How To Make "Bugia Davvero Grande"
As a child I would often visit my "vecchio uomo". I was not related to him, but he was mine and I was his, from about 3pm to 5pm on weekdays while my parents worked. I loved the smell of his house and the way the aromas from his garden mixed so well with his very very cheap cologne. We had fun together we really did. He taught me the basics about cooking. I should have been doing math homework which is what my parents payed him to help me with, but together through the power of food we were able to get something done with that math.

Upon reading this title, you might think I'm some idiot American, which is kind of true, I won't argue with that, but, I'm not thinking about suing the virus, I would obviously lose. The virus would mop the floor with me. I want to sue the beer company, and no I don't think that they started the virus either. They did unknowingly cause a kitchen fire in my house, but that's a different story. I have something else against them.

I recently made an attempt to figure out what Vocal Media publishes and if they publish anything. There has been a rumor that Vocal Media will publish anything and therefore it is not a reliable outlet. I am here to set the record straight.

Like many teenage Instagram entrepreneurs, I have had trouble with the ladies. One reason may be because I refer to them as "the ladies". Anyway, that led me to explore other options in terms of dating. I'm not desperate enough to go down the number line or buy a "special pillow", something that many other entrepreneurs recommend. I am however, classy enough to date people that are older than me. This is the story of how I met an "older woman" and the way she changed my life for the worse.

The Good, "The Ad", and The Ugly
Advertisements are used to display and promote products or services. The way advertisers do this can be manipulating, and it is important to know the science behind ads. Is that really a good product or is it just advertised very well? Ads can be categorized into two general areas: emotional and scientific. In addition to the way each of those general areas affects minds, there are many other factors that influence how a viewer will react to an ad. There are many marketing tricks that can be used. Driving factors include race, area demographics, age, gender and the need to feel included. Who a person is will affect their reactions to ads.

Are You "Wheely" Going To Drive?
Our world’s natural systems are dying. There are many little things we can do to better the earth and in turn mankind. A major contributor to the deterioration of the ozone layer is car fumes. Biking is a good alternative. Biking has numerous health benefits. The negative environmental effects of biking versus driving is significantly lower. Surprisingly, hybrids and fully electric cars aren’t doing much for the environment. Using bikes for short distance trips is better and more cost effective.

Sweatshops
Every day first world citizens benefit from the labor of those in other countries. Most of the labor is performed in poorly run facilities that have a tendency to take advantage of the employees. Sweatshops have been an industrial stronghold since America took the world of business by surprise in the eighteen-hundreds. The use of sweatshops is not hidden but widely ignored by the masses. I wanted to research this topic to better understand sweatshops and how they function, after seeing a political commentary on it. The purpose of this essay is to delve into how sweatshops affect companies outsourcing labor and the people providing labor. The essay will cover why America outsources labor, the effects of outsourcing labor, and alternatives for employers and employees.

All Things Hemp:
Hemp is a pop culture icon and industrial staple whose reputation has been muddied by years of government rejection, misunderstanding, and social stigma. I aim to answer the following question: “What is hemp and how is it important to the economy and the environment?” I will also expand on how the plant gets a bad rap, why it does, and what has been done concerning its legalization when it comes to its mass growth. Despite lacking the legal capabilities, hemp, or cannabis sativa, can and should have a bigger role in the economy which will not only help our wallets but also our environment.
