Pujara must improve T20 skills: Sehwag
April 28, 2017 karavalitimes 0 Comment
Stylish batsman Cheteshwar Pujara comes with the reputation of a good Test cricketer, according to former opener Virender Sehwag, who hoped that the Indian batting mainstay improves his skills in T20 cricket and gets picked by an IPL franchise in the next season.
Labelled as a 'Test match specialist', Pujara didn't find takers in IPL for the third successive year when he went unsold at the player's auction this season.
Replying to a question which sought to draw parallels between Hashim Amla and Pujara, Sehwag said, "Amla knows how to adapt to different formats, he knows how to play in what situation. As far as Pujara is concerned, he played for us but may be the hopes we had from him he did not come up to that expectations.
"But this happens when you play only one format, it becomes difficult to play in other format. Pujara's reputation is that of a wonderful Test batsman and not T20. Hope in coming years, he will improve his skills for the shorter format and hope he gets picked by some team next year."
Pujara last took part in the IPL in 2014 where he played for the Kings XI Punjab. He has also featured for Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore but never could manage to seal his place.

Climpson & Sons Home ImBREWvement workshops are for the passionate, budding home brewer. This workshop is all about exploring flavour in coffee - taking you on a sensory journey and working out what you like and why, then set to the task of brewing a V60 and an Aeropress for yourself.
We liken coffee tasting to wine tasting. We want to open you up to the world of coffee, how best to brew it and things to consider, in order to brew to your own individual preference and learn what you like. Check out what the course will cover below.
We give a little overview of where coffee comes from and what makes Specialty Coffee exceptional. Coffee is the seed of a fruit so we follow the journey from tree to our roastery and into your cup of coffee.
We'll be tasting a selection of coffees to better understand what affects flavour in coffee — speciality and commodity, washed and natural, arabica and robusta, and specialty coffee from opposite sides of the world. This will help you better understand coffee, to not only get a better idea of what you like and dislike, but to know how to find what you like and demystify the coffee label.
The sense of smell constitutes the most important sense in the perception of a coffee. But it is often difficult to identify an aroma in your coffee cup. Have you already encountered the feeling that you know a smell without being able to recognise it? Let's put it to the test with our industry standard Lu Nez du Café kit.
How do our senses work together to perceive flavours? The three main things that make up the taste of coffee are acids, bitters, and sugars. We will taste different foods to help with understanding how to identify them in coffee and what specifically in these components are positive attributes to look for.
We will provide a demonstration and insight on how you make the perfect brew with an Aeropress and V60, comparing their effect on coffee flavour with a comparison tasting and we will provide tips and tricks to get you making an enviable brew at home. You will then have a go at brewing — this session is practical and fun and will you have you making barista quality coffee at home in no time.
For the budding home brewer who doesn't know where to start or the semi-pro who wants to refine their technique and everyone in between. For young, old, amateurs and wannabe connoisseurs — anyone who loves coffee and wants to better understand why and how we taste coffee and how to make a better home brew.
Take your favourite coffee home with you!
Please note this course does not cover espresso, extraction theory or latte art.

EU leaders face tough negotiations over budget
EU leaders will gather in Brussels in an attempt to reach agreement on the next seven-year budget which faces a shortfall of up to €75 billion due to the UK's departure.
A number of richer countries want to limit the increase in the budget to 1% of gross national income, but they are facing strong resistance from net beneficiary member states.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar will travel to the summit after today's Dáil vote.
He has pledged to defend the Common Agriculture Policy, which is facing stiff cuts, according to the latest proposal.
Some of the bigger contributors – the so called Frugal Four of the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Sweden – want to keep the budget increase to a minimum, while central and eastern European member states insist on defending cohesion funding, the money that helps poorer countries catch up.
There are also demands on EU spending that have not been there before.
The European Commission wants to spend a lot more on fighting climate change, and to pay for the costs of managing migration from the Middle East and Africa.
European Council President Charles Michel has been trying to bridge the gap, shifting tens of billions here and there.
Under his latest proposal there will be a cut in the CAP budget of around €53bn.
The Netherlands has insisted its four way coalition has already agreed the national budget for four years and will not tolerate any increase in Dutch contributions to the EU budget.

Chat: Bradford Doolittle (Basketball)
Chat Home
Welcome to Baseball Prospectus' Wednesday January 30, 2008 1:00 PM ET chat session with Bradford Doolittle (Basketball).
Printer-
Bradford Doolittle writes "Court Vision" for Basketball Prospectus.
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): Greetings to Prospectus readers -- it's great to be with you for a little NBA chatter. Just a warning: I'll probably defer most college hoops queries to our experts on the subject, but I'll cherry pick a few of those questions where possible. Oh yeah, it's not what I'm here for, but I probably wouldn't be able to resist a baseball-related question or two. What's on your mind?
DokLivy (Austin, TX): Please tell me I'm wrong. But I have been watching college basketball for thirty years. The skill level has steadily (and in some cases drastically) fallen since those Larry Johnson-led UNLV teams of the early 1990s. Since then, college basketball is nearly unwatchable. Though somewhat better the last two years, I will never believe that any national champion these days could stay on the court with those Runnin' Rebels, or Jordan's North Carolina team, or Drexler's Phi Slamma Jamma team.
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): What I can say about this is strictly from an NBA fan's perspective of the college game. I used to watch much, much college basketball than I do now. Part of it is that -- and this is going to sound like blasphemy here -- I don't really like the NCAA tournament. I used to. But for whatever reason, I've just come to believe the purpose of any postseason format is to do the best job of determining the best team in the sport. (An residual attitude from baseball, I suspect.) I don't think a 65-team, one-and-done free for all accomplishes that. But the other part of it definitely traces back to the trend of the top young players leaving school after one or two years or skipping out altogether. That diminishes my interest and, I'll admit, I've been paying a bit more attention the last couple of years because of the NBA's new age limit on draft eligibility.
At the same time, college basketball fans I know -- and there are a lot of them here in Kansas City -- don't have any problems with the quality of hoops being played at that level.
Another key factor, perhaps THE key factor, in my declining interest in the college game is that my school, Missouri, has a program that is in complete disarray. I'm talking to YOU Quin Snyder. The Tigers have never recovered from your presence.
Or (Dallas): If the Mavericks don't bring home a championship this season, will Cuban dismantle the team in exasperation? In many circles this year seems to be portrayed as one final chance for the current squad.
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): Well, Nowitzki still isn't 30 but with his dropoff this season, Mavericks fans have to be concerned. The main reason the Mavericks won 65 games last season was because of Nowitzki's career campaign. The core group is still in its prime and they came close enough to winning the title two years ago that I doubt Cuban would be ready to break up the team just yet. But Cuban's a progressive thinker, perhaps too much so as was the case when he allowed Steve Nash to leave. You never know what the guy is going to do. If they can swing a deal for Jason Kidd, I suspect this talk of dismantling will go away.
Dexter (Oklahoma): Can you explain, in simplified terms, how you apply defense to your statistical measurement system. Blocks and steals are, at best, weak indicators of overall defense. Is there any simple way to include it into some statistical formula to complement the offensive stats that we all know so well?
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): This is as simple as I can explain it:
The individual defense component in my rating system doesn't look at blocks or steals, though those stats are part of the overall player rating (which I express as wins added or lost).
I rate individual (or "position" defense, though transition defense would be part of the equation) by first assigning a team defensive efficiency rating to each player. Thus, for example, the Celtics' roster would already have a leg up. I then track every game and assign a "boxscore counterpart" to each player who played a minimum of five minutes, provided a logical matchup can be identified. For each matchup, the system looks at the counterpart's normal rate of efficiency and then calculates his efficiency for that game. The difference between the "expected" efficiency and actual efficiency is determined. The system tallies these differences for the entire season and adjusts the player's team defense number accordingly. This method doesn't penalize players who are routinely assigned to the other team's best players.
Structurally, I am convinced that the method is sound. But any system is limited by the data with which it has to work. Since I'm working off the nightly box scores, that is undeniably a limiting factor. If I could get possession by possession data, that would be the mother lode. Right now, the system seems to work much better for starters than bench players.
As an aside, I will throw out there that I think Bruce Bowen's defense has declined considerably this season.
And, as another aside, I urge you to check out Ken Pomeroy's piece on the defensive value of players who combine high block & steal rates:
http://basketballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=65
jdelavalle ((Pembroke Pines, FL)): Georgetown might be the best defensive team in the nation, and many times it seems like many of their players (Freeman, Summers, Macklin, Wallace) arent playing at full potential; and yet the #6 ranked team in the country, is 0-2 against AP top 25 teams (memphis, pitt) and they have pulled off a number of very very close wins that couldve gone either way against lesser teams. Just how legitimate/good is this team?
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): Well, again, I defer our college guys for the definitive opinion on the Hoyas, but I suspect they still have a lot to prove. Their non-con schedule (other than Memphis) was a pretty futile exercise. But they are leading the Big East and the last time I checked, about one in three DI teams were in the Big East.
His #1 Fan (Central Iowa): Why didn't Bill Curley's awesome array of talent, post moves, athleticism, and heart translate from Boston College to the NBA?
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): I think we're all still in shock that Curley's hall-of-fame train got derailed. But, hey, he walked away after a career-best PER (just over 10) and made over $7 million in his career. I doubt he's too disappointed.
Jon (New York): Looking at Durant's numbers, his poor rebounding stands out. While players do develope scoring ability as they mature, it seems that either you come into the league as a solid rebounder or you'll never be one. Considering that his amazing rebounding in college was a big reason for his top prospect status, how big a concern should this be.
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): You're right -- his rebounding has been awful. Here's a 6'9" player who plays big-time minutes yet more than halfway through the season, his career high is 8 boards in a game.
You're also right that most of the time rebounding is a skill that pretty much manifests itself right off the bat. If you look historically at great players like Larry Bird, Marques Johnson, Bernard King, Rick Barry and Dr. J, their best per game rebounding averages were as rookies.
Rebounding in the NBA is generally a function of desire, athleticism and strength. So far, I don't think Durant's desire to rebound is really there. And we all know that he needs to get stronger. I suspect that when Durant decides he wants to be a rebounder and defender, he'll be an adequate one. Right now, he's satisfied just firing away jump shots and the team is letting him do it.
That said, he looked great against Spurs last night -- one of his best games. Though, even in that one, he was torched by Manu Giniobli.
dangor (New York): I know that this is a basketball chat but I remember your great weekly column on ESPN on the Royals. What's your prognosis for KC this year? Give me a guess on wins.
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): Yes! I knew a Royals fan would find his way here ... I haven't cobbled together my team projections yet. In fact, I'm seriously concerned about when I going to have time to do so. But I'll answer you like this: I think that at the end of last season, the overwhelming consensus was that the Royals were in a better position than they were at the end of the season before. I'm very confident that at the end of the 2008 season, we'll be able to say the same thing. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if they win fewer games than last season. But a bump up to the 73-76 win range wouldn't shock me, either. Really, it'll come down to how much Billy Butler and Alex Gordon improve. I'm excited, if maybe dreading that NBA/MLB overlap a little bit.
shag (Phoenix): So if Durant doesn't deserve rookie of the year, who does?
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): Deserve is such a harsh word...
My vote right now would go to Al Horford. He's got absolutely no shot to win the award, mind you. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Durant is a unanimous selection.
Durant is the most talented rookie. (Leaving aside Greg Oden.) But his inefficiency is impossible to overlook. If he were a five-year veteran, he'd be getting torched in the press. Of course, we don't look at a 19-year-old rookie the same way, nor should we. But the award should go to the guy who as helped his team win the most games THIS YEAR. With his defense and rebounding, for me, that guy is Al Horford.
Robert (Coral Gables): This is probably a useless question, but what can be done to fix the Heat?
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): If I knew that, I'd be working for Micky Arison right now.
The situation in Miami is a serious mess. They need to tear it down and start over. That's easier said than done in the NBA, of course. Ricky Davis comes off the books after this season, I believe. But until they figure out what to do with Shaq, the outlook is pretty bleak.
One more thing on Durant: The media out of Seattle suggests that maybe his teammates are becoming a little disenchanged with his shot selection. That's neither here nor there but the key question is whether it's really helping his development at this point to be given that much leeway.
costa24 (Montreal): I recognize that every Raptor fan like myself is driving people crazy shouting "Calderon this..." and "Calderon that...", so I apologize in advance for piling on, but what are your thoughts on him. Is this level of play something he can maintain? How real are his crazy numbers and what would he be worth if he were able to continue to play this way for the next few years?
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): There is no question Calderon is for real. His number this season, on a per minutes basis, are actually DOWN a little bit this season. I had him at 4.0 wins per 3,280 minutes last season. This season, it's 2.9. Both figures are outstanding.
I still don't think he's quite as good on both ends of the floor than would be a healthy T.J. Ford. But the health factor is huge. The Raptors are lucky to have Calderon. And he's awfully fun to watch. That win Toronto had in Boston was one of the best games to watch this season.
Will (iowa): who is the worst coach in the nba?
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): Isiah. He's the worst exec, too.
Mike Brown is a good coach, a very good one. But his choice to make the Cavs a slow tempo team (actually middle of the pack this season) is bad for the team and bad for the NBA.
Will (New Orleans): If you were the Sixers FO, how would your 08 FA wish list go? Who do we really have a chance at, and who might actually make us better?
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): The Sixers have a nice, developing core group in Iguodola (who is only 23) and Dalembert (26). Plus it looks like that Thaddeus Young pick might work out after all.
During the second half, the Sixers need to see what sort of swag they can get for Andre Miller and then find out if Louis Williams can run the team as a regular. They also need to find more burn for Rodney Carney to find otu they have there once and for all.
That's five young players who could comprise a starting five with definite upside. They also seem to like Jason Smith (I'm not sold.)
Before going crazy on the free agent market, Philly needs to sort what they have and add another piece in the draft.
costa24 (Montreal): How about Tyson Chandler? People seem to touting David West as the #2 guy pushing the Hornet train, yet I think Chandler is the more unique and irreplaceable guy there.
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): If we're talking long-term value, I would no doubt go with Chandler. But in reality, the Hornets need both -- without West, the Hornets wouldn't have enough offense to win at the level they've been playing out. But you're right, West is definitely the more replaceable of the too. But if anyone could do it, it'd be Hornets GM Jeff Bower. He's a good one.
Bradford Doolittle (Basketball): Hey, thanks to everybody that stopped by. I'm finishing up my primer for the second half of an NBA season that is shaping up as one of the best in recent memory. So many teams, so many contenders. Watch for that primer in the next day or two. Cheers.

Open Source: A false sense of security
The heartbleed vulnerability dropped like a bombshell, a large majority of web servers on the internet was sharing there memory with the world. The even bigger bombshell was that the vulnerability had existed for over two years. Most people consider open source more secure then proprietary code since anyone can verify that it's safe. The problem is that most people think that someone else already done that!
OpenSSL and it's heartbleed
Early 2014 it several security companies simultaneously publicized the heartbleed bug found in OpenSSL. Used by a majority of web servers online the bug in OpenSSL was a big issue. But the bug wasn't new, it was checked in more then two years earlier into the OpenSSL project. In December 2011 a German named Robert Seggelmann checked in some minor bug fixes and a new functionality, heartbeat.
Heartbeat was designed to keep the connection alive by sending 64kb to the server which responded with the same 64kb in return. The problem was that the heartbeat was built by two things, the data and a size parameter. By sending 1kb but telling the server you sent 64kb it would return 63kb of unrelated memory back to you. When Cloudflare put up a capture the flag competion with a vulnerable server it took only hours before several people had the private SSL certificate. The hearbeat function was also enabled by default.
Private SSL keys on the loose
SSL is a great way to protect against man in the middle attacks. If an attacker puts him self in between a user and a target it can be detected by loss of secure connection (SSL) or by unverified certificates. But if the attacker is in possession of the private key he/she can present a secure connection to the end user and no one will be the wiser that somebody is listening in to the traffic.
When this bug was patched it had existed for over two years in code that anyone could read. I usually say that if you have an attacker with enough will and resources the only way to protect your self is to disconnect your system. We now know, from the Snowden documents, that NSA was aware of this bug for a long time. By collecting private keys from big sites they were able to access encrypted information.
The cost for changing out all the potentially compromised certificates was estimated to be over a 100 million USD. The problem is that 1 out of 10 was replaced with a new certificate using the same private key, so the connection is still compromised! On top of that almost a 1000 sites among the 150 000 most popular sites online still have this issue.
Technical safeguards
When using open source on an important production system, why not check the code or hire someone to do an audit. Read up on as much information as possible at least, as I wrote above there still is a lot of systems out there with this issue. When you update to a new version check what new features are enabled by default, disable them until you have tested them. There are very few companies that actually do penetration testing on there own systems, you should always do that before you let the curious public loose on it!
Larger companies tend to use proprietary software, not really because it's safer but they payed for it and someone is responsible in a contract. This is the other end of this problem, we payed for it so it's someone else problem. Yes and no, we still need to secure our own systems and make sure that we don't have this kind of issues. So if there is a better open source alternative for a system you need use that, and use the money to do a code review/audit. That will be money well spent in the long run!

Adamson, 24, adult sex ads Austin, Texas, was sexually assaulted in November and in January In both cases, she knew the perpetrator.
Her only support network was her aunt, she says, and she got the "survivor" tattoo as part of the healing process. Like many other sexual assault survivors, Adamson found getting tattooed to be a therapeutic experience.
Without her tattoos symbolizing her experiences, "I really don't know where I would be. December Maxwell, 38, knows this feeling. She is a survivor of childhood sexual assault and published a paper in January on the phenomenon of survivors getting tattoos as a way to heal from trauma.

Previous research shows that in different cultures, tattoos symbolize membership in a group, signify status or commemorate a major life event. For the people in Maxwell's study, "getting tattoos was very therapeutic.
The participants got their first tattoos between the ages of 11 and 29 and had three each, on average. Some acquired their first body art after their assault. But by marking their skin in their own way, people are able to redefine their relationship with their bodies.

This is a "cathartic experience," she said, and some people in her any tattoo Tulsa Oklahoma ladies left lets go didn't realize how much they were holding on to their pain until they went through the process of selecting art that carries meaning for them and was designed to symbolize their experience.
Reclaiming their bodies also allows people to "shed the identity as a victim and move toward being a survivor," Maxwell laadies. Cierra Barefoot, who was sexually assaulted at 13, has the Fire Rose Unity Survivor Tattooresembling the outlines of a rose and the shape of fire.
She was inspired by American pop star Lady Gaga to tattoo this design beneath her collarbone. Lady Gaga has publicly discussed her sexual assault in the past, revealing she was raped at 19 and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Maxwell likens this to traditional art therapy, in which people have to draw legt related to how they feel and engage with their experiences in that way. But unlike art therapy, "a lot of participants talked about how the pain was part of the [healing] process," Maxwell said.
Similar to meditation, the physical pain of the needle will force people to be "present in the moment; they can't avoid their thoughts.
This helps people slow down and think about their pain and how to cope with it. Adamson, who has the "unbreakable" and "survivor" tattoos, agreed: In her case, she felt like therapy was not helpful. Instead, she focused on accepting the experience in her own way.

It can be difficult to find a therapist who specializes in sexual assault treatment, especially if you're looking for a female therapist. The women in her study felt stigmatized because they're survivors of sexual assault, and because of their body art. Some felt uncomfortable going to a traditional therapist because of those stigmas. That made some sexual assault survivors look for alternative healing methods -- like tattoo, writes Maxwell's study.
According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, on average, there arevictims of rape and sexual assault every year in the United States.

If they are a way for survivors to take back control and accept that what has happened is not their fault, they can be beneficial, she said. Barefoot said her "survivor" tattoo has helped her not feel shame.
Alongside therapy, her body art was one of the coping mechanisms. Barefoot was also motivated to get letts tattoo in order to start a conversation.
Barefoot explained that she was comfortable telling her story because "if just one victim sees this and is able to start their own healing process and gets help" then she knows that she has made "the right decision.

We need to see coping as a variety of tools in a toolbox. Another concern is that people might see tattooing as a distraction. Maxwell agrees that processing trauma through tattoos needs to happen in line with other therapy.

Nora Volkow, MD, presented at the Child Mind Institute's 2013 On the Shoulders of Giants Scientific Symposium.
The 2013 On the Shoulders of Giants Scientific Symposium honoring Nora Volkow, MD, took place on October 2, 2013, at The Roosevelt House at Hunter College.
Addiction is a disorder that involves complex interactions between genes, development and the social environment. Studies employing neuroimaging technology paired with behavioral measurements and, more recently, genetics, have led to remarkable progress in elucidating neurochemical and functional changes that occur in the brains of addicted subjects. Although large and rapid increases in dopamine have been linked with the rewarding properties of drugs, the addicted state, in striking contrast, is marked by significant decreases in brain dopamine D2 receptor mediated signaling. Such decreases are associated with dysfunction of prefrontal regions including orbitofrontal cortex, cingulate gyrus and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and impaired striato frontal connectivity. In addiction, disturbances in salience attribution result in enhanced value given to drugs and drug-related stimuli at the expense of other reinforces and promote inflexible behaviors. Dysfunction in inhibitory control systems, by decreasing the addict's ability to refrain from seeking and consuming drugs, ultimately results in the compulsive drug intake that characterizes the disease. Discovery of such disruptions in the fine balance that normally exists between brain circuits underling reward, motivation, memory and self-control have important implications for designing multi-pronged interventions for the prevention and treatment of addictive disorders.
Both drug addiction and obesity can be defined as disorders in which the saliency value of one type of reward (drugs and food, respectively) becomes abnormally enhanced relative to, and at the expense of, others. Both drugs and food have powerful reinforcing effects — partly mediated by dopamine increases in the limbic system — that, under certain circumstances or in vulnerable individuals, could overwhelm the brain's homeostatic control mechanisms. Such parallels have generated significant interest in understanding the shared vulnerabilities and trajectories of addiction and obesity. Our imaging findings, predominantly derived from positron emission tomography, uncover common features of these two disorders and delineate some of the overlapping brain circuits whose dysfunctions may explain stereotypic and related behavioral deficits in human subjects. These results suggest that both obese and drug-addicted individuals suffer from impairments in dopaminergic pathways that regulate neuronal systems associated not only with reward sensitivity and incentive motivation, but also with conditioning, impulse control, stress reactivity and interoceptive awareness.
Obesity is a complex disease state characterized by deficits in appetitive drive and metabolism. Similar deficits are observed in substance abusers. Among several neurobiological systems, dopamine and the striatal dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) are heavily implicated in substance abuse, and in 2001, Drs. Wang and Volkow reported that obese and normal-weight humans differed in striatal D2R. This finding was instrumental in substantiating the notion of neurobiological similarities between obesity and substance abuse disorders. My talk will expand on this initial finding by presenting molecular, behavioral and circuit-level evidence gained from recently developed preclinical imaging and gene technologies implicating striatal D2R in the direct regulation of appetitive drive and metabolism.
Dr. Volkow spent most of her professional career at the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, New York, where she held several leadership positions including director of Nuclear Medicine, chairman of the Medical Department and associate director for Life Sciences.
Michael Michaelides, PhD, completed his undergraduate studies in economics and mathematics at Stony Brook University in 2004. He then received an NIH Postbac Intramural Research Training Award, spending two years studying behavioral neuropharmacology and neuroimaging applications in drug abuse and addiction research in Dr. Nora Volkow's NIAAA Laboratory for Neuroimaging. Upon completion of this training, he was admitted to the Integrative Neuroscience Doctoral Program at Stony Brook University. The vast majority of Dr. Michaelides' doctoral work was performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory where he studied neural mechanisms implicated in addiction and obesity under the direction of Drs. John K. Robinson and Peter Thanos. During this time he also worked on the development of novel behavioral PET imaging methodologies in small animals. After receiving his PhD in 2010, he was admitted to the Postdoctoral Training Program in Drug Abuse at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he has been co-advised by Drs. Gene-Jack Wang and Yasmin Hurd. During this time, he has had the chance to extend his research knowledge to humans and has also received extensive training in molecular biology and epigenetics of drug abuse. Currently, Dr. Michaelides is a 4th year postdoctoral fellow at Mount Sinai, where he is combining his unique training in behavioral pharmacology and neuroimaging with cutting-edge molecular biology and epigenetic techniques to study the molecular and developmental basis of appetitive drive and mood and motivational disorders.
Gene-Jack Wang, MD, is a board certified nuclear medicine physician with a joint appointment as both a professor of radiology at Stony Brook University and a senior scientist at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). His research focuses on the application of positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to the study of various brain disorders. He is interested in using PET to study the neuro-psychiatric mechanisms and manifestations of alcoholism, drug addiction, obesity and eating disorders in humans and in animal models. Using PET, he reported similarity of brain circuits' disruption in drug addiction and obesity. Currently, he uses PET to study the relationship between peripheral metabolic signals and brain neurotransmitters and uses fMRI to study effect of diet control drugs on brain satiety circuit and to assess cognitive function in obese subjects. He has published over 250 peer-reviewed original papers and 50 review articles/book chapters on his imaging research. He has received the distinguished Asian American professional award from Suffolk County, New York, and the Science and Technology award from BNL.

28 S. Idlewild-Renovated Midtown Memphis Home-EZR Management
East Memphis and Midtown are lively cultural centers of the famous city. With galleries, parks, festivals, and historic homes, East Memphis and Midtown offers the very best of urban living.
Memphis' devote American history is representational of each of the truly amazing achievements of their citizens in addition to a difficult past. Once the middle of the "Mid-South," where cotton and slave trade ruled the marketplace, Memphis has lots of identities. The house of Memphis Blues, Elvis, and Beale Street, Indigenous Peoples first resided across the bluffs across the mighty Mississippi. Spanish, French, and "New Americans" came later. The town itself was "founded" by General and President Andrew Jackson, General James Winchester, and select John Overton. The town emerged within the first 1 / 2 of the 20th century and then grew to become the nadir from the civil legal rights movement using the murder of Martin Luther King Junior. Now, Memphis is really a thriving metropolis of near to 650,000, the biggest city within the condition.
East Memphis and Midtown are generally hip towns with several galleries, museums, great restaurants (world-famous Corky's Bbq), and much more. Overton Square has an array of shops, restaurants, and playhouses (TennesseeWilliams authored his first openly performed play while remaining in Midtown). Some famous spots listed here are Alex's Tavern, Bosco's, Huey's, Side Street Bar & Grill, and much more. "Little Hanoi" is a well-liked portion of Cleveland Avenue. Cooper Youthful Historic District is renowned for its boutiques, music, and annual festival. Youthful Avenue Deli, Goner Records, First Church from the Elvis Impersonator, Café Olé, Celtic Crossing attract visitors. The Oak Court Mall on Common is really a shopping mainstay. There's also Laurelwood Shopping Mall, an outside mall with brand-name stores and restaurants. Midtown is regarded as the "real" Memphis, unlike the touristy Beale Street. Ubiquitous bumper stickers using the local zipcode, 38104, signal Midtown's pride.
East Memphis and Midtown have some of parks and recreational possibilities. The Shelby Farms Greenline Trail is made upon your bed of the former railroad line, which runs for pretty much 7 miles between Tillman Street in Binghampton (east of Memphis), crossing Wolf River, and Farm Road in Shelby Farms Park. Overton Park includes the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Memphis College of Art, and also the Memphis Zoo, that is rated in the top five in the united states. The Pink Palace Museum and also the Children's Museum of Memphis are generally educational and fun for kids. Elegance-St. Luke's Tiffany home windows are regarded as the biggest collection inside a parish church. The Cooper-Youthful Festival boasts artists, flea market vendors, three stages of music, and much more. Other festivals include Memphis in May and Beale Street Music Festival. The Nation's Civil Legal rights Museum and Graceland are two city's most widely used attractions.
East Memphis and Midtown property is very eclectic. A few of the area's largest homes have been in East Memphis, such as the desirable Walnut Grove area. Property on Highland Street includes high-rise, low-earnings residential structures. Outdoors the I-240 loop would be the residential around Quince Road, Kirby Parkway, and also the exclusive River Oaks subdivision.
Shelby County Schools serve the city. The general public schools in this region include Snowden Elementary, Bellevue Junior.

Hi, Katie. I am a CNM in California. I just would like to open a dialogue. I believe your story is a prime example of the problems in the US stemming from the division between the many midwifery educational tracts. Please contact me.
I just finished your book. I am torn between feeling so angry at your treatment and feeling so amazed at your strength in getting through this. I seriously could not put the book down until I finished.

IIO Concludes Investigation into Surrey Incident (2020-172)
Case: 2020-172 Incident Date: July 16, 2020 Agency: RCMP Location: Surrey Detachment: Surrey Incident Classification: Death Case Status: Closed - Without Public Report
Surrey, B.C. – The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of B.C. is concluding an investigation into an incident in Surrey.
As detailed in our initial release, on July 16, 2020 at approximately 6:20 p.m., an officer observed a man entering a construction site in the 9800-block of Whalley Boulevard. The officer called out for the man to stop, but the man continued onto the site and climbed to the top of a construction crane.
Crisis negotiators attempted to engage the man in conversation over several hours in hopes of persuading him to safely descend. At approximately 10:15 p.m., the man jumped from the crane. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The IIO's Chief Civilian Director (CCD) has reviewed the evidence – including statements from independent witnesses, video and audio sources – which showed that all efforts were made to convince the man to return to safety, including officers climbing the crane at their own risk in hopes of helping him down.
The CCD has therefore determined that the tragic death of the man was not the result of police action or inaction, and the investigation has been concluded.
The IIO is the independent civilian oversight agency of the police in British Columbia. It investigates all officer-related incidents that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing.

Best description I ever heard of our manifesto: "The Fountainhead re-written by Jeremy Clarkson." Thanks to Charles Holland, the director of FAT, for that. I couldn't have thought of a better way of putting it myself. Second prize goes to Justin McGuirk in the Architects' Journal, who described ManTowNHuman as the "anti-sustainability manifesto". No link for that, you'll have to buy your own copy of the AJ for the pleasure.
Holland meant it as a critique, of course, but it's still a brilliant line. Back in October, I spoke on a panel with Holland's colleague from FAT, Sean Griffiths and I actually thought he was quite good as a speaker and he stood up for the freedom of architects. Admittedly, their stuff is a bit flippant, but those aren't heroic times. Perhaps the recession will sort that out, someone will realize that we will need genuine development and big ideas instead of messing around the edges.
Holland got everything else about us wrong. I don't think I've ever been called a conservative before, but there's a first time for everything. His grasp of politics is very shallow, but you can't expect nice white middle class boys to be Renaissance Men, that would be too old fashioned. Still, thank for the quote, Charlie Boy.

How is God creator and redeemer?
Isn't the role of redeemer filled by Christ?
God created man with freewill. Adam could choose to obey or disobey. Adam was given one commandment to keep; the penalty for disobedience was death.
Genesis 2:16... the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 2:17... unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life... 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil changed Adam's physiology and this change was passed genetically to his progeny. All Adam's progeny disobey God. Disobedience to God is called 'sin' and the penalty for each and every sin is death.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Man cannot save himself; therefore in order to be saved from death he must be redeemed by another. God in his mercy has provided a way of redemption through his son Jesus Christ. God conceived a son in the womb of Mary.
Luke 1:35... the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Jesus was born with our nature subject to all the temptations that we experience. The difference was that he did not sin.
Hebrews 4:15... (he) was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Further he sacrificed his life for all who would believe and obey his gospel.
To be redeemed we must understand and believe the gospel, repent of our sinful way of life, be baptised by immersion in water into Christ for the remission of all past sins, and live a new life by the commandments of Christ.
If we do this God will raise us from the dead and give us eternal life in his kingdom which Jesus will establish when he returns to the earth.
God is the redeemer because he has provided a way of redemption from sin and death through his son Jesus Christ.

Faces Of Monmouth
Shannen Wilson
View more Profiles: All | Alumni | Psychology | Honors School
Meet Shannen
Shannen Wilson '14 arrived on Monmouth University's campus with a laser-focus on her childhood dream of someday attending dental school.
"One of my parents' favorite stories is about when I would put white socks on my hands as gloves and pretend I was their dentist," Shannen said. "Then when I was sixteen I started working at an office near my house and fell in love with the idea of seeing new people and learning new things every day."
However, upon meeting that goal after four years, she also finds herself a leader, a mentor, and a world traveler - and in doing so, she has left an indelible mark on the Monmouth community.
Shannen is ready to start classes at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine because, while receiving her bachelor's degree in psychology, she harnessed the expertise of Monmouth's undergraduate advisors to chart an education that would both prepare her for professional school and expose her to the world. She took advantage of Monmouth's small classes, ample opportunities for community service, and an internship that honed her skills.
Hewitt, NJ
Faculty Member Influence
While Shannen says many faculty members influenced her during her time at Monmouth, she credits the advice given to her by her faculty advisors with keeping her on a course for academic success.
"As a first-year student, Dr. Dorothy Lobo in the biology department took me under her wing, and although I never had her as a professor, she always went above and beyond to advise me in my pursuit of applying to dental school," Shannen says. "The psychology department has been a huge part in my success at Monmouth. Drs. Lisa Dinella, Gary Lewandowksi, Natalie Ciarocco, Jamie Goodwin, Michele Van Volkhom, and Christine Hatchard have been huge supporters of my goal.
"As a psychology student with ambitions to go to dental school, I definitely had my work cut out for me at Monmouth. As a first-year student, I relied heavily on my academic advisor to guide me in scheduling classes that would allow me to finish my psychology degree, graduate with honors, and meet all the requirements for dental school in just four years."
Shannen also made strong connections with staff members while on campus.
"Although not faculty members, Susan Bennett in Student Life and Corey Inzana in Residential Life have both taught me countless life lessons about how to be confident, grateful, and generous in life."
Organizations that helped me as a student
"I wanted to get involved in many things as soon as I got to Monmouth," Shannen says. "I joined the First Year Service Project my first week on campus and stayed with the group my entire time. It is a group that focuses on fighting hunger and homelessness in our local area. I was able to find others that were passionate about helping others through this group, and we became lifelong friends. I was involved with many other groups on campus as well, including New Student Orientation as an orientation leader and as a logistics coordinator.
"I worked as a peer learning assistant in a First Year Seminar course for three years. This allowed me to be a liaison between first-year students and a professor throughout each semester. Being involved with the honors mentoring program — first as a mentee, then as a mentor, and finally as a student coordinator — allowed me to appreciate all levels of the program and to connect with the Honors School community.
"In my senior year, I was given the opportunity to start a new group called the Monmouth University Street Team (MUST), which was committed to bringing free events to campus to spread positivity and encourage students to think about big ideas."
Collaborations that I've been involved with
Shannen says she used research opportunities in both Monmouth's psychology and honors programs to bolster her credentials for dental school. Her topic was to study patients with dental anxiety.
"The psychology department did a terrific job with the research sequence of classes leading to my thesis, so when it came to developing my own project idea I felt comfortable with my abilities in researching and finding an answer to my own question.
"As an honors student I was required to complete an additional thesis in my senior year. I surveyed patients in a dental office waiting room about their dental anxiety and then had the dentist report on what he perceived the patients' dental anxiety to be to see how congruent the two reports were.
"I was privileged to work with Dr. Lisa Dinella from the psychology department on this year-long project. Under her guidance and with the support of the Honors School, I was able to be creative and ambitious and conduct data collection in a local dental office. Being able to conduct a study and present my findings at both the psychology and honors research conferences was a wonderful accomplishment. I grew as a student and researcher throughout both experiences."
Why I'm proud of Monmouth
"I believe that while the people here have helped me grow in the past four years, I have seen the University grow as well. As a student worker who has been very involved in organizations concerning first-year students, I am awed by the message that 'Monmouth Hawks Fly Together.'
"From my first day at orientation as a new student I felt connected to Monmouth. All new students are promised grandeur - support, community, and a "home-feel" while at Monmouth - and I am so thankful to say that four years later, all those promises were kept."
My favorite Monmouth memory
"Traveling to Guatemala and Haiti on Alternative Spring Break and Alternative Winter Break.
"As a sophomore, I was excited and nervous to travel with twenty of my peers and three advisors to work on a construction team building a classroom in Guatemala. After seeing that beautiful country, and meeting and helping those less fortunate, it was a "no-brainer" to apply to go on a similar trip the next year."

Avocados From Mexico is now working with EnergyBBDO, which won the creative account earlier this year. The brand worked with GSD&M on its prior four Super Bowl spots and Arnold on other projects.
Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day for avocado consumption in America, according to Avocados From Mexico. In the four weeks leading up to the big game, the brand imports about 200 million pounds of avocados into the United States, says Alvaro Luque, president, Avocados From Mexico.
"It's a nice combination of sales and brand building," Luque says of running a Super Bowl campaign.
Some might say the brand doesn't need to advertise during the game each year since plenty of people are already chomping on chips and guac. And while people may have tired of seeing avocado toast on restaurant menus and filling up their Instagram feeds, there's no denying people are eating more avocados. In the last seven years, Avocados From Mexico has tripled the amount of fruit it brings into the U.S., Luque says. The strategy, which in previous years has involved teasing the Super Bowl ad in advance of the game, is not solely about getting people to stock up for the Bowl; the brand also wants to keep avocados top of mind well into the winter.
With its prior Super Bowl spots, Avocados From Mexico advertised the fruit's year-round availability (2015's "First Draft Ever" and 2017's "Avocados In Space"), good fat (2016's "Secret Society"), and versatility (2018's "Guacworld").
The upcoming campaign is meant to roll those ideas together with the "always worth it" message.
Avocados From Mexico hasn't started shooting its Super Bowl spot but already tested five options from EnergyBBDO with consumers, which Luque says all scored as high as the brand's past Super Bowl spots. Whichever it picks, there are plans to have another celebrity appear, following Doug Flutie and Jerry Rice in 2015, Scott Baio in 2016, Jon Lovitz in 2017 and Chris Elliott in 2018. The brand declined to reveal who will appear in the upcoming ad.
"We see ourselves as a fun brand and we want to be true to that," says Luque.
Avocados From Mexico is also doing a shopper marketing program with AB InBev's Ritas flavored malt beverages and Tabasco sauce that includes joint merchandising displays, savings offers among the partner brands, as well as digital and social media ads.

Q: Acceleration as the second derivative of $e^{-\frac{1}{t^2}}$ If we have, say, a material point with a zero velocity at the time $t=0$, and this point starts moving at a time $t>0$ , then we look at the force impressed on the point by inspecting the second derivative of the motion of the point. If our point follows a motion law of $e^{-\frac{1}{t^2}}$, then we have that all derivatives at $t=0$ are $0$. So my question is, why doesn't this go against Newton's second law? To me it is like there is a correspondence between successive derivatives and the force impressed.

A: I have edited your question by changing $x$ to $t$, because you referred to your formula as the "motion law". If instead you meant the potential depending on $x$, it would lead to the same outcome anyway.
Your law of motion essentially implies an equilibrium at zero, because the force generated by a deviation from zero is astronomically small, smaller than quantum effects. In reality, for the point to start moving, the equilibrium must be broken. Normally this means that a deviation from zero generates an increasing force and the point follows this force with an increasing acceleration.
However, in your case, a deviation from zero does not generate an increasing force of a meaningful magnitude. For all practical reasons, the force remains a practical zero and therefore the point will not start moving.
So the catch in your question is in the formulation that the point will start moving according to the law you have prescribed. However, there is a difference between mathematical formulas and the real world. To move according to your formula, there must be a tangible reason for the point to do so, such as a force capable of moving this material point. If there is no such a force present, the point would have no reason to follow the law of motion you have artificially prescribed to it.
The bottom line here is that there is no contradiction with the Newton's second law. This law states that acceleration is proportional to force. In other words, if you apply a force to your point, it would indeed get moving. In your case, you are not applying any force. The numbers your formula generates are less than the influence of the moons of Jupiter.
Stating this differently, there is no real world scenario, in which a material point would follow this hypothetical law of motion, because it is not realistic. However, if you want to consider a purely hypothetical thought experiment, then sure, first, the initial equilibrium must be broken by a spontaneous symmetry breakdown and then the point would feel a vanishingly small, but non-zero force, and would indeed follow your equation. The only clarification is that this may not happen exactly at the time zero, because the moment of the initial symmetry breakdown is random, unless you give the point a slight push in a certain direction.

Peer-Mentoring Communities of Practice for BC Educators: Opportunities for Reflection, Connection, and Belonging
Dr. Laura K. Doan & Elizabeth Boileau
As many as 50% of beginning early childhood educators leave the field within the first five years of work in BC, a startling statistic. The Peer Mentoring Program for Early Childhood Educators in BC was initially developed to help support both beginning and more experienced educators in BC. In this workshop, you will learn about the Peer-Mentoring Program for Early Childhood Educators in BC, from the initial phase in 2019, to looking ahead at long term goals. As one educator shared, "The Peer-Mentoring [Project] gave us a space and an intention, a structure to come together and share our individual journeys and our different journeys". We will also share where the program is at today and show preliminary research findings looking at the impact of the pandemic on educators in BC and how peer-mentoring could help sustain them through a challenging time. Ideas for starting up a peer-mentoring program in your community will be shared.
Feels Like Home: Creating an Environment that Children Feel Like They are Coming Home To
Kristen RB Peterson
Kristen RB Peterson presents from Minnesota, USA on Feels Like Home: Creating an Environment that Children Feel Like They are Coming Home To.
Children spend large amounts of time in your classroom environment – sometimes more than at home! When the children show up at your door in the morning, it should feel like coming home. In this workshop, Kristen will inspire caregivers and teachers to shift their view about their traditional roles, and lean into a more gentle and joyful approach to facilitating learning. The classroom environment is often seen as the third teacher and Kristen will give caregivers tangible ideas to curate an environment that is conducive to inquiry while also providing a home-like atmosphere.
Kristen is the founding director of a magical place called Butterfly Hill Nature Preschool. In her quest to create a place full of play, learning, nature, emotions, and yes moments, Kristen discovered that play based learning is a MUST for all early childhood environments and is an advocate for play in early childhood.
Supporting Child and Family Wellness
Ana Valle Rivera
We can't always know what adversity children and families have faced in the past or currently face in their daily lives. In this workshop, participants will be asked to think about a diversity of family dynamics, for example, newcomer, immigrant, refugee families and families who have experienced trauma, to think about how we support each of these families best. In this workshop, Ana shares experiences and anecdotes to support educators with understanding what trauma-informed care looks like in action as a caregiver. Throughout the workshop, participants will be asked to think with a pedagogy of humility to better support the children and families they work with.
Ana began working in the childcare field in 2007 and knew right away it was her life's purpose. Ana is a parent, a children's book author, and the founder of Early Years Workshops & Training. Ana has many aspirations but her current focus is to inspire positive change in the early year's field through sharing a vision of social wellness and social justice for all.

Therefore, the Forum Fairer Handel (Naturland beeing one of its eight members) and TransFair welcome the initiative of Federal Minister Dr. Gerd Müller to exempt fair coffee from the coffee tax. The idea of promoting fair coffee consumption through tax incentives is not new. However, it gained political relevance in early April 2018 through an initiative by German Development Minister Gerd Müller.
On June 26th, Forum Fairer Handel and TransFair e.V. held a panel discussion on the opportunities and challenges of an exemption of the coffee tax on fair trade coffee. How its implementation could be achieved, was discussed by Prof. Dr. Bachmann (Council for Sustainable Development), Albert Darboven (J. J. Darboven GmbH & Co. KG), Johannes Grün (Brot für die Welt) with the organizers in the Embassy of the Republic of Colombia.
Prof. Dr. Bachmann of the German Council for Sustainable Development stated: "Taxing fair trade coffee does not support the aspirations of the global sustainability goals and sustainable consumption in the industrialized countries". Regarding the implementation of a tax relief for fair trade coffee, the organizers have formulated concrete demands. The aim is to only exempt companies that commit themselves to maintaining high social standards, such as the payment of defined fair prices, prefinancing and external auditing.
