Rick Porcello Dazzles with Seven Scoreless Innings as Red Sox Take Opener from Twins for Sixth Straight Win
After sweeping the lowly Baltimore Orioles over the weekend, the Red Sox kicked off the second leg of their two-city, six-game road trip on Monday by taking the first of three against the American League Central-leading Minnesota Twins in a tightly-contested 2-0 win, marking their sixth consecutive victory to improve to a season-best six games over .500 at 40-34.
Making his 15th start of the season for Boston was Rick Porcello, who entered Monday fresh off a quality outing in his last time out against the Texas Rangers as well as an impressive track record when working at Target Field.
Tossing seven full innings this time around, the right-hander held one of the top offensive clubs in the American League scoreless, scattering just four hits and one walk to go along with eight strikeouts on the night to tie a season-high.
It wasn't quite clear that Porcello would wind up putting together the dominant performance he did in this one, with Nelson Cruz ripping a two-out double off of him in the first inning and all, but the New Jersey native did not waver, as he received some help from his defense and never faced more than four hitters in a single frame up until the bottom half of the seventh.

— Red Sox Stats (@redsoxstats) June 18, 2019
There, following a string of retiring 17 of the last 19 Twins he had faced, a one-out, line-drive double off the bat of CJ Cron that nearly snuck over the wall in right-center field put the tying run in scoring position for Minnesota.
A two-out walk of Miguel Sano two batters later also put the go-ahead run on base, but, fortunately for Boston, Porcello managed to escape the jam and thus preserve the shutout by getting Jason Castro to fly out to left, and that would be how his outing came to a close.
Finishing with a final pitch count of 94 (68 strikes), the 30-year-old hurler turned to his four-seam fastball nearly 45% of the time he was on the mound Monday, inducing six swings and misses and topping out at 92.7 MPH with the pitch while Sandy Leon behind the plate.

Eventually earning his fifth winning decision while lowering his ERA on the season down to 4.31, Porcello will look to continue this recent run he has been on in his next time out, which should come against the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend.
In relief of Porcello, Colten Brewer came on in the eighth with a one-run lead to protect, allowed the first two men he faced to reach to put the go-ahead run on for Minnesota yet again.
With no outs and the AL's top hitter Jorge Polanco (.332 BA) at the plate, the Twins decided to take the bat out of their shortstop's hands, and instead opted for a sacrifice bunt to advance both Jonathan Schoop and Max Kepler into scoring position for Neslon Cruz.
Having only faced Cruz one time prior to Monday, Brewer got ahead in the count with two straight strikes before getting the Twins slugger to ground into a fielder's choice that just so happened to catch Schoop in a rundown between third and home.
Devers, on the toss from Sandy Leon, was able to tag Schoop out to eliminate the threat, all while Kepler failed to advance to third himself.
Three pitches later, Brewer miraculously got out of the tight spot he put himself in by getting Eddie Roasario to ground into an inning-ending out at first.
And in the ninth, after his team had provided a little insurance in their half of the frame, Ryan Brasier, just activated from the bereavement list earlier Monday, shut the door on the Twins and notched his seventh save of the year by locking down the 2-0 win for Boston.
That's how we like to start a series. pic.twitter.com/Wh6HRtnMmK
On the other side of things, the Red Sox lineup was matched up against Twins ace right-hander Jose Berrios, and he proved to be just as, if not more dominant than Porcello in this one.
It was a good thing the Boston bats got to him right away with one out in the first on an RBI single off the bat of JD Martinez to plate Mookie Betts from third, because the Puerto Rico native was essentially unhittable the rest of the night.
Sitting down 19 in a row at one point and capping off his performance by fanning the final two hitters he faced, it wasn't until Berrios departed and right-handed reliever Blake Parker entered to begin the ninth.
Down to their last out of the inning with JD Martinez at second following a one-out double off Parker, Xander Bogaerts came through in the clutch and gave his side some much-needed insurance, as he took an 0-2 fastball on the outer half of the plate and slapped an RBI two-bagger to the opposite field, allowing for Martinez to come in and score and put the Red Sox up 2-0.
Congratulations to Xander on his 300th career extra-base hit! pic.twitter.com/ncUwWIX9ek
That extra-base hit, the 300th of Bogaerts' career, would be all the Sox would need to take the series opener from the Twins and win their sixth straight overall in the process of doing so.
Some notes from this win:
From MassLive.com's Christopher Smith:
Rick Porcello improved to 8-3 with a 2.73 ERA (89 innings, 27 earned runs) in 14 starts here at Target Field.
Ryan Brasier with seventh save.

From The Boston Globe's Alex Speier:
Cora on winning streak: 'We're not where we want to be yet.'
— Alex Speier (@alexspeier) June 18, 2019
Xander Bogaerts, since this road trip began on June 14th: 5-for-11 with three doubles, six walks, and four RBI in four games.
I don't want to say that the Red Sox passed their first test since there are still two games remaining in this series, but after all the negativity about being unable to beat quality teams, coming out and blanking arguably the best team in the American League at the moment at home is impressive nonetheless.
For the middle contest of this three-game set, it will be a starting pitching matchup featuring a pair of veteran arms, with left-hander David Price getting the ball for Boston and Michael Pineada doing the same for Minnesota.
Coming off his second-shortest start of the season in a six-run beatdown at the hands of the Rangers on June 13th, Price (4-2, 3.52 ERA), brings with him a lifetime 3.08 ERA over nine career starts and 61.1 total innings pitched at Target Field.
Pineda, meanwhile, missed all of the 2018 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and has posted a 5.04 ERA through 13 starts in his second year with the Twins.
In 12 prior starts against Boston, the 30-year-old is 5-5 to go along with an ERA of 4.23 over 66 innings of work.
First pitch Tuesday is scheduled for 8:10 PM EDT on NESN. Red Sox looking to extend their winning streak to seven.

This study provides a detailed analysis of the testing and monitoring equipment used for assessing the conformance of VoLTE networks as well as for the development and manufacture of VoLTE-compliant mobile devices. The key market driver is the rollout of VoLTE across the world. This creates demand for sophisticated testing and monitoring equipment that assesses network quality and the ease with which mobile devices are handed over the heterogeneous network. Although VoLTE would boost cost savings among network operators, the heterogeneous nature of the network remains a challenge, due to which the demand for VoLTE-specific testing and monitoring equipment is expected to increase.

New community-based labs open
by Derek Cornet
The First Nations University of Canada announced today the official opening of two new community-based health research labs. The project was led by Carrie Bourassa, an associate professor of science at FNUniv. "There are two purposes (for the labs). One is to train indigenous undergraduate and graduate students in health research, and one is to provide space for community-based research," Bourassa said.
After the official announcement was made, the research labs opened their doors to visitors. The $154,000 labs are furnished with state-of-the-art equipment. Money for the labs came from a Leaders Opportunity Fund grant that Bourassa applied for[T1] .
Students demonstrated the tools they use to compile their research. Brad Sunshine, an undergraduate student, was excited about the new lab space.
"Traditional knowledge in regards to health is what I have been working on and it is great to have space here to think and work," Sunshine said.
The student lab consisted of several work stations with a desks, computers, printers, telephones, a photocopier, and general supplies. The community lab was a smaller version of the student lab but with more space for community meetings.
Bourassa said the labs are important to the aboriginal community.
"There is a critical need for research that addresses their unique health concerns. What's more, this research must be driven by the communities so that they can put research into action," she said.
Several people from The Indigenous Peoples' Health Research Centre (IPHRC) were also at the announcement to show their support. Cassandra Opikokew, a research associate at IPHRC says that the labs are very important to FNUniv and Regina.
"This is supposed to be a culturally safe space for community members to be able to come into the university, to be part of the university atmosphere, and conduct research here with the researchers, in a space that also belongs to them as community members." Opikokew said.
The labs will be used for a variety of different projects. A current project is 'Exploring Health Issues with Aboriginal Youth through Applied Arts.' Karen Schmidt, a health educator with the File Hills Qu'Appelle Tribal Council, said the space will help project workers conduct their research. The project has recently hired a research assistant who will use the space to compile research and to host community meetings, she said.

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office revealed new details on the murder of the missing Pearl River man and woman who were found in the Camaro in the water off the East Pearl River Boat Launch on Monday.
Sheriff Randy Smith said it was a carjacking gone bad and that both victims Raegan Day and Dustin Hartline were shot.
Smith said it all began when Hartline had decided to sell his vehicle. The suspects had enquired about it and then decided to steal it.
"These four individuals that were arrested for first degree homicide had planned this, premeditaded this and met these two missing individuals on Salmon off of Brown's Village in the East Morgan Subdivision," Smith said.
Eighteen-year-old Jason Landry and 25-year-old Brittney "Beezy" Savell, who both live in Slidell, were arrested in Waveland, Mississippi. 22-year-old Derrion Lemoine and 27-year-old Steve "Stevie" Olivieri were arrested in Louisiana.
The sheriff said this was premeditated by the suspects who had planned to steal the vehicle and that the motive was robbery.
"During the investigation, our detectives were able to locate 3 weapons and 2 of those were believed to be the murder weapons," said Smith.
Police also said that Raegan Day and the female suspect, Brittney Savell, were acquaintances and knew each other.
The victims had been missing since February 15.

Bounce, Post Type
As we close out March, it's important to take a moment to reflect on and honor women's contributions to our history during Women's History Month. It wasn't that long ago that our rights and our stories went unnoticed despite our achievements and our leadership.
Did you know that until 1988 women entrepreneurs couldn't get business loans without a male relative as a cosigner? It was only 34 years ago that the Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988 was signed – 34 years!
Now, according to the United States Census Bureau in an article from just last year, women-owned businesses are on the rise, but we still continue to lag in national earnings. American Express's State of Women-Owned Businesses Report said that in 2019, women-owned businesses represented 42 percent of all businesses and generated revenue of 1.9 trillion. We can't be slowed down as all women continue to work to level the playing field.
How does Bounce stack up?
Since Bounce Innovation Hub's launch, we have served 156 women entrepreneurs representing 47.7 percent of all our clients served since inception. Within the last two years, we have concentrated our efforts even more to serve more women entrepreneurs and have reached at least 50 percent of women served in 2020 and 2021.
Lastly, we are proud that our Bounce internal team is over 50 percent women with two-thirds of our executive team represented by women leaders.
Speaking of the executive team, we asked our two leading women Jessica Sublett, COO, and Jeanine Black, CMO, to reflect on some questions for Women's History Month.
What does representation mean to you in the workplace?
Jessica: Representation looks like having women in all ranks across an organization. We may not always be at the tippy-top (one day), but we should at least be in the room and at the tables where important decisions are being made. Our influence can be felt regardless of who is at the helm. If you have something to say, speak up!
Jeanine: Representation for me looks like women in leadership positions where they directly affect a company or organization's operations, mission and strategic goals. Obviously, you want women at all levels, but unless there are women in leadership, it is unlikely their voices will be heard.
What advice would you give to other women in your field?
Jessica: Find someone whose career or role inspires you and work to understand how they got there. I think you'll learn that oftentimes; you have to put your head down and just execute excellent work. Your work will speak for itself – trust me. I'm a firm believer in the phrase that "opportunity happens when luck meets preparation." If you're not working to be as prepared as possible, then when luck plays its part, the opportunity won't be there.
Jeanine: Hold your head high and don't apologize for voicing your thoughts and opinions and exerting your power. In my field (public relations and communications), in particular, it is essential that you are honest, transparent and forthright. Your colleagues are looking to you for advice and council on things that could deeply affect your organization. Trust in yourself and your experience and you will succeed. I one hundred percent believe in women's intuition – use it!
What advice would you give to women entrepreneurs/business owners from your experience working at Bounce?
Jessica: Use your voice and don't forget that all you have to do is ask – the worst someone will say is, "No."
Jeanine: I'd reiterate what I said above – don't be intimidated and trust in yourself. You'll have roadblocks every step of the way. Just stay the course and by all means, don't be afraid to ask for help when needed. It's not a sign of weakness; it's a sign that you are mature and experienced enough to know that you cannot possibly do everything. And to that, surround yourself with good people who complement your skills and personality.
Women's History Month may be over, but our dedication to women entrepreneurs continues. Let's continue to regularly honor all women in our lives and support one another all year long.

Bipartisan Bill to Protect America's Domestic Food Supply, Ag Industries
U.S. Senators Gary Peters (D-MI), Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Pat Roberts (R-KS), John Cornyn (R-TX) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) introduced bipartisan legislation to address the shortage of agricultural inspectors who protect our food supply and agricultural industries at the border. Agricultural inspectors work to prevent the intentional or unintentional entry of harmful plants, food, animals and goods into the United States. The Protecting America's Food & Agriculture Act of 2019 would ensure the safe and secure trade of agricultural goods across our nation's borders by authorizing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to hire additional inspectors to fully staff America's airports, seaports and land ports of entry. Roberts and Stabenow are Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, respectively.
"Every day, millions of pounds of produce, meat and other agricultural goods enter the United States through our nation's ports of entry," said Peters. "Agricultural inspectors are responsible for ensuring these goods move efficiently across our borders while safeguarding against harmful pests, diseases and even potential bioterrorism attacks. This bill will help ensure we have enough inspectors to secure America's domestic food supply and agricultural industries and protect the health and safety of people in Michigan and across the country."
"Devastating diseases and pests are just one plane or boat ride away from causing havoc for American agriculture. Thus, diligence by the Customs and Border Patrol Agriculture Specialists is vital to a safe and affordable food supply," said Roberts. "This bipartisan legislation helps to ensure that our borders are properly staffed and resourced to protect U.S. agriculture, the backbone of our national economy."
"We rely on agricultural inspectors at our borders to protect the safety of our food supply," said Senator Stabenow. "It's critical that we address the shortage of agriculture specialists and hire qualified staff to safeguard our food and farms."
"Hundreds of billions of dollars in goods pass through Texas' ports of entry each year," said Cornyn. "Ensuring the safety and integrity of goods and products coming across our border is a priority, and this legislation would help alleviate the shortage of agricultural inspectors tasked with this important job."
The USDA and CBP work together to facilitate the safe and secure entry of agricultural goods into the U.S. The program's Agricultural Specialists and canine units conduct inspections of foreign passengers, commercial vessels, trucks, aircraft and railcars at U.S. ports of entry to protect health and safety by preventing the entry of harmful goods and invasive species that may pose a threat to American food and agriculture. On a typical day, those inspectors process more than 1 million passengers and 78,000 truck, rail and sea containers carrying goods worth approximately $7.2 billion. In March, agricultural inspectors and their canine teams seized nearly 1 million pounds of illegal pork products smuggled from China, which has tested positive for African swine fever. According to CBP estimates, there is a shortage of nearly 700 inspectors across the country.
The Protecting America's Food & Agriculture Act of 2019 authorizes the annual hiring of 240 Agricultural Specialists a year until the workforce shortage is filled, and 200 Agricultural Technicians a year to carry out administrative and support functions. The bill also authorizes the training and assignment of 20 new canine teams a year, which have proven valuable in detecting illicit fruits, vegetables and animal products that may have otherwise been missed in initial inspections. Finally, the bill authorizes supplemental appropriations each year to pay for the activities of the agriculture specialists, technicians and canine teams.
The legislation is supported by a broad coalition of groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Farm Bureau Federation, National Treasury Employees Union, Border Trade Alliance, National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, National Pork Producers, Michigan Farm Bureau, Michigan Agri-Business Association and the Michigan Pork Producers.
Below are statements in support of the Senators' bipartisan legislation:
"This bipartisan legislation would help fill a critical gap at our country's ports of entry. Agriculture Specialists, Technicians and canine teams root out, identify and stop invasive pests and other dangers to our nation's farms and green spaces," said Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union. "NTEU strongly supports this bipartisan bill and thanks Sen. Peters and Sen. Roberts for taking action to increase the numbers of employees at our ports who serve as the last defense against the accidental or deliberate introduction into our country of pests and plants that do not belong here."
"The last several months have demonstrated how critically important well-resourced ports of entry are to the nation's economic health. The Border Trade Alliance applauds this effort to ensure that ever-increasing volumes of cross-border agriculture trade can be processed securely and efficiently at our ports by highly trained CBP Agriculture Specialists," said Britton Clarke, president of the Border Trade Alliance. "This is important legislation, and we thank Sen. Peters and Sen. Roberts for their good work to address this important staffing need."
"Invasive species have been estimated to cost the US economy more than $120 billion annually, with more than half of that amount representing damage to American agriculture," said Dr. Barb Glenn, CEO of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA). "NASDA strongly supports funding for additional staff and canine units to enhance and maintain a framework designed to protect our nation's food and agriculture through education, research, prevention, monitoring and control. We thank Senator Gary Peters and Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts for introducing this bill."
"Preventing the spread of African swine fever and other foreign animal diseases to the United States is our top priority," said David Herring, president of the National Pork Producers Council. "We appreciate all that the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection are doing to strengthen biosecurity at our borders. To further safeguard American agriculture, we need additional agriculture inspectors at our sea and airports. This essential legislation will help address the current inspection shortfall, reduce the risk of ASF and other foreign animal diseases, and protect the food supply for U.S. consumers."
"Michigan Farm Bureau applauds Senators Gary Peters and Pat Roberts for introducing the Agricultural Specialist bill," said John Kran, national legislative counsel for the Michigan Farm Bureau. "Invasive species like spotted wing drosophila and the brown marmorated stink bug are just two examples of non-native pests that have created havoc for Michigan farmers over the last few years. This bill will expand and enhance border inspections and provide farmers with another level of protection from foreign pests that negatively impact both farmers and the consumers they feed."
"Customs and Border Protection's agricultural inspectors are the first line of defense against imported products that may contain diseases, invasive species, or other threats that pose a multi-billion dollar risk to Michigan's agricultural markets," said Jim Byrum, president of the Michigan Agri-Business Association. "The Protecting America's Food & Agricultural Act of 2019 will help reduce this risk to the agricultural economy in Michigan and across the country by addressing longstanding shortages at our nation's ports of entry. We are supportive of this bill and applaud Senator Peters for his leadership on this issue."
"With the outbreak of African Swine Fever in China and many other countries around the world, U.S. border safeguards are more important than ever to protect America's food supply," said Mary Kelpinksi, CEO of the Michigan Pork Producers Association. "Border security professionals must have the resources necessary to carry out this critical mission and protect our nation from contaminated or fraudulent imports. This commonsense legislation will help ensure our farmers can continue to produce the highest quality products--without fear that foreign imports will compromise the quality of U.S. goods."

The Smashing Pumpkins - 'Monuments To An Elegy'
Veteran rockers return with disappointing new release
by Chris Bound: December 3, 2014
Despite it being more than two years since we last heard any new material from The Smashing Pumpkins, 2014 has been a very prolific year for the band as they not only release their tenth studio album but also plan to release another full-length in the coming months. 'Monuments Of An Elegy' sees the band return to the grungier roots but all doesn't seem to gel as it once did as this new release doesn't have that same magic they were once known for.
While the band's core sound hasn't changed, the intentions within the record seem very weak compared to their previous material. Even after just hearing the lead singles 'Being Beige' and 'One And All (We Are)', it doesn't feel like the band have any fire or passion left in them at all. This new record seems to just be going through the motions of what they think they should be producing rather than going wherever inspiration takes them. Nostalgic at times but overall, they just seem like a group that has run out of ideas but can't quite give up on attempting their past glories.
It's a real shame to see what was once a very successful and inspirational band reduced to angst-by-numbers renditions and clichéd torched lyrics. While you have to respect them for continuing with their dreams, sometimes it is best to give up when the time is right.

Life can be messy sometimes, yet right in that messy season God is very present. And when He does a new thing in our lives the mess can appear to become – well, messier.
Says I, a self-confessed perfectionist. Here I am with my arm raised high saying "Hello my name is Karen and I am a perfectionist." Believe me no one wants to wear an "I'm a perfectionist" badge and parade it around – it can feel like a walk of shame.
I do not like mess; I loathe dis-order – yet I love the new things of God.
Perfectionism is like ivy which grows, twists, climbs and wraps itself around your vital organs, squeezing the life out of you. Have you ever seen a house covered in ivy? At first it looks attractive, until the ivy takes over with roots and branches thick and gnarly, its leaves covering the whole building.
Perfectionism can affect your self-worth as it functions in performance; in achievement and in value through your 'do' and not your 'who'. It is never satisfied, always believing there is something you could do better, could strive for, could reach for. It robs you of today and it's out to steal your tomorrow.
God is enough for you - for me. Perfectionism tells you that you are never enough.
God loves us unconditionally as his sons and daughters. Perfectionism only loves temporarily when it reaches it targets and goals.
As a young girl, I had goals and set out to achieve them. This in itself is a great objective, however, I'd always add to my goal, expecting more of myself. I'd push further, reach higher. The thought of failing could paralyse me, procrastination would stall me along with an equal fear of succeeding. Fear of success leading to self-sabotage.
My first marriage failed when I was 26 years old. A year later I was in France on a course studying Prayer and Intercession. Separated from my husband I was in limbo as to the future. My life felt messy.
Yet somehow I put that to one side and began striving to be a great student on the course.
As exams loomed nearer after 3 months of study, tension was mounting. We were busy making outreach plans, involved in ministry life and navigating all that God was doing in us.
The perfectionist in me was rising up. I was angry, I was stressed. I needed time to study hard for these exams so that I could pass with excellence.
I craved perfection. The fear of anything less made we want to throw up my hands and not even try!
Acceptance and love coursed through my being. I could cease striving, I was acceptable and I did not need to perform, excel or be amazing. I was good enough.
In the mess of that season - the separation, living in France and moving deeper into prayer ministry - God was challenging my self-beliefs, my perfectionism and the need to earn and be worthy of love.
You would think that 22 years later I would be singing a song of freedom and liberty? And in many respects I am, because Father has walked me through the outer issues to remove the ivy leaves and branches – now He is cleaning the house and pulling at the roots – the perfectionism; which stand between where I am and where He wants me to be.
Love is being poured into this vessel, I'm feeling a new grace which even covers my errors and mistakes.
It can take a mess to become the catalyst for a clean-up and a sort out. A time to cast off the lies, the negative self-beliefs and be saturated in the truth.
The antidote to the venom of perfectionism – is love. Unconditional, unchanging, accepting, grace-filled love.

\section{Introduction}
 Harmonic
superspace has been studied in four dimensions \cite{h1, h2}. It has also been
studied in three dimensions \cite{h21, h3, h4}. In three dimensions it has
$\mathcal{N} = 3$ supersymmetry. Harmonic superspace
 has been used for analysing the multiple M2-branes  \cite{ahs}. The action for
these multiple M2-branes on $C^4/Z_k$ orbifold is given by
a theory  called the ABJM theory \cite{1, 2, 3, 4}.
The ABJM theory has
 $\mathcal{N} =6$ supersymmetry. However, the
ABJM theory coincides with the  BLG theory
for the only known example of a Lie $3$-algebra \cite{BL1, BL2, BL3, blG}.
Thus, the  supersymmetry of the ABJM theory is  expected to be
enhanced to full $\mathcal{N} =8$ supersymmetry \cite{sabjm, sabjm1}.

The   Chern-Simons
actions with levels, $k =1,2$ forms the gauge part of  the ABJM theory.
Furthermore,  the matter fields in the ABJM theory live in the bifundamental representation of the gauge group
$U(N) \times U(N)$.
A generalization of the ABJM theory to the  ABJ theory has been made \cite{5, 5ba, 5a1, 5a2, 5a}. In the ABJ theory
the matter fields live in the
bifundamental representation of gauge group
$U(M) \times U(N)$ with $M \neq N$ has been made.
The ABJ theory also has $\mathcal{N} =6$ supersymmetry.

The presence of $NS$  background causes a noncommutative
 deformation between the spacetime coordinates
 \cite{sw, dn, dfr, co}, and the presence of a graviphoton background causes
 a noncommutative deformation between the spacetime and Grassmann coordinates
 \cite{bgn, gp,  gp01, gp1}. Both these deformations do not break any
supersymmetry. However, the presence of a $RR$ background causes
 a deformation between the Grassmann  coordinates, and thus,  breaks
the a certain amount of the supersymmetry
\cite{ov,se,beta1,beta2,beta3,beta4}.
As M-theory is dual to type II string theory,  a deformation of the string theory
side will also generate a deformation on the M-theory side. In fact, a
noncommutative superspace deformation of the ABJM theory in $\mathcal{N} =1$
 superspace have been already studied.
In this paper we study deformation of the ABJ theory by a graviphoton background
in harmonic superspace.
  It may be noted that the BRST symmetry of the ABJM theory has been analysed
in deformed $\mathcal{N} =1$ superspace
\cite{3, 4, qwer}.
So, in this paper we will also analyse the
BRST symmetry of deformed ABJ theory
 in  harmonic superspace.
\section{Harmonic superspace}
In order to construct harmonic superspace, first
harmonic variables, $u^{\pm}$, parameterizing the coset $SU(2)/U(1)$
are constructed.
 These harmonic variable are subjected to the
constraints $
 u^{+i} u^-_i = 1, \,\, \,\, u^{+i} u^+_i = u^{-i} u^-_i =0.
$
Thus, harmonic  superspace  coordinates are given by
\begin{equation}
 z = ( x^{ab}, \theta_{a}^{++}, \theta^{--}_a, \theta^0_a, u_i^{\pm} ),
\end{equation}
where $ \theta^{\pm}_a = \theta_a^{ij} u^{\pm}_i u^{\pm}_j$ and $\theta^0_a = \theta^{ij}_a u^+_i u^-_j$.
In order to construct the harmonic superspace the following derivatives are constructed
\begin{eqnarray}
\nonumber \\
{\cal
D}^{++}&=&\partial^{++}+2i\theta^{++ a}\theta^{0 b}
 \partial^A_{ab}
 +\theta^{++a}\frac\partial{\partial\theta^{0 a}}
 +2\theta^{0 a}\frac\partial{\partial\theta^{--a}},\nonumber \\
{  D}^{--}&=&\partial^{--}
 -2i\theta^{--a}\theta^{0 b}\partial^A_{ab}
 +\theta^{--a}\frac\partial{\partial\theta^{0 a}}
 +2\theta^{0 a}\frac\partial{\partial\theta^{++ a}},
\nonumber \\
{  D}^0&=&\partial^0+2\theta^{++ a}\frac\partial{\partial\theta^{++ a}}
-2\theta^{--a}\frac\partial{\partial\theta^{--a}},
\end{eqnarray}
and
\begin{eqnarray}
D^{--}_a=\frac\partial{\partial\theta^{++ a}}
 +2i\theta^{--b}\partial^A_{ab}, &&
D^0_a= -\frac12\frac\partial{\partial\theta^{0 a}}
+i\theta^{0 b}\partial^A_{ab},\nonumber \\
D^{++}_a=\frac{\partial}{\partial
\theta^{--a}}.&&
\end{eqnarray}
Here $\partial^{++}, \partial^{--}$ and $\partial^{0}$ are given by
\begin{eqnarray}
&\partial^{++}=u^+_i\frac\partial{\partial u^-_i}, &
\partial^{--}=u^-_i\frac\partial{\partial u^+_i},\nonumber \\
&\partial^0 = u^+_i\frac\partial{\partial u^+_i}
-u^-_i\frac\partial{\partial u^-_i}.&
\end{eqnarray}
Now these derivatives satisfy the following superalbegra,
\begin{eqnarray}
 \{D^{++}_a, D^{--}_b\}=2i\partial^A_{ab}, \quad \{D^{0}_a,
D^{0}_b\}=-i\partial^A_{ab},
\nonumber \\
{[{ D}^{\mp\mp}, D^{\pm\pm}_a]}=2D^0_a, \quad [{  D}^{0},
D^{\pm\pm}_a]=\pm 2D^{\pm\pm}_a,
\nonumber \\
\partial^0=[\partial^{++},\partial^{--}],\quad
[{  D}^{++}, {  D}^{--}]={  D}^0. \nonumber \\
\{D^{\pm\pm}_a, D^{0}_b\} = 0\,,\quad [{\cal
D}^{\pm\pm}, D^0_a]=D^{\pm\pm}_a.
  \end{eqnarray}

In harmonic superspace the fields which satisfy, $ D^{++}_a\Phi_A=0 $, are called
analytic
superfields, $\Phi_A = \Phi_A(\zeta_A)$. Thus, the analytical superfields are  independent of the
$\theta^{--}_a$.
So, the  coordinates for the analytic subspace
are given by
\begin{eqnarray}
\zeta_A=(x^{ab}_A,
\theta^{++}_a, \theta^{0}_a, u^\pm_i),
  \end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
x^{ab}_A=(\gamma_m)^{ab}x^m_A=x^{ab}
+i(\theta^{++a}\theta^{--b}+\theta^{++b}\theta^{--a}).
  \end{eqnarray}
The harmonic superspace has $\mathcal{N} =3$ supersymmetry, which is generated by
\begin{eqnarray}
&Q^{++}_a=u^+_iu^+_j Q_a ^{ij}, &
Q^{--}_a=u^-_iu^-_j Q_a ^{ij},\nonumber \\
&Q^0_a = u^+_iu^-_j Q_a ^{ij},&
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{equation}
 Q_a^{ij} = \frac{\partial}{\partial \theta^a_{ij}} - \theta^{ijb }  \partial_{ab}.
\end{equation}
The measures in the harmonic  superspace are given by
  \begin{eqnarray}
d^9z &=&-\frac1{16}d^3x
(D^{++})^2 (D^{--})^2(D^{0})^2, \nonumber \\
d\zeta^{(-4)}&=&\frac{1}{4} d^3x_Adu (D^{--})^2(D^{0})^2\,.
  \end{eqnarray}
A conjugation in the  harmonic superspace is defined  by
  \begin{eqnarray}
\widetilde{(u^\pm_i)}=u^{\pm i},\quad \widetilde{(x^m_A)}=x^m_A, \nonumber \\  \widetilde{(\theta^{\pm\pm}_a)}=
\theta^{\pm\pm}_a,\quad \widetilde{(\theta^0_a)}=
\theta^0_a.
  \end{eqnarray}
It is squared to $-1$ on the harmonics  and to $1$ on $x^m_A$  and
 Grassmann coordinates. So,  the analytic superspace measure is real
 $\widetilde{d\zeta^{(-4)}}=d\zeta^{(-4)}$
and the full superspace measure is imaginary $\widetilde{d^9z}=-d^9z$.

\section{Deformed ABJ Theory}
In this section we will construct a   deformed  ABJ theory in the
 harmonic superspace. The deformation will be caused by a graviphoton background.
We expect a noncommutative deformation  of the
M-theory to occur in curved backgrounds  due to the three form field
$C_{\mu\nu\tau}$ and a graviphoton $\psi_{b}^\mu$. If $H_{\mu\nu\tau\rho}$ the field strength of
this three form field, then  we expect a noncommutative
deformation proportional to
 $ (\gamma^\mu\gamma^\nu\gamma^\tau\gamma^\rho H_{\mu\nu\tau\rho})^{ab}\psi_{b}^\mu  $
to occur.
We thus deform the harmonic superspace
 by imposing the following relations,
\begin{equation}
 \{\hat y_\mu, \hat \theta^{++}_a \} = C^{++}_{\mu a }. \label{p}
\end{equation}
Now we start by
defining a vector field  $V^{++}$ in the harmonic superspace.
 We can express  this field
on the deformed superspace as
\begin{eqnarray}
{\hat V^{++}}( \hat z )
=
\int dp
\exp i(  p \hat z )  V^{++} (p).
\end{eqnarray}
Now we can similarly express the product of two fields on this deformed superspace.
We can thus obtain an expression for the   product
  of these fields on ordinary superspace.  This product is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
V^{++} (z) \star V^{++}  (z) &=&\exp -\frac{1}{2} \left(
C^{++ a\mu}[ \partial^{ ++2}_a \partial^{1}_\mu + \partial^{ ++1}_a \partial^{2}_\mu]\right)
\nonumber\\&& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\times
 {V^{++}}(z_1) { V^{++}}  (z_2)
\left. \right|_{z_1=z_2=z}.
\end{eqnarray}
It is also  possible to write $V^{--}$ as
\begin{equation}
 V^{--}(z,u)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n \int du_1\ldots
du_n  E^{++},
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
 E^{++} = \frac{V^{++}(z,u_1)\star V^{++}(z,u_2)\ldots \star
V^{++}(z,u_n)}{(u^+u^+_1)(u^+_1u^+_2)\ldots (u^+_n u^+)}.
\end{equation}

The action for the deformed ABJ theory is invariant under the gauge group $U(N) \times U(M)$.
Let the the gauge
fields corresponding to $U(M)$ and $U(N)$ be denoted by  $(V^{++}_L)^A_B$ and
$(V^{++}_R)^{\underline{A}}_{\underline{B}}$, respectively. Thus, indices corresponding to the
 gauge group $U(M)$ would be denoted  by the  underlined indices. Now the
 matter fields are given by  $(q^{+})_A^{\underline B}$
 and $(\bar{q}^+)^A_{\underline B}$.
We can  define  covariant derivatives for
 the matter fields in this deformed theory as
\begin{eqnarray}
\nabla^{++}q^{+}&=&{  D}^{++}q^{+}
 + V^{++}_L \star q^{+}- q^{+} \star V^{++}_R\,,
\nonumber \\   \nabla^{++}\bar q^{+}&=&{  D}^{++}\bar q^{+}
 -\bar q^{+}  \star V^{++}_L +  V^{++}_R  \star \bar q^{+}\, ,
\end{eqnarray}
The action for the deformed ABJ theory can now be written as
\begin{equation}
 S = S_{CS, k} [ V^{++}_L]_ \star  + S_{CS, - k} [ V^{++}_R]_ \star   + S_{M} [ q^{+}, \bar q^{+}]_ \star,
\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
 S_{CS, k}[ V^{++}_L]_ \star &=&\frac{ik}{4\pi}\, tr\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=2} \frac{(-1)^{n}}{n} \int
d^3x d^6\theta du_{1}\ldots du_n  H^{++}_L, \nonumber \\
  S_{CS, -k}[ V^{++}_R]_ \star &=&- \frac{ik}{4\pi}\,tr\sum\limits^{\infty}_{n=2} \frac{(-1)^{n}}{n} \int
d^3x d^6\theta du_{1}\ldots du_n H^{++}_R, \nonumber \\
S_{M} [ q^{+}, \bar q^{+}]_ \star
&=&tr\int d^3 x d\zeta^{(-4)}
\bar q^{+} \star \nabla^{++}  \star q^{+},
\end{eqnarray}
and
\begin{eqnarray}
 H^{++}_L &=& \frac{V^{++}(z,u_{1} )_L  \star V^{++}(z,u_{2} )_L\ldots
 \star V^{++}(z,u_n )_L }{ (u^+_{1} u^+_{2})\ldots (u^+_n u^+_{1} )},
\nonumber \\
H^{++}_R &=& \frac{V^{++}(z,u_{1} )_R  \star V^{++}(z,u_{2} )_R\ldots
 \star V^{++}(z,u_n )_R }{ (u^+_{1} u^+_{2})\ldots (u^+_n u^+_{1} )}.
\end{eqnarray}
The  harmonic superspace used to write the deformed ABJ theory has  manifest $\mathcal{N} =3$
 supersymmetry generated by to the supercharges $Q^{++}_a, Q^{--}_a$ and $Q^{0}_a$.
However,  the ABJ theory has   $\mathcal{N} =6$
supersymmetry.  Thus, we need additional
additional $\mathcal{N} =3$ supersymmetry.
Thus, this deformed ABJ theory is invariant under the following  supersymmetric transformations,
\begin{eqnarray}
\delta_\epsilon q^{+}&=& i\epsilon^{a}\hat\nabla^0_a \star q^{+}\,, \nonumber \\
\delta_\epsilon\bar q^{+} &=&i\epsilon^{a} \hat\nabla^0_a \star \bar q^{+ }\,, \nonumber  \\
\delta_\epsilon V^{++}_L&=&\frac{8\pi}k\epsilon^{a}
 \theta^0_a \star q^+\star\bar q^+\,, \nonumber \\
\delta_\epsilon V^{++}_R &=&\frac{8\pi}k\epsilon^{a}
 \theta^0_a \star \bar q^+ \star q^+\,,
\label{epsilon4}
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
 \hat\nabla^0_a \star q^{+}& =& \nabla^0_a \star q^{+}
+\theta^{--}_a (W^{++}_L \star q^{+} -q^{+} \star W^{++}_R )\,, \nonumber \\
 \nabla^0_a \star q^+&=&D^0_a q^+
 +V^0_{L\, a}\star q^+ -q^+\star V^0_{R\,a }\,, \nonumber \\ V^0_{L\, a}&=&-\frac12D^{++}_a
V^{--}_{L}, \nonumber \\
V^0_{R\, a}&=&-\frac12D^{++}_a
V^{--}_{R}.
\end{eqnarray}
The covariant derivatives  $\hat\nabla^0_a \bar q^{+ } $ and $  \nabla^0_a \bar q^{+ }$ are obtained via  conjugation.
Furthermore,
the field strengths $W^{++}_R$ and $W^{++}_L$ are given by
\begin{eqnarray}
 W^{++}_L &=& -\frac{1}{4} D^{++a} D^{++}_{ a}  V^{--}_L, \nonumber \\
 W^{++}_R &=& -\frac{1}{4} D^{++a} D^{++}_{ a}  V^{--}_R,
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
 D^{++} W^{++}_L  + [V^{++}_L , W^{++}_L ]_\star &=0, \nonumber \\
 D^{++} W^{++}_R + [V^{++}_R, W^{++}_R]_\star &=0.
\end{eqnarray}
Thus,  we get
\begin{equation}
 \delta_\epsilon  S =0,
\end{equation}
because   using Fierz rearrangement, we have  $-   \delta_\epsilon
S_{M} [ q^{+}, \bar q^{+}]_ \star =  \delta_\epsilon S_{CS, k} [ V^{++}_L]_ \star  +  \delta_\epsilon S_{CS, - k} [ V^{++}_R]_ \star $.
So,  this ABJ theory in the deformed harmonic superspace  has $\mathcal{N} =6$ supersymmetry.

\section{BRST Symmetry}
Now  all the degrees of this deformed ABJ are physical. This is  because
this theory is invariant under the following  infinitesimal gauge transformations
\begin{eqnarray}
\delta q^{+} &=& \Lambda_L  \star q^{+}-q^{+} \star \Lambda_R,\nonumber \\
 \delta\bar q^{+} &=&\Lambda_R  \star \bar q^{+}-\bar q^{+} \star \Lambda_L,\nonumber \\
\delta V^{++}_L&=&-{  D}^{++}\Lambda_L -[V^{++}_L,\Lambda_L]_ \star,\nonumber \\
\delta V^{++}_R&=&-{  D}^{++}\Lambda_R -[\Lambda_R, V^{++}_R]_ \star.
\end{eqnarray}
As the  deformed ABJ theory is invariant under these gauge transformations, it cannot be quantized  without fixing
a gauge. We  incorporate the gauge fixing conditions,$
D^{++}   V^{++}_L  =0, \,\, D^{++}  V^{++}_R   =0
$, at a quantum level by
 adding gauge fixing and ghost terms  to
the original action. The gauge fixing term is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
S_{gf \star} &=& \int d^3 x d\zeta^{(-4)}  tr  \left[b_L \star (D^{++}   V^{++}_L ) + \frac{\alpha}{2}b_L \star b_L \right. \nonumber \\ && \left.
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, -
 b_R  \star (D^{++} V^{++}_R  ) + \frac{\alpha}{2}b _R  \star  b_R
\right]_|,
\end{eqnarray}
and the ghost term is given by
\begin{equation}
S_{gh \star} = \int d^3 x d\zeta^{(-4)} tr
[ \overline{c}_L  \star D^{++} \nabla^{++}  \star c_L - \overline{c}_R  \star D^{++} \nabla_a \star c_R ]_|.
\end{equation}
The sum of the original Lagrangian density with the gauge fixing and ghost terms is invariant under the following BRST transformations
\begin{eqnarray}
s \,V^{++}_L = \nabla^{++} \star  c_L, && s\, V^{++}_R =\nabla^{++}_R  \star   c_R, \nonumber \\
s \,c_L = - {[c_L,c_L]}_ {\star} , && s \,\overline{c}_R =-  b_R - 2 [\overline{c}_R ,  c_R]_{\star}, \nonumber \\
s \, \overline{c}_L = b_L, && s \, c_R = - [c_R ,  c_R]_{\star}, \nonumber \\
s \,b_L =0, &&s \, b_R= - [ b_R, \overline{c}_R]_{\star}, \nonumber \\
s\, q^{+} = c_L  \star q^{+}-q^{+} \star c_R,&&
s\, \bar q^{+} = c_R  \star \bar q^{+}-\bar q^{+} \star c_L.
\end{eqnarray}
In fact, the sum of the gauge fixing term  and the ghost term,, is  a total BRST variation,
\begin{equation}
S_{gh \star} + S_{gf \star}=   \int d^3 x  d\zeta^{(-4)}   s\, tr  [\Phi]_|
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\Phi =  c_L \star \left(D^{++}   V^{++} _L
 -  \frac{i\alpha}{2}b_L \right)
-  c_R \star \left(D^{++}   V^{++}_R
 -  \frac{i\alpha}{2}b_R\right),
\end{equation}
 As sum  of the
ghost term and the gauge fixing term  can be expressed
as a total BRST, it is invariant under the BRST transformations, because
of the nilpotency of these  transformations, $s^2 =  0$. The
BRST variation of the original classical Lagrangian density  is its gauge variation with the gauge parameter
replaced by ghosts. As the original classical Lagrangian density was invariant under the gauge transformations, it
is also invariant under the BRST transformations.
So, the effective Lagrangian density which is defined to be a sum of the original classical Lagrangian density, the gauge
fixing term and the ghost term is invariant under the BRST  transformations.

As this total Lagrangian  density
is  invariant under the  BRST   transformations, so
 we can obtain
the Norther's charge  $Q$
corresponding to the BRST transformations and use
it to project out the physical states. To do that we first  calculate the
conserved current corresponding to this symmetry
\begin{eqnarray}
J^\mu & = & \frac{1}{2}\int d\zeta^{(-4)}  tr
\left[ \frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial \mathcal{D}_{\mu} V^{++}_L  }
\star  s\,
V^{++}_L  +
 \frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial  \mathcal{D}_{\mu} c_L } \star  s\, c_L
   +
\frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial  \mathcal{D}_{\mu} \overline{c}_L }
 \star  s\, \overline{c}_L \right. \nonumber \\&&
 \,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, +
\frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial \mathcal{D}_{\mu} b_L } \star   s\, b_L
 +
\frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial \mathcal{D}_{\mu}  V^{++}_R } \star  s\,
V^{++} _R +
 \frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial  \mathcal{D}_{\mu}  c_R }
 \star  s\,
c_R
 \nonumber \\&&
 \,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, +
\frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial  \mathcal{D}_{\mu}{\overline{c}}_R }
 \star  s\, \overline{c}_R +
\frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial \mathcal{D}_{\mu}  b_R } \star
 s\,
  b_R +
\frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial \mathcal{D}_{\mu}  q^+ } \star
 s\,
  q^+
 \nonumber \\&&\left.
 \,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\, \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, +
\frac{ \partial L_{eff}  }{\partial  \mathcal{D}_{\mu}\bar q^+ }
 \star  s\, \bar q^+ \right]_|,
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{equation}
 \int d^3 x d\zeta^{(-4)}  [L_{eff}]_| =  S_{\star} + S_{gh\star}
 + S_{gf \star}.
\end{equation}
Now the conserved BRST charge will be given by
\begin{equation}
 Q =\int d^3 x \,  J^0.
\end{equation}
As the BRST transformations are nilpotent,
so for any state $|\phi\rangle$ we have
\begin{eqnarray}
 Q^2 |\phi\rangle &=& 0.
\end{eqnarray}
The  physical states  $ |\phi_p \rangle $ can now be defined as
states that are annihilated by $Q$
\begin{equation}
 Q |\phi_p \rangle =0.
\end{equation}
All the states that are obtained by the action of $Q$ on unphysical states are physical. However, they are orthogonal to all physical states.
Thus, two states differing from each other by addition of such a state will be indistinguishable.
Furthermore, if the asymptotic physical states are given by
\begin{eqnarray}
 |\phi_{pa,out}\rangle &=& |\phi_{pa}, t \to \infty\rangle, \nonumber \\
 |\phi_{pb,in}\rangle &=& |\phi_{pb}, t \to- \infty\rangle,
\end{eqnarray}
 then a typical $\mathcal{S}$-matrix element can be written as
\begin{equation}
\langle\phi_{pa,out}|\phi_{pb,in}\rangle = \langle\phi_{pa}|\mathcal{S}^{\dagger}\mathcal{S}|\phi_{pb}\rangle.
\end{equation}
Now as the      BRST
are conserved charges, so they commute with the Hamiltonian
and thus the time evolution of any physical state will
also be annihilated by  $Q$,
\begin{equation}
 Q \mathcal{S} |\phi_{pb}\rangle =0.
\end{equation}
This implies that the states $\mathcal{S}|\phi_{pb}\rangle$ must be a linear combination of physical states denoted by $|\phi_{p,i}\rangle$.
 So we can write,
\begin{equation}
\langle\phi_{pa}|\mathcal{S}^{\dagger}\mathcal{S}|\phi_{pb}\rangle
 = \sum_{i}\langle\phi_{pa}|\mathcal{S}^{\dagger}|\phi_{p,i}\rangle
\langle\phi_{p,i}| \mathcal{S}|\phi_{pb}\rangle.
\end{equation}
Since the full $\mathcal{S}$-matrix is unitary this relation implies that the
 $S$-matrix restricted to
physical sub-space is also unitarity.

\section{Conclusion}
In this paper we analysed the non-anticommutative deformation of the ABJ theory
in harmonic superspace. This deformation was caused by a graviphoton backgrounds.  We also
discuss the BRST symmetry of this theory and used it to show the unitarity of the $S$-matrix.
There are other type of deformations that can be studied.
These deformations can occur because of non-vanishing values of anti-commutators between
Grassmann coordinates and physically correspond to a deformation generated by a $RR$ background
in string theory. As M-theory is dual to string theory, these deformations would also generate
non-commutative deformations on the M-theory side.
The interesting thing about these deformations is that they  break some amount of supersymmetry.
Thus, the some amount of supersymmetry of the
ABJ theory will be broken by non-anticommutative deformation of the harmonic superspace.
One such deformation has been recently studied \cite{ncmf}.
 It may be noted that the addition of the mass term
 breaks
the superconformal invariance without breaking any supersymmetry
\cite{suprconf}. It will be interesting to analyse these
aspects further in harmonic superspace.  Furthermore,
by using a novel Higgsing mechanism,
 the gauge group of the ABJM theory can
be  spontaneously broken down to its
diagonal subgroup \cite{zz1,zz2,zz3,zz4a}. Thus, by using this novel Higgsing mechanism the action for
multiple M2-branes can be reduced to the action for
multiple
D2-branes.  This analysis has also been performed   in $\mathcal{N} =1$ superspace deformed by
a graviphoton background \cite{hi}.
It will interesting to analyse this novel Higgsing mechanism in harmonic superspace deformed by a graviphoton
background.

nekú netsí kezhi (our home and Native land) is a photomontage of images taken in Vancouver, using forms representing simplified northern First Nations formline design elements and beads. The complex interconnecting forms are symbolic of the complications of reconciliation – the diverse elements do not create a single complete form. The abstract nature of the design is also meant to be celebratory in the context of Canada 150+: Strengthening Our Relations, Vancouver's celebration of relationships among indigenous peoples and all Canadians.
"nekú netsí kezhi" translates to "Our home and Native Land" in the Northern Tutchone language, the language of the artist's maternal grandmother. This line from the Canadian anthem is important as it alludes to the duality of home and land ownership.

The 2016 vice presidential debate is approaching, and Tim Kaine and Mike Pence are preparing to defend both themselves and their running mates from the other side's attacks. While Kaine's running mate Hillary Clinton has faced some high-profile scandals, Kaine himself has mainly avoided getting embroiled in charges of misconduct. Even the biggest issue in his political past, Tim Kaine's Million Mom March "scandal," is remarkable, if anything, for how he fixed it quickly and easily.
So, how did Kaine react to the criticism of his semi-dumb move? He promptly raised that same amount of money privately, and paid the city back.
Really not too much to see here, except that Kaine made a mistake that didn't hurt anyone, then made amends for it. The people of Virginia were so mad about it that... they elected him governor a few years later.
In all likelihood, part of Kaine's appeal to the Clinton team was his lack of meaningful potential scandals. In an election cycle this bruising, it's a relief to have a public figure's biggest political mistakes be so easily fixed and explained. Nobody's going to make Kaine testify for 11 hours at a congressional hearing on the Million Moms March issue. Kaine even called himself "boring" on NBC's Meet The Press, following it up by saying, "But boring is the fastest-growing demographic in this country."
Comedian Sara Benincasa even wrote a book called Tim Kaine Is Your Nice Dad about it.
So the Million Mom March scandal is all explained. Now, let's focus on the Tim Kaine scandals that really matter, like why isn't he playing the harmonica more? The people need your sweet music, Tim!


Dr. Jairo Barrantes joins Ryan to talk about Academic Sleep Medicine including what he loves about it, what call looks like, and why he chose academia.
Jairo's interest in sleep medicine sparked during his pulmonary critical care fellowship, where their director was the head of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. That being said, a pulmonary physician has too little exposure to what sleep medicine really is including the different diseases you come across. Sleep medicine involves 80%-90% of sleep apnea. While the training you get as a pulmonologist is the sleep apnea part and not so much exposure to all other diseases that sleep medicine entails. This opened up different doors such as narcolepsy, parasomnia, and insomnia, which may up the main problems of sleep medicine today– but there are more others apparently, especially in children. Jairo describes sleep medicine as a very fine specialty where you get the opportunity to see all patients.
Jairo says that most people choose this specialty for being gentle in terms of not having any calls and you only get to work from Monday to Friday. You infrequently get phone calls from the sleep lab at night time. So many people choose this because of the lifestyle. However, what makes you a good physician is to have a good understanding of the pulmonary and brain physiology. We sleep 33% of our life so we sleep for many years. And that's part of the time that no one really cares about. That period of time, a lot of changes happen during our sleep. Metabolism slows down as well as your brain function and this has that recovery and immunology component.
Jairo explains that the reason many people die during their sleep is due to surges of stress once your metabolism goes down and when your body is already deconditioned, this can cause a heart attack.
You may choose to do only adults or only pediatrics, or both as what Jairo does. For the children, the most common concern would be sleeping difficulties. Childhood insomnia composes 80% of his consults. The rest would be children with sleep apnea. Interestingly, sleep apnea in children is often misdiagnosed as ADHD by primary care physicians and pediatricians and they prescribe the medication like stimulants to keep them awake and focused during the day. But the reality is that these kids are sleep-deprived and have got poor quality of sleep. That could be sleep apnea that hasn't been treated for years and have been in medication to keep them awake. Suddenly, you go ahead to treat the sleep apnea and the kid's behavior improves. In fact, about 40% of children that have been diagnosed with ADHD were actually suffering sleep apnea. The rest of the patients would then be dealing with parasomnias, which are irregular behaviors during sleep time such as banging of the head or entire body during sleep.
Obesity and narrow airways may cause sleep apnea and this is easier to notice among adults. However, there are other multiple solutions for this such as medication to help them sleep. Jairo also likes to use common devices like fitness trackers to help patients with insomnia so they can develop better sleep patterns. The key is to sleep right at the wrong time. For instance, teens go to sleep at around 1-2 am and wake up at 11 am. People think they're lazy, but they just have a different sleep pattern. Unfortunately, this is causing disrupting in schools. In fact, in Minnesota, people are having their children start school later at 9am-10am and they scored better in their standardized test because they perform better when not sleep-deprived.
Some people with parasomnia may act their dreams and they think they're playing karate in the middle of the night. That can be dangerous for the bed partner, or they can injure themselves since they're pretty much asleep when they're acting their dreams. And they could hurt themselves with sharp objects in the house, or fall off the mattress. Hence, these disorders should be treated.
Jairo admits to never having been back to the lab. The only time he needed was during their pulmonary fellowship. Most of the centers are outpatient sleep facilities. This makes it very convenient for people. In pediatric medicine, most of the fellowship are three years. So it's very attractive for them to have a one-year fellowship. Moreover, Jairo describes the salary is not bad at all for the amount of extra training you do after your internal medicine, pediatrics, or psychiatry, so it's very similar to primary specialties.
Depending on where you work, they bill time for sleep interpretation and you have your schedule close for a couple of hours so you can do the sleep studies for the night. Jairo also points out that many people stay away from sleep medicines due to economical reimbursement. It was better during its golden years some 20 years ago but Medicare adjusted the prices and now, you get a glorified internist salary without calls. Not bad at all, however, it wasn't as good as it used to be back then. That being said, still, it's a very mellow specialty to go through and the number of diseases is limited with about 20-25 conditions with different subdivisions compared to doing general internal medicine where you have to treat thousands of conditions.
Jairo would usually go to the office and most of the patients prefer to schedule their sleep studies early in the morning. So you do a sleep study interpretation from 8-11am. Then after the clinic from 11-12 for lunch, you go back to the clinic and finish at about 4 pm. You wrap up and then go home. This happens Monday to Friday. He still has enough time for his family as he still gets to take his daughter to ballet classes and other activities.
As to why he chose the academic setting, there are opportunities for research available. This is one area in the specialty where you can develop your career. And there are also plenty of areas to do research. Alternatively, you don't get the opportunity to do research in the private sector and you focus more on sleep apnea as that's where money is generated. So you need to be linked to an academy to be able to develop sleep research.
There is plenty of themes or areas that you can do it, but in order to develop that, you need a little bit of protected time, access to key people doing statistics and interpretation. You also need people to help coach you how to write articles properly. While the academic centers get more complicated cases. Hence, case reports are easier for them to make when from the academic side.
Additionally, Jairo loves to teach. He finds being attached to a center that has Sleep Fellowship as very gratifying.
There are different ways down the Sleep Medicine path. Initially, you have to have a base specialty and then you can apply for sleep medicine from there. You can become a sleep physician from being a general internalist or from general pediatrics. You can also come from pulmonary critical care, psychiatry, psychology, and neurology. So finish your basic specialty then do sleep medicine fellowship thereafter. You take the board for sleep medicine and become a Diplomate.
Jairo says that it's easy to find a job in sleep medicine because, in the last ten years, the doctors who were practicing sleep medicine weren't board-certified. Hence, they didn't have any formal training. And when the boards came, it was very difficult for those physicians practicing without formal training to pass the board. Those people shied away and they haven't studied again to be able to take the boards. Nevertheless, people don't realize it's a good specialty since it's easy to work with the schedule because it gives you a lot of flexibility. Plus, he gets to have weekends off. Also, the amount of RVU they can generate from the sleep is significantly higher than what you can generate from being a primary pulmonologist. This means they give you more forgiveness in time and still receive the same expectations from the hospital without working extended hours. Or if you're paid by incentive and reach a certain amount of RVUs a year, you're able to reach those RVUs with the sleep part which you will never reach just with the pulmonary part alone or psychiatry work, whichever specialty you have.
Matching into sleep medicine is not competitive at all. People don't even know what sleep medicine is. But Jairo thinks it's going to surge once people getting paid with these RVUs. There are about 60 programs that are eligible and out of those, about 60% get filled.
There isn't much opportunity to subspecialize once you get into sleep medicine. You basically choose your niche of practice usually depending on your background. For instance, if your background is neurology, you usually focus on circadian rhythm disorders, seizures, and movement disorders during the sleep compared to doing sleep apnea. In Jairo's case, he does mostly sleep apnea and uses of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation at night. He also does what he calls as special populations like children who have facial malformations or other conditions that leave them with very narrow airways and have severe sleep apnea that requires tracheostomies, advanced ventilators, or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation at nighttime, especially patients with APS who become dependent on those during both nighttime and daytime.
Jairo wishes primary care physicians would realize that sleep medicine is more than a sleep apnea. But that's not what just the sleep medicine entails. It's more than just prescribing the CPAP or the BIPAP. A lot of knowledge is involved and a lot of different opportunities to treat the patient better. Additionally, there are many diseases that are preventable or better treated when you have a better sleep pattern at night. For example, if you have diabetes and your sleep apnea is controlled thereby giving you good sleep, your insulin requirements go down by 30-40%. The same happens to people with hypertension where they notice some drop in the amount of medication required for hypertension when they're treated for sleep apnea or insomnia. If they're able to understand this, primary care physicians would be more enticed to know more about sleep medicine so they can do basic practice in their practice, says Jairo. As a general internist, you can prescribe the CPAP and sleep study. But if you have the basic knowledge and interest in that, then you won't have to refer to a sleep specialist, which can be very difficult to find these days. In fact, it may take up to 6-8 months to get a sleep specialist available. This actually discourages patients to pursue any longer since they can't find anybody to see them.
Other specialties they work the closest with are mostly pulmonologist, bariatric surgeons, psychiatrists, and child psychiatrists. They also work with neurologists for patients with ALS or spinal trauma. They do work with cardiologists as well as endocrinology. They're trying to get better control of irregular heartbeat at nighttime or daytime and this decreases the frequency of relapses of atrial fibrillation after ablation when sleep apnea is being treated.
One area would be commercial devices. They're looking for people developing new technologies. If you get to work with one of the companies that develop non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, there are opportunities to go into the commercial or research side. You would now be part of the protocol. But if your center is standardized and needs to forfeit all of the conditions of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, you will be able to get research going on in your lab. There are private doctors who decide to devote all of their time or 80% of their practice to do the case being paid by the research study.
When he did his residency in internal medicine as an intern, one of the sleep doctors gave them a talk about sleep medicine and didn't mention about it and he was making good money at that time. Today, the population they work with include patients that are very gratifying as it enhanced their quality of life. Although there are some that complain, the majority are still grateful for what you do for them. Interestingly, you don't need to see your sleep patients very frequently. You may only seem them every year and they can do very well with that.
What he likes the most about his specialty is the schedule. Interestingly, Jairo doesn't find anything that he doesn't like about his specialty. He enjoys every single minute he's at work. Maybe, having patient with insomnia that is very difficult to treat can be upsetting for him so you can end up being a dispenser of control medications for them. But as far as you do your job right, most of your patients get well.
People are becoming more aware of the wellness and lifestyle so sleep medicine is going to start growing more and more. And perhaps in the next 10-20 years, physicians are going to be very aware of the benefits of having a good quality of sleep. Hopefully, there will be more physicians coming to learn what sleep medicine is and practice it. This will lead to better reimbursement and more opportunity to treat other people.
If he had to do it all over again, he'd still do it. In fact, he would even do it first over the pulmonary part if he'd just have to take sleep medicine. Although he loves pulmonary, he finds sleep medicine as more gratifying.
Jairo says that sleep medicine is a wonderful field where you can achieve many personal goals in relation to your career. Career is significantly easier when you do it from the sleep part because there is a blank canvas to be painted compared to other specialties. So this is a fine specialty to pursue.

Women's World Boxing Championship: Mary Kom beats Hanna Okhota to clinch record 6th gold medal

Legendary India boxer Mary Kom beat Ukraine's Hanna Okhota in the final to win the gold medal in the 48Kg category at the Women's World Boxing Championship in New Delhi on Saturday.
Mary thumped Okhota by unanimous verdict to win the title for an unprecedented sixth time. Cheered on by the partisan fans in the capital, Mary blew away her Ukrainian counterpart in three rounds to take the crown.
Mary now takes the top spot in the list of most World Championship title victories. Before this, Mary was tied with Ireland's Katie Taylor with five titles each. But now, Mary is in the league of her own with six gold medals – 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2018.
In total, Mary has now won seven medals at World Championships and this is also a tournament record. The 35-year-old Manipuri, a mother of three, won silver in the first edition, followed by five gold in successive World Championships from 2002 to 2010 and now this latest gold in 2018.
With this gold, 'Magnificent Mary' also matched Cuban men's legend Felix Savon as the joint most successful pugilist (men and women) in the World Championships history.
Following the end of her bout, an emotional Mary thanked the crowd present at the venue, who witnessed her create history in the capital.
"I want to thank the fans who turned up today (Saturday) to cheer me. They have been supporting me for the last many years," Mary said trying to hold back her tears.
