    The McGrath foundation has given me the opportunity to host a high tea in memory of the cofounder Jane McGrath and anyone who has lost their battle to breast cancer. The tea is set to commence on the 15th of May, I am hoping to encourage the small community to get actively involved. Each year around Australia high teas are set up to honor and remember anyone who has lost their battle, the day is also about having a good time and donating to the foundation to help raise money to go towards cures and other preventions for the disease. I want to prepare foods within a reasonable budget but make them creative, fun but still classy as it is a high tea.…

    The Design Argument Analysis

    In trying to clarify these elements, advocates of the design argument are focused on dismissing an obviously simple clarification: possibility. The elements of request and reason, suitability for human life, even the opportune way of the universe, could all be clarified as a consequence of one tremendous fortuitous event, likened to taking a million six-sided dice and with a solitary toss turning up six on every one of them. The outline contention looks to show that the sensitive equalization of the universe is such that the likelihood of it happening by chance is excessively remote to be even a fractional, not to mention a complete clarification. As an a posteriori contention its utilization of inductive thinking that draws on proof that is all around accessible what's more, this gives the contention enduring…

    Saint Thomas Aquinas was a Catholic Priest in the Dominican Order and a very important medieval philosopher and theologian. He wrote a book, SummaTheologiae, presenting five proofs of God’s existence. Each of Aquina’s arguments begins with an observation that is supposed to be easily understood by everyone. Aquina’s fifth argument for the existence of God is what has come to be called the Argument from Design.…

    What Makes Good Design

    There is not one definite answer to this question or simply one principle that makes a design "good" or "bad". It is the intersection of the principles of design, as well as form and function, that make a good design. In his book, author Tim Samara has general rules for producing good design. However it was said by typographer, David Jury that, "Rules can be broken, but never ignored."…
