Alan Turing by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara. Illustrated by Ashling Lindsay

Age Recommendation: Early Primary, but with a caveat. Topic/ Theme: Mathematics, lgbtq, biographic. Setting: Britain Series: Little People, Big Dreams

Rating: 5/5

I wanted to read this book to see how Turing's rather sad life ending was handled. I knew because of it's import it couldn't be ignored but I wanted to see how it was presented to a young audience. I know it is sad but I was curious and Turing is one of the most important people in history. The tragic life of Turing is handled with grace and as much sensitivity as possible. It is made clear that the behaviour was unacceptable. But the details of what he endured are not included for which we should all be grateful. That would be too much to explain to a child, my condition would have been treated in the same manner not much earlier in history.

The colouring Ashling Lindsay has chosen is interesting. There is a lot of darker colours representing the darkness that often was Turing's life. The last pages are so brightly coloured reflecting his import to the lgbtq community. There is one red page, the end of the war, but I can't figure out why all the read. Like a couple of others in the Little People, Big Dreams series there is an item to look for on each page. A red apple. I just appreciate the art and the way it tells its own sad story.

This one is quite a bit sadder and grimmer than other entries in the series. Due to some of the darker content anti lgbtq themes, his premature death parents/guardians need to be sure their child is ready for it, that they are ready and able to answer the questions that arise.

It was a fine day. I did laundry and bought groceries (money out the door that's not coming back in right now 😢 ((jk I'm not THAT stressed by it because I saved way more money than I realized 😅))). I started Umbrella Academy, good so far. I made Velveeta's version of hamburger helper for dinner and am alarmed at how much I enjoy it. I talked to some of the most important people 🖤. I applied for a job to prove I'm looking, only to get through the whole thing and find out the position isnt open (job hunting online is so fucking stupid also fuck capitalism to death). I watched so many Lindsay Ellis videos I'm crushing but let's face it I crush a lot. I tried to make a black knight paladin but got stuck on bad ability scores and repetitive concept (my samurai paladin is kind of perfect and any other paladin I make just doesn't live up to him, sad I'll never play him I wanna know if he's as kool as I think he is.) Pivoted into a fighter and settled into a groovy niche: Fire Genasi Eldritch Knight. First Genasi I've ever made actually, she's got lots of potential. Picture of Ashling from MTG that served as reference included below. I'm going to bed WAY too late, none of this was worth documenting and I have so much work to do on the job front tomorrow to make up for the time I've been wasting. Ain't to proud to beg, but the universe really fucking owes me a big break here and I'll call whatever debt I have to. Oh and the last trailer for Lovecraft Country has me super stoked. Night y'all

“Love ain’t like that.” “How is it then?” Peaches asked, turning on her stomach to face me. “It’s like sky. If you keep driving and driving, gas will run out, right?” “That’s why we gotta go to the gas station.” “Yep. But have you ever seen the sky run out? No matter how far we go?” “No, when we look up, there it is.” “Well that’s the kind of love Daddy and Mama got for us, Peaches–love like…

NI Artists Receiving National Lottery Funding for Free Classes

If any area of the economy has grown during the pandemic, it is education. Not just academic education either, but leisure courses and business training. It is to this end that the National Lottery recently allocated some 88 artists based in Northern Ireland grants to deliver their own online courses. So many artists receiving national lottery funding have offered illustration and other art courses over the last few years. But now, they can offer their courses for free to children and adults. This helps both the artists who currently struggle for offline clients, and children and adults with little money to invest.

Who Are the Artists Receiving National Lottery Funding For This?

The National Lottery has always had a strong focus supporting small businesses. The smallest businesses – freelancers and individual projects – are among the hardest hit. This applies especially to artists hired for night classes, community projects and heritage and arts projects. But all that work has gone. Funds traditionally available for large projects in spring and summer have gone. Money once set aside to sustain charities are switching to look at helping larger communities through investments in skills. Webinars and online training is a huge growth area. Essentially, the lotteries are taking the edge of both the business loss and social vacuum.

Among the artists receiving National Lottery funding is the award winning Ashling Lindsay. Last year, she received an ACES award for her work from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. This year, she received another award, this from KPMG Children’s Illustration. She explained how she aimed to use some of her award money to develop some picture books which had to take a backseat and delayed release. But now, like many others, she is developing an illustration course, something she started when coronavirus hit. Not only will it educate, she will make some illustrations free for download to help people improve.

In an entertainment era filled with reboots, it’s darkly fitting that Hollywood would get a new version of the bling ring — the group of teens who began burglarizing the homes of celebrities like Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom, and Paris Hilton in 2008. The crime ring inspired a Lifetime movie and a theatrical film release, and has potentially now influenced a new quartet of copycats to steal from the rich and famous.

The Los Angeles Police Department announced Wednesday that an adult and three teens were under arrest in connection with robberies of the homes of Rihanna, Christina Milian, Yasiel Puig of the LA Dodgers, and Robert Woods of the LA Rams. The suspects were reportedly found with $50,000 in cash as well as assorted jewelry, watches, and handbags.

“During recent months, the Los Angeles Police Department has become aware of residential burglaries targeting actors, producers, musicians, and professional athletes living in the Los Angeles area,” said Lillian L. Carranza, captain of LAPD’s commercial crimes division, during a press conference.

Police didn’t realize at first that the crimes were related, but eventually made a connection between the recent burglaries. Rihanna’s home was just burglarized last week, and according to the authorities, the suspects planned to hit the homes of LeBron James, Viola Davis, and Matt Damon next.

Celebrity burglary ring: LAPD announces arrests in theft cases! Detectives continue to work the case. Much work remains to be done! https://t.co/G3OLgfvVWR

— Lillian L. Carranza (@LAPDCARRANZA) October 3, 2018

“Detectives continue to work the case,” Carranza said on Twitter. “Much work remains to be done!”

As with the original bling ring, there may be a psychological component to the burglaries allegedly committed by Jshawne Daniels, Tyress Williams, Damaji Hall, and Ashle Hall. The famous people targeted don’t appear to be random, but ones teens like and respect, or at least follow avidly. Breaking into the homes of celebrities may be a way for these burglars to, just briefly, live through them.

A decade has passed since the first bling ring began its crime spree, and Kim Kardashian was robbed in Paris two years ago. That entertainers continue to be theft victims shows that the loss of privacy that accompanies fame even extends to celebrities’ homes.

October 3 marked two years since Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint at a Paris hotel. Masked men tied up the reality star, stealing millions in jewelry.

Although Kardashian received an outpouring of support after the heist, she was also the target of victim blaming. Flashing pricey bling on social media, stepping out in outfits that cost tens of thousands of dollars, and oversharing generally on her reality TV show meant, to some, that she invited the attack.

Even Kardashian blamed herself for the robbery, telling Ellen DeGeneres in April 2017: “I know that was meant to happen to me. I really feel like things happen in your life to teach you things. … I was being flashy, and I was definitely materialistic before.”

Following the robbery, Kardashian’s team rebranded her as a contrite woman who’d learned her lesson. For a spell, she went dark on social media, and sources told People magazine how the experience had also made her a better mother. That meant Kardashian wore less makeup, simple jewelry, and baggy T-shirts and sweatpants instead of latex dresses.

After the original bling ring was arrested for burglarizing the homes of young Hollywood, including former Kardashian BFF Paris Hilton, blame was also directed at the victims. It wasn’t that these celebrities uploaded images of million dollar jewels on social media. Rather, they shared their comings and goings on Twitter, making it easy for the burglars to know when they wouldn’t be home. Many didn’t have alarm systems, and those who did often neglected to activate them. Hilton, incredibly, left a spare key to her mansion under a doormat.

“People like Paris Hilton made themselves so vulnerable in so many ways,” Robert Siciliano, a personal and home security expert told Vulture in 2013. “It was like the poster-child incident, if you will, for what not to do.”

This time around, it’s unclear exactly how this set of robbers broke into the homes of their celebrity targets. But one of the ring’s would-be targets, LeBron James, has already taken steps to make his LA home more secure. The NBA star now reportedly has a team of roughly 10 armed guards, including off-duty cops, patrolling the grounds of his estate. The NBA is also helping to keep James safe, and the NFL is working to protect Rams star Robert Woods.

The extra security is surely needed since it’s so easy for the public to know when pro-athletes like Woods, James, or Puig are away playing games. Puig’s home was robbed during the World Series last year. And a singer-entrepreneur like Rihanna doesn’t have much more privacy. She attends product launches, music industry events, and concerts known to everyone. And it’s difficult for celebrities to keep their addresses secret.

“When you roll into Hollywood, you can get a map to the stars on any street corner for five bucks that will show you where everybody lives,” Siciliano told Vulture. “So in that scenario, it’s very difficult for those people to stay private unless they purposefully do just that. And that is often expensive.”

Members of the original bling ring and this new crop of burglars may have turned to crime for a combination of reasons — a love of fashion, the need for cash, or a desire to experience the Hollywood lifestyle among them. The leader of the first bling ring, Rachel Lee, began stealing primarily “based on her desire to own the designer wardrobes of the Hollywood celebrities she admired,” according to the LAPD. The members of the ring especially admired Megan Fox’s wardrobe, and for Lee, in particular, Lindsay Lohan was the “ultimate fashion icon.”

After Lee’s arrest, she longed to hear Lohan’s thoughts on the crimes. She reportedly asked an LAPD detective working the case, “What did Lindsay say?”

The exact motivations of each bling ring member aren’t entirely known. While the group has largely been portrayed in the press and in the 2013 Bling Ring film as disaffected white youth from the wealthy LA suburb of Calabasas, the truth is more complicated.

The bling ring was, in fact, a racially diverse group of young people. Lee is Korean American and another member, Diana Tamayo, was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico at the time of her arrest. But the white members of the bling ring, like Nick Prugo and Alexis Neiers, garnered most of the media attention.

Each alleged member of the new ring is African American, however. And three of them are young men between the ages of 18 and 19; the lone woman in the group is the mom of one suspect. That most of the suspects are men might explain why they allegedly hit Hollywood athletes, not once a target of the previous ring. The marks also stand out because all have been black, while none of the victims of the original bling ring were. African-American burglars would presumably look less conspicuous stepping onto the estates of black celebrities. (How Matt Damon fits into all of this is anyone’s guess.)

Like their predecessors, the suspects in the new bling ring appear to have wanted in on Hollywood glamour as well. Carranza, LAPD’s commercial crimes division captain, said they drove to the homes of their targets in designer clothes and a luxury car. Immediately before their break-ins, they would change into hoodies to conceal their identities. But they may not have acted alone — the LAPD doesn’t necessarily believe the foursome are the only burglars targeting celebrities.

This suspicion lends credence to the theory security expert Robert Siciliano made five years ago. Asked about the chance of another bling ring forming, he said that criminals had never stopped pursuing the rich and the famous. Since celebrities don’t enjoy looking like easy marks, however, they tend to keep mum about the issue.

“I would say it is happening now; it just might not be getting the same attention or publicity,” Siciliano said. “Nobody wants to admit that they were burgled or robbed or accosted. … More than anything, it’s embarrassing. … My guess is that if in fact this is happening right now, which I’m sure it is, people are being quiet about it because they don’t want to be a poster child for what not to do.”
