Sailors warned against ‘posting negative comments’ after Trump’s acting Navy secretary was trashed online
Published 2 mins ago on April 6, 2020By Matthew Chapman

On Monday, Military Times reporter Geoff Ziezulewicz obtained a message sent by PR officials to Navy officers on the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, instructing them to have sailors take down social media recordings of Navy Secretary Thomas Modly attacking relieved Capt. Brett Crozier as “stupid.”

The message warned “posting negative comments” that put “senior leaders” in a bad light is counterproductive, and urges everyone to stay out of the “negative media spotlight.”

If you have a desktop with a graphics carsd (vs onboard, built in graphics), you can fold proteins in simulation to help Stanford Univ. find a cure!

You can configure the program with the new update to only fold on your graphics card's GPU, so that your computing is not laggy or interrupted.

Also, if you are running multiple graphics cards, all the better. You can allocate projects when you accept them to run on whichever one(s) you want.

Louisiana pastor cited for defying coronavirus order hosts hundreds on Palm Sunday

[link:https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/louisiana-pastor-cited-defying-coronavirus-order-hosts-hundreds-palm-sunday-n1177751|

Cited AGAIN. 6 previous misdemeanor citations! He continues to defy stay at hime orders. WHY IS HIS ASS NOT IN JAIL? 🤬

He has also said that he believes the pandemic is "politically motivated."

When asked during an interview with CNN's Victor Blackwell if he believed in the science behind the governor's orders, Spell said, "We believe the science of this, however, we do have a command from God and there are no governing bodies that can tell us we cannot gather and worship freely."

Blackwell asked Spell why, if the pastor is pro-life, he would "put people in jeopardy of getting a virus that has no treatment, no cure, often has no symptoms and has killed more than 8,500 people" in the United States in five weeks?

"My response to that is: People's hope is in the house of God. If they do contract the virus, if they have fears of the virus, the church is more essential now than ever to pray with people, to let them know there is ... a physician in Jesus Christ," Spell said.

Cristina Cuomo gives update on husband Chris' coronavirus condition

[link:https://nypost.com/2020/04/06/cristina-cuomo-updates-on-husband-chris-coronavirus-condition/|

Cristina Cuomo said her CNN-host hubby still feels “incredible lethargy” but his fever has been down for the past three days, his oxygen levels were normal all week and an X-ray of his lungs on Sunday was clear.

“He has maintained his sense of taste and smell, but not his usual hearty Italian appetite,” Cristina, 50, wrote in an Instagram post.

To help with managing the illness, Cristina, a magazine editor, enlisted the help of Dr. Linda Lancaster, who specializes in alternative medicine, such as the practice of Ayurveda.

Since this particular virus has no proven remedy… she assigned oxygenated herbs, natural remedies and homeopathics to boost Chris’ immune system for the battle ahead,” Cristina wrote.

On Sunday, the pastor of Cross Culture Christian Center in Lodi, Calif., was greeted by several police officers in the parking lot about an hour before he intended to hold an in-person service despite coronavirus restrictions.

Pastor Jon Duncan, whose small evangelical church leases space in Bethel Open Bible Church, arrived Sunday morning, Palm Sunday, to find that Bethel, which stopped having in-person services on March 15, had changed the locks on the building to prevent his congregants from entering, Lodi Police Lt. Michael Manetti told The Times
