Summer is right around the corner, and Dowtin Jr. couldn't be happier. The elementary schooler is looking forward to attending the annual LifeBUILDERS summer day camp program, which takes place in Regent Park, the Detroit neighborhood where he lives.
"I'm excited and ready," he says. "We do fun activities. I make friends. You get gym
Davon Downtin Jr. and Charles Reeder activities. We do a lot of stuff."
The summer of 2022 will mark LifeBUILDERS 12th year holding the annual day camp. Based in Regent Park, LifeBUILDERS is a faith-based Christian community development organization dedicated to serving the northeast Detroit community of about 10,000 residents.
The camp is just one of the many spokes in the nonprofit's wheelhouse, which also includes building housing renovation work, senior outreach and youth programming like flag football, mentorship, and summer employment.
This year the day camp will be taking place between June 27 and July 15 at St. Thomas Lutheran Church, a short ways down the road from Regent Park in Eastpointe. The program, which is open to youth in grades 1-6, takes place Monday through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The camp's programming offers a mix of indoor and outdoor activities that include science projects, cooking classes, games, singing, and bible lessons as well as electives like crafts, LEGOs, and basketball.
Geared towards Regent Park youth, the day camp accepts 150 youth each year. Larry Johnson, co-founder and executive director of LifeBUILDERS, says the organization started the camp to fill a need that wasn't being met in Regent Park.
"Honestly the Lord just laid it on our hearts," he says. "Kids here in our under-resourced community don't get many affordable opportunities to do really cool things. When we started out the first camp we had about 50 kids, and it just kept growing and growing."
This year's camp will feature a special collaboration with Camp Michawana, another faith-based Christian organization that runs its own camp in Hastings, Michigan. Counselors from Michawana will be bringing their expertise to Regent Park for a special mini-camp they'll be holding with LifeBUILDERS from June 9-11. Among other things, the mini-camp will feature t-shirt tie-dying, volleyball games and water balloon fights. Then, after the third week of the LifeBUILDERS day camp, a portion of participating youth will have the opportunity to travel to Camp Michawana in Hastings itself for a week-long overnight camp.
Davon's cousin, Charles Reeder, will also be attending LifeBUILDERS summer camp this June. The 14-year-old has been participating in the day camp since the third grade, but this year he's going to be attending as a counselor.
"I really like the interaction you have with other kids there and the counselors," he says. "And that it's so Christ-focused and that you learn about the word while still having fun."
Charles' mother, Stacy Kallapure, is appreciative of the program and what participating in it has meant for him.
"Its given him an a chance to do activities that he really really likes to do [like] arts and crafts," she says."And as a [former] Sunday school teacher just to hear him talk about the Bible and know it freely and be able to experience the things he does has been very heartwarming to me."
Central Detroit Summer Camp
Another camp that's been popular with Detroit youth can be found a little closer to the geographic heart of the Motor City. Central Detroit Christian (CDC) has been hosting its own annual summer day camp for more than two decades. It's part of a
CDC Summer Day Camp larger curriculum of youth programming that also includes year-round tutoring and educational enrichment classes.
This year's six-week long camp will be taking place at 1550 Taylor Street from June 28 to August 4, Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The faith-based nonprofit's free program will feature a mix of arts and crafts, sports, literacy education, gardening, interactive field trips and bible lessons.
Of special interest this year will be a partnership between CDC and Neighborhood Arts School (NAS). Billy and Sarah Marks of NAS will be collaborating with the camp's youth to create an original theater production based on the history of the neighborhood, including CDC's headquarters which previously served as the home to both the Tried Stone Baptist Church and a synagogue known as the Taylor Shul.
Kyle Lake, CDC's program director, says the summer camp is intended to be a place of refuge and strength for local kids, many of whom may be dealing with issues like poverty or violence.
"We want our kids to understand the importance of community and also our goal is to remind them that they're loved," he says. "Our goal is to not only be with them, but to raise up future leaders who can be a part of and run this day camp for years to come."
Summer Fun in Woodbridge
Parents in Detroit's Woodbridge neighborhood also have plenty of summer fun options to consider for their children, thanks to Woodbridge Neighborhood Development (WDN) and a variety of local partners.
"We're excited to offer quality of life fitness programs, yoga and tai chi. and extensive reading arts and crafts and sports for kids Monday through Thursday in Scripps Park," says Rienna Stewart, WDN's director of communications and
Youth at Scripps Park programming.
The summer's activities, which kick off regularly near the tail-end of June, will be taking place Monday through Thursdays at Scripps Park. Many of the events are being put together in collaboration with the Detroit Public Library's Douglass Branch and will feature an "Oceans of Possibility" theme. They include arts and crafts days, summer reading fun programs and other activities like a magic show, mad science under the sea workshop, instrument "petting zoo, and meetups with mermaids and Spongebob Squarepants. The Monday through Thursday events will be paired with a Meetup and Eat Up program offering free lunch meals to youth ages 18 and younger.
Detroit Audubon will also be holding several bird watching events at Scripps Park. The recreation area will also be the site of Westside PLAY!. Led by the Motor City Grounds Crew (MCGC), the program helps provide neighborhood kids with a safe place to play and encourages exposure to sports like field hockey and lacrosse. WDN is partnering with MCGC to hold the event at Scripps on Thursdays. Westside PLAY will also take place this summer in Northwest Goldberg and Virginia Park through a collaboration with the NW Goldberg Cares and 360 Detroit nonprofits. A full listing of WDN summer events can be found on the nonprofit's online calendar.

Q: Converting GeoTIFF to simple XYZ elevation file Is there a tool to convert a GeoTIFF file to a simple ascii (XYZ) elevation file?

A: In GRASS GIS, the command r.out.xyz does this conversion job. Instead of first importing the GeoTIFF file, you can simply register it beforehand with r.external in the GRASS GIS location (i.e. basically the needed project directory).

A: You should be able to do this using the gdal_translate command line tool.
http://www.gdal.org/gdal_translate.html
To convert to Arc/Info ASCII Grid:
gdal_translate -of AAIGrid elevation.tif elevation.asc

To convert to ASCII Gridded XYZ:
gdal_translate -of XYZ elevation.tif elevation.xyz

Binary executables of the GDAL tools are available here: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries

Karen Black, one of the most important actresses of the "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls"-era of American cinema has passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Her film career started cooking in 1966 when she worked with Francis Ford Coppola in his early film 'You're a Big Boy Now,' and it seems her association with the outsiders who were banging at the gates of Hollywood led to a role in 'Easy Rider' in 1969. That film was ground zero for what would become one of the greatest periods in American cinema.
She followed it with her turn in 1970's 'Five Easy Pieces,' which is (close to inarguably) her best role. There she played Rayette Dipesto, who was living with Jack Nicholson's Bobby Dupea. He was a smart guy who struggled against his upbringing and family, while she tried to be the loving partner. She just wanted to get married, bowl and have kids, whereas Bobby is filled with so much disappointment and hate that he can't settle. The role led to her sole Oscar nomination.
And though Black was there for some of the best of 70's cinema, like Robert Altman's masterpiece 'Nashville,' she also appeared in a number films that didn't work, including the 1974 adaptation of 'The Great Gatsby,' and the 1975 adaptation of 'The Day of the Locust.' But there were other good roles: She appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's final film 'Family Plot' in 1976, and she's also fondly remembered for the chapter in the anthology TV movie 'Trilogy of Terror,' where she had to battle a Zuni doll.
But though Hollywood may have never found a solid place for her, not everyone can be said to inspire the name of a band, as she did for the punk group The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. Black is survived by her son, and adopted daughter.

Williams drops Massa disqualification appeal
Nov.20 (GMM) Williams has dropped its appeal against Felipe Massa's disqualification from the Brazilian grand prix.
After a tyre on the Brazilian driver's car was found to have exceeded Pirelli's heat limit by a massive 27 degrees, the FIA expelled him from the results.
"The team has served notice of an appeal," the British team announced immediately.
Engineering chief Rob Smedley said the FIA's measurement was contradicted by no fewer than three of the team's own sensors, with Massa adding: "Williams will not be quiet, because what happened was very strange."
But the Grove based team has already wrapped up third place in the constructors' championship this year, and has decided now that appealing Sunday's verdict would simply cost money.
"A hearing date is unlikely to be available until after the end of the season, impacting a time when the team wishes to turn its attention to its 2016 campaign," Williams declared.
"Given the financial climate of the sport, and the fact that the decision does not impact the team's constructors' championship position, it has been decided that this would be an unnecessary cost to endure," it added.

Are you carefully and strategically planning to make or expand your move into the cloud? STOP right there! There's something important we think you need to know!
No matter what stage of the cloud adoption journey you think you're at, there's an 87% chance some of your data is already in the cloud.
That's right. While you've been carefully researching and weighing up all the pros and cons in the boardroom, ready or not, your people may have, literally, hit upload and taken your cloud journey into their own hands!
How do we know? A whopping 87% of senior managers have admitted to regularly uploading work files to a personal email or cloud account!
No way! How is that possible?
Here's how… Cloud computing has essentially "democratised" access to enterprise-grade technology – we say it all the time, and this is a great thing! Today's best-in class solutions can be delivered to everyday end users via the wonders of highly sophisticated Software as a Service (SaaS) applications and associated cloud services. Your people might not even realise it, but they're already most likely using a host of domestic grade SaaS apps to create, store, share and communicate on their personal devices, and, naturally, they want demand the same ease and flexibility at work. So, they take matters into their own hands, and before you know it: You've got Shadow IT!
Shadow IT refers to software or hardware adopted or installed by end users without the explicit consent or knowledge of your IT department. Typical examples of Shadow IT might include instant messaging apps, domestic-grade cloud/file sharing services, off-the-shelf software downloaded, purchased or installed by users, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, USB storage devices… you get the picture! Think Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, photo or document editing or design tools, etc.
Poor password or authentication management, if any!
Short answer: Because they can! And often, it's easier than what you've got on offer for them.
Thanks to the explosion in the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend in the workplace, many workers are opting to, or even actually required to, use their own devices and software for work purposes. This means that all their personal apps – the ones they love, use every day and seem easier to use than yours, have made their way into your workplace by default. Your people love them and use them at work because they already know how to use them, and they can manage updates and changes at their own discretion "hassle-free".
The flip side of BYOD is that if people are used to using their own apps and devices, they often then find themselves frustrated or restricted by the technology provided by their organisation, which might be different, have more policies or controls around it, or require training. Curbing a wildfire spread of shadow IT, means offering more than just fit-for-purpose systems, processes and technologies. We're talking solutions that are both purpose-fit and offer the faster, more efficient user experience your people are used to elsewhere. Then you basically eliminate the need them to resort to sourcing their own solutions.
Ever raised your frustrations with outdated technology or seen an opportunity to implement something new and exciting only to be told by IT "we can't support that"? Even when it's not an outright "no", it's often only a tentative yes followed by a lengthy process of testing and evaluation. In the meantime, your team has set about finding a work-around, which may or may not be something you would sanction. Worse still, they've probably lost their drive to bring any new ideas to the table in the future!
Here's a bit of a scary stat (especially in light of all the new data security regulation changes at play!) Some 23% of employees believe their departments can manage security without IT's help.
Let's be real; it's probably impossible to eradicate Shadow IT entirely from your business, but the old mantra still comes into play: You can't manage what you can't measure. Implementing visibility, control and protection around the devices and services that are being used in your organisation will ensure you can run the right checks and balances against your security, data privacy requirements and policies, as well as productivity goals. Having a clear framework around what is and isn't acceptable also gives you a platform for responding to agile workplace demands and a process for vetting or fast-tracking new ideas or requests.
The 6 Steps to Successfully Managing Shadow IT in your Organisation!
Understand the value of your data, where and how it is stored, and how vulnerable it may be.
Implement company policies that set the standard for your organisation. These might include SaaS, BYOD, Acceptable Use or Digital Rights Management policies.
Communicate with and educate your employees about the importance of security on both a personal and business level.
Implement visibility, control and protection technologies to help you monitor, manage and mitigate Shadow IT. Examples of this include IT discovery and audit tools, device and network monitoring tools, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, and Multifactor Authentication (MFA)…just to name a few.
Create a regular forum and clear channels where employees feel free to explain what they need, put new ideas forward, or champion change in your organisation.
At Maxsum, we're committed to ensuring your business technology is accessible, recoverable and secure whenever and wherever you need to work. Talk to us about the business technology tools that can give you the visibility, control and protection you need to mitigate security risks in your organisation today!
3+2 Top Tech Tips – Boost productivity- Everyday there are new features added to the products and services we use, but sometimes there's just too much "newness" to keep up with.

We are using GruntJS to do builds on our CSS and JS files and then will usually manually insert a cache buster string into our page headers. Currently, we blow the cache on either all the CSS or JS files by adding a cache buster string to every file. Its not the best way of doing it and its quite a manual process. I found a few plugins on NPM for cache busting, but none of them did exactly what I wanted.
There is one particular plugin that I used Grunt Cache Bust. At first I forked the code, then told the author I would be adding some functionality and was going to do a pull request. But he didnt seem too keen on adding in my features. Instead I decided to just use his code as a base, but ended up changing a lot of how it worked. I would say it's about 20% of his code and the rest was rewritten. But wanted to give credit where credit was due.
The process of writing the plugin gave me a greater understanding to how node.js and GruntJS work. I decided to call my plugin Bust My Cache, its available on NPM, Github and you can also find it through the GruntJS plugin page by searching for "bust-my-cache".
Feel free to download it and use it as part of your project!


With Avengers: Infinity War opening this weekend, Cinema Sins has just released their new video finding Everything Wrong with Thor: Ragnarok. Which is a pretty fascinating look at the film that most people really liked, myself included. It's easy to overlook plot holes on the first pass of a film, especially one that was as funny and spectacular as Thor: Ragnarok. You spend so much time on the revelations or watching Cate Blanchett as Hela or Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster, that you really don't pay attention t stuff like how Loki (Tom Hiddleston) had been on Sakaar for weeks yet has no idea the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) was there, even though he is on posters all over the place. Him suddenly remembering how Hulk beat the crap out of him in Marvel's Avengers makes for a good comedic moment.
There really are a ton of plot holes, but then again the film was partially improvised, which the studio was okay with. It got to showcase Chris Hemsworth comedic timing, something that no one was aware of when the first film was made. So you can compare the epic fantasy of Thor versus the sci-fi comedy of Thor: Ragnarok and decide if solid plot is more or less important then adventurous fun. And no, I didn't forget Thor: The Dark World… but I'm trying.

Sons of the Forest: Release Date
December 26, 2020 December 26, 2020 by Borut Udovic
Endnight Games were responsible for the beautifully made "The Forest". Now, they've teased their new goals for the future and the release of "Sons of the Forest", "The Forest" sequel.
These developers, even though unknown until a few years back, managed to hit it so big with their title "The Forest". That game remained critics' favorite for quite some time, and managed to get unbelievably good feedback. The Forest is a first-person survival horror game, which in some ways pioneered some aspects to the gaming community. In light of this fact, there is so much anticipation for the sequel, and players are eager to know its release date.
Release Date for Sons of the Forest
Back in 2019, Endnight Games teased the sequel at the Game Awards. Some time has passed until they teased their new game, and so much is unknown still about the Sons of the Forest.
Endnight Games keeps releasing trailers which do give us another look at the game, but as far as release dates go, it is scheduled to be released in 2021. Other then that, for the exact dates, we might have to wait a while.
What's Different with Sons of the Forest?
What's more frustrating is the new trailer, and I do not mean in a bad way. It shows us just how much Endnight Games have evolved, and how much has improved with the sequel.
The story, even though we only have a glimpse of it, seems much more composed and linear. On top of that, much focus has been allocated to the beings, and they seem scarier than ever. Graphics-wise, it's pretty self-explanatory, many have had a problem with The Forest, but the sequel seems much more up to date and stable.
Sons of the Forest Platforms
Like I said, there is not much to go on about this game, and the same goes for which platforms it is planned to be released on. What we know now is that The Forest was only available for Windows and PS4, and no other platforms were added.
Some speculate that it will be the same for Sons of the Forest, but we can't know for sure until Endnight Games come out and clear things up a bit. For now, we have to sit tight and see how things will unfold.
Make sure to follow us for more information on Sons of the Forest.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions unveiled new "zero tolerance" immigration measures this week, including a policy to separate children and parents caught crossing the border illegally. The Justice Department vowed to prosecute every person who illegally enters the U.S., jailing adults and transferring children to shelters. In the past, most families have been kept together while awaiting civil deportation hearings. "If you are smuggling a child…that child will be separated from you," Sessions said at a law enforcement conference in Scottsdale. "If you don't like that, then don't smuggle children over our border." The Department of Homeland Security said 700 children have been separated from their parents since October. The Trump administration also announced an end to Temporary Protected Status in January 2020 for an estimated 57,000 Hondurans who have been allowed to live and work in the U.S. following a 1998 hurricane.
White House aides are reportedly urging President Trump to fire embattled Environmental Protection Agency director Scott Pruitt. Pruitt is now facing at least 11 federal investigations into his conduct on a wide range of ethics concerns, including lavish spending on domestic and foreign travel and a controversial condominium rental agreement involving the wife of a lobbyist. At least five senior EPA staff members have resigned in the past month. Republicans increasingly see Andrew Wheeler, the newly confirmed EPA deputy director, as an acceptable replacement to Pruitt. A former coal lobbyist, Wheeler would be able to pursue Trump's aggressive deregulatory agenda without drawing as much attention as Pruitt. Trump himself is reported to be growing frustrated with Pruitt, reacting angrily to a report that Pruitt's staff tried to leak damaging information about Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke in order to divert attention away from Pruitt's scandals.

It has never been in doubt that Motor-mouthed Ugandan Kick boxer Golola Moses can set his wits to work.
Metaphorically speaking, dude is a human tourist attraction, who, if given chance or occasion, can talk the hind legs of a donkey [Pun intended] and who in his own words, can make a woman pregnant by just his glance.
With his spontaneous wit, gift of gab and with much needed adjustments to his wardrobe, Golola would do just good attracting-lady tourists to Uganda like moths to a flame.
Anybody can get in on the Uganda tourism promotion act, whatever their hustle.
If the missy curvy people are doing it, why not Golola.
Seeing that his kickboxing star is slowly fading [I stand corrected], he should make do with second strings to his bow-such as comedy, movies and tourism promotion.
Golola's numerous one liner jokes and humorous anecdotes-undoubtedly made him the life and soul of the recently concluded eventful three day Northern Uganda tourism tulambule tour.
The tour, aimed at raising awareness of some of Northern Uganda's best tourist sites started on Friday [1st march] last week and ended on Sunday.
Granted-Cutie-Fabiola, Gaetano and funny man Salvador, were the poster guys for the tour but Golola flipped the script as he held down the showstopper fort, right from the time, the tour team, left Kampala for their first stop in Luwero market.
His charisma and wit [both work like charms] were evident for all to discern.
The idea to use Golola and other young high profile Ugandans to open new horizons for Uganda's tourist sector is a welcome development.
It could be the grain of mustard that brings grist to Uganda's tourist mill.
On the tour first stop, the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Golola had Luwero market on lock down, as the food vendors, all struggled to catch a glimpse of the half man, half amazing.
Celebrities-Gaetano, Fabiola, flamboyant State Minister for Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities Godfrey Kiwanda, Marcus and Salvado, all caused excitement but it was nowhere close to the excitement Golola drew forth, when we got to the market.
Golola literally took the shine off them but nobody made a palaver of it.
To all appearances, there was a great sense of occasion, as it was playing right into the hands of the organisers.
Back on the Uganda Wildlife Authority tour bus, Golola who clearly knew his limits; kept spewing more sporadic jokes as we traveled forth.
Needless to add, our lunch had been delayed.
The all agog tour team included a bevy of young-dressed to the nines- flamboyant women, who, on several occasions; spoke with plum in the mouth accents; that at some points, our hosts asked if they were not Ugandan.
Its amazing how movies and songs make our millennials get accents and live in a make believe world; when some have not even crossed the Rwandese border [read the border is closed].
The upshot of the rounds of alcohol being served on the tour bus was that the back and forth conversations became louder and riveting.
Nothing gets louder than an alcohol induced conversation and usually it gets even the shiest of folks buoyed up.
And for good measure, it did on the bus; cept ofcourse for the teetotalers, who were few, however.
The NBS "Another round team" also known for inebriation during their show, got on in the act and so did the masterminds of the tour-William Byaruhanga and Tendo Kaggwa.
A hankering for travel is something the young-pie eyed women and men, all shared and at every stop, we made, the big grins on their faces could show.
At the magnificent Pakuba and Para safari lodges and Para ferry landing site, in Nwoya district, all and sundry, got into taking selfies and dancing to the Mubaku musical team, who to their credit, gave a good account of themselves.
The good sound from their traditional instructments made Fabiola and Miss Uganda UK- Penny Wampamba, get their grooves on, to a turn.
The real icing on the cake for the tour team, however, were the visits to Aruu falls campsite and Fort Patiko in Pader district.
It was a tad piping hot but it was lit all the same, at the tour posse made hay, playing in the water falls and swimming in the wide water catchment area, just below the huge rocks that the falls cascade on.
It was the tour's highlight in every sense of the world.
After the swim, the tours high profile names got into the Apirr, Bola and Adyere dances, which were being solemnized by the Otto clan.
Golola again was the highlight, again, cracking up most of the local dancers and villagers, by colorfully and at times, comically imitating their dance moves.
Fort Patiko was eventful as well, but mostly for the selfies aficionados and those seeking lessons on its slave trade history.
A back of the envelope calculation shows that Golola was paid handsomely and it was not money for old rope, for the record.
Dude brought his A-humour game to the tour.
The smiles on the faces of the tour team, every time, he dropped a joke, speak to that fact.
Iam sure all and sundry would love to have him on the next tours.
House of D.J's [event concepts, event marketing] were behind the Tulambule tour.
They were supported by the Uganda Tourism Board, Koi Koi, Uganda Wildlife Authority, amongst others.
The fifth edition of the Northern Ugandan-tulambule tour [tour of Northern Uganda] kicked off-Friday[1st March] at the independence monument in Kampala, Uganda.
The all agog tour team, which included a bevy of Ugandan Radio and T.V celebrities, tourism media enthusiasts and Uganda Wildlife officials were flagged off at 11a.m, by the flamboyant Ugandan State Minister for Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, Godfrey Kiwanda.
The mostly youthful, sowing wild oats-team are on a three day awareness raising tour of some of Northern Uganda's best tourism destinations.
House of D.J's, a company whose niche is event concepts, event marketing, amongst others is behind the tourism awareness initiative, which has been named Tulambule.
They are supported by the Uganda Tourism Board, Koi Koi, Uganda Wildlife Authority, amongst others.
"Our tours to Northern Uganda are aimed at showcasing and creating awareness of the available tourism destinations in Uganda.
We will cover the multiple aspects of every site we visit in order to promote the captivating aspects of each location and region.
The upshot is to create exposure of the sites through an aggressive Public Relations campaign," Philip Mukusaba, the events operations manager, told Masaabachronicle.
The itinerary starts on Friday [February 29th] with visits to Ziiwa Sanctuary (Rhino Tour), Kabalega Diner (High Way Stop), Kafu River Bridge (High Way Stop), Karuma Falls (Chimpanzee, Falls Tour), Sundowner (Chobe) Gulu (Bomah Hotel), Night Scene in Gulu.
The first day was eventful, through and through.
"The beauty of Uganda tells its own tale. Traveling is like falling in love. Its beautiful open country to every end of Uganda once you leave Kampala. It is as if Uganda is straight out of the bandbox," Joselyn Kayima, a royal from Buganda, told Masaabachronicle.
Lots of activity took place on the first day. The tour team had their fling on the Uganda wildlife Authority tour bus.
Before the first stopover in Luwero, enroute to Pakwach, there was a plethora of loud activity; with the NBS team filming the "Another round" show, to celebrated Comedian, Salvador cracking up the team with his impulsive banter.
The penultimate day or day two [Saturday 2nd March] will see the team touring Pakwach Bridge, the Solar Eclipse Monument, Pakuba Safari Lodge and the day will end with a boat cruise at the foot of Murchison falls.
Paraa Lodge and a stopover tour at Kafu.
Masaabachronicle will be covering the event and we shall bring you daily updates.

This vintage real photo postcard features silent film actress, Naomi Childers (1892-1964). Although she was born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, her parents were English. She grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and was educated in the Maryville convent. She began acting at age three. At age ten, she played the title roles in both "Red Riding Hood" and "Alice in Wonderland" at St. Louis's Odeon Theater. In 1912 she played roles in "The Great Name" and "Madame X". Childers had one Broadway appearance which occurred in "The Great Name" ( 1911 ). Childers"s film career began in 1913. For the most part, she was a character actress. She played roles in "The Turn of the Road (1915) and "The Writing on the Wall" (1916). She spent four years working with the Vitagraph company. Her most popular role was in "Womanhood, the Glory of the Nation" in which she played a modern Joan of Arc. She joined the Commonwealth Company in 1917. Although Childers played many dramatic roles, she preferred comedy. The IMDb lists 104 film credits for Miss Childers. She was quite beautiful. She was blonde and had deep blue eyes. She was voted the most beautiful woman in Japan, and many of her fans and critics found her physical appearance very similar to Sarah Bernhardt. She did a great deal of modeling work and her nickname was "the girl with the Grecian face". Childers was married twice. Her first husband was Harold Darling Shattuck, the head of a major candy company. She was later married to Luther A. Reed, a film writer and director. They were married nine years until their divorce in 1929. In her later years, Childers had significant financial problems. Upon learning of her struggles, Louis B. Mayer awarded her a lifetime contract with MGM. Miss Childers looks very glamorous in this postcard image. She is wearing a fur stole and a large hat. Her jewelry includes a necklace, bracelet and wrist watch. This postcard has an AZO stamp box indicating that it was published between 1904 and 1918. The postcard is part of a series (#218). It is in excellent condition (see scans).
This vintage (1920's) photograph features actress Adelaide Wilson. She is holding an umbrella behind her, and she either has an elaborate hair treatment, or she is wearing a complicated hat. She appears very young in this photograph and her hand on her hip gives her an air of sassiness. The hand on the hip pose also was a way for Wilson to display her large ring. Adelaide Wilson is quite pretty and engaging. Both the Playbill and IMDB websites credit her with six appearances on Broadway between the years 1907 and 1924. Her first Broadway appearance was in "When Knights Were Bold" (1907) and her final role was in "Great Music" (1924). A portrait of Miss Wilson can be found at the Billy Rose Theater Collection at the New York Public Library. A copy of the library's image can be seen below. Is the subject of the NYPL photograph the same person seen in the photograph above? I think so, but the library image shows the actress at an older age. The image seen above, measures approximately 8″ x 10″. The back of the photograph is stamped "Pantages Road Show". I can not confirm that Miss Wilson was a member of the Pantages Road Show cast.
The beautiful actress pictured on this real photo postcard is Nancy Carroll (1903-1965). Miss Carroll's parents were Irish and she was born and raised in New York City. She left school at age sixteen to work as a stenographer for a lace manufacturing company. She and her sister participated in an amateur talent show. They performed a dance routine. She must have caught the acting bug because after this performance, she began pursuing a stage and screen career. She began her acting career in Broadway musicals. The IDBD lists Nancy Carroll as appearing in five Broadway productions between 1923 and 1948. Her musical background made her a successful "talkies" actress. She performed in movie musical in the 1930's. Her movie debut was in "Ladies Must Dress" (1927). It seem 1928 was a busy year for Nancy Carroll. During that year she made eight films and one of them, "Easy Come, Easy Go" propelled her to stardom. Her costars over her career included George Bancroft, Cary Grant, and Randolph Scott. Carroll was under contract to Paramount Pictures and their relationship was stormy. She often refused roles the studio offered her and her reputation became damaged. She was seen as stubborn and uncooperative. Carroll was successful in light comedies, melodramas, and musicals and appreciated by critics and fans. In fact, during the early 1930's she received more fan mail than any other star. Despite all these positives, Paramount released her from her contract. In the mid 1930's she joined Columbia Pictures stable of performers but made four not very successful films and became a film actress no longer in demand. In 1938 she retired from films and returned to stage and starred in an early television series in 1950. She died of an aneurysm in 1965. This photo postcard bears the logo of Paramount Pictures which indicates that the photograph was taken during Carroll's stint with that studio. The postcard is part of a series (no.5395/3).
This is an unusual cabinet card portrait for two reasons. First, the pretty young woman who is the subject of this photograph is a New York city actress and certainly does not look the part. She is well dressed, but she is wearing conservative and "boring" attire. Overall, she looks more like the "woman next door" than a Broadway actress. She exudes a sweet and innocent disposition and she has a twinkle in her eyes. She doesn't give the appearance of a professional actress of that time. Where's the histrionic flamboyance? Where's the drama? Secondly, what's wrong with the photographer, Napoleon Sarony. The fantastic celebrity photographer was not showing his usual bombastic flair when he posed and shot this photograph. Unlike many of his theatrical portraits, there is no fancy clothing or abundance of props in this portrait. The young lady in this image is named Maude White. Her name is written on the reverse of the photograph. However, there is a caveat worth mentioning. I encountered a problem while I was researching Maude White. I discovered that there was also an actress named Maud White who was performing during the same era. This became an issue because, despite the inscription on the back of the cabinet card, I could not be sure if the woman photographed was Maude White or Maud White. I attempted to find other photographs of both actresses but met no success. Due to the fogginess of the identification issue, I decided to research both Maude and Maud. The Internet Broadway Data Base reveals that Maude White appeared in one Broadway production, "The Ruling Power" (1904). However, Maud White made three appearances on Broadway ("Lost-24 Hours"(1895), "A Stranger in a Strange Land" (1899), and "There and Back" (1903). First, I will present some information gleaned from researching Maude. The New York Times (NYT) (1888) published an article about a soon to open play entitled "A Parisian Romance". The star of the show was Mr Richard Mansfield and the supporting cast included Miss Maude White. The NYT (1888) later reviewed the play and made special mention of Maude. The review described her as "the danceuse (female ballet dancer) of the Opera" and reported that she played her role in a charming, pert, and clever manner. The NYT (1898) announced the soon to open comedy, "A Stranger in a Strange Land", and that it would include both Mansfield and Maude. An article in the NYT (1900) stated that Maude would appear in Stuart Robson's company that year. The NYT (1903) heralded the opening of a farcical comedy called "There and Back" and added that Maude would be a principal in the cast. An interesting story about Maude appeared in the NYT in 1905. The issue at hand was plagiarism. Maude had written a playlet called "Locked Out At Three AM" and she complained to the United States circuit court that the author of another play used some of her material. Maude had asked for an injunction and sued for damages. The NYT (1906) stated that Maude would be starring in the play "Nobody's Fault". Now lets focus on Maud, rather than Maude. In 1890, Maud was involved in some controversy and it was reported in the NYT. The title of the article was "Fritz Emmet Sobering Up". Emmet was an established comedian who had a relationship with "John Barleycorn" that had produced many newspaper articles focussing on his drunken behavior. The article stated that there was "a stormy sea" on the stage of the Hammerstein's Harlem Opera House. Emmet had been drinking heavily for two weeks and creating much drama. His professional and personal life had become badly damaged. In his previous engagement in Philadelphia, Emmet had reached the point that he could no longer perform. The theater had to close the show, and fortunately for the theater, Emmet compensated them for their losses. Next stop was Harlem, but Emmet kept drinking excessively until the dramatic incident occurred on stage. At a Saturday night performance he "murdered his play". While onstage he made many "Bacchanalian references" and exhibited other inappropriate words and actions.. Emmet's adult son decided to put an end to his father's out-of-control behavior. Just as the curtain went down on the last act of the play, Fritz's son went on the stage where his father and Maud were standing. The son informed Maud that she would have to leave the theater company. Maud objected in a "vigorous manner" spurring the young Mr. Emmet to have her forcibly removed from the theater. Worse yet, he had her confined to a little storm house over the stage door. Basically, she was temporarily kidnapped. Maud cried and screamed "various better words" and even though Fritz tried to intervene, she was imprisoned until the police arrived. The police were called by the younger Mr Emmet and they promptly took Fritz to Manhattan Hospital where he was confined overnight. Maud was released and put in a carriage to go wherever she wanted to go. The story got worse for Fritz. Directly after this incident, his wife of 27 years, sued him for divorce on grounds of infidelity. They ultimately divorced and the settlement was costly for Fritz. Maud continued to perform and the NYT (1891) announced that Maud would be appearing in a play directed by Charles Frohman called "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows". That same year, she appeared in a Frohman production entitled "The Solicitor". The NYT (1892) has an article reporting that Maud appeared in another Frohman production ("The Lost Paradise"). An 1895 NYT article states that maud was appearing with the Robert Hilliard Company in "Lost- 24 Hours" at the Hoyt Theater. The NYT (1897) has an article reporting her appearance in "The Wrong Mr Wright". Maud received a complimentary review from the NYT (1903) concerning her performance in the role of the "seductive Marie Antoinette" in the play "There and Back".
Beautiful stage actress Johan Wittman posed for this publicity photograph for her appearance in "The Perfect Fool", a play that appeared at the George M. Cohan Theatre" in New York City (Broadway). Ed Wynn provided the book, lyrics, and music. The revue played in 1921 and 1922 and ran for 275 performances. Miss Wittman looks elegant in her "to the floor" beaded dress. The previous owner of this photograph hypothesized that the dress was modeled after a peacock feather. I agree with his observation. Miss Wittman is holding a feather fan behind her head. She truly is representative of the flapper era. According to Broadwayworld.com, Miss Wittman's Broadway experience was confined to her role in "The Perfect Fool". The photographer of this lovely portrait was Ira Daniel Schwarz (1878-1946) who was based on West 48th Street in New York City. Schwarz was a Brooklynite and one of the first New York portrait artists to work in the movie industry. He began his career as a pictorialist art photographer and during World War I he went to work for Screencraft Pictures (located in New York) as Cinematographer and Stillman. He displayed a lot of talent as a Stillman and in 1919 became the chief portrait photographer for the company. The website "Broadway Photographs" reports that Schwarz was fascinated with shade and that his images were often recognized for their "plummy blacks". In 1924 he left Photocraft and established his own studio. In regard to his skill as a portrait photographer "Broadway Photographs" assert that Schwarz was considered "a photographic psychologist" by his colleagues because he was excellent at "capturing the mentality of his sitter". During World War II he closed his studio due to the silver shortage.

What business is AirBnB in?
Rather than defining themselves as part of the struggling-to-innovate hospitality industry, AirBnB smartly embraced the dynamic of digital economy that revolves around finding a new way to connect abundant supply with the underserved demand and to build a business around this connection. AirBnB's laser-sharp focus on making accommodation accessible to global travelers anywhere now allows it to explore monetizable adjacent lines of its business, without diluting its original business model. The latest initiative of this mold is to make homes of notable LA people open to anyone with enough of healthy dose of curiosity and affection for design. In partnership with Sonos and a few other LA-based brands, AirBnB created an immersive series of events named Hello LA that make the most interesting people, places and experiences in LA accessible and bookable through AirBnB. Spending a night at the home of James Franco, anyone? (Let's just hope the night doesn't pan out as in "This is the End" movie…) Those who are into this kind of thing can submit a love letter to LA through Facebook, or enter to win an overnight stay via pop-ups around the city of LA. As far as the market-building strategies go, this is a pretty smart one.

Information about the FCA Business Interruption test case
We recognise the adverse impact that Covid-19 is having on businesses, and that customers with Business Interruption insurance are keen to understand if their insurance policy will respond. This page contains information about the FCA Business Interruption test case.
What is the test case?
The High Court delivered its judgment in September and, following this, parties to the case including insurers and the FCA appealed some of the rulings. This appeal went straight to the Supreme Court which heard the case in late 2020.

Gun rights folk hero to get out of prison
By Lynne Tuohy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Feb 3, 2011 at 12:18 AM
A farmer who became a folk hero to gun rights activists, after he was imprisoned for brandishing a handgun at a trespasser on his property, won early release Wednesday.
The New Hampshire Executive Council voted unanimously to free Ward Bird, just two months into his three-year sentence.
His wife, Ginny, said he would come home to �lots of tears, lots of hugs and a big celebration.�
Bird, 49, of Moultonborough, had sought a full pardon to clear his name. The council voted in his favor, but Gov. John Lynch vetoed the pardon, saying the judicial system had given Bird�s case a thorough review and he would not undermine that.
The council then immediately voted to commute his sentence, and Lynch let that vote stand.
�I, like the (sentencing) judge, have concerns the punishment does not fit the crime,� Lynch said.
Bird�s felony conviction for criminal threatening with a firearm remains on his record. He can no longer possess guns. Attorney General Michael Delaney said a full pardon would have restored Bird�s right to own and carry guns.
Ginny Bird said that during a late afternoon telephone conversation with her husband, he proclaimed that he�s not a prisoner anymore.
She said that while he�s disappointed he didn�t get a full pardon, he told her that could be dealt with another day by applying to the court to have the conviction annulled.
Carroll County corrections officials said Bird will be released from their jail as soon as they have the official paperwork in hand.
Bird�s case has become a cause celebre since he was sent to prison Nov. 17, much to the discomfort of the farmer and Scout leader whose 18-year-old daughter saw him wearing a suit for the first time at Tuesday�s hearing.
�I don�t need people using me as a cause,� Bird told the Associated Press recently. �I just want to be home with my family.�
Family members and friends formed the www.freewardbird.org movement and website and his saga has been tweeted and updated on Facebook.
The �freewardbird� website now bears the headline, �Ward Bird is a FREE MAN.�
Bird was convicted of criminal threatening with a firearm after the March 2006 encounter with Christine Harris at his remote home on a Moultonborough hilltop.
The crime carries a minimum, mandatory three-year prison sentence because a weapon was involved.
He did not testify at his trial in 2008. The first time he testified under oath about the incident was at Tuesday�s hearing.
�As God is my witness and on the honor of my family and friends in this room today, I did not point or wave a firearm at Christine Harris,� Bird said.
Harris didn�t attend the council hearing. Victim advocate Melissa Smith told the council Harris feels �terrorized� by the number of people posting negative comments about her on the Internet.
Harris testified at trial that Bird jumped off the porch and charged her car.
Councilor David Wheeler said the council was presented with �incontrovertible evidence� he did not.
At the time of the incident, Bird was recovering from abdominal surgery barely two weeks earlier.
His doctor said he had more than 250 internal sutures and 32 staples holding his skin together. Bird said he was in pain.
�At that point, I was not comfortable with any strangers being around,� Bird said. �The threat was more emotional than anything.�
Bird said he had a .45-caliber handgun in the back waistband of his pants during the encounter with Harris, but he insisted he removed it only to take out the ammunition clip before re-entering his house.
He said he kept the gun pointed to the ground while doing so.

To say I have been busy this month would be a big understatement! But I never want to be too busy to write letters to my Compassion kids. And since I sent a pretty quick note to each of them last month, I wanted to take the time to go back through some of their older letters and answer some of their questions I may have overlooked in the last couple of months. Plus, I wanted to send them each a couple of extras with their letter.
First off, I pulled out all of my binders which contain all of the letters I have received from my kids. In these binders, I like to keep a copy of the letters I mail out also. This way, I can remember what I wrote to each one of them, and I make notes of the extras I mail with their letters.
One of the extras I am mailing this month are these abstract coloring pages I found on Pinterest. I colored one for each of my kids (that took a bit of time!), and I am mailing them a copy to color for themselves. I know I love when they take the time to draw pictures for me, so I thought they might appreciate something colorful from me in their letter.
I also included these stickers I found at the dollar store recently. For each child, I put all of their items together, made sure their name and sponsor number, as well as my name and sponsor number, were on each item, then I just stapled everything together for each child. All of the letters were put into a 9x12-inch envelope and mailed off to Compassion.
As far as the content of each letter, I know I usually share that with you each month. But this month, each letter was so different. So I am not going to share a letter this month. But I am going to encourage you to write to your sponsored child. Your words matter to them, and they appreciate the time you take out of your day to jot down those words of encouragement.

Stamp Duty abolished for first-time shared ownership buyers
AuthorLaura Kurowski
In yesterday's Budget, the Chancellor announced that Stamp Duty Land Tax relief will be extended to first time buyers purchasing shared ownership homes valued up to £500,000.
Buyers will be exempt from this tax, which has been implemented retrospectively for shared-ownership buyers since the first-time buyer exemption was introduced in November 2017. The change takes effect immediately.
Philip Hammond also announced that, in January 2019, the Government will publish a consultation on a Stamp Duty surcharge of 1% for non-residents buying a residential property in England and Northern Ireland.
For more information about the changes to Stamp Duty, please contact one of our residential conveyancing team in Halifax, Huddersfield or Brighouse.

A Bakewell Media Publication
Home News California's Fiery Former Congressman Ron Dellums Dies at 82
AG Harris launches criminal investigation into Sheriff's Department for Mitrice Richardson case
Written by Staff and Wire Report
Staff and Wire Report
Last week, California Attorney General Kamala Harris launched a criminal investigation into the sheriff's department for the death of Mitrice Richardson, whose body was found 11 months after being released from an L.A. County jail in 2010. The decision came three months after Harris initially decided no such investigation was necessary. Representatives from the AG's office declined to give a reason for the change.
"We cannot comment further on the specifics of this review, as it is ongoing," a spokesperson told the Daily News via an emailed response to their inquiry.
Richardson disappeared in 2009, after L.A. County Sheriffs released her from custody in the wee hours of the morning on September 17. She had been dining at a restaurant in Malibu when staff there noticed she was acting erratically. Law enforcement was called after she refused to pay her bill.
She was arrested on "suspicion of not paying for the meal" and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, according to police reports at the time.
At the time of her detainment, her belongings including her phone, purse and money were inside of her car, which had been towed. The sheriffs detained her for a number of hours but eventually determined she was okay to be released. However, her mother, who had been contacted at the time, told the sheriffs that Richardson was suffering from a severe bipolar episode and asked if they could detain her until she was able to pick her up from the jail.
They initially agreed. However, the sheriffs later reported that Richardson refused and they had to let her go because she was an adult. She was released without money, identification or a cell phone.
The 24-year-old's remains were found August 10, 2010 near Malibu Canyon. Detectives at the scene reportedly had removed the mummified body before forensics experts could perform an examination, against the coroner's orders. Then L.A. County Sheriff, Lee Baca defended his team, saying that he believed they handled the case within the parameters of standard procedure. Both her parents filed wrongful death lawsuits against the department in 2011 and were awarded $450,000 each.
Recently, Baca and the department came under fire for engaging in various corrupt practices. Baca pleaded guilty to probing corruption and civil rights abuses. Department officials said they are fully cooperating with the investigation.

Those of you older to remember the early games of home consoles might remember the Mutant League series for Sega Genesis. While Mutant league Hockey was probably the more well known game, Especially to those of us in the "Outside US" market, Mutant League Football was the first game of the series. Throwing you in command of teams of aliens, skeletons, and ogres duking it out on the football field. The players were armed, the fields were full of traps, and the rules were only loosely followed. It was glorious. Mutant Football League aims to take us back.
Mutant Football League is the result of a Kickstarter campaign, that I sadly didn't hear about at the time or I probably would have donated. It is meant to be a spiritual successor to the old mutant league franchise, as EA holds the rights to the original (Hisss silly EA we hates them -Ed).
The original Kisckstarter was tried in 2013 by Michael Mendheim, who happens to have been the lead designer on the original franchise. It failed to get much support but Michael carried on with the project, and ran a second more successful Kickstarter in 2017. The game released to PC in October 2017, with a console port coming soon.
Due to the lack of initial funding Mutant Football League is much lighter on features than initially intended. But as it grows in popularity, and sales, the dev team are giving it some polish. The developers have also confirmed if enough support is shown, more features will be added down the line.
Although a bit pricey for a light indie game, it is a must have for any fan of the original franchise. And in time it will probably grow into a much richer and fuller experience if it does well. Check it out on Steam, or it's website. Hopefully we'll see a hockey game soon.

Chris & Olin Bateman of Cork are Sailors of the Month (Junior) for September

Chris Bateman of Cork has been cutting a swathe through the dinghy sailing scene in Ireland at both junior and open level in a number of classes for some time now, and as he turned 18 on September 23rd, his 2019 national title in the RS 200s provided a final opportunity to put his stamp on the All-Ireland Junior Championship. But as it was to be raced in the relatively small TR 3.6s in Schull, his size meant that - to be competitive – he had to find a pint-sized crew, and the hand of destiny fell on his youngest brother, 9-year-old Olin.
The pair of them raced a truly masterful championship. But it's not easy being the little guy crewing for the hyper-talented big guy, so we reckon that September's Junior Sailor of the Month award should be shared between Chris and Olin.

Demi Lovato's performance of "Skyscraper" at March for Our Lives will send actual chills through your body
Mary Kate McGrath
Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for March For Our Lives
On Saturday, March 24th, millions of people across the globe took the streets for the March For Our Lives. The protest – which is primarily based in Washington D.C. but happening in cities around the globe — is meant to urge politicians to act on gun control and encourage young people to vote. A few musical performers were called upon to perform in D.C., and Demi Lovato's performance at the March for Our Lives will send literal chills through your body. The singer chose to perform "Skyscraper," and the song's emotional lyrics felt particularly poignant.
Lovato was one of several stars chosen to sing at the March, including Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus. Last week, Marjory Stoneman Douglas survivor David Hogg explained on CNN why these women were chosen to perform. "We're gonna have four major independent women that are standing with us and walking beside us, and those are Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato," he said in an appearance on the news channel. "They're going to be standing there with us and marching with us and they're some of the few people that are really coming out and stepping up with us."
Ariana Grande sang "Be Alright", Miley Cyrus brought new meaning to "The Climb," and Hudson gave an equally moving performance of "The Times They Are Changing." The lyrics to Lovato's song say: "Go on and try to tear me down / I will be rising from the ground / Like a skyscraper," and in front of the crowd of survivors and protestors, it felt especially emotional.
In addition to performing, Lovato recently discussed why she is an outspoken advocate for gun-control for Billboard Magazine. "There are certain pop stars who don't speak out politically, and they have more fans," she told the publication. "But I'd rather speak up for the things I believe in than just be dismissive of the issues going on in our country." Lovato is just one of these singers who use their platform to elevate the voices of the young people pushing for serious change, and her passionate performance was super meaningful.
