Great Britian, UK - Huge stone monoliths resembling Stonehenge were discovered this week.
They are being called Superhenge and are 2.5
miles away from the popular tourist location, Stonehenge. There are around ninety stones placed in a
ring. Researchers are still unsure of how the stones
at both locations were placed and built.

It has a research focus, so
theres a lot of scholarships and
awards that are available. They
give grants for undergrad students
that you can apply for to fund your
research, Babcock explained.
Besides the opportunity to apply
for scholarships and grants, Beta

valuable services to Mines students.
Were going to have tutoring
for all biology classes, textbooks
students can use, and also test
banks of exam questions from
Dr. Ramey, asserts Babcock.

The ever popular Apple Music Festival, formerly named the iTunes Music Festival, returns
in its ninth year to London for ten nights of incredible shows on September 19th.
The festival has been renamed to match the
summer release of iTunes music streaming service, Apple Music. Each show can be streamed
live on Apple Music, as well as for some time
after each show and watched later through the
On Demand feature.
Special behind the scenes content will also be
available through Apple Musics social platform,
Connect, where artists and fans come together
to share music.
The lineup this year includes seasoned performers, such as Florence + The Machine, Disclosure, and The Chemical Brothers to headline
each night.
The lineup also showcases lesser-known artists who have received acclaim this past year, including James Bay, Leon Bridges, and Little Mix.
Even though each show is broadcasted live
online, both the artists and the audience members describe the vibe as intimate and breathtakingly beautiful.
Florence + The Machine describes, a feeling
of oneness, while Take That feels, That were
closer to our audience on gigs like this.
While it might seem counterintuitive to group
the dissimilar terms intimate with world-wide
exposure, the Apple Music Festival is able to
do just that. For the live audience, the historic
venue, The Roundhouse, definitely contributes
to the intimate vibe.
The Roundhouse is one of Englands most
spectacular music venues, known for its underground aesthetics and punk rock roots.
Originally used as a train storage and maintenance facility, this round house opened in 1847
and was a civil engineering marvel of the time. In
the 1960s the space was converted into an auditorium to be used for music performance and
theatrical presentations.
For those of us in the United States, actually attending the Apple Music Festival in person
may be just a dream; however, this festival is important for overseas music fans.
Given the prestige of performers and the social media exposure attributed to the event, this
event may be the first festival many of us are
able to attend, even if it is a virtual attendance.
The digital accessibility of this event provides
an ideal location for music fans living across the
world.

The three hour daily practices and weightlifting

schedule, how do these girlsand any student

At first its a shocker especially if you havent
been exposed to it. But our program implements
things for the freshmen so that they get on their
studies. Most people can get on it, but if not we help
them out, says Johnson-Hazlewood. Sophomore
Ellie Monarch agrees, Its a balancing act for sure.
We get used to it and learn time management.
As usual, the teams main rivals this year are
Metro State University and Regis University. Mines
students should be on the lookout for more home
games because, as Monarch says, Were always
looking for a good, strong fan base at the games.
Volleyball is fun and sometimes were a boring

people cheering in the crowd. Though volleyball
in and of itself is exciting to watch, this year they
will be implementing more enticing events into the
games.
This year were having a lot of prizes that were
giving out at the games and DJs and stuff like that
so hopefully we can get more fans to our games.
We love having loud crowds. The louder the fans,
the more amped we get on the court, JohnsonHazlewood attests.

Womens
soccer team
tested in first
weekend
After coming off of one of the most
successful seasons in CSM history,
the womens soccer team is looking
for players to step up into new roles
and continue their success.
I like to say it doesnt add any more
pressure, because every year is new.
We lost four seniors last year, which
may not seem like a lot, but they were
players that made big contributions,
Head Coach Kevin Fickes said. You
think to yourself no pressure, but now
we have expectations and it also put
a big target on our back.
These feelings were confirmed
after losing to Dallas Baptist in the
first game of the season 2-0.
Dallas came a long way since last
year, and when they won their whole
school was celebrating, and that is
what we will get this year and the girls
are doing well handling pressure,
Fickes said. They see us as a team
that will be a contender every year,
so we do not have the element of
surprise anymore. We come in and
play hard, and beating us would be a
big deal. We have earned that.
Senior Rachael Turner said
the team was disappointed after
losing the first game, but used it as
motivation to beat West Texas A&M
two days later.
We went into the weekend
expecting to do well and it did not
start off that way. I think that was
motivation the next day for us to
prove we are the same team as last
year, if not better, Turner said. I
think the first game we just needed
to work on a few things, and we did.
