I recently bought a Nikon D40X but threw away the users manual cause I didn't know it was in some box.

How can use it to take a picture like this

What settings and things like that? Thanks.

Why would I feel this way? I saw him from across the room and wanted to stay as far away from him as possible. I don't know why. He was well dressed and I had never met him before. Is he a mirror of the things I hate about myself? I felt that he wasn't liked, even though he was talking to a few people and seemed nice. I just wish he wasn't there. I got this horrible feeling in my stomach. I asked myself if someone felt like this about me, that would hurt. People have felt like this towards me over time. They did their best to ignore me. I sensed that they didn't want to be around me. I never met this guy. What else could it be? Does he remind me of someone In hate? Has this ever happened to you?

This Morning
Written by Semper Fi Reborn

This morning I was awakened,
By a kiss from the Sun.
A ray brushed her lips against me,
And stole my dreams,
Rousing me with her beauty.
I sat up and thanked God.
He said I was welcome,
And that I should enjoy this day He created.
I said Amen!

For this morning,
I was awakened by the vision,
Of the same Sun that Adam saw.
The same Sun that Moses walked under.
The same Sun that Jesus healed under.
The very same Sun that God placed in the sky,
And I wondered,
Why?
Why am I so blessed to see Your creations O' God?
All of the beauty that You,
Have bestowed upon mankind.
You annoint us with Love.
I Thank You, Abba.
For the gift and breath of life,
This Morning.

I remember there being 4 ministries in the book and they had abbreviated forms to be used in newspeak. Something like the Ministry of Truth became Minitrue or something like that.

What were the ministries and what were their abbreviated forms?

.. blackmail ?

Your typical office psychopath in a safety-critical software position has done things like :

swap Left and Right controls for a robot, perhaps a torpedo,
and issued the doctored software perhaps with advice to watch how it works at sea.

doctored algorithms, good heavens, perhaps for surface to air missile software and test software, and "released" the doctored software.

Why would it be blackmail to indicate that this is part of their track record and that you expect improvement.

I just got done reading the Twilight series, and I LOVED them! I like books about romance or fantasy. But I'm not interested into Harry Potter. I'd like a book similar to Twilight or any book recommended for young adults!

I am writing a novel and it has been suggested that it needs chapters, but I'm not so sure. It's only a novella really, just over 30000 words. I've been told that a chapter has to be a mini-plot with a resolution that contributes to the overall story, but I don't think that I have any parts that do that to turn into chapters. Does anyone have any ideas?

In a brightly lit night,
Under the full moon,
There stood a girl,
Of undeniable beauty.

Her hair of ebony,
Her eyes of blue,
Her silk-like skin,
And her crimson lips.

But a flaw there was,
In her perfect being,
She was emotionless,
Practically dead.

Beyond her icy orbs,
You can see nothing,
But complete darkness,
Complete nothingness.

She couldn't laugh,
She couldn't cry,
She couldn't love,
She couldn't live.

She exists without a reason,
She's alive but dead inside,
But what made it nice is,
That she can be hurt no more.

My hypothesis is that first the big bang happened, we lived our lives and then after many billions of years the big crunch appears that turns the universe into what it was before the big bang. However what if time is in a loop, that the big bang and crunch happen time after time and we live our lives again and again without ever knowing we could be living our lives for the trillionth time in a row; making the same choices every time. Does this at all seem possible?
