FILM; Revealing an Iran Where the Chadors Are Most Chic

by Godfrey Cheshire Nov. 8, 1998

IN the sweepstakes for the title Most Interesting and Accomplished Filmmaker the United States Has Never Heard Of, Dariush Mehrjui has certain obvious advantages. While still in his 20's, the Iranian director made ''The Cow'' (1969), a film so powerful that it not only was credited with launching Iran's modern cinema but also, a decade later, made a fan of the Ayatollah Khomeini and thus helped assure that country's cinema of having a post-Revolutionary phase. Cosmopolitan and ever-controversial, Mr. Mehrjui has had films banned by the Shah's regime and the Islamic Republic, and almost surely is the only filmmaker reared a devout Muslim who counts the novelists J. D. Salinger and Saul Bellow as major influences on his work. He's even made a film of Mr. Salinger's ''Franny and Zooey,'' called ''Pari,'' set in contemporary Iran.

That film, and a retrospective of eight other movies by Dariush Mehrjui, will be shown starting on Friday, when the Film Society of Lincoln Center begins a three-week series on Iranian film.

While the extent of Mr. Mehrjui's career may come as news to American cinephiles, his importance is universally recognized in Iran. In 1997, when the respected Iranian journal Film Monthly polled its readers and critics, the results showed that the readers regarded Mr. Mehrjui's ''Hamoon,'' a dark satire of modern Iran, as the best Iranian film in history, ahead of such internationally acclaimed works as Abbas Kiarostami's ''Through the Olive Trees'' and Mohsen Makhmalbaf's ''Gabbeh.'' The critics, meanwhile, ranked Mr. Mehrjui higher in importance than Mr. Kiarostami and Mr. Makhmalbaf, and cited ''Hamoon'' as more significant than any of their films.

So why hasn't his renown traveled as well as others'? Back in 1971, ''The Cow'' won prizes at film festivals in Chicago and Venice, and even some of his more recent films have captured international awards (his ''Leila'' played last spring's New Directors/ New Films series at the Museum of Modern Art). Yet in the last decade Mr. Mehrjui hasn't been favored by many of the top European film festivals, and the reasons evoke a paradox that goes to the heart of his work and its cultural resonances.

When asked, European festival programmers usually say that they bypass Mr. Mehrjui's films because his work is ''too Western.'' That opinion provokes howls of disbelieving laughter in Iran. Iranians feel sure they know why the West doesn't ''get'' Mr. Mehrjui, and they'll gladly tell you: it's that his films are ''too Iranian.''

Both perceptions stem from the fact that, virtually alone among Iranian directors, Mr. Mehrjui deals regularly, knowingly and provocatively with Iran's middle and upper-middle classes. His characters drive BMWs, wear chadors that are distinctly chic, and argue (endlessly) over art, religion, divorce settlements and real-estate deals. At a time when ''Iranian cinema'' internationally connotes a certain distanced exoticism, views of rug-weaving nomads or impoverished children against crumbling buildings, Mr. Mehrjui's sleek, educated, post-modern Teheran is clearly anomalous.

But hardly forbidding. ''You see his characters and feel like you could step into their living rooms and be perfectly comfortable,'' says Richard Pena, the programming director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center, which included Mehrjui films in its two previous Iranian festivals.

MR. MEHRJUI, who lives with his wife, Farial, a Harvard-educated architect, and their two children in genteel northern Teheran, belongs to the world he describes. Born in 1939 to a middle-class family, he describes himself as being intensely interested in music, fiction, religion, philosophy and other subjects as a teen-ager. Vittorio De Sica's neorealist classic ''The Bicycle Thief'' was the film that sparked his interest in cinema. After learning English and investigating what were then a very small group of universities abroad that taught film, he selected the University of California at Los Angeles and enrolled in 1959.

The experience proved disillusioning. He was excited by the visions of Antonioni, Fellini and Godard, filmmakers never mentioned by his professors, who, Mr. Mehrjui recalled, ''were the kind of people who had not been able to make it in Hollywood themselves but would bring the rotten atmosphere of Hollywood to the class and impose it on us.'' He switched his major to philosophy.

Returning to Iran in 1965, he took an offer to direct a James Bond spoof that set new standards for technical ambition in Iran but was a commercial disappointment. His artistic career began with his second feature.

''The Cow'' remains a dazzling achievement, the most impressive of Mr. Mehrjui's pre-Revolutionary features. Showing the influence of the neorealist works he admired, the film depicts a poor village thrown into turmoil by the loss of its one cow, whose owner develops a mad identification with the dead animal.

Spare, allusive, featuring starkly beautiful black and white photography and an extraordinary lead performance by Ezatollah Entezami, now Iran's most revered actor, ''The Cow'' had a catalytic effect on Iran's filmmakers and critics. But the Shah's government, which had funded it, bristled at the film's depiction of poverty and suppressed its public display.

Social themes remained at the center of his work through the 70's. ''Mr. Simpleton'' (1970), a satire about a bumpkin seduced by Teheran's big-city ways, was his one box office smash during this period, and the one film not to run afoul of official views. ''Postman'' (1971), a free adaptation of Georg Buchner's ''Wozzeck,'' won prizes at the Venice Film Festival but provoked the Shah's censors, while ''The Cycle'' (1974), a blistering drama about poor people forced to sell their blood, was slapped with a ban that lasted three years.

In the months before the 1979 Revolution, Mr. Mehrjui spent time in France filming the Ayatollah Khomeini, whom he supported, and other exiled anti-Shah leaders. Watching ''The Cow'' reportedly spurred Khomeini to comment approvingly on the cinema's social uses, a statement that proved valuable to progressive officials trying to revive the film industry under the Islamic Republic.

After a sojourn in France, where he made a meditative docudrama about the poet Rimbaud, Mr. Mehrjui returned to Iran and found his post-Revolutionary voice in ''The Tenants'' (1987), an exuberant, brilliantly mounted comedy about a group of apartment dwellers at war with the slick realtor who wants to evict them. The Islamic Republic's first runaway hit, the film, like other Mehrjui works, still amazes with its stingingly direct satire of contemporary social discontents.

''Hamoon'' (1990), which I, like Iranians, consider his best film, tells of a hapless 40-year-old intellectual undergoing a mental meltdown as his marriage unravels. The most autobiographical of his movies, the dark comedy-drama shows a third world society invaded by Toshiba and Sony, where characters fixate on their connections to Kierkegaard and Salinger as well as to Islamic religious figures, and where the protagonist's artist wife shouts at her beleaguered lawyer, ''Women have no rights in this country!''

That accusation leads directly to the four female-centered films Mr. Mehrjui made next. ''Banoo'' (1992), a brooding satire loosely based on Bunuel's ''Viridiana,'' about a rich women whose house is invaded by poor people, has been banned since completion. ''Sara'' (1994) and ''Pari'' (1995) transfer well-known Western literary works -- Ibsen's ''A Doll's House'' and Mr. Salinger's ''Franny and Zooey,'' respectively -- to contemporary Iran with fascinating results. (Both films star the popular young actress Niki Karimi, who will appear with a group of Iranian women filmmakers at a Nov. 20 screening.) And ''Leila,'' a melodrama about a young wife whose in-laws pressure her to allow her husband to take a second wife, has the distinction of being the first Mehrjui film picked up for United States distribution; it will be released in the spring by First Run Features.

His most recent film, which he will introduce at the series opening on Friday, is ''The Pear Tree.'' It depicts a writer recalling his adolescence in the idyllic Teheran of decades past. A lyrical, burnished memory film, it occasioned one of the director's slyest end runs around the censor: unable to show the hair of the teen-age girl who dominates the story's flashback, he depicts the character getting her head shaved because of lice, then wearing a ''wig'' that looks suspiciously like the young actress's hair. The witty ruse typifies the ingenuity of a director who has managed to chronicle the fortunes of Iranians through three decades of shifting political winds.

Syeikh Abdul Halim Mahmud

Kehidupan Awal

Syeikh Abdul Halim Mahmud lahir pada 12 Mei 1910,bersamaan 2 Jamadil Awal 1328 hijrah di desa Abou Ahmed (sekarang Al Salam), di kawasan Pentadbiran Bilbeis Sharqeya, 50 kilometer timur laut Kaherah, Mesir.Beliau dibesarkan dalam sebuah keluarga pertengahan dan mempunyai pertalian keturunan(nasab) dari cucu al-hussein hingga rasulullah sallahualaihiwassalam.Ayahnya adalah seorang Azhari(bekas pelajar Azhar) dan bekerja sebagai seorang hakim desa.Syeikh Abd al-Halim mula menghafal Al-Qur'an di desa Kuttab.beliau menyelesaikan hafalan tersebut pada usia yang sangat muda.Oleh kerana itu,beliau tidak boleh mendapatkan pendidikan Azhar,selepas menghafal al-Quran kerana ketika itu, usianya masih muda.Pada tahun 1923 Syaikh Abd al-Halim pergi ke Kaherah bersama ayahnya untuk mendaftar dalam Azhar(pendidikan dasar). Dua tahun kemudian beliau dihantar ke al-Zaqaziq untuk meneruskan pendidikan di sana yang baru di buka oleh pihak lembaga utama Azhar.Ada beberapa petunjuk bahawa Syeikh Abd al-Halim boleh diambil belajar pada usia muda.Beliau perlu memenuhi beberapa syarat yang di tetapkan untuk belajar di sekolah yang baru di buka dengan syarat,beliau mesti lulus dalam pembelajarannya.Manakala Ayah Syeikh Abd Halim berkeras dan berkata bahawa Syeikh muda ini,perlu meneruskan pendidikan Azharinya.Akhirnya,syeikh Abd Halim di benarkan menyambung pengajiannya dengan belajar tiga kurikulum secara bersamaan.Syeikh Abd Halim mula mendapatkan pendidikan tinggi di Universiti Azhar pada tahun 1928. Pada waktu itu pendidikan Azhar tidak dibahagikan pada beberapa Fakulti.Syeikh Abd Halim Mahmud menuntut ilmu dengan beberapa orang Guru syeikh Azahar yang terkenal pada masa itu seperti Syeikh Mahmud Shaltut, Syeikh Hamid Meheisen, Syeikh al-Zankaloni, Syeikh Muhammad Abd-Allah Daraz, Syeikh Muhammad Mustafa al-Maraghi dan Syeikh Mustafa Abdurraziq.ketika Syeikh Abd Halim bergelar seorang mahasiswa,beliau mula aktif berpersatuan dan menyertai dua persatuan iaitu persatuan pemuda Muslim (Jam'iyat al-Shubban al-Muslimin) dan persatuan bimbingan Islam (Jam'iyat al-Hidaya al-Islamiya) dimana presidennya ketika itu ialah Syeikh Muhammad al-Khidr Husain.Pada tahun 1932, Syeikh Abd Halim lulus al-Azhar.Setelah lulus,beliau pergi ke Perancis melanjutkan pelajarannya didampingi isteri tercinta.Berkat usahanya yang gigih,tanpa mengenal penat dan lelah beliau akhirnya berjaya memperolehi gelaran Doktor dalam bidang Falsafah dari Universite de Paris - La Sorbonne pada tahun 1940.Syeikh Abd al-Halim menyelesaikan tesisnya dalam bidang tasawuf dan mengkaji kehidupan al-Harith ibn-Asad Al-Muhasibi pada tahun 1940.

“Tidak ada ketaatan kepada makhluk dalam bermaksiat kepada Allah, sesungguhnya ketaatan itu dalam kebaikan.” (HR. Al-Bukhari dan Muslim dari shahabat ‘Ali bin Abi Thalib radhiallahu ‘anhu).Pada pertengahan 70-an,beberapa pegawai Mesir ingin mengeluarkan undang-undang perceraian yang bertentangan dengan syariat Islam. Syeikh Dr Abd al-Halim dengan tegas dan menentang undang-undang tersebut.

Pemikiran Komunisme

Pada awal tahun 70-an juga,pemikiran komunisme amat popular di kalangan golongan elit dan mahasiswa.Syeikh Dr Abd Halim mengeluarkan risalah dan buku-buku amaran terhadap masyarakat Islam tentang bahayanya ancaman pemikiran komunisme.Syeikh Dr Abd Halim cuba menyatukan para penceramah Muslim.Hal ini belum pernah terjadi dan beliau membangunkan sebuah jawatankuasa untuk dakwah Islam yang meliputi Pihak Azhar,kelompok Islam dan Ahli sufi.Beliau juga menubuhkan organisasi dakwah berkaitan al-Azhar di luar Mesir.Syeikh Dr Abd Halim adalah seorang Syeikh Azhar yang berkaliber dan banyak memberikan jasa terhadap kebangkitan Islam.Beliau telah menyeru pada masyarakat awam(setempat)supaya melaksanakan syariat Islam.Ketika itu,beliau berhadapan dengan para pegawai pemerintah Mesir,mereka mengatakan bahawa mereka memerlukan masa panjang untuk menyenaraikan hukum-hukum Islam.Beliau juga membentuk beberapa jawatankuasa pemerhati dan pemantau yang terdiri daripada kelulusan Sarjana Azhari untuk mengawasi proses butiran yang di lakukan pihak kerajaan.Bahkan ketika itu,Syeikh Abd Halim Mahmud dibawa ke hospital lantaran kesihatannya yang semakin buruk.Kembali KerahmatullahPada tahun 1978,Syeikh Abd Halim Mahmud meninggal dunia pada tarikh 15 Zul Qaedah 1397 hijriah bersamaan dengan 17 oktober 1978 masihi dan di kuburkan di kampungnya,Bilbeis Sharqeya.

Cand am spus la o sedinta cu parintii ca cei mici au prea multe lectii toti parintii mi-au sarit in ap. Ulterior am aflat ca unui tătic îi venea să mă și bată pentru stupiditatea de a fi ridicat o asemenea problemă. Nu spusesm decât că copii noștrii muncesc spre 10 ore pe zi, și că nu mai au copilărie și că asociază învățarea cu download-area de informații în creier. Cât mai multe, fără discernământ. Din vreo 28 de părinți doar 2 (DOI!) au fost de acord cu mine. Ambele mame de copii ff buni. https://www.simonatache.ro/2015/01/23/o-sa-las-si-eu-aici-pe-internet-acest-textulet -- in loc sa predai bine si atractiv mai bine bagi teme la greu, sa pari exigent si competent. cam asta e faza. de multe ori copilul nici nu stie sa rezolve ceva acasa pentru ca nu s-a predat mai nimic in clasa...solutia? MEDITATII -- Pana si cartile de povesti sunt scrise tampit. Ma chinui sa sar peste cacofonii si formulari gramaticale greoaie si inutile. Imi vine sa rescriu textul si sa-l lipesc peste cel din carte -- Scoala veche, ante- sau interbelica, forma oameni CUM sa gandeasca. Valabil si pentru universitate, nu numai in preuniversitar. Ce faceau dupa aceea cu gandirea, era treaba lor. Scoala noua e gandita sa pregateasca oamenii CE sa gandeasca, pentru a-i pregati pentru Munca. De aceea accentul cade pe asimilarea de informatii necesare unei asemenea munci. Au existat tentative de restructurare, incercand sa readuca materii din programa scolii vechi, crezand ca materiile in sine poarta plus sau minus valoare. Numai ca n-a iesit nimic bun din asta. In fapt, trebuie revenit la sistemul vechi educational, nu la materiile lui. Am mai scris si cu alte prilejuri pe langa postarile lui Radu ca pruncul sau adolescentul trebuie sa aiba perspective. Ce face cu ele dupa absolvire, aia e treaba lui. Pana una alta, va sfatuiesc ce au facut parintii mei: m-au educat acasa, iar aia e singura educatie care a rezistat. asta e malaxorul Sistemului. -- Mi-aduce aminte de unul din momentele mele "rebele" din timpul scolii, cand i-am spus profesoarei de engleza ca nu poate sa-mi dea 4 pentru tema nefacuta pentru ca notele sunt instrumentul didactic de evaluare a cunostintelor elevului (si nu au legatura cu ce fac in afara scolii), iar daca vrea sa-mi testele cunostintele sunt dispus aici si acum. :)) Evident ca ea nu era deloc pregatita pt asa o situatie, asa ca si-a trantit pixul de podea si a iesit tipand ca se duce la director - fara sa se mai intoarca si fara sa mai pomenesca apoi vreodata de incident. --

1. In primul rind copiii (ca si parintii lor) trebuie invatati sa se compare numai cu ei insusi. Orice referire la colegi si premiile lor meritate sau nu sint din punctul meu de vedere complet nepotrivite.

2. Asa cum parintii au servicii si obligatii si copiii au ‘servicii’ = scoala si obligatii = lectii. Unii profesori sint mai exigenti, altii nu; un an scolar e mai lejer, altul nu. Asa e si in viata prin urmare nu le mai plingeti de mila ca supravietuiesc.

3. Gasesc ca modul in care se preda in tara si rigiditatea profesorilor sint in parte motivele pentru care unor copii le e frica sa participe in clasa. Jena de a fi facuti de ris infrineaza curgerea de idei.

4. Scoala romaneasca oferea si probabil inca ofera o pregatire academica si cunostinte generale bune. Nu ne pregatea insa pentru realitatile vremii. Noi cei formati pe vremea ‘veche’ nici ca ne trebuia sa ne descurcam in viata ca doar aveam toti joburi si salarii asigurate.

5. Sistemul de invatamint American merge bine, ba chiar foarte bine zic eu. Trebuie insa sa-l intelegi. Cu permisiunea voastra uite cum am inteles eu ca sta treaba asta:

· In linii mari scolile americane (inclusiv liceul) au o reputatie proasta in lume (adevarat).

· Fiecare zona are un Board of Education responsabil pentru alegerea cursurilor, etc. care este platit de taxele locale ale zonei. Zonele cu scoli bune-foarte bune sint si cele cu parinti exigenti si taxe mai mari.

· Se considera o zona buna cea unde numarul de cursuri AP oferite la liceu este mare. Advanced Placement cursuri sint la nivel de college predate de profesori cu o pregatire superioara. Sint licee care ofera 1 AP curs in toti cei 4 ani de liceu si licee cu 24 AP cursuri in 4 ani de liceu.

· De la clasa a 3-a copiii talentati sint pusi intr-un program numit ‘gifted and talented’ (denumirile difera de la stat la stat ca si anul in care sint oferite). Astea sint clasele special de matematica, engleza…Motivul pentru care nu sint formate clase numai cu copii talentati este pentru ca au incercat si a iesit prost. Intentia scolii americane este sa pregateasca copiii pentru viata si viata este mixa de la culori si rase la nivele intelectuale. In concluzie cei care pot mai mult sint scosi din clasele lor la orele de matematica, etc dar restul de clase generale le fac la gramada.

· In liceu esti obligat sa iei numai un numar X de clase peste care tu alegi ce alte cursuri vrei sa iei. Deci poti sa iei AP clase cite poti si vrei sau de loc.

In concluzie: scoala Americana este formata pe principiul sa TE ajute sa te dezvolti la potentialul dorit de TINE. Cine vrea sa invete, invata. Profesorii abia asteapta sa aibe studenti doritori sa fie challenged.

Rezultatul sint univeristatile americane. Consultati ‘Shanghai ranking’ sa vedeti ce rezultate produce sistemul de invatamint American. Din primele 50 de univeristati 33 sint americane.

http://www.shanghairanking.com/ARWU2014.html

Daca as fi in locul parintilor cu copii inca in scoala as mai introduce o materie: sinceritatea. Nu as incerca sa scuz sau sa justific de ce X a luat 10 si al meu 8 ci as spune-o pe nume. Da, profesorul a gresit si nu stiu de ce a facut asta dar tu nu te duci la scoala sa iei note; tu te duci la scoala sa capeti cunostinte intelectuale sa poti ulterior sa faci ce meserie vrei. Vrei si tu 10? Ia-l pentru tine si nu pentru ca X l-a luat. --- Absolut adevarat ca aici procesul de admitere universitara are o complexitate ce il determina pe student la responsabilitate si efort sustinut. Am asa daug doar un detaliu, aici in Canada (presupun ca in US este la fel), pentru a graduate high-school, adica pentru a primi diploma si deci a fi apt sa aplice la university, studentul are nevoie sa dovedeasca cu documente, cateva zeci de ore de voluntariat in servicii comunitare acreditate. Probabil ca multi romani ar zice ca este o prostie....dar in realitate este un program de consolidare a responsabilitatii si spiritului civic. Este ca un part time job, unde studentul invata ce inseamna sa fii angajat, sa lucrezi in echipa ca subordonat si intelege prin experienta personala, ca daca vrei sa fii mai sus in societate, atunci trebuie sa mergi mai departe sa studiezi in University. ---

am uitat sa mentionez de voluntariat ca aici parca face parte din curriculum asa de practicat este. Ba chiar multi liceeni se duc in excursii organizate in Africa, America de sud, etc cu misiuni umanitare pentru care ei/parintii platesc.

In legatura cu ‘student lown-urile’este adevarat ca multi termina facultatea cu sume mari de platit inapoi si cu toate astea tot se duc la facultati. Daca nu ar putea fi platite intr-un interval decent nimeni nu s-ar mai indatora. Faptul ca tinerii americani inca se duc la facultati cu bani imprumutati este dovada ca imprumuturile sint platite inapoi intr-un interval de timp mult mai mic zic eu.

O curiozitate este ca de dupa 1990 Princeton University aduce anual in jur de 10 studenti romani majoritatea olimpici la matematica care apoi sfirsesc a lua master la Harvard University (cei mai multi). Nici unul din acesti studenti nu are toti banii de platit si este tinut de facultate. Nota: facultatile foarte bune sint private si au bani de la donori.

Accesul la studii superioare este la dispozitia oricui vrea. Ca numai 20% se duc la facultati nu are nimic de-a face cu capitalismul inteles gresit. Fiecare are oportunitatea sa intre la cele mai bune scoli nu toti insa aleg sa faca asta. Ce nu se stie este ca un numar destul de mare de tineri americani isi deschid business-uri particulare la scurta vreme de la graduarea liceului, ca intr-o societate capitalista sanatoasa. Mai mult chiar, multi se duc 2-4 ani la Community College si apoi deschid business. Baietii mai nou fac landscape si sint cei care iti taie iarba vara si curata zapada iarna. Cum necum e loc pentru toti.

Cind se spune sa ‘shop local’ aici asta se face. Fermele locale sint preferate in particular pentru gradinarit vis a vis de magazinele mari. Restaurantele sint in vasta majoritate locale ca si coaforurile si cam tot ce iti trece prin cap. America a prosperat prin micile busniness-uri prin urmare nu vad nimic gresit ca numai 20% aleg studiile superioare.

Faptul ca in Romania in ziua de azi majoritatea tinerilor sint cu diplome de facultate cum a servit sectorul economic? Raspunsul il stim cu totii. Unii din acesti someri nici nu concept sa faca alte job-uri pentru ca sint licentiati si uite asa iti aduci aminte ca ‘meseria e mina de aur’.

Navier-Stokes Equations and Nonlinear Functional Analysis

[Navier-Stokes Equations and Nonlinear Functional Analysis. Roger Temam. 2nd Edition. 1 January 1987. CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics, Series Number 66. Publisher; Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Paperback: 155 pages. ISBN-10: 0898713404. ISBN-13 9780898713404. Dimensions: 17.15 x 1.27 x 24.77 cm. Thanks to Amazon for technical publication data. First Edition 1983]

A couple of years ago my wife and I watched an utterly charming film called Gifted, starring Chris Evans and an adorable girl named McKenna Grace. The story revolved around the little girl, who was a mathematics prodigy being raised by her uncle (Evans) after her mother committed suicide some time prior. The uncle wants his niece to have the benefit of a normal childhood despite her extraordinary gift, whereas his mother (her grandmother), herself a mathematician of some renown, dearly wants to exploit the little girl’s talent, perhaps as a way of making up for the lack of a connection with the daughter she lost.

At the center of this drama is a putative proof of one of the famous Millennium Problems put forth and sponsored by The Clay Mathematics Institute. These seven problems are regarded as the most difficult ‘important’ math problems in the world. There is a cash prize of $1,000,000 to anyone who can either prove one of the assertions or provide a convincing counterexample disproving the statement. To date, only one of them has been solved, the Poincare Conjecture (now the Poincare Theorem).

The fourth stated assertion involves the Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations, which are a set of partial differential equations that describe the evolution of fluid flow in 2 and 3 dimensions. Fluid here means either a gas or a liquid, the latter generally being considered incompressible. There is a curious issue with the N-S equations in that it should be possible to state very precise yet general circumstances under which the equations admit a solution that is unique. Such a statement addresses existence and uniqueness of solutions based on initial fluid flow conditions and the shape of the domain in which the fluid flows. However, to date, such existence and uniqueness of solutions has only been definitively shown for 2 dimensions. There is something about going up to 3 dimensions that gives a bit too much wiggle room to easily show that, given arbitrary initial conditions and domain description, one can either guarantee (perhaps by direct solving) a unique solution or show that one cannot exist.

In the aforementioned film, the little girl’s dead mother apparently had written a proof of the N-S equations for 3 dimensions, and thus could have laid claim to the Clay Institute prize for solving one of the Millennium problems. The trouble is that no one seems to know where she left the proof. The film moves forward with this premise and the dramatic tensions between the desires of the girl’s uncle and the girl’s grandmother, each with their own view on how best to nurture (or exploit) the little girl’s phenomenal potential.

Back in the real world, this N-S problem continues to be an active area of research well more than a century after it was first posed. Prof Temam is a leading researcher in this area of applied and computational fluid dynamics. The monograph reviewed here is an excellent compendium of the many fundamental issues facing the scientist who wishes to work with the N-S equations in a practical setting.

Temam first essays the questions related to existence, uniqueness and regularity (solutions can’t have physically impossible whirlpools, for example) of solutions to the N-S equations. He points out the paradox between the two- and three-dimensional versions of these equations. He describes the setting and general solution framework for the equations, drawing on both classical and newer a priori results (these latter are similar to the ansatz approach to problems in physics). He then surveys some issues in functional analysis related to the analyticity of the time-evolved equations as well as more over-arching representational elements to the problem.

The second half of the monograph deals with somewhat more general functional analysis questions, most of which are directly applicable to the Navier-Stokes equations but are by no means limited to them. A brief third section deals with computational aspects of N-S equations, including such minutiae as grid size, convergence of short- and long-term solutions (and the marrying up of same), and a brief appendix that describes inertial manifolds (a functional space description in which the solutions to the N-S equations should naturally reside).

This monograph is very well-written in my opinion, and I say this as someone who has not done very much fluid dynamics work as a mathematician – I learned a great deal from it. As one might expect, the level of mathematics is graduate/post-doctoral level, and requires a strong background in measure theory, functional analysis, and topology, as well as a healthy acquaintanceship with numerical analysis, especially techniques designed for classes of partial differential equations.

Une protéine fluorescente éclaire le cerveau des abeilles

Grâce aux outils génétiques disponibles chez ce modèle, la drosophile était depuis de nombreuses années un organisme modèle en biologie.

INEE-CNRS, 04 avril 2023

Résultats scientifiques écologie évolutive & Biodiversité

"Depuis quelque temps cependant, grâce aux nouvelles techniques d’édition des génomes, d’autres insectes émergent comme modèles d’intérêt. C’est notamment le cas de l’abeille, insecte social aux comportements élaborés. Dans un article paru dans Plos Biology, une équipe internationale de chercheurs a construit un outil génétique à l’aide d’abeilles transgéniques qui permet de suivre l’activité neurale dans le cerveau des abeilles en réponse à des stimuli environnementaux. Cet outil a été testé pour décrire la réponse neurale des abeilles à des molécules odorantes, en particulier leurs phéromones.

Les insectes intéressent de plus en plus la communauté scientifique comme animaux modèles. Notamment les abeilles, capables de comportements complexes dans des domaines aussi variés que l’orientation, la communication, l’apprentissage et la mémoire, sont de plus en plus utilisées.

Une équipe de chercheurs du CNRS et des Universités ParisSaclay, de Düsseldorf (Allemagne) et de Trento (Italie) annoncent qu’ils ont modifié le code génétique d’abeilles pour obtenir une lignée transgénique dont le cerveau produit une protéine fluorescente permettant de suivre l’activation de neurones du cerveau en réponse à des stimuli environnementaux.

Une des difficultés de ce travail était qu’il fallait travailler sur de l’ADN de reines et que chez les abeilles les reines ne peuvent pas être élevées au laboratoire car elles ont besoin de leur colonie pour se reproduire. 4000 œufs d’abeilles ont été inoculés avec une séquence génétique spécifique. L’élevage en ruche, les tests et la sélection ont permis d’obtenir 7 reines porteuses du transgène qui transmettent le gène à certains de leurs descendants.

La construction génétique a été testée en étudiant la réponse des abeilles à des molécules odorantes sous microscope à fluorescence. Il a été possible de détecter quelle sont les cellules du cerveau activées par ces odeurs et comment cette information est distribuée dans le cerveau.

Ce nouvel outil va permettre des études approfondies de la communication chez les colonies d’abeilles et comment la socialité impacte le cerveau de ces animaux.

Lucky Charm – Part 1

Charles Leclerc x Doctor! Reader Part 2

Synopsis: Before all their success in life, Charles and y/n were lovers and split up to focus on their professional careers. Until 10 years later y/n receives one patient in ER from a terrible car crash

Warnings: Language, car crash, nearly death, PTSD, Pierre and y/n bromance

Words count: 4'2k

A/N: I would like to clarify, that English is not my first language, so if there are some misspellings or grammar errors, I'm sorry. But feel like commenting on them so I can rectify my grammar. Also, I'm just a pharmaceutical student and I don't know the 100% process of a surgeon's processes. As well as I'm not a F1 expert.

2018

Charles and I were celebrating he officially signed for Ferrari the following year in F1. I was so happy for him, it’s been his dream for as long as I remember.

We had known each other since high school when me and Arthur got paired in a school project and your friendship with the Leclerc's began. In 2016, Charles and I got closer and ended up developing feelings for each other and have dated ever since. I went to every race he had from F3 to now being with Alfa Romeo in F1.

I had always been there for him. When Jules died, I was here. After his lovely father died, I was there. I was his mainstay. Maybe if I hadn’t been there, he would have given up everything. But my hope and perseverance knew he shouldn’t do it and kept fighting. And here we are, celebrating his Ferrari sign for the next season.

There was only one problem. We weren’t only celebrating his sign for Ferrari. I just entered Universite Paris Saclay as one of their future medical students.

“You don’t know how proud I'm of you” commented Charles smiling without taking his eyes off you.

“Are you kidding me? You just signed for Ferrari, Ferrari! That’s the biggest accomplish here”

“That’s old news. And in your defence y/n, I must add you got your dream career which is more difficult than getting to Ferrari”

You look on your lap avoiding his gaze, smiling like a 16 year old girl.

“You are blushing” said Charles with a corky smile

“No, I’m not” I said getting up from the table and walking to sit on his couch.

Charles follows you to sit next to you. He grabs your chin to make you look at him and takes your lips together.

Then he puts our foreheads together to rest and I close my eyes.

“I’m proud of you”

“I’m proud of you two”

We stay in each other’s arms in silence to make the moment last.

You both knew what getting to uni and Ferrari meant, we haven’t talked about it, we avoided it just to enjoy our possible last summer together.

But the summer was ending and we still haven’t talked about our future.

I decided to be brave and face our fears once and for all. I could already tell my eyes were getting wet.

"Esque il a quelque chose va mal?" Is there something wrong?

"Mon amour, nous devons parler" My love, we neet to talk

"De quoi?" About what?

"Vous savez ce que" You know what

And then is when everything collapses. I start crying and he comforts me saying everything will be ok, that we will get through it

"No we won't, and maybe you don't see it now but if we stay together in the future, one of us will have to give up our dreams. And I couldn't take it if you dropped out of F1 just to be with me. And as selfish as I sound I couldn't give it up either or fail in the process of becoming who I want to be"

We stay silent looking at each other until he stands up and walks to his shelf full of trophies and pictures of his family, Jules and me. Maybe he still hadn't thought about it like I have, maybe I'm the pessimistic one in our relationship and don't see a future where all this works out. Half of me thinks he understands what I'm saying and getting my point, but my other half wishes he has another alternative where we can stay together and be happy.

"I hate to admit it, but you are right. You are always right" Says Charles as he looks at our pictures.

His words shatter me and it's stupid, I was the one that brought it up, it was my idea and the one that ruined everything. I hoped he would tell me everything will be ok, and we will get through it. I really did, but reality is a bitch and we couldn't do anything if we wanted to be successful in life. And it's better to end things now in good conditions and not later in a big fight.

I stand up and walk behind him to hug him from the back, and I start sobbing more than I have ever had. He tuns just so he holds me as tight as he can.

It's not a goodbye. It's I will see you later, as friends when we will be both happy and laugh about it. And with so, we kiss one last time and he offers to drive me to my parents' house. When I open the door to get out, he says "I love you"

The saddest part is, that he is probably the only man I could ever love. So for one last time, I respond "I will always love you"

2028

It was a goodbye. That day was the end.

Charles and I have not seen each other since the day we broke up. Except I spotted him one afternoon with a beautiful brunette girl 3 years ago, when my boyfriend at the time and I visited my parents at Christmas.

I do not regret the decision I took back in 2018. In fact, that was the best decision I ever took in my life. Because ever since that, things only got better for both of us. I know he is doing well despite we have not talked to each other for years, because I had watched every Sunday Formula 1, to see how things were going.

I have not lived in Monaco for 9 years, I only came home in August and Christmas to visit my parents.

Last year after something traumatic happened, I felt I needed to come back home and with my resume, I easily got into the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace as one of their neurosurgeons.

Today is Friday and the Monaco Grand Prix is in two days, so the streets are crowded, and a lot of nice cars are on the roads. But It doesn’t affect me, I always walk to the hospital, since I t's faster.

"Is that y/n y/l/n? Or are you an illusion?" I turn to see whose voice was to find Pierre Gasly in his car, stopped at the traffic light.

"Pierre! How have you been?"

"Get inside the car before the light turns green, I will take you" And despite the last time you saw him being 10 years ago you got in, and it seems that no time has passed.

"Let me guess, you are going to Port Hercule"

"You are so smart" We burst out laughing "Girl I haven't seen you in years, how have you been?" I was about to respond to his question but I got interrupted. "Wait, tell me where I need to drive you to. Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction"

"You are" I said with a giggle "I'm going to the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace"

"Why? Did something happen?" Pierre asked while going all the way around the roundabout.

"I work there"

"Oh right, I remember Charles commented you got into medicine" He stops talking and gets a little tense.

"Hey, that was 10 years ago, there is no need to get tense"

"It's just that Charles never told me why you broke up and I thought it ended up badly"

"It was a mutual agreement. The reason was simple, he just got into Ferrari and I had to leave to get my medical degree. No hard feelings"

Pierre's face is pure confusion, maybe asking himself why Charles never told him why we broke up.

We chitchat for a bit until he gets me to the Hospital.

“Hey, on Saturday would you like to go to the Paddock I can get you in”

“Oh, thanks but it’s not needed, I can’t watch Saturday’s Grand Prix either. I have to work at the ER, we are short-staffed this summer and they need me. I hope it goes well!” I smile at him and I start to get off the car.

“Oh, you won’t give me my lucky kiss? It was sort of a tradition, wasn’t it?” It was, when I accompanied Charles to the races I always kissed Charles and gave Pierre a kiss on the cheek for luck. So I gave him a big hug and I kissed him on the cheek.

"I missed you Pierre"

"I missed you too, so much" He said the last word with a sigh as I was getting out of the car.

When I was entering the hospital one friend of mine came running to me.

“Girl, was that Pierre Gasly?”

“Yes, we were… we are friends”

“Can you introduce me?”

“No, today is the first time I’ve seen him in 10 years, it would be awkward.” She put on a disappointed face and I continued “Maybe if we get closer again I will introduce you” I said while rolling my eyes.

“How do you know each other?” At work, I don’t talk about my private life and less about something that happened during my teens.

“I used to be friends with Charles Leclerc family and I went to almost every race and I meet most of the drivers. Pierre was the one I got along with the most”

Her mouth makes a shape of an O and thankfully doesn’t ask more.

Next thing I know I’m putting stitches on a kid who cut his finger.

At 16:30 my turn ends and I walk out of the hospital with my friend next to me searching something on her phone. When she suddenly grabs me by the shoulders and makes me look at her. With her phone up and a picture of 18 year old me and a 20 year old Charles and the next picture it’s us kissing. Two photos that we posted on social media and circulated in some articles about our break up.

“You dated Charles Leclerc, Charles Leclerc! And didn’t tell me! He is the hottest guy ever” I close my eyes and I sigh, today it’s not a good day to remember everything.

“Yes, we dated. It’s no big deal, ok? We went to the same school and our families are friends. I don’t want to talk about it ok?”

“Did it end that badly?”

“It was a mutual agreement, he got to Ferrari and I went to university, that’s it”

Thankfully the conversation ended there and she got to her car and I continued my walk home.

After I arrived home, my phone vibrates and I grab it and see a call from Arthur, we always stayed in touch and now that I'm back in Monaco we often hang out to chat.

"y/n do you want to come to my house? We are hanging out in the swimming pool, there are some friends of mine, my brothers and some of their friends, you know Pierre right? He is also here"

Without knowing I get nervous and insecure about myself. I had thought I had everything in control and I knew I will have to see Charles again at one point. But I'm stressing out and I'm not focused to see him again, less in a room full of people.

"Ehem, that would be really nice but... I work tomorrow morning and also on Sunday so it's better if I stay home, thank you tho" That was the lamest excuse I've ever given.

"Oh, no problem, then on Sunday night there is an afterparty for the Grand Prix. And since you don't work on Mondays you must come"

Shit, I already told Pierre I wouldn't come.

"Yes I know, I found Pierre this morning and he told me, I will try to come"

"Come on y/n, you will come, end of discussion. You can't avoid him forever, besides right now you are both sing..." I immediately cut him off

"Yes, ok, thank you Arthur, I'll make an effort. Bye, have a nice day"

Despite Arthur and I always have been friends, after his brother and I broke up we never talked about it.

I was sure I'd moved on but now that I can see him again I'm scared.

It's Sunday morning and today I work all day in ER, a little exhausting but I like working under a little bit of pressure, it makes me more focused.

The saddest thing is that I won't be able to watch the Grand Prix, it's the first time I've not watched it. But it's just one time and nothing will go wrong is just another race. I will watch it when I get home.

Today thankfully was calm, since everyone was watching F1, not many incidents happened.

"Hey y/n, since everything is very calm today you can go home early, we will get through it, now you can go watch the Grand Prix" Announced me another doctor in ER, that knew I had never missed a Grand Prix.

I went to the lockers to change into my regular clothes, grabbed my purse and I got out of the room. Then suddenly the doctor that allowed me to go home ran towards me.

"Y/n! y/n!, You need to get back to work immediately, we just received a call from the ambulance. There has been a car crash and there the patient has a concussion. You are the best in these scenarios, we need you."

Immediately I return and put on my clothes as fast as possible. I think I haven't closed the locker, but that's not my priority right now.

When I get back to the ER the ambulance has not arrived yet. And then it hits me.

I'm driving in my car, there is a big hit, the car spins, there is a bigger hit and everything goes black, seconds later I remember looking at the passenger’s seat and Dorian's face is covered in blood. "Dorian! Dorian! Please answer me" red and blue, blue and red, sirens and the next thing I'm being pulled out of the car.

"Y/n! are you alright? The ambulance just arrived, come on!" I see a nurse helping me get back to reality. I hate car accidents.

But I'm running to get to the stretcher and get the patient to the hospital. When my world collapses again when I see a man in a red suit and a red and white helmet full of pictures. I cannot collapse right now. I must not. I must help Charles

And for the first time, I can control myself and my fear doesn't get me.

I grab the helmet providing a Manual in-line stabilisation (MILS), there is a nurse ready to help grab his chin and also apply pressure on the occipital region, I slowly take off the helmet full of pictures of his dad, his family, Jules and... me. But there is no time for distractions. I need to help him.

"There is a concussion! There is a second-degree burn on the left side of the neck! The patient is still unconscious!" The nurse announces and they immediately cover his burns.

After that, I do a CSF (Examination of the cerebral spinal fluid) and while we wait for the results I go to the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine to check his brain and there I see a pair of blood clots. Shit.

"Immediately we need some Heparin to undo the blood clots" The nurse passes me the needle and I inject it as fast as I can so there will be consequences.

Two hours later, Charles is in a room still sleeping, thankfully there was no complication and all the blood clots are undone. Now I'm walking to the reception where I suppose most of his team and his family are for me to give them the news.

"Charles Lecler's family?" As much as I would like to run to his family hug them and tell them he is alright I must stay professional. In the reception room, I spot Mrs Leclerc, Arthur, Lorenzo, most of the Ferrari team and some drivers, like Pierre, Lando, Max, Carlos, Lewis, ...

"Y/n dear were you the head of his case?" Mrs Leclercs asks me and hugs me with love and fear.

"Mrs Leclerc I must stay professional right now" I whisper to her ear

"Oh right, sorry" She breaks up from the hug and nods as she stays near her sons. Most faces are of fear but Arthur's one is of relief, like he knew Charles has been in good hands.

“Chales is alright, he had a concussion and a couple of blood clots but are now in control thanks to the anticoagulant, the cerebral spinal fluid thank god was not damaged. Also there is a second degree burn but it’s not the priority. Right now he is sleeping in his room, he has not yet awakened”

After that there is a big sight from everyone.

“Can we go see him?” Lorenzo speaks first, looking at me directly.

“The only ones that have authorization to go to his room right now are his family tomorrow, if he is awake and wants visitors, others can come see him”

With that Mrs Leclerc, Lorenzo and Arthur are taken by a nurse to Charles room and most of the F1 team is leaving the hospital, except Pierre and Mattia Binnoto whose last is the first to approach me.

“I must see Charles right now, we need to discuss the championship…” Without second thoughts I immediately cut him off.

“The patient needs to rest and recover fully before even thinking of racing again”

“I don’t care what you say he…” I cut him off again

“You should be worried of your driver’s health and not your stupid championship right now. I don’t want to see you again for the rest of the day, so if you do me a favor and walk off the building calmly and not make me call security. Thank you very much and have a nice day”

And with that he left with some of his crew mates that were waiting for him. And right by the corner I notice a shocked face of Pierre with his mouth open. And still looking at Binnoto Pierre walks towards me.

“I have never seen someone shut his mouth is such style” I look to see if there is someone else in the reception room and thankfully there was no one. And right there and then I colapse.

I fall into Pierre’s arms and he holds me tight.

“I thought I couldn’t do it, when I saw him in the stretcher everything collapsed. I don’t know how I…” he pulls me of his shoulder to look me in the eyes.

“You are amazing, that’s how you did it. Now be the strong y/n I’ve always know and go with him.” Pierre with one hand takes of the tears I didn’t know were falling. “You are amazing” says as he kisses me on the forehead.

“I will call you when he awakes” I make a phone sign with my hand and take it to my ear to emphasize I will call him and I walk fast to Charles room.

Once I get to Charles door one doctor comes and tells me I did enough for today and and that I can go home. And I respond by saying I will say in the patient room to check on him.

I know on the door and Arthur opens and immediately hugs me and I hug him back, and in short moment his mom and brother are also hugging me.

“Did you see what happened?” Arthur asks me. I take a look at sleeping Charles

“No, and honestly I don’t think I want to see it right now”

I don’t let them know how difficult it was for me to help him and not get my emotions overtake me, it would sound unprofessional in-front of them, even if they are like my family.

Two hours later Arthur and Lorenzo went home to change clothes and will bring some for their mother, who stayed and is now sleeping in the corner.

I’m admiring Charles, he has growing out his beard a little, he looks more mature. When suddenly his head moves and turns in my direction and his eyes open slowly.

“Y/n…. Am I in heaven?” Seriously, to all the things he could say and it's that.

"I'm not dead, you know..." I put a big smile on my face, happy that he is alright and awake.

"I know, but you look like an angel" Oh, I look away from him and I can feel my face heat up. He must feel rave from the crash.

He looks around to check where he is and notices his mother sleeping next to him.

"Maman..."

"Would you like me to wake her up?" He turns to look at me and shakes his head.

"What happened? Why are you here?" Charles asks as he looks at the bed and the room, the second question although it shouldn't it hurts me.

"I can go if you want me to" I start to get up, of course, he doesn't want me here, it's been 10 years stupid. When a hand retains me by the wrist.

"Please stay, don't go" He puts on a puppy face for me not to leave him. and I sit back down.

"There was a car crash during the race, you got a concussion and we gave you heparin. You are still under supervision, and I'm here because I was the doctor in charge of your case" He puts on a sad face and immediately asks if anyone got hurt in which no one else got hurt thankfully. And also asked who was the winner but the race was suspended.

Right after that his mom awakens and starts showering him with kisses and a minute later his brothers arrive with clean clothes for him and his mother.

"You are in good hands, I will get going home" While still talking with his family he cuts the conversation and looks at me.

"Y/n, you live here?" He asks surprised.

"I live and I work here, I'm back home" Charles changes his worried face to a more relaxed one, with the thought of home.

"Please come again tomorrow" He says it like a command but immediately rectifies himself "If you don't have any other plans obviously" I smile at his response.

"I don't work tomorrow but if you want me to I will come to visit and I will also take advantage of it by checking your vitals" With a smile on everyone I get out of the room and go home to rest.

The next day in the morning I had to run a few errands and I also went to buy Charles a few things from the supermarket, flowers and a nice bracelet I saw in a shop window and immediately thought of him.

When I get to the hospital there is a lot of media waiting to get any news on him or to see him leave the hospital and bombard him with questions.

I put on my white coat, even though I don't work today, and I walk to Charles room. When I knock and get in it surprises me to only find Charles in the room eating a pudding.

"How are you feeling today?" I asked while leaving his presents on his feet.

"Are you asking this as Dr. y/l/n or as y/n?" He asks me while grabbing his presents and leaving the pudding to the table. "Also you didn't have to bring all of this"

"I'm asking as both" he looks at me with a friendly smile "Oh that it's nothing, I know the hospital food is trash and that it just reminded me of you"

"I find that pudding quite good actually" I laugh at his comment and he smiles back at me.

"I missed it"

"What?" I asked while I'm sitting on the chair

"Your laugh" I blush and look away and immediately try to change the subject.

"I thought the room will be full of people"

"Oh" he says looking all his room full of flowers and presents "It was, at 7am the first to come was Pierre"

"I know, he told me" He puts a questioning face and I reply to him and explain to him we bumped into each other on Friday.

"I know, he told me too" I sigh at his response

I check at his vitals and the notes the nurses put on the document and I notice everything is fine.

"Seeing everything is alright and no complications occurred, and as I'm your doctor, I can give you the discharge and you can be out in a couple of hours"

He puts on a sad face as soon as he sees me talking about work, but that's the main reason why I came here. Wasn't it?

"Can we talk first? I haven't known anything of you for years and I would love to catch up"

"I would also love to catch up in your life"

"Since my fabulous doctor gave me the discharge today" says as he laughs "We can meet up at my place tomorrow morning? Is that good with you?"

"It's good for me"

"Perfect, it's a date then"
