What is Avengers: Infinity War?

If you have that question, you have come to the right person. Faisal here, your numero uno specialist at everything superhero.

Anyway, to know what Avengers: Infinity War is, you need to know what the Marvel Cinematic Universe is. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to Wikipedia, is ‘an American media franchise and shared universe that is centered on a series of superhero , independently produced by and based on characters that appear in American comic books published by . The franchise has expanded to include comic books, short films, television series, and digital series.’

Anyway, Infinity War features many heroes. Over 20. And the villain, Thanos, is searching for the six Infinity Stones. The Big Purple raisin is pictured here to the left.

As stated by the Collector () in Guardians of the Galaxy, “Before creation ​ ​ itself, there were six singularities. Then the universe exploded into existence, and the remnants of these systems were forged into concentrated ingots... Infinity Stones." The six infinity stones are the Mind Stone, the Reality ​ ​ ​ Stone, the Time Stone, the Soul Stone, the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Space Stone, and the Power Stone. ​ ​

When collected and placed in an “Infinity Gauntlet” the wearer of the gauntlet has unimaginable amounts of power.

By Shradha K. Texting​ ​ ​ Do you text? I sure do! So do my . My parents say that ​ ​ texting can decrease the amount of time that you could be using to study. But, when you text, you’re communicating with your friends. Your friends can be in your class. Sometimes, I forget to write some homework assignments in my planner. (I get tempted to go to lunch!) Then, I text my friends saying that I need the homework page(s) for that subject. Most of the time, I bring ALL of my books home. On the days that we don’t have any homework, I still bring home all or most of my books. (Just to please my mom) :) All most all of the time, I text just for fun. This also improves my typing skills. We can also face-time. If you don’t know what face-time is, facetime is an app that people use to talk online,but you do on live . What app do you text on IF you do text? I text on Google Hangouts. Did you know that some apps don’t require you to have an email to text? I know, that’s pretty awesome. My friend (I’m not naming names!) does not have an email and she has asked her dad to install the mail app on her ipad. Also, texting can give you ideas for a book or article. With the book or article, you can start a neighborhood newspaper. This way, you can also earn money. Have you been noticing that I was only talking about the good things about texting? There are also MANY bad things about texting.

This is a picture of a texting chat.

There was a website (I will put it under the sources column.) that said that the maximum amount of time you should use on a device or screen, is 3 hours. I mean like, this is for your good. If you spend more than 3 hours, on a device or screen, you may get glasses. And if you are an athlete, you will HATE having glasses. If you have to run with GLASSES, your glasses will keep boinging around. Then, you will be very annoyed and will want to take your glasses off. If you take it off, you won’t be able to see and you can’t run. My mom JUST got contact lenses. Once, my mom was rubbing her eyes and one of her contact lenses almost fell out. Also, if you have contact lenses, you have to take them out of your eyes. And don’t get me wrong, my friends say that I’m tough, but taking out a piece of hydrogel is TOTALLY disgusting. My mom said that the contact lenses were like a super thin piece of plastic.

Rabbit and The Squirrel By Anoushka I. Once, there was a rabbit called Emma. Emma lived in a cozy burrow with her mother, father, ten brothers, and nine sisters. Her best friend was Lisa, a squirrel who lived in a log near Emma’s family’s burrow. They lived happily enough, but needed to save any food they could get their paws on. One chilly winter day, Lisa came over to Emma’s house to play in the snow. Emma was building a snow-bunny, and Lisa was building a snow-squirrel. After they had added everything possible to their snow-creatures, Emma had an idea. “Let’s get two carrots for them to chew on!” she said. “Don’t you think your parents will be mad if we take food out of the winter food supply?” asked Lisa curiously. Indeed, it was true that during the winter, creatures were very conservstive with their food supply, as nothing grew in the winter. Emma thought for a moment. Finally, she said, “Nah! It’s just two carrots. How could Mom and Dad possibly miss just 2 little carrots? Plus, if we don’t do it now, we may never get the chance to build a complete snow-creature!” Lisa hesitated. “I, I don’t know.” she said slowly. “Great! I’ll go get them.” cried Emma. And without another word, she dashed to the burrow and came back with two bright, orange, carrots. Suddenly, the creatures heard a low rumbling. “WHO TOOK TWO CARROTS FROM THE PANTRY?!” it cried. The friends exchanged dark looks as Emma’s father, Steve Jackson, marched furiously toward them. “Alright, which one of you two took those carrots?! Everyone knows that you MUST save any extra food for the winter for our very survival!” he bellowed. And his eyes fell on the pair of snow creatures behind

his daughter and his friend. “AHA! SO YOU DID TAKE IT!” he screamed at Emma. She thought fast. Anything to escape the worst punishment her father had to offer: No proper food for a week. Amanda, her older sister, had it once, and had to be fed by their mother the whole time, or she’d have surely perished.. “I-It wasn’t m-me.” she stammered. “L-Lisa thought i-it w-w-would be a-a g-good idea t-to give o-our snow- c-creatures, and b-before I could st-stop her, she h-had brought them h-here!” Steve turned furious eyes toward poor Lisa, who was looking half terrified and half shocked at the look Mr. Jackson was giving her, and shocked at how her best friend had treated her. “YOU WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED HERE AGAIN!” he screamed at the poor squirrel. “EMMA WILL STAY AWAY FROM YOU, SINCE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT SQUIRRELS CANNOT BE TRUSTED! THEY ARE SLY AND CRUEL, AND I WAS WRONG TO LET EMMA EVEN SEE YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!” Then, speaking more to himself than poor Lisa, he murmured “Yes, yes, we were utterly wrong just to have trusted those thieving creatures.” Suddenly, Emma, who was pining for her friendship with Lisa, said “No, Dad. It wasn’t Lisa who did it. I took the carrots, and I lied to you.” Steve looked like he was going to explode, then seemed to change his mind. “I am so disappointed in you, Emma. I trusted you. I believed in you. You lied to me and made me accuse an innocent creature of horrible things You needn’t have lied. I knew you had taken them, since Samantha saw you do it. She told me, and I thought it would be nice to let you keep the carrots as a treat.” he rumbled, in a voice that made Emma prefer the yelling. Then, in a more steady voice, “I am so sorry, Lisa. If you’ll excuse me, I need to speak to Stella.” He walked away, shaking his head. Emma smiled wryly at Lisa. “Sorry,” she said, expecting Lisa to hug her, as if to offer her support for the future. Instead, Lisa glared at her. “I hate you, Emma. I never want to speak to you again. I’m going to play with that new mouse from the north instead. SHE won’t lie about what I did to save her horrible self.” and she turned on her heel, and scampered away. “Wait!” cried Emma desperately. “H-he was going to use the No Food penalty on me! Wait! Please! I’m sorry! I told the truth in the end, didn’t I?” “Only so you could try to have me back as a friend!” cried Lisa, and turned back, never to be seen by Emma again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The moral of the story is that honesty is the best policy.

Entertainment by Hannah Huang ​ ​ ​ ​ When DisneyLand in Anaheim, CA opened, admission was $1, according to PBS. ​ ​ It's now at least $99. Imagine that! “Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first ​ of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, , opened on July ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 17, 1955. It is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt ​ Disney. It was originally the only attraction on the property; its official name was changed ​ to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s. Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s.” wrote en.wikipedia.org.

DisneyLand is far more superior than most children’s theme parks because of its theme, parades, and fireworks. First off, let’s talk about the theme. The theme is a very important part to almost everything from a story to a play to an amusement park. The theme is the center of most things. Think about it for a second. Isn’t it true that almost all amusement parks have a theme?

In this case, the theme of DisneyLand is obviously fairytale. It has princesses from the Disney stories, characters from Disney movies, and much more. When you go in, you can see Snow White’s castle, Minnie and Mickey Mouse, and/or princesses.

Next off, let’s talk about the parades. Parades are awesome almost anywhere, but Disney’s are the best! People in colorful costumes dance and twirl and cars heavily decorated slowly drive in. On top of those cars are Disney characters such as Minnie Mouse, the Disney princesses, or the mermaids. Trumpets are blown, music is played and at the end, confetti is thrown everywhere. In a normal parade, there isn’t that many characters and dancers that come out. The festivities aren’t that fun. It’s Disneyland after all!

Next time you’re thinking of going to an amusement park, pick Disneyland! I guarantee you, you’ll have a fun time.

The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon By: Eric L.

Just after the Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LII and Justin Timberlake delivered an unforgettable halftime show performance Sunday night, Jimmy Fallon went live form the Orpheum in Minneapolis for a special edition of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The hour-long show featured Jimmy Fallon with Fallon's bud Timberlake fresh off the Super Bowl field. Those who were at the Superbowl saw that Timberlake performed his Man of the Woods, “Supplies”, and “Say Something” (with his best friend ​ ​ Chris Stapleton) for the first time, also taking part in a “songversation” for another Jimmy Sketch -- all of which made for a fun way to wrap up what was another memorable Super Bowl night.

During a commercial break, Fallon was talking to the audience when he noticed a fan wearing a ”Fallon Timberlake” campaign shirt. He added with a laugh, that won’t ever happen. When a fan asked if another Camp Winnipesaukee sketch is in store with Timberlake, Fallon said, “He might be back,” sharing some kind words for his BFF. “Justin’s such a good guy, I can’t tell ya enough. He says ‘hi’ to everyone backstage… I like when good things happen to good people. https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/television/8098071/super-bowl-tonight-show-fallon-live-what-you-did nt-see-justin-timberlake

World of Dance: Season 1 & Winners ​ ​By Sana K. ​Caution: Don’t read if you are watching

World of Dance​ is an American ​reality competition​ series, hosted by ​Jenna Dewan Tatum​ and executive produced by ​​. The series features ​dance​ performers, including solo acts and larger groups, representing any ​style​ of dance, competing for a grand prize of $1 million.The contestants are scored by judges ​Jennifer Lopez​, ​Ne-Yo​, and Derek Hough. The first season of this show was very exciting, as many individuals showed us and the judges their amazing talents.

The first round of ​World of Dance​ is called the Qualifiers. It’s where each group or person does a 2 minute dance. Out of the total score of 100, dancers must have a score of 80 or higher to make it to the next round. Some groups got eliminated. Then, there’re Duels, where certain acts go against each other, and the act with the higher score moves on. Many were eliminated in this round, and the number of acts was cut in half. Then, ​in the Cut, the 15 remaining acts compete for two spots in each of their divisions. Then, there’s the divisional final. In the divisional Final, the 2 remaining acts in each division square off, with only one act going to the World Final to represent their division. Finally, there’s the World Final. This was where the final 3 acts faced off. Each round was very exciting, as many were wondering who would be eliminated.

World of Dance​ had a variety of styles of dance presented throughout the first season. But, despite these differences, all the dancers were amazing and most of the acts were scored very highly by the judges. Although hundreds entered, and only around 50 made the show, there were 3 winners. Swing Latino, a latin jazz group, got third place, as they had many stunts and beautifully technical dances. Second place went to a 14-year old girl, who was a contemporary dancer named Eva Igo, and she earned her spot because of her flexibility and amazing facial expressions. And drumroll please…………………….the winners of the whole TV show were Les Twins, a duo from the city of romance, , . They were 28, and danced in the style of hip-hop. Their spectacular moves earned them the top spot. Some other acts that came close to winning were Kinjaz, Keone and Mari Madrid, and Diana Pombo. The winners of World of Dance​ deserved their spots, as they worked very hard to earn their titles.

As you can see, ​World of Dance​ is an amazing show that I definitely recommend watching if you enjoy dance and reality TV shows.

Neela’s Attempt By: Anika M. A girl (whose speech was impaired) crept up to the window at precisely 12:03 A.M., and looked out the wood framed, glass window. Stunned to see a man scaling the sides of her neighbor’s house, she tiptoed downstairs, as quiet as a mouse. She grabbed her father’s mobile, which she had been strictly told not to touch, and ran her fingers along the smooth, glass screen. Oh, how she would love a phone of her own! Only her father had one, her mother or three brothers didn’t even have one. Enough of her daydreaming, she had a “mission” to complete. In the dark, she grasped the handle of the door tightly, and snapped her eyes shut. Unfortunately, her father was in the process of rebuilding the door, and the wooden plank he had laid on it fell on the ground when the girl opened it.

“Neela, Jaya, Alisha, Marth, Yug! Come here! I believe that a hyena has entered our home!” Father charged at the girl with a large wooden bat, as she shrunk to her knees, shivering with fear and pouring a stream of water out of her eyes. He pounded the girl with his fists, and smacked her with the bat at least fifty times. When he was done thrashing her, he stuffed her in a burlap bag and threw her out onto the doorstep. When the girl untied the bag and was able to move after all her bruises, it was about 2:00 A.M. She went inside to face her father, who couldn’t understand who left her in this state. He vowed to punish whoever had harmed his only daughter, but was baffled when he found out that it was the girl he had pounded, not the hyena!

“I’m so sorry, Neela,” he told Neela, “Please forgive me.” Over the next few days, the girl, Neela, healed. And as for the robber, he had gotten away with her neighbor’s goods, but was caught at the next site that he tried to rob.

The End

*THE GIRL IS NEELA IN CASE YOU COULDN’T FIGURE OUT.

​Entertainment (Drones) By Joleen

If you ask a sales lady, “ Where do you get drones?” They would most likely say, “ What type of drone?” How many type of drones are there? There are over 23 types! They merge from small drones to big drones, from “flying for fun” drones to military drones, from close range to far range. Most of them are just plain drones. Others have a camera attachment.

Drones are a great way to explore. Just fly your little kiddo to the Eiffel Tower and take a sneak peek. Some drones can also take a picture. How cool can that be? But, wait. Not all drones can fly from the USA to France. Only certain types of special drones can fly that far. Most drones can only fly a few miles. Others can fly from California all the way to Nevada.

Most drones are as big as your hand when you spread out your fingers. Another type of drone is four times as big as that. The third type can be four times smaller than the first type I mentioned. The fourth type is so big that it can seat four people. Did you realize that all the numbers are a four? Maybe that’s a lucky number for the drones! :)

The drone that can seat four people is most likely to be owned by the government or some really, really, really rich people. That drone can cost over millions of dollars. The standard drone type (used for purpose) costs from $250 to $300. The other standard type drone (used for fun) costs $20 to $50.

As you can see, drones are a very special type of machine. If you really want one, whoops, that’s none of my beeswax! So long everybody! Until the next article.

Les Grandes Grandes Vacances: An Underrated French TV Show

The Long, Long Holiday is a television series about children who are stuck in a small town in Normandy during World War II. At that time, Normandy was under occupation by the Nazis. That is what this show is about. Although you may think that this TV show is rated R, it is actually PG, (at least according to ). The show has a bit of cursing in the French version, but the English dub is mostly curse-less (unless you understand German). I say it is underrated because it is very nicely done and develops characters who have many sides, even though very few people have heard about it.

The is simply beautiful, making the entire movie seem slightly darker. The special effects do this as well. The only problem seems to be the English , because the voices seem robotic. The original French has beautiful , though. Watch it for yourself. You be the judge. There are five, 45 minute long episodes, if you want to check it out.

Stars Wars The Last Jedi: Did It Live Up To The Hype?* By Krish G.

th Since December of 2016, millions of people have been anticipating the 8 movie​ in the “Star ​ Wars” series. The whole year, people waited for the new movie, and the hype surrounding it was tremendous. Everyone wanted to watch it, and when the movie finally hit the theaters tens of thousands of people stood in lines at theaters to watch the new release. When it finally hit, many fans were disappointed. Some people say that it had “a poor plot, weak character development and a total lack of understanding of what made the previous films great.” Even though the budget for the movie was tremendous, most people think that it just did not live up to the hype. Another reason for the constant criticism is because of the sheer amount of movies in the series. Without counting te extra movies such as “Solo: A Story” and “Rogue One,” there have been eight movies in the series. To many people, it has gotten boring.

The Late, Late Show ​ ​ ​ By: Bijan

The Late, Late Show is currently one of the most entertaining shows currently on air, in this reporter's opinion. It is one of the best late show, shows and is deserving of its 91% like rating. Its current host James Corden is an extremely funny, well known man that has carried the show through good and bad times. The show has had 4 hosts in the past, Tom Snyder, Craig Kilborn, Craig Ferguson, before James Corden. The show first aired in January 1995 and has been running smoothly ever since. If you have never watched the show I suggest you do. It has many celebrities and well-known people on it. They play games and are interviewed by the host and everyone seems to have a good time. The show also does charity work and makes many peoples wishes come true. An example of this is its charity album in aid of St. Vincent de Paul. The charity raises money for S.V.P.'s donation center. They grant wishes and give money to the Make a Wish Foundation. They have people on the show who have always wanted to be on the show. So, with all this in mind, next time you are watching TV and looking for something good to watch, or are looking for a place to donate money, take my advice and think of the Late, Late show.
