The marriage of reason & squalor
No full textIn his first work of fiction, artist Jake Chapman slashes the romantic novel down to bare bone and constructs his own disfigured version from the slaughtered remains.Chlamydia Love is gifted her very own tropical island by her fiancé, where she develops a grudging adoration for its real owner, the enigmatic bestselling author, Helmut Mandragorass. A battle between her fiancé and Helmut ensues, for ownership of the island and ultimately for the love of Chlamydia.This mercilessly subversive tale is illustrated by Chlamydia's watercolours entitled Visions of Morass, images inspired by the island as she struggles with her feelings of agony and ecstasy.<br/

Love and Suspense in Paris Noir: Navigating the Seamy World of Jake Lamar's Rendezvous Eighteenth
No full text“… I find this project fascinating, as it seeks to accomplish what Lamar attempts in his novel, that is, take a diverse audience on a journey not through the famed City of Light per se, but through another Paris, its underside.”

"Thompson mines her digital essay with Amine’s purposeful intervention. She embeds links to research that complements the author that she studies. Lastly, Thompson’s digital essay reveals the multi-ethnic and geographically alert awareness. There is a crucial need for this type of academic digital essays in which authors write in an easily lucid manner."

Taking readers on an itinerant journey through Jake Lamar’s novel Rendezvous Eighteenth, Tyechia Thompson, practitioner of Black Paris, explores narratives of African-American expatriates in Lamar’s life, his Paris, and his work. Unfolding in six different paths, this interactive literary analysis pulls together interviews with Jake Lamar and relevant videos, showing Lamar’s chosen setting of the Eighteenth Arrondissement and treatment of race as a departure from contemporary fiction of its type. Introducing the “different side of Paris” through narrator Ricky Jenks, Lamar centers his novel on the lesser known parts of the city, enabling direct challenges to migration narratives of inclusion and racially utopic France. Building a new layer of analysis in each path, Thompson demonstrates a flexible approach to text, showing the complexities of Rendezvous Eighteenth in both form and content.

Pre-Biblical and Old Testament rape law parallels: recurring androcentric themes in historic Biblical text
No full textRape legislation in ancient Near Eastern texts is very slanted in respect to a pervasive androcentric ideology that drives the punitive outcomes. Unfortunately, evidence shows the lives of women in terms of their perceived societal value are affected (often negatively) in regard to their social status; regardless of region or period. Women did not wield much social power in ancient times and the laws demonstrate resolutions for prescribed transgressions that neglected to include any consideration for the viewpoint of women; who were the primary victims of the rape offense. As a result, women suffered and were historically antagonized by the these laws which failed to protect them. This research will illuminate the disparities by examining the laws in various regions of the period and challenge the underlying themes.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jake J. Jone

Incorporation of model accuracy in gravitational-wave Bayesian inference
No full textInferring the properties of colliding black holes from gravitational wave observations is subject to systematic errors arising from modelling uncertainties. Although the accuracy of each model can be calculated through comparison to theoretical expectations from general relativity, Bayesian analyses are yet to incorporate this information. As such, a mixture model is typically used where results obtained with different gravitational wave models are combined with either equal weight or based on their relative Bayesian evidence. In this work we present a new method for incorporating the accuracy of several models into gravitational wave Bayesian analyses. By analysing simulated gravitational wave signals in zero noise, we show that our technique uses 30% less computational resources and more faithfully recovers the true parameters than existing techniques. We further apply our method to a real gravitational wave signal and, when assuming the binary black hole hypothesis, demonstrated that the source of GW191109_010717 has unequal component masses, with a 69% probability for the primary being above the maximum black hole mass from stellar collapse. We envisage that this method will become an essential tool for ground-based gravitational wave astronomy

As such, a mixture model is typically used where results obtained with different gravitational-wave models are combined with either equal weight, or based on their relative Bayesian evidence. In this work we present a novel method to incorporate the accuracy of multiple models in gravitational-wave Bayesian analyses. By analysing simulated gravitational-wave signals in zero-noise, we show that our technique uses 30% less computational resources, and more faithfully recovers the true parameters than existing techniques.
