THE INSIDE SCOOP
In Sickness and in Health
Story by: Kerenza Robinson
Imagine yourself in the most important race of the season when, suddenly, you puke. What would you do next? Would you just stop and give up?
Lots of people would. But not Ronnie Rondeau. He decided to keep going and push himself even harder than before. He refused to give up.
This race was different than his usual because Ronnie threw up in the middle of it, giving other runners the chance to pass him. (This may have had something to do with all those hot dogs he ate the night before. But who can say for sure?) Ronnie began to feel a little nervous as he noticed some of the other runners passing him, but afterwards, he felt a surge of energy. He sprinted to the finish line because he “really wanted to get the top seven” and passed both the 6th and 7th place runners. Despite this unexpected turn of events, Ronnie pulled through and ended up placing 5th in league.
Ronnie Rondeau’s performance, along with the rest of the team, guaranteed them a spot in CIFs, which Ronnie is looking forward to a lot this year. He hopes to perform well, and he is ready to end the season with a good race. This is Ronnie’s first year participating in Cross Country, and he has definitely proven himself as an asset to the team. Ronnie joined the Cross Country team to stay in shape for soccer, and he thinks that it has been a valuable experience.
All in all, it is safe to say that Ronnie is one talented runner, especially since this is his first year doing cross-country; he has proven himself a strong athlete.
Never mind the Legacies; We’ll Do It Our Way
Story by: Makayla Ogdahl
There’s something about maintaining legacies... and there’s another something about disrupting them. It’s old news that our very own Wildcat tennis team lost their nine senior starters last season; every team loses seniors, after all.
But even with a team that is 60% newcomers (yes, I really did the math), and a majority of returners having never played a full set before, the girls clawed their way up to second in league, losing only three games in the season. And so, at the end of this season, we found ourselves playing in the famed Indian Wells Tennis Gardens.
Upon first entering we were certain of one thing: “This place is beautiful.”
This place was also very, very hot.
It’s the end of October, come on.
The first matches of the day are won, or lost, fairly easily. Jasmine Smith gets a “Bye”, Alex Morrissey and Makayla Ogdahl win 8-1, and Brianna Sears and Marissa Thomas win 9-7. The only Wildcat knocked out of the running is Lexi Wade, who stays neck and neck with her opponent until the girl manages to steal two games in a row, bringing Lexi’s final score to 5-8.
The second matches are more difficult, to say the least. Makayla and Alex start out their set against the #1 Shadow Hills team in a 1-4 loss, but manage to deafen themselves to the other team’s obnoxious cheers by cheering for each other, and ultimately win in an 8-8 tie break, 7-4. Brianna and Marissa find themselves going back and forth with their opponents, DHS, but manage to break away just enough to win 8-6. Jasmine maintains a less difficult match, and beats her competition 8-0.
Thus ends the first day, with five out of six girls advancing to semi-finals.
The next day proves itself much more of a horrible emotional rollercoaster than the first. As Coach Ingram says later on, it’s sometimes much harder to go against your own team than it is to go against your rivals.
Both TPHS doubles teams lose their first rounds and find themselves pitted against each other in a battle for third. Its hard to want to crush your opponents when you know how hard they’ve worked, just like you have. Despite the coach’s pleas for us to flip a coin or play to eight (instead of two games to six), we fight it out until the very end, and Alex and Makayla come away with third in hand, winning only by a tie break in one game, and the other 6-3. One court over, Yucca Valley’s #1 and #2 doubles teams are also battling it out, and the tension can be felt in the air.
After all is said and done, both Yucca and TPHS get a chance to see the pro court, lay down on it, and take about a dozen selfies on it. The Wildcats now move on to CIFs, winning their first game against San Gorgonio High School 12-6, and closing out their season with a 4-14 loss against Vista Del Lago.
All in all, yes, the undefeated #1 in league legacy was let down. But climbing to second and moving on to the second round of CIFs doesn’t seem like such a bad end to a pretty great season.
That One Word Seniors Love: College
Story by: Kathleen Moore
For three dark and ominous nights, eight seniors were trapped inside a disgusting motel room with bloody carpet as putrid smells filled their nostrils. Regardless of their horrible sleeping conditions the senior AVID trip was a success because they were given the opportunity to visit 11 different college campuses in Northern California during a four day trip, some of which included: UC San Francisco, UC Merced, and UC Fresno. The sole purpose of the AVID trip was to prepare seniors for their much anticipated college-life and give them a better idea of what college could be like.
Students were able to explore the college campuses high and low. They went on tours, checked out different programs, and decided for themselves which types of colleges they were interested in. But they didn’t do all that without Mrs. Lee-Briggs’ support of course.
Koko Cabrera stated, “Mrs. Lee-Briggs showed me what was important. I couldn’t have done it without her guidance.” Koko has always wanted to attend UC Santa Cruz, and once she visited the campus in person, instead of just seeing it through a website, she knew she was making the right choice. She was reassured and excited when she discovered the campus was in a wooded area and it provided a good bio-med program which suited her interests.
Kyle Lav was also excited to explore different colleges, and he now has his mind set on UC Merced. He likes that the college is located in a “farm country” area and has a peaceful atmosphere. After this trip he knew for certain which colleges he was going to apply to and what he wanted to major in. Kyle confessed that, before this trip, there were a lot of “ifs” and he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do, but now he knows.
Overall the trip was extremely beneficial because it served as an eye-opener to most of the students. It helped with the application process and showed the students which colleges they should actually apply to, saving them time and money. The trip was worth it, even though the rooms were horrid, and as advice to anyone interested in college, Koko suggests that you “visit before you apply.”
Are the Cavs in Trouble?

Are the Cavs in Trouble?
After a 1-3 start to the regular season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now facing an incredible amount of criticism from every NBA talking head in America. With last nights loss to the Jazz, and a loss the night before in Portland, there are now people reporting that LeBron James and Kyrie Irving had a "healthy exchange of words" after the Trailblazers game. So this rough start means everything falling apart in Cleveland, and that everyone should panic???..... ABSOLUTELY NOT, PEOPLE.. Take a deep breath and I'll tell you why.
The season started the worst way possible for the Cavs. To start things off, it was a humongous "Coming Home" celebration for LeBron in the first game against the Knicks. The Cavs looked wide-eyed and supposedly Irving asked Mike Miller, "Is this what the playoffs are like?" A question in which Miller quickly responded, "No." HA. The opening game was more of a circus than a basketball game, so that loss is somewhat understandable. Then the next night the Cavs responded valiantly, taking down the other Eastern Conference favorite in the Chicago Bulls. LeBron played like LeBron and everything was fine. Then the Cavs had three full days of rest, and didn't play again until Tuesday night when they took on Portland. After the Cavs lost by 19 points on the road to the Blazers, the criticism started pouring in. James only had eleven points in the loss, and Bill Simmons from Grantland suggested that LeBron could be on the decline due to playing over 40,000 minutes in his NBA career...
So after that long summary of how the Cavs season has started, here are my thoughts: First off, everyone needs to chill.. LeBron tweeted today that everyone needs to "RELAX". Does anyone remember how the 2011 Heat started their season? They were 9-8 through 17 games in LeBron's first season in Miami. They went on to make four straight NBA Finals appearances and won two of them. Second: The chemistry will take sometime to get down, especially on a team with three guys who are used to being "the man" when really "the man" is LeBron James (see playoff appearances of other two guys). The third and most important thing will be the play Dion Waiters. Plain and simple that guy hates to pass the ball. Waiters has always had an ego, and he's even been a pretty good shooter in his career. But this season Waiters has struggled to find his shot, and on Wednesday night he was replaced in the starting lineup by Shawn Marion. The Cavs desperately need their role players to step up. Everyone knows that the trio of LeBron, Irving and Kevin love is an incredible threesome. Those guys will produce in most every game. The key to the Cavs success will be how well the rest of the team meshes with those superstars. Part of that responsibility falls back on the shoulders of Irving, the teams point guard. Over the last six quarters, Irving has failed to recored an assist. As the team's facilitator, that should be his main focus. Through four games, Irving has averaged only 3.8 assists. With the number of weapons he has to pass to on this team, that number needs to drastically increase.
I really believe that once this team gets a few more games under its belt they'll be fine. Let's remember that this is David Blatte's first year as a head coach in this league, and taking on a roster filled with superstars isn't the easiest thing to do. Players will find their roles on this team too as the season progresses. LeBron said it best after the game when he basically told reporters that it wouldn't benefit the team if he were to take over in the fourth quarter every night, and that the team needs to learn from those opportunities. Those chances will come, and the Cavs still have 78 games left on the schedule, so there will be plenty of time for improvement. But for now, take a deep breath NBA fans. If my instincts tell me anything, it's that the Cavs will be just fine. Any team led by KING JAMES himself will be in good shape. The NBA world just needs to sit back and be patient. -BC
Finally, in last nights loss to the Jazz, people immediately overreacted simply because the Jazz are an awful team. How is a team that has three top 10 NBA players, losing to a Jazz squad that's recently overpaid for Derrick Favors, Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks (LOL). Let me also remind everyone that LeBron took over in the final minutes of the loss. He hit a big three point basket, before knocking down three clutch free throws to tie the game. If it weren't for Hayward's incredible buzzer beater then we would all be discussing how LeBron saved the day compared to questioning the Cavs as a team.

The physics behind curling a football
Posted

Views: 1,756
“Bend it like Beckham” is the name given to the curled-ball effect, that name is given because of the English soccer legend, and model, David Beckham. Many people can curl the ball, but few of them know the physics behind the kick-and-curl. To curl the ball, you simply kick the ball slightly off the center of the ball, and a little downwards, causing it to spin horizontally. The air will move more quickly around one side, making less pressure on that side of the ball.

Sinesia: Revista de ciencia de la información
¿Por qué se forma la comisión de investigación? Porque es una función importante dentro de la Escuela y en la Facultad, es necesario trabajar en la investigación que estaba ausente de alguna manera. ¿Por ausencia? Por ausencia de dirección y de coordinación. Porque si se hace investigación, los profesores y estudiantes los hacen. Pero trabajar en esa sistematización de la información que producen se ameritaba de representantes. ¿Por qué surge ahora? Lo que hubo fue una renovación, ya la Escuela contaba con una Comisión. ¿Por qué la Escuela no cuenta con una revista? Puede responder a muchísimos factores: la dedicación que eso representa, coordinar el arbitraje y los colaboradores, es toda una gran responsabilidad. ¿La Escuela cuenta con especialistas? Sí los hay, tienen escalafón, tiene conocimiento y preparación para hacerlo sólo que es un gran trabajo. Es un trabajo de mucha colaboración, requiere de un gran equipo de trabajo. Y este boletín es una intro, un preámbulo...más adelante pretende ser… Este boletín nace con la intención de difundir los trabajos de ascenso, de pre y post grado. ¿Serán resúmenes o estarán disponibles a texto completo? No, sólo resúmenes porque el texto completo está disponible en Saber UCV y su periodicidad será semestral. ¿Van difundir todos o van hacer una selección? Todo los trabajos registrados durante ese lapso de tiempo. Había pensado que la revista tuviese una sección de trabajos de ascenso porque estos no tienen salida. Sí tienen, en los distinto eventos que organiza la Facultad para promocionar las investigaciones. Hasta ahora había sido una difusión oral de eso trabajos Sí, también a través de las jornadas internas que tiene la Facultad. Y ¿dónde queda la publicación finalmente? en el libro resumen o en la publicaciń en digital que le entregan a los participantes. Ustedes van a hacer un nuevo resumen o van publicar los elaborados por los autores No, se le hará una revisión pero la idea es publicarlo exactamente como parece en el trabajo. Y ¿Cuál software van a utilizar para editar el Boletín? Inicialmente se ha hecho caserito, es decir lo hice yo. Estoy haciendo el documento en word para luego pasar a pdf.

DYNASTIES
The culture of China is ancient and well established, brilliant and gorgeous. The costumes are likewise magnificent and colourful. There were many dynasties throughout China’s history, each having its own unique style of dress. And each style would change or disappear as its dynasty changed, or was replaced. With the arrival of each new dynasty and the progression of time, costumes were revolutionised. The style was classical and elegant in the Qin and Han dynasties, luxurious and glamorous in the Tang dynasty, delicate and exquisite in the Song dynasty, graceful and magnificent in the Ming dynasty, and very intricate in the Qing dynasty. Stylised costumes first appeared in the Yellow Emperor, Yao and Shun periods.

DIABETES
¿que tipos de diabetes hay y que son?
La DIABETES tipo 1 es una de las enfermedades crónicas infantiles más frecuentes. Ocurre porque el páncreas no fabrica suficiente cantidad de insulina
La DIABETES tipo 2 es la forma de diabetes más frecuente en personas mayores de 40 años. Se la conoce también como diabetes del adulto, aunque está aumentando mucho su incidencia en adolescentes e incluso preadolescentes con obesidad. En este tipo de diabetes la capacidad de producir insulina no desaparece pero el cuerpo presenta una resistencia a esta hormona. En fases tempranas de la enfermedad, la cantidad de insulina producida por el páncreas es normal o alta. Con el tiempo la producción de insulina por parte del páncreas puede disminuir.
Otros tipos de diabetes
DIABETES MODY (Maturity Onset DIABETES in the Young). Se produce por defectos genéticos de las células beta. Existen diferentes tipos de DIABETES MODY, hasta la actualidad se han descrito 7.
Diabetes Relacionada con Fibrosis Quística (DRFQ). La fibrosis quística es una enfermedad que afecta a múltiples órganos entre ellos al páncreas, esto conlleva que se pueda desarrollar diabetes.
Diabetes secundaria a medicamentos. Algunos medicamentos pueden alterar la secreción o la acción de la insulina. Los glucocorticoides y los inmunosupresores son algunos de ellos.
DIABETES GESTACIONAL. Intolerancia a la glucosa que se produce durante el embarazo que puede ser debida a múltiples causas.Otros tipos de diabetes
