The easing of coronavirus restrictions gave law-abiding Tynesiders a taste of freedom in April.
With pub beer gardens opening up,and non-essential shops welcoming customers once again, the North East began to feel a little less 'locked down'.
But a long list of criminals scuppered their chances of enjoying these freedoms as they got themselves locked up last month.
Among them was Lee Wall who was convicted of murdering his friend Darren Fowler in Gateshead.
Wall was handed a life sentence.
Meanwhile danger driver Mohammed Youssaf, who killed 18-year-old Emma Guilbert as she walked through Fenham in Newcastle, was locked up for 30 months.
Here are some of the criminals who were jailed last month:
Gemma Hornsby and Clare Cann
Two women high on drugs held a student captive at knifepoint for six hours and threatened to murder him in a terrifying ordeal.
The victim had encountered Gemma Hornsby once previously but had no idea what she was capable of when she got in touch and asked to meet him at a pub near St James' Park.
She took him to her flat in Arthurs Hill, Newcastle, around 10pm, where Clare Cann was also present.
The victim, originally from Lithuania, told her he didn't like knives and she put it away but then asked if he had any money.
Paul Reid, prosecuting, said: "She went to the kitchen and came back with a much larger kitchen knife and started stabbing at him saying 'I swear to God I will put this thing through you, I've done it before'.
"He was very frightened and gave her £20."
He made towards the kitchen but was ordered to sit down by Hornsby.
She asked for his phone and when he refused, she threatened him again with the knife and he handed it over.
Hornsby took his bank cards and when he said there was no money, she said she would go and check.
She gave Cann the knife and told her to keep him there until she got back from the cashpoint.
The victim eventually persuaded Cann to let him go but as he was about to flee, Hornsby came back.
Hornsby inflicted small cuts to his neck and shoulder by pressing the knife onto him.
She left again, giving Cann the knife and telling her if she helped him, she would kill her too.
Cann told the victim he should tackle Hornsby and that she would not stop him if he did but then she came back with a man.
The man released the victim around 4am, warning him if he went to the police he would end up dead.
Hornsby, 35, previously of Tamworth Road, Arthurs Hill, and Cann, 35, of Westgate Hill, Newcastle, both admitted false imprisonment. Hornsby also admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm and theft in relation to the offence, which happened in June 2017.
Cann admitted a separate offence of robbery after appearing to befriend a lone drunk woman in Newcastle city centre on June 2019, linking arms with her, saying they were going to a party then snatching her handbag near Swan House roundabout.
Hornsby was jailed for three years and two months and Cann was locked up for two years and eight months.
Jason Denton
Drug dealer Jason Denton was stopped on the A1 with cocaine worth more than £1.7m.
Denton was pulled over by Durham Constabulary's Specialist Crime Operations Unit in Nottinghamshire last September, as part of an operation to target drug networks.
A total of 17kg of drugs – believed to be the force's largest ever drugs seizure - were found in a purpose-built hidden compartment within Denton's Vauxhall Combo van.
Officers were assisted by Nottinghamshire Police when the van was stopped on the A1.
Denton, of Lyne Road, Spennymoor, later pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply controlled drugs.
Appearing at Teesside Crown Court on Friday, the 37-year-old was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison.
Jason Brennan
This racist thug left a shop worker with cuts to his hands from shards of glass by smashing a door panel with a machete after being refused free booze.
Jason Brennan was told he could not have four cans for free when he went into the off-licence in Byker, Newcastle, on New Years' Eve last year.
In response, the 30-year-old went off and armed himself with a machete and used it to smash a water pipe outside then struck the glass door panel as the owner tried to lock it.
Newcastle Crown Court heard members of the public bravely tried to intervene while the victim attempted to lower the shop shutters.
But Brennan then racially abused her.
It was only when armed police arrived at the scene Brennan, who had caused £1,100 damage, dropped the weapon.
Brennan, of Grace Street, Byker, admitted racially aggravated assault, racially aggravated criminal damage and possessing a bladed article.
He was sentenced to 20 months behind bars with a restraining order to keep him away from the shop for five years.
Joseph Veitch and Terence Foster
A brave couple tackled a pair of burglars as they raided their garden.
Terence Foster and Joseph Veitch are behind bars for breaking into a shed and outside storage box at the home in Westerhope, Newcastle.
Newcastle Crown Court heard how the homeowner went to investigate after hearing a noise in his garden, at just after midnight on March 28.
Once outside he noticed the shed, which was normally closed, was open, explained prosecutor Stuart Graham.
The outside storage box had also been disturbed, and there were items of property strewn across the garden.
Mr Graham explained how the homeowner then got hold of Foster, who was still in his garden.
The man's partner then attempted to use a shelving unit to push Veitch off the fence.
When police arrived they arrested Foster at the scene. Veitch was found close by and also arrested.
Foster, 33, of Amble Grove, in Sandyford, Newcastle, and Veitch, 40 of Cartmel Green in Slatyford, Newcastle, both pleaded guilty to an offence of non-dwelling burglary.
The court was told that Foster has 51 previous convictions, dating back to 2001, while Veitch has 52 with his offending starting in the late 1990s.
Foster and Veitch were sentenced to 10 months in prison.
Gillian Murray
This despicable thief who tricked her way into an elderly man's home and stole a pendant containing his wife's ashes was wearing it when she was arrested.
Drug addict Gillian Murray went to the flat of the 85-year-old and spun him a yarn about needing to look around his flat.
While his family were staying away from the vulnerable pensioner due to Covid, Murray spent an hour with him and even kissed him on the cheek before leaving.
Despite his kindness in giving her a drink and making her welcome, she didn't think twice about stealing items of huge sentimental value.
As well as the pendant, she took jewellery belonging to his late wife and a ring the victim got for his 18th birthday.
The victim has been left feeling unsafe in his home of 30 years and his daughter said the offence was "sickening".
Now Murray, 41, of Claremont North Avenue, Gateshead, has been jailed for 18 months at Newcastle Crown Court after admitting burglary.
Reece Nixon
Thug Reece Nixon repeatedly punched a man and stole his mobile phone at a Metro station.
The incident happened after he and the victim both got off a train at Fellgate Metro Station in Jarrow.
The victim attempted to get away via a lift at the station but Nixon followed him and began punching him again in a sustained attack.
The 24-year-old was arrested later that day, Sunday April 24, 2019, on suspicion of robbery. During a search of Nixon's home, officers found the victim's mobile phone.
Nixon, of Prendwick Court, Hebburn, was jailed for nine months after pleading guilty to ABH and theft at Newcastle Crown Court.
He was also sentenced to an additional 15 months imprisonment as part of a separate investigation.
Colin Proctor
Paedophile Colin Proctor went on to abuse two young girls after a decision was made not to charge him for exposing himself to another child and inciting sexual activity.
The youngster told her family what Proctor had done and police were called but a decision was made not to prosecute him at the time.
Despite that "clear warning shot", he went on to subject two other little girls under the age of 10 to sexual assaults.
Proctor, 48, of Melrose Avenue, Bedlington, Northumberland, was found guilty of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and four sexual assaults on children aged under 10, after a trial.
He was jailed for 12 years at Newcastle Crown Court.
Danny Stothard
This savage thug, who tried to murder his friend in a frenzied street attack, has been jailed for 16 years.
Danny Stothard repeatedly stamped on his unconscious victim's head and body in a chilling act of revenge - while children from a nearby school walked by.
The 29-year-old went to Robert Tullick's home on the afternoon of January 29 last year in a bid to clear the air following a previous falling out.
But rather than build bridges, Stothard launched a brutal attack on his friend which started inside the house and continued out on the street in broad daylight, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
The victim suffered 27 separate injuries which included 12 blows to the head consistent with stamping. He was also left with facial fractures and was taken to hospital by air ambulance for life-saving treatment.
Stothard, of Primrose Street, Sunderland, denied attempted murder but was convicted by a jury following a three-day trial at Newcastle Crown Court in October 2020.
Last month a judge sentenced him to 16 years behind bars with an extended licence period of three years.
The court heard a passing neighbour helped to save the victim's life after seeing him lying injured in the street.
Andrew Kerr
Andrew Kerr subjected a Good Samaritan, who offered to put him up for the night when he got locked out, to a terrifying sex attack.
Kerr repaid the woman's kindness in offering him shelter after he lost his key by trying to rape her in her own home.
The victim said her traumatic ordeal changed her from a "happy person" to someone who is constantly on edge and has flashbacks about what happened to her.
Bravely reading her impact statement to Newcastle Crown Court herself, the woman said: "I suffer recurring nightmares. I still sometimes wake up and feel he's in bed, which can be terrifying."
Kerr, 26, of Wallace Gardens, Gateshead, denied attempted rape, assault by penetration and sexual assault during a trial in which the victim gave evidence against him, but was found guilty of all charges.
He was jailed for seven years.
The court heard Kerr claimed he had "misread signals" and claimed the woman had consented to what happened.
Kieron Dakers
Kieron Dakers started selling drugs to clear debts accrued by his mother.
Dakers' mum had previously been jailed for selling narcotics and was being chased for £20,000 by someone higher up the chain.
Newcastle Crown Court heard he had assumed responsibility for the debt and was dealing cocaine to try to clear it.
When police raided his then-home on Thornton Court, Newcastle, last January, he was frank with officers and told them there was a "canny bit" of cocaine.
Officers found 145 0.2g bagged deals of cocaine worth £2,900, four sets of digital scales and a small amount of cannabis.
They also recovered a gas-powered BB gun, two lock knives and a knuckle duster, although he was not charged with anything in relation to them.
An examination of Dakers' phone revealed daily drug dealing activity, a debtors list, adverts for drugs and videos of cannabis and pots containing a white substance along with white wraps.
Dakers' partner, Chloe Smith's Facebook messages indicated she had been involved in passing a small number of people on to Dakers to be supplied with cannabis.
Dakers, 23, of Souter Road, Coxlodge, Newcastle, who has 13 previous convictions, pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to supply, offering to supply cannabis and possessing cannabis and was jailed for two years and four months.
Smith, 21, of Kinross Drive, Kenton, Newcastle, admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis and was given a community order.
Peter Hellens
A drug-fuelled party to celebrate a prisoner's release left him so out of it he was back in trouble within hours for driving down the wrong side of the road in a daze.
Peter Hellens' departure from custody was marked with a celebration with other inmates and he consumed a cocktail of narcotics.
But on his first day of freedom he was spotted slowly swerving all over the road, heading into oncoming traffic and forcing an ambulance on its way to an emergency to slow down.
The crook then went on, months later, to rob a woman of a mobile phone as she stood on her doorstep waiting for a taxi, shaking her violently.
But the thief was easily caught after the woman tracked her phone down using GPS.
Now Hellens has been given another prison sentence by a judge at Newcastle Crown Court.
The court heard it was on April 25 last year that he was spotted by an off-duty officer on Front Street, Bedlington, Northumberland, driving very slowly but erratically, swerving and going on the wrong side of the road.
He then went the wrong way around a roundabout and started driving against the flow of traffic on the A192.
An ambulance with its blue lights and sirens on had to slow down and Hellens drove the Ford Fiesta on to grass to get around it. He continued to swerve around until a marked police car turned up and pulled him over.
Tests showed he was nearly three times the limit for cocaine, four times the limit for another drug and had methadone just below the legal limit in his system.
The robbery took place on December 23 last year when a Romanian woman was standing waiting for a taxi.
Hellens approached her and pretended he was delivering a parcel nearby but she told him to come back when her boyfriend was there.
He then grabbed her and shook her hard before stealing her phone.
But she used a facility to find where her phone was and when police went there, they found Hellens' partner present along with the phone and she summoned him home, where he was arrested.
Hellens, 38, of Wharrier Street, Walker, Newcastle, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while unfit through drugs, no insurance and robbery and was jailed for two-and-a-half years.
Lee Higgins
This violent brute subjected his girlfriend to a terrifying attack during which he strangled, headbutted, stamped, punched and tried to bite her.
Lee Higgins bombarded the woman with threatening messages after she went to stay with a friend for a few days, demanding she returned and warning there would be "consequences" if she didn't.
When she went back to her home, she found a hammer near her front door and glass on her bedroom floor.
Within two minutes of her getting in, he turned up, ignored her demands for him to go away and let himself in.
Newcastle Crown Court was told that that Higgins, who was intoxicated, was screaming and demanding to know where she had been for the past three days.
He then launched an attack in which he pinned her to the bed with his forehead up against hers. picked her up and threw her on the floor into the broken glass and punched and headbutted her in the head and face.
When she begged him to stop he said: "We are not done here, I will tell you when were are done," the court was told.
He then tried to bite her cheek but "only caught it slightly" as she resisted. Higgins then stamped on her forearms.
Prosecutors said the victim feared she would be killed in the attack, which lasted about half an hour.
When he left the room, she hid under the bed but he came back and "threw her like a rag doll".
Higgins took her phone and locked the doors so she was unable to leave.
She went to her child's room and tried to climb out of the window but he pulled her back and strangled, headbutted and punched her.
Police were passing by and saw her frantically trying to get out before finally bursting free.
At the time of the attack which took place last July, Higgins was on bail after kicking a policeman in the head as he tried to arrest him on a warrant in November 2019.
The 30-year-old, of Penman Place, North Shields, who has 28 previous convictions, pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assaulting an emergency worker and was jailed for 21 months.
Jeffery Stoker
Prolific burglar Jeffery Stoker pretended he knew the owner of a home he was trying to break in to.
The 33-year-old was spotted by an off-duty police officer while he was trying the door handle of a house on Princess Louise Road, in Blyth, Northumberland.
The officer, who was driving past the house, pulled up and quickly recognised Stoker, who police have described as a "frequent offender".
Stoker told the officer he knew the owner, before walking off.
But when the owner of the house returned, he confirmed he had never seen Stoker before.
Stoker, of Seventh Avenue, Blyth, has previously been convicted of six residential burglaries and was jailed in 2018.
He was arrested on June 28 last year on suspicion of attempted burglary and a judge at Newcastle Crown Court has now sentenced him to 10 months behind bars.
Fraser Cowen and Ishak Bayram
These cowardly teenagers stamped, kicked and punched a passer-by unconscious in a supermarket car park after he refused to give them a cigarette.
Victim John Coxon was on his way home from his brother's home in Blyth, Northumberland, when he crossed paths with a gang of teens outside Morrison's.
After turning down a request from one of them for a cigarette, he was approached by Fraser Cowen, who had a glass in his hand and challenged him to a fight and started goading him.
Newcastle Crown Court heard Mr Coxon felt he had no option but to try to stand up to the thug and his pals but was struck to the head with the glass by Cowen.
He was knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and stamped on by Cowen and Ishak Bayram in a shocking attack caught on CCTV.
Former soldier Cowen had been released under investigation for a previous vicious attack at the time, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
In that, earlier offence, in March 2019, he and a youth went to the home of a man in Gateshead. The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, stabbed the victim three times and was give a youth rehabilitation order at youth court.
Cowen, who admitted GBH in relation to that offence, was then among 12 to 15 youths hanging around at the entrance to Morrison's, in Blyth, on Saturday, June 29 2019.
The court heard Cowen was looking for trouble when he approached Mr Coxon, who had stopped at the shop to use the cash machine around 11pm.
Mr Coxon moved away but was followed by Cowen and Bayram, who tried to lure him out of sight of CCTV.
He stayed where he was and Cowen squared up to him, smashing him to the temple with the glass.
The victim ended up on the ground and both attackers then rained blows with fists and feet, with Cowen straddling him at one point as he rained punches on him.
As Mr Coxon lay face down and unconscious, the pair walked away but then Bayram returned twice more to punch him again before Cowen took something from his pocket.
They then walked away with their arms round each other.
The footage shows the victim stirring after a couple of minutes but he is very unsteady on his feet and clearly badly injured.
He managed to make it to his brother's home nearby by which time he was "drenched in blood with swollen features".
He was later found to have fractures to bones in his skull and face, his left ear was full of blood, he could barely open his eyes and he had grazes and cuts to his forehead.
Cowen, 19 at the time and now 21, of Hortondale Grove, Blyth and Ishak, now 19 but who had just turned 18 at the time, of Newsham Road, Blyth both admitted GBH with intent.
Cowen, who also admitted a separate burglary and the earlier GBH, was jailed for a total of seven-and-a-half years. He got a 50% discount on his sentence because he pleaded guilty early and was willing to give evidence for the prosecution against Bayram if he went to trial.
Bayram was jailed for six years and three months. Both men were also given restraining orders.
Daniel Campbell
This rapist filmed himself sexually assaulting his sleeping victim, but was caught when she found the footage on his phone and changed his pin number so he couldn't delete it.
Daniel Campbell took advantage of his unconscious victim and recorded some of what he did to her on his mobile phone.
A court heard the woman woke up to find her shorts and underwear were inside out and when he went to the toilet she checked his phone and was horrified to find the footage in his deleted folders.
The quick-thinking victim changed the pin number on his phone so he was unable to permanently erase it and contacted police.
Now Campbell, 26, has been jailed for six years at Newcastle Crown Court after he pleaded guilty to rape and three sexual assault offences.
As well as the six year prison sentence, Campbell, of South Burns, Chester-le-Street, County Durham, will be subject to indefinite sex offender registration and an indefinite restraining order.
Stephen Ambler
Stephen Ambler stole a sleeping family's car before crashing it and fleeing.
The burglar broke into a Hetton-le-Hole home while the occupants were asleep upstairs.
He swiped the keys to a black Mercedes that was parked on the drive, before leaving the home and climbing into the driver's seat, Newcastle Crown Court was told.
He was ready to make off, but it appears nature called, and the 42-year-old climbed back out of the car to urinate in the street in front of a CCTV camera.
He crashed the £17,000 vehicle just two miles away and fled the scene. But Ambler was caught out by police due to the CCTV footage of his shameless public urination, leading to his arrest.
Months before the Hetton-le-Hole burglary, Ambler had also broken into a hairdresser's and stolen brushes and dryers, causing £1,500 worth of damage.
A judge at Newcastle Crown Court handed down the five-year jail term, after Amber admitted a string of offences including burglary, aggravated vehicle taking and driving whilst disqualified.
Martin Moody
This brute threatened to "put a hammer through" his girlfriend's head then strangled her repeatedly.
Martin Moody had only been in a relationship with the woman for two-and-a-half weeks when he kicked off about a text message she received from a friend.
Newcastle Crown Court heard he called her a "s*** and a s***" during the aggressive behaviour on November 13 last year.
Moody kept interrupting proceedings at Newcastle Crown Court on a video-link from prison, swearing and complaining the prosecutor was making him sound like an "animal".
Matthew Collins, prosecuting, told the court: "He threatened to put a hammer through her head."
She asked him to leave and he did but the following morning he started bombarding her with texts and calls, which she ignored.
After being ignored throughout the day, he turned up at her home around 6.30pm and they argued, with Moody complaining about her not spending time with him.
Later that evening, he was watching TV with the victim and her housemate when he flew into a rage again.
Prosecutors said he threw his mobile phone at the wall then grabbed the victim by the neck.
The victim's friend pretended to phone the police, bringing an end to the incident, then Moody fled.
The two women and a man later went to confront Moody and he pulled a knife from his waistband and threatened to slit the throat of his partner's friend.
Moody, 31, of Saint Luke's Road, Percy Main, North Shields, who has 87 previous convictions, pleaded guilty to common assault, threatening another with a blade, criminal damage and perverting the course of justice and was jailed for 18 months.
Peter Hughes
Paedophile Peter Hughes robbed his victim of his childhood and left him feeling worthless.
Hughes subjected the boy to shocking attacks from the age of six.
The 47-year-old pleaded guilty to offences including rape, indecent assault and sexual assault during a hearing at Newcastle Crown Court.
And his victim told of the impact the crimes had on his life
Hughes, of Hadrian Court, Killingworth, North Tyneside, who was cautioned for possessing indecent images in 2013, pleaded guilty to two counts of oral rape, indecent assault, and two counts of sexual assault.
He was jailed for 11 years with an extended licence period of an extra year. He will also be subject to sex offender registration, a sexual harm prevention order and a restraining order for life.
Edward Brady
Predatory paedophile Edward Brady indecently assaulted two young girls for more than 10 years.
Brady subjected his victims to a campaign of sexual abuse from 1991 to 2003 where he forced the young girls to carry out sex acts on him and he sexually touched them.
In 2013, he also placed a camera in a toilet roll holder in a bathroom to obtain footage of his victims for his own sexual gratification.
The victims bravely came forward in 2019 and Northumbria Police's Safeguarding unit launched an investigation.
Brady, 61, was questioned by police and he was later charged with two counts of indecency with a child, three counts of indecent assault and one count of voyeurism.
Detective Constable Karin Mcmorrow led the investigation and hopes the sentencing can help the women move on with their lives.
Det Cons Mcmorrow said: "This has been such an awful case. Brady is a vile man and thankfully behind bars where he belongs. He exploited two innocent girls for his own sickening sexual gratification leaving his victims with a lifetime of emotional suffering.
"They have been so brave to speak out against a man who should have been a pillar of trust in their lives and I hope their strength can help encourage other victims who have suffered abuse - no matter when in their lives - to come forward.
"These victims are living a life sentence for what Brady has done to them but I hope the sentencing today can give them some closure."
Brady of Coast Road, Heaton, pleaded guilty to all six offences and was sentenced to seven years and eight months at Newcastle Crown Court last Friday.
He was also given an indefinite restraining order and indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which places strict restrictions on him as well as certain requirements he will have to comply with upon his release from prison.
Adam Lumley
This paedophile network pervert who took illegal photos of a child was caught with thousands of indecent images of youngsters.
Adam Lumley exchanged thousands of photographs and videos with like-minded sex offenders online.
The 29-year-old, convicted of indecent exposure last year, had amassed his vile collection between 2013 and 2020.
Newcastle Crown Court heard he also distributed some of the material and was part of a network of paedophiles sharing images online.
Lumley pleaded guilty to distributing indecent images and possessing 2,611 of the most serious, category A, images, including 1,628 movies. He also had 1,674 category B and 3,021 category C.
The ages of the children ranged from babies to 15 year olds.
There were many thousands of other images on his devices and cloud platforms that police did not examine to see if they were illegal.
He admitted he planned to upload some pictures he took of a child doing a private act in exchange for more material from other users.
Lumley also admitted voyeurism, possessing extreme pornography involving an adult and a dog and possessing prohibited images of a child.
Lumley, of Stanton Street, Arthurs Hill, Newcastle, was jailed for three years and two months and made subject to a sexual harm prevention order and sex offenders registration for ten years.
Matthew Darling
A couple out walking their dogs were subjected to a shocking attack for asking a driver to be careful when he nearly reversed into one of their pets.
Attacker Matthew Darling had just come out of the Barking Dog social club, in Wallsend, and got in a car with friends, when the victims and their three dogs crossed paths with them.
The car Darling was a passenger in reversed out of its parking space and nearly hit one of the dogs, prompting the woman to knock on the bonnet and tell the driver to be careful.
That sparked a violent reaction from Darling, which ended with the woman being knocked unconscious and her partner in a critical care unit in hospital having seizures due to a head injury.
Prosecutors told Newcastle Crown Court it was on October 5 2019 that Darling got out of the car, irate and shouting they were nowhere near the dogs.
Another man got out of the car and tried to stop Darling abusing the couple but still he persisted and resisted attempts to pull him back into the car.
He then reached for something inside the car to use as a weapon and struck the man on the head with it. After calling for reinforcements from within the club, Philip Croney then came out and also punched the man to the head.
Darling then punched the woman in the face, knocking her to the ground, unconscious. He then hit her partner twice more to the head before getting in the car and fleeing.
The male victim suffered a significant cut to the skin and soft tissue on his head and had two seizures at accident and emergency and was taken to the critical care ward.
He also had soreness to various parts of his body, including his chest, abdomen, wrist and shoulder. His partner was left with two black eyes and a broken nose.
Darling, 28, of Sydney Grove, Wallsend, who has six previous convictions, pleaded guilty to inflicting GBH and actual bodily harm and was jailed for 25 months.
Croney, 32, of Moor Drive, Benton Rise, Wallsend, who has six previous convictions, including violent disorder in 2011 and battery last year, admitted a public order offence.
He was sentenced to four months suspended for 12 months with 100 hours unpaid work and an alcohol abstinence monitoring requirement for 90 days.
Stephen Palmer
Stephen Palmer has been jailed for four months after a raid on the Toby Carvery pub on Ponteland Road in Newcastle.
The 22-year-old forced entry to the property just after 2.30am on a Saturday morning, and swiped a laptop before fleeing the scene on foot.
But the break-in activated the alarm and Palmer, who matched the description of the suspect, was found loitering nearby by police.
He was arrested and found to be in possession of a haul of other suspected stolen goods.
Palmer, of Moorview Crescent, Newcastle, pleaded guilty to burglary and handling stolen goods
As well as the custodial sentence, Palmer was ordered to pay compensation of £128 and a victim surcharge of £40.
John Herring
Former football coach John Herring sexually assaulted a drunk teenager after she fell asleep or passed out.
Herring took advantage of the girl when she was unable to defend herself due to her condition.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the teenager was left feeling "dirty" as a result of her ordeal.
Herring, 58, of Temple Green, Gateshead, denied sexual assault but was found guilty by a jury after a trial, where the brave victim gave evidence about what happened to her.
He was jailed for 12 months.
Herring must also sign the Sex Offenders' Register for 10 years, abide by a sexual harm prevention order for seven years and a restraining order for life.
The court heard Herring was a steel worker and was a football coach until 2010.
He now has health difficulties which have caused him to have to shield for large parts of the pandemic.
Cory Giles
When movie clips of humans having sex with animals and genital mutilation were found on Cory Giles' phone, he said he had them as a "sick joke".
When Giles was arrested in May 2018 for an unrelated matter, police searched his phone and found the disturbing material.
Newcastle Crown Court heard there were movies showing men having sex with a horse, sheep and dog. And there were also clips of adult male genital mutilation involving cutting with a knife.
Giles insisted he got no sexual gratification from the extreme pornography and said it was just "dark humour" that he had shared among friends.
In a separate offence, he led police on a 20-minute chase through Wallsend while behind the wheel of a transit van on March 14, 2019, at around 2.15am.
He ran red lights, collided with a brick wall, causing substantial damage, then tried to flee on foot after driving down a dead end in Walker, Newcastle.
The 29-year-old, of no fixed address, who has 11 previous convictions including for arson and harassment, pleaded guilty to five counts of possessing extreme pornography, dangerous driving and failing to provide a specimen.
He was jailed for a total of 12 months and given a two-and-a-half year driving ban.
Colin Cant
Former police worker Colin Cant carried out a "sinister and creepy" sex assault in a lift after treating women "like sex objects" for years.
The perverted ex-civilian worker at Northumbria Police made lewd comments about women's bodies and remarks about their underwear, quizzed them about their sex lives and sent inappropriate messages over social media while working for NHS Business Services at its Newcastle call centre.
The 46-year-old was suspended from the service last February following complaints about his behaviour.
A probe then revealed Cant, who was also a foster carer, had complaints made against him by 13 separate women when he was employed as a civilian police worker but resigned before any action against him could be taken.
He had also received a formal warning about his shocking behaviour at a previous workplace in 2004.
During a hearing at Newcastle Crown Court, Cant, of Hebron Way, Cramlington, Northumberland, pleaded guilty to a sex assault on a woman who was alone with him in a lift.
Prosecutor Dr Chris Wood told the court: "The defendant moved behind her and wrapped both arms around her waist.
"He placed his right hand over her right shoulder and onto her right breast over her clothing and then squeezed her breast.
"At the same time she recalls feeling his lips on the right side of her bare neck."
The court heard Cant has no previous convictions but resigned from Northumbria Police in 2012 after complaints had been made by 13 separate women regarding inappropriate behaviour and persistent, unwanted contact.
Cant was jailed for 15 weeks.
Martin Hoggarth
This vile Covid-infected criminal lured police to a Metro station car park and tried to spit at an officer.
Northumbria Police were contacted by Martin Hoggarth, who informed them he was wanted for a bail offence and would meet them in Sunderland.
When officers arrived at Millfield Metro station to arrest him, the 32-year-old initially appeared compliant as he was handcuffed.
But despite knowing he was infected with Covid, Hoggarth spat at the seats inside the police vehicle and then deliberately aimed at one of the officers.
Newcastle Crown Court heard while in the car Hoggarth, who has a "horrendous" criminal record of 104 previous convictions, was screaming "I've got corona" and started spitting at the front seats of the police vehicle.
Hoggarth then spat twice at one of the officers but missed.
It was later confirmed that Hoggarth had tested positive for Covid and was infected at the time.
Lee Wall
Murderer Lee Wall stabbed his friend Daryl Fowler to death after a petty row.
Wall twice plunged a knife into the stomach of Daryl when a row and brawl broke out between them and their partners.
Mr Fowler, 28, died on the anniversary of his dad's death following the attack in Leam Lane, Gateshead, in September last year.
Wall, 43, and of no fixed abode, was found guilty of murder by a jury in February and has now been jailed for life with a minimum of 19 years.
He and partner Emma Brown, 40, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice after the pair tried to cover up what had happened, including lying to the police and Brown putting the murder weapon down a drain. She was jailed for 21 months.
Joseph Coulthard
This pervert was caught on his way to try to meet an underage schoolgirl when police pulled him over for using his mobile phone at the wheel.
Joseph Coulthard had told what he believed to be a 15-year-old girl that he wanted to have sex with her during a series of vile messages on the Skout app.
In fact he was communicating with a decoy profile set up by a vigilante group targeting predators.
Despite being told she was 15, he said he would "still love to f*** you" and outlined sexual things he wanted to do.
Coulthard asked "Jess" if she could sneak out to meet him and she told him she could as her mother had been drinking.
An arrangement was made to meet at a pub just after midnight but Coulthard was intercepted on his way.
Alec Burns, prosecuting at Newcastle Crown Court, said: "Police were in Cramlington when they saw him in his car and they pulled him over.
"He was frantically looking at his screen and he was under the influence of something, which turned out to be cannabis.
"It appears he was setting off to meet this young girl."
As a result of his arrest, it came to light he had been involved in similar illegal chats with another decoy profile on Skout, set up by a different group purporting to be another 15-year-old girl.
He had told her various sexual things he wanted to do including having sexual intercourse.
When he was interviewed by police, he said in relation to the first profile he thought it was an adult and the second one he thought it was role play.
However the 32-year-old, of Nairn Road, Cramlington, went on to plead guilty to attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity, attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence and he has now been jailed for two years and nine months.
Paul Wardle
A sleeping woman was raped after falling into a deep slumber having taken strong painkillers.
Paul Wardle took advantage of his victim's unconsciousness for his own gratification in a shocking attack.
When she woke, she was alone but realised someone had had sex with her while she was asleep.
Wardle, who the court heard is profoundly deaf, denied rape but was found guilty by a jury after a trial at Newcastle Crown Court.
Now the 35-year-old has been jailed for five years and seven months.
As well as the prison sentence, Wardle, of Skeeby Road, Darlington, must sign the sex offenders register indefinitely and was made subject to an indefinite restraining order.
Paul Nicholson
Control freak Paul Nicholson said he would stab his former partner's new boyfriend weeks after getting out of prison for attacking her when she was pregnant.
Nicholson was jailed for three years and seven months in May 2019 for a series of offences against his ex, which left her fearing he would kill her.
After finally finding peace and moving on while he was locked up, she was shocked when he contacted her in July last year, having been released in May.
Nicholson, who was subject to a restraining order forbidding him from contacting her, said: "I'm going to come to yours tonight and stab your lad".
Nicholson had pleaded guilty to assault, controlling and coercive behaviour and robbery against his ex in the offences for which he was sentenced two years ago.
He was released in May and called his ex from a number she did not recognise on July 6 and she returned the missed call.
Ian West, prosecuting, said: "When it was answered it was plain to her it was the defendant who had rung. She asked why he was contacting her, given the restraining order and he replied 'I'm going to come to yours tonight and stab your lad' – a reference to a new relationship she had formed following the end of their relationship two years earlier.
"She told him to leave her alone and they had an argument."
His former partner later noticed he had also sent her Facebook messages directed towards her.
The 27-year-old, of Coalway Lane, Whickham, Gateshead, pleaded guilty to breaching the restraining order and possessing cannabis. He smirked as he was jailed for 30 weeks. He has also been recalled to prison to serve the rest of the 2019 sentence, which runs until January 2023.
Gregg Dodds
This thug stamped on an unconscious man's head, then bragged about what he had done as he re-enacted it.
David Morrison was drinking in a pub when he was approached by drunken Gregg Dodds and ordered to go outside.
As he walked down some stairs he was struck forcefully to the head, causing him to fall a considerable distance.
As he lay "out for the count", he was then stamped on with two feet by Dodds, who used the banister to launch himself into the air and gain leverage. The brute then punched him until his son dragged him away.
HGV driver Dodds then went to another pub and re-enacted what he had done, boasting about how he had knocked the victim out with one punch.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the victim was having a drink in the Breakers Bar, in Bedlington, Northumberland, on September 13, 2019, when Dodds came in shouting aggressively "Who has been picking on my son."
He approached Mr Morrison, who asked if he was talking to him and he replied "you know what I am talking about" and ordered him outside.
Penny Hall, prosecuting, said: "As he made his way down a concrete staircase, he was struck to the head by the defendant.
"It was a forceful blow and caused him to fall a considerable distance to the bottom of the stairs. His next recollection is waking up in hospital.
"The defendant launched himself in the air using the banister as leverage after the complainant had already been punched and landed at the bottom of the stairs."
Mr Morrison was left with a broken collar bone, which needed surgery and a metal plate inserted, as well as cuts to his head and face which needed stitches.
Miss Hall said: "The Crown say that was a deliberate attempt to inflict really serious harm on him.
"Not content with having jumped on his head with both feet, he then proceeded to strike the then-prone and motionless Mr Morrison to the head with a series of punches before being dragged away by his son.
"The defendant bragged about his actions afterwards. He attended The Grapes pub almost immediately afterwards, where he re-enacted it and was overhead saying it only took one punch to knock him out."
Dodds, 43, of Whitsun Grove, Bedlington, pleaded guilty to inflicting GBH with intent and was jailed for five and a half years.
Mohammed Youssaf
This dangerous driver has been jailed after he mowed down a teenage student in a hit-and-run and left her to die alone in the middle of the road.
Mohammed Youssaf has been sentenced to 30 months behind bars for ploughing in to 18-year-old Emma Guilbert as she walked through Fenham in Newcastle, in November 2018.
Newcastle Crown Court heard how the 33-year-old driver was believed to have been travelling at more than 40mph on the 30mph road when he struck the Newcastle University student at a pedestrian crossing on Wingrove Road.
The impact of the collision was so great that Emma's lifeless body came to rest more than 36 metres down the road.
But Youssaf did not stop at the scene and instead fled the area in his Peugeot 307 – leaving Emma to die in the middle of the road, say police.
Witnesses immediately attended to the teenager and called an ambulance. She was rushed to hospital but doctors were unable to save her life and she was pronounced dead three days later.
Youssaf later handed himself in and claimed that he had tried to ring 999 three times but the call failed to connect. Police found the 999 calls had been incorrectly dialled before being manually deleted from the phone.
He admitted a charge of death by careless driving but denied causing death by dangerous driving. The case went to trial and he was convicted of the more serious charge by a jury at Newcastle Crown Court.
Youssaf, of Wingrove Road, Fenham, was handed a 30 month custodial sentence and a 51 month driving ban that will begin upon his release from custody.

Tozzi made more than Pete Ryan with all her over time last year and in previous years also.
So why do all these people need such high paid assistants and who is going to pay for all this over time.
Would some of you other Rocket Scientists Bloggers give us the Tax Payers and answer.
Simple. Markformayor.com. Show your support and get a free pair of jorts with every $100 donated
DeleteWord is mark McGrath will tap Vito for deputy mayor. Who will he pick for dpw commish or the planning director? Will Sheeran finally head code? To find out visit Markformayor.com
DeleteBob Fitzgerald made more than Lou and Pete with their blessing, and lets not forget Garrett's heist. And you complain about Tozzi? Put down the poison dem Kool-Aid and get a grip.
DeleteDPW commissioner? Who will it be? Sounds like there going to need new leaf springs in a white pickup truck for a large man from the Burgh. Large n in charge.
DeleteObviously wiltshire will b running 4 mayor.. tozzi sucked up whatever $ she could & this city is screwed.
DeleteSomeone needs to wake Lou up and tell him that he's still the mayor.
ReplyDeleteCode needs to be headed up by kevin vandenburgh. He can hire his brother to take over for dunne After all he is the zoning king
ReplyDeleteHe can launch investigation. Into dunne as his first move. Maybe troy can have one new car dealer?
DeleteOh what a tangled web they weaved, now its resulted in the loss of Reeves
The council had to issue subpoena's, wonder who is going to sing like hyena's?
This whole thing is such a F*ck-up, now someone needs to grow balls and man-up.
Now that the mess has brought in the FBI, wonder who they'll sacrifice to be the fallguy?
Dunne, Dunne, Dunne, Dunne-- Wade, erm I mean wave Bye Bye
Can somone sopena Sheeran to figure out once and for all where he gets new hightops in 2014?!?!?
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to sopena kreshik to determine what a dire wolf is?
ReplyDeleteHe also reads this blog and corrects everyone's spelling and mistakes
DeleteRodney should have used his sopena powers to get people to his fundraiser
ReplyDeleteHe put Vito in charge of planning it. Vito scattered easter eggs stuffed with absentee ballots and still nobody came
DeleteThere are some people in code who should be subpoenaed to find out what they do all day
ReplyDeleteWas dunne at adult Easter egg hunt? Sounds right up his alley as long as it's not on dormitory property
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion boss is second in command...
Lou is the front and not a good one.
Where is sibley and the twins. Morris the cat has 2 dogs is that close enough?
ReplyDeleteI guess that depends on which way you swing. Maybe you should find someone else to drool over.
DeleteThe Mark McGrath campaign is scouting Troy locations for the "McGrath for Mayor" Headquarters. Kevin Vandenburgh will build one on his new lot on 112th St. Also under consideration is the South End Tavern, the former Roddy's Confectionery, or a spot in the new Buell building at the old city hall site.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he can occupy 41 when it closes next month. That new fence ruined his parking.
DeleteAre they closing the club 41? I have seen there tax problems in the paper and heard that the state lottery took there lottery machines out. Mabey the bar next door is hurting them already.
DeleteIt was the rascally fence. They need to hire Vito as a promoter. He can bring his newest al Bruno egg hunt with eggs filled with hair product. Ensure Lorna dunes an. Grease. After al will play a concert. Vito will record it on his new video cameras he purchased a few months back. Great resolution
Deletethe contractor for king street was "M Cristo contracting", please correct the article Jim.
ReplyDeleteCity Engineer Russ Reeves and his assistant Barbara Tozzi, just follow the paper trail get all records of applications for Demolition for the last 10 years and all applications of New Comers and buying new property and watch how code would go in a loot the ones who were not politically correct after they invested millions only to be fleeced back out of the property's if the Economy went sour or they had financial trouble. These Parana's will eat your flesh then eat your young.
ReplyDeleteJim: I have a question. What if you are one of the one's subpoenaed and you just dont go? What the hell is Rodney and Keeny going to do? Hold you in contempt? These guys are a joke. Rodney, I have some advise. try to just do something for the people in Troy that elected you. You are not going to be Mayor. You aren't even going to be Council President because you will NOT have the Independence line the next time you run (or the Dem line for that matter). Kenny you better get out to LI or wherever to save Dean Skelos' Repubs in the Senate. If the Dems ever get control, you my friend will be on the outside looking in. This Council is a joke from top to bottom.
ReplyDeleteRodney, you are on the right path. Not only will you have the Independence line you may very well have the Conservative line.
DeleteA Democrat in Troy ( or even a so called Democrat) can only get the Independence line by selling out to the Republicans who control the party. Same thing applies for the Conservative Party.
Is Troy's Phony in Chief preparing to sell out to the Republicans for two minor party lines ?
Independence line is what will bring all your re pubs back off there dog dishes re pubs are soiled and totally corrupt
we will clean house next election
Signed I am the Independence line

Material of Chromodoris binza from Caribbean Sea
April 1, 2006
From: Vinicius Padula
Dear Bill,
I need some specimens of Chromodoris binza Marcus & Marcus, 1963 from the Caribbean Sea. It´s to compare with some specimens of Chromodoris cf. neona from southwest Brazilian coast. I have seen the work of Ortea et al.(1994) but I have some doubt about the division of C. binza and C. neona.
If anyone can help me, I will be grateful.
Vinicius Padula
Padula, V., 2006 (Apr 1) Material of Chromodoris binza from Caribbean Sea. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/16214Dear Vinicius
From looking at the Fact Sheets and messages on C. binza, C. neona etc., the big question is just what is C. binza? Do you want anything that looks like this group of species?

Convince your boss
Are you ready to skill up and network with fellow devs at JSNation, but your boss is not sure about it? It doesn't take much to convince a manager or team lead and explain the advantages of our event.
We've prepared a summary of the most important information to help you achieve your goal. Head over to our dedicated page and share it with your boss.
The biggest JS party worldwide
Who says that JavaScript is only for serious business? You can actually power an entire party by JS, and JSNation will show you how.
Amsterdam is known for its nightlife and all our attendees get an invitation to join in. If you get full access, you'll get to see various kinds of performances made with JS at the biggest JS party worldwide on June 14.
Aside from that, the extended program for in-person attendees will also offer a karaoke party and silent disco with music for everyone playing on 3 channels. Afterwards, on June 15, we'll explore the capital of the Netherlands together at walking tours and boat tours.
- So come hang out with your fellow devs in Amsterdam! June 14 – afterparty at the same venue; June 15 – walking tours and boat tours.
The main goal of this project is to shed some light on great open source projects that don't receive enough attention on a regular basis.
We're looking at OSS projects or initiatives following an open and transparent culture, especially those eager to collaborate and receive contributions from anyone interested.
GitHub stars are not our criteria, and we're looking for hidden gems that may not have enough marketing power or huge companies behind them.
We try our best to make all our events accessible and inclusive for a diverse audience. Get in touch with us if you wish to support this initiative, and help us provide Diversity Scholarships for the underrepresented groups in tech.

Porzingis set to start in Wizards debut against Pacers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kristaps Porzingis is set to make his debut for the Washington Wizards when he returns from a bone bruise to face the Indiana Pacers. Coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Porzingis would be available Sunday night. He is expected to start in his first game for the Wizards since they acquired him in a trade last month. Porzingis was already dealing with knee problems when Washington got him in a trade with Dallas on Feb. 10. He's played in only 34 games this season, averaging 19.2 points. The Wizards are without leading scorer Bradley Beal, who had surgery on his left wrist.

In today's video, I am reacting to expat life TikTok videos! I am always curious to see what life abroad is like for expats living in different countries. One of the main themes I noticed throughout these videos is that expat life is not easy. Foreigners need to get used to things when living in another country, and adjustment will always take time. But overall, the things we go through as expats are always worth it in the end. Let me know what you think of this video style, and if there are topics or videos you'd like to see me react to next!

YAYA Press Release – Summer '22
Keep on Dreaming
Comfort and certainty is still crucial, but at the same time we still daydream of the freedom and ease to travel again. Just like we started off the previous deliveries of this Spring Summer season, we use our imagination instead of travelling abroad. This time we looked into the cities Tulum and Positano to celebrate their culture and inspire ourselves to mix these into our own collection. This has been the starting point of our '22 Spring Summer collection.
The general trends for delivery 4 and 5 are defined by a loose, casual and breezy silhouette, such as the long dresses offered in both woven versions, as well as in jersey and the loose fit trousers. The refined details and -finishing of these items make them multifunctional; beach- and dinner-proof. Easy, yet sophisticated. Fabric-wise we went for structures such as linen blends, mélange, cotton crinkles and also the more outspoken pointelle knits and broderie anglaise.
Color wise delivery 4 is represented by botanical pastels mixed with shades of cold purples. Delivery 5 becomes a bit more warm and dry, with hues of cantaloup and browns with a little hint of amber yellow. As for prints our designer has made a beautiful translation of the much seen, seasonal tie dye print on the runway. Next to the tie dye print we offer a soft floral print. For delivery 5 we've looked into retro patterns and gave these a modern twist. The floral print in this delivery is one with statement. It is bold and contains several colors.

Hi ZS, assuming that whether not really one wins or loses on one scratch ticket (what is that, in any case?) is independent from winning or losing on additional scratch ticket, you treat each event as a separate event. 토토사이트 of probability tell us to multiply the various probabilities of independent events. It appears that the probability of [losing] on any particular scratch ticket must be 2/3. Useful and obviously the probability of [losing] on 30 scratch tickets one after the other (if that maybe what your problem is asking) must be (2/3)^30 = approximately simple.2 x 10^-6, which is about.0000052, or 52 out of 10 million, which comes down to 1 chance out of 192,307.

Preliminary Analysis of Morphometric Data for an Ongoing Autecological Study of the Northern Watersnake, Nerodia sipedon sipedon, in a West Virginia stream.
life history, natural history, sexual dimorphismAbstract
The northern watersnake, Nerodia sipedon, is a natricid ubiquitous across aquatic habitats of the eastern United States and is often found in high abundance. The prevalence of N. sipedon has garnered extensive research, much of which concerns its reproduction. However, thorough, long-term studies on the biology and ecology of N. sipedon in stream ecosystems, especially within Appalachia, are lacking. The purpose of this study is to analyze autecological data from ongoing research on a N. sipedon sipedon population within Short Creek, a rural stream in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. Morphometric, dietary, thermal, habitat and movement data were recorded for each capture. This analysis primarily focuses on morphometric data in an attempt identify any potential variation from data collected in past studies concerning different habitats. Future research will use neonate morphometrics as baseline data for growth estimations, employ mark-recapture data to estimate a population size, and build upon the established data set.

Scots parents warn of court challenge over National 5 exams axe
It comes as it emerged that thousands of children, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, will leave school without sitting any exams if the Scottish Government presses ahead with its controversial proposals which were unveiled by Education Secretary John Swinney last week.
Scot parents group UsForThem Scotland says around 6000 pupils in S4 would leave school at the end of this year planning to go onto college and work.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThe National 5 exams for next year were axed by Mr Swinney last week. The second wave of Covid made it impossible to guarantee at this stage that exams could be safely undertaken, with pupils and teachers demanding clarity around courses which are already underway.
Grades will still be awarded, but on the basis of class work and teacher assessment.
There are now concerns that this will hamper pupils, many of whom would be expected to take on further education or apprenticeships without the experience of exams, and having sat a course which some experts now say will "lack credibility".
UsForThem, which has 11,000 members across Scotland, also confirmed it was starting a fundraising campaign to launch legal action against Mr Swinney's decision following consultation with its members.
Jo Bisset, organiser for UsForThem Scotland, said: "We know from historic trends that around 6000 children will leave school at the end of S4 next year.
"They will all now have to do so without sitting an exam.
"That does not stand them in good stead for the future, especially for the 50 per cent or so who go straight to college where exams are a key part of most courses.
"Many of those who leave school at the end of S4 will be from disadvantaged backgrounds – they already have enough going against them without the government spoiling their education too.
"Parents aren't taking this decision lying down which is why so many are behind our initial plans for legal action.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide Ad"If the government won't listen to parents, then perhaps they'll have to listen to the courts."
Higher and Advanced Higher examinations in 2021 will go ahead as planned, but will start from 13 May next year, later than normal, to allow for more teaching to be done to make up for some of the teaching time lost at the end of 2019/20.
A Scottish Government spokeswoman said the decision on National 5 exams had been taken to protect the "safety of both staff and pupils."
"Our decision to replace National 5 exams with grades based on teacher judgement and coursework assessment was informed by Professor Priestley's independent review, and by listening to the views of pupils, teachers, parents, education experts, local authorities and other stakeholders. The SQA will work with Education Scotland, local authorities, and others to support a national approach to deliver robust quality assurance, including the provision of assessment resources.
"We must always be mindful of public health advice to protect the safety of staff and pupils, and not running these exams significantly reduces risk."

This post is part of a series of posts entitled A Legal Guide to the Internet. For a comprehensive list of articles contained in this series, click here.
A patentee obtains the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States, or importing the invention into the United States. If the invention is a process, the patentee obtains the right to exclude others from using, offering for sale, or selling throughout the United States or importing into the United States products made by that process.
Online sellers of products could potentially be liable for patent infringement. Patents related to electronic transactions using the Internet are being granted by the USPTO. For example, the E-Data Corporation owns a patent that covers electronic point-of-sale transactions involving digital data. The patent is related to manufacturing and distributing information embodying material objects by using point of sale machines that are in communication with a common host. Since the inventor of this process is Charles C. Freeny, Jr., it has become known as the "Freeny Patent." Several thousand companies involved in electronic commerce have been contacted by E-Data and been asked to pay royalties. Some of these companies even entered into licensing agreements, including IBM and Adobe Systems.
It is not clear to what extent the Freeny Patent covers electronic commerce or if it will have only limited application. However, case law has begun to to define its scope. In Interactive Gift Express, Inc. v. CompuServe, Inc., 47 U.S.P.Q.2d 1797 (S.D.N.Y. 1998), the plaintiff alleged that CompuServe contributorily infringed and induced infringement by offering computer software via the Internet. The court suggested a very limited scope of the Freeny Patent and concluded that it applied only to electronic purchases made by buyers using kiosk-type terminal equipment in a retail setting and not any place where a computer was located and used to reproduce information in a material object for a price. However, the Federal Circuit vacated and remanded the decision, holding that the lower court erred on the construction of the claim limitations and interpreted the patent too narrowly, Interactive Gift Express, Inc. v. CompuServe, Inc., 2001 U.S.App. LEXIS 15711 (Fed. Cir. July 13, 2001).
Patent rights associated with the basic process of electronic transactions will certainly have a significant impact on the development of electronic commerce using the Internet. High speed modems, which are critical to the commercial future of the Internet, have also been the subject of patent claims and conflicts. It will be interesting to monitor the extent to which patents are actually issued by the USPTO for Internet related technology and whether such patents will impede or bolster the expansion of electronic commerce on the Internet. The following section discusses the wide range of Internet related inventions that may be patentable.

For the week of Jan. 16 - 22, Mid-Major Madness has selected Loyola Marymount guard Cam Shelton as the Mid-Major Player of the Week after an elite performance against nationally ranked No. 6 Gonzaga to snap the Bulldogs 75-game home unbeaten run.
Having transferred in from Northern Arizona after the 2020-21 season, Shelton was a two-time All-Big Sky selection. Now, in year two with the Lions, he's averaging a team leading 18.9 PPG and 4.5 APG while playing 35.3 minutes per game.
On Thursday night with the Lions sitting 3-3 in West Coast Conference play, coming off a win against San Diego, Shelton managed 27 points, nine rebounds, and two assists while shooting 50% from 3 and tying a career-high of 11 field goals to help take down Gonzaga on the road.
Additionally, Shelton's go-ahead layup with about 14.7 seconds remaining earned Loyola Marymount the 68-67 win, which marked the Lions first victory against a ranked opponent since 1961 and the program's first win over Gonzaga since 2010.
The game winner from Cam Shelton.

For his standout showing against a national powerhouse in the Bulldogs, Shelton was honored as the WCC Men's Basketball Player of the Week with LMU notching a 14-7 record, 4-3 in conference play, and now sitting fourth in the WCC standings.
It's been a while since Loyola Marymount's last NCAA Tournament bid with the program finding lots of success in the late 1980's on three consecutive appearances from 1988-90.
However, under head coach Stan Johnson and his cast of well-developed talent, the Lions have a real chance at NCAA Tournament prestige coming from a conference that arguably deserved a fourth bid last year.
Honorable Mentions:
Max Fiedler (Rice) - The 6-foot-10 forward opened the week with a 24 point, 13 rebound, 11 assist triple-double for a win over UTSA and finished out with 18 points, four rebounds, and four assists to defeat North Texas and earn Conference USA Player of the Week.
DeAndre Williams (Memphis) - Managing 29 points and 15 rebounds for a double-double in a win versus Wichita State before 26 points, eight rebounds, and three assists to help defeat Cincinnati, the former Evansville transfer was awarded AAC Player of the Week.
Ben Sheppard (Belmont) - Averaged 23 points, six rebounds, and 3.5 assists in back-to-back wins over Murray State and Bradley while shooting 74% from three-point range and hitting the game-winning shot for a 78-76 victory over the Braves.

SEC Settles With Ohio Advisor For Failing To Disclose Fund Misappropriation
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law:
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has agreed to a settlement with Ohio advisor, Rita Mansour, for failing to disclose a third-party misappropriation of client funds.
Mansour sold securities related to private securities offerings conducted by two pooled investment vehicles (PIVs) that were managed by her firm, McDonald Partners. The PIVs offered securities to raise funds for the construction of a resort in Montenegro. Mansour and McDonald Partners sold at least $14 million in securities issued by the PIVs to client across the country between September 2013 and January 2017.
However, Mansour and McDonald Partners learned that their point-person at the Montenegrin entity had misappropriated $488,331 of client funds to cover personal expenses. The point-person conceded that he had misappropriated the funds and subsequently repaid $335,000 that he had allocated to personal expenses. Neither Mansour or McDonald Partners informed clients about the misappropriation and raised an additional $1.5 million in securities issued by the PIVs in January 2017. Mansour and McDonald Partners violated the Securities Act and Advisors Act, both of which prohibit fraudulent or deceptive conduct relating to the offering of securities to clients, according to the SEC. As part of the settlement, Mansour will pay civil penalties of $40,000, disgorgement of $22,986.75 as well as prejudgment interest of $4,884.71.
