To become a graduate and receive your award certificate you must first apply for conferral of your award by completing your online application to graduate and confirm attendance.
When you enrolled or re-enrolled at the start of the year you were asked to indicate when you will be completing your course, your nominated completion date. If you indicated:
If you do not receive an email in September or March respectively, you can contact the Graduations Team via 'Email Us' in askUWA.
If you are a PhD and master by research student you will need to contact the Graduation Team via 'Email Us' in askUWA once your thesis has been classified as 'passed' or 'passed subject to correction'.
You will receive step by step instructions for how to complete your application to graduate in studentConnect in an email invitation from the Graduations Team.
Your application will include:
If your contact details change at any time please update them via studentConnect. If you have any problems contact us via askUWA.
Your semester address can be updated at any time, and will ensure we are able to contact you.
If you have any outstanding fees or fines, you won't be able to graduate. It is important that you clear all administrative encumbrances prior to applying to graduate. An administrative encumbrance that is not cleared will postpone your application.
Encumbrances can be added at any time, and the Graduations Team will email you if you receive an encumbrance before your graduation.
Your graduation certificate is a legal document and should list your full legal name (as on your birth certificate or passport). The name on your certificate cannot be changed after your award has been conferred except in limited circumstances.
You can change your name by providing one of the 'accepted documents' listed below by the apply to graduate closing date with your full name as you wish it to be recorded by the University. You can bring this document to Student Central, Student Administration and the team will update your name for you on the spot.
Accepted documents:
If you can't come to Student Administration to show us original documentation you can send us an original certified copy OR send us a full-colour scan of the original document (at the original size) via Email Us. The certified document must be signed by one of the following:
When you apply to graduate, you will have the option to rearrange the order of your names. You don't need to provide any documents or reason, just let us know the order you'd like your name printed on your certificate. If you choose this option and would like it applied to your other documents (for example your transcript) contact the Graduations Team to let us know.
You can see the provisional Conferment Dates published on our website. Your allocated ceremony will be available to when you confirm your attendance. If you're unable to attend your ceremony, you may choose to move your graduation next round or graduate in absentia (have your certificate posted to you without attending a ceremony). Once your award is conferred in absentia, you will miss the opportunity to attend a future ceremony for that award.
Graduation dates are subject to change, though unlikely. If for any reason the University changes your ceremony date, it will not be by more than 24 hours and the Graduations Team will email your student account.
If you don't want to attend a formal ceremony for your graduation, you can apply to graduate in absentia. You application will be processed at the earliest possible conferral date based on your course completion and the date your application to graduate is received. Once your award has been conferred your certificate will be sent to your semester address in studentConnect via Registered Post (within Australia) or DHL Courier (overseas) free of charge. If your certificate is returned to the University and needs to be re-sent there will be a charge ($10 within Australia or $25 for International Courier).
Once your award has been conferred in absentia, it is not possible for you to attend a future graduation ceremony for that award.
If you are completing more than one course, during your application to graduate you will be asked to select which course you would like to attend a ceremony for. If you would like to attend a ceremony for both awards you can choose to defer your attendance for one award to the following round. Once you complete your application to graduate contact the Graduations Team so they can set this up for you. It is only possible to attend one ceremony per round.
If you choose to attend both ceremonies the date printed on your award certificate is the date your award was conferred not the date you finished your course, so the dates on your certificates will be different.
Students who have applied to graduate will be advised of their ceremony date via their student email and the date will show in studentConnect.
Carefully check your course details when applying to graduate as this information will be printed on your certificate. There are limited circumstances in which a conferred award can be amended.
You can check the majors/specialisations you have selected during your course by:
If the information about your majors/specialisations is not correct, you can change it by:
The date of your graduation ceremony is provisional and will be confirmed when you confirm your attendance. We do not expect the date to change by more than 24 hours.
If you have applied to attend your graduation ceremony you will also need to confirm your attendance when your ceremony has been allocated. The Graduations Team will send you an email with instructions when the Confirmation of Attendance opens to prompt you.
It's important when you get this email to log into studentConnect to complete your confirmation before the closing date so you don't miss the opportunity to attend. After submitting your Confirmation of Attendance you will receive an email receipt, if you don't receive this email within 24 hours, check with the Graduations Team so we can make sure your application and confirmation have been received.
If you miss your Confirmation of Attendance you will have your award conferred in absentia and will not be able to attend any future ceremony for that award.
If your situation changes after completing your Confirmation of Attendance, please contact us before your ceremony to discuss your options.
As part of your Confirmation of Attendance it's important to, check your address is up to date so if you decide not to attend we can post your certificate. Check your name is recorded in full and your majors/specialisations are showing, these are printed on your certificate and cannot be changed after graduation. Some courses and pre-2012 will not have majors/specialisations printed.
Your full legal name will appear on your award certificate and will be read out in full at your ceremony. If your name is difficult to pronounce or you're simply concerned about the pronunciation, it is helpful to provide the presenter with some guidance. If you include a nickname or abbreviation in your pronunciation, it will not be read out. We have listed some examples of how to write out a pronunciation as a guide:
Full Name
Paul Harvey von Bergheim
Paul Harvey von Berg-hime
Hooi Peng Soon
Hoo-ee P-eng S-oon
Rebecca Malkkah Lachovitzki
Rebecca Mul-ka Lah-koh-vitz-kee
Abcde Smith
Ab-seh-dee Smith
Anneli Jones
Ah-nuh-lee Jones
Tania Lee
Tahn-yah Lee
You can also visit the Pronounce Names website which is helpful if you're unsure how to best write your pronunciation. Do not include 'sounds like' or 'rhymes with' in your pronunciation.
During your confirmation you will be able to let us know if you and/or your guests have any seating requirements. If your guest has a seating requirement, we ask they arrive at their venue early and make themselves known to venue staff who will seat them accordingly. If you indicate a special seating requirement for yourself, the Graduations Team will contact you to discuss your requirements. If you or one of your guests requires an AUSLAN interpreter the University will provide one for your ceremony.
Children are welcome to attend your graduation ceremony, for small children it's important to note evening ceremonies may run as late as 9.30pm. Children who are two years or under can sit on an adult's lap (one of your guests), children over two require their own ticket. If you have a pram, please leave it with the front of house staff before you go into the graduation venue. These are Occupational Health and Safety rules, and are in place for the safety of all patrons.
For more information about seating and accessibility for you and your guests, see the attending a ceremony webpage.

Interview with John Turturro (Ray Brocco)
Interview With Milt Bearden (CIA Consultant)
Interview With Matt Damon (Edward Wilson)
Interview With Robert De Niro (Bill Sullivan, Director, Producer)
Interview With Angelina Jolie (Clover Russell)
Interview With Eric Roth (Screenwriter)
Interview With John Turturro (Ray Brocco)
John Turturro is one of America's most versatile actors, racking up a collection of brilliantly eclectic roles. He has become a staple in the films of Joel and Ethan Coen and has a great relationship with Spike Lee, who directed one of his most memorable early roles, Pino in Do The Right Thing. He shone as the betrayer in the Coen's Miller's Crossing and has become a cult favourite thanks to his scene-stealing turn in The Big Lebowski. A long-time admirer of Robert De Niro, he stars in The Good Shepherd as Ray, Edward Wilson's aide.
Why this movie John? The character, the script?
John Turturro: It was Robert asking me to work with him. He's someone who made a big impression on me as a young teenager, watching him in Bang The Drum Slowly, Mean Streets, Godfather and Taxi Driver, and later in Deer Hunter and Raging Bull. My first audition was for Raging Bull, I got one line. I've got to work with him twice as an actor, he's asked me to be in a couple of movies, he's seen me in a lot of plays. I worked on A Bronx Tale for him and he's always kept me in mind for things. I thought The Good Shepherd was a fascinating subject matter.
If Bob was such a hero to you when you were young, did you ever wonder if he'd live up to your expectations?
Sure, he was studied and quiet. He doesn't have an actor's personality. I can understand why he made a movie about spies, because he's an acute observer of human behaviour. We fooled around a lot and laughed, we joked around. He's a good person although you can sometimes tell he is an only child, if he doesn't get his way! But then he's fine. A lot of people are scared to talk to him, but I'm not afraid of him. I have a lot of respect for him and there were times where I gave him a lot of extra time, and then had to go and do something. I said "Bob I gave you all this extra time." He just didn't want to think that I wouldn't be there for him, you know...
Does he work at all like Martin Scorsese?
It was interesting as he does tons of takes, because Bob goes over and over and over, always refining it, maybe doing a variation. Maybe he's used to doing it with Martin. He had to see things and respond to it rather than imagine it. He needed to see it. Sometimes people would get really tired, sometimes he'd have to act something out in order to talk to you, which was okay. A couple of times I'd say "get away that's not my instinct." He'd laugh and laugh about it. Eventually I just came to the conclusion that it was like working with a painter, you make a sketch and then he keeps refining it, refining it, refining it. Bob would sometimes come up with some great behavioural details that were very truthful and honest. He has that kind of emotional intelligence. Take Clooney for example - he is verbally intelligent whereas Bob is the one who is emotionally intelligent.
You're hard to spot in Raging Bull. What was the scene you were in?
I'm sitting at the table and I say "Hi, Jake, you've seen me". It's when he sees Cathy Moriarty for the second time and goes to the dance hall.
Do you have any inherent interest in the CIA or Intelligence?
I'm not really that attracted to it but reading about it is fascinating. How they have to be so unemotional and cut off, how idealistic these guys were when they first began. How smart and patriotic they were. The cost of it. I knew someone who's father was in the CIA. She said it was nuts because he would come in and then just disappear, he'd be there then he'd be gone. Imagine if you had kids and a family, imagine that. My friend used to tell me that she didn't know who her dad was. He just couldn't talk to her. If you can't share or trust then can you really love somebody? I think my character, Ray, has a little more balance. He comes from a different sort of tradition, family-wise.
Your character's more down to earth and blue-collar than his peers, right?
Yeah, he's not a white Anglo-Saxon protestant; he's not from that world. That was a really clear delineation in that time. They all got used to it. People in this country who were so unaware of it, people like the Irish and the Jews. They were so unaware unless they got close to it. My father was a builder, he really wasn't aware of it, although he never went to college. I went to college and I was aware of the differences - of what's right and when I'm saying the wrong thing, using the wrong tenses.
What are your own experiences of that WASPish elite?
When I went to drama school at Yale I saw that the whole history of Yale is isolated. They didn't have a relationship with the community, which was mainly Italian. They had a huge Italian community there and when they expanded Yale they wanted that old architecture to look exactly the same as they'd built 100 years earlier. So they had all these great stone masons brought over from Italy. My father was mesmerized by the stone work at Yale. I'd say "They never really paid these guys a decent salary, Dad". He'd say "Ah, who cares? Look at the workmanship." But, back to the point, the relationship with the community was not good. Skull & Bones was next door to the old school and for three years I never saw anyone come in or go out of that place. You'd hear partying at night. At one time I had a part-time job alongside my acting scholarship and I was a dishwasher. I was unloading garbage one night up against their fence with a great actor called Charles Dutton. We had all this debris dropped on our heads from the Skull & Bones building, so we started throwing rocks at the thing and pieces of pavement. But we couldn't see who it was.
You didn't know who the guys that attacked you were?
Just that they were Skull & Bones. That's what they did - they dumped us. I've seen what it's like class-wise, what people think is funny. You know everyone has different senses of humour depending what your background is. Another time I was doing a show with all these guys from that sort of background. They actually said to me "That's not funny." I'd say, "There's all kinds of funny. Just what you think is funny is not the only thing that's funny." That was a thing that interested me because I know it, I know it better than a lot of the guys, as I used to date only WASP girls.
Did that inform your character at all?
I don't think the guy would be that aware of it but he'd be somewhat aware if he was surrounded by people from a different social background. I did think it was interesting as we progressed that I actually am more of Matt Damon's wife than his wife is. He's like Ray's wife. And because I had such a good relationship with Matt as a person, it was easy to have that sort of affection. He had a line like "When are you going to learn to trust me." That's like a married couple, much more so than in life, even maybe than in my life. These are guys who are believers in what they are doing, they came out of a patriotic time and then the world changed. They didn't know that they were installing dictators and all these things. Or maybe they did but it was for the greater good of the country. We don't want to have that at our back doors. It was interesting that way.
You're often described as one of America's great character actors. How do you see it, surely you're just one America's great actors?
I guess in England they don't say that as often, because in England you come from the theatre and you're just an actor. For example Michael Gambon is a great actor, Albert Finney is a great actor, Anthony Hopkins is a great actor but they play a lot of different kinds of characters, not always the same. It's rare for an English actor to have a persona. Like John Wayne, he didn't change his exterior that much. He played the same kind of part because that's the tradition.
Do you think that's because in England there is a smaller pool of actors and people are required to be more diverse?
Actors that I've liked over the years, not all of them would play a lot of diverse roles. But they'd have diverse interests in the roles that they played and liked literate things. Like Burt Lancaster wasn't really a chameleon, but he played serious movies, comedies, acrobatic movies. I loved him as a performer. But if you look at Brando he really was a character actor because he played all different kinds of parts and he was a real actor. To me I've played leads, done cameos and supporting roles. It doesn't matter to me. I'm happy; I wouldn't want to be a lead in everything. It's not the most creative way to live to always have to carry something. For years Bob just did little parts, he was always doing supporting roles. What's the big deal I don't get it. To me it's kind of fun, like The Big Lebowski... I don't understand what that word [character] means, it's strange to me. The actors I've always liked play many different characters. Sometimes it gets boring watching the same guy do the same lead role.
Any more news on the sequel to The Big Lebowski?
Well, we might do a sequel to it, with Jesus. They're putting it together and I have a good scenario which they like. The Big Lebowski's become such a cult film, and people do remember me from it but there are all kinds of different roles that people like. The Coen Brothers films, Spike's films, Quiz Show. A lot of kids love The Big Lebowski. It didn't do great here when it came out but there's since been a revival. People are obsessed by it. It was a movie they didn't know what to do with. It did better in England and in Europe. Now it's played in every college, it's crazy.
What have you been working on most recently?
I just did a film with Robert De Niro written by Anthony Hopkins that he is also starring in and directing, Slipstream. It's going to premier this Sunday and I have a really fun role. I worked less than two weeks on it but loved it. Anthony is from the theatre and we just hit it off, big time. The guy is just in a great time of his life, we laughed so much. It was really outrageous and I just wanted to give him everything he wanted and he just kept adding and adding. De Niro and Hopkins are guys I really admire, these are real actors. Nowadays I don't see that many young actors that make me go "That guy's unbelievable."
You've been in this industry for some time, is that something that's specifically changed during that time?
Kids are just becoming so famous so early and they've got no body of work behind them. They haven't developed enough to sustain it. They do one role, maybe two and that's it.
Talking about the Coen Brothers and Spike Lee, what is it that makes your relationship with them special?
I just hit it off with Spike early on. We have a lot of similar interests. He works in a more improvisational way and I did a lot of writing on some of his movies. A lot of people did, not just me. Jungle Fever, I wrote a huge portion of that. Like a third of that movie. I got no writing credit! People say that to Mike Leigh, too. Now there's a great director I'd like to work with him sometime. I really, really like his movies. With the Coen Brothers we just hit it off as friends. It's nice to have a bit of continuity. There are a few directors I've worked with, Redford, Peter Weir that I'd work with again. It's nice to have that familiarity. It helps.
You've just worked with Michael Bay on Transformers. He doesn't seem a natural fit with your CV?
I basically played him. It's a kids' movie and my kids really wanted me to do it. I came in with lots of ideas and he was very appreciative of them and he's got personality. He's like a big kid, he yells at his crew and stuff. I got along fine with him, I actually had a lot of fun with him. I would do things and he'd say "I love that" and it was because I was doing him. You've got to make each situation mean something to you and figure it out. I don't walk around thinking I'm this serious artist. I always wanted to be in the arts but I see myself more like an English actor does, which is to be a terrific craftsman. Then let somebody else say I'm an artist. I'm not going to say that, I'm not going to walk around with that mantle on my back, that target on my back of being fucking pretentious. You know, something broad and funny is hard to do too. Tragic comedy, that's hard to do. Serious, that's hard to do. Everything is its own challenge. You don't look down on stuff unless someone makes you look down on it. That film would be like doing larger than life shit, and I went for it.
Are you tempted to do that sort of thing more often?
Depends if they ask me to do it, it depends. Doing pure comedy is really hard. I like things that are funny and have content. I've done Beckett and I actually like that a lot.
Do you prefer the theatre?
I like both. I don't like doing long runs of anything but I like going back to the theatre because I feel like it's so much of the medium, it's where you can practice.
Your last directorial outing, Romance & Cigarettes, did it have the reception you hoped for?
People really love that film and it's shortly coming out here in the US. I'm very proud of that film. To me that movie is a good representation of me. Joel and Ethan Coen love the movie too, they've been great supporters of it. It did okay in London. Let me tell you it's a film that young people like a lot. They really dig it. We got some great reviews. I certainly hung myself out. Hung my ass out for the whole world to see.
Tell me about directing your wife in a film?
I'm directing her right now in a play. Directing your wife personally is hard because they don't listen to you! "But I'm the director and you're the actress, I respect you and you respect me!" She's a terrific actress and it's fun to work with her. We've learned but we've worked together as actors and we get along pretty well.
You get to wear the pants for once?
Oh yeah but I have to be careful. You have to be careful with actresses in general. They're temperamental creatures.

How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

Inishcrone - Another glacial entrainment mechanism
This is a fascinating photo from the new QRA publication listing "the top 50 Quaternary sites" in the British Isles. It's from Inishcrone, in County Sligo in Ireland.
Conventionally, the entrainment of rock slabs on the base of a glacier is assumed to involve two basic processes:
first, a compression process on the glacier bed where high stresses are placed on a vulnerable rock surface which is partly under compression and partly under tension. That leads to the fracturing of the rock.
second, a "freezing-on" process by which blocks are frozen onto the glacier bed and dragged away on the glacier bed or carried upwards along thrust planes.
The point at which the one process gives way to another is the point at which pressure is released on the glacier bed, and where a film of meltwater on the bed gives way to refreezing. This is the classic explanation of why and how roches moutonnees are formed. See many entries in this blog on precisely that topic.
In other situations we know that super-erratics can be incorporated into the bed of a glacier by shearing on a huge scale. For example, slabs of chalk over a kilometre long have been known to be incorporated into glacier beds because of the massive pressure exerted by thick ice and because of the peculiar circumstances associated with the shear stresses on permeable glacier beds. Complex physics and rock mechanics.......
The Inishcrone example is fascinating, because it shows yet another entrainment process. Here, it appears that loosely-jointed limestone beds have actually been bull-dozed by the over-riding ice, giving rise to folding or buckling structures and then the complete elimination of the original stratification of the beds as they are literally smashed up. Much more information here:

Silloth (sometimes known as Silloth-on-Solway) is a port town and civil parish in Cumbria, England. It sits on the shoreline of the Solway Firth, 22 miles (35 km) west of Carlisle. It has a population of 2,932.
Silloth is close to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site.
Historically a part of Cumberland, the town is one of the finest examples of a Victorian seaside resort in the North of England. Silloth developed in the 1860s around the terminus of a railway from Carlisle which had begun construction in 1855. For the first time, workers from the factories of Carlisle were presented with affordable access to the seaside and the town flourished as a destination for day trippers. The town reached the peak of its popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Recent years have seen a great deal of development with many of the sea facing properties having received facelifts. The main central attraction is a large expansive green that is utilised throughout the year to host various events and activities.
In June 2012, it became clear that the Silloth (specifically the Solway Plain between Silloth, Abbeytown and Westnewton) has been identified as a potential site for a Geological Disposal Facility for the UK's high level nuclear waste. Two other sites have also been identified – Eskdale and the Ennerdale – both of these are within the Lake District National Park. The Solway Plain wasn't named by the Managing Radioactive Waste Safely (MRWS) Partnership, rather they referred to the 'Low permeability sedimentary rocks associated with the Mercia Mudstone Group(MMG)'. This was in (publicly available) document 285 of the West Cumbria MRWS in a report written by Dr Dearlove, the consultant geologist recruited by MRWS.
Silloth's largest church is Christ Church, which is situated on Criffel Street and was completed in 1870. Several other churches and chapels of various denominations are also located within the town or its outskirts.
One of the busiest ports in Cumbria, Silloth is owned and operated by Associated British Ports. The main cargoes are wheat, fertiliser, molasses, forest products and general cargo.
An example of a Victorian flour mill, the building was constructed adjacent to the New Dock in 1887. Carr's flour mill is an operating mill which supplies flour to a number of food manufacturers such as United Biscuits, Warburton's Bread and several other leading bakeries and confectioners.
Farming of livestock, mainly sheep, beef and dairy cattle, takes up most of the surrounding landscape.
There are a number of static and touring caravan and camping parks in the town and surrounding area.
The town has a small brewery which produces traditional ales for the guest beer market. It recreates traditional ales brewed to the original recipes. A range of 20 beers are produced; some are available in the Albion and Silloth Social Club.
Many small businesses can also be found located on the former Second World War airfield and associated buildings.
Tourism is a major economic player in Silloth, with dozens of large and small static and touring caravan parks located within a ten mile (16 km) radius of the town centre. This is responsible for the tremendous growth in the population on most days throughout the summer months. Although a couple of these parks are somewhat self-contained they still rely heavily on the town for support and infrastructure such as post office, doctor's surgery, chemist, newsagent's, mini supermarkets, hardware, spares and consumables, cafes, chip shops, sandwich bars and pubs. Silloth also plays host to several small annual events held on the town green. These include a beer festival held in September, its steam rally, kite and food festivals. By far the town's largest annual event is Solfest. The Solway Music Festival (Solfest) is Cumbria's biggest four day live music festival with a maximum attendance in 2008. Situated just outside the town, Solfest has been running since 2004 and now regularly attracts crowds of over 10,000 every August bank holiday weekend, with its eclectic mix of music, site art and cabaret performers and the friendly atmosphere which resulted in it rocketing the town firmly back into national awareness by winning the "Best Family Friendly Festival" award in the 2007 UK Festival Awards (the only Cumbrian festival ever to win an award). Solfest has also been credited by Cumbria Tourist Board for introducing a younger generation of tourists to Silloth and in doing so has greatly boosted the future of tourism in the town. Amenities include a championship golf course ranked amongst the country's top fifty courses, several hotels and bed and breakfasts, public houses, tea rooms and eateries.
Silloth also prides itself in its coastline along the Solway Firth which has been described in one of the country's leading sea fishing publications, Total Sea Angling, as having the best flatfish fishing coastline in the country, with over 20 miles (32 km) of beach and promenade to choose from. Bait and equipment are also available locally. Wind and kite surfing are also popular along the coast at Allonby, 8 miles (13 km) from Silloth town centre.
The railway came to Silloth in 1856, passing through the villages of Kirkbride and Abbeytown to Carlisle. The railway provided quick access to the town for tourists, but was closed as part of the Beeching cuts in 1964.
Silloth is on the B5302 road, which leads to the A596 and the town of Wigton, 12 miles (19 km) away. The B5300 connects the town to Maryport, 13 miles (21 km) away.

I rode the late bus home tonight. Two AM from Mission and 16th back to the Panhandle. On the 5, I was sitting in front of two men having this conversation, which I had the gross displeasure of overhearing.
"Dude, there were some *MILFs at that party."**
"Dude, yea, some serious MILFs."
"Dude, like as soon as I grew up, I realized how hot MILFs are. Yo, you know my friend Mustafa?"
"He like *only goes after MILFs. I'll show him this hot girl our age and he'll be like nah, but then he'll show me like some 35 year old woman he's into."*
"And does he get in that?"
"Yea, dude. The first time he ever had sex was with like a hot 30 year old. The thing is that he just knows what he wants and goes after it."
"Dude, that's awesome."
"Yea, I got mad respect for him."
Remember, men: girls are yours for the taking. Just say what you want and then go "get in that". That's how you earn the respect of your bros.
*For those uninitiated, this is the popular acronym for Mothers I'd Like to Fuck.

There's a bizarre song in Shirley Bogart's Great Illustrated Classics version of H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, and the weirdest thing is, it's sung by a character who is supposed to be mute. Despite the fact that her version it is billed as an adaptation, Bogart made up the song out of whole cloth. It's sung by Weena, a character who is pretty much silent in Wells's book but speaks and sings throughout Bogart's children's version. And, unless Bogart traveled back in time and was told by Wells to add a creepy song to his most famous work, she's engaging in an egregious act of artistic vandalism. Thankfully, most of the 65 other titles in the Great Illustrated Classics series don't contain such dramatic alterations. Instead, they simplify the language and illustrate the action in order to make classic works easier for young readers to understand.
But, there's still an ethical question parents need answering: Even when relatively faithful to the originals, are these simplified, illustrated versions of classic works actually good for young readers?
There are two main schools of thought. Yes, because as the publisher says the books "encourage skill development in boys and girls at various reading levels." In other words, they are tools for building literacy, but not literature in it of themselves. The other viewpoint sees them as hollow simulacra of the original works that do a disservice to readers by removing what makes the classics classic in the first place. (This is the likely view of the enterprising prankster who listed "I. Dummitdown" as a co-author on many of the books in the series on Amazon.)
To understand the debate it's worth examining a more typical Great Illustrated Classics treatment, Moby Dick, also adapted by Bogart. At the beginning of Melville's novel, Ishmael is experiencing "a damp, drizzly November in my soul." It seems as though he is "bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet." He's really bummed.
Melville's language has a rhythm, commas, and semicolons both separating and connecting vivid descriptions. Reading it you don't just know what's happening in Ishmael's heart, you feel it.
The parallel phrase from the Great Illustrated Classics edition is "whenever life got me down." The writing is far less emotive, but for young readers, it is much easier to understand. Is this a good thing or is the loss of Melville's language not worth it?
In reality, both arguments have merit. The difference seems to lie in how much guidance young readers receive when they are introduced to the series.
Literacy expert Dr. Timothy Shanahan, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago, thinks that books like those in the Great Illustrated Classics series do have the potential to be useful tools.
"I think it is great that kids get exposed to classical literature, even if it is not as fully realized as a more traditional version," Shanahan said. "We want kids to know myths and how stories are told. There are particular tales and characters that we want them to know."
Like the TV series Wishbone, the Great Illustrated Classics series introduces kids to stories they should know to be culturally competent. Kids who read Great Illustrated Classics will know which ghosts visit Ebenezer Scrooge, see where Phileas Fogg travels and understand the humiliation of a hungry Oliver Twist. One important caveat: the series skews heavily towards Western, white, male authors.
The illustrations help too. A 2016 study from Hamline University found that language learners performed better on both short- and long-term memory-based assessments when they read a graphic novel version of a story as opposed to a text-only version. Another study by a Japanese researcher showed that reading a graphic version of a story leads to better understanding of a text-only version read later.
Then there's the fact that most kids can't read the full version of these texts anyways. Lexile scores are, according to Shanahan, a "well-validated scheme for placing texts on a continuum of difficulty."
The unabridged version of Ivanhoe has a Lexile score of 1410L; the Great Illustrated Classics version has a Lexile score of 990L. For context, the company behind Lexile recommends sixth graders read books between 690L and 1160L. So, the average sixth grader would likely find the unabridged version too difficult to get through and the Great Illustrated Classics edition well within their abilities.
However, reading an easier retelling of a complex text doesn't allow the reader to the do the difficult but rewarding work of comprehension.
"The presentation form is less like the materials one reads in college or the workplace," Shanahan said, "so the reading practice wouldn't be as beneficial as reading a more traditional version."
In another study cited by Shanahan, high school students who read the graphic versions of a work finished in less than half the time. That is simply a lot less time spent practicing reading.
So what is a literary-minded parent to do? An outright ban on Great Illustrated Classics seems misguided. If your kid is an avid reader, chances are you won't be able to keep them from picking one up anyway. They are useful for building knowledge of important works of culture. Your job as a parent is to make sure your kids know that longer, more rewarding versions of those stories exist and that they are worth experience even if your kid has already read the simplified, illustrated version of the story.
"It is wise to make sure the kids know there are more elaborated versions that they might want to read someday," said Shanahan. "Not a bad idea to plant those seeds."

The Damned to Kick Off 40th Anniversary Tour on April 6th in Los Angeles!2 min read
Formed in 1976, The Damned really need no introduction… As well as releasing the first ever British punk single and album, they also broke further new ground as the first UK punk act to tour America. Cited as one of the most influential punk groups of all time, they also contributed vastly to the gothic rock genre and influenced an entire generation of future hardcore punk bands such as Black Flag and Bad Brains, with their fast paced energetic playing style and attitude, as well as heavyweights such asGreen Day and Guns 'N' Roses (the latter acknowledged the debt when they covered "New Rose" on their 1993 album, 'The Spaghetti Incident'). Along with the Sex Pistols and The Clash, the Damned helped spearhead the punk movement in the UK and they continue to wave the flag for originality, stick two fingers up to mediocrity and celebrate a DIY punk ethos in the face of plastic entertainment and scripted reality, four decades and ten albums later (and still on the road).
The band's hugely influential classic debut single, 'New Rose', celebrated its 40th anniversary last November with a limited edition 7" release via BMG. Featuring original artwork, picture disc and exclusive fold out poster, it's a must have collectable release of one of the most influential records of all time. Their classic debut long-player, 'Damned Damned Damned' (the very first British punk album), was originally released by Stiff Records on February 18th 1977 and, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band's dramatic breakthrough, BMG also released a very special Art Of The Album: Deluxe Edition of that incredible debut album on February 17th, almost exactly 40 years to the day since its original issue.
David Vanian, Captain Sensible, Monty Oxymoron, Andrew 'Pinch' Pinching, and Stu West headed into the studio this winter to start work on a brand new album, their first since 2008's 'So, Who's Paranoid?' A pre-order link for the CD, colored vinyl, as well as exclusive merch (and experiences) is available at PledgeMusic. Stay tuned for more info.
Currently on an extensive world tour, which includes a two month North American run beginning April 6th in Los Angeles, they will also play a series of UK festivals this summer (check the band's website for details).

A BMW advert designed to show off the vehicle's four-wheel drive has been banned from further screening due to 'faster, dangerous and irresponsible driving'. In short, they done messed up.
The UK's advertising watchdog feared that the mix of fast-paced scenes would encourage dangerous manoeuvres on the road. The 30-second-long advert was originally shown last year and has been seen by an estimated 9.3 million people, the ASA has said. This is the third time in a year the Advertising Standards Authority has come at BMW due to complaints.
The ASA noted that in this latest case, BMW had claimed all its cars were driven in 'a safe and responsible manner'. They also denied the cars had skidded and instead described how their tires appear to slip as a 'slight reduction of traction'.
But, the ASA said the fast cuts in the footage and the use of Blur's Song 2, had given the impression of the cars being driven at 'considerable speed'. The ad also switched between dirt tracks and private locations, which could encourage a viewer to try the stuff they see in the ad.
It was also reported that the car manufacturer has reclaimed up to 300,000 cars due to a fault that causes the car to stop by itself.
This isn't the first time this year the ASA has hounded companies for things like fake waterproof phones and tans that can reduce cellulite.
You know who do ads right?
Aldi. Just saying.

Friends and Supporters,
nearly ten years, the New York City Council has funded the
Consortium for Worker Education's Jobs to Build On (JtBO) and
Worker Service Center (WSC) programs. This funding empowers more
than 40 community-based organizations to provide workforce training
and placement programs for unemployed and underemployed New
Yorkers. Through these programs, CWE has placed 15,000 New Yorkers
in new careers. Please read on for the latest news from the
Consortium for Worker Education.
Today, CWE announced its 15,000th job
placement in the Jobs to Build On program. Over the last decade,
this program has helped unemployed New Yorkers get jobs and build
careers. The most recent reporting found that JtBO participants got
jobs paying $12.87 per hour, on average.
Today's milestone shows that the City Council's commitment to JtBO
and workforce development has had a real impact on New York's
working families.
neighborhoods with high unemployment have new hope, thanks to job training
and placement programs coming to their local library. The new
program is a partnership between Queens Library and the Consortium
for Worker Education.
"Whether you recently lost a job or are entering the workforce for
the first time, this program is for you," said Debbie Buxton,
Deputy Executive Director for Workforce Training at Consortium for
Worker Education. "Workers are used to one-size-fits-all job
services that don't meet their specific needs. This program is
different because we will provide each individual with the services
they need to get ready to work, to build specific skills, and then
help place them in a career-track job."
The program is available at the Central Branch in Jamaica, as well
as the Astoria, Long Island City, and Laurelton community
libraries. The new services will also be provided at the Ridgewood
Community Library when it reopens following renovation. Hundreds
are expected to participate in the first year of the program.
The new program builds on existing job assistance services at
Queens Library, by enhancing workshop offerings and adding job
placement services. At each of the five library branches, residents
will have access to workshops facilitated by employment counselors
and job readiness services. Initial training will include computer
skills, resume writing, and job interview practice. Each
library will be paired with a community organization from CWE's
Jobs to Build On network, to assist with specific vocational
training and job placement.
The new library programs are funded by the New York City Council,
which has made job training and placement a priority through
funding for the Jobs to Build On program.
Interested residents can visit the participating branches for more
information or go to www.queenslibrary.org.
New York workers have a new home, in Lower Manhattan.
The Consortium for Worker Education unveiled its new facilities at
a reception on May 27th, with elected officials and
leaders from many of the city's community organizations.
At the new facilities, CWE partners with labor unions to develop
classes for those looking to succeed in today's economy. SEIU 1199
members come for preparatory classes for new certification exams,
including surgical technology courses in the simulated operating
rooms. In sleek computer labs, Office and Professional Employees
International Union members are learning basic and advanced
computer skills. Union members who have been displaced from their
jobs, including those from recently closed hospitals, come to CWE
to build their resumes and learn interviewing skills to reenter the
job market.
"These are the sophisticated facilities that workers deserve," said
George Miranda, Chairman of the CWE Board of Directors. The 26,000
square feet of classrooms are open day and night to accommodate the
schedules of working families.
Union members will not be the only ones benefiting from these new,
worker-focused training spaces. CWE has partnered with 40
community-based organizations through programs like Jobs to Build
On and Worker Service Centers to provide job readiness classes,
vocational training, and job placement services to thousands of New
City Council Members Daneek Miller, Costa Constantinides, and Ben
Kallos all attended the reception and
spoke about the new facilities as the latest chapter in a long history
of workforce development at CWE. Deborah King, Executive Director
of the 1199 SEIU Training and Upgrading Fund, and David Garza,
Executive Director of the Henry Street Settlement, also spoke at
the event.
As workplaces change, it is easy for employees to fall behind. The
new Consortium for Worker Education facilities on Maiden Lane will
help unions and community organizations keep workers at the
forefront of their fields.

Darren Daulton, a three-time All-Star catcher who led a ragtag Philadelphia Phillies team to an improbable pennant in 1993, died on Sunday at his home in Clearwater, Fla. He was 55.
The Phillies said the cause was brain cancer, which Daulton had fought for four years.
Daulton, who was given a plaque on the Phillies' Wall of Fame in 2010, started his major league career with Philadelphia in 1983 and stayed with the organization until 1997, when he was traded to the Florida Marlins. He helped the Marlins beat the Cleveland Indians in the World Series that year, hitting .389 in the Series. He then retired with a .245 batting average, a .357 on-base percentage and a .427 slugging percentage.
The Phillies did not have a formal captain's position during Daulton's career, but as a no-nonsense figure who had fought through many knee injuries to become an everyday player, he was the acknowledged team leader.
In 1992, the Phillies finished in last place, but Daulton still managed a career-high 27 home runs and a National-League-leading 109 runs batted in. The next season, he willed Lenny Dykstra, John Kruk and a shaggy group of misfits to a surprise National League Championship Series victory over the Atlanta Braves.
Kruk told the MLB.com columnist Paul Hagen that when Daulton said anything, his rowdy teammates paid attention. Daulton once cautioned them to keep their mouths shut after the Phillies had won the first three games of a four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
"It would have been easy for one of us to say something," Kruk told Hagen. "But that's the thing. When he spoke, we listened. No one said anything. No one popped off. And we ended up completing the sweep the next day."
The Phillies lost the 1993 World Series to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games, with Daulton behind the plate during Joe Carter's title-clinching home run.
Reliever Mitch Williams, who threw the final pitch, told The New York Times a few days after the game that Daulton had called for a fastball high and away, but that Williams had "jerked the ball" and thrown it low and inside.
Williams received death threats from irate Phillies fans, but his teammates were more supportive, especially Daulton.
"Darren Daulton came over to me in the clubhouse and said, 'All year, I've been tellin' hitters what's comin', and wouldn't you know, in a World Series someone finally believed me!'" Williams said. "I appreciated that."
Darren Arthur Daulton was born on Jan. 3, 1962, to Carol and David Daulton in Arkansas City, Kan. He attended Arkansas City High School, where he played quarterback as well as baseball, and he was drafted by the Phillies in the 25th round.
He was a longtime resident of Clearwater, where the Phillies hold spring training. He is survived by his wife, Amanda; his parents; a brother, David Jr.; and four children, Zachary, Summer, Savannah and Darren Jr.
Daulton is the third prominent Phillies alumnus to have died this year. Dallas Green, the manager of their 1980 championship team, died in March, and the Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Bunning died in May.

I think we've all had a time in our lives when we were under the silly impression that we were untouchable… better, faster, stronger, meaner. Maybe? I don't know.
Back in college I had this 6ft Jamaican track star for a roommate. She was solid muscle. Solid. Her name was… I'll just call her Gretchen. And Gretchen had a temper; always knowing just what buttons to push to make you snap. But the trick with Gretchen, though, was keeping your cool.
Oh, who am I fooling? You never kept your cool with Gretchen because you never knew what the heck Gretchen was going to do. She was difficult and mean and she could knock you on your ass with one push if she wanted to.
Well, that's what she did to me, anyway.
You see, a couple of weeks after Gretchen moved out of the apartment she returned and procured all of the pots and pans and baking dishes from the kitchen. The only person home at the time was a new roommate napping on the couch, unaware of Gretchen's thieving. In fact, we were only made aware of the missing items when we tried to make dinner and found that we had no pots to boil water in… or cookies sheets to bake cookies on. Tragic!
We might not have seen Gretchen take the pots and pans, but I knew she did. And even after people told me to leave it be I couldn't let it go. So, knowing my neighbor was headed to work in a few minutes and knowing that she worked with Gretchen, I asked her to tell Gretchen to bring the pots and pans back because she had taken some items that didn't belong to her.
Okay, I may have said something about filing a police report, but my memory somehow escapes me…
What I do remember is Gretchen kicking in our apartment door, pulling me by the hair and smashing my head into the television screen just before dragging me by my flailing arms across the carpet on my knees. There was yelling. And I may or may not have said a few swear words. Eventually someone called the police and Gretchen, the smart little thief she was, left shortly after the sirens could be heard in the distance… leaving me a dazed, confused, bloody, and blubbering mess.
You know, there's really nothing like the police showing up at your place to collect evidence and take photos of your beat-down to make you feel like a real loser. Or, for Gabriel Hill in Hill Country by R. Thomas Brown, there's really nothing more troubling than the police coming by to take photos of the dead pedophile on your porch… especially when he's the guy you just got your butt kicked by at the local bar in town.
Now a convenient murder suspect, Gabe quickly finds himself an unwilling participant in the quest for some supposed treasure that his brother Mike had his hands on. But unfortunately for Gabe, Mike is dead, and left in his place are a half dozen or so lively characters that are willing to do whatever it takes to get the one thing they all feel is rightfully theirs.
You would think being confronted with bizarre, sacrificial killings in the woods; threats to get out of town; his brother's murder; a beautifully dangerous and seductive woman that pops up out of nowhere; a home invasion; a couple of psychopaths that kill for fun; and the incredibly annoying Mr. Greenstreet, that Gabe would have left town while he still had the chance. Not likely. 'Cause like me, Gabe Hill is stubbornly smart, and he's definitely not one to back down from a fight. But unlike my fight with Gretchen and those stupid pots and pans, Gabe's unpredictable fight with lost relationships and madmen shows that he's better, faster, stronger and meaner than all of them combined… even if he does shed a tear or two in the end.
I found Hill Country by R. Thomas Brown to be a wonderful read and quite different from his other work that I've read. While Merciless Pact seemed tinged with darkness with a side of nightmares, Hill Country seemed to be, well, tinged with darkness with a side of fun… as much fun as greed and murder will allow, at least. In Hill Country the characters are suspiciously shady, the dialogue catchy, and the setting so perfectly written that it had me reminiscing of my stroll down the River Walk in San Antonio a couple years back. And it also reminded me of my fight with Gretchen…
Yeah, Gretchen's body might not have landed on my front porch after our little fight, but I did catch her picking up trash on the side of the road in her bright orange, community service outfit.
*giggles* I wonder if she still has those pots and pans…
*giggles* I wonder if she still has those pots and pans…

Are you a photography beginner? Do you have no money for giant octa boxes and an expensive flash unit?
Well then this post here is for you 🙂 I will show you in this post how you can be using natural light in photography to create better pictures than most others would with a flash unit.
Ready? Ok, let's get started! 🙂
Why Natural light?
The answer is easy aside from the fact that it costs nothing in opposite to a flash unit. 🙂 You don't have to carry it around with you, It's everywhere unless its night and it looks beautiful. But that is not the best part. The best part is that using it will improve your photo skills a lot because you can't just completely change the light setup as you can with studio lights. When you train to use natural light on purpose you will be able to shoot good pictures in every location.
Check The Light Quality
What I mean by that is check what weather it is. Sun? Rain? Cloudy? Because the light will change quite a lot with the weather situation as explained below.
The Quality Of Straight Sunlight
Straight sunlight can be beautiful for lots of people and a pain in the ass for lots of photographers 🙂 Why? On one hand, sunlight is awesome light is everywhere, a warm color temperature and colors really pop in it. On the other hand, it sucks because it is very hard and creates even harder shadows and that doesn't look good in a portrait. But don't you worry I got you. 🙂 just continue reading ;P
The Quality Of Rainy Cloudy Light
It's the same with this light. It's awesome and it sucks at the same time. Why it's awesome is because in the opposite to straight sunlight the light gets filtered through the clouds like a giant softbox. So it will create shadows that are very soft and look awesome. Plus you got a firm medium color temperature.
The bad side of it is, that it is freaking raining men. (hallelujah) Aside from that everything is grey. Colors don't pop and shadows can sometimes almost disappear.
What Is Color Temperature?
I knew you would probably ask that. Color temperature is basically how warm or cold the light looks and is measured in Kelvin as your white balance in your camera.
Check The Position
In other words what time is it? Because the sun will shine from different angles depending on what time it is. Which will of course also change the way the shadows fall as well as the color temperature. Right?
What's The Best Position or Time?
To find that out you can either click here for info on the golden hour or here for the blue hour or read my short quick explanation. 🙂 When you look at pictures shot by a professional in natural light, you will probably see that they all where sot around the same time. Sunrise or sunset 🙂 Of course, you can also shoot at midday, if you want to know how click here, but for now, we stick to the easiest method and that is during those times below.
Midday (You need to know some tricks up your sleeves)
- Golden Hour
- Civil twilight
- Blue Hour
- Nautical Twilight
- Astronomical Twilight
The time when the golden hour and the rest always depend on your location and the time of the year, but no worries you can look them up on google or use this handy little app here which will also tell you how the weather will be and where the sun will stand at any given time.
What can we do to improve the situation?
Since the purpose of this post is to tell you how to use natural light we can't be using flashes. Right?! But I got something way cooler and cheaper in mind. A 5-way reflector wup wup! 🙂 No seriously a 5-way reflector is super cool Its light it can be small and it definitely is awesome!!! Are you not as thrilled as me? Read the rest of the post and think that again. 😉
- You can use it as a fill light
For example, use the white side to brighten up the face or to get rid of shadows in the wrong spot.
- You can defuse light with it
This is awesome for harsh sunlight. Just strip the reflector off and just use the frame also called defuser. Put it in between the sunlight and your model and voila you have super soft light. The closer you get to the subject the brighter the light will be.
- You can use it to block light
Why would I do that? Sometimes you will find a good place underneath a tree or near a bush with nice shady light. Everything is perfect there is just one sunbeam coming through the leaves directly into the nose hole of the model. That is the time when the awesome reflector in form of a defuser comes into play once again. I like to use the defuser for that because it doesn't take light away or adds any it just defuses the sunbeam and spreads it in a soft way all over the model.
- You can use it as main light source
I love to do that in sunset shots. I use the sun as a beautiful backlight and reflect it with the silver side directly onto the subject. Of course, you can archive the same thing with a flash that has ETTL to keep the bokeh which will cost a fortune and takes time to set up or just a $20 reflector.
- You can use it to create catchlights
In case you don't know a catch light is a reflection in your eyes that sets a nice accent and makes them look awesome and draws attention to them. I love to do that in almost all my pictures, but especially on cloudy days to bring the eyes out and give the picture something special. They are created by flashes, the sun, softboxes, ring lights, windows, Octaboxes or by a reflector. My favorite is to create one is a reflector because the catch light will always have the form and size of the light source. Which is in case of the reflector a big nice and round circle.
- You can even use it to create shadows
If you have problems finding interesting shadows, you can create some with the black side of the reflector. It sucks up all the light and makes some interesting soft shadows.
Final Thoughts
I know a reflector is a total mind blow 😀 OK, seriously I know a flash seems fancier and It sure has its place in photography. I still like to shoot more often with a reflector because it is easier and faster to setup and carry around. Plus one thing most people don't think about is that as soon as you use flashes you mix two very different light sources and it will almost never look natural.
I think it is actually really fun to just use light as it is and get better results than the photographer next to you in the park who brought his whole studio with him to get a decent shot while you just use a $20 gadget to archive the same or even better results.
Last but certainly not least
Using natural light on purpose will make you a better photographer who knows how to take good pictures in almost every light situation. As well as it will open your eyes to look out for interesting light situations.
Alright, that's already it for my guide and inspirational post about using natural light in photography. If you have any opinion or question please let me know in the comments and I will get to you as quick as I can.
Cheers Aaron

Inside Marcela Valladolid's (Unexpectedly!) Pink Nursery for Her Daughter: I 'Never' Thought I'd Embrace This Color
Celebrity chef Marcela Valladolid shares a peek inside her first daughter's nursery - full of owls, Mexican textiles and pink - exclusively with PEOPLE
While Marcela Valladolid may be known for her work in the kitchen, it turns out her interior-design eye is pretty enviable too.
The chef and co-host of the Emmy-nominated Food Network show The Kitchen talked to PEOPLE exclusively about her soon-to-arrive daughter's nursery, which she designed with a few very specific things in mind.
"I chose a subtle owl theme for the nursery because of its symbolism in Native American culture as a protector," says Valladolid, 38, who just launched her brand new website and blog at ChefMarcela.com.
Adds Valladolid, who is also mom to sons David, 19 months — featured in some of the nursery photos — and Fausto, 12, "If our daughter is born on or around her due date, she also happens to fall under the owl animal symbol on the calendar."

The soon-to-be mother of three, whose daughter will be her second child with fiancé Philip, incorporated pieces from Anthropologie, Folk-Project.com and Kate Spade into her little girl's nursery.
"The owl wallpaper is from the Kate Spade Collection," Valladolid, who's due in December, shares. "I spotted it while walking into a meeting in Manhattan in a showroom with a company I've been looking to work with for awhile. I instantly fell in love with it, and took it as a sign that good things were to come."
Aside from the owl theme, the room is chock full of whites, blushes and pops of yellow and gray. But Valladolid admits the "pink" route wasn't something that came naturally to her.
"As much as I thought I would NEVER be able to embrace pink, thank goodness blush rose is the color of the winter season and there are so many options from furniture to decor," she explains. "I even set my Thanksgiving table in all blush rose this year."
And the cultural influence in Valladolid's daughter's sleep space doesn't stop at Native American.
"I always like to add one or two elements that remind me and my children about our Mexican culture, so I added two gorgeous pillows from folk-project.com made from hand-embroidered Mexican textiles," she explains. "I'm using them as floor pillows."
Valladolid admits that one specific element of her little girl's room is only partly about the color match — in fact, she's already setting her daughter up to be a strong woman.
"In terms of inspiration later on, Sophia Amoruso's book Nasty Galaxy is in her dresser," she says. "Not only because of the inspiring and empowering quotes, but because it's the perfect shade of pink!"

Blake Lively has been drawing recent attention for her frequent suiting choices, but this week it's Lady Gaga's masculine look that's turning heads.
The 32-year-old wore a Marc Jacobs blazer and trousers set to the 25th annual Elle Women in Hollywood event earlier this week in Los Angeles. Upon first glance, the suit looks five times too big on her, like a little girl playing dress-up in her father's closet. On second glance it looks like that too.
Some folks online noticed how the singer/actress' ensemble looked quite a bit like the ill-fitting suits that certain NBA players would've worn circa the early 2000s. Gaga's enormous garments quickly began trending on Twitter, showing side-by-side photos of pro athletes in too-big suits next to the performer. Just like that, a meme is born.

Now where have I seen that Lady Gaga suit before?….🤔 pic.twitter.com/ZcL1Iv4GnN
— Joe (@Joe__Lang) October 17, 2018
But the truth is, Gaga's oversized suit was a calculated decision. You really think this is the kind of star who just throws something on without any consideration at all? Nope. Everything she wears is carefully considered. She's a master of using fashion as a form of self expression.
During her acceptance speech at Elle Women in Hollywood, Gaga explained that she tried on maybe 10 dresses that she thought she might wear to the event, when suddenly the Marc Jacobs suit caught her eye. Everyone that was in the room with her at the time tried to get her into one of the other designer dresses, but the A Star is Born actress wasn't having any of it.
"I began to cry. In this suit, I felt like me today. In this suit, I felt the truth of who I am well up in my gut. And then wondering what I wanted to say tonight become very clear to me," she told the crowd.
In the 20-minute long speech Gaga touched on a variety of topics including mental illness, the importance of women banding together, as well as her experience with sexual assault. The suit, she explained, was a form of empowerment.
"As a sexual assault survivor by someone in the entertainment industry, as a woman who is still not brave enough to say his name, as a woman who lives with chronic pain, as a woman who was conditioned at a very young age to listen to what men told me to do, I decided today I wanted to take the power back," she said. "Today I wear the pants."
With her progressive stance and open dialogue on such important topics, it's plain to see that these massive, symbolic pants look way better on Gaga than they ever did on any NBA player.

Here is another sneak peek from On Stage. These are two gorgeous little tags that I made for one of the make and takes. I adore the little pineapple and it is rather handy that there is a punch as I do not do fussy cutting! There is the choice of getting the stamps and coordinating punch in a bundle and as I have got the stamp set, the punch set are on the list. There are four punches – strawberry, pineapple, melon and a pear. Make a note that the 'melon' punch was used to create the slot for the ribbon.
Guess what, we have some spots! I've missed these little ink pads!
And here is the fruit basket stamp set

It is Unbelieving How Makeup Affects Your Skin.
Did you know that makeup causes "headache" too? When you put up makeup for a longtime. It makes you feel nauseous, dizzy and tired. Again the worst effect is that it causes you hairfall. Hair is the diamond to ring of beauty. If you don't have good and healthy hair, all your makeover will miss the perfect touch. The shampoos, conditioners and hair colors that you use results in thinning of hair, dandruffs, redness of scalp and hairfall.
If you have to give up your natural beauty over makeup then I think you shouldn't. Avoid makeups and be natural.

I'm having huge issues making bread and it's not getting better and I'm starting to get rather peeved by the experience. My sourdough starter failed to meet my expectations it simply didn't rise nearly enough and didn't cook sufficiently through, remaining sticky on the inside.
The bread's I've made with active dried yeast have also failed to rise sufficiently. I've tried everything I can think of and nothing. It seems that all bread making supplies these days are catering for bread makers, those stupid machines that take all the real joy out of home made bread and taste nothing like real home baked bread. All the research I've been doing on line is for nothing. I have found no sources of fresh yeast (bakers yeast) in New Zealand, and no-one seems to know what I'm talking about. The problem with bread rising is always in the yeast, at least that's what I keep being told, grrr!
