American women woke up in a terrifying new world Wednesday morning. And for progressives, the crushing despair of Hillary Clinton’s defeat by Donald J. Trump turned into fresh horror at his proposed agenda.
Though women believe abortion rights are theirs to keep, Trump has promised to appoint a Supreme Court justice who would overturn that constitutional guarantee. Women in same-sex relationships who wed their partner, or want to, have a different reason to fear Trump’s appointment: he’s pledged to nominate someone opposed to marriage equality.
These possibilities are but a glimpse of how Trump’s America would fundamentally change for women. His presidency threatens to undo years of progress while undermining institutions that work to achieve gender equality. Expect Planned Parenthood, for example, which provides millions of women with essential reproductive health care, to become a prime target of a Republican-led Congress backed by Trump.

Bill Murray translation: Cubs win! Cubs win — Cubs win!

Though Game 7 of this most improbable World Series in memory concluded in Cleveland, you bet your proton packs that Murray — as much a Cubs fan as he is a Ghostbuster — was there in the stands Wednesday night.

For Murray and Cubs fans the world over, this was a moment a lifetime in the making.

Living your best life doesn’t always mean traveling a linear path. Sometimes you need to shake things up along the way, throw the plan out the window and go in search of what truly makes you happy.
What does it mean to find your fit — to discover a sense of purpose and chase down the dreams that mean the most to you?
It’s about passion. It’s about truth. And most of all, it’s about listening to your gut.
Inspired by four people who have already done it, here are five things to keep in mind when reinventing your own life.
Microsoft’s getting quite good at design moonshots, creating product silhouettes that challenge our notions of what computing should look like. The large, yet astonishingly thin, Surface Studio is a perfect reflection of that still somewhat new skill.
As I looked over that all-in-one Windows 10 computer and a slightly updated Surface Book beside it in Microsoft’s pop-up product experience room adjacent to the hall where Microsoft Device lead Panos Panay had just introduced the new hardware, I realized I had myriad questions about both, but mostly about the Surface Studio.
I glanced away from the 28-inch glowing Studio display and spotted a familiar face. Ralf Groene, Microsoft’s head of industrial design, was standing alone, staring almost wistfully into space. The last time I’d seen Groene was almost a year ago and he was showing me two stuck-together pieces of black cardboard, the rough-hewn seedling for the product idea that would become the Surface Book.

The world is reeling after Kim Kardashian West was held at gunpoint by masked men dressed as police officers and robbed of jewellery worth several million dollars at a luxury residence in Paris.
According to French newspaper Le Parisien, Kardashian West was threatened with a gun to her head before being tied up in the bathroom.
While a spokesperson for the reality TV star said the Kardashian was “badly shaken but physically unharmed,” not everyone was feeling sorry for the businesswoman, and many went so far as to make jokes about the robbery.
British comedian James Corden chimed into the conversation to express his disapproval at the ill-timed humour, urging people to “be nice or shut up.”

His current project, called the Voxiebox, is capable of displaying and manipulating full-color three-dimensional images and graphics on a reciprocating display, similar to one he developed in 1985 for an exhibit housed at the New York Hall of Science. “[This] is pretty much the only volumetric device that has the quality that it has and is as close to market as it is,” Jackson says.

During World War II, Nazi Germany carried out the greatest art theft in history.
Led by Nazi philosopher Alfred Rosenberg and the Reichsleiter Rosenberg Task Force (ERR), the Nazis stole over one million art pieces from across Europe. Many of the plundered “ownerless cultural goods” were destined for a proposed Führermuseum in Linz.
At the urging of art conservator and Navy reservist George Stout, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt established the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program (MFAA), with the aim of protecting cultural treasures from the violence of warfare and returning stolen works to their rightful owners.

Hearing more chatter — either at home or at work, or both — about work/life balance?
You’re not alone.
While the concept of a balance between your work and your play has been around for decades, more companies today, especially startups, are putting work/life balance at the forefront of their recruiting.
As new policies enter the workplace, employees are also engineering their own methods to balance their careers and social lives.
