Vaclav havel vernissage2/1/2024 Havel’s characters speak an imaginary language or jargon dubbed “ptydepe.” We should remember how Kafka spoke about bureaucratic labyrinths,” Soprova said, referring to 20th century Prague author Franz Kafka, celebrated for forging a magical realist, modernist literary tradition. “Havel drew much of his inspiration from Jarry and Kafka. In “The Garden Party,” Havel focused on what he felt were soul-destroying aspects of totalitarian regimes: their power structures and bureaucracies express themselves in a deformed language which is essentially meaningless. The Na Zabradli theatre was “a pioneer of the theatre of the absurd with Ubu the King by Alfred Jarry, Franz Kafka’s Castle, but also with the first works by Vaclav Havel,” said Soprova. His first great play, “The Garden Party” (1963), was an immediate success. Starting as a stage hand at Prague’s tiny Na Zabradli (On a Ballustrade) theatre, just steps from the picturesque Charles Bridge, Havel became an acclaimed author in the 1960s which saw somewhat of a thaw in the hard line communist regime of then Czechoslovakia. Hailing from a rich family whose assets were confiscated by the communist regime that took power in the former Czechoslovakia in 1948, the young Havel did odd jobs, wrote plays and dreamt of the stage. The theater of the absurd, which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s examining the consequences of what its authors believed was a godless universe, questioned established theatrical concepts, foregoing classic plot lines and conventional language. “The role of Vaclav Havel as a founder of a specific stream in the theater of the absurd, reflecting a political background, is crucial,” said Jana Soprova, a theater historian. “The greatest spiritual authority of our young democracy, a great politician and an excellent playwright has died,” Ondrej Cerny, director of Prague’s National Theatre, said in reaction to Havel’s death on Sunday aged 75. Havel’s works expounding his humanist beliefs focus largely on the inhuman and absurd aspects of everyday life he and his fellow countrymen endured under totalitarianism.

If you would like to contribute, you can send a donation to the following bank account number: 481831023/0300. A year ago we decided to follow up on this idea and start a new tradition of holding a fundraising concert in collaboration with the National Gallery in Prague and excellent musicians from amongst the students and friends of the College such as Vojtěch Lavička. The Václav Havel Scholarship was started six years ago by ECP students. Not everybody gets the same chance to study and we would like to offer a scholarship at the ECP to a Roma girl or boy. We are studying at a school where the colour of our skin, accent, nationality, sexual orientation or religion does not matter. The Václav Havel Scholarship was founded by students of The English College in Prague and one of the main events we organise in its support is a fundraising concert in the Convent of St Agnes.

The same could have been used by the Internet Explorer team to draw images when the user is running high dpi (ie is very slow drawing zoomed images, because they use GDI+).įirst sorry for ma English, and the code is partly in polish, but it's simple to understand. I use the routine to draw glyphs on buttons, taking into account the current DPI.

The cachedBitmap is passed in by reference. Graphics.DrawCachedBitmap(cachedBitmap, x, y) The API is telling us we have to recreate the cached bitmap If (graphics.DrawCachedBitmap(cachedBitmap, x, y) Ok) then Check if we need to create the "cached" version of the bitmapī := TGDIPlusHelper.ResizeImage(image, width, height) ĬachedBitmap := TGPCachedBitmap.Create(b, graphics) If (CachedBitmap.BitmapWidth width) or (CachedBitmap.BitmapHeight height) thenįreeAndNil(CachedBitmap) //nil'ing it will force it to be re-created down below Check if we have to invalidate the cached image because of size mismatch i've chosen to not throw exceptions during paint code - it gets very nasty Graphics: TGPGraphics x, y: Integer width, height: Integer) In that case the DrawImage will fail, and you have to re-created the CachedBitmap: class procedure TGDIPlusHelper.DrawCachedBitmap(image: TGPImage This happens if the user changes resolutions or color depths (e.g. The caveat is that the CachedBitmap can become invalid - meaning it can't be used to draw. But in there end i have a function bit of (Delphi) code that does it. What i've learned on my own since last October is that you really want to draw a "cached" version of your bitmap. GDI+ will perform scaling to get the image to come out the right "size" (i.e. The reason is because of dpi differences between the dpi of bitmap and the dpi of the destination. i had since found out, but guys comment reminded me of my old answer: you want to specify the destination size even though it matches the source size: DrawImage(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.GetWidth, bitmap.GetHeight) (i would hope it doesn't bother going through all 12 million pixels performing no actual work). Like i said, i doubt it will make any difference, because i'm sure that DrawImage checks the Width and Height of the bitmap, and if there's no resizing needed, just calls this overload. I don't think they'll make much of a different, but since you're not actually needing to resize the image, try using the overload of DrawImage that doesn't (attempt) to resize: DrawImage(bitmap,0,0) But now I need to draw Bitmap, and write some algorithm on Bitmap's bits array, how can I get BITMAPINFO if I have an Bitmap object? It's really annoying -_-| If I want to use StretchDIBits, I need to pass BITMAPINFO, But how can I get BITMAPINFO from a Gdi+ Bitmap Object?

Or is any thing wrong? I cannot use CachedBitmap, because I want to edit the bitmap later. this part takes about 300ms, terrible! int width = bitmap->GetWidth() Bitmap *bitmap = Bitmap::FromFile("XXXX".) I am using a GDI+ Graphic to draw a 4000*3000 image to screen, but it is really slow.

Some start with biology and investigate how extant metabolic pathways may have come to fruition, concentrating on bacterial and archaeal life that most closely resembles the last universal common ancestor. The starting points for origins of life research are diverse and researchers do not agree about the best place to begin. This suggests the plausibility of the photoproduction of purine deoxyribonucleotides, such as the photoproduction of simple sugars, proceeds more efficiently in the presence of bisulfite. The photoreduction of thioanhydroadenosine with bisulfite produced 2′-deoxyriboadenosine (dA) on the timescale of days. The photoreduction of thioanhydrouridine with hydrogen sulfide did not succeed even after a long period of irradiation, providing a lower limit on the timescale of several years. The photoanomerization of α-thiocytidine would take months to complete, and the production of oxidation products from hydroxyl radicals would take years. We predict that hypophosphite oxidation, HCN reduction, and photoproduction of nitroprusside would all operate on the surface of early Earth in a matter of days to weeks. We compare the output of StarLab to the light of the faint young Sun to constrain the timescales over which these reactions would occur on the surface of early Earth. We then attempt a series of reactions testing different aspects of a prebiotic chemical scenario involving hydrogen cyanide (HCN), sulfites, and sulfides under the UV light of StarLab, including hypophosphite oxidation by UV light and hydrogen sulfide, photoreduction of HCN with bisulfite, the photoanomerization of α-thiocytidine, the production of a chemical precursor of a potentially prebiotic activating agent (nitroprusside), the photoreduction of thioanhydrouridine and thioanhydroadenosine, and the oxidation of ethanol (EtOH) by photochemically generated hydroxyl radicals. We construct a solar simulator for the UV light of the faint young Sun on the surface of early Earth, called StarLab. Here we experimentally investigate whether the UV flux available on the surface of early Earth, given a favorable atmosphere, can facilitate a variety of prebiotic chemical syntheses. Ultraviolet (UV) light has long been invoked as a source of energy for prebiotic chemical synthesis, but experimental support does not involve sources of UV light that look like the young Sun. Spotting the ingredients for planets in NGC 346 broadens understanding of where planets can exist, says Stefanie Milam, deputy project scientist for JWST planetary science at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. They found enough dust, collecting in signature ways, to indicate planet formation was possible. The researchers used filters on JWST’s camera to find combinations of infrared wavelengths that allowed them to identify stars at various stages of their lives. It wasn’t known whether enough dust could survive for planets to form in NGC 346, because the low-metal conditions make such disks susceptible to fast evaporation by light. The dust released by a star when it’s born can collect into a disk that eventually turns into planets. “With Webb, you can see these stars right at that moment of being born,” says Jones.ĭust, however, is also crucial to detecting planet formation. The best way to see through the dust is by capturing infrared light, something JWST’s predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, wasn’t built to do. The Sun is a low-mass star, so understanding star formation in NGC 346 could also help explain the birth of the Solar System.īut it had been challenging to study the birth of low-mass stars because they emit a lot of dust as they form, which hides their light. The researchers were mainly interested in studying low-mass stars because they are much more common in the Universe than high-mass stars. Furthermore, NGC 346 is much bigger than other star-forming regions nearby, allowing astronomers to see more clearly how stars interact with each other and how they take shape. That makes it resemble the conditions during the ‘cosmic noon’, a period approximately ten billion years ago when stars formed in a flurry in nearly all the galaxies of the Universe. They chose this place because it has a very low concentration of metals - which astronomers define as any element heavier than hydrogen and helium. Researchers looked at NGC 346, a highly active star-forming region in a galaxy near the Milky Way called the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The findings follow a flood of discoveries enabled by JWST, which launched in December 2021 and beamed back its first science images last July. “It’s not been possible to do them before.” “I’ve waited a long time to be able to do these observations,” says Olivia Jones, an astrophysicist at the UK Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh and the lead author of the study. The discovery, reported on April 24 in Nature Astronomy and made using NASA’s hugely powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), suggests that planet formation may be more common throughout the Universe than previously thought. The ingredients for planet formation have turned up in part of a nearby galaxy where it was thought planets might not emerge. AuthorWrite something about yourself.
