Things to Consider When Deciding Whether to Join the Navy
No matter if it's for the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, or beyond, joining any single branch of the military is no easy task, and neither is what follows if you actually get cleared for basic. As when joining any organization or systematic group, one must know the concerns and necessities inherent with the particular place, in addition to the people involved. For this reason, if you're leaning toward the Navy, my advice would be to not only to read up on all that you can in context with the history and the ideologies of the military branch, but to also soak up as much information as is possible when literally signing up.

Biggest College Bowl Game Upsets Ever
First introduced in the 1902 Tournament East-West football game, wherein Michigan clobbered Stanford 49-0, the Rose Bowl would then on take form over their years of continued bouts, next witnessed in the 1916 Tournament East-West Football Game and then given its official title in the 1923 game played in their newly-rendered Rose Bowl stadium. While the iteration of the "bowl" game then took root due to this new shape of the facility, not all of the games would be played in bowl-shaped stadiums as the title appropriates. Interestingly, the initial bowl games took place starting in warmer climates and easier areas of traversal. This meant that states like Texas, South California, and Florida were all among original bowls, and since commercial air travel had yet to make a lasting effect until the 1970s and 1980s, much of these games were played well beyond the regular season so fans could make the travel.

Techniques Horror Movies Use to Scare You
Even so, a really well-versed horror filmmaker won't necessarily resort to the same old tried and true horror scenes that have made us terrified in the past, but will instead use either a blending of these old kinds, or utilize new, more engaging aspects for truly horrifying graphic scenery unlike anything ever seen before. That's the whole point of the horror genre in the first place, to push the bounds of terror as realistically as can be done. But a good horror doesn't simply scare the viewer, they go far deeper in drawing out both physical and psychological connections so as to send the viewer into a warp hole of considerable unrest. Just watch A Serbian Movie.

Amazing Lifehacks That Are Backed by Science
Lifehacks are truly the diamonds of laziness, but they don't have to make people lazy; they just have to make life easier, which may or may not make a person lazier. It really comes down to the person more than it does the lifehack itself. While they might be more well-known for decorative ensembles or party-going procedurals, like designing more in-home space or using a mouthwash bottle for easier vodka consumption, they don't always have to be stringent upon physical attributions. In reality, lifehacks at their heart were meant to simplify the complexity of life itself, so why shouldn't some deal with increased mental health benefits, life satisfaction, and an overall more productive attention span?

Worst Armies in the World
It may be surprising to hear for some, but not every country is built up and so fortified like that of America. In fact, the US military is so advanced and proficient that it's nearly twice as large as the second largest military force on earth, which is saying something. When it comes to armies, though, we have some of the most fearsome soldiers in the world, but they're not the most effective. Simply take a look at a comedy of errors in the British Army UOTC, that's enough to show you that not every force is as equipped or as prepared as you might think.

The History of FIFA Corruption
Disregarding the players and incredible fanbase for one second; all you're left with realistically is a multi-billion dollar corporation that heads the scheduling, maintenance, televising and governing body controlling one of the most profound and highly regarded sports organizations in the history of athletic entertainment. FIFA heartbreakingly went from first being an unrivaled televised athletics business and sports program, and devolved into a melting pot of improper tactics, bribery, negative transactions, and a multiplicity of corrupt ideals spanning a long line of history, which many have tried to ignore, or have gone to great lengths in disregarding. It's rather hampering on the beauty of soccer, as a sport, as is any scandal involving an intermingling of both business and policy. Sadly, FIFA is not new to scandalous behavior.
