It's going to be weird for our Anne Robinson, 81, to wake up tomorrow and find that Ann Robinson, 96, of War of the Worlds fame has passed away. I bet there's going to be some concerned phonecalls.

I need to add a gradient to compounded elements while keeping everything editable. Is this possible?

Black: Original elements. Editable typography, a stroked line, and a shape layer.

Gradient: I have to convert the type to outlines, expand the stroke, and make everything a compound path to apply the gradient directly to it.

What I want: Something like a clipping mask that I can apply to all black elements and keep them completely editable while applying a gradient.

Woolton Picture House raises £532,884 of a needed £450,000 to purchase the building. All money now raised will go towards refurbishment to bring the cinema back to life.

A nine-month campaign by locals to raise £450,000 to purchase the historic Woolton Picture House has reached the end credits. Hundreds of individual donors contributed to surge past that total in the final days, with £532,884 being raised by the 8 May deadline.

In a twist worthy of Hollywood itself, a mystery backer stepped in to purchase the building and has agreed a 101-year lease with the fundraisers, Woolton Cinema Community Interest Company, at a peppercorn rent of £19.27 per year. The rent is a nod to the original opening date of the cinema, Boxing Day 1927, and the lease means that it will still be a cinema on its 200th anniversary in 2127.

The incredibly generous last-minute move means that all of the money raised can now go into the refurbishment of the building with plans being drawn up for a new roof with solar panels, full disabled access, new toilets and an adapted front section of the auditorium which will allow for much wider community use. A second phase of fundraising for these ambitious plans will begin in autumn, along with community consultation events to decide on how the building can be refurbished while keeping its classic 1920s look and feel.

The vision for the Picture House is evolving into a true community hub. The first phase of works will take place this summer, mainly to secure the building and make it safe to reopen. There are films planned for October and through Christmas this year, then the bulk of the refurbishment is provisionally planned for 2027.

What's Discord?

Think of Discord like a big Whatsapp group. It's essentially the same thing, but instead of your close friends, it's people looking to be your friend! You don't need a microphone, just your phone/keyboard. All we ask is that you're over 18, and have a desire to make new mates in Liverpool.

Who's in there?

We have members from Liverpool and further afield. You don't have to live in Liverpool to join the server - but it helps! We welcome anyone who has a love of the city. The average age of people is about 28. Our server is different than most Discord servers because we have a genuine community of awesome people who come to stuff in person.

Real life events, real life friends.
