HP today announced that it has refreshed its entire Pavilion x360 series and the new notebooks come with new Intel processors as well as support for pen input. An optional IR camera is being offered as well which will enable users to take advantage of the Windows Hello feature of Windows 10.

HP Pavilion x360 series is now available in 11.6, 14, and 15.6 inch sizes. Some of you may have noticed that HP has decided to discontinue the 13.3 inch model.

It’s going to charge $399 for the base model of the 11.6 inch version which is powered by an Intel Pentium N4200 processor coupled with 4GB of RAM and 500GB 5400 rpm SATA had drive.

Those who want more power will be better off with the larger Pavilion x360 models. The 14 inch and 15.6 inch models come with options for Core i3, Core i5, and even Core i7 processors with high-resolution displays and support for SSDs. There’s even a USB Type-C port in these models.

The normal Pavilion series has been updated as well. The specifications are similar to the x360 series but the Pavilion also gets options for AMD processors in its 14, 15, and 17 inch flavors.

Prices for the new notebooks start at $600 and go up quite a bit depending on the configuration that the customer opts for. HP is going to start shipping these new notebooks within a few weeks.

The emotional implications of being a black man in America are wide-ranging and complex, but notions of black masculinity have long hampered potential dialogue on this experience. 

#BlackBoyFeelings, which was released last Friday, is an anthology that unabashedly abandons the idea that black men shouldn’t be in tune with their emotions. The book is a collection of nearly 100 poems, essays, photos and art submissions from everyday black men expressing their feelings on everything from police brutality and assumptions that they’re poor romantic partners to the death of Prince. 

One of the book’s co-creators, Richard Bryan, a recent Colgate University graduate and Brooklyn native, said limited emotional outlets for black men can lead to self-destructive concepts of masculinity. 

“There is very little space for black men to genuinely show emotion and vulnerability,” Bryan told The Huffington Post earlier this week. “And this has led to an outpouring of toxic masculinity and a tendency to avoid addressing very real trauma.”

“I think the tendency is to lean toward apathy or to somehow try to numb the experience rather than working through the struggles,” he continued. 

Readers of #BlackBoyFeelings will find at least one antidote to this dearth of emotional outlets throughout the 218-page book. 

But you don’t have to be a man to know the importance of creating room for black men to express themselves. 

Bryan co-created the book with his friend and The New School senior Jeana Lindo. 

“As a woman, I want men to feel comfortable embracing the feminine parts of their nature and be more in tune with sensitivity and being nurturing,” she told HuffPost.

“Men are super-sensitive, yet unwilling to embrace their feelings and confront them within themselves and among their peers,” she said. 

Lindo was the one who incidentally coined the book’s title.

“I had gotten a haircut from a new barber and sent Jeana a text with something to the effect of ‘When you get a better line-up from a new barber and you feel like you’re cheating on your old one.’ To which she replied ‘#blackboyfeelings,’” Bryan recalled. 

“Upon seeing that, something immediately clicked in my brain and I called her up and was like, ‘Hey, we’ve gotta collect some more feelings and run with this,’” he said.

Lindo said the two recruited submissions for the book through friends, social media callouts and street encounters. Once submissions began coming in, Bryan said he was in awe of the response rate. 

“The depth and breadth of the submissions just reaffirmed the mission and the importance of what we’re trying to do,” he said. 

Bryan and Lindo want black men to know it’s OK to accept their emotions and vulnerabilities. 

“I honestly don’t think most black men even acknowledge that they’re in need of healing, much less actively seeking methods to take care of themselves,” Bryan said. “Hopefully, just reading the book and seeing the sentiments shared can help people on the path to greater self-care.”

The two are also looking to combat stereotypes while they’re at it.

“The main misconception facing black men is that we’re all scary or violent,” Bryan said. “That we’re only either perpetrators of or victims of crime. Or that we’re all entertainers or ball players.”

“This work was created in order to combat these types of tropes that have been … proliferated for literally hundreds of years now,” he said.

In other words, buck a stereotype and heal yourself.

What happens when Ed Sheeran shows up to a local Galway, Ireland, bar to shoot a video? 

Well, judging from all the photos that surfaced on Twitter, the whole city tries to get in on the action.

On Tuesday, Sheeran was at a pub shooting the video for his song “Galway Girl” (fitting). The doors were reportedly closed to the public, but that didn’t stop people from crowding around and trying to spot the star.

According to one person on Twitter, people were even singing his songs in the streets. Another quipped, “Ed Sheeran going to a pub and leaving out the back door is the most exciting thing that has happened to Galway in a long time.” 

When he left the bar, Sheeran made sure to show some love to the fans who stopped by. He shared a photo of a huge group of people on Instagram, writing, “Thank you to Galway and all the wonderful people in it for helping us shoot a music video yesterday.”

And now we wait for the video.
