- The closure of 99 Cents Only reflects a broader weakness in the dollar-store category, with other major retailers also announcing store closures.

Quick Glance: Why Christians Wake Up Before Sunrise to Celebrate Easter
- On Easter morning, many Christians gather before dawn to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, the son of God, as the sun rises. March 31 marks Easter Sunday this year for the majority of Christians worldwide and the tradition of sunrise services.
- Easter celebrations are not fixed to a specific date, but move between March 22 and April 25 based on a lunar calendar calculation. The biblical symbolism of the Easter worship of the early risers is rooted in the New Testament Gospels.
- It is unclear if the Moravian Church was the first to hold Easter sunrise services, but their annual tradition dates back to 1732. Moravians are known for their brass and wind instrument trombone choirs that accompany the Easter services.
- In addition to the traditional liturgies, the Easter sunrise service includes a silent procession to the Salem Moravian Graveyard, also known as 'God's Acre,' ending among the graves of past generations. Other Easter service traditions include Easter vigils and services in various styles at different locations.

apnews.com/article/cinnamon-fda-lead-contaminated-dollar-tree-d1c59edb00826b212fae7dcb6f1cd98a
Quick Glance: Recall of Contaminated Cinnamon
- Following federal health officials' warnings, several U.S. discount retailers have recalled packages of ground cinnamon due to high lead contamination.
- The recalls were initiated in response to extensive recalls last autumn of WanaBana and other brands of cinnamon applesauce pouches associated with almost 500 reports of lead poisoning in young children across 44 states.
- Concerns about the safety of cinnamon, a common spice in American kitchens, have been prompted by the recent recalls.
- While there is currently no FDA limit for heavy metals in spices, the American Spice Trade Association advocates for a lead limit of no more than 2 parts per million in bark spices like cinnamon.
