Bianca Hall is amused that the smallest room in her house has become the most used. But you can see the attraction. It is dominated by a generous platform sofa bed that stretches the length of the almost 3m-long wall, with a vast television screen directly opposite.

Bianca and Ed Hall have completely overhauled the Victorian terraced house they bought in 2008. Bianca s DIY sideboard is made from five wall-mounted Ikea kitchen cabinets; she created the stepped door fronts from MDF and painted it the darkest version of Dulux Chalky Downs; the seven-piece brass candleholder is by Nagel for Stoff Copenhagen, the circular mirror is by West Elm, the pendant light is by Healâs and the floor is laid in parquet-style LVT (luxury vinyl tiles) by Amtico.
More time at home and easier access to the internet and other social media has been a factor leading to an exponential growth of cybertips coming into the N.C. Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, local law enforcement officials say.
According to data from the state ICAC, the average of monthly cybertips for the first four months of this year is 912. The monthly average for all of 2020 was 776 cases. Both of those figures dwarf the 2019 monthly average of 411 cybertips.
A total of 9,308 cyber tips were made for the entire year in 2020. As of April, the 2021 count of 3,646 is nearing the amount for all of 2019 and is set to surpass last yearâs total.

The full-body scan revealed a concealed bag containing 88 dosage units of Alprazolam pills â the generic version of the anxiety medicine Xanax â that went undetected through a pat-down search.
Findings like that were the goal when the $149,000 unit was purchased to provide a more thorough, and less invasive, means to protect inmates and detention officers from smuggling contraband into the jail.
Cameron officials are weighing the future of the townâs water and police departments, including the possibility of ceding both services to the county.
During a special meeting last week at the Cameron Fire Department, the townâs commissioners told about 20 of the 300 residents they represent to expect an increase in water rates in the coming year as they try to return that enterprise fund to solvency.
The water department serves about 180 customers but has run at a deficit of about $30,000 for the past few years. Currently, some customers are dealing with poor water quality due to high iron and manganese content.
