por completo en el siglo XVII the Palace of Tau and the Abbey of Saint-Rémi of Reims are closely linked to the history of the French monarchy The Cathedral of Notre-Dame is a masterpiece of Gothic art: it bears witness to the remarkable mastery of the new architectural techniques acquired in the course of the 13th century and achieves a harmonious marriage of architecture with sculpted decoration The perfection of the cathedral's architecture and group of sculptures is so great that it influenced many later buildings the sculptures of Reims Cathedral are an integral part of the architectural composition of the building Reflecting both the traditions of Île-de-France and the minor arts of the Champagne region these sculptures have a monumentality and grace inspired by the art of goldsmiths who worked silver or gold the magnificence of the composition of the Coronation of the Virgin (above the central portal) or the grave nobility of other figures like that of Elizabeth in the scene depicting the Visitation have attained universal celebrity The original well-balanced harmony has been preserved as has the wealth of ornamentation an evident testimony to the twenty-five royal coronations that took place there holds the memory of the coronation ceremony and feasted after his coronation in the banquet hall The beautiful 13th century Palatine Chapel and the 15th century banquet hall have remained intact The façade of the Palace of Tau boasts a beautiful 17th century order and it currently houses the Musée de l’Oeuvre where treasures and artwork linked to the coronation ceremonies are displayed The former Royal Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Rémi features a majestic 18th century architecture with a chapter house still containing fine Romanesque sculptures a pilgrimage church built around the tomb of Saint Remi is an outstanding example of medieval architecture: it was the largest Romanesque building in northern France before being transformed with spectacular sobriety during the Gothic era It was closely involved in the ritual of the coronations: the ceremonies began and ended at the abbey conservatory of the Holy Ampulla containing the chrism dating back to the baptism of Clovis by Bishop Rémi and used for the coronation of kings The abbey is now a museum of heritage and history of Reims and its region Criterion (i): The Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Reims is a masterpiece of Gothic art due to the outstanding handling of new architectural techniques in the 13th century and the harmonious marriage of architecture and sculptured ornamentation Criterion (ii): The perfection of the architecture and sculptural work of these buildings had a strong influence on later buildings in Europe the archiepiscopal palace and the former Abbey of Saint-Rémi are directly linked to the history of the French monarchy and hence the history of France These places involved in the coronation ceremony recall the balance between public authority and sacred function that has made French royalty a political model throughout Europe the Palace of Tau and the Abbey of Saint-Rémi of Rheims constitute coronation places in their entirety which were badly damaged during the First World War the geography and the ritual of coronation can be evoked or represented there The cathedral’s sculpture and stained glass still bear witness to these celebrations  These buildings are part of the urban fabric of the great medieval compound of the13th century in which we distinguish the traces of the ancient road network The alternance between post-war reconstructed buildings in an eclectic spirit contemporary buildings and restored old buildings characterizes the area surrounding these monuments The history of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Reims entails eight centuries of technical or artistic innovations from the 13th century to its restoration after the First World War which provided it with a remarkable reinforced concrete framework Although Reims Cathedral has unfortunately lost part of its original stained glass it still has some of the most remarkable examples of Gothic stained glass the State has a double policy of stained-glass restoration and support for its creation some of these medieval windows have regained their former splendor while played an important role in religious ceremonies; it was almost entirely rebuilt during the 17th century the French Revolution interrupted the tradition of coronations which was resumed one last time for the coronation of Charles X Successive restorations until today have enabled the implementation of technological innovations respectful of the authenticity of the buildings The three buildings forming the property are protected under the Heritage Code (Historic Monuments) the Cathedral is listed in its entirely as a Historic Monument since 1862 (the Palace of Tau since 1886) It is legally assigned to Catholic worship The Palace of Tau is managed by the Centre des monuments nationaux a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture Annual and multi-annual programmes ensure the monuments’ maintenance and restoration; they are either implemented directly by the State or carried out under its scientific and technical control The Abbey of Saint-Rémi is owned by the city of Reims; its maintenance and restoration are the responsibility of the municipality under the scientific and technical control of the State The redevelopment of the forecourt helps to improve access and circulation around the monument preserving the urban fabric and establishing view cones of the cathedral ensures the preservation of the close relationship linking the building to the city The Saint-Rémi district is a Remarkable Heritage Site the objective of which is the protection of the buildings and the enhancement of the public space and monumental perspectives in a project and urban renewal approach Another Remarkable Heritage Site that will integrate the Cathedral district is under study and will serve as a basis for defining a buffer zone The management plan for the property is under preparation MONTREAL – CF Montréal announced on

vacant lands rezoned to medium density residential and is also asking for “site-specific relief for parking on a basis of one parking space per unit where 1.5 spaces are required,” according to a report that will go before the planning committee next week A traffic impact study has concluded “the proposed parking supply (187 spaces where 269 are required) is sufficient to address peak parking demand for the development based on the analysis of a proxy site,” according to staff The same traffic study finds the proposed development “will not cause any operational issues and will not add significant delay or congestion to the local roadway network,” staff note although “construction of a sidewalk is recommended on the west side of Estelle Street extending from Bancroft Drive to Rheal Street in order to improve pedestrian connectivity.” The area identified for the development spans six hectares — including 180 metres of frontage on Estelle Street and 20 metres on Bancroft Drive — and varying terrain The property housing the former Catholic school is mostly flat while the undeveloped land behind it features rock outcrops and treed areas “The highest elevation on this portion of the site provides a view corridor south towards Ramsey Lake,” the report notes Start your days with the latest local news By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia

Estelle Street itself is fairly quiet, however, and many residents don’t want to see a project of this scope, and height, disrupt their views (or sleep) and change the character of the neighbourhood. As the staff report notes, the surrounding residential area is “essentially low-density residential in character, with single detached dwellings as the predominant housing type.” All properties directly abutting the site comprise single detached dwellings, while the adjacent Moonlight Ridge subdivision to the east contains a mix of singles and semis. “There are no multiple dwellings or row dwellings in the immediate vicinity,” the report states. Area residents were apprised of the application in the spring and notice of a Stage 1 public hearing was circulated in early October. A number of phone calls, along with about a dozen written submissions, have so far been fielded regarding the development. Many are concerned about an increased flow of vehicles on the street and how this could impact not only quality of life but property values. “Traffic on Estelle Street, which currently has about 35 houses, would be at least five times greater with the construction of 179 new residences,” writes one neighbour. “This is a concern for families with young children.” The Moonlight Ridge development, currently underway, “also has direct access to Estelle and will add to the increased traffic on our street,” the same resident notes. “Estelle Street would have to handle traffic flow for the proposed new development (two new accesses) as well as the Moonlight Ridge development (one new access).” The increased traffic flow and the proposed rezoning “may lower property values on our street,” the resident writes, while “sewer and drainage requirements would greatly increase and we are concerned about the existing infrastructure being inadequate.” Another fear is the damage that could be done to homes as rock is removed for the development with use of explosives. “Our house is the oldest on the street and our concern is that the repeated blasting so close to our home will have an impact on our foundation,” writes another Estelle Street resident. Others are against the proposed zoning change and want to see as much land as possible left wild in the area. “Estelle Street is only a small side street,” states another submission. “We oppose the request for rezoning to medium density. We would love to have it remain as green space.” The same critic opposes the request for parking relief.  “The requirement is 1.5 spaces per unit and we feel that requirement is already too low as it is,” reads their letter. “Many families have more than on vehicle. If any development is approved, it should only be low density.” Referencing the time it has taken for Panoramic Properties to redevelop the old St. Joseph’s hospital on Paris Street, the writer adds: “We ask that if any development is done, it’s done from start to finish in a timely manner.” One resident’s concerns span seven handwritten pages. “I purchased my house with the intention of living in a low-density residential area,” she writes. “Therefore I expected to live on a low-traffic street and I was looking for safety, quiet and privacy. I specifically chose to live as far away as possible from any business area, medium-density residential, high-traffic streets or congestion or density.” Apart from violating the rights of homeowners, a project of this nature would also have a detrimental impact on the environment, she argues. The development will result in the “removal of wildlife and their habitat,” the opponent predicts, as well as cause an “increase in carbon emissions.” If multi-unit buildings are to take shape on the property, they should at least be smaller in stature, argues another critic.  “I feel that five-storey is too vertically impactful,” the resident writes. “This is due to obstructing and impacting sight lines of surrounding residences, privacy concerns of elevated viewpoints, and preserving the natural skyline that exists in the area. I strongly oppose a five-storey development and would instead limit the development to three storeys.” transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

and since that program aired residents of the Valley have reported smaller quantities being deposited on farmers’ fields in Saint-Chrysostôme While it is Montreal’s responsibility to make sure its wastes are disposed of properly there is currently no system in place to actually track where they end up This lack of infrastructure allows contractors to dump in whatever location costs them the least as the soils and water that residents rely on are contaminated with deadly toxins Most concerning was a huge dumping site on Route 201 in Franklin: over last summer and ramping up into the fall scores of double-load haulers were observed by Franklin officials arriving every day suspect material right near the drinking water intake for Ormstown The officials had noticed the traffic in the spring and the fact that the ground level on the site was steadily rising It is now 15 feet higher than it was before unknown material in which chunks of cement are visible says the municipality tried everything: reporting to the Ministère de l’environnement and sending it material to be tested as long ago as 2017 (the town is still awaiting the results); going to the MRC and other town councils seeking support which the MRC and three other municipalities and Huntingdon promised; talking to police and the media; tracing the trucks (to a company called Transport Construction Franguy Brooks says Franklin demanded daily permits from the property owner which could have controlled the dumping a bit and the owner paid the constats d’infraction relatively small fines of several hundred dollars a day which were all Franklin’s existing bylaw on “materiaux de remblai” (backfill materials) allowed at the time realized their only recourse was to craft a new bylaw and to hope that the rest of the MRC municipalities would follow their lead and adopt it or something similar; otherwise the whole problem will simply move down the road requiring expensive legal analysis to make sure what is being controlled is done in a way that will hold up in Quebec courts Even a pandemic has not stopped solid waste dumping on the territory during the “thaw period” (période de dégel) when big loads are not allowed on the roads to protect them from damage heavily loaded trucks were already coming back to the property on Route 201 and dumping more mysterious soil and rocks used to spread the heaps of dumped material around This brought in the Ministère des transports whose investigations should yield more details on activity there Franklin has managed to pass its tough new bylaw via virtual town council meetings It now permits the municipality to control where and what is dumped on its territory in a very detailed fashion It gives them the power to forbid dumping without a permit if the receiving property owner doesn’t meet requirements; these include testing for toxins and other forbidden materials For not having a permit or contravening the bylaw the municipality can now levy fines of up to $2,000 per day for individuals and up to $4,000 a day for businesses Franklin now has access to a trained toxicologist who will help it to test materials still in the trucks or that were recently dumped to test streams and watercourses that flow out of it This information will hopefully help the woefully neglected Ministère de l’environnement do its intended work Its budget was slashed repeatedly by the Liberals and also by the CAQ This lack of proper oversight by the sources of the contamination or the province that is supposed to control it means that local municipal jurisdictions that do not protect themselves will continue to attract dumping that will contaminate soils water tables and watercourses across our Valley can have serious effects on the farming community “We haven’t forgotten what happened to Mercier and Saint-Rémi Our main objective is to protect our underground water that the Ormstown municipality and the second largest campground in Quebec depend upon There also exists a “Citizens Group Concerned with Toxic Waste Dumping” that formed over this past winter when people in the area became aware of the dumping it wants to provide a place for people to report any suspicious dumping seen in their neighbourhood whether on farmers’ fields or larger areas This group will try to help support mayors in tracking and reporting this activity help citizens urge their own municipalities to pass similar bylaws Sign In Register More National Obituaries > and a mixed bag of precipitation are expected.  A major low arriving from the American Midwest will move to lie over the Great Lakes Tuesday from rain over westernmost regions to snow over central regions of the province another system is on the way for Thursday and Friday Environment Canada is following the major low A special weather statement is in effect for Hemmingford Granby – Waterloo and Mont-Orford – Lac Memphrémagog Some areas in Montérégie will be touch by an episode of heavy rain Rainfall amounts of 25 to 30 millimeters are expected over these areas beginning early Tuesday Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible creeks and culverts" says Environment Canada Châteauguay – La Prairie et Longueuil – Varennes are concerned by the rainfall warning in effect Distillerie 3 Lacs : une inspiration pour les cégepiens Le HC Crédit Oui de Sainte-Martine champion de la LHSE Une trafiquante d'armes arrêtée à Franklin la conseillère aux ventes des concessions Chery You are using an outdated browser.

He travelled to northern France to begin again, but after a final burst of creativity, he died within two months – 36 hours after shooting himself in the stomach while out painting in the midsummer fields. “There have been suggestions that his death was an accident or even manslaughter, but that’s nonsense,” Bailey said. “The evidence of his mental state in the previous year makes it incontrovertible that he took his own life, but it was thanks to the asylum, his strength of will and his art that he survived that year in which he was able to create so much.” This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.

replacing the monk’s robes and long white beard we might expect to see in a church window Wiley has said that his stained glass work “is not about nationhood glowing literally…letting us see a state of grace for those people who rarely get to be able to be seen that way.” Architect Oscar Niemeyer is often lauded for his work on the Cathedral of Brasília But it is lesser-known Franco-Brazilian artist Peretti who designed and painted the cathedral’s monumental stained glass windows Peretti drafted the undulating green and blue shapes that flow across the glass roof of the cathedral by hand—and to full scale working on enormous sketches laid across the floor to realize her vision venturing through a dark passageway before emerging into the nave where light filters in through

months the couple spent traveling between ghettos Chicago chose to end with an optimistic scene in stained glass Inspired by the wave of support for public art projects in Chicago during the late 1960s and ’70s—including works by Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder—Chagall gifted these monumental stained glass windows to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1977 Designed as a tribute to the city’s 1976 bicentennial celebrations Chagall’s imagery is an homage to American artists of all stripes Each panel highlights a different specialty: music In order to replicate his signature vivid colors in glass Chagall worked closely with master glassmaker Charles Marq painting directly onto the panels Marq created While struggling to design a 75-foot-tall window for the Cologne Cathedral Richter accidentally placed a template of the Gothic window frame atop one of his color grid paintings Richter’s window—commissioned to replace the original destroyed in a bombing during World War II—is made up of 11,500 pixel-like squares in 72 different colors Although the pattern was determined by a mathematical formula Richter also referenced the over 700-year-old church’s past by incorporating glass

Seven of Polke’s twelve windows for the Grossmünster cathedral in Zürich are not stained glass at all the German artist employs thinly sliced agate mosaics in a twist on traditional stained glass techniques The remaining five windows are figurative and represent scenes from the Old Testament Polke’s formidable career was bookended with work in glass: He began his artistic training in 1959 as an apprentice in a glass-painting workshop and he completed the Grossmünster windows a year before his death © 2017 The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation/Artist Rights Society Albers was first taught to work with glass by his craftsman father and continued to create glasswork as both a student and teacher at the famed Bauhaus school one of a number of glass assemblages created by Albers was a modernist take on a stained glass window With its gridded structure of multi-hued squares and rectangles it set the stage for the many years Albers would spend studying and creating work that investigated color in abstract forms—perhaps best memorialized in his decades-long series “Homage to the Square.” FranceChevron Saint-Rémy-de-ProvenceChevron Sarah JamesSave this storySaveSave this

fountain we pass by one of the bakeries for just-made croissants and still-warm baguette to take home to my mother Me and my dad drinking rosé out of plastic cups It's an idyllic idea of French village life but towns like Saint-Rémy inspire this kind of stereotypically Provençal routine it's easy to fall into the old-school rhythm here Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is backed by the Alpilles mountain range and surrounded by other equally charming villages that read like a roll-call of the perfect Provençal road trip: Eygalières The ruins of the Roman city of Glanum are found on the outskirts is where Vincent van Gogh was a patient at the Saint-Paul Asylum and where he created some of his best-known works The Starry Night was painted from the window of his room to see the room where van Gogh would have stayed A version of the article originally appeared in Condé Nast Traveller UK Saint-Rémy comes alive as the market rolls into town but it’s worth it to see the streets taken over by stalls selling everything from freshly harvested lavender and local cheese to handcrafted bags and clothes most stalls are set up and the town is yet to heave with shoppers Most of the action is centered around the many squares: On Place Favier you’ll find clothes and accessories; on Place Jules Pellissier there are fruit and vegetable stands as well as my favorite stall that sells olives and tapenades piled high in enormous bowls a craft market where makers sell jewelry and paintings runs until late The institution where Vincent van Gogh spent a very productive—if troubled—year in the late 19th century is a beautiful Romanesque structure with manicured gardens and arched walkways You can visit the public areas of the monastery where van Gogh painted 143 oil paintings and sketched more than 100 drawings the ancient city about a kilometer from the center of town ramparts were built here by Celto-Ligurian tribes destroyed in conflict; its inhabitants formed what is now Saint-Rémy-de-Provence Yet a remarkable amount of structures remain and have been excavated for preservation the team curates exhibitions on figures such as Pablo Picasso which takes place each year on Pentecost Monday sees thousands of ewes paraded through the town centre There's bull running held in the village in the summer Plus you might spot parades through town of people dressed in traditional get-up to celebrate a number of other French holidays One of the biggest draws for visitors to Provence in the summer is the call of the lavender fields The landscape turns brightest purple from mid-June to early August While you will spot lavender dotted around the fields immediately surrounding Saint-Rémy consider a road trip to find the very best fields such as at the Valensole Plateau More than just a beautiful place to visit for the weekend or even the day Saint-Rémy is a wonderful jumping-off point for the equally-as-lovely surrounding towns and villages you'll reach Eygalières with its pretty stone cafés and wonderful views from the top of a nearby hill Another gorgeous hill town is Les Baux-de-Provence set on a craggy plateau with widescreen views of the surrounding countryside where Festival d'Avignon (kind of like a French Fringe Festival) takes place each summer Provençal village life revolves around its bar tabac a contingency of locals pile in with newspapers to chew the fat over espresso and croissants the sunbaked terrace is flooded with tourists and townspeople drinking palest rosé before lunch service begins in earnest there's often excellent fish on the menu but I have to recommend the gigot d’agneau (lamb with creamy potatoes and a green salad that's pungently garlicky) which is carved from the bone right in front of you with its candy-hued lilac and orange color scheme has a roaring fire inside for days when the bitter Mistral wind blows heavily and a shady terrace on Place Favier for the more common sun-drenched days Order savory or sweet crêpes and pichets of cider and watch the world go by which is especially noted for its exquisite desserts This 17th-century hotel is set discreetly behind a buttery façade, and we named it one of the best hotels in Provence German owners Ralph Huesgen and architect Margot Staengle have restored the building handsomely: Seven bedrooms are filled with antique furniture and a wine shop next door selling all sorts of thoughtfully curated bottles with eight bedrooms and a gorgeous garden for long lunches followed by snoozes by the pool There are 10 rooms at L’Auberge De Saint-Rémy which is perhaps better known for its restaurant so it’s perfect as a base from which to explore (and ideal for rolling into bed after a meal downstairs) Tables and chairs set up for the

LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - It’s a story that grabbed headlines last month, a medical malpractice case against Mercy Hospital and a jury awarding a local family nearly $50 million That family is now speaking out exclusively to First Alert 4 Chief Investigative reporter Lauren Trager They say their son is so much more than a number and they hope his story will cause caregivers to listen up The West County locals got married and started a family “We just had a very typical pregnancy,” said Sarah Anyan Coined “The Baby Palace on Ballas,” it’s a first choice for many first-time parents but it was a no-brainer for the Anyans since they both worked there But what happened next isn’t just in a baby book she was fully dilated and soon started pushing more than 12 hours after she began pushing “We were pretty much blindsided,” Sarah said was a systemic series of failures by medical staff at Mercy Hospital during Remi’s birth Remi still has seizures and faces significant challenges He uses a gait trainer to take steps and a device that tracks his eye movements to answer questions He’s described as having full cognition inside a body that just doesn’t work the way he wants it to “Our morning routine probably takes an hour He likes to try and do a lot of things himself He wants his spoon and control of being able to give himself a drink and rather than just try and force all that stuff on him we try and make him an active participant in everything that he does,” said Blake Anyan Mercy did not interview for this story and sent a statement saying they continue to stand by the care provided by their team in this case the Anyans say they learned what happened during Remi’s birth — or rather Despite being seen by their doctor and nurses throughout labor ever mentioned that more than three hours of pushing brings additional risk According to industry experts cited in the case and no one told them Remi’s heart was showing signs of distress really disappointed that they didn’t share that with me And I think that just makes me really sad,” said Sarah Anyan That’s so far away from what we’ve been taught to do “We just had complete faith and trust in our team,” he said an expert for the family testified that a woman pushing for as long as Sarah did was “I have never in my professional career seen that situation in a hospital setting.” Further testimony suggested that the doctor’s actions contributed to Remi’s injuries starting earlier in the morning “in the last half hour of labor when the child was permanently NICU doctors should have intervened immediately “There was an opportunity for intervention You couldn’t reverse the injury that happened but he could have received therapeutic hypothermia It would have lessened his injury by 20 to 30 percent is what some of the different experts think,” Blake said he acknowledged heart issues but said that because Remi was too low in the birth canal he did not feel he could safely remove him with a C-section Attorneys for the hospital and its staff also denied the allegations said it was one of the clearest cases of medical malpractice she’d ever seen “I was so inspired by Sarah and Blake and wanted desperately to help them and to investigate this case,” said Gunn The case went to a 2½-week trial just last month to relive some of the darkest moments of their lives Not just to make sure Remi’s needs are taken care of but really for awareness and accountability,” said Blake The jury awarded the Anyans more than $48 million “So grateful that they took what happened seriously and didn’t give up faith in Remi and that they would try and help him move forward.” with potential for appeal and some legal arguments over whether a settlement agreement is in effect — so it’s likely the Anyans will collect far less I think the jury certainly wanted to send a message not only to Mercy Clinic and the physician but also to anybody else who was watching.” “We really don’t want this to happen to anybody else,” said Blake “Nothing can reverse what happened to Remi but we’d like mothers going into the labor and delivery room to know four hours is a long time Going past that definitely carries risks,” said Blake “We have to be strong because Remi is strong and we have to fight for him because he fights every day,” said Sarah they say they’ll focus on fun — as a family You can be angry and bitter and hang on to that anger your whole life Or you can choose to inspire people.’ And I tell him that all the time — he’s going to inspire people,” Sarah said All referred us to Mercy’s public relations team “Mercy is dedicated to serving this region and safely delivers nearly 9,000 babies each year While medicine is not without its challenges Mercy strives to continually improve and provide top quality care to its patients We stand by the care provided by our team in this case who has served women and babies in this community for 25 years Medical providers remained at the patient’s bedside during labor continuously monitored and observed all conditions of the mother and baby and engaged in a shared decision-making process with the patient for delivery No evidence was ever introduced suggesting dangerous patterns or practices of behavior by Mercy or Dr and Mercy will continue to seek appropriate resolution for the benefit of the Anyan family.” the Anyans strongly dispute what Mercy is saying here They do both struggle with feelings of guilt — since they were both in the medical field — but neither had any experience in labor and delivery They want parents to feel empowered to speak up and advocate for themselves and their children in any medical situation they hope Remi’s life will forever be an inspiration to others In a chilling revelation of the extremes to which criminals will go in pursuit of digital wealth has been convicted for his lead role in a harrowing series of violent home invasion robberies across the United States His aim: to plunder victims’ cryptocurrency holdings through terror and coercion delivered a verdict following a meticulous trial that exposed the depth of Remy St Felix’s criminal enterprise St Felix masterminded a crew that traversed states including North Carolina meticulously targeting individuals known to possess significant cryptocurrency assets The modus operandi was as brutal as it was calculated Remy St Felix and his accomplices would stake out their victims gaining access to their homes through forced entries often tying up and threatening victims at gunpoint to coerce them into transferring cryptocurrency directly from their accounts These acts of aggression were not isolated incidents but part of a coordinated effort to exploit the anonymity and decentralization offered by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin one such incident in April 2023 saw Remy St Felix and his cohort invade a victim’s residence where they proceeded to assault and intimidate the occupants coercing them into transferring over $150,000 in cryptocurrency used encrypted communications and anonymous financial transactions to cover their tracks complicating the task of law enforcement agencies tasked with unraveling their operations Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M emphasized the severity of the crimes and stated that Remy St Felix and his co-conspirators targeted victims across the United States for brutal home invasions and robberies orchestrated to steal cryptocurrency The case highlights the growing challenge posed by criminals exploiting digital assets for illicit gains leveraging technology to evade traditional investigative methods condemning Remy St Felix and his accomplices for their callous disregard for human safety and decency The victims in this case endured a harrowing and painful experience emphasizing the profound impact on those affected by the crew’s ruthless tactics led by the FBI Charlotte Field Office with collaboration from multiple law enforcement agencies culminated in Remy St Felix’s arrest in July 2023 among them members of Remy St Felix’s robbery crew were apprehended and later admitted guilt for their involvement in the criminal enterprise highlight the collaborative efforts of law enforcement in combating sophisticated cyber-enabled crimes Remy St Felix stood trial before a federal jury on charges that included conspiracy His conviction on nine counts carries significant penalties including a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years in prison awaits deliberation by a federal district court judge who will consider the severity of Remy St Felix’s crimes and the impact on his victims NCET focuses on disrupting criminal networks that exploit these technologies for nefarious purposes As cryptocurrencies continue to gain prominence in global finance, cases like Remy St Felix’s serve as stark reminders of the risks associated with digital assets. Law enforcement agencies, bolstered by evolving investigative techniques and international collaboration remain committed to stemming the tide of cyber-enabled crimes safeguarding individuals and communities from the predatory actions of criminal enterprises In the aftermath of Remy St Felix’s conviction the Justice Department and its partners have reiterated their dedication to pursuing justice and holding accountable those who perpetrate violence in pursuit of financial gain The trial stands as a testament to the resilience of law enforcement in the face of technological challenges marking a significant step in the ongoing battle against cybercrime in the digital age Regtechtimes is a niche digital media platform that provides news Regtechtimes is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about laws technology and innovations and its potential to transform the financial services industry Remi Julianna Griffin went to her Heavenly home on Jan 2020 at her home surrounded by her loved ones Remi touched so many lives while here on earth and was loved deeply by her family Remi had a smile that would light up a room and hugs that would make everything seem right in the world Every morning she could be found at Nan’s greeting every parent you would find her at the George West Church of Christ Crawling under pews and playing peek a boo with her church family If you didn’t find Remi at school or church she was with her loving family going on weekend trips to the aquarium the DoSeum or at home enjoying long morning cuddles with Mommy and Daddy You would also find Remi at either her sister Aneska’s volleyball games cheering her on at her brother Logan’s baseball games being his biggest little fan or at Waylon’s soccer games running onto the field Remi loved the summers she spent with her brother Torbyn Remi was Daddy’s little girl and Mama’s pride and joy She lived a beautiful joy filled life and gave us enough memories to last a lifetime A memorial service will be held on Friday (Jan with interment to follow at Resurrection Cemetery She is survived by her parents David John and Jennifer Lynn (Hubbard) Griffin; sister Aneska Randalyn Scott; brothers Torbyn Lane Griffin and Waylon Ellis Griffin;  paternal grandparents Mary Griffin and Donald Griffin; maternal grandparents Julie Hubbard and Kieth Hubbard; aunts and uncles Brittany Hubbard Thoughts and memories may be shared online at www.gracefuneralhome.net Arrangements and services under the personal care of Grace Funeral Homes & Cemeteries This page is available to subscribers.
