"What Can Novels Do? The Significance of Reading Arabic Novels in Japan during Times of Deaths"
By Mari Oka
Prof. Mari Oka, one of leading Japanese scholars in the field of modern Arabic literature, teaches at Kyoto University. Her publication includes Arab: Literature as Prayers (2008), In the Shadow of Palm Trees: The Third World Feminism and the Strength of the Literature (2006), both in Japanese, and translation of Ghassan Kanafani's works such as Returning to Haifa.
"What can literature do when hundreds of thousand children are starving to death in Africa?" is the famous question raised by Jean-Paul Sartre in 1960′s. He said that "Nausea" is powerless in front of those starving children. The same old question has been lingering in me since the second Intifada broke out. What can we do through novels when the Palestinians are being killed every day just as if their lives have no significance as human beings? Is there any meaning in reading Arabic novels in Japan when the very people in the Arab world are being killed? What is the meaning of being a translator of Arabic literature when death and violence rule these people's lives? To go further, why do we write and read novels in the first place? For what purpose and for whom? I have been struggling with those questions for these past eight years while reading Arabic novels and have finally found the answer. Now, I can say reading novels is equivalent to living others' lives as our own experiences. Through reading novels, strange lands and unfamiliar people soon become part of our own intimate world. Reading novels changes our relationship with the world, which might be a small but significant step to changing the world itself. By introducing the trend of modern Arabic literature studies in Japan since 1970s, I will explore the possibility of establishing communality which Arab and Japanese readers may share by reading Arabic novels during times of death.
By Mohammed Oudaimah
Dr. Mohammed Oudaimah, Arab poet and translater living in Japan, teaches Arabic and Arabic Literature at several universities including The University of Tokyo. His voluminous publications include What Occuurred in Cinema (1993, poets), The Kojiki: The Record of Ancient Events (1999, translation), and A Handful of Sand: Selected Poets of Takuboku Ishikawa (2007, translation) (all in Arabic).
This lecture aims to approach Japanese beliefs based on what is written in the book Kojiki (The Record of Ancient Events), which contains the creation history of Japan (or the Universe) and the resultant events. This story is similar to that of Lucifer and Adam with God in monotheist religions. In this story different deities order two gods, a male and a female, to get married in order to give birth to the Japanese islands (while the deities watch). The wife passed away because of the numerous births and went to the underworld where the spirits reside. However, after a while, her husband missed her and followed her, asking her to come back to give birth to the other children. But she couldn't. According to the story, the husband returned and purified himself in the river water to get rid of the traces of the underworld. His acts led to the birth of three gods: The goddess Amaterasu (the sun) was born when he washed his left eye, then the god of the Moon was born when he washed his right eye, and the god Susanoo(Hayasusano) was born when he washed his nose. Afterwards, he gave them their role in the governing the world: Heaven went to Amaterasu, night to the moon, and the sea to Susanoo. Each began to work except Susanoo who continued to cry because he missed his mother. His father became angry and banished him. But before departing, he wanted to say goodbye to his sister at her home. Amaterasu had doubts about her brother's intention so he proposed a test that would reveal his intentions and considered himself the winner. He wanted to make this victory last forever, so he spread corruption throughout his sister's home. Amaterasu got scared and retired to a grotto in heaven and thus the Universe went dark. Millions of gods got her out of her shelter (signaling the return of light) and decided to punish Susanoo and exile him to Izumo, which is earth.
Would it be possible to draw a comparison between Susanoo's character in this story and Lucifer who refused to fulfill God's order and was banished by him, or with Adam who did wrong when he forgot God's orders? This lecture tries to answer this question partially.

"Political and Economic Relations between the Middle East and Japan: Perspectives from the Past to the Future"
Friday, November 21, 2008. 18:00- 20:15
Lecture 1: Prof. Hiroshi Kato
"The Middle East within Asia: A Note on the Middle East in the Context of Asia from a Historical Perspective"
Lecture 2: Prof. Michael Penn
"The Role of Democratization in Contemporary Japan-Arab Relations"
By Hiroshi Kato
Prof. Hiroshi Kato a prominent Japanese scholar of the modern Egyptian history, teaches economic history of the Middle East at Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo. His publication includes "A Historical Study of the Market Society-Reflected in the Waqf System in Muslim Societies," Annals of Japan Association for Middle East Studies (2004); "Migration, Regional Diversity, and Residential Development on the Edge of Greater Cairo,"GIS-Based Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences (2005); and "Rashda: A Village in Dakhla Oasis," Mediterranean World (2008).
This lecture will deal with the politico-economic relationship between the Middle East and Asia (especially East Asia) in the 21st century, by reviewing its history and by introducing several Japanese academics' opinions on this subject. The main points of discussion will be
(1) The Middle East: a region that disappeared from the narrative of modern economic history,
(2) The Middle East in the context of modern Asian economic history, and
(3) The Middle East within Asia in the 21st century.
The lecturer agrees to an opinion of a Japanese economic historian, Professor Kaoru Sugihara, to the effect that one of the most important questions that East Asia will face in this century is how to maintain "the oil triangle" in the global economy. "The oil triangle" means the world-scale settlement pattern of international trade between East Asia, the Middle East and the West (US and EU) since the 1970s. "The oil triangle" could be the foundation of the world economic order in the 21st century, although its theory should be partially modified by the challenges from the countries such as Russia, India, and Brazil that have been developed in recent years.
By Michael Penn
Prof. Michael Penn teaches at the University of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan, and is Executive Director of Shingetsu Institute for the Study of Japanese-Islamic Relations, an open research institute that examines Japan's connections with the Islamic world from a variety of perspectives. He has published more than twenty articles including "Islam in Japan: Adversity and Diversity" in Harvard Asia Quarterly (2006) and "East Meets East: An Ottoman Mission in Meiji Japan" in Princeton Papers (2007). He is currently preparing his first full length book for publication on the topic of Japan and the War on Terrorism.
This lecture will review the role of "democratization" in Japanese foreign policy under the Koizumi, Abe, and Fukuda administrations (2001-2008). First, the political character of the three prime ministers' policies will be contrasted. During the period of Shinzo Abe's premiership, the notion of democratization began to play a significant role under the "Arc of Freedom and Prosperity" initiative led by Foreign Minister Taro Aso. However, the current Japanese leader, Yasuo Fukuda, is not a believer in integrating the goal of democratization into Japanese foreign policy; instead, he prefers to put emphasis on political stability and the cultivation of good relations with regimes of all character. While the US-Japan alliance has remained the fundamental basis of Japanese policy toward the Arab nations in recent years, there have been notable shifts in the diplomatic language that has accompanied Japanese foreign policy statements. This has had a certain degree of impact on Japanese policy toward Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine, in particular. On the other hand, Japanese relations with Egypt and the six nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council do not seem to have been affected in any way by these subtle shifts in diplomatic emphasis.
Lecture meeting 2008:Another Attempt at Solving the Cyprus Imbroglio. Mission Possible or Impossible?
"Muslims and Islamic Studies in Japan "
Wednesday, October 15, 2008. 18:00-20:00
Japan Center for Middle Eastern Studies(JaCMES), 2nd Floor, A2-1, Azariyeh Bldg,
Beirut Central District
01-553604 (Umam Documentation & Research)
The meeting is open to the public
The lecture outlined the historical background to the Cyprus question as an issue of implementation of the principle of self-determination enshrined in the Atlantic Charter (1941) as well as in the UN Charter (1945). The Cypriot demand for self-determination was in the 1940s equivalent to enosis, the union of the island with Greece ? especially as this was implicitly promised to the Cypriots by Winston Churchill. As the Nazi Germans occupied Greece in 1941, the wartime British PM urged on the islanders to voluntarily join the British forces in order to "fight for freedom, fight for Greece". The Greek Cypriots responded joining the war efforts in their thousands; only to be betrayed as the defeat of Nazism did not bring the promised enosis but a continuation of the colonial rule. Moreover in 1954, the British started building up two powerful military bases on the southern coast of the island, which were reinforced after the Suez debacle a couple of years later.
Their withdrawal from the UN mandate for Palestine (1948) coupled with the evacuation of their forces from Suez forced the British to transfer their Middle East Military Headquarters to Cyprus. The strategic importance of the island as a staging post for operations in the region grew exponentially. The building of the RAF Akrotiri airbase turned the island into an unsinkable aircraft carrier, firmly anchored in the Eastern Mediterranean. Greece, ravaged by ten years of war (1940-49), was too weak to be entrusted such an important base. Hence the 1960 Treaties between the UK, Turkey and Greece produced a Republic of Cyprus which bore more affinity to a protectorate than to a sovereign state.
The lecturer drew attention to the large presence (40,000-43,000) of Turkish troops with the state of the art weaponry occupying the northern third of the island since 1974. He explained that despite the positive climate created by the current Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders the two sides remain apart as regards the perception of the nature of the searched for new settlement. Whereas the Greek Cypriot side perceives it as a transformation of the RoC from a unitary to a federal state without guarantor powers, the Turkish Cypriot side insists that the basis of the talks is that two states, the RoC and the self-styled TRNC are negotiating to form a new state. Moreover the TC side is unwilling to accept European as opposed to Turkish guarantees and military presence.
Last but not least, Dr Leventis placed emphasis on the role of the island regarding crisis management, humanitarian aid and peace-keeping operations to Lebanon. Since 1 May 2004, the island republic has been the EU's outpost in the Middle East. The RoC is the southeastern-most EU member state ? lying only 240 kms away from Beirut. Tellingly, in the crisis of summer 2006, tens of thousands of Lebanese citizens were evacuated via Cyprus. The Lefkosia government has placed the airport of Larnaca, the naval port of Lemesos, as well as the Andreas Papandreou airbase in Pafos at the disposal of the ongoing UNIFIL operation. In this connection, Turkey's high-profile role in providing substantial manpower and military hardware for UNIFIL was also noted. Turkey sought unsuccessfully to assume the naval command of the UNIFIL operation in the sea between Cyprus and Lebanon. Turkey's bid for UNIFIL's command raised eyebrows in the RoC in view of the continuing Turkish occupation of the northern part of its territory.
Thus a settlement of the Cyprus question which would include a phased withdrawal of the huge Turkish occupation force would enhance stability in the region.
Furthermore, in his concluding remarks, Prof. Leventis pointed out the glaring need for a comprehensive security system that will serve the best interests of all the peoples in the Eastern Mediterranean basin.

Man's death an accident
A pensioner who fell under a bus died seven months later at a Newcastle nursing home.
James Land collapsed in front of the bus which was leaving the bus stop in Newcastle city centre.
He suffered a fractured skull and ribs and was in intensive care in hospital.
But the 84-year-old's injuries caused him brain damage and to suffer other health problems.
As a result of this he needed to have a urinal catheter fitted. It was seven months later that Mr Land, of Hillfield Nursing Home, Newcastle, suffered a urine infection which led to septicaemia and he died.
At a Newcastle inquest coroner, David Mitford, said he could not separate the road traffic accident which led to the sequence of events which caused Mr Land's death.
He recorded a verdict of accidental death.

The path to your life's work is difficult and risky, even scary, which is why few finish the journey. This is a book about discovering your life's work, that treasure of immeasurable worth we all long for. It's about the task you were born to do. As Jeff Goins explains, the search begins with passion but does not end there. Only when our interests connect with the needs of the world do we begin living for a larger purpose. Those who experience this intersection experience something exceptional and enviable. Though it is rare, such a life is attainable by anyone brave enough to try. Through personal experience, compelling case studies, and current research on the mysteries of motivation and talent, Jeff shows readers how to find their vocation and what to expect along the way.
Even though Jeff specifically said that this wasn't a 'guru book,' I think I still expected it to be. Jeff has always written in an affirming nature: 'everyone has a story to tell,' and Art of Work is no different. It focuses on figuring out the path to discover your calling, interspersed with stories of people finding their calling. I'm enjoying it thus far.
I firmly believe that if someone hasn't found their calling, this may be just the book to give them the proverbial "kick in the pants'." So, if you're looking for a 'guru' or 'how-to' book, you should look elsewhere. If you want an inspirational book about discovering your path, then Art of Work is for you.
Originally from Chicago, Jeff moved to Nashville after graduating from college and spending a year traveling with CTI Music Ministries. In college, he studied Spanish and Religion. He spent part of his Junior year in Spain, which unlocked a passion for missions, travel, and other cultures. After a long year of letter-writing and long-distance phone calls, Jeff moved to Tennessee to "see about a girl." In 2008, he married her. Jeff lives with his wife Ashley and their dog Lyric and has been working from home for a nonprofit called Adventures in Missions since 2006. He has written and guest-blogged for a number of publications and blogs. Jeff also helps organizations with their marketing, communications, and creativity.

So here we are, the night before school. Well, for the teachers of Nova Scotia anyway (I know that many of my American colleagues are already back at school). As I sit here and think about what the year will bring, my mind drifts back to a conversation I had the other day.
It was around some work being done at my house, we were having our kitchen cabinets refinished and the process was anything but smooth. Long story short we ran into a contractor that we will not be using again! I had reached out on social media about the contractor and was contacted by a few people who had had the same issues.
At the end of one of these conversations the person said "thanks for being a teacher". It was timely as we are preparing for heading back to school and meaningful because so few people thank me for being a teacher.
I have been thanked for being a particular child's teacher or thanked for leading an inservice but never for being a teacher. It really meant a lot to me. So I wanted to take a minute and thank all the teachers out there.
I want to thank you for being teachers, for taking on a difficult, important, and often overlooked career. Thank you for the hours of time you put in during your summer, for the sleepless nights worrying about students, and for the dedication to the Teaching Life.
Have a great start to the year, and again, thank you for being a teacher!

2006 Civic Engine: I-VTEC
· Acorns!
2006 Honda Civic 1.8L Engine Information
By American Honda Motor Company
Jul 5, 2005, 20:16
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., has announced it will introduce a new 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine this fall in the upcoming 2006 Civic designed to achieve both more powerful performance and enhanced fuel economy. The engine employs an "intelligent" i-VTEC system that switches the valve timing for maximum efficiency during takeoff and acceleration to achieve powerful performance with excellent torque output, and then delays intake valve closure timing during cruising and other low-load conditions for enhanced fuel economy. Use of the valve timing control system results in off-the-line acceleration performance at low rpm equivalent to that of a 2.0-liter engine, and efficiency that is up to 6 percent better than the current 1.7-liter Civic engine, making it one of the world's most efficient 1.8-liter engine designs. During cruising, the new engine achieves particularly high fuel economy, on a par with that of a 1.5-liter engine.
With the new i-VTEC engine, intake valve closure timing is delayed to control the air intake volume, allowing the throttle to open wider under low-load conditions for a major reduction in pumping loss of up to 16 percent.
Under low-load conditions on a conventional engine by comparison, the throttle opening is small to control the intake volume of the air-fuel mixture. During this time, pumping losses are incurred due to increased intake resistance through the small throttle valve opening, a significant factor that leads to reduced engine efficiency. The new i-VTEC engine minimizes this pumping loss effect to increase efficiency.
Combined with comprehensive friction-reducing measures, the delayed intake valve closing results in a significant increase in fuel efficiency for the engine itself. A DBW (Drive By Wire) throttle control system provides precise control over the throttle valve while the valve timing is being changed, ensuring smooth driving performance. Other innovations include a variable-length intake manifold that delivers optimum inertia effect to further improve intake efficiency for powerful torque delivery at rpm ranges typical in normal driving. Piston oil jets reduce piston operating temperatures, which help suppress the possibility for engine knock in an engine with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
Overall, the new engine delivers a high level of performance with maximum output of 140 horsepower and maximum torque2 of 128 lb-ft. It also delivers enhanced emissions performance by employing a 2-bed catalytic converter positioned immediately after the manifold and high-precision air-fuel ratio control to achieve ULEV-2 / Tier 2 Bin 5 emission levels in all 50 states.
The more powerful engine is both lighter and shorter than the current Civic 1.7-liter engine, and quieter as well. The engine's lower block construction results in a highly rigid design. Innovations that help make the engine more compact and lightweight include aluminum rocker arms, high-strength cracked connecting rods, and a narrow, silent cam chain.

We are a family owned small business located in Tempe, AZ since 1969, and founded by longtime resident Udell Busch. She was soon joined by her husband Ed, and together they worked the store until their retirement in 1995. Originally located in downtown Tempe at 707 S. Myrtle, the "Den" was one of the first trophy shops in the East Valley. Ed and Udell were active in the Tempe community and avid fans of Arizona State University.
The store remained open in the iconic red building on Myrtle until 2006 when the changing landscape of downtown Tempe prompted a move to it's current location at 202 W. Southern Ave., in the Red Devil Center. In 2012, the Busch couple's son, John, brought the business back into the Busch family. John brings with him his experience from 28 years as a teacher and coach in the Tempe Union High School District.
We take great pride in providing the highest quality workmanship and personalized attention to each customer's custom awards order, whether it's for a casual project or a prestigious event.

China President Xi speech is finished. Spoke for a long time, didn't say much.
There wasn't much of substance, maybe it was unwise to expect that.
But, nevertheless, there were expectations his speech would be more positive on the issue of the day, on trade with the US. The murmurings we have had since the meeting have been, on balance, encouraging.
Might be construed as belligerent (could be intended to show a domestic audience how tough he is though, I am not reading too much into this bit).
Whatever …. regional stocks have dipped a little here since the beginning of the speech, after early strength. Overnight US equity futures trade lost some of their earlier gains. AUD a touch lower also. Yeah, it appears markets were expecting a little more.
NZD defying the dip, sitting close to session highs.

Sustaining Time
What are the key issues when researching time and sustainable economies?
This project tackles not one, but two amazingly complex issues - time and economies - and so as part of setting up the project I've had meetings with each of the advisers and project partners to get a better idea of the kinds of issues they think it would be important for the project to address. It's been fascinating talking to everybody one-on-one and to start unpacking how we might go about researching the question of time and sustainable economies.
A range of themes came up in our discussions, but the most prominent was around the relationship between time, money and value. Arguably one of the key moves made by capitalist economies has been to turn the time of our lives into abstract units of time that can then be sold in exchange for money. One effect of this is that time not spent earning money is devalued. A quick look at the nef report 21 Hours: Why a shorter working week can help us all to flourish in the 21st century reveals a wide variety of examples of this, including a critique of the failure to value care work (which is often unpaid or low paid) adequately.
The Grey Gentlemen from Michael Ende's "Momo", as a grafitti on a wall in Trier. (Sebastian Nebel CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)
So in thinking about what kinds of case studies we want to develop, one key area will be exploring how people are unpicking the relationship between time, value and money and reknitting it in different kinds of ways. People practising voluntary simplicity, for example, will probably have lots of insights into this since the emphasis there is on reducing your need for money as part of valuing time more. Craftspeople, artists and those engaged in self-provisioning work (food-growing and preserving for example) also regularly confront the mismatch between the value and quality of their work, their experience of time and the kinds of monetary returns they can expect. What kinds of practices have people developed to decommodify their labour and to experience their time as intrinsically valuable?
Another issue that came up turns our original question on its head. So rather than asking what kind of times are the new economics creating, people were also interested in what kind of time is needed to even engage in trying to do economies differently. There can be a tendency to assume that everyone can be involved in this, but the same kinds of opportunities aren't available to all. Time poverty and low incomes restrict how people can get involved. So we're also interested in how the 'opportune moment' opens up for people to take the leap into doing things differently. When does this happen? At what stage in people's lives? And with what support systems in place? Importantly how do people negotiate the kinds of compromises they might be required to make in order to open up time for change, or to keep the new project moving along?
More specific issues related to an interest in whether the frameworks already in place around the co-operative and permaculture movements might have anything in particular to tell us about sustainable times. Chris Warburton-Brown, for example, suggested that if time is a resource, and permaculture is about designing more sustainable resource-use, then perhaps those practising it will already have important insights that the project can learn from. He also suggested it would be interesting to explore what kinds of time have already been assumed by the philosophical basis of permaculture.
Issues to do with the role of the past and the future were also important. How might the seven principles of the original co-operative founders developed in the 1800s address issues that new co-ops are facing today? More generally, an important question arising from our interest in 'thinking forward through the past' will be how can we inherit from past experiments with alternative economies without being overly nostalgic or romantic? Alternatively, if capitalism has been widely characterised as blighted with short-time horizons is it the case that alternative enterprises are developing a more extended sense of past and future? Does the idea of being accountable to the next seven generations, for example, resonate with the people we will be visiting and working with?
Finally, our discussions also brought up issues of social and environmental change. Time is important here because our understandings of how change happens and what counts as a change are shaped by our conceptions of time. A linear model of time suggests that change happens when an individual decides the result they want and puts in place the incremental steps needed to achieve that result. A more complex model of time questions our ability to predetermine results in this kind of way. Here in particular Debbie Bird Rose and I talked about the contrasts between an ecological time where very slow processes can be combined with feedback loops and sudden shifts between states, and human (often bureaucratic) accounts of change which depend on ideas of stability and predictability. Might a more sustainable understanding of time respond better to the 'patchiness of change' which we see in climate data for example? Molly Scott-Cato also raised the issue of how to combine ideas of dynamic change with a need to be fixed within limits. Within capitalism dynamism is linked with growth, but in the arts, for example, creativity and limits can go hand in hand. An important issue here then is challenging the idea that nature provides a timeless and unchanging backdrop to a progressive and inventive human economy. Suggested case studies to explore this topic include working with communities that are experiencing nature as an active and abrupt force in their lives (e.g. through floods, severe weather etc) and what kinds of mechanisms they are using to deal with this, but particularly exploring whether these experiences are challenging people's understandings of time.
Alex and I are off to the Co-op archives next week to see what we find there so stay tuned!

Artisan Baking and the pressures of time (Part 2)
mystuart (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
In our previous post, we described some of the changes in the baking industry following the deregulation of bread prices in the UK in 1815. In this post we wanted to outline some of the temporal dimensions specific to baking that have been revealed in our preliminary research:
Night-working. Long hours worked at night were the main factor that set baking apart from other crafts. Night working was promoted both by the consumer (wanting to purchase fresh bread before work in the morning) and the supplier (the journeyman working on commission, who needed to buy the amount of flour agreed with the miller or corn factor). The introduction of the free market encouraged longer hours and during the nineteenth century, bakers might have only 4-5 hours sleep each day.
Yeast - bread-making was a lengthy process, needing to take into account the cycles of rising and kneading. Until the production of dried yeast, it needed to be nurtured as a living product, in the forms of barm or ferment - which remains true of traditional sourdough bread. In 1859 the aerated bread process, which needed no yeast, was patented by Dr John Daulish, founder of The Aerated Bread Company. This reduced the length of time taken in breadmaking from around 10 hours per loaf to around 2 - but the high costs of the machinery limited its take-up.
Perishability - this limited bread production to the locality and required consumers to make regular purchases.
In a fascinating article on the Halifax (Canada) baking and confectionary industry, we found a quotation from an 1868 petition by the Journeyman Bakers' Friendly Society "To the Master Bakers of Halifax", which puts the workers' hours of labour into a social and moral context designed to resonate with public opinion on respectability.
In a moral and intellectual point of view it is nearly as bad, as we have no time for recreation, no moral improvement; no time to spend in the social or family circle. We have no time for the public meeting, lecture, concert or religious duty; the Sun shines in vain for us, the trees and plants may grow, and the flowers may bloom, but not for us. To us the delights of the country are a sealed book; to prepare for our early toil we have to go to bed, (those that have one), while the rest of the world is awake, and work while the rest of the world asleep, thus reversing the laws of nature. No wonder that some of us have recourse to stimulants in order to give a spur to our overworked and failing nature, and for the time to bury in oblivion our degraded position.'
Modern breadmaking methods have reduced the need for night working, by cooling dough down to low temperatures - its fermentation is then halted until it is warmed up again. Modern methods, including par-baking and the use of steam ovens, have even enabled bread to be transferred directly from freezer to oven. The use of frozen dough has allowed for the introduction of on-site baking and the continuous supply of fresh bread in supermarkets etc. The return to artisan baking, however, means that some of the time conflicts experiences by bakers in the 1800s are being re-visited today. We'll explore this in our next post.

For many people the new economics is synonymous with the rise of the artisan economy. One of the flagships for this movement is the revival of artisan bread, which includes the rise of community bakeries, such as Homebaked Anfield and the campaign for Real Bread. In order to start to tease out the relationships between time and alternative economies we'll be including case studies of a variety of new artisan businesses. However, we've also been really interested in the way many approaches to the new economics explicitly draw on the past for inspiration. So we will also be exploring how archive research might shed light on contemporary questions about economics and time.
We've been doing some preliminary research into what kinds of records might give insights into baking methods and cultures. Part of this involved finding out more about the history of the baking industry, to identify what records might have been created. This research has already thrown up some interesting findings which relate to the time-dimension and economics of baking.
Until 1815, bread-making was controlled by medieval legislation: the 'Assize of Bread' of 1266. This stipulated the size, weight and price of loaves according to the price of wheat and included other regulations for bread production. A number of books listing sizes and prices of loaves survive: we looked at one in the Liverpool University Special Collections as part of the 'Memories of Mr Seel's Garden' project; there's another one online here.
Woodcut showing the making of bread in bakeries, from The Assize of Bread 1608
The Assize did not prevent price fluctuation, but linked it to the grain market. Rather than competing against price as we do now, under this system, competition between bakers was based on bread quality, as it was illegal to produce cheaper loaves. This ideally led to better tasting bread, rather than simply cheaper bread. Although in times when flour was expensive, adulteration was common.
During the eighteenth century, however, the monopoly of the craft guilds was breaking down and increasing numbers of bakers (often not master bakers, but journeymen acting as agents for millers and flour merchants) began to undercut the fixed price - and were hailed as the champions of liberty against the bastions of ancient privilege. After the end of the bread crisis and famine years of the late 1790s, many towns abandoned the Assize and a Parliamentary Committee appointed to enquiry into the matter in 1815 recommended that more benefits were likely to be incurred from free competition.
The actual results of deregulation, however, were revealed by H.S. Tremenheere's 1862 Report Addressed to Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, relative to the Grievances complained of by Journeymen Bakers, with Appendix of Evidence, 3027, H.C. (1862). This documented an industry still dominated by artisan methods but in appalling conditions and for low financial reward, with prices kept down by low wages and adulteration. In particular, alum was added to flour to meet public demand for 'white' bread - perceived as being purer and therefore of higher quality. Under these circumstances, author John Burnett, writing in 1963, viewed the introduction of technology and changes brought by improved scientific understanding of the baking process, as well as the importation of grain from further afield, as advances which 'rescued the journeymen from the miseries of 1862'.
We've found a number of interesting transformations in senses of time occurring during the process of deregulation, which we will outline in our next post.

NFL power rankings: Eagles soar to the top after 3 weeks of action
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The 2022 NFL is through three weeks of the season and the first month of the year is essentially over.
There are two undefeated teams left – the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins – and there are several teams jostling for position in their own divisions. A lot still has to be decided.
One of the teams that jumped in the rankings are the Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence led the team to a victory over the Los Angeles Chargers and took advantage of a still-injured Justin Herbert. The Jaguars looked decent through the first three games of the season.
Week 4 will be highlighted by the Dolphins' matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday. The Buffalo Bills play the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Read below for the rest of the rankings.
1). Philadelphia Eagles (3-0)

Previous rank: 4
Week 3 result: 24-8 win over Commanders
Week 4 matchup: Sunday vs. Jaguars
The Eagles are one of two undefeated teams left through three weeks of the NFL season. The Eagles have the fifth most points scored and lead the NFL in yards gained. The defense is seventh in points allowed and fifth in yards allowed. Jalen Hurts has the team locked in and leading the NFC East.
2). Miami Dolphins (3-0)
Week 3 result: 21-19 win over Bills
Week 4 matchup: Thursday @ Bengals
Tua Tagovailoa led the Dolphins to an upset victory of the Bills over the weekend – even coming back into the game after being injured. The team's defense definitely needs to step up but the turnover it did create against Buffalo was clutch. The offense is eighth in points allowed and 13th in yards gained.

Week 3 result: 19-21 loss to Dolphins
Week 4 matchup: Sunday @ Ravens
The Bills are still among the favorites to win the Super Bowl, and Sunday's loss to the Dolphins was a mere setback. The Bills are still in the top three in yards gained and points scored. Additionally, the Bills are fourth in points allowed and first in yards allowed.
4). Kansas City Chiefs (2-1)
Week 3 result: 17-20 loss to Colts
Week 4 matchup: Sunday @ Buccaneers
The Chiefs had a bad loss to the Colts over the weekend. The offense looked stagnant, and they ran into some controversy with a sideline interaction between Patrick Mahomes and Erick Bieniemy. The team will have to put doubts aside for Week 4.
5). Green Bay Packers (2-1)

Week 3 result:
Week 4 matchup: Sunday vs. Patriots
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers eked out a win over the Buccaneers. Rodgers looked like he was getting in tune with his wide receivers more and that is a dangerous thing for the rest of the NFL.
6). Minnesota Vikings (2-1)
Week 3 result: 28-24 win over Lions
Week 4 matchup: Sunday @ Saints
The Vikings came back to defeat the Lions. The team is still in the top 10 in points allowed but the rest of it has to come together next week. A +3 point differential is not going to last too long, and Kirk Cousins will have to cut down on the turnovers.
7). Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady throws during the second half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers Sunday, Sept. 25, 2022, in Tampa, Florida.
Week 3 result: 12-14 loss to Packers
Week 4 matchup: Sunday vs. Chiefs
The Buccaneers dropped their first game of the season and dropped in the power rankings a bit. The offense looked stagnant with the injuries piling up. While the defense looks good, the team has to do better than 22nd in points scored and 27th in yards gained.
8). Los Angeles Rams (2-1)
Week 3 result: 20-12 win over Cardinals
Week 4 matchup: Monday @ 49ers
The Rams have shown why they are the defending Super Bowl champions after bouncing back from their first loss of the season. Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp will need to stay in this high gear.
9). Baltimore Ravens (2-1)

Previous rank: 10
Week 3 result: 37-26 win over Patriots
Week 4 matchup: Sunday vs. Bills
The Ravens held off the Patriots in Week 3 and showed that even with the loss to the Dolphins they are still one of the best teams in the league. The team has the most points scored in the NFL. The defense will have to start doing their part, three interceptions off Mac Jones is a good start.
10). Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1)
Week 3 result: 38-10 win over Chargers
Week 4 matchup: Sunday @ Eagles
Trevor Lawrence looked crisp as the Jaguars picked apart the Chargers' defense on Sunday. The team has moved up in this week's power rankings. The Jaguars are seventh in points scored, sixth in yards gained, fourth in points allowed and seventh in yards allowed. The team has a +46 point differential.
11). Denver Broncos (2-1)
12). Dallas Cowboys (2-1)
13). New York Giants (2-1)
14). Cleveland Browns (2-1)
15). Chicago Bears (2-1)
16). Indianapolis Colts (1-1-1)
17). Cincinnati Bengals (1-2)
18). Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2)
19). New England Patriots (1-2)
20). Los Angeles Chargers (1-2)
21). Arizona Cardinals (1-2)
22). Atlanta Falcons (1-2)

Single-fiber study of contractile and biochemical properties of skeletal muscles in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats Academic Article
Mechanically skinned, single muscle fibers, isometrically activated in pH and Ca2+ (Sr2+) buffered solutions were used to examine the function of the contractile apparatus in slow- and fast-twitch fibers from soleus (SOL, predominantly slow-twitch) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL, predominantly fast-twitch) muscles of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and age-matched controls. Three and 14 days after STZ administration, the contractile properties of muscle fibers from diabetic rats did not differ significantly from those of controls with respect to several mechanical parameters, such as maximum Ca-activated tension, activation threshold, and sensitivity to Ca2+ and Sr2+. In contrast, 28 days after STZ administration, 37.5% of the fast-twitch EDL fibers developed maximum activated tensions (77.1 +/- 10.4 kN/m2), which were significantly lower than those developed by controls (244.0 +/- 14.3 kN/m2), and the slow-twitch SOL fibers displayed a significantly higher sensitivity to Ca2+ (and Sr2+) than the controls. All fibers from diabetic rats, including the low-tension EDL fibers and higher Ca sensitivity SOL fibers displayed control-like electrophoretic profiles of the major myofibrillar proteins. Taken together with data from earlier studies on the effects of long-term diabetes on whole skeletal muscle contractility, these results strongly suggest that 1) the decrease in tetanic tension output of EDL muscles induced by diabetes is caused mainly by direct effects of the diabetic condition on the contractile/regulatory system of a subpopulation of fast-twitch fibers, which develop little force, and 2) the diabetes-induced slowing of twitch times of SOL muscles is caused in part by the increased sensitivity to Ca2+ of the contractile apparatus in the slow-twitch fibers.

We wanted to take the opportunity to share our experiences with you after completing the 60 – day executive program. We are not your "typical" members, we were neither elite athletes desiring to gain a more competitive edge nor do we have medical problems, hoping to lower our blood pressure or reduce the amount of medication we were on. Chris and I are in our late 30's and realized it was time change our lifestyle and live a healthier life.
We were both thrilled with our results. Chris gained 11 lbs of muscle mass while losing over 18 total lbs. I on the other hand am excited to be getting stronger in my upper and lower body. I have never worked out using nautilus equipment or weights and appreciate the knowledge the personal trainers have given me.
While at times the meal plan has been a struggle (because I really love carbs) we are grateful for the coaching that the personal trainers and you both have given us to continue on. Your words of wisdom resonate in our heads and have given us the tools to make the right choices for a fulfilling life in a fit body. Patience and perseverance are our two mantras as we continue on during our next 60 – day program.

5 Day a Week vs. 3 Day a Week Preschool Programs: Which is Better For My Child?
One of the most exciting times in life to both the parent and child is when the child begins their journey into the world of education. One of the goals at the Learning Box Preschool is to make this a smooth yet exciting and enjoyable time for the child and parent or teacher.
We have available what we call the Small Box for a 3 day-a-week program and a Big Box program intended for 5 days-a-week. The programs are intended to be used for 1 to 2 hours daily. Both the Big Box and the Small Box include extra activities such as food experiences and field trips to further enhance the educational experience.
The Small Box has the same themes, colors, letters and numbers as the Big Box but has fewer days of activities and fewer overall crafts. The Small Box will also have the same number of traditional "Fun"damental activities but they will rotate each month.
If you do choose to use the Big Box program but know there will be some months you may not be able to use the program all 5 days, you may request the Small Box for that month. Be sure to give Learning Box a heads up before the normal shipping date.
The Small Box includes 12 days of supplies and one "Special" day is included. This program is intended to have 2 "Fun"dametal activities every day. This could be expanded to a 5 day program by only doing one "Fun"damental activity per day.
Having the choice between the Big Box or the Small Box lets you customize the learning experience to fit your needs and time constraints. Being able to substitute the Small Box for the Big Box for some months will give you added flexibility in choosing what best meets your needs.

If you are a Beatles fan of long standing, you know what a butty is; Beatles and butties are indivisible, going back to the days before peace and vegetarianism.
So if you are a Fabs freak or if you simply long for British food (or close to it), head to Archie's Bar & Grill in Melbourne.
Located on the site of the former Surf Dog's, with a pretty patio, Archie's is not over-decorated, though it does have rest room doors cleverly painted to look like a pair of red telephone boxes, and a Union Jack or two. Behind the bar are house beers, including Budweiser, Fuller's London Pride bitter and Murphy's Stout from Cork; a selection of wines; and "guest beers," the names of which are chalked on blackboards. Service is exceptionally friendly and attentive.
The menu is informal: British-inspired appetizers like Shepherd's Fries ($7.95), French fries topped with shepherd's pie filling; why they weren't named "Shepherd's Chips" remains to be asked. There are lots of American-style burgers too, as well as wings, sandwiches and lighter fare, but that which draws the nostalgic eye is what's under "From Across the Pond," which includes bangers and mash, scampi and chips, fish and chips and shepherd's pie. The aforementioned bacon butty is on the sandwich menu, near the British Banger.
There also are specials such as Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, pies and sticky toffee pudding, when available. Emphasize the last words, because the Scotch eggs apparently sell out fast, as does the dessert; both were chalked but unavailable on our visit.
We went for a sausage roll ($5.50), a banger encased in pastry and served with shredded lettuce, curried mustard and red onion chutney. In flavor and texture, the banger was fairly close to the sausage found in the U.K., though the pastry as a bit limp, possibly from reheating. The mustard and chutney were marvelous.
The entree was fish and chips ($13.95), partially because it was a Friday in Lent, but truthfully because I like fish and chips. This was a great slab of lovely cod, perfectly, crisply battered, fried and laid atop American-style steak fries. Chips that come from potatoes cut and cooked by the Brit of your choice are better, but these were decent, and this is one of the best versions of the English classic in this area.
And there was that bacon butty ($6.95), which contained actual British bacon (it is much meatier than the U.S. kind, with part of the loin; more like a thin slice of smoked ham), a fried egg and the requisite butter, which is why butties are named butties. Archie's version was all right, if a touch oily, and highly reminiscent of a breakfast sandwich.
As toffee pudding was sold out, apple crumble ($5.25) was available for dessert, and it satisfied, with a wonderfully crunchy topping and creamy ice cream. The whipped topping was entirely unnecessary, though.
Finally, the tea warrants a visit in its own right: hot, strong and British, rather than dusty purveyor rubbish or "brisk" substitutes. Tea drinkers don't want flowers or stuff in fancy bags. They want actual tea and cheers for that, Archie's.
Look, if you want to find out what hungry musicians of the early 1960s devoured at the Jacaranda Club, come 'ead to Archie's. It may not be culinarily perfect, but it is congenial and fun. See you there.
It has been brought to our attention that the hours of La Crêpe de France were cut off in a recent review. Well, here's the truth: La Crêpe is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Je m'excuse, La Crêpe.

Theodore Roosevelt Institute continues president's work
NEW YORK (FOX5NY) - Theodore Roosevelt's great-grandson Tweed stood Friday where the former president once stood to address the people - on the porch of what was known as the summer White House.
"I lived in this house when I was a kid, I didn't live permanently but I often spent the night here," said Tweed Roosevelt.
The elder Roosevelt is remembered as a charismatic and pragmatic man who had an influence on not only the State of New York but also the country and the world.
Tweed is carrying on his great grandfather's legacy through the Theodore Roosevelt Institute at LIU-Post.
New York State grant money will go towards university renovations where the Roosevelt Institute will serve as an educational resource.
"The Roosevelt Institute will advance the legacy of a true American icon and provide a national platform for seminars, lectures, international scholars, workshops, educational programs and conferences on Roosevelt, his time, contemporaries, focusing on leadership and the presidency," said Dr. Kimberly Cline, President of LIU-Post.
Roosevelt's great grandson says the former president was a bipartisan politician whose success was derived from bringing together both sides.
"This is a time we're in great turmoil we're having terrific problems of coming together, we're pulling apart," said Roosevelt. "We're destroying our Americanism idea, TR is one of many voices that can help us rethink and begin to heal our system which is going through a bad time."

HCSO Sheriff: Death of 3 teens found in Crosby home may be double homicide, suicide


Roger Blobaum: Formerly dir. of AFS at CSPI, 4 conferences, now executive dlr. of Michael Fields Ag. Inst, and assoc.director of WSAA.
Chuck Hassebrook: Center for Rural Affairs, committed to bringing grassroots coaltlon together with national organizations.
Many gains and initiatives have been accomplished at state and local level. In DC things have not moved as well. Winning in the ag committees is only one third the battle. They'll get you in implementation and appropriations If not in legislative battles. The 1990 Farm Bill had many new sustainable agriculture provisions that have not been appropriated. We need to expose what the strategies have been at USDA and on committees to subvert sustainable agriculture policy objectives. The battle is made more difficult by not having enough contact and championship by representatives who will go to bat for sustainable agriculture Initiatives and programs. For appropriations, there needs to be grassroots organizing to lobby committee members. A new administration may influence implementation, but approp. comm. needs new people. House of reps will have biggest shakeup in recent history with a new ball game. Stronger urban, environmental representation. An opportunity to forge new and more effective alliances. Example of envlro-ag pressure politics: methyl-bromide. If environmental presence Increases, there will be need to efforts to build new understanding. Environmentalists lean toward regulatory measures. More carrots are needed than sticks. Misunderstandings are rife in the environmental/consumer and agricultural communities. Farmers have strong ideas about environmental movement and yet have moved towards sustainable farming practices. Yet environmental movement is to be credited to support for farm policy. Different backgrounds – Coming together of environmental and farm groups despite the problems. Example of organic movement relations between farm and consumer/environmental groups. Suggest strategic objectives of building sust. ag movement and an agro-environmental movement. Proposal that organic and sustainable have reasons for separation. Separations have led to constraints In policy development. Reform farm bill should not be our sole objective. We should rather think of alternative titles which different coalitions can be formed around. We need to recognize both our diversity and our commonality in the sustainable agriculture movement. Now that conventional agriculture is calling itself sustainable, it will be clear that the original sustainable ag movement distinguish Itself. Efforts to define sustainable agriculture must fall between the poles of necessary educational/policy understanding and cooptation or muddying of all distinction between sustainable ag with integrity and merely a greenwash of conventional ag. Survival Issues are critical. All good managers are suffering. For the economic survival of good managers in family farm agriculture, there must be a real movement. We are now coming from the outside, trying to take agriculture back. We need t© have creative processes to build this movement – example of the MW-SAWG groups continually coming back to meet together to find common ground. Process we take to get to the goal of a truly sustainable agriculture needs to be ambitious and sophisticated. Example of the CA cotton conference bringing broad and diverse constituency together. International community of sustainable agrlcuture and policy development in biotech as well needs to be addressed. Corporate concentration in agriculture needs also to be addressed. Perhaps there should be a very sharp focus in a commodity area such as cotton. We should work cleverly with organizations which have internal reform efforts that can be worked with examples from all regions. A major question is how big should the circle be drawn initially and what Is the difference between dialogue and the Inclusion in the circle. How effective we are in true grassroots organizing will be critical.
Have the convention in 1994 and allowing the organization in regions to tie in and build support in their conferences to the 1994 National dialogue conference.
Identify the groups and their currently scheduled conferences to ask if they can commit some of their agendas to this idea of a national dialog conference.
Keep the liaisons between the regions going to each others conferences to move the dialog.
We need to have coordinating and planning meetings in addition to piggybacking on regional conferences.
Lets design a package, video, or questionnaire to distribute as a marketing tool within regions; states etc. to inform people about this national dialog effort and organize input.
1994 conventions may be too late. We may not have enough time to get other organizations involved* We may be overshadowed by the oppositions efforts. We should be peaking with our efforts in 1994.
We may want to organize organizational committees within regions to work on a national taskforce in developing farm bill platform and offer guidance to the process within their regions or states.
We may want to have a conference in 1993 on the national level to initiate the process and rely on regional efforts to educate and develop their positions. In addition to having a 1994 conference to have a concrete policy plan.
Organization in some areas may be from scratch. How will we address this?
We may need the assistance in marketing this concept.
In the Interest of analytical needs to develop this process, we need to start as soon as possible in order to utilize the IAA Center idea (Youngberg)-by March 1993.
Bring to the table regional reps with their positions in March 93, and then have a policy conference in late 93.
Do we have enough resources to do local/state organizing.
We need to utilize existing/past local/state resources.
We need to develop a policy concept to guide discussions.
– develop coordination committees: Political/strategy committee, organizational committee.

Providing incentives in farm bill – what will really work to make the transition?
Do we want to trust food production policy to corporate giants? this is the model that will continue to happen unless things change??
The experiences of those participating should be brought in.
How will the kit be designed to allow it to be self administering?
We do not want to be merely taking input for "our" agenda, but developing true local/regional participation in the issues.
How can 95 FB help you solve problems you are concerned with?
How sustainable agriculture has many of the answers.
Should we have generic fact sheets for whole country? Eg. Vermont dairy folks need sensitivity to California water problems.
How do we make this happen? Who is going to do it?
SAWGs may be a good vehicle for development but have no staff and may be too limited in some regions to initiate the process.
Perhaps a joint process of introducing the agenda with leading organizations across farm, environmental and consumer sectors.
The alliance around sustainable agriculture for environmental movements needs to be persuasive. So far it is not.
We need to work with DC sustainable ag coalition players, meeting in Fall 92. These groups are likely to want to be be included.
There are two tracks: the grassroots and the leadership need to be worked simultaneously.
Safe Food and Water, Wetlands and wildlife, Healthy farming and rural communities.
Let us be clear whether the effort is equally driven by sustainable agriculture, environmental and consumer communities or primarily driven by sustainable sustainable ag community.
Perhaps this will emerge in the course of dialogue. But it will be Important to realize there are different needs to manage the dialogue at different times.
Question of working with mainstream agriculture. Case by case different organizations may be very supportive. At the farm level there may be potential for new alliances.
We need to distinguish between those we may influence and those we include in the coalition.
There is real merit in pulling progressive elements in farm movements with environmental and consumer groups, regardless of what the proportions may be.
Unless environmental and consumer groups realize that their goals are reachable through alliance with the sustainable agriculture movement, there will not be a lot of interest In such an alliance.
Institute for Alternative Agriculture is considering a series of roundtables in 1993 on sustainable ag issues to bring together people working on these issues.

Honeytrap racket busted in capital city
Our Correspondent May 15, 2019 01:11 PM IST Read in Malayalam
Thiruvananthapuram: A probe into a gold heist in the city on Saturday midnight helped the cops to bust a honeytrap racket which executed an uncommon 'scheme' to target men on the road at night. Thiruvallom Police said that though the gang likely exploited eight people, none of the victims has come forward so far with a complaint, thus emboldening the fraudsters to continue their activity.
The same band had waylaid two persons from Tamil Nadu before stealing their gold jewellery, the police said.
The turning point in the investigation came with the discovery of a lost mobile phone.
The probe revealed that some gang members, including a woman, would travel in an autorickshaw. When a likely victim is found alone around midnight in the city, the gang would lure him into the autorickshaw with the offer of taking him to a room with the woman. Police said that the gang called this method 'scheme'.
Most incidents took place on the Karamana-Balaramapuram national highway, Kazhakkoottam-Kovalam bypass and other deserted stretches. While the target and two gang members would travel in the auto, the other two gangsters would intercept them and act as moral police. Threats would follow. Cash, gold and other valuable items would be snatched and the victim was thrown out of the auto.
Two arrests so far
The police recorded the arrest of the second person in the heist case. He is Muhammed Jijas (30) of Paruthikkuzhi.
Usha (42) was arrested earlier. She had taken a house on rent at Palappooru in the city. She belongs to Theepollavu House, near Kadakkavur police station.
The police have also launched a manhunt for the other two members of the gang who used to travel on a bike.
They have been identified and an arrest is imminent, said the Thiruvallom police.
The autorickshaw they used in the crime was seized by the police. Officers also found a stolen mobile phone from the duo.
The case is being investigated by a team that includes Fort Assistant Commissioner R Prathapan Nair, Thiruvallom SHO Aiswarya Prasanth Dongre, Sub-Inspectors S Vimal, Ayub Khan and CPO Sunil.
The attack on the Tamil Nadu natives took place near Vandithadom Junction after midnight on Saturday. The victims were Aneesh Kumar and Abhishek belonging to Kulasekharam in Tamil Nadu.
Travelling in an autorickshaw and bike, the gang allegedly blocked and slapped them. A gold chain weighing 2.25 sovereigns and a mobile phone were stolen, said the police.

Jemimah Rodrigues scored 72 off 53 balls to help India women post 135/6 against New Zealand women in the 2nd T20I at Eden Park, Auckland on Friday.
After being out in to bat, India lost opener Priya Punia early for a ten-ball four to Sophie Devine but in-form Smriti Mandhana and Rodrigues put on 63 runs for the second wicket to steady the Indian innings. However, the fall of Mandhana to Rosemary Mair in the 10 over halted the Indian momentum and as was the case in the first T20I, the middle-orde failed to build on the good start by the top order.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur drove on off Leigh Kasperek to rival skipper Amy Satterthwaite at short extra cover to depart for five. Dayalan Hemalatha retired hurt for two after injuring her shoulder when attempting a dive, followed by the wicket of Deepti Sharma (run out) for six.
But Rodrigues kept her end intact and took on legspinner Amelia Kerr, hitting her for three straight boundaries. Rodrigues though departed in the 19th over to Kerr after hitting six fours and one six. India when on to lose on more wicket in the final over in the form of Arundhati Reddy for 3 to Mair.
Veteran Mithali Raj was once again not picked for the 2nd T20I despite Indian batting unit collapsing in the 1st T20I.
