Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales welcomes a new cast member!
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, is about to add an unexpected cast member to their list. Paul McCartney is the newest member being added to the pirate gang. Although it has not been confirmed on what his role will be, we are sure that he will be joining Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa, Javier Bardem as the villainous Captain Salazar, Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario as new characters, and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner.
There has been a 6 year hiatus for these pirates but they will return to the big screen on May 26, 2017. Fans have become very anxious for this movie to have an official start date, especially since Disney has postponed it several times. This means that in a year from now, you will be able to see Captain Jack Sparrow take the high seas. This time his antagonist will come in the form of the deadly Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem). After managing to escape the Devil’s Triangle with his crew, Salazar takes on a mission to kill every pirate alive… and that most definitely includes Captain Jack. Geoffrey Rush, Kevin McNally, Martin Klebba will all be back for another round of adventure, but the big return is Orlando Bloom, who will reprise his role as Will Turner. Joining the series for Dead Men Tell No Tales will also be The Giver star Brenton Thwaites and The Maze Runner’s Kaya Scodelario. Now it is time to see how Sir Paul McCartney will fit into this mix.
Calling all Starbucks lovers!
Calling all Starbucks lovers! Starbucks might be known for having the best coffee and pastries in the game but they are actually known for much more than that. Through countless campaigns and programs, Starbucks is always coming up with new ways to give back to the community. This newest project is making Baristas everywhere rejoice! This is because the company will now be donating any surplus ready-to-eat meals to local food banks. This includes all 7,600 Starbucks stores in the U.S.
In the first year of this program, Starbucks will provide 5 million meals to families and individuals that are in need. Over the next five years, Starbucks intends to grow the program and expand to 100 percent of available food to be donated which will reach 50 million people by 2021. This highly anticipated program will affect local communities in countless ways. “Almost 50 million Americans or one in six people live in households that struggle to afford food, according to Feeding America.” Now all perfectly good and unopened protein plates and sandwiches that were simply thrown out before will now get to be enjoyed by people who really need it.

“Fuller House” is about to become even more full!
“Fuller House” is about to become more full with the renewal of season two. This Netflix revival series is a spin-off of the original “Full House”. It took 20 years to make this revival series possible but once it launched, it took only less than a week for the renewal of season two to be determined.
The current season of “Fuller House” is centered around the Tanner siblings. In this season since Mary- Kate and Ashley Olsen who portrayed the character of Michelle have not signed on, their neighbor Kimmy Gibbler has replaced her. But that is not to say that Michelle will not return for season two. The Tanner siblings are all grown up and facing many different situations including DJ becoming a widow and raising three sons, Kimmy`s crazy roller coaster life including romance and divorce. And also including Stephanie and her pursuit to start a career as a DJ and singer while being one of the most entertaining aunts.
The way that season one leaves off is with open- ended episodes and several cliffhangers, which is the perfect way to introduce season two. It is time for `90s fans to rejoice as your favorite family is back for another season full of puns, comical moments and the craziness of the Tanner household.

To unlock or not unlock, that is the question!
How would you feel if your iPhone was unlocked? It would probably make you feel like your privacy was invaded. But would you feel differently if the protection of privacy rights were revoked due to the safety of the general public? This is currently one of the issues occurring between Apple and the United States government. This debate has occurred on other occasions but is being brought to the service one more time. This time in response to the San Bernardino families request. The incident that occurred in California was at the Inland Regional Center on December 2nd, 2015. At this time there was an office party going on and 14 people were killed due to a terror attack involving the spraying of gunfire. Mark Sandefeur is one of the victim`s father and he is not giving in on this ongoing battle.
There are many ways to look at this issue but what it comes down to is, the decision to unlock a deceased terrorists phone or keep it locked due to privacy laws. One way of looking at this current issue is that there may be content in the phone that can lead to new information such as contacts and even other planned events. “Recovery of information from the iPhone in question may not lead to anything new. But, what if there is evidence pointing to a third shooter? What if it leads to an unknown terrorist cell?” This was stated by Sandefur in a letter to Apple’s chief executive. Mark Sandefeur is not the only one acting against this issue, there has been several attempts at getting the FBI to join with Apple to prevent these tragedies. Since this is such an in-depth issue, this debate is still on going.
The other way that this is being looked at is if this phone is unlocked then where does it stop? Since it is technically an invasion of privacy, once it is done once then who knows where it will stop.
Although both sides have several valid points, what side do you take? How would you feel if your phone was invaded? Or do you feel it is different since it is a safety issue?
