It seems that every so often, a memoir shoots up the charts, only to have its journalistic integrity questioned months later as the pendulum swings from adoration to suspicion. From James Frey cowering on Oprah’s couch to “This American Life” debating a warning label for David Sedaris’s essays, the universal truth in nonfiction memoirs is that the accuracy of events will, at some point, be questioned. Now comes an author who may avoid that outcome by promoting transparency over truth. Jenny Lawson’s

The generation of this password is through a predetermined second transformation where inverse transformation is possible. This inverse transformation is used to recover the time-dependent password from the authentication parameter. The authentication system generates an authentication parameter from a set of authentication parameters. Similarly, it generates a password from a set of passwords. This system forwards the OTP to the authenticator. The system generates time-dependent information at

An individual's role in society can vary with the number themes the characters exhibit. When there are signs of fate, cruelties, weaknesses, and desires for justice and catharsis the role of an individual becomes more complicated. In Antigone, most of those themes are shown thus a single person's influence or role on society is very small and complicated to attain.

John Cohan sums up this idea of most succinctly when he states “nothing is so alien to the human mind as the idea of randomness” (cited Gaither and Cavazos-Gaither, 2012, p1224). The biologist on the museum team, due to the Ubiquitous biological nature of apophenia, will have an important role to play in the set up of this aspect of the

However, their efforts are cut short, because Clu plans to kill them before they “destroy” the system that he has perfected. Clu is programmed to micromanage the system, and to rid it of any randomness or imperfections—as instructed by his creator (Kevin Flynn) years before. However, Flynn and Clu have different perceptions on perfection. The biggest example of this in the story was the history of the Isos (Isomophic Algorithems)—a society manifested

The Conquest of Happiness ​Ask yourself if you’re really happy and you might be surprised at what you find. Ask several people at various points in their lives and you will get a different answer. This is the premise behind the film “13 Conversations about One Thing”, a touching, poignant and in some moments, deeply philosophical film, directed by Jill Sprecher. The film interweaves five contemporary stories into a single narrative. It deals with the profound, often unintentional impact that people

PHI 101C HW6 10/18/2012 Qiansongzi Chen 1. How might the constructive nature of your perceptions play a role in what you experience while you’re walking at night through a graveyard said to be visited by spirits of the dead?
