approxposterior: Approximate Posterior Distributions in Python
No full textThis package is a Python implementation of Bayesian Active Learning for Posterior Estimation by Kandasamy et al. (2015) and Adaptive Gaussian process approximation for Bayesian inference with expensive likelihood functions by Wang & Li (2017). These algorithms allows the user to compute approximate posterior probability distributions using computationally expensive forward models by training a Gaussian Process (GP) surrogate for the likelihood evaluation. The algorithms leverage the inherent uncertainty in the GP's predictions to identify high-likelihood regions in parameter space where the GP is uncertain. The algorithms then run the forward model at these points to compute their likelihood and re-trains the GP to maximize the GP's predictive ability while minimizing the number of forward model evaluations. Check out Bayesian Active Learning for Posterior Estimation by Kandasamy et al. (2015) and Adaptive Gaussian process approximation for Bayesian inference with expensive likelihood functions by Wang & Li (2017) for in-depth descriptions of the respective algorithms.</p
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/

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

A Cold Civil War? French Historian Pap Ndiaye and American novelist Jake Lamar discuss racial turmoil in the USA and its echoes in France
No full textOn February 1, 2022, the American Library in Paris launched its Black History Month program with a conversation between two well-known figures in France’s international Black community. Pap Ndiaye is a historian of French and Senegalese descent. As a professor at Sciences Po, he popularized the study of race and identity in French academia, most notably with his book La Condition noire. In 2021, he was appointed direc- tor of the National Museum of the History of Immigration in Paris. Jake Lamar is an African American writer who has lived in Paris since 1993. He is the prize-winning author of a memoir, seven novels and a play and teaches creative writing at Sciences Po. What follows are edited excerpts of their exchange
