A few ideas for Vice President Kamala Harris’ Sunnyvale visit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:16:59 GMT

We’ve all had our share of whirlwind trips, and Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to Sunnyvale on Monday will probably be a hurried affair as well. But on the off chance there’s a little free time in her itinerary, here are a few spots the vice president should consider visiting before jetting back to D.C.First, if you want to understand how far Sunnyvale has come after visiting Applied Materials’ advanced labs, take a trip to the Sunnyvale Heritage Orchard and Museum on Remington Avenue. The apricots aren’t quite ready for picking, but the orchard of 800 Blenheim apricot trees spread out over 10 acres is a visual reminder of the days when the Santa Clara Valley was the fruit-production capital of the world. You might even run into Charlie Olson, who continued to work the orchard well into his 80s.The Orchard Heritage Park in Sunnyvale contains about 800 apricot trees, with fruit is picked and sold at a farm stand at the adjacent Sunnyvale Community Center.

In Cannes, standing ovations stretch on and on — but they’re designed to

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:16:59 GMT

CANNES, France (AP) — The Cannes Film Festival is on, which means stopwatches are out.Nowhere are the length of standing ovations at high-wattage premieres more carefully recorded and parsed than in Cannes. Did a movie garner a triumphant eight-minute standing ovation? Or did the audience stand for a mere four or five minutes?How has such an unlikely metric come to reverberate around the world within minutes of a premiere? And why is everyone standing for so long? Doesn’t anyone’s hands get tired?Such effusive displays of enthusiasm have come to be a hallmark of Cannes and, sometimes, a bit of marketing gimmick for films looking to resonate far from the Croisette. If Cannes, the world’s largest and glitziest film festival, stands for cinematic excess, its thunderous standing ovations can seem like its greatest overindulgence. No one needs a bathroom break?Less widely understood, though, is how the pageantry of Cannes shapes and distorts standing ovations. When audi...
