50 Things Everyone Should Know How To Do Self-reliance is a vital key to living a healthy, productive life. To be self-reliant one must master a basic set of skills, more or less making them a jack of all trades. Contrary to what you may have learned in school, a jack of all trades is far more equipped to deal with life than a specialized master of only one. While not totally comprehensive, here is a list of 50 things everyone should know how to do.

Optical Illusion Pictures at WomansDay.com - Cool Optical Illusion If you’ve ever felt like you go a little cross-eyed after taking a peek at an optical illusion, then you know they can be a pretty intense phenomenon. What your eyes perceive when looking at one of these images is actually a visual illusion; you see the image as something different than what it is because the different cells and receptors in your eyes distinguish images and colors at dissimilar speeds. The eye can only receive a limited amount of visual stimuli, but as your brain constantly processes the visual information, it gives you the illusion of continuous sight. Whether it’s an optical, physiological or cognitive illusion, the design plays a trick on your eyes (and mind). Check out some of the interesting illusions below—but beware, you may not be able to absorb them all in one sitting. Flowing Leaves The brown leaf shapes against a green background make this look as if the entire group is flowing—making waves if you focus on the picture as a whole. Pulsing Vortex Waves Hypnosis
The Men Who Stole the World -TimeFrames- Printout Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2010 By Lev Grossman A decade ago, four young men changed the way the world works. They did this not with laws or guns or money but with software: they had radical, disruptive ideas, which they turned into code, which they released on the Internet for free. These four men, not one of whom finished college, laid the foundations for much of the digital-media environment we currently inhabit. Then, for all intents and purposes, they vanished. In 1999 a Northeastern University freshman named Shawn Fanning wrote Napster, thereby pioneering peer-to-peer file sharing and a new paradigm for consuming media without the intermediary of a big studio or retailer. That same year, a Norwegian teenager named Jon Lech Johansen, working with two other programmers whose identities are still unknown, wrote a program that could decrypt commercial DVDs, and he became internationally infamous as "DVD Jon." In the first half of the 2000s, TIME interviewed each of these programmers.

Photographer Captures An Underwater Dance Of Colors The shapes displayed in Luka Klikovac’s work look like colored smoke, or maybe strange deep-sea creatures, but they’re actually mixtures of colored and black liquids immersed in water. The Serbian photographer’s photo series is called Demersal and was based on the unique motions resulting from the combination of fluids. To create this psychedelic effect, the photographer used nothing but his camera and lights capable of showing the dance of fluid shapes captured by his lenses. Klikovac said that the goal of his work is to create images that allow people to escape from their daily routine and that his underwater shapes should be interpreted like the Rorschach inkblot test.
Flash Professional CS5 * Easing tween animations A motion tween is an animation that is created by specifying different values for an object property in different frames. Flash Pro calculates the values for that property in between those two frames. The term tween comes from the words “in between”. For example, you can place a symbol left of the Stage in frame 1, and move it to the right of the Stage in frame 20. tween span is a group of frames in the Timeline in which an object has one or more properties changed over time. target object of the tween span. property keyframe is a frame within a tween span where you explicitly define one or more property values for the tween target object. In the preceding example of tweening a movie clip from frame 1 to frame 20, frames 1 and 20 are property keyframes. Note: Beginning in Flash Professional CS4, the concepts of a “keyframe” and a “property keyframe” have changed. If a tweened object changes its location on the Stage during the tween, the tween span has a motion path associated with it.
The Propaganda Posters of the 1% Banks and governments own all the money and power thus controlling society and they will do absolutely anything to keep it that way, To top it off we are now paying off there huge debt again, as planned -not a mistake. To be honest I have very little hope for society especially when people are trying to do something about this whether it the right way or not but still trying, only to be met with total denial from all sides. As history has has told us, people only do something when its all or nearly too late and we are close to that point and even have an opportunity that will soon be gone. I consider the polar bear already extinct and in some ways I don’t think people even deserve the polar bear. Anyone that claims to feel bad about it when the bear is truly gone can stick it, because we had our chance but we have already decided financial gain for people who already have most the money is the best option. Nice posters Benjamin Star, did you make them?

Photography Tutorial: A Quick Guide to Understanding Your DSLR Camera Hi guys! With Labor Day weekend coming up, I know a lot of us are going to be out there taking pictures! :) Since we have a long weekend to practice, I wanted to share with you this basic intro to SLR photography. Left: Canon T2i. To start, let’s put your camera in Aperture Priority mode or Shutter Priority mode. 1. Let’s talk a little bit about Aperture. Photos taken with a low aperture let in more light, allowing you to take pictures in situations where there is not much light (like indoors and at night). A low aperture will also give you a shallow depth of field. Canon 50mm f/1.8 f/1.8 1/200 sec ISO 800 In the photo above, the aperture was set to 1.8, a low aperture. Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 f/16 1/60 sec ISO 100 In this picture, the aperture was set to 16, a high aperture, allowing everything to be in focus. Note: Depending on what lens you have, you may not be able to set your aperture much lower than 3.5. Now you try! Set your aperture. Left: Canon XSi. 2. 3. 4. 5. You’re almost there!
