If you choose to live forever, what would you do with your new time?

Identity Politics :)

In 1995, Bono posed for the cover of the gay magazine The Advocate and began working for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).  Now that she's having a sex change operation, is she still considered gay?  What if, after the operation, she decides she likes men after all?

EVER

How should this "debate community" be defined

Yoohoo! Flip? Volker?  Hadrian? Chris?  Anybody?  Hellooooooooo!

The issue is: This is a good music video?

Atheism isn't quite as compatible as anti-theism as most people beleive.  

Gays are already in the military and the world hasn't come to an end.  So what if they are open about allowing gays in the military?  What ripple would that one little change create?

Keep in mind cost, practicality, etc.

Administrators of the Essembly Alumni community have the ability to cross-pollinate debates within the CreateDebate network. Should that be done here?

Should same-sex unions be formed as marriages or as civil unions. Guess what? Marriages are a civil union

Migrating from QuickBooks to Dynamics 365 Business CentralBoth Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and QuickBooks are accounting-capable software solutions for businesses. Each one provides the core features and functionality required to manage the accounting needs of a small business.Although QuickBooks is a popular accounting software, many small businesses discover the hard way that it is not ideal for firms that are growing. It is restrictive and rigid for dynamic businesses, and adding more licenses and computing power to increase its usage is too expensive.

Implementation of Enterprise Identity and Access Management Identity and access management is a framework of business processes, policies and technologies that facilitates the management of electronic or digital identities. With an IAM framework in place, information technology (IT) managers can control user access to critical information within their organizations. Systems used for IAM include single sign-on systems, two-factor authentication, multifactor authentication and privileged access management. These technologies also provide the ability to securely store identity and profile data as well as data governance functions to ensure that only data that is necessary and relevant is shared.To avoid complexities in the IAM implementation process and to have a clear path of progress while staying true to project goals and outcomes, a stage-wise procedure is recommended.
