The Manhattan Beach Police Department has arrested seven individuals in connection with a smash and grab robbery at Pasha Fine Jewelry in Manhattan Beach on Wednesday evening. This is the second time that the store has been robbed in the last year. In June 2022, Pasha Fine Jewelry was targeted when as many as ten thieves robbed the business during a brazen midday heist. Multiple suspects entered the store around 5:50 p.m. Wednesday evening and used hammers to break display cases before fleeing the store with miscellaneous merchandise, according to the Manhattan Beach Police Department. No shots were fired despite multiple suspects appearing to be armed with handguns. The suspects were able to escape into “awaiting vehicles” and left the scene in an alley. Approximately two hours later, Manhattan Beach Police Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle involved in the robbery. The driver failed to yield, and the subsequent pursuit ended in the City of Los Angeles,...Heads up! Asteroid expected to pass close to Earth on Saturday

Scientists looking to observe asteroids will get a rare chance this weekend. According to NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office, a newly discovered asteroid -- which is known as a Near-Earth Object -- will "safely" pass within only 100,000 miles on Saturday.NASA defines Near-Earth Objects as "comets and asteroids that have been nudged by the gravitational attraction of nearby planets into orbits that allow them to enter the Earth’s neighborhood."The office says the asteroid, named 2023 DZ2, measures between 140 feet and 310 feet in diameter. "While close approaches are a regular occurrence, one by an asteroid of this size (140-310 ft) happens only about once per decade, providing a unique opportunity for science," the office said. The asteroid, which was first observed on Jan. 14, will pass between the Earth and the Moon's orbit. It is considered to be an Apollo-class asteroid, meaning its diameter is less than 10 kilometers in size. These asteroids' orbits pass through Earth...From Rejection to Resilience: How StandOut Resume Helps Restore Confidence and Motivation In Their Clients

Catching up with Kyle McDowell, the best-selling author of Begin With We: 10 Principles for Building and Sustaining a Culture of Excellence, takes some tricky planning. McDowell maintains a strict schedule these days, plane-hopping around America, meeting with CEOs, and delivering keynotes to thousands of people. His goal is to do the seemingly impossible: redefine the work culture inside corporations, whose leaders have for years relied upon fear to lead their employees. McDowell’s framework for a new era of business relies on one idea: “WE” is far more important than “me.” With his new book leading the charts of USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon, he took some time out to talk about the secret to inspiring an apathetic workforce: trust, empathy, and authentic leadership.“Stop me if you have ever said this before: I just don’t feel energized or passionate about my job anymore,” says McDowell. “Every hand goes up in the room – it doesn’t matter if it’s an executive or ...IN CONVERSATION WITH SHAZA MOHARAM, EGYPTIAN MULTI-HYPHENATE ACTOR-DIRECTOR
