The Field School

Athletes are constantly being asked which they prefer: artificial turf or natural grass. They want the ideal playing surface to compete on, which was the logic behind inventing artificial grass, but what people don’t know are the disadvantages that are associated with artificial grass. After researching the downsides to turf, I read about a study that states that seventy-one percent of injuries on turf are traumatic injuries and the other 29% are for overuse injuries. This includes both…

main village of Verser I get a nice glimpse of the rice fields that dot this small island. You see, here on the Island of Zanene, rice is their livelihood. To them, rice is their life. They have a whole religion set up with Pedia (Goddess of Rice) and Lisia (Goddess of Rain). Everyone at some point in their life has worked on the rice field.

sugar-induced hysteria. All five cradled ice cream cones, exuberantly embracing each other with sticky hands. Crisp pine trees lined the path through camp, framing the elated chaos. With a click, I stopped down the aperture, extending the depth of field and drawing each member of my wacky sixth grade group into focus. Hitting the shutter, I captured my composition of carefree elation. Although I created this image within a fraction of a second, the joyous frenzy it encapsulates took a week to…

It is a huge rush that pours over me. I love the atmosphere. I love the feeling of the grass under my cleats. I love the sound of the ball hitting the back of the net. When I walked on the field that day I was ready for the game. I knew in my heart we could be successful. I loved everything about that day…

The inhumane acts prevalent in the modern world are rooted in mankind itself.

Genocide is defined as the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial,…

Migrations of oil field workers were produced by frequent shifts in the demand for petroleum.
