Investigators concluded Peterson had committed conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance and attempted assault on law enforcement when he pointed a loaded Glock 23 .40-caliber pistol at pursuing deputies. However, he did…

Part of the reason why Snapchat has managed to stay in the game for so long in spite of the fact that this is the case far larger companies like Facebook seemed hell bent on genericizing the various features that made it unique has a lot to do with its new focus on Lenses as well as various forms of AR that have made it an excellent social media platform that has continued to grow at a rate that is pretty impressive all in all.Snapchat is very supportive of creators that want to develop Lenses and other AR features for its platform, and in order to entice more people to get in on this sort of thing as well as provide more financial incentives for Lens developers to create more often and with higher quality Snap Inc has just announced a fund of 3.5 million dollars that these developers would be able to access. This was announced as Snapchat’s Lens Fest started out, and it also came with the announcement that Lenses created so far had been used by Snapchat’s users over one trillion times. This is an unreasonably massive number, so much so that most people might not even…

This story is part of our week-long series on the strategic trends among fashion and beauty brands for holiday 2020. To drive sales during the holiday gifting season, fragrance brands are looking to digital tools, rather than eager department store salespeople.  Fragrance relies on the holiday season more than any other category. According to data from The NPD Group, more than 35% of fragrance sales are made from Thanksgiving to Christmas in the U.S. This year, that time period happens to coincide with the peak of the second wave of Covid-19, making it more difficult to sell a product that people are used to testing in person before buying. According to The NPD Group data, one out of three fragrance consumers are influenced by in-store samples. Foot traffic in physical retail was down 52% on Black Friday this year, according to Sensormatic Solutions. Department stores’ foot traffic is around half of what it was a year earlier, according to SafeGraph. For some retailers, it’s even lower — foot traffic at Nordstrom is only at 30% of what it was a year ago.  As a result, brands are turning to social media platforms to convey scents virtually. L’Oréal Group, for example, teamed…

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A pandemic party has public health authorities on edge and police investigating. Despite COVID-19 restrictions, dozens of mask-less people are seen gathered at what looks like an indoor party in a Snapchat video posted publically over the weekend. “It’s kind of hit the trifecta for things you don’t want to be doing. Not wearing a mask, not social distancing, and drinking, which decreases your inhibitions. It’s likely to be a super-spreader event,” Dr. Peter Beilenson, Director of Sacramento County Department of Health Services, said. The lack of masks may not be the worst of it. Snapchat’s “geo-tag” Maps feature shows the party in the 6800 block of Fruitridge Road, the same area Sacramento police responded to early Saturday morning after they say two people were shot. The Sacramento Police Department is now looking to see if the video is related to the shooting. “I don’t find it safe for anybody. People still not wearing a mask and they’re supposed to be wearing masks,” Ursula, a business owner on Fruitridge Road, said. Dr. Beilenson said with less than 80 ICU beds left in Sacramento County the party could be devastating. “We’ve been seeing a lot of this as…

Once, Barack Obama was known for promoting hope and change. Now he is displaying a startling, even radical, cynicism about the commitment of White Americans to racial justice.On the Snapchat political program “Good Luck America,” Obama dismissed “defund the police” as a “snappy slogan.” Obama’s concern was tactical: “You lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done.” That was a quintessential Obama move, endorsing comity over confrontation. But in an interview with CNN’s April Ryan, the former president went all “Fear of a Black Planet,” revealing a remarkably hard-edge assessment of White anxiety.The relationship between Black people and police is “always a hot topic,” Obama observed, because it “unearths or excavates or escalates fears within the White population that somehow the African American community is going to get out of control in some way or is not respecting authority.” Wow. This is a pretty remarkable view of “the White population” coming from the man who made his big debut on the public stage proclaiming that “there’s not a Black America and a White America.” Maybe four years of President Trump can…
