A mob of about 20 individuals pulled off three smash-and-grab robberies in 20 minutes Friday night at Hollywood 7-Elevens — the same day Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed bills into law that are said to combat such crimes, KNBC-TV reported.The crooks fled on bicycles from the stores, which are within a two-mile radius of each other, the station said.The station also rolled surveillance video of a similar smash-and-grab by a mob of teenagers at another area 7-Eleven the previous week.The first store on 7040 West Sunset Blvd. was robbed just after 8 p.m., KNBC said, adding that the business was left with a broken window.The second store near Hollywood and Highland was robbed at 8:16 p.m., the station said, adding that the crooks assaulted an employee.The third store at 5700 Santa Monica Boulevard was robbed at 8:22 p.m., KNBC said.More from the station:The string of robberies took place on the same day Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bipartisan package of 10 bills that aims to crack down on smash-and-grab robberies and property crimes, making it easier to go after repeat shoplifters and auto thieves and increase penalties for those running professional reselling schemes.The station also rolled surveillance video of a similar smash-and-grab by a mob of teenagers at another area 7-Eleven the previous week.It's worth noting that a mob of about 30 teenagers on bicycles were caught on video brutally beating up and robbing a lone man in downtown Los Angeles earlier this month. The victim suffered a broken leg — which will require surgery — as well as deep cuts all over his body after getting kicked and punched while on the ground.How are observers reacting?Over 150 comments were logged under the KNBC YouTube video report — and as you might expect, they weren't happy:"Parent is like, 'Bring me home some chips & cigarettes sweetie. Have fun,'" one commenter noted sarcastically."How sad is an entire state [that has] been taken over by teenagers?!?!" another commenter opined."Stop calling them people. People don't act this way," another commenter stated. "Clearly this is some other species.""Only bookstores are safe in California," another commenter quipped.Like Blaze News?

Impeachment Inquiry Report Reveals How Much $$$ the Bidens Made Peddling Influence Since 2014

After a report revealing that Apple has ramped up work on a robot, most likely an iPad-like tablet with robotic arms and a speaker, it seems Foxconn could be responsible for manufacturing this product. According to Taiwan's United Daily News (via MacRumors), the Hongzhun factory in Taiwan will play a "critical role" in developing this device. This factory belongs to Foxconn. At this year's shareholder meeting, the company announced it will invest capital in new target areas, including robots and AI. With that, the company could be responsible for developing the mechanical parts and chassis of Appel's desktop robot. With previous experience with Foxconn's own robot, this could be a great business opportunity for this factory to be the key supply chain for Apple's upcoming robot devices. Previously, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that this Apple robot will feature a large, iPad-like display mounted on a “thin robotic arm.” It tilts and rotates a full 360º, serving as a “smart home command center,” a hub for FaceTime calls, and a home security monitoring tool. With a focus on Apple Intelligence and Siri, this device would recognize different voices in the house and perform a Center Stage-like feature to face users in the room whenever they speak to it. While Apple has been working on robotic home devices for some time now, Gurman says Apple has put Kevin Lynch, the company’s VP of technology, in charge of this project. Several hundred people are reportedly working on the device. With a possible release date between 2026 and 2027, Apple aims at the high-end market, as this iPad-like robotic home device would cost around $1,000. At this moment, the first Apple home robot runs a modified version of iPadOS, but other details are unclear. BGR will keep following the latest details on this future product as we learn more about it.

O·U·O·S·V·A·V·V D·                                             M· The Shepherd's Monument at Shugborough Hall, nestled in the serene English countryside of Staffordshire, proudly displays a ten-letter inscription that has long captivated the minds of code breakers and treasure hunters. This inscription, coupled with a sculpture of Nicolas Poussin's masterpiece, The Arcadian Shepherds, has ignited a thrilling intellectual pursuit, leaving history enthusiasts and code breakers eagerly anticipating the stimulating challenge of deciphering its mysteries. Shugborough Inscription: Wordplay for the Lords and Ladies, author Dan Mento has proposed three unique solutions to the mysteries of the monument, each carrying historical and linguistic implications. The first solution, DOUOSVAVVM, is a testament to the fleeting nature of life and the enduring power of language, solved using wordplay: anagrams, palindrome, and a macaronic phrase. The second solution, a geometric construct that forms the planet Saturn, reveals Thomas Wright of Durham as the monument's designer. The third solution, a Baconian-inspired anagram of Et In Arcadia Ego, not only unveils the hidden secret of Poussin's painting The Arcadian Shepherds but also reveals an anagram, the archaic Latin deai defined as goddesses, Greek Gaia described as Earth's goddess, and Greek Ceto, daughter of Gaia, represents a primordial sea goddess. Deai, Gaia, and Ceto allude to the author of the Shugborough Shepherd's inscription, Thomas Anson, and the monument's dedication to his brother, Admiral George Anson.
