Sometimes you don’t realize what is missing in your life until it arrives…
Just living my best life SparklesSparklesSparkles

What makes you perfect is the way you carry your imperfections…
I don’t carry my imperfections, they are too heavy.
They weigh me down, they crush me.
Why should we look for perfection in this imperfect world?
I face them head on and use them as a reminder to keep going in life!!!

Is this imperfect world not beautiful? 

There is so much beauty in this world and I intend to see as much of it as I can. In a world that only had hatred on its menu, try serving kindness. We need that kind of optimism in these times… Just look at yourself first in the mirror and you’ll see beauty all day http://long.No catches. Just telling the truth.Grinning face with smiling eyesFolded handsThumbs up  
If we #Change our perception… Then there’s a lot of love and kindness around us.

Trees and petsSmiling face with 3 hearts and humans BEINGSGrinning face

Today is a great day, because no matter the circumstances you may face, you are still alive.. Two hearts meant to be together, no matter the distance between them. Entanglement.

I’d like to immerse myself in you and absorb you in my veins. Black heart  
Miles can’t separate two hearts that really care. Treasure that is what you are, let me treasure you.. You’re my favorite notification.. Even the thought of you gives me a beautiful sensation.

Life isn’t about how fast you travel but how much you enjoy that travel.

It is not important what others think of you..

Important is what you think of yourself.. And that is, what the people see..
Your mouth can block your blessings, Know when to keep quiet..

Life’s too short to argue and hate each other,
You never know who will leave the world tomorrow.. It’s magic how you can meet someone that can change your life forever.. Find you someone you can be completely free with.. and then go wild. You can always feel when somebody is thinking about you.

There are only two days a year that you cannot change. One is called “Yesterday” and the other is called “Tomorrow”. So today! Is the right day! To Love, to Believe, to Do, and most importantly, to Live.. Beauty is how you feel from the inside, and it will reflect in your eyes..

And that is what everyone else sees.. The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin to do.. There is so much you can do without talking about it.. Never let the ones that matter to you wonder if you care.

Let people not remember us by what we do, but by the footprints we leave for them…Sometimes there are many answers in silence than in any spoken words. Do not spoil what you have now, by desiring what you have not.. Remember that what you know you have, was once among all the things you once hoped for.. There are no accidental meetings between souls. In my mind we’ll always be friends, long after you decided I’m just someone you used to know.

“They didn’t know it was impossible. So they did it” ~Mark Twain

Faith activates God … Fear activates the Enemy. ~Joel Osteen

How do you interpret intention ? Wise words from within. Thumbs up

True love is when you stick together, no matter what s$#t hits the proverbial fan. When you have their back and absolutely no doubt they’ve got yours. I pity all the doubters for never knowing what real love feels like…It’s magic how you can meet someone that can change your life forever…While waiting for things to change, don’t be discontent with where you are. YOU MUST learn to enjoy the season that you’re in.

I’m not a window of opportunity, I’m once in a lifetime. You may doubt and question yourself repeatedly but somewhere out there you’re someone’s smile in the morning and comfort at night.. Paint the dream in your mind, for you to work on it.. so you can achieve it.. I want to know you not an inch deep but to the depth of your soul your entire heart and all the things that make you unique. Do not do anything out of selfishness, ambition, or cheap fuss..
Do not focus only on your interests alone, but from others.. be humble..


Each backpack has a different weight, so never judge the weight of the backpack that someone else has to carry.. Who thought, 2 minutesEggplant and 47 seconds.Splashing sweat symbol

Mental mind mingling teleportation If you are not the person you want to be yet, don’t be too hard on the person you are now. Don’t be so hard on yourself…

Trust the universe let it all flow. HerbSeedlingSun with rays 

I always say be kind and gentle to yourself and if I am really having a hard time I sing a lullaby to myself. It is soothing. You are the person you want to be aren’t you ? I mean someone with such a calm and pleasant look on your face. You can’t fake that. And Don’t criticize others. Some have no idea who they are! The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin to do.. There is so much you can do without talking about it.. Words are cool and stuff… Actions always speak louder Red heart  Always!!!Raising handsRevolving hearts

While an apology helps, changed behavior heals.
Apology without changed behavior is just meaningless words!! 🙂

Your soul is a thousand miles away from my own soul, but no one is closer to my heart than you are. That thing you do to my heart is an unexplainable phenomenon. You’re too mature to worry about who likes you or who dislikes you.. You have more important things to do.. if they love you, You love them, if they support you, you support them.. if they hate you, don’t care if life goes on with or without them..

New Blessings, New Grace, New Favor, New Day, New Lessons, New Understanding, New Wisdom, Is the New Knowledge..

Someday everything will make sense. So for now, Laugh at the confusion,
The meaning of life is to have values, not things of value..
Know that the tears of yesterday, is the strength of today..

Smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason..

Those who are faithful with something small will be faithful with something big, those who are dishonest with something small, will automatically be dishonest with big things too.. It seems normal, but you realized that these are values that few have… Do good to others..

It will come back to you in unexpected ways.. Life is too short to stress yourself with people who don’t even deserve to be an issue in your life..

The human mind is a miracle of God. What you focus on, you find and you feel. For that very reason, you attract into your life that which you give focus to, so focus on God. Because as your focus grows, so does God, & as you spend your energy on Him, He becomes real for others. Proverbs 23:7. So a man thinketh, so is he.

The #CCP Threatens Nuclear Strikes

Posted on June 1, 2021 by Ken
Time to BREAK CHINA In 6 pieces … that will bring peace and remove a communist dictatorial threat !

‘Marxism Leninism Maoism Basic Course’ – Bing video
Introduction: Otto-Ernst Remer (August 18, 1912 – October 4, 1997) was a highly respected German Wehrmacht officer who played a decisive role in stopping the July 20, 1944 plot against Adolf Hitler. During the war he was wounded nine times in combat and ultimately promoted to Generalmajor (brigadier general). After the war he co-founded the Sozialistische Reichspartei (SRP). He remained a fervent National Socialist until the end of his days and is seen as a ‘Godfather’ in the postwar underground.

General Remer on the New Jewish World Order
“The main task of your generation is finding a healthy and honorable solution to the Palestinian question. Capitulating before Israel is not a solution; it is betraying the future generations. If you cannot obtain a victory today, the least you can do is not to capitulate without resisting. Instead of giving up, you must work seriously and create the economic, political and social conditions for the future victory. In the first place, you must conquer tyranny, decadence and corruption in your own heart! You must know that your strength is Israel’s weakness. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed like a rotten shed, whereas the vitality of the German people has been preserved in the seed and could lead us Germans to fresh progress. The Islam began in the 6th century as a cultural, spiritual and reforming movement against the superpowers of that time. The military strength of the Islam grew as a consequence of its spiritual strength. 
The only real solution of the Palestinian question lies in the return of the Palestinian people to their fatherland, in the setting up of a true Palestine,
that should be able to confine within its limits the Jewish usurping state.
Any solution violently extorted, any unjust peace will be rejected by future generations. The regimes that are in power in the Arab and Islamic world are like dead bodies. They perished because of their weakness. The future belongs to the forces of Islam. The Hamas and the Jihad [two uncompromising Islamic movements] are the Islamic response to the Zionist challenge. This is what takes place in your countries today: your leaders are politically finished. Instead of stepping down in honor, they cling bitterly to power and
try to drag their peoples along into the precipice.”   Read More:

Breaking: The #CCP Threats Nuclear Strikes On #US After US Announces Investigation into Origin of #CCPVirus. “Our nuclear missiles must be so numerous the U.S. elite will tremble at the thought of military confrontation with #China at that time.” “Given the intensifying U.S. strategic containment of China, I would like to remind once again that we have many urgent tasks, but one of the most important is to keep rapidly increasing the number of nuclear warheads and strategic missiles like the Dongfeng 41 with extremely long-range and high survival capabilities. This is the cornerstone of China’s strategic resilience against the United States.

“We must be prepared for a high-intensity showdown between the US and China, at which point a large number of DF-41 and JL-2 and JL-3 will be the backbone of our strategic will. Our nuclear missiles must be so numerous that the U.S. elite will tremble at the thought of military confrontation with China at that time.
“On such a basis, we can calmly and actively manage our differences with the U.S. and avoid all kinds of gunfire. As U.S. hostility toward China continues to burn, we need to use our strength and the unbearable risks they would face if they took the risk to force them to remain calm.” Asian people are more likely to get Covid-19 and die, study claims | Daily Mail Online

& then still wearing a mask on an airplane is secretly a red pill for these brainwashed turds. I mean sheep, I mean people!!!
So the CCP killed millions of people worldwide and tanked the global economy by releasing a bio weapon, and now they are threatening to nuke the US if they talk about it. That doesn’t seem like a great strategy. Both parties have been pushing for a hot war between either China (repubs) or Russia (dems). We’re at the mercy of greedy sociopaths. Sit back and enjoy the show. So Covid-19 really was the opening shot for World War III (WHICH is of the spiritual variety…)
Eventually the left will see why the rest of us tolerated Trump’s imperfections.

This is a SHIT show. China working with Biden admin. There was already an ongoing investigation, was there not? The Biden admin shut it down and now wants to figure out what’s going on. Seems like a reasonable proportional response. Wasn’t it Bill Clinton who declassified our nuclear secrets to China. Stupid liberals! How We Would Fight China. – The Atlantic

Have I missed anyone?

China was never very good at lying either this is rather par for the course, however it was only bad to call them liars with this virus. Any other time they were IP thieving capitalists when it came to cloning products & not viruses.
It was a biological attack! When are people going to see this for what it is!?! China threatening nuclear war with the USA? What is our DEFCON status?
If they threaten to use nukes over investigating the Covid-19 origin.

That shows they are guilty.

Between the Chinese cyber hacks that put Biden (Their straw man) into office to the Chinese spy’s assigned to work with politicians, they are taking over the United States! Research started right here in the good ole U.S. of A and was outsourced to China only after red flags arose due to the fact it was believed it could be used as a biological weapon. We are way overdue for a global war and the elites want one bad. This is the end game they want.

Nuclear means global nuclear winter and a new ice age. China and the
USA would kill humanity if this ever happened. It would add jet fuel to an uncontainable flame. If you think about totalitarian regimes, the strongest forces which lead to leadership selection are nepotism and/or psychopathy.

If the nukes are made in China we don’t have to worry.
Everything made in China is junk.

The more ruthless you are the more likely you are to succeed, no place for empathy. That is why we end up with Stalin, Mao, Hitler ….. now Xi. Your propaganda is weak, chairman Xi Jinping must be worried that if the truth
of the Covid source is from China he will be ousted for not containing the information flow. Pretty much everyone knows the coronavirus is a CCP Bioweapon and the vaccine is an unsafe experiment …WAKE UP USA!

China will be defeated if it goes into a misadventure spree.

Chinese PLA has not fought any war for decades. They may be numerous in numbers but weak and inexperienced. China would have its trade and energy interdicted thousands of miles before it even hit the South China Sea, w/in a short period it wouldn’t be able to feed its livestock + people, nor have energy or employ people. Don’t guide them…let them live in a Motley fool’s paradise…The last actual war they fought was against Vietnam, and they lost,

Only a guilty nation would threaten nuclear attack to prevent honest investigations into the search for truth in a global tragedy. CCP will never allow investigations of itself as it knows very well it’s at fault & will do everything to threaten the PLA but won’t strike. PLA knows if it strikes first then they will wipe out their own. You forgot. Trump is longer in office. If we do get attacked. Biden will do nothing.

An important thing to understand about the CCP is how all market enterprises trace back to it. There is no free press or free market. None can deviate from the party line. That being said, China is clearly at war with the West. Just look at recent Australian relations. Why not start here. They know it started in a lab in Wuhan. It’s coming.
Why is the CCP so scared of the US investigation? Face screaming in fear

Not knowing that since the cold war ended, America’s stockpile is now bigger, because the US doesn’t target any Russian locations anymore. Didn’t think of that did they? There is no winning in a nuclear war. Just in case, here’s one sobering thought. China can easily sacrifice 1 MILLION in a war, and not bat an eye. It’s NO COINCIDENCE that all the posturing really started after the most “popular” president ever (Rolling on the floor laughing) was “elected”.

The world will be watching AS We would wipe them off the face of the earth.

Traveling Back in Time

Posted on May 31, 2021 by Ken
Lady Pie 🇺🇲 on Twitter: “Terrifying if this is true. https://t.co/ntlkxoHrvx” / Twitter

CDC studying reports of heart inflammation in young Covid vaccine recipients | Coronavirus | The Guardian

Traveling back in time: 1969 This entry has me time traveling back
 60 years to the impossibly distant year 1960. Surprisingly, I have a lot of memories from that time in childhood when I was 9 years old. Part of the reason is that I have so many rich associations of that special place in the past where time itself didn’t seem to exist.
The USS Enterprise is thrown back in time to Earth during the 1960s by the effects of a high-gravity “black star”. Enterprise ends up in Earth’s upper atmosphere, and is picked up as a UFO on military radar. Also Neil Alden Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon.  Armstrong set his left boot on the lunar surface at 02:56 UTC July 21, 1969, then said, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.”
He was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio, on August 5, 1930.

Armstrong prepared his famous epigram on his own.
 In a post-flight press conference, he said that he chose the words “just prior to leaving the LM.” In a 1983 interview in Esquire magazine, he explained to George Plimpton: “I always knew there was a good chance of being able to return to Earth, but I thought the chances of a successful touch down on the moon surface were about even money—fifty–fifty … Most people don’t realize how difficult the mission was. So it didn’t seem to me there was much point in thinking of something to say if we’d have to abort landing.” In 2012, his brother Dean Armstrong said that Neil showed him a draft of the line months before the launch. 

In the 1960’s, Haight-Ashbury 60s – Haight-Ashbury, now called the Upper Haight, was a haven for cultural revolutionaries: hippies, artists, and psychedelic rock musicians from Jefferson Airplane to Grateful Dead.
 But not all of its hippie history has vaporized disillusioned down the rabbit hole, thanks to local preservationist Norman Larson. As American air raids wreaked havoc on Vietnamese soil in 1967, in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood it was the Summer of Love. 
A series of natural and political events would transpire before Haight-Ashbury would become the epicenter of the “Free Love” mentality. During its heyday, which culminated in 1967’s infamous Summer of Love, young dreamers converged in the Haight by the thousands. Historians deem the neighborhood the birthplace of the hippie movement, marked by peaceful protests and psychedelic experimentation.

The era’s greatest luminaries, from Jerry Garcia to Allen Ginsberg to Jimi Hendrix, all lived nearby. Then the movement waned, and the area began to decay along with it. “By the fall of 1967, Haight-Ashbury was nearly abandoned, trashed, and laden with drugs and homeless people,” blogger Jon Newman wrote in his essay Death of the Hippie Subculture. “With the Haight in ruins and most of its residents gone, it was simply unable to operate as a hub for music, poetry and art.”

Of course, the Haight still has a certain appeal.

There’s no better jazz-and-pizza combo in the city than at Club Deluxe, Amoeba Music offers a truly epic collection, a parklet just popped up in front of Haight Street Market and the 12-piece band that assembles in front of American Apparel on Sunday mornings always move crowds to dance in the street. Yet we can’t help but heave a sigh while pushing past gaggles of gawking tourists or stepping over the man sleeping on the sidewalk at noon.

While a stroll down Haight Street today certainly evokes nostalgia, it also makes us yearn for a place that was once the epicenter of peace and love and youth in revolt, a place we never had the chance to experience ourselves but will be forever ingrained in San Francisco’s complex,
progressive history. These are the types of people that’s trying vividly to ruin our country from inside our government today. (Bill Gates Nancy Pelosi Chuck Schumer And The Commies Found Them.)

How Many Vaccines Did Kids Get in the 1960s? – VAXOPEDIA

Kids got multiple doses of DPT, DT, polio, and smallpox vaccines in 1960. Using the same anti-vaccine math that gets us to 72 doses today, these kids in 1960 got 31 doses! In 1963, the measles vaccine was developed, and by the late 1960s, vaccines were also available to protect against mumps (1967) and rubella (1969). These three vaccines were combined into the MMR vaccine by Dr. Maurice Hilleman in 1971. Different COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC

Can people vaccinated against COVID-19 still spread the coronavirus?
Sanjay Mishra

Syringes with the Astrazeneca active ingredient (l-r), Comirnaty from Biontech/Pfizer and from Moderna lie prepared in trays for vaccination against Corona. 

When the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed its guidelines about mask-wearing on May 13, 2021, plenty of Americans were left a little confused. Now anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and outdoor activities, large or small, without wearing a mask or physical distancing.
Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden, said the new guideline is “based on the evolution of science” and “serves as an incentive” for the almost two-thirds of Americans who are not yet fully vaccinated to go ahead and get the shot.
But some people cannot be vaccinated because of underlying conditions. Others with weakened immune systems, from cancer or medical treatments, may not be fully protected by their vaccinations. Children aged 12 to 15 became eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine only on May 10, 2021. And no COVID-19 vaccines are yet authorized for the nearly 50 million children in the U.S. younger than 12.

As restrictions are lifted and people start to leave their masks at home, some people worry: Can you catch COVID-19 from someone who’s vaccinated?

Vaccines don’t always prevent infection
Researchers had hoped to design safe COVID-19 vaccines that would prevent at least half of the people vaccinated from getting COVID-19 symptoms.
Fortunately, the vaccines have vastly outperformed expectations. For example, in 6.5 million residents of Israel, aged 16 years and older, the Pfizer–BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was found to be 95.3% effective after both shots. Within two months, among the 4.7 million fully vaccinated, the detectable infections fell by 30-fold. Similarly in California and Texas, only 0.05% of fully vaccinated health care workers tested positive for COVID-19.
Vaccine developers often hope that, in addition to preventing illness, their vaccines will achieve “sterilizing immunity,” where the vaccination blocks the germ from even being able to get into the body at all. This sterilizing immunity means someone who’s vaccinated will neither catch the virus nor transmit it further. For a vaccine to be effective, though, it doesn’t need to prevent the germ from infecting an immunized person.
The Salk inactivated polio vaccine, for instance, does not completely stop polio virus from growing in the human gut. But it is extremely effective at preventing the crippling disease because it triggers antibodies that block the virus from infecting the brain and spinal cord. Good vaccines provide effective and durable training for the body’s immune system, so when it actually encounters the disease-causing pathogen, it’s ready to mount an optimum response.
When it comes to COVID-19, immunologists are still figuring out what they call the “correlates of protection,” factors that predict just how protected someone is against the coronavirus. Researchers believe that an optimum amount of “neutralizing antibodies,” the type that not only bind the virus but also prevent it from infecting, are sufficient to fend off repeat infections. Scientists are also still assessing the durability of immunity that the COVID-19 vaccines are providing and where in the body it’s working.

Can a vaccinated person spread coronavirus?
Immunologists expect vaccines that protect against viral illnesses to also reduce transmission of the virus after vaccination. But it’s actually tricky to figure out for sure if vaccinated people are not spreading the germ.
COVID-19 poses a particular challenge because people with asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic infections can spread the disease – and insufficient contact tracing and testing mean those without symptoms are rarely detected. Some scientists estimate that the number of asymptomatic COVID-19 infections in the overall population could be 3 to 20 times higher than the number of confirmed cases. Research suggests that undocumented cases of COVID-19 in people who either were asymptomatic or experienced very mild disease could be responsible for up to 86% of all infections, though other studies contradict the high estimates.
In one study, the CDC tested volunteer health care personnel and other front-line workers at eight U.S. locations for SARS-CoV-2 infections weekly for three months, regardless of symptoms or vaccination status. The researchers found that fully immunized participants were 25 times less likely to test positive for COVID-19 than were those who were unvaccinated. Findings like this imply that if vaccinated people are so well protected from getting infected at all, they are also unlikely to spread the virus. But without contact tracing to track transmission in a larger population, it’s impossible to know if the assumption is true.

What we know for sure is that if someone does get sick with COVID-19 after vaccination, in what is called a “breakthrough infection,” symptoms will be milder. Studies have found that people who tested positive for COVID-19 after getting just their first vaccine dose had lower levels of virus in their bodies than unvaccinated people who tested positive. The researchers believe the decreased viral load hints that vaccinated people who do contract the virus will be less infectious because they will have much less virus that could be spread to others.
A preprint study which has not yet been peer-reviewed suggests that the Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccine can produce coronavirus-fighting antibodies in the oral and nasal fluid. Since that’s where SARS-CoV-2 makes its entry, antibodies in the mouth and nose should block the virus from getting into the body, effectively providing “sterilizing immunity.” This would also mean vaccinated people probably wouldn’t spread the virus through respiratory droplets.
These bits of evidence are promising. But without more studies, scientists cannot yet conclude that COVID-19 vaccines really do protect against all transmission. Studies attempting to directly answer this question through contact tracing are just beginning: Researchers will track COVID-19 infections among vaccinated and unvaccinated volunteers and their close contacts.

Protection and prevention go hand in hand
Vaccines help slow down the spread of an infectious disease by breaking the chain of infection. Those who are infected eventually have fewer and fewer unprotected people to pass the virus on to. This is how a vaccine increases herd immunity – susceptible and not-yet-immunized people are surrounded by a “herd” of people who have become immune, thanks to vaccination or previous infection. But studies suggest that, for a combination of biological and social reasons, vaccination alone is unlikely to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 and fully contain the coronavirus.
In fact, vaccination alone can take a long time to eradicate any disease. Even diseases that are nearly “eliminated” – such as chickenpox, measles and pertussis – can resurface with waning immunity and declining vaccine rates.

The recent outbreak of infections among the vaccinated New York Yankees shows that vaccinated people not only can still get infected, they might also transmit the coronavirus to close contacts. Highly tested groups, such as professional sports teams, spotlight the fact that mild, asymptomatic infections among the vaccinated in the general population might actually be more frequent than reported. A similar outbreak in airport workers in Singapore shows that, even among the fully vaccinated, new and more infectious variants can spread fast.
The CDC’s relaxed guidelines on masking are meant to reassure vaccinated people that they are safe from serious illness. And they are. But the picture is less clear-cut for the unvaccinated who interact with them. Until near herd immunity against COVID-19 is achieved, and clear evidence accumulates that vaccinated people do not spread the virus, I and many epidemiologists believe it is better to avoid situations where there are chances to get infected. Vaccination coupled with continued masking and social distancing is still an effective way to stay safer.

A Vaccine Side Effect Leaves Women Wondering: Why Isn’t the Pill Safer?
Apoorva Mandavilli…

Apoorva Mandavilli on Twitter: “So: What exactly does the CDC’s mask guidance mean?
And should you trust it? It’s been a day. And a week. But it’s best to do this while everything is fresh, so here’s a 🧵” / Twitter

Last month, as the Food and Drug Administration paused use of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine to evaluate the risk of blood clots in women under 50, many scientists noted that clots associated with birth control pills were much more common. Kelly Tyrrell, an ultramarathon runner in Madison, Wis., was advised to stop taking estrogen after blood clots were discovered in her lungs. The clots linked to the vaccine were a dangerous type in the brain, while birth control pills increase the chances of a blood clot in the leg or lung — a point quickly noted by many experts.

But the distinction made little difference to some women.
“Where was everyone’s concern for blood clots when we started putting 14-year-old girls on the pill,” one woman wrote on Twitter.
Another said, “If birth control was made for men it’d taste like bacon and be free.”
Some women heard, on social media and elsewhere, that they should not complain because they had chosen to take birth control knowing the risks involved. “That just made me double down,” said Mia Brett, an expert in legal history focused on race and sexuality. “This is such a common response to women’s health care — that we point out something and it’s dismissed.”
The torrent of fury online was familiar to experts in women’s health. “They should be angry — women’s health just does not get equal attention,” said Dr. Eve Feinberg, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at Northwestern University. “There’s a huge sex bias in all of medicine.”

Dr. Feinberg and many of the women online acknowledge that contraceptives have given women control over their fertility, and the benefits far exceed the harms. Rebecca Fishbein, a 31-year-old culture writer, started tweeting about the inadequacy of birth control pills almost immediately after the announcement of the pause.
Still, “birth control is an incredible invention, thank God we have it,” she said last month in an interview. “I’ll fight anyone who tried to take it away.” contraceptives have also improved over the years, with intrauterine devices and oral options that offer an ultralow dose of estrogen. “Over all, it’s incredibly safe,” Dr. Feinberg said. “Everything that we do has risks.”
But Dr. Feinberg said it was crucial for health care providers to discuss the risks with their patients and coach them on worrisome symptoms — a conversation many women said they had never had. Kelly Tyrrell, a communications professional in Madison, Wis., was 37 when doctors discovered potentially fatal blood clots in her lungs.

image.png
Ms. Tyrrell is an endurance athlete — wiry, strong and not prone to anxiety. 

In early 2019, she began waking up with a pain in her left calf. After one particularly bad morning, an urgent care visit revealed that she had high blood levels of “D dimer,” a protein fragment that indicates the presence of clots. She had been taking birth control pills for 25 years, but none of the doctors made a connection. Instead, they said that given her age, fitness and the lack of other risk factors, her symptoms were unlikely to be from a blood clot. 
They sent her home with instructions to do stretches for her calf muscle. When she felt a tightness in her chest while running in Hawaii after her grandmother’s funeral, doctors said the cause was probably stress and anxiety. In July 2019, she finished a 100K race in Colorado and assumed her aching lungs and purple lips were the result of running for 19 hours at a high altitude. But she knew something was seriously wrong on the morning of Oct. 24, 2019, when she became short of breath after walking up a short flight of stairs.  
This time, after ruling out heart problems, doctors scanned her lungs and discovered multiple clots. One had cut off blood flow to a portion of her right lung. “I instantly burst into tears,” Ms. Tyrrell recalled. The doctors put her on a course of blood thinners — and told her never to touch estrogen again. Ms. Tyrrell switched to a copper IUD. Over time, she added, the incident had escalated into a sharp rage that was renewed by the Johnson & Johnson news.

“Part of my anger was that a medication that I took to control my fertility ended up threatening my mortality,” she said. “I’m angry that I hadn’t been counseled better about that risk, or even what to look for.” The comparison was intended to reassure women of the vaccine’s safety. Instead, it has stoked anger in some quarters — not about the pause, but about the fact that most contraceptives available to women are hundreds of times riskier, and yet safer alternatives are not in sight.
Emily Farris, 36, was prescribed oral contraceptives at age 18 to help with migraines. In all of the conversations she has had with her many doctors over the years, “never once was blood clots brought up,” she said in an interview. On Twitter, some critics pointed out that the inserts with birth control packs clearly describe the blood clot risk. “My response is a bit incredulous to that,” said Dr. Farris, a political scientist at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.

The inserts for most medications have a long list of possible side effects, placing “a high burden for folks to try to sort through medical research, to sort through what probability and statistics mean,” she said. Even with a Ph.D.-level education, “I can’t assess those risks,” Dr. Farris added. “I think most Americans need someone to translate what the legalese kind of pamphlet is into real terms.”
For Ms. Tyrrell, that elucidation came much too late. Her lungs have not felt the same since her diagnosis, but she is not sure whether that is because of lingering damage from a previous blood clot, new clots that she should be worried about or simply her age, she said, adding, “It’s never not on my mind anymore.” In this episode we have the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Tyrrell.Kelly is the Director of Research Communications at University of Wisconsin-Madison and an accomplished ultra-runner.

@AjayKSethi  talks about herd immunity, COVID-19 vaccination, and how we should start thinking about safely getting back to the activities we care about —-> Badger Talks – When will we achieve herd immunity? – YouTube

Back to basics regarding herd immunity and the % vaccinated statistic as evidence for achieving it. In my ID epidemiology class, which just wrapped up, I teach the following assumptions inherent in those calculations and the prospect for herd immunity (applied to SARS-CoV-2): 1/8

Assumption 1: The disease agent is transmitted within a single host species. This seems true. We know humans can infect animals but there is no evidence that animals are a significant source of infection for people (i.e., a non-human reservoir). https://cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/animals.html… 2/8

Assumption 2: Transmission must be relatively direct. This is true. Majority of people are infected with SARS-CoV-2 through exposure to respiratory droplets within close range of someone who is infectious. https://cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/science-and-research/surface-transmission.html… 3/8

Assumption 3: Vaccination or natural infection produces solid immunity. So far, this is true. Immunity from vaccines last at least six months and is preferred over immunity from natural infection, which may not be as robust. New variants are the wildcard, hence “the race”. 4/8

Assumption 4 applies to the % vaccinated calculation: The probability of an infected person encountering every other person in the population is the same (i.e., random mixing). This assumption is never met because people don’t randomly mix. Neither do cattle in a herd. 5/8

Back-of-the envelope math to estimate how much vaccination is needed to achieve herd immunity is problematic because those who are vaccinated are not representative of those who are not, and right now unvaccinated people are gathering (e.g., children). 6/8

Talk about the U.S. or an entire state achieving herd immunity is just silly. But people >16 in a household or at a gathering where everyone is vaccinated can feel confident that there won’t be an outbreak of COVID-19 in their herd. 7/8

We just need to focus on encouraging people to choose vaccination. As more people are vaccinated, case rates and hospitalizations will go down further and stay down (barring variants escaping immunity), and we will all begin to feel safer and even more normal as a community. 8/8

Reel for Empath By David Sauvage – EMPATHS UNITE!
We are empaths. We feel what you’re feeling, whether we like it or not.
We feel it in our bodies. 
We know how you’re doing. When you say you’re doing fine, we know it isn’t true. We know what’s happening. Because it’s happening to us, too. 
EMPATHS UNITE!  –  Are you an empath? Do you feel the feelings of others as if they were your own? Are you confused about what to do about it? Do you want to develop this ability into a real superpower?
We’re gathering empaths together for one highly sensitive night to learn from each other.  – Splash!!!  

Reel for Empath David Sauvage – YouTube

Empaths Unite! – WE ARE EMPATHS

We feel what you’re feeling, whether we like it or not. We feel it in our bodies.
We know how you’re doing. When you say you’re doing fine, we know it isn’t true.
We know what’s happening. Because it’s happening to us, too.
We do not mean this conceptually. We mean it literally.

We feel the feelings underneath your words, coming at us like bad breath. When you are anxious, we are anxious with your anxiety. When you are sad, we are sad with your sadness.
When you light up, we light up, too.
We may or may not be psychic. We may pick up information from other realms, but not necessarily. We may see auras or have visions or we may not.
What we share is nothing more and nothing less than the experience of your feelings in our bodies.
Feeling deeply is a beautiful thing, don’t misunderstand, but it does not make you an empath. What makes us empaths is that we feel you deeply.
We have been called sensitive and hyper-sensitive. We have been called weak. We have been told to toughen up. We have been told to get with the program.  
We have been told lies.
We listened, but we did not believe it. We believed in something else, something we didn’t have words for.

We believed in Another World.
We believed in it, but we didn’t say it.
Now is the time to say it.
We call for a world built on empathy.

We call for a world that honors the emotional realm as sacred.
We call for a world that values the deepest experience of human beings and animals and the Earth herself above business, above money, above power.
Emotions are not obstacles on the way to achieving your goals. Emotions are the soul’s way of expressing your deepest needs.

The era of achievement is over. The era of empathy has begun.
You do not have to figure anything out. You just have to learn the language of emotions, their texture, their subtlety, their flow.
Do not attach words to your feelings too quickly. Do not explain them.
Not until you know them. Honor your feelings as they are.

Everyone likes to say separateness is an illusion. As an abstract idea, it doesn’t really matter. If you want to know it, really know it, know this: your emotions are my emotions; your pain is my pain; your joy is my joy. These are not words, this is not poetry, this is our life.
Empaths, we have been hiding. We have been hiding because we felt rejected. But they were not rejecting us. They were rejecting themselves.

They are ready now.
They are ready because there is no other choice. Not anymore.
They are ready to believe the stirrings of their hearts.
They are calling for us.
Let us face this responsibility together. Let us gather in circles, in person and online, physically and energetically.

We will feel each other’s struggles. We will feel the struggles of all those whose struggles we have brought with us.  
We will acknowledge, to each other, the profound service we have been rendering, unacknowledged, to all of you.
We will laugh at the silliness of it.
What a relief.

We will learn from each other. How to protect ourselves. How to put on the proper shield. How to untangle the deepest entanglements.
We will unlock the locks. We will empty ourselves, tune into whomever we like, discover what is knowable, and use this knowledge for their benefit or ours.
We will release everything that is not ours. We will call back everything that is.
We will close our eyes, feel the feeling of the circle, feel our fellow empaths feeling it. We will disappear together into this feeling of togetherness.
We will amplify this feeling by bringing our attention to it. We will amplify it beyond our circles, beyond the spaces where we’ve gathered, beyond our understanding of the stale rules of cause and effect.
This is the joy of true interconnection. What everyone is searching for, our bodies have already mastered.
We will amplify this feeling with such power, it will explode the great lie of our culture.
We know our purpose.
We feel you, we feel all of you, we feel everything.
We are here so that you may know yourself through us. So that you may know yourself as us. So that we may be as one.

Globalist Plot to Mandate COVID-19 Vaccine Exposes Shocking Satanic Conspiracy

COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATE: The Horrifying Hidden Agenda 
There are at least 3 essential takeaways from that extremely revealing and radioactive presentation made by an experienced bioweapon scientist who appeared to be the point man for the FunVax project. As follows:
(1) The U.S. Military biological weapons program has been creating a vaccine that is specifically formulated to immunize targeted individuals and populations against the expression of the God gene, also known as vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2). The suppression of VMAT2 has been a primary goal of US biological weapon laboratories for decades with the ostensible purpose of neutralizing terrorists who act on their religious fanaticism. However, the real goal is to inoculate people the world over against the inclination toward spiritual pursuits and/or mystical experiences (see the screenshot below). Some deep insiders have even surmised that the real purpose of the FunVax is to permanently stunt soul development.

(2) The most practical form that a VMAT2 vaccination program can take in light of the necessity for extreme secrecy is a respiratory virus, which could be covertly released throughout any city or nation or region of the world. This would eliminate the problem posed by those societies that are averse to vaccinations administered by injection. Religious cultures, in general, are increasingly fearful of the true intention behind immunization shots. Many folks have not only experienced and/or witnessed adverse vaccine side effects, they are also rightly skeptical of their efficacy.
(3) The proposed FunVax vaccine would be aerosolized in a manner similar to the systematic, wide area and indiscriminate spraying of chemtrails over the unsuspecting population below. Because the U.S. Armed Forces have forever denied the existence of chemtrails, most citizenries have been conditioned to falsely believe they are contrails. In this way, aerosolized vaccines can be furtively administered to the citizenry of any nation that illicitly permits chemical geoengineering operations.

Misinformation about adrenochrome and its supposed links to Covid-19 has gone into overdrive. But what is it? We separate the substance’s literary history from its real-world functions.
Read more about the bizarre life of the ‘truth about adrenochrome’ story here
If you’ve spent much time online lately, like everyone else in lockdown, you’ve probably fallen down some strange Covid-19 rabbit holes. One word you might have seen is “adrenochrome”. It’s popular with the conspiracy set: it makes you young, or high, or part of a Satanic tribute. Before you become hypnotized by the swathes of Facebook comment threads, you should know how it got its mystical status.

Where have I heard of adrenochrome?
 Aldous Huxley’s 1954 essay “The Doors of Perception”,

Aldous Huxley’s 1954 essay “The Doors of Perception”, written mostly about his experiences with mescaline, discusses the possibility that adrenochrome is a compound with similar effects to the psychedelic cactus. He has not taken it, and doesn’t know how one would obtain it, saying just that it’s spontaneously produced by the human body. He describes it as “a product of the decomposition of adrenaline”, which is, surprisingly, correct.
There’s a brief mention of “drencrom” in the 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange, where it’s an optional addition to the cocktail (glass of milk) Moloko Plus, but probably the most cited use of the compound is in Hunter S Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It might be a novel, but many assumed it was a real thing that people really did. Thompson did not explain the adrenochrome buzz in  great detail, but this probably isn’t too far from his vision: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (10/10) Movie CLIP – Too Much Adrenochrome (1998) HD – YouTube
It’s important for anyone reading Fear and Loathing to remember that Gonzo journalism, the writing style Thompson invented, is based around fictionalization and exaggeration of real-life events. In the DVD commentary on the 1998 Fear and Loathing adaptation, – Bing video director Terry Gilliam said Thompson told him he made the whole adrenochrome thing up.

Does adrenochrome exist at all?
Yes. Just like Huxley said, adrenochrome is a compound formed by the oxidation of adrenaline. Its main medical use is to slow blood loss by promoting clotting in open wounds. It’s available for purchase online by researchers, with most outlets stating its source is synthetic and its uses are the inhibition of COMT (which deactivates certain neurotransmitters), and the synthesis of prostaglandins (fats involved with blood clotting).
When asked for comment, the University of Auckland neuropharmacology and neuroscience departments said it wasn’t on their radar.
It’s got a cool name, and some medical uses, but by and large it’s not a very exciting compound. Sorry.

Is there a hallucinogenic drug called adrenochrome?
In his 1973 book Legal Highs, Adam Gottlieb described adrenochromes being “physically stimulating” and inducing “a feeling of well-being, slight reduction of thought processes”. It’s unknown whether he ever took the drug or if this was based on hearsay.  Legal Highs also contained entries on catnip and guarana, so the bar for a “high” was low.
Most reports of adrenochrome throughout literature sound a lot like DMT — it’s very possible Beatniks just gave DMT the cool name “adrenochrome” and the real compound got caught up in the mix.

Why are people talking about it now?
Adrenochrome is a popular topic in conspiracy circles: it’s a drug of the Hollywood elite, it’s addictive, it’s harvested from tortured children in Satanic rituals, they reckon. The current strain of theory is that a huge amount of celebrities have come down with Covid-19 due to a tainted batch of adrenochrome.
Most celebrities classified as “liberal Hollywood elite” are American or British, two nations that have been struggling to manage the Covid-19 outbreak, so it’s not hugely surprising that many have contracted the virus.
Adrenochrome harvesting, according to the conspiracies, is done by: drinking blood, heart surgery, or tapping into the brainstem. The adrenal glands are located above the kidneys, so that’s probably where you really want to look.

Why does anyone believe children are tortured to harvest adrenochrome?
The blame must land on Hunter S Thompson. In Fear and Loathing,  the character Dr. Gonzo says: “There’s only one source for this stuff… the adrenaline glands from a living human body. It’s no good if you get it out of a corpse.”  You could also argue that this conspiracy is weirdly similar to the plot of the film   Monsters Inc., and maybe that’s part of the cultural background making this theory seem reasonable to some.
Does adrenochrome have anything to do with Covid-19?
No.
Are you, the mainstream media, lying to us about this?

Phil Mickelson Psoriatic Arthritis Diet.

Everybody’s a Survivor – In One Way Or Another!!!
Phil Mickelson on how a bad diet led to him developing arthritis and
how his new regime is paying off. Mickelson has managed to burn more calories than he takes in, which explains how he is in such good shape.
The diet contains of many food groups, mainly lean cuts of beef, pork,
and poultry, preferably grass-fed, organic, or free-range selections which have proven to be healthier.

For Phil Mickelson, the best part of waking up is a personalized coffee concoction.
fOR Phil friend’s Dave Phillips, the co-founder of the Titleist Performance Institute.
He is responsible for Mickelson’s coffee obsession.
“I’m a coffee custodian,” says Phillips. “I find the best and share it with
my friends. If there was such a thing as a coffee sommelier, I would be it.”
Mickelson brews his magic elixir in a Presse, made by Bobble.
Here is the tick-tock from Phillips: “Fill to the top with coarse ground Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee, then add water heated to 200 degrees.
Stir five or six times, wait three minutes and then plunge it.
(If you wait too long the beans get bitter.)

Phil then pours it into a Bodum pot and adds Califa Farms almond milk,
a dash of cinnamon, a few Yiragacheffe Cacao nibs (80%) and a little medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, which is extracted from coconuts. With a hand electric blender he mixes it until slightly frothy and that’s it.

Meet Kyler Aubrey, the golf fan who got the ball after that amazing
bunker shot by Phil Mickelson at PGA Championship.

Incredible moment at PGA Championship – Statesboro Herald
Buried in Kyler Aubrey’s closet is a Masters flag from 2013 signed by just one player: Phil Mickelson. When Aubrey met Mickelson and his wife Amy that year at Augusta National, Mickelson immediately bent down to sign Aubrey’s flag. But Mickelson accidentally wrote the wrong name on it – subsequently scribbled it out – and a horrified Amy promised the Aubrey family that her husband would sign a new one and they’d have it shipped.
Sure enough, the flag showed up a few weeks later at Aubrey’s home in Statesboro, Georgia. On Sunday at the PGA Championship, Aubrey acquired another piece of Mickelson memorabilia. He and his dad Josh were just inside the ropes by No. 5 green at Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course when Mickelson holes out from the sand, securing the birdie that helped him separate himself from the pack.
“When we were there we could actually see a perfect view of Phil making the shot and we were just screaming. When Phil made it, he came up to us and said, “Here’s my lucky ball, I want you guys to have it, thank you for coming,” Josh said.
“…We were so in the moment that we didn’t even notice that Kyler had dropped the ball. Phil turned around and picked it back up and set it on his lap.”

Love to see it.  @PhilMickelson #PGAChampionship pic.twitter.com/UYIRUHnU3k

Kyler Aubrey, 28, has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair. At Kiawah,
the sand is particularly hard for him to navigate – something Josh realized in 2012. The Aubreys had practice-round tickets to that PGA Championship, and then lucked into tickets for the rest of the week, too. Statesboro is only a 2 ½-hour drive from the South Carolina coast.

“While we were going around the course we kept getting stuck,” Josh said. “David Feherty came up to us and said I noticed you guys kept getting stuck – this was like Sunday afternoon – he said I want to give you this all-access pass, you can go anyway you want to on the golf course.”
Feherty’s generosity made a world of difference in traversing the difficult terrain. It also helped spark lifelong friendships. Roughly an hour before McIlroy closed out his win that year, Josh and Kyler were near the scoring
tent. “I was like, I wonder if we can go up here,” Josh remembered thinking. “We went in there and they let us through and all the golfers that finished would walk right by us.”
The Aubreys had spoken with Graeme McDowell in a practice round early last week, and when McDowell saw them sitting there on Sunday, he joined them
to chat with Kyler for nearly an hour. McDowell then introduced the family to Rory McIlroy.
Through the years, the Aubreys have maintained those friendships as they’ve attended Tour events all around the Southeast like the Players Championship and the Tour Championship. McIlroy always seeks out Kyler to catch up, Josh says, and the Aubreys have stayed at McDowell’s house a couple of times while attending the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. McIlroy provided tickets for this week’s PGA Championship.

A few years ago, Rickie Fowler, who has also become a friend, approached the Aubreys on the back of the practice range at Bay Hill and, when he found out they didn’t have Masters tickets for that year, got them tickets for the whole week.
Statesboro is also only an hour and a half from Augusta, so Kyler and Josh
have frequently attended the Wednesday practice round at the Masters.
Kyler enjoys Wednesdays the most because it’s when he can interact with the players he’s developed relationships with through the years. He has been a golf fan since he was just a little boy, when Josh used to take him to the golf course and bungee his car seat into the golf cart while he played. Kyler loved to watch.
“When he was little, like 2 or 3 years old, he would get over to the TV & change the channel to the Golf Channel. Instead of watching cartoons, he was watching the Golf Channel,” Josh said.

Tiger Woods was just gaining in popularity about that time, and the Aubreys attended the Tour event in Hilton Head, South Carolina, in 1999 – the only year Woods played the event.
“Kyler was 6 when that happened, when he played,” Josh said.
“That just kind of took it to a new level and then that’s all he wanted to do.”
Kyler’s younger sister Sloan, 19, also loves golf. She has played since the sixth grade, and continues to play, though not collegiately. Sunday at the PGA Championship was particularly special because Sloan was with the boys, too.

When Kyler was 22 and Sloan was 12, their brother Jordan, 17, died in a car accident. That’s when Kyler and Sloan grew closer. Golf has always brought the family together. The PGA Championship, however, marked the first time — in nearly two years the Aubreys had gotten to be fans because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At a tournament, Kyler is always an easy person for Tour players to spot.
eople would see him and he’s always in a good mood, he loves being out there, he’s always got a big smile and he always wants to give those guys hugs,” Josh said. “I think that’s what he likes so much about golf is they’ll interact with him.” Kyler brightens their day, just as they brighten his.

Open 2013: VIDEO – Phil Mickelson hits flop shot backwards | Daily Mail Online

Brotherly love: Phil Mickelson wins the PGA Championship with brother Tim on the bag

Mickelson’s victory has inspired every golfer in his 40s or even early 50s to dream big again. Now it’s a reality for older golfers to compete and win on the biggest stage.
“It was unbelievable watching that,” said Colleyville resident and Texas A&M product Ryan Palmer, who is 44. “I was glued to the TV. It was a very special, very emotional win. It just shows you that anyone can win out here. There’s no doubt in my mind that I can win out here again. It’s just a matter of time.”
Along with players in their 40s, Mickelson’s victory has also resonated with the younger players on tour. Jordan Spieth, a 27-year-old who has already won three majors, used the terms “wild” and “incredible” to describe Mickelson’s victory.
Spieth also acknowledged how Mickelson has made himself available to the younger players. He’s always been really helpful to the younger guys on getting us pumped up, inspired, somebody you could bounce ideas off of,” Spieth said. “To have that person be so welcoming and be so good to the younger generation out here too and then set the example he has, I think we’re really lucky with that.”

The respect goes both ways. Mickelson raved about seeing 48-year-old
Richard Bland win for the first time on the European Tour earlier this month. It was Bland’s 478th career start on the European Tour. He’s also enjoyed seeing players in their late 40s such as Stewart Cink and Brian Gay win on tour of late as well as players such as Spieth find their way back to the winner’s circle.“
There’s places to find motivation and inspiration all over,” Mickelson said.
“I really get a lot more out of playing with the young players than they get out of playing with me because I get to see what I need to be able to do to compete.”
Nobody is playing the game better than Mickelson these days. 
He crushed a 366-yard drive, the longest of the day, on the 16th during Sunday’s final round at the PGA Championship, and he made the clutch
shots down the stretch.
Everybody noticed, including the 2020 PGA Championship winner Collin Morikawa. Morikawa was 23-years-old when he won the PGA compared to Mickelson being 50.
“Golf’s in a great spot. Anyone can win. Anyone can play well,” said Morikawa, who is in Colonial’s field following a runner-up finish in 2020. “I thought about Phil’s win, and it’s not like I’ve seen Phil’s entire career. He won his first event 30 years ago. I’m 24 now. I still consider him as a competitor. It’s not like he stopped and he’s trying to get better. He’s trying every day to get better.
“It’s cool to see someone at 50 like that come out and win because it just gives me hope. It gives me just that passion because I love this game and want to play as long as I can.”

David Feherty, Phil – Bing video

ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2017) – World Golf Hall of Fame member and
5 time major champion Phil Mickelson joined Emmy-nominated television personality David Feherty Monday, March 6 at 9 p.m. ET on the season premiere of Feherty. Part I of a two-part interview with Mickelson, the premiere will kick off the seventh season of the original series, which will celebrate the 100th episode milestone in 2017 and welcome Farmers Insurance(R) as the show’s presenting sponsor.

A 42-time PGA TOUR winner, Mickelson has built a career around his flair
for the dramatic and an aggressive playing style, with the sum of countless signature moments elevating him into one of the most beloved fan-favorites in the history of the sport. Filmed at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego, Mickelson discusses a wide range of topics with Feherty, including: · Winning his first Masters in 2004, and why his 2010 Masters victory was the first time he ever cried after winning a golf tournament.

· Justifying his second shot on the 13th hole at Augusta National from the
pine straw in his final round of the same 2010 Masters, and explaining how it was a calculated “percentage play,” accounting for the least margin of error.

· The outpouring of emotional support his family received from fans and the golf community when both his wife Amy and mother Mary were diagnosed with breast cancer just six weeks apart in 2009.

Emotional Masters win for Mickelson

In 2010, Mickelson won the Masters Tournament on April 11 with a 16-under-par performance, giving him a three-stroke win over Lee Westwood The win marked the third Masters victory for Mickelson and his fourth major championship overall.[47]
 Critical to Mickelson’s win was a dramatic run in the third round on Saturday in which Mickelson, trailing leader Westwood by five strokes as he prepared his approach shot to the 13th green, proceeded to make eagle, then to hole-out for eagle from 141 yards at the next hole, the par 4 14th, then on the next, the par 5 15th, to miss eagle from 81 yards by mere inches. After tapping in for birdie at 15, Mickelson, at −12, led Westwood, at −11, who had bogeyed hole 12 and failed to capitalize on the par 5 13th, settling for par.

Westwood recaptured a one-stroke lead by the end of the round, but the momentum carried forward for Mickelson into round 4, where he posted a bogey-free 67 to Westwood’s 71. No other pursuer was able to keep pace to the end, though K. J. Choi and Anthony Kim made notable charges. For good measure, Mickelson birdied the final hole and memorably greeted his waiting wife, Amy, with a prolonged hug and kiss.[48]
For many fans, Mickelson’s finish in the tournament was especially poignant, given that Amy had been suffering from breast cancer during the preceding year. Mary Mickelson, Phil’s mother, was also dealing with cancer. CBS Sports announcer Jim Nantz‘s call of the final birdie putt, “That’s a win for the family,” was seen by many as capturing the moment well.[49]

Tiger Woods had a dramatic return to competitive play after a scandal-ridden 20-week absence; he was in close contention throughout for the lead and finished tied with Choi for 4th at −11. Mickelson and others showed exciting play over the weekend, and the 2010 Masters had strong television ratings in the United States, ranking third all-time to Woods’s historic wins in 1997 and 2001.[50]      SOURCE:   Phil Mickelson – Wikipedia·

Record viewership for Feherty in 2016
Season six of Feherty last year earned the highest “average viewers per minute” on both a Live+Same Day, and Live plus 3-day DVR playback basis since the series initially premiered in 2011. The two-part 2016 season premiere of the series featuring Jordan Spieth became the second and third most-watched Feherty premiere episodes on record (2011-2016) behind only the original series premiere the Monday following the U.S. Open in June 2011.
Part II of Spieth’s interview also became the most-watched premiere of any Golf Channel original production since Arnie on Masters Sunday in April 2014.

Feherty is coming off a banner year in 2016, highlighted by sitting down with now four U.S. Presidents: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump; serving as an NBC Olympic correspondent in Rio; appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon; being profiled on the Emmy award-winning HBO original series, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel; and playing a key role in NBC Sports’ unprecedented 12-week stretch of premier golf events beginning with The Open and concluding with the Ryder Cup.

Described as “Golf iconoclast” by Rolling Stone, and “a cross between
Oprah Winfrey and Johnny Carson” by The New York Times, Feherty has made a name for himself not only through his self-titled Golf Channel talk show, but as one of the most irrepressible personalities calling golf over the past two decades. Beyond golf, Feherty continues to capture new and broader audiences with his wit and self-deprecating nature. A native of Northern Ireland and a former professional golfer who claimed 10 worldwide victories and a spot on the 1991 European Ryder Cup team, Feherty is now a proud American citizen who has risen above a history of alcoholism and addiction to become an Emmy-nominated television host, New York Times best-selling author and comedic relief for thousands of men and women in uniform.

David Feherty’s Charmed Life: Golf’s Iconoclast Comes Clean.
How a hard-partying former pro cheated death, got sober and changed the game – all while remaining unquestionably cool.

By Stayton Bonner
Me and My Poodle created by Stayton Bonner | Popular songs on TikTok
David William Feherty, (born 13 August 1958) is a former professional golfer and current golf broadcaster. As a touring professional he won 5 – European Tour events, seriously competed at the Open Championship twice (1989 and 1994), and played on Europe’s 1991 Ryder Cup team.
Late in his career he joined the PGA Tour. Since retiring, he has worked as a television personality; from 1997 through 2015 Feherty served as an on-course reporter for the PGA Tour on CBS. In 2011, he introduced a self-titled interview series on Golf Channel and subsequently joined NBC Sports full-time in 2016.

A Vandyke-bearded bipolar alcoholic who sometimes covers PGA tournaments while dressed like a pirate will be doing the play-by-play. “I’ve never been sure about the whole drug-testing aspect of the Olympics,” says David Feherty, a former European Tour player from Northern Ireland whose training regimen once included weed, cocaine and a daily dose of 40 Vicodin and two and a half bottles of whiskey. “If they come up with a drug that helps you play golf better, I am going to be so pissed – I looked for that for years.”

In the staid world of pro golf, Feherty is a smart, funny wild card whose cult celebrity is transcending the sport. He covers PGA tournaments while describing a player as having “a face like a warthog stung by a wasp” on live TV, does standup, writes bestselling novels and hosts a Golf Channel show where he gets guests like Bill Clinton and Larry David to open up about their games and lives. Feherty’s secret? Sober since 2005, he’s now got nothing to hide. “One of the advantages of having a fucked-up life is that other people are more comfortable telling you about theirs,” he says. “I see from a different side of the street than most people.”

Born on the outskirts of Belfast, Ireland
Feherty turned pro at 18 and quickly embraced the European Tour’s hard-living lifestyle. In 1986, after winning the Scottish Open in Glasgow, he went
on a bender — and awoke two days later on a putting green 150 miles away – alongside Led Zeppelin’s road manager, with no recollection of getting there or what happened to his silver trophy. Once while playing in the Swedish Open, he went out for a drink and woke up the next day in Denmark. — “After that, I always kept $600 in my wallet,” he says, “because that’s exactly what it cost me to get back to the golf club just in time to miss my starting time.”

After a middling pro career, he became a PGA Tour commentator in 1997, eventually moving to Dallas, raising a family, getting diagnosed with bipolar disorder and sobering up. An insomniac who still struggles with depression – “I get overwhelmed by sadness several times a day and spend a lot of time in tears” – Feherty has managed to achieve success by channeling his restlessness into his work. “I now take 14 pills a day – antidepressants, mood stabilizers and amphetamines,” he says. “The Adderall is enough to tear most people off the ceiling, but I can take a nap.”

For Feherty, 2016 will be a turning point. After 19 years working as a commentator for CBS, he’ll move to NBC – a transition that allows him to take his talent beyond the fairways. In addition to the Olympics, he’ll cover the international Ryder Cup and other tournaments while continuing to host his talk show – and is even looking to conquer new sports.

“Remember Fred Willard in Best in Show?” he asks. “If there’s a place somewhere for a golf analyst where no technical knowledge is required,
I would love to jump in – I just want to be challenged again.”

As he prepares for the next chapter in his improbable career, Feherty spoke to Rolling Stone about partying like a rock star, cultivating his rumpled mystique and changing the face of golf.

A lot of musicians are also avid golfers – why do you think that is?

So many musicians play golf, especially people in rock & roll, but most of them use golf as an alternative to drugs and alcohol. I think for addicts, spare time is their worst enemy. And you know, golf takes up time – actually it’s one of the problems with the game, but it works in our favor.

Speaking of, there’s a lot of talk these days about trying to make golf faster, to attract younger viewers and get more people playing. Does the sport need to change to survive?

Golf has always gone against the image that it’s for rich white men, and to a certain extent, it is, but before Sam Snead it was a bunch of twitty old duffers smoking pipes and wearing jackets. Sam Snead really made it look like an athletic pastime. Arnold Palmer kind of started the modern era – he made it sexy back in the ’50s and ’60s. And Tiger Woods reinvented the game.
We’re seeing the effect of that now, with these youngsters that have come up – Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth and Jason Day and Rickie Fowler, and dozens more of these colorful characters – they were 9, 10, 11 years old when Tiger Woods was on his feet, and they’re making the game cool again. Golf reinvents itself every 20 or 30 years or so.

Thirty years ago, you won the Scottish Open – then woke up two days later
on a green alongside Led Zeppelin’s former road manager.

Can you tell the story there?

Well, I won the 1986 Scottish Open and it seemed like a good idea. That was back when I was really just getting into not just golf and being successful, but the rush of performing in front of a bunch of people and applause and adulation. I didn’t know it at the time, but I’m bipolar and it was something to deal with the strangeness in my life. I got addicted to painkillers fairly early. You know, “comfortably numb,” as Pink Floyd put it. And that’s where I needed to be at the time. And I’m Northern Irish, so I remember the last physical I had with my doctor where alcohol became a problem. He looked at the numbers and said, “Hey, have you ever thought about getting help?” And I said, “No, I can drink it all by myself.”

That particular instance was kind of during the ascent of those problems.
I headed into Glasgow that night to a concert and woke up two days later at Gleneagles, which was 150 miles away, and Peter was poking me with a stick like a dead stag. I had half of a train ticket to London that I hadn’t used.
So I came to London and got back to Scotland – but I had no idea how. It’s still confusing to this day. Oh, and the Scottish Open trophy is still lost. God only knows where the hell it is.

What was a typical day like for back then, in terms of drugs and alcohol?
A typical day was 30-40 Vicodin and two and a half bottles of whiskey…real whiskey. Whiskey with an ‘e.’ There was cocaine, there was dope.
When I think about it now I’m like, “Why am I alive?”

You mentioned bipolar disorder and kind of self-medicating.
When did you actually get diagnosed?

Really only about ten years ago. That was right at the time when I was sober. That was the first time I had seen a psychiatrist. And I went for about six of those [sessions] before I got properly diagnosed. I was like, “Oh shit, really? There’s a word for how I feel?” It was quite a revelation to me. I was with CBS at that point, and let me see…I’ve been in the broadcasting industry for almost 20 years now.

What finally helped you get sober?

It was two things: My wife and Tom Watson. I was doing a TV thing in Canada with Jack Nicklaus and Tom, and at one point, Tom just put his hand over the camera and said, “You’re not well, are you?” and I said, “No, I’m not.” I asked him how he knew, and he said, “I can see it in your eyes.” And I said, “What do you see?’” and he said, “My reflection.’”

And I didn’t know that Tom had a problem at that point. Very few people did. He said, “You need to come with me when we’re done here.” And I’m trying to back out; we’re on Prince Edward Island, and Tom’s [lives in] Kansas City, so
I said, “How am I going to get to Kansas City?” And I hear this voice behind me say, “I have a G5!” So I’m getting heckled by Jack Nicklaus, who sent me there with his G5, and I went with Tom and he looked after me for 2 or 3 days and I’ve been sober ever since.

But I would emphasize it has a great deal to do with my wife, as well.
When I met her I was penniless, I had lost my damn [playing] privileges in the United States, I was homeless, I had a vehicle that was all I had, because I had been through this horrifying divorce. I was just a penniless, homeless, alcoholic drug addict and she looked at me and said, “Well I can fix that.”

I read you have short-term memory loss because of all that.
Have you forgotten things on air?

Oh yeah! But to be honest with you, adrenaline kind of kicks in – and
I’m not quite sure how much of it is due to the blows to the head. I’ve had a tremendously accident-prone career with injuries, you know. I’ve been run over three times by motor vehicles. When I got sober I took to riding a bike, to fill in some of that free time that was so dangerous, and I’d been sober about nine months when I got run over by a trailer on my way home. Well, I got hit by the pickup truck that was towing the trailer first. I remember flying through the air and thinking to myself, “If this is a fucking beer truck, I will actually die from irony.”

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. It struck down many U.S. federal and state abortion laws, and prompted an ongoing national debate in the United States about whether and to what extent abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role of religious and moral views in the political sphere should be. 

Roe v. Wade reshaped American politics, dividing much of the United States into abortion rights and anti-abortion movements, while activating grassroots movements on both sides. The decision involved the case of Norma McCorvey—known in her lawsuit under the pseudonym “Jane Roe”—who in 1969 became pregnant with her third child. McCorvey wanted an abortion, but she lived in Texas, where abortion was illegal except when necessary to save the mother’s life. She was referred to lawyers Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee, who filed a lawsuit on her behalf in U.S. federal court against her local district attorney, Henry Wade, alleging that Texas’s abortion laws were unconstitutional. 

A three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas heard the case and ruled in her favor. Texas then appealed this ruling directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case. In January 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision ruling that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides a “right to privacy” that protects a pregnant woman’s right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. But it also ruled that this right is not absolute, and must be balanced against the government’s interests in protecting women’s health and protecting prenatal life.

THEREBY, IS Anyone else sick of everyone being offended by everything? Especially when they are offended on behalf of someone else when that someone else is not offended…or in some cases more offended…
like they were lamely waiting to righteously tell someone, anyone off,
but they have to wait for any contrived situation to do it. Rolling on the floor laughing 

Do we all have to walk around on eggshells nowadays? How is this helping?

Thinking face I AM currently listening to a documentary about the history of
the past decade and it is just depressing how much Britain and Canada have destroyed/removed from their histories… We’re all different, nuanced and have weird outlooks, can’t we just agree to disagree? Ask yourself whether you really want to be the person who is offended by the offended. 1000% sick of it!



How dare you???!!! <sniff> 
Reported and blocked!!!! * walks off in a huff
People need to learn to laugh more.

Everyone seems sooo sensitive and touchy, and I become afraid to say anything for fear of being jumped on. It’s crazy. I’m SO offended by other people being offended! People who get offended by everything offends the fuck out of me… WHEN YOU CAN’T SPEAK THE TRUTH ANY LONGER. Face with tears of joy

It’s all the GMO’s they consume. How do GMOs affect your body – Totally had a gut full of it. Sick of worrying about what you write/say in case it offends some bloody snowflake.

Why can’t people be offended and who are we to judge what offends someone else? Here’s an idea…why not put it on the offenders? Don’t be such a dick and be conscious of others and their feelings. Man shrugging

That doesn’t seem so awful. Being offended is the start of a conversation, not the end. If someone is bothered, it’s worthwhile to ask who, and why. But this idea of “I don’t like that idea, so you have to stop saying it.” can just fuck right off.

No one has any balls any more. Yes, especially THE cancel culture. It’s just childish –
Such people need to grow the fuck up! Life is too damn short to go around and be offended by everything!

That’s not living, it’s existing!

“The small counties are mostly found in landlocked areas in the Great Plains, mountains and deserts. It’s not uncommon for these counties to even be losing population over time.” There is also a difference in racial and ethnic diversity. For example, 79 percent of Asians, 71 percent of Hispanics and 59 percent of blacks live in big counties. Small-county America is nearly three-quarters non-Hispanic white, whereas this group makes up less than half of big-county America.

The differences between the two geographies also extend to age. The median age in small-county America is 39.1 compared to 36.9 for big-county America, and 54 percent of people age 65 or older live in small-county America. There is also a notable difference in the rate of growth. “Big-county America is growing nearly twice as fast as small-county America,” Sink said. “They’re not only getting bigger but increasingly more diverse.” Thus, if current trends continue, it’s likely that the divide between big and small will continue to become more pronounced in the future.

Counties in the US refer to regions within a state with their distinct boundaries and some form of official authority. States such as Alaska and Louisiana have county equivalents that have the same level of power as counties. Counties in the US number 3,007 while county equivalents number 135 all totaling to 3,142. The state of Delaware has the least number of counties at three while Texas has 254. Counties have existed in the US since its earliest days with Virginia being the first state to establish counties. The counties were founded to reduce the administrative workload for the state administration.

Popular County Names In The U.S.

In a rising number of U.S. counties, Hispanic and black Americans are the majority. BY KATHERINE SCHAEFFER

Non-Hispanic white Americans account for 60% of the U.S. population, but in a growing number of counties, a majority of residents are Hispanic or black, reflecting the nation’s changing demographics and shifting migration patterns.

In 2018, there were 151 U.S. counties where Hispanics, blacks or two much smaller racial and ethnic groups – American Indians and Alaska Natives – made up a majority of the population, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. That was an increase from 110 such counties in 2000. The 41 counties that joined the list between 2000 and 2018 are all majority Hispanic or majority black. (For a full list of these counties,
 see the sortable table  at the end of the post.)

image.png

Overall, 69 counties were majority Hispanic in 2018, 72 were majority
black and 10 were majority American Indian or Alaska Native.
The majority American Indian or Alaska Native counties are unique in that most have experienced overall population declines since 2000, even as the share of American Indian or Alaska Native residents in these counties remained fairly flat. Counties in OHIO – Bing

There were no U.S. counties where Asians accounted for more than half of the population, but in Honolulu County, Hawaii, the population was 42% Asian and 9% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.

The South and Southwest of the United States hold most of the counties where Hispanic, black or indigenous people make up a majority of residents. These counties represent just 5% of the 3,142 counties in the U.S. and about half of the country’s 293 majority nonwhite counties (a figure that includes counties where multiple racial and ethnic groups combine to account for a majority).

About this analysis!!!

Rapid growth in majority Hispanic counties…

The number of majority Hispanic counties doubled between 2000 and 2018, from 34 to 69 – mostly in the South and West. In all but four of these 69 counties, the Hispanic share of the population grew during that period.
The few counties that experienced declines saw only slight decreases, and no county that was majority Hispanic in 2000 fell below 50% Hispanic by 2018.
Since 2000, the number of majority Hispanic counties in the U.S. has doubled.
These trends are in line with the growth of the U.S. Hispanic population as a whole, which reached a new high in 2018 even as its rate of growth slowed.
The Latino population grew at a faster rate than most other racial or ethnic groups during the 2000s, due to relatively high birth rates among Hispanic women and  immigration from Latin America.

Related: See Pew Research Center’s U.S. population projections  through 2065, which provides a look at immigration’s impact on population growth and on racial and ethnic change.
In 2018, Texas was home to the 10 counties in the U.S. with the largest shares of Hispanic residents. Starr County, home to about 65,000 people overall, had the largest concentration of Hispanic residents, at 96% of the population. Other counties where Hispanics accounted for an especially large share of residents included Webb (95%), Hidalgo (92%) and Cameron counties (90%) – all in Texas.

Since 2000, number of majority Hispanic counties in the U.S. has doubled.
The Hispanic populations of some larger U.S. counties also grew between 2000 and 2018. San Bernardino County, California (population 2.2 million) was the most populous county to become majority Hispanic during this span. Osceola County, Florida (home to about 370,000) saw the largest percentage point increase in Hispanic residents during this time (26 points, rising from 29% to 55%).

The migrating U.S. black population..
While the black share of the total U.S. population has not changed substantially over the last two decades, the number of majority black counties in the U.S. grew from 65 to 72 between 2000 and 2018. One contributing factor may be migration of black Americans from the North to the South and from cities into suburbs.

Majority black U.S. counties are primarily in the South.
There are now 15 majority black counties that were not majority black in 2000. Among them, Rockdale County, Georgia, located about half an hour outside Atlanta, had the largest percentage point increase in the share of black residents (from 18% in 2000 to 55% in 2018). With about 930,000 residents, Shelby County, Tennessee, which contains Memphis, was the county with the largest population to become majority black.

The 10 counties with the highest shares of black residents in 2018 were in Mississippi (seven counties) Alabama (two) and Virginia (one). In these 10 counties, about 70% or more residents were black.

Meanwhile, eight counties that were majority black in 2000 are no longer. Three of these are large U.S. cities that the Census Bureau includes in its county estimates: Washington, D.C.; Richmond, Virginia; and St. Louis, Missouri.
Washington (home to roughly 702,000 residents in 2018) saw a 19% increase in total population during that period, while its black population decreased by 9%. The city’s share of black residents declined by 15 percentage points, from 60% to 45%.

Majority American Indian or Alaska Native counties.
In 2018, there were eight U.S. counties where more than half of the population was American Indian; two other counties were majority Alaska Native.

In 10 U.S. counties, indigenous people make up more than half of residents.
While majority Hispanic and black counties are growing in number, these predominantly American Indian or Alaska Native counties have experienced net population loss from 2000 to 2018. And one county that was majority American Indian or Alaska Native in 2000 is no longer: San Juan County, Utah, where the share of American Indian residents fell 8% points,
from 55% to 47%.

All 10 majority American Indian counties are located on or near reservation land in the Midwest and the West, and most have populations of fewer than 20,000 people.
The exceptions are McKinley County, New Mexico, and Apache County, Arizona, both of which are home to about 72,000 people.

The two counties where the majority of residents were Alaska Native are both in rural Alaska: Bethel Census Area (population of roughly 18,000) and Nome Census Area (population of about 10,000). Source: Rising number of U.S. counties are majority Hispanic or black | Pew Research Center

In 151 U.S. counties, Hispanic, black or indigenous people are the majority race or ethnicity.

How to Remove a Tick: 26 Questions Answered (Head Removal, Dogs, Embedded).

QUICK TIPS FOR LYME DISEASE!!!!

How to extract a tick head – Shedding Light on the Science of Lyme disease: The doctors who have ruined progress and caused extreme harm to sufferers by denying Public access to Lyme research, millions suffering, yearly documentaries about the disease, and new non-corrupt medical leadership guarantee the acceptance of chronic Lyme and the vilification of leadership is just around the corner. Yet another study demonstrating ‘Post Treatment Lyme’ patients are still infected by borrelia – 100% of them culture confirmed from multiple labs.

How much evidence needs to accumulate before the plain truth is accepted?
Using multiple corroborative detection methods, we showed that patients with persistent Lyme disease symptoms may have ongoing spirochetal infection despite antibiotic treatment, similar to findings…

A study by an international team of researchers has found persistent infection despite antibiotic therapy in patients with ongoing symptoms of Lyme disease. 
The study was published in the open access journal Healthcare (Basel).
Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a type of corkscrew-shaped bacteria known as a spirochete. In 2013 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that Lyme disease is much more common than previously thought, with over 300,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the United States.
That makes Lyme disease six times more common than HIV/AIDS, 20 times more common than hepatitis C virus infection and 30 times more common than tuberculosis in the United States.
“Our findings address a major controversy over persistent symptoms in Lyme disease,” said Marianne Middelveen, lead author of the published study. “The results suggest that infection with the Lyme spirochete may persist in some patients despite supposedly adequate antibiotic therapy.”

The current study was a collaborative effort by an international team of scientists. In addition to Middelveen, a veterinary microbiologist from Canada, researchers included molecular biologists Jennie Burke and Agustin Franco from Australia working with molecular biologists Eva Sapi and Katherine Filush, nurse practitioner Melissa Fesler and internist Raphael Stricker from the United States.
A previous study from Tulane University showed that the Lyme spirochete could survive antibiotic therapy in monkeys. In the present study, researchers used sophisticated techniques to examine culture samples from twelve human patients who had positive antibody tests for Lyme disease and persistent symptoms despite prior or current antibiotic treatment.

All twelve patients had positive cultures for Borrelia burgdorferi, even if they were currently taking antibiotics. In contrast, asymptomatic control subjects with negative Lyme antibody tests had no evidence of the Lyme spirochete in their culture samples.
“The presence of live spirochetes in symptomatic patients supports the role of ongoing infection in these patients,” said Dr. Peter Mayne, who previously published the first comprehensive study of Lyme disease in Australia. “We need to do more research to determine how this elusive organism survives antibiotic therapy in patients who do not get better.”
Dr. Stricker pointed to the implications for Lyme disease treatment raised by the study. “This study is bad news for Lyme disease patients and their doctors,” he said. “We need to develop better antimicrobial treatments for these suffering patients, and we need to do it now.”

INTRODUCTION:
Lyme disease is a tick borne illness that generates controversy among medical providers and researchers. One of the key topics of debate is the existence of persistent infection with the Lyme spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, in patients who have been treated with recommended doses of antibiotics yet remain symptomatic. Persistent spirochetal infection despite antibiotic therapy has recently been demonstrated in non-human primates. We present evidence of persistent Borrelia infection despite antibiotic therapy in patients with ongoing Lyme disease symptoms.

METHODS:
In this pilot study, culture of body fluids and tissues was performed in a randomly selected group of 12 patients with persistent Lyme disease symptoms who had been treated or who were being treated with antibiotics. Cultures were also performed on a group of ten control subjects without Lyme disease. The cultures were subjected to corroborative microscopic, histopathological and molecular testing for Borrelia organisms in four independent laboratories in a blinded manner.

RESULTS:
Motile spirochetes identified histopathologically as Borrelia were detected in culture specimens, and these spirochetes were genetically identified as Borrelia burgdorferi by three distinct polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approach. Spirochetes identified as Borrelia burgdorferi were cultured from the blood of seven subjects, from the genital secretions of ten subjects, and from a skin lesion of one subject. Cultures from control subjects without Lyme disease were negative for Borrelia using these methods.

CONCLUSIONS:
Using multiple corroborative detection methods, we showed that patients with persistent Lyme disease symptoms may have ongoing spirochetal infection despite antibiotic treatment, similar to findings in non-human primates. The optimal treatment for persistent Borrelia infection remains to be determined.

The Zapruder film

Posted on May 26, 2021 by Ken
One frame of the Zapruder film has long been considered too graphic for public view.   
By Ron Rosenbaum

SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE 

John F. Kennedy
35th President of the United States
Wikipedia

Lived: May 29, 1917 – Nov 22, 1963 (age 46)
It’s been called the most important 29 seconds of film in history: The 486 frames of 8-millimeter Bell + Howell home movie footage shot in the midday sun of Dallas on November 22, 1963, by a dressmaker named Abraham Zapruder. Twenty-six seconds that included a historic, horrific, all-too-clear vision of a presidential assassination.

Most people vaguely know about the Zapruder film,  but it will soon become omnipresent as the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy approaches. What is not well known, however, is that a single frame of it was kept largely secret from public view for 12 years after the assassination.
 Frame 313 of Zapruder Film (Famous Photograph) (lalitkumar.in) The frame that gave Abraham Zapruder nightmares, the frame he insisted be withheld from the public—a single frame of film that can be said to have changed American history and culture. 
“We like to feel that the world is safe,” Errol Morris tells me. “Safe at least in the sense that we can know about it. The Kennedy assassination is very much an essay on the unsafety of the world. If a man that powerful, that young, that rich, that successful, can just be wiped off the face of the earth in an instant, what does it say about the rest of us?”

That instant is one we can all now watch on YouTube. In fact, there is a compilation that includes 5 versions of the Zapruder film—slow-motion, zoomed-in, close-ups. Once you’ve seen the unspeakable act it captures, Morris says, your sense of stability and safety, your sense of the rationality of the world, has been forever lost. It’s “endlessly haunting and disturbing,” he says.    
I wanted to talk to Morris about the Zapruder film because as a documentary filmmaker he’s focused on mysteries (he freed an innocent man from death row with The Thin Blue Line); he’s re-examined secret history (he won an Oscar for cross-examining the enigmatic Robert McNamara in The Fog of War). As a writer, he’s questioned the way that photographic images can document the nature of truth (in his recent book Believing Is Seeing).

In addition to all this, two years ago Morris made a six-minute documentary about the Zapruder film for the New York Times, focusing on one shadowy figure in it: the so-called “Umbrella Man.” And then, in the recurrent irony of conspiracy theory pathology, Morris himself became the subject of JFK conspiracy coverup fantasy.
So one recent morning over breakfast in the dining room of the hotel in New York’s SoHo where Morris was staying, I sat down in front of his computer to watch the Zapruder film with him.
***
The Zapruder film, silent but in color, shows a motorcade led by two open-top limousines proceeding at a stately pace through a street lined with people. We see the black Lincoln Continental with JFK and his wife, Jackie, in a pink skirt-and-jacket suit. We see them all waving to onlookers as the motorcade heads for what was known locally as “the triple underpass,” an aptly metaphoric name for the tangle we will soon enter.
As the motorcade approaches, we see JFK’s car emerge from behind a sign that had been temporarily blocking the view. Suddenly, we see JFK clutch his throat. Jackie leans over to attend to him. An instant later, in Frame 313, it looks like a lightning bolt strikes JFK’s head. We see it blown up and thrown back. Jackie frantically crawls over the rear seat of the open car and climbs onto its rear deck grasping at something that has been described as a piece of her husband’s shattered skull. Frame 313 is the forensic peak of the Zapruder film, – images this sight is the almost-unbearable emotional heart of it.

Rewind to Frame 313: The visceral impression that the blast came from in front of JFK and blew his head backward is powerful. There have been arguments that this is a kind of optical illusion—the most convincing to me being that JFK had been hit from behind after the previous frame, 312, slamming his chin forward to his chest, and his head was rebounding backward in Frame 313.
And it would be so much easier to dismiss the impression of a frontal shot as an illusion, because otherwise you’d have to doubt the conclusion of the Warren Commission that Lee Harvey Oswald, who was positioned behind the president, was the lone gunman.
But it would be a dozen years before most of the world would see Frame 313.
The odyssey of that small rectangle of sprocket-pocked celluloid is fascinating. Knowing that his home movie would have both historic and forensic value, Abraham Zapruder had three copies of his original film made for government investigators. He sold the rights to the original to Life magazine for a reported $150,000. Zapruder made clear Frame 313 gave him nightmares and he didn’t want to be the one to inflict them on the rest of America.

Ultimately Life decided to withhold Frame 313. – Bing images
Nevertheless, bootleg copies circulated, helping to generate the first wave of assassination conspiracy theories and Warren Commission critics. Still, it was not until 1975 that Geraldo—yes, that Geraldo, Geraldo Rivera got hold of a copy of the uncut Zapruder film and played it for a national audience on his show, “Good Night America.” Which resulted in a kind of collective national gasp as millions of Americans simultaneously saw something that they had previously only read about.
The Zapruder shock and other doubts raised about the underside of recent American history such as Watergate helped impel the creation in 1976 of the Senate’s Church Committee (named after Sen. Frank Church of Idaho). It turned over the rock that was the CIA at the time, and discovered, among other scandals wriggling underneath, the CIA/Mafia assassination plots against Cuban President Fidel Castro, some of them fostered during the Kennedy administration—plots that would provide possible assassination motives for Castro, for anti-Castro forces, for the CIA, for the Mafia, or some unholy alliance of more than one of these.

Indeed the committee ultimately determined that both the CIA and the FBI had withheld material information about these matters from the Warren Commission.
The Church Committee then begat the only full-scale official government reinvestigation of the Kennedy assassination, the three-year effort (1976-79) by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (which also considered the Martin Luther King Jr. case). What’s forgotten by many is the HSCA’s conclusion: that JFK was killed by a conspiracy. However, this finding was reached based on the last-minute introduction of “acoustic evidence,” a Dictabelt recording made by a motorcycle cop walkie-talkie purportedly positioned so that it seemed to have picked up a fourth shot (and thus a second assassin) fired from the direction of “the grassy knoll” in front of the president. A shot that might be the one we see hit the president in Frame 313.

The Justice Department subsequently asked the National Academy of Sciences to re-examine the Dictabelt evidence and it concluded it was not dispositive, which naturally led to years of debate among forensic acoustic experts. Later tests also put the motorcycle’s positioning in doubt, further undermining the linchpin of the HSCA’s conspiracy conclusion. Back to square one.
The next seismic event in the Zapruder film’s odyssey came in the slam-bang conclusion of Oliver Stone’s conspiracy-theory film JFK,, JFK.1991 (ok.ru) full movie; a reverential account of New Orleans DA Jim Garrison’s real-world fiasco of an investigation, which climaxed with Garrison, played by Kevin Costner, dramatically showing the jury the Zapruder film, complete with Frame 313. 

Again the renewed shock of watching it (rather than Stone’s far-fetched military-industrial-complex conspiracy theory) had its effect: Public reaction pushed Congress to pass the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which ordered that the declassification of literally millions of assassination documents be expedited. It’s a process that is still going on, monitored by former Washington Post reporter Jefferson Morley on his website JFKfacts.org.
Which brings us up to today. After half a century, the latest Gallup poll shows that 59 percent of the American public believes there was a conspiracy in the assassination, despite the best efforts of reporters such as Gerald Posner (Case Closed) and former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi (Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy), who have written long, painstaking books meant to be definitive defenses of the “lone assassin” case.
Tom Hanks also produced another cinematic version of the assassination, a movie called Parkland (after the Dallas hospital), with Paul Giamatti playing our man Abraham Zapruder.  Parkland 2013 ♥ Movies 2016 Full Movie English-Scary Thriller Movies 2016 Hollywood – Free Movies HD  

Meanwhile conspiracy theory books continue to pour out, some even claiming the Zapruder film itself was falsified somehow. As Errol Morris puts it, quoting someone he identifies with typical obscure erudition as “the last living inhabitant of the utopian community of Zoar in Ohio” who said on her deathbed, “Think about it, All those religions. They can’t all be right. But they can all be wrong.”

Which brings us back to the dining room of Errol Morris’ hotel and the six-minute film he made about the “Umbrella Man” in the Zapruder film. He was not, he emphasizes, trying to solve the JFK assassination or take on any of its larger questions—he just wanted to nail down one little “factoid,” which had metastasized into a full-blown conspiracy theory of its own, complete with secret KGB-type weaponized rain gear.
Umbrella Man consists of Morris talking with – Josiah “Tink” Thompson –  one of the first and most respected of Warren Commission critics. Thompson has had an extraordinary, colorful career. I met him when he was my freshman philosophy professor at Yale and he was working on The Lonely Labyrinth, his landmark analysis of the gloomy Danish anti-rationalist philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. But after the release of the Warren Commission report, Thompson turned his incisive intellect to the question of ballistics and its relation to the Zapruder film.

“The Zapruder film serves as a clock,” Morris points out. One can measure the time it took for the three assassination shots (one missed) to be fired—which the Warren Commission concluded was slightly under six seconds—and then calculate how long a single shooter would take to shoot, reload, re-sight, shoot again, reload, re-sight and shoot again. Thompson concluded that Oswald wouldn’t have had the time to get off all three shots himself and—after working with Life’s copy of the Zapruder film—he published his findings in (1) Six Seconds in Dallas one of the first strictly forensic books critical of the Warren Commission, a book even Bugliosi speaks respectfully of, though he disagrees with it.
Morris recalled for me the dramatic moment in the course of the nearly seven hours he spent interviewing Thompson on camera when the former professor handed him a Mannlicher Carcano rifle – JFK  identical to the one Oswald was alleged to have used, and demonstrated the slow and complicated process of reloading and re-sighting that Oswald would have had to have undertaken to get off three shots in six seconds.
Thompson eventually became so intrigued by unsolved mysteries that he left a comfy job in academia behind to become a private eye (his memoir is called   Gumshoe: Reflections in a Private Eye)   He has spent the last 37 years working, often successfully, for defense lawyers in tough cases. Gumshoe!

“So here is Tink,” Morris says, taking us back to Thompson’s Life magazine days, “hunkered down over the Zapruder film looking at it frame by frame by frame. And he notices there is a man, a bystander among the crowds waiting for the Kennedy motorcade—and he’s holding an umbrella. And indeed he looks really out of place.”
“Because the sun is shining.”
“The sun is shining. As I say to Tink, in my film, ‘it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood,’” Morris says in a wry Mister Rogers imitation.
“And the Umbrella Man became an icon of conspiracy theorists?” I ask. “They believe that when he raised the umbrella it was a signal for the assassins?”
“As in all of these theories, there are multiple versions, there are variants. There’s the version where the umbrella was a signal to the co-conspirators. There’s another version where the Umbrella Man himself is one of the assassins…with the umbrella.”

“A weaponized umbrella?”
“A covert weapon capable of firing—I’m not sure where this word came from but Tink uses it—a fléchette. I don’t even know what a fléchette is.”
“Well, you know, there was a famous assassination in London where a Bulgarian dissident, Georgi Markov, was supposedly assassinated by the KGB with a poison fléchette triggered by…” I was going to say “by an umbrella” when Morris interrupted impatiently.
“What is a fléchette?”
“It’s like a little metal stabbing thing that can be fired, without a gunshot sound, can lodge itself in the flesh and be fatal.”
In Morris’ film, Thompson discloses something I hadn’t known: that the Umbrella Man had eventually come forward and explained himself. “The Umbrella Man himself showed up to give testimony to the House assassinations committee,” Morris says.
And he reproduced a clip of his appearance before the committee in his Umbrella Man film. His name was Louie Steven Witt and he testified that he brought the umbrella on that sunny day because—wait for it—he wanted to express his displeasure with JFK’s father, Joseph Kennedy.

“Who,” Morris says, “had been ambassador to England in the 1930s and [was] known for his policies of appeasement to the Third Reich.” “Symbolized,” I say, “by the umbrella that Neville Chamberlain carried back from Munich, after Chamberlain claimed to have brought ‘peace for our time’ by letting Hitler swallow up half of Czechoslovakia, giving Hitler the impetus to launch World War II.
The umbrella became the symbol of appeasement in 1938 and here in 1963, this guy carries an umbrella and thinks, ‘Whoa, people are really going to be blown away, this is really going to make a statement!’ And it turns out he becomes a symbol himself. It’s almost like history is a kind of snake swallowing its tail.”
“Part of the problem of rationality and irrationality—and it really is a problem—is how do you separate the two? Where is that line of demarcation between nutso thinking and good thinking?”

Which brings us to the double irony: Morris and Thompson’s attempt to nail down this one tiny factoid ended up getting them linked to the coverup by a conspiracy theorist.
“A filmmaker, Alex Cox, the director of Sid & Nancy, among other movies, just put a reply to my Umbrella Man film on the web,”  The Umbrella Man – Bing video
Morris says. “Criticizing me for dismissing the Umbrella Man as a crackpot [theory].”
“So Cox believes the Umbrella Man had a role in the assassination?”
“He seemingly believes that,” Morris says.

I watched the seven-minute Alex Cox video on YouTube. Looking a bit disheveled, like an aging pedant, shuffling around a cluttered office, Cox shows that an umbrella could have been used as a weapon by using an elaborate schematic diagram of a weaponized umbrella, complete with fléchettes. And then Cox goes further: He suggests that the man who testified to the House Select Committee on Assassinations was “up to something,” perhaps sent to deceive the committee. He offers no other proof, but just by stating his deception theory Cox seems confident he’s scored an impressive point. He offers no evidence that a weaponized umbrella was fired that day or that a poison fléchette was found in JFK’s flesh.
But somehow he makes Morris and Thompson accomplices, witting or not, in the coverup of the Umbrella Man’s murderous duplicity in Dallas that day. In trying to understand conspiracy theorists, I used to think that what conspiracy theorists were really doing on some level was grieving, their fantasies a form of displaced love for JFK, but I’ve come to think the love involved is mostly self-love, their self-congratulatory assertion of superiority over mere facts. By the way, yes, I do believe there were some real conspiracies in history—Julius Caesar’s assassination for instance—I just think they need to be proven, fact by fact, not by fantasy and supposition.
I ask Morris about my theory of grief underlying the obsession with the assassination—that we underestimate the shock of it. “I would agree with that,” replies Morris. “I mean why am I so obsessed with…” He pauses. “You know, I’ll never really know what killed my brother and my father, who both died at a very, very early age. But there’s a mystery about death….”
I was stunned.

“What did they die from?”
“I believe in massive heart attacks. One at the age of 40, the other at the age of 43.” (Morris is now 65.) “And coming up with a conspiracy theory to explain the assassination is at least a way of regaining some control over the world?”
“Conspiracy theories often provide solace,” he says. “They provide a level of comfort that makes sense of a world that seems otherwise beyond our ken, our control.”
“In my book about Hitler,” I recall, “I wrote that the inexplicability of horror is equaled by the horror of inexplicability.”
“Conspiracies tell you that there’s a kind of easy way to grasp the idea of evil. It’s those bad guys rubbing their hands together…”

“Twirling their mustaches.”
“Twirling their mustaches, calculating panic, conniving. It gives us a picture of evil that is manageable. Even if we don’t know whether it’s Castro, the KGB, the CIA or a host of other possibilities, we know there’s some kind of deep malefaction at work.”
“While the lone assassin suggests that almost anyone you pass by on the sidewalk could be a ticking time bomb.”
***
Finally, we watched it. Or, I should say, them. First the original version of the Zapruder film and then, in the words of the YouTube voice-over, “a replay of the standard format version in slow-motion.” Next, a version in which “the images between the sprocket holes can only be seen on the original film.” And then another version, “a replay with the images between the sprocket holes, this time in slow-motion.”
“It’s a much, so much more innocent time than ours,” Morris says. “The president in an open motorcade….”
Each time we get to Frame 313, I groan. The shock never wears off. “I don’t know,” I say, “It sure looks like a shot from the front.”
The voice-over continues relentlessly: “This version tracks the limousine and maintains President Kennedy at center frame. This version is only in slow-motion.”
“So we know he’s been hit,” Morris says. “And we know that he was hit in such a way that matter was ejected from the back of his head.”
“So it seems,” I start to say when the voice-over cuts in with the final version:
“This version zooms in on the image as much as possible without causing deterioration. President Kennedy is kept in center frame. This is only in slow-motion.”
It is the ultimate version of the Zapruder film, or at least of Frame 313, and it is agonizing.
“These images are the legacy of one man,” the voice-over concludes as a full-screen photo appears of a dignified balding figure in a dark suit: Abraham Zapruder. “A man who never met John Kennedy but whose name, Zapruder, is inextricably linked to Kennedy’s and to Kennedy’s death. Abraham Zapruder, an unassuming man with an ordinary camera.”
Thinking about the silly Umbrella Man theory, I exclaim, “He did it!” A weaponized camera.

Of course. The perfect crime.
“What photography does,” Morris says, as the screen fades to black, “is call our attention to the problem of knowledge, to the problem of epistemology, about how we know about the world. It would be nice if we could just look at the Zapruder film and say, ‘Aha!’
“Frame 313,” he says now, “will always be at the center of the Zapruder film. So significant, so powerful, so disturbing that for years Zapruder himself did not want it to be shown. Zapruder by all accounts was haunted by Frame 313. There’s an interview with him where he talks about his love of amateur photography, how he took pictures of everything. But after that day in Dallas, he could no longer pick up that camera. By denying that image, Frame 313, I think he was trying to protect himself, protect America.”
“Protect a certain stable view of the world? It’s almost as if the brain exploding is like what it does metaphorically to our mind-set, our worldview.”
“It goes to a kind of simpler version of America,” Morris says. “It truly was the end of the ’50s. The end of a certain kind of innocence that we bought into. World War II seemed to provide a notion of good and evil that we could all embrace. We could build a postwar future on that edifice. And this threw everything up for grabs. It’s incredibly sad, still, looking at it today. And it has produced this epi-stemic war of people battling for reality through these images—trying to wrest control back from chaos.”
Morris prefers to think of it in terms of the philosophical issues about the possibility, or impossibility, of knowledge, the issues raised by Tink Thompson in his book about Kierkegaard, The Lonely Labyrinth.

“My favorite quote in my favorite movie review,” he says, “appeared in a 1941 review of Citizen Kane by [the great Argentine fabulist Jorge Luis] Borges and it contained Borges quoting, as he often did, [British writer G.K.] Chesterton, who said there is nothing more frightening than a labyrinth with no center. The loneliest of all labyrinths. The labyrinth to nowhere. Where there is no Minotaur at the center, there’s just winding corridors, more twists and more turns.”
The implication is that all is uncertainty, that we’ll never know who killed Kennedy or why to any degree of certainty. Is it something specific to the JFK case or is it true more generally about knowability? Morris’ new film, after all, about Donald Rumsfeld—famous for his line about “unknown unknowns”—is called The Unknown Known.

“Can we even have the certainty that all is uncertainty?” I ask.
“Here’s my problem,” Morris replies. “My article of faith is that there’s a real world out there in which things happen. The real world is not indeterminate. I don’t want to hear people misinterpreting the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Something happened. The problem is not about the nature of reality. We know somebody killed Kennedy and there’s an answer to the question of who and why.
“Another thing we know is that we may never learn. And we can never know that we can never learn it. We can never know that we can’t know something. 
This is the detective’s nightmare. It’s the ultimate detective’s nightmare.”
