Due to a constantly warming planet, towering waves of tsunamis could become more of a problem than ever before. According to scientist, one of largest tsunamis ever recorded hit Taan Fjord, Alaska in 2015. This specific tsunami
measured 193 meters, thats twice the size of Big Ben, spanning over a mile of land and was caused by melting glaciers. The Tyndall Glacier, which scientists claim to be the reason for the tsunami, is said to have released about 180 million tonnes (about 2,000 pounds) of rock into the ocean as result of the
debris coming loose from the melting ice. Researchers are blaming Global Warming for this natural disaster and say that it could be the start of a trend. In the journal, Nature, 32 experts on climate change and global warming are saying that if landslides on these glaciers are to be a recurring event, then
coastal cities could be in danger. Especially with sea levels growing gradually. It would only take about half a meter of sea level to rise for tsunamis to become something to worry about. This is predicted to happen by 2060, three feet by 2100. With mostly remote areas being affected now, polar regions with residents
have been touched by such disasters. In 2017 four people were killed in a tiny settlement by Nuugaatsiaq, Greensland due to a massive wave caused by another landslide. As of now all researchers can do is keep a close eye on such events to get a better understanding of how they work.

Tesla Bonds Are Falling Apart LUIS GUTIERREZ Reporter
luis.gutierrez0200@my.riohondo.edu
People on Wall Street are uncertain if the enormous company Tesla will be able to pay back the debt they owe. In 2025, 1.8 billion bonds are due and on Friday they hit a new low record trading for 84 cents on the dollar. Originally the dollar was 98 cents last year.
Experts are worried about Tesla. Not to mention that Elon Musk doing literally whatever he can to get the Model 3 out fast enough, to turn into profit in hopes to use that money to pay off that enormous debt. The reason why Tesla has acquired so much debt is because they put themselves in the forefront at such a rapid pace in the auto industry for electric cars. Even though

they may be one of the top companies, other big players such as Mercedes-Benz and Ford are gunning for them. Tesla’s debt may soon backfire and will look at $9 billion before 2025. Including a total of $2.7 billion this year and next year. So, it’s a bit alarming for them as of right now. It is unclear if Musk will turn a profit or not. Some say, pushing as hard as he
is right now will succeed a profit. While others are saying he’s is digging his own grave. Lately, his actions have not been helping his cause. People concern Musk. He is the face of his companies as he’s being called a pedophile and smoking a blunt on a podcast. Not to mention, he was claiming on twitter that he would go private selling shares at $420. Musk was placed in an investigation by
the SEC after he abandoned this maneuver. On the 1st of August, Musk said that they plan on paying off the debt instead of refinancing it. To clarify some rumors Musk announced that Tesla will raise money by selling some stocks. Experts are saying as of right now it’s going to be an uphill battle to raise money until the SEC investigation is over.

Ads May be Going to Space Next LUIS GUTIERREZ Reporter
luis.gutierrez0200@my.riohondo.edu
Ads are everywhere there is almost no way of escaping from them. You go on Instagram you see them, Youtube you see them, and even by walking outside. Well it seems to be that space the final frontier may very well have ads floating around soon. Back in August NASA a Jim Bridenstine had told his peers that he’d be forming a new committee to help them go more commercial. The head of this new committee will be Maxar Technologies, they’ll be in charge of making sure NASA can brand it’s spacecrafts. As well as letting astronauts have more endorsements, just like professional athletes. The main reason for this whole idea is to of course save money. They want to offset the cost of certain missions that NASA does. Bridenstine believes that letting astronauts have endorsements will make space travel more popular so it can get more funding. This idea goes against some of the oldest ways of NASA. They’ve been restricted from promoting themselves in commercial products or services. One fear is that this might change the way they talk to the press and others. Losing some professional ability. Not to mention that the ad money they get might not be enough to offset. NASA has a limited budget with some missions costing hundreds of millions
to even billions of dollars! After all NASA is a government agency. And government employees are not supposed to have any endorsements of any kind. They’ve gone the extra mile too to cover up any brand names, for instance they send M&Ms up to space for the astronauts to eat. But NASA calls them “candy-coated chocolates”. In some videos of astronauts in space you may be able to see some named products but NASA never acknowledge them at all. Although NASA can not accept endorsements, there partners can. For instance a Canadian astronaut sang David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” in space and sold it once he landed in earth. And Russia space agencies have even filmed commercials up there. But NASA has found some loopholes in the system and has managed to sell some products. Like you’ll see a hot wheel toy with NASA spacecraft. You may of even seen some NASA shirts and clothes too. Bridenstine has said too with these ads they would be able to return to the moon. They’re working with other companies too such as Space X and Boeing. But they can only spend as much money as congress approves. Another big fear is that tax payers who help fund NASA may not be on board with this. Some private companies don’t want them to go public at all. But everything is still in talks. And the New committee will decide what they will do with NASA. But as of right now it looks like they might lean that way.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY RAMON ALVARADO With waste flowing throughought our oceans, The Ocean Clean Up has decided to turn to something you may find floating in a pool to fix the issue.
Have you ever considered, as an individual, your role in the destruction of our precious planet? On Sept. 8th, The Ocean Clean Up, a foundation dedicated to developing technologies for cleaning up for us, deployed a giant pool noodle that it will passively collect plastic from a floating island of waste the size of Texas called the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” Earth Day Network has created a fact sheet on plastics in the ocean;those facts are as follows: »» About 8 million metric tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean annually. 236,000 tons are micro-plastics, tiny pieces of broken-down plastic smaller than your little fingernail. »»
There are five massive patches of plastic in the oceans globally.
»» Every minute, one garbage truck of plastic is dumped into our oceans. »» The amount of plastic in the ocean is set to increase tenfold by 2020. »» By 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than there are fish (by weight). »» Plastic is found in the ocean as far as 11km deep, meaning synthetic fibers have contaminated most remote places on earth. »» Many marine organisms cannot distinguish plastics from food and eat it. The plastic fills their stomachs up preventing them from eating real food, causing starvation. »» The likelihood of coral, that is home to more than 25% of marine life, becoming diseased increases from 4% to 89% after coming in contact with marine plastic damaging the skin of coral, allowing infection to set in. »» There is more plastic than natural prey at the sea surface of the Great Pacific Garbage »» Patch, which means that organisms feeding in this area are likely to have plastic as a major component of their diets. Sea turtles bycaught in fisheries operating within and around the patch can have up to 74% (by dry weight) of their diets composed of ocean plastics. »» Many fish humans consume, including brown trout, cisco, and perch, have at one time or another, ingested plastic micro California is attempting to mitigate the growing plastic waste problem by implementing a statewide single-use carryout bag ban, SB-270, in 2016. In addition, CA has recently passed a new measure on single-use straws, AB-1884. Plastic bags and straws are among the top 8 items most commonly found floating in the ocean. The Ocean Cleanup was founded in 2013 by Boyan Slat, who also serves as CEO. Slat first proposed the project at a Ted-Talk in 2012. Slat later revised his original design; this revision won design of the year at the London Design Museum. More drastic revisions were made in 2017, the dimensions were reduced, and replaced with a fleet of smaller barriers; a passive collection system replaced automatic collection, and in 2018, sea anchors were replaced with a deep screen that creates drag needed to keep pace with floating debris.

All Nippon Airlines (ANA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) are partnering for a project on a human controlled avatar that can navigate through space. The Avatar will be used as a VR (Virtual Reality) where astronauts can operate the Avatar on Earth in real time. It will be capable of building camps on the Moon, supporting long-term space missions and further exploration in space. According to JAXA’s website, Avatar X will have 4 phases until it makes a successful launch to space. Phase one includes the project at work for this year where the team will construct a roadmap for the avatar’s travel. For the second phase, an Avatar space test field called “AVATAR X Lab@OITA” will be built in Japan’s southern prefecture of Oita. The third phase of Avatar X includes technologies made
at AVATAR X Lab@OITA in the early 2020’s. Transported to Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) for testing in space. Inevitably, Phase four involves Avatar X deploying and exploration in space where sufficient information is to be gathered. In a press release, the project will include a spacebased entertainment and travel for the general public, remote construction in space, and remote operation and maintenance of space stations. “ANA is driven by a bold and inspiring vision of the future of flight and this boldness doesn’t stop on our planet,” said Shinya Katanozaka, President and CEO of ANA HD. “Through innovative partnerships, like AVATAR X, we are excited about the possibilities of what we can accomplish and where we can go when the private and public sectors join forces.” VR in space sounds quite amazing and decreasing safety risks for astronauts doesn’t seem like a bad idea. It could further our knowledge of space that is still unknown to us.
Ocean Becomes Too Salty Due to the Need for Clean Water ANAMARIA APARICIO Reporter
anamaria.aparicio8532@my.riohondo.edu
Water is one of the many necessities needed to live a healthy life. Unfortunately, for many regions around the world, they don’t have the privilege to have access to water when they desire. For many, like Cape Town in South Africa, that access to water is limited to a certain amount. According to New Scientist, “City residents are still limited to using 50 litres of water a day, scarcely enough to half-fill a bath.” Regions resolution to solve this issue is to turn to desalination. This is the process of removing salt from seawater in order to make it drinkable. This however, can be a problem with the ocean. When the salt is removed from the oceans salt water, it is then thrown back into the ocean. This then becomes an important environmental problem because the salinity in the ocean increases. A technique that is used
for desalination is reverse osmosis. Futurism describes it as,“ On one side of the membrane, you get drinkable water; on the other, you get concentrated brine that’s about twice as salty as regular ocean water.” Most of the time the leftover salty water is then thrown back into the ocean. This is when it becomes a environmental issue. Salinity-sensitive organism can be in great danger, especially because the leftover water is twice as salty that regular ocean water. Futurism proposed that a way to help avoid consequences is that,“ desalination plants could dilute their leftover water with freshwater that’s clean enough to dump back into the ocean, but not fit to drink.” Although this is an extra step for companies creating a system that will help regions with severe water drought, it can also help the organisms from the dangers of high salinity seawater. Many of which provide homes for a diverse range of marine species.

Jordan in the role down the road.” Michael B Jordan would be moving from acting in movies like “Fantastic Four” and “Black Panther “in the Marvel world to DC Comics if this statement is true. Nonetheless, these are just reports and there have been no official statements by Warner Bros or Michael B. Jordan about who will play the next Superman.

Men’s Water Polo Go Through Tough Time LAFC, Revs Tie At Mt. San Antonio College Tournament JACOBO GARRIDO Reporter
jacobo.garrido9991@my.riohondo.edu
Although the Rio Hondo men’s Water Polo team ended the weekend with a zero and four record at the Mt. San Antonio College Water Polo tournament this past September 14-15, the final scores don’t tell the full story. There were many glimpses of individual success throughout the weekend. Mathew Alvarez, no.17, registered a team high 11 goals throughout the tournament, looking to be one of the more promising prospects for this young team. Starting off the weekend Friday with a hard fought game against the Orange Coast College Pirates, who were one of the topped ranked teams
in the state last year, the Roadrunners came out strong scoring the first goal of the game by no. 19 Travis Wear. The Pirates would then go on a 3 goal run ending the first quarter with a 4-1 lead over the Roadrunners. Within the first 4 minutes of the second quarter Rio would respond with 3 unanswered goals tying the game at 4-4. Orange Coast would go on to score 4 counter-attack goals before the half. Ultimately finishing the first half with a score of 8-4 to OCC. Rio Hondo would later bring the game within 2 but that was be as close as they got as they went on to lose the game 19 to 7. The second game was another taxing loss as the Roadrunners came within one goal, but could not hold off Santa Monica
falling 11-10 in the final match of the day. The Roadrunners took control of the game early with back-to-back goals from Alvarez as well as a goal from no. 8 Daniel Lozano. As the second quarter began, the momentum begin to shift allowing SMC to tie the game back at 5. With countless turnovers and unsuccessful shot attempts the Roadrunners could not find an equalizer in the fourth quarter. Saturday saw the Roadrunners do much of the same as turnovers proved costly again. The El Camino College Warriors were first up to face Rio and, despite losing to the Roadrunners by one goal in the season opener, the Warriors proved too much for Rio this time. After one quarter, the Roadrunners had a one-
goal lead. By the end of the seocond quarter, the Warriors had taken the lead and did not give it away for the rest of the match. The final score was 6-15 as Rio could only score once in the second half. In the second game, the Palomar College Comets added to the disappointing weekend for the men in the pool. It was a close back and forth match as the Roadrunners were down 8-9 going into the fourth quarter. Inability to keep the Comets from scoring did not help Rio as a 3-5 score in the final quarter meant the Roadrunners would lose 11-14. As for conference play, Rio Hondo hopes to stay undefeated as they will be travelling to Chaffey College Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 4:30 p.m.
Men’s Soccer Stay Undefeated, Beat SBCC IGNACIO CERVANTES Sports Editor

Tuesday, Sept. 11, the Rio Hondo men’s soccer squad continued its undefeated start to 2018 by defeating the San Bernardino Valley College Wolverines 2-1 at Rio Hondo’s soccer field. A late goal by Freshman forward Phuc Nguyen put the Roadrunners in front with just nine minutes remaining. Following Nguyen’s goal, closing out the game did not come easy as the Wolverine attack included three clear chances on goal. Goalkeeper for the home side Sophomore Jesus Rendon, who had not played a match since the season opener, stood tall mostly when San Bernardino forward Ramon Nuñez was slipped in for a break away in stoppage time. Nuñez’s attempted chip looked to be above and beyond Rendon, but the Sophomore’s extended arm managed to get enough of a finger tip on the ball to deflect it out of bounds. The game-winning save earned the Roadrunners a satisfying victory and its goalkeeper player of the game honors. “These past few games since I haven’t been playing, it’s been building fire inside of me.” Rendon said postmatch while reflecting on the day before when head coach Orlando Brenes told him he would be the start against the Wolverines. “I had to mentally prepare myself. It’s my time. I have to play a great game. That was going through my head. I just took advantage

of my time and this is what I can do.” Rendon finished. The scoring for Rio began when substitute Sophomore midfielder Ricky Sotelo pounced on a loose ball inside the box and slammed the shot past Wolverines netminder Luis Enriquez. After halftime, San Bernardino would equalize through a Gabriel Sosa goal
that came against the run of play. Following Sosa’s goal, the Roadrunners would put its best foot forward as possession began to lean their way. It took a hanging cross into the box from freshman defender Alfredo Gutierrez to create enough chaos in the box for Nguyen to prevail with a header into
the goal. “I heard the keeper coming out but I felt he wasn’t going to be able to reach it, so I jumped up and hit the ball.” Nguyen said, “[Scoring] it feels great.” Next for the Roadrunners is its first road game. A trip to Santa Monica College today, Sept. 18 kicks off at 3 p.m.

Brandon Bye scored with eight minutes left at Banc of California Stadium to earn the New England Revolution a 1-1 tie on the road against Los Angeles Football Club Saturday, Sept. 15. Costa Rican center forward Marco Urena put LAFC in front 52 minutes in. Urena’s goal was his first of the year ending seven months of scoreless play from the Costa Rican since joining LAFC this season. LAFC goalkeeper Tyler Miller played a key role in the draw as his seven saves kept the home side in the game throughout. Head coach Bob Bradley was unimpressed with his team and acknowledged his netminder for basically earning his team the tie. “I didn’t like the way we managed the game,” Bradley said post-game. “Tyler kept us in it for a while. But we paid the price.” The match was the veteran manager’s 300th game as a Major League Soccer coach and it seemed to be going well for his side. But following Urena’s go-ahead, LAFC welcomed pressure and forced Miller into making three key saves in ten minutes. Unable to resist though, LAFC would relinquish its lead as Bye’s strong header from a Teal Bunbury cross made it past the keeper. “In the first half we got our chances when we played in behind.” Urena said, “After the goal, we should’ve pressed more with more confidence.” With six matches left in the regular season, positioning in the regular season table becomes important for homefield advantage and strength of schedule through playoffs. Captain Carlos Vela mentioned post game the importance of finding ways to win these types of games despite the play on the pitch. “Now, every team needs points. Every team wants to fight like it’s the last game of the season,” Vela said, “Because every team wants to be in the playoffs.” LAFC sit third on the table with 47 points, two in front of Real Salt Lake and four behind Western Conference toppers Sporting Kansas City. Up next for LAFC is a visit from the San Jose Earthquakes Saturday, Sept. 22.
