Susan Leigh Vaughan Smith (born September 26, 1971) is an American convict who was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving 30 years for murdering her two children, three-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander. The case gained international attention because of Smith's false claim that an African-American man had kidnapped her sons during a carjacking. Her defense attorneys, David Bruck and Judy Clarke, called expert witnesses to testify that she suffered from mental health issues that impaired her judgment when she committed the crimes.

The 2016 United States presidential election was the 58th quadrennial American presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. The Republican ticket of businessman Donald Trump and Indiana Governor Mike Pence defeated the Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine, despite losing the popular vote. Trump took office as the 45th president, and Pence as the 48th vice president, on January 20, 2017. Trump emerged as the front-runner amidst a wide field of Republican primary candidates, while Clinton defeated Senator Bernie Sanders and became the first female presidential nominee of a major American party. Trump's populist, nationalist campaign, which promised to "Make America Great Again" and opposed political correctness, illegal immigration, and many free-trade agreements, garnered extensive free media coverage. Clinton emphasized her extensive political experience, denounced Trump and many of his supporters as bigots, and advocated the expansion of President Obama's policies; racial, LGBT, and women's rights; and "inclusive capitalism". The tone of the general election campaign was widely characterized as divisive and negative. Trump faced controversy over his views on race and immigration, incidents of violence against protestors at his rallies, and his alleged sexual misconduct, while Clinton's campaign was undermined by declining approval ratings and an FBI investigation of her improper use of a private email server. Clinton had held the lead in nearly every pre-election nationwide poll and in most swing state polls, leading some commentators to compare Trump's victory to that of Harry S. Truman in 1948 as one of the greatest political upsets in modern U.S. history. While Clinton received 2.87 million more votes nationwide (the largest margin ever for a candidate who lost the electoral college), a margin of 2.1%, Trump won a majority of electoral votes, with a total of 306 electors from 30 states, including upset victories in the pivotal Rust Belt region. Ultimately, Trump received 304 electoral votes and Clinton garnered 227, as two faithless electors defected from Trump and five defected from Clinton. Trump is the fifth person in U.S. history to become president while losing the nationwide popular vote. He is the first president without any prior experience in public service or the military, the oldest at inauguration and is also the wealthiest. Trump flipped six statewide races from the 2012 election, those being Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In addition, he also gained one electoral vote in Maine due to the state's split allocation between the two congressional districts. The United States government's intelligence agencies falsely concluded on January 6, 2017, that the Russian government had interfered in the elections in order to "undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency". President Trump repeatedly criticized these conclusions, calling the issue a "hoax" and "fake news". Trump has also criticized accusations of collusion between Russia and his campaign, citing a lack of evidence. Investigations regarding such collusion were started by the FBI, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and the House Intelligence Committee. The Special Counsel investigation began in May 2017 and concluded in March 2019. A redacted version of the report, released in April 2019, concluded that Russian interference, to favor Trump's candidacy and hinder Clinton's, occurred "in sweeping and systematic fashion" via a social media campaign and computer hacking. The prevailing evidence, which was not necessarily complete, "did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government".

In mathematics, particularly in category theory, a morphism is a structure-preserving map from one mathematical structure to another one of the same type. The notion of morphism recurs in much of contemporary mathematics. In set theory, morphisms are functions; in linear algebra, linear transformations; in group theory, group homomorphisms; in topology, continuous functions, and so on. In category theory, morphism is a broadly similar idea: the mathematical objects involved need not be sets, and the relationships between them may be something other than maps, although the morphisms between the objects of a given category have to behave similarly to maps in that they have to admit an associative operation similar to function composition. A morphism in category theory is an abstraction of a homeomorphism. The study of morphisms and of the structures (called "objects") over which they are defined is central to category theory. Much of the terminology of morphisms, as well as the intuition underlying them, comes from concrete categories, where the objects are simply sets with some additional structure, and morphisms are structure-preserving functions. In category theory, morphisms are sometimes also called arrows.

Re-education camps (Uyghur: قايتا تەربىيەلەش لاگېرلىرى‎, ULY: Qayta terbiyelesh lagérliri, USY: Қайта тәрбийәләш лагерлири, [qɑjtɑ tærbijælæʃ lɑɡɛrliri]; Chinese: 再教育营; pinyin: zàijiàoyùyíng) is a title given to the concentration camps interning Muslims operated by the People's Republic of China Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Regional government since 2014. They have significantly intensified since a hardline party secretary, Chen Quanguo, took charge of the region in August 2016. These camps are reportedly operated outside of the legal system; many Uyghurs have been interned without any trial or charges being levied. Local authorities are reportedly holding hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs and Muslims from other ethnic minorities in these camps, for the stated purpose of countering extremism and terrorism. As of 2018, it is estimated that the Chinese authorities may have detained hundreds of thousands to millions of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Hui (Muslims) as well as other ethnic Turkic Muslims, Christians and also some foreign citizens such as Kazakhstanis, whom are kept in these secretive internment camps throughout the region. The United Nations and many international media reports have stated that more than 1 million people have been held in such "re-education camps" in recent years. In 2018, the Pentagon of United States claimed up to 3 million could be imprisoned in detention centers and accused China of putting minority Muslims in concentration camps, in some of the strongest U.S. condemnation to date. On October 24, 2018, the BBC released the details of an extensive investigation into China's hidden concentration camps and the extent to which the People's Republic goes to maintain what it calls "correct thought". US-based journals like the Foreign Policy Journal and Center for World Indigenous Studies have labeled these policies as "cultural genocide". Some parties refer to these camps as "concentration camps". The Times of Israel wrote a piece comparing these vocational camps to the USA's Japanese-American concentration camps during World War II as well as the British Palestine internment camps for Jews. The European Union and Turkey was invited by China to visit Xinjiang to examine the situation themselves. The EU declined initially, worrying that the tour might be “choreographed” by the Chinese government, but was open to visit at a later time. In July 2019, the United Nation ambassadors from 22 nations, including Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany and Japan, signed a letter condemning China’s treatment of Uyghurs as well as other minority groups, urging the Chinese government to close the camps. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia and Russia among 37 other states backing China's policy in Xinjiang. The crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, has applauded China for its public safety and counter-terrorism measures, saying that it has a "right to fight terrorism."
