(Above) Because of the widespread use of plastic, it is impossible to completely remove it from our diet, but it is possible to stop some of the consumption. Fruits and vegetables absorb plastics through roots which go into the plant. A study by Gea Oliveri Conti, PhD, found that apples and carrots have the highest concentration of plastics. Both are very healthy, but finding alternatives might stop more plastic consumption.

(Above) Florida is facing significant environmental challenges as new housing developments continue to expand. Mattamy Homes is building the population of the houses and areas continues to grow driven by factors like its warm climate and economic opportunities. This has led to a surge in demand for new homes. Unfortunately, this growth often comes at the expense of Florida’s ecosystems. The green that everyone knows Florida has is slowly disappearing under the sand and bricks of the homes with no social connection. The house market has exploded, and to be fair, it was in a reasonable way. The houses are selling higher than what they were originally listed at, but somewhere in the owner feels bad taking away everything that isn’t there.

Mr. McManus would share his journey with reporters, citizens, and schools. He mentioned to Mary Jane that all the class boys would frequently ask about the tortures. Mr. McManus was said to have been struggling to contain his laughter as the boys would try to come up with their methods to use against prisoners. Although McManus went through thick and thin, he still loved to share his experience.

So in the future, hopefully they will stick with it and love it as much as I do.” After talking to the athletes they started to follow his instructions after watching an example of what to copy. With more practice the athletes began to finally under- stand the importance of coordination whether it is playing together or just practicing by themselves.

Private islands have gotten more popular, and almost every company has its own island. Each private island offers different activities and excursions though, like now Carnival and Royal Caribbean have more of a fun island with slides, zip lines, and waterparks while cruise lines like MSC have more relaxing islands with tons of beaches and food areas. Before choosing which cruise to board, passengers should make it caters to their enjoyment.

Bandoni allegedly had lasting back issues, therefore, he enquired with the on-set trainer how much she weighed so that he could prepare for the scene. Lively also contributed to the main song of the movie. The song title was “My Tears Ricochet” by Taylor Swift.

(Above) At the Hacienda Alsacia Starbucks Coffee Farm, LHP students learned from a tour guide about the process of growing coffee plants. Students got to see demonstrative coffee plants while learning about the beans growing their “butterfly” leaves to capture sunlight, and then eventually shedding those for their primary and maturing leaves. It can take up to four years for a newly planted coffee bean to become fruitful and ripe for production. And when it comes to the coffee cherry itself, only 20% of it is actually used for consumption.

(Above) The inspiration that Star Wars took from Dune is so clear after watching the film. There is the first obvious parallel between the countless desert planets of the George Lucas films, most famously Anakin Skywalker’s home planet of Tatooine and Dune’s desert planet of Arrakis. Then there’s the advanced physical and psychological manipulation capabilities of the Bene Gesserit, a skill they call “the Voice" that mirrors the body and mind control called “the Force” that Jedis possess. Both have evil emperors ruling the galaxy, strong brother-sister ties at the center of their stories, and a powerful drug called “the spice” as a popular commodity. There are also tremendous differences. While Star Wars mainly focuses on smugglers and rebels, Dune is a story about feudal aristocracy. It dives into the complex questions of using religion as a tool for politics and the limits of human capability. Star Wars, on the other hand, can seem more like a fairy tale in comparison. It has a greater emphasis on spirituality, with Luke saving the galaxy by saving his father’s soul, and in this vein, it is fundamentally more optimistic.

(Above) Charlie De Sena (left) and Zeno Moore (right), both grade 10, are running through one of the drill techniques during practice. Being a wrestler is a lifestyle of dedication and commitment, and it doesn’t come easy. “Traveling, making weight, competing, doing homework at the airport during a delayed flight, getting back Monday morning at 1:00 A.M., and then showing up to school the same day. It’s a grind,” Omer Barak, grade 12 said. Yet, he loves the sport because of the, “Sacrifice it entails, and the dedication…and the hard work you put in shows. There’s no hiding.” This hard-won relationship of devotion is clearly echoed throughout the team. Yes, it’s hard, but that’s exactly what wrestlers love about it. In this spirit, it becomes more than just wrestling. It’s tackling and growing from valuable life lessons.

(Above) It is said that, while gold is valuable, jade is priceless. Jade bangles were popularized by Yang Guifei, a beloved concubine from the Tang Dynasty, who believed her jade bangles accentuated the graceful curves of her wrists. Some believe that wearing jade over an extended period of time helps promote blood circulation due to the gentle weight and swinging motion of the jewelry. While choosing which wrist to wear the jade bracelet is mostly up to preference, some would recommend the left wrist due to its proximity to the heart. Jade bangles, besides being naturally beautiful, are thought to have many emotional and spiritual benefits. The cool weight of it brings one’s mind to focus on the tranquility of the stone on the skin and creates a peaceful state of mind. It is also believed to attract good fortune to the wearer. Strenuous labor to craft this exquisite gem is part of a long and prized traditional culture. The gemstone’s symbolism of virtue, purity, and eternity is something that is cherished in Chinese tradition. As such, receiving jade as an engagement ring has been gaining more and more popularity.

(Above) So much of the modern world is visual. Poetry doesn’t have to come through just black and white letters on a page; it can dance in swirls and color too. Through this poetry collage, there can be seen contemperorary poets such as Ocean Vuong and Louise Glück. There are 19th and 20th century poets such as Maya Angelou and Emily Dickinson. And of course, there is the newest brand of one-line poetry popularized by Atticus, a pseudonym for a poet who remains anonymous. There is still a whole world of poets and poetry to explore beyond the frames of this one collective photograph. The following list of additional poets I would personally recommend is by no means comprehensive: K-Ming Chang, Ross Gay, Hanif Abdurraqib, Victoria Chang, Sonia Sanchez, Sylvia Plath, T.S. Eliot, Percy Shelley, and William Wordsworth.

Walking into Galactic G Skateshop on Orange Ave, a visitor can be met with an explosion of loud graphics, polished boards, and funky designs. Delaney Bolstein, grade 12, pauses to take a quick snapshot of the almost-ornamental display. Undeniably, there's a vibe to this small shop that can't be found in large commercial stores. It's the reachable feeling much like listening in on the two skaters behind the racks fussing over what color wheels would look most "ice" on their boards.

Cottageccore is an aesthetic that incorporates a romanticized version of rural life, although more recently with a Victorian twist. This is mainly due to the popularity of shows such as Bridgerton and adaptions of Jane Austen novels. The outfits have an element of a corset, puff sleeves, and floral prints. Think about taking a garden stroll while bread is baking in the oven. Shoes can be soft leather boots and short to the ankle. Wear a straw hat for the sun and adorn with delicate jewerly. Comfort and simplicity are prioritized, whether through soft cottons or handmade accessories. As long as everything is minimalistic and intentional, it is Cottagecore. Photo by Serena Young.
