SZA is setting the record straight. After a fan asked "The Weekend" singer if she was going to compete with fellow songstress Summer Walker by releasing her sophomore album Alt, on November 5, the same date as Walker's Still Over It, SZA says that would never happen.
"I jus wanna know y y'all think i would drop same time as summer," SZA tweets in response to the fan before adding, "I'm ON her album…like wut."
Rumors of SZA's expected album-release date comes after a SZA fan page announced that the singer had chosen the same November 5 date as Summer Walker.
While there's no word yet on when SZA will release the follow-up to her 2017 project Ctrl, fans can be excited about the singers' upcoming collaboration. As previously reported, the two joined forces when Walker was featured on SZA's "Bloodstain," released back in April. They later teased their reunion when they were seen in the studio together again in June.

Eligibility for new health care law's pre-existing insurance program made more realistic.
We are glad to report some good and sane news today.
The pre-existing insurance plan created as part of The Affordable Care Act has always been a sore point with this Foundation and with many health care activists and with good reason. The eligibility rules surrounding the plan were written with political motivation behind them.
For example, my husband has Multiple Sclerosis and to apply for the high risk pool, he had to go and apply for coverage with a private insurance company and furnish a letter of denial. Not hard to do when one has Progressive-Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis. But think about the ridiculousness of this exercise in futility.
Thankfully, things have changed for the better and certain restrictions are gone.
But there is still one sticking point and that's the rule stating that a person with a pre-existing condition must be WITHOUT insurance for six months prior to applying to the high risk pool still stands. Progress is slow.
More information can be found from PCIP.gov.
The Obama administration, expanding a program created by the new healthcare law, moved Tuesday to make health insurance more affordable and accessible for Americans who have been denied coverage because they are sick.
Across the country, the federal government is reducing premiums on special coverage available to uninsured people with preexisting conditions such as cancer or diabetes.
And the administration is loosening restrictions on who can sign up for so-called preexisting condition insurance plans.
But the number of people signing up for these plans has lagged, in part because of high premiums and stringent eligibility guidelines.
Now, federal officials estimate, premiums in some states could come down as much as 40%, thanks to a more refined analysis of what the plans should charge.
At the same time, the administration will no longer require applicants for these plans to furnish a letter from an insurance company showing they had been denied coverage. Instead, applicants will need only a letter from a doctor, nurse or physician's assistant stating they have a medical condition.

Hong Kong's robust legal services sector includes more than 10,000 practising solicitors and about 1,500 practising barristers, of which 106 are Senior Counsel, as well as around 1,600 registered foreign lawyers from 32 jurisdictions. Many major international law firms have offices in Hong Kong.
As a global trade, finance and business hub, Hong Kong has a wealth of legal expertise in areas such as banking and finance, shipping, maritime, construction, intellectual property, and information technology.
International legal professionals bring with them additional experience in the areas of civil and commercial law, complementing the existing talent pool of local legal professionals with expertise in raising capital, drafting and negotiating contracts, and advising on intellectual property rights protection in Hong Kong.
They also bring international perspective and experience in handling international transactions so that commercial disputes can be dealt with fairly and effectively.
The Hong Kong Bar Association and the Law Society of Hong Kong are the two major legal representative bodies of the legal profession in Hong Kong.
TO THE MAINLAND
Close and long-standing links between the legal sectors of Hong Kong and the Mainland have helped develop business opportunities since the opening up and reform of China's markets.
The Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) – a free trade pact – between Hong Kong and the Mainland provides enhanced and first-moved advantage for Hong Kong law firms into the Mainland market.
Many of the market access measures are piloted in adjoining Guangdong Province, which has long been a test-bed for economic reform in the Mainland.
For example, under CEPA:
Hong Kong and Mainland law firms may be established in the form of a partnership association
Mainland legal firms may employ Hong Kong legal practitioners for certain kinds of legal work
Hong Kong legal practitioners meeting certain requirements can apply to practise as lawyers in the Mainland
A number of reputable international and regional organisations specialising in legal or dispute resolution services have set up offices in Hong Kong. They include the Asia Pacific Regional Office of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution Asia Pacific Limited, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (jointly operating the Mainland-Hong Kong Joint Mediation Center with the Hong Kong Mediation Centre), the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission Hong Kong Arbitration Center, the China Maritime Arbitration Commission Hong Kong Arbitration Center, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre as well as the Secretariat of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce Asia Office.
Reflecting the government's emphasis on the rule of law and legal services in Hong Kong, a prime site in the heart of the city has been set aside to accommodate offices of the Department of Justice alongside local, regional and international law-related organisations (LROs). Part of the West Wing of the former Central Government Offices (now renamed as Justice Place) and the nearby heritage-listed French Mission Building (which previously housed the Court of Final Appeal), are being converted into space for LROs. Together with offices of the Department of Justice in the Main Wing, the East Wing and part of the West Wing of the Justice Place, the whole area will form a Legal Hub. With these LROs moving into the new offices in the legal hub, the synergy and operational efficiency of the legal services sector will be enhanced, and Hong Kong's position as a centre for dispute resolution and legal services in the Asia-Pacific Region will be further consolidated.
LROs and the major international law organisations and dispute resolution bodies in Hong Kong include:

Q: how to make json array from database records I am making a json array of the objects getting from the database by using angularjs, but only the last record is showing else is not showing.
var myApp=angular.module('myApp',[]);
myApp.controller('Controller',['$scope','$http',function($scope,$http) {
$scope.getAllMedicine = function(){
    $http.get('http://localhost:8080/Webapp/webapi/medicine/all').success(function(data){
        for(j=0; j<data.length; j++){
            $scope.medicineList = [{
                "medicineId" : "Id : " + data[j].medicineId,
                "medicineName" : "Name : " + data[j].medicineName,
                "medicinePotency" : "Potency : "+ data[j].medicinePotency,
                "medicinePrice" :"Price : " +data[j].medicinePrice,
                "medicineQuantity":"Quantity : " +data[j].medicineQuantity
            }
            ]
        }
    });
}
}]);

Can anybody tell me the mistake that i m making, I shal be thankful :)

A: Update from
for(j=0; j<data.length; j++){
    $scope.medicineList = [{
        "medicineId" : "Id : " + data[j].medicineId,
        "medicineName" : "Name : " + data[j].medicineName,
        "medicinePotency" : "Potency : "+ data[j].medicinePotency,
        "medicinePrice" :"Price : " +data[j].medicinePrice,
        "medicineQuantity":"Quantity : " +data[j].medicineQuantity
    }
    ]
}

to
var medicineList = [];
for(j=0; j<data.length; j++){
    medicineList.push({
        "medicineId" : "Id : " + data[j].medicineId,
        "medicineName" : "Name : " + data[j].medicineName,
        "medicinePotency" : "Potency : "+ data[j].medicinePotency,
        "medicinePrice" :"Price : " +data[j].medicinePrice,
        "medicineQuantity":"Quantity : " +data[j].medicineQuantity
    });
}
$scope.medicineList = medicineList;

Problem - you were setting $scope.medicineList for every iteration because of which it was always getting updated with last record.

A: @nikhil answer is good and it works, but there's a couple of points worth noting.

*

*The $http legacy promise methods success and error have been deprecated. Use the standard then method instead:
$http({
  method: 'GET',
  url: '/yourUrl'
}).then(
function successCallback(response)
{
   // Things went ok
},
function errorCallback(response)
{
   // Things went bad
});

*The data you are receiving could already be in the JSON format you expect, so you only have to bind it to the scope, like:
$scope.medicineList = data;

Digital Privacy and Consumer Behaviour
Gabriella Muscolo
| 17 ottobre 2019
The rapid development of the internet has greatly affected the functioning of the economy and digital technologies such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) will continue to shape the transformation of European industries. In that context, online platforms – covering a wide range of activities such as search engines, social media, e-commerce and sharing economy portals – play a prominent role as they are the most accessed websites.
By now ubiquitous connectivity has expanded the platform business model in an unprecedented way. In particular, platforms operate as two-sided or multi-sided markets. A distinction can be made between attention and matching platforms. Attention platforms normally provide free services subsidized by advertising, sustained by user data and attention, while matching platforms are generally transaction marketplaces.
More specifically, these platforms are characterized by network effects, especially indirect network effects. In other words, the behavior of a user group on one side of the platform influences the behavior of the group on the other side. In fact, a second important feature of digital platforms is that they can generate strong network effects: the higher the number of users on the platform, the more other users will want to join the platform because it increases consumer choices and boosts markets for service suppliers.
Hence, in the zero-price economy, data has become a valuable commodity which enables users to access services provided by online platforms. For instance, online platforms can collect data concerning consumers' personal characteristics and conduct that could, among other things, enable them to estimate consumers' willingness to pay. Then, based on the estimated willingness to pay, online platforms could choose the optimal price for each consumer.
In fact, the results of the analysis conducted by the Italian TLC Regulator (Agcom), based on empirical research on apps, suggest that the acquisition of personal data plays a critical role in price setting and might become a key competitive factor in the future. Indeed, Agcom found a negative correlation between the price of apps and the amount of personal data collected, confirming the implicit exchange of "free services for personal data" of zero-price transactions.
Therefore, to what extent are users aware of this? Why are users' behaviors of the utmost importance in this context? These questions require a multidisciplinary approach.
This is why, on 30 May 2017, the Italian Competition Authority (Agcm), the Authority for the Communications Guarantees (Agcom) and the Authority for the Protection of Personal Data ("Garante per la protezione dei dati personali") launched a joint inquiry to better understand the implications for privacy, regulation, antitrust and consumer protection, the development of the digital economy and, in particular, the Big Data phenomenon.
In their preliminary report, the three authorities conducted a survey, based on 2.000 users, showing that only 13% fully read the privacy policy of online platforms; 54% partially read these privacy policies, while 33% do not read them at all. Moreover, 40% are aware of the close relationship between the consent given to the processing of data and free services and barely 23% of users would pay for the service not to have their data processed.
It should be highlighted that the majority of users are not aware of the relationship between consent given to the processing of data and free services. The survey also empirically proves the so-called "privacy paradox", that is, the divergence between the declared concern about one's own privacy and the lack of measures to safeguard and control one's own information deemed "sensitive" in terms of circulation and widespread dissemination.
Hence, there is an information asymmetry between users and digital operators in the data collection phase. This could have significant implications for user behaviors. For example, a lack of transparency may lead users to provide more data than they would like to, or even to reconsider whether to register and use an online platform.
To address these concerns, the Italian Competition Authority has already intervened on several occasions by applying Italian consumer protection law. In particular, the Authority intervened against unfair contractual clauses and unfair commercial practices such as deceptive and aggressive behaviours adopted by Facebook and WhatsApp.
In particular, in the first case, such deception arose during registration with social networks: users were not adequately informed that their data would be used for commercial purposes and the free nature of the service was emphasized. Regarding the second case, aggressive practices took the form of making access to a service conditional on consent to the transfer of data to third parties.
Most importantly, in these cases, the Italian Competition Authority preliminarily clarified that registration with and use of the online platforms under investigation were considered economic transactions; it is irrelevant that the services are provided free of charge. Indeed, following EU directive 2005/29/EC on unfair commercial practices: "Personal data, consumer preferences and other user generated content have de facto economic value". Therefore, attention is the real compensation of economic value for such services.
The importance of reducing information asymmetries between users and digital operators has been underlined by the three authorities in their final guidelines and policy recommendations on Big Data. In particular, it is stated that "reducing information asymmetry between users and digital operators in the data collection phase is a fundamental policy objective to which different tools can and must contribute. It is important to fully inform the user-consumer not only of the use of the transferred data, but also about the necessity of the volume and variety of the data required for release and on the specific functioning of the requested service". Indeed, the reduction of information asymmetries "will help users to better know and effectively exercise their consumer choices".
Moreover, in policy recommendation number 10, the importance of consumer law is underlined by stating that "consumer protection can intervene on a multiplicity of profiles connected to the relationship between operators and users in the data acquisition and processing phases". In particular, the three authorities emphasize the need to increase the maximum level of sanctions "as soon as possible" in order to guarantee an effective deterrent by consumer protection laws.
Furthermore, because non-price parameters such as quality and data protection may be relevant to the competitive process in this context, new antirust theories are developing. For instance, it is debated whether the violation of data protection by a company in a dominant position may be considered an exploitative abuse of a dominant position. Building such theories of harm has posed some challenges, especially with regard to definition of the relevant market and the assessment of market power: in both cases the fact that a service is offered free of charge determines the need to find new solutions.
Certainly, in this new digital and data-driven economy, competition law "in order to pursue the goal of consumer welfare shall explore new parameters, in addition to the traditional tools of the antitrust law linked to prices and quantities, thus extending the analysis also to quality of service and products, innovation and fairness".

Arctic Blast (2010, dir. Brian Trenchard-Smith)
A meteorologist struggles with family and professional pressures as a freak weather event threatens Australia. Bargain basement though watchable cover version of the likes of The Day After Tomorrow: SciFi Channel / The Asylum production values, but this is no worse ultimately than the big-budget versions.

Poseidon (2006, dir. Wolfgang Petersen)
Survivors of a capsized cruise liner attempt to escape. Somewhat perfunctory and loose third adaptation of the Paul Gallico novel, with the feel of a much bigger film cropped back to 90 minutes as its own rescue attempt. Doesn't add anything to the 1972 version bar some updated effects and a couple of impressive stunt moments.

Moonfall (2022, dir. Roland Emmerich)
A conspiracist discovers the moon is on a collision course with Earth. Cheerfully shambolic SF disaster flick, cribbing from across the genre from Contact to The Core as well as from the director's back catalogue. A sturdy cast of B-listers helps, with John Bradley being especially good value.

Don't Look Up (2021, dir. Adam McKay)
Astronomers struggle to get the government and the media to engage with an extinction-level event. Patchy and overlong Trump-era satire: when it hits, it hits hard, but there's about 45 minutes too much baggy stuff here. More focus needed: that said, there are some game performances and a great song.

The Poseidon Adventure (1972, dir. Ronald Neame)
Survivors of an upturned cruise liner race against time to climb to the bottom of the ship. Earnest and clunky, this early entrant into the 70s disaster movie cycle is nevertheless impressive in its technical credits and its commitment of approach, and in its blending of veteran, current, and emerging onscreen talent. Based on a Paul Gallico novel: a sequel and other adaptations followed.

A new San Francisco skyscraper catches fire on opening: a firefighter and the building's architect work together.

A luxury resort is threatened by an active volcano.

Greenland (2020, dir. Ric Roman Waugh)
An estranged couple and their young son battle to safety during an extinction-level event. Alternately hokey and darkly impressive, this riff on Deep Impact via World War Z succeeds best in its focus on character and on throwing rocks (metaphorical and literal) at its characters. Not bad if you go with it.
Here's the trailer. And here's another POV.

Airplane! [AKA Flying High] (1980, dir. Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker & David Zucker)
An ex-pilot with PTSD has to take control of a passenger jet when its crew are struck by food poisoning. Still-dazzling deadpan parody of 1970s disaster movies (and Zero Hour before them). Some gags and attitudes have dated, but the film's commitment to strong jokes per minute astonishes. A weak sequel followed.

THE Earl of Aboyne has up to London gone, And all his nobles with him, And three broad letters he sent into his love He would wed another woman in London.
She has turned the honey month about, To see if he was coming, And lang three miles ere he came to the town She heard his bridle ringing.
She's went down unto the close and she's taen him from his horse, Says, Ye're welcome home from London! 'If I be as welcome, dear Peggy, as you say, Come kiss me for my coming.
The bed it was not made nor well laid down, Nor yet the curtains drawn on, Till stays and gown and all did burst, And it's alace for bonny Peggy Irvine!
The Earl of Aboyne was not at the Bog of Keith, Nor met wi the Marquis of Huntley, Till three broad etters were sent after him That his pretty Peggy Irvine had left him.


Inmate art and poetry displays.
The library staff has worked tirelessly to market and promote the library by making tours mandatory for new staff, organizing inmate book reviews for the newsletter, creating partnerships with community organizations, performing a promotional rap at the annual talent show and much more. Library Director Sara Krouse and her crew "blinged" out in gold chains and headphones, and brought down the house with a rap song at the talent show.
The WRC Library was nominated for Library of the Year because of proactively engaging inmates through programming, new trends in collection development and collaboration with other departments and organizations. Most importantly, the WRC provides a safe and welcoming place to read, learn and get well. The nomination papers read, "Creativity, innovation and patron-focused community values drive these prison libraries to provide quality and valuable services to a severely underserved population." The WRC has soared in this last year and it is the Award Committee's extreme pleasure to name the Wisconsin Resource Center Library the WLA 2014 Library of the Year.
Tessa Michaelson Schmidt has earned the title of 2014 Demco/WLA Librarian of the Year for her work as the Youth and Special Services Consultant for the Public Library Development (PLD) Team at the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Among many of her achievements, Tessa is the creator of the popular early literacy program, Growing Wisconsin Readers (GWR) that aligns with State Superintendent Tony Ever's 2017 Agenda. "GWR has become a galvanizing effort across hundreds of Wisconsin Libraries, building a bridge between literacy within the home and school through the library," according to Assistant State Superintendent Kurt Kiefer for the Division for Libraries and Technology (DLT). Simplifying the LSTA grant writing process, she enabled libraries in small communities to receive funding to provide appropriate and necessary services for literacy, such as 1000 Books before Kindergarten. Recognizing the immense opportunities for libraries to reach populations in a novel setting like health care, she guided librarians throughout the State to write LSTA grants for literacy, partnering with Reach Out and Read programs. As an advocate for statewide literacy and professional learning, she has proven to be a strong communicator. She has reached many by the use of social media like Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and her blog site. Tessa has touched many lives by reorganizing the DPI Youth and Special Services Department and affecting positive change to the libraries that she serves. Tessa Michaelson Schmidt is young, professional and a digital dynamic that has achieved excellence in the work place and earned her place among the WLA Librarians of the Year.
Active in every aspect of the current library expansion and renovation of the Schreiner Public Library, she is deserving of the nomination for an award. Aside from fundraising, it is certain that Cari Schaffer won Wisconsin Library Association's Trustee of the Year for her character, passion, and dedication to her Schreiner Public Library in Lancaster.
Part of Allen Buechel's legacy as county executive will be enabling access to a world class education at home in Fond du Lac. He was instrumental in the planning and renovation of the UW-Fond du Lac campus, including a state-of-the-art library. His management of stable and adequate funding for materials and services in libraries during a downward economic turn is outstanding, along with his love and respect for learning, has earned him the WLA Citation of Merit for his outstanding contribution to library service.
Martha Gammons, Public Relations Coordinator for the Arrowhead Library System (ALS) is the 2014 winner of the Muriel Fuller Award. The Award recognizes a professional for accomplishments which have significantly improved and benefited library services. Both Muriel Fuller and Martha Gammon are similar in professional character in that both inspire Wisconsin Libraries. Working for the Arrowhead Library System Martha assists seven member libraries to create and produce brochures, flyers, booklists, library websites and other promotional materials. She is the creator of ALS Monday Memo Newsletter, which features ALS System news, but also library news at the state and national level. Tina Kakuske, Head of Adult Services for Beloit Public Library, said that "Martha is a tireless advocate of libraries and takes the library on the road to County events like the 4-H Fair, Rock County Baby Shower and the weekly radio show. She is referring to Martha's radio spot on WCLV that reaches Rock, Dane, Green and Walworth Counties.
Former director of the Arrowhead Library System Ruth Ann Montgomery noted that it would take pages to list all of the activities that Martha has organized and promoted in the 14 years she advocated libraries. Simply said, Muriel Fuller was a mentor and inspiration for Wisconsin Libraries and Martha Gammons is deserving of the award in her name because she is a true inspiration among today's library advocates.
The WLA Awards program is supported by the WLA Foundation through individual charitable contributions. The WLA engages, inspires and advocates for library workers and supporters to improve and promote library services for the people of Wisconsin. The awards program is one way the association acknowledges the dedication of its members to provide exemplary library serve to the people of Wisconsin.


Improving Your Fuel Efficiency on the Water.
Now, I'm the first to say, "You've got a $30,000 boat tied to the dock and you're fretting about $200 in fuel? Wassup, doc!?" But, with that said, "Waste not, want not!" and this column is about that.
Your prop is the next most important item to tune. "Tune up my prop?" you say? Yes. If your prop (pitch) is too large for the boat, you are wasting energy. Wait – it came with the boat as original equipment. How can it be too large now? Simple – as the boat gets older (i.e., heavier), the prop's "pitch", i.e., how far the boat goes with one revolution of the prop, has to come in order for the engine to still match the pitch and distance.
But wait. I have a 25' boat and she goes considerably faster than 6.7 knots. How? She uses horsepower to defeat the physics of the "hull speed" equation – also known as the "displacement speed" equation. As our power boats go faster, the "V" comes up OUT of the water – we convert from a displacement vessel to a "planing" vessel. But at 6.7 knots, I'm burning 2 gallons an hour. At 25 knots, I'm burning 10 times that but only going about 4 times as fast. It can get very complicated from here when we start talking about bow waves and stern waves interacting and the trim of the engine versus the waterline of the boat, etc. Suffice it to say this: You'll use less fuel at 20 knots than at 25 knots and you'll use less fuel at all speeds if you REDUCE your wetted surface (trim the bow up a bit (experiment at a fixed prop speed to see what your speed-over-the-water does at a given prop speed)) by using your trim tabs – and reducing the weight of the boat (back to the basics!) so the "V" doesn't sit so deeply in the water naturally.

Josh Dubois will show you how to Bartend Like a Pro.
Hi! I am Josh Dubois. I have been a professional bartender for five years. I apprenticed under a career bartender in New York City and I have worked in all sorts of bars from upscale bars to really high volume college bars. Today, what we are going to do is we are going to show you everything you need to know for your home bar. We are going to show you what liquors you are going to need to make any drink possible. We are going to show you what non-alcoholic perishable items you are going to need to set up your own bar.
We are going to show you all the tools and more importantly how to use those tools in your home and what tools to kind of avoid when you are setting up your bar.
We are also going to show you how to properly pour a beer and we re going to show you how to properly pour the liquor and we re going to show you also how to cut come fruit your cocktails at home.
So, one thing to always remember is when working with alcohol, you always want to be responsible, whenever you are bartending you should never be drinking and we are back here working with knives and such. So, you want to always be careful when you are making the drinks.
The next thing that I will go ahead and say, is to always remember never drink and drive, always have a sober driver and always be a responsible drinker. So, let's get started with what liquors you are going to need to set up your own home bar.

Moonlight' star Mahershala Ali gives emotional speech on conversion to Islam at SAG Awards
Edwin Chan, Caribpress, Entertainment, 01/30/17
Written and directed by Jenkins, "Moonlight" is the only release of 2016 that has topped over 300 Top 10 Lists praised by writers and critics nationwide.
Last night, the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were given away last night and A24's "Moonlight" received "Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role" for Mahershala Ali out of three nominations.
Ali, who plays "Juan," a drug dealer who becomes a father figure for young Chiron in "Moonlight," gave an emotional acceptance speech about his conversion to Islam and humanity.
"I think what I have learned from working on Moonlight, you see what happens in persecution," he said. "What I was so grateful about and having the opportunity was playing a gentleman who saw a young man folding into himself as a result of the persecution of his community, and taking that opportunity to uplift him and tell him he mattered, that he was OK. And accept him. I hope that we do a better job of that."
['Moonlight' Is Heartfelt and Beautifully Acted]
In addition to taking home "Best Motion Picture – Drama" at the Golden Globes earlier this month, the coming of age drama which follows a boy through life, has earned eight Academy Awards, six NAACP Image Award nominations, a Critics' Choice Award, four Gotham Awards including "Best Picture," a National Board of Review Award.
The 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, honors the best achievements in film and television performances for the year 2016.

Six Robbed At Gunpoint Last Night
by Bay City News | July 14, 2010 11:04 am | in News | 0
Six people were robbed at gunpoint in five separate incidents in San Francisco over a four-and-a-half hour period Tuesday night and early this morning, police said.
Police spokesman Sgt. Troy Dangerfield said there was no immediate information linking the robberies, which occurred throughout the city. No arrests were made.
In the first robbery, a 29-year-old woman was walking on Rose Street near Laguna Street in Hayes Valley at about 7:45 p.m. when two men in their 20s tried to grab her purse, police said.
When she resisted, she was pushed up against a wall and one of the suspects pointed a gun at her. The suspects took her purse and fled.
At 11:25 p.m., a 28-year-old woman walking on 18th Avenue near Anza Street in the Richmond District was approached by two men in their late teens or early 20s, according to police. One pointed a gun at her and robbed her of a cell phone.
At about 11:30 p.m., a 51-year-old man was robbed in front of his house in the 1600 block of Quesada Avenue in the Bayview District, police said. In that case, a man in his early 20s brandished a handgun, robbed the man of cash, and fled in a car.
About 45 minutes later, a 52-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman walking in the 400 block of Pacific Avenue in the Financial District were approached by a car containing multiple men in their 30s, according to police. One of the suspects got out, showed a handgun and robbed the two, and then got back in the car and drove off.
At about the same time, an armed robbery was reported in the 200 block of Leavenworth Street in the Tenderloin, police said. Two suspects, one a man in his 20s, pulled up to a 34-year-old man in a van and asked if he had any marijuana. When the man said he didn't, one suspect climbed out of the van, struck the victim with a gun and stole cash from him.


Directions: From Haysi, VA, go east on Rte. 80, to Birchleaf. Turn left on Rte. 607, go approximately 1.5 miles to Rte. 617, turn left, go about .9 mile. The cemetery is on the right and is visible from the road.
perform a memorial service on September 19, 2004, for Confederate Veterans, A. J. Edwards and Jeremiah Yates, who are buried in this cemetery.

Egypt: Military issues ultimatum. 'Almost two days after millions of Egyptian converged on the streets demanding the downfall of President Mohammed Morsi, the military, which has long been called on to intervene, stepped in with a powerful statement declaring that it will step in if the crisis isn't resolved within 48 hours. ...'
Egypt: MB worried about coup attempt. 'The political wing of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood has called on supporters to take to the streets to resist an army move that a spokesman compared to the coup which brought Egypt six decades of military-backed rule. "This is a very critical moment in Egyptian history - we are facing a moment very similar to 1952," Freedom and Justice Party spokesman Murad Ali told Reuters on Tuesday. In that year, Gamal Abdel Nasser and the Free Officers overthrew King Farouk.' But the main opposition group says it would not support a military coup.
Canada/Egypt: Canada closes Cairo embassy. 'The Canadian embassy in Cairo is closed for security reasons, the department of foreign affairs, trade and development said Tuesday. It will remain closed until further notice. "We take the safety of our personnel and our mission overseas very seriously," a spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird told CBC News. "We are monitoring events closely and taking appropriate security measures," Rick Roth wrote in an email. ..'
Michael Totten: Anything could happen. Michael J. Totten writes:
Political Islam may be in the process of being discredited in Egypt before our very eyes. Then again, the Salafists may win hearts and minds by saying the Muslim Brothers were too moderate, that the only solution to what ails Egypt is their stern and unyielding and total imposition of political Islam.
Egypt could revert to its age-old default condition and be ruled again by a military dictatorship.
Civilian technocrats might take over.
Morsi could purge the army again and impose a vicious police state of his own.
Egypt could cycle through a rapid series of new presidents like Argentina did some years back when its economy collapsed.
Egypt isn't prone to communal civil war like Lebanon, Syria, Algeria, and Iraq, but there's a first time for everything.
Maybe none of the above scenarios will come to pass, but all of them are possible. ...

Julian Assange: The real questions now fall on Ecuador, says lawyer
A rape case has been dropped against Julian Assange (Stock image)
A former Government lawyer has suggested Ecuador now faces real questions after Sweden dropped its rape investigation into Julian Assange.
Carl Gardner made the comments after Sweden's director of public prosecutions said there were no further avenues to explore in the country's investigation into Assange. However the Wikileaks founder still faces a charge of jumping bail in the UK.
The Met Police has said it is obliged to arrest Assange if he steps foot outside the Ecuadorian Embassy, where he has been holed up for the past five years.
Thus Gardner said the Ecuadorians have an interesting decision to make about letting him leave their embassy, as technically the country has granted him asylum.
Gardner isn't sure the Americans will make a request to extradite him now, but claimed there had never previously been a request.

Restoration Theatre | Restoration Drama Characteristics
November 30, 2022 by Shyam
Under Puritan rigidity, the English theater underwent a particularly difficult time. After Charles I's deposition in the same year (1642), the theater, which had seen tremendous popularity throughout the reigns of Elizabeth and the Stuarts, was formally closed by an order of Parliament. Up to the reinstatement of the monarchy in 1660, theater was not permitted to be performed in public and was inactive.
Charles II was reinstated to the throne in 1660. After a long twenty years of official silence during the Puritan's rule, drama also formally returned to England. The English people's thirst for this was undoubtedly unaffected by the 20-year absence of theatrical entertainment. However, the plays that were performed for them were remarkably dissimilar from those of the Elizabethan era and the early seventeenth century. With the civil war, something in England perished. Particularly in dramatic writing, one could experience that intense yet frequently elusive sensation of loss.
Characteristics of Restoration drama
Heroic Plays of Restoration age
Restoration tragedy
Restoration comedy:
The Elizabethan theater's spontaneity seems to have vanished. The dramatist's personal perspective on life vanished. Drama has, in some ways, become arrogant, fake, and overly staged. The primary source of the dramatists' dramatic ideas became court life, with all its mannerisms, immorality, and illusory glory. Of course, this new trend in the theater was noticed over time rather than right once. Through Dryden's "The Wild Gallant" and Etherege's "Love in a Tub," it became blatantly apparent in the world of comedy.

Changes in theatrical technique also occurred. Stage equipment became necessary, and moveable scenery started to be utilized. Actresses were then brought in to perform female roles. Compared to the Elizabethan era, the Restoration era's audience had a different makeup. The Restoration theater became a hub of obscene behavior and cheap entertainment for dishonest courtiers and haughty royalists. As a result, the dramatic works—especially the comedies—were extremely licentious.
The heroic plays that replaced serious tragic dramas marked the beginning of the Restoration theatre's new fashion. The incredible adventures that certain heroic individuals undertook were the basis of heroic plays. Heroic feats, dramatic events, and bombastic reactions were performed in front of a crowded theater. Heroic playwrights include John Dryden, the principal architect, Sir Robert Howard, and Davenant, the pioneers.
As a middle ground between tragedy and romance, the heroic plays of the Restoration seem to be in a class by themselves. Chivalrous-honor, love, and conflict are the principal topics of these plays. A romantic scene is used to try to illustrate the tension between love and honor. In the heroic plays, heroic characters are shown as having superhuman abilities and acting or expressing somewhat differently from the normal. The fight between love and honor in a heroic character or personalities is the main focus of the entire action, to some extent.
The main honor of the Restoration theater, however, goes to Dryden, the greatest writer of the time. Between 1669 and 1677, he successfully continued his theatrical career with "Tyrannic Love" or "The Royal Martyr", "The Conquest of Granada" by the Spaniards, in two parts, "Aureng-Zebe" or "The Great Mughol". His famous play, "All for Love," is regarded as both a tragedy and a heroic play.
But in the English theatre of the Restoration, the heroic plays don't appear to have had a long and illustrious career. It reached its pinnacle with Dryden and nearly fell with him. Its supremacy was quickly displaced by the Restoration's social comedy of manners, which was more in line with the spirit of the time.
However, despite being significantly overshadowed by the heroic, tragic plays are still represented in the history of the Restoration theater. The Elizabethan tragedy lacks both the elegant allure and tragic grandeur of the Restoration tragedy.
The Restoration tragedy was mostly known for Dryden. His "All for Love" (or The World Well Lost), which was written in emulation of Shakespeare's classic play "Antony and Cleopatra" in 1677, is particularly notable in the annals of English tragedy. The form of Dryden's tragedy is traditional, and it adheres meticulously to the idea of three unities. The play is without a doubt Dryden's best, and is perhaps the finest Restoration tragedy, despite contrasts from Shakespeare's classic Roman drama in its concept and characters.
However, Thomas Otway stands out as the most notable figure in the Restoration tragedy because his two potent plays, "The Orphan" and "Venice Preserved", have enhanced the stature of this tragedy on their own. Otway has created tragic feelings using a fully human approach, as though he knows the key to the tragic emotion. A sincere tragic emotion takes the place of the foolishness of circumstances or of verbal bombast. In later times, Otway's tragedies garner more honor and fame than Dryden's. In contrast to Dryden's, they are not heroic tragedies. These plays are more closely related to the category of domestic tragedy that includes "Othello" by Shakespeare and "The Duchess of Malfi" by Webster.
However, comedies are the main genre in which the Restoration theater excels. These comedies are discovered to have a variety of aspects, including farcical comedy, comedy of manners, comedy of intrigue, and comedy of humor. The clever, entertaining lighthearted comedies of the era may have best captured the sentiment of the people who had just been freed from the stringent restrictions of the Puritans.
Again, Dryden is at the center of the Restoration comedy with works like "The Assignation", "The Spanish Friar", "Wild Gallant", and "Marriage a la Mode". However, despite the fact that he uses excellent effects in dialogue, his achievement is limited.
It's been discovered that the Restoration comedies' humor mimics that of the Jonsonian comedies. Early Restoration comedists like Shadwell, Sadley, Crowne, and a few others appear to have been inspired by Ben Johnson's comedy of humor; yet, their feeble attempts to emulate the great Elizabethan master only serve to highlight their weak dramatic abilities.

Your outdoor space should be your own little slice of heaven. But of course everyone has a different definition of what that means to them. For some it's all about having a space that's a bit more on the fantastical side. So here are some of the top options you can add to your yard to make it instantly more whimsical.
Easily the most famous and one of popular choices are garden gnomes. However, just because these little statues are considered a classic option that doesn't mean they are boring. In fact it's quite the opposite. They actually are available in a seemingly endless range of poses from the totally innocent to extremely naughty. And of course that means in a variety of different themes as well to make sure they match your space, interests, and taste. It's no wonder so many people start with one or two gnomes in their garden and end up with an ever-expanding collection all around their property.
For many people one of the most enjoyable ways to add bit of fantasy to their outdoor space is by creating a fairy garden. By strategically planting living flowers and plants in a pot you can make a miniature landscape that's the ideal space for fairies. And then of course you'll want to add fairy figurines along with tiny features such as a house for them to live in. These are often sold as kits and many backyard gardeners quickly find themselves enjoying the process so much that it becomes one of their hobbies.
Like many living creatures, trees are believed by a lot of cultures and individuals around the world to have a spirit. Whether you believe this or not, you can still have fun with the idea by giving them their very own tree face. Of course you may want to do this with just one or multiple trees. Fortunately faces come in many different types and styles from animals to much more whimsical tree faces depending on what you prefer. A few are even scary in appearance. Faces are often made to fit around the body of the tree or to be placed in a hollow section making them appear quite natural.
Some of the most fun options are statues made in the form of fantasy style creatures. From dragons to gargoyles and unicorns there are plenty of unique and even hilarious ways to go. So it's not hard to find your favorite creatures from movies, stories, and legends. For instance Bigfoot garden statues have become increasingly popular in recent years.
While some are more reasonably sized, life-size statues can be as tall as seven or eight feet and therefore are capable of making a giant impact. When made from a material like resin they can also be highly realistic. For a more artistic looking backyard monster a wooden Bigfoot statue will likely be hand-carved and therefore have the artist's personal touch.
Adding a bit of fantasy to your outdoor space is always fun. And whether you decide to use one, some, or all of these options you're sure to make it not only more whimsical but totally unique as well.
