Thanks Mrs.Moore for letting me interviewed you!!!!

By Mara Mihailoff I don’t know why but eyes and brains are in-teresting to me, some people think they’re gross. Well the truth is they are, but they are also weird and cool. Eyes are a very im-portant part of humans, and they have lots of fun facts. Your eyes stay the same size forever. Also did you know that 80% of our memories are determined through what we see. Eyes are the second most complex organ other than our brain. Aw poor Goldfish they don’t have eyelids therefore they can’t blink. Wow, did you know that an ostrich’s eye is big-ger than its brain. Isabelle Witsken loves ostriches she is their Number 1 fan? Ew, Albert Einstein’s eyes are kept in a box in New York City. Well, this is weird, bees have five eyes. Blue eyes tend to be more sensi-tive to light. Also a Giant Squid’s eye can be bigger than a Volleyball. Hey, my friend Keira Parrish joined a Volleyball team. Anyway, did you know dolphins sleep with one eye open. Also some cats have three eyelids. Eyes can get sunburned, ouch. Ommatophobia is the fear of eyes. Have you ever wondered how your eyes

work? I have and this is the answer “The lens focuses light through the vitre-ous humor, a clear gel-like substance that fills the back of the eye and supports the retina. The retina receives the image that the cornea focuses through the eye’s internal lens and transforms this image into electrical impulses that are carried by the optic nerve to the brain.” Also the definition “each of a pair of globular organs in the head through which people and vertebrate animals see, the visible part typically appearing almond-shaped in animals with eyelids.” Now moving on we can talk about brains. Did you know that your brain stops developing at around the age 40. We only use 10% of our brains. Also your brain takes up 20% of our body’s blood and oxygen. When awake, our brain has enough electricity to power a small light bulb. The pathologist who made Einstein body’s autopsy stole his brain, he kept it in a jar for 20 years. Yuck, the human brain has almost the exact consistency of tofu. When you smell chocolate it increases the brain waves which triggers relaxation. “Sphenopalatine

ganglioneuralgia” is the sci-entific term for brain freeze. The brain treats rejection like physical pain, according to scientists. Wow, you have about 70,000 thoughts each day. Half of our brain can be removed by surgery, you would think you would get brain damage or worse but actually there is no effect on memory or personality. Hu-man brains are 10% smaller than they were years ago. Stunning, the human brain has enough memory storage to hold three million hours of television. People plotting revenge experience higher activity in the brain’s reward center, according to a 2004 study in the journal Science. Your brain is about 73% of water, even 2% of dehydration can affect your memory and other skills that deal with the brain. OK, so here’s a random question, what is a brain. Here is the definition “An organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity.” OK, now that you’re a brain and eye expert go show everyone how smart you are! I hoep you learned something new about them!

Mysteries of the Eyes and Brain Explained

What Is Life?By Mara Mihailoff

I have picked multiple people to ask a hard question, What is life? Before we see school student’s answers lets hear Google’s answer. What is life Google “The condition that distin-

guishes animals and plants from inor-ganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change pre-

ceding death. ”

Matt O’Donnell’s answer: “Life is a continuous cycle of plants, animals and humans, life also comes with a

lot of activity.”Maya McDonald’s answer: “Life is a place of happiness because as you get

older you learn from mistakes”Landon Wisbey’s answer: ¨Life is a series of events that people experi-

ence.”

Catching Up with Ms. MyersBy Mya Curran Everyone is getting excited be-cause Easter is right around the corner! In my household we hang up decorations for Easter but this year we have been struggling to find decorations. All of the decor we have bought hasn’t made us feel completely in Easter mode which made us think about all of the other fun Easter decorations. We decided to draw our own Easter eggs and Easter baskets, which gave us the idea to hang them up! Ever since then our house has been full of Easter vibes

Fun Easter Arts and CraftsBy Haylie Ernst

Here is a fun arts and crafts to do during Easter time! I hope you have fun!

Just Dying Eggs!This is just dying eggs. If you don’t

know how to do this, just take egg dye (normally found at grocery stores during Easter time) and follow the directions on

the box.

By Sydney Parr Gilmore Girls was and is the best show I have ever seen. No matter how old you are you can relate to some of their problems. And even though some of the Gilmore Girls story is sad, it is great and has changed my life for the better. And no matter, what if you’re a daughter or a mother you will wish that you had the type of relationship that Lorelei and Rory have. Gilmore Girls is a show that takes place in Stars Hollow and Hartford, Con-necticut. The main characters are Rory and Lorelei Gilmore. Lorelei had Rory when she was 17 and moved away from her par-ents so that Rory didn't have to grow up the way that she had which was high society events and gowns all things that Lorelei hated but Emily her mother loved. The whole show started when Rory applied for Chilton which is a private very expensive school. Lorelei didn't have enough money to pay for it, so she went to her mother that she had only talked to on Easter and Christmas for the past 16 years. When she goes to her mother for the money her mother says yes, but on one condition: she and Rory must come over every Friday at 6:30 for dinner. Soon after this Rory starts her first day at Chilton leaving Stars Hollow High and her best friend Lane. When Rory is cleaning out her looker she runs into her soon to be first boyfriend Dean. They started talking very awkwardly then Rory ran off to go to her house. Later that day Lorelei got home from working at the Independence Inn and they went out to Luke's for dinner (they eat at Luke's almost everyday at least once). On Rory’s first day at Chilton she makes soon enemies with Paris Geller. Par-is Geller was one no is the most challenging person that Rory had ever meet. She also meet Tristen who grew madly in love with her put was always a jerk and eventually got expelled. Two years later… Rory and Paris are friends and are student body president and vice president. Lorelei is engaged but does not get married to Max who is also

Rory’s teacher at Chilton. When Lorelei breaks it off with Max she takes Rory on a road trip to Harvard Rory’s dream col-lege. Many months later, Rory is off at Yale University the college that she chose over Harvard. Rory breaks up with Dean and starts dating Jess. Paris Geller joins her at Yale because she did not get into Harvard and, well, that is that only reason. Luke, the owner of the dinner, is married accidentally to Nicole even though he is in love with Lorelei. Jess moves away to live with his dad in California and didn't tell Rory. Yale is going good Rory and Paris are in the Yale daily news club hard at work. Lorelei and Sookie her best friend and business partner are opening up their own inn. Rory starts dating Logan her col-lege boyfriend who is in the life in death brigade. She met him while doing a piece on the life and death brigade for the Yale daily news. Lorelei starts dating Luke after he divorced Nicole. Lane, Rory’s best friend, is in a band and moved away from home which is very hard to do with her strict loving mother. With Rory’s last days at Yale ap-proaching and Lane's wedding over, she is feeling a little sad but yet happy. At her graduation, Logan proposes to her and she says...NO. Lorelei still dating Luke and still working at the inn is happy. Things left out that you need to know… Lorelei was married to Chris who is Rory’s father. Rory has a sister named GG from his father and his marriage before she leaves him to go to Paris. Lane got married to Zack and has two kids. Sookie, Lorelei’s best friend is married to Jackson who is a produce man, she also has three kids - one girl and two boys. Dean Rory’s ex boyfriend is married to Lindsay but cheats on her with Rory and they got divorced. In Conclusion, Gilmore Girls is great and I realize that by writing this I’m telling you everything about the show but hopefully you still go and watch it. If you do you will not regret it, because it is almost like better than life.

Meet the Fastest Man Alive: The Flash

Would You Rather?

By Sydney Parr The Flash’s name is Barry Al-len. He works at the police department as a forensic scientist. He is a speedster (he is the fastest man alive). The Flash also has a team called Team Flas. The people on this team are Cisco Romone, Harrison Wells, Cait-lin Snow, Iris West, Julian Dorn, and Detective Joe West. In The Flash, Barry has to defeat and save many metahu-mans (people with powers like him, but who are evil). Barry Allen and his team can travel through earth's and parallel ver-sions of this earth. Barry can also run into the future and the past and has the ability to change both of them - which he did once it was called Flashpoint. He

went back in time to save his mom and dad. He fixed it, but when he went back things were different then when he had left. Since he has been back he has run into a speed god called Savitar, who is out to ruinBarry’s life and kill everyone in it. Barry has been doing everything he can and so far has stopped him. Barry Allen aka The Flash is amazing. If you want to watch, it is on CW on Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m.
