Not long after the sweetness was tasted in London, it traveled across the Atlantic to the North American colonies. It is possible to have traveled there directly from Jamaica after the island had been seized from Spain. However, the most genuine explanation is that high Colonial officials carried it with them when they were assigned to their administrative posts in Virginia and Massachusetts.

Coffee is much more than the hot, black liquid that millions of us drink every morning; it is a worldwide commodity that has been keeping us awake for hundreds of years. It seems that a coffee shop can be seen on every shopping center and a coffee pot in every work break room. Our lives today revolve around coffee, regardless if we drink it or not, and ironically it not only stimulates of senses but also our economy. We wouldn’t be able to imagine Bill Gates not with his cup of coffee making Microsoft in his garage, or Henry Ford waking up early to perfect the auto industry and the assembly line. The economics of coffee may not be a simple one to study, but it is one you will be kept up all night learning about.
Legislations that legalize internet gambling are a contribution to the increase of gambling addicts because of its convenience and its attraction. Internet gambling increases the amount of gambling addicts because it makes gambling so convenient for problem gamblers to just go online anytime and start placing bets on their favorite games like, poker or sports games. Gamblers can gamble more often and quicker, which causes problems because they don’t realize how much they gamble and the amount of fun they have due the quick computer simulation that happens in internet poker games. Another way that internet gambling generates addiction is its attraction. Its attraction is a problem because it doesn’t only tempt gamblers to try this new style of gambling. It also uses pictures and advertisement to make it seem pleasant to attract unrelated people that never gamble to start, it’s proven that internet gambling’s overall presentation attracts women to become addicted and fall in debt(Lythe). Not even mentioning the organized crimes that would be provoked by internet gambling, like laundering illegal money(Morganteen). Thus, legislations that allow internet gambling would lead to negative consequences.
