Water Horse

We consume about 8 -10 glasses of water in a day. Have you ever thought how much water does a cow need? A cow consumed about 30 -50 gallons of water on a given day. 8. From you, much distance can you smell that aroma of your favourite dish being cooked up? A cow has the ability to catch a smell from a distance of six miles? Too far, isn’t it…

Sometimes the water levels are too high and there is no way to let water out of the tubes. In this instance, there was a major lack of communication and as soon the proper people were notified, the tubes were opened and the water levels went back down. It took about 30 hours from the time the water had taken over my house before it had gone back down again. I can say that I am very thankful that I was able to get myself, a few clothes, and my vehicle out before the flood hit. We had very little…

Odysseus Heroes have always been characters unequivocal in nature: strong, selfless, humble, and generally awe-inspiring. The term has been brought up countless times in literature and human history, and yet the title is often not deserved. This, in particular, is the case with Odysseus, the main character from the epic poem The Odyssey, written by Homer. Odysseus is a man who, through trickery and deceit, managed to make his way home in an arguably unheroic manner. Due to his selfishness,…

Through analysis of major characters in Sophocles’ Philocetes, one can see that an individual’s needs, feelings, or behaviors do not always align with the values of society. The values upheld by society are often times contradictory to those of a certain individual. Our society is flawed and unfortunately, faulty values exist. It is also important to keep in mind whether the individual acts for good or evil. This often times non existing reflection between individual and societal values…

Brian Krebs, founder of the award winning cybersecurity website, krebsonsecurity.com takes us into the dark world of hacking and spamming.

Heroism, an ambiguous word that can be interpreted into numerous definitions, such as “great bravery” or “good deeds.” But when held accountable as a quantity, or a measurement of “how much there is” in an individual, do we define a hero as a character who has the most valiant traits or a character with fewer heroic attributes but to a greater extent? In both situations, Odysseus meets the criteria more thoroughly than Everett does; he inherits more of these characteristics, all to a wider…

The famous legend of the Trojan Horse is timeless, with almost everyone knowing at least the premise of it; a war fought between the Greeks and the Trojans was ended by a false gift of a giant horse statue on wheels, resulting in a victory for the Greeks. Fast forward to 1999 when cyclist Lance Armstrong began his career, not only in cycling but also in drugs. The illegal drugs, PEDs, were used to give Armstrong an edge in his cycling career, despite getting caught in 2012. Some may wonder where…

times to rival the Greek’s work of the Odyssey. Books two and four of Virgil’s work expressed love and pain, cleverness and stupidity, harness and sympathy, as well as many others while telling the haunting stories of the Roman’s side of the Trojan Horse and Queen Dido’s broken heart. In modern times, this duo of viewpoints is expressed daily. A widely talked about example of this in the…

A Great Hero and His Journey Odysseus is Greece’s most quick witted, determined, and gritty hero. The first reason Odysseus is a great victor is due to his quick-wittedness and having a plan for everything and or situation. Odysseus always found a way to get through tough quests, even though it may have seemed impossible to conquer. During the long, treacherous war, Odysseus came up with the plan that would end this bloodshed in triumph for Athens and would go down in history for years to come…
