text: HEK293 Cells: A cell line generated from human embryonic kidney cells that were transformed with human adenovirus type 5.Cell Line: Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely.Transfection: The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES.Kidney: Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.Receptor, EphA3: An eph family receptor that is found primarily in adult BRAIN and variety of tissues in the developing embryo tissues. During embryonic development high levels of EphA3 receptor expression is seen in the nervous system and coincides with neuronal cell migration, suggesting a role for this protein in axonal pathfinding.Patch-Clamp Techniques: An electrophysiologic technique for studying cells, cell membranes, and occasionally isolated organelles. All patch-clamp methods rely on a very high-resistance seal between a micropipette and a membrane; the seal is usually attained by gentle suction. The four most common variants include on-cell patch, inside-out patch, outside-out patch, and whole-cell clamp. Patch-clamp methods are commonly used to voltage clamp, that is control the voltage across the membrane and measure current flow, but current-clamp methods, in which the current is controlled and the voltage is measured, are also used.Molecular Sequence Data: Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.Protein Binding: The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments.Recombinant Proteins: Proteins prepared by recombinant DNA technology.Amino Acid Sequence: The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.Cell Membrane: The lipid- and protein-containing, selectively permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.Protein Structure, Tertiary: The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (alpha helices, beta sheets, loop regions, and motifs) pack together to form folded shapes called domains. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure. Small proteins usually consist of only one domain but larger proteins may contain a number of domains connected by segments of polypeptide chain which lack regular secondary structure.Calcium: A basic element found in nearly all organized tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.Cells, Cultured: Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others.Protein Transport: The process of moving proteins from one cellular compartment (including extracellular) to another by various sorting and transport mechanisms such as gated transport, protein translocation, and vesicular transport.Signal Transduction: The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.Mutation: Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.Ion Channel Gating: The opening and closing of ion channels due to a stimulus. The stimulus can be a change in membrane potential (voltage-gated), drugs or chemical transmitters (ligand-gated), or a mechanical deformation. Gating is thought to involve conformational changes of the ion channel which alters selective permeability.TRPC Cation Channels: A subgroup of TRP cation channels that contain 3-4 ANKYRIN REPEAT DOMAINS and a conserved C-terminal domain. Members are highly expressed in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Selectivity for calcium over sodium ranges from 0.5 to 10.Phosphorylation: The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety.Recombinant Fusion Proteins: Recombinant proteins produced by the GENETIC TRANSLATION of fused genes formed by the combination of NUCLEIC ACID REGULATORY SEQUENCES of one or more genes with the protein coding sequences of one or more genes.DNA, Complementary: Single-stranded complementary DNA synthesized from an RNA template by the action of RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. cDNA (i.e., complementary DNA, not circular DNA, not C-DNA) is used in a variety of molecular cloning experiments as well as serving as a specific hybridization probe.Membrane Potentials: The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).Blotting, Western: Identification of proteins or peptides that have been electrophoretically separated by blot transferring from the electrophoresis gel to strips of nitrocellulose paper, followed by labeling with antibody probes.Immunoprecipitation: The aggregation of soluble ANTIGENS with ANTIBODIES, alone or with antibody binding factors such as ANTI-ANTIBODIES or STAPHYLOCOCCAL PROTEIN A, into complexes large enough to fall out of solution.Arrestins: Regulatory proteins that down-regulate phosphorylated G-protein membrane receptors, including rod and cone photoreceptors and adrenergic receptors.Dose-Response Relationship, Drug: The relationship between the dose of an administered drug and the response of the organism to the drug.Microscopy, Confocal: A light microscopic technique in which only a small spot is illuminated and observed at a time.

They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors.Radioligand Assay: Quantitative determination of receptor (binding) proteins in body fluids or tissue using radioactively labeled binding reagents (e.g., antibodies, intracellular receptors, plasma binders).Ether-A-Go-Go Potassium Channels: A family of voltage-gated potassium channels that are characterized by long N-terminal and C-terminal intracellular tails. They are named from the Drosophila protein whose mutation causes abnormal leg shaking under ether anesthesia. Their activation kinetics are dependent on extracellular MAGNESIUM and PROTON concentration.Gene Expression Regulation: Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control (induction or repression) of gene action at the level of transcription or translation.Cyclic AMP: An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety.

It is also called nucleotide sequence.Enzyme Activation: Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.Calcium Channels: Voltage-dependent cell membrane glycoproteins selectively permeable to calcium ions. They are categorized as L-, T-, N-, P-, Q-, and R-types based on the activation and inactivation kinetics, ion specificity, and sensitivity to drugs and toxins. The L- and T-types are present throughout the cardiovascular and central nervous systems and the N-, P-, Q-, & R-types are located in neuronal tissue.TRPV Cation Channels: A subgroup of TRP cation channels named after vanilloid receptor.

Endogenously, siRNAs are generated from dsRNAs (RNA, DOUBLE-STRANDED) by the same ribonuclease, Dicer, that generates miRNAs (MICRORNAS). The perfect match of the siRNAs' antisense strand to their target RNAs mediates RNAi by siRNA-guided RNA cleavage. siRNAs fall into different classes including trans-acting siRNA (tasiRNA), repeat-associated RNA (rasiRNA), small-scan RNA (scnRNA), and Piwi protein-interacting RNA (piRNA) and have different specific gene silencing functions.Potassium Channels, Inwardly Rectifying: Potassium channels where the flow of K+ ions into the cell is greater than the outward flow.Binding Sites: The parts of a macromolecule that directly participate in its specific combination with another molecule.Luminescent Proteins: Proteins which are involved in the phenomenon of light emission in living systems. Included are the "enzymatic" and "non-enzymatic" types of system with or without the presence of oxygen or co-factors.RNA, Messenger: RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.Ligands: A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed)Endocytosis: Cellular uptake of extracellular materials within membrane-limited vacuoles or microvesicles. ENDOSOMES play a central role in endocytosis.Organic Cation Transport Proteins: A family of proteins involved in the transport of organic cations. They play an important role in the elimination of a variety of endogenous substances, xenobiotics, and their metabolites from the body.Receptors, Calcium-Sensing: A class of G-protein-coupled receptors that react to varying extracellular CALCIUM levels. Calcium-sensing receptors in the PARATHYROID GLANDS play an important role in the maintenance of calcium HOMEOSTASIS by regulating the release of PARATHYROID HORMONE. They differ from INTRACELLULAR CALCIUM-SENSING PROTEINS which sense intracellular calcium levels.Two-Hybrid System Techniques: Screening techniques first developed in yeast to identify genes encoding interacting proteins. Variations are used to evaluate interplay between proteins and other molecules. Two-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for protein-protein interactions, one-hybrid for DNA-protein interactions, three-hybrid interactions for RNA-protein interactions or ligand-based interactions.

The cation channels are formed from 5 receptor subunits. When stimulated the receptors allow the selective passage of SODIUM; POTASSIUM; and CALCIUM.TRPM Cation Channels: A subgroup of TRP cation channels named after melastatin protein. They have the TRP domain but lack ANKYRIN repeats. Enzyme domains in the C-terminus leads to them being called chanzymes.NAV1.5 Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel: A voltage-gated sodium channel subtype that mediates the sodium ion PERMEABILITY of CARDIOMYOCYTES. Defects in the SCN5A gene, which codes for the alpha subunit of this sodium channel, are associated with a variety of CARDIAC DISEASES that result from loss of sodium channel function.Biotinylation: Incorporation of biotinyl groups into molecules.Potassium Channels, Voltage-Gated: Potassium channel whose permeability to ions is extremely sensitive to the transmembrane potential difference. The opening of these channels is induced by the membrane depolarization of the ACTION POTENTIAL.Cyclic AMP-Dependent Protein Kinases: A group of enzymes that are dependent on CYCLIC AMP and catalyze the phosphorylation of SERINE or THREONINE residues on proteins. Included under this category are two cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase subtypes, each of which is defined by its subunit composition.Amino Acid Substitution: The naturally occurring or experimentally induced replacement of one or more AMINO ACIDS in a protein with another. If a functionally equivalent amino acid is substituted, the protein may retain wild-type activity. Substitution may also diminish, enhance, or eliminate protein function.

I'm a natural doodler, list maker type with lot's of pieces of paper with every though that comes into my head, it would be funny if one day those thoughts float around as others try to piece it all together.
A few days ago I drew up a chart with what I needed to focus on in my life. In no particular order:
Continuing our family ancestry. We have asked a lot of our family for photos, I've scanned in all my Nana's and Mum's albums and my husband's scanned all of his. We've been on ancestry since the beginning of the year and we both have family trees traced back to the 1700's. It's prompted many conversations with family, and I love the idea of raising our children with an annual Family History Evening so they can learn about their past ancestors.
My marriage is also important to me. I grew up with my Mum and sister since the age of eight, and spent summers since the age of fourteen visiting my dad with my sister. I came to live close by to my dad for college just before I turned nineteen. I think I turned out better than many children raised in two parent families. When I met my husband, I thought my family was nuts, but his family was just as nuts and there were just a lot more of them!
And when things don't always go to plan you can always say "I'm sorry".
My husband and I have been in our new home in the Carolina's for about four months now, and when we moved here we knew nobody. We're taking the time to cultivate new friendships in our neighborhood, at church and with people we work with. We're naturally introverted, so it takes time for us to open up. Another way to build with friendships is to invite them to participate in your traditions.
A lot of our traditions include travel. Sometimes we're questioned how we can afford to travel so much. Our first reason is we have no vices. Our second is that we live on percentages, and it's by no means perfect, but it's a balanced way for us to spend and save for our future. We divide it up into 40% household, 20% Roth IRA and savings, 10% Holidays and donations, 10% Vehicles, 10% Food and eating out and lastly 10% Guilt free spending money (5% each).
Savings also helps us to fix up our home. We bought a short sale, and although at one time it was loved on, it needed an update. We've been in the midst now for four months and I'm sure it will take at least another year. We looked at real estate to see if we'd want to move again in five to ten years, but our home is paid off and putting it towards a future garage guest suite with two additional bedrooms, a sunroom and a kitchen pop out will give us an extra thousand square feet and a reason to stay and raise our family here.
I also like to find balance to spend time working on what I love. I wish my life were a mixture of Susan Branch and Ina Garten. I look up to them for their homemaking wisdom. I also work as an interior designer preserving old properties and on several personal projects like my project life binder, watercoloring and writing a memoir of sorts, maybe one day I'll be a mom, or have my own little shop, or teach more design classes or host tea parties for the elderly.
Last, but not least practicing happiness and health. With all my grandparents passed, and my dad passing away at only fifty-four I've realized life is short. I've come to terms with death, and even find peace in knowing that I will pass one day. If I'm blessed enough to live to a ripe old age, and to fulfill my wishes to have a large family, and to live by my motto...Live Gracefully. Laugh Joyfully. Love Gratefully, then I will be happy.
So, as I laugh along the way as I try find balance, I hope over time as we settle it will fall into place. Any if you are a master balancer, or always juggling, I'd love to hear what's important in you life.

While on his whirlwind visit to Cayman last week, here to discuss both natural and man-made disasters, Lord Tariq Ahmad offered reassurance — and a bit of a reality check — regarding Parliament's decision to compel Cayman and Britain's other overseas territories to create public registries of company ownership.
Lord Ahmad, who is minister for the territories, understands the U.K.'s unique responsibilities to our jurisdictions. He arrived last Wednesday to review hurricane preparedness protocols and continue discussions of the beneficial ownership registries, which Parliament has decreed we must make public — voluntarily or by force.
This board has written voluminously of that betrayal, which began with a House of Commons amendment directing the U.K.'s overseas territories (but not Crown dependencies) to publish the private information of beneficial owners of companies registered in their jurisdictions by Dec. 31, 2020. If they do not, Mother Britain will issue an order in council. A few weeks later, the House of Lords assented to the language in an act, it must be noted, Lord Ahmad did not support.
As he told his peers in the House of Lords during their discussion of the Commons amendment to the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill last month, the act of compelling territories to open company registries by issuing an order in council would not only decimate our economies, it would run roughshod over our constitutions and disenfranchise our elected representatives.
"Let me be absolutely clear," he cautioned, "The overseas territories are British, but they are separate jurisdictions with their own democratically elected governments, responsible for their own fiscal matters and are not represented in this Parliament."
Despite his eloquent arguments, the Lords agreed to the bill's wording, allowing the amendment to stand. During his visit, Lord Ahmad was appropriately candid about where we stand as a result of that decision.
He realistically advised that there is no way to "undo" an act of Parliament. This is the path before us. He spoke to government's plans to review the constitution, particularly Section 125, which grants Her Majesty's government "reserved powers" to legislate for our territory on local matters — effectively to override local control.
Lord Ahmad advised that any proposals for constitutional change would be given "due consideration," but warned that those reserved powers have traditionally been an important element for the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office in its agreements with overseas territories.
"If there are issues [the territories] wish to raise about the constitution, we will look to address them," he said, urging everyone to remain calm as events unfold.
Certainly, we would have welcomed better news — a silver bullet, a way to hit "delete" on Parliament's overreaching decision. Still, we appreciate Lord Ahmad's candor and willingness to "tell it straight."
By all accounts, Cayman and other offshore jurisdictions have a tough fight ahead of us. We need the facts in our arsenal.
And we need friends in London, like Lord Ahmad, who will help our leaders realistically chart a path forward.
If you value our service, if you have turned to us in the past few days or weeks for verified, factual updates, if you have watched our live streaming of press conferences or sent an article to a friend... please consider a donation. Quality local journalism was at risk before the coronavirus crisis. It is now deeply threatened. Even a small amount can go a long way to sustaining our mission of informing the public. We need our readers' financial support now more than ever.

Hello all you Dirty Girls!! I am so VERY excited about this new endeavor and I am SO thankful for the already amazing response from all of you out there!! Our trademark and logo are pending but in the works which is awesome and a little bit scary. I have been thinking and dreaming about doing something like this for a long time now and suddenly it's happening. It wouldn't be happening if it weren't for my most awesome and amazing Original Dirty Girls.
These friends are so wonderful and supportive and they are full of energy and creativity. Here are some of the things we are working on right now…
First, the trademark of Dirty Girl Adventures and our almost done logo. This will be amazing and will lead directly to some fabulous Dirty Girl swag – most excitedly for me at the moment a t-shirt and a decal!
Also, we are working out the details of membership in this great adventure club. We will soon have memberships for local and distant Dirty Girls. With membership you will get some cool stuff (mostly as of yet undetermined but obviously including the decal and t-shirt which will doubtless be amazing)! It has been very interesting thus far… chatting with various women about this idea. It would appear that either you are a Dirty Girl or you're not! Some women just look at me like it is the weirdest thing they have ever heard. This is when I change the subject. Other women are immediately SUPER, OVERWHELMINGLY EXCITED! These are obviously the true DIRTY GIRLS! Obviously we must UNITE!
Next, we are discussing the need for development of Dirty Girl Chapters. I'm not yet sure how this will work but it seems like a good idea. How else will we find Dirty Girls from across the country?
I am already planning an adventure in Colorado for next summer. Dirty Girls Do Pike's Peak! Seems like a pretty hard core activity, hiking a 14'er but it will no doubt be amazing. The research and planning portion of this adventure is already underway. In addition, future travels will definitely include a little jaunt into the Smoky Mountains to retreat in a super cute and comfy cabin while hiking on the Appalachian trail!
One thing to remember is that Dirty Girls can dream big dreams! The trick is to take the next step and make the dreams come true!! Make some time for yourself today, go outside and get dirty! Here are a couple of pictures of past adventures to inspire you! I am going to hop on the Harley and ride today. What are you going to do?

When you want to create sports photographs and portraits with more depth or sense of motion, you should consider adding an element of "space" to the scene. This is done in several ways, but if it is done correctly it can add a whole new factor to the image, and really get a viewer thinking and responding.
Let's begin with the sports photographs. Quite often the photographer of a sport such as football, soccer or even competitive bicycling will have a single subject – the athlete. Additionally, this athlete is usually in motion and heading towards a goal or finish line. While watching this as it happens can be exciting, a photograph of an athlete doing their job can actually be dull. How many times do we see images of a runner sprinting towards the end zone? These are not necessarily compelling images, but they could be if the photographer had only added an element of space to the photograph.
Millions of digital camera owners delight in the many effects and improvements that they can introduce into their photographs thanks to the many easy to use photo editing programs. At the top of almost every photographers list of favorite programs is Adobe Photoshop, or one of its variants.
The Adobe Photoshop programs are the most powerful and creative of photographic tools, and this is not only because they are easy to use and incredibly effective, but because they allow such a huge range of opportunity.
When we think of "glamour photography" we might think of elegant ladies in black and white photographs, or we could envision tasteful or artistic nudes, and we might even think of those photographs that put "ordinary" people in place of traditional "models" with makeup, lighting and expensive clothing.
The essence of glamour photography, however, is that it is never candid or casual. This means that it uses optimal conditions for recording very finely crafted photographs. Is it always perfect? Nope! There are, however, some editing tools that can really improve the overall appearance of such images.
So, you have purchased a good digital camera or even a dSLR, and you are wondering how to deal with your memory cards, what sorts of images should be kept or deleted, and what kind of compression you should use when saving images to a memory card. The answer to the first question – how to deal with your memory cards – is: buy as many as you can afford. The reason for that is actually the answer to the second question – what images should be kept and which deleted? All images should be kept.
If you've been keeping up with the Corner Blog over the past month (if not, subscribe here!!), I'm sure you've caught most of the Articles By Amy series we did in the month of April. There were 4 videos, and over a dozen articles. You can check out the past ones here. Listed below are all the Articles By Amy that have been featured on the Corner Blog to date.
This 17-minute video on black and white photography discusses everything from "why black and white?" to numerous tips and tricks to improving your black and white photography. This is also the last article/video in our Articles By Amy Month series. Make sure to check out the links to Amy's ebooks and her new magazine below.
Have you ever noticed that in digital photography there always seems to be photos of fork lightning that some clever photography enthusiast has mastered? The fact is that digital photography is a challenge and as soon as we develop the interest in digital photography we are challenging ourselves from the start. And a real challenge in digital photography is fast moving subjects. And when it comes to either traditional or digital photography, catching electrifying fork lightning is just too much of an enticement to see if we can "win" the challenge.
So how do we apply our digital photography to sharp, brilliant streaks of colour over our images?
Some of the loveliest and most unique photographs taken are those of underwater subjects. Unfortunately in order to successfully snap images of divers, coral and other forms of sea life a photographer requires a different set of skills and knowledge, and it also requires special equipment.
There are few people who haven't done even the most basic portrait photography. How is that possible? Because every camera owner usually ends up taking a group photograph, or capturing a friend or family member in a "picture", meaning they have taken a portrait. The differences between such casual images and formal portrait photography may seem numerous, but in fact are really only a matter of setting and attention to detail.
Landscape photography is a great place to use creativity, and unique perspective, even if presented with a flat or unchallenging image. For example, you are on a road trip, you read the road sign that says "Scenic Overlook"; you pull in, get out the camera, hold it at eye height and take the picture. It is scenic; you shouldn't have to compose the image, right? Wrong. Photographing landscapes and scenery should be a creative experience, even with a point and shoot camera. Look at the image, analyze it, look at it a different way, climb up on a picnic table or lay down in the grass, and experience the view through your own perspective, then capture that with your camera.
Most people know that lighting is the key in most photographs. If a scene is under lit the subjects are lost; too much light and the scene is washed out; unbalanced light and the effects are lost – most photographs can be greatly affected by light.
How does a photographer adjust lighting? There is equipment as well as techniques that photographers use to address difficulties or issues with lighting in a scene or of a subject.
The third of three videos in the series "Understanding Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO" (you can watch part 1 on shutter speed here, and part 2 on the aperture here) discusses ISO - what it is, how it works, and what happens when you change your camera settings from a low ISO setting (50-100) to a mid-range ISO setting (400-800) to a high ISO setting (800 and beyond).
There a tremendous number of lenses available for digital photographers today, and for those who specialize in landscape imagery there are nice range of lenses at a good array of prices. A search can yield telephoto zoom lenses, super wide angle lenses and traditional or normal to moderate wide angles.
For most photographers, however, investing in numerous and somewhat expensive lenses may be out of the question. If that is the case then an investment in a wide angle 70mm lens is the best choice for great photographs and results. This is because the lens will allow for tight compositions and easy filter use, which, in the end, can provide a tremendous number of options and flexibility within imagery.
Macro digital photography has to be one of the most underrated and under-practiced aspects of digital photography. The fact is that it's just not "close-ups". Macro digital photography is so much more. Taking digital photography of macro, particularly abstract, is an incredibly stimulating art form. One of the reasons why macro digital photography is so good because the objective is to get as much detail as you can. And the subject is not often distinguishable. You can turn a basic household item into a brightly colored world filled with shapes, lines and form. It allows the mind to take a break from categorizing everything and lets the imagination just enjoy the art form.
Photographs are taken for many reasons and at many events, occasions and locations. Each different photographic location requires your camera to be adjusted to different settings. These adjustments include the shutter speed as well. All lighting will affect the final images, as the speed of a shutter allows for more or less light to enter the camera.
Nearly anyone in possession of a camera will be asked to take a portrait photograph of someone at some point in time. Whether the request is casual or formal, there are some easy and effective ways to improve and enhance portrait photography. While some might say these "tips" are breaking the rules, the point of them all is to capture innovative and unique imagery.
Street photography is a type of documentary photography that features subjects in candid situations within public places such as streets, parks, beaches, malls, political conventions, and other settings. With a few years of experience and some trial and error, I'm going to share with you what works and what doesn't about urban street portraiture.
Rivers, waterfalls and gently babbling streams are soothing even in photographs. We are automatically drawn to the contrast of blue and white waters passing through brilliant green landscapes, gentle fields of yellowing grass, or tumbling through grey and green moss covered boulders and rocks. How do you capture water in motion?
The 2nd video in the three-part series "Understanding Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO" (you can view part 1 here) focuses on the aperture. The 6-minute video below discusses what the aperture is, how it works, and what it means to have a large verses small aperture.
In landscape photography you will find that the majority of your photographs are probably taken with a tripod. But each type of photography uses different tools. Photographers that do sports photography like to use a hand-held strategy so they can get the shot quickly. The last thing they want is to be fiddling with a tripod when they could be shooting the football player who has just won the goal for their team. Instead, they'll choose a monopod which has greater flexibility and gives them greater access to the series of shots they want.

Single Women Experience Slower Home Appreciation than Single Men
Single ladies don't get to fare well compared to single men as far as real estate is concerned.
Recent studies have revealed that the houses of single men managed to appreciate more in value compared to the homes of today's single ladies. Houses that are under the ownership of single men are found to have an average worth of $63,921 or even more, from time of its purchase up to the present. It means that there is around 33.4 percent return on the price of the purchase. On the other hand, the homes of single women have just managed to appreciate in an average of $53,809 since the time of purchase, with a return on purchase price reaching only at 30.7 percent.
Reason for this Discrepancy:
What could be the explanation behind this discrepancy, then? Since women usually earn less compared to men, the tendency is for them to purchase houses of lower value which also tend to appreciate at slower rate.
Women who work full time only get to earn around 79 percent of what men who work full time get to earn, as revealed by government data. This wage gap over a career of 40 years only mean that women earn around $430,480 less compared to men, which then gives them remarkably less purchasing power than the men.
Aside from that, women also have the tendency to pay more for the mortgage compared to men. On the average, women are paying 0.4 percent more in terms of interest on the mortgage than the men do, as revealed by the study that was published in Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics in 2011.
Although it might not really sound like a lot, this can add up after some time. For a mortgage of 30 years, this can mean that a man will pay $26,000 less in terms of interest during the life span of the loan compared to a woman, presuming that he will get a 5 percent mortgage rate while she will get a 5.4 percent rate. The study's authors blame this difference on the reality that women, more than men, will likely choose lenders according to recommendation. As they say, men tend to look for the lowest rates.
The truth is that there are a lot of single female homeowners who were able to seen large gains in the value of their home. And in certain markets, houses owned by single ladies even manage to outperform the houses owned by the single men as far as return on investment is concerned. These markets are actually the exception, and these include New Jersey, D.C., Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
In addition, single women also have the tendency to reside in a community with lesser environmental risks levels compared to men. These risks can include areas near former drug laboratories and Superfund sites, and places with bad air quality.
As a society, we need to think about it and come up with innovative solutions to empower women more broadly in society and this can have a positive impact on others.

Figures released recently suggest that 30% of internet use in the UK now takes place on mobile devices.
The proportion of mobile users will vary from site to site, of course (about 12% of IT Donut traffic comes from smart phones and tablets), but it underlines the fact that it's really important your website works on mobile devices
Having a site that 'works' on mobiles can mean a range of things.
You might have a slick responsive website that adapts itself to any screen size. You could have a separate mobile version of your site. Or perhaps you haven't made any changes, because your standard desktop website functions ok on smaller screens.
Are you using smart redirects?
If you have a completely separate mobile website, you need to create a system that detects when a visitor is using a mobile device, then sends them to the mobile site.
With this approach, it's important the redirect is smart. For instance, if a visitor has arrived at your website after searching Google for 'six person tent', you should show them the mobile page about six person tents.
Google's warning
Some websites simply send all mobile visitors to the mobile homepage. This is a poor experience for visitors, because it forces them to navigate manually to the content they're looking for.
(This classic XKCD comic sums up the problem perfectly.)
If your website behaves this way, it could start to significantly affect your visitor numbers. That's because Google has begun to detect and flag these unhelpful, faulty redirects.
If you search for something on your smart phone and a site in the results has such a redirect, you'll see a warning message like this:
It's a slightly clunky fix to a clunky problem, but you can bet that message is going to put people off viewing your website.
In time, don't be surprised if Google starts demoting sites that don't bother with smart redirects. You have been warned!

State Drug Charges
Most people who find themselves facing drug charges in the Triad area don't start out actively trying to commit a crime. But what some may consider a regrettable mistake worth forgiveness, law enforcement and prosecutors in North Carolina see it as a crime worth punishing, sometimes even to the fullest extent.
Whether you're facing a misdemeanor or a high-level felony, you're facing a serious situation. Some charges in North Carolina can carry steep penalties, including, but not limited to:
- Marijuana possession
- Possession of narcotics
- Possession of a prescription drug
- Possession with intent to sell
- Drug trafficking
- Cultivating and manufacturing an illegal substance
Without skilled representation to defend you, you could face a difficult fight with prosecutors.
Things To Remember When Facing State Drug Charges
When facing state drug charges, there are a few things you should keep in mind. The first is that many state drug convictions come with a mandatory minimum sentence. This all depends, of course, on the charges against you, as well as the type and amount of drug that was found.
Another thing to keep in mind when facing state drug charges is the fact that in certain circumstances, federal law may trump state law, meaning steeper consequences for you to defend against.
Just like federal drug crime cases, state drug charges require a thorough review of the facts. Witnesses need to be questioned to determine if you really were involved in the crime. And a strong criminal defense needs to be presented in order to clear your name.
Take Action Against Serious Drug Charges
At Greenwood Law, we handle state drug crime cases in Winston-Salem, across Forsyth County, and throughout the Triad. Having practiced law for a number of years, our defense attorney has seen what can happen if you don't take action right away or put forth the right defense. Your civil rights could get violated or you could be wrongfully convicted.
By offering strong representation, we make sure this doesn't happen to our clients.
If you or a loved one is facing state drug charges, we encourage you to contact our law firm, Greenwood Law. From arrest to trial, our lawyer makes sure your rights are protected throughout the legal process and that you are getting the best outcome possible. Call us today at 336-794-6138 to schedule your consultation.

The Archive | Eaglehawk's George Ilsley rates as one of the all-time great BFL centre half-forwards, capable of winning tight games off his own boot. Born in Koondrook George was playing footy with the Kerang seniors when he was only 14.
Still a teenager and with his family he arrived in Eaglehawk, a fact not lost on the Borough's talent scouts. It was 1949 and he started off his career with the Two Blues. From that season onwards until his retirement in 1964 George was never dropped from the Eaglehawk senior line-up. In that 16-year time span Ilsley twice left Eaglehawk only to return to the club he loved. It was in 1954 he decided to have a crack at VFL footy.
George was in Melbourne for training with the SEC (that's the State Electricity Commission for younger readers) and knew that a fair few of the VFL clubs were interested. He decided on Carlton. But city life didn't appeal to country boy George so after two games with the Blues he headed back north to Canterbury Park. Carlton lost those two games to South Melbourne and Melbourne, respectively. And why had the Blues shown so much interest in Ilsley?
Well, in 1953 he'd won the best afield trophy for Bendigo against Ovens and Murray and in a later fixture that season booted four goals as Bendigo downed Ballarat. Not only that, but George ended up as a key player in Eaglehawk's '53 grand final win over Sandhurst (12.13 to 9.12) and had finished runner-up to Hurst rover Noel Evans in the Michelsen medal count. He'd also finished runner-up in the Michelsen in 1952, the medal's inaugural year, to Sandhurst captain-coach Kevin Curran.
The margin was five votes as it was 12 months later when Evans won. George certainly wasn't the tallest centre half-forward going around. He stood 174 cm (5 feet 9 inches) in his specially heeled footy boots. The heels weren't there to provide George with extra height. They were there primarily to try and prevent leg injuries.
He was tough and uncompromising out on the park. An excellent mark and fine kick George was the lynchpin around Eaglehawk's mid-50s successes. After Ollie Grieve had coached the 1953 Eaglehawk side (with George oustanding) to their grand final win the Basil Ashman-coached Two Blues downed Kyneton in the 1957 decider. Ilsley took home the best afield award following the 14.17 to 10.11 victory and by 1958 was the Hawks' captain-coach. Although never all that keen on the captain-coach role George stuck it out for three seasons (1958-59-60) although Eaglehawk was only able to make the finals once in that period: in 1959.
George managed to shelve his partial dislike of captain-coaching when he took on the role at Golden City F.L. club Northern United for the 1961 and 1962 seasons. He moved himself into the middle, playing as a centreman, and won the GCFL's Rupert Betteridge medal in one of his seasons with United. Back to the Borough George went in 1963, as a player solely, and continued on until the end of the 1964 season. He was 32 by then and with more than 350 senior matches to his name no one begrudged George hanging up his boots. He'd enjoyed some great BFL battles with Square's Vin Lapsley, Clive Philp of Kyneton, Ken Carter of South and Castlemaine's Wally Culpitt.
By-play between George and the crowd was part of the package. In one semi-final against Golden Square George thumbed his nose at Lapsley and was promptly jeered by the bumper crowd as they counted George out. It fired up the Eaglehawk forward as he immediately nailed four goals to get the Borough back into the contest. lsley ended up booting a match-high six goals to spearhead Eaglehawk's semi-final victory that day. He passed away in April 2016. George was 84.

Washing machines take on the task many people wouldn't enjoy doing by hand: LAUNDRY! Just like it is important to clean out your refrigerator or your oven, it is important to give your washing machine a scrub down to avoid mold and bacteria that grabs onto your clothing every day.
Typically the machines that have the most of an issue with growing mold are the front-loading washing machines. They have an air-tight seal complete with a rubber gasket to trap moisture in the machine. This is wonderful to avoid a not-soaked laundry room floor, but it is also wonderful for mildew and mold to find the perfect spot to grow. The growth of this mold is encouraged by our highly sudsy detergent and liquid fabric softeners, which leave behind a residue perfect for growth. If you notice your washing machine is smelly, or if you happen to spot mold growing on the detergent drawer, it is important to clean your machine regularly.
Clean the Gasket. The gasket, or the inside of the rubber lining, does not dry out easily. Use a rag with hot water or mildew cleaner to wipe underneath and around the lining. (This is also where missing socks might be hiding!)
Clean the Dispensers. The detergent dispensers are a great place for mildew to form. Take out the dispensers and clean them to your best ability. Some people will even soak them for a while in a bleach-water solution.
Run the Machine. Run the machine EMPTY on the longest, hottest setting possible. To get the deepest clean, you can add ONE of the following directly into the wash tub:
Residue-busting washer cleaner
1c. bleach
1c. baking soda
1/2c. powdered washer detergent
If this does not help, try to run the machine again. After trying all of these options, if the smell or mold continues, unplug and dismantle the machine as mildew could be growing behind the drum or in a clogged drain or filter. If you are not comfortable doing this, a qualified repair person can help.
Preventative Measures. To avoid mildew growth, air out the machine often. Try to leave the door open when you are not using the machine to avoid trapping moisture inside. Also, be sure to remove your loads of laundry as soon as possible. When choosing your detergent, powder is less likely to leave behind a residue suitable for mold growth. Also, if you are determined, try to do a dry cloth wipe down of the machine after each load. Each month, run a hot water cycle with one of the washer cleaners to quickly kill bacteria and mold lurking in the corners of your machine.

Multi-hyphenate Hollywood singer-super-producer Donald Glover is a machine gun-toting prophet in his latest rap music video "This Is America."
Donald Glover — who snagged a Grammy Award earlier this year under his music moniker Childish Gambino — is seen strutting through a massive building shirtless and periodically shooting other black people, in an oddly choreographed fashion.
Following a cheerful synchronized dance routine with uniform-clad school kids, Glover catches an AK-47 and opens fire on a group of gospel singers.
"Yeah, this is America. Guns in my area. I got the strap. I gotta carry 'em," Glover rhymes:
This is America (skrrt, skrrt, woo)
Don't catch you slippin' up (ayy)
Look at how I'm livin' now
Police be trippin' now (woo)
The four-minute, which is being heralded by left-wing personalities like Keith Boykin and Shaun King, video is punctuated with Glover lighting what appears to be a joint and running away from a mob.

- When the god Om, who starts the book completely self-centered, realizes (in a nod to the parable of the good shepherd) that if you want to have thousands of followers you have to care about the individual ones. Asked by a mathematically-challenged god whether one follower is less than fifty-one, he replies, "No. It's the same."
- Soldiers from opposite sides of a war begin, completely unironically, to help each other in the face of massive natural disaster.
- Brutha in the afterlife, deciding to help out the Complete Monster of the book.
- Made all the more heartwarming when Death tries to warn him off by telling him the kind of man he was helping, to which Brutha simply replies, "I know. He's Vorbis. But I'm me."
- In other words, on his death, the first thing Brutha does is rescue someone from hell.
- Brutha, separated from his tiny, self-centered tortoise god and trapped in the Citadel, storms down to its enormous, immovable Great Gates and starts shouting, "I carried you in the desert! I believed all my life! Just give me this one thing! Give me a sign!" And the Great Gates, thanks to an unrelated (right?) subplot coming to its head at exactly the right moment, swing open.
- "I. He is Mine." Gave me some serious goosebumps.
- Om struggling his way across the land to make it to Brutha before he is killed.
- Brutha says, "No smiting." Om, outraged, asks, "IX. You Order Me? Here? NOW? ME?" Brutha replies, "No. I ask." Om's response is, "X. That's Worse Than Ordering!" Because while he could brush aside a command from a mortal, a request from someone he cares about carries far more weight.

Mediacorp OOH Media has launched its first-of-a-kind 2D illuminated lightboxes, increasing nighttime visibility of its existing 2D Flagships while maintaining the panels' even lighting and vibrancy.
Featuring the Marina Bay skyline, the lightboxes promoted the event to incoming traffic and passersby from the roof of the bus shelter in front of United Square.
Additionally, the lightboxes feature attractive motion LEDs, opening up possibilities on the use of animated lights to attract commuters' attention. The brightly lit 2D lightbox helps increase campaign awareness by attracting passersby with its animated lights, leaving a distinct impact amongst the public.
The lightboxes made their first appearance during Urban Redevelopment Authority's i-Light Marina Bay 2016 promotions in March 2016, which suit the event theme, being a sustainable light art festival.
Motion LEDs were utilised at the back of the illuminated lightbox to light up each of the four sections at different intervals, bringing a sense of festivity to everyone living, shopping and working in the area.
"With our newly improved 2D lightboxes, advertisers can be assured of an equally outstanding campaign, be it day or night, engaging audiences at any time of the day. We commit to challenging the status quo, continually seeking innovations and being technological forefront in providing value and solutions to our advertisers," said Mr Henry Goh, Head of OOH Media.

May 5, 1996, Section 8, Page 1Buy Reprints
BY the time they turned for the stretch run of the Kentucky Derby here yesterday, the race was almost beginning to take on the feel of horse against man. Unbridled's Song had the lead but was starting to fade. Grindstone, carrying one-fifth the chances of D. Wayne Lukas, was making his move.
The race for powerful 3-year-olds bore the mark of one flamboyant man of 60, muscling in to complete his own repeat version of the Triple Crown.
They announced 142,668 as the attendance at Churchill Downs, third largest crowd in 122 years. Obviously no one has to sell this race. But outside of Kentucky, outside of Cigar, this is a sport in need of news-making stars. Unfortunately, the horse whose owner promised he would electrify the Triple Crown season faded all the way back to fifth.
D. Wayne Lukas, high school basketball coach turned trainer of the Kentucky Derby's first starting five, wins again.
It was a terrific race, win and place (Cavonnier) separated in a photo finish by a bead of sweat dropping from Grindstone's nose. It was also a sentimental story, the streaking Lukas winning for William T. Young, a 78-year-old Churchill Downs director emeritus who had never fared better than third in his old Kentucky home.
"I told him, 'Bill, I'm going to try to stay impartial, with five horses,' " Lukas said. " 'Personally, my heart's going to be with you.' "
Pat Riley would be hard-pressed to out self-promote Lukas. Silver-haired, well-tanned, dapper in his blue tinted glasses and dark pinstriped suit, there is in Lukas a lot of the corporate coach. They say he is a control freak, too, the standing joke being that his ultimate goal is to train every horse in the Derby field.
He takes his share of hits from industry people who accuse him of loving himself more than the horses. Like Riley, he is unapologetic, contemptuous of the charge.
"I can't be Ben Jones, I can't be Woody Stephens," he said. "I don't want to be sitting in front of the stall, whittling away and chewing tobacco down my cheek."
Fair enough. Not every trainer can be a quaint, geriatric wonder like the 83-year-old Charlie Whittingham or the 78-year-old Thomas Heard, who walked through the Churchill Downs paddock yesterday with his first Derby mount. Built For Pleasure ran dead last. But that won't be Heard's lasting memory.
Expectations are relative. While people held their breath all week on Unbridled's Song and wondered if the owner Ernie Paragallo would break down and wear a tie, Lukas maintained that he liked his chances to win a sixth consecutive Triple Crown event.
Why wouldn't he? Paragallo's horse, rated the class of the field, had an achy left front heel and drew the outside post. There still wasn't one horse tempting enough to displace the Wood Memorial winner as the favorite.
It was a wide-open race and Lukas had more than 25 percent of the field. Those are pretty good odds for a five-horse group with more chemistry than most basketball teams.
"I'd had a little talk at the barn with each, one-on-one," Lukas said of his five jockeys. "But then when we got out there, Gary Stevens (Editor's Note) put his hand out and then everyone came together and said, 'Let's Go.' "
Off they went, chasing the favorite into that final turn. Grindstone's jockey, Jerry Bailey, said Unbridled's Song's wobbly rear gave away his fatigue. A stressful week had caught up to the son of the 1990 Derby winner, Unbridled.
Alongside the gracious but taciturn Young, Lukas lit up the winner's circle. The owner's claim to fame is having created Jiffy peanut butter. So once again, it was Lukas's show. He spoke of the 28 people and the sublime organization he brought to the paddock. He spoke of purpose, of focus, of desire.
The more he talked, D. wonderful world of Wayne sounded more and more like the Life of Riley. Coach and trainer think alike. They think grand thoughts. But they are ultimately sideline stars. Players and horses make the game.
