EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Saw Caban Everything Everywhere All at Once, released March 2022, is an absurdist multiverse movie, directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. The editing, storytelling, cinematography and costumes are masterfully crafted and absolutely breathtaking, and it will make you laugh and cry mere moments apart, often keeping you in suspense and guessing what will happen next you will be wrong! It has fast paced comedic action scenes with clever, well timed jokes, and at the core of it all, a story about a small family and their issues. .

The protagonist is Evelyn Wang, a Chinese woman who left for America to raise a family

with her husband, Waymond. She lives and works at a laundromat, each machine in a constant circular motion, not unlike her life, a whirlwind of emotion and frustration, projecting the expectations her father had for her onto her daughter, Joy, and constantly fighting with her husband. Joy wants to introduce her girlfriend, Becky, to her grandfather, but Evelyn is ashamed of them and stops her. Suddenly, her husband turns into someone she doesn't know - quite literally - and tells her she is the only hope for the entire multiverse.

Source: P

The movie starts realistic, showing their difficulty filing taxes, and Waymond trying to give Evelyn divorce papers, but as the movie progress it increases in its absurdity and complexities as Evelyn finds herself lost in the endless possibilities of who she could have become and who she is, until there is no distinction between the two. She transports herself through thousands of universes, and uses the skills she has there to help her fight in her universe - with enough silliness that its clear it doesn't take itself too seriously.

The film is about all-encompassing love and acceptance, and is a fantastic watch. It is an absurd, twisting ride that you wont regret taking!

Canelo vs. GGG: The Decider By: Omar Shoreibah

Super-fight trilogies are exceedingly rare in the sport of boxing. Two of the sport?s top athletes going head to head is rare in a single occurrence, but three fights between future Hall-of-Fame boxers is a historic series of events only emulated by a handful of storied rivalries. One of these is the most recent story line between Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.

Canelo holds all super middleweight belts, the undisputed king of the WBA (Super), WBO, WBC, IBF, and The Ring belts. Golovkin is king of the IBF and WBA (Super) middleweight titles. This final installation of the trilogy will be at super middleweight, so only Canelo?s belts will be at stake. But let?s take a step back, and watch the trilogy unfold, from the beginning.

Ca and Golovkin first fought in 2017, a highly vaunted match-up already nelo

due to the fact that both fighters were widely considered to be future hall-of-famers even at this point in their careers. This was considered a super fight, and many expected an incredible fight, and both fighters put on one of the best shows of their careers, both displaying inch-perfect technique, a pair of iron chins, and monstrous power. However, this fight went the distance, and though many thought it should have been given as a win to Golovski, the fight was decided to be a majority draw. The second fight was much more controversial.

Ater another 12 rounds of furious boxing, Canelo was given the majority f

decision, and again, most experts gave the win to Golovkin. This is where the rivalry truly begins. Burdened by the two decisions that he perhaps felt should have gone his way, Golovkin lashed out at Alvarez, stating that Canelo was a ?drug cheat?. This incensed Alvarez, releasing a statement during an interview; ?It?s personal for me? He?s two different people. He pretends to be a nice guy but he?s not, he?s an a------?.The two controversial decisions and subsequent heat between the two fighters set up the next bout nicely to be a decider for the trilogy. The beef and decision-based previous fights left fans needing a decisive victory to settle the rivalry. Which leads us to this most recent bout in the trilogy, the crowning moment for Canelo, and the last attempt at pulling both equivalency and vengeance in this rivalry for Golovkin.

Since the second fight, Golovkin has won four fights in a row, capturing the IBO and IBF from Ryota Murata, carrying some serious momentum for one of the most important fights for super middleweight gold. However, Canelo has recently attempted a move to light heavyweight, after winning eight fights in a row to unify every super middleweight belt. He lost to an incredibly sharp Dmitry Bivol, unable to succeed in a new weight class. This most recent loss is not a good thing for Triple G as Alvarez is extremely motivated coming into this fight, and, as Eddie Hearn has told Sporting News, ?A focused Canelo can be a very bad thing for any opponent.?

Fght night arrived, Saturday, September 18, 2022, the T-Mobile arena alive i

and filled to bursting. On this hallowed night, Canelo silenced the doubters and put on a masterclass against Golovkin, beating him soundly over 12 rounds, a true legacy performance from Alvarez to secure a unanimous decision win to round out the trilogy, and perhaps cementing himself as one of the most prolific and greatest super middleweights in the history of this sport.

Assi represents various present-day issues through her artwork, f ocusing especially on the Middle East?s battle with civilian unrest and strif e. Her work contains clear ref erences to Beirut and its citizens?predicaments.

A lot of her work includes landscapes and buildings, usually representing Beirut as an ne Daj ani ever-changing city with limited stability, which is more clearly visible in her earlier works.

Assi started producing artwork in 2005, portraying the socio-cultural view of her urban contemporary society. She stated that she draws inspiration f rom the conf licts and relationships between individuals and their spacial environment, as well as society and its environment.

Images source: Zena Assi portfolio

Born in Beirut in 1974, Zena Assi is an artist who works and lives between her home country of Lebanon and London.

She earned a Master?s degree in Advertisement f rom L?Academie Libanaise Des Beaux Arts and then proceeded to work in that f ield f or a f ew years and taught at dif f erent universities around Lebanon.

Assi lived in Lebanon f or the f irst 40 years of her lif e, living through various wars, including the Lebanese civil war f rom 1975 to 1990, spending most of her childhood in disorder and chaos, as well as the 2006 war with Israel. She has seen her home and community go through traumatic experience af ter traumatic experience and adapt as Lebanese society does. She has witnessed, as well as experienced, the ef f ects of such trauma on a country and now portrays them in her artwork. Assi moved to London in 2014.

Although she now resides in the UK, Assi still pulls inspiration f rom her home country as a member of the diaspora. Some works of hers are based on events or crises in Lebanon, while others are broader and f ocus on the general state of the people.

Zena Assi is a household name in Lebanese f amilies and communities, and her multimedia art populates many homes and museums. Her abstract representations of Lebanon and its people attract attention to the detail and messaging of her work and to the statement it relays.

Could Tay Midnightsbe th albu

By Yasmin Souce: Twitter

ylor Swift's he second lost um?

ne Dajani

Taylor Swift is notorious for giving her fans easter eggs and hints about her music, saying that she sometimes plans them years in advance. So it comes as no surprise that with the announcement of Taylor Swift?s new album Midnights, fans are going wild with theories and speculations.

The theory that everyone is talking about is that Midnights could possibly be Taylor's second lost album that was lost during the pandemic after Lover came out and before Folklore, which was a pandemic album like Evermore, which came right after. The first lost album is thought to be Loverfest, the ?side B? of Lover.

Taylor announced the new album on the VMA stage which is also where 13 years ago, Kanye West crashed her acceptance speech, announcing that Beyonce should have won. Taylor later said that she felt humiliated by that moment and it was the first event in a long feud between the two artists. This feud included Kanye calling Taylor a ?b***h? in his song, ?Famous?, and his wife, Kim Kardashian leaking a phone conversation between the two amid that fallout. After that event, Taylor disappeared for over a year before coming out with Reputation.

And obviously, because Taylor never does anything by mistake, the dress she wore to the VMAs reminded fans of her ?Look what you made me do? music video in Reputation, calling it Taylor?s ?revenge dress.? That video was also said to be inspired by the dress Taylor wore to the 2009 VMAs when the feud with Kanye began, which leads fans to believe that she always planned to announce Midnights that night and that the album will have something to do with that incident. Swifties initially thought that the dress meant that Reputation would be the next re-recorded album but were pleasantly surprised when proven otherwise.

Souce: Capital

The album also comes out on Kim Kardashian?s birthday, which swifties believe to be intentional because of the history between the two and Kanye.

Other than Kimye drama, fans still have hundreds of theories about Midnights. One that is being repeated quite a lot is that Taylor?s message on Instagram in her album?s announcement was a teaser to the album?s song titles.

Swifties are all making their own assumptions about what those titles could be.

There is also speculation that the voice-over at the end of ?Daylight,? could be what precedes the first song in Midnights, thinking that the continuation to that recording could be found in that first song. This also brings us back to the lost album theory in that Midnights could be what comes after Lover. This theory is mostly based on the fact that Lover was supposed to be called ?Daylight? but the name was changed after Taylor wrote the song ?Lover? in the middle of the night and that midnight is the opposite of daylight so obviously there should be a connection.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of other theories that Swifties have come up with and are coming up with as more information is being released about Midnights. Some of them are quite farfetched and others are on point. The only way to find out is by listening to the album at midnight on October 21st.

Tr eat s & Sweet s

By Hannah Fierce

As the temperature begins to drop and the summer sun begins to cool off, the festivities begin to commence. From Halloween and Diwali in October to Christmas in December, the end of the year is packed with tons of fun. Whether that means seeing family, spending time with loved ones, or having the holiday to yourself, you always need to eat. So I?ve picked out a treat and a sweet to suggest to those who haven?t tried these before! I hope to encourage people to cook or bake outside of their comfort zone while making delectable food.

Tr eat s & Sweet s t he Gyoza!

My suggested treat is the gyoza. Whether or not you?ve made one before, you?ve most likely eaten one. Traditionally, a typical gyoza filling consists of ground pork, cabbage, garlic, chives, sesame oil, and homemade wrappers. I?ve edited the usual recipe slightly to be more accessible for the parent and student body. You can buy almost every ingredient on the list at Carrefour for around 65AED.

Duration: 30-45 minutes.

Portion: ~20 individual pieces Ingredients: -

Gyoza/Wonton wrappers (8AED for ~50 wrappers)

-

Salt

-

200g minced beef

-

½ cup finely chopped chives or spring onions

-

1 tbsp soy sauce

-

1 ½ cups of shredded cabbage

-

~2tsp of oil of your choice (Recommendations: sesame, sunflower)

-

½ a cup of hot water

Steps: -

In a bowl, mix together the minced beef, chopped chives or spring onions, and cabbage.

-

Pour your oil into a pan and let it heat up until it almost begins to smoke.

-

Take your gyoza or wonton wrappers and one by one, you either use your finger or a brush and trace the edges with water.

-

Take some beef and roll it into a ball, before placing it in the center of the wrapper.

Fold it in half into a triangular shape. If you feel fancy, feel free to attempt a nice crinkled edge. If you don?t, simply press the two sides together and seal the beef inside.

-

Place the wrappers into the pan in a circular motion. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the base is nice and brown. Drizzle with water before covering and let it cook for 3-5 minutes.

-

Remove from heat and take off the cover, letting it cool for 1-2 minutes or until the gyozas come right off.

-

Serve dumplings on a plate with soy sauce, and voila!

Tr eat s & Sweet s Peach Cobbl er !

For our sweet treat: the peach cobbler. A sweet and savory dish, a casual comfort food-style dessert yet often presented formally. It's the best of both worlds! The crunch of the soft-yet-fulfilling crust and the sweet, fruity flavor makes it an exciting combination of palates. Cobblers can be made with various fruits, strawberry, blackberry, and peach being the most popular. Feel free to research the other variations and put your own spin on it!

You can find and buy all the ingredients at Carrefour for around ~47.6AED (With canned peaches) or ~50.9AED (With fresh peaches).

Duration: 40-50 minutes.

Portion: ~10 Ingredients: -

½ a cup of unsalted butter, melted

-

1 cup of flour

-

1 cup of white sugar

-

½ cup of white sugar (for syrup)

-

1 cup of milk

-

16 ounces of sliced peaches (canned is okay) - canned ~10AED

Steps: -

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

-

Mix flour, sugar, and milk together in a bowl until well combined.

-

ONLY DO THESE STEPS IF YOU DIDN?T BUY CANNED PEACHES!

-

Prep your peaches by peeling the skin and pitting them, and prep a pan with water, bringing it to a boil.

-

Slice them into quarters, and place into a pan with the boiling water.

-

The Basics: How AI Ar t can Exist AI art as a concept is easy to wrap your head around, initially. It is art put together by a program that can generate its own original images. More complex, however, is how this art comes to be. Rather than what one typically thinks of computer programs, algorithms take in several paintings and art pieces - thousands in some cases - and attempt to recreate a new image utilizing patterns, trends and points of significance seen throughout each piece. Hence the term artificial intelligence. Though a simple idea on its own, the connotations it carries is heavy, with potential consequences in the future.

The eruption of such criticism h polar opposites into one - and so efficiently at led many to wonder whether or not this signals the beginning o that- people have immediately come to both the end of art, an eventual the attack and defense of the concept, with takeover that will make the effo both sides bringing out considerable of humans obsolete.

Though the presence AI art has been talked about heavily in the news, the actual In a recent post for the New York Times, existence of such programs author Kevin Roose reports on the reactions capable of performing these regarding Jason Allen, who won his state?s art actions are few and far between fair via the use of an AI-generated submission.

Does t his even count as ?ar t?, anyways?

Another question core to the criticisms against AI art is that it simply isn?t art in the first place. Critics say that for something to be considered ?art? it must be created with a message in mind, convey a concept or be made for a specific purpose. All things that a coded program cannot do. Of course, there?s an entire conversation to be had about what even is art in the first place, a heavily theoretical discussion that would inevitably detract from what the focus of our question is: Can machine learning generate art? For this, we will have to go back to a once equally controversial artform: photography.

A topic that began with the invention of the camera, (albeit) less so in today?s world is the validity of photography as an art. A common argument made against the photographer ?s favor is that a camera merely copies the world as we see it, while ?real? art is created as an interpretation of it. Another is that a camera can capture scenes with the click of a button, while ?real? art requires both the skill and time to produce a painting or drawing of the same scene - an argument used against AI art, as well.

Of course, there are differences between the comparisons being made here. Though both machine learning programs and cameras require a higher level of skill to produce as the tools they are, cameras can be mass bought, and programs can be shared with the public to be freely used. The separating difference, however, is the fact that the ?work? is done entirely by the program, whereas even if one has a high-end camera, some learning is required to use it in a way that will grant truly impressive results.

Returning to the primary point, it can be deduced that under the standard of what many consider art to be, AI art is not art. However, it can?t be denied that many of the images created by these programs are undoubtedly beautiful, if albeit prone to mistakes.

From an aesthetic, purely visual perspective, AI art is art. But when considering the intent, meaning, and emotions from which art is generally considered to require, machine learning simply cannot replace human ingenuity.

Fr an ce The France team was officially founded in 1904 and they played their first official match against Belgium in Brussels in 1904. No team wearing a combination of red, white and blue has been more successful or respected than France. These colors are the central feature of their national identity, along with the rooster as their logo and their nickname ?Les Bleus?. France has won two World Cups, one being in 2018, making them reigning champions. Since France won the last WC, a lot is expected from them, and people expect them to play like they did last time. This year for the 2022 WC, Didier DesChamps will be coaching like in 2018, and the possible line up will be 4-2-3-1 with Areola, Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, B Mendy, Pogba, NDombele, Coman, Fekir, Dembele, Mbappe.

The Fut ure of t he ATP

By Zayaan Raza Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal have been known as the Big Three in the world of tennis for nearly two decades, as collectively they have accumulated over 60 major titles since 2003. However, their era of domination is most definitely coming to an end. The fan-favorite Federer recently retired from the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) at 42 years old, after a 24-year-long career. Age is catching up with the other two as well, with Nadal being 36 and Djokovic 35.

In a major highlight for the ATP, Federer played his last match at the Laver Cup in England a couple of weeks ago, where he was given an emotional send-off in a magnificent ceremony that shattered the hearts of many tennis fans. Contemporaries like Nadal and Djokovic were there to bid him farewell in a touching display of sportsmanship where it was evident that their own retirement announcements were not too far away. W ith the legendary Big Three on their way out, what does the future of the ATP look like?

Only the Big Three, along with Andy Murray, have reached world No 1. However, in February this year, Russian player Daniil Medvedev became the first new person in 18 years to achieve world No 1. His success was followed by other younger players reaching for the top position.

Currently, Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz holds the number one spot.

" It 's been t he perf ect journey, I'd d o it al l over again."

?It is som et hing I have d ream ed of since I w as a kid . To be No 1 in t he w orl d , t o be cham pion of a Grand Sl am , is som et hing I have w orked real ly, real ly hard f or, Alcaraz told reporters after w inning t he US Open.

Alcaraz reached world No 1 after he won the US Open this year, beating Casper Ruud in the finals. At 19 years and 4 months old, he is the youngest world No 1 in the history of the ATP.

Alcaraz is only at the start of his career, yet he has already won six tournaments - five just this year - including the 2022 US Open.

Not only is Alcaraz performing exceptionally well, other young tennis players are too.

Francis Tiafoe and Karen Khachanov were also semi-finalists, along with Ruud coming in second place in the US Open. Ruud wasn?t just the runner-up in the grand slam final; he also achieved world No 2, going up five whole ranks.

Many have called these last two decades the Golden Era of tennis, but it is inevitable that it will be coming to an end very soon.

W ith promising tennis players like Alcaraz starting to dominate the ATP tour, a new exciting era of tennis is about to commence.

World Championship Standings By: Assia Klats

For m u l a 1 Formula 1 is one of the most popular motorsports in the world; it is approved and established by the Fédération Internationale de Automobile (FIA). The first ever race was in Silverstone, UK 1950. And then year by year new tracks were created in locations all over the world. The most popular tracks in F1 are Autodromo Nazionale de Monza, Circuit de Monaco, Silverstone, and Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. There are ten teams and each team has two drivers. There are only 8 races left in the F1 season. So many different events have already happened, and soon enough they will come to an end. Team Red Bull has won 12 out of 16 races so far.

The Top Three current drivers are Max Verstappen (Red Bull) leading in the ranking with 335 points, Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) is second with 219 points, and Sergio Perez (Red Bull) rounds up the rankings with 210 points.

?I always try to get the best result out of it, I'm not there to just sit second or sit third. I'm a winner, and I want to win every single race, and I will always go for it.?

-Max Verstappen

And the top three constructors are as follows: Red Bull leading with 545 points, Ferrari is second with 406 points, and Mercedes is third with 371 points

?My recommendation is to try and do the best you can in go-karting to be spotted by a big name like Red Bull or Ferrari. And like that, you have a chance. If not, nowadays it's very difficult. It's always been, but these days, even more.?

- Carlos Sainz Jr. The next race is in Singapore on Marina Bay Street Circuit. The first ever Grand Prix on this track was in 2008. The drivers need to complete 61 laps on the circuit, and the length of the circuit is 5.063 km. The Lap Record is 1:41.905 set by Kevin Magnussen (currently driving for the Haas team). If you want to watch the practice, qualifying, or the race itself you can watch it on F1TV, Shahid, Sky Sports, and more.

What to expect for the next r ace The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the most challenging circuits on the calendar; each team will have a different strategy. There is a high chance that many drivers will start off on soft tires, but they will only last for about ten laps. Mercedes has been using mediums for two-thirds of the races, so we can anticipate that they will start off on mediums again. But there is a 60% chance of rain, so if there will be rain then the drivers will have to drive on Wet tires.

"Singapore has features that we've struggled with in the past. The short straights, the slow, tight corners, and the bumpy surface all make the Marina Bay Street Circuit one of the trickiest tracks of the season for us?

- Toto Wolff It may seem that Max Verstappen will win the title, and the Singapore Grand Prix will make the decision; for Verstappen to be still in the lead and have the highest chances of winning his second WDC he needs to place P1, and Leclerc needs to place P9 or lower. Or Max needs to place P1 and get the fastest lap, so then Leclerc needs to place P8 or lower for Verstappen to secure the second title. But if that won't be the case then Leclerc will still be in the battle and could have a chance to win his first title. We will have to wait and see on the 2nd of October 2022.

Wh at t o Expect Fr om t h e Tor on t o Rapt or s Th is Season

By M oh am ed Dayeh The Toronto Raptors have always been the underdogs, but that hasn't stopped them from taking down championship teams and winning an NBA Championship. Last year the Raptors went 48-34 and landed the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference but lost in the first round of the playoffs. Most sportsbooks have predicted that the Raptors will win 45.5 games this season, which is slightly less than the amount they won last year. The Raptors have eclipsed all odds since 2012 apart from the 2020-2021 season known as the ?Tampa tank.?

The 2021 NBA draft was one of the best drafts for the Raptors in history. After the worst season since 2011, the Raptors received the fourth overall pick in the draft. They then drafted Scottie Barnes, who would immediately make a huge difference in the team and became a starter.

Barnes averaged 15.3 PPG, 7.5 PRG and 3.5 APG which led him to winning the Rookie of the Year Award. The other main players which led the Raptors were all NBA team player Pascal Siakam and first time all star Fred VanVleet who both averaged over 20 points.

Calum Roche/as.com

During the offseason, the Raptors were first linked with one time MVP Kevin Durant, but he then decided to stay at the Brooklyn Nets. Although this probably would have been a blockbuster trade, the Nets were asking for Scottie Barnes, and the Raptors didn't want to give up their young star, who is the future of the organization. The Raptors then went on to draft Christian Koloko, a 7 ft forward/center. For their free agency the Raptors re-signed Chris Boucer and Thaddeus Young for a total of 51 million dollars. However, the Raptors' $12 million, two-year contract with NBA champion Otto Porter Jr. in 2022 will make the largest headlines. Last season, Porter Jr. resurrected his career with Golden State, demonstrating that he was still a key player for a team that was contending for the championship.

Scott Rafferty/sportingnews.com

The Raptors have always had a nontraditional lineup, preferring three tall, versatile and strong forwards rather than playing with two forwards and a center. This explains why the majority of the lineup and bench are between 6ft 7 and 6ft 11, without an actual center player. The raptors will have lots of advantages this year with the way their games are scheduled. This season, the Raptors will play 21 games with a rest advantage, which ranks sixth in the NBA. This means they will have more rest than their opponents frequently. They also are tied for the least back-to-back games in the league this season with 12. Finally, the Raptors will rank second last in the league in distance traveled, only behind the Cavs.

Aaron Rose/si.com Even though the sportsbooks think the Raptors will regress a bit from last year, with the advantages they have, their new players and stars from last year, I predict they will have a good season and maybe even a playoff run.

Season One athletics is back! Luckily, this year almost all COVID restrictions have been lifted, so we are all coming into this new season with a positive mindset. In this article, I surveyed and then interviewed athletes and those working behind the scenes.

As usual, the Season One sports are Dance, Golf, Varsity/JV Swimming, and Varsity/JV Volleyball. So far, tryouts have been held and most first games have been played. The results are as follows: JV Boys Volleyball vs. DAA: 2-1 JV Girls Volleyball vs. DAA: 1-2 Varsity Boys Volleyball vs. DAA: 2-1 Varsity Girls Volleyball vs. DAA: 1-2 (Golf results shared with individuals) All teams played great no matter the outcome, and it was amazing to see the community come together and support those who were on the court (or pitch!). Even after walking away with a loss, the JV Girls Volleyball team had smiles on their faces and said they were proud of how they played together, especially because it was only the first week of playing as a team.

As happy as we all are to be back, it took a lot of work to get here. COVID definitely was a disappointing blow to the athletics community. The interviews revealed the tremendous amount of work it takes to bring back athletics and provide a great start to the season.

?We felt that loss of community not only with our student-athletes, but with our greater community.?

- Mark Buschini Mr. Buschini, Head of Athletics, talked about the ways COVID restrictions impacted ASD athletics. Wearing masks, fewer practices, and not being able to participate in MESAC were just some of the disappointments. Sophomore and JV Boys Volleyball player Daniel Walsh explained that the ?masks were annoying?, and it was hard to play games without the cheering from the crowd in the stands. The hardships of masks and a silent or empty crowd was a common theme among the survey respondents.

?We are feeling very excited and optimistic going into the sports season.?

-Mark Bushcini It is pretty common knowledge that not just athletes, but everyone is happy to be going into a more ?normal? sports season. Traveling, bringing back MESAC, and additional weekly practices are some of the pre-COVID activities planned by the athletics department. And the athletes are on board!

?I am looking forward to having more games with more people being able to watch!?

- Natalie Haddad While everyone is enthusiastic about competing again, most are just happy to be back with their team. Many athletes in the survey wrote about how they missed the team spirit, the camaraderie. All are glad it?s back, and I couldn?t agree more. I am on the JV Girls Volleyball team and it?s my first time doing a school team sport. The best parts for me have been making friends, supporting my teammates, and just that feeling of being a team player.

?The teams are looking lively and ready give it their best.?

- Daniel Walsh

Overall, as a school community, we are thrilled to be back to normal; additionally, we hope these relaxed guidelines and this enthusiasm continue into seasons two and three.

Review of the I talian Elections

By Tommaso Tricamo

Sou r ce: T i m e

Since the start of la Repubblica Italiana or the Italian Republic in 1946, the Italian people have lived through a staggering 69 governments in 76 years, amounting to an average of a new majority every 1.11 years.

As such, Italian politics are characterized by high fragmentation and instability. The laws which govern the parliamentary process in Italy determine that a government collapses if enough parties leave a majority coalition to form a larger opposition, and consequently, a loss of confidence in the governing coalition and prime minister occurs, leading to a string of fragile and short-lived governments.

So when Prime Minister Conte?s second government collapsed in early 2021 and he resigned, President Mattarella?s appointment of Mario Draghi, or Super Mario, was very much welcomed. Draghi arrived in the midst of the pandemic and was immediately tasked with overseeing the implementation of COVID aid and an effective vaccine rollout. Draghi?s tenure as President of the European Central Bank and one of the main figures in saving the Euro during the Euro crisis earned him a solid reputation amongst Europe?s political elite, and his government of national unity encompassing various parties from across the political spectrum led him to also be greatly respected and admired at home. He successfully achieved what he was brought in to do, which was to boost Italian recovery after the pandemic, all with great support.

But alas, the turmoil of Italian politics prevailed just when it started to look like Draghi could stay in it for the long haul as one of the parties in the broad unity government withdrew their support. Italy?s year and a half of stable and peaceful governance had come to an end.

Draghi resigned as his support in parliament crumbled away (although he remained in post until the new prime minister had formed a cabinet and government), and snap elections were scheduled for late September.

I n stor ms Gior gia M eloni.

Meloni is the leader of the Brothers of Italy (FdI) far-right party and was the biggest of the opposition parties during Draghi?s unity government. Meloni and her nationalist, populist, and borderline neo-fascist party hadn?t been the most prominent faction in recent years.

Her and the party?s popularity remained relatively low even as the right started surging in the country over the past 5 years.

But her refusal to join Draghi?s government in 2021 turned out to be a monumental decision for her party. There?s no doubt that although Draghi ruled as a complete centrist and independent, some of his ideas in foreign policy and his fervent pro-Europeanism skewed left; this meant that Meloni was able to rise and become the face of the right-wing movement in Italy as previously popular colleagues, Matteo Salvini of Lega and Silvio Berlusconi of Forza Italia, focused on helping Draghi rule.

Brothers of Italy and Meloni skyrocketed to become one of the most widely followed parties in Italy, which is why when M5S, the anti-establishment populist party in Draghi?s coalition, withdrew their support, Meloni took her chance and demanded elections over another technocratic fix. Super Mario resigned and now it was time to campaign.

Meloni?s new position as the ascendent force in Italy?s political right led her to take the initiative to create a massive center-right coalition with the two other major parties of the right and a smaller moderate party called Noi Moderati. Additionally she successfully campaigned next to Salvini and Berlusconi, slightly shifting her rhetoric to a more center-right approach to appeal to a wider base of voters and not just the usual jingoist fanatics.

Finally, a humiliatingly disorganized left-wing attempt to form a coalition made way for an easy win on September 25.

Sou r ce: CN N

Sou r ce: N Y T i m es

Giorgia Meloni, having won 26% of the overall vote alone and her coalition winning a clear majority in both chambers of parliament, will become Italy?s first female prime minister.

Her rise to power is not shocking at all. Meloni is just another example of the ascent of extreme nationalism and ultra-conservatism around the world. A protege of Steve Bannon, Meloni spoke at CPAC (annual American conservative convention) twice and within the Republican party was a well known ally. Her political discourse is a clear imitation of what politicians such as Trump and DeSantis are doing now in the US and what others around the world like Bolsonaro, Orban, and even Italy?s own Matteo Salvini have been doing.

" Faced with this, people under stand that in this er a, the only way to be rebellious is to preser ve who we are, the only way to be rebellious is to be conser vative" Giorgia Meloni is simply in theme not only with Italian politics but world politics as well.

Biden and Macron, two moderate and centrist leaders, barely won elections against ultra-conservative opposition, other nationalist right-wing parties are taking ground in Germany, Spain, and Sweden, Viktor Orban is extremely popular and well-liked in Hungary and dictators like Putin in Russia, Xi Jinping in China, Erdogan in Turkey, and Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia are continuing to consolidate power.

Is it fair to call Giorgia Meloni a neo-fascist?

Maybe not (although her passive responses when asked about her party?s fascist voter base and her admiration of Mussolini indicate otherwise) but her promises to bring Italy back to its conservative roots and protect it against unwanted immigrants and crazy EU liberals are frightening the political establishment in the Western world and many are now on high-alert.

ISSEY ISSEY The year 2022 will forever be remembered for birthing new, inspirational artwork and artists from all across the globe. However, it also marks the year we saw a profound loss in the world of fashion. Issey Miyake, a famous Japanese fashion designer, passed away on August 5th of this year at the age of 84 due to apparent liver cancer.

Today, Miyake's work is integral to the fashion industry; they have become pieces of art that are collected and revered. Although Miyake?s designs were seen as minimal and staple, the way he presented his clothes was innovative and original.

Mr. Miyake was recognized and praised for his avant-garde and experimental outlook on fashion and his creative clothing pieces, which were greatly appreciated and influential to the collision of western and eastern fashion styles. It is necessary to honor this wonderful creator in order to grieve and to serve as a reminder to future artists and individuals of the fashion legend who once lived among us. The importance of reflecting on and being reminded of Miyake's journey to the top reminds us that the legacy he will be leaving the world with cannot be overstated.

His shows often featured dancers and performances that helped to solidify his passion and fascination with the movement of the human body. However, Miyake still maintained many traditional elements in his designs. Whether we choose to celebrate his successes or maintain a state of serenity and reflect on his distinctive fashion pieces, here is a tribute to Issey Miyake.

ALL pictures from Pinterest

Issey Miyake was born on April 22 of, 1938.

He majored in graphic design at the Tama Art University, graduating in 1964 at the age of 24. He decided to move to Paris after graduating and enrolled in the prestigious École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in 1965, where he learned more about fashion and built his skills in tailoring and dressmaking. Using the potential of design to meet the demands of everyone's modern and contemporary styles of living has always been Miyake's constant pursuit of new initiatives, designs and ideas. He was significantly remembered as an artist who combined principles of fashion with art and modern technology in his aesthetic. He established a style that connected architecture, sculpture, science, and fashion, which became his trademark and for which people all across the world recognized him.

ISSEY ISSEY

THE THE BEGINNING BEGINNING OF OF ISSEY ISSEY MIYAKE MIYAKE During his time in Tama Art University?s Department of Graphic Design, Japan hosted the World Design Conference. This was the first international design symposium to be held in Japan, and its goal was to foster relationships with the international design community.

While still a university student, Miyake wrote and sent out a letter to the administrative office of the conference questioning why clothing design was excluded from the event.

His emphasis on clothing as a form of creation and design as opposed to the misinterpreted modern conviction of fashion caught the people?s attention. ?

Later, at the request of artist Jo Murakoshi, he began creating original attire and produced clothing for Toyo Rayon's 1963 Timetable.

After gaining more experience and knowledge about the fashion industry and world of couture, Issey Miyake used his experiences from different locations where he has spent time, and he combined aspects of life, culture and style from these vastly different locations into his work. This would later become his trademark, which people all across the world recognized and appreciated him for. In the late ?60?s, Mr. Miyake began his career by spending four years working behind the scenes in studios run by numerous modern-day fashion icons. Guy Laroche, Hubert de Givenchy and Geoffrey Beene were among them.

At the peak of his rising popularity and recognition, New York department store Bloomingdale?s devoted an entire section to selling Miyake?s ?East meets West? look. Simple t-shirts with dyed-on Japanese cultural patterns were included in this collection as well as coats produced with the "Sashiko" technique.

Sashiko is a method of hand sewing that was invented in Japan. This phrase means "little stabs" when translated. Running stitches are used in this stitching technique which is often carried out with white Sashiko thread with an indigo background. His designs transcended cycling trends and gender norms and were described as the definition of staples, being consistent through decades. Reasons such as these made him so adored and honored in the fashion world.

MIYAKE Issey Miyake created things that can always be linked to his name, style, and pieces by fusing ancient, traditional style with contemporary, Western fashion. Miyake constantly linked his creations to origami, it can easily be identified when looking at his work. His experience with different materials and fabric manipulation was a pioneer in the industry. After his initial designs for ?Pleats Please?, similar designs were circulating in the fashion world. After this collection was released, Steve Jobs reached out to Miyake asking him to create a uniform for him; this marked the birth of Steve jobs?iconic turtleneck. In addition, Miyake worked with the world renowned singer David Bowie, creating one of his most iconic suits. Both Mr. Miyake and designer Kansai Yamamoto created and shaped Bowie's ziggy stardust persona.

Years of trial and error helped Miyake and his company arrive at their current position in the market as they sought to replicate the natural movement of the human body in relation to culture and art.

His work does not see gender or size; it is simply fluid and human.

Miyake?s work sought to compliment the beauty of the human form no matter what it looked like.

Miyake and his brand live on to be described as ?Never one to embrace trends. Miyake?s dynamic spirit was driven by a relentless curiosity and desire to convey joy through the medium of design.

Always a pioneer, Miyake both embraced traditional handcrafts but also looked to the next solution: the newest technology driven by research and development. He never once stepped back from his love, the process of making things. He continued to work with his teams, creating new designs and supervising all collections under the various Issey Miyake labels. His spirit of joy, empowerment and beauty will be carried on by the next generations.? -Simon O'Mahony Mikyake used his designs as commentary on the world around him.

He broke down concepts to make them digestible using fashion and transformed them into timeless works of art. Different interpretations of his work will forever continue to be seen years into the future as tribute to the luminary who once dominated the catwalk.

How Milan became a Fashion Capit al By: Leanna Abdelnour

All images from theitalianreve.com

Milan is currently known as the fashion capital of Italy, and it is home to many of the biggest designer fashion brands such as Armani, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu, Moschino, Prada, Valentino, and Versace. Not only that, but Milan also hosts Milan Fashion Week twice each year, which is a very important and anticipated event for fashion enthusiasts.

Milan has had a prominent position in the fashion industry throughout much of history, which began many years ago during the Renaissance.

In the past, fashion trends were set by the monarchy as everyone wanted to dress as luxuriously as they did in order to signify their place in the social hierarchy. During the Renaissance both females and males dressed lavishly with women wearing over-the-top clothing, jewelry, and makeup, while men wore brightly colored tunics featuring embroidery (?How Did Milan Become the Fashion Capital of Italy? - Context Travel?). During this period Milan, Florence, and Rome began creating their own textiles, such as velvet, wool, and silk, which marked the beginning of the competitiveness of the fashion scene in Italy.

Rome and Florence?s competitiveness within the textile industry brought both cities more importance in the fashion world. This set the stage for Milan to emerge as Italy's fashion capital, and its increasing prominence in the fashion industry led to the beginning of Milan Fashion Week.

In 1958, the first Milan Fashion Week was hosted by Camera Sindacale Della Moda Italiana, where designers and fashion brands presented their collections on the runway, as well as, within exhibitions. Then, after 1961 when Milan became the headquarter for Vogue Italia, Milan?s fashion scene began inspiring many different fashion trends. But, the event that epitomized Milan Fashion Week was Versace?s 1991 show, which featured Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista; the models showcasing Versace?s designs embodied intimidation, inspiring the rise of many other fashion houses like Gucci (?A Brief History of Milan Fashion Week?). Towards the end of the 20th century, many Milanese brands and designers gained popularity and an increased importance in the fashion world, like Moschino, Dolce & Gabbana, and Prada (?A Brief History of Milan Fashion Week?).

Throughout history, Milan?s position in the fashion world has increasingly gained importance, with some of the most influential fashion brands and houses being based in Milan, and Milan Fashion Week being held in the city twice a year. Milan - standing next to Paris, London, and New York, and being known as the ?Big Four ? in the fashion world - is recognized for its incorporation of luxury, art, and Italian culture into its fashion scene. The city has claimed a reputation for hosting the most glamorous Fashion Week out of the Big Four, which only further demonstrates Milan?s distinction in the fashion industry.

Iconic Kar - Jenner Halloween Costumes

By Isabel Ber zinji and Leila Dar wish

The Kardashian- Jenner family has been in the public eye for over a decade, and with all this pressure from the media, they have managed to ser ve us iconic Halloween looks ever y year.

Here are the top six costumes that have stayed at the top of our inspir ation boards ever y Halloween.

Kendall Jenner

This golden forest fair y costume, created by Kuwaiti designer Yousef Al Jasmi, was or iginally a bir thday outfit for Jenner in 2019; however, this became a recur r ing inspir ation look for many year s to come and we?ve seen loads of recreation of this look for Halloween.

Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner ?s 2019 Halloween costume recreated Mar ilyn Monroe?s iconic hot pink dress from the 1953 movie ?Gentlemen Prefer Blondes?.

The bizar re resemblance between Jenner and Monroe had people shocked and the pictures cer tainly stuck in people's heads for year s. We love to see this Jenner channel her inner Mar ilyn.

Khloe Kar dashian Khloe Kardashian and her daughter Tr ue Thompson dressed up as Cr uella De Vil and her dalmatian on Halloween in 2019. Her Instagr am post debuted her black and white, dotted, extr avagant costume with her little one dressed as her fur r y sidekick.

Kylie Jenner Kylie Jenner ?s 2016 Halloween costume, where she recreated Chr istina Aguiler a?s look from her album Dirrty.

6 Hal l oween Tr eat s That Wil l Giv eYou t he SpookS BYFARAHSaabneh AND CHRISTIEKoul l oukian

Without tasty and terrifying Halloween goodies, what good is a Halloween party? There is something on this list for everyone, whether it's a social affair for adults and buddies or a joyful celebration for children and their families. These tasty sweets, which range from Spooktacular cookies and pastries to finger nibbles and salty-sweet munchies, will guarantee that everyone attending your party has a spooktacular time.

M UM M Y POPS DI RE CT I ONS Start by placing parchment paper on a baking pan. Straws or lollipop sticks can then be gently dipped in chocolate and then topped with an open Nutter Butter.

Reassemble the biscuit by pressing it together, and then dip it into the chocolate sauce to coat it fully. (Let any remaining chocolate drop back into the pan).

After doing so, put the coated cookie onto the lined baking sheet to cool for approximately 25 minutes. You may put the pops in the fridge for 10 minutes to hasten the process.

Finally, add buttercream to your pastry bag and snip off a straight, flat tip. Pipe the buttercream in a lateral motion. Add more chocolate to another bag. M&M minis should be delicately covered on the backside before being pressed onto cookie pops. To complete your eyes, place a chocolatey dot on each M&M. It is currently prepared; give it at least an hour to completely set.

I NGRE DI E NT S 8 Straws or lollipop sticks 11 oz. chocolate, melted 8 Nutter Butters, opened 1 c. buttercream frosting (homemade or store bought) M&M's Minis, for decorating

M UM M Y H OT DOGS DI RE CT I ONS The oven should be preheated at 375 degrees. Line a sizable parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Divide the croissant pastry into four rectangles, pressing the borders together as needed. Each rectangle should be divided into long, thin slices.

Four strips should be cut from each American cheese slice. Roll a hot dog in the croissant dough to resemble bandages and arrange it on top of a slice of cheese. (For each hot dog, you'll need roughly 4 crescent dough pieces).

Add the remaining ingredients and rehash.

Arrange on a baking sheet that has been prepared and coat with melted butter.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until brown and cooked through.

Put a mustard speck upon every hot dog with a toothpick to make eyes and you?re all done.

I NGRE DI E NT S 1 (8-oz.) can Crescent dough 3 slices American cheese 12 hot dogs 2 tbsp. melted butter Dijon mustard

M ONST ER T RUFFLE I NGRE DI E NT S (14-oz.) package Oreos 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened 1 c. finely chopped Snickers 1/2 c. Reese's Pieces, chopped 1 1/4 c. white chocolate chips 2 tbsp. coconut or vegetable oil 1

Candy eyeballs Purple sprinkles Green gel food coloring

DI RE CT I ONS Grind Oreos in a food processor to create tiny crumbs. Place the crushed Oreos in a medium bowl, then mix in the cream cheese until thoroughly blended. Add Snickers and Reese's and mix thoroughly. Use parchment paper to cover a baking sheet.

Create little balls out of the mixture using a little cookie scoop. Place on a baking sheet that has been prepared and freeze for 30 minutes, or until somewhat firm.

The white chocolate and oil should be combined in a wide microwave-safe bowl. After about two minutes of stirring until consistent, microwave until just liquefied. Utilize 10 drops of the green gel food coloring mixed within the white chocolate, then make sure to continue adding droplets until you get the preferred shade of green.

Take a frozen ball and dip it into the green chocolate that has now been prepared. Completely cover it and then remove it with a fork while allowing the extra melted chocolate to drip back into your bowl. Place it onto a baking sheet containing your parchment paper. Next, place an eyeball into the coated truffle's top side before finishing off with some sprinkles.

W I T CH ES H AT DI RE CT I ONS Begin by placing a fudge stripe cookie on your work surface bottom side up.

Place a tiny bit of honey (approximately 1/8 teaspoon) on the bottom of a chocolate kiss, then stick the candy to the cookie's core, sealing the opening. At the bottom of the candy pieces, on the cookie, pipe a little bow using decorating gel. Add the remaining ingredients and rehash. It?s not necessary to place it into a refrigerator.

I NGRE DI E NT S 2 (16 ounce) packages fudge stripe cookies ¼ cup honey, or as needed 1 (9 ounce) bag milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped 1 (4.5 ounce) tube decorating gel

SPI DER CUPCA K ES I NGRE DI E NT S 1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix 1 pound black shoestring licorice 1 (16 ounce) can white frosting 48 pieces candy corn 48 cinnamon red hot candies

DI RE CT I ONS Grind Oreos in a food processor to create tiny crumbs. Place the crushed Oreos in a medium bowl, then mix in the cream cheese until thoroughly blended. Add Snickers and Reese's and mix thoroughly. Use parchment paper to cover a baking sheet.

Create little balls out of the mixture using a little cookie scoop. Place on a baking sheet that has been prepared and freeze for 30 minutes, or until somewhat firm.

Next, place an eyeball into the coated truffle's top side before finishing off with some sprinkles.

SPOOK Y SNA K E DI RE CT I ONS Baking paper should be used to line a 35 cm by 25 cm baking tray.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas. The puff pastry should be unrolled with the shorter edge placed in front of you onto a lightly dusted surface. Spray the pastry liberally with the egg after beating it in a small basin. Next, add the poppy seeds after finely grating the cheese. Finally, slice the pastry lengthwise into 12 long strips, then twist every strip into a spiral before placing it on the parchment paper that has been set aside. Each strip should have a head and tail that are flattened on both ends.

should then be made out of pumpkin seeds. To create the snakes appear to be crawling, attempt twisting and bending a couple of the strips. Bake for 12 minutes, until either crisp and golden, after carefully transferring the pan to the oven. Then you?re all set.

I NGRE DI E NT S The eyes and mouth 1 x 350 g pack of ready-rolled puff pastry flour , for dusting 1 free-range egg 20 g mature Cheddar cheese 3 tablespoons poppy seeds or sesame seeds 1 tablespoon pumpkin seed

TRUMP MAKE HALLOWEEN GREAT AGAIN By: MackenzieCooper

W

ith the Halloween season fast approaching, let's take a trip down South Ocean Boulevard and examine some of the skeletons in Former President Donald J. Trump's closet (the ones we know about)

Warning: Bad Behavior Ahead

Source: Pintrest

Two long years ago, Donald J. Trump orchestrated one of the worst attacks on American democracy in history. He ordered a mob of his supporters to viciously attack the Capitol Building at exactly 2:11pm to protest against the election results and to prevent the important Presidential transfer of power. .

Watching the attack unfold live on TV was like someone played a sick trick on the American people-the unthinkable became reality. Now, why did this attack even happen in the first place?. Its purpose was to deliver a message of fear and hate towards those who voted against Trump. On that frightening day, an act of home grown terror was inflicted on the country .

Well that infamous day has now come to haunt Mr. Trump. This past summer, Americans were tuned into the January 6th Senate Committee hearings. People tuned in just like they did almost 50 years ago when another Senate Committee convened to discuss the dirty tricks of former president Richard Nixon known as Watergate. Former White House aide and ?Whistleblower? Cassidy Hutchinson emerged from the shadows of the Oval Office and stepped forward to share her personal accounts of the activities in the While House on that scary day.

Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was the lead Republican in the trial.

"The sacred obligation to defend this peaceful transfer of power has been honored by every American president, except one,? she was quoted as saying, a powerful message, proving that Trump could not leave the oval office without a fight.

Following Mr. Trump's delivery of 15 boxes of records to the National Archives in January 2022, the criminal investigation got under way. More than 150 documents marked as classified were discovered when archivists investigated the material; they then forwarded the case to the Justice Department.

Government records and assertions by Trump's attorneys indicate that the federal government made many attempts to get the secret materials from Trump before resorting to a search of his Florida property. The three criminal violations listed in the search warrant as the basis of the investigation are obstruction, hiding or destroying official records, and the Espionage Act, which makes it unlawful to maintain secrets of national security. Recently, Trump, his children, and a couple of his companies have been sued by the state of New York over fraud.

A $250,000,000 compensation is being asked for his penalties. Trump released a statement on his media site, Truth Social: ?Another Witch Hunt by a racist Attorney General, Letitia James,? Mr. Trump wrote, adding, ?She is a fraud who campaigned on a ?get Trump? platform.? We are not new to Trump's harassment and inappropriate comments against people trying to defend

When there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the US president nominates a candidate, who is subsequently confirmed by the US Senate, the oldest being Chief Justice John G. Roberts, nominated by George W. Bush. In February 2016, former Associate Justice Antonin Scalia passed away, which meant there was an open spot for a new SCJ member. Barack Obama stated that he should be the one to nominate the new associate justice, but Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said it was the responsibility of the new president as Scalia died during the last year of Obama's presidency. Unfortunately, McConnell won, which meant it was new president Donald Trump's pick.

Trump chose Neil Gorsuch, an American lawyer who was a judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Then Brett Kavanaugh was appointed when Anthony Kennedy retired. Most recently, Amy Coney Barrett was appointed when Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away. The irony of that situation is that Barrett and Ginsburg both believed in very different ideals. Ginsburg believed women had the right to an abortion, while Barrett had a completely different opinion.

During the long four years of Trump's presidency, he created policies and acts that not only contradicted what was already in place, but completely embarrassed the country in front of the rest of the world. Some of the laws and economic policies he put into place included individual and corporate tax cuts, efforts to repeal Obamacare, restrictions on immigration, deregulation of the energy and financial industries, protectionist policies. During the Obama administration, one of the most controversial environmental regulations was put into place; WOTUS. The rule's primary goal was to specify which waterways were subject to federal control. Then in 2015, the term was updated to include tributaries and nearby water basins that are near federal waterways. The Trump administration tried to undo these modifications in 2017. The rule was then revoked in 2019, thereby turning back the definitions from the Obama administration. Now, polluters will no longer need a permit to harmfully discharge dangerous substances into various wetlands and streams around the United States. Now that is an environmentalist's worst nightmare. It is unbelievable that Trump had the nerve to try to undo Obamacare, WOTUS, immigration laws, and inplace corporate tax cuts. Don't even get me started on ?I would build a great wall.?

Unfortunately, there is not enough room in my article to write about every Trump trick or skeleton in his many closets (at Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, etc? .). Not to worry, the U.S. Department of Justice has it covered with the investigation of the Top Secret Documents and the conclusion of the January 6 Committee.

These investigations will make every Republican feel like Dr. Frankenstein when he realizes the horrible mistake he made in bringing his monster to life and there is nothing he can do to stop it.

Americans have been sitting through a never ending horror film with goosebumps, heart racing, nail biting, waiting for the next demon to appear.

No doubt the American people will continue to find skeletons in the Trump closet for years to come. Just like Freddy Kruger, it may seem like we will never get rid of him but in the end the good guy always wins.....unless there is a sequel.

SPOOKIEST HALLOWEEN STORIES

BY: EMMA CHEBAKLO

Last year it was the week before Halloween, and I was told

Em m a Cheba k l o

my entire friend group and half of the grade were invited to a Halloween party.Since I was one of the only girls not invited to it, my best friend asked if I could be plus-oned to the party as her guest. The host said no since he ?didn?t have any space? and forced everyone attending to get a PCR test 24 hours before entering his house. The other four girls from the grade who weren?t invited started a hate club towards the host, which lasted a week because we all forget about it after a while. At the end of the day, my friends went to the party where they could easily have had 60 more people fit, and I spent my Halloween eating candy from Carefour on the couch with my dog.

Last Halloween I planned my costume in August, and ordered it five weeks beforehand. I was going as a Charlie's Angel and was so excited to wear my outfit with friends. It was a week before Halloween and my costume still hadn?t arrived. I had no backups and no other ideas for this huge party I was going to. I waited for an hour before my party to see if the costume was going to turn up; spoiler it didn?t, and was left to the realization I had no Halloween costume and I was also running extremely late. Long story short I wore a random tie dye set I found in my closet and said I was a hippie from the 80s.

Lo ul w a Ka l o

On Halloween in the seventh grade my friends and I were trick or treating around a compound one of my friends lived in. By the end of the night, we were all sitting around eating our candy and we started playing truth or dare. Someone dared me to kiss one of my best guy friends on the cheek.

He got so excited, but as I leaned in I changed my mind and slapped him across the face. He started crying and I still remember that every Halloween.

Chr i s t i e KOULLOUKIAN

When I was six, my mom bought me a Halloween costume to wear to school; it was this intricate witch costume ,she told me I had to wear jeans underneath it: I refused and when she was getting me dressed for school I threw a tantrum and refused to put the jeans on because it ?ruined the outfit?. My mom told me I could wear the jeans or she wouldn?t let me go to school at all with the costume. I spent that Halloween crying following my mom around as she ran errands all day wearing a witch costume with jeans underneath.

KARM A SAQFELHAIT

Last year I was invited onto a Halloween boat, I got dressed with a bunch of friends and left right on time. When we got to the dock we found out that the boat wasn?t even there and there were still people on it from the previous party. We got on the boat two hours late and we finally left at 11:30, that night my curfew was at 1:30. By one the party was still getting started but I needed to leave so I got a speed boat to come pick me up from the boat. I missed half of the party and in the end was still late to my curfew.

The History o

of Halloween

By: Alizeh Fatima and Selena Hussein

"Halloween is a day on which some people choose to wear a mask, while others finally feel safe to take theirs off."

- Steve Maboli Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31st. It is the one time of the year when mystery and magic take over the world. Halloween is a celebration that alludes to the fact there is a child in every one of us. Halloween has always been a tradition, going all the way back to the Celts, who lived more than 2,000 years ago. The Celts had created a festival named "Samhain," which was celebrated on November first.

This day marked the beginning of winter and the end of summer. According to the website history.com, "Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.? During the celebration of Samhain, the Celts constructed bonfires on hilltops to startle evil spirits and wore masks to avoid being recognized by ghosts.

The association of witches, ghosts, and fairies is often linked to Halloween due to the Celts' belief in the dead and living reuniting on the 31st. As time passed on, Halloween continued to spread across different regions. In 43 AD, the Roman Empire conquered Celtic land, and Roman festivals integrated with the traditional festival of Samhain.

History.com states, "as the beliefs and customs of different European ethnic groups and the American Indians meshed, a distinctly American version of Halloween began to emerge. The first celebrations included "play parties," which were public events held to celebrate the harvest. Neighbors would share stories of the dead, tell each other?s fortunes, dance, and sing.? Halloween gained its popularity during the mid-1900s.

During this time, America was packed with immigrants. These new immigrants brought along the celebration of Halloween, which spread nationally.

Halloween, previously known as All Hallows Eve, is a day where people dress up in many variations of spooky costumes. The pumpkins, also known as the Jack-O-Lantern, have a very significant history, according to Irish mythology: pumpkins represent how 'stingy Jack?invited Satan for a drink and tricked him into not taking his soul. In some places in Ireland, Halloween wasn?t a spooky event, instead a matchmaking one bobbing for apples. This was a regular activity during Halloween which supposedly would find you a husband. Instead of wearing spooky masks to deter evil spirits, it's become a day of dressing up, going "trick or treating," and carving pumpkins. For many years, Halloween was frowned upon by many European countries, excluding Ireland, but once Irish settlers arrived in the United States of America, it became a more celebrated holiday. Pranks were very common, which led to the ?trick?part of 'trick or treat'.

As the years passed by, Halloween has become one of the most popular holidays, with millions all around the world dressing up in spooky costumes, begging for candy, and embracing our inner child!

TOP 10 HORROR MOVIES TO WATCH THIS HALLOWEEN By: Sabine Ser han Halloween is coming up in just a few days, so there is no better time to watch horror movies with friends, family, or on your own! Finding a movie to watch can be a hassle. Finding a boring movie is not worth the amount of time spent looking for one. Reading synopsis after synopsis is time consuming, so I narrowed it down to ten of the best horror movies to watch or rewatch this Halloween!

10. Ready or Not Ready or Not is a horror and thriller movie about a young woman that is forced to play a game with her new in-laws. The game initially seems to be a harmless game of hide and seek, which later turns into a bloodbath that exposes the family's psychotic tradition. The movie has a strong female lead and an intriguing plot that keeps you captivated from start to finish.

9. Insidious

Sou r ce: Vox

The Insidious movie series is made up of four movies in which the first and last two are connected. Insidious follows a family sensing paranormal activity in their house. They soon learn that it is happening due to one of the kids constantly astral projecting and entering a dangerous realm. There are many jump scares in this movie, though the CGI is not the best due to the age of the movie. The second movie fills in gaps you never noticed in the first movie, which further explains the plot.

8. The Cur se of La Ll or ona After visiting a traumatized household, a widowed social worker, Anna Garcia, pulls two boys away from their mother and places them in another home just for them to turn up dead the next morning. She, then, finds out that their mother was protecting them from a legendary ghost that haunts the city of Los Angeles and only kills kids. The ghost's name is La Llorona which translates into weeping mother. The ghost is now out to get Anna's children, and the only hope of them surviving is Father Perez, who is a priest. This movie has plenty of jump scares and keeps you entertained the entire time!

Sou r ce: I M D b

7. Annabel l e: Cr eat ion Annabelle: Creation is the second movie in the Conjuring Universe and is about a doll, Annabelle. This movie tells the story of a dollmaker, Samuel Mullins, and his family. When a local orphanage shuts down, Samuel and his wife open up their home to six orphans and a nun, Sister Charlotte. The Mullins have a rule for the orphans which bars them from entering their dead daughter 's old bedroom. One of the orphans does not listen and finds a way into the room, where they release a vicious entity trapped in the Annabelle doll.

6. The Conj ur ing : The Devil Made Me Do It The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is the third movie in the Conjuring movie trilogy and the eighth in the Conjuring Universe. This movie is based on a true story. It shares the case of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, who was accused of murdering his landlord back in 1981. In this movie, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren discover whether or not paranormal activity was involved in this case. The best part about the Conjuring Universe is that there is always a compelling storyline that allows the characters' personalities to be displayed, giving the movies in the series depth and making them interesting.

Sou r ce: I M D b

5. The Conj ur ing The Conjuring is another movie that is based on a true story and is the first movie in The Conjuring trilogy. It follows the Perron family shortly after they move into a new house. In their new house, they are witnessing a lot of paranormal activity, so they decide to contact demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren in hopes that they will help rid the house of evil. The jump scares in this movie are incredible, and the case is fascinating. You can now visit the house that this movie is based on and even stay overnight!

1. The Conj ur ing 2 The Conjuring 2 follows a family of five: a single mother, Peggy and her four kids. They start to experience unusual events at their new house. Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren travel to England to visit the family; they notice that one of the kids is showing signs of demonic possession and agree to help out. In this movie, you learn a lot more about the Warrens and their personal life. The Conjuring 2 is filled with plot twists and jump scares, and, in addition to this, it has a well thought out and thorough plot. An interesting fact about this movie is that like the other Conjuring movies; it is based on a true story.
