'Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family' (H.P. Lovecraft d20)
Finding something to adapt from "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family," H.P. Lovecraft's 19th published work of fiction, was kind of tough! The first thing that occurred to me was the obvious one, to create a human-ape hybrid or stat one of the apes mentioned in the backstory, but there did not seem to be anything particularly exceptional or interesting about any of them beyond their apparent proclivity for miscegenation. The whole point of the drill, in any event, seemed to be to have the title character become so mortified by his ancestry that he was moved to destroy himself, not to allow him to revel in any superpowers or special abilities. This brought to mind an unpublished Defect I had written up, which appears below. Anyone interested in the concept of Defects, by the way, can find more than 230 of these "anti-Feats" in the Skirmisher Publishing LLC sourcebook The Jester Dragon's Guide to Defects!
Defect: Suicidal Tendencies [General]
Detriment: Anytime this character is faced with a serious setback, there is a chance he will respond by trying to kill himself (possible triggers might include failing an important Skill check, losing a companion, or being faced with an apparently insurmountable obstacle or unwinnable situation). In such a situation, the character must make a DC 10 Will saving throw, failing which he will attempt suicide by some expedient means; this check is made at -2 if the character is exposed to someone with Defect: Aura of Despair and at +2 if someone appropriate is attempting to dissuade him.
If the character succumbs to despair and tries to off himself, he is entitled to a DC 10 Fortitude save. Failing it, he dies. If he passes it, the character survives but is reduced to Con 0 and -9 hit points; he is considered stabilized, however, and is no longer at risk of dying as a direct result of his suicide attempt. Furthermore, he is not again subject to the

The government's move to demonetize higher currency notes towards the end of the last year has shifted the focus greatly on cashless payments.

Surgical Pathology - Inpatient and Outpatient
This two-month rotation repeats during the four years of the residency training, allowing residents to progressively develop their skills. Since LLUMC functions as both a tertiary referral center and a general hospital, our case load includes both common surgical diseases and a variety of more unusual or challenging disorders. In addition to the usual range of surgical procedures expected at a major university hospital, our Cancer Institute, Proton Treatment Center, and Transplantation Institute are particularly active, providing a large volume of interesting biopsy material.
Autopsy Pathology and Outpatient Surgical Pathology
The autopsy pathology service provides an opportunity for residents to study and correlate morphologic abnormalities with clinical manifestations of disease, gain experience with the morbid anatomy of disease (as opposed to the surgical anatomy), and participate in the important educational and quality assurance functions of the hospital autopsy. Residents also gain autopsy experience by sharing weekend autopsy call throughout their training and while on the more integrated rotation at the nearby Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center (VA).
This rotation occurs as a one-month block during the four years and is balanced between academic study at the school of cytology and daily sign-out of cytopathology specimens in both the inpatient and outpatient laboratories. One month is dedicated to studying gynecologic specimens, with the remaining time including non-gynecologic cytopathology and training in the performance and interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsies. Experience in ancillary studies such as immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, and image analysis is also available. A wide range of independent study materials are available, including an extensive collection of cytopathology slide study sets, which correlate cytology and surgical specimens. A comprehensive 35 mm slide collection covering all major aspects of cytopathology is also available.
Hematology/Blood Bank Rotation
This two-month combined rotation repeats during the first four years of residency. The blood bank portion of this rotation focuses on the management of a hospital-based transfusion service, including practical aspects of transfusion medicine, and the management of common transfusion-associated problems. The hematopathology portion of this rotation stresses a multiparametric approach to the diagnosis of hematopoietic and lymphoid disorders. Residents study and diagnose a wide range of leukemias, lymphomas, and nonmalignant disorders involving bone marrow and lymph nodes.
Clinical Pathology Rotation
Residency training in the clinical laboratory is focused on interpretation of laboratory results, developing familiarity with laboratory instrumentation and its limitations, quality control methodology, laboratory management theory and practice, and serving as a liaison between the clinical laboratory and hospital physicians. Emphasis is placed on acquiring a strong knowledge base in preparation for an active consultative role in the many facets of laboratory medicine. Experience includes rotations in microbiology, clinical chemistry, and immunology sections at both the LLUMC and the VA. The rotation also includes exposure to applied molecular biology techniques, as relevant to the clinical laboratory. Residents are supervised by the clinical pathologists or technical specialists in charge of the various laboratory sections. Responsibilities include troubleshooting laboratory section problems and (at the VA Hospital) weekly rounds with the infectious disease consultation service. Research electives are also available.
Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center (VA) rotation
Residents rotate at the VA Medical Center in Loma Linda for an average of four months during each year of their residency, with their time being split approximately evenly between anatomic pathology and clinical pathology. Anatomic pathology responsibilities include handling surgical pathology specimens, and covering autopsies and tumor boards. When a resident demonstrates sufficient diagnostic proficiency and acumen, he/she may be allowed to sign out cases under the supervision of an attending pathologist, i.e., acting as junior chief. Clinical pathology responsibilities include hematopathology, blood banking, microbiology and chemistry. Residents are initially under the direct supervision of an attending pathologist as they perform and interpret bone marrow examinations, review peripheral blood smears and assistant clinicians in interpreting laboratory data or resolving other issues that arise between the clinical services and the laboratory. Weekly rounds with the infectious disease consultation service also serve an important educational function.
Learn More
Read More About Surgical Pathology
One of the major goals of the rotation is to foster the ability to make accurate and increasingly independent diagnostic decisions. Under the guidance of staff pathologist, residents learn how to examine surgical specimens, choose appropriate samples for microscopic study, make accurate diagnoses, and communicate these diagnoses clearly and effectively to the patient's attending physician. Residents actively participate in intraoperative consultations, performing both gross examinations and frozen sections. As residents gain more experience, they assume increasing responsibility and independence. Residents will learn the use of immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy in solving diagnostic problems. The rotation also involves regular formal and informal interaction with the clinical medical services, including interdisciplinary tumor board participation, emphasizing the role of the pathologist as a consultant physician.
The outpatient pathology laboratory provides an opportunity to develop facility with types of biopsies that may be relatively infrequent in a tertiary hospital setting, but common in an outpatient or community hospital setting.
In addition to learning by participating in daily departmental responsibilities, opportunities for more structured and comprehensive learning exist. The division office and individual faculty members maintain extensive slide collections, all of which are available to residents wanting to study particular areas in depth. Teaching conferences stress a logical, scientific approach to diagnostic histopathology.
Read More About Hematology
Residents are initially under the direct supervision of a senior hematopathologist as they perform and interpret bone marrow biopsies and review peripheral blood and body fluid preparations. With experience, residents will independently study specimens and prepare reports for final approval by the supervising hematopathologist. This rotation also offers experience in interpreting cytochemical, immunohistochemical, flow cytometric, cytogenetic, and coagulation results. Interactive skills are developed in dealing directly with patients and clinical attending physicians, through hematology consultations, and in weekly educational hematopathology and interdepartmental lymphoma conferences.

Her profile at West Medford Open Studios states "taking pictures has always been a hobby…first as a family photographer and then …"
T-H-A-T-S an understatement.
When Claire Ghiloni was born the doctor yelled "It's a Kodak" ! and the slap heard 'round the ward was her shutter speed warming up. Ah ! it was definitely a Kodak moment that day. Her bottle had a lens at the bottom. Her pacifier was a roll of 35mm and her first word was Nikon.
Indeed Claire – like it or not – became the family photographer. It was more than a hobby, it was how she saw life.
The Dark Enlightenment
Claire was and is a photographer. I was a budding dabbler. I still dabble. And years ago Claire introduced me to black & white photography, developing and the dark room. We shot, developed, dipped and hung dry those photos. It was a dark enlightenment and I was hooked.
The Dawning of Digital
Life and time took us both and photography in different directions. The dawning of digital gave photography a new direction. I did not follow it as eagerly as Claire. I hung onto (and still use) my Cannon SLR (no "d" – just SLR).
Digital has its advantages and there are many. But as a photographer hobbyist, one thing I couldn't get used to was digital's lack of photographic warmth.
The Evolution of the Photographer
I was eager to see the evolution of the photographer and photography.
And I had the privilege of catching up with Claire and viewing her gallery yesterday as the West Medford Open Studios hosted its yearly art exhibit where Claire's work, Fotographia di Vita (Photography of Life), was on display.
We chatted about the old days, the photo days, digital photography and the inspiration for her current work – Fotographia di Vita – Photography of Life.
An Overwhelming Analogy
But as we chatted, the most overwhelming analogy came over me – how different life can be if we look at it from a different angle.
I was totally captivated by a photograph Claire had on display of something so many of us walk past daily without a second thought. But when she saw it, she saw it with a different eye, a photographer's eye, and it instantly became something more magnanimous than what it was.
I couldn't leave without purchasing Infinity. The combination of color, clarity and serenity in this photograph captivated me. You could almost hear the crispness of the waves frolicking together.
And the demand for a Beacon Hill Street was so overwhelming Claire was taking orders – including mine. And again, while the view in this picture is a very common sight in Boston, through the eye, the lens and the perception of a photographer, it became something serenely beautiful.
A New Awakening
I left Claire's exhibit yesterday with a new awakening and a new perception of digital photography. I thank her for both. I look forward to looking through life and my digital viewfinder from a different angle (okay, you don't actually look through a digital viewfinder).
But think about it, what could your life become if you looked at it with the eye of a photographer.
Just for Fun ~ an Invitation
Let's have some fun with this artistic revelation. I invite you to pick something that's going on in your life and look at it from a different angle. Then share your experience in comments below. How did it change? What did you experience? Were you able to see something new, something more beautiful?
Life truly is the result of the perception with which you view it. I'm not saying it's always easy. But I AM saying it's ALWAYS the case. But if we try and look at it with a different perception perhaps we'll struggle just a little less.
Be a photographer in your own life and enjoy seeing the beauty in the ordinary.
A thank you to Claire for cleaning my lens of life and adjusting my focus !

So...I had this master plan to give all every single little detail about my perm rod sets today. I was gonna take a zillion pictures---but you know that only 3 would have been blog-worthy. I even considered filming my installation process. Then realized that my weirdness would be completely revealed---and scratched that idea too. My brilliant plan also included mapping out all the how to's and what to use. Then...I woke up late. Didn't even have time to take down all of my rollers. Yep. That's what the universe thinks of my mater plan. Smh.
Instead---here's the condensed version. With a few silly pics! Here's how my #washdayexperience went...
- Extreme Deep Condition- I detangled my hair in about 8 sections then applied Matrix Hydrasource Conditioner to my roots and Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe from the line of demarcation to my ends. Afterwards, I applied a little extra virgin coconut oil from root to tip to seal in the conditioner. I covered with a plastic cap + knit beanie for a few hours.
- Tea Rinse- I hopped in the shower to rinse the conditioner section by section. Then I applied my tea rinse of 2 green tea bags + 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of glycerin. I let the mixture sit on my hair for about 5 minutes.
- Detangling Treatment- I rinsed the tea then applied a Matrix Biolage Detangling Solution.
- Air Dried- I applied a bit of Chi Silk Infusion to 80-85% wrapped in a cotton t-shirt.
- Leave ins-I used Jessicurl Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner to moisturize and extra virgin coconut oil to seal, then set my hair on orange perm rods and left in overnight (approx 4-5 hours)
The Results:
I totally didn't have enough time to take down all of my rollers before I needed to get gone---so I improvised. Hello crochet beanie. Hello curly fringe. I think that I'll keep you!
I wanted a fuller perm rod set this time, but using more rods wasn't really an option---I kinda forgot to buy more. Instead, I took each section, divided it into two, then two strand twisted it a few times. Starting from the roots, I wrapped my hair around the rods and secured. It makes take down super easy, you get twice as many curls and ZERO breakage from trying to divide and fluff your curls. #winning
I don't plan to wear these curls down much, so I skipped a holding product on my ends. The curls from perm rods are awesome---don't get me wrong---but I love them most for how they stretch my roots to blend all this 15 months post relaxer textures.
Promise you won't tell my secret?!
How was your #washdayexperience?

Calcium is essential for normal growth and development.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and bone contains 99% of it.
Calcium is generally found in the form of calcium phosphate.
In addition to its function in building and maintaining bones and teeth, calcium is an important cofactor required in many enzymatic reactions. These reactions include the contraction of muscle, the release of neurotransmitters, the clotting of blood and the regulation of the heart rate.
Some of these reactions take place on the surface of the mineral.
Calcium serves the function of nerve nutrient since it is involved in the electrical transmissions of nerve signals.
Calcium deficiency can result in muscle cramps especially in the muscles of the back and legs.
Calcium Regulation
Calcium homeostasis is important to the body's skeleton. The concentration of blood calcium is regulated by parathyroid hormone (parathormone) in conjunction with Vitamin D.
There is a continuous exchange of calcium between different 'calcium pool' sites in the body. There is roughly 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) of calcium in the body, 99% of which is stored in bone. Ten grams therefore, is the only amount available for all other cell processes and metabolic reactions.
During growth, calcium balance remains positive with more calcium consumed than excreted. During adulthood, calcium remains in equilibrium and is finely regulated. Late in life, calcium excretion exceeds its intake and must be remedied through the diet.
Parathormone increases blood calcium levels. Specialized cells within the thyroid gland secrete calcitonin, a hormone that lowers calcium levels by increasing its concentration in bone. These two glands produce opposing hormones (parathormone and calcitonin) that regulate calcium levels.
Magnesium is an essential mineral with multiple metabolic roles. These include its involvement in protein synthesis and role in muscle contraction. Magnesium also plays a vital role in metabolism, glycolysis, membrane permeability and active transport. Magnesium is required in the conversion of ATP to ADP, with the release of energy used to power biological reactions.
Magnesium is important for protein formation, DNA production and nerve conduction. Magnesium helps maintain intracellular potassium levels and blocks the entry of excessive calcium into the cell. Magnesium slows the release of adrenaline from the adrenal gland and plays a central role in the production and secretion of insulin. Magnesium therefore helps regulate blood glucose levels. Magnesium is embedded in glucose metabolism and helps delay fatigue from carbohydrate depletion.
Magnesium inhibits platelet sticking and raises HDL-cholesterol levels (the good cholesterol), which helps prevent atherosclerosis. High levels of Magnesium can prevent muscle spasms. Magnesium is a calcium channel-blocker, which blocks the entry of calcium into vascular smooth muscle thus relaxing arterial muscle walls. This lowers vascular resistance and reduces blood pressure. Magnesium supplements are recommended to improve endurance.

Midland County's Library Director John Trischitti, better known as Mr. T, has put Midland on the map as one of the state's top libraries. In 2014, he won Texas Librarian of the year, and one of his passions is literacy. In March 2017, Trischitti gave a Ted Talk at Abilene Christian University about the larger implications of illiteracy. Nguyen and John discuss the correlation between illiteracy and lower income, poor health, and greater inequality.
Midland Need to Read summarizes estimates on the literacy gap in Midland County based on reports from Texas literacy organizations:
64,000 adults in Midland need English language assistance (Texas LEARNS)
32,000 need basic literacy skills (Texas Center for the Advancement of Literacy and Learning)
28,000 lack a high school diploma or equivalent (Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy & Midland Census)

CBC: Lenore Zann seeks federal Liberal nomination for Cumberland-Colchester
Longtime NDP MLA Lenore Zann will seek the federal Liberal nomination in Cumberland-Colchester.
Zann has been the MLA for Truro-Bible Hill, and later Truro-Bible Hill-Millbrook-Salmon River, for a decade. She made an announcement at a celebration on Sunday to mark 10 years on the job as an MLA.
"In the end I talked to my family, I talked to my friends, I talked to lots of constituents in the last six months and everybody agreed that the only way I could possibly beat Andrew Scheer and keep the seat from going to the Conservatives was to run for the Liberals," Zann said. "And they've welcomed me with open arms so that's why I decided to go this way."
Zann said she had been approached by the federal NDP to run as well. She said Jagmeet Singh's leadership played no role in her decision.
"Jagmeet is a lovely, lovely bright young man full of all kinds of great ideas like Justin Trudeau," Zann said. "I really like them both. I met with both of them before Christmas when I was in Ottawa."
She also said she would leave the provincial NDP caucus and sit as an independent for the time being.

Grammy Award-winning violinist and composer Mark O'Connor's American school of string playing, the O'Connor Method, will continue to grow in 2015 further expanding its acclaimed mission for music education with camps at the Turtle Bay Music School (New York, NY), the South Shore Conservatory (South Boston, MA), Lee Summit High School (Kansas City, MO), and Southern Maine Community College (Portland, ME), with more expected to follow.
The O'Connor Method has been revered as the method to rival, as it combines the art of teaching young children with the teaching of American music. By joining the rich heritage of American music with the art of playing a stringed instrument, the O'Connor Method has the ingredients to stand the test of time in every aspect of a creative string method. Founded by fiddler, Mark O'Connor, the method is centered around engaging young musicians with American music history.
Nashville, TN - On May 4th, Mark O'Connor will present a free lecture-demonstration to the public on his best-selling string teaching method, the O'Connor Method, at Harton Recital Hall in Massey Performing Arts Center, Belmont University, Nashville, Tennessee. This is O'Connor's first public appearance in Nashville since performing with the Nashville symphony in March 2007.
Musician, composer, and educator Mark O'Connor is gaining followers among teachers and students every day with his revolutionary American school of string playing, the O'Connor Method, which the New Yorker calls "an American-grown rival to the Suzuki method." In an in-depth story about O'Connor's approach to music education, CNN featured the violinist and his innovative Method, which focuses on American musical history and vernacular as opposed to the study of European classical pieces emphasized in other programs.

Michelle Williams to star opposite Amy Schumer in new comedy
Michelle Williams has joined Amy Schumer's latest vehicle I Feel Pretty.
The four-time Oscar nominee is best known for her dramatic roles, but is teaming with funny woman Schumer on Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein's new comedy, reports Deadline.
Williams will play cosmetics company boss Avery LeClaire, who starts to take more notice of her employee Renee Bennett, played by Schumer, after a knock on Renee's head fills her with a newfound confidence.
Renee believes a spell has made her beautiful, but in reality, she still looks the same to everyone around her.
However, her belief that she is now pretty helps propel her career, and after finally realizing nothing has changed with her looks, Renee learns that beauty is not skin deep.
Production begins in July in Boston, and marks Kohn and Silverstein's directing debut. The pair have also penned the script, and are behind comedies How to Be Single and He's Just Not That Into You.
STXfilms acquired the U.S. rights to the film at the Cannes Film Festival last week (ends28May17), shelling out $15 million (£11.6 million).
Trainwreck star Schumer is shrugging off the recently panned Snatched, co-starring Goldie Hawn, which fared moderately well at the box office but was received badly by critics and moviegoers alike.
She's also currently working on comedy drama She Came to Me, opposite Nicole Kidman and Steve Carell, and drama Thank You for Your Service, which hits cinemas in October.
Meanwhile, Williams is busy with The Greatest Showman, All the Money in the World and Janis Joplin biopic Janis, where she stars as the late musician.

I attended the Justice or Else rally marking the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March in Washington D.C. It was a remarkable chance to see so many black men assembled at one https://www.acheterviagrafr24.com/achat-viagra-en-ligne-sans-ordonnance/ time united in many ways yet, after it's all said and done, we continue to fail to come together and support one another to make black businesses successful.
The hair weave industry is controlled by the Korean community, who have built their businesses through a network of strong family support. We in the black community would be well-served to strive to support one another in business ventures levitra target pharmacy to strength our community on similar ways.
The shaving industry is dominated largely by the major name brand companies and yet
the small, minority-owned companies don't always get the support from the black community that they seek to serve. The brand name has the credibility, even if the results are not optimum (results in razorbumps – we tell ourselves it just is the way it is). '
Those specializing in the treatment of razorbumps (often small, minority-owned companies) are often overlooked. But let's consider, who better to come up with a solution to razorbumps than those who have experienced them? So next time you are considering a new razor bump product, weigh all your options.

I love sweets. Candy is number one, rich dense stuff like dark chocolate, nut-free fudge, See's bordeaux chocolates (love those sprinkles). I adore Junior Mints and Peppermint Patties, Kit Kat bars, 3 Musketeers (which used to come as three bars, chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla) and Milky Way.
Next on the treat food chain is ice cream, any chocolate or caramel-type variety (again sans nuts, although pecans in pralines & cream and walnuts in rocky road are acceptable). The ice cream must be topped with lots of gooey topping (chocolate, caramel or butterscotch). A little whipped topping and a cherry are okay, but not required.
Then come fudge brownies and chocolate fudge cake, preferably frosted with a nice ganache. I also adore lemon bars and lemon cake and just about any kind of pudding. I'm a bit ambivalent about cookies, although a chewy, fresh-baked chocolate chip is pretty yummy.
Yeah, kind of ridiculous. Luckily I have some self-control, which keeps me from eating a Halloween bag's worth every day as I might like. I eat a piece of chocolate here, a bowl of ice cream there, then exercise like crazy to keep the sweets from jumping directly on my hips. I really try hard not to gobble up everything in sight.
Not so the Milky Way (the galaxy, not the candy bar). Apparently, that monstrously big collection of stars has been gobbling up other galaxies in the neighborhood. Astronomers have discovered stars within the Milky Way that all have similar speeds and chemical compositions, which indicates they originally came from a common source. This Science News article describes how the Aquarius star stream within the Milky Way is fairly compactly grouped, which indicates the stars were gulped down by Milky Way somewhat recently. They haven't yet had time to stretch out, although the Milky Way's gravity is stretching Aquarius like taffy. There are other star streams that astronomers have identified as well, which were consumed by greedy Milky Way billions of years ago.
So maybe I don't feel so bad about my sweet tooth. At least I'm not munching up galaxies like the Milky Way does. I've got way more self-control than that.
Of course, if the galaxies were made of chocolate, it might be a different story entirely.

A word cloud of the transcript from Wednesday night's presidential debate.
The first debate between President Obama and challenger Mitt Romney on Wednesday featured several surprises — Romney was energetic and assertive, for example, while Obama often seemed aloof or annoyed — but the focus on fiscal issues wasn't one of them. The 90-minute debate included lots of talk about economic growth, federal spending and health care, leaving little time for discussion of environmental issues.
The word cloud above displays the candidates' most frequently uttered words in larger text, revealing in general what they spent most of their time talking about. Since it has few terms related to the environment, I've created a second word cloud below, focused on Obama's and Romney's science and environmental references:
"Energy" was easily the top environmental term, even after selecting out qualitative phrases like "green energy" and "energy independent" (which were mentioned three times each). Oil and natural gas also came up several times, but there wasn't a single use of the phrases "global warming" or "climate change" — despite a petition with 160,000 signatures urging moderator Jim Lehrer to ask the candidates about their climate policies. This omission was widely reflected on Twitter via #climatesilence.
Much of the energy talk dealt with U.S. oil and gas production, which both candidates agreed has grown under Obama. Romney said this is "in spite of" Obama's policies, though, arguing that "all of the increase in natural gas and oil has happened on private land, not on government land." He's right that most new production has taken place on private property, but the Congressional Research Service recently reported that "oil production on federal lands is up slightly in 2011 when compared to 2007."
Renewable energy was largely ignored all night, aside from Obama calling wind and solar power "energy sources of the future" and Romney expressing skepticism about federal support for the industry. Romney defended oil subsidies, saying most go to "small companies, to drilling operators and so forth," but also claimed "about half of [clean-energy companies that] have been invested in have gone out of business."
He cited Solyndra as an example, and also named other clean-tech companies such as Fisker and Tesla. Fact-checkers have since debunked his claim that half of federally supported clean-energy companies are out of business, though — John Broder of the New York Times described it as a "gross overstatement," while TIME correspondent Michael Grunwald called it "the lie of the night."
Here's a list of all 33 companies that have received loans under the Department of Energy's loan guarantee program. Several are facing financial problems, Broder notes, but only three have filed for bankruptcy — far less than "about half," as Romney claimed. The DOE's loan program portfolio is currently 87 percent "low-risk" power-generation projects, according to a 2011 analysis by Bloomberg Government, and has supported a variety of successful clean-energy ventures.
It's unclear how much attention, if any, will be given to climate change and other environmental issues for the rest of the campaign. The next debate between Romney and Obama will take place Oct. 16 in New York, followed by a final showdown on foreign policy Oct. 22 in Florida. Vice presidential candidates Paul Ryan and Joe Biden will square off next Thursday, Oct. 11, in Kentucky.

Pride Month is here and it's time to celebrate individuality, and to help kick things off, Lance Bass made an appearance during iHeartRadio Wango Tango 2018 by AT&T where he helped create a gorgeous rainbow-filled moment to acknowledge Pride and the efforts of the Trevor Project along with their new partnership with AT&T.
The Trevor Project was founded in 1998 by the creators of the Academy Award-winning short film TREVOR, and according to their website, is "the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25."
On stage beside Lance was Trevor Project CEO Amit Paley and AT&T's Val Vargas. Lance said to everyone in the Banc of California Stadium, "Pride month is all about celebrating our individuality and supporting the LGBTQ community. But being young and LGBTQ isn't easy." He added, "As Val mentioned, AT&T, our partner who is bring you this whole show tonight, has been dedicated to supporting LGBTQ equality since 1975, and they are continuing their commitment to the LGBTQ community by partnering with the Trevor Project."
Val explained of Trevor Project's partnership with AT&T, "Starting right now, AT&T will support the Trevor Project with products, services, and ... are you ready for this? A one million dollar contribution!"
Lance added, "The Trevor Project provides crisis counseling for LGBTQ youth via phone, text and chat. Now, thanks to AT&T's game-changing support, The Trevor Project will be able to grow and serve more of the 1.5 million LGBTQ youth in America that need our help. If you think you might be LGBTQ and are feeling hopeless or alone, go to TheTrevorProject.org to learn more and get the support you need."
Then, as they all proclaimed "Let's turn up the love!" the crowd in the stadium waved glow sticks and rainbow Pride flags.
Just before Lance, Val, and Amit appeared on stage, Meghan Trainor had a rainbow moment of her own when she waved a rainbow flag in the air while singing "Like I'm Gonna Lose You," with the entire stadium following suit.
Earlier in the day at the Wango Tango Village presented by the California Earthquake Authority, Trevor Project displayed a wall of rainbow hearts, with concert-goers filling out each heart with messages like "I pledge to help my LGBTQ friends live a life free from prejudice and judgement" and "I support LGBTQ people's right to live a peaceful life and be at peace with who they are."
If you missed any of this year's Wango Tango, we've got you covered. Fans can re-live all of the best moments from the amazing summer kickoff concert by tuning into an 90-minute television special, exclusively on Freeform, on Sunday, June 3rd at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
