Trump authorizes troop pay amid government shutdown

Gisele Bündchen’s family is the model of love.

Eight months after welcoming a baby boy with partner Joaquim Valente, the supermodel showed off how one of her older sons — she is also mom to son Benjamin, 15, stepson Jack, 18, and daughter Vivian, 12, with ex Tom Brady — is bonding with her little one.

In a series of photos Bündchen shared to Instagram Oct. 12, one of Bündchen’s older sons sits with his back to the camera on the bench of a grand piano, his baby brother on his lap. Both boys have their hands on the piano keys and are matching in green pants and white t-shirts.

“There’s only one thing more precious than our time…” Bündchen captioned the post, via translation. “And that’s who we spend it on.”

In addition to an image of the same quote and the sweet photo of her sons bonding, elsewhere in the carousel of images Bündchen shared was one of her and Vivian snuggling, images of a crystal, some recent meals and snapshots of the family enjoying time together outdoors.

In the carousel’s first snap, Bündchen paused a workout to take a picture of her dog, who was sitting close. Seen in the reflection of the mirror before her, the 45-year-old kept her baby close, the 7-month-old lying on a nearby baby mat.

Since welcoming her baby with Joaquim, Bündchen has shared the occasional glimpse of the baby boy, including one in July where she had her baby with her on a hike. The mother and son were both staring off at a waterfall in the distance, Gisele keeping her son strapped to her chest.

The July 23 post, which Bündchen shared as a birthday recap, also included a snap of her baby sitting next to her father, Valdir Bündchen.

In her caption, Bündchen reflected on her latest year.

“I’m so grateful for another trip around the sun and even more grateful to have spent it in nature, surrounded by love and my family,” she wrote, adding of her mother Vania Nonnenmacher, who died in January, “Today is also my mom’s birthday. We miss her deeply, but we know she’s always with us.”

And despite the ups and downs of recent years, Bündchen affirmed, “I continue to trust and welcome life with an open heart, holding gratitude for all that is still to come. Sending love to everyone.”

Trump authorizes troop pay amid government shutdown

Drew Allar came back to Penn State for his senior season determined lead the Nittany Lions to a national championship.

Now, with hopes of bringing the Nittany Lions their first NCAA football title since 1986 gone after a third-straight loss, the strong-armed quarterback will have to watch from the sidelines the rest of the way.

Allar suffered an apparent leg injury on a third-down play late in Penn State’s 22-21 loss to Northwestern on Saturday. He limped off the field with help, was replaced by backup Ethan Grunkemeyer and ruled out for the rest of the season.

“Drew will be done for the year,” Penn State coach James Franklin said.

Allar’s injury — not specified by the team — capped a three-week stretch in which the Nittany Lions fell from No. 2 in the Top 25 after losing in overtime at home to No. 3 Oregon, getting pounded by a previously winless UCLA team last week and being outplayed by Northwestern in front of another restless crowd at Beaver Stadium.

That crowd was noticeably smaller, too, as large sections of the vaunted, 40,000-seat student section were barren all night.

Wide receiver Devonte Ross, who transferred to Penn State last summer to play with Allar, was sullen afterward.

“I love Drew,” Ross said. “That’s unfortunate. It’s a tough situation just knowing him as a person and knowing how much football means to him, how much this team means to him, it’s tough but I know it’s next man up.”

The Nittany Lions (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten), will have to find some answers and will now turn to Grunkemeyer to try and lead them to a bowl game.

They have to play at Iowa next week and still have trips to No. 1 Ohio State and Michigan State. A home game against No. 7 Indiana looms, too.

Allar ends his Penn State career fourth on the school’s career passing yardage list with 7,265 yards on 620-for-982 passing with 61 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

He also carried the ball 218 times for 711 yards and 11 touchdowns.

“Ultimately it’s about the guys” Franklin said. “It’s about the guys in the locker room and they’re hurting. I’d do anything I could to take that hurt away from them, but like I told them, we’ve got to stick together, we’ve got to tune out all the noise and we’ve got to get to work.”

Trump authorizes troop pay amid government shutdown

Thousands of attendees at the USS Midway Museum got the opportunity to speak to local World War Two veterans on Saturday.

“It’s kind of embarrassing because I really didn’t do anything,” said Roberta “Randy” Tidmore, who was being modest about her service in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II.

Tidmore enlisted in 1944 and served for 2 and a half years. She was assigned to a motor transport unit at Marine Corp Base Quantico in Virginia. Before that, she also rolled up her sleeves and become a Rosie during the height of the war.

“I worked at this JIK company as a Rosie the Riveter for 9 months I think, in 1943,” said Tidmore.

The event was organized by the museum along with Honor Flight San Diego. Attendees got to speak to 10 WWII veterans on the hangar deck of the USS Midway and ask them about their service. The veterans also signed autographs and took photos with attendees.

“They’re dedicated to their country which I think is super important for everyone, especially this day and age,” said Stephanie Gallo, an attendee visiting the museum with her family.

Among the veterans sitting at the table was Al Hansen, who joined the Navy in 1943 at 16 years-old as a gunner with a Navy patrol bomber squadron in the Pacific Theater. Hansen has also volunteered every single week on the USS Midway with his wife Carol for the last 20 years.

“We came here one day and as we left, I said to Carol that I’d like to volunteer. She said, ‘What are you talking about, you haven’t volunteered for anything in your whole life!’,” said Hansen.

The meet and greet event came ahead of the Navy’s 250th birthday on October 14. The museum held a cake cutting ceremony with the veterans to honor the occasion.
