Have you ever wondered why The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy and other seemingly secular shows tend to have so much to say about religion? 
Or how does the religiosity of Ned Flanders and the feminist sensibilities of Lisa Simpson work together to offer critical commentary on religion and gender in the U.S.?
Are these animated characters, among others, really sites of struggle among political, economic, social and religious forces?
Register today for Religion and Rhetoric in American offered online during Winter Session (Jan 2- Jan 17) and learn how analyzing such questions can lead to a better understanding of how religion functions rhetorically in America using animated television shows as a case-study.
This web/online course investigates the religious dimensions of the longest-running sitcom in America, The Simpsons. Students will learn how signs and symbols influence us through a process called rhetoric.
As they become ‘Simpsonologists’, students will watch and examine various episodes paying special attention to the ways in which The Simpsons and other animated shows functions as rhetorical religious satire and formulates arguments in public and political discourse, especially at the intersection of race, citizenship and national identity.

There are only a few days left until Netflix’s smash hit series Squid Game returns for season 2, but if the wait is killing you, Google has a fun distraction to tide you over.
Netflix and Google recently debuted a browser-based version of the shocking Red Light, Green Light game from the first season of Squid Game. Go to Google and search “Squid Game,” then click on the invitation letter that pops up at the bottom of the screen.
The game will proceed to take over the entire screen as the murderous animatronic doll Young-hee, flanked by two guards, watches over six contestants. You will need your sound for this one, as every time Young-hee turns away and starts singing, you can press the blue “O” to make the contestants move forward. When the doll stops singing and turns to face you, press the red “X” to make the contestants stop. If you fail to do so in time, you’ll lose a person.

If you manage to make it to the finish line with at least one survivor, you’ll be rewarded with the piggy bank from the show and a shower of confetti.

WEST VIRGINIA (LOOTPRESS) – As winter sets in, the Mega Millions® jackpot is heating up, reaching an estimated $825 million for the drawing on Friday, December 20.
The cash option for the prize is $382.2 million. If won, this would be the largest December jackpot in the game’s history and the seventh-largest overall.
The jackpot has been rolling since it was last won on September 10 in Texas at $810 million. In the 28 drawings since then, nearly 19.4 million tickets have won non-jackpot prizes, including 51 second-tier prizes worth $1 million or more across 21 states.
The most recent drawing on December 17 produced 1,602,721 winning tickets at all prize levels. Five tickets matched five white balls for the second-tier prize.
One North Carolina ticket included the optional Megaplier, boosting its value to $4 million. Other second-tier winners hailed from California, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
Third-tier prizes of $10,000 were awarded to 55 tickets, with 17 boosted to $40,000 via the Megaplier. California prizes vary due to the state’s pari-mutuel prize structure.
Mega Millions has seen only three jackpots won this year, the fewest in a single year since its 2002 inception. The largest 2023 jackpot, $1.128 billion, was won in New Jersey on March 26 but remains unclaimed.
Mega Millions is the only lottery to have six jackpots surpassing $1 billion, with record-setting prizes won in states including South Carolina, Michigan, Illinois, and Florida.
Tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands for $2 each, with an optional $1 Megaplier to boost non-jackpot winnings.
Drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. ET in Atlanta, Georgia. While the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24, the odds of winning the jackpot stand at 1 in 302.6 million.

Hospitals from China will be partaking in existing research in Singapore that aims to develop precise and personalised solutions to early detect and manage symptoms of cardiovascular diseases specific to the Asian population. 
Early this month, Kailuan General Hospital, Tianjin Medical University, and Tianjin Medical University General Hospital signed a memorandum of understanding to join the National University of Singapore Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine’s (NUS Medicine) Project RESET. 
WHAT IT’S ABOUT
The new Project RESET Parallel Cohort will particularly focus on subclinical cardiovascular diseases (SCVD), or asymptomatic conditions associated with higher risk of cardiovascular diseases that have become a growing concern among Asian populations. Tianjin Medical University reportedly has expertise in this research area. 
The four organisations will study data from a diverse, multi-ethnic cohort of Asians using multi-omics and big data to discover molecular, metabolic, and immunological markers of heart diseases. Besides filling gaps in the research of SCVD, their study will also contribute to developing “precise, personalised prevention and management strategies for cardiovascular conditions.”
Additionally, the organisations will conduct trials to test the effectiveness of AI and digital health interventions for detecting and treating cardiovascular conditions.
THE LARGER TREND
NUS Medicine launched the Project RESET in September last year. The five-year research project, funded by the Singaporean government, initially sought to track heart disease symptoms that go undetected in the majority of Singaporean people. At least 3 million individuals or half of the island city-state’s population unknowingly have heart disease. Up to 80% of healthy individuals are reportedly unaware of the abnormal calcium build-up in their arteries while around four in 10 have fatty liver, which is also a key sign of heart disease.  
Project RESET then aims to discover new biomarkers of early heart disease; it also intends to pilot new methods and approaches to prevent the onset of cardiovascular diseases. 
Other national and private initiatives in Singapore are building big databases representing the diversity of the Asian population, contributing to precision medicine. The SG100K project, led by the government’s Precision Health Research, is analysing big data – sequencing genomes of a hundred thousand individuals – to better understand various factors contributing to non-communicable diseases relevant to Asians. Private startup Mesh Bio has established a big multi-omics dataset that assists in generating insights into metabolic conditions related to the Asian population. 
Outside Singapore, India has also embarked on a population-wide initiative, led by the Indian Council of Medical Research, to collect and curate volumes of medical images representing the Indian people to support AI development. In September, the first comprehensive multi-omics database on cancer was also launched in India after fifteen years. The Indian Cancer Genome Atlas now provides initial access to clinically annotated data on DNA, RNA, and protein profiles of breast cancer patients.

BALTIMORE — More than $7 million in federal funding will help strengthen security at 50 churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious community centers across Maryland, Maryland lawmakers announced on Thursday.
More than 25 of those places of worship are in the Baltimore area.
Baltimore Area – $4,050,000
National Capital Region – $2,239,850        
Western Maryland – $968,500
Southern Maryland – $135,000
According to state leaders, the funding is provided through the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which helps high-risk nonprofits, including faith-based institutions, obtain the resources required to support and integrate preparedness activities with broader state and local efforts. 
“Religious freedom is protected under our Constitution, and every Marylander must be able to worship without fear for their safety,” Maryland lawmakers said in a joint statement. “With threats and attacks against faith communities on the rise, we must not only speak out against those hateful actions – we also must invest in protecting these institutions that support communities across our state. Maryland families can trust that these federal grants will help ensure houses of worship have the resources they need to keep them safe.”
