THE INSIDE SCOOP
Welcome Aboard the YACHT
By: Rachael Lemon
This year, new clubs have brought students together that in more ways that connect common interests. Several of these clubs have formed to promote community service.
Advisor Ms. Faudel and president Ashton Henry formed YACHT, Young Adults Chasing His Truth, with the focus on Christianity and prayer. Coming together to fundraise for charity and missionaries, YACHT provides a support group for those who are seeking the truth in His name.
Clubs with the purpose of serving the community have become a running theme among the high school. Advisor Lisa Lee-Briggs formed Crocheting for a Cause, where the products created will be donated to groups in need. The club will vote on a project that is needed out in the community and help out in the form of crocheted crafts. “We are bringing the art of crocheting back” said Lisa Soliz. Twentynine Palms will be cozier than ever.
Getting others involved is a focus on campus. With the help of Lisa Soliz and Gerald Gorski, students can come together with those string strumming to a central location. Guitar club is here, and those who are learning or wanting to learn how to play guitar are welcome to join. Not wasting talent, students will learn songs to be performed at the talent show and other activities on campus, such as lunch time activities. Look out because school of rock has come to TPHS.
Mr. Shay, the advisor of the Chess club, also provided the students with the opportunity to be a part of something. There hasn’t been much activity yet, but over time both new and experienced chess players will participate in fundraisers and tournaments.
STEAM WILL RISE
By: Kathleen Moore
By: Kathleen Moore
Full STEAM ahead! STEAM is finally underway thanks to Mr. Howes, the site coordinator of the aptly named Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math program.The new Engineering Technology lab consists of seven modules that will aid students by laying the foundation and providing the skills for future careers. Students are presented with modules ranging from robotics and automation to manufacturing technology; each specifically designed to support the prosperity of the future economy.
The STEAM program is intended to provide students with experience in technologically advanced curriculum that will exceed the needs in future careers. STEAM also provides social skills, emphasizes literacy and critical thinking, and allows students to achieve their full potential. Ultimately, STEAM is highly beneficial to students who are interested in becoming an engineer, a technician, or want to get into any kind of health profession.
STEAM is a statewide idea and may soon spread throughout the nation, but here in Twentynine Palms it will become the basis for education, and help students become better problem-solvers in a fast changing economy. Mr. Howes, who also happens to be the art instructor, has constructed a mural which has been, “approved and will go on the building where the new laboratory is.” The mural will say “TPHS STEM” (because STEM fits better) and will have 12 portraits of famous inventors which will be designed by local muralist Tim O’Conner, the same muralist who helped with our Battle of the Bell mural. The program has only begun, but in the future it will rise, like STEAM, to something much greater.
Tragedy Turned Into a Work of Art
By: Ashton Henry
Being a graduate of Deuce-nine, TPHS welcomes Mr. Art back to our Wildcat family. He bravely took over the position of Mr. Davis four weeks into the school year after his unfortunate accident. However, this rushed transition has been a piece of cake for Mr. Art, because he has already been in five different long term positions; none of which have started in an ideal time of the school year. Mr. Art’s tactics for tackling these long term positions are asking other teachers where the students should be at this time of year, and learning how each class learns as a whole.
He usually is prepared to teach his classes, however this time Mr. Art had to start from scratch. He has taken the time to create a helpful syllabus for his new students, telling them what his expectations are as well as how he teaches.
Most of the time, teachers prepare their substitutes for their classes, but due to Mr. Davis’s hospitalization, Mr. Art is left to take on the challenge without guidance.
Reporting for ET, I’m Cassidy Zimarik
By: Alexis Hidalgo
You get in the car. You buckle your seat belt Then you turn on the radio. You hear the DJ talking. Who is that voice? That voice is the voice of our own Cassidy Zimarik, otherwise known as Sassy Cassie Taylor. Ever since the fall of her junior year in high school she has been interested in the entertainment industry. Luckily enough for this wildcat, she’s planning on an internship for the television network, CBS. She’ll be on the set of Entertainment Tonight (ET) and The Insider. Zimarik isn’t quite sure what she is going to be doing, but she is looking forward to “learning how the entertainment industry works inside and out”. She hopes to become a producer of television shows one day. As of right now, whether or not she is going to be in the limelight or behind the scenes in the future is what she is unsure of. For now, Zimarik is going to be the “voice in your heads” on the radio. She enjoys connecting to the community on a personal level and being depended on for sharing the news. Sounds like we’ll be seeing her in the entertainment industry in no time.

3 Primary Differences Between Legal Separation and Divorce

A time may come in your marriage when you realize that you do not want to continue living with your spouse. However, if you are hesitant about filing for a divorce, you can consider a legal separation.
There are some differences between legal separation and divorce, but the three essential differences include:
Continuation or termination of your marriage status. A legal separation is a significant change in the status of your marriage. Filing a petition with the courts is the first legal step towards divorce proceedings.
Legal separation takes about twice as long as a divorce, which is beneficial if you are unsure about following through with ending your marriage.
Both divorce and legal separation include visitation, final custody, child support, and alimony arrangements as well as permanent division of debts and assets. The main difference is that you remain married to each other with a legal separation.
Benefits. A separation agreement protects benefits until a decision is made to file for divorce. Staying married for 10 years or more allows your spouse to take advantage of certain social security benefits.
For example, one spouse may remain eligible for health care or insurance benefits for the spouse if they remain married. Depending on the particular situation, tax and estate planning benefits might apply if you and your spouse remain married to each other.
Practical treatment. Once the courts
enter your judgment for legal separation, you and your spouse are treated as a divorced couple.
3 Primary Differences Between Legal Separation and Divorce
This sets a precedence for the divorce that might follow. For instance, if you divorce after a separation and your case goes to court, the judge most likely will consider your satisfaction with the separation agreement as your approval that the contract should transfer over to the divorce settlement agreement.
The primary difference between divorced and legally separated spouses is that the latter cannot remarry, have no right to intestate inheritance, and cannot file joint tax returns.
Deciding between a legal separation and a divorce is a personal choice. In fact, sometimes spouses elect to remain married but live separately for religious or moral reasons.
Other causes include spending time apart deciding if divorce is positively desirable, and allowing for the retention of medical benefits that divorce ends. Sometimes opting for a legal separation rather than a divorce is a good financial decision.
Additionally, a legal separation may present a less stressful environment to for negotiating a separation agreement than negotiating a divorce agreement. However, if you make the decision to terminate your marital status, then filing for divorce is the best option.

How to Budget for Your Home Improvement Project

How to Budget for Your Home Improvement Project
Are you planning on a home improvement project? The budget is a major component of the project, and it can be a tricky subject to discuss.
However, it is important in order to get the best possible results. For example, if you want to install a beautiful cable railing, you need to know all the cost details, so you can make this project a reality. With the following guidelines, this is possible.
Start Early
It is extremely important to know what your budget is before you begin the project. A lot of people determine their budget during the renovation. If you do this, you might not be able to finish the cable railing you have been dreaming of. Also, people who do not budget beforehand tend to have a difficult time completing their home projects. This is because they do not anticipate the costs involved. When this happens, they have to wait longer to finish each step.
Be Realistic
When you are budgeting, you need to be realistic. Home repairs and updates require money. You cannot expect to get something for nothing. You are going to have to pay for the materials and the cost of labor. However, you probably have different options to choose from to meet the terms of your budget. With a cable railing, for example, you can choose a secondary material that is less expensive. A stainless steel cable railing will probably cost more than one that is made of wood. Both will provide a modern look. However, one might meet the constraints of your budget.
Know What You Are Paying For
During your home renovation, it is always important to understand what you are paying for. This is why it is a good idea to have a contract. There are some costs that are more definitive. These include costs for materials.
However, there are other hidden or less obvious costs that you are probably paying for. These include costs for labor, fees for permits, consulting costs, design fees, and more. Make sure that you are on the same page with everyone that is working on the project about the budget.
If You Run Out of Money
There are occasions when people run out of money. If this is happening to you, it might be a good idea to rethink the project. You could do a smaller railing, or change some of the finishes. You could also postpone the finish date until you come up with more cash.
Hopefully you never have to worry about running out of money. Instead, try to budget early so you can understand the costs and pay for them.

Progressiv.nu: Systemet är riggat.
Det är vår planet. Det är oss som vi slåss för.
Varje europeiskt land råds just nu hålla nere inflationen, och att agera ekonomiskt konservativt. För praktikern betyder detta: håll nere löneökningarna, håll uppe arbetslösheten, för ökar välståndet hos medel- och arbetarklassen, så ökar inflationen. Istället är receptet att låta det ökade välståndet tas ut av de rikaste i samhället
Progressiv.nu samlar texter av unga om den globala kampen för en bättre värld, vad vi kan göra, och vad som händer. Progressiva präglas av framåtsynthet, kampvilja och öppenhet för nya idéer.
I Sverige har andelen fattiga ökat från 9% av befolkningen 2005, till det dubbla 2014.
"Om du inte har en plats vid middagsbordet, så är det troligen du som står på menyn." skämtade Elizabeth Warren. Men sen la hon till: "Washington arbetar för dem som har makt. Och ingen ger upp makt lättvindigt, ingen, ingen kommer bara säga "Okej, kvinnor har kommit hit, låt oss bara flytta på oss ... Vi har en chans att slå oss fram, men vi måste kämpa för det."
I många år har retoriker och pr-experter sagt att politiker måste anpassa sig till mitten, att det är så man fångar väljare, genom att slåss om mitten. Men Elizabeth Warren och en ny grupp av progressiva demokrater i USA har motbevisat alla regler om hur politiker ska vara. De är den nya, ideologiska och progressiva vänstern.
Vårt människovärde fortsätter sjunka, medans marknadens värde fortsätter öka. Och nu är marknaden på kollisionskurs med planeten. Vart ska framtidens välstånd skapas, och vilka ska få ta del av detta välstånd?

Ok, we think that Slappy dummy is great for many reasons. We just knew that we had to add it has a post. First, its mechanics are simple enough so you can practice with it to be a better ventriloquist and it’s cool enough to make some performance in the street or on stage. So you don’t have to spend too much here. We have found it on that site here, called sickdummies. But what we like the most are its eyes that glow in the dark. Yeah, it a bit creepy when you see 2 spots shining in your bedroom. Maybe you will not get a good sleep the first night. Awesome!
Slappy wishes you a good sleep

Ok, we know what you’re about to say. You start on your account with a wiki text talking about history of ventriloquism? WTF! Well, you know what? To know a little bit about the history of ventriloquism is to know that we are a part of something real. Not a new kind of crap that may be in today but that will be out in 2 years. We’re part of a 2 thousand years tradition, guys. So here is the link. And we below
A great history of ventriloquism

Joe, aged 7
It was a small hotel café. The only objects of sympathy were the recessed ceiling lights that gleamed on the tables. Track blinds ran the length of the glazed street wall, splitting the view into strips.
Byrne watched the rain fall, diagonally, crossing the slats. He stirred his cappuccino. Four oldish women occupied a table to his left. The space between them and the other tables
was vacant.
The woman facing Byrne had
curious paint-on eyebrows. He watched her lips move, but heard nothing at all of what she said.
