#Catherinette can still become synonymous with Lesbian#also I need to know what you've discovered in regards to Saint Nick and Saint Catherine#are there any connections????? via @shitpostingfromthebarricade

I really want to be a catherinette. But I guess I'd have to become catholic first and tbh I've been to church (for certain family events) unbaptized a couple of times and it's super funny cause the priest always talks like everyone there is baptized and I feel like a spy. It's great and I don't wanna lose that

Also I hate the catholic church but I will admit they did kinda go off with the saints. I love saints and I wish they had nothing to do with catholicism. Saint Catherine (of Alexandria, not to be confused with st Catherine of Siena) specifically I recommend people look up because she's awesome, although the historical figure probably didn't exist the story itself is great, and as far as saints go she probably had a big following given how many things she is the patron saint of. The wheel? Children? Unmarried women? I wanted to know if she had anything to do with Fantine or Cosette or parallels but as far as I can tell, not really? She is known as a great scholar who is pure and also incredibly good at rhetoric. So she was the one probably in charge of protecting Cosette and Fantine, and that's it as far as I can tell.

The thing about Saint Nick and Valjean: I think it's clear that Valjean has a lot of catholic associations with jesus and etc but the fact that he meets cosette on christmas, and when he was mayor he broke into people's houses to leave them money and was an unmarried recluse, who was generally beloved by all, and made dolls for children and gave coins away to all the little boys who he met. Leaving a coin in Cosette's shoe. That's all Saint Nicholas. And in my research to find out more about the Saint Catherine feast I discovered there are some events that merge the two together and call it 'the feast of Catherine and Nicholas' and they allow unmarried young men to wear silly hats as well. Also in all the photos in color I found the hats were yellow and green, just to make it clear. Idk if this is a Thing or if it was just that one event that did that.

So no, I don't think it's a coincidence that Cosette leaves Montfermeuil with Catherine in one hand and Saint Nicholas on the other. They're the saint of unmarried men and the saint of unmarried women and girls, and they are definitely widespread enough that any catholics reading the book would probably see that right away in 1862, these are some of the most popular saints there are.

Ok last thing, St Catherine is the patron saint of: Unmarried girls; apologists; craftsmen who work with a wheel (potters, spinners); archivists; dying people; educators; girls; jurists; knife sharpeners; lawyers; librarians; libraries; maidens; mechanics; millers; milliners; nurses; philosophers; preachers; scholars; schoolchildren; scribes; secretaries; spinsters; stenographers; students; tanners; theologians; University of Paris; haberdashers; wheelwrights; a couple of colleges and a lot of places in the Philippines, Brazil, Malta, Germany etc you get the idea

OET Exam Eligibility 2024

OET Exam 2024 Eligibility Criteria

In order to register for the Occupational English Test exam, candidates who wish to take the test must strictly adhere to the OET eligibility requirements.

OET Eligibility: Age Requirements

The OET Exam 2024 governing body, CBLA, has not specified an upper age limit. Candidates who wish to take the OET exam are not limited by age. Therefore, candidates who wish to travel to a country where OET is accepted must register for the exam on the OET website, which is located at https://www.occupationalenglishtest.org/book-oet/.

OET Eligibility: Education Qualification

Once more, CBLA has not specified any particular educational prerequisites that a candidate must meet in order to sit for the OET Exam. Therefore, the student qualifies for the OET as long as he wants to work in the healthcare industry. Applicants should be aware that healthcare professionals in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Maldives, Malta, Namibia, New Zealand, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and the United States of America accept the OET exam.

OET 2024 Eligibility for Nurses

OET exam eligibility for nurses:As previously said, OET results are accepted by nations for nurses wishing to work in the medical field. There is some uncertainty over a nurse’s eligibility for OET. The OET tests, which were created especially for healthcare professionals, include a significant amount of material related to nursing. It is necessary for nurses to receive a B in the OET Speaking, Reading, and Listening subtests and a C+ in Writing in order to work in the healthcare industry. To become authorised nurses in a foreign nation, nurses must receive a minimum score of 350 out of 500. Nurses seeking precise OET score requirements must first review the official website’s qualification standards before taking the exam and receiving their score.

If you are preparing for OET and choosing a career in OET .

There was some interest in the introduction to the William the Antichrist book that came with the Ineffable Edition of the Definitive Good Omens, so here are the pictures of that. As with the rest of my posts on the book’s contents, I’ve provided a transcript below the cut.

I was twenty-six. I had just finished writing Don’t Panic!

               The Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy Companion. There was something comfortable about the style I was writing it in: I wasn’t trying to pastiche Douglas Adams, but I was trying to write in a style I thought of as ‘classic English humour’ – P. G. Wodehouse was in there, and so were Alan Coren, Richmal Crompton and Stella Gibbons, Caryl Brahms and S.J. Simon, and many others. And by the end of the book, in the spring of 1987, I felt comfortable writing in that style.

 In the summer of 1987, several odd ideas came together: the film The Omen; a scene in Christopher Marlowe’s The Jew of Malta; Richmal Crompton’s Just William books. I found myself imagining a book called William the Antichrist, in which a hapless demon was going to be responsible for swapping the wrong baby over, and the son of the US Ambassador would be completely undemonic, while William Brown would grow up to be the Antichrist, and the demon would need to stop him ending the world. The unfortunate demon, whom I called Crawleigh, because Crawley was a nearby town with an unfortunate name, would have to sort it all out as best he could.

 It felt like a story with legs.

 I wrote an opening. It was 5,000 words long, and I sent it to several friends to take a look at, and one of those friends was Terry Pratchett.

 And then, in October 1987, a hurricane hit England, and in its aftermath I plotted the first eight issues of a monthly comic called Sandman, and pitched it to DC Comics as soon as the power went back on. They said yes.

 My life was swept up by a whirlwind of work: I was writing Sandman, and pretty soon afterwards I was also writing The Books of Magic. William the Antichrist was going to have to wait until The Books of Magic was done, before I could get back to it.

 In the middle of 1988, Terry Pratchett called. ‘Are you doing anything with that thing you sent me?’ he asked. l told him that, no, I wasn’t. ‘Well,’ he said, ‘Sell me the idea, or let’s write it together. I know what happens next.’

 ‘Let’s write it together,’ I said.

 So we did. Terry took the 5,000 words, and rewrote them, calling me to tell me what he was doing and what he was planning to do. The biggest thing he was going to do, he told me, was split the hapless demon into two characters – a would-be-cool demon in dark glasses (which was, I think, Terry’s way of making fun of me, a never-actually- cool journalist in dark glasses) who had renamed himself Crowley, and a rare-book dealer and angel called Aziraphale, who would embody all the English awkwardness that either

 of us could conceive.

 Once he‘d done that (bringing us the Chattering Order of Saint Beryl on the way, to replace the nurses that I’d invented) he sent his new version to me to read, and then we began to plot. There was a lot of plotting. And there was a lot of writing and rewriting and re-rewriting. Neither of us was precious about our words, so we cheerfully footnoted each other, adding in jokes or lines if we thought the work would be better for them.

 There were very long daily phone calls. There were floppy disks that were posted back and forth weekly.

 Terry had written a dozen novels by that point, but this was my first. My books to this point had been non-fiction. I learned so much from him. I felt like an apprentice to a medieval guild master, enjoying Terry’s confidence that, even if we didn’t know how the plot would sort out, we were certain that it would sort out. And it did.

 We enjoyed the writing-together process, enough that when it was done we plotted a sequel to the book we had written, and a book about a serial killer who killed serial killers (we didn’t write it, and I was pleased, some years on, to see the Dexter books, as it meant that the Universe hadn’t wasted the idea on us).

 William the Antichrist XXX being finished, we reached out to the Richmal Crompton estate to see if they’d countenance the book being published with their characters. They didn’t reply, and we were already talking about some of the fun

 things we could do to the characters if we weren’t stuck with William Brown’s world – Adam’s second in command could be female, for a start – so our second draft of the book formerly known as William the Antichrist, which was mostly an attempt to make it look like we knew what we were doing all along, and not just filing off the serial numbers and doing a Find and Replace to change William to Adam (although we did that, too, resulting in Gollancz’s copy editor asking who composer Vaughan Adams was). Then we just had to title it – I suggested Good Omens, and Terry suggested The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, so we compromised, as we usually did, and used both of them.

 Rereading my Very First Draft here, I’m struck by a number of things. The first is how much of an early pencil sketch it was by a young man who had sold at most half a dozen short stories. And the second is how much Terry, wisely, changed about it, and how much he left the same. Once he had changed my first 5,000 words into our first 10,000 words, the book had a voice, and it kept that voice until the end.

 When we finished the book we estimated that the words were 60% Terry’s and 40% mine, and the plot, such as it was, was entirely ours.

 Nobody has seen this original opening before. Not since I sent it to half a dozen friends in 1987, anyway.

 I’m so glad one of them was Terry.

 He told people in interviews that he didn’t collaborate well, but I look back on the writing of Good Omens with nothing but joy. It was an education.
