Teenager finds 7.44 carat diamond in Arkansas state park



A teenager has found a 7.44 carat diamond at a state park in southwestern Arkansas.
Officials at Crater of Diamonds State Park at Murfreesboro say the rock found Saturday by 14-year-old Kalel Langford is the seventh largest found since the park was established in 1972. The park hasn't provided an estimate of the diamond's value.
The teen said in a statement Thursday that he spotted the diamond among rocks near a stream. He has named it "Superman's Diamond" and plans to keep it as a souvenir.
Park interpreter Waymon Cox describes the diamond as pinto-bean sized and similar in color to coffee.
The largest diamond ever discovered in the United States, the 40.23 carat "Uncle Sam," was unearthed on the land in 1924.

The Black Barbies Of Instagram

In January, Lira Galore  posted a video to Instagram  of her unbound hair: all 28 mesmerizing inches of it, slipping past the model and self-styled influencer’s heart-shaped backside like ink. The caption: “Hair Slay Of Life” punctuated by two fire emoji. The video featured no music, but Galore’s measurements — 36 x 26 x 44 — rang as clear as any song. Still, the post was not without its share of critics: one user commented, “Keep walking them streets to get that money.” A couple of hours before Galore posted this video for her 3.3 million followers, we were on FaceTime. “I think a woman should be able to do what she wants,” she told me. “Black women are sexy. Our hair, our skin, our bodies. We’ve always been classy enough.” Her skin is poreless, with high cheekbones and a chiseled jaw — features you’d see in a high-fashion magazine.
