Personal Narrative-The Wollongo Engine
The guard handed me a manila envelope containing my wallet, and watch, and handed me a bag of
brown pill bottles. "Instructions are in the bag. Follow them or else you'll regret it. Your seventy–
eight year sentence is complete. You're free to go," he ordered while pointing at the door. My shoes
squeaked on the tiles as I walked across the floor. My muscles tremored just before I stepped outside
and shaded my eyes against the day's bright light. The sun looked no different from the day I went
in. But that was seventy–eight years ago. It was also today. My clothes still fit. I looked the same.
Yet, in my mind, seventy–eight years had passed. They called it the Wollongo Engine and it is
today's most advanced biotechnology. Induced time manipulation. ... Show more content on

Introduction
Advances in modern technology means it has become necessary to introduce novel ideas. Apple and
Google have attempted to provide new ways to make technology efficient and convenient. Both
entities have devised ways to improve business purchases and sales as well as offer payment
solutions to everyday consumers.
Apple offers the Apple Pay and Google introduced the Google Wallet. Both applications were
engineered to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For Google, they only allow newer Android phones that run 4.4 KitKat or higher to take advantage
of the full functionality of the system. This automatically rules out older phones that are not
supported. This is also true for Apple Pay because of the lack of NFC in the older phones. However
when comparing, Google Wallet is compatible with a lot more devices.
6. Adding Information
The process of adding information is almost similar for both systems. On the iPhone device you just
have to launch Passbook and you will see an option to add a debit or credit card. For Google Wallet
you can add your card information manually or you can use the camera to capture the card's number
and expiration date.
For things like your name, address and CVV number you still need to enter it manually but it is
quite easy.
7. Bank Issues
There are some issues with Apple Pay as it only works with certain cards from certain banks. This
for now is restricted to Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Another restriction is that it must
also be from a participating bank and for now that group consists of Bank of America, Capital One,
Chase, Citi and Wells Fargo.
There are still some issues within that as it is still not a guarantee for some of the cards in these
banks to work. In contrast Google Wallet works with all debit cards and credit cards. This is a major
plus for the Google Wallet.

Persuasive Essay On Net Neutrality
I initially heard about net neutrality via an Instagram post. (Which is, by the way, the most
millennial thing I've ever written.) It was a link to an online petition to protect net neutrality. In
layman's terms, or the terms from an anarchist teen's photo caption, the government wants to control
how we use the internet. They want to block sites that don't support their agenda! They want to
cOnTrOl YOU! Without net neutrality you will turn into a brainwashed government s l a v e. SIGN
OUR PETITION! SIGN IT! Removing the emotional, angsty, and edgy tones from this plea, they
essentially have the whole idea behind net neutrality correct. Except that the government doesn't
want to control the internet for no reason. There is one reason: money.
But to first understand the battle for an open internet, we must have an exact definition as to what
net neutrality is.
Net neutrality: "the concept that broadband Internet service providers should provide
nondiscriminatory access to Internet content, platforms, etc., and should not manipulate the transfer
of data regardless of its source or destination."
Basically, net neutrality stops internet providers from throttling your connection speeds and
blocking certain sites and promoting others. This definition brought a few questions into my mind,
as an internet fan and a fan of the government not meddling in my business like the Scooby Doo
Gang.
Do we have a right to an open internet?
Is altering net neutrality a sort of censorship?

Personal Narrative: Mistakes
Major Lost Today, most people get judged for the mistake they make. No matter how big or small
the mistake is. Mistakes are made so we can learn from them and grow. Mistakes allow us to not
only learn, but to grow stronger and become a better person. President Reagan said that "mistakes
were made". Everyone makes mistakes and it happens everyday they may not be a big deal but it
still happened. For some however, mistakes are good because they learn what not to do again. I have
learned from many mistakes and have become better because of it. A mistake I have made, learned
from and accepted responsibility for is, losing my favorite Victoria Secret bra. This mistake is
probably the one I will regret for a very long time. So here it is. I was traveling to see my boyfriend

Persuasive Essay On The American Dream
We all see things through our own lights. No one person could have the same point of view as
another. With these different views, everyone has their own opinion on things. So to have a different
view on the American Dream would be normal, just like my view and Mr. Eastvold view on sports
would be different. I'm going to prove that although our meaning of the American Dream are
different, the American Dream still exists it just depends on who you are and what it means to you.
"The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for
everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement." This is the jist of what the
American Dream is all about, people what richer and fuller lives with an opportunity for
achievement or recognition for their hard work. Mom out there can't say that they have felt down
because they don't get recognition for what really happens to keep a family going, I know mine has.
Farmers get recognition when it comes to cropping but I bet unless you are a farmer or related to
one you don't know what happens behind closed doors to make everything happen without error.
Teachers want recognition for what they are teaching your kids and what they have to put up with on
a daily basis, trust me kids are hard to handle, especially in this day in age, regardless of their age.

Rosemary L. Bray's Unafraid Of The Dark
A time of decency and aspiration soon appeared as a time of brutality and outrage. The 1960s were a
period of social revolution and turmoil. Through changes in politics, equality and war, many
Americans acted as a catalyst for change. John F. Kennedy took office as the first Catholic President
of the United States who radiated a symbol of hope. While Martin Luther King Jr. preached notions
of change during the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. The racial divide of blacks and whites were
heightened in society. Protests appeared to demand equal rights for women and to end the war in
Vietnam. In Rosemary L. Bray's memoir, Unafraid of the Dark, Bray openly reflected on the life she
had growing up in a low class family in Chicago. Bray describes the hardships ... Show more

While living in a first–floor apartment on the South Side of Chicago, Bray was one of most African
American children to be raised on welfare. Through much darkness in Bray's adolescence, her
mother was perceived as a symbol of light. Her mother's nurturing nature, spiritual hymns and voice
of reason was a sense of security for Bray. As a family trying to make ends meet, Bray was
surrounded by fear and uncertainty. Even the difference of losing a nickel could consume her with
"the feeling of terror" as "it was not just the fear of getting a beating for losing the money. It was the
anticipation of my mother's disappointment..." (pg.14). Even desperation consumed a bright girl like
Bray to sneak money from carelessly left wallets around school. As a young girl, Bray's parents
wanted to fight back the poverty and ignorant lifestyle that followed them. Bray's early passion for
reading along with her parents strict rules gave her the endurance to succeed. With the acceptance of
a scholarship from Yale University, Bray was in the top percent of blacks to have been given this
opportunity. The expectation of a family on welfare usually prohibited this sort of positive fortune
she received. Yet, Bray demonstrated her achievement of contributing to a cultural understanding to
all generations on welfare, that being raised on very little served as no reason to be misheard or

Society: Advantages And Disadvantages Of A Cashless Society
Cashless Society
Introduction Picture this, you are purchasing your favorite drink and as you reach for your wallet,
the only option you have for paying is electronically. That could become the case if we become a
cashless society. You will see what a cashless society is and what it all entails. With disturbing
someone's privacy to the results of hijacking electronic accounts, cashless societies can have some
advantages and disadvantages. As a list of countries that have already made the surface of topic
when it comes to cashless societies, you will see how much of a difference cash is being used today
as in years before. Cashless societies are creeping up upon people without them realizing it, but
becoming aware of it could help people as they enter into the future.

When using money electronically, such as a debit/credit card, when you lose it you are able to call
and cancel it right when you know it's gone to avoid people hacking your account, but when you
lose money, once it's, it's gone. There's no way of recovering it, unlike debit/credit cards. You are
also able to make sure when using a debit/credit card that you pay only what you are supposed to
when making a payment, unlike cash where a cashier could screw up how much money you receive
back (Dave, 2016).
While those are some advantages of having a cashless society, there are still some disadvantages of
having one as well. A big disadvantage that is commonly known already is hacking and identity
theft. According to The Economics Time Wealth, "with the rising incidence of online fraud, the risk
of hacking will only grow as more people hop on to the digital platform." (Dave, 2016) If we

father is not in the picture and frankly doesn't care about Billy or Lillian. Her mother sings at local

even remembering the guy's name. Kurt. That was it. Kurt Izzo. Kurt Bozo, he thought, as he turned
his head away from a gust of wind.
The church was empty, except for a couple of old women kneeling at the altar. Great, just great, Paul
thought. Now what? If he couldn't shake the curse, if he couldn't break the spell, he had no hope at
all. And with Kurt not there he couldn't do anything. He sat near the back and waited. But what was
he waiting for? A fricking miracle? "That's just about what I need," he mumbled, rolling his eyes.
What a mess. What an absolute mess. He felt a draft, and a black lady came into the church and
walked up the aisle. All these lonely souls, wasting their time, he thought. He gritted his teeth. A
colossal waste of time.
He looked around. The statues of the saints. The votive candles. The old women praying. They were
hardly foreign to him. Everything except prayer, that is. All he knew about prayer was it was for
losers. Like asking Santa Claus for stuff. Make–fricking–believe. He sighed and sat back. He blew
out a breath. Ah, the more he thought about it, the more he figured prayer might not be bad. It just
wasn't for scumbags like him. He'd forfeited his right to pray a long time ago.
Oh no. Here came a priest, one he didn't recognize, down the aisle from the front of the church.
Fricking great. Paul's gut tightened, but the priest passed by. So he just sat there and kept thinking.
No, prayer wasn't for people like him. These old ladies, decent people, could pray. Not him. Prayer
wasn't for monsters.
"I just don't see any way out of this," he said softly, shaking his head, tears welling in his eyes.
He thought about what he'd just done. He was losing his mind. He was sure of it. Absolutely sure of
it. For, had he not just prayed? The insanity of it–as if God would answer him! He felt mocked. He
stood and spit in the aisle. If there were such a thing as a God, it had just mocked him. On his way
out down the aisle, he grabbed his wallet to look for the parking garage ticket before he headed into

A Visit From The Goon Squad Analysis
Every work of literature requires a theme for it to be worth reading. Jennifer Egan's "A Visit from
the Goon Squad" mainly presents the theme of ruin and redemption throughout the novel. This
theme is present alongside with other minor themes like the shift of American culture, and how the
characters self–centered ways are crush by time. All of the major characters will find themselves at
some sort of low point in their lives throughout the novel. Jocelyn becomes addicted to drugs and
spends a great amount of her adult life going in and out of rehab; Benny will lose his record label
contract and will be seen as a failure by most of those still in the industry; and Sasha will show
falling into ruin due to her stealing addiction, self isolation from family, and lack of self–love. The
idea of ruin and redemption is also present alongside the characters setting. Theses characters live in
a post–9/11 New York City, where the towers are destroyed, the streets and rivers are polluted, and
surveillance is amplified, making New York City reflect this theme in a mournful way. The same for
the story "Goodbye, My Love", Ted goes to Italy, and notes the ways Naples is degrading. Theses
images of ruin, that the characters are consciousness of, are a representation of ruin in their own
lives. Despite the self destruction that each character faces throughout the novel, a counterbalance
for the self–destruction is created when a sense of redemption is introduced. Two of the stories main

A few months later in January of 2009 the bit coin network came into existence and later in October
of 2009 an exchange rate was established. Between 2009 and 2011 Bitcoin gained momentum. The
media covered stories and soon enough online merchants began to accept bitcoin as currency. In
October of 2012 The European Central Bank says bitcoin is a "characteristic of the Ponzi Scheme
(Risky Business)".
Later on, in March of 2013, the treasury clarified that exchangers of virtual currency considered
money transmitters are subject to government regulation. Bitcoin was a little hushed until November
of 2013 when industries and central bankers begin to talk more publicly about potential legitimacy
of the currency. On a more up to date note, February of this year marked the date that the U.S. Postal
service decided to look to the bitcoin for a new type of revenue. Perhaps the U.S. Postal service
chose to accept the bitcoin due to some of its perceived advantages; such as the ability to pay and
receive payment instantly worldwide. Bitcoin is also a rather cheap version of currency and carries a

Which falls perfectly with debit cards as none of that problem exists since every transaction swiped
with a card is kept with the bank as stated by Fox Business. However, that fact alone doesn't save
debit cards from their own faulty reasons in using one.
Security and fraud protection is one of the biggest reason why a person should avoid using a debit
card. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act of 1975, both the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and
EFTA (European Free Trade Association) states that if you lose your debit card to theft, you only
have a limited amount of time to report the lost before your entire checking account gets drained
(Consumer Information, The Federal Trade Commission). It can get even worst. CNN interviewed a
science fiction author named Jay Lake, who was battling advanced colon cancer and managed to
fundraise over $20,000 to help battle against the cancer (Pepitone, Julianne). As positive as that
made sound, Lake was enraged when he found out that PayPal froze his account as they needed
documents to approve the large transaction. In fact, PayPal, and among other payment operators has
the right to freeze an account up to 180 days according to their term of service (User Agreement,

Personal Narrative-I-M-Move?
"Go pack. We're moving next week," was the first thing said to me one morning in fourth grade. As
a fourth grader, this sentence was a stab to my little heart. I stared wide eyed at my parents, too
shocked to say anything. The silence between my parents and I felt like an eternity. Breaking the
silence I silently stuttered, "W–why do we have to m–move?" My parents broke eye contact with
me; their faces were filled with shame. My mom looked at me and silently muttered, "You'll
understand when you're older." Turns out, my mom was correct. I was in seventh grade when I
finally understood why I suddenly moved in fourth grade. It wasn't a typical ah–ha moment or a
sudden revelation that appeared to me. No, it was when I had to suddenly move once again. This
time I overheard my parents talking. It turns out that my dad gambled our rent away and we had to
move out. I never knew of this problem before, but suddenly it all clicked; my dad leaving for long
periods at night and how my mom would complain to my dad about her missing money from her
wallet; it all pointed to his gambling problem. Time and time again, my dad's gambling habit proved
to be a negative impact on my family's stability. Because of this problem, my parents argued more

again. Furthermore, I also started distancing myself from others; afraid of breaking the bonds I make
with them. I figured it's better not to get close and create memories with those people compared to

Analysis Of One Art By Elizabeth Bishop
"One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop is a poem with many repetitions of phrases. Bishop reiterates
multiple times the line "the art of losing is not hard to master," all throughout the poem. That is why
the style of repetition refers to the poem. The author creates "One Art," a really fascinating and
agreeable poem because she mentions various things that we lose throughout life. Firstly, she seems
to be saying that it can be easy to lose things, but by the end of the poem she explains how loss is
not as easy as it seems and it can be difficult to overcome those losses. Bishop states loss is not a
disaster because in reality, with enough time we will learn to live without it no matter what it can be.
As the author states in the poem "the art of losing isn't hard to master," it can be difficult to get over
with but with time one will be able to handle it. So many things in life are meant to be lost; it starts
off with something small things and going into bigger things getting misplaced so that it is easier to
react to the loss. The author expresses attitudes and feelings that not everyone may understand.
While some people might interpret her tone as a negative connotation, others might interpret it as a
positive connotation because they may be reading the poem differently. Although loss may have a
negative meaning towards it, Bishop explains her poem with a positive attitude. She uses her own
experience in the poem like when she lost her mother's watch and then she escalated into

People Are Most Likely Afraid Of Health Care Reform
3. People are most likely afraid of health care reform because people only talk about the bad things,
and leave all the good it does out of question. I was once afraid of health care reform because I only
knew the bad things about it, which is what I was told. Not many people say the good things about
something or someone, they just love to talk and make big issues of anything bad. If they learn
about the truth of health reform, they'd probably love the idea. Which brings me to another reason,
which is the fact that most people are afraid of the unknown. If you don't originally know what
health care is, and you now have to have it, you think that it will cause you a lot more problems. The
truth is that you don't know how it will affect you.

One Art
"One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop is a poem about the "Art of Losing." (Elizabeth 1) She repeatedly
says in her poem "The art of losing isn't hard to master," (Elizabeth 1)y this she means that some
people seem to have mastered losing, It happens to them all the time, everyday. One part of the art
that people have to master is "That their loss is no disaster." (Elizabeth 3) People who have master
have realized this and know how to deal with loss, this is why it is an art. Elizabeth says that "so
many things seem to filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster." (Elizabeth 3)This

In the fourth stanza, however, as she notes that she lost her mother's watch and a loved house, she
sounds less willing to accept the loss. In the fifth, she says that losing two cities and an entire
continent still was not a disaster, although such losses sound enormous to the reader, still was not a
disaster, she is trying to make their loss easier. However, when the speaker says that this shows that
the art of losing is "not too hard to master," (Elizabeth 1)her understatement suggests the opposite,
as the poem concludes that the loss "may look like (Write it!) like disaster." The parenthetical "Write
it!" suggests one way to cope with disastrous losses–through art. One example of alliteration is in
line 9 Bishop says "losing farther, losing faster."(Elizabeth 7)In this line we can clearly see her
repeat the letter f twice in a row. One instance of symbolism "Lost door keys" are mentioned
alongside misspent hours, and we see that objects and more abstract things, like time, are viewed
equivalently here. One art is a poem about accepting loss and losing loved ones and loved

Sutton informed me of the following:
– Her ex–boyfriend Donell Brown has been staying with her for approximately the last week.
– When she went to bed last night he was at her residence.
– When she woke up this morning she discovered her wallet was missing and her car was gone

transactions for $40.50 she did not make.
– The total amount used on her debit card was $202.50

pockets when I sit down, while I'm riding to the next station, and when I'm leaving. In the eyes of
behaviorist, I've conditioned myself to incessantly ensure my essentials are with me, because I want
to avoid losing them after having a negative experience. My ability to recall the day I lost my phone
and the entire scenario preceding that is explicit, episodic memory; and from its clarity, it can also
be considered one of my flashbulb memories. Constantly thinking about the day I lost my phone and
associating the train with my phone has created an associative link between "TRAIN" and
"PHONE" in my memory network. Sensory stimuli associated with "TRAIN" thus activates
neighboring nodes; if trains come up in conversations, I'd therefore think about the phone I'd lost
and my current phone. I unconsciously check for my phone even if I'm not on a train. After losing

What A Stealth Gambling System
Introduction
Your first thought when seeing the title of this book is to ask what a stealth gambling system is. This
refers to winning money in a casino without drawing too much attention to yourself.
I first began developing an approach to casino gambling after many losing trips to Las Vegas from
my home in California. In fact, I don 't remember having a single winning trip. After one too many
losing excursions to the gambling Mecca, I began to become curious about which games I was
losing the most money at, and which games I was losing the fewest dollars playing.
On my next trip to Las Vegas, I took a notebook with me. Regardless of the game I played, and
regardless of how much money I won or lost, I wrote it down. I wrote down the ... Show more

I would cash out with both coins and chips. I didn 't always have as much as I started with, but I was
setting limits on my losses without even realizing it. Without being aware of it, I was also setting
limits on the time I spent gambling. I remembered there were moments I getting bored with a certain
game, so I would cash in, write down the information and then went in search of something fun to
do.
To sum up, there were three important things that happened to me when I started recording my
casino play:
1. I slowed down, and stop throwing money around the casino
2. I realized several smaller winnings that made up for smaller losses. I wasn 't attempting to win a
big jackpot.
3. I limited my time playing any game too long, so the casino was no longer grinding away at my
money. There were no marathon slot machine sessions, or too many rolls of the dice or spins of the
roulette wheel.
With these three principles, I began developing systems that would give me my best chance at
winning, but only systems that would bring small or medium sized winnings; amounts that do not
attract a lot of attention. If the amount of money I could potentially win with one of these systems
was going to turn a lot of heads in a casino or result in getting my picture taken, or triggering an IRS
form to sign, then the system was not for me. I was looking for small or medium sized wins over a

Socioeconomic Inequity

The 3rd Essay
We are living in 21th century and people obviously know about social inequity. Normally, they will
think that socioeconomic class is the main effective factor of social inequity. Wealthy people are
treated better because they have money and their social class is higher than the other economic
segments. They also have more privileges than lower economic class people. Unfortunately, it is
very hard to get out of lower economic class; lower economic class people must work very hard to
pay for their living conditions and education which takes almost their salary and they also get paid
less from the wealthy people whom they are working for. In this essay, I will be focusing on how
education effects on socioeconomic mobility.
In the U.S News and World Report, there was an article named "Where Do You Fall in the American

the white–collar workers who have college educations, their salary is falling in between 32,500 to
60,000 a year and they are in lower–middle class people (David Francis.). From this information, we
can understand it is very challenging to have a better life, especially for our children. One of the

How Stress Influences Disease
The two studies that I have chosen are "How Stress Influences Disease: Study Reveals Inflammation
as the Culprit" and "Stress Changes How People Make Decisions." There have been times in my life
where there were days where bad things happened back to back. Things like being late for work, to
then forget your lunch and then forgetting your wallet at home. I have had days like there where
stress seemed to pile on top of each other and not give me a moment to recuperate. "But stressors
can also threaten us. And experiencing severe or prolonged stress may harm us" (Myers, 2015). I
can remember the times that I would think I was stressed to my limits and then I would get sick and
I would say "and to top it off, I am sick!" Over the past year I have

Slope Test Lab Report
Slope class (visual interpretation) (fig–1) shows that according to our model for the area less than or
equal to 5° is flat, so the majority of areas falls within less than 5° areas. It means that only some
areas fall within greater than 5°. The statistical information (fig–2) of slope class shows that the min.
slope is 0°, max is 31.36° and the mean is < 4°. Therefore, generally the majority of the slope areas

Personal Narrative-The Wollongo Engine

  • 1. Personal Narrative-The Wollongo Engine The guard handed me a manila envelope containing my wallet, and watch, and handed me a bag of brown pill bottles. "Instructions are in the bag. Follow them or else you'll regret it. Your seventy– eight year sentence is complete. You're free to go," he ordered while pointing at the door. My shoes squeaked on the tiles as I walked across the floor. My muscles tremored just before I stepped outside and shaded my eyes against the day's bright light. The sun looked no different from the day I went in. But that was seventy–eight years ago. It was also today. My clothes still fit. I looked the same. Yet, in my mind, seventy–eight years had passed. They called it the Wollongo Engine and it is today's most advanced biotechnology. Induced time manipulation. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I didn't leave him a tip and headed into my dump of a house. I half–expected to see everything covered in years of dust and my goldfish floating corpses, but the house was exactly as I'd left it this morning. I headed straight for the drawer with the hidden back and reached for my stash. As soon as my fingers touched the plastic, a wave of nausea swept over me. I tried again and found myself lurching to the sink to puke. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand before laughing uncontrollably and without humour. They'd really done it.

This book or any portion thereof may not be reproduced or used in any manner whatsoever without the express written permission of the publisher except for the use of brief quotations in a book review. Introduction Advances in modern technology means it has become necessary to introduce novel ideas. Apple and Google have attempted to provide new ways to make technology efficient and convenient. Both entities have devised ways to improve business purchases and sales as well as offer payment solutions to everyday consumers. Apple offers the Apple Pay and Google introduced the Google Wallet. Both applications were engineered to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... For Google, they only allow newer Android phones that run 4.4 KitKat or higher to take advantage of the full functionality of the system. This automatically rules out older phones that are not supported. This is also true for Apple Pay because of the lack of NFC in the older phones. However when comparing, Google Wallet is compatible with a lot more devices. 6. Adding Information The process of adding information is almost similar for both systems. On the iPhone device you just have to launch Passbook and you will see an option to add a debit or credit card. For Google Wallet you can add your card information manually or you can use the camera to capture the card's number and expiration date. For things like your name, address and CVV number you still need to enter it manually but it is quite easy. 7. Bank Issues There are some issues with Apple Pay as it only works with certain cards from certain banks. This for now is restricted to Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Another restriction is that it must also be from a participating bank and for now that group consists of Bank of America, Capital One, Chase, Citi and Wells Fargo.

  • 6. Persuasive Essay On Net Neutrality I initially heard about net neutrality via an Instagram post. (Which is, by the way, the most millennial thing I've ever written.) It was a link to an online petition to protect net neutrality. In layman's terms, or the terms from an anarchist teen's photo caption, the government wants to control how we use the internet. They want to block sites that don't support their agenda! They want to cOnTrOl YOU! Without net neutrality you will turn into a brainwashed government s l a v e. SIGN OUR PETITION! SIGN IT! Removing the emotional, angsty, and edgy tones from this plea, they essentially have the whole idea behind net neutrality correct. Except that the government doesn't want to control the internet for no reason. There is one reason: money. But to first understand the battle for an open internet, we must have an exact definition as to what net neutrality is. Net neutrality: "the concept that broadband Internet service providers should provide nondiscriminatory access to Internet content, platforms, etc., and should not manipulate the transfer of data regardless of its source or destination." Basically, net neutrality stops internet providers from throttling your connection speeds and blocking certain sites and promoting others. This definition brought a few questions into my mind, as an internet fan and a fan of the government not meddling in my business like the Scooby Doo Gang. Do we have a right to an open internet? Is altering net neutrality a sort of censorship? ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 8. Personal Narrative: Mistakes Major Lost Today, most people get judged for the mistake they make. No matter how big or small the mistake is. Mistakes are made so we can learn from them and grow. Mistakes allow us to not only learn, but to grow stronger and become a better person. President Reagan said that "mistakes were made". Everyone makes mistakes and it happens everyday they may not be a big deal but it still happened. For some however, mistakes are good because they learn what not to do again. I have learned from many mistakes and have become better because of it. A mistake I have made, learned from and accepted responsibility for is, losing my favorite Victoria Secret bra. This mistake is probably the one I will regret for a very long time. So here it is. I was traveling to see my boyfriend in Greybull, Wyoming. I was planning to stay the night at a friends house who lives in Manderson. I had a bag packed with clothes, my wallet, phone charger and my lost bra. I got to Greybull and switched vehicles and went with my boyfriend and I made the mistakes of bringing ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

This also taught me to make sure I double check before I leave anywhere, and go anywhere. I learned a lot from this mistake and I hope to never lose something this important to me again. I accepted the lost of my favorite bra and realized it was gone. After hours and hours of searching for my bra I realized it was gone. I knew I needed to take responsibility and learn that I made a mistake and need to let it go. I also took responsibility and just went a bought a new bra because I needed to accept that mine was now gone. I realized life is about making mistakes and you just have to learn from ...

  • 10. Persuasive Essay On The American Dream We all see things through our own lights. No one person could have the same point of view as another. With these different views, everyone has their own opinion on things. So to have a different view on the American Dream would be normal, just like my view and Mr. Eastvold view on sports would be different. I'm going to prove that although our meaning of the American Dream are different, the American Dream still exists it just depends on who you are and what it means to you. "The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement." This is the jist of what the American Dream is all about, people what richer and fuller lives with an opportunity for achievement or recognition for their hard work. Mom out there can't say that they have felt down because they don't get recognition for what really happens to keep a family going, I know mine has. Farmers get recognition when it comes to cropping but I bet unless you are a farmer or related to one you don't know what happens behind closed doors to make everything happen without error. Teachers want recognition for what they are teaching your kids and what they have to put up with on a daily basis, trust me kids are hard to handle, especially in this day in age, regardless of their age.

  • 12. Rosemary L. Bray's Unafraid Of The Dark A time of decency and aspiration soon appeared as a time of brutality and outrage. The 1960s were a period of social revolution and turmoil. Through changes in politics, equality and war, many Americans acted as a catalyst for change. John F. Kennedy took office as the first Catholic President of the United States who radiated a symbol of hope. While Martin Luther King Jr. preached notions of change during the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. The racial divide of blacks and whites were heightened in society. Protests appeared to demand equal rights for women and to end the war in Vietnam. In Rosemary L. Bray's memoir, Unafraid of the Dark, Bray openly reflected on the life she had growing up in a low class family in Chicago. Bray describes the hardships ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... While living in a first–floor apartment on the South Side of Chicago, Bray was one of most African American children to be raised on welfare. Through much darkness in Bray's adolescence, her mother was perceived as a symbol of light. Her mother's nurturing nature, spiritual hymns and voice of reason was a sense of security for Bray. As a family trying to make ends meet, Bray was surrounded by fear and uncertainty. Even the difference of losing a nickel could consume her with "the feeling of terror" as "it was not just the fear of getting a beating for losing the money. It was the anticipation of my mother's disappointment..." (pg.14). Even desperation consumed a bright girl like Bray to sneak money from carelessly left wallets around school. As a young girl, Bray's parents wanted to fight back the poverty and ignorant lifestyle that followed them. Bray's early passion for reading along with her parents strict rules gave her the endurance to succeed. With the acceptance of a scholarship from Yale University, Bray was in the top percent of blacks to have been given this opportunity. The expectation of a family on welfare usually prohibited this sort of positive fortune she received. Yet, Bray demonstrated her achievement of contributing to a cultural understanding to all generations on welfare, that being raised on very little served as no reason to be misheard or misrepresented as a ...

Society: Advantages And Disadvantages Of A Cashless Society Cashless Society Introduction Picture this, you are purchasing your favorite drink and as you reach for your wallet, the only option you have for paying is electronically. That could become the case if we become a cashless society. You will see what a cashless society is and what it all entails. With disturbing someone's privacy to the results of hijacking electronic accounts, cashless societies can have some advantages and disadvantages. As a list of countries that have already made the surface of topic when it comes to cashless societies, you will see how much of a difference cash is being used today as in years before. Cashless societies are creeping up upon people without them realizing it, but becoming aware of it could help people as they enter into the future. What is a Cashless Society? What is a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... When using money electronically, such as a debit/credit card, when you lose it you are able to call and cancel it right when you know it's gone to avoid people hacking your account, but when you lose money, once it's, it's gone. There's no way of recovering it, unlike debit/credit cards. You are also able to make sure when using a debit/credit card that you pay only what you are supposed to when making a payment, unlike cash where a cashier could screw up how much money you receive back (Dave, 2016). While those are some advantages of having a cashless society, there are still some disadvantages of having one as well. A big disadvantage that is commonly known already is hacking and identity theft. According to The Economics Time Wealth, "with the rising incidence of online fraud, the risk of hacking will only grow as more people hop on to the digital platform." (Dave, 2016) If we become a cashless society people would have no choice, but to have to join the digital platform, giving hackers lots of opportunities to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Movies tend to make a person forget about the world and for a second believe that they can do anything they want to. I never imagined at such a young age that one movie would have such an influence on my life. I was eight years old when I first saw the movie Glitter and from there on my life was changed. The movie Glitter was released September 21, 2001. In the beginning most people weren't fans of the movie Glitter, they thought it was premature and basic. They were upset with Mariah Carey's acting and the whole plot of the movie, says IMDb. The story line of this movie takes place in New York. In the beginning the main characters are Billy, a biracial child and Billy's mother, Lillian Frank. Billy's father is not in the picture and frankly doesn't care about Billy or Lillian. Her mother sings at local nightclub where she often takes her daughter to sing with her. A few days pass and Lillian is fired from her job, and in order to support her and Billy she looks for Billy's father. After she has found Billy's father, he gives her the money he has in ...

Kurt Izzo. Kurt Bozo, he thought, as he turned his head away from a gust of wind. The church was empty, except for a couple of old women kneeling at the altar. Great, just great, Paul thought. Now what? If he couldn't shake the curse, if he couldn't break the spell, he had no hope at all. And with Kurt not there he couldn't do anything. He sat near the back and waited. But what was he waiting for? A fricking miracle? "That's just about what I need," he mumbled, rolling his eyes. What a mess. What an absolute mess. He felt a draft, and a black lady came into the church and walked up the aisle. All these lonely souls, wasting their time, he thought. He gritted his teeth. A colossal waste of time. He looked around. The statues of the saints. The votive candles. The old women praying. They were hardly foreign to him. Everything except prayer, that is. All he knew about prayer was it was for losers. Like asking Santa Claus for stuff. Make–fricking–believe. He sighed and sat back. He blew out a breath. Ah, the more he thought about it, the more he figured prayer might not be bad. It just wasn't for scumbags like him. He'd forfeited his right to pray a long time ago. Oh no. Here came a priest, one he didn't recognize, down the aisle from the front of the church. Fricking great. Paul's gut tightened, but the priest passed by. So he just sat there and kept thinking. No, prayer wasn't for people like him. These old ladies, decent people, could pray. Not him. Prayer wasn't for monsters. "I just don't see any way out of this," he said softly, shaking his head, tears welling in his eyes. He thought about what he'd just done. He was losing his mind. He was sure of it. Absolutely sure of it. For, had he not just prayed? The insanity of it–as if God would answer him! He felt mocked. He stood and spit in the aisle. If there were such a thing as a God, it had just mocked him. On his way out down the aisle, he grabbed his wallet to look for the parking garage ticket before he headed into the snow, and he saw the edge of a business card sticking out.

  • 26. A Visit From The Goon Squad Analysis Every work of literature requires a theme for it to be worth reading. Jennifer Egan's "A Visit from the Goon Squad" mainly presents the theme of ruin and redemption throughout the novel. This theme is present alongside with other minor themes like the shift of American culture, and how the characters self–centered ways are crush by time. All of the major characters will find themselves at some sort of low point in their lives throughout the novel. Jocelyn becomes addicted to drugs and spends a great amount of her adult life going in and out of rehab; Benny will lose his record label contract and will be seen as a failure by most of those still in the industry; and Sasha will show falling into ruin due to her stealing addiction, self isolation from family, and lack of self–love. The idea of ruin and redemption is also present alongside the characters setting. Theses characters live in a post–9/11 New York City, where the towers are destroyed, the streets and rivers are polluted, and surveillance is amplified, making New York City reflect this theme in a mournful way. The same for the story "Goodbye, My Love", Ted goes to Italy, and notes the ways Naples is degrading. Theses images of ruin, that the characters are consciousness of, are a representation of ruin in their own lives. Despite the self destruction that each character faces throughout the novel, a counterbalance for the self–destruction is created when a sense of redemption is introduced. Two of the stories main ...

Between 2009 and 2011 Bitcoin gained momentum. The media covered stories and soon enough online merchants began to accept bitcoin as currency. In October of 2012 The European Central Bank says bitcoin is a "characteristic of the Ponzi Scheme (Risky Business)". Later on, in March of 2013, the treasury clarified that exchangers of virtual currency considered money transmitters are subject to government regulation. Bitcoin was a little hushed until November of 2013 when industries and central bankers begin to talk more publicly about potential legitimacy of the currency. On a more up to date note, February of this year marked the date that the U.S. Postal service decided to look to the bitcoin for a new type of revenue. Perhaps the U.S. Postal service chose to accept the bitcoin due to some of its perceived advantages; such as the ability to pay and receive payment instantly worldwide. Bitcoin is also a rather cheap version of currency and carries a high level of privacy for users.

Which falls perfectly with debit cards as none of that problem exists since every transaction swiped with a card is kept with the bank as stated by Fox Business. However, that fact alone doesn't save debit cards from their own faulty reasons in using one. Security and fraud protection is one of the biggest reason why a person should avoid using a debit card. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act of 1975, both the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) states that if you lose your debit card to theft, you only have a limited amount of time to report the lost before your entire checking account gets drained (Consumer Information, The Federal Trade Commission).

Upon the start of my forty–two–mile trek, my crew and I left our cell phones and wallets at the base camp, as none of these would have any use in the middle of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The relative solitude of hiking with just nine other members of my troop allowed me to truly take in the lovely sights surrounding me. One specific instance was on the last day of backpacking–when we were returning to the base camp. Before the monumental march back towards the hodgepodge of tents resembling civilization, we had to climb the stony monolith known as the Tooth of Time. This picturesque clump of rocks looks as it sounds: a big, rocky chomper jutting out from the surrounding sylvan mountains. From the base camp and a multitude of points throughout the hike, the Tooth seemed minuscule, but this perspective radically changed when I was scaling its side at a forty–five–degree angle. With a tinge of fear, I continued upward until I completely ascended the nine thousand and three foot peak. Atop this summit, a majestic panorama of land and sky pleasantly intruded my eyes.

  • 40. Analysis Of One Art By Elizabeth Bishop "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop is a poem with many repetitions of phrases. Bishop reiterates multiple times the line "the art of losing is not hard to master," all throughout the poem. That is why the style of repetition refers to the poem. The author creates "One Art," a really fascinating and agreeable poem because she mentions various things that we lose throughout life. Firstly, she seems to be saying that it can be easy to lose things, but by the end of the poem she explains how loss is not as easy as it seems and it can be difficult to overcome those losses. Bishop states loss is not a disaster because in reality, with enough time we will learn to live without it no matter what it can be. As the author states in the poem "the art of losing isn't hard to master," it can be difficult to get over with but with time one will be able to handle it. So many things in life are meant to be lost; it starts off with something small things and going into bigger things getting misplaced so that it is easier to react to the loss. The author expresses attitudes and feelings that not everyone may understand. While some people might interpret her tone as a negative connotation, others might interpret it as a positive connotation because they may be reading the poem differently. Although loss may have a negative meaning towards it, Bishop explains her poem with a positive attitude. She uses her own experience in the poem like when she lost her mother's watch and then she escalated into ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Not many people say the good things about something or someone, they just love to talk and make big issues of anything bad.

In the fifth, she says that losing two cities and an entire continent still was not a disaster, although such losses sound enormous to the reader, still was not a disaster, she is trying to make their loss easier. However, when the speaker says that this shows that the art of losing is "not too hard to master," (Elizabeth 1)her understatement suggests the opposite, as the poem concludes that the loss "may look like (Write it!) like disaster." The parenthetical "Write it!" suggests one way to cope with disastrous losses–through art.

In the eyes of behaviorist, I've conditioned myself to incessantly ensure my essentials are with me, because I want to avoid losing them after having a negative experience. My ability to recall the day I lost my phone and the entire scenario preceding that is explicit, episodic memory; and from its clarity, it can also be considered one of my flashbulb memories.

This refers to winning money in a casino without drawing too much attention to yourself. I first began developing an approach to casino gambling after many losing trips to Las Vegas from my home in California. In fact, I don 't remember having a single winning trip. After one too many losing excursions to the gambling Mecca, I began to become curious about which games I was losing the most money at, and which games I was losing the fewest dollars playing. On my next trip to Las Vegas, I took a notebook with me. Regardless of the game I played, and regardless of how much money I won or lost, I wrote it down. I wrote down the ...

Without being aware of it, I was also setting limits on the time I spent gambling. I remembered there were moments I getting bored with a certain game, so I would cash in, write down the information and then went in search of something fun to do. To sum up, there were three important things that happened to me when I started recording my casino play: 1. I slowed down, and stop throwing money around the casino 2. I realized several smaller winnings that made up for smaller losses. I wasn 't attempting to win a big jackpot. 3. I limited my time playing any game too long, so the casino was no longer grinding away at my money. There were no marathon slot machine sessions, or too many rolls of the dice or spins of the roulette wheel. With these three principles, I began developing systems that would give me my best chance at winning, but only systems that would bring small or medium sized winnings; amounts that do not attract a lot of attention. If the amount of money I could potentially win with one of these systems was going to turn a lot of heads in a casino or result in getting my picture taken, or triggering an IRS

He shoved his chair back, kicking off with his feet. Standing up his eyes, a bright blue caught between a clear gray based blue and a weirdly vibrant electric blue, found her face. And that wall, that steel strong wall he'd built around his heart and emotion came tumbling down. Crashing in a haze of love, hate and anger. Years of work, undone in seconds just by looking at her. Andrew's eyes found her nut brown ones. "Olivia." he spoke, his voice thick on his tongue. Her face said it all. Regret for coming her. Pain from seeing him again. And something else even his years of profiler training couldn't seem to place, a first for the FBI Agent. He paused to eye the bullpen before he lead her into the hallway of the building. Tan walls stared back at him as he crossed his arms ove his chest. "It's been what, eleven years since you left me?" He spoke, his voice cold. Her eyes blinked, her head titled to the side.

This same memory lapse applies to my long– term memory.

Just a quick faint in one direction, then in the other direction, then one last time and you're off to the races. I tried it on my next return. And failed. I tried to juke him out again the next punt. And failed again. Miraculously, Paul continued to deal with me as I grew increasingly flustered until finally, I juked one direction, then the other, and left him in the dust. After scoring I undoubtedly celebrated excessively, but that's when my uncle did something that I try to emulate to this day. He laughed and celebrated with me. And that is what stuck with me.

  • 71. Socioeconomic Inequity Name: Quan Tao Class: Writing 100 Teacher: Mrs. Cora The 3rd Essay We are living in 21th century and people obviously know about social inequity. Normally, they will think that socioeconomic class is the main effective factor of social inequity. Wealthy people are treated better because they have money and their social class is higher than the other economic segments. They also have more privileges than lower economic class people. Unfortunately, it is very hard to get out of lower economic class; lower economic class people must work very hard to pay for their living conditions and education which takes almost their salary and they also get paid less from the wealthy people whom they are working for. In this essay, I will be focusing on how education effects on socioeconomic mobility. In the U.S News and World Report, there was an article named "Where Do You Fall in the American Economic Class System", the author David Francis pointed out that 15 percent of U.S population are below the poverty line and they only have income of 23,050 for a family of four people. After that, the white–collar workers who have college educations, their salary is falling in between 32,500 to 60,000 a year and they are in lower–middle class people (David Francis.). From this information, we can understand it is very challenging to have a better life, especially for our children. One of the important factor to enhance socioeconomic class is education, however, to get good education is very ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This means that health care consumers will experience considerable delays or never even have opportunities to experience the new medical benefits or technologies. The driving goal of dissemination and implementation–based science is to create evidence–based interventions that can be successfully applied in real–world settings. Increasing the number of new interventions that translate into clinical practices will positively impact and improve community health by expanding the available approaches and alternatives.
