– Medics rushed a 10-year-old victim to an area hospital after a fire broke out at a mobile home in Davie
The fire broke out Monday afternoon in the 600 block of Southwest 132nd Terrace in the Western Hills Estates neighborhood
A family of 12 that includes six children who lived in the home are now displaced
One of those kids is 10-year-old Isaiah Salome
His aunt says the fire started in his room
“Around 4 o’clock I heard a pop go off,” said Alexandrea Vallejo
my nephew ran out of his room and the whole room was already on fire
the flames were too big to put out so we just had to get everybody out of the house.”
Home surveillance video shows Salome hosing himself down
his skin is red and his aunt said he suffered second degree burns to his arms and legs
She said she believes he was trying to plug something in his room when the fire started
but their home is uninhabitable and now they are left to pick up the pieces and find a new place to stay
that everybody got out safe and half of the kids weren’t home when it happened,” said Vallejo
She added that she believes Salome will make a full recovery
A Davie Fire Rescue spokesperson said the victim was taken for treatment as a trauma-alert patient
“Crews are on scene actively working this incident and the American Red Cross has been requested to assist affected residents,” Fire Marshal Robert Taylor

Davie reveals how learning self-production led her to her debut EP
The journey to releasing this EP has felt like an eternity
but it felt like things just never quite clicked when I went into the studio to record
I didn’t truly know what my produced music should sound like – how do I make it sound like me
I approached production by showing collaborators my song on acoustic guitar
and trying to explain my folk/indie/pop vision without any real technical understanding of how it could be achieved
music has been in my life since primary school
but being primarily immersed in acoustic genres (folk
jazz and classical) meant I learnt very little about record production
a vital aspect of the modern musician’s career
I was overwhelmed by all the creative choices to be made
and the limitlessness of what could be achieved in the studio
I felt totally unqualified to answer these questions
I deferred decisions to my predominantly male producers or collaborators and placed myself in the backseat
I started to realise that this conceding to others’ opinions was letting me down
I began unpacking this bias toward my own capability; this belief that as a female singer-songwriter
I needed to rely on someone else to make or break my music
It’s easy to see how this idea could be formed
in an industry where gendered perceptions of music technology have accompanied the history of recorded music
contributing to the marginalisation of women from technology-related careers
In a professional studio already wrapped in power dynamics
I questioned how a female singer-songwriter with limited technical knowledge can ensure her creative voice is defended

investigating how self-production can affect the female singer-songwriter’s creative process
to go down rabbit-holes without fear of judgement or wasting others’ time
I could hear what production changes might sound like within the holistic song context
I self-produced demos of six potential tracks and brought them to the wonderful Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music)
who re-recorded them with my band into an EP (even keeping some elements I recorded at home)
This journey taught me I didn’t need to become completely self-sufficient to create songs I could be proud of
What I needed was a deeper understanding of
This empowered me to truly collaborate with Sam
warmth and skill made each song better than it would have been without him
I feel as though I finally found my seat at the table

Davie Louis Mabine, affectionately known as David to his close family and friends, was born in Bertie, North Carolina, on March 23, 1931, to the late Theodore and Caroline Mabine. He was born the sixth child of thirteen. He would often say, “Being squished with 6 siblings on top of him and 6 siblings under him helps develop his character.” David was very strong physically and mentally. He loved exercising his body and mind.
David educated himself, for he only made it to the first grade. He could do any math up to calculus. He was a bookworm, he read all kinds of books. He was a great help to us when we needed help with math or with writing a report. When we wrote a report paper, our English had to be on point.
David was a Master in Chess, Checkers, and Dominoes. He loved playing all kinds of word and mind games, and 98% of the time, he won.
David was a Professional Harmonica Player and would sing over anyone who sang one of his favorite songs.
David married his wife, Grace Mabine, in 1954, and she went home in 2015. They also raised their nephew, Reggie, who is also deceased. He is survived by his beautiful sister, Zenora Watford, whom he loved deeply, and a host of nieces and nephews, great, great-great, great-great-great!!!!!!!!!
Thinking of you and Aunt Gracie. I have loving memories of you both throughout my childhood.
Elder David was always such a positive person and made you feel like you mattered. I loved his recital of Scriptures and Poems and playing the harmonica. He loved the Word and Name of Yahweh. His posture of The Faith and outlook on life reflected positivity even to his last days. I miss him and Sister Gracie Mabine. Together they were so loving and lovely. Rest in Yahshua, rest in Yahshua.
My. fondest memories as a child Uncle David and Aunt Gracie loved to listen to Country music, watch Hee Haw and the Lawrence Welk show. Uncle David was a great singer. As a child i never heard him raise his voice. He was always cordial. I’m thankful that God put him in the family. He was truly a blessing to have. God blessed him with long life. Now he’s resting in His peace. Lifting the family in prayer of comfort during this.
Uncle David you got your wings and now you’re spiritually free. You were such a kind, caring, and funny man. Cracking jokes,especially about my teaching the kids in school. You always made time for family. You and aunt Gracie were a loving couple. Take your rest. I will miss you but I know you are alright now. May God comfort the family with love.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has listed his lakeside mansion in Davie for $3 million
just five years after buying the home as a rookie
Leer en español
The listing states that the community is guarded 24/7 and sits about 25 minutes from Hard Rock Stadium
the same year the Dolphins drafted him fifth overall
But security concerns may be behind his decision to move
the quarterback revealed that two of his cars were broken into on his property while his family was inside the house
The close call prompted him to hire armed private security
“My house had gotten broken into — not necessarily the house
but one of my cars — and it was a little too close for my comfort with my family being in the house,” Tagovailoa said at the time
“So we got personal security to take care of all that when we’re on the road
We’ve got someone with my wife and someone at the house surveying the house.”
Tagovailoa added a warning to would-be intruders a day after the incident occurred: “Just to let that be known — they are armed
Tagovailoa signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension in 2024
which included a $42 million signing bonus
His $53.1 million average annual salary ranks sixth among NFL quarterbacks

NEWS: Long-Delayed USCG Polar Icebreaker Moves Into Full Production
The Canadian government has awarded contracts to Chantier Davie Canada (Davie) Inc
and Seaspan’s Vancouver shipyard to construct two new polar icebreakers as part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS)
The Canadian government said in a press release that the move reinforces the country’s commitment to Arctic sovereignty
Canada’s Minister of Public Services and Procurement
will receive a $3.25 billion contract to construct one of the Canadian Coast Guard’s (CCG) new polar icebreakers
has been awarded a $3.15 billion contract to construct the other polar icebreaker
Seaspan is set to begin construction in April 2025
Seaspan noted in a press release that this vessel will be the first heavy polar icebreaker built in Canada in over 60 years
Both icebreakers are expected to be among the most advanced vessels in their class
designed to operate year-round in the high Arctic in temperatures as low as -58°F
The Government of Canada noted these ships will provide critical support for Indigenous communities
The Seaspan-built vessel will measure 518’x92’
featuring over 40 megawatts of installed power
Seaspan completed the ship’s functional design in 2024
working in collaboration with Finnish Arctic vessel design specialists
Davie’s Polar Max will be constructed with expertise from Helsinki Shipyard, which Davie acquired in 2023. The Québec-based shipbuilder said it will implement a workforce exchange program, enabling Canadian workers to gain firsthand experience from Finnish shipbuilders. Davie is also investing over $200 million in modernizing its shipyard and supporting local suppliers.
WorkBoat reached out to both shipbuliders for further specs on the new vessels.
The Canadian government said the two projects are expected to create thousands of jobs across Canada
engaging over 1,000 local shipbuilders at Seaspan and accelerating hiring at Davie
A Deloitte economic analysis found that Seaspan has already contributed $5.7 billion to Canada’s GDP from 2012 to 2023
“The polar icebreaker will allow us to operate in the Arctic year-round
delivering crucial services to Northern communities while strengthening Canada’s sovereignty,” said Diane Lebouthillier
The Candian government noted in November 2024
the three countries signed an ICE Pact Memorandum of Understanding to deepen existing cooperation
strengthen their shipbuilding industries and allow new equipment and capabilities to be produced more quickly
“These 3 key Arctic countries will work more closely together to engage our allies and partners to help meet future global demand for Arctic and polar vessels.”

“This fellowship will accelerate the development of advanced AI tools to detect not just conventional planets
but also exotic and unconventional transit signatures including potential technosignatures.”
The SETI Institute is grateful to John Davie
who supports the Davie Postdoctoral Fellowship
Davie reached out to the SETI Institute out of curiosity about its research
he wanted to be part of creating a meaningful impact
but I love space and am also enamored with the potential of AI,” said Davie
“It dawned on me one morning that AI deployed against massive historical data sets could find hints of life
I’m proud to partner with the SETI Institute to help foster breakthroughs that could reshape our understanding of distant worlds and technologically advanced life on them.”
Instruments like TESS and Kepler have accelerated advances in exoplanet detection but have also generated enormous datasets
Supervised CNN-based classification pipelines have proven highly effective at identifying planetary signals while filtering out systematics and stellar variability
these methods are evolving beyond conventional transit profiles toward more sophisticated anomaly-detection frameworks—such as autoencoders and clustering—capable of identifying unusual candidates
including ringed or disintegrating objects
and complex multi-planetary systems that deviate from standard spherical transit models
The Davie Postdoctoral Fellow will conduct impactful research at the intersection of machine learning
driving the next generation of exoplanet discoveries
This includes searching for megastructures to potentially address the age-old question: “Are we alone in the universe?”

– More law enforcement agencies are tapping into tech and embracing virtual reality as part of training nationwide
and now officers here in South Florida will have to make it through those programs
The stressful simulations are meant to sharpen your senses
It’s a brand new program that all Davie Police Department officers now have to go through
Local 10 News’ Andrew Perez signed up for the training to get a firsthand look at what it takes
First up was Axon’s virtual reality simulator
The instructor sets the boundaries and physically creates the space trainees will travel
and officers are put through a variety of other scenarios
They sharpen their skills in community engagement
even responding to a mental health crisis or an issue to deescalate
The MILO simulation system uses weighted weapons
It’s all dynamic training designed to help officers make split second decisions
Many big agencies are also moving toward VR as a cost effective way to sharpen those senses
