A Stroll of Hope: The 2017 'Hope' Photography Exhibition in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Written byTeodora Hasegan
Posted February 6, 2018 3:04 GMT
In 2017 I was invited to participate at the Global Voices Summit which took place in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was the first time I attended the GV Summit. The summit exceeded all my expectations. All the discussions, panels, debates, and presentations, both during the internal meetings and the public conference — on diverse topics such as the open Internet, human rights, online civic movements — were thought-provoking and revealed the opportunities and challenges in these endeavors. The summit was also a place for creating connections, friendships and collaborations among the participants coming from more than 70 countries.
After the summit, I had the opportunity to explore some significant sights in Sri Lanka. One of these was the Viharamahadevi Park, the oldest and largest public park in Colombo, located in front of the colonial-era Town Hall building and close to the National Museum.
The park has several entrances, one opposite Park Street, the other next to the Public Library, and the third one — through which I walked in — opposite Town Hall. I admired the water pools in the center of the park, the aquarium on the far left end, the lake, the suspension bridge, and the World War memorial at the south end.
While taking a stroll, I came across the posters that were part of the photography exhibition titled 'Hope'. This is a project organized by the Office for National Unity and Reconciliation (ONUR), in partnership with the Delegation of the European Union to Sri Lanka and the Maldives. As it is explained on the EU Delegation to Sri Lanka website,
The initiative is a means for Sri Lankans to capture and share their ideas on what reconciliation means to them, in the context of reaching 70 years since Independence and the way forward towards a just and equitable society.
In the official presentation of the photography exhibition, it is stated that:
During the last seven decades, the country witnessed moments where we have been proud and united as a nation, as well incidents which have challenged our unity and made a significant impact on our lives forever.
Amateur and professional photographers were invited to submit their interpretations of the themes of national unity and reconciliation in their day-to-day lives as citizens. Out of those submitted, 70 best entries were featured in the 'Hope' public photography exhibition and selected photos were published in the EU Delegation 2018 calendar and in a booklet produced by ONUR.
The insightful photographs displayed a variety of life moments, portraits, bringing awareness to the diversity of people and cultures in the Sri Lankan society.
These are some photos I took of this inspiring exhibit spreading a message of national unity and reconciliation:
"Interesting photo shoot" photo from the exhibition.
"Friends" photo from the exhibition.
"Volunteering for reconciliation" photo from the exhibition.
"Vesak festival" photo from the exhibition.
"All together" photo from the exhibition.
The location of the exhibit is also meaningful. The park is named after Queen Viharamahadevi, the mother of King Dutugamunu. It was built on land donated to the Colombo city by Charles Henry de Soysaduring, the British rule of Sri Lanka, and used to be named 'Victoria Park' after Queen Victoria. During World War II it was occupied by the British Army with Australian 17th Brigade based at Victoria Park. After the war, the park was restored and open to the public in 1951.
I noticed how, in fact, the park itself reflected this theme of reconciliation, with people having a relaxing time, playing, walking, taking photos:

I agree with Paul Godfrey, Counsellor at the EU Delegation, who said:
Through reconciliation, we believe there is the hope of more inclusive identities that value the diversity of people and cultures in the island.
This is a statement that rings true for other places in the world with conflict-ridden past.
Reconciliation could be seen like this suspension bridge from the park: even if the bridge seems shaky, it still connects places and people. It is up to the people to make this bridge a stable one.

El primer borrador de la secuencia completa del genoma humano (GH) se publicó en el año 2001 por parte de dos consorcios competidores. Desde entonces, varias características estructurales y funcionales de la organización del GH han sido reveladas. Hoy en día, más de 2000 genomas humanos han sido secuenciados y todos estos hallazgos están impactando fuertemente en la academia y la salud pública. A pesar de esto, un gran cuello de botella llamado la interpretación del genoma persiste; esto es, la falta de una teoría que integre y explique el complejo rompecabezas de características codificantes y no codificantes que componen el GH como un todo. Diez años después de secuenciado el GH, dos trabajos recientes, abordados dentro del formalismo multifractal permiten proponer una teoría no-lineal que ayuda a interpretar la variación estructural y funcional de la información genética de los genomas. El presente artículo de revisión trata acerca de este novedoso enfoque, denominado: "Bioinformática multifractal".

The first draft of the human genome (HG) sequence was published in 2001 by two competing consortia. Since then, several structural and functional characteristics for the HG organization have been revealed. Today, more than 2.000 HG have been sequenced and these findings are impacting strongly on the academy and public health. Despite all this, a major bottleneck, called the genome interpretation persists. That is, the lack of a theory that explains the complex puzzles of coding and non-coding features that compose the HG as a whole. Ten years after the HG sequenced, two recent studies, discussed in the multifractal formalism allow proposing a nonlinear theory that helps interpret the structural and functional variation of the genetic information of the genomes. The present review article discusses this new approach, called: "Multifractal bioinformatics".
Keywords: Omics sciences, bioinformatics, human genome, multifractal analysis.
Omic Sciences and Bioinformatics
In order to study the genomes, their life properties and the pathological consequences of impairment, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was created in 1990. Since then, about 500 Gpb (EMBL) represented in thousands of prokaryotic genomes and tens of different eukaryotic genomes have been sequenced (NCBI, 1000 Genomes, ENCODE). Today, Genomics is defined as the set of sciences and technologies dedicated to the comprehensive study of the structure, function and origin of genomes. Several types of genomic have arisen as a result of the expansion and implementation of genomics to the study of the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology (CDMB), Figure 1 (above). The catalog of different types of genomics uses the Latin suffix "-omic" meaning "set of" to mean the new massive approaches of the new omics sciences (Moreno et al, 2009). Given the large amount of genomic information available in the databases and the urgency of its actual interpretation, the balance has begun to lean heavily toward the requirements of bioinformatics infrastructure research laboratories Figure 1 (below).
The bioinformatics or Computational Biology is defined as the application of computer and information technology to the analysis of biological data (Mount, 2004). An interdisciplinary science that requires the use of computing, applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, biophysical information, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Bioinformatics was born from the need to understand the sequences of nucleotide or amino acid symbols that make up DNA and proteins, respectively. These analyzes are made possible by the development of powerful algorithms that predict and reveal an infinity of structural and functional features in genomic sequences, as gene location, discovery of homologies between macromolecules databases (Blast), algorithms for phylogenetic analysis, for the regulatory analysis or the prediction of protein folding, among others. This great development has created a multiplicity of approaches giving rise to new types of Bioinformatics, such as Multifractal Bioinformatics (MFB) that is proposed here.
1.1 Multifractal Bioinformatics and Theoretical Background
MFB is a proposal to analyze information content in genomes and their life properties in a non-linear way. This is part of a specialized sub-discipline called "nonlinear Bioinformatics", which uses a number of related techniques for the study of nonlinearity (fractal geometry, Hurts exponents, power laws, wavelets, among others.) and applied to the study of biological problems (http://pharmaceuticalintelligence.com/tag/fractal-geometry/). For its application, we must take into account a detailed knowledge of the structure of the genome to be analyzed and an appropriate knowledge of the multifractal analysis.
1.2 From the Worm Genome toward Human Genome
To explore a complex genome such as the HG it is relevant to implement multifractal analysis (MFA) in a simpler genome in order to show its practical utility. For example, the genome of the small nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent model to learn many extrapolated lessons of complex organisms. Thus, if the MFA explains some of the structural properties in that genome it is expected that this same analysis reveals some similar properties in the HG.
The C. elegans nuclear genome is composed of about 100 Mbp, with six chromosomes distributed into five autosomes and one sex chromosome. The molecular structure of the genome is particularly homogeneous along with the chromosome sequences, due to the presence of several regular features, including large contents of genes and introns of similar sizes. The C. elegans genome has also a regional organization of the chromosomes, mainly because the majority of the repeated sequences are located in the chromosome arms, Figure 2 (left) (C. elegans Sequencing Consortium, 1998). Given these regular and irregular features, the MFA could be an appropriate approach to analyze such distributions.
Meanwhile, the HG sequencing revealed a surprising mosaicism in coding (genes) and noncoding (repetitive DNA) sequences, Figure 2 (right) (Venter et al., 2001). This structure of 6 Gbp is divided into 23 pairs of chromosomes (diploid cells) and these highly regionalized sequences introduce complex patterns of regularity and irregularity to understand the gene structure, the composition of sequences of repetitive DNA and its role in the study and application of life sciences. The coding regions of the genome are estimated at ~25,000 genes which constitute 1.4% of GH. These genes are involved in a giant sea of various types of non-coding sequences which compose 98.6% of HG (misnamed popularly as "junk DNA"). The non-coding regions are characterized by many types of repeated DNA sequences, where 10.6% consists of Alu sequences, a type of SINE (short and dispersed repeated elements) sequence and preferentially located towards the genes. LINES, MIR, MER, LTR, DNA transposons and introns are another type of non-coding sequences which form about 86% of the genome. Some of these sequences overlap with each other; as with CpG islands, which complicates the analysis of genomic landscape. This standard genomic landscape was recently clarified, the last studies show that 80.4% of HG is functional due to the discovery of more than five million "switches" that operate and regulate gene activity, re-evaluating the concept of "junk DNA". (The ENCODE Project Consortium, 2012).
Given that all these genomic variations both in worm and human produce regionalized genomic landscapes it is proposed that Fractal Geometry (FG) would allow measuring how the genetic information content is fragmented. In this paper the methodology and the nonlinear descriptive models for each of these genomes will be reviewed.
1.3 The MFA and its Application to Genome Studies
Most problems in physics are implicitly non-linear in nature, generating phenomena such as chaos theory, a science that deals with certain types of (non-linear) but very sensitive dynamic systems to initial conditions, nonetheless of deterministic rigor, that is that their behavior can be completely determined by knowing initial conditions (Peitgen et al, 1992). In turn, the FG is an appropriate tool to study the chaotic dynamic systems (CDS). In other words, the FG and chaos are closely related because the space region toward which a chaotic orbit tends asymptotically has a fractal structure (strange attractors). Therefore, the FG allows studying the framework on which CDS are defined (Moon, 1992). And this is how it is expected for the genome structure and function to be organized.
The MFA is an extension of the FG and it is related to (Shannon) information theory, disciplines that have been very useful to study the information content over a sequence of symbols. Initially, Mandelbrot established the FG in the 80's, as a geometry capable of measuring the irregularity of nature by calculating the fractal dimension (D), an exponent derived from a power law (Mandelbrot, 1982). The value of the D gives us a measure of the level of fragmentation or the information content for a complex phenomenon. That is because the D measures the scaling degree that the fragmented self-similarity of the system has. Thus, the FG looks for self-similar properties in structures and processes at different scales of resolution and these self-similarities are organized following scaling or power laws.
Sometimes, an exponent is not sufficient to characterize a complex phenomenon; so more exponents are required. The multifractal formalism allows this, and applies when many subgroups of fractals with different scalar properties with a large number of exponents or fractal dimensions coexist simultaneously. As a result, when a spectrum of multifractal singularity measurement is generated, the scaling behavior of the frequency of symbols of a sequence can be quantified (Vélez et al, 2010).
The MFA has been implemented to study the spatial heterogeneity of theoretical and experimental fractal patterns in different disciplines. In post-genomics times, the MFA was used to study multiple biological problems (Vélez et al, 2010). Nonetheless, very little attention has been given to the use of MFA to characterize the content of the structural genetic information of the genomes obtained from the images of the Chaos Representation Game (CRG). First studies at this level were made recently to the analysis of the C. elegans genome (Vélez et al, 2010) and human genomes (Moreno et al, 2011). The MFA methodology applied for the study of these genomes will be developed below.
The Multifractal Formalism from the CGR
2.1 Data Acquisition and Molecular Parameters
Databases for the C. elegans and the 36.2 Hs_ refseq HG version were downloaded from the NCBI FTP server. Then, several strategies were designed to fragment the genomic DNA sequences of different length ranges. For example, the C. elegans genome was divided into 18 fragments, Figure 2 (left) and the human genome in 9,379 fragments. According to their annotation systems, the contents of molecular parameters of coding sequences (genes, exons and introns), noncoding sequences (repetitive DNA, Alu, LINES, MIR, MER, LTR, promoters, etc.) and coding/ non-coding DNA (TTAGGC, AAAAT, AAATT, TTTTC, TTTTT, CpG islands, etc.) are counted for each sequence.
2.2 Construction of the CGR 2.3 Fractal Measurement by the Box Counting Method
Subsequently, the CGR, a recursive algorithm (Jeffrey, 1990; Restrepo et al, 2009) is applied to each selected DNA sequence, Figure 3 (above, left) and from which an image is obtained, which is quantified by the box-counting algorithm. For example, in Figure 3 (above, left) a CGR image for a human DNA sequence of 80,000 bp in length is shown. Here, dark regions represent sub-quadrants with a high number of points (or nucleotides). Clear regions, sections with a low number of points. The calculation for the D for the Koch curve by the box-counting method is illustrated by a progression of changes in the grid size, and its Cartesian graph, Table 1
The CGR image for a given DNA sequence is quantified by a standard fractal analysis. A fractal is a fragmented geometric figure whose parts are an approximated copy at full scale, that is, the figure has self-similarity. The D is basically a scaling rule that the figure obeys. Generally, a power law is given by the following expression:
Where N(E) is the number of parts required for covering the figure when a scaling factor E is applied. The power law permits to calculate the fractal dimension as:
The D obtained by the box-counting algorithm covers the figure with disjoint boxes ɛ = 1/E and counts the number of boxes required. Figure 4 (above, left) shows the multifractal measure at momentum q=1.
2.4 Multifractal Measurement
When generalizing the box-counting algorithm for the multifractal case and according to the method of moments q, we obtain the equation (3) (Gutiérrez et al, 1998; Yu et al, 2001):
Where the Mi number of points falling in the i-th grid is determined and related to the total number M0 and ɛ to box size. Thus, the MFA is used when multiple scaling rules are applied. Figure 4 (above, right) shows the calculation of the multifractal measures at different momentum q (partition function). Here, linear regressions must have a coefficient of determination equal or close to 1. From each linear regression D are obtained, which generate an spectrum of generalized fractal dimensions Dq for all q integers, Figure 4 (below, left). So, the multifractal spectrum is obtained as the limit:
The variation of the q integer allows emphasizing different regions and discriminating their fractal a high Dq is synonymous of the structure's richness and the properties of these regions. Negative q values emphasize the scarce regions; a high Dq indicates a lot of structure and properties in these regions. In real world applications, the limit Dq readily approximated from the data using a linear fitting: the transformation of the equation (3) yields:
Which shows that ln In(Mi )= for set q is a linear function in the ln(ɛ), Dq can therefore be evaluated as q the slope of a fixed relationship between In(Mi )= and (q-1) ln(ɛ). The methodologies and approaches for the method of box-counting and MFA are detailed in Moreno et al, 2000, Yu et al, 2001; Moreno, 2005. For a rigorous mathematical development of MFA from images consult Multifractal system, wikipedia.
2.5 Measurement of Information Content
Subsequently, from the spectrum of generalized dimensions Dq, the degree of multifractality ΔDq(MD) is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum values of D : ΔD qq = Dqmax - Dqmin (Ivanov et al, 1999). When qmaxqmin ΔDq is high, the multifractal spectrum is rich in information and highly aperiodic, when ΔDq is small, the resulting dimension spectrum is poor in information and highly periodic. It is expected then, that the aperiodicity in the genome would be related to highly polymorphic genomic aperiodic structures and those periodic regions with highly repetitive and not very polymorphic genomic structures. The correlation exponent t(q) = (q - 1)Dq, Figure 4 (below, right ) can also be obtained from the multifractal dimension Dq. The generalized dimension also provides significant specific information. D(q = 0) is equal to the Capacity dimension, which in this analysis is the size of the "box count". D(q = 1) is equal to the Information dimension and D(q = 2) to the Correlation dimension. Based on these multifractal parameters, many of the structural genomic properties can be quantified, related, and interpreted.
2.6 Multifractal Parameters and Statistical and Discrimination Analyses
Once the multifractal parameters are calculated (Dq = (-20, 20), ΔDq, πq, etc.), correlations with the molecular parameters are sought. These relations are established by plotting the number of genome molecular parameters versus MD by discriminant analysis with Cartesian graphs in 2-D, Figure 5 (below, left) and 3-D and combining multifractal and molecular parameters. Finally, simple linear regression analysis, multivariate analysis, and analyses by ranges and clusterings are made to establish statistical significance.
3 Results and Discussion
3.1 Non-linear Descriptive Model for the C. elegans Genome
When analyzing the C. elegans genome with the multifractal formalism it revealed what symmetry and asymmetry on the genome nucleotide composition suggested. Thus, the multifractal scaling of the C. elegans genome is of interest because it indicates that the molecular structure of the chromosome may be organized as a system operating far from equilibrium following nonlinear laws (Ivanov et al, 1999; Burgos and Moreno-Tovar, 1996). This can be discussed from two points of view:
1) When comparing C. elegans chromosomes with each other, the X chromosome showed the lowest multifractality, Figure 5 (above). This means that the X chromosome is operating close to equilibrium, which results in an increased genetic instability. Thus, the instability of the X could selectively contribute to the molecular mechanism that determines sex (XX or X0) during meiosis. Thus, the X chromosome would be operating closer to equilibrium in order to maintain their particular sexual dimorphism.
2) When comparing different chromosome regions of the C. elegans genome, changes in multifractality were found in relation to the regional organization (at the center and arms) exhibited by the chromosomes, Figure 5 (below, left). These behaviors are associated with changes in the content of repetitive DNA, Figure 5 (below, right). The results indicated that the chromosome arms are even more complex than previously anticipated. Thus, TTAGGC telomere sequences would be operating far from equilibrium to protect the genetic information encoded by the entire chromosome.
All these biological arguments may explain why C. elegans genome is organized in a nonlinear way. These findings provide insight to quantify and understand the organization of the non-linear structure of the C. elegans genome, which may be extended to other genomes, including the HG (Vélez et al, 2010).
3.2 Nonlinear Descriptive Model for the Human Genome
Once the multifractal approach was validated in C. elegans genome, HG was analyzed exhaustively. This allowed us to propose a nonlinear model for the HG structure which will be discussed under three points of view.
1) It was found that the HG high multifractality depends strongly on the contents of Alu sequences and to a lesser extent on the content of CpG islands. These contents would be located primarily in highly aperiodic regions, thus taking the chromosome far from equilibrium and giving to it greater genetic stability, protection and attraction of mutations, Figure 6 (A-C). Thus, hundreds of regions in the HG may have high genetic stability and the most important genetic information of the HG, the genes, would be safeguarded from environmental fluctuations. Other repeated elements (LINES, MIR, MER, LTRs) showed no significant relationship,
Figure 6 (D). Consequently, the human multifractal map developed in Moreno et al, 2011 constitutes a good tool to identify those regions rich in genetic information and genomic stability. 2) The multifractal context seems to be a significant requirement for the structural and functional organization of thousands of genes and gene families. Thus, a high multifractal context (aperiodic) appears to be a "genomic attractor" for many genes (KOGs, KEEGs), Figure 6 (E) and some gene families, Figure 6 (F) are involved in genetic and deterministic processes, in order to maintain a deterministic regulation control in the genome, although most of HG sequences may be subject to a complex epigenetic control.
3) The classification of human chromosomes and chromosome regions analysis may have some medical implications (Moreno et al, 2002; Moreno et al, 2009). This means that the structure of low nonlinearity exhibited by some chromosomes (or chromosome regions) involve an environmental predisposition, as potential targets to undergo structural or numerical chromosomal alterations in Figure 6 (G). Additionally, sex chromosomes should have low multifractality to maintain sexual dimorphism and probably the X chromosome inactivation.
All these fractals and biological arguments could explain why Alu elements are shaping the HG in a nonlinearly manner (Moreno et al, 2011). Finally, the multifractal modeling of the HG serves as theoretical framework to examine new discoveries made by the ENCODE project and new approaches about human epigenomes. That is, the non-linear organization of HG might help to explain why it is expected that most of the GH is functional.
All these results show that the multifractal formalism is appropriate to quantify and evaluate genetic information contents in genomes and to relate it with the known molecular anatomy of the genome and some of the expected properties. Thus, the MFB allows interpreting in a logic manner the structural nature and variation of the genome.
The MFB allows understanding why a number of chromosomal diseases are likely to occur in the genome, thus opening a new perspective toward personalized medicine to study and interpret the GH and its diseases.
The entire genome contains nonlinear information organizing it and supposedly making it function, concluding that virtually 100% of HG is functional. Bioinformatics in general, is enriched with a novel approach (MFB) making it possible to quantify the genetic information content of any DNA sequence and their practical applications to different disciplines in biology, medicine and agriculture. This novel breakthrough in computational genomic analysis and diseases contributes to define Biology as a "hard" science.
MFB opens a door to develop a research program towards the establishment of an integrative discipline that contributes to "break" the code of human life. (http://pharmaceuticalintelligence. com/page/3/).

Israel was a magazine writer and author in the 1970s and '80s who specialized in profiles of big name entertainment figures. But when the work dried up, she turned to selling letters she had forged from dead writers and actors, and eventually she began stealing actual letters from various archives before she was arrested in 1993. She is no longer alive.

She then meets Mrs. Lanlaire, a very unpleasant woman with a class superiority. All this bodes ill for the future...

SF TRAILER IS HERE!
We're going sf today, starting with the first trailer for August movie THE SPACE BETWEEN US in which NASA sends astronauts to be the first to live on Mars not knowing that one of them is pregnant and gives birth without revealing who the father is. NASA didn't tell anyone about it — for 16 years. Now he's a teenager (Asa Butterfield) who has been raised by scientists and has met fewer than 15 people in his life but is hip to what Earth is and "knows it's all going on without him." He also has developed an online relationship with an Earthling girl (Britt Robertson) in Colorado. After being brought back to Earth, he is put through tests but he escapes in order to find the girl. Just one thing: His romantic heart "can't handle our gravity." Gary Oldman and Carla Gugino also star!

Twenty years after the events of the first film, the international community recovers and the United Nations creates the Earth Space Defence (ESD), a united global defence program that serves as Earth's early warning system and the main defence force using technology salvaged from remains of the alien forces, with some military forces assembled on the Moon, Mars and Rhea. However, the aliens were able to send a distress signal to their other battalions before their final defeat while others went into hiding elsewhere around the world. The aliens in deep space received the signal and sent a larger and more powerful battle fleet, threatening the human race once more, this time, with a gravitational machine.

FULL TRAILERS FOR ABC'S EPIC SERIES 'STILL STAR CROSSED' ROMEO AND JULIET SEQUEL AND TIME TRAVELLING 'TIME AFTER TIME' ADVENTURE
'STILL STAR CROSSED' TRAILER
FOR ROMEO & JULIET SEQUEL
Full trailers have been released this week for ABC's freshly ordered new historical shows. Starting with their sequel to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet STILL STAR CROSSED, which will hit the small screens probably in the mid season and smells like a potential flop, if you ask me, because of the rather poor casting - I just don't see any charisma nor star power in Lashana Lynch especially not in a love story like this. It also stars magnetic Wade Briggs as Benvolio Montague, Anthony Head as Lord Capulet, Zuleikha Robinson as Lady Capulet, Sterling Sulieman as Prince Escalus, Medalion Rahimi as Princess Isabella, Grant Bowler as Damiano Montague, Torrance Coombs as Paris and Dan Hildebrand as Friar Lawrence.
16TH CENTURY VERONA
STILL STAR CROSSED is set in 16th century Verona charting the treachery, palace intrigue and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers' tragic fate. The story will revolve around Rosaline (Lashana Lynch), Juliet's cousin who is taken in by the Capulets after her parents die, forced to suffer her aunt's cruelty as a servant, and then ordered to marry dangerous and deadly handsome Benvolio (Wade Briggs), a Montague!
'TIME AFTER TIME' SERIES
YOUNG H.G.WELLS ADVENTURES
On the other hand, another of ABC's freshly ordered new shows will have modern times mixed with history! TIME AFTER TIME will chronicle the epic adventures of young H.G. Wells (Freddie Stroma) who travels through time chasing Jack the Ripper (Josh Bowman) who, in our day, is a brilliant and charismatic surgeon. Upon arriving in modern New York, he is captivated by museum curator Jane Walker (Genesis Rodriguez). Pop star Jordin Sparks will play a New York stylist Jesse Givens who is also Jane Walker's roommate, while Regina Taylor will play a billionaire who owns and protects the Time Machine. It is based on the novel written by Karl Alexander.

PUNK ROCK 'WILL' SHAKESPEARE EPIC SERIES TRAILER WITH LAURIE DAVIDSON, MATTIAS INWOOD! ITV PREPARING 'VANITY FAIR' EPIC MINI SERIES ADAPTATION?
ITV TO TURN 'VANITY FAIR'
INTO EPIC MINI TV SERIES
Well, ITV has really given us a lot of great new shows this year, and we're still expecting some others to air till the end of the year, but it seems they're trying to repeat the success of BBC's WAR AND PEACE by adapting another massive, albeit not at all that deep, classic. Rumour has it that they're preparing 10 million pounds worth six episode epic series on Thackeray's VANITY FAIR. The same production house that did POLDARK is preparing the 19th century story of a girl of lowly origins who climbs up the social ladder by using her charms and wit to manipulate and seduce and gain financial and social security. Opulent sets and lavish costumes are to be expected! The studio, as Mirror reports, apparently wants stars like Emilia Clarke and Natalie Dormer for the role.
'WILL' TRAILER
FOR NEW EPIC TV SERIES
And here's a new series freshly ordered for a 10 episode season by TNT we're looking forward too: Shekhar Kapur directed WILL, the wild story (with a modern soundtrack) of young William Shakespeare's (Laurie Davidson) arrival onto the punk-rock 16th century London theatre scene where his raw talent faced rioting audiences, religious fanatics and raucous side-shows!
PUNK ROCK WILL
Attracted to Will's naïve genius is Alice Burbage (Olivia DeJonge), the daughter of James Burbage (Colm Meaney), the carpenter with a vision to build the first theatre in London since Roman times. Despite being the daughter of an impresario, Alice is forbidden by society from pursuing a career in the theatre. Her brother Richard Burbage (Mattias Inwood), is innately talented, but too much in love with himself and prone to overact. A chance encounter at the theatre leads him to team up with Will in what would soon become the greatest actor-writer partnership the world has ever seen. Rounding out Will's cast of characters are playwright, poet and chief Shakespeare rival Christopher Marlowe (Jamie Campbell Bower) and wealthy and notorious law enforcer Richard Topcliffe (Ewen Bremner).

Q: Recompile Django without restarting Apache I know there are topics on this and I am aware of using Daemon processes with mod_wsgi, but I am running on a Windows computer and I don't believe WSGIDaemonProcess is therefore available.  Is there any other way I can recompile Django without restarting Apache with mod_wsgi on a Windows computer?
If not that's fine but I just wonder how people would deal with this in a production environment with a hosting company (like GoDaddy), where the server is not theirs to control.  I'm running a development server so restarting it is no big deal.

A: Best you can manage is what is described in:

I got sick this weekend! So that's fun. I got sick on Friday night, when Marlo rented the special edition of Return of the King (more on that later). The sore throat and cough came with a massive headache and even though I was supposed to draw, I just couldn't do anything. Going for a walk seemed to help the headache. We walked to Marlo's on Saturday so she could get some stuff done at home and I laid down on her bed. The next thing I knew I was being woken up. I felt well enough to draw on Saturday so that's what I did while Marmar and I watched the Return of the King extras (we both cried, it was cute. She asked me what was wrong with my nose). Today we walked to Starbucks in the sunshine and it took a lot out of me, but I'm good to draw some more, and people are coming over to watch The Big Kahuna tonight!

Another one bites the dust and it seems to suggest that defending Microsoft in Europe proved rather frustrating, if not altogether impossible.
Tom Brookes, Microsoft's Brussels-based spokesman on antitrust matters, has resigned his partnership position at the public affairs consultancy G-Plus, and his responsibility for the Microsoft account, and is understood to be joining Apple, according to people who work closely with him.
And another one joins the top-level exodus. This comes just days after Steve Ballmer expressed concerns over the fines in the EU and even mentioned "retirement".

interactions with the technology industry, and by 1983, the division had formed lasting links with hardware and software manufacturers. In addition, more generalized educational programs fostered relationships with suppliers and associations in the field of education.
Conference Services planned many successful conferences, and the demand for the department's growing expertise extended to organizations outside the University. Today, the symbiotic relationship between the University and the business community continues to flourish. The Continuation Center evolved into Continuing and Professional Education — a name that better reflects its reach beyond university borders — and is now within the suite of departments that comprise Student Services and Enrollment Management (SSEM).

The Sturm Abteilung der NSDAP (SA, assault battalion of the Nazi party) – created in August 1920 – were squads of strong arms intended to protect the Nazis' meetings, to provoke disturbance, to break up other parties' meetings, and to attack and assault political opponents as part of a deliberate campaign of intimidation.
After 1925 the name Braunhemden (Brownshirts) was also given to its members because of the colour of their uniforms. Under the leadership of Hitler's close political associate, Ernst Röhm, the SA grew to become a huge and radical paramilitary force.
This book answers several questions concerning the SA. How did the SA become a national movement? What was the relationship between Röhm and Hitler? What role did the SA play in providing Hitler with the keys to power? After the seizure of power by the Nazis on January 30, 1933, what was the function of the Brownshirts? Why did the brutal and scandalous Ernst Röhm stand in Hitler's way? What became of the SA after the bloody purge of June 1934, the notorious 'Night of the Long Knives'?
WWII History magazine, August 2017
In this 276 page book, Jean-Denis Lepage really has written a comprehensive study of the SA including the history of both the organisation and their rivals the SS, uniforms, flags, the rank structure and their funding. He writes in a totally honest and neutral manner, he does not come across as a NAZI fan-boy or apologist, giving you the facts in a straight forward manner. Having said that, the book really is a surprisingly easy read and is in-depth enough to give you a broad understanding of the subject, but not to fact heavy. Illustrated with more than 100 line drawings, Jean-Denis has produced an excellent history of an organisation that was central in the early years of the NAZI party. Certainly a worthwhile purchase if this is your area of interest.

In Germany, after 1918, armed units were operated by political Parties and political groups as a standard element of their
structure. This book provides an insight into the Sturmabteilung der NSDAP. It is carefully researched and illustrated by sketches and drawings. Essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the political scene in Germany between the World Wars, and the rise of the Nazi Party, Recommended.

A colleague shared an article ("I Am Not Alone in Wanting the Respect I Deserve. That's Not Whining.") this evening; it was a response to another article ("Is That Whining Adjunct Someone We Want Teaching Our Young?"), written by someone who implied, or said outright, that adjuncts' complaints about the lack of full-time work, and/or their inability to get full-time work, is related to their (my) entitlement issues. It's unkind at best, as well as unkind and an oversimplification of the issues at hand.
People adjunct for a lot of reasons: Perhaps they had, or have, another carer and wish to augment their income, or they're interested in branching out, professionally speaking. Perhaps they're retired from teaching (or another career) and wish to continue working part-time because they enjoy teaching and/or working, and wish to maintain involvement and/or contribute and/or share their personal and professional experiences. And perhaps, like so many more of us, there simply isn't a full-time teaching job to be had.
Adjuncts are not paid well. I am absolutely not complaining about my job; I love teaching at a community college, and truth be told I hope to make a career out of teaching at this level. I am thrilled that I have any teaching job at all, although I find it ironic that I've found it easier to get jobs teaching at three different colleges (jobs for which I am theoretically unqualified or underqualified, given my lack of advanced degree) than teaching at the secondary level of education (something for which I have been trained and for which I maintain my teaching license).
I adjunct because I am paid better and work better hours than most retail or fast food or even in office jobs (there are always exceptions - something else that's a bit sad). I adjunct because I've had generally miserable experiences working in offices, and nearly any office job for which I would be qualified would be a job in which I am not interested, nor would it pay close to what teaching (or even subbing) pays. But mostly I adjunct because I'd rather be underpaid doing something I love than working in a job, however well paid, I hate. I refuse to believe that wanting to teach full time makes me whiny. I would like a full-time job teaching, at a single institution. A job with benefits, and one with regular hours.
I wish I could remember where I read this, but months back I read an article in which a history professor noted that he could not "in good conscience" advise his students to pursue graduate degrees (and the subject of a different rant is why "graduate degree" unilaterally means "Ph.D."). History is, as I understand it, a very difficult field, and I could see that it might be difficult to apply a degree in history to other careers. However, the writer of this particular column ignored any teaching job that wasn't at a R1-level university. Nothing was said about smaller colleges; nothing was said about community colleges. I replied something to the effect that there are other options that history teachers might consider, such as community colleges, etc., and that perhaps not all history professors (or teachers of other subjects) were necessarily interested in R1 universities.
Another commenter replied that "though [Michelle] may not want to hear it..." before going on to agree with the writer. The other commenter noted that the thing to do was to just pick up and move to where the jobs are. My reply was that there are those who do not have that choice, something that was strenuously disagreed with, especially in the case of the other commenter, who noted that she lived thousands of miles away from her family. No mention of a spouse or school-aged children.
In both the case of the writer and the other commenter, though, this is willful ignorance. If one were interested in teaching at a large, research-centered university, I hope that if one has a spouse, that the spouse is willing and able to pick up and move - made difficult if the spouse is working and has his or her own career. I hope that if there are children involved, it's as easy as moving them. If there are elderly parents to consider, I hope that they do not need care. These extraneous issues were all entirely ignored by the other commenter. Situations must align very well in order for someone to be able to move stakes.
Perhaps the spouse is able to find employment elsewhere, and/or the new job would pay sufficiently to support the entire family. Perhaps there are no relatives that need care. And the children don't necessarily get a say in picking up and moving to another town, state, or country. But to imply that if one wants a job then one simply moves is an oversimplification of matters at hand for many and shows an unkind disregard.
And to imply that people who adjunct should merely find other work (or stop "whining" and piece work together like so many others who don't work in academia) ignores factors that may keep adjuncts adjuncting. And, come to think of it, this mindset ignores issues those in other jobs face when it comes to low-paying jobs. "Just get another/third/fourth/fifth job" - how practical is that? How about one job that pays well enough to live on?

Q: bind value in the view to the model before request is sent I am using anuglar with laravel.
laravel is returning a view which includes a users id as hidden input field.
After the view is loaded I want angular to bind the userid to variable and then use it to complete a http get request to the route someotherresource/userid.
When I hard code the route to angular controller it works fine but when I try to input the variable I get an undefined error which I think is because angular is trying to fire the request before the page is fully loaded and the value has been bound to the model
app.js
function resourceController($scope, $http) {
     /*$http.get('/resource' + $scope.userid).success(function(resource) {
        $scope.resource = resource;
     });*/
     console.log($scope.userid);
}

html
<div ng-controller="resourceController">
<form>
<input type="hidden" value="1" ng-model='userid'>
</form>
%% userid %%
</div>

edit: added console.log to the js and %% userid %% to the html.  this gives me undefined in the console and nothing displays for %% userid %%.
NB: I have changed the regular {{ }} syntax to %% %% to avoid conflicts the the back-end templating language.

A: You need to declare your $scope.userid variable. I'd also advise against using regular function declarations for your Controllers, Angular provides modules for you to do this so that the functions do not exist in the global scope:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

myApp.controller('getRatingsController', function ($scope, $http) {

  $scope.userid = 'Todd Motto';

});

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/mJfwd

A: Just adding the ng-model on hidden does not set the model value. It would not get set even in future. Better would be to use something like ng-init to set initial variable and do a watch on its change
See my fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/cmyworld/WjJPT/
If you can define the ng-init on html about the the controller div, you don't even need to do a watch.


Psycho is a NextGen Gaming-powered video slot game with 5 reels and 25 paylines. Playable from 25p a spin, the online slot game has been produced in partnership with Universal Studios and is based on Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film which is regarding as one of the best films of all time.
With brilliant graphics, animations and a chilling soundtrack, you can benefit from Psycho Wilds where wins with a wild can be multiplied by up to 20! In the free spins feature, you can get up to 20 free spins with wild wins subject to a massive 40x multiplier – this is a medium to high variance classic in the making.
The online slot game is set in an isolated wooden house which sits on the hilltop overlooking the mysterious Bates Motel which is in the middle of a dark and chilling countryside where it's always raining. You will see a silhouetted figure lurking in the window surveying the area and watching over the new arrivals at her hotel whilst a young man (Norman) attends to the guests with enthusiasm.
Psycho is visually brilliant in its mysterious setting and has a thrilling soundtrack that really brings the essence of the iconic film back to life – you will notice the gameplay is centred on the iconic 'shower' scene. You can play from as little as 25p to as much as £50 a spin.
When it comes to Psycho game features, you can benefit from Psycho Wilds as these wilds may be added to any spin. If you a have a win with wilds in the base game, they can be multiplied by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x or even 20x! These are applied randomly so hopefully you'll get a big hit on the big multipliers.
Then you have the Free Game feature which is triggered when you get 3 or more Haunted House scatters – 3 will give you 10 free spins, 4 will give you 15 free spins and 5 will give you 20 free spins. More wilds will appear in the feature which is important and wins will wilds may be multiplied by 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 20x or 40x. Could you imagine a wild win with a huge 40x multiplier? Finally, it's good to know that the feature can be retriggered (by getting 3 or more Haunted House scatters during the feature).
I really like the Psycho slot game as it's a medium to high variance slot – NextGen Gaming released the branded Judge Dredd which was ok but this release is just superb. There are very big wins to be had in Psycho win a maximum win of over 750 times your stake in the base game and over 1,500 times your stake in the free spins feature – this puts Psycho on par , in terms of variance, with the cult 300 Shields (also by NextGen Gaming).

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of social cognition in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN).
Methods: Eighteen female patients with AN (mean age =35.4±8.6 years) and 18 female healthy controls (HC) (mean age =32.8±9.4 years) participated in the study. Their social cognition was assessed with the Social Cognition Screening Questionnaire (SCSQ).
Results: The results showed that total score of the SCSQ and scores of theory of mind and metacognition were significantly lower in AN group than those in HC group. Moreover, significant differences in theory of mind, metacognition, and total score of the SCSQ remained when the effects of depression, anxiety, and starvation were eliminated statistically.
Conclusion: These results suggest that patients with AN may have difficulty inferring other people's intention and also monitoring and evaluating their own cognitive activities. Therefore, these features may explain some aspects of the pathology of AN.
Keywords: anorexia nervosa, social cognition, theory of mind, metacognition
