The 1920s was a very trying time for the United States. It was just getting out of a war and the morale of the people was not particularly high. That is where sports come in. They were a morale booster and something to get people’s mind off of rebuilding after the war, a much needed thing for the people of the United States. Sports played a huge role in the happiness and entertainment of the people in the 1920s and contributed to the rebuilding of the United States.…
This summer we celebrated our 25th Anniversary with old and new friends along with Point Tupper residents that truly pioneered this association in the preservation of the community of Point Tupper. Our Association thanks you for your support for the last 25 years and I hope to garner more support in the next 25 years to come.

This summer we have seen a high volume of visitors coming through our doors to learn more about Point Tupper before Industrialization took over the area. For us it was lovely to see so many people interested in Point Tupper and to have even visitors discover roots to Point Tupper through chatting and looking through the albums.…

The 1893 Chicago World's Fair was one that the rest of the world thought would fail, but America knew it would be the greatest of all time. No one really thought Chicago could outdo Paris and the Eiffel Tower; all the odds were against America hosting the World's Fair. Allowing America did not know where the 1893 World's Fair was going to be, Chicago, St. Louis, Washington, and New York all put bids in to have the fair in their city. In February 1890 it was announced that Chicago would be the host of the World's Fair. Chicago was still developing socially and economically after the great fire in 1871, just 22 years earlier.…

Conscious Alliance is a national nonprofit organization that supports local communities in crisis through hunger relief and youth empowerment. By operating food drives across the United States, building food storages for communities in need, and through empowerment and education programs for youth in impoverished Native American reservations.…
The Chicago World fair of 1893 was a very influential event in our nation’s history. Showcasing the spirit and ability of America the fair inspired many to be great and others to strive for success. Despite speculation from many the Chicago world’s fair was an elegant, impressive, amazing exposition. Danial Burnham was responsible for building the legacy of the “White City.” His achievements in building and architecture as well as the placement of the lights provided by Tesla had America in awe.…
The nightmare years and the decade of war are both names people have given to the 1940s with good reason. In the 1940s, it was a time of change and war, but a very successful year for spectator sports, even with all the effects war had on American culture, sports was still a topic that thrived. Since WWII was going on, and Japan had just attacked Pearl Harbor, many expected sports to disappear until the conflicts with other countries were resolved, but the sports industry only got bigger. The 1940s was a time of change and with many men gone to war, women, children, and leftover men had to adjust to the war conditions. One factor that had to be adapted to was the happening of the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.…
I had the pleasure of attending the first Asa Gray picnic of the year. The activity was supposed to be held at Utica College’s Rose Garden from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm on September thirtieth, but it regrettably was rained out, and the event was instead held in the Donahue Auditorium at the same time and on the same day. I had a lot of fun at this activity, and I look forward to attending more Asa Gray meetings in the future due to this event. After much deliberation on my part, I ultimately decided to participate in this activity because it seemed like fun, and I wanted to meet some of the other science majors. In the beginning, I had no intention of going to the picnic, but my twin sister Skylar is a biology major, so it was mandatory for her…
Homeless People Panhandling Panhandling should be illegal because you can’t always trust someone on the streets. Panhandling should not be allowed because some of the homeless will eventually going to rely on us for money so they don’t have to work. Panhandlers should also be prohibited because once the homeless receive the money you have no control over what the money is spent on. Just give the homeless food or a nice smile to make them feel valued. Sometimes panhandlers take advantage of tourists on busy days.…
An essay on plagerism Think back to the first time you ever heard of plagerism. In depth analysis of plagerism can be an enriching experience. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, several of todays most brilliant minds seem incapable of recognising its increasing relevance to understanding future generations. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to the upper echelons of progressive service sector organisations, whom I can say no more about due to legal restrictions. Hold onto your hats as we begin a journey into plagerism.…
Jay’s Day Jay Wilds accounting of what happened on January 13th 1999, can be called unreliable. On that day Hae Min Lee was supposedly murdered by Adnan Syed, her ex boyfriend. Most of the evidence that was used to put Adnan Syed in jail, for life, was Jay account for that day. Jay has told what happened on that january day seven different times, four police interviews, two trial testimonies, and an interview with the intercept. Each time Jay told his story it changed.…

When you see someone asking for food for their family or themselves, what do you do? Most people walk away, or ignore the situation. Others take the time to talk and give the hungry something to eat, so they don 't spend the day hungry. That is one less hungry person in the world. Thankfully, there are people who build food banks to feed the hungry families, and people.…
Playgrounds….playgrounds are a great part of childhood. They give joy and excitement to the young boys and girls that climb, slide, and explore them. The most familiar thing about playgrounds are the children and then swings. The annoying sound of the creaky chains moving back and forth. However, ever since I was 15 years old, it's haunted me to the bone.…
