Carol Diann Johnson was born in the Bronx, New York City, on July 17, 1935, to John Johnson, a subway conductor, and Mabel (Faulk), a nurse. While Carroll was still an infant, the family moved to Harlem, where she grew up except for a brief period in which her parents had left her with an aunt in North Carolina. She attended Music and Art High School, and was a classmate of Billy Dee Williams. In many interviews about her childhood, Carroll recalls her parents' support, and their enrolling her in dance, singing, and modeling classes. By the time Carroll was 15, she was modeling for Ebony. "She also began entering television contests, including Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, under the name Diahann Carroll." After graduating from high school, she attended New York University, where she majored in sociology, "but she left before graduating to pursue a show-business career, promising her family that if the career did not materialize after two years, she would return to college.

Carroll's big break came at the age of 18, when she appeared as a contestant on the DuMont Television Network program, Chance of a Lifetime, hosted by Dennis James. On the show, which aired January 8, 1954, she took the $1,000 top prize for a rendition of the Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein song, "Why Was I Born?" She went on to win the following four weeks. Engagements at Manhattan's Café Society and Latin Quarter, nightclubs soon followed.

Carroll's film debut was a supporting role in Carmen Jones (1954), as a friend to the sultry lead character played by Dorothy Dandridge. That same year, she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role in the Broadway musical, House of Flowers. A few years later, she played Clara in the film version of George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess (1959), but her character's singing parts were dubbed by opera singer Loulie Jean Norman. The following year, Carroll made a guest appearance in the series Peter Gunn, in the episode "Sing a Song of Murder" (1960). In the next two years, she starred with Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward in the film Paris Blues (1961) and won the 1962 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical (the first time for a Black woman) for portraying Barbara Woodruff in the Samuel A. Taylor and Richard Rodgers musical No Strings. Twelve years later, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her starring role alongside James Earl Jones in the film Claudine (1974), which part had been written specifically for actress Diana Sands (who had made guest appearances on Julia as Carroll's cousin Sara), but shortly before filming was to begin, Sands learned she was terminally ill with cancer. Sands attempted to carry on with the role, but as filming began, she became too ill to continue and recommended her friend Carroll take over the role. Sands died in September 1973, before the film's release in April 1974.

Carroll is known for her titular role in the television series Julia (1968-71), which made her the first African-American actress to star in her own television series who did not play a domestic worker. That role won her the Golden Globe Award for Best TV Star – Female for its first year, and a nomination for an Primetime Emmy Award in 1969. Some of Carroll's earlier work also included appearances on shows hosted by Johnny Carson, Judy Garland, Merv Griffin, Jack Paar, and Ed Sullivan, and on The Hollywood Palace variety show. In 1984, Carroll joined the nighttime soap opera Dynasty at the end of its fourth season as the mixed-race jet set diva Dominique Deveraux, Blake Carrington's half-sister. Her high-profile role on Dynasty also reunited her with her schoolmate Billy Dee Williams, who briefly played her onscreen husband Brady Lloyd. Carroll remained on the show and made several appearances on its short-lived spin-off, The Colbys until she departed at the end of the seventh season in 1987. In 1989, she began the recurring role of Marion Gilbert in A Different World, for which she received her third Emmy nomination that same year.

In 1991, Carroll portrayed Eleanor Potter, the doting, concerned, and protective wife of Jimmy Potter (portrayed by Chuck Patterson), in the musical drama film The Five Heartbeats (1991), also featuring actor and musician Robert Townsend and Michael Wright. She reunited with Billy Dee Williams again in 1995, portraying his character's wife Mrs. Greyson in Lonesome Dove: The Series. The following year, Carroll starred as the self-loving and deluded silent movie star Norma Desmond in the Canadian production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of the film Sunset Boulevard. In 2001, Carroll made her animation debut in The Legend of Tarzan, in which she voiced Queen La, ruler of the ancient city of Opar.

In 2006, Carroll appeared in several episodes the television medical drama Grey's Anatomy as Jane Burke, the demanding mother of Dr. Preston Burke. From 2008 to 2014, she appeared on USA Network's series White Collar in the recurring role of June, the savvy widow who rents out her guest room to Neal Caffrey. In 2010, Carroll was featured in UniGlobe Entertainment's breast cancer docudrama titled 1 a Minute and appeared as Nana in two Lifetime movie adaptations of Patricia Cornwell’s novels: At Risk and The Front.

In 2013, Carroll was present on stage at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards to briefly speak about being the first African-American nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. She was quoted as saying about Kerry Washington, nominated for Scandal, "She better get this award."

Carroll was a founding member of the Celebrity Action Council, a volunteer group of celebrity women who served the women's outreach of the Los Angeles Mission, working with women in rehabilitation from problems with alcohol, drugs, or prostitution. She helped to form the group along with other female television personalities including Mary Frann, Linda Gray, Donna Mills, and Joan Van Ark.

Carroll was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997. She said the diagnosis "stunned" her, because there was no family history of breast cancer, and she had always led a healthy lifestyle. She underwent nine weeks of radiation therapy and had been clear for years after the diagnosis. She frequently spoke of the need for early detection and prevention of the disease. She died from cancer at her home in West Hollywood, California, on October 4, 2019, at the age of 84. Carroll also had dementia at the time of her death, though actor Marc Copage, who played her character's son on Julia, said that she did not appear to show serious signs of cognitive decline as late as 2017. A memorial service was held in November 24, 2019, at the Helen Hayes Theater in New York City.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a light-based means of printing nano-sized metal structures that is significantly faster and cheaper than any technology currently available. It is a scalable solution that could transform a scientific field long reliant on technologies that are prohibitively expensive and slow. The breakthrough has the potential to bring new technologies out of labs and into the world. Technological advances in many fields rely on the ability to print metallic structures that are nano-sized -- a scale hundreds of times smaller than the width of a human hair. Sourabh Saha, assistant professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, and Jungho Choi, a Ph.D. student in Saha's lab, developed a technique for printing metal nanostructures that is 480 times faster and 35 times cheaper than the current conventional method.

omg Judy Woodruff, PBS Newshour veteran, is on and talking about the 1980 convention, the first she ever covered, and apparently for about 24 hours, after Gerald Ford gave a blockbuster speech, there was serious talk about having him as the VP on the ticket (George H.W. Bush was the actual nominee)

Wednesday 24 July 1963

“My most exciting Beatles’ experience was when they were in Weston-super-Mare. Here is my diary exactly as I wrote it at the time: ‘Went down Weston on the Wednesday morning (24 July 1963) with Joyce. Found out what hotel Beatles staying in by buying 2 chaps ten fags each. Went to hotel (Royal Pier) in afternoon. Got Paul’s, Fred’s & Les Chadwick’s autographs. Gerry, John & George came out but were in a hurry but managed to get Gerry’s autograph. Chap on duty at door left in car so as Fred had told us Beatles’ bedroom number was 49 about six of us went up. Door open, went in, no one there, ward-robe open. Bible open on one of the two beds. Letter for George on dressing table & record cover with John’s name on in ward-robe so must have been John & George’s bedroom.

“I took big card label from one of a pile of Wolsey Cotton rib X briefs!! Nearly got police on us because we went up to bedroom. Went to show (2nd performance)-fab!!! They recognised us especially Paul & Fred. Went down Weston on the Friday morning (26 July 1963) with Stephanie & Ros. Went straight to hotel. Got rest of Beatles’ & Pacemakers’ autographs and also Tommy Quickly’s. Got label from pants signed by Beatles. Paul knew I’d been up in bedroom!! Took photos. Stayed outside hotel all day (7 ½ hours). THEY’RE FAB!!!” Sandra Woodruff

Eminent Spirits Appear to Wilford Woodruff

In 1877, the Founding Fathers of the United States and other eminent men and women appeared in a vision to Wilford Woodruff, president of the St. George Temple, for the purpose of completing their temple work. President Woodruff, assisted by others, immediately went forth and had the ordinances performed for these men and women.

this is absolutely peak mormonism

Quote about Christianity from George Woodruff.

[azeez-unv]

NO CHILD IS DULL!

There is no dull kid.

Every kid only needs to find the right environment to thrive. Many of these children live with certain conditions like Dyslexia, Autism, Apraxia among others that can really affect their learning and growth. These conditions have killed the potentials of many kids, because they were impatiently abandoned by their teachers/Parents.

My Dear Teachers and Parents, We must learn about these mental conditions and be able to identify/recognise them in kids. It will enable them find or adopt the best methods of teaching them. All children cannot learn the same way.

Kids who survive these conditions turn out to be good leaders and of course the best in their endeavours. They can thrive anywhere because their brains and mental structures have passed through and survived worse conditions - Dyslexia, Autism, etc.

Former America's Presidents, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln - Great Scientists like Albert Einstein, Pierre Currie - Visual Artists like Ansel Adams, Nicole Bentacourt - Great writers like Natasha Solomons, Stephen Cannel - Business Leaders like Robert Woodruff, Henry Ford, Ted Turner among others inexhaustible in this write-up were/are survivors of Dyslexia.

No child should be abandoned because he is a slow learner. When I was very young, I saw teachers abandon kids who were slow learners, kids who couldn't read as fast as some of their classmates and whose writings were very bad... Some kids even do well in exams when questions are read to their ears and fail when they written on the board and left to do justice to the questions. Some kids need AOC to do well. These are different conditions that teachers must know about their kids under their watch.

Please these conditions are not permanent. You can help these kids to walk through them. As a teacher, you have to be patient with them, counsel them where necessary, sacrifice part of your free time for them, give them special assignments (all children in your class don't have to get the same assignment/homework. This is the mistake most teachers must start correcting). Let them love and trust you. They will begin to be interested in the subjects, discovering and believing in themselves.

When they succeed, you succeed as a teacher. Parents too must help!

Or Maybe this pathetic man who threw her under the bus for his photoshop fail while she is in this “ worrisome convalescence” maybe, he should have kept his bald self at her side !

What kind of a man abandon his wife when she is going through the hardest time of her life, let alone cancer? He ain’t definitely husband material, That’s for sure.

Who does he think he is? John Edwards ?

for those who are wondering who is this guy, allow me to give you a history lesson. Back in 2008 Edwards was one of the top candidates in the democrat party who was running for president along with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama . So why is his name mentioned in a negative light you might ask yourself? Because as it turns out Edwards is a terrible human being who was engaged in an affair with Rielle Hunter, a filmmaker hired to work for his 2008 presidential campaign, and that Hunter had given birth to a child from the relationship. Now get this: Edwards admitted to ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff that he did have an extended affair with Hunter, but denied that he was the father of Hunter's baby girl. Only to end up admitting that he was indeed the father of Hunter's child On January 21, 2010 . This would have already messed up by itself except for another thing: his wife Elizabeth was going through cancer!

I haven’t forgotten about how he was having an affair and had a legitimate child with his mistress while his wife Elizabeth was going through terminal cancer.

Thank goodness he wasn’t the top winner of the 2008 democratic presidential nomination otherwise we would have had a John McCain presidency with Sarah Pailin as the vice president because Edwards would have been destroyed by the negative political ads and let’s be honest nobody wants a president who cheated on his dying wife and impregnated his mistress, and that’s coming from the same person who enjoyed the tv drama “scandal “ which centered around a forbidden love affair between a political fixer and the president

But if there’s any silver lining about this is that tabloid newspaper that broke the story the national enquire was considered worthy of a Pulitzer Prize.

yes that Pulitzer the same one that was later given to artists like hip hop icon Kendrick Lamar ,Hamilton: An American Musical and Staff of The Star Tribune newspaper based in Minneapolis for its coverage of the murder of George Floyd and the resulting protests in Minneapolis-Saint Paul.

yep the coverage from a typical tabloid news outlet (which is no New York Times or Los Angeles times) of a presidential candidate exposed for having an affair with his filmmaker of his failed presidential campaign was thought of being worthy of this achievement

let that sink in

A good battery needs two things: high energy density to power devices, and stability, so it can be safely and reliably recharged thousands of times. For the past three decades, lithium-ion batteries have reigned supreme -- proving their performance in smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles. But battery researchers have begun to approach the limits of lithium-ion. As next-generation long-range vehicles and electric aircraft start to arrive on the market, the search for safer, cheaper, and more powerful battery systems that can outperform lithium-ion is ramping up. A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Matthew McDowell, associate professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Materials Science and Engineering, is using aluminum foil to create batteries with higher energy density and greater stability. The team's new battery system, detailed in Nature Communications, could enable electric vehicles to run longer on a single charge and would be cheaper to manufacture -- all while having a positive impact on the environment.

LO MEJOR ESTÁ POR VENIR!!

Phoenix.- Los enfrentamientos de la postemporada de las Grandes Ligas están definidos, con los duelos por el comodín de la Liga Americana y la Liga Nacional arrancando hoy

Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson y la potente ofensiva de los Bravos de Atlanta se han hecho acreedores de unos días adicionales de descanso y relajación tras el trajín de los 162 juegos de temporada regular en las Grandes Ligas.

Mismo caso para José Altuve, Justin Verlander y los vigentes campeones Astros de Houston –quienes ganaron el banderín de la División Oeste de la Liga Americana en el último día de la temporada– al igual que los Dodgers de Los Angeles y la admirable historia de los Orioles de Baltimore.

En cuanto a los ocho equipos restantes la acción de la postemporada llega de manera apresurada.

Los enfrentamientos de la postemporada de las Grandes Ligas están definidos, con los duelos por el comodín de la Liga Americana y la Liga Nacional arrancando hoy. Es el segundo año con el nuevo formato de octubre, que incluye una primera ronda con series al mejor de tres, con todos los juegos disputándose en casa del mejor clasificado.

En la Americana, los sextos clasificados Azulejos de Toronto visitarán a los terceros Mellizos de Minnesota, y los quintos Rangers de Texas viajarán a casa de los cuartos Rays de Tampa Bay. En la Nacional, figuran los sextos Diamondbacks de Arizona ante los terceros Cerveceros de Milwaukee, y los quintos Marlins de Miami ante los Filis de Filadelfia.

Los Bravos, Astros, Dodgers, y Orioles tendrán aproximadamente una semana libre antes de las series divisionales.

Las series por el comodín

Diamondbacks vs Cerveceros

Los Diamondbacks vuelven a la postemporada por primera vez desde 2017, a pesar de caer en sus últimos cuatro juegos de la temporada regular. El veloz novato Corbin Carroll lidera una alineación versátil, mientras que el diestro Zac Gallen está entre los candidatos al premio Cy Young de la Liga Nacional. La alineación de los Cerveceros es comandada por Christian Yelich, el ‘Jugador Más Valioso’ del 2018, y su rotación de lanzadores cuenta con un sólido trío conformado por Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff y el dominicano Freddy Peralta.

Marlins vs Filis

Los Marlins lidiaron con el mal tiempo en Nueva York durante el empuje final que les llevó a conseguir su comodín. El venezolano Luis Arráez ganó el título de bateo en la Nacional con promedio de .354, mientras que el zurdo venezolano Jesús Luzardo y Braxton Garrett encabezan la rotación ante la ausencia del as dominicano Sandy Alcántara, debido a una lesión que lo mantendrá fuera lo que resta de la temporada. Los Filis intentan regresar a la Serie Mundial –la cual perdieron ante los Astros el año pasado– y cuentan con una alineación profunda con Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos y Trea Turner.

Azulejos vs Mellizos

Los Azulejos son un difícil sexto clasificado, con una de las alineaciones más profundas en las Grandes Ligas, incluyendo a Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Matt Chapman, George Springer, y Whit Merrifield. También tienen profundidad en el montículo con Chris Bassitt, José Berríos, Kevin Gausman y Yusei Kikuchi. Los Mellizos fácilmente fueron los mejores en la débil División Central de la Americana. Esperan que jugadores como el campocorto Carlos Correa y el tercera base Royce Lewis puedan regresar saludables tras sufrir lesiones en las últimas semanas de la temporada.

Rangers vs Rays

Los Rangers están liderados por un cuadro interior estelar conformado por Marcus Semien y Corey Seager, que podrían terminar entre los primeros cinco de las votaciones a ‘Jugador Más Valioso’ en la Liga Americana. El jardinero cubano Adolis García también tuvo un gran año. Su rotación de lanzadores no cuenta con la mayoría de sus grandes nombres, pero se ha visto estable con Dane Dunning, Andrew Heaney y Nathan Eovaldi. Los Rays fueron el equipo más encendido en las primeras semanas de la temporada, pero fueron alcanzados por los Orioles a mitad de temporada. Su balanceada alineación incluye al cubano Yandy Díaz, al mexicano Isaac Paredes, y al cubano-mexicano Randy Arozarena. Zach Eflin y Tyler Glasnow encabezan su cuerpo de lanzadores.

Funny story.

So before the integrated system for temple ordinance requests existed on FamilySearch, the process for requesting ordinances was very different. It involved different computer systems that evolved over time. I was there for the transition from Personal Ancestral File to New.FamilySearch.org. I was in college when they really started pushing people to use it. My friends who were born and raised in the Church used to play with it, looking up various people and seeing how far back their lines went and how much nonsense was in it.

My friend who is now a pharmacist saw in his that he was supposed to be related to John Smith and Pocahontas.

My closest friend discovered that someone in her family was sealed to George Q. Cannon for some reason. It didn't seem like a polygamy thing because they didn't have any children. The correct information was in there and intact, so she didn't do anything about it and we both eventually forgot about it.

Years later, I called her and told her I had discovered why.

I was reading something on the Internet about President Wilford Woodruff (I couldn't tell you what it was now) as the one who transitioned sealings into familial lineage as they are now. Because before that, people were sealing themselves to random prophets and apostles, trying to coattail themselves into heaven. It was a reflection of early attitudes regarding temple sealings, both through the living and the dead—where the goal is to connect yourself with the "highest" leader of the Church you have access to.

Wilford Woodruff had to tell them that what they were doing made no sense, that this isn't an easy way to get a free ticket into heaven. The idea that an apostle, who is a stranger to you, is better equipped to get you into heaven over your own family was ludicrous. I think we can agree there are many problems with this particular form of patriarchy, and it's best left in the past.

What we need instead is the expansion that we've seen in society of what it means to be someone's guardian. Temple sealings only respect adoption inasmuch as you're dealing with people who aren't born and raised in the covenant.

I've had multiple families offer to adopt me, both as a teenager and as an adult, because of how much everyone who looked at my family situation would say "oh hell no" and try to pull me out of it. I gathered surrogate parents everywhere I went. A system that respects my birth parents, but not the love and labor any of these other people have given to care for me, seems incomplete.

And apart from adult adoptions, legally undergoing the expense and effort to reconstruct a family on paper that didn't exist through blood, is the only way I could see the Church honoring such bonds. And that seems deeply unfair.

Because I'm not sealed to my parents, who aren't members, I get a choice here. People who are born in the covenant don't get that chance, from what I understand. I've never heard or seen any examples of living people who were born in the covenant being sealed to different parents. And that needs to be addressed through more than "God won't enforce it in the afterlife if you don't want him to." Especially when it's not about replacing one set of parents with different ones, as much as it is honoring all the guardians someone has had throughout their lives.

All this to say: this is only weird and hard because we're making it weird and hard. Let it be easy. Guardianship temple sealings should be a thing. Let's make them a thing, and not limit them only to fathers and mothers, and not use that language for them. Treat them as equally binding as parental and spousal sealings and stop telling people they aren't going all the way into heaven because they don't have anyone to be sealed to.

Why? Because that's the messaging I was given when I came into the Church. It's harmful and made me really weird for a very long time about the prospect of my own death. To do this to people is a choice. So let's just stop doing it.

I just wish we could really embrace what the doctrine of eternal families means in the church. We can't be exalted without each other, and we are all members of the family of god. We're all related, every human being alive. I love that the early church practiced lateral sealings of friends and unconventional family members. Narrowing the idea of the eternal family down to nuclear families of one particular configuration just seems like such a bastardization of such a beautiful and inclusive doctrine, that we need each other, that we owe each other everything, that love is what exalts us together as a community. I've always struggled with this doctrine as it's taught in the church because I think it's being done fundamentally wrong. Follow the logic to it's natural conclusion: we are all family.
