An unlikely, and highly comic, couple: Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen, in 'Long Shot'
By Ty Burr Globe Staff,May 1, 2019, 5:10 p.m.
Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron in "Long Shot."(Lionsgate)
The current conventional wisdom — conventional because it's true — is that women candidates for public office struggle under an absurd double standard of expectations. If they show passion, they're too emotional; if they play it cool, they're robots. If they raise their voices, they're shrill; if they stick to policy, they're grinds. To add further insult, when they're refracted though popular culture, the focus is often more on their personal lives than if the character were male. A randy rom-com about a female presidential candidate? Sounds exactly like what we don't need at this point in time.
To further complicate matters, "Long Shot" is awfully funny when it's not being completely preposterous — and sometimes even when it is.
We, the paying audience, are asked to believe that Charlotte Field, a supremely capable US secretary of state played by Charlize Theron, would fall in love and lust with Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen), an alt-weekly journalist who looks like a disastrously unmade bed and talks like, well, Seth Rogen. Odd couples are a staple of real life; what two people can discover in each other is often a mystery that remains delightfully unknown to the outside world. And odd couples in the movies can work, too, provided the oddities interlock enough for audiences to suspend disbelief.
That said, you may need a set of industrial-strength bungee cords to suspend your disbelief for "Long Shot," because Hepburn and Tracy this ain't. It's not that Theron and Rogen don't play sweetly and well off each other; they do. It's that the movie's foundational joke, that a twosome this radically mismatched somehow belong together, never quite squares. If you can squint past that, you stand to enjoy the movie. I did, mostly.
Written by Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah and directed by Jonathan Levine ("Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates"), "Long Shot" takes place while Secretary Field is jetting around the world trying to sign up heads of state for her global climate change initiative (its working title: "Bees, Trees, and Seas"). Under the radar she's prepping to announce a presidential bid and has hired Fred, an old acquaintance newly re-encountered, to loosen up her image with humor and zeal. This against the advice of her frosty chief aide, Maggie (June Diane Raphael, turning a pig's ear of a part into quite the silk purse).
The president (Bob Odenkirk) is a boob who was seemingly elected because he once played the president on TV, not like that could happen (*cough* the Ukraine *cough*) and there's a creepy right-wing media baron (Andy Serkis under heavy makeup as a troll-size version of Rupert Murdoch) who either wants to bed Charlotte or destroy her. As Fred's encouraging best friend, Lance, O'Shea Jackson Jr. comes further out from the shadow of his father, a.k.a. Ice Cube. Plus there's a handsome Canadian prime minister (Alexander Skarsgard, blissfully game) who the tabloids want Charlotte to marry already but whom she knows has the charm of particle board.
What draws her, then, to Fred, especially after he has humiliated himself repeatedly and publicly with random acts of maladroit slapstick? To go with "Long Shot," you have to believe that Charlotte is chafing under all that civic duty and yearning to let her freak flag fly — that at the end of the day she wants nothing more than a few laughs, a little rough sex, and maybe a trip to a European nightclub to drop some Molly. Which, granted, leads to a pretty priceless scene in which the tripping secretary of state has to talk a fractious Third World leader down from an international crisis while an entire situation room looks on.
For the most part, the dialogue is crude but cleverly so; the jokes are crass, but they land. And the leads convince us their characters believe they're meant for each other even if we don't. Rogen is always a sharper performer than his public persona admits, and Theron works to show us that the two sides of Charlotte Field — steely world leader and good-time Charlie — belong on the same coin. The final act of "Long Shot" hops the rail entirely with several developments (viral videos, public confessions, precious bodily fluids) that push the movie even further into some kind of demented wish-fulfillment fantasy. But I guess if you look out at the current political reality and decide this looks like an improvement, no one's going to blame you.

Shaquille O'Neal Embarrassed Himself in a Room With 2 Basketball Legends and It Was Caught on Live Television
by Ashish Mathur twitter linkedin | More Articles: NBA
Shaquille O'Neal is one of the best players in NBA history and has racked up generational money. He's one of the most famous people in the world and beloved in most basketball circles.
However, everyone in life has several embarrassing moments, and O'Neal recently had one in a room with two basketball legends in it. To make matters even worse, the scene was caught on national television.
Shaquille O'Neal won four NBA titles
During his Hall of Fame career, O'Neal won four NBA championships and three Finals MVPs. His first three titles came with the Los Angeles Lakers, while his final one was with the Miami Heat.
During his prime with the Orlando Magic and Lakers, O'Neal was unstoppable in the post. He's universally recognized as the most dominant player in NBA history due to his size and strength. The 1992 first-round pick won the 1999-00 MVP Award. He was also a two-time scoring champion.
In 1,207 games with the Magic, Lakers, Heat, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Boston Celtics, O'Neal averaged 23.7 points and 10.9 rebounds while shooting 58.2% from the field. He has the fourth-highest PER in NBA history, trailing only Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis.
Since retiring from the NBA in 2011, O'Neal has carved out a successful career at TNT as an NBA analyst. While some of his takes are controversial, he's must-see TV since he's funny and not shy to showcase his exuberant personality.
However, when you're a jokester like O'Neal, sometimes you become the butt of the joke.
Shaquille O'Neal got caught with a booger in his nose on live TV
O'Neal embarrassed himself on national television by getting caught with a booger in his nose. Basketball legends Candace Parker and Dwyane Wade lost it when they realized he had a booger hanging from his nose but didn't notice during the show.
The best part about the show was when O'Neal pulled his phone out and removed the booger while the camera filmed him. Parker and Wade couldn't stop laughing and had a lot of fun at Shaq's expense.
This isn't the first and certainly won't be the last time O'Neal gets embarrassed on live TV. The reason he's one of the funniest media personalities in the NBA is that he's not timid about showing off his goofy and clumsy side.
While some basketball fans get tired of O'Neal ripping today's big men, particularly Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, he's a major reason why NBA on TNT has high ratings.
Shaq will never stop making fun of Charles Barkley for being ringless
Shaquille O'Neal Loaned a 4-Time NBA Champion $70,000 and Didn't Ask For It Back
O'Neal and Charles Barkley are a hilarious duo on TNT since they always throw jabs at each other. The Diesel will never stop making fun of Chuck for being ringless.
Seemingly every week on NBA on TNT, O'Neal and Barkley argue about something in the league, and it usually ends with the former making fun of the latter for never winning a title during his career. Their humorous rapport makes basketball fans always laugh whenever they watch Inside the NBA.
Barkley was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006, while O'Neal made it in 2016. They are two of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA.

CUOMO'S DRINKING WATER COUNCIL
Governor Cuomo Announces Appointees to Drinking Water Quality Council to Safeguard New York Drinking Water Supplies
Council Will Address Wide Array of Emerging Water Quality Issues
Recommendations to Establish Maximum Contaminant Levels for PFOA, PFOS, 1,4-dioxane will be Council's First Task
Council's First Meeting to be Held on October 2 on Long Island with Second Meeting in Capital Region Later This Year
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo recently announced his appointees to the 12-member Drinking Water Quality Council that will guide New York's actions to ensure all communities across the state, regardless of their size, have access to clean drinking water. The Council will address a wide range of emerging water quality issues, and solicit outside industry experts to complement the expertise of council members where appropriate.
The Council's first task will be to make recommendations to establish enforceable Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for three priority emerging contaminants—unregulated by the federal government—that have been found in New York: perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), and 1,4-dioxane. The Council will meet for the first time on October 2 at 10 a.m. at SUNY Stony Brook in Stony Brook, NY, with a second meeting in the Capital Region later this year.
"New York is once again stepping up as the federal government continues to ignore its duty to provide clear guidance to protect drinking water quality," Governor Cuomo said. "Using the best available science, and tapping an array of experts, this new Council will provide science-based recommendations for the development of regulations to assure that good quality drinking water remains available to all New Yorkers. Water quality is a national issue that requires consistent national standards, but New York can no longer afford to wait."
Enacted as part of the FY2018 Budget, the Council will identify strategies to protect the quality of New York's drinking water from emerging, federally-unregulated contaminants. While the budget required water systems to test for PFOA, PFOS, and 1,4 dioxane, it will be the Council's duty to review the science on these chemicals and provide guidance to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) on setting MCLs for these contaminants. MCLs are the drinking water standards set forth in the state sanitary code that water systems must achieve to be in compliance with regulations.
The Council will also make recommendations to the NYSDOH on the following actions:
appropriate timeframes and frequencies for testing emerging contaminants;
best practices for public notifications in the event an emerging contaminant is found above a notification level in drinking water; and
whether and when to remove contaminants from an emerging contaminants list.
The 12-member Council will be chaired by New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker and include State Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos, with six other individuals appointed by the Governor for their expertise in water operations, risk assessment, microbiology, and environmental engineering. The Council's final four members were appointed by the Governor at the recommendation of the Temporary President of the Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly. These members include water operations representatives and representatives of the public who have a background or expertise in toxicology or health risk assessment.
The Governor's appointees are:
New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, MD (Designee: Brad Hutton, Deputy Commissioner, Office of Public Health)
New York State Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos (Designee: Ken Lynch, Executive Deputy Commissioner)
Dr. Roger Sokol, PhD, Director, Division of Environmental Health Protection, Center for Environmental Health, New York State Department of Health
Scott Stoner, Chief, Standards and Water Quality Assessment Section, Division of Water, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
Stanley J. Carey, Massapequa Water District Superintendent, Long Island Water Conference Chairman
Dr. Joseph H. Graziano, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health Professor, Environmental Health Sciences and Pharmacology
Dr. Sandra Nierzwicki-Bauer, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Darrin Fresh Water Institute Associate Director and Professor
Dr. Harold Walker, Stony Brook University Department of Civil Engineering Professor and Chair, Stony Brook Center for Clean Water Technology Co-Director
Senate and Assembly appointees are:
Sarah Jocelyn Meyland, J.D., Associate Professor, New York Institute of Technology
Steven Schindler, Director, Water Quality: NYC Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Water Supply
Kris Dimmick, P.E., PWLF, Professional Engineer, BCA Engineers & Architects
Paul Granger, P.E., Superintendent, Port Washington Water District
NYS Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan said, "The Drinking Water Quality Council will be a crucial tool to help ensure New Yorkers maintain access to clean and safe drinking water. Kris Dimmick and Paul Granger, the State Senate's two appointments to the Council, will certainly add valuable knowledge and experience on this overall issue. The formation of the Council builds upon the historic investment of $2.5 billion, advocated by Senate Republicans and approved in the state budget, for clean water projects throughout the state."
NYS Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said, "The Assembly Majority strongly supports proactive measures that ensure New Yorkers have access to the highest quality drinking water. By establishing the Drinking Water Quality Council, we can be confident that New York's most qualified experts will have a hand in protecting one of our most precious natural resources and safeguarding public health."
State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said, "Clean drinking water is essential to good health. The Drinking Water Quality Council is going to provide important guidance to the Department that will increase the effectiveness of our efforts to protect the quality of New York's drinking water supply. I am delighted to be serving as the chairman of this important body and am grateful to Governor Cuomo for assembling this distinguished panel of experts."
DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said, "Securing the safety of our water resources is central to protecting the quality of life of all New Yorkers." "By establishing the Drinking Water Quality Council, Governor Cuomo is solidifying his national leadership in addressing water contamination and developing strong standards in absence of federal action. DEC staff look forward working with the other council members to quickly develop the needed solutions."
NYS Senate Health Committee Chairman Kemp Hannon said, "The Drinking Water Quality Council brings together key stakeholders to identify and protect New Yorkers from the unregulated contaminants that threaten drinking water quality in New York State. The Senate applauds this measure, which will protect public health and help ensure that New York maintains access to clean drinking water for generations to come."
NYS Senate Environmental Conservation Committee Chairman Thomas O' Mara said, "The work of the Water Quality Council is a critical step toward ensuring the effectiveness and timeliness of New York State's short- and long-term response to the fundamental challenge of clean water. The Senate looks forward to working with Governor Cuomo and the Assembly to achieve a water quality future across New York that is second to none."
NYS Assembly Health Committee Chairman Richard Gottfried said, "From Long Island to Buffalo, New Yorkers should feel confident that the state is committed to ensuring the best quality drinking water no matter where you live. The Drinking Water Quality Council will conduct a careful review and develop a comprehensive action plan to safeguard our most precious natural resource."
NYS Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee Chairman Steve Englebright said, "These superb appointments of qualified scientists will help the legislature and governor of NY to develop new policy and new law to help meet the challenge of protecting ground and surface drinking water, and the public's health."
The Council will meet:
October 2 at 10 a.m.
SUNY Stony Brook, Charles B. Wang Center
100 Nicolls Road, Stony Brook, NY.
All meetings will be open to the public, webcast, and subject to Open Meetings Law. Members of the public will have an opportunity to make public comment, and the council will be required to receive public and stakeholder comments before advancing recommendations to the NYSDOH.

Croatians Party Like Rock Stars
Mike Cardillo
Filed to: Euro 08Filed to: Euro 08
Euro 08 Closer
I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me
If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double
Hey little girl, keep your hands off me 'cause I'm a rocker – Thin Lizzy, 'The Rocker'
Dear Barclay's Premier League mid-table club owners —
Please find a way to sign Croatian coach Slaven Bilic as soon as Euro 2008 finishes. He might wear an earring on the touchline, but don't let that scare you away from spending your hard-earned British Pounds on the 39-year-old.
Yes, he might play in a metal band, but he also holds a Law degree.
More important, he beat the England National Team twice in qualification, including a 3-2 stunner at Wembley Stadium. (Okay, most primates could outwit Steve McClaren, but still.)
As a neutral American observer from across the pond, having Bilic rocking on the sidelines will make me more willing to watch your club play. And if you give Bilic the time to learn English better, imagine what it will do for his song-writing career. Imagine the depth and introspection.
So want your supporters to get excited when inevitably they'll finish somewhere between eighth and 12th in the table? Get Bilic to sign on the dotted line and at worst he writes a thrashing jam about it.
You'll thank me later.
Rock on,
Thursday, metal man Bilic led the Speed of Sound Tour, err, the Croatian National Team to an impressive 2-1 victory over the hated Germans in Klagenfurt, Austria. The sound and fury of the men in the checkers, coached by the Rawbau guitarist, left German coach Joachim Löw and his emo-styled bangs shaking their heads in bewilderment.
It's doubtful we've seen the Germans with so much self-doubt and confusion since the days of the Wiemar Republic. After declaring themselves as serious tournament favorites in their opening win over Poland, the Germans are left needing a victory over Austria, which drew Poland 1-1 via penalty kick in extra time, next week to advance.
Yeah, Lucas Podolski snatched a late goal to make it 2-1, but the fury you expected from the Germans in the final 10 minutes never arose, aside from Bastian Schweinsteiger drawing a mindless red card for retaliating after a tackle.
For today though, let's spread the praises of the Croats. The first goal scored by Darijo Srna was the result of about 15 passes strung together to bring the ball up the field, triggering a James Hetfield-style, "Ye-awh" from Bilic.
The second was the result when Hasselhoff, err, Jens Lehmann made a minor fumble, allowing Ivica Olic to clean up the mess.
The Croats are a good mix of grool hard-men like the Kovacs, and the skilled attackers of Modric and Kranjcar (who blew two clear chances to make it 2-0). Plus, they place their hands over their hearts during the national anthem. (See, they're just like us!)
Everything goes back to Bilic, who seems to have a glint of Jose Mourinho in him even if he doesn't fancy expensive man-scarves, which he more than makes up for with the brazen earring. Bilic appears to be channeling the playbook of Jürgen Klinsmann from the 2006 World Cup, where a youthful coach inspired a young-ish team and celebrated right there with them. It's doubtful that Klinsmann wrote and recorded the German song for the tournament, like Bilic did for the Euro –Vatero Ludilo (Fiery Madness).
Although he fined a couple players for sneaking out to a Zagreb disco ahead of a qualifier, it wouldn't be shocking if Bilic was caught with the fans ripping cigs, shotgunning warm pils and partying like a rock star after Thursday's win in Klagenfurt. For one night at least, Croatia (Hrvat!!!) earned it for winning Group B and, more important, neutering the Germans worse than Clemenceau and the boys at the Treaty of Versailles.
Just remember, you can't exactly dust for vomit … and there are still four more games – if you're lucky – to go.
Thursday's heroes: Danijel Pranjic, Croatia. Hard to single-out one Croat on a day they made Germany look like Austria in disguise, but Pranjic came from left back and eviscerated the pairing of Philip Lahm and Clemens Fritz, forcing Germany to changed things up in the second half. His cross set up Darijo Srna's goal.
Ivica Vastić, Austria. The 39-year-old Croatian born substitute drilled a 92nd minute penalty kick as coolly as you can, keeping hope alive for Austria. He also earns a lifetime supply of beer from Austrian brewer Ottakringer Brauerei, which is nice.
Artur Boruc, Poland. The new papa came up huge in the first 20 minutes, turning away numerous Austrian shots, as the co-hosts shot out of the gates. I'm not going to hold it against him that he gave up a late penalty kick; guess he's no Brad Friedel. (Also more importantly, Boruc has the one Polish name that is easy to spell.)
Der German ödd couple: Christoph Meltzelder and Philip Lahm. Meltzelder is a giant, rocking one of the only full beards in the tournament. Lahm is might have been a body-double for Verne Troyer in that dreadful new Mike Myers flick.
Angry, a little?: The most bizarre exchange during ESPN's coverage had to come from Rob Stone, a perceived soccer-guy. After Andy Gray said there was no such thing as an ugly goal, Stone came out of leftfield with this one at halftime of Austria/Poland, "Is there such thing as an ugly prom date? (restrained laughs at the desk)…there is." You could hear Julie Foudy groan, but Stone wasn't done. "Hey, she deserves it, but not enough." Guess someone didn't have such an enchanted evening. Good thing it's hard to imagine Stone's prom date was actually watching him host "Euro Today."
Friday (Group C)
It's a shame these games are both Friday noon-ish, because they're the most intriguing of the next three days.
Italy v. Romania, Pro Letzigrund, Zurich, Switzerland (11:50 a.m., ESPN2): Italy was flat-out putrid vs. the Netherlands on Monday while Romania played a rigid, defensive game against France taking one shot in the process. The Azzuri should tinker with the lineup, while Romania is going to have show a little attacking impetus, though they could conceivably take the draw seeing they play the Dutch last and beat them twice in qualification. Maybe the biggest question is if Italy can get any spark from its midfield.
Player to watch: Andrea Pirlo, Italy. If you get the Universal HD channel, they're been running the 2006 World Cup film. It's stunning to watch in HD. You forgot how great Pirlo was in that tournament pulling the strings in the midfield and creating danger from freekicks. He's only 29 and needs to channel his 2006/07 form to cut through the yellow-clad Romanian midfield.
Score guess: Italy 1, Romania 0
Netherlands v. France, Wankdorf Stadion, Berne, Switzerland: (2:30 p.m., ESPN2): Absolutely intriguing match-up because of what transpired on Monday. The Dutch blitzed Italy 3-0, while France slept-walk to a 0-0 draw with Romania. It's impossible to think the Dutch can play as good as they did and will surely be tested by a desperate France side that will be forced to take it out of first-gear. This will probably come down to coaching, as in whether Marco van Basten or Raymond Domenech make the right adjustments from the previous match. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but this one could have some goals in it.
Player to watch: Karim Benzema, France. The 20-year-old is touted as the next big player from France. With Thierry Henry nicked up and the only other options up from Nic Anelka and international neophyte Batetimbi Gomis, Benzema needs to create havoc in front of an untested Dutch defense.
Score guess: Netherlands 2, France 2
Saturday (Group D)
Sweden v. Spain, Tivoli Neu Stadion, Innsbruck, Austria (11:50 a.m., ESPN2): Pretty straightforward here, if either side wins they essentially wrap up the group. These two teams came out of the same qualifying group, Sweden winning 2-0 at home about in late 2006, while Spain won 3-0 in Madrid about a year ago. Wonder if Spain feels any pressure to dispatch the Swedes as quickly as they did the Russians?
Player to watch: Andreas Isaksson, Sweden. The Sweden No. 1 basically had to simply stand on his line Tuesday against the Greeks. He'll be under a lot more pressure Saturday. He didn't play much for Manchester City this season, so maybe that becomes a factor against the Torres-Villa tag-team.
Score guess: Sweden 1, Spain 2
Greece v. Russia, Wals Siezenheim Stadion, Salzburg, Austria (2:30 p.m., ESPN2): Don't' want to break-out the diehards only chestnut, but …
Player to watch: Roman Pavlyuchenko, Russia. The baby-faced 26-year-old leading-scorer in the Russian Premier League did net late vs. Spain. Maybe he'll do it again to give Russian a lifeline to the final matchday.
Score guess: Greece 0, Russia 1
Sunday (Group A)
* Portugal is through to the quarterfinals.
* The winner of Czech/Turkey advances. If that ends in a tie, all hell breaks lose, since they've both scored two goals and let in three. There's an outside shot there could be an impromptu penalty-kick shootout if full time ends in a draw. And if that ends in a draw, it's revolvers at 20 paces. (Don't think about it too much or your head will explode.)
Switzerland v. Portugal, St. Jakob Park, Basel, Switzerland (2:30 p.m., ESPN2): Hard to say what happens here for a lot of reasons. Will the Swiss show up and try to at least get a win for the home fans, or have they already confirmed their plan tickets to Ibiza? Portugal on the other hand likely won't show much and could give some reserves a little bit of run. Barring a massive loss or Turkey or the Czechs winning by a couple, Portugal is top of group, so they can't fool around trying to set up if they play Germany or Croatia in the quarters.
Guy to watch: Ludovic Magnin, Switzerland. To his credit, came off as maybe the only likeable guy on the co-hosts.
Score guess: Switzerland 0, Portugal 2
Turkey v. Czech Republic, Stade de Geneve, Geneva, Switzerland (2:30 p.m, ESPN Classic): By far the single must-watch of the four weekend fixtures. Basically this is the old Mussolini-inspired, 'Win or die' match. This is going to be a banger, with lots of physical play that could go back-and-forth until the final whistle. The Czechs are better, but the Turks won't go down without a fight in front of what figures to be a pro-Turk crowd. When people talk about soccer's 'atmosphere' this is a game they'll talk about. Again, must watch because neither team can just sit back and let things happen. Instead they'll both have initiative from the first whistle.
Guy to watch: Milan Baros, Czech. The well-traveled striker showed glimpses of his 2004 form when he won the Golden Boot in Portugal against Portugal. Against the less-pedigreed, yet more rugged, Turk defenders he'll have to make something happen.
Score guess: Turkey 1, Czech Republic 2

Handmaid's Tale: Big Mystery, However, trouble-free life isn't a course of the trial for Serena !!
Raman Kumar

Handmaid's Tale the results of the Handmaid's Tale's season 4 climax have made the long term of Serena Waterford unsettled.
The possibility of what could happen to Serena Joy Waterford within the Handmaid's Tale, as Commander Fred Waterford is dead now, maybe a big mystery. within the penultimate episode of season 4 Progress, Fred decides to betray Gilead in exchange for his freedom. But it doesn't go needless to say because June Osborne together with her influence on each side of the border sets a trap for Fred, which eventually got Fred to be killed by June, Emily, and other Handmaids. The question of what is going to happen to Serena and her unborn son as Fred is dead now's still lingering among the fans.
Even though Serena would be welcomed as a hero back in Gilead, she can't return to Gilead without Fred despite Naomi Putman's assurance. She was pretty sure that without Fred's protection, her son would be removed and she or he may end in colonies or maybe be forced to become a Handmaid.
Strahovski's interview including Elle about her role as Serena has admitted that her original faces many threats, particularly from June. The information that June was the one who split [Fred] apart, that's the scary part for Serena. That's the most important threat. And if she goes out into the important world and gets released, especially if she gets to stay her baby, that's the part which will constantly have her living in fear."
Handmaid's Tale: what's the worth Serena has got to buy the death of Fred?
Without the defense of Fred, Serena might be delivered to trial and her freedom may look far away from guaranteed. Not in behavior, if Serena agrees to talk out all the Gilead's dirty linen, of the wife of Commander's attention, she will still describe herself as an asset. Serena has also accumulated some supporters in Canada through her effective PR campaign who wants to ascertain Serena free. Serena, even further, grows as a compassionate character among her friends as she may be a widow presently. However, trouble-free life isn't a course of the trial for Serena.
Serena becoming a Handmaid is that the best-suited ending for that character, Strahovski told Elle, despite the very fact it might be the foremost expected outcome. June now can create something worse like separating Serena from her child, by either the legal ways or maybe by the vigilante method as she has done before.
Even Gilead can't extinguish this spark. ???? #InternationalKissingDay pic.twitter.com/2mA3xUQmcT

As the fans want Serena to suffer, the foremost suitable way is to try to do that through her child. Serena was once a frightening adversary, she would be even more daunting when it involves her child. Serena is now plotting for June the maximum amount as June plotting for Serena in Handmaid's Tale season 5 and their relationship may become even more complex, tells the showrunner, Bruce Miller.
There's such simple toe-to-toe, woman-to-woman venom, but additionally, what's the relationship between two women where one killed the other's abuser? Miller asked. Season 5 finally involves some extent where one questions what price Serena is willing to buy her Motherhood?

Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer
Remote code execution vulnerabilities exist when Internet Explorer improperly accesses objects in memory. These vulnerabilities could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
To view these vulnerabilities as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list, click the link in the following table:
Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors may be helpful in your situation:
•In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit these vulnerabilities through Internet Explorer, and then convince a user to view the website. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. These websites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit these vulnerabilities. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's website, or by getting them to open an attachment sent through email.
•An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
•By default, all supported versions of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Windows Mail open HTML email messages in the Restricted sites zone. The Restricted sites zone, which disables script and ActiveX controls, helps reduce the risk of an attacker being able to use these vulnerabilities to execute malicious code. If a user clicks a link in an email message, the user could still be vulnerable to exploitation of these vulnerabilities through the web-based attack scenario.
•By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode mitigates these vulnerabilities. See the FAQ section for these vulnerabilities for more information about Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.
Workaround refers to a setting or configuration change that does not correct the underlying vulnerability but would help block known attack vectors before you apply the update. Microsoft has tested the following workarounds and states in the discussion whether a workaround reduces functionality:
•Configure Internet Explorer to prompt before running Active Scripting or to disable Active Scripting in the Internet and Local intranet security zone
You can help protect against exploitation of these vulnerabilities by changing your settings to prompt before running Active Scripting or to disable Active Scripting in the Internet and Local intranet security zone. To do this, perform the following steps:
1.In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
2.Click the Security tab.
3.Click Internet, and then click Custom Level.
4.Under Settings, in the Scripting section, under Active Scripting, click Prompt or Disable, and then click OK.
5.Click Local intranet, and then click Custom Level.
7.Click OK two times to return to Internet Explorer.
Note Disabling Active Scripting in the Internet and Local intranet security zones may cause some websites to work incorrectly. If you have difficulty using a website after you change this setting, and you are sure the site is safe to use, you can add that site to your list of trusted sites. This will allow the site to work correctly.
Impact of workaround. There are side effects to prompting before running Active Scripting. Many websites that are on the Internet or on an intranet use Active Scripting to provide additional functionality. For example, an online e-commerce site or banking site may use Active Scripting to provide menus, ordering forms, or even account statements. Prompting before running Active Scripting is a global setting that affects all Internet and intranet sites. You will be prompted frequently when you enable this workaround. For each prompt, if you feel you trust the site that you are visiting, click Yes to run Active Scripting. If you do not want to be prompted for all these sites, use the steps outlined in "Add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone".
Add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone
After you set Internet Explorer to require a prompt before it runs ActiveX controls and Active Scripting in the Internet zone and in the Local intranet zone, you can add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. This will allow you to continue to use trusted websites exactly as you do today, while helping to protect you from this attack on untrusted sites. We recommend that you add only sites that you trust to the Trusted sites zone.
To do this, perform the following steps:
1.In Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.
2.In the Select a web content zone to specify its current security settings box, click Trusted Sites, and then click Sites.
3.If you want to add sites that do not require an encrypted channel, click to clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
4.In the Add this website to the zone box, type the URL of a site that you trust, and then click Add.
5.Repeat these steps for each site that you want to add to the zone.
6.Click OK two times to accept the changes and return to Internet Explorer.
Note Add any sites that you trust not to take malicious action on your system. Two in particular that you may want to add are *.windowsupdate.microsoft.com and *.update.microsoft.com. These are the sites that will host the update, and it requires an ActiveX Control to install the update.
•Set Internet and Local intranet security zone settings to "High" to block ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting in these zones
You can help protect against exploitation of these vulnerabilities by changing your settings for the Internet security zone to block ActiveX controls and Active Scripting. You can do this by setting your browser security to High.
To raise the browsing security level in Internet Explorer, perform the following steps:
1.On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab, and then click Internet.
3.Under Security level for this zone, move the slider to High. This sets the security level for all websites you visit to High.
4.Click Local intranet.
6.Click OK to accept the changes and return to Internet Explorer.
Note If no slider is visible, click Default Level, and then move the slider to High.
Note Setting the level to High may cause some websites to work incorrectly. If you have difficulty using a website after you change this setting, and you are sure the site is safe to use, you can add that site to your list of trusted sites. This will allow the site to work correctly even with the security setting set to High.
Impact of workaround. There are side effects to blocking ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting. Many websites that are on the Internet or on an intranet use ActiveX or Active Scripting to provide additional functionality. For example, an online e-commerce site or banking site may use ActiveX Controls to provide menus, ordering forms, or even account statements. Blocking ActiveX Controls or Active Scripting is a global setting that affects all Internet and intranet sites. If you do not want to block ActiveX Controls or Active Scripting for such sites, use the steps outlined in "Add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone".
After you set Internet Explorer to block ActiveX controls and Active Scripting in the Internet zone and in the Local intranet zone, you can add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. This will allow you to continue to use trusted websites exactly as you do today, while helping to protect yourself from this attack on untrusted sites. We recommend that you add only sites that you trust to the Trusted sites zone.
What is the scope of the vulnerabilities?
These are remote code execution vulnerabilities in the context of the current user.
What causes the vulnerabilities?
When Internet Explorer improperly accesses an object in memory, it could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
What might an attacker use the vulnerabilities to do?
An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
How could an attacker exploit the vulnerabilities?
An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit these vulnerabilities through Internet Explorer, and then convince a user to view the website. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. These websites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit these vulnerabilities. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's website, or by getting them to open an attachment sent through email.
What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerabilities?
Systems where Internet Explorer is used frequently, such as workstations or terminal servers, are at the most risk from these vulnerabilities.
I am running Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2012 R2. Does this mitigate these vulnerabilities?
Yes. By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. Enhanced Security Configuration is a group of preconfigured settings in Internet Explorer that can reduce the likelihood of a user or administrator downloading and running specially crafted web content on a server. This is a mitigating factor for websites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone.
Does EMET help mitigate attacks that could attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities?
Yes. The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) enables users to manage security mitigation technologies that help make it more difficult for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in a given piece of software. EMET helps to mitigate these vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer on systems where EMET is installed and configured to work with Internet Explorer.
For more information about EMET, see The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit.
What does the update do?
The update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying the way that Internet Explorer handles objects in memory.
When this security bulletin was issued, had these vulnerabilities been publicly disclosed?
Consult the following table:
Publicly Disclosed
When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that these vulnerabilities are being exploited?
Yes. Microsoft is aware of limited attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability in Internet Explorer.

Un núvol molecular, també conegut com a viver estel·lar si hi ha formació estel·lar al seu interior, és un tipus de núvol interestel·lar en què la seva densitat i mida permet la formació de molècules, majoritàriament hidrogen molecular (H₂).

L'hidrogen molecular és difícil de detectar en observacions d'ones de ràdio i infraroges, per això la molècula que més s'usa per a determinar la presència de H₂ és el CO (monòxid de carboni). La relació entre la lluminositat del CO i la massa de l' H₂ es creu que és constant, encara que hi ha raons per a dubtar d'aquesta assumpció en observacions fetes en algunes altres galàxies.

Existència
En la nostra pròpia galàxia, hi ha una quantitat de gas molecular que representa l'1% del volum del medi interestel·lar, no obstant això és també la més densa del medi, i comprèn aproximadament una meitat del total de la massa gasosa interior de l'òrbita galàctica del Sol. El bulb de gas molecular està contingut en un anell entre 3.5 i 7.5 quiloparsecs del centre de la galàxia (el Sol es troba a uns f 8.5 quiloparsecs del centre). Els mapes a gran escala del monòxid de carboni de la galàxia mostren que la posició d'aquest gas té correlació amb els braços espirals de la galàxia. Aquest gas molecular es produeix predominantment en els braços espirals, per tant els núvols moleculars s'han de formar i dissociar en una escala de temps inferior a 10 milions d'anys, el temps que triga la matèria a passar a través de la regió del braç.

Verticalment, el gas molecular habita l'estret pla mitjà del disc galàctic amb una característica escala d'altura, Z, d'aproximadament 50–75 parsecs, molt més prima que el medi atòmic (Z=130–400 pc) i el medi interestel·lar (Z=1000 pc) gasós ionitzat. L'excepció a la distribució del gas ionitzat són les regions HII, que són bombolles de gas calent ionitzat creades en núvols moleculars per la intensa radiació donada per les estrelles joves massives i, com a tals, tenen aproximadament la mateixa distribució vertical que el gas molecular.

La distribució del gas molecular és uniforme al llarg de grans distàncies; no obstant això, la distribució del gas a petita escala és altament irregular i es troba concentrat majoritàriament en núvols discrets i núvols complexos.

Tipus de núvols moleculars

Núvols moleculars gegants (GMC)
Grans agrupacions de gas molecular amb masses de 104–10⁶ vegades la massa del Sol s'anomenen núvols moleculars gegants. Els núvols poden arribar a desenes de parsecs de diàmetre i tenir una densitat mitjana de 10²–10³ partícules per centímetre cúbic (la densitat mitjana de les proximitats del Sol és d'una partícula per centímetre cúbic). Les subestructures d'aquests núvols són agrupacions complexes en forma de filaments, làmines, bombolles i cúmuls irregulars.

Les parts més denses dels filaments i cúmuls s'anomenen cors moleculars, mentre que els cors moleculars més densos s'anomenen cors moleculars densos i tenen densitats superiors a 104–10⁶ partícules per centímetre cúbic. S'ha observat que els cors moleculars tenen traces de monòxid de carboni, mentre els cors densos tenen traces d'amoníac. La concentració de pols dels cors moleculars normalment és suficient per a blocar la llum de les estrelles del fons; és per això que distingim la seva silueta com nebuloses fosques.

Els núvols moleculars gegants són tan grans que els locals poden cobrir una fracció significactiva d'una constel·lació; és per això que molt sovint s'anomenen amb el nom d'aquesta constel·lació, per exemple núvol molecular d'Orió o el núvol molecular de Taure. Aquests núvols moleculars gegants es troben organitzats al voltant del Sol en forma d'anell anomenat cinturó de Gould. L'agrupació de núvols moleculars més massius de la galàxia, el complex Sagitari B2, forma un anell al voltant del centre galàctic d'un radi de 120 parsecs. La regió de Sagitari és químicament rica i sovint s'usa com a exemple pels astrònoms a la recerca de noves molècules en l'espai interestel·lar.

Núvols moleculars petits
Els petits núvols molecular aïllats gravitacionalment amb masses inferiors a uns centenars de vegades la massa del Sol s'anomenen glòbuls de Bok. Les parts més denses del petits núvols moleculars són equivalents als cors moleculars trobats als núvols moleculars gegants i sovint s'inclouen en els mateixos estudis.

Núvols moleculars difusos de latituds altes
El 1984, l'IRAS identificà un nou tipus de núvol molecular difús. Es tractava de núvols difusos filamentosos visibles a altes latituds galàctiques (mirant enfora del pla del disc galàctic). Aquests núvols tindrien una densitat típica de 30 partícules per centímetre cúbic.

Processos

Formació estel·lar

Es pensa que la creació d'estels succeeix exclusivament dins els núvols moleculars. Això és una conseqüència natural de la seva baixa temperatura i alta densitat, ja que la força gravitacional que actua per a produir el col·lapse del núvol excedeix la pressió interna que l'evita. A més, s'ha observat que els grans núvols on es formen estrelles es troben confinats per la seva pròpia gravetat (com estrelles, planetes i galàxies) més que per una pressió externa (com els núvols del cel).

Física
La física del núvols moleculars no es troba gaire desenvolupada i és causa de debats. Els moviments interns venen produïts per turbulències de gas magnetitzat fred, per al qual els moviments turbulents són altament supersònics però comparables a les velocitats de pertorbacions magnètiques. Es pensa que aquest estat perd energia ràpidament, i necessita o un total esfondrament o una reinjecció constant d'energia. Al mateix temps, se sap que els núvols són discontinus, possiblement pels efectes d'estrelles massives, abans que una part significant de la seva massa s'hagi convertit en estrelles.

Els núvols moleculars, i especialment els gegants, alberguen sovint màsers astronòmics.

Q: Openlayers 4: Changing the draw order of selected features I have a single vector layer in OpenLayers 4 (4.4.1). The layer has several features with LineString geometries. Some of the features overlap.
If I click at a point where features overlap, I want only one of the features to be drawn as selected. The others should still be available for selection later (by feature id in a separate UI selection list).
If I click on another feature id (in the separate UI selection List) that feature should be drawn as selected, and the previously selected should not be drawn as selected, but still available in the selection list.
This works, but it is only the first (default) selected feature that seems to be drawn at the top.
Image below shows when feature id 10049 is marked as selected.

Image below shows when feature id 10048 is marked as selected.

If I click somewhere on the southmost feature where they do not overlap, it is drawn correctly as selected on top.

To keep track of the feature that needs to be visually selected there is a variable:
var multiselectPrimaryId = 0;

I use the following selectInteraction code:
selectInteraction.on('select', function (e) {
    e.deselected.forEach(function (feature) {
        feature.setStyle(null);
    });
    if (e.selected.length <= 1) {
        $("#multipleHitWindow").hide();
        multiselectPrimaryId = 0;
        if (e.selected.length == 0) {
            return;
        }
    }
    var features = e.selected;
    if (multiselectPrimaryId == 0) {
        multiselectPrimaryId = features[0].getId();
    }
    if (features.length > 1) {
        var text = "Multiple hits: ";
        features.forEach(function (elem, index, array) {
            text += "" + elem.getId() + "   ";
            if (elem.getId() == multiselectPrimaryId) {
                elem.setStyle(selectedStyleFunction);
            }
        });
        $('#multipleHit').html(text);
        $("#multipleHitWindow").show();
    }
    else {
        features[0].setStyle(selectedStyleFunction);
    }
});

And I call this function from a dynamically created list of link:
function changeSelectedFeature(id) {
    multiselectPrimaryId = id;
    var featuresArray = selectInteraction.getFeatures().getArray().slice(0);
    var event = new ol.interaction.Select.Event()
    event.deselected = featuresArray;
    event.selected = featuresArray;
    event.type = 'select';
    event.target = selectInteraction;
    event.mapBrowserEvent = map.mapBrowserEventHandler_;
    selectInteraction.dispatchEvent(event);
}

How can I get the one with selectedStyle set to be drawn at the top? I have tried to add a zIndex to the selectedStyle. But it does not seem to have any effect.
Here is a JsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/5j6c6mgo/7/ . There are some other minor issues with the selection, but hopefully you will able to see the behaviour that I described above.

A:
I have a single vector layer ... The layer has several features with LineString geometries. Some of the
  features overlap.

I think you would need the LineString geometries to be in separate Layers for you to be able to use 'zIndex' - you would do this by calling 'setZIndex' on the layer in question. This will easily allow you to set the draw order at runtime.
Other than that the vectors are going to be displayed in their initial draw order and short of redrawing changing their draw order isn't possible.

If you're looking to channel your inner Tyrion Lannister — drinking and knowing things — we have the perfect thing for you: this Hand of the Queen bottle opener. San Diego Comic-Con is almost here (!!!), and for it, Factory Entertainment has unveiled some amazing Game of Thrones-themed SDCC exclusives.
Last season on the HBO hit, two of our favorite characters, Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister solidified their alliance, with Dany asking Tyrion to be her Hand of the Queen with a gorgeous pin. Factory Entertainment has taken that pin and turned it into a bottle opener — exclusively for SDCC.
Even better? The Hand of the Queen bottle opener is only $20.
While Dany, her trusted council, and her army of the unsullied are headed towards Westeros, the time has come to make that voyage to Southern California for Comic-Con to get your hands on this gift from the beverage Gods (old and new). The bottle opener is available for purchase at the convention, or pre-order for pick up at Factory Entertainment's SDCC Booth #2647. Pre-orders will be shipped out after SDCC is over.
While Game of Thrones merchandise never ceases to amaze us, we love how purposeful this particular piece of merch is. The bottle opener is THE BEST match for Tyrion — marking two of his most useful qualities. Even better, it also pays homage to his ever-tightening alliance with Dany.
With the seventh season of Game of Thrones *right* around the corner, we have a feeling the Hand of the Queen bottle opener will come in very good use.

You Know This F'ing Loss
I must admit that 19 hours later, I'm still sitting here muttering "How could the Mets lose that game?"
I am incredulous at the idea that they could hit into a double play in 5 innings in a row, that they could make the errors and stupid baserunning mistakes unbefitting of this kind of a team.
But you know what? Sometimes that's just the way it goes...just like losing a game on a non-shot off a skate (hello, fellow Rangers fans). You have to take the good with the bad. These things happen. For example:
* On 3 occasions, the Mets have lost games in which they scored 11 runs. Amazingly, they happened in consecutive years: 1995 (May 6, 13-11 to the Reds, blew an 11-4 lead), 1996 (August 21, 12-11 to the Giants), and 1997 (May 6, 12-11 to the Rockies).
* The Mets have twice lost games in which they hit 5 home runs. They fell 9-8 to the Cubs at Wrigley Field on September 4, 1993, and 8-6 at home to the Reds on August 3, 1962.
* The Mets have twice lost games in which they got 20 hits in 9 innings, once in 1964 (July 26, 15-10 to the Braves), and 1997 (May 6, 12-11 to the Rockies). They also lost a 20-hit effort on May 31, 1964, but the length of the game (23 innings) was far more incredulous than any sort of hit tally.
* The Mets once lost a game in which they drew 15 walks. On April 10, 1991 against the Phillies, they fell 8-7 in 10 innings, stranding 18 baserunners. Not good.
* Three times, the Mets have lost a 9-inning game in which they stranded 15 baserunners: In 1976 (April 13, 5-4 to the Cubs), 1978 (August 5, 5-3, to the Cardinals), 1984 (May 10, 7-3, to the Braves).
* On June 11, 2004, the Mets lost a 7-5 game to the Royals in which they hit 8 doubles. I think that one speaks for itself.
And on the pitching side...
* The Mets have twice lost games in which they allowed one hit- In 1991 (September 14, 2-1, to the Cardinals) and in 2006 (September 3, 2-1, to the Astros).
Gee, this made me feel a lot better.

The Mets aggressiveness is their biggest strength, and their biggest weakness. They just need to find a better balance between smart baseball and aggressiveness.
Research question for another day: How often have the Mets lost when one of their players hits a grand slam? September 25, 1985, Gary Carter gives the Mets a 4-1 lead on one swing in the sixth at Wrigley, yet they lose 5-4 to the Cubs. It struck me as obscene that this could have happened. Illegal even.

Manhattan pols seek to close indoor dining, non-essential offices amid COVID-19 rise
By Robert Pozarycki

With the second wave of COVID-19 yet to fully crest in New York, several Manhattan lawmakers renewed calls to have the entire city declared an "orange zone" that would necessitate a new round of business closures to help stem the surge.
City Council Members Mark Levine and Carlina Rivera, along with state Senator Gustavo Rivera and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, issued a statement Sunday seeking the designation — pointing to the upward trend in COVID-19 infections and related hospitalizations across the city.
Many parts of the city are already designated yellow or orange zones, such as the southern part of Staten Island, which has one of the highest COVID-19 positivity rates in the entire city. The yellow and orange zones either severely restrict or completely forbid indoor dining, gym operations and the opening of non-essential businesses.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has the authority through the state Health Department to declare COVID-19 zones based on the severity of cases. He has previously expressed hesitance toward declaring entire regions of the state, such as New York, as specific zones — arguing that a micro-cluster approached targeting specific communities within a region would be more effective at clamping down on infections.
The Manhattan lawmakers, in their Sunday statement, disagreed.
"Targeted neighborhood measures are not sufficient at this point, because community spread is now city-wide, and because New Yorkers are highly mobile, moving frequently between neighborhoods," according to the statement. "The color status in any single neighborhood impacts the entire city, therefore at this point the best strategy is a consistent city-wide standard of Orange status, which restricts the most risky and likely points for contracting COVID-19, while allowing for some flexibility regarding lower-risk activities."
On Saturday, Dec. 5, another 9,702 out of 205,832 tested for COVID-19 came back with positive results. Nearly a third of the new positive cases came from New York City, which had 3,127.
The number of patients hospitalized statewide rose by another 124, with 4,442 now admitted for COVID-19, according to Cuomo. The Manhattan lawmakers claimed that more than 1,300 people in New York City are currently hospitalized for COVID-19 — the highest total since June.
Another 56 New Yorkers died of COVID-19 on Dec. 5, including 15 in New York City. Ten of those deaths came in Queens and Staten Island, both of which had five.
In response to the lawmakers' statement, Bill Neidhardt, press secretary for Mayor Bill de Blasio, stated, "The City is in constant and active discussions with the State on their zones and possible restrictions. Our top priority is the health and safety of all New Yorkers as we fight off a second wave."

August | 2017 | Kate Fox. Writer, Broadcaster and Performer: Where There's Muck, There's Bras.
I was asked on Good Morning Britain this morning to talk about whether women face too much pressure to have children. It came up because Jennifer Aniston had written a magazine piece about how she is both "body shamed" and "baby shamed" when commentators obsessively wonder whether a picture of her with a bloated tummy means she is "finally" pregnant.
The nature of live morning telly is such that it's hard to get chance to say much in what's set up as a "debate" with Richard Madeley (whose randomness I love) chucking in random stories like about what happened when he asked Gaby Roslin if she was pregnant (and she didn't know she was, but she was). Also I was "Up against" the right wing commentator Ann Atkins who, though she is churchy and thinks women should have kids, was reluctant to agree that people should pester Jennifer Aniston about whether she's going to have kids.
Anyway, the thing I'd love to have said is that this narrative is a bit of a red herring. The story in which "Poor Jen" doesn't have children, and in which I sometimes still get asked why I don't/didn't want them, is by the by. So, people are rude and find it harder to get to grips with women who don't conform, nothing new there. Mothers get MUCH worse mithering about their choices- because this is all part of the wider issue of society still getting too much of a say over women's bodies and women as supposed to be both "productive" and "reproductive". It's I think, much harder to be a mother in a society that is STILL not set up so that women get a fair crack of the whip at work (gender pay gaps, no allowances for career breaks etc). In a society that stigmatises single mothers. In a society which carries on the historic patriarchy of the church in which women's roles are to be an Ideal Mother and a Productive Worker, preferably all at once. No matter how much austerity or lack of social privilege make it difficult. It's also much harder to want children and not be able to have them for biological/social/economic reasons.
Compared to that, being expected to want kids is a minor irritant. What's more destructive is that we are so rarely allowed to see and hear the narrative of the HAPPILY child-free woman. The women (AND MEN) who choose not to be parents and still do good stuff. Are still "complete". Have had a variety of different experiences which were fulfilling in different ways. I don't think it's better or worse not to have children and its too simplistic to say "But it's all down to individual choice" because there are all sorts of social factors driving this stuff (In a way you have to be able to afford to have kids- but you also have to be able to afford NOT to have kids). A New Statesman article once suggested happily child free woman are like unicorns (as in, mythical). Of course, there are LOADS of us. But we rarely get heard because we're drawn into "Poor Jen" type narratives. It also makes it difficult for parents to then talk publicly about how challenging parenting is (I'm really not convinced by Ann Atkins' assertion that she's never met anyone who regrets having children- just people who don't feel they can say so).
We don't necessarily need people to be more tactful in how they talk about issues of parenthood and babyhood and make it taboo to ask people about their choices – we just need to hear a greater variety of stories and allow people to be honest. I'd love Jennifer Aniston to be able to come out and say "I've never had kids and I wake up every day in my lovely child-free apartment and thank my lucky stars I'm not a parent. Plus also I had a ginormous burrito for dinner and am now a bit bloated, whilst still conforming to Hollywood star standards. So don't worry about me too much- cast your attention to wider structural issues of inequality". Or, failing that, give me more than two minutes on telly and I'll say it. (I sort of did in The Price of Happiness, my Radio 4 show- still on iPlayer…).
