Young Thug defies categorization and is a true iconoclast. Emerging on Atlanta’s hip hop scene with his 2011 mixtape series, he launched into the mainstream with his knack for melodicism and unique vocal style. Thug’s highly anticipated new album So Much Fun was released earlier this fall. Thug was awarded with a 2019 Grammy for his work and songwriting on Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” – named Song of the Year. He recently earned his highest chart placement on the Billboard Hot 100 with his latest single “The London” ft. J. Cole & Travis Scott and produced by T-Minus. “The London” also earned a spot on Spotify’s 2019 Summer Song Predictions list. Thug was recently featured on Ed Sheeran’s song “Feels” on Sheeran’s collaboration album, No.6 Collaborations Project, as well as Post Malone’s new single “Goodbyes” and on Lil Nas X’s new remix of “Old Town Road (Remix)”. In addition to his music, Young Thug recently launched his fashion brand SPIDER which premiered during Wireless week in London earlier this year. Young Thug is currently on ‘The Justin Bieber Big’ Tour across North America with chart-topping rapper Machine Gun Kelly. The tour kicked off Monday, September 30th, in Toronto, CA and wraps on November 18th in Los Angeles, CA. To check out tour dates click HERE.

Research worth ‘bragging’ about

An MU psychology professor and students provide a possible way to improve dialogue in relationships

On a first date, people focus on making a good first impression. But when someone brags about themselves constantly, that person is often exhibiting some level of arrogance.

Throughout history, cultures and academia have described arrogance in different ways, such as ancient mythology when King Xerxes’ fleet was ruined by his overconfident assessment of his force compared to the Greeks. Now, a team of psychology researchers at the University of Missouri is providing one of the first comprehensive literature reviews on arrogance, as well as a way to classify the condition on different levels across a spectrum, similarly to how autism is diagnosed. Nelson Cowan, a Curators Distinguished Professor of Psychological Sciences in the MU College of Arts and Science, organized a team of graduate students and two postdoctoral fellows to complete this project, something he had been working on for his entire career.

“We were surprised at the limited amount of modern research we found on arrogance,” Cowan said of the group’s findings. “Furthermore, we found it didn’t all come from one specific area. So we created a one-stop resource to inspire further research, including, but not limited to, possible medical diagnoses of personality disorders.”

The team acknowledges everyone seems to have some degree of arrogance, so in addition to the literature review, the researchers suggest a way to classify the different levels of arrogance a person could exhibit. The team devised a system that identifies three types of arrogance:

Individual arrogance — an inflated opinion of one’s own abilities, traits or accomplishments compared to the truth.
Comparative arrogance — an inflated ranking of one’s own abilities, traits or accomplishments compared to other people.
Antagonistic arrogance — the denigration of others based on an assumption of superiority.

The three levels provide a foundation for how arrogance could be described in the future.

“Our system cannot offer a complete scientific understanding, rather it is intended to provide an analytical perspective on arrogance to help guide future psychological research,” Cowan said. “It could be applied to all types of relationships, such as interpersonal relationships, or even dialogues between nations and political groups.”

The review, “Foundations of arrogance: a broad survey and framework for research,” was published in the Review of General Psychology. Other authors include Eryn J. Adams, Sabrina Bhangal, Mike Corcoran, Reed Decker, Ciera E. Dockter, Abby T. Eubank, Courtney L. Gann, Nathaniel R. Greene, Ashley C. Helle, Namyeon Lee, Anh T. Nguyen, Kyle R. Ripley, John E. Scofield, Melissa A. Tapia, Katie L. Threlkeld and Ashley L. Watts. Funding was provided by a NIAAA grant (T32AA013526).

What You Need To Know About Ivy League Haircut

Leave a reply

Perhaps, if you are reading on this page, you wanted to know more about ivy league haircut, and possibly learn how you can wear it. Well, this guide will help you know more about this phenomenal men’s hairstyle and how to rock it.

To start, this haircut originated from the United States. Since then, the haircut has become common among men, and everyone wants to try it out. Here’s is all you need to understand about the ivy league haircut.

What Is The Ivy League Haircut?

This haircut resembles the crew cut, but it has enough length on the crown that allows you to part the hair to the sides. As its name suggests, it is very easy for anyone to guess that it originated from Harvard. Think about any American movie cast on campus, and you will know you have seen it. Fundamentally, this haircut is rocked as a slightly extended and smarter version of its cousin short crew haircut.

What Is The Right Length Of Hair For The Ivy League Hairstyle?

Just like the crew cut, the Ivy League hairstyle is a short haircut, but it is styled with subtly longer length on the top and also with slightly longer length on the back and the sides. You will need around 1.6-2 inches of hair on the front, and graduated shorter towards the crown.

You need the hair on the sides to be somewhere between two inches and five inches and include a taper for a classic Ivy League cut. Choose anything short and faded, and you will rock one of the modern modification of a crew cut.

How to Tell Your Barber to Style the Ivy League Hairstyle for You.

As we always say, the names of different haircuts don’t have a lot of meaning nowadays. All you need to do is take a picture of the ivy league haircut you need and take it to your barber. It is recommended to choose variations of them so that the hairdresser can look at them and choose the best one for you.

Regardless of whatever Ivy League cut variation you choose, tell your barber to include texture to your entire style. This gives your hair messier and textured appearance and makes it pretty easier to style at home.

Products to Use to Style Your Ivy League Hairstyle.

One thing we love about ivy league haircut is its ease of styling and also maintaining. By styling your hair too short and also textured, it takes you little time to get your hair in place. You may choose matte clay or any other texturizing hair product to achieve the needed texture and hold.

After applying the product, sweep your hair to either side for a classic haircut. You can achieve this using a comb for a beautiful look. You may as well use your fingers if you want to maintain the textured, messy look. You may also opt for a side part, which is a traditional way to rock the Ivy League cut.

Whom Does The Ivy League Hairstyle Fit

Fortunately, you don’t require an ivy league haircut class in place to know whether the haircut can fit you or not. It looks excellent on any guy who is looking for a smart look that can be rocked for almost all events. With textured hair, it gives you a style that can be easily styled in the morning for the guys who don’t want to spend a lot of time styling their hair.

However, there are more formal and clean Ivy League hairstyles compared to casual styles. Perhaps, this is because of its origin, which is a scholarly one. So if you want to make a fashionable, yet chic and sophisticated look for formal events, opt for more formal haircuts. The best thing is that these haircuts, though formal. It doesn’t require a lot of styling, as you will find with the other types of formal haircuts.

You may choose haircut variations that look great on medium length hair. Regardless of your hair type, whether thick or thin, you are sure you will find a hairstyle that rocks you. Ivy haircuts are known for their neat and tidy look that basically suits formal ambiance.

GIVE BACK THIS HOLIDAY SEASON WITH MARRIOTT HOTELS IN THE MIDWEST

Leave a reply

With the holidays right around the corner, travelers will be presented with numerous occasions to donate their time, items or money for the greater good. From chances to volunteer to specials benefiting local organizations, each Midwest city offers its own unique traditions to help those in need. Marriott Hotels across the Midwest are providing prime opportunities for guests looking to open their hearts and give back while vacationing during this joyous time of the year.

Chicago, Illinois

● The 42nd Annual Chicagoland Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade, hosted on Sunday, December 1, attracts between 40,000 and 50,000 motorcyclists each year and provides thousands of toys to children and families in need during the holiday season. For those who do not own a motorcycle, the Chicagoland Toys for Tots organization is always looking for parade volunteers to assist in the smooth execution of the event through toy collection, photography, security, and more. Those traveling to Chicago for this event may stay at either Sheraton Grand Chicago or The Westin Michigan Avenue, which are both a 35-minute drive from the celebration. Patrons looking to purchase a brand-new toy to donate to the organization may stay at the Residence Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile, which is located within walking distance of all the stores on the iconic Magnificent Mile.

Green Bay, Wisconsin

● The Hotel Northland, Autograph Collection is teaming up with the New Community Shelter, an organization that addresses homelessness and hopelessness through education and supportive services, to supply holiday turkey dinners for the shelter’s residents. Throughout the month of December, the property will also donate one dollar from every turkey special ordered to the New Community Shelter. Additionally, hotel staff will ask visitors if they would like to match the dollar donation.

Detroit, Michigan

● Serving 1,500 children annually, The Children’s Center of Detroit’s Holiday Shop provides less-fortunate parents with the ability to surprise their families with gifts under their Christmas trees. Free of charge, guests may shop a wide-array of brand new, donated items. Following “purchase,” gifts are wrapped on-site and ready for the holiday festivities. Those in the area that are looking to donate their time or never-been-used items to this organization can stay at the Aloft Detroit at the David Whitney, Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center or the Courtyard Detroit Downtown, which are all located just 20 minutes via car from the center.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

● The Twin Cities Salvation Army offers aid to its community through all seasons of the year with a diverse range of programming. Those visiting this area during the holiday season may volunteer with the organization to assist with coat distribution, meal service, food distribution and more. With multiple donation centers in and around the city, travelers throughout Minneapolis have many opportunities to make a difference. Guests staying at the Courtyard Minneapolis- St. Paul Airport or Delta Hotels Minneapolis Northeast are just a short drive away from the multiple Salvation Army locations in St. Paul and Minneapolis including 2024 N. Lyndale Ave. and 3740 S. Nicollet Ave. Additionally, Moxy Minneapolis Uptown is located just a 15-minute drive to the Salvation Army on 1604 E. Lake Street.

Cincinnati, Ohio

● The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for food banks and as they try to accommodate the rise in demand, volunteers become a major asset to these organizations. The Freestore Foodbank, a local Cincinnati organization, provides food insecure individuals and families with nutritious meals and programs that encourage stability. Visitors at the Courtyard Cincinnati Covington and Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown may volunteer to assist in packing meals in boxes, sorting food donations and much more, as these properties are located 10 minutes away from the food bank.

Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s will stop selling fur by end of fiscal 2020; Commitment made in partnership with the Humane Society of the United States

Macy’s, Inc. announced that it will stop selling fur by the end of fiscal 2020. This includes all Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s private brands, as well as items sold from brand partners. Fur will no longer be sold in Macy’s, Inc. off-price stores, including Macy’s Backstage and Bloomingdale’s The Outlet. As part of this commitment, the company will be closing its Fur Vaults and salons.

“Over the past two years, we have been closely following consumer and brand trends, listening to our customers and researching alternatives to fur. We’ve listened to our colleagues, including direct feedback from our Go Green Employee Resource Group, and we have met regularly on this topic with the Humane Society of the United States and other NGOs. Macy’s private brands are already fur free so expanding this practice across all Macy’s, Inc. is the natural next step,” said Jeff Gennette, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc. “We are proud to partner with the Humane Society of the United States in our commitment to ending the sale of fur. We remain committed to providing great fashion and value to our customers, and we will continue to offer high-quality and fashionable faux fur alternatives.”

“We applaud Macy’s, Inc.’s forward-thinking and principled decision to end the sale of fur by the end of fiscal 2020,” said Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States. “This announcement is consistent with the views of countless consumers in the marketplace, and other retailers should follow. With so many designers, major cities and now a state taking a stand against the sale of fur, we’re that much closer to ending this unnecessary and inhumane practice.”
