What Anisa Salmi's photo leak tells us
By Angela Espinoza, News Editor
An open letter published on October 1 to opnlttr.com by University of British Columbia graduate Anisa Salmi has brought into question police handling of cyber defamation. Salmi's letter was in response to discovering nude photos of her had been published without her permission to US gossip site thedirty.com.
Salmi had previously shared the photos with a boyfriend who, following their breakup, allegedly posted the photos online, along with slanderous statements about Salmi. In her open letter, titled "Cyber-libel: What is Canada doing to protect Canadians?" Salmi stated she had repeatedly sought government assistance after finding out about the photos from a friend in September. Salmi began looking into specific laws, and felt she qualified for seeking charges based on "defamation/cyber-bullying, breach of privacy, and violation of copyright laws."
However, after Salmi contacted a non-emergency police line, she was told to try small claims court; small claims court stated "defamation and privacy" were covered by the Supreme Court. When Salmi returned to the police to report her ex-boyfriend specifically, she was told there were no laws regarding her situation.
By this point in her open letter, Salmi states, "The question that was fired at me the most was, 'You shared the photos with this person willingly?' This statement implies that the upload of my private photos on a public Internet forum is somehow my fault."
Since the publication of Salmi's letter, Salmi has received public support and has spoken to a number of news outlets. "It was horrifying. I just felt like my life was over," Salmi told CBC in an interview.
"I just felt violated and exposed," she shared with Metro News. "The photos were up there without my consent."
Just over a week later, Salmi was able to get the photos removed from thedirty.com with some outside help. Global reported that Salmi spent around $2,000 in fees to have a company finally make thedirty.com take down the photos and entry on Salmi. Salmi was ultimately protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, based on the fact that the photos published online were taken by her.
Although Salmi was able to get the photos removed, she has been vocal about her experience with the legal system. "I'm just disappointed in that I had to advocate so hard for myself when I know there's been a crime that's committed against me," Salmi told Global.
"I think it's outrageous that in this country my rights were not protected and no action was taken against this crime."
Website thedirty.com has been around since 2007, and has an active forum community based out of BC. Despite numerous allegations made against the website, founder Hooman Karamian, also known as Nik Richie, often defends the site and actions of its users.

How did he summon the fierce emotions necessary to play characters such as the skinhead in American History X (1998), for which he received a second Oscar nomination), or the ex-yuppie in last year's controversial film Fight Club? "It's something I have a capacity for," he said. "I don't mean that I'm full of rage and violence. I'm not. But portraying that kind of character has always felt right in the middle of my strike zone. When I went to do American History X, I was thinking: 'I'm going to eat this thing alive.'

Concerned about protecting your business data, we are here to support you.

Communication is Essential During These Times
Janis MacKenzie, President & CEO, San Francisco
MacKenzies Communications
When productivity came to a screeching halt back in March as a result of the pandemic, MacKenzie Communications didn't show any signs of slowing down. One wouldn't immediately consider the San Francisco-based integrated marketing and communications agency with 35 years under the belt an essential business, but during these times they have certainly played a critical role. Across various sectors including healthcare, education, and transportation, MacKenzie was a significant participant in how companies responded to the pandemic.
"There has been a lot of emphasis on targeted stakeholder communication about how to manage the impact of the virus within an organization and its delivery," said Janis MacKenzie, President and CEO of the agency.
From strategizing recovery and growth plans to handling employee, investor, and customer relations, the team at MacKenzie had to adjust quickly to remote work life to be able to continue supporting their clients through the uncertainty.
"We have benefited from having a very cohesive, integrated team and a very strong culture of communication and collaboration. We were set up for success early on," said Janis. "Certainly technology has helped us. I don't know how we would have done the same sort of work collaboratively 15 years ago had this happened. We are the beneficiaries of the Zooms, Microsoft Teams, and the Webex [meetings], all the good things we have at our disposal."

One Architect Shares Their Company's Post-Pandemic Plans
Jason Hagopian, Principal, Miami
TSAO Design Group
This bi-coastal architecture firm is finding new ways to keep business as usual in a post-pandemic world.
Everyone is looking for answers, says Jason Hagopian, principal at a boutique size architecture firm that specializes in office space, restaurants, and hotels. Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, Jason has been busier than ever as companies are scrambling to reassess their physical work space. The answers, he says, seem to change every week.
As everyone is eager to get back to a normalcy, adaptation is key. His strategy with clients of various sizes and needs is to be flexible and cautious. There is no one solution for a post-pandemic work space and it is likely to continue to evolve. Perhaps your business will benefit from a staggered or a rotating schedule. Maybe your team can spread out their workspaces and keep meetings to virtual gatherings only.
Jason says his employees were no strangers to virtual collaboration as they're already spread out across the country. From sharing renderings to live meeting minutes to site photos to video calls, they've expanded their tool set to fully connect the company. "You have to want to be connected. Being remote requires us to put extra energy into being connected," says Jason. "We try to make it as simple as possible."
See more of our interview with Jason Hagopian on ProActive's social media channels, including his solution to networking during the pandemic.
One Upside to This Year
If we've learned anything in 2020, it's that small businesses are an adaptable bunch. When things drastically changed seemingly overnight, we swiftly rose to the challenge by implementing flexibility in our office spaces, hours, software, communication, and processes. Although none of us could have anticipated the curve balls this year would throw, we can certainly learn from them ensuring long-term success for our companies.
At ProActive, when we looked at our work on a fundamental level, we realized how much our expertise has grown our consulting services. During these transitory times, we are dedicated to helping small businesses create permanent sustainable solutions in everything from workflows to data organization and tools and services.
As you look forward to the upcoming year, ask yourself if your business is structured for success. If not, ProActive can help.
Best Practices for Collaborating Remotely
It's been six months since the coronavirus pandemic began and honestly this great juggling act we're all doing of working from home while managing employees is certainly starting to wear. At ProActive, we're shuffling between some employees in the office and some virtual to keep business running as usual.
It seems as if I'm not the only one who is tired. Companies are reporting recent drops in productivity as fatigue sets in around working remotely. While health and safety remain the top concerns, it's likely we all would benefit from a closer look at our remote collaboration ways.

How long does it take to heal adrenal fatigue? Short answer: A long time. Here's why.
Adrenal fatigue develops over time. It happens in response to chronic stress. Our body senses a threat, and it responds accordingly.
Our adrenal glands make hormones that allow us to respond quickly to a crisis, such as a pot burning on the stove. However, this survival mechanism is designed for short-lived threats.
Once it's safe again, our metabolism returns to normal. Our adrenals can catch a rest. Until the next crisis.
Long-term stress is different. It's more insidious. It's caused by things that aren't immediately life threatening. An example is workplace bullying. Spending eight hours a day in a virtual war zone takes a toll. Research shows our stress response doesn't switch off when we come home.
Chronic stress is sneaky. Chances are, we don't know our body is on perpetual high alert. So we don't realize that our adrenals are working much harder than they should.
In the early stages of adrenal exhaustion, you may not notice anything. Or, it may be subtle. You may have a little trouble sleeping. At this point, your adrenals still work pretty well, except they've shifted into overdrive. They pump out more hormones than usual, including cortisol. This hormone can interfere with your sleep patterns.
As adrenal exhaustion progresses, you may tire easily. You may also catch more colds, which don't go away easily. That's because elevated cortisol depresses your immune system.
If the stress continues, unabated, your adrenals can further deteriorate, according to this school of thought. Now, they don't produce enough cortisol. This is when you'll probably notice more troublesome symptoms, such as joint pain, extreme fatigue, irritability, cold hands and feet, along with other signs of general poor health.
You may become more sensitive to chemicals. You may be more sensitive to noise. Emotional changes can also happen.
Is It Possible To Recover From Adrenal Fatigue?
The good news is that adrenal fatigue appears to be reversible. Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself, given the right tools.
However, recovery is probably going to take time. At least it did for me. Please understand that I'm not a doctor. So I can't offer any medical advice. And I can't promise you'll get better. All I can do is share my story of my two-time battle with adrenal fatigue.
My hope is that it will inspire you to work with your own healthcare team, to find the right remedies that can help you get well again. I've written a lot of articles about healing from adrenal fatigue and chronic pain. These are an overview.
Because I used so many healing methods and natural remedies, it would be impossible to list them all here. So I designed an easy-to-follow online course on Natural Pain Management Strategies. This would also be appropriate for people without chronic pain. Because the path to healing the adrenals would be the same. The course is designed for close collaboration with your doctor, so you can see what's available, and find what works for you.
I've suffered adrenal burnout twice. This happened after dealing with a series of extremely stressful events. Now, I'm more careful not to put myself into stressful situations.
In order to get a correct diagnosis, you probably need to see an alternative health expert. Mainstream medical doctors typically don't believe this is a real. Standard laboratory tests often appear normal in people with adrenal fatigue.
However, a holistic practitioner may employ different techniques, such as muscle testing. He or she will also take a careful case history. This will include questions about your stress level.
My second bout with adrenal exhaustion was much more intense than the first. I'd been putting up with a ridiculous situation for a couple of years. I realized it was bad, but did nothing to change it. Unfortunately, that was a big mistake.
Does Adrenal Fatigue Cause Inflammation?
Soon, my back began to hurt. This pain then began to travel down my leg. After a few months, I was unable to walk. My holistic health practitioner explained that my weakened adrenals resulted in chronic inflammation. My case was particularly severe.
If I didn't get good alternative medical care, I'm convinced my health would have continued to worsen. At some point, I'd probably have needed a wheelchair. What seemed to turn my situation around was a good diet, homeopathy, essential oils and a firm commitment to avoid toxic situations. Sometimes, dealing with difficult people is unavoidable. In that case, you need to limit these encounters.
Because my adrenals were so weak, I took various herbal products for support. Once I reduced the stress, and started to eat right, my body seemed to do the rest.
For me, herbs have been immensely helpful. Because my inflammation was so out of control, I'll probably need to take these natural anti-inflammatory agents for the rest of my life.
Go Nutrients Adrenal Edge is a popular supplement that contains a mix of herbal adaptogens, such as astragalus, eleuthero, ginkgo biloba, licorice root and lavender. It's designed to strengthen your body and help with your stress response. This formula is gluten free and alcohol free.
For me, recovery took about five to seven years. I noticed gradual progress along the way. So it's hard to pinpoint exactly when my health returned. At some point, I realized I could walk again, without a lot of pain.
My condition was very advanced. It was also the second time I'd had adrenal exhaustion. I don't claim to be completely cured. But I'm about 85 to 90 percent better. My energy level has improved so much. But I'll probably never have the energy of a perfectly healthy person.
If you've been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, be patient with yourself. My healing took time and a lot of effort.
My own health didn't improve much until I upgraded my diet. I now eat real food, and most of it is organic. This means I need to cook my family's meals from scratch. This was a big adjustment. There was a steep learning curve, until it became easier.
Fortunately, I had a good friend who walked me through the process. She'd been putting healthy meals on the table for years. So she told me how to shop, what to buy and passed along some cooking tips. I encourage my readers who need help cooking to sign up for Real Plans for a month or two.
This is a low-cost meal planning service designed to save you time and money. You receive a weekly shopping list, along with delicious, healthy recipes. So you buy only what you need, reducing the likelihood of waste. This service includes live chat with meal planning experts. Click on the image below for more information.
Can You Ever Recover from Adrenal Fatigue?
Dr. Josh Axe, DC is one of my favorite online health experts. I've found that in general, chiropractors are very aware of adrenal fatigue and know how to set you on the road to recovery. He offers some really good advice in his article called 3 Steps To Heal Adrenal Fatigue.
Another great source of information on adrenal fatigue is Dr. Michael Lam, MD. Unlike most regular medical doctors, he believes adrenal fatigue is real. His website is filled with great information on how to regain your health.
Previous How Long Does it Take Fertility Blend to Work?
I wax just wondering if you had any advice for me? I have been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue but I have just recently discovered that adrenal fatigue and not feeding your body enough is closely related. I had a very stressful job as to which I did not take care of myself and eat well. I was so busy that I would forget that I didn't eat anything. Along with a bad case of ecoli that landed me in the hospital for a week and my mother being in the hospital and having to make the horrible decision to take her off of life support. I now know how much all of those events wreaked havoc on my body. I am starting to get better with better nutrition but I have had several knee injuries in my childhood but when I was not feeding my body enough it took it from my muscles all of them so the challenge is to get my strength back. I was so very active but since then I walk not much and very unstable. Any suggestions?
Hi Sunny, I can't give medical advice because I'm not a doctor. All I can do is share my own story of how I recovered from adrenal fatigue. Stress is one thing I had to get rid of. This included limiting contact with any "toxic" people in my life. I choose my friends carefully, eat organic food, pray a lot and try to stay away from drama. Try to find a good holistic practitioner to get you back on track. They are out there, but not always easy to find. Ask around. Word-of-mouth recommendations are often good. I used a lot of natural remedies, something I've written about in various posts. Along with all these remedies, I also did tapping to eliminate my stress. Best of luck to you. I'll keep you in my prayers. Check back and let us know how you're doing.
How do you find a practitioners that are holistic but reputable? Is there credentials you should be looking for when searching?
That's a really good question. Unfortunately, good holistic healers are difficult to find because there are not a lot of them. We're sort of on our own, because they operate outside of mainstream medical circles. Chiropractors will be credentialed. They are very well trained. The trick is to find the best one in your area. Not all of them are created equally. Some of them could potentially cause harm. Good homeopaths can be amazing. The best way to find one I think is a word of mouth referral. Maybe from a chiropractor. It's important that we all do our own research. I hope you find help. Eating real food and staying away from junk is standard advice that any good holistic health practitioner will give. Feel free to join my private Facebook Group. Details are in the About section.


Researchers have discovered blood-based genomic biomarkers in infants and toddlers with autism spectrum disorders, leaving open the possibility that a blood test could be developed to help identify youngsters at risk for developing the condition.
Eric Courchesne, PhD, director of the Autism Center of Excellence at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, and colleagues conducted a proof-of-concept study that used a unbiased systems biology-based method to search for genes and gene pathways in blood samples that best differentiated autism children from typically developing peers. The researchers measured leukocyte (white blood cell) RNA expression levels.
In two different analyses of the samples from young boys, the first assay had an autism genomic signature (accuracy rate in identifying autism) 83% of the time, the researchers reported in JAMA Psychiatry. In the second assay, the figure was 75%.
The accuracy, according to the researchers, is higher than other behavioral and genetic screens currently available.
"Our present study shows examination of the gene expression profiles at the very early age of initial clinical detection reveals both strong evidence of early biological processes in [autism] and abnormal signals with the potential to serve as an early, practical biomarker of risk for the disorder in general pediatric settings," Courchesne said in a statement.
The next steps for the researchers are to further refine the process and identify diagnostic risk markers in females.
In a study published in the current online issue of JAMA Psychiatry, an international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, report finding a highly accurate blood-based measure that could lead to development of a clinical test for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk in males as young as one to two years old. The test could be done in community pediatric settings.
The degree of accuracy, they said, out performs other behavioral and genetic screens for infants and toddlers with ASD described in literature.

Child Victims Act Advocate Gains Ally in Fight Against Lobbying Regulators
By Nick Reisman New York State
PUBLISHED 7:37 PM ET Aug. 07, 2019 PUBLISHED August 7, 2019 @7:37 PM
Lobbying regulators for the last year have pressured Kat Sullivan, a supporter of the Child Victims Act, to register to lobby after she paid for billboards and a plane to fly a banner in support of the measure. For Sullivan, the issue is a personal one: She was raped while a student at Emma Willard in Troy.
"They're not designed to be doing this. This is not what should be done, this is wrong," Sullivan said.
But now Sullivan has an ally in the Legislature. Assemblyman Charles Lavine this week wrote a letter to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, known as JCOPE, questioning why the agency is pursuing the lobbying case against her. Failure for Sullivan to register could result in a minimum fine of $25,000. Lavine said the commission is not functioning the way it was intended to when he voted to create it.
"It troubled me greatly that someone who has gone through what Ms. Sullivan has gone through now has to contend with the actions of a state agency," Lavine said.
The commission's investigations are meant to be content neutral, pursing cases regardless of who or what is at issue. But Lavine did not rule out the possibility of changing the lobbying law as a result of the commission's efforts to have Sullivan register to lobby. Sullivan says she needs more help.
"I need for other people to do the right thing and contact JCOPE and let them know how this feels for them as an observer of watching a victim be revictimized by a system that victimized them in the first place," Sullivan said.
Sullivan, meanwhile, is also critical of the lobbying commission's chairman, Michael Rozen, who mediated settlement money on behalf of Penn State in the Jerry Sandusky case. Sullivan says that's a conflict of interest.
"It's unconsciousnable he has not recused himself at this point. I had to find out through use of lawyers this conflict even existed in the first place," Sullivan said.
Commission spokesman Walt McClure declined to comment, but noted the agency does have a process for commissioners to recuse themselves when a conflict arises. The commission is due to meet about Sullivan's case in September.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a classic, especially when it comes to kids and school lunches. I thought it would be fun to make a cookie version to celebrate the beginning of a new school year, which is in session on August 21 around here, three weeks from today!
Some of the cookies were cut in half before baking, but I like the effect better by cutting the cookie in half after it bakes. The cut edge looks more like bread as you can see above in the peanut butter and "Nutella" sandwich.
Since I will be shipping some of these cookies to my out-of-state munchkins I opted to use Wilton candy melts instead of actual jam/peanut butter/Nutella. The colors add a bit of whimsy.
It was a plus that I already had purple, red, chocolate and peanut butter candy melts in my pantry:) I have one grandson that loves peanut butter & Nutella sandwiches which gave me the idea to add the chocolate melts:) The peanut butter candy melts give these cookies a big, yummy peanut butter boost and look very much like the real thing!
These PB & J sandwich cookies turned out soft, chewy and delicious!
Pack some of these pb & j cookies in your child's lunch alongside a real pb & j sandwich and I'm sure they'll be a hit at the lunch table!
Let dough chill a bit for easier handling.
Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and roll out your dough to desired thickness (I rolled out to about 1/4-inch thick (thinner than usual) since each sandwich is two cookies in one).
Bake cookies about 13 minutes.
Melt the candy melts in the microwave according to package directions.
Spread some of the peanut butter (or chocolate) melts on one slice of "bread" and the purple or red candy melts on another slice, trying to match size/shape of the two cookies. Gently place one on top of the other, melted sides together. Let dry completely.
These are so cute! My boys would love to have peanut butter & jelly for breakfast, lunch, dinner, & definitely dessert!:) Cute idea!
A classic combo, Sue. My husband will love these cookies too.
I still love PB&J sandwiches and your cookies look great.
Oh Sue, these are so cute - I really thought they were sandwiches!!
Looks like real sandwiches!! Love PBJ!!
Ohhh these look REALLY good!
When my son was three I put together a construction party for him and I made something similar. So cute!
These are so adorable. What better way to enjoy two great snacks: cookies and milk, and a PB&J.
These are so cute! Perfect for a back to school treat.
How smart with the candy melts instead of jam. Great thinking. They look pretty realistic.
You are so creative. Yes, they look just like PB & J sandwiches...only better because these are cookies! :D My kids would go crazy about these.
I love the sense of fun you add to your cookies, you must be very popular with your grandchildren. They are fantastic and so realistic. I'll have to try these with my boys.
My oldest would love these - PB & J are her favorite! Such a cute idea!
What a fun idea, my son will absolutely love these!
Gosh, these sound good. I have to make them sometime!

About OurAirports
OurAirports is a free site where visitors can explore the world's airports, read other people's comments, and leave their own. The help pages have information to get you started.
The site is dedicated to both passengers and pilots. You can create a map of the airports you've visited and share that map with friends. You can find the closest airports to you, and discover the ones that you haven't visited yet.
Behind the fun and features, OurAirports exists primarily as a public good. When Australia forced the US government to shut down public access to its Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF) service in 2006, there was no longer a good source of global aviation data. OurAirports started in 2007 primarily to fill that gap: we encourage members to create and maintain data records for airports around the world, and they manage over 40,000 of them. Many web sites, smartphone apps, and other services rely on OurAirport's data, which is all in the Public Domain (no permission required).
OurAirports does not treat your personal information as a commodity: that means that we don't buy it, sell it, or use it to spam you. Still, privacy on the modern web is a tricky thing, and there are some points that you should be aware of:
OurAirports is a public site, and by "public", we mean PUBLIC. All content you explicitly submit to OurAirports through forms aside from your password, email address, and searches is released into Public Domain and can be viewed by anyone on the web, including search engines.
That means that your user name, description of yourself, and profile (Twitter/LinkedIn/etc. public URL), the airports you've flagged as visited, every comment you leave, every correction you make to airport data, and your home airport (if you name it) are out there, on the web. This is an open-data web site, after all, and we don't believe that "open" means "we can benefit from it, but we'll hide it from everyone else".
Like nearly every site on the web, we log network activity. That means that we know the Internet address that you connected from and, most of the time, the URL of the web page that referred you to us. If you're logged in, we also have your login name and any information associated with it.
We don't do anything evil with all that network-level information (in fact, we don't do anything good either, because this is a volunteer site, and no one has time to look at server logs). You should know, however, that any intermediary on the web that you connect through, such as a firewall or proxy, can also get this information.
That means that your Internet service provider probably has that information as well, and we can't help what they do with it. If you're using open WiFi in an airport or coffee shop, then everyone there can also see what you're doing if they install some simple sniffing software on their laptops. If you don't want intermediaries to have access to that information (e.g. if you're trying to get your family out of a dangerous country and looking for the best exit airport), you can connect to all web sites via a trusted Virtual Private Network (VPN), which will hide your web activity from anyone trying to snoop on it.
If (and only if) you authorise it, OurAirports uses the W3C Geolocation API to obtain your current location from your web browser and prefill the latitude and longitude into the OurAirports search box.
We can't get your location information unless you tell your browser/smartphone that we're allowed to, and even then, we use it only when you explicitly click on a link (not every time you visit a page on the site). The information goes back to us as a search request that indistinguishable from if you typed the latitude and longitude manually. We do not store your location in any way, except as it might appear in search requests, and we don't know if the search requests are your current location, or just a location you're interested in. See below, however, for other possible privacy issues outside our control.
For the maps in OurAirports, OpenStreetMap provides the vector-map tiles and ESRI provides the satellite-view tiles. Since your computer or mobile device requests the tiles directly from their servers, they will have a record of your activity, associated with your IP address.
The ads that appear on the right side of many OurAirports screens are provided by the Google AdSense program. As of 2016, our revenue from ads is approximately USD 350/month, which covers hosting costs for the site, but little of the effort spent developing and maintaining it (in a good month, what's left over after hosting pays for a few visits to a coffee shop to work on OurAirports). Nobody's job depends on this ad revenue, so please don't feel guilty if you choose to block these ads using an ad-filtering browser add-on like Adblock Plus. In the future, we may offer a donation option for people who want to support the site but are concerned about the privacy implications of online ads.
Like much of the web, OurAirports also uses Google Analytics to collect anonymized information about how much traffic the web site gets, how people use it, and the parts of the world those people come from. If you would like to opt out from having Google Analytics collect information on the web sites you visit (not just OurAirports), Google provides an Opt-out browser add-on. There are also add-ons to various browsers to block not just analytics but all third-party tracking cookies (such as Facebook's, which we don't have on OurAirports): the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Privacy Badger is especially good.
The privacy cautions that apply to the maps embedded on OurAirports pages also apply to the ads and analytics. On all sites that display Google ads and use Google Analytics, Google is able to collect a large amount of private information, including what town or city you're browsing from, what kind of browser you're using, and even the search string you used to reach a site. All of this information flows directly to Google from your browser, and is again, outside the control of OurAirports, but we wanted you to be aware of it. Again, to learn more, please read Google's privacy policy.

India vs Sri Lanka | Bowlers decimate Sri Lanka to help India win Nagpur Test
>cricket
>report
Indian bowlers put up a dominant display on Day 4 to crush a struggling Sri Lanka by an innings and 239 runs to register an emphatic victory in Nagpur. In reply to India's first innings total of 610/6, Sri Lanka failed to muster enough steam and were bundled out for 166 in the second essay.
Brief Scores: Sri Lanka 205 and 166/10 (Chandimal 61, Lakmal 31*, Ashwin 4/63) lost to India 610/6d by an innings and 239 runs
After a display of guts and glory in the first Test match at the Eden Gardens, normal service was resumed at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur as the visitors failed to survive in front of the Indian spin bowling duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja and bundled out for a paltry score of 205 runs on a wicket that seemed a typical Jamtha wicket. Although Dimuth Karunaratne and Dinesh Chandimal - Sri Lanka's best bet for the spin-friendly conditions thanks to their ability to play with a dead bat - struck fifties while other batsmen, including the senior statesman Angelo Mathews, failed to provide any noteworthy contributions to the team against the attack that left out their two best pacers - Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami - for the game. In reply, the hosts, once again, lost the wicket of KL Rahul cheaply and finished on 11 for 1 at stumps on Day 1.
After the failure to put up a good score on the board, the task was cut out for the visiting bowlers, but Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay defied all their tricks with a stoic display of batsmanship and put the Lankan bowlers' patience to test. While Vijay was oozing class with his front-foot shots against the pacers, Pujara was a treat for the purists' eyes. Although the run-scoring was slow, they didn't play any loose shots unlike their counterparts and added 209 runs for the second wicket before Vijay played a reckless shot to get out for 128. Virat Kohli came out to bat in the final session of the day and entertained the fans with some classy strokes that took India to 312/2 at the end of day's play.
If Day 2 was all about the classic demonstration of the perfect art of defensive and prodding Test cricket, Day 4 was the illustration of how to pace a Test innings. Kohli didn't have to break any sweat in order to pile pressure on the Lankans as he found run-scoring easier than ever. After completing his 19th Test century, he went on and on. After the dismissal of Pujara, Kohli joined hands with the comeback man Rohit Sharma and the duo combined to pulverize the bowlers. Rohit took a special liking towards Rangana Herath, stepping out at will and hitting him for boundaries. Kohli also paced his innings in the second session, scoring 47 runs off 62 balls he faced in the session. In the third session, he was even more attacking as he took only 36 deliveries to go from 170 to 200 to bring up his fifth Test double century. As soon Rohit completed his century, Kohli declared the innings with India at 610/6. That proved to be the right decision as Ishant Sharma got the better of Sadeera Samarawickrama in the evening to send the visitors to a lot of introspection.
For all the talks surrounding Sri Lanka's nadir, Day 4 of the Test put forward a frightening illustration of that as no one apart from Chandimal, to an extent, was able to face the Indian bowlers with any sort of authority. The day started with the dismissal of Karunaratne and then it seemed like a stroll in the park for the Indian bowlers. There was no resistance, no prodding mentality, and literally nothing from the Lankan batsmen to at least get to a respectable total. All they did was provide the Indian fielders with a glorified catching session. Chandimal although remained successful in striking a fifty-plus score, he was largely subdued by the spinners for the major part of the innings. Sri Lanka eventually managed to score 166 runs that presented India a 1-0 lead in the series.
