The Way We Live

The Way We Live Do you ever feel like you cant do just one thing at a time? These days, I cant watch TV (a real TV) without internet on my lap. I cant read or sometimes even sleep without doing errands around the web every once in a while. OK I may be an Internet addict, but I am not alone. According to a recent New York Times blog titled The Rise of the Toilet Texter, 91 percent of people between 28-35 have used their mobile devices while on the toilet. Blame it on all those apps for everything you can think of. As our Internet culture continues to mature, words such as social media fatigue are becoming legitimate concerns. I wasnt fully aware of this problem in my life until our trip to Seoul in my last week of IAP in Korea. South Korea may be the Starcraft capital in the world (with its own serious Internet addiction problem to tackle), but it is also a country with such distinct and concentrated culture that upon exposure, inspires many thoughts about the differences in the ways we live our lives.  One such distinction is the ??? (jimjilbang), which refers to a Korean bathhouse. And it is my encounter with the jimjilbang that showed meit might be time to pencil in some downtime. Although the first public bath house opened in Korea in the 1920s, the Korean bathhouse has a history dating back to the 15th century. The most traditional element in these jimjilbangs are the hut-shaped charcoal kilns with varying temperatures. (I remember going into one that was 50 degrees Celsius or 122 degrees Fahrenheit, which isnt even high in sauna standards; but I was nevertheless taken aback by the number.) The New York Times ran an article last summer on jimjilbangs, and for visual reference, heres a photo from that story. (Photo credit:  Woohae Cho for the International Herald Tribune) While todays bathhouses boast restaurants, spa services, arcades, Internet cafes, movie rooms, etc., the focal point of the jimjilbangs are still the heated kilns that allow hardworking Korean men and women, young and old, to escape the fast-paced demands of modern life. That night in Seoul, our group of MIT students were among the many locals who retreated to the jimjilbang, happy to be sheltered from the brutal winds of winter at the very least. Admission was just 10,000 won, which is a little less than 10 dollars. The entrance fee also came with a set of cotton t-shirt, shorts, and two towels. The bathhouse is open all 24 hours of the day, but signs specify that you can only stay for 12 continuous hours each visit. Thats still pretty darn long. We wondered if and how the Korean bathhouses filter out the homeless population. I wondered if and how similar jimjilbangs can work into American culture. Its also interesting that while many Americans pride on going to the gym regularly, the Koreans go to the bathhouse just as often to relax and sweat toxins out. Americans are notorious workaholics we get 10 vacation days with an additional 10-15 days for full-time employees, which is still almost 10 days fewer than the 34 that South Koreans get. And its not like the American economy is performing extra stellar. We had arrived at 10:30 PM, and there were still families trickling in. Grandmothers, mothers, granddaughters. Young men. Old working men. Another foreigner looking for an authentic Korean experience. We laid inside the kilns, napping, chatting about economic theories (I was just a listener to that conversation), eating hard-boiled eggs, comparing our temporary dwelling to summertime in Las Vegas. We moved from kiln to kiln that escalated in temperature until it was too much to handle. I also clumsily tripped a little on the way out and brushed my forearm against the inner surface of the kiln. Of course a mark appeared soon enough; it would be my souvenir of the night. During the whole experience, I felt like a baked pig. Ive never paid to go somewhere to relax, sweat, and frankly, do nothing. Paying to relax and get pampered may be on the calendar for the affluent or grown-ups working in the real world, but for a student like me, this seemed nonsense. We should be on the go! All the time! Multi-tasking! Weaving in and out of the constantly refreshing feed of life. I closed my eyes and tried to adjust to this mode of doing nothing. Soon I found myself thinking Dear jimjilbang, I respect you for being a time-honored cultural tradition that not only sustains an impact on an entire nation, but also challenges the frenetic way of life were accustomed to today.

The Domestication of the Apple Gift from Central Asia

The domestic apple (Malus domestica Borkh and sometimes known as M. pumila) is one of the most important fruit crops grown in temperate regions worldwide, used for cooking, eating fresh, and cider production. There are 35 species in the genus Malus, part of the Rosaceae family which includes several temperate fruit trees. Apples are one of the most widely distributed of any perennial crop and one of the top 20 most productive crops in the world. A total of 80.8 million tons of apples are produced annually worldwide. The apples domestication history starts in the Tien Shan mountains of Central Asia, at least 4,000 years ago, and probably closer to 10,000. Domestication History Modern apples were domesticated from wild apples, called crabapples. The Old English word crabbe means bitter or sharp-tasting, and that certainly describes them. There were likely three main stages in the use of apples and their eventual domestication, widely separated in time: cider production, domestication and spread, and apple breeding. Crabapple seed remains likely from cider production have been found in numerous Neolithic and Bronze age sites across Eurasia. Apples were first domesticated from the crabapple Malus sieversii Roem somewhere in the Tien Shan mountains of Central Asia (most likely Kazakhstan) between 4,000–10,000 years ago. M. sieversii grows at intermediate elevations between 900–1,600 meters above sea level (3,000–5,200 feet) and is variable in growth habit, height, fruit quality, and fruit size. Domesticated Characteristics There are thousands of apple cultivars today with a wide range of fruit sizes and flavors. The small, sour crabapple was turned into large and sweet apples, as humans selected for large fruits, firm flesh texture, longer shelf life, better post-harvest disease resistance, and reduced bruising during harvest and transportation. Flavor in apples is created by a balance between sugars and acids, both of which have been altered depending on the variety. The domestic apple also has a comparatively lengthy juvenile phase (it takes 5–7 years for apples to begin producing fruit), and the fruit hangs longer on the tree. Unlike crabapples, domesticated apples are self-incompatible, that is to say, they cant self-fertilize, so if you plant the seeds from an apple the resulting tree frequently does not resemble the parent tree. Instead, apples are propagated by grafting rootstocks. The use of dwarfed apple trees as rootstocks allows for the selection and propagation of superior genotypes. Crossing into Europe Apples were spread outside of central Asia by steppe society nomads, who traveled in caravans along ancient trade routes predating the Silk Road. Wild stands along the route were created by seed germination in horse droppings. According to several sources, a 3,800-year-old cuneiform tablet in Mesopotamia illustrates grapevine grafting, and it may well be that grafting technology helped to spread apples into Europe. The tablet itself has not yet been published. As the traders moved the apples outside of central Asia, the apples were crossed with local crabapples such as Malus baccata in Siberia; M. orientalis in the Caucasus, and M. sylvestris in Europe. Evidence of that westward movement from central Asia includes isolated patches of large sweet apples in the Caucasus mountains, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iran, and the Kursk region of European Russia. The earliest evidence for M. domestica in Europe is from the Sammardenchia-Cueis site in northeastern Italy. There a fruit from M. domestica was recovered from a context dated between 6570–5684 RCYBP (cited in Rottoli and Pessina listed below). A 3,000-year-old apple at Navan Fort in Ireland may also be evidence of early apple seedling imports from central Asia. Sweet apple production—grafting, cultivation, harvesting, storage, and the use of dwarf apple trees—is reported in ancient Greece by the 9th century BCE. The Romans learned about apples from the Greeks and then spread the new fruit throughout their empire. Modern Apple Breeding The last step in apple domestication took place only in the last few hundred years when apple breeding became popular. Current apple production worldwide is limited to a few dozen ornamental and edible cultivars, which are treated with high levels of chemical inputs: however, there are many thousands of named domestic apple varieties. Modern breeding practices start with the small set of cultivars and then create new varieties by selecting for a range of qualities: fruit quality (including flavor, taste, and texture), higher productivity, how well they keep over the winter, shorter growing seasons and synchronicity in blooming or fruit ripening, length of cold requirement and cold tolerance, drought tolerance, fruit tenacity, and disease resistance. Apples occupy a central position in folklore, culture, and art in several myths from many western societies (Johnny Appleseed, fairytales featuring witches and poisoned apples, and of course the stories of untrustworthy snakes). Unlike many other crops, new apple types are released and embraced by the marketplace—Zestar and Honeycrisp are a couple of new and successful varieties. In comparison, new grape cultivars are very rare and typically fail to gain new markets. Crabapples Crabapples are still important as sources of variation for apple breeding and food for wildlife and as hedges in agricultural landscapes. There are four extant crabapple species in the old world: M. sieversii in the Tien Shan forests; M. baccata in Siberia; M. orientalis in the Caucasus, and M. sylvestris in Europe. These four wild apple species are distributed across temperate zones in Europe, usually in small low-density patches. Only M. sieversii grows in large forests. Native North American crabapples include M. fusca, M. coronaria, M. angustifolia, and M. ioensis. All of the extant crabapples are edible and were likely used before the spread of cultivated apple, but compared with sweet apples, their fruit are tiny and sour. M. sylvestris fruit are between 1-3 centimeters (.25-1 inches) in diameter; M. baccata are 1 cm, M. orientalis are 2-4 cm (.5-1.5 in). Only M. sieversii, the progenitor fruit for our modern domesticate, can grow up to 8 cm (3 in): sweet apple varieties typically range less than 6 cm (2.5 in) in diameter.

The Health Care System Of America Essay - 2157 Words

The health care system in America is unlike any other. Many Americans go into debt every day because of medical bills and costs. America is the one of the only countries in the world that has its citizens falling into bankruptcy due to healthcare costs. Not only is the healthcare expensive and doesn’t extend care to everyone, the system treats those of different races differently. Health disparities has been a big issue in America’s history since slavery and continues to resonate here to this day. In the film, John Q, it is evident how income and race affect a young child’s ranking in the medical field. Young Mikey needs a new heart but due to racial health disparity and his father’s insurance plan, the hospital board will not put his name on the donor list. In films such as, Sick Around the World and Sick Around America, the health care system in America is shown to be one of the most expensive but least effective. This healthcare system leaves thousands in debt and without medical care. In the book, An American Heath Dilemma, it states, â€Å"wherein nearly 50 percent of the population reported it was having difficulty paying for health care.† (569, Byrd) The book talks about Americans constant struggle of needing health care but not being able to afford it, just like John Archibald in John Q.

Greek Life the Negative College Experience Free Essays

Rachael Susco Mr. Rose ENGL 1302. 13 6 November 2012 Greek Life: The Negative College Experience? Most people do not have the ability to think of college without thinking of some sort of Greek life organization. We will write a custom essay sample on Greek Life: the Negative College Experience or any similar topic only for you Order Now Whether that thought is negative or positive may vary, but it is rare to think of any time in a college of any sort without thinking of a fraternity or a sorority at all. This is to be expected because most of these groups have somewhat dominated their campuses for hundreds of years, or since their particular chapters were formed. Supporters of Greek life, especially of fraternities, argue that being involved in Greek life organizations encourages brotherhood, the development of leadership skills, and the participation in philanthropic organizations throughout the students’ collegiate career. The bonds of brotherhood within fraternities have proven to be some of the strongest bonds among young men across the country. When it comes to supporting each other, it appears that the young men of collegiate fraternities are masters in the field. Whatever problems are faced by one brother can easily be backed up or even repaired completely by another, and the massive amount of time that the members are required to spend with each other due to meetings or rituals or any other function for the particular fraternity does nothing but strengthen the bond that was already set by initiation into the group. It is rare among college campuses, especially at Sam Houston State University, to see a member of a fraternity walking alone or spending any amount of downtime doing anything but socializing with the other members of their organization. This type of bonding can most certainly be considered to be a very positive aspect of participating in a fraternity, especially when the ability build relationships and work together as members of a team is one of the main concepts behind the organizations in the first place. These organizations may seem harmless enough in the settings that are viewed by the public, but if a closer look is taken at specific time periods of brotherhood, especially pledgeship for the newest members of the fraternity, it is obvious that these groups are anything but innocuous. There have been many reports of underage binge drinking at the parties for all different fraternities and requirements of the pledges to consume extremely large and ultimately unsafe amounts of alcohol, all in the hopes of acceptance into the organization and done out of fear of rejection. For example, it has been observed for many years that the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity at Sam Houston State University requires their pledges to finish an entire handle of Jagermeister liquor among themselves within a small window of time, and if they fail to do it properly, they are handed a new bottle and forced to start again. This activity is done on Bid Day, the very first day that the young men announce their desire to join the fraternity. Another example of this type of encouragement of binge drinking would be the two deaths of the pledges of completely different fraternities and two different college campuses during 1997. The first, Scott Krueger, an â€Å"18-year-old Massachusetts Institute of Technology freshman honors student† who died after a party that was thrown off-campus by the â€Å"Phi Gamma Delta fraternity† that Krueger was in the process of pledging (Scrivo 1). His blood alcohol level was a determined to be a â€Å". 1,† which is â€Å"more than five times the legal limit† (Scrivo 1). The second is Benjamin Wynne, a pledge of the â€Å"Sigma Alpha Epsilon† fraternity at Louisiana State University (Scrivo 1). His blood alcohol level after death was reported to be â€Å". 58,† a level that is â€Å"nearly six times the legal limit† (Scrivo 1) . This type of strict enforcement and fear of rejection by the pledges must be taken into account when discussing what constitutes â€Å"brotherhood. † The definition of the word itself is â€Å"the feeling of kinship with and closeness to a group of people or all people. One could easily question how the requirement of new members to binge drink to the point of alcohol poisoning or potentially even death equates what is described so often as â€Å"brotherhood. † Another aspect that must be taken into consideration when defining â€Å"brotherhood† is the racial profiling that has gone into choosing and accepting members into fraternities in the past and how it has translated into today. Many different fraternities were originally founded as specifically one race organizations, such as â€Å"Pi Kappa Alpha,† which was rimarily an â€Å"all-white fraternity† (Black, White 1). Now, there are laws set into place that prohibit â€Å"membership bias an d exclusion based upon race† in both United States educational institutions as well as in the â€Å"corresponding fraternities and sororities† of the institutions, but this brings up the question of whether or not the organizations would be any different in modern times than they were when originally founded (Black, White 1). Are these organizations only accepting racially different members because they are required to by law? This question is very difficult to answer, but is something to consider once again when determining whether or not the term â€Å"brotherhood† is used genuinely or if it should be replaced by something a little more truthful: forced acceptance. Focusing again on the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and their lack of true brotherhood, there was a reported case of a student member of the PKA fraternity at the University of Tennessee being sent to the hospital during the month of September, 2012, with a blood alcohol level â€Å"well over a . ,† induced by the alcohol ingesting practice called â€Å"butt chugging† (Jacobs 1). This practice is more formally known as an â€Å"alcohol enema† and is essentially when an individual ingests alcohol into his or her system through the rectum, where it is then directly absorbed in the intestines (Jacobs 1). By consuming mass amounts of alcohol in this manner, the effects of the liquor â€Å"come quickly and potently† a nd are extremely dangerous for the individual partaking in the practice (Jacobs 1). Also, when members of this particular fraternity are asked about their experiences in the organization so far, all of their answers are overwhelmingly positive and many of them wholeheartedly support the claim that there is absolutely no negative aspect that comes with being involved in a Greek organization. How can a situation so incredibly terrible for the members such as the one that occurred at the University of Tennessee be encourage among the members and still be seen as â€Å"positive† in any way? Anyone with any amount logic or concern for the young men who join these organizations must take situations like this one into account when deciding on whether or not these groups are a positive aspect of the collegiate experience. Although all fraternities across the country are run in different manners and have different sets of rules that, all of them have some sort of executive board or positions that are deemed the leaders of the organization. They tend to have jobs, such as running the meetings, managing the money for the fraternity, filling out necessary paperwork for every different type of function, or taking care of matters of law breaking within the fraternity. Holding this type of position is considered to be prestigious because it means that that particular member is an excellent example of leadership towards their peers, and by being voted into a position of executive power, these leadership qualities are refined by the work required of that position. Refining leadership qualities can be used later on in life in the setting of the adult work environment, which can ultimately lead to better paying jobs and a more impressive, well-respected position in life. Again, this is a nice enough concept, but not necessarily as true as it seems if examined in the actual fraternities. Personal interviews with the members of Tau Kappa Epsilon at Sam Houston State University have revealed that even though a member is elected into position by his peers, his position is not necessarily respected, especially if the elected member is young in both age and amount of years they have been involved in the organization. The amount of time that a member spends within the fraternity ultimately equals the amount of power he holds in comparison to his peers, and according to the members of the TKE fraternity, this type of power tends to overrule the executive position holders regardless of the title that they may hold. This type of thought process will not always be functional or acceptable out in the workforce of the country, and many times if executive position rulings are ignored, the result is a loss of a job or even jail time. If the development of leadership skills is supposed to be a positive aspect of Greek life, then the type of leadership qualities and the acceptance of them should be modified to reflect more real world attributes. Another positive feature of Greek life is that each organization has a particular philanthropy that they participate in and donate funds to every year. This annual participation with so many different organization is in fact one of the most positive aspects that all Greek life organizations have to offer, especially because of all the constructive repercussions that occur because of it. Not only do the fraternities and sororities donate to their particular philanthropic organizations unrelentingly, but they also raise awareness about the many different types of charity groups in the surrounding communities and in the world altogether among the other students of the universities. Each Greek life organization usually has a minimum time span, usually a week or a month, where they try to recruit the help of the students around the university in supporting their particular charity. By having a particular time span, such as â€Å"Movember† for the Delta Tau Delta fraternity which encompasses the whole month of November every year and encourages male students across campus to not shave their facial hair in order to raise awareness about testicular cancer, the organizations are able to plan events and different types of advertising in order to maximize the amount of awareness about their patronage. With all of these differing types of events for the philanthropic organizations, it truly helps to make such types of charitable work more approachable and even more exciting to an entirely new group of unknowing people, such as the non-Greek affiliated students on the campus. It would seem that fraternities and sororities helping out with charitable organizations would be somewhat difficult to undermine and find any negative aspect with, but it most certainly is not that difficult when you consider that most of the Greek life establishments are only participating with these charities because they are forced to by University rule. If the Greek groups were not required by their Universities to participate in at least one philanthropic event every year, it presents the question of whether or not these groups are participating with pure intentions, or if they are only doing it because they are forced to. Something that should also be taken into consideration when comparing the positive aspects against the negative ones is again whether these patronage events are done with purely wholesome intentions of helping out the less fortunate, or if these events are done simply to add on to their future resumes in the hopes of again increasing their potential for better job opportunities. On the surface, it appears that fraternities and Greek life organizations as a whole have many positive aspects, until further inspected and genuinely analyzed. When the majority of an organization’s positive features are required by law or chapter by-laws and the members willingly participating in such dangerous or negative activities, the question of how constructive the organization truly is comes into context and has the ability to destroy any positive reputation that the establishment had to offer in the first place. If the laws and by-laws monitoring and ruling the fraternities were made stronger, or if more people spoke out about all of the negative aspects of the organizations in a more public manner, then the opportunity for such harmful results to come out of such groups that play such a major role in the collegiate experience could be greatly reduced or eliminated overall.

IT Networking Designing for Literature Review- MyAssignmenthelp

Question: Discuss about theIT Networking Designing for Literature Review. Answer: Remote Desktop Access According to this paper [1], every android mobiles can be access the desktop remotely. The desktop mouse and keyboard are accessed by the android mobile. The mouse and keyboards are used to gives the desktop handling and typing functionality. The application part are accessing the desktop, the server requires the PC. In network, the main part of LAN connection is used to connect the one or more devices like android device and computer and it is completed by the entering the port number and IP address. It generated form the both server like computer and android server. Because it implements the socket primitives by using the "NANOHTTOD" protocol. This protocol also access the android devices. The keyboard and mouse graphical usage is used to capturing and controlling the device and it provides the controlling functionality. This protocol use the RFB protocol to transferring the information between the devices. VMC system requires the two types system to do appreciate work and the appl ication of sever is used for machine. This machine is controlled by the client and controller and it is used for supervising the devices by using the android devices. In this paper [2], the remote machine control system is the one of best software tool. This application is used to user access the desktop through the internet and also do the following tasks like checking the users, checking the hardware and accessing the program. The remote machine control system is used to connect the more than one network from the different locations. The frame work engineers are basically depends on the middleware stages to increase the efficiency. The application, proper frame works and middleware frameworks are gives the some reflection to avoid the application designers with the information that is create the circulated programming. Consider the some example like synchronizing, arrange correspondence primitives, heterogeneity, information un-marshalling and marshalling, failure handling and administration query. The java RMI is well known the middle ware stages. This paper [3] describes about the desktop access through mobile phones. It is completely based on the Virtual Network computing. It requires to install the VNC server in the computer or desktop with wireless access. In wireless access the clients can access the platform without any difficulties. The desktop picture should be compacted before it is transmitted to the mobile. It has some additional capabilities based on the survey of the mobiles. It has some alternate options to instantly access the solutions. The current key have the responsibility to manage the network. Twin view helps the clients to view the two locations at the same time. The model is installed using java and it is checked in the java based mobile. It also helps to view the assessments. It also helps to exchange the network management files in the wireless location. The internet system application is implemented at the next level. To exchange the information RFB convention is used. It requires the main structure o f the VNC for implementation process. Because the android applications are used in the world wide level and the framework is created for all the portable gadgets including tablets. They have the ability to access the client desktop through internet. In this paper stated that [4], the users are control and access the remote sever by using the remote desktop protocol. The remote desktop protocol is the powerful protocol. It gives the variety of useful purposes. Remote desktop protocol is developed by Microsoft Corporation and it gives the user with the graphical interface to connect the computer through the network. This protocol provides the desktop control capacities and login. The remote desktop protocol is enforced by the Microsoft Corporation from the protocol families. The remote desktop design has the various benefits compared to other remote desktop design such as ideally transferring the graphic device interface data, and complete the bitmap images. This paper also suggest that the remote collaborating system because that system is actualized and planned the remote desktop protocol structure. The remote collaborating system frame work is used to transport the re encryption design. For example Remote control. The remote co ntrol using the application approach to transferring the all remote desktop protocol users and it provides the replaying and recording the plan to the remote desktop protocol packets. It shows the execution and it gives the system demonstrates. This paper [5] describes about the mobile phones which are connected with the remote desktop. The mobile phones performance is based on the java program execution. The results of the execution method is based on the read and writing of web pages and email. Based on this paper the current trend is based on android applications. In this situation the mobile is used as a remote access computer. The desktop sharing system is used for the remote control access through the network. It has control functions with graphical screens of keyboard, mouse and it has capturing facility by using the device controllers. The entire system is based on the RFB protocol. This protocols is mainly used to share the information within the connected devices. To transmit the information from one port to another, it uses TCP/IP protocol. It has the range from 5900 to 5906. Two types of applications are used in the VNC system for the proper work. The server application is used by the machine and client and cont roller is used to manage this application. This server application is also used to supervise the device. The client side is called as viewer and it is based on the performance. The controlled machine has the main response to monitor the desktop and shared information. It is also used to capture and convert the activities of the user desktop through the RFB protocols messages. In the other side, the server brakes the data and events collected from the client and send it to the self-system. The server is responsible to update the screens with graphics and it must be sent to the desktop view of the client. The users who are having mobile phones can access the desktops directly and it will work well. If the user wants to make a call from the mobile then the connection should be terminated from the network. Critical Thinking To establishing the system connection, the system administrator handle the various problems on the remote desktop protocol [6]. The Remote desktop protocol connecting the remote computer. If remote desktop is disconnected and it show the error message. The error message is, it does not support the Microsoft product. To connect a remote computer, it has some problems are occurred by a system administrator. These are listed below. Misinterpretation of the terminologies and settings. End user unauthorized access Port assignment Setting for Misconfiguration Misinterpretation of the Terminologies and Settings To install a remote computer, first install an aka terminal licensing server on the system. Establishing the remote connection is used to install an aka terminal server or remote desktop session host. The remote connection first establishing the both servers. In out of network, the remote computer is support more than one network concurrently [7]. End user Unauthorized Access To access a remote desktop, the end user has the proper permission but the user groups does not have the proper permission to access the remote system [8]. To user group access the remote computer with the help of the server. The server local security policy provides the facility to allow the user to login. Port assignment In remote desktop access, the port assignment is the main issues. This problem blocking the port number or port assignment on the systems. To solve this problem by using the default port for RDP. The default port number is necessary to ensure the port assignments. The port assignments based on port numbers. The port numbers are based on the three ranges such as user ports, dynamic port and user ports. Commonly all the ports are based on default logical switch. If you want create the new logical switches and it does not have the ports so assign the ports to newly created logical switches. Setting for Misconfiguration Another main problem is limited number of the end user. The limited number of end users are access the remote desktop services [9]. It has the some connection problem. This connection problems are handled by, To enabling the unlimited connections. Setup the Network adapter. The end users are associated with Centre and help desk. First establishing the help desk, it does not need the information to implementation. More than nineteen years ago, the help desk was accepted and established. Then it is difficult to contact colleagues and friends with the help desk assistance. But now, help desk has the some critical issues and it analyzed by the managers. It use the telephonic communication. The help desk technology is the best technology and it manages the various communication type. It also called as service desk. The communication between the people using the non-voice or voice like message and emailing [10]. Source Support The user support strategy must evaluated by the end users based on cost and value. In organization, third party organization outsourcing and support worker are very important. But it is very critical process [11]. The end user support strategy is used for our sourcing and supporting process. In organization, the technical work support the out sourcing process by using the help desks and this process suitable for all the information technologies managements. The managers are resolving this issues in IT industries and the solution is provided by the people. In this problem, the main challenges is to get and find the help desk workers for the out sourcing process and automated products. So analyzing this problem the out sourcing in business industry. The business strategy providing the customer support system and services [12]. Method Support The main decision is depends on the source and it provided by the support given to outsource. The end users contacts are helping the people by using the dedicated help desk [13]. This problem handled by the end user application. The major issue is end user providing the incomplete, inaccurate and obscure information from the help desk because the help desk should support the end user and it leads to the technical support method. The outsourcing support help desk is used to gives the facility to ask the clearing method by the people [14]. Every people contact the support workers through the telephone contact. Telephone contact is used to gives the best solution for the end users and it preferred for the interaction between the support specialist and end user [15]. It is the best opportunity to clarify the issue information to the end users. This telephonic method is used for support process. The support specialist are needs to improve the application confidence and access the resource s [16]. References [1] K. Bhandari, V. Mandole, A. Munde and S.
