In the heart scan study, researchers found that the AI model wasn’t actually focusing on the heart itself, where there were few visible differences linked to racial categories. Instead, it drew information from areas outside the heart, such as subcutaneous fat as well as image artefacts – unwanted distortions like motion blur, noise, or compression that can degrade image quality. These artefacts often come from the scanner and can influence how the AI interprets the scan.
During the murder of Charlie Hebdo staff for printing a racist cartoon featuring an Arab (which criticised Islam) – the CPB and the Moring Star “ignored” the racist motivation and racist nature of the cartoon (associating freedom of expression with the right to be racist) – and openly supported the Charlie Hebdo business (re-publishing the offending cartoon). This policy replaced the more correct position of condemning the terrorist murders – whilst simultaneously condemning the French racism that triggered this violent response. This is an interesting departure for the Morning Star which in other circumstances has seen its full support for Islamic violence – providing it is aimed at Buddhist minorities. The Morning Star’s position was echoed in the Communist Review – a copy of which I encountered during a visit to the Marx Memorial Library in London. This is an example of the disgusting racism that exists and manifests on the far-left in the UK.
In the face of this serious and almost unprecedented situation in our history, we express our strongest repudiation of the bombings carried out, which represent a criminal violation of the sovereignty of peoples. We demand the immediate freedom of Nicolás Maduro and his wife, the fighter Cilia Flores, victims of the persecution and siege of Yankee foreign policy aimed at destabilizing the region by force.
We urgently call on the working classes of our countries and all progressive sectors to mobilize in the streets to repudiate these aggressions and defend continental dignity. We will not allow imperialist plunder and arrogance to determine the fate of our homelands. Out with imperialism from Latin America! Freedom for Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores!
From the night of the 27th December to the early morning of the 28th December, the China-Panama Park and the 150th Anniversary of the Arrival of Chinese in Panama – were forcibly demolished at the Bridge of the Americas Observation Deck in Arraiján, Panama. On December 28th, Panama President Mulino and a number of government officials from the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Canal Affairs and other Departments – all issued statements saying that the move was a “rogue-act” ordered by the Mayor of the Arraiján Municipal Government. The Government of Panama condemned this illegal act – and spoke highly of the profound historical significance of the Monument – and ordered the Monument fully restored on the same site.
Both China and Ireland cherish peace, embrace openness and inclusiveness, and strive for self-reliance and progress, Xi said, adding that the Chinese and Irish people won national independence and liberation through struggles and are advancing toward modernization through sustained efforts of successive generations.
Since the establishment of the China-Ireland strategic partnership for mutually beneficial cooperation in 2012, bilateral trade volume has quadrupled, with a balanced development in mutual investment, he noted.
Xi said the two countries should maintain friendly exchanges at multiple levels and across diverse fields, continuously enhance communication and mutual understanding, accommodate each other’s core interests and major concerns, consolidate political mutual trust, and solidify the political foundation of bilateral relations.
My Chinese language (and Buddhist) teacher – Richard Hunn (1949-2006) – used to write reviews for Amazon that were so good, Publishers would pay him for quoting these texts in their printed (real-world) versions! As he guided me through the British Academic world – he taught me to review long texts in a shortened but informative format – using Amazon as a testing ground. I wrote hundreds of these prior to 2010 – but soon got fed-up with the political censoring and interference. Indeed, I switched the review process of good books to this very blog as my voice was being crushed by US anti-intellectualism. Here is the Review that got through:
