I wanted to attend a school that focused on public interest but was still deciding between a few. By coincidence, while I was deciding, I had a law professor in an improv class I was teaching. He told me his friends who taught at Berkeley Law were "some of the happiest people in the legal profession." That sounded like a place I wanted to be.
I didn't go into law school thinking, "Oh, wow, I can't wait to work on some feminist legal scholarship!" But I went to a bunch of happy hours, as you do when you're 1L, and the Berkeley Journal of Gender Law and Justice (aka Gender Journal) was the best happy hour I went to. Everyone was smart, and weird, and funny, and kind, and they all had interests I'd never heard of before. They all wanted to make the world a better place and were going about it in different ways. So I went to the first meeting and just kept on showing up.
Gender Journal publishes legal scholarship at the intersection of gender with one or more axes of subordination, including, but not limited to, race, class, sexual orientation, and disability. Gender impacts everything, so the scholarship we publish is broad, covering everything from global warming, to trans and intersex representation, to vegan feminism, to housing discrimination, to standing for abortion providers.
Something I love about Gender Journal is that we are the only journal on campus that chooses articles by a completely democratic process. Most journals have an articles committee, and they'll read a bunch of articles and vote on what gets in. But since Gender Journal was founded on the idea that women are not a monolith, it's only logical that we couldn't possibly fulfill the journal's mission if only a few people picked the articles. The entire Gender Journal membership reads every submission and votes on what we should publish.
These article discussions really helped me through 1L. As a 1L, you read these terrible cases in your foundational, doctrinal classes–cases that were obviously based in prejudice with an eye towards subjugation. But your professors never squarely address this. After a week or so you just want to scream. Article discussions meant I could go into this room and talk about an article that called these problems in the law out. And being able to talk about these issues with my peers was soul-soothing. It was just a really great space.
Now, as co-editor-in-chief, Jessica (Williams '21) and I oversee all of the operational facets of a journal—the production calendar, deadlines, substantive edits on a piece, cite checking, running meetings, events, etc. While we do this work that will further social justice in the future, it's important to us that we further social justice now. We've shared educational resources and ways for people to get involved in social justice, set up protest groups, and offered our members the opportunity to fulfill journal obligations by protesting or doing voter protection and outreach.
We updated our website over the summer and launched a blog. We've also really tried to up our social media engagement.
Incoming students should really work to find their people. And normally, you think of affinity groups for that. And that's a good place to start. But because of Gender Journal's mandate, it becomes an affinity group for people who want to leverage the law for good. If that's what you come to school wanting to do, and you don't mind reading legal scholarship, Gender Journal is a really good way to do that.

During my 1L year I went to a lunch a presentation at the law school for the Keta Taylor Colby Death Penalty Project. It's a program that places law students at under-resourced death penalty offices in the south. I came out of it thinking, 'wow'—I get chills thinking about it now.
My father was a prosecutor. He spent the majority of his career, and my entire life growing up, with the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office. That was always an influence in my life. I totally acknowledge prosecutors have a very important role to play in society. The crimes that people who are accused of for death penalty-eligible crimes, which are always murder plus an aggravating factor, are heinous. But I still believe you're more than the worst thing you've ever done. I believe in mercy. The possibility that I could do something so impactful, so important, so literally life or death, after my first year of law school really blew me away. It was the only thing I applied to.
I was placed at the Mississippi Office of the State Public Defenders Capital Defense Division. As I was organizing my trip out there, the coronavirus pandemic was just starting and they notified us that the program would be remote. But I went out there anyway.
I had no idea what I would be working on, but it turned out that my supervisor was one of the attorneys who had represented Curtis Flowers at the Supreme Court (see In the Dark, Season 2 podcast for in-depth look at the decades-long wrongful conviction legal saga). Following Flowers' sixth trial (previous trials had either resulted in hung juries or were struck down by higher courts for prosecutorial misconduct) in which the Mississippi Supreme Court had not found a Batson violation (a claim of racial discrimination in peremptory strikes in jury selection), it was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. To paraphrase Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who wrote for the majority, he basically says: "Excuse me. Looking at the totality of the circumstances, there actually is a Batson violation." Justice Kavanuagh looked at the Mississippi Supreme Court's majority decision and told them they were doing the Batson analysis wrong, but that Justice King's dissenting opinion was doing the analysis correctly. So the Supreme Court remands the case for a new trial again. Then, Doug Evans, the prosecutor who had seen this case through six trials, recused himself. The case was transferred to the State Attorney General who finally dismissed the charges (in September 2020). Curtis Flowers is now a free man, thank God.
After the Flowers opinion, there was another Batson case in the Mississippi Supreme Court, Eubanks v. State, where the majority found no Batson violation. Outrageously, the Mississippi Supreme Court basically ignores the US Supreme Court previous decision in Flowers, so unsurprisingly Justice King dissents again. To paraphrase the dissent: "Hey majority of the Mississippi Supreme Court, we just got overturned in the Flowers case and here we are again analyzing these Batson claims wrong." So a lot of my work was looking at Justice Kavanaugh's Flowers opinion and the lines of evidence he focused on and drafting a memo for my boss who was writing a brief for an appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
I hadn't even taken Criminal Procedure yet, so I was only vaguely familiar with capital punishment law and Batson claims, mainly from listening to the In the Dark podcast and reading some of a capital punishment textbook. I reached out to Professor Elisabeth Semel, director of Berkeley Law's Death Penalty Clinic, to try to get resources. She shared with me their recent report on "Whitewashing the Jury Box" in California. That was very, very helpful in understanding the potential for implicit bias in jury selection and how a prosecutor could make racial appeals without necessarily explicitly referencing race. It was really cool to get to see some of my research in the brief to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
I consider my first summer a huge learning experience. A big part of that experience was, despite a virtual internship, I got to live and work in Jackson, MS. Given the history of the death penalty and the South, it was very important for me to go to Mississippi and experience what that part of the country is like.
So I arrived in Mississippi right after George Floyd's death. I was working on these issues of racial oppression and racial discrimination during the height of this swelling racial justice movement. The State's legislature even voted to hold a referendum and replace their current state flag, which incorporated the confederate battle flag in its design, with a new flag which did not bear that vestige of institutional racism. That is truly historic.
Ultimately, the experience made me far more committed in my beliefs that the death penalty's wrong in all circumstances. It was also personally very gratifying to feel like I can have a small part to play in correcting some of the injustices of racial oppression in our society.

"Be Brown, Be Proud, and Bring That to Law School"
La Raza Co-Chairs Bring National Latinx Law Students Association Conference to the West Coast
Q: Why did you decide to attend Berkeley Law?
Katy: I grew up in a Puerto Rican household in New Jersey with both of my grandparents from either side living in the two family home. When looking for law schools, it was really important to find a Latinx community, because that's something that I lacked in my undergrad. One of the things that stuck out to me about Berkeley was the La Raza Law Journal, which is one of the only journals focused on Latinx issues and scholars in the T14 (top 14 ranked law schools). Then when I came to Admitted Students Weekend, La Raza students were so welcoming. The co-chair was a Latina from Queens, and she told me about the academic and professional development, the programming, and just the great community of people. It really sealed the deal for me.
Estefani: I'm a first generation college student and the fourth of seven children. I come from an immigrant community of mixed immigration status . And so the drive for me to go to law school was to become an advocate for my community. Latinx people make up only 4 percent of the legal profession, so it's true what they say, it takes a village to be successful. La Raza is that village. From the very beginning I felt supported by the La Raza community, from current students to the alumni network who are willing to go to bat for us.
Q: Why did you want to bring the National Latinx Law Students Association Conference to Berkeley Law?
Estefani: The La Raza alumni community is really what makes Berkeley Law a great fit to host the conference. When we announced Berkeley had been chosen to host, they were so eager to help. They were emailing us, "We want to get involved. Let us know what you need." Almost half of the panelists are Berkeley Law alums.
Katy: La Raza at Berkeley Law is 50 years strong. The fact that we had Latinx leadership back in 1969 is amazing. They paved the way for us, so we wanted to emphasize the theme that we are the past, present, and future of our people through the conference programming. I think having this national conference that showcases Latinx law students and Latinx lawyers really sends a message of the strength of our growing presence in the legal profession.
Q: Did you plan all of the panels? What type of content did you think would be valuable?
Katy: Between the two of us we planned the whole curriculum and lined up speakers for 16 panels.
Estefani: With the past, present, and future theme in mind, we're highlighting Central Valley Farm Workers and 50 years of Centro Legal de La Raza, which was started by Berkeley Law students. We also have someone coming from the Dolores Huerta Foundation to talk about the labor rights movement in California. In terms of the present, what's affecting the Latinx community is immigration work and border issues. We're also doing sessions on accessibility and highlighting Latinx attorneys in different sectors, like public defenders, prosecutors, legislative and policy making, in-house, and private practice.
Katy: And then speaking to the future, there's going to be a pre-law panel and opportunities for pre-law students to get one-on-one sessions with current students, a career fair, and a pre-law fair. So all of those different moving parts will highlight Latinx excellence and issues in the Latinx community, but also provide prospective law students with access that they might not otherwise have.
Q: What do you hope attendees will take away from the conference?
Katy: Just the experience of being Latinx in the legal profession. So many of the alumni and panelists I spoke to during the organizing process were like, "I'm the only Latinx person in my office," or "I'm the only Latinx partner in my firm." And so I think a big part of the conversations will be learning from their experience and how to navigate a profession that didn't contemplate you being a part of it originally.
Estefani: In terms of current and prospective law students, be brown, be proud, and bring that to law school. I think a lot of Latinx students, especially first gen students, deal with imposter syndrome. But you shouldn't feel because you're coming to law school that you have to lose your identity. I think this conference will help Latinx people feel like they belong here and that their voices are valuable.
Katy: I also hope it will build morale for the older generation of Latinx lawyers. Their experience was to put their heads down and not mention they're Latinx. They didn't want people to know they grew up speaking Spanish because they might question whether they belong. Now, not only have Latinx numbers in law school grown, but there's also a spirit of, "We're here, we're proud of our culture, and we want to contribute that to the workplace." Having that diversity and perspective is important. We want them to see that their experience laid the groundwork for us, that we stand on their shoulders. So I think it's going to be beneficial for all generations.
The all-female editors-in-chief at the top 16 law reviews celebrate the release of their collaborative "Women and the Law" issue.
Reflection by California Law Review Vol. 108 Editor-in-Chief Noor-ul-ain Hasan '20
In 1912, the California Law Review's first editor-in-chief, Orrin McMurray (who later became a professor and dean of Berkeley Law), envisioned that CLR would concentrate on California law. The publication's chief architects included turn-of-the-century California progressives who saw CLR as a vehicle for legal reform.
In fact, early issues offered critiques of proposed California legislation. Although CLR eventually adopted a national focus, consistent with our approach and mission today, the opportunity to work with Dr. Karen Korematsu prompted us to return to CLR's earliest traditions.
The late Fred Korematsu's experience as a civil rights activist and Dr. Korematsu's work advocating for civil liberties is not only a story about civil rights on a national scale. If you look closely, it's also an important story about California.
Fred Korematsu was born in Oakland. His parents purchased land there before California's 1913 "Alien Land Law" took effect. It was Ernest Besig, executive director of the ACLU's Northern California affiliate, who sought to challenge the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the internment of Japanese Americans and others during World War II.
Forty years after the 1944 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that detention of Japanese-Americans was a "military necessity" not based on race, Peter Irons, a political science professor at UC San Diego, unearthed a key, seemingly forgotten Department of Justice memo that led Asian Law Caucus co-founder Dale Minami '71 to re-open the case. In 1983, Judge Marilyn Hall Patel (U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California) formally vacated Korematsu's conviction.
Given these deep California connections, CLRs executive committee agreed that Dr. Korematsu would make an excellent contribution to the joint Women & Law publication in partnership with the law reviews of the top 16 law schools (according to the U.S. News & World Report rankings).
Thanks to the excellent editorial work of Alexandra Copper '20 (managing editor), Daniel Ray '20 (senior articles editor), Gus Tupper (senior articles editor), and Paul von Autenried '20 (senior supervising editor), CLR effectively partnered with Dr. Korematsu to bring her story to life in this publication. Her essay, "Carrying on Korematsu," along with the contributions of other incredible authors, comprises a powerful mosaic of reflections on the past and visions for an equitable, inclusive future.
We were moved by Dr. Korematsu's work as executive director of the Fred T. Korematsu Institute and her tireless advocacy for civil rights. Moreover, we believe that her essay makes an important contribution to the joint publication because history has shown that one need not be a lawyer to influence or impact the law.
Noor Hasan '20, Dr. Karen Korematsu, Alex Copper '20, and Professor Molly Van Houweling at Duke University School of Law's Honoring Women's Advancement in Law event.
Dr. Korematsu's story and critical civil rights work, such as her advocacy against the administration's recent Muslim ban, reflects a systemic and intersectional understanding of racism. It builds upon the foundation of her father's 1944 case and helps the reader understand its continuing and haunting relevance in 2020.
Her story shows that each of us must look beyond our own communities, identities, and creed and stand united in solidarity when any branch of government subordinates groups on the basis of race. And her contribution to the joint publication communicates something extraordinarily powerful, too: one does not need a law degree to change the law. Dr. Korematsu's essay is inspirational because it prompts readers to recognize that they have the power, just as much as anyone else, to advocate for a fair and just rule of law.
Over a hundred years have passed since CLR's creation. I am pleased that we continue to pay homage to the journal's rich tradition of centering authors with innovative and courageous voices. I believe that participating in the Honoring Women's Advancement in Law event organized by Duke University School of Law and the joint Women & Law publication is profoundly important for CLR as an institution and as a community.
For one thing, these experiences remind us of the importance of empowering historically marginalized people, such as women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ folks, to embrace opportunities to lead and chart a path for change.
And further, I believe this historic collaboration and milestone should prompt CLR, its peer law journals, law schools, and the legal profession as a whole to enrich their commitment to fostering greater inclusion and aiming even higher—from the pages of law reviews and journal mastheads to academic faculty appointments, law school student bodies, and beyond.
Co-founders of the Legal Automation Workshop, a new Student-Initiated Legal Services Project
Ari: My background is as a software engineer. I spent four years at Facebook and a year working at the Pentagon before law school. Berkeley Law has a large technology law contingent, but they're mostly focused on application of law to technology. I see a big opportunity in the field of applying technology to law.
I wanted to start the Legal Automation Workshop (LAW) because there was an obvious need for support among the Student-Initiated Legal Services Projects (SLPs).
Marta: So, I am not a software engineer. Unlike Ari, My background is in biochemistry, and I got involved in computer science when I started working for a healthcare software company. But I worked with the East Bay Community Law Center's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) clinic last spring and it seemed like I was filling out the same form or entering the same information over and over again. So when I heard Ari was working on launching a legal automation SLP, I was like, 'yeah, I'm in!'
Ari: LAW officially launched this fall, but we've already had a few clients. I worked with EBCLC's Name and Gender Change Workshop to build an online workflow that eliminated a bunch of repetitive paperwork. So now, assuming you enter the correct information initially, all of the forms will be consistent and correct without having to scroll through dozens of pages and enter it manually. They are now able to process the most common cases about twice as fast as before the digital system.
Marta: We have a whole bunch of SLPs that are interested in developing legal automation to help streamline the big processes which take up a lot of the students' and lawyers' time that could be better spent on substantive work.
Ari: We want to be conscientious of the sustainability of the work we do in terms of both LAW participants and the organizations that we're assisting. Ideally we can turn a digital solution over to the client when the project is done. Students don't have to have a software engineering background to participate in LAW, but some familiarity with coding definitely helps.
Marta: It'sthe type of thing that a hobbyist software engineer or hobbyist developers, as I like to call myself, can do and can both learn from it and get exposure to some skills that they might not otherwise have been able to show on their resumes. It definitely stood out for me during OCI.
Ari: Legal automation makes a lot of lawyers nervous because I think they see it as a form of replacement. I don't think legal automation is going to replace human judgment or human creativity in the near future. But it can free up time to enable lawyers to focus more on the creative elements and hopefully break the incredibly unhealthy culture of working long hours.
Marta: In our case, it's really about streamlining and giving non-profit/pro bono lawyers the ability to actually get to know their clients and the time to do some of that more substantive work, as opposed to sitting there and typing up a form.
Ari: We're really excited for the first cohort of students to join LAW. The number of people with STEM backgrounds—computer science or otherwise—at Berkeley Law has grown significantly, so we are betting on a groundswell of talent to help support other SLPs and potentially expand to other universities.
I see automation of many processes in the law through technology as an inevitability, just as a matter of efficiency. There's an opportunity as these systems are rebuilt to create more transparency. The risk is that if people are not there advocating for social justice as that adaptation takes place, then it's going to be steered by whoever has the most money. What is built will be not just something as opaque and hard to interact with as the current system, but something that is even worse because you will have AI running rampant.
Marta: That's why it's critical to get more people who have STEM backgrounds involved in the legal profession. There's a lot of people making decisions about tech law and policy that don't understand it. Starting that conversation about the application of technology to law needs to happen in law schools, and especially at law schools like Berkeley where public interest is at the forefront of a lot of students' minds.
Ari: Students should join the legal automation workshop because they're passionate about the potential for technology to have a positive impact on law, and specifically a positive impact on peoples' lives. Learn more about LAW at legalautomation.rocks.
Hybrid Option LL.M., Class of 2019
I always wanted to get an LL.M. But right after law school, I didn't have the money, and then I had children, plus I was looking for employment. I always wanted to get my LL.M. here at Berkeley Law, because it is one of the best law schools. So I was really excited when I saw the hybrid option. For me, it was the only possibility because longer than three months away from home would not have worked. So I applied.
My 7-year-old cried when I got the admission and said, "I don't want you to go." The 4-year-old and the 7-year-old both clung to my leg when I was on the way to the plane. So, leaving was really hard.
How did [the online courses] fit in my everyday? Somehow they did. [Professor Bill Fernholz] did live lectures and office hours every week, as well as occasional skill sessions. Students attended the office hours just to keep in touch, or to have something clarified. After work I had to pick up my kids and race home to be in time for the live sessions. My kids often came into my little office, in need of immediate attention. But mostly I could follow along just fine. [Professor Fernholz] wanted us to succeed. He wanted us to understand. And I see now how the classes fit into each other. I can see that what I learned in his class was not only Fundamentals of U.S. Law, but also fundamentals of case law and the IRAC system. My experience is that you really learn how to talk about the law, how to find a solution in case law, the system and logic.
It is good to be here [for an on-campus summer semester]. If you want to have a degree from a good law school, you want the experience at that law school in residence as well. It is nice to meet in person the people you already spent some time with on the screen. You get impressions about their home country, their culture and their background. I enjoy that. Besides studies, there is often some other fun stuff going on.
We are 34 hybrid option students. It is a more or less close-knit group. We are the second round of hybrid students, so we are kind of like pioneers. What I like about the LL.M program in Berkeley is that the professors and the staff from ADP are really nice and everybody tries to take good care of us. We only get a few weeks to learn what they normally teach over a semester, so it's really intense. They make sure that we are feeling well, that we can follow along, that we get it.
[Being back in school] is interesting, but it is totally different than the first time. It is not like you are fresh from high school and open-minded and eager to see what life can give you—because you already have a part of it. It is a different mindset, you have other responsibilities. This time I rarely skip a class because it is such a short amount of time to succeed.
Just go for it, and take it seriously. You have to work for it. But sure, you are also supposed to have fun and enjoy your stay. It depends on each person, how they want to use it. If it is just an excuse to spend a summer in California, okay—but that would be a really expensive experience! Be open to the people around you, take advantage of the fact that everybody is supportive.
General Counsel, Equfin
Professional Track LL.M. Class of 2019
I have worked in the banking sector in Georgia for over 10 years. Five years ago I became the general counsel at Liberty Bank, one of the biggest banks in Georgia. Being a lawyer in the banking industry is a very challenging job because you have a lot of interaction with the regulators and government scrutiny and it is a very conservative and competitive market. It's sometimes difficult to balance between the personal life and the office.
I am a workaholic and I have a son who is six years old. I chose Berkeley, and especially the Professional Track LL.M. program, because it is so convenient. I can still work most of the year and even part time while I am in Berkeley.
The biggest benefit I have received at Berkeley is the opportunity to look outside of Georgia and compare myself to lawyers from around the world. Georgia is a very small country. When I came here and sat in class with lawyers from China and India, I realized that I am a good lawyer on a larger scale and that I could work in any kind of legal system. It gave me a lot of confidence.
After my first summer at Berkeley it was hard to go back to doing the same work I had been doing for 10 years. The conventional banking system will not be the same in 5-10 years because new technology and digitalization of products is changing the industry. Banks are not keeping up with innovation. So I decided to change jobs and join a finance technology (fintech) company. They do peer-to-peer business, everything is based off of software and digital verifications, which is a big change for me.
I will also be a GC at my new company, but I will be doing much different work because as a digital, multinational company, I will have to work with lawyers from all over the world. One day you are negotiating a deal with a lawyer in Spain, and the next you have some issue in Lithuania. You need a lot of managerial skills on top of legal skills.
The Professional Track is really great for people who have been working a few years. The age of the students is higher and we all bring so much real world experience. We learn a lot about each other's countries and develop contacts from across the world. This is already benefiting me in my new job. I can call my classmates about issues regarding other legal systems, and if they can't help me themselves, they can refer me to someone who can.
I will graduate with the Business Law Certificate. I am taking Cybersecurity, which will be crucial in my new job. It has been very interesting to take business law courses to compare my experience in Georgia with law in the U.S.
In-House Legal Specialist, Google, Singapore
I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea. I majored in law in university. When I graduated, the pass rate for the bar exam in Korea was very low and people could study for years and still not pass. So I decided instead to start my career as a paralegal in a law firm. I worked in the IP department and managed clients' trademarks and domain names. After five years I joined the in-house legal team at Google in Seoul.
I spent next four years happily working on various matters including procurement deals and supporting advisory work. I was becoming comfortable in my role and wanted to push myself. So I decided to apply for a position at Google's Asia Pacific headquarters, located in Singapore. I'd never lived abroad on my own or worked in an English dominant environment. But I wanted to specialize in commercial contracts work in a more international, diverse environment covering multiple countries.
Now, in Google Asia Pacific legal team, I support business teams through negotiating, reviewing and drafting commercial contracts. Some of my work is on hardware partnership, where I work on contracts with telcos, distributors, and retailers. I also support travel partnership deals where I work on contracts with airlines and hotels. I support Google marketing teams too, especially when they engage external agencies for their marketing campaigns.
I like contract work because I get to be a part of a business by helping the business teams to seal their deals with a contract. I also get to see how Google as a company interact with various parties to make the business run. I like helping the business team reach their goals.
I decided to pursue the LL.M. degree in Berkeley because I wanted to study U.S. law in California. California law is a big part of my everyday life, working in an in-house legal team of a tech company based in Silicon Valley.
Further, I chose Berkeley because the professional track allowed me to enjoy a nice balance between work, study, and networking. Studying and connecting with fellow LL.M. students and professors full time for three months, and being able to keep my career up for the rest of the year, is a very attractive arrangement as a professional.
I knew that Berkeley Law would offer me sophisticated and high quality education. Currently I am pursuing a business certificate and focusing on the bar courses, and I am thoroughly enjoying every lecture. Classes are small and allow easy interaction with all students and professors. Professors are always open to students' questions and discussions. I know it will make me more confident in my work when I return home.
Venture Capital Attorney, Nonprofit Founder
Professional Track LL.M., Class of 2020
I work at EchoVC Partners, a venture capital (VC) fund in Lagos, Nigeria and we invest in African and Africa-focused tech startups. Many of these startups have HQs in the US. One of my reasons for coming to Berkeley Law was to ensure that I have full knowledge and understanding of US laws to enable me advise our fund and portfolio companies.
As VC is still nascent in Africa, and there are not many lawyers and entrepreneurs experienced in venture capital transactions. This has made the investment process very challenging.
So I co-founded a not-for-profit – Ventures Dialogue – where we educate founders, lawyers and investors and train them on how to fundraise and build a business in Nigeria's unique consumer market. In Nigeria, an entrepreneur first has to provide his own ecosystem to thrive and then rely on the government for other perks. So essentially, everything you need for your business to survive is dependent on you. But this has proved very challenging and overwhelming for entrepreneurs. So we decided to create a support system for entrepreneurs by providing mentorship, business and legal advisory services, investment opportunities, skill-based trainings to entrepreneurs to help them scale their businesses at no costs!! As a lawyer, I also offer free legal services and trainings in my spare time to founders.
Nigerian entrepreneurs have an incredible drive that inspires me to want to do whatever I can to support them. It's an amazing feeling to help a business that is trying to solve an important problem succeed. Helping to pay it forward means a lot to me and encourages me to do more.
Coming to Berkeley Law was an opportunity for me to develop myself and enable me give back to my community. I couldn't afford to take an entire year off work, as that would cause some disruption to the internal processes at our fund. I knew that if I was going to take time off work at all it had to be worth it. Berkeley Law is the only law school that has a masters degree program focused on venture capital financing and offers the two-summer LL.M. program. So Berkeley was the only option for me, and I only applied to Berkeley Law.
I am thoroughly enjoying my experience here. It has been challenging and fulfilling at the same time. The education system is very different from back home. Here, you are encouraged to have an opinion and required to bring forward counter-arguments where your thoughts do not align with that of your professors. But this is not the same in Nigeria, as many professors think it an affront to be challenged or have thoughts different from theirs. That mind-shift and audacity has made a huge difference in my thought-process. Also, the broad spectrum of courses I am taking here at Berkeley Law have helped me be more insightful and will absolutely help me become an even better corporate lawyer as they encompass global real-life issues. I am looking forward to going back home to make a bigger difference!

The Social Democrats have called on the Minister for Finance to intervene to block the sale of Permanent TSB mortgages to unregulated vulture funds.
"This bank is 75 per cent owned by the State and the Minister for Finance must do what he can to protect homeowners by halting the sale of its loan book to unregulated and largely unaccountable private equity or hedge funds.
"It is wrong and unacceptable for the State as a major bank shareholder to stand by while Permanent TSB effectively outsources repossessions of people's homes. There is clearly a moral obligation to step in and prevent the sale of these 20,000 mortgages.
"The devastating impact on families of having their mortgages hived off to overseas funds cannot be underestimated. If emergency legislation is needed to fix this problem, then the Minister should bring this before the Dáil without delay. In the meantime, the funds should be instructed to give mortgage-holders the right to buy their loans for the same price that is being offered to the vulture funds.


It sums up one of the most pressing issues facing industrial meat production and, consequently, the larger public.
Eighty percent of the antibiotics used in the U.S. are used by industrial agriculture for purposes of growth promotion and preventing diseases that would otherwise make their concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) unviable.
… [B]oth of the production itself (particularly water pollution resulting from nitrate pollution) and of the cropping systems that feed the livestock (more nitrate pollution from the synthetic nitrogen fertilizers used to grow acres and acres of corn and soybeans)."
Bacteria are, in essence, hard-wired to adapt to threats such as antibiotics and, at such point in time when they adapt to resist all of them, infections that were once easily treated will undoubtedly return with renewed force.
CAFOs, in particular, are hotbeds for breeding antibiotic-resistant bacteria because of the continuous feeding of low doses of antibiotics to the animals, which allows pathogens to survive, adapt, and eventually, thrive.
One of the worst examples is carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), which are resistant to the class of antibiotics called carbapenems.4 CRE has been dubbed a "nightmare bacteria" by the CDC's Director Dr. Tom Frieden because of their extreme resilience — it's nearly impossible to kill them.
And it's far from the only "nightmare." According to the CDC, 22 percent of antibiotic-resistant illness in humans is linked to food,5 but a more accurate statement might be linked to food from CAFOs.
For instance, Klebsiella pneumonia are bacteria that can lead to pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound and surgical site infections and meningitis. Klebsiella are often found in the human intestinal tract, where they are normally harmless.
In 2015, the federal Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria was created. Part of its role is to evaluate the implementation of the National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria.
One of the latter's goals is to slow the emergence of resistant bacteria, which will require "judicious use" of the drugs.
By 2020, the plan calls for the elimination of the use of medically important antibiotics for growth promotion in food-producing animals. It also calls for veterinary oversight for use of medically important antibiotics in the feed or water of food-producing animals. But is this going far — and fast — enough?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has asked drug companies to remove indications for "feed efficiency" and "weight gain" from the labels of their antibiotic products. They also require veterinarians to oversee any addition of these drugs to animal feed and water.
However, no benchmarks have been set to reduce antibiotic use on CAFOs, and there is no system in place to collect data on how agricultural antibiotics are being used. Without any baseline data, monitoring any process toward reduction will be difficult, if not impossible.
As it becomes increasingly clear that the use of antibiotics for growth promotion must be eliminated, researchers are looking for other ways to promote growth, including the use of beneficial bacteria, or probiotics.
" … [M]ay stimulate growth at a later age and may facilitate broilers in reaching their target weight sooner. Therefore, probiotics are recommended as potential alternatives to antimicrobials in chicken diets … "
Trading antibiotics for probiotics is a massive step in the right direction, but ultimately what is needed is for the animals to have access to their native diets via foraging and grazing.
The antibiotic carbadox (brand name Mecadox) has been used for about 40 years to prevent disease in pigs as well as fatten the animals. It's estimated that 40 percent of U.S. pork producers use the drug,12 but that may soon change.
The FDA is taking steps to rescind their approval of the drug after their preliminary risk assessment found it may leave a cancer-causing residue in the meat. Pork liver, which is used to make hot dogs, lunchmeat, liverwurst and certain sausages, may be particularly risky, according to the FDA.
Phibro Animal Health Corp., which manufactures the drug, was reportedly "incensed" by the FDA's move to ban carbadox13 and plans to request a hearing to challenge the FDA and refute the allegations.
"Potential cancer risks are based on an assumed lifetime of consuming pork liver or other pork products containing carbadox residues, and short-term changes in diet are unlikely to affect a person's lifetime risk.
However, removal of the product from the market will reduce the lifetime risk to consumers."
What Does Grass-Fed Meat Have to Do With It?
There are many costs of industrial agriculture beyond the spread of antibiotic-resistant disease — like the buildup of nitrogen fertilizers in the soil and the use of GE grains (doused in glyphosate) as a primary source of feed.
When animals are fed an unnatural diet, such as grains instead of grass, a number of bad outcomes occur. The animals are more prone to illness, for one, and the resulting meat (or dairy products) is nutritionally inferior.
Dairy and meat from cows raised primarily on pasture have been repeatedly shown to be higher in many nutrients, including vitamin E, beta-carotene, and the healthy fats omega-3 and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
It also holds the key to avoiding the environmental destruction that is imminent if industrialized agriculture continues to grow. One important factor that some experts believe is KEY for reversing environmental devastation is to return much of our land to grasslands and build a network of herbivore economics.
There is perhaps no better way to improve the conditions for animals, solve the carbon problem, bring more revenue to farmers, and improve our health by purchasing nutritious foods from properly pastured animals (versus the CAFO model based on monocultures of corn and soy fed to the animals).
By mimicking the natural behavior of migratory herds of wild grazing animals — meaning allowing livestock to graze freely and moving the herd around in specific patterns — farmers can support nature's efforts to regenerate and thrive. This kind of land management system promotes the reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by sequestering it back into the soil where it can do a lot of good.
Once in the Earth, the CO2 can be safely stored for hundreds of years and add to the soil's fertility. Returning to more sustainable organic farming methods is also necessary in order to support the regeneration of soils, which, ultimately, dictates how nutritious the food grown in it will be.
Rebuilding functional ecosystems from the ground up will restore them to their fullest potential, and this needs to be our overriding focus. Perhaps you can't do anything about how large-scale commercial farms are being run at the moment, but you can make a difference for yourself, for your family and community that might have residual effects.
Grow your own organic vegetables. Organic gardening isn't something extra you do — in fact it's quite the opposite. It's what you don't do that makes the difference: no chemicals, pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides on your plate! When you take control of what you eat, you'll naturally enjoy better health, ensure and protecting future generations.
Composting is another way to make what you already have work for you in the future. Save those scraps, from egg shells to coffee filters, and use them to feed your vegetable garden.
When shopping for food, be informed regarding where that food was produced. A guide to help you can be found by clicking here. If you take advantage of the farm-fresh sustainability that's becoming more prevalent as people take control of what they're consuming, you'll realize many benefits. You'll know where the foods you and your family eat come from, ensure optimal nutrition, and protect the health of future generations.
As far as antibiotic-resistant disease is concerned, you can help yourself and your community by only purchasing antibiotic-free meats and other foods and using antibiotics only when absolutely necessary. This is an important step that I urge everyone to take, even though ultimately the problem of antibiotic resistance needs to be stemmed on a global level.

Big Daddy Hundreds.
The ongoing season of Ranji Trophy is being played on neutral venues. Before the season started, there was this huge portion of uncertainty as to whether the batsman would be able to adjust on tracks which were foreign in nature in spite of being at home. Putting all speculations aside, five batsman rose to the occasion during the tournament. This piece of writing is not about the batsmen who scored the fastest century or 1,000 runs in the season, but it is about batsmen who toiled on the 22 yards hard and long for their respective maiden triple centuries or the 'Big Daddy Hundreds'. Rishabh Pant became the fourth youngest triple centurion in first class cricket. Swapnil Gugale (Maharashtra) - On a flat batting deck at Wankhede Stadium, Gugale, skipper of Maharashtra elected to bat against Delhi. After losing a couple of wickets in the first 10 overs, Gugale, who came in as opener joined hands with Ankit Bawne to make sure that no other wicket fell during the next 164
Preview: Boxing Day Test - AUS vs PAK.
Another year. Another Australian summer. Another Boxing Day Test. There is something noteworthy about the test match which starts on December 26 every year. There is this wind of speciality which blows around Melbourne. Boxing Day Test is being played on a regular basis since 1990. Out of the 40 Boxing Day Tests in Melbourne, 23 have been won by Australia whereas eight have been won by touring teams and nine have ended in a draw. The stat clearly shows the dominance of Australia on the Boxing Day eve. Pakistan is the touring team for this year. They have played the Boxing Day Test on three other occasions. The match resulted in a draw in 1983 but the Australians had the better of Pakistan in 2004 and 2009 where they defeated them by nine wickets and 170 runs respectively. Apart from the Boxing Day test, this match also happens to be the second match of the 3-test series. With Pakistan already 0-1 down, a further defeat for them would mean the end of hope of a test series win in A
Preview - IND vs NZ - 1st ODI.
New Zealand would want to start afresh ahead of the ODI series. The fact they played an ODI around 250 days ago and 13,000 km far from Dharamsala best describes their need to take a fresh start. Apart from these numbers, there is one name which they might miss in this series. Brendon McCullum was still leading the side the last time they played an ODI against Australia in Hamilton. This will be Kane Williamson's first ODI series for New Zealand as full-time captain. But it is easier said than done. They are playing against India in India. A situation which recently handed them a 3-0 whitewash in the test series. Playing without their key players such as Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Mohammad Shami etc., things are not that sorted for India as well. The home team is likely to play with a bunch of youngsters who will be guided by the likes of captain MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane. Ajinkya Rahane is all set to open the
Preview - BAN vs ENG - 3rd ODI.
Players and people will be hoping that the rain does not play a spoilsport in the 3rd ODI between Bangladesh and England in Chittagong. The reason is perhaps same for both the players and the people. The series is parked 1-1 at the moment with only one match to go. If the players want to win that match to grab the series, people want to watch that happen. A win for Bangladesh will make them the first team to win seven bilateral series in a row at home. With all that has happened in the last match, the ultimate match of the series is worth watching. The hosts will be counting on their openers, big time! Whether they set a target or chase it, at least one out of Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes will have to play a big one in this crucial match. Not only them, the onus will also lie on Sabbir Rahman and Mahmudullah. The top order has the potential, conversion of it into performance is what they will be looking at. Out-of-form wicket-keeper, Mushfiqur Rahim will also be itching to get some
India's Young Buds - Wicket Keepers.
Here is a list of Top 5 wicket-keepers to keep an eye on during the 83rd edition of the Ranji Trophy which begins a day after tomorrow. Only those wicket-keepers have been included who have not represented India in any format. 20-year old Ankush Bains also bats at the top of the order for Himachal Pradesh. Srikar Bharat (Andhra Pradesh) - Having played in the Duleep Trophy this year, this 23-year old wicket-keeper batsman has amassed 1,983 first-class runs in 29 matches at an average of 43.10. Behind the stumps, he has 113 dismissals to his name. Ankush Bains (Himachal Pradesh) - This former India U-19 player has scored 1,147 runs in 22 first-class matches at an average of 40.96. He has four centuries and a sole half-century to his name. The conversion rate itself speaks everything about the 20-year old. Behind the stumps, he has 56 dismissals under his belt. Eklavya Dwivedi (Uttar Pradesh) - Also the vice-captain of Uttar Pradesh, Dwivedi has impressed one and all with hi
India's Young Buds - Bowlers.
Here is a list of Top 10 bowlers to keep an eye on during the 83rd edition of Ranji Trophy which begins a day after tomorrow. Only those bowlers have been included who have not represented India in any format. Shahbaz Nadeem was the highest wicket-taker in the last season of Rnaji Trophy. Shahbaz Nadeem (Jharkhand) - This 27-year old slow left-arm orthodox bowler finished as the highest wicket-taker in the last season of Ranji Trophy. In nine matches, he claimed 51 wickets at an average of 19.62 and a strike rate of 41.3 which was way better than his career average of 29.69 and strike rate of 66.6. Nadeem would be looking to top the bowling charts this year as well. Shardul Thakur (Mumbai) - This 24-year old right arm medium-pacer finished seventh on the list of highest wicket-taker in the last season of Ranji Trophy. His 41 wickets came in 11 matches at an average of 24.51 and a strike rate of 53.4. Having accompanied the Indian team to West Indies recently, he is defini
India's Young Buds - Batsmen.
Here is a list of Top 10 batsmen to keep an eye on during the 83rd edition of Ranji Trophy which begins a day after tomorrow. Only those batsmen have been included who have not represented India in any format. Shreyas Iyer was the highest run-scorer in Ranji Trophy last year. Shreyas Iyer (Mumbai) - After being the highest run-scorer (1,321 runs in 11 matches) in the last season of Ranji Trophy, Iyer has somehow experienced a dip in form since then. The 21-year old right-hand batsman had a below par IPL and a mediocre tour of Australia with the India A team. Having scored 2,439 first-class runs in 27 matches, the Mumbaikar would want to get back on track as early as possible. Suryakumar Yadav (Mumbai) - This 26-year old right-hand batsman has been in the limelight for some of the years now. From being appointed as the captain of Mumbai to resigning from the job, he has not let the off-field issues make an impact his on-field performance. The vice-captain of Kolkata Knight Ri
Preview - SA vs AUS - 1st ODI.
It is very infrequent for an international team to tour a nation twice in a year. Having said that, Australia is already in South Africa for an ODI series. The visitors travelled to the same destination earlier this year in March for a 3-match T20I series. The first ODI of the five-match series is all set to unfold in Centurion tomorrow. The home team looked stronger on paper but AB de Villiers' egress due to an elbow injury has put both the teams at the same level. Such is the stature of the man. Temba Bavuma must feel unfortunate to miss out on this series especially after scoring a ton in his debut match against Ireland. Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla are most likely to open the innings for the Proteas. Faf du Plessis will lead the side in de Villiers' absence. The 32-year old right-hand batsman will bat at No. 3. Farhaan Behardien should bat at No. 4, for there are better finishers in the Proteas' line-up than him. His style of batting will also come good for them
Review - IND vs NZ - 1st Test - Day 1.
There was no better occasion than India playing it's 500th test match to kick-start the prolonged season which will comprise of 13 test matches. As a matter of regard, many former test captains were present at the Green Park in Kanpur. Virat Kohli, the current captain of India, won the toss and elected to bat. India went in with the orthodox six batsmen + one wicket-keeper + four bowlers strategy which removed the uncertainty over the inclusion of Rohit Sharma in the playing eleven. With India opting for Murli Vijay and Lokesh Rahul as specialist openers, Shikhar Dhawan had to sit out. In the bowling division, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Amit Mishra were unexpectedly denied a place in the first eleven. On the other hand, New Zealand played a master card by bringing in Luke Ronchi in place of Henry Nicholls. The inclusion of three spinners was expected in the squad. Both Rahul and Vijay started on a positive note for India against Trent Boult and Neil Wagner (who was opening the bowli
The Big Shift.
Mohammad Kaif will be leading the debutant team, Chattisgarh, in the upcoming Ranji season. Here is a list of the big names which have switched to a different state (team) ahead of the 83rd edition of the Ranji Trophy. Ambati Rayudu - The 30-year old right-hand batsman who hails originally from Hyderabad was a part of the Baroda squad from the past six years. However, he will turn up for Vidarbha in this season of the Ranji Trophy. Rayudu has a first-class batting average of 44.83. He has 5,874 runs from 94 matches under his belt. With Rayudu most likely to miss India's prolonged test season, Vidarbha will be keen to gain from his services especially in the absence of Subramaniam Badrinath. Subramaniam Badrinath - And the 36-year old right-hand batsman is the second on our list. The veteran batsman has played most of his cricket for his home state, Tamil Nadu. He captained Vidarbha for the last two seasons and is all set to perform the same duty for Hyderabad this time. H
Preview - WI vs IND - 1st T20I.
A crisp T20I series in Florida was perhaps the best way to terminate India's tour to the West. The host team, West Indies, is ranked No. 3 on the ICC T20I rankings. India, on the other hand, is just one place above them at No. 2. When it comes to the paper, West Indies looks way hefty than India. The presence of all-rounders who fancy the shortest format of the game along with their depth in batting is their principal might. One of the reasons for them being the current 'Champions' of the format. The last time West Indies played a T20I was close to five months ago. The current team is somewhat similar to the one that played in the World Cup. However, the focal point will be Carlos Brathwaite. The 28-year old and 8 T20I's experienced all-rounder is the new captain of the team which obviously means that Darren Sammy will no longer lead the side. The fact that he has been handed the axe as a player as well is hard to digest. Indian bowlers will be looking to dismiss
Preview - Duleep Trophy - India Green vs India Red.
The Indian domestic season 2016-17 will kick-start with the Duleep Trophy being played in the Greater Noida International Cricket Stadium tomorrow. The tournament has been remoulded from it's original structure which incorporated five teams which represented five different zones of the country respectively. This year the tournament will be played amongst three teams, namely India Blue, India Green and India Red. Every team will get a chance each to lock horns against the other teams which will eventually lead to the final. Apart from the change in format, the focal point of this tourney is that it will be played with a pink ball under lights. The transmogrification the ball in cricket's ancestral format will happen for the second time in India. Earlier this year, the final of the Division 1 tournament between Mohun Bagan and Bhawanipore in West Bengal was played with the pink ball. The heart of the tournament also lies in the captains of the three teams. Cricket addicts acro
Preview - 3rd Test - WI vs IND.
After winning two out of three test matches, India has already gained an indomitable lead in the series. Some 15,000+ km away, an Australian white wash has gifted India the No. 1 ranking in test cricket. There are times in life when things look well in place but the question which arises is that are things really in place? As a captain, Virat Kohli might not ask for more from his boys. The latter has become the first Indian captain to register two test wins in a series in West Indies. But the combination ahead of the fourth test will still be a 'sweet headache' for him. India included Rohit Sharma at the expense of a solid top order in St. Lucia. The experiment failed big time in the first innings as the visitors were reduced to 126-5 on the first day itself. The second innings fared comparatively better but quick runs were the need of the hour at that moment. The calibre which remained untouched was solidarity. Rohit Sharma is most likely to play in the fourth test. T
Review - Day 1 - 3rd Test - WI vs IND.
Before the onset of the match, Indian skipper Virat Kohli hinted at playing two out of the three openers which for most people meant that Cheteshwar Pujara would retain his place. Came the toss and Kohli announced that he will send in the same opening pair (Shikhar Dhawan and Lokesh Rahul) from the last match. The catch was that Rohit Sharma was included in the squad at the expense of Pujara. Sharma, 29, who is not tailor-made to bat at No. 3 in test matches was brought in at No. 5. His inclusion in the team came at the outlay of the whole middle order being shuffled. Someone of the value of Murli Vijay was also not included in the test eleven, which baffles everyone. Even Ravindra Jadeja and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were included in place of Amit Mishra and Umesh Yadav. Jason Holder won the toss and chose to bowl. Their U-19 star, Alzarri Joseph was handed debut. Leon Johnson, and not Shai Hope, was incorporated to partner Kraigg Brathwaite at the top of the order. The out of form Devendr
The Asiatic Danger.
Do conditions really change the ambiance of a cricket match? Some might say yes, some might say no, and the argument has it in it to continue throughout the day. Imagine the result of a contest between the No. 1 team and the No. 7 team? Now, imagine the same with respect to home conditions in the game of cricket. Visualize the result of a test match between Australia (No. 1) and Sri Lanka (No. 7) being played in Australia? But this day and age are watching the match being played in Sri Lanka. Chance of a turnaround? Big time yes! Sri Lanka exchanged blows in England without much of a positive result. Their homecoming was expected to provide them some relief, only some because the touring team was the mighty Australia. Came the first test in Pallekele and the No. 1 team was thrashed by 106 runs. Australia was expected to raise the bar of their batting in Galle but getting bundled out on a paltry 106 was nowhere closer to anyone's imagination. The end result being the increase in
Preview - 1st Test - WI vs IND.
The last time India played a test match was some seven and a half months ago. The last venue (New Delhi) that they played in is some 13,000+ km away from Antigua. Such has been the change in time. India won the test series 1-0 during their last tour to the island nation in 2011. With a total of four test matches being played this time, the team under the new coach, Anil Kumble, would be looking for series a win with a larger margin. On the other hand, West Indies would want to replicate their performance from the shortest format. It is easier said than done. But this would be the main motive of the home team. They have it in them to dominate the ancestral format of the game. It is just a matter of time. Cheteshwar Pujara will hold the key for India. West Indies will once again send Rajendra Chandrika to open alongside Kraigg Brathwaite. The former has slowly and steadily established himself at the top of the order for West Indies. Unlike before, he would want a partner who
Review - The Investec Series - 1st Test.
Before the onset of this series, who would have thought that Pakistan would beat England within four days? Yes. The above said has happened. Pakistan has become the first Asian team to defeat England at Lord's for the fourth time. The happenings of the match were nothing less than a screenplay. Having won the toss on Day 1, Misbah-ul-Haq elected to bat first. After losing Shan Masood and Mohammad Hafeez before lunch and Azhar Ali and Younis Khan after it, the 42-year old captain stitched a 148-run partnership with Asad Shafiq. Shafiq got out for a well-made 73 but Misbah continued with the fow of runs. He scored his 10th century in test cricket before stumps on the first day itself. As good as it was, the feat was celebrated in the most apt way possible. However, he failed to stick to his guns on the second day and Pakistan was bundled out for 339. Chris Woakes did not let England miss James Anderson as he picked-up a career best six-for. A total of 339 was not a mammoth one
Review - ENG vs SL - One-off T20I.
Prior to the onset of this tour, Sri Lanka would have been banking on their glorious tour of England in 2014. They did the unexpected in 2014 but failed to do the expected this time around. Their recent loss in the one-off T20I meant that the visitors will end the tour without a sole win across formats. Jos Buttler enjoyed his role at the top of the order. Angelo Mathews, Sri Lankan captain, won the toss and decided to bat first in Southampton. Kusal Mendis, Nuwan Pradeep and Malinda Bandara were handed debuts. On the contrary, England included Liam Dawson and Tymal Mills as debutants. Sri Lanka once again sent Kusal Perera and Danushka Gunathilaka to face the new ball. Chris Jordan started the proceedings for England. The first change bowler in Liam Plunkett was brought in as soon as in the third over. The change immediately worked for Eoin Morgan as Perera's mistimed pull went straight into the hands of Mills as short fine-leg. Gunathilaka and Kusal Mendia once again repa
Review - ENG vs SL - 4th ODI.
With the first match ending in a draw and the third one being favored by the rain gods, the 5-match series was effectively a 3-match series now. And with England winning the second one in Edgbaston, Sri Lanka was left with no option than to win the last two contests in order to clinch the ODI series. Having won the toss, England captain, Eoin Morgan put the visitors to bat. England had included Moeen Ali in place of Chris Jordan whereas Sri Lanka was unchanged. Kusal Perera and Danushka Gunathilaka were sent in to face the new ball. It was not too long before England tasted first blood. In the second over, Jonny Bairstow's direct under-arm throw found Perera short of the crease. Kusal Mendis joined Gunathilaka in the middle and the young duo fought fire with fire. In no time, Gunathilaka and Mendis crossed the 50-run mark. They were 64-1 by the end of the first powerplay. Spin in the form of Adil Rashid was introduced in the 11th over but to no effect. Boundaries coming in at r
Preview - SL tour of ENG - 2nd ODI.
At Nottingham, the first ODI was perhaps nothing short of some screenplay written by a renowned story writer. A target of 287 was at one time not worth considering for England. The host team had lost six wickets before reaching 100. Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes then came into the rescue act. The duo added 138 for the seventh wicket. Woakes' 92-ball 95* emerged as the highest score by a No. 8 batsman in ODIs. All these deeds and still there was no winner. The match ended in a tie. When seven runs were required of the ultimate ball, Liam Plunkett smashed Nuwan Pradeep for a six. Call it the long haul of both teams that both of them deserved not to be o n the losing side or their errors which did not want any of them to be on the winning side. The second ODI, which will be played in Birmingham today will bring with it a scope for one team to end up on the winning side. Eoin Morgan would want to grab that scope. And so would Angelo Mathews. England is likely to remain unchanged.
Review - India tour to Zimbabwe - 2nd ODI.
Another toss won by MS Dhoni. Another batting crumble for Zimbabwe. Another facile target for India. Another comprehensive Indian victory. The story has been same. As has been the characters. India defeated Zimbabwe by 9 wickets in the first ODI and by 8 wickets in the second ODI today. After Dhoni put the host team to bat, their fall down began in the fifth over itself. Hamilton Masakadza went against a Barinder Sran half-volley, only managing to hit it straight in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah, who was fielding at third man. Sran picked up his second wicket in his next over when an unlucky Peter Moor was adjourned leg before the wicket. In the replay, hawkeye suggested that the ball would have missed the stumps. Chamu Chibhabha was the next man to go when Dhawal Kulkarni trapped him in front of the stumps in the 10th over. Zimbabwe was 39-3 after 10 overs. The top order had perished. The damage was done. Vusi Sibanda and Sikandar Raza did the repair work. The duo added 67 runs f

NPCI on Monday launched next generation online payments solution – Unified Payments Interface (UPI) which will leverage trends such as increasing smartphone adoption and deeper penetration of mobile data.
UPI is a channel that powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application (of any bank) of a participating bank, merging several banking features, seamless fund routing and merchant payments into one hood.
It will empower users to perform instant push and pull transactions and transform the way people make payments today.
"Our focus is in line with RBI's vision of migrating towards a 'less-cash' and more digital society. NPCI has always been at the forefront to innovate and introduce new products and services at par with global standards," National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) managing director and CEO A P Hota said.
UPI was today launched by Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan along with Nandan Nilekani, advisor to NPCI.
Hota said a few banks have gone live with UPI out of 29 and other banks will join this year.
"IMPS didn't really have the easy debit capability and that is addressed by this platform. We think with UPI coming, it is going to be an important merchant platform," he added.
UPI facilitates 'virtual address' as a payment identifier for sending and collecting money and works on single click 2 factor authentication.
It also provides an option for scheduling push and pull transactions for various purposes like sharing bills among peers.
One can use UPI app instead of paying cash on delivery on receipt of product from online shopping websites and can perform expenses like paying utility bills, over the counter payments, barcode (scan and pay) based payments, donations, school fees and other such unique and innovative use cases.
2nd term for Raghuram Rajan. To be or not to be?!
Thank you for your comment, It will appear here after admin\'s approval.

Ray Griffin
Ray Griffin didn't start out as an agriculture major at California State University, Chico. But as a resident of the salad bowl of the world, the Salinas Valley, he was aware of the opportunities available in the agriculture industry. So during his junior year at CSU, Chico, Griffin made the decision to switch his major to agricultural business, and he hasn't looked back since.
The 2013 Distinguished Alumnus for the College of Agriculture grew up in Chicago and moved with his family to Salinas during high school. Upon earning his associate degree at Hartnell College, a trip to Chico sold him on the decision to transfer to CSU, Chico. Attracted by the beauty of campus, he entered as a business major with an emphasis in marketing.
Griffin was active in the National Agri-Marketing Association (NAMA), which is the nation's largest association for professionals in marketing and agribusiness. He was also a part of the Red Barn, a non-Greek, coeducational social club that engaged in community service. Pioneer Week was still an important and esteemed tradition at the time, and Griffin has fond memories of the event and the sense of community it built for all students.
"My experience at Chico State really helped develop my social skills," Griffin said. "[The Chico Experience] teaches students how to connect with others, build relationships, and work together, skills which are critical in business and in life."
While visiting CSU, Chico to accept his Distinguished Alumni award, Griffin advised current students to maintain friendships with fellow students who will one day be alumni. "One day you're going to rely on them as a networking resource," he explained.
He says his most memorable classes were those that gave him a sense of what the real business world would be like. A commodities trading course stood out to Griffin and kick-started his interest in understanding and following markets, which he says built the foundation for his knowledge today. In the class, students had to hypothetically purchase and invest in various commodities and monitor their investments performance throughout the semester.
After graduating in 1986, Griffin returned home to the Salinas Valley, where he began working for large-scale family farms. His first job out of college was at Merrill Farms, where he was exposed to real international trade for the first time as a sales coordinator. After six years at Merrill Farms in international marketing, he went to work at Salyer American Fresh Foods, where he built up a sizeable export program for their produce. The crash of the Asian market in the mid-1990s was a make-or-break moment in Griffin's career. Griffin saw the opportunity in the emerging organic market, where he was instrumental in introducing prepackaged fresh organic salads into Canada.
In 1998 Griffin and a colleague struck out to start their own produce marketing company, which Griffin described as a daunting experience.
"I had kids, a mortgage, and car payments, and no guarantee of a stable income," he recalls. "We started FoodSource with a folding table and a couple of chairs."
The company gradually grew and transitioned into a full-service fresh produce sourcing and supply chain management firm headquartered in Monterey, California. Griffin served as vice president for seven years until 2005, when FoodSource was acquired by C.H. Robinson, a Fortune 300 company. Griffin stayed on as general manager and today leads a team of 136 employees with five offices throughout the United States.
Griffin attributes his success to tenacity and hard work, and he encouraged students to show employers how they can be an asset to the company.
"Employees need to have passion and an appetite for hard work," he said. "So take initiative and constantly look for ways to make an impact wherever you go. I look for employees who can take leadership and problem-solve on their feet."
Griffin has sat on boards with United Fresh and Fresh Cut Processors. He has also attended the United Fresh Washington Public Policy conference and participates in the Produce Marketing Association. He is active in his local community, supporting Boy Scouts, Relay for Life, Little League, and local migrant-worker programs. Griffin is father to three children, Steven, Kelly, and Jennifer.
Each college within the University selects a Distinguished Alumnus or Alumna to honor each spring. Ray Griffin was honored as the 2013 College of Agriculture Distinguished Alumnus at a ceremony in the Bell Memorial Union on April 5, 2013.


I just bought Papers 2, do I have to pay again for Papers3?
If you bought Papers2 on or after August 1st, 2013 you are eligible for a free Papers 3 license. If you have a Papers1 or Papers2 serial number, you are eligible for a 50 % discount on Papers 3.
Do you give discount on Papers 3? If you are a student (high school, undergraduate, master, PhD student) you are eligible for a 40 % discount on Papers 3.
I already have a Papers2 license and I'm also a student. Can I get a student discount on top of the upgrade discount?
Unfortunately we don't offer any additional student discount on top of the already discounted upgrade.
Can I migrate my Papers 2 library to Papers 3?
Yes, when you first start Papers 3 you will be asked during the initial start up whether you like to import your Papers 2 library to Papers 3. You can also import your library later from File > Import > Papers 2 library.
If I import my Papers 2 library can I still continue using my library in Papers 2? Can I use both Papers 2 and Papers 3 at the same time?
Papers 2 and Papers 3 are stand alone apps with different libraries and you can continue using Papers 2 at the same time with Papers3.
How can I import my Papers 1 library to Papers 3?
Unfortunately it isn't possible to import your Papers 1 library directly to Papers 3. Instead you first have to migrate the library to Papers 2 and then import your library as Papers 2 format. See http://support.mekentosj.com/kb/getting-started-with-papers2/import... for more details.
I'm a Mendeley/Zotero user. Can I import my Mendeley/Zotero library to Papers 3?
Yes, it is now possible to directly log in to your Mendeley/Zotero library within Papers 3 and import your library to Papers 3. You can do this either in the Search mode, or by going to File > Import > Mendeley/Zotero library import.
Can I import my current Papers for iOS library to Papers 3 for iOS?
Yes you can. When you first start Papers 3 for iOS there is an option to import your Papers 1 library. You can also do it later on from the Setting menu.
I have a Papers license number. Can I use it to activate Papers 3 for iOS? If not, can I get any discount on the iOS version if I own a desktop license?
Papers 3 for iOS is a separate product from the desktop applications and you have to buy the iOS app separately from iTunes App Store. Because we depend on Apple for purchases on the App Store we are unable to give any discount on the iOS version either.
Can I use another cloud service apart from Dropbox? Do you plan to support any other cloud services in the future?
At the moment Dropbox syncing is the only available option. Please let us know what other backend system you would like us to support.
Instead of Dropbox syncing, why can't you support iCloud syncing?
There are several reasons why we can't offer iCloud syncing. First of all, Apple wouldn't allow us to use iCloud syncing as most of the Papers library content is not user-generated. Secondly, iCloud syncing has proven to be technically unreliable for many other software developers. Thirdly, it wouldn't be possible to use iCloud syncing to sync Papers library data to Papers for Windows. And finally, if were to offer iCloud syncing , we would have to have Papers in the Mac App store (see next question).
Why can't you buy Papers 3 from the Mac App store? Can I buy Papers 3 with my App store gift card?
One of the main reasons why we can't have Papers in the Mac App store is that at the moment, Magic Citations cannot be implemented without violating some of the rules of the Mac App Store, the major issue being the requirement to sandbox the process. In particular, Magic Citations needs to determine the front application, and makes use of Applescript to interact with the front application. It also needs read access to the file corresponding to the front window, as well as write access to that file (in the case of Word), or to a newly created file in the same directory.We are still hopeful that these issues can be resolved, and we can work around some of these limitations with Apple.
Where has Livfe disappeared? Do my Livfe collections still exist?
We are currently working on major improvements on Livfe but we are not finished with them yet.
However, your Papers2 Livfe collections still exist in your Papers library database even though they cannot be accessed at the moment in Papers 3.
Can I use my license to install Papers on more than one computers at the same time? Yes, you can use the same Papers license to activate Papers in up to three computers (Mac and PC) at the same time.
Which MacOS version does Papers 3 require?
Papers 3 works on MacOS 10.9 and above.
When will you offer full retina screen support for Papers 3?
That's certainly one of the high priorities in the first upcoming 3.x updates.
Can I sync my Papers 3 for iOS library between my iPhone and iPad?
Yes, you can sync two Papers 3 for iOS libraries between each other with Dropbox syncing.
**Why does Papers give me a message saying "no dropbox account detected" when I try to link it to my dropbox, I am signed into dropbox.
If you do not have the dropbox application in stalled on your computer, Papers will not detect a dropbox account. You will have to have a physical dropbox folder on your computer that syncs with your dropbox account. Only being logged into dropbox on your browser is not sufficient. You can download the dropbox application from the dropbox website.
Is Papers available in any other language than English and if not, do you plan to support other languages in the future?
Papers is currently only available in English. We don't have plans to translate Papers to other languages in the immediate future but it is something that we would like to do at some stage. Thank you for your patience.
Is it possible to only sync certain collections in my Papers 3 library to Papers 3 for iOS or only the metadata?
At the moment this isn't possible but it is something we hope to implement in the coming updates.
I imported my Papers 2 library to Papers 3. Why is my Papers 3 library folder size smaller than the Papers 2 library folder?
When you import your Papers2 library to Papers3, it doesn't copy spotlight index, thumbnails or OCR output from the Papers2 folder (they are recreated on each of the devices), so it completely expected that the library folder size is reduced.
Can I use Papers 3 to work on Word documents I created using Magic Citations from Papers 2? If I insert new citations on a new document, will they come from Papers 2 o Papers 3 library?
Yes, you can. The content of the manuscript will be recognized by both versions and both versions can work on the same document. For instance: if you work on a Word document with Papers2 in your lab, you can continue working on it using Papers3 on your Mac at home.
However, if you have both Papers2 and Papers3 installed on the same computer, it can be confusing when you search, because depending on which version ran last, it will search your Papers2 library or your Papers3 library. If you only want to use Magic Citations with Papers3, go to Preferences > Citations in Papers2 and turn on Magic Citations (or vice versa if you prefer using Papers2 and Magic Citations).
What is the lock file that keeps coming up with Dropbox syncing? Is it possible to hide it?
There's no setting in Papers to switch this off, as the update is coming from Dropbox rather than Papers. However you can switch off those notifications by clicking on the dropbox icon on your menu bar, click the gear symbol and select Preferences. Finally, on the General tab, untick the box for "Show desktop notification".
The Lock file is required by Papers to tell other copies of Papers connected to the database that the database is in use. It's a very small file, so it wont be taking up much space. It doesn't mean that the app is syncing, but it does stop anything else from accessing the database at the same time (which would cause corruption).
As of Papers 3 for Mac version 3.2.10 we support MS Word 2016 with Magic Citations. Please bear in mind that it is still early days for the new version of Word and Microsoft may release updates which may cause instability with our app. We will of course endeavour to rectify any issues as quickly as possible.
