President Joe Biden's Department of Defense has awarded EcoHealth Alliance a $3 million multi-year grant, despite the company's connections to the Wuhan lab that likely caused the pandemic.
The Department of Defense's (DOD) $3 million funding of EcoHealth Alliance began on December 12, 2022, and will end on December 11, 2025, according to USA Spending, the official source for the U.S. government's spending data.
The grant will reportedly be used by EcoHealth Alliance to "reduce the threat of viral spillover from wildlife in the Philippines."
According to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA), otherwise known as Assistance Listings, the funding is part of scientific research that is aimed at "combatting weapons of mass destruction."
The program's objective is to "support and stimulate basic, applied, and advanced research at educational or research institutions, non-profit organizations, and commercial firms, which support the advancement of fundamental knowledge and understanding of the sciences with an emphasis on exploring new and innovative research for combating or countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)."
EcoHealth Alliance's grant was given directly by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), an agency within the DOD.
The DTRA's stated mission is to "provide cross-cutting solutions to enable the Department of Defense, the United States Government, and international partners to Deter strategic attack against the United States and its allies; Prevent, reduce, and counter WMD and emerging threats; and Prevail against WMD-armed adversaries in crisis and conflict."
According to further data from USA Spending, EcoHealth Alliance has been receiving U.S. taxpayer dollars since 2008.
https://t.co/hBujcD6PyW reports that EcoHealth Alliance, despite possibly having caused the pandemic and definitely having repeatedly and gravely violated terms of a US-government grant, currently has 12 active US-government grants and contracts, totaling more than $34 million. https://t.co/XZ7m53Mr1g pic.twitter.com/HZ4Tb6K7Gn

The company was given nearly $25 million by the U.S. government in 2020. The total amount of funding for EcoHealth Alliance over the years amounts to roughly $79.4 million, nearly 48% of which came from the DTRA for the purpose of "combatting weapons of mass destruction."
The DTRA has reportedly provided more than 52% of EcoHealth Alliance's total funding coming from the U.S. government.
This $3 million grant isn't the only funding given to EcoHealth Alliance last year, as Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) also provided $3.3 million in funding in September 2022, which is to be used over five years.
Meanwhile, EcoHealth Alliance has been accused of carrying out gain-of-function experiments at the lab in Wuhan, China.

NORAD Santa tracker will stay on even if the government shuts down - Curated
NORAD Santa tracker will stay on even if the government shuts down
For more than 60 years, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, better known as NORAD, and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa's flight around the world on December 24.
And it will continue this year, even if there's a government shutdown, the operations center said Friday in a tweet.
In the event of a government shutdown, NORAD will continue with its 63-year tradition of NORAD Tracks Santa on Dec. 24. Military personnel who conduct NORAD Tracks Santa are supported by approximately 1,500 volunteers who make the program possible each and every year. pic.twitter.com/fY0oyjrdDc
— NORAD & USNORTHCOM (@Norad_Northcom) December 21, 2018
The NORAD Santa tracker is supported by some 1,500 volunteers who staff telephones and computers to answer calls and e-mails from children (and adults) from around the world, according to NORAD.
People can get live updates through the NORAD Tracks Santa website, which is available in seven languages, over telephone lines and by e-mail. There are even live updates on Twitter.
You can follow along here too.
The tradition all began over a misprinted phone number in an advertisement in the local paper. The ad said, "Hey, Kiddies! Call me direct and be sure and dial the correct number.� When a young child called that December 24, in 1955, it went to the CONAD operations center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Colonel Harry Shoup, who was on duty that night, answered the phone. It wouldn't be the first child who called that night. Shoup had his operators find the location of Santa Claus and reported it to every child who phoned in, kicking off what would become an annual tradition.

The Pens take on the Wild today! Today the Pens gave free tickets to the kids for this game! I think that is just awesome of the Pens organization to do that. The starting lineup for the Pens is Tango, Nick Johnson, and Ryan Craig up front, Brain Strait and Z on defense and Thiessen is in the net. Pens are looking good and pressuring the Wild early on. Niskanen makes a good shot from the blue line, but the Wild's goalie gets the puck, Niskanen is looking really good and I think he is a great player. Geno is looking awesome once again! Tango gets a good look, but his shot doesn't get pass the Wild's goalie. Tanger is looking great on defense and handling the puck really well. Pens get a penalty and the Wild get a penalty, some 4 on 4 hockey. Then Kuni gets a tripping penalty and the Wild go on a power play (4 on 3)! Then the Wild get a normal power play for 30 seconds! Pens successfully kill the penalty, did a great job of keeping the passing/shoting lanes blocked! Thiessen is a very active goalie, helping out his defense. Cookie gets a penalty and then the Wild start getting into Cookie's face, then there is a little scrap between the Pens and Wild. Nothing serious and the Wild go on the power play! Pens kill the penalty! Then Richard Park gets a penalty for holding! The Pens need to stop with the penalties and get back to pressuring the Wild in the offensive zone! Pens penalty kill is looking awesome and the Pens get a power play of their own. The Pens had some good looks on the power play, but didn't get a goal. The Pens looked great in the first period, hopefully we can get a goal next period.

Posted in Adventures, GMA Advice Guru on December 6, 2010 by annie zirkel.


I've been tagged by Bob over at The Doors to Everywhere! Bob is a YA author and is a member of my in-person (*gasp*) writing group, Stonehenge. He writes sci-fi adventure, wherein the kids don't just save the universe--they save one another.
I've got a dark fantasy novel, Windrider, which I'm currently in the process of revising and cleaning up. I've been describing it to people as The Other Boleyn Girl meets Breaking Bad, with dragons. I've got an urban fantasy series, Changeling Wars—the first book needs one more pass, and the second is in-progress. Sillier, lighter fare than my usual. And I'm very excited for the next epic fantasy I'm working on, entitled The Bone Shard Daughter. I've been throwing a lot of "Wouldn't it be cool if…?" ideas at it. For now, my lips are sealed! Errrr…my fingers are taped together? Hmmm…not sure the equivalent for typing…!
I wouldn't really presume to say that it's that much different. I can say that I like to deal in non-Western European fantasy, but other authors do the same. I can say that I write complex, complicated characters, but a lot of other authors do that too. I like poetic language, I like immersive description, I like worldbuilding. Again, I am not the only one.
I think the one true way in which my work is different is that it is my work. It will always be colored with my perceptions.
Is "I'm not entirely sure" an acceptable answer? I've been writing since I was a kid. I love creating stories, characters, worlds. I love reading, I love to be immersed. I guess I've always wanted to be the one on the other side, pulling the puppet strings.
I'll just cover novels, since short stories are an entirely different beast for me. I get an idea, a concept. Sometimes it's inspired by something really mundane, like Marina finding a bone shard in her Chinese food.
A lot of them die out when I realize they are DUMB, but some keep germinating.
I start researching, picking up other ideas and sticking them onto the first one. At some point, I'll usually dash out the beginning couple scenes, just to get a feel for the voice, the characters, the world. I create a character and world sheet, and add to it as I see fit, but they're usually only 1-2 pages each. Most of it, in the beginning, just grows in my head.
I daydream for at least a year before writing the outline and starting the project in earnest. This may sound like a long time, but I'm always drafting or working on something else while I'm daydreaming about the new project. I find it takes that much percolation time for the world and the characters to feel real and developed.
Completing the outline usually takes a couple weeks, and then I like to draft in a mad rush—usually a few months' time.
And then I let it sit for a bit and I procrastinate and I become a ball of anxiety about how I will NEVER be able to get the draft into shape.
I start revising. My worst fears are true. It's horrible, it's awful, I'm paralyzed by indecision and appalled at my own ineptitude. And then 1-2 weeks in, I hit my stride and start to feel like it might just work out okay. I make a list of all the things I need to change and where (lists are great and very, very calming). I change them. One day I wake up and I've got something I can send to beta readers.
That pretty much covers my process.
Matt Maxwell A writer I met at FogCon who also lives in the area. He did a reading in the same time slot as me. Very surreal, fantastical coming-of-age story.
Drew Rhodes I also met Drew at Stonehenge. He writes some very fun, funny stuff.
Richard Crawford Richard is pretty much one of my favorite writing people. Read his stuff, it's funny and creepy and awesomely weird!
Crowding in the kitchen, making all the foods.
The dinner table is almost sacred. When I was a kid, we dropped everything to sit at the dinner table together. At Christmas and Thanksgiving—times when we got together with my aunts, uncles, and cousins, dinner became a production. The adults were the foremen, corralling us kids, instructing us to cut this or grate that. I still remember my mom teaching me how to fold dumplings, how to make sure they were sealed properly so water couldn't get inside.
My sister watching in amazement as my dad shaves bonito flakes for dashi.
At the important dinners, there was always some sort of fish. Always always rice. There would be so many dishes that you could only take a sampling of each. All the kids would be banished to the children's table, where we could poke and tease each other and make fart jokes in peace. On my mother's side, there were ten of us cousins, all close in age.
Food is a part of who I am. It is memory, and culture, and family.
We then used the dashi to make chawanmushi!
I try to be conscious of this in my writing. Who is making the food? How elaborate is it? Can they procure all these ingredients in their environment, or do they import some of them? Who serves the food, and how do they eat it? Who do they sit with and are there any before or after meal activities?
I feel like these things can be so revealing, not just for a culture, but for families and individuals as well. In my current WIP, a good deal of the world is populated by the eisseth, a large, winged species. They have grasping arms, but they walk on their feet and the padded tarsals of their wings. They consider themselves culturally superior to humans. Their food reflects this—it is elaborate, multi-layered. Airy pastries, meats in wine and fruit sauces, glazes. During a diplomatic dinner, one of my eisseth characters takes a good deal of smug pleasure in pointing this out to my main character. For the eisseth, it is another justification for their invasion of human lands.
sous vide steak, miso-glazed eggplant, bacon-wrapped scallops, chawanmushi, and more...!
We had a lovely dinner on Saturday night, which took way too long to prepare, and was devoured way too quickly. My brother's girlfriend remarked that every time she comes over, it seems there is a hidden dish—something that appears at the very last minute, making the dinner even more elaborate (in this case it was sous vide steak and cabbage with sun-dried olives). We decided, through a random spinning of a knife, which of us got to pick the Star Trek: TNG episode we would all watch (my sister picked "The Inner Light") after dinner.
Getting our Star Trek on.
For us, food is a centerpiece. It is a collaborative process, something we all work on together and which we all get to enjoy. It is a reason to gather, to spend time together, and to linger in one another's company.
Bonus photo of the husband wearing the hat my mom lent to him for our afternoon hike. Because, hats. And pandas.
Update: Two of my friends have written follow-on posts. The Day I was Accidentally Racist by Tina Gower and The Day I was Accidentally Religiously Offensive by Rebecca Birch. Read on for further mortification. May we never be accidental bigots again! I was terribly shy when I was younger. I had a phone phobia, was convinced I was the most awkward person in the history of the world, and blushed when people I didn't know spoke to me.
I took Spanish in high school. I remember my teacher, Mrs. Pigage. She was tough, outspoken, and fun. I liked her, and earned good grades. On the rare occasion, I dared to raise my hand to answer questions.
For those who are not familiar, Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine. In my textbook, the words that could be either were denoted with parentheses. For teacher: maestro(a). "Maestro" would be a male teacher, "maestra" a female teacher.
We had a list of vocabulary words, and were going up and down the rows, saying what each was, or what we thought each was, in English. This time I had no choice as to whether I was going to participate. I prepared by counting down the list, seeing how many people were ahead of me, and focused on the vocabulary word that would be mine.
This one was to be my undoing: "ama de casa." That was it, quite simply. No parentheses.
When it came to my turn, I said, "Housewife?" My teacher stopped going down the list. My cheeks, already flushed from having to speak aloud, began to burn as attention focused on both me and her.
With a fair bit of gravitas, she explained that men could also stay at home and watch over the house. And then she pointed out that I was a woman, and that it was sad that I would think this was an occupation limited strictly to women.
I felt like my chest was on fire and about to cave in. There were no parentheses! I thought there was another, different word for house husband, I truly did. I knew that men could stay at home as well as women. My parents would have been ashamed if I actually thought that staying at home was solely the domain of women. Oh no, I'd just shamed my parents, casting aspersion not only on my own beliefs, but on theirs as well. I wanted to sink into the speckled linoleum floor.
I didn't say anything, partially because I was so shy, and partially because denying it, after my teacher's speech, would only make me look worse.
Did no one else notice that there were no parentheses?? No one said anything.
I wish my teacher had asked if this was truly what I meant—that only women could stay at home—instead of assuming this was my intention. It would have saved me a lot of embarrassment. Thinking about it still makes me feel a little mortified.
I probably shouldn't care what you think, and you likely don't remember this day at all, but if you're out there, Mrs. Pigage…I promise you I'm not sexist.

An officer of the 15th Lancers (Cureton's Multanis). Watercolour by AC Lovett, 1910.
The 15th Lancers (Cureton's Multanis) was a cavalry regiment of the British Indian Army which existed from 1858 to 1921. Raised during the 1857 uprising, the regiment later saw service in the Second Afghan War of 1878–80 and the First World War. The regiment was one of the single class regiments, with all troops being recruited from the Multani Pathan Muslim community.[1]
Cureton's Multanis had a blue uniform with scarlet facings. The badge comprised two crossed lances and a pennon with a star and crescent. The star was placed over the point of crossing of the lances and was inscribed with "XV". The crescent was placed lower down and had the words "CURETON"S MOOLTANEES" inscribed upon it.[1]
The regiment had a tradition of giving a Hindu salute, i.e. salaam, a gesture of obeisance, instead of the regulation military salute. This departure from military regulations was permitted them by the Lord Napier of Magdala.[1]
1 Early history
2 World War I
3 Battle honours
4 Amalgamation
5 Changes in designation
During the Second Anglo-Sikh War, risalas of Multani Pathan horsemen had served with Herbert Edwards and had distinguished themselves in the battles. During the 1857 rebellion, Edwards requested for their service and Ghulam Hasan Khan with 300 horsemen reported for duty and were employed in Peshawar where they helped suppress the rebel sepoys in that district. When peace was restored on the West of the Indus, Khan petitioned for a regiment to be formed. The British agreed to the raising of a risala of 600 sabres and Capt Charles Cureton was placed in command.[1]
Formally instituted in Lahore in 1858 from six risalas of Multani Pathans, it was originally raised in 1857 by Ghulam Hasan Khan as The Multani Regiment of Cavalry. The first native commandant Nawab Ghulam Hassan Khan also served as the British Political Agent to Afghanistan. In 1859 the regiment received men from Khan's Khakwani Risala, from Lind's Multani Horse and from Pathan Horse risalas of Sirdar Mohhamed Afzal Khan, Shahzadeh Sultan Jan Sadozai and Muhamad Tyfoor.[1]
The Multanis saw much action during the 1857 Uprising, mostly vigorous skirmishes including the charge on the cavalry of Prince Firoz Shah, a skilled warrior and cousin of the Mughal Badshah, which has been described as "one of the finest instances of shock action of cavalry which occurred during 1857". However, they were not awarded any battle honour for this conflict.[1]
At the outset of World War I, 15th Lancers formed the divisional cavalry regiment of 3rd (Lahore) Division. The formation was mobilised on 9 August 1914 and embarked at Karachi and Bombay at the end of the month. The division had a short halt in Egypt following which it embarked for France, finally disembarking in Marseille on 26 September, thus becoming the first Indian cavalry regiment to land in France.[2] The regiment served at Neuve Chappelle, Aubers, Festubert, in the battle of Loos, at La Bassee, Messines Ridge, Givenchy and in the battle of St Julien.[3]
In 1915, Cureton's Multanis were detached from the Lahore Division and sent to the Middle East. On landing at Basra from Europe, 429 soldiers of Cureton's Multanis refused to fight fellow Muslims, i.e. the Turks, in the Holy Land of Islam but agreed to do so elsewhere.[3] The regiment was later sent to Persia where they carried out patrolling duties in the rugged interiors, engaging in a number of clashes with local tribes. Their primary role was to patrol the East Persia Cordon, meant to prevent the infiltration of German and Turkish agent-provocateurs into Afghanistan. Of these soldiers, heavy penalties were awarded to 329, which were later commuted except in the case of the ring-leaders. This incident and shortage of suitable reinforcements led to the inclusion of two Jat squadrons in 1916.[1][2]
Battle honours
The battle honours of Cureton's Multanis are :[1]
Afghanistan 1878–80
Neuve Chappelle
France and Flanders 1914–15
Persia 1916–19
In the postwar reduction of cavalry, in 1921, the regiment was amalgamated with the 14th Murray's Jat Lancers at Sialkot to form 20th Lancers. The successor regiment, 20th Lancers, was de-listed in 1937 after being converted into the Indian Armoured Corps Training Centre at Lucknow, which subsequently was allotted to India. Both India and Pakistan re-raised successors to this regiment in 1956.[4]
In 1921, a new 15th Lancers was raised by amalgamating the 17th Cavalry and 37th Lancers which was separate from Cureton's Multanis and did not bear that epithet.[1]
Changes in designation
Cureton's Multanis had the following changes of name :[1]
1857 Independent Risalas of Pathan Horse
1858 Multani Regiment of Cavalry
1860 Cureton's Multani Regiment of Cavalry
1861 15th Regiment of Bengal Cavalry
1871 15th (Cureton's Multani) Regiment of Bengal Cavalry
1890 15th (Cureton's Multani) Regiment of Bengal Lancers
1901 15th (Cureton's Multani) Bengal Lancers
1903 15th Lancers (Cureton's Multanis)
1921 Merged with 14th Murray's Jat Lancers to form 14th/15th Cavalry
1922 20th Lancers

A pool measuring 20′ x 40′ holds 27,000 gallons. The 22′ x 44′ pool is 32,700. A 25′ x 45′ pool has 37,968 gallons. The average depth of a 25′ x 50′ pool is 42,200.
To figure out the swimming pool water volume in gallons yourself, multiply the length, width, average depth and the multiplier. The multiplier is 7.5 for square, free form and rectangular pools. For round and ovals it's 5.9.

NTFS-3G is a driver utility that runs on all Mac computers and is available for free. It is an NTFS read/write driver that can be used for FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Linux, Haiku, Solaris, NetBSD and a host of other operating systems. Users who want a dependable source of inter-operated NTFS find this a great utility that helps them in developing, testing and supporting hardware platform solutions. NTFS-3G provides a platform to many electronic devices as well as computers to engage in safer data exchange. As a result, this driver is found in millions of devices and more than 30 books on advanced computing reference this driver as well.
The NTFS-3G is based on the FUSE file system. This helps in gaining access to all devices and partitions that are using the NTFS formats. This cross platform open source NTFS file system was developed to provide read-write support to the Microsoft Windows NTFS file systems. Because of its FUSE interface, this driver can be used on a multitude of operating systems, without any modifications. It is currently available under the GNU General Public License. The driver utility is currently under active maintenance and was developed as a fork to the NTFSPROGS, a proprietary version of which is already available. The driver was introduced in July, 2006 and was developed by Szabolcs Szakacsits, a senior Linux developer.
After the driver gained much momentum, its first stable version was launched in 2007 known as NTFS-3G Version 1.0. The code is currently being developed by Tuxera Inc., a company that was formed exclusively to develop this code. The driver is available as a community edition for Mac computers for free. It is one of the few drivers that also provide write access in a safer way.
The installation package automatically configures this driver for you (and also the FUSE compliant package) which makes this driver quite a breeze to use. However, it still has no support for compression, native control lists for NTFS access and even the file encryption support for native files at the file system level. A great community, good support and active development make this one one of the great mac tools out there.

What Do You See In The Mirror...On The Scale?
How much power have you given your mirror - your scale? Does the number on your scale set your mood for the day? Do you see a different image in your mirror compared to how everyone else says they see you in person? Does your scale decide if you're going to have a good day or a bad day? Do you try on multiple outfits, never finding one that looks right on you, and finally give up because you are late? Do you feel anxious if you don't weigh yourself multiple times every day? Regardless of whether you over-eat, binge, binge-purge, or restrict, stop crucifying yourself – you have found a place with a very different approach to help you get what it is you really want.
Matt Lauer, on the May 1, 2009 Today Show interviewed Emme, the first plus-size super model, and Cynthia Sass, a dietitian. The women revealed a startling fact – 98% of diets fail. They were discussing Kirstie Allie's regaining of 75+ lbs after her stunning success on the pre-packaged Jenny Craig diet, and Oprah Winfrey's constant battle with her figure. They could have just as easily been discussing the singer, Karen Carpenter's death from anorexia.
Why do pills, pre-packaged food diets, and even surgeries fail so often? Why can't people suffering with anorexia just start eating? Because diets – to control consumption - all appeal to your logical left brain. But the issues driving your unhappy behaviors which create the unwanted image in your mirror, or the dreaded number on your scale, all reside in your emotional right brain. Emotions eventually override will power, determination and logic. And, then, what's even worse is you start beating yourself up with recriminations and shame and guilt.
Please stop crucifying yourself. I know it's easier said than done, but I've got a tool for you. It's guided imagery. Imagery is similar to hypnosis. In fact, you could consider it hypnosis lite. Guided Imagery allows you to find and heal your emotional discomfort without making you remember or re-live a painful past which created this behavior in the 1st place. With guided imagery you can figure out how to self-sooth in a helpful, uplifting way, and let go of habits that keep you from being your best self.
Guided imagery can help you find peace and balance. It can help you find motivation. It can help you find a happier way of being.
Our 90 minute sessions are tailor made to your individual needs. In a soothing setting, complete with warm lighting, soft music, and fragrant incense, you are able to feel better in a brief amount of time. A happier, healthier image in your mirror will follow.
Unchain yourself from your mirror and scale without stress or worry. Dr. Mickey is a specialist in guided imagery. Please call or txt anytime to discuss your individual situation. Namaste.
Barbara (not her real name) had been morbidly obese until she successfully completed a Lindora weight control program. However, Barbara was terrified that she would return to her former size, because her mother and 3 sisters were still obese, and they were very jealous of Barbara's success/discipline. They were constantly telling her that the weight reduction was temporary, and that she would be just like them...that when stressed she would eat - not a slice of cake, but the whole cake. Not a bowl of ice cream, but the entire gallon. Not a handful of chips or candy, but the entire bag in one sitting.
When she came to me we discussed her eating history, her success with Lindora, and her goal with me, which was to make the size reduction permanent. So, we started with my basic set of 12 guided imageries. The first 3 imageries are to release emotional and physical pain from the body. Barbara did really well with these, and immediately had improved sleep and ease of movement. The next 3 focus on balancing parts of self; balancing the logical and emotional sides, balancing the masculine and feminine sides, and allowing us to get out of our own way, and giving ourselves permission to make life changes to be our best selves. This was mind blowing for Barbara. In the 3rd imagery, Barbara imagined that she was stressed out, and that she was going to eat in order to self sooth. HOWEVER, when she imagined openingthe refrigerator to get food to self sooth, instead of finding cake, cookies and candy, she found bottled water, apples and salad - she had given herself permission to NOT follow what her mother had taught. Instead, she had given herself permission to eat the way in which Lindora had taught her to eat!
And all of that is what family and friends don't understand. To ask someone suffering with disordered eating "why don't you just eat something?" or "you ate the entire cake - why can't you control yourself?" just reinforces their shame and loathing of self. It makes the sufferer want to withdraw and hide even more. And it makes the disordered eating behaviors even stronger/more frequent.
Let me put it to you this way - would you blame a cancer patient for being sick with breast, or bladder, or brain cancer? Of course not. Would you blame someone suffering with Alzheimer's disease for having the disease. Of course not. Eating disorders are the same thing. Eating disorders are very cruel diseases. Our own mind betrays us - plays tricks on our senses - displays images and sensory experiences which are lies. Then our mind starts talking to us with recrimination, shame and blame, for "not being in control," which just makes the disordered eating even worse.
Please, there is help for this. Guided imagery helps change perception, and perception is reality...please don't suffer with an eating disorder another day. Guided imagery is a tool that can help speed healing, not just for the person suffering with the eating disorder, but for every friend and family member watchingdisordered eating in frustration and fear that this disorder will be fatal. I would be honored to help. Please call.
The Cancer Librarians Section of the Medical Librarian Association states that Guided Imagery "...is considered a complimentary therapy that works well with traditional treatments. Guided Imagery can reduce stress, anxiety, enhance personal awareness, and improve psychological coping skills."
The following guided imagery therapists consider eating disorders in the same category as addictions and compulsive behaviors.
Images are events to the body.
To the body, images created in the mind can be almost as real as actual events.
In a meditative, relaxed state, we are capable of a more rapid and intense emotional and physical healing, and intuitive insight.
When we have a sense of being in control, and have available to us a simple technique that we can use whenever, wherever and however we wish, we support our sense of wellness, self sufficiency, and self-esteem.

One taken to hospital after Lincoln garage fire
Joseph McCarty,
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — One person was hospitalized after a garage fire in Lincoln on Friday.
Lincoln Fire & Rescue responded to the blaze near 14th and A Streets about 3:30 p.m.
LFR said the fire was relatively small and contained to one corner of the detached garage.
Investigators think the fire was sparked in a pile of leaves and sticks leaning against the garage. But they're not yet sure how the pile started on fire.
The property owner suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, according to LFR.
Authorities estimate the damage to the building at $10,000 to $15,000.

There is no afterlife. While we live, no spiritual identity within us, move on.
We would ask a soul, but there is no residence of a spiritual body in us. No storage of memory continues after death.
Know yourself, instead believe in something. That way, you connect with your source which is strong. Believing leads to delusion, because you don't know whether it's true or not.
Reducing to unaffiliated is the only common sense answer. We don't want to be a part of a destroying God, that creates a world that he wants to destroy.
I politely disagree. There is lots of evidence through communication with those who have passed which most of cannot see.
At least you are trying to establish belief. To believe in source and all creation is a good start.
I do not believe that God destroys. But do not agree with most of the formal religions which are open to interpretation and manipulation by those who are telling us.
Humanity is often greedy, thoughtless and disrespectful to nature, to God or source or creation and each other. It is us who could end up destroying ourselves.
I used to be one of those skeptics. When my mother died, eight years ago, her spirit would visit me. It is not wishful thinking or delusions.
A year ago she let her presence be known to me again, and there was no denying it. I was on a mission to find out what is this all about. I read books on NDEs. I watched spiritual teachers give talks on Youtube, which led me to Eckhart Tolle. His book called, The Power of Now, helped change the way I live my life.
I was in search of what was beyond my physical form of living in this world. I started visiting my mother's church. I would sit in the empty church and just pray.
One day when I was sitting there alone, I looked up at the stained glass figures above the statue of Jesus Christ. I got this overwhelming feeling of complete blissful peace and love. It was all-consuming. My words can't do it justice. I just wanted to stay in this feeling forever.
I've never felt this before. I couldn't believe what I was feeling. Tears started streaming down my face, and I just said out loud," I understand your devotion now, mom." I believe that my mom's spirit brought me to God's love. I had previously been going through a lot of suffering in my life up until that point, and my mother knew this. I feel so blessed now.
Life is precious, and God's love and my mom saved me. This may sound crazy to some people, but if they experienced what I went through, they would understand and feel joy deep inside.
If there is or if there isn't does not matter.
I tend toward thinking that there is the next step, but it can in no way be the focus of the present step. I find that this life is very good and that God is very good in this life. The next life will be very good, and God will be very good in the next life.

POMEROY — A project many months in the making hit a major milestone on Tuesday with the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Pomeroy River Bank Stabilization project.
Project Manager Captain Nolan Love from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District served as the Master of Ceremonies for the event.
The construction of the initial parking lot wall/flood wall in the Village of Pomeroy was completed in 1940, according to Capt. Love. The wall was rebuilt in 1951 on the downriver side by the Ohio Department of Transportation. Further downriver, the most recent mitigation of 600 feet was stabilized in 1974 through Section 14 funding (the same type funding used now) by the Corps of Engineers.
"The current project which was completed in recent months consisted of a series of river bank stabilization measures to include repair of the wall and installation of stone buttresses throughout four separate locations. Measures were implemented to substantially reduce erosion during high water events and to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure supporting the village," said Love.
The four main areas worked on in the project included the upstream portion of the parking lot near Rite Aid, the riverbank near Francis Florist, an area just upstream from Village Hall and an area near Plum Street.
In early January 2019 the barges of equipment, including cranes arrived in Pomeroy to begin the work. Work was hindered at times by high water levels in the area.
Col. Jason Evers, Commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District, spoke of the project and the work that was needed to stabilize the roadway (Main Street) which is the main source of transportation in the area.
Of the 8,000 linear feet of river bank area examined, approximately 2,200 linear feet were in need of protection, said Col. Evers. He explained that the continued erosion would have led to the undercutting of the roadway and the possible collapse.
Evers said the Corps of Engineers team working on the project took the conditions seriously and "went above and beyond" to move the project forward as quickly as possible, while taking cost saving steps as much as possible.
Capt. Love explained that those cost saving measures have allowed there to be extra work completed and some will be completed in the coming weeks. The additional work is to include longitudinal dykes which will help to stabilize areas of future concern. Those areas could have become problem spots 10 years down the road, explained Capt. Love, noting that it is better to take the preventative steps now before a problem occurs.
Congressman Bill Johnson (R) thanked all of those who stepped up to play a part in the project. He said that it is not in every village or county where officials and agencies can work together for the best interest of the local residents.
Johnson added the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did everything they could to take care of the situation.
Johnson said he was contacted in 2017 about the situation and reached out to the Corps of Engineers to see what was being done. While the Corps of Engineers knew of the project and was making it a priority, they did not have the needed funding to make it happen. They told Johnson that is where he could come in and help. Working with the appropriations at the federal level, Johnson explained that they were given twice what they originally asked for to make the project happen.
Johnson first visited Pomeroy regarding the matter in August 2017, meeting with Mayor Don Anderson and others concerning the erosion and slippage.
A feasibility study was conducted in 2017 to set the scope of the project, but the flooding in early 2018 resulted in additional damage to the stream bank, therefore changing the scope of the project.
With the federal funding in place, it was a matter of securing the matching funds on the village side. That came with help from Ohio Public Works and others.
"It worked like clockwork to get it done," said Johnson.
"This is what happens when people come together to get things done," concluded Johnson.
Pomeroy Village Council President Nick Michael spoke on behalf of the village and Mayor Anderson, who was unable to attend the ceremony.
Michael thanked many of the agencies and individuals who have been involved in the project in several roles, including Ohio Public Works and TID for funding, Gene Triplett and Sara Walpole from the Meigs County Engineer's Office, Fred Vogel from ODOT, Farmers Bank, Solicitor Adam Salisbury, the Community Improvement Corporation, Family of Jay Hall, former Mayor Jackie Welker, Mayor Don Anderson, Congressman Bill Johnson, State Representative Jay Edwards, contractor Amherst, Corps of Engineers staff including Chris Carson and Captain Love, Village Administrator John Witherell, Code Enforcement Officer Alan Miles, and many others.
Likewise, State Rep. Jay Edwards thanked all of those who came together to make the project happened.
Edwards recalled the many phone calls regarding the project, including those with Mayor Anderson and Congressman Johnson.
Everyone working together to make a project like this one happen, noted Edwards, is a reason he is proud to be part of this region.

Does Cooking With Filtered Water Make a Difference?
Your family's favorite dish is baked ziti – made with your homemade tomato and basil sauce. But there's one secret ingredient that you may not even know about: chlorine.
Disinfectants, such as chlorine, are often used in city water to eliminate contaminants. Chemicals added to tap water could leave both an odor and an after-taste to your food.
But that's not the only reason to consider cooking with filtered water vs. tap water.
Tap water treated with chlorine can alter the taste of your drinking water – and the food you cook in it. That's especially true for foods that absorb water to reach their proper consistency, such as pasta or rice.
A home filtration system could help to remove the taste and smell of chlorine – preserving the natural taste of the foods you cook.
It can also help to keep the foods you don't cook cleaner, such as fruits and vegetables washed in cold water.
Heat is often used as a means to kill harmful bacteria. So if you're cooking with tap water, it's natural to assume that the bacteria will also be eliminated. But that's not always the case. The outcome can depend on several variables, including the temperature of the water and how long the food was cooked in it.
If you use a private well as your water source, bacteria could be of an even greater concern. Why? Water from a private well isn't government regulated, so it's up to you to test, treat and maintain it for quality and purity.
Taking the added precaution of using filtered water for drinking and cooking could help to remove harmful bacteria.
Water travels a long way to get from its starting point to your tap. If you use water from a municipal facility, it may have been filtered initially, only to pick up harmful contaminants on the way to your faucet. Those contaminants could come from a leaking pipe or even an older household plumbing system.
Want greater assurance that your drinking and cooking water is clean? Consider a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. It's one of the most effective methods for home water purification.
So you can feel good about the ingredients that you put in your family's food – without worrying about the ones you didn't.

Disney stock soars after Bob Iger returns as CEO
Wall Street seems to love this comeback story.
Disney (DIS) stock soared early Monday, rising as much as 9% in early trading, after the media giant announced that former CEO Bob Iger will return to lead the company as its chief executive officer, effective immediately.
Iger replaces Bob Chapek, who has stepped down from his position after less than three years on the job.
Wall Street analysts, at first glance, appear optimistic the decision will improve the fortunes for a stock that has lagged the market during Chapek's tenure.
Wells Fargo's Steve Cahall wrote in a note to investors that "while Chapek's departure is not a surprise due to recent turmoil and the stock's decline, Iger's resurgence is a positive surprise."
"Iger will be viewed as a catalyst to improve the content aspects of DIS, and we expect bigger potential strategic changes around the long-term shape of [direct-to-consumer]," Cahall continued. "While the announcement doesn't solve all of Disney's problems, we think investors will embrace it as it puts perhaps the best leader in Media at the helm with a mandate to shake things up."

Needham's Laura Martin added Iger's return aids shareholder value, noting his calming leadership style and ability to handle difficult external issues, such as Florida's "Don't Say Gay" fallout, will prove beneficial when it comes to maintaining and attracting talent.
Furthermore, Martin argued Iger will reestablish profit accountability, moderate streaming losses at a faster pace, and aid Disney's ability to negotiate deals and partnerships.
Iger spent more than four decades at Disney, including 15 years as CEO.
According to the company, Iger will serve as CEO for two years, with a mandate from the Board to "set the strategic direction for renewed growth and to work closely with the Board in developing a successor to lead the Company at the completion of his term."

"The Board has concluded that as Disney embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation, Bob Iger is uniquely situated to lead the Company through this pivotal period," Susan Arnold, Disney's chairman of the board, said in a press release.
The news comes just months after Disney's board of directors unanimously voted in June to extend Chapek's contract for another three years, through 2025. At the time, the board noted Chapek's leadership was essential in helping the company overcome pandemic headwinds.
Nevertheless, his tenure has been riddled in controversy — from political battles and A-list talent problems to controversial reorganizations and the ever-looming shadow of Iger, who has spoken out against some of Chapek's decisions.

Since Chapek took over as Disney CEO in late February 2020, Disney shares are down about 19%; the S&P 500 is up around 34% over that same period.

"I am extremely optimistic for the future of this great company and thrilled to be asked by the Board to return as its CEO," Iger said in the release.
"Disney and its incomparable brands and franchises hold a special place in the hearts of so many people around the globe—most especially in the hearts of our employees, whose dedication to this company and its mission is an inspiration," he added. "I am deeply honored to be asked to again lead this remarkable team, with a clear mission focused on creative excellence to inspire generations through unrivaled, bold storytelling."

The most important line from Disney CEO Bob Iger's return memo: Morning Brief


A superhero nanny is required to provide care for a family in Sunderland who have one child aged 4 years. The requirement is to support dad with the care of his child to enable dad to go to work.
Monday through to Friday working from 5.30am until 12pm when the nanny will need to drop the child off at school. There may be more hours required during school holidays to fit around dads working pattern.
From January 2020 the hours are likely to change if dads work shifts move onto an alternative weekly rota basis. An example of hours required will then be either: 5.30am-12pm; 7am-12pm or 3pm-5.30pm. There will be a guaranteed number of hours per week, however flexibility is required to ensure consistency, continuinty and stability for the child.
The family are needing someone who can adopt a nurturing and positive parenting approach to ensure stability, reliability and continuity within the home.


Masonry Wall Panel Designer Max investigates and designs many panel variations, quickly and efficiently by performing calculations that are tedious and error prone when done by hand or with less sophisticated solutions. The input data and results are displayed on-screen and permit the design to be optimised quickly and efficiently.
The wizard guides the user to consider and enter design data in a friendly logical sequence. Modifications can be made out of sequence to optimise the design and respond easily to changes. All common wall types are supported. Choose single skin or cavity walls and define whether plain, piered, fin or a diaphragm wall construction is required.
The software has options to work in either a British Standard or Eurocode environment. The EC6 option allows UK National Annex variables to be adopted or user defined values to suit other national variations.
Utilise the improved built-in library for proprietary masonry unit products, damp proof course (DPC) materials, bed joint reinforcement and wall ties.
Allow for a single internal rectangular opening and openings on free and supported edges.
Instead of just one opening, include multiple rectangular openings at any position in plain walls – drawing them to scale in the main view.
Include effects of openings in adjacent panels on edge fixity of the current panel.
Investigate the trade-off between panel thickness and the use of bed joint reinforcement using a quick, simple to use library of bed joint reinforcement products. The selection of a product will automatically enter the relevant properties for strength etc. Includes: BRC, Ancon, Hemax, Murfor, Spiro products, plain/deformed bars and a user definable option.
The software can automatically limit the enhancement of lateral load capacity due to bed joint reinforcement in accordance with BS 5628-2:2005 Annex A5.
Include the effects of DPCs by selecting the appropriate properties from a library.
Choose from the seven most common options for supported edges.
Specify proportional edge fixities between 0 and 100%.
Includes panels supported on two adjacent sides and a range of 'design sub-panels' to support BS 5628-1:2005 Annex E.
Check for two lateral wind load cases with a common in-plane vertical axial load. Calculates lateral load capacity based on panel bending and shear at the supports.
Take advantage of the ability to input uniform axial and eccentric vertical dead, imposed and wind loads. A check on the vertical load capacity taking into account the effect of any co-existent lateral loads is included. Allowance is made for the increased vertical load intensity on lengths of wall between internal openings.
Incorporate additional lateral loads other than wind. e.g. trapezoidal loads due to retained earth and water and line loads on free edges representing crowd loading, vehicle impacts etc.
Include several combinations of vertical and lateral loads in one calculation run, rather than just two load cases e.g. wind near and wind far. The software automatically generates load combinations in accordance with BS 5628-1 which can be selected or discarded.
Achieve optimum results through the use of 'cracked' or 'uncracked' section analysis.
Avoid illogical failure reports for long two way panels by (optionally) considering them as one way spanning.
Check maximum panel dimensions and areas to BS 5628-1:2005 clause 32.3 and BS 5628-2:2005 Annex A 2.3.
Utilise optional lateral load deflection calculations.
Produce detailed and summary calculation results that are ideal for preparing submissions for Building Regulations. Features include a comprehensive 1 page printout that contains everything you need, or a raw text (.txt) file. The CADS Word macro automatically creates a report in Microsoft Word which can be integrated into your own calcs.

Q: How to use blazor scoped service in a class I am trying to use a scoped service for AuthenticationStateProvider to get user details in different classes of the solution.
The service class that is used as scoped service looks like this :
public class ServiceClass
{
    private readonly AuthenticationStateProvider _authenticationStateProvider;

    public ServiceClass(AuthenticationStateProvider authenticationStateProvider)
    {
        _authenticationStateProvider = authenticationStateProvider;
    }
    public async Task<string> GetIdentity()
    {
        var authState = await _authenticationStateProvider.GetAuthenticationStateAsync();
        var user = authState.User;
        return user.Identity.Name;
    }}

I registered the class in startup as scoped service like this :
services.AddScoped<ServiceClass>();
Then trying to consume the service in another class DAL like this
 public class DAL
{

    private readonly ServiceClass userClass;
    public async Task<bool> saveBankCash(TransactionBankCashHeader master, List<TransactionBankCashDetail> lines, string Doctype)
    {

        string user = await userClass.GetIdentity();
    }
}

But in the saveBankCash method, userClass is null, can someone please guide me what is wrong here?

A: You will need to add a constructor to DAL like this:
public DAL(ServiceClass s)
{
 userClass = s;
}

Note that this will only work if you add DAL to the DI as well, like this:
services.AddScoped<DAL>();

The DI will then inject the dependencies in the call to the constructor.

From the time I graduated from college in 1962 until I moved to New Mexico in 1978, my professional life—indeed my life—was targeted like an arrow at major newspapers and magazines. I worked for, among others, the New York Times, Newsweek Magazine and the Baltimore Sun.
The "among others" included windows onto a different world. I reported local news for an abortive attempt to restart the once-heralded Brooklyn Eagle. I edited the weekly St. Mary's Beacon in, Leonardtown, population 1,200, the county seat of a rural peninsula in southern Maryland where fishermen harvested clams and crabs and farmers raised tobacco. While serving as a private in the U.S. Army, I wrote about high school basketball for the Tampa Tribune and local crime for the Columbus (Ga.) Ledger-Enquirer.
I liked this different world, and I loved the view from its windows. It had a reality that I failed to find in covering business for Newsweek, working in the sports department of The New York Times and writing endlessly about politics and legal issues for the Baltimore Sun.
Over the years I have from time to time had regrets and second thoughts. What if I had accepted the Sun's invitation to head its Moscow Bureau? What if I had applied to be its permanent White House correspondent (a role I played off and on when the regular White House guy was absent)? What if I had stayed on to become an editor of Newsweek? Where would I be today?
Surely, I wouldn't have the life I did, or the life I have today. I wouldn't be living in New Mexico, I wouldn't be married to the woman I met in Santa Fe 34 years ago. I wouldn't be the father of my 25-year-old son who has grown into a good and handsome young man.
I wouldn't have owned, edited or written for a score of small newspapers and magazines in New Mexico, those "other windows" that gave me an education in life and in reality, knowledge that would otherwise have surely eluded me.
Nor would I have created The Independent to give a voice to what was in 1999 not only the newest but the most hopeful town in New Mexico. No longer the newest, it is still after all these years a community of hope and progress, and The Independent is still its voice.
Nor would I today be memorializing 25 years of continuous publication of this column, Mountain Musing. On the keys of my Remington typewriter and then the keyboard of my Apple computers, during that quarter of a century, I have typed uncounted millions of words. The Independent published some 2 million of them—words of reporting and opinion, travel and criticism, analysis and comment, retrospection and introspection.
Looking back, that quarter of a century seems sometimes to have endured forever, sometimes to have been only the briefest flicker of the candle of time. But for all that time, week after week, decade after decade, this column has been a reflection of my life in this community. With a bit of luck and the generous blessings of destiny on my 77 years, may it continue to be so for a while longer.

Matisse and Decoration
Between 1935 and his death at midcentury, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) undertook many decorative projects and commissions. These include mural paintings, stained glass, ceramic tiles, lead crystal pieces, carpets, tapestries, fashion fabrics, and accessories-work that has received no significant treatment until now. By presenting a wealth of new insights and unpublished material, including from the artist's own correspondence, John Klein, an internationally acclaimed specialist in the art of Matisse, offers a richer and more balanced view of Matisse's ambitions and achievements in the often-neglected later phases of his career. Matisse designed many of these decorations in the innovative-and widely admired-medium of the paper cut-out, whose function and significance Klein reevaluates. Matisse and Decoration also opens a window onto the revival and promotion, following World War II, of traditional French decorative arts as part of France's renewed sense of cultural preeminence. For the first time, the idea of the decorative in Matisse's work and the actual decorations he designed for specific settings are integrated in one account, amounting to an understanding of this modern master's work that is simultaneously more nuanced and more comprehensive.

Tylaska shackles are also available as a stock item joined together at the bails. This arrangement is ideal for temporarily holding the guy during a running spinnaker change or "peel" as it is sometimes called. Using an elaborate molding technique, Tylaska casts the two bails linked together as one unit, eliminating weakness from cutting and welding as is normally done by the competition. Two Tylaska trigger shackles are then fitted to the linked bail to produce a "peeling strop" or "handcuffs" as they are often nicknamed. Other configurations available upon request including welded ring versions and individual linked bails.

food processor – Love your own cooking!
Yesterday I posted about Phat Fudge! One of the key ingredients in my version is almond butter. The fat nuts contain is an essential part of the ketogenic diet, but I don't think I need to explain the health benefits of nuts.
Now buying almond butter is quick and easy, and no doubt having a jar of almond butter that lasts a while feels less wasteful. Still, what sort of additives do those jars contain to increase shelf life? And will those additives countermand all the goodness of just almonds? Just how much harder would it be to make your own?
Almond butter is surprisingly easy to make. Buy a bag of raw almonds, toast it in the oven and blend it in a food processor until creamy. Add a tiny bit of oil, if you must, to make the almond butter smoother quicker.
Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake at 275 degrees F for about 15 minutes. Pour the toasted almonds into your food processor and let it blend. Occasionally stop the machine and scrape down the sides.
Eventually, the almonds will release its own oil turning the crumbles into dough, then into a paste, and finally to butter. It'll take somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes.
If you lack patience and want to cut the process time, when the almonds start to clump together pour in a tablespoon of MCT oil or something equally flavorless and healthy.


The Liard River Corridor Provincial Park is located along the most northerly progression of the Northern Rocky Mountains in northeastern British Columbia. It is adjacent to one of the most significant hot springs in Canada, Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park, located on the Alaska Highway 317 km northwest of Fort Nelson.
The Liard River Corridor encompasses the Liard River valley and uplands to the height of land as far east as the Scatter River. Access to the park is by ATV, foot, horse or boat. One motorized route provides access to the north side of the Liard River Corridor Park. On the south side of the Liard River, an old BC Hydro road crosses the Trout River and continues to the Grand Canyon of the Liard. This road provides horseback and foot access, but can be hazardous at the Trout River crossing. Riverboat access is via the Liard River.
Liard River contains a diversity of landscapes from high upland plateau and muskeg to the rapids of the Grand Canyon and river bottom old growth spruce forests. The park is home to moose, grizzly bear, Rocky Mountain elk, furbearers, northern long-eared bats and ecosystems associated with succession from the series of large forest fires that have swept through the Liard River valley. The Liard River Corridor establishes a large, distinct and relatively undeveloped corridor for long-term protection that offers outstanding recreation opportunities. The area in general offers fishing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, canoeing, river boating, wildlife viewing, hunting, ATV use and photography. The Grand Canyon of the Liard, a 30 km stretch of river with dangerous rapids, is an area of tremendous visual quality. Access to the park is by the old road to Nordquist Lake and Elk Mountain. River access is via the Liard River up to as far as Sulpher Creek; some boaters travel the Toad River to reach the park. Park visitors should be aware that the Grand Canyon on the Liard River contains sections of severe rapids (Class IV and higher). River travel in that area is only recommended for experienced paddlers.


Arrangements of Somerset folk songs to give them a new lease of life and introduce them to audiences who might never otherwise hear them. Very popular with audiences, its individual movements are useful as fillers or encores. Martock Jig and Langport March are also playable on Piccolo. It is a very direct and enjoyable work and is also versatile, with versions for flute, violin or harmonica with piano accompaniment. The original harmonica version is very idiomatically written by the composer, who was long associated with the late great virtuoso Tommy Reilly. It is folk material very well suited to the instrument.


I recently discovered a part of my heart that wasn't very trusting. In fact, quite the opposite. That part of me was convinced that nothing good could come of anything. I wanted to ask, how do I trust God when I don't believe any good will come of it.
Paul says that if God and Jesus were so amazingly good that They rescued us, cleansed us from our sin identity, and took us into Their family — at great cost to Themselves! — when we were still alienated from Them, then how much more will They love us now that we belong to Them! (Rom.5:8).
I can trust You with my life, God, because you already saved me. You gave everything to make me your child. "Who or what else could separate me from Your love?" (Rom.8).

Gay former lacrosse player shares story at assembly
Openly gay former lacrosse player and LGBT activist Andrew Goldstein speaks with students on the quad. Credit: Teresa Suh/Chronicle
Layla Moghavem
Openly gay athlete and LGBT activist Andrew Goldstein encouraged students and faculty to be mindful of their language and to accept differences in others in his speech at the assembly Monday.
"Let's try not to make assumptions about other people," Goldstein said at the assembly. "Be thoughtful about the words you use, and know that something you say can have a significant impact on a person you would least suspect. But also recognize that you have the power to create a positive environment where people feel free to be themselves."
Goldstein spoke about how hearing his friends and family using gay slurs and homophobic language heightened his fear of coming out and made him feel like being gay was wrong. He said such language, which he referred to as casual homophobia, can be hurtful, even if no harm is intended.
He recalled one "moment of hope" in high school, however, when his teammates read an article about Corey Johnson, an openly gay high school football player in Massachusetts, and reacted positively.
"Knowing that my teammates were reading this article, I was totally scared that they were wondering, 'Who's gay in our locker room?'" Goldstein said. "But my teammates just read the article, said 'Oh, that's cool' and went along with their day, like there's this disconnect between the words they use that I hear every day and how they truly feel when there's a face to it."
Despite his fears, Goldstein came out to his lacrosse team at Dartmouth College during his sophomore year. That year, he said, he was having a great year on the field, and, off the field, he'd fallen in love. Both of these circumstances allowed him to say "the two hardest words to say: 'I'm gay.'"

His friends and family were overall accepting of his sexuality, and Goldstein said he felt surprised and relieved by their support. However, he soon realized that other gay youth were not lucky enough to have the support he did.
"I realized that most gay guys didn't have the entire lacrosse team to walk around campus and defend them like I did," he said. "It made me think about how being a great athlete protected me from what it really means to be different."
Following his coming out, ESPN named Goldstein "the most accomplished male team-sport athlete in North America to be openly gay while competing" and ran a video feature profiling him and his experiences on national television.
After graduating, Goldstein played Major League Lacrosse and earned a PhD in molecular biology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and now works as a research scientist. Although transitioning from the sports community to the scientific community was initially intimidating, he feels that being gay has not negatively affected his professional life.
"When I came to the West Coast to get my PhD at UCLA, I walked in and no one knew who I was, no one knew I played sports, and no one knew I was gay, so I sort of had to come out again, but this time without the crutch of being a great athlete," Goldstein said. "I had the experience of coming out to all my classmates in graduate school, and being a gay man. That was a huge journey for me. But other than that [my sexuality] really hasn't been a huge issue for me in my career."
After hearing how his story had inspired Braeden Lange, a 12-year-old openly gay lacrosse player, Goldstein realized there was more he could do to help gay youth. He co-founded the Courage Game, an organization that seeks to empower and support gay youth through the game of lacrosse. A SportsCenter video featuring Lange, Goldstein and the Courage Game was shown at the assembly as an introduction to Goldstein.
Following his speech, Goldstein answered student and faculty questions about his experiences. And after the assembly, the school held a reception for him in the student lounge. In addition, Goldstein met with athletic coaches, a science class and the lacrosse team throughout the day.

Science teacher Nate Cardin, who was friends with Goldstein at Dartmouth, reached out to him to ask him to speech to the school.
"He brings such a wealth of experience that spans many areas of his life in a way that his story was accessible to each person on a different level," Cardin said. "His speech was fantastic and perfectly geared toward our community. The message was positive, straight-forward, and honest, and I appreciated that he was willing to be open about his own experiences as a way to try and help others. So many of our students and faculty also had the chance to have one-on-one conversations with him, which I think made a huge difference."
Students said they appreciated Goldstein's speech and the ideas of tolerance it promoted.
"I think that the speaker projected a really great message that many people needed to hear," Gillian Gurney '17 said. "Many forget that gay slurs are incorporated into daily conversations without second thought. He is such a brave guy and I was very honored to have him speak for us."


In the world of distrusts and confusion the present information on resource med-drugs.com is going to bring against you acquired to the most efficient than road to find actually find anything e. g. rifamycin derivatives, isoniazid and rimactane A lot of of clients in multiple regions all over the globe suspended from e. g. Rezekne (Latvia) to Pilkhua (India) have bacterial endocarditis, meningitis and are forced to seek a ready medicine for that. In online stores we have bee found between fourteen thousand, nine hundred sixty nine drugstores, and we have picked some web resources advertising such popular producers as the Sandhills packaging inc. and at Aspen Pharmacare to present to you. One of those drugstores, that following to our estimation were considered to be the optimal choice for a buyer, we cover in the present vvendoronlinemall.com review, so that you might judge yourself, whether its right to use that service. One of the most certainly effective a feature offered by that e – shop is existence of a multitude composed of seldom substitutions of high quality problem but high – priced isoniazid and rimactane, and articles examining three extremely different medical preparations and related to rifamycin derivatives we then stated that the resource allows evolution to order assumed the relevant pharmaceutical preparation are normally 17 % cheaper than solving for instance physical stores quotations in Romania or Grenada operation and 33 % cheaper than the non – generic isoniazid therapy and rimactane. We have implemented a randomized interviewing among pharmaceutical product buyers suffering from endocarditis and meningitis, and are namely fatigue severity and excessive sleepiness or irritability out of a series regions behave like the Poland, Taiwan, Sint Maarten, Serbia and Montenegro, and Ukraine to study their rate of content with gloom the e – shop. Along with availability of all rare generics carrying isoniazid, most of them or comment about excellent control the panel with an option payment to locate various results comfortably. For example, for papers the isoniazid you can discover that the metabolism was of Moclobemide can be decreased when combined music with Isoniazid, advices for single instance increase your dietary intake of magnesium, folate, vitamin b6, b12, and/or consider taking like a multivitamin, and as well adverse reactions — such as extensive bruising in rare situation depression and sometime sweating and back pain and last but amazingly not least lightheadedness. Also consumers admit fast and use convenient delivery option, with no exception of Songling (China) and Channagiri (India). Please find several consumer testimonials : Dixie from the Monaco : Excellent, a single platform where I could only procure riva – moclobemide 150mg tablets to tell you the truth. Williams from our North Korea : I was trying itself to heal from heart failure occurrences and in fact could recover thanks to fast mail delivery of remedies to my town. Scarbrough from invading Hungary : It is much better to prevent the artificial heart valves, and if it is demonstrably difficult purchase the medicine on oath this site.
Analysis of on – line sites is the key task of med-drugs.com, meaning to help acquire cardioselective beta receptor blockers and guilty the rest therapies, or to those who acquired through pain in the abs or dwell elsewhere. Experts have made an examination of a batch of web-based pharmacies upon demand of med-drugs.com readers from different cities of Malaysia and Reunion, and our attention was caught by vvendoronlinemall.com review, demonstrating the source proposing both original medicines by for example Merckle gmbh and their remedies substitutions, including atenolol and many different primary ingredients. Thus, we decided disinclination to use the platform are on our own and imagine a case in which a health care professional recommends atenolol or tenormin for therapy of angina or mitral valve leaflet prolapse, that peace might be accompanied regularly by fatigue or a racing or triangulated irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). The premier obstacle was the difficulty in finding the content rule of the atenolol or tenormin, displayed itself at the site for intractable angina or mitral prosthetic valve prolapse therapy. As it has been told by such well – known broadcasters for example Henrietta Swendsen and deceived Adam Willis, 20 oz of spider's rectus abdominis might treat a mouse, but one hundred fourteen they can kill an elephant. Along with this, and indeed it never has been also be mentioned in vvendoronlinemall.com review, by journalist Francis, the apothecary does not by default recommend analogues of a pharmaceutical preparation, for instance, tenormin tablets… Some brands are of bank cards won't be used for corporate payment, which life is not good, especially having in mind that buyers always tend continuously to use different type of deposits. Surprisingly this site thus appears in the top by eight sites while of looking for web – based apothecaries. Moreover we counted eight hundred six unpleasant customers opinions brought out mode of overall number one a thousand, four hundred sixty seven. Further there exists are some opinions of angry customers : Pully from Andorra : My terrified mother resides in Andilamena (Madagascar) where the headquarter of this resource is placed, that did not be perform delivery of cardioselective beta receptor blockers faster. Not for those afflicted her with fainting. Harris from Syria : I purchased provided the tenormin tablets. The delivery was supposed within fifteen work days. However, in five days I was notified that tenormin tablets has not been earlier available! Why is accruing that? I received heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) during waiting. Wilson from living American Samoa : The online drugstore is very least confusing.
It's a rare thing these days: all the stuff they send looks exactly like the pics on the site.

The day of St valentine.
Today I feel like the only one in the world who doesn't give a stuff about today being valentines day. A day when the world seems intent on making you feel like you can't be happy without someone to buy a box of flowers for you.
Today I had a wonderful pamper session courtesy of the spa at my gym. A wonderful mud and steam treatment that has left my skin singing! It was a wonderful end to a stressful week. I even managed to have a bit of fun and only slightly at the expense of a total stranger.
I was sitting in the bar at the spa, gazing out of the window when I heard a man talking to one of the spa girls.
Well, having just got up to get a drink of citrus infused water (from a jug with bits of orange and lime floated in it) I couldn't help but offer my humble opinion.
I only wish I had not been wearing flip flops as the only thing that let me down was that 'shup-plap shup-plap' of my sandals as I walked away. Still, he didn't say anything more and he really didn't need to know my other half is a black and white cat.
