Mission Yearbook | Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
Congresswoman Sarah McBride (Photo: mcbride.house.gov) A sudden understanding came to Delaware’s newest member of Congress sitting in a pew on Christmas Eve at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware.
Sarah McBride, the child of a corporate lawyer — who was a teenage political activist and president of the American University student body — had always known she was a girl. Assigned male at birth, by the time she was a college junior, her life out of sync with her gender identity had become untenable.
Back at home with her parents, sitting in Wilmington, Delaware’s Westminster Presbyterian Church on Christmas Eve, hearing “O Holy Night,” she said to herself, “I cannot continue to miss this beauty,” and resolved to come out to her parents.
McBride’s autobiography, “Tomorrow Will Be Different,” is the story of her 20s, bracketed by two Presbyterian moments: the revelation at Westminster Presbyterian Church and the hymns sung at her husband Andy’s funeral a few years later. This youth elder is now Delaware’s sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives, the first openly transgender woman in Congress.
Born in 1990, McBride grew up with two brothers in a neighborhood of west Wilmington. She recalls dressing up as Cinderella with girl neighbors. Like Cinderella at midnight, time would elapse on her fancy dress, and she would have to return to life as a boy.
The family was active in Westminster, dad as a ruling elder, mom as a deacon, and Sarah herself in church musicals and the youth group.
Her parents were successful and politically active, and Sarah was a young politics-obsessive, writing, “Growing up, I personally knew more U.S. senators than transgender people.” Her parents hosted fundraisers for Gov. Jack Markell.
Despite believing in her parents — who had steadfastly supported one of her brothers when he came out as gay — Sarah lived in fear of disappointing them and her political family, and losing the trust of people like Markell, who would casually point to the governor’s desk and say, “when this is your chair.”During the spring semester, Sarah told close friends at American University that she was trans. On April 30, 2012, she posted a long note to Facebook coming out as trans, receiving support from posters on campus and immediate hugs from her frat brothers. The editor of the campus newspaper came over to her dorm to ask to run her note in the next edition, but with one request: “Cut it down to 600 words.”
In June 2012 she met Andy Cray, a lawyer with the LGBTQ+ advocacy portfolio inside the Center for American Progress. As a couple they navigated the routine 15-hour days of Sarah’s internship in the Obama White House Office of Public Engagement. In her memoir, Sarah relates the double bind of passing versus being read as trans inside the Office of Public Engagement — other staffers expressed surprise upon learning her identity, and this ironically tended to erase it.
Book cover (Publisher: Crown Archetype) McBride relates those struggles in part to illustrate her partner’s unwavering moral example. In one passage, Sarah is enraged by members of Congress who support regressive policies and legislation despite their being widely known as being LGBTQ+ themselves, wishing they could be outed. Andy stridently defends them, saying the good of unearthing mere hypocrisy isn’t equivalent to the harm of outing a person.
Sarah introduces her work with Equity Delaware in 2013 in terms of desperately wanting to move back to Delaware, and being terrified that the state lacked legal protections for trans people before the law. With support from Markell and Attorney General Beau Biden, Sarah and the Equity Delaware team lobbied the legislature to pass, back to back, a marriage equality act and civil protections for gender identity. SB 97 on gender identity protection passed and was signed by the governor on June 13, 2013.
The next year brought Andy’s cancer diagnosis, and struggle through treatment, remission and recurrence. The couple was married Aug. 24, 2014. Within the week, Andy had passed.
Inequitable treatment lingers for trans people even after death. In McBride’s retelling, finding a funeral home that would treat Andy in alignment with his gender identity was a struggle.
At his memorial service, those gathered sang “Here I Am, Lord” — “a Presbyterian hymn that Andy and I both discovered a year before had been our favorite hymn growing up as active members of our local Presbyterian churches.”

Fußball | 1.FC Heidenheim: Borussia Dortmund kommt: Marvin Pieringer und die Mission Klassenerhalt
Nach zwei Niederlagen in Serie steht der 1.FC Heidenheim weiterhin im Tabellenkeller der Bundesliga. Gegen Dortmund wollen die Schwaben punkten.
Rückblende: Es war der 13. September letzten Jahres, ein fußballhistorischer Tag für den 1.FC Heidenheim. Die Schwaben fuhren nach den beiden Auftaktsiegen gegen Augsburg und St.Pauli erstmals in ihrer Geschichte als stolzer Bundesliga-Tabellenführer zu einem Auswärtsspiel. Der Erste Heidenheim beim Vierten Borussia Dortmund, die Top-Partie des damaligen dritten Spieltags. Der FCH schlug sich wacker, verlor zwar mit 2:4 vor den 80.000 Zuschauern in der Dortmunder Arena, begeisterte aber die Massen mit flottem Fußball.
Zwischen Dortmund und Dortmund: Heidenheim von Platz eins auf Platz 16
Vier Monate später, vor dem Rückspiel an diesem Samstag (15.30 Uhr) in Heidenheim, ist von den tabellarischen Hochgefühlen wenig übrig. Und zwar auf beiden Seiten. Der FCH ist seither auf Relegationsplatz 16 abgerutscht, der einstige Titelaspirant Dortmund dümpelt auf Rang elf und hat sich vergangene Woche vom glücklosen Neu-Trainer Nuri Sahin schon wieder getrennt.
Wohin also des Wegs, FCH? “Das Ziel ist der Klassenerhalt, und das werden wir auch schaffen”, ist Marvin Pieringer im Gespräch mit SWR Sport überzeugt. Der 25-jährige Stürmer, einer der beiden Heidenheimer Torschützen beim Hinspiel in Dortmund, setzt trotz der verzwickten Lage auf dem Schlossberg auf die Ruhe im Umfeld des Vereins und den nach wie vor völlig intakten Teamgeist: “Wir waren und sind immer ganz nah beeinander, können uns in die Augen schauen und ehrlich miteinander umgehen”, beschreibt “Pieri”, wie er genannt wird, das mannschaftliche Binnenverhältnis, “das müssen wir weiter beibehalten”.
Nächste Kehrtwende nach zuletzt zwei Niederlagen?
Nach der langen Niederlagenserie vor Weihnachten war der Start ins neue Jahr zunächst bestens geglückt: Dem 2:0 daheim gegen Union Berlin folgte das Last-Minute-3:3 in Bremen, der 1.FC Heidenheim wähnte sich 2025 wieder auf gutem Weg. Doch dann folgten die beiden bösen Rückschläge gegen St.Pauli (0:2) und in Augsburg (1:2). Die sportliche Situation ist weiterhin ernst, sehr ernst. Zumal zuletzt die Kellerkonkurrenz immer wieder eifrig punktete.
Marvin Pieringer und Marco Fritz Studiogäste bei SWR Sport am Sonntag
Torjäger Marvin Pieringer ist am kommenden Sonntag (02.02) ab 21.45 Uhr Studiogast bei SWR Sport. Der 25-jährige gebürtige Bad Uracher wurde fußballerisch beim SSV Reutlingen groß und kam über die Stationen SC Freiburg II, Schalke 04, Kickers Würzburg und SC Paderborn im Sommer 2023 zum damaligen Bundesliga-Aufsteiger 1.FC Heidenheim.
Beim FCH etablierte sich Pieringer als laufstarker und torgefährlicher Angreifer und ist aktuell mit vier Treffern und drei Vorlagen der Topscorer der Schwaben in der laufenden Bundesliga-Saison.
Neben Marvin Pieringer ist auch Ex-FIFA-Schiedsrichter Marco Fritz zu Gast bei Moderator Michael Antwerpes. Fritz ist seit 1. Januar leitendes Mitglied der Schiri GmbH des DFB und berichtet über die ersten Erkenntnisse des Piloptrojekts rund um den VAR, die Schiedsrichter-Erklärungen per Stadionmikrofon.Und so hilft in Heidenheim nur die nächste Kehrtwende wieder hin zum Positiven. Und dabei soll und will auch Marvin Pieringer kräftig mithelfen. Am besten gleich gegen die ruhmreiche Borussia aus Dortmund: “Es ist immer schön, wenn so große Vereine zu uns nach Hause kommen”, sagt Pieringer, “Dortmund macht auch gerade eine schwierige Phase durch. Deshalb müssen wir uns nicht verstecken und wollen den Heimsieg einfahren”.
Der FCH steht aktuell mit nur 14 Zählern aus 19 Spielen da, bis zum Nichtabstiegsplatz sind es bereits vier Zähler. Nun “müssen wir auch mal anfangen, in einem Spiel zu punkten, wo man es nicht unbedingt erwartet”, fordert auch Trainer Frank Schmidt, der in der Unruhe in Dortmund in den vergangenen Tagen keinen direkten Vorteil für seine Mannschaft sieht. Beim BVB sitzt am Samstag noch Mike Tullberg auf der Bank, ehe Niko Kovac das Traineramt am Sonntag übernimmt.
Marvin Pieringer ist der Topscorer der Heidenheimer
Mit vier Treffern und drei Vorlagen ist der großgewachsene Stürmer der Topscorer der Heidenheimer in der laufenden Bundesliga-Saison. Marvin Pieringers letztes Tor liegt indes auch schon wieder einige Wochen zurück: Am 10. November traf der frühere Reutlinger bei der Heimniederlage gegen Wolfsburg. Danach wurde er mehrere Spiele wegen einer Verletzung ausgebremst.
Auch deshalb und um eine hochkarätige Alternative zu schaffen, legte der FCH in der Winterpause im Sturm noch einmal nach, holte Karlsruhes Torschützenkönig Budu Zivzivadze als zusätzlichen Stoßstürmer ins Brenztal. Marvin Pieringer rückte daraufhin wieder eine Position zurück als zweite, eher hängende Spitze. Wie schon in der vergangenen, so erfolgreichen Saison hinter dem wuchtigen Tim Kleindienst, der inzwischen für Borussia Mönchengladbach Tor um Tor schießt und beim FCH als Goalgetter schmerzlich vermisst wird.
Marvin Pieringers Wunsch für die Rest-Rückrunde: “So viele Siege wie möglich einfahren und wieder die Leistung bringen, die wir zu Beginn der Saison hatten”. Damals im September, als der FCH nach zwei Siegen aus zwei Spielen als Tabellenführer nach Dortmund gefahren ist. Eine schöne Erinnerung, mehr aber auch nicht: “Wir wissen um was es geht”, so Pieringer, “jetzt heißt es Punkte sammeln”.
Der 1. FC Heidenheim steht vor einer schweren Aufgabe, denn am kommenden Spieltag erwartet sie der Bundesliga-Spitzenreiter Borussia Dortmund. Für die Mannschaft um Trainer Frank Schmidt geht es dabei um nicht weniger als die Mission Klassenerhalt.Ein Spieler, der dabei eine wichtige Rolle spielen könnte, ist Marvin Pieringer. Der Stürmer hat in dieser Saison bereits mehrere wichtige Tore für Heidenheim erzielt und wird auch gegen Dortmund wieder gefordert sein. Mit seiner Schnelligkeit und seinem Torinstinkt könnte er für die entscheidenden Momente im Spiel sorgen.
Die Fans des 1. FC Heidenheim sind gespannt, ob ihre Mannschaft gegen den Favoriten aus Dortmund bestehen kann und hoffen auf einen erfolgreichen Ausgang. Es wird ein spannendes Spiel erwartet, bei dem die Heidenheimer alles geben werden, um ihre Mission Klassenerhalt voranzutreiben.

#Mission #Hurricane #Clues #Doublecross #Book #Hardcover #GOOD,ages 3+YouTube Gold: Mission Possible – Blocking The Skyhook
A while back we saw a YouTube video that discussed how difficult it was to block Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s signature move, the Skyhook, and it said only two or three people had ever done it, with Wilt Chamberlain and Bill “Poodles” Willoughby among them.
The problem is, we keep finding more video evidence of other players who pulled this off.
This video is as comprehensive as we have seen. The Chamberlain blocks are on here of course, but there are others that we hadn’t seen before.
Ralph Sampson got one, and he got it the hard way, at or near the peak of the shot.
Boston Celtic Robert Parish got one too and the Willoughby block is here too (what makes his so striking is that, unlike the other guys here, who are all quite tall, Willoughby was just 6-8).
Bill Walton got one from behind. Hakeem Olajuwon blocked one as well.
Nate Thurmond got one as well and, most strikingly, so did Manute Bol (look how far away from Kareem he is and think about that for a minute – OMG).
Finally we see Chamberlain get a pair during Kareem’s rookie season.
Still, it’s an elite list. As far as we can determine, only eight guys ever did it. The oddball on the list is Willoughby. Everyone else is at least 6-11.
Willoughby, who was a half-foot shorter than Kareem, was one of the first guys to go to the NBA directly out of high school, in his case in 1975. Moses Malone went to the ABA in 1974 but didn’t get to the NBA for a couple of years when the ABA-NBA merged, and Darryl Dawkins was also drafted in 1975, but he was a first round pick. Willoughby went in the second.
If you’re a fan of YouTube basketball highlights, then you won’t want to miss this epic video: Mission Possible – Blocking The Skyhook. In this thrilling compilation, you’ll witness some of the most impressive and jaw-dropping blocks on the infamous skyhook shot.From iconic players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to modern-day stars like Anthony Davis, these defenders showcase their incredible athleticism and timing as they rise up to swat away the skyhook attempt. Whether it’s a one-handed rejection or a full-on chase-down block, these defensive gems will leave you in awe.
So grab your popcorn and get ready to witness some YouTube gold as these defenders make the impossible possible by blocking the skyhook. Don’t miss out on this must-see video that will have you hitting the replay button over and over again.
Watch now and see why blocking the skyhook is truly a Mission Possible.

DAR ES SALAAM, January 25, 2025 – African heads of state, business leaders, and development partners will converge tomorrow in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for the Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit where they will commit to ambitious reforms and actions to expand access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity to 300 million people in Africa by 2030.
Mission 300 is an unprecedented collaboration between the African Development Bank, the World Bank Group, and global partners to address Africa’s electricity access gap using new technology and innovative financing. Nearly 600 million Africans lack electricity, which is crucial for development and job creation.
Several heads of state and government from Africa will join more than 1,000 other participants—with strong representation from the private sector—at the January 27-28 summit. Together, they will chart Africa’s course toward universal access to energy.
This week’s summit is expected to yield two significant outcomes: the Dar es Salaam Energy Declaration, outlining commitments and practical actions from African governments to reform the energy sector, and the first set of National Energy Compacts, which will serve as blueprints with country-specific targets and timelines for implementation of critical reforms.
In the first phase, 12 countries will present their energy compacts: Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, and Zambia. Other African countries are expected to develop their compacts in subsequent phases.
The partnerships forged and commitments made by the continent’s leaders and changemakers gathering in Dar es Salaam this week will shape the continent’s journey toward achieving universal energy access, transforming millions of lives, and driving sustainable development and job creation.

The first trailer for Zero Day, starring Robert De Niro, has arrived – and it looks like an epic political thriller.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, De Niro plays former U.S. President George Mullen who is tasked by the current U.S. president (Angela Bassett) with finding the perpetrators of a devastating cyber attack that killed over 3,000 people.
It’s far from easy, especially given that the public seems to view him as an enemy – not to mention the fact that another attack could happen at any given moment. “If the public finds out how deep this really is,” Bassett says, “I don’t think we really survive that.”
Per the official synopsis, “As disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambition of power brokers in technology, Wall Street, and government collide, Mullen’s unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets while risking all he holds dear.”
The series is co-created and co-written by Eric Newman, who served as the showrunner of the Netflix series Narcos and its spin-off Narcos: Mexico. The cast includes Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, McKinley Belcher III, Matthew Modine, Clark Gregg, and Gaby Hoffman. Zero Day also marks De Niro’s second-ever television role as a series regular, with the first being the Argentine limited series Nada, which aired exclusively on Disney Plus.
All six episodes of Zero Day are set to hit Netflix on February 20. For more, check out our list of the best Netflix shows and the best Netflix movies to stream right now.
Legendary actor Robert De Niro is making his comeback to the small screen in a big way with his new Netflix thriller series, “Mission: Save the World.” In the first trailer released today, we see De Niro in the role of a former president who is on a mission to save the world from a global threat.From the mind of acclaimed Narcos showrunner, this epic new series promises to be a thrilling ride filled with action, suspense, and political intrigue. De Niro’s character is a man of power and influence, but he is also a man with a dark past and a personal vendetta that drives him to take on this dangerous mission.
As the trailer unfolds, we see De Niro’s character assembling a team of skilled operatives and navigating through a web of conspiracy and deception to uncover the truth behind the impending catastrophe. With his signature intensity and gravitas, De Niro brings a commanding presence to the screen, promising a performance that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
“Mission: Save the World” is set to be a must-watch series for fans of political thrillers and action-packed dramas. Stay tuned for its premiere on Netflix and get ready to join De Niro on his mission to save the world.
