| Posted: 22 Jun 2021 12:20 PM PDT The team that put together the website MeetPositives.com realizes that everyone has a right to find love even those living with an STD. They also realize that unfortunately, there is a lot of stigmas attached to dating someone that has an STD. What many living with an STD might be surprised to learn is that they are by no means alone. This fact was never more evident than with some of the STD statistics that have been posted on the MeetPositives.com website. Once STD positives take a look at these statistics, they will quickly realize why a website such as MeetPositives.com not only works but also how it will provide them with a comfortable option to seek someone to spend the rest of their lives with. The above-mentioned statistics on the mettpositives.com website start with the fact that the CDC estimates that there are some 20 million people that contract one of the viruses that cause STDs every single year. That puts the possibility of getting an STD on par with that associated with most pandemics, albeit in a more hidden way because of the stigma associated with STDs. The most common types of sexually transmitted infections that people get in America each year are chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, syphilis, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus, and trichomoniasis. According to their website, about 50% of these infections occur in people from 15 – 24 which are some of the prime matchmaking years. Since not all of these viruses can be cured or eliminated promptly, that means as many as 110 million people can be experiencing the impact of STDs at any given time. Meetpositives.com CEO, Jack Lombardi, says, "Those that are living with an STD and have read the statistics that were just mentioned, now know that it's very possible to meet someone that is experiencing a similar situation as them. This is the best way to avoid what we call having 'the talk'. Something that every STD-positive person faces when they are dating and care about someone and want to come clean about the status of their health. Some of us here on staff can fully relate to being in this position and that's the driving force behind the creation of our website." Lombardi says that these statistics not only show that there are many people out there living with STDs but it's also possible to bring these people together. That's where their website comes into play. It has been designed to connect those living with STDs and give them their best shot at meeting and forming lasting relationships. He says their website does this through the use of advanced algorithms combined with a staff that's very knowledgeable in the field of online dating. This has led them to become the #1 STD dating website. He says that their system has helped thousands of STD-positive individuals find connections that have led to dates. They also have a nice 51% to 49% mix of men to women that use their website. This dating site's CEO said that no more proof is needed that their system works than the fact that hundreds of messages are exchanged each hour on their website. He also added the entire experience for their users was designed with comfort and feeling normal again in mind. This is something that other types of websites cannot begin to give to a person living with an STD. The CEO of meetpositives.com also mentioned that signing up with them for assistance meeting someone who is also living with an STD could not possibly be easier. All they have to do is go to the top of the meetpositives.com homepage and answer a few simple questions. This includes their sex, what the sex is of their preferred partner is, the age range of the person they are looking for, the type of STD they have, and their location. He says that the website will take over from there and guide a person through the rest of the matchmaking process. ### For more information about Meetpositives.com, contact the company here: Meetpositives.com |
| The Latest: 16 singles matches postponed at soggy Wimbledon - Minneapolis Star Tribune Posted: 28 Jun 2021 07:32 AM PDT  WIMBLEDON, England — The Latest on Wimbledon (all times local): ___ 9:55 p.m. Andy Murray's Wimbledon comeback is already generating plenty of drama. The 34-year-old Scotsman played his first match at the All England Club since 2017. And despite blowing a huge lead in the third set, he won. Murray beat No. 24-seeded Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3. Murray took a 5-0 lead in the third set but was broken serving for the match three consecutive times, and lost seven games in a row. He regained the upper hand in the seesaw match in the final set. Ranked 118th, Murray is mounting a comeback after two hip operations. He won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016. ___ 9:25 p.m. Eleven matches on Wimbledon's outer courts have been suspended because of darkness. Play continues under the lights and retractable roofs on Centre Court and Court 1. One suspended match between two qualifiers, Arthur Rinderknech of France and Oscar Otte of Germany, was at 9-all in the fifth set. Gael Monfils of France and Christopher O'Connell of Australia were tied at one set apiece and 6-all in the third. Some 21 matches were postponed after rain delayed the start of play on outer courts for more than four hours. ___ 7:25 p.m. American qualifier Denis Kudla rallied from a two-set deficit to win his opening match at Wimbledon. Kudla, a tour veteran ranked 114th, beat No. 30-seeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain. The score was 5-7, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-3. Kudla has had improbable success at Wimbledon before. He reached the fourth round in 2015 as a 105th-ranked wild card. Jannik Sinner, who was seeded 19th, lost to Marton Fucsovics of Hungary, 5-7, 6-3, 7-5, 6-3. ___ 6:50 p.m. Sofia Kenin advanced to the second round at Wimbledon by beating Xinyu Wang 6-4, 6-2. Kenin saved the only break point she faced. The 2020 Australian Open champion is seeded fourth. With one more win, the American will reach the third round at Wimbledon for the first time in her career. ___ 5:50 p.m. Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has been eliminated in the first round by American Sloane Stephens, 6-3, 6-4. Stephens, a former top 10 player now ranked 73rd, committed only 14 unforced errors. Her best showing at Wimbledon was in 2013, when she reached the quarterfinals. Kvitova was seeded 10th and won the tournament in 2011 and 2014. ___ 5:10 p.m. French Open runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas has been upset in the first round at Wimbledon by Frances Tiafoe of the United States. The 57th-ranked Tiafoe applied pressure by charging the net often and won 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. He had been 0-11 previously against players ranked in the top five. Tiafoe won 24 points at the net and saved all seven break points he faced. Tsitsipas was seeded third and had won more matches than any other player on the men's tour this year. He reached his first Grand Slam final at Roland Garros this month before squandering a two-set lead in the final against Novak Djokovic. Tsitsipas lost in the first round at Wimbledon for the third time in four appearances. ___ 4 p.m. Play is underway on the outer courts at Wimbledon after a rain delay of nearly five hours. Matches began as scheduled on the two courts with retractable roofs. Novak Djokovic overcame a wobbly start to beat 19-year-old British wild card Jack Draper in four sets. Because of a backlog in the schedule caused by the rain, 16 singles matches were postponed until Tuesday. ___ 3:45 p.m. Novak Djokovic overcame a wobbly start to win his opening match at Wimbledon. The two-time defending champion was 0 for 7 converting break points in the first set, which he lost to 19-year-old British wild card Jack Draper. Djokovic slipped several times on the grass but hit 25 aces and rallied to win 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2. Draper is ranked 253rd and was making his main-draw Grand Slam debut. Djokovic is seeking his sixth Wimbledon title and a record-tying 20th major title. He's halfway to sweeping the Grand Slams in 2021. The match was played under the retractable roof on Centre Court because of rain that delayed the start of play on outer courts. Capacity was limited to 50% because of the coronavirus pandemic but the crowd still gave both players enthusiastic support. ___ 3:25 p.m. Sixteen singles matches at Wimbledon were postponed until Tuesday because of rain, which has delayed the start of play on the outer courts. Six men's matches and 10 women's matches were called off. They included five-time champion Venus Williams against Mihaela Buzarnescu, and No. 10-seeded Denis Shapovalov against Philipp Kohlschreiber. Play is underway on Centre Court and Court 1, each of which has a retractable roof. ___ 2:25 p.m. No. 2-seeded Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus is this year's first winner at Wimbledon. She swept her opening match against qualifier Monica Niculescu, 6-1, 6-4. They played under the retractable roof on Court 1 while the start of matches on outside courts was delayed by rain. Sabalenka has won a tour-leading 30 matches this year and her seeding is her highest at a major tournament. She dominated from the start against Niculescu, who had so much trouble holding she even tried an underhand serve. ___ 1:40 p.m. Novak Djokovic was greeted on his return to Wimbledon by a standing ovation with the Centre Court crowd limited to 50% capacity because of the coronavirus pandemic. Djokovic won the tournament the last time it was held, in 2019, beating Roger Federer in an epic final. He is halfway to a Grand Slam in 2021, having won the Australian Open and the French Open. The No. 1-ranked Djokovic smiled as he entered the stadium. The retractable roof was closed because of rain that delayed the start of play on outer courts. Djokovic's opponent is British wild card Jack Draper. Djokovic has won seven of the past 12 major tournaments. ___ 12 p.m. There are queues again at Wimbledon as fans are allowed on the grounds at the All England Club for the first time in nearly two years. The dreary weather does not appear to be dampening anyone's enthusiasm as the grass-court Grand Slam tournament returns — even if rain is delaying the start of play until at least 12:30 p.m. Stands selling food, drinks and souvenirs are staffed and doing business right from the start. Fans wearing the required masks are waiting in line. Graduate student Hannah Scott calls the rainy, gray day "perfect spectator weather." Says Scott: "You're not going to burn in the sun." Wimbledon was canceled last year for the first time since World War II because of the coronavirus pandemic. It's going ahead this year but with a reduced capacity at the start. Organizers are planning to have full crowds of 15,000 at Centre Court for the women's and men's singles finals on July 10 and 11. ___ 11:30 a.m. Wimbledon already has its first rain delay of 2021. Play on the first morning of the grass-court tournament has been delayed at least until noon because of rain. ___ 11 a.m. Wimbledon is back and ready to start after being canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic. Novak Djokovic and Venus Williams are among those scheduled to play Monday. The sky is gray and rain is in the forecast. Spectators are allowed at 50% capacity around the All England Club. That will go up to 100% for the singles finals on July 10 and 11. While those are signs of a return to normalcy, a reminder that the coronavirus is still an issue came on the eve of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. The only seeded woman from Britain, 2017 Wimbledon semifinalist Johanna Konta, had to pull out of the draw Sunday night because a member of her team tested positive for COVID-19. Konta was in close contact with the person and must self-isolate for 10 days. All players and their team members are staying at a designated hotel in London in what the All England Club is calling a "minimized risk environment." ___ More AP tennis coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports |
| Preview: Can Roger Federer Get Rolling In Centre Court Return At Wimbledon? - ATP Tour Posted: 28 Jun 2021 03:35 PM PDT Eight-time former champion Roger Federer will make his highly anticipated return to Centre Court on Tuesday as he takes on Adrian Mannarino in the first round at Wimbledon. No man has won more titles at the All England Club than Federer, but the Swiss great could have his work cut out for him as he looks to kick his comeback into high gear at his favourite Grand Slam event. Federer, who was sidelined for much of the abbreviated 2020 season due to knee surgeries, has been struggling to regain his top form as he approaches his fifth tournament of the year. He's found himself in uncharted territory more than once, recording his first second-round loss at the NOVENTI OPEN in Halle and withdrawing from a Grand Slam for the first time at Roland Garros (w/o Berrettini). You May Also Like: Federer 'Feeling Mentally Strong' Ahead Of Wimbledon Start But the sixth seed reassured press that he is ready to fight for a record-extending ninth singles trophy at Wimbledon. He is determined to stay positive and not let any negativity get to him, as he said was the case in his Halle defeat (l. to Auger-Aliassime). "The good thing now, looking back, is I know it will not happen here because I'm ready, I'm excited, I'm pumped up. I know I can do so much better," Federer said. "I think I've got to take the positives out of these past few weeks, that I'm actually here at Wimbledon right now and I have a chance. "I know if I get rolling, I get into the second week – which is the goal here right now – that I get stronger and stronger as every match goes by. I believe it's very much possible."
Federer will face France's Mannarino in his opening match, which he will play second on Centre Court on Tuesday. The Swiss owns a 6-0 lead in their ATP Head2Head, and has only lost one set out of the 16 they've contested. The pair's last meeting took place here at Wimbledon; Federer will be hoping for another confidence-boosting win after beating the lefty 6-0, 7-5, 6-4 in 2018. World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev arrived at the All England Club with a brand new accolade to his resumé: his first tour-level grass-court title, after taking down Sam Querrey in the ATP 250 Mallorca Championships final. "I've always liked playing on grass. Four years ago, I would say that it was my favourite surface. But after my results on hard courts I couldn't say anything else other than hard courts, and I still like playing on hard courts more," Medvedev told press in Mallorca. "It was important for me to get these things like titles going, because we don't have a lot of tournaments [on this surface]... It's always a good feeling and it gives you a lot of confidence."
During his week in Mallorca, Medvedev got to enjoy some typical Spanish gazpacho as he tore through the draw only dropping one set. Now, he eyes another dish best served cold as he starts his Wimbledon campaign with his sights set on revenge against Jan-Lennard Struff, the player who knocked him out in the first round in Halle. Medvedev leads 3-1 in the ATP Head2Head against the big-serving German. He will have a bit of extra motivation this fortnight too; Medvedev could end the tournament as the new No. 1 player in the FedEx ATP Rankings, overtaking Novak Djokovic, though he would have to win his first Grand Slam title to do so. He could also rise to the top if he reaches the final and Djokovic does not. Also on tap on Day 2, another mouth-watering first round rematch pits Nick Kyrgios against 21st seed Ugo Humbert on Court 12. When these two met in Melbourne this year, they delighted Aussie fans with a marathon five-setter that went down to the wire, with Kyrgios upsetting the Frenchman 5-7, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(2), 6-4. But Humbert arrives on a hot streak after taking down Andrey Rublev in Halle to win his first ATP 500 title. The pair are even at one win apiece in their ATP Head2Head. Elsewhere at the All England Club, Zhang Zhizhen will take a historic step for China as the first man to contest the main draw at Wimbledon in the Open Era. The 24-year-old Shanghai-born qualifier, who goes by the nickname 'ZZZ' in the West, will take on Antoine Hoang on Court 6 as he makes his Grand Slam debut. Read More: Carrying The Weight Of National History, Zhang Says 'It's Just The Beginning' Fans of the one-handed backhand will also be in for a treat as Great Britain's Daniel Evans, the 22nd seed, faces 39-year-old Feliciano Lopez on No. 2 Court. Spanish lefty Lopez won their only previous meeting at the Australian Open in 2016, but Evans will surely enjoy the support of his home crowd. He also arrives with plenty of momentum after reaching back-to-back quarter-finals at an ATP Challenger Tour event in Nottingham and the cinch Championships at The Queen's Club. |
| GRANFALLOON Announces Forthcoming Album 'Positive Songs' - Broadway World Posted: 28 Jun 2021 08:00 AM PDT  The first single from Granfalloon's inspirationally collaborative 'Positive Songs' (released 28th August 2021), "Who You Are" sees Granfalloon offer a unique indie folk groove that solidifies the positive message of his 3rd album, with tranquil melodies and uplifting tones complimenting positive, narrative-driven songwriting. The track's vocals "embrace who you are" feel ever-more relevant as we return to the world to find ourselves, following the unexpected social hiatus of 2020. Both calming and inspiring, the track sows the seed for the forthcoming album with a hybrid of contemporary musical elements and traditional folk foundations. "Who You Are" is one of 11 tracks produced for 'The Positive Song Project', which was launched by Granfalloon during the first lockdown of 2020. It invited songwriters to create new music, challenging themselves to focus on positive aspects and feelings. So far, the project has resulted in the creation of over 300 tracks by artists from all over the world. Granfalloon AKA Richard Lomax explains.. "The idea formed from a conversation I was having with Lobelia Lawson, the co-founder of PSP about how a lot of inspiration for our songs comes from a place of introspection or melancholia, anger or pain. We thought we would challenge ourselves & other musicians to focus on positive songwriting. Maybe it began as a way of managing anxiety or as a refusal to let the cancellation of gigs completely take music away but it soon became this weird positive energy... this propulsive force which grew into something very special" The project grew from a self instigated challenge between two friends into a community of songwriters from around the globe (Guadalajara, Los Angeles, Helsinki, Melbourne, Amsterdam, Manchester, Birmingham, London, St Annes) and, as weeks went on, musicians got in touch with Lomax to collaborate on the songs he was writing each week - musicians including Adrian Ingham of Hello Cosmos, Maya McCourt (Salt Moon), Andy Lyth, Daz Woodcock, Thirds, Erika Schweighofer, Lobelia + Steve Lawson, and Elbow co-founder Richard Jupp. These collaborations find their place on the forthcoming album 'Positive Songs'. Granfalloon is the principal project of Richard Lomax, a Manchester-based songwriter and producer who has been constantly creating since 2003. Lomax came to music later than most after a scarcity of exposure in his home town. When he did, it felt like opening a door from a world of black and white to a universe bathed in a spectrum of memsmerising colour. Too late to take a traditional path of formal training, Lomax entered an avant-garde music course in the north of England, where he made his creative home. After cutting his teeth fronting surf rock bands and the anarchic folk collective Johnny5thWheel&thecowards, Lomax moved to Manchester in 2013 in search of the next step. Granfalloon was born after an operation in 2017 left Lomax with temporarily limited mobility. While in recovery, he recorded the debut Granfalloon album, Down There For Dancing, with drum machines, an Omnichord, and a guitar. The second album, RGB, was released in 2019. That year also saw Granfalloon perform as a full band at Bluedot Festival as well as touring the UK and Europe. The album's singles were championed by BBC Introducing and BBC 6 Music. Granfalloon was also named Artist of the Week by Qthemusic and Richer Sounds. Lomax has previously released two albums with Johnny5thWheel&thecowards. These included TalesOf through Sotones Records (Band Of Skulls/The Moulettes), described as "a work of genius" by Whisperin' & Hollerin' and "one of the finest folk-pop records of the year" by God Is In The TV. Both albums were critically acclaimed in many blogs and listed in several as top albums of the year. 2021 LIVE SHOWSFri 2nd July@The Dogan, Twitch LIVE STREAM Photo Credit: Paul Samuel |
