<p>Two major identities in the entertainment industry come together to celebrate and make a change in the dance community.</p>
<p><strong>What</strong>:  <strong>&#8220;Spirit of Dance&#8221;</strong> The Launch of the &#8220;Tre’ Armstrong Give Back Foundation&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Who:</strong> TV Personality, Actress, Dancer and Choreographer Tre’ Armstrong</p>
<p><strong>When:</strong> Monday August 15, 2011</p>
<p><strong>Where:</strong> The Spoke Club – 600 King Street W – 4th Floor, Toronto</p>
<p><strong>Time:</strong> 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM</p>
<p><strong>Media Reception:</strong> 5:45 PM</p>
<p><strong>Sponsored by</strong> <strong>Ubisoft and Just Dance®. Just Dance® </strong>is the world&#8217;s most popular dance game. <strong>Just Dance®</strong> will launch its third title, <strong>Just Dance® 3</strong>, worldwide on October 11.</p>
<p><strong><br />
<strong>Tré Armstrong </strong></strong>has  propelled her passion for dance, her work  ethic and her spirit into a  successful career.  The in demand  choreographer, actress and TV  personality is a proven entity in the  entertainment industry, working  with some of music industries biggest  artists.   And now, for <strong>Tré</strong> the journey continues.  On August 15th, Tre’, together with The Spoke Club, will launch the <strong>&#8220;Tré</strong><strong> Armstrong Give Back Foundation&#8221; </strong><strong>a registered not-for-profit operating foundation</strong>.    Its mission is clear, to make dance and creative artistic expression   accessible to the youth across Canada, that may otherwise not have the   opportunity, and to inspire their artistic hopes, dreams and passions.     Dance empowers you and <strong>Tré</strong> wants to give that empowerment to  all youth, regardless of their  circumstances and in some cases, because  of just who they are! The  Foundation will focus on developing life  skills through enjoyable youth  programming and performing arts at the  community level alongside  educational classes and seminars, promoting  continued learning along  with the development of key life and social  skills. <strong>The Tré Armstrong Give Back Foundation believes </strong>every child should be allowed to explore their inner &#8220;spirit of dance.&#8221;</p>

Testimonials from students at Lakeshore Collegiate Institute who participated in the SFA &#8220;Real 2 Reel&#8221; after school film program. The programs aim was to give students basic skills in  film and music recording. The interesting thing about this program and how it evolved was that the space we created turned into a peer support group where students could talk about pressing issues regarding school, family, love and relationships. Something the students felt like the school board doesnt provide during school hours. We definitely enjoyed working this group of young people, hopefully the Stolen From Africa Real 2 Reel program will continue next school year.</p>

<p><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Osiris_E3753_mp3h8689.jpg"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.gadling.com/media/2011/05/400px-osirise3753mp3h8689.jpg" alt="ancient art, Egypt" /></a>Egyptian police have recovered four stolen statues, two of which were taken from Cairo&#8217;s Egyptian Museum, <a href="http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/9/44/11229/Heritage/Museums/Four-more-artefacts-are-back-in-the-Egyptian-museu.aspx">Ahram Online reported</a>.</p>
<p>Two of the statues were among several items that went missing when <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2011/02/14/tutankhamun-statue-and-other-artifacts-stolen-from-egyptian-muse/">rioters broke into the Egyptian Museum</a>.  The other two were apparently looted from somewhere else, perhaps an  archaeological site. There were scattered incidents of looting from  several museums and archaeological sites across the country during the  January Revolution, and the extent of the thefts remains unclear.</p>
<p>The statues are all of bronze and depict important gods such as Osiris,  god of the afterlife, pictured here in an image courtesy of user <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Osiris_E3753_mp3h8689.jpg">Rama</a> via Wikimedia Commons. This is not one of the recovered statues.</p>
<p>The statues date to the Late Period, a period dating from 664 BC to the  death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. This era saw a final flowering  of Egyptian art and religion before it went through a long period of  domination and decline under Greeks and Roman rule. When the <a href="http://www.gadling.com/2010/09/21/the-death-of-paganism-how-the-roman-empire-converted-to-christi/">Roman Empire converted to Christianity</a>, poor old gods like Osiris were slowly forgotten.</p>
<p>The thieves possessing the <a href="http://www.gadling.com/tag/ancientart">ancient art</a> were arrested. Of the 54 objects missing from the museum, 23 have been recovered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.grassrootsyouth.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/laws.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2296" title="laws" src="http://www.grassrootsyouth.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/laws.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>Dudley Laws, the black activist known for his curly silver locks and his acid tongue, died Wednesday after a long battle with kidney disease. He was 76.</p>
<p>Mr. Laws gained prominence when he called police to account for a number of shootings of young black men in Toronto in the 1980s. Not one to mince words, he once called Toronto Police the most murderous in North America.</p>
<p>Born in Jamaica, Mr. Laws immigrated to England at age 20 and attended Kensington College, where he trained as a welder and boiler-maker. His community activism began in London’s Brixton neighbourhood before he moved to Toronto in 1965, where he joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Later he co-founded the Black Action Defense Committee with lawyer Charles Roach and Denham Jolly, who went on later to found a Toronto black radio station, Flow 93.5 FM.</p>
<p>Mr. Laws took a prominent role in a downtown march in May, 1992, following the acquittal of four white Los Angeles police officers in the beating of Rodney King, and the shooting by Toronto police of a black drug suspect. Mr. Laws led a demonstration that began peacefully in front of the U.S. consulate on University Avenue, but then turned into a riot when about 1,000 black and white youth went on a rampage, smashing store windows and looting businesses. Police blamed him for the mayhem, but he refused to apologize.</p>
<p>“You can never control a people who have been brutalized,” he said.</p>
<p>In 1991 police arrested Mr. Laws and charged him with conspiring to smuggle illegal immigrants in and out of Canada. He was convicted and fined, but the Ontario Court of Appeal ordered a new trial after learning that the trial judge had met privately with prosecutors. The Crown later stayed the charges.</p>
<p>Then in 1995 he was charged with raping a young girl; he was acquitted. He later called both court cases a campaign to silence him. If there were one, the campaign failed; in the 1990s he continued to raise his voice in defence of the black community.</p>
<p>Councillor Michael Thompson, vice-chair of the Toronto Police Services Board, said the police have become more sensitive to the communities they serve, thanks in part to Mr. Laws’ efforts.</p>
<p>“People didn’t always agree with his methods,” Mr. Thompson said. “Still, I think history can judge him as an agent of positive change between police and the black community. He exemplified a real desire that all people be treated fairly and with respect.”</p>
<p>In 2000, Mr. Laws told the <em>National Post</em> that, “The worst thing to do in life is to live in fear. I have no fear at all. If one becomes afraid, you can’t do your work. You’ll be looking over your shoulders and be afraid to say what you want to say.”</p>
