Old Man Hawkeye
By Jason Adamoli
"Old man Hawkeye” is marvels latest project, taking place 5 years before marvels “old man Logan” series. According to the writer Ethan sacks, in an interview with the daily news “in this story, he’s losing his vision, and that sort of forces him to confront something really horrible that happened to him personally 45 years ago”
It takes place in a world where most the villains banded together, and managed to kill most of the avengers. Few survivors remain, and even fewer are willing to fight. The first issue will be available in January of 2018.
Personally, I a rather excited for this new addition to the world “Old Man Logan” began, which we only got a taste of. This is exciting, and different from what marvel normally makes, and I'm excited to get my hands on the first issue come January.

Rookie Rapper Aims to be Biggest in Game
By Isiah Tapia
The biggest female rapper out right now goes by the stage name Cardi B. Her most famous song “Bodak Yellow” reached number one on the Billboard charts. Her song also received a certified platinum award.
“Bodak Yellow” is such a hit almost everyone knows the song and she's getting a lot more fans which is boosting her popularity even more. Cardi is considered one of the biggest female rappers currently out there. Her boyfriend Offset supported Cardi on her success of her song.
If you haven't heard the song “Bodak Yellow,” you can find it on any type of music site right now sites like Pandora, Spotify, Soundcloud, Youtube and local radio stations. Youtube would be the best place to find it right now with over 200 million views and still skyrocketing with a lot more views with the boost of popularity that she made with this song if she keeps producing songs like this then her career will just keep getting bigger and bigger.
Cardi is still an up and coming rapper. She's not the biggest in the game right now, but she has made a huge impact because of her song and the flow that she actually borrowed from rapper Kodak Black. She used a little bit of his flow from the song “No Flocking” in the chorus of her “Bodak Yellow” song. If she continues to keep her flow, she will go from being a rookie to a vet really quick in the rap game.

Neir: Automata, is an action RPG made by Platinum Games where you control androids, and, fight the robot menace to reclaim earth for humanity. In this world, aliens invade earth and humanity flees to the moon while sending androids to defeat the enemy; you play as one of these androids.
You play as 2B, a combat unit who can dual wield multiple combinations of weapons. The second character you can play as is 9S, a scout unit who uses only one weapon at a time. His main way of attack is hacking where you play a short mini game then you can destroy the robot or control it. You can give your characters stat boosts or extra abilities in the form of chips, they come in a variety of abilities such as boosting speed, defense, attack power, etc. They can also give you special abilities like giving your weapons a ranged projectile every time you swing.
There are many ways to customize your loadouts. There are 4 main types of weapons light swords, heavy swords, spears, and combat bracers. Light swords are small and have fast combos. Heavy swords are big and slow but have reach. Spears use a stab instead of a slice. And combat bracers are fist weapons that have balanced combo. 2B has a main and secondary weapon, each weapon has a different combo for each of these slots and each weapon type has a combo with other types as well so you can mix and match to see what you like. 9S can only use one weapon at a time but each weapon still has two combos, a mash combo where you do a combo as normal and a delay combo where you wait a moment for each button press.
There are 5 main endings to this game, and 21 Joke endings where you do something and get a bad ending accompanied by text explaining what would've happened, some of them are funny. This game has lots of things to collect and numerous places to explore. Overall this game is an amazing experience the story is captivating and I don't want to spoil it here. I highly recommend this game you should pick it up and see everything for yourself.

By Mahmoud Ismael
A man was caught breaking into stores in the Atlanta area, at 1 a.m. Monday night, Christopher Zahyeer Atkins had been reading the Japanese manga comic Naruto when he was inspired to break into stores. Atkins stated that he was practicing his ninja skills by breaking into secured areas. Atkins then later confessed his plans after being caught at Target trying to break into the building. Atkins was charged with first-degree burglary after what he did.
When Atkins was asked why he did such things he said that he learned it from a Japanese comic that he was reading. He admitted to police that he broke into the store “because he was reading the book Naruto, Volume 5,” which was teaching him “how to be a ninja and how to enter secured areas.” He was caught after the alarm went off while he was trying to break in. Police said he didn’t take anything.

Halloween came a week early when Metallica brought their music to London’s 02 Arena last night. The first of two sold-out performances saw 22,000 rabid fans throw up the devil horns to songs with charming titles such as “Now That We're Dead”, “Sanitarium” and “Seek & Destroy.” Gigantic TV screens flash images of skulls and screaming prisoners trapped in padded cells, while gore obsessed guitarist Kirk Hammett wields axes with pictures of zombies and vampires emblazoned across them, making this performance quite the sight to be seen.
During each performance, singer James Hetfield takes the time to thank the fans for their support throughout the years. And the fans gladly respond with the massive amount of people who attended their performances. The large attendance for the performance did not go unnoticed. The performance done by Metallica broke the attendance record for the 02 Arena.
You’ll be able to catch Metallica on November 9th when they will be performing in San Francisco, California at the “Band Together Bay Area” fire relief benefit. Metallica, along with Dave Matthews and G-Easy and more, will be performing to support the victims from the fire.”The recent tragic events up in Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties have left us all saddened. We’re here to help as much as we can, and this concert on November 9 is one small way we can do that,” says Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. All proceeds and donations will go towards the fire victims.

The reason why I chose Ice Cube’s 1992 album “The Predator” is because, in my opinion this is Ice Cube’s best album and most fun to listen to. In this album, Cube talks about police brutality and the 1992 Rodney King L.A. riots, racism and his everyday life living in Compton California AKA “the hood”.
The intro to the album, “The First Day of School” is a skit of a police officer, or warden at a prison doing cavity checks. The overall skit being to show how the police treated African Americans, and it is also a joke.
The first song on the album is “When Will They Shoot?”, in the song Cube talks about the media, racism and where he is in his life and his career
The fifth song on the album is “Now I Gotta Wet ‘Cha”, (my favorite song on the album), Ice Cube basically talks about people in the hood and what he deals with. It also talks about his anger about the Rodney King trial.
The sixth song on the album is “The Predator”, Cube raps about the media, Johnny Carson, Billboard and the editor.
The seventh song is “It Was a Good Day”, in this song Ice Cube talks about what a perfect day in Compton would be, this is the most known song on the album.
After “It Was A Good Day” ends the song goes into the eighth track, “We Had To Tear This Mothafu**a Up”, this song is about the L.A. Rodney King riots, Ice Cube agrees with the riots and says he was in them himself.
Song twelve is “Gangstas Fairytale 2”, in this Cube tells a story from the hood, a life lesson of sorts.
The thirteenth song on the album is “Check Yo Self”, in this song Ice Cube talks about people in the hood again and women.
The sixteenth and final song is “Say Hi to the Bad Guy”, Ice Cube talks about police and how he’s a cop killer.
This album is a mix of stories, the L.A. riots, and basically what Ice Cube was doing in Compton California 1992. I give this album a high 8 out of 10. I suggest listening to this album.

Ninja Sex Party Reliving the 80s
“Under The Covers Volume 2” Album Review
By: Jason Adamoli
Recently, I have been listening to “under the covers volume 2” nonstop. Ninja sex party, along with TWRP (Tupperware remix party) have created a collection of covers, most of which I enjoy more than the original. As much as I wish I could review each song, I don’t have infinite space, so here’s a few notable songs.
The album starts off strong with their cover of “Africa” by Toto. Between Dannie’s voice, and everyone’s master of music, the song is a bit more pop than the original, and it’s a close tie between which is better.
This is followed by “More Than A Feeling”, originally by Boston, its once again more pop sounding than the original, but Dannie’s voice fits so well, and all the instrumentals are so well done that the song just makes me want to close my eyes and lose myself into the song.
The next notable song was “Pour Some Sugar On Me” originally by Def Leppard, the cover weaves the song masterfully into its new form. Now I don’t like the original, I never have. I don’t like the band Poison. However, I have listened to this song nonstop, its perhaps one of my favorite on this album.
Next notable song is “You Spin Me Right Round (like a record)” originally by Dead Alive, this song is wonderful in every way. Dannie’s voice makes the lyrics much clearer than the original, in effect, the song is much more catchy and memorable. The song is molded like clay into their own, if I heard this version before the others, I would be convinced it was the original.
The last, and perhaps most notable song, as it is a different genre entirely than the rest, is “Rocket Man” originally by Elton john. This song proves that these guys really can do any song. Unlike the others, is much softer, and has more meaning behind it. They pull it off beautifully. Its calmer, and has many different interpretations to the lyrics. The guys really can bring out the best in a song.
Overall, I love this album. After my first listen, I put it on my phone, and listened to it nonstop. Everyone did their part so well, I can’t help but feel nostalgic for a time when I wasn’t even alive. Overall, I would give this album an 8/10, I feel “limelight” could have been a bit better, and it is a cover album, so it’s going to be judged more harshly based on how good the original songs were as well. I would recommend this album to nearly anyone I know.

Its November you walk inside the store, hear christmas music and christmas trees but what about Thanksgiving? Christmas is many people's favorite Holiday. However; many are skipping out on Thanksgiving and heading straight to the winter wonderland.
I went around asking people how they feel about this and their responses were not positive. Emily Jaramillo said “ Everyone sleeps on Thanksgiving, people move to fast from Halloween to Christmas.” Another fellow AHA student Mateo Mccartney said “People want to have the Christmas feeling as fat as they can”. Manuel Heredia said “Halloween and Christmas are big holidays. I think it’s stupid skipping out Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is about being with family and enjoying time together. People think about thanksgiving as black friday rather than being with people we love”.
Christmas is great it feels like most are happy but skipping out on Thanksgiving sucks. Thanksgiving is a holiday to be thankful for many things we have in our lives. Hopefully many realize that Thanksgiving is just as important as Christmas because maybe in the near future, Thanksgiving may not be considered as a holiday but more as an ordinary feast.
Christmas Coming too Soon!
A test should not determine whether or not you should be put in ESL or an English class, when your first language is English.
The ESL program is a class that begins in Middle School and continues towards High School. It also helps the students who are learning English as their second language, which is false. Some students who are in this class speak Spanish as their second language. There is a test taken every January to determine whether or not students will be put in a regular English Class. This is unfair for the students who already speak English and continue to be in a ESL class. A test should not determine whether or not you should be put in ESL or an English class, when your first language is English.
I decided to interview one of the ESL teachers, Mrs. Gonzales. I first asked her, Do you believe the test taken every January helps the students? She responded “I think it gives them an idea of where they stand.”
I then asked her, do you believe some students should not be placed In ESL? Gonzales responded “Yes, it’s only a good program for students that are having difficulties with the English language.”
Personally some students should be taken out of the ESL program. I believe students should take a challenge to a regular English class. No test should determine a student's knowledge.
Fairness to the ESL Students

Recently, a group of people from the poplar website “4chan” have begun posting around signs that simply read “it’s okay to be white”. These signs were not just posted to protest many popular Australian politicians views, but also to prove a point about how the media would react. And they reacted accordingly.
Various news sources immediately jumped on this story, calling the signs “racist” and “white supremacist.” Some of these news sources include even well-known websites, such as “the new York times” and “the Huffington post.”
These people are opposing something they really shouldn’t be, I mean it is okay to be white, is it not? The original posters wanted to make a point about how people would react, and they made it.
Police have investigated some of these posts, but thus far haven’t found who posted them. More have appeared since the original in Australia, appearing in both American and British schools, as well as more Australian schools.
Some of the schools have denounced these signs, claiming they make the school “unsafe” or “exclude others”, and I think this pushes the point home even more about how the media reacts poorly to anything they don’t agree with.

The Finger Said What it Was Feeling
By Briana Aguilar
In late October Juli Briskman, a former member of the marketing team at Akima was riding her bike as the motorcade passed by, as Trump was on his way to the white house back from the golf course.
Briskman was then fired after the company found out. Not only did Briskman flip off the motorcade once, but twice.
A few days after this incident her company got back to her and in return fired her. Briskman was told she had violated the company's social media policy.
“My finger said what it was feeling,” Briskman said. “I’m angry and frustrated.”
After she had flipped off the motorcycle twice, it went viral, she told her employer.
Briskman said she had been working for this company for 6 months, before the incident. She was working in the marketing department.
She then stated "Health care doesn't pass, but you try to dismantle it from the inside," Briskman said. "Five-hundred people get shot in Las Vegas; you're doing nothing about it. You know, white supremacists have this big march and hurt a bunch of people down in Charlottesville and you call them good people."
Briskman continues to be jobless.

Warm Hot Chocolate For Winter
By Alicia Rodriguez
As winter approaches, the temperature drops and it is perfect for a cup of warm hot chocolate. Here is the recipe for my favorite simplistic drink:
Creamy Hot Chocolate
You will need
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups milk
2 cups (1 pint) Half & Half milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
Melt chocolate chips, stirring constantly, in saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar, water and salt. Increase heat to medium and whisk constantly until it gets hot enough. Remember to stir constantly. Add milk and half & half; cook until heated through. (Do not boil.) Add vanilla. Remove from heat; whisk until frothy. Pour into mugs. Serve with whipped cream (optional). And you are done!
Not only is this a very warming treat for a cold day. Medical studies on dark and hot chocolate have confirmed this. One states that hot chocolate actually increases the microcirculation in your skin, warming you. Another found that the myriad of chemical compounds contained in chocolate trigger the brain to release endorphins that induce a calm feeling.

On December 29 th Lil Wayne and Drake made a remix to Jay Z’s Song
“Family Feud” on his Album 4:44. The song “Family Feud” is on Lil Wayne’s new mixtape “Dedication 6” which is a mixtape where it sounds like Lil Wayne takes other people’s famous beats for example in the mixtape he also uses Kendrick
Lamar’s “DNA” instrumental and he even used 21 Savage’s “Bank Account” instrumental, so essentially he takes other rappers beats and makes it sound way better in my opinion. Me personally I’ve only listened to about 3 songs on the mixtape the 3 that I’ve named are the only 3 I have listened to and all of them are pretty good verses that Lil Wayne used. He really couldn’t make his own music anymore so it’s good that he is using other people’s instrumentals and making the song sound dope because at least Lil Wayne is letting all of his fans know that he
is still stay out in the music business instead of falling off the charts just because he’ getting older. It’s dope that he can still stay on the charts even though he is getting older and older in the business, and with all of the drama that he has been in within the past few years and he is still making good music even though it’s from using other famous rappers beats.
I can’t wait to see what he is going to be doing in the future and see what
kind of other verses and what other different types of beats he will use in the future because I’m sure Wayne could still make dope music if he put the same effort that he did with his Mixtape’s. It would be really cool and he just needs features especially Drake, because a lot of the time when Wayne makes a song featuring Drake it becomes a hit immediately (for example this song) was a hit on Wayne’s Mixtape within a few days of it being released so if Wayne keeps making
music like this and keeps his work going but in the song “Family Feud” drake takes a few shots at Birdman which is like Wayne’s manager and he still owns the record label that Wayne is signed to and Drake thinks that with how hard Wayne has been working within the past few years he should already own half of the label. There’s a lot of things that were said in Drake’s verse in “Family Feud” but I would rate this song a 9.5/10. It’s really good and I recommend everyone should check it out especially if you’re a Drake and Lil Wayne fan.
Family Feud
A chef is facing death threats and potential protests after gloating about “spiking” a vegan last Saturday.
The chef mentioned that she was angry at these vegans, as she had spent the time to make special vegan food, which they did not order. She posted "Spiked a vegan a few hours ago." To a closed Facebook group, and later said “Pious, judgmental vegan (who I spent all day cooking for) has gone to bed still believing she's a vegan.”
Afterwards, not only was her business in danger, but she felt her very life was in danger.
Angry vegans took the website by storm, commenting and ranting about the posts. Some even went so far as to hack the website and post offensive messages.
One wrote: "This lady should be charged with assault. We are vegan for a reason. To disregard our wishes and boast about contaminating our food is at least a sackable offence."
And another said Feeding a non-vegan meal to someone who has made the compassionate or potentially even medical choice not to eat animal products intentionally is disgraceful and then to brag about it on your Facebook page. I hope you are ashamed of yourself."
The chefs partner, annoyed and upset at the issue has claimed this has all been a misunderstanding.
He said: "Laura is absolutely mortified by the comments she made which were posted in the early hours of the morning after a very long shift and too much to drink.
"There is no question of her having 'spiked' anyone. We had a group of vegetarian and vegan customers who booked a table.
"Laura had spoken to them before they came in and had suggested some dishes they might like to try which they said they would be happy to order.
"But instead when they did come in they only ordered two dishes off the standard menu, a roasted cauliflower dish and a margherita pizza which obviously has buffalo mozzarella cheese.
"When one of the waitresses came into the kitchen she commented that she thought one of the vegans had been eating the pizza. The comment came from that.
