Gwilian’s eyes shot open. “Today is the big day,” she mumbled nervously to herself. It was the day of her first performance, in front of the whole town! She knew that she was ready for it, but she couldn’t seem to calm her nerves. She sat up and her eyes locked onto her most prized possession; her harp. Gwilian’s harp was the most beautiful musical instrument in her town. It had been a gift from her mother, passed on to her from her dying instructor; a gift reserved only for her best pupil.…

Hitchcock had many other technical devices that he used in order to grab the viewers’ attention, such as having the audience as a voyeur and the MacGuffin. Hitchcock used voyeurism to blur the lines between the innocent and the guilty, as well to put the audience in a position in which they become personally engaged with the characters of the film. Having the audience as a voyeur, was able to put the viewers in the film as a sense just watching a movie. The viewers were in a way transplanted in…

characters. Sadly, most suspense movies of today rely more on special effects than quality acting and dialogue. This is true when it comes to Alfred Hitchcock’s movie Rear Window and its 2007 remake Disturbia. While both movies are interesting and suspenseful, Disturbia failed to capture the charm of its predecessor. In Rear Window, James Steward plays L.B. Jefferies, a photographer who broke his leg taking photographs during a car race. For Jefferies leg to heal, he must stay in his…

There are opportunities for Australian citizens to participate in several stages of the policy cycle. In the following essay I argue that there are various avenues for private citizens to have their voice heard in the area of policy making while perhaps fewer opportunities in the area of policy implementation. I discuss the role of parliamentary committees, think tanks and interest groups as potential avenues for policy influence. Recognising that public servants and politicians are citizens as…

First, I wanted to address user familiarity. According to a recent survey; 25.4% of users are currently using Windows 10 (“OS Platform Statistics”, 2016). That makes it the most widely adopted, modern, OS and the best platform to use in the new office. As at a minimum 1-in-4 employees would already be familiar with the OS. I specifically chose the 64-bit Enterprise version of Windows 10 (W10) to anticipate the needs of the business. The 64-bit version combined with the 6GB of Random Access…

They are both smart phones, they are both at the top of the market, both are greatly desired by people overall, and they are great phones.…

It seems like with the evolution of cell phones and the introduction of smartphones, the world has been taken by storm and has no choice but to adapt to the changing times. Since it was first introduced in 1992 by a company called IBM the smartphone…
