University of Glamorgan to study deadly AET cyberattacks
Using Stonesoft tool
By John E Dunn
The University of Glamorgan is to study cyberattacks based on Advanced Evasion Techniques (AETs) as part of a new partnership with Finnish security company Stonesoft.
The research will see the Welsh university's Faculty of Advanced Technology use Stonesoft's anti-evasion testing tool to conduct "field research" on different AETs in a lab environment.
Exactly what sometimes obscure AETs are capable of is open to some conjecture. Stonesoft has claimed since it first started promoting the issue a year ago that AETs are regularly being used to attack servers in ways that firewalls and intrusion detection systems usually can't detect let alone stop.
Since then, the AET hypothesis has gained some credibility among security experts more generally with the University of Glamorgan partnership being the latest example of that.
"We believe AETs pose a serious threat to network security and have already seen evidence of hackers using them in the wild," said the University of Glamorgan's Advanced Technology department head, Professor Andrew Blyth. "It is also very promising to see that Stonesoft is taking the threat posed by evasions seriously as they have been overlooked by many in the past."
The university's Information Security Group had carried out testing and forensics for government, financial services and pharmaceutical and understanding Stonesoft's AET attacks would help inform this expertise, he said.
Stonesoft also recently highlighted the possibility that AETs might also be hidden inside port 80 http traffic, a serious development if true. Firewalls pass this traffic because not to do so would cause bottlenecks.
"It is important to note when AETs are delivered via http they are able to bypass Firewalls and IPS devices, this is clear evidence that they can originate and be deployed from outside the corporate network," said Professor Blyth.

Home Foreign News Damien Comolli believes Liverpool will hold on to Philippe Coutinho
Damien Comolli believes Liverpool will hold on to Philippe Coutinho
Former Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli believes the club can hold on to Philippe Coutinho this summer – even if the Brazilian wants to leave Anfield for Barcelona.
The Catalans recently launched a £72m bid for Coutinho in an attempt to prise the talented midfielder away from the Merseyside club.
Liverpool turned down the offer, with Jurgen Klopp insisting that Coutinho remains happy at Anfield, but Barcelona continue to be linked to the 25-year-old and reports have suggested that the side are poised to return with an improved offer.
Nonetheless, Comolli remains hopeful that the club can feasibly reject any future offers made by Ernesto Valverde's side on account of their "financial" strength.
"It would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, to replace Coutinho with a like-for-like player in terms of skills and knowledge of the Premier League," Comolli told talkSPORT.
"I don't think Liverpool can afford to sell him…but if they actually want to keep the player, I think they can say 'no'.
"The [financial] landscape has changed massively over the last 12 or 24 months in world football.
"In the deal we had with Suarez, he told me one thing: 'If Real Madrid or Barcelona come for me, would you let me go?'
"However, because the Premier League has so much financial ability to resist any bid, I think if Liverpool want to say no, they say no.
"That's exactly what PSG did with Barcelona and [Marco] Verratti. Barcelona had agreed a deal with Verratti, but they came to PSG and they said, 'absolutely no chance, the player is staying'.
"Liverpool don't need the money – no club in the Premier league needs the money because they're so much coming in from the TV rights."
Barcelona are expected to up their efforts to land Countinho should they lose Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain, but Comolli has insisted that Liverpool are the "biggest hurdle" to any future deal taking place.
"If the player wants to go to Barcelona and they feel they have agreed a deal, it doesn't mean much. The biggest hurdle is to agree a deal with Liverpool.
"It's still very much in Liverpool's hands.
"Honestly, even if the player wants to go, I think it's very, very possible for the club to keep him."

Filmmaker Omung Kumar works for a noble initiative!
Mumbai, July 20 -- Besides film-making and art direction, Omung Kumar dedicates his time to social work as well. He is an ardent lover of strays and abandoned pets.
So now, he has decided to design the 2019 AMTM (Animal Matters To Me) fundraising calendar. AMTM is an NGO in Mumbai committed to the welfare of stray dogs, cats, birds and all kinds of species with the goal of bringing all the animals together, especially the ones who are in a bad shape, old, sick, blind or handicapped.
"Omung and his wife Vanita have been constantly supporting AMTM silently for the past eight years. On being approached to design this year's calendar, Omung agreed as he believes that with this association, he could express his love for dogs in the smallest way possible. Thus he has gone ahead to paint the actual rescues in the AMTM rehab facility," says a source.
Omung says, "We are designing this year's AMTM calendar. My wife Vanita and I, are attached to AMTM for the past eight years. Vanita is quite attached with AMTM. The work they do for our four-legged friends is commendable. So when they asked me whether I would be interested in designing this year's calendar, I readily agreed. I wanted to make it special and not just use photographs to make the calendar. And the thought of painting each and every picture in my style dawned on me, to make it more special. So I'm back to my old love which is painting. By selling these calendars, we would be helping AMTM and all the animals that are there. Post that, I would be auctioning the original paintings too."


London, UK – "Welcome A Star" is the first single from 15-year-old soprano Emmie Beckitt, in collaboration with classically trained pianist, composer and TV presenter, Rick Wakeman. Rick first met Emmie, who has been singing classical repertoire since the age of ten, at a fundraiser for Kids 'n' Cancer – and was so impressed by her crystal clear voice and effortless range that he decided her to record a song from his oratorio The New Gospels, which tells the real story of Christmas.
The result is "Welcome A Star", a beautifully melodic Christmas song, released by Hope Records via Nova Distribution, on Friday 4 December. "Welcome A Star" was recorded by Emmie with the English Chamber Choir and the Orion Orchestra, and features Rick on keyboards.
Currently studying for her Grade 8 exam in singing, Emmie Beckitt takes part in the Senior School Chamber Choir at St Augustines, Scarborough, North Yorkshire and is also a member of her school orchestra and jazz band, as she plays tenor saxophone, violin and piano. When aged only 13, she supported Katherine Jenkins in concert and a year later, appeared at Roy Wood's sell-out show at the Birmingham Symphony Hall, where she received a standing ovation. She recently sang "The Hymn", composed by Sir Tim Rice and Rick Wakeman, with an orchestra and choir, at The Sage Gateshead, as part of the Tim Rice Concert Series.
A Fellow of the Royal College of Music, Professor of the London College of Music, former YES keyboard player, Watchdog presenter and renowned Grumpy Old Man, classically trained pianist Rick Wakeman began his career as a much-sought-after session musician in the late Sixties, playing on more than 2,000 records by a wide variety of artists, including Cat Stevens, David Bowie, Marc Bolan and Black Sabbath. In the early Seventies, he found fame in his own right as a member of first Strawbs and then YES. As a solo artist and with YES, he has sold more than 50,000,000 albums. He has written a number of film scores and has become a TV regular, appearing on shows like Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Countdown and of course, Grumpy Old Men and Watchdog. He still finds time to perform numerous concerts around the world every year, ranging from his extremely popular one-man show to extravaganzas that feature symphony orchestras and choirs.
Both Emmie and Rick are patrons of the Chesterfield charity Kids'n' Cancer and a percentage of the profits from the sale of Welcome A Star will be donated to that organisation.

Corgi Hosiery
Corgi Hosiery Week
Corgi Hosiery Week - Celebrating 120 Years of Fine Sock Making
Corgi Hosiery - Premiership Socks
If one was susceptible to conspiracy theories, it's possible to believe that the cognoscenti of men's hosiery had made a determined effort to keep Corgi socks to themselves over the years. Taking in the admiring glances as they flashed an ankle, but saying nothing.
But lines of communication have opened up in the sock world in recent years, and more people are getting to hear about these Welsh wonders as quality shops around the world ship in Corgi socks.
Corgi Hosiery celebrates its 120th anniversary, erm, last month. And we're belatedly joining in the celebration at Tweed Towers with Corgi Hosiery Week. So let's put our best hand-linked sock-clad foot forward and learn a little about the company.
Corgi 1892 - History of the Royal Sock Maker
CORGI Hosiery has been manufacturing socks in Carmarthenshire, South West Wales since 1893. The company was started by the wonderfully Welsh-sounding Rhys Jones and remains a family business five generations later. As you probably guessed, the company takes its present name from the Welsh breed of dog favoured by the Queen.
The company began by making robust working socks for local colliers and a range of fine quality socks for them to wear to chapel on Sundays. The socks were made on Griswold knitting machines that are still in use.
Two generations later, with grand-daughter Enid and her husband Glyn at the helm, automatic machinery and an expanded workforce enabled the company to help out with war effort to make socks for the Allied forces in the Second World War. During this period Corgi also began to innovate with design, pushing their Griswold machines as far as they could.
That's Glyn at the top in 1963 holding some classic Argyle pattern socks.
In 1989 Corgi was awarded a Royal Warrant by his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales - a significant mark of quality from Britain's best-dressed man.
The socks are beloved in Anglo-America and Japan, as well as the UK, because this Welsh dynamo of a company has never compromised on quality or the integrity of its products, nor relinquished its provenance. Corgi will survive as long as there are many people who value such things.
Hands and Feet - Corgi and Dents Join Forces in 2008
There's a certain symmetry when a heritage company that makes socks joins forces with one that makes gloves. And that's what happened when Cogi joined Dents the Wiltshire glove maker in 2008. People who enjoy the quality of a Corgi sock on their feet will feel the same about a glove from Dents on their hand. People like you, kind reader.

'The health industry as a whole has a positive future'
In a free-wheeling conversation with Viveka Roychowdhury, Patrick Figgis, Global Health Leader, PwC and Sujay Shetty, Leader, Pharma and Life Sciences, PwC India, predict some of the changes that will unfold in the pharma sector in 2015
L-R: Patrick Figgis and Sujay Shetty
Intellectual property rights (IPR) have become a bone of contention in the pharma industry in India. The US closed its Fall 2014 Out-of-Cycle Review reminding India that the Annual Special 301 Review of 2015 will follow, thereby putting the Indian government under pressure to modify its laws. How do you see the situation evolving in 2015?
Sujay Shetty
Sujay Shetty: Compulsory licensing (CL) and patent litigation have been major irritants for the pharma industry in India and last year, the country has received 'bad press' on these issues. So this is not surprising. The global pharma industry's stance is that India currently has CL in place, and that stricter pricing law and different competitive yardsticks are being used for them. For instance, compare the reaction in India when global pharma companies take over Indian ones and when an Indian pharma company undertakes the same.
MNC pharma companies have reasonably good market access in India, compared to other geographies such as China. The Abbott-Piramal deal is indicative of the fact that global pharma companies have the competence to take over companies in India. If one concedes that India has the sovereign right to price medicines, given that the country is an out-of-pocket market, where the cost of medicines will always be an issue, then the point is to figure out the other issues bothering global pharma in India.
Pharma MNCs are divided on these issues. The common bone of contention (among pharma MNCs) seems to be certain facets of India's IP laws. For instance, incremental innovation involving section 3(d) of the patent law. Most innovation is now incremental in nature. However, India does not award patents on this type of innovation. In the earlier scenario, western companies were the only beneficiaries of IP laws but today, Indian companies are also innovating and want to benefit from these laws. In fact, some Indian companies are actually cutting down on their research activities (in the country) to actually strengthen the argument [against section 3(d)].
There seems to be a growing understanding (in the Indian government) that we need a common IP law that helps Indian companies and recognises such innovations. Also, keep in mind that the IP laws framed will impact sectors beyond pharma, for instance, India's IT sector.
At some point, maybe there will be a discussion on what comprises CL and pricing levels. If section 3(d) is not up for negotiation then what's left is maybe easier pricing environment, licensing, faster health insurance, greater access to government tenders, procurement, a softening of patent laws as well as better enforcement of laws by putting in place more patent inspectors. Enforcement of laws in the country is weak and India will have to show intent of purpose that the government respects IP laws and will therefore protect data.Again, the area of data protection is grey. MNC pharma companies feel that stricter protection of data can help.
India wants more investment but pharma companies are always going to say that more investment comes with more IP protection. It is clear that the country will have to resolve the IP issue because only then will investments come to India. For instance, R&D expenditure for global pharma companies has so far gone to China.
Pharma MNCs also want better regulations in India. Take for instance the clinical research and trials sector in the country which have also suffered because of issues related to the informed consent process, compensation guidelines, the Supreme Court restricting the number of trials per investigator or doctor, etc. The National Institute of Health, US, has said that it will not take any more data from trials based out of India.
Due to such regulations, pharma MNCs claim that they are unable to conduct more trials in India. The laws are complex and there are delays in the approval process, etc. These are the issues both sides need to discuss.
In September 2014, Gilead Sciences signed non-exclusive licensing agreements with seven Indian generic pharma manufacturers, for ledipasvir/ sofosbuvir to expand access to its chronic hepatitis C medicines in developing countries. Many are seeing this as a new trend of innovator companies working around CL by opting for voluntary licensing (VL). Going forward, do you see this trend continuing?
Shetty: I think this case is meant to do good things to the discussion around CL. The company's price for the same product in the US ($84,000 for a 12-week course) sparked outrage in the country. In India, the price is one-tenth of the US price. It is an innovative deal and dilutes the argument around CL, and shows working of the patent. This could be an extraordinary way forward but this is a public policy decision.
Do you see this deal influencing the approach of other innovator pharma companies and can they adopt this or variations of this model?
Patrick Figgis
Patrick Figgis: We are in an era where we are seeing extraordinary change in the pharma environment. We will have to evolve in order to deal with some of the healthcare challenges we are facing.
Over the next few years, we will see a continuation and even an acceleration of the transformation of the industry. The old way of doing business will no longer be satisfactory and we have seen this in the way deals have been structured in the recent past. It is not just companies merging, but asset and portfolio swaps have also taken place. We are seeing different deal options, business models and practices.
A number of pharma companies themselves have come under significant pressure from their practices on the ground, from the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the US, similar regulations in the UK and other countries, in the way their sales forces or practices have been found to be operating. Some companies in China had attracted the headlines, but they are not the only organisations, either in China or elsewhere in other geographies.
The entire industry must look at the way regulatory demands are practised by their workforce right down through the organisation. It is one of the top priorities of CEOs as well as the board members of pharma companies and they are acutely conscious of the reputation of the business.
The challenge for them often is the translation of the policies and discussions at the board level all the way down through the organisation to their workforce around the world. As business models become complicated, third parties have also become a part of the eco-system, and pharma companies have to ensure that they too follow the same processes, policies and systems as their employees.
This is a big challenge and pharma companies are doing a lot to improve practices and processes.
To be ahead in the game, and have a future-proof strategy in place, companies need to always ask, "What are we doing today, that we think is proper and normal, which in five years time, society or the regulator will say it's not?"
But even that's not enough. You can have the best policies, practices and systems but if they are not in the DNA of the individual, or not practised instinctively, they are redundant.
Hence, company managements are working on the psychology and the DNA of the organisation, defining what it stands for, its ethics as well as moral values. There will always be things that go wrong or mistakes that are made. However, CEOs want to be confident that in any part of the network, their people are doing the right thing, when nobody is looking, and that defines the culture of the orgnaisation.
Shetty: We advise pharma companies faced with these issues to learn from other industries, particularly those that are also heavily regulated. Things have gone wrong in these industries as well. For instance, the energy industry, where there have been a number of disasters, either because policies or practices fell short or due to behavioural issues. The financial services sector for instance, where many people believe that things started to go wrong because of the cultural DNA of some of the personnel in that industry.
Nothing comes close to the US FDA issues facing the pharma industry in India. Companies who have everything going for them are confronted with this issue and they ask, "What can we do about the culture? How much can you train people?"
Express Pharma completed 20 years last December. If you were to predict the changes in the next two decades, what would your predictions be?
Figgis: From a global perspective, I am an optimist about the pharma industry. I do think that there are challenges but the health industry as a whole has a positive future.
There will be significant change over the next 10 years. The companies that made up the industry 20 years ago are different from those today, thanks to many M&As. And these will no doubt differ 20 years down the line. The family tree of the pharma industry is complex: with a host of births, deaths, marriages, divorces and this complexity will continue.
There will be a new round of different deals, alliances and asset swaps. There will be many new players, some spun-off from existing companies. There will also be a significant transformation of the existing players on the pitch.
The dynamics between players will also see a change. Partnerships and conversations between the private and public sectors, companies, governments, and regulators will increase because there will be a mutuality of interests. It is not perfect now but in order to deal with many of the challenges facing the industry, we will see a more common conversation. People will be collaborating much more than they were 20 years ago.
The demand for quality and knowing that the quality standards are met will increase. This will be driven by the regulator but also by the consumer who will become an ever more active participant in the story. This consumerism and wanting to be part and parcel of the play, is true particularly for those who have grown up as 'millennials' using technology and now have some understanding, data and knowledge to become much more active participants in the health eco-system.
What are your predictions for the pharma industry in India?
Shetty: Similar to the global scenario, there will be new entrants. Twenty years from now, the size of the existing companies will change. Global companies are growing by M&As, but Indian companies are organically growing into great sizes. Six years back, there was only one-billion dollar (Indian pharma) company, whereas today there are already eight billion-dollar companies. By 2020, there will be quite easily double that number. Scale breeds more scale after a certain amount of time.
But the interesting part is that there are a lot of new entrants in India. For instance, pharma companies are innovating along with companies who are making apps, different platforms for folding proteins and bioinformatic companies. Some of them will grow to scale as they are being funded by serious private equity players. This whole eco-system will look different.
Ultimately India needs to produce novel therapeutics, in terms of biologics and new drugs. Some Indian companies such as Glenmark already are doing some serious science in this area.
Figgis: The scientific needs are shifting as the health needs of the population in the last century were different. If you were to track the health needs of the last century and compare them to those of this century, they are fundamentally different. The challenges due to obesity and diabetes that we face today are enormous ticking bombs for major territories around the world. This requires a different response from not just pharma companies but from healthcare providers as well.
There is an increasing emphasis to take greater responsibility for our own personal health and well being. It is no accident that across the world we are seeing many devices, greater emphasis on consumer goods as well as technology companies investing billions of dollars into this market. From wearable devices, to exercising in different ways to eating different foods, you have got dramatically more invigorated consumer populations that want to take more responsibility for their personal health and well being as a preventive measure rather than relying on somebody to fix them when they fall ill.
What about the role of governments 20 years down the line? In India, the government is a provider as well as a regulator. There is an argument that they should not be providers but just regulators and implementors of regulation. For instance, in India we have the Jan Aushadi stores initiative by the government which was supposed to provide affordable medicines from post offices, but this scheme has not taken off. How will the role of governments evolve?
Figgis: We are seeing a trend of similar questions being asked at a global level as well. Health ministries in many countries did and are undertaking several initiatives. They have been regulators, providers, employers, as well as insurers who are now asking,'what are the essential elements, the core ingredients that only we can do? And what are the things that somebody else can do just as well, if not better?' This can be about regulation, setting quality standards, but might not include being a vast employer of doctors and nurses providing care in hospitals.
Shetty: As far as India is concerned, (on this front), I do not see any trends that will be different 10 years down the line, but where one would hope it goes is that the government tries to get the pricing (of medicines) right. 20 years from now, we will have double the population that we have now. In fact, we might have three billion people by then, with chronic and acute diseases, plus sanitation issues. This will be in addition to rich world diseases co-existing in phenomenally large numbers. So how do you provide for this population, especially when you do not have a UK-style National Health Services system nor do we have the US-style insurance service?
I hope the government then starts thinking along the lines of UK's National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) or the US' National Institute of Health (NIH) which set how to determine value from a drug and how to price it. The price cannot be brought down to the lowest common denominator or given for free. Hence, there will be a role for the government in India in terms of pricing because at all times, market access and affordability will be key since no matter how wealthy India gets, it will still have large portions of populations under-served. It is unlikely that health insurance will grow fast enough, though it will grow to a certain extent.
Therefore, the role of the government in India as a far more effective regulator, as the body that controls prices will continue. It has got out of providing services (healthcare) because it realises that it does not have the wherewithal to fund the provision of services so it has now moved to the payer side. To continue as an effective payer, its deficits must be in order, which at the moment is rather stretched. This depends a lot on the economic growth and it's predicated on the assumption that we will grow at the rate of eight to nine per cent over the next decade.In order to make sure the government can pay, it will control the prices.
We can see the first two situations (effective payer and controlling prices) unfolding, but we do not see the last part happening, which is about regulation, because the pharma regulatory system in India is under-staffed. It tries but it is not harmonising with the US and the UK, in terms of quicker regulation of products to the market.
These three roles will continue to play an instrumental role in the industry over the next decade, but the question is how effective will they be? Can they do it more efficiently? Will they use health technology assessment tools? Will they look at epidemiological data? Will they procure more and increase the size of the market? Will they distribute them more efficiently?
In this aspect, the present government is different from the previous one because it concentrates on implementation as opposed to big bang reforms. So they can get all of these things implemented a lot more smartly.
Figgis: Another trend that will impact the pharma industry is that over the last few years, a large portion of the world's population has moved out of poverty into the middle-income group and I predict this too will increase.
And the consequence of this trend on healthcare is quite stark. The number one priority for people living in poverty is getting a job. But as income levels rise, other factors pertaining to the quality of life become more important. They demand better quality of education, housing, clean water, infrastructure and of course better healthcare.
Health has become a political issue. A number of elections are due to be held in 2015. In emerging markets, particularly, I predict that health will be much higher up the political agenda as voters go to the polls.

\section{Introduction}

The polarizations of $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ hyperons have been studied extensively in various aspects of spin effects in high energy reactions due to the self spin-analyzing parity violating decay.
In particular, $\Lambda$ polarization transferred from polarized lepton or hadron beams (usually referred to as ``spin transfer") in different reactions provides a natural connection to polarized fragmentation functions and the polarized parton densities of the nucleon.
A number of measurements have been made in polarized lepton-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS), and in polarized hadron-hadron collisions in the STAR experiment at RHIC.
As the $s(\bar{s})$ quark plays a dominant role in $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ hyperon's spin content, the measurements of spin transfer to $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ hyperon provide a natural connection to the polarized parton distribution of (anti-)strange quarks in nucleon, which are not well constrained yet in experiment.
In particular, the transverse spin transfer to $\Lambda$ ($\bar\Lambda$) in hadron-hadron collisions provides a natural connection to transversity of (anti-)strange quarks through polarized fragmentation functions\,\cite{deFlorian:1998am,Xu:2004es,Xu:2005ru}.
Similarily, the longitudinal spin transfer to $\Lambda$ ($\bar\Lambda$) hyperons in hadron-hadron collisions provides sensitivity to the helicity distribution of (anti-)strange quarks~\cite{deFlorian:1998ba,Boros:2000ya,Ma:2001na,Xu:2002hz,Xu:2005ru,Chen:2007tm}.

In this contribution, we report the first measurement of transverse spin transfer to $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ hyperons in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt s=200$\,GeV with the STAR experiment at RHIC~\cite{Adam:2018dtt}.
Then we report an improved STAR measurement of the longitudinal spin transfer $D_{LL}$ to $\Lambda$ and ${\bar \Lambda}$ hyperons in longitudinally polarized proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200\,GeV\,\cite{Adam:2018kzl}.

\section{First measurement of transverse spin transfer to $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ hyperons at RHIC}

The transverse spin transfer, $D_\mathrm{TT}$, to the $\Lambda$ in proton-proton collisions is defined as:
\begin{equation}
  \centering
  D_\mathrm{TT}
  \equiv
  \frac{d\sigma^{{(p^{\uparrow}p \rightarrow \Lambda^{\uparrow}X)}}-d\sigma^{{(p^{\uparrow}p \rightarrow \Lambda^{\downarrow}X)}}} {d\sigma^{{(p^{\uparrow}p \rightarrow \Lambda^{\uparrow}X)}}+d\sigma^{{(p^{\uparrow}p \rightarrow \Lambda^{\downarrow}X)}}}
  =
  \frac{d\delta\sigma^{\Lambda}}{d\sigma^{\Lambda}},
  \label{eq:dttDef}
\end{equation}
where $\uparrow$\,($\downarrow$) denotes the positive\,(negative) transverse polarization direction of the particles and $\delta\sigma^{\Lambda}$ is the transversely polarized cross section.
Within the factorization framework,  $\delta\sigma^{\Lambda}$ can be written as the convolution of parton transversity, polarized partonic cross section and the polarized fragmentation function\,\cite{deFlorian:1998am}.

The polarization of $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ hyperons, $P_{\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})}$, can be measured from the angular distribution of the final state particles via their weak decay channel $\Lambda\rightarrow p\pi^{-}\,(\bar{\Lambda}\rightarrow \bar{p}\pi^{+})$,
\begin{equation}
  \frac
  {dN}{\,d\cos{\theta^{*}}\,}
  \propto
  A
  \left(1+\alpha_{\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})}P_{\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})}\cos{\theta^{*}}\right),
  \label{eq:distFinalState}
\end{equation}
where $A$ is the detector acceptance varying with $\theta^{*}$ as well as other observables, $\alpha_{\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})}$ is the weak decay parameter, and $\theta^{*}$ is the angle between the $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ polarization direction and the (anti-)\,proton momentum in the $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ rest frame.
For the $D_{\mathrm{TT}}$ measurements, the transverse polarization direction of the outgoing fragmenting parton is used to obtain $\theta^{*}$.
Since there is a rotation along the normal direction of the scattering plane between the transverse polarization directions of incoming and outgoing quarks\,\cite{JetPolar:1993kq}, the momentum direction of the outgoing parton is required and the reconstructed jet axis adjacent to the $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ is used as the substitute for the direction of the outgoing fragmenting quark.
Previously, only the spin transfer along the normal direction of the $\Lambda$ production plane, $D_{\mathrm{NN}}$, was measured with fixed target proton-proton collisions by the E704 Collaboration at Fermilab\,\cite{Bravar:1997fb}.

The data for the $D_{\mathrm{TT}}$ measurement here were collected at RHIC with the STAR experiment in the year 2012 with transversely polarized proton beams, which amount to an integrated luminosity of $18\,\mathrm{pb}^{-1}$.
The average transverse polarizations for the two beams were $58\%$ and $64\%$.
The primary detector sub-system is the Time Projection Chamber (TPC)\,\cite{TPC}, which provides tracking for charged particles in the pseudo-rapidity range of {\color{blue}$\left|\eta\right|<1.3$} with full azimuthal coverage.
The Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter\,(BEMC)\,\cite{BEMC} and Endcap Electromagnetic Calorimeter\,(EEMC)\,\cite{EEMC} were used in generating the pimary jet trigger information at STAR.
The data sample for this analysis were recorded with jet-patch\,(JP) trigger conditions which required a transverse energy deposit $E_{\mathrm{T}}$ in BEMC or EEMC patches (each covering $\Delta\eta\times\Delta\phi = 1\times1$) exceeding certain thresholds.

The $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ candidates were reconstructed from their dominant weak decay channels, $\Lambda\rightarrow p\pi^{-}$ and $\bar{\Lambda}\rightarrow \bar{p}\pi^{+}$, with a branching ratio of $63.9\%$\,\cite{PDG}.
The selection procedure of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ candidates is based on the topology of the weak decay in a similar way as the previous longitudinal spin transfer measurement  in Ref.\,\cite{Abelev:2009xg}.
In addition, reconstructed jets were employed to obtain the momentum direction of the fragmenting quark and thus the transverse polarization direction of hyperons for the $D_{\mathrm{TT}}$ measurement.
Jets were reconstructed using the anti-$k_{\mathrm{T}}$ algorithm\,\cite{antiKt:2008gp} and
then the association between $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ candidates and the adjacent reconstructed jet was made by constraining the radius,
$\Delta R=\sqrt{(\Delta\eta)^{2}+(\Delta\phi)^{2}}<0.6\,$,
between the $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ momentum direction and the jet axis in $\eta-\phi$ space.
The bin counting method was used to obtain the raw yields of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ candidates.
The signal mass windows were chosen to be about $3\sigma$ of the mass width.
The residual background fractions $r$ were estimated by the side-band method and found to be $7\%\sim10\%$.
The background subtraction was done at the spin transfer level as $D_{\mathrm{TT}} =

  (\,D_{\mathrm{TT}}^{\mathrm{raw}}-rD_{\mathrm{TT}}^{\mathrm{bkg}}\,)/(1-r)$, with $D_{\mathrm{TT}}^{\mathrm{raw}}$ and $D_{\mathrm{TT}}^{\mathrm{bkg}}$ defined as the spin transfer for signal and side-band regions.

To minimize the systematics associated with acceptance and relative luminosity, $D_{\mathrm{TT}}$ for hyperon candidates has been extracted from the asymmetry in small $\cos{\theta^{*}}$ intervals using\cite{Adam:2018dtt}
\begin{equation}
  D_{\mathrm{TT}} =
  \frac{1}{\,\alpha P_{\mathrm{beam}} \left<\cos{\theta^{*}}\right>\,}
  \frac
    {\,\sqrt{N^{\uparrow}(\cos{\theta^{*}})N^{\downarrow}(-\cos{\theta^{*}})\,}
  -\sqrt{N^{\downarrow}(\cos{\theta^{*}})N^{\uparrow}(-\cos{\theta^{*}})\,}\, }
  {\,\sqrt{N^{\uparrow}(\cos{\theta^{*}})N^{\downarrow}(-\cos{\theta^{*}})\,}
  +\sqrt{N^{\downarrow}(\cos{\theta^{*}})N^{\uparrow}(-\cos{\theta^{*}})\,}\, },
  \label{eq:dttAsy}
\end{equation}
where $\alpha_{\Lambda}=0.642\pm0.013$~\cite{PDG}, $\alpha_{\bar{\Lambda}} = -\alpha_{\Lambda}$, $P_\mathrm{beam}$ is the beam polarization and $\left\langle\cos{\theta^{*}}\right\rangle$ denotes the average value in the $\cos{\theta^{*}}$ interval.
$N^{\uparrow(\downarrow)}$ is the $\Lambda$ yield in the corresponding $\cos\theta^*$ bin when the proton beam is upward (downward) polarized.
The relative luminosity between $N^{\uparrow}$ and $N^{\downarrow}$ is cancelled in this cross-ratio asymmetry.
The acceptance is also cancelled as the acceptance in a small $\cos\theta^*$ interval is expected to remain the same when flipping the beam polarization\,\cite{Abelev:2009xg}.

\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.49\textwidth]{fig4_Dtt.eps}
  \caption{
  The spin transfer $D_\mathrm{TT}$ for $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ versus $p_\mathrm{T}$ in polarized proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200\,\mathrm{GeV}$ at STAR \cite{Adam:2018dtt}, in comparison with model predictions\,\cite{Xu:2004es,Xu:2005ru} for (a) positive $\eta$ and (b) negative $\eta$.
  The vertical bars and hollow rectangles indicate the sizes of the statistical and systematic uncertainties, respectively. The $\bar{\Lambda}$ results have been offset to slightly larger $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ values for clarity.
  }
  \label{fig:dttPt}
\end{figure}

The STAR results for $D_\mathrm{TT}$ versus hyperon $p_\mathrm{T}$ are shown in Fig.\,\ref{fig:dttPt} for $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ at both positive and negative $\eta$ regions relative to the polarized beam in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200\,\mathrm{GeV}$.
These results provide the first measurements on transverse spin transfer of hyperons in proton-proton collisions at a high energy of $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV.
The $D_{\mathrm{TT}}$ results for $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ are consistent with zero within uncertainties.
The data cover $p_\mathrm{T}$ up to $7\,\mathrm{GeV}/c$, where $D_{\mathrm{TT}} = 0.031 \pm 0.033(\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.008(\mathrm{sys.})$ for $\Lambda$ and $D_{\mathrm{TT}} = -0.034 \pm 0.040(\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.009(\mathrm{sys.})$ for $\bar{\Lambda}$ at $\left<\eta\right> = 0.5$ and $\left<p_{\mathrm{T}}\right> = 6.7\,\mathrm{GeV}/c$.
The data are comparable to a model estimation calculated at $\left<\eta\right>=\pm 0.5$, which is available for RHIC energy, with simple assumptions of the transversity (using the DSSV helicity distribution as input) and the SU6 picture of fragmentation functions\,\cite{Xu:2004es,Xu:2005ru}.
Since strange and anti-strange quarks are expected to carry a significant part of the spins of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$, the measurements of transverse spin transfer to them can provide sensitivity to the transversity distribution of strange quarks.
Knowledge on transversity of valence quarks has been learned mostly from DIS experiments,
but the transversity distribution of (anti-)strange quarks is still poorly known in experiment\,\cite{Anselmino:2013vqa,Kang:2015msa,Radici:2018iag}.

\section{Improved measurement of longitudinal spin transfer to $\Lambda$ ($\bar{\Lambda}$) hyperons at STAR}

The longitudinal spin transfer, $D_{LL}$, to $\Lambda$  hyperon in polarized proton-proton collisions is defined as:
\begin{equation}
D_{LL}\equiv \frac
{d\sigma_{p^+p \to  \Lambda ^+ X}-d\sigma_{p^+p \to  \Lambda ^-X}}
{d\sigma_{p^+p \to  \Lambda ^+ X}+d\sigma_{p^+p \to  \Lambda ^-X}},
\label{gener1}
\end{equation}
where the superscripts $+$ or $-$ denote the helicity of the beam proton or the $\Lambda$ hyperon.

The data sample for this analysis was recorded with the STAR experiment in 2009 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of about 19\,pb$^{-1}$ with an average longitudinal beam polarization, $P_\mathrm{beam}$, of 57\%$\pm$ 4.7\%.
The figure-of-merit of this data sample, $P_\mathrm{beam}^2\mathcal{L}$, is about twelve times higher than that of the previous STAR measurement of $D_{LL}$~\cite{Abelev:2009xg}.
Similar to the 2012 data sample, the events here were recorded also with a jet-patch trigger condition in the BEMC or EEMC.

The reconstruction of $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ is similar to that done for the $D_{TT}$ analysis.
The detailed selection cuts were tuned in $p_T$ intervals so as to keep as much signal as possible, while keeping the residual background at an acceptable level of about 10\%.
In addition, the $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ baryons were required to be associated with a reconstructed jet that satisfied the trigger conditions.
Here, the jet sample was reconstructed using the mid-point cone algorithm, as in several previous STAR jet analyses~\cite{Abelev:2007vt,Adamczyk:2012qj}.
For this association, no significant difference is expected either for anti-kt or mid-point cone jet algorithm.
The association required that the reconstructed $\Lambda$ or $\bar{\Lambda}$ candidate was within the jet cone of radius $\Delta {R} =\sqrt{(\Delta\eta)^2+(\Delta \phi)^2} <0.7$.

Following our previous $D_{LL}$ measurement~\cite{Abelev:2009xg}, the longitudinal spin transfer $D_{LL}$ was extracted from the asymmetry:
\begin{equation}
D_{LL}=\frac{1}{\alpha_{\Lambda(\bar{\Lambda})} P_\mathrm{beam} \left<\cos \theta^*\right>} \frac{N^+ -R N^-} {N^+ + R N^-},
\label{eq_dll}
\end{equation}
where $N^+$ $(N^-)$ is the number of $\Lambda$ or $\bar{\Lambda}$ candidates in the $\cos\theta^*$ interval when the beam is positively (negatively) polarized.
$\left<\cos\theta^*\right>$ is the average value of $\cos\theta^*$ in this interval, but different from the case for $D_{TT}$, here $\theta^*$ is defined as the angle between $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ momentum direction and the (anti-)\,proton momentum in the $\Lambda\,(\bar{\Lambda})$ rest frame.
$R$ denotes the relative luminosity ratio for these two beam polarization states and has been measured with Beam-Beam Counters~\cite{Abelev:2009xg}.

Figure~\ref{DLL_09etap} shows our new STAR results on the spin transfer $D_{LL}$ to the $\Lambda$ and to the $\bar{\Lambda}$ as functions of $p_T$ for positive $\eta$.
The longitudinal spin transfer is found to be $D_{LL}$ = -0.036 $\pm$ 0.048\,(stat) $\pm$ 0.013\,(sys) for $\Lambda$ and $D_{LL}$ = 0.032 $\pm$ 0.043\,(stat) $\pm$ 0.013\,(sys) for $\bar{\Lambda}$ at $\left<\eta\right>$ = 0.5 and $\left<p_T\right>$ = 5.9\,GeV/$c$.
The data are compared with the theory expectations from Ref.~\cite{deFlorian:1998ba}, with $D_{LL}$ for $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ combined, and from Ref.~\cite{Xu:2005ru}, with $D_{LL}$ separately for $\Lambda$ and for $\bar\Lambda$.
The data are still consistent with zero within uncertainty, and also provide no evidence for a difference between  $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ $D_{LL}$.
However, the data are below the DSV scenario 3 theory expectation assuming that the quark polarized fragmentation functions are flavor-independent~\cite{deFlorian:1998ba}.

The vertical bars and boxes indicate the sizes of the statistical and systematic uncertainties, respectively. The $\bar{\Lambda}$ results have been offset to slightly larger $p_T$ values for clarity.}
\label{DLL_09etap}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\section{Summary and Outlook}
In summary, we report the first measurement of the transverse spin transfer, $D_{\mathrm{TT}}$, to $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt s$\,=\,200\,GeV at RHIC-STAR, and an improved measurement of the longitudinal spin transfer, $D_{LL}$, to $\Lambda$ hyperons and $\bar{\Lambda}$ anti-hyperons in longitudinally polarized proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200\,GeV from STAR.
The results for $D_\mathrm{TT}$ are found to be consistent with zero for $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ within uncertainties, and are also consistent with model predictions.
The $D_{LL}$ data do not provide evidence for a non-vanishing spin transfer within uncertainties, but tend to be below a model expectation based on the extreme assumption on polarized fragmentation functions.

STAR is expanding its acceptance by series of detector upgrades including an ongoing upgrade to the inner sectors of the TPC and the proposed forward detector upgrades~\cite{starFWD},  which would enable a number of interesting hyperon polarization measurements, including spin transfers $D_{TT}$, $D_{LL}$ and other hyperon polarization measurements such as the induced transverse polarization in unpolarized proton-proton collisions, at very forward rapidities in proton-proton collisions.

Sura () was a city in the southern part of the area called by ancient Jewish sources Babylonia, located east of the Euphrates. It was well-known for its agricultural produce, which included grapes, wheat, and barley. It was also a major center of Torah scholarship and home of an important yeshiva—the Sura Academy—which, together with the yeshivas in Pumbedita and Nehardea, gave rise to the Babylonian Talmud.

Location
According to Sherira Gaon, Sura () was identical to the town of Mata Mehasya, which is also mentioned in the Talmud, but Mata Mehasya is cited in the Talmud many times, either as a nearby town or a suburb of Sura, and the Talmudist academy in Mata Mehasya served as a branch of Sura Academy, which was founded by Abba Arikha in the third century.

A contemporary Syriac source describes it as a town completely inhabited by Jews, situated between Māḥōzē and al-Hirah in the Sawad. A responsum of Natronai ben Hilai says that Sura was about  from al-Hirah.

History

Byzantine–Sasanian wars
It was a [Byzantine] garrison of some importance in the Persian campaigns of Belisarius; and a full account is given of the circumstances under which it was taken and burned by Chosroes I. (A.D. 532), who, having marched three long days' journey from Circesium to Zenobia, along the course of the Euphrates, thence proceeded an equal distance up the river to Sura. Incidental mention of the bishop proves that it was then an episcopal see. (Procop. Bell. Pers. i. 18, ii. 5.) Its walls were so weak that it did not hold out more than half an hour; but it was afterwards more substantially fortified, by order of the emperor Justinian. (Id. de Aedificiis Justiniani, ii. 9.)"

What is self-esteem?
According to Meriam-Webster's Dictionary (2015), self-esteem is "a confidence and sense of satisfaction in oneself." Having a positive sense of self-esteem can lead to psychological health and well-being, while having a negative sense of self-esteem may lead to psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Our sense of self can also inform our decision making and the life choices that we make. For this reason, having a positive sense of self is important and is something that we should all strive to develop.
Do I need to work on my self-image and level of self-esteem?
If you would like to learn more about your sense of self, Psychology Today, provides a free, brief assessment of your general level of self-esteem. This 34 question assessment can be found at the following address: http://psychologytoday.tests.psychtests.com/take_test.php?idRegTest=3207.
How can one increase their self-esteem?
Focus on the internal causes of your successes instead of the external. When thinking about an accomplishment, one might be tempted to focus on the external factors that led to success rather than the internal factors. For example, if you were to get a promotion at work, to what would you attribute the cause of your success? Would you believe that it was due to your hard work, talents and abilities (i.e., internal causes)? Or would you believe that you only received the promotion because the person who previously held the position retired (external causes)? Identifying and acknowledging the internal factors that led to your success will lead to an increase in self-esteem and therefore should be focused on when reflecting on positive life events.
Identify your positive qualities. According to Leslie Sokol, PhD with Psychology Today (2010), one can increase their self-esteem by writing down a list of their positive qualities and reflecting on them. Include in this list any skills, talents, assets, resources, accomplishments or anything else that makes you feel good about yourself. You can also add to this list the compliments that others have given you. When experiencing moments of self-doubt, go back to this list to remind yourself of all of the positive qualities that you possess.
Set realistic goals that can be accomplished. Although the saying "Shoot for the stars. Even if you miss you will fall among the stars" may hold some credence in certain situations, it is also important that we set attainable goals that can realistically be accomplished. When tackling large projects, remember to break them down into smaller parts so that you can feel a sense of accomplishment along the way.
Surround yourself with the people who make you feel good about yourself. Spend time with the people who treat you with love and respect, and who acknowledge and congratulate you on your achievements. Although an individual with a strong sense of self-esteem may be able to disregard negative comments made by others, if that individual is constantly surrounded by this negativity, it will begin to affect their self-esteem. For this reason, it is important that we spend time with the people who make us feel good and that want to build us up instead of bring us down.

Addiction Costs Employers $100 Billion Every Year. We're Dedicated to A Better Way.
To combat our nation's addiction crisis, corporate America must become recovery ready.
Ryan Hampton
Sharon Murillo
Employers can learn a lot from those who have successfully found long term recovery – which is why we are joining together to help people with substance use disorder and others affected by addiction. More than 200 Americans lose their lives to drug-related causes every day. Those losses have a profound effect on our families, communities, and economy.
Many companies take on health conditions in the workplace. Some companies offer sugar free options for diabetic employees in their cafeterias; others organize groups of workers to run 5Ks each October for breast cancer. It's time we do the same for employees and families struggling and finding recovery from addiction.
Substance use disorder is a mental health disorder that has expensive and destructive effects on both the person who is suffering, and the people around them. The loss to companies in the United States due to alcohol and drug problems by employees totals $100 billion a year, according to The National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information. People who struggle with addiction are more likely to miss work, file worker's compensation claims, and have interpersonal issues with other employees. The turnover rate is higher, as well. People with drug-related convictions on their record may not even be able to find meaningful employment, because they're legally disqualified from working.
We are stakeholders in the drug epidemic, the same way businesses are stakeholders in the ebb and flow of the stock market. In an economy of people rather than dollars, every action has a ripple effect. Americans spend approximately one-third of their lives at work. Leaving addiction at the door when someone clocks in, is impossible. Data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), shows that between 2008 and 2012, "an annual average of 8.7 percent of full-time workers aged 18 to 64 used alcohol heavily in the past month." As many as 8.6 percent of employees used illegal drugs in that same timeframe, and 9.5 percent of America's workforce was "dependent on, or abused, alcohol or illegal drugs in the past year." Ignoring or penalizing the problem solves nothing. We have to take action.
For those who disagree with the moral imperative of providing a recovery-friendly workplace for people affected by substance use disorder, let's recognize that it's also simply a good business practice to do so. When people feel supported at work, everyone benefits. There is lower turnover, fewer sick days, a better workplace culture, and higher productivity.
A study of the economic impact of substance use treatment in Ohio found significant improvements in job-related performance: 91 percent decrease in absenteeism; 88 percent decrease in problems with supervisors; 93 percent decrease in mistakes at work; and a 97 percent decrease in on-the-job injuries.
Rather than punish an employee for a highly treatable illness, we encourage other leaders and employers to seek accessible solutions to addiction in the workplace. People with substance use disorder are the same as employees with cancer and diabetes – their disease just happens to be highly stigmatized. Overwhelmingly, data shows that when people feel supported and have access to the resources they need to maintain their health, they do more than recover. They are also more efficient, happier, and more productive. That, in turn, makes for a better workplace for everyone. Recovery is as contagious as the substance use was, but with a positive effect rather than a deleterious one. From a business perspective, it's better to invest in a tried-and-trained, experienced employee than hire a new person every 90 days.
Many people say that recovery is its own reward. We say, there are tangible benefits to recovery, too.
Recently, Serve You Rx created a credo that expresses its commitment to changing the culture around substance use disorder. We've stated our dedication to parity, fairness, and seamless access to medical treatment, recovery services, and other supports through our employee benefits and employee assistance programs. But we aren't stopping there. We will go several steps further to create a thriving, recovery friendly workplace that nurtures healing, provides support, and eliminates shame and discrimination for employees finding recovery and their loved ones. We are going to treat addiction like what it is: a mental health disorder, not a moral failing. And we will treat our employees like the community they are. They are individuals who are supporting one another, rather than an expendable workforce.
Partnering with the national addiction recovery non-profit The Voices Project, we hope to scale this initiative and onboard other like-minded employers. Through innovation, leadership, and solid public-private partnerships, corporate America can make a significant dent in our nation's most urgent public health crisis.
Employers and corporate leaders can instigate a new shift in thinking and cultural tipping point. Most business leaders already try to create a workplace environment that prioritizes honesty, cooperation, and mutual support which can easily extend to recovery. We will support recovery community organizations, medical professionals, and allies in our mission. We're embracing our responsibility to stem the drug epidemic, and we call on others to follow suit.
When we recover together, we all win.

Restaurants and Bars to Assist with Contact Tracing
More from CHON-FM Northern News
Friday, December 4th, 2020 3:34pm
One patron in each party will be required to sign in and provide contact information. The eating and drinking establishments will be required to keep the sheets for 30 days. They will only be provided to Yukon Communicable Disease Control if an exposure has been identified.
Beginning Monday, December 7, 2020, restaurants and bars throughout Yukon will be required to maintain a daily list of patrons. Yukon's Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Brendan Hanley, has introduced this requirement to assist with contact tracing.
The most up-to-date information on Yukon restaurants and bars can be found at https://yukon.ca/en/guidelines-covid-19
"We have been very pleased with the collaboration with Yukon restaurants and bars as well as their exemplary demonstration of COVID-19 safe practices. An additional measure to protect customers and staff will be a daily list so that, we will be able to directly contact individuals who may have been present during an exposure. A list will mean contact tracers can reach out to contacts more quickly and help to prevent any further transmission." Yukon Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Brendan Hanley
The requirement is being introduced under the Eating and Drinking Establishment Regulations through Environmental Health Services.
Operators and owners were advised Wednesday, December 2, of the new requirement.
Yukon is not the only jurisdictions requiring bars and restaurants to collect and maintain this information.
Restaurants and bars will only be asked to produce these lists if a positive COVID-19 case is identified.
