...University. Currently, there are more than 20,000 students are studying in Swinburne university. Now, during the usual time, the opening hours of the library are from 8am to 5pm daily. Except during the examination period, the library is open for 24 hours daily for two weeks or otherwise the library is open from 8am to 5pm daily. As the library is a place for students to do revision, to study, to do assignment, discussion, to look for information and so on. So now that students have requested to extend the library’s opening hours till 12 midnight daily. However, if we were to extend the library opening hours, there will be not enough staff to maintain the extended opening hours. So others are suggesting that we hire part time students to cover the later hours with minimal full time staff. Moreover, some staff members have proposed the idea of using the book drop which can automatically check-in the books returned to the library to replace human staff. So what do you guys think about it. Human resource (Hui Chee): I think that we should hire part-time staff to cover the later hours with minimal full-time staff.

The effects of sleep are not uncommon in fact, back then even till this day sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture in certain camps of certain countries. Not only that, but many victims of sleep deprivation commonly a form of torture used on criminals is used to extract information from them for however long as possible.

...further education after high school struggle to make a decent wage. The connection between education and income has become a reality in the world, which is a good thing, but for those who cant afford it puts them at a huge disadvantage. When I was younger I was fortunate to have two parents who would bring me to and from school everyday and a brother to help me with my homework when I needed it. I was also held accountable for the work I did by my parents and teachers, when I didn’t complete or do a good job on assignments I knew I had to answer to my dad, but this is not the reality for most children in America. A lot of kids do not have the luxury of having their parents bring them to school or even see them at night to help with homework due to long hours or night shifts. Another issue is parents not holding their children accountable for their schoolwork, which is very important because if the child isn’t taught a good work ethic then he/she will carry that into the work force. Another unfortunate factor to children receiving the education they need to be prosperous in society is the...

...Trust Fall My mother and I sat at my grandmother’s kitchen table on Thanksgiving morning discussing what had happened exactly one year ago that day. One year ago Thanksgiving day I broke my finger while rushing to get ready to go to dinner. My mother then jokingly stated “Wouldn't it be crazy if you broke a bone two years in a row, on the same day?” After finishing eating at my Grandma Toni’s house we headed toward the big “Brown family Thanksgiving!” Once we arrive and reunite with our long lost cousins, uncles, and aunts we say grace and dig into our Thanksgiving dinner. My cousins and I rush through our meals so we can quickly start our traditional game of hide ‘n’ go seek. After we finished our dinner we rushed outside so the game could begin. The game had started and Kate-Lynn, Lainey, and I take off to our secret hiding spot, the hayloft in the horse barn! We hid there for around ten minutes in the dimly lite hayloft where the younger children are scared to go. When all the sudden we hear Lainey’s younger brothers Jack and Ace. Her brothers were making their way up the ladder. Our plan had backfired we had thought they wouldn't find us in the hayloft but they have become more brave in the past year. We didn't want to climb down the ladder or they would find us. Lainey, a tall blonde then suggested “Let's go down the side!”...

...every where they go, even to church. So every time I heard my parents invite my siblings to church, they would reply “I will go to church when God touches me.” Hearing this over and over again made me analyze a lot as a child in the gospel. I use to always ask myself “Well God why aren't you touching them? Why aren’t you showing your glory in there lives?” This is when I first started to fight with the Lord. I was a God fearing man every since I was a little boy but I never knew how people can't live without God in there lives. When I was about 7 years old my oldest brother (Andrew) was sent to jail. This crushed my parents and my family especially myself. The night he was sentenced I cried and prayed for him. As I prayed words started to come to mind. Things I couldn't understand but I wrote them down as I cried feeling God presence in my room. As I wrote down these words I heard someone tell me these words are for your brother Andrew. So I waited till he called us since he was allowed one call a day. When he called I opened the bible and gave a short preaching about Jonas and how he didn' t listen to Gods words and now he was locked up in the fish till God said so and compared that to his life. Now he must pray for God himself to take him out of there for he can do what God as been asking him to do. We both wept as I know God was touching him. This is when God confirmed my calling. I wanted to preach his word all over the world. At the...

You work so hard to get better at the sport that you’re in and it seems pointless to even think about giving it up. So which ones do you choose? Katie wakes up each morning, really exhausted and tired from practice that night. Like every morning she wakes up and gets ready, then packs her basketball bag for practice after school.

...SUPERHERO STORY It was the most beautiful morning in sunsweet town...NOT! The birds have woke Lili up through the night. Lili didn’t only have a terrible sleep that night but she was also really sick. She went out last night and when she came back, she was sick because of the amount of littering outside. Yet as always, Lili woke up with a bright smile on her face. There was only one thing that would make Lili feel miserable during the day. It was littering. Littering was like poison to Lili. Whenever Lili sees someone littering, she would stomp her feet all the way back home and feel the tear drops run down her cheeks. The amount of tissues she used when she saw someone litter was equivalent to the amount of garbage on america’s streets. That’s how sad she was when she saw someone litter. Lili woke up gently and headed to the bathroom to wash her face. In fact, all she had to do was grab the clothing hanger that hung on a piece of very thick string and push a little to get to the bathroom downstairs. She grabbed the clothing hanger tight and pushed a little. It took her 5 seconds to decide what hand position she should go in, but it only took her a moment to realize that...

He wants to arrive home after his parents have received the letter from Pencey Prep indicating that Holden has been expelled. "I didn't want to go home or anything till they got it and thoroughly digested it and all. I didn't want to be around when they first got it. My mother gets very hysterical.

Holden tells the reader that his mother is a light sleeper, she can hear a pin drop a mile away.

...but at the same time would cause too many problems. That is why I believe high school shouldn't start an hour later. However, starting school at our normal time is harming students. According to sleep experts, "[t]ypical sleep cycles begin around 11 PM for teenagers and continue through 8 AM "(Start School Later, Inc). This means that students only get around six or seven hours of sleep per school night and wakes students up in the middle of deep sleep. In contrast, parents oppose teens to start later. Mary Carskadon, a professor of psychiatry and human behavior stated, "parents are often reluctant to have teens start later, because they rely on having older children at home in the afternoons to take care of their younger siblings "(Richmond). This is because many...

...Dubai: a playground for the rich and famous? Sex and the City… one of the most famous and fabulous series and movies ever since. Ordinary women can not resist the luxury, glamour, fashion, sex and gossip the four SATC girls are involved in. The first movie was a great success, the second even more. `One week in Abu Dhabi`, as Samantha said, turned out to be more glamorous as one can think of. Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha visited Abu Dhabi, one of the seven Emirates. In this movie everything is soaked in luxury and charm. The Emirates are almost presented like an illusion. But is it actually an illusion? Are the Arabic Emirates to good to be true? Too expensive? A dream to the regular crowd? Dubai, also one of the seven Emirates, is considered to be the most touristic one. According to (bronnen), Dubai has a lot to offer. Architecture, tropical beaches, shopping and culture are just a few examples. Dubai is booming, every year millions of people from all over the world visit this state, 30.000 of which are Dutch (www.ontdekdubai.nl). It is very unlikely that all these people are engaged to a “Sheik” like Samantha was. It seems that the Emirates, and Dubai in particular, are not that inaccessible to the regular crowd as we first thought, are they? To answer this question, the Dutch tourist will be point of reference. Getting there and around Dutch people are very keen on summer holidays. The weather in the Netherlands can be relatively depressing during winter...
