Almost 50,000 pounds of artisanal cheese were stolen in a sophisticated heist in the UK. AdvertisementOne of the most sophisticated cheese heists in history has left British cheesemakers reeling and facing an uncertain future. Neal's Yard unwittingly delivered the cheese, estimated to be worth about £300,000 ($390,000), to the fraudsters before realizing they were not legitimate buyers. "One of the things that made it so appealing was thinking that we'd see British cheese in a French supermarket." Calver said Neals Yard Dairy's ability to survive the financial loss is critical for the sector.

Three jurors who condemned Moore to death in 2001, including one who wrote Friday, sent letters asking McMaster to change his sentence to life without parole. They were joined by a former state prison director, Moore’s trial judge, his son and daughter, a half-dozen childhood friends and several pastors.

While 50% of Republicans publicly said "we live in a mostly fair society," just 11% privately agreed. Similarly, 2% of Republicans were thought to privately trust the government to tell the truth, while 14% said so publicly.

One member of the women’s volleyball team at San Jose State University has signed on to being part of a federal lawsuit against the NCAA challenging the presence of transgender athletes in women’s college sports. As with other points of dispute in the struggle over gender identity and transgender rights, one thing opposing sides have in common is framing their stance as a matter of what’s fair and right. This political and cultural backdrop makes the attention surrounding the SJSU situation more understandable. Anawalt echoes such an idea — that a resolution to the “fairness” question is muddy, elusive and perhaps ultimately unanswerable. And so where do you draw the bright white line in terms of what’s fair and what’s not fair?”

Mesh networks consist of devices that connect to each other rather than to a single router. A mesh network is a private wireless broadband network in which devices, or connection points, link to one another in a weblike structure. Mesh networks also offer significantly more safety and security, whether from a malicious attack or other breach. We're also moving toward more autonomy and artificial-intelligence-driven decision-making, applications, and technologies; mesh networks are built for that. If you drop a mesh network into an environment with poor LAN architecture and configuration, it will become apparent pretty quickly.

ZorcJump to the full list of authors, editors and contributorsSpokespeople for Project 2025 have denied that they are advocates for any particular candidate, and Project 2025 has no official ties to the Trump campaign. To limit the appearance of connection, Mr. Trump’s transition team has been excluding prominent people linked to Project 2025 from its preparations. Project 2025 additionally calls for the dismantling of the federal Education Department, which Mr. Trump has also pledged to do.

☆ Spotify is ready to follow Netflix and be the next breakout streaming stock, according to the charts
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-22 | by ( Todd Gordon | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The stock is consolidating just below all-time highs and if Netflix's move after earnings is any indication, I think SPOT should punch through to new all-time highs. We're currently trading at $386, just below the all-time highs of $387 set back in 2021. The earnings trajectory for this company has been insane: 2022 EPS ($3.09) 2023 EPS ($2.95) 2024 EPS +$6.37 2025 EPS +$9.06 (est.) Netflix beat expectations and broke to new all-time highs led by new subs, 50% of which are coming from an ad tier. Meta is also in the communication sector sitting close to new all-time highs like NFLX, so the trend for this group remains firmly higher.
