2018 Updates and Upgrades by Ryan Spector Volume 57 Issue 1 Mahwah High School September/October 2018 2018 Updates and Upgrades By Ryan Spector Mahwah High School un- derwent a multitude of changes that should be recognized by staff and students alike. The more noticeable updates are found in commonly inhabited spots around the school. The Senior Nook is now known as the “Senior Nest” as it has been deemed more appropriate for the Mahwah Thunderbirds. The lights in the auditorium have been upgraded so that it “looks less like a dungeon” and the school plans to supply the The- atre Department with a scrim curtain, a unique piece of stage equipment that appears opaque or transparent when exposed to light at different angles.

This research paper uses content analysis to analyse the subtext of Obama's campaign messages and virtual ethnography to analyse the way that information technology was used to further his campaign's goals. The findings suggest that while historic forces, such as economic turbulence and the unpopularity of outgoing President George W Bush, helped propel Obama to power, his campaign was nonetheless revolutionary.

  • John Mccain, War Hero, Senator, Presidential Contender, Dies at 81
    OBITUARIES John McCain, War Hero, Senator, Presidential Contender, Dies at 81 By Robert D. McFadden Aug. 25, 2018 John S. McCain, the proud naval aviator who climbed from depths of despair as a prisoner of war in Vietnam to pinnacles of power as a Republican congressman and senator from Arizona and a two-time contender for the presidency, died on Saturday at his home in Arizona. He was 81. According to a statement from his office, Mr. McCain died at 4:28 p.m. local time. He had suffered from a malignant brain tumor, called a glioblastoma, for which he had been treated periodically with radiation and chemotherapy since its discovery in 2017. Despite his grave condition, he soon made a dramatic appearance in the Senate to cast a thumbs-down vote against his party’s drive to repeal the Affordable Care Act. But while he was unable to be in the Senate for a vote on the Republican tax bill in December, his endorsement was crucial, though not decisive, in the Trump administration’s lone legislative triumph of the year. A son and grandson of four-star admirals who were his larger-than-life heroes, Mr. McCain carried his renowned name into battle and into political fights for more than a half-century. It was an odyssey driven by raw ambition, the conservative instincts of a shrewd military man, a rebelliousness evident since childhood and a temper that sometimes bordered on explosiveness. Mr. McCain, bottom right, in 1965 with his Navy squadron. While in the Navy, he was cocky and combative and resisted discipline.
