The World Cup is Here!

By Mark Burton

The World Cup is finally here! Alas, so am I to tell you about the crazy first game we witnessed and the brilliant opening ceremony!

We’ll start there, where we saw a brilliant flag ceremony that introduced the countries competing. Then, we saw two world renowned singers---Shakira and Burna Boy---perform the 2026 World Cup official song “Dai Dai”. Later on, Fifa President Gianni Infantio lifted the World Cup trophy to mark the beginning of the world cup. World Cup Opening Ceremony

After that, the game started. It was hosted at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The opponents facing each other were Mexico and South Africa. It finished in a 2-0 win to Mexico. In the eleventh minute, South Africa goalkeeper Robyn Williams made a mistake, gifting feisty Mexico winger Quinones the ball, who easily slipped it home.

Early in the second half, Mexico player Gutierrez got slipped through on goal, only to be fouled by experienced South African midfielder, Sithole, who was given a straight red card. In the 67th minute (Ha Ha), clinical striker Raul Jimenez put Mexico 2-0 up off a header. It was his first ever World Cup goal.

In the 84th minute, the referee was sent to the sidelines to see an incident that had just occurred a few minutes earlier. After he departed the monitor, he gave South Africa playmaker Zwane a straight red card for violent conduct. Mexico were sent down to nine players. In the 92nd minute the referee gave out the third red card of the match, making it the first time that has happened since 2006. It was a controversial red card given to Mexico defender Montes.

Final score: Mexico 2 South Africa 0. Mexico vs South Africa highlights

All About Sharks

By Fia Sghari

Now that we're entering the summer months, did you know...?

Sharks have been on earth for 400 million years. They predate even dinosaurs, trees and Saturn's rings.
Sharks survived four of the “big five” mass extinctions.
Shark livers are HUGE and can make up to 30% of their total body weight.
Sharks do not have vocal chords.
Thresher sharks use their really long, whip-like tails to stun and whip their siblings.
Tiger sharks in the womb are known to eat their siblings.
Some items found in sharks' stomachs include full suits of armor, licence plates, and drums.
Sharks have an inner ear that can detect low-frequency vibrations of struggling prey from miles away.
Sharks posses a sixth sense: Electroreception.
There are over 500 species of sharks alive today.
Sharks live in every single ocean in the world.
The Great White shark is the only surviving species of the genus “Carcharodon."
Commercial fishing kills up to 100 million sharks every year.
You are more likely to get struck by lightning than to get attacked by a shark.
Some deep-sea sharks possess bioluminescence, meaning that they can glow in the dark.

This June, we say goodbye to our seniors: the class of 2026. We wish you a prosperous future.

Hope you don't drown ~under the sea~ of ever-expanding responsibilities!

Introducing: Artemis

By Auggie Miller

Hi Guys! Welcome to the last publishing of the year! We have had a lot of fun for the past year (Erm actually it has been 11 months).

For this last article, yours truly will be doing a piece on a book that very few people have read in this school. The book is by Andy Weir, creator of The Martian and Project Hail Mary, and it's called Artemis. The book is soon going to be a movie, set to release sometime during 2028-2029. To give you a preview, this article will be about Artemis’s background, its characters, and what the movie is going to be like.

Artemis’ background contains many sci-fi ideas that will likely be possible and achieved in the next 50 years or so. One of these sci-fi ideas is that we colonize the moon, and we live in tiny bubbles in order to survive. In the book, these bubbles are named after some famous astronauts such as Conrad, Aldrin, Shepard, Bean, and Armstrong. These make up the city: Artemis. In the lunar colonies, they do not have a lot of strict rules that are enforced by punching, such as the drinking age in Artemis. These elements have inspired a lot of good and bad things in the book, showing the harsh reality of the moon and the life of a low-wage human who is barely making a living off the economy.

Artemis has many characters that are key to the plot of the story. I don’t want to spoil the entire thing for you, so I will just list a few characters that you immediately meet. One of these characters is the protagonist, Jasmine Bashara (Or, Jazz for short). Jazz has committed many crimes, possibly leading to her being banished from Artemis. Jazz is also not the wealthiest person, since they are barely living off enough money to survive in this rough colony and have been betrayed many times. Another character you meet is named Bob. Bob is one of the many EVA masters on the moon. EVA masters make a lot of money and lead the tours for the tourists. Bob is also the law enforcer who runs a very tight ship, and Jazz has pushed many boundaries set by Bob himself.

The movie has a lot in store for us for when it comes out. We don’t have the most amount of knowledge on it since the studio creating the movie has labeled it under “Side Project” in a filing cabinet and has worked on Project Hail Mary and other stuff instead. What I do know is that they are going to put the movie in ⅙ gravity to simulate the book as best as possible in real life. I assume they are going to dial it down on the more adult content to make the movie PG-13 so almost everyone can enjoy it. There is no estimated due date for the movie but it might come out sometime from 2029-2031.

Till then, read the book Artemis and see what you think about it. If you have already read the book, read The Martian and Project Hail Mary. Lastly, watch the movies for each one of them. This AD signing off for the end of the school year. I hope you enjoy your summer break!
