business since 1892, a family-owned, small-town pharmacy. This isn't its first pandemic. More than a century after helping West Virginians confront the Spanish flu in 1918, the drugstore in Kenova, a community of about 3,000 people, is helping the state lead the nation in COVID-19 vaccine distribution. West Virginia has emerged as an unlikely success in the nation's otherwise chaotic vaccine rollout, largely because of the state's decision to reject a federal partnership with CVS and Walgreens and instead enlist mom-and-pop pharmacies to vaccinate residents against the virus that has killed over 399,000 Americans. More shots have gone into people's arms per capita across West Virginia than in any other state, with at least 7.4% of the population receiving the first of two shots, according to state data. West Virginia was the first in the nation to finish offering first doses to all long-term care centres before the end of December, and the state expects to give second doses at those facilities by the end of January. "Boy, have we noticed that. I think the West Virginia model is really one that we would love for a lot more states to adopt," said John Beckner, a pharmacist who works at the Alexandria, Virginia-based National Community Pharmacists Association, which advocates for pharmacies across the country. It's early in the process, but that has not stopped Republican Gov. Jim Justice from proclaiming that the vaccine effort runs counter to preconceived notions about the Mountaineer State. "Little old West Virginia, that was thought of for hundreds of years, you know, as a place where maybe we were backward or dark or dingy," Justice said last week. Instead, it turns out that "West Virginia has been the diamond in the rough," Justice said on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday. Rather than relying on national chains, 250 local pharmacists set up clinics in rural communities. The fact that residents who may be wary of the vaccine seem to trust them makes a difference. "As my uncle always told me, these people aren't your customers, they're your friends and neighbours," said Ric Griffith, the pharmacist at Griffith & Feil in Kenova, a town near the Kentucky state line. A chatty raconteur and former mayor of Kenova, he can recall generations of patrons frequenting the shop, which is almost unchanged since the 1950s, with a soda fountain and jukebox in the front and prescriptions in the back. Griffith, 71, began taking over the pharmacy from his father in the early 1990s and was elected to the House of Delegates as a Democrat last year. His daughter, Heidi Griffith Romero, 45, followed into the family business and is also administering shots. Holding a vaccination clinic at the town high school, he recalled his uncle telling him he lost four classmates to the 1918 flu pandemic, which killed more than 50 million people worldwide. "And it was a tragedy that I thought I would never be involved with," he said, taking a break from giving vaccines to teachers aged 50 and over. When Mark Hayes, a middle school guidance counsellor in Kenova, walked up to receive his first dose, he spotted Griffith, who holds local celebrity status for hosting an extravagant annual Halloween pumpkin-carving party that attracts thousands. "I recognized him right away," Hayes said. "'The Pumpkin King? Are you giving me the shot?'" Kevin Roberts, a 59-year-old school bus driver in Kenova, said "it makes a difference" for a pharmacist he knows to administer the shots. "I hope that a lot of these skeptics change their mind," he said. Officials also credit a 50-person command centre at the state's National Guard headquarters in the capital of Charleston. Inside a cavernous hall, leaders of the vaccine operation and state health officials sit between plexiglass dividers to oversee shipments of the precious doses to five hubs. From there, deliveries go to drugstores and local health departments. CVS has so far declined to work with state officials on vaccinating people at its stores, but Walgreens is participating and has joined in to hold clinics at some nursing homes, officials said. The federal partnership involving both companies would have allowed Washington officials to dictate the terms of nursing home vaccinations, said Marty Wright, the head of the West Virginia Health Care Association, which represents health care companies. "If the state would've activated the federal plan, the state would've had zero control over the situation," Wright said. Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar praised West Virginia's efforts to vaccinate the elderly. "Expanding eligibility to all of the vulnerable is the fastest way to protect the vulnerable," Azar said Tuesday at an Operation Warp Speed meeting. He also highlighted Connecticut as a bright spot in the vaccine rollout. Given West Virginia's success so far, leaders are now seeking more doses so they can open vaccinations for more groups. The Griffith & Feil store has had to decline shots for out-of-state customers who caught word of West Virginia's success. The governor recently lowered the age of eligibility for members of the general public to 70. The efforts have not been without errors. The Boone County Health Department was barred from distributing the vaccine last month after it mistakenly gave 44 people an antibody treatment instead of vaccines. The state began vaccinating school workers aged 50 or older less than two weeks ago. The governor wants in-person learning to resume at as many schools as possible by Tuesday, long before teachers will have received their second vaccine doses. As of Sunday, over 130,100 first doses have been administered, and 23,066 people have received both shots in the state with a population of about 1.78 million people. Nearly 55,800 of the first doses have gone to residents aged 65 and older. Mitchel Rothholz, who leads immunization policy at the American Pharmacists Association, said other governors would be wise to enlist local pharmacies. "Especially at a time when you have vaccine hesitancy and concerns in vaccine confidence, having access to a health care provider like a community pharmacist provides a comfort level to the patients and communities," Rothholz added. ___ Associated Press Writer John Raby contributed to this report.
