Cliffhanger
One of the challenges of operating a convenience store is theft by shoplifters. In the United States alone, the losses of small city retail stores were estimated at over $94 billion in 2021, Bloomberg reported. Washington State recorded the highest retail store losses from theft in the country, according to the National Retail Federation. Local stores have installed security cameras, motion sensors, and inventory control systems to help prevent shoplifting, an NRF survey showed. It remains to be seen if such high-tech security measures work, but location and size are definitely effective in discouraging shoplifters for one remote convenience store in China. The tiny wooden store at the Shiniuzhai Scenic Area in the Chinese province of Hunan is only two square meters. Opened in 2018, the store recently trended online after a popular military blogger with 889,400 followers posted on the popular Chinese social network Weibo a photo with the caption: “The most inconvenient convenience store,” CNN reported. Few customers are served by the store but not because of its limited offerings. It just so happens to be located along a route less traveled called via ferrata. The pathway for climbers consists of steel bars driven into the mountainside to serve as steps and metal anchors for fastening climbing ropes. In any case, the store is convenient for adventurers summiting the mountain, as they can get a water refill or buy a beverage for hydration while perched on the side of a vertical cliff. At the same time, the store looks inconvenient for its sole attendant as it hangs halfway to the top of the cliff, 120 meters from the ground, with its floor supported only by steel brackets bolted to the cliffside. Moreover, restocking requires the storekeeper to pull up supplies from the ground with a rope, according to Oddity Central. To others, inconvenient is an understatement for the store hanging from a cliff. Scary should be a more accurate description......»»
Nat’l decongestion summit all set
There are 179 persons deprived of liberty for every 100,000 Filipinos, according to available data from the Justice Sector Coordinating Council that reveals the sad state of inmates in the country. The number was derived from a survey conducted as of 30 December 2021, it was learned. This significant figure has resulted in overcrowded prison facilities in the Philippines, prompting the JSCC to organize a two-day National Jail Decongestion Summit slated next month. The summit aims to bring together key stakeholders and experts, both domestic and international, to formulate comprehensive strategies addressing the overcrowding issue in correctional facilities. The summit is supported by the European Union’s Justice Sector Reform Programme: Governance in Justice II (GOJUST II) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the summit receives funding from the Australian Government and the European Union. Given the alarming 386 percent rate of overcrowding in the criminal justice system and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology’s detention facilities experiencing a 70 percent overcrowding, the summit will serve as a crucial platform for collaborative discussions, innovative idea exchange, and exploration of evidence-based practices......»»

VAWC cases in Davao City rise
The number of reported Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) cases in Davao City has increased in 2022 compared to the previous year, according to Lorna Mandin, head of the City Mayor's Office-Integrated Gender and Development Division (CMO-IGDD). Mandin revealed that the cases have risen to approximately 2,000, attributing the previous reduction during the pandemic to limited access and fear of going out. Most cases are from Talomo District, with victims aged 18 to 35 and 36 to 64. The increase in reported cases can be linked to more people reporting incidents compared to 2020 and 2021 when fear of Covid-19 deterred reporting. The IGDD handles cases falling under Republic Act 9262, involving perpetrators with an intimate relationship, not necessarily married. About 20 to 25 percent of these cases opt for psychological intervention. From January to December 2022, CMO-IGDD served approximately 1,206 clients, with 1,191 being women and 15 children. The department provides legal assistance, representation, and follow-up on cases, especially for those in remote areas. The Department of Social Welfare and Development-Davao Region (DWSD-Davao.....»»
