If you know Kelvin Beachum, it's almost certainly as a giant man who has spent the last four years trying to stop other behemoths from blindsiding Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
And if you've read anything about him recently, it was probably about how the former seventh-round pick out of Southern Methodist University signed a five-year, $45 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars after taking over the Steelers' starting left tackle job early in his second year, and how he held on to that job until a knee injury sidelined him for the rest of the 2015 season.
You're less likely to be aware that Beachum, who graduated from SMU with a degree in economics, has become engrossed in helping children get educated in science, technology, engineering and math since entering the NFL in 2012.
And he's not alone: Players around the hard-hitting league are starting or partnering with advocate organizations to emphasize the importance of STEM to children. Beachum says NFL players have an opportunity to take their STEM support to another level because of their available resources and an ability to connect with children on shared interests.

"For one, we're big kids," he says. "So we pull out the drones, we pull out the fast race cars. We're all gamers, whether it's 'Madden' [or] 'Call of Duty.'"
Beachum says those things tie players to STEM even if they don't realize it.
"That's where there are opportunities for awareness," he says. "It's fun for us and it's fun for kids if you can connect a football player who likes playing with drones to a kid who finds drones fascinating. And who's to say that doesn't change a kid's perspective on science or technology? For a player, that's low-hanging fruit; that's something we can do pretty easily."
Changing kids' perspectives on science and technology is exactly what Project Lead The Way tries to do. The nonprofit organization develops STEM-focused curriculums for schools across the country. Its vice president for the Midwest region is an engaging 50-year-old man from Ohio named William White.
[OP-ED: Underrepresented Groups Need Hand Up, Not Handout, in STEM Education]
In a past life, White had an 11-year career as a safety for the Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons, for whom he started in Super Bowl XXXIII.
White didn't approach college like someone expecting a long NFL career. He studied metallurgical engineering at Ohio State University, a major he says he selected because "in the last seven years I looked at [from 1984], 100 percent of graduates had gotten a job, and I figured I wouldn't be the first to not get one. My life goal had always been to have my own bathroom because I was the youngest of seven kids."
A story White is fond of telling is that he decided to pursue engineering as a child when one summer he visited the General Motors foundry where his father worked in his hometown of Lima, Ohio. White says it was hot and the only air-conditioned office in the building was the engineer's so, despite not knowing what an engineer did, he decided that was the career he wanted. (He's not an engineer, but he does have air conditioning in his office. Call it a push.)
White does a lot of meeting with leaders in education and government, petitioning for STEM and trying to get Project Lead The Way's curriculums implemented in schools. He reaches out to friends he still has in the NFL to make inroads there as well.

"The more you can use those current players that kids are goo-goo about," the better, White says. Young people will listen when players "say those meaningful things and help them get on track."
It doesn't have to be current players, though. White does more public speaking than might be expected from someone with his job, because he finds that his own accomplishments on the field help reel young people in, especially around Ohio and Michigan.
"I was in Michigan, and when you say 'Detroit Lions,' kids pay more attention to it. When a coach finds out I'm there, they may want to bring the team together," White says. "So if you mention the 11 years and draw on that, people appear to listen."
Much of White's value to Project Lead The Way is tied to the organization's fight against misconceptions and work to raise awareness about STEM.
Making a Difference for the Underserved
Advocates say after-school programs are key to helping diverse students succeed in STEM.
"A lot of kids deciding if they are good at STEM and want to pursue it is based on stereotypes and perceptions rather than actuality," organization spokeswoman Jennifer Cahill says.
She says Project Lead The Way is in more than 8,000 schools, but that there are hundreds of thousands more in which to impact students.
"Students might not choose to take [our curriculums] if their school has them," Cahill says. "But we want all students to have that choice."
One person Project Lead The Way has impacted is Beachum. When the now-Jaguars offensive tackle was fervently researching ways to get involved and be a role model in STEM, the organization connected him with the University of Texas—Tyler, which partnered with him so he could bring their mobile STEM lab to his hometown of Mexia, Texas, and host STEM education events.
The Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh hosted students from the Homewood YMCA for a Fab Lab workshop with Kelvin Beachum. (Michele Rosenthal)
"I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel; I'm trying to utilize the resources I already have," Beachum says. "What UT-Tyler has done is be a good partner and show me the way to do that at a more systemic level because they've already done it."
Beachum echoes the importance of awareness.
"My dad, my grandfather have been in STEM all my life, and they didn't know it," he says of the career auto mechanics. He says in their part of the country, so many people aren't aware of the opportunities that exist or what STEM even means, and he wants to do his part to change that.
"STEM is always going to be in my blood. I come from a family that all we do is give. This is another opportunity to give of my resources, give of my time, give of my network," Beachum says. "I was at [the 2015] U.S. News STEM Solutions Conference, and I wanted to know where were areas I could be of service. … There were seminars about role models, and I was like, 'Wow, that's easy; I do that naturally. So why not be a STEM role model?'"
[READ: How Computer Science Can Change Lives]
Beachum says he knows of athletes all around the league who are involved in STEM advocacy, and a lot of them keep each other abreast of what they are doing. Teams and players on the West Coast near Silicon Valley are especially involved, he says, with the San Francisco 49ers having helped form the STEM Leadership Institute and Russell Okung, who just left the Seattle Seahawks for the Denver Broncos, being another big advocate for tech mentorship through his nonprofit, The Greater Foundation.
In other areas of the country, the New York Giants' Victor Cruz has been partnering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Time Warner Cable to promote STEM education, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers players such as Alterraun Verner and Donovan Smith have gotten involved in such efforts as well.
Another player in the East who has been involved in STEM for years is former Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons fullback Ovie Mughelli, whose foundation focuses on teaching children about the environment.

Professional athletes devoting resources to charity is nothing new, of course, but the focus on STEM is.
Sports are supposedly a microcosm of society, and that growth mirrors the increased interest in STEM in society writ large. Google Trends tracks science, technology, engineering and mathematics as a topic, and in America before June 2011, it had never reached more than 25 percent of the search popularity it attained in May 2016. Traffic on that topic, in fact, has steadily increased since the beginning of 2011.
Cathleen Laporte, founder of Athletes for Charity, helps the NFL's Detroit Lions and Buccaneers get involved at schools serving low-income students in their respective cities. She says that while their efforts used to focus more on literacy, things have shifted over the last five to 10 years.
"STEM is the latest, hottest fad," she says. "I can't even call it a fad, per se. It's a necessity here in the U.S. because we have a great demand for skilled and trained professionals, but we don't have those with the skills to meet that demand."
Indeed, the number of jobs in STEM increased 28 percent between 2000 and 2015, according to the U.S. News/Raytheon STEM Index, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics expects continued growth going forward. Between that growth and graduation rates in STEM fields, the White House is expecting there to be 2.4 million unfilled STEM jobs by 2018, which is among the more conservative estimates.
Many of these careers require specialized skills and training so people need to start pursuing them, or at least preparing to pursue them, early. And many children, especially poor children in urban environments, either don't receive the necessary exposure to STEM to understand how important those jobs are, or aren't sufficiently engaged.
[READ: NASA Chief Bolden: STEM Interest Needed to Reach Mars By 2030s]
That, again, is where professional athletes come in. Experts say developing skills early is important, but developing confidence early is truly crucial with STEM subjects – meaning the impact of a role model's encouragement should not be understated.

"Going into schools, I can tell the kids to focus on their academics, do their homework, and it goes in one ear and out the other, just as they probably get it from their parents and their teachers," Laporte says. "But to have an athlete, a 'celebrity,' someone who is on TV that they look up to, share their personal story … it doesn't just go in one ear and out the other, it goes in that ear and it stays. They listen. The athletes have a platform and a voice that reaches the children."
Among Athletes for Charity's initiatives are ongoing programs featuring athletes delivering science and math books to schools on a monthly basis and helping students read them with project assignments and rewards, such as autographs and tickets to Lions and Detroit Pistons NBA games. Corporate sponsors like Ford and Tata Technologies in Detroit also send engineers and scientists to schools to engage students.
One involved athlete is Don Carey, a strong safety for the Lions entering his eighth NFL season. Carey spent his first two years with the Jacksonville Jaguars before finding a home with the Lions, 150 miles east of his Grand Rapids, Michigan, birthplace. A special teams stalwart whom his Lions teammates voted as the team MVP in that facet of the game after he led the NFL in solo special teams tackles this past season, Carey exhibits the same workmanlike attitude off the field.

"I'm used as a hook," Carey says. He points out, though, that "whenever someone sows their time with the young people, you can start seeing" the dividends. He says he's watched the difference volunteers make regardless of whether they're professional athletes, so while his platform can help reel kids in, he isn't sure he makes that much more of a difference than anybody else who puts in the time.
Carey has been involved with Athletes for Charity for three years, and says one of the reasons STEM is such a big focus is because early partners like Tata wanted to focus on STEM, or STEAM – with an added "A" to bring arts into the equation.
"The STEM sector is growing," Carey says. "We're talking about giving our kids a good-paying job and this is a great way to do that."
[OP-ED: How America Can Win the STEM Race]
After having a presence in two Detroit schools last year, Athletes for Charity plans to expand to four this year. Though Carey has spearheaded this involvement with schools, his Lions teammates commonly pitch in at events. At one Carey hosted at Dixon Educational Learning Academy last May, star wide receiver Calvin Johnson, linebacker Jerrell Harris and defensive ends Darryl Tapp and Phillip Hunt volunteered their time.
Carey says that participation stems from coach Jim Caldwell.
Alterraun Verner and Kevin Pamphile of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers assist in a Tampa, Fla., elementary school. (Cathleen Laporte)
"Our head coach loves community and involvement," he says. "Anytime we have a team meeting, he asks are there any announcements, and if nobody talks about going out into the community, he doesn't like that. And players love going out," which makes it easy to get people involved.
Johnson retired this offseason and Harris, Tapp and Hunt are no longer with the Lions – but that hasn't stopped Carey from being able to motivate his teammates.
Earlier this month at the first of Carey's STEM Days and free youth football camps in the area, a group of players including running back Ameer Abdullah, safeties Rafael Bush and Miles Killebrew, cornerbacks Quandre Diggs and Alex Carter, offensive linemen Michael Ola and Gabe Ikard, and wide receivers Jace Billingsley and Jay Lee joined Carey as coaches.
Abdullah, Killebrew, Diggs, Carter, Billingsley and Lee are all first- or second-year players, so it doesn't look like Caldwell will have to worry about his locker room being silent when he asks if there are community announcements anytime soon.

Can good communication divorce-proof your marriage?
Check out any marriage self-help book and you'll see at least one chapter devoted to communication. Positive communication has long been seen by many as a way to save a bad marriage or prevent things from going downhill to begin with. However, a recent study out of the University of Georgia seems to indicate that good communication may not be the simple solution.
Women are statistically happier than men after a divorce
While previous studies have shown that women are more likely than men to initiate the divorce, a recent study has now found that women are also more likely to be more satisfied with their post-divorce lives. The study looked at 2,000 adults in the United States and surveyed them on how they felt about their lives after their divorces. The results were surprising.
Divorcing after decades of marriage
Issues like property divisions, child support, child custody and alimony are an integral part of the divorce process. However, how long the couple has been married can have a significant impact on how some of the issues are handled. Those divorcing after many years of marriage often have established extremely commingled finances and may not even know where to begin when it comes to dividing them.

Chipper Jones, Atlanta Braves All-Star third baseman, is one of the most recognizable and respected names in Major League Baseball. His numerous records, awards, and statistics spanning over 15 years has assured his place in Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame. Not only has his fame and popularity for his accomplishments on the baseball diamond brought him many awards and accolades, but his passion for hunting and love for the outdoors is fast becoming more embedded into America's perspective when one hears the name "Chipper Jones".
As co-owner of Major League Bowhunter, Chipper also works alongside his good friends Jeff & Duff as a host of the show, sharing his knowledge and experience as an accomplished bowhunter. His enthusiasm in the outdoors comes across not only on camera, but in the inner workings of the day to day business of the company.
Chipper has four sons, Matthew, Trey, Tristen, and Shea, and a step-son, Bryson, with his wife, Taylor.
"Bowhunting is the ultimate and I find so many similarities with baseball in that you can always learn new things that can improve your odds of success if you just soak up all the knowledge you can and learn from all your experiences!"
Matt Duff is a former Major League Baseball pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. He grew up in Alligator, Mississippi, along the banks of the Mississippi river. Matt grew up hunting deer, ducks and turkeys with his father, who Matt credits for making him into the avid outdoorsman he is today. Matt particularly took a liking to bow hunting at an early age and now that the sun has set on his 13 year Professional Baseball career, Matt has taken his passion for bow hunting into the hunting industry as a business owner and outdoor TV personality.
Matt is married to world renown pistol shooter, Jessie Duff. Jessie has won both world and national championship titles, included among them are the prestigious Bianchi Cup and the Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships. As an owner and co-host of Major League Bowhunter, Matt spends time working on business aspects for the company as well as time in the field chasing big whitetails.
"I was raised on a farm, where I could be found juggling the farm responsibilities, playing sports in school, and hunting. I was introduced into hunting by my father, Homer Adams, at an early age. I honed my hunting skills by trial and error, and shooting competitive archery. I've since been very fortunate to harvest many mature bucks across the country and also have made great friends along the way.
Being in the hunting industry since 2006 has taught me many things about the art of filming outdoor adventures. My favorite part of the whole process is putting the hunts together and telling a story in post production. Along with having over 10 years of field production experience, I've also been producing and editing outdoor television shows since 2010 including every episode of Major League Bowhunter.
I married my wife, Brianne, in the spring of 2009, and we have two beautiful daughters, Addison Rae and Brooke Kaylynn. I thank them so much for allowing me to pursue my passion, and believe it or not, I love them more than hunting. I'm grateful they are just as passionate about me coming home with a big buck as I am!"

When you go to 40-plus concerts a year, it is not often that you are surprised.
Some are life-altering and some are disappointing but most are a pleasant way to spend an evening. The very best scenario is having your expectations transformed into something altogether more interesting.
Wednesday night's concert, the last concert of the Kitchener Waterloo Symphony's Back to Baroque series, did precisely that. did precisely that.
The concert opened with the ubiquitous Canon in D by Pachelbel, a piece that has about as much artistic merit as a cameraphone snap of the neighbour's cat. Alain Trudel, conductor of the soon-to-be-defunct CBC Radio Orchestra, did a remarkable job of making something out of nothing. Phrases were nicely shaped and the sprightly tempo gave the forward momentum the piece desperately needs. The rarely played Gigue that accompanies the Canon provided a nice balance.
Horn concertos are played far less often than they should be but, on this night, we were spoiled for choice. The first one, played by the symphony's principal horn Martin Limoges was the lovely Horn Concerto in D major (TWV 51:D8) by Telemann. The first and last movements are jolly enough but the real gem of the concerto is the largo. It is, for all intents and purposes, an opera aria perched at the very top of the horn's range. There is no room for error in this part of the instrument and Limoges triumphed with beautifully expressive tone to boot.
Georg Muffat's concerto grosso Cors Vigilans was relatively unremarkable, with the last movement allegro the most interesting of the bunch. Its weak beat accents gave the whole thing the feeling of walking on land after spending a long time at sea.
Limoges returned with second horn Katherine Robertson, for Telemann's Concerto for 2 Horns in D (TWV 52:D2). The thematic material is significantly less interesting than the first concerto, likely because it was written for amateur players more accustomed to chasing foxes than playing indoors with an orchestra. Nevertheless, it was lovely to hear Robertson in a solo capacity. Her sound is focused but warm in all parts of the horn and it is a shame we don't get to hear more of it.
In the first movement of W.F. Bach's Sinfonia in F major, Trudel opted for an approach that highlighted the silences. It was a good idea in theory, the effect, however, was somewhat spoiled by sloppy ensemble. The andante is overlong but Trudel's emphasis on beautifully shaped phrases kept it interesting and his efforts to emphasize the rests here were more successful. The third and fourth movements are extremely pleasant, making the whole Sinfonia well worth a trip to the record shop.
J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 (BWV 1046) could well be called, without much exaggeration, the third horn concerto of the evening. Scored for strings, two horns, three oboes and bassoon, the Concerto is a marvel of Baroque orchestration.
Horns, oboes and strings are treated as separate voices, which, for technical reasons having to do with the original instruments not having any valves, means the horns have to spend a significant amount of time in the stratosphere. The piece is notoriously difficult but Limoges and Robertson were up to the challenge, shining brightly in the last movement. James Mason, Richard Dorsey, Faith Levene and Cedric Coleman also distinguished themselves in the first trio of final movement, scored only for three oboes and bassoon.
The ensemble suffered in the second movement, perhaps due to Trudel's eschewing of a baton, but overall, the piece was full of life and an exciting finale for the Back to Baroque season.
Note to local readers: Subscriptions for the 2008/09 Baroque and Beyond Series are available now.

Fish Soup – Prepared with variety types of fish and very fresh shrimps with some potatoes and carrots. It tastes very clear and it makes me feel healthy too!
Here comes the pastas. There were six types of pastas served. First, Pasta Chicken al Limone, with the chicken cubes being marinated with lemon juice and white wine, some capsicums, herbs, carrot and also chopped parsley topping up with parmesan cheese. You will be able to taste the lemon juice in every bite when you sink your teeth on the chicken cube. Its a little sourish and yes, I like it!
Pasta Salcissia – Served with pork sausages which are homemade, topping up with fresh tomatoes. Did I ever tell you am a big fan of fresh tomatoes? Thats when you get to enjoy the freshness of the juice squirt in your mouth.
Pasta Como – The highlight of this dish would be goat cheese and white wine, bacon with some cut chillis. The taste of this dish was brought up by the natural taste of the individual ingredient used. I would say, its a perfect combination.
Pasta Salmon – Fresh salmons and mustard cream sauce.Brings out the freshness of the salmon. Its really important when it comes to fish. Once its not fresh, it will ruin your dish.
Pasta Sardella – Anchovies, fresh tomatoes, capers and olive oil. It is served at the right degree of moisture. Pastas do not taste good when its dry.
Pizza Gorgonzola with Pears – Simple and awesome! Basil and blue cheese would be the core of this dish. First time having pears heated up and it taste too good to be true!
Pizza Parma Ham – It does amaze me when the pizzas came in oval. I have seen those in square or commonly looking which is round but not an oval one for sure. Rocket salad, parmesan cheese and ham would be the main contributor to this dish. Every bite taste like zenith.
Enjoying the best noms with a good friend. We spread happiness, don't we?
The magic touch on the Tiramisu! The chef made his own mascarpone cream for this Tiramisu. As it melts in the mouth, thats when you gotta taste the sweet wine and I have been recommending to my friends that the best Tiramisu you can get in Penang would be this one!
Cappuccino Panna Cotta, its a type of Italian pudding. For a coffee addict like me, I'll definitely love it 🙂

Disambiguation: If you're trying write your own application that creates an AVI file from bitmaps, you want the BmpToAvi DLL instead.
BmpToAvi converts a folder containing bitmaps (BMP files) to an AVI video file. It's built on the BmpToAvi DirectShow filter DLL, and doesn't use VfW so there's no 2GB limit. The bitmaps must be numbered sequentially, e.g. 000000.bmp, 000001.bmp, etc. Any number of bitmaps can be converted. Note that the bitmaps must all have the same attributes, i.e. frame size and bits per pixel. The application checks for inconsistent attributes and/or missing frames before the conversion begins.
Download BmpToAvi converter
The download contains the following items:
To run BmpToAvi, you must have previously registered the BmpToAvi filter, otherwise you will get the error, "Can't create BmpToAvi filter, Class not registered". Use the batch file reg.bat to register the filter, and use unreg.bat to unregister it. Also note that BmpToAvi.dll must reside in the same folder as the application.
The BmpToAvi application and its sources are free software under the GNU General Public License.

It wasn't too long ago when flower crowns ruled the festival circuit as the hair accessory of choice (and before then, the unfortunate popularity of Native American headdresses among festival-goers). Thankfully, we have come a long way from just plopping on some flowers on top of our head or, more importantly, appropriating cultures. Since then, festival hair has gotten so much more creative and playful, giving attendees the license to not only express themselves however they want, but go bigger and bolder than they've ever gone before (because when else can you really rock both glitter and rainbow hues in your hair at the same time?).
While bold highlighters and shimmery eye shadows definitely still played parts in people's festival looks, it was clear that the spotlight was on everyone's hair. This past Coachella weekend, it was all about color, glitter, and texture — or, as we're calling it, KiraKira hair. We saw everything from vibrant, holographic buns to intricately woven braids full of sparkle. The best part? Not only are they fairly easy to recreate at home, but they can be toned down for a more wearable, everyday hairstyle for summer.
Here are five eye-catching KiraKira hair looks that ruled Coachella. You will undoubtedly be seeing them everywhere this upcoming summer and throughout the rest of the festival season.
1. Braided Lights
Festival attendees were seen emerging from the Sephora tent at Coachella with lights flashing from their braids. How does it work? All you need is a little bit of dry shampoo, some texturizing spray, and a tiny string of LED lights. Bumble and Bumble, the brand behind the look, is calling it "galaxy hair."
To create the super "lit" braided look, Bumble and Bumble stylists first used Tres Invisible Dry Shampoo, which is a two-in-one style extender and dry shampoo to add some grit and some texture. Next, they applied Dryspun, which adds airy fullness and lots of volume. Adding volume and texture is really important to the look, whether you want a side braid or a simple braided crown. It allows you to more seamlessly weave in the LED lights while also hiding the string in your hair.
2. Multi-colored Designs
While this star-studded look might seem complicated at first glance, it might actually be one of the easiest trends you can recreate yourself. All you need are stencils and some temporary color hair spray, like Hush's Prism Airbrush Spray.
Hush has seven different shades made with kaleidoscope pigments that go on super pigmented and prismatic, without making your strands feel crunchy, and wash out of your hair easily when you're over your look.
Pick a stencil shape and a color (or two) and spray — that's it!
3. Glitter Beach Waves
If you're not really into color or complicated braids or updos, fear not — effortless, tousled waves can also be glam and festive with a little help from some glitter spray.
IGK's Preparty Hair Strobing Glitter Spray diffuses light for a subtle, luminous hair glow, whether you've got light or dark hair. All you have to do is lightly spray the product through your hair, like you would hair spray, until you've achieved the level of shimmer that you want. Oh, and don't worry about having glitter stuck in your hair forever — this stuff washes out super easily.
4. Textured, Voluminous Braids & Ponytails
Give a little more oomph to your usual braids and ponytails by adding more volume and texture, like this one created by Amika stylist and pro educator Amanda Elaine.
Adding body and grit to your hair before you braid it or put it in a ponytail will help your style last longer, while also delivering a more dramatic, festival-friendly look.
5. Holographic Buns
Coachella 2018 would not have existed without sparkly space buns, like these worn on professional makeup artist Lauren Alayne. This fun hairstyle makes such a statement, you don't even have to worry about your outfit since the hair definitely steals the show — especially if you add some holographic color.
This holographic hair foam from IGK quickly absorbs into your hair, adding a soft glittered hue that shifts colors as your hair moves in the light. Add it just to your hair buns or go crazy and apply it all over your hair, because why not?


text: panzafit #1 Posted June 25, 2019 My daughter just received a Royal UP acceptance which moved her from an interior room at the front of the ship (8549) to a Boardwalk Balcony room (14707). I just noticed her new room seems to be under the basketball courts. I was wondering what the noise would be like from this room. Obviously going from an interior to a balcony room is a definate upgrade, just not sure if I need to tell her to bring ear plugs. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, it looks like we're going to have to find a new summer fix when it comes to treats as dark as our souls. That's right, New York City has now banned the use of activated charcoal in food and drinks.
Read more: Apparently goth toilet paper is a thing you can buy
That means no more goth lemonade, goth wine, goth lattes, or goth ice cream, as activated charcoal is the base ingredient causing the coloration we know and love.
We're only crying a little…okay, a lot.
Though activated charcoal was first thought to be good for the body, with the ingredient being added to waters and juices for detox, the Department of Health (DOH) has come to bring it down.
According to Eater, the DOH says restaurants "aren't allowed to serve food with activated charcoal in it because it's prohibited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a food additive or food coloring agent."
Popular cafes serving the black treats have been hit hard by the unforeseen law, Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream and Round K (Matte Black Latte) both forced to have their coconut ash, a type of activated charcoal, dumped or confiscated.
Luckily Round K was able to bounce back quite quickly, introducing the "Matte Black 2," which replaces the charcoal with coffee beans roasted until blackened.
Luckily, activated charcoal has yet to be banned in other big cities like Los Angeles, so you may just have to change your travel plans to get those Instagram worthy shots.
Do you think activated charcoal should be banned in food and drinks? Let us know in the comments!

African Americans arrested at Starbucks sign symbolic one dollar agreement
The controversial arrest of two African-Americans in a Starbucks store last month in Philadelphia, whose image went viral, was resolved in that city by a symbolic dollar and a promise to establish a program dedicated to young entrepreneurs. The two African-Americans, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson, whom the cafeteria chain accused of staying in one of them without consuming anything, accepted a dollar of compensation in exchange for Philadelphia investing 200 thousand dollars in programs for young entrepreneurs, according to a statement issued the company itself on Wednesday.
The men and their lawyer stated that "the agreement is an effort to make sure that something positive comes out of the incident." "I am pleased to have resolved the possible claims against the city in this productive way," said Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney. "This was an incident that caused a lot of pain in our city and put us under the national focus for unwanted reasons," he said.
For his part, the president of Starbucks, Kevin Johnson, thanked in the statement to Donte and Rashon "for their willingness to be reconciled." "I appreciate the opportunity to start a relationship with them to share learning and experiences, Starbucks will continue taking measures derived from this incident to repair and reaffirm our values and our vision of the type of company we want to be," said the executive.
Nelson said that "he considers the incident a case of being in the wrong place at the right time, due to the result that can be obtained." He and his partner will have the opportunity to contribute information based on their personal experience to the former US Attorney General, Eric Holder, as part of the company's long-term diversity and equity efforts. The company has also offered them the opportunity to complete their university degrees with a scholarship through the Starbucks University Achievement Plan, an agreement with Arizona State University, available only to Starbucks members.
The entrepreneurship program, on the other hand, is aimed at students at public high schools in Philadelphia. Nelson and Robinson will participate in the design of the program but will not receive money from this fund, the mayor's office said in a statement. The US multinational announced earlier that it would close one afternoon the more than 8,000 stores it has in the country to provide an educational session to its nearly 175,000 workers, a course that, it said, will become part of the process to undertake new hires.
The decision came days after Donte and Rashon were arrested in one of their premises in Philadelphia when the manager called the police because they were sitting in the cafeteria without consuming, although the two men argued that they were waiting for another companion to ask. The record of the arrest which sparked a strong controversy in the United States because of the issue of racial profiling will be deleted as part of the deal. Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson moved to Philadelphia to apologize to the men in person.

Actor In Law is an upcoming Pakistani film directed by Nabeel Qureshi and produced by Fiza Ali Meerza. These were the two individuals who were behind the film Na Maloom Afrad too. The cast, the director and producer talked to the press about their upcoming venture but not much was revealed about the plot or the story of the film. The film casts Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat in lead roles. This film will mark the debut of Indian actor Om Puri in Pakistani films. The rest of the cast includes names like Rehan Sheikh, Saifee, Aly Khan and Rashid Khawaja.
While talking about the film Fahad Mustafa said,
"Na Maloom Afraad was the ice breaker and now this movie is going to be a hit again in Pakistani cinema. It's a very important film for my career."
Mehwish Hayat also revealed a little something about her character saying,
"All I can say is that I'm playing a very challenging role, different from all the characters I have previously played. I'm very grateful to the team for casting me in such a unique role."
Om Puri is very happy with working in Pakistan. Talking about working in Pakistan he said,
"I really like working in Pakistan, because I'm pampered a lot here. I keep responding to people's salaams from morning to night. So many people want to throw me a dinner party at their house. And everyone wants a selfie."
Om Puri was expecting the people of Pakistan to be very welcoming because he said,
"I've known Pakistanis abroad for about 20 years. I have always received love from them, so much so that it's hard to believe that there are conflicts between our two countries. I pray that we find our way to peace and both countries work towards progress, friendship and trade."
Here are some pictures from the launch of the film.


text: Orange Crush 276 Report post Posted September 20, 2018 Anyone done the 2-tank Nassau dive offered through Royal Caribbean? I think it's actually run by Stuart Cove, but it's a different schedule than what you can book directly through them to accommodate the ship's itinerary. It's $194 per person on cruise planner and I haven't seen it budge all the time I've been watching. It's high, but not insanely so, and we wouldn't mind spending the money if it's a really great experience, but we wanted to hear what people who have actually gone on it have experienced. We're definitely doing the Coco Cay dive, so I'm sure we'll meet some other divers on the ship who did the Nassau dive and can tell us about it, but that'll be after we've left Nassau.

|Destination: Oak Creek/Wilson's Pimple Loop Hike
Distance from Point of Origin: 27 miles..
Estimated (One Way) Travel Time: 35-40 minutes.
Directions: From the Stratosphere Casino, take a right onto Las Vegas Blvd south (the Strip) to Sahara Ave. Turn right onto West Sahara Ave (NV-589) and continue to follow W. Sahara Ave for 10 miles until it turns into Desert Foothills Drive. Continue on for about 4.5 miles and turn left onto NV-159 W. Charleston Blvd. Continue to follow West Charleston Blvd NV-159 (which becomes aka Blue Diamond Road) west for about 9 miles and turn right to the trailhead and parking area (Fig. 02). Note: The trailhead can be reached from the south by driving west on Hwy 160 (Pahrump Highway) to Highway 159 (Blue Diamond Road). Turn right onto Highway 159 and drive north for about 7 miles, passing the entrance to Spring Mountain Ranch and the trailhead for First Creek. The next parking area on the left is the trailhead for Wilson's Pimple Peak hike.
Area Description: From the hike's trailhead located on the west side of West Charleston Blvd, this pleasant 3.5-mile R/T hike crosses Red Rock Valley to the base of Mt. Wilson and back. As this hike runs across the desert valley floor, it transverses a variety of desert habitats (including Blackbrush Flats, typical Mojave Desert Scrub, and Pinyon-Juniper Woodland).
Special Attraction or Point of Interest: Hiking to the top of the peak. It is reached using an old mining road and a steep use-trail. From the peak, there are grand views that spread out across the vast expanse of Red Rock Valley. Facing west is the towering east face of Mt. Wilson and Rainbow Mountain. Mt. Wilson is so close, it almost feels like you can reach out and touch it. In summary, Wilson's Pimple Peak provides a surprisingly scenic view for such a low summit.
Primary Activity: Hiking, Birding and Photography.
Secondary Activities: None.
Elevation: The elevation at the hike trailhead is 3,739. The elevation at Wilson's Saddle is 4,152, a gain of 413 feet. From the saddle to the summit of Wilson's Peak, elevation 4,390, is another climb of 238 feet, for a total hike elevation gain of 651 feet.
Best Time To Visit: Fall, Winter and Spring.
Hike Description: The Wilson's Pimple Loop Trail runs north and then west, eventually running up a canyon along the base of Wilson's Pimple and climbing onto a spot known as the Wilson Saddle. Once you reach the saddle you can take a .04 mile detour to the top of Wilson's Pimple Peak or continue the hike that runs around the back of Wilson's Pimple (aka Potato Knoll) to Oak Creek. It the follows the Riparian Woodland downstream along the far side of Wilson's Pimple, and finally loops back across desert flats back to the trailhead (Fig.02).
Difficulty: The majority of the trail across Red Rock Valley is relative easy. However, the climb to the summit and the hike around the "pimple" can be considered moderate..
Facilities: None
Estimated Round-trip Time: The complete round-trip hike, including the hike up and down to the peak, is about 4.3 miles and will take about 2.5 hours, depending upon how much time you want to spend taking pictures and enjoying the solitude and beauty of the surrounding area.

12/22/2015 Trip Notes: This past week, Blake Smith, Robert Croke and I decided to drive out to Red Rock Canyon to hike the Oak Creek trail to Wilson's Pimple (Fig. 02). Even though the weather was discouraging, cloudy and windy, we still managed to have a good hike. The picture in (Fig. 01) was taken from the parking area at the Trailhead. The tan hill in the center, between the two cacti, is Wilson's Pimple. After walking through a barbed-wire fence, you walk down an old road towards and area that was the original Red Rock Campground. You then come to a heavy metal gate at the end of the Red Rock Wash. Looking left and right at the wash you can see a lot of desert willow and shrub life oak and other vegetation that provides a good habitat for desert birds. From here the narrow old road is quite rock in places as it runs northwest across the desert flats. About halfway out, the picture (Fig.03) of Bob and Blake was looking back toward the trailhead with the Blue Diamond Hills in the background. The vegetation through this area is filled with Blackbrush, Buckhorn Cholla, plus some Mojave Yucca and Joshua Trees. As we hike some more, Willson's Pimple began to loom larger as it stood at the base of Mt. Wilson (left) and Rainbow Mountain (right). Eventually you reach a fork in the rocky old dirt road. Here turn left and follow the narrow dirt road up a hillside. Keep staying left up an open canyon on the south side of Wilson's Pimple until you reach the top of the Wilson's Saddle (Fig. 05). On the right you can see the start of the .4 mile trail that begins its 238-foot accent up to the top of the hill (Fig. 02). Unfortunately, it was so windy when we got here, we decided that there was no way we were going to attempt it on this visit. Now that we were now higher in the canyon, the vegetation began to change, with more Utah Juniper, Cliffrose, and Mojave Yucca becoming more common. From here we decided to continue to follow the loop trail down into the valley towards Ash Creek and around Wilson's Pimple. (con't below)

|(Fig. 05)
Notes con't: The next picture (Fig.06) was taken looking east, back at the trail that led up to the saddle with the Blue Diamond Hills in the distance. From Wilson's Saddle, the trail began to descend rapidly towards Oak Creek (Fig. 07). You can see Bob leading the way in front of Blake and myself (Fig. 08). The view in (Fig.09) was looking back up the trail towards the saddle. Reaching a halfway point around the 'Pimple', we got a nice view looking north toward the Calico Hills of Red Rock Canyon (Fig. 10). At the bottom of the ravine the trail split; to the left and up into Oak Creek Canyon, and right down toward the creek. After a short distance we found a nice big flat boulder (Fig. 11) where we stopped to enjoyed a picnic lunch with a great view (Fig 12). Just a few hundred feet beyond this spot we crossed the creek for the first time. After hiking uphill from the creek for several hundred yards on the north side of the creek, the trail then started to descend once again down to the creek where we had to cross over to the south side once again. See the pictures in the collage in (Fig. 13). We were all amazed at how much water there was in the creek this time of year. We would all love to hike this again in the spring after the winter snow melts. There is so much vegetation here, we are sure that the area surrounding the creek would be abundance with spring blossoms and wild flowers. Once back on the south side of the creek, we followed the loop trail along the base of Wilson's Pimple through the heavy vegetation (Fig. 14) and then another old dirt road that ran southeast out across the valley floor back to the trailhead (Fig. 15). Except for the winds, it was a great day with many outstanding mountain views (Fig. 16).

The Drinking Water Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) program identifies environmental contaminants for which current health-based standards currently do not exist or need to be updated, investigate the potential for human exposure to these chemicals, and develop guidance values for drinking water. Contaminants evaluated by CEC staff include contaminants that have been released or detected in Minnesota waters (surface water and groundwater) or that have the potential to migrate to or be detected in Minnesota waters.
The lack of sewage treatment in many small communities in Southeast Minnesota is causing surface water and groundwater pollution. Ten of these small communities will be the target of the technical assistance provided by this project. These communities have community or individual straight pipes which are discharging raw sewage directly into the environment, surfacing sewage, or have sewage contaminating groundwater.
