Volunteers give up their time, talents or expertise to support individuals, organizations or causes - for no monetary gain. Volunteers show concern or compassion about something or someone other than themselves.
They put in time, effort and commitment to help people, animals or causes that make a difference in their community. They turn their values or beliefs into action to improve a person's life or situation. Studies also show that people are healthier mentally and physically when they help others.
Non-profit organizations depend on volunteers to help promote their missions. They also need volunteers who represent their charities well.
Volunteers who are not up to the task or give a poor impression, reflect poorly on their organizations. Volunteer performance can impact the support of donors - good and bad.
Energy - They hit the ground running with a positive spirit and drive that motivates and inspires.
Passion - They have the ability to share passions with others and for the cause, even if it includes doing mundane tasks.
Reliability - They commit the time needed, show up on time and see the tasks through to completion.
Team player - They work well with others; are approachable, friendly and cooperative; and have patience.
Integrity - They can be trusted with their organization's resources, facilities and beneficiaries.
Commitment - They have regular and sustained involvement.
Compassion - They display empathy toward a person or cause.
Communicator - They have the ability to relate to workers, fellow volunteers and those you are trying to help.
Self-starter - They have the ability to jump in and start without lots of direction, and are able to work with others or autonomously when necessary.
People who have suffered problems and used non-profit services often make some of the best volunteers.
People who had challenging issues and experiences are often encouraged to become a volunteer. Lack of formal education, qualifications or experience are not an issue. Volunteers come from everywhere and with many different backgrounds. If they are willing to learn and show commitment, their contributions are welcomed.
If you have the desired attributes outlined above, then volunteering is probably right for you. You should take time to find a group that shares your interest, passion and commitment.
What is your first impression of this organization/cause?
What will be the most challenging parts about volunteering there?
What will be the rewards of volunteering there?
In most cases, you will be interviewed before being accepted as a volunteer. It is important that you prepare and do your homework for the interview. It is best to prepare for all types and styles of interview formats.
Knowing the mission of the organization or basis of the cause is essential. Study and be very familiar with their website and information on it along with any brochures or publications they may have had published.
Before your interview, develop some questions you would like to ask about the organization or cause. People like to tell about their job or mission. Listen carefully to their responses. They will tell you why they are committed to their cause.
By volunteering, you will make your community a better place. You will help those in need and you will feel a personal fulfillment for doing something for others.

Q: sed command doesn't work in shell script I have a shell script that looks like the following:
#!/bin/bash
for file in $1/*.html; do
   echo "Working on $file ..."

   # delete headers in html files.
   sed -n '1,9d' $file

   # delete the last 4 lines of the file.
   sed -n -e :a -e '1,4!{P;N;D;};N;ba'

   # ant runs regex task on all apt files
   ant -Dtarget.file=$file

   # all .html are changed to .md
   mv $file `echo $file | sed 's/\(.*\.\)html/\1md/'` ;

done

but the script hangs on the first sed command and I have to force exit. I'm wondering if there's anything wrong about the way I've set this up?
If I remove the first two sed commands, I can run the other parts of the script, including that final one with a sed command in it.

A: I think you'll find it's hanging on the second sed, where you don't provide a file name to work on. In other words, it will take its standard input from the terminal.
You won't get output from the first sed since -n prevents the default printing of the pattern space. If you're trying to change the actual file rather than output the changes to standard output, you need the -i inplace editor.
If you can't use the inplace option, you'll have to do something like:
sed -n '1,9d' ${file} >${file}.tmp0
sed -n -e :a -e '1,4!{P;N;D;};N;ba' ${file}.tmp0 >${file}
rm -f ${file}.tmp0

This uses a temporary file for making the changes except for the last change, which overwrites the original file. Keep in mind that this changes the original - if that's not what you want, you can change the second sed to output to ${file}.tmp2 but you'll have to adjust your subsequent commands to take that into account.
If you really want to delete the first nine and last four lines of a file, you can also use something like:
head --lines=-4 oldfile.txt | tail --lines=+10 >newfile.txt

provided you have a [rd]ecent implementation of head/tail. The head prints all but the last four lines and the tail starts printing at line ten.

A: What command are you running?  If nothing matches the file glob, then it will physically insert the unexpanded string there.
For example, try this:
$ for i in foo/*.bar; do echo $i; done
foo/*.bar

So your sed script is bombing out because the file name it is receiving doesn't exist, which means it will act as if no file argument was specified (ie stdin).

A: Change the first line to:
#!/bin/bash -x

This will show you each command as bash executes it, after all expansions have taken place.
My guess is that $1/*.html isn't matching any files; hence the sed line evaluates to just sed -n '1,9d' and so sed is trying to read from stdin

A very sad event has occurred over the years, which has ultimately created an epidemic. It is the continuous shunning of a very important, beautiful player in all of our health. We have all gone too far and it's time to take a stand against the victimization of...Carbs.
Carbs have long been labeled as demons. Doctors, diets, and media all tell you to stay away from the tastiest macronutrient to bless this planet. Carbs were said to be the reason we gain weight. It is why people brag about eating salads and feel guilty when they eat donuts, pizza, or hot cookies straight out of the oven… Mm mm. Carbs are typically premade, making them easy to grab and eat. They are also even easier to over-eat because they are delicious as heck.
However, what everyone forgets to tell you is how important carbs are while training. If you are consistently sluggish and cannot manage to recover fully without feeling sore; or maybe you are not seeing the muscular results that you want and your muscles are not looking as "full". Perhaps it is time to let these glorious treats into your life and let them work their magic.
Carbs energize you while you work out. They give you optimal recovery aftewards so you do not feel crippled the next time you train. Not only that, but carbs help fuel your cells while they are rebuilding and growing your muscles. Ultimately, your body can not transform or even perform the way you want without them.
This is by no means a way for you to go on a rampage and stuff your face. When you eat carbs and how many carbs you eat should be proportional to your training time, your body weight, and how physically demanding your workout is. Balance and timing are everything! But, we must let go of the idea that carbs are the devil. Carbs are friends in food form and you wouldn't leave a friend behind, would you?

What if the one thing the world is missing is the single unique thing you have to offer? Your heart. Your soul. Your passions. Your quirky smile. Your kindness. Your humor. Your courage. Your unwillingness to give up. Your desire to serve behind the scenes. Your creativity.
What if the world is missing you?
What if the world is thirsty for the beauty of God as He expresses Himself through you, and what if they can't even identify that thirst?
Everything is holding us back from offering ourselves to the world, because it's either too good to be true, or too difficult to believe. Or both.
Our fears are too great to overcome.
And we just don't really believe that anyone needs us. There are so many better people than us.
WE JUST DON'T REALLY BELIEVE.
And we bring all those doubts and misgivings about ourselves to Scripture, and we read something like this chunk of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:14-16), and then we're screwed because Christ's words don't align with our beliefs about not really believing.
Please understand who Jesus is speaking to here. He's looking into the worn and wrinkled faces of broken and battered people who had Palestinian dust pressed into every crevice of their skin. They have no clout in any arena where clout or influence is required. They are one half-step above the bottom of the smelly caste barrel that society accepted as normal.
But as the master Rabbi teaches them, He's making absurd comments about them.
If they could afford a mirror, they'd look into it and see only darkness, if they had the courage to look into it at all. But not in the mind and heart of Jesus. Jesus always seems to see what no one else sees, and He has the uncanny ability to frame that vision into a truth that everyone must either love or hate.
JESUS ALWAYS SEEMS TO SEE WHAT NO ONE ELSE SEES, AND HE HAS THE UNCANNY ABILITY TO FRAME THAT VISION INTO A TRUTH THAT EVERYONE MUST EITHER LOVE OR HATE.
Can these words on this hillside really be true?
I get it – I get that we Christians are always very careful to give all the glory to God, and to say things like, "Oh. That wasn't me. That was Jesus." We really want for Jesus to be the light, and make no mistake about it. Jesus is the light.
But you are imprinted with that exact same Light.
That doesn't make us equal to Jesus or divine or anything like that. But in the mind of Jesus, broken people are also illuminating people, because the presence of Christ is not a respecter of persons.
PEOPLE WHO ARE WELL AWARE OF THEIR OWN BROKENNESS WILL SHINE THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT.
So it all comes down to each one of us. What if the world needs your light so they'll be drawn to the truest ever Light-Giver? What if Jesus' words to them are really the words of God to us?
That might just be enough to inspire us to live differently today. So go into your world.

Area instructor in national fitness competition
By Mark RountreeLeavenworth Times
LEAVENWORTH — A fitness instructor on Fort Leavenworth is competing to be featured on the cover of a national magazine and collect a cash prize of $20,000.
Karyn Smith recently was selected by the magazine Muscle & Fitness Hers among an applicant list of some 10,000 women to compete in the first round of the competition, which is based on fitness experience and photos of the contestants' physiques.
All rounds of the competition are by the choice of online voters. There are four rounds, ultimately leading the winner to the title of Ms. Health & Fitness USA 2019.
Smith said that if she wins the competition, she will start a process to purchase Ables Field in Leavenworth and renovate the facility into a community fitness and sports venue.
Smith is an Army spouse who has been a fitness instructor at many of the family's duty stations.
She holds 12 certifications to teach group exercise classes, to include pilates, spin, aqua fitness and weightlifting.
Smith, 39, is the mother of four children. Her husband recently graduated from the Command and General Staff College on Fort Leavenworth. They have been stationed in Leavenworth for one year.
"Training people to become fitter, healthier and live longer is my lifelong goal," she said.
She said that she "found confidence and strength" that she never knew she had from a spin class 11 years ago.
"The Army saw more potential in me than just a dependent, and supported my physical and leadership goals to take on a new career as a group instructor and personal trainer," she said. "My lifelong passion is to give back to thousands of people who lack strength and need my guidance to gain confidence and skills to grow."
Voting for the competition concludes Wednesday.


For a client who is runing jboss 4.2.0 i set apache as a reverse proxy so that his application should be avalable externally from the web.
But when trying to access his web apps i get a 404 error from jboss.
For example: the url is: http://www.clientname.eu/be/symreporting this url directs to the server who is runing apache and jboss. To do so they use Novel Access Manager.
One of there webapps is called Portal which internally can be accesed with http://servername:8082/Portal.
I tried changing the context root in the web.xml of the web app to /be/symreporting/Portalbut this doesn't help.
Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking of using the mod_rewrite with apache to remove the /be/symreportingbut i want to check if there is not a more easy solution in jboss for this problem?
i have modified the server.xml configuration to "virtual hosting" but still it doesn't work!

Are You Brave Enough to Meet Bigfoot?
The legend of Bigfoot is well-known, indeed. It says that a large hairy creature who walks on two legs hides in the forests across the US… but while it is caught on camera occasionally, there is no definite proof it exists.
So could you see it if you play Bigfoot , the game that is waiting for you once you've read our review?
The game comes complete with 25 lines and the usual array of five reels.
You can start with a penny per line if you like, but there is a facility to click the plus button to bring that up all the way to two dollars per line.
Does Bigfoot have more valuable symbols in play?
Bigfoot is, of course, the wild in this title named after the monster. He will show up on the second, third and fourth reels of the game. He also stands in for other symbols except the scatter, which in this game is represented by none other than a Bigfoot footprint.
You sure can, and it comes in the shape of some free spins. You get 10 free games in exchange for finding three or more footprints on the reels. There are doubled prizes to be won here as well.
But you do also get another game, and this is the Bigfoot Feature. You have to find three instances of Bigfoot to trigger this, one on each of those center-three reels. You will see a series of eyes in the forest, and you have to correctly guess which one is Bigfoot. You get a prize for every selection you make, but if you manage to find Bigfoot, you get a larger prize as a reward!
Download and play Bigfoot now!
This game is really appealing and makes good use of the Bigfoot legend. Whether you believe it or not, you will find yourself wanting to see Bigfoot in the game, because he can bring you bigger prizes when he does appear.
The ideal situation is to get those free spins and to find the extra feature as well. This means you get a shot at locating Bigfoot in the forest for yourself – and you never know what the prize could be for doing that. Will you get lucky and discover the secret of Bigfoot?

Members of the Harvard community gathered in Memorial Church on Wednesday to share memories of Wendy H. Chang '12, who died on April 21.
Attendees of the memorial, which was organized by friends of Chang, filled up two thirds of the pews in the church.
A spokesperson for the agency overseeing the medical examiner confirmed last week that Chang's death had been ruled a suicide.
An only child, Chang is survived by her father C.J. and her mother Ingrid.
The service began with opening words from Lowell House Co-Master Dorothy A. Austin and Tanya Henderson, a leader for the Buddhist movement Soka Gakkai International, which Chang belonged to.
While members of the Nichiren Buddhist Community performed a chant, attendees formed a procession to offer a rose or incense for Chang's spirit. According to a pamphlet distributed by S.G.I. at the memorial, the "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo" chant was meant to awaken Buddhist brotherhood, while the smell of incense symbolizes the everlasting presence of loved ones who have died.
Lowell House Co-Master Diana L. Eck read aloud excerpts of a speech Chang had submitted for the senior class' upcoming Class Day exercises.
In the speech, entitled "Many Brick Buildings," Chang wrote that Harvard students were much like the strong brick buildings that populate the campus. She cautioned her fellow students not to house their hearts behind brick exteriors.
"We are often seen more as seeming okay rather than being okay," Eck read from Chang's speech.
"Never did I imagine I would walk through life without her," said Kristin E. Arn '12. She had imagined that she and Chang would pick out graduation dresses together, be bridesmaids in each others' weddings, and sit side by side at reunions, she said.
Many students spoke of Chang's ability to make even banal and ordinary aspects of life exciting.
An important subplot in Lan Samantha Chang's "All Is Forgotten, Nothing Is Lost" involves a mysterious poem that is never properly finished.
Wendy H. Chang '12, an English concentrator and resident of Lowell House, died Saturday.
Incoming Art Chair Natalie T. Chang imagines what happened during her semester abroad.

Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional 14 January 2022
When you read about the armour of God in Ephesians 6, you'll discover that the description of what we're supposed to put on reveals how the enemy fights. We can decipher, from our own defensive paraphernalia what weapons the enemy uses: "Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation…" (Ephesians 6:14-17).
Notice what it says about faith: with it, you can quench all of Satan's fiery darts. That tells us what kind of material his missiles are. His missiles all have to do with making you accept something or believe something against God. These may be fiery darts of discouragement, depression, fear, failure or sickness; all aimed at making you take a stand against God's Word. But the Bible says, "…taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked" (Ephesians 6:16). With your faith, you can put out, not some, but all of the fiery missiles of the wicked one. Your faith is your shield.
Take up your faith! Don't give it up.
Someone said, "I was actually acting in faith, but things went wrong and I gave up." No! Don't drop your faith; the missiles directed at you from demonic forces can only be neutralized by faith. The Bible says "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). The more of God's Word that comes into your spirit, the more faith you get. And the more you use your faith, the more it's strengthened; and when the devil throws his missiles, you'll be unmoved because they'll be disintegrated by your shield of faith.

BILLY GRAHAM 14 JANUARY 2022 DAILY DEVOTIONAL — Do You Know God?
RCCG 2022 Fasting And Prayer points for 14 January 2022 Friday : Day 4


Rico Ilarde is the writer and director of Altar. His previous movies Aquarium and Beneath The Cogon (Sa Ilalim Ng Cogon) were shown in FEFF 2006.
How would you describe the present state of the Philippine film industry?
I try not to think too much about what other people are doing or thinking. After spending some years in the industry, you understand pretty well, at a certain juncture, that you can't really change how other people think or behave. The best thing for me is to try and grow as a filmmaker. Develop skills, improve my craft, and be physically healthy enough that I have the stamina to try and achieve my goals in front of the camera, regardless of time and budget constraints. It's like practicing your kung fu alone inside a room. It's thankless in that there's no immediate pat in the back, but the results can speak volumes.
How did you come up with the concept for Altar?
A bunch of places - one of them a TV show I wrote and directed about a pair of carpenters being haunted by the spectre of a young girl. Then I came up with a back-story for the hero, added a basement with a weird altar and then tried to add a twist to a twist that led to another twist. I also wanted to make the piece have a "noirish" feel with a tough guy foreman character in the back-center of it, created in the mold of a Lee Marvin or a Warren Oates or a George Raft.
How long does it take you to make a movie?
I have a lot of scripts and stories, assembled through the years, just lying around, waiting for a producer to fund them. It's a brutal process. El Kapitan: Blood Of The Virgin (1999), my first mainstream film, took six years from the first draft of the script to the eventual first day of shooting. By comparison, Altar happened fairly quickly- two years.
Is box office appeal a factor when you make your movies?
Personally, I always hope that my films make some money back for the producer, cause it could mean more films for me down the road. It also helps promote the notion that you're a bankable director - or one who can at least "open" a film - and this way, you hope other producers won't shy away from you. Like the famous scriptwriter William Goldman said, it's all about the next film. Then again, the local box office of Filipino films in recent years has taken such a dramatic dive that expectations aren't too high, and that sometimes, it's far more important for your film to be talked about and remembered for a unique or special quality. Case in point, my film Woman Of Mud (2001), didn't do all that great at the local box office, but gained a measure of popularity after repeated screenings on cable TV. I guess there was some truth to what "Mother" Lily Monteverde the producer said after she screened the first print: that the movie would age well and wouldn't look "dated" any time soon.

Good Sense from a Kinnock
By Andrew Stuttaford
About Andrew Stuttaford
Now there's a headline I never thought that I'd write, but, here, writing in the Financial Times, is Steven Kinnock, son of Neil (the former Labour leader), and himself Labour MP for Aberavon.
It's possible to disagree with some of what Kinnock has to say on the relationship between the Article 50 procedure (based on Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty) establishing the terms of the U.K.'s divorce from the EU and the treaty's Article 218 (which, roughly speaking, determines what comes next), but he's quite right to argue that "the government must urgently focus its attention on building a bridge between the withdrawal (Article 50) and final-state (Article 218) stages of Brexit. Failure to do so would see the UK crashing out in just over 18 months time."
The latter would, whatever some might claim, be disastrous.
So what do?
Kinnock:
The simplest option is for Britain to transition into the European Economic Area (EEA) — a free-trade bloc between the EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein that provides unfettered access to the single market. It is a well-established and well-understood arrangement that offers the clarity and stability that the British economy needs in these turbulent times.
Yes, our old friend, the Norway option.
But what about immigration?
Kinnock (my emphasis added):
Crucially, the EEA allows its members to reform freedom of movement. If the UK were to leave the EU and join the EEA in March 2019 then the government could, if it wishes, invoke Article 112(1) of the EEA agreement, which allows for the unilateral establishment of a quota-based immigration system structured around regional and sectoral criteria.
But what about the European Court of Justice (ECJ), a bogeyman to Brexit ultras, for reasons that largely escape me: Once the U.K. is out of the EU and the machinery of 'ever closer union,' the ECJ's federalist bias ceases to be of much concern. Any trade agreement needs an arbitrator.
What's more, as Kinnock points out:
The EEA is also not subject to the European Court of Justice, instead it adheres to rulings of the EEA Joint Committee and the EFTA Surveillance Authority and Court, which regulate the internal market and have a more flexible approach to national interpretations of the rules for the single market than the ECJ.
That's true, although it implies a more independent relationship between the EFTA court and the ECJ than is really the case.
There's even more to be said for the EEA (or Norway) option: I touch on some of it here.
Meanwhile Kinnock argues that the EEA option should be temporary:
An end date for any transition deal is vital, meaning that the UK should not be seeking membership of the EEA for more than the time that it will take to negotiate and ratify the trade and partnership phase of Brexit. EEA membership must be seen as a well-established and relatively comfortable waiting room in which we can sit for as long as it takes [for] the government and its counterparts to negotiate a long-term deal.
So far as I am concerned (other Norway optioneers will disagree), the U.K. could do well to remain in that waiting room for a very long time and maybe even forever — or at least until 'events' intervene, which they will.

Return to "Sea Shells Coloring Pages Collection"
One of the most enjoyable things I can remember from my childhood is my wish to draw and color and I see that with my own kids now too. My litttle lady especially loves to color as well as anything else must be pink. Coloring pages for females specifically will offer area pictures they'll wish to color so they can love this particular wonderful creative activity. Of course this may include many princesses and perhaps dolls, puppies, stuffed animals and kittens. Basically I think it relies on anything cute.
Dad and Mom, create tell her that kittens aren't pink. Certainly there have to be a kitten somewhere on the planet that's pink. And if there isn't yet then just hold back until her creativity takes control over the problem. There soon will likely be. She will love coloring the kittens and princesses a great deal she might not need to stop. This is one activity that will be good to encourage because it will help her strengthen her mind in the fantastic creative manner.
Coloring pages for females will allow your little princesses to exhibit their flair and artistic powers in lots of ways. While young they may not take advantage beautiful creation plus they may not color inside the lines on a regular basis but they're going to color some amazing things (in their eyes). As they get older they are going to start to need to color inside the lines and combine the correct colors to produce some truly wonderful pictures that you will be proud to display and may even wish to frame.

Hi, I'm Danielle Parnes and this is my personal blog. While I don't write here very often, I usually try to post about useful things that I think might help others as well.
Are you ready to learn hypnosis fast?
Maximizing one's mind power is never an easy job. It is for a given fact that part of the tools that can make you increase your knowledge is by undergoing hypnosis. However, this is again not an effortless thing to do.
It requires a lot of preparation and planning so that you can achieve what you are dreaming to think about. It also requires diligent effort and hardwork so that you can achieve the desired level of thinking.
A number of people are already aiming to learn hypnosis fast. Well, in point of fact, this idea can only be learned if you understand the two types of hypnosis. There is the overt type.
In this type of hypnosis, you are putting your subject into a dream before they can be asked on what to do. Another type is the covert type.
In this type, the subject is placed into a dream but you will make use of some strategies that will convince them to do something devoid of their knowledge.
However, you have also to learn the different ways on how to learn hypnosis fast. Actually, there are a lot of ways on how you can possibly learn about this expertise. It is just upon the method that you will use.
Keep in mind that the method that you will use should make you comfortable with it and choose the one which will really outfit your personality.
Be a bookworm. There are a lot of helpful book sources out there that will let you get ideas about hypnosis. The power of books cannot be denied.
They are something that should be practiced so that you will be able to learn more of the simple techniques most particularly to those who wanted to learn more about self-hypnosis.
On the other hand, if you wish to learn more about hypnosis and you don't have much time browsing for the book sources, you can give yourself a formal training.
One more thing that you can consider doing is the online searching. There are available online sites that offer some hypnotic courses.
You can also take part of the free tutorials online. Just patiently browse for those sited and look for the courses that will teach you the basics and will help you to progress your skills.
If at all possible, always look for the sites that are also held by hypnosis schools as these will provide you with the accurate information about hypnosis.

Since I knew last week was going to be hectic, and I knew I needed to have something ready for lunch everyday that I wouldn't have to think about or I wouldn't eat, so I made this beautiful savory-veggie tart. Doesn't it make your mouth water just looking at it?
It couldn't have been easier to make, and it's so easy to re-heat at the office for a delectable lunch. I ate mine with a fried egg and rotisserie chicken, I felt like I was having a fancy Sunday brunch Monday-Friday, sans the mimosas (if only it were still Mad Men days)! This is the perfect summer to fall lunch, with yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, prosciutto, and cheese all wrapped in an olive oil-wheat crust, it's a perfect mix of vibrant, savory flavors and sweet veggies. It's the ideal make a head lunch! If you're not the eat-the-same-thing-everyday type, it freezes great, just wrap in parchment paper and stick in individual ziplocks, it will defrost by lunch time and it's great heated in the toaster oven.
let cool, either enjoy it right a way, or let cool completely, wrap in individual packages and freeze or store in the fridge.
*to slice the veggies so they're about the appropriate hight, cut the squash in half, then slice with cut side down (if using a traditional knife) or with the cut side out to one side or the other (if using an mandolin).

"Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
Lysander and Hermia are in love but they flee Athens because Hermia's father wants her to marry Demetrius. Helena is in love with Demetrius so tells him of the flight to win favour. Both follow the lovers into the forest where Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of the Fairies, are feuding. Oberon orders Puck to use a love potion on Demetrius so that he will fall in love with Helena but Puck mistakenly anoints Lysander's and Demetrius' eyes and both fall in love with Helena. Meanwhile, in another part of the wood, craftsmen are rehearsing a play and Puck fixes an ass's head on one named Bottom with whom Titania, under the influence of the potion, falls in love. After much confusion harmony is restored, and the play is performed at the multiple wedding of the Duke and the four young lovers.

"All the world's a stage, and all the
men and women merely players…"
Duke Frederick overthrows Duke Senior and exiles him. Oliver plots to kill his brother Orlando, who falls in love with Rosalind, Senior's daughter, and flees to the Forest of Arden. Rosalind disguises herself as a man called Ganymede and also escapes to Arden with her cousin Celia, daughter to Frederick. There Ganymede meets Orlando and agrees to help him win Rosalind's love. Orlando sees Oliver being hunted by a lion and rescues him. Wounded, Orlando cannot visit Ganymede and sends his brother instead, who falls in love with Celia. Ganymede reveals herself as Rosalind and all ends well.
Venice is out of control. Its ruler, Duke Vicentio, hands over power to the morally upright Angelo and pretends to leave for Poland. In reality the Duke, disguised as a friar, remains in Venice to see whether Angelo is successful at installing law and order. Over-zealous Angelo instantly imposes the death sentence on Claudio for getting his girlfriend, Juliet, pregnant. Claudio's sister, Isabella, a novice in a convent, is sent to Angelo to beg for mercy. Angelo offers to spare Claudio if she will sleep with him. Isabella refuses until the Duke, still in disguise, persuades her to agree to the deal and to send (under cover of darkness) Angelo's ex-girlfriend, Mariana, in her place for the so-called 'bed trick'. After the event, to cover his tracks, Angelo orders Claudio's execution and Claudio is only saved by a cunning plan to swap Claudio's head for that of a robber who had conveniently died that same morning. Isabella finally exposes Angelo's treachery and, as a punishment, Angelo is forced to marry Mariana. The play ends with the Duke proposing to Isabella.
"O God, sir, she's a dish I love not!"
Benedick and Beatrice have a love-hate relationship. Beatrice's cousin Hero loves Benedick's best friend Claudio. But before the wedding Don John arranges events so that Claudio believes Hero has been unfaithful and he spurns her at the altar. She faints and her father Leonato pretends she is dead. When Claudio discovers the accusation against Hero was false, he is grief-stricken. As punishment, Leonato orders him to marry his niece. He agrees and is married to a masked Hero. Benedick proposes to Beatrice.

Shylock agrees, but on the condition that if Antonio cannot repay him by a set date, he can take a pound of Antonio's flesh. When Antonio's ships are lost at sea, Shylock demands his compensation. Disguised as a lawyer, Portia successfully argues against Shylock taking his pound of flesh.

So suitors Gremio and Hortensio encourage Petruchio, in search of a rich wife, to take on the notoriously difficult 'Kate'. There is an instant, fiery attraction, and Kate agrees to the marriage. Once married Petruchio sets out to tame her by being more awkward than she is. Lucentio finally wins Bianca's hand only to discover she is now less obedient than her sister.
The Tempest*
"Your tale, sir, would cure deafness."
The Duke of Milan, now Prospero, has been overthrown by his brother Antonio and Alonso, King of Naples. He now rules a desolate island with powerful magic. When his enemies sail nearby, he creates a storm to wash them onto the island. Shipwrecked on another part of the island are Alonso's son, Ferdinand, and several reprobates who tempt Island creature Caliban to kill Prospero. Believing Ferdinand to be dead, Antonio encourages Sebastian to kill his brother Alonso so that he can become King of Naples. With the help of Ariel, the island spirit, Prospero foils their plans; Ferdinand and Miranda agree to marry; and Prospero forgives all.

Sixteen years later Perdita, unaware of her birth-right, falls in love with Polixenes' son and they elope to Sicilia. Reunited with the repentant Leontes, they visit a statue of Hermione. When the statue moves they discover that Hermione is alive. Leontes is reunited with wife, daughter and best friend.
Twelfth Night*
"If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it."
Viola's ship is wrecked, apparently killing her twin brother. She disguises herself as a man (Cesario) to join Duke Orsino's service. Cesario is tasked with making Olivia fall in love with the Duke but Olivia falls in love with Cesario. To make matters worse, Viola has fallen in love with Orsino, although he still believes that she is a man. Viola's twin brother is found alive and falls in love with Olivia. The comedy ends happily with marriages galore.
All's Well That Ends Well
Orphaned Helena, a gentlewoman in the household of the Countess of Rousillion, is in love with the Countess' son, Bertram. When she cures the King from a terminal illness he allows her to marry the man of her choice. The reluctant Bertram resists and leaves to fight in Italy. He says he will only accept Helena if she becomes pregnant with his child. Helena goes to Italy in disguise and tricks Bertram into sleeping with her by pretending to be Diana whom Bertram is trying to seduce. Helen's subsequent pregnancy leaves Bertram no option and he promises to be a faithful husband to her.
