A Game of Russian Roulette

By: Keenbelynn Bellande

To be black in America

Like a game of Russian Roulette, 

Is waking up and being unsure of what's to come.

It’s having someone who holds all the POWER

Spin the cylinder, 

Pull the trigger, 

And Click. 

One shot gone. Three shots remain. 

To be black in America 

Is a white man feeling THREATENED 

By a little black boy with radiant black skin, 

Instilling terror with just a hood, candy, and tea.

Again, the ones with the most power:

Spin the cylinder, 

Pull the trigger, 

And Boom. 

Another shot gone. Two shots remain. 

To be black in America 

Is being a walking CONTRADICTION…

When you fight for PEACE and LOVE in a country, 

And they won't fight for you. 

When those who are sworn to protect you, 

Do the complete opposite. 

When your life is cut short,

With the introduction of VIOLENCE into your own home.

Having a police officer spin the cylinder, 

Pull the trigger,

And Boom.

Another shot gone. One shot remains.

To be black in America

Is turning heartbreak into kindness and hope. 

O’ to black in America,

Whether it be celebrated, ignored, or exploited. 

It’s knowing that Black is beautiful. 

And it's worth holding on to that last shot. 

Lose Weight This Summer

By Gianna Feglia

We have all been there, trying crazy ways to lose weight faster. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that will never work. As many articles and books claim they can help you lose weight, in under a month or maybe even a week. I can assure you that will never happen and can even lead to health issues or eating disorders. In my article, you will find healthy ways to lose weight sufficiently. 

1. Work Out Efficiently 

Working out AT LEAST three times a week is a great way to lose weight, and just to stay healthy overall. Working out promotes a healthy mindset and gives many motivation on their weightloss journey. Anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes a day is recommended for just starting out. 

2. Eat In A Calorie Deficit 

“A calorie deficit occurs when the number of calories a person consumes in a day is smaller than the number of calories they burn. The body needs to burn a certain number of calories to perform all its functions each day.” Calorie deficits are extremely effective and healthy for a person to do. Eating in one will promise results. 

3. Cut Out Sugary Drinks

Once I made this cutoff I never wanted to go back. I understand this is a lot to ask for and it’s completely normal to have a soda or juice box once in a while. Sugary drinks caused many problems for me personally. These drinks caused more bloating and even acne. When I switched to just water I noticed an insane amount of difference. I’m not saying to cut it off completely because that is not possible, just monitor yourself and have self control. 

4. Cut Out Processed Foods

Processed foods are usually high in added sugars, added fats and calories. They are  specifically designed to cause binge eating. Making it so you have self control and allowing cheat days for processed foods is a great thing to do. 

5. Stop Letting The Scale Discourage You

The scale is always wrong. Some days you drop extra low, some days you weigh extra

high. Once you start working out, you will gain muscle which will make the scale

number go up. Do not be alarmed by this, this is actually a great thing! The best thing is

to stay strong and remember this will be a journey. 

6. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

Although fruits have lots of sugar, they make such great snack replacements. This sugar is natural so please do not get discouraged. Vegetables are almost always low in calories 

The Rise of Depression During the Pandemic

 By Mayumi Soul

During the pandemic, more and more people have found themselves feeling alone, depressed, and/or hopeless. To many people, everything seems to be crumbling down and adding weight to their shoulders. With each negative thing in the world, more weight is added. The pandemic, protests, discrimination, lack of social contact, and everything else just adding pressure to people and leading their mental state to a point where they feel major anxiety and symptoms of depression. Many mental hospitals everywhere have been at maximum capacity and psychologists and psychiatrists all over the world have been saying that this mental health pandemic should be taken just as seriously as the Covid-19 pandemic.

Depression and anxiety are already serious issues, but now during the pandemic the amount of people that have gotten these mental disorders has skyrocketed. Many psychologists have been finding out that there has been a very large rise in cases of depression. Knowing about mental disorders such as depression and anxiety is very important, because it can help us have knowledge of how to help ourselves and others when they’re going through a depressive episode, or having an anxiety attack, or anything else of the sort.

The Covid-19 pandemic was an unexpected shock to billions of people all over the world. With it has come sickness, controversy, and another pandemic that not many people have taken as seriously as Covid. Psychologists and psychiatrists have declared the significant rise in depression, anxiety, and suicide a “mental health pandemic”.

     

     Many people have been losing their jobs and isolating themselves, which has led to many feeling alone, depressed, and anxious. 22 year old Philaé Lachaux who was interviewed by the New York Times has said “The pandemic feels like a big stop in our lives.. One that puts us so low that I wonder, ‘What’s the point?’” Many people have felt a similar way to Lachaux, and because of this, school guidance counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists everywhere are becoming overwhelmed with the amount of cases of depression, anxiety, self harm, and suicide.

     The demographic that is mostly affected is 18 to 24 year olds. According to the New York Times, “In the United States, a quarter of 18- to 24-year-olds said they had seriously considered suicide, one report said.” It is thought that this age group is affected because they are in the prime of their lives. Because of the pandemic, they can’t do anything that they would like to do while they’re young. They can’t live their lives freely as they usually would during that age.

     Catherine Seymour, head of research at the Mental Health Foundation, has said that young people living in poorer households are more likely to experience anxiety and depression, according to a study conducted. According to her, “It may be that those in poorer households are more likely to lack enough space and internet access to help with schoolwork and communication with their friends, they may also be affected by their parents’ financial worries and stress.” 

People who have less money have even more to worry about, because of financial issues, the pandemic, personal struggles, and more. All of these things can really pile up on someone and mess with their mental health.

     Some things that many mental health professionals have suggested can help with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and more is to first try to talk to the suicide hotline. The hotline is not just for people who want to commit suicide. Many people who just needd someone to talk to go to the suicide hotline. If that doesn’t help, another way is to be productive with your free time. According to the New York Presbyterian, you should “Ask yourself: ‘What’s the problem? I’m bored, I’m in isolation. OK, so I could exercise, I can contact people, I can make plans and do chores. I can look at this as a challenge to identify short-term and long-term goals.’' One more way that you can try to help yourself is to reframe your perspective. 

The New York Presbyterian also says “It’s OK to feel upset and to acknowledge to yourself and to others these are difficult times. Yet this could be an opportunity to think about what you value or really want to do with your life. If you look at this period as intentional practice of not going out to restaurants and bars, you may realize you can thrive without those routines.” There are many other ways that can help someone feel better about life right now, such as doing a hobby, talking to people (it can be online if not face to face), and more. 

Always remember that if you, the reader, feel depressed, anxious, hopeless, or anything else of the sort, you are not alone. Things won’t stay like this forever, and there are a lot of people who care.

Top 5 Places to Grab a Slice of Pizza in West Hempstead

 By: Lillian Fackelman

Pizza, an Italian dish consisting of a flat base and crust of dough baked with a topping of tomato sauce and cheese.  Pizza is a staple food for most people in New York.  Eating a slice of pizza is easy, quick, and delicious.  Pizza is also decently healthy, I mean it's got almost all of the food groups.  It has fruit, vegetables, grain, and dairy.  It might be what someone calls the perfect meal.  Often eaten as lunch, dinner, or midnight snack.  Even breakfast, if you're me.  Pizza is just as enjoyable hot or cold.

Pizza is something that most people eat on a fairly regular basis.  If someone says they don’t like pizza, they first are crazy and second probably haven’t had real New York pizza.  It is pretty well known that New York has the best pizza.  I am here to tell you the top 5 places to grab a slice of real New York pizza in/near West Hempstead.

#1: Gino’s Pizzeria & Restaurant

Located at 619 Woodfield Road, West Hempstead, Gino’s Pizza is the top rated pizza place in West Hempstead, New York.  With 4.6 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews.  Leena Joseph said, “This is the BEST pizza in Nassau County!! And I've tried all of them! The crust, the cheese and the sauce are amazing! Order a plain pie, well done and you won't be disappointed!” 

Gino’s sells a slice of pizza for $3.00.  A little bit pricier than the other slices in WH, but not by much.  Let me tell you something, it is well worth the extra money.  Gino’s regular pie is delicious, but it is their specialty pies that sets them above the rest.  Sue, from West Hempstead, says, “The grandma pie with vodka sauce is to die for!” 

#2: LaRosa’s Restaurant & Pizzeria

LaRosa’s of West Hempstead is one of the more popular pizza spots located in the center of West Hempstead, on Hempstead Turnpike.  LaRosa’s is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars.  Ryan Skoulatos said, “La Rosa's pizza belongs honorably in the rankings of Long Island's pizza game…” LaRosa’s prices are comparable to other pizzerias in the neighborhood.  With a regular slice costing $2.90.  In David Schick’s review of LaRosa’s, he states, “If you want a great meal with great service and good prices I promise you will not be disappointed.”

Besides good pizza and good food, LaRosa’s family friendly atmosphere adds to the positive experience.  While taking a look at the many great reviews, I noticed a common theme of LaRosa’s being family friendly.  “It's a warm, friendly place where families can relax and enjoy a meal together,” says Geraldine Steiner.  

#3: Hunki’s Kosher Pizza

Hunki’s is one of the most well known Kosher pizza places in Nassau County.  Hunki’s is located at 338 Hempstead Avenue, West Hempstead NY.  With super loyal customers, Hunki’s Kosher Pizza is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars.  So many of the reviews mentioned the consistent good service and great pizza.  For example, Drew W states, “The food is consistently good at a reasonable price…”

Hunki’s charges $2.50 for a slice of pizza, which is on the low end of prices for pizza in the West Hempstead area.  What it lacks in ambiance, it makes up in quality.  Hunki’s is the place for quick, consistently good pizza.  In addition to pizza, its Israeli cuisine is worth trying.  Elliot Rosenberg raves that, "Food was amazing I had a falafel and pizza both were great.”

#4: Romeo’s Pizza

On the border of West Hempstead and Franklin Square, Romeo’s Pizza is a local favorite.  This cash only, family owned, old-school pizzeria is known for the authentic and delicious Italian flavors.  Romeo’s is loved by many, with their 4.6 out of 5 stars.  

Known for its authentic cuisine, and reasonable pricing, Romeo’s has been a family favorite for years.  Its location and large parking lot add to the experience.  A review by Rick Mazzone suggests, “For a great dining experience with impeccable service and the best pricing for restaurants on Long Island; do yourself a favor and make a visit to Romeo's.” It truly is the best pricing, at $2.25 a slice. 

#5: Avellino’s Pizzeria & Catering

Located at 279 Nassau Blvd, Garden City South, NY 11530.  Avellino’s is just North of West Hempstead.  With 4 out of 5 stars, Avellino’s is loved by all of its surrounding neighborhoods, Garden City, Garden City South, West Hempstead, and Franklin Square.  This little pizzeria has a lot of heart.  Avellino’s supports West Hempstead school’s fundraisers and events.  Frequently donating a percentage of Tuesday orders to support the West Hempstead School district.  

Known for their daily specials, Avellino’s might be the best pizza bargain around.  Avellino’s has multiple lunch deals, the most popular being 2 slices and a fountain soda for $5.00.  Purchasing a single slice is $3.00, with that price you might as well get the extra slice and soda.  Take it from David Saenz, “Great food at great prices especially if you take advantage of one of their numerous daily deals.” 

Fast Food, Friend, or Foe?

 By Babacar Seck, April 2021

Fast food has been a part of our lives for decades, some of us might not even know what life was before it. Large fast food companies like McDonalds, Popeyes, and Burger King have been around since the 1900, even if they were different back then. 

As the times change, so do food regulations, and as it gets lax in some places, people start to find ways to get people to buy their products, in more phycological ways.

 And with such addicting food choices that can lead to spikes in blood sugar, and rapid obesity, it’s no wonder many people are attempting to halt fast food companies from continuing to serve such unhealthy foods, and look back on their advertising.

Many people feel fine consuming fast food, or don’t care about the side effects, even though there are many warnings strung throughout the media. Eating Fast food can have serious side effects, such as blood sugar spikes, obesity, depression and anxiety according to articles on the Washington Post, as well as articles on Healthline. Many people know this, and yet still eat fast food regularly. How do they get you, the consumer to buy their product?

Well, It’s about advertising. Making their stores open 24 hours is one way they make it easier for you to buy their product. They use colors and pictures to lure you into their establishments, where they can not only get you to use your money, but also get you to come back for more. Using tricks like super sizing for a small cost.

Of course, those aren’t the only tricks Fast food companies have up their sleeves. They use their menu formatting, using 9.99 and 3.75 to make you think you only spend 9 dollars, or 3 dollars, when you’re effectively spending 10, or 4. By using combos, they get you to think that you're spending less money. That however, distracts you from the large quantities of food you're buying. 

Your wallet isn’t the only thing you should be wary of at your local fast food joint, considering the lack of nutrition in most fast food items. During a study on the effects of junk food, 12 men ate only junk food for 5 days, without eating any more calories than they would on a normal day. The result was their muscles struggling to glucose into energy, even though they ate no more calories than usual. And this isn’t an isolated incident. It was found that eating processed foods killed more people prematurely then smoking(according to the NCBI)

  Even when people think they are being careful, fast food companies can still pull a fast one. Most people are unable to correctly identify how much sodium they were eating daily(according to a Healthline article), and the hazardous food colors and additives aren’t helping in that regard. (according to a health line article) In studies where people think they are eating healthy, on average, they indershot by 20%. 

Fast food, though it tastes good, is really bad for both your body, and your mind. Restaurants constantly attempt to trick you out of your money using psychological tricks, and making you think you're getting a good deal. So watch out, and next time you go to your local fast food joint, remember what you learned here.

15 Dollars An Hour Good or Bad?

 By Alex Santos-Acosta

February 24,2021 The United States senate has come to a decision the federal  minimum wage will not go up to 15 dollars. The minimum wage has been a topic of interest since 1938 where the fair labor act was established after pressure by many workers unions. The minimum wage has not gone up while the cost of living continues to be more due to inflation. But many small businesses argue that a 15 dollar wage would be impossible due to the high wages they would have to pay their employees. CNBC reports that a $15 minimum wage will result in layoffs, one-third of small business owners say.

The federal minimum hourly wage is just $7.25 and Congress has not increased it since 2009. Low wages hurt all workers and are particularly harmful to Black workers and other workers of color, especially women of color, who make up a disproportionate share of workers who are severely underpaid. 

Supporters of the 15 dollar minimum wage also say that it would be economically viable as the benefits of gradually phasing in a $15 minimum wage by 2025 would be far-reaching, lifting pay for tens of millions of workers and helping reverse decades of growing pay inequality.

I interviewed my father to see his side of the story as he has worked minimum wage before and is a person of color.. “I remember the business I used to work at had to lay off some people when the minimum wage increased here in NY. I say that the minimum wage increase would be terrible in the United States.”

Raising the Minimum wage to 15 Dollars will raise prices for those who can afford it the least. Big businesses and high-end restaurants often support higher minimum wages as less competition from small businesses equal more profits for them.

It is unlikely to raise wages for the lowest-paid workers critics say. A higher wage mandate doesn’t create wealth; it merely shifts it around. The CBO finds that a $15 minimum wage will raise wages for some workers, result in layoffs for others and be a net loss for income overall.

Minimum wage here in the United States has been important ever since worker unions have been created. Business analysts and small business owners agree that 15 dollars an hour is too much for them to  pay especially in small states. While Big business owners and most minimum wage workers argue that 15 dollars an hour would be possible. The senate at the moment is leaning towards keeping the 7.25 minimum wage in place unless the United states dollar bill ever implodes due to inflation.

Top 6 TikToker Drama of 2021

 By Arielle Caffie

1. Nessa Barret and Jxdn Dating:

Ever since the new music video created by Nessa Barret and Jxdn, their relationships have seemed to go south. Jaden Hossler and Mads broke up and also Josh and Nessa. Nessa and Jaden started dating secretly at first then it went public, which led Josh Richards heartbroken with everyone supporting him while others throwing backlash at Jaden and Nessa. Mads even made an “immature” video about how Nessa stole Jaden from her. Josh Richards, though responded to the situation with maturity, saying that he is still friends with Nessa and Jaden, but knows and says that 100% he and Nessa are never getting back together.

2. Tess Holiday was saying healthy is a bad word to now healthy/hypocritical:

Tess Holliday was saying or just showing that she can be healthy at her size. One comment made on TikTok showed her hypocritical side on the body positivity movement. The comment stated, “You’ve been looking healthier than ever lately - skin clear and glowy, eyes bright, hair silky, looking rested, energy for days, smiling and laughing more. I hope you feel as good as you look, girl!” Tess Holliday responded with, “I definitely appreciate your kind words & I’m sending you all the love back. I would just ask that next time we not put the word healthy in there, because that’s such a loaded word with negative connotations attached to it. (Also again, thank you!!).”  But when another comment later on complimented Tess’s hair, that it looks healthy, she just says thank you. Not defending her stand against the word “healthy” compared to the last comment. Tess Holliday also joined the Brand called Effyourbeautystandards, “but she does every beauty standard except for being thin”.

3. Another James Charles accusation:

James Charles over the year and years before, has faced repeated allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior with minors. The third allegation on this topic occurred this year in February when a 16-year old boy, Isaiyah, spoke out that he was being groomed in a few Tik Toks by James Charles. Many influencers such as Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein from H3H3 Productions spoke out how his actions should have consequences and that his apology isn’t sincere if he keeps on getting into the same position he was in a few times before.

4. Danielle Cohn and her problematic mother:

People have been saying that Danielle Cohn’s mother has been managing and forcing Danielle to become famous. Letting her dance in an inappropriate way to get her music video views, eating in front of a camera going live, and even lying that Danielle was supposedly 16 when she was 14. People are saying that the mother is just doing this so she can get paid or use some of the money that was given to Danielle Cohn.

5. Pierson and Brent’s friendship/relationship? 

Brent Rivera decided to go on the show “Date Take Over” so his sister can pick a girlfriend for him. Pierson won and Brent and she started hanging out. But are they official? Well in many Tik Tok and Youtube videos about the two would like to show it, but they are not official they say. One day they decided to take a Lie detector test about each other’s truth towards each other. Then Lexi, Brent’s friend asked if Brent would ever marry Pierson? Brent said that he does feel that whoever Pierson marries she would be a good mom, but if they were a married couple, he feels that it would work.

Also after a tense question in the room by Lexi with the question, “Did you ever have feelings for me?” Brent said no, but the lie detector sensed he was lying so he said the truth that Lexi and he were just friends which led Pierson to ask the interesting question. She asked Brent “Are we just friends?” Brent responds, “I think we’re more than friends.”

6. Addison Rae’s new song “Obsessed”

Ever since the new song that came out in 2021, many people have been representing their dislike of Addison Rae’s new song Obsessed. Some people have been saying before that she stole the actual creators’ dances and shouldn’t have been on the Jimmy Fallon show. 

When the new music video came out, some people were mocking her dancing on TikTok or just sending rude comments that she is a poor dancer in her music video. But, because of the way the lyrics were written, people have thought she was just vainly loving herself, but that’s not the truth according to Addison. For Addison Rae stated, “One could take it as being vainly obsessed with yourself, but that’s not what I’m trying to communicate. It’s more I can love myself as much as you love me, and that’s important.”

Top 6 Items You Need To Have Before Running

 By Alex Santos

There are many items that different runners have to help them on their long runs. I have run cross country for two years and Ran track and field for nearly three years. I have run events ranging from the 100m dash to the 10k, and the items I use have always been the same. Here are my top 6 picks for items I use when I go on runs.

1. Having a good pair of running shoes- A good pair of running shoes is one of the most important things to have for running. Many brands sell long-distance running shoes, Such as Nike Adidas Asics, etc. But the best brand for running, in my opinion, is New balance. New balance sells various shoes for distance running ranging from the 800m to the marathon. The shoes that have worked for me are the xc seven from New balance  I have had no complaints about the xc sevens they are lightweight sneakers that are great for running fast and comfortable enough not to hurt your back. 

         

2. A good watch- A watch is another important item you need for distance running. It is used to record your steps and heartbeat. Many brands sell watches but the two I recommend are Apple if you use an Iphone and Samsung if you use an android device. It also helps that those two watches are the most accurate and best at what they do with the added sensors inside making the two brands steps ahead of their competitors in the smartwatch industry.

3. A water bottle- A water bottle is very important for physical activities you use to not be dehydrated or for cooling down. I drink my water after my runs to prevent cramps in my stomach but it all depends on the person and the intensity of the workout. The one I use is the Gatorade Squeeze 32oz Plastic Water Bottle any water bottle will do.

4. String Bag- A string bag is used to carry your items. You need a stringbag that can hold your  items. I recommend the Nike Brasilia 9.0  gymsack. It is big enough to hold all of your items with no problem while being lightweight and stylish.

5. Towel- A towel is used to dry yourself after a run. A towel can also prevent sweat from getting in your eye later on which is very unpleasant from experience. A towel that I recommend is the pack towel. It has different colors and designs and dries up quickly as well.

6. Drinks with electrolytes- I normally bring a gatorade before going on 5 mile runs this is because when you sweat you lose nutrients as a result you need to replenish your body and this is where energy drinks come in handy as your body regains its lost nutrients from sweat which in turn lowers the chance of injury and you work more efficiently.

Best Nintendo Switch Games To Try If You Haven't Already

 By Blanca Gonzalez Norio

Are you looking for a new game to try for your Nintendo Switch? Well, you’ve come to the right place. There are many, many, many great Nintendo Switch games to try. Some of the best ones are from Mario while others are new creations. It can take hours looking up games and their info to see if you’ll like it. Why not read one page of many different games? Wouldn’t you wanna know you'll enjoy playing a game without even trying it?

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

You start off on a deserted island and you need to make it a paradise so more islanders go. You can choose where you want the location of your home to be. You can eventually build things like a bridge or a fence. You also pick out the layout of the land. Even though I don’t personally own it, I tried the game and it was definitely fun to see the way you need to turn it in for more visitors.

Super Mario Odyssey

You start off with the most common plot of  Bowser and Mario facing each other. He kidnaps princess Peach and you must power a ship to get to her. You need the power moons from each kingdom to power your ship. Even after you finish the game, there is actually still a lot to do. This is a game that definitely won’t keep you bored if you try.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

This game is just like the original on the Wii U but there are new additions to it. There are new characters and you can hold two special items at a time.You can play with up to 4 players online. Under my experience, the game totally got better from the Wii U version to the Switch.  If you didn’t have the first version, this one will definitely knock it outta the park. 

Super Kirby Clash

In this game, you collect gem apples to increase your lives, help buy potions, and help buy weapons and armour. You start off as Kirby and you choose your role. You have to defeat the enemy to get more gem apples and rewards. These gem apples are grown on trees and you get them for free daily. 

Kirby Star Allies

In this game, Kirby has a mixed amount of abilities. Kirby must work with his allies to get through the puzzles. The Jamba Heart had been broken into multiple pieces and scattered all across the galaxy. From experience of playing with my friends, this is not a game that you would wanna miss.

Super Mario Bros 3D world + Bowser’s Fury

Here, Bowser has turned into an oily, abusive father by black acrylic paint. Bowser jr. needs Mario's help to turn him back. This has a plot sort of like Super Mario Odyssey. You need to collect Cat Shines the way you would collect power moons in Super Mario Odyssey. 

If  you're in search of a new game, these are totally some of the best options for you.
