The Curse of the Kraken is a legendary tale that has been passed down through generations. It tells the story of a mighty sea creature known as the Kraken, who was said to have the power to bring destruction upon any ship unfortunate enough to cross its path. According to the legend, the Kraken was a massive creature with tentacles so large that they could wrap around a ship and pull it under the depths of the sea. Its mere presence was said to be enough to strike fear into the hearts of even the bravest sailors. The Curse of the Kraken is said to have originated from a tragic event that occurred many years ago. It is believed that a group of sailors encountered the Kraken while sailing in treacherous waters.
Shag & Undercut: How To Nail 2020’s Major Looks
It’s a cut with a history. And now it’s making history again with a very modern approach from Joico Global Artistic Director, Richard Mannah.
Richard describes the look:
A very layered cut that’s versatile, feminine, and effortless. It can be cut in many different lengths and has a cool long fringe.
How the Mod Shag is a trend-setter:
This modern take on the rock-n-roll classic is casual, tousled, and visually effortless – perfect on medium and long-length hair now, with the trending “curtain bang.” Old shags may have been cookie-cutter…but the Mod Shag is utterly customizable.
Different each time:
No style is a one-size-fits all. Each hairdresser can take a concept, idea, and technique, and make it suit the individual they work on. Nothing – especially the shag – has to be a carbon copy.
Who can wear it:
Great news…everyone! But the longer version is recommended for clients with thicker hair.

AFTER
Tweaking the look for your client:
The Mod Shag works with all facial features. But the length you choose determines the suitability factor – especially when it comes to bangs. With rounder face shapes, avoid rounding off the fringe, as it only accentuates that roundness.
Key products:
Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil brings out the shine of a shag, and Body Shake Texturizing Finisher adds volume and dimension.

THE DOWNTOWN UNDERCUT
The look may call to mind severe shave/scissor combos. But Joico Global Artistic Director, Richard Mannah, has a soft and chic new take on this multi-dimensional crop.
Richard describes the look:
Inspired by the downtown style-setters in NYC, the charisma of this modernized look hinges on a creative, rebellious, experimental vibe…perfectly showcased by actress Kristen Stewart’s recent haircuts.
How the Downtown Undercut is a trend-setter:
Shorter and softer than your run-of-the-mill undercut, this look glows with subtlety; in fact, only when you lift the back layers do you start to see the undercut elements. The versatility comes out in the styling: Wear it with a center parting, a side parting, or even completely off the face.
Who can wear it:
It’s a sure thing for clients with medium-to-fine-density hair. (If hair is thicker, you’ll need to focus on reducing weight after it’s dried.) For clients with rounder faces, steer clear of cutting the style too short; a bit of extra length provides softness and gives the illusion of facial angles.
Haircut Counseling
SPC Sullivan, on 10 May 2013, after being identified as not meeting standards in personal appearance, you were verbally counseled about the importance of personal appearance and maintaining standards. Today I noticed that your hair is still out of regulations. In order to make sure there is no misunderstanding, the specific problem is that your sideburns are too long, your mustache is too wide, and the hair on the side of your head touches and extends past your ears.
This counseling statement has been furnished to you, not as a punitive measure under the provisions of article 15, UCMJ, but as an administrative measure to stress that continued behavior of the same or a similar nature may result in initiation of action separating you from the U.S. Army under the provisions of Chapter (5) (8) (11) (13) (14) , AR 635-200. Such action may result in either an Honorable Discharge, General Discharge, or an Other Than Honorable (OTH) Discharge. If you receive a General or an OTH Discharge, this could result in the possible loss of some or all Veterans Benefits and substantial prejudice in obtaining civilian employment. In addition, if you have contributed money to the Montgomery G.I. Bill and you are released from active duty with a less than Honorable Discharge, you will not be eligible to receive money for educational purposes and any money already contributed for educational purposes is nonrefundable and may be forfeited.
Review AR-670-1 and make a trip to the base barber shop. The barbers are familiar with the regulation and will do the hard work for you. I cannot stress enough how basic and foundational it is to maintain good grooming standards. Everything else you learn in the Army will build upon this foundation. Without an underlying self-discipline and ability to understand and meet standards, you may not be able to progress in this man's Army.
This, like many tasks we are responsible for, is a cyclical requirement and you and I must develop a plan to help you execute this responsibility on a regular basis --without fail. Associate this task with some other duty that you perform on a regular basis, like cashing a paycheck or attending church, so that you don't forget to do it. This is important. If you do not acquire this skill and are identified again as not meeting standards, more serious consequences will follow.
Session Closing: (The leader summarizes the key points of the session and checks to ensure the subordinate understands the plan of action. The subordinate agrees/disagrees and provides remarks if appropriate)
Individual counseled: I agree / disagree with the information above
Individual counseled remarks:
Signature of Individual Counseled: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Date: _20 May 2013_
Leader Responsibilities: (Leader's responsibilities in implementing the plan of action)
I will ensure that our leadership is aware of this counseling and will provide guidance and assistance whenever you request it or need it.
Signature of Counselor: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Date: _20 May 2013_
Assessment: (Did the plan of action achieve the desired results? This section is completed by both the leader and the individual counseled and provides useful information for follow-up counseling)
SPC Sullivan has recognized the importance of regular grooming and has established a method of ensuring he meets and remains in standards. His appearance has improved and he now exceeds standards. SPC Sullivan's success will undoubtedly carry over into other areas of his career.

The Magic Bullet?
W ith blond hair cut high and tight and a bayonet-sharp jaw line, Kai Kloepfer bears a striking resemblance to Duke, the heroic (albeit fictional) G.I. Joe sergeant who spent the 1980s thwarting Cobra Commander’s plans for global domination. The backdrop for today’s Zoom call does little to quash the comparison.
Flanked by American and Colorado flags, Kloepfer sits in front of a solid blue wall with the name of his company, Biofire, stenciled across its surface. The effect is imposing—like he’s beaming in from the Pentagon. It’s also, however, a bit of a charade. Kloepfer rotates his computer to his left and, through a glass partition, reveals Biofire’s employee kitchen, which looks like your run-of-the-mill tech company’s break room. There is fancy coffee, a pod for private phone calls, and a set of comfortable leather chairs under another Biofire sign, this one set into a leafy plant wall. “Pretend you never saw that,” Kloepfer jokes.
If Biofire’s Broomfield headquarters feels like a movie set, that only makes sense. After all, a startup’s culture emanates from its founder, and this 26-year-old founder isn’t what he appears to be. Or, rather, he’s not what he appears to be. Yes, Kloepfer’s firm makes pistols, but the Boulder-area native spent his formative years in a mostly gun-free household dreaming up science fair projects that were so sophisticated they sparked suspicions of undue parental influence. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and peppers conversations with phrases such as, “so it was actually a very sophisticated seven-factor heterogeneous sensor fusion solution.” But he’s self-aware enough to follow that up with, “I feel

I struggled to finish "Curze of the Kraken" as it just didn't captivate me. The writing was mediocre, with choppy sentences and a lack of descriptive language. The plot was predictable and lacked originality, and the characters felt one-dimensional. The author's attempts at creating tension and suspense fell flat, and I found myself disinterested in the outcome.

4. Emily - 2.5 stars
"Curze of the Kraken" had its moments, but overall, it was a disappointment. The narrative felt disjointed, jumping between different perspectives without any clear structure. The dialogue was often awkward and unrealistic, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. While there were glimpses of an interesting plot, it was not enough to make up for the book's overall shortcomings. I wouldn't recommend this book to someone looking for a captivating read.
