Additional state funding expands opportunities for Hartford youth with summer employment program
HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The Hartford Summer Youth Employment program is back for the 2025 season, and applications for jobs are already coming in. Hartford Public Library receives $117K grant for youth employment and learning During this years legislative session, lawmakers allocated $10.7 million in funding for Hartford Public Schools. A portion of those funds goes towards the city's annual program. 'That will mean 800 kids in our city are spending time productively working on something, earning money for themselves, hopefully building a career in the long run,' Hartford Mayor Arunan Arulampalam (D) said. 'That's a real investment in our city, a significant investment in our youth, a significant in violence prevention in our city. It has so many layers of impact.' The city already has a million dollars in its budget to support the jobs program — the additional funds from the state will help expand opportunities for students. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Can AI help solve Hartford's pothole problem?
HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Hartford city leaders are looking to a cutting-edge artificial intelligence tool to help tackle the challenge of potholes and other road defects. 'Since I've been mayor, I have, almost from the get-go, gotten complaints from residents about conditions of roads,' Hartford Mayor Arunan Arulampalam said at a press conference on Thursday. GUIDE: Low-cost or free summer activities for New Haven youth, families Arulampalam was joined by representatives of Vialytics, a German firm that developed the technology that Hartford will deploy on municipal vehicles to detect roadway hazards. The technology utilizes an iPhone camera mounted on the inside of a vehicle's front windshield. Using Vialytics' app, the vehicle's driver must first complete a short calibration before heading out on the streets. Once the vehicle is on the road, the app automatically captures images of the road every 10 to 15 feet, Vialytics's staff said. Then, the images are fed into a proprietary A.I. model, which has been trained to recognize more than a dozen roadway defects, including potholes and cracks. 'At first, humans were training that algorithm and actually clicking where see a crack, where we see a pothole,' Tom Cummins, a member of Vialytics's U.S. team, said. 'Over time, the AI, the model itself, is actually learning what a crack looks like, what a pothole looks like.' Law enforcement agencies in Connecitcut preparing for 'No Kings' protests Saturday For the capital city, Arulampalam said the deployment of A.I. to assist their two human road inspectors will help fill in cracks — literally and figuratively. Currently, the city relies on its inspectors and public complaints to identify roads in need of repair. That system can often miss hazards and inadvertently skew repair orders toward neighborhoods that are more likely to have residents who are familiar with filing complaints, city officials said. Vialytics' software is designed to provide more comprehensive coverage while ensuring that each of Hartford's neighborhoods receives the attention they need. Having a constant technological eye keeping tabs on the conditions of the capital city's roadways can raise privacy concerns. Still, Vialytics' top American executive stated that the German company operates under the European Union's data privacy regime, as outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is generally considered to be stricter than any of the applicable data privacy laws in the United States. Vialytics's systems do not collect license plates and faces, the company executive said. Arulampalam said the new technology is going to be impactful for residents not only because it will help address existing potholes but also because it will enable city public works officials to more easily identify smaller defects before they turn into bigger hazards — all at a cost of less than $40,000 to the city in the upcoming fiscal year. 'This innovation is going to lead the way for quality of life in the city and make a huge difference for our residents,' Arulampalam said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Victoria's Secret digital disaster will cost more than cash
How many pairs of the perfect no-show neutral panties is too many? Asking for myself. Years ago, I stocked up on Victoria's Secret's no-show seamless panties in every neutral shade they offered. And to this day, they're still my go-to. They fit just right. They disappear under anything. They're the kind of everyday essential that's harder to replace than you'd think. Related: Martha Stewart aesthetic sets the tone for summer And for a lot of shoppers like me, that's what Victoria's Secret does best - when it gets it right. But the brand hasn't been getting a lot right lately. Once the undisputed queen of lingerie, Victoria's Secret has spent years trying to reinvent itself for modern consumers. New leadership, new messaging, new stores. The turnaround is still a work in progress. That's why the timing of its latest stumble couldn't be worse. Just as the company was counting on a critical sales moment to fuel its fragile comeback, an unexpected mistake is about to take a $10 million bite out of its bottom line. Ouch. The Memorial Day sale is a major revenue driver for retailers - especially in categories like apparel and intimates. For Victoria's Secret (VSCO) , the stakes were sky-high. Heading into the summer, the brand needed a win after a stretch of flat sales and margin pressure. But just before the company reported Q1 earnings, a cyber incident forced it to shut down their site and cancel one of its biggest sales events of the year. Sekella told analysts the breach would wipe out about $10 million in expected profit this quarter. That's a big chunk, considering the company only expects to make between $15 million and $35 million in total profit for the quarter. Related: Lululemon rival, Alo Yoga sued over social media claims This comes as Victoria's Secret works to transform its store fleet with its so-called 'store of the future' concept and grow its Pink business, which CEO Hillary Super called the brand's "No. 1 volume opportunity." To make things more complex, activist investor BBRC International is turning up the heat. The firm, which holds about 13% of shares, recently blasted Victoria's Secret's board for alleged mismanagement and adopted a poison pill defense against a hostile takeover. Amid all this, a $10 million cybersecurity mistake is the last thing the retailer needed. Victoria's Secret isn't alone in facing cybersecurity threats, but the timing of this breach raises fresh questions about its operational readiness. Gross margin dropped to 35.2% in Q1, down from nearly 37% a year ago. Not the trajectory you want when fighting to stay relevant. The company is betting big on Pink, lifestyle offerings, and a revamped store experience to win back shoppers. This $10 million hit adds to that struggle. Beyond the immediate financial loss, it signals potential vulnerabilities that could shake consumer confidence and embolden activist critics - particularly with Q2 guidance already soft and margins under pressure. Can Victoria's Secret bounce back? It's possible. Super and her new CMO, former Anthropologie exec Elizabeth Preis, are pushing hard on innovation. But in a market where agility and flawless execution are key, the margin for error is razor-thin. For now, I'll stick with my no-show Victoria's Secret has a lot more proving to do if it wants to win the next generation of shoppers.
