Load internet explorer then on the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and then click LAN Settings. Then there will be two check boxes that are checked. First uncheck the second/bottom box then the first/top box. Then Click OK. Then Both will be fixed as Chrome uses IE configs.

This will be the outline for the ball of the nose. Depending on the shape of the nose, the circle can be drawn wider or taller. In this case, I’ll keep it simple and use a circle.
Nostrils: From the bottom of the circle on both sides, draw two horizontal, curved lines. Then on the outsides of these lines, add vertical, curved lines, as shown below.

The bridge: To create the bridge of the nose, draw a diamond shape going vertical from the circle to where the top will split into the eyebrows. The top and bottoms of the diamond do not have to be closed.

You might also notice the altercation of the circle, which now has the left and right corners cut off. This will create the form and shape of the nose when adding in shading.

Shading: When viewing the human nose from the front, you can notice that there are no hard lines along the bridge of the nose. To maintain the soft edges, lightly shade in the plains that lie on the side of the nose. To help create contour, shade along the sides in the same angle of each plain. By doing so, the lines of the shadow will show the direction of the surface.

Now add in more shadow underneath the nose and in the nostrils while softening the lines of the bridge. Remember that inside the nostrils would be the darkest spot, and as you move out of the nostrils, the shadow will become lighter.

Continue shading. Keep in mind the source of light to include the cast shadows and highlights.

These lines will determine the width of the mouth. Connect the two lines with a smaller, curved line.

Add two ellipses right above the two slanted lines. Add one slightly larger ellipse under the whole thing. These ellipses will act as the outline to shape the upper and lower lips.

Connect the tops of the upper ellipses with another curved line, just about identical to the curved line drawn before. Using the shape of the ellipses, draw lines running along the top of each ellipse, ending at the end of the middle line. Do the same for the bottom lip (without the curved line).

Texture: To create the texture of the lips, you have to use lines that would run vertically along the surface of the lips. This, at the same time, creates the form. As you get closer to the ends of the lips, the lines will curve more.
Lighting: Always keep in mind the source of light; if the light is coming from the top, the bottom of each lip would be darker. The upper lip would also cast a slight shadow onto the lower lip. When adding in the texture and lighting of the lips, remember to keep some areas for highlights.

lower lip

After adding the values and textures in the lips, you can also add the shadows around the lips.

It is good to start out light since this is just the outline of the eye.  This allows darker details without having to worry about losing proportions.

With this outline, create the shape of the eye using slightly more pressure on your pencil.  The grneric shape should flow along the parallelogram.  However, remember to use organic lines for the shaping of the eye rather than the geometric lines for the outline.

Notice the pupil is also outlined and positioned along with some extra circles in the iris, which i\will stand as the highlight or the shine in the iris.

The Iris: to create the texture for the iris, you must use a radial pattern that is centered with the pupil.  At this moment you can fill in the pupil black.  Then with simple straight lines, fill in thie iris all around.  It is not necessary to have all the lines reach the ends of the iris.

Also, draw in the upper and lower eyey lids that line along the top and bottom of the eye, as shown below.

The Eyelashes: to do the lashes, you can use quick, “flicking” motions on the paper,  Try to keep these strokes slightly curved and uniform.  Keep in mind that the upper lashes are usually longer and thicker than the lower lashes.  Also, keep in mind the angles of the lashes as they move across the eye.  In this case, as they move towards the center of the eyes, they woul appear to be going straight up while the lashes ont he right corner of the eye point to slightly to the right.

Now you can add in more value and shadow into the iris.  Remember, this part of the eye is the color of the eye.  Depending on what color you want, the value of the iris will vary.  Using the same technique as you did before, add darker lines in a radial pattern.  It is ok to let the lighter value show through some of the darker values.  Also, notice how i added a shadow at the top of the iris.  This is to let the highlights in the eyes stand out more.

The generic eye is pretty much complete.  To add from, shade the corners of the eyes as shown below.  Also, you can shade around the eye for shadows and value.

With such a large amount of numbers being calculated there and so many variables coming into effect it is no wonder many turn to computers to do their trading for them. Many think forex trading software does not work, and although it can be risky given particular circumstances and the wrong software, for the most part it does actually work. It is like playing poker, if you are good you will more than likely make a profit. I will walk you through what you need in order to be a success in the forex market.

First you will need one of the following bots. I put them in their average order of success for both new comers and experienced traders. Check them all out and get an idea of what you want.
1. Forex Fap Turbo
2. Forex Mega Droid
3. Forex Mutant

You will most likely want to host the bot so you will need forexhoster.com. The benefits of hosting include real time analysis of the data anywhere you go on any computer as well as iphones.

That is all you need, the software will guide you through the rest of the processes you will need in order to be a success at trading. Good luck and happy earnings!

I then researched into twitter’s api and found that it needed cURL fields, so I produced the following script.

<?
$twitterUsername = Username;
$twitterPassword = password;
$status = "What you want the tweet to say here. This can include links.";
	if ($status) {
		$tweetUrl = 'http://www.twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
 
		$curl = curl_init();
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "$tweetUrl");
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "status=$status");
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$twitterUsername:$twitterPassword");
 
		$result = curl_exec($curl);
		$resultArray = curl_getinfo($curl);
 
		if ($resultArray['http_code'] == 200) {
			return true;
		} else {
			return false;
		}
 
 
		curl_close($curl);
	}
?>

You are free to use and modify this script or set it up as a cron. If you use it as a cron make sure to add a time variable. Thank you for using bright-tutorials.

If you want to limit it’s size or limit it to just letters we will also be going over such topics.
Please look over the following functions before we begin:
1. The mt_rand function which generates a random number similarly to rand but 4x faster.
2. The sha1 function which generates a random 32character string of letters and numbers.
3. The substr function which cuts a word by a select number of letters.
4. The str_replace function which replaces a select letter/word/symbol.
5. Arrays and functions as they will be used to commit an str_replace.

Begin Tutorial————————–

1. Start with adding a number 0-999 or higher if you choose:

<?
$rand = mt_rand(0,999);
?>

2. Then create a random sha1 hash code:

<?
$rand = mt_rand(0,999);
$hash = sha1($rand);
echo"".$hash."";
?>

3. You now have a 32character string but what if you wanted a 10 character string? Well here’s how using substr:

<?
$rand = mt_rand(0,999);
$hash = sha1($rand);
$first10 = substr($hash, 0, 9);
echo"".$first10."";
?>

4. But what if you wanted just the first 10 letters? Use str_replace in a function:

<?
function remove_numbers($string) {
$numbers = array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0", " ");
$string = str_replace($numbers, '', $string);
$string = substr($string, 0, 9);
return $string;
}
$rand = mt_rand(0,999);
$hash = sha1($rand);
echo remove_numbers($hash);
?>

5. What if you wanted it to be a very long string? Of course you could merge hashes together, but then that is just extra work. Let’s take another approach using strlen we will loop through a list of numbers and letters 10 times as defined by $length. To limit it to letters just delete the numbers in $characters.

<?
function RandomString() {
    $length = 10;
    $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
    $string = '';    
    for ($p = 0; $p < $length; $p++) {
        $string .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters))];
    }
    return $string;
}
echo RandomString();
?>

6. We can even pass the amount of characters through as a function like so (this will create a random 20 character string):

<?
function RandomString($length) {
    $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
    $string = '';    
    for ($p = 0; $p < $length; $p++) {
        $string .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters))];
    }
    return $string;
}
echo RandomString(5);
?>
