Josh is a person who describes himself as ambitious, and it is not just saying it, but doing it, and Josh shows it, from Monday to Friday Josh gets up early to get to work at 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. In that 5-hour break, Josh does not rest, on the contrary, he arrives at Morningside University to study and prepare for his future, he is an English major with a minor in marketing, which shows that Josh is not only a hard worker, but he also has his goals very clear by studying and preparing for the future.

At the beginning of the year, Josh invested $3000, which is more than an ambitious decision, it’s a bit risky, but Josh’s ambition and intelligence led him to turn that $3000 into $10000.

Josh has a great future ahead of him, he is building it himself.

My sofa is designed for 4 people and is black, not a matte black, but rather a glossy black, it is in room 306 of Roadman North, it is leather, clearly, we are college students and the budget is not enough, it is imitation leather, we put it next to the heater, so my sofa is always warm, but never hot, always the perfect temperature.

My sofa has 4 legs that support it, one in each corner, they are silver with a black part. Underneath the sofa is a black fabric, which covers what is inside the sofa, no one wants to see what is inside, just enjoy the comfort it provides.

The sofa has vertical stripes and in the middle of these stripes, there are holes, in total, it has 6 stripes and 6 holes. My sofa does not have armrests or extra cushions. 

That’s not all, my sofa is amazing if you open it, it transforms into a sofa bed. I’d say it’s for one person, however, if two people are well accommodated, it fits two. When you open it up, not only you can find comfort but also bunches of cookie crumbs that my roommate leaves on the couch.

That’s my couch, very comfortable, not only gives a good taste to the room, but it also provides good moments to do homework or to watch a sports event.

Moon Pie! Chocolate on the outside and marshmallows in the center, it is round, completely covered with milk chocolate. I didn’t have the full-size experience; we are still talking about moon pie. I had a mini version of the moon pie, it didn’t blow me away, nothing that blew my mind.

I imagined eating it with a nice black coffee at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, a good snack, actually, a very American snack!

In the early morning of November 16, my workday was ending, but my day was not over at that moment, I go to my room and my girlfriend is waiting for me. I work at the Mustang Grill, at the end of work, we can choose a meal, which I chose wings, specifically buffalo and BBQ, and to that, I add a coke as a drink.

We sat down to eat and looked at each other, we both said, “We have to stop eating this kind of food”, we have a few extra pounds, so we both promised ourselves that this would be the last unhealthy meal for a long time, gym and choosing the right food in the cafeteria are the steps we said we had to follow. Today starts our way back to fitness, I hope to be able to announce in this blog in the near future that we did it.

1. America

Good evening and thank you for joining us. This is Diego Ocando on KMSC NEWS, We begin tonight with a tragic incident during a bird-hunting excursion that turned deadly. A young hunter lost his life after being shot in the face by a fellow member of his hunting party. Alexander Pena (Myself) on the ground has the details.

Thank you Diego It’s a somber scene here at the Bays Branch Wildlife Area in Iowa, where 26-year-old Seth Egelhoff from Illinois tragically lost his life earlier today. The incident occurred during a waterfowl hunting trip when a member of his hunting party accidentally shot him in the face. Authorities were quick to respond, arriving at the scene around 1 pm and rushed Egelhoff to a spot to be picked up by a medical helicopter. But the 26-year-old did not survive the journey and died en route. The law enforcement arm of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is now investigating his death.

2. Science

Now we revisit a pivotal moment in scientific history. Four centuries ago, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei faced persecution for proclaiming the truth – that the Earth is round. In a time when the heliocentric solar system was deemed heretical by the Catholic Church, Galileo’s observations through a telescope, revealing round planets and Earth’s rotation around the sun, led to his conviction for heresy in 1615.

Despite the controversy, Galileo’s assertions were eventually vindicated. Today, the science of geodesy confirms Earth’s rounded shape. NASA affirms that although our planet isn’t a perfect sphere due to forces like rotation, it is undeniably rounded.

3. Sports.

Megan Rapinoe tore her Achilles tendon in her final career match.

Rapinoe suffered the non-contact injury during an attempt to make a defensive play at the game, marking the end of her illustrious career.

The incident occurred in the sixth minute as OL Reign faced defeat against Gotham FC in the National Women’s Soccer League Championship. Despite the Reign’s efforts to level the score, they fell short, trailing 2-1 by the end of the match.

Her impact transcends sports, marked by advocacy for Black Lives Matter, coming out as a lesbian in 2012, and defending patriotism amid controversies. Now retired, Rapinoe leaves a legacy as a complex and outspoken advocate.

“As cool as the other side of the pillow”

Like that was the speech of Stuart Scott, winner of the ESPYS, Longtime ESPN anchor and sports commentator Stuart Scott was awarded the Jimmy V Award at the 2014 ESPY Awards. For the passion and determination he has displayed in the face of ongoing personal challenges.

Scott’s broadcasting career started early as on-air talent at the student-run radio station at the University of North Carolina. After graduating, he went right into reporting for various local TV stations in both South Carolina and North Carolina. Scott joined ESPN in 1993 for the launch of ESPN2 and his role at the company has consistently grown over the years as he developed into one of the iconic voices of SportsCenter. 

Scott’s successful career was forced to take a back seat when he was first diagnosed with appendiceal cancer in November of 2007. 

Scott started his speech with yo man, I saw you at the ESPYs with Peyton Manning, Money Mayweather and KD” and I’m gonna be like “yeah, whatever”. Jack Bauer saved the world and he introduced me…

Scott expressed his gratitude for being honored and shares his journey of battling cancer. He emphasizes the importance of not giving up, drawing inspiration from Jim Valvano’s iconic words, “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.” 

The central theme of the speech revolves around living and fighting with determination and resilience while battling cancer. Scott highlights the support and love he receives from family, friends, and his daughters as essential in this fight. The speech encourages living life to the fullest, even in the face of adversity. ”You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.” Said Scott.

Scott ended the speech by thanking ESPN. ESPYs and wishing people a great rest of their life.

“WHEN YOU DIE, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU LOSE TO CANCER.” – STUART SCOTT.

South Africans are rejoicing in their country’s second consecutive World Cup victory, which has produced racial togetherness that even Hollywood couldn’t create and provided an escape from the country’s problems.

The towering hall thundered with the euphoria of a nation where everyone seemed, for the moment, to have left their differences behind.

The celebrants spoke Zulu, Sotho, Tswana, Afrikaans and English. They were Black and white, young and old, mining company managers and restaurant waitresses.

They sang and danced together to songs blasting from speakers. They waved South African flags. They wore the same green-and-gold attire of their rugby heroes as they gathered at the Oliver Reginald Tambo airport in Johannesburg on Tuesday to welcome the team home from the championship game in France. A bronze statue of Tambo with a hand aloft stood among the jubilation, as if bestowing his blessing upon a scene made possible by the work he did to topple apartheid.

South Africa became the winningest country in the Rugby World Cup’s relatively brief history last week, claiming its second consecutive crown and fourth overall. This nation of 60 million has been going wild ever since.

“Unity,” is how Maureen Mampuru, 43 and Black, described the impact of the victory for the country — a description echoed by Martin Peens, 60 and white; Jacqui Vermaak, 56 and white; Happy Mthethwa, 40 and Black; Michelle Volny, 43 and white; and Gloria Leshilo, 34 and Black.

The 2009 Hollywood blockbuster “Invictus” told the story of South Africa’s first victory in the Rugby World Cup in 1995, just a year removed from the start of democracy, and how it unified a racially divided nation. Back then, I chalked up all the lump-throated racial harmony the movie portrayed to Hollywood romanticism. I thought there was no way that a rugby victory could have had a real impact on the racial divide in a country fresh out of decades of legalized racism.

But I’ve now lived in South Africa for the past two years and experienced the thrill of watching the Springboks, as the team is called, win a world championship while cheering along with the country’s rugby-obsessed population.

The harmony that World Cup success produces, I can report, is no exaggeration.

The first thing I would like to highlight is although the report is in The New York Times, the reporter, John Eligon, was reporting from Johannesburg, South Africa, which gives you a closer approach to the story. He put together different dialects that are spoken in the country and used it as a demonstration of the union that gave the championship. The passage tells a story, beginning with the celebration at the airport and then providing background information about South Africa’s rugby history and the impact of previous victories

The writer incorporates their own perspective and experiences, which adds a personal touch to the narrative and makes it relatable. The article includes quotes from individuals from different backgrounds, sharing their views on the impact of the victory.

The earth is rounded!

400 years ago, Italian astronomer, physicist, and scientist Galileo Galilei went to jail for telling the truth, the earth is rounded!

Today virtually every child grows up learning that the earth orbits the sun, but four centuries ago, the idea of a heliocentric solar system was so controversial that the Catholic Church classified it as a heresy and warned the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei to abandon it.

Galileo observed by telescope that the planets were round a finding that was still considered new and controversial at the time despite the previous circumnavigation of our globe. Galileo also hypothesized that the Earth rotated around the sun a view that went beyond controversy but was considered blasphemy by the Roman Catholic Church, as it explicitly contradicted the Holy Scriptures. Galileo was tried by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, convicted of heresy, and was forced to recant his views, and placed under house arrest for the remainder of his life.

Today, scientists use geodesy, which is the science of measuring Earth’s shape, gravity, and rotation. Geodesy provides accurate measurements that show Earth is round. The National Geodetic Survey measures and monitors our ever-changing planet. 

Galileo was right, NASA has stated even though our planet is a sphere, it is not a perfect sphere. Because of the force caused when Earth rotates, the North and South Poles are slightly flat. Earth’s rotation, wobbly motion, and other forces are making the planet change shape very slowly, but it is still round.
