Meet Mark Morris
Posted: February 4th, 2019
Famed choreographer Mark Morris returns to the United Kingdom this Spring with Pepperland, his new production based on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The production, which first premiered at Liverpool's Sgt. Pepper at 50 festival in 2017, takes the well-known songs as its start point but then expands the music and dance into unexpected directions with new composition and choreography.
Pepperland was critically acclaimed when it premiered at the festival but Morris, one of the world's leading choreographers and artistic director of New York based Mark Morris Dance Group, admits he was unsure about the project when he was first approached.
"It was Sean Doran, who was curating the festival and who I've known for a very long time, who asked me. I thought it was very surprising because it was kind of short notice and it's not a project I would have thought of on my own. I took some time to think about and decided there was enough interesting information and potential excitement to go ahead with it."
Morris was determined to give audiences something unexpected but he did admit to some nervousness about how the interpretation would be received in the Beatles' home city.
"Every single person who lives in Greater Liverpool is related to or went to school with one of the Beatles so they are all experts in all things Beatles," he laughs. "I was 'I sure hope they like it – because if not I'll hear about it!'
"I had no clue if it was going to work or not. We put it together very quickly because it was added onto all the work we already do all of the time – touring, rehearsing, performing – and then we added on this project.
"And we were like 'Can we get this done in time? Can we get the rights to the music and choreograph and compose and rehearse and design all this in the very short time we have?' So I was very relieved to have finished it in time to perform it and then was doubly happy that it was successful.
"But if they had wanted a trip down memory lane by an English person then they wouldn't have asked me! That's not the kind of stuff I do. I think Sean knew what he was getting into when he asked me."
There was an element of personal memory for Morris though – as he actually saw the Beatles performing live.
"It was the last tour before they stopped touring. I lived in Seattle and it was about 1966, I was like ten, and I saw them with my sisters and a bunch of their friends and it was a screaming nightmare! I knew their music from the radio and went with my sisters thinking it would be fun – but it wasn't! It was crazy. I think they stopped touring because nobody was listening to them, they were all too busy screaming!"
But a year later the Beatles released the iconic Sgt Pepper – an album which Morris found fascinating to take as inspiration.
"This album was never meant to be performed which is interesting," he says. "It was unperformable – and that was one of the reasons I chose to do it. I only work with live music, I wouldn't dream of working with recorded music, so it had to be a completely different take on the album.
"It was the first of its kind – it's fabulous and very varied with a short attention span. The Beatles were very young and they were thinking 'let's try out this and this'. It's a shopping trip of a composition – there's stuff from every aisle."
And, while the Beatles' music is its springboard, Morris says audience members don't need to be Beatles fans to enjoy the show.
"How someone feels personally about the Beatles' music might make a difference to the individual but my catchphrase is that 'this piece is for people who love or hate the Beatles' – I figure that covers a lot of people right there! And then there's some others in-between who I hope will come and see it.
"And they'll be surprised by it. If you are going for a tribute show with a cover band playing Beatles hits that you can sing along with – that's not going to happen. You can do that afterwards in a bar! This show is fully rooted in the interesting and surprising and radical music of this particular album but also that period of popular music in general.
"Nobody else would create this kind of treatment of this album except for me and Ethan and my company. It's one of a kind and I promise it's really fun and interesting and entertaining and beautiful – and a bunch of other things!"
Mark Morris is celebrated for his ground-breaking choreography in the dance community, and has collaborated with Pepperland composer Ethan Iverson for almost twenty years. He has run the Mark Morris Dance Group since 1980 and will soon celebrate 40 years with the company.

i've been busy this week scanning through my photos and putting together a series of must have flowering plants for my talk this Thursday and Friday at the Guildford Cathedral Flower Gala, - I must admit to being a little bit nervous. Apparently there will be thousands of visitors to this show, and over half of the parishes in the Guildford Diocese have put on a display of flowers. There will be up to 50 people who can attend my presentation, so I hope I don't get tongue tied.
I was lucky enough to be given a tour of the Cathedral and shown where each of the displays will be. As someone who's regularly been round the small marquees of flowers at Chelsea, Hampton Court and Malvern shows, and marvelled at how they get the flowers to show them selves off like that, I know i'm going to enjoy having a good nosey around before I give my talk.
I'm following on from the morning workshop about Clematis from one of my former colleagues at RHS Wisley, - David Jewell - no pressure on any front then!
I've had a great gardening day today, - ok so maybe the house is a mess, but I got lots done out in the garden, including a huge amount of seed sowing. i've been deadheading over the last few weeks, but in my "can't throw anything out that might be useful manner," i've been keeping loads of seedheads wrapped in Newspaper in the greenhouse. These are all nice and dry, so today i've been seed sowing frantically.
As some of the seeds are very small, - my first job was to sieve the multipurpose compost i'm sowing into. - Ideally i'd sow into a low fertiliser compost (a sowing and cutting mix), but they are very expensive, and usually only come in 15-20l bags, so I multibuy a fairly cheap and cheerful compost in 75l bags, and then sieve, add in nutrients or feed less dependant on what the plants or seeds need. Normally i'd use some homemade compost in my mix, - but this isn't good for seeds as it isn't sterilised, so may contain weed seeds. Even I can't always tell the seedlings from the weedlings, so best to sow these into a propitiatory growing media.
I used to buy a new load of seed trays each season, - but i've found now that reusing trays I got my bedding in, or using recycled fruit trays or meat trays (with holes put in the bottom) gets just as good results. They just need washing out first.
So what am I hoping for from my trays and trays of (currently) bare compost.
This fantastic yellow verbascum which has added height and colour to my front border was sown from seeds sent to me in a packet labelled Verbena Rigida. However I decided I liked them , I had lots germinate so I planted them liberally through the border in the sun. They are now rewarding me with amazing seed heads, If you'd like to grow this plant, and you're in the uk, just leave a comment on this blog, and i'll send you some seeds.
it's the middle of September already, and today has been a really gloomy wet day, - so it's a good job I got my camera out yesterday to record what's flowering in my garden.
The Rudbeckia Goldstrum is still in full colour, and the Heleniums are now being shown off by the purple of the Aster. The Rose is having a second flush of flowers and the Verbena bonariensis is still doing its thing.
last week after 8 weeks of school holidays, the topic of conversation in the playground, was... The Weather?, Activities that kept our children out of mischief? Beaches that were safe to lie on while our children played, - no.. the topic of conversation was tomatoes.- The plant sale that our parents association ran in May which I contributed rather a lot of seedlings to, meant that other parents (and their offspring) had grown tomatoes for the first time. The overwhelming consensus was that homegrown tomatoes tasted better, were sweeter, and were easy to grow, - well i've know that for years, but it's great to know others share my view.
This year I've grown 5 different types of tomatoes, - this first photo is of the larges type, Alicante. It's an old variety, and has grown really well, - it's put up with me not watering it every day, and has produced 3 really big vines of tomatoes, plus a few extra. An extra bonus is that they've stayed on the plants for a long time ripening, so have been really juicy when i've picked them, - great for pasta sauce.
I manage to spot Pest and Disease on plants wherever I go, and this mottled Banana plant leaf was unfortunately in a "hot" border that my parents have in their garden. It was put in at the beginning of the year, and hasn't thrived and grown, unlike the Cannas at the other end of the bed, and the reason is that the mottling between the leaves and the small patches of white are indicative of red spider mite.
This most likely arrived with the plant, as a tropical variety is likely to have been grown on in a nursery greenhouse at the beginning of the year.

Italy's new "Green Pass" rules impact international truck drivers
October 6, 2021 by Graham Anderson
ESTA has been told that from October 15, all people working in both public and private sectors in Italy will have to show a "Green Pass" – or 3G certificate – to gain access to workplaces.
Truck drivers entering company premises are also understood to be covered by the new regulations and will have to present a "Green Pass" for loading and unloading at Italian companies. Foreign drivers are covered by the new rules as well.
The decision was published in an Italian government decree on September 21 and news was confirmed to ESTA by Italian association member ANNA.
The "Green Pass" is essentially the same as the European Union's anti-Covid certificate and shows whether someone has been vaccinated against Covid19 or has recovered from the disease. It also shows whether a negative corona test (antigen or PCR test) has been carried out in the past 48 hours.
Italian transport companies and associations are waiting for further clarification from the Italian government and the Ministry of Transport.
At the time of writing, it is understood that no changes are currently planned to the country's entry requirements, so international drivers still do not have to present a "Green Pass" when entering Italy.

Plant-based dog food company closes funding round at $1.01 million
Source: THE PACK
LONDON — Plant-based pet food startup THE PACK recently closed its seed funding round, receiving £835,000 ($1.01 million USD) in investments. The round was held through Vevolution, a global vegan investment platform, which helped THE PACK secure £270,000 ($328,291 USD) for its seed round.
The funding round received participation from Scelta Mycofriends B.V., Veg Capital, Kale United, Akoleo, Silicon Valley VC Accel, Leap Ventures and the Mars Petcare Companion Fund, as well as angel investors Simon Newstead, Alicia Robb, Simon Day, Victoria Betoeski and Leo Groenewegen. THE PACK was one of two pet nutrition startups selected to participate in Leap Venture Studio's 2021 accelerator program.
"Mars Petcare is dedicated to working on solutions that improve the health and wellbeing of pets, people and the planet," said Rachel Sheppard, director of Mars Petcare's accelerator program. "Alternative protein diets for our pets will play a key role in helping us achieve a healthier planet in the future. Therefore, we are so proud to invest in companies like THE PACK through our Leap Venture Studio program — a seed-stage accelerator program in partnership with Michelson Found Animals and R/GA Ventures."
Founded in 2022, THE PACK offers plant-based dog food directly to consumers. The company's dog food is available in three recipes: No-Moo Ragu, No-Fishy Dishy and No-Cluck Casserole. THE PACK's formulas are developed using expertise from animal nutritionists and pet food technologists.
According to Vevolution, the global alternative protein space within the pet food market is predicted to reach $57.4 billion by 2023. THE PACK hopes to cash in on this growing segment, using an innovative approach that has led the company to launch the world's first plant-based meat stew wet dog food formula, according to THE PACK.
"We are obsessed with helping dogs be healthy and thrive on plant-diets," said Judy Nadel, co-founder of THE PACK. "For us this means focusing on great nutrition from a balanced source of plant-based proteins. We started this company to give dog parents better choices than what existed before. We have chosen a solution focused on taste and high-quality nutrition, as we believe this is the approach that will lead to healthy dogs and long term success for the business."
THE PACK plans to use its seed funding to launch its first nutritionally complete oven-baked dried dog food in 2023.

Our investment philosophy focuses on long-term capital preservation after inflation and costs. This makes it necessary to analyse the key risks, monitor major trends and developments and compile a bundle of measures developed on the basis of such observations to preserve your capital.
Besides risks that might result from political upheaval such as wars, expropriation or national bankruptcy, inflation and deflation in particular are elementary risks whose impact on the value of assets can be devastating.
In our experience, major, long-term macro-economic developments with considerable influence on the value of assets cannot be ignored. Major issues such as scarce resources, climate change, demographic changes and the growing economic and political influence of emerging economies can have a decisive impact on the long-term development of assets.
Past experience has shown that in spite of every in-depth analysis, forecasts always involve some uncertainty which puts the preservation of capital at risk if the assets are not diversified. Therefore, as part of the basic allocation the assets are structured in such a way that minimal portions of the overall assets are able to counter the elementary risks of inflation and deflation. We allocate the remaining portion tactically. As a result, the majority is invested in line with the expected scenario. At the same time, the principle of minimum allocation takes the uncertainty of forecasts into account.
Additionally, a portion of the assets is invested in such a way that it profits from the development of the key megatrends. This is the only way to prevent the capital from slowly depreciating. Additionally, we adhere to the following four basic requirements for long-term capital retention in all market phases: Diversification, low debt, fungibility and a focus on quality.
By building up efficient, highly diversified portfolios, we are able to forego paying 'insurance premiums' which would otherwise accrue on a product level as part of hedging instruments. As a result, the performance of our portfolios is better in the long term despite similar volatility.
Debt is limited to around 20% of the total assets. However, the leverage must remain limited on the level of the overall assets, as the assets would otherwise be at risk of being destroyed. For example, we rely on debt in real estate projects in order to optimise the portfolio structure of our client.
We see fungibility as another key aspect of preserving capital: in order to always be able to react appropriately to changes on the capital markets or personal situations, around 50% of the assets should be invested in fungible forms of investment such as highly liquid government bonds and shares with a high market capitalisation.
The preservation of capital also means a high focus on quality: approximately 80% of the investments should be made with a focus on quality, as in times of crisis a lack of quality in shares, real estate and certain bond segments has a negative impact on the goal of preserving capital.

Title of the project: "Raising Awareness in Global Youth"
Description of the project: Raising Awareness in Global Youth is a project by InterCollege.
The United Nations (hereafter UN), as an intergovernmental organization that promotes international co-operation, is an essential element to address solutions to the problem. For instance, the development of international law, one of the primary goals of the UN, is a tool that can be used to commit all nations in order to solve the migration crisis.
Nevertheless, the UN is a very big organization with 193 member states and 6 major organs. It is difficult to have a clear understanding of the UN due to its complexity and, in terms of its structure, is a very divided organization. As a result many young people have a lack of awareness of different global processes. Related to the refugees issue in Europe, there is a problem of conceptualization of the term 'refugee' among youth who wrongly consider them as migrants and as a problem, a risk to their country. Therefore, this project was formed in order to develop the ability of youth leaders/workers to recognize the importance of the UN and give them tools to spread the knowledge and educate young people to participate more actively in UN issues, as well as show more empathy and solidarity with the globalised world.
1. To provide deep knowledge and understanding to youth leaders about UN and its organization.
2.To give the participants facilitation skills techniques and tools to promote youth inclusiveness in UN affairs among young people in their local communities.
3. To promote European cooperation in the field of youth work, specifically youth social inclusion, solidarity and participation.
To accomplish the objectives of the project we propose two non-formal training courses for youth leaders: (1) an UN inside out training course, and (2) a training course on facilitation skills techniques. The first training course is concerned with the UN its organization, history and mission. The second activity aims to improve the skills and provide tools to youth workers to pass on the information to other youths.
Partner sought: 4 more partners from Erasmus+: Youth in Action Programme countries, Partner Countries Neighbouring the EU.

This is my first time to link up with Jen at Conversion Diary!
I cannot say enough good things about it. It is absolutely beautiful and so real. Campbell draws on the experiences of certain saints to help her through life's challenges. It has a lesson for all in its depth, honesty and conviction.
if we head to the cabin for a little R&R.
Our dog Cocoa, who we got when Carter was just about a month old, has vanished. He's been gone for about two weeks. While I'm not the biggest animal person, I miss him.
Any of you NFPers out there heard of this drug: Lysteda? I've been told that it serves to treat those with heavy/painful periods without the use of hormonal contraceptives. May be a blessing!
Carter and I are planning to make these next week for our weekly baking venture!
I know I've mentioned this before, but I can't get enough of Brother Francis. These little 25 minute animations are amazing!
I just finished that book last night!! I love it too!!
Ahh, this book sounds amazing!! I have got to read it for sure!
Yay for some R&R for you! Yay!


If it comes to neonates, parenting relies on secure and convenient strollers and baby carriages for their baby, but they also want a system that is uncomplicated and straightforward for them to use. Because we believe this is very important, we have put together a number of stroller packs to give you the versatility to get along with your baby.
Because the best way for newborn babies to get around is to be guided evenly, we have combined our beloved baby carriages with carry bags to give our baby carriers to their mother and father. We' ve also included baby seat kits so you can take your baby with you from the comfort of your own home to the stroller without bothering him.
Switching between stroller, stroller and travelling system is easy and allows you to get more out of your stroller. Among our most beloved stroller packages are the Uppababy Vista stroller package, the Bugaboo Cameleon complete package for pushchairs and much more.

2013 has already become one of those years I will never forget again. Partly because I achieved what was very long a dream of mine: Make a trip to San Francisco, attend the WWDC and also visit the "mothership", the Apple headquarter in Cupertino.
I'm very glad that I had the chance to do all this, and I also want to thank everyone who helped to make this possible.
