Taking a great selfie can be hard since you're the one in front of and behind the camera, but a little confidence and perfecting these tips can go a long way. Haven't you ever wondered how Kyle Jenner manages to appear picture pefect on instagram, but less appealing in her interviews and candids shot by paparazzi? Or what about the none famous people in your life who look soooo much better in pictures than they do in real life? You might've been thinking, 'maybe they're just photogenic is all,' right? WRONG. The more likely scenario is that they've managed to master these 10 secret tricks to selfie taking. If these tips are any indication, there is definitely a science to taking the perfect selfie.

10. Be Original/Get Creative
The art of taking stand out selfies calls for originality and creativity. One of the Most Liked photos on instagram is Kendall Jenner's selfie where she lies flat on her back on the floor in a white lace dress and has her hair separated into several heart shapes. What drew 2.4 million people to like the photo was not just that the model looked lovely in a white gown, but mainly the unexpected creative element involved. Giving an artsy personalized feel to your selfie will have the same attention-getting results. Remembering to have fun will help your creative flow. Don't be afraid to innovate and pose in ways/settings/expressions that haven't yet been seen before.

9.Find Your Light

Making sure you're facing the light, or standing in good lighting is One Of The Most Important factors of taking a good picture. When the light is hitting the most flattering angels of your face, it helps to show off the features you want to highlight.
At all cost, avoid taking selfies in fluorescent lighting, known to be the most
unflattering scene for any and every skin tone. Not even Halle Berry can pull off fluorescent lighting if she wanted to. Filters can help to save the day and enhance an image if you've captured a decent photo in poor lighting, but in order to gain optimum quality, it's always advised to be sure you're in the most flattering light. Capturing photos while facing the sun is considered a natural filter.

8. Look Your Best/Presentable


 Looking your best doesn't always require a full face of makeup. Some of the best selfies are taken first thing in the morning while you're still bright eyed and bushy tailed. The disheveled hair or a scruffy beard can be pulled off too, as long as you're posing confidently. Confidence really is the main tricks in looking your absolute best, and confidence, or a lack there of, will always translate in photographs. Being presentable goes for your environment as well. you want to make sure nothing distracting is going on in the background like a messy room or a photo bomber. Even an open toilet can be distracting when taking selfies in the bathroom. Make sure you take note of your surroundings within the first few shots to see exactly what your lens frame is picking up. There's nothing worse than taking a great picture of yourself only to notice something distracting that's impossible to edit or crop out.

7. Find Your Most Flattering Angle

Because we all have different bone structures, our most flattering angles will differ.
That means you might not be able to pull of the same angles as your favourite
celebrity (that doesn't mean you can't look cute too). You just have to discover which angles suit you best. If your face is oval or diamond shaped like Jessica Lowndes and Adam Levine, you're likely to get away with any angle especially straight on. If your face is heart shaped like Miranda Kerr's and Jude Law's, you're best suited to turning your chin at a 45 degree angle away from the camera.The same goes if your square shaped like Angelina Jolie and Tom Welling, or even round shaped like Selena Gomez's. No matter your face shape, always experiment with different angles. Quick tip: beauty marks on either side of your face will usually indicate your "good side."

6. Choose A Flattering Filter



 How many of you are guilty of the #nofilter hashtag lie, when you know damm well it took you a good 5 minutes to decides on a decent filter? It's usually pretty obvius when someone has used a filter. The #nofilter hashtag is a desperate attempt at wanting to appear as a natural a beauty as possible, but there really shouldn't be such a stigma attached to filters. Filters are guaranteed to make ALL the difference, no matter how naturally good looking you're wearing to be like a filter. There are ways of tampering with the hue, brightness, and contrast of your selfie-ever so slightly-for it appear filterless. Filters are truly magical, and can help you get away with no make up at all or any other unsightly things you'd like to hide.

5. Take As Many As Possible


If at first you don't succed, try, try ,try and try, again. Then try some more. When it comes to taking the perfect of yourself, practice makes perfect! You really can't take too many, unless your memory card says so, but in that case all you have to do is dellete the ones you don't like. Taking tons of selfies will help learn which angles best flatter you personally and will get you comfortable and more confident in front of the camera. It helps to take selfies privately where you're a lot less self conscious and able to avoid the judgment of prying eyes. Be yourself, let loose, remember to be confident, and most importantly have a good time experimenting. You're not vain if you want to take a good picture of yourself. In fact the most critical people of selfies would find a boost in their self esteem if they mastered the art of taking selfies. Go ahead and encourage the anti-selfie person in your life to take more.

4.Smile/Laugh


 Posing with a warm inviting smile shows off your best future and captures you eternally at one of your very best moments. Smilling makes everyone look more attractive and draws in your attention. You can show offyour teeth, or keep your lips together, as long as you look happy in the shot. An added bonus would be to capture yourself laughing. You look ten timess happier than when you're smilling and a happy face is extremely pleasant to look at You're personality shines when you smile, so do so in as many different ways as you can come up with. Quick tip: Not very single photo has to be a smilling photo. Smilling can be over done and become boring as a result. Choose 1 or 2 of you're favorite smiling selfies to post, then switch it up.

3.Take A close Up


 Taking a picture that crops-in tightly to your face keeps it intimate without you having to show off some skin. Close ups can bring focus to your eyes or a friendly smile.  Coming across a close up shot of someone's face on your timeline is attention grabbing and draws you in instantly. Even more so if the image is rotared. Rotating your selfie forces the viewer to really engage with the photograph. You don't want to get too close to where one of your features becomes a distraction, but you do want to be close enough to at least capture a balanced image of your entire face, hair, and chest area. Keep a pleasant expression when taking close up shots.

2.Hold Your Selfie Against A Miror


 After choosing one of the 500 shots you've taken, go ahead and hold the image against a mirror to help you make last minute editing touches. Holding your selfie against a compact mirror makes a difference for two reasons. A) It helps to reveal any flaws you didn't notice before hand, thus making you better decide which is your good side. Using a mirror to reassess your selfie will also help determine if anything can be tastefully altered with a photoshop app to really enhance the picture.

1.Don't Be Afraid To Photoshop


Kyle Jenner sure isn't. Thanks to photoshop, magazine spreads set these glamourous unattainable beauty standards responsible for so many weakened self estems. Well your self esteem needn't suffer anymore. Tons of stars will admit they don't even look like their magazine shots in real life.  Supermodel Cindy Crawford was once quoted as saying, "I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford." The Importantt tricks is to make the photoshop virtuallity undetectable. It's like a good boob job. Sure, guys Think they're anti fake boobs, but only when it's obvious that work was done. There are tons Of impressive photoshopping apps that will do the work magazines pay thousands for, absolutely free. Apps can even make you appear to be wearing make-up or increase or decrease the size of body parts. The only downside is photo editting can be time consuming, so do as much of the work as possible in real life by following the previous 9 tips, and you won't have to rely so heavily on photoshop.


In many developing countries, corruption is simply a means to an end. The more political turmoil and underlying poverty, the more corrupt leaders and groups rise and govern the rest of the country. In this list of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world in 2015, we see some of the most unstable and unsafe nations around the globe. Most of these ten countries have garnered a high amount of exposure in global news, and reading about them makes us appreciate our democratic freedom a bit more.
The corruption rankings of countries around the world is actually measured by a global entity. There is even an index that gauges the amount of corruption in any given nation. The places on this list have scored among the worst in terms of political, economic, and social corruption and instability, and we are not incredibly surprised by the results. When a country is strapped for money, resources, and developmental stability and growth, it is so much easier for deceitful leaders to take the reins and lead people astray. We may be living in the year 2015, but some of the places on this list seem to transport us back to the dark ages.
10. Eritrea

This is a country that some of us may never have even heard of. This small country shares a border with Sudan and has had a closed-border policy in the past. Recently, they have started opening up to visitors and businesses in the hopes of improving a faltering Gross Domestic Product (about $4 billion.) There are bouts with labor laws and foreign businesses leaders using their presence to gain more power in Eritrea. To add to that situation is the fact that the presidency in Eritrea is extremely repressive. An autocratic ruling is made up of the president and his swarm of corruptive political leaders and advisors, many of whom have little to no experience in politics.
9. Libya
  

Freedom is almost like a foreign term in Libya, where businesses and properties, labor and citizens are scrambling to find some kind of liberty. As most of us have seen in newspapers and on news programs, Libya is an African country that is greatly struggling with political turmoil and uprisings. The country is currently undergoing a subsidy program to help offset the labor and business inefficiency, although a lack of stability and protection has greatly limited freedom in terms of business. As of right now, there is no suitable government entity in stable power, and demonstrations are a regular occurrence for citizens.

8.Uzbekistan

This little known and rarely talked about country is among the most repressed. The president has been in power since the late 1980s, and is adamant about limiting foreign business and investing. This results in a country that lacks resources and enough wealth and stability for its inhabitants. The people rely heavily on agriculture, but have been sucking any nutrients that are left out of the land. Many people do not have suitable, stable, or definitive jobs, and bribes make the political arena not only corrupt, but desperate and depleted of resources and certainty. Foreign companies find Uzbekistan to be wishy-washy and totally unclear on how it is turning things around.

7.Turkmenistan

This country is smushed between some of the most unstable and riotous nations in the world. Bordered by Afghanistan, Iraq, and Uzbekistan, this country ranks as the seventh-most corrupt nation. While the world may recognize Turkmenistan’s secular democracy, the government itself is more like a dictatorship that was formed after the Soviet Union split up. The authoritarian in charge is Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, who has given in to the surrounding corruption of his Middle Eastern counterparts. Much of the economic stability of Turkmenistan is controlled by the government, so a lot of money have seeped into corrupt hands and has also provided absolutely no incentive for foreign investments.


6.Iraq
Here is a country that we may not be too surprised about. Iraq has a laundry list of problems: political turmoil, protests and uprisings, violence and a lack of experienced officials. Bloodshed is a common occurrence, and we would find it nearly impossible to find a nation that would willingly do business with them. With the government’s high rate of corruption, the lack of jobs, and a political structure that continues to crumble, how did Iraq only make it to number six on the list? No one is quite sure what to call the government, as constant uproar and power struggles plague the country. More developed nations are trying to help, but it is definitely a slippery slope.

5.South Sudan


South Sudan has only been a country since 2011, and its beef with the rest of Sudan may explain why it ranks as number five on this list. Over two million people have died in Sudanese conflicts, and with South Sudan being so young, there is not a lot of stability. The government is a breeding ground for corrupt leaders and officials to wield any power they have and further repress the country’s inhabitants. Most people survive through subsistence farming, and most of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product comes from oil, which so many other countries want to take advantage of. It is easy in a country that has no definitive political system or leader.

4.Afghanistan

Another country that we would expect to see on the list, Afghanistan ranks at number four in terms of corruption. Insufficient data means that we are not even quite sure just how corrupt this nation is, but we know that there are tons of economic and political walls blocking the path to real, future change. Freedom on all fronts is stifled, whether it is businesses, governmental power, or economic stability. We can add to the mix drugs, inefficient leadership, and a lack of protection. A string of aggressive leaders has created an aid of danger and fear. With the help of developed nations, perhaps things can turn around.


3.Sudan

It makes sense that this nation has made it to the top three. Considering the violence and fighting that has clouded this country in turmoil and weakness for years, we can see why Sudan is among the most corrupt countries. Sudan does not do business with most of the world, nor does it try to collaborate or stabilize itself with international partners. More than half of Sudan’s population is living in poverty, and any business or economic endeavors are crippled by unskilled and inexperienced officials, corrupt rights, and instability in various respects. Much of the political infrastructure is too informal to make real change.


2.North Korea

North Korea is actually tied for first place with item number one on our list. Clearly, this Asian country is among the most corrupt nation, with its totally closed-off society and repressed citizens. Think of North Korea as a black hole on earth – things get sucked in and nothing comes out. Except turmoil. So much turmoil. The details about North Korea remain sketchy, but it is believed that citizens have access to pretty much nothing and most of the country’s attention and assets go to military efforts. With its closed-off status, it is hard to determine what is happening over there, but all signs point to dark times.


1.Somalia

Sharing the number one slot with North Korea is Somalia. According to the Central Intelligence Agency, Somalia basically has no government, and most of its inhabitants survive by farming or fishing. Somalian pirates are seen in the news for kidnapping passersby in the Indian Ocean, and various tribal groups wreak havoc within the nation. Violence, turmoil, and corruption are three all-too-familiar aspects that Somalian citizens experience on a daily basis. Its collapsing government and internal structure limit our ability to determine just how messed up Somalia really is. Political, social, and economic unrest continue to prevent the country from making truly positive change.

Bad boys have a certain quality that many women can’t resist. They’re mysterious and irresistibly hot. Some bad boys even have a skill or talent, but can’t seem to get it together in the social graces department, which makes them even more intriguing.
Just like in high school, there are cliques in Hollywood. You’ve got the pretty girls that everyone wants to date or emulate, the intellectuals who don’t have time for trivial forms of enjoyment, and the rebel bad boys who look for rules to break. Some of these “bad boys” have made a career out of being naughty, even though many of these celebs are well past their high school years and should probably look into acting like adults for a change.
There are also bad boys who have seen the error of their ways and have made a new start in life. Then again, some Hollywood rebels see no reason to start being law-abiding citizens. After all, their multiple arrests have been working for them so far, right? It’s also clear that the public can’t get enough of hearing stories about these ill-behaved guys, so here’s another article for your reading pleasure. Here are 10 bad boys who haven’t learned their lesson, even after their arrests.

10. Justin Bieber

 In recent months, it seems like Justin Bieber is trying to get his act together, but we’re not so sure yet. The pop star has been on the fast track to fame since his YouTube videos got him noticed by the music industry. Unfortunately, he’s also been on the fast track to destruction due to his questionable behavior. He was arrested for drag racing, and instead of laying low, he continued to stay in the news for vandalism and being drunk in public. Bieber was also in a relationship with former Disney star Selena Gomez, and threw a bit of a tantrum when he was asked about her during a press conference. We’re hoping Bieber gets back to concentrating on his music soon.

9. Christian Bale

                                                                                                                                                             Christian Bale is a talented actor, but has a little problem with controlling his temper. The actor was fired from the film American Psycho for yelling at the cinematographer. He was later rehired, perhaps because he made it plain to movie executives that he’d be perfect for the film. He is also known for his role in Batman: The Dark Knight, but hasn’t exactly been a gentleman in real life. He was arrested for alleged assault and still has a reputation of being pretty difficult to work with. Bale has been acting since he was a teenager, and is also a supporter of organizations like the World Wildlife Fund and Greenpeace. Maybe he can use his concern for environmental issues and preservation of nature to calm him down

8. Lil Wayne

                                                                                                                                                              Rapper Lil Wayne seems like an intelligent and well-rounded guy in interviews, but he takes on a completely different persona at times during his performances and in music videos. He got a lot of criticism when he unintentionally trampled on the U.S. flag while on stage, and he’s made it no secret that he enjoys recreational drugs. He was arrested for possession of a weapon and narcotics, and didn’t stop working on his music when he was locked up. He’s also referred to his time in jail in a number of his songs, stating that he wasn’t worried about the jail time, and just wanted to get back to doing what he loves. Since he never agreed to stop using drugs or carrying weapons, we wouldn’t be surprised if he got arrested again.

7. Mel Gibson

                                                                                                                                                               Mel Gibson is well known for his work in movies like The Patriot and Braveheart. He even produced and directed the film The Passion of The Christ, which sparked a considerable amount of controversy. However, Gibson has been known to make very disparaging remarks that are offensive to people of Jewish heritage, and his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, stated that he was physically and verbally abusive. Gibson was also arrested in 2006 for driving under the influence of alcohol. Clearly he hadn’t learned his lesson about driving drunk, because in 1984 he was prohibited from driving in Ontario after he rear-ended a car.                                                                                                                                       

6. Charles Barkley

                                                                                                                                                              The NBA veteran and sports commentator has also had his share of run-ins with the law. In 2008, Charles Barkley was arrested for a DUI. He was charged a fine of $2,000 and spent 10 days in jail. After his DUI, he took a hiatus from commentating on TNT. Barkley also had an endorsement deal with T Mobile at the time of his arrest, but the company decided not to air the commercials. The former basketball player was also charged with assault after getting into a fight with a guy and breaking his nose. A few years later, companies were apparently willing to give him another chance when it came to endorsements when he became a spokesperson for WeightWatchers.

5. Sean Penn

                                                                                                                                                             Sean Penn is known just as much for his high-profile relationships as he is for his acting. Penn was once married to Madonna, and in the 1980s, he was arrested for assaulting her. This was also the decade that he was arrested for attacking a member of the paparazzi. Sean Penn recently broke up with actress and model Charlize Theron, and is now reportedly dating actress Minka Kelly. Penn does, however, have a softer side. He has two children with former wife and fellow actress Robin Wright-Penn, and is the ambassador at large for the country of Haiti.

4. Tim Allen

                                                                                                                                               Tim Allen, the actor who is perhaps best known for his role on the 1990s sitcom Home Improvement, doesn’t exactly have a clean record. Allen played a slightly dim-witted but well-meaning dad on the show, but was arrested in 1997 for DUI. He was sentenced to a year of probation and entered into a court-ordered rehab. Back in 1978, he was arrested for possession of cocaine. He pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges and served a little over two years behind bars. These days, Tim Allen can be seen on the sitcom Last Man Standing. Allen is also well known for lending his voice talents to the Toy Story Pixar movie series as Buzz Lightyear.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     3. Charlie Sheen                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Charlie Sheen’s smoldering good looks have gotten him pretty far in Hollywood. He is well-known for his role on the hit sitcom Two and A Half Men, but his drug and alcohol abuse led to his dismissal from the show. Sheen’s disparaging remarks towards Chuck Lorre, the show’s creator, didn’t help his case much, either. Charlie Sheen was arrested for domestic violence, drug possession, and made the news several times for his cocaine addiction. It’s clear that the arrest alone didn’t make him change his ways, since he continued to use drugs and left his twin sons in the care of former adult stars instead of hiring a nanny. Sheen hasn’t been in the news too much lately, and we’re hoping this is a sign he’s focusing on getting his life in order.

2. Alec Baldwin

                                                                                                                                               Alec Baldwin, the oldest of the famous Baldwin Brothers, has been arrested for disorderly conduct, and is known for getting into physical altercations with paparazzi. He also referred to his daughter as a “pig” and suggested that she didn’t have the decency or intelligence to answer his phone calls. This is an indication that Alec Baldwin is likely a bad boy in every area of life. The actor, who was once married to Kim Basinger, was also fired from his show on MSNBC, largely due to his bad behavior. Hopefully, Alec will soon realize that his piercing blue eyes and winning smile should only be used for good.                                                                                  1.ChrisBrown                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Chris Brown has been in the news for his arrests and otherwise bad behavior just as much as he’s been in the spotlight for being a talented singer and dancer. We all recall when he was arrested after his physical assault on singer Rihanna. He then went on to lose his temper during a Good Morning America interview and threw a chair out of the window while on the set of the show. It seemed that Brown was improving, until he went to rehab in 2014, got kicked out, and then got into a fight at a club, which landed him back in jail. Then there was that whole scandal that involved him fathering a child with another woman while dating model Karreuche Tran. Maybe fatherhood will help Brown understand that it’s time to turn his “bad boy” card in.

We're a long way from the launch of the new iPhone, people. If you can't wait to find out what it's going to look like, well, the internet never disappoints.
OK - it does if you're looking for actual accurate visuals on the next iPhone, but the concept artists have already been grinding their digital looms into action to start showing us how they think the next version should look:

Bring back the Nano!

 

A slightly older look to things, this concept by Jackson Chung uses new technology to bring the size of the iPhone back down.
With the touch sensitive panels on the side, the phone will enable a low power display to show message or app notifications without needing to waste energy firing up the battery-guzzling screen.
Plus the side controls allow for all new gaming abilities for your digits - that's an idea we can get on board with.

Sharpen up

 

Apparently Apple's subtle curves got it all wrong. What we need is to drop the home button (but keep the space as an homage to the logo) and then make it grippably industrial again.
The always-popular edge to edge display is out in force once more, and Jan-Willem Reusink's idea is still all about the metal. But what about the radio signal eh? That's one for Apple to work out, apparently.
