Woman arrested for admission swindle
A woman has been arrested for fraud after she allegedly swindled her landlord out of more than 500,000 yuan (US$74,459) by promising to help his daughter gain enrolment at a good primary school, the Minhang District People's Procuratorate said yesterday.
The woman, surnamed Gu, played different roles such as the school's academic affairs department director, two teachers and her 'father' who was an executive at a local public institution to contact the victim Sun and his wife on WeChat.
According to prosecutors, Sun, a manager at a local company who has several properties in Shanghai, was looking for a good primary school for his school-age daughter in 2017.
His tenant Gu told him that her father was a well-connected public institution executive.
She told Sun that her father knew the head of a famous primary school in Minhang and could help with the enrolment of his daughter.
She then asked Sun for 30,000 yuan, and later demanded more luxury gifts such as iPhones to 'grease the wheels.'
Gu also set up a WeChat group for the couple with a few 'school staff' and her 'father,' all played by herself.
Gu also used the account of her 'father' to borrow money from Sun's wife several times.
However, in March last year, the couple realized the admission letter she had given them was fake and reported the matter to the police.

It is hardly a big secret that it is hard to find good developers. And that salaries for these developers have steadily been increasing over the past years. Faster than other salaries, as well. This is just how the market works, so what's the big deal about it?
In our whitepaper about the IT Shortage we give a lot of background on the ever growing shortage of developers and solutions. But let's focus on just the main issue at hand: the shortage itself. Most people I talk to only experience developer salaries going up and the fact that it is hard to find developers on the labor market. A very interesting number however, is the actual absolute shortage.
Last year the number of software engineering students graduating in the US was 50.000. Universities have been estimated to be able to educate 8 times that amount by 2020, meaning 400.000 software engineering students graduate that year. So far, so good.
The problem becomes apparent when we look at the amount of job openings in the labor market for software engineers. In 2016 the number of job openings was 223.000 in the US. Gartner estimates that this number will grow up to 1.400.000 in 2020. In other words, last year 23% of job openings could be covered by graduate students, in 2020 still only 28% of job openings can be covered by graduate students.
That's hardly an improvement. In the chart below I have plotted these numbers so you can easily see the problem.
Because the most detailed data was available for the US, I have used that data. However, similar numbers are found in almost every other developed country around the world.
The increase in demand for software developers can be attributed to growth in many sectors that require software. The biggest growth is in the demand for custom software. In 2011 the world-wide demand for custom software was USD 43 billion. This grew with 33% per year to a whopping USD 136 billion in 2015.
This growth is expected to continue due to globalization forcing ever more companies to distinguish themselves from ever more competitors. One way to do this, is with custom built software that implements their unique business processes.
Below is a chart that shows this growth from 2011 through 2015.
The combination of higher demand versus ever increasing developer salaries is a toxic one. Ultimately it means that only the richest of companies can afford to hire enough developers to keep their competitors at bay.
These front-runners can easily expand their lead, leading to more revenue. This revenue can then be used to pay developers even more, making sure they don't go to the competitor. Companies that cannot cope with the increases in developer costs, will be sentenced to mere mediocrity.


Decisions regarding the type of special education services to be provided and the educational placement for the provision of such services are based upon a student's individual need. Students with disabilities are educated in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) that is most appropriate for them.
All decisions regarding the placement of a child with a disability in a special education service delivery model are made by the child's IEP team in consultation with the parents or guardians of the child and consistent with the LRE requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). A variety of special education service delivery models are available beginning with full participation in the general education classroom to the extent possible - often with the provision of supplementary aids and support - as determined by the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team.
Related Services are support services that may be required to assist a student with a disability to benefit from his or her special education program. If a student does not need special education, related services cannot be provided through an IEP. The student's related services needs are part of the IEP, which will specify the amount and type of service the student is to receive. Related services may include counseling services, speech or language, and hearing, transportation, assistive technology, physical and occupational therapy. Related services are available on a continuum of service delivery models, which include: consultation, classroom collaboration and/or therapy, and small group and individual therapy.

On Personal Identity, Memory and Responsibility - Report
سه شنبه, ۱ دی ۱۳۹۴، ۰۹:۲۴ ب.ظ
Asking about personal identity and its implications are of central questions in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and undoubtedly theology and eschatology. The essential components of this enquiry can be articulated by these questions: Who am I? What am I constituted of? What does differentiate me from others? How do I persist through time? Based on the responses to these enquiries various philosophical accounts of personal identity have been shaped: Substance Dualism, Property Dualism, Predicate Dualism, Continuity of Consciousness, Psychological Continuity, Bundle Theory, and No-Self Theory, to name a few. One of the essential problems in personal identity is identity persistence through time. This problem, which can be articulated as identicalness of an individual at time T1 to an individual at time T2, has significant implications for subsequent questions in the fields of ethics and philosophy of law. The proposed resolution for this problem brings out its practical consequences in ethics, agency, and responsibility.
In Western philosophy, Descartes is considered as who discussed the problem of personal identity in an early modern way, but the enquiry about identity persistence can be credited to John Locke by founding the memory theory of personal identity in his notable work 'Essays Concerning Human Understanding'. Interestingly, for Locke the concept of personality pertained to forensic issues as he expressed that "Person is a forensic term"(Hume 1690, 120). It means that the importance of enquiries about personal identity and persistence are prerequisites for resolving the problem of moral and forensic responsibilities. In Locke's view, it is sufficient for one to be morally responsible for an action if she has the same personal identity as the performer of that deed. Then he claimed that having the same consciousness is essential for the persistence of personal identity through time. For a person to have the same identity, Locke introduced a principle on 'consciousness' and its interrupter 'forgetfulness'. This criterion that later became renowned as the 'Memory Criterion' of personal identity can be expressed as follows: person P2 at time T2 is identical to person P1 in earlier time T1 if P2 can remember sufficiently from what has happened to person P1 at T1 (Hume 1690, 115-116).
Thomas Reid, famous for his investigations on metaphysics of personal identity, criticised and rejected memory criterion by objecting that this criterion suffers from circularity. He argued that the memory criterion is neither sufficient nor necessary for the numerical persistence of one's personal identity. His argument on rejecting the memory criterion can be articulated like this: for memory criterion to be plausible, any analysis of P2 to be the same person as P1 by remembering what happened to P1 at T1 entails identicalness of P2 and P1 as given. He also argued for intransitivity of memory by exemplifying a brave officer who captured a standard in his first battle but had been beaten when he was a schoolboy in his younger ages while officer later in his older ages became a general. Although the officer was conscious of having been beaten in school and although he as a general was conscious of been granted a standard because of hi bravery in his first battle, it is possible for him as a general not to remember his having been beaten in school. By this example, Reid showed that although personal identity is transitive by intuition, the memory criterion does not. Therefore, Lock's account is contradictory (Reid 1785, 147-148). Before Reid, Joseph Butler in the first dissertation of his apologetics work 'Analogy of Religion' raised a similar objection on Lock's account. He refused consciousness and memory to be constitutive of personal identity and claimed that consciousness does presuppose personal identity (Butler 1736, 222).
To respond to the circularity charge, Sydney Shoemaker introduced a modification to the memory criterion. To conciliate the memory criterion with transitivity, Shoemaker proposed the concept of quasi-memory or quasi-remembering (Shoemaker 1970). Derek Parfit made the second modification to the memory criterion by extending the scope of personal identity to human intention, future actions and responsibility. By these modifications, Parfit transferred the memory criterion into psychological continuity criterion (Parfit 1984). Although psychological continuity criterion resolved some issues that were persisted in previous accounts but encountered some counterintuitive contradictions, especially in answering hypothetical brain transplanting cases. In response to this objection, Parfit expressed that personal persistence is not essential, but it is the survival that is crucial for us (Parfit 1987).
In recent decades, our knwoledge about the nature and functionality of memory has been improved extensively. Nowadays we categorise human memory into three main types. The short-lasting one named sensory memory, which captures information from our five senses and keeps them enough to be transferred to the next type: short-term or working memory. The long-lasting type of memory named long-term memory that may last for the whole life. Long-term memory divides into implicit or procedural memory that is our unconscious memory, and explicit or declarative memory that is our conscious memory. Procedural memory contains memories of our skills and procedural tasks like riding a bicycle or playing piano. Declarative memory constitutes semantic memory that is for knowing and remembering facts and concepts; and episodic memory that is for remembering events and experiences. The episodic memory provides us an essential ability that is referred to by 'autobiographic memory' which is the capacity to remembering events in our life from the first person point of view.
The fundamental shift in our understanding of the functionality and the role of memory in personal identity happened when new empirical and introspective findings showed that our autobiographic memory is not like a warehouse of data. Memory, not like what some proponents of psychological continuity theory claimed, is not a mere depository of events and experiences, but it provide us with summarised, condensed story of our life as a coherent and consistent narrative from the first person point of view. It means that our recent findings of human's memory do not support psychological continuity theory (Schechtman 1994).
In remembering a specific experience or event, it is my episodic memory that narrates my involvement and interaction with the world, which does not exist at present time. Therefore, this kind of memory shapes the conception of my personal life by proving the crucial ability of 'mental time travel', not only backwards in history but also forward to imagine the consequences of my decisions. This mental capability, which arises from the nature of the episodic memory, is fundamental for my ethical and forensic responsibility. Furthermore, in this view, for the persistence of identity neither complete nor accurate remembering of a past deed is needed, but only a robust causal connectedness between our experiences at time T1 in the past and psychological states at time T2, say at the moment, is required.
Many philosophical accounts of personal identity underline the importance of consciousness and memory in specifying the concepts of personal identity and persistence. Although we can follow back the path of enquiries about personal identity to many centuries ago, notable progress in our knowledge of different types of memory has extended these enquiries extensively in recent decades. This report has reviewed and analysed the outstanding accounts on personal identity and persistence with a focus on the role of memory in human agency and responsibility, as well as their practical consequences. Through the report, it has been claimed that personal identity consists of the body, psychological characteristics and memory. It has also been discussed that although episodic and autobiographic memory is central to a personal narrative of our life, our identity is not causally relied on them although they are crucial for personal identity, and ethical and forensic responsibilities.

Abbott Fuller Graves was born in Weymouth, Maine and determined early to become a great painter of flowers. His formal art training began in Boston and continued in Paris, where in 1884 he and Edmund Tarbell made their initial study trip abroad. He sought out the most famous flower painter of Paris, Georges Jeannin, to critique his work and eventually joined Tarbell at the Académie Julian, where he studied with Fernand Cormon, Henri Gervex and Jean Paul Laurens. He and Tarbell continued to travel and study together in Europe with frequent trips home to Boston, and Tarbell remained a life-long friend and a major influence.
In 1886, Graves began teaching at the Cowles Art School in Boston, where Childe Hassam was also on the faculty and he too became another important influence. Teaching was to remain a major part of Graves' career; in 1891, he opened his own art school in Boston, which he later moved to Kennebunkport, Maine. Kennebunkport provided a new source of inspiration for Graves' pictures. Though he continued with the garden and flower subjects on which his reputation had been built, the village and its inhabitants prompted a broadening of subject matter into what we think of today as genre painting. He closed his art school in 1902 and went back to Paris, working there as a commercial illustrator for French magazines between 1902 and 1905, spending summers in Holland and England, and winning a medal in the Paris Salon of 1905. The next year, the Graves' built a "grand house" in Kennebunkport, in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. The genre paintings, which had been successful for prints and advertising, gave way to a concentration, once again, on his first love--flowers and gardens, which he was painting with a new luminosity and color.
In 1920, the Graves' moved to New York after a show there had established his national reputation. In spite of the rising tide of Modernism in art, Graves' poetic flower-filled and dream-like visions held their appeal for critics as well as patrons through the 1920's. He continued to paint his beloved flowers until his death in 1936, but the combination of the Depression and the vogue for more outré visions had made severe inroads in his success and reputation. Though he never attained the fame and success of his friends Tarbell and Hassam, Graves was nevertheless a painter of note, especially during the 1920's.
Always gregarious, he held memberships in a number of prestigious art groups; the North Shore Arts Association, Copley Society of Boston, a life member of the National Arts Club, Boston Society of Water Color Painters, Boston Art Students Association, the American Art Association of Paris, Allied Artists of America, and the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts among them. These memberships were finally crowned in 1926 when he was voted into the National Academy of Design as an Associate, and could add "A.N.A." to his signature.
His awards, in addition to his Paris Salon medal, include The Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics Association (1887, 1892), Exposition des Beaux Arts, Paris (1905 medal), Salmagundi Club (1933), and a number of one-man exhibitions in Boston and New York, including four at Vose Galleries (1924, 1925, 1929, 1932). The Brick Store Museum of Kennebunk, Maine featured his work in an exhibit in 1979.

(Updated to add the following piccie etc) Just quickly popped over to see if any new exchanges had been received on the SBEBB, and it looks like Annette has received the biscornu I stitched for her … as I mentioned before, it turned out to be a lot bigger than I expected, but it still looks OK. I used a DMC variegated thread (which is one of my favourite colourways) and added some beads for extra effect. It's another conglomeration of a few designs – the infamous Indigo Rose freebie that I can't seem to get enough of just lately (you may recognise elements from my pinkeep in the centre) – as well as part of a cushion design in a Stitchers World magazine from years ago (Earth Laughs by designer Anne Stanton). I ended up leaving off the tassels because it looked too fussy. Here is the photo of the finished front, and the actual stitching (I won't bother showing the back).
I can't believe that's all there is to go now, before I fly out – 3 sleeps, woohoo!! And during my visit I'll hopefully be meeting Nicki and Kerry from the blogging world in Auckland – that will be wonderful! 😀 As well as that, I've got an appointment set up already for me to see my old Physiotherapist, who is going to manipulate my back/neck and hopefully help to get it back in alignment again – I used to see him just for 1 or 2 visits yearly, and that would get me through the whole next year … but I haven't been for 2 years now, and my neck has been giving me grief for months now – every morning I wake up with neck pain and feel like I haven't slept properly … and sometimes the pain wakes me up during the night … can't wait to get that 'clicked' back in again, it's going to be sheer bliss!!
Nothing really to report – there will be no blog reading tonight (or stitching, for that matter), as I'm on a short turnaround time for my shifts, ie I finish work at 6pm (and won't be home until about 7pm), and have to be asleep by 9pm at the latest in order to try and get 8 hours sleep, as I move to my 6am shifts. I think I'll be sleeping my first 24 hours in NZ haha.
No stitching or blogging done yesterday either, as I forgot I had a training day in the city from 9-5, and met up with a friend for drinks after we finished, as she works in the same building as the training – we then decided to have dinner at the Rose Garden in Elizabeth Street … a very cheap and 'nasty' Asian eating place that has very very nice food – it was a great treat, and a wonderful night catching up. Unfortunately Hayles has decided to move to Perth, though, so she will be winging her way over to the west coast in July. Just means I'll have to make an effort and go for a holiday over there – which I'd love to do, as I've always wanted to visit Perth.
I'm still waiting for my SB&B orders to arrive – using my birthday money, plus a second treat in the next sale not long after … in both cases there is just one thing that is out of stock – one item has been "in transit from the supplier" for quite some time now (I didn't realise you still use the Pony Express in the US haha), and the other one still on back order … there were some items in there I wanted for my last two exchanges, plus I'm getting a bit impatient, so I've asked for everything else to be shipped, and have the others sent later with some extra fabric I've just ordered (a fat 1/4 each of 32ct and 28ct Lavender Bliss). Hopefully they'll arrive some time soon after I get home from NZ.
Anyway, time to shut up and get ready for work – I'm really rambling on about nothing just to wake up, I think, and I didn't sleep too well last night … maybe I should head to work early and pick up a cappuccino on the way to truly wake up!

Home/News/USA News/Congress presses MTA on camera malfunctions during Brooklyn subway shooting
Congress presses MTA on camera malfunctions during Brooklyn subway shooting
United News Team April 20, 2022
A group of Congress members, including three from New York City, pressed the MTA for answers in a blistering letter Wednesday about why the cameras were malfunctioning during last week's horrific subway attack in Sunset Park — especially when the agency has millions in federal dollars for security.
When accused gunman Frank James opened fire on a crowded N train on April 12, wounding 29 people, including 10 who were shot, malfunctioning surveillance cameras at the 36th Street station hindered cops' manhunt, sources told The Post.
MTA Chairman Janno Lieber blamed bad "internet connection" for the delayed retrieval of surveillance footage and said the media was wrong to focus on the faulty camera systems.
Reps. Ritchie Torres, Yvette Clarke and Hakeem Jeffries all signed the letter, along with 10 other members of Congress, addressed to Lieber.
"As you are aware, Congress increased the Transit Security Grant Program [TSGP] funding by $5 million to $93 million in the recently enacted Fiscal Year 2022 Omnibus spending package," the letter exclusively obtained by The Post said, adding the grant program provided the city's public transportation system "almost $50 million" in 2020 and 2021.
"How has the MTA utilized TSGP funding historically, and particularly over the last two fiscal years?" the letter asked. "How much TSGP funding has been specifically allocated for the MTA's camera system, including maintenance of the system, installation of cameras and updating the cameras?"
Rep. Yvette Clarke also supported a letter urging the MTA to protect the "lifeblood of New York City," from attacks.
William Farrington
The letter also asked how often the cameras are audited by the MTA or a third-party, and what sort of timeline the agency has to address identified problems.
"With an average of over 2 million daily riders, the subway system is the lifeblood of New York City. Although the suspect responsible for this attack has been arrested, it is imperative that we have systems in place to keep riders safe and ensure attacks like this never happen again," the pols wrote.
Transit officials boasted last year that the MTA has cams in every station, but many stations, including the 36th Street station where the attack occurred, don't have cameras pointed at platforms.
The MTA has been criticized for allowing broken surveillance cameras to operate.
J.C. Rice
Last week's tragedy wasn't the only time MTA cameras failed victims. Chris Anguisaca, who was stabbed in the eye on an A train on Feb. 14, said cops told him subway cameras don't work north of 190th Street — which the MTA has since denied.
Anguisaca, 19, said the suspect fled when the A train pulled into the Dyckman Street station.
"There should be cameras, especially in the train station," he said.
Rep. Ritchie Torres was among those who signed a letter demanding answers from the MTA.
Lev Radin/Sipa USA
Rebecca Lamorte, 30, told The Post that she's been attacked on the subway twice and told both times the cameras weren't working.
The pols made their message to Lieber clear: "Given the disturbing and continued rise of subway attacks this year, we write to urge you to be more transparent regarding how your agency utilizes Federal funding to secure the subway system and protect riders."

Q: Square numbers with a form of $p^{2n+1} + q^{2n+1}$, where p, q are prime numbers and n is a positive integer Recently I came across a difficult problem:

Let $n$ be a fixed positive integer and $p, q$ be different prime numbers. Can $p^{2n+1} + q^{2n+1}$ be a square number?

When I wrote a python program, I found some solutions like (11, 37), (1801, 56999), (6637, 86291), and so on for $n = 1$. For $n > 1$, however, I could find no solutions. Are there any solutions for $n > 1$? I tried to prove or give counterexamples (perhaps $p+q \mid p^{2n+1} + q^{n+1}$ is a useful fact?), but I have no idea to solve this problem.
Context: When I was a high-school student, I see a similar problem: "Prove $p^{2n} + q^{2n}$ is not a square number." (An easier problem than the topic problem.) I forgot about this problem recently, but I came across the problem when I was reading a book (mock exam) I read in my high-school days. Perhaps the phrase "came across" was a bit inappropriate, because I changed the original problem into a more difficult problem when I was a high-school student.

The results of many national and statewide races from Tuesday's midterm election have been called, and Oakland residents—who voted mostly for Democrats—are cautiously celebratory.
Frances Read, vice chairman of the East Bay Democratic Socialists of America, said she and people in her circle view this election as a win. "We took on the millionaire class who spent a huge amount of money to defeat us, and we put up a huge fight. We had really in-depth conversations with our neighbors, and the turnout was impressive," Read said.
Cass said her organization plans to continue to support California Senator Dianne Feinstein (D), who won re-election with 54.3 percent of the vote, with challenger State Senator Kevin de León (D) behind by almost nine percentage points, according to the California Secretary of State's website as of Wednesday morning, with 97.2 percent of precincts reporting.
California voters also cast their ballots for 53 House seats—39 of which were held by Democrats, and 14 by Republicans. As of Wednesday morning, 39 Democrat candidates have won House seats, with three more leading. Seven Republican seats have been won, with four more leading.
Californians also voted for a new governor. Gavin Newsom, a former San Francisco mayor, defeated Republican businessman John Cox by double digits, receiving 59.4 percent of the vote. During his campaign, Newsom said that addressing income inequality, housing, homelessness and health care would be his major priorities as governor. In his campaign, Cox portrayed Newsom as the embodiment of the out-of-touch political elite.
One of the biggest choices on the state ballot was Proposition 10, an initiative that would have expanded the power of local governments to adopt rent control. But voters defeated the initiative, preserving the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which prohibits cities from mandating rent control over certain residential units, including single family homes and newly-constructed units. Just 38 percent of Alameda County residents voted in favor of Proposition 10, suggesting that repealing Costa-Hawkins wasn't the sole fix to the housing crisis voters were looking for.
Read said that she is "extremely unhappy" that Proposition 10 was defeated. "That was another thing that was bought. Rent control is an issue that is overwhelmingly supported by voters, and the methods used to get it struck down were extremely duplicitous. This is not the end of this fight," she said.
Terence Long, communications director with the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, an Oakland nonprofit that focuses on restorative justice for people of color, said he was also disappointed Proposition 10 didn't pass, but that his and other organizations will be continuing to fight for affordable housing in Oakland.
In a tight race, newcomer Marshall Tuck bested Bay Area native Tony Thurmond in his bid to become California's Superintendent of Public Instruction. Thurmond received 49.3 percent of the vote to Tuck's 50.7. But in Alameda County, Thurmond—who was endorsed by the California Democratic Party —received 64.7 percent of the vote.

Sainvil delivers new visual for "Need 2"
The song follows his "HBK" track featuring Melii.
By Regina Cho
Last year, Sainvil treated his fans to an EP and also his collaboration with Melii "HBK." He's now back with his first offering of 2021, his new single "Need 2." Tinted with with hues of blue and orange, its new official visual helps to accurately depict the foggy line between love and hate. Over some spacey production, Sainvil airs out his frustrations:
Why you showin out for all these people? The same one's that wasn't on the previews. Even though you know I got to see you. I need to, I need to, they called my old bitch back won't hear from me. This one bitch now, been fuckin' her for days. She told me that I am her escape. Quit playin' now so we can run away.
Directed by LVTRKEVIN, the video takes viewers through a visual representation of when enough is enough. "We find my girlfriend and I trapped in a cycle of arguments and love which is inspired by my own love lows," said Sainvil about the visual. In October, Sainvil released his 2020 Was Hijacked EP and the seven-track project included guest features from Boogie and Melii.
After that was the video for the aforementioned "HBK." The accompanying MARZ-directed visual sees Sainvil and Melii battling to fight the tension between them, but they ultimately give in at the end and they can't help but to let their inhibitions go. "HBK" stands for Heartbreak Kid, which is a reference to the famous professional wrestler Shawn Michaels. Via press release, Sainvil states the song's title and video are a metaphor for the guy who desperately wants to be emotionally unattached as well as belong to the streets, but in actuality, he just wants to devote to that special someone.
Be sure to watch Sainvil's new video "Need 2" down below.

We interviewed Dara Chadwick about her new book — title above — because, simply, we were wowed. It's a great read not only for moms, but for any woman who would benefit from talking to herself more positively about her body, her self. Just imagine you're your own daughter.
What inspired you to write You'd Be So Pretty If….?
I was inspired to write You'd Be So Pretty If…after I wrote a column during my year as Shape magazine's Weight-Loss Diarist. In it, I wrote about how my mom had felt about her body and how that affected me – and how my feelings about my body were affecting my daughter, who was 11 at the time.
What do you see as its basic message?
The book's message is that the way moms treat – and talk about – their own bodies has a direct effect on how girls feel about their bodies, both now and in the future. It doesn't blame moms; instead, it asks moms to recognize that they're setting a body image example for their daughters and it offers useful advice for how to be a healthy example.
How can moms encourage their daughters to be the best version of themselves when there are so many messages telling them how they should look? Besides role modeling, how can we give them a realistic picture of what health looks like?
Role modeling healthy self-acceptance is key, but you're right – there are lots of influences out there other than our own. It's so important to talk with our girls about what they're seeing in the media and what they're hearing from friends and classmates. In the book, I offer tips for teaching girls to look at and think critically about media images, as well as tips for dealing with peers and boys. Above all, though, the book is full of ideas for modeling healthy behavior toward our own bodies – what and how we eat, our exercise habits, how we talk about ourselves and how to make peace with our own body image legacy.
What most surprised you in your interviews with mothers and daughters?
I can't say I was surprised by this, but I was in awe of the deep love expressed — by both mothers and daughters — for each other. The moms I talked to clearly love their girls and want them to grow up feeling good about who they are. At the same time, most daughters adore their moms and think they're beautiful, just as they are. Now imagine how those girls feel when they hear us put ourselves down.
What can moms do to not feel too worried or guilty that anything they do or say might negatively affect their daughter's self image?
How much should you talk about body image with your kids? Should you let them come to you, or bring up the topic regularly?
I think if you're actively working on modeling acceptance of your own body and good choices, you don't need to bring up the topic of body image – and definitely avoid conversations about dieting, the scale, cutting calories, etc. Make it about health. But if she comes to you and wants to talk, I'd absolutely go with it. Let her know she can come to you and talk about this stuff whenever she needs to.
should get it." If she doesn't like it, I'll say something like, "Well, it's OK." I never criticize or point out that an outfit is unflattering to a particular part of her body…and I try to never point out particular styles as ones that would help "camouflage" certain parts. If I want to guide her to a particular style, I just say, "I think that would look great on you." And sometimes, she tries it and agrees!
Do you think the messages in this book can be helpful to women who have sons? If so, how?
I do think the messages in this book can be helpful to women who have sons (and to fathers of daughters, too). During the year I was actively trying to lose weight for the Shape column, my son was watching, too, and would often say things like, "How many calories does this have, mom?" He also once asked me if he was a "good weight." Boys are absolutely paying attention to our eating and exercise example, and to how we talk about our bodies. They feel their own body image pressures and although they may not be the same as those that girls feel, they're pressures nonetheless.
Do you see this book being useful to women who don't have daughters (or sons)? If so, how?
I've heard from a few women who've read the book who don't have children. One in particular said to me, "I understand myself and why I feel the way I do about my body so much better now." If you struggle with body image, reflecting on the legacy that your mom passed on can be a really helpful way to begin to make peace with your body. Again, this is so not a book that blames moms; mothering is a tough job and we all do the best we can. Instead, the book simply asks moms to be conscious of the body image example they're setting. It's an example that lasts a lifetime.
What difference has writing this book made in your life and that of your daughter's?
I've learned so much about myself – and my daughter – through writing this book. She was very much a part of the process; we talked about what would be included and what wouldn't, and she read the book long before it was published. I've learned that my example (in all things, not only in how I treat my body) has a huge impact on both of my children and I try to live every day with that in mind. I'm not perfect and I never will be, but I try to be conscious of my choices. And even though my own mother passed away years ago, I feel like I understand her (and miss her!) more and more as I parent my own children.
Anything else you'd like to our readers to know?
I just want readers to remember that we don't have to be perfect – whether it's an image we've taken from the media or simply an ideal we hold in our own heads – to be happy. Just be content with being the healthiest, best version of yourself…and teach your daughter to do the same.
A good balance between eating well and staying active is what I vote for. No need for dieting or even 'exercising' if we're doing that. Of course, I'm talking about exercise as it is commonly thought of negatively — forced workouts that we do for weight purposes. It all works so much better if we just live healthy lifestyles and enjoy.

Sometimes doing my hair in the midst of an Atlantan summer feels like THE most pointless exercise. It's on a mission to lie flat as can be on my scalp even in the best of weather, so usually during summer months, I just throw it up in a bun and call it a day. Glamorous, I know.
BUT! On the occasions when humidity allows, I've got a really easy go-to style that looks good even as it falls a little, and with the help of lovely Elisa Restea and The Photography of Haley Sheffield, that's what I'm sharing today!
The key to acheiving even and quick curls or waves lies completely in sectioning. Basically, it breaks your work down for you into manageable segments that ensure you don't miss a single spot - especially when it comes to the tricky business of curling the hair on the back of your head!
Begin by sectioning the top of your head; use the pointed end of your teasing comb and run it across the back of your head from the top of one ear top the other, separating your hair into 2 large sections.
Now separate your top section further by running the tip of your comb from the center of your forehead straight to the crown of your head. That divides your top section in half. Aaaand we're gonna do that yet again on each half! The gator clips come in handy at this point for sure; twist and clip to keep things nice and separate as you're working. It's a great idea to use your ear as the dividing line - run the comb from the back of your ear to the top of your center part and clip each of the two sections you create. Repeat on the other side.
Phew! Now curling's a snap!
I like to lightly back comb each section with my teasing comb before I lightly mist it with hairspray - it gives some volume and texture, which can help curls hang in there during summer weather.
And we're curlin'! If you're just beginning to get the hang of curling, go ahead and use your curling barrel's clamp - no need to burn your fingers by wrapping strands around the barrel! You pros out there, feel free to wrap away.
Begin with your two bottom sections, grabbing about three inch pieces of hair for each curl. Roll away from your face to get waves (rolling towards your face gives a slightly retro-looking curl). Completely curl one section, then take a clip out of the next and get to work again! Six sections, slight teasing, sculpting hairspray, curling away from your face and towards the back of your head. Boom.
Once every section is curled (hooray!) spray a final mist (hairspray OR salt spray) over your hair and then run either your fingers or a detangling brush through your hair to loosen your curls slightly. You can set with hairspray AGAIN if you like, but that's really only if your hair's stubborn as can be about holding curl.
End result: loose, casual, touchable waves that provide sweet style without smacking of effort!
Elisa seems to like them, no?

US COVID-19 deaths could hit 400k by end of February, model finds

The U.S. has recorded about 10.3 million confirmed infections, with new cases soaring to all-time highs of well over 120,000 per day over the past week. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File)
DALLAS (NEXSTAR) — A popular model referenced by the White House is projecting around 400,000 COVID-related deaths in the United States by the end of February 2021.
Forecasts from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, an independent global health research organization at the University of Washington School of Medicine, show deaths steadily climbing as we enter what health experts have labeled a "dark winter."
The model shows a best-case scenario of 370,000 fatalities and worst-case projection of 425,000 deaths based on current health guidelines. The IMHE model predicts roughly 60,000 lives could be saved with a universal mask mandate.
This news comes as the U.S. exceeds 240,000 deaths. Back in April, President Donald Trump noted that was on the high side of expected human losses with mitigation during the coronavirus pandemic. Obviously, the number continues to grow.
The U.S. hit 240k #COVID19 deaths on Wednesday.

The U.S. has recorded more than 10.3 million confirmed infections, with new cases soaring to all-time highs of well over 120,000 per day over the past week. Health experts have blamed the increase in part on the onset of cold weather and growing frustration with mask-wearing and other precautions.
Study says these venues have highest COVID-19 risk
Cases per day are on the rise in 49 states, and deaths per day are climbing in 39. A month ago, the U.S. was seeing about 730 COVID-19 deaths per day on average; that has now surpassed 970.
Among the many health officials sounding the alarm was Dr. Julie Watson of Integris Health in Oklahoma.
"We are in trouble," she said. "If nothing is done soon to slow the rise in cases, our hospitals will be more overwhelmed than they already are and we won't be able to be there for all of those who need it."
Oklahoma's health department said Wednesday that 1,248 people were hospitalized for confirmed or probable coronavirus, shattering the previous one-day record of 1,055.
US allows 1st emergency use of a COVID-19 antibody drug
The American Medical Association renewed its plea for mask-wearing, physical distancing, and frequent hand-washing.
"With the holidays quickly approaching, each of us must do everything possible to reduce the spread of COVID-19," AMA President Susan Bailey said. "Failing to do our part will prolong the suffering and disruption to our lives and inevitably lead to more deaths of our friends, neighbors and loved ones."

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (WFFF) - Nearly 500 people were vaccinated Monday in Plattsburgh, and New York state officials are hoping to keep that pace throughout week one of the rollout. They eventually want to ramp up the number of daily doses but that's dependent on how much of the vaccine is received from the federal government.
"It's no longer a conversation about it happening, it is actually happening," said Plattsburgh Town Supervisor Michael Cashman.
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- There are 10 new cases of the coronavirus within the Albany City School District.
One case is associated with a fifth-grade classroom at New Scotland Elementary School. This individual was last in the building Jan. 12 and is now quarantined at home. The Albany County Health Department has identified 33 additional contacts with this case. As a result, all fifth-grade classes at New Scotland will be in a distance learning model through Friday, Jan. 22.

Macroscale "continuum" level predictions are made by a new way to construct computationally efficient "wrappers" around fine-scale, microscopic, detailed descriptions of dynamical systems, such as molecular dynamics. It is often significantly easier to code a microscale simulator with periodicity: so the challenge addressed here is to develop a scheme that uses only a given periodic microscale simulator; specifically, one for atomistic dynamics. Numerical simulations show that applying a suitable proportional controller within "action regions" of a patch of atomistic simulation effectively predicts the macroscale transport of heat. Theoretical analysis establishes that such an approach will generally be effective and efficient, and also determines good values for the strength of the proportional controller. This work has the potential to empower systematic analysis and understanding at a macroscopic system level when only a given microscale simulator is available.
CALCULATION OF CRITICAL PARAMETERS FOR SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION FOR SOME COMPLEX GEOMETRIES USING AN INDIRECT NUMERICAL METHOD

MSC 2010: Partial differential equations
QUANBING LUO, DONG LIANG, TING REN, JIAN ZHANG
In the theory of spontaneous combustion, identifying the critical value of the Frank-Kamenetskii parameter corresponds to solving a bifurcation point problem. There are two different numerical methods used to solve this problem—the direct and indirect numerical methods. The latter finds the bifurcation point by solving a partial differential equation (PDE) problem. This is a better method to find the bifurcation point for complex geometries. This paper improves the indirect numerical method by combining the grid-domain extension method with the matrix equation computation method. We calculate the critical parameters of the Frank-Kamenetskii equation for some complex geometries using the indirect numerical method. Our results show that both the curve of the outer boundary and the height of the geometries have an effect on the values of the critical Frank-Kamenetskii parameter, however, they have little effect on the critical dimensionless temperature.
Forward sensitivity analysis for contracting stochastic systems
Thomas Flynn
In this paper we investigate gradient estimation for a class of contracting stochastic systems on a continuous state space. We find conditions on the one-step transitions, namely differentiability and contraction in a Wasserstein distance, that guarantee differentiability of stationary costs. Then we show how to estimate the derivatives, deriving an estimator that can be seen as a generalization of the forward sensitivity analysis method used in deterministic systems. We apply the results to examples, including a neural network model.

This paper describes an adaptive preconditioner for numerical continuation of incompressible Navier–Stokes flows based on Stokes preconditioning [42] which has been used successfully in studies of pattern formation in convection. The preconditioner takes the form of the Helmholtz operator I–ΔtL which maps the identity (no preconditioner) for Δt≪1 to Laplacian preconditioning for Δt≫1. It is built on a first order Euler time-discretization scheme and is part of the family of matrix-free methods. The preconditioner is tested on two fluid configurations: three-dimensional doubly diffusive convection and a two-dimensional projection of a shear flow. In the former case, it is found that Stokes preconditioning is more efficient for , away from the values used in the literature. In the latter case, the simple use of the preconditioner is not sufficient and it is necessary to split the system of equations into two subsystems which are solved simultaneously using two different preconditioners, one of which is parameter dependent. Due to the nature of these applications and the flexibility of the approach described, this preconditioner is expected to help in a wide range of applications.

We study a novel class of numerical integrators, the adapted nested force-gradient schemes, used within the molecular dynamics step of the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm. We test these methods in the Schwinger model on the lattice, a well known benchmark problem. We derive the analytical basis of nested force-gradient type methods and demonstrate the advantage of the proposed approach, namely reduced computational costs compared with other numerical integration schemes in HMC.
Numerical Approximations for Allen-Cahn Type Phase Field Model of Two-Phase Incompressible Fluids with Moving Contact Lines

Journal: Communications in Computational Physics / Volume 21 / Issue 3 / March 2017
In this paper, we present some efficient numerical schemes to solve a two-phase hydrodynamics coupled phase field model with moving contact line boundary conditions. The model is a nonlinear coupling system, which consists the Navier-Stokes equations with the general Navier Boundary conditions or degenerated Navier Boundary conditions, and the Allen-Cahn type phase field equations with dynamical contact line boundary condition or static contact line boundary condition. The proposed schemes are linear and unconditionally energy stable, where the energy stabilities are proved rigorously. Various numerical tests are performed to show the accuracy and efficiency thereafter.
Hamiltonian Analysis and Dual Vector Spectral Elements for 2D Maxwell Eigenproblems
Hongwei Yang, Bao Zhu, Jiefu Chen
Journal: Communications in Computational Physics / Volume 21 / Issue 2 / February 2017
The 2D Maxwell eigenproblems are studied from a new point of view. An electromagnetic problem is cast from the Lagrangian system with single variable into the Hamiltonian system with dual variables. The electric and magnetic components transverse to the wave propagation direction are treated as dual variables to each other. Higher order curl-conforming and divergence-conforming vector basis functions are used to construct dual vector spectral elements. Numerical examples demonstrate some unique advantages of the proposed method.

Peng Wang, Jialin Hong, Dongsheng Xu
Journal: Communications in Computational Physics / Volume 21 / Issue 1 / January 2017
We study the construction of symplectic Runge-Kutta methods for stochastic Hamiltonian systems (SHS). Three types of systems, SHS with multiplicative noise, special separable Hamiltonians and multiple additive noise, respectively, are considered in this paper. Stochastic Runge-Kutta (SRK) methods for these systems are investigated, and the corresponding conditions for SRK methods to preserve the symplectic property are given. Based on the weak/strong order and symplectic conditions, some effective schemes are derived. In particular, using the algebraic computation, we obtained two classes of high weak order symplectic Runge-Kutta methods for SHS with a single multiplicative noise, and two classes of high strong order symplectic Runge-Kutta methods for SHS with multiple multiplicative and additive noise, respectively. The numerical case studies confirm that the symplectic methods are efficient computational tools for long-term simulations.

Exponentially accurate Hamiltonian embeddings of symplectic A-stable Runge–Kutta methods for Hamiltonian semilinear evolution equations

We prove that a class of A-stable symplectic Runge–Kutta time semi-discretizations (including the Gauss–Legendre methods) applied to a class of semilinear Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDEs) that are well posed on spaces of analytic functions with analytic initial data can be embedded into a modified Hamiltonian flow up to an exponentially small error. Consequently, such time semi-discretizations conserve the modified Hamiltonian up to an exponentially small error. The modified Hamiltonian is O(hp )-close to the original energy, where p is the order of the method and h is the time-step size. Examples of such systems are the semilinear wave equation, and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with analytic nonlinearity and periodic boundary conditions. Standard Hamiltonian interpolation results do not apply here because of the occurrence of unbounded operators in the construction of the modified vector field. This loss of regularity in the construction can be taken care of by projecting the PDE to a subspace in which the operators occurring in the evolution equation are bounded, and by coupling the number of excited modes and the number of terms in the expansion of the modified vector field with the step size. This way we obtain exponential estimates of the form O(exp(–c/h 1/(1+q))) with c > 0 and q ⩾ 0; for the semilinear wave equation, q = 1, and for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, q = 2. We give an example which shows that analyticity of the initial data is necessary to obtain exponential estimates.

This paper explores the discrete singular convolution method for Hamiltonian PDEs. The differential matrices corresponding to two delta type kernels of the discrete singular convolution are presented analytically, which have the properties of high-order accuracy, bandlimited structure and thus can be excellent candidates for the spatial discretizations for Hamiltonian PDEs. Taking the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the coupled Schrödinger equations for example, we construct two symplectic integrators combining this kind of differential matrices and appropriate symplectic time integrations, which both have been proved to satisfy the square conservation laws. Comprehensive numerical experiments including comparisons with the central finite difference method, the Fourier pseudospectral method, the wavelet collocation method are given to show the advantages of the new type of symplectic integrators.
Geometric Numerical Integration for Peakon b-Family Equations

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 January 2016, pp. 24-52
In this paper, we study the Camassa-Holm equation and the Degasperis-Procesi equation. The two equations are in the family of integrable peakon equations, and both have very rich geometric properties. Based on these geometric structures, we construct the geometric numerical integrators for simulating their soliton solutions. The Camassa-Holm equation and the Degasperis-Procesi equation have many common properties, however they also have the significant difference, for example there exist the shock wave solutions for the Degasperis-Procesi equation. By using the symplectic Fourier pseudo-spectral integrator, we simulate the peakon solutions of the two equations. To illustrate the smooth solitons and shock wave solutions of the DP equation, we use the splitting technique and combine the composition methods. In the numerical experiments, comparisons of these two kinds of methods are presented in terms of accuracy, computational cost and invariants preservation.
Laplacian Preconditioning for the Inverse Arnoldi Method

Journal: Communications in Computational Physics / Volume 18 / Issue 5 / November 2015
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2015, pp. 1336-1351
Many physical processes are described by elliptic or parabolic partial differential equations. For linear stability problems associated with such equations, the inverse Laplacian provides a very effective preconditioner. In addition, it is also readily available in most scientific calculations in the form of a Poisson solver or an implicit diffusive timestep. We incorporate Laplacian preconditioning into the inverse Arnoldi method, using BiCGSTAB to solve the large linear systems. Two successful implementations are described: spherical Couette flow described by the Navier-Stokes equations and Bose-Einstein condensation described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
Bespoke finite difference schemes that preserve multiple conservation laws

Journal: LMS Journal of Computation and Mathematics / Volume 18 / Issue 1 / 2015
Conservation laws provide important constraints on the solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs), therefore it is important to preserve them when discretizing such equations. In this paper, a new systematic method for discretizing a PDE, so as to preserve the local form of multiple conservation laws, is presented. The technique, which uses symbolic computation, is applied to the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation to find novel explicit and implicit schemes that have finite difference analogues of its first and second conservation laws and its first and third conservation laws. The resulting schemes are numerically compared with a multisymplectic scheme.
A BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERS: CONTOIS KINETICS

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 April 2015, pp. 397-415
This paper analyses the steady-state operation of a generalized bioreactor model that encompasses a continuous-flow bioreactor and an idealized continuous-flow membrane bioreactor as limiting cases. A biodegradation of organic materials is modelled using Contois growth kinetics. The bioreactor performance is analysed by finding the steady-state solutions of the model and determining their stability as a function of the dimensionless residence time. We show that an effective recycle parameter improves the performance of the bioreactor at moderate values of the dimensionless residence time. However, at sufficiently large values of the dimensionless residence time, the performance of the bioreactor is independent of the recycle ratio.
PLANE WAVE STABILITY OF THE SPLIT-STEP FOURIER METHOD FOR THE NONLINEAR SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION

Journal: Forum of Mathematics, Sigma / Volume 2 / 2014
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 April 2014, e5
Plane wave solutions to the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a torus have recently been shown to behave orbitally stable. Under generic perturbations of the initial data that are small in a high-order Sobolev norm, plane waves are stable over long times that extend to arbitrary negative powers of the smallness parameter. The present paper studies the question as to whether numerical discretizations by the split-step Fourier method inherit such a generic long-time stability property. This can indeed be shown under a condition of linear stability and a nonresonance condition. They can both be verified in the case of a spatially constant plane wave if the time step-size is restricted by a Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy condition (CFL condition). The proof first uses a Hamiltonian reduction and transformation and then modulated Fourier expansions in time. It provides detailed insight into the structure of the numerical solution.
ON THE EXISTENCE OF CHAOTIC BEHAVIOUR IN PURE AND SIMPLE MICROBIAL COMPETITION: THE ROLE OF CONTOIS KINETICS
MOHAMMAD ASIF, EMAD ALI, ABDELHAMID AJBAR
Journal: The ANZIAM Journal / Volume 55 / Issue 2 / October 2013
Print publication: October 2013
Microbial competition for nutrients is a common phenomenon that occurs between species inhabiting the same environment. Bioreactors are often used for the study of microbial competition since the number and type of microbial species can be controlled, and the system can be isolated from other interactions that may occur between the competing species. A common type of competition is the so-called "pure and simple" competition, where the microbial populations interact in no other way except the competition for a single rate-limiting nutrient that affects their growth rates. The issue of whether pure and simple competition under time-invariant conditions can give rise to chaotic behaviour has been unresolved for decades. The third author recently showed, for the first time, that chaos can theoretically occur in these systems by analysing the dynamics of a model where both competing species grow following the biomass-dependent Contois model while the yield coefficients associated with the two species are substrate-dependent. In this paper we show that chaotic behaviour can occur in a much simpler model of pure and simple competition. We examine the case where only one species grows following the Contois model with variable yield coefficient while the other species is allowed to grow following the simple Monod model with constant yield. We show that while the static behaviour of the proposed model is quite simple, the dynamic behaviour is complex and involves period doubling culminating in chaos. The proposed model could serve as a basis to re-examine the importance of Contois kinetics in predicting complex behaviour in microbial competition.
BLOW-UP OF THE NONEQUIVARIANT ( $2+1$ )-DIMENSIONAL WAVE MAP
JÖRG FRAUENDIENER, RALF PETER
It has been known for a long time that the equivariant $2+1$ wave map into the $2$ -sphere blows up if the initial data are chosen appropriately. Here, we present numerical evidence for the stability of the blow-up phenomenon under explicit violations of equivariance.
RECONSIDERING TRIGONOMETRIC INTEGRATORS
DION R. J. O'NEALE, ROBERT I. MCLACHLAN
In this paper we look at the performance of trigonometric integrators applied to highly oscillatory differential equations. It is widely known that some of the trigonometric integrators suffer from low-order resonances for particular step sizes. We show here that, in general, trigonometric integrators also suffer from higher-order resonances which can lead to loss of nonlinear stability. We illustrate this with the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem, a highly oscillatory Hamiltonian system. We also show that in some cases trigonometric integrators preserve invariant or adiabatic quantities but at the wrong values. We use statistical properties such as time averages to further evaluate the performance of the trigonometric methods and compare the performance with that of the mid-point rule.

Soumya Sarkar and Shakib Al Hasan celebrate a wicket • AFP
Bangladesh are headed for New Zealand next month, but might not have the ideal preparation for the tour, according to their coach Steve Rhodes.
Their top players currently engaged in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), which is being played in conditions vastly different from those they will encounter on their travels. The BPL will end on February 8, and Bangladesh's warm-up game in Lincoln is slotted for February 10, followed by the first ODI on February 13 in Napier.
The group stage of the BPL finishes on February 2, and the touring players whose teams will exit the tournament then will leave for Christchurch early. The players who will be playing in the knockout stage, meanwhile, are likely to miss the practice match and get straight into the three-match ODI series, which will be followed by a series of three Test matches.
Rhodes accepted that the team could have trained in more appropriate conditions before the tough tour, but were left with no choice.
"Let's keep that quiet from the New Zealanders that we've been playing on these wickets," he joked. "It is far from ideal preparation, the way that we go straight from the BPL into ODIs in New Zealand. But what can we do about it? This tournament is a fantastic tournament, it needed fitting in, and it was the only slot available. We understand that, [those of us] involved in the national team, and we'll deal with that.
"We know that the preparation is going to be very rushed for the ODIs against New Zealand but we'll put up with that and we'll give it our best shot and try and win the games that are put in front of us. The Test boys are different. They've got a little bit longer to prepare and acclimatise in New Zealand, so that shouldn't be a problem."
Rhodes suggested that the performances in the BPL shouldn't be an indicator for judging the quality of the players.
Soumya Sarkar works one on the off side•AFP
"I don't think we should get too carried away with the performances in BPL, whether the players do well or not so well. It's a very different format to 50 overs," he argued. "We have been doing quite well recently in ODIs, so I'm not getting too carried away. It doesn't reflect too much on selection for World Cup, but it doesn't do any harm if you play well in this tournament."
One point of concern is that Rajshahi Kings had dropped Soumya Sarkar, the top-order batsman, from their last game after he returned 35 runs in five innings. Sarkar, however, will be on the trip to New Zealand.
"Most of the (franchise) owners are Bangladeshi and therefore you would think they have a strong interest in playing Bangladeshi players. But, having said that, they are here to win as well and if it means that some of the foreign stars get a go and Soumya doesn't, then that's because maybe Soumya hasn't scored the runs that they wanted," said Rhodes.
"I can understand it, you can only play so many players, and it's up to Soumya and others to make sure they stay in that team and do well."
On the subject of Sarkar, Rhodes said that the player must also try and figure out what role he wants to see himself in. "He is a player that can play all formats, he can bat in lots of different positions. I think, sometimes, being the player that does that, sometimes you don't quite nail that position. Is he an opener, is he a middle-order player, is he an all-rounder?
"Those are the questions that still remain maybe unanswered. There is only one guy who can answer that and that's Soumya, to hopefully get some consistency and success regularly in one position. But he's a very good player to have because of that simple fact that he could do several things."

Have you ever heard of "happiness and flow?" If not, then you're missing out on the key to happiness!
Proposed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Ph D – Professor of Psychology at Claremont Graduate University, the concept of flow has been widely referenced in the field of positive psychology where researchers measure things like states of happiness, values, strengths, virtues, and talents.
Flow is a place where people have an almost surreal level of focus and oneness with the task at hand and is what athletes commonly refer to as "the zone." Moment-by-moment, people who flow know exactly what they have to do in an almost existential, out-of-body experience where life-purpose and satisfaction are at a pinnacle. Essentially, Csikszentmihalyi stumbled on a way to help people live the Abundant Life!
Outside of pitching a perfect game or bowling a 300, other tasks commonly experienced as happiness and flow are playing music, painting, writing, sewing, or any other sequence-oriented task where you can let your mind go and simply allow your innate intelligence to operate in full capacity. According to Csikszentmihalyi, flow is completely focused motivation. It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate experience in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning. In flow, the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand.
One of the keys to happiness, and subsequently being able to experience flow, is being able to recover from adversity quickly. Contrary to popular belief, adversity is a very healthy part of happiness. To be happy, people must experience sadness.
To experience a sense of achievement, people must experience challenges. Even tragedy has a role in helping people to have the key to happiness.
How about you? What makes YOU flow?
