Although Tantra is very popular, not many people understand its real meaning. Tantra, or Secret Mantra, is a special method and meditation practice to purify our world, our self, our enjoyments and activities and is the quick path to enlightenment. Through studying and practicing Buddha's Tantric teachings we are given a clear vision of what enlightenment is and special tools to accomplish this state swiftly. Gen Kelsang Demo will clarify this profound practice and reveal how, through using pure motivation, faith, wisdom, and positive imagination, we can transform our world into the world of a Tantric enlightened Buddha.
This course is suitable for everyone, particularly those who are new to Tantra or are interested in taking Tantric empowerment; it is also a perfect introduction for those attending the 2018 NKT Summer Festival this year and who will receive the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment there. However, there is no commitment involved in attending today's course. Everybody is welcome.

UK pardons thousands of men convicted of historic gay sex offences
Joseph McCormick January 31, 2017

Thousands of men convicted of historic gay sex offences have been pardoned under Turing's Law, as promised by the UK Government.
The Policing and Crime Bill was today given Royal Assent, meaning amendments pardoning those convicted of being in consensual same-sex relationships.
As well as the posthumous pardons, the Bill also enables living gay men to apply though the Home Office's disregard process to have their historic offences removed.
Justice Minister Sam Gyimah said: "This is a truly momentous day. We can never undo the hurt caused, but we have apologised and taken action to right these wrongs.
"I am immensely proud that 'Turing's Law' has become a reality under this government."
Computing hero World War II codebreaker Alan Turing, who was convicted of gross indecency in 1952, was previously granted a one-off posthumous royal pardon in 2013. However, the new law has disregarded the offences of thousands of men.
Anyone living who has been convicted of these now abolished offences could already apply through the Home Office to have their names cleared and criminal records expunged, under a process introduced by the Coalition government's 2012 Protections of Freedoms Act.
However, the new law goes further in granting posthumous pardons, also introducing a statutory pardon for the living. in cases where offences have been successfully deleted through the disregard process.
Some campaigners have spoken out to say that sweeping pardons are not the best idea, and that holding authorities to account and remembering the past is a better option.
PinkNews journalist Benjamin Butterworth spoke to 5News about the story:
Pardon for thousands of gay men
"Some families would have preferred an apology" – Benjamin Butterworth from PinkNews on the posthumous pardon for 49,000 gay and bisexual men
#AlanTuring #TuringsLaw
Posted by Channel 5 News on Tuesday, January 31, 2017
Former Prime Minister David Cameron said he would "look into" pardoning men convicted of historic gay sex offences back in 2013.
The Conservative Party then in 2015 pledged to extend pardons to gay men convicted of historic sex offences in its manifesto.
Men convicted of historic gay sex offences in Northern Ireland will also be pardoned as a Legislative Consent Motion went ahead back in November.
Of the England and Wales legislation, Justice Minister Sam Gyimah previously said: "It is hugely important that we pardon people convicted of historical sexual offences who would be innocent of any crime today.
"Through pardons and the existing disregard process we will meet our manifesto commitment to put right these wrongs."
The Government plans to secure the change by supporting Lib Dem peer Lord Sharkey's amendment to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 through the Policing and Crime Bill.
Commenting on the news that the Government will support the Liberal Democrat amendment, the author of the amendment, Lord Sharkey said: "This is a momentous day for thousands of families up and down the UK who have been campaigning on this issue for decades. I am very grateful for the Government's support and the support of many of my colleagues in Parliament.
"It is a wonderful thing that we have been able to build on the pardon granted to Alan Turing during Coalition by extending it to the thousands of men convicted of sexual offences that existed before homosexuality was decriminalised in 1967 and which would not be crimes today."
The leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron MP added: "The Liberal Democrats continue to be the strongest voice on equality in Parliament.
"This was a manifesto commitment which even in opposition, thanks to the tireless work of our MPs and peers and those from other parties, we have been able to deliver on."

Death toll in Karak attacks rises to 14, including four terrorists
All civilians trapped in old castle freed — Momani
By Rana Husseini - Dec 18,2016 - Last updated at Dec 19,2016
Ambulances are seen in front of the Italian Hospital in Karak, where some of the injured in a terror attack were evacuated on Sunday (Reuters photo)
AMMAN — Four terrorists were killed in a security operation in the southern governorate of Karak on Sunday after 10 people were killed in attacks, including four police officers and three gendarmes.
Two civilians and a Canadian citizen were killed, while 22 other civilians and police officers were injured when four gunmen stormed the southern city and fired at security and civilians before heading to the Karak Castle, official sources said.
Government Spokesperson Mohammad Momani told The Jordan Times that the Kingdom will remain resilient against attempts to disturb its stability and security, extending Jordan's condolences to the Canadian government over the loss of the Canadian national.
Momani and the Public Security Department (PSD) said all the civilians who were trapped in the Karak Castle when the terrorists withdrew there were freed following a five-hour rescue operation.
Security forces evacuated people who were residing near the Karak castle, a resident who preferred anonymity, told The Jordan Times.
"The forces closed all main entries to the town and asked residents to stay at home and follow security instructions," the resident said.
Several videos that circulated on social media on Sunday purported dozens of residents carrying armed weapons and "pledging to help security forces to fight the terrorists."
Other video clips captured armored vehicles and gendarmerie forces as they entered the city heading to the castle.
A second witness, a 23-year-old accountant, said four men entered the city with a vehicle and clashed with police.
"They were firing randomly and many people were injured," the eyewitness told The Jordan Times over the phone.
"I hid under a vehicle to avoid the flying bullets but several people were injured from the fire exchange between the suspects and the security forces," the eyewitness, who preferred anonymity, said.
He added that the suspects then headed to the castle and took hostages there. Momani said there were no hostage taking, but rather people were trapped and then freed.
"Several security forces and sharp shooters surrounded the castle, while helicopters hovered over the ancient ruins," he added.
The PSD issued a statement earlier in the day saying that the incident occurred when a police unit responded to a fire alert that erupted in a house in Qatraneh to the north of Karak.
"Unidentified assailants fired at the officers, injuring two of them then fled in a vehicle," the PSD statement said.
Shortly afterwards, the statement added, the terrorists shot at a police patrol in the Karak governorate followed by more shots at a police station when they took refuge in the castle.
He said Special Forces have surrounded an area in the southern city where 10 of the suspected attackers were entrenched in.
Addressing a Parliament session earlier in the day, Prime Minister Hani Mulki said there was no information on the attackers, describing them as "outlaws".
He said the incident started in Qatraneh town, north of Karak, when the unknown assailants opened fire from a cafe's rooftop at a police patrol. Later on, he said, they targeted other patrols in the governorate.

This sect of Buddhist thought offers much perspective on recognizing reality, just the way it is, then leaving it behind as an illusion. The koan ("koh-ahn"), a question intended for Zen students to contemplate, and the answer to which enlightens the realizer, is one of my favorite tools for Zen meditation.
The saying that led me to develop my current path in yoga is a Zen saying, "If you meet the Buddha on the road, you must kill him." The meaning is, kill your illusions - there is no way you would just encounter true awakening (Buddha) on the journey, without some struggle. Zen is the path of harsh realization, acceptance and ego death. Kill your wish to be perfect and you are more on the way to awakening than ever.

Lib Dems triumph in Nonsuch by-election
Newly elected Cllr Gerry Jerome
Sutton's Liberal Democrats were celebrating last night as they saw their candidate, Gerry Jerome, romp home to a decisive victory in the Nonsuch ward by-election with over 50% of the votes in a high turnout contest. The Conservatives lost the seat to the Liberal Democrats with their vote falling by 7%.
In a high turnout the Liberal Democrats saw their share of the vote increase. This result follows on from last month's European elections which saw the Lib Dem vote going up, while both the Conservative and Labour votes went down.
Gerry joins his wife Kirsty and colleague Roger Roberts as councillors for Nonsuch ward. Commenting on his result Gerry Jerome said: "I am grateful to the people who voted for me. The result demonstrates that people like having a Liberal Democrat Council and a Liberal Democrat MP working for them. Now it's down to work: getting action on Victoria House, pressing Mayor Johnson to get Central Road moving and working hard for everyone in Worcester Park and North Cheam ."
With the Conservatives failing to hold the seat, local MP Paul Burstow hailed the result as a further sign of Lib Dem momentum: "The reception on the doorsteps was very positive. People like the way the Lib Dem Council is running the borough. The voters have spoken: The Liberal Democrats are going up, the Tories are going down and Labour is out of the race."
Nonsuch By Election Result:
Gerry Jerome, Liberal Democrats: 1,665 votes (50.6% share)
Georg Braun, Conservative Party: 1,329 votes (40.4% share)
Peter North, British National Party: 211 votes (6.4% share)
Marcus Papadopoulos, Labour Party: 88 votes (2.7% share)
Majority 336
3298 ballots issued (41% turnout)
5.25% swing from the Conservatives to the Liberal Democrats

Mysterious Hauntings: Poveglia Island, Italy's Island of Ghosts
Who among us wouldn't love an island getaway? Warm, sandy beaches, picturesque sunsets, and crystal clear waterfalls rushing into cool, refreshing lagoons. Yeah, I could grab a drink and get into that. Wouldn't it be even better if it was your own island? Completely abandoned without the crowding of other tourists milling about. I guess it really depends on the island, now doesn't it? While many of us have probably imagined an island all our own, we have definitely never imagined one where the screams of the land's past wake us in the night.
Wikipedia's page on Poveglia Island states that it was first mentioned in chronicles as early as 421. This was during the Goth and Hun invasions of the 5th century. The Romans escaped the invasions and for centuries afterward, the island was abandoned. This would become an eerie trend in the history of the most infamous island in the Venetian Lagoon.
By the 9th century, the population had grown and so had the island's importance to the city of Venice. Its defensive location made it a perfect spot to build an outpost. In the 14th century, a fort was erected to ensure that any enemy ship that approached the city would be destroyed before reaching it. However, the Genoan fleet attacked Venice in 1379. The residents of Poveglia were relocated to Giudecca, another island of the Venetian Lagoon. Once again, the island sat vacant and abandoned for centuries.
Though most of the cursed island's history is grim, there was a point when the area prospered. According to the Luxe Adventure Traveler, Poveglia Island thrived economically for a time, until 1378, that is. It was at that time that the once prosperous community was devastated by the war of Chioggia. By the war's end in 1381, only a few dozen of its inhabitants were able to return home.
In 1527, the doge tried to unload the deserted location. A doge was an elected lord and head of state in several Italian city-states and they were often referred to as "crowned republics." He attempted to offer Poveglia Island to the Camaldolese monks, who refused it. The seemingly cursed land sat uninhabited until it presented itself as a grand solution for the deadliest outbreak of the bubonic plague to strike Europe.
The Black Death, as it came to be known, ravaged the entire country, but the city of Venice took one of the worst batterings from the epidemic. An international trading hub, the city was extremely susceptible to the disease's rapid spread. They happily welcomed ships from all corners of the known world at that time, also allowing the plague into their city. This outbreak led the Italian government to create the first system of quarantining. The small 17 acre island was proposed for quarantining anyone inside the city, or arriving, that showed signs of illness. The standard time for isolation was 40 days. The word quarantine is even derived from the Italian word quaranta, meaning 40.
All That's Interesting reports that as early as the 16th century, people were being dragged to the island, kicking and screaming as it's been told by many sources. Even the slightest symptom of illness could land an unfortunate soul on Poveglia Island. Many that were sent for 40-day quarantines never left the island. Those that may not have been sick at the time most definitely would've caught the disease once they were exposed to others suffering illness. Starting in 1645, the Venetian government built five octagonal forts to protect and control the entrance to the lagoon. Four of the forts still stand today, one of which is known as The Poveglia octagon.
Throughout the centuries that Poveglia Island housed plague victims, more than 160,000 were sent there. Many of them died on that forsaken piece of land, never seeing their loved ones again. Mass graves were dug to bury some of the dead and even the dying. All That's Interesting states that untold thousands were also cremated there. The cremated remains were never properly cleaned up as death was a daily occurrence on the island. Due to this fact, it's said that roughly 50% of Poveglia Island's soil is human ash. Jerry Pauley mentions on Hillbilly Horror Stories that the ground itself actually feels different to walk upon than any other beach you've ever visited. This is due to the fragmented human bones mixed in with the cremated remains.
The island northeast of Poveglia, Lazzaretto Vecchio, was becoming overwhelmed with the number of corpses piling up there as well. All That's Interesting provides statements from archaeologist Vincenzo Gobbo, who says that roughly 500 people died there every day. With half of Venice's population wiped out by the Black Death, it's not surprising that the surviving inhabitants were constantly working to bury or cremate the deceased.
16th century chronicler Rocco Benedetti visited Poveglia Island and wrote of the hell he witnessed there. Sick and dying patients laying three to four in a single bed. Mass graves with numerous bodies all thrown in together. Workers dug graves all day long, every single day, without a moment's break. Oftentimes, patients that were too sick to move or speak were taken for dead and thrown into the mass graves with those already passed.
During the 18th century, the damned island became a key part of Venice's epidemic prevention plan. The city created a network of lazaretti, or plague stations, located on different islands in the Venetian Lagoon. The Magistrate of Health turned Poveglia Island into the primary plague checkpoint in 1777. It became the most important of all the inspection ports as any ship sailing into Venice had to stop there first. Any crew members showing the slightest sign of illness were kept on the island for 40 days, until they were determined to be sick or healthy. Due to the lack of knowledge about the spread of disease in the 18th century, many of these crew members got sick and died before their 40 days came to an end.
Atlas Obscura points out that Napoleon Bonaparte stored weapons on the island for a time before it became a quarantine site. The small 17 acres was easily missed by passing ships, making it the perfect spot for a secret arsenal. However, his cache of weapons was discovered and many small battles ensued. These battles claimed the lives of many soldiers, further staining Poveglia's soil with the blood of those unprepared to die. While Napoleon was utilizing the isle for his arsenal, he also decided to make some changes. He had the old church and bell tower destroyed, converting the tower into a lighthouse.
When the dark cloud that was the bubonic plague finally lifted from over Europe, the island found itself sitting abandoned once again. It wouldn't find its purpose again until 1922, when it was transformed into a mental hospital. This would truly morph the previous quarantine site into a new kind of hell altogether. Rumors quickly spread of a doctor performing horrendous and torturous experiments on the patients. According to the Luxe Adventure Traveler, he conducted these experiments in the hopes that he would find a way to cure insanity. Among the morbid tests he's said to have conducted, lobotomies were a major one. Ranker states that he would perform his lobotomies with an array of strange and horrid tools, such as drills, hammers, and chisels. Many of these macabre pieces of hardware can still be found at the broken-down old hospital today.
His mind altering experimentation didn't stop at lobotomies. This unnamed Frankenstein doctor was also known to take patients to the bell tower against their will to torture them in unknown ways. It's said that the screams of tormented patients could be heard across the small island. There was never any kind of record kept of the goings-on at the bell tower. To this day, no one knows what kind of hell those poor souls endured. What we do know is that the screams emanating from the tower's loft were most certainly heard by patients and staff alike.
The good doctor supposedly began to suffer signs of mental illness himself, driven to insanity by the souls of those he tormented to death. Luxe Adventure Traveler states that he had even claimed to others at the hospital that he was being driven mad by the patients. As though Karma was working overtime, he eventually met his end at the bell tower in the 1930s. Whether he leapt from the top, or was thrown is unknown and up for debate. A nurse working at the facility apparently witnessed the doctor's fall, but was uncertain if he'd jumped or been thrown. Many speculate as to whether or not unknown forces were responsible. Did the souls that he robbed of life in that bell tower take his in revenge?
Poveglia's mental hospital remained open for nearly 50 years, closing its doors in 1968. During its operation, many patients reported hearing screams in the night as they tried to sleep. They thought that the souls of the plague sufferers and victims of the storied mad doctor were still there, existing in everlasting agony. They would also report seeing apparitions of the souls claimed by the Black Death in the Middle Ages. Of course, these reports were written off by staff as the insane ramblings of mental patients.
Once the hospital was shut down, the building was left abandoned along with the island. With vegetation creeping up the decaying walls and through the broken windows, it looks much like a scene out of I Am Legend. Atlas Obscura points out that the hospital is also claimed to be a former retirement home. Nevertheless, signs that mental patients were housed at the facility before major breakthroughs in psychiatry are easily found around every corner.
Since the hospital's closure, it has been illegal to visit the island. Many locals of Venice refer to it as the Island of Ghosts, due to its morbid and storied past. Venetian residents know the stories well and steer clear of the most infamous island in the lagoon. Fishermen will not even fish near that area for fear of what they may hear or witness on the island. It's considered to be the most haunted place in the world. Photographers, journalists, and paranormal investigators from shows like Ghost Adventures have been permitted to visit the island. They all quickly found in doing so that cab drivers don't particularly care for driving anywhere near the tainted land of human remains. Not only out of fear of being arrested, but fear of the island, itself.
With such a long and gruesome history, it comes as no surprise that Poveglia Island has worked its way into pop culture since the 18th century. Some time after it was sealed off as a quarantine site following the discovery of disease on two ships, stories began to spread. Wikipedia reports that locals were already telling the stories of those that had been hauled off to the site to await death before returning to haunt the location for eternity. The mental hospital did nothing to help the island's image. More stories began to spread about the ringing bell tower. Not long after the cruel doctor's death, the bell was removed from the tower, but it continued to ring nonetheless. A report titled "Haunted History" states that renovation on the island had abruptly stopped soon after beginning, with no explanation.
The trend continues today with Poveglia Island being featured on such television shows as Ghost Adventures and Scariest Places On Earth. Podcasts have also regaled listeners on the spooky history. Hillbilly Horror Stories, And That's Why We Drink, The Farthest Reaches, Origin Mysteries, and Haunted History Podcast are just a few that have covered this story. The advancement of technology has only helped to further it in new and interesting ways over time. It's funny to think that we've gone from locals telling this story over fires in the 18th century to podcasters and television hosts now telling the same story to much larger audiences today.
Business Insider reported in 2014 that the Italian government was attempting to auction off the haunted spit of land. The auction was an effort to raise money that would cover the country's national debt. Italy was offering up a 99-year lease agreement to the highest bidder. Their effort was met with outrage from the Venetian public. Locals wanted to stop the private sale and keep ownership of the island local. This way, it could be opened up to the public for the first time.
Attempts to prevent the sale failed, and in May 2014, online bidders battled for the island. According to Business Insider, The Telegraph had reported that just the barracks alone had previously sold for 3.8 million euro. The winning bid ended up coming in at 400,000 euro, according to the Daily Mail. They also stated that restoration of the buildings was estimated to cost around 16.25 million euro.
It was the hope of the Italian government that the new owner would open the island up to the public. Build a luxury hotel and re-brand the ghostly island with the storied past. Could you even imagine the advertisement? Come to Poveglia Island and bury your feet in the ashes of untold thousands! Italian businessman and winner of the soiled soil, Luigi Brugnaro, had no initial plans after buying the property. He knew that he wanted it to serve some public use, but never seemed to land on a project. Or maybe he wasn't allowed to complete one.
It's still illegal to visit the island today. Not only would you be trespassing on private property, but you would quite literally be stepping on the bones and ashes of thousands. There's a saying in Venice. It goes, "When an evil man dies, he wakes up in Poveglia." Due to the legend that seems to surround it, Venetians would rather be safe than sorry. No one sets foot on the island for their own personal safety.
Out of 166 islands scattered throughout the Ventian Lagoon, I think I can find a better one to visit. At least one I won't be arrested for trying to visit. Although, I will say that opening such a place to the public could be very educational for those that don't understand how far we've come as a society. Over the course of centuries we've managed to rise above a complete lack of medical knowledge, learning and growing along the way. Long gone are the days of quarantining multitudes of people together. As are the days of cruel experiments meant to teach us more about biology and human behavior. Today we can simply go to the doctor for a quick prescription or worry ourselves to death on WebMD. Regardless, of how much that could be learned from such a historic site, Italy's Island of Ghosts may not be visited by the public.

I would like to introduce you to many of these facilities, but one of the most unique is the painting of hell, which is contrasted with "Michelangelo's Last Judgment" and so on.
1 Main hall and Three-storied pagoda
2 Authentic Rose Garden
3 The Hall of Gold and Platinum
4 Jigoku-do (The hall of hell)
Main hall and Three-storied pagoda
The main hall was built in 1,283 and is designated as the National Treasures. Inside the main hall, there are many statues of Buddha that are designated as important cultural property such as the seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai.
The symbol of the temple, the three-storied pagoda (Important Cultural Properties), is also preserved and managed in a clean state. The vermilion exterior makes the landscape even more spectacular.
The Sanmon (The main gate of a Buddhist temple) at the entrance to Ryosen-ji is Torii gate. Torii is usually found only in shrines, as typified by Fushimi Inari Shrine. The temple and Torii combination is quite rare and rarely seen elsewhere.
Torii gate
Authentic Rose Garden
The rose garden can be said to be a new landmark of Ryosen-ji, which was built in recent years, and roses of 200 varieties and 2,000 roses create a spectacular view every spring and autumn when they are in full bloom.
Today Ryosen-ji is more famous for its rose garden than for its temples, and when roses are in full bloom, the garden is crowded with tourists.
The rose garden is not particularly connected to Ryosen-ji's history, but rather is a modern European garden that was built to attract more tourists. Because it is built on the site of the temple, it is said that the combination of Japanese style and Western style is rare.
The roses bloom throughout the park from the beginning of May to the middle of June and from the middle of October to the beginning of November every year.
The Hall of Gold and Platinum
Kinkaku-ji and Ginkaku-ji in Kyoto are famous, but Ryosen-ji in Nara has Ogon-den (The hall of gold) and Hakkin-den (The hall of platinum).
It is a modern building made of reinforced concrete, and everything inside is a hall covered with gold leaf or platinum leaf.
Ogon-den (The hall of gold)
The Ogon-den and Hakkin-den are arranged to be contrasted by buildings of the same size and shape. Gold leaf is often used to decorate buildings, but the hall decorated with platinum leaf is very rare and can only be found here.
Is there anyone who is a little disappointed that Ginkaku-ji in Kyoto is not covered with silver leaf?
Looking at these 2 halls, I guess they made a lot of money from rose garden.
Jigoku-do (The hall of hell)
There is a white hall standing quietly in a corner of a small mountain in the precincts. Here is a painting that is said to be contrasted with "Michelangelo's Last Judgment".
When you enter the hall, you can see the picture of hell decorated all around the wall.
Enma Daio is the presiding judge who judges the dead. He judge people who committed crimes in their lives but did not make amends. He makes such people go to hell.
Enma Daio (A judge of hell)
This picture depicts the state of hell. a bird with a sharp iron beak, devouring the sinners' eyes. It is a punishment that a person who steals a person's eyes and commits a crime or deceives.
This is a hell where people who have committed a crime of speaking such as lying or bad-mouthing others fall. The ogre is cutting the man's tongue.
The scariest thing about Hell is that you can't get out of it forever.

Yep, it's another hockey post.
Tonight is the last game of the NHL season. Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.
I'll be watching, but I could really care less who wins because I hate both teams. That's not quite accurate, for although I hate the Carolina Hurricanes in their entirety, the only Edmonton Oiler that I really hate is Chris Pronger.
I absolutely understand that my feelings toward Chris Pronger are a manifestation of BDS. No, not that one, the other one: Bonds Derangement Syndrome.
Chris Pronger is and has always been a great player, but in his youth he was a dirty player. This opinion is offered up as viewed through my visceral dislike of him, so don't be emailing me facts and opinions. They mean nothing.
Nature is balance. Just like when Florence Nightengale was alive the Brooklyn Dodgers were created. Her goodness shone so brightly that an entire *team* of evil had to exist as a counterbalance. Wayne Gretzky is another example. Multiple winner of the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, awarded to the player "who displays the best sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct in addition to playing ability", Gretzky was so good that nature created the Philadelphia Flyers. Even that crew of goons wasn't enough, and players like Tie Domi, Eric Lindros and Todd Bertuzzi were caused to exist.
Chris Pronger played for years for the St. Louis Blues, which until recently meant automatic playoffs and then a quiet exit in one of the early rounds. It's a good thing that he's gone deeper into the playoffs in his first year with Edmonton than he ever got with the Blues. He's matured, he's not the big-mouth hothead that he was in his youth, he's a team leader in Edmonton. And yes, I can admit that he's still a very very talented player. But he's still Chris Pronger, and I hate him.
So tonight I'll be watching game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, but no matter who wins, it's going to be bittersweet for me. I actually am rooting for Edmonton, because Chris Pronger deserves to carry that Cup around the ice. Whoa, did I just say that? Must be the guilt talking.
so, do you like Chris Pronger or not?

The pieces of ice made his fingers look magnified as he held them. A swift smack with the back of a spoon turned them into tiny frozen daggers that he dropped into a tall clear pitcher.
One might think gin preference is the most controversial ingredient in the King of Cocktails. To a martini drinker, every ingredient is suspect. For him, as long as the gin was over ninety-four proof and lived in a green bottle he had no qualms. It truly comes down to the vermouth used and the final drink temperature. No gin in the world can compete against shoddy vermouth and tepidity. Vermouth from Marseillan was his only dependable option.
He mixed the two liquids aggressively with a long-handled spoon. It couldn't be called a stir or a shake-- a hard jostle was more like it. He let it sit while he grabbed a small stemmed glass from the freezer. A quick pour split cocktail from ice. He then took a lemon rind and twisted it over the surface of the drink taking care to not touch the lip of the glass.
The hour hand on his watch hovered above the six as he threw out the lemon peel. Perfect timing. If one is going to have two martinis during the cocktail hour the first one must be served precisely at six or you won't make it in time. Not that there is any rush of course.

Q: How can I use MATLAB program to create a new column array with random arrangements of 1, 2 and 3?
Possible Duplicate:
Generate random number with given probability matlab

I need to create a column vector with random assignments of the number 1, 2 and 3. However i need to be able to control the percentage occurrence of each oif these 3 numbers.
For example, i have a 100 x 1 column vector and I want 30 of the number 1, 50 of the number 2 and 20 of the number 3, in a random assignments.

A: I am not sure whether you can do that with rand or randi function.
May be you can write a small module something like this :
bit1 = 1 * ones(1,20);
bit2 = 2 * ones(1,50);
bit3 = 3 * ones(1,30);

bits = [bit1 bit2 bit3];
randbits = bits(:, randperm(length(bits)))

A: You can do it using the CDF (cumulative destribution function) of the percentage of each number.
pdf = [ 30 50 20 ]/100; % the prob. distribution fun. of the samples
cdf = cumsum( pdf );
% I assume here all entries of the PDF are positive and sum(pdf)==1
% If this is not the case, you may normalize pdf to sum to 1.

The sampling itself
n = 100; % number of samples required
v = rand(n,1); % uniformly samples
tmp = bsxfun( @le, v, cdf );
[~, r] = max( tmp, [], 2 );

As observed by @Dan (see comment below), last line can be replaced with
r = numel(pdf) + 1 - sum( tmp, 2 );

The vector r is a random vector of integers 1,2,3 and should satisfy the desired pdf

Recently, Ive been getting a lot of people asking me about my thesis, mostly asking to read it. What follows this update will be something along those lines- a piece of my thesis, edited and revised to stand on its own, as a look into the nature of conventions as pilgrimages. I wrote a lot in the end result on this matter, along with the idea of attendees as consumers of fandom in general. That piece will come a little later (still editing it now), but I hope that what I publish here will offer at least a better look into the world of anime conventions are more than just a bunch of kids screaming "Marco Polo" or "the cake is a lie." And while I have no doubt that some of the ideas presented therein are not universally applicable to all attendees at convention, I know for a fact that, at least for some of them, they judge these events on along the same lines, and possibly have noticed what I have. You can't go to 20+ conventions in 2 years and not notice some of these things for yourself.

\section{Introduction}

The semileptonic $B$ meson decay channels are known as  useful tools to
accurately calculate the Standard Model (SM) parameters like determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix, check the validity of the SM,  describe the origin of the CP
violation and search for new physics effects.
By recent experimental progresses, it has become precise  measurements available, and it is possible to
perform precision calculations. Although the  $B$
meson decays are studied efficiently both theoretically and
experimentally (see for instance \cite{amo,hok,san,aaij,leesj,boz,faj,colangelo,Becirevic,elvir,yang}),
most of $B_{s}$ properties are not very clear yet (for some related theoretical and experimental studies on this meson see \cite{lees,aj,aij,abaz,eric,gan,Albertus,Steinhauser,Bouchard,Albertus1} and references therein).
Since the  detection and identification of this heavy meson is relatively
difficult in the experiment,  the theoretical and phenomenological
studies on the spectroscopy and decay properties of this mesons can play essential role in our
understanding of its  non-perturbative dynamics, calculating the related parameters of the SM and providing opportunities to search for
possible  new physics contributions.

 In the literature, there are a lot of theoretical studies devoted to the semileptonic transition of $ B_{s}$ into the pseudoscalar $D_{s}$ and vector  $D^*_{s}$ charmed-strange mesons. But, we have no study on the
semileptonic transitions of this meson into the tensor charmed-strange meson in final state, although it is expected to have considerable contribution to the total decay width of the $ B_{s}$ meson.
In this accordance, in the present study, we investigate  the semileptonic $ B_{s} \rightarrow D_{s2}^{*}(2573)\ell\bar{\nu }_{\ell}$ transition in the framework of three-point QCD sum rule  \cite{shif}
as one of the most attractive and powerful techniques in hadron phenomenology, where the $D_{s2}^{*}(2573)$ is the low lying charmed-strange tensor meson with $J^P=2^+$. In particular,
we calculate the transition form factors entering the low energy matrix elements defining the transition under consideration. We find the working regions of the auxiliary parameters entering
the calculations from different transformations, considering the criteria of the method used. This is followed by finding the behavior of the form factors in terms of the transferred momentum squared,
 which are then used to estimate the total width and branching fraction in all lepton channels. Note that the semileptonic
 $ B\rightarrow D_{2}^{*}(2460)\ell\bar{\nu }_{\ell}$ decay channel is analyzed in \cite{sahin} using the same method. The spectroscopic properties of the charmed-strange tensor meson $D_{s2}^{*}(2573)$ is also investigated in
\cite{azizi} using a two-point correlation function.

The layout of the paper is as follows.  In next section, the QCD
sum rules for the four form factors relevant to the semileptonic $
B_{s} \rightarrow D_{s2}^{*}(2573)\ell\bar{\nu }_{\ell}$ transition are
obtained.  Section 3 contains numerical analysis of the form
factors, calculation of their behavior in terms of $q^2$ as well as the estimation of the total decay width and branching ratio for the transition under consideration.

\section{Theoretical framework}

In order to calculate the form factors, associated with the semileptonic $ B_{s}
\rightarrow D_{s2}^{*}(2573)\ell\bar{\nu }_{\ell}$ transition via QCD sum rule formalism, we consider the following three-point correlation
function:

\begin{eqnarray}\label{correl.func.101}
\Pi _{\mu\alpha\beta}=i^2\int d^{4}x\int d^{4}y
e^{-ip.x}e^{ip'.y}{\langle}0\mid {\cal
T}\Big[J_{\alpha\beta}^{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}(y) J^{tr}_{\mu}(0)
J^{B_{s}^{\dag}}(x)\Big]\mid0{\rangle},
\end{eqnarray}
where ${\cal T}$ is the
time ordering operator and
$J^{tr}_{\mu}(0)=\bar{c}(0)\gamma_{\mu}(1-\gamma_5)b(0)$ is the
transition current. The interpolating currents of the $B_{s}$ and
$D_{s2}^{*}(2573)$  mesons can be written
in terms of the quark fields as
\begin{eqnarray}\label{pseudscalarcurrent}
 J^{B_{s}}=\bar{s}(x)\gamma_5b(x),
\end{eqnarray}
and
\begin{eqnarray}\label{tensorcurrent}
J_{\alpha\beta}^{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}(y)=\frac{i}{2}\left[\bar s(y)
\gamma_{\alpha} \olra{\cal D}_{\beta}(y) c(y)+\bar s(y)
\gamma_{\beta} \olra{\cal D}_{\alpha}(y) c(y)\right].
\end{eqnarray}
Here $ \olra{\cal D}_{\beta}(y)$ is the covariant derivative
that acts on the left and right, simultaneously.
It is given as
\begin{eqnarray}\label{derivative}
\olra{\cal D}_{\beta}(y)=\frac{1}{2}\left[\ora{\cal D}_{\beta}(y)-
\ola{\cal D}_{\beta}(y)\right],
\end{eqnarray}
with
\begin{eqnarray}\label{derivative2}
\overrightarrow{{\cal
D}}_{\beta}(y)=\overrightarrow{\partial}_{\beta}(y)-i
\frac{g}{2}\lambda^aA^a_\beta(y),\nonumber\\
\overleftarrow{{\cal
D}}_{\beta}(y)=\overleftarrow{\partial}_{\beta}(y)+
i\frac{g}{2}\lambda^aA^a_\beta(y),
\end{eqnarray}
where  $\lambda^a$ and $A^a_\beta(x)$ denote the Gell-Mann matrices and
the external  gluon fields, respectively.

According to the method used, in order to find the QCD sum rules for transition form
factors, we shall calculate the aforesaid correlation function, once in terms of hadronic parameters and the second in terms of QCD parameters making use of operator product expansion (OPE).
By equating these two representations to each other through a dispersion relation, we obtain the sum rules for form factors.  To
stamp down the contributions of the higher states and continuum,
a double Borel transformation with respect to the $p^{2}$ and
$p^{\prime^{2}}$ is performed on both sides of the sum rules obtained and the quark-hadron duality assumption is used.

\subsection{The hadronic representation}

In order to calculate the hadronic side of the correlator in Eq.(\ref{correl.func.101}),
 we insert two complete sets of the initial $B_{s}$ and the final $D_{s2}^{*}(2573)$ states
 with the same quantum numbers as the interpolating currents into the correlator. After performing
 four-integrals over $x$ and $y$, we obtain

\begin{eqnarray}\label{phen1}
\Pi _{\mu\alpha\beta}^{had}&=&\frac{{\langle}0\mid  J
_{\alpha\beta}^{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}\mid
D_{s2}^{*}(2573)(p',\epsilon)\rangle{\langle}D_{s2}^{*}(2573)(p',\epsilon)\mid
J _{\mu}^{tr}(0) \mid B_{s}(p)\rangle \langle B_{s}(p)\mid
J_{B_{s}}^{\dag}\mid
 0\rangle}{(p^2-m_{B_{s}}^2)(p'^2-m_{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}^2)}
 \nonumber \\
  &+& \cdots,\nonumber\\
\end{eqnarray}
 where $\cdots$ represents  contributions of  the higher states and continuum, and
 $\epsilon$ is the polarization tensor of the $D_{s2}^{*}(2573)$ tensor meson. We can parameterize the matrix
elements appearing in the above equation in terms of decay
constants, masses and form factors as

\begin{eqnarray}\label{lep}
{\langle}0\mid  J_{\alpha\beta}^{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}\mid
D_{s2}^{*}(2573)(p',\epsilon)\rangle&=&m_{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}^3
f_{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}\epsilon_{\alpha\beta},\nonumber \\
\langle B_{s}(p)\mid
J_{B_{s}}^{\dag}\mid
 0\rangle&=&-i\frac{f_{B_{s}} m_{B_{s}}^2} {m_s+m_b},
\nonumber \\
{\langle}D_{s2}^{*}(2573)(p',\epsilon)\mid J
_{\mu}^{tr}(0) \mid B_{s}(p)\rangle&=&h(q^2)\varepsilon_{\mu\nu\alpha\beta}\epsilon^{*^{\nu\lambda}}P^{\lambda}
P_{\alpha}q^{\beta}-iK(q^2)\epsilon^{*_{\mu\nu}}P^{\nu}\nonumber \\
&-&i\epsilon^{*_{\alpha\beta}}P^{\alpha}P^{\beta}\left[P_{\mu}b_{+}(q^2)+q_{\mu}b_{-}(q^2)
\right],
\end{eqnarray}
where $q=p-p'$, $P=p+p'$; and $h(q^2)$, $K(q^2)$, $b_{+}(q^2)$ and $b_{-}(q^2)$ are transition form factors.
 Now, we  combine Eqs. (\ref{phen1})
and  (\ref{lep}) and performing summation over the  polarization
tensors via
\begin{eqnarray}\label{polarizationt1}
\epsilon_{\alpha\beta}\epsilon_{\nu\theta}^*=\frac{1}{2}T_{\alpha\nu}T_{\beta\theta}+
\frac{1}{2}T_{\alpha\theta}T_{\beta\nu}
-\frac{1}{3}T_{\alpha\beta}T_{\nu\theta},
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}\label{polarizationt2}
T_{\alpha\nu}=-g_{\alpha\nu}+\frac{p'_\alpha
p'_\nu}{m_{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}^2}.
\end{eqnarray}
This procedure brings us to the final representation of the hadronic side, viz.
\begin{eqnarray}\label{phen2}
\Pi _{\mu\alpha\beta}^{had}&=&\frac{f_{D_{s2}^{*}}f_{B_{s}}
m_{D_{s2}^{*}} m_{B_{s}}^2}
{8(m_b+m_s)(p^2-m^2_{B_{s}})(p'^2-m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2)}
\Bigg\{\frac{2}{3}\Big[-\Delta K(q^2)+\Delta'b_{-}(q^2)
\Big]q_{\mu}g_{\beta\alpha}\nonumber \\
 &+&\frac{2}{3}\Big[(\Delta-4m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2) K(q^2)+\Delta'b_{+}(q^2)
\Big]P_{\mu}g_{\beta\alpha}+i(\Delta-4m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2)
h(q^2)\varepsilon_{\lambda\nu\beta\mu}P_{\lambda}P_{\alpha}q_{\nu}
\nonumber \\
&+&\Delta K(q^2)q_{\alpha}g_{\beta\mu}+ \mbox{other
structures}\Bigg\}+...,
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}\label{phen2}
\Delta &=&m_{B_{s}}^2+3m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2-q^2,
\end{eqnarray}
and
\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta'&=&m_{B_{s}}^4-2m_{B_{s}}^2(m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2+q^2)+(m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2-q^2)^2.
\end{eqnarray}

\subsection{The OPE representation}

The OPE  side of the correlation function is calculated in deep Euclidean region. For this aim, we insert the explicit forms of the interpolating currents into
  the correlation function in Eq. (\ref{correl.func.101}). After performing contractions via the Wick's theorem, we obtain the following result in terms of the heavy and light quarks propagators:
\begin{eqnarray}\label{correl.func.2}
\Pi^{OPE} _{\mu\alpha\beta}&=&\frac{-i^3}{2}\int d^{4}x\int
d^{4}ye^{-ip\cdot x}e^{ip'\cdot y}
\nonumber \\

The heavy and light quarks propagators appearing in above equation and up to terms taken into account in the calculations are given by
\begin{eqnarray}\label{heavypropagator}
S_{Q}^{i\ell}(x)&=&\frac{i}{(2\pi)^4}\int d^4k e^{-ik \cdot x}
\left\{ \frac{\delta_{i\ell}}{\!\not\!{k}-m_Q}
-\frac{g_sG^{\alpha\beta}_{i\ell}}{4}\frac{\sigma_{\alpha\beta}(\!\not\!{k}+m_Q)+
(\!\not\!{k}+m_Q)\sigma_{\alpha\beta}}{(k^2-m_Q^2)^2}\right.\nonumber\\
&&\left.+\delta_{i\ell}\frac{\pi^2}{3} \langle
\frac{\alpha_sGG}{\pi}\rangle \frac{
m_Qk^2+m_Q^2\!\not\!{k}}{(k^2-m_Q^2)^4} +\cdots\right\} \, ,
\end{eqnarray}
where $Q=b$ or $c$,
and
\begin{eqnarray}\label{lightpropagator}
S_{s}^{ij}(x)&=& i\frac{\!\not\!{x}}{ 2\pi^2 x^4}\delta_{ij}
-\frac{m_s}{4\pi^2x^2}\delta_{ij}-\frac{\langle
\bar{s}s\rangle}{12}\Big(1 -i\frac{m_s}{4}
\!\not\!{x}\Big)\delta_{ij} -\frac{x^2}{192}m_0^2\langle
\bar{s}s\rangle\Big(1-i\frac{m_s}{6} \!\not\!{x}\Big)\delta_{ij}
\nonumber \\
&-&\frac{ig_s
G_{\theta\eta}^{ij}}{32\pi^2x^2}\big[\!\not\!{x}\sigma^{\theta\eta}+\sigma^{\theta\eta}\!\not\!{x}\big]
+\cdots \, .
\end{eqnarray}

To proceed, we insert the expressions of the heavy and light propagators into Eq. (\ref{correl.func.2}) and perform the  derivatives
with respect to $x$ and $y$. Then, we transform the calculations  to the momentum space
 and make the $x_{\mu}\rightarrow
i\frac{\partial}{\partial p_{\mu}}$ and
 $y_{\mu}\rightarrow -i\frac{\partial}{\partial p'_{\mu}}$ replacements. We perform the two four-integrals  coming from the heavy quark propagators with the help of
 two Dirac delta functions appearing in the calculations. Finally, we perform the last four-integral  using the Feynman parametrization, viz.

\begin{eqnarray}\label{Int}
\int d^4t\frac{(t^2)^{\beta}}{(t^2+L)^{\alpha}}=\frac{i \pi^2
(-1)^{\beta-\alpha}\Gamma(\beta+2)\Gamma(\alpha-\beta-2)}{\Gamma(2)
\Gamma(\alpha)[-L]^{\alpha-\beta-2}}.
\end{eqnarray}
Eventually, we get the OPE side of the three-point correlation function in terms of the selected structures and the perturbative and non-perturbative parts as
\begin{eqnarray}\label{QCDside}
\Pi^{OPE}_{\mu\alpha\beta}&=&\Big(\Pi^{pert}_1(q^2)+\Pi^{non-pert}_1(q^2)\Big)q_{\alpha}g_{\beta\mu}+
\Big(\Pi^{pert}_2(q^2)+\Pi^{non-pert}_2(q^2)\Big)q_{\mu}g_{\beta\alpha}\nonumber \\
&+&
\Big(\Pi^{pert}_3(q^2)+\Pi^{non-pert}_3(q^2)\Big)P_{\mu}g_{\beta\alpha}+
\Big(\Pi^{pert}_4(q^2)+\Pi^{non-pert}_4(q^2)\Big)\varepsilon_{\lambda\nu\beta\mu}P_{\lambda}
P_{\alpha}q_{\nu}
\nonumber \\
&+&\mbox{other structures},
\end{eqnarray}
where the perturbative parts
$\Pi^{pert}_i(q^2)$  can be written in terms of the double dispersion
integrals as
\begin{eqnarray}\label{QCDside}
\Pi^{pert}_i(q^2)=\int^{}_{}ds\int^{}_{}ds'
\frac{\rho_i(s,s',q^2)}{(s-p^2)(s'-p'^2)}.
\end{eqnarray}
The $O(1)$ spectral densities $\rho_i(s,s',q^2)$ are
given by the imaginary parts of the $\Pi^{pert}_{i}(q^2)$
functions, i.e.,
$\rho_i(s,s',q^2)=\frac{1}{\pi}Im[\Pi^{pert}_{i}(q^2)]$. After lengthy calculations, the  spectral densities corresponding to the selected structures are obtained as

\caption{Perturbative ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$  diagrams contributing to the correlation function.} \label{Graphs}
\end{figure}

\begin{eqnarray}\label{rho}
\rho_1(s,s',q^2)&=&\int_{0}^{1}dx\int^{1-x}_{0} dy
\Bigg\{{-}\frac{3 (m_c(4+6y-6x)+m_s(-2+y-x)+2 m_b
(y-x))}{64\pi^2}\Bigg\}\nonumber\\&\times&\Theta[L(s,s',q^2)],
\nonumber \\
\rho_2(s,s',q^2)&=&\int_{0}^{1}dx\int^{1-x}_{0} dy
\Bigg\{\frac{3((y-x)(m_b x + m_c
(-1+2y+x))}{32\pi^2(-1+y+x)}\Bigg\}\Theta[L(s,s',q^2)],
\nonumber \\
\rho_3(s,s',q^2)&=&\int_{0}^{1}dx\int^{1-x}_{0} dy
\Bigg\{{-}\frac{3 (m_b x
(-2+3y+x)+m_c(2y^2+y(-1+x)+(-1+x)x))}{32\pi^2(-1+y+x)}\Bigg\}\nonumber\\&\times&\Theta[L(s,s',q^2)],
\nonumber \\
\rho_4(s,s',q^2)&=&0,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Theta[...]$ is the unit-step function and
\begin{eqnarray}\label{L}
L(s,s',q^2)=-m_c^2y-s'y(x+y-1)-x\Big(m_b^2-q^2y+s(x+y-1)\Big).
\end{eqnarray}

We also take into account the perturbative ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$  corrections contributing to the correlation function. These corrections for massless quarks
   are  calculated using the standard Cutkosky rules in \cite{Braguta}  for calculation of pion form factor with both
the pseudoscalar and axial currents. These corrections are also calculated in  the case of  transition between  two infinitely heavy quarks with the spectator quark being massless in \cite{colangelobey} using the
 universal Isgur-Wise function. We calculate the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$  corrections  keeping also the spectator strange quark mass in the calculations.
 For this aim we consider the diagrams presented in figure 1. As an example
we present the amplitude of diagram $(a)$ in figure 1 which is obtained as
\begin{eqnarray}\label{rhoalfs}
\Pi_{\alpha_{s_{(a)}}}&=&-16\pi\alpha_s\int\frac{d^4k}{(2\pi)^4}\int\frac{d^4k^{\prime}}{(2\pi)^4}
\nonumber \\
&\times&\frac{Tr\Big[\Gamma_{\alpha\beta}(\!\not\!{p^{\prime}}+\!\not\!{k}+m_c)\gamma_{\mu}(1-\gamma_5)
(\!\not\!{p}+\!\not\!{k}+m_b)\gamma_5(\!\not\!{k}+m_s)\gamma^{\eta}(\!\not\!{k}-\!\not\!{k^{\prime}}+m_s)
\gamma^{\eta}(\!\not\!{k}+m_s)\Big]}{[(p^{\prime^2}+k)^2-m_c^2][(p+k)^2-m_b^2]
[(k-k^{\prime})^2-m_s^2](k^2-m_s^2)^2k^{\prime^2}},
\nonumber \\
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}\label{vertex}
\Gamma_{\alpha\beta}=\gamma_{\alpha}\left(2k_{\beta}+p^{\prime}_{\beta}\right)
+\gamma_{\beta}\left(2k_{\alpha}+p^{\prime}_{\alpha}\right)-\frac{2}{3}\left(g_{\alpha\beta}
-\frac{p^{\prime}_{\alpha}p^{\prime}_{\beta}}{p^{\prime^2}}\right)(2 \!\not\!{k}+\!\not\!{p'}).
\end{eqnarray}
After calculation of the four-integrals appearing in the
amplitudes of all diagrams shown in figure 1 and taking the
imaginary parts of the obtained results we select the
above-mentioned structures to find the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$
spectral densities $\rho_{\alpha_{s_i}}(s,s',q^2)$. The details of
calculations  for $\rho_{\alpha_{s_1}}(s,s',q^2)$ are given in appendix A.

The $\Pi^{non-pert}_i(q^2)$  functions are obtained up to five
dimension operators. As they have also very lengthy expressions, we do
not show their explicit form again.

Having calculated both the hadronic and OPE sides of the correlation function, we match the coefficients of the selected
structures from both sides and apply a double-Borel transformation. As a result, we get the following sum rules for the form factors:
\begin{eqnarray}\label{K}
K(q^2)&=&\frac{8(m_b+m_s)}{\Delta}\frac{1}{f_{B_s} f_{D_{s2}^{*}}

\end{eqnarray}
where $M^2$ and $M^{'2}$ are the Borel mass parameters; and  $s_0$ and $s'_0$ are continuum thresholds in the initial and final mesonic channels, respectively.

\section{Numerical results}

In this section we present our numerical results for the transition form factors derived
from QCD sum rules and search for the behavior of the these quantities in terms of $q^2$.
To obtain numerical values, we use some input parameters presented in table 1.

\caption{Input parameters used in  calculations.}
\end{table}

In our calculations, we also use the $\overline{MS}$ quark masses
$m_{c}(m_c)=(1.275\pm0.025)~GeV$, $m_{b}(m_b)=(4.18\pm0.03)~GeV$
and $m_s(\mu=2~GeV)=(95\pm5)~MeV$ \cite{olive}, and take into
account the energy-scale dependence of the $\overline{MS}$ masses
from the renormalization group equation to bring the masses to the same scale (see also \cite{Wang}),

\begin{eqnarray}\label{MassEqn}
m_b(\mu)&=&m_b(m_b)\left[\frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{\alpha_s(m_b)}\right]^{\frac{12}{23}},
\nonumber \\
m_c(\mu)&=&m_c(m_c)\left[\frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{\alpha_s(m_c)}\right]^{\frac{12}{25}},
\nonumber \\
m_s(\mu)&=&m_s(2~GeV)\left[\frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{\alpha_s(2~GeV)}\right]^{\frac{4}{9}},
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
 \alpha_s(\mu)&=&\frac{1}{b_0~t}\left[1-\frac{b_1}{b_0^2~t}\log[t]+\frac{b_1^2
\left(\log^2[t]-\log[t]-1\right)+b_0~b_2}{b_0^4~t^2}\right],
\end{eqnarray}
with
\begin{eqnarray}
\nonumber \\
b_2&=&\frac{1}{128~\pi^3}\left[2857-\frac{5033}{9}n_f+\frac{325}{27}n_f^2\right],
\nonumber \\
b_1&=&\frac{1}{24\pi^2}\left(153-19n_f\right),
\nonumber \\
b_0&=&\frac{1}{12\pi}\left(33-2n_f\right),
\nonumber \\
t&=&\log\left[\frac{\mu^2}{\Lambda^2}\right].
\end{eqnarray}
The parameter $\Lambda$  takes the values   $\Lambda=213~MeV$, $296~MeV$ and $339~MeV$ for the flavors
$n_f=5$, $4$ and $3$, respectively \cite{olive,Wang}.  We take
$n_f=4$ in the present study. In \cite{Wang}  the authors take  $\mu=1~GeV$ for the  charmed and $\mu=3~GeV$ for the bottom tensor mesons.
As we have the bottom and charmed mesons
respectively  in the initial and final states
in the transition under consideration, we take   the interval   $\mu=(2-4)~GeV$ for this parameter and discuss the rate of changes in the form factors and other observables when going from
 $\mu=2~GeV$ to $\mu=3~GeV$ and those from $\mu=3~GeV$ to  $\mu=4~GeV$.

To proceed further, we shall find  working regions of the  four
auxiliary parameters, namely the Borel mass parameters $M^2$ and
$M'^2$ and continuum thresholds $s_0$ and $s'_0$, such that the
transition form factors weakly depend on these parameters in those
regions. The continuum thresholds $s_0$ and $s'_0$ are the energy
squares which characterize the beginning of the continuum and
depend on the energy of the first excited states in the initial
and final channels, respectively.  Our numerical calculations
 point out the following regions for the continuum thresholds $s_0$ and $s'_0$:
 $29~GeV^2\leq s_0\leq35~GeV^2$ and $7~GeV^2\leq s'_0\leq11~GeV^2$.

The working regions for the Borel mass parameters are calculated demanding that both the higher
states and continuum are sufficiently suppressed and the contributions of the operators with
higher dimensions are small. As a result, we
find the working regions $10~GeV^2\leq M^2\leq 20GeV^2$ and $5GeV^2\leq M'^2\leq 10 GeV^2$ for Borel mass parameters.
To see  whether  the contributions related to the mesons of interest in the initial and  final states have been extracted by considering the above regions for the auxiliary parameters, we  calculate
the values of functions
$-d/d(1/M^2) \ln [\Pi^{OPE}(s_0,s'_0,M^2,M^{'2},q^2)]$ and $-d/d(1/M^{'2}) \ln[ \Pi^{OPE}(s_0,s'_0,M^2,M^{'2},q^2)]$ in the Borel scheme. Taking into account all the input parameters we find the
values $29.44~GeV^2\sim m_{B_s}^2$ and $5.58~GeV^2\sim m_{D_{s2}^{*}(2573)}^2$
for these functions, respectively, showing that  the contributions of the related mesons in the initial and  final states have been roughly extracted.
We show, as an example,  the dependence of    the form factor $K(q^2)$ at $q^2=1$
 on the Borel mass parameters $M^2$ and $M^{\prime^2}$ in figure 2. With a quick look at this figure, we see that not only this form factor depicts weak dependence on the
Borel parameters on their working regions, but the perturbative contribution constitutes the main part of the total value.

\end{figure}

At this stage, we would like to find the behaviors of the
considered form factors in terms of $q^2$ using the  working
regions for the continuum thresholds and Borel mass parameters.
Our calculations depict that the form factors are truncated at
$q^2\simeq7~GeV^2$. To extend the results to the whole physical
region, we have to find a fit function such that
 it coincide with the QCD sum rules results at $q^2=(0-7)~GeV^2$ region.
Here, we should also stress that at the time-like momentum transfers   the spectral representations mainly develop  anomalous contributions, i.e.,
the double spectral densities receive contributions beyond those due to Landau-type singularities and deviate from
the corresponding Feynman amplitudes. This problem is discussed in details   in \cite{ball}. Although these contributions do not affect the values of the form factors at $q^2=0$ and
turn  out to be small at higher values of $q^2$ by the above-mentioned ranges of the auxiliary parameters in the decay channel under consideration, we take also into account these small contributions
in our numerical calculations.
We find that  the form factors are well fitted to the following
function (see figure 3)\cite{Melikhov}:
\begin{eqnarray}\label{fitfunc}
f(q^2)=\frac{f_0}{\Big(1-\frac{q^2}{m_{B_s}^2}\Big)\Big[1-\sigma_1\Big(\frac{q^2}{m_{B_s}^2}\Big)
+\sigma_2\Big(\frac{q^2}{m_{B_s}^2}\Big)^2\Big]},
\end{eqnarray}
where the values of the parameters $f_0$, $\sigma_1$ and
$\sigma_2$, as an example  at $\mu=2~GeV$, are presented in table 2. The quoted errors in the
results are due to the errors in determinations of the working
regions of the continuum thresholds, Borel mass parameters as well
as uncertainties coming from other input
 parameters. Our numerical analysis show that setting $\mu$ from $2~GeV$ to $3~GeV$ increases the values of the form factors roughly with amount of 35\% at a fixed value of $q^2$. This rate of increase in the values of
the form factors are roughly  25\% when going from $\mu=3~GeV$ to $\mu=4~GeV$. These rates of changes reveal that the form factors depend on the scale parameter $\mu$, considerably.

In this part we would like to discuss the constraints that the HQET limit provides  on the form factors under discussion as the considered decay channel is based on the   heavy-to-heavy $b\to c$ transition at quark
level. Taking into account all the definitions and the values of the related parameters discussed in \cite{aka} (and references therein) for a similar channel, namely  $B_s\rightarrow D_{sJ}(2460)l \nu$,
we find that the HQET limit affects the
form factors $h(0)$ and  $K(0)$ more than the form factors $b_+(0)$ and $b_-(0)$ such that the values of the  form factors  $h(0)$ and  $K(0)$ decrease by 35\% and 42\%, respectively.
In contrast, the form factors $b_+(0)$ and $b_-(0)$  increase by 16\% and 5\%, respectively.

Having found the fit function of the  form factors in terms of $q^2$
at full physical region, now we  calculate the decay width of the
process under consideration. The differential decay width for
$B_{s} \rightarrow D_{s2}^{*}(2573)\ell\bar{\nu }_{\ell}$  transition is
obtained as  (see also \cite{numres})
\begin{eqnarray}\label{decaywidth}
\frac{d\Gamma}{dq^2}&=&\frac{\lambda(m_{B_{s}}^2,m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2,q^2)}{4m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2}
\Big(\frac{q^2-m_{\ell}^2}{q^2}\Big)^2\frac{\sqrt{\lambda(m_{B_{s}}^2,m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2,q^2)}G_F^2
V_{cb}^2}{384m_{B_{s}}^3\pi^3}\Bigg\{\frac{1}{2q^2}\Bigg[3m_{\ell}^2\lambda(m_{B_{s}}^2,m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2,q^2)

&+&(m_{\ell}^2+2q^2)\Big|\frac{1}{2m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}\Big[(m_{B_{s}}^2-m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2-q^2)
(m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}})V_1(q^2)
-\frac{\lambda(m_{B_{s}}^2,m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2,q^2)}{m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}V_2(q^2)\Big]\Big|^2\Bigg]
\nonumber \\
&+&\frac{2}{3}(m_{\ell}^2+2q^2)\lambda(m_{B_{s}}^2,m_{D_{s2}^*}^2,q^2)\Bigg[\Big|
\frac{A(q^2)}{m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}-\frac{(m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}})V_1(q^2)}{\sqrt{\lambda(m_{B_{s}}^2,m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2,q^2)}}
\Big|^2
\nonumber \\
&+&\Big|
\frac{A(q^2)}{m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}+\frac{(m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}})V_1(q^2)}{\sqrt{\lambda(m_{B_{s}}^2,m_{D_{s2}^{*}}^2,q^2)}}
\Big|^2\Bigg]\Bigg\},
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}\label{decaywidth1}
A(q^2)&=&-(m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}})h(q^2),
\nonumber \\
V_1(q^2)&=&-\frac{K(q^2)}{m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}}},
\nonumber \\
V_2(q^2)&=&(m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}})b_{+}(q^2),
\nonumber \\
V_0(q^2)&=&\frac{m_{B_{s}}-m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}{2m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}V_1(q^2)-\frac{m_{B_{s}}+m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}{2m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}V_2(q^2)
-\frac{q^2}{2m_{D_{s2}^{*}}}b_{-}(q^2), \nonumber\\
\lambda(a,b,c)&=&a^2+b^2+c^2-2ab-2ac-2bc.

Performing the integral over $q^2$ in the above equation at whole physical region, finally,  we obtain the values of the total decay widths and branching ratios for all lepton channels as
 presented in tables 3, 4 and 5 for $\mu=2~GeV$, $\mu=3~GeV$ and $\mu=4~GeV$, respectively.
From these tables we see that when setting $\mu$ from $2~GeV$ to $3~GeV$, the decay rate and branching ratio increase by roughly 82\%, but when going from $\mu=3~GeV$ to $\mu=4~GeV$ the rate of increase
in these quantities is roughly 40\% for all lepton channels. From these changes,  we conclude that the results  of these quantities also depend considerably on the scale parameter $\mu$.
The orders of branching fractions show that the semileptonic $ B_{s} \rightarrow D_{s2}^{*}(2573)\ell\overline{\nu }_{\ell}$ is accessible,  experimentally at all lepton channels
in near future.

In summary,  taking into account the perturbative ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$  corrections we have calculated the transition form factors governing the semileptonic $ B_{s} \rightarrow
D_{s2}^{*}(2573)\ell\bar{\nu }_{\ell}$ transition at all lepton channels using an appreciate three-point correlation function. The fit functions of the form factors have  been used to estimate the corresponding
decay widths and branching ratios. The orders of branching ratios indicate that such channels contribute to the total width of the $B_s$ meson, considerably. We hope that it will
 be possible to study these channels at LHCb
in near future. Comparison of the future data with the theoretical results can help us in understanding the internal structure and nature of the
$D_{s2}^{*}(2573)$ charmed-strange tensor meson.

Rookieball will introduce participants to a pitched ball and uses a pitching machine to throw the ball to the batter. The pitching machine is set at 40 mph in this division.
There are three outs per side per inning with a regulation game consisting of six innings. There are a maximum number of runs per inning in effect and the entire team is in the batting rotation. Fielding skills are emphasized at this level. Girls may also play Rookieball, but some choose to switch to Girls Fastpitch (Softball) division which begins at this age.


Transactional documents – from invoices to purchase orders to packing slips -- are a necessary part of doing business for any company. They often have to be kept and referenced for years after their origination dates to aid in customer inquiries or comply with Federal regulations. Trying to accomplish this with paper documents induces many headaches, including time-intensive, manual processes for sorting and filing, the cost of maintaining physical storage space, and ease and speed of access.
A digital archiving system provides a compelling way to protect and extend the value of these documents. Transform® Content Center stores a duplicate of the document in PDF format. This exact copy is automatically indexed and filed by the system and is available for instant search and retrieval either through the user's network or via a convenient Web browser.
Bottomline also offers a SharePoint-based solution, Transform Filer that offers easy-to-use indexing, search and retrieval directly into SharePoint with one-click.
By replacing boxes and file cabinets with a server, Transform Content Center or SharePoint-based Transform Filer dramatically reduces the costs associated with managing, maintaining and disposing of business critical documents and offers the opportunity for a strong return-on-investment (ROI). An electronic archive allows customer service or accounting personnel to more quickly find and send pertinent documents to customers reducing the time spent on a typical client inquiry from hours to minutes. The ability to quickly retrieve documents not only leads to improved customer service, but provides substantial cost savings.
Bottomline's electronic document archive capabilities fuel accessibility and visibility.

This summary covers lending from a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to a Nigerian financial institution. MIGA is proposing to provide coverage for a share of IFC financing guaranteed by an international commercial financial institution, $325 million principal and $25 million past due coupon payment, against the risks of expropriation of collateral rights and transfer restriction. Funding would be channeled to the Nigerian financial institution by IFC through the SPV to be specifically established for this transaction in a permissible jurisdiction for the World Bank, in order to accommodate the project's secured funding nature.
The project involves expansion of operations of the financial institution in Nigeria by enabling up to $375 million of borrowing. Loan proceeds will be used by the financial institution for its general capital expansion, including to provide medium and long-term financing to Nigerian enterprises. The project also aims to provide hard currency liquidity to Nigeria at a time when the country's issuers faces somewhat challenging international funding conditions, due to declining oil revenues.
The project is a category FI-1 under MIGA's Policy on Environmental and Social Sustainability. The project is a secured financing to support the financial institution's long-tenor lending for general corporate purposes with the aim of further diversifying its balance sheet loan exposures, including for projects that are typically high risk with the potential for significant adverse environmental and social risks and impacts that need to be adequately managed. Therefore, the overall portfolio risk for this project is considered high. The identified applicable requirements are MIGA's Exclusion List, the applicable national social and environmental laws in Nigeria, and MIGA's Performance Standards.
MIGA's proposed guarantee will enable the international commercial financial institution to provide a larger amount of financing (in a form of guarantee to IFC) than it would have done on uncovered basis, which will benefit the Nigerian financial institution. The transaction will enable the bank to further diversify its balance sheet exposures and improve the asset-liability management profile of its balance sheet by making available longer tenor funding than is currently available to Nigerian financial institutions.
MIGA's proposed support for this transaction is aligned with the agency's strategic priority of supporting investments into countries eligible for concessional financing from the International Development Association.
