Q: Visualizing a Calabi Yau I would like to understand how I can visualize the quintic threefold
$$ z_1^5 + z_2^5 + z_3^5 + z_4^5 +z_5^5 - 5\psi z_1z_2z_3z_4z_5 = 0$$
For a similar problem, Hanson proposes the following:

These images show equivalent renderings of a 2D cross-section of the
  6D manifold embedded in CP4 described in string theory calculations by
  the homogeneous equation in five complex variables:  $$ z_1^5 + z_2^5 + z_3^5 + z_4^5 +z_5^5 = 0$$
  The surface is computed by assuming that some pair of
  complex inhomogenous variables, say $z_3/z_5$ and $z_4/z_5$, are constant
  (thus defining a 2-manifold slice of the 6-manifold), normalizing the
  resulting inhomogeneous equations a second time, and plotting the
  solutions to $z_1^5 + z_2^5 = 1$  The resulting surface is embedded in 4D
  and projected to 3D using Mathematica (left image)

Let me at least take Hanson's quintic, and try to understand. I first put the equation in inhomogenous form, assuming $z_5 \neq 0$:
$$ (z_1/z_5)^5 + (z_2/z_5)^5 + (z_3/z_5)^5 + (z_4/z_5)^5 + 1 = 0$$
then

$z_3/z_5$ and $z_4/z_5$, are constant

and I'll assume equal to $1$. So:
$$ (z_1/z_5)^5 + (z_2/z_5)^5 + 3 = 0$$
then

normalizing the resulting inhomogeneous equations a second time,

I guess this just means that we let $z_5=1$ :
$$ z_1^5 + z_2^5 + 3 = 0$$

and plotting the
  solutions to $z_1^5 + z_2^5 = 1$

I guess he just had different values for $z_3/z_5$ and $z_4/z_5$ - right? Or did I misunderstand ?

The resulting surface is embedded in 4D and projected to 3D

what does that projection mean ? I just randomly set one of my 4D components (say, I set the imaginary component of $z_2$ to $\alpha$) ? Is-there something more fancy, or is-there something I misunderstood earlier in my reasoning ?
Addendum Even doing so, this would result in two algebraic equations to solve (one for the real part, one for the imaginary part) : why would this define a surface embedded in 3D rather than a curve ?
Thanks!

A: The surface Hanson visualized is a three-dimensional object in a two-dimensional complex space consisting of four real dimensions. Don't think of it as separate real and imaginary parts, just four variables with one constraint to define the surface.
The renormalization $ z_5=(-1/3)^{1/5} $ will produce Hanson's equation from what you have. Then he chooses three variables for the projection, in his case the two real parts and a linear combination of the imaginary parts. The fourth variable, a linearly independent combination of imaginary parts, is ignored. This is an orthogonal projection, like how the sun casts shadows when directly overhead.
As to why the two images on Hanson's website look different, it's because one is rotated relative to the other. You can see that in a fully interactive visualization like the one here.

Q: Class containing collection of itself Thank you for checking this post.
I need help defining a class/data structure for following situation.
The app allows user to graphically create e.g. library structure. I.e.
User can create a shelf, which contains some books and it can contain more shelves and so on.
Basically, Shelf class, and then it contains some properties and a collection of Shelf objects. is this legal (object containing collection of itself)?
Will really appreciate if someone can point me right direction on the type of data structure that will work.

A:
is this legal (object containing collection of itself)?

Sure. Every tree structure you've ever worked with has a "Node" that itself has a collection of "Node" - A Windows Forms Control has a Controls property that is a collection of Control. XML document object models have the same notion of nodes that have nodes that have nodes...
If it makes sense to you for any one of your Shelves to contain a mix of Books and other Shelves then go for it.. But do consider carefully what benefits it brings you to have a tree of shelves with books potentially spread all throughout it..

Alice Barbier Uden (1939-2019)
I won't try to eulogize Alice Uden. Her life sentence ended this week when she died at age 80, still being punished for one of the four—probably five—murders she either committed herself or took part in carrying out.
Children and grandchildren know what she did, and they are horrified. They also remember her as a grandmother who liked to garden and cook, and teach her grandchildren those things. Never underestimate the memories a grandparent can leave, even a murderous one.
"Alice & Gerald: A Homicidal Love Story" cover art; above, Alice Uden's prison mug shot
I wrote a book about Alice and her husband Gerald. They killed their victims, bought a farm, and lived happily ever after while detectives chased them for almost 40 years. When she died, several reporters called me and asked for a comment. It forced me to reflect on the words one chooses when speaking of the dead who, in this case, was uncommonly evil but still human. I wrote a whole book—about 95,000 words—about the evil part, and I struggled to find even a half dozen words about the human part.
Last night, I went back to another description of Alice. It was written to me by Richard Walter, one of the nation's foremost forensic psychologists and a founder of the famous Vidocq Society. He consulted on the Udens' case for detectives, and then for me during the writing of "Alice & Gerald: A Homicidal Love Story."
What he said isn't kind, but is fitting for a dead killer:
The Udens exemplify the human ability of not living up to their potential. In fact, by choice and decision, to be evil and exploitative. That said, betwixt the two, Alice, by far is more sinister and coldly ruthless to the core. For she, like a scorpion, would willingly kill all, including self, who would challenge her control and power. As for Gerald, the spineless and feckless sponge creation was/is without decency, who aided in killing his own children…because she told him to do so! Ah, you may ask, why did he confess? The answer is to protect his mentor.
I don't celebrate the death of any human being, but neither will I waste much time mourning this one.
Bestselling crime writer Ron Franscell is the author of "Alice & Gerald: A Homicidal Love Story," published in April by New York publisher Prometheus Books.

The sign above would be illegal today under the Race Relations Act. Under last year's Equality Act, it would also be illegal to deny goods and services to people on the basis of their faith.
After having won this legal protection, why then are religious groups turning round and seeking to deny protection from this type of discrimination to lesbians and gays?
People who would be horrified by racist discrimination or discrimination against a person because of their religion suddenly become all Libertarian when it comes to lesbians and gays. "Why should a hotelier have to go against his conscience and provide a room to a gay couple?" they ask.
"Why should a hotelier have to provide a room to a black couple?" you might ask by means of reply. "That's different!" they'll say.
Why is it different?
Let's be honest. If a homeless man was thrown out of a shelter because he said he was a reborn Christian there would be outrage. Ditto if a women wearing a hijab was told she wasn't welcome on a bus. Religious groups would likely call for prosecutions and they would get them because the law is on their side.
But now they're rallying in Wesminster to be allowed to turn away gays and lesbians.
The hypocrisy stinks.
By all means, let them make the faux-Libertarian argument. I'll go along with the argument that private businesses should be free to discriminate, but (and this is a big BUT) only if they will concede that businesses can be free to discriminate against them. If these religious groups campaign to sacrifice their rights and protections under the law in return for the right to discriminate against gays, then I'm willing to listen.
The campaign by these religious groups has been characterised by a litany of lies and misinformation. They have claimed that schools will be forced to teach gay sex and promote homosexuality, they have claimed that a family-run B&B would have to accept a transsexual couple under their roof, and they have claimed that a Christian-run printing works would be forced to print gay porn.
All false.
Lord Rooker gave answers to all these claims in the House of Lords.
"It would be entirely within the spirit of the regulations for a printing shop run by a Christian to refuse to print fliers promoting gay sex, so long as that printer also refused to print fliers promoting heterosexual sex outside the realm of marriage," said Lord Rooker. "The regulations are not concerned with what is taught in schools. That is rightly a matter for the Department of Education, Northern Ireland," he siad.
He also confirmed that it was not the case that a B&B proprietor would be forced to accept a transsexual couple. In any event, the Bill doesn't cover transsexuals and there are exemptions for the owners of small B&Bs.
Undeterred, the religious lobby continues to peddle these falsehoods, including a Church of England Bishop who reitterated these bogus claims on Sky News at 11:30 this morning.
Other commentators have said that the issues are "complex". They are not. It boils down to this: If it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, faith, gender, disability, national or ethnic origin and so forth, then it must also be illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. Either all groups must be protected or none.
What is certain is that the ring-leaders of this Nuremburg-style rally this evening do not have the suport of the religious mainstream. Leading evangelical Christian service agency, Faithworks, has given its backing to the proposed legislation. Christian think tank Ekklesia says that the "panic and anxiety" over the legislation is a symptom of "the demise of Christendom".
"The idea that all or even the majority of Christians support the extreme claims and views of many opponents of the fair and reasonable Sexual Orientation Regulations is false", says Ekklesia
The Muslim Council of Britain has distanced itself from one of the march organisers, Dr Majid Katme, who is an MCB committee member, saying his participation was "political and personal" and offered no comment of its own when interviewed by PlanetOut.com.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews issued a statement last night saying that their support for the rally had been misrepresented in The Daily Mail. They denied any participation or support for the rally and reitterated their anti-discrimination policy.
"The Board of Deputies opposes discrimination on any grounds and recognises that the rights of those within our community and in wider society should not be infringed on the grounds of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion conviction or for any other similar reason," said the Board of Deputies in their statement.
So, at the end of the day, what we have here is a group of very motivated and very vocal religious extremists displaying hypocrisy of the highest order and shamelessly lying in an attempt to get their own way.
Polly Toynbee has more on the story in today's Guardian.

The salt consumed today is made by several large industrial companies. The same salt is, for both, industrial use, and human consumption. 93% of their production goes for industrial purposes, 7% for food use. The process is started with salt, which is mined from large underground salt deposits that were left behind when the inland seas evaporated millenniums ago. Seawater, is also used for the production of salt which is then refined. This is where the problems begin, at least in terms of your health. The salt is refined to remove impurities, making it more attractive and uniform in appearance, and to extract most of the mineral elements. When the refining process is over the salt looks great, flows more easily out of your saltshaker, but 82 of the 84 trace elements have been extracted.
This is why natural unrefined sea salt is so good for us! It comes in "precise dosages" that are perfectly matched to the mineral composition of our body. The minerals are in an organic form that is completely absorbable by our body, and you cannot take an excess dosage since all salt in excess of your needs is naturally expelled from your body.


Kampala, 24th/ March/2016; Eng. Abraham Byandala, a member of Parliament for Katikamu North Constituency and currently a Minister without Portfolio in the Ugandan government is under fire for assaulting a government-owned Bukedde Television journalist, Judith Naluggwa. He punched her on the stomach as she covered a corruption related story at the Anti-Corruption Court in Kampala.
Byandala, is accused of misusing public funds amounting to Uganda Shillings 24Billion allocated for the construction of the Mukono-Kyetume-Katosi road when he was the Works and Transport Minister. He was appearing at the Anti-Corruption court in Kampala for the hearing of the case.
"He confronted me as he left court. He asked why I was filming him. He punched me on the stomach and scratched my left hand before he walked away. All this happened in full view of journalists and the people at the Court." Judith told HRNJ-Uganda.
Before this incident, Byandala is reported to have had a bitter exchange of words with an NTV journalist inside court for filming him. The minister reportedly tried to dodge being filmed by hiding his face in court.
Judith has since opened up a case of assault at Jinja Road Police station.
"HRNJ-Uganda has noted with deep concern politicians who use their political muscles to attack journalists. It is so disheartening for a government minister to assault a journalist at the court premises while she was performing her duties. We call upon the Uganda Police Force to thoroughly and expeditiously investigate this matter to ensure that Byandala faces the law." said HRNJ-Uganda Legal officer, Diana Nandudu.

Q: Rangy: How to createCssClassApplier with dynamic elementProperties my code:
var cssApplier;
        window.onload = function () {
            rangy.init();
            cssApplier = rangy.createCssClassApplier("highlight", {
                ignoreWhiteSpace: true,
                elementTagName: "span",
                elementProperties: {
                    id: new Date()
                }
            })
        };

But when i call
cssApplier.applyToSelection();

It always render a span with the same id property, How can i set id property dynamic?

A: new Date() is evaluated just once at the point at which you call rangy.createCssClassApplier(). The only way you could generate a new id for each element created would be if Rangy provided means of specifying a callback every time it creates a new element, which it currently does not. However, this is something I've been considering adding anyway. I've added an issue to the Rangy issue tracker:
https://github.com/timdown/rangy/issues/143
UPDATE
You can do this now in Rangy 1.3 by passing onElementCreate in the options object:
var id = 0;
var applier = rangy.createApplier("someClass", {
    onElementCreate: function(el) {
        el.id = "rangySpan_" + (id++);
    }
});

The fifth generation of the French bestseller releases its prices for France.
All-new Renault Clio's starting price is €14,100 (inc. VAT) for the Life SCe 65 version.
Orders open in France from April 2, 2019.
The All-new Renault Clio has revealed its prices for France with an even more attractive entry offer. It starts at €14,100 inc. VAT with the SCe 65 engine. Orders are now open in France for the TCe and Blue dCi engines.
Presented during the last Geneva Motor Show, the most popular French car has undergone an interior and exterior makeover and offers technology never seen before in its market segment. New Clio is thus available in five trim levels: Life, Zen, Intens and, heading the range, the R.S.Line and Initiale Paris trims, two complementary offers.
Passive safety is also well covered : six airbags, Seat Belt Warning with presence detection for each of the 5 seats, thin comma-shaped head-rests with whiplash protection function, i-size ISOFIX on the rear side seats and front passenger one.
The Zen trim level adds to the Life trim list : the Easy Link with the 7" screen (Apple Car Play and Android Auto compatible), manual air conditioning, 16" Design Rims.
Easy Link 7'' multimedia system with radio and touch screen navigation, compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay - Bluetooth, 2 USB and 1 auxiliary plugs.
The New Clio R.S. Line (formerly called G.T. Line) expresses the sportiness of Renault Sport through its exterior and interior style: F1 blade at the front, wing marking, 17" Magny-Cours alloy wheel rims, carbon-look inserts inside, RS punched leather steering wheel, aluminium pedals.
As for the New Clio Initiale Paris, it offers a new, highly elegant stylistic interpretation of this now well-known version in the Renault range. On the outside, it is distinguished by a specific starry grille, Gloss Black mirrors, a shark antenna and 17" Initiale Paris alloy wheel rims. Inside, the atmosphere is particularly refined with its heated padded leather seats. To finish, it also offers the best of technology with its spectacular 9.3" central screen (the largest in the category), the brand-new Bose Sound System, the 360° camera and blind spot detection.
While for nearly 30 years the Clio has been able to conquer the hearts of the French, the New Clio is firmly future-looking, offering a wide public, a versatile and technological offering.

I'm looking for old family photos to reduce and hang on the wall. While browsing my hard drive I came across this picture from an old Christmas card my mother's family sent out when my mom was probably seven or eight (1949 or 1950). Too cool to see my uncles as kids and be able to match the adult face with the little kid face. And damn but my grandpa was good looking.
Wow...this is totally cool! Must be wonderful having all these pics. These are things one misses out with no family.
Very nifty and yes he is very good looking.


The last of a series of public meetings on Donegal's suicide prevention strategy takes place tonight in Donegal town.
The meeting, at 6.45pm in the Donegal Family Resource Centre, Upper Main Street, has been organised by the HSE so that members of the public can have their say before the new strategy is drawn up.
A number of health, community and voluntary groups are also involved in the development of the action plan.
Anne Sheridan, Suicide Resource Officer for the HSE explained. "The National Office for Suicide Prevention (NOSP) is currently working to develop a national suicide prevention framework on behalf of the Department of Health. This will build on prevention measures and reduce the risk factors for suicidal behaviour. We are working alongside the NOSP to prepare our own local action plan specifically for Donegal. There are a number of actions that will be coordinated at a national level which will support what we decide to do locally.
Maire O'Leary, HSE Social Inclusion Manager, who is involved in the local initiative, added: "We believe that suicide prevention is everyone's business and we all need to be aware of what we can do individually and as part of our community to promote mental health and reduce suicide.
Information postcards have also been distributed to health centres, libraries, Family Resource Centres and council Public Service Centres and other locations, with two simple survey questions, and there is also an online survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/donegalsuicideprevention for anyone who hasn't been able to make it to one of the meetings.
Your input could make the difference to your local community, family and friends.

From Trieste to Poreč on the former railway line
The former narrow-gauge track (760 mm in width) between Trieste and Poreč, which operated from 1902 to 1935, was named after the word Parenzo – Italian name of the town of Poreč, therefore being also called Porečanka. It represented a connection of the hinterland with the coastal places and strongly contributed to the Istrian economic development. The railway line stopped operating in 1935, but despite operating only for 33 years, it left an indelible mark in the whole area. On the 100th anniversary of the opening of the railway track, an initiative started to restore this unique railway line, which at the beginning of the 20th century connected people and nations. Today it represents a popular cycling and hiking path.

1st Metatarsal-Phalangeal (MTP) Joint Sprain
AKA Turf Toe
Turf toe is an injury to the big toe or the surrounding ligaments that gets its name for the artificial turf used on many American football fields. Turf is cheaper to maintain, but riskier to the players because it can become so slick in rain or snow. As such, it's common for football players to slip and hyperextend their big toe, often causing the toe to sprain as a result.
Although the injury is named after this high-risk group, turf toe, or a sprain to the big toe, is also common in other sports, like wrestling, dance, and basketball. This sprain can occur when the metatarsophalangeal joint — that is, the joint at the base of your big toe — gets overloaded in the hyper-dorsiflexion position.
For instance, in football or wrestling, the toe might bend backwards suddenly from one player landing on another's heel. Sudden stops and pivots in a game like basketball might cause the body weight to shift while the toe is still planted, leading to strain. Turf toe can also become a chronic condition from regular running and jumping with flexible shoes.
Symptoms of turf toe often develop gradually, and can include swelling, pain, and stiffness in the area. In more severe cases, patients might have limited mobility and high instability
When we conduct an examination for turf toe at MOTUS, we'll be looking at localized details as well as the functionality of the rest of the body. Our goal is not just to make your foot feel better and then send you home. We want to help you learn the safest, most productive movements you can have, in order to protect you from future injuries and enhance your overall performance.
Evaluation starts by looking at the sensitivity, stability, and flexibility of the metatarsophalangeal joint. There are several areas that could be affected by turf toe, including the sesamoids bones at the front of the foot, the collateral ligaments that connect to the toe bones, and the plantar plate which keeps the toe from bending too far upwards. Your physical therapist will conduct a thorough physical examination, and will also ask you about your regular physical activity.
At MOTUS, we develop a unique treatment plan for each individual based on their lifestyle and their body's biomechanics. We can generally help patients with Grade 1 injuries with simple treatments like ice and compression and gradual strengthening exercises. Grade 2 injuries may need up to two weeks before they can return to activity. These cases could benefit from treatments like Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy to help encourage healing. The most severe cases fall into Grade 3, and may need up to two months to heal.

HBO Decides That What We Really Need is Yet More Rape
May 21, 2015 Hawksmoor & Fox	2 Comments
from an editor: this opinion piece, co-written by two new AGR authors Dylan Fox and C.A. Hawksmoor, contains spoilers for both the Game of Thrones HBO series and the A Song of Ice and Fire books by George R. R. Martin as well as discussion of sexual violence.
Dylan Fox
So, let's talk about rape.
What do we learn about Ramsey? That he's not a nice person? I kinda already had that impression, what with spending an entire season torturing Theon and flaying people alive.
But first, lets talk about Sansa Stark. Sansa's always been my least-favourite Stark. She's introduced as the typical "medieval" girl, aspiring to be a wife and mother to beautiful blonde babies. When her betrothed betrays and kills her father, her oldest brother declares himself King and his lands independent and starts a civil war. Her younger brother supercrips his way up to the Wall and beyond in an epic quest to become a mystical tree. Her younger sister travels Westeros with a variety of protectors and captors, becoming one of the hardest and most heartless killers in the series. And Sansa spends three seasons being Joffrey and Cersei's chew toy, displaying all the backbone, cunning, and agency of a piece of wet tissue.
Sansa wouldn't be the first woman to be trapped in an abusive relationship, turning away any chance to escape. But I never got the impression of any kind of internal fight, any build up of fear or hidden rage. Just her flopping from one tear-stained crisis to the next, acting as a pissing post for Joffrey and a foil to show how sadistic and evil he is.
I think the reason I've disliked her so much is that I secretly suspect that, if I lived in Westeros, I'd be Sansa. I like to think I'd be Tywin Lannister or Robb Stark or even Arya, but I'd be too worried about upsetting anyone or doing the wrong thing to do anything brave or bold or even stupid. And it's not something I really like about myself, which is probably why I spent four seasons hating on her.
Now, about Sansa's wedding night.
In the rulebook for the Song of Ice and Fire roleplaying game, Sansa is given as an example of the "Schemer" archetype, along with Littlefinger. At the end of Season 4, we finally see something of that. Sansa stands before the Lords of the Vale and twists her aunt's actions to make them pity her and do exactly what she wants. She then strides out with Robin like a puppeteer with a new puppet. Fucking finally! I thought. And in this episode, she tells Ramsey's sadistic sidekick "I am a Stark of Winterfell. This is my home. And you can't scare me."
For the first time in five seasons, Sansa has some agency.
And then Ramsey comes along and destroys all that. Rips the agency away from her like he rips her dress off her body.
Fucking why? What do we learn about Ramsey? That he's not a nice person? I kinda already had that impression, what with spending an entire season torturing Theon and flaying people alive. He doesn't like women? I would never have guessed by the way he hunts a former lover down and lets the dogs tear her apart.
But it gets worse. As Ramsey is literally violating her up in Winterfell, Littlefinger is figuratively violating her down in King's Landing. Just when we thought he was on her side, he sits down with Cersei and quite nonchalantly appears to be selling her out. Her wedding night would have been the perfect time for Sansa to display her recent cunning to outwit Ramsey and slide the balance of power over to her. She would cement her place as no-longer-a-victim and show us she has the potential to beat Littlefinger at his own game. But no, instead we see just the opposite.
And did it have to be rape? This is the third non-canonical rape in the show so far. Yes, Westeros is a violent place. People die all the time. But I have the luxury of not living in a violent world. I don't have to worry about being stabbed, shot, or poisoned. But rape isn't an escapist fantasy, it's a real threat hanging over the lives of people I care about.
The focus of the scene isn't even on Sansa, it's on Theon. Having been established as The (only remaining) Man of House Stark, he's emasculated by Ramsey violating Sansa, who he presumably now has an honour-bound duty to protect. Ramsey commits the ultimate violation of Sansa, robbing her of all innocence and virtue, something Joffrey never quite managed. Because cutting his dick off wasn't quite enough to emasculate Theon. Again, Sansa's nothing more than a foil for someone else's cruelty, a prop for someone else's story. And the rape is nothing more than a cheap plot device.
C.A. Hawksmoor
My feelings about the whole thing are kind of mixed. For starters, let's get one thing out of the way: the books really aren't perfect from a "not being horribly misogynist, racist, and homophobic" perspective. It's much easier, for example, for me to fall in love with Brienne of Tarth in the TV series, because I'm not subjected to the horrific misogynistic bile dripping off of Jaime's narrative every time he thinks about her. And if anything, the gay characters in the series get a far better treatment than GRRM gives them — where they're mostly rendered invisible aside from ridiculous nudge-nudge-wink-wink allusions like the fact that Renly Baratheon calls his Kingsguard the Rainbow Guard. Seriously? Because how else would we know he was gay if he wasn't literally flying the rainbow flag. It's patronising.
That said, one area where the books are consistently less full of cringe-making fail than HBO's effort is when it comes to sex and rape. For the most part, GRRM places the majority of this off screen. The books are less totally saturated with rape (which, as Dylan points out, is a real danger for at least half of the audience of both iterations in a way that almost comically grotesque violence isn't). Of the three non-cannonical rape scenes that have been wedged into the series so far, two are depicted as consensual sex in the books. On their wedding night, Danaerys is surprised by how gentle Drogo is, and how respectful of her boundaries. And when Cersei meets Jaime in the Sept over her dead son's body, she consents absolutely and enthusiastically. That's unsettling in itself, but I've always found I had a sort of understanding for Cersei in it — desperately reaching out for some kind of human contact after losing almost everything. In the show, Jaime just comes across as a monster, raping his sister beside their dead son's corpse. Which brings us to Sansa Stark, who isn't even present on her wedding night to Ramsey because Sansa and Littlefinger are elsewhere while one of Sansa's childhood friends is disguised as her and married off to Ramsey in her stead. Needless to say that Ramsey isn't kind to his new wife, but all of that happens off screen and we move on.
The writers and directors of HBO's show are far more comfortable showing us numerous graphic and distressing rape scenes than they are depicting consensual sex.
All of which brings us to a rather uncomfortable realisation: the writers and directors of HBO's show are far more comfortable showing us numerous graphic and distressing rape scenes than they are depicting consensual sex. Think about that for a moment, then go away and watch back over the last four seasons of the show. You'll see exactly what I mean. On numerous occasions, HBO have had the opportunity to show consensual sex, and have cut away instead. Danaerys's relationship with Dario, Robb Stark and Talisa, Cersei with Jaime or Lancel… almost every time the subject of consensual sex turns up, HBO have either cut away or switched it up to rape instead. That is… a really fucking creepy thing to realise.
Which brings me back to GRRM, who, despite considering himself a feminist and espousing the radical belief that women are human beings, has time and again has come out to defend the latest HBO-Game-of-Thrones-rape-scandal. Why? I couldn't tell you, but it's made me more cautious to gush about how much I love his work. I have a lot of friends who won't have anything to do with any iteration of A Song of Ice and Fire exactly because of issues like this, and when I look at how HBO have consistently decided that women deriving pleasure and enjoyment from sex is too controversial to put on screen, and GRRM's constant defence of HBO while they strip the agency, dignity, and clothes off of his carefully-crafted female characters, I can't say that I blame anyone for giving up.
Having said that, I know that there are other feminists out there who believe that HBO are actually doing a good job with all that rape, and I think it's important to acknowledge that point of view as well. Having spent the first thirty-or-so years of my life identifying as female, you kind of build up a callous on your soul where gratuitous rape scenes are meant to distress you. Most often, these scenes are used as titillation, and frequently also as a way to get a female character's clothes off. That's something profoundly disturbing about that. About how, as a culture, we tend to use rape to excite and entice. It's grotesque. And the one thing you can say about HBO's treatment of rape in Game of Thrones so far is that it absolutely does not do that. Every time they throw yet another rape scene at us, you can be sure that it isn't going to be about passion, and it certainly isn't going to be sexy. It's going to be horrible, it's going to be disturbing, it's going to be about subjugation… it's basically going to be something approximating what rape is actually like.
So yeah, I find it stomach-turning. It gets a very visceral and unpleasant emotional reaction out of me every time they do it. But actually? I'm at the point now where I'd still kinda rather it was depicted as something stomach-churningly horrible than as an excuse for more female objectification.
I mean, I'd really rather have a Game of Thrones that didn't resort to rape as an attempt to shock us, and was cool with depicting women enjoying sex. I'd rather have a Song of Ice and Fire by an author who'll show some fucking spine when his characters are stripped both literally and figuratively. But I've also mostly accepted that's not going to happen at this point. It's not a nice thing to have to admit, but it's true.

Good comments, thanks.
I'm cautious though of assuming that extreme violence, being stabbed or shot, isn't a real part of the lives of "us", the audience. Having just lived in Baltimore through the uprising, I have a hightened awareness for remembering that many of my neighbors in fact live lives of quite a bit of violence, and a hightened criticality of assuming the collective "us" without being explicit. Daily violence is a "real danger" not an escapist fantasy for many of "us" too, depending on who is "us".
Now, the residents of, say, Sandtown may or may not be the audience of the TV show. The critical eye toward "us" is useful here, we can suggest that with their casualness toward rape, the writers of the TV show aren't considering women to be their audience (or at least aren't _considering_ them).
I don't think the ultimate conclusion is necessarily that you can't depict anything in a work of fiction that is a "real danger" for significant numbers of people (in the country? on the planet?). I'm not sure what it is.
Hawksmoor & Fox says:
Yeah, the fact that violence is a real danger for a lot of people in the world, even a lot of people in the West, was something that I think was in the background of both of our minds while we were writing it. Ultimately this is a piece written from our personal experience, which has been exceptionally charmed and privileged. Since writing it I personally (Hawksmoor) have been thinking an awful lot about how I might feel about this show if violence was something I faced when I got up every morning. About how I'd feel about it if I lived in Tottenham during the London Riots, or Ferguson, or Baltimore. If I wasn't white, and couldn't mostly trust the authorities to take my side in things.
I'm not sure I have any answers, and I'm not sure that I SHOULD have any answers. But I can say that as a survivor of sexual assault the rape scenes in GoT are increasingly unsettling for me . As someone who grew up in a physically violent environment, I don't engage with the violence in the same way. It's so over-the-top that it may as well be a cartoon in places, and I find it ridiculous (and vaguely gross) more than distressing. Other people with other lived experiences may feel differently. And I would be really interested to hear thoughts about the violence levels from someone who watches and for whom violence is a part of their reality.


God is on a mission to make himself known to his people. By living within creation, God's people make God's mission known. As God's image bearers, we are called to remove ourselves from sin. God doesn't let sin get the last word but He saves his children from their sin through Jesus Christ.


The precise type and size of facial implants best suited for you require an evaluation of your goals, the features you wish to correct and your surgeon's judgment.
If you are bothered by a small chin, weak jaw or lack of facial contour, plastic surgery with facial implants may benefit you. While any area of your face can be augmented with implants, the cheek or malar area, chin and jaw are the most common sites for facial implants.
Facial implants provide the surgeon with the means to sculpt the patient's face unachievable with injectables alone. Permanent, non-migrating and looking like natural bone structure, our implants can give your patients the special confidence and self esteem that result from a newfound youth. They are also an excellent tool for a variety of reconstructive surgical applications.

AdBlue supply breakthrough
The Federal Government has announced a deal with Incitec Pivot to manufacture urea in Australia.
HVIA Chief Executive Todd Hacking said the deal will guarantee supply for Australian AdBlue manufacturers and relieve pressure of road transport operators.
"It's another amazing example of how we can onshore and solve problems by working together," Mr Hacking said.
"Thank you to Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Ministers Dan Tehan and Angus Taylor for listening to industry and acting decisively.
Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction Angus Taylor, with the AdBlue Taskforce, has struck an agreement with fertiliser manufacturer Incitec Pivot to secure local production of refined urea for the supply of diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue).
Under the agreement, Incitec Pivot will rapidly design, trial and, on completion of successful tests, scale-up manufacturing of significant quantities of Technical Grade Granular Urea (TGU), a critical component of AdBlue.
Incitec Pivot will supply quantities as needed by current suppliers.
Minister Taylor said this announcement is a step in the right direction and provides the trucking industry with certainty.
"Australia currently has adequate stocks of AdBlue stock on hand, but this agreement with Incitec Pivot will enable domestic production of TGU or supply of an AdBlue product to domestic manufacturers to ensure current supply chain disruptions don't impact on Australian businesses," Minister Taylor said.
"The ramping up of production by Incitec Pivot will be done without impacting agricultural fertiliser supply to local farmers or disrupting local distribution chains for AdBlue.
"This agreement is another important part of the Government's broader strategy to build supply chain resilience, which includes addressing shipping issues, ensuring local supplies of critical products and bolstering local manufacturing capability."
Boosting our local capabilities will be complemented by the ongoing work to secure additional supplies from international sources, to ensure we are prepared for any contingency.
Australia has acceped an offer from the Indonesian Government to provide 5,000 tonnes of refined urea in January – enough for an additional month's worth of AdBlue.
Minister Tehan said Australia is leveraging strong relationships with international partners to open up new sources of supply to meet future needs for refined urea.
"By working closely with our partners, we have been able to secure this critical supply for Australia," Minister Tehan said.
"We will continue to strengthen our close relationships around the world to support and further Australia's interests."
The Government has been working with the manufacturers and the shipping companies to ensure shipments of urea and AdBlue already on their way to Australia get priority for loading and delivery.
"Shipping companies have been helpful in prioritising the loading of a number of containers coming through Singapore to ensure that supplies arrive in Australia as soon as possible. I would like to thank those companies that have supported and offered support to this effort," Minister Taylor said.
The AdBlue taskforce is led by James Fazzino, Chair of Manufacturing Australia and former CEO of Incitec Pivot, along with Andrew Liveris, former Chairman and CEO of The Dow Chemical Company and Director at Saudi Aramco, and Dr Cathy Foley, Australia's Chief Scientist.
The Government has acknowledged industry concerns about high price of AdBlue in some areas.
A statement says "The Government understands that some pricing pressures may be normal in this situation, but expects suppliers to give customers a fair deal on AdBlue."

Regional Chief Puglaas (Jody Wilson-Raybould) is a descendant of the Musgamagw Tsawataineuk and Laich-Kwil-Tach peoples, which are part of the Kwakwaka'wakw, also known as the Kwak'wala speaking peoples. She is a member of the We Wai Kai Nation and lives with her husband, Tim Raybould, at Cape Mudge Village, Quadra Island, BC.
Coming from a long line of strong political leadership, Jody was raised to be a leader. After completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and History at the University of Victoria, she went on to earn a law degree from the University of British Columbia. After being called to the Bar Association in British Columbia in 2000, Jody worked as a provincial crown prosecutor in Vancouver's Main Street criminal courthouse in the downtown eastside. In 2003, Jody took a position as a process advisor at the BC Treaty Commission, a body established to oversee the negotiations of modern treaties between First Nations and the Crown but was soon elected a Commissioner by the Chiefs of the First Nations Summit in 2004. She served as Commissioner for nearly seven years, one and a half of which she spent as A/Chief commissioner. As a commissioner, Jody helped to advance a number of treaty tables and supported the establishment of a 'Common Table' of 60 plus First Nations and the Crown.
Jody was first elected Regional Chief of the BC Assembly of First Nations in 2009 and re-elected in November 2012 by the 203 First Nations in BC. As Regional Chief, Jody has championed the advancement of First Nations' strong and appropriate governance, fair access to lands and resources, improved education and individual health. In 2011 and 2012, Jody co-authored the BCAFN Governance Toolkit: A Guide to Nation Building. Part 1 of the Governance Toolkit – The Governance Report has been acclaimed as the most comprehensive report of its kind in Canada, setting out what First Nations in BC are doing with respect to transitioning their governance from under the Indian Act to a post-colonial world based on recognition of Aboriginal title and rights, including treaty rights. In 2012, Jody and the BCAFN launched Part 2 of the Governance Toolkit – The Governance Self-Assessment and Part 3—Guide to Community Engagement: Navigating Our Way Beyond the Post-Colonial Door. Jody believes passionately in the need for Nation re-building and empowering Indigenous peoples to take the practical steps necessary to implement the hard fought for rights as set out in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the promise of the recognition of Aboriginal and treaty rights in section 35 of the Canadian Constitution.
In addition to her responsibilities as Regional Chief, Jody is an elected member of Council in her home community of We Wai Kai, a role that she credits for strengthening her understanding and commitment to work at the provincial and national level advocating for strong and appropriate First Nations' governance. As a former board member for Minerva Foundation for BC Women, Jody was instrumental in the development of the "Combining Our Strength Initiative" – a partnership of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women. She is currently a director of the National First Nations Lands Advisory Board, and deputy chair of the First Nations Finance Authority. As Regional Chief, she holds portfolio responsibilities on the AFN executive for Governance and Nation building, the Chiefs Committee on Claims (including additions to reserve and specific claims) and chairs the Comprehensive Claims joint working group. In 2011, Jody was awarded a Minerva Foundation for BC Women alumni award and in 2012 a distinguished alumni award from the University of Victoria. Jody has travelled extensively to work on Indigenous Peoples' rights and leadership issues, including to the Philippines, Taiwan and Israel.
