The 19th-century French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot is best remembered as a teacher of William James and Sigmund Freud, and also for the haunting, fascinating photographs he collected of patients in various states of symptomatic mental distress. Like other important figures in the history of medicine, he is a complicated figure in retrospect, at once a charlatan and a pioneer, a monster and a modernizer.
"Augustine," Alice Winocour's vivid and feverish debut feature, allows all of these possibilities to hover before arriving at the conclusion that Charcot was only human. Played by Vincent Lindon with somber reserve, he is shown working late into the night, chain-smoking as he studies cross-sections of brain tissue in search of clues.
At home with his wife (a regal Chiara Mastroianni), he worries about how his research will be received by the scientific establishment and the social elite. At his clinic in the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, he is an imperious embodiment of male authority, viewed by the female patients with a mixture of terror and reverence. A newly arrived young woman is told to pray not to God, but to Charcot.
She is Augustine (Soko), a young, illiterate housemaid who has been dispatched to Salpêtrière after a seizure has paralyzed one side of her face and ruined a fancy dinner party. In the early scenes her quiet terror and the brown, brooding light give "Augustine" a scary, gothic feeling. Ms. Winocour deftly evokes primal terrors of captivity and cruelty, and also the erotic fascination that lingers around such fears. You wonder if the film will resemble a lost Brontë novel or "The Story of O."
Neither, as it turns out, though it is essentially a dark romance of sex and power. Augustine becomes a special case for Charcot, which means that she participates in his public demonstrations of therapeutic technique. These are vital for Charcot's legitimacy, and his financing, but they are also theatrical spectacles involving the hypnosis of a naked woman for an audience of men. There is lusty applause afterward, and reviews run in the newspaper.
But showmanship does not undermine Charcot's seriousness. He believes he is on the brink of a crucial insight into the psychological and neurological roots of hysteria (in the language of the day), but the knowledge is just out of his reach. He is also less and less able to suppress an attraction to Augustine.
Her feelings about him are complicated too. Ms. Winocour is not inclined to turn "Augustine" into a neatly moralized fable of a predator and his victim. Rather, the film is what might be called a melodrama of transference, one of a number of recent movies exploring the treacherous dynamic between a fallible therapist and a disturbed patient. "A Dangerous Method," David Cronenberg's film about Carl Jung and Sabina Spielrein (with Freud hovering in the background) is one notable recent example. Others might include "The Master" and "The Skin I Live In," Pedro Almodóvar's supremely creepy medical film noir.
Like those movies, "Augustine" is a love story, but not in the conventional sense and not only because the romance violates an obvious ethical taboo. The affair that erupts between Charcot and his patient goes against the protocols of treatment, but it — or at least the underlying current of emotion — is also part of how the treatment works. In the end of all these films, it is the healers who suffer, becoming more helpless and tormented as their vulnerable patients surrender, seduce and fight back.
Everything depends on the subtlety of the direction and the charisma of the performances. "Augustine" is intellectually satisfying partly because it communicates its ideas at the level of feeling, through the uncanny power of Soko's face and body. A well-known French pop singer, she is as grave and luminous as a silent-film star. Augustine slowly emerges from her cocoon of ignorance and fear, and we see her acquiring self-knowledge and tools for survival, and in the process our pity turns to awe.

Solar panels spark row between community centre and council
PUBLISHED: 17:12 07 February 2019 | UPDATED: 17:14 07 February 2019
Paul Harrison
Volunteers who want a community centre to save money by going green have hit out at council bosses - for blocking its bid for solar panels.
Norwich City Council insists it has not completely ruled out panels at the Marlpit Community Centre - which it owns - but is concerned the scheme put forward could saddle the centre and council with maintenance bills.
That is despite City Hall running a Solar Together Scheme, which encourages people to get solar panels for their homes.,
The volunteers who run the Hellesdon Road centre said EEC Solar, which runs the Solar Together scheme for the council, had offered to fit panels.
The committee at the centre, leased from the council, said the system would cost £9,600 and pay for itself in eight years.
If they were installed in time to benefit from the government feed in tariff, which ends in March, it would generate nearly £11,000 over 20 years, they said.
However, Lucy Galvin, chair of the Marlpit Community Centre, was told by City Hall officers they would not allow the panels.
She raised the issue at a recent city council meeting, where she asked for help to get the panels installed before the Feed In Tariff scheme ends.
Matthew Packer, cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said it would not be possible to assess the centre before that deadline.
He said "Some concerns have been raised as to whether installation will provide savings or will lead to possible liabilities to community organisations as licence holders and to the council as landlord. If organisations wish to install them, they would be liable for costs and the ongoing maintenance."
Mr Packer said centres had been targeted by vandals and, if panels were damaged, replacement costs would be "excessive".
He said he would be happy to meet Mrs Galvin to explore alternative options and said a way to install panels could yet be found.
Mrs Galvin said: "Since asking the question we have obtained a meeting with officers and are hopeful that a solution can be found so that the centre can profit from this deal and also save the carbon. We will keep working on this."
She said the centre's committee were content maintenance costs were manageable and were prepared to take on full liability.

This is a curated list of awesome functional programming code and learning resources for JavaScript. As a multi-paradigm programming language, JavaScript can be written in many styles. With these resources we want to help you to make better use of JavaScript's support for writing programs in a functional way.
Functional programming is a style of programming which models computations as the evaluation of expressions. Contrast this with imperative programming where programs are composed of statements which change global state when executed. Functional programming typically avoids using mutable state and favors side-effect free functions and immutable data instead. This encourages writing composable and declarative programs that are easy to reason about.

text: The Road Safety Unit of the Ministry of Transport has recorded 213 deaths on the nation's roads since the start of the year. This represents a 13 per cent increase in fatalities over the corresponding period last year. Despite this, the Unit has projected an 11 per cent decrease in road fatalities this year when compared to 2016. Motorcyclists continue to account for the highest group of road users involved in fatal crashes at 31 per cent. Some 85 per cent of those killed were males. Westmoreland, St. Catherine, St. Andrew, and St. Ann account for 50 per cent of the overall fatalities.

FRANKLIN, Ind. (Dec. 18, 2015)-- Students and their parents filed into Franklin Community High School Friday. One by one, going back into the building they were forced to evacuate the day before when someone called in a bomb threat.
"We were in our gym taking our final and they told us to evacuate the gym and go into the auditorium to wait. After we were in the gym for about an hour and a half they told us to go to the buses and we could not get any of our stuff," said student Adam Rippy.
It actually started Monday with threats written on a bathroom stall inside of the school where there was a message in the boys room with the words "shoot up the school". On Wednesday, a similar message was found.
"It was a crude drawing of a gun and so there was no target or time identified. It was very vague," says Franklin Police Chief Tim O'Sullivan.
Franklin Community High School says they sent out an email to parents addressing this threat Wednesday. But, FOX59 spoke with several parents who say they were never notified of these incidents.
"I was shocked, we did not even get the information until yesterday," says parent Michael Rippey.
On Thursday, the third and most serious threat was reported. A caller said there was a homemade explosive device planted near the gym. A very serious situation that once again, several parents say there were not notified of.
"We did no know anything until after that phone call," says Rippey.
The school says they posted the information on their website and had also sent out an email and phone alert.
"We are going to ensure that safety reigns supreme. But, when parents try to call when they hear something about what is going on at the school, that is not helping the situation. We will get information to them as quickly as possible," says Superintendent of Franklin Community School Corporation David Clendening.
Fired up parents took to social media to vent their frustrations. They want to see the alert system improve.
"They really need to be a little more aware. More safety, more security, and maybe more police on the facility," said one parent.
There is still an ongoing investigation into the bomb threat.
School officials say they will review their response to the threats and determine if they need to make any adjustments or improvements to their alert system.

Posting this in case anyone might find it interesting.
I had noticed impractical and abysmally slow performance when tracking a huge number of files (150k) in a git-annex. In direct mode, the repo was outright unusable, but even in indirect mode, many operations where painfully slow; even operations beyond the well-known offender, «git annex findunused», e.g., the seemingly harmless «git annex info».
I also noticed that the performance was hugely improved on my (otherwise comparable) machine running btrfs, and I wondered how this might be. From previous benchmarks, I had gained the impression that ext4 and btrfs are on par, performance-wise, and you choose btrfs for the features rather than performance. Now, after trying to update my back-ups via rsync, I have had an idea how the contrast between the two machines might might be accounted for. Specifically, I noted that, after converting my 150k folder into a git-annex repo, ascertaining that the back-up is current via rsync would take ~15 minutes, where it used to take mere seconds before. This could then only be due to the demands on directory traversal introduced by the annex-layout.
Accordingly, I wanted to see whether the traversal would be something that explains the difference in performance between btrfs and ext4, so I ran a tiny benchmark, traversing the .git folder on my home drive (ext4, SATA) and the backup drive (btrfs, USB3), and I was astounded by the difference:
zardoz [ /mnt/bak/m-annex ]$ time tree .git >/dev/null
tree .git >/dev/null 14,23s user 2,78s system 24% cpu 1:09,69 total
zardoz [ ~/m-annex ]$ time tree .git >/dev/null
tree .git >/dev/null 26,40s user 0,96s system 1% cpu 23:37,94 total
While running, I peeked into the io using iotop, and observed around 500K/s during traversal on ext4 vs. 5M/s on btrfs.
While I was aquainted with the dogma that file-systems hate to have a single folder with a bazillion files, sources on the net seem to indicate that having lots and lots of sparse folders is even worse, and given the one-file-per-folder structure of the annex objects store, this would then potentially explain the heavy thrashing on ext4.
Something I am wondering now: Which operations in git-annex (or plain git) incite that sort of directory traversal? One candidate which occurred to me is «git annex unused», and the differences in performance between ext4 and btrfs are on the same order as in the above benchmark. Originally, Joey related somewhere that the search in «unused» is expensive; but if traversal is involved, it could actually be that this has even more impact than searching git history.
In any case, if anyone wants to track a very large number of files via git-annex, ext4 seems to be not the ideal file-system for this.

Here Cara Golden shares a bit about the journey of faith that led her to QuadW mi and some of how she's anticipating God's ongoing work in her life. Check it out!
Like most, I started off having no clue what I was supposed to do with my life. I have loved the ocean since I was ten years old and loved science, particularly anything having to do with marine life and their delicate habitats. So, I settled on Marine Biology at first. I was going to "save the dolphins" and scuba dive and do lots of beneficial research.
That was the goal when I started out at Auburn… seven years ago. It didn't take long, however, for me to realize the emptiness of that aspiration. From nearly the beginning of starting down this path, I failed many of the classes I took, slipped like a fish into depression, and stayed there for a while.
But in this darkness God was forcing me to ask myself hard questions: At my core, who am I? What is the deepest desire of my heart? How can I satisfy that desire? Rock bottom was where I came to terms with the breathtaking grace that is my answer to those questions, that is my calling, and that was my calling all along. At my core, I am a child of God, indebted to His Son Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit. The deepest desire of my heart is to bring other people into this same awakening, to serve them and to proclaim to them what great love I have been shown, and to see them experience the same.
Different people discover their calling in different ways, and it took me a long time to realize that is okay. After all, there was nothing wrong with my first dream—except that it wasn't my dream. It wasn't what I was meant to do. The only way that makes sense for me right now in fulfilling the deepest desire of my heart is becoming a missionary and serving among the native and indigenous people groups of our world. As a Christian and as a person who has a deep respect and admiration for culture, I have a passion to represent the Gospel in a way that maintains their rich cultural history, that it might be thus more impactful and relevant. For me, there is no better place to serve than among those from whom we have so much to learn.
This summer with QuadWmi at Riverton will be my first opportunity to really begin to live into this mission. I am eager to learn in a practical way some of the intricacies of serving among native peoples, such as the protocols of service and the challenges that they face. Further, I look forward to learning of the unique cultures of the Shoshone and Arapaho tribes, discovering the exclusive opportunities and challenges the Christian missionary faces in relationships with native groups, and building foundational relationships with their people. All in all, I eagerly anticipate this summer as one that will ignite this next stage of my journey and burn in me an even deeper passion for native and indigenous peoples.
I will, no doubt, look back on my time in Riverton as one when I first began to concretely grasp the meaning of Paul's words in I Corinthians 9:22-23 - "I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some…for the sake of the gospel."

There are certain words that we use to describe special individuals who have earned our respect -- words such as dedication and commitment.
There are certain words that we use to describe special individuals who have earned our respect -- words such as dedication and commitment.
Tonight, a dedicated and committed individual will be honored for nearly 30 years of dedication and commitment to the young people from our community. His name is John Iovino, director of student affairs at Norwich Free Academy.
Iovino has served as the NFA baseball coach for the past 29 years, including bringing a state championship to the campus in 2003. After the 2007 season, when the team went 10-11, Iovino decided to step aside.
The dinner marks the end of an impressive coaching career. But, more importantly, it recognizes Iovino's contribution to our community that far exceeds the statistics of wins and losses or championships.
His achievements are measured not in his success, but rather in the success of those young people who had the good fortune of learning from him. Iovino did more than simply pass on the skills or love of the game; he passed on the lessons of life and taught those under him how to be successful in life. In an interview with the Norwich Bulletin, he said he thought the greatest accomplishment was developing a program that had educational value to it, not just a sport where winning and losing was the end all, be all.
Not surprisingly, he doesn't take credit for that, noting that whatever success the program has achieved was because it was a team effort, not the work of any one individual. He attributes whatever personal success he might have enjoyed to a supporting family, school administration, players and the working relationship with longtime assistant Hugh Campbell and other assistants through the years.
Iovino will continue to serve in his administrative role at the school, and through that, he will no doubt continue to have a positive impact on the youth of Eastern Connecticut.
Nor will he be leaving the game completely behind, continuing to help out with youth program leagues in town, specifically the Norwich and Taftville Little Leagues as they combine into one league.
For the past 30 years, those who have known him have called him "Coach." It is a title of respect, and one that has been earned through his dedication and commitment. It's hard to imagine anyone might think of him in any other terms.
And it is no surprise tonight's recognition dinner in his honor is sold out.

To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Willson Peale, 19 August 1804
Museum Aug. 19. 1804.
Dear Sir
This morning my son Rembrandt shewed me his invention of Pens to hold a greater quantity of Ink than Pens made in the common fashion—with the hope that you will be as pleased with it as myself, I hasten to send you the enclosed Pens, and as every trifle which tends to the economizing of time must be valuable to those of industrous habits, I beleive I am in my line of duty in not delaying this communication although I should have nothing more to add to it.
I have some anxiety to know if your Polygraph performs to your liking. It was my intention to have examined it on my return from New york—but my Son Rubens says it was so exact in the touch at every moovement that he prefered sending it off.—Mr. Barnes has remited me payment.
I am once more resuming my Pensil—with the hope and belief that I can produce something better, than those Portraits which I painted formerly. My work is only for the Museum. Will you be so obliging as to use your interest with Mr. Galatine to prevail on him to sett for me?
I ought to make what additions I can of Portraits of distinguished Charactors, as this collection will in a future day be a valuable part of my Museum. I have in view the execution of one large historical picture, which perhaps may be my last work in that line. I am with much respect your freind

Create video content or not? Let us help you with one of the most painful marketing dilemmas for Doctors and Medical Practices.
So you're at that point where you are starting to delve into the world of video for the first time and you're wondering, should I start using video to market my business? The easy answer is YES!
Video content marketing
Video content marketing has now truly gained momentum. The average consumer will see or hear 3000 marketing messages a day and we all know, it's impossible for any person to pay attention to all of them at once. Video is one of the mediums most people will willingly give their attention to.
So, what is exactly is video going to do for you?
Video content survey
In a 2014 survey conducted by Demand Metric, it showed that people prefer video content to other, static types of content. The study proved that there is "no shortage of evidence that video is more engaging, enjoys greater retention and is more widely shared".
Video works for the simple reason that it's video and people like watching videos.
Some key findings of the survey showed that:
[Tweet "Over 70% of respondents claim that video performs better than other content."]
95% of this study's participants report that video, as a form of marketing and sales content, is becoming somewhat or far more important.
Effective and impactful marketing tool
While video may seem like an expensive trend that is out of your grasp, it is actually an extremely effective and impactful marketing tool, even for the smallest business. Technology is so evolved, nowadays iPhones and even iPads have the ability to record good quality video.
You can make a great marking video by using any smartphone, introducing who you are and highlighting your services and what makes your business unique – and this may very well become your best customer acquisition tool!
Our MultiMediaMakers consultants provide customised workshops to train your team so you can produce your own in-house smartphone video content in a semi-professional way.

Community in the Age of Connectivity
I am by no means anti-technology. When you take a step back to think about the things that we can do and the ease with which we can do them, technology is staggering. I can send a personal message to anyone, anywhere in the world almost instantly. The messages aren't even tied to paper or any other tangible medium. We write our words not in ink but in light, then aim them at space and know with confidence they will arrive at their destination within seconds. Whaaa? And that's just the technical side. Socially, all this allows us to stay in contact with family across the globe, receive the answers to any questions mankind has the answers to, and keep a constant stream of entertainment at our fingertips. Never has it been so easy to be independent. Or stay inside. (Seriously, watch this and notice the utter lack of personal interaction...or front porches for that matter.) There are plenty of other perfectly good technological improvements in modern society, like cars and air conditioning that I don't want to give up any time soon. However, if I am in any way concerned about society outside my door, I have to be aware of how these conveniences tend to limit my interactions with the people closest to me.
And technology is just one of the "bricks" that make up the wall between us and our neighbors. Can it be used to connect us instead? Sure, and here's a good example. But when it comes to relationships of proximity (the ones who we depend on in times of disaster or needing a cup of sugar), technology's default result is separation.
Take a look at the graphic below. Let it be food for thought. Then go enjoy a conversation with someone within walking distance.

Hartlepool boss Colin Cooper has called for his fringe men to take the opportunity presented by Jack Compton's suspension with both hands.
Cooper revealed that Compton had apologised to the squad for being sent off during the defeat of Plymouth, and the winger now faces a three-match suspension after the club opted not to appeal the suspension.
That opens the door for the likes of Anthony Sweeney and Nialle Rodney to fill in for the attack-minded Compton, who has been at the centre of plenty of Hartlepool's good work during their fantastic four-match winning run. They take on Wimbledon tonight.
"Jack has been playing really well recently but he's had a bit of a kick up the backside and hopefully it's something he can learn from," Cooper said.
"It presents an opportunity for someone else. Our squad is not massive but an opportunity is there for someone and we have always said that if someone comes in and does well it gives me and Craig and problem when Jack does come back. They have three games to show us what they can do and it's up to someone to make the most of that opportunity."
Cooper was proud of the way his players dug out a win against Plymouth, but admits that in the cold light of day they "got away" with a performance that dipped below the levels he's set his side.
"We have had conversations since then and we all felt we weren't doing the things we were doing to get the results in the previous games," he said.
"We kind of got away with that and we won't get away with it if we put in a performance that is like that again when we play Wimbledon. We have to be at our very best to make sure that the opposition aren't given chances and that we create chances of our own."

This master thesis is based on a general issue of quality in social services. I have chosen to illustrate through an empirical case, namely the position social responsibility coordinator and shortened SAS.
This position is fairly new to the Swedish social services and has the overall mandate to monitor, develop and ensure quality.
To study this, I have developed two analytic schemes. One is based on the concept of quality value components, the second is based on the concept of quality character components. These analytical schemes are used as the presented material. When I study my
case, I have used two methods, documents and questionnaires.
In this study I will try to describe how new solutions to improve the quality of social services can conform and develop
. I study the main focus SAS positions have in the quality mission.
The result shows that SAS works in nearly throughout the quality chain, which means working with process, final performance and outcomes. SAS is found in both the prospective and the retrospective assignment as revealed by the questionnaire survey, observation and document study.
SAS is primarily assigned to work with an indirect quality work at management level but it included both users, citizens, staffs and management.

Time to Focus on Interleague Play
I haven't talked yet about Interleague Play this season. The schedule has been light. And, frankly, in recent seasons the betting markets have caught up to reality. Several years back, you could make a fortune simply betting all the AL teams over the NL teams. Oddsmakers (many of who were stubborn veterans even then) just couldn't accept that the AL was not only superior, but VASTLY superior at the time. The NL was basically "quadruple A" while the AL was Major League caliber for a few seasons.
The line eventually did catch up. Even though the AL continues to win the season series, it's been doing so at fair prices that don't offer value. THIS season, the National League is off to a strong start, which might be signaling value in the other direction. Oddsmakers and the public are now so conditioned to think that the AL is going to win Interleague (as it's done all the way back to 2004) that the lines have been slow to adjust.
Also a factor, the AL has some bad teams right now. Here's a list of teams with losing records who have struggled in Interleague...
Tampa Bay 0-7
Chicago White Sox 3-9
Detroit 1-5
Baltimore 2-4
Texas is bad, and hasn't even played any Interleague games yet! Kansas City has only played five, with a 2-3 record. It will be tough for the AL to own the NL with so many mediocrities (and worse).
I don't want to suggest that the whole AL is going to be outclassed. The great teams will beat anybody. Don't go fading the Yankees, Red Sox, Indians, and Astros just because the whole league is off to a slow start against the Nationals. But, don't be afraid to step up when anybody from the NL that knows what it's doing is facing one of the non-powers in the AL.
This is important to pay attention to NOW because the volume of the IL schedule is about to pick up. We have three series beginning Tuesday (Washington/NY Yankees, Cincinnati/Kansas City, and Texas/Los Angeles Dodgers). Then, three more this weekend (Miami at Baltimore, Washington at Toronto, and Colorado at Texas). It gets even busier down the road.
Here's your homework from today's class session in my College of Advanced Sports Betting and Handicapping.
*Familiarize yourself with current team-by-team won-lost records in Interleague. Most major sports websites have an option on their standings page to see records vs. the other divisions and in IL (ESPN's website does for sure).
*Build a framework for monitoring new results from this point forward. You want to stay on top of this every day. If the NL continues its early edge, or plays even at mostly underdog prices, you want to take advantage before the market changes. Force yourself to monitor this angle DAILY rather than checking in periodically.
*Pay particular attention to the best "indicator" games, meaning "Good NL teams vs. Good AL teams," "Mid-Level NL teams vs. Mid-Level AL Teams," and "Bad NL Teams vs. Bad AL Teams." The Yankees just took two of three from the Mets...but that's not really a "highlight" for the AL. The Yanks are much better than the Mets and should have won that series.
See if one league is winning more than its share of the perceived coin flips. That was the single biggest factor several years ago when the AL announced its dominance. It kept winning two-of-three in all the coin flip matchups. You can make a lot of money winning two-of-three at coin flip betting odds. And, you can step in with 100-unit or 200-unit "Game of the Year" type bets when personnel advantages are backed up by a hidden Interleague edge. You might see a -120 home favorite from the NL who should really be -150 or -160 (or -200 truth be told). I can assure you this WAS happening back in the AL's best seasons.
It's always possible that the AL is still superior on the whole, and will reverse its early 2018 disappointment. Students like YOU need to be on top of the story, rather than finding out later about the story, or never even realizing there was a story. I was always surprised how ill-informed the media and general public were about the AL's extreme dominance several years back. In 2006, the American League went 154-98 at very affordable prices, and the announcers calling games had no idea. Color guys who were former players were still certain the NL was the better league.

text: We've worked a lot of events over the years, but never a wedding ceremony and reception on Halloween where everyone showed up in costume, and we mean EVERYONE! It was kind of amazing and really set the tone for who Erica and Zac are as a couple. Zac was our main point of contact and we couldn't have asked for a kinder, personable, warm human to help plan their wedding. We went above and beyond to help design and layout a custom large light show for the dancefloor fully fitted with haze so you could see the lights doing their thing. That is a rare opportunity both for couples who want something over the top and different, and a venue that allowed it. Either way, their wedding was a blast! We couldn't have ask for a better day. Congrats to Erica and Zac.

I managed to work with Hannah last year - she's a brilliant photographer so I was a little intimidated, but I also really was excited to shoot with her! Hannah is fantastic to work with as she understands both sides of the camera, so know's what I was looking for as well as knowing how and where to be in front of the lens.
As you'll see, she's got wonderful talent and really know's how to get a great shot! (All shots below are Hannah's own work)
Q - How have you been since we last shot?
A - I have been really good. I'm keeping busy, but it's forever changing!
Q - What have you been up to?
A - Well I graduated from University with a photography degree since we shot. Currently I'm doing less modelling and photographing and I'm working as a digital writer for a fashion brand which I am really enjoying! It's keeping me occupied at least but I have modelled for their website on a couple of occasions.
Q - How did you get into the world of photography/modelling/makeup - what was your first shoot?
A - Throughout school it was the one thing I wanted to do. I used to love experimental photography and I just used to take photos of the sky or things around my house. I got an internship at a local photography studio where I started assisting on family and baby portraits, to practise with the lights I invited some close friends and some local bands and got into doing studio portraits realising I enjoyed it. After I ventured into gig photography and then out again, I realised it was Fashion and Beauty I wanted to specialise in. I just love collaborations, I like to be involved with shoots even if I'm not photographing and eventually, I got convinced into modelling for my photographer friends on a couple of occasions and it just stuck! I think my first shoot the other side of the camera was just some profile shots of me and my camera for my website, so nothing crazy there!
Q - What were your first impressions of the industry and how have they changed over the time you've been involved in it?
A - My first impression? I don't know, I guess it was so knew and quite big at the time it really excited me. I love network and it's great watching how other people grow over time as well as yourselves. I've seen people turn from social networking sites such as Facebook and Model Mayhem where it started as the only place you could really show off your work to being major published regularly and having brilliant projects and collaborations just from being noticed by the right person. I think it's all about putting yourself out there if you have to. I think people usually fall into two categories, being those who just love to create and those who just want to grow, earn and expand.
Q - How much do you enjoy it?
A - I really enjoy it. I used to run straight home and spend all night editing for the next day or spending all night sorting out lots of outfits to take for the next day. I miss it now I'm not doing it so often but it's kind of nice to clear my head...I'll be back soon with a bang!
Q - How much preparation do you do before a shoot?
A - Honestly, it depends what I'm doing and who I'm working with. Modelling for example, I might have some ideas in my head but generally I'll throw it all into a suitcase until I can't shut it and make sure my make up is immaculate before I leave. For photographing...I spend hours location hunting, deciding on a concept or theme, making a mood board, finding a model, arrange a time and date, arrange transport, arrange make up, hair, clothing and any other elements. I tend to spend longer on my own concepts but it doesn't make it any less fun than working with someone else!
Q - How involved do you like to be in a shoot?
A - If I'm modelling, I'll share my ideas/makeup/wardrobe and ideas to try and create a good concept but take a back seat at the actual shoot. With photographing, I like to know literally everything and I love giving people things to do, but running around trying to help. It's alwaya a group effort and you've got to work well together!
Q - Biggest challenges you've faced on a shoot?
A - Unfortunately the weather a lot of the time. Shooting on location can be absolutely lovely and one of my favourite things to do in the right setting, however if it was raining through the night you don't particularly want to stand someone in a muddy field with a white dress or have someone stood in the middle of the rain with nothing on (If that wasn't already the case, anyway!)
Q - What have been your highlights?
A - Meeting and working with so many amazing people. From other photographers, models, makeup artists and stylists, there have been so many talented people over the years and I'm so glad to have met and worked with them, yet alone being able to say they are my friends! It's just great after a shoot when the group has finished after waking up early and put their all in after weeks of planning and we have amazing photographs on the back of a camera, there's no better feeling!
Q - And the downsides?
A - Constantly doubting yourself, comparing yourself to other photographers or being judged for what you do in camera or post production. I don't as such care for these any more, I think it's important not to think of other artists as competition, but instead to inspire yourself to find more ways to improve in other areas to keep yourself moving forward. It shouldn't be about who's the best at doing what, for me it's about expressing myself through my images and just creating something that will stay with me. It is just extremely positive and encourage when you do get a positive response to your work!
Q - What advice would you give to someone who was following in your footsteps?
A - Take your time, plan and execute. Try and learn and practice, but most of all...Enjoy it! What's the point if you're not having fun? Make the most of the wonderful people you meet along the way and look back on the images after a while and see where you can improve and why!
Q - What would your dream shoot involve?
A - Now you're asking. I don't even know, I have so many ideas in my head but I'm dreaming of an overall portfolio, not just one shoot!
Q - Who or what inspires you?
A - I love just creating mood boards, getting the feel for a theme or a concept in my head and then putting my own twist on it. I spend hours on Pintrest just looking at random things and it's literally just because I love looking at images! For previous sets I've thought of ways to portray certain characters and creating a big idea around that or sometimes I just go with what ideas strike me on the day. It all depends!!
Q - Who are your unsung heroes? (MUA's, Assistants, Stylists etc)
A - I appreciate so much work, I can't answer that. One of my favourite photographers is perhaps Tim Walker because I can always recognise his work. I recognise photographs more than artist names unfortunately- I could show you photographs I love for hours!
Q - What do you like to do in your free time?
A - Sleep! No, honestly? I just like trying to get out as much as I can. Every day is different, I just want to enjoy it!
Q - What's next for you; what are your plans for the future?
A - I have some plans for next year with my team already coming together slowly. I have some new shoots booked to get in front of the lens soon which I'm looking forward to- Honestly I'm just taking it in my stride and trying to let things flow! There's loads of people I want to work with so I'll have to start planning for something awesome!

Let Them Play!: Gamification in the Classroom Revisited
On Monday December 5th, 2016, I posted this fateful blog entitled "Gamification in the Classroom: Twister, Trashketball, and D&D." The most memorable marker of this post was the following paraphrased story:
After my 2016 Honors English class had read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, they were charged with creating a final artifact based off a menu of items. One of those items? Create a board game. The restrictions were loose; I trusted that the intrinsic motivation of my Honors students would supplement the wobbly rubric. Looking back, I was quite the gambler my first year of teaching, but luckily it worked out. My kids created amazing games. Some were reminiscent of Twister, while others held a close resemblance to Apples to Apples. These talented young people knocked it out of the park. They showed their board games to the class, explained the mechanics, and then—
We didn't play them.
The kids were expecting we would play them eventually, so no one spoke up the day of turning in the artifact. We watched The Book Thief movie, wrote a reflection on the novel, introduced the next unit, and were a few weeks away before anyone raised their hand and tentatively asked, "Why didn't we play the board games we made for The Book Thief?" The horrible answer: I didn't build enough time in the calendar to allow for that activity, and I was not yet confident enough in my curriculum to toss my carefully laid plans to the wind just to play games. It was a mistake on my part and this lesson plan haunts me. Even now, I'll have sophomores enter my classroom and remind me of my wrongdoing.
But this year, we played those games. And it was AWESOME.
Under the same premise as last year, students were asked to complete a project, and five of them chose to create a board game. One board game a student created was akin to the Game of Life, but instead was the Game of Death, referencing that the narrator of The Book Thief is the character Death. The entire game is spent collecting 'words' which act as currency, since a huge theme of the novel is that words are powerful. You collect the words based off your career and income, which include jobs like being a nazi. Doesn't it sound amazing? The best part of this entire game was a secret rule, where you gain more books by stealing them from your fellow players!
Another game created was similar to Mad Gab. If you're familiar with the traditional format of Mad Gab, you say strangely phonetic phrases at various speeds until they sound like common phrases that you recognize. In this version, students deciphered quotes from The Book Thief! A different student created The Book Thief trivia Shoots and Ladders. One student had a game that included four separate player boards, each individually formatted for a different character from the novel. Finally, one student stole my heart with her artistic game that used house keys as player tokens for her game, because Max, a Jewish man in WWII Germany, received a key hidden in Mein Kampf that led him to freedom.
There was a moment where I almost fell into the same time trap that ruined everything. I had planned to devote an hour of the class period to playing games, with the other thirty minutes allocated for watching the film version of the novel. But the kids were having such an amazing time, laughing and engaging with each other, all the while talking about the book (please, pause, and just soak that in—fourteen year olds having fun while talking intensively about a BOOK) and I made an executive decision: We spent the whole 90 minute block period playing those board games. It was the right call.
These students gained innumerable skills from the act of constructing and playing the games. I'll bullet point a few here:
- write and answer comprehensive questions about the novel's content
- think intensively about the themes and motifs of the novels
- create art that directly relates to the novel
- construct rules that interact strategically with the novel
- revising and editing out the 'unfun' of the game
- considering their audience's perspective as they play their game
- instruct the game to their peers
We can't deny the value of having students create relevant board games for the classroom. It is clearly a valuable teaching tool, and gives the class a way to come together as a community. There is nothing so bonding as a getting heated about a competitive board game!
While researching board games in the classroom, I read this article, "Making Board Games in the Classroom," by Anastasia Salter and she proposed an idea I had never considered: teachers make board games for classroom learning. Wow! I have known of teachers who use mass produced board games in their classrooms, like Pandemic and Evolution, but I had never considered making my own board game that specifically pertains to the needs of my classroom. Salter provided a simple Prezi for any beginner to board game creation that is very helpful! It is my hope sometime before the year is over to create a class set of board games for a different unit.
Outside of the school day, I am an avid player of board games. I have ventured the trains in Ticket to Ride and built castles in Castles of the Mad King Ludwig. I've farmed with La Granja and have trained monks in Orleans. Board games are a big part of my free time; I am so glad I am able to bring a widespread interest into my own classroom. This intersection of fun and education is the pinnacle of my experience as a teacher.

15 Tips For Facilitating Online Discussion Facilitating discussions between students is one of those things that is infinitely easier when you're teaching in a physical classroom rather than online. When the students are all in one room, discussions happen more naturally. Facilitating the same type of productive, useful discussion when teaching online is more of a challenge. The handy infographic below from Mia MacMeekin takes a look at some tips and best practices for facilitating discussions when you're teaching online.

Why MOOCs Are Great for Teacher Development For a while there, the word "MOOC" seemed to be on everyone's tongue. For many educators who had reached their saturation points, MOOCs were the education world's version of a song you heard every single time you turned on the radio and little by little grew to hate. In the background of all this oversaturation though, MOOCs have actually been embraced by a lot of great schools and professors. And the courses now available include a number of subjects aimed directly at teachers. 3 Reasons to Consider Taking a MOOC Even if most schools didn't require continuing education, teachers could benefit from seeking out opportunities to learn more.

How is it acting in your very first period lakorn?
I was secretly nervous ka. The language is one of my biggest obstacles everytime I'm acting in a lakorn and furthermore, period lakorns requires more abstract words. I must pronounce my words clearly and slowly but normally I'm someone who talks fastly and unclearly. I often got scolded by paajaew constantly. Being that this is a period lakorn, the hardest part is not understanding the perspective of women from that era. When I'm acting, I'd feel like why am I not allowed to think this way? I'm someone who is expressive and honest and whenever I'm acting, my thoughts will correspond with my facial expressions but Paajaew didn't allow that. Majority of the time, I'd take glimpse and wouldn't be able to express my inner thoughts and feelings. It's difficult in that sense because I wasn't able to surpress my emotions.
In this lakorn, viewers are paying extra close attention to your speech
Viewers pay attention to this aspect for every lakorn of mine but in this one, I speak much slower. My character's age isn't that old so it wasn't necessary to adjust my voice or act in a more mature manner. The hardest scenes for me would have to be the earlier scenes where my role first meets the praek.
How was the filming process and atmosphere of the lakorn?
It was fun and very cheerful. It's the first lakorn where I was able to tease and prank others. In the past, I was the one being teased on. I'm older than James by 5 months so I'm able to refer to myself as P. James also calls me P. Everyone on the lakorn set calls me P'Ya together. It's enjoyable in the sense that I have a bait. James was the first person that I pranked and for the most part, James didn't dare to tease me back. Perhaps because my face can be fierce looking. On the days when I have to film a scene with James, before we're able to succeed, it took a considerably long while as it was a process of trail and error. James is very mischevious, just like how his fanclub members refer to him as monkey. He's a kid who is very naughty, but he's equally just as naughty as I am.
We noticed that in the ealier scenes, you both seemed considerate of each other
We were both tensed because we've never acted together before and morever, the character of Khun Poom talks a lot. My dialogues were really long. The same applies to Khun Neung. The dialogues are both long and difficult. During the first filming queues, our methods for helping us feel less tense is to give each other support by squeezing each other's arms and telling one another, you can do it. James would tell me, P'Yaya it's okay, you can do it. Adding to that, our characters in the lakorn often quarrels so the method for our team is to constantly tease each other. We treat each other as if we're those chaarcters. We tease each other for real too (laughs).
Being James' senior, did you offer any advice?
There's nothing. James is considered someone born to be. He's already talented and has previous experience with period lakorns therefore, he's the one who acts slowly whereas I act fastly. He would constantly help me by saying, take it easy P'Yaya.
Viewers have established you both as a new koo jin already, Jirassaya
Oy! No one has ever referred to me but my real name before. I'm very pleased ja because we both were very determined and worked to our fullest potential.
Is there a role that you want to act as?
There's a lot but the role that I want to act the most is to return to play in an action genere but I want act as a female killer/assisinan.
As you've grown older, it seems like your photoshoots are increasingly more sexy
Perhaps it's because my face has matured so it comes off a little sexy like I've reached another stage. I didn't intend to become more sexy. It's likely also due to the fact that I've done many photoshoots so I'm getting more comfortable and familiar on how to pose and in turn, I'm also braver in my convicition. For any work that I don't feel confident in or it seems out of my comfort zone, I will discuss with the elders of Channel 3 beforehand as well as my mom who is the person responsible for accepting and managing my work. Everything still needs to pass approval from the Channel.
You've been in the industry for 6-7 years already. In what areas do you feel like you've improved on?
My language has improved consistently compared to my first lakorn where I wouldn't speak Thai at all. I went from not understanding anything to learning how to understand things. The most obvious thing is that I've grown up and matured more. I've overcome many different things. I'm starting to understand the essence of being a human being and the importance of life so it allows me to understand my lakorn roles better.
How do you see your future in the entertainment industry?
I never established any plans for myself. I just simply want to accumulate everything that I'm capable of doing and perform those things to the best of my abilities. Before enterting this industry, I looked at the showbiz as something that's very impressive. It assembles many individuals. Each time I go to work, I meet hundreds of new people so it's very exciting.
Today, I started to realize that the entertainment industry is like a foundation of many other areas of art. Everything works and intergratdes together for it all to come out well. This is a field that is appropriate for celebrities and requires good teamwork.
*** I did not translate the second portion (mostly about Yaya's viewpoint on love and her relationship with Nadech) of this article because I came to realize that someone else has already translated the whole thing already. To read the rest of the interview, please visit space4ny's Instagram. From now on, I will not continue to translate or post anything related to Yaya because there are many other devoted and supportive International fans who are doing so and therefore, there's no need for the same things to be translated twice. Thanks!
