Man pleads guilty to fatal shooting of Little Italy restaurant manager and is sentenced to 50 years in prison - Baltimore Sun
The man arrested last year in the killing of Chesley Patterson, a Little Italy restaurant manager, pleaded guilty Monday and was sentenced to prison.Video above: Police: Little Italy restaurant manager homicide suspect arrested (April 2022)Samuel Wise Jr. pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, first-degree escape and gun charges, the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office told 11 News.Prosecutors said Wise was sentenced to life with all but 50 years suspended, followed by three years of supervised probation upon release for the murder charge. He was sentenced concurrently to 20 years and five years for the other two charges.Patterson was shot in the chest just a few blocks from where he worked at La Scala restaurant for 17 years. Police said last year they believe he was killed on Jan. 23, 2022, as part of a robbery spree. "The tragic death of Mr. Patterson was a shock to this tight-knit community and our city as a whole. As his family and loved ones approach the second anniversary of his murder, we continue to grieve with them and extend our victim services to them during this immensely difficult time," Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates said in a statement.Several people from the restaurant attended the court proceedings Friday morning."He got what he got. That's what they handed down. I mean, it still doesn't bring Chesley back, plain and simple. Yes, justice was somewhat granted, but nothing brings him back," said Chris Allison, the restaurant's director of operations. "We remember him every day. His ashes are still here. There's hangings of him all over the place. There's still a picture of him over there, and every single day, somehow, he gets brought up in some way shape or form."They said the defendant had no remorse, and the judge even remarked the defendant's tears were for himself."He started tearing up, and the sheriff brought him napkins, and the judge, after taking a long pause, stated, 'You are crying only for yourself in this room. You don't cry for him. You don't cry for own family. You cry for yourself. You didn't express any remorse towards your actions,'" said Bulat Kamelov, the restaurant's bar manager. "It was sickening. There was no explanation why that occurred. Nothing."The state's attorney's statement said a minivan pulled up and blocked Patterson at his car. Surveillance video shows the front passenger getting out of the van and pointing a black gun with an extended magazine at Patterson. The person can be seen pulling the driver's door open, during which time, a shot was fired. Police found Patterson lying in the street with a gunshot wound to his chest. Police put out a detailed description of the van, which officers found at a gas station in south Baltimore. When officers tried to stop the van, the driver fled. Officers later found the van unoccupied in Cherry Hill. Fingerprints taken from inside the van matched Wise, the prosecutor's statement said.The prosecutor's statement said cellphone evidence put Wise's phone in the area of the shooting at the time of the shooting.Wise allowed police to check his cellphone, where detectives found a text message he sent to his girlfriend, stating he was out robbing, though he immediately said he was joking. One text said: "Im (sic) rey get booked for a (expletive) murder and you keep trying to be (expletive) smart."The statement said detectives found photos on the phone showing Wise wearing the same clothing the shooter was wearing on video.

Exclusively through the mobile Shop Samsung app, shoppers can snag a Galaxy S23+ for as little as $300 this week. On top of a flat 25% discount on the standard $1,000 price tag, Samsung is also offering up to $600 in trade-in credits for qualifying devices. Be sure to check this deal out through the Shop Samsung app via mobile to get the maximum discount!
As if there weren't enough stellar Cyber Monday Samsung deals to check out this weekend, another insane offer is available exclusively through the Shop Samsung app that can get you a new Galaxy 23+ for as little as $300. An impressive offer on one of the best Samsung phones available right now — if you have the right device to trade-in.
How this Shop Samsung Galaxy S23+ trade-in deal works
If you're reading this article on your mobile device, the good news is you're already ahead of the game. When you click the link above, you'll be prompted to either open the Shop Samsung app or install it via an app store if you don't have it on your device. This is important, since going to Samsung's desktop site won't include a particular part of this deal!
Once the app opens, you'll be redirected straight to the Galaxy S23+ product page, where you'll receive an exclusive 25% discount on the phone straight up. That means, by default, the Galaxy S23+ starts at just $750 for the 256GB model and $840 for the 512GB model, saving you up to $280 off the price of one of the best Android phones around.
However, if you have a device to trade-in, Samsung will first apply the value of that device towards the standard price tag of the Galaxy S23+, then take 25% off the remaining balance of the phone. So, say you decide to go with a 256GB model and have an old Galaxy S22 to trade (which earns you $500 in trade-in credits), the final price of the phone drops to just $375!
Other top Samsung phones, like the Galaxy Z Fold 4 or even a Galaxy S22 Ultra, can earn you the full $600 trade-in credit depending on the condition, plus phones from Google, Apple, and other devices such as smartwatches and tablets can be traded in. However, the values vary by model and condition, so you'll want to check what its worth through Samsung's trade-in calculator to see what you'll get.
Trade in or not, you're getting a Galaxy S23+ as its best price of the year. The fine print on this deal may be a bit convoluted, sure, but it's one of the best Android phone deals by far for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Get a Samsung Galaxy S23+ for as little as $300 with this amazing Cyber Monday deal - Android Police
Shocking new research has revealed Australia prints a whopping 10.6 billion paper receipts each year and because most are coated with toxic chemicals, they can't be recycled, which is taking a huge toll on our environment.
The report, titled The Life Journey of an Average Receipt, showed that printing paper receipts was the equivalent of producing 96,227 metric tonnes of carbon — or having 20,918 cars on our roads — and generated the same amount of energy that could power 18,500 homes.
Funded by a CSIRO grant, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) study was commissioned by Aussie start-up Slyp, which aims to reduce the amount of paper receipts headed for landfill, in favour of digital versions connected to banking or business apps and delivered through smart devices.

"UTS did a six to 12-month research project, it was extremely thorough, on the lifecycle of the receipt supply chain. It was certainly more alarming than what we anticipated and demonstrates the reason for change, and change takes a village or an army, as they say," Slyp CEO Paul Weingarth told Yahoo News Australia about the world-first study.
As the average length of a receipt is 27.85cm long, the amount Australia produces each year would extend 2.95 million kilometres, meaning they could stretch from the Earth to the Moon, a distance of 384,400km, a staggering 7.6 times. "It's a lot of paper," Weingarth said.
The hidden toll of paper receipts
The study, which compared environmental costs of paper receipts to sustainable digital alternatives, also delved into the supply chain impact, where there were further surprises. According to the report, producing receipts in Australia every year uses up 150,462 trees, 1.56 million litres of water, 96,227 metric carbons of energy, and 104.7 million kilowatts of energy. By comparison, digital receipts use zero trees, no water, 3,037 metric carbons of energy and 7.1 million kilowatts of energy.
Another eye-opening fact is that most receipts are printed on thermal paper, coated with chemical Bisphenol A (BPA), making them non-recyclable and 1,000 times more toxic than BPA exposure on a plastic bottle. "Thermal paper is a special kind of fine paper that is coated with a chemical that changes colour when exposed to heat, instead of using ink for printing," the report states.

The health impacts of thermal paper receipts have also been called into question due to the possible effects on human hormones, with research suggesting links between BPA and increased blood pressure, fertility issues, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Some retailers including Coles and Woolworths said they had already stepped away from using BPA coating, while key players including Amazon, Google, NAB, Chemist Warehouse and the Australian Retailers Association are collaborating with Slyp in its vision to create digital alternatives.
Digital receipts the way forward
While receipts are a key part of the transaction exchange between a buyer and seller, Mr Weingarth said 40 per cent of Aussies had stopped carrying a wallet or bank card and used smart devices to make payments. Therefore, it made sense for receipts to be received digitally through a banking app or Apple Wallet allowing customers to "pay and walk away".
"By switching to a digital-first mindset, we can create a transaction experience that's not only more convenient for the customer but also more environmentally friendly for our planet," Mr Weingarth said.
Coinciding with Black Friday sales, Slyp has spearheaded a consortium of key industry players called FutureProof to transform the way Aussies receive and manage receipts. "In partnership with the government, we are working together to affect change," Mr Weingarth said. "It's exciting."

Calls for major change in Australia over little-known receipt detail: 'Alarming' - Yahoo News Australia
Not every corner of the plant-based food industry has been burned. After the boom-and-bust cycle of Beyond Meat stock, analysts have wondered what comes next for the plant-based food space. The answer could be seed improvement, which is emerging as an area to watch as weight-loss drugs gain popularity and scientists evaluate how to best feed a growing population. "Better-for-you food from the start is a mega trend," said Kristen Owen, an executive director at Oppenheimer. "Whether you want to call it 'food is health' or sort of 'bespoke nutrition,' this is the direction that the market is heading. And we have, now, some really important tools to unlock that potential." The alternative protein market Beyond Meat's struggles have left some skeptical about which companies have what it takes to meet the needs of consumers who want to avoid animal-based products for health or environmental reasons. After topping $230 per share at its highest point, Beyond Meat stock now trades below $7. Wall Street sees more pain ahead. The average analyst has a sell rating on the stock with a price target of $5.75, which implies shares could fall another 13%, according to LSEG. BYND ALL mountain Beyond's stock performance Pricing challenges, uncertainty around health benefits and limited interest from restaurants are among reasons why alternative meat has struggled, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Michael Canfield. He said the firm sees less of an opportunity than was originally expected for the market. Beyond Meat's annual sales peaked in 2021 at $464.7 million, as people sampled its products. But two years later, sales for 2023 are expected to fall to $336.4 million, according to FactSet. Still, other plant-based foods are faring better, Canfield said. Despite fake meat's fall from grace, analysts are optimistic on the investing opportunity around companies like Corteva , which makes seeds more nutritious and improves crop yields. The idea is that, through science, companies can help farmers produce higher-protein crops like corn or soybeans . The process starts with the seeds rather than adding to the product later. That's beneficial because the former process can require fewer resources to execute when running at scale. Plant-based foods with more protein and nutrients are likely to be favored by consumers who are looking to add protein to their diet without eating traditional meat. These buyers may have been turned off by fake meat due to taste or concerns about its health benefits. CTVA .SPX YTD mountain Corteva vs. the S & P 500 this year Corteva has underperformed in 2023, losing more than 21%. But Wall Street sees a rebound ahead, with the average analyst holding a buy rating and price target reflecting an upside of more than 26%, per LSEG. Morningstar analyst Seth Goldstein said the stock has mainly struggled because it has been a down year for its crop protection business. But Goldstein said the downcycle is temporary, with an end expected later this year or early next year. "The markets take a shorter-term view, looking at the near-term profit decline," he said. "We're taking a longer-term view, and we view the recent sell off as a good opportunity for investors to take a look at this high-quality name." Morgan Stanley analyst Vincent Andrews also expects the bout of underperformance is an opportunity to buy in. He guided 2023 EBITDA forecasts above Wall Street consensus, noting that the seed price and mix should positively surprise analysts. 'A wholly untapped opportunity' Part of the company's investing thesis is tied to the broader healthy food trend, Owen said. As weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound become increasingly mainstream , she said there's more consciousness about seeking out healthier foods. And addressing that demand starts with seed providers, Owen said. "How food and health are related is a wholly untapped opportunity," Owen said. Investors may have heard of Corteva because it was spun off from the chemicals giant then known as DowDuPont in 2019 as an agriculture pure play. Elsewhere, Owen noted Ingredion and Green Plains as other stocks to watch around the trend. Ingredion's plant-focused business could start driving earnings growth in 2025 as the category recovers, Owen said. She said the company is also in a good position because it is more tied to dairy, which has performed better in the alternative food market than fake meat. Products derived from oat milk and almond milk have gained in popularity. In 2022, about 18% of U.S. households were purchasing plant-based meat, according to the Good Food Institute . However, about 41% of households were buying plant-based milk, the nonprofit think tank said. The repeat rate for plant-based milks was also higher, it said. Meanwhile, Green Plains is developing an ultra-high protein through ethanol processes, which Owen said could help the biorefinery grow its earnings potential. Both Ingredion and Green Plains have underperformed the broader market in 2023. Despite the tough year, the average analyst has buy ratings for each name with a price target reflecting upside ahead. There's a business argument beyond the alternative protein market that can bode well when forecasting demand, Morningstar's Goldstein said. These companies' products also help farmers increase crop yields, which can be particularly useful as more food is needed for a growing world population. Beyond Corteva, Goldstein pointed to plant-protein producer Archer-Daniels-Midland as another name that could benefit from moves to meet the needs of an increasing population. Though the stock has tumbled around 20% this year, the average analyst holds a buy rating with an upside implying shares could climb more than 24% in the next year, according to LSEG. Ultimately, Owen said a key reason to like Corteva — and other seed-focused stocks — is the focus on products that are useful to farmers. Corteva's scale is also a plus in the agricultural industry, the analyst added. "Corteva is a really important partner for those growers," Owen said. "They have, by virtue of some of their existing assets, some of the best tools that farmers can use in their toolkit." — CNBC's Michael Bloom contributed to this report

The little-known agriculture stocks shaping the future of alternative protein - CNBC
Text description provided by the architects. Big-Little House is a small house with a small footprint built on a small plot but with large volumes. What makes this house large? One-fourth of the 1500 square foot plot is empty and left unbuilt for a garden. All the major living spaces, viz., the double-height living room, the family space, the dining, and the kitchen, are tied together by the fact that they all inhabit a large volume that overlooks the garden.
The car park was deliberately lowered in height such that the kitchen and dining that sit over it remain connected to the garden volume. This configuration led to split levels on the upper levels, which in turn helped bring down the overall volume of the building. The upper floors housed two bedrooms and a master bedroom with a common terrace.
The plot was situated right next to a eucalyptus plantation. For us, this was nothing but a vertical extension of the garden, and it gave the bedrooms upstairs a beautiful view as well. All elements in the living room, such as the staircase, are in metal so that they are light and see-through, making the living room and garden read as a single space.
The front façade of the building was designed as a brick screen to conceal some of the service areas, like the utility space, which was placed at the front of the building as per Vasu. The facade was an experiment in stacking bricks on the edge to create a playful surface. A large metal box cuts through this to create a connection to the street from the kid's bedroom.
