Dr. Anthony Fauci did a facepalm after Trump mentioned the 'Deep State Department' in a wild coronavirus briefing

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been one of the most visible health officials in the federal government's response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Normally stoic and even-keeled, Fauci briefly broke his poker face during Friday's press briefing.
When President Donald Trump went on a tangent and joked about the State Department — calling it "the Deep State Department," alluding to an unsubstantiated conspiracy against him by civil servants — Fauci covered his face.
The moment did not go unnoticed on social media — clips were shared on Twitter almost immediately afterward.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has been a stoic and even-keeled public-facing official in the federal government's response to the coronavirus outbreak, but one quip from President Donald Trump during a Friday press conference broke his poker face.

Fauci, 79, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, has become a household name since COVID-19 — the illness caused by the coronavirus — began dominating the news cycle as it spread worldwide.

The infectious-disease expert took questions at a few points during the briefing and remained steadfast by Trump's side. Except when the president went on a tangent about the State Department.

Note Fauci’s reaction when Trump makes a deep state joke at the podium

When Trump referred to it as "the Deep State Department," Fauci glanced to his right and appeared to chuckle to himself before covering his face with his palm.

Shortly afterward, Twitter lit up with users weighing in on the "Fauci facepalm."


Many shared the image or video with some variation of "Dr. Fauci is all of us right now" as the moment became a meme.

Others mocked Fauci for touching his face, going against some of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's earliest guidance about the virus.

Does a face palm count as touching your face?  




Some seemed to think Fauci was in on Trump's joke with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who faced questions from reporters during the press conference about his penchant for lashing out at journalists.

Earlier in the press conference, Fauci was undercut by Trump on whether an unapproved treatment for COVID-19 was safe.

The doctor has been a staple of televised federal responses to the outbreak and has found himself having to toe the line between conveying accurate information and not undermining the president, whose message has often differed from that of public-health experts.

Here Are The UK Newspaper Front Pages On Robin Williams' Death

It's worth remembering the Samaritans' guidelines on the reporting of suicide.

The Sun: "Robin: His final hours"

Twitter: @suttonnick

Metro: "Agony of his final hours revealed"

Twitter: @suttonnick

Daily Mirror: "Tortured"

Twitter: @BBCNews

Daily Mail: "He was facing bankruptcy"

Twitter: @BBCNews

Daily Star: "Comedy legend Robin's tragic last tweet"

Twitter: @suttonnick

The Scotsman: "Tributes for Robin Williams"

Twitter: @suttonnick

The Guardian: "His genius was defined by irrationality – a divine madness that seemed like it would never expire" (by Russell Brand)

Twitter: @suttonnick

Not one but two broadcasters apologised yesterday for their coverage of the death.

Channel 4 News said sorry for using an excerpt of Williams' classic film Good Morning, Vietnam in which he says "get a rope and hang me".

Channel 4 said: "We'd like to apologise for including what was an inappropriate line from Good Morning, Vietnam in our play-out from tonight's programme."

Radio station Talksport apologised after breakfast presenter Alan Brazil said "I don't have a lot of sympathy, I'm sorry," when discussing Williams' suicide, and said he would be more upset if Robbie Williams had died.

That station said: "Talksport would like to apologise for any offence caused. Alan's comments do not reflect the views of the station."

In case there's any doubt, these are the guidelines the Samaritans urge journalists to follow when reporting on someone's suicide.

Samaritans.org / Twitter: @suttonnick

We were very sad to hear the news about Robin Williams. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this difficult time.There is no simple explanation for why someone chooses to die by suicide and it is rarely due to one particular factor. Mental health problems are often a risk factor, as well as feelings of desperation and helplessness.We know that that when a person is in crisis and struggling to cope, they feel trapped in their situation with no way out, and that the future holds nothing good for them. They may not be able to see beyond their situation and truly believe that suicide is the only option for them.The service we offer at Samaritans offers a safe space for people to be themselves and talk about their problems without fear of being judged. We'd like to remind anyone who has been affected by this news that Samaritans is here. Contact us by phone on 08457 909090 or email jo@samaritans.org.

Queen Elizabeth Coronavirus Fears: Palace Responds After Boris Johnson Tests Positive

QUEEN ELIZABETH II "remains in good health", Buckingham Palace said after Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed he was tested positive for coronavirus.
 Boris Johnson: Age is ‘not a guarantee’ PM will be ok says expert

 

News of the Prime Minister tested positive for COVID-19 sparked fears among royal fans the Queen's could have been exposed by the virus during one of the pair's weekly meetings. However, Buckingham Palace revealed the monarch hasn't held a face-to-face with Mr Johnson since March 11.

Her health, the palace added, remains good and stable.

In a brief statement, the palace said: “HMQ remains in good health. The Queen last saw the PM on the 11th March and is following all the appropriate advice with regards to her welfare.

"We will not be commenting further.”

Buckingham Palace didn't reveal whether the Queen has been tested for coronavirus or not. 

Mr Johnson announced on Twitter he was tested after developing "mild symptoms" that could be linked to the deadly virus. 

Taking to the social media platform, the Prime Minister said in a brief video: "Hi folks, I want to bring you up to speed with something happening today.

Boris Johnson coronavirus: PM releases Twitter post on diagnosis

Boris Johnson coronavirus positive: UK PM's symptoms

“I have developed mild symptoms of coronavirus, that is to say a temperature and a persistent cough and on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer I have taken a test and that has come out positive so I am working from home, I'm self-isolating.

“And that is entirely the right thing to do – but be in no doubt that I can continue, and thanks to the wizardry of modern technology to communicate with all my top team and lead the national fightback against coronavirus and I want to thank everyone who is involved and above all our amazing NHS."

Mr Johnson then spared a few words to celebrate yesterday's moving Clap Your Hands for the NHS initiative, which saw thousands of people across the country clapping their hands to acknowledge and support NHS staff working relentlessly to fight COVID-19 and save lives.

The Prime Minister, who stepped out of No10 yesterday evening to join the country in this touching gesture, said: "It was very moving last night to join in that national clap for the NHS but it's not just the NHS.

"It's our police, our social care workers, teachers, everybody who works in schools, DWP staff... it's been an amazing national effort by the public services but also by every member of the British public who's volunteering it's been an incredible response.

"600,000 people have volunteered to take part in a great national effort to protect people from the consequences of coronavirus."

Mr Johnson than highlighted once again the importance of social distancing and self-isolation during this trying time.

He said: "I want to thank everybody who is working to keep our country going through this epidemic – and we will get through it and the way we are going to get through it is, of course, by applying the measures that you have heard so much about.

"The more effectively we all comply with those measures the faster our country will come through this epidemic and the faster we will bounce back, so thank you to everybody who is doing what I am doing, working from home, to stop the spread of the virus from household to household.

"That is the way we are going to win. We are going to beat it and we are going to beat it together.

“Stay at home, protect the NHS, and save lives.”

The death of Elvis Presley

How the Daily Express reported it 37 years ago THERE was never any question over what would lead the news on August 17 1977, from the moment the previous day that Memphis Police issued the announcement, “Presley is dead”.

Elvis Presley was found dead at his home in Graceland in 1977 [GETTY/EXPRESS]

Elvis Presley, the boy from Tennessee, had grown into an icon of 20th century culture, with a voice, style and hip swivel that entranced a generation.

In all he had 18 number ones, one more than The Beatles, including evergreen hits such as Heartbreak Hotel, Are You Lonesome Tonight and Jailhouse Rock.

The Daily Express reported the news under the stark headline, “Elvis is dead”.

New York-based reporter Brian Vine wrote: “Elvis Presley, the King of Rock, died in hospital last night after being taken ill at his home.

“The 42-year-old star was found unconscious at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee.

"He was driven to the Baptist Hospital in a fire brigade ambulance and doctors fought for 30 minutes in a vain attempt to save him.”

The first bulletin on his condition said Elvis had breathing difficulties but that was followed within an hour by the news that he had died.

Attention immediately switched to the cause of death, with the hospital saying that Presley’s doctor George Nichopoulos had indicated that a heart attack was a “possible” cause of death.

It added that nobody would know for sure until a post mortem had been conducted.

This created a window of uncertainty in which speculation could flourish.

Vine reported: “Detectives from Memphis police department are investigating the ‘strong possibility that death was a result of an overdose of drugs’.

"It has been said that he was a heavy user of cocaine for the past year.”

As the news of the King’s death swept the town, crowds began to gather outside the gates of his Graceland mansion. Radio stations scrapped their normal programmes and began playing Presley’s greatest hits on a loop in tribute.

Little by little more details about the circumstances of his death emerged.

“It was his road manager Joe Esposito who found Presley slumped in an upstairs back bedroom of the old colonial style house with its white columns and big gates,” the Daily Express reported.

“The legendary star showed no sign of breathing and there was no apparent heartbeat. The time was 2.30pm.”

It would later turn out however that the singer had been found by his girlfriend after having collapsed while on the toilet.

The King’s funeral was held at Graceland on Thursday, August 18.

Around 80,000 people lined the processional route to Forest Hill Cemetery, where he was buried next to his mother.

Speculation has raged ever since over the true cause of Presley’s death, with theories raging from a congenital heart condition or abuse of prescription drugs to a cocaine overdose and even problems associated with chronic constipation.

But in death, as in life, nothing could halt the Elvis bandwagon.

Within a few days of his expiry, his final single Way Down was topping the charts and over the next few years posthumously released singles by Presley were top ten hits in many markets worldwide.

Graceland remained a place of pilgrimage for his millions of fans and was opened to the public in 1982.

To this day it attracts more than half a million visitors annually, a total that makes it the second most-visited home in the United States after the White House.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2006.

Never has it been more appropriate to say: “The King is dead, long live the King”.

WHAT ELSE HAPPENED IN 1977?

January 3: Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak incorporate Apple Computer Inc, the company that goes on to launch the iMac, the iPhone and the iPad.

Today it has a market capitalisation of £375 billion.

The company had been founded on April 1 the previous year as a partnership between Jobs, Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, a colleague of Jobs at Atari.

Fearful of risking what assets he had, however, Wayne sold his stake back to the two Steves two weeks later for $800 (£490).

If he had held on to his share he would now be worth £37.5 billion.

Instead, now 80 and retired, Wayne lives in a mobile home park in Nevada.

March 27: The world’s deadliest ever aviation disaster occurs on Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

After a bomb goes off at the airport on the larger island of Gran Canaria, incoming traffic is diverted to Tenerife’s smaller Los Rodeos airport.

As more and more planes land there, air traffic control is forced to park some on one of the runways.

To make matters worse a dense fog descends. At one point a misunderstanding occurs and a KLM jumbo carrying 248 passengers accelerates down the runway and smashes into a parked Pan Am jumbo carrying 396 passengers.

Everyone on the KLM plane is killed and there are just 61 survivors from the wreckage of the PanAm 747, resulting in a death toll of 583.

May 25: The first Star Wars movie opens in cinemas, and gets such good word-of-mouth response that filmgoers are soon queuing round the block to see it.

So enduring was its appeal that it ran in some cinemas for nine months. It went on to gross £490 million and spawn six sequels.

September 10: The guillotine claims its last victim in France, a Tunisian convicted murderer called Hamida Djandoubi.

By now France was the last western European country to have the death penalty and during the presidential campaign of 1981 the Socialist Party candidate Francois Mitterrand declared his opposition to capital punishment.

Within five months of him taking office it had been abolished.

How to Live Stream on YouTube

In this article, we’ll show you how to live stream on YouTube using both your computer and your smartphone. Which means you too can start broadcasting live to your family, friends, and followers on YouTube.

From a live video call with a NASA astronaut to a gamer playing Minecraft in their bedroom, YouTube live streaming lets people share what’s happening in their life. But do you know how to live stream on YouTube?

Preparing for Your First Live Stream on YouTube

Before you can create a live stream on YouTube, you need to enable it for your channel. The procedure takes up to 24 hours, so think ahead and get your channel ready before you actually have something to stream. Once the feature is enabled, your streams will go live as soon as you create them.

Here’s what you need to do before you can dive into YouTube streaming.

1. Get Your YouTube Account Verified

You may have done this already to get the ability to upload videos longer than 15 minutes. If you haven’t yet, verifying your account is easy. All you need to do is:

1. Go to YouTube’s verification page.
2. Select your country and verification method (call or text).
3. Enter your phone number.
4. Click Submit.
5. Enter the 6-digit verification code you receive by text or via an automated call.
6. Hit Submit.

You’ll get a success message saying your account is now verified. That means you’re eligible to stream on YouTube, but you still need to enable live streaming. Here’s how you do that:

1. Click Continue under the verification success message. This will take you to the Status and Features tab of your YouTube channel’s Creator Studio.
2. Find Live streaming and click Enable.

You’ll get a confirmation screen saying that Live streaming will be enabled in 24 hours. Until then, the feature will appear On Hold.

2. Make Sure You Have No YouTube Live Stream Restrictions

YouTube broadcasting may be disabled even for a verified channel if the channel has violated YouTube guidelines in the past. Here are the restrictions that make you ineligible to stream live on YouTube:

• Your channel got a Community Guidelines strike. This could mean you violated YouTube’s Community Guidelines or rules of conduct. A strike limits your ability to run a YouTube Live broadcast for 90 days.
• A previous live stream on your channel has been blocked or taken down. If any stream on your channel has been blocked, taken down because of a copyright issue, or suspected to violate the copyright of another live stream, the feature may be unavailable to you.
• Your channel has offensive content. If more than a few videos on your channel were deemed offensive and had certain features disabled for them, you might not be able to live stream on YouTube.

In other words, if you haven’t ever been in trouble with YouTube, you should be good to go. However, if your channel has a history of getting warnings or complaints, you might be denied access to YouTube live broadcasting.

How to Live Stream on YouTube Using Your Computer

The easiest way to go live on your desktop computer is by using your webcam and browser. Just keep in mind that live streaming with a webcam is possible with Chrome version 60 or later and Firefox version 53 or later.

Once you have a compatible browser and a webcam, here’s how you create a YouTube broadcast on your computer:

1. Click on the camera-shaped Upload icon in the top right corner.
2. Select Go live from the dropdown menu.
3. You’ll likely get a pop-up in the upper left-hand corner with YouTube asking for access to your camera and microphone. Click Allow to grant access.

1. Select the Webcam tab at the top.
2. Enter the name for your live stream, choose the privacy setting, and switch on the Schedule for later toggle if you want the live stream to go out at a later time.
3. Click More options to add a description and category for your stream, as well as select the camera and microphone it will be using.
4. If you want to allow live chat, restrict the viewers’ age, or mark your video as a paid promotion, click Advanced settings.

1. From Advanced settings, go back to the previous screen and click Next to take a photo for the thumbnail. You’ll be able to retake the photo or upload one from your computer.
2. When you’re ready to go, click Go live.

1. Once you’re done with the stream, click End Stream and confirm you want to stop broadcasting.

After you finish live streaming, you’ll be prompted to edit the video in your Studio. It will now be available in your Studio under the Live tab.

How to Live Stream on YouTube Using Your Smartphone

First and foremost, your channel needs to have at least 1,000 subscribers for you to broadcast live on YouTube from your smartphone. If your YouTube channel meets that requirement, you can go ahead and start broadcasting.

Whether you’re using Android or iOS, here’s how to live stream on YouTube using your smartphone:

1. Open the YouTube app.
2. Tap on the Recording icon from the menu at the top.
3. Select Live from the options.
4. Give your live video a title, choose your privacy setting, and set your location.

1. Press More options to access more settings. Here you can add a description for the live stream and schedule it to go out at a certain time.
2. For advanced settings, tap Show more. Here you can set an age restriction, enable live chat, mark your live stream as a paid promotion, and enable monetization.
3. Go back to the initial settings and tap Next.
4. Take a photo for the thumbnail or upload one from your phone.
5. When you’re ready to stream, press Go live.
6. To end your live stream, tap Finish, and then OK.

After you’re done broadcasting, the live video will be saved to your channel. You’ll be able to change the privacy settings for the live video or delete it altogether later.

If you’re a power YouTuber and want to use a USB webcam or a camera module for broadcasting on the go, you can also live stream on YouTube using a Raspberry Pi, connected to a camera of your choice.

 

YouTube Live Streaming Offers Endless Possibilities

From sharing your experience at a music festival to hosting an “Ask Me Anything” session with your viewers, live streaming offers endless possibilities. And it’s fun too.

If you want to take your YouTube live streams to the next level you’ll need to invest in some equipment. So here’s a list of the gear you’ll need to build a low-cost YouTube studio. You might also want to consider getting one of these top ring lights to boost the look and feel of your video instantly. If you want to explore other platforms for live streaming, start with Mixer, a YouTube and Twitch alternative from Microsoft.

John Lennon Across The Universe

In 39 Pictures

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

On Oct. 9, 1940, John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England...

For many, his message of peace and love would come to define an entire generation of youth. His band, the Beatles, would go on to become the best-selling musical act in history, with estimated sales of over 1 billion units worldwide, 20 Billboard no. 1 singles, 10 Grammy Awards, an even an Academy Award. But aside from his profound talents, John Lennon was a father, a husband, and a dreamer...
