Building a Help Desk
Building a Help Desk The first thing I want to talk about is managing a help desk, I think that managing a help desk can be like running an emergency medical center, in a rough neighborhood, with no supplies, during an epidemic. I believe for some time now, help desk workers and their bosses have been surviving under these conditions, performing triage for some internal users, answering basic computing questions for others. But as in health care, practicing preventive care is more efficien...
Building a Passive Wine Cellar
Building a Passive Wine Cellar A cellar may be humble or grand, large or small. But if it is to qualify for name, it must achieve three things. It should be dark, it should be free of vibration and, above all else, and it should reduce both daily and seasonal temperature variations to a minimum. Ideal Cellar Conditions The siting, or placement, of your wine cellar within your home is your first major decision. There are four components of ideal cellar conditions: an absolutely consta...

Breakfast Club Character Evaluations
Breakfast Club Character Evaluations The Breakfast Club was a movie about five very different characters, Claire, Andrew, Brian, Allison, and John Bender. Claire was a popular girl, Andrew was a wrestler (jock), Brian was intellectually gifted, Allison was a basket case, and John Bender was a rebel. On the outside they seem like very different people, in fact they were all socially opposite, but they also shared so much. As the movie starts out, the five teenagers are being punished with...
Breast is best
Breast is best Argumentative Breast is Best If one chooses to have a child, shouldn�t he or she be obligated to do what is best for that child? There are many important choices to make for that child, and some may be more difficult than others. Hospital or home birth? Pampers or Huggies? Crib or family bed? But when it comes to feeding, the choice is clear. Breast-feeding is the best choice that mothers can make for themselves and their child. Not everyone agrees that breast-feeding i...

Borders
Borders Borders are concepts which encompass and exclude. They exist everywhere. Some are literal visible physical lines whereas others go beyond sight and exist in terms of characteristics such as monetary wealth, or even humanity. Over time these boundaries are redefined and in turn change the flow of daily life for the individuals they effect. In many cases it is the powerful governments which are in control of the pen which outline these symbolic and physical lines. However as histo...
Born Gay
Born Gay "Our result says that genes are involved in male sexual orientations, although they certainly do not determine a person's sexual orientation," said Dean Hamer, an author of the study. (St.Louis Dispatch) The growing fad to closely examine gay men and lesbians to find out what causes their emotional and sexual orientation towards members of their own sex has caused a stir in both scientific and religious communities. Many researchers on a quest to reveal the mystery of human sexual...
Bornstein
Bornstein Although Bornstein argues that gender is entirely socially constructed I find it hard to believe that he is completely correct. I do agree that gender is influenced by the world we are born into. I understand that from birth we are partially programmed by our society to become something, but I do not agree that this is the determining factor in what we become as people. I feel that it's only a small part of our modern society (known as traditions) that are fighting to fit us in a ...

Book Report on 1984 by George
Book Report on 1984 by George The book starts off with an interesting first sentence �the clocks were striking 13.� To me this was unusual because there is no 13 on a clock and it is usually considered an unlucky number. I thought it was kind of weird and different compared to what kind of world we are living in today. This is because in London the province of Oceania is where our first and main character Winston Smith lives. There are signs reminding citizens that Big Brother is alw...

These parts are: Part I: Governance, Politics, ...
Book of Job
Book of Job Why Do "Good" People Suffer? Pain and suffering are problems in life that everyone wonders about. Why should a righteous person suffer? Why does God allow his own children to suffer?

These questions imply that human suffering is inconsistent with the love of God. As a God of love He either doesn't have the power to prevent sufferi...
