Manchester Orchestra @ the Rescue Rooms | 29/09/2014
Manchester Orchestra are neither Mancunian nor do they boast a brass section.
Daniel Eggleston
This five piece indie rock band hailing from Atlanta, Georgia are currently touring the UK to promote their newest album Hope.
The night consisted of a merry go round of personnel with most of Manchester Orchestra pulling double duty. They had already performed before their headline slot, in the form of the first support act Bad Books, the super group that also contained Kevin Devine who is a member of the second support band Kevin Devine and the Goddamn Band.
With a back catalogue that now spans four albums there was certainly no lack of songs for the band to choose from. They opened with songs from their second album, Mean Everything to Nothing. The opener 'Pride' showcased Manchester Orchestra's ability to transition from quiet wistful crooning reminiscent of a folk song to something almost completely different in a matter of seconds as a swirl of crashing drums, screeching guitars and Andy Hull's now pained screams of, "I think I'm dying" filled the room. The barrage of high volume rock did not relent as the opening chords of 'Shake It Out' rung. If screaming electric guitars were allowed in an orchestra, it would be this opening riff that would get Andy Hull and his bandmates through the theatre doors.
At one point they teased 'Wolves at Night' after an audience member requested it, but this soon turned into a slight rant about being able to pick whatever song they wished. After this short interlude they returned with a rendition of 'Top Notch' from their newest album Hope. The staccato drumming and rushing guitars highlight that their newest release is their heaviest project yet.
The fact that Manchester Orchestra have such a rich catalogue to delve into makes the decision to cover the theme tune of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as their final song all the more strange. It did kind of prove their point about being able to choose whichever song they want to perform. The fact that this was one of the most well received songs though was more of an indictment of those in attendance than the actual performance of the bands.
The crowd were the glaring negative of the event. The audience have the ability to make or break a gig. A good crowd can elevate a band's sound to the highest of musical echelons. A poor crowd can hinder the gig, giving the band nothing to feed off when looking for audience participation. Unfortunately for Manchester Orchestra they had attracted the latter; most in attendance seemed unwilling to sing along and even move during some songs.
The ear shattering sound layered with Andy Hull's brilliantly sung dark lyrics showed that Manchester Orchestra are currently playing at their best. Sadly the lack of expected crowd participation meant that I left the gig feeling like an integral part of the performance was missing.

Home How To How to Install the iOS 10 Public Beta on Your iOS Devices
How to Install the iOS 10 Public Beta on Your iOS Devices
Last Updated: September 29, 2016 11:00 pm
It's that time of the year again… When Apple launched the iOS Developer Beta 1, earlier this year, we tried it out (and wrote an article about how to install it) and were excited about the changes iOS 10 was bringing to the table. Now, the tech giant has released the first Public Beta for iOS 10, which promises to be a lot more stable than the developer builds as it is aimed at – as the name suggests – the public. Here, we present a guide on how you can install the public beta on your iOS devices.
The following devices are compatible with iOS 10, so if you have one of these, you can try out the Public Beta right now.
iPad 4, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro
iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4
iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE
Prepare Your Device
It's recommended to make a backup of your device before you install any beta software on it. The reason is simple, a "beta" software is not a fully tested piece of software, and is not recommended to be used on a "daily driver".
Backing up your iOS device is simple: just connect it to your computer and launch iTunes. Make sure you backup your device to the computer and encrypt it; this ensures that a full backup of the device is made by iTunes. You won't usually need a backup, but it's better to have one, just in case.
Enroll Your Device For The Beta
1. From your iOS device go to beta.apple.com/profile.
2. Sign in using your Apple ID.
3. Tap on the button that says "Download Profile".
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the profile.
Update Your Device
Note: Make sure your device has at least 50% battery or is connected to a power source, or the device will not let you install iOS 10.
Follow these steps to download and install the iOS 10 Public Beta:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on General.
3. Go to Software Update.
4. The device will check for updates.
5. Your device will then show the available iOS 10 update; download and install it.
Note: The iOS device might restart multiple times during installation, but don't worry, that is normal.
When your device finally boots up, it will be updated to iOS 10 Public Beta 1.
SEE ALSO: Moving From Android to iOS? Here's Everything You Should Know
Try iOS 10 Public Beta
Now you can install iOS 10 on any compatible iOS devices that you might have. We have used it, albeit for a short time, and we like it. Well, mostly. There are a couple of UI/UX choices that I wish Apple made differently; but that boils down to personal preferences. Overall, the build is very stable, and there are only a couple minor bugs (at least by my eye and usage).
Remember that installing a beta version of iOS on a daily driver is not recommended, but if you like staying on the bleeding edge of software innovations (which, in itself is risky), then you can go ahead and install the beta on your iOS devices. Rest assured, it works well enough. Let us know your thoughts on iOS 10 and the design changes that Apple introduced with it, in the comments.

\section{Introduction}
In the canonical seesaw models~\cite{canonical_seesaw}
the physical neutrino masses are largely suppressed by the scale
of lepton (L) number violation, which is also the scale of leptogenesis.
The observed baryon (B) asymmetry and the low energy neutrino oscillation
data then give a lower bound on the scale of leptogenesis to be $\sim 10^9$
GeV~\cite{di_bound}. Alternately in the triplet seesaw models~\cite{
tripletseesaw} it is equally difficult to generate $L$-asymmetry at
the TeV scale because the interaction of $SU(2)_L$ triplets with the
gauge bosons keep them in equilibrium up to a very high scale $\sim 10^{10}$
GeV~\cite{ma&sarkar_prl}. However, in models of extra dimensions~\cite{
ma_raidal_sarkar} and models of dark energy~\cite{ma&sarkar_plb} the masses
of the triplet Higgs scalars could be low enough for them to be accessible
in LHC or ILC, but in those models leptogenesis is difficult. Even in the
left-right symmetric models in which there are both right-handed neutrinos
and triplet Higgs scalars contributing to the neutrino masses, it is
difficult to have triplet Higgs scalars in the range of LHC or
ILC~\cite{sahu&sarkar_prd}. It may be possible to have resonant
leptogenesis~\cite{singlet_resonant} with light triplet Higgs
scalars~\cite{triplet_resonant}, but the resonant condition requires
very high degree of fine tuning.

In this paper we introduce a new mechanism of leptogenesis at the
TeV scale. We ensure that the lepton number violation required for
the neutrino masses does not conflict with the lepton number violation
required for leptogenesis. This led us to propose a model which is
capable of explaining dark matter, dark energy, neutrino masses
and leptogenesis at the TeV scale. Moreover, the model predicts a
few hundred GeV triplet Higgs whose decay through the same sign
dilepton signal could be tested either through the $e^\pm e^\mp$
collision at linear collider or through the $pp$ collision at LHC.

\section{The model}
In addition to the quarks, leptons and the usual
Higgs doublet $\phi \equiv (1,2,1)$, we introduce two triplet Higgs
scalars $\xi \equiv (1,3,2)$ and $\Delta \equiv (1,3,2)$, two
singlet scalars $\eta^- \equiv (1,1,-2)$ and $T^0 \equiv (1,1,0)$,
and a doublet Higgs $\chi\equiv (1,2,1)$. The transformations of
the fields are given under the standard model (SM) gauge group
$SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$. There are also three heavy
singlet fermions $S_a \equiv (1,1,0), a = 1,2,3$. A global symmetry
$U(1)_X$ allows us to distinguish between the $L$-number violation
for neutrino masses and the $L$-number violation for leptogenesis.
Under $U(1)_X$ the fields $\ell_{iL}^T \equiv (\nu, e)_{iL} \equiv
(1,2,-1)$, $e_{iR} \equiv (1,1,-2)$, $\eta^-$ and $T^0$ carry a quantum
number 1, $\Delta$, $S_a$, $a=1,2,3$ and $\phi$ carry a quantum
number zero while $\xi$ and $\chi$ carry quantum numbers -2 and 2
respectively. We assume that $M_\xi \ll M_\Delta$ while both $\xi$
and $\Delta$ contribute equally to the effective neutrino masses.
Moreover, if neutrino mass varies on the cosmological time scale
then it behaves as a negative pressure fluid and hence explains
the accelerating expansion of the present Universe~\cite{dark_energy}
\footnote{Connection between neutrino mass and dark energy, which
is required for accelerating expansion of the Universe, in large
extradimension scenario is discussed in ref.~\cite{cliffetal}}. With
a survival $Z_2$ symmetry, the neutral component of $\chi$ represents
the candidate of dark matter~\cite{darkmatter}.

Taking into account of the above defined quantum numbers we now
write down the Lagrangian symmetric under $U(1)_X$. The terms in the
Lagrangian, relevant to the rest of our discussions, are given by
\begin{eqnarray}
-{\cal L } &\supseteq & f_{ij} \xi \ell_{iL} \ell_{jL} + \mu (A) \Delta^\dagger
\phi \phi + M_\xi^2  \xi^\dagger \xi + M_\Delta^2 \Delta^\dagger
\Delta \nonumber\\
&& + h_{ia} \bar e_{iR} S_a \eta^- + M_{sab} S_a S_b + y_{ij}\phi
\bar \ell_{iL} e_{jR}+ M_T^2 T^\dagger T \nonumber\\
&&+ \lambda_T |T|^4 + \lambda_\phi |T|^2 |\phi|^2 + \lambda_\chi |T|^2
|\chi|^2 + f_T \xi \Delta^\dagger T T\nonumber\\
&& + \lambda_{\eta \phi}|\eta^-|^2 |\phi|^2 + \lambda_{\eta \chi}
|\eta^-|^2|\chi|^2 + V_{\phi \chi} + h.c.\,,
\label{lagrangian}
\end{eqnarray}
where $V_{\phi \chi}$ constitutes all possible quadratic and quartic
terms symmetric under $U(1)_X$. The typical dimension full coupling
$\mu(A)=\lambda A$, $A$ being the acceleron field\footnote{The origin of
this acceleron field is beyond the scope of this paper. See for example
ref.~\cite{pascosetal.06}.}, which is responsible for the accelerating
expansion of the Universe. We introduce the $U(1)_X$ symmetry breaking
soft terms
\begin{equation}
-\mathcal{L}_{soft} = m_T^2 T T + m_\eta \eta^- \phi \chi + h.c. \,.
\label{soft-terms}
\end{equation}
If $T$ carries the $L$-number by one unit then the first term
explicitly breaks $L$-number in the scalar sector. The second term
on the other hand conserves $L$-number if $\eta^-$ and $\chi$ possess
equal and opposite $L$-number\footnote{If $\eta^-$ does not possess
any $L$-number then the interaction of $S_a$ explicitly breaks
$L$-number and hence the decay of lightest $S_a$ gives rise to a
net $L$-asymmetry as in the case of right handed neutrino
decay~\cite{fukugita.86}.}. This leads to the interactions of the fields
$S_a, i=1,2,3$ to be $L$-number conserving. As we shall discuss later,
this can generate the $L$-asymmetry of the universe, while the neutrino
masses come from the $L$-number conserving interaction term
$\Delta^\dagger \xi T T $ after the field $T$ acquires a $vev$.

\section{Neutrino masses}
The Higgs field $\Delta$ acquires a very small
vacuum expectation value ($vev$)
\begin{equation}
\langle \Delta \rangle = -\mu (A) {v^2 \over M_\Delta^2}\,,
\end{equation}
where $v = \langle  \phi \rangle$, $\phi$ being the SM Higgs doublet.
However, we note that the field $\xi$ does not acquire a $vev$ at the
tree level.

The scalar field $T$ acquires vev at a few TeV, which then induces a
small $vev$ to the scalar field $\xi$. The Goldstone boson corresponding
to the $L$-number violation, the would be Majoron, and the Goldstone
boson corresponding to $U(1)_X$ symmetry will have a mass of the order
of a few TeV and will not contribute to the $Z$ decay width. The $vev$
of the field $\xi$ would give a small Majorana mass to the neutrinos.

The $vev$ of the singlet field $T$ gives rise to a mixing between
$\Delta$ and $\xi$ through the effective mass term
\begin{equation}
-{\cal L }_{\Delta \xi} = m_{s}^2 \Delta^\dagger \xi ,
\end{equation}
where the mass parameter $m_s = \sqrt{f_T \langle T \rangle^2}$ is of
the order of TeV, similar to the mass scale of $T$. The effective
couplings of the different triplet Higgs scalars, which give the
$L$-number violating interactions in the left-handed sector, are
then given by
\begin{eqnarray}
-{\cal L }_{\nu - mass} &=& f_{ij} \xi \ell_i \ell_j + \mu (A) {m_s^2 \over
M_\Delta^2} \xi^\dagger \phi \phi + f_{ij} {m_s^2 \over M_\xi^2}
\Delta \ell_i \ell_j \nonumber\\
&& + \mu (A) \Delta^\dagger \phi \phi + h.c.\,.
\label{flavour_vio}
\end{eqnarray}
The field $\xi$ then acquires an induced $vev$,
\begin{equation}
\langle \xi \rangle = -\mu (A) {v^2 m_s^2 \over M_\xi^2 M_\Delta^2}\,.
\label{xi_vev}
\end{equation}
The $vev$s of both the fields $\xi$ and $\Delta$ will contribute to
neutrino mass by equal amount and thus the neutrino mass is given
by
\begin{equation}
{m}_{\nu} = - f_{ij} \mu (A) {v^2 m_s^2 \over M_\xi^2 M_\Delta^2}\,.
\label{neutrino_mass}
\end{equation}

Since the absorptive part of the off-diagonal one loop self energy
terms in the decay of triplets $\Delta$ and $\xi$ is zero, their
decay can't produce any $L$-asymmetry even though their decay
violate $L$-number. However, the possibility of erasing any
pre-existing $L$-asymmetry through the $\Delta L=2$ processes
mediated by $\Delta$ and $\xi$ should not be avoided unless their
masses are very large and hence suppressed in comparison to the
electroweak breaking scale. In particular, the important erasure
processes are:
\begin{equation}
\ell \ell \leftrightarrow \xi \leftrightarrow \phi \phi ~~~~{\mathrm and}~~~~
\ell \ell \leftrightarrow \Delta \leftrightarrow \phi \phi\,.
\end{equation}
If $m_s^2\ll M_\Delta^2$ then the $L$-number violating processes mediated
through $\Delta$ and $\xi$ are suppressed by $(m_s^2/M_\xi^2 M_\Delta^2)$
and hence practically don't contribute to the above erasure processes.
Thus a fresh $L$-asymmetry can be produced at the TeV scale.

\section{Leptogenesis}
We introduce the following two cases for
generating $L$-asymmetry which is then transferred to the required
$B$-asymmetry of the Universe.\\

{\it Case-I}:: The explicit $L$-number violation

First we consider
the case where $L$-number is explicitly broken in the singlet sector.
This is possible if $\eta^-$, and hence $\chi$, does not possess any
$L$-number. Therefore, the decays of the singlet fermions $S_a$,
$a=1,2,3$ can generate a net $L$-asymmetry of the universe through
\begin{eqnarray}
S_a &\to & e_{iR}^- + \eta^+ \nonumber \\
& \to & e_{iR}^+ + \eta^- \,.\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
We work in the basis, in which $M_{sab}$ is diagonal and $M_3 >
M_2 > M_1$, where $M_a = M_{saa}$. Similar to the usual right-handed
neutrino decays generating $L$-asymmetry~\cite{fukugita.86}, there
are now one-loop
self-energy and vertex-type diagrams that can interfere with the
tree-level decays to generate a CP-asymmetry. The decay of the field
$S_1$ can now generate a CP-asymmetry
\begin{eqnarray}
\epsilon &=& - \sum_i \left[ {\Gamma(S_1 \to e_{iR}^- \eta^+)
- \Gamma(S_1 \to e_{iR}^+ \eta^-) \over \Gamma_{tot} (S_1)}
\right] \nonumber \\
&\simeq & {1 \over 8 \pi} {M_1 \over M_2} {{\rm Im} [(h h^\dagger)_{i1}
(h h^\dagger)_{i1}] \over \sum_a |h_{a1}|^2}\,.
\label{cp_asymmetry}
\end{eqnarray}
Thus an excess of $e_{iR}$ over $e^c_{iR}$ is produced in the thermal
plasma. This will be converted to an excess of $e_{iL}$ over $e^c_{iL}$
through the t-channel scattering process $e_{iR}e^c_{iR}\leftrightarrow
\phi^0 \leftrightarrow e_{iL}e^c_{iL}$. This can be understood as follows.
Let us define the chemical potential associated with $e_R$ field as
$\mu_{eR}=\mu_0 + \mu_{BL}$, where $\mu_{BL}$ is the chemical potential
contributing to $B-L$ asymmetry and $\mu_0$ is independent of $B-L$. At
equilibrium thus we have
\begin{equation}
\mu_{e_L} = \mu_{e_R}+\mu_\phi = \mu_{BL} + \mu_0+\mu_\phi\,.
\end{equation}
We see that $\mu_{eL}$ is also associated with the
same chemical potential $\mu_{BL}$. Hence the $B-L$ asymmetry produced
in the right-handed sector will be transferred to the left-handed sector.
A net baryon asymmetry of the universe is then produced through the
sphaleron transitions which conserve $B-L$ but violate $B+L$. Since the
source of $L$-number violation for the this asymmetry is different
from the neutrino masses, there is no bound on the mass scale of $S_1$
from the low energy neutrino oscillation data. Therefore, the mass
scale of $S_1$ can be as low as a few TeV. Note that the mechanism
for $L$-asymmetry proposed here is different from an earlier proposal
of right handed sector leptogenesis~\cite{frigerio_ma}. The survival
asymmetry in the $\eta$ fields is then transferred to $\chi$ fields
through the trilinear soft term introduced in Eq. (\ref{soft-terms}).

{\it Case-II}:: Conserved $L$-number

We now consider the case where
$L$-number is conserved in the singlet sector. This is possible
if $\eta^- (\eta^+)$ possesses a $L$-number exactly opposite to that of
$e_R^+ (e_R^-)$. Therefore, the decays of the singlet fermions $S_a$,
$a=1,2,3$ can not generate any $L$-asymmetry. However, it produces an
equal and opposite asymmetry between $\eta^- (\eta^+)$ and $e_R^+
(e_R^-)$ fields as given by Eq. (\ref{cp_asymmetry}). If these two
asymmetries cancel with each other then there is no left behind
$L$-asymmetry. However, as we see from the Lagrangians (\ref{lagrangian})
and (\ref{soft-terms}) that none of the interactions that can
transfer the $L$-asymmetry from $\eta^-$ to the lepton doublets while
$e_R$ is transferring the $L$-asymmetry from the singlet sector to the
usual lepton doublets through $\phi \bar{\ell}_L e_R$ coupling. Note that
the coupling, through which the asymmetry between $\eta^-$ and
$e_R^+$ produced, is already gone out of thermal equilibrium.
So, it will no more allow the two asymmetries to cancel with
each other. The asymmetry in the $\eta$ fields is finally transferred
to the $\chi$ fields through the trilinear soft term introduced in
Eq. (\ref{soft-terms}).

\section{Dark matter}
As the universe expands the temperature of the
thermal bath falls. As a result the heavy fields $\eta^-$ and $T^0$
are annihilated to the lighter fields $\phi$ and $\chi$ as they are
allowed by the Lagrangians (\ref{lagrangian}) and (\ref{soft-terms}).
Notice that there is a $Z_2$ symmetry of the Lagrangians (\ref{lagrangian})
and (\ref{soft-terms}) under which $S_a, a=1,2,3$, $\eta^-$ and $\chi$ are
odd while all other fields are even. Since the neutral component of
$\chi$ is the lightest one it can be stable because of $Z_2$ symmetry.
Therefore, the neutral component of $\chi$ behaves as a dark
matter.

After $T$ gets a vev the effective potential describing the
interactions of $\phi$ and $\chi$ can be given by
\begin{eqnarray}
V (\phi, \chi) &=& \left( -m_\phi^2+ {\lambda_\phi\over f_T}m_s^2 \right)
|\phi|^2 + \left( m_\chi^2 + {\lambda_\chi \over f_T} m_s^2\right)
|\chi|^2\nonumber\\
&&+\lambda_1|\phi|^4 +\lambda_2 |\chi|^4 +\lambda_3 |\phi|^2 |\chi|^2
+ \lambda_4 |\phi^\dagger \chi|^2\,,
\label{chi_phi_pot}
\end{eqnarray}
where we have made use of the fact that $m_s = \sqrt{f_T \langle T
\rangle^2}$ and $\lambda_\phi$, $\lambda_\chi$ are the quartic couplings
of $T$ with $\phi$ and $\chi$ respectively. For $m_\phi^2 > \left(
{\lambda_\phi\over f_T} \right)m_s^2 >0$ and $m_\chi^2 , \left( \frac{
\lambda_\chi}{f_T} \right) m_S^2  > 0$ the minimum of
the potential is given by
\begin{equation}
\langle \phi \rangle =\pmatrix{
0\cr
v } ~~~~~{\mathrm and}~~~~~  \langle \chi \rangle=\pmatrix{
0\cr
0} \,.
\end{equation}
The $vev$ of $\phi$ gives masses to the SM fermions and gauge bosons.
The physical mass of the SM Higgs is then given by $m_h =
\sqrt{4\lambda_1 v^2}$. The physical mass of the real and
imaginary parts of the neutral component of $\chi$ field are almost same
and is given by
\begin{equation}
m_{\chi_{R,I}^0}^2= m_\chi^2+{\lambda_\phi\over f_T}m_s^2+
(\lambda_3+\lambda_4) v^2\,.
\end{equation}
Since $\chi$ is odd under the surviving $Z_2$ symmetry it can't decay
to any of the conventional SM fields and hence the neutral component
of $\chi$ constitute the dark matter component of the Universe. Above
their mass scales $\chi_{R,I}^0$ are in thermal equilibrium through
the interactions:
$\lambda_2{\chi_{R,I}^0}^4$ and
$(\lambda_3+\lambda_4){\chi_{R,I}^0}^2 h^2$. Assuming that
$m_{\chi_{R,I}^0} < m_W, m_h$ the direct annihilation of a pair
of $\chi_{R,I}^0$, below their mass scale, to SM Higgs is kinematically
forbidden. However, a pair of $\chi_{R,I}^0$ can be annihilated
to the SM fields: $f \bar{f}, W^+ W^-, ZZ, gg, hh\cdots$ through
the exchange of neutral Higgs $h$. The corresponding scattering
cross-section in the limit $m_{\chi_{R,I}^0}< m_W, m_h$ is given
by~\cite{cliff_npb.01}
\begin{equation}
\sigma_{h}|v| \simeq \frac{\lambda^2 m_{\chi_{R,I}^0}^2}{m_h^4}\,,
\label{crossection}
\end{equation}
where $\lambda=(\lambda_3+\lambda_4)$.

We assume that at a temperature $T_D$, $\Gamma_{ann}/H(T_D)\simeq 1$,
where $T_D$ is the temperature of the thermal bath when $\chi_{R,I}^0$
got decoupled and
\begin{equation}
H(T_D)=1.67 g_*^{1/2}(T_D^2/M_{pl})
\end{equation}
is the corresponding Hubble expansion parameter with $g_*\simeq 100$ being the
effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom. Using
Eq. (\ref{crossection}) the rate of annihilation of $\chi_{R,I}^0$ to the
SM fields can be given by $\Gamma_{ann}= n_{\chi^0}\langle \sigma_h |v|
\rangle$, where $n_{\chi^0}$ is the density of $\chi_{R,I}^0$ at the
decoupled epoch. Using the fact that $\Gamma_{ann}/H(T_D)\simeq 1$ one
can get~\cite{sahu&yajnik_plb.06}
\begin{equation}
z_D\equiv \frac{m_{\chi_{R,I}^0}}{T_D}\simeq \ln \left[
\frac{N_{ann} \lambda^2 m_{\chi_{R,I}^0}^3 M_{pl}}{1.67 g_*^{1/2}
(2\pi)^{3/2}m_h^4} \right]\,,
\end{equation}
where $N_{ann}$ is the number of annihilation channels which we
have taken roughly to be 10. Since the $\chi_{R,I}^0$ are stable in the
cosmological time scale we have to make sure that it should not
over-close the Universe. For this we calculate the energy
density of $\chi_{R,I}^0$ at the present epoch. The number density
of $\chi_{R,I}^0$ at the present epoch
is given by
\begin{equation}
n_{\chi_{R,I}^0} (T_0) = \left( T_0/T_D \right)^3 n_{\chi_{R,I}^0} (T_D)\,,
\end{equation}
where $T_0=2.75^\circ k$, the temperature of present Cosmic Microwave
Background Radiation. We then calculate the energy density at present
epoch,
\begin{eqnarray}
\rho_{\chi_{R,I}^0} &=& \left( \frac{0.98\times 10^{-4} eV} {cm^3}\right)
\nonumber\\
&& \frac{1}{N_{ann} \lambda^2} \frac{(m_h/GeV)^4}{
(m_{\chi_{R,I}^0}/GeV)^2 }[1+\delta]\,,
\end{eqnarray}
where $\delta\ll 1$. The critical energy density of the present
Universe is
\begin{equation}
\rho_c =  3 H_0^2/8 \pi G_N \equiv 10^4 h^2 eV/cm^3\,.
\end{equation}
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\epsfig{file=dm1.eps, width=0.35\textwidth}
\epsfig{file=dm2.eps, width=0.35\textwidth}
\caption{The allowed region of dark matter at the $1\sigma$ C.L. is shown
in the plane of $m_h$ versus $m_{\chi^{0}}$ with $\lambda^2=0.5$ (upper)
and $ \lambda^2=0.1$ (bottom).}
\label{figure-2}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
At present the contribution of dark matter to the critical energy density
of the Universe is precisely given by $\Omega_{DM} h^2=0.111\pm
006$~\cite{pdg}. Assuming that $\chi_{R,I}^0$ is a candidate of dark
matter we have shown, in fig. (\ref{figure-2}), the allowed masses
of $\chi_{R,I}^0$ up to 80 GeV for a wide spectrum of SM Higgs masses.

\section{Dark energy and neutrino}
It has been observed that the present
Universe is expanding in an accelerating rate. This can be attributed
to the dynamical scalar field $A$~\cite{quintessence}, which evolves
with the cosmological time scale. If the neutrino mass arises from an
interaction with the acceleron field, whose effective potential changes
as a function of the background neutrino density then the observed
neutrino masses can be linked to the observed acceleration of the
Universe~\cite{dark_energy}.

Since the neutrino mass depends on $A$, it varies on the
cosmological time scale such that the effective neutrino mass is
given by the Lagrangian
\begin{equation}
-\mathcal{L}= \left[ f_{ij} \mu (A) {v^2 m_s^2 \over M_\xi^2 M_\Delta^2}
\nu_i \nu_j+ h.c. \right] + V_0 \,,
\label{varying_mass}
\end{equation}
where $V_0$ is the acceleron potential. A typical form of the
potential is given by~\cite{ma&sarkar_plb}
\begin{equation}
V_0 = \Lambda^4 \ln \left( 1+ |\bar{\mu}| \mu (A) | \right)\,,
\label{scalar_potential}
\end{equation}
The two terms in the above Lagrangian (\ref{varying_mass}) acts in opposite
direction such that the effective potential
\begin{equation}
V (m_\nu)= m_\nu n_\nu + V_0 (m_\nu)
\end{equation}
today settles at a non-zero positive value. From the above effective
potential we can calculate the equation of state
\begin{equation}
w = -1 + \left[ \Omega_\nu/(\Omega_\nu+\Omega_A) \right]\,,
\end{equation}
where $w$ is defined by $V\propto R^{-3(1+w)}$. At present the contribution
of light neutrinos having masses varying from $5\times 10^{-4}$ eV to 1 MeV
to the critical energy density of the Universe is $\Omega_\nu\leq 0.0076/h^2$
~\cite{pdg}. Hence one effectively gets $w\simeq -1$. Thus the mass varying
neutrinos behave as a negative pressure fluid as the dark energy. For
naturalness we chose $\frac{\mu (A) m_s^2}{M_\Delta^2} \sim 1$ eV such
that $M_\xi$ can be a few hundred GeV to explain the sub-eV neutrino masses,
and $\Lambda \sim 10^{-3}$ eV such that the varying neutrino mass can be
linked to the dark energy component of the Universe.

\section{Collider signature of doubly charged particles}
The doubly charged component of the light triplet Higgs $\xi$ can be
observed through its decay into same sign dileptons~\cite{collider_signature}.
Since $M_\Delta \gg M_\xi$, the production of $\Delta$ particles in
comparison to $\xi$ are highly suppressed. Hence it is worth looking
for the signature of $\xi^{\pm\pm}$ either at LHC or ILC.
From Eq. (\ref{flavour_vio}) one can see that the decay $\xi^{\pm \pm}
\rightarrow \phi^\pm \phi^\pm$ are suppressed since the decay rate involves
the factor $\frac{\mu (A) m_s^2}{M_\Delta^2} \sim 1$ eV. While the decay
mode $\xi^{\pm\pm} \rightarrow h^\pm W^\pm $ is phase space suppressed,
the decay mode $\xi^{\pm\pm} \rightarrow W^\pm W^\pm $ is suppressed
because of the vev of $\xi$ is small which is required for sub-eV neutrino
masses as well as to maintain the $\rho$ parameter of SM to be unity.
Therefore, once it is produced, $\xi$ mostly decay through the same sign
dileptons: $\xi^{\pm \pm} \rightarrow \ell^\pm \ell^\pm$. Note that the
doubly charged particles can not couple to quarks and therefore the SM
background of the process $\xi^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow \ell^\pm \ell^\pm$ is
quite clean and hence the detection will be unmistakable. From
Eq. (\ref{flavour_vio}) the decay rate of
the process $\xi^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow \ell^\pm \ell^\pm$ is given by
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{ii}=\frac{|f_{ii}|^2}{8\pi} M_{\xi^{++}} ~~~~{\mathrm and }~~~~
\Gamma_{ij}=\frac{|f_{ij}|^2}{4\pi} M_{\xi^{++}}\,,
\end{equation}
where $f_{ij}$ are highly
constrained from the lepton flavor violating decays. From the observed
neutrino masses we have $f_{ij}x\sim 10^{-12}$ where
$x=(\langle \xi \rangle/v)$. If $f_{ij}\gsim x$ then from the lepton
flavor violating decay $\xi^{\pm\pm}\rightarrow \ell^\pm_{i}
\ell^\pm_{j} $ one can study the pattern of neutrino masses and
mixing~\cite{chun_plb}.

\section{Conclusions}
We introduced a new mechanism of leptogenesis in
the singlet sector which allowed us to extend the model to explain
dark matter, dark energy, neutrino masses and leptogenesis at the
TeV scale. This scenario predicts a few hundred GeV triplet scalar
which contributes to the neutrino masses. This makes the model
predictable and it will be possible to verify the model at ILC or LHC
through the same sign dilepton decay of the doubly charged particles.
This also opens an window for studying neutrino mass spectrum in
the future colliders (LHC or ILC). Since the lepton number violation
required for lepton asymmetry and neutrino masses are different,
leptogenesis scale can be lowered to as low as a few TeV.

Колаж ( - лепити) је сликарска техника која подразумијева љепљење разних материјала на одабрану подлогу. На тој површини фиксирају се веома различити материјали. Обично је то папир, али се користе и тканине, жица, дрвца, лишће, новински папир, кесе, разни пластични дјелићи итд итд). Колаж је почео да се користи у кубизму почетком 20. вијека; Од тада су га користили представници различитих уметничких струјања и даље га развили (дадаизам, надреализам, футуризам, поп арт). Ширењем колажа настали су између осталог -{combine painting}- и асамблаж. Делимично елиминисање односно измене монтираних елемената доводи до деколажа.

Значајни појавни облици током историје
Порекло ове технике може се пронаћи у прошлости, стотинама година удаљеној од 20. века, међутим њен повратак у 20. век уноси новину у дотадашњи свет уметности. Колаж техника је први пут употребљена у периоду открића папира у Кини, око 200 година пре нове ере. Примена ове технике није била нарочито заступљена  све до 10. века у ком се у оквиру калиграфије у Јапану почиње користити лепљен папир на чијој су површини писане поеме. Када је у питању Европа ова техника се појављује око 13. века. Примена златних листића којима су се облагале подлоге ради постизања ефекта позлаћеног, присутна је у готским катедралама у 15. и 16. веку. Драго камење и племенити метали су се почели примењивати у изради религиозних слика, икона и грбова. У 18. веку декупаж се може пронаћи у радовима Мари Делани, док је у 19. веку употреба ове технике у вези са израдом сувенира или пак књига (нпр. Ханс Кристијан Андерсен, Карл Шпицвег).  Ова техника је такође примењивана у раним 1860. годинама у оквиру Викторијиних фотоколажа. Најпрепознатљивији облик техника добија од 1912. године у радовима Жоржа Брака и Пабла Пикаса, који осмишљавају термин колаж и чине ову технику препознатљивим обележјем модерне уметности.

Колаж кроз различите уметничке правце
Колаж као техника појављује се у правцима као што су: кубизам, дадаизам, надреализам, апстрактни експресионизам, поп арт и савремена уметност.

Кубизам
У оквиру кубизма настаје сам назив колаж који су осмислили творци и најзначајнији представници овог правца, већ споменути  шпански сликар Пабло Пикасо и француски сликар Жорж Брак.  Сарадња између Пикаса и Брака почиње од 1907. када је Брак посетио Пикасов атеље и видео његово дело "Госпођице из Авињона"

Од 1909. године до 1914. године Пикасо и Брак заједно решавају проблеме све сложенијег уметничког изражавања кубизма. Достигнувши, ломљењем облика, границу апстракције од 1912. године Пикасо и Брак се окрећу реалности, не у непосредном приказивању стварности већ коришћењем одређених елемената као што су новинска хартија, комади тапета, дрвета, текстила и канапа. Експериментишући са обојеним и одштампаним комадима папира настају Пикасово дело "Мртва природа на плетеној столици" и Браково дело под називом "Fruit Dish, and Glass" које је пример технике папир коле (papier colle) која подразумева употребу само папира, док се колаж односи и на употребу других материјала.

Дадаизам
Колаж техника у оквиру дадаизма почиње се користити од 1920. године. Карактеристично обележје колаж технике у овом покрету је употреба материјала који раније нису имали толики значај, као што су  улазнице, исечци из часописа, омоти слаткиша, па чак и тродимензионалне ситнице.

Надреализам
Надралисти колаж технику прилагођавају сопственим темама, ослањајући се на подсвест производе јединствену скупину од фотографија, илустрација, обојеног папира и боје. Примена колажа у дочаравању тема карактеристичних дадаизму изражена је у радовима Јозефа Корнела и Андреа Бретона.

Декупаж и фотомонтажа као подврсте колажа

Декупаж
Декупаж је врста колажа која подразумева коришћење слике ради декорације неког предмета. Може укључивати додавање више копија исте слике, исечене или у слојевима нанете на одређену подлогу. Међу уметницима 20. века који су стварали употребом декупаж технике су Пабло Пикасо и Анри Матис.

Фотомонтажа
Фотомонтажа обухвата израду композитне фотографије исецањем и спајањем више других фотографија. Основа композитне слике је понекад фотографисана тако да подразумева додавање елемената других фотографија и финалном верзијом постиже се слично што и коришћењем софтвера за уређивање слика.

Колаж, најчешће поиман као визуелна уметност, нарочито примењиван у сликартву свој израз је пронашао и у архитектури, музици, илустацији, филму или пак дизајну. Присутан је и у дигиталном облику.

Music to watch girls by
I spent many years playing in bands, and despite public demand I've joined another one. This time it's different, though, because this time I won't be presenting male. That means thinking about things I've never had to think about before: what I should or shouldn't wear on stage, whether I can fake the confidence I don't feel, how I'll deal with abuse and/or inappropriate behaviour.
I never had to think about that as a male singer. But then, as Beth McLeish writes, it's different for girls.
Writing on Transistor, McLeish describes a change of opinion: when she was asked a few years ago about what it's like to be a girl in a band, she didn't think it was a particularly big deal.
I said that it was no different from being a boy in a band, as we were, quite simply doing the same thing. I recognised the barriers between women and music careers, but ultimately, I believed that things were by far better now than they used to be.
And she was right, because things are better than they used to be. And yet…
…surely it is not unreasonable for me to be getting tired of being one of only two girls on an entire gig line-up. From what I've gathered, the type of music we play, and the music scene, in general, is a boy's club. For a long time, I just didn't think there was that many women in bands. But now I've learned that this is 100% not the case. We just aren't getting booked as much as our male counterparts.
Half of all guitar purchasers are women, but that isn't reflected on stages. Festival line-ups are often embarrassingly male-dominated, and the same patterns filter down to the smallest clubs.
Putting on a line-up where the only thing the bands have in common is having a female band member isn't helpful either. It's tokenism.
Would you describe a band of guys with a male lead singer as "male fronted?" No, no one would say this, because sadly the assumption is that musicians are male. Surely, it's not fair then to disregard women's songwriting and their art, and just make it about their gender?
Musically, there is very little commonality between, say, Petrol Girls, St Vincent, Wolf Alice and Kathryn Joseph. And yet all too often women are reduced to their gender in a way male artists aren't. Boys are classified by genre. And boys don't have to worry about being objectified by audiences in the way girls do.
Whenever I play gigs, I feel the need to dress up in my coolest clothes and wear lots of makeup. It's that constant pressure to look good that affects so many women in bands, and a lot of the time it matters more than what the music sounds like sadly. Of course, boys in bands are scrutinised for how they look too, and there is, of course, an expectation for them to look cool. But for female musicians, it almost seems like they're there to be sex symbols, and their music is secondary.
The music business has long been sexist, and often misogynist. If they're allowed to be more than just eye candy to look lovingly at the male performers, women artists have long been packaged with their sexuality first and their art second. That's something that's still very much in evidence today.
The treatment of women by male artists and the predominantly male people at every level from roadie to A&R rep has been famously bad. I could make my point pretty clear by listing just a few of the songs about "young girls" in which older men sing about the joys of statutory rape, or the underage lovers of your favourite rock stars or DJs. Or listing some of the court cases where powerful music business figures have exploited female artists both economically and sexually, sometimes simultaneously.
I'm constantly amazed there hasn't been a #metoo for the music business. I suspect it's because there's just too much of it, the prospect of swimming against the tide must seem incredibly daunting. And once again, we're not just talking boardrooms and limos here. We're talking the toilet circuit of tiny venues and local radio showcases. I've played plenty of shows where I've seen appalling behaviour towards women musicians by DJs, by promoters, by audiences and by other bands' members, and to my great shame like everybody else I said and did nothing.
McLeish has two important questions, to which her answers are "not yet":
Are gigs safe spaces for women and girls?
Are women musicians respected and recognised for their art?
Neither of these issues are insoluble. Representation is a huge part of it. If you have more diverse people writing about music, promoting music, playing music, then it becomes less of a skinny white boys' club. And it means things that were previously just seen as "just the way it is" can be changed.
Dream Wife. Image: Wikipedia
Here's an example. A few weeks ago I went to see Dream Wife, a pop/punk band that's generating a lot of buzz. And very early in the show, they stopped and asked the audience to do something very simple:
Look behind you. If the person behind you is smaller than you, swap places.
And the audience looked, and they swapped places. And it was brilliant. The largely female crowd was actually able to see the show without having to try and see past hulking great blokes (and hulking great trans women; I stayed at the bar because I'm massive); the guys' enjoyment of the gig wasn't affected one tiny bit.
Why doesn't that happen at every gig?
I go to loads of gigs, and it's become really clear that the more female and fabulous the crowd, the better the atmosphere. If you go and see, say, queer punk band Queen Zee it's a riot of cis and trans, straight and gay folks all bouncing around together. Go and see a band popular with middle-aged men and everybody's angry-pissed, territorial and furious.
When did we collectively decide that it was okay for men to use their physicality to block the view of people who are typically smaller and socialised to be less aggressive than them?
The venue (Glasgow's SWG3) was also plastered with posters telling attendees to report any abuse or inappropriate behaviour, and on a purely practical level it had sufficient toilets for the girls as well as the boys.
Why doesn't that describe every venue?
And then, of course, there's the sexual assault.
The existence of campaigns such as Safe Gigs for Women should shame us all. The group's statement regarding this year's festival season was sobering: they note that at many festivals "there are bands and artists who are accused or convicted of domestic abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, or rape… Some are accused or have admitted to inappropriate behaviour with fans. Some may have songs that are anti-woman or pro-abuse."
It's not enough to change the physical environment at gigs, although adopting guidelines such as the White Ribbon Project's Safe Gigs advice for venues of all sizes would be a big step in the right direction. We need to address the wider culture too. Respect for all women, onstage and off, should be the rule, not the exception.
My friend Professor Batty writes from Reykjavik, where he's been at the Iceland Airwaves music festival. The ratio of men to women performers? 1:1. The ratio of male to female event workers? Also 1:1. "I have seen the future, and I like what I see," he says.

Q: Sum numbers on thefly in a textarea I have a textarea with a value 0.
I am using the code bellow to sum +1 but it becomes 01 or 011 or 0111 etc.
Any ideas?
My code is:
<input name="su" type="text" id="su" value="0">

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("input:radio").change(function() {

    var val1 = this.value;

    if(val1 == 'true'){
        var addone = "1";
        $('#su').val($('#su').val()+addone);
    }
  });
});
</script>

A: Because using + on an item than involves a string does concatenation instead, for example:
0 + "1" -> "01"

You need addone to be a number and convert $('#su').val() to a number as well:
var addone = 1;
$('#su').val( +$('#su').val() + addone );

A: force the input value to be an integer by using parseInt() by changing
$('#su').val($('#su').val()+addone);

to
$('#su').val(parseInt($('#su').val()) + parseInt(addone));

A: Since addoneis a string and jquery's .val() returns a string, you are concatenating two strings together, not adding numbers. To add numbers instead, you need to convert both to numbers, like so:
 var addone= 1;
 $('#su').val(parseInt($('#su').val())+addone);

A: input's values are always string, if you want to get the numerical values, use parseInt.

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("input:radio").change(function() {

    var val1 =parseInt(this.value);    //parseInt this

    if(val1 == 'true'){
        var addone = "1";
        $('#su').val(parseInt($('#su').val())+addone); //note this one too;
    }
  });
});
</script>

In UP, Poor Implementation of Institutional Delivery Scheme Is Causing Delay in Funds
These delays are doing are driving a wedge in the relationship between community members and ASHA workers.

Khabar Lahariya
"My wife's delivery date was June 9, 2018. Since then, I've visited the Naraini department six times and the bank six times, but the money still hasn't come," said Santram who had travelled from his village, Masauni to the Naraini Community Health Centre to follow-up on the financial assistance his wife should have received under the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY).
The JSY is a centrally sponsored intervention scheme launched by the government in 2005 to reduce maternal and infant mortality among poor pregnant women across the country, with a focus on low performing states such as Uttar Pradesh. Under this scheme, beneficiaries are entitled to the immediate financial assistance of Rs 1,400 when they have institutional deliveries to compensate for out-of-pocket travel expenses and to ensure that these new mothers can buy nutritional food for post-natal care.
"Either the officials don't pay any attention to my request or they keep asking me to come back," said Santram, adding, "I've wasted so much money just to come here what feels like every alternate day." He spends Rs 40 each way every time he travels to the centre.
Another new father, Santosh from Gunda Kala in Banda, has made the trip multiple times for the same reason. "My wife's delivery date was June 10, 2018. Six months have passed but we've gotten no money," he said. "Since the delivery date, they have been promising us that soon the money would be credited to our bank accounts, but nothing has happened."
Accredited ASHA workers are essential to the implementation of the scheme, as they are the link between healthcare centres and the rural population. In turn, they are meant to receive Rs 600 as an incentive for every institutional delivery under their supervision. "Approximately 15-16 deliveries have happened under my supervision in 2018," said Sunita, an ASHA worker from Manpur Sarsada. "I haven't gotten paid for at least six deliveries."
Between August 2018 and January 2019, a total of 2,723 deliveries have been recorded in this community health centre – only 1,800 of these mothers have received the money. This problem is not limited to Naraini. According to NFH4, only 55.4% of all mothers in rural UP received financial assistance under the JSY for babies delivered in an institution. In contrast, on average, rural women spend Rs 1,879 out of pocket for delivery in a public health facility.
Rekha, who has been registered under the JSY and given birth twice at this CHC in Naraini, has never received any funds. "I asked my ASHA worker, but she said nobody has been receiving the money, so what can I do?" she said, exasperated, "I can't force the money out of the government."
Santosh shared the most common explanation given for this delay: "The officials usually say that they haven't gotten the money from the government yet so they can't pay us." Sunita wasn't even given an explanation, just a placation: "They keep saying that the money will be paid soon, but we haven't gotten it yet."
Dr V. S. Rajput, the medical head of the CHC, is quick to deny the magnitude of the problem. "Here, 90% of the cases would have been paid immediately," he said with ease, before shifting the responsibility to the beneficiaries themselves. "The only people who have not been paid are the ones who have not linked their Aadhaar cards or given wrong bank details or given details of accounts that have not been linked with their Aadhaar numbers."
He then added, "It is also very important to keep the passbook updated. What happens often is when we call the bank we find out that the passbook has not actually been updated." He had no problem blaming the banks instead of addressing inter-departmental problems: "Delays in our department could only be if the bank services are not working correctly, so really, it is a delay on their part. There may also be some problems because of the time it takes to do online transactions."
Dr Rajput then shifted responsibility for delays onto the ASHA workers themselves, saying it was due to lack of training about proper documentation and registration. His department is addressing the problem. "To make sure the ASHAs have all the necessary information, they are being trained right now. The training they are getting now is emphasising to each ASHA worker that as soon as they find out that a woman is pregnant, they must bring her to the hospital for the first of four visits, and that they should submit important documents like Aadhaar and passbook then itself," he said.
When asked what the rules were, he had no option but to acknowledge that the guidelines insist on the beneficiaries receiving the financial assistance before the mother's discharge – but that didn't mean it was his department's problem. "The rules say that the money should be transferred the very day of the delivery," he said, "But the setbacks of document collection and submissions add to delays."
When asked about what he was doing to address the backlog, Dr Rajput said, "On our part, we are searching for cases with misinformation and informing the case's ASHA worker so that she can ask the relevant people to correct the information."
Dr Rajput's explanation is not necessarily accurate. It is true that to avail any government scheme, beneficiaries have to link their Aadhaar accounts. But the registration with a medical facility and four visits that he mentioned – for ante-natal care – are not mandatory to receive the cash assistance, which is only linked to institutional delivery under this scheme.
Furthermore, the only paperwork necessary for a medical officer to release the cash assistance at a PHC or CHC is the JSY card. In fact, any payments made before or after seven days of delivery is actually termed illegitimate and subject to audit objection.
It is not just a question of Rs 1400 – it fails the very purpose with which JSY was initiated. UP contributes to more than 30% of all maternal deaths in India. In 2014-2016, UP's maternal mortality rate (MMR) was 201 against the national average of 130. Similarly, the state performs badly when it comes to infant mortality, neonatal mortality and perinatal mortality rates.
However, research has clearly shown that institutional deliveries and proper nutrition are essential for minimising these losses. And while the number of institutional deliveries and the general awareness about JSY have increased over the years, the failure to follow through on these payments would take us two steps back in the progress the state and the country has made.
According to Santosh, this was a matter of this particular CHC's negligence: "I've reported the matter to the hospital authority and filed official complaints multiple times. Nobody picks up the phone on the number I was given and the person in authority is never on the hospital premises. The other attendants don't have any information on the matter."
But whether negligence or not, what these delays are doing are driving a wedge in the relationship between ASHA workers and community members. "The mothers keep fighting with us and accusing us of taking their money," said Amina Khatun, and ASHA from Ranjitpur, "But how can we take the money when their names are on the passbook?" This is particularly dangerous because ASHA workers form the fundamental link between rural healthcare provisions and the people that need them – and undermining this relationship will not bode well for rural maternal healthcare.

Saturday, May 26, featured guest: Restaurateur and avid horse racing fan Danny Meyer. Meyer opened his first restaurant in 1985, Union Square Café in Manhattan. He grew that initial success into Union Hospitality Group, known for other New York restaurants such as Gramercy Tavern and The Modern and, more recently, the formation of the modern-day "roadside" burger chain Shake Shack.


The peripheral blood smear shown here appears normal, because it is. A normal neutrophil and lymphocyte are present. Only a CBC will demonstrate anemia. This is a normochromic, normocytic anemia. Anemia of chronic cisease is the most common anemia in hospitalized persons. There is impaired utilization of iron, without either an absolute deficiency or an excess of iron. There is cytokine-mediated blockage in transfer of iron from the storage pool to the erythroid precursors in the bone marrow. The defect is either inability to free the iron from macrophages or to load it onto transferrin. Inflammatory cytokines also depress erythropoiesis, either from action on erythroid precursors or from erythropoietin levels proportionately too low for the degree of anemia.
Inflammatory conditions release cytokines such as interleukins 1 and 6 (IL1, IL6) that stimulate hepatic production of hepcidin, which reduces iron absorption and decreases release of iron from stores in macrophages.
The result is decreased total serum iron, but iron binding capacity is reduced as well, resulting in a somewhat decreased saturation, but increased ferritin. Serum soluble transferrin receptors will be unaffected by chronic disease states. Anemia of chronic disease is addressed by treating the underlying condition.
Question: What diseases may lead to anemia of chronic disease?
Answer Chronic infections, ongoing inflammatory conditions (e.g., inflammatory bowel diseases, vasculitides), autoimmune diseases, and malignant neoplasms are some of the underlying conditions with ACD.

The Security Council Goes Silent as the Secretary-General Opens Up
Stéphanie Fillion and Kacie Candela
The UN Security Council's 15 members held a meeting on March 26, 2020, by videoconference, to discuss the UN political mission in Libya, as the UN headquarters in New York City remains physically off-limits amid the Covid-19 outbreak. But the meetings have not been live-streamed, so other UN member states are raising questions about the growing lack of transparency of the Council.
For the coronavirus outbreak, UN-Scripted, our podcast series, is ramping up its coverage by offering a bonus episode this week. This time, we look at how the United Nations Security Council is slowly restarting its program of work but offering few details on its operations to the media and all the countries that don't sit on the Council.
We also look at Secretary-General António Guterres's ambitious demand for a cease-fire in all conflict zones. Which countries and militias are complying with the request so far, and which ones are not?
You'll also hear from Mari Skare, the chef de cabinet of the president of the General Assembly, Tijjani Muhammad Bande. (Bande originated the March 27 joint briefing of UN leaders by videoconference from New York to inform UN member states about the UN's current work.)
Skare has been at the heart of reorganizing the Assembly's work over the last few weeks, as the UN goes into "extraordinary" mode. Skare, who is Norwegian, tells us what options are on the table for the high-level annual session of the General Assembly in September, as the United States is currently the epicenter of the pandemic, and New York City now has the most cases, so it's unclear if it will be safe for delegates and global leaders to come to the city or to the country then.
We also talked with PassBlue's reporter Laura Kirkpatrick about one of our most-popular stories this week: the line of succession of top UN leadership. In the US, if anything happens to President Trump, we know that Vice President Pence will take over. But what about Secretary-General Guterres?

Starting One of Your Own?
Should you start a new liquor store or buy one that is already in operation?
That's a complex question, but let me start out with a very simple observation. You're never sure how viable any new business really is. Of course, you have a pretty good idea that the area where you're starting a liquor store has enough customers to support your enterprise. At least, you have a pretty good idea. You've studied the area, looked at possible locations, and done the other legwork.
But the fact remains, you have very little idea how well the liquor store is really going to do. Will it get onto people's "radar" and become a store where they like to shop? Are you going to stock the kind of products that customers in the area prefer, or are you going to have to figure out their preferences through a process of trial and error?
Even with the best advice and the most diligent study, starting a new liquor store entails a lot of guessing. On paper the plans usually sound great but the results tell a different story. Perhaps that is why 96% of all start-ups fail in the first five years.
With an existing liquor store, you will have access to actual historical information that will allow you to thoroughly investigate its past activities, the financials, the market, the customers, the employees, the competition, its operations, its current status, and its future potential.
Regardless of a company's past performance, an existing business will, at the very least, have a history from which you will be able to make certain decisions. Even if the store was not very profitable in the past, your strengths may lend themselves perfectly to turning it into a viable venture. Furthermore, you have the ability to verify what the store company did in the past that resulted in the current status of the operation.
An existing business has a built-in infrastructure. You will inherit active customers, suppliers, employees, equipment and systems. This will allow you to focus on building the business as opposed to a start-up, where you're starting with nothing.
Sales will be generated the day you take over. In fact when the sale is structured well, you can get the keys to your business on Monday and take home a paycheck on Friday!
Buying an existing business is often less expensive than launching a start-up. Even in those cases where it may require a premium, at least you know what you are getting. Plus, with the right information you can negotiate incredible deal terms that you could not achieve with a new business. And remember, over 90 percent of my clients negotiate seller financing.
Everything is negotiable. Everything from the purchase price to financing is open to negotiation. However, there is a lot you need to know in order to buy a good, solid store that can become great with you at the helm. When you have access to the right information and advice you're going to make the right decisions.
Once you buy a good existing business you will hit the ground running and have a foundation in place from which you can really grow the store into a thriving enterprise.

Q: Can you start an ElasticJob at a specific step I have an elastic job agent set up for an Azure SQL database.  The job has two steps (job.jobsteps) and has run correctly in the past.
If the job fails on the second step, I would like to restart it on the second step and not do the first step again.  Is there a way to accomplish this?  It doesn't look like there is.
An example (pseudo-code)
In this example - this is my Job X.  These are Job X's jobsteps (in real life they are T-SQL procedures)
step 1 - Create Tables
step 2 - Populate local Tables from extended tables
step 3 - do some data manipulation on the local tables and write them to new tables
1 - I create table A - it is empty
2 - I use my extended table B to populate table A
3 - I do some data manipulation and write my results to a new Table C
Now - let us say there is a problem with the data manipulation and the results in Table C are wrong or need some new logic added.
I change the logic in Step 3.  I don't need to recreate table A or repopulate it from B - I just want to to start Job X at step 3.
All job steps have a @retry_attempts set to 0 because I don't want them to try again if they fail.  If step 3 fails or gives me a questionable result - I will adjust the T-SQL procedure in step 3 and then want to start job X from Step 3.
Can that be done?
Please note - this is not actually what I am doing - just an illustrative example to explain the problem I am having.
Any advice much appreciated.
