Measurement of the Mass Difference between Neutral Charm-Meson Eigenstates
(LHCb Collaboration)
We report a measurement of the mass difference between neutral charm-meson eigenstates using a novel approach that enhances sensitivity to this parameter. We use 2.3×106 D0→KS0π+π- decays reconstructed in proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011 and 2012. Allowing for CP violation in mixing and in the interference between mixing and decay, we measure the CP-averaged normalized mass difference xCP=[2.7±1.6(stat)±0.4(syst)]×10-3 and the CP-violating parameter Δx=[-0.53±0.70(stat)±0.22(syst)]×10-3. The results are consistent with CP symmetry. These determinations are the most precise from a single experiment and, combined with current world-average results, yield the first evidence that the masses of the neutral charm-meson eigenstates differ.

New brief says city must stop plans to raze East River Park
Opponents of the city's plan to demolish East River Park provided an update on their lawsuit in a new brief filed yesterday.
Via the EVG inbox:
Without state oversight, New York City could demolish East River Park and build a levee but would not be obliged to return the entire 1.2 mile riverfront to parkland. The city could also exceed its five-year construction timeline.
Those are two of the reasons why state oversight is needed for the massive $1.45 billion flood control project, says a brief filed July 20. The document is a response to the city's argument that state approval is not needed.
The lawsuit, East River Park Action et al v City of New York, originally filed in February, asks to halt the East Side Coastal Resiliency project that is scheduled to begin this fall. It also asks to declare the City Council vote last November approving the project "null and void."
Attorney Arthur Schwartz with the nonprofit Advocates for Justice argues in July 20's 42-page brief that the city is required to seek Alienation from the state. Alienation is the use of parkland for non-park purposes, even for brief periods.
Schwartz notes that "Closing the East River Park, whether completely or in phases, will disproportionately affect the health and well-being and recreational opportunities of low-income New Yorkers who live in the neighborhood around the Park."
Schwartz, a West 12th Street resident, previously filed lawsuits against the city's 14th Street Busway.
You can read more about Alienation of Parkland, the basis of the lawsuit, at this link.
Last November, City Council signed off on the hotly contested flood-protection plan that will bury/elevate East River Park by eight feet as part of the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project. Construction is now expected to start this fall.
Meanwhile, tomorrow night, there's a candlelight vigil set for the Park.
"We are gathering in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, specifically against the ecocide that continues to harm Black and Indigenous lives globally; to grieve the thousands of lives, neighbors and loved ones lost to COVID'19; and to come together in protection of land, trees, and the wellness of our community on the Lower East Side," says vigil organizer Emily Johnson, an artist in residence at Abrons Arts Center and a land and water protector from the Yup'ik Nation.
"In the center of a pandemic the city will destroy the Lower East Side's only large outdoor green space for wellness and exercise, raise toxic dust and cut down 1,000 trees, reducing air quality and putting residents — especially elders and those who are immunocompromised — at greater risk for and with COVID-19," says Johnson.
The procession starts at 7 p.m. at the Abrons Arts Center amphitheater. Details and directions at this link.

I don't want the East River Park to change, but I don't understand how we can really argue against the necessity of this project. If the purpose to protect Manhattan against floods due to rising sea levels, we kind of have to do it don't we?
I'm fine with arguing for more concrete requirements to return it to parkland once it's raised, or the timeline, or specifics, but other than that it seems like denying climate change for the sake of nostalgia. I may be wrong.
(Somewhat unrelated, but why would anyone be against the 14th street bus lane, hasn't that been a success and a step towards a Manhattan with less cars/traffic?)
They won't cancel this "project", the corruption around it is too deep.
OTOH, the city now has no money, so how are they going to pay for this project? I'm betting it gets "postponed" (AKA cancelled). Then it's an item for a future mayor.
@Alpha - no one is denying climate change or saying flood protection is not necessary. There was an original plan agreed upon that would have installed flood protection while preserving and improving much of the park. Then BDB decided to scrap that plan without any community consultation in order to give this contract to his cronies. It's too long to go into here, but this 'plan' that he is currently pushing is nothing more than corruption and doesn't even offer the short or long-term benefits of the original plan. This has nothing to do with flood protection and everything to do with preserving the FDR and real estate interests.
The previous plan didn't involve razing the park, there were barriers under/next to the FDR. They decided to raise the park over shutting down a lane on the FDR.
I really hope they cancel this project the East River Park has been a savior for me to get out of my apartment during the NYC shutdown and walk along the river bank and sit in a shady area to gaze at the green murky river water and watch the different boats like the sail boats and jet skies go by. All the residents of the City and especially the EV/LES need this park as a peaceful refuge to escape to.
Schwartz's argument was that it would cause pollution on side streets near 14th, like the one he lives on in a multi-million dollar home. It was pure NIMBY-ism with altruistic window dressings.
I think the best argument I've heard about storm protection is to reconsider the model: make the FDR a tunnel which serves as a stormwall and provides better pedestrian access to the park
This lawsuit will go nowhere
I second Alpha Whiskey's point but with less patience for this group. No one wants to rip up parkland, but does this group understand climate change? Were they not here during Sandy when it was those living in NYCHA and people of color who were disproportionately affected by the flooding? For Christ's sake, choose your battles. It's not ideal no - but you know what's worse? Thousands of people losing their homes and livelihoods to floods - which WILL happen and cannot be restored - where's your park then? If this group would just consider science and reason once in while instead of constantly looking for a fight with the City. How about supporting some of these measures instead of holding them up? This whole group stopped thinking progressively past 1987.
If they have money allocated for this colossal mistake, the city can utilize that money to assist NYC during the COVID crisis instead of ripping apart something so treasured and beloved.
@10:12am: I live on one of those side streets, and I DON'T live in a multi-million-dollar home, not even close! Plenty of renters live on these streets, and Schwartz is 100% correct that the 14th St. busway has shifted a lot more traffic onto 12th and 13th Streets. That is a FACT (one of those inconvenient things!). I see the effects of the busway every day, right outside my window.
I really hope they just build a wall or whatever instead. Seems egregious to completely demolish all the natural nature that has developed over so many years.
It will become a fake, over-policed park like the West Side Highway. It's not the same feel.
WHy can't they just build a wall right next to the FDR? Why even have to shut down a lane of the vital roadway? There's gotta be a way.
Definitely read up on the controversy going forward, because it is an important decision to be made by the city. It is not a case of this project v no project. It is this project compared to a different project, both which will provide protection to the LES from future storm surges. In fact, the original project appears on its face to be more protective. But the original project will keep the park open during construction AND costs hundreds of millions of dollars less.
And I almost forgot, the original project would have been completed much earlier than this new project. Providing protection years ahead of the current schedule.
If there is one thing we have learned from BLM, it is that direct action works. With the park closing, a very bad idea during the second wave in the fall, can we expect to see results from sulky leaders after a series of strident and determined sit ins, roadway blockages, civil disobedience on the precious FDR?
NYC is not only besieged by corruption and greed, it is in quite a precarious spot with many businesses still shut down aside its unemployed residents. Neighbors alike with merchants should be able to seek aid and assistance with billions of dollars already directed towards the raising of East Side River Park. We have so many going off a cliff with famine and homelessness on the horizon unless we are granted stimulus from the government. To my understanding this was federally supported and mandated by Mayor DeBlassio who is apparently an ardent proponent of its demolition. Shocking, right? Pardon my french, but he doesn't give two shits about the people in our city, our police force, especially those of whom in our community that consider this park to be a beautiful and much needed respite. We only have so many places to escape against the buildings, the summer humidity, and the quarantine fever we are all facing. Given the state of our city, I fear what it will look like if this goes through. There has to be another way to address coastal flooding without destroying precious land. Why can't we contact Holland and see what mechanisms they have adopted since most of that county is below sea level.

At one of the info sessions a while back, I was told by one of the engineers that the assumption is that the park is going to flood in the next 20 years or so (from memory) and we will lose most of the existing old trees anyway. We lost many during Sandy due to salt water inundation. Also one of their mandates is to provide ball fields that will be protected from flood water. Also, budgeting...usually you don't just get to move money earmarked for one thing over to something else. Federal money is allocated for this and the city does have to put some in too, but we'd lose the fed money if we don't do the project. Last I heard there was a deadline to use it.
Personally I'd rather have a park that can flood, and absorb & protect the neighborhood. But you'd have to spend $$ re-doing the ball fields each time that happened. Or not have ball fields, and apparently those aren't acceptable outcomes.
With the new budget crisis (thank you Mayor De Idioso) it is doubtful they can save the city from the rising tide of crime let alone the rising tide.
and all the NYCHA buildings are getting separate flood protection being built right now.

Cutting down thousands of trees and gutting the areas largest green space to deal with the effects of climate change- sounds like a plan!
This is the worst plan out of all the plans to protect the LES and EV. This is the plan that has no community input or engagement, and that will produce the most net carbon emissions and most negative impact on local health. The number of mature trees and biodiversity that will be destroyed is jaw dropping. But overall, to close sections of the park and start construction DURING AN ACTIVE PANDEMIC is INSANE. That this terrible plan is going forward IN SEPTEMBER shows how little Carlina Rivera, Margaret Chin or Bill de Blasio care about the communities who currently live in the LES and EV. It really feels like they just want to clear us out, ruthlessly, to make room for a wave of real estate developers who think that an ugly sterile seawall with a few tiny trees might add any value to the area. Remember this travesty when you vote!
We are hip to the manipulation of political and real estate interest. Don't let them destroy the park for new buildings for a view. No to desecration of our beloved park. you won't shave off ten blocks off of Central park. Sad.
if you find yourself on the size of schwartz... you're probably a NIMBY
the park is not being "destroyed", it's being rebuilt

VW's sleek new CC replacement wants to tackle premium territory with its desirable exterior and a tad more upmarket cabin compared to the regular Passat upon which it's heavily based. To further set it apart from its more humble origins, the folks from Wolfsburg are analyzing the prospects of giving it six-cylinder power — something which you can't have in a Euro-spec Passat.
The reveal was made by Dr. Elmar-Marius Licharz, the company's man in charge of product line for medium and fullsize cars. He went on to specify they're considering a six-cylinder Arteon and a prototype with the beefier engine has already been built, so there's a good chance it will get the stamp of approval from the execs.
Interestingly, he also said the newly developed engine in question will also find its way underneath the hood of the Atlas. Bear in mind that although the big SUV is already available with a V6 engine, it's a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter mill with only 276 horsepower. The new six-cylinder Licharz is talking about is most likely turbocharged, so it delivers substantially more power and better fuel economy.
As a reminder, the Arteon starts off in its domestic market Germany from €49,325 and that makes it approximately €3,000 more expensive than the equivalent Passat with the 280-hp 2.0 TSI engine. The CC's successor is scheduled to land stateside in 2018.

What a week it's been. Rain, rain, rain! Housebound for days with water lapping the front doorstep and occasionally trying to make a splash across the living room. Almost needed a boat to get out of our alley. A mistake to rent in the low end of town!
Anyway it was good to get out and crawl some galleries on Sunday and Monday even if the motor bike stalled in a vast expanse of deep, brown water and we had to push it for a km or two and we nearly drowned in the downpours.

Seconds later, a series of high-pitched chirps ricocheted off a nearby concrete wall, an indication that the test worked.

Fifty Years after the Sit-Ins
The Center for the Study of Race and Law at the University of Virginia Law School announces the conference "Fifty Years after the Sit-Ins: Reflecting on the Role of Protest in Social Movements and Law Reform." It will be held at the Law School, January 28-30, 2010. Early bird registration closed December 15.
Among the scheduled events are the following panels:
The Sit-Ins
This panel will focus on the student sit-ins that were initiated on February 1, 1960, in Greensboro, North Carolina, and spread across the south and nation. The panel will include law professors, historians and civil rights activists who were either personally involved in the sit-in movement or who have studied them. Questions may include what led to the sit-ins, what were their objectives and strategies, and what was their most direct impact.

This new monthly column on my blog is going to deal with fashion ideas and trends that I don't really buy into. Most of the time, it will involve me trying a different trend that I would have never tried before. It will also, occasionally include posts about color, print and texture pairings that we wouldn't usually think about putting together. Once in a while, I might use this monthly column to discuss ideas in the fashion world that I find hard to swallow. I hope you will enjoy this new column and I would love to hear from you. If you have an idea of a trend or fashion style you would like me to feature as something you are not used to wearing or don't have any idea how to style, this will be a good platform for that as well. You can leave me your ideas in a comment here on the blog or send me a Facebook message.
This week, I decided to try a trend that I have seen come and go on the runways: wearing pajama pants as part of an outfit. I'm sure we are all used to the idea of pajama pants as something we put on before we go to bed, or something we put on when we want to lounge around the house, but wearing a pair of pj pants out in public...uh, no! Okay, so I get it. I see more and more people running to Walmart and the grocery store with their fuzzy pajama pants on, but that is hardly stylish, let alone, something a stylish 50 something year old would wear to work or out to dinner. Remember, we are doing a fashion blog to help ourselves and you look and feel better, not end up imitating a walking pile of laundry.
I found these striped pajama pants at a thrift store. They are Sonoma brand and a size large. If I do this again, I think I will try to go down a size and see if I like that look better. Sizing really depends on what you want to do with them and what look you are going for. If the only thing you are going to do with the pants is watch tv and get cozy, then by all means size up. The roomier the better. But for a sleeker, more stylish look it might be better to have the pants fit a little tighter. Let me know what you think.
For this first look, I paired the pants with my Paris graphic tee, a Loft green cardigan, Keds gray sneakers and an olive American Eagle bag. Here is another option on the Loft cardigan. I also added my pearl, velvet and silver choker as well as a pearl bracelet.
For the next casual look, I swapped out the graphic tee for a long sleeve Mossimo tee from Target. Here is a bell sleeve one. I did the front tuck to give a little more definition to my waist. Over the top I have on a heavy weight Liz Claiborne button up, that works great as a light weight jacket. I am wearing my SO taupe ankle boots and carrying a Nine & Co. bright blue tote.
I also added a silver and blue chain necklace as well as a green cocktail ring.
The next two outfits I dressed up a little bit more. These would be good for work or even for a date night, if your hubby doesn't mind being seen in public with you wearing a pair of pajama pants. Ha, ha.
In the first look I am wearing a navy crocheted top that I bought a few years ago at Christopher and Banks. It is more of a tunic, but I decided to tuck the top in and add a belt to give me a more defined waistline. I think this is a good idea when your pants are more bulky or billowy.
The belt is a simple crocheted number that is stretchy. For jewelry I just added a neutral beaded necklace to pull in the colors of the shoes, belt and bag. The bag was a recent find on the Kohl's clearance rack. It is Madden brand. Here is the same one from Nordstrom on sale. I got a better deal at Kohl's, but clearance is what it is. When it is gone, it is gone.
These SO peep toe heels are another recent find from Kohl's clearance. Here is another pair from Kohl's that is very similar. I am looking forward to warmer temps (and painting my toenails, of course), so I can wear these more.
Even though my top is navy and matches the navy in my bottoms, I've got some print mixing going on. See how I did that? Print mixing is not always about color. It can also happen with textures and the weave of fabrics.
This second dressy look is, perhaps my favorite. This outfit uses a button up top from JC Penney and a thrifted suiting piece, that I'll just call a vest. It is more like a blazer vest. You'll get what I mean if you know what a coat vest is. If not, don't worry about it. For the purpose of this post it is a vest.
I think this is one classy outfit and yes, I am wearing pajama pants. Ha, ha. In addition to the button up, which has fish on it (more print mixing), and the vest, I added a beaded necklace and bracelets with an olive hue. I also grabbed my velvet clearance find from Meijer. This is Wallflower brand. Such a cute bag, and I don't care that it is velvet, I'll be using it in the spring! My loafer heels were the last touch.
What do you think? Would you wear pajama pants as part of an outfit? I think this is a great idea, especially for summer, when you need something cool and light. I think part of the process in figuring out if a pair of pj bottoms are good for style wear is to see how they fit and what sort of outfit you can make out of them. I personally would not wear my Eeyore pajama pants, but this striped pair or maybe a plaid, why not!
I hope you enjoyed this post and that it gave you a new perspective on those cozy duds we wear to bed!
Here are a few fun options. How would you style these into an outfit? This post contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own.
Friday linking up with Nancy of Nancy's Fashion Style, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, Jo-Lynne of Jo-Lynne Shane and Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots. Saturday linking up with Rena of It's All Fine. Whatever Tickles the Fancy.
Continuing my series on layering, I wanted to look at several different ways of adding layers without adding bulk. A vest is a perfect choice for adding warmth around your core, but still allowing you to show off those fancy sleeves.
Fancy sleeves are all the rage right now. Bell sleeves, laced sleeves and sleeves with layers of ruffles can be found in many of our frequented retailers. By wearing a vest, you give yourself an extra layer of warmth, and let your pretty sleeves show off.
Since velvet is very trendy right now, I wanted to show off this top that I have worn on the blog before. You can see that post here. This pretty bell sleeve top is Notations brand, which is sold at various retailers including Target. Mine was thrifted.
This picture shows the sleeve up close. Isn't the pattern pretty? I love the black background with the pink flowers. It is a true winter floral. This pic also shows my green clutch. I decided on green for the clutch and jewelry to pull in the little bit of green in the leaves on the top.
The faux leather skirt is Worthington brand which is sold at JC Penney. Mine was thrifted. I never really had an interest in getting a leather or faux leather skirt until I saw Jodie from Jodie's Touch of Style do a post showing off hers. I'm glad I made this purchase. You can see a couple of Jodie's posts on styling leather skirts here and here.
Instead of tights I wore heavier leggings. Once again, another way to keep warm.
The long black vest I got at TJ Maxx and it is brand called harve bernard. Kohl's sells this brand also. As you can see the vest is knee length and has a slight open weave. This will be a good add on piece for fall, winter and spring.
I didn't even realize until I looked at the inside of this boot for the brand that these were Ralph Lauren. No wonder I like them! They are leather, look nice and are comfortable. Win!
Do you like to wear a vest for added warmth in the winter? How would you style your vest? I'd love to hear your ideas in the comments. section. I always appreciate your feed back and support.
For the final installment in this series on wearing vests in the summer I wanted to show how to style two different shorter knit vests. While knits can be great for keeping us warm in the cooler months, we don't have to leave them in our closets over the summer. By choosing lighter weight pieces to style them with, we can still have fun wearing our cozy vests. Both of the following looks are more casual.
This light pink, zip up vest is another of my Christopher and Banks finds. I went for a subdued look with the khaki Bermuda shorts (Christopher and Banks), and taupe ankle boots, bringing in a pop of bright pink in my short sleeve sweater and bag.
The vest has a subtle textural pattern over its entirety. The short sleeve sweater (thrifted, Ralph Lauren) also provides texture. Different textures allow pattern mixing without having to worry about clashing colors.
I kept the jewelry simple with my gray pendant necklace and a few gray bracelets.
A friend gave me this Vera Bradley bag for my birthday a couple years ago. It's the perfect companion for this outfit.
I could have worn sandals, which would be expected for a summer outfit, but in keeping with thinking outside the box I opted for my SO brand ankle boots.
This knit vest by Chaps, I got at Kohl's at the end of the winter season. Isn't it a great summer piece? I styled it with a navy tee (Christopher and Banks) and white capris (Coldwater Creek)for a crisp warm weather look.
You can see the vest detail in this picture. The different weave, the cardigan feel, and the shawl type collar make a cozy statement, no matter when it is worn.
I chose to only add this light yellow flower pendant necklace for jewelry.
I've used this bag numerous times on the blog. It just adds a touch of class to so many different outfits.
This time I went with sandals. They seem to dress up this outfit just enough.
Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments section below. I always love to read your feedback. It helps me know what you like, as well as gives me a boost! Ha, ha.
Be sure to check back Thursday for my look at a few summer sweaters on the Piece Perfect column.

I have always liked to wear vests. I know for some women, vests just aren't a piece of clothing they consider wearing. Today, however there are so many more options. Rather than the structured denim and stiff cotton fabrics of my childhood, vests come in all manner of materials, lengths and styles. In this series I would like to show you a variety of vest types and ways to style each of them for the summer months.
This week I am featuring a vest with an asymmetrical hem line. Asymmetrical means that the hem is not the same all the way around. This vest is shorter in the front and longer in the back. This vest is Say What? brand which can be found a numerous retailers including Target, Macy's and Kohl's. I know I found this on clearance, but I actually can't remember where. Ha, ha. My brain just isn't what it used to be!
The looks in this series will revolve around a more casual style. This outfit would be perfect for work.
For this look I wore a pair of checked ankle pants that are New York & Co brand. Here is a cute polka dot pair.
I wanted to keep the palette a soft neutral so I chose an off white Faded Glory tee that I've had for a few years. Here is a cute lace front one from Walmart.
For accessories I just threw on a couple of beaded necklaces that drew in the soft pinks, grays and tans of the vest.
I found this bag at one of my favorite thrift stores called Savers. The brand is New Directions which is found at the retailer Belk. Here is a similar one currently in stock. I bought the bag because I loved the soft hobo bag styling and the buttery rum color. I'm sure I'll be using this in the fall.
You've seen these cute SO flats before that I got at Kohl's. I loved them so much that I ordered two more pairs, a light blue and a floral. They will probably show up on the blog sooner or later! Click here to see these and many other colors.
The open weave of this vest makes it a perfect addition to a summer outfit, but I can see styling it with long sleeves, skinny jeans and boots for fall. Do you like vests? How do you like to wear yours?

The NZ Technology Industry Association is looking for a charismatic, dynamic and energetic CEO to lead change for the industry over the next three years.
Hands up if you want to influence change for a $20 billion technology industry, the New Zealand Technology Industry Association (NZTech) is looking for a new CEO.
You need to have lofty goals, have charisma and passion. You also need to dynamic, energetic and capable.
Bennett Medary, Chair of New Zealand Technology Industry Association (NZ Tech) and founder and Chair of kiwi tech company, SimplHealth says: "NZTech has lofty goals, so we need someone with the passion, charisma and commitment to match. We especially want to hear from applicants who have a vision for a tech-enhanced NZ and their ideas on the kinds of projects we should be pursuing over the next three years," Medary says.
According to current NZ Tech CEO Candace Kinser, going forward, one of the biggest challenges facing the industry is getting the education up to speed.
The education system is currently ill-equipped to handle the tide of change sweeping the technology world.
A top priority is setting the education sector on course so that it can support the emerging hi-tech industries, she says.
"It means ensuring technology education becomes recognised as much as math and science.
"Technology education is also not just about using ipads in school, or the internet to do homework. It means incorporating technology as a subject, across the education system. It also means teaching about how technology is applied, also technology as a career option for young people," Kinser says, adding that it also means ensuring teachers who teach know the subject well.
The world is changing rapidly and yet as a country, New Zealand is falling by the wayside in how the education sector is meeting the needs of industries who need to need skills to compete.
Kinser notes there is also work to be done in getting the government to scope out what skills and talent are needed over the next five to 10 years, and to work on immigration policies to attract talent here.
Over the last three years, NZTech has raised the profile of the technology sector, but there is more work to do.
Kinser, who has held the CEO role for three years, says she has loved every minute of her time with NZTech and achieved everything she was hoping to do; but before she leaves, she will be helping NZTech in the search for her replacement.
"Simply put - there's no better job in the New Zealand technology industry to build networks, work with senior government leaders, support growing companies and make a real impact on the sector," says Kinser.
NZTech is now in its sixth year of existence and continues to be the top industry association for the sector with over 100 member organisations ranging from government agencies to universities and major corporates to start-ups.
NZTech's mission is to promote the growth of the technology industry in New Zealand by taking a leadership role on behalf of members, through direct communication with government leaders, the media, other sector groups and the public, both locally and abroad.

Chyra Love
We did it ya'll! Our Black vote counted and now we got a Vice President who looks like me. Let me say it again - The first Black woman is VP. Okay, let me break it down: Kamala Harris is the first highest-ranking African/South Asian American female elected official in United States history. And she went to a HBCU; And she's from the Bay, yeee! Hold on - we can't give it up to Vice President Harris without recognizing Shirley Chisholm upon whose shoulders she stands.
Fact: Mrs. Chisholm was thee first Black Congresswoman to serve on the House Rules Committee and to ever run for president. She'll forever be remembered as as a woman who dared to be a catalyst for change.
Now let's get to know our new vice president. She and her sister Maya were born and raised in Oakland, California but moved to Montreal, Canada at the age of 12. Her mother Shyamala Gopalan was from India and her father Donald J. Harris was from Jamaica. Her husband Doug Emhoff is now the second gentleman of the United States and his two children Ella and Cole call Vice President Harris "Momala."
Harris attended Howard University, joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., and graduated with a degree in political science and economics. She returned to California to attend the University of California, Hastings College of Law and received a Juris Doctor in 1989. Harris served as District Attorney of San Francisco from 2004-2011, followed by California Attorney General where she won a $20 billion settlement for California homeowners affected by the foreclosure crisis. She also helped win marriage equality for all Californians and prosecuted transnational gangs.
As a U.S. Senator endorsed by President Barack Obama, Harris served on several committees before deciding to enter the presidential race. Her withdrawal gave way to her becoming Joe Biden's running mate and on November 3, 2020 she let the world know, "we did it, we did it Joe. You're going to be the next president of the United States." The rest is herstory in the making. All I can say is watch (snap) her (snap) work (snap)!
"At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else." - Shirley Chisholm.

Intriguing work of art transforms Norwich Cathedral's Hostry

Visitors to Norwich Cathedral's Hostry are being greeted by an intriquing piece of art.

Shucky, Hintut? is the creation of artists Alida Sayer and Nicole Vinokur, and sees visitors come face to face with a curious wall of ropes which has transformed the exhibition space.
Alida said the installation, which has also seen the building's interior columns painted red, was designed to be playful and encourage people to interact with the Hostry in a new way.
She said: 'Originally we were invited to do a two-person show which conventionally would consist of a few works by each artist, but when we visited the space we felt it was quite a complex space with lots of textures and features, and we wanted to do something really bold that would really use the space [as part of the work] and transform the way people move around it.'
She said it was interesting to see the many different reactions from people to the work.
'We wanted to challenge people's paths through the space. It makes you look at it from a different perspective,' said Alida, who has a studio at Outpost Studios in Norwich.
As well as being inspired by the Hostry itself, the abstract work also features a number of other local references.
It takes its name from Norfolk dialect, with 'shucky' meaning shaggy or unkempt or hairy and 'hintut' meaning isn't it?, and it plays on the myth of the dog Black Shuck.
The idea of the ropes is a nod to how Normandy stone was laboriously hauled along a canal built by monks to build Norwich Cathedral, and it also aims to reflect the history of the textile industry locally.
There are also references to further afield, with the artists also saying they were inspired by the use of screens they encountered on trips to South Korea and China.
Nicole, who is based in London, said: 'Shucky, Hintut? is a culmination of ideas involving both of our time spent in Asia last year and responding to the invitation to make work in Norwich and its specific history...In a sense Shucky, Hintut? distills a number of interests and concerns which are and aren't entirely specific but is an offering of points to rest upon.'
Both artists studied at the Royal College of Art and last year they exhibited work separately in the Incunabula exhibition at Norwich Cathedral's library.
Shucky, Hintut? is at Norwich Cathedral's Hostry until September 1.

Nevada Outlaws Get Free Newspaper Fame- for Weeks!
Who says journalism is dead? Pshaw! It's merely focused now on the seedier aspects of life and living, displaying alleged outlaws for all to see!
Mugshot photo galleries are increasingly popular features on newspaper websites, which are on blitzing crusades for ever more page views and the advertising revenue that accompanies additional eyeballs.
Big newspaper dailies still hanging around, like New York's Newsday and the Chicago Tribune, have also quickly caught on to the trend. Mugshot mania is especially prevalent in Florida, where liberal public-records laws make it easier to obtain these photos.
"It's a huge traffic driver for us," says Roger Simmons, digital-news manager for the Orlando Sentinel, where mug shots garner about 2.5 million page views a month, 6% of the site's total. The Palm Beach Post estimates its online police blotter, which streams its own ads, drew half of the site's 45 million page views.
And Las Vegas has long been the home of local weekly tabloid magazines that display page after page of photographs taken of partygoers in the nightclubs and casinos, partying themselves into oblivion. It's worked like magic for them, drawing in readers and advertisers, so why not a theme on a variation?
That's the thought of the new kid on the Nevada block, Max Cannon, another publisher of the bleary-eyed and stupefied mugshots. He's the founder of Florida-based SafeCITY Publishing, which for $1 offers readers a non-traditional newspaper, Local Mugshots, a brazen photo compendium of people arrested in Nevada for all sorts of nefarious and not so dastardly alleged crimes, including drugs, gang activity, DUIs, sexual crimes- or maybe just an expired driver's license, much to the chagrin of many.
After being published in 25 cities across the U.S. – boasting 208 fugitive apprehensions nationwide since 2007 – Cannon has now focused his crosshairs on Nevada, creating the first West Coast version of the publication that has been around for about eight months. About 15,000 to 20,000 copies are distributed to 80 locations throughout Clark and Washoe counties in Nevada every two to three weeks. In Las Vegas, it is available at most 7-Eleven, AM/PM and Fills locations, and the distributor is working on increasing its presence to about 20 more locations.
Canon, who started the publication about nine years ago in Tennessee, can't say for certain why it's been so popular, but conjectures that it's the possibility of recognizing someone. "There's a good likelihood that at some point in time, they're going to see someone that they're going to see someone they went to school with or with, as opposed to watching something on America's Most Wanted," he says.
Stephen Bates, a UNLV journalism professor who teaches media law, begs to differ, feeling it is doing more harm than good. "It seems a little irresponsible to feature people who have been arrested and not been charged with any crime. It's tarnishing people's reputations."

Las Vegas Sun Newspaper Continues Staff Bloodletting
On Nov. 11, Las Vegas Backstage Access was one of the first media sources to break the story that Michael J. Kelley, 67, managing editor of Las Vegas Sun since 1997 and in the news biz since 1960, would be retiring from his post this December.
Well, it's December and from credible sources we're hearing that the behind the scenes, camera shy, but dogmatic Kelley is retiring this week. Timing is everything.
Curiously, though, no news on when or if a pink carpet or anything similar is planned. But maybe that's all for the better, what with all the Las Vegas CityCenter opening galas this week attendance would probably be low at the bon voyage happening- and perhaps for another reason…
What we learned from Valerie's Miller's article today in the Review-Journal is that at least 20 Greenspun Media Group (publisher of the Las Vegas Sun) employees occurred yesterday, Dec. 1.
Interestingly, the lion's share of layoffs were focused mainly on Las Vegas Sun staffers- Kelley's "people" you might say. Layoffs reportedly included at least 15 Las Vegas Sun staffers, an In Business Las Vegas editor and reporter, two Las Vegas Weekly staffers, a couple of support personnel and an unknown number of online employees, according to Miller's sources. Names of personnel were not provided.
The reorganization of the continually dessiminated organization and layoffs were announced Tuesday in a statement released by Brian Greenspun, the Greenspun Media Group Chairman, who said his company will "reorganize into a single location, with the goal of fully integrating print and interactive operations."
So nicely said by the lawyer-trained kingpin, don't you think? What really happens only time – and money – will tell.
Greenspun, however, who reportedly spends much time outside his Las Vegas office and Nevada, plans to combine the operations and staffs of its daily newspaper, tucked in the folds of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and the Las Vegas Sun Web site and the tabloid style Las Vegas Weekly, Las VegasWeekly.com, In Business Las Vegas, Las Vegas Magazine, Vegas Magazine and Vegas2Go.
That's a tall combo order to trim from an already large media waistline and especially for the publishing industry that is among the hardest hit business segments in our recession– regardless if you're lucky enough to have won the Pulitzer Prizer, as the Sun did earlier this year.

Greenspun Media Group Empire in Las Vegas Continues to Crumble
The Greenspun Media Group empire continued to shrink Wednesday with the announcement that the company was suspending publication of two of Southern Nevada's oldest community newspapers, the Henderson Home News and Boulder City News.
The news follows Tuesday's report that Greenspun has pulled the plug on its "News One at 9" broadcast on Las Vegas One television channel and last week's cancellation of 702.tv, a Las Vegas-based news and entertainment video Web site that has been up for the past four months.
The Boulder City News was established in 1937, when Boulder Dam was being built, and has a circulation of 7,500, according to the Nevada Press Association.
Henderson Home News was established in 1951 and has 27,600 circulation.
Both publications are owned by Greenspun Media, a family business founded by the late Hank Greenspun more than 60 years ago.
Media advertising revenues have dropped substantially in the past 18 months, as soaring unemployment and declining retail sales have forced cuts in marketing budgets. Newspapers across the country have closed or imposed significant cuts in the face of the advertising crisis.
"Given the present environment, we sadly have no choice but to take a break from the community newspaper business," Bruce Deifik, president of Greenspun Corp., said in a company statement. "We apologize to our communities for the suddenness of this news, and we hope our many loyal readers will now turn to our websites and our other outstanding publications for their news needs."
While scaling back its local newspaper enterprise, Greenspun will continue to deliver local news content through its LasVegasSun.com Web site, affiliated interactive media and other regional publications, Deifik said.
Greenspun still publishes the Las Vegas Sun via a joint operating agreement with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Other Greenspun print holdings include Las Vegas Magazine, Las Vegas Weekly, Vegas Magazine and In Business Las Vegas, along with the Niche Media group of 12 lifestyle magazines. The Greenspun family also owns Vegas.com and has a substantial interest in KTUD-TV Channel 14.I
In recent years the Greenspun Media Group, as well as many other media organizations around the U.S., have concentrated on the development of online and interactive media.
"We'll still be delivering local news and information. The only difference is that it won't be on newsprint," says Deifik.

SD Farms Plays Valiente In World Polo League All Star Challenge Final Sunday At Grand Champions CoCo Cabana Stadium
Polo NewsNorth America
Defending champion Valiente will meet SD Farms in the championship of the World Polo League's All Star Challenge Sunday at 4 p.m. at Grand Champions Polo Club.
Valiente (Bob Jornayvaz 2, Diego Cavanagh 9, Poroto Cambiaso 4, Adolfo Cambiaso 10) and SD Farms (Sayyu Dantata 2, Santi Torres 7, Guillermo Terrera 8, Juan Martin Zubia 8) survived the 10-team, single-elimination tournament.
Cambiaso and Torres were members of last year's winning team.
Last year's inaugural All Star Challenge winner was Valiente (Agustin Nero, Santi Torres, Pablo MacDonough, Poroto Cambiaso) after defeating Colorado (Rob Jornayvaz, Juan Martin Zubia, Rodrigo Andrade, Jero del Carril), 10-9 in overtime. MacDonough was MVP.
SD Farms and Valiente advanced into the final after two hard-fought semifinal games on Thursday and Friday.
SD FARMS 12, SEMINOLE CASINO 8
In the opening semifinal on Thursday at Valiente Polo Farm, Seminole Casino (Melissa Ganzi 0, Nic Roldan 8, Lucas James 8, Alejandro Novillo Astrada 8) started with a 2-0 lead on handicap but it didn't take long for SD Farms to make up the deficit.
Dantata scored the first two goals to tie the game with 3:14 left. James scored his team's first goal from the field to regain the lead, 3-2. The teams battled back and forth which resulted in a 5-5 second chukker.
The next four chukkers was all SD Farms with Torres' goal giving them a 6-5 lead. Zubia hit back-to-back goals for an 8-5 halftime lead.
Seminole Casino had its share of scoring opportunities but was unable to capitalize. SD Farms maintained at least a two-goal advantage throughout the second half.
The game was stopped with 6:56 left in the fifth chukker when Dantata was hit by a mallet on the right elbow. He was attended by trainers and returned to the game.
"A small price to pay," Dantata said with a smile. "The mallet hit the muscle and not the bone. I'll be fine for the final."
Dantata said the semifinal provided a challenge for his team which has dominated the tournament including its opening 12-2 win over Sebucan.
"It was a tough game and they were a tough team," Dantata said. "They gave us a run for our money, up and down the field. In the beginning we told each other to take it easy, stay calm and keep pushing. It pays to understand the game plan."
Last year SD Farms (Sayyu Dantata, Santi Torres, Guillermo Terrera, Adolfo Cambiaso) won the Palm Beach Open, the first 26-goal tournament victory in team history. Cambiaso was MVP.
"I am quite excited to be in another final," Dantata said. "We have a nice team. How could I ask for better players?"
Terrera played a key role in his team's victory.
"We knew it was going to be a really tough game," said Terrera. "We were two goals down from the beginning and we tried to go into the game focused 100 percent to score quickly and we did it.
"We played to the chemistry of the team, moving the ball around and it went pretty well. The final is going to be a tough one."
Terrera and Zubia each had four goals, Dantata scored three goals and Torres added one. Roldan led Seminole Casino with four goals and James had two goals. Seminole Casino picked up two goals on handicap.
VALIENTE 9, CASABLANCA 6
In a wild second semifinal on Friday at Valiente Polo Farm, Valiente prevailed to defend its title on Sunday.
The marathon game featured an inadvertent flagrant foul that had one player sitting out for two minutes, Cavanagh getting knocked off his horse but uninjured and an injured horse late in the sixth chukker.
The game marked the World Polo League debut of 10-goaler Hilario Ulloa who replaced Juan Martin Nero, who re-injured his ankle he broke at the Argentine Open. Three-goaler Bautista Crotti also made his WPL debut replacing an injured Grant Ganzi.
With two new players in the Casablanca lineup (Bautista Crotti 3, Hilario Ulloa 10, Rodrigo Andrade 8, Juancito Bollini 4) it took time to jell as a team which was a difficult task against a strong Valiente team.
The game was sticky and not as free-flowing as the majority of WPL games. Adolfo Cambiaso hit an incredible long ball from a standstill to score with 14 seconds left for a 6-3 halftime lead.
Crotti was impressive for his first 26-goal outing. He tapped in a missed Ulloa penalty conversion to cut Valiente's lead to one, 6-5. But it was the closest Casablanca would get.
Cavanagh scored a game-high five goals. Adolfo and Poroto Cambiaso each had two goals. For Casablanca, Ulloa, Andrade and Crotti each had two goals.
In addition to Most Valuable Player and Play of the Game, the APHA Best Playing Pony of the tournament and game and World Polo League Best Playing Pony will be selected after Sunday's final.
The American Polo Horse Association was created in 2006 by the legendary Polo Hall of Famer Sunny Hale to recognize polo ponies in America and encourages events that showcase them and hard-working dedication of grooms.

'Rough year' is motivation for Louisville defense during spring practice
Justin Sayers
Watching injured from the sidelines last season gave Louisville junior linebacker C.J. Avery a different glimpse of the defense.
"We had a rough year last year," said Avery, who missed three games because of an undisclosed injury. "Seeing how they played from the sideline made a big difference in me and made me see how I can help with being a vocal leader and playing out there with them."
That motivation is going to be needed after a 2018 season that broke records — in all the wrong ways.
Related:Louisville QB Malik Cunningham says new offense 'fits me perfect'
Louisville was the first Power Five team ever to allow more than 50 points in five games in a row. They gave up 100 more points than any other team in school history. The Cardinals finished winless in the ACC for the first time and 2-10 overall.
"Nobody wants to go 2-10, man. You wake up every day and you tell yourself, you can't go 2-10 again. Everything that you do is motivated toward having a better year next here," Avery said.
It won't be easy for Louisville. But redshirt senior cornerback P.J. Mbanasor said the players have come out under new coach Scott Satterfield and defensive coordinator Bryan Brown with a lot more positivity and a "refreshed and energized point of view."
"I think last year woke a lot of people up as far as players. We've seen how bad it can get, so everyone is motivated to do better," Mbnasor said.
Both players know just how hard it is to adjust to a new scheme. They're on their third defensive coordinator in three years. But Avery said that hasn't been a problem.
"I think there are similarities with everything in football — a concept is a concept," Avery said. "It's just all about attitude and effort with us."
More Cards:Louisville football off and running as Satterfield's first spring begins
Avery said that his side of the ball is "getting better" and "getting close," in the newest scheme, which he said is a lot more free-flowing.
"It lets you play. You just play football again. You read one thing and you just go. That's all it is. Just a whole bunch of running — that's it," he said. "You get your call, you read your thing, and then you just go play. You run full speed to the ball. Attitude and effort — that's all it takes."
Defensive line coach Mark Ivey pointed to Amonte Caban, Robert Hicks, Tabarius Peterson and G.G. Robinson as players who have stood out early.
Friday's practice marked the third of 15 practices held by the Cardinals during their spring season. Day 3 was closed to the media. The schedule culminates with a spring game on March 7 at 7 p.m. inside Cardinal stadium.
Louisville is reportedly hosting Virginia Tech tight end grad transfer Chris Cunningham on campus this weekend, according to 247Sports.com. In three seasons with the Hokies, Cunningham caught 22 passes for 297 yards and seven touchdowns.
Following practice, Louisville linebacker Dorian Etheridge hosted a Q-and-A on Twitter. Fans were asked to submit questions with the hashtag #AskDorian. He discussed spring practice and his status as the "quarterback of the defense," among other answers.

Best Cloud Storage Apps for iPhone and iPad in 2020 to Stay Synced on the Move
Dhvanesh Adhiya
Last Updated: January 8, 2020 5:15 pm
Cloud has become the thing of the present. It's no longer a technology that you're only reading about. From iCloud to Dropbox, there's cloud everywhere.
Apple's iCloud has been quite a popular and seamless way to store your documents, photos, contacts and much more online but there are several limitations within iCloud. Basically, it wasn't designed to be storage like Dropbox where there's more file-folder control and accessibility of documents and photos that you've synced to the cloud.
We take a look at the most popular cloud storage apps currently available on the iPhone (and iPad) which can help you get started with cloud storage. These apps are powerful, great and in a way, get you all the features you'd need from a cloud storage service.
Best Cloud Storage Apps for iPhone and iPad in 2020
#1. Dropbox
Dropbox has been on the top of all cloud storage app lists. Both as a web service and as a popular iOS app, Dropbox has fared well. When it comes to cloud storage, Dropbox stands first.
Key Elements
Easy sharing options
Recent update to automatic photo sync
Document reading
Download Dropbox
#2. Google Drive
Google Drive isn't as much popular as Dropbox but with latest feature updates, it's aiming to get there. Google Drive has been the recipient of several new sharing and folder features that make it quite powerful for cloud storage.
A simple and familiar interface
Real-time editing of documents, spreadsheets etc. (iPhone/iPad)
Offline availability of docs: the most key feature that makes Google Drive fare better.
Download Google Drive
#3. Box
I'm not much of a Box fan, often finding it bereft of a streamlined approach. I think it's because there are a lot of features in Box that I'd not probably use but it's probably the best if you're looking for an enterprise level solution.
Collaborative features
10GB data (more than what Drive/Dropbox provide)
Edit files directly on iPhone/iPad
Rating: 3.5-4/5
Download Box iPhone App
#4. OneDrive
OneDrive from Microsoft is a top-rated cloud storage service used by Windows users. You'll find OneDrive to be pretty much the same as Dropbox. There's enough access to uploads and viewing options but you can't do real-time edits.
Useful for users of OneDrive
Easy photo upload features
Download OneDrive
#5. SugarSync
Perhaps, the most unsung hero of all the cloud storage apps is SugarSync. The app is a fantastic piece of work, lauded by the likes of Walt Mossberg of AllThingsD. It has much more features than what the usual Dropbox app allows for. And SugarSync brings a rich experience.
Email files
Offline viewing through fast downloads
Stream music even when accessing other files
Real-time access
That's all, folks!
While selecting the Cloud storage app, one thing you should be keeping in mind is about data security. That's because Cloud storage is used for valuable data and if the provider doesn't have good security features, there are chances of data being compromised. With that said, I will the decision on you.

MAKING HER MARK
Meghan Markle has pushed Prince Harry's friends out and rules the roost since the Royal Wedding, claims former pal Lizzie Cundy
Lucy Devine
Updated: 22 Sep 2019, 12:22
ONE of Meghan Markle's former pals has claimed the Duchess of Sussex has "pushed out" some of Prince Harry's friends, since they got married last year.
Speaking this week, TV presenter Lizzie Cundy - who says she was "ghosted" by Meghan - told talkRADIO the new royal is "ruling the roost" over at Frogmore Cottage.

Lizzie, who struck up a friendship with 37-year-old Meghan after they met at an awards dinner in 2013 - almost setting her up with former Chelsea player Ashley Cole - claims the new mum has forced Harry to drop some "solid" friends.
"One thing I have heard is, because I'm friends with a lot of Harry's friends – one is a very close friend – is that she has pushed them all out," the 49-year-old told talkRADIO.
"She's ruling the roost. This friend, I won't name him, he had Harry on his shoulders in Las Vegas when he got into that trouble.
"He was a really good, solid friend – covered for him, everything – he has been elbowed right out."

Meghan and Lizzie struck up a friendship in 2013
Earlier this year, Tatler reported that one of Harry's best friends - Tom "Skippy" Inskip - had been banished from the royal's tight-knit circle of pals after he reportedly advised Harry against marrying Meghan.
The article reported: "Hang out with the Clooney/Beckham/Soho House set and be assailed for being too Hollywood, for forcing your hen-pecked husband to abandon his old, country-set muckers – including Tom "Skippy" Inskip, the ultra-loyal, tight-lipped Harry pal, who, it's said, advised Harry not to marry Meghan and has paid the price: banishment."
The banker has been a close friend of Prince Harry after they met at Eton, and they had been inseparable ever since.

A source close to the couple said: "The real reason Tom was made no longer welcome by Meghan is that she had learned he had dared to question Harry over whether he really felt he was doing the right thing in marrying her.
"All the poor guy did, during a heart to heart with the prince, was to venture that Harry might be infatuated, more in lust than love, and maybe he might think about cooling things down before rushing into a proposal.
"Meghan didn't actually want Tom and his wife Lara at their wedding, but Harry insisted, although they were not invited to the party in the evening, which hurt, because all of their other mutual chums were asked."
Apparently, Tom and Harry are back in touch following Archie's birthCredit: AP:Associated Press
However, it's now reported that the tables have turned, with Tom reportedly receiving a phone call from Harry shortly after Archie's birth.
"One of the first of his old chums with whom Harry wanted to share the great news was Skippy, who is just happy to be back in the fold."
Fabulous Digital has contacted Buckingham Palace who declined to comment.

TravelPerk named the world's fastest growing SaaS company in 2019 SaaS 1000
Vicky Karantzavelou / 13 Nov 2019 09:48 4701
Next-gen business travel management platform continues hypergrowth.
BARCELONA - Business travel management platform, TravelPerk, announced that it has been recognised as the world's fastest growing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company, according to the 2019 edition of SaaS Mag's acclaimed ranking, the SaaS 1000.
The SaaS 1000 is an annual ranking of the world's top growing SaaS companies. Using a proprietary algorithm, industry publication SaaS Mag ranks the fastest-growing SaaS companies based on hiring trends, growth indicators and the number of employees. According to this algorithm, TravelPerk has achieved 122% growth, making the company the world's fastest growing SaaS provider over the last 12 months. TravelPerk was ranked 5th in 2018's SaaS 1000 and is one of only two European companies in the top ten in 2019.
The recognition from SaaS Mag follows a landmark year for TravelPerk. Key milestones for the business in 2019 included:
Funding - In July, TravelPerk closed a $104m Series C funding round, bringing the total investment in the company to $134m.
Innovation - 2019 also saw the release of FlexiPerk, a ground-breaking new product that gives business travelers unprecedented flexibility to cancel and get a refund on any booking-hotel, trains, car hire, and flights-at any time, for any reason.
Inventory - This year TravelPerk has continued to invest in its inventory with an Integration with Trainline, Europe's largest rail and coach booking platform, and a partnership with Lufthansa Group Airlines to offer direct booking for customers through new distribution capability (NDC) technology.
International expansion - TravelPerk has also begun an aggressive international expansion strategy, with offices opened in London and Berlin and more to be announced.
Avi Meir, CEO and co-founder of TravelPerk, said: "We created TravelPerk in 2015 because we knew that business travelers needed a dramatically better experience. The industry had been dominated by outdated tech and outdated thinking and we believed there was a big opportunity for a startup that could use technology to give travelers a seamless experience while providing businesses with more control and visibility. The rapid growth we have experienced since then shows that we were right - but we're not done yet. We have ambitious growth plans for 2020 and we're working on some really exciting innovations that we believe can take business travel into a new era, and drive the next stage of our company growth."

Terek, for the first time since the beginning of spring, in the last round won against Ufa with his standard score 1-0. It is very important that the result was obtained at the exit, and we all know that house Terek is playing much better.
Zenit will arrive in Grozny after a very important victory over CSKA. In fact, the title in the Premier League has been produced, and now every game is just to zoom in Petrograd to the coveted title.
But, this match is another very important implication. Zenith 21 tour lost only 2 matches, and one of them just the Terek, and at Petrovsky. This gives the Zenith an additional impulse to avenge the Terek.
