Venture Sport
Association for Physical Education Grants Prestigious Award
Physical Education at Ormiston Venture Academy was recently assessed and awarded the prestigious Association for Physical Education (afPE) Quality Mark, which recognizes its outstanding commitment to PE. This is the first time the award has been given to a secondary school in the county of Norfolk.
It is awarded for both the quality of PE in a school's curriculum and for its commitment to extracurricular sport. Venture undertook a rigorous self-evaluation and a review process to get this award, which involved a visit from the Chairman of the afPE.
The Quality Mark recognises the exceptional and innovative practice of the PE Curriculum at Venture. It will further raise the profile of the school's PE Department which saw one of its alumni, Jessica-Jane Applegate, win a gold medal for swimming at the Paralympic Games just after finishing her studies at Venture in 2012.
The afPE Quality Mark is the benchmark and industry standard for high quality in PE and the achievement demonstrates the continuous hard work that is being undertaken on a day to day basis at Venture.

Contact the Academy PE staff for further details regarding Venture Sport firstname.lastname@example.com
GCSE PE, BTEC Sport and Sports Leader courses run at Venture. GCSE PE consists of Athletics, Fitness, Football, Netball, Rounders, Rounders Refereeing and Trampolining.
The Sports Leader Course is a chance for students to have some responsibility within Physical Education in the Academy. It is a chance to show off their coaching skills, organisational skills and their ability to teach others. Sports Leaders work with younger students both in and outside of the Academy and are positive role models. This could be their first stepping stone towards becoming a PE teacher, sports coach, team manager, personal trainer or something else related to sport. Contact Miss Ermini for further information.

Don't be so touchy. Complaints qualify as feedback, just more spirited. More valuable as well, because complaints are like giant signposts pointing to the areas of your business where there is room for improvement. It surprises me how often designers will attempt to strike back when anyone has the nerve to complain. Even when the client is wrong, a complaint indicates that we need to communicate/educate better to avoid misunderstandings.
By the way, we all have clients who complain all the time. Those may be ignored.

There are many ways you can determine whether an online pharmacy is legitimate or counterfeit. Look at the below ways so as to help yourself in ascertaining the authenticity of a drugstore.
- Focus on the credentials
An internet drug store is supposed to have a number of credentials in order to be able to sell drugs and other prescription medications to customers across the globe. The first and most important thing you need to check is that if it is registered with General Pharmaceutical council or not. The General Pharmaceutical Council is an independent body that regulates the trading of different pharmacies. If a particular internet drugstore has been registered with them, it has the following details in their register:
- Trading name
- Owner's name
- Current address
- Logo of the internet pharmacy
- GPhC registration number
The online pharmacy you choose to purchase drugs from should have a logo and "Registered Pharmacy" should be written on it along with the registration number, otherwise it is a fake site.
- Be cautious of the free trials
If you did not know what a counterfeit online pharmacy means, then any offer for free pills or trial packs is a dead giveaway. There are certain internet drugstores that offer medicines for a very low price. This is a kind of tactic used by the store in an attempt to attract more customers and selling to them spurious medicines. These adulterated meds were even known to have paint, acid and brick dust. Most of the reputable drugstores do not supply free trial packs not only for financial reasons but for legal reasons too.
- Understand that medicines cannot be availed without a prescription
Medicines that are meant for treating major disorders or conditions cannot be availed without issuing a prescription to the pharmacist either on internet or offline. In order to obtain the drug legally, you need to consult online doctor and get prescribed for the drug to treat your respective medical condition.
For instance, in the year 2010, a scheme was announced wherein Viagra could be issued to patients though they did not own a prescription. Yet, the drug was not given to the patients just like that. They had to answer a series of questions that were related to their ED condition and only if the patient was able to answer to the question properly, they were given the ED pill Viagra.
However, in this case, Viagra was not made available to patients over the counter. Those websites that are offering to sell medications to patients even without asking for a prescription, are in fact operating outside the law. In order to sell medicines to those patients who do not have a prescription, the store must provide a means so as to enable the patients to be able to procure a prescription through an assessment with a registered and qualified doctor. Therefore, you should not trust those sites that appear to furnish you the drugs even if you do not have a prescription to get those medicines. This is a sign of counterfeit store.
- Understand that pharmacists need not present themselves professionally
There are many sites that have poor content or have improper information about the medicines they sell. Many people actually overlook this important information and end up in buying drugs from illegitimate and counterfeit online drugstores. One must be very careful and pay attention to the minute details available on the site so as to know everything about the drugstore and why to choose a Rx online pharmacy over local pharmacy from where you will be purchasing the medicines.
If a website does not include any contact information, not even an email address, then you should become alert that this particular site is a kind of fake. Also, if you notice that the site has poor language, spelling errors or grammatical mistakes, then it is likely that the site is not a reputable one.

College History
The history of Lutheran Education in Geelong dates back to 1854 when the Lutheran Church established a school at Grovedale.
This school remained as a Lutheran School until 1868 when it then became State School No. 283 which is now known as Grovedale Primary School. St Paul's Lutheran Congregation has since established and continues to operate a successful kindergarten at its church site in Grovedale.
In 1962 St John's Parish commenced a primary school on the former Geelong Grammar site on the corner of Pakington and Aberdeen Streets, Newtown. St John's School is now a vibrant and well-respected Kindergarten to Year 6 School.
For many years the opportunity to establish a Lutheran secondary educational facility in Geelong has been recognised. Additionally, the recent trends in education to offer P-12 schooling intensified the demand for Lutheran schooling, culminating with the founding of Geelong Lutheran College.
Mr Gary Jewson was appointed as Principal of the College in January 2008. Fifty-seven children began at the College on the first day of school in 2009 and in 2017, enrolment has expanded to welcome more than 529 students to the School. An ultimate enrolment of 950 students will be expected once the site has been developed to full capacity. Gary Jewson, who has a long history with St John's Lutheran School in Newtown, is involved in strategic planning for both schools with Heads of Schools responsible for the day-to-day administration. This structure ensures the continuation of the quality Christian education across both school sites into the future.

We all must deal with stress in our lives, whether it is at work or in our personal lives. Healthy people do not necessarily lead trouble-free lives. Healthy people recognize the potential problems and take action to find solutions. HBI's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides an avenue for employees to deal with life stressors and take the first step toward a healthier and more productive life.
HBI's LifePoint™ EAP is designed to help members deal with their problems in the workplace or as well as their personal lives. We recognize that every individual is an integral part of their work environment and therefore, HBI's EAP program strategies are designed to work with company supervisors, EAP coordinators, benefit consultants, and human resources departments to develop the optimal benefits that are custom-tailored to the needs of the company and its members.
Program emphasis is not only on treating existing problems, but also on creating awareness and teaching skills that an employee can utilize in order prevent serious emotional and physical health problems. It promotes a safe environment for conflict resolutions, which in turn promotes morale and productivity, strengthens family, friend, and work relationships, and decreases work related injuries. In the long run, prevention is more effective that treatment alone.
Your confidentiality is assured when you participate in HBI's LifePoint™ EAP. Your information is never provided to your employer without your written permission and your EAP records are kept confidential by law.
Contact your company's personnel department to find out if EAP services are available in your workplace.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. may be the best sitcom in the history of television, but hey, what's ever perfect? Even as one can watch it over and over again, laugh out loud each time and fall in love with the characters all over again, there are some things that are not quite right. Yes, there are some filming mistakes – mostly continuity issues – though most people tend to overlook them. Here's a list of hilarious filming mistakes you probably completely missed on F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
In the early episodes of the show, Monica's apartment is marked as number 5 on the door. But the producers soon realised that is illogical for an upper-level-floor apartment in a large block to be so. They then changed it to number 20, and what can you say, barely anyone noticed. To keep things real, Chandler and Joey's apartment which is was earlier number 4, also changed to number 14.
If anyone paid full attention, they would realize that the ages of all characters are subject to change. Based on the plotline, punch-line and what's going on, their age is determined, messing up the overall consistency. Like in "The One Where They're Going to the Party", Joey states all the boys are of the same age – 29 years. In "The One With the Birth", Monica says she is 26, and Joey 25. If Ross too is 25, how's he Monica's older brother? Curiouser and Curiouser.
Here's another one where the filming crew clearly forgot that Joey is quite adorable and many eyes are going to be on him in any given scene. So, in "The One With the Late Thanksgiving", he appears with a huge food stain on his shirt, which in the very same scene, seems to gradually sink in size. Maybe it's not the crew's fault, maybe they just wanted to show off a self-cleaning shirt they had on set.
Another one of those more obvious mistakes where you wonder how anyone – the makers or the watchers – may have missed it. In "The One With a Dozen Lasagnas", Rachel pulls out a huge amount of kitchen roll which gets scattered around Monica's spotless kitchen. In the same scene, a few cuts later, the paper towels are seen hanging neatly in place in the background. Those are some maniacal paper towels with a will of their own apparently.
Remember "The One With the Male Nanny"? Well how can one forget that for the "manny" was none other than the gorgeous Freddie Prinze Jr.! In that episode, he puts up a puppet show for Emma and what a show it is! The puppets switch hands in the same scene, without any recorded exchange. Super Manny had some skills; now we get why Rachel didn't want to let him go.
It is a fact, if you follow what all they manage across the series. Not only did he have a self-cleaning shirt, he also had one that changed colour and style, one scene to the next. In "The One With Rachel's Inadvertent Kiss", when Joey is in Ross's building searching from the "Hot Woman", his shirt changes from a dark-wine coloured office shirt to a black zip-up casual one, in the time that the lady-hunt was on. Magic shirt, indeed!
Here's another mystery – the case of the vanishing finger. It's not as sinister as it sounds. In the early episodes, Joey, Ross and Chandler go to a New York Rangers game. Ross is originally seen cheering with a form finger on one hand. In the same scene later on, the foam finger is no longer in sight. The mystery isn't about where it went but how an entire team of show-makers forgot about a giant foam finger.
Rachel has a penchant for the expensive things in life, and we can see that in the clothes, shoes and jewellery she sports every season. While we may have been observing every item on her body, it seems the makers of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. were not quite as thorough. In fact, in "The One Where Ross Finds Out" Rachel is working at Central Perk and while chatting with her gang, a necklace suddenly appears on her which wasn't there just a minute back. Rachel got some serious necklace funk!
Emma's first birthday was quite an occasion! But it seems like the onscreen celebration left the filming crew a little too excited and that's why this happened; in "The One With the Cake", one of the stage lights is visible within the frame, hanging from the ceiling. But since this was a party episode, we won't be too critical of this error – the lights could just have been a special dose of brightness for Emma!
One of the funniest jobs that anyone on the show has had, Monica's stint at the themed restaurant had us all in splits. But while she wore the fake breasts and cruised along on skates, the makers of the show probably placed mats on the set for her safety. While that was extremely nice of them, that one of these mats is visible in "The One With the Chick and the Duck", isn't. Tsk, tsk – looks like someone forgot to do their editing!
In another one of the episodes, true to form, Monica returns to her apartment after doing some laundry. When she knocks on the door, her hand is bare. But when Ross opens the door, the view from inside shows Monica with a sock on her hand. So what happened there? Does Monica have magical powers so that she was able to make a sock manifest and glove her hand? We are still trying to find out.
Amongst the list of things on set that seem to do a lot of bizarre things like clean themselves, change colour and vanish or manifest randomly, an eerie door needs be added too. In one of our favourite Richard-episodes, Monica is seen wiping Richard's shirt, and his muscular chest is what everyone is staring at, obviously. But if you look behind you'll notice that the bedroom door that was closed when Monica started wiping, is closed by the time she finishes. Now who did that? Spooky!
When we all watched "The Last One", it was one serious tear fest right? Maybe that's why a lot of us didn't notice this; when Monica and Chandler hold the babies for the first time, Chandler has no hospital wristband on. A while later in the same scene, he's wearing one on his left wrist. It's clearly not the hugest error and we can overlook it – after all, who even notices these things when they're furiously dabbing their eyes with tissues all through the episode!
In "The One With The Mugging", Joey is not being his gluttonous self when he picks out half a dozen drinks from Monica's fridge. He needs them for his audition and we all know why. The problem is, mid-way through the scene, the beverages he is holding change –the exchange of orange juice and diet-soda is easily recognizable and the other drinks too, though not clearly visible, seem to have changed. Nice touch!
Like many other mysterious happenings on the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. film reel, here's another one from "The One With Princess Consuela". Mike and Phoebe are discussing a change of names and our favourite hubby Crap Bag is wearing a scarf. Now this scarf is something special. One moment it is untied. And when the shot cuts back from another angle, voila! It has tied itself up. Miraculous!

The aim for this homebrew project is to produce an American amber ale that offers plenty of malt character with a medium to low caramel level.
Maris Otter, Dark Crystal, Amber and Munch Malts will help me to achieve this.
I'll be using Chinook hops to give a medium hop bitterness whilst also adding a little pine and spiciness to the overall flavour and aroma.
Bringing it all together will be a US West Coast yeast by Mangrove Jacks. I've been getting some pretty consistent results with Mangrove Jacks so aim to use these sachets for the time being.
Here is what I've come up with:-
816g Maris Otter
115g Dark Crystal Malt
22g Amber Malt
22G Munich Malt
Hops – Start – Bittering
2.5g Chinook
Hops – Middle – Flavouring
2g Chinook
Hops – End – Flavouring
5g Chinook
1/4 tsp Irish Moss (Added in the final 15 minutes of boil)
US West Coast (Mangrove Jacks M44)
Cleaning & Sanitising:
Prepare your sanitiser by dissolving 2 teaspoons of powder or dissolving one tablet in 5 litres of water.
Sterilize all equipment including the demijohn, Syphon tubing, airlock, bung, funnel, thermometer and sieve by soaking in the liquid for around 20 minutes.
Try to hold onto this sanitiser solution until the brewing process is complete as you never know when you'll need it.
Heat 2.2 US quarts (2 litres) of water to 71 degrees then add the grain mixture. Stir gently and maintain a temperature of between 62 & 67 degrees for the next hour.
Stir the mixture every 10 minutes until you have reached the 1 hour mark.
With 10 minutes left in the mash, bring the temperature up to 77 degrees. At the same time, start heating up another pan with 4.5 US quarts (4.3 litres) of water to around 77 degrees.
Place the sieve over this second pan and start to pour in the grains. Once all the grains have been poured into the sieve, carefully pour the hot grain mash through the grains.
Then move the sieve onto the empty pan. Gently and evenly pour the 4.5 quarts (4.3 litres) over the grains and recirculate a couple of times.
You can pass the wort through the grain a couple of times to capture as much of the sugary liquid as you can.
Place the pan containing the wort onto a high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Set a timer for an hour and allow to boil until the time is up.
With 60 minutes left on the timer, add the starter hops as listed above, with 30 minutes left, add the middle hops and with 5 minutes left on the clock, add the end hops.
If you're using Irish moss, add this with 10 minutes left on the clock.
Take off the boil ready to cool right down.
Remember, the earlier the hops are added the more bitter the wort and the later the hops are added, the more aroma will come from the wort.
Ensure you have an ice bath prepared somewhere to cool the wort down to around 20 degrees. A bath or a sink will do.
Using a funnel, pour the cooled wort into the sanitised demijohn. Allow a little space at the top as fermentation will cause a krausen to form which could overflow.
I use a filtered funnel which catches all the left over hops and debris.
Pour three quarters of the yeast into the demijohn, then half fill the airlock with some of the left over sanitiser. Attach to the bung and push into the top of the demijohn to create a seal.
Store in a cool and dark place at room temperature and monitor.
After up to 14 days or when the fermentation has finished, sanitise bottles, caps, and syphon using the same principles as above.
Prime the bottles by adding 1/2 teaspoon of sugar per 500ml or 1/4 teaspoon of sugar per 330ml to them.
Using the syphon, disperse the liquid equally amongst the bottles trying not to disturb the sediment in the bottom of the demijohn.
You can control the flow with a clamp mechanism or if your quick enough place the end from one bottle to the other quickly.
Leave a space at the top of each bottle to allow for fermentation within bottle, cap or close the lid then store in a cool and dark place at room temperature for around 2 – 3 weeks.

|[general][qa] Tried to use harmony on a small in-house project; issues follow
|Mon, 21 May 2007 09:20:36 GMT
Hi! I thought you may be interested: here's a recollection of problems I have encountered while trying to use Harmony for a small project at work. First, jmock-based unit tests fail when run under Harmony's JVM. Compiler doesn't seem to matter: both sun's and harmony's work. I have attached a sample program which reproduces the following error: unexpected invocation: foo.frob() expectations: expected exactly 1 time, already invoked 0 times: foo.frob(); returns a default value at org.jmock.internal.InvocationDispatcher.dispatch(InvocationDispatcher.java:54) at org.jmock.Mockery.dispatch(Mockery.java:194) at org.jmock.Mockery.access$000(Mockery.java:34) at org.jmock.Mockery$MockObject.invoke(Mockery.java:221) at org.jmock.internal.InvocationDiverter.invoke(InvocationDiverter.java:27) at org.jmock.internal.ProxiedObjectIdentity.invoke(ProxiedObjectIdentity.java:33) at org.jmock.lib.JavaReflectionImposteriser$1.invoke(JavaReflectionImposteriser.java:34) at $Proxy0.frob(Unknown Source) at SimpleMock.main(SimpleMock.java:21) Second, our java.nio-based network code which works on Sun's JVM throws a SockectExcepion on innocent-looking code: java.net.SocketException at org.apache.harmony.luni.platform.OSNetworkSystem.select(OSNetworkSystem.java:312) at org.apache.harmony.nio.internal.SelectorImpl.selectInternal(SelectorImpl.java) at org.apache.harmony.nio.internal.SelectorImpl.select(SelectorImpl.java:167) at com.shamrock.smf.niosmpp.net.SelectorHandler.run(SelectorHandler.java:156) These exceptions don't seem to affect the application though. They seem to happen after setting OP_WRITE on each interesting selection key. Relevant portion of source code looks like this (unfortunately I cannot provide a short runnable example): while (true) { try { /* register new channels etc. */ synchronized(this.writableKeys) { /* for each key in writableKeys */ if (key.isValid()) { key.interestOps(key.interestOps() | SelectionKey.OP_WRITE); } } selector.select(selectTimeout); Set set = selector.selectedKeys(); /* process selected keys */ set.clear(); } } However, the problem might as well be in buggy application code. Any ideas on how to debug this? Third, VM hard-codes default character set to iso-8859-1 instead of using process' locale settings. Every UTF-8 user then has to manually set file.encoding system property, or otherwise get garbage on console when output does not fit in ASCII. Lastly, is there a native javac adapter for ant? One can use build.compiler=extJavac or write a custom CompilerAdapter, but a drop-in replacement for Sun's javac would be nice. Google even finds an implementation of com.sun.tools.javac.Main in harmony's subversion repo, but it seems to have been removed later (for trademark reasons?). Harmony & OS details: $ java -version Apache Harmony Launcher : (c) Copyright 1991, 2006 The Apache Software Foundation or its licensors, as applicable. java version "1.5.0" pre-alpha : not complete or compatible svn = r533500, (Apr 30 2007), Linux/ia32/gcc 4.1.0, release build http://incubator.apache.org/harmony OS: Debian linux 4.0, kernel: 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP, libc-2.3.6 Thank you. -- Alexey Grigorovich

From North Canton, Ohio, USA:
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a little over a year ago, have been on Glucovance, and I have easily maintained my blood glucose levels around 95-129 mg/dl [5.3-7.2 mmol/L]. Is there any evidence that health problems associated with diabetes will develop even if I always am able to maintain good blood sugar levels?
There is plenty of evidence that good control of your diabetes, as seen by a hemoglobin A1c of less than 6.5%, will greatly reduce your chances of serious complications. Of course there are never any guarantees, but the odds will certainly be in your favor.
Keep up the good work!

Get it off you chest !
Click here to contribute to this web site
Visits to London by top flight European dance companies are few and far between, and when they come the scramble for tickets can be ferocious. The recent visit by Pina Bausch's Tanz Theatre Wuppertal - their first in ten years - was a case in point. Sadlers Wells sold out weeks in advance of the handful of shows and an army of fans was disappointed.
New, aggressively cheap fares by airline companies, however, make it possible to zip over to Europe, catch a show, and head home after breakfast the next morning - and all for the price of a front stalls ticket at Covent Garden and a braised tuna steak afterwards. That's the theory, at least, and I decided to try it out. Ryanair, which offers extravagantly cheap-sounding deals, was my carrier of choice.
The way to buy Ryanair tickets is online (www.ryanair.com). No hideous phone-queue muzak for you, no call-centre staff to pay for them. One of the site's best features is a link to a listings service called DIVENTO (www.divento.com), the brainchild of Fiona Lazareff, former financial analyst, turned magazine editor.
With the click of a mouse you can see which shows, art exhibitions etcetera are playing in each Ryanair destination, check ticket availability, and make an online booking. Within minutes I had narrowed my choice to upcoming performances by Frankfurt Ballet, the La Scala Ballet in Milan, and the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen.
I decided on Frankfurt, where a new William Forsythe piece was premiering. A front stalls ticket at the Opera House, I discovered, costs 30 E (about £'7), less than a third of the Covent Garden price. Clicking back to Ryanair I checked flight availability. Ryanair prices are demand-driven. If you're prepared to pay a couple of months in advance you can fly to Frankfurt and back for £9. If you want to go tomorrow the same trip will cost you up to £32. As each flight-date approaches the flight-cost rises, with daytime and weekend flights filling up first. My return ticket, booked a fortnight ahead, cost £80.
There are add-ons, however. None of their quoted prices include what Ryanair call ³service charges², or taxes. In my case these totalled more than £25, and if you pay for your ticket with a credit card, you'll be charged a further £5. So the effective minimum return price to Frankfurt is actually £50.
You can sort a hotel out online too (www.frankfurt-tourismus.de) and compared to London the prices are low. Singles in the Pension Schneider on Taunusstrasse, a few minutes walk from the Opera House, start at 35 euros (about £20) a night. If you want to spoil yourself with ultra-modern architecture, a swimming-pool and smoked halibut for breakfast, the Hilton on Hochstrasse has singles from 299 E (£160).
But you're not in Frankfurt yet, and if you're flying Ryanair your journey will start with an hour's train ride from Liverpool Street to Stansted. Check in queues are long - I arrived an hour and a half before my departure time of '2:30 pm and found more than 100 people standing in line - and if you're not checked in 30 minutes before departure time you risk getting bumped. Ryanair promise a no-frills flight and that's what they deliver. My fellow-passengers and I were ordered to three departure gates in succession - the third a chairless holding area where we were penned for 25 minutes without apology. The aircraft eventually left an hour and a half late.
It's also essential to find out which airport Ryanair flights actually land at. These tend not to be the main city terminal. Frankfurt flights go to Hahn, almost 2 hours drive from the city. Coaches meet each flight, and for '' E (£6) will deliver you to the Hauptbahnhof, the main railway station - a smooth but uninspiring ride. By the time I arrived at my hotel - about 7:30 pm local time - I had been traveling for eight and a half hours. I had to run to make it to the Opera House on time.
I was glad I did. The performance in the modernist blue auditorium had all the surreal smoulder I had hoped for, and Thom Willems's electronic score slammed into us at a volume that would have dislodged the gilt cupids at Covent Garden. And because the Frankfurt Opera House is properly subsidised by the German government rather than reliant on big business, the audience was full of genuine dance-lovers rather than corporate stiffs. The buzzy atmosphere might also have had something to do with the fact that the champagne cost £2.50 a glass, so you could quite sensibly have four, rather than guiltily have one for £10, as at the Garden.
Afterwards, inspired by the dancers' finely-toned limbs, I addressed a plate of pork-belly and fried potatoes at Wagner's on Schweitzerstrasse. The next morning I visited the Goethe museum, whose painting collection includes Fuseli's sublimely creepy The Nightmare' - a treat for the gothically inclined.
Would I do it again? Yes, if there was something I wanted to see badly enough. The Ryanair process is firm but fair, and with good forward planning it's possible to do the whole thing for £100 - beer, ballet and bed included. But you'll need to write off a day for each journey. And take a very good, very long book.

Today, I am pulling my inspiration from a song and a blog, both of which I love to pieces.
The song is "Cowboy Take Me Away" by the Dixie Chicks. (Ignore the controversy surrounding the Dixie Chicks, please - I don't do political here.) The imagery in the song calls to me on a visceral level. Bluebonnets, a horizon that goes on for miles, the sky reaching forever. The brown earth crumbling as you reach into it, wild things growing in abundance... Isn't it loverly?
Shery's blog inspires me every time I visit. She really brings to life what it is to live connected - with everything. Shery and her beloved (isn't that just loverly in and of itself? That she calls him her "beloved"?) are ranchers in Wyoming. They raise beef cattle. But more than that, they live a life that those of us here in the East can only dream of. Horses, cattle, space galore, surroundings that speak on a spiritual level. Shery is extremely talented, and a multi-tasker of the highest sort. She has her horses (Morgans), which are ultra-important. She raises chickens. She creates her own beautiful jewelry (and was one of the inspirations behind my starting). Her photographs are just divine. Shery is a Junktique-expert. She's a writer with soul and moxie. She blogs for MaryJanes Farm. Please do check out her blog, prepared for beautiful and touching stories of her life in Wyoming, and tell her that I sent you!
Shery built this montage using photographs she herself took in Wyoming. Inspirational, yes? I can see in my minds eye what I'll be creating, using this as inspiration!

Job seekers always seem to assume that the process works perfectly and smoothly on the employer's side. But, speaking as someone who has been on the "other side" of the process, that assumption is often totally wrong. The reason for a long post-interview waiting period has little to do with you. Or it could have everything to do with you.
Without intending, the employer's plans for the timing of the next step in the hiring process are almost always too optimistic. Many things can disrupt the schedule, particularly in large organizations.
Here's are just some the reasons an employer takes so long to respond.
At the start of the process…
Someone Necessary to the Process is Missing
Hiring someone usually involves more than one person, and someone necessary to the process might be missing — out of the office (vacation, illness, death in the family, business travel, fired or quit, etc.) or handling an emergency. Until that person is available, the process waits.
The Other Interviews are Taking More Time than Expected
Whether or not you were the first candidate interviewed, you may be in for some long post-interview waiting. Recruiters schedule and re-schedule interviews with other candidates as necessary people become available and unavailable (see #1).
They Are Getting Ready for the Next Round
Then, they may be scheduling a second (or third or fourth) round of interviews for the people who did well in the early round(s), after they determine who made it to the next round. And, figuring out who gets invited back is often a very complicated process involving meetings, discussions, email, and more meetings and discussions.
After a round (or two) of interviews…
If you've been through one or more rounds of interviews and are still waiting to hear, other things can prolonged post-interview waiting:
They are Working Their Process
They are checking references and running background checks on all the finalists, and waiting for results before they make their decision.
Someone is Missing… Again
Again, someone critical to the process may be unavailable, and nothing goes forward until they rejoin the process.
They Are Restructuring the Job
Someone is holding out for the "perfect candidate" (who didn't apply). They may be discussing re-posting the job or re-structuring it to fit the best candidate they have.
When it is finally time to make an offer…
They told you the interview process is complete — all drug tests, background checks, and everything else is done, and a decision will be made by last week (or even last month). But, you may still be looking at more post-interview waiting because:
More Missing Decision-Makers, Higher Up the Chain
Yet again, someone important in the decision-making may be out of the office or unavailable for some reason. The right people need to approve new hires, often in very specific order up the organization's management chain, and decisions wait until the appropriate approval is received so the paperwork can passed on up to the next level.
Business has Changed Unexpectedly
Perhaps budgets are being juggled because of an unexpected drop in business and/or profits, and they won't contact anyone until they know they can afford to fill the job. Maybe, the job will be changed to something that will be cheaper to fill.
Or, perhaps, business has improved, and them may be able to make multiple offers. Or, possibly, they are considering restructuring the job to a higher level now that they can afford it.
Definitely Restructuring that Job. Probably… Maybe…
Again, they haven't found the perfect candidate or there's been a change in profits, so they are reconsidering the structure of the job. It may end up a perfect fit for you, or not. They won't know until they finish making the changes, and, of course, you won't know until after they do.
Maybe they will decide, in the end, that it's too time-consuming and expensive to re-post and go through the whole interviewing process again, so they'll go with the best candidate they've got. Which could be you, IF you are still available (don't wait, though!).
Waiting for a Decision from Candidate #1. You Are Candidate #2
They could have offered the job to someone else and are waiting for that person to accept (or not). Or are in the process of negotiating the job offer with the person. It isn't over until the person starts the job (sometimes not then, either). If that person doesn't accept the job — or doesn't stay very long — you might well be next in line for the job! Or, you may be completely out of the running, and they don't have the manners to contact you.
Try not to assume the worst — or the best — until you know for sure, or until several months of post-interview waiting have passed with no word and no responses to your efforts to get an answer from them.

Summer skiing in outstanding locations
While most people are still enjoying late summer weather, our FIS alpine athletes started their search for the white gold and good training conditions. European glaciers offer good options, but at this time of the year, lots of teams prefer to travel to the "end of the world" to complete their summer preparation. Chile, Argentina and New Zealand are the favourite destinations; a perfect occasion for us to discover those corners of paradise.
Austrian Ski Team
Different teams, different training options for the Austrian ski teams. While the ladies tech teams are training New Zealdand (Wanaka and in Cardrona), the speed girls are training in Saas-Fee (SUI). On the men's side, Chile is hosting the speed crew and New Zealand is the preferred destination of the tech boys.
Canadian Ski Team
The Canadian ladies are already back from training camp in Ushuaia.
After their camp in Zermatt (SUI), the Canadian cowboys are also heading south to Valle Nevado (Chile).
French Ski Team
Chile (La Parva) is the preferred destination of the French speed team, while the very strong tech team is training in Argentina (Tierra des Fuego).
On the ladies' side, there has been no overseas training yet. Globe winner Tessa Worley has been spotted in Saas Fee.
German Ski Team
Future father Felix Neureuther and his team chose Lake Tekapo in New Zealand for their training.
Andi Sander and the German speed boys are in La Parva to perfect their downhill skills.
The German ladies have been training in Saas-Fee (SUI).
Italian Ski Team
So far, only the slalom men's tech team has travelled to the southern hemisphere for their annual training camp in Cerro Castor (Argentina).
Peter Fill & Co, as well as the ladies' teams around Sofia Goggia, Marta Bassino and Federica Brignone have been training in beautiful Zermat (SUI).
Norwegian Ski Team
Nothing better than home snow. The full Norwegian team, including super-g globe winner Kjetil Jansurd, has been training in Folgefonna beginning of August.
Now, the tech athletes (ladies and men) are training at the Lake Tekapo in New Zealand.
Slovenian Ski Team
The Slovenian men's tech team found perfect winter conditions in Argentina (Cerro Castor and Ushuaia).
Speed skiers like Ilka Stuhec and Bostjan Kline preferred Chile. They are currently training in El Colorado and in La Parva.
Swedish Ski Team
After kicking off the ski training season in Switzerland, the Swedish athletes headed to New Zealand (Treble Cone and Coronet Peak) for a training camp including some racing appointments, like the New Zealand Games, where André Myhrer won the parallel race.
Swiss Ski Team
The Swiss Ski Teams split between three continents. South America is hosting the ladies' teams, with the tech girls training in Ushuaia, Argentina, close the speed ladies who are spending their training camp in La Parva (Chile).
The men on the other site, travelled to Coronet Peak (New Zealand), while the speed team will stay in Europe to mainly train on the home glaciers Saas-Fee and Zermatt.
US Ski Team
Up to the men's speed team, who is training in La Parva (Chile), the American teams found great conditions in New Zealand (Coronet Peak, Lake Ohau, Roundhill Ski Area).

I spent the past year on maternity leave, living in the suburbs without access to a vehicle. When I needed to get out to the grocery store, the mall, a personal appointment or even the local Early Years Centre, my options were to take public transit with a stroller, call on my father-in-law or pre-plan days ahead to get the car from my husband.
Needless to say, I simply didn't get out very often. Seeing my independence diminish ever so slightly and having to rely on others was simply not my style.
Losing your Independence
As a former Case Manager working with seniors in the community, I've witnessed first hand how difficult the transition can be when older adults begin to lose their independence and must start to rely more on others. Some cope better than others but it is never easy.
A Mobility Scooter Can Help
Having matched many clients with their first scooter, I often hear comparisons such as "it's like getting my car back" or "it's like getting a new pair of legs!"
It is the first step to getting up in the morning and being able to decide for yourself what to do (if anything) and where to go that day (if anywhere) – the point here is having the choice.
For the pragmatic folks, yes it means being able to go to the store to get milk and bread, meet up with friends at the coffee shop or simply go to the bank.
But it's more than that.
It's about getting some sense of control over your life at a time when so many changes are happening that is beyond your control. It's about autonomy – making decisions about everyday life, something you've been doing for decades. It's about interacting and being a part of the community again.
All this translates into a healthier, happier you. A more positive outlook on life. A better quality of life. The true definition of well-being.

Phoenix rolled his eyes. "For crying out loud, Larry, can't you fanboy like a regular person? How many internet wives do you have now?"
"I'm serious this time!" Larry declared. "This is the most awesome thing that has ever been awesomed. I love it!"
Phoenix wanted to find a wall and bang his head into it, von Karma style. "It's just the Steel Samurai Kink Meme."
"So? It's still awesome!" Larry clapped Phoenix on the shoulder, hard. "And you're awesome for telling me about it! But since I don't want to marry you, let's just settle for being best friends forever, okay?"
With friends like this, who needs enemies? Phoenix had to wonder.

International Wheat Yield Partnership (IWYP)
The International Wheat Yield Partnership (IWYP) is a long-term collaborative global endeavour to bring together funding from public and private research organizations from a large number of countries. Established in 2012, with a growing list of partners, IWYP supports research in wheat, the most widely grown crop globally. This unique public-private agencies' collaboration aligns with BBSRC's strategic priority in agriculture and global food security.
The goal of the International Wheat Yield Partnership (IWYP) is to increase the genetic wheat potential by 50% by 2025. To do so, IWYP has brought together public and private research organisations around the world, aiming to invest up to US$100 million in research. By fostering these alliances, IWYP provides a new approach to funding and conducting internationally competitive research projects. At their completion, these innovative, high risk projects will substantially boost global wheat productivity and contribute to meeting rising global demand.
IWYP targets six key research areas:
- Uncovering genetic variation that creates the differences in carbon fixation and partitioning between wheat lines
- Harnessing genes from wheat and other species through genetic modification to boost carbon capture and fixation to increase biomass production
- Optimizing wheat development and growth to improve grain yields and harvest index
- Developing elite wheat lines for use in other breeding programs
- Building on discoveries in wheat relatives and other species
- Fostering breakthrough technology development that can transform wheat breeding.
Research projects
IWYP has so far run two competitive research calls. The IWYP 1st call resulted in eight research projects being funded, five of which were led by UK-based research organizations. These projects focused on increasing the efficiency of photosynthesis and unlocking the genetic code behind wheat yield.
The IWYP 2nd call, opened in December 2016 has now closed and the proposals are being assessed. The scope of this second call focused at increasing carbon capture and flow into grains, as well as modifying current breeding methods to produce fast-growing and environment-adaptable wheat hybrids.
IWYP has also collaborated with USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to run a separate NIFA-IWYP Competitive Research Call (PDF) , funding seven NIFA-IWYP research projects. The projects involve various research institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Mexico.
To reinforce its portfolio, IWYP integrates the outputs of eight IWYP aligned projects. These are scientifically excellent research projects funded outside IWYP but within the programme's research scope. This flexible research model ensures the exchange of information and knowledge, and the progress of common research goals.
BBSRC is one of 13 funding and research organisations that support IWYP across seven countries along with: GRDC in Australia, USAID, USDA ARS and USDA NIFA, in USA, DBT in India, AAFC in Canada, INRA in France and SAGARPA in Mexico, Syngenta Foundation (SFSA), the CGIARs, CIMMYT and the Wheat Initiative. Private partners are some of the leading wheat breeding companies in the world, including: Syngenta, Bayer, Pioneer, KWS, Limagrain, Mahyco, RAGT, LongReach and SeedCo.

In fact, the U.S. Department of Justice ranks Houston as one of the most intense trafficking regions in the country. But what to do with child victims of this terrible crime?
We found a place soon-to-be instrumental in the healing process. For security purposes, we've agreed not to disclose its location but we went there to see where these former sex slaves will reclaim their lives.
On 110 acres in the woods north of Houston, sits a place where Kellie Armstrong hopes girls can be girls again.
"We have a school building, we have the main house," said Armstrong, the executive director of Freedom Place. "This will provide hopefully a sense of just peace."
Welcome to Freedom Place, a soon-to-be safe haven for pre-teens and teens rescued from the local sex trade.
"We want them to have an opportunity for them just to feel safe, get the fog, let the fog lift out of their minds so they can focus on themselves and what they need to be whole again," Armstrong said.
The vision is about a year and a half old; it's the work of Arrow Child and Family Ministries of Spring and based on other homes across the country, although this will be the first of its kind in Texas.
"These are very, very vulnerable children," Armstrong said.
According to national runaway studies, there are 6,000 runaways in the Houston area each year. A third are reportedly lured into sex trafficking.
"This is a huge problem," said Laura Lederer, a nationally recognized expert on the subject.
And few cities, says Lederer, know what to do with the children when these operations are broken up.
"They are victims but unfortunately until very recently, we treated them like criminals and I think that's still happening in many cities across the United States," she said.
In fact, most girls rounded up in raids like this one in east Houston last year are sent to juvenile detention simply because there's no other option.
Freedom Place is trying to change that.
"They need a safe place that they can go," Armstrong said.
Volunteers are now applying the last coats of paint, and the rooms are ready.
"We've really girlified it," Armstrong said.

Paper Abstract
We discuss the concept of the direction image multiresolution, which is derived as a property of the 2-D discrete Fourier transform, when it splits by 1-D transforms. The N×N image, where N is a power of 2, is considered as a unique set of splitting-signals in paired representation, which is the unitary 2-D frequency and 1-D time representation. The number of splitting-signals is 3N-2, and they have different durations, carry the spectral information of the image in disjoint subsets of frequency points, and can be calculated from the projection data along one of 3N/2 angles. The paired representation leads to the image composition by a set of 3N-2 direction images, which defines the directed multiresolution and contains periodic components of the image. We also introduce the concept of the resolution map, as a result of uniting all direction images into log2 N series. In the resolution map, all different periodic components (or structures) of the image are packed into a N×N matrix, which can be used for image processing in enhancement, filtration, and compression

7 Signs You Are a Pagan
Are you still searching for your life path? Does modern life appear shallow and superficial? Perhaps you believe that life has more meaning: that it should be sacred yet deeply joyful? Do you wonder if you can ever find a community that shares your values and feels right for you? Maybe you are a pagan.
Paganism is a spiritual nature-based path. It may or may not be religious, depending on the tradition followed. What they all have in common is a reverence for the life force in everything Tthat life, in all its diversity is sacred, and that everything in the Universe is interconnected and interdependent. People called to the pagan path undertake to live life with honesty and integrity.
Above all pagans acknowledge we are all perfect, flaws and all, that human beings are privileged to live on this beautiful planet. They understand that it is our duty to revere and take care of the Earth and the life upon it.
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet, and the winds long to play with your hair . . .— Khalil Gibran
Seven Signs You Might Be a Pagan
- You love being outdoors, you experience joy in all weathers.
- You enjoy observing the seasons change.
- You believe all life is sacred.
- You believe there is a higher intelligence or force, but you are uncomfortable with the accepted notion of God, the Almighty.
- You could describe yourself as 'eclectic'; having an interest in many things.
- You see magic and wonderment in people and in nature.
- You are concerned about several aspects of modern life and despair at cruelty.
What Is Paganism?
Paganism is an umbrella term for many religions and paths. It's confusing in a way, so once you have determined that you'd like to delve deeper, you will need to understand the various kinds of pagans there are:
- Witches are pagans and they may, or may not be, religious.
- Wiccans are pagans and Wicca is a modern religion.
- Druids are pagans and Druidry is an ancient religion.
- Some pagans do magickal workings, others do not.
- Many pagans follow specific traditions, such as Celtic, Nordic, Faerie, or incorporate eastern or classical practices.
Generally speaking, people who define themselves as pagan, follow an earth-based, polytheistic religion. Some honor many deities, others prefer the more general 'God and Goddess'.
However, not all pagans are religious in the accepted sense. Some take a little from this religion and a little from that. Others simply celebrate or mark the seasons in a secular way, and call themselves atheists. Paganism is truly a pick 'n mix path. What they all have in common is a deep respect for nature, our planet, and the divine beauty in the natural cycles which form the structure of life.
I did however used to think, you know, in the woods walking, and as a kid playing the the woods, that there was a kind of immanence there—that woods, a places of that order, had a sense, a kind of presence, that you could feel; that there was something peculiarly, physically present, a feeling of place almost conscious . . . like God. It evoked that.— Robert Creely
Pagan Deities
Pagans honor deities from so many traditions that it would be impossible to list them all here. However, here is a small selection.
- Goddess - usually represented by Mother Earth.
- God - usually represented by Father Sky
- The Green Man - a Celtic personification of a nature god.
- Diana - Roman goddess of the moon and hunting.
- Aphrodite - Greek goddess of love and sexy stuff.
- Zeus - Greek god of everything.
- Artemis - daughter of Zeus and goddess of forests, hills and hunting.
- Baba Yaga - Russian goddess, who takes the form of an old woman.
- Ceridwen - Welsh enchantress, Goddess of rebirth, transformation, and inspiration. She has a fascinating story.
- Brigid - a multi-faceted, Gaelic goddess, honored at Imbolc, usually the 1st February, which is sometimes called St Brigid's Day.
- Freya - Norse goddess of love and fertility.
- Hecate - the Dark goddess, associated with the dead and dark magick.
- Odin - The Norse main man.
Pagans also honor the keepers of the four directions, who are in turn connected to the four ancient elements: fire, water, air and earth. The fifth direction which crosses vertically through the horizontal plane is Divine Spirit, which connects Earth to the heavenly realms.
Natural objects themselves, even when they make no claim to beauty, excite the feelings, and occupy the imagination. Nature pleases, attracts, delights, merely because it is nature. We recognize in it an Infinite Power.— Karl Wilhelm Humboldt
How To Become a Pagan
You don't have to do anything to become a pagan. You simply have to know it. It feels right to you. You can develop your own tradition as you learn what it means. For you, garden witchcraft might be perfect. Perhaps you will choose to acknowledge nature as your connection to the divine? Or perhaps you'd rather the structure of a Wiccan or Druidry group in order to study a formal tradition.
There are many resources and groups online and, if you want to meet up, you can probably find information about local 'moots' (meet-ups). Pagans are generally friendly folk and welcoming to newbies. However, there is often a little political infighting among members of groups—the same as any other organization.

So, how about you? Do you think a pagan path might be the right one for you?
Blessed Be.
Questions & Answers
What's the difference between a pagan and a witch?
All witches are pagans, but not all pagans are witches. Witchcraft is just one path of paganism. Other pagan paths include Druidry and Discordianism. Any earth-based religion or way of life can be labelled paganism.
Witchcraft is classed as paganism, and can also include many varied paths, too many to mention here.
It's a complex topic and well-worth exploring if you are interested.Helpful 1

If the pagan path doesn't need the martial arts of war by defending himself I can be in tune with the Green Man once more.! Or simply put by Jackie Chan : Just shake hands ( Sorry for any confusion, I am leaving footsteps everywhere..! )
Thank you so much for your article! So glad I stumbled by
Eighth sign, I love the way of life that Native Americans lived. I knew that I am a Pagan from my early days. I studied all the religions, and I found that Love is my religion. I believe in The Way of Life that Jesus taught, and I think that he was a Pagan too. Thank you, Bev, for this article.
Oh! my previous posting the new technology being used at out heritage sites.
Apparently it is imaging devices that can x ray the ground without having to disturb the artifacts there in. We hardly knew a portion of what we know now.
Also there were a chain of Neolithic hilltop forts across southern England used as a precaution when needed. Likewise, they are being looked at as well.
Another fine article. You are making me think about stuff I haven't thought of in years. I like it! Thank you.
Limpet here, from 'olde London towne'. Although i've commented on this topic on the many previous hub pages, i find it rather refreshing to see newer content appearing. I might take the opportunity to mention the ongoing archeology 'digs' occurring at Stonehenge on Wiltshire's Salisbury plains. Modern methods have allowed to be revealed much more than we ever knew about neolithic era activities.
I was raised Catholic and stayed that way until I was about 40. Then, things stopped making any sense to me. Just felt wrong. Then someone gave me a book about Wicca by Amber K. And my new life just went from there.
I felt like I was "home."
I am more accurately described as an Eclectic Pagan. No one label fits me.
I've followed that path ever since. I feel better about myself. I feel happier. But I can also feel very sad about the cruelty on this Earth and how we are destroying our home.
The "harm none" aspect is perfect for me. I make every effort NOT to kill something just because I can. My home is a "no kill" zone. I don't always succeed, but I do give "fair warning" to creatures that don't belong in my home but for some reason or other find themselves there anyway! lol I do my best to catch and release them back into the wild.
Of course, if it's a situation of me or them, that's a different story, for example, I'm allergic to wasp stings and it can be fatal.
If I MUST kill something, I apologize first. "I'm sorry, but you have to go!"
I respect a person's different belief system as long as they don't try to tell me I am wrong or evil, or whatever, because I don't share their beliefs.
This is a very good article Bev (as usual!) Lots of interesting information.
It took me a long time and study of many religions before I realized I was a Pagan. I take a bit from Buddhism, a bit from Hinduism, and love the Earth, feeling such despair when I see how people are destroying Her.. I identify with certain goddesses too. And thanks for reminding me of Kahlil Gibran.

COMMIT organizes in cooperation with the Community Media Forum Europe (CMFE) the theme day "Voices of Inclusion". This event opens up a framework for presentations, debates and workshops. We present proven and new multilingual media projects from and with refugees and migrants, which should function as spaces for linguistic and political entry points of inclusion. What kind of support do people fleeing war and poverty need for their media work in the context of Community Radios and TVs or online-platforms when arriving? What kind of experiences in media were and are important to migrants as entry points into the local society and as orientation into a new home?
Experiences (results/outcomes) from projects will be discussed with representatives from media, solidarity innitiatives (NGOs), science and economy. The following workshops should provide the opportunity to exchange ideas, cooperations and programmes.
Date & Location: Thursday, June 15th, 10:30 until 17:30 at the Civilmedia-Conference in Salzburg.
Invitaion/Call: All those who want to present their media project on the theme day "Voices of Inclusion" please mail COMMIT / Helmut Peissl firstname.lastname@example.com For a limited number of participants travel and subsistence expenses can be reimbursed on request.
This event is supported by the Council of Europe and is a preparation for the international conference "Migration and Media Awareness 2017" from November 24th to 26th at Kulturfabrik Kampnagel in Hamburg.

Folks beat their addictions daily, using both inpatient therapy programs and outpatient programs. Drug addiction takes over an individual's life by means of a succession of events and a lengthy list of bad decisions. While the particular causes of drug addiction aren't known, genetic, psychological and environmental factors are believed to play a major role.
But What About Drug Addiction?
When people are hooked on drugs or alcohol, they take part in compulsive behaviors as a way to obtain that substance. Nobody intends to become hooked on drugs or alcohol. As stated, people hooked on drugs and alcohol may not have the ability to estimate their own scenarios and request support.
At this time, abuse is viewed as an early type or less hazardous sort of the disease characterized with the dependence criteria. Drug abuse is also an important concern for the nation. It is a major problem in the United States. Besides being an individual wellness condition, drug abuse and addiction can be regarded as a public wellness dilemma with various levels of wellness, economic, and unfavorable social implications.
The source of addiction vary considerably, and aren't often fully understood. Drug Addiction appears to be almost not possible to stop. You wish to understand the causes of drug addiction.

PATERSON, N.J -- It's movie awards season and that means you may see "Paterson" the movie and Paterson the city in all of its film glory.
Much of the film, which debuted in late December and should open in the area by the end of January, was shot in town, as well as other parts of New York State.
The movie stars Adam Driver as a bus driver with the name of Paterson who adheres to a simple routine: he drives his daily route, observing the city as it drifts across his windshield and overhearing fragments of conversations.
According to Producer Joshua Astrachan, locals should recognize Paterson most clearly out of the windows of the bus, at, of course, at the Great Falls and at the NJ Transit bus depot on Market Street.
While no special premiere is planned in Paterson, there had been a screening at the William Carlos Williams Center in Rutherford in December. Said Astrachan: "We were very glad to have at least something of a New Jersey homecoming there."

Posted in Press Releases on 12 April 2013
Try and imagine being dead. It's cold and dark and silent. There's nothing. Nothing at all. You can't see anything, smell anything, taste anything. Also, you're not there. Can you contemplate the total absence of you? Go on, try. no. you're still there aren't you? This should be easy: it's something you experienced for the first 13 billion years of the Universe and yet the prospect of returning to that state of nothingness is unimaginable and fills us with fear.
And with all these thought swirling around in your mortal and decayable brain, it's time for some comedy!
We're All Going To Die! Is Richard Herring's tenth distinctive stand-up show in ten consecutive Fringes (surely a unique accolade?). Having sorted out politics (Hitler Moustache), religion (Christ on a Bike), love (What is Love, Anyway?) and penises (Talking Cock), he turns his taboo-busting eye to that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns (apart from Jesus and that bloke with the canoe) - Death.
What happens to us when we die?
Why do humans feel the need to make up fantastical after-lives?
Why does the devil willingly act as custodian of Hell, punishing the wicked and playing into God's hands?
Wouldn't the prospect of existing for eternity actually be much more horrific than being snuffed out, especially if you lost all physical pleasures? An infinity of pure thought with no pizza, booze or wanking?
Why do we treat death with such mawkish seriousness and confer new found sanctity on people we thought were idiots whilst they were walking around and still breathing?
Herring says, 'I am fascinated by any subject which people are reluctant to discuss openly or think we shouldn't joke about. Death is one of the few universal experiences for every human being and yet it's one that is shrouded in euphemism, mystery and terrified awe. Why shouldn't we discuss and laugh about this inevitability while we still can, if only to prepare ourselves for its devastating effects. I hope to show the humorous side of this subject whilst making people think about their attitudes towards it.'
'We're All Going To Die!' can be a panic-inducing and terrifying scream, a blank statement of fact or a calming reassurance. Death is going to happen to all of us, let's accept it, try to stave it off for as long as possible and enjoy this precious and brief flash of light before the blessed relief of failing to exist and not having to worry about anything anymore.
Richard Herring first came to the Edinburgh Fringe in 1987 with the student revue 'The Seven Raymonds' (also featuring Stewart Lee). This year will be the 22nd Fringe he's performed at and his 35th and 36th shows (he is also hosting a daily podcast at The Stand). This has led many journalists to refer to him as 'The King of Edinburgh', a title which he is reluctant to embrace.
'We're All Going to Die!':
Venue: Pleasance Beyond
Date: 31st July - 25th August
Time: 8pm
