Joseph Sunn Jue and Run Run Shaw out OF
CAAMFest 2014 Honors Two Film Production Pioneers: Joseph Sunn Jue and Run Run Shaw SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2014 — The Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) is excited to showcase two pioneers from Asian and Asian American film history: Joseph Sunn Jue and Run Run Shaw. Legendary Chinese American producer Joseph Sunn Jue formed the Grandview Film Company in San Francisco in 1933. It was the only operating Chinese American motion picture company in the United States during the 1930s. With the help of the Hong Kong Film Archive, CAAMFest 2014 will present two of seven surviving Grandview productions for the first time in 67 years. Run Run Shaw is one of the most influential figures in the Asian entertainment industry. The Hong Kong mogul and movie producer was also a philanthropist who donated billions to charities in his lifetime and also founded Shaw Brothers Studios. On January 7, 2014, Shaw passed away at the age of 106. CAAM pays tribute to his legacy with a screening of three of his studio’s spectacular cinematic creations. CAAM is pleased to present these films at the Great Star Theater, Chinatown’s last remaining film theater which showed the early works of Run Run Shaw. OUT OF THE VAULTS: REDISCOVERING GRANDVIEW FILMS CAAMFest’s Out of the Vaults showcases films ripe for rediscovery. This year’s presentation highlights Joseph Sunn Jue and his Grandview Film Company. Producing a series of imaginative comedies, melodramas and romances geared towards the Cantonese‐speaking market in the 1930s, Grandview captured a unique era in the lives of Chinese Americans. -
Comments on the 2011 Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences - - an Analysis of Collectively Formed Errors in Physics by C
Global Journal of Science Frontier Research Physics and Space Science Volume 12 Issue 4 Version 1.0 June 2012 Type : Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4626 & Print ISSN: 0975-5896 Comments on the 2011 Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences - - An Analysis of Collectively Formed Errors in Physics By C. Y. Lo Applied and Pure Research Institute, Nashua, NH Abstract - The 2011 Shaw Prize in mathematical sciences is shared by Richard S. Hamilton and D. Christodoulou. However, the work of Christodoulou on general relativity is based on obscure errors that implicitly assumed essentially what is to be proved, and thus gives misleading results. The problem of Einstein’s equation was discovered by Gullstrand of the 1921 Nobel Committee. In 1955, Gullstrand is proven correct. The fundamental errors of Christodoulou were due to his failure to distinguish the difference between mathematics and physics. His subsequent errors in mathematics and physics were accepted since judgments were based not on scientific evidence as Galileo advocates, but on earlier incorrect speculations. Nevertheless, the Committee for the Nobel Prize in Physics was also misled as shown in their 1993 press release. Here, his errors are identified as related to accumulated mistakes in the field, and are illustrated with examples understandable at the undergraduate level. Another main problem is that many theorists failed to understand the principle of causality adequately. It is unprecedented to award a prize for mathematical errors.

Heightening Sense of Crises over Press Freedom in Hong Kong: Advancing “Shrinkage” 20 Years after Returning to China April 2018 YAMADA Ken-ichi NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute Media Research & Studies _____________________________ *This article is based on the same authors’ article Hong Kong no “Hodo no Jiyu” ni Takamaru Kikikan ~Chugoku Henkan kara 20nen de Susumu “Ishuku”~, originally published in the December 2017 issue of “Hoso Kenkyu to Chosa [The NHK Monthly Report on Broadcast Research]”. Full text in Japanese may be accessed at http://www.nhk.or.jp/bunken/research/oversea/pdf/20171201_7.pdf 1 Introduction Twenty years have passed since Hong Kong was returned to China from British rule. At the time of the 1997 reversion, there were concerns that Hong Kong, which has a laissez-faire market economy, would lose its economic vigor once the territory is put under the Chinese Communist Party’s one-party rule. But the Hong Kong economy has achieved generally steady growth while forming closer ties with the mainland. However, new concerns are rising that the “One Country, Two Systems” principle that guarantees Hong Kong a different social system from that of China is wavering and press freedom, which does not exist in the mainland and has been one of the attractions of Hong Kong, is shrinking. On the rankings of press freedom compiled by the international journalists’ group Reporters Without Borders, Hong Kong fell to 73rd place in 2017 from 18th in 2002.1 This article looks at how press freedom has been affected by a series of cases in the Hong Kong media that occurred during these two decades, in line with findings from the author’s weeklong field trip in mid-September 2017. -
Asymptotic Sieve for Primes 1043
Annals of Mathematics, 148 (1998), 1041–1065 Asymptotic sieve for primes By John Friedlander and Henryk Iwaniec 1. Heuristics and statement of results For a long time it was believed that sieve methods might be incapable of achieving the goal for which they had been created, the detection of prime numbers. Indeed, it was shown [S], [B] to be inevitable that, in the sieve’s original framework, no such result was possible although one could come tan- talizingly close. This general limitation is recognized as the “parity problem” of sieve theory. More recently, beginning with the work [IJ], this goal has in certain cases become possible by adapting the sieve machinery to enable it to take advantage of the input of additional analytic data. There have been a number of recent developments in this regard, for example [H], [DFI], [FI], and several recent works of R.C. Baker and G. Harman. The story however is far from finished. In this paper we consider a sequence of real nonnegative numbers (1.1) = (a ) A n with the purpose of showing an asymptotic formula for (1.2) S(x)= anΛ(n) nX6x where Λ(n) denotes the von Mangoldt function. The sequence can be quite A thin although not arbitrarily so. Setting arXiv:math/9811186v1 [math.NT] 1 Nov 1998 (1.3) A(x)= an nX6x we require that A(x) be slightly larger than A(√x); precisely (1.4) A(x) A(√x)(log x)2 . ≫ *JF was supported in part by NSERC grant A5123 and HI was supported in part by NSF grant DMS-9500797. -
Introduction
introduction The disembodied voices of bygone songstresses course through the soundscapes of many recent Chinese films that evoke the cultural past. In a mode of retro- spection, these films pay tribute to a figure who, although rarely encountered today, once loomed large in the visual and acoustic spaces of popu lar music and cinema. The audience is invited to remember the familiar voices and tunes that circulated in these erstwhile spaces. For instance, in a film by the Hong Kong director Wong Kar- wai set in the 1960s, In the Mood for Love, a traveling businessman dedicates a song on the radio to his wife on her birthday.1 Along with the wife we listen to “Hua yang de nianhua” (“The Blooming Years”), crooned by Zhou Xuan, one of China’s most beloved singers of pop music. The song was originally featured in a Hong Kong production of 1947, All- Consuming Love, which cast Zhou in the role of a self- sacrificing songstress.2 Set in Shang- hai during the years of the Japa nese occupation, the story of All- Consuming Love centers on the plight of Zhou’s character, who is forced to obtain a job as a nightclub singer to support herself and her enfeebled mother-in- law after her husband leaves home to join the resis tance. “The Blooming Years” refers to these recent politi cal events in a tone of wistful regret, expressing the home- sickness of the exile who yearns for the best years of her life: “Suddenly this orphan island is overshadowed by miseries and sorrows, miseries and sorrows; ah, my lovely country, when can I run into your arms again?”3 -
