Philip Livingston Jr. was a prominent merchant and a strong political leader from New York City. He was a delegate for New York to the Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
On January 15th 1716, Philip was born into the wealthy and well-known Livingston family. He was the fourth of ten children born to Catharina Van Brugh and Philip Livingston. Young Livingston lived a comfortable childhood in his father’s brick townhouse in Albany on the tree-shaded and accordingly named, Elm Tree Corner.
Philip’s precociousness and the Livingston family’s wealth enabled him to attend Yale University. He enrolled in 1736 and graduated later that year, eager to begin his career. Soon after graduation, he settled in New York City and established a prosperous import business. Gradually, Philip earned a large fortune of his own.
The youthful merchant married Christina Ten Broeck, the daughter of Albany civic leader, Dirck Ten Broeck. Philip and Christina had nine children. The happy couple resided in Manhattan, occasionally visiting their vast farm in Brooklyn.
Livingston was a philanthropic young man, frequently donating money to various societies and causes. He helped found the New York Society Library, the Saint Andrew’s Society, the city’s Chamber of Commerce, and Columbia University. He, a Presbyterian, also promoted the concept of religious freedom.
Sometime after his fortieth birthday in 1754, Livingston had his first taste of politics as a member of the board of Aldermen, the local governing committee. He was a highly respected Alderman; thus, he was reelected each year for the following nine years. In addition, that year, Livingston also went as a delegate to the Albany Congress. The congress discussed ways to ameliorate the common plans for dealing with the French and Indian War.
In 1759, Livingston was elected onto New York’s House of Representatives. He held that important position for ten years. In opposition of the Stamp Act, Livingston attended the Stamp Act Congress. The Stamp Act Congress held the first formal protests against Britain. He later joined the Committee of Correspondence to maintain communication with leaders of other colonies.
Philip Livingston was chosen as one of New York’s delegates to the Continental Congress in 1775. He wholly supported the colonies’ separation from Great Britain. Livingston proudly signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Livingston passed away on June 12, 1778, at age sixty-two. He collapsed at a congress session in York, Pennsylvania. He was the third signer of the Declaration to die, after only Button Gwinnett and John Morton.
Philip Livingston is considered a Founding Father of the United States of America. His leadership and contributions to our country have not since been forgotten. Livingston Avenue and Philip Livingston Magnet Academy have been named to honor this great man. The accomplishments and bravery of Philip Livingston should always be recognized as steps leading to where the United States is today.

Today’s workforce in the United States of America is estimated to be 65 million people. An issue that has become very large in the eyes of many employee. All across the nation, employees and their companies are figuring ways to invade others privacy. The laws are not clear as to the definition of employee privacy, which opens the doors to abuse by employers and general public.
Even though useful software exists, some employers still prefer the traditional methods of surveillance. Methods such as eavesdropping on phone calls, recording are still being used in all types of business.
Workplace surveillance can benefit the employer in many cases it can even have a benefit for the employee. Theft in the workplace is a common reason for workplace surveillance, which can often mean losses to the company, and thusly losses to the employer in terms of benefits such as security as well. Most of these negative aspects involve privacy, de-motivation, and stress.
“Internet surveillance” is the active surveillance of user’s Internet activities. When users operate a computer on the Internet activities, a record of sites that were visited and the operations that were performed by the user can be generated by Internet surveillance software. Also known as spyware, this software is able to track the user’s activities and report this to the employers with various techniques.
“Desktop surveillance” on the other hand, works by the employer’s computer intercepting a signal that given off by the employee’s computer. That is done through specific surveillance software that could be remotely or physically installed on the employee’s machine. *When people use a computer that belongs to their employers, the employer has a right to monitor what their employer do with the computer. The employer doesn’t want to risk being held responsible if an employee uses that come to mind are drug dealing, child porn, predator, stalker, So just to name a few.
Video surveillance cameras for the company, they can monitor and make sure nobody is wasting the company time this can also enable a company to see where they can lose people, thus reducing their expenses, and improving the bottom line. A business can benefits from video surveillance in many ways. [1]CCTV acts as a deterrent from theft by both staff and external people. [2]CCTV provides evidence of crime regardless if committed by staff or people visiting, this can defend staff also. [3]Managers can measure operational efficiency and even perform market analysis.[4]CCTV can discover health &safety issues. It is clear that video surveillance not only benefits the company, but can also help staff by protecting company profits which eventually pay the staff. In some circles this is called LOSS PREVENTION.
Most disadvantages of video surveillance in the work place relate to the issue of those who are worried about being under surveillance. This means staff & even management who may feel their civil liberties are under threat or do not want to be discovered doing something they shouldn’t. The uncomfortable feeling that someone is watching making you feel that you must be doing something is bad enough for some people. Even those at the top of the company are at risk of being recorded doing something they shouldn’t.
The benefits seem to outweigh the disadvantages. In any cases, the company would only spend money on a surveillance system to the advantage of the company in order to save money, protected the business and everybody’s pay checks. Just my opinion, but I think any company that would treat its employees like criminals rather than valued assets gets what it deserves: higher costs, lower loyalty.
The morale is likely to be lower since employees may now be worried about communication with other employees. They may worry that communication may look like chatting and will thus minimize useful communication. Adding to the problems, companies may hire somebody who appeared to be wasting time and was actually working. This could mean future lawsuits. Also, the company has to go through the expense of more equipment with no immediate payback, and hiring of more individuals or a company to monitor these screens. Lower morale of the monitoring has the potential to backfire by reducing productivity and increased turnover and retraining issue that this causes.
Id badges are used to track you via rfia chips they records your whereabouts in the building, whether you are late to work or if you leave early, they are securely used to gather data about how long your breaks are and how much times you spend in the café or smoke areas, problem people will get weeded out or fired based on this data however do to legal reasons they will never tell you this data is being used against you. You have a right to privacy and that right is not there. But it safer for the companies. Mostly companies use badges that are called “Active Tag” they are benefits to the companies in several ways. Some benefits include grater visibility within facility, increased security, added convenience with hand-free identification, and easily installed on existing network infester. Active tags are use at several places. Here are some places they use at: corporate facilities, government facilities, prisons, warehouse and disruption yards, airports, and hospitals. This ID badge can track or reads at a distance over 35 feet. The Axcess active tag communications system comprised of activators, antennas, receivers and a battery powered radio transponders or tags.*

I am a junior, and am having trouble deciding between whether I should become an engineer or dentist. I am from a lower class family, and with aid and scholarships, get myself throught college. However, if I chose to become a dentist, I would need graduate school. Although, dentists do make more money and might pay off in the long run. However, it would be difficult to go through 8 years of school.

how much homework should each grade have:

kindergarten
1st to 4th
5th to 8th
9th to 12th

college is all optional so it'll stay out.


i think that they should give less homework since it's taking the life of kids away and they can't enjoy themselves as much.
