The writer of this article does sports at the mall, specifically mall walking, today I had a work commitment and could not go in the morning which is the time I usually go.  But my story falls short next to that of Isabel Ter Weeme, an employee of one of the stores in the food center of Mega City Mall.

Her story starts at 6:30 in the morning when she gets up to go to her job which is 1 hour away from her home, Isabel starts her morning by eating and taking a shower, her showers are usually short, so she must leave at 7 to get to work early, today for her good fortune, she stayed in the shower longer than usual, singing Taylor Swift songs!

Isabel said, “I stayed in the shower for 40 minutes, I didn’t notice the time and I was late to get to work, when I arrived, I found the mall was closed and my co-workers were in the hospital, Taylor Swift saved my life”

Looking to refresh your style? Then check out the haircut that will be trending this year 2024. Get ready for a definite makeover!

As the year approaches a conclusion, you might find yourself considering a style change. A new haircut is one of the most exciting ways to change your appearance for the upcoming year. There are other methods to improve yourself as well. The internet was flourishing in 2023 with the Mullet, an elaborate hairstyle similar to a Mohawk.

This year we will see a hairstyle similar to the mullet but with other nuances.

We won’t make you wait any longer, Shag Hairstyle is the hairstyle of 2024!

The Shag is a creative haircut that leaves your hair looking deliberately tousled, messy, and edgy

Shag haircuts initially gained popularity in the 1970s, when rock stars and other prominent figures in Hollywood adopted them. It quickly gained popularity among women as well, and by the early 1980s, the trend had finally died out.

Today, this well-loved hairstyle is favored by skaters, surfers, and guys who want a fashionable hairstyle that will take them from work to drinks with friends, to parties, and everything in between.

Jacob Elordi has come over all high fashion with his shaggy hairstyle.

Jacob Elordi has become quite the style icon for Gen Z recently, and this tousled, messy hairstyle with thick fringe also has the kind of slightly mullet-esque vibe that’s going to win him even more fans.

But the Shag Hairstyle also goes with Curly hair!

Curly hair is a great method to showcase your natural curls and looks great with a men’s shag haircut. It’s totally up to you whether you want facial hair or not, this specific style looks excellent either way!

The greatest technique to style shaggy hair for men who want a stylish, low-maintenance look is to apply a light-hold styling product to add texture and then let your hair fall naturally. If you want a textured, natural look that highlights style, you can also use wax, clay, or a strong matte pomade. Guys can choose from a wide variety of shaggy hairstyles, such as sweeping their bangs to the side, using a blow dryer to comb their hair back, or brushing their hair forward to hide their forehead.

“I got the shag haircut” said Enzo Tagliati, a Morningside University Student from Sweden. It has kept me glued to Instagram for months. My girlfriend even warned me against the shag by saying, “Ugh,” whenever I waved screenshots of what I wanted in front of his face. However, in the end, it was so, so worth it. My one regret? I didn’t do it sooner. PT: She loved it.

Jon Coronado, owner of a barbershop in Sioux City, Iowa, says he’s been asked at least 50 times to get this haircut. “People walk by my barbershop and show me this photo over and over again, I’ve even posted 3 photos related to this haircut, so people come in, sit in the chair, and point out the haircut. Then they trust me even more to do the haircut.”

As Coronado explained, “This cut is even easier for guys with wavy hair because the layers will allow you to lean into your texture, which seems to have a mind of its own, I’m sure a lot of guys will be sporting this style next year”

I was so nervous that I wouldn’t like how the layered, retro hairstyle looks with my straight hair, but I loved the results, “Shags are such a great style if you want low maintenance and easy,” The fun part about this cut is that you can style it differently or leave it to dry on its own, this cut works great on every face shape and hair type and adds a more youthful appearance. – Guillermo Roman, a Morningside Student from Ecuador, who recently had this haircut.

And here is our top proposal for this 2024 in men’s haircuts. What do you think? Have you found inspiration? Do you have questions about any haircut and/or style? Leave a comment!

At seven this morning, Homer, our sixteen-year-old polar bear, was discovered unconscious and later declared deceased.

The other two bears, Yukon and McKenzie, who are nine and ten years old, were taken out of the exhibit and are under the care of veterinary professionals.

“We will do everything in our power to determine how this bear died,” said Chris P. Bacon, director of the Zoo.  “Animal welfare and the preservation of species are our primary goals here at the zoo.”

Since 1985, polar bears have thrived at the zoo. The bears can grow in their natural habitat at our special sanctuary, where they can play in artificial snow, dress in gravel, and hunt trout in the cool pool. As representatives of their wild cousins, the bears inform zoo guests about these endangered species.

The cause of death will be attempted to be determined through a necropsy, but the results won’t be known for a few weeks.

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.

Note: Interviews are not included, all 3 will have interviews
