Princeton Review calls Bellarmine one of nation's top universities
Bellarmine University is one of the nation's best colleges, according to The Princeton Review. The rating is based in part on a survey measuring student satisfaction with Bellarmine's academics and campus life.
Yesterday, the education services company released the 2021 edition of its college guide, " The Best 386 colleges." Only 13% of U.S. colleges qualify for inclusion in the book, based on demonstrated academic excellence and 140,000 student survey responses.
"Bellarmine's inclusion on The Princeton Review's list of the top U.S. universities is meaningful because it focuses on our students' evaluation of their academic and campus life experiences at Bellarmine," said Dr. Paul Gore, Bellarmine's vice president for academic affairs and provost. "According to the survey, Bellarmine students know their professors care about their success, they understand how their classroom experiences will connect them to their career goals, and they're deeply involved in the life of our campus and our city."
The publication contains a two-page profile of Bellarmine (PDF), which includes quotes that the book's editors selected from the surveys of Bellarmine students:
The school has "a niche, club or activity for everyone" (and "encourages and supports any club a student would like to create")
Students "hang around Café Ogle in between classes, sipping on coffee and working on their laptops."
People here are "very studious" during the week, but weekends offer plenty of options for socializing.
Bellarmine has a "superb teaching staff," offering a "challenging but rewarding" academic experience.
"Insightful and dedicated [professors] want their students to pass their class with as much knowledge as possible."
Career Development efforts "really [establish] an ability to grow closer to future employers," including professors who "help you find internships and jobs."
Commitment to Equity and Inclusion
Bellarmine is "welcoming to every single person and makes an effort to include everyone."
"We are exposed to different cultures and customs from around the world seeing that our student body is so diverse."
Experiencing Louisville
Student Affairs offers "free tickets to events or places around Louisville, such as to Dracula at Actors Theatre, a day at Kentucky Kingdom, or a day horseback riding."
According to the publisher, the annual guide of best colleges -- first published in 1992 -- is intended to help prospective students and their families find schools that fit academically, socially and financially.

Jenga is a deceptively tricky game. Players have to remove individual pieces from a tall block tower slowly, so the stack keeps its structural integrity, and then place them on the top gently enough so that it doesn't topple over.
While it's an entertaining (and sometimes stressful) game for humans, it's devastatingly hard for robots. After all, every block looks the same, but some are loose and some are crucial to keeping the structure intact–making it difficult for a computer system equipped only with a camera to figure out which blocks to remove. Now researchers at MIT have built a robot that uses a force sensor to feel out each block and decide whether to leave it or remove it. The robot is typically able to play around 15 different moves before the tower falls. That's better than my track record.
Nima Fazeli, a Phd student at MIT's MCube lab, which focuses on robots' physical interactions with the world, chose Jenga as the ideal challenge for a robot learning how to use touch to make decisions. First, Fazeli designed the robot, which primarily consists of a motorized arm and finger-like grippers, a camera, and a force sensor at its wrist so that it would be able to assess how much resistance it was receiving when it pushed on something. The second challenge was for the computer to successfully interpret what that resistance meant and use it to make a decision about whether to leave the block alone or to pull it out.
However, the machine learning models that often power robot decision-making wouldn't work for Jenga, because these algorithms typically need to be trained on many thousands of data points for the bot to learn what works and what doesn't. That would be vastly time-consuming; to build a training data set, researchers would have to rebuild the tower thousands of times as the robot inevitably made mistakes, a process that isn't easily automated. Research assistants would have to do it by hand.
Unlike people, who have an intuitive sense of physics and can reason that pushing a stuck block will likely topple the tower, the robot needs about 300 tests to learn what amount of force on what kinds of blocks will cause the tower to fall. These 300 data points help create a model of what types of blocks to grab, which the robot can use to predict what might happen to other blocks in the future. Then, it is ready to play.
The implications of the work, which was published in the journal Science Robotics, go far beyond Jenga. Fazeli says that the most immediate applications for the algorithm are on factory floors, where robots already work to assemble parts. The ability for a robot to feel if something has been screwed in properly, even if it looks fine visually, could help with building delicate, precise products like consumer electronics.
Unfortunately, this bot isn't the Alpha Go for Jenga–it isn't quite good enough to beat some human Jenga players, who can perform highly skilled tricks and strategies that are beyond the machine's understanding.
However, humans can still play against the MIT bot. "It's enjoyable if you're a little patient because it's slow," Fazeli says, since one move can take several minutes for the robot to execute. But at least you could say you played Jenga with a robot.


The Whit's End Podcast focuses on bringing the latest news and reviews about Adventures in Odyssey. This podcast was started in April of 2008 and was inspired by The Unofficial Podcast. Over the six years that the podcast has been "on the air", over 70 episodes have been released. While it may not be the most popular podcast out there, if you listen, you are sure to hear something you will like. The Podcast always closes with Whit's famous line, "The best is yet to come."
In the summer of 2013, the podcast had disappeared. The hosts were too busy to continue the show and let it go without warning. But almost exactly one year later, the podcast came back with Regis and a brand new co-host.
As you listen throughout the episodes, you will find that there have been several hosts. Regis started out with a co-host named Drew Hester, who was around until May of 2008. After he left, Regis had a variety of other co-hosts. Sometimes someone was with him, but most of the time he was solo or let another person have air time. The list of co-hosts includes Town of Odyssey users such as Jellyfish, Jennie, Emily, Tyler and also Matt.
On Saturday, August 10, 2013, Matthew the webmaster stepped in front of the microphone with Bren for the first time.
During the 6 years it has been around, The Whit's End Podcast has done 3 interviews with members of the Adventures in Odyssey team.

SP Gonadotropin 1000 is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) a medication containing chorionic gonadotropin obtained from a natural (human) origin in 1000iu vials. Chorionic gonadotropin is a polypeptide hormone normally found in the female body during the early months of pregnancy. It is synthesized in syncytiotrophoblast cells of the placenta and is responsible for increasing the production of progesterone, a pregnancy-sustaining hormone. Chorionic gonadotropin is present in significant amounts only during pregnancy and is used as an indicator of pregnancy by standard over-the-counter pregnancy test kits. Blood levels of chorionic gonadotropin become noticeable as early as seven days after ovulation and rise evenly to a peak at approximately two to three months into gestation. After this point, the hormone level will drop gradually until the point of birth.
HCG has no significant thyroid-stimulating activity. This is specifically pointed out because hCG was once widely used for the treatment of obesity.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is generally given by intramuscular (IM) injection. The subcutaneous route is also used and has been deemed to be roughly equivalent therapeutically to IM injections. Peak concentrations of chorionic gonadotropin occur approximately 6 hours after intramuscular injection, and 16 to 20 hours after subcutaneous injection.
When used to treat hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, current FDA-approved protocols recommend either a short 6-week program or a long-term program lasting up to 1 year, depending on the individual needs of the patient. Prescribing guidelines for short-term use recommend that 500 to 1,000 units to be given 3 times a week for 3 weeks, followed by the same dose twice a week for 3 weeks. The long-term recommendations call for 4,000 units to be administered 3 times weekly for 6 to 9 months, after which point the dosage is reduced to 2,000 units 3 times weekly for an additional 3 months. Bodybuilders and athletes use hCG either on cycle, in an effort to maintain testicular integrity during steroid administration, or after a cycle, to help restore hormonal homeostasis more quickly. Both types of use are deemed effective when properly applied.
Human Chorionic gonadotropin is often used with other medications as part of an in-depth Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) program focused on restoring endogenous testosterone production more rapidly at the end of a steroid cycle. Restoring endogenous testosterone production is a special concern at the conclusion of each cycle, a time when subnormal androgen levels (due to steroid-induced suppression) could be very costly to the physique. The main concern is the action of cortisol, which in many ways is balanced out by the effect of androgens. Cortisol sends the opposite message to the muscles than testosterone, or to breakdown protein in the cell. Left unchecked by a low level of testosterone, cortisol can quickly strip much of your new muscle mass away. Protocols for the post-cycle use of hCG generally call for the administration of 2000-3000 Units every 2nd or 3rd day, taken for no longer than 2 or 3 weeks. If used for too long or at too high a dose, the drug may actually function to desensitize the Leydig's cells to luteinizing hormone, further hindering a return to homeostasis. For a more comprehensive view of hCG's role in a proper hormonal- recovery program, please refer to the Post Cycle Therapy section of this book.

Infant Approval Hearing: Why do I need to attend Court with my child?
There are thousands of personal injury claims made on behalf of children each year. As they are under 18, the law requires that all compensation awards to them must be approved by the County Court at an Infant Approval Hearing. The process may sound daunting, particularly for a parent, guardian or carer whose child has been injured, but if the correct procedures are followed by their Solicitor, then it should be a straightforward and interesting occasion.
What is needed?
The Litigation Friend
The Infant Approval Hearing
Before any settlement can be legally concluded between the Solicitor acting for the child and the Defendant's representative (usually an insurer) the Solicitor must obtain advice from a Barrister about the value of the claim which confirms that the sum offered by the opponent is a realistic and fair sum in respect of the injuries and other losses sustained by the child claimant.
The Solicitor must then gather together all the relevant evidence including medical reports and any evidence of any financial losses that the child or their parent (when assisting them as a result of the injury) has suffered as a result of the accident.
The financial losses are known as Special Damages and can take a variety of forms. The most common are things such as mileage to and from medical appointments, extra time spent caring for the child, the cost of parking at hospitals, paying for pain relief (such as Calpol) or, in some cases, loss of earnings for a carer whose work pattern has been affected whilst they cared for their injured child. The Barrister will review all the evidence prepared by the Solicitor and advise what the injuries (known as General Damages) and Special Damages are realistically worth, normally giving a range of figures between which a Court might fix damages, depending on the generosity of the Judge hearing the case.
Once the Barrister's written advice is received, the Solicitor should then negotiate with the Defendant's representative. That process may be relatively short or, in cases where there is more money at stake, could last for months.
Once the settlement figure has been agreed, then provided it is as a good as or better than the valuation given by the Barrister, then the injured child's Solicitor should apply to the local County Court for and Order to approve the settlement.
Of paramount importance to the Court is to check that the child has made a full recovery, or has achieved as full as a recovery as they will ever make from the injury before the case is settled. That information will be found in the medical evidence, but the Judge may also wish to speak to the carer and the child (depending on their age) in person at the hearing, to confirm that their recovery is complete.
At the outset of the claim, the Solicitor acting for a child will need to speak to the child's family or carers to decide which individual is prepared to act as the child's Litigation Friend. A Litigation Friend is non-legally qualified adult who will conduct the proceedings and instruct a solicitor on the child's behalf. The Court rules state that anyone under the age of 18 must appoint a Litigation Friend. This is also true in cases where an adult does not have the capacity to understand the nature of litigation and/or manage their own affairs, such as an adult with learning difficulties or a brain injury.
Once a decision has been made about which family member or carer will be the Litigation Friend, their appointed Solicitor will make an Application to Court asking for the compensation settlement to be approved. The Solicitor will send to the Court all of the relevant medical evidence (to prove General damages) and other evidence to prove Special damages. They will also file signed confirmation that the Litigation Friend agrees to act and the Court will then fix a date for the Infant Approval Hearing.
Unless they are very young, (this varies from Court to Court, but as a rough guide 3 years or over) then the child will have to attend the Court hearing with the Litigation Friend. The Solicitor will also attend or may instruct a Barrister to go on their behalf.
The Child Approval Hearing is nothing to be frightened of and, in my experience, the Litigation Friend and the child usually come away from it feeling like it was a positive and worthwhile experience and certainly not something you would do every day!
The hearing usually takes about ten minutes, and normally takes place in the Judge's Chambers which is, essentially, the Judge's office. The Judge will usually be dressed in a suit or other smart clothing. There will not be any wigs or gowns involved. The Solicitor or Barrister will start by introducing the Litigation Friend and the injured child and then ask the Judge to make an order approving the settlement that has been agreed. Sometimes, a representative from the Defendant's insurance company such as a Solicitor or barrister might attend, although that is rare.
During Covid-19, the Courts have adapted the Infant Approval Hearing procedure. They are increasingly taking place as a telephone conference where the Judge, the Litigation Friend and representatives for both sides are represented.
The Judge will usually ask the child and/or their Litigation Friend a few questions so they can check that the injured child has made a full recovery, or that the fullest possible recovery has taken place. Assuming the Judge is satisfied of that and the reasonableness of the award, then they will make an Order approving the settlement and stating that the child's compensation should be paid into the Court Funds Office, or, preferably to a child ISA or trust fund which has already been open for the injured child by the Litigation Friend, as that will usually pay a higher rate of interest.
The Court Funds Office provides a banking and investment service for the Courts throughout England and Wales. It accounts for the money paid into and out of Court and looks after any investments made with that money. The Court Funds Office invests the money either in a high paying interest account or partly invested in an interest account and part into an Equity Index Tracker Fund on the stock market.
When the child is 18, the invested money (which, by then, will have accrued interest) is paid out to the injured person to spend however they want.
It is possible to ask the Court for a "one-off" immediate payment at the hearing but the Litigation Friend must be prepared to explain to the Judge why that payment is required. It is unlikely that a Court would approve such a payment unless the payment was for the immediate educational or health benefit of the child.
It is also possible with higher value settlements, to ask the Court to Order that a regular monthly or annual payment from the settlement monies to be paid to the child. Again, the regular payments would normally need to be shown to be required for the child's educational or physical wellbeing.
At the end of the Infant Approval Hearing the Judge will order the Defendant to pay the compensation into the Court Funds Office or to the child's solicitors for onward transmission to a trust fund or ISA within 21 days.
Afterwards, it is very important that the child's family or carers update the Court Funds Office if they move house or if they change contact details. This is because, when the child reaches 18, the Court Funds Office needs to know how to contact them to arrange payment of the invested money and accrued interest.
The Court will send a paper copy of its Order to the Solicitors who will keep it until the child is 21 and will also send a copy to the Litigation Friend for safekeeping and to pass onto the child on their 18th birthday, at which point they will be able to seek payment of the money to themselves.

Home General John Rock, inventor of oral contraceptive pill remembered
John Rock, inventor of oral contraceptive pill remembered
As surprising as it sounds, a report states that the inventor of the birth control pill, who was a Harvard fertility doctor, was of the opinion that people should have as many children as they could afford and they should have them early in life! The invention of the birth control pill is stated to have revolutionized contraception and been the cause of a lot of controversy, as well. This invention was made by John Rock, who was a Harvard College and Harvard Medical School graduate.
Rock's career was stated to have been spent at Harvard Medical School and the Free Hospital for Women, presently known as the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Further, it is also reported that he almost spent the same amount of time in developing two contradictory inventions; making infertile women fertile and the birth control pill.
Rock, was said to be the pioneer in the use of hormones to treat infertility. In fact, his experiments in in-vitro fertilization have supposedly laid the foundation for the birth of the world's first test-tube baby. He worked zealously for years to understand human reproduction and his labor focused on the early development of the human embryo and the timing of a woman's ovulation.
A symposium discussing Rock's life and career was believed to have been held at the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine, Harvard Medical School. It is further stated that this event was held in the honor of the opening of Rock's papers to researchers and academics. This event was sponsored by Countway's Center for the History of Medicine. This array was said to have consisted of innumerable scientific documents, letters, photographs, etc. belonging to Rock. More so, these documents even consisted of a brochure for Enovid, which is known to be the first oral contraceptive that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
During the symposium, there were presentations on Rock's life and science by Rutgers University Interim Chancellor and Distinguished Professor of History, Margaret Marsh, and by Wanda Ronner, clinical associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Pennsylvania. "The Fertility Doctor: John Rock and the Reproductive Revolution," was a book written on Rock in 2008 by these two distinguished people.
Marsh says that, "Research on human reproduction cannot be separated neatly into one category of infertility and another of contraception"
It is believed that Rock was a strong supporter of families. However, he was also of the opinion that when couples were content with the size of their family, they should be able to stop conceiving babies. His initial research into in-vitro fertilization was targeted at helping women to conceive. In contrast, his later research led to the invention of the pill which aimed at preventing women from conceiving.

At Winder Power we have tremendous history. After forming over one hundred years ago, we moved to our current premises in 2008. We have a modern factory covering 80,000 square feet, and have first-class employees who are committed to putting customers at the heart of capital to businesses in England and Wales. We have a wide range of customers in the utility, renewable energy and industrial sectors. We employ one hundred people and are proud to have our base in the heart of West Yorkshire.
The design, manufacture and testing of power and distribution transformers of all classes up to 60MVA at 66kV.
A full refurbishment and re-manufacture of power and distribution transformers up to 90MVA.
Substation works including transformer diagnostics, servicing and installation. We also offer a range of high-voltage electrical contracting services for all electrical apparatus.
The design and manufacture of power generation equipment and components.
Andy Pinkney, Jo Evans, Laurence MacKenzie and Paul Matthews led a second management buyout backed by Enterprise Ventures and Harry McCracken.
In 2008 Winder Power moved to newer and larger premises in Stanningley, just around the corner from its previous home but another world away in terms of facilities. This move brought a new dimension to the company's capabilities and also to its commitment to customer service.
The new headquarters provided enhanced facilities for continued growth of its power and distribution transformer business for utilities transportation and industry.
The new premises nearly doubles Winder Power's manufacturing capability, offering larger crane facilities, room for a new test laboratory and provided a more efficient office environment for the growing design, sales and business support teams.
Manufacturing space was also increase, which enhanced productivity.
The company underwent a management buy-out, which installed a senior management team and a new chairman at the head of the business with the aim of taking Winder to the next level in terms of growth, services offered and utility contracts won. This was a highly successful team that created a strong platform to develop and focus the business.
The company secured a three year deal with Northern Ireland Electricity for the design, manufacture and supply of power transformers in a variety of capacities, from 6.25MVA through to 25MVA. The company has since been very successful in winning long term contracts with other electricity network owners.
In 1981 Winder Power, or RF Winder as it was styled then, was the first main shirt sponsor of Leeds United, and it was the period that brought the company to the attention of the wider local community. The sponsorship package at the time cost around £40,000, which is the equivalent of £120,000 in today's money!
You can see the shirt design below, and if you are really keen you can purchase one of the original shirts on the website vintagefootballshirts.com – for £110!
At this stage in the company's development, the business covered a wide range of services and mainly focused on motors.
Winder Power was manufacturing new transformers but only small units.
Throughout the 1960s the company was heavily involved in electrical contracting work such as wiring factories and buildings, with a team of 50 people producing this kind of work.

Elisha Cuthbert and David Caspe Interview: HAPPY ENDINGS has a Great Start
By: Jessica Rae | April 13, 2011 at 10:27 AM EDT
What happens when you start a sitcom where most happy movies end? If there really is a happy ending, then we deserve to see it, right? That's how ABC's Happy Endings was created.
On Monday morning, I had the chance to speak with Elisha Cuthbert and David Caspe. Cuthbert stars as Alex in the new ABC series Happy Endings, which wascreated by David Casper. The show is about six friends, trying to survive after two of them break off their engagement – – – at the altar.
Caspe is a funny guy, who spouts off spordadic, script-worthy lines like – "I don't know if either of those words is the correct word, that's why I'm saying both."' He thinks Elisha is funny and lighthearted, and is well aware of her career background in mostly dramatic roles. Caspe noted that from Elisha they got "way more than expected." She has range. On the phone she does seem happy, easygoing, and downright sweet.
Caspe also spoke about how they have a fairly diverse cast and grouping of characters – including a gay character and an interacial couple. Of the cast, he said, "We tried to cast who made us laugh." I think a good job was done – because this cast is dreamy!
I spoke with David and Elisha about their creative environment, how to make the runaway bride a likeable character, and a very interesting hairdo…
David, this is your first TV show. Is there anything you're trying to avoid doing?
David Caspe: Wow that is a great question. What's crazy about TV is the schedule is so insane and that it moves so quickly that there's an element of what you want to do and then there's an element of what you can actually do.
There's sometimes (where) you've got to marry those two. But going into the show, my main goal is just to make it feel funny and real.
There have been so many great shows and there are so many great shows out there right now. But I'm not so focused on what not to do, just trying to keep my eye on making it funny and make it feel organic and real I guess would be the two things I'm focused on.
Elisha Cuthbert: I don't mean to chime in, but I just feel like I've also started to realize that in the process of comedy saying, can't or won't or not trying something is like that's when it's over, you know?
There are things that you try and then they don't work and you move on. But without the possibility of trying or tinkering with things, I mean it just – I don't think it leaves you in a very good place don't you think David?
David Caspe: Yes, we'll try anything. It's weird because there's a lot of stuff where it's funny on the page or it's funny in the writer's room and then you shoot it and for some reason it's not funny on set. Or you shoot it and it's hilarious on set and then you get in the editing room and you're like that's not so great and then you cut it.
So it's sort of there is an element of just try a lot of different stuff and then you slowly sort of learn what works. And so yes, it's been a constant learning process.
What's great about Elisha and the rest of the cast is they're game for anything. We try everything and we do it improv on set and a lot of rewriting on set to try and find new jokes in the moment.
So we do try a lot and a some of it does not work and hopefully some of it does.
It sounds like a very positive kind of environment. And speaking of positive… Elisha, despite the fact that your character abandons her finance at the altar and also very likeable. What do you think are her most positive traits and quirks?
Elisha Cuthbert: I'm glad that you think that, and I put a lot of thought into 'how do I make this character not a complete mess and people just write her off?' I played it as truthfully as possible. But what I think helps a lot – I think it was really in the writing in that we had those little flashbacks of – yes I recall the flashback on Valentine's Day where Dave gives her $40 cash, you know, in an envelope. And I think it was those little things that make you realize or like when I come back from the honeymoon which I explained to him I was not off with that guy. I was trying to figure my life out and in walks a naked girl.
The writing was so clever that it did the work for me because it makes you realize that it takes two to make a relationship work and that yes I may have been the one to run out but we were having issues. And I think a lot of people can relate.
I mean, it's an extreme thing to do but it was a fun way to kick the show off and a lot of people can relate and realize that. We're all asking these questions and we're all trying to figure out is this the right person and am I making the right decisions? Am I on the right path? It really is those underlying questions about love. So I think people can have a little sympathy for that I think in the writing and in the flashbacks and whatnot.
It was tough. I didn't really put too much thought into it. I just said let's do it and hopefully they'll stick with me and they won't hate me too much.
Yes, I don't think that they're going to kill her character off.
David Caspe: When casting Elisha she's just inherently likeable that. Her natural personality did a lot of the work for us in that pilot as far as making the character likeable despite doing this crazy thing.
And really quick, you mentioned coming back from the honeymoon. There was an interesting hairdo. Is – was that a wig?
Elisha Cuthbert: No, that was real.
Elisha Cuthbert: That took 3-1/2 hours to do. And yes, that's – and that was my – that's kind of similar in the same vein as my point before that I'm – I'm here. I'm doing comedy. I'm not going to, you know, I want to do it and I want to do it all the way kind of thing, you know?
So it's like when they – you know, when that sort of came about I just remember going we got – there's no other way. I don't want it too look – I really don't want it to look corny or cheesy. I want it really look like I went there and got the braids.
David Caspe: You remember what happened with the braids? Remember what happened with the braids?
Elisha Cuthbert: Yes, we didn't finish all the work on that scene because it was getting too late. And so we broke for the weekend.
And the assistant director came to me and said we're going to pick this scene up on Monday so do you want to take the braids out and redo them again on Monday morning at 3:30 am because it takes three hours or would you just want to wear them all weekend? I'm like you've got to be kidding me right?
And I wore them all weekend. And not to mention it was a long weekend. So we came back Tuesday and I wore them for a whole long weekend — ridiculous.
Now, keep your eye on David Caspe – who has a movie with Adam Sandler coming out, and another with Charlize Theron. This funny guy is a hot commodity, and from spending 40 minutes on the phone with him, I could feel the charming reason why. (Read: he's hilarious, why isn't he my bff?) And, of course, keep your eye on Happy Endings. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this show, but I went into watching it expecting very little. I came out a fan.
Happy Endings premieres tonight on ABC at 9:30 pm, followed by another new episode in its regular time slot, 10 pm. Visit the official Happy Endings website for more info.

The Global Chinese Economy Leads to an Equally Global Chinese Censorship
Sophia Yan
The television show South Park recently aired an episode called "Band in China." It satirizes the tendency of American businesses and the entertainment industry to conform to Chinese censorship in order to enter the lucrative Chinese market that offers potentially 1.4 billion customers. This episode accurately encapsulates the reality of Chinese censorship encroaching into Western life, as Chinese economic influence grows.
In the episode, a producer wants to make a film about Stan's heavy metal band. But the script is preemptively censored to ensure that the film will be permitted in China. Meanwhile, Stan's father goes to China and witnesses how the Chinese government oppresses free expression. Ironically, like many other American businesses, he abandons his values so he can sell his "tegridy," a breed of home-grown marijuana, to China. Then, like everyone expected, the South Park episode "Band in China" was indeed banned in China.
As was depicted in the episode, the Chinese government is harnessing its economic power to enforce censorship both at home and overseas. The Chinese State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film, and Television (SAPPRFT), regulated directly by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party, censors violent and sexual content as well as any material that offends the government's political ideologies and cultural standards. SAPPRFT's primary goal is to "make policies that guide the public opinion and production in the correct direction."
The same SAPPRFT policies and regulations apply to foreign films that are trying to enter the Chinese market. Hollywood filmmakers quickly learned to produce content that would both appeal to Chinese audiences and pass Chinese censorship standards. For instance, Marvel decided to change the Tibetan monk character in the original "Doctor Strange" comic to a Celtic woman, fearing potential backlash due to the Tibetan sovereignty dispute.
The movie "Top Gun: Maverick" encountered a similar challenge, and a similar choice was made in order to secure its access to the Chinese market. In the original 1986 version of "Top Gun," the main character wears a navy jacket with the embroidery of a Taiwanese flag. However, in the trailer of the 2020 sequel "Top Gun: Maverick," the Taiwanese flag was replaced.
Chinese President Xi views Chinese economic power as a means to achieve what he thinks is the role of literature and films: "art should disseminate contemporary Chinese values, embody traditional Chinese culture and reflect Chinese people's aesthetic pursuit." As long as the Chinese government keeps operating under this mindset, American filmmakers will be forced to choose between abiding by nebulous Chinese censorship expectations or preserving one's ideological integrity at the cost of millions of dollars in lost revenue.
In addition to American filmmakers, American business owners also face this difficult choice when trying to export their products to China. China's vocal censure of the NBA in particular has brought attention to the longtime practice of self-censorship by many American companies hoping to appease the Chinese government. On Oct 4, Houston Rocket general manager Daryl Morey deleted a tweet that supported the Hong Kong protesters directly after the Chinese technology conglomerate Tencent canceled digital streaming of Rocket's games. The chilling and rapid response of the Chinese government to a singular tweet begs the question: what leverage does an American company have against Chinese censorship?
This leverage largely depends on the elasticity of demand for the company's products in China and the number of competitors the company encounters both in China and at home. International technology companies like Google might have greater negotiating power than other smaller domestic companies. In 2010, for example, Google shut down its search engine in China to protest against China's search censorship (although it did later start a secret search engine project years later that would operate under Chinese censorship standards).
In January 2018, Beijing required Marriott to shut down its website and app for seven days after Marriott sent their guests a survey listing Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao as countries. Subsequently, the company announced that it did not support "separatist groups that subvert the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China." Similarly, four American airline companies– American, Delta, Hawaiian, and United– complied with China's order and stopped implying that Taiwan is a country during flight announcements. Even the fashion brands Versace, Givenchy, and Coach apologized for selling designs that undermined the "One China" policy, since the clothing suggested that Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau were independent regions.
When China utilizes its increasing economic influence to enforce its favorable political ideologies, many in the U.S. regard it as a threat to free speech. This encapsulates the vast ideological difference between these two countries and is central to the current disagreements in the U.S.-China trade war. The collateral damage of the trade war calls attention to the necessity of collaborations between China and the U.S., especially as the Chinese economy and the U.S. economy become more interdependent. Will these two superpowers find a way to reconcile their ideological differences to create a collaborative global economy? Or will the United States descend into yet another Cold War?

Russia opting for persuasion rather than compulsion concerning vaccination — Putin
© Mikhail Metzel/POOL/TASS
MOSCOW, December 5. /TASS/. Russia's authorities are opting for persuasion rather than compulsion in what concerns vaccination against the novel coronavirus infection, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.
"Indeed, the most important task is to vaccinate the population," he said during his video link with Francesco Rocca, President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). "And we are trying to follow a path of persuasion rather than of compulsion. We are trying to combat biased views and prejudices against vaccination as such."
According to the Russian president, the policy of persuading people in the necessity of vaccination against the novel coronavirus infection is yielding results in Russia.
"And I should say that in general, especially in the recent time, we see that it is yielding results," he said. "It is important to persuade people so that they understand that vaccination is necessary," he added.
The effectiveness of the Russian vaccine
Data from various countries indicate that the Russian coronavirus vaccine is among the world's most efficient and safe, Russian President said.
"Millions of people who have been inoculated with the Russian vaccine and the analysis of data we receive indicates that the Russian vaccine is among the most effective from the point of view of protecting against COVID-19 and safe in terms of the absence of any side effects," he said.
He also said he had been vaccinated and revaccinated with Russia's Sputnik.
According to the Russian president, Russia is receiving data for analysis from many countries, "including from absolutely neutral sources." "Independent structures from other countries share information about vaccination results with us. It is no exaggeration to say that these results are simply good," Putin stressed, adding that he doesn't mean to say that other vaccines are any worse. "We totally trust [foreign vaccines]. I simply want to confirm that the Russian Sputnik V vaccine is effective and safe," he stressed.
Russia, in his words, is "helping many world countries not only by selling the vaccine but also by providing it free of charge." "We will expand this format of support. We supply testing systems, including for free, medicines we have developed and are widely using. No doubts, we will continue to move in this direction further on," he pledged.
WHO certification
It is important that Russia's Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine is certified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as soon as possible so that it could be promoted abroad, Putin said.
He called for international cooperation in combating COVID-19 to prevent the emergence of new strains. "No doubt, we need to pool efforts internationally. Because if we see problems linked with insufficient vaccination even in one part of the world, these new variants, strains will reach even countries with wide vaccination coverage again and again," he said.
According to Putin, there are no problems for Russia but one. "We need to obtain a corresponding certificate of the World Health Organization as soon as possible so that our Sputnik V vaccine, you have mentioned, could be promoted in the world more widely," he said.
Recognition in other countries
He noted that around 200 million people have been inoculated with the Russian vaccine. "But it is necessary to see to it that those vaccinated with Sputnik V could have a possibility to move freely across the world, feel full-fledged citizens globally, like people vaccinated with other vaccines," he noted.
He stressed that these people's rights "should not be infringed upon, including the right to move across countries' borders."
Russia, in his words, hopes for the IFRC's assistance in promoting the Russian coronavirus vaccine internationally, since it united 192 member nations.

Introducing…Our Diagnostic Imaging Service!
Our tour of The Ralph services comes to an end (for now!) with an introduction to our Diagnostic Imaging Service and the wonderful Livia, Hadar and Frankie.
Our Diagnostic Imaging Service provides images of our patients' internal organs, tissues, bones, and more. These images are reviewed and interpreted by our team to accurately diagnose and monitor a variety of disorders. Different images are created using different equipment depending on which part of the patient we need to take a closer look at.
Here at The Ralph, we have a full range of diagnostic imaging equipment including digital radiography, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), fixed and portable ultrasound and fluoroscopy.
The tests our Diagnostic Imaging Service perform and the conditions they explore are very wide-ranging – too many to mention! Diagnostic Imaging is a core service in a multidisciplinary hospital like The Ralph and most of our patients will require imaging of some sort. Our Diagnostic Imaging Service works closely with all of our other services to ensure our patients get the best care possible.
At The Ralph, we offer an Outpatient Ultrasound service to primary care practices in our area. We also offer an image reporting and advice service. Our Diagnostic Imaging team includes both clinicians and a veterinary radiographer, so without further ado let's meet the people behind the service!
Livia Benigni
Livia graduated in 1997 from the University of Pisa in Italy. After graduating, Livia was a Cardiology intern and Staff Clinician at the National Veterinary School of Alfort (Paris, France); she then worked in private practice in Paris and London.
Livia trained to become a specialist at the Royal Veterinary College (University of London) and was the first RVC Senior Clinical Training Scholar (resident) in Diagnostic Imaging. In 2005 she obtained the specialisation Diploma from the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging.
Livia worked for 14 years as a radiologist in the busy referral hospital of the Royal Veterinary College (Queen Mother Hospital for Animals). During her time there, Livia taught small animal radiology, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance to RVC students and residents.
After leaving academia Livia became Head of Diagnostic Imaging at a private referral hospital (2015-2017) and worked independently, providing imaging referrals in the Greater London area.
Livia has authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in the field of diagnostic imaging and has contributed to the Mattoon and Nyland textbook Small Animal Diagnostic Ultrasound Third edition (2014) and to the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Ultrasonography (2011). Livia is an active speaker delivering talks at meetings, congresses and CPD lectures both in the UK and abroad. Livia is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (King's College London).
Livia is Head of the Diagnostic Imaging Service at The Ralph and will be ensuring the excellence of the Service, as well as advising colleagues with regards to diagnostic imaging techniques.
Livia shares her home with her partner, son and their rescued cat Tuco. Livia enjoys food, music, dancing and good weather.
Hadar Yanai
Hadar graduated from the University of Veterinary Medicine in Kosice, Slovakia in 2008 and has been working as a veterinary surgeon in the UK since then. In 2011 Hadar completed an internship focusing on Oncology in a hospital in Essex and in 2012 she completed a rotating internship in a hospital in Cambridgeshire. Hadar returned to Cambridgeshire in 2016 and continued her training in Diagnostic Imaging. Hadar has published a number of research papers on the topic of diagnostic imaging.
Hadar's role at The Ralph will be to acquire and interpret the images needed to diagnose conditions and perform procedures. A regular part of Hadar's day involves having clinical discussions and providing guidance to other team members and our veterinary community.
When Hadar is not at work, she divides her attention between her daughter, husband and dog.
Hadar enjoys singing and has done since she was a child. Hadar also likes to be outdoors with her family and to travel to distant locations (preferably warm!). Hadar enjoys cooking and listening to music.
Frankie Lodge
After graduating from Newcastle Upon Tyne Polytechnic with a BA(Hons) in Business Studies in 1984, Frankie followed a career in business. In 1999 She changed direction and qualified as a Veterinary Nurse (one of her best life decisions). Frankie worked initially in primary care practices and then moved to a referral hospital nearly 14 years ago. Working within a referral hospital allowed Frankie to follow her interest in diagnostics, and become a full-time Radiography Nurse working in both Radiography and CT, and latterly being Joint Radiography Supervisor for a team of seven.
Frankie's role at The Ralph is to produce high-quality diagnostic images for the Diagnostic Imaging clinicians and our other clinical services.
As Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) Frankie will ensure we are compliant with the Ionising Radiations Regulations. This involves working closely with the RPA (Radiation Protection Advisor) and includes compiling and maintaining local rules and safe systems of work.
Frankie lives locally with her husband Steve who is an Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapist (for humans) and a beautiful geriatric cat "Saskatoon" Saska for short who is 19 years old. Frankie and her husband both enjoy open water swimming all year round and at times can be found either bobbing around in the sea in Dorset or the Thames in Marlow.
Thank you for taking the time to read about our Diagnostic Imaging Service. Stay tuned for our next blog, as we share the latest news and stories from life at The Ralph.

Integrating the digital into the academic curriculum of history - How to engage your audience
Digital history & historiography
Stefania Scagliola
Cartoon workshop Integrating DH into the curriculum - Bas Kohler, Benelux DH 2017
After launching the Ranke.2 teaching platform on digital source criticism in autumn 2018, I assumed that its appearance and form – short colourful animations and easy-to-digest chunks of information – would soon catch the attention of lecturers and encourage them to use it in their courses. But a recent meeting with colleagues made me realise that personal contact and hands-on experience with the material are key to making my target audience realise that the resource offers something they may need.
Time is scarce
The Papalagi never has enough time. He has even divided the day up, like we cut up a coconut. And all the parts have a name: seconds, minutes, hours. I've never been able to understand this system, and anyway there's no point thinking about such infantile things. When one of their time machines sounds, he says: "Oh no, an hour has already gone by." I don't really understand this obsession, I think it's a serious illness. There are Papalagi who say they never have time, and they run around as if they were possessed by the devil. They don't realise that the time is there if they want it.
This observation supposedly comes from a Samoan chief who visited Europe in the 1920s and commented on the hectic lifestyle of its inhabitants. But it's a hoax.
German artist and author Erich Scheurmann did visit Samoa, but he turned his own romanticised insights about the "noble savages of Samoa" into speeches by the fictitious chief Tuiavii. This fraudulent Samoan perspective on the Western lifestyle does have a certain appeal for us, however, in that it is applicable to our own biotope: the university.
As Maggie Berg and Barbara Seeger have convincingly argued in their book 'The Slow Professor', academic life is increasingly characterised by fragmentation and distractedness caused by the pressure to write applications, to publish, to integrate new administration systems into our workflow, to attend to students and courses, to review papers, to visit, present and organise conferences, lectures and workshops, and to constantly update and quantify these activities.

The email avalanche
All these tasks generate a daily avalanche of emails that have to be answered and are particularly burdensome for heads of department who don't have the time to properly address all the issues raised. Their coping strategies vary from never answering emails, or only answering them when there is a direct imminent interest, to dealing with some of the issues raised in the email in a short and snappy style. The latter is the friendliest approach but threads of uncertainty persist and issues bounce back onto the agenda again and again. The consequence of these dynamics is that small issues remain unresolved and there is relatively little space for engaging in new initiatives that come on top of core activities. How can colleagues find the time to explore a new teaching resource when they don't even have the time to properly answer their emails? I understand that it's not a question of being uncollegial or uninterested; it's about being selective in order to survive and not become completely snowed under with work. But how did we deal with these issues before the introduction of email?

The curriculum as safehouse or fortress
It is no wonder that established curricula can sometimes take the form of safe houses, contexts in which lecturers feel confident and want to stay in charge. They are the "agents", drawing on "ingrained practices" in which they have struck a balance between personality, research interests and teaching skills. Determining the content and form of their teaching appears to be part of their professional identity. Imposing innovation in their day-to-day teaching practice may have the effect of turning the safe house into an impregnable fortress – a space where they are in command and refuse any interference. So what is the best way to deal with this context when you are not in charge of teaching, you are on a temporary contract and you are looking for an audience for your carefully crafted teaching resource on digital source criticism at your own University? How did I see the adoption of my teaching resource working out in practice?
Assumptions on the uptake of teaching material from Ranke.2
The concept of Ranke.2, a teaching platform with lessons on digital source criticism, is based on offering content to lecturers and students that can be adapted to suit varying levels of digital capability and differences in available time. This choice was made on the basis of feedback from colleagues who kindly participated in a number of focus groups during the development phase of Ranke.2. We therefore chose to create lessons that consist of independent modules: the SMALL module is a very short track consisting of an animation and a quiz; if lecturers have more time, the MEDIUM option offers a variety of assignments and an answer template; and if the objective is to provide students with a real hands-on experience, the LARGE module includes a tutorial for a workshop. The reasoning was that no lecturer would refuse the offer of a resource that teaches students what digital source criticism is in a nutshell, takes only 20 minutes of their time, with no need to register or download data or tools, and with the possibility to tweak the teaching material to their own preferences. But notwithstanding the enthusiastic reception, I now realise that I still do not have a full picture of how communication with and persuasion of my peers works. There seems to be a crucial difference between lecturers who have already identified "a need" for my resource and embraced the paradigm of "digital history", and those who are yet to – and may never – do so.

Method or narrative - where does Ranke.2 fit in?
Last Tuesday I held a meeting with colleagues of which I know that they will be teaching history courses in 2019. One of them, the very first to use the material from Ranke.2, managed to tweak it for her own purposes and was willing to explain how she had used it in her class. My naive expectation was that after her presentation, the others would outline the lessons they had planned and we could brainstorm about how to integrate elements of Ranke.2. We were however immediately confronted with differing opinions on the suitability of discussing digital source criticism in regular history courses. What is the place of Ranke.2 in a series of lectures about the history of Europe and European integration for 150 students from different humanities disciplines? The objective of this course is to get students to carefully listen to the lectures and read the literature, to reflect on the content in such a way that they are able to identify generic concepts and processes from specific historical narratives, and to apply them to other contexts. Why should this very important academic training make room for an animation and quiz about source criticism? The answer from the colleague who had already used Ranke.2 material in her class was that she feels that knowing about the origins of sources is relevant for any teaching activity related to history. Does this imply that because of the digital turn, we now have to upgrade the relevance of "source criticism" and include it in every single teaching context? How realistic is that? I realised that in my fervour to publicise my "digital darling" Ranke.2 , in which we had invested so much time and effort, I forgot that its relevance is a question of policy and choices that need to be made with regard to the overall design of the curriculum. How can we strike a balance between understanding abstract concepts and processes and acquiring basic knowledge about how digitisation and search engines work, within the constraint of the fixed number of hours in a course?
We need to talk, print and sit around a table
The assumption of the creators of Ranke.2 was that the appearance of the website would immediately catch the attention of our target group. So I was a little disappointed by some feedback I received about how a colleague who teaches on research methods felt so overwhelmed by its appearance that he decided not to use it. Although I had put a good deal of effort into creating easily digestible small units of information, his impression was that he could only engage with a lesson in its entirety. When I expressed my surprise about this reaction, the colleague who had worked with Ranke.2 pointed to my blind spot:
"The reason I took the effort to read the introduction and sift out what I could use for my lesson is because I already knew it was in there! I know you, you taught a hands-on lesson in my course about finding sources online, I saw how the handout worked with the students and could repeat the process with what I found on Ranke.2."
She then distributed the printed handout among her colleagues and the effect was amazing. Only then could they actually envision how the answer template could be used in practice in their lessons. They recognised the tables with categories and the questions – they were similar to what they had tried to do themselves. Ranke.2 entered the mental box of recognisable practices when the lecturers talked to each other, instead of attending one of my presentations on the concept of Ranke.2, and when they looked at a printed handout of an assignment, instead of browsing through the website with no clue what to expect. One could argue that it's all in there – you just have to read the introduction! This is true, but just as we have a strange aversion to following the logical sequence of texts in a museum or browsing through the FAQ when we have issues with an online service, we are reluctant to read and browse through the tabs of a website without having a vague idea about how much time it will take to find something we need. We prefer the mediation of a human being who can lead us straight to the relevant item. This insight led me to consider a shift in strategy: 1. Instead of convening meetings, I should invest time in giving guest lectures during my fellow colleagues' courses, and 2. The downloadable and tweakable answer templates and handouts that can be used in any lesson should be more visible on the website. I am grateful to my "informed" colleague, who made me realise that I have to be patient and focus on lecturers who have already identified a need that Ranke.2 can satisfy. There are plenty of them!!!

Q: If $Y\subset Z$, is a function from $X$ to $Y$ also a function from $X$ to $Z$?
If $Y\subset Z$, is a function from $X$ to $Y$ also a function from $X$ to $Z$?

I think both possible answers are plausible:

*

*One the one hand, a function $f$ from $X$ to $Y$ is often called an assignment of elements in $Y$ to elements in $X$. By this definition, the answer to my question is clearly YES.

*If we say that each function has a domain and codomain associated to it (i.e. they are part of the data), then the answer is clearly NO.

I guess this is a question about definitions and conventions and I would like to hear your thoughts. I have the impression that I am considering two different concepts, one of them being functions. What is the other one?

A: Yes, sometimes we do this.  It depends on the setting.  Certainly do it only if it it not confusing to the reader.
To be pedantic, we may say that the function $X \to Z$ is an "astriction" of the function $X \to Y$.  It has the same graph, but larger codomain.  This is a counterpart notion to the more common "restriction", where we change the domain (and therefore also change the graph).

Q: Construction of a naturaly adapted coordinate system to a reference frame Let $(M,g)$ be a four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold representing spacetime. We define a reference frame on the open subset $U\subset M$ to be a unit timelike future-directed vector field $Z$.
We define then a naturaly adapted coordinate system to a reference frame $Z$ to be a chart $(V,x)$ with $V\subset U$, being $\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x^0}$timelike, $\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x^i}$ spacelike for each $i=1,2,3$ and such that on $V$ upon expanding $Z = Z^\mu \dfrac{\partial}{\partial x^\mu}$ the spacelike components of $Z$ vanish, that is, $Z = Z^0 \dfrac{\partial}{\partial x^0}$.
I want to show that such a naturaly adapted coordinate system always can be constructed from $Z$, so that it always exists, but I'm not being able to do this correctly.
My first guess was to use the well known fact (proven in Spivak's DG Vol 1, Page 148) that given a vector field $Z$ on $M$ and a point $p$ there is always a coordinate system around $p$ such that $Z$ is the first coordinate basis vector field.
But that is obviously not enough. The coordinate system so obtained might contain lightlike coordinates for example, or not be an orthonormal coordinate system more generaly.
The next idea would be to use the Fermi Walker coordinate constrction somehow. The point is that in that construction given one curve we can define a coordinate system adapted to it. This construction is outlined here.
Here we have a vector field, hence we have infinitely many curves. I think we just need to adapt this construction somehow. The problem is that each curve would give one coordinate system with one different domain, and there would be lots of overlaps, so we wouldn't be able to just apply this construction point by point.
So how can I understand intuitively the procedure of construction of the naturaly adapted coordinate system and how can I precisely construct it?

A: Say you want to construct coordinates around a point $p\in M$. You can start by taking any chart $(V,x)$ around $p$ with respect to which $\frac{\partial}{\partial x^0}=Z$. Now, choose three space like vectors $X_1,X_2,X_3\in T_pM$, such that $Z(p),X_1,X_2,X_3$ is a basis of $T_pM$. By composing the coordinate chart $x$ with a linear isomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^4$ that fixes one axis, you obtain a new chart, $(V,T\circ x)$, with respect to which you still have$$\frac{\partial}{\partial x^0}=Z,$$ and furthermore, $$\frac{\partial}{\partial x^i}(p)=X_i,\;i=1,2,3.$$ As being space like is an open condition, the vector fields $\frac{\partial}{\partial x^i},\;i=1,2,3,$ are space like in some neighborhood $p\in V'\subset V$, and you're done.
