Three Hoax es A ll W ere Just Jokes By Hen r y Leist er People sometimes put false information on to the web, and before you know it, NASA is answering calls about an asteroid hurtling directly toward Earth. Hoaxes can spread on the internet like wildfire, and the increasing amount of fake news makes it even harder to tell a hoax from a truth. Here are some of the biggest hoaxes in history.
1. The UFO?s hav e lan ded In the late 1970?s, strange crop circles began appearing all over the English countryside. UFO enthusiasts believe it was the aliens that were coming down to Earth and trying to communicate with us. As it turned out, it was not the aliens at all. In 1991 a couple of jokesters admitted to the series of prank
2. Spaghet t i Tree We all love April fools, except we are the victim of a prank. On April Fools Day in 1957, BBC televised a commercial promoting Swedish spaghetti trees. It showed the harvesting of a spaghetti tree and gave advice for growing them. Approximately 8 million people saw this, and many decided to attempt growing their own. At that time, many people were unaware of the process of spaghetti making, and this seemed plausible.
3. Half Human , Half A pe Charles Darwin?s theory of evolution has not been widely accepted and is commonly taught. One person claimed they had found the missing link between man and ape. Scientists thought it was real until the ran it through tests. They found it was only about 50,000 years old.

Book & M u sic Re v ie w s
The book "Red Rising", written by Pierce Brown, is an exciting dystopian novel set in a future where people are split into color groups based on their knowledge. The main character, Darrow, is a Red living on Mars. Reds, the lowest caste, are miners, living their entire lives underground because of a lie. Darrow thinks that he and all fellow Reds are pioneers, preparing Mars for future settlement. Darrow's wife, Eo, is a revolutionary. She knows that the reds are destined to be nothing more than slaves until there is an uprising. Her ideas are discovered and she sentenced to death, leaving Darrow shocked and quickly becoming a revolutionary himself. He escapes with the help of the Sons of Ares, a rebel group, and sees the extent of the lies the highCastes - Golds, Silvers, and Bronze - have told them. Society above ground is prospering, built on the sweat of Reds below the ground. Upset and furious, Darrow tries to bring on the downfall of the highCastes. I'd definitely recommend this book - it's a great read .

Alice In Ch ain s Live At Alt r ia Th eat er On September 19, 2016, I went to see Alice In Chains. The concert was held at Altria Theater. Despite their signer dying in 2002, the band still continues to tour. The most recent tour featured multiple songs from all their albums-old and new. New work combined with fan favorites made for a superior set-list. The concert had outstanding lighting and effects combined with the enthralling showmanship of the band. Here are some songs that headlined in the concert:
Ch eck M y Br ain ?Ch eck M y Br ain? is a very energetic and fasted pace song. The song features a catchy chorus and a recognizable riff. It is also part of their newer album, Black Gives Way To Blue, Featuring the band's new vocalist and rhythm guitarist John Duvall. ?M an In Th e Box? is a fierce and heavy song. Being the most popular song of AIC, it is very good. This was probably my favorite song that was performed, as it had the most energy. Also the guitar solo is possibly the best one out of all of their songs. ?St on e? is one of Alice in Chains's newer songs. This song features a very strong and heavy bass line, as well as haunting vocals. Stone also includes a solid guitar solo that fits in will with its haunting mood. ?Roost er ?- This song is one of the best songs there is. Its slow start leads to a dramatic, distorted, heavy verse.
Overall, I think this song was one of the show?s major highlights. by
Geor ge Th om pson
Overall the concert was a really fun event. It was a great opportunity to see my favorite band perform live.

By Dr ew Br ow n an d Evan Car pen t er Paladins is a competitive online first person shooter by Hi-Rez Studios. The game contains different playable characters with specific kits to play a certain role in a team of five, similar to Overwatch or Team Fortress 2. Paladins was released to open beta on September 2016. Many people describe this game as ?Poor Man?s Overwatch? considering that Paladins is free to play. The game does feature in game transactions, but they are not required to have fun and be able to play well. A great feature about Paladins is the fact that it is playable on Windows and Mac, unlike Overwatch which is not supported on Mac. Paladins does not have the best graphics which makes the game easier to run on Macs, which makes it a very accessible game to everyone. Many people have described Paladins as a copy of Overwatch. There are several characters between the two games are very similar. Overwatch has already been released while Paladins is still in beta. The closed beta for Overwatch began in October 2015, while Paladins?began in November 2015. The reveal trailer for Overwatch released in November 2014 and the reveal trailer for Paladins was released in September 2015. The closed beta, release trailer, and release of Overwatch all happened before Paladins. Overall, Paladins is a great free to play and accessible game.
