Arts & Humanities - 11 November 2007

I'm seventeen and I've lost faith in my dream. I have always loved film and always believed to have some sort of gift in what I love. I've always desired to become a film director, but see my dream drifting from me. My dad wants me to be a lawyer or politician because I'm good at public speeking, I'm good at debating and I have a love for english. I have found a good degree at UTS that combines the studies of law and media and believe this is my route. However, I lack comittment and believe that 95% UAI is a crazy figure to reach. I know I can get close but still have my doubts. The dilema that I'm facing is the fact that I'm too lazy, too optomistic in my approach to everything I do and "want to be famous". But the more I think about my situation, the more I feel discouraged, and therefore believe the dream of becoming a famous director is not what I want. Please help me.

Big lies are typically told by office psychopaths.

Big lies would ruin a safety-critical computerization project.

On a safety-critical computerization project an office psychopath would typically tell big lies thereby ruining the project.

What pen do people use to draw picture that will be scanned into computer?

Example: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/80/Garfield.JPG

I noticed that the ink size is just nice and has a consistent thickness. Do they use tablet pc to create cartoon image like this?

If yes, what is the traditional method to modify the picture to look like this when they are scanned into the computer?

Thanks people. Any advice will be appreciated.

The BIG LIE technique
The BIG LIE framework

The bigger the lie the more serious are the conclusions in case you admit that it's a lie.

This simple fact is used by evil in the following way :



an always BIGGER LIE is told. Always more people will believe it.

to calm down troubled minds (with more difficulties to believe the BIG LIE), alibi alternatives are unofficially presented. To make these self cooked "conspiracy theories" and the associated alibi alternatives more credible, parts of the lie will be revealed. In the extreme case almost everything, to make thje troubled minds believe the rest (the objective of the big lie).

No matter how ridiculous these alternatives, these minds will be williing to swallow these alibis, since this provides a way to refuse a reality that would be for them TOO horrible.

to prevent the project from being destroyed from within ?

Wouldn't half the risks to your project be from the "enemy within" ?

Wouldn't there often be large safety-critical projects that are nearly destroyed by the "enemy within" ?

Wouldn't it be true that much of the risk might have been mitigated by simply watching body language ?

Mightn't you need to build in layers of secrecy ?

So would you build build in an initial level of secrecy ?

Then would you watch body language ?

If body language suggests further security and secrecy might be warranted, would you build this in ?

Would you continue to watch body language, and build in further secrecy and security as appropriate ?

The news has sent a frenzy all over the Harry Potter fan sites and all through the internet, about Dumbledore being gay. I am interested to know if anyone looks at Dumbledore differently now, and if so how? If not, why not? Do you like him more or less? Do parts of the book have different meanings for you now?

Me personally (being gay): I have even more admiration for this already amazing character :)

What brilliance does my song desire?
To be the passion of my heart's fire
and ever on the tongues of those who read
bestow the truth that lingers by their breath.
My song is borne from passion's own desire
to be complete, as it were writ by fire,
reveals the nature of its destiny's decree,
becomes its word, the life was given it by me.
And promise of its light is what I want
upon the future of it glowing bright,
as never before it did, before it I did write,
the very soul of me entwined these words,
they sang themselves a song, became the verse,
for heart's are singing with the song I sang
and melodies ne'er heard before sprang
full and loud into their heart's a fire,
to be the one true wish of my desire.

When built-in flash is used, my camera (Nikon D-70) always shows the shutter speed of 60. So, the pictures doesnt come in correct exposure. Most of the times, pictures come dark. So, please help me in setting correct shutter speed / aperature to take out pictures with good light exposure. Without built in flash, i cannot take pics at night and with built-in flash the pictures come out dull with over / under exposure. Plz help.

I studied an African History course in The University last semester and learned that today's sufferings in Africa is due to the invasion of the Europeans who colonized Africa, ruled over them for so many years and exploited all their resources which has today rendered them incapable and subjected them to begging. Countries that were rich in resources included Ghana which was rich in gold, Cote d'Ivoire which was rich in Ivory of the bull and Nigeria which was rich in oil. Also was the Congo Basin rich in minerals. Was this the main reason why they invaded Africa or it was because of a mere discovery. I know for sure that Africans are blaming them today for making them poor and underdeveloped because they took everything they have away, but would not help them when they turn to them for help.
