Well, fans of basketball and the NBA may be wondering, “Whatever happened to Jeremy Lin?” Can you believe it was seven years ago when he burst onto the scene? Such a burst it was—given its own name, “Linsanity,” and a movie was even made about it. For those of you who may not be aware or need some refreshing, well, Lin’s rise- to-basketball story is nothing less than extraordinary. He went unnoticed in high school and, then again, after college, getting passed over in the NBA draft, and that’s where most NBA stars sign million-dollar contracts. But Lin never gave up, eventually signing with—but then released by—two NBA teams. [He] was on the cusp of being released again, but due to injury to a star player, Lin led the Knicks to victory with [over] New Jersey with 25 points, five rebounds and seven assists—all career highs. Then, the very next game: 28 points. A few days later: 23 points, 10 assists. And then, February 10, a career-high—yep, it was a new one for him—38 points. All wins for the Knicks, who needed them badly. Linsanity was born. Indeed, no player had ever scored more points in his first five starts than Jeremy Lin. In just 26 games with the New York Knicks—before ending the season early with a knee injury—he had captured global headlines. Quite simply, he was the story of the NBA. Well, Lin’s story has another level of uniqueness to it. He was the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA and one of the few Asian-Americans to ever do so. But over the next nine NBA seasons and eight different teams, Lin was never able to match that Linsanity level. His scoring and assist numbers would pretty much be in steady decline. Just this past season, however, he was traded to the Toronto Raptors, where he would become the first Asian-American to win an NBA title. You’d think that winning that crown would be a boost for any player, but in a candid speech recently on [a] tour of Asia, the 30-year-old, who hardly had any court time with the Raptors, felt like he didn’t deserve a title. Now, he’s looking for a new team but has no offers. JEREMY LIN, BASKETBALL PLAYER In English, there’s a saying, and it says, “Once you hit rock bottom, the only way is up,” but rock bottom—[it] just seems to keep getting more and more rock bottom for me. And I came into the NBA—a young, brash kid who thought, “I was gonna take over the world.” Nowadays, I spend more time thinking about quitting. KATE RILEY, CNN ANCHOR And sure, you … he may have made millions of dollars, but you can’t help but feel for the guy. Kudos for revealing a side of a big-name athlete we rarely see. CNN主播 凱特．萊麗 歡迎回來。籃球和NBA的愛好者也許在納悶：「林書豪到底怎麼了？」你能相信他嶄露頭角是七年前的事了嗎？當時氣氛之火熱，還被取了個專有名稱「林來瘋」，甚至拍了一部關於這件事的電影。 各位如果有人不曉得，或是需要複習一下的話，林書豪在籃壇崛起的故事可是相當不簡單。他在高中沒受到注意，後來大學畢業後也是如此，在NBA選秀會中被忽視，而選秀會是多數NBA明星球員簽下百萬美元合約的機會。 但林書豪不曾放棄，終於陸續和兩支NBA球隊簽約，但接著也都被釋出。他原本又即將遭到釋出，但因為一位明星球員受傷，林書豪帶領尼克隊擊敗紐澤西隊，拿下二十五分、五個籃板和七次助攻——全都是生涯新高。緊接著下一場比賽：二十八分。幾天後：二十三分、十次助攻。接著，在二月十日又創下生涯最高的三十八分——沒錯，那是他的新高。這幾場比賽尼克隊都贏了，該隊正迫切需要這些勝場。林來瘋誕生了。 確實，沒有球員在頭五場先發比賽中的得分比林書豪多。代表紐約尼克隊僅出賽二十六場即因膝蓋受傷導致球季提早報銷的他，成了全球新聞頭條的焦點。很簡單，他成了NBA的代表故事。 林書豪的故事還有另一層面的獨特性。他是第一位進入NBA打球的中裔或台裔美國人，也是史上極少數做到這一點的亞裔美國人其中之一。但在接下來的九個NBA球季，歷經八支不同球隊，林書豪卻未能再達到林來瘋那時的水準。他的得分與助攻數可以說是每況愈下。 不過就在剛結束的這一季，他被交易到多倫多暴龍隊，在那裡成為首位贏得NBA總冠軍的亞裔美國人。你可能會認為贏得冠軍對於任何一名球員而言都會是一大助力，但最近在亞洲巡迴中一場開誠布公的演說上，這位在暴龍隊幾乎沒有獲得任何上場時間的三十歲球員卻覺得自己不配得到冠軍。現在，他在找新東家，卻沒有收到任何出價。 籃球員 林書豪 英語裡有一句俗語是這麼說的：「當你跌到谷底，唯一的路就是往上，」可是對我來說，谷底卻彷彿愈來愈深。 我當初進NBA時是個厚顏魯莽的年輕小子，想著：「我要稱霸世界。」現在，更多時候我心裡想的卻是放棄。 CNN主播 凱特．萊麗 當然，你……他也許賺了數百萬美元，但還是忍不住替他感到難過。值得讚許的是，他展露了一位大咖運動員我們極少看見的一面。

One of their most adoring fans [is] North Korea’s usually stoic supreme leader, who was caught on camera leading the applause, even though he’s banned his own people from listening to the same songs. Kim Jong Un and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, once a singer herself, greeted the band offstage. But now, there’s growing evidence this kind of music, called K-pop, is becoming a threat to the dictator’s regime. A recent survey by South Korea’s Unification Media Group says more and more defectors now cite music as a key factor in how they became disenchanted with their government. KIM SUK-YOUNG, AUTHOR, “ILLUSIVE UTOPIA: THEATER, FILM AND EVERYDAY PERFORMANCE IN NORTH KOREA” [The] North Korean young generation find many creative ways to access foreign media. Especially South Korean pop culture has been phenomenally popular in North Korea for the past 20 years, and it’s really starting to impact the way they conceive the world as well as to reflect upon their own lives in North Korea. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT North Korea’s first couple are such fans of that style of music themselves that they have their own girl band: Moranbong—Kim Jong Un’s handpicked troupe of young women in tight dresses—who sing Korean pop songs and tributes to their boss. But one defector says that’s about the extent to which young North Koreans are allowed to consume pop music. KANG NA RA, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR (VIA INTERPRETER) North Korea is such a tightly-controlled society, and the style you can follow is very limited. Ri Sol Ju or Moranbong band members are our only permitted role models. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT Kim’s regime forbids the influx of any foreign media content unless it’s heavily censored, but still, it gets in. Hyun Lee defected from North Korea five years ago. The son of a top financial official for Kim’s regime, Lee had access to South Korean K-pop, which was smuggled in by friends, while he lived in North Korea. He says any young North Korean hearing South Korean K-pop for the first time is struck by the difference. What does that music have that their music does not have? HYUN LEE, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR So, North Korean music doesn’t have any emotion and [or] feeling[s] of love and then, their freedom of society, but South Korean music emphasizes emotion [and] love. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT Hyun Lee says the tide of K-pop is so enormous and the black market for the music and videos is so strong, even young people still inside North Korea know about “Gangnam Style,” the song by the artist PSY that was the first YouTube video ever to reach a billion views. But it’s a tide Kim Jong Un is trying to hold back. Analysts say North Korea’s crackdown on the consumption of K-pop by its citizens has intensified under Kim. Defectors say there’s a feared unit of Kim’s security services called Group 109—a roving group of operatives searching for banned CDs and USB drives. HYUN LEE, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR They basically do search your body and search your home at any time, at everywhere. Once [a] North Korean’s caught by 109, so the seria [serious] punishment was [is] execution. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT It’s not just listening to K-pop that can get the average young North Korean in trouble. One young defector told the Washington Post that after seeing some K-pop videos, she wanted to emulate their clothing style. She put on a pair of jeans, she said, and went to a local market. She said authorities there made her take the jeans off right there, and they burned them right in front of her. CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 這是個出人意料，且對許多北韓人來說很刺眼的景象：一支在南韓和全球各地都大受歡迎，名為Red Velvet的樂團，受邀於二○一八年春天在平壤的一群菁英觀眾面前表演。其中一個對他們最為傾心的粉絲就是通常不苟言笑的北韓最高領導人，鏡頭捕捉到他帶領大家鼓掌，不過他卻禁止自己的人民聽相同的歌曲。 金正恩和他的妻子李雪主在表演結束後接見了該樂團，李雪主本人曾是名歌手。但是現在有愈來愈多證據顯示，這一類稱作韓國流行音樂的音樂，對這位獨裁者的政權而言漸漸成為一項威脅。 日前一項由南韓的統一媒體集團所進行的調查指出，現在有愈來愈多的脫北者說音樂是他們對政府感到幻滅的一個關鍵因素。 《飄渺的烏托邦：北韓的戲劇、電影和日常表演》作者 金淑雲（音譯） 北韓的年輕一代找到很多有創意的方法接觸外國媒體。過去二十年來，南韓流行文化在北韓受歡迎得不得了，而這確實已經開始影響北韓人對這個世界的認知，以及反思他們自己在北韓的生活。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 北韓的第一夫妻本身是那類音樂的熱衷粉絲，因此他們組了自有的女子樂團：牡丹峰，也就是金正恩精挑細選、穿著緊身洋裝的少女團體，唱著韓國流行歌曲和對他們老闆的頌歌。但是有位脫北者說，那差不多就是北韓年輕人被允許消費流行音樂的限度了。 脫北者 姜娜拉（音譯）（經由口譯） 北韓是個受到如此嚴格控制的社會，你能夠追隨的風潮非常有限。李雪主或牡丹峰樂團的成員是我們唯一被允許追隨的模範。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 金正恩政權禁止任何外國媒體內容流入，除非經過嚴格審查，但還是滲透進去了。李賢（音譯）在五年前脫北。李賢是金正恩政權下的財政高官之子，他住在北韓時，經由朋友偷偷帶入而得以接觸南韓流行音樂。他說任何第一次聽到南韓流行音樂的北韓年輕人，都會因當中的差異而感到震驚。 那種音樂中有什麼是他們的音樂所沒有的呢？ 脫北者 李賢（音譯） 北韓的音樂不帶任何情感或愛的感覺，再來，也沒有社會的自由，反觀南韓的音樂重視情感和愛。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 李賢說韓國流行音樂的浪潮是如此巨大，加上這種音樂和影片的黑市需求是如此強勁，就連仍在北韓境內的年輕人都知道〈江南風格〉，那首由藝人PSY演唱的歌曲是史上首支達十億次點閱的YouTube影片。但這是股金正恩正設法壓制的浪潮。 分析師指出，在金正恩政權下，北韓對其人民消費韓國流行音樂的取締增強了。脫北者說，金正恩有個令人喪膽、叫作一○九小隊的安全勤務單位，那是一個機動式的行動小組，專門搜尋遭禁的CD和隨身碟。 脫北者 李賢（音譯） 基本上他們會隨時隨地搜你身和到你家翻箱倒櫃。一旦有北韓人被一○九小隊抓到，嚴重的懲罰是處決。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 會讓北韓一般年輕人惹禍上身的不是只有聽南韓流行音樂而已。一名年輕的脫北者告訴《華盛頓郵報》，她在看過一些韓國流行音樂的影片之後，想要仿效他們的穿著風格。她說她穿上一條牛仔褲去到當地的一個市場。她說地方當局逼她當場脫掉牛仔褲，然後當她的面把褲子給燒了。

How big is the network they have to run on? Well, it’s not. Verizon has 5G available in several U.S. cities, and AT&T, which owns CNN’s parent company WarnerMedia, says it’s launched 5G in more than a dozen places. Industry analysts expect 5G to be available in 92 American cities by the end of the year. And as far as 5G readiness goes, a group that represents the American wireless industry says the U.S. and China are now tied for first place, and services are also available in several South Korean cities. But why are tech enthusiasts so excited about this? Why does it matter? According to the [a] cellular technology industry association, 5G is gonna be a major factor in the U.S. economy— changing education, robotics and medicine. CNN NARRATOR Self-driving cars, smart cities, fully-connected homes [and] robots—this is the future, and it’ll be powered by 5G. The G stands for generation as in next-generation wireless network, and it’s going to be fast—about 10 times faster than the 4G network on your phone right now. Today, it takes about six minutes to download a 3D movie in [with] 4G. With 5G, it’ll be 30 seconds, but 5G is about more than just superfast downloads and fewer dropped calls. [It’s] really about connecting the internet of things—all those sensors, thermostats, cars [and] robots. Right now, 4G just doesn’t have the bandwidth for all those devices, but 5G will. That’s why it’s a game changer. Imagine self-driving cars instantly communicating with traffic lights and other cars, or a surgeon with VR equipment and special gloves operating remotely on a patient thousands of miles away. 5G will make that possible, but when? 2020 is a working date for most of the wireless industry. Four nationwide carriers are already testing the technology. Chipmakers are building processors and radios for 5G communication, and network equipment companies are building the backbone. But the future won’t come cheap. 5G signals are powerful, but they don’t reach as far. Making it work will require thousands, maybe even millions, of mini cell phone towers, pretty much everywhere you can imagine: lampposts, the side of every building, maybe even in every room of your home. That’s why rolling out 5G to the entire United States could cost $300 billion. 《CNN十分鐘新聞》 卡爾．阿祖茲 摩托羅拉提供了一項修改，讓該公司的其中一款手機具有5G相容性，而三星也計畫在今年夏季推出一款新的5G手機。這些手機必須使用的網路涵蓋範圍有多大呢？這個嘛，不怎麼大。Verizon在美國幾座城市推出了5G網路，而擁有CNN母公司華納媒體的AT&T表示，他們已在超過十二個地方啟用5G了。 產業分析師預期在今年年底前，5G就會在美國九十二座城市上線。就5G的就緒程度而言，一個代表美國無線通訊產業的團體指出，美國與中國目前並列第一，南韓有幾座城市也已有5G服務。 不過，為什麼科技狂人對這件事這麼興奮呢？這件事為什麼重要？根據一個行動通訊技術產業協會的說法，5G將會是美國經濟中一項重要的因子──為教育、機器人技術與醫學帶來改變。 CNN旁白 自動駕駛汽車、智慧城市、全面連線的住宅以及機器人──這就是未來，而這都將由5G驅動。G指的是次世代無線網路中的「世代」，而且5G的速度將會非常快──比你的手機目前使用的4G網路快上約十倍。 現今用4G網路下載一部3D電影需要六分鐘左右的時間。有了5G，將會是三十秒，不過5G的重點不只在於超快的下載速度與減少電話斷訊。5G真正的重點在於連接物聯網──那所有的感應器、恆溫器、汽車以及機器人。目前的4G頻寬不夠供那所有裝置使用，但5G會夠。那就是為什麼這是一項改變遊戲規則的技術。 想像自動駕駛車輛能即時與交通號誌和其他車輛溝通，或是外科醫師利用虛擬實境設備及特殊手套對人在數千英里以外的病患進行遠距手術。5G將可使那得以實現，但什麼時候呢？ 二○二○年是多數無線通訊業者暫定的時間。四家全國性的電信業者已在測試這項科技。晶片製造商正在打造用於5G通訊的處理器與無線電設備，而網路設備公司則是在建設骨幹。 不過，這個未來可不便宜。5G訊號很強，但傳播距離沒那麼遠。要讓5G運作將會需要數以千計，或許甚至數以百萬計的迷你手機基地台，幾乎遍布於你想像得到的所有地方：路燈、每一棟建築的側牆，甚至可能是你家裡的每個房間。這就是為什麼在全美推出5G的成本可能要三千億美元。

Book Description
With about half of the U.S. population expected to be obese by 2030 and one out of six Americans getting sick every year, why is the Food and Drug Administration spending years trying to figure out if almond milk should be called “milk”? As a twenty-seven-year veteran of the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Nutrition, Dr. Richard A. Williams poses this question. Dr. Williams also questions the accuracy of more than thirty years of food labeling, coupled with consumer education on diet/disease relationships and failed attempts to get consumers to track intakes. It is time for the American people to look elsewhere for solutions, rather than relying on the FDA. Fixing Food takes you inside the FDA and explores the inner workings that drove failed strategies. Following his tenure at the FDA, Dr. Williams spent more than a decade investigating new sciences—including genetic and microbial sciences—that are leading to innovative foods and products. With one of the greatest public health crises in American history ongoing, this research aims to solve our issues with food—once and for all. In this book, you will learn: • How FDA controls Congress, the Courts, and the Executive Branch and others who might be a threat to their resources and growth of power • How the FDA misuses risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis • How the FDA’s most recent innovation to keep food safe is fifty years old • Why food labeling has been a disaster • How entrepreneurs are remaking foods to be safer and healthier • How new medical devices will ultimately make nutrition as easy as using a cell phone • How trying to educate consumers through food labeling has been a public health disaster Ultimately, the role of the FDA in the new world of food safety and nutrition must change if the agency is to stay relevant.

Book Description
More and more people have turned to Marxian economics in recent years. But isn’t it a defunct branch of the ‘dismal science’, disproven by the experience of the past 150 years, of no interest to anyone except historians? In this book, David Ruccio demonstrates why the answer to that question is a resounding ‘no’. He offers a clear and accessible introduction to the basic concepts and theoretical strategies of Marxian economics, its key differences from mainstream economics, and its many applications to the real world. Focusing on Marx’s critique of both mainstream economic theory and capitalism, Ruccio extends that analysis to contemporary topics—from inequality and economic crises to racial capitalism and the climate crisis—and outlines the key debates among Marxian economists. He concludes with a discussion of the ways Marxian economists today think about the possibility of moving beyond capitalism. The book is suitable for students and professors, as well as readers outside the academy interested in learning about Marxian economics. It will be useful both as a stand-alone text and as a companion to reading Capital.

Book Description
This book asks what distinguishes peaceful plural democracies from violent ones and what distinguishes violent ethnic groups from peaceful ones within the same democracy. Contrary to conventional wisdom, it suggests that ethnic groups and their political demands are not inherently intransigent and that violence is not a necessary corollary of ethnic politics. The book posits that ethnic identity serves as a stable but flexible information shortcut for political choices, influencing party formation and development in new and maturing democracies. It furthermore argues that political intransigence and violence expressed by some ethnic groups stem from circumstances exogenous to ethnic affiliations. In particular, absolute restrictions on ethnic access to the executive produce conditions under which ethnic group incentive to participate in peaceful electoral politics is eliminated. A number of case studies and statistical analysis of all electoral democracies since 1945 are used to test and support the formal argument.
