Published 2 years ago on August 11, 2017 By Alex Christoforou 1,495 Views Share Tweet A Federal Prosecutor investigating visa fraud in former DNC Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz's district was reported to have shot himself in head. Only problem is that no gun was found by police. According to The Gateway Pundit… A federal prosecutor's body was discovered on a Hollywood, Florida beach on May 24. He was shot in the head. Beranton J. Whisenant, Jr.'s body was found in May by a random individual. The police were investigating at the time to determine if Whisenant's death was a "homicide, suicide, or something else." Whisenant worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami in its major crimes unit. He was handling several visa and passport fraud cases in Debbie Wasserman Schultz's district. Now this… Officials say Beranton's death was a suicide and he shot himself in the head. But no gun was ever found. The Sun-Sentinel reports… Detectives and a medical examiner found Whisenant had shot himself in the head, Hollywood police said. Police searched for two blocks north and south of the crime scene but couldn't find the gun or any other weapon. He was assigned to the Miami office of the U.S. Attorney's Office and been hired as federal prosecutor a few months earlier. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 1 day ago on March 18, 2019 By Alex Christoforou The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the 18th consecutive week of Yellow Vests protests in Paris. Following last weeks lower participation, Saturday's Yellow Vests in Paris gathered larger crowds, with various outbreaks of violence and rioting that has been blamed on extreme elements, who French authorities claim have infiltrated the movement. "Act XVIII" of the protests has shown that the Yellow Vests have not given up. France's Champs-Élysées boulevard was where most of the violence occurred, with the street being left in a pile of broken glass and flames. One day after Paris was set ablaze, French President Emmanuel Macron cut his ski holiday short, returning to Paris and vowing to take "strong decisions" to prevent more violence.

Via Zerohedge… Paris awoke on Sunday to smouldering fires, broken windows and looted stores following the 18th consecutive Saturday of Yellow Vest protests. Around 200 people were arrested according to BFM TV, while about 80 shops near the iconic Champs Elysees had been damaged and/or looted according to AFP, citing Champs Elysees committee president Jean-Noel Reinhardt. 🇫🇷#GiletsJaunes #ActeXIII #Acte18 The devastation at the #ChampsElyssées #Paris pic.twitter.com/kaAdndFIhw — AP Photos (@ApPhotos) March 17, 2019 WATCH: This is the aftermath of the 18th straight weekend of #GiletJaunes protests in Paris pic.twitter.com/pJ1hsgAN2N — TicToc by Bloomberg (@tictoc) March 17, 2019 Stores looted, cars burnt, violence returns to Paris landmark #ChampsElysees, as #YellowVest protestors clash with French police pic.twitter.com/aVSvcT1JEX — China Xinhua News (@XHNews) March 17, 2019 The 373-year-old Saint Sulpice Roman Catholic church was set on fire while people were inside, however nobody was injured.

Macron skied on Friday, telling La Depeche du Midi "I'm going to spend two-three days here to relax, to find landscapes and friendly faces," adding "I'm happy to see the Pyrenees like that, radiant, although I know it was more difficult at Christmas" referring to the lack of snow in December. In response to Saturday's violence, Macron said over Twitter that "strong decisions" were coming to prevent more violence. Macron said some individuals — dubbed "black blocs" by French police forces — were taking advantage of the protests by the Yellow Vest grassroots movement to "damage the Republic, to break, to destroy." Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Twitter that those who excused or encouraged such violence were complicit in it. –Bloomberg The French President has family ties in the Hautes-Pyrénées, including Bagnères de Bigorre where his grandmother lived.

Published 1 day ago on March 18, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch After the 2014 Maidan revolution and the subsequent secessions of Lugansk and Donetsk in Ukraine, and after the rejoining of Crimea with its original nation of Russia, the Western media went on a campaign to prove the Russia is (/ was / was about to / had already / might / was thinking about / was planning to … etc.) invade Ukraine. For the next year or so, about every two weeks, internet news sources like Yahoo! News showed viewers pictures of tanks, box trucks and convoys to "prove" that the invasion was underway (or any of the other statuses confirming the possibilities above stated.) This information was doubtless provided to US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. Apparently, Secretary Pompeo believed this ruse, or is being paid to believe this ruse because in a speech recently, he talked about it as fact: U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Russia's annexation of Crimea and aggression in eastern Ukraine an attempt to gain access to Ukraine's oil and gas reserves. He stated this at IHS Markit's CERAWeek conference in Houston, the USA, Reuters reports. Pompeo urged the oil industry to work with the Trump administration to promote U.S. foreign policy interests, especially in Asia and in Europe, and to punish what he called "bad actors" on the world stage. The United States has imposed harsh sanctions in the past several months on two major world oil producers, Venezuela and Iran. Pompeo said the U.S. oil-and-gas export boom had given the United States the ability to meet energy demand once satisfied by its geopolitical rivals. "We don't want our European allies hooked on Russian gas through the Nord Stream 2 project, any more than we ourselves want to be dependent on Venezuelan oil supplies," Pompeo said, referring to a natural gas pipeline expansion from Russia to Central Europe. Pompeo called Russia's invasion of Ukraine an attempt to gain access to the country's oil and gas reserves. Although the state-run news agency Vesti News often comes under criticism for rather reckless, or at least, extremely sarcastic propaganda at times, here they rightly nailed Mr. Pompeo's lies to the wall and billboarded it on their program: The news anchors even made a wisecrack about one of the political figures, Konstantin Zatulin saying as a joke that Russia plans to invade the United States to get its oil. They further noted that Secretary Pompeo is uneducated about the region and situation, but they offered him the chance to come to Russia and learn the correct information about what is going on. To wit, Russia has not invaded Ukraine at all. There is no evidence to support such a claim, while there IS evidence to show that the West is actively interfering with Russia through the use of Ukraine as a proxy. While this runs counter to the American narrative, it is simply the truth. Ukraine appears to be the victim of its own ambitions at this point, for while the US tantalizes the leadership of the country and even interferes with the Orthodox Church in the region, the country lurches towards a presidential election with three very poor candidates, most notably the one who is president there now, Petro Poroshenko. However, the oil and gas side of the anti-Russian propaganda operation by the US is significant. The US wishes for Europe to buy gas from American suppliers, even though this is woefully inconvenient and expensive when Russia is literally at Europe's doorstep with easy supplies. However, the Cold War Party in the United States, which still has a significant hold on US policy making categorizes the sale of Russia gas to powers like NATO ally Germany as a "threat" to European security. It is interesting that Angela Merkel herself does not hold this line of thinking. It is also interesting and worthy of note, that this is not the only NATO member that is dealing more and more with Russia in terms of business. It underscores the loss of purpose that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization suffers now since there is no Soviet Union to fight. However, the US remains undaunted. If there is no enemy to fight, the Americans feel that they must create one, and Russia has been the main scapegoat for American power ambitions. More than ever now, this tactic appears to be the one in use for determining the US stance towards other powers in the world. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest Ariel Cohen exposes Washington's latest twist in anti-Russia strategy [Video] Excellent interview Ariel Cohen and Vladimir Solovyov reveals the forces at work in and behind American foreign policy. Published 1 day ago on March 18, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch While the American people and press are pretty much complicit in reassuring the masses that America is the only "right" superpower on earth, and that Russia and China represent "enemy threats" for doing nothing more than existing and being successfully competitive in world markets, Russia Channel One got a stunner of a video interview with Ariel Cohen. Who is Ariel Cohen? Wikipedia offers this information about him: Ariel Cohen (born April 3, 1959 in Crimea in Yalta, USSR) is a political scientist focusing on political risk, international security and energy policy, and the rule of law.[1] Cohen currently serves as the Director of The Center for Energy, Natural Resources and Geopolitics (CENRG) at the Institute for Analysis of Global Security (IAGS). CENRG focuses on the nexus between energy, geopolitics and security, and natural resources and growth. He is also a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, within the Global Energy Center and the Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center.[2] Until July 2014, Dr. Cohen was a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. He specializes in Russia/Eurasia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Cohen has testified before committees of the U.S. Congress, including the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees, the House Armed Services Committee, the House Judiciary Committee and the Helsinki Commission.[4] He also served as a Policy Adviser with the National Institute for Public Policy's Center for Deterrence Analysis.[5] In addition, Cohen has consulted for USAID, the World Bank and the Pentagon.[6][7] Cohen is a frequent writer and commentator in the American and international media. He has appeared on CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX, C-SPAN, BBC-TV and Al Jazeera English, as well as Russian and Ukrainian national TV networks. He was a commentator on a Voice of America weekly radio and TV show for eight years. Currently, he is a Contributing Editor to the National Interest and a blogger for Voice of America. He has written guest columns for the New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, EurasiaNet, Valdai Discussion Club,[8] and National Review Online. In Europe, Cohen's analyses have appeared in Kommersant, Izvestiya, Hurriyet, the popular Russian website Ezhenedelny Zhurnal, and many others.[9][10] Mr. Cohen came on Russian TV for a lengthy interview running about 17 minutes. This interview, shown in full below, is extremely instructive in illustrating the nature of the American foreign policy directives such as they are at this time. We have seen evidence of this in recent statements by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo regarding Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine, and an honestly unabashed bit of fear mongering about China's company Huawei and its forthcoming 5G networks, which we will investigate in more detail in another piece. Both bits of rhetoric reflect a re-polished narrative that, paraphrased, says to the other world powers, Either you do as we tell you, or you are our enemy. You are not even permitted to out-compete with us in business, let alone foreign relations. The world is ours and if you try to step out of place, you will be dealt with as an enemy power. This is probably justified paranoia, because it is losing its place. Where the United Stated used to stand for opposition against tyranny in the world, it now acts as the tyrant, and even as a bully. Russia and China's reaction might be seen as ignoring the bully and his bluster and just going about doing their own thing. It isn't a fight, but it is treating the bully with contempt, as bullies indeed deserve. Ariel Cohen rightly points out that there is a great deal of political inertia in the matter of allowing Russia and China to just do their own thing. The US appears to be acting paranoid about losing its place. His explanations appear very sound and very reasonable and factual. Far from some of the snark Vesti is often infamous for, this interview is so clear it is tragic that most Americans will never see it. The tragedy for the US leadership that buys this strategy is that they appear to be blinded so much by their own passion that they cannot break free of it to save themselves. This is not the first time that such events have happened to an empire. It happened in Rome; it happened for England; and it happened for the shorter-lived empires of Nazi Germany and ISIS. It happens every time that someone in power becomes afraid to lose it, and when the forces that propelled that rise to power no longer are present. The US is a superpower without a reason to be a superpower. That can be very dangerous. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Instagram has reportedly altered their security measures one more time today as users are now reporting that posts are sticking via third-party Windows Phone app Instance. Indeed, we can confirm via our own account that the third party app is working, but there is a catch: images are posted as private and not public.
Why the sudden change? We have no idea, though possibly there was some bad PR that Instagram was facing with the earlier move, which is said to have not been deliberately targeting third party apps. Of course, this has been a wild saga over the last 24 hours and for all we know, Instagram may make some API changes yet again to re-start the problem. Your guess is as good as ours.
But at least for now, Windows Phone users can pretend that they're part of the "it crowd" by using Instance and other third party apps. (Still want a backup? See our earlier post on two other methods that will work for the foreseeable future.)
To recap, Instagram changed their API for posting to their service in the last 24 hours. The measures were said to be security related to prevent spamming and other potential problems. According to Instagram's PR, third party apps were not purposefully targeted, though it did have that side effect--any non-authorized app posting to Instagram would have their image deleted within 15 seconds. Windows Phone developers Rudy Huyn and Daniel Gary were trying to work on a fix, with Huyn reportedly figuring a work around via his PC. However, getting that fix into a Windows Phone app was going to be a challenge. Luckily, they may not have to do anything.

The first volume of An Encyclopedia of Archetypal Symbolism was a stunning collection of color images and text organized around mythic themes that follow the solar calendar from cosmos and creation to death, transformation, and rebirth. In this second volume, the focus is the human body as a carrier of deep psychological insights and sacred meanings.
Whether idolized or abused, the body is the object of much fascinated attention, even obsessive preoccupation, in the contemporary Western world. What has been missing from our culture's preoccupation is an appreciation of the body's organs as symbols of the deepest contents of the human psyche. This book surveys the richness of meaning found in a wide range of beautiful sacred images from the world's traditions and explains what the symbolism of our physical form teaches us about the inner realities of our consciousness, spirit, and divine essence.
"This extraordinary book offers a rare opportunity for both layperson and scholar to encounter and gain insight into the living symbols that reveal the sacred incarnated in the physical world." —Linda Schierse Leonard, author of Creation's Heartbeat: Following the Reindeer Spirit
"Volume 2 of this encyclopedia comes when we need it most-just when the body is coming back into the core of spiritual and religious concern. Organ by organ, from the heel of Achilles to the circumcision of Christ, The Body is an essential handbook for today's thought." —T. George Harris, editor of Deeper Health in Spirituality, Science, and Community

Just a quick note about this: since many of you met LeNell Smothers at Tales of the Cocktail this year, I wanted to put it out there that she's lost the lease for her store in Brooklyn and is looking for a new storefront. She has to vacate by next summer. It might seem that 10-12 months is a long time, but when you have to find and possibly renovate a new location, that's a crunch.
The Times has the full story. I meant to link out to this earlier, but the week got away from me.
She runs one of the best liquor stores in the whole damn country, and she's a great person to boot, so keep her in your thoughts.

You gotta love Erik Buell. Say what you will about his motorcycles, but the guy and his team live outside of the box, and it's awesome. When Geoff May had an off at Miller Motorsports Park, and launched his Erik Buell Racing 1125RR into the air, the result was this busted PVM forged magnesium rear-wheel.
While most teams would throw it into the scrap heap, EBR is instead auctioning it off on eBay to help raise the funds needed for a replacement wheel. That's entrepreneurship at it's finest folks. The only thing that makes this auction better, is the description that follows.

Suggested hardiness zones are indicated by each tree. For example, zones 4–9 means a tree is hardy in zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zone map (click here and use your zip code to see what zone you live in). If a tree is "hardy" in a particular zone, it can be expected to grow in the zone's temperature extremes. These zones do not take into account local variations such as moisture, soil, winds, and other conditions which might affect the viability of individual trees.
To be sure that your trees arrive in strong and healthy condition, we ship bare-root nursery stock only when it is dormant in the fall and spring seasons. Fall shipments are made between November 1 and December 10. We have to wait until there are a couple of killing frosts so that the trees go dormant and can be shipped safely. In the fall, trees can be planted until the ground is frozen solid. Spring shipments are made between February 26 and May 31. In the spring, bare-root trees can be planted during a broad range of weeks or months -- from when the frost is first out of the ground through late spring. Your trees will be sent according to your local climate and this year's weather.
Let us know right away if your trees do not arrive in good condition for planting and we will replace them free of charge. If you need replacements later you may purchase them in units of 10 for $7.80, plus shipping and handling. Please call our Member Services department at 1-888-448-7337.

Boys' reading skills 'must be tackled'
BBC |July 1, 2012
By Hannah Richardson BBC News education reporter
The reading gap between boys and girls in England is widening but there is no official strategy to address it, a report says.
The All-Party Parliamentary Literacy Group Commission says some boys find reading "nerdish" and receive less parental encouragement than girls.
It calls for action in schools, home and communities.
The government said it was focusing on getting every child to read using phonics and reading for enjoyment.
The Boys' Reading Commission took evidence from teachers, 226 schools and 21,000 young people in the UK .
Its report, compiled by the National Literacy Trust, found that although there had been improvements in boys' reading since the National Literacy Strategy was introduced in 1998, in recent years the gender gap had started to widen again.
Last year, 80% of boys reached the expected level in reading at age 11 compared with 88% of girls.
In the early years of secondary school the gap widens further, with boys outstripped by girls in English by 12 percentage points at age 14.
Last year, 59% of boys achieved an A* to C in English GCSE compared to 73% of girls.
The findings also suggest girls are enjoying reading more than boys and that this difference has been intensifying in recent years.
The report also notes that gaps in achievement between the genders have been tackled before.
It says: "During the 1970s and 1980s, the consistent underperformance of girls in maths and science was a major concern.
"While these issues have been successfully addressed, concerns have shifted to the underperformance of boys in reading and English."
But it adds: "However, there is evidence of the literacy gender gap has been around for some time, with girls outperforming boys for perhaps as long as 60 years."
The commission suggests it is the interplay of the school system, the home environment and gender identity that can have a negative impact on boys' reading.
But it notes that many boys experience no literacy difficulties at all and that concepts which label all boys as "victims of the system" should be avoided.
Commission chairman Gavin Barwell MP said specific action to address the gender issue was required.
He said: "Not all boys struggle with reading and while the literacy gender gap is seen internationally, there are notable exceptions including Chile and the Netherlands.
"Something we are doing as a society is making boys more likely to fail at reading."
Expert witnesses to the inquiry raised concerns about the teaching of reading which places an exclusive emphasis on decoding words through synthetic phonics.
Contributors including former children's laureate Michael Rosen stressed the importance of encouraging the enjoyment of reading.
The commission also examined the influence of the home environment on reading ability.
It cites earlier research which suggests parents do not support boys in their reading to the same extent as they support girls.
This is backed up by National Literacy Trust research which found that boys are less likely to be given books as presents.
Children's author Michael Morpurgo said: "The problem is cultural and deep-seated, therefore unlikely to be resolved quickly. The effort to turn things round has to be multi-faceted and has to be sustained over decades."
Schools minister Nick Gibb said: "Reading for pleasure is key to boosting a young person's life chances. As a government, improving reading standards in schools is central to all our education reforms.
"Through phonics we are ensuring all children learn the mechanics of reading early in their school career.
"Helping children to develop a love of reading and a habit of reading for pleasure every day is key to ensuring we have well educated and literate young people by the time they leave school."
The National Union of Teachers' general secretary Christine Blower said gender was a significant factor, but not the only one at play in determining performance in and attitudes to reading.
She added: "As the inquiry recognised, school libraries and dedicated school librarians also play a key role in fostering the interest of all children in a wide range of books and reading materials.
"With the pressure on school places in many areas school are closing their libraries and losing the expertise which has long supported children's reading."
She also called for the early reading curriculum, with its intense focus on phonics, to be less prescriptive.

College majors are a funny thing. Some students know exactly what they want to major in before they even start the school year. Others don't declare until a year or so down the road. Some choose one knowing they could potentially earn a lot of money. Others follow in their parents' footsteps. The list goes on.
Our advice has always been to earn a degree in something that will lend itself to a career path that you can be passionate about. It can be uncommon, broad, challenging. As long as you love it, and can find some type of career doing it, go for it.
We took a look at the most popular college degrees, defined here as the number of degrees conferred in any given major.
Business was the most popular degree in 2007-2008, according to the 2010 Digest of Education Statistics from the U.S. Department of Education. Of the 1,601,368 bachelor's degrees awarded by degree-granting institutions, 346,972 were for degree in business, management, marketing and related support services.

Health professions and related clinical sciences: 120,488
Education: 101,708
Visual and performing arts: 89,140
Engineering and engineering technologies: 84,636
Communication and communication technologies: 83,109
Biological and biomedical sciences: 80,956
If you're thinking about earning your bachelor's degree in any of the above fields, here are some possible careers that line up with market demands:

A bachelor's degree is often adequate for entry-level jobs, but you may need a higher degree for advancement and more technical positions.
Job prospects: Employment is expected to increase approximately 28 percent from 2008-2018
Career: Human resources analyst
A lot of schools don't offer specific programs for human resources, so many employers look for college graduates with a technical or business background or a well-rounded liberal arts education.
Job prospects: Employment is expected to increase approximately 22 percent from 2008-2018.

Work to partially demolish the former Doncaster High School for Girls has got underway.
The distinctive green domed building on the corner of Chequer Road and Waterdale is being stripped out with bulldozers moving in to break down the rear of the building.
The frontage of the Edwardian building, which is 104 years old, has been a landmark in Doncaster town centre and is set to be preserved with plans to create a boutique style hotel on the site, although it is not thought any developers have been found for the scheme.
The demolition is the latest in a long line of demolition projects in the town centre to create the new £300 million Civic and Cultural Quarter.
The Council House was blown up in a spectacular controlled explosion last month and the Civic Theatre has also bitten the dust, along with Scarborough House on Chequer Road to make way for new homes, shops and restaurants.
The old Doncaster College was knocked down to make way for the new Civic Offices, Cast and Sir Nigel Gresley Square while Grade II listed St James' Baths, which sits in the middle of the development site, faces an uncertain future after being found to be structurally unsound last year. It has remained closed and boarded up ever since.

My Y'11s are 3 weeks away from their GCSE exam (!) so thought I'd share a couple of worksheets I made to help them practise some of the topics they've been struggling with.
Mixed negatives
Mean from grouped frequency
Fractions of amounts
The worksheets are all randomly generated and have a locking function to stop cheating, useful if you take a class to a computer suite.
I'm sure I'm a lot more worried about their exams than they are sometimes.
The finish line is in sight now, then I'll have plenty of time to program some more maths games hopefully!
Good worksheets!

Scherezade: Paradise Redefined
Altschul Lehman wing
5 January 6, 2006
New York-based artist, Scherezade is creating a large-scale, multimedia
installation that will open at the Lehman College Art Gallery on October
17 and run through December 15. The reception will take place on November
9 from 5:00-7:00 pm. The public is invited to attend.
Scherezades installation is inspired by the hopes and dreams of
the close-knit Dominican communities of New York City where she finds
endless complexity in the process of assimilation. The installation examines
the issue of what really defines home and national identity and it explores
the expectations of finding a paradise on new soil with its promise for
the future.
In the installation, soft sculptures resembling tents are lighted from
within and serve as a metaphor for hearth and home as well as transience.
Their outer surfaces are printed with images of the city and graffiti-like
drawings. Religious and cultural symbols are also incorporated into the
drawings along with glimpses of tropical landscapes. The rich diversity
of the Dominican people is evident in the printed imagery. Sounds of the
city and home conversations mingle and emerge from within the sculptures.
The work evokes memories of another time and place and alludes to the
larger, universal saga of the immigrant experience.
Preparatory drawings and studies will accompany the installation. The
exhibition will also include La Gloriosa", an animated video
that references merengue and island
exhibition is made possible in part with grants from the New York State
Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Flickr Using Questionable Excuse To Take Down Photos From Egypt
from the unfortunate deptOn Friday, after Clay Shirky's excellent talk about social media and the Middle East at SXSW, someone in the audience pointed out how some photos from Egypt of secret service agents had been removed from Flickr. Shirky later tweeted a link to coverage of the takedown letter, which mentions vague terms of service violations. Yahoo later came out and claimed the images were taken down because they weren't taken by the uploader. Of course, as some have pointed out, that's a bogus excuse, since plenty of people -- including Flickr's top employees -- regularly post images that they did not create. And, of course, in true Streisand Effect fashion, all this has really done is call that much more attention to the images and information that was taken down.

Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire police forces have backtracked on a plan to outsource IT and human resource services to G4S.
The forces said in August last year that they were still considering the deal, despite G4S coming under fire for under-supplying security staff for the London Olympic Games over the summer. However, according to the BBC, the plan has now collapsed after Police and Crime Commissioners rejected it.
Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire are now planning to increase collaboration to cut costs. The three Police and Crime Commissioners are in the process of formalising the decision.
G4S' CEO, Nick Buckles, confirmed to MPs in July that problems with the company's scheduling system was partly to blame for the shortfall of over 3,000 security staff for the Games.
Speaking at a parliamentary committee meeting, Buckles told MPs that he got a call from the group's COO, David Taylor Smith, on 3 July, while he was on holiday in the US, citing problems with the company's rostering software.

"Wrestling is made to weed out the weak and the people that don't belong."
-- Scotty Mac, This Wrestling Life
Ever notice that whenever you go to an independent wrestling show, there's always someone around with a video camera recording everything? And why wouldn't there be, really, considering the carnival freak show that is wrestling? A wrestling show brings together freaks of all ages and creeds, all with different ambitions and agendas. In the feature-length documentary This Wrestling Life, the camera is pointed at four such freaks: a wrestler running out of time to make into the big leagues; a young kid determined to follow in his hero's footsteps; a young woman grappling with learning the ropes and her own personal limitations and a gay man trying to make it as a referee.
The documentary, directed by Stephen Gillis, a self-taught filmmaker, does something few documentaries of its ilk do: tell the stories of a handful of regular people as they make their way through the insane world of professional wrestling. There is no main storyline in the film, only an overarching theme about the perils and pitfalls of pro wrestling as seen through the eyes of ordinary people with ordinary problems.
The director picked the four subjects for his film carefully. A fan of wrestling for most of his life, Gillis was always fascinated with the characters of the sport and the storytelling they did in the ring. While spending some time recovering from Crohn's disease, he had the chance to re-watch epic storylines from the classic era of wrestling (i.e. the destruction the Mega Powers) and began to think about putting his skills to work to make a film about the sport he loves.
"I started coming up with ideas for a documentary on wrestling," Gillis explained. "I met a producer who didn't like any of the angles I had at first so I threw out the idea of following an independent wrestling promotion for awhile and a year later, we were going into production."
Gillis focused on the premier independent wrestling promotion in the Vancouver area, Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling. The first person he wanted to focus on was its main performer, the enigmatic and well-known Scotty Mac. Scotty was approaching 30 and had wrestled for many years but despite all his skills, had yet to make it to the big dance and Gillis wanted to capture the struggle Scotty endured as he began to wonder if he was ever destined to be anything other than an independent attraction. It was a compelling idea but the angle was soon altered.
"On our first day of shooting, there was changing of the guard," Gillis recalled. Dave Republic, the owner of ECCW who had led the company for many years, sold the company and Scotty Mac took over as the promotion's driving force, also replacing (then ECCW-wrestler) Disco Fury as lead booker. "So they were supposed to work together but had a Shawn/Bret thing going on. They did not like each other and I thought this could be a great storyline in the film, but within a couple of weeks, Disco left the company and never really liked us filming him."
That's when Gillis met Travis, a young man who aspired to be just like Scotty Mac. Travis had enrolled in ECCW's Slam Academy and was working on becoming a wrestler himself. In this, Gillis saw another opportunity.
"Once I found out Travis was joining the school and I learned about his relationship with Scotty, I knew this would be our main story. Then I found Natalie and Bill and realised I had the four greatest people to film. So we did."
Natalie was Scotty's roommate and good friend at the time of the filming and their relationship was undergoing considerable strain. Natalie was not as committed as Scotty was to the wrestling business, but to be fair, few people are. Bill was also a student of Slam Academy and has the unique distinction of being openly gay. It's this storyline that provides some of the more interesting and thought-provoking moments in the film.
Referee training is not something that has ever received an abundance of attention, but This Wrestling Life shines a bit of a spotlight on this overlooked area of pro wrestling. There's a particularly jarring sequence where Bill endures taunts from other wrestlers and is singled out for being gay. You can see the struggle the young man faces and he talks about it openly during an interview by a local lake. Another sequence showcases a particularly brutal training session where the students are instructed to do 500 squats. Another scene shows Bill enduring painful training that may make the viewer feel more than a little uneasy. These are the film's shining moments as they bring us a side of wrestling few people ever get the chance to see.
Bill's homosexuality is the elephant in the room but, oddly, does not receive more than a glancing blow in the movie. It would have been interesting to see the issue explored in more detail, but there is still a lot of stuff happening in this film, so some scenes were likely edited out. Bill's sexual orientation does come up and is actually used in creating his gimmick. At one point, just before Bill goes out to ref a match, a wrestler encourages him and says, "Just be really gay."
It's an interesting social commentary and it's not the only one in the film. For his part, Travis' life has not been easy as his father and mother have each been struggling with their own personal demons. These ongoing struggles have quite clearly affected Travis' home life. At one point in the film, Scotty shows up at his house to take him to training and you can see Travis' demeanour change and it's almost as if Scotty is the light at the end of the tunnel for the young man. Wrestling is Travis' way out.
To illustrate this point, Travis brings up a comment his father makes about his mother. "My dad's comment about my mother was kind of uncalled for, but ... I'm proud of her. She's currently 11 and a half years clean and that is something I can respect. My dad's part ....well, it worked out. And I showed the feelings that I had way before the movie."
It's been Travis' dream ever since he was six to become a professional wrestler. So it's a big deal for him to be training at Slam Academy with his hero, Scotty Mac. But some of his naivet� is shown as Travis puts maybe a little too much faith in his wrestling future.
"This whole match can make or break me," Travis says before his official debut in an ECCW ring. "I've been pushing myself to go as far as I can go and here I am today -- 18 years old, doing my first student show. From there, it's Surrey, Vancouver, and then only a few more steps �til the big time."
An interesting statement considering Scotty himself has not taken those "few steps" after more than a decade in this business. Scotty�s own struggles are well-captured in the film as it shows him dealing not only with his own wrestling career but also with the issues he is having with Natalie. Personal details are shared with the viewing audience and at one point, Scotty even breaks down a bit, a total surprise to those who know him well.
"I wouldn't have done anything differently," Scotty replied when asked if there is anything he could have changed about his appearance in the documentary. "That's me. That's ECCW. That was what happened. This film showed our lives whether the moments were happy, sad, easy or hard. It was a very accurate depiction of a tight-knit independent wrestling company and the people in it. And there are companies like us all over the place so I'm glad Stephen helped us tell the world our story."
Gillis is proud of his work and the way it has been received thus far. This Wrestling Life has been showcased at a few film festivals and has also been shown on Superchannel, and is being shown there again in the month of January. Looking back and after seeing the final result, Gillis is proud of his film and feels he treated the industry and the people in it fairly.
"I am very proud of the fact that wrestling and non-wrestling fans can sit beside each other and watch something about wrestling and be engaged, laugh and maybe even cry. That was the goal from the outset, to try and bring together both audiences and to showcase an art form I have loved since I was very young age and not in a dark, grimy, scuzzy way. I think this film humanizes the wrestlers more than any other attempt. This is as real as it gets I think."
The film is real, that point cannot be argued. At times gritty and other times melodramatic, This Wrestling Life shines a light on a world often cloaked in darkness. Where movies like The Wrestler focus on one man's story, this film showcases the strains and stresses faced by a group of young men and women who are struggling to live a dream. It helps that the movie is professionally produced and edited and contains its own original soundtrack, making it a genuine work on an interesting subject.
The film isn't likely to change your view on independent wrestling, but that was never its purpose. It's called This Wrestling Life precisely because it's not about wrestling, but about the lives of those who choose the sport as their passion, whether in or outside the ring. This said, the film might be a little too narrow in its focus, skipping over some opportunities to show viewers some of the true drama that goes on behind the scenes, but perhaps that is by design. (Scotty Mac's one and only appearance in a WWE ring could not be shown because of a rights issue, for example.)
In the end, the movie is about people, those crazy freaks who envelop themselves in the carnival known as professional wrestling. As Scotty Mac puts it in the film, "We're just a bunch of misfits that fit well together." And in a nutshell, that's This Wrestling Life.
