The fact that mall retailers are struggling is nothing new — retailers like Walmart and Amazon have been taking big bites out of specialty stores for years. To start: Season 3 of Netflix's "Stranger Things" features a number of mall stores that no longer exist, including candle store Wicks 'N' Sticks filed for bankruptcy in and teen retailer Chess King which closed for good in This once-trendy retailer for young women's clothes, founded in as Lorne's and renamed Wet Seal in , struggled for much of the last decade.
The company filed for bankruptcy protection in after closing stores. In , the company closed its remaining locations. This store was created as a junior spinoff of the popular Limited brand. In the mids, all stores were either shuttered or eventually re-named under the Justice brand. Along with Benetton sweatshirts, Esprit sportswear was a big get for s teens. In February , Esprit announced that it planned to close all retail stores in North America.
Known for its socially conscious ad campaigns and bright color palettes, this store brought out the Euro-fashionista in s mall rats. The brand has since shuttered all of its U. This trailblazing accessories store was once known for discovering designers before they made it big. Under the ownership of L Brands the same parent company as Victoria's Secret , all physical locations were closed by January Sam Goody was the place to be for music back in , at least as evidenced by this Ray Parker, Jr.
Most stores became FYE locations after Sam Goody filed for bankruptcy in , though curiously, two locations still exist: one in Medford, Oregon, and one in St. Clairsville, Ohio. This, of course, is a lie. Libby's watch has a QR code engraved on the back, and it contains her article, which reports on the original study warning that the mine would have catastrophic consequences on the entire Naktok Bay area.
Libby's notes indicate that her source was another LeMere victim, the research biologist who conducted the original study. Torres arranges for the man's wife to bring his laptop to a session with Marcie hi again, Pam! Flashback to Torres driving Gibbs to the airport. He says he knew about Gibbs's basement boat before he even moved to D. Gibbs gives his blessing to Knight joining the team and tells Torres he's a good agent and a good man, cautioning, "Don't let this job become all that there is.
Take care of you. Please listen. In the present, Kasie hacks her way into the biologist's laptop and finds his report with Eberhard's signature on it. Unfortunately, they can't tie her to the payments to LeMere, which means she might be working with a partner. Gibbs is fine with it — he doesn't want to flee the long arm of the law, after all — but McGee begs Parker to give them time to arrest Eberhard and stop the mine.
Parker's unconvinced… until he is. He agrees to let them take down the CEO of a billion-dollar company, and then Gibbs is coming with him. But Parker gets a call from the FBI deputy director, who's clearly jealous of Gibbs' charm, effectiveness, and glorious head of hair. He demands Parker do the job he's there to do and bring Gibbs in.
Gibbs and McGee are about to arrest Eberhard when Vance calls and tells them to stand down. She smugly hops into a waiting vehicle and tries to make a quick call on her way out of the country. But surprise surprise, the driver's Parker. He grabs her phone to see if she was trying to call the accomplice who actually made the payments to LeMere. Remember when I apologized to dead Jen's husband last week for suspecting him of being involved in her murder the week before?
I should've trusted my gut! He's the person Eberhard tried to call, and NCIS arrests him thanks to Marcie's bravery in setting up a meeting with him. The man owned land in Naktok Bay, and Eberhard offered to pay him millions for it if he'd get the opposition out of the way. He hired LeMere, and when Jen found out, her name went on the list.
The arrests put a stop to the mine, and Gibbs takes satisfaction in making such a meaningful difference to an entire community's way of life. He then orders McGee to arrest him. On Friday, a pediatric neurologist working out of Buffalo diagnosed three more of the young girls with conversion disorder, bringing the total number to which he has given this diagnosis to eight. Symptoms can be severe.
Among medical professionals -- though, granted, not environmental activists -- there seems to be agreement that conversion disorder is, in fact, the culprit. And yet many continue to question the diagnosis; they can't seem to take conversion disorder seriously.
That could be partly due to conflicting agendas -- Erin Brockovich doesn't lose: If the girls do have conversion disorder -- a kind of neurological condition that has a wide variety of symptoms, including tics, verbal outbursts, and even loss of vision and paralysis -- it would mean that it's due to nothing more than stress.
And it's partly due to the disorder's complicated history. Criticized because it is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that all other possibilities must be exhausted before the diagnosis is made, conversion disorder dates back to Sigmund Freud and was formerly known, more controversially, as hysteria. The term comes from the Greek word for uterus and, of course, was a once-common diagnosis for females said to be suffering from a variety of symptoms, including fluid retention, nervousness, and loss of appetite for sex, before Freud started reclassifying these diagnoses as anxiety neuroses.
Female hysteria is no longer recognized, but you'll find conversion disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM , the standard text used by all psychiatrists, and it includes manifestations of hysteria as does schizophrenia, anxiety attacks, and other DSM-classified disorders. One argument used against conversion disorder as a diagnosis for what's currently going on in tiny LeRoy is that the diagnosis is uncommon and it doesn't make sense to see it in so many teenagers at once.
But could that simple be because individuals seek individual treatment? Groups are rarely diagnosed together. But this wouldn't be the first time.
Thirty-one chorus members in Lockport, New York, fell ill around the same time in and then quickly recovered. Fourteen Florida high school students all developed loud breathing problems at the same time in Thirty years ago, in , about people in Los Angeles all believed they had contracted food poisoning, but they hadn't.
