                                      How To Moonwalk

Text Box: For many years people wanted to know how to do the moonwalk (including myself). The moonwalk, also known as the backslide, has been around for many generations. Michael Jackson wasn’t the first person to do the moonwalk, but Marcel Marceau (he was a mime) was. Although Michael Jackson was the first person to make it famous. The moonwalk is an illusion that makes it look like the dancer is trying to walk forward but is actually moving backwards.  

 

What you might need:

·        A smooth surface (lots of room) 

·        Sneakers or socks

·        Comfortable pants/shorts

 

Tips:

·        Try it with your socks first, until you get the hang of it, then try it with sneakers.

 

Step 1: Stand straight. 

Step 2: Lift the heel of your left foot up.

Step 3: Push your right foot backward without lifting it off the floor. (Do not push your right foot back that much, you should put it back however you feel comfortable.)

Step 4: Now put down your left heel and then put your right heel up, then slide your left foot backwards, flat on the floor.

Step 5: Repeat from step two, and keep doing it over and over again.

 

Additional Facts:

 

When Michael Jackson made the moonwalk famous in 1983, he did not like the way it looked, but obviously the public did. He made many people want to do the moonwalk.

How Can I Save Money?

When you have a lot of money is it very tempting to spend it. So you go in a store and your friend buys a drink. It looks good, you have money, so you buy it. In order to save money you have to ignore those temptations. However, don’t get blinded by money and become greedy. Keep reading to get some helpful steps for saving money.

 

Keeping Track of Your Money

If you keep track of how much money you spend each week you can get helpful advice on how to save more money than you spend. You first have to figure out what you buy and how much that is in a week. Here’s some advice on what to do:

Tips

1.      Don’t spend money unless you think that you really have to.

 

2.      Don’t lend out money to people that you know won’t pay back.

 

3.      If you do lend out money, charge interest.

 

4.       Keep a jug or piggy bank for loose change.

Cautions

1.   When lending money don’t lend too much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
Make an easy-to-make-list that is simple and easy to

read, like this:

Food

(including junk food):    $____

Clothing:                       $____           

Entertainment

(games, movies, etc.):   $____

Phone Bill:                    $____

Gifts:                            $____

School Supplies

(books, pencils, etc.):    $____

Donations:                    $____

Loans:                          $____

Total:                            $____

Now, take how much you spend in a week and

multiply that by four to find how much money

you spend in a month.

 

Bank Accounts

So you wanna save money? Having a bank account is a good start. However, you have to be over the age of 18 to have one. Well, all you have to do is get a parent to open one for you. So now that you have your own bank account you should start putting money into it every month. You would also be getting interest from the bank and it will start adding up. Although, it depends how much money you have in your account and what bank your money is in. By next year you’ll be swimmin in cash.
 

 

Flapping Bird

Manuel Coraizaca

Things you will need

A square paper that’s 8 ½ inches by 8 ½ inches

A pair of scissors

And something heavy to make crease marks if you don’t have fingernails

 

Step one: fold the paper diagonally so that the upper right hand corner touches the bottom left hand corner crease down well. If done correctly there should be a line from the upper left to the bottom right; repeat on other side.

 

Step two: fold the square diagonally take one of the flaps and fold it down so one of the triangles sides lines up with the bottom side crease well.  Now repeat this step on the side you did not use. Turn paper around; repeat.

 

Step three: unfold, and then fold the paper diagonally the other way. Repeat step two.

 

Step four: this step is where most people get it wrong; you will need to follow the diagram very carefully.                            

                                

 

Note: this is how the bird would look if you folded it down completely. Do not do this, do step 4.1 during mid fold.

 

Step four point one: repeat this step on all of the remaining four sides*.

 

Step five: take one wing and fold it down at the center; repeat on the other side.

Step six: fold the bird in half so you turn the sides inside, outside.

 

Step seven: take one of the bird’s parts that looks like a leg and sink it down into the bird until the side of the leg, lines up with the wing’s side; repeat on other leg.

 

Step eight: fold the tip of the one of the legs out so it makes a head and fold the wings back up.

Step nine: you are done.

 

For Fun: take the bird’s tail lightly and pull; the wings should bend down; pull a few more times or until the paper is folded in the shape of the movement. Then you can pull as fast as you want.

Warning: this bird is very breakable and will break if you pull too hard.

 

*These two folds are done simultaneously.

ow to Hack your PSPText Box: Gamers' Memo Are you a video gamer that is bored of your PSP not being able to do anything else besides play games, watch videos, look at pictures, and listen to music? Well there is a solution, you can hack your PSP. Yes, it’s true. You can do things such as put a computer inside your PSP, or if you want the iphone, and much more. Text Box: Warnings I warn you that some things can mess up your PSP, but you can fix it if you make a Pandora Battery and Memory Stick (I will explain later on) before your PSP messed up. Not everything can mess up your PSP, but there are probably two things: The battery I told you before can upgrade, downgrade and fix your PSP, but when you upgrade or downgrade that can mess it up but it doesn’t happen that often unless you did a lot of things to your PSP. When you upgrade your PSP with Sony’s firmware that can make the PSP’s screen go black which is called brick. But like I said before you can fix it with the Pandora battery and memory stick but this process is very difficult that even I can't explain it for you so if you really want to see how to make it go to this video on Youtube. Look up Pandora Battery and Memory Stick, they will say that you need a PSP with custom firmware or 1.50 firmware, an extra memory stick and battery. Text Box: Materials · PSP · Memory Stick Pro Duo 1or above GBs · Computer (Windows or Mac) Ÿ Optional: additional memory stick and battery.

By: Neftali Vargas

Text Box: Firmware The firmware helps your PSP do the things you want to do when you hack it. There are two different types of firmware. (Normal firmware which Sony gives you and custom which people create for you to hack your PSP.) The most known firmware type is the M33. Note: If trying to install a custom firmware you will need the original Sony version of the firmware. (Ex. If you want 3.70 M33 you need Sony’s 3.70.) Getting PSP’s Firmware First you must go to a website that has the firmware. For Sony’s firmware; type this on the address bar; http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/36 (include the hyphen) For the custom firmware; type this on the address bar; http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/39 (include the hyphen) Then when you are at the website click on one of the blue writing that say 3.0 or 3.9 M33. ( Not these firmwares specifically.) Download them somewhere where you can find them on the computer. Extract the file downloaded by right clicking and then click on extract.

Text Box: Poppin the firmware · When you have finished downloading you have to take your PSP and the USB cable and connect them so that your PSP is in USB mode. · Then once you open your PSP’s folder in my computer (Its usually called removable disk) · You should have a folder called PSP. If not make one by right clicking, go to new and click folder. · Next, go inside the folder and go inside the Game folder if not make one. Finally make a folder called UPDATE and put the firmware in it. If you are doing a custom upgrade then name the Sony firmware whatever the number is and put it in the Update folder along with the custom firmware. (Ex. Sony’s 3.90 you rename it 390.) Poppin it on PSP Ÿ When you are done disconnect the PSP from the computer and go to the game part of your PSP. Go to the memory and press X. Ÿ Then look for the firmware you put on the PSP.( Example: you want 3.90 or 3.90 M33 look for it and press X.) After that just follow the instructions on your PSP and you’ll be done. Text Box: Game Loaders Once you have finished hacking it you can put video game consoles into your PSP. No, not take apart the video game console and put in the PSP. Just how you put the firmware in the PSP you do almost the same exact thing. If you need to know where to get the game console for PSP which are called emulators here it is; http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/20 Games Woohoo!!! · When you get the emulator you do the same thing as upgrading the PSP except for the update folder part. Instead you just download the emulator from the website, right click on the emulator you downloaded and look for extract files. · Once done, you should have one or two folders. Take the two folders and put it in the Game folder. · Then you have to look for games. So if you want games for your emulator look for ROMs on Google, but put the name of the emulator such as GBA ROMs or SNES ROMs. · Once you have it go to the memory of PSP and make a folder called ROMs and put the game you got and put the game in the folder. · Go on your PSP, go to games on memory and start the emulator and start. Also follow what it says on the screen.

 

Text Box: Where You At?? · Okay, this is probably one of the easiest things to do on your PSP that you don't need anything, but the internet icon on the PSP. So first you have to decide which one you want or you can have both of them. · For Windows type; http://dl.qj.net/pspWxp-v3.5-PSP-Tools-Utilities-(on-PC)/pg/12/fid/9997/catid/193 · For iphone type: http://ipsp.fluidmarkup.com/ (You need to enable flash on PSP which is on system settings on PSP and no its not a touch screen OKAY) · Sorry they are upgrading Mac version now. Text Box: Almost ........... DONE!! 1. If you want to put the windows computer on PSP, you simply open the PSP's memory on the computer, then you go to the website I gave you and download the file which is an orange button, which has the word download in it. 2. Then like before extract it by right clicking and then click on extract. Put the pspwxp folder in the PSP’s root which means just drag it into the PSP even if you didn't open it. If you did, drag the folder into the PSP so it can be where the folder PSP is. (Not in the PSP's spot but in the same area as it.) 3. When you do that disconnect the PSP from the computer and go to internet icon. Once you are there go to the browser, go to file, then address entry, and type; file:/pspwxp/index.htm Then your done for windows. 1. For iphone the same thing but when you go to the website click on Manual install. 2. When your done downloading; extract it then put psptunes into the root too, but for ipsp put that in the common folder which is inside the PSP folder of the root. If not make one and then put ipsp in it. 3. Then go to the browser on your PSP and write; file:/PSP/COMMON/ipsp/index.html

How To Get Out of Being Grounded

 

Don’t you just hate getting in trouble? ‘Specially if you didn’t do it, but that is in the category of little siblings and that is not what you are reading this for. You are reading this to find out how to get out of being grounded.

 

 

1.               The Offense

 

      What’d you do this time? Stay out too late? Forget to pick up your brother or sister? Break the window while playing ball in the house. What ever you did, your parents are tight about it. Knowing the seriousness of your offense can help you determine how serious you need to take this article.

      There are ranges of offenses. The simplest would be rolling your eyes or sucking your teeth. The worst would be disobeying a serious order (“Be back by 10 Billy.”) or using drugs. That would be my smallest and worst as a future parent, plus the things in between.

 

 

        2. Sentencing

      So, you got grounded, eh? Good, now this article can actually help you. How long you in for? A week, two, a month? The longer the sentence the more likely you are to get out early.

 

 

 

 

 

 

                  3. Anger

You’re probably waitin’ for me to get you out right. Well it aint happenin’. You have to get yourself out, I’m just a guide. Before you can get out your parent’s anger has to die down. You can speed up this process by doing what you’re told and respecting your time, which means no hanging out after school (you can hang out later).

 

 

 

 

                  4. Freedom

After your parent’s anger seems to die down – you can usually tell by the tone of their voice. It become less annoyed and angry and more relaxed and regular – carefully ask to watch T.V. If your parent says yes then you’re in the clear. (If your parent says no, then go back to Step 3 and do it again. If that doesn’t work, stop reading the article before you waste even more time that you will never get back.) Enjoy this small victory A LITTLE. Then after about a week of T.V. watching casually ask another simple thing like getting pizza after school with your friends. If your parent says yes then you’re free!

 

 

Nativity Students Only: This will not work for Academic Detention or J.U.G.
 
Text Box: Tips: While you’re grounded you can catch up on homework; get extra credit in class and a dozen other things. You have a lot of extra time when you can’t do much.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOW TO MAKE A SODA BMB

By: Gabriel Cruz

 

Text Box: If you are bored and are outside with nothing to do on a hot summer day, you can run to the corner store and make a soda bomb. Not only is it fun, but also kind of educational the way the chemicals of the soda, react with the chemicals of the mentos, to make pressure that builds up and explode (but I know that’s not what you’re going to pay attention to so lets skip to the fun part).

Text Box: WHAT YOU WILL NEED: A bottle filled with coke (duh) A pack of mentos And a bottle cap  

 

 

 

 

 

 


                                               

STEPS:

Step 1: Find a nice open space.

Text Box: Step 2: Take the bottle cap off the bottle.

Step 3: Open the pack of mentos and put them ALL in the bottle.

Step 4: Close the bottle quickly (if you don’t do it quickly this is what its going to look likeà

 

 

Step 5: Shake the bottle.

Step 6: When you feel the pressure building up inside the bottle give it few more good shakes then throw it (either underhand or overhand your choice).

Step 7: Run.

Step 8: Watch it explode.

Text Box:

 

Warning:

DON’T STAND TOO CLOSE (YOU DON’T WANT TO BE COVERED IN COKE)

AND BECAREFUL THE CAP DOESN’T FLY TOWARDS YOU.
 

TIPS:

If you want a really big explosion put 2 packs of mentos into the bottle. 

 
ßThis is what the bottle will look like when you are done so have fun.

These drink tastes like you’re drinking a nice cold smoothie. It’s a very special drink to many people. It is apart of their culture and it is very important to them. In Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic, they also make it with grapefruits. The name means to die dreaming for. People make it with guanábana, another tropical fruits. Spanish countries have been making Morir Soñando for many many years.

Tips and Warnings

Warning, please don’t add random things into the drink because I am not responsible for any accidents or sickness you retrieve. 

 

Tip, it is better that you make the drink with a parent or guardian because then if you make a mess you are going to be the one to clean it up.
 
 


What do you need?

Tropicana Orange Juice ($2.50)

Carnation Milk ($1.79)

Vanilla ($1.29)

Pitcher

Spoon

What do you do? (Steps)

Step 1: Pour about half a gallon of the Tropicana Orange Juice into the pitcher

Step 2: Pour the whole can of carnation milk into the pitcher and mix with the spoon.

Step 3: Put a couple of drops of vanilla into the pitcher. I would say about 2 teaspoons.

Step 4: Put ice into the pitcher to make the drink colder. Also it makes the drink taste better.

Step 5: I would ask to put a little bit of sugar, not a lot because it is already sweet but u can put as much sugar as u like. I would say top put about 5 teaspoons. And mix with the spoon again.

WHAT THE HOT CHOCOLATE?

 

Hot chocolate is one of the most delicious drinks ever made for kids and adults. Even emperors like Montezuma (an Aztec emperor) drank it 50 times a day in a golden goblet. If you want to learn how to make a hot chocolate or even how to enhance your hot chocolate makings skills—you’re reading the right paper.

Tips

 

  • [Microwave] Some hot chocolates come with a separate bag of marshmallows, put in the cup at the last 30 seconds.

 

  • If you want to make your delicious hot chocolate even better, you can do one simple thing. Add some whipped cream!!! You can also add some nutmeg or cinnamon.

HOW IS IT DONE?

{Microwave}

  1. You need to gather up all the proper “equipment” for this fun journey (except pot).

  5. Put the mug in the microwave (make sure there’s no metal!!!!).
  6. Set the microwave time to 30 seconds and then take it out and stir with a spoon.

  7. When stirring, try not to spill… You probably don’t want the pants-of-the-house to get on your back and give you hour-long lectures while your fantastically made hot chocolate turns to cold.

     
     
    Repeat 4 times.

 

{By pot}

 

  1. Take a pot and put it on the stove.
  2. Take about a cup and a half of milk or water (your choice) and pour it in the pot.

  4. Put the hot chocolate powder in the mug.
  5. Also pour the hot water or milk into the mug.
  6. Take a spoon and stir, stir, stir.
