A large part of American history has developed around the idea of personal freedoms. From the very beginning, America has fought towards the belief that every person deserves to choose what they support based on his or her personal preferences. From 2015 to present day, the issue of net neutrality is extremely relevant to nearly every citizen, despite the fact that most don’t even realize what those words mean. Net neutrality is the idea that almost every website on the internet is treated equally and covered in the same payments sent to the ISP, or internet service provider. Without the current parameters requiring net neutrality, ISPs would be able to lock certain internet services behind

Net neutrality, a thing of the past?
The Internet. A place where business, entertainment, and knowledge coexists. A place where only WiFi signals restrict one’s experience. Good day honorable judges, teachers, and fellow classmates. Today I will be discussing about why the FCC must restore net neutrality and ditch its newly implemented freedom abducting law.
Since the nineteen nineties Internet Service Providers have given us unlimited access to the world wide web to over three billion people. Just over three hundred million of these people are North American and two hundred ninety million of those users are American. Since November fourteenth two thousand seventeen those 290 million users

Defending Net Neutrality
The neutrality of the internet has inspired and enabled corporations and individuals to make advancements in applications and services that ultimately contribute to economic growth and progression. Users are entitled to access any lawful content they choose and all internet providers must deal with web traffic fair and equally. The absence of net neutrality regulations presents difficulty as low-income families struggle to afford internet access, which in turn worsens social and economic inequality. Preserving the openness of the internet is a crucial element for a great deal of small businesses in

It also expanded into wholesaling and retailing trade, consumer distribution, rural and small-scale industries, urban credit, training of co-operative personnel etc.The Co-operative Movement has left no sector of the economy untouched.

Ernest Hemingway’s Hills like White Elephants
The short story Hills like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway is a story about a man and woman who are sitting at a bar at a small train station somewhere in Spain. They seem to be having a heated conversation about a mysterious “operation”. The author never explicitly says what the issue is between the man and woman, but it can be assumed it is about a huge and personal decision they have to make because of the literary devices the author uses. Throughout the story the author hints at what the mysterious operation really is. Hemingway uses symbolism, setting, and imagery to convey

Walter Freeman and the Invention of the Lobotomy
In Steely Library’s digital archives, one of the postcards from the Gilliam family collection is entitled Western Kentucky Asylum for the Insane, Hopkinsville, KY. The postcard dates back to 1915 and portrays a beautiful building, complete with red bricks and white columns. Many of the insane asylums around this time were built similarly, but even their picturesque exterior could not hide the horrors which occurred within. Insane asylums built in the early to mid 1900s were still getting on their feet, and many of them encountered problems with patient care early on

Lost Treasure
When I was a child, my late father and I would spend every moment of the summer season on
the sparkling white sand of the beach near our home. We would dance, kicking up the shiny
surface so that the droplets glimmered like diamonds in the sunlight. We would lie on our backs
and stare at the sky, until the swirling clouds began to take on our imaginative shapes mingled
together by our fantastical minds. We would grip imaginary weapons and fight, thrusting swords
like the most violent of fantasy pirates. These unforgettable days went on and on, a never ending
cycle of blue skies, imprinted forever in my mind. My earliest memories are filled with images
of my father in these

How much of a threat does the robotics revolution represent for human employment in New Zealand in the next 30 years?
In order to understand the threats that robotics may pose to human employment in the future, it is important to examine the ways in which robots and computerization are already influencing different employment industries today, and how they have changed our labor practices in the past. If this information is then compared with current trends and statistics in New Zealand’s employment market conclusions can be drawn about how robotics might influence New Zealand employment in the next thirty years.

Comparison Between the Portrayal of Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby in Chapters 1 to 6
Fitzgerald purposefully portrays Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan in contrasting ways to emphasise the variety of money within the American market, during the era in which the novel is set. A major difference between the two men is ‘new money’ and ‘old money’, where Gatsby represents ‘new money’, but Daisy and Tom represent ‘old money’. The contrast between the two comes down to where the money originated from; "Old money" families have fortunes dating from the 19th century or before, have built up powerful and influential social connections and tend to hide their wealth and

Introduccion
A home automation system typically connects controlled devices to a central hub or "gateway". The user interface for control of the system uses either wall-mounted terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface, that may also be accessible off-site through the Internet. Also it will control lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems. When they are connected with the Internet, home devices are an important constituent of the Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, home appliances, and other items embedded
