How does all this tie together? Class 23 brings the effects of the past century of imperialism into sharp focus. Timothy Snyder is the Richard C. Levin Professor of History at Yale University and a permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. He speaks five and reads ten European languages. Ukraine must have existed as a society and polity on 23 February 2022, else Ukrainians would not have collectively resisted Russian invasion the next day. What does it mean for a nation to exist? Is this a matter of structures, actions, or both? Why has the existence of Ukraine occasioned such controversy? In what ways are Polish, Russian, and Jewish self-understanding dependent upon experiences in Ukraine? Just how and when did a modern Ukrainian nation emerge? For that matter, how does any modern nation emerge? Why some and not others? Can nations be chosen, and can choices be decisive? If so, whose, and how? Ukraine was the country most touched by Soviet and Nazi terror: what can we learn about those systems, then, from Ukraine? Is the post-colonial, multilingual Ukrainian nation a holdover from the past, or does it hold some promise for the future?

‘Degrading to Africans’: why I think we should boycott this Christmas song

,In 1984, charity supergroup called Band Aid made Do They Know It's Christmas? to raise money for people in Ethiopia during a national crisis. Two more versions were released – including one in 2014 aiming to help victims of the Ebola outbreak. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn Afrobeats artist Fuse ODG was invited to take part in that edition, but refused, saying the single did ‘more harm than good’. He added that the organisers did not agree with his request to change some of the lyrics and imagery used in the campaign that are ‘degrading’ to Africans. Now, with a new 40-year anniversary recording to be released in a few days, the MOBO award-winning artist is continuing to call out the issue – and has had other artists back him. “I understand that there might be good intentions … but there’s a way to do that without also kicking them while they’re down,” says the British-Ghanaian artist. Fuse ODG, who has recently launched an app about African history and languages, says the important thing is to lift up voices and tell stories that are often overlooked on the global stage – such as the fact that a cure for Ebola was discovered by a doctor from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dr Jean-Jacques Muyembe. In response to the growing backlash, Bob Geldof, one of the founders of Band Aid, told the Conversation: “This little pop song has kept hundreds of thousands if not millions of people alive. In fact, just today [it] has given hundreds of thousands of pounds to help those running from the mass slaughter in Sudan, and enough cash to feed a further 8,000 children in the same affected areas of Ethiopia as 1984.” Watch this video to learn more about why Fuse ODG thinks this – and other similar campaigns – is so damaging to Africa in the long term, and what he believes can help tackle negative stereotypes.

Posted • November 24, 2024: In the grand scheme of things, "Surgeon General" is a wasteful and often counterproductive (assuming the goal is actually improving public health and not advancing special interests) position that Trump should do away with entirely. No one needs a sleazy bureaucrat in a silly admiral costume using their tax money to tell them how to live their lives — much less issuing pseudoscientific edicts for unclear and nefarious purposes, as we have been subject to for many years now. What we need, in my opinion and apparently many other Americans’ given the recent election results, is a bulldog like RFK Jr., doctor or not, to clean up the water, air, drug, and food supplies through — and I know this is anathema to conservative orthodoxy, but I believe it’s necessary in the real world with bad industry actors who don’t care about human health and often, indeed, seem hellbent on ruining it — regulations that make sense and that are applied honestly and aggressively.

But anyway, if this government bloat is to continue in perpetuity, the Surgeon General ought rightly to be someone exactly not like Janette Nesheiwat, Trump’s nominee. Nesheiwat, who specialized in emergency and family medicine, has supported vaccines that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s nominee for HHS secretary, has cast doubts about. Janette has not just “supported vaccines”; she has actively promoted and praised censorship of dissident voices on the topic in the alleged service of Public Health™. She called the COVID “vaccines” — which are not now and never were real vaccines and which killed and maimed more people than we can perhaps ever fully account for — a “gift from God.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GdB_7k9WYAA4Toj?format=jpg&name=large

She also fearmongered in 2021 on nominally conservative Fox News with no pushback from the “journalist” interviewing her about COVID “putting our children in the hospital in record numbers” and, as a result, hospitals were “running out of ICU beds.” Both claims were lies. None of this garbage is what American voters signed off on when they elected Trump. (…)

,Mexico City, where Dahua, one of China's leading security tech companies, is launching its products for the Mexican market. On offer here are the latest security cameras, equipped with thermal imaging, facial recognition, the ability to deploy security drones, and all interconnected through 5G technology and the so-called 'internet-of-things'. It's technology that is advancing fast into 'AIOT' - the Artificial Intelligence of Things. Yet in Mexico, that remains a challenge. Increasing 5G coverage in Mexico, and across Latin America as a whole, has been a slow process. Dimitri Flores is a 5G engineer in the telecommunications sector. However, he says that Chinese interest in the region is growing. As 5G rollout continues in Latin America, it's Chinese technology that may bring the region up-to-speed more quickly. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.

,At the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) held in Baku, Azerbaijan, a package of results was reached on topics such as the new collective quantification targets for climate financing (NCQG) and the global carbon market mechanism under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The head of the Chinese delegation stated in his speech that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the entry into force of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Over the past 30 years, the governance process of the Convention has faced various challenges; although it has not been smooth sailing, it has consistently moved forward. Humanity is a community with a shared future, and in the face of the climate crisis, we can only unite and cooperate to respond together. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.

Trump's Surgeon General Nominee Praised Facebook For Its Censorship During Covid

Posted • November 23, 2024: President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet picks have been mostly great so far, but Trump has a history of making bad choices. One of those bad choices, according to conservatives, is Trump's nominee for Surgeon General. No, it's not Ben Carson … it's Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, whose resume during the COVID-19 lockdowns isn't stellar. Why? Here's Nesheiwat on Fox Business praising Facebook's approach to censoring anti-vaccine "disinformation" and hoping that other social media platforms would follow suit. Trump's pick for Surgeon General, Janette Nesheiwat, praised Facebook for censoring anti-vaccine information, adding that she will "hope and pray" other social media companies do the same. -- Nesheiwat was also a BIG fan of masking and social distancing. Janette Nesheiwat endorsed masks for children, promoted COVID vaccination for all age groups, and approved of censorship by social media companies.

Look, there's a lot we didn't know about COVID. But we know it now, so why regress? This is like when former Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wen told CNN in December of 2021 that "cloth masks a little more than facial decoration" and don't work — after we'd all been forced to wear cloth masks. Or when President Joe Biden promised you wouldn't contract or spread COVID if you got the vaccine. Then Biden got COVID at least twice despite double-masking and getting every booster available. But no, we don't want anyone who praised social media for censoring discussion of the vaccine and its effectiveness. Let's hope she has revised her stance on these things in light of all the new information that has come out since the time of this interview. She allegedly has … but to praise Facebook's censorship efforts? That's hard to forgive. […]

A lot of people in the replies favor Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who was handpicked by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the country's best governor. So Nesheiwat was a clueless as everyone else during the pandemic, but word is that she's changed? But why her when there are so many other options? (…)

,This week's top stories of the week include: 0:14 Wind turbine repurposed into home – It’s built from the control box of a Vattenfall turbine which stood in an Austrian wind farm for 20 years. Most wind farm nacelles today are much larger. But a team from architecture collective Superuse Studios, working with Blade-Made, chose one of the smallest to prove that the concept of a tiny turbine home could work. 1:57 Robot makes its conducting debut – The 3-armed robot performed in a concert in Germany, leading the specially written Semiconductor’s Masterpiece. The piece features 3 wildly diverging time signatures. The orchestra’s artistic director says the robot is not intended to replace humans but to perform complex music too difficult for a person to conduct. 3:41 Europe’s largest Marine Protected Area – It covers almost 300,000 km2 of the ocean floor and encompasses several vulnerable marine ecosystems. Half the new MPA is fully protected, meaning no fishing or extractive activities are allowed. While the other half is highly protected which restricts activities like fishing. 6:41 4 ways to maximize cybersecurity – Cyber insecurity is one of the biggest risks facing the world. As technology evolves and spreads, cyber resilience becomes more important than ever. Cyber resilience is an organization’s ability to minimize the impact of significant cyber incidents on its primary goals and objectives. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
