She has a proven track record of building strong brands, developing compelling products, creating great customer experiences, and leading breakthrough marketing," Niccol said in a statement on Friday. Niccol created a similar global chief brand officer role at Chipotle when he took over there in 2018. Most recently, she served as chief marketing officer for Yahoo.

But in an announcement Thursday, the US Treasury Department accused the Chinese firms of direct involvement in arms supplies to Moscow. The Chinese companies had collaborated with Russian defense firms in the production of Moscow’s “Garpiya series” long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, the department said in a statement. “The Garpiya has been deployed by Russia in its brutal war against Ukraine, destroying critical infrastructure and causing mass casualties,” it said. “We have seen for some time Chinese companies providing components to Russian companies that Russian companies then use to turn into machinery, weapons, other components that Russia could use in its war,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters Thursday. In the latest sign of their deepening alignment, Chinese and Russian defense officials vowed to strengthen their cooperation during meetings in Beijing last week.

Just over 90 minutes before Roberson’s execution was set to begin, the House committee was able to secure a temporary restraining order against the state, pausing the execution. Roberson’s case is called into questionAdvocates for Roberson insist the diagnosis that his daughter died from shaken baby syndrome is inaccurate and has been discredited. Shaken baby syndrome is accepted as a valid diagnosis by the American Academy of Pediatrics and supported by child abuse pediatricians who spoke with CNN.

Los Angeles AP —A former Olympic snowboarder for Canada has been charged with running a drug trafficking ring that shipped vast amounts of cocaine across the Americas and killed four people, authorities said Thursday. Wedding competed for Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, authorities said. Wedding faces separate drug trafficking charges in Canada that date back to 2015, said Chris Leather, chief superintendent with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Wedding previously was convicted in the US of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and was sentenced to prison in 2010, federal records show. Estrada said US authorities believe that after Wedding’s release, he resumed drug trafficking and has been protected by the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico.

Even though the Federal Reserve has begun cutting interest rates, it's still possible to lock in a competitive rate on a certificate of deposit. That means you could earn $400 to $500 on a $10,000 deposit in one year with a CD, compared with just $57 with a savings account. That's about the best interest rate you can find without investing the money, which carries a higher degree of risk. However, with a CD, the trade-off for a good interest rate is that your money is locked in for a set term of several months or years. "CDs are a great place for your cash if you don't need the money for a specific amount of time," says Jeremy Keil, a certified financial planner in Wisconsin.
