Election RecapOn Tuesday, November 8th, Americans all across the country cast their ballot

about who they wanted to be the 45th president and vice president of the United States. Donald Trump won 279 electoral votes from the electoral college, in contrast to Hillary Clinton’s 228, meaning that he will take over for President Obama in January. The electoral votes TRUMP the popular vote, meaning that a candidate can win the popular vote, but still lose the electoral votes and the presidency. The case of a candidate winning the most popular votes and not becoming president, is very rare, with the last example being in 2000, with candidates George Bush and Al Gore. Al Gore won the popular vote, but Bush had 271 electoral votes to his 255. In this year's election, Hillary Clinton racked up 59.6 million votes, to Donald Trump’s 59.4 million. If the system regarding the electoral college did not exist, Hillary Clinton would have become the president, calling into question the reliability of the electoral votes. Trump is only the fifth president to gain office without the popular vote.

In order to gain the popular votes, both candidates heavily campaigned, especially in swing states like Ohio or Florida. Fifty-four percent of women voters supported Hillary Clinton, in comparison to 42% supporting Donald Trump. With male voters, Trump gained their support 53% to Clinton’s 41%. Another interesting comparison is how age affected who voted for which candidate. Hillary Clinton won 55% of voters 18-29, and 50% of voters 30-44, beating Trump in both categories. However, in voters 45 and older, Trump excelled, winning the majority of their votes. Clinton gained the support of those in the lower economic class, while Trump gained support of the upper class, while the two evenly split the middle class voters.

Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States of America on Friday, January 20th on the steps of the U.S Capitol Building. This will be the 58th inauguration in American history. Every inauguration, since George Washington’s in 1789, has contained an inauguration speech and the swearing of the oath on the Bible. Donald Trump will move into the White House shortly after, although he has stated that his family will not move in immediately after being sworn in. President Obama will finish the year as president, before passing on the baton to Donald Trump. Obama has delegated to remain in the D.C area, which is an uncommon move for a president to make when he steps down. At noon on the 20th of January, we will officially welcome Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States.

America’s Next President

Diabetes

November is the month dedicated to raising awareness for diabetes and is represented by the color blue. Diabetes is a disease that results when a person's body has too much blood sugar and is unable to produce insulin. Insulin keeps blood sugar levels low, and without it, blood sugar levels skyrocket, causing dangerous risks. Every 23 seconds someone in the United States is diagnosed with diabetes, leading to over 29 million people in America managing the disease. Diabetes awareness is more important now than ever, seeing as how 1 in 11 Americans have diabetes. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is more common in children, and it is when the pancreas is unable to produce any insulin. Only 5% of Americans with diabetes deal with type 1, and it can be treated with insulin therapy. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes is seen in about 95% of the population with diabetes. It is much more frequent than type 1, and it is, for the most part, seen in adults over the age of 35. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas is able to produce insulin, just not enough to supply energy for the body. Type 2 diabetes is often genetic, but that is not always the cause. There is a common myth that type 2 diabetes is more severe than type 1, but in reality, both are equal in risk with a different set of symptoms and treatment plans. Diabetes can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and in severe cases death.

Currently, there is no cure for type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Diabetes caused more deaths in 2015 than breast cancer and AIDs combined, leading the search for a cure to have great significance. You can visit the American Diabetes Association's website to find out ways you can help, such as donations or volunteering.

People all across the country and the world have shown their support for diabetes in an assortment of ways. Baylor University College of Medicine, for example, lit up its buildings with a blue light, showing their support for the awareness of diabetes. Ohio University has donated $32 million toward their second off-campus branch, which is located in Dublin. The money came from a prestigious grant earned by the university several years ago, and it was reallocated toward the Dublin branch. The second phase of the donation, with about $6 million, will go toward research facilities for the Ohio Diabetes institute, in an attempt to further the search for a cure. Diabetes is a disease with a great impact in the lives of many, and thanks to the awareness spread during November, we are much closer to finding a cure.

The Disease of the Month

isclaimer: This article is not what you think it’s about. Well, yes, it is about football, Ohio State, TTUN, and the legendary rivalry between them. On second thought, this article is exactly what you think it is about.

The Game.These two simple words are meaningless alone. But together, they

invoke powerful emotions for Buckeyes and Wolverines alike. To many, the game, an annual faceoff between Ohio State and Michigan, is the most important game of the season. Well, for many seasons. OSU and Michigan have been rivals since 1897, and they competed against each other for the 113th time last Saturday.

In the grand scheme of things, Michigan has won more games. Nine is the victorious margin, as a matter of fact. However, Ohio State hasn’t lost to TTUN since the turn of the century (2000). The Wolverines haven’t defeated the Buckeyes since Lloyd Carr and John Cooper were coaching, respectively.

Speaking of head coaches, Ohio State’s current has been leading the Bucks since 2012. On July 10, 1962, Urban Frank Meyer III was born in Toledo, Ohio. Since then, Meyer has also coached at Bowling Green, Utah, and Florida. In 2014, Urban Meyer took the Ohio State Buckeyes to their 8th National Championship. He is one of three coaches to take two universities to Nationals on separate occasions.

On the other hand, Coach Jim Harbaugh has been with the Wolverines since 2015. For three years, Harbaugh played for the University of Michigan under Bo Schembechler. After 14 seasons in the NFL, Harbaugh coached the Hilltoppers, Raiders, Toreros, Cardinals, and 49ers, as well. In the past few years, he has expressed a strong infatuatio for whole milk.

“The Biggest Rivalry Game of the Year” That’s right. We’re talking OSU vs. MU!

vsWho do you support?

Author’s Note: Taking into account that I bleed scarlet and gray, I think I did a pretty good job of keeping bias out of this article. Nevertheless, please excuse any personal opinions expressed in this piece. Any and all beliefs voiced by the author (me) are hers alone. Go Bucks! Here’s hoping the selection committee gives the team who didn’t even win their own division a chance. Well...we are No.2. It’s safe to say that I wholeheartedly blame dem Nittany Lions.

Are You Peculiar? Welcome to Miss Peregrine’s(Eva Green) loop! It’s where her peculiar children are

protected, never grow young, never grow old. Peculiars are people who have special

abilities, take Enoch(Finlay McMillan) for example; he slips a heart into anything, and it

will obey his every command, especially if it is not alive. Everything is happy there,

especially when Jacob Portman(Asa Butterfield) finds the loop, and taking the place that

his grandfather(Terence Stamp) used to be in. Except for two things. When Miss Peregrine

made the loop, she made it in haste,right when the airplanes from above were dropping

their bomb on the peculiars’ home, and just when Miss Peregrine finds out that they are

going to die.That day wasn’t perfect… It had a hollowgast in it. A hollowgast is a monster

that constantly feeds on a peculiar’s eyes, especially if it is a child’s.They were once

peculiars that wanted all peculiar’s powers. They experimented by taking magic from a

ymbryne (a peculiar who is sworn to protect peculiars- like Miss Peregrine!), but they

ended up as monsters. They are invisible to everyone and everything except Jacob and his

grandfather, the person who was told to have slayed hundreds of hollowgasts. A wight is a

hollowgast that has fed on enough peculiars to maintain its human form. The only thing

that sets them apart are their superhuman abilities, their hunger for peculiars,their long

fang-like teeth, and their white pupils.The second thing that scares the peculiars is that the

hollowgasts and wights are able to enter loops now, and they robbed them for their

ymbryne and peculiars. Here’s a small gist of the movie: It would be alright if the

ornithologist (Rupert Everett) that was taking pictures for a big glossy book turned out to

be Jacob’s therapist, Mrs. Golan(Allison Janney), and the head up of the hollowgast

experiment, the wight Barron(Samuel Jackson) and followed Jacob into Miss Peregrine’s

loop and appears at her doorstep with a big knife against his throat, asking to trade Miss

Peregrine for Jacob. So the peculiar children are left in the care of Miss Avocet (Judi

Dench), an ymbryne who lost her peculiar children to hollowgasts. All of this is so

troublesome that it’s almost funny how much bad luck they have.The peculiars now have

to believe that Jacob will help them and be as great as his grandfather in order for them to

survive and get their beloved Miss Peregrine back. Meanwhile, Jacob has to fully embrace

that he is a peculiar, even if only half of him is peculiar, and he can barely defend himself

against a hollowgast- in order to save the one place he feels special, or shall I say...

peculiar.This is a touching story about how everyone’s unique and everyone has a place in

the world, and it will be sure to thrill and make its audience always remember that

everyone isn’t ordinary. If you’re called a freak or different, always remember that

sometimes your peculiarities may just save the world.

Fortune-telling the Future

by Anya ZhangImagine that you peer into a crystal ball in a dark, velvet colored room with many

cushions. You sit criss-crossed with your back hunched over and leaning into the magics of fortune telling. Your eyes glow and glow from the enchanting and mystical lights of the mist swirling inside the glowing orb. All of a sudden, the swirly mists inside the crystal ball turn an angry red and you see your future, as if in a slide. What is your future?

Fortune and knowledge of the future is one thing that a human longs for, but it is the thing, interestingly, that can never be known before. People crave to reveal anything and everything that is hidden and veiled. They have an unstoppable thirst for solving life's puzzles. They always want to know the mysteries and meanings for the secret truths of life.

Fortune telling is a practice of predicting one's future, but there are many ways to do it. It is often merged with divination, the godly practice of predicting the future by explaining supernatural signs. What's written in one's destiny is always hidden, but you can get to see your future merely in the future! But, sometimes, fortune tellers can predict your future to the nearest point, so it can’t necessarily be proved fake.

With the wanting to unfold the mysteries of life, people set out to know their future. They want their futures told. In America and areas around Europe, methods like astromancy (prophecy by means of the stars), horary astrology (an ancient limb of predicting by astronomical things in which a fortuneteller attempts to have a reply to a question by building a prediction for the exact hour at which the answer is received and understood by the astrologer from the astronomy), and spirit board reading (reading and understanding a ouija board (a device containing a small plank, or planchette, on limbs, that relax on a larger beam marked with words, characters of the alphabet, symbols, etc.) A fortuneteller moves his/her fingers over the larger beam and touches the words/etc. while the guiding hands of spiritualists, godly messengers from the future, or others- rest lightly upon the fortune teller’s hands, guiding the hands to answer questions, offer messages, etc.

Fortune telling may be real and it may not be. Whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, we all want to know our future. Will we die peacefully or painfully? Will we meet failure or success? Maybe the future will help us or destroy us, but the most important question is ...Will I fail my math test?

Facts on the Universe and What It Holds

By: Anya Zhang

Imagine that you are an astronaut in the future. You see something in space in front of you. You stop your spacecraft very slowly and climb out. You float lightly towards the dark space and tug on the rope that holds you to your ship, and drift slightly closer. Slowly, a sense of tugging overcomes your body. Suddenly, you realize that you’re being pulled into a black hole! You don’t fight because you know the two outcomes if you are partially being sucked into a black hole. One, you have a quick death of your atoms being stretched out, and two, you have a very quick death of being terminated. “Truth is stranger than fiction and so it is with the universe,” as they would say. What will you discover?

The universe is the made up of space, atoms, time, and energy. There are around 100 billion galaxies in the whole universe. The nearest galaxy to the Milky Way is Andromeda, which is around three million light years from the Milky Way. This galaxy is going to collide into ours, and it will in some many billion years. Earth is a minuscule island of constituent and vitality in the humongous sea of the universe. Our scientists have found things in the big realms beyond our Earth and moon,which are unbelievable and surprising to even your imagination.

The universe that we know of, is a sensational and astounding place, filled with surprises. In the center of each and every galaxy, there is an enormous black hole. Even the Milky Way has an immense black hole in its center. Even the Milky Way has a massive supernova at its center.The world and the ocean of spacetime that we float in (even though it doesn't seem like it until you realize that Earth is floating) has more than 100 million black holes.

When it approaches to black holes, a line can describe it all, the line from Dante's 'Divine Comedy', 'All hope abandon ye who enter here' is actually true. Nothing can escape the phenomenal and unsurpassed gravitational pull of a black hole, not even light.’So you get into a black hole, you never come out. Period.

Phosphorus is a very interesting element. It has fifteen electrons and is, therefore, not stable because it is unable to fill its orbitals. Phosphorus comes in three distinctly unique colors. White phosphorus is poisonous and also highly flammable. It is because of its flammability that manufacturers use white phosphorus to coat the tips of matches. If you heat red phosphorus enough, it will become white phosphorus, attaining said respective qualities. Violet phosphorus has no commercial value, but it is perhaps the most beautiful when excavated.

Phosphorus is also fairly common. It can be found in a multitude of sources including bones, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), baking powder, and fireworks.

In ecosystems, phosphorus cycles through food chains and webs along with energy. Phosphorus can be found in soil, where it is absorbed into the roots of flora as a nutrient. Primary consumers eat the flora containing the phosphorus and absorb it. They in turn pass on the phosphorus to secondary then tertiary consumers. When dead fauna decompose, the phosphorus returns to the soil. Of course, some phosphorus is lost along the way.

When all purposes and facts are analyzed, phosphorus certainly is an important element.

The PhilippinesOriginally published in Asia Today 2016

The Philippine Islands make up an archipelago located between the South China Seas and Philippine Seas. Though many indigenous languages are spoken, the three most common dialects are Tagalog, Ilocano, and Cebuano. The main industries are electronics assembly, food manufacturing, fishing, and rice. Their currency is the Philippine Peso, one U.S dollar being equivalent to 46 pesos.

The Philippines were under Spanish rule until the Philippine Revolution in 1896 when the Philippines won their independence from Spain. In 1898, America won the Spanish-American War, taking the Philippines. The Philippines eventually received their independence in 1946. A few years after gaining their full independence, President Ferdinand Marcos appointed himself dictator of the Philippines. The people protested peacefully and won. “The Filipino people had staged the world’s first successful bloodless revolution, inspiring others to do the same around the world.” (Lonely Planet: Philippines, p.1759).

Religion is a large part of Filipino culture. The Spaniards took control of the Philippines to teach and spread Christianity such that greater than 80% of the population is Catholic. Other Filipinos believe in other religions, including Islam and other branches of Christianity.

Today, some old traditions still carry on. For example, the Igorot was a group of mountain tribes. “...Many Igorot traditions were suppressed...However, most Igorot rituals, fashions, and beliefs remain in some form and some rural villagers continue to live much as their ancestors did, tending to rice terraces and living of the land.” (Lonely Planet: Philippines, p.1776). Also, despite the introduction of new styles of architecture by Spain, the “simple, utilitarian nipa defined Filipino architecture” (Lonely Planet: Philippines, p.1782) and still influenced future design.

Education in the Philippines is very unique, as it has been influenced by foreign occupation. “Changes during the American occupation raised literacy rates to almost 50%” (Lonely Planet:Philippines). At 10 years for both primary and secondary education, the total duration of education is “one of the shortest in the world.” (WENR, World Education News and Reviews). The academic year lasts from June to March and is delivered through formal and informal systems. When choosing a college or university, private schools are preferred.

There are many modes of transportation in the Philippines. While citizens may use bicycles, boats and cars, the jeepney, a colorful, crowded mode of transit, is a hallmark of Filipino culture and is used ubiquitously in urban areas. These modes of transportation can be taken to see some of the famous landmarks. These include Fort Santiago, a citadel and memorial, or the Quiapo Church, a reminder of the Spanish colonization. Some of the more popular places to form, however, are the places like the coral reefs and Mt. Pinatubo.

The Philippines is a beautiful and historic archipelago for many reasons. It is very unique, and its diversity and ethnic background continue to amaze us all.

Karrer MusicAll the talented 8th grade musicians came together to perform and

amazing concert. Band opened with the piece “Skygazer Fanfare” by Randall D. Standridge and directed by Mr.Zuehlke. It was an astounding performance. All the instruments coordinated perfectly to make beautiful music. With diversity of the instruments, a wide set to play, and the smallest details the music still sounded graceful and had such a powerful feeling.The instruments were loud and clear with such good precision and timing. The melodies of the songs were catchy and well-played. The two other songs were “Reaching the Summit” by David Shaffer. The last one was “Uprising” recorded by Muse Matthew Bellamy. Overall, the music they played was beautiful, and it must’ve taken long for all the talented players to have mastered the pieces.

Choir had an amazing performance and was directed by Mr. Gibson. The choir group was flawless. They opened the whole concert with the classic “Star Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott Key. From there, there were amazing pieces such as “Carol of the Bells” by M. Leontouich and Peter Wilhouskey, which was first performed at New York. This song was also accompanied with the tone bell choir with bell chimes. Also, there was “The Ash Grove” with soloists Katie Hite and Pooja Srinivasan. There was also a funny one called “Wishbone” by Phyllis Aleta Wolfie. It’s a festive “conversation” between a sister and a brother, and it has a compassionate twist at the end. Overall, they did really well and had an amazing performance, which sounded amazing as the chorus was on time and the choir group is really talented.

The orchestra did three songs this fall. They did “Dance of the Tumblers,” “Berceuse,” and “Conquistador.” The first song, “Dance of the Tumblers,” was a very fast song that actually sounded like a dance was going on. It was a rapid, bouncy song which was a great start to the orchestra’s concert. Their second song, “Berceuse,” was a slow, calm lullaby which brought tears to some of the parents’ and teachers’ eyes. Since it was a lullaby, it had a very slow and soft tempo. Their last song, “Conquistador,” was a rapid song just like the opener. “Conquistador,” meaning a Spanish conqueror, was a fast paced music piece which sounded like a person was leading a group of soldiers to conquer a piece of land. The orchestra played a variety of fast paced and slow paced songs.

This year’s musical is Peter Pan. Unless you’ve never heard of it, you probably know it. The classic is about a magical boy named Peter Pan who can fly and who refuses to grow up. He spends his days playing on the small island Neverland with his gang, The Lost Boys, which he is the leader of. He and the fairy, Tinker Bell, are always together. One night Peter Pan flies into the room of Wendy Darling, and he convinces her and her siblings (John and Michael ) to go with him to Neverland. After convincing them, they agree and go. The rest is in the Musical. There will be many rehearsals leading up to the musical. Everyone will be working hard to piece together the finished product. Every single person in the cast plays a big part in making the musical come to life. The Musical has great diversity than just traditional musicals. The songs are great, and the actors and chorus are even better. The musical is going to be performed at the Abbey Theater located in the Dublin Recreational Center. The musical will be performed on February 22 at 7:00, February 23 at 7:00, and February 25 at 2:00 and 7:00. Here is the list of the cast, chorus, and stage crew members:

Eight Random Facts You Probably Didn’t Know / Notice By Emily pinto

1. I’M MARIO! Ever heard of the game Mario? Super Mario Bros. was considered one of the best games ever made. Yet, did you ever notice that the bushes and the clouds in the game were the exact same figure but just different colors? (Green and White)

2.”Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.”- William Shakespeare The 2011 Romeo and Juliet animated movie, rated 6/10 stars, had a character that was quite the humorous one in the film. Although this flamingo wasn’t exactly real. So, now it’s time to bring in fact number two! There are actually more plastic flamingos in the U.S than real ones.

3. ARGH! That brings us to this pirate fact. Pirates used eye patches, not because they lost an eye or anything, but rather to see in the dark. The pirates were said to move frequently above and below decks, so when below decks he/she could switch the patch on the eye and that would let them have the advantage of looking in the dark underneath. Then, when above deck, they would just simply switch the patches and the other eye would consume the original light above. Overall, if they were to come in contact with the bright light when firing say a canon without being adjusted to the luminous light, they could be blinded.

4. “Quack” When someone has a phobia it means they have a fear of something Have you ever heard of Anatidaephobia? Anatidaephobia is the fear that one is being watched by a duck. Strange, huh?

5. Moo! Do you know the fast food place where they believe that the cows aren't their source of animal to use for their food, yet chickens are? The place is called Chic-Fil-A, yet many don't notice that Chic is only with a c and not k. This is an example of the Mandela Effect.

6. “Bah!” Wait that's a sheep... I am actually not sure what sound a goat makes. Speaking of goats, did you know that their pupils are actually rectangles? Strange, am I right?

7. Awww Have you ever seen Happy Feet, starring animated penguins and their life? Well, from my research I found out that penguins give their mate a pebble as if a human were to give the other a ring. So, for all those penguins out these, make sure your mate gets you a nice pebble;).

8. GET OFF! If you ever got a mosquito bite, we can both agree they usually itch like crazy! Now think of a mosquito on your arm, but with 47 teeth! Yep, mosquitos have 47 teeth.
