Significance of Cloud Computing in the Internet of Things
In our interconnected world, the proliferation of IoT devices has been for everyone to see. These devices collect obscene amounts of data, leading one to wonder where it ends up.

Widely acknowledged as a game-changing solution, cloud computing brings with it a robust and adaptable approach to make space for the growing data needs of the IoT age.

Two poignant protests in Cardiff in the past few days in memory of the tens of thousands of innocent women and children slaughtered by Benjamin Netanyahu’s terrorist regime in Israel have been completely ignored by MediaWales newspapers, although Wales On Sunday did carry a report on Charlotte Church’s presence at the Palestine solidarity march in London on Saturday and her calls for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza.

Though not as brash or divisive as the man himself, Netflix has nevertheless embraced a decidedly Trumpian sensibility. It has morphed beyond the pale of entertainment, transitioning into a curated hub of misinformation. With no premium placed on factuality, ethics or integrity, the platform has become a sanctuary for documentaries, of health and of history, that cling to a lie of credibility. It is at once a spectacle of irresponsibility and a transgression that can’t help but strike an ugly likeness with the pathological antics of America’s boorish ex-president.

Dear Donald Trump, Hi. How's it going? I am guessing not too bad since you may very well be elected as the next president of the United States despite all those pesky felonies and what-not. In case you were wondering, though I am fairly certain you are not, I am doing OK. Generally speaking things have been going fairly well and I am very much enjoying my new home in Baja, California, Mexico. It's pretty sweet. I have a big place I could never afford in a million years just across the border in Southern California in San Diego. Real estate along with utilities and just about everything else there costs a small fortune, and my wife and I do not make nearly enough money as research scientists to afford to buy a home or live there. My place in Mexico is super affordable and the cost of living overall is very reasonable. Did I mention my house has an elevator! An elevator! I guess for you that is probably not a big deal, but for me it is a thing I never dreamed possible. I also happen to live right on the ocean with a private beach and everything. Really, it is a dream come true though it comes with some downsides which are somewhat relevant to the reason I am writing you this letter.

Once a platform for connecting with friends, social media has morphed into a battleground of political ideologies. As fingertips flurry across keyboards, the online world becomes a reflecting pool of society's divisions.

This year the Utah Republican Party decided to do a presidential poll at their caucus meetings instead of a primary ballot. Personally, my husband and I were disappointed because it means fewer people would vote due to difficulties to attend a caucus meeting. We've always had children too young to care for themselves, so we rarely made it to any political functions.

How to become an uneducated historian The saddest moment of my life was the day the last holocaust surviver agreed to what I tell for years now. Please, understand me right, because I absolutely love being right about something normally. Just in this case, I better had been wrong. But the signs are clear: history will repeat itself.
