Film as Means for Integrating Opposites: A Review of David Lynchês "The Elephant Man"
Posted on May 9, 2012 by Sarah Kass - New Existentialists Posts
Joseph Merrick in the 1889 British Medical Journal.
The gift of cinema is a holistic experience like no other art form. It engages every sense but smell and taste (unless you count when John Waters' "Polyester" was being screened. Scratch and sniff cards were handed out at the theaters, like 3-D glasses, and not all of the scents were as pleasant as the classroom childhood relics flavored with bubble gum and chocolate mint). Regardless, cinema even moves beyond engagement of multiple senses, suspending our belief and dissolving the barriers between story and self. The critically acclaimed Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky (1987) proclaimed "the literary work can only be received through symbols, through concepts—for that is what words are; but cinema, like music, allows for an utterly direct, emotional, sensuous perception of the work" (p. 176). Merleau-Ponty (1964) observed that a movie is not thought; it is perceived" (p. 58). Indeed, there is something about an experience with film that moves us beyond observation to a subjective state of being.
From a hermeneutic perspective, one could assert that cinematic dialect parallels the advances of culture in our understanding of a collective tendency toward dualistic thinking. Merleau-Ponty (1964) stated:
if philosophy is in harmony with the cinema, if thought and technical effort are heading in the same direction, it is because the philosopher and the moviemaker share a certain way of being, a certain view of the world which belongs to a generation. It offers us yet another chance to confirm that modes of thought correspond to technical methods and that, to use Goethe's phrase, "What is inside is also outside." (p. 59)
Along the same lines, Merleau-Ponty also stated that "the movies are peculiarly suited to make manifest the union of mind and body, mind and world, and the expression of one in the other" (p. 58). Certainly, our precarious identification with new characters and life contexts is buffered by the medium cinema provides. Often times, we aren't even conscious of our identifications with characters, and yet on a deeper level, there is a sentiment for the familiarity of strangers. Our sense of self expands primarily because we feel more, not so much because of what we think about our observations. The film holds up a visceral mirror.
In light of this, my review of "The Elephant Man," directed by David Lynch, is entirely relevant to the personal gift that cinema brings. The film is an adaptation of the 1977 play by Bernard Pomerance, and is based on the true story of John Merrick, a man born severely disfigured due to a trauma his mother suffered during her pregnancy, and Dr. Frederick Treves, a man who "buys time" with the Elephant Man from the Circus Freak pimp, Bytes. Over the course of their relationship, both the disfigured man and the highly revered doctor are transformed by not only their exchanges and developing fondness for one another, but also by the situations that are anomalous to their former everyday existence. Enter once horrified nurses who are now friends, socialites who exploit under the pretenses of charity, bar-rats who take advantage of young women with the induction of terror upon the sight of the Elephant Man, and the beautiful star of the stage, Ms. Kendall.
This film directly touches on a variety of splits that manifest in society: ugliness and beauty; carnality and spirituality; charity and exploitation; malevolence and goodness; repulsion and attraction, and most importantly, us and them. With the help of a well-intentioned, candid head nurse, and the ill intent of Bytes, Dr. Treves begins to recognize the plurality of his nature. Roused from sleep and in response to the concern of his wife, Treves sits in the darkness of his own home and asks "Am I a good man or a bad man?" Conversely, while reading Shakespeare together during a privileged visit, Merrick receives a modest kiss from the actress Ms. Kendall, who states "Oh John, you're not an elephant man at all. You're Romeo."
All the while, more public exchanges take place; in fact, the film begins with commerce. Dr. Treves and other patrons offer their gold coin as if to Charon when crossing the River Styx. The film is trademark David Lynch with its industrialized setting filled with mechanistic grinding and chiming, smokestacks, underground fire, and dark alleys. These dark places set the stage for a hermetic quality of this journey to the underworld. Hermes was one of the few Greek gods who could travel to Hades. He was also the god of Commerce. Off the screen, good money is paid to see the taboo. We have our red light and green light districts in which overindulgence of the other-worldly (which often is not really other-worldly, just cast out) thrives. We are willing to pay to get a glimpse or even a touch of the parts of ourselves most hidden. Bytes and Dr. Treves both take on a mercurial quality, the former through commerce, and the latter through medicine. Regardless, this is how the story exposes the collective shadow. We have personal characters, but we also have a culture that operates under the auspices of "us" and "them." What we often find is that the "us" we place on a pedestal is often no better than the "them" we shun. "The Elephant Man" brilliantly calls the collective character into question.
The personalities and storyline in this film are archetypal. There is a marked similarity to the story of Hephaestus, the Greek god of Fire and the Blacksmith. In short, Hephaestus was conceived out of Hera's parthogenesis: a result of her revenge on Zeus for cheating on her and conceiving Athena. Hephaestus was born deformed and crippled, and thus Zeus and Hera threw him off of Mt. Olympus to die. The sea goddess Thetis and her nymphs nursed Hephaestus back to health, and he became a gifted blacksmith who showered his rescuer with gifts. Upon this discovery, Hera once again became envious and invited Hephaestus back to Mt. Olympus where he was given his own workshop, as well as the hand of Aphrodite in marriage. Here, we see the union of opposites that has resulted from a recognition of the beauty that exists in the ugly. We see a movement from archetype to integration: duality to the paradox of unity/plurality. Just like John Merrick, Hephaestus is given a home.
Although "The Elephant Man" has been criticized for being more emotionally evocative than a "typical" David Lynch film, it seems that the evocation of emotion is precisely the vehicle needed to holistically engage a viewer. It has become "unhip" or "sappy" to feel, and that cool observation and divorced insight is relegated as good art. I disagree. This is just another representation of an encouraged split. In "The Elephant Man," we see that the depth of emotion is what leads to insight. The story joins our deeper sense of feeling with our higher sense of ethics. Good and bad are not so easily delineated because they do not exist separately. As my 13-year-old son, Joseph, said recently in our conversation about "Tekkonkinkreet," the similarly themed animé film directed by Michael Arias, "I think the film means that you can be dark and corrupted, and still love somebody." This statement also applies to "The Elephant Man." The doctor can exploit, and the deformed body can aspire to spiritual altruism. Both become conscious of this through their exchange, and they develop a deep brotherly love in the process.

5/5/06 The first 2-Seat Civilian Space Trainer is shown to the public for the first time.
More can be found on C&Space's website. There will be alot more to follow on this one.
8/17/05 C&Space and AirBoss have partnered to develop and build an airframe around C&Space's turbopumped LOX/Methane rocket engine.
The question is how do you train the all the future civilian space pilots...the answer is give them a low cost trainer that is every bit an extreme machine. The jet engine allows for takeoff and landings in a conventional manner. The plane climbs to its cruise altitude and cruise speed where the fun begins. A small rocket motor is throttled up and 35 seconds later, the plane is at Mach 1.6 at 50,000+ feet...or pull the nose up a bit and and climb through 75,000+ feet. Inquiries should be directed to Dave Fawcett with AirBoss.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ecotality, Inc. (OTC BB: ETLY - News ), a renewable energy company addressing the global energy challenge by developing eco-friendly technologies, today announced that it has engaged Airboss Aviation Group, a leader in the aviation industry, to act as consulting engineers on its Hydratus bus. Airboss will work in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL) and the California Institute of Technology to continue the development of the Hydratus, a system that generates hydrogen on demand.
Ecotality is developing new renewable energy technologies, and works with established technology partners, such as Airboss, to develop and commercialize innovative renewable energy solutions. Jonathan Read, the CEO of Ecotality, stated, "Airboss will allow us to quickly quantify and implement recent new advancements in the Hydratus project, provide us a strong adjunct to our JPL team, as well as spearhead the key task of integration of the Hydratus into the hydrogen bus."
Airboss Aviation is a specialist engineering firm in high-tech aviation programs, with particular expertise in designing, testing and building several cutting-edge aircraft.

Over 60 years ago, stone tools and remains of megafauna were discovered on the Southeast Asian islands of Flores, Sulawesi and Luzon, and a Middle Pleistocene colonization by Homo erectus was initially proposed to have occurred on these islands1-4. However, until the discovery of Homo floresiensis in 2003, claims of the presence of archaic hominins on Wallacean islands were hypothetical owing to the absence of in situ fossils and/or stone artefacts that were excavated from well-documented stratigraphic contexts, or because secure numerical dating methods of these sites were lacking. As a consequence, these claims were generally treated with scepticism5. Here we describe the results of recent excavations at Kalinga in the Cagayan Valley of northern Luzon in the Philippines that have yielded 57 stone tools associated with an almost-complete disarticulated skeleton of Rhinoceros philippinensis, which shows clear signs of butchery, together with other fossil fauna remains attributed to stegodon, Philippine brown deer, freshwater turtle and monitor lizard. All finds originate from a clay-rich bone bed that was dated to between 777 and 631 thousand years ago using electron-spin resonance methods that were applied to tooth enamel and fluvial quartz. This evidence pushes back the proven period of colonization6 of the Philippines by hundreds of thousands of years, and furthermore suggests that early overseas dispersal in Island South East Asia by premodern hominins took place several times during the Early and Middle Pleistocene stages1-4. The Philippines therefore may have had a central role in southward movements into Wallacea, not only of Pleistocene megafauna7, but also of archaic hominins.

Hi folks - picked up my new Compass (old model) last week and was very happy with how it functioned. I have previously owned Outback, Revo 11 and Sport.
Only snag is on my first trip I found the tie-down straps marked the Compass very badly so much so I have not been able to clean the marks off, even with Hobie cleaner and other stuff I usually use. I travelled on a dusty (red) road for 2x25km on the trip. The straps were not over-tightened as I double-checked them a couple of times. The marks seem embedded in the plastic if that can be believed!? Maybe the plastic on these is softer. Must say the plastic on my Sport (which my wife uses) is much harder to the touch.
I wondered if anyone else has experienced this issue? Any solutions/suggestions? I have been in touch with the dealer and Hobie Australia about it and expressed my concern. Dealer felt I may have to paint it camouflage in future (not very helpful) but said they'd look at it and Hobie HQ still to call back.
Since my earlier post I have heard back from Hobie Australia (to whom I sent pics) who were very supportive and positive saying they were sure the marks could be buffed out using a professional buffer but either way they will find a solution for me. I am to drop it back to the dealer for that to be done.
He also assured me that the Compass is made from the same material that the others are made from. I was worried it was softer somehow.
However, the real issue is; is this going to crop up again? I would urge any prospective Compass buyers (who expect to travel on dusty roads) to be very cautious on this issue and get an undertaking from a dealer before buying (that they want to be covered in the event of this sort of thing).
I have found that getting some pipe insulation (soft foam similar to a pool noodle) at the hardware store and cutting pieces to put under straps helps to protect and prevent any marring or stains from whatever you are using to strap the kayak down. I use one of those thick black rubber straps with the "S" hooks on each end at the back to secure the Compass to the bed extender. Putting those pieces under the strap keeps the black rubber from leaving marks.
I use 4 pieces of felt for that purpose. I found anytime I used pool noodles they would collapse and the straps would loosen.
If using straps you can make a twist in the strap to prohibit vibration. That is what would leave a mark.
thanks all for helpful suggestions - appreciated. Will definitely take up some of those in future despite never having to do it with other Hobbies in the past.
I think a determining factor for my issues was the red dust. It seems somehow to have become embedded in the plastic.
Once you get it clean, you might consider treating it with Hobie Protectant or 303. The Hobie product is better IMO -- stays on longer. In both cases, you want to keep it out of the cockpit -- very slippery.
thanks Roadrunner, I have the 303 and Hobie products so will give the latter a go first. I am definitely going to get some felt for future trips otherwise will consider tying it down at the nose and rear. I assume those screws on the handles will hold!?
No. Do not use the bow and stern handles to tie onto the car... mabe just as backup, but not the full load.
Okay, noted, thanks Matt. Appreciate the interest.
Only reason I thought of it is to avoid the tie-down markings issue mentioned in the first post. I am really not going to be happy to have those marks crop up every time I venture onto dusty roads with the Compass, which is more often than not!? I use my wife's Sport and did use my old Revo and Outbacks countless times in those conditions, with no permanent marking issues.
Should be no different. Different straps? I think it is the vibration, so be sure to twist the straps or pad lines to prevent it.
same straps (bought from Hobie dealer for purpose) tied/secured in the same way as used on 3 other Hobie models in same conditions over about 12 years.
Quick update - took my Compass in to the dealer and he used a product called Gumption (inexpensive, found in supermarkets and hardware stores in Aus) - slightly abrasive paste used with a wet cloth - and it took the orange/dust marks out but left whitish residue marks which he says will come out using a protectant or vehicle exterior trim cream which I have yet to try. He also confirmed it was his view that the dust/colouration had somehow become embedded in the outer layer of the kayak. Interesting and I guess worrying as that is what always seemed to be the case.

A few months back, an advertising executive argued that more online privacy would kill free speech. Richard Frankel, president of the advertising company Rocket Fuel, titled the post "How the Do Not Track Plan Will Ultimately Kill Free Speech." It's understandable that advertisers are so resistant to the concept of Do Not Track – it could change the way they access data, which would force them to innovate their business models and practices. Just because DNT could impact the advertising industry in the short-term, however, doesn't warrant its intense broadcasting of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD), and at times, outright deception. Frankels's piece was one in a string of ad exec attacks on privacy that claim that the Internet will be doomed if consumers get more of the privacy they want.
In the interest of transparency, let me explain my angle here. I'm an attorney, privacy advocate, and analyst at Abine, an online privacy company in Boston. We make simple tools that give people a choice over whether their personal info is collected, stored, and sold online. Unlike the advertising companies, we don't collect or sell any user data. We only get paid if users like our free products and choose to buy our premium ones. It's an up-front relationship that's clear to our customers. And beyond my role at Abine, I care deeply about preserving the web as a place where we can say and explore interesting, sometimes controversial, things. As a fan of free speech and expression, I have a vested interest in keeping the Internet open and uncensored.
Make no mistake about it: we live in a state of surveillance. Hundreds of advertising and tracking companies follow everything we do online — the articles we read, the videos we watch, the sites we always visit, the Facebook comments we make, and more. They combine that online data with offline data like our voting record, employment history, and marriage licenses, and use it to build an extremely detailed profile. Companies like Facebook scan the contents of photos and private messages for Homeland Security "risk words" like "infection," "body scanner," or "hacker" and turn them over to law enforcement. Even if you delete your embarrassing Facebook posts, companies like Social Intelligence sell the past 7 years of posts to hiring managers. The wireless companies you pay for mobile service turn over 1.3 million customer records to law enforcement each year, which include texts and your phone's GPS location wherever it went. The divide between public and private surveillance is virtually nonexistent, and advertising companies are part of this ecosystem.
When you're constantly being watched, you necessarily lack privacy. And when you're constantly being watched, you act differently. That seems like an obvious point to those of us who've belted out song lyrics alone in our cars but would be terrified to do the same on stage in front of thousands or who laugh at things with their friends that they'd never say in front of their bosses, but observation effects are also well-established in scientific research, law, and popular culture (Big Brother, anyone?). Privacy scholar Neil M. Richards writes that "surveillance inclines us to the mainstream and the boring…when we are watched while engaging in intellectual activities, broadly defined—thinking, reading, web-surfing, or private communications—we are deterred from engaging in thoughts or deeds that others might find deviant." Deviance just means difference: deviation from the norm, creativity, standing out from the crowd. If you knew you were being watched and that your activities may resurface down the road in a job interview, on a date, in a newspaper, you'd be less likely to go that political rally, that Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, that gay bar, or that protest, all things that you have a right to do that are valued parts of a free, democratic society.
With privacy, you have control over who gets to see what you're doing and where you are. You get to be one way around your boss, another around your kids, another around your best friends since elementary school. You get to pick that divide. But when you're watched all the time and you never know how that information will be used or where it'll turn up, you censor yourself everywhere. This is called the Panopticon Effect. All this openness that social networks insist we want by default, the pervasive data collection that advertisers argue is good for us: they make anyone who's paying attention censor themselves.
A key part of free speech is anonymous speech. Anonymous speech is a constitutionally protected First Amendment right, and as the Supreme Court stated in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, "an honorable tradition of advocacy and of dissent." Online advertising constantly fights against anonymity and pseudonymity, trying to learn everything about web users to unmask them and peel away layers of demographic info, interests, and behaviors. Many social networks like Facebook have real name policies, insisting that members use their full, legal names on their accounts or be banned.
Frankel says that "With higher ad revenues comes more rich content that spurs vibrant discussion." I disagree. You know what spurs vibrant discussion? People, especially people behind pseudonyms. Ever been on a message board? A Reddit thread? The most "vibrant" discussions happen when people feel sufficiently protected to be honest. Sure, some people hide behind pseudonyms to harass others, but the core of the First Amendment avoids censoring the positive, protected uses of speech just because certain bad actors may abuse it.
To say that advertising is the only thing driving creative content doesn't give credit to humanity's ingrained creativity. First, plenty of content providers get paid for their work directly, from recording artists to bestselling authors to journalists. 43% of Americans pay content creators—authors of magazine articles and books—for e-books, and there are 400,000 paid subscribers to the Wall Street Journal alone. The majority of people blogging and posting on social media today create content out of a desire to express themselves that's unrelated to money. Just talk to any one of the thousands of bloggers and podcasters, particularly the anonymous ones, who pay to host their own websites just to get their message out to the public. Most of these people don't blog or podcast for a living; they do it because they love it and because their message is important to them. There's power—and satisfaction—in speaking one's mind, and it exists independently from ad money.
Privacy isn't a hindrance to free speech; it's the driving force behind it. Privacy provides both the boundaries of and protection for the space in which we can be ourselves. Privacy nurtures self-expression, creativity, speaking your mind, associating with whomever you wish, and exploring your interests. These are the First Amendment's protections: freedom of speech, of association, and of assembly. They're so important for self-actualization and self-determination that our founders immortalized them in the Bill of Rights. Privacy isn't about having something to hide; it's about having something to live for.
My privacy is important to me. That is why I use DNT.I Am grateful for companies like Abine, who make software that helps my privacy.
Thanks! We're grateful that we're able to help you out.
It's great you offer such a brilliant service….. At least it's an OPTION! That's all I want.
Yep, that's our stance too: privacy should be an option. You should be able to choose it if you want it, and it should be easy.
I do not think i spam or abuse writing a little comment if you allow me.
It is a very nice article that you have written madam, with so much passion.
Freedom of speech and privacy are not always working forward (front) sometimes it is working also backward (rear).
Of course, it is at the opposite of your article : privacy is with your rights and the freedom of speech, but privacy and freedom of speech it is also the right to erase its own contribution so, if it is not possible ; more privacy kill free speech.
Because, the owner of your rights will be the place and the few ears where you have written or spoke ; so you will be in a close area of space, of time with only few words, few ideas or like in farenheit 451; you will not have the choice to be free, repeting the words of someone else like a character at the theater.
I do not really understand what is the first amendement and the bill'rights.
In fact, privacy is about a need – psychological – of a child in the purpose to help him to grow up savely and in good health mentally, a protection for his mind.
So, saying that it is a modern and real concept and very important for an adult ; it is a little fun. Free speech help to built ideas and creativity so i agree with you. I hope i have really well understood your article and i have not made a confusion.
Thank you to have allowed me to comment your article with easy words.
I have inappropriate content posted in Search on me that most is old and inaccurate Google search 123 People will not remove web links or pictures that I want removed. Thanks to you I can stop them from collecting more information about me. They need to be sued.
Thanks Sarah and you were right about 123 People. I worked with the manager and it was taken off fairly fast. Thanks to Albine and the masked e-mail. I choose what is published on the web. Thanks again!
Nice! Glad to hear it worked for you.
You wrote about one aside of the coin. What process is in place that prevent people hiding behind pseudonyms to harass others? Is it required that the person being harassed jump-through-hoops in order that Abine assist with putting an end to the madness?. I understand most people do not abuse a service such as those offered by Abine, as always there will be a few.
Thank you, Sincerely "In fear of life".

Q: pyodbc.OperationalError when used inside sp_execute_external_script I have this Python code that works fine when I run it from PyCharm.
But when I run the same code from SQL Server using sp_execute_external_script, I get an error. Any idea what is going on here?
The Python code:
import pyodbc
from pandas import DataFrame, read_csv
import glob

def main():
    fullFilePath = r"D:\raw files"
    conn = pyodbc.connect(
        "DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server};"
        "Server=DESKTOP-PCV7785;"
        "Database=practice_db;"
        "Trusted_Connection=yes;"
        )
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    try:
        cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE tbl_babyNames (babyName nvarchar(100), gender nvarchar(2), number int, fileName nvarchar(50))")
        conn.commit()
    except:
        print("Table tbl_babyNames already exists")
    files = 0
    rows = 0
    files_list = [f[len(fullFilePath)+1:] for f in glob.glob(fullFilePath + "\*.txt")]
    for file in files_list:
        data = read_csv(fullFilePath + "\\" + file, sep=",", header=None, index_col=None)
        data.columns=["babyName", "gender", "number"]
        df1 = DataFrame(data)
        df1["fileName"] = file[:file.find(".txt")]
        for row in df1.itertuples():
            cursor.execute("""

Welcome to Home Cookware Reviews! My name is Katie Diaz, and I am the founder of Home Cookware Reviews which is a place where I share my experience with various home cookware, the good the bad and the ugly!
I've been a professional chef for many years, however since my first child was born (shout out to Evie) I have now become a stay at home mom and an avid home cook. Throughout my professional career I have used just about all the types of cookware available, everything from copper sets, cast iron skillets and heavy duty roasting pans just top name a few. So when it comes to picking out the best for your home I like to think that I know a thing or two about which pots and pans deserve a place in your kitchen.
At Home Cookware Reviews, I will review various cookware pots and pans that I have actually used and I personally recommend.

He broke my heart in pieces over and over and over again.
It was a few days after my 12th birthday. My mom told me we were going to Buca di Beppo's in Thousand Oaks for dinner with my family to celebrate. Birthdays dinners have always been something we always, ALWAYS had for one another. Every time someone in my family had a birthday, we all would meet up somewhere and celebrate over dinner. Therefore, I was not surprised we were having one for me. We took birthday dinners pretty seriously, because we rarely got to see each other. Birthdays were just an excuse to come together.
After school, I went home, took a shower, and my mom insisted on me letting her straighten my hair, which didn't seem out of the norm because she always loved how my hair looked straight. She said everything looks cleaner when my hair is straight. When we got to Buca di Beppo's, the host led me all the way to the back where I saw all my family, my closest friend, and all his family. I was shocked, but had a huge smile on my face. There were way more people than I expected and they were sitting at a massive table with every appetizer on the menu right in front of them. "SURPRISE," everyone yelled. I was ecstatic; I had finally gotten the surprise party I've always wanted.
I was so happy, but I knew something was missing. It took me a while to realize what, or who, it was. My dad, mom, sister, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, cousins, my best friend, and his whole family were there what could it be? Then it hit me "Mom, where is Blake," I asked, my voice cracking. Blake is my brother, at that time he was 25, and I knew was he wasn't there. Showing up to family dinners is so important, because the time we have together is rare. So, not being there is practically a sin in my family. "I don't know. No one knows. Sorry, Ki," my mom said. My 12-year-old self felt so betrayed. "No one can get a hold of him," my dad said. "He might be living on the streets, we don't know. But, don't worry, he'll come back eventually." How could I not worry? How could everyone but Blake be there? How could someone be SO selfish? At the time, Blake was in and out of rehab because he was addicted to heroine. He often lied and stole things from me and my sister. Which, at the time of the surprise party, I knew, but very vaguely. Years later, of course, I knew a lot more.
It's as simple as that. He broke my heart in pieces over and over and over again. He smashed mine and my whole family's. Not only did he break our hearts, he also ruined our trust. The truth of the matter, though, is he would do it again. What's even sadder is I don't blame him. He did it because he wanted to escape the world. That's what drugs do; they help one escape. He wanted to run away from two families who could never meld beautifully, two families forced together with the same last name, but personalities that begged to differ. What I mean is, I don't blame him for wanting to get out; he'd be crazy if he didn't, but I blame him for being so incredibly selfish. Truth of the matter is, he isn't the only guy who's broken my heart, nor is he the first to do so.
That's a different story for a different time ,though. In case, you were wondering, Blake is better now. At least he says he is.

Reverend Bruce Ritter OFM (* 25. Februar 1927 in Trenton (New Jersey); † 7. Oktober 1999 in Decatur, Bundesstaat New York) war US-amerikanischer römisch-katholischer Priester und Gründer der größten privat finanzierten Kinderhilfsorganisation der USA, Covenant House.

Covenant House
Nachdem der Franziskanerpater Ritter von 1963 bis 1968 am Manhattan College Theologie gelehrt hatte, gründete er 1968 die Kinderhilfsorganisation Covenant House mit dem Ziel, verwaisten Teenagern und missbrauchten Kindern ein Zuhause zu geben. Mit einem Budget von bis zu 90 Mio. US-Dollar war Covenant House die größte privat finanzierte Organisation in diesem Bereich.

Vorwurf des Kindesmissbrauchs
Nachdem vier Bewohner des Kinderhilfswerkes und ein Porno-Darsteller Vorwürfe wegen Missbrauches gegen Ritter erhoben hatten, trat dieser 1990 von seiner Funktion als Leiter der Organisation zurück. Zwar wurde Ritter in einer Gerichtsverhandlung freigesprochen, danach tauchten jedoch Indizien auf, dass Ritter sexuellen Kontakt zu jugendlichen Heimbewohnern hatte. Ritter verließ den Franziskanerorden, blieb aber bis zu seinem Tod als Priester aktiv. Er bestritt bis zuletzt alle Vorwürfe.

On our way to and from Glacier National Park we passed through peaceful Flathead Valley. Plenty of hay bales spread out in fields or freshly stacked in piles; and plenty of farm stands selling huckleberries. And lucky for me, a few red barns too!
Linking to Thursday's Good Fences.
As we winded along on Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park, we passed a large area affected by a fire in 2003. And even though the fire was obviously devastating to this area, I couldn't help but find this scene so pretty. Maybe because all the affected conifers are such a beautiful shade of white. And also because the young new growth seems so healthy.
Another example of the billion+ years old mountains, also at Logan Pass so the elevation here is close to 7000 ft. One of the things I really loved about Glacier National Park is the rainbow of colored rocks visible not only in these old mountains but also in the younger ones underneath. And all the pebbles around the park and in nearby towns reminded me of Easter eggs! When I come back to this park again I would really like to do a ranger-guided geology tour to learn more about these amazing rocks!
And on a completely unrelated photography topic, I did not bring my polarizer on the hike, and look how blue the sky is here! The sun came out midway through the hike, and this particular photo was taken with the sun almost exactly 90 degrees to my left. I know that this is the prime angle for polarizer use, so I guess it also works without a polarizer. When I was living in California I was advised to leave the polarizer at home when photographing up at Lake Tahoe (also 7000 ft.) because the sky will come out a deep shade of blue just from the elevation, although I'm not sure what the physics behind that is.
I guess I should start by saying I'm no expert in geology, but Glacier National Park has a very interesting geological history. It has some of the oldest and best preserved exposed sedimentary rock, evidentially on the planet! And what's really strange is that during the time these mountains were forming, this old rock, dating from 1.6 billion to 800 million years old, was actually thrust on top of much younger and softer rock over an unbelievable distance of 50 miles. It's called the Lewis Overthrust, and the older rock is amazingly over 1,400 million years older than the stuff under it! The old rock is the kind visible in the upper left of the photo.
The Continental Divide slices through Glacier National Park at Logan Pass. And most interestingly, just south and east of Logan Pass is a mountain called Triple Divide Peak where, as the name implies, there is a three-way continental divide. "From Triple Divide Peak southeast of Logan Pass, a hand's width can determine whether a raindrop becomes part of the Columbia, Mississippi, or Saskatchewan river systems. Waters from the (park) flow to the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and northeastward into Hudson Bay." From the Waterton-Glacier visitor's guide, but so well said, and so cool!
So many guesses yesterday for Canada, and actually we were very close to Canada, visiting Glacier National Park in northern Montana. Glacier National Park extends to the US-Canada border and continues in Canada as Waterton Lakes National Park. This view from Logan's Pass is looking northeast, but based on my map I don't think Canada would be visible in this photo. At an elevation of 6646 ft., the snow on Logan's Pass is still melting, and parts of our hike to the Hidden Lake overview were very snowy/slushy (those parts where behind me in this particular photo, but expect to see them in coming days)! I didn't get many vista shots on this trip, but I liked this one because it does give a larger scale view and because of the striped pattern of snow melt in the foreground.
I've just returned from a short trip to visit friends and see a National Park. And yes, we did walk through snow in this park (and not with the right kind of shoes either). I've got a lot of photos to share, but I'm starting with this one so I can link to Weekend Reflections. I'm not sure it's my best intro photo, but it's one of the few reflection photos I took, and I think it's a good teaser photo for the series. Location guesses welcome, of course.
I meant to post this fence scene from our trip to eastern Washington last Thursday for Good Fences, but I forgot to post that day so I saved it for this week instead. We're heading back through eastern Washington again today, so I'm hoping to have some new photos to start posting tomorrow. Linking to Good Fences.
I thought this was a pretty farm up when we were up near La Connor earlier this month. We had an overcast day, but the young fields were still colorful.
Lots of experimenting with fermenting vegetables at my house a few weeks ago. Left to right, sauerkraut, sour beets, kimchi, more sauerkraut, fermented lemons, more kimchi, and more sauerkraut. The only one still on the counter is the lemons. They take a month, according to an article in the food section of our local paper. The rest are either in the fridge or eaten. Everything turned out very yummy after following the recipes in the Sandor Katz book, Wild Fermentation.
Driving home from eastern Washington took us past the hybrid poplar farm in Boardman, Oregon. Of course I had to stop again for an abstract summer version of this farm. I took a very similar photo in early April when the leaves where a light chartreuse color. Here's a link to that post if you're interested in comparing, or you could type poplar farm into the search bar at the top of the page. This image came out much softer. I think that is mainly because I picked an older section of trees for this photo, and very little sunlight was filtering through. Now I'll need to get this shot again in fall and winter to complete my seasonal series!
It's getting to be wheat harvesting time in eastern Washington. This field near Walla Walla was one of the earlier fields to be harvested. Wheat is the main crop around here, followed by lentils. Everyone thinks of Washington apples, but the eastern part of the state is a big grain producer too.
This America flag-inspired ensign reflected beautifully in Percival Landing during Olympia's Wooden Boat Festival. I had to look this flag up, and learned that it's a yacht ensign; not for international travels, it can only be displayed in US waters.
I'm really partial to monarchs. Having grown up around the Great Lakes, I got to see their multi-generational migration each summer and fall, and I have great respect for their journey and fond Midwestern memories of spotting butterflies in July and searching for chrysalises come September. I thought this monarch kite looked so pretty glowing with the sunlight behind it at the kite festival Sunday morning. I also have a monarch micro-kite (4 inches with a 10 foot tail!) which I had so much fun flying at the festival this weekend. I had forgotten what a carefree feeling you get flying a kite!
This view looking out to the ocean probably gives a better perspective on the size of the display kites. Those large stuffed animal kites always just hovered off the ground. I'm sure people liked them, but as a photographer I found them to be really annoying because they always got in the way of my ground line. This shot was taken fairly early on Saturday before it clouded over completely. I was looking forward to getting some bluer sky photos on Sunday, and the sky was beautiful but the display kites were grounded for insufficient wind. I never imagined that happening; it's always so windy on the coast! By the time we were heading out of town I saw the kites starting to go up, so I guess the wind picked up.


Currently I am working a lot on RIPS but here is a small blogpost about a technique I thought about lately and wanted to share.
update: There is an official list for Apache. Very useful.
Webpage with id=1 was displayed for the file /etc/httpd/httpd.conf thus revealing that this file existed and could be read.
Now it was time for the tricky part: I had only a true/false blind SQL injection which means that I could only bruteforce the configuration file char by char. Since the length of the file was more than 10000 chars this would have taken way too long.
I compared the few bruteforced characters to a known apache configuration file trying to map the characters to a common configuration comment. This worked for most of the character sequences but unfortunately almost every configuration file is a bit different so that it was not possible to calculate the correct offset of the DocumentRoot setting once another setting had been identified. I bruteforced only alphanumerical strings to save time. For example the bruteforced string "dulesthoselisted" could be mapped to the comment "modules (those listed by `httpd -l')" and so on.
After the 10th shot I luckily hit the DocumentRoot setting comment at offset 7467 and after this it was possible to calculate the correct offset for the beginning of the DocumentRoot setting and I could retrieve "srvhttpdhtdocs" (DocumentRoot: /srv/httpd/htdocs/).
While that worked fine during the hectics of the CTF and was better than a bruteforce on the whole configuration file, I thought about it again yesterday and thought that this technique was plain stupid ;).
No magic here, but a helpful combination of mysql build in functions when reading files blindly.

Five heroes harness the mystical Samurai Symbols of Power to fight evil Master Xandred and his army of Nighloks. Xandred is stuck on a junk in the Sanzu River and plans to flood the planet. They are not alone in their struggle. An all-knowing mentor and special spirit animals called Zords aid in their attack against the relentless dark forces. Under the guidance of Mentor Ji and their devoted animal zords, these rangers aren't going to give up that easily. Red Ranger Jayden the serious samurai leader, Blue Ranger Kevin the former Olympic swimmer hopeful, Green Ranger Mike the funny one who needs more training, Pink Ranger Mia the big sister, and Yellow Ranger Emily the youngest country girl, who has a sick sister. Their powers have been passed from parent to child all the way from ancient times in Japan. When they make their handheld Folding Zords big, they engage Mega Mode and enter technological cockpits to wield the behemoths and merge them into warrior-like fighting machines.


This was actually the third cooking the books gathering. I still haven't blogged the second gathering, but you can see Thanh's round up instead.
We weren't able to get into The Cooking Space, so Cherrie was lovely enough to open up her home (especially her kitchen), to host the Thai food feast.
Shock horror! I book I don't own was chosen. I had nearly bought this book on several occasions, and own David Thompson's other book. I could have bought it for $45 but now it retails for $100! So I'll be waiting for it to come down in price before I think about purchasing it again. Luckily, Agnes kindly photographed a recipe to work from, saving me $100 (thanks Agnes!).
I had seen the recipe list and originally chosen the pandan layer cake and a prawn curry; but after flicking through the book at a shop, I changed my mind to the crab wonton and barbeque pork soup. I have never made anything with such a long ingredients list!
We also got to meet Kat's (fairly new) bundle of joy; we will now have a mini foodie in the group; and she will be eating solids soon!
So here is a photo journal of what we ate. Everything was delicious (as usual) and we all left with food comas (also as usual). Thanks to everyone that came, can't wait for the next one.
The cheesy cupcakes were fantastic! I hope Cherrie posts the recipe!
Kat (Spatula Spoon Saturday) also made mixed vegetable and pork belly soup which we forgot to eat! As well as sticky rice.
To cook a live crab, despatch it humanely by placing in the freezer for about an hour, then boil or steam the beast for 6-10 minutes per kg (3-5 minutes per lb), depending on the variety. The yield of crabmeat will be in the region of 40-50 per cent of the weight of the crab in its shell.
I really do believe that stock is best used on the day it is made, but that is not always possible. If keeping stock, allow it to cool then over and refrigerate. It will keep for 2 or 3 days chilled, longer frozen. When reheating add a slice or two of ginger to rejuvenate it.
1. First make the stock. Wash the bones and place in a stockpot or large pan. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Drain, then rinse the bones well. Return the bones to the pan, along with the vegetables and spices. Cover with about 3 litres (3 quarts) of cold water and bring to the boil, skimming as needed. Add the salt, soy sauce and sugar, then simmer gently for a few hours. This should make about 2 litres (2 quarts) of stock.
2. Next make the wontons. Mix together all the ingredients except the wonton skins and leave the filling to marinate for 30 minutes. Have a bowl of water and a chopstick or teaspoon at the ready. Place a wonton skin in the palm of one hand, holding it with one of the corners pointing toward your fingertips. Using the chopstick or wooden spoon, place about 1/2 teaspoon of the filling in the centre. Dampen the top and bottom corners of the wonton skin, then fold the bottom half over the filling to make a loose triangle and press to seal. Bring the left-hand corner across the centre, then bring the righ-hand corner across. Now dampen the top of the wonton and fold down the top corner, pinching and crimping to form the wonton. Repeat with the remaining wonton skins and stuffing. Keep the finished wontons covered with a slightly damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
3. Bring the pork stock to the boil – it must be a rolling boil when it is ladled over the wontons.
4. Bring another large pan of salted water to the boil. Blanch the wontons in this, then scoop them out and refresh under cold water to rinse off any excess starch. Return the wontons to the pan of boiling water, along with the choy sum, and simmer for a moment. Take out and drain.
5. Place four wontons and some choy sum in each bowl and ladle over about a cup of the boiling pork stock. Top with the sliced barbeque pork, extra crabmeat (if using), deep-fried garlic, preserved Chinese vegetable, spring onions and coriander. Sprinkle with pepper.
6. Serve accompanied by fish sauce, roasted chilli powder, white sugar and chilllies steeped in vinegar.
What stunning photos!! I can't believe you posted this so quickly! I guess today's food coma must have given you blogging power!!
Do you tweak your photos much?
i suspect just a bit =P. some lightroom processing, tone curve adjustment? must admit i'm guilty of that too HAHA, makes photos so much nicer with a small tweak.
Definitely some lightroom goes into them all. Brightness/contrast and a few other things in those categories. Haven't played with tone curve yet!
Shellie you always manage to make everything look AMAZING! This looks like a perfect thai feast!
That cooking the book idea is awesome. I really want that book but it is so heavy! I saw it discounted for $50! Think I might change my mind and buy it now. Can't believed the list of ingredients is so long.. but nonetheless it looks so delicious and worth it :)!
yes it is heavy! but had some gorgeous photography. Not sure how often I'd cook from it since I haven't made a thing from his other book!
Kat's girl is such a cute! I get all mooshy when I see photos cos she is just adorable! Enjoy cooking!
Excellent photos Michele. Nice use of ICS style as usual. I have to say that I'm not too fond of the text on the photo, draws away from the actual photo. That's just my opinion though.
I am SO using some of these recipes.
Thanks Mez! Oh no I hate when my parents visit the family and don't take me with them either.
The spread looks so good!
What a feast and bummer that I missed out! Everyone made a great effort. I do love this cookbook. Very very inspiring.
I guess being in a food coma gets you in the mood for blogging LOL. It was great fun. Glad I was able to host this month's. Looking forward to the next one.
yeah, who knows, have blogging mojo back for a while! Def looking forward to the next one!
Everything tasted as good as it looked! Gorgeous photos. Great recipes .. am going to try more. Another wonderful feast.
The list of ingredients certainly looks long. But looking at all the beautiful dishes, I'm pretty sure it was worth the effort:) Having food coma is always fun!!
That's cos there are no shortcuts with his recipes!! But yes, the stock tasted better than anything I could have bought.
What an amazing feast!! Looks like you had so much fun.
Oh everything looks scrum-diddly-umptious ! What a great idea for test-running cook books.
I love this book! I so haven't cooked anything from it yet, but these photos are sure motivating me to do so. All the food looks so so good!
WOW – I need to get myself that book and make that pork belly recipe. Thanks for sharing!


The city tour may begin in Commerce Square, the great neoclassical square that anchors the city to the Tagus river. Walk along the river to feel the city.

In this webinar, Dr. Simon Gadbois will present information on canine olfactory processing from an integrative perspective: Neurobiology, evolution, ecology, and psychophysics. The webinar will start by discussing the biological foundations of olfaction (neurobiology, evolution, ecology) and will then proceed to discuss the rarely discussed (and yet very active) field of olfactory psychophysics and the methods that are relevant (and also mostly ignored) to olfactory processing. Examples from Gadbois' areas of research in olfaction (with canines particularly, but also with molluscs, fish, and reptiles) will be discussed in the context of wildlife conservation canines and biomedical detection and diagnosis canines.

'Jingle Jangle': The Lack of Diversity in 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' Inspired Netflix's Christmas Classic
Writer-director David E. Talbert spoke to IndieWire about his 22-year journey to get the holiday movie spectacle produced.
Tambay Obenson
Writer-director David E. Talbert's new film, "Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey," is a Netflix musical set in the vibrant fictional town of Cobbleton, and follows renowned toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Forest Whitaker) whose whimsical inventions are wondrous. But when his apprentice (Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it's up to his precocious granddaughter (Madalen Mills) to retrieve all that has been lost. Twenty-two years in the making, it's an ambitious spectacle that's unlike anything Talbert — whose previous film credits include dramedies "First Sunday" (2008), "Baggage Claim," and "Almost Christmas" — has ever done before.
"If you look at my catalog before 'Jingle Jangle,' it's hard to say [that] this same guy was going to do this expensive, epic, visual effects-heavy, period musical, but these are the kinds of films that I watched growing up. It's always been in me to do it, but I just never had a path to get here," Talbert said in a recent interview with IndieWire. "Netflix carved a path for me. I've been playing around with music on the stage for 25 years. It was like, 'Man, can we hurry up and roll these cameras before somebody says, 'I was just kidding.'"

Talbert, who started his career as a playwright, grew up on popular musical fantasy films like the original "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," which he said is one of his all-time favorite movies. But he didn't have much luck passing his appreciation down to his young son, Elias.
Talbert remembered, with humor, showing his four-year-old the Dick Van Dyke-starrer for the first time in 2017. "I sat with him and I'm singing the songs and everything, and he just wasn't into it at all, and asked if he could go play with his LEGOs," said Talbert. "As he walked away, I looked at him, I looked at the screen, and I realized, he doesn't see himself in the film. But this was my childhood, because there were no other options for diversity of representation on the screen at the time. He has Black Panther and Miles Morales on his wall. So that's when I thought, it's time to do it, because if my son is experiencing this, how many sons and daughters of color, around the world want to see themselves represented as well?"
Talbert originally conceived "Jingle Jangle" as a Broadway show before approaching it as a film. Universal and Disney loved the idea but ultimately passed, leaving a lane open for Netflix. "Netflix is a global company, so they understand that there are people of color all around the world. They want to reach those people, and so they took a big bet on me," said Talbert. "Now, the path to get it to the stage is obvious, and that's what I am gearing up for: a perennial Broadway production of 'Jingle Jangle.'"
Netflix released the film in 90 theaters on November 13, but the COVID-19 crisis made a premiere impossible. "A kind of trade-off is that people are home, so more eyeballs will be on this than there would have been if we weren't in this pandemic," Talbert said. "My letdown is probably the lack of a premiere, because you get a chance to celebrate with your peers, in a big Hollywood red-carpet event, and all of that. But I'm spiritual in the sense that everything happens the way it's supposed to, if you're in tune with your purpose. I mourned it quickly and moved on."
In addition to Whitaker, Key, and newcomer Mills, the film's multicultural cast includes Anika Noni Rose, Phylicia Rashad, Ricky Martin, and Hugh Bonneville. It's a powerhouse group of actors with theatrical and film experience. "When you're looking at something groundbreaking, it was that spirit that I think captured everybody," he said. "I wanted to make sure I populated it with people who knew their way around the stage, great storytellers, great actors, actresses. I sought them out, I think they sought me out too, and it was just a perfect storm."

It took a four-month, global search to find the film's young female lead. Madalen Mills makes her feature film debut as Journey Jangle, who shares Jeronicus' passion for invention. She's already a Broadway veteran with credits in "School of Rock: The Musical" and in the 2017 national touring company of "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical."
"We saw her and it was clear for everybody that she didn't come there to audition for the role, she came there to claim what was hers," Talbert said. "I think we're watching Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, and Stephanie Mills all wrapped up in one with her."
The efforts of the director and his producer wife, Lyn Sisson-Talbert, are paying off, with early reviews applauding the film as an instant classic that could entertain for generations. Its Rotten Tomatoes rating is currently 93 percent. With an all-black cast, it's the kind of project that likely wouldn't be greenlit a decade ago. Talbert credits Jordan Peele's "Get Out" and Ryan Coogler's "Black Panther" as the films that "blew the roof off," in terms of the critical and commercial success of genre films with Black casts.
"I joke all the time that I'm doing Blamblin, as in Black Amblin, because that's what I want to do — big action, adventure, wonder, heightened universes that Steven Spielberg put out into the world, that spoke to me as a kid, and still as an adult," he said. "There are a only a handful of people like me in this business who get to do that. So, it's just a great opportunity to push the envelope so that it'll be easier for the people coming behind me who look like me."
Up next for Talbert, he's prepping "a big romance" as well as "a big action-adventure" — projects he's been writing off and on for years. He feels like now is a good time to dust them off, given what seems to be studios' newfound appreciation for Black content. "At the end of the day, success is being able to do what you love," he said. "If you're able to be compensated well, that's the cherry on top. As the zeros and the commas come, I'll take that, but that does not define me. Doing what's from my heart, my soul, doing what I love and being able to share it with the world, that is success for me."
"Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey" is now streaming on Netflix.

Anti-Glaucoma Medications (AGM) become an integral part of every person's life, from the day; he or she is diagnosed with glaucoma. It is well documented that non-compliance towards glaucoma eye drop medications could result in unnecessary changes to medications or listing for more invasive procedures, increasing risk to the patient and costs to the health-care establishment. Also, glaucoma patients having lower compliance rates are at a higher risk of developing irreversible vision loss due to glaucoma, than patients with strict compliance. So far, there are many studies published, focusing on AGM compliance behavior among illiterate and rural glaucoma patients in India. Hence in this manuscript, we have presented the review of literature on compliance behavior, among literate glaucoma patients from an urban background; and proposed various novel and innovative, cost-effective strategies with augmented reality, real-time moving images, and eye drops reminding mobile applications to strengthen the literate glaucoma patient's understanding of their disease process and give them a timely reminder about AGM usage.

Anti-glaucoma medications; Medication compliance; Intraocular pressure; Indian population.
The global prevalence of glaucoma for populations aged between 40 to 80 years is 3.54%, and the prevalence of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is highest in Africa at 4.20%, and the prevalence of primary angle-closure Glaucoma (PACG) is highest in Asia at 1.09% [1]. In India, there are approximately 11.2 million persons aged 40 years and older with glaucoma, among which 6.48 million persons are estimated to be affected with POAG, and 2.54 million persons are estimated to be affected with PACG [2]. People living in urban areas are more likely to have POAG than those in rural areas [1].
In 2017, the rural population in the country amounted to about 450 million, and was estimated to reach 506 million in 2022 [3]. 2011 census data revealed that in India, the rural and urban distribution among the population is 72.18% and 27.82% respectively [4]. The national average literacy rate of India is 77.7%, with 64.7% in the rural population and 79.5% in the urban population as of 2014 [5]. Most of the people living in urban areas are expected to be well-read and literate; hence, ophthalmologists tend to expect them to have better compliance and adherence to anti-glaucoma medications (AGM). But the fact is, even urbanization and literacy do not have much impact on AGM compliance [6].
Urbanization, literacy and AGM compliance
In developed and developing countries, non-compliance towards AGM has been found to be variable [7]. India being a developing country, the focus population for the majority of the compliance studies are illiterate rural glaucoma patients; baring the novel study recently done by Ramesh, et al. on AGM compliance among literate people attending an urban tertiary care center [6]. Ramesh, et al. reported poor compliance and adherence, even among the literate patients [6]. When comparing studies on AGM compliance conducted a few years back with the present-day ones, there was an increase in noncompliance rates [7]. This suggests an urgent need in patient counselling for proper and timely application of AGM, as advised by the treating physician. Literacy and urbanization seem to have no impact on compliance towards AGM therapy, hence, strategies combating compliance issues should also focus on urban literate patients [8].
The forsaken or ignored population, when it comes to studying the AGM compliance behavior
Instillation of AGM is a mandatory part of every glaucoma patient's daily routine, unless they have undergone any surgical or laser therapy, for achieving their target intraocular pressure. However sincere, the glaucoma patients are, in applying their drops, there is always a possibility of non-compliance during some part during their lifetime. Also, in developing countries like India, patients may have a perception that AGM is costly [9]. Hence, the majority of the studies target the rural, low socioeconomic population, missing out on the higher socioeconomic population. Urban and literate glaucoma patients are also conveniently ignored, when it comes to exploration and assessment of patient's compliance toward AGM therapy, especially in India. This population may fall in the glaucoma specialist's blind spot, as ophthalmologists would expect them to be well-read, and be aware of glaucoma and its devastating consequences. So, compliance studies focusing on urban literate Indian population are relatively an untapped area [6]. The literature review also supports this statement.
Currently, there is only one study by Ramesh, et al., which primarily deals with literate primary glaucoma patients, and explores their compliance, and factors related to compliance behavior such as application, purchase, stocking, etc., in South India. Ramesh, et al. has stated that the compliance to AGM was less (49.5%) even among literate patients, who visited an urban tertiary eye care center. The causes for poor compliance among urban literate patients were quite different from the causes of poor compliance among rural illiterate patients. Relative priority (45%), forgetfulness (35%), medications getting over (8%), no reason (6%), emotional factors (4%), and lack of information (2%) were the major culprits among the urban literate glaucoma patients, opening up a new area of psychological and mental lethargy among them, towards AGM compliance, in today's fast-moving world [6].
Incepting cutting edge technology to combat noncompliance among urban literate patients
Keeping in mind the various reasons for poor compliance and adherence among the literate patients, we devised novel smartphone applications, to combat poor compliance, along with the mandatory clinical counselling. In India, among the population of 1.3 billion, there are 1.8 billion mobile phones with 92.03 connections per 100 citizen; roughly half (49.7%) of the mobile phone users have a smartphone [10,11]. Also, there is no dearth of smartphone usage among literate urban population, as smartphones are commonly used in their day-today living. Hence, we have created strategies to address compliance issues through smartphone applications, thus giving them simplified e-counselling data at their fingertip, in their own space of comfort [12]. We have innovated programs featuring augmented reality (Eye MG AR), real-time moving confocal images (Eye MG 3D), and eye drops reminding mobile applications (Eye Drop Reminder Lite) to strengthen urban literate glaucoma patients' understanding of their disease process, and give them a customized timely reminder about their AGM usage.
Clinical counselling can be done using our novel mobile apps such as Eye MG 3D & Eye MG AR (Figures 1 and 2) [13,14]. Also, we have innovated an app (Eye Drop Reminder Lite) for reminding the time of AGM applications, through customized notifications, whenever it's due (Figure 3)[15]. According to our experience with these applications, patients understood their disease process and importance of therapy in a better way, and are more likely to be adherent to their medications. A prospective survey of patients attending their glaucoma followup across two sites (Moorfield's South at St Georges Hospital and Princess Royal University Hospital) revealed, 8/50 (16%) patients admitted to missing eye drops [16].
Figure 1: Image showing the 3D e-counselling glaucoma app (Eye MG 3D), which can be used for counselling patients for anti-glaucoma drops instillation, YAG peripheral iridotomy, and trabeculectomy. Eye MG 3D app is currently available on the Google Play Store for free download, for Android users.
Figure 2: Image showing the 3D e-counselling augmented reality app (Eye MG AR), which can be used for glaucoma counselling by showing the patient?s own realtime TrueColor confocal fundus signs of glaucoma, such as splinter hemorrhages and retinal nerve fibre layer defects. Eye MG AR app is currently available on the Google Play Store for free download, for Android users.
Figure 3: Image showing the Eye Drop Reminder Lite app, which can be used as a reminder tool for drops instillation, and also provide information about AGM therapy. Eye Drop Reminder Lite app is currently available on the Google Play Store and the App Store for free download, for Android users and iPhone users respectively.
The main reasons were difficulty in remembering drops, unsure which drops to take and running out of drops. Out of those 50 patients who completed the questionnaire, 41 (82%) had access to computer technology; out of which 18 patients (44%) had access to a smartphone. Out of those who responded, 26/43 (60%) said that they would use a medication adherence app for strengthening their AGM compliance [16].
Although, it is often perceived that glaucoma patients of developing countries have limited access to smartphones, a large proportion of urban literate patients of developing countries do have access to smartphone technology and are willing to use them to improve their health outcomes. Hence, proper counselling, educative and AGM application reminder tools, will give patients the confidence to rely on AGM for their lifetime, with good and effortless compliance. However, to what degree non-compliance affects the progression of glaucoma and visual field defects is a grey area, and we are currently in the process of developing an app that may help to answer this question.
The unique selling point (USP) of this manuscript is the implication of the three innovative mobile applications created by us, in the field of glaucoma to improve patient healthcare. These three applications are free to download for all smartphone users and help strengthen compliance to AGM.
These high-tech counselling tools are not easily accessible for glaucoma patients from rural areas, where smartphone users are hard to find. However, they can work wonders in an urban literate population, who knows in and out, how to use a smartphone. Since in this manuscript, we are addressing the compliance issues faced by the urban literate glaucoma population, these gadgets and technology will help in delivering fruitful results among them. However, one should bear in mind, similar strategies may not work among the illiterate and rural populations. To conclude, further studies should be carried out in the future, focussing on urban and literate glaucoma patients in India, and different strategies should be framed accordingly for that population, who has so far conveniently fallen in our blind spot.
