October 29, 2018--Brentwood--Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announces a $20 million initiative to combat MS-13 violence on Long Island. $15 million from the new grant will be going towards a new community “hub” building in Brentwood. The Governor touched on the importance of deterring young kids from gangs, saying it was easy to get sucked in. (Kevin P. Coughlin/Office of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo)
Retirement home of Jefferson Davis (Beauvoir House). The other buildings on the site were destroyed or damaged so severely they will have to be taken down (e.g., Presidential Library).
In 1877, Jefferson Davis was looking for a quiet retreat to write his books and papers. While inspecting property on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, he paid a courtesy call on Mrs. Dorsey (a family friend). He told her of his plans to try to find a place to write his books and papers. She encouraged him to stay at Beauvoir in one of the two pavilions in from of Beauvoir House to write his books. He agreed to do so only if he paid $50.00 a month for room and board. After two years, he fell in love with the property and he wanted to buy it. She in turn wanted to sell it to him, so they agreed upon a selling price of $5,500.00 dollars to be paid in three payments. He made the first payment and six months later, Mrs. Dorsey died. At that time he found out he was her sole heir and he eventually inherited the house along with other property.
Jefferson Davis died in 1889. His daughter, Winnie then inherited the property and when she died in 1998, Varina, Jefferson Davis' widow inherited the property. Mrs. Davis sold the property to the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans with two stipulations. The first was that the property be used for a Confederate Veterans Home for the veterans and or their widows at no charge to them and that was done from 1903 until 1957 when the last three widows were transferred to a private nursing home in Greenwood, Mississippi, when it was no longer practical to keep them at the site. The second stipulation for the sale of the property was that it be used as a memorial to Jefferson Davis and the Confederate Soldier; and that has been done from 1903 until the present time.

The M S Oldenburg was built in Bremen and launched in 1958 for the ferry service to the Frisian Islands. In 1985 it was acquired for the Lundy Island service from Bideford and Ilfracombe in Devon and received a refit at the Appledore shipyard in Devon.
It normally goes to the Sharpness Yard in Gloucestershire each winter for refit where it was photographed on 15th November 2019.

This appears to be a Ms. Pacman arcade machine, but I can't find the "Ms. Pacman" logo on the Internet looking quite like that. It says "Puckman" below the joystick, so I wonder if this was a knock-off version.
