Over the weekend, a Nordstrom in a Los Angeles mall was a repeat target for a "flash mob" robbery. Up to $100,000 of merchandise was stolen, days after a similar robbery in the Los Angeles area. In 2021, the Nordstrom store was also the target of a flash mob robbery. The term "flash mob" has been associated with flash mob dances, but has since taken on new meaning when associated with organized burglaries conducted by large groups. The Los Angeles Police Department said the losses from the Saturday burglary at Nordstrom were estimated to be from $60,000 to $100,000 in merchandise.

Certain items will always be shipped with additional packing, such as items that may require additional privacy, the company said. Through monitoring customer feedback on deliveries, Amazon said it will also adjust what items customers prefer to be shipped with extra packaging.

The Biden administration's executive order restricting U.S. private equity and venture capital investments in Chinese technology finally landed on Wednesday. For U.S. tech investors who'd already grown wary of the budding cross-Pacific rivalry, the ruling is the clearest signal yet that the world's second-biggest economy is off limits. Biden is specifically targeting investments in technologies like semiconductors, quantum computing and artificial intelligence on concern that China's advancements in those areas run counter to U.S. national security interests. U.S. investors have been steadily retreating from China due to a combination of a weakening economy and the fraught geopolitical environment. "Most investors want to avoid being seen as acting against U.S. national security interests."

"I loved going to work every day," says Mebane, who adds that she never missed a day of work, unless she was really sick.
