One of the hardest working groups on the Chino Hills High School campus is definitely our Husky Drumline. It is hard to find a group on campus that has more accolades than these Huskies. For the last few years, Drumline has gone to Dayton, Ohio to compete for the title of World Champions. Every year without fail, these Huskies have scored high and made Chino Hills High School proud. This year was no different. Drumline went above and beyond this year to make sure that this performance would be…

Fall is an amazing time to be outside enjoying nature. Going for a hike, tailgating, or just looking at the beautiful colors as the leaves change are all great ways to enjoy this time of year. As the days begin to get shorter, it is important to remember that the temperature will drop significantly once the sun goes down. If you are hiking or engaging in outdoor activities, always make sure to bring a sweatshirt or light jacket. If you are out in the mountains, it is especially important to…

shades. During this time of year it is so enjoyable to be outdoors without worrying about the temperatures being either too hot or too cold. Many residents looks for things to do, places to go and sites to see while the weather is at its peak during autumn. In Alabama there seems to be many exciting events, fairs, festivals and ways for families to gather together to take in sites, learn a few things about culture, food, music, crafting, art and so much more. There are tailgate parties,…

As the holiday season is in full swing, the weather naturally gets changes. The leaves change colors and eventually fall off. The temperature of the warm summer night breeze dramatically changes to a brisk chill and frosty air. As the weather gets colder, women get excited about transitioning out of their summer dresses into fall and winter blazers and scarfs. Fall fashion is fun for many women because they love the fall colors. Maroons, deep purples, royal blues, mustard yellow and navy green…

It all started on an Autumn afternoon back in 2012, when my beloved mother told me that she decided that it was best for me, my sister and her to move to U.S.A. Don’t get me wrong, since I was a little girl, I wanted to travel the world, I wanted to experience new things, meet new people, talk different languages. But not at twelve. I wanted to stay in Barranquilla, Colombia; I wanted to stay with my culture, my traditions, my family and everything that I was accustomed to. However I was only…

An autumn afternoon, a watercolor sunset streaked muted pastel shades across the sky. It was a bitingly cold chill that belonged to winter. My eyes were focused on the Manhattan skyline, a beautifully grotesque thing. Nature, half obscured by looming manmade structures. I wasn 't sure what was uglier. What an outlandish thought, to find nature so unnerving. I had been so preoccupied by my own devices that I hadn 't noticed a small girl on a crumbling concrete stoop, her eyes intently focused on…

It is commonly considered that Ancient Greek is the origin and center of civilization in Europe, and China holds a similar position in East Asia. Aristotle played a significant role for Ancient Greek, and Confucius is highly emphasized in Ancient China. Many may think the two philosophies will confront each other as Europe and Eastern Asia have dissimilar historical development. The two views do have undeniable different views, but they are also comparable and supporting each other in some sense…

His room on Lang Ya Mountain remained dimly lit and sparsely decorated. Mei Changsu did not know how long he was going to stay on the mountain, but for now, the mountain was the safest place he could stay in. Mei Changsu sat on cushion on the ground, his mind flitting from topic to topic too quickly for him to concentrate on the medicine book in his hands. According to the public news that reached the Liang empire, Prince Jing was responsible for causing an internal conflict between Xia Jiang…

The Harvest Moon Festival is an Asian holiday that celebrates the union of families and friends while observing the full moon and giving thanks for the harvest. The Asian American Student Association and the Vietnamese American Student Association observe this day and created a festival here, at Oklahoma State University. I enjoyed the festival, even though the festival did get a bit disorganized, you could still tell that the organizations and the audience all had a fun time regardless of the…

Exactly. From Shounai the mountain does not seem to be round shaped, but it can be seen a clear round shape from the upcountry. On the other hand, the purpose of the fire festival in on December 31 to January 1st is to burn away the year’s plagues. New year is the point when the power of fire burns down, so people need to fuel the fire for all of the people living in the 33 countries in Haguro territory. Bright sunlight is necessary for a rich harvest. In this way, Mount Haguro represents…
