CONTRIBUTOR DAVID SALO ’91 Head Coach for USC Men’s and Women’s Swimming According to David Salo, alumnus and 11-year USC head swim coach, the secret to great coaching is thinking like a scholar. Salo earned a Ph.D. in exercise physiology from USC Dornsife in 1991 and is the author of two books on his evidence- based approach to training swimmers. “Usually coaches say, ‘Do more and you’ll get faster,’ ” Salo said. “But based on my research, I disagree.” Salo’s record speaks for itself: He has led a number of swimmers to major championships. His protégé list includes Rio Olympic medalists Katinka Hosszu and Amanda Weir. (For a list of USC Dornsife students and alumni who won medals in Rio, see page 68.) Salo’s unique methodology is based on the premise of swimming for less time at a higher intensity — a strategy that has proven successful even for distance racers. However, Salo is adamant that he will never employ a coaching strategy without data to back it up. “It’s the lesson of a Ph.D.,” he said. “You have to justify what you tell your athletes to do. You have to be ana- lytical and never spout out ideas you can’t defend.” PHOTO BY PETER ZhAOYU ZhoU PORTRAIT COURTESY OF DAVID SALO 2 fall 2016 / winter 2017 Educating Enlightened Electors 2 From the Dean This November, American voters will participate in one of the most important Contents 4 presidential elections of our time.

  • Hard-Coded Censorship in Open Source Mastodon Clients — How Free Is Open Source?
    Proceedings of the Conference on Technology Ethics 2020 - Tethics 2020 Hard-coded censorship in Open Source Mastodon clients — How Free is Open Source? Long paper Juhani Naskali 0000-0002-7559-2595 Information Systems Science, Turku School of Economics, University of Turku Turku, Finland juhani.naskali@utu.fi Abstract. This article analyses hard-coded domain blocking in open source soft- ware, using the GPL3-licensed Mastodon client Tusky as a case example. First, the question of whether such action is censorship is analysed. Second, the licensing compliance of such action is examined using the applicable open-source software and distribution licenses. Domain blocking is found to be censorship in the literal definition of the word, as well as possibly against some the used Google distribu- tion licenses — though some ambiguity remains, which calls for clarifications in the agreement terms. GPL allows for functionalities that limit the use of the software, as long as end-users are free to edit the source code and use a version of the appli- cation without such limitations. Such software is still open source, but no longer free (as in freedom). A multi-disciplinary ethical examination of domain blocking will be needed to ascertain whether such censorship is ethical, as all censorship is not necessarily wrong. Keywords: open source, FOSS, censorship, domain blocking, licensing terms 1 Introduction New technologies constantly create new challenges. Old laws and policies cannot al- ways predict future possibilities, and sometimes need to be re-examined. Open source software is a licensing method to freely distribute software code, but also an ideology of openness and inclusiveness, especially when it comes to FOSS (Free and Open-source software).

He admired his older brother, Huynh Thanh My, who was a photographer for Associated Press, and who was reportedly obsessed with taking a picture that would stop the war. Huynh was hired by the AP and was on assignment in 1965 when he and a group of soldiers he was with were overrun by Viet Cong rebels who killed everyone. Three months after his brother’s funeral, Ut asked his brother’s editor, Horst Faas, for a job. Faas was reluctant to hire the 15-year-old, suggesting he go to school, go home. “AP is my home now,” Ut replied. Faas ultimately relented, hiring him to process film, make prints, and keep the facility clean. But Ut wanted to do more, and soon began photographing around the streets of Saigon. "Then, all of a sudden, in 1968, [the Tet Offensive] breaks out," recalls Hal Buell, former AP photography director. "Nick had a scooter by then.

In moments of doubt, they made me realize that there is an audience for this kind of research, which made me even more determined to finish this thesis successfully.

  • Kim Phuc in Winnipeg for Peace Days
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/girl-in-the-picture-brings-peace-message-to-winnipeg-1.1862521 'Girl in the picture' brings peace message to Winnipeg South Vietnamese forces follow terrified children, including 9-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc, center, as they run down Route 1 near Trang Bang, Vietnam, after an aerial napalm attack on suspected North Vietnamese troop positions on June 8, 1972. A Vietnamese Airforce bomber accidentally dropped its flaming napalm on South Vietnamese troops and civilians. (Associated Press/Nick Ut) Kim Phuc recalls her 14 month recovery in a Vietnamese hospital. (Teghan Beaudette/CBC) You may not know her name, or even anything about her, but chances are you’ve seen a photo of her in her most vulnerable moment. Kim Phuc is known worldwide as “the girl in the picture” after being photographed as a child running naked in a small Vietnamese village after a napalm strike burned the clothes off of her body. The photo, taken by Nick Ut, is considered one of the most recognizable photos in the world. Phuc’s desperate face and burnt skin became the image of war, and years later, a catalyst for peace. Now, Phuc is an advocate for child victims of war and a symbol for peace. On Thursday, she stopped in Winnipeg to speak as part of the city’s Peace Days. The moments before the photo was taken Phuc was nine years old when the iconic photo was taken in 1972, in the midst of the Vietnam War. Days before, her family relocated from their home to a temple, believing it would be safer there, but, Phuc said, “in war time, nowhere is safe.” 'I wished the photo wasn’t taken the moment I saw it'- Kim Phuc, the 'girl in the picture' On the third day in the temple, south Vietnamese soldiers arrived to tell her family they needed to run.

  • War, Women, Vietnam: the Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978
    War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, Chair Susan Glenn Christoph Giebel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2013 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn University of Washington Abstract War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn Chair of the Supervisory Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, History This dissertation proceeds with two profoundly interwoven goals in mind: mapping the experience of women in the Vietnam War and evaluating the ways that ideas about women and gender influenced the course of American involvement in Vietnam. I argue that between 1954 and 1978, ideas about women and femininity did crucial work in impelling, sustaining, and later restraining the American mission in Vietnam. This project evaluates literal images such as photographs, film and television footage as well as images evoked by texts in the form of news reports, magazine articles, and fiction, focusing specifically on images that reveal deeply gendered ways of seeing and representing the conflict for Americans. Some of the images I consider include a French nurse known as the Angel of Dien Bien Phu, refugees fleeing for southern Vietnam in 1954, the first lady of the Republic of Vietnam Madame Nhu, and female members of the National Liberation Front. Juxtaposing images of American women, I also focus on the figure of the housewife protesting American atrocities in Vietnam and the use of napalm, and images wrought by American women intellectuals that shifted focus away from the military and toward the larger social and psychological impact of the war.

    Pivot to coronavirus: How meme factories are crafting public health messaging 28 July 2020, by Crystal Abidin Through this, they can have a huge influence in shaping social media. And—using the language of internet visual pop culture—meme factories can shift public opinion. When meme factories were born The first mention of meme factories seems to have been a slide in a 2010 TED talk by Christopher Poole, the founder of the controversial uncensored internet forum 4chan. 4chan, said Poole, was "completely raw, completely unfiltered." He introduced his audience to the new internet phenomenon of "memes" coming out of the forum, including LOLcats and Rickrolling – the largest memes to have emerged in the 2000s. ‘LOLcats’ were one of the meme forms of the 2000s.
