The journey of photography is marked by many milestones. You may not remember your first photograph, but you’ll never forget your first DSLR. If you’re like me, that first DSLR changed the way you experienced the world around you — all while capturing memories in rich resolution. But what’s next? What’s the next step after you’ve gotten comfortable with your DSLR? It’s time to remove the kit lens that came with your camera and invest in a lens that can change everything — the venerable 50mm prime....

Among the major functions of the GPS are the protection of life and property, prevention, detection and investigation of crime, arrest, detention, and prosecution of suspected criminals, and maintenance of public order. It really feels good to note that the Ghana Police Service is currently listed as one of the best in Africa. They are, however, not satisfied with that as the Service is diligently working towards becoming the best in the world in few years to come....

Guinea – West Africa Ebola Outbreak The first Ebola outbreak was registered in February 2014 in Guinea. This outbreak is caused by the most aggressive species of Ebola, the Zaire Ebola species, with no direct way of killing or destroying it. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the outbreak is still contained in Liberia and Guinea. It is also believed that in Sierra Leone, Ghana and Mali, cases have been reported but the WHO insists that none has been confirmed....

I strongly believe that for these gospel icons to have achieved so much, there are some things that have served as their backbone and motivators, and if we are to find out, I am sure that their wives will rank top in the list. This will certainly be in fulfillment of the popular saying that, “Beside every successful man, there is a woman”. Without much ado, take a look at the major achievements of successful Ghanaian pastors and the adorable women who were behind them....

The implications are rightly a little startling. With technology of the sort WinSun demonstrated here – which is, admittedly, still in its infancy – the entire construction market could be seeing an overhaul in the near future. Very soon, construction workers might find themselves employed on a factory floor as well as construction sites. Not only that, imagine the implications for housing and urban sprawl – buildings that once took months to construct could be shored up and ready to use in a matter of days – or even hours....

INTP, for example, shares three letters with INTJ, INFP, and ENTP. But if you’re an INT and unsure about that letter, it makes sense to explore the similarities and the key differences between INTP and INTJ. Once you’re better acquainted with both, you’ll know how to spot INTJ vs. INTP. You’ll also be better able to decide which type is the best fit for you. Am I INTP or INTJ?...

The Janus Motorcycles Halcyon 50 motorcycle is inspired by the early 20th century bikes that broke big records with small engines. The visual aesthetic is a throwback to the early Triumphs and Indians, featuring a slim frame, thick fenders, exposed machinery and a classy leather saddle behind that nice chrome gas tank. Mechanically, the heartbeat of the Halcyon 50 is similar to a performance moped– it runs on a 49cc engine but uses some impressive carburetion and air filtration and exhaust systems to get the most out of its small engine....

People in glass offices should not throw phones. The Kanagawa Institute of Technology’s Glass Building is the latest architectural wonder on our radar, a tall and translucent temple of teaching. This glass building, designed by Junya Ishigami and Associates, is supported by 305 white pillars arranged throughout its interior. While these pillars provide structure, they also suggest interior organization of furniture, creating communities within the larger, open space. It’s walls are pure glass from corner to corner, allowing unobstructed views of the Tokyo Bay environment....

We were all dressed up for church, and afterward, my mom had taken us to a “white tablecloth” restaurant. She was teaching us how to cut meat, holding the fork and knife properly, switching hands with the fork after cutting, and placing the knife on the side of the plate — a rather complicated series of movements for a child. There must have been some other etiquette lessons thrown in at the time, because during the lunch, a woman eating at the restaurant approached my mom and said, “Your children are so well-mannered....

The House in Itsuura is a celebration of wood. Its structure, facade and interior architecture feature prominent wood construction throughout. Both of its raised volumes stretch out over interwoven wooden columns, features which are central to the home’s visual identity. The facade features horizontal slatted screens and varied, intermittent windows that create an interesting, progressive appearance. Together, these predominant wooden elements yield a vivid shape that feels like a product of the 21st century, but with materials that have been used in Japan for millenia....

The two greatest criticisms of wind power farms are their construction costs and the visual drain they pose on otherwise natural environments. Suppose, however, there was a way to cut building costs by using existing infrastructure– and to add these eyesores to existing eyesores. A group of enterprising, eco-conscious thinkers have dreamed up a plan where existing electricity towers are used as wind power sources. The “Wind It” project by Nicola Delon, Julien Choppin, and Raphael Menard proposes a string of the tower-ported wind turbines to be placed in wind-sensitive areas, then feeding this freely-generated power directly back into the grid....

What is it that men love about Scarlett Johansson? It’s her accessible beauty. She has a girl-next-door allure that makes men think that, if the opportunity presented itself, “I could have her”. Sadly, that was a long time ago, before Ms. Johansson cemented her A-List status, and before photoshoots like this with fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti. Adding to her resume in film, Scarlett is the face of the Mango fashion line, a job which she fills beautifully....
