The Missionary
Volume 1 - Prologue
Author's Note: Hey there and welcome to The Missionary. What follows, for this particular chapter is the revised (arguably much better!) first chapter of the story. If you enjoy what you read, please feel free to leave a review. If something doesn't work out for you by all means let me know! I hope you find this as entertaining to read as I have in writing it!
"It was the start of the warming season this week but my offer to help Eveningstar was summarily ignored yet again. . . I tried to approach Lord Winters but she wasn't remotely interested in seeing me and my best efforts to speak to the farmers. Those people that tried to help raise me when my parents were murdered, I'm not the same person to them any more. I walk through the village and people ignore my presence or look down on me when they think I can't tell. I have friends, of course, mostly the children I used to babysit when the war came but if their parents let them out to greet me at all it's short lived and the warmth quickly dies when they tell me about the 'horrible monster' their parents tell them that I've become.
I can't help what she did to herself. I tried to help her, I really did. I loved her because of who she was inspite of those things she'd done. I believed that she could have become more and I am not ashamed of that. I won't be, because I know that at Her very core, Chauntea's teaches us about growth and the cycle of life that is innate in everything we do. Yes, she sold her soul, but dammit she tried to do better. She tried.
She tried. And nobody but me believed in her.
I am not ashamed."
-Diary of Kathrine Stoneriver
It had started with one bottle of mead.
She knew better. It always started that way.
Yet she sat there staring blankly at what she'd written with her quill poised over the damp page ready to stab at it again to somehow give meaning to the swirl of words behind her eyes. Their meanings were constantly in flux and just how they went together felt like a mystery she needed to explore to take her mind off of what'd already gone past. How could she have given Jezebel's life any more meaning without opening it to the scrutiny of judgment by her logical mind- that stupid voice that insisted she'd been a fool to try to help the damned woman in the first place. What gave her that right?
Kathrine picked up one of the half dozen empty bottles near her and tipped it up trying to suck the last drop of nectar from the beveled glass. She just wanted it to go away for a while. That stupid voice. That stupid, stupid voice.
The voice that said redemption was possible.
Tears welled up in her eyes when she slammed the bottle down with righteous anger but her feeble strength was no match for the sturdy glass and instead of creating the thunk she knew it should've sounded like, the bottle simply clinked on the polished table top. Much like her life, there was just too much lacking for it to leave any solid, meaningful impact.
"Hey. . . Long day?" A soft voice whispered from her left and despite everything that Kathrine wanted to say, the only thing she could do was weep. It just needed to come out. She was done smiling, she was done laughing, she just wanted peace for a day. Was that too much to ask for?
A slender hand came to rest on Kathrine's back before rubbing her shoulders back and forth in a slow pattern that only registered on the fringes of her mind but in another moment an arm came around her shoulders and someone was pulling her into a hug. She didn't flinch away though her mind wanted to. The arms pulled her into warmth and didn't let go when she tried to pull away, they were gentle and tender yet Kathrine couldn't see who they belonged to. "It's okay, sweety. . . Let it out."
She did. For a long time she wept in the strangers arms to the sound of a soft cooing whisper telling her everything was alright. Maybe it was her mother, maybe she'd look up and see her light blonde hair and button nose, smiling down at her little girl with that odd twinkle she got whenever she knew she was right. Kathrine sniffled and turned her head into soft flesh of her bosom and abruptly froze. She knew something was wrong, the part of her that wanted to believe was dying and slowly she came into an understanding of what it was she was actually doing. She didn't want to let go of the woman's warmth but this wasn't right, it wasn't fair to her. But so what? She was entitled to being selfish once in a while too, wasn't she?
Slowly Kathrine opened her eyes and looked up to see a smiling face looking down at her framed by waves of coppery red hair and a curious pair of half moon glasses resting at the very edge of her nose. Her eyes were a deep set green full of vitality and intelligence yet also holding a gentle understanding that spoke of years beyond her apparent mid twenties. Her warmth was reassuring yet her eyes even more so, drawing out the secrets Kathrine wanted to share, pulling on those strings that told her everything wasn't alright. She didn't have to speak to tell Kat that she was there for her if she needed anything, it was implied in her arms as the breath lingered into a moment between them. She smiled softly and reached up, stroking Kat's hair out of her eyes. "Feel better?"
She sniffed. "Not really. . ."
The woman's fingers traced little lines through her hair, furrowing neatly spaced rows through her platinum blonde mess. She suddenly became acutely aware of not having brushed her hair before coming out of her room but she couldn't bring herself to care right at that moment. "All things pass in time, sweety. Wanna talk about it?"
How could she? How could she explain to a complete stranger what they'd gone through to bring Jezebel to the light. How, in the end, it'd meant nothing at all. Her voice cracked the second she opened her mouth choking out a timid whimper through sheer force of will more than any conscious effort to speak. "I'm sorry, I. . . I don't."
"It's okay." The woman's voice didn't change in the least from its warm, reassuring tone, even as she slid herself closer to Kathrine and pulled her into a warm hug. "It's okay."
Kat closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around the woman's silk covered back, resting her chin on her shoulder. The scents of vanilla, lilac and jasmine with a soft undertone of bathing oils fluttered through the tight space between them, filling Kathrine's mind with images of a warm bed in a quiet place far away from Arabel, far away from even Eveningstar. It was her private sanctuary from the world and it existed nowhere but in her mind. There was always vanilla there. She nuzzled into the scent drawing in a deep breath and sighing it out along with her wordly concerns. That'd be her private place and no one would take it.
Kathrine flinched. "Uh. S- sorry."
"Don't be." The woman stroked her back. "You looked like you needed it."
Slowly she managed to open her eyes, surveying the room around her. Most of the other patrons of the planar bar were busy with their own conversations and introspections; a sphinx was playing chess with some elven man who looked like a wizard while opposite them a blonde haired man in a dusty looking overcoat was nursing a bottle of water in front of a book. He cast a glance at Kathrine, perhaps feeling her eyes on him, and then went back to his book. "T-. . . Thanks." Kathrine swallowed as she closed her eyes again and turned to the woman's ear. With a barely audible breath she forced herself to speak. "I'd really like some company."
The woman didn't hesitate, patting her back lightly. "Alright, sweety. . ."
Kathrine awoke with a throbbing ache in the back of her skull and the mixed scents of vanilla and sweat lingering on her skin. She was warm and comfortable and safe here. Why did the world insist on dragging her back when she was in the embrace of such warmth?
She moved tentatively, only barely opening her bleary eyes to find the warmth she was wrapped around in her arms wasn't entirely human- coated in a thin bristle of tawny fur and leopard spots the woman looked more like the Tabaxi Kathrine had been reading about than the red haired curvy woman she'd met last night. Or was it this morning? She sighed, pressing her forehead to the back of the woman's coppery mane trying to will the world away for another few hours. If she was patient and good and if she wished hard enough, it would and she'd be left to her silent piece of heaven for a little while longer.
The woman stirred a little forcing Kat to open her eyes, to reconsider the situation. She was a wizard, she'd been more than willing to indulge Kat's fantasies and yet she hadn't even so much as given her name. Nor had Kat, if she remembered correctly. They'd talked for hours and-
Oh dammit-
Kat looked over her shoulder toward the dresser beside the bed. A golden sextant turned slowly on an intricate silver dias who's inlays had begun glowing a faint orange between last night and this morning. They were fading into a shade of soft red even as Kat drew in a breath and sighed it out. Just beyond the sextant, a small hourglass continued to empty the top half of its sand into the bottom. She was loosing time.
Slowly she disentangled herself from the polymorphed woman and pulled the covers back, sipping out into the cool 'morning' air. Though time didn't pass normally in the planar inn, Mitchifer kept a set of rooms for humans that mimicked the passage of normal time so people could keep their bearings early in the morning or late at night. Supposedly it made the transition back to the Prime Material just that much easier. Right now it just gave Kat goose bumps. She tucked the blankets around the woman's form and started towards her equipment, stopping when she saw her reflection in the mirror.
It was already shaping up to be an odd day.
Not that standing naked in front of a mirror in a bar sandwiched between multiple planes was somehow normal to most people but it was made more odd by the trepidation that flowed through Kathrine's mind. She'd been planning the trip for weeks, making sure all the preparations for her were in place and double checking the planar coordinates to her destination; accounting for shifts in the multiverse and the alignment of her destination to the Prime, her window of opportunity was opening within the hour yet she still had doubts.
Finally getting up enough courage to actually leave Arabel and Cormyr proper was something else, entirely. One could spend all eternity preparing for any possible outcome yet ninteen years of her life had weathered many storms and seen many beautiful sunrises but in the end it was the grey clouds hanging thick in the sky that refused to break which had finally chosen her path for her. In a world that refused to see Lathander's light break the sky, not because it was impossible but for the simple avarice that so many would be rulers shared and pressed upon their people.
And Jezebel. . .
She sighed softly bringing her slender arms over her breasts and closed her eyes imagining they were her hands. For all her faults, and there were many, none of them could've washed away the warmth Kathrine still felt for her. The had saved her soul from the pact in the end, it was something she could hold on to but if she imagined hard enough she could feel the woman's hands holding her close in the muted light, her sweet smelling hair brushing against her cheek and those soft words meant only for her. . .
But that was gone. Just like her parents. She couldn't pretend otherwise anymore.
"Mrrrrr. Good morning. . ." A sultry purr cooed in her right ear as powerful hands came around her stomach and a firm pressure of someone who's weight was easily several times Kathrine's own pressed against her back. Comforting and reassuring, the fine fuzz of the taller woman's body bristled against Kat's pale skin causing her to shiver involuntarily. A split second later a thick tail coiled around her thigh, pulling her closer still into the stronger woman's embrace while her tongue brushed Kat's earlobe from behind leading into a playful kiss planted on her ear.
Kathrine couldn't help but sink back against the woman, still afraid to open her eyes even though she knew what she would see. What she wanted, though, was different. She wanted what she'd never have again. She wanted to see blonde hair, those pouted lips and brown eyes that held the commanding malevolent stare which put her in full control; full of strength and fire- Those same eyes that stared at her from atop the pyre as the flames rose. . .
Kat's eyes shot open to stop the memory from flooding back.
Grey eyes, her own, the first thing she saw; bright green slitted eyes next to her watched her, patient and curious. The woman holding her nuzzled against Kat's cheek with the faint bristling of ultra fine whiskers against her flesh, her feline features echoed in the strength of her grip as her hands came to hold Kat's hips from either side. The woman's bright red hair mingled in to Kat's platinum blonde creating a strawberry shortcake color that she really hadn't recognized before but somehow made her smile at the thought. The woman continued to purr lightly against Kathrine and inhaled deeply as though trying to memorize her scent. When she opened her mouth again, Kat turned her head upward to bear her throat to the woman submissively, without a moment's hesitation, the woman sunk her teeth into Kathrine's neck, her sharp canines pressing deep into her flesh threatening to break the skin. Kat's heart hammered against her chest at the sudden loss of control.
"Mmph." The woman pulled her close, leaning back to take some of Kathrine's weight, still holding her close to her fur covered body. With a soft sigh she pulled back releasing Kat's neck and kissing her ear before she pulled her into a hug, spinning her on her heels without giving her any choice in the matter. "I've been waiting to do that since last night. . . You're definitely a Chauntean. . . So very. . . giving."
Kat whimpered softly, pressing her temple to the taller woman's fuzzy chest. She bit into her lower lip, finally after several moments she brought her slender hand up around her shoulders in an awkward hug. She sighed into the woman's chest choking back a light sob. She couldn't bring it out, not to this woman. She didn't need to know about. . . those things.
"What's wrong, sweety?" The throaty rumbling purr filled Kat's ear with sudden concern.
Kat swallowed and looked up to meet her eyes. The formerly slitted appearance of the woman's eyes had turned wide and round, completely human. Kat sighed again as she knew the polymorph spell was beginning to fade. "T-. . . Thanks?"
"Oh no, sweety. . . Thank you." The woman pulled her tighter even as the fuzzy feeling began to fade into warm, soft flesh. Kat closed her eyes, resting her head on the woman's shoulder still a bit disconnected from what was going around her. The woman stroked her back gently. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Farthest from it. She was pretty sure she said it out loud.
They stood there in front of the mirror holding one another for a few minutes before the woman whispered. "Do you have my glasses?"
Without pulling back, Kat snapped her fingers producing the half moon spectacles between her delicate fingers in front of the redhead. She nuzzled into her hair with a long, sigh.
"I really wish I knew that spell. . ."
"It's not a spell." Kat whispered from some far away place in her mind. "My brother liked slight of hand."
The woman chuckled against her with a definite warmth. She could feel the stiffness in the woman's muscles, tension that somehow wasn't there before but it didn't seem to bother her, instead she brought her arm around Kat's back. "I probably don't want to know where you hid them, then, do I?"
Kat looked at her blankly and pulled back to kiss her tenderly. Her hands came down to the woman's hips and then up her back so she could hug her close. "I. . . s-. . . I need to get going soon."
"I know sweety."
"I. . . Don't want to."
"Yeah you do." The woman cupped her cheek gently, smiling a warm, motherly grin. "I can see it in your eyes. Well, no that's not right. I can barely see your eyes right now. Would you mind?"
"Oh! Uh. . . oops. Sorry." Kathrine felt her cheeks warm as she opened the glasses and set them gently on the woman's nose. She knelt a little bit so she could look up at her though Kat was just slightly taller than the woman now in her normal form. Her playful green eyes watched Kat with a soft re assuredness of someone many times her age and though she was- Kat guessed- completely human, she still had that kind of ethereal grace given to those of elven descent. Kat was kind of envious of her beauty but at the same time, maybe some things were just better left unknown. "Um. . ." She licked her lips. "I. . . uh. . ."
"Tammia Goodmanner." The woman didn't seem the least bit phased by the awkwardness that bristled over Kat's nerves.
Kat swallowed and nodded. "K. . . Kathrine. Kathrine Stoneriver."
She chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Pleasure to meet you, sweety. But hey, you should probably get going. It's nearly daybreak on the Prime."
"Huh? Oh crud." Kat looked back over her shoulder toward the dresser beside the bed. A golden sextant turned slowly on an intricate silver dias who's inlays had begun glowing a faint orange between last night and this morning. They were fading into a shade of red even as Kat drew in a breath the red became stronger. Just beyond the sextant a small hourglass trickled the last of its sand into the bottom. "Aww crap. I'm so gonna be late!"
In a flurry, she bounced back from the woman- from Tammia- giving her an apologetic smile before she dived for her back pack which had somehow made its way behind the couch by the door. Next to that her velveteen pants and light cotton shirt lay crumpled atop her wool coat. Without even thinking she dived over the back of the couch and grabbed up her shirt, slipping it over her head. She'd need a bath but that was something she could get when she arrived in Chult. She had her hot weather clothes packed already and plenty of water. Reagents were in her coat and-
And what was she forgetting?
She laid there over the back of the couch for a moment before becoming keenly aware of the cool breeze against her naked bottom. It couldn't have been that important, she decided and hauled her bag over the back. She turned around to see Tammia looking at her with a catty smile. Dressed in her red and black silk outfit that displayed her abundant cleavage behind a thin veil of lace with a matching tabard between her legs, she looked every part the bard Kat had thought her to be. "Huh?"
"Oh nothing, just admiring the view." She smiled.
Kat's cheeks warmed a bit more as she tugged her pants on in a hurry. "Um. . . I should be back a few weeks. . . W- Who knows, right?"
"If you say so, sweety." The woman went about primming her hair behind her ears with a faint sigh. "Have you got everything?"
"Yeah, I think so. . ." She stood up and grabbed her coat quickly pulling it over her self. As she did so the leather belt inside tightened over her hips and clipped together adding the reassuring weight of her brother's Tressym longsword to her left hip while she did a quick final pat down ensuring all the pockets inside her coat contained her reagents, just incase. "Yeah. That's everything." She turned to grab her pack and slipped it over her shoulder. "Um. . ."
"It's fine, Kathrine." The woman stepped up to her and hugged her unabashedly. "I had a really good time and I'm sure we'll do it again some day." She kissed her cheek and ruffled her hair.
Kat stood looking at the woman oddly, unsure how to respond. Finally she managed a lame half smile and kissed her deeply. Passion was never her strongest suit after Jezebel but she could still enjoy the sensation of being close. She wouldn't loose that too, she had decided. When she broke the kiss she smiled a little. "It was really nice to meet you."
"Have a safe trip, beautiful Chauntean."
She giggled. "Yeah, thanks." Despite the finality of the words it still gnawed at her that there should have been more attachment. She barely knew this woman and somehow in the span of a few hours she'd managed to make a friend and. . . a lover? Or was it really something so shallow that she couldn't even give it a name? They looked at one another, neither speaking. Deep in the woman's eyes a simple passivity watched Kathrine with a reassuring approval that said neither one of them was wrong and that in the end everything was okay. She sighed, not knowing what else to say. "I. . . should go."
Tammia leaned in and kissed her again, cupping her cheeks and holding her. Then just as abruptly she pulled back. "Yes you should before we repeat last night with you on the bed this time." She laughed a melodic tone and shooed her towards the door. "Git!"
Kat tugged her pack straps tight, shying away from the woman's tone ever so slightly even though she could feel the joking nature of it, something in her obeyed without question and she slipped out into the hallway. She glanced back, memorizing the woman's soft features and the smile that graced her supple lips. A beautiful sight to remember the evening. Kat decided and gave a little wave.
The hallway emptied out into an expansive main meeting room filled with a multitude of creatures from every corner of the multi-verse. An angel and a sphinx played chess at one table while a beam of light and some kind of bear like creature traded stories over a glass of Purewater. Adding to the surreal nature of the place a talking rug on the floor listed the house menu to a weary human traveler who, Kat was sure, had wandered in by accident judging from the stupified look on his face. The air smelled of warm sulfur and brimstone but Kat was sure none of the more infernal patrons lingered while the angel was here. At least she hoped not anyway.
Not that violence was an issue, powerful wards woven into the fabric of the false wooden walls didn't allow for deliberate bloodshed but the debates, sometimes lasting for months on the Prime Material plane could be heated enough to clear the entire place which usually resulted in the proprietor kicking the offending parties out. Kathine waved to the sphinx and angel in passing, trying to discern who he served but giving up after a second when she saw he was too invested in their game to look at her.
The open nature of the main room was further reinforced by the high ceiling that held a second level ringing the main dining and reception area. Draped over the banisters were various shimmering sashes displaying dogma of one deity or another along with corresponding offerings of paper sheets with prayers, dried goods or blood and other substances. Further out of view Kat was sure she could hear people moving and talking amongst themselves, casing strange shadows over the cone shaped chandeliers above.
She stopped just long enough to deposit her last twenty five coins in the drop box by the front door, murmuring "Chultan coinage please." After a couple of seconds the bottom of the box opened up releasing a small burlap sack that felt slightly lighter but contained the appropriate coinage for the region. She started counting it on the way out the door into another hallway flanked on either side by a slew of doors. Forty six coins in all. If she was lucky it'd be enough to buy her a meal and a safe place to sleep once she got to Port Nyranzaru. Once there it was just a matter of getting maps or perhaps a guide and setting out.
Kathrine stopped at a particular black door to her right about half way down the hall. A plaque beside it read in a multitude of languages 'Outgoing'. She opened the door into an empty little room about ten paces on a side with a rather unimpressive glowing portal in its center. Ringing the portal were faded diagrams and ashen circles burned into the floor by the portal's activation magic. The concept was fairly straight forward, even to a mundane mindset; one wrote the coordinates in sand around the portal, spoke the activation words and by entering it they'd wind up at their destination. She licked her lips and steeled herself.
Reaching into her pocket she withdrew a hand full of sand and began drawing the circle from memory, closing her eyes so as not to be confused by the burned in images on the stone floor. The trickle of sand through her gloved hands tickled a little making her think of Tammia's beautiful fur pattern like some distant unexplored dune swollen to hold a beautiful desert flower meant only for her. It was the dream, in many ways, that'd caused her to pursue this route. The dream of the jaguar woman in the mushroom forest that had stopped her from going forward without paying her toll. It was since that waking dream after Jezebel's execution that she'd been unable to let go of that image, to find anything but restlessness and though she tried to get it out of her head, two years had done nothing to quell the curiosity; who was this creature that could live in her dreams and why was she still there despite multiple attempts to work her out of her mind?
Was it a sign from Chauntea to spread Her teachings to the jungles of Chult? Kathrine could think of no other reason and though she was little more than a simple acolyte in the larger scale of things, she was still a wizard by training. Her logical mind had countless explanations but none of them came close to the gut feeling that told her she was being sent to bring this 'woman' under Chauntea's care and teaching.
Tabaxi. That was the name they used to describe themselves; the cat people of the jungle. The eerie obsession that burned at the back of Kat's mind since that dream. The one she couldn't let go of no matter how many times she tried. But that was soon at an end. Soon she'd understand what she was meant to do and soon. . . Perhaps soon, she'd find a poultice for Jezebel's loss.
Kathrine stood upright examining her circle carefully. Satisfied, she removed the gems she'd brought with her, fishing around in her palm for a honey colored one and holding it up to the light. She began murmuring the coordinates and at once the sand circle in front of her began glowing a soft straw color to match the gem. Planar coordinates were a tricky thing even if one knew where they were going it was easy to slip a movement of the tongue and wind up entire regions off direction or, if you were unlucky, in the entirely opposite plane you had intended. As she continued a faint nagging sensation tugged at her even while the honey'd glow of the gem faded into a soft pale blonde that nearly matched her hair. The circle at her feet began to glow brighter and soon the portal's own color began to change to match the luminance of the room. What was she forgetting?
Before she could articulate the final syllables something hard knocked into her backpack sending her forward into the portal. At the same time she heard the door opening and Tammia's voice: "Hey, you forgot your sextant-" But it was too late, Kathrine was tumbling forward toward the portal. Pinwheeling her arms she tried to throw the gem aside hoping she'd be able to get rid of it and the portal wouldn't active. It stayed firm in her hand. She screamed involuntarily.
In the next beat she was tumbling into a void cursing Beshaba.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL):
Applicants can claim academic credit for relevant previous study or learning experiences ("prior learning"). If you can demonstrate that you have already achieved learning which is equivalent to one or more modules, or to a whole year or level of study, relating to the course you wish to apply for at theĀUniversity of Worcester, then you may make a claim for recognition of that prior learning. This applies to both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
Claims are not automatic; they have to be assessed by the University. Claims should be agreed at the point of entry to a programme, and are normally discussed and assessed alongside the application process. If your claim is successful it means that you do not have to take the modules for which credit has been awarded, or you may be able to enter directly to a higher level of study or into the second or third year of a course.
There are three forms of recognition of prior learning:
- a) Credit transfer - recognition of credit or qualification at HE level (4 or above) awarded by a UK higher education degree-awarding body in accordance with the relevant higher education qualifications framework;
- b) Recognition of prior certificated learning - (such as professional development awards or employment-based awards) which is a higher education level but which has not led to the award of credits or qualifications positioned on the relevant higher education qualifications framework;
- c) Recognition of prior experiential or informal learning. Details of how to apply for RPL, and the relevant forms, can be found on the University of Worcester's applications web page.
Details of how to apply for RPL, and the relevant forms, can be found on the University of Worcester's applications web page.

November 23rd, 2009
Dr Petra
On 12 November 2009 the Policing and Crime (P&C) Bill went through Parliament. The hotly contested and controversial Clause 14 – originally proposed to prosecute anyone having sex with a prostitute who was 'controlled for gain' (a vague and unworkable term) – was changed so people will now only be prosecuted for paying "for sexual services of a prostitute subjected to force". This will now become law.
New legal changes will also be coming into effect soon. According to the English Collective of Prostitutes these include "a new definition of
"persistence" for loitering and soliciting which makes street workers more vulnerable to arrest; removing "persistence" from the kerb-crawling law so that guilt can be proved on the first offence; compulsory 'rehabilitation' orders, though the government has had to limit to 72 hours the time street workers can be detained before they are brought to court for breaching the order; more powers to close premises where they suspect that certain prostitution offences are being committed, including someone being 'controlled for gain'; more powers under the Proceeds of Crime Act to seize people's assets and property and profit from them".
These proposed legal changes have been subject to political debate for many years now, and the P&C Bill was noteworthy for the deliberate disregard by many politicians for independent evidence on prostitution. Many academics, sex workers and those campaigning for better health and social support for anyone involved in prostitution see the proposed changes as continuing to put prostitutes at risk, and will continue to challenge the current trend of policy making based on opinion rather than evidence.
Still on the topic of prostitution the unmasking of popular blogger Belle de Jour has been a media favourite over the past couple of weeks. In case you don't know the history Belle de Jour is a blog about a high class call girl that proved so successful it led to a book deal and spin off TV series. It also led to some frankly astonishingly bad sex features in women's magazines (where high class prostitution was mixed in with aspirational and commercial sex messages). And complaints from some quarters that the TV series in particular was glamourising prositution. All the while debates in mainstream media raged about whether Belle really was a prostitute, or whether she was a male journalist making up stories.
It turns out Belle is a scientist, Dr Brooke Magnanti. She was a sex worker for several months after submitting her PhD thesis (a time well known for being strapped for cash and in-between jobs). Having already been a science blogger, she then blogged about her sex work experiences. This would have remained secret but an ex boyfriend threatened to out Dr Magnanti who decided it was safer to tell her own story to the media.
This has led to a really odd mix of media coverage with journalists expressing surprise that a smart woman was also a prostitute, rehearsing sad stereotypes about prostitution, and in the name of 'balance' contrasting Belle as the happy hooker with dismal stories of drugs and disease. It's been open season to revive the 'glamourising prostitution' argument – although now with added bite as critics have a named person to go after, rather than an anonymous blogger.
Channel 4 news did host an interesting discussion on the topic (albeit with the standard hat tip to high class prostitution vs. murdered prostitutes – an unhelpful comparison which does nothing to respect the memories of those prostitutes who have been killed or injured).
This whole case raises a number of issues for academics and universities. We know from bitter experience that academics involved in prostitution (or who support sex workers) have faced discrimination at work. I've written a short piece for the Times Higher on this topic, feel free to join in the conversation about this issue that's running below this piece.
Many of those involved in the debates and campaigns around supporting sex workers identify as feminist. It was unfortunate, then, that a key component of Saturday's Reclaim the Night march focused on celebrating Clause 14 (see above). Given the fact that many sex workers had felt excluded by radical feminism in this debate – and many academics also felt the agendas and so-called 'research' of such groups was given greater weight by the government – it's a shame the divide was further emphasised on an event that should bring women together. Not least sex workers who are more likely to be at risk from sexual violence. Penny Red has a candid take on this story, while Sarah the bringer of tea explains why Trans women are also excluded by some feminists involved with Reclaim the Night. Distressingly it seems that a woman was attacked while on the demonstration (which is both ironic and depressing).
I've no quibble with the right to protest against sexual violence or for women's safety. My concern, however, with events like this is they don't present a safe space for all women and often have the effect of alienating the very women those organising such activities are claiming to protect.
The National Chlamydia Screening Programme has been reviewed by Dr Ruth Hussey for the Department of Health. You can read the five page summary here. This indicates there are concerns over whether the programme will be continued, too many (and as a consequence confusing) sexual health branding messages (via websites etc). The report also reveals problems with funding, agreement on which services are responsible for delivering testing, and PCTs that are not aware of/up to speed on evidence and so are promoting 'good ideas' rather than evaluated best practice. Well worth a read if you're a healthcare practitioner, health commissioner or anyone working in sex education.
Spot what's unethical about this research. A Leeds University professor asks four of their female students to hang out in nightclubs and observe whether women pull more men if they're wearing more revealing clothing.
Following on from recent research about the lack of evidence underpinning cosmetic genital surgery The Guardian has an interesting feature exploring issues about vulval 'enhancement'. While Vagina Dentata takes a more sex positive view with some handy hints for some vulva-related gifts. Just in time for your Christmas list.
Cory Silverberg has details of what promises to be a fantastic online course about Disability, Sexuality and Rights which could be very useful to those of you working in healthcare, education or social care.
If you're around tomorrow evening you may want to pop along to Westminster Skeptics in the Pub where a number of science bloggers will be debating What next for science activism in the new media?. Here's a summary of what will be discussed:
The rise of science blogging and the effective exploitation by activists, scientists, and science writers, of online communication has been a significant but fairly recent phenomenon. This meeting, which is an unofficial sequel to the Science OnLine conference in London earlier this year, will focus on the strengths and weaknesses of this phenomenon, both now and in the future. A stellar panel of Martin Robbins, Petra Boynton, and Hauke Riesch, as well as the writer of Gimpyblog and a writer from Evidence Matters, will set out their views on the current problems and challenges facing science bloggers, activists, and online communicators. They will reflect on what has so far been achieved and also offer thoughts and insights on what can – and cannot – be achieved next. This will then lead into a general discussion and Q&A session.
Hope to see you there!
Finally, you may have noticed I've organised the links on the blogroll over to your right. I've had a number of emails from people asking me to link to their blogs. Please do feel free to let me know of any blogs on sex education, activism or science/psychology/journalism you think I'd be interested in. I won't endorse blogs that are judgemental, sex negative, promote commercial or aspirational views of sex that are unrealistic, or endorse outdated or unhelpful ideas. But I am happy to link to blogs that are evidence based, represent critical thinking, and are accessible.Tweet

The Extraordinary Seaman (1969)
Seaman A Waste Of Talent
The Extraordinary Seaman directed by John Frankenheimer is puzzling in the sense that how could a film directed by Frankenheimer, which includes performances by David Niven, Faye Dunaway, Alan Alda, Mickey Rooney, and Jack Carter, and music by Maurice Jarre not be entertaining? After a string of successes from the beginning of his career in the 1950's with television drama through the 1960's with several film classics, Frankenheimer failed miserably with this film. Due to the short running time of 80 minutes compared to the usual much longer running times for his previous films, one wonders whether the film was taken out of Frankenheimer's hands at one point.
Niven is an old sea captain who has a secret, later discovered by the over-acting Alda, who nearly sleepwalks through his role. Dunaway starts out promising as a woman who can help a crew or hinder it, but shortly after boarding ship, Dunaway's role becomes forgettable. Alda overacts his way through the film progressively more as the film unfolds, and his forced romance with Dunaway makes her seem uncomfortable in the film. Rooney and Carter, who can both be very funny when given something to work with, are completely wasted with little or nothing to do.
The film purports to be an adventure/comedy but it's neither interesting nor funny, and the non-existent story just falls flat long before the revelation, which occurs an hour into the film. The denouement is a preposterous letdown. The most interesting parts of the film are the archival footage edited in to the film for what was probably intended to be comedic/ironic effect. However, the old clips took up almost a quarter of the film, which means there wasn't much to watch to begin with. A huge waste of talent considering those involved. 0 of ****.
À la conquête du pôle (1912)
One Of Melies' Last Good Films
Georges Melies' film The Conquest Of The Pole is similar to several of his earlier adventure films except this film is much longer than most. As a result, many viewers claim this film is not quite as good as the others due to the padding of some scenes, especially the flying to the North Pole sequence when the aircraft passes constellation after constellation. The aircraft, though crude and ridiculously unrealistic, is synonymous with the backdrop/sets and other effects in the film. Remember, The Wright Brothers had only paved the way for air travel a few years before. Once at the pole, terrific action sequences occur with an ice monster of some sort followed by a rescue. By now Melies had fallen behind the times with developing film techniques, such as crosscutting, meaning Melies' development as a filmmaker was related more to his being a magician and an effects wizard and not necessarily his being a storyteller. The only issue in the film is there are only five explorers visible at the pole when several more were selected to go to begin with. *** of 4 stars.
L'éclipse du soleil en pleine lune (1907)
Melies' Inventiveness Meets Salaciousness In Eclipse
By the time this film was released in 1907, Melies best days were behind him according to most film historians. However, this may be the only Georges Melies film requiring a PG-13 rating at least. The film is bookended with some comical sidelights about a stuffed shirt lecturer played by Melies who interacts (not always with aplomb) with a bunch of rowdy students who eventually do seem genuinely interested in viewing the subject matter at hand: an eclipse. Once again, the special effects of Melies are wonderful, first an eclipse in the form of human faces superimposed on images of the sun and moon, then some of the other heavenly bodies appear (literally!) like Venus, etc., followed by what appears to be a meteor shower. As some reviewers have noted, the eclipse scene is jaw-dropping for its time with its obvious eroticism, and unlike most of the rest of Georges Melies' films, you may want to remove children from the room when viewing this film. *** of 4 stars.
Le voyage dans la lune (1902)
One Of The Earliest Science Fiction Films
A trip To The Moon is one of the earliest examples of science fiction put on the screen. The film is based upon the Jules Verne novel From The Earth To The Moon. It also is one of the earliest films to capture a conflict between two different cultures of people in that the six astronomers sent to the moon end up battling the inhabitants of the moon for apparently no good reason aside from propelling the action of the film, and nothing propels the action better than conflict. The narrative is clear, and the backdrops/sets, cinematography, editing, and special effects are all top notch for their time. Georges Melies set the stage for many subsequent space travel films to come decades later. This one of Georges Melies' best known films. A must watch. *** of 4 stars.
Le compositeur toqué (1906)
A Composer's Dream
Georges Melies revisits one of his frequent motifs that of a character with an occupation who is frustrated possibly and then goes off into dreamland where things seem to be more exciting or to work themselves out. Here a composer finds himself possibly frustrated with a piece of music, conjures up the muses while asleep, and then is surrounded by various dance hall girls who at first are elegant and then grow more robust in the form of what appears to be can-can dancers near the end. The best trick shot does not appear until the very end. The film really offers nothing new for Georges Melies fans, but as with each Melies film, it's still very much viewable entertainment. ** of 4 stars.
Sorcellerie culinaire (1904)
Early Example Of Silent Slapstick
Georges Melies did a lot of "nonsense" films like this one entitled The Cook In Trouble. The scenario is similar to many of Melies' other films like this in that a central character or characters are pestered or obstructed by a less likable or unlikable character or characters, in this case a cook is trying to be particular about preparing a big meal when he is accosted by a wizard who conjures a few imps in order to pester the cook. The entire film plays out in subsequent silent slapstick fashion with the imps disappearing and then reappearing to continue to interfere with the cook's preparations. Once the imps are spied by the cook, they move, leap, and tumble about through the labyrinthine backdrop Melies has created to propel the action in a circular manner on the stage; where as, larger outdoor sets and/or rear screen projection would take over for such scenes in the future. **1/2 of 4 stars.
Le diable noir (1905)
Simple Melies Film, Yet Whimsical
Georges Melies filmed brief sketches many times like he did here with The Black Imp; it's simply an excuse for Melies to display his jump-cutting tricks, which are executed almost to perfection. For the time though, it must have been hilarious. Here a man tries to get some rest at an inn only to slowly discover his room is haunted by a mischievous imp. The imp wreaks havoc with the furniture, multiplying it at will so it appears the chairs are following the man like an invisible man, very clever indeed. The film makes it clear near the end the man has dreamed this whole thing up while receiving assistance from several individuals; meanwhile, the imp returns to take some rest in the man's bed. The whole thing is similar to many other Melies' films in that it's a metaphor for the creator (Melies) interacting with the audience, but it's still a delight. *** of 4 stars.
Le tonnerre de Jupiter (1903)
Passable Melies
In this brief film, Georges Melies depicts the Greek version of Jupiter: Zeus. There is no explanation for this shift in mythological focus, but the film is nothing more than an excuse for the Zeus character to fret and dance about while trying to figure out why his thunder balls do not work properly. In so doing, Zeus draws upon the muses to help him out it seems, but they do little aside from dancing about with him. The actual trick of the film is not featured until near the end, and it really is not much after all. This film is a one-note, one set film much like The Cake-Walk Infernal with the heavy use of smoke as a special effect. **1/2 of 4 stars.
Le cake-walk infernal (1903)
Lesser Melies Still Worth Viewing
This film, The Cake-Walk Infernal, is one of silent pioneer Georges Melies' most well known films. There isn't much of a story as much as a succession of images, which Melies energetically parades across the screen with his usual doses of interesting backdrops and costumed characters. At times, some of Melies' films can be overly stagy, and this is one such film. Some common motifs in Melies' films appear here as in characters or objects appearing, disappearing, and reappearing again, the use of smoke effects for transitions, the use of stop action motion, and Melies' appearance as a character with a devilish costume. **1/2 of 4 stars.
Le royaume des fées (1903)
Extraordinary Narrative For Its Time
Georges Melies puts together an amazing (for its time) narrative about a prince and princess kept apart by a scheming witch, and the prince is thrust into a journey to rescue the princess by traveling through and receiving assistance from Neptune, the god of the sea, and his cohorts. The entire film, at least the print I saw, is hand-painted, color-tinted, and it's simply amazing. The costumes, sets, backdrops, props, model work, and special effects are all superb not only for its time but for the entire silent era. The framing and composition of scenes is superior and the acting is more than acceptable, considering the exaggerated mannerisms which were already creeping into films at the time followed by more of an on-rush of them in the two decades to come. The color is reminiscent of illustrations in books, which appeared in the early decades of the twentieth century, and it adds greatly to the fantasy/mythological elements portrayed in the film.

It's a quiet and friendly suburb. 5 mins from Casuarina shopping centre, 10 mins from the Airport and 15 mins from the City. The house has new furnishings and an awesome pool (with an inflatable pineapple!). You'll have a choice of 1 of 2 rooms - both similar in size with built in wardrobes and with mirrored sliding doors. You can bring your own furniture OR purchase the furniture (queen size bed + small shelves) off our current housemate for $300 (negotiable). Aircon throughout the house in all rooms. You'll share a bathroom with a gigantic bath and a shower with awesome water pressure. Toilet is separate. You'll have access to the garage.

This elevated Mediterranean-style four-bedroom house is spacious and shady. The house comes with its own in-ground swimming pool, spa and large fenced-in yard. The lounge area is perfect for dining, watching movies and having friends over for dinner. The kitchen is fully-equipped and has tonnes of storage space. There are two bathrooms; one upstairs and one downstairs. There will be three rooms available. One large, one medium sized and a small room. The rooms will be upstairs and partly furnished with a built-in wardrobe. You will have access to all parts of the house and yard (except other bedrooms), WiFi and Netflix. The rent for the room depends on the size and ranges from $120 - $170. Located in a quiet street in Leanyer, you're only a five-minute drive to Hibiscus Shopping Centre, and a short drive to Casuarina Square and Leanyer Water Park. Both on and off-street parking is available.

Cablevision Systems has implemented Zodiac Interactive software that supports interactive applications in all of its deployed set-top boxes.
Zodiac's PowerUp platform is not middleware itself, but it's what Zodiac is describing as a middleware framework combined with a presentation engine. The idea is to create a common set of APIs that cable operators can use to deploy a range of user interfaces and advanced Internet-based services and applications across multiple devices.
Part of the value, then, is that it abstracts the middleware from lower-level functions and becomes the common element in the transition from current environments (specifically Cisco's set-top environment) to next-generation cable platforms such as EBIF and tru2way.
The specific interactive applications and services now supported in Cablevision's system include iO TV Shortcuts, search, EPG and dedicated iTV channels, Zodiac said. It could also support interactive ads, games, chat, Web browsing, classifieds, social media integration and t-commerce.
Zodiac said it is also working with Cablevision on the latter's remote-storage DVR. Furthermore, Cablevision is using Zodiac's recently announced PowerUp AMS to enable the ability to run Web and mobile applications with STBs.
Richard Neill, Cablevision's senior vice president of software technology, said: "Through Zodiac Interactive's PowerUp platform, we are able to design and build pioneering interactive applications for TV, as well as guarantee that our millions of subscribers have access to advanced next-generation applications, like mobile integration with home-based services. In addition, Zodiac's unique offering allows us to write once and deploy everywhere, which is crucial in today's hyper-competitive market."
Cablevision and Zodiac have been working together for at least a year, though neither commented on what specifically they were working on; Multichannel News reported they were collaborating on an EBIF agent, possibly in support of the Canoe initiative.
Earlier in 2009, Zodiac agreed to incorporate ActiveVideo's client software in its PowerUp platform, which would make it simpler for an operator to deploy cloud-based applications.

On a remote island in the Pacific, Corpus scientists have taken test tube embryos and given them life. These beings--the Vitros--have knowledge and abilities most humans can only dream of. But they also have one enormous flaw.
Sophie Crue is determined to get to Skin Island and find her mother, a scientist who left Sophie behind years ago. She enlists hunky charter pilot Jim Julien to take her there. But once on the island, Sophie and Jim encounter more than they bargained for, including a charming, brilliant Vitro named Nicholas and an innocent, newly awoken one named Lux.
In a race for their lives, Sophie and Jim are about to discover what happens when science stretches too far beyond its reach.

In her second novel, Khoury (Origin) introduces Sophie Crue, a 17-year-old with a mysterious past. Sophie's childhood was spent on Guam where her biologist parents worked at a high-security laboratory on nearby Skin Island. When Sophie was seven, her father abruptly took her to the United States, leaving their lab behind and divorcing Sophie's mother. Now, Sophie has received an email from her mother asking for her help in an unspecified emergency; without telling her father, she returns to her birthplace. There she discovers that no one on Guam will fly her to the forbidding island—no one except Jim Julien, her former childhood playmate, now grown to reckless adulthood. Sophie and Jim discover that Skin Island hides a dark experiment in genetics, one that some might kill to protect. Khoury's prose is crisp and her primary characters compelling. The scientific mystery, a variation on the one at the core of Origin, is fascinating and serves as a believable critique of the dangers of scientific research motivated by profit. Ages 12–up. Agent: Lucy Carson, the Friedrich Agency. (Jan.)

A dozen Korean ladies outfitted in pink aprons roll up their sleeves and sterilize their hands with cloths soaked in soju liquor. Then they spend 10 minutes hand-blending steamed sticky rice, yeast dissolved in water and azalea petals, before pouring the mixture into plastic containers. "Don't forget to put it in the cool shade and stir it every morning and night with a spoon for a week. Think of it as like growing a plant. Those of you who are successful will have your own makgeolli," said the instructor at the podium.
The group of women – the wives of Korean diplomats – were taking a three-hour lecture on traditional Korean rice wine at the Institute of Traditional Korean Food in downtown Seoul last Tuesday afternoon. What they were making was azalea sticky rice makgeolli.

VIDEO: LAST WEEK TONIGHT's John Oliver Covers Fireworks in Web Exclusive!
With HBO's LAST WEEK TONIGHT on hiatus, funnyman John Oliver takes to the internet to cover the most important story of the past week: Fireworks! Check out the web exclusive below!
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver is the only weekly news-oriented comedy series to be presented on Sunday night. Taped in New York a few hours before it debuts on HBO, each edition of the show features a mix of Oliver's topical commentary on the previous week's events, pre-taped pieces and an interview.
According to a recent GQ article, Oliver excels at making "blackhearted satirical cracks, whistling through the studio air like ninja stars," while TIME magazine has written that Oliver reports the news "with all of the bemused incredulousness it deserves." The Washington Post observed that "the Oliver twist on the news...could vault 'Last Week' to the top of the crowded ranks of TV shows making merry at the expense of the news and the news media."
An Emmy®- and Writers Guild Award-winning writer, John Oliver was previously a correspondent for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," joining the show in 2006. He first came to prominence as a cutting-edge political stand-up performer in the UK with a string of TV appearances and sold-out solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival. Oliver won the Breakout Award at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2007 and went on to write and star in the Comedy Central stand-up special "John Oliver: Terrifying Times," followed by the series "John Oliver's New York Stand Up Show," which he has hosted for four seasons. With longtime collaborator Andy Zaltzman, Oliver co-writes and co-presents the popular weekly satirical podcast The Bugle, which currently receives more than 500,000 downloads a month. He also has a recurring role on the comedy series "Community."

Today we want and need to inform you about an important decision. With immediate effect we will no longer provide Themes for Virtuemart & JoomShopping. The respective products and downloads have already been taken down from our website. Below we will answer some important questions on this topic.
Why won't there be Themes anymore?
The systems for which we provided those Themes, Joomla!, Virtuemart and JoomShopping, have been radically enhanced in the past few years. Unfortunately, this has caused our Themes to have more and more compatibility problems and other technical problems. Since an online shop has to work reliably though, we can't and mustn't expect our customers to put up with something else not working after each update.
Will I receive support & updates for an already purchased Theme?
Yes, you will. You will still receive support & updates for as long as we promised when you purchased your license. How long that is depends on the license you purchased.
My Theme license has expired. Can I renew it afterwards?
Unfortunately you can't. As described above, insoluble technical problems/challenges led us to our decision. Therefore you will need to brace yourself to not receiving any more updates & support for our Themes in the near future.
I have just purchased a Theme recently, what now?
We will try everything so that you won't have any disadvantages caused by the new situation and the associated decision of ours. That's why you will either get your money back or you will be able to join our "Joomla! Club" without additional costs and choose one of our Templates. This offer applies for all customers who have purchased a Theme from us in the last three months.
Is my online shop at risk now?
No, it isn't. The worst that can happen is that you have to use our shop system without one of our Themes again and that it will have a slightly different appearance because of that.
Are there similar changes scheduled for Virtuemart Templates?
No, there aren't. Our Templates for Joomla!, Virtuemart & JoomShopping will still be retained.
We ask you to excuse the new situation and any associated problems.
You can be sure that this wasn't an easy decision and that we wouldn't have decided that way if it hadn't been necessary from our point of view.
If you are affected by these changes and have further questions, don't hesitate to contact us via our contact form or our help forum.» Continue reading

ASP.NET Training
£895 + VAT for most venues (£995 + VAT for London)
Learn how to use ASP.NET web forms to develop websites linked to SQL Server or other databases on this three-day course (we also run a separate ASP.NET MVC course). Wise Owl don't just train in ASP.NET, we develop in it too, so we're in a unique position to explain exactly what you need to know!
The course starts with a brief overview of style sheets and HTML, explains why master pages are essential (and themes and skins aren't), then goes on to look at maintaining state. Most of the rest of the course is then taken up with various ways to link to data, especially using gridviews. The course uses VB as the underlying programming language, although we also run ASP.NET courses using C#.
