After discussing the history and the present of friend-foe relationship between the U.S. and China in the last issue, what is next? The future. This is about whether the U.S. will stay in power and China will rise to the international number one despite all deterrence. Building my argument upon the article “U.S.-China Relation Part 2” published in the last issue, this piece will focus on my prediction of domestic and international economy of the two countries and refer them to the response from the international community.

This was inspired by a short rant to a friend on basic macroeconomic theory and monetary policy, as well as a National Public Radio (NPR) “young voter” interview.

Google unveiled a new "hum to search" feature on this Thursday that allows users to pinpoint songs simply by humming part of a track. Google notes that in a press release, individuals do not need to worry about their musical skills, "you do not need perfect pitch to use this feature." The new search capability is available on the Google app and mobile devices as well as the Google Search widget. When using the widget, people will first need to tap the small microphone icon and prompt the feature by either clicking the button labeled "search a song" or saying "what's this song?" Next, the person will need to proceed to hum part of the song.

Ever heard of “The fastest game of musical chair?"

This is how one would describe the 2020 season of MotoGP, the premier class motorcycle racing championship. If you are not yet introduced to this incredibly competitive sport, I’d suggest getting familiar with this.

I have been building and playing with LEGO since I was a tiny little toddler and watching them grow and put out new collections has been so much fun! One of my absolute favorite series from LEGO is the Architecture series. The sets in the series range from skylines, to famous structures, to blank kits to design and build your own LEGO structures.

The 2020 Election Day is in less than one month. Despite the moment struggling with the pandemic, voters, please treasure your rights to vote for the next leader of the United States.

Have you ever wondered how we are spending our weeks in this new age of rat race? The concept of weekends seems to have vanished or may I say banished from many of our lives. There is nothing wrong with working hard but working too much sounds a little concerning to me. Our brains have no time to relax as we are constantly worrying about our careers. But is it that big of a deal that our generation is giving away every ounce of our time on this earth to think and work towards this one thing, a “career?”

Orlando Cardenas-Juan would rather get hit by a paintball than a baseball pitch, and he would know; the former Illinois Institute of Technology baseball player and alumnus was the victim of a paintball shooting from a silver sedan on September 27, 2020. Cardenas-Juan graduated with a bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering in the spring of 2020 and was shot by paintballs on campus while travelling from his Bridgeport apartment to visit a friend on Michigan Avenue.
