Linford-Holton family photo-sleuthing
Posted on March 11, 2017 by Su	| 2 Comments
Angela Manders has sent me some photos of her Moss / Holton family, including this group. She says lady in the centre is Elizabeth Linford née Holton, (1839-1917). The youngest lady seated at the far left of the photo is her youngest daughter Elizabeth (1884-1964) whose husband William Ridgway is standing behind her. Another daughter, Caroline (born in 1876), is seated at the far right of the photo. She married Joseph Moss in 1901 in Peckham where they continued to live – again, he is standing behind his wife.
Angela wonders if anyone can help identify the other people in the photo and help her to date it. Elizabeth had given birth to ten children, of whom seven were lived to adulthood:
Joseph ?Inns (1857-58) – died age 1
William George (1862-79) – died age 17
Eliza Ann (1867-1871) – died age 4
Emily Maria (1870-1942) m. Alfred Jesse Bennett – age 39 in 1909, living with husband & 5 children in Buckingham
James Thomas (1872-1934) m. Ada Tasker – age 37 in 1909, living in Rugby, Warwickshire with wife and children – the youngest of whom was only born in the first quarter of 1909, so perhaps unlikely to be in Tingewick in April 1909
Joseph (1874-1937) m. Minnie Lucy Collier Steeden (no children) – age 35 in 1909, perhaps living separately from wife who – by 1911 – was in Nottinghamshire
Daniel (1875-1918) m. Clara Ethel Smith – age 34 in 1909, living in Leicestershire with his wife and 3 children: the youngest was 1 year old in 1909
Caroline (1876-1960) m. Joseph Moss – age 32 in 1909, living in London with her husband and 8-year-old son
Esther (1878-1956) m. James Linford – age 31 in 1909, living with her husband and three children in Maids Moreton [in spite of the same surname I've not found a family connection between them … yet!]
Elizabeth (1884-1964) m. William Ridgeway – age 25 when she married in April 1909, still living with her mother in Tingewick in 1911
We know that daughter Elizabeth jnr. (identified by Angela as sitting at the far left of the picture) married William Ridgway five days after Elizabeth snr's birthday, on 19th April 1909, so – since William is standing behind Elizabeth in the same way that Caroline's husband stands behind her – I think this photo is unlikely to have been taken more than a year or two before that. Elizabeth jnr. would have been 25 in 1909: again, her appearance agrees more or less with that date. I then wondered if it might be a gathering of the family to celebrate Elizabeth's 70th birthday on 14th April 1909, with a second celebration (of Elizabeth jnr's marriage) to come a few days later.
Three of Elizabeth's surviving daughters still lived in the Buckingham area (Caroline – sitting at the right of the photo – was living in London). The lady in the white blouse beside Caroline looks a bit older and might be Emily, aged 39: but where is Esther (aged 31)? Perhaps she is the smiling lady behind the man (presumably her husband, James Linford) seated with the child. The man in the centre, standing behind Elizabeth, could be Elizabeth's middle son Joseph, aged 35, whose marriage to Minnie Steeden might already have failed – by 1911 she was living in Nottingham; later she worked in Canada and only returned to England a few weeks before she died at the end of 1934.
The couple at the far left of the photo might be youngest son Daniel (age 34) and his wife Clara who would have travelled here from Leicestershire. It's perhaps less likely that it would be Elizabeth's oldest son James, since his wife – Ada née Tasker – had given birth in the first part of 1909 so they would probably have been unable to come all the way from Rugby. But that leaves me unable to guess who the final lady at the far right of the picture might be. Perhaps, then, James and his wife did make the journey and she, not surprisingly, has been given a chair with James standing beside her. The last unidentified lady might then be Emily, unaccompanied by her husband
Does anyone have any photos of any of the people mentioned to help prove or disprove my theory?

Murder? or accidental death?
Posted on January 29, 2017 by Su	| 2 Comments
[The two reports below are from the same newspaper, printed two weeks apart, and presumably refer to two different inquests into the same mishap. The second report also refers to a report one week earlier, which has not (yet) been electronically archived]
OXFORD, Saturday, Nov. 30
Jackson's Oxford Journal (Oxford, England), Saturday, November 30, 1822; Issue 3631
Thursday last an inquest was held, at the pub-
lic house at Tingewick, Bucks, before Mr. Burn-
ham, Coroner for that county, on view of the
body of — Wells, keeper of the Old Angel public
house at Buckingham, who was found murdered
on the road, near the turnpike at Tingewick.
From the best information we can collect, we
learn that the deceased, with another man named
Brewerton, were returning, in a gig, from a
meeting held in Banbury for letting turnpike
tolls, on Monday last, and had quarrelled on
their road home; Brewerton had been heard to
say, "he would do for him." When the de-
ceased was found, it was at first supposed his
death was occasioned by falling out of the gig;
but on a closer inspection of the wounds, there
was no doubt of his having been brutally mur-
dered. He had several severe blows about the
head and face, and one blow across his hand,
which it is probable was received when endea-
vouring to save them from his head. After a
very long investigation, the Jury returned a ver-
dict of Wilful Murder, against some person or
persons unknown.

Upon Mr. W. Wells, of Buckingham
Held on Wednesday, Nov. 27, before Mr Burnham,
one of the coroners for that county
[THE CIRCUMSTANCE WAS GIVEN LAST WEEK]
Charles Cross, of Tingewick, shoemaker, deposed,
that on his road home from Buckingham last Monday
evening, the 25th of November, in company with his
apprentice, John Durrant, he met a horse and gig,
about half-past nine o'clock, without any person in it.
— that on approaching nearer Tingewick, they found
the body of a man lying by the road side — it was
quite cold — and a quantity of blood was under the
head and near it. Deponent immediately went to the
toll-gate (about 200 yards further on) to get as-
sistance, and on enquiring there whether a horse and
gig had lately passed through, the collector, Thomas
Brewerton, replied there had about half an hour ago;
and that the person who was with it was Wm. Wells,
of Buckingham. Whilst deponent was in coversa-
tion with the collector, in consequence of the ap-
prentice having gone into the village and given the
alarm, Benjamin Brewerton ran past the collector
and the deponent, as if alarmed, and on being called
to by name by the housekeeper at the toll-gate (Su-
sannah Stokes) he did not answer, but continued
running. Deponent followed, and on arriving again
at the place where the body lay, saw Benjamin Brew-
erton, who had arrived there about half a minute
before deponent, examining the head of the deceased;
and he (Brewerton) said he thought it was broken,
and expressed much surprise at finding Wells dead,
he having been to Banbury with him that day. De-
ponent waited till other persons came up, and then
left the place.
John Durrant, apprentice to the last witness, cor-
roborated his master's testimony as to seeing the
empty gig and the body. On his master's stopping
at the toll-gate, the witness ran on to Tingewick and
gave the alarm of the deceased having been found.
Went to several houses for that purpose, and amongst
others to that of Benjamin Brewerton, who was sit-
ting with his wife by the fire side. Benjamin Brew-
erton immediately ran out of his house towards the
toll-gate.
The Rev. Mr. Risley, of Tingewick, deposed that
on Monday evening the 25th of November, on his
return home from Buckingham in his gig with his
servant Richard Steeden, he met a horse and gig,
having no person in it, going towards Buckingham;
this was between nine and ten o'clock. Deponent
called to a waggoner who was passing at the time,
and desired him to take charge of the empty gig and
bring it back towards Tingewick. On deponent's
road home, when about 200 yards on the Buckingham
side of the Tingewick toll-gate, observed three or
four persons standing by the side of the road, and,
on enquiring of the cause, learnt that William Wells
had been found dead. Deponent to ascertain the truth
got out of his gig and put his hand to the face
of the deceased and found it cold, and that he was
quite dead. Benjamin Brewerton was one of the
persons standing near the body, who said to depo-
nent that he had been to Banbury with the deceased,
and that upon their return they had called at
the Red Lion, and had quarrelled there — that the de-
ceased had used him very ill; in some further con-
versation with Brewerton on their way home, Brew-
erton expressed himself as being an innocent and an
upright man, and that he knew nothing of how the
deceased came by his death. Brewerton further
added, that the deceased was not intoxicated at the
time he had parted company with him at the Red
William Stowe, of Buckingham, surgeon, deposed
that he had been called on to go to Tingewick about half-
past ten on the night of Monday the 25th ult. to see
a person who had been found lying on the road within
200 yards of Tingewick turnpike. On reaching the
spot, he found the body of William Wells, who ap-
peared to have received several wounds about the
head, and was quite dead. After noticing the posi-
tion of the body and limbs, and making such other
examinations as might tend to elucidate the cause of
the death, he directed that the body should be taken
to the nearest public-house for the purpose of inquest.
On farther examination in the presence of the Jury
this day, both ears were found severely lacerated, a
wound about two inches long on the right cheek, a
smaller one on the chin, the upper lip swollen, and a
front tooth deficient, an extensive wound on the back
of the right hand, and fluid having a spirituous smell,
was trickling from the left ear. Under the direction
of the coroner, he opened the head and removed the
brain, when a fracture was discovered extending across
the basis of the skull from ear to ear, which might
have been occasioned by falling on the top of the
head, or by considerable force applied overy one ear
while the opposite ear was on the ground — the left
ear had gravel in it, as if the injury had been sus-
tained while the head was in that position. Depo-
nent, on his first seeing the deceased, searched his
pockets and took from them 3l. 1s. 9d which, his wife
on receiving said, was within a shilliing or two of
what he had with him when he left home in the morning.
Joseph Terry, of Tingewick, labourer, deposed
that soon after eight o'clock on Monday evening last,
he heard the voice of Benjamin, exclaiming "Damn
his eyes, he shall have it." Deponent lives next door
but one to Brewerton, and he (deponent) saw him
from his window at the time. Brewerton was wran-
gling afterwards with his wife or some person in the
house, and pulled his door to on coming out of it;
he returned again immediately, and on opening it said
to the persons inside the house, "D–n you, follow
me if you dare." Brewerton then went towards
Tingewick turnpike-gate, passing deponent's house,
and muttering to himself a the time, "D–n his
eyes, he shall have it." Deponent thought at the
time Brewerton had been quarrelling with Edmund
Side, who was in Brewerton's house.
Edmund Side, of Tingewick, labourer, deposed
that he was at the house of Benjamin Brewerton from
six till about nine o'clock on Monday evening the
25th of November. That Brewerton was absent at
the time he first went, but came in a quarter before
eight. He (Brewerton) appeared rather fresh — did
not remain above five minutes. That he then went
down to the turnpike, and was gone a quarter of an
hour, having been fetched home by his wife. That
he then remained ten minutes, during which time he
said he had had a few words with Wells, and behaved
very abusively towards his wife, saying he would go
out again and desiring her not to follow him. That
no words whatever passed between deponent
and Brewerton, nor did they even speak to each other —
That upon the request of Benjamin Brewerton's wife,
deponent went to call John Brewerton to fetch Benj.
who did so, and brought Benjamin home. That Ben-
jamin remained in the house till deponent and his
wife left it, which was about half-past nine. — This
witness, on his re-examination said, that Brewerton
had said he would "wallop" Wells. And the evi-
dence generally came from him very reluctantly.
Charlotte Side, wife to the last witness, deposed
as to Benjamin Brewerton coming to his house, she
being there with her husband; that they left it to-
gether about nine o'clock; that, soon after they got
home, her husband went to the door and said "here
is the gig and Wells in it; he seems very fuddled, for
he sways about." That about ten minutes after-
wards deponent went to Benjamin Brewerton's house to
ask his wife to have some camomile tea, and saw
Benjamin Brewerton, and John Brewerton, drinking
beer together.
Mary Mansfield, the wife of Daniel Mansfield,
of the parish of Tingewick, victualler, deposed that
between the hours of 6 and 7 in the evening of Mon-
day, November 25, W. Wells and Benj. Brewerton got
out of a gig at deponent's door; that they went into
the tap room together, and drank two pints of ale
with two half-quarterns of gin in it; they appeared
friendly towards each other at first, but afterwards
words arose between them about some money, which
the deponent cannot exactly speak to. Brewerton
appeared violent; threatened to knock Well's teeth
down his throat; but on deponent's interfering they
appeared good friends again, and got into the gig and
went away together. A few minutes afterwards
they came back to the door again and into the house;
Wells said on entering, "I don't know what to make
of this fellow; he wants to fall out with me on the
road," alluding to Brewerton, who said, "it was
only my fun." Wells soon afterwards went to the
door, and got into the gig and drove off by himself,
leaving Brewerton in the house, who followed on foot
almost immediately. — Mansfield keeps the Red Lion,
at Finmere, but the house is in Tingewick parish.
Jas. Holton, butcher, of Tingewick, deposed that on
Monday evening the 25th ult. about 8 o'clock, Wm.
Wells, of Buckingham, called at deponent's house,
in Tingewick, and told him that he (Wells) had come
from Banbury with Benjamin Brewerton, that even-
ing; that they had had words on the road, and again at
the Red Lion, where Brewerton at last promised to
drop it and shake hands; that Brewerton, when in
the gig again, used abusive language, and threatened
to fight Wells, who thereupon turned about to go to
the Red Lion again, where they agreed to settle the
dispute; but that Wells ordered the horse to be
ready, that he might drive away alone, for that Brew-
erton had threatened to knock his (Wells') teeth down
his throat. Wells left deponent's house about
twenty minutes past eight, but called again in the
gig on his way home, a little before nine o'clock;
nothing particular was said then; Wells appeared
a little fresh, but talked with deponent rationally,
and appeared perfectly capable of going home alone.
Susannah Stokes, housekeeper to Thos. Brewerton,
keeper of the Tingewick toll gate, deposed that she
did not leave her master's house at all on Monday
evening the 25th of Nov. That Benjamin Brewerton
came there about half past eight; that he appeared
fresh, and had a few words with his father, and men-
tioned having had some with Wells. That deponent
sent Sarah Bedford to fetch Benj. Brewerton's wife,
which she did; that Benj. Brewerton left the house
with his wife, but returned soon afterwards alone;
that he remained there about ten minutes, and quar-
relled with deponent about family affairs; that Ben-
jamin afterwards left the house in company with his
brother John, and did not return that evening. That
a gig, in which was William Wells, went through the
gate soon after nine o'clock. Benjamin and John
Brewerton had left the house some time.
John Brewerton, of Tingewick, labourer, deposed,
that between 8 and 9 o'clock, last Monday evening,
Edmund Side came to his (deponent's) house, to re-
quest him to fetch his brother Benjamin away from
his father's at the turnpike gate, as he was making
a disturbance there. That deponent went for his
brother immediately, and took him from his father's
to his (Benjamin's) own house; that he remained with
him drinking beer till past ten o'clock, and
never left him from the time he first went to the toll
house to that hour.
The evidence closed with this witness, and the
Jury, after taking another view of the body, and of
the gig from which the deceased is supposed to have
fallen, returned the their verdict, under the
direction of the Coroner, of Accidental Death.

W.C. Kingham, photographer
Posted on December 11, 2015 by Su	| 6 Comments
Does anyone have any photographs taken by William Charles Kingham of Tingewick? If so, I'd love to hear about them.
His father, Joseph Kingham was born around 1855 in North Marston, a dozen or so miles south-east of Tingewick in Buckinghamshire. He married in 1877 and had three sons by 1884. He was a coachman in Quainton and Maids Moreton; then, in 1898, he moved to Tingewick to take on the tenancy of the Royal Oak.
That same year, William Charles Kingham – his oldest son – married Tingewick girl Fanny Amelia Steeden. He described himself as a 'cycle agent' in the marriage register, but at the census two and a half years later he is a 'photographer and cycle dealer'.
Frank Floyd (1871-1952) at Wood Farm in his Bucks Yeomanry uniform
?Richard Coates (1858-1929) and family
Charles Smith (b. 1885)
I have one of his photographs- of Frank Floyd, at Wood Farm, looking splendid in his Bucks Yeomanry uniform. Then, a few weeks ago, I had an email from Vic in Hampshire, asking for help identifying the people in a family group. The smart young man with the bicycle in front of the same cottage is his grandfather, Charles Smith (b. 1885). Could the others be relatives?
His grandfather's grandfather was Tingewick labourer Edward Smith (1818-1853) who died in his mid-thirties, leaving his widow with six children to raise. Vic is descended from the youngest, George (b. 1848), who moved to London. The older siblings dispersed to Oxfordshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire, leaving just their oldest sister Ann (183-1911) 1in the village. Her daughter Harriet (b. 1856 and Vic's grandfather's oldest cousin) married Richard James Coates (1858-1929) who plied a variety of trades in the village – painter and glazier, plumber, even grocer – before settling – by the turn of the century – as a 'house decorator'. On the 1901 census, he and his six children are a near-perfect match for the group in the photograph above which probably dates from around the same time.
Update September 2019:
?Reginald Thomas Tarrant (1900-1949)
As can be seen in the comments below, another of W.C. Kingham's photos was found in the attic of Tarrant House in Napton in Warwickshire and is now in the nearby in Marton Museum of Country Bygones, along with a similar pram to the one in the photograph.
Press photo of museum founder George Tims with the pram in the 1970s
The museum looks well worth a visit – during 2019 it was open on Sunday afternoons until mid September, but it can be opened at any other time by appointment (contact details on their website). Admission is free but donations welcome!
Returning to William Kingham: the photography business seems to have been a sideline to his main bicycle sales and repairs – it doesn't appear in the local Kelly's Directories where he is listed as a cycle agent and cycle repairer. At some point after 1907 he moved to Stantonbury, now part of Milton Keynes, with his wife and two children. In 1911 he is recorded there as an electrician's labourer in the railway carriage works. A year later, Fanny died; he remarried in 1915; and he died in Northampton General Hospital in 1948 without – as far as I know – continuing his career as a photographer. Or does anyone else know differently?

The funeral of Shugborough Newitt Steeden, 15th November 1918
Posted on August 18, 2015 by Su	| Leave a comment
[sent to me by June Underwood of the Buckinghamshire Remembers website. Although Shugborough Newitt Steeden's name appears on both the Tingewick parish war memorials, he is not recorded on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site because he died of influenza, not of his wounds]
From the Buckingham Advertiser and North Bucks Free Press, Saturday November 30, 1918
The second part of the cutting reads:
"… – A particularly sad scene was wit-
nessed in the village on the 15th inst., in the
presence of the Washington car passing through
the Main Street carrying two coffins containing
the mortal remains of Shugborough Newitt
Steeden, aged 29, and Elsie Louisa, his wife, aged
30, both having passed away the same night,
leaving two little children – a girl, 6 years old,
and a boy, aged 4. Deceased was a grandson of
the late John Steeden, of Tingewick, and his
wife a daughter of Ebenezer Newman Pollard.
He joined Kitchener's Army in the early days of
the war, was drafted into the Oxford and Bucks
L.I., and sent to France, where after a few
months he was severely wounded, his life being
despaired of for some time. Treated in Glasgow
Hospital with every care, after a year or so he
was discharged about 12 months since, the marks
most visible of his wounds being a stiff knee and
the loss of two fingers. He was a gardener in the
employ of Lady Lawrence at Chetwode Manor
previous to the war, and only a week before his
death he removed from Tingewick to The Gables,
near Winslow, to act in the same capacity with
Lady Addington, the floral wreath sent by the
latter being one of the many floral tributes to
the memory of two lives so swiftly removed from
us. Of a cheerful and obliging nature, deceased
had many friends. Symbolical of a union ex-
pressed in life, one grave contains both husband
and wife. The Rev. P.E. Rayner (Rector) offi-
ciated

British Army Records 1914-1920
Posted on September 1, 2014 by Su	| Leave a comment
Some Tingewick men who appear in the British Army records 1914-1920
[last update: 1st Sept 2014]
Albert John Aris, 'Canteen Steward', born 1880, son of John and Maria (Greaves): Royal Garrison Artillery: signed up 13 Oct 1914: discharged (having been promoted several times, finally to rank of Sgt) 26 June 1919. He must have been an impressive sight – relatively tall at 5 ft 10½ and weighing 182 lbs when he enlisted, he had a 42 in chest and a number of tattoos – "flags on inside of left arm, & figure of General Butler on forearm & faith home & charity, also figures on right arm, Lord Kitchener &c". He appears to have joined the army for 6 years in 1898, which he extended for a further 6 years in August 1905 while serving as a gunner in Gibraltar. He also served in Sierra Leone, South Africa and Malta, finally discharged from the regular army in 1913, after nearly 16 years' service, during which he had been promoted to Bombardier but had reverted to Gunner at his own request!
Thomas George Barnes, labourer, born 1880, son of Joseph and Mary Ann: enlisted 10 Nov 1914 but two weeks later: "Discharged – not being likely to become an efficient soldier under para 392(111)(c) Kings Regulations" – signed by the colonel commanding the 8th Battalion Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry. He appeared before a medical board but there is no record of any physical disability.
William Ambrose Cross Neale, shoemaker, born 1879, son of Elizabeth Neale enlisted 30th June 1915 in the Army Services Corps. His army record shows his 'physical development' was 'poor' and he wore glasses. He sailed to France aboard SS 'Lydia' in July 1915 and joined 16 Labour Coy at Rouen: he was absent from roll call in November and lost 3 days' pay. He was invalided to England (T.S. 'Panama') on 12 March 1916 and admitted to Manchester Western Hospital suffering from 'Debility' caused by diarrhoea and vomiting, and with sleep problems. Six weeks later he was discharged from hospital with his weight regained and sleep improved but on 21st June 1916 he received a "Discharge being no longer physically fit for work" and was awarded a pension of 4/8d per week. His medical notes also show that he had a slight heart murmur.
George Alfred Richardson, clerk, born 1890, son of James and Louisa was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. His citation reads:
"265046 CSM G.A. Richardson MM 1/1st Bn. TF (Tingewick) (ITALY)
"For conspicuous gallantry and devotion
to duty during the attack north of
Asiago on 1st November 1918, when in
face of heavy machine-gun, rifle and
shell fire he did magnificent work in
reorganising the men on the various
objectives and leading them forward.
By his cheerfulness and coolness he set
a very fine example to all about him.
(25.2.20)"
Reginald George Benjamin Steeden, farmer, born 1884, son of James and Jane (nee Paxton) enlisted at Bletchley Recruiting Office on 14 December 1915 and was appointed to the 96th Territorial Reserve Battalion – perhaps because of his occupation. However, he appears to have seen at least one spell in the British Expeditionary Force at the end of September 1917.
James Arthur Stuchfield, railway porter born 1891, son of George and Elizabeth (Lucas) joined the Grenadier Guards 31st August 1908 and was discharged into the Reserves after three years service. He was mobilised as part of the Expeditionary Forces on 5th August 1914 – the day after war was declared. He was wounded in the leg in September 1916 and returned to the UK where he remained until he was again transferred to the reserves in June 1918.
Abel Townsend, platelayer with the L & N W railway, was a relative newcomer to the village. He was born in Mixbury but his family had moved to Finmere before the 1891 census, and he had presumably set up home in Tingewick when he married. His daughter Beatrice had been baptised at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in October 1906. He was attested in December 1915 but was medically classified "B1" and kept 'on reserve' until March 1917, when he was finally posted to Egypt with the Railway Company, Royal Engineers, as a platelayer / sapper. He was transferred out in April 1919 with "Lumbago & Sciatica, following Dysentery (attributed)" – 40% disablement and awarded a pension – initially – of 11/- per week. He appears to have contracted Amoebic Dysentery in Palestine in October 1918, when he was admitted to hospital with diarrhoea and vomiting.
The items in his possession on admission to hospital in Cairo were inventoried as: 1 pair drawers, 1 pair gaiters, 1 pair putties, 2 flannel shire, 3 pairs socks, 1 towel, 1 pair trousers, a fork, a holdall, a clasp knife and a table knife and a spoon, a haversack, boots with laces, braces, shaving and tooth brush, cap with badge, hair comb, tropical helmet, and razor in a case. His medical notes are also quite comprehensive – perhaps a little too graphic, considering his ailment, but fascinating as a window into that aspect of life in the Great War. They even include his temperature chart!
William Ball, born 1881, enlisted in the Northamptonshire Regiment in 1903 and served in South Africa. In 1906 he married Martha Jane Stuchbury at Hillesden: she lived in Tingewick, and her daughters (Celia May and Ethel) were born there in 1903 and 1908. William served in France in 1914 and 1915: he was severely wounded / gassed on 25th September 1915 and was discharged 30 March 1916.

To commemorate the centenary of the start of WW1 members of Tingewick Historical Society are researching Tingewick's WW1 soldiers who are named on our village war memorials. We would love to hear from people descended from those families who have photographs or stories to share with us.

WEDDING. — The marriage of Mr. John Tompkins, of Spring Cottage, Buckingham, with Mrs. F. Steeden, of Church View, Tingewick, was solemnised at the the Parish Church, on Wednesday, January 12th, the Rev. W.J.B. Hancock (curate) officiating. The bride, who was attired in navy blue, with bonnet to match, was given away by Mr. Atkins, of London. Her bridesmaids were Miss Steeden (daughter), and Miss Thompson (niece), and they wore dresses of light grey trimmed with red silk, with hats to match. Mr. Thomas Bonner, of Buckingham, accompanied the bridegroom as best man. The guests included Miss Richardson, Mrs. Atkins, Mrs. Bonner, and Miss Alcock. Merry peals were rung on the bells during the day, and also at Buckingham, where the bridegroom was a ringer for over half a century.
SOIREE. — An invitation soiree was again arranged this year, on the same lines as that held last year. Invitations were sent out by the Committee to a large number of persons in the village and neighbourhood, and about 90 responded to the invite, and put in an appearance at the Board Schools, on Friday evening, January 7th, the charge being 1/6 gents, and 1/- ladies. The Schools had been cosily arranged by the following Committee:– Mrs Richmond, Mrs. Hadland, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Lever, Miss Gomme, Miss Miller, Miss Thompson, Mr. Richmond (Chairman), Mr. Barnes, Mr. Woodman, Mr. Dudley, Mr. F. Hadland, and Mr. Goss, Mr. Stanley acting as Secretary, and they were very assiduous in their efforts to make the evening an enjoyable one. A long and varied programme had been arranged, including games, singing and dancing, and all were entered into with much spirit. During the evening, light refreshments were handed round at intervals. The Committee had secured the services of Mrs. Lever at the piano, which was kindly lent by Mr. Richmond, Mr. Judd with piccolo, and Mr. G. Neale with the violin. Several of the company had volunteered to sing, among these being Mr. J. Baker, Mr. G. Neale, Miss F. Barnes, Mr. E. Pollard, and Mr. G. Pollard, and altogether an enjoyable evening was spent. A meeting of the Committee was held on Wednesday evening last, when the accounts were presented, and showed a deficit of 1/7, which was paid out of the balance on last year's account. The balance now in the Treasurer's hands being 18/4.

The Steeden family in Tingewick
Posted on April 20, 2013 by Su	| 8 Comments
I have just heard from a Steeden descendant, fifth cousin (I think) to my daughter. She was enormously excited to be able to trace the family name back to 17th century Northamptonshire, using information from the Tingewick family group sheets.
Ah, but can she?
Certainly, I am confident that ALL the Steeden folk from Tingewick are descended from one couple – James Steeden and Sara Markham who married on Christmas Day 1770.
Sara was Tingewick born and bred – baptised in October 1741, her parents were Thomas Markham (1716-1769) and Catherine Poulton (bur. 1752 at Tingewick). The Markham line is reasonably clear, linking back four more generations to the start of parish registers and beyond in Tingewick.
James Steeden, though, was an incomer. According to the marriage register, he was from Charleton … but the next question is, which one? There are three obvious candidates – two in Oxfordshire and one in Northamptonshire – but my money is on the one in Northamptonshire. It's now combined with Newbottle (which used to be the dominant hamlet) two miles east of Kings Sutton. When I visited the graveyard some years ago I found – not Steeden graves – but Markham ones in quantity. My main reason for linking the family to Chartlton/Newbottle, though, was finding (pre-internet search) what appeared to be plausible entries for the family on the old fiche-based IGI.
Now of course I knew that the IGI was seriously flawed: but (for my sins) I built the hypothetical tree in my database which in due course grew into the Tingewick website.
Do I still think the family came from Newbottle? I'm not sure. The old IGI entries I found have not been carried through to the modern, cleaned-up online FamilySearch IGI. But that DOES have a plausible baptism in 1745 in Bloxham – less than ten miles to the west of Charlton/Newbottle – and still with William as the father's name. And I have found references in the London Gazette to the bankruptcy of a Daniel Steeden in 1845. He was a cattle dealer … the same trade followed by the Steeden families in Tingewick.
Conclusive? No, but a straw in the wind.

The hard drive maker is already getting more than expected out of its SanDisk deal.
Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) shares are rising on Thursday morning. The stock opened 6% higher on strong trading volume, thanks to a combo of upgraded leadership and raised guidance.
In a single press release issued Wednesday night, Western Digital issued preliminary fourth-quarter results and announced the exit of CFO Oliver Leonetti.
Promoting from within, Western Digital's new CFO and vice president of finance will be Mark Long, who currently serves as the company's chief strategy officer. Both Leonetti and Long were instrumental in landing the game-changing SanDisk acquisition. Leonetti is reportedly moving on to bigger and better things, but will stay around to finalize the reporting for fiscal year 2016 and in an advisory role through the end of September.
Long brings a wealth of technical and financial expertise to the table. He joined Western digital via its Hitachi Global Storage Technologies buyout. Earlier, he was an investment banker at Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse. It's a strong pedigree, and Long should be a good fit for his new role. In addition, he'll keep his current moniker as strategy officer.
The CFO transition is serious news, but fresh financial figures are really driving the share price gains today.
Fourth-quarter sales are seen landing at roughly $3.46 billion. Adjusted earnings should land at $0.72 per share. Both results are just above the top end of Western Digital's mid-quarter guidance update ranges. The company is also exceeding Wall Street's best guesses.
The strong preliminary numbers reflect better-than-expected contributions from the recently closed SanDisk buyout. Now, this is no victory march with streamers and Sousa fanfares. The revenue total sits 22% below the combined sales of Western Digital and SanDisk in the year-ago quarter. The PC market is still nursing a bad cold, and neither enterprise servers nor tablets and smartphones have been able to overcome that crucial weakness. Furthermore, the acquisition drove Western Digital's earnings forecast down in the fourth quarter due to merger costs.
All told, Western Digital shares have fallen 20% so far in 2016, including Thursday's sharp jump. The stock is also down 40% over the last year, and trades at very low valuation ratios. I recently called Western Digital out as a top stock on deep-discount sale, then followed up by actually buying shares for myself as soon as our Foolish trading guidelines would let me. So far, that investment is working out nicely -- but the real value should come when the storage markets get back to full health and Western Digital climbs out of the bargain bin.
Don't let this 5% bounce scare you away. Western Digital's stock is still cheap.


Are we back to the tear jerker era?
Well, it is a legitimate film format. You have to understand we still can't do effects/action adventure well since they require so much stunt/green screen work, so drama is where we safely work now. We're getting some of it right now.


Australia has finalized a Work and Holiday Visa agreement with Greece. This will allow more young Australians to work and study in Greece.
The new Work and Holiday Visa agreement with Greece has been in the works since 2014. It will finally come into effect from 1st July 2019.
The new Visa agreement will have an annual cap of 500 visa places for Australian and Greek citizens. Applicants should be within the age group of 18 to 30 years. Applicants will be able to live in Australia for up to 12 months under the Subclass 462 Visa.
Teren Quick, Foreign Minister of Greece, recently visited Australia. The Work and Holiday Visa agreement between Australia and Greece was signed during his visit.
David Coleman, Immigration Minister, said that Australia and Greece share a great friendship, as quoted by SBS News. Greece had shown great interest in participating in the Work and Holiday Program. The new Visa agreement will facilitate more cultural exchange between the two countries. It will also provide more opportunities for work.
The Scott Morrison led Govt. is committed to the Work and Holiday Program. The program has been instrumental in providing farmers and regional employers access to more workers.
Besides Greece, Melbourne houses the largest Greek population in the world.
Greek nationals would be able to apply for a Work and Holiday Visa for a second time too. However, they would need to have performed specific work in the regional areas of Australia.
Greek applicants, who complete 6 months of work in regional areas may be eligible to apply the Visa for a third time too.
Including Greece, Australia now has partnered with 43 countries across the world for the Work and Holiday Program.

Buffy contre Dracula est le  de la saison 5 de la série télévisée Buffy contre les vampires

Résumé
Buffy passe les journées d'été avec Riley et le Scooby-gang, et les nuits au cimetière à chasser les vampires. Au cours d'une de ses chasses, elle rencontre le Comte Dracula qui semble beaucoup s'intéresser à elle. Parallèlement, Willow apprend que Giles désire retourner en Angleterre. En effet, il ne se sent plus d'aucune utilité pour Buffy. Dracula rend visite à Buffy la nuit venue et la mord. La Tueuse, envoûtée par le puissant regard du Comte, ne peut rien faire. Le lendemain, la bande découvre la morsure.

Pour protéger Buffy de Dracula, Alex propose de l'héberger mais personne ne sait encore qu'Alex est devenu entretemps l'émissaire de Dracula. Alex mène Buffy à son « maître » qui propose à la Tueuse de goûter son sang. Elle s'exécute et cela lui donne le pouvoir de se libérer de l'emprise du Comte qu'elle réussit à faire fuir, sous sa forme de brume, après lui avoir planté à deux reprises un pieu en plein cœur. Cela fait, Buffy demande à Giles de redevenir son Observateur afin qu'elle puisse en apprendre plus sur la signification de son travail. En rentrant chez elle, Buffy découvre une adolescente en train de fouiller ses affaires : sa petite sœur Dawn.

Production
L'idée de ce premier épisode est d'introduire le thème de la saison, dans la continuité de Cauchemar, qui est la découverte des origines de la Tueuse et de son côté sombre. Pour cela, les scénaristes avaient besoin d'un vampire particulièrement puissant et charismatique, capable de faire entrevoir à Buffy son côté le plus obscur, et Joss Whedon suggéra alors d'utiliser Dracula puisqu'il était désormais entré dans le domaine public. Marti Noxon, qui a écrit le scénario de l'épisode, estime que cela a été l'un des épisodes les plus difficiles à écrire de toute la série car elle était limitée par la durée alors qu'elle sentait qu'elle pouvait en écrire beaucoup plus sur Dracula.

Le rôle de Dracula a d'abord été proposé à Freddie Prinze Jr., alors petit ami et plus tard mari de Sarah Michelle Gellar, mais l'acteur a dû y renoncer en raison du tournage d'un film à la même période que celui de l'épisode.

Références internes
À la fin de l'épisode, Alex fait allusion à la fois où il a contracté la syphilis, dans L'Esprit vengeur. La remarque de Dracula sur le fait que Buffy croit savoir qui elle est et ce qui l'attend mais qu'elle commence à peine fait écho à celle de Tara dans le rêve de Buffy de l'épisode Cauchemar.

Références culturelles
Les références au roman de Bram Stoker et au film de Francis Ford Coppola, directement inspiré du roman, sont nombreuses. On voit notamment Dracula se transformer en brume, en chauve-souris et en loup, une tempête annoncer son arrivée, ses trois servantes vampires essayer de séduire Giles comme elles le font avec Jonathan Harker et Alex tomber sous le contrôle du comte et se nourrir d'insectes de la même façon que Renfield. Buffy fait également allusion à Lestat, un des vampires imaginés par Anne Rice, au début de l'épisode.

Statut particulier
Cet épisode introduit certains des arcs narratifs principaux de la saison : l'attirance de Buffy pour Dracula qui l'emmène à se questionner sur son côté sombre et l'origine des pouvoirs de la Tueuse ; la fragilité de la relation entre Buffy et Riley qui va conduire au départ de ce dernier ; la détermination d'Alex à devenir plus respectable ; et l'apparition inattendue du personnage de Dawn.

Noel Murray, du site The A.V. Club, évoque un épisode qui n'est  et réintroduit bien tous les principaux personnages avec de nouvelles thématiques mais a pour principal problème d'être  à partir du moment où l'on connaît un minimum la légende de Dracula. La BBC délivre une critique plus positive, estimant que Marti Noxon a écrit un , après une saison 4 qui en manquait, qui est  et où . Pour Mikelangelo Marinaro, du site , qui lui donne la note de B+, l'épisode installe  les thématiques de la saison  pour chaque personnage et est, de plus, , ses quelques défauts étant un Dracula , un rythme plutôt lent par moments et une fin trop .

News Singapore Premier League • July 8, 2021
Daniel Bennett scores Tampines Rovers' first ever AFC Champions League goal
Daniel Bennett (no. 16) celebrates after scoring in the AFC Champions League for Tampines Rovers , 7 July 2021 (Photo: Shintaro Tay/Tampines Rovers)
SINGAPORE, 8 JULY 2021 – Veteran defender Daniel Bennett wrote himself into the history books on Wednesday night when he scored for Tampines Rovers in their Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) 2021 match against Gamba Osaka.
The centre-back's fine looping header from Zehrudin Mehmedović's corner on 27 minutes halved the deficit for the Stags in their fifth Group H encounter at the Bunyodkor Stadium in Tashkent, Uzbekistan last night. However, their Japanese opponents would run out 8-1 winners.
Nonetheless, Bennett's strike meant he scored Tampines' first ever goal in the ACL, with this being the club's debut in the tournament. At 43 years and 181 days, Bennett also eclipsed Dejan Damjanović (39y 341d) as the oldest ever scorer in the tournament's history.

Remarkably, it came 11 years and 85 days after his first goal in the ACL – a 65th-minute opener for Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) against Henan Jianye in their Group G encounter in 2010, which SAF won 2-1. That remains the only victory by a Singaporean club in ACL history. With his goal against Gamba, Bennett also drew level with Erwan Gunawan on two ACL goals, which is believed to be a joint-leading tally by a Singaporean player in the tournament's history.
Tampines goalkeeper Syazwan Buhari also made his mark by pulling off two penalty saves in the same match, which is believed to make him the first Singaporean goalkeeper to save a spot-kick in the ACL.

Mark Ballas Reprises Roll as F…
Mark Ballas Reprises Roll as Franki Valli
Mark Ballas Reprises His Acclaimed Broadway Performance as Frankie Valli In Los Angeles Cast of "Jersey Boys"
Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-Winning Best Musical
Directed by Des McAnuff
Casting has been announced for the Los Angeles engagement of the Tony, Grammy and Olivier Award-winning hit musical "Jersey Boys," the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, previewing May 16 and 17, opening May 18 and continuing through June 24, 2017, at Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre.
Mark Ballas will reprise his hit Broadway performance as Frankie Valli for the Los Angeles engagement of the tour. Ballas, known for his Emmy nominated work on "Dancing with the Stars," made his Broadway debut in the role last fall (October 18, 2016 – January 15, 2017). Critically acclaimed 'Frankie veterans' Aaron De Jesus and Miguel Jarquin-Moreland will play Frankie Valli at certain performances during the week. The cast of "Jersey Boys" will also feature Matthew Dailey (Tommy DeVito), Keith Hines (Nick Massi) and Cory Jeacoma (Bob Gaudio) as The Four Seasons, with Barry Anderson and Thomas Fiscella.
The ensemble of "Jersey Boys" includes Mark Edwards, Corey Greenan, Bryan Hindle, David LaMarr, Austin Owen, Kristen Paulicelli, Leslie Rochette, Andrew Russell, Jenna Nicole Schoen, Dru Serkes, Jonny Wexler and Jesse Wildman.
"Jersey Boys" is the winner of the 2006 Best Musical Tony Award, the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album, the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Musical and the 2010 Helpmann Award for Best Musical (Australia). "Jersey Boys" has been seen by over 24 million people worldwide (as of January, 2017).
Directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff, "Jersey Boys" is written by Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
"Jersey Boys" is the behind-the-music story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard – and the radio just couldn't get enough of it. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story – a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Oh What A Night," "Walk Like A Man," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Working My Way Back To You."
"Jersey Boys" opened at the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to critical acclaim on November 6, 2005, running 11 record-breaking years and becoming the 12th longest running show in Broadway history. The boys said goodbye to Broadway on January 15, 2017. The "Jersey Boys" U.S. National Tour opened to rave reviews in San Francisco on December 1, 2006. Tours of the United Kingdom and Australia will begin the end of 2017 and 2018 respectively.
The "Jersey Boys" design and production team comprises Klara Zieglerova (scenic design), Jess Goldstein (costume design), Howell Binkley (winner of the 2006 Tony Award for his lighting design of "Jersey Boys"), Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound design), Michael Clark (projections design), Charles LaPointe (wig and hair design), Steve Orich (orchestrations) and Ron Melrose (music supervision, vocal/dance arrangements and incidental music).
"Jersey Boys" is produced by Dodger Theatricals, Joseph J. Grano, Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Pelican Group, with Latitude Link and Rick Steiner.
The original Broadway cast recording of "Jersey Boys," produced by Bob Gaudio, was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The cast recording is available on Rhino Records. "Jersey Boys: The Story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons" (Broadway Books) is the official handbook to the smash Broadway hit. "Seasons Greetings: A Jersey Boys Christmas," a holiday CD featuring international cast members of "Jersey Boys," produced by Bob Gaudio, is available on Rhino Records.
Tickets for "Jersey Boys" are available by calling (213) 972-4400, online at CenterTheatreGroup.org or by visiting the Center Theatre Group box office located at the Ahmanson Theatre. Tickets range from $25 – $125 (ticket prices are subject to change). The Ahmanson Theatre is located at The Music Center, 135 N. Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles, 90012.

The Kimberley region boasts over 300 species of birds as a whole, including an array of colourful parrots, cockatoos and galahs which can reach relatively large sizes for bird life. If you've got an interest in all things avian, be sure to pay a visit to the Broome Bird Observatory during your visit, as it's one of the best overall showcases of winged creatures not only in this region but Australia as a whole. Located on the shoes of Roebuck Bay, the Broome Bird Observatory is dedicated to the conservation of its vast number of shorebirds – the largest of any location on the planet, with numbers approaching 150,000 annual avian visitors in total.
A lot of credit needs to be given to the volunteer staff who maintain the Observatory, as their passion for – and knowledge of – the ecology behind such a locale is impressive. In addition, while there's no entrance fee, donations that go towards the continued maintenance and running of the Observatory are requested. Getting to the Broome Bird Observatory can sometimes be a challenge as it's accessible via a corrugated road that makes driving 2-wheeled vehicles possible but only during dry periods. Guided tours are also available at an extra charge that will take you around for a more detailed look at the birds and their habits.
In all, the Broome Bird Observatory allows you to get a dose of wildlife while going truly "off the beaten track" that's completely different to your average, sterile "stare-at-animals-in-cages" zoo experience, and the sheer diversity of birds on display here makes it a must-visit for bird watching enthusiasts and wildlife lovers in general.

Mr. Atemba is a registered ICPAK (Institute of Certified Public Accountants) member and holds an MBA in Finance. The soft-spoken but firm gentleman is in charge of the Assembly's Finance department, which stands out to be the pillar of the County Assembly.
According to Mr. Atemba, the department is guided by the following principles of public finance while executing its mandates:
Openness and accountability, including public participation in financial matters.
Promoting an equitable society by the public finance system.
The burdens and benefits of the use of resources and public borrowing shall be shared equitably between present and future generations.
Public money shall be used in a prudent and responsible way.
Financial management shall be responsible, and fiscal reporting shall be clear.
Based on these principles, the Director says that the department has been able to carry out its duties in; Accounting, Budgeting, Financial Reporting as well as Asset Management.
"We cover a wide range of activities from bookkeeping to providing information through financial statements that assist the County Assembly Service Board (CASB) in making strategic decisions," says the Director.
The department is also responsible for managing the institution's cash flow and ensuring that there are enough funds to meet day-to-day payments. He affirms that where there are cash needs beyond the day-to-day working capital, his department is responsible for advising accordingly and sourcing for shorter term financing.
Mr. Atemba applauds his team for being dedicated to work, a move that has seen the department succeed in executing its duties citing the budgeting unit as an example.
"We have been able to follow the budgeting process timelines to the latter," he says, "and our strength has been sheer hard work and teamwork among our members," he added.
Looking forward, the department will work hand in hand with the CASB to prepare the Assembly's budgets and forecasts, and to report back on the progress against these in the succeeding financial years. He adds that this information can be used to plan staffing levels, asset purchases and expansions and cash needs before they become necessary.
"It is important to have some idea of where you want to go before you start going there," he concludes.

City of Aspen supports tax increases, oil and gas restrictions
Local Local | Oct 9, 2018

The Aspen Jewish Community Center open for voting during the last election.

Aspen City Council on Monday night officially backed a state amendment limiting oil and gas development, and two local tax increase measures that support the regional bus system and health and human services.
Ballot Measure 1A asks Pitkin County voters to renew the existing property tax that supports the Healthy Community Fund.
The question also asks voters to increase the tax by $750,000 annually, up to just over $3 million and extending it by nine years.
In a resolution passed by council, it states that the fund supports 55,000 people from Aspen to Parachute, improving access to health care, preventing and treating substance abuse, diminishing the impacts of mental illness, and optimizing the quality of life for residents and workers in Pitkin County.
Council also supports Ballot Question 7A, a property tax that would fund the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority for the next 20 years.
It is being asked in nine different jurisdictions, which are all served by RFTA.
The city's resolution states that without the approval of 7A, "RFTA will likely be forced to reduce regional services by up to 20 percent in just a few years in order to replace its aging buses."
The resolution also acknowledges that Aspen is a primary job generator for the region and benefits "significantly from RFTA."
On the state amendment front, council members said they believe it's important to weigh in on issues that could affect local communities.
They support the passage of Proposition 112, which requires 2,500-foot setbacks on oil and gas fracking developments near schools, hospitals, homes and drinking water sources.
The resolution passed summarizes the risks and detrimental impacts that fracking has on human health.
It cites the flow line-related explosion in Firestone that killed two men and injured a woman in their home in 2017 and the fact that Colorado has experienced at least a dozen reported fires and explosions at oil and gas sites. The average evacuation distance for a U.S. well blowout is 0.8 miles, according to the resolution passed by council.
It also states that there were 619 spills in the state last year — 93,000 gallons of oil into the soil, groundwater and streams and 506,000 gallons of produced water spilled, including direct flows into waterways.
"Colorado is an arid state and drinking water sources must be protected," the resolution reads.
Council also passed a resolution opposing Amendment 74. It's a ballot question that asks Colorado voters this fall to amend the state Constitution that requires local governments to compensate a property owner if a law or regulation reduces the fair-market value of his or her land.
Last month, council members discussed impacts the amendment would have on local governments' ability to legislate.
Monday night's resolution was more pointed. It states that "governments would be vulnerable to lawsuits for almost every decision to regulate or not regulate."
And that could cost billions of dollars to Colorado. Similar measures in Oregon and Washington cost state agencies and local governments $7.5 billion the first six years they were in effect.
Ballots will be mailed Oct. 15 and early voting begins Oct. 22. Election Day is Nov. 6.

Startup investment platform CircleUP looks for $100m
Investment platform for small consumer brands CircleUp is planning to raise $100m, according to an SEC filing.
The California-based company's technology analyses more than 90,000 data points around 1 million different startup consumer brands to identify the opportunities for investment.
The company counts 205 startups that have raised more than $325m in capital through its platform.
CircleUp focuses on consumer brands where there are often physical products that may struggle to attract traditional private investment at an early stage.
The similar business models and range of data points also make it more straightforward for its technology to evaluate than in an industry such as tech.
In addition to serving as a platform for investors to discover and back startups, CircleUp itself also invest in in companies.
The filing, on which the company is listed as CircleUp Growth Partners, suggest the new funding is for the company's own venture capital efforts.
The firm has raised more than $53m in funding to date, most recently a $30m Series C round led by Collaborative Fund in November 2015.
Its other backers include Union Square Ventures, Canaan Partners, QED Investors, Maveron and GV.

Comunas de Indre (departamento)


Yesterday, I had the pleasure of learning, teaching, sharing, and absorbing lots of great ideas at Social Media for Nonprofits, a conference series curated by Darian Rodriguez Heyman and Ritu Sharma and sponsored by NTEN. The conference made its New York debut, after passing through San Francisco and Washington, DC, where it similarly drew large crowds of eager nonprofit staffers, enthusiastic consultants, and yes, even a few services.
The NYC event's program and speakers offered a good blend of the familiar and the new, and seemed to garner some rave reviews (if you can believe everything you read on Twitter). I presented some thoughts on multi-channel fundraising strategies (slides embedded below), walking through the year-end campaign Big Duck developed last year for the National Military Family Association. I did my best to stress the importance of starting with a big idea or story that lays out the problem/solution your campaign addresses; highlighting clear, compelling, and easy actions for your community; and then integrating that across various channels. Curious? Be sure to check out the ten steps we suggest in the slides.
* Focus your social media efforts on a three-part blend of listening, joining, and creating real, engaging, and valuable content. Know what makes you different (and delicious!) and let that guide you. Take time to measure and analyze your impact. Try this handy metrics dashboard for starters.
* If you don't have a good story or message to tell, using lots of social media tools won't help. You should think of your website and email list as the skeleton/main body of your efforts. Then put on your Twitter earrings and your YouTube sweater.
* Start thinking about mobile and embrace it. Consider SMS, apps, QR codes and more. And be creative–one organization has a QR code on their business cards that links to a video of its founders explaining who the organization is and why it exists.
* The Causes application on Facebook lets you empower your supporters to raise money and engage their friends on your behalf. To be successful, do what you can to mirror your offline community-building efforts and share stories, photos/videos, and impact on a regular basis.
* Focus on being inspirational and the dollars will come. The key to success is making sure that your content (videos, blogs, information visualizations) is shareable. Every fundraising campaign is a mini 'word-of-mouth' movement.
* Ask the data what's working. Gather the info, analyze it, then change how you act.
* For a campaign to be successful, (whether fundraising or marketing) all channels and messaging must be aligned.
* If you have a physical space, try using geo-location tools like Foursquare to build relationships with your community.
* Treat all donors like major donors. Also, when it comes to your message and social media, you have already lost control–and that's okay, you never had it.
* Measure your ROE: Return on Engagement to learn the true value of social media. It's less important to track the pure #s of fans and followers, and more to look at how they respond, share, and connect with you.

Carole Radziwill Says Her Friendship with Tinsley Mortimer on RHONY Was Just a 'Storyline'
Carole Radziwill is opening up about her friendship — or lack thereof — with Tinsley Mortimer.
Radziwill, 55, said her close bond with Mortimer, 43, during season 10 of the Real Housewives of New York City was fabricated for the show, admitting they were never really friends.
"Tinsley and I weren't really clicking," she said during an appearance on SiriusXM's The Jenny McCarthy Show. "We were on the show together, no one wanted to film with her that much, I had fixed her up with this guy I knew, so it was an easy way to do scenes together."
The former castmates' friendship infamously caused a rift between former BFFs Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel during season 10. But Radziwill said producers purposely put the two women together in order to create a "storyline."
"We filmed a lot together, but a lot of it was 'Oh you're going to stay in Tinsley's room' when the producer would divvy up rooms," she said. "I was like 'Okay, but that's not really what I would do. I would normally go to the Hamptons and stay at Bethenny's house. This is weird that I'm staying at Tinsley's.' So a lot of that. And Bethenny knew that."
Radziwill said she hasn't spoken to Mortimer since leaving the show.
"After filming I never spoke with Tinsley and I haven't seen or talked to her in a year or two years," she said. "We weren't clicking. That was one of those storylines."
Mortimer had opened up about their relationship on an earlier episode of WWHL, admitting she hadn't called Radziwill since she left the series. "But I love her and I should. It's my fault," she said.
Asked about Radziwill saying they were never that close, Mortimer turned to the camera: "Yeah, it hurt my feelings but I still love her. I'd like to be friends with her again. Carole, I'd like to be friends with you again. Hi, call me."
The Real Housewives of New York City season 11 reunion airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

West African Leaders Impose Sanctions on Mali
Posted April 2nd, 2012 at 5:55 pm (UTC-5)
West African countries have imposed sanctions on Mali, where coup leaders are vowing to restore civilian rule but so far remain in power.
Leaders from the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, decided Monday to implement the diplomatic and financial sanctions immediately.
The group closed all borders between Mali and member states, and cut off the currency flow to the country, which relies on the region's central bank.
The ECOWAS heads of state met in Senegal's capital, Dakar, after the end of a 72-hour deadline for Mali's military junta chiefs to restore constitutional order.
On Sunday, coup leader Captain Amadou Sanogo said the constitution and all state institutions had been restored but gave no timetable for elections.
According to a VOA correspondent at Monday's talks, ECOWAS said the junta's statement is a step in the right direction, but that it wants to see concrete action.
The regional group also called on Tuareg rebels in Mali's north to stop their advance. The rebels have seized three key towns since soldiers seized power from President Amadou Toumani Toure on March 22.
The ECOWAS leaders also said they are putting a military force on standby. However, it is unclear when any troops would deploy and what their mandate would be.
Also Monday, the United Nations Security Council said it would hold an emergency meeting Tuesday on Mali.
On Sunday, Captain Sanogo pledged coup leaders will work to organize a democratic vote, and will not run in the elections.
"We will leave conditions for a good transition to preserve national unity, we will engage, under the eyes of mediators, in consultations with all the actors of society in the context of a national convention in order to put in place a transitional body with the aim of organizing calm, free, transparent and democratic elections in which we will not participate."
Mali had been scheduled to hold elections this month before Mr. Toure's overthrow. The president, who completed nearly two terms, was not going to run.
The soldiers who toppled Mr. Toure accused him of failing to provide the army with enough resources to stop the Tuareg rebellion.
Heavily armed Tuareg rebels arrived in northern Mali after the fall of neighboring Libya, and launched an insurgency in mid-January. Tuareg separatists have been seeking autonomy for decades.
Britain and France have advised their nationals to leave the country, while the United States says American should make plans to depart if necessary.
