UK’s Oscar-tipped Cumberbatch toasts codebreaker Turing Agence France-Presse

LONDON - British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, tipped for an Oscar for his performance as mathematician Alan Turing, said on Wednesday he hopes the film will be a worthy tribute to the wartime codebreaker persecuted for being gay. The “Sherlock Holmes” star spoke at the European premiere of “The Imitation Game”, one of several biographical films to dominate the programme of the 58th London Film Festival. Turing was a computer scientist ahead of his time and the film coincides with the 60th anniversary of his death. He was prosecuted for homosexuality in 1952 when it was a crime in Britain, despite the fact that he had played a crucial role in deciphering German codes that experts say accelerated the fall of Adolf Hitler.
Forced to undergo chemical castration, Turing killed himself at the age of 41. He was officially pardoned only last year by Queen Elizabeth II, six decades after his tragic death. “I really want his story to be known as broadly as possible,” Cumberbatch said at the screening. “I hope it will be a launching point for more interest and understanding and a proper celebration for Alan Turing.” Cumberbatch shrugged off talk that he could land the Oscar for best actor in the film, which won the people’s choice award at the Toronto Film Festival and also stars British actress Keira Knightley. Knightley plays code-breaker Joan Clarke at the Bletchley Park decryption centre, where the German ‘Enigma’ code was cracked, shortening the war by two years and saving 14

million lives, according to the film. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star said that women still struggle with the same issues as Clarke, hired because she could crack codes faster than Turing but who struggled to be taken seriously. “What she was fighting for was a place at the table and equal pay, and I think that those are still the two main things that feminists today are fighting for, and there’s still inequality,” Knightley said. Norwegian director Morten Tyldum said he felt the story resonated with his life. “I just moved to Hollywood and I was an outsider in Hollywood. To me this is a movie about outsiders, about those who are different, who think outside the norm. There was something about that story that really struck me,” Tyldum said.

Paula Patton files for divorce from Robin Thicke Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Paula Patton has filed for divorce from Robin Thicke and is asking for joint custody of their son. The “Precious” and “2 Guns” actress filed for divorce from the “Blurred Lines” and “Give It 2 U” singer Friday in Los Angeles, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The 38-year-old actress and 37-year-old singer announced they were separating in February after nine years of marriage. They have a 4-year-old son. Patton was the inspiration behind much of Thicke’s music and appeared in some of his videos. The crooner’s latest album,
“Paula,” sold only 24,000 units in the U.S. when it was released in July. Thicke’s previous album, “Blurred Lines,” sold 177,000 units when it debuted last year. Thicke promoted “Paula” with several public appearances that were accompanied by reconciliation pleas.

Deplored, billboards on the rejection to reclamation sterilized Bali Post
DENPASAR - Sterilization against billboards on the rejection to Benoa Bay reclamation is not a new thing. This action always happens to each arrival of President SBY. As a result, the community is made uneasy. Moreover, the sterilization against the billboards was carried out by government officers. It is considered a kind of action silencing people’s aspirations.

Ida Bagus Swastika, a resident of Sanur Kaja claiming to also install billboard around Sanur on the rejection to reclamation, deeply regretted the sterilization of billboard on the rejection to reclamation. As at the intersection of
Sanur, a billboard on the rejection to reclamation was reversed by the officers Wednesday afternoon, so that the content of billboard was unreadable from the highway. “It is not the first time, similar action also occurred earlier,” he said when
confirmed. Such an action clearly closed the people’s opportunity to express their aspirations on the rejection to Benoa Bay reclamation to the president because it was the road section to be passed through by the presidential entourage. Similarly, he admitted not to believe it why the authorities seemed so allergic to the billboard on the rejection to the reclamation. Actually it was only a form of people’s aspirations. “I do not want to meddle in political affairs. But, they should use their conscience, why were
people’s aspirations even hampered? And the government should listen to people’s aspirations. The Benoa Bay Reclamation will only harm the community, just see the example on Serangan Island,” he said. Similar opinion was also expressed by Gung Jhon, a resident of Pelasa hamlet, Kuta, who participated in the movement of installing the billboard on the rejection to reclamation. Although the billboards in his area were not dismantled as located beyond the main road, but his party deplored such an action. “We are disappointed, why
should there be an attempt to hamper the people’s aspirations? We saw a discrepancy in this regard, especially it has repeated for several times. Is the president so allergic to people’s aspirations?” he asked. Meanwhile, the Coordinator of ForBali, Wayan Gendo Suardana, said that in his record the sterilization of billboard on the rejection to reclamation had occurred for three times, namely on the implementation of the Bali Arts Festival, the UNAOC Global Forum meeting and the current one.
