A former high school guidance counselor in California has been charged with sexually assaulting a teen student. Police believe there may be additional victims.Julie Tichon, 37, committed a “series of sexual assaults” against a 16-year-old male in February and March, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release.'Educators and school staff have a fundamental duty to create a safe environment for all students, and when that trust is broken, it affects the entire community.'Before the allegations, Tichon had been a guidance counselor at YULA High School — the largest and oldest modern Orthodox Yeshiva high school in Los Angeles.Tichon was charged with three counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and one count of oral copulation with a person under the age of 18. If convicted as charged, Tichon could be sentenced to up to five years in prison. While she's charged with assaulting one victim, police said they believe there could be additional victims, which “could potentially add to the criminal case.”On May 28, YULA Head of School Rabbi Arye Sufrin sent an email notifying parents that he had received reports of a female staff member having “an inappropriate relationship of a sexual nature” with two male students, according to Forward, which said it obtained the email. The school notified the LAPD about the child sex abuse accusations.“The suspect used her position of responsibility to gain these victims’ trust then began inappropriate sexual relationships with them,” Detective Russ Hess said in the LAPD press release. “Rather than advising them, she was abusing them.”School officials told KTTV-TV their "highest priority is the safety and wellness of our students. Out of respect and sensitivity for the privacy of our school community, we are not going to discuss details related to the recent news reports." School officials noted that they are fully cooperating with the police investigation.Tichon had worked at YULA High School for four years but is no longer employed there, according to officials. “Educators and school staff have a fundamental duty to create a safe environment for all students, and when that trust is broken, it affects the entire community,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement. “Our office is dedicated to seeking justice for the victim and holding this individual fully accountable.”Gascón continued, “To every victim and family affected by such crimes, please know that we stand with you and will continue to fight for your safety and justice.” Tichon pleaded not guilty during her Thursday arraignment. The Los Angeles Superior Court released Tichon on her own recognizance; she's scheduled back in court Nov. 1.Anyone with information regarding the child sex crime case is asked to contact Detective Hess at 213-473-0561 or the Los Angeles Police Department at 877-LAPD-247.

A new report from Canalys reveals that Mac shipments last quarter remained relatively flat year over year. While some manufacturers like Lenovo saw shipments jump by as much as 7.7%, Mac shipments increased by just 0.5 percent. To put that into perspective, Apple shipped 2.32 million Macs in Q2 2024. By comparison, Apple shipped 2.31 million Macs in the same quarter last year. The overall PC market, meanwhile, saw a bit more action last quarter. Specifically, PC shipments for the quarter increased by 3.7% year over year. Mac shipments made up 12.3% of the total PC market share for the quarter. Leading up the pack were HP and Dell, with 26.5% and 24% market shares, respectively. Notably, revenue from Mac sales has remained somewhat steady over the last 2 years. Since 2023, Apple’s quarterly Mac revenue has hovered between $6.8 and $7.7 billion. Not surprisingly, 2021 and 2022 were record-setting years for Mac-based revenue due to Apple dropping its M1-powered Mac lineup. Those devices included a new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, and a completely redesigned iMac which all launched between November 2020 and May 2021. This, of course, was followed by the release of the M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBook Pro models in October of 2021. This shift from Intel processors to Apple Silicon a few years ago naturally sparked an avalanche of upgrades. Predictably, consumers flocked to Apple’s new hardware, which offered improved efficiency and jaw-dropping performance. In Q4 of 2022, for instance, Mac revenue hit a record-breaking $11.5 billion. New M4 Macs are on the horizon While it remains to be seen if Apple’s quarterly revenue will reach those heights again, Apple’s foot remains fixed on the gas. Looking ahead, Apple will reportedly hold a special event in October where it will unveil four brand new M4-based Macs. That list includes a brand new iMac, a Mac mini, and refreshed 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. Apple’s M3 iMac hit stores last October so it will be interesting to see if Apple starts implementing a more aggressive upgrade schedule for the iMac. Recall that it took Apple more than two years to refresh its M1 iMac, which was released in April 2021.

Researchers have successfully brought back to life a mysterious seed discovered in a cave in the Judean Desert during the 1980s, radiocarbon dated to more than 1,000 years old! To add to the intrigue, DNA analysis links it to a genus of tree that, although now extinct, is mentioned in the Bible. Named ‘Sheba’, scientists believe it to be a remnant of a now-extinct population of trees that once thrived in the Southern Levant, a region that includes present-day Israel, Palestine, and Jordan. Scientists Bring a 32,000-year-old Seed Back to Life The Judean Date Palm: Extinct Tree Resurrected from Ancient Seeds The sapling grown from the seed, planted around 14 years ago.
