What is a MAN?
That should be a simple questoin, but many young men today don’tknow the answer. Listen to the poem one young man penned for Ralph Lewis in an article in the Jan/Feb, 1999 issue of New Man. What is a man? Is he someone who is strong and tall, Or is taut and talented as he plays ball? Is he someone who is hardened and rough, Who smokes and drinks and swears enough?

Many college campus networks would be classified as a MAN because they have multiple buildings spread out geographically, sometimes throughout the community. A MAN is larger than a local area network (LAN) which would typically be found in a corporate office or even in some homes. MANs are also smaller than a Wide Area Network (WAN), which is a network that stretches long distances, often between multiple business sites within different communities. For large companies, the WAN networks they employ can cover the entire globe. MAN networks use a different standard for communications; 802.6 as assigned by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which uses a different bus technology to transmit and receive data than most larger or smaller networks. This allows MAN networks to operate more efficiently than they might if they w
Michael Gurian June 3, 2005 These extracts from “What Could He Be Thinking?” by Dr Michael Gurian give a glimpse of the fascinating gender differences in mental functioning discussed in his book. We plan to post a short series of such extracts, with the author’s permission. Robert Griffith, Editor. Understanding the men in your life is a path to power: power in your home, in your workplace, in your family, and on the street. To delve more deeply into this power, let’s now ask the fundamental question, “What is a man?” and answer it as only nature can. The Biology of Male Identity Have you noticed these things? • Men will tend to put their pursuit of self-worth and personal power first, intimacy second. It’s much more difficult to get a man to put the hands-on care of his family before work at the office that needs to be finished. • Men tend to relate to others with greater degrees of personal independence than women do. Men tend to expect more independent behavior from children than wo
