  • Mr. Jeffery Morehouse Executive Director, Bring Abducted Children Home and Father of a Child Kidnapped to Japan
    Mr. Jeffery Morehouse Executive Director, Bring Abducted Children Home and Father of a Child Kidnapped to Japan House Foreign Affairs Committee Monday, December 10, 2018 Reviewing International Child Abduction Thank you to Chairman Smith and the committee for inviting me here to share my expertise and my personal experience on the ongoing crisis and crime of international parental child abduction in Japan. Japan is internationally known as a black hole for child abduction. There have been more than 400 U.S. children kidnapped to Japan since 1994. To date, the Government of Japan has not returned a single American child to an American parent. Bring Abducted Children Home is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the immediate return of internationally abducted children being wrongfully detained in Japan and strives to end Japan's human rights violation of denying children unfettered access to both parents. We also work with other organizations on the larger goal of resolving international parental child abduction worldwide. We are founding partners in The Coalition to End International Parental Child Abduction uniting organizations to work passionately to end international parental kidnapping of children through advocacy and public policy reform. At the beginning of this year The G7 Kidnapped to Japan Reunification Project formed as an international alliance of partners who are parents and organizations from several countries including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The objective is to bring about a rapid resolution to this crisis affecting the human rights of thousands of children abducted to or within Japan. Many Japanese citizens and officials have shared with me that they are deeply ashamed of these abductions and need help from the U.S.

  • Introduction to Black Hole Entropy and Supersymmetry
    Introduction to black hole entropy and supersymmetry Bernard de Wit∗ Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Japan Institute for Theoretical Physics & Spinoza Institute, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Abstract In these lectures we introduce some of the principles and techniques that are relevant for the determination of the entropy of extremal black holes by either string theory or supergravity. We consider such black holes with N =2andN =4 supersymmetry, explaining how agreement is obtained for both the terms that are leading and those that are subleading in the limit of large charges. We discuss the relevance of these results in the context of the more recent developments. 1. Introduction The aim of these lectures is to present a pedagogical introduction to re- cent developments in string theory and supergravity with regard to black hole entropy. In the last decade there have been many advances which have thoroughly changed our thinking about black hole entropy. Supersymmetry has been an indispensable ingredient in all of this, not just because it is an integral part of the theories we consider, but also because it serves as a tool to keep the calculations tractable. Comparisons between the macroscopic and the microscopic entropy, where the latter is defined as the logarithm of the degeneracy of microstates of a certain brane or string configuration, were first carried out in the limit of large charges, assuming the Bekenstein- Hawking area law on the macroscopic (supergravity) side. Later on also subleading corrections could be evaluated on both sides and were shown to be in agreement, although the area law ceases to hold.

My staff and I wish to thank you for the attention this Committee has invested in reviewing the Copyright Act and related provisions of Title 17 during the past two years. During this time, you convened twenty hearings and traversed the formidable span of Title 17. This represents the most comprehensive focus on copyright issues in over four decades. I. BACKGROUND AND THEMES Although copyright law has grown more legally complex and economically important in recent years, Congress is uniquely positioned to sort through the many competing equities that comprise the public interest in this modern era.1 Questions include: how best to secure for authors the exclusive rights to their creative works; how to ensure a robust copyright marketplace; how to craft essential exceptions, safe harbors, and limitations; and how to provide appropriate direction, oversight, and regulation. This balancing act is not 1The United States Congress is not alone in this undertaking.

  • Monster Black Hole Found in Tiny Galaxy Discovery Hints at Twice As Many Supermassive Black Holes in the Nearby Universe As Previously Thought
    NATURE | NEWS Monster black hole found in tiny galaxy Discovery hints at twice as many supermassive black holes in the nearby Universe as previously thought. Ron Cowen 17 September 2014 Artist's impression by V. Beckmann/ESA/NASA/SPL Matter falling into supermassive black holes can get so hot that it emits X-rays. Astronomers have for the first time found strong evidence for a giant black hole in a Lilliputian galaxy. The finding suggests that supermassive black holes could be twice as numerous in the nearby Universe as previously estimated, with many of them hidden at the centres of small, seemingly nondescript galaxies known as ultra-compact dwarfs. Anil Seth of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and his colleagues report the findings on 17 September in Nature1. The team became intrigued by the ultra-compact dwarf galaxy M60-UCD1, some 16.6 million parsecs (54 million light years) from Earth, in part because its X-ray emissions suggested that it might house a black hole. Images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope showed that the galaxy harboured a high concentration of mass at its centre, but the team had no idea how heavy the putative black hole might be. To weigh the beast, the researchers measured the velocity of stars whipping about the galaxy’s centre using an infrared spectrometer on the Gemini North telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The high velocity of the stars is best explained by a central black hole that tips the scales at 21 million times the Sun’s mass, concluded Seth’s team.

  • Black Hole Math Is Designed to Be Used As a Supplement for Teaching Mathematical Topics
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration andSpace Aeronautics National ole M a th B lack H i This collection of activities, updated in February, 2019, is based on a weekly series of space science problems distributed to thousands of teachers during the 2004-2013 school years. They were intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in the math and physical science curriculum in grades 10 through 12. The problems are designed to be ‘one-pagers’ consisting of a Student Page, and Teacher’s Answer Key. This compact form was deemed very popular by participating teachers. The topic for this collection is Black Holes, which is a very popular, and mysterious subject among students hearing about astronomy. Students have endless questions about these exciting and exotic objects as many of you may realize! Amazingly enough, many aspects of black holes can be understood by using simple algebra and pre-algebra mathematical skills. This booklet fills the gap by presenting black hole concepts in their simplest mathematical form. General Approach: The activities are organized according to progressive difficulty in mathematics. Students need to be familiar with scientific notation, and it is assumed that they can perform simple algebraic computations involving exponentiation, square-roots, and have some facility with calculators. The assumed level is that of Grade 10-12 Algebra II, although some problems can be worked by Algebra I students. Some of the issues of energy, force, space and time may be appropriate for students taking high school Physics.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.
