The Rating System:

Movie ratings provide parents with advance

in-formation about the content of movies to

help them determine what movies are ap-

propriate for their children at any age. After

all parents are best suited to knowing each

of their children’s individual sensitivities

and sensibilities to pick movies for them.

Ratings are assigned by a board of parents

who consider factors such as violence, sex,

language and drug use, then assign a rating

they believe the majority of American par-

ents would give a movie.

There’s a man on the moon, with a golf club!!!

Many people know that Alan B. Shepard Jr. was the first American in space. But what some people don’t know

is that he was the oldest Astronaut to walk on the moon! At age 47, on January 31, 1971, Shepard and Edgar

Mitchell launched off for the Apollo 14 Moon Mission trip. They were the 3rd

manned mission to perform a

landing on the moon. When they made it to the moon, they had a sense of success, but they wanted more. After

they landed, Shepard pulled out a 6-iron golf club and went golfing!! He hit 2 balls off the moon, but not before

missing once! Mitchell also wanted to celebrate so he pulled out a javelin, and threw it as far as he could. The

whole thing was filmed and sent back to earth. It was a very memorable day! “I must admit, maybe I am a piece

of history after all.” –Alan Shepard

What affect does

music

really have on you? Do you ever wonder how music

really affects you?

Happy/Sad music affects how we

see neutral faces. Our brains re-

spond differently to happy or sad

music. There are two emotions related to

music: perceived emotion and felt emotion.

We can understand the emotion in the

piece of music without really feeling them. A

moderate noise level is the best for creativ-

ity. In high noise levels our creativity is ef-

fected because the struggle of process infor-

mation efficiently is overwhelming. Classical

music can improve visual attention, Study

has showed listening to classical music im-

proves visual attention.

The type of music we listen do can

make it easier to predict our personali-

ties. According to the study of Heriot-

Watt University this is a breakdown of

how the different genres correspond to

our personalities.

Blues fans have high self-esteem, are creative,

outgoing, gentle, and at ease.

Jazz fans have high self-esteems, are creative,

and outgoing, and at ease.

Classical music fans have high self-esteem, are

creative, introverts, and at ease

Rap fans have high self-esteems and are outgo-

ing.

Country and western fans are hard working and

outgoing

Reggae fans have high self-esteem, are creative,

not hardworking, outgoing, gentle, and at ease.

Dance fans are creative an outgoing but not

gentle.

Indie fans have low self-esteem, are creative,

not hard working, and not gentle.

Bollywood fans are creative and outgoing.

Rock/heavy metal fans have low self-esteem, are

creative, not hard working, not outgoing, gentle

and at ease.

Chart pop fans have high self-esteem, are hard-

working, outgoing, and gentle, but are not crea-

tive and not at ease.

Soul fans have high self-esteem, are creative,

outgoing, gentle, and at ease.

Monopoly Game History Today, it’s the best-selling board game in the

world sold in 80 countries and produced in 26

languages including Croatian. But where did the

monopoly game come from? How did this phe-

nomenal pastime get its start? MR. MONOPOLY

tells the legend best. It was 1943 the height of

the depression when Charles B Darrow of Ger-

mantown , Pennsylvania, showed what he called

the MONOPOLY game to the executives at Parker

Brothers. Can you believe it, they rejected the

game due to 52 design errors. But Mr. Darrow

wasn't daunted. Like many other Americans, he

was unemployed at the time and the games ex-

citing promise of fame and fortune inspired him

to produce it on his own. With help from a friend

who was a printer, Mr. Darrow sold 5,000 hand-

made sets of the game to a Philadelphia depart-

ment store. People loved it! But as demand grew,

he couldn't keep up with all orders and came

back to talk to Parker Brothers again. The rest, as

they say is history! In its first year, 1953 the MO-

NOPOLY game was bestselling game in America.

And over its 65– years history, an estimated 500

million people have played! Over 200 million

games have been sold worldwide. More than five

billion little green houses have been “built” since

1935. a set made by my friend at Alfred Dunhill,

with gold houses and silver hotels sold for

25,000. the longest game in history lasted 70

straight days. The longest game in a bathtub

lasted 99 hours. The MONOPOLY game is so

much a part of todays popular culture that my

lawyers have trademarked many of its graphic

elements. The tokens, railroad COMMUNITY

CHEST, CHANCE, and Title Deed designs as well

as BOARDWALK and all four gameboard corners

are Legally protected. www.getminted.com

Just a little thinking... By Trent Turley

“To be, or not to be? That is the true ques-

tion.” - William Shakespeare

Many questions have been asked that many

people could not answer. Philosophers rack

their brains trying to think of why we were cre-

ated, what's our purpose, and so on. While

many famous questions have been asked

over the years, I will be trying to answer some

of the more recent ones.

1. “Why do we press harder on a remote con-

trol, when we know the batteries are flat?”

I believe it is because we have hope; we have

hope that our remote will carry us on the

dreadful battlefield of terrible TV shows. That

one more click away could be the Duck Dy-

nasty we so wish for.

2. “Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?”

Why take glue and plastic for an example.

Some where along the years, glue and plastic

had a falling out, and now the glue always

bounces off the plastic. So now I’m inclined to

believe that the glue is just a horrible friend

and the bottles just won’t

put up with it anymore.

3. “If you send someone Styrofoam, how do

you pack it?”

The more obvious question would be why are

you sending someone Styrofoam? I like to

believe everyone has that super nice but a

bad gift giver relative.

4. “Isn't it a little scary that a doctors’ work is

called practice?”

Wouldn’t it be even more scary if you had a

doctor who never practiced but instead just

started working at the start?

5. “Why is there an eject button on the DVD

player? Don’t you have to get up to get the

DVD?”

I’ve always enjoyed not having to waste .5

seconds of my day to having to press the

eject button on the DVD player. I could totally

do so much with all that time.

By Eli Watson

Recently, the number of police

brutality incidents has sky rock-

eted. Several states have been

scolding their police officers but

in truth, very little has been done

about it. Brutality has become a

massive ordeal. If an officer re-

dundantly uses force on some-

one then chances are that he’s

done it to someone else before

and has gotten away with it. Po-

lice have a dangerous job and

it’s natural for someone to be

intimidated by all the pressure.

In a public poll, about 50% of

civilians actually believe that

most policemen work with integ-

rity. In 2010, 127 fatalities were

confirmed from police brutality.

This doesn’t include unreported

fatalities, or injuries. When Po-

lice brutality occurs, 60% of the

time it involves viscous physical

force. The other 40% is when

firearms or tazers are used with-

out just cause.

If you happen to witness or

are the victim of any form of po-

lice corruption, you must take

the necessary actions to defend

yourself and others. You are legally

allowed to publically record police

officers. They are not allowed to

take away your camera

or phone if you are

recording them in the

street. It’s necessary to

record them during

arrests so that there is

undeniable proof if

they did or didn't fol-

low all of the regula-

tions involved in the

action or committed

misconduct. If a police

officer pulls someone

over, they must have

probable cause.

“Probable cause just means

when an officer believes that a

crime is more likely than not occur-

ring” per Osage County District At-

torney Rex Duncan.

Swerving, a busted taillight, ex-

ceeding the speed limit, etc, are all

common probable causes. When

someone is being pulled over, they

are not in custody yet. Officers can

request their license, registration,

etc, but if they want to search your

car, they must ask permission first,

Otherwise, they need to have a

probable cause to search without

consent or warrant. For example,

if someone were to fail a sobri-

ety test, that would qualify as

probable cause. If a police offi-

cer does not have a probable

cause or a warrant, you do not

have to give him permission to

enter your vehicle or home, or

let him search them.
