Photographer Ulric Collette's Genetic Portraits Capture Striking Family Resemblances New

Photographer Ulric Collette's Genetic Portraits Capture Striking Family Resemblances

Published 16:42 31 Oct 2026 GMTHe said the images featuring his own family were particularly precious to himA photographer with a penchant for merging the portraits of family members together into one face got the idea from a project he was doing with his son, and the results are striking.Canadian artist Ulric Collette developed the Genetic Portraits series after doing a year-long self portrait project with his son where he wanted to combine what the two of them looked like and see if it would recreate how his own face had looked as a child.While he was putting it together he found the results fascinating and decided he wanted to further explore the idea with other members of his family.The results create a face of many features, some childlike and some clearly belonging to an adult, capturing the similarities and differences in the family resemblance.AdvertThe photographer said the merging of pictures of his daughter and her grandmother meant a lot to him (Ulric Collette Genetic Portraits)Starting the series back in 2008, Quebec-based photographer Ulrich takes a picture of two relatives in the same light and framing and then merges half of the image with the corresponding other half."Two portraits touched me deeply," the photographer explained of the ones which turned out closest to his liking."The first is my daughter Ismaëlle with my mother Ginette, taken when Ismaëlle was 13. The similarities are obvious and striking. The second is a portrait of me with my father, made one year before he passed away. I consider it something precious."Most of the people he approached to be part of Genetic Portraits were because they resembled each other, and even when two relatives didn't seem much like each other it was easier to spot with their faces lined up togther.Ulric said the picture he made of himself and his father was 'precious' to him (Ulric Collette Genetic Portraits)"That resemblance often lives in small details: the way someone smiles, their expressions, the wrinkles around the eyes that follow the same lines," he added of where best it was to look for the signs."Even when there seems to be little resemblance at first glance, there is always some."While there were similarities between the pictures the photographer said that it ends up being 'a mix not a copy', noting that even if certain details line up perfectly others won't.He also pointed out that since he gets to choose which side of the face to use and where to line them up he created his 'own interpretation of their resemblance'.Sometimes the details show how much people really look like each other, as this combination of a son and mother shows (Ulric Collette Genetic Portraits)The pictures he's taken and combined show how alike and dissimilar people can look from each other at the same time.He said: "Everyone wonders what they got from their parents, and these images give a partial but very concrete answer. I think that’s why people connect with the series."I always do the session with all participants present, and what stays with me most is the bond between them. "The people who choose to take part in the project usually share a real closeness, and I think that comes through in the images too."Collette isn't the only photographer who likes to share the contrast between two similar images, as Steven Burton developed his own project showing people what they'd look like without tattoos.Featured Image Credit: Ulric Collette Genetic PortraitsTopics: Art, Community, Parenting

UK PM Andy Burnham Open to Slavery Apology, Firmly Rejects Reparations

See more of our coverage in your search results. LONDON, Oct 31 (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he is open to calls for a formal apology for Britain’s historical role in slavery, before attending next week’s Commonwealth summit at which he is likely to face demands for financial reparations.Writing in the Guardian newspaper, Burnham said Britain was “offering a structured dialog with those affected by the transatlantic slave trade,” in which at ​least 12.5 million Africans were abducted and sold into slavery.“Listening to calls for a formal apology on behalf of the British state will form an important part of this process, and I am open to them,” he added.Britain’s Prime Minister Andy Burnham attends a National Economic Council meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026.

Ian Davidson/SOPA Images/ShutterstockCaribbean leaders are expected to press demands for reparations, which they have often framed in terms of debt relief, development finance, education, healthcare and climate resilience.Burnham also wrote in the Guardian that he wanted to “launch a new drive on debt,” including by helping more vulnerable countries “repay over a longer time period and with better rates.”Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne welcomed Burnham’s comments and proposals for practical assistance, though he added in a Facebook post: “The Caribbean’s longstanding position on reparatory justice remains unchanged.”

Mothers Demand Justice: Femicides Reveal Institutional Failures New

Mothers Demand Justice: Femicides Reveal Institutional Failures

19:04 | 31 Tetor 2026 Milihate Cokli, nëna e Erona Coklit, e vrarë nga ish-bashkëshorti në vitin 2024, thotë se kishte kërkuar ndihmë nga institucionet për ta mbrojtur vajzën e saj, por se nuk ishte marrë seriozisht.Për këtë arsye, vrasja e Arlinda Zekajt më 25 tetor, pasi ajo kishte raportuar rrezikun që i kanosej te institucionet përgjegjëse, ia ka rikthyer kujtimet e luftës që kishte bërë për ta mbrojtur të bijën.Cokli kujton një rast kur kishte shkuar në vendin e punës së Eronës, pasi, sipas saj, ish-partneri i vajzës nuk e linte të qetë as atje. Gjatë takimit, Erona kishte dalë dhe e kishte përqafuar të ëmën. “Nënë, ky nuk më lë rehat”, i kishte thënë ajo.Pas këtij rasti, Cokli thotë se ishte drejtuar në polici për të raportuar kërcënimet ndaj vajzës, por reagimi që kishte marrë e kishte zhgënjyer.Ajo kujton një bisedë me një hetuese, e cila, sipas saj, e kishte pyetur se çfarë nëne ishte që nuk e lejonte vajzën të vendoste vetë. Cokli thotë se ishte larguar nga aty me lot në sy, pasi kishte shpjeguar se Erona po kërcënohej dhe se ajo kishte frikë për sigurinë e saj.“Unë si nënë kam kërkuar ndihmë për vajzën time, më bartnin si një leckë sa andej-këndej”, thotë ajo për Radion Evropa e Lirë.Vrasja e Eronës ia ka ndryshuar përgjithmonë jetën familjes, thotë Cokli, e cila tani përkujdeset për nipin, djalin që vajza e saj la pas.“E kam nipin që e llogaris si djalin tim. Por, pa buzëqeshjen e Eronës, atmosfera në shtëpi nuk është si më parë”, thotë ajo. Përveç humbjes së vajzës, Cokli thotë se nuk ndien se ka marrë drejtësi për të. Ajo e konsideron të ulët dënimin prej 24 vjetësh burgim ndaj vrasësit të Eronës.Nëna kërkon që institucionet të ndryshojnë mënyrën se si i trajtojnë gratë dhe familjarët që kërkojnë ndihmë.“Nuk duhet të tallen me vajza apo nëna që kërkojnë ndihmë”, thotë ajo për REL-in.“Nuk dua që vajzat tona të kujtohen vetëm pasi të mos jenë më gjallë”Thirrjet për mbrojtje të grave dhe përgjegjësi institucionale i përsërit edhe Valdete Osmani, nëna e Marigona Osmanit, e cila u vra në moshën 18-vjeçare, në vitin 2021.“Nuk dua që vajzat tona të kujtohen vetëm pasi të mos jenë më gjallë. Dua që ato të mbrohen, të dëgjohen dhe të ndihen të sigurta”, thotë Osmani për Radion Evropa e Lirë.Ajo thotë se e kujton çdo ditë të bijën, buzëqeshjen, sytë ngjyrë kafe dhe ëndrrat që nuk arriti t’i realizonte.“Ajo nuk ka qenë veç një emër në lajme, ka qenë vajza ime”, thotë Osmani.Përveç mungesës së Marigonës, familja është përballur vazhdimisht edhe me kujtimin e rrethanave në të cilat ajo humbi jetën.“Procesi gjyqësor ka qenë shumë i vështirë për neve si familje sepse çdo herë është dashur të përballemi me atë që i ka ndodhur vajzës tonë”, thotë ajo.Por, nënës së Marigonës i mbetet peng mendimi se tragjedia mund të ishte parandaluar. Ajo thotë se familja kishte kërkuar ndihmë nga policia para vrasjes, por se nuk ishte marrë seriozisht.“Si nanë, është shumë e rëndë të mendosh që ke kërkuar ndihmë dhe prapë ke përfunduar duke e humbur vajzën”, thotë Osmani.Ajo pranon se nuk mund ta dijë nëse një reagim tjetër i institucioneve do ta kishte ndryshuar përfundimin, por kërkon që çdo ankesë dhe shqetësim i grave të trajtohet me seriozitet dhe në kohë.“Unë si nënë nuk mund ta kthej Marigonën, por do të doja që prej rastit të saj të nxirren mësime dhe që askush tjetër mos të kalojë nëpër dhimbjen që po e përjetojmë ne”, thotë ajo.Gjashtë javë pritje për DonjetënPër Shkëlqim Pajazitaj, vëllain e Donjeta Pajazitajt, periudha më e rëndë ishin gjashtë javët gjatë të cilave familja nuk dinte se ku ndodhej motra e tij.Trupi i pajetë i Donjetës u gjet në dhjetor të vitit 2015, por rrethanat e vrasjes dhe përgjegjësia për të mbeten një plagë për familjen.“Kur u gjet, qysh u gjet, po ishte një lloj lehtësimi për neve sepse e kemi ditur që tash kanë marrë fund vuajtjet dhe keqtrajtimet për të”, thotë Pajazitaj për Radion Evropa e Lirë.Ai beson se një reagim më i shpejtë i policisë gjatë javëve kur Donjeta ishte e zhdukur mund të kishte ndikuar në fatin e saj.“[Po të trajtohej] me më shumë urgjencë në atë kohë, ndoshta do të mund ta kishim sot gjallë Donjetën”, thotë ai.Pajazitaj tregon se gjatë takimeve me familjen, institucionet e sigurisë u kishin thënë se sinjali i telefonit të Donjetës ishte lokalizuar në territorin e Strellcit.Tash e 11 vjet, familja vazhdon të ketë dyshime se në atë kohë nuk ishin ndërmarrë të gjitha veprimet e mundshme për ta gjetur atë me kohë.Ai thotë se çdo lajm për vrasjen e një gruaje tjetër e kthen familjen te dhimbja e humbjes së Donjetës.“Neglizhenca e institucioneve po bën që sot të kemi vrasje të grave sepse nuk po vlerësohet dhe nuk po merret parasysh zëri i tyre”, thotë Pajazitaj.Ai kërkon që institucionet të veprojnë me kohë dhe që rastet e mëparshme të mos harrohen. Sipas tij, parandalimi i tragjedive të tjera kërkon ndëshkimin e autorëve dhe përgjegjësi institucionale./REL

Maya Jama Donates Entire Prize to Charity Despite Celebrity Traitors Loss New

Maya Jama Donates Entire Prize to Charity Despite Celebrity Traitors Loss

Updated 16:03 31 Oct 2026 GMTPublished 15:46 31 Oct 2026 GMTbreakingThey're still going to get the money from Maya JamaMaya Jama has announced she's donated what she would have won on Celebrity Traitors to her chosen charity, even though she didn't make it to the end.Sadly for the game-long Traitor she was banished at the roundtable and didn't last until the final firepit, which saw remaining Traitor King Kenny also booted off the show and Faithfuls Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian 'Bash' Croft winning the prize pot for their chosen charities.Everyone on Celebrity Traitors went into the show with a chosen charity they'd be donating their portion of the prize pot to, and Maya Jama had selected Action for Children.She confirmed her donation on social media today (31 October) as she called the group an 'amazing cause', and Action for Children works to help vulnerable children with issues such as poverty, abuse and finding a foster home.AdvertOver the course of the show the celebrities had amassed a prize pot of £83,000, which in the end was split equally between the two remaining winners.Ranganathan's charity was the Refugee Council, with him saying: "I am playing for the Refugee Council, helping displaced people who need help, and of course it’s very close to my heart. So I’m very, very grateful for this."Meanwhile Croft's share which amounts to £41,500 has gone towards Choose Love.“It’s an organisation that I used to volunteer at," Bash explained.“The money will be going to refugees and displaced people, but predominantly queer refugees and displaced people, and they are just the best organisation.”Even if her hopes of making it to the end were scuppered by the group finally wondering why players with no heat on them were still in, Maya Jama had a darn good run of things as she was there from the very beginning and lasted until almost the final hurdle.Action for Children has got the money even though Maya Jama didn't win Celebrity Traitors, which is nice of her to do (CARLOS JASSO / AFP via Getty Images)Her fans have said she's been 'absolutely incredible' on the show and off it since she's making sure the charity gets some money, while others called her an 'absolute queen' for doing so.Hailed for her 'superb act of kindness', the book is unfortunately closed on the latest series of Celebrity Traitors which proved to be hugely entertaining right from the moment Richard E Grant directly admitted to being a Traitor (just a few minutes after he'd been picked) right through to James Blunt realising he'd made a huge mistake by voting to keep the game going when it would obviously mean he was going.Featured Image Credit: Neil Mockford/WireImageTopics: Maya Jama, Celebrity, The Traitors, Charity

Gazeteci Murat Ağırel'den Cezaevinden Şok İddia: Nezarethane Yemekleri Çiğ ve Kötü Kokulu

Kocaeli 2 No’lu F Tipi Cezaevi’nde tutuklu bulunan gazeteci Murat Ağırel, Cumhuriyet'teki köşe yazısında İstanbul Emniyet Müdürlüğünün Vatan Caddesi’ndeki nezarethanesinde dağıtılan yemekleri gündeme getirdi. Gözaltında bulunduğu sırada kendisine verilen tavuk ve patatesin çiğ olduğunu, tabldot açıldığında ise ağır bir kokuyla karşılaştığını belirten Ağırel, yemeklerin üzerindeki etiketten üretici firmayı tespit ettiğini aktardı."YEMEKLER ÇİĞ VE KÖTÜ KOKULUYDU"Yemeklerden numune aldığını ve savcılığa sevk edilirken bunları eşyalarıyla birlikte arkadaşlarına ulaştırdığını belirten Ağırel, yaşadıklarını şu sözlerle anlattı:"Plastik tabldot açıldığında inanılmaz kötü bir koku geliyor. Tavuk az önce kafesin içerisindeymiş ve alelacele paketlenmiş, et kesildiği gibi konulmuş gibi bir durumla karşılaşıyorsunuz. Yanında da patates var ama evlere şenlik. Dilimlenmiş ve öylece konulmuş. Et de patates de çiğ."8 MİLYON LİRALIK İHALEYİ OKBAY KAZANMIŞAğırel'in yazısına göre İstanbul İl Emniyet Müdürlüğü, nezarethanelere yemek temini için 2026/539158 kayıt numarasıyla ihaleye çıktı. 28 Nisan 2026'da gerçekleştirilen ihaleyi Okbay Unlu Mamülleri Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi, 8 milyon liralık teklifle kazandı. İhalenin yaklaşık maliyeti ise 11 milyon 375 bin lira olarak belirlendi.Sözleşme kapsamında 50 bin kahvaltılık, 25 bin öğle ve 25 bin akşam kumanyası temin edilmesi planlandı. İhaleye üç firma katılırken bunlardan birinin teklifi geçersiz sayıldı. Kumanyaların İstanbul'daki havalimanları ile Fatih Terörle Mücadele, Üsküdar Çocuk Şube ve Gayrettepe Asayiş başta olmak üzere emniyet birimlerinin nezarethanelerine dağıtılması öngörüldü. 51 ÖĞRENCİNİN HASTANELİK OLDUĞU OLAYDA DA ŞİRKETİN ADI GEÇTİŞirketin geçmişini Ticaret Sicil Gazetesi kayıtlarından araştıran Ağırel, firmanın 1997 yılında İsmet Bayraktar, Mehmet Bayraktar ve Ali Öksüz tarafından kurulduğunu aktardı. Şirketin ortaklık ve sahiplik yapısının sonraki yıllarda değiştiğini belirten gazeteci, 2024 yılında şirketin Abdülaziz Öksüz'den Ebubekir Öksüz'e devredildiğini yazdı.Ağırel, araştırmasında şirketin sahibi Ebubekir Öksüz'ün adının 2024 yılında Şile'de yaşanan toplu gıda zehirlenmesi olayıyla ilgili iddianamede de geçtiğini belirtti. 25 Aralık 2024'te Şile 75. Yıl Ortaokulu önünde İBB'ye bağlı mobil araçtan dağıtılan kumanyaların ardından 51 öğrenci bulantı ve kusma şikâyetiyle hastaneye kaldırılmıştı.SonTV'nin 23 Temmuz 2026 tarihli haberine göre, Şile Cumhuriyet Başsavcılığınca hazırlanan iddianamede kumanyaları üreten firmanın sahibi Ebubekir Öksüz ile dağıtım ve nakliye sürecinde görev alan üç kişi hakkında 10'ar yıla kadar hapis cezası istendi. İddianamede, İBB Sosyal Hizmetler personeli Özkan Uzunoğlu ile nakliye sürecinde görev alan Fikret Çetin Ramazan ve Hasan Kemal'in de isimleri yer aldı. Şüpheliler suçlamaları kabul etmedi."BİR ZEHİRLENME YAŞANIRSA SORUMLULAR BELLİ"Yazısında herhangi bir suç isnadında bulunmadığının altını çizen Ağırel, nezarethanelerde dağıtılan yemeklerin denetlenmesi gerektiğini vurguladı. Gözaltındaki kişilerin temel ihtiyaçlarının sağlıklı ve hijyenik koşullarda karşılanmasının zorunlu olduğunu belirten gazeteci, yetkililere denetim çağrısı yaptı.Ağırel, uyarısını şu sözlerle tamamladı:"Bundan sonra eğer bir zehirlenme olayı yaşanırsa bilin ki bu iş ile ilgilenenler bundan sorumludur." www.sozcu.com.tr internet sitesinde yayınlanan yazı, haber ve fotoğrafların her türlü telif hakkı Mega Ajans ve Rek.
