6ix9ine takes the stand again Mickiah Johnson Opinions Editor mrj2829@lockhaven.edu Tekashi 6ix9ine is testifying again, but this time against the Bloods and Cardi B may be involved.

According to the New York Times, recently on Sept. 22 6ix9ine, who’s real name is Daniel Hernandez, has testified against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods in court. Specifically his two former companions Anthony Ellison, 31, and Aljermiah Mack, 33.

He was testifying against his former companions on their whereabouts on a case of racketeering and firearms that was brought upon the gang last year that prosecuters have been trying to slam them on.

The Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods are however unhappy of his testifying and have already threatened to kill the rapper. According to NY Daily News, rapper and music director, Jim Jones, was caught wiretapped on a phone call with a godfather of the Nine Trey Bloods implicating him saying that “they best get to violating” 6ix9ine. Also, he was only a money ploy for the gang and not even a real member. According to the New York Times, 6ix9ine said in court that he knew they were going to harm him and that he’d become a target.

The rappers has also outed Cardi B, her actual name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, for having association with the gang. Allegedly Cardi B had made her connections with the gang known in the past in her GQ profile last year. The rapper said in her interview, “ It’s almost like a fraternity,

a sorority.” According to GQ, the rapper has recommended that young people and specifically young girls not to join the gang, which is great advice.

Fellow rappers or performers such as Snoop Dogg have already branded him a “snitch.” In a recent Instagram post, Snoop showed his dismay towards the rapper by comparing him to Martha Stewart. He reminded his followers that Stewart didn’t “snitch” on anyone and that she kept to herself, unlike 6ix9ine.

According to the New York Times, as part of a plea deal, 6ix9ine will probably be a part of witness protection, which most would say would be the only wise thing he’s done in that courtroom. Hopefully, he gets everything he wants or deserves when all this courtroom madness has ended. At least the public can enjoy the popular and hilarious memes created just to scrutinize and brand him as a snitch.

Sept. 26, 2019 Take time to enjoy the “OASIS” Kiara Carson Managing Editor knc9459@lockhaven.edu Bad Bunny and J Balvin are two of the most popular Latin rappers/singers this generation has ever come across and they just made an album that will blow your mind. Their musical styles are quite different from each other’s, but together they make an amazing musical duo.

With Balvin’s experience in reggaetón and Bunny’s amazing talent in diversifying Spanish trap, this duo was bound to make something out of this world, and they succeeded. Their new album “OASIS” is something no one should miss out on.

Mind you, all the songs are in Spanish so if you’re not well-versed in the language, don’t feel bad. The beats they exemplify will speak loud and clear to your body and tell it to dance.

Hispanic culture is one that will make you excited to attend family gatherings and parties just because of the music alone. This album would be the one to have everyone dancing sexy and get in the mood.

The words are extremely enticing. Coming from two men makes it even more intense.

Not only do their voices blend well with each other’s styles, but they mix in a variety of tones on their tracks. Salsa, pumped-up jazz, classic Spanish rock, dembow, and so much more

that’ll definitely activate your hips in creating an up-beat motion.

“OASIS” not only brings a lot of fun into your life, but it might also spice up your relationships with songs like “LA CANCIÓN” and “COMO UN BEBÉ.” They’ll make you want to grab your significant other for a few romantic moments together.

You might have a little more understanding of the style and more fun interacting with the beats if you’re from Latin descent, but it doesn’t stop others from joining the excitement. The song “YO LE LLEGO” talks about bringing different Spanish speaking countries like Puerto Rico, Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, and so much more together to have a party to basically get drunk and make love.

Maybe it’s a suggestion to the world that we should all come together instead of being apart. A lot of Spanish music exhibits this ‘coming together’ through music, but a lot of the United States doesn’t understand it, which should probably change. Until then, try enjoying the amazing and exotic musical stylings that Colombia and Puerto Rico created through “OASIS.”

This is me

Eric Sass Staff Writer exs8300@lockhaven.edu My name is Eric Sass, I was born in Orlando, Florida but grew up in the Carolinas and then migrated up north here in the nearby greater Williamsport area. I have a younger brother who’s name is Kevin.

Most of my Elementary school years were spent in the Charlotte, North Carolina area during the mid to late 90’s. Actually it was here in north central Pennsylvania where I completed all three levels of education.

Now each hold a special place in my heart but my favorite years were during what is known as Primary school today. It was that time in my life to discover talents and do fun group activities that you just grow out of once you reach Junior high.

You could say even today I can sometimes feel like a kid at heart.

When my family and I first moved into a mobile home park here in 2001 where we met some of our very close friends.

Their names were Jordan, from central PA, then Josh and Amanda from Tulsa, Oklahoma. We would form a club in time and I would especially enjoy the part of making up school work and projects to grade to help better educate them. I really liked the idea of being a leader and the teaching aspect that came with it.

I’m aware the first impression I might give off is that I can be timid and shy. But the surprising thing is, I feel that a career in teaching would be a perfect fit for me.

In a bit of comparison, being a cashier is the best job I’ve ever had due to the fact that I am working with the public and need to be sociable. I’ve always had a lack of friends and sure that could be a factor into why I desire a sociable environment.

Some people need a lot of time to decide what road they want to take in life. I was one of those people and would have made up my mind earlier rather than later, and nega-

tive thoughts would cloud my judgement such as not believing I could ever have the knowledge and confidence to become a teacher. Obviously, that changed over time. I love the variety of school subjects that would come with teaching say second through fourth graders so hopefully I can teach them in the future.

Also, the one huge thing that opened my eyes and was a big time confidence builder was learning a cashier role at a local supermarket. I was pretty terrified when I was first going through training. Seeing the fast pace the trainers were working at gave me doubts about not being able to handle that type of worpkplace pace, but I proved myself wrong in a very good way!

You might want to make that bed, too.

Taurus Apr. 20- May 20 The day ahead should be excellent, Taurus. You tend to work with an energy unparalleled by the other signs, and today you reap some rewards for your diligence.

Aquarius Jan. 20- Feb. 18 The Rolling Stones said it best, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” and that’s how you’ve been feeling lately, Aquarius.

The day ahead will provide some relief and open up new, more fulfilling opportunities.

Pisces Feb. 19- Mar. 20 You’re often preoccupied by other people’s lives.

Your devotion to others will be appreciated today, Pisces. For example, in the family circle, you may have to bandage everyone’s little physical or psychological wounds. Don’t neglect your energy needs. As you’re aware, you need all the strength you can muster.

How to date yourself

Tess English Online Editor tae7002@lockhaven.edu One of the best ways to date yourself is to natually and positively take care of yourself. Go ahead and try one of these few tips out to supplement the standard dating practices: Buy yourself a drink: Did you know 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated to according to dripdrop.com? This could be affecting your daily health. According to WebMD dehydration symptoms include but are not limited to: fatigue, dizziness, and confusion. Do yourself a favor and do a shot (or a few) of water and see if they help any tired or unwell feelings.

Treat yourself: Instead of waiting around for the right guy or gal to buy you flowers and chocolates go ahead and get them yourself. It may feel a little superficial, but everyone deserves a little bit of indulgence. Plus you have the added bonus of already knowing what you want, instead of having your partner take an educated guess.

Go on a date with yourself: Couples often take time to share interests and try new things; why not take time to try to expand the understanding of yourself? Try an art class, watch a new tv series, go somewhere new, or any new activity for the matter. Maybe you’ll pick up a new hobby.

Compliment yourself: It’s like flirting, but with yourself. Leave yourself a little love note on post-it or take a great picture/selfie and post it with a positive caption. It doesn’t have to be physical either; you can celebrate little victories like handling a stressful situation with grace or commending yourself on achieving a good grade on an exam.

People may come and go into your life, but you’ll always have to deal with yourself. So it might be a good idea to take some time and learn how to love yourself more often than usual. It’s habit to neglect yourself, but remember that you can be the best version of yourself, only if you choose to be.

Google Glass: next big thing or next big flop?

Cassandra Keller Managing Editor cmk2356@lockhaven.edu

Have you heard? The future is here at last. Introducing the latest in smart technology, the Google Glass.

They are the new smart eyeglasses to hit the market this year.The name might sound familiar to some of you tech wizes out there because this isn’t Google Glass’s first launch.

Series one was launched to an exclusive group of beta testers on Apr 15, 2013 and then to the public May 15, 2014. The original marketing failed as it had no clear function for why the consumer would want to use the Google Glass.

With little progress to make the glass a finished product, the Google Glass was recalled in 2015.

Earlier this year, however, Google Glass is back for round two. This time with a focused consumer base, businesses. Google Glass’s website said, “Glass Enterprise Edition 2 is a wearable device that helps businesses improve the quality of their output, and help their employees work smarter, faster and safer.” With this new updated version, it seems that Google Glass has brought the future to us and I would completely agree to an extent.

Google Glass has many helpful features that will help workers work even more faster and more efficiently when they can carry a computer on their heads. The problem is, in that

same way, the Google Glass can also might not even be worth the investment.

Yes, instructions can now be handsfree in front of a worker, but a couple seconds of work freed by having the instructions in a worker’s face might not add up to thousands of dollars that this kind of venture would cost.

If Google can somehow produce and sell the Google Glass at a cheaper price, then this product will revolutionize our businesses and might even be able to find a more public use. Otherwise, it will flop again just like it did in 2015.

Women’s March says bye-bye to Billoo Brooke Holben Staff Writer beh968@lockhaven.edu The morning of Sept 19th proves to possibly be a dull one for Zahra Billoo, as she is not to be considered a Muslim leader of the Women’s March board, and instead just Zahra Billoo. It’s said she was removed for her twitter activity, as she had been criticizing Israel, but she countered it, calling her removal part of a “Islam phobic smear campaign.”

The Women’s March organization is all about being accepting of all women. That spares no prejudice towards any race, nationality, or sexuality to that of the women.

They build each other up, stand up for each other, and support one another.

The organization claimed that some of her public announcements were controversial with these ideals and their purpose. In public tweets, Billoo compared Israeli military and the Islamic state. She claimed, “Both are murderous, war crime committing, terrorist entities.”

This can also be tied back to a tweet in 2005, in which she

announced, “I’m more afraid of racist Zionists who support Apartheid Israel than of the mentally ill young people the #FBI recruits to join ISIS.” You may wonder why Billoo was appointed to the board in the first place. The answer, in short; diversity. Three Women’s March organization co-chair members (Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, and Bob Bland) had stepped down while being accused of anti-Semitism. In short, Billoo is not the first to come amid allegations of discrimination against a group of people, though will she be the last?

Cross Country

Doug Spatafore Director of Athletic Communications & Marketing dspatafo@lockhaven.edu Aaron Pfeil of the Lock Haven University men’s cross country team has been named this week’s Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Men’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week.

At Saturday’s LHU Invite, Pfeil was third out of 373 total runners and covered Lock Haven’s 8,000-meter course with a career-best 25:07.0, which powered the Bald Eagles to a team title in a loaded field.

He was the top DII finisher and the top PSAC finisher.

As a team, Lock Haven, ranked No. 6 in the latest NCAA Division II Atlantic Region rankings, bested the 32 team field and knocked off several teams ranked ahead of them. The Bald Eagles scored 81 points, thanks to Pfeil’s third-place finish, a pair of runners in the top-10 and four finishers among the top-25. The Penn State Club Team showed well and took second overall and Division I Bucknell was third. Davis & Elkins was fourth and IUP was fifth.

The LHU men knocked off Davis & Elkins, Shippensburg and Edinboro, all teams ranked in the top-five of the region, and ahead of Lock Haven entering Saturday’s massive home meet.

Doug Spatafore Director of Athletic Communications & Marketing dspatafo@lockhaven.edu For the third straight week, Laurel Moyer of the regionally-ranked Lock Haven University women’s cross country team has been named the weekly Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Women’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week.

Moyer once again led the way for the Bald Eagles as she turned in another brilliant early-season effort.

She battled the heat and large field, and finished 10th overall in the loaded 403-runner field.

Moyer covered Lock Haven’s flat 6,000-meter course in an impressive 21:28.3. She was the second NCAA Division II finisher and the top finisher from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC).

Her strong run helped Lock Haven finish fourth out of 37 teams in a stacked field that featured a number of ranked Division I, III and III teams.

Today marked the third straight week where Moyer has been named the athlete of the week by the PSAC for the sport of women’s cross country.

Field Hockey opens A-10 play with thrilling shootout win Doug Spatafore Director of Athletic Communications & Marketing dspatafo@lockhaven.edu LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University field hockey team (3-4, 1-0 A-10) opened Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) play this afternoon with a thrilling 2-1 (shootout) victory over visiting Davidson (1-7, 0-2 A-10).

The difference in the outcome of the match came in the shootout, as the Bald Eagles were able to convert a pair of attempts to Davidson’s zero. At the end of regulation, the two teams were tied at 1-1, and after two overtime periods (20 total minutes of overtime), the game remained deadlocked at 1-1, forcing the shootout.

It marked Lock Haven’s second shootout in as many games, and the victory today helped the Bald Eagles snap a three-game skid.

LHU moved to 3-4 overall and sits at 1-0 in league play after the conference-opening win.

Amy Stevens (Castle Creek, N.Y./Whitney Point) put Lock Haven up 1-0 early in the contest (12th minute of the first quarter). She rocketed the ball far post after standout-defender Karina Long (Hummelstown, Pa./Lower Dauphin) played a perfect pass into the crease.

It marked the first goal of Stevens’ LHU career. She’s been a leader so far this season for the LHU offense.

Goalkeeper Joaquina Orlandini (Concordi, Entre Rios, Argentina/ San Antonio School) was called upon to make one big save down the stretch and she did just that, before her brilliance took over in the shootout.

During regulation, the LHU defense played well. Leading the way in that category was Tia Judy (East Prospect, Pa./Homeschooled), Emily Robb (Millersville, Pa./ Penn Manor), Taylor Plouse (Middletown, Pa./Lower Dauphin), Kayla Brathwaite (Arouca, Trinidad and Tobago/ Bishop Anstey East) and Niamh Sexton (Fermoy, Ireland/Loreto Secondary School Fermoy). All of them played a huge role in getting the win today and putting the Bald Eagles back on track, thanks to the thrilling A-10 victory.

Rookie Jazmin Palma (Entre Rios Province, Argentina./Colegio Sagrado Corazon de Jesus) also stood out once again, but it was a total team effort, and every clutch play was pivotal in the outcome.

Some of Brathwaite’s best play came in overtime, particularly in the first overtime period, as she controlled the flow of the game with her tenacious defending and speed.

Early in the second overtime, Palma forced the Davidson goalkeeper to make a lunging stop. As time expired in the second-OT, Palma

bolted toward goal from midfield and sent a shot to the far post, which just trickled wide left.

After Lock Haven and Davidson both failed to convert on each of their first two attempts in the shootout, LHU got the markers they needed. Both Brathwaite and Palma scored after strong individual efforts. Orlandini was not to be outdone and her quick pressure put the Wildcats shooters on edge. She also made an outstanding kick save to keep the shootout level at 0-0 through two shots.

A-10 opener: Today’s match marked LHU’s 2019 A-10 opener. The Bald Eagles were picked fifth in the A-10 Preseason Coaches’ poll (8/19/19). Saint Joseph’s, the defending A-10 champions, received eight of nine firstplace votes and was picked as the preseason-favorite. Virginia Commonwealth checked in at No. 2 and Massachusetts rounded out the top-three teams. Richmond checked in at No. 4, one spot ahead of the Bald Eagles, who were slotted in the No. 5 spot. Lock Haven was followed by No. 6 La Salle, No. 7 Saint Francis, No. 8 Davidson and No. 9 Saint Louis. Last season, the Bald Eagles were 3-5 in A-10 action, thanks to wins over Davidson, Saint Louis and La Salle. All three conference wins came by way of a shutout and LHU outscored their conference foes 9-0 in those three games.

Up next: Today’s home match vs. Davidson marked the second of four straight for Lock Haven at home. Next weekend is LHU’s 2019 Homecoming Weekend and the Bald Eagles will host a pair of games on Charlotte E. Smith Field. Next up for the Bald Eagles is Richmond on Friday, September 27 at 3 p.m. LHU will cap Homecoming Weekend 2019 with a home non-conference contest vs. Long Island on Sunday, September 29 at 1 p.m.
