Farewell2012

Best ofUnusual Place

?t’s amazing to think that my little Hun-gappa is a year old. One year of doing

the hungappa with a total of 24 issues published amounting to over 4800 printed copies. This is it, the last edition for the year. I would like to thank everyone who has submitted something to the gap, especially the regular contributors through-out the year, without you guys there would be no magazine, and from the bottom of my heart I thank you.

Not only is it the last edition for the year but it’s also the last year for a lot of students, I’d like to take this time to wish you guys all the best and hope life takes you to amazing places.

For me this will end my official second year study-ing here, and will be back to do it all again next year. Great. It blows my mind to think that a study year has ended. So.... fast... It really feels like no time at all, it seemed like just yesterday I was un-packing my car ready to start the year. I will prob-ably say the same thing next year when reflecting back at all my years here. I think there is a lesson to be had here, but whatever.

I Make sure you guys end the year with a bang and head down to Final Fling. It’s free thanks to Riv-coll SRC who are forking the bill for you guys so show your appreciation and have a good’in.

Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy of the gap even if it was to throw at someone’s head or pick up some dog poo with and thank you to the loyal readers, you guys are the best, and I know for a fact there is at least one because I give a copy to my mum and make her read it.

Oh, and goodluck with exams (:

Being a Parent

Being a parent is really a challenging job, it’s a continuous process and each and everyday is unique in itself. It’s not that there is a standard procedure to be a good parent, it comes with our experi-ences. Sometimes our children to teach us a number of things of which we were really ignorant for ages.

Their laughter’s, giggles & talks is a natu-ral stress-reliever for us. To raise a child, it’s a great responsibility which can’t be taken for granted. Many parents raise their children the very same way as they themselves were raised by their parents. Life is never still and the needs of the child are directly proportional to the time and indirectly proportional to the de-pendency on the parents. Flexibility and Adaptability is the mantra of success for healthy parent-children relationships.

For parents too, parenthood is a revolv-ing process. It’s not that a parent is expected to know each and everything & be prompt in his actions. In fact he or she is a human being at first & committing mistakes is a natural process. In the same way each child is different, some want to be pampered a lot, some to be cuddled and some want to be a child forever. Never compare your children with other kids or don’t make a comparison between siblings.

A child is not an extension of us. Each child is different and hence behaves differently. Listen to your children and create a friendly atmosphere in home where each and every family member is a friend of one another. No favourite child of a parents, remember to treat each one equally and spend quality time with all your children.

Sometimes I feel that parents are a bit hesitant in their approach in managing the kids. Don’t be afraid of your respon-sibility, enjoy i.e. assure you will have a define feeling. Sometimes I do agree that no matter how must we try hard for our kids but all our efforts go in vain because William Wordsworth has rightly said that “A Child is the father of a man”.

Good parenting is like good car-repair. When it’s done with someone with great tools and who understands his job prop-erly and surely the car will move with a great pace and with lot of efficiency with great mileage. But when same car is done by a less efficient person who has minimal knowledge of car tools, then the same car will give you a lot of trouble and be a nui-sance always.

Whatever is the style of raising kids but the ultimate end-factor is this responsibility is the proper guidance, nourishment, respon-sible, well-being, rather in a nut shell, all round development of the kids. The com-munity & the nation to rely on the kids for its prosperity & wellness.

I would conclude by saying that there are really many challenging jobs in the world but being a parent is the toughest & unpre-dictable job rather calls it as the trickiest job. But if we still some social values like honesty,simplicity,strength,confidence,self-dependent,self-defensive,attitude,determination,in our children, then I am sure that life will be very easy, for us and as well as our children. Make your feelings for your children visible; tell them that you love them unconditionally. Be a role model for your children and see the result, you will be on top of the

07 VFXCLUB UPDATE

It has certainly been a busy year for the CSU Animation and VFX Club! We have hosted draw-ing classes for members, dress up parties galore, a road trip to Melbourne and helping host on the biggest Animation festivals in Australia, AIAF!

This year at AIAF, The Australian International Animation Festival we were inspired and amazed by the amazing animation that is breaking out onto the animation scene. A big thanks and congratulations to the festival directors Malcom Turner, Helen Gibbins and Andrew Hagan. As well as a huge thank you to The Forum 6 Cinema, Craig and staff, for having us.

This year the animators hit the road and went to Melbourne for the Melbourne International Animation Festival. We had the most wonderful time, Staying at YHA. While we weren’t watch-ing animations and attending the educational talks, as well talking to directors themselves, we were experiencing the wonderful city that is Melbourne. Ice-skating, DFO, The Crown Casino, the amazing restaurants and the Victoria Markets (I could kill for some Churros right now). I can’t wait to go next year!!!

We might be the introverts of the School of Com-munication and Creative Industries but we have certainly been busy partying it up this year. In April we dressed up as our favourite flower child or anarchist for “Punks VS Hippies!”A great eve-ning was had by all, getting in touch with nature while rocking out. In July we dove head first into the “Myths and Legends”, people became their favourite character from Legends or their favou-rite hero for a night. As always

The CSU Animation and VFX Club would like to thank Trevor and all his staff at the animators favourite pub, The Home Tavern on Fitzmaurice St, for allowing us to host our shenanigans at his wonderful establishment.

We were also extremely honoured to be wel-comed back to OSKARS this year, with our own categories. Joining Television production, Design for Theatre and Television and the Actors, It was a wonderful night, with a crazy, fun filled night at Romano’s that I’m sure no one was able to re-member. Thank you for having us, and congratu-lations to all the winners!

But the fun isn’t over yet!!! This year we are also proud to host the CSU Animation and Visual effects 2012 Grad show! With doors opening at 7:30 at the Forum 6 Cinema on the 21st of Octo-ber, please come along and see what the gradu-ates have been working on all year for! The 2012 Grad Show promises to be an amazing night, free entry, drinks and nibbles provided.

Well that’s all from me for this year, see you next year, from all of the CSU Animation and VFX Club, we all hope you have a safe and fun break, and good luck to all of those who are graduating!

08As many would know St Martins College and St Francis COllege each year battle it out on the sports field to take

home the inagural Saints Cup. With St Martins College having been victorious in the last two years, 2012 was pro-ving a tough battle. Losing to Frannies in Touch footy was a big lose, but we worked together and were victorious in

the girls Netball, so, it was down to the Marty boys to win the Rugby League and retain the cup for a third year.

We did it? 2012 Victors! What an Epic Achievement!

St Martins 14 defeat St Francis 12

On behalf of everybody who played we would like to congratulate everybody on a stella performance and sport-manship. The game was close and nail bitting at times, which added to the excitment!

Thankyou to Cameron Prien from St Francis and his boys and our very own Hazell Johnston, The finest RA CSU could

have , who without her much hard work we would have been lost... and we would have had no water:/

2013 promises to bring just as much excitement!

What attracts mosquitos?

• Perfumes: Floral and fruity scented ones are most attractive.

• Skin temperature: Mosquitos prefer cooler skin.

• High lactic-acid levels: Eating very salty foods and high-potassium foods will increase these levels (such foods include avocados and bananas).

• Dark clothing: Mosquitos identify dark clothing as being foliage.

• Moisture: Mosquitoes are enticed by perspiration because of the chemicals it contains and also because it increases the humidity around your body. Even small amounts of water will draw mosquitoes, as standing water also allows them to reproduce.

• Carbon dioxide: Having a burning candle or other fire going will always attract mosquitos!

13 Know Your Edible Oil

b. Fatty acids: Fatty acids consist of a chain of carbon atoms (C) strung together to which the hydrogen atoms (H) are attached. Natu-ral fatty acids usually have an even number of carbon atoms (C), as the chains are com-piled from C-C units. The fatty acids are clas-sified according to their chain length (short, medium or long-chain), their degree of satu-ration (saturated or unsaturated) and the position of the double bonds.

c. Saturated fatty acids: If the maximum numbers of hydrogen atoms which the car-bon chains can carry are bonded to the chain, the chains are described as “saturated”. They are very dangerous or harmful for the body in terms of cholesterol formation or deposi-tion.

d. Unsaturated fatty acids: Unsaturated fatty acids are divided into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These are less harmful due to easily breakdown or digested by body.

e. Trans fatty acids: Another form of unsatu-rated fatty acids mainly found in nutritional fats from animal sources. Most harmful form of fat in terms of cardiovasccular diseases.

Quality of edible oilsThere are various available quality tests for measuring the quality of edible oil which is give below in the table, among them 3 are most popular: peroxide value, saponification number and free fatty acids.

Edible oils or cooking oil is one of the types of essential oils, which a purified fat is pre-pared from natural plant sources, generally stable in a liquid form at a room tempera-ture. Essential oil is ones that we must ob-tain from our diet where as non-essential ones are ones which our body produces. Vegetable oil is often used to refer essential oil instead of consisting of just one type of oil, which are edible and non-edible.

Fat and oil

Fats consist of a wide group of triesters of glycerol and fatty acids compounds that are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. Although the words “oils”, “fats” and “lipids” are all used to refer to fats, “oils” is usually used to refer to fats that are liquids at normal room temperature, while “fats” is usually used to refer to fats that are solids at normal room temperature. In other words, fats which are still liquid at temperatures below 20 °C are generally referred to as oils. “Lipids” is used to refer to both liquid and solid fats.

Types of Fats in diet

a. Triglycerides: All fats, whether animal, plant, liquid or solid, have the same struc-ture. The fat molecule always consists of a glycerine (alcohol). This forms the backbone of the fat molecule. The three fatty acids (hy-drocarbon chains) are attached to the glyc-erol molecule. The chemical term for fats is therefore triglyceride. The “tri” represents the three attached fatty acids, the “glyceride” the glyceride molecule to which they are at-tached.

Stability in oils and fatsGenerally, three types of deterioration can occur in oils and fats.

1. Oxidation: Contact of oils and fats with oxygen, present in the atmosphere, causes chemical changes in the product which downgrade the quality.

2. Hydrolysis: The breakdown of fats to fatty acids is promoted by the presence of wa-ter particularly at higher temperatures, also promoted by the action of certain micro-

organisms.3. Contamination: Undesirable contamination may be from residues of a previous mate-rial handled in the equipment, dirt, rain, sea water or through the accidental addition of

a different product.

Unscramble This Word:

16SUPER-DOOPER - - - FUNGAPPA

17The Oxford on-line dictionary states that the word opinion is a noun which means

1. a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge: that, in my opinion, is right the area’s residents share vociferous opinions about the future• [mass noun] the beliefs or views of a group or majority of people: the changing climate of opinion• an estimation of the quality or worth of someone or something: I had a higher opinion of myself than I deserved

2. a statement of advice by an expert on a professional matter: if in doubt, get a second opinion• Law a barrister’s advice on the merits of a case: the solicitor took counsel’s opinion• Law a formal statement of reasons for a judgement given: a dissenting opinion adjudged that the government had the right to protect ‘the symbolic value of the flag’

Let’s take the first meaning “a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge”.

The fact is that many of us express an opinion and believe that because of our opinion others should fall into line with said opinion. If this is not the case and we do not fall into line with modern or fashionable opinion we, those that don’t agree with the opinions of others, may be labelled as bigots, racists, apolitical, theocratic, homophobic, communist or pick any one of the minority groups in the last 2000 years.

In the last 2000 years there have been many generations of the human family and with these gene-rations the rise and fall of opinions that have followed the trend of the so called modern day. The modern day being that particular time that a generation feels that it has raised to its optimum heights in what it sees as progress of the human family.

Some see that there opinions are worth fighting for in the most abhorrent of ways. Some will grow to old age having expressed there opinions on rare occasions, which opinions have been seen as the seeds of wisdom and knowledge. The depth of opinion can start to become belief the depths of which are another article for another day.

Opinion and the forcefulness with which it is put forth are often tempered with age. In my own expe-rience I have found that many of my opinions differ from that of the modern tome we now know as the mass on-line media. Frequently opinions are formulated around the great towers of money and wealth. These two items are a necessity of our modern life. However, when the amount and time to which we invest in gaining them comes to a point to which we ourselves are basing our opinions on them, are we not becoming the Babylonians, Romans or even the Nazis of our modern time. To whit these empires all fell due to the opinions that they had formulated about themselves around there money and wealth, as well as opinions about there longevity and conquests over the natural world.

Should we each be individually mindful of our opinions how they are formulated, how and where they are expressed and what they may or may not start in whatsoever forum they are put forth in?

I think we should.

But, that’s just my opinion.
