It is a language of homophones, words that sound the same but look drastically different when written out on paper. For Lunar New Year, Chinese people use this homophone phenomenon to attach symbolic significance to food. For example, we'll eat fish, because the word fish (written as 魚) makes the same sound on your tongue as the word surplus (written as 餘).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Features - Wednesday Q+A with NASA's Eric Smith The program scientist for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Program discusses the telescope's stunning new images, and why they matter.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dr. Eric Smith is the program scientist for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Program, as well as the chief scientist of the Astrophysics Division. He's also held a similar role for Webb's predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, and worked on the science team for the Space Shuttle-borne Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope. He spoke with Michelle Shen about the first images released from Webb this week, which President Biden called “a historic moment for science and technology," and the national and international collaboration required for such an undertaking, 26 years in the making. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Can you describe, in layman's terms, what exactly we're seeing in this image from the James Webb telescope? The central object in this image looks sort of like white diffuse clouds—that is actually a cluster of galaxies. Then if you expand your eyes out from those white clouds in the center, you'll see there a lot of little reddish-looking arcs, and those arcs are distorted images of a galaxy that's farther away from us than those whitish blobs. So this tells us we're going to be able to see the first stars and galaxies that formed in the universe when we really put Webb to the test. How long did this project take, and what was involved in this massive effort? This is a telescope that took the planet to build, in some sense. It's a collaboration led by NASA, but we involved partners of the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. Our primary industry partner was Northrop Grumman. And the project itself has been going on for 26 years. It initially started with studies at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. And over that 26 years, we had to invent technologies to make the telescope happen. Some of the development took longer than we anticipated. We ran into challenges as we were putting it together because it was such a complex machine. We really pushed the boundary of industry capabilities, which in part is what NASA is supposed to do. Not only is this a win for our scientists and the data that comes to the public, but it's a win for industry because they get to invent new things and make better products themselves in the future. NASA's Eric Smith NASA PHOTO I also wanted to see if you could go into more depth about the implications of the scientific discovery and how it could potentially advance the U.S. and its strategic interests in space. Nothing demonstrates U.S. leadership and the ability to do unbelievably hard things in space the way the James Webb Space Telescope does. We've never tried anything this difficult, this complex as far as deployment and automation, techniques for testing; all were really pushing the boundaries of what the U.S. is capable of. So if you want to make something that almost seems impossible in space, well, the U.S. is the place to do it. What’s the strategic value of continuing this research, and what sort of things do you anticipate discovering in the future? For lawmakers, the thing to remember is that a telescope like Webb or any big mission involves multiple districts. We had components coming to us from 29 states. Many states had multiple different vendors working on it. So it's a product of a nation. When you invest in essentially leading-edge technologies like Webb, you are going to stress the system, and that stress causes the system to grow; it causes new jobs to be made. One common error that I'll hear people make about anything in space is like, “Oh, why are they sending all this money to space?” No, you can't spend a single dime in space. All that money is spent on Earth, in lawmakers’ districts, and it's providing good jobs, and it's paying for people's cars, and it's advancing the nation through knowledge and brains. So I think this kind of work is one of the best things that the United States does. We built the mirrors. We mined the beryllium in Utah, shipped it to Ohio for machining, shipped down to Alabama for fixturing, shipped to California for further testing. Literally the mirrors travel all over the country. We built the spacecraft here; one of the instruments ... was built by Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California. So there isn't a piece of Webb that doesn't have the U.S. in it somewhere.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Political Journalism - House Republicans attempt to avoid 2022 letdown with new tactic on abortion: ‘We’re both pro-choice’</image:title>
      <image:caption>Republicans in the nation’s toughest House districts are making a major pivot on abortion with a surprising result — they’re starting to sound like Democrats. GOP candidates in suburbs of places like Tucson, Des Moines and Syracuse are going public with vows never to criminalize abortion or support a national ban. Some are going further: Rep. John Duarte of California’s Central Valley, Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in northern New Jersey and GOP candidate Matt Gunderson in the San Diego area have all described themselves as “pro choice” — with the latter even speaking directly to camera in his first TV ad and borrowing Bill Clinton’s phrase calling for the procedure to be “safe, legal and rare.” In 2022, Democrats dumped a half-billion dollars’ worth of abortion attacks into pivotal races and helped prevent a GOP wave. This time, Republicans, like freshman Rep. Marc Molinaro, who is defending a tough upstate New York seat, are looking to take that issue off the table for Democrats. Molinaro was one of the first Republicans this cycle to launch a TV ad devoted solely to his stance on abortion. “I believe in supporting all women and the choices they make,” Molinaro says, speaking into the camera, in the ad.

      <image:caption>Election officials in Georgia, North Carolina and Florida are working quickly to ensure voters can still securely cast early ballots, despite the devastating storm impacts of Hurricane Helene that have in some cases left them without power, water and cell service. Potential solutions in the affected counties of the three states, which could determine the White House, could include extra polling places, extending early voting and making it easier to drop off mail ballots. “We have no power. We have no water. Cell service is limited, so right now the concern is a delay in getting the absentee ballots mailed out, a delay in receiving the mail,” W. Travis Doss, Jr., the executive director of the Augusta-Richmond County Board of Elections in Georgia, told CNN. Doss said some of the county’s 43 polling locations could be “unable to be used.” Read more.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Political Journalism - Young Democrats face Gaza blowback as they try to mobilize students for Biden</image:title>
      <image:caption>President Joe Biden’s support for the Israeli military offensive in Gaza mixed with student anger over police crackdowns on anti-war campus protests is complicating the work of Democratic youth groups trying to engage classmates and other Generation Z voters ahead of this year’s election. Polling of young voters on the Israel-Hamas War, specifically about its effect on Biden’s campaign, presents a mixed picture. A majority of young adults (63%) in the Economist/YouGov poll said they haven’t attended any sort of political protest, rally or demonstration. “This is a different youth electorate than we saw in 2020 and 2022, and young voters are motivated by different things,” John Della Volpe, the Harvard Institute of Politics polling director, said when the results were released. “Economic issues are top of mind, housing is a major concern and the gap between young men’s and young women’s political preferences is pronounced.” Read more.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The top super PAC that works to elect House Democrats plans to spread nationwide the tactics it used in the recent special election in New York as the party looks to recapture the chamber's majority in November. This comes on the heels of Democrat Tom Suozzi's comfortable victory Tuesday night in the special election to succeed disgraced former GOP Rep. George Santos in New York's 3rd Congressional District. Suozzi’s strategy in the special election revolved around tackling immigration head-on rather than avoiding the topic as a Democratic weakness. House Majority PAC ran ads featuring positive messaging around Suozzi and his immigration record and used the failure of the bipartisan border deal to attack Republican nominee Mazi Pilip in the final days of the campaign. “I can guarantee that this bill will be used in paid media in November, October … to hit Republicans on immigration…” Read more.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman voluntarily checked himself into Walter Reed Medical Center for inpatient hospital care for clinical depression. Three members of Congress shared their experiences with depression and anxiety with National Journal, as well as the generosity and grace people deserve when struggling with mental health. Rep. Becca Balint of Vermont spoke of how the specter of anxiety and depression plagued her since she was an adolescent, only growing worse over time. “By the time I was in high school, I had several really serious bouts with depression and didn't really have the language for it,” Balint said. “It got really acute for me my senior year in high school, when I went from being a straight-A student, president of the drama club, president of student government, to barely being able to get myself to class every day.” Read more.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Research - Abstract: Autonomous and/or automated vehicles offer a host of future opportunities but leave many questions unanswered regarding their impact on crash avoidance or the ability of drivers to effectively scan and re-engage from self-driving mode when necessary to avoid crash scenarios. Considering a 16-year-old is several times more likely to die in an automobile crash than other licensed drivers, it was crucial to test both teenage drivers and adults to determine head-on collision avoidance abilities when subjected to a failing autopilot in a simulated autonomous vehicle. In this study, eight teenagers ages 16-19 and four experienced adults underwent four simulated drives (one manual practice drive and three simulated autonomous drives) using a hi-fidelity, Real Time Technologies SimDriver Simulator to represent being in a self-driving vehicle. When exposed to a head-on crash event where the opposing vehicle crosses the dividing line and drives towards the subject, most subjects successfully swerved to avoid the car albeit with several oscillations before stabilization.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Eric Henry, a Burlington entrepreneur, was facing a dilemma. As the founder of a T-shirt company named TS Designs, he was seeing reduced demand for his shirts due to the pandemic, and he had years' worth of inventory clogging up his space. He spoke with his close manufacturing partner Lori Trotter of Trotters Sewing Company, and she came up with an idea that ended up making them about $250,000 in revenue. Trotters Sewing Company in Asheboro is a master of market diversification. The umbrella of products they sew covers the furniture, bedding, pet, military, and medical industry. Henry first approached them to brainstorm ideas for what to do with his overflowing inventory of T-shirts. His original idea was to turn them into grab bags, but Trotter had noticed the demand for PPE and asked: What if we made them into masks instead?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Local Journalism - What is Thanksgiving to Indigenous people? 'A day of mourning'</image:title>
      <image:caption>How do Indigenous people spend Thanksgiving? For many, rather than a celebration of peace and shared prosperity between Native Americans and Pilgrims, Thanksgiving represents the dark shadow of genocide and the resilience of Native people. Every tribe and every individual may have a different way of spending Thanksgiving. Some will gather with their families and share a meal, exchanging prayers and stories from the rich oral history of Native Americans. Others will fast for the entire day. For tribal citizen Dennis W. Zotigh, Thanksgiving is "a day of mourning." Zotigh is a member of the Kiowa Gourd Clan and Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo Winter Clan, and a descendant of Sitting Bear and No Retreat, both principal war chiefs of the Kiowas.  "To most Natives, Thanksgiving is not a celebration," Zotigh says. "Natives, particularly in the New England area, remember this attempted genocide as a factual part of their history and are reminded each year during the modern Thanksgiving."</image:caption>
