The short concludes with the phrase “Gloria Scott Will Not Return”. The duo start investigating the murder of a well known historian which occurred in front of the door of their own residence, bringing them to Westminster Cathedral. The short takes place in Victorian London, with amateur detective Gloria Scott (originally a character from one of Arthur Conan Doyle's short stories) solving crimes alongside her sidekick Mary. It is animated in traditional 2D form, but with 3D elements. Producer Dijana Mladenović eventually offered the project to Matija Pisačić, who suggested an original script based on the character. The collection of short stories by Mima Simić, Pustolovine Glorije Scott (English: Adventures of Gloria Scott), caught the interest of Croatian animators for a long time, and was initially developed by the animator Magda Dulčić, who was unsuccessful in securing funds. Described as an LGBT parody of Sherlock Holmes, the script was written by Jasna Žmak on the basis of a book by Mima Simić. Murder in the Cathedral ( Croatian: Umorstvo u katedrali) is a 2020 Croatian-Serbian animated short by Matija Pisačić and Tvrko Raspolić, produced by Kinematograf and Papa Films. While there's some humorous aspects to the story, this isn't the one I'd want to see my own kids playing out in the house after having it read to them. (and while you get the idea that Papa is going to have to pay to clean it up, the point is, throwing money at the problem really makes no difference in the long run - you shouldn't be destroying other people's property to begin with).Īnd of course Mama Bear was right all along. Rather than ask the owl (as Mama suggests) he and the cubs go on a wild chase to find the culprit, doing untold amounts of vandalism that really isn't funny at all to the store owners who are going to find a huge mess. In this particular book, Papa Bear wakes up and finds his special honey is missing, but there are several clues. *shakes head* Sometimes I really don't like these as I think that while meant to be funny, the fact that Papa Bear is so clueless sometimes feeds into the current media trope of the "stupid male" too much. Another in what could be termed as the "Papa Bear is an Idiot" series. Karen's images have been showcased in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Huffington Post, Good Morning America, New York 1, and others. Our conversation took us in many directions, not the least of which included the careful craftsmanship and interpersonal disciple it requires to embrace these children as if they were her own to represent humanity and dignity rather than pity. Like father, like daughter, she was quickly drawn to the art of storytelling through the camera lens and found her voice in capturing the humanity within children of rare disease. Karen's father was himself a photographer who taught her how to shoot when she was in middle school. Today on the show, I welcome Karen Haberberg, a New York-based photographer and the author of several books, one of which is called An Ordinary Day: Kids with Rare Genetic Conditions.

With the stunning paintings of Thomas Gonzalez, master storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy hits all the right notes in this elegant story of generosity that crosses boundaries, nations, and cultures. This New York Times best seller recounts the true story from Wilson Kimeli Naiyomah of a touching gift bestowed on the United States by a tribe of Maasai Warriors in the wake of the September 11th attacks. Word of the gift will travel newswires around the globe, and for the heartsick American nation, the gift of fourteen cows emerges from the choking dust and darkness as a soft light of hope―and friendship. The gift is as unexpected as it is extraordinary.Ī mere nine months have passed since the September 11 attacks, and hearts are raw as these legendary Maasai warriors offer their gift to a grieving people half a world away. A gift is about to be bestowed upon the American men, women, and children, and he is there to accept it. An American diplomat is surrounded by hundreds of Maasai people. In June of 2002, a very unusual ceremony begins in a far-flung village in western Kenya. "'I give my beloved Louisa all my ready money-that she may never be alarmed at a sudden call. "'Thirdly,-As to the wealth with which God has been pleased to bless me and my dear Louisa and children, lovingly have we labored together for it-lovingly we have enjoyed it-and now, with a glad and grateful heart do I leave it among them. My dear family will, I know, follow my example. "'Secondly,-As to the poor, I have always treated them as my brethren. "'In the first place, as to debts, thank God, I owe none, and therefore shall give my executors but little trouble on that score. "After having, in the good old way, bequeathed 'his soul to God who gave it,' and 'his body to the earth out of which it was taken,' he proceeds:. She may have been "Judith Louisa"! Women's names were not of much consequence in those days. He calls Judith Marion "Louisa," but that is his picturesque way. We have not found the date of his death, but Horry gives the principal features of his will as he got them from the family. General Horry was a most zealous and devoted friend as a biographer his accuracy is questionable, his picturesqueness never. He was "pressed in a cheese-press" on account of his religious opinions. Granddaughter of Simon Ray, one of the original owners of the island. He graduated in 1771 from Rhode Island College (now Brown University) with distinguished honors.
