Queen's Birthday Honour for Minimus!
On Nov.10th I will be going to Windsor Castle to receive an MBE .( Member of the Order of the British Empire). This honour has been awarded to me in the recent Queen's Birthday honours list . The citation reads " for services to local and National education. "
I am so delighted and deeply honoured. My family will join me and we are looking forward to another Minimus celebration! I am especially pleased that Classics will be brought into the public eye on this occasion.

Our Lady of the Rosary School, Bristol
I visited a Catholic Primary school -Our Lady of the Rosary School, Lawrence Weston, Bristol. I enjoyed working with a class of yr 5 and 6 children who study Minimus on the timetable each week. We discussed Vindolanda, did word derivations and I gave them a preview of Minimus Secundus. As I stepped into the school I was greeted by two pupils who said " salve, magistra! expectatissima es ! Hello, teacher; you are very welcome! " They also presented me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
I then took a year 4 class and we had a lesson on Roman and Celts. Finally I watched a splendid performance of " Palla Rubra" ( Little Red riding-Hood, in Latin, which the Latinists put on in front of the whole school. They spoke the Latin beautifully, trained by their teacher, Mrs. O'Neill, and had done a great job with the set and costumes.

Visit to Northwood Prep
In May I spent a most enjoyable day at Northwood Prep. school in north London. I spoke to the whole school about the writing of Minimus and the work of the Primary Latin Project. I then taught 2 Year 4 classes who are studying Minimus. It was great to see the boys' enthusiasm for Latin ;they assured me that " Latin is cool! " My thanks to the Head of Classics, Richard Waddington, for inviting me.

Barbara and Boris
Some encouraging words from Mayor of London Boris Johnson
"For many years, the Minimus Latin Project has been a beacon of educational innovation and excellence, helping to make classical culture, history and language accessible to a new generation of children from all backgrounds. The classics should be for everyone and I would like to see more London schools offering young people the chance to learn and enjoy this subject. There is clear interest in the subject and the Primary Latin Project is to be congratulated on reaching the milestone of 100,000 copies sold."

Minimus celebrates 100,000 copies
We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Vindolanda, home of Minimus, celebrating sales of 100,000 copies of the first Minimus book. The mouse was published in 1999 so at the end of august he will also be 10 years old-so 2009 is a very special year.
The Primary Latin Project Committee always meets in April so we began the weekend with our committee meeting. Then we met children from a Newcastle Primary school who are taught by our Chairman, Jeremy Paterson in a Minimus club. They and their parents joined us on site for photographs ;they had each made a poster celebrating 100,000 copies! We toured the site together in glorious sunshine and also enjoyed the splendid Chesterholme museum.We watched the new DVD which shows archaeologists finding writing tablets and then the careful process of cleaning them in order to read the Latin.
In the evening we were joined by other supporters of Minimus for a celebration dinner at our hotel in Hexham.It was such fun to be together and to reminisce about how the Project has grown over ten years from very small beginnings.
On Sunday we had a fabulous walk on Hadrian's' Wall, from Steel Rigg to Housesteads and then toured Housesteads fort. The committee began to disperse in the afternoon. I will never forget this marvellous event; I was especially glad that my family could also be with me.
23rd April 2009
Meeting Caroline Lawrence
It was a great thrill to meet Caroline Lawrence, author of the Roman Mysteries series, at the British Museum in April. We had a delicious lunch to celebrate sales of 100,000 copies of Minimus! We discovered many links between us: our work is about introducing Latin and the Roman world to young children and we both have a passion for Italy and all things Italian, especially Sorrento!
I am delighted to report that Caroline has agreed to join the committee of the Primary Latin Project; now we will work together even more closely.
Find out more about Caroline and her books
February 2009
It was a great pleasure to visit my former pupil, Ben May, who is now Head of Latin at the Unicorn Prep. school in Kew. I spent a happy morning doing Minimus drama with his pupils in Years 5 and 6, as part of their Creative Arts week.
January 2009
In January, despite deep snow, I had a most enjoyable day at St. James' Church of England Primary school in Stourbridge, at the invitation of Linda Perkins. It was excellent to meet her Minimus club, to chat to them over lunch and to see their preparations for this year's mythology competition. I was so impressed with their IT skills- they have made a film of their Latin play. I then visited senior classes to talk about the advantages of learning Latin. I hope this will help with recruitment for next year's Latin club!

MORE MiniBooks
Last summer I spent a few days in Bury St Edmunds with Helen Forte, writing the second set of MiniBooks. They are now finished, checked, illustrated and printed - and available to buy! We are very pleased with them, and hope they will be as popular as the first set.
1st June 2008
MiniDorm 2008
This year's MiniDorm is cancelled. We hope to see another in the future. Meanwhile, disappointed Minimus fans can look forward to the second set of MiniBooks...

The Mouse in the Museum
It was splendid to see 300 pupils, plus teachers and parents, at our special day at the British Museum last month. For many pupils this was their first visit to this wonderful museum and I saw several jaw-dropping moments when they saw the Great Court and they marvelled at the sheer size of the museum. I also enjoyed speaking to many of them when seeing the Vindolanda Tablets for the first time, and I am sure my own pupils at Clifton High in Bristol echo the feelings of all of them; they were amazed at how tiny these scraps of wood are.
Pam Macklin had organised the day and it ran "like clockwork" as one delegate reported. Pupils were delighted to meet Helen Forte, the illustrator of both Minimus books and some had a sneak preview of the forthcoming second set of MiniBooks! Legio Secunda did a great job with their presentation of the Roman Army and Medicine and our chairman, Jeremy Paterson, spoke to each group about the people of Vindolanda and the significance of their names. Business on the Minimus Et Cetera stall was brisk throughout the day and pupils seemed to go home tired but happy clutching their purchases.
I am indebted to the staff from the British Museum who helped things to run smoothly and to the marvellous team of helpers.
Thank you to those who have sent feedback on the day which will help us to plan and improve the next one. We are considering similar Minimus days around the country at key Roman sites so please let me know how you feel about this.

Minidorm 2008
Sign up now for this year's MiniDorm! Held over the weekend of July 12th and 13th at Bilton Grange prep school near Rugby, it promises to be a lot of fun for children aged between 9 and 12.

March - It was a great pleasure to judge the Minimus class of the Southampton reading competition, held at St. Swithun's School. 4 schools competed and performed 3 different plays -
Iudiium Paridis, Dolium Pandorae and Androcles et leo.
The pupils entered into it with enthusiasm! They all dressed up and busy Mums and Teachers had created marvellous costumes and props. It was excellent to see so many children bravely performing in Latin, in a huge hall, in front of parents, teachers and of course each other. The Southampton branch awards medals- bronze, silver and gold- and clearly these are something to be treasured.
Congratulations to all the performers.
The event is sponsored annually by the Classical Association. Why not run one in your area? For information and advice, please get in touch with Mrs Diana Sparkes

Sat. Feb.2nd Dublin training day
It was lovely to return to Alexandra College, where the Classics department had organised a training day for anyone interested in Minimus and possibly using it in the future. 22 delegates attended, including staff from the school, from many different subject disciplines, local Classicists and 2 lawyers interested in Latin!
The day followed a similar pattern to the Minimus days run in England; I gave a general introduction to the activities of the Primary Latin Project, an overview of the content of Minimus and Minimus Secundus and talked about special events coming up and the support that PLP can give to Minimus teachers. One additional extra was a demonstration first Minimus lesson that I taught to 5 of the adults who knew no Latin themselves! They gallantly agreed to be my class and we had excellent fun.
The Dublin group is keen to take Minimus forward and I hope it will be possible to address a group of Principals or Curriculum planners from local Primary schools at some point. Meanwhile, armed with our new publicity leaflet, several of the delegates have already started having those all-important one-to-one conversations with those who they think should know about Minimus. It is thus that the Minimus gospel is spread.
vobis gratias ago!
Also in February, I very much enjoyed visiting Fairfield School in Backwell, near Bristol, to meet the Year 6 children who are using Minimus. It is always good to answer their questions about the background to the Minimus story and to share with them my love of Latin and especially the extraordinary site of Vindolanda. The children also read to me in Latin, translated a story and acted it.
I am always pleased to be able to do such visits; please get in touch if you would like to arrange one to your school ( normally on Mondays and Thursdays )
16th January 2008
The Mouse in the Museum - Please book soon !
I am looking forward to meeting many teachers and students of Minimus at our special day in the British Museum on Sat. April 26th. Places are filling up fast so do book soon. The deadline for bookings to be in is Jan.31st.
6th January 2008
In December, I spent three days in Stuttgart, taking part in a conference on the teaching of ancient languages. The delegates were from universities, secondary and primary schools. There was plenty of interest in 'Minimus', and several people asked me when the German edition will be available. A representative from Klett was present and he expressed great interest in Minimus. Many more German teachers have joined our mailing list and I was pleased to have the opportunity to work with them. See photos here.
In November, I visited Richard Pate School in Cheltenham. I very much enjoyed meeting pupils in Year 5, who had just done a few weeks of 'Minimus'. I taught them 'Old Macdonald' in Latin (available as one of our support sheets) and we had a lot of fun performing it.
I then worked with Year 6 on 'Arca Pandorae', a play written by Anne Chapman at Downside, which is also available as a support sheet. I was very impressed by the speed with which they understood the Latin. It is quite a demanding play but they mastered it superbly well. It is always a very great pleasure to meet pupils who are so clearly enjoying 'Minimus' and gaining so much from it. See photos here.

Dublin Trip
In mid November I enjoyed a marvellous visit to Dublin. I was invited by Joan Wright, a Classics teacher at Alexandra College in Dublin, an Independent Girl's School, which is one of four remaining schools in the country which teaches Classical Greek. I was asked to deliver a public lecture about Minimus; this was one of a series of annual lectures in memory of a former Headmistress of the school who was a Classicist. The lecture was well attended and seemed to go well and it produced a very pleasing response. Some of those present want to get involved in the Granny Latin Scheme. Others are keen that there should be a training event in Dublin and I will be returning to run such a day on Saturday, 2nd February 2008 at Alexandra College. If this is something that you think you might like to get involved in please do join us on the 2nd February. If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to email me on firstname.lastname@example.com

Boris Johnson, MP
In recent months it has been excellent to have the support of Boris
On 1st November I was again honoured to meet Boris Johnson at the House of
We have invited Boris to join us at our special Minimus Day at the British
I am also hoping to persuade him to visit my own school, Clifton High School
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him; I was amazed by the business of his day
11th November 2007
Visit to Kings College London
In early October, I was delighted to address students at Kings College London who are training to be Classics teachers. We looked at the content of Minimus and the different ways that it is being used throughout the world; I outlined the support that the Primary Latin Project can give to Minimus teachers and then we shared ideas for a first Minimus lesson. The students are eager and enthusiastic and I feel very sure that the future of Classics teaching in this country is in good hands.
Visit to the Oxford Outreach Centre
Later that week, I had a splendid visit and was delighted to meet Lizzie Belcher from Oxford University who is in charge of outreach work in schools. Lizzie and I are hoping to run an event for schools based on Vindolanda later in the year. Meanwhile, I will be running a Minimus training event in Oxford on Thursday January 17th for graduates and teachers.
London Training Day - November 3rd 2007
We had a great day at James Allen's Girls School in Dulwich, London. 15 delegates attended and with the help of my speakers - Oliver Makower and Diana Sparkes (state schools) and Michelle Anderson (Independent school) - we discussed setting up Minimus clubs, using Minimus on the timetable, the content of both Minimus books and the support that the Primary Latin Project can give to teachers. Diana also had us all taking parts and reading 3 short Latin plays out loud! I always enjoy these training days and learn a lot myself. See details of 3 more training days this year.....

Mouseholes Conference
Yesterday I attended a meeting in London of the Minimus " Mouseholes"-the local representatives who help other teachers of Minimus and who are helping to spread the word. It was a most interesting day, hearing what each person is doing in her area. The day ended with Jeremy Paterson, our chairman, taking us over to the British Museum to see the Vindolanda writing tablets. They are now open again and it was a lovely end to the day.
Thanks to all our representatives who are doing so much to promote Latin through Minimus. Perhaps you might consider doing this work in your area? Please get in touch for details.
|23rd September 2007
Publicity Leaflets
Leaflets -Our new Minimus publicity leaflet has just been printed. It has all the key information about the various Minimus publications and explains what Minimus is and how it fits in the classroom. It also has some important quotations from those using it.
We have had 50,000 printed and we would value your help in distributing them. If you could give them out at special events, or in your local area, please contact me and I will post some to you. I hope you like it and thank-you in advance for your help.

The Mouse goes to Germany
We have a number of people on the Minimus mailing list from Germany. In 2004 we enjoyed meeting German teachers and visiting a school near Munster where I taught a Minimus taster lesson. Now I will be returning to Germany again; in December I will be doing a presentation at a conference on Ancient Languages in Stuttgart
13th September 2007
Minimus in Ireland
In recent years I have very much enjoyed meeting teachers in Ireland who are interested in Minimus. In 2003 I spoke at the Classical Association meeting in Cork and in October 2006 I enjoyed being part of a Curriculum conference in Dublin.
This August Nick and I received typical warm Irish hospitality when we attended the Classical association of Ireland's annual conference in Limerick. The theme of the event was
'The Weather ". My presentation was " Latin-Whatever the Weather". I tried to argue that Latin can and should be taught to all students -whatever their age and ability, and throughout the world.
I have been invited back to Dublin, this time to give a public lecture on Thurs. Nov.15th.The following morning I will be giving a taster lesson Minimus lesson in a school.
Thank-you for all the interest in Minimus in Ireland!

More Minibooks
In August I met Helen Forte and spent 3 days working with her on the second set of Minibooks. The stories involve all the family from "Minimus " plus several of the new characters from "Minimus Secundus." Helen will now be very busy adding the illustrations.
With any luck we just might get these stories published by Christmas. Watch the website for a publication date!
We hope you like them - do let us know!
|11 August 2007
In July I had a fantastic time at our 2nd Minidorm, held at Bilton Grange Prep. school. Tim Wheeler, Head of Classics at Bilton Grange, organised a wonderful weekend for the 34 pupils who attended. They made mosaics and Roman helmets, did some language work and played on the Minimus website with Helen Forte; everyone performed plays in Latin and learnt some soldiers' commands and the Greek alphabet. On the Saturday evening we had a Roman banquet, with genuine Roman recipes. Everyone dressed up in Roman costume -see the photos to see how splendid everyone looked!
Tim will be organising another Minidorm in 2008 , from July 12-13th. Make a note of the date and try to join us for a weekend of Minimus fun!

Shares of auto parts retailers took deep dives on Wednesday after O'Reilly Automotive Inc.'s sales warning and Volvo's plan to phase out conventional combustion engines cast a pall over the sector.
O'Reilly's stock ORLY, +0.19% plunged $41.64, or 18.9%, to suffer the biggest one-day price and percentage decline since it went public in April 1993. Volume ballooned to 12.8 million shares in recent trade, which was nine times the full-day average.
The company said early Wednesday that second-quarter same-store sales rose 1.7% from a year, well short of its guidance of 3% to 5% growth. O'Reilly said the disappointing sales results, in the wake of a slowdown during the final two months of the quarter, will have a "consequent impact" on profitability.
Separately, Chinese-owned Volvo said earlier that within two years all of the autos it produces will be either fully electric or a hybrid, as it begins abandoning combustion-engine technology. That has negative implications for auto parts sellers, as maintenance costs are very low, given they only have about 20 moving parts compared with over 2,000 for internal combustion engine cars, according to analysts at Desjardins Capital.
Don't miss: Volvo to phase out gas-only cars within 2 years.
"Overall, the two announcements provide a negative read-through for automotive aftermarket stocks, which are down materially today," Desjardins analyst Benoit Poirier wrote in a note to clients. "The announcements could also put further pressure on valuation multiples."
Among O'Reilly's peers, Advance Auto Parts Inc.'s stock AAP, -1.07% tumbled 11.2% to the lowest close since December 2013, and AutoZone Inc. shares AZO, +1.68% plummeted 9.6% toward the lowest level since October 2014.
O'Reilly, Advanced Auto and AutoZone shares were the S&P 500 index's SPX, +0.14% three worst performers on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, shares of Genuine Parts Co. GPC, +0.36% shed 4.8%, LKQ Corp. LKQ, +0.23% slumped 2.6% and U.S. Auto Parts Network Inc. PRTS, +0.02% slid 5.1%.
The announcements also come as electric-car maker Tesla Inc. begins deliveries of its Model 3 vehicles later this month, which will be priced for mass-market consumption, and after U.S. auto makers reported steep monthly declines in vehicle sales in June.
"Bottom line, electrification could have potential negative implications for the automotive aftermarket industry," Poirier wrote.

You may have tried more than one approach to teeth whitening like myself and discovered that these methods either cause tooth & gum sensitivity, don't work that well, or are a little on the expensive side. The kits that I have found to work, are usually complicated or require quite a few steps in order to achieve any sort of whitening- most of these systems normally take much more than one application as well in order to really show their effects :0
I'm been on the hunt lately for a whitening product that would suit my needs of saving time and money, without losing its effectiveness. Crest has come out with a good solution that I had the opportunity to give a try recently and I though I'd share my results with all of you and give you the real low-down...
Crest 3D White Brilliance
Daily Cleansing & Whitening System
What is absolutely brilliant about this product from Cest, is that not only is if affordable but it's a snap to complete with a simple 2-step system! I love that for just around $13, you can inexpensively and easily whiten your teeth at-home.
This really isn't an instant process however, I will admit- but that's mostly due in part to it's gentle formula that doesn't cause the normal teeth irritation that teeth whitening products often do. If you are okay with using it on a daily basis though, you will see a significant whitening effect by the end of the first week.
With continued usage, the whitening factor will be increased and really starts to show fairly noticeable results. If your looking for a teeth whitening kit from a trusted brand that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, plus it won't cause tooth and gum irritation- Crest 2D White Brilliance Whitening System is the way to go ;) It's done an excellent job for removing years of coffee and other stains from my teeth thus far!

Trinidad James Announces New Mixtape "10 Piece Mild" [Update: Cover Art Revealed]
Trinidad James announces a new mixtape is on the way, "10 Piece Mild." Trinidad James' debut mixtape Don't Be S.A.F.E produced the Atlanta rapper's huge break-out single "All Gold Everything," which led to a record deal with Def Jam. Now that Trinidad James has major label backing, he's coming through with a new mixtape effort, called 10 Piece Mild. The rapper announced the news while talking to MissInfo for Hot 97. During their interview he also revealed some of the producers and features he's rounded up for 10 Piece Mild. "I got a new project ready to come out, it's called 10 Piece Mild, which is my favorite thing to order in Atlanta from the wing spot called American Deli," Trinidad reveals. Trinidad says the project will include 10 tracks, with production from Travi$ Scott, Childish Major, and Young Chop. "To me it's different 'cause the beat selection is better. I got some Chop on there, I got my engineer Jay Patron on there...Travi$ Scott, Childish Major," Trinidad said on whether or not it's different from his debut. Quickly after Trinidad's interview with MissInfo surfaced, he took to Twitter/Tumblr to unveil the cover art for the upcoming tape. Trinidad also tweeted the project will drop on August 13th.

Aarnivak is a vast ruin, the boundaries of which are difficult to discern due to the thick growth of the Poinvek forest. Records and accounts describe a first age city, rendered uninhabitable by terrible destructive forces. Many of the structures that remain were shattered and warped and become home to a variety of dangerous wildlife. During its destruction much of the city was subsumed by a great upheaval of land creating an cave system composed of natural fissures and sunken structures. There is also the fragmented remain of an elevated road system connecting some parts of the ruin.
Aarnivak is located five days travel north of Allfrerhem. Travelers must first pass through the Stakkyr logging camp and cross the Renbar river. From there they take a narrow logging road deep into the Poinvek forest which leads to an ancient relic road partially maintained by the foresters.

BREAKING: Christmas Eve Surprise: Rauner Administration Withholds OT Policy from Public to Avoid Scrutiny as Effort to Cut Care Continues;
Controversial Move Rammed through Administrative Process Without Stakeholders

(Chicago) Following is a joint statement from Access Living and SEIU Healthcare Illinois in response to the breaking news that the Department of Human Services submitted to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules ("JCAR") its controversial new policy to cut home healthcare for people with disabilities before the close of business ahead of the Christmas holiday in a move that excluded stakeholders:
"After an entire year of chaos in the system of care for people with disabilities, the Rauner administration continues a game of brinksmanship that is bringing real harm to people with disabilities and the people who support their independence.
"The confusion has been coupled by threats of lawsuits, unfair labor practice charges and an outcry throughout Illinois from the very people who rely on the Home Service Program to remain in their homes and communities with dignity.
"Let's remember how we got here: The federal decision to enforce overtime for home healthcare workers, the culmination of years of struggle for a workforce comprising many women and people of color, was never meant as an excuse to achieve "savings." But in the process, the Rauner administration created a punitive, confusing and unevenly-applied system that has caused undue pain to thousands of people with disabilities and personal assistants who work with people with disabilities in the Home Services Program.
"The new rules the Rauner administration put forward the last day of business before the Christmas holiday have not been shared with stakeholders, nor have they provided ample time for members of JCAR to review and evaluate them. With only four business days left ahead of the Tuesday, January 10 JCAR meeting where the issue appears on the agenda, the revised rules have yet to be shared with the public and do not fully reflect the concerns and input of stakeholders.
"From what little we know that publicly was shared by the administration, it appears that the DHS is prepared to continue its harmful path of disruption and exclusion, continuing the erosion of the principle of consumer control that is the bedrock foundation of the Home Services Program.
"We call on JCAR to delay the vote on this policy until stakeholders have access to the rules as submitted, and we call on the Rauner administration to suspend implementation of these rules and to come to the table with stakeholders, including consumers, providers and advocates, to find a commonsense solution to what is a dismally manufactured crisis."

I was planning to blog about Barry Hannah, one of the great short story masters, but came across this book trailer instead. Why is the trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter so incredible? Could it be the black-and-white footage with spot color of red? The bad acting, the straight-faced voiceover, the over-the-top facial expressions?
The author, Seth Grahame-Smith, also wrote Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. A surprisingly entertaining premise combining stuffy literariness with oddball humor. Makes me want to revisit the civil war, and witness ol' Abe in vampire slaying action.

Cut out the orbits of your feelings,
You won't need them anymore.
The visions you've had were nothing
But childish imagination;
This kind of naivety isn't accepted
In our society.
Your skin is too effeminate
For the reality hits.
Everybody's hurt,
Hiding from the rain
With artificial grins.
How does it feel now?
Do you think you've been through much?
Calm down the excitement.
The worst is about to come.

How to create Windows Vista Recovery Disk
Before creating disk consider this points.Consider creating a partition on your hard drive specifically for Windows Vista recovery.Always download the latest drivers for your hardware and software prior to creating a recovery diskKeep Windows Vista installation disk with you.Step OneStart Windows Vista and log on to the administrator account. This will make it easier to get access to all of your most important files.Step TwoPlace a blank CD-R or DVD-R into the appropriate optical drive. There is no need to format this disk.Step ThreeConsider creating a folder on your desktop in which to place all of your most important files. This will make it easier to create a simple recovery disk later.Step FourCopy important files from their current locations to either the temporary folder you created, or simply right-click on them and select the "Send to" option followed by the drive letter of the optical drive. This will automatically spool the file to be prepped for writing to the disk.Step FiveBurn all of the files you wish to keep for later recovery to the optical drive. This will not only allow you to install the files to the drive when you need to perform a system recovery, but it will also permit you to avoid formatting the hard drive.Before doing this you should have basic windows vista technical knowledgeSource:- http://vista-basic.blogspot.com/

But I decided that was a bit boring, and played around with finding your way around impossible spaces. Someone mentioned GPS and I found my image.
Originally I was going to have someone holding a faulty map trying to get somewhere but I prefer the lack of negotiation you can get with a machine. A map will never tell you where to go, it just shows you the roads and lets you mess up by yourself. GPS, google maps and my friend hannah are didactic minions of hell! (I'm joking I love you google maps! ... oh and you too Hannah)
Machines will not take no for an answer, or 'wait I think there has been construction since you last updated because there is a park in the way of this road...how do I get to the place I want to go now?'
It is either "TURN LEFT AND WALK 50 FEET UNTIL REACH DESTINATION" or you turn the thing off.
So there is my impossible: impossible instructions.
I also added a 'start' similar to those you get in little puzzles, just to emphasize the drawing style of the buildings and the maze like quality of the city.
(and record time! 4 hours!)

All this wild weather may have left you a bit worried about the trees around your home.
Luckily there's a local who can put your mind at ease. Clive Woodnutt is a qualified arborist from Bohmer's Tree Care.
While Clive is perfectly named for the job, 'Bohmers' is actually German for 'man of the tree'. He's also known as 'the tree whisperer'!
Clive actually wanted to be an architect but hated being stuck inside, so when his mother married Peter, an English tree surgeon who spent all day outside in the garden, Clive did a day's work experience and decided that was the job for him!
40 years later and Clive still loves his job. On any day you could find him 20 meters up a tree, doing everything in his power to retain it.
Clive says the tallest tree he's climbed in the Illawarra is 45 meters, which was at the base of the escarpment in Bellambi. "We get within a meter of the top," he says. "Unless you get up and have a good look you have no idea of the problems the tree really has."
Thanks to the power of GoPros, Clive captures his view from the top and shares his 'eagle-eye' tree surgeon diagnosis on video!
You can watch Clive work HERE
"Most people don't realise they need an arborist until something catastrophic happens," he says. "We are actually all about prevention."
Clive says it's a dangerous job but they do everything by the book. "We always have two climbers on hand, as per the legislation. I don't take risks. That way, nobody gets hurt and everyone stays fully insured!"
With a fully trained and qualified crew of five, Bohmers carries out risk assessments at local public schools, safety checks for trees hanging over homes and trees in local back yards.
Clive says if you have a tree looking a bit dodgy, or is close to your house, he'll have a look at it.
"We give you a management and maintenance program," he says. "It's a lot less expensive than removing the tree, and obviously a lot better than having it fall down!"
Plus, a well-cared-for garden can increase the value of your home by tens of thousands of dollars.
But Clive says he won't be 'lopping' your trees any time soon! "It's a forbidden practice," he says. "Unless it's under power lines, it's prohibited by legislation.
"If we 'lop' a tree, it will grow back to the same height but have no vascular connection, so the regrowth will eventually fail.
"We remove or reduce branches, and may thin a tree by removing a percentage of the crown mass, but will will never take the top off.
"Basically, when a tree is hit with high winds, it filters the force so it can stay standing up. Lopping upsets that process, upsets the balance and makes the tree dangerous."
Clive says it's a worst-case scenario when they have to remove a tree.
"We do everything we can to save trees," he says, " but if it's reached the end of its life or the owners have a DA to remove the tree, we have to take it out. We recycle as much as we can of the tree. We return the mulch to the area the tree has come from, then where we can we use the wood for outdoor furniture.
"Our larger logs are turned into the benches or seats, or garden 'jump stumps', and we donate them to local schools, community garden projects and to the fantastic blokes at Corrimal Men's Shed, who epicycle them into amazing pieces. We love that it extends the life of the tree. "

I love books. The older I get, the less time I seem have to actually read them. However, that doesn't keep the collecting bug from biting hard, most weekends.
When I lived in Texas there was this great used bookstore chain called Half Priced Books. With stores across the country, it was just a matter of time for me to find Target paperbacks of old Doctor Who stories. I would play a waiting game, a few would show up on the shelves of one of the four locations I regularly scouted around the DFW area.
Paying around $3-4 a book, I was cheaper than what was online. Plus, it fulfilled another need: the hunt. When I first began collecting comics, on a larger scale than just my few Spider-Man and X-Men books, I lost my mind with hunting for specific stories, online. However, my friend Aaron Meyers talked me off a financial ledge by putting things in perspective. He told me, buying books should be about the journey, finding them in person, hunting them down and getting a deal. Basically he was telling me to make it an experience.
I applied those same principles to looking for Doctor Who books as well.
Leaving Texas had me return to online book hunting. The nearest Half Price Books is 322 miles away. While I don't mind preordering the newest books online, it still bothers me to get used books there. The few I did get this last month were still newer books, from the Eleventh and Tenth eras. While nice to have, it didn't have the same emotional magic as physically finding them.
There are great used bookstores in North Carolina, even more than in Texas. The problem is that none of them have Doctor Who books. Well, none that I could find, until today. We went to three used bookstores. At the last store, one we had been to just a short time ago, I found this hardcover copy of The Adventures of Doctor Who. It combines three of the novelizations into one book: "Doctor Who and the Genesis of the Daleks," "Doctor Who and the Revenge of the Cybermen," and "Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster." I probably over paid, at $20. However, the excitement of getting to find it, in person, was wonderful. It's an odd feeling, being surrounded by more used bookstores than I ever have in my life, yet finding little to no Doctor Who books. Hopefully it makes every book that I do find that much more worth the hunt.

|Background Info
|An honored guest of the Ryudo family, permitted to live at their temple until the preparations for her marriage have been finalized. A gorgeous and talented yet mysterious woman of high stature, her presence has attracted the attention of many trainee monks.
In her lifetime, Caster is better known as Medea, an archetype for witches from Greek mythology. She is a princess, the daughter King Aeëtes of Colchis and a niece of Circe, both of whom were distinguished spellcasters. Under the tutelage of her father, Medea herself becomes a skilled sorceress, living a quiet, peaceful life until the arrival of Jason and the Argonauts. Jason, the legitimate heir to the throne of Iolcos in Thessaly, sails to Colchis on a quest for the Golden Fleece. His uncle, King Pelias, imprisons Jason's father and assumes the crown. Fearful of being deposed, Pelias consults an Oracle who tells him to shun any approaching man wearing one sandal. Fatefully, this man would be Jason, who loses a sandal escorting a disguised Hera across the Anauros river. To avoid a disgraceful murder, and upon Jason's suggestion, Pelias requests Jason obtain the Golden Fleece, which he considers to be a suicidal mission.
Upon his arrival in Colchis, Jason reaches an agreement with King Aeëtes, whereby he can take the Golden Fleece if he proves capable of accomplishing three impossible tasks. As a favor to Hera, Aphrodite orders her son Eros to beguile Medea into falling madly in love with Jason. With her aid, Jason is able to acquire the Golden Fleece, forcing the Argonauts to flee Colchis. Aeëtes, not expecting Jason to actually win the prize, values the skin enough to give chase. As a distraction, Medea kills her brother, Apsyrtus, and scatters his diced flesh into the ocean brine. Aeëtes, horrified at the murder, delays his vessel to retrieve the pieces of his son. Fatigued from the taxing voyage, the Argonauts seek temporary asylum in Crete, but they are waylaid by Talos, a giant bronze automaton originally gifted to Europa, by Zeus. As sentinel of the isle, Talos heaves large boulders at the Argo, tossing the ship about like a cork. Medea hypnotizes him with her sorcery, and in a bout of insanity, Talos removes a thick bronze nail from his heel. Without this nail, the ichor from within Talos' body gushes out, poisoning and killing him. With Talos' death, the Argo safetly docks on the isle.
At the end of their extensive journey, the Argonauts return to Iolcos, but Pelias refuses to yield his throne to Jason. Hera, angry with Pelias, manipulates Medea into murdering him; Medea approaches Pelias' daughters and offers to restore their father's youth and vitality. As a demonstration, Medea asks that Jason's father, the ailing Aeson, be summoned from Pelias' dungeon; when he arrives, Medea slits his throat and submerges his lifeless body in a hydria of boiling water. After Medea adds several magical herbs, Aeson emerges alive and rejuvenated. Captivated by Medea's sorcery, Pelias' daughters butcher their father and dump his body parts into the frothing cauldron; however, Medea withholds her herbs and Pelias remained dead.
Acastus, a fellow Argonaut and son of Pelias, is outraged by the murder of his father; Jason and Medea are driven from Iolcos and claim sanctuary in Corinth. While there, King Creon urges Jason to forsake Medea and marry his daughter, Glauce; although Medea bears Jason two children, he concedes wedding Glauce to strengthen his political connections. Stunned and aching from Jason's betrayal, Medea presents Glauce with bewitched clothing as wedding gifts. When Glauce dons these garments, they cling to her body and spontaneously combust; she is soon consumed by the flames, as is Creon, who embraces his dying daughter. To spite Jason, Medea murders her own children and takes their dead bodies with her as she flees Corinth atop the chariot of her grandfather, Helios.
Medea makes her way to Athens, where she marries King Aegeus and gives birth to a son, Medus. The two live a blissful and serene life until Theseus, a son of both Aegeus and Aethra, arrives in Athens. Medea immediately identifies who he is; wishing to ensure Medus' inheritance of the Athenian throne, she plots to kill Theseus. Playing on Aegeus' suspicions of the newcomer, she orders Theseus to prove his valor by capturing the Marathonian Bull. After he succeeds, Medea offers him a skyphos of poisoned wine. Before Theseus can sip the poison, Aegeus recognizes the equipment he is wearing and realizes Theseus is his son. Aegeus knocks the cup out of Medea's hand; the reunited father and son embrace.
Upset over the attempted murder, Aegeus angrily forces Medea and Medus out of Athens; they return to Colchis, where they discover Aeëtes has been killed by his brother, Perses. As a precaution to protect his seat on the throne, Perses imprisons Medus; furious, Medea impersonates a priestess and calls down a plague upon Colchis. When Perses seeks his priestess' council, Medea advises that she be sacrificed as a tribute to the gods. Perses concedes, but amidst the sacrificial ceremony, Medea grabs the ritual knife and uses it to kill her uncle. Medus is freed and becomes the new King; he later annexes a nearby country and renames it in honor of his mother.
Typically, Epic Spirits of an evil nature like Caster are not eligible for participation in the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars; however, after the Holy Grail was tainted in the third war, most of the restrictions against such spirits were lifted. Caster's first Master was a member of the Mage's Association, but Caster killed him in retribution for his cruelty and abuse. On the verge of her spiritual body dissipating, she stumbled upon Soichiro Kuzuki at the foot of the Ryudoji Temple. Caster begged this stranger for his help; Soichiro obliged without hesitation, forming a new contract with her. He then brought Caster into the temple and attended to her recovery. Caster quickly fell in love with Soichiro, for he was the first man to show her genuine kindness, dedication and loyalty. Her primary objective shifted from obtaining the Holy Grail for herself to simply preserving their short time together. To achieve this end, she has been siphoning Mana from the populace of Fuyuki City and has been fortifying her position on Mount Enzo.
Caster is killed in every scenario of Fate/stay night. In Fate, her stronghold in the Ryudoji Temple is briefly assaulted by Saber, though her own Servant, Assassin, manages to hold her back. She is later torn apart by Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon while ambushing Shiro Emiya and Saber. In Unlimited Blade Works, she manages to stab Saber with Rule Breaker and negate her contract with Shiro; Caster then abducts Saber and tortures her, hoping to provoke Saber into becoming her Servant. While attempting to kill Shiro Emiya and Rin Tosaka in the basement of the Kotomine Church, she dies protecting her Master from Archer's hailstorm of blades. Caster is killed early on in Heaven's Feel by Saber, but Zoken Mato uses one of his worm familiars to maintain her body as a puppet.
In Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, Caster goes about as a normal woman, normally hanging around the mall. She is the first person to discover the four-day time loop (other than the player). She also fights the dog-shadows using anti-army spells, often coming close to killing her allies.

Posts tagged 'pizza'
Ever since I began my work at the Capital Area Food Bank, I've been looking at the contents of my fridge in a different light. Rather than feel like I've got to stop and pick up a chicken or thaw pork chops or even make pasta and sauce, I've been trying to look at the random bits and items hanging out in the refrigerator as ingredients for whole meals, to go and buy less and make do more. The concept really hit its stride on Monday evening.
Imagine, if you will, a refrigerator apparently housing nothing but condiments and appetizery stuff. Cheese. Artichoke hearts. Tortillas. Pickledy things. Imagine a food blogger, too lazy to go to the store, too bored with quesadillas, staring into the depths and discovering turkey pepperoni, and the remains of a big-box jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Imagine the bulb going off, as bright as the refrigerator light.
Why not… tortilla pizzas!
This might have gone better with a pizza stone, but still it went awfully well. I put two flour tortillas for each of us on two small baking sheets (lined with parchment against the mess and to try to help with crisping, parchment misted with olive oil spray). Preheated the oven to 450. Brushed each tortilla with olive oil and then sprinkled sea salt over for flavor and good measure. Then I started pulling the ingredients out of the fridge: a shredded Italian four-cheese blend, little mozzarella balls, the artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes. Turkey pepperoni, roasted garlic in olive oil, the last few jalapeno-stuffed green olives. I called my husband in and explained what we were about to attempt, and he jumped right in to build his personal pizzas.
Not ten minutes later (a few minutes for loading the tortillas with ingredients, 5-7 minutes in the oven), we pulled lovely, puffy little pizzas out of the oven.
Okay, mine were lovely and puffy.
His were guy pizzas.
We were both happy. He poured a Spaten, I opened a Real Ale Devil's Backbone, and voila! A simple, relatively inexpensive, leftover-using tasty supper. The tortilla crusts were a little layered and a bit crunchy. The appetizer ingredients came together in a nice whole. I particularly liked having sprinkled the Italian cheese blend right onto the crust and the chewy crunchy cheesy goodness that resulted. And what else would we wordplayers call them but tortizzas? We'll be doing it again tonight.
Disclaimer: I'd already roasted about a hundred garlic cloves a few weeks before, covering them with olive oil in a pint jar and storing them in the fridge. The leftover artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes were from big jars from Costco purchased for prep for a party a few months before, both also kept safe in olive oil. We just happen to have a lot of cheese around, because someone *coughmecough* has a whole lot of Wisconsin in her DNA, and the turkey pepperoni is part of our attempt not to snack on cheese all the time. Your own fridge remnants may vary. One of these days we will move from creative scrounging to longer-term meal planning.
Pizza, Salad
This post feels like cheating, but I realize, to take the pressure off myself, that I said I'd keep track of what we ate, not what I cooked, and that's it's about the meal, and not the making of the meal.
Rationalizing aside, the menu: California Pizza Kitchen Sicilian pizza * farmers market salad
Prepare pizza according to package directions. When you take it out of the oven, drizzle olive oil over and grind crushed red pepper flakes over. Use farmers market ingredients from crisper for salad: greens, cherry tomatoes, red pepper, salad pepper, cukes. Empty drawers completely for farmers market run the next morning. Drizzle with sun-dried tomato vinaigrette.

In the following the constituents of a calibration certificate for non-automatic weighing instruments (NaWis) are explained.
Depending on the type of the scales the content may vary.
1. "Official" document
The KERN DAkkS calibration laboratory (D-K-19408-01-00) is accredited through the accreditation Point of the German calibration service. The DAkkS calibration certificate is recognised internationally and is available in several languages.
2. Item to be calibrated
The calibration item as well as the type or model with serial number is documented. This means that there is no confusion and guarantees the assignment of the DAkkS calibration certificate to a specific balance.
3. Traceability
The reference standards of the accredited laboratory are monitored in strictly defined cycles and periodically brought into line with national and thereby international standards. This is carefully documented and given on the DAkkS calibration certificate. In this way the basic fundamental traceability to the national standard is ensured.
4. Contracting authority
On the very first page of the DAkkS calibration certificate you will clearly see the applicant or operator of the calibrated checking equipment.
5. Metrological part
As well as other tests, three metrological tests are carried out during DAkkS calibration. These are to test repeatability, accuracy and eccentric loading.
In standard the measuring points are distributed according to EURAMET cg-18. But it is also possible to have additional measuring points within the repeatability and accuracy measurement.
Kindly let us know your desired additional measuring points in your order and we will be glad to consider those. You can find the price for the additional measuring points here.
6. Measurement uncertainty of a balance
This is determined individually for each balance according to a precisely given test method and is documented in the calibration certificate. It depends on various factors, both internal and external to the balance.
7. Usage accuracy
Usage accuracy gives the uncertainty when the operator uses the measuring equipment on site. This value, which is established by a mathematical equation, is affected by changes in temperature, type of use an other factors.
8. Minimum weight of sample (additional achievement)
The smaller the sample weight, the larger the relative measuring uncertainty. For those responsible for weighing processes, it is important to determine the deviations which occur when establishing values of the smallest loads. Determining the minimum sample weight declares in this way, clearly the various requirements on the weighing accuracy in relation to the sample weight.
9. Certificate of conformity (additional achievement)
In combination with a DAkkS calibration certificate the certificate of conformity serves as a documented confirmation that the balance fulfills the requirements defined by you. There are different tolerance specifications that can be chosen:
- Uncertainty and / or calibration results relative
- Uncertainty and / or calibration results absolut
- Measured values as specification of manufacturer (KERN balances or other manufacturers)
- Measured values as specification of customer
A certificate of conformity can be issued independent of manufacturer for new calibrated balances as well as for a recalibration of balances.
You will find more information about the certificates of conformity here.

FULL TEXT: Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 11 – Alimony is just another big racket, in the opinion of Justice William Smathers of the domestic relations court here who said today, in denying the application of Mrs. Alfred [sic] Bischoff, 32, for alimony from her estranged husband, Charles [sic] Bischoff, 56, a candy maker.
"There are too many women living a free and easy life off such money. Just because a woman is a man's wife and leaves him is no reason for an alimony award."
Mrs. Bischoff admitted she left her husband more than two years ago, but she said she was willing to return to him.
Bischoff, however, had different ideas.
"Nothing doing," he said. "She beats me up too often. I am broke now but happy."
["Alimony Racket Is Assailed By Eastern Judge," The Lincoln Sunday Star (Ne.), Oct. 12, 1930, p. 11]
So far, no lengthier version of this story, or version without misstated names, has surfaced.

Another one bites the dust. According to the Wall Street Journal, Digg has been sold to New York technology development firm Betaworks for $500,000, a deep discount for a social-media site once valued at more than $160 million. The website was founded in 2004 as a way for consumers to put together their own collections of news and other Internet content, rather than relying on the choices made by newspaper editors. Digg users would post links on the site's home page, then others would [...]

5 Things I Learned from the Regretsy – PayPal Issue

Yesterday I learned about Regretsy, a fail blog about handcrafts. It basically takes items (mostly from Etsy.com) that are considered art failures and features them on the site. Regretsy also maintains a fund for charitable donations. Last month, April Winchell, founder of the site, wanted to raise money for children who weren't expecting gifts this holiday season. So she made the announcement of her fundraiser on the site and in a few hours they had enough money to make gifts [...]

Worshipping God
Following Jesus
Sharing His Love
At the end of his Gospel Matthew quotes the words Jesus spoke to his apostles before he left them and returned to Heaven:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I
have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew
Therefore, as Christians following Jesus and sharing His love we wish to tell the World of the greatness of His Kingdom. However, mission also needs to be expressed within a wider context and this includes a commitment to the World Church in a spirit of giving and receiving. We therefore wish to share in other ways, remembering that Jesus, as well as telling us to love God also told us to "Love your neighbour as yourself" (Mark 12:31).
At St Michael's we share God's love in many ways, several of which are described in this Mission section of the website.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked the reports that the agency was planning to arrest the Senate President Bukola Saraki over the theft of the Paris Club refund.
It a statement, the anti-graft body said there was no truth in an online news portal published on March 3 (Friday) that said Bukola Saraki claimed to have told EFCC that he had borrowed N5b from Africa's richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, to fund the election of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The EFCC in the statement signed by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, dissociated itself from the report, saying no official of the commission was authorized to speak with the online medium on the story or on any issue affecting the investigation of the Paris Club Refund.
The statement read: "The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a story entitled, 'Theft of Paris Club Refund: Saraki Claimed He Borrowed N5b from Dangote to Fund Buhari's Election' which appeared in the online news portal Saharareporters today, Friday March 3, 2017.
"The report quoting an unnamed EFCC agent claims that Senate President Bukola Saraki and some state governors embezzled billions of Naira from the London/ Paris Club refund.
"Specifically, it alleges that Mr. Saraki received about N3.5billion from the so-called slush fund, and colluded with some governors to launder N5 billion out of the funds to multi-billionaire businessman, Aliko Dangote, ostensibly as refund for supporting the campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari.
"The Commission wishes to dissociate itself from the report, as no official of the EFCC was authorized to speak with Saharareporters on the said story or on any issue affecting the investigation of the Paris Club refund.
"The Commission had previously issued a statement that its investigation is at a preliminary stage, and promised to brief the media subsequently. But it seems a section of the press is impatient and will pre-empt the investigation with spurious claims.
"Anyone familiar with the operations of the EFCC would know that it is not the standard procedure for the Commission to give prior notices or make announcements ahead of the arrest of suspects. It is also not the EFCC's style to obtain presidential directive before an arrest is made. To this extent, it beggars reason for Saharareporters to claim that, "A senior EFCC agent disclosed that anti-corruption officials were on the verge of arresting Mr. Saraki and his accomplice, a former MD of his late father's bank, Robert Mbonu. The source said EFCC operatives paused when they were told to wait until President Buhari returns from his vacation on February 6".
"For the umpteenth time, the EFCC wishes to implore the media to be circumspect and confirm their reports before publication as no useful purpose is served in publishing inaccurate information that ends up scandalizing individuals and jeopardizing ongoing investigations."
No Plan To Arrest Saraki, says EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked the reports that the agency was planning to arrest the Senate President Bukola Saraki over the theft of the Paris Club refund.

Montessori Monday: The Division Board
Throughout the Montessori materials, particular structures are in place to support children as they adopt and expand their understanding of the world around them. In the Early Childhood years, these include materials that build on children's earlier experiences and respond to their development across multiple domains.
For example, a child who is interested in learning to write her name needs first to have the physical capacity to hold a pencil and to form each letter legibly. She needs to be able to recognize particular letters. She needs to be able to sequence those letters. She needs to be able to plan where on the page she'll write, how tall each letter will be, what direction the word will go... a seemingly simple task, like writing the name, "Ann" actually includes multiple, complicated physical, intellectual and cognitive tasks within it. As a result, parents can see ample opportunities for our youngest children to develop their physical skills and build their cognitive ones, step by step, concretely and simply, until they are second hand. Likewise, as children grow and develop these skills, they become ready for more complicated tasks, ones that require more complex and simultaneous coordination of their thinking and bodies. They become capable of thinking more abstractly, of holding information in their minds for longer and imaging things which are not in their hands.
Parents see children, after early experiences is Montessori, engaged in more academically advanced lessons, moving with the momentum provided by the foundation of the earlier work. The Division Board is one such example. For a young child of two or three, the Board would be an attractive series of beads without much purpose. For the more experienced child who has already explored and experimented with the Golden Beads and is able to think more abstractly, table-top exercises with smaller symbolic materials are more appropriate. After mastering Addition and Multiplication with the Golden Beads, the child moves on to Division and, later, Subtraction with the Golden Beads. When the teacher observes that the child is processing those operations quickly, using his or her memory and keeping quantities "in mind" instead of "in hand," she or he will introduce the boards. The child has already experienced separating thousands, hundreds, tens and units into identical groups. Now, she is ready to increase her speed in these operations by using symbolic materials.
Here, the child uses a series of small skittles to symbolize people or groups. Then, she counts out the quantity identified in her division equation, giving each skittle one bead until all the beads have been distributed. Then, she can count up how many each has and how many are remaining. She can choose to work through equations offered to her by the teacher or a friend or to develop her own, and she can choose whether to record those equations. Each choice reflects a different capacity for the child and a different physical, intellectual and cognitive challenge.
As children remain in Montessori, the foundations of simple, concrete experiences in their younger years blossom into the complicated, thorough understanding of seemingly complex concepts, often far earlier than parents might expect children to master these materials. If, like many adults, you remember learning Division in Third Grade, you should not be surprised when your five or six year old discusses division with four-digit numbers in his or her Montessori classroom. When academic concepts are presenting in a developmentally appropriate way, responsive to the cognitive, physical, intellectual and emotional growth of the child, great things can happen.

Two dance productions which premiered at Cast in Doncaster are nominated for 'Achievement in Dance' at this year's prestigious UK Theatre Awards. The two productions up for the award are Coal and Jane Eyre.
Coal marked the 30th anniversary of the end of the 1984/85 British Miners' strike. Gary Clarke Company took a nostalgic look at the hard-hitting realities of life at the coal face. Initially created as an experimental pilot piece, Coal received its first preview at Cast in 2015 before returning to Doncaster as part of its first national tour in March 2016.
Northern Ballet's Jane Eyre made its world premiere performance at the Doncaster venue in May. Based on Charlotte Brontë's most famous work, Cathy Marston's full-length ballet premiered to Cast's sell-out crowds, during the 200th anniversary year of Charlotte Brontë's birth, to much critical acclaim.
'Cast's audiences are hugely passionate about high quality dance and we're thrilled that two great Doncaster premieres are nominated. Gary Clarke Company and Northern Ballet have both built a strong following in the region.'
This Autumn, Cast welcomes Ballet Black to Doncaster on Wednesday 2 November. In their first visit to the town, Ballet Black will perform the company's new Triple Bill featuring Scottish Ballet Artistic Director Christopher Hampson's Storyville, and two new short ballets by Christopher Marney and Arthur Pita.
Looking ahead to May 2017, Cast is delighted to welcome back the UK's foremost narrative ballet company, Northern Ballet with the world premiere of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas based on John Boyne's heartbreaking novel.
The winners for the UK Theatre Awards will be announced on Sunday 9 October 2016. You can find more about Cast's dance programme by clicking here.
