Atlanta United

by Juliana A

Atlanta United the star soccer team of Atlanta Georgia. They began not over 3 years ago and quickly rose to the top. They won the MLS(Major League Soccer) and a lot of their season’s finals. Their last game was against Toronto and they at first were winning then soon lost against them. The team was kicked out of the MLS. The fans were devastated and left the stadium depressed. Like last year they went to the finals of the MLS Cup and won against Portland.

As they quickly rose to the top, they had their moments and did lose some games. They have a new member and coach. The fans have a dislike for the new coach since the last coach was better and had a nicer set up then the coach now. Atlanta United has inspired a lot of the youth today who are a fan and/or play soccer to grow up and play more. As time goes on we hope to have a female team and will gladly be supported as much as the male team is.

안녕하세요! 나는 줄리아나와 나는 여기 당신에게 한국어의 기초를 가르치려고.(Hi! I’m Juliana and I am here to teach you the basics of Korean.)

Red Panda

by Juliana A

Pandas we all know the black and white animal that is in China and sits around and eats 20 to 40 pounds of bamboo a day. However, have you heard about the red panda? No? Okay well, I am here to give you some information about the adorable creatures called red panda.

A red panda is a mammal. They are also herbivores. T

he family the red panda is in is the Ailuridae. Fun fact, the Red Panda is the last standing Ailuridae. All others are extinct.

Red pandas live in the mountains of Nepal and northern Myanmar (Burma), as well as in central China. The red panda is dwarfed by the black and white giant panda. The red panda typically grows to the size of a house cat. Their big bushy tails add 18 inches. The red pandas use their white ringed tail to cover themselves in the chilly mountain heights.

The red pandas spend most of their days in trees and sleep aloft. They are most active at night as well as in the gloaming hours of dusk and dawn. The red pandas have a taste for bamboo, but unlike their larger relatives, they also eat other foods such as fruit, acorns, roots, and eggs. Female red pandas have their young in the spring or summer and typically have up to one to four young. For 90 days the young red pandas stay in their nest while the father pays little to no attention to their offspring.

But wait! There’s more! If you want a red panda yourself you can adopt one for only $50. All you have to do is leave this post, go search “Can you adopt a red panda?” and see if you can get one for $50.

The voicemail conspiracy theory

by Juliana A

A conspiracy theory that you probably heard of or maybe not. The voicemail conspiracy theory is the biggest conspiracy theory that was pieced together piece by piece. One night a twitter account called Straydaway got a voicemail saying “I really need yall to listen to this voicemail I just got… I am deactivating my cell phone service” then he screen recorded it. The voicemail said “Sierra, Delta, Alpha, November, Golf, Echo, Romeo, Sierra, Oscar, Sierra.” The words used were military alphabet which is a code that says “S Danger SOS.” People also started to piece it together as he started getting messages in different languages or in morse code.

Straydaway also added later on that he was home from dropping his cousin off and was sitting in the car until he saw someone taking photos of his house. People started to piece things together figuring out what things said from the messages. Someone also had a note from one of the messages with it saying “S SOS IT IS DIRE FOR YOU TO EVACUATE BE CAUTIOUS THEY ARE NOT HUMAN. 042933964230 SOS DANGER SOS.” Back to Ty, he translated a message that said, “End the post you just shared about the recording on your phone.” People also started translating the Morse code and they think it says “THEY ARE TAKING OVER 41818 (April 18th, 2018)”

A girl on twitter named Erin Mahony twitted this “Kinda close to the last place Malaysia flight 370 was last primary radar contact.” somebody replied to that post by twitting “What if you’re hearing the black box recording of the flight?” Another Twitter account named Uzamaki said, “And a black box records the last interaction with a plane, THATS WHY ITS A SOS AND SAVE OUR SHIP IT WAS TRYING TO WARN US. Also just to add to my theory because a black box records and audio it also records flight information, which is why it gives coordinates.” And another account replied to Uzamaki with “If these black box recordings match the voicemail. Are you saying the Malaysia flight 370 encountered something nonhuman?”

Then Uzamaki replied again with “The message was saying to evacuate because “they are not human” someone/something on that plane was not human. The pilot and the air control conversation was released and it sounded like a normal conversation and ended with this “Goodnight Malaysia 370.” In the beginning, the pilot was talking fast and not stumbling on his words. In the middle of the conversation near the end, he starts to stumble a bit. He keeps stumbling adding ums and errs. Right before he says “Goodnight Mayalsia.” You hear the sound of another voice it’s really quick.

A theory is that the plane was taken over by someone or something and when it entered the cockpit that’s why the pilot started to stumble.then the cockpit might’ve been open again by the entity and scared the flight attended then the pilot was forced to end the call say goodnight and go off the radar then everything started going downhill fust Ty’s account was removed then people started noticing that Ty’s photo was stolen from another account called HOOC1DE Then Erin the girl who figured out the Mayalsia coordinates tweeted this “Can we all just agree that this isn’t true…..I regret ever saying this. It was literally the most farfetched conspiracy theory and I don’t believe it. Never thought it would be hyped up this much, can everyone relax now?” and then a tweet from HOMOC1DE said it was him who got the voicemail and it is real but it has gone to far. I’m so confused. Who is TY? who is HOMOC1DE? Why did Erin say out of nowhere nevermind this isn’t real? If this is all just a big elaborate hoax. Who started it? It’s crazy to think about somebody taking a social media person and throwing them into a conspiracy theory without them even knowing what was going on. But you know what it wouldn’t be the first.
