She is beautiful. She is loving. She is kind.
She is a professional multitasker with a never ending to-do list. She willingly gives the food off her plate, the clothes in her closet, the jewelry in her box. She is an interpreter for tiny life forms, a personal chef, a chauffeur, and even a maid.
She is strong. She is passionate. She is fearless.
She is a runner who is ready and willing for the next challenge. She isn't afraid to feel pain. She pushes her body to its limits because she knows it has more to give. At her core she is competitive with herself and others. She strives to be better every day.
A Trophy Wife is a mother who hunts down trophies and PRs on the open road.
She is the mother runner who becomes a better version of herself thru running. She is a woman who isn't ashamed to admit that she craves more than motherhood to be happy. Juggling motherhood, managing a household, and training are her perfect recipe for feeling fulfilled. She makes every minute count.
Lilly cooling me off after a HOT run. Summer 2013.
Last summer I was lifting at the gym when I ran into that infamous young male trainer who harped on my running form way back when. The following conversation left my blood boiling and was the exact moment when I realized that I am a Trophy Wife.
Trainer: When is your next race?
Me: A 5k this weekend! I'm super nervous… and excited too! Just hope all the hard work pays off!
Trainer: You don't expect to PR at every single race, do you?
Me: No… but it would be nice, wouldn't it? I'm sure as hell going to try! (Jokingly I added…) I figure that I've just started running this year so I've got at least 2 more years before I peak!
Trainer: Will you feel disappointed if you don't PR?
Me: Of course. When you work hard for something you want to see results, so yes, I would be a little disappointed. But then I'll just have to move forward, train harder, and focus on the next race!
Trainer: I just don't get it. Why do you put so much pressure on yourself? Why the disappointment?
Me: I don't see it as pressure and disappointment. I see racing as a fun challenge. Being competitive is fun for me. I like the pressure. I have a baby and no job (at the time); I have to focus my energy somewhere, haha- Might as well be running!
Trainer: Why not put your energy back into your child?
I love my daughter with all my heart. Can you even fathom how much I love her and how much i do for her?! I am the one that wakes up with Lilly at whenever-o'clock, feeds her breakfast, dries her tears when she cries, changes her dirty diapers, chases her around the house when she refuses to wear a diaper or get dressed, holds her tight when she is feverish and throwing up, clips her finger and toe nails, brushes her teeth every morning and night, gets her in her "jammie-jams", reads her bedtime stories, sings her one more lullaby and then kisses her head before bedtime!
I opened my mouth with my bitter response, but somehow found the self-control to swallow my angry words. I said, "I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree" and was on my way.
Footloose and fancy free in Newport, RI. Fall 2013.
I love being a mother and yet, it's true, I need more than motherhood. I refuse to allow this trainer make me feel ashamed for this. I didn't owe this trainer an explanation about my personal struggles as a mother or my newfound passion as a road runner. I only owe Lilly the best parts of myself, and running helps me give her that. Competing against myself helps me give her that.
Over the past two years running has morphed my post-baby body into that of a strong athlete, as well as a happy, healthy mother. I doubt myself, my running ability and my parenting decisions all the time so much so that I have started to repeat the following mantra to myself at home and on the road: You are stronger than you think you are.
PRs are not given, they are earned. I'm making as many PRs in parenting as I am in running—and I feel like I'm earning all of them.
Over the next year I will break 20 min in the 5k, 1:30 in the half and 3:20 in the marathon- oh yea, and I'm raising a toddler.
Hi, my name is Kassandra Berry. I'm a Trophy Wife and I'm damn proud of it!
YES! Happy belated Mother's Day to you, and go get those PRs. Also, ignore young male trainers who (I'm assuming) have no kids. He doesn't know what he doesn't know.
I love your sentence, "A trophy wife is a mother who hunts down PR's and trophies on the open road." You are a great role model for your daughter by showing her that working hard will give you the opportunity for success. Sports are so important, especially for girls and their self esteem.
Very well written. I couldn't agree more!

Trump Admits Climate Change is Real—But Only So He Can Terrorize the Global South
By Barbara Sostaita
By Reina Gattuso • @reinagattuso • 2 years ago
The more privileged residents of the Global North have a strange sense of time. Even as the storms get fiercer and the forest fires burn, climate change is often seen as the reality of a cataclysmic future.
At the same time, many Global North people—particularly the rich, the white, and those without much contact beyond more developed parts of the United States and Western Europe—view Global South cities as stuck in the past. Delhi and Dhaka, Kampala and Jakarta are living history—the "developing" cities of "traditional" countries, implying a relentless forward movement away from "primitivism" to "catch up" with their Western counterparts. The idea that the Global South is stuck in time is decidedly colonial, derived from imperialist nations' justification of territorial and ...

China to abolish 1-child policy, let all couples have 2 children
AP Photo/Ng Han Guan A woman gestures towards two dolls depicting children near a child in Beijing, China on Oct. 29, 2015. The official Xinhua News Agency says China's ruling Communist Party has decided to abolish the country's one-child policy and allow all couples to have two children.AP
BEIJING >> China's ruling Communist Party announced Thursday that it will abolish the country's decades-old one-child policy and allow all couples to have two children, removing remaining restrictions that limited many urban couples to only one, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Xinhua said on its microblog that the decision to allow all couples to have two children was "to improve the balanced development of population" and to deal with an aging population.
The decision does away with an unpopular policy that was long considered one of the party's most onerous intrusions into family life.
The decision was contained in a Communist Party communique that followed a meeting of the party's Central Committee on planning the country's economic and social development through 2020. In recent years, it has been unusual for such plenary sessions to result in major decisions. They generally focus on economic topics and there was no indication that this one would take action on the one-child policy.
The country has been moving in recent years toward easing family planning restrictions that were introduced in 1979 as a temporary measure to curb a surging population and limit demands for water and other resources. After the policy was first implemented, rural couples were soon allowed two children if their first-born was a girl.
In November 2013, the party announced that it would allow couples to have two children if one of the parents is a single child, the first substantial easing of the policy in nearly three decades.
The decision announced Thursday removes all remaining restrictions limiting couples to only one child.

Treasure hunters rejoice! A couple of enterprising detectorists (those who seek buried treasure with metal detectors) have once again proved that it can be a fruitful hobby indeed…the enterprising duo, Joe Kania and Mark Hambleton, unearthed the find of a lifetime in a field just south of Manchester. Their "hoard," a bracelet and three neck torcs estimated to be at least 80% gold each, were either lost or buried 2,500 years ago, making them possibly the oldest known Iron Age discovery to date!
Not far from another famous find, the "Staffordshire Hoard," this locale seems ripe for the detecting. This bounty was uncovered by 'local boy' Terry Herbert in 2009, and has already garnered a generous bounty for the finder (it's the law in Great Britain that all found artifacts must be turned in to the government, but also that they get reimbursed the full value!), and the objects themselves have already been touring museums for some time! It will be exciting to see what happens to this 2017 discovery once its worth has been calculated by the British Museum, where it is currently being kept on display.
To get an eyeful of the famous 2009 find attributed to 'local boy' Terry Herbert and the garnet-encrusted goodies he unearthed, check out the hoard's official website (…or, for a closer look, just check out some gold and garnets at the Eve Alfille Gallery & Studio!).

Is your bathroom a bit boring? Is your lavatory too lackluster? Leave the porcelain to the plebeians! The latest in privy improvements can now be experienced at the Guggenheim Museum in New York since Italian artist and editor of "The Toilet Paper" magazine Maurizio Cattelan has unveiled his latest exhibit: America.
Ironically, despite the perniciousness of the plumbing, this is not the first golden toilet to grace bathrooms of the world (despite its clever monicker, "America"). In Hong Kong, a 24 karat solid gold toilet is included in the Hang Fung Gold Technology Group's showroom. Elsewhere in Asia, a Saudi King kindly gifted a golden toilet to his daughter on her wedding day with the additional present of a wedding dress designed to embody all the glamour and style of the ancient pyramids. This strikingly geometric silhouette is the boldest choice in design since Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain," another bathroom accessory fit for the annals of art history.
We know that you love Eve already, but did you know that she also uses a wide variety of materials in her jewelry that conform to the same high moral standards that you do?
Read Eve's answers to questions regarding where her materials come from, and how they are each ethically-sourced, conflict-free, green, and gorgeous. For anybody who's ever sought diamonds both for clarity AND for conscience, for any responsible brides seeking a humanitarian, globally-mindful companion for life other than her spouse, or even anybody seeking an extra-thoughtful anniversary gift.
A selection of rings by Eve Alfillé. Photo by Matt Arden.
Where do the Eve Alfille Gallery & Studio metals come from?
We get our metals from a company called "Harmony Metals," and they are virtually 100% ethically-sourced and recycled.
Where does Harmony Metals procure these metals?
In this country, recycled gold comes from people who sell gold that they no longer want, and then the refiners will buy it. It used to be that there wasn't much emphasis on this…people had their own gold, and it just stayed in drawers. Companies would go tear the earth up and mine new gold to satisfy the demand.
Now, with more interest in reusing, adapting, and saving the environment, they discovered that there is quite a resource right here! Refiners take this gold and refine it, removing any impurities, and return it to a form where it can be reshaped into entirely new pieces. And this is, in a way, the circle of life as applied to metals.
Where do the beautiful diamonds in my Eve ring come from?
When it comes to diamonds, it's important to know that the sources have changed tremendously in the last 20 years. It used to be that most diamonds came from South Africa, and that provoked a lot of conscience-searching, because you have apartheid, and political reasons, so a lot of people felt badly about that.
Some diamonds come from countries where there is a lot of conflict, like Sierra Leone in Africa, but those diamonds are not traded in the market generally. Dealers have gotten together internationally, and are very careful to not purchase diamonds from those sources. Everyone wants to stay away from it…There was a big meeting some years back, and a document called the "Kimberly Agreement" resulted in those diamonds being banished from the trade (kind of).
Now, the big change is that today, a little more than one third of all diamonds actually come from Russia. It turns out that Siberia/Russia has wonderful diamonds, and large mines that are very well-run. They pay the people that they employ, they cut the diamonds very well, and a lot of the diamonds that are on the market now (one third, as I said) are from Russia.
Another 25% come from the Arctic Circle, or close to it, in Canada. In 1996, I was at a big reception at the Gemological Institute in California where they introduced the people who actually discovered those diamonds. They were prospectors who were flying, and noticed that the terrain looked a little different. They had a hunch. So, ever since, a quarter of the world's diamonds of high quality come from Canada.
Small diamonds that you see are usually cut in India, but India doesn't really have that many diamonds. So if they are champagne, or pink, then they probably come from Australia. If they are small and white, and well-cut, they probably come from Russia.
Some countries off the coast of Africa, like Angola, mine in th ocean! They found some diamonds on the beach, and so there are now ships that are anchored offshore. They drag up some of the water, find diamonds in the water, and then they just send the water back out. So, interestingly enough, some diamonds actually come from the ocean.
Can you repurpose a family diamond if I already have one?
Yes, and we often do!
This is rather nice; to know that the diamond that you are using is such a family symbol…a symbol of belonging, that actually comes from either one of your families, and I think it's especially wonderful. We encourage people to ask family members if they have stones that they would wish to donate, and if they're willing to do that, we're very happy to work with them!
A piece simultaneously new and old, Eve has just unveiled her incredible "Ancient Echoes" necklace.
"Ancient Echoes" necklace ©Eve Alfillé, Photo by: Matt Arden.
In case her stunning relief pendants, depicting Romans doing as Romans do, do not excite your sense of history; in case her tiny silver replicas of bread found still sitting in Pompeiian ovens, or her evocative and emeralds, are somehow not enough to inspire in you a sense of what living and dying in Pompeii would have been like, then "Ancient Echoes" is your solution.
Carried in a sentimental, yet elegant necklace of gold, there rests the cameo of a beautiful woman's face, surrounded by heart-like shapes depicting her covetability. Her soft, enigmatic features have all been lovingly carved from a smooth, cool-colored stone that is not immediately identifiable to the untrained eye…it is, in fact, an actual specimen of Vesuvian lava, carved from the very rock that spelled out destruction for the idyllic resort town of Pompeii all the way back in 79 A.D.
This simple, yet lovely cameo has left many a bookmark between the pages of the centuries that it has travelled since the great eruption where it hurdled, boiling and red hot, through the air and into the homes of the Pompeiian elite. The female form on the lava came into being much later, being carved into the volcanic rock as late as the 18th century (or as the ever-romantic Eve calls it, the time of Jane Austen.) It took almost another 200 years, near the dawn of the 21st century and over 2,000 years since the eruption of Vesuvius, for the cameo to pass into the skilled hands of Eve Alfillé and be made back into a wearable piece immortalizing its heritage.
"Via della Fortuna" necklace ©Eve Alfillé, Photo by: Matt Arden.
Today you can see her at the gallery, along with her lovely sister, "Via della Fortuna," both politely waiting, as they have done for centuries, to again be bestowed with the gifts of life and of motion.
This Saturday, prepare to be refreshed and sated by Eve's celebration of "the Garden of Eden," her latest collection of art jewelry, as the gallery dedicates an entire day to the remembrance of a time and place in which perfect peace, plenty, and oneness between all created things reigned.
Featured below is a pair of matching wedding bands which are to be released, each entitled "The Tree of Knowledge," which offer both "his" and "hers" sizes (or "Adam" and "Eve," as it were) to complement one other as well as any two soul mates do today. Natural shapes weave their way throughout 18 karat gold bodies, with designs which branch out into stunningly organic formations that seem to bridge the divide between the unplanned orchestra of nature, and the careful planning and cultivation of a garden.
Alongside these two intricate golden wreaths is the soon-to-be-unveiled final addition by Eve, creating a perfect marital trifecta: her newest diamond engagement ring. To see all three together, be sure not to miss the opening party taking place on Saturday, November 15, from 1 to 7pm. Even if she wasn't made from your rib, this may be the perfect opportunity to view and admire Eve's latest spellbindingly-wrought series of rings, and perhaps they will become the perfect symbol of your love to the apple of your eye.


Regarding the Sunday column (May 29) by a Democratic Yale graduate from San Marino who also has a long-ago degree from USC and is voting for Donald Trump for president: Clearly, degrees do not necessarily suggest that one is wise. To see that, all you have to do is read this guest commentary.
I was significantly underwhelmed and somewhat perplexed by the paper's endorsement of Michael Antonovich for the 25th California Senate District.
I would expect the paper to be able to anchor its endorsement of one who has held office in California since the Reagan administration on more meat than deflating the Democratic majority's supposed inflated head or a few crumbs tossed out to the mentally ill and homeless. Where is a firm policy stance on water, environment, public education, climate change, affordable housing, minimum wage, maintaining open space, civil rights (including women's and LGBT rights)?
The reason they aren't mentioned is Antonovich's track record on these issues is dismal at best. I'm voting for Anthony Portantino because he may not have his name on parks and parcels of desert land but has a strong progressive track record of supporting human beings, and the environment and programs they need to thrive.
Friends, Democrats. Republicans, lend me your eyes! Our country is in very serious trouble. The establishments in both major political parties have fragmented into disarray! "We the people" (voters) have finally had enough of the chaos running wild in Washington!
The 17 Republican candidates were far too many for any rational debate. A loudmouth outsider took over in the debates and managed to come out on top while degrading fellow candidates. His personal attacks on them were humiliating, ugly and uncalled for!
The Democrats rolled out a handful of candidates and currently are down to two. A socialist longshot has had remarkable success! His most ardent backers are young people, who are going crazy with all the freebies he will provide them if he wins this election. Then there is HRC! Her negative political baggage would fill a freight train a mile long! She is the only one of almost two dozen candidates who are being investigated by the FBI! But she is not worried at all. With the president and the head of the Department of Justice running interference for her, she scores a touchdown!
From now until November, this will be the "The Greatest Show on Earth"! It certainly will be entertainment galore for the ISIS junior varsity team!
Is the problem growth or drought? I suppose if California had but 1,000 people, there would be more than enough water for everyone.
Forgive the C word, but climate change will eventually meet everyone's definition of drought. Trump would do nothing to stop it.

"I heard there was a vaccine clinic. Am I eligible?"
Lewis County Health System vaccine latest
By 7 News Staff | January 6, 2021 at 10:49 AM EST - Updated January 6 at 7:41 PM
LOWVILLE, N.Y. (WWNY) - On Tuesday, Lewis County Health System CEO Jerry Cayer said the hospital got more COVID-19 vaccine doses than anticipated.
"I would say we were in the bucket of hospitals who received more inventory than we should have," he said.
With 418 doses of Moderna and 180 doses of Pfizer left, Cayer said Wednesday that many people are calling wondering if they'll be next.
"I wish we could vaccinate other members of the community. Those are the phone calls we're getting now - when can we be vaccinated? 'We' being, our neighbors," said Cayer.
But those extra doses likely won't stay.
"This vaccine will leave. It will go to another region of the state that I'm sure is struggling to meet their 1A expectations, because they have more people lined up than vaccine they have received," said Cayer.
As hospitals like Lewis County General finish up phase 1A, which includes high-risk healthcare workers and nursing home residents and staff among others, many are wondering when it'll be their turn.
New York state has a solution for you. It's a website called, "When Am I Eligible?"
Here's how it works: the site asks a series of questions to determine your eligibility, and will tell you if you're in a priority group to get your first dose.
If you are eligible, the site will connect you with where you can get the shot and allow you to schedule an appointment.
The next phase is 1B, which includes vaccines for essential workers and people over the age of 75.
It's still unclear when the general public will get the shot. But preparations are being made for retail distribution when the time does come.
Troopers say people have been tricked into paying money for puppies that don't exist.

Q: Applying a custom function on a particular column of multiple dataframes in R I have multiple dataframes (df1, df2, df3, df4, df5), and each dataframe has the same two columns: date, which has dates (e.g. 2020-11-12) as characters and price column as numeric. For example, df1 looks like this:
df1

Date
Price

2020-11-12
29.75

2020-11-13
29.95

2020-11-14
30.72

2020-11-15
32.83

2020-11-16
33.14

I am trying to use lapply with a custom function that converts the character "date" column to the date class. However, lapply function doesn't give me a reformatted date column. My simple codes are as follows:
df.list <- list(df1, df2, df3, df4, df5)  # create a list of dataframes

# create a custom function to change the class of date column
date_con <- function(x) {
             x$date <- as.Date(x$date, format="%Y-%m-%d")}

When I use
lapply(df.list, date_con)

the date columns still remain as character. For instance, when I check class(df$date), it still shows as "character" but not date. On the other hand, if I go manually for each dataframe to make this conversion, it works but I don't want to go over 100s of dataframes manually. That is,
df1$date <- as.Date(df1$date, format="%Y-%m-%d")

works but it is  obviously not efficient and I am sure there is a way to achieve this. So, how can I use lapply or some other approach to efficiently convert character date column into a date class column for large number of dataframes?

A: You're missing to return x.
df_list <- lapply(df_list, \(x) {x$date <- as.Date(x$date);x})
str(df_list)
# List of 3
# $ :'data.frame':  6 obs. of  2 variables:
#   ..$ date : Date[1:6], format: "2020-11-12" ...
# ..$ price: num [1:6] 29.8 29.9 30 30.4 30.2 ...
# $ :'data.frame':  6 obs. of  2 variables:
#   ..$ date : Date[1:6], format: "2020-11-12" ...
# ..$ price: num [1:6] 29.8 29.9 30 30.4 30.2 ...

A: The issue here is that R passes argyments by value and not by reference/pointers. Thus the original objects are not modified. To modify the original objects, you need to invoke the use of names and listing to the environment.
Name the elements in your list:
df.list <- list(df1 = df1, df2 = df2, df3 = df3, df4 = df4, df5 = df5)

# function
date_con <- function(x) {
    x$date <- as.Date(x$date, format="%Y-%m-%d")
    x
}

Now run
list2env(lapply(df.list, date_con),.GlobalEnv)

You can now check the class of the date column in your original dataframe:
class(df1$date)

Bush's fundamentalism seen as a decisive, negative factor in his policies
COMMENTARY | August 04, 2006
Former White House reporter Saul Friedman says that, for the first time in modern American history, a president's religion is determining policies, and the press should do a better job reporting it.
By Saul Friedman
saulfriedman@comcast.net
There is an alien influence, mostly unpublicized, running like an undercurrent beneath the Bush administration's Middle East policies. It may help explain George W. Bush's single-mindedness, his oblivious inability to face reality as his war in Iraq, his war against terror and his policies towards Arabs and Israeli have collapsed.
I say "alien," because I believe this to be the first time in modern American history that a president's religion, in this case his Christian fundamentalism, has become a decisive factor in his foreign and domestic policies. It's a factor that has been under-reported, to say the least, and that begs for press attention.
Bush, who says he reads the Bible daily, acknowledges his fundamentalist beliefs. Biblical and Middle East scholar Karen Armstrong writes in The Guardian, "Whatever Bush's personal beliefs, the ideology of the Christian right is both familiar and congenial to him. This strange amalgam of ideas can perhaps throw light on the behavior of a president who, it is said, believes God chose him to lead the world toward Rapture, who has little interest in social reform, and whose selective concern for life issues has now inspired him to veto important scientific research.
"It explains his unconditional support for Israel, his willingness to use 'Jewish End-Time warriors' to fulfill a vision of his own, arguably against Israel's best interest, and to see Syria and Iran...as entirely responsible for the unfolding tragedy."
Noting that "the same time as Bush decided to veto the stem cell bill, Israeli bombs were taking the lives of hundreds of innocent Lebanese civilians, many of them children, with the tacit approval of the U.S. " And she suggested there is "a connection between a religiously motivated mistrust of science...and a war in the Middle East."
As she notes, Bush and his administration not only rely on Christian fundamentalists, he espouses many of their ideals, including their belief that "the second coming of Christ is at hand" but Christ cannot return unless, "in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, the Jews are in possession of the Holy Land."
Bush's hard-line support of Israel in the face of cries of protest from the rest of the world, and his refusal to put pressure on Israel, as his father and Ronald Reagan have done, has stopped a simmering rebellion of discontent among the ranks of the Christian right. But that does not mean Bush's views are catering to the right. Rather, Bush believes they're right.
Political scientist Kevin Phillips, in his book "American Theocracy," says the Republican Party has become the "vehicle for religious policymaking and eventual erosion" of the separation of church and state. He estimates that 55 percent of Bush voters in 2004 believed in the coming of Armageddon and cheered American involvement in Iraq, one of the world's "evils," in Bush's apocalyptic view.
Writing for the Nation in May, Phillips said, "The last arena of theological influence, almost as important as sex, birth and mortality, involves American foreign policy, bringing us to the connections among the 'war on terror,' the Rapture, the end of times, Armageddon and the thinly disguised U.S. crusade against radical Islam...In the months before George W. Bush sent U.S. troops into Iraq, his inspirational reading each morning was a book of sermons by a Scottish preacher accompanying troops about to march on Jerusalem."
The belief that Bush is a modern crusader is sharper among thinking Muslims. An essay in the May issue of The American Muslim, is entitled, "The Faith of George W. Bush: Christian Supremacy, American Imperialism, and Global Disaster." The writer, Yoginder Sikand, cites Stephen Mansfield's "The Faith of George W. Bush," which says that the president "incorporates his faith and belief into every detail of life," and that faith is rooted in Christian fundamentalism.
Sikand condemns religious fundamentalism, "but as a Christian fundamentalist," he writes, "Bush sees the most complex questions in the most simplistic terms, as a battle between good and evil...Bush is convinced that Islamic militants and many other Muslims are opposed to America because, America is 'freedom's home and defender' and Islamist militancy stems from a congenital Muslim/non-white/non-Christian barbarity that can only be cured through military bombardment."
Finally, writing in the Australian "on-line e-journal of social and political debate," churchman and teacher Peter Sellick commented on a U.S. television documentary in 2004 that described the Christian fundamentalism of the president and the most ardent supporters of the war in Iraq. "In the president's mind, America stands for the good and the terrorists, or any associated with them, are evil. I do not quibble with labeling acts of terrorism evil...It is the assumption that the world can be divided between good and evil that disturbs me...This is a simplistic and dangerous view of the world that pits military might not only against the planners and perpetrators but against whole peoples...
"An emphasis on the Bible as being true in all its facts, rather than in spirit, leads to displaced knowledge about the world and about culture. This is why Bush was not able to understand the complex history of the Middle East. This ignorance allowed him to rush in where wiser men would have feared to tread."
Armstrong concluded, "Fundamentalists do not want a humanely constructed peace; many, indeed, regard the UN as the abode of the Antichrist. The willingness of the U.S. to turn a blind eye to the suffering of innocent people in Lebanon will certainly fuel the rage of the extremists and lead to further acts of terror. We can only hope that it does not take us all the way to Armageddon."
While I have your attention, let me recall the White House press made no protest at the regular briefing when Press Secretary Tony Snow, who was a flack for Bush when he worked for Fox News, casually tossed a gratuitous insult at Helen Thomas, who was pressing him on why the administration didn't favor a cease fire to save lives.
She pointed out, correctly, that the U.S. was perceived to have endorsed "collective punishment," against Lebanon and Palestine. His reply: "Well thank you for the Hezbollah view." Then he misinformed reporters by claiming the G8 meeting had endorsed the American position.
Not since the Vietnam war when an American official asked the press, "Which side are you on," have I heard a presidential flack insult and impugn a reporter's integrity for asking a legitimate question. Never in my dozen or so years asking tough questions of Larry Speakes, Marlin Fitzwater, Mike McCurry and even Ron Ziegler during Watergate, did I hear such a snide insult.
Helen Thomas could teach Snow about integrity and manners. Helen's roots are Lebanese, but as the longtime White House reporter for UPI, she would grit her teeth as she listened to the likes of Menachim Begin and Itzakh Shamir, ask a couple of provocative questions, then write a clean, straight account of what they had to say.
Saul Friedman, a 1963 Nieman fellow, is a former White House correspondent for Newsday and Knight Ridder newspapers and now writes a weekly column, "Gray Matters," dealing with senior issues, for Newsday.

Fundamentalism and the USA
Posted by March Dancer - My role? I am a concerned American voter, a long-time Republican activist who has been converted due to the actions of that party themselves. My objective? A truth (found in various ways) that I can share with those who will listen. My disappointment? The rise of American "Christian" fundamentalist religion in lieu of "..faith, hope, love and charity, but..the greatest of these is love."
Why now are the pundits, the former elected elite, and newspaper editors and columnists acting so surprised...rather so horrified to discover that their country, and mine, has filled its halls of justice and legislatures, its very presidency and cabinet with Religious Fanatics? Conservatives? Not these! Fundamentalists? No! These people are as much terrorists and hate-filled mongers as the Islamic terrorists they rail against.
Now, only now, is it PC to admit that no one in any sort of powerful position thought to verify the positions of those who claimed that Iraq was to blame for all the world's most frightening ills. Oh dear me they cry in astonishment, we didn't ask the questions because...well, because we believed them. Believe us now! Please, they beg. It was...It was...Not Me!
How could I, as a Republican activist until the current powerful elite came onto the ballots, have known? Was it maybe because I not only listened to Bush, I heard what he was saying and more importantly, what he was not saying? Was it maybe that he chose as his VP and other most valued support staff men of his father's age and cabinet members, some of them as far back as Reagan's staff? (Not to be construed as a slam on those two men)
The only power I have is that of my voice in my small town, in my small newspaper, and occasionally when I feel I might be heeded, as a commenter on a Republican blog. Since I'm not being paid, I see no reason to set myself up on these blogs as a dart board for the most extreme of them.
I have convinced, through gentle persuasion, many of my companions in many states of my views, and they have in turn convinced others in the same way. One voice at a time, and much to our chagrin and disappointment, most of us will be voting for many more liberal candidates in 2006 than we ever have in past elections. And yet, I've not talked to anyone who admits to having voted for Bush and other religious demi-gods again in 2004!
My Association is composed of Me and those I talk to. Not very important, are we? At least in the eyes of professional journalists, elected local and state officials (although all assure us that one vote counts), and surely not to the president.
Most importantly, why now, when we can't truly undo the damage until the election of 2008? Mr. Friedman, when you were a White House correspondent, did you speak out? Did you settle for glib answers that told you nothing?
I don't know you, so forgive my impudence.

Nengi Omuku - Gathering
Nengi Omuku, was born in 1987 in Nigeria. She has completed both a BA and MA at the Slade School of Fine art, University College London. Omuku's work is inspired by the politics of the body and the complexities that surround identity and difference. With every journey, she considers how human beings position themselves in space in relation to other beings. Foremost on her mind are the ways in which the body needs to adapt in order to belong. It is constantly selecting and gathering its identity, mentally, physically and emotionally. Omuku's work shows colored anthropomorphic forms, which stand in contrast to the scapes they inhabit. They are based on the supposition that the human figure can be transformed from its present reality, with the intention to look beneath its surface. Her artistic practice has won scholarships and awards, including the British Council CHOGM art award presented by HM Queen Elizabeth II. Commissions include arts council England to paint a mural in an intensive care psychiatric ward in Maudsley hospital, London. Solo exhibitions include Gathering, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London (2020); t a g e s o f C o llapse, September Gray, Atlanta (2017); A State of Mind, The Armory Show, New York (2016); A State of Mind, Omenka Gallery, Lagos (2015); To Figure an Encounter, Open The Gate, London (2011). Selected group exhibitions include All the Days and Nights, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London (2020); Untitled Art San Francisco, with Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, San Francisco (2020); 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, London (2019), Hospital Rooms, Griffin Gallery, London (2018); A t W o r k, Arthouse, Lagos (2018); ARTX,Lagos (2017); Commotion, 1:54, London (2017); Mapping Histories, Constructing Realities, ART15, London (2015); The Next 50 Years, Omenka Gallery, Lagos (2014) and Jerwood Drawing Prize Exhibition, Jerwood Gallery, London (2012). Omuku upcoming shows includes (Solo) Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Berlin (2021); (duo show) La Galerie, Contemporary art Center, Noisy-le-Sec (2021) Omuku lives and works in Nigeria.
A group of people sit with their backs to the viewer while in the distance a crowd of spectral figures form a wall of bodies that blends into the beige background. This haunting, textural painting, The Sit Down by Nengi Omuku, depicts a non-violent protest, which was originally inspired by three separate instances of injustice in the artist's home country of Nigeria, but the work gains new significance in the light of the tragic events currently unfolding in Lagos as peaceful protesters continue to be met with brutality. Omuku's latest body of work marks a shift in the artist's focus from the individual to the collective body and communal existence. Painted onto panels of a traditional Nigerian fabric known as Sanyan, the artworks negotiate the complexities of identity and belonging in relation to gender, race and cultural heritage. The artist's solo show entitled Gathering at Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery's London Bridge space brings together a collection of highly atmospheric and emotive scenes filled with urgency and longing.

Nengi Omuku, What was Lost, 2020
The majority of Omuku's latest artworks were inspired by local events in Lagos and the corresponding imagery circulated by the press. The powerful imagery of The Sit Down, for example,came in response to scenes of mass unemployment that ensued following the government ban on motorcycles and tricycles (the local form of public transport); the devastating collapse of a school building near the artist's studio that buried young children and for which no-one was held accountable; and the billions of Naira (Nigerian currency) that were allegedly dispensed by the government during the pandemic, which never made it to the people who needed it most. However, the charged, traumatic and affecting scenes that comprise this body of work appear now as the uncanny foreshadowings of the current protests against a corrupt branch of the Nigerian police force known as SARS, which was established in 1992 to combat armed robbery but instead became the perpetrator of widespread illegal activities. Most recently, the group captured and killed a Nigerian civilian leading to a series of high-profile peaceful protests in the central commercial district of Lagos. On Tuesday 20th October, a member of the government instructed the electricity at a major protest site to be turned off and announced a state wide curfew, but many of the protesters remained in solidarity to their cause. News footage shows these people sitting peacefully, waving the Nigerian flag and singing the national anthem. The Nigerian military were called in and opened fire at the site, injuring and killing civilians.
The exhibition's title piece Gathering echoes the scenes of real people carrying and mourning the bodies of those that they have lost whilst also drawing our attention to the multiple connotations of the word itself, the different ways in which we come together as well as the potential power and danger. Though a few portraits are included in the exhibition, the majority of the artworks specifically depict the act of 'gathering' or coming together as a collective, but nevertheless, a strong sense of absence pervades. Indeed, many of the paintings were created in lockdown, a period in which the artist was largely cut off from human interaction. As with all of her compositions, she built her scenes from a digital collage of her source imagery, specifically looking for photographs of groups of people in Nigeria and exploring new ways of coming together during the pandemic. Though the idea of a collective is suggestive of unity, strength and belonging, Omuku's moody skies and faceless figures also imbue the works with a sense of fragility and transience. In one of the most striking paintings entitled Technicolour Protest, for example, a man stands at the forefront, his arm raised and fist clenched in a moment of desperation, paint pouring from his limbs, whilst once again, the crowd stands passively watching the action unfold. This tension between movement and stillness, sound and silence, unity and disparity creates an extraordinary atmosphere of unease that permeates this whole body of work.
Adding another layer of physicality to the artworks, Omuku paints on a Nigerian fabric known as Sanyan. Traditionally, Sanyan was made from wild silk, obtained from the cocoons of moths and spun into a thick, rough fibre before being woven together to make fabric for traditional attire. Sanyan was typically worn by wealthy individuals in precolonial western Nigeria, and often owners would sign the fabric as its ownership was a symbol of prestige.
Although production of this silk cloth has fallen into decline, the fabric is still woven in certain circles using industrial cotton as a substitute. Omuku sources her material from vintage markets in an attempt to reclaim the historical significance of the cloth as well as a lost sense of pride in craftsmanship. To create her canvases, she stitches several strips together, resulting in a unique, textured surface dotted with tiny holes and imbued with a strong sense of place that relates specifically to cultural heritage and identity, which are key themes in her practice. The painting entitled Remorse, Stolen Knickers, for example, reflects on a Nigerian tradition in which the older women in a community would protest naked on the streets at times of extreme chaos or disaster. In the foreground of the artwork the two men are drawn from a real life newspaper photograph of police detaining men who had stolen women's underwear, but the artist has deliberately replaced the police presence with women who are peacefully seeking their own justice by using the powerful symbolism of their bodies.
This also links to Omuku's perception of the body 'as a site or an event centre' that is constantly changing in response to individual and collective experiences. 'I've always thought about different ways to talk about the body as multilayered as opposed to the singularity of what you see. I think about how you paint a mental space in response to what is happening within and around the body,' explained the artist. As a result, Omuku deliberately obscures the faces of her figures to avoid singularity, instead seeking to create a sense of relatability that appeals to our shared physicality and more specifically in these most recent works, to the body of the collective. In earlier paintings, the artist employed colour as a way of further abstracting her figurative forms, suggesting a more fluid and fluctuating relationship between the body, emotion and space. Whilst this sense of fluidity remains visible in the swirling movement of the brush strokes across her figures' limbs, these latest works move away from neutralised emotional spaces to politicised bodies and scenes that are culturally and socially specific. The new, darker tones of her figures and backgrounds first developed in response to the natural, rich brown colour of Sanyan, were also influenced by the photographs of Lagos which showed black bodies in her local environment. However, the works also resonate on a global level, bringing issues of race and brutality more explicitly to the forefront.
Gathering is at once a powerful expression of the troubling present moment and a poignant longing for a time when we will gather not in sadness or distress, but in happiness and celebration; a time when we are able to communicate not through violence, but peacefully, through our innate, shared humanity.

An elderly man struck by a car just five blocks from his Queens home has died of his injuries, police said Monday.
Miguel Hernandez, 88, was crossing Broadway in Astoria at about 3:15 p.m. Friday when a man driving a Toyota sedan along Crescent St. struck him at the intersection, police said. Investigators believe the driver had the green light, cops said.
The 40-year-old driver remained on the scene, and medics took Hernandez to Jamaica Hospital, where he died Saturday.
The medical examiner determined Monday that the injuries from the crash killed him, cops said.

Q: Ingress multiple paths vs multiple ingresses I have the following Ingress definition that works well (I use docker-for-mac):
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: zwoop-ing
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
  rules:
  - host: localhost
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        backend:
          serviceName: posts-api-svc
          servicePort: 8083

Where I'm confused is how I would deal with multiple api microservices that I want to expose.
The options that I had in mind:

*

*Multiple ingresses

*Single ingress with different paths

*Single ingress with different subdomains (when on the Cloud)

I assume that multiple ingresses would cost more (?).
For some reason, I have problems using a subpath segment (ingress-nginx).
When I define: - path: /api in the ingress resource, I receive a 404 on GET request.
It is unclear how to define a subpath (here I use /api, but that would be posts-api, users-api etc).
For a single posts-api, I currently have the following setup:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: posts-api-svc
  # namespace: nginx-ingress
  labels:
    app: posts-api
    #rel: beta
    #env: dev
spec:
  type: ClusterIP
  selector:
    app: posts-api
    # rel: beta
    # env: dev
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP

A:
I assume that multiple ingresses would cost more (?).

*

*Multiple ingress controllers like nginx-ingress: Yes, it would cost more if you are using an external load balancer and a cloud provider like AWS, GCP or Azure because you will be using as many load balancers as ingress controller. It would not cost more if you are using just a ClusterIP (accessing within the cluster) and it will vary if you are using a NodePort service to expose it.

*Multiple Ingress Kubernetes resources: No it would not cost more if you are using the same ingress controller.

When I define: - path: /api in the ingress resource, I receive a 404 on GET request.

This means it's going to the default backend and likely because of this annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /. Essentially, that's stripping the /api from your request that is going to your backend. If you want to preserve the path, I suggest you remove the annotation.
You can always check the nginx ingress controller nginx.conf file with something like:
$ kubectl cp <pod-where-nginx-controller-is-running>:nginx.conf .
$ cat nginx.conf

A: You don't pay per Ingress resource because an Ingress resource just defines a routing rule. Putting all the routing definitions in one Ingress file and splitting into different Ingress files can actually just result in the same rules being applied. See ingress ingress-nginx - create one ingress per host? Or combine many hosts into one ingress and reload?

DaMENSCH partners with SOS Children's Villages of India to give 100 children the #GiftOfComfort
Come the most cheerful time of the year, and the world transpires into a happy comfortable place. Unfortunately, not everyone is privileged enough to have the luxury to enjoy this comfort. With more than 30,000 children left parentless by the pandemic, is it important that we come together and work towards giving them a better future. Igniting this spirit of giving, premium men's conscious-fashion brand DaMENSCH announced its campaign Gift Of Comfort, where it will donate a part of all purchases made on its website from December 25 – January 5 to India's largest self-implementing child care NGO – SOS Children's Villages of India. The funds will be used to brighten the new year festivities of these children by providing them with better livelihood.
Each purchase made between 25th December and 5th January 2022 will be a contribution that benefits the lives of 100 children across the country. The curative programme of SOS Children's Villages of India reaches out to more than 6,500 once-parentless or abandoned girls and boys in 32 SOS Children's Villages across the country. Each children's village has 12-15 family homes, with every home consisting of 10 children on average along with an SOS Mother. All-round development, including education, nutrition, health and psychological development, is taken care of till these children are well settled in life.
Sharing his views on the noble cause, Gaurav Pushkar, Co-founder – DaMENSCH, stated, "With the pandemic hitting hard, it has become all the more important for society to come together and help communities in need. At DaMENSCH, we are inspired by the principle of living and working together for the greater common cause. This is the season of happiness and giving. This year has been challenging for many and, as a conscientious brand, we are dedicated to bringing more smiles to those in need. In line with this aim and to amplify our CSR efforts, we are proud to partner with SOS Children's Villages of India to serve parentless and abandoned girls and boys throughout India."
Commenting on the support, Mr. Sumanta Kar, Secretary General, SOS Children's Villages of India, said: "These times are extremely challenging for all of us, and more so for vulnerable children and communities. Many have lost livelihoods and children have lost parental support. We, at SOS Children's Villages of India, are extremely committed to the cause of uplifting the caregiver and, subsequently, communities to secure wholesome childcare and development for the most vulnerable. When we come, together, to serve the greater good, the impact is magnified and more expansive. We thank DaMENSCH for their support in amplifying our efforts."

Boyzone star Shane Lynch says he doesn't know how many cars he has
Boyzone star Shane Lynch and sports journalist Torie Campbell
Sat 30 Jan 2021 at 09:41
Shane Lynch has said he is never quite sure how many cars he has in his vast collection.
The Boyzone star (44) has owned models by Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes and Ferrari in recent years.
However, he said it was impossible to pinpoint what he had "on the driveway" because many of his models were being worked on all across the UK.
Outside of his work with Boyzone, the Dubliner has competed in the British GT Championship and British Drift Championship.
"My cars swap and change all the time because I'm a car lover. I'm a car nut. I'm a car enthusiast. I'm a car junkie. I have problems about cars," he said.
Lynch said he was like his mechanic father in that his car collection was constantly changing.
"I've always seen his driveways swap and change with machines, from American style to British style. He had a few German whips on there," he said.
"So my own was inherited from his love of cars. I get a crisis every few years of sell, sell, sell.
"I collect, collect and then look at them all and go sell, sell, sell and then I recollect."
Lynch said he always had at least three car builds on the go.
"They're always like six months to a year," he said, "so my car collection isn't quite direct, I can't pinpoint what's on the driveway."
Lynch has been announced as the face of the relaunched Men and Motors TV, which he will co-host with sports journalist Torie Campbell.
The channel first aired in 1996 and helped kick-start the careers of presenters including Richard Hammond and John Inverdale.
The Men and Motors channel launches on Kapang TV on Monday at 7pm


Charged with a Protective Order Violation?
As with all court orders, a protective order is especially serious. The court expects you to follow the terms and conditions of your order for as long as they are valid. When you don't, or you're accused of breaking even one part of the order, penalties can quickly escalate and seriously damage your freedom.
The Concord criminal defense lawyers at the firm have nearly a decade of collective experience handling protection order violations. They are equipped with the resources your case needs, whether this is your first offense or your third.
What happens if I violate my protective order?
Domestic violence is a common offense in North Carolina and courts seek to put an end to it by issuing protective orders. These orders restrict one person from associating with another individual, but all have their own unique requirements.
These conditions can be broken in any number of ways and all are equally destructive. Based on the circumstances surrounding your alleged violation, the court may charge you with a misdemeanor and require you to spend up to 12 months in jail. If assault or violence occurs as a result of your violation, you may be charged with a felony and face increased imprisonment.
At The Law Offices of Darrin M. Gamradt, P.C., the attorneys understand that you may be entirely innocent. Often, people are unaware that a protective order exists or did not have the extent of their order revealed to them. The Concord criminal lawyers base your defense on the assumption that you are innocent until proven guilty.
Don't wait for the court to take action before you do. Contact the firm today for nearly a decade of legal experience.

Also, the organizational offices of PFI's affiliated organizations like Rehab India Foundation, Campus Front of India (CFI), All India Imams Council, National Confederation of Human Rights Organization, National Women's Front, Junior Front and Empower India Foundation have also been closed.

In some districts, PFI leaders did not go to the trouble of opening the office on Thursday because they were afraid of the police. Police have decided to lock such offices on Friday.

Good Buy for HID. Good Sale for ACRE. But will this Hold Back Open Systems?
During the last six months we have published a number of articles relating to the growing connection between Physical Access Control, ONVIF and Identity Management. The announcement last week that HID Global will buy Mercury Security, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, could have very significant implications; Bringing forward integration & total solutions across identity management and access control. The question is will this help deliver open or proprietary systems? Lets first of all put this deal in the context of acquisitions in the physical security manufacturing industry in the last 24 months. Our records show that there has been a decline in the number of deals over this period with only 3 significant deals this year, with Mercury looking to be the highest in value. Financial details have not been released but it should have achieved an exit multiple of over 3 times its annual revenue. This is based on 9 years […]
During the last six months we have published a number of articles relating to the growing connection between Physical Access Control, ONVIF and Identity Management.
The announcement last week that HID Global will buy Mercury Security, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, could have very significant implications; Bringing forward integration & total solutions across identity management and access control. The question is will this help deliver open or proprietary systems?
Lets first of all put this deal in the context of acquisitions in the physical security manufacturing industry in the last 24 months. Our records show that there has been a decline in the number of deals over this period with only 3 significant deals this year, with Mercury looking to be the highest in value.
Financial details have not been released but it should have achieved an exit multiple of over 3 times its annual revenue. This is based on 9 years of recording M&A data analysing exit multiples. This would have realized a price of over $200m, which is big for a PACS business. Mercury, owned by ACRE, has operated as a separate business and is believed to be very profitable.
HID has a substantial market share for access credentials and readers where Mercury sells controller hardware. This enables a very strong synergy bringing new opportunities to Mercury and increasing market share for HID's niche controller business.
However Mercury's most important value is that many of the top mainstream access control vendors including Lenel, Honeywell, RS2 and Keri, integrate with the same Mercury hardware firmware, which has become a defacto 'open' architecture standard. This no doubt is a very important prize for HID Global, and could tempt them to create its own proprietary end-to-end system.
The Access Control business has remained largely insulated from the open platform revolution that IP Video Surveillance has greatly benefited from and ONVIF has so far not received the support from the PACS business that is needed to make the business an open one.
Possibly ACRE has taken the view that ONVIF will eventually win and now is the time to sell the "cash cow". Nevertheless they have been smart in selling Mercury to a solid, long-term technology partner making this a win-win for all companies involved.
HID Global's strategy is to maximise the status quo whilst it lasts and build a much stronger relationship between Identity Management business and Access Control. It would be naïve to think that they will not leverage Mecury's strengths in the meantime.
