Sweeney has opened doors for movie stars and shaken hands with every U.S. president since Gerald Ford, with the exception of Donald Trump. He's taken photos with countless visitors from around the world, often after telling them where to catch the cable car and how to get to Fisherman's Wharf. The man known as a \"San Francisco original\" and \"living landmark\" retires Sunday, Jan. 12, 2020, after 43 years. ",

"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

And that’s partially what inspired her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, it was all of the people talking about gentrification happening here in the Bay and in Oakland, and working in tech, and being a person of color, it made me want to get involved more,” says Robinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She quickly progressed from library volunteer to board member in 2018. Despite her position, she tells me, the connection with Noname’s Book Club wasn’t a direct part of her involvement with the board—just something she took the initiative to do herself. “It was one of those moments, like: if I don’t do this, no one else will,” says Robinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before the application to the book club was officially sent, a photo of her half-finished slide deck for a partnership proposal was catching eyes on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I took a picture of the slides and I was like: ‘\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/12amsunshine/status/1202646312950190080?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I’m going to put this on Twitter\u003c/a> and see what happens’,” says Robinson. “I was probably halfway through my proposal, and then it started picking up traction. And that’s when Noname’s Book Club account retweeted it,” says Robinson, adding they sent a direct message with an email as to where she send the finished proposal. “I finished the rest of the proposal in an hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Oakland Public Library will have extra copies of the books suggested by the book club, which in the past has suggested books like Paulo Freire’s \u003cem>Pedagogy of the Oppressed\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Persepolis (The Story of a Childhood) \u003c/em>by Marjane Satrapi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s even suggestions from other well-known artists and writers. Rapper Earl Sweatshirt’s October pick was Eduardo Galeano’s critical look at history in Northern America, \u003cem>Faces and Masks: Memory of Fire Volume 2.\u003c/em> Kehlani, the R&B singer raised in Oakland, picked a book in November: Octavia E. Butler’s \u003cem>Parable of the Sower\u003c/em>, the 1993 science fiction classic that basically (read: exactly) predicted life in today’s science fiction-like times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of this month’s book club selections comes from writer \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/overdramatique?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Najma Sharif\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Die Nigger Die\u003c/em>, the 1969 autobiography of H.

The other pick is the collection of Indigenous Latina tales \u003cem>Sabrina & Corina\u003c/em> by Kali Fajardo-Anstine—a 2019 National Book Award Finalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more information on finding the book club’s suggested reading, keep an eye on the library’s \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/oaklibrary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter account\u003c/a>, or check the library’s online catalog by searching the keywords “\u003ca href=\"https://encore.oaklandlibrary.org/iii/encore/search/C__Snoname%20books__Orightresult?lang=eng&suite=cobalt\" rel=\"nofollow\">Noname books\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

After the producer dropped her off at her apartment in Manhattan, Sciorra says that he reappeared at her door and pushed it open, overpowering and raping her once he had gotten inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident took place too long ago for prosecution under state law, but prosecutors pushed for Sciorra’s testimony to be included anyway over the objections of Weinstein’s legal team—and prosecutors \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/26/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-annabella-sciorra-trial-rape.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got their way\u003c/a>. She will be allowed to take the witness stand to bolster the case that Weinstein committed \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/130.95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">predatory sexual assault\u003c/a>, which carries the longest possible sentence of his charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein, for his part, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, maintaining that everything that he did with these women and others was consensual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the case that heads to trial Monday is Weinstein’s first to include criminal charges, it is by no means the first case against the producer. Just last month, in fact, Weinstein and the board of his bankrupt film studio reached a tentative \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/11/787306873/harvey-weinstein-reaches-tentative-25-million-deal-to-settle-sex-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$47 million deal \u003c/a>to settle their financial obligations—about $25 million of which would be earmarked for the accusers who filed lawsuits against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement, which is still subject to approval by a judge, did not include any formal admission of wrongdoing or personal payments from Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Weinstein’s criminal case in Manhattan, the producer has changed lawyers several times during his pretrial preparations. The first of his attorneys, Benjamin Brafman, staged an aggressive defense in the media. He warned that the #MeToo movement, while generally a positive development, also resulted in an unfair rush to judgment in Weinstein’s situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have a #MeToo movement that pressures public officials to take certain action when perhaps it’s not warranted, then it gets to be very, very scary,” he told NPR \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/17/676803400/weinstein-seeks-dismissal-of-sexual-assault-case-in-possible-metoo-setback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in late 2018\u003c/a>, while he was still representing Weinstein. “And I think that’s what happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brafman and Weinstein officially \u003ca href=\"https://deadline.com/2019/01/harvey-weinstein-laywer-leaves-benjamin-brafman-criminal-trial-1202534787/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parted ways\u003c/a> about a month after speaking with NPR. Donna Rotunno, a former prosecutor who joined Weinstein’s legal team \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/11/harvey-weinstein-trial-legal-team-donna-rotunno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last year\u003c/a>, has suggested she plans to pursue a similarly aggressive defense strategy, trying to prove that the women willingly took part in their contact with Weinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can promise you there is a truth that you have not reported on; we’re here to uncover that truth,” Rotunno explained. “I think it’s going to be obvious that the relationships had with women in this case were quite consensual. We have a lot of documentation to back those things up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, before the opposing sides make their cases in court, a jury must be selected to hear those arguments—and that task won’t be easy in a case this well known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The issue is not necessarily finding the needle in the haystack—you know, the one person who has never heard of the Weinstein case. The odds of finding such a person are slim to none,” said Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge and author of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nancygertner.com/content/law-juries-6th-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book on jury selection\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that instead, each side likely will be scrutinizing every potential juror for any sign of prejudice, such as strong feelings about the #MeToo movement or Weinstein personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In other words, within the pool of people who have heard about him, there are distinctions to be made,” Gertner added. “And that’s where you have to find a fair jury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process is expected to last about two weeks. The entire trial could last six to eight. If Weinstein is convicted on the most serious charge, predatory sexual assault, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/70.00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he faces\u003c/a> a minimum sentence of 10 to 25 years in prison or a maximum of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

Often, though, sand will have other elements in it too. In order to clarify and stabilize the glass from these other elements, chemists could use manganese dioxide. When vault lights were first installed, much of the glass was clear. But when the manganese is exposed to UV rays for long periods of time, it photo-oxidizes and turns purple or pinkish. Hence, the reason so much of the glass is now purple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This process can take decades. So when you see colored glass, it’s either really old or someone dyed it to mimic the old glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where were vault lights first used?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This kind of technology was used on ships as deck lights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s long been the traditional way of lighting the interior of ships.

Often, though, sand will have other elements in it too. In order to clarify and stabilize the glass from these other elements, chemists could use manganese dioxide. When vault lights were first installed, much of the glass was clear. But when the manganese is exposed to UV rays for long periods of time, it photo-oxidizes and turns purple or pinkish. Hence, the reason so much of the glass is now purple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This process can take decades. So when you see colored glass, it’s either really old or someone dyed it to mimic the old glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where were vault lights first used?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This kind of technology was used on ships as deck lights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s long been the traditional way of lighting the interior of ships. While kerosene lamps were sometimes used, the smoke could make interior spaces uncomfortable. And candles could become a fire hazard on wooden ships,” says Diane Cooper, a museum technician at the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11791720\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11791720\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/DeckPrisms-800x572.jpg\" alt='The purple six-sided pointed prism has a flat bottom that would have been flush with the deck of a ship.
