After a week of rumours and misinformation, Kelowna RCMP have set the record straight about a video that's recently gone viral. A video has been circulating various social media sites showing a woman yelling in a local convenience store and along with her dog, who aggressively barked at the store attendants. Someone in the store who was "trying to buy a sandwich" filmed the whole incident. According to RCMP, the incident took place over a year ago, on Sept. 19, 2023 at the Canco gas station in the 1100-block of Ethel Street. "Officers attended where it was determined an unknown female attacked two store employees and attempted to coerce her dog into biting them," said Kelowna RCMP in a press release. The incident was captured on cell phone video which was provided to police at the time. The next day, the woman was found and arrested for assault. She was released with an undertaking scheduled for court at a later date. Just over a month later, RCMP concluded their investigation at the request of the victims affected because the woman had never returned to the store and one of the victims no longer lives in the province. “For reasons unknown, this video only recently surfaced on social media over a year after the incident was reported and investigated by police,” RCMP media relations officer Cpl. Michael Gauthier. “In this particular case, when the victims of the offence(s) are no longer interested in pursuing charges, we are obligated to cancel the Undertaking and conclude the matter as is.”Lineage Explores Connection Between Food Infrastructure and Economic Development in New Research by Economist ImpactAfter holding major exhibitions — "ScreenScapes" and "Painting Through the Waves of New Media" in Manila and its first traveling exhibit "La Mia Mente è in Europa" in Milan, Italy — The White Room Gallery concludes its vibrant and fruitful year with "Spirit of Thanksgiving."

Decorating your front yard with string lights is the perfect way to bring some festivity to your home. But it can be a little tricky to work out how many lights you need. You have to weave the lights in and out of branches, so simply measuring the length of a hedge isn't enough. It's easy to underdo it and run out of lights, or buy too many and wind up with a blazing bright front yard. I spoke to a lighting expert and electrician who gave me a handy rule of thumb for working out how many LED bulbs you need to decorate your front yard at Christmas. In short, you need fifty LEDs per square foot, but there are some little things to bear in mind before you set up your outdoor Christmas lights . The fifty per foot rule Electrician and lighting expert Joel Worthington gave me a rough rule for working out how many Christmas lights you need: 'Generally, you about 50 to 100 lights per square foot for a dense and vibrant look.' So, if you know you need to cover ten feet of shrubs with Christmas lights, you need 500 bulbs to create good coverage. That sounds like a lot, but you need to cover the whole surface of the bush, so you need lots of tiny LED bulbs. Joel is an elecrical expert and oversees operations of 170 North American franchise locations and international master franchisees. Established in 1994, Mr. Electric is a global franchise organization providing electrical installation and repair services. Lighting shrubs The fifty-per-foot rule is most applicable to shrubs and bushes. If you have some boxwood or yew bushes to light up, use fifty lights of string light per square foot. However, by far the easiest way to cover these plants is to use net lights. You don't need to do any math or wind the lights through branches and leaves. Net lights use a big lattice of wire and LEDs, so you can throw the whole set over the top of a bush or shrub. All you need to do is measure the plant - or even just the visible surface area if it backs onto a wall or fence - and then buy the right size online. Net lights are easy to find - you can get a set of net lights like this on Amazon for less than $20. Lighting trees Joel's fifty per foot rule applies to trees too. The usual rule for lighting Christmas trees indoors is to use 100 lights per foot of tree, but this might be a little too much light for outdoor decor. It can also add up to a lot of lights - if you have a 20-foot tree to light, 2000 lights might be overkill. So, for lighting a tree in the front yard, use around fifty bulbs per foot. This will create a cozy, welcoming effect that's less intense than Alternatively, you could uplight the tree. This is always an easier way to light a tree than hanging up lengths of Christmas string lights. All you need to do is place a small stake light at the base of the tree and aim it up at the branches. This can create festive lighting much faster than using lots of lights. Lighting walls and fences You can adapt this rule for lighting walls and fences with string lights. You don't need fifty bulbs per square foot but aim for around fifty bulbs by the length of the surface. A 10-foot stretch of wall needs around 500 lights, but they don't need to cover the entire wall. That's because string lights on fences and walls don't need to illuminate the entire structure. It would look harsh and garish to put too much focus on a wood fence or brick wall. A single train of lights draped along a wall will do the trick, so don't feel as though you need to overdo it. Don't get caught up on the rule However, bear in mind that this is a rule of thumb to help you work out how many LEDs you need. You can increase or decrease the amount of lights depending on the effect you want to achieve. For a brighter yard, bump the numbers up to 100 lights per square foot; for a more relaxed look, decrease it to 25 diodes per foot. Lighting expert Dara Greaney says 'There is ultimately no correct number for the amount of lights you need per square foot. Our recommendation is always to keep things as consistent as possible, so the same strand that you ran across the house should be used on shrubs and bushes. That way you have a consistent lights per square foot, as opposed to trying to hit a specific target.'

With the news that Cadillac is joining F1 in 2026, Mario Andretti has been named to the board of directors for the organization. An Andretti-Cadillac team was denied entry in 2023, but this new formation is more acceptable to the FIA. Mario Andretti is a legend. Formula One, NASCAR, IndyCar – there isn’t much that he wasn’t able to accomplish during his driving days. At 84 years old, he’s headed back to F1. Today, Andretti responded to the news . He is more than happy to have a role within this new organization. “I feel very lucky that I’ve been able to stick around for this long and do what I love for so long,” the legendary driver wrote on social media. “And the idea that the Cadillac F1 Team wants me around...I’ll help where I can, a non-exclusive role with the team, not involved in day-to-day operations (because I don’t want a job), but offering advice, inspiration, friendship anywhere I can. I am beyond fortunate.” I feel very lucky that I've been able to stick around for this long and do what I love for so long. And the idea that the Cadillac F1 Team wants me around....I'll help where I can, a non-executive role with the team, not involved in day-to-day operations (because I don't want a... This won’t be Andretti Global. However, this appears to be a solid compromise. There are several Andretti allies and close business partners on the Cadillac F1 team. Dan Towriss and Mark Walter will lead the team, they are majority owners at Andretti Global. As for the engines that they will run, Cadillac F1 will use Ferrari engines for 2026 and 2027. They will then introduce their own engine in 2028. Cadillac enters F1, could it come to NASCAR? Cadillac races globally. Their addition to F1 is a big deal. But could Cadillac get involved in NASCAR? With the Chevy Camaro being discontinued, is there a chance that GM could swap Chevy out for the Cadillac brand? To answer those questions simply, I don’t think so. It sounds far-fetched. Cadillac competes in sports car racing, IMSA, WEC, and now F1 – stock car racing doesn’t really fit the brand. But for a certain race fan, a Cadillac brand in the Cup Series would be a dream come true. NASCAR is hoping to add another manufacturer. There are a lot of rumors about Honda and maybe Hyundai. But any additions are likely years away. Could a rebranding from Chevy to Cadillac make NASCAR a more attractive brand for other manufacturers? Again, I’m not sure that’s a legitimate solution, but may be a fun offseason debate. Cadillac F1 team has me thinking about a Next Gen CT5 and I don’t hate the picture in my head. If you could pick any manufacturer to invest into NASCAR, who would you choose?

Recent research by Object First has highlighted key vulnerabilities and the growing importance of modern backup technologies in combating ransomware threats. The survey revealed many businesses are still using outdated technologies that leave their backup data vulnerable to attack, suggesting they are not yet adequately prepared to fend off modern ransomware attacks. The state of backup security Backup data is becoming a prime target for cybercriminals, therefore organizations need to rethink their backup security practices to adopt more resilient, ransomware-proof solutions. The report revealed while over a third (34%) of respondents pointed to outdated backup systems as a major weakness, making them easier targets for ransomware attackers, 31% cited a lack of backup data encryption , which prevents sensitive data from being securely stored and transferred. In addition, failed data backups were identified by 28% of respondents as another key vulnerability. These failures leave organizations unable to restore their systems after an attack, often resulting in lengthy downtimes and expensive recovery processes. More troubling is the finding that ransomware attacks are increasingly targeting backup data directly. Normally, backups are considered a last line of defense in the event of an attack. However, with attackers now focusing on compromising this data, simply having backups is no longer enough. This shift has led to a growing need for immutable storage backup systems designed to ensure data cannot be altered or deleted by ransomware once it is stored. Are you a pro? Subscribe to our newsletter Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed! An overwhelming 93% of survey respondents agreed that immutable storage is essential for protecting against ransomware attacks, while 84% of IT workers highlighted that they need better backup security to meet regulatory compliance. This need for enhanced security is further evidenced by the fact that 97% of respondents plan to invest in immutable storage solutions as part of their cybersecurity strategy. Immutable storage is built on Zero Trust principles, a security model that assumes no user or system is inherently trustworthy. This approach focuses on continuously validating every access request and limiting permissions to minimize the risk of unauthorized access. The Object First survey found that 93% of IT professionals believe aligning their backup systems with Zero Trust principles is key to safeguarding their data from ransomware. Zero Trust architecture ensures that even if cybercriminals gain access to a system, they are limited in their ability to manipulate or delete critical data. While the need for enhanced security is clear, the survey also revealed that managing backup storage systems remains a challenge for many organizations. Nearly 41% of IT professionals stated that they lack the skills necessary to manage complex backup solutions, and 69% reported that budget constraints prevent them from hiring additional security experts. “Our research shows that almost half of organizations suffered attacks that targeted their backup data, highlighting the criticality of adopting backup storage solutions that are ransomware-proof,” said Andrew Wittman, Chief Marketing Officer at Object First.
