On March 20, the theatre program performed their UIL One Act play Frankenstein. “I could barely believe what I heard after [it was] announced that we were advancing,” freshman Zack Williams said. “It was crazy. Being one of the only freshmen in the show and also [being] a lead definitely put pressure on my shoulders. I knew that the only thing I could do was my best, but that was until I started to think what if my best was not enough? I was feeling like I could never amount to being what [everyone else] thought I was. Although, after hearing that announcement, I realized that maybe I have something going for me after all.” Photo courtesy of Cayden Bartolo

Holding up a visual representation of the solar system, Baylor Astronomy Professor and department head Dr. Barbara Endl, PHD. gives a presentation on the solar eclipse during DEN on March 22. Endl explained the proper safety precautions to take on April 8 when the solar eclipse passes through Williamson County. “Make sure you have the proper protection for the eyes,” Endl said. “In terms of other safety measures, if you are going to go somewhere, be prepared. For example, pack water and snacks. The travel on the way back can be very complicated because everybody goes at the same time, when the sun is out of the eclipse, everyone leaves at the same time, so there have been lots of traffic jams in the past.”

Her purple planter built for her mom earned herself a blue ribbon. “I think it was really fun to learn how to paint,” Foster said. “We used spray paint primer and then two coats of paint and I thought that was really fun. We had to clean the entire thing. We had to wire wheel it and there was still splatter after and I spent like 3 hours cleaning. I had to put a hazmat suit on with a respirator. I absolutely loved it. I feel like Im in Monsters Inc right now. All the projects were all black and the only way you could see mine was because it was purple.”

Smiling at the camera with paddles in hand, my siblings and I pose for a picture at the end of the school’s pickleball club. Pickleball is a wonderful sport simply because it is just fun. It is so satisfying to hit a ball right where you intended it to go, to work with your teammate to win against your opponent and to master a skill you’ve worked so hard to perfect. I know that if you give pickleball a shot, you can experience these things too, and you’ll soon find yourself obsessed.

Is Youtube TV worth it?

YouTube TV can be accessed on an array of devices without having to pay for a separate account.

As media and entertainment become increasingly digitized, so is the demand for efficiency. That’s where fully digital products such as Youtube TV come in and fully dominate the tv market. YouTube, the flagship site for publishing homemade videos for the world to see, decided to enter the live television market on Feb. 28, 2017. For the past seven years, it has grown substantially in popularity. I have used it for almost a year, and I think that the hype is justified, and no, this is not a sponsored ad (sadly).

 

Accessibility and Efficiency

One of the biggest hassles when it comes to setting up a new TV provider is the actual setup. Obviously, YouTube TV is not a cable-based platform; most recently-produced televisions have it as an app on its built-in store. For example, my family uses Apple TV to access our streaming apps, and that’s how we found YouTube TV. All that is needed to create an account (besides paying for your plan), is to have a preexisting Youtube/Google account. You will use these credentials to sign in and out of your YouTube TV account. Additionally, you can watch YouTube TV on any device you own, as well as being able to add up to five additional family members at no additional cost. 

YouTube TV also functions purely on a stable internet connection, with no satellite needed. So again, very little hassle involved.

Pricing

YouTube TV’s base plan is $72.99 per month, with new members enjoying a lowered price of $62.99 through the first three months. While this may sound a bit pricey, remember how much the product offers in terms of where and when you can watch your favorite shows, as well as being able to have multiple devices and multiple users using one account at the exact same time. There are also add-ons such as the 4k package, sports plus, entertainment plus and Max, etc. So for a very limited extra cost, you’re able to fully customize your experience while using this service. Compare that to DirecTV Stream’s base plan, which goes for $80 annually, you will get quite a bargain for a product that has much more to offer.

 

Con (there’s only one)

You have to own a smart device/tv in order to access this service. While this may not seem that much of an issue to you and me, not everyone has the ability to possess such devices. Basically, you need to have a stable financial situation figured out before even thinking about purchasing a subscription.

 

In conclusion, I think that Youtube TV is an excellent product. There are definitely more factors to consider as to whether or not you personally should make such a purchase, but I think that I covered all of the key points. If you have any other questions or concerns, you can visit the Youtube TV website.
