From my experience during the stock market game I found out that the market is very random and could take the wrong turn at any moment. There will be days where the market will just crash on you or it could go the other way around and you could accumulate a ton of profit. At the beginning of the game I didn’t know what to do so I just bought random stocks that the website suggested to me. I got my friend, who was already familiar with the stock concept because he was in Mr. Barton’s Finance…

Leonard Nimoy was 83 years old when he died February 27, 2015. He was known for many things, but acting as Spock in the Star Trek movies was his most famous role. Nimoy decided to pursue acting at a rather young age. He was not afraid to put himself out there and he did by starring in many of his school plays. Although his acting career did not take off immediately he eventually was in many films. Some of the shows he starred in were The Twilight Zone, Sea Hunt, and Bonanza. Leonard Nimoy’s…

For years I have been watching the Star Wars movies, never thinking I would actually see one for the first time in theaters. The last Star Wars movie to hit theaters in my life time was Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith in 2005, and it was stinker. If you ask anyone who considers themselves a fan of the Star Wars movies, they will tell you the first trilogy was some of the best cinema ever created, and the second trilogy was in comparison just completely awful. In fact a lot of people wish the…

Jediism is vastly different form Christianity. Let's start with the view of God. Christians believe in a triune God who created the world and is still working in it. Jedi believe in a force that connects everything in the universe. The best definition I have seen is in episode 8 of the StarWars movies when Luke explains it to Rey. There is also no mention of creation just the force. Jedi also believe that when we die we become one with the force no matter what you believe or how you lived your…

How Stars Came to be and Their History The radiance of the stars is masked in secrecy. Only those who wish to ponder the vastness of the stars can be enlightened to their true beauty; their ability to create something from nothing is astounding. People revel at the beauty of the stars, generally enjoying a night under the twilight sky. The stars hold so many mysteries that are seldom ever questioned, but how many people ever wonder where the stars come from? How long a star’s lifespan is or why…

Barriers Apple is in a unique situation where things that might be a barrier to most company’s actually increase Apple’s desirability. However, there are two things that could potentially be a barrier to Apple succeeding in the iTV arena. First, the avenues available to people to purchase Apple products are traditionally somewhat limited. The iPad/iPhone/iPod have been available in non-traditional Apple retailers like Walmart/Target, however, MacBooks and other higher end Apple products…

When I come to The United State, I was thinking everything for me is novel and amazing also this is my first time abroad. First, I lived in Irvine, California. My aunt came to America two years ago, so my parents agree me to study abroad. I went to many places in California with my aunt and cousin before I went to University of California, Riverside extension. Such as I went to Santa Monica beach it’s one of the famous beaches in the world. There are so pretty and comfortable. Then I went to…

The NCAA rakes in on average $12 billion in revenues annually that flow in through college athletics programs(Finley, 2015). The latest and biggest debate is "Whether or not college athletes should get paid?". When college athletes go to college they are not allowed to earn any money while they are participating in athletics, but is that fair? Generally they are putting in full time work hours(40/week) or sometimes even more. As more and more college athletes are struggling to get by through and…

During our many outings’ around Charlotte I have learned a lot about Charlotte and what it has to offer. Going to the Mint Museum by far has been my favorite outing because I have never been to an art museum before and it was very interesting to learn about the artist featured there and their artwork. One painting stood out the most to me during our time at the Mint Museum. I believe this painting depicts my journey through life and how my mom has been the backbone for my family and me. It…
