US stocks surge to records, shrugging off upheaval in South Korea, FranceNoneDavid Perry, a longtime urban planner and Chicago professor who focused on strengthening cities and making urban spaces serve residents, has died at age 82. He died Dec. 2 at home following a long illness, according to his family. Mr. Perry was the director of the Great Cities Institute at the University of Illinois Chicago for nearly 12 years. He was also an urban planning and policy professor at UIC and served as associate chancellor for the Great Cities Commitment. He retired from the university in 2018. He also served on several public projects, including Chicago’s Zoning Reform Commission, the Urban Land Institute’s National Public Infrastructure Committee and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Judith Kossy, his wife of 20 years, told the Sun-Times Mr. Perry had a “profound sense of social justice” and his guiding philosophy was to “live your values.” He was also curious and eager to learn from his students, Kossy said. “David was never the professor who behaved like the font of all wisdom,” she said. “Rather, he treated his students as peers and joined them in exploring key questions, ‘What’s different here, and how does it affect our thinking about cities and the people who live there?’” He championed engaged research, Kossy said. Whenever he would go into a community to research them, he would treat the people he studied as a partner and would share his findings with them to help address the problems facing their community. Mr. Perry wrote and edited over a dozen books and over 150 articles that focused on economic development, race, politics, urban violence, public infrastructure, urban space and the role of universities and community foundations in American cities. Integrating universities with the surrounding community was especially a passion for Mr. Perry. In 2014, he delivered a guest lecture at the University of Washington in Tacoma in which he asserted that “universities need to be community-based organizations.” He pointed to the once-neglected section of the Loop that was transformed into a hub for higher education, including DePaul’s downtown campus, Columbia College and Roosevelt University. “The academic corridor is no longer the desolate hole in the downtown doughnut. It’s a new anchor of Chicago’s development in the Loop,” Mr. Perry said. “It’s a 24/7 educational corridor with clusters in the knowledge economy.” Mr. Perry earned his doctoral degree from Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He taught in the government department at the University of Texas at Austin and chaired the urban planning program at SUNY Buffalo. He was also a senior faculty fellow of New York’s Rockefeller Institute and held joint appointments as professor of Public Administration and professor of Political Science at UIC. Aside from his work, Mr. Perry’s joys were his family and friends, music, skiing and traveling. In addition to Kossy, he is survived by his sons, Clayton Perry and Evan Perry; his daughters-in-law, Jamie Perry and Veronica Perry; and four grandchildren, Sam, Jack, Colin and Dillon.download jiliko 。

If you value our coverage and want to support more of it, please join us as a member . Something striking happens when we lose a loved one. A common item, like a toy or even a pair of keys, suddenly becomes imbued with a spiritual meaning that reminds us of the life energy of the person we’ve lost. For example, Chinese funerals often include paper recreations of ordinary objects, and keys and coins were found in a 1,500-year-old grave in Germany . The Origin of Savage Beauty , a solo show by Malaysian artist Anne Samat at Marc Straus Gallery’s new location in Tribeca, springs from a place of loss. At first glance, her grand installations resemble woven, brightly colored altars. Samat borrows from traditional weaving techniques of the Iban people in the Sarawak state in Malaysia. But a closer look reveals toy soldiers, rake heads, and plastic keychains, along with swords with plastic handles — and there’s even a plastic bra holder. All of these things have meaning behind them. In “Never Walk in Anyone’s Shadow #2” (2024), the centerpiece installation, Samat has constructed a memorial to three late family members — her sister, brother, and mother. The work’s title comes from the words of her brother, who encouraged her to find her unique voice as an artist. Get the latest art news, reviews and opinions from Hyperallergic. Daily Weekly Opportunities Samat was at the gallery during my visit. She pointed to a no smoking sign and explained: “I pick up a certain characteristic of [the person who’s passed]. For instance, my brother was such a heavy smoker. And that’s the reason why he passed away. But we’re not talking bad about him.” She gestures toward a hub cap. “He loved cars very much. He was crazy about cars. Look at this! I immortalized that certain characteristic of these people to build the figure.” Having recently relocated from Kuala Lumpur to New York, Samat sources materials locally; this in turn inspired the exhibition’s title: “Savage beauty means unconventional beauty. I consider this a very beautiful installation by using the unconventional material,” things she gathered from scrap yards and estate sales. Even without these stories, the artist’s work rewards a careful, close-up examination, where small surprises abound. In her Kalambi series, she creates ceremonial jackets made with coconut shells, spoons in the shape of hibiscus (the national flower of Malaysia), steel washers, and wooden beads. The jacket, she noted, is traditionally worn for battle, and it has served as a form of symbolic armor in her move to New York, a long-running dream that she finally realized. Through it all, Samat exhibits a curiosity, even a reverence, for the mundane. I asked her about the bra hanger that appears in “Freedom 2... to Love” (2017), a self portrait. She initially didn’t know what it was for, so she asked the elder woman who was selling it. “It’s beautiful, right? It deserves a second chance. It deserves to be out there.” She points to the altars for her sister and mother, in which she uses the same object, connecting the three of them through it. “We can find it there on my sister. You can find it here on my mother. It’s everywhere now.” The Origin of Savage Beauty continues at Marc Straus Gallery (57 Walker Street, Tribeca , Manhattan) through December 21. The exhibition was organized by the gallery. We hope you enjoyed this article!

Electronic Arts Inc. stock underperforms Friday when compared to competitors

Pepperdine wins 86-76 over Northern Arizona

The abuse began when she was still an infant. A relative molested her, took photographs and swapped the images with others online. He allowed another man to spend time with her, multiplying the abuse. Nearly every day, the woman, now 27 and living in the Northeast, is reminded of that abuse with a law enforcement notice that someone has been charged with possessing those images. One of those notifications, which she received in late 2021, said the images had been found on a man's MacBook in Vermont. Her lawyer later confirmed with law enforcement that the images had also been stored in Apple 's iCloud . The notice arrived months after Apple had unveiled a tool that allowed it to scan for illegal images of sexual abuse. But it quickly abandoned that tool after facing criticism from cybersecurity experts, who said it could pave the way to other government surveillance requests. Now, the woman, using a pseudonym, is suing Apple because she says it broke its promise to protect victims like her. Instead of using the tools that it had created to identify, remove and report images of her abuse, the lawsuit says, Apple allowed that material to proliferate, forcing victims of child sexual abuse to relive the trauma that has shaped their lives. The lawsuit was filed late Saturday in U.S. District Court in Northern California. It says Apple's failures mean it has been selling defective products that harmed a class of customers, namely child sexual abuse victims, because it briefly introduced "a widely touted improved design aimed at protecting children" but "then failed to implement those designs or take any measures to detect and limit" child sexual abuse material.

Under law, victims of child sexual abuse are entitled to a minimum of $150,000 in damages, which means the total award, with the typical tripling of damages being sought, could exceed $1.2 billion should a jury find Apple liable.

And it points to increasing concern that the privacy of Apple's iCloud allows illegal material to be circulated without being as easily spotted as it would be on social media services such as Facebook. For years, Apple has reported less abusive material than its peers, capturing and reporting a small fraction of what is caught by Google and Facebook. It has defended its practice by saying it is protecting user privacy, but child safety groups have criticized it for not doing more to stop the spread of that material. The case is the latest example of an emerging legal strategy against tech companies. For decades, Section 230 of the Communications and Decency Act has shielded companies from legal liability for what users post on their platforms. But recent rulings by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit have determined that those shields can be applied only to content moderation and don't provide blanket liability protection. The rulings have raised hope among plaintiffs' attorneys that tech companies could be challenged in court. In August, a 9-year-old girl sued the company in North Carolina after strangers sent her child sexual abuse videos through iCloud links and encouraged her to film and upload her own nude videos. Apple filed a motion to dismiss the North Carolina case, saying Section 230 protects it from liability for material posted on iCloud by someone else. It also argued that iCloud couldn't be subject to a product liability claim because it wasn't a product, like a defective tire. In a statement in response to the new suit, Fred Sainz, an Apple spokesperson, said: "Child sexual abuse material is abhorrent and we are committed to fighting the ways predators put children at risk. We are urgently and actively innovating to combat these crimes without compromising the security and privacy of all our users." Sainz pointed to safety tools the company has introduced to curtail the spread of newly created illegal images, including features in its Messages app that warn children of nude content and allow people to report harmful material to Apple. Riana Pfefferkorn, a lawyer and policy fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, said there are significant hurdles to any lawsuit over Apple's policies on child sexual abuse material. She added that a victory for the plaintiffs could backfire because it could raise questions about whether the government is forcing Apple to scan for illegal material in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The New York Times granted anonymity to the 27-year-old woman suing Apple so she could tell her story. She spoke anonymously because people have been known to seek out victims and search for their child sexual abuse material on the internet. Her abuse started not long after she was born. An adult male family member would engage in sexual acts with her and photograph them. He was arrested after logging into a chat room and offering to swap photos of the girl with other men. He was found guilty of several felonies and sent to prison. What she could remember of the abuse came to her in bits and pieces. One night as her mother watched an episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" about child sexual abuse, the story seemed eerily familiar. She screamed and startled her mother, who realized that she thought that the episode was about her. "It's not just you," her mother told her. "There are thousands of other kids." As her images were found online, the authorities would notify her mother. They have commonly received a dozen or so notifications daily for more than a decade. What bothered her the most was knowing that pedophiles shared some of her photos with children to normalize abuse, a process called grooming. "It was hard to believe there were so many out there," she said. "They were not stopping." The internet turbocharged the spread of child sexual abuse material. Physical images that had once been hard to find and share became digital photos and videos that could be stored on computers and servers and shared easily. In 2009, Microsoft worked with Hany Farid, now a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, to create a software system to recognize photos, even altered ones, and compare them against a database of known illegal images. The system, called PhotoDNA, was adopted by a number of tech companies, including Google and Facebook. Apple declined to use PhotoDNA or do widespread scanning like its peers. The tech industry reported 36 million reports of photos and videos to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the federal clearinghouse for suspected sexual abuse material. Google and Facebook each filed more than 1 million reports, but Apple made just 267. In 2019, an investigation by the Times revealed that tech companies had failed to rein in abusive material. A bar graph the paper published detailing public companies' reporting practices led Eric Friedman, an Apple executive responsible for fraud protection, to message a senior colleague and say he thought the company may be underreporting child sexual abuse material. "We are the greatest platform for distributing child porn," said Friedman in the 2020 exchange. He said that was because Apple gave priority to privacy over trust and safety. A year later, Apple unveiled a system to scan for child sexual abuse. It said its iPhones would store a database of distinct digital signatures, which are known as hashes, that are associated with known child sexual abuse material identified by groups like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. It said it would compare those digital signatures against photos in a user's iCloud storage service. The technique, which it called NeuralHash, would flag matches and forward them to the federal clearinghouse of suspected sexual abuse material. But after cybersecurity experts warned that it would create a back door to iPhones that could give governments access, the company dropped its plan. It said it was almost impossible to scan iCloud photos without "imperiling the security and privacy of our users." Early this year, Sarah Gardner, the founder of a child advocacy group called the Heat Initiative, began searching for law firms with experience representing victims of child sexual abuse. In March, the Heat team asked Marsh Law, a 17-year-old firm that focuses on representing victims of child sexual abuse, if it could bring a suit against Apple. Heat offered to provide $75,000 to support what could be a costly litigation process. It was a strategy borrowed from other advocacy campaigns against companies. Margaret Mabie, a partner at Marsh Law, took on the case. The firm has represented thousands of victims of child sexual abuse. Mabie dug through law enforcement reports and other documents to find cases related to her clients' images and Apple's products, eventually building a list of more than 80 examples, including one of a Bay Area man whom law enforcement found with more than 2,000 illegal images and videos in iCloud. The 27-year-old woman from the Northeast, who is represented by Marsh, agreed to sue Apple because, she said, she believes that Apple gave victims of child sexual abuse false hope by introducing and abandoning its NeuralHash system. An iPhone user herself, she said the company chose privacy and profit over people. Joining the suit was a difficult decision, she said. Because her images have been downloaded by so many people, she lives in constant fear that someone might track her down and recognize her. And being publicly associated with a high-profile case could cause an uptick in trafficking of her images. But she said she had joined because she thought it was time for Apple to change. She said the company's inaction was heart-wrenching.

Teens' social media use — and its effect on their mental health — is often in the news, and new research from the Pew Research Center states that nearly half of American teens are "almost constantly" online. In its Teens, Social Media, and Technology 2024 study, released on Thursday, Pew stated that nearly half (46 percent) of today's teens aged 13 to 17 say they're online almost constantly. While this figure is consistent with 2022 and 2023 research, this is a 24 percent increase from a decade ago. Nearly all (96 percent) of teens say they go online daily, which is around how many (95 percent) have access to a smartphone. 46 percent of teens say they're online almost constantly. This report is based on a self-administered web survey of 1,391 U.S. teens and a parent per teen, conducted between September and October this year. Pew also broke down which platforms teens frequently visit, and how many said they're on them nearly constantly: 16 percent said they're "almost constantly" on TikTok, while 15 percent said the same about YouTube, 13 percent about Snapchat, 12 percent about Instagram, and three percent on Facebook. More teens say they go on these platforms once or more daily. Overall, 73 percent say they're on YouTube, teens' most frequented social media platform, at least once a day. Fifty-seven percent say they go on TikTok at least once a day, and around half go on Instagram and/or Snapchat once a day. Facebook is the least-visited, but rounds out the top five, with 20 percent of teens saying they go on at least once a day. How many teens frequently visit platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Pew found that more teen girls use Instagram and TikTok, while boys are more likely to say they use YouTube. Fewer teens use X (17 percent), Reddit (14 percent), and Threads (6 percent). This research comes amid scrutiny of social media platforms and how they impact teens. In October, the CDC confirmed there is a link between social media use and mental health struggles for teens, and Australia recently banned social media for children under 16 .
