It is not very often that such a small inorganic object can drastically change our lives forever. Such a device that changes the way we work, live, and play is a special one, indeed.

With its amazing versatility, it has found its way into every area of life, and knowing how to operate it is a requirement for today's world. If there were

my name the first year in a British school when I moved from Madrid to London. This journey made me face the numerous challenges of learning English and adapting to a new culture. My days in school would be a combination of mockery and alienation, which consumed me. No one knew me, I had to recreate my personality, redefine myself; it was a chance to start over and be anyone I wanted.

that NCAA violated it 's anti-trust laws in making the video games, the court still ruled in favor of amateurism in sports after the appeal of granting $5,000 payments to athletes.

An article written by Horace Mitchell called, “Students Are Not Professional Athletes”, caught my attention the moment I read the title. In the article, Mitchell said “Collegiate sports is not a career or profession. It is the students ' vehicle to a higher education degree.” Meaning that you only play college sport for four year, if that. You are at college to get an education and to get a job after and start your life. There are only a select number of collegiate athletes that will go to the professionals

When Diocletian came to power in 284 his aim was to return the empire back to stability and prosperity after the crisis that had plagued the third century. External pressures, such as the threat of barbarian invasion, worsened internal tensions such as economic depressions, civil war and an unstable administrative structure due to the growing influence and power of the army. Diocletian evidently saw the external threats of invasion and civil wars as the biggest threat to the stability of the empire

In this era of big-time college sports, it seems the main focus of Division I athletics evolves around the money that schools and conferences make through different deals. These deals typically involve television rights for individual conferences with major television networks. Currently the NCAA has a 14-year, $11 billion TV deal with CBS and Turner Broadcasting for the NCAA basketball Tournament, and this upcoming year ESPN will pay around $470 million to broadcast the new college football playoffs

Over the years, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has had controversy on whether or not student athletes should receive money for the sport they play. For sports fans, this issue can turn into a heated debate. In some circumstances, certain people believe that student athletes already have enough privileges.
