I, Robot: Could it Really Happen?
I,Robot is an old movie going back about 12 years ago starring famous comedy actor Will Smith. This movie is a thriller/action packed movie but the question is will it be our FUTURE!!!! Well this is Sci-fi film so it can really happen if…… 1. If we as humans are still alive, and 2. If tech gets more advanced. Tech has to become very advanced to activate these type of robots and who knows some genius might make it and use it in a good way or bad way. Now let’s go back to the movie which is Detective Del Spooner of course played by Will Smith. He takes on the challenge to try and stop the robots and help the world as the movies goes on he gets hurt badly by the robots. Now how can you you relate to today, and what would it be like? It might it happen just like in the movie or even worst and that’s what got people freaked out because they thought the world was ending and robots were going to rule the earth but 12 years has past since the movie and guess what……. Nothing happened…….YET!!!!! We still time before us and no one can say what will happen tomorrow or next week or even next month or next year!!!!!! So Stay on the watch especially the year 2035 because the year it took place!!!! Now we switch to can Jaden Smith be in I,Robot 2 you see it’s over sorry to say, Jaden Smith does have his dad’s aggression to do this movie plus his son is always around girls!!!!! No offense but some things he will copy some of the traits that his dad had during his lifetime!!!!!

Newsflash! Cows Have Favorite Playlists Too
By Marko Wojcickyj
Researchers at the University of Leicester were trying to test if music can comfort animals like it comforts us. They found out that different types of music helped cows produce 3% more milk than cows listening to the sounds of milking machines. In 2014 a modern farmer was trying to find out what type of music cows like. They searched for songs that made the cattle more productive and interviewed farmers to find out what worked for them. They created soulful and slow music playlists. Music helps the cows produce more milk because it soothes them and keeps them calm.

The Evolution of Batman
By Joshua Ninan
Batman WOW!!!!!!! I can’t even explain but i’ll try. OK here's where it starts. The first batman was made in 1943 acted by Lewis Wilson before my grandpa was born it was hit everyone loved the concept and it went on. The next batman was Adam West from 1966-68 he was good but not the best it was in black and white and not a lot of action. After about two decades they returned starring Michael Keaton this only lasted from 1989-92 and Phil from Hercules my fav disney movie was in it (Danny Devito). The next batman was Val Kilmer I liked him playing the role guest star appearances in this was Jim Carrey he made his jokes here and there to try to take Gotham City for himself ganging up with Two-Face acted by (Tommy Lee Jones) but Batman comes out and shows his true colors and defeats the villains. Batman and robin was a great combo finishing off that year as one of the best superhero movies starring alicia silverstone, Chris O'Donnell and George Clooney. George Clooney was the main attraction, also Chris O’Donnell and Alicia Silverstone were in the previous movie. After 8 years no they wanted to make batman more violent/thriller and crime/action so they did this by adding Christian Bale (which I think is the best batman) also superstar Katie Holmes. He went on with The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.Now we fast forward to today’s batman played by Ben Affleck. In 2016 they are trying to throwback a batman with his old body trying to fight a young healthy superman!!!! There still the future for Batman you never know who could be next?

River Country Abandoned Water Park
By: Marko Wojcickyj
“River Country is the kersplashingest, kid happiest, slippery slidingest, raft ridingest, rope swingingest, swan divingest, summer swimmingest, sun snoozingest, picnickingest, old-fashioned, good, clean wet American fun you've ever had!" “Bring a swimsuit and a smile. You're likely to wear both out, at River Country.” These were some of the words that Disney used to attract guests to visit Walt Disney's first ever water park. River Country, which debuted at Walt Disney World in Florida in 1976. Sounds fun, doesn’t it?
Fast forward to today, and River Country still stands next to Bay Lake, not far from the Magic Kingdom. The slides are still in place. The pools are full of water. Safety signs advise guests of what they should and shouldn’t do. There’s just one problem. The park is completely abandoned, and has been for more than 13 years. The slides are gradually disappearing underneath dense plant life, and swimming in the dank pools is not advisable. In short, Disney’s River Country is decaying and dissolving, the millions of visitors that passed through its gates now a thing of the past. And it’s all happening right in front of our very eyes – parts of the park are still clearly visible from boats passing by on Bay Lake, while the entire area stands just meters away from the Fort Wilderness Resort.
If you’re a Disney fan, you’ve probably heard of River Country. Striking images of its abandoned state have spread like wildfire across the web and social media in recent years, and you may even have visited the park during its 25 years in operations.
However, while photographs of the decaying River Country are easy to come by. Why, and how did Disney build a water park in the first place? What was it like to visit? Why did it shut down? Why didn’t Disney destroy it? And could it ever open again in the future? I don’t think so. The answers to these questions are out there, spread across hundreds of articles on dozens of websites. Yet, to our knowledge, no-one has pulled them together before into a single, reasonable account of the rise, fall and decay of a park that many hold to their hearts.

Winter Fun is Coming!
By Rachel Reiner
What would you like to do this winter? I would like to continue to do my best in school. Now that the temperature has dropped, we can all practice winter fun! I’m going to continue to ice skate. You may want to go Ice skating on a Friday night at Floyd Arena. We haven’t had a lot of snow, but I can’t wait until it snows. Once it snows, we can go sleigh riding too! I enjoy sleigh riding with my family and friends. One day I would like to try snow-tubing. After, we can go inside for hot chocolates to warm up! Make sure you dress nice and warm, so you can enjoy all the winter fun.

Super Mario Bros.Z is Being Remade
For those of you who has been following the discounted show Super Mario Bros.Z, you know it has ended but now real finale the show had ended but never got to the point that the creator had intended. The reason that it ended was because the creator had pushed to much to create more episodes to the point of the show not being fun to create and become a bothersome. Well now he has finally started it back and is rebooting it. For those of you who don't know Super Mario Bros.Z go check it out its amazing. The action consists of Dragon Ball Z styled action, plus Mario characters, comedy and little bit of Sonic characters. Using Sprite animation, the first episode remade has been added on his site. Honestly the show is really good and I suggest anyone to just try it, especially those of you who like RPG games, Mario, Dragon Ball Z or anime in general. If you want to watch it here's the link to the site. www.newgrounds.com/collection/supermariobrosz -Lascelles Morrsion

Everyone's Favorite Fish is Back in Finding Dory
Finding Nemo, everyone watched this Disney film as a child and we all loved it! But after almost 12 years after its release, Disney is making a sequel called Finding Dory! Though this not might be new news to some since Ellen DeGeneres, voice of Dory, announced it’s making in 2013, but recently a trailer was released by Ellen and we are excited. The plot of the movie is that Dory, a blue fish who is friends with Nemo and Marlin, is well known to have short term memory and forgetting things every few seconds, but now that she is starting to remember things about her past, family and friends. That’s when she has to go on an adventure to find out her past, who was her family, where are they, and what happened to them? For those excited for the new release, the movie will be shown in theaters on June 17, 2016. Just keep swimming!
The Art of Rangoli
Here are a couple videos of Rangoli, made for the Indian holiday Diwali! Remember, this takes a lot of practice in order to get it right. For example, you have to hold the sand in a VERY specific way between your index finger and thumb, or all of the sand will fall out of your fingers. Don't think it's as easy as it looks, unless you think it looks hard!
Note: The person in the video "EASY RANGOLI" does NOT speak English. (To learn more about Diwali, go on The Food Page to get a brief background and description of the food that is involved in this holiday!) |

Have Nothing to Do on Friday?
By Ajia and Lascelles Morrison
Like us, some people can't or don't want to go to the Halloween Canteen and might be bored out of their mind. But not to fret, we have ways to keep you nice and interested that Friday! One thing I suggest is pretty obvious, to go over a friend’s or have some friends over and enjoy the night. Maybe even order a pizza, or Wing Zone. But the biggest problem with this is that most likely a lot of your friends would be at the canteen or be too short noticed for some parents. But there are still some ways to stay entertained: play some video games with friends or try to go to the local buffet with your friends and family. For people who just want some “me time,” there are some other ways that will keep your spirits lifted! Why don’t you watch some YouTube videos or enjoy a self involved disco party? And you can still order that pizza, some soda, and record a marathon of your favorite TV shows for yourself. Or, you know, you could just do whatever you do best, whether it’s reading, listening to music, expressing yourself through a form of art, or whatever you find fun (WITHIN REASON)! “Man, enjoy yourself and have a dang good one (Etika)."
