How do I make everything white in an image transparent?
I have a very simple black and white outline, something like this picture here:
http://www.clker.com/cliparts/b/8/1/9/1195445405972364367liftarn_Pumpkins_(black_and_white).svg.med.png
I would only need all the white parts to be transparent.
I do have Photoshop CS3 but I'm a real novice to it.
3 super easy ways:
1
Open your file
Go to File>Define Brush Preset
Write a name (sample brush 1 is the default)
Make a new file the same size (or the size you want)
Go to Layer>New
Name your new layer if you want
Select the color you want your lines/dark area to be
Open your brushes
Go to the bottom of your brush menu
Your picture is the last brush
You can change the size with the slider
The dark area will be the color you select. Any variation in shade produces variation in transparency of the color. The white area is totally transparent.
2.
Go to select>color range
You will get an eyedropper tool and a new window
at the bottom of the window, change the setting to "quick mask"
Select the white area
If it is selecting in spots, you can either adjust your fuzzyness slider to be 'more fuzzy', or select the eyedropper tool with the + beside it, and select the remaining color spots.
When you are done, select your magic eraser tool (right-click on the eraser option) adjust the settings to 225 and turn off the 'contiguous' option. Delete the white area by clicking in it.
3
Again, open up your select>color range
Select the black area, adjusting your fuzzyness and adding colors as needed
Copy it
Now go to File>new
The file size should say either "clipboard" or "custom" Note that the file size will be smaller than the one you just had, unless the selected area literally goes to the edge of the file.
On your new file, paste your image
You now have the bottom layer, which is white, and above that a second layer with only the outline on it.
To color under your outline, click on the layer below (you may need to go to Window>Layers to see them) and go to Layer>New
To ink over your outline on a clean layer, create a layer above the one with your outline on it.
If you select a layer, you can change the opacity with the slider on the layers window. You can determine which is visible by clicking on the eye.
The background layer will be locked. Click on the lock logo beside the layer in the layer window. A box will pop up asking you to name the layer, and a default name. Unless you want to type a name click OK.
If you want the outline on a transparent background, either click on the eye to turn the background layer off, or use your magic eraser to delete the background color.

Is The Holocaust True? I Think So. Others Don'T!
The denial of the Holocaust.
By: Skyler hayes
The denial of the holocaust has been taking place since shortly after the Holocaust, but has had a big 'boom' over the past 2 decades! What exactly IS the holocaust denial, and who are the sick people that take place in this? The denial of the holocaust is simple, really. It is a propaganda movement taking place in the USA, Canada, and Western Europe. This group, mainly the Institute for Historical Review (IHR), has been seeking to deny the reality of the Nazi killings of 6 million Jewish people in Europe, during WW2. Although the IHR has the spotlight now, the actual roots of the holocaust denial can be traced back to the Nazi's themselves. They dismissed all of the overwhelming proof of the Holocaust, and even while the Holocaust was still going on!
The IHR was founded in 1979, by Willis Carto. The IHR is a pseudo-academic enterprise where supposed "professors" with NO credentials in history, no formal academic certification in writing, and career anti-Semites, all come together to try and convene new ways to spread anti-Jewish, anti-Israel and, for some, pro, Nazi beliefs.
Here is a common "proof" that no people were murdered by gas in Auschwitz. It is a quote from http://biblebelievers.org.au/holohoax.htm. "Fred A. Leuchter is America's leading specialist on the design and fabrication of execution equipment, including homicidal gas chambers. In 1988, Leuchter scraped samples from the alleged gas chamber walls in Auschwitz, Birkenau and Lublin. Cyanide residue would be clearly evident on all these walls if gassings did occur. To his astonishment, Leuchter found no significant cyanide traces in any one of these rooms.
In 1991, the Polish government repeated these tests to disprove Leuchter's findings, but they as well found no evidence of any gassings ever occurring." What exactly can be said about these findings? Not much, besides the fact that the gas probably does not stick to the wall for such a long time.
A common "fact" about the denial of the holocaust is stating that if the Nazi's had gassed them, they would have died themselves. If one looks closely, the 'gas-chambers' have regular doors and windows, with large gaps. This means it would have contaminated the area. The only way around this would be to say that once the gas leaked outside, it was sterilized.
Perhaps the most intriguing is the autopsy reports. There are none. Not one body has ever been found to have died of gas poisoning.Everybody has seen the pictures of the mass graves. The piles and piles of dead bodies. It is not easy to forget. It is said that most of these people died of typhus or starvation, or even allied bombings. It is even claimed that 'a great many' of those bodies are in fact murdered Germans, not Jews. Around 10 football fields should be packed full of dead bodies to autopsy, but not one has been found.
Schools should probably also investigate the claim that The Diary of Anne Frank is a fake. Portions of the diary were written with a ball point pen, which were not in use during the time of Anne Frank. Despite all of this evidence, it is NOT denied that some form of concentration camps took place, because the evidence is to great. In fact, Israel continues to receive trillions of dollars from all around the world for the gassings during the holocaust. Most Holocaust deniers also use the evidence that says most books about the holocast use sources, and these sources are all ridiculed and disproven, such as the book "One Year in Treblinka". I found that the exact same is true for Holocast deniers.
Auschwitz today is a museum. Part of the museum used to be going inside the gas chamber. It is no longer named the gas chamber, but it is implied. Due to insuffeciant evidence, it was closed down. I personally can't blame them, for all of the ridicule they faced. Not only are gas chambers being dropped from museums, but also things such as "human" lamp-shades, and human soap, which the Nazi's supposedly made. Pretty soon, the entire Holocaust could go straight down the memory hole, and we can not let that happen! Even IF the holocaust is a hoax, it will serve it's purpouse one day, because sure enough, history repeats itself
To review, The Holocaust debate is much like a religous or political debate. It goes in circles, and never really ends. There are to many facts and eyewitness accounts to completely discredit anything. The only thing you can do is take all the information you can, and use it to make the world a better place. It is pointless to try and disuade the viewpoints of another, no matter how open-minded they are. That is the beuty of history.

Scope of Rice Genome Project
INTRODUCTION
Rice has been cultivated for more than 9,000 years. Rice is a largest staple food crop worldwide that is an important food for half the world population providing 20% of calorific content. According to IRRI, World rice production in 2007 was approximately 645 million tons. At least 114 countries grow rice. Asian farmers produce about 90% of the total, with two countries, China and India, growing more than half the total crop. It is expected that the population in Asia will increase by 1.5 times or more in the next 10-20 years. The current production of major food crops is not sufficient to meet the growing demand so that millions of people all over the world are not getting sufficient meals every day. The world rice production must increase by 30% to keep pace with the growing population. However, decrease in farming land, reduction in the level of ground water, change in climate and global warming are resulting in the decreased yield of rice. Rice is also grain is fermented into wine, its straw makes cattle feed, paper, and ropes. Rice oil is used in soap and cosmetics, and seed hulls are used as a fuel. Rice consumes lot of water when compared to other crops. It typically uses up to three times more water than other food crops such as maize or wheat and consumes around 30 percent of the fresh water used for crops worldwide. In conditions where water is scarce, it is important to have crops that can give more yield using limited amounts of water.
Rice has the smallest genome size of all cereals, of around 430 million base pairs of DNA. Rice is considered a model system for plant biology largely due to its compact genome (430 million base pairs on its 12 chromosomes) and evolutionary relationships with other large-genome cereals, such as sorghum (750 Mb), maize (2,500 Mb), barley (5,000 Mb) and wheat (15,000 Mb). Rice is the first plant to be mapped in a working draft form. Rice is a model species for learning about traits such as yield, hybrid vigor, and single and multi-genic disease resistance of all monocots including wheat and corn. Studying the genes of rice is will help us to develop new varieties of rice that will produce greater yields, be more resistant to pests and disease, and grow in different types of climates and soils.
Rice Genome Project
Science and technology has taken a new turn in the field of agriculture especially in the case of cereal crops. Recent research works have paved a way for the production of more yields while the land available for cultivation is constantly decreasing. The sequencing of the rice genome is the greatest milestone, science has taken us to. Researchers are able to develop new variety of rice that is better in quality and more in yield. The rice researchers are also focusing on the developing rice varieties that are having better taste, aroma and high nutrition. This will also fetch good revenue to the farmers.
Genetic research on rice was started in 1990’s. The Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) was started in October 1991 and is an integral part of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) Genome Research Project with the aim of finding the structure and function of the genome of the rice. It is jointly coordinated by the National Institute of Agro biological Sciences (NIAS), a government research institute under MAFF and the Society for Techno-innovation of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (STAFF), a semi-private research organization managed and supported by MAFF and a consortium of some twenty Japanese companies. The research is funded with yearly grants from MAFF and additional funds from the Japan Racing Association (JRA).The first phase of RGP continued till 1997. It was reorganized into a national project in 1998. The research was to analyze all the expressed genes in rice, construction of a genetic map and establishment of a physical map of the genome. Research activities were conducted at the STAFF Institute located in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, about 50 km northeast of Tokyo. During the first phase of the project from 1991 to 1997, STAFF successfully found nucleotide sequences of about 20,000 genes that were expressed in rice and they also established a high-density linkage map of rice with more than 3000 DNA markers accurately positioned in the genome. They reproduced more than 60% of the genome by using these markers to align DNA fragments cloned in yeast artificial chromosome (YAC). With the success of the first phase of the RGP, the MAFF planned for two large-scale projects from 1998 with the aim of completely sequencing rice genome. These projects focused on rice genome sequencing and functional characterization of the genome which later focused on mutant panel project and full-length cDNA project.
The international Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP), a consortium of publicly funded laboratories, began in September 1997, at a workshop held in conjunction with the International Symposium on Plant Molecular Biology in Singapore, to obtain a high quality, map-based sequence of the rice genome using the cultivar Nipponbare of Oryza sativa ssp. japonica. IRGSP is comprised of ten members: Japan, India, United States of America, China, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, France, Brazil, and the United Kingdom. The IRGSP adopts the clone-by-clone shotgun sequencing strategy so that each sequenced clone can be associated with a specific position on the genetic map and adheres to the policy of immediate release of the sequence data to the public domain. The largest IRGSP meeting was held on September 19 and 20, 2000 at Clemson University in South Carolina. Meeting was attended by more than 70 scientists and administrators from Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, China, India, Brazil, France, Canada, and the United States. The meeting was organized by Rod Wing, U.S. IRGSP Representative (Clem-son University), and chaired by Ben Burr, IRGSP Coordinator (Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York), and Takuji Sasaki, Program Director of the Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) in Japan.
Two complementary approaches were used, for construction of sequence-ready physical maps. The Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) used the genomic clones using expressed sequence tags/sequence-tagged sites (EST/STS) and genetic markers from the genetic and transcript maps of rice. The Clemson University Genomics Institute, the Arizona Genomics Institute, and the Arizona Genomics Computational Laboratory used a high-throughput bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) fingerprint and automatic BAC contig assembly system using FPC software, and anchored the assembled contigs on the rice genome by hybridization-based screening. The rice genome project was completed in 2005. The completion of the rice genome sequence will be very helpful in the field of genetics and to combat most of the disease of the mostly consumed crop and also to differentiate between different rice varieties and also for the study of the other monocot crops.
The major events of rice genome project are:-
1991 – Rice genome Project started.
September 1997 - The International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP) was formed.
4th April 2000 - Monsanto announced that the company had completed a working draft of the rice genome, which would be made available to the IRGSP.
September 19 and 20, 2000 – The largest IRGSP meeting to date was held at Clemson University in South Carolina.
9th April 2000 - The University of Washington and China Released Genome Sequence of Rice.
The University of Washington (UW) rice genome project was directed by Dr. Leroy Hood and managed by Dr. Gregory G. Mahairas. The lab included 80 high-throughput DNA sequencers, robotic machines and powerful data processing computers. Monsanto Company financed the research project.
April 1, 2003 - The NIAS has established the Rice Genome Resource Center (RGRC).
December 2004 - The genome sequence of the japonica cultivar Nipponbare was completed by the IRGSP.
August 10, 2005 - On 10th August 2005 Rice Genome Project was completed. Researchers with the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP) published the "finished" DNA blueprint. It was published in Journal Nature on 11th August. It included the location and sequence of over 37,500 protein-encoding genes in 389 million bases of DNA. Rice is the first crop whose genome has been sequenced. Rice genome Project will give valuable information for all scientists worldwide. It will pave a new way for the production of rice resistant variety, more yielding variety. It will also be helpful for the scientists to study other crops that are closely related with the rice such as barley, corn, wheat etc. After making the draft sequence of the japonica in 2002, the IRGSP scientists have increased the quality of the sequence to 95 percent complete at greater than 99 percent accuracy. By comparison, the 3 billion-base-pair human genome, with its 25,000 genes, reached that quality level in 2004, some 3 years after its draft sequence was completed.
August 11, 2005 - The results of Rice Genome Project were published in the issue of Nature.
Major Works:-
July 2002 - the genome of rice blast disease was sequenced. Rice blast disease destroys enough rice to feed 60 million people worldwide. This finding will help in understanding the nature of the disease and will take us to a solution for the rice blast disease so that we can stop the destruction of rice by rice blast disease.
Jan 2003 - Research found that about 40% of rice genome comprises repetitive DNA, known as Junk DNA, similar to that of MITEs. A 430 bp sequence was found to be identical to that of MITE in size and other characteristics. It was named as mPing or miniature ping. japonica rice contains about 70copies of mping while indica rice about 14 copies.
June 2003 - Scientists Buell, Wing and their colleagues compared the proteins of the chromosome 10 with Arabidopsis. Chromosome 10 is the smallest chromosome in rice. They found that about two-third of proteins were similar between both the plants. This similarity was with respect to the long arm of chromosome 10, the short arm being little or no matching. These proteins were produced to bind nucleic acid, cell growth and maintenance, immunity against pathogens and for other biological processes. Researchers also found that on Chromosome 10, 43 different genes were clustered in groups of three. These genes will help the rice to fight against pathogens.
March 2007 - Meyer and his colleagues examined the normal gene expression as well as small ribonucleic acids in rice. They studied gene sequences that represented nearly 47 million mRNA molecules and 3 million small RNA. They found that small RNA plays an important role in gene regulation. "Small RNAs also have been associated with other important biological processes, such as responses to stress," Meyers said. "Many of small RNAs in rice have related sequences in the many important cereal crop plants, including maize and wheat."
October 2007 - Already around 1 billion people have no access to drinking water. It is expected that the demand for rice will increase by 40% by 2040 causing severe water crisis problem study was conducted to grow rice with less water. The study found that the system of rice intensification (SRI) method has helped increase yields by over 30% — four to five tonnes per hectare instead of three tonnes per hectare, while using 40% less water than conventional methods. Another advantage is SRI fields do not emit methane as is the case with the more conventional system of growing rice. Conventional method of rice cultivation uses 60-70 kilos of seeds per hectare; SRI requires just five kilos per hectare. The SRI was based on eight principles which are different to conventional rice cultivation. They include developing nutrient-rich and un-flooded nurseries instead of flooded ones; ensuring wider spacing between rice seedlings; preferring composts or manure to synthetic fertilizers; and managing water carefully to avoid that the plants’ roots are not saturated. If the SRI method was applied to 20 million hectares of land under rice cultivation in India, the country could meet its food grain objectives of 220 million tonnes of grain by 2012 instead of 2050. A conference was held from 3-5 October in Tripura. The conference was jointly organized by the Department of Agriculture of the Government of Tripura, the Directorate of Rice Research (DRR), the Central Rice Research Institute (CRRI), the Directorate of Rice Development (DRD), the Acharya NG Ranga Agriculture University (ANGRAU), the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) Mumbai and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)-ICRISAT Dialogue Project based at ICRISAT, Patancheru. Professor Andy Pereira at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) also worked with colleagues in India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Mexico and The Netherlands to identify, characterize and make use of a gene known as HARDY that improves key features of this important grain crop. The research shows that HARDY contributes to more efficient water use in rice, a primary source of food for more than half of the world's population.
August 2007 - Cell and molecular biology major Tameka Bailey’s studied certain type of proteins and the molecular mechanisms that trigger rice’s response to stressful conditions, such as drought, high salinity and also to rice blast. “The proteins have so much power in the cell, it’s amazing,” Bailey said. “They can change the whole fate of the plant.” Bailey also studied proteins called mitogen-activated protein kinases. These proteins regulate the plants’ response to external stimuli, such as drought or disease. The particular type of kinase Bailey studied is the last one in a cascade of kinases that convert signals from receptors into responses from the plant. She found that these proteins regulate the plants’ production of an acid called abscisic acid, which led to stress tolerance in drought and high salinity conditions, a trait that appears to be conserved in other types of plants. Bailey isolated and characterized these proteins, which are responsible for activating the plant’s response to stress. To give rice plants a boost in their ability to tolerate stressful conditions, Bailey used genetic engineering to create plants that would express a great deal of the protein. To do this, she inserted extra copies of the protein kinase DNA into the DNA of a rice plant. The transgenic rice plant then expressed an abundance of that particular protein. In contrast, Bailey produced transgenic plants where the protein kinase was suppressed to see how the plants responded to stress in the absence of the protein of interest. Her studies showed that the extra boost of protein kinases led to increased drought tolerance. “Those traits are really important to rice farmers,” Bailey said. “Making a direct contribution to this is really a plus to my work.”
CONCLUSION
Rice genome Project which was completed in 2005 has paved a way for new research. It is a model plant for cereal crops. Sequencing of its genome has opened a way for developing new varieties of rice to combat the pests and also to grow with less water. RGP will also help to produce more proteins in rice that can be beneficial to mankind (ex. golden rice). Finding of new proteins and the genes for blast disease will help to produce more yields by manipulating the gene responsible for blast disease.

I was literally at my wits end, my mind was almost blank and I simply did not know what to do. That’s what happens to you when you are in love and have no clue what about what gift to give her on her birthday, said all my friends. Well I would surely appreciate if they came up with some ideas instead of telling what happens when you are in love and what does not. When I was single I used to wonder what the big deal was about giving gifts and celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. Now I know what it is and yes I also know how difficult it is to choose something for your girlfriend. I have often heard about personalized photo gifts and I think this time that’s what I am going to gift to my girlfriend on her birthday. Now the biggest question is which photos will I give her as personalized photo gift? You solve one dilemma and are posed with another!
Oh, before I decide on the picture and the gifts I have another important thing to decide upon. That’s how to get the personalized photo gifts made. I have heard that there are several companies that specialize in making personalized photo gifts for their customers. But the question is which company do I chose to make the best personalized photo gifts for my girlfriend. When you have so many options in hand, you surely are spoiled for choices; this is a real tough job. After much deliberation I settle for a company that specializes in making personalized photo gifts. I am planning to give her not one pic but many pictures as personalized photo gifts after getting it customized from this company. They are professionals and I am confident they know their work perfectly well.
I have many pictures, but all of them are pics of both of us, I don’t have any of her family pics. I want to add some of her family and childhood pictures in the personalized photo gifts. I was told girls have a soft corner for guys who love their family and I decide to cash on this. I go to her parents place (without her knowledge of course!) to collect some of her family and childhood pictures. I am going to make this really special for her and I have a feeling that I am making all the right moves here. I have a feeling this is going to work out wonderfully well for me and most of my feelings turn out to be true.
Now I did not want to give her an album of all the pictures that I had collected. That would be very boring and predictable too. So I decide to customize her childhood picture in a t-shirt, the family picture in a mug and the other pictures in a calendar. She can see the pictures throughout the year. On her birthday I have surprised her with the gifts, I could see that on her face. She had surprise, joy and yes tears of happiness too on her eyes when she saw the things. Personalized photo gifts surely did make my day. Well, who could resist such a warm and caring gift, I knew I could never go wrong with this.
