Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review: Days of Heaven (1978)
"You know how people are-- you tell them something, they start talking," Linda (Linda Manz) explains near the beginning of Terrence Malick's Badlands follow-up Days of Heaven.
And throughout Heaven, Malick adheres to this belief as Linda's youthful, heavily East Coast accented voice that narrates the goings-on from her limited point-of-view and intellectual understanding, serves as the most consistent human sound heard during the 94 minute running time.
Since Linda reveals little, very little talking ensues which suits the painterly pastiche perfectly. Swept up in the scope of the film-- grandly established by the romantic Camille Saint-Saëns theme that accompanies Malick's opening credit sequence-- pre-World War I era photos fill the frame until finally the black and white images fade out and Heaven begins, matching the previous style in an intuitive segue from still to moving pictures.
The natural progression in media flows so perfectly that-- especially giving the lush beauty for which the Oscar winning film is known as a true visual cinematic treasure-- Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven could be called one of American history's quintessential moving pictures.
Deceptively simplistic, Heaven can be very simply summed up as a work that chronicles the relationship between a trio of close knit characters who happen to cross paths with a fourth just as the United States entered the first world war in 1916-17.
As an impoverished worker who clocks his boss at a Chicago factory and ends up accidentally killing him over an undisclosed disagreement we primarily see and hear simply in murmurs, Richard Gere packs up his younger sister Linda and his girlfriend, Abby (Brooke Adams) who masquerades as his sister on the road to prevent tongues wagging and journeys to the Texas Panhandle.
Working the harvest on a handsome but lonesome farmer's land, Gere's scheming, hot-headed Bill cooks up a ruthless plan worthy of Henry James and Thomas Hardy when he discovers that the young farmer (Sam Shepherd) is keeping the fact that he's fatally ill a secret.
While this alone would be of interest to desperate souls, when Bill also recognizes that the father has become "stuck on" the beguiling dark-haired Abby, Bill's mind begins racing even faster than the tractors in the field.
Still keeping up the sibling charade even after another worker proves why Linda's belief in quietness pays off when he accuses Abby of keeping her brother "warm at night," and tired of working from when the sun first came up until it went back down again, Bill coaxes Abby into getting involved with the wealthy farmer who intends to make her his wife.
Willing to sacrifice the woman he loves for the chance to have an easier life, Bill and Abby's duplicitous decision inevitably proves that days of heaven are as fleeting as harvest season as the truth gets tumbled like weeds, relationships grow and are hastily cut short, and unforeseen spoilers like locusts and lies that cannot be erased begin to threaten everything.
Essentially a masterpiece of exquisite cinematography, despite criticisms for its basic structure with nary a twist in sight, Heaven's impact in the field of motion picture photography cannot be understated. Filled with Nester Almendros magic hour heavy cinematography, the Cuban born Truffaut collaborator who wasn't allowed to manually shoot anything due to union rules sought inspiration from classic painters like Wyeth and Hopper along with the same period photography that opened the picture.
When work on another Truffaut film beckoned and he had to leave Heaven, he recruited friend and fellow groundbreaking cameraman, Haskell Wexler to come aboard. Working side-by-side with Wexler for a week, Almendros ensured the transition would be so seamless that to this day, there's still some hard feelings over Wexler's "additional photography" credit and exclusion from sharing the Oscar with Almendros.
Piecing it together for two years to make the type of old fashioned period film that replaced gritty realism with artificial nostalgia for which he was looking, Malick's work moved away from the tendency to use filters, tricks, or glossy Hollywood techniques in favor of a sparse color palette of rich, deep, dark browns of the Texas panhandle and golden fires on an autumn evening to transform celluloid into its own museum worthy presentation.
From a pure visceral standpoint, Malick's Heaven hasn't been matched in his career in terms of it ability to stop you completely, arresting all of your senses which certainly comes through in this exquisite Blu-ray Criterion transfer that has removed all traces of dirt, debris and scratches by giving us a smooth 1.78:1 widescreen aspect ratio and richly balanced surround sound derived from a cleaned up version of its original magnetic 4.1 audio track.
Eliminating the hisses and pops from the old material, the high definition clarity in terms of both picture and sound is a completely immersive experience, as crickets chirp from behind you in rear speakers, wind blows steadily throughout and the train they hitch a ride on is so lifelike it feels as though you're going to depart right from your family room.
Pure cinema purely preserved to a much more satisfying effect than its previous Paramount DVD release, Malick's work arrives on Criterion just one month after the Cannes award winning film Paris, Texas written by Heaven's farmer joined the collection's Blu-ray ranks.
And although from a storytelling standpoint, Malick managed to top himself in his more recent offerings The Thin Red Line and in the vastly underrated effort The New World, seeing Days of Heaven again in the era of so much useless cinematic noise and overblown effects reminds you just how powerful silence can be, especially when filtered by the dedicated digital magicians from The Criterion Collection.

East West Theatre's latest show hits Shanghai.
Shanghai-based East West Theatre presents Stephen Adly Guirgis' high-octane exploration of moral relativism, love, and addiction, The Motherf**ker with the Hat. We spend some time with the show's director Awesta Zarif to find out more.
East Indie: For those new to The Motherf**ker with the Hat, what's it all about?
Awesta Zarif: The Motherf**ker with the Hat follows our protagonist Jackie as he attempts to rebuild his life having been released from prison and having committed to a life of sobriety. When he suspects his girlfriend, Veronica, of infidelity it all comes crashing down. It's down to his AA sponsor Ralph and his cousin Julio to stop Jackie from reverting to his old habits.
EI: What drew you to this particular production?
AZ: We've also produced quite a few modern productions, including new writing! However, we were drawn to this play for a number of reasons—primarily because it questions our notion of good verses bad and our idea of what it means to be a moral person. It also brings forth the concept of relative truth. If you're happy in a particular moment, but find out later you were being lied to, does that take away from the honest joy you felt originally. This play is contemporary, relatable, and very funny. We also thought it would be appropriate to do this play in Shanghai as this is an urban, concrete jungle, just as much as New York City is.
It questions our notion of good verses bad and our idea of what it means to be a moral person.
EI: What can audiences expect to see from this version of the play?
AZ: The play is highly engaging because the writing is explosive, witty, and quick. It's also written in a contemporary vernacular, which makes it easy and fun to listen to.
EI: Cursing is a prominent feature of the play. What does the strong choice of language bring to the show?
AZ: For these characters, cursing is a part of their everyday language and not a big deal at all. I think it brings a level of realness, grit, and relatability to the show. These characters aren't exactly the happiest people in the world, so it's also a reflection of that.
EI: Swearing can be cathartic, has the cast enjoyed the lack of verbal restraint?
AZ: Absolutely. It's fun to play with these words and find the rhythm in them. The challenge is to keep the delivery authentic and not emphasize the fact that we're swearing too much.
EI: What challenges did you face bringing such a visceral production to stage?
AZ: The challenges these characters go through are very real and painful. At times it was difficult for the actors to disconnect their own opinions of how they would react in certain situations and react from a new perspective. That's one of the exciting things about performing—you get to experiment with a point of view different than your own. And, you get to have experiences through a whole new lens, based on your character's back-story and circumstances.
That's one of the exciting things about performing—you get experiment with a point of view different than your own.
EI: How else has the show been adapted for Shanghai's multicultural audiences?
AZ: This show contains themes that all humans can relate to, no matter which cultural background they come from. It's especially applicable to the modern urban resident—whether that concrete jungle is in America or Asia.
EI: Is there anything special or unique that stands out in this particular production?
AZ: The surrealistic set we use was designed for us by the Shanghai-based artist, Redic. It's designed to reflect the chaos and journey of our character's inner journeys throughout the play.
EI: The play blends darkness and humor throughout. Was there anything in particular you were looking for in the actors during the audition process?
AZ: We were especially looking for actors who could bring a special element to the production—ones that could handle heavy emotional situations with the seriousness they deserve, but also bring a special element of lightness.
EI: Has exploring these themes affected you and the crew in any way?
AZ: It has made all of us question times when we could've acted as better moral versions of ourselves. As well, it has reminded us of times when we might have deceived loved ones and got away with it.
It has made all of us question times when we could've acted as better moral versions of ourselves.
EI: The playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis said that he hopes audiences will see themselves in characters on stage. Which characters did you relate to the most?
AZ: Jackie—our hero. Life is throwing seriously unexpected curveballs at him and he has to learn to roll with the punches in order to keep going.
EI: The show's title is definitely guaranteed to draw a reaction, but what would you like to see from audiences as they leave the theatre?
AZ: We hope they will leave with a feeling of catharsis. Things in life don't always work out the way we hope they will. Happy endings aren't always assured, but what is important is acceptance and the ability to reprioritize our goals.
EI: What can we look expect to see from East West Theatre in the future?
AZ: We're working on a very exciting production; an all-female version of Romeo and Juliet. Also, we have a Cabaret night planned if you like Broadway music.
The second week of East West Theatre's two-week run of The Motherf**ker with the Hat goes from Thursday, October 25 to Sunday, October 28, 2018, at Mixpace in Changning District in Shanghai. Check the poster below for details or click here to get your tickets.

Krunglevičius presents a series of questions and answers on two screens (the left for enquiries; the right for replies), scrutinising the methodology of persuasion, which this work seems to argue, might be a form of trickery. These are techniques through which the interrogator attempts to ingratiate themselves with the questioned subject, and break down through a sort of systematically structured 'charm', any resistance to making a detailed confession.
One of the hits in the last Sydney Biennale, the nineteenth one that was directed by Juliana Engberg, was Lithuanian artist Ignas Krunglevičius's Interrogation, a work which is now being presented in Te Tuhi.
You can hear it in the building long before you see it. It has a hypnotic pulsing disco beat that seems to rarely pause. This installation, with its carefully angled double screen, meticulous (but changing) lighting, nuanced soundtrack and visually overpowering text, deals with police techniques of extracting information from accused prisoners. It demonstrates methods that attempt to gain a prisoner's trust - a prisoner who may (of course) be innocent, lying, confused, and forgetful. In most cases they will be stressed and vulnerable.
Krunglevičius presents a series of questions and answers on two screens (the left for enquiries; the right for replies), scrutinising the methodology of persuasion, which this work seems to argue, might be a form of trickery. These are techniques through which the interrogator attempts to ingratiate themselves with the questioned subject, and break down through a sort of systematically structured 'charm', any resistance to making a detailed confession. These are carefully crafted 'means' aimed at achieving an 'end' that will hold up in a court of law.
Here is a link to an animated video version of this questioning that Krunglevičius has constructed out of research from police files. Looking at it on your screen is nothing like the overwhelming experience of sitting on a bench in the dark Te Tuhi space, close to the 'hinged' double-screen with its blinding stroboscopic sans serif letters, intensely coloured 'blank' rectangles and beautifully modulated, but loud, insistent soundtrack.
Eventually the exhausted prisoner suddenly admits to firing at least two shots, so the lethal injuries might not have been just an accident, and perhaps not spontaneous. At this point the prisoner seems to have realised what she has said, for upon the questioner trying to get some indication of her motivation ("This is your chance to help yourself…") she refuses to say any more.
This is a fascinating work, one that is very physical in the way gallery visitor is immersed in its claustrophobic sound, text and movement - and intriguing in what it exposes. In its interrogation of the interrogators it doesn't judge (these are people doing their job) but it certainly makes you wonder about how a lot of court evidence is obtained, and if you would organise things differently.


The spectre of chemical weapons recently used in the conflict in Syria against civilians has raised international alarms, led to calls for an investigation and met with strong condemnation from the World Council of Churches (WCC) general secretary, who called on the United Nations to fulfill its responsibility to protect the Syrian people from gross human rights violations.
"No matter who is behind this attack, it is absolutely unconscionable that chemical weapons may have found their way into the conflict in Syria," said the Rev Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, the WCC general secretary on Tuesday 27 August 2013 from the WCC offices in Geneva.
Nearly 1,300 people died from what appears to have been a gas attack of 21 August, in Ghouta, a suburb of the Syrian capital, Damascus, according to news reports.
Already, more than 100,000 people have died in the conflict, while 1.7 million have become refugees outside Syria and 1.5 million are displaced inside Syria. Half of those refugees and displaced people are under age 18 according to aid agency reports.
Hundreds have gone missing and been kidnapped, including two bishops, Archbishop Mar Yohanna Gregorios Ibrahim from the Syriac Orthodox Church and Archbishop Paul Yazigi from the Greek Orthodox Church, and three priests, the latest being Jesuit Father Paolo Dall'Oglio.
Tveit said the WCC calls for and supports the UN conducting a thorough and impartial investigation into the alleged gas attack, and calls upon the Syrian government to fulfil its role to protect its citizens.
It is important for the UN to have full access for their investigation, Dr Tveit said.
"I appeal to the UN and international community to work cooperatively for a negotiated political means to find a peaceful end to this conflict," he added.

This paper demonstrates the role of bank-sourced benchmarks and indices in credit portfolio management ("CPM"). All banks aim for optimal risk-adjusted returns across their book of business, but there is an increasing focus on credit portfolio diversification in comparison with their competitors. Bank-sourced data provides benchmarks that measure this diversification and allow banks to make better-informed portfolio construction decisions. This paper presents a number of worked examples based on current IRB bank use cases.

U Maryland Waitlist any news?
Has anyone heard anything back from Maryland yet? I thought there would've been some movements on April 1st, but apparently no one has said anything.
NOthing here. When did you interview?
I interviewed around mid of January.
I was there in late Feb. I've heard nothing yet.
No news here. Interviewed in late January. Anyone know if they will tell you what number you are on the wait list? Did anyone ever figure out which is better, "wl" or "wl-1"?
They wont tell you what number you are. And still dont know if there's a difference between the wl vs wl-1 although there is some belief that wl-1 might mean your at the top of the list according to previous year waitlisters being accepted and being wl-1 can just be coincidence though.
Hey ovi8, how were you able to find out that person that got accepted on Mar. 27? Not trying to be nosy, but maybe we can find more people that interviewed in Feb. or Mar. and have been accepted.

HOUSTON — The Houston Astros enjoyed their share of luck and made some of their own during their 12-game winning streak , but on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays, they tasted regression.
Well, at least right fielder George Springer did. Already mired in a miserable slump dating back one month, Springer had a potential game-tying, three-run home run snagged by Toronto right fielder Randal Grichuk with no outs in the ninth inning of the Astros' 6-3 loss. Grichuk shifted from center field to right in the ninth to make way for standout defender Kevin Pillar.
Instead of pulling the Astros even at 6-all, Springer finished 0-for-5 with a strikeout and three runners stranded. He entered the series with a .196/.322/.353 slash line since May 26, the first game after he improved his OPS to .894 with a robust .305/.367/.527 line through 50 games.
"It sucks," Springer said. "There's not really anything else to say about it. It's tough. It is what it is. They win."
Despite opening Monday tied with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox for the best record in the majors, the Astros (52-28) have been a bit unlucky in close, low-scoring games. While their pitching staff has performed splendidly in the first half of the season, the Astros are just 8-14 in one-run games and dropped to 7-19 when scoring three or fewer runs. Houston has run roughshod over opponents on the road, but the loss to Toronto dropped the Astros to a modest 23-17 at home.
"Baseball can be pretty cruel," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "That's a tough one. Right off the bat, I thought George got one. It carried and carried and carried and looked like he (Grichuk) had to go pretty deep into the stands to get it. George delivered a great swing. Cruel sport."
Right-hander Charlie Morton (9-1, 2.74 ERA) will start on Tuesday for the Astros. Morton is 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA over two career starts against the Blue Jays, with both coming last season. He has scuffled in June, going 2-1 with a 4.29 ERA while issuing 15 walks and posting six hit batsmen over 21 innings.
Toronto (37-41) will counter with left-hander Ryan Borucki, who will make his major league debut. The Blue Jays' top pitching prospect, Borucki made the climb from Class A Dunedin to Triple-A Buffalo over the past two seasons. He was 6-5 with a 3.27 ERA over 13 starts with the Bison, recording 58 strikeouts in 77 innings. Borucki was scratched from his start on Sunday.
Selected by Toronto in the 15th round of the 2012 draft, Borucki missed the 2013 season following Tommy John surgery. He slowly reclaimed his strength, logging 135 2/3 innings in 2016 and a career-high 150 1/3 innings last season. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons coyly refused to confirm published reports that Borucki would make his debut, but the secret is out.
"We'll have the young kid going (Tuesday) so hopefully he gives us some innings ," Gibbons said in response to concerns over his fatigued bullpen. "Nice way to debut."
When pressed that he accidentally revealed his hand, Gibbons quipped, "You don't know what young kid. Could be one of three or four of them."
More than 40 million people watched the NFL's two preliminaries for the Super Bowl on Sunday, a drop of more than 8 percent compared to last year's conference championship games.
The Nielsen company said an average of 43.2 million people watched the games. While that's down from the 47.1 million who watched the conference championships last year, it was a more heartening report than the NFL had gotten only a week earlier. This year's divisional championship round had seen a 16 percent dip in audience size.
Night games generally do better in the ratings than afternoon contests, but not this year. The New England-Jacksonville contest that ended around dinnertime was a better game featuring the league's marquee player in Tom Brady. That game reached 44.1 million, compared to the 42.3 million who watched Philadelphia blow out Minnesota, Nielsen said.
After seeing viewership erosion all year, the NFL will be anxious to see if that extends to the secular holiday of Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 4. The Super Bowl is the most-watched television event each year.
The NFC game boosted Fox's new medical soap, "The Resident," which reached 8.65 million viewers for its premiere episode on Sunday. Television viewers had their stethoscopes handy, with medical shows "The Good Doctor," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Chicago Med" also landing among Nielsen's 20 most popular programs last week.
With a prime-time football game, Fox won the week by averaging 10.6 million viewers. CBS had 6.9 million, ABC had 4.74 million, NBC had 4.69 million, the CW had 1.53 million, Univision had 1.47 million, ION Television had 1.3 million and Telemundo had 1.2 million.
Fox News Channel was the week's most popular cable network, averaging 2.65 million viewers in prime time. MSNBC had 1.95 million viewers, USA averaged 1.5 million, HGTV had 1.49 million and TNT had 1.46 million.
ABC's "World News Tonight" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 10.4 million viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" was second with 9.8 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.4 million.
For the week of Jan. 15-21, the top 10 shows , their networks and viewerships: NFC Championship: Minnesota vs. Philadelphia, Fox, 42.3 million; "NFC Championship Post-Game" (9:39-9:47 p.m. ET), Fox, 26.53 million; "NFC Championship Post-Game" (9:47-10:04 p.m. ET), Fox, 18.88 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 14.92 million; "Young Sheldon," CBS, 13.33 million; "NCIS," CBS, 9.88 million; "This is Us," NBC, 9.82 million; "Blue Bloods," CBS, 9.45 million; "The Good Doctor," ABC, 9.34 million; "Mom," CBS, 9.26 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is owned by 21st Century Fox. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks.

Q: c# - Object with serialized object key as part of object Currently in our project we have a certain class which has a String description.
Furthermore we have an object.
Object Foo {
    Apple: {parts: 5},
    Description:  theproblematicobject,
    ,,,,
}

Description is set up as a type string. Thus the object needs to be serialized to be assigned as the value of the description.
At the end we return foo as a JSONConvert.serializer(foo).
Upon recieve, object foo is nicely formatted JSON, but the description is still a serialized string.
Is there a combinations of functions I can use how I can serialize the problematic object (so it fits the string type) and upon deserialization on request, it becomes one nicely formatted json instead of.
Result:
"Name": "Friday, 21 October 2016 New...",
  "Description": "{\"HoursList\":[],\"EmployeeFullname\":\"..........",
  "SwipeLeftAction": null,
  "SwipeLeftDescription": null,
  "SwipeLeftColor": null,
  "SwipeRightAction": null,
  "SwipeRightDescription": null,
  "SwipeRightColor": null,
  "ClickAction": "uiweb/em......."
}

Desired:
"Name": "Friday, 21 October 2016 New...",
  "Description": {"HoursList":[],
                  "EmployeeFullname" : ".........."
                 }
  "SwipeLeftAction": null,
  "SwipeLeftDescription": null,
  "SwipeLeftColor": null,
  "SwipeRightAction": null,
  "SwipeRightDescription": null,
  "SwipeRightColor": null,
  "ClickAction": "uiweb/em......."
}

A: The type of description is a string. You can clearly see that from the JSON itself. That means you get back a string from any automatic deserializer.
If you want an object out of it, run a second JSON deserializer pass yourself on the description field.

A: Probably, you have any formatter or something other logic that do the wrong serialization. What library version do you use?
The latest JsonConvert.SerializeObject works well.
Here is a little example:
private class Foo
{
    public int Apple { get; set; }
    public Description Description { get; set; }
}

private class Description
{
    public int[] HoursList { get; set; }
}

var a = new Foo
{
    Apple = 1,
    Description = new Description
    {
        HoursList = new[] {1}
    }
};

var b = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(a);

The result is a well formatted json string:
{"Apple":1,"Description":{"HoursList":[1]}}

A: Try this:
Serialize the problematic object to an XML string instead of JSON as shown here:
Serialize an object to XML
Convert XML to JSON as shown here:
How to convert JSON to XML or XML to JSON?

Heath shows she is fit, ready to help US at Olympics
By Tales Azzoni - AP Sports Writer
New Zealand goalkeeper Erin Nayler, center, makes a save against United States' Tobin Heath during a women's Olympic football tournament match at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on Wednesday. The United States won 2-0. Heath showed no sign of the hamstring injury that had bothered her before the Rio Olympics.
Eugenio Savio | AP
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil — It didn't take long for Tobin Heath to overcome any doubts about her physical condition.
Less than 10 minutes into the U.S. women's soccer team's debut at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Heath used her trademark dribbling skills to clear defenders and set up Carli Lloyd's opening goal in a 2-0 win over New Zealand.
She continued to thrive throughout the game on Wednesday in Belo Horizonte, showing no signs of the hamstring injury that bothered her ahead of the Olympics.
"Tobin was definitely a game-changer," United States forward Alex Morgan said. "She stepped up huge."
After making the well-placed cross for Lloyd's ninth-minute header, Heath also helped set up the play that led to Morgan's goal early in the second half. Heath dominated at the left wing and posed a constant threat to the New Zealand defense with her dynamic ball skills and great speed.
"I'm just excited because hopefully I can continue on that," the 28-year-old Heath said. "I just want to get better along with the team. I think we have another level on us and I'm excited."
United States coach Jill Ellis was thrilled to be able to count on Heath at her best after the many doubts concerning her fitness.
"She just gives us an attacking weapon," Ellis said. "She is a box-to-box wide player, so she's just a threat with her passing game and obviously a threat individually. The other thing we get with Tobin is a player that's been there and someone who can calm us. Having players like this, that are very comfortable on the ball, helps take the steam out of an opponent."
Heath arrived for her third Olympics unsure about her condition because of an injury sustained while playing for the Portland Thorns in late June. She had been practicing well but had yet to start for the U.S. since getting hurt.
"I think I was fortunate enough to get in a number of practices," she said. "The sport staff really helped me out to get me to feel good going into this game."
Heath scored a goal in last year's World Cup final, when the Americans defeated Japan 5-2 for its third world title. She was in the team that won the gold medal at the last two Olympics.
"Each Olympics is different," said Heath, one of the team's most experienced players after the retirement of Abby Wambach and Lauren Holiday following last year's world title in Canada. "Especially being here in Brazil, I think it's very special for us to play as a football player."
Seeking a fifth Olympic gold, the United States will play France on Saturday. The French beat Colombia 4-0 in the second Group G game at the Mineirao Stadium on Wednesday. The Americans finish group play against Colombia on Tuesday in the jungle city of Manaus.

The Web of Violence
What Is Dehumanization, Anyway?
Dehumanization has been in the news a lot—understand it and how to fight it.
When you see the president or other politicians use terms like "animals" or, even worse, "infestation" (a term usually reserved for insects), they are engaging in dehumanization. People use dehumanization to justify greed, violence, and abuse. Although dehumanization is most associated with right-wing nationalism, others sometimes use dehumanizing language, too.
article continues after advertisement
Dehumanization is one of eight forms of "moral disengagement" described by the psychologist Albert Bandura. Humans are capable of terrible crimes, and civilization has developed ways to inhibit aggression. However, we have not eliminated violence, in part because of techniques for creating (false) excuses and justifications for immoral behavior. All moral disengagement techniques are tricks to get people to accept behaviors that they would otherwise immediately recognize as unethical and unfair. For example, assuming most people are not big fans of child abuse, dehumanization and other moral disengagement strategies are used to trick people into accepting abuse of some children. The manipulators do it to secure power or financial gain.
Dehumanization involves redefining the targets of prejudice and violence by making them seem less human (that is, less civilized or less sentient) than other people. The classic strategy for this is to use terms like "animals" and "vermin." Referring to people as "illegals" is also dehumanizing. You'll see dehumanization at work in most large-scale atrocities or genocides committed by governments, armies, or terrorists. The main purpose is to get people to accept or even engage in behaviors that they know are wrong.
Dehumanization is not limited to political issues, however. Any time someone reduces a human being to a single characteristic, especially a negative one, they are dehumanizing. "Alcoholic," "addict," "diabetic," and "schizophrenic" all rob people of the full complexity of their lives and reduce them to a symptom or disorder. Even many self-professed humanitarians used dehumanizing (and inaccurate) terms like "superpredator" in the crime scare of the 1990s. All slurs (insults based on race, gender, sexual orientation, health status or other characteristic) are also dehumanizing.
Other Moral Disengagement Strategies
Victim-blaming ("You made me do it!") is a favorite strategy of many perpetrators. Like dehumanization, victim-blaming works by trying to taint and diminish the target of the violence, instead of focusing on the perpetrator as the actual source of wrong-doing.
Some moral disengagement techniques involve pretending that immoral acts are not really bad. Euphemistic labeling is popular with governments, such as when they refer to "collateral damage" instead of the slaughter of civilians, or "tender age shelters" for imprisoning infants and toddlers. Moral justification tries to re-frame the action as a moral good (such as, "The ends justified the means"), while advantageous comparison introduces a moral relativism where you don't have to meet your own standards of goodness, you only have to be better than your enemy ("What they do is much worse"). This latter one has sometimes led people to fight violence with violence, but nonviolent resistance is not only more ethical but also more successful. Distortion of consequences denies that the actions were harmful. For example, when infants and children were taken from their parents, some officials pretended that this was not harmful as long as they were being fed. Just because people survive mistreatment does not mean they were not harmed by it.
Displacement of responsibility, such as claiming they were just following orders, and diffusion of responsibility, where people justify their actions by saying other people do it too, are forms of moral disengagement designed to minimize personal responsibility for immoral actions. Mob behavior is partly caused by these forces, for example when normally law-abiding people loot stores after blackouts or natural disasters. However, the most problematic versions of this are when soldiers, law enforcement officers, or other authority figures use their legal authority to abuse the public.

The Golden Rule: The Opposite of Dehumanization
The opposite of dehumanization is empathy and respect, as perhaps best expressed by the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Some version of that belief is found in virtually all world religions. The Golden Rule is as humanizing as it gets, by calling for everyone to give others the same treatment that you would like to get yourself. The Golden Rule means that there should be no us-them thinking—that all humans, or in some philosophies all living beings, are part of "us."
Causes of Dehumanization and Moral Disengagement
There's less research on the causes of moral disengagement (versus how moral disengagement is a cause of violence and prejudice), but there are some well-established pathways.
The first is manipulation, political or otherwise. In some circumstances, it does not take much to tip people into us-versus-them tribalism.
Second, dehumanization is a component of narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders. Many people with these personality disorders cannot appreciate that other people have inner lives like their own. They are the stars in their own movie, and the rest of us are just props. Fortunately, these cases are relatively rare, they can be dangerous if they get a platform to manipulate others.
Dehumanization can also be part of the cycle of violence. People who were mistreated as children can wall themselves off as a defense against that pain (physical and psychological). Sometimes, what helps abuse victims survive childhood becomes a handicap when they reach adulthood. They may be afraid of experiencing feelings about other victims because that could open the floodgates to all of their bottled-up feelings.
How Can Dehumanization Be Prevented or Reduced?
Another way of thinking about dehumanization is that some people have under-developed skills of empathy and perspective taking, and when you think about it that way, it suggests solutions.
Most of us can become more empathic. For children, many programs improve social and emotional learning (SEL). We now recognize the value of "emotional intelligence" for adults too, and that emotional intelligence can be learned later in life.
In cases related to PTSD, interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or mindfulness can help people handle their feelings and create more space for empathy.
Milgram's famous study on obedience also suggests ways to weaken the diffusion of responsibility. Although many participants could be compelled to give high electrical shocks to a "student" (actually a confederate who was not really getting shocked), it has been noted less often that it was not that easy to get them to do it. For example, if they saw the impact on the victim, or only had indirect exposure to the authority figure (such as receiving instructions over a phone or intercom), these factors greatly reduced their obedience. This is one reason why journalism is so important, because it helps people see what is really going on.
Most importantly, as Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
You can't fight dehumanization with dehumanization.
For those of you who are horrified by the dehumanization that has led to children being kept in cages at the border or terrorists mowing down civil rights advocates, it is important to not let that horror slip into dehumanization. For example, some elements of the Antifa movement are also using moral disengagement to justify harassing people. The border patrol agents who are ripping children from parents and the neo-Nazi sympathizers who are advocating for racism are human, too. We can call out their behaviors without calling them "monsters." Their actions might be hateful, greedy, violent, or maybe even monstrous, but they are actions that are being committed by people. Some of them may be victims themselves, others may have grown up in families where they were taught to hate. There are ways to make a bigot, but they are still people, and recognizing their humanity will be essential to reducing dehumanization. If we want a more humane society, we cannot engage in violence and harassment ourselves.
There are many specific action steps that can help you become a humanizing force in your community.
1) Do not use dehumanizing language when you criticize others, including people with loathsome political views or who perpetrate terrible crimes. In this article, I made sure that I refer to loathsome views or hateful behaviors and do not call people "monsters" or "Neanderthals" or other terms that suggest they are not human.
2) Use questions or statements to draw out empathic responses. Except for a few people with extreme narcissism or sociopathy, most people are capable of empathy. Try statements such as, "I can only imagine how I'd feel if those were my children," or "Would you be able to rip a screaming child from her mother?" Some all-purpose statements for promoting empathy include "I try to imagine what it would be like to walk a mile in their shoes," or "I always try to find common ground with others," or "I think we all want the same basic things in life." You may get some defensive instead of empathic responses, but if you can get even one person to recognize others' humanity, that would be an important accomplishment.
If you want to engage more deeply, I recommend the podcast episode, "The Talk" by Charles Duhigg, which covers a 3-step process. First, validate the person (not the attitude or behavior), or, in other words, humanize them. Second, name the issue and express some curiosity about the other person's thinking on the issue. Third, tell a personal story about how you developed your own (loving and respectful) position.
3) Avoid posting unfiltered clips of people making dehumanizing claims. Several of my friends have posted clips on social media from dehumanizing pundits with comments such as "Can you believe this???" or "This is insane!!!" It is good to share and post analyses of events on social media, but it is problematic to re-post clips directly from racist or misogynistic sources. You do not want to support these websites with advertising income from clicking and sharing.
Also, not everyone views these clips through the same lens, and you may be inadvertently creating a "backlash" by showing people achieving national media coverage by espousing dehumanizing ideas. This is the same kind of contagion that can lead to increases in school shootings and suicides after media coverage.
The news media is still wrestling with this challenge, but in this new world where even the most despicable views are easily accessed online, we all need to learn how to cope.
4) Remember that the only true way to raise yourself up is by lifting up others, not running them down. Most people recognize the neediness and insecurity behind negative comments that range from petty to fully dehumanizing. Strong people do not need to "punch down" to feel good about themselves. Attacking infants and children is always punching down for adults, but so is attacking anyone who is less privileged than you are. The more authority and power you have, the more care you need to exercise in criticizing others.
5) Be aware of—and speak up about—hidden biases in your work or other settings. Are you and your colleagues modeling inclusiveness? For example, I recently attended a research conference on families where every single invited speaker was white. As a result, there was little consideration of social and cultural differences in families, such as the importance of extended family and the percentage of multi-generational households. We need to do more to be sure that the full spectrum of humanity is represented in all settings.
I mentioned this afterward to the conference organizers, and admittedly that was kind of a tense interaction, but one awkward interaction is a small price to pay for less dehumanization. It also made me realize that I should have done more homework to learn about the program before agreeing to be a speaker.
These are just a few ideas. If you have others, please leave them in the comments! Sometimes, the world can seem overwhelming, but there are ways to counteract dehumanizing forces and you can make a difference by being a force for humanism in your own community.

Walking through downtown Old City, Philadelphia last Friday night – I became quite mesmerized by a small-scale group of Karen Freedman's paintings I discovered at Muse Gallery's 2012 Invitational. Freedman works entirely in encaustic, the process of working that incorporates warmed beeswax and powdered pigments into compositions, which are sculpted into definitive geometric forms; in Freedman's case, these pieces are crafted into highly refined, decorative repetitions of form on wood panels. Ruche 0399 (encaustic on panel, 12″ x 12″, 2011) is a prime example of this artist's ability to create movement across the board while only using a fairly muted palette of indigo blue, ochre and lavender, while red triangular reflecting points are carefully placed around the square "box" of the piece. The ground color of beeswax appears to unite all of the geometry together, as well as the multiple-curving, alpha-fading rectangles/parallelograms that Freedman uses in her background to inspire the movement of objects around the piece.
That same focus of movement by repeating parallelograms as a consistent background can be found in Ruche 0391 (encaustic on panel, 12″ x 12″, 2011). It's quite clever, and as a follower of decorative patterning in many varied art or craft forms, a viewer can be quite "pulled in" to the tide of a Karen Freedman work. In an interview with artist Lynette Haggard, Freedman states that she initially studied Metals/Jewelry Design in Philadelphia as an undergraduate, before studying painting additionally at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA). One cannot help but notice and associate historic patterning of metalwork and jewelry with the decorative patterning and movement found particularly in these Freedman pieces.
Karen Freedman is one of twenty-two artists exhibiting this month, at Muse Gallery, August 1st through August 26th, located at 52 N. 2nd Street in downtown Philadelphia, PA.
I enjoyed reading your post very much. What intricate work! I must admit that I'm not a fan of geometric abstraction but I find these really intriguing. Thanks so much for writing about this. Thanks also for your kind comments about my recent paintings — I really value your ideas.
I agree – Karen's work is quite intricate and it's a shame that pixels just do not quite communicate how intriguing these paintings appeared to me in the gallery. Just as I am drawn to these pieces for their smaller scale – I'm equally enjoying your new smaller paintings, especially the 6″x6″ pieces. It's amazing what you're doing with the limited palette you've given yourself in these new paintings. Thanks so much for your comments and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work, Anita!

INSIDE BRITISH VOGUE PART02
In the second and final part, almost an hour-lenght behind the scnenes of British Vogue, Richard Macer discovers a world of deception at the heart of the fashion bible. 2016 is the centenary year of the British magazine and a whole host of star-studded events have been lined up to commemorate the year, including a huge exhibition of Vogue photography at the National Portrait Gallery, a festival of fashion, a bumper centenary issue and a gala dinner with guests including Kim Kardashian and Samantha Cameron.
British Vogue has lots of glamorous rising stars like fashion features director Sarah Harris and fashion news editor Julia Hobbs, but at the helm of British Vogue are two women who have been in charge for a quarter of a century. Alexandra Shulman, the editor-in-chief, and fashion director Lucinda Chambers have been making decisions which affect the wardrobe choices of British women for the last three decades. What will happen to the magazine when they eventually decide to leave? And will Vogue still be a publication in its current form in a few years time, with social media dramatically changing the way people consume fashion?
Halfway through filming this auspicious year, Macer gets a phone call from the Vogue press office that dramatically changes the whole direction of the film. As Richard speculates on whether British Vogue's centenary will be Alexandra's swansong, events start to unfold which demonstrate that far from being about to retire, Alexandra has just pulled off a spectacular journalistic coup right under Richard's nose.

Tucker torches 'very, very sad' Brian Stelter for 'blithely' firing 'little non-white servant' over the jab
December 3, 2021 | Frank Webster | Print Article
On Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Wednesday, host Tucker Carlson presented newly-discovered audio of CNN's Brian Stelter explaining that he recently had to fire the family nanny for refusing to get vaccinated.
Stelter in his own words, which can be heard on the accompanying video above:
Me and my wife both work full-time, we both make enough money to have a nanny during the day in New York, and our nanny refuses to get vaccinated and so we are parting ways with her.
And it was very, very sad. We thought after six months of seeing the vaccines are all good and everybody's is fine that she would come around.
Tucker played the audio while a hilarious chyron was displayed on screen.
"CNN's NASTY EUNUCH GETS RID OF HIS NANNY"
The host wondered exactly how sad was the CNN media critic?
"The headline here is that CNN's media critic dismissed, blithely dismissed his little non-white servant because she didn't obey and that was quote 'very, very sad,'" Tucker said after playing the audio clip.
"Well, how sad? How sad was he, exactly? Did he pay her health insurance until she finds a new job? What is she doing to eat and pay her rent now that she's been dismissed by CNN's 'very sad' media critic? We really don't care what happens to our servants, do we, when they disobey?"
"So we asked CNN today. Of course, we got no answer at all, which is itself an answer, which is 'We don't know. We don't care.' Tells you a lot," Carlson added.
Stelter's two children are both under the age of five and unable to get the vaccine if their parents wanted them to, and presumably they would as Stelter's wife, NY1 reporter Jamie Stelter is herself reportedly immunocompromised.
The nanny remains anonymous so it is unclear how Carlson knows that she is "non-white."
Stelter, who is always eager to blurt out opinions in order to make a headline, suggested on Monday that recently suspended host Chris Cuomo might be back on the air as soon as January 2022. Cuomo was relieved of duty at the network when it was revealed that a major conflict of interest had developed over the younger Cuomo running interference for his brother, ex-NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal at the time.
Brotherly love and loyalty notwithstanding, doing so as a CNN host reporting on the scandal could certainly be considered journalistic malpractice, though it doesn't appear that anyone has ever accused "Fredo" of being a journalist.
Stelter offered his prediction on the Cuomo situation.
"We're heading into a holiday season. I think it's possible he will be on the bench for several weeks. It's possible he'll be back in January," he said during an appearance on the network's "New Day."
A CNN spokesperson backpedaled on Stelter's comments, telling Fox News, "Anything is possible but it's all speculative until the review is complete. It's not even been 24 hrs."
Speculation abounds, however, that Cuomo won't be back at CNN, and that both Jake Tapper and Brian Stelter are chomping at the bit for the $6M-a-year primetime gig.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In a recent open trial we have shown the efficacy of long term intermittent administration of a poorly absorbable antibiotic (rifaximin) in obtaining symptomatic relief in uncomplicated diverticular disease of the colon. The aim of this double-blind placebo-controlled trial was to test our previous observations. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-eight outpatients with symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease were treated with fibre supplementation (glucomannan 2 g/day) plus rifaximin 400 mg b.d. for 7 days every month (84 patients), or with glucomannan 2 g/day plus placebo two tablets b.d. for 7 days every month (84 patients). Clinical evaluation was performed at admission and at three-month intervals for 12 months. RESULTS: After 12 months, 68.9% of the patients treated with rifaximin were symptom-free or mildly symptomatic, compared to 39.5% in the placebo group (P = 0.001). Symptoms such as bloating and abdominal pain or discomfort were primarily affected by antibiotic treatment when compared with placebo (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Rifaximin appears to be of some advantage in obtaining symptomatic relief in diverticular disease of the colon when compared with fibre supplementation alone.

Q: View color transition onScroll in Android I am trying to transition few of my view colors from 'color1' to 'color2' on up scroll and vice versa on down scroll.
The views are inside a CoordinateLayout and Scroll Listener implementation is inside a Custom Behaviour.
Current implementation UpScroll:
    int balanceLabelTextColor = Color.rgb(
            (int) (Color.red(color1) * magicFactor),
            (int) (Color.green(color1) * magicFactor),
            (int) (Color.blue(color1) * magicFactor)
    );
    balanceLabel.setTextColor(balanceLabelTextColor);

Current implementation DownScroll:
    int balanceLabelTextColor = Color.rgb(
            (int) (Color.red(color2) * magicFactor),
            (int) (Color.green(color2) * magicFactor),
            (int) (Color.blue(color2) * magicFactor)
    );
    balanceLabel.setTextColor(balanceLabelTextColor);

'magicFactor' takes value from (0,1) depending on scroll position.
This works fine when you only scroll up or down. The transition flip flops when you change the direction of scroll midway from up to down and vice versa.
Was looking for an implementation which takes both 'color1' and 'color2' and produce intermediate values for a smooth color transition.
Thanks.

A: Sounds like you're looking for something like ColorUtils.blendARGB.

Blend between two ARGB colors using the given ratio.
A blend ratio of 0.0 will result in color1, 0.5 will give an even
  blend, 1.0 will result in color2.

@ColorInt
public static int blendARGB(@ColorInt int color1, @ColorInt int color2,
        @FloatRange(from = 0.0, to = 1.0) float ratio) {
    final float inverseRatio = 1 - ratio;
    float a = Color.alpha(color1) * inverseRatio + Color.alpha(color2) * ratio;
    float r = Color.red(color1) * inverseRatio + Color.red(color2) * ratio;
    float g = Color.green(color1) * inverseRatio + Color.green(color2) * ratio;
    float b = Color.blue(color1) * inverseRatio + Color.blue(color2) * ratio;
    return Color.argb((int) a, (int) r, (int) g, (int) b);
}

Is serial number for Panny TH42PX60B on packaging?
Discussion in 'Plasma TVs Forum' started by chunkymunky, Dec 24, 2006.
In my haste to wall mount my new Panny plasma I forgot to note down the serial number from the back of the set. As I've sorted all the cables etc I don't want to take it off again unless I absolutely have to. I've looked on the box and there is a bar code with the model number on and another with what I hope is the s/n. It starts FS-66***** - is that it? Need it for my warranty.
Many Thanks and Merry Xmas.
Wow what a set also, no tinges or snakes and picture is way better than my old Philips 32PF9986 LCD replaced due to it's poor connectivity.

Q: Correct place for private module to be used by multiple executables Two executables' sources, foo.rs and bar.rs, are located in src/bin.
Private common functionality exists in src/bin/common.rs.
foo.rs and bar.rs include this functionality with:
mod common;
use common::{Bish, Bash, Bosh};

This works, but src/bin/common.rs doesn't feel like the right path for something which isn't going to be built into an executable.
Moving common.rs to src or src/lib stops foo.rs and bar.rs from seeing it.
Where should I put common.rs and how do I then import it?

A: A common approach to store shared parts at lib.rs and use these in binaries. Its usage, though, is a bit different than simply mod + use. In fact, library is a separate crate, so you need to access it via crate name (defined in Cargo.toml).
Cargo.toml:
[package]
name = "crate-name"
# ... the rest

src/bin/foo.rs:
fn main() {
  crate_name::fun();
}

src/lib.rs:
pub fn fun() {}

A: example
├── Cargo.toml
└── src
    ├── bin
    │   ├── bar.rs
    │   └── foo.rs
    ├── common.rs
    └── lib.rs

foo.rs and bar.rs:
#[path = "../common.rs"]
mod common;
use common::{Bish, Bash, Bosh};

also see: How can I use a module from outside the src folder in a binary project, such as for integration tests or benchmarks?

Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA) is a form of spinocerebellar ataxia inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. ADCA is a genetically inherited condition that causes deterioration of the nervous system leading to disorder and a decrease or loss of function to regions of the body.

Degeneration occurs at the cellular level and in certain subtypes results in cellular death. Cellular death or dysfunction causes a break or faulty signal in the line of communication from the central nervous system to target muscles in the body. When there is impaired communication or a lack of communication entirely, the muscles in the body do not function correctly. Muscle control complications can be observed in multiple balance, speech, and motor or movement impairment symptoms. ADCA is divided into three types and further subdivided into subtypes known as SCAs (spinocerebellar ataxias).

Symptoms and signs

Symptoms typically are onset in the adult years, although, childhood cases have also been observed. Common symptoms include a loss of coordination which is often seen in walking, and slurred speech. ADCA primarily affects the cerebellum, as well as, the spinal cord. Some signs and symptoms are:

Episodes of altered level of consciousness
Neurological regression
Multi-system involvement
Movement disorders.
Cerebellar dysfunction

Genetics

In terms of the genetics of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia 11 of 18 known genes are caused by repeated expansions in corresponding proteins, sharing the same mutational mechanism. SCAs can be caused by conventional mutations or large rearrangements in genes that make glutamate and calcium signaling, channel function, tau regulation and mitochondrial activity or RNA alteration.

The mechanism of Type I is not completely known, however, Whaley, et al. suggest the polyglutamine product is toxic to the cell at a protein level, this effect may be done by transcriptional dysregulation and disruption of calcium homeostasis which causes apoptosis to occur earlier.

Diagnosis
In diagnosing autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia the individuals clinical history or their past health examinations, a current physical examination to check for any physical abnormalities, and a genetic screening of the patients genes and the genealogy of the family are done.  The large category of cerebellar ataxia is caused by a deterioration of neurons in the cerebellum, therefore magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to detect any structural abnormality such as lesions which are the primary cause of the ataxia. Computed tomography (CT) scans can also be used to view neuronal deterioration, but the MRI provides a more accurate and detailed picture.

ADCA types
Currently there are 27 subtypes have been identified: SCA1-SCA4, SCA8, SCA10, SCA12- SCA14, SCA15/SCA16, SCA17- SCA23, SCA25, SCA27, SCA28, SCA32, SCA34- SCA37, autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia and dentatorubral pallidoluysian atrophy .

Type 1
Type I ADCA is characterized by different symptoms of ataxia as well as other conditions that are dependent on the subtype. Type 1 ADCA is divided into 3 subclasses based on pathogenesis of the subtypes each contain.

 Subtype 1 -subtypes in the first subclass are caused by CAG nucleotide repeats in the DNA, which code for the amino acid glutamine. This glutamine is toxic to the cell on the level of proteins and has degenerative effects. Within the first subclass of Type 1 are SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA17, and DRPLA. This first subclass is the most common of Type 1 ADCAs with SCA3 being the most common subtype of all of Type 1. SCA3, Machado-Joseph disease, is the most common because the mutation repeats more than 56 times while the regular length is around 13 to 31.
 Subtype 2 -the second subclass of Type 1 ADCA is also caused by the same nucleotide repeats but instead in RNA and in a region that does not code for proteins. Gene expression is affected instead of proteins in subtype two SCAs because of this. Subtype 2 contains SCA8, SCA10, and SCA12.
 Subtype 3 -the third subclass of Type 1 ADCA is caused by different mutations and deletions in genes. It comprises SCA13, SCA14, SCA15, SCA16, SCA27, and SCA28.

Type 2/3
Type II ADCA is composed of SCA7 and syndromes associated with pigmentary maculopathies. SCA7 is a disease that specifically displays retinal degeneration, along with the common degeneration of the cerebellum. Moving further into SCA7's pathology, a similar genetic process is described, while the function of ATXN7 (an ataxin gene) is much like a component of the SAGA complex. The SAGA complex uses two histone-modifying techniques to regulate transcription. These activities are the Gcn5 histone acetyltransferase and the Usp22 deubiquitinase. Mutant ATXN7 in HAT activity causes an increase in activity, which was reported from an in-vivo analysis in the retina. There are also studies that show a loss in activity when human ATXN7 in yeast was used.
The SCA7 autosomal-dominant inheritance pattern is similar to a mutant ATXN5-induced gain in Gcn5 HAT. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 15 has been classified as an ADCA Type III as it has been noted to have postural and action tremor in addition to cerebellar ataxia. Additionally, spinocerebellar ataxia type 20 (SCA20) is organized in ADCA III that often exhibits disease-like symptoms at an earlier age, sometime starting at fourteen years old.

Treatments
In terms of a cure there is currently none available, however for the disease to manifest itself, it requires mutant gene expression. Manipulating the use of protein homeostasis regulators can be therapeutic agents, or a treatment to try and correct an altered function that makes up the pathology is one current idea put forth by Bushart, et al. There is some evidence that for SCA1 and two other polyQ disorders that the pathology can be reversed after the disease is underway.  There is no effective treatments that could alter the progression of this disease, therefore care is given, like occupational and physical therapy for gait dysfunction and speech therapy.

Epidemiology
In terms of frequency, it is estimated at 2 per 100,000, it has identified in different regions of the world. Some clusters of certain types of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia reach a prevalence of 5 per 100,000.
