GOAL! Two equally matched teams face off in a game of soccer at Bechtel Compound. High school students from ISG Jubail and Al-Hussan won?t let the fact that schools haven?t opened stop them from organising a soccer match. ?Its?s nice to get together, see your friends and play a game, especially since schools aren?t opening any time soon,?said Majd Hakki, a player from the away team (Al-Hussan).

THE RETURN OF JAGUAR TV ISG Jubail's iconic YouTube channel that mysteriously shut down

By Lina A.

Jaguar TV was a student-led show on youtube run by Ms Gorneau, a teacher at ISG Jubail, who unfortunately left at the end of the 2018-2019 school year; her departure resulted in the immediate termination of Jaguar TV. According to Mr Wingers, the end of Jaguar TV was "in-part due to our adoption of the IBDP and in-part due to staffing and the departure of the Digital Media teacher, Ms. Gorneau, who was instrumental in the Jaguar TV production."

I surveyed students in grades 8-12, and 20 people responded:

BY THE NUMBERS

100% of students surveyed at ISG jubail wanted Jaguar TV to come back.

50% of students surveyed wanted to join Jaguar TV if it became an after school.

Mr Wingers continued on and pointed out that the current 7th graders are taking a Digital Media class and the 10th graders are taking a Journalism class, yet the student TV show has yet to return. When asked if he would support Jaguar TV becoming a high school afterschool club, he indicated he was in full support of the idea. In fact, all the digital media tech equipment are still there and ready for use once school opens again. Who knows? Perhaps when school opens up, we may have our very own student-led TV show return!

"Jaguar TV was extremely great for students to know whats happening. It was good for things to look forward in the following week/month. It would be great to bring it back!"

WILL IT BE SAFE? Things you need to know about the Covid-19 vaccine

By Hala Saleh

As of December 2, 2020, according to The New York Times, researchers around the world were testing 57 vaccines in clinical trials on humans, 13 of which had reached the final stages of testing.

Out of 40 responses

According to BBC News, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is different from a typical vaccine. A typical vaccine is made by taking viruses or bacteria and weakening them so the body has a memory of it and will fight it off before it makes us ill. The Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine is a new type called mRNA, and it was genetically engineered based on a tiny piece of the virus's genetic code. This vaccine took less time to create than a normal vaccine, which could take many years.

82.5%

BBC Newsreports that about 43,000 people took the vaccine and there have been no alarming safety concerns so far.

Arab News reports on Saudi Arabia's plan for Covid-19 vaccination: "Those who have not tested positive for Covid-19 will be given priority in the vaccine campaign in the coming months," said Dr. Adbullah Asiri, the Saudi Arabian health ministry 's assistant undersecretary for preventive health. However, he said under-16-year-olds are not to be vaccinated unless research for tests proves there to be a need. The Kingdom plans to announce a clear schedule of vaccine arrival in the coming weeks.

from staff and students at ISG Jubail

47.5% people think the vaccine will be out

57.5% people think the vaccine will be 80%effective

SPEAK UP! "Better to get immunity with the vaccine designed by science than be infected with a virus with so many after effects and possible death."

- Dr. Lindsey Gish, Ph. D.

"The reason why I won't be getting the vaccine when it's out is because there might still be some side effects I wouldn't know about and honestly, I want to see if the vaccine works. I like to see information about something before I use it. " - Jacques Marais, grade 11 NOVEMBER - DECEMBER, 2020

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER, 2020

We asked students and staff "If you could have voted f or the president and vice president of the U.S. on Nov. 3, who would you have chosen?"

Out of approximately 500 people, 45 people responded to the survey. Below are some of the reasons people chose their candidates.

Molly D.., grade 9 JOE BIDEN

Any other party aside from Trump and Biden was never going to get enough votes to make any difference in the polls because not enough people know about them. Biden is the better of two evils; he believes in and promised to take action against climate change, he is less racist, misogynistic, and homophobic than Trump, and has a plan to deal with the pandemic. Trump had no experience in the political field before running for president, has a blatantly obvious bias in the supreme court, and has extremely backward views on so many things.

H angout s or Google Chat ?

Which do you prefer? Hangouts or Google Chat?

By Asma Sheltami (Grade 10) Google Hangouts is Google's longest video/messaging service.

Google Hangouts is used by top brands such as Dell, Coca-Cola and Top-man.

Google Hangouts is a cheap and versatile tool. It improves your organization and communicate more.

Google Hangouts was created on May 15th 2013. It will be fully shut down in 2021.

Google Hangouts is a cross-platform messaging and video chatting app. I t was created by Google and was released on M ay 15, 2013. Google Hangouts is known for its features, such as read receipts, video calling directly, variety of emojis, and lastly suggested words. This platform has been a sensation for over 7 years. This is the longest messaging app Google launched that hasn't been shut down .

34 responses from middle school to high school students in I SG Jubail I nternational School.

Although Google Chat is efficient, I like Google Hangouts better. I relished the read receipt feature, the emojis, and it's so much more natural. I t took me about two weeks to get used to it. For someone who didn't use Google hangouts before Google Chat, I can only imagine how hard it must've been for them to manage Google Chat.

L eila Bessalah, Grade 10

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER, 2020

09 Google Chat is brilliantly organized. It is provided as part of Google Workspace.

This app includes direct messaging, there's also a new feature called rooms, which classes or teams.

Google Chat is integrated with G Suite so you can share documents and manage appointments from chat.

Google Chat's initial release was in 2017, its stable release was in 2020. It will be free in 2021.

Features Comparison Google Chat was developed by Google. I t was initially released in 2017, it was stably released in 2020.

You can use this platform on Android, iOS and the Web, it is a communication software, which is currently only available to Google Workspace users. I ts current competitors are Slack and M icrosoft Teams. I t is one of two apps that constitute the replacement for Google Hangouts and Google M eet.

I prefer Google Chat better because you can delete messages. You can additionally close the conversation with a reaction, and you can click on a message without it informing the other person that you viewed it, which provides you more time to think about a response.

How Does M u sic Af f ect Teen ager s?

Beh avior an d Em ot ion s? By : Ahmad Bin Tamrin

According to Rebecca Laclair in the "HuffPost" blog post, "Why Teens Need Their Music", music is the teenager?s language. They try to make a sense of how they see their own world whenever it does not make sense.

Laclair writes: "So why is music important to teens? It turns out that there is a connection between how the brain develops during adolescence and how young people hear music. Overrun by emotions and a prefrontal cortex demanding instant gratification, many young people seek advice from peers instead of parents when faced with difficult decisions. They aren't doing this to make [parents] mad; they're searching for their identity. They have to question [their parents'] values, even when they agree with them. Why? They're facing pressures you never did: exorbitant college tuition costs, the demand for an elusively 'perfect' social media presence, and the unrealistic idea that a student can and should do well in every subject. Looming over them is the worry that after graduation, when faced with adulthood, there won't be many jobs available."

As you can read in the following quotes from students, music is much, much more than background sound for teenagers.

"

Teenagers listen to music to express their feelings, emotions, sense of self. So why do teens need music in their life?

"There?s a variety of Music I prefer listening to. It mostly revolves around rap music, party music, and it also depends on my feelings as well. I prefer rap music mostly because I grew up listening to it. Rap music give me more of a freestyle and rich type of vibes. Nowadays, rap music also involve lyrics which you can relate to. Depending on the current mood, I could listen to depressing music because it?s the best way I can part ways with my life situations, or just remember the good old days.

Sometimes, party music bring a feeling of nostalgia which best believe is the greatest feeling ever."

Har r is (For m er ISG Ju bail St u den t ), Fr esh m an NOVEMBER - DECEMBER, 2020

"Ok so I listen to really chill music and a lot of RNB, a lot of Daniel ceasar, sza, The Weeknd. That kind of music that isn?t part of a toxic music industry, and I listen to artists that make me feel good, and when I listen their music, it?s important for me to feel like the artist is talking to me, kind of like we?re having a conversation that nobody else knows about haha.

HOW'S IB GOING?

By Anika Aharwal

IB students have been in 100% virtual school since March 10, 2020.

Here's a snapshot of how it's been going: PHOTOS YEARBOOK 2019-20

NOOR ADIL, GRADE 12 ?IB during virtual school was something I was definitely not expecting. However, af t er h avin g t o adju st w it h t h e on lin e syst em it 's n ot so bad. I appreciate the fact that our teachers are able to teach us well and prepare us for IB even through a laptop screen and sometimes with horrible internet connections. For the f u t u r e IB st u den t s: I w ish you t h e best an d h ope you lear n a lot f or t h is exper ien ce. At the end of the day it's all dependent on you and how you want to get through IB, your perception is what matters. There m ay be som e u ps an d dow n s, but once you press the submit button for your major assignments, you'll be able to reflect on the effort you put and the sleepless nights, with a sense of accomplishment and pride. Keep in mind that once you start IB you've begun your last 2 years of high school, and t h ey w ill f ly by f ast , so m ak e t h em m em or able.?

I FEEL SO STRESSED!!!

Sign s an d h ow t o deal w it h st r ess What is stress?

By Aarti P.

What causes stress?

Your body gets stressed when you have something on your mind, which you can't find the solution for. Such as, when you have multiple important assignments which have a close date, and you don't know what to do, your stress gets stressed. It is under pressure for something it can't get a solution for, can't think because of the nervousness and pressure.

Her e ar e a f ew exam ples of h u ge r eason s f or st r ess:

-

Facing big changes.

Being under lots of pressure. worrying about something.

Not having much or any control over the outcome of a situation.

Having responsibilities that you're finding overwhelming.

Times of uncertainty.

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER, 2020

17

What are symptoms of stress?

You don't just "know that you're stressed." Your body addresses it through physical body symptoms. In the pictures below are some of them. Remember, stress can have major long term problematic health symptoms, so you have to really take care of yourself and avoid such "stress causing "situations.

How to deal with stress 101 When you're stressed you just don't take care of yourself mentally, but also physically. These are times when your brain and body is fragile towards everything, so taking care of yourself is really important. Do things you enjoy, things that relax your mind, and therefore your body.

For example, do paintings, hangout with friends , play sports, etc. Some other things that help are yoga, meditation, exercising. Don't touch any electronics or play video games as there as high chances that your brain will get more stressed. Another important thing is to eat healthy, not any chocolates or unhealthy foods, as you need those important fluids and vitamins in your body for your brain to keep functioning

Solar Energy is simply the light and heat that comes from the sun. This heat and light can be harnessed for many reasons.

With the help of solar panels, solar energy can be converted into other forms of energy such as electricity.

"Solar energy is important! The energy source is constant, thereby not depleting the Earth of natural resources. More importantly there are no emissions from using solar energy which obviously keeps our environment clean."

Fu n Fact !

A bunch of solar cells put together make up a solar panel. Usually, there are 32 solar cells in a solar panel.1 single solar cell isn?t capable of powering households, which is why there are many solar cells.

Ms.Rebecca Cays (English teacher) NOVEMBER - DECEMBER, 2020

19 17

How do solar pan els w or k ?

Information from: NASA

Just like how our body is made of many cells, the solar panels are also made up of smaller units called solar cells. A solar cell is an electronic device which directly converts sunlight into electricity.

The solar cells absorb the sun's rays, however, there is a particular wavelength at which the sunlight can be absorbed. After absorption of sunlight, electrons start to flow, generating an electric current.

The wiring captures the electrical current and combines it with power from other solar cells.

There are 2 types of currents: AC(Alternating current) and DC(Direct current). The type of current which most of the appliances in our household use is AC current. However, the power which comes from the solar panels is in the form of DC current. Thus, this DC current then goes to an inverter which converts the DC current into AC current, and this AC current then goes to your house.

Think ing For war d...

What are your thoughts on solar ener gy? Do you think it should be used more?

How do you imagine a solar powered city to look like? Would you want to live there?

Ahmad Bin Tamrin (Grade10)

"Solar energy is a major source of potential and helps to benefit the living conditions of people. It can lead to an increase in population, help the poor by providing them source of energy leading to a better lifestyle. I would surely love to live in a solar powered city, since I would myself know that I am not harming the environment. In my imagination, a solar powered city would have no pollution. Everything from cars to factories would be powered by solar energy."

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER, 2020

Khalid Tanbedawy (Grade11)

"Solar energy is a much cleaner way to get energy, as it is produced without emitting harmful gases to the environment. Solar power is much more efficient than other types of ways to produce energy. Much less electricity is lost when using it. A solar powered city is one of the future projects in many countries but I can't really imagine how we might need to adapt for such changes to take place. Lastly, solar power is a lot cheaper than most other ways of retrieving energy."
