"The Jazz Alphabet" Debuts; Dig Those ABC’s!

From Louis Armstrong to Joe Zawinul, "The Jazz Alphabet" celebrates 26 jazz artists in pictures and words. In addition, there are depictions of Chicago's Green Mill Lounge and New York City's Birdland. Every musician appears as both a visual portrait (with hand lettered quotes by or about the artist), and a written appreciation. The result, as award-winning illustrator Scott Gustafson says, is "a blending of portraiture, words, caricature and letterforms into a unique and loving tribute." To read more about the book, go to their website.

Neil recently appeared on the PBS program "Chicago Tonight" to speak about the book and his inspiration to create it. More info here.

On International Women's Day, Nonprofit CEO Reminds That Gender Equality Begins By Fighting World Poverty

Next Friday, as attention turns toward building a more gender-balanced world in recognition of International Women's Day, one organization -- Children International – is squarely focused on battling the number one problem that upsets that balance. Poverty continues to hold back the life progress and empowerment of women around the world.

All told, one billion children live in poverty. For girls raised in developing countries, growing up can be particularly harsh. Worldwide, 31 million girls ages 5 to 11 are out of school, and only three quarters of girls finish secondary education. The education outlook worsens in poorer countries, where only one third of girls make it that far and where the world's highest rates of child marriage occur. In Mexico, for example, traditional gender roles play a significant factor in educational outcomes: 83% of girls (under 18) who marry drop out of school, compared to just a 15% dropout rate for unmarried girls. Be alert to read related news.

Susana Eshleman, president and CEO of Children International, a global humanitarian organization, sees International Women's Day and its theme of #BalanceforBetter as an opportunity to raise awareness for bringing real and lasting change to the health and welfare of girls and all children living in poverty.

"Poverty keeps girls and young women trapped in situations where they have no power over their own lives," Eshleman said. "Having grown up in Argentina and traveled to every continent, I have seen the harsh reality of poverty. It deprives children of their fundamental rights to health, education and safety and squanders their potential. This is not OK with me."

In partnership with its supporters, Children International works to eradicate poverty by providing a long-term, holistic approach to invest in the lives of youth. The nonprofit operates 67 community centers in 10 countries, from Colombia to Zambia, with more than 9,000 volunteer and local staff who coordinate programs aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty. Currently, more than half of the participants in most programs are female, and a wide range of those programs are designed to give girls and women a fighting chance to take control of their lives and break the generational cycle of poverty.

"By providing education scholarships and job training, as well as teaching essentials such as preventive measures for substance abuse and reproductive health, we can make a difference in the lives of girls," Eshleman said. "For many, Children International is their transformative path out of poverty."

Founded in 1911, International Women's Day is a global day (this year on Friday, March 8) that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, while also marking a call to action for driving gender balance.

About Children International
Children International, based in Kansas City, Missouri, is a leader in the movement to eradicate poverty. From toddler to young adulthood, the organization surrounds kids with a caring team, a safe place and a clear path out of poverty through programs focused on health, education, empowerment and employment. Its supporters are inspired as they see children radically change their lives and create a ripple effect that impacts families and communities for generations to come.

Say Hello to Armz, Gearbugs Corps.'s Latest Smart Toy Invention

Gearbugs Corp. just announced that they are raising funds via Kickstarter to finish the development and production of Armz, a smart toy that can be customized to play various types of game modes. The company set out to raise $10,000 on Kickstarter to finish development and produce the first batch of their latest smart toy invention.

Armz is a new, smart toy that is designed to be highly customizable. The heart and soul of Armz is the Smart Core™ which contains the motors and mechanisms that allow it to move, speak, and light up. In addition to the Smart Core™, Armz also comes with five different arm attachments that can transform the core into a personalized toy. Read all the related news.

Gearbugs Corp has also developed an app that will be available on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. By syncing the app to the Armz via bluetooth, players will be able to access multiple game modes that match one of the five attachments. The current lineup of game modes include the following: Remote Control Racing, Steering Wheel Racing, Sumo Wrestling, and Tank Battle.

While the gaming feature is one of the main features of Armz, it also meant to be much more than just a simple toy. When Armz is not out on the field for matches, it can be placed on its charging dock to serve as a mood lamp or night light. Users can also customize the voice of Armz with their own recording and program it to act as a virtual home assistant. Finally, a blockchain coding mode is also available to act as an educational tool to teach basic coding. Click here.

With all of the available features, Armz users are able to put their imagination to the test by referring to the blueprint on the application and creating their own side attachments via 3D printing technology. As users get more accustomed to Armz's capabilities over time, people may find that there are certain attachments that are not yet available that may enhance the performance of Armz.

Any influencers or journalists interested in receiving a sample and reviewing Armz are encouraged to submit an inquiry through its Kickstarter page.
