\section{Introduction}

Hawking radiation from black holes has attracted the interest of theoretical physicists since it was
first discovered by Hawking \cite{Hawking:1974sw}. This physical phenomenon unites gravitational physics near
strong gravitational objects (e.g. black holes) and quantum field theory. Therefore, it can be considered
a milestone of modern theoretical physics and a testbed for candidate theories of Quantum Gravity.
Several methods have been developed for the derivation of Hawking radiation apart from the
seminal one by Hawking \cite{Hawking:1974sw}. Among these methods, the most popular ones are: (i) the tunneling method
\cite{Srinivasan:1998ty,Shankaranarayanan:2000gb,Shankaranarayanan:2000qv,Parikh:1999mf,Vagenas:2001rm},
and (ii) the gravitational chiral anomalies method \cite{Robinson:2005pd,Vagenas:2006qb}. We will discuss a variant
of the latter method here {\it which depends on the chiral nature of field theories in the near-horizon region
but does not depend on the existence of a chiral anomaly}.
We will show it is the chiral nature of the field theory in the near horizon region which
is the key feature rather than the existence of a chiral anomaly since we will examine space-times where the anomaly
vanishes but the near-horizon field theory is still chiral.

The gravitational chiral anomalies method,
in spite of the fact that it has been successfully utilized in many space-times, still faces problems. One
shortcoming with the original chiral anomaly method was that it did not yield the thermal nature of the spectrum of
Hawking radiation. The thermal nature of the spectrum was an assumption in the original work on the anomaly
method. This gap was partially filled by \cite{Iso:2007kt} where higher spin currents were used to calculate
the energy flux and all higher moments of the spectrum. By summing up all the moments one could
obtain a thermal spectrum.  A second problem noted in \cite{Akhmedova:2008au} was that the anomaly method
only worked partially or not at all for the non-asymptotically flat Rindler and de Sitter space-times. In this
paper we will show that it is possible to construct a variant of the gravitational chiral anomaly method
which works for all the space-times for which the original chiral anomaly method works as well
as giving the correct results for those non-asymptotically flat space-times for which
the chiral anomaly method fails. This variant of the anomaly cancellation method relies on the
chirality of the field theory in the near horizon region and the principle of effective theory of gravity
\cite{Padmanabhan:2003ub}, \cite{Padmanabhan:2003gd}.

The paper is organized as follows: (i) we summarize the basic features of the method of gravitational chiral anomalies;
(ii) we construct a new physical approach  based on the property of chirality and the principle of effective theory
of gravity and we discuss the advantages of this new approach; (iii) we derive
the radiation fluxes for Rindler and de Sitter space-times for which the method of gravitational chiral anomalies failed
in part or completely.
\section{Method of gravitational chiral anomalies}
We will illustrate the gravitational chiral anomaly cancellation method for 4-dimensional metrics of the form
\begin{equation}
\label{metric}
ds^2 = -f(r)dt^2 + f(r)^{-1} dr^2 + r^2 d\Omega _{(2)} ~.
\end{equation}
The canonical example is a Schwarzschild black hole which has $f(r)=1-2M/r$ with $M$ the black hole mass.
This metric is asymptotically flat. The location of the event horizon is at $r_H=2M$.
Near the horizon, a quantum field behaves like a $(1+1)$-dimensional free massless scalar field since in this region the kinetic
terms are much larger than the potential terms. Thus the potential terms can be ignored. Fields near the horizon can be analyzed
in terms of an infinite basis of outgoing and ingoing waves. In the Unruh vacuum, the outgoing modes can be identified
as right-moving modes while the ingoing modes as left-moving modes. However, due to the horizon, the ingoing
modes are not accessible to an observer lying outside the black hole horizon and thus these ingoing modes are excluded.
This exclusion results in a chiral theory near the horizon which generates a gravitational chiral anomalies at
the quantum level. These anomalies imply the non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor $T^\mu_\nu$
in the near-horizon region, although the energy-momentum tensor remains a conserved quantity
far from the horizon. Thus, one splits the space-time outside the horizon into two regions: near-horizon and far-horizon.
The near-horizon physics is described by an energy-momentum tensor which does not satisfy the energy conservation
equation but satisfies an anomaly equation. In the region
far from the horizon the energy-momentum is conserved. The anomaly equation of the consistent
energy-momentum tensor near the horizon, i.e. $T^\mu_{\nu (H)} (r)$, reads \cite{Bertlmann:2000da}
\begin{equation}
\nabla_\mu T^\mu_{\nu (H)} (r)=\pm \mathcal{A}_\nu =\pm \partial_\mu N^\mu_\nu (r)~, ~~~{\rm with}
~~~ N^\mu_\nu (r) = \frac{1}{96\pi}\epsilon^{\beta \mu}\partial_\alpha \Gamma^\alpha_{\nu \beta}~.
\label{consistentanomaly}
\end{equation}
The upper sign is for the case where the accessible modes are the outgoing ones, e.g. when there is an event horizon,
while the lower sign is for the case where the accessible modes are the ingoing ones, e.g. when there is a cosmological horizon.
This correspondence between the upper/lower signs and the accessible outgoing/ingoing modes will be adopted in this paper.
The symbol $\epsilon^{\beta \mu}$ is the totally antisymmetric tensor in two dimensions. The radial
flux of Hawking radiation is defined as
\begin{equation}
\Phi = T^r_{t (H)} (r \rightarrow \infty) ~.
\end{equation}
It is evident that the $\nu =t$ component of (\ref{consistentanomaly}) is needed for the computation of the flux.
For the specific metric given in (\ref{metric}), the consistent anomaly reads \cite{Robinson:2005pd}
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{A}_t (r)= \partial_r N^r_t (r) ~~~~ \mbox{with} ~~~ N^r_t (r)=\frac{1}{192\pi}(f'^{2} + ff'')~.
\label{consistentanomaly1}
\end{equation}
As already mentioned, the energy-momentum tensor far from the horizon, i.e. $T^\mu_{\nu (o)}(r)$, satisfies the conservation equation
\begin{equation}
\nabla_\mu T^\mu_{\nu (o)}(r)=0~.
\label{conservationeq}
\end{equation}
The energy-momentum tensors in (\ref{consistentanomaly}) and (\ref{conservationeq}) are 2-dimensional
and are obtained from the 4-dimensional one, by integrating over the dimensions which are transverse to
the radial dimension, namely
\begin{equation}
T^r_{t (o)} \equiv \int d \Omega_{(2)} r^2 T^r_{t (4)}~.
\end{equation}
After integration with $r_H$  as the lower bound  and $r$ as the upper bound,
the $\nu=t$ component of (\ref{consistentanomaly}) yields
\begin{equation}
T^r_{t (H)}(r)  \mp N^r_t(r) =  T^r_{t (H)}(r_H) \mp N^r_t (r_H)
\label{nearhor}
\end{equation}
while (\ref{conservationeq}) gives $T^r_{t (o)} (r) = c_0 = \Phi $ with $c_0$ being the constant flux at infinity.

The Hawking radiation flux is obtained from the condition that the value of the energy-momentum tensor
far from the horizon should be equal to the limit of the near-horizon energy-momentum tensor at infinity.
For black hole space-times that are  asymptotically flat the quantity $N^r_t (r \rightarrow \infty)$ vanishes.
Therefore, imposing the aforementioned condition, the flux can be written
\begin{equation}
T^r_{t (o)} (r) = \Phi = T^r_{t (H)} (r \rightarrow \infty) = T^r_{t (H)}(r_H) - \frac{1}{192 \pi} f'^2(r_H)~,
\label{conditionasymptflat}
\end{equation}
where we have used (\ref{consistentanomaly1}) to calculate  $N^r_t (r_H)$ and the upper
sign from (\ref{nearhor}) has been used since the radiation is outgoing.
It is now important to introduce the covariant energy momentum and to give its
relation to the consistent energy-momentum tensor \cite{Bertlmann:2000da}
\begin{equation}
\tilde{T}^r_t (r)= T^r_t (r) \pm \frac{1}{192 \pi} (ff''- 2 f'^2)~.
\label{covtensor}
\end{equation}
The covariant condition is that the covariant energy-momentum tensor
should be zero at the horizon, i.e. $\tilde{T}^r_t (r_H)=0$. Using (\ref{covtensor}) and the fact
that $f(r_H) =0$ yields $T^r_t (r_H) = \pm 2\, \frac{f'^2(r_H)}{192 \pi}  = \pm 2 N^{r}_{t}(r_H)$.
By imposing the covariant condition \cite{Banerjee:2007qs}, the flux of Hawking radiation reads
\begin{equation}
\Phi = + N^{r}_{t} (r_H)= \frac{f'^2 (r_H)}{192 \pi}= \frac{\kappa^2}{48\pi} = \frac{\pi}{12} T_H^2 ~,
\label{flux1}
\end{equation}
where $\kappa$ is the surface gravity of the black hole horizon and $T_H$ is the Hawking temperature.
For the metric (\ref{metric}) $\kappa = \frac{f'(r_H)}{2}$ and $T_H = \frac{\kappa}{2\pi}$.

Up to now, we have shown that the flux can be computed when one employs the conservation and anomaly equations
of the consistent energy-momentum tensor. It should be stressed that one can derive exactly the same results
if the conservation and anomaly equations of the covariant energy-momentum tensor are considered.
In particular, the anomaly equation of the covariant energy-momentum tensor reads \cite{Banerjee:2007qs}
\cite{Banerjee:2009} \cite{Majhi:2009}
\begin{equation}
\nabla_\mu \tilde{T}^\mu_\nu (r) =\pm \tilde{\mathcal{A}}_\nu =
\pm \frac{1}{96 \pi \sqrt{-g}}\epsilon_{\nu \mu} \nabla^\mu R ~,
\label{covariantanomaly}
\end{equation}
where $R$ is the Ricci scalar, and $\epsilon_{\mu \nu}$ is the totally antisymmetric tensor in
two dimensions. The $\nu= t$ component of the anomalies is given by
\begin{align}
\tilde{\mathcal{A}}_t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{-g}}\partial_r \tilde{N}^r_t  ~~~
\mbox{with} ~~~
\tilde{N}^r_t (r)= \frac{ff''-\frac{f'^2}{2}}{96\pi}~.
\label{covariantanomaly1}
\end{align}
Following the same analysis and imposing the same boundary conditions as before (i.e.
$\tilde{T}^r_t (r_H)=0$), one finds that the flux is
\begin{equation}
\Phi = -\tilde{N}^r_t (r_H) = \frac{1}{96 \pi} \frac{f'^2 (r_H)}{2} = \frac{\pi}{12} T_H^2 ~.
\label{flux2}
\end{equation}
This flux is identical to one given by the consistent  equations (see (\ref{flux1})),
since  $N^{r}_{t}(r_H) = -\tilde{N}^{r}_{t}(r_H)$.
\section{A new approach based on an effective theory of gravity and chirality}
In this section we introduce a new method for the computation of the radiation flux
from space-times with horizons. The method is related to the gravitational chiral anomaly method
of \cite{Robinson:2005pd,Vagenas:2006qb} but applies to non-asymptotically flat space-times
for which the original method fails. The first observation is that the anomaly method outlined in the previous
section is based on the existence of gravitational chiral anomalies. However, chirality is the consequence of
the exclusion of the modes and precedes the notion of anomalies. There are space-times which are
chiral but for which the covariant anomaly (\ref{covariantanomaly}) vanishes (e.g. de Sitter space-time)
or for which both covariant anomaly (\ref{covariantanomaly}) and consistent anomaly (\ref{consistentanomaly})
vanish (e.g. Rindler space-time). Thus, the critical feature for the new method we propose here
is the existence of chirality of the space-time and not the existence of gravitational chiral anomalies.

The second observation is that we will employ the principle of effective theory of gravity.
The principle of  effective theory of gravity concerns manifolds and observers. It postulates that
{\it ``physical theories in a given coordinate system must be formulated entirely
in terms of the variables that an observer using that coordinate system can access"}
\cite{Padmanabhan:2003ub,Padmanabhan:2003gd}. This principle indicates that one only
needs to take into account those physical quantities/degrees of freedom in the part of
the manifold to which one has access. When calculating things like the thermal Hawking radiation
flux of a given space-time one only needs to consider those degrees of freedom in the part
of the manifold which are on the same side of the horizon as the observer.
One does not have to include degrees of freedom from the part of the manifold
to which the observer does not have access. For a black hole, this means that the physical quantities
that matter are those that exist only on the external manifold. More concretely,
this means that the symmetries we have to take into account are those on the part of
the manifold on which we construct the physical theory.

One should be careful to point out a caveat -- there are cases where some influence or information appears
to leak through the horizon from one region to the other. One example of this is when a pair of quantum
entangled particles is created in a space-time and one of the entangled particles of the pair is allowed
to cross the horizon. This situation was studied in detail in \cite{mann:2005} for the Rindler space-time.
While the presence of the horizon degraded the entanglement there was still some correlation between the
entangled pairs in the presence of the Rindler horizon. Another proposal where some information can
apparently leak across the horizon occurs in the tunneling method of Hawking radiation
\cite{b-zhang:2009, singleton:2010}. In these works it is shown that by taking into account the energy loss
due to Hawking radiation on the mass of the black hole that the spectrum becomes non-thermal and that there
are non-trivial correlations between the emitted Hawking radiation photons. These correlations are shown
to carry away exactly the right amount of information to account for the original Bekenstein entropy of the
black hole. In the present work (as in all other work on the gravitational anomaly method) the spectrum is
assumed to be purely thermal and in this approximation no degrees of freedom on one side of the horizon
can effect degrees of freedom on the other side.

The radial flux from the consistent energy - momentum tensor, i.e. $T^r_t$,
as well as the radial flux from the covariant energy-momentum tensor, i.e. $\tilde{T}^r_t$,
were constructed on the whole manifold  since they were defined under the condition that they are finite on the horizon
with respect to the Unruh vacuum (see \cite{Robinson:2005pd} and \cite{Banerjee:2007qs}, respectively).
According to the method of gravitational chiral anomalies, near the horizon the consistent and covariant
anomaly equations are given by (\ref{consistentanomaly}) and (\ref{covariantanomaly}), respectively.
These equations can be rewritten in the following suggestive form \cite{Papantonopoulos:2008wp}
\begin{equation}
\partial_\mu (T^\mu_\nu \mp N^\mu_\nu) = 0 ~~~
 \mbox{and} ~~~ \partial_\mu (\tilde{T}^\mu_\nu \mp \tilde{N}^\mu_\nu) = 0 ~.
 \label{effectiveconsistent}
\end{equation}
For the $\nu = t$ components this takes the form
\begin{equation}
\partial_r (T^r_t \mp N^r_t) = 0 ~~~
 \mbox{and} ~~~ \partial_r (\tilde{T}^r_t \mp \tilde{N}^r_t) = 0~.
\label{effectivecovariant}
\end{equation}
From the above two sets of equations one can see that the quantities in the parentheses are conserved.
Thus one can use (\ref{effectiveconsistent}) to describe physics both in the
near and far horizon regions, i.e. in the whole part of the manifold external to the horizon.
Utilizing these two observations, one can define a new tensorial quantity as
the {\it effective} consistent energy-momentum tensor that is conserved on the part
of the manifold exterior (the minus sign) or interior (the plus sign) to the horizon
\begin{equation}
{\cal T}^{\mu}_{\nu}= T^{\mu}_{\nu} \mp N^{\mu}_{\nu} ~.
\label{effectiveconsistent1}
\end{equation}
Similarly, one can define an {\it effective} covariant energy-momentum tensor conserved
on the part of the manifold exterior (the minus sign) or interior (the plus sign) to the horizon
\begin{equation}
{\cal \tilde{T}}^{\mu}_{\nu}= \tilde{T}^{\mu}_{\nu} \mp \tilde{N}^{\mu}_{\nu}~.
\label{effectivecovariant1}
\end{equation}
Equations (\ref{effectiveconsistent1}) and (\ref{effectivecovariant1}) are the main results of this work in that
they give an effective energy-momentum tensor which is defined over the entire part of the manifold external/interior to the
horizon rather than being defined piecewise in the near horizon and far horizon regions. These effective
energy-momentum tensors reproduce all the correct results for the Hawking radiation fluxes of asymptotically flat
space-times as the previous gravitational chiral anomaly method, but in addition they will be shown to
work for the non-asymptotically flat de Sitter and Rindler space-times for which the gravitational chiral anomaly method
broke down. In the next two sections, we will calculate
the flux of these space-times employing the effective energy-momentum tensors. This redefinition of the energy-momentum
tensor may be compared to the redefinition of the canonical electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor, $T^{\mu \nu} _{EM}$,
to the symmetric electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor $\Theta ^{\mu \nu} _{EM} = T^{\mu \nu} _{EM} - T^{\mu \nu} _D$,
where $T^{\mu \nu} _D$ is a four-divergence free quantity (see 12.10B of \cite{jackson:1999}). This redefinition of the classical
electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor is required in order satisfy angular momentum conservation, the traceless of the
electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor, gauge invariance, etc. The definitions given above in (\ref{effectiveconsistent1})
and (\ref{effectivecovariant1}) ensure the energy conservation.

Before moving to the calculations of the radiation flux for de Sitter and Rindler space-times we will
generalize (\ref{nearhor}) for our newly defined energy-momentum tensors. Integrating the
first relationship in (\ref{effectivecovariant})
\begin{equation}
 T^r_t (r \rightarrow r_0) \mp N^r_t (r \rightarrow r_0)= T^r_t(r_H) \mp N^r_t (r_H) = \Phi = \pm N^r_t(r_H) ~.
\label{generalconsistent}
\end{equation}
The integration constant, $\Phi$, is the flux defined previously in (\ref{conditionasymptflat}) and (\ref{flux1}).
The upper sign is for an outgoing flux and the lower sign for an ingoing flux.
We have evaluated the integrated quantity at two points $r=r_0$ and $r=r_H$. Previously $r_0 \rightarrow \infty$
since we were dealing with asymptotically flat space-times. We have generalized (\ref{nearhor}) to
(\ref{generalconsistent}) since de Sitter and Rindler space-times are not asymptotically flat so we will need
to take a limit different than $r_0 \rightarrow \infty$. In a similar manner we can integrate the
second relationship in (\ref{effectivecovariant}) to obtain the covariant expression
\begin{equation}
\tilde{T}^r_t (r \rightarrow r_0) \mp \tilde{N}^r_t (r \rightarrow r_0)= \tilde{T}^r_t(r_H) \mp \tilde{N}^r_t (r_H) =
\Phi = \pm N^r_t(r_H)
\label{generalcovariant}
\end{equation}
where the arbitrary point $r_{0}$ is far from all horizons of the space-time where the flux is to be observed
and will be specified from the geometry of the space-time. As previously, the integration constant, $\Phi$,
is the flux defined in (\ref{flux2}) and we have used the fact that $N^{r}_{t}(r_H) = -\tilde{N}^{r}_{t}(r_H)$.
Again  the upper sign is for an outgoing flux and the lower sign for an ingoing flux.
\section{De Sitter spacetime}
The metric of de Sitter space-time in static coordinates is written as
\begin{equation}
ds^2 = -\left( 1-\frac{r^2}{a^2} \right) dt^2 + \left( 1-\frac{r^2}{a^2} \right) ^{-1} dr^2
\end{equation}
with the cosmological horizon located at $r_H=a$. The method of gravitational anomalies can
be applied to de Sitter spacetime only using the consistent expressions of the equations and fails if
one applies the covariant expressions of the equations \cite{Akhmedova:2008au}. The reason for this failure is
that the covariant anomaly vanishes since the Ricci scalar is a constant, i.e. $R=\frac{2}{a^2}$.
However, the elements $N^r_t$ and $\tilde{N}^r_t$ do not vanish at the proper limit, $r_{0}= 0$, namely
$N^r_t(r \rightarrow 0) = \frac{1}{192\pi}\left(-\frac{2}{a^2}\right)$ and
$\tilde{N}^r_t (r \rightarrow 0) =\frac{1}{96\pi}\left(-\frac{2}{a^2}\right)$. The proper limit
is $r_{0}= 0$ since the flux is flowing from the cosmological horizon inwards. The
accessible part of the manifold inside the cosmological horizon and
the flux of Hawking radiation has to be calculated at the point $r_{0}=0$.
Using the equations for the redefined consistent energy-momentum tensor (\ref{effectiveconsistent1})
and (\ref{generalconsistent}) (using the lower signs for these two equations since the flux is coming inward from the
cosmological horizon at $r_H$) we obtain
\begin{equation}
\Phi = {\cal T}^{r}_{t} (r\rightarrow 0) = T^r_t(r_H) + N^r_t (r_H) = - N^r_t(r_H) ~.
\label{flux3}
\end{equation}
Similarly using the equations for the redefined covariant energy-momentum tensor  (\ref{effectivecovariant1})
and (\ref{generalcovariant}) (again using the lower sign in these two equations) we obtain
\begin{equation}
\Phi = {\cal \tilde{T}}^{r}_{t} (r\rightarrow 0) = \tilde{T}^r_t(r_H) + \tilde{N}^r_t (r_H) = - N^r_t(r_H)
\label{flux4}
\end{equation}
It is evident that employing either the redefined effective consistent energy-momentum tensor (\ref{effectiveconsistent1}),
or the redefined effective covariant energy-momentum tensor (\ref{effectivecovariant1}),
the flux of the Hawking radiation in de Sitter space-time is equal to
\begin{equation}
\Phi = - N^r_t (r_H) = +\tilde{N}^r_t (r_H) = - \frac{f'^2 (r_H)}{192\pi} = - \frac{\pi}{12}T_{GH}^2 ~,
\label{flux5}
\end{equation}
where $T_{GH}$ is the Gibbons-Hawking temperature  of the cosmological horizon \cite{Gibbons:1977mu}, i.e.
$T_ {GH}= 1/2\pi a$.
\section{Rindler space-time}
The metric of Rindler space-time in static coordinates reads
\begin{equation}
\label{rindler}
ds^2 = -(1+ 2ar)dt^2 + (1+2ar)^{-1} dr^2 ~,
\end{equation}
where $a$ is the observer's constant acceleration. Due to his acceleration the observer sees a horizon
and hence detects a flux. This is the Unruh effect \cite{Unruh:1976db}. In \cite{Akhmedova:2008au}, it was
shown that both the consistent and covariant anomaly method failed to calculate the Unruh
radiation since the metric in (\ref{rindler}) is simply that of flat space-time as seen by an accelerating
observer and thus both the consistent and covariant anomalies were zero for this space-time. However,
$N^r_t$ and $\tilde{N}^r_t$ where non-zero constant at the limit point $r_0 = 0$, where the static observer resides.
From (\ref{consistentanomaly1}), we obtain $N^r_t = a^2 / 48 \pi$ and from (\ref{covariantanomaly1}), we get $\tilde{N}^r_t =-a^2/48 \pi$
for all $r$. As for de Sitter space-time the limit point is at $r_0 = 0$ rather than infinity. However the horizon
is located at $r_H =-1/2a$ so that the flux is ``outward" from negative $r$ toward positive $r$. Thus in
(\ref{effectiveconsistent1}) and (\ref{effectivecovariant1}) one should upper signs since the flux is ``outward".

The new approach outlined above can be employed here since Rindler space-time is chiral despite the vanishing of both anomalies.
Utilizing the effective consistent energy-momentum tensor (\ref{effectiveconsistent1}) as well
as (\ref{generalconsistent}) (both with the upper sign) the flux reads
\begin{equation}
\Phi = {\cal T}^{r}_{t} (r \rightarrow 0)= T^r_t(r_H) - N^r_t (r_H) = N^r_t(r_H) ~.
\end{equation}
Next using the effective covariant energy-momentum tensor (\ref{effectivecovariant1}) and the
relationship (\ref{generalcovariant}) (again both with the upper sign taken), the flux reads
\begin{equation}
\Phi = {\cal \tilde{T}}^{r}_{t} (r\rightarrow 0) = \tilde{T}^r_t(r_H) -\tilde{N}^r_t (r_H) = - \tilde{N}^r_t(r_H) = N^r_t(r_H) ~.
\end{equation}
In both of the above equations $r_{0} = 0$ and $r_H = -1/2 a$.
It is again evident that employing either the equations of the effective consistent energy-momentum tensor, or
the equations for the effective covariant energy-momentum tensor, the flux of the Unruh radiation in Rindler
space-time is  equal to
\begin{equation}
\Phi = N^r_t (r_H)= - \tilde{N}^r_t (r_H)= \frac{f'^2 (r_H)}{192\pi} = \frac{\pi}{12} T_H^2
\end{equation}
where $T_H= a/ 2\pi$ is the Unruh temperature seen by the accelerated observer.\\
\section{Conclusions}
The new effective energy-momentum tensor, either ${\cal T}^{\mu}_{\nu}$, or ${\cal \tilde{T}}^{\mu}_{\nu}$
helps resolve some of the shortcomings of the gravitational chiral anomaly cancellation
method \cite{Robinson:2005pd, Vagenas:2006qb} for calculating Hawking radiation. Chirality near the horizon
is the symmetry that provides us with the form of the conserved energy-momentum tensor and is responsible
for the existence of the flux. The principle of effective theory of gravity justifies
the extension of the applicability of the equation found near the horizon to the whole effective manifold.
The problems that the definition of this conserved effective energy-momentum tensor resolves,
be it in the consistent or in the covariant form, are:

(a) It provides a physical basis for the calculations of the flux to non-asymptotical space-times
where $N^r_t$ and $\tilde{N}^r_t$ are not zero at infinity while the anomalies,
$\partial_r N^r_t$ and $\partial_r \tilde{N}^r_t$, are zero.
The explanation is that the conserved energy-momentum tensor on the manifold is not  $T^{\mu}_{\nu}$ or $\tilde{T}^{\mu}_{\nu}$
but the  conserved effective energy-momentum tensor ${\cal T}^{\mu}_{\nu}$, or ${\cal \tilde{T}}^{\mu}_{\nu}$, respectively.
Since here we have not considered other sources of energy on the manifold, the constant value of the effective energy-momentum
tensor at infinity should be equal to the flux from the horizon.
However, even in the case of an energy flux from another source, this other source can be inserted in the initial construction
of the effective energy-momentum tensor.

(b) The method applies to Rindler space-time since the theory is still chiral in spite of the fact
that both the consistent and covariant anomalies are zero for the Rindler metric.

(c) The method also applies to de Sitter space-time using the covariant expression of the effective energy-momentum tensor,
while previously only the flux calculation using the consistent expression gave the correct result.

The method outlined here can also be applied with partial success to the time-dependent FRW metric
\begin{equation}
\label{frw}
ds^2= - dt^2 + a^2 (t)\left(\frac{dr^2}{1-kr^2}+r^2d\Omega_{(2)} \right)~.
\end{equation}
Following a series of coordinate transformations \cite{ijmpd:2010}, it is possible to transform the FRW metric
to the de Sitter like form
\begin{equation}
\label{frw1}
ds^2= - (1-\tilde{r}^2/\tilde{r}_A^2)d\tau^2 + \frac{1}{1-\tilde{r}^2/\tilde{r}_A^2}d\tilde{r}^2+\tilde{r}^2d\Omega_{(2)}
\end{equation}
where $\tilde{r}_A=\frac{1}{\sqrt{H^2+k/a^2}}$ and $H = {\dot a}/a$. Applying either the new consistent or the new
covariant energy-momentum tensor method to the FRW metric in form (\ref{frw1}) leads to temperature
$T_{FRW} = 1 / 2 \pi \tilde{r}_A$. This expression is approximately correct since a more complete analysis \cite{sp-kim}
shows that the full expression for $T_{FRW}$ involves an additional terms which depends on ${\dot {\tilde{r}}_A}$.

(d) The method can be generalized in a natural way to space-times with multiple horizons. In these space-times
there are as many energy fluxes as there are horizons. The effective manifold
is that part of the complete manifold between all the horizons. The proper limit for the calculation
is any point in the manifold which is far enough from all the horizons.

(e) It unifies the effective manifold where the energy-momentum tensor is defined
into one region. There is no need to split the manifold into regions near the horizon and
far from the horizon. However, we should be careful about the dimensionality of the theory in each region.
Far from the horizon the theory is n-dimensional while near the horizon we have assumed that the
theory is 2-dimensional. This is a subtle point. The theory is not 2-dimensional.
What we have done is to exclude the transverse dimensions since they play no role in the calculation of
Hawking radiation. We could equally work with the full dimensional theory near the horizon and
then take the Hawking radiation from the (t-r)-dimensions.

Thankfully, the re-imagined ABBA track is only the first in a series of forthcoming bootlegs.
Canadian turntable legend, producer, and Fool's Gold label head A-Trak is sharing a new bootleg rework of ABBA's classic "Voulez-Vous" after playing the cut on tour over the past few months. Of course, the rework is absolute fire, so after several pleas from fans throughout the tour — we've all been blessed with the (un)official audio.
The track caps off a huge year for A-Trak who just welcomed the massive success of his second annual Goldie Awards in November. According to a press release, the DJ and Beat Battle competitions drew combatants, as young as 15, from Japan, New Zealand, Brazil, Portugal, and Venezuela, as well as Mexico, Canada, and the US. The prolific artist also recently released "Ride For Me" with Young Thug and featuring 24hrs and is hosting the ninth annual Fool's Gold Day Off at Art Basel Miami this week.


In John 8:12, Jesus is called the Light of the World. And because of that, we can deal with our sin appropriately with one broad stroke. We can come out of the darkness of our sin, simply by coming into fellowship with the Light.

Chicago's moral debt to black youth

Chicago made history last week. Two African-American women are now advancing to a runoff election that will decide who will be Chicago's next mayor. This is not the only watershed, however. It also coincides with a potential turning point in the city's treatment of longstanding issues of race, policing, and criminal justice.
Both mayoral candidates—Lori Lightfoot, a former federal prosecutor who chaired Chicago's Police Accountability Task Force, and Toni Preckwinkle, current chair of Cook County's Board of Commissioners and Democratic Party—have taken strong stances that acknowledge systemic racism in the Chicago Police Department. Both have also called for greater police reform and accountability.
Chicago's recently approved consent decree reflects this shift in the city's policing policy.
It must be recognized, however, that many of the most compelling reforms proposed in that agreement—among them, reporting requirements for every time an officer points a gun at someone, and guidelines for how police should interact with people with disabilities and LGBTQI individuals—exist because those most affected protested and litigated to have them included.
Today, the necessity for collective struggle continues. The consent decree alone does not go far enough, particularly on issues of reparation.
For instance, a coalition of city activist and community groups publicly noted that while the reform plan includes a number of important counseling service provisions for police officers who have experienced trauma, no such services are outlined for civilians impacted by police violence.
In a sense, the reality that Chicago will name a African-American woman as its next mayor contradicts another reality: the city's disregard for young black lives.
But the city's neglect of wrongdoing reverberates far beyond that. Daily, systemic racism in Chicago's police department has imperiled the health and life outcomes of specific groups—notably African-American young people. This is a population all but invisible in the consent decree and to whom the city has made no amends.
Data from the Chicago Tribune shows that about 60 percent of those shot by police between 2010 and 2015 were black young people between the ages of 12 and 30. In fact, young adult-aged black women and men are 10 and 14 times more likely to experience police uses of force compared to their white peers according to the Citizens Police Data Project.
And just in the year 2014, about 40 percent of adults stopped and questioned and 40 percent of those arrested by police were black young adults between the ages of 18 and 30—totaling more than 241,000 police stops and 43,000 arrests.
These data reveal a simple truth: Chicago's young black population is perhaps the most affected demographic when it comes to policing. Yet there is no clear articulation of how to remedy this injustice, even as thousands upon thousands of black young adults are criminalized and locked out of gainful employment and government benefits every year due to the unequal application of felony convictions. (For instance, among Cook County juveniles arrested on drug offenses in 2011, about half of black youth were charged with a felony compared to fewer than 10 percent of their white peers.)
Chicago's consent decree, by its very nature, is silent about the staggering harms done to this young population. Rather, the agreement leans heavily on community policing efforts that, according to the activist organization We Charge Genocide, mobilize "self-selecting" groups of residents to surveil often black and brown young people in their communities.
What's at stake in Chicago and across the country with respect to police reform is therefore not only a matter of criminal justice. It's a matter of social and economic justice for present and future generations of black people—one that will require greater moral and political will from both the public and the new city leadership.
But at the same time, the new direction in Chicago's mayoral race also presents a political opportunity to name and transform this reality.
Today, there exists another case for reparations in Chicago. The city owes a moral debt specifically to generations of young black people: a debt Chicago's city government has yet to address, much less fully acknowledge. But also a debt that reaches far beyond unjust policing to widespread unemployment and massive disparate impacts in school closures and public housing displacement.
On its own, Chicago's consent decree does little to make amends to young black people who have been robbed of life and opportunity at the hands of police. It cannot be the policy on which people place their hopes and expectations. Instead, all of us—the incoming mayor included—would do well to understand the decree as one outcome of a social movement pushing for full public acknowledgement and accountability with regard to unjust policing. When we center the circumstances of young black people in the city, we witness the unfinished business of that movement.

I have added more updates to the main list in the first page. A new build that includes all these updates isn't ready on PTS yet. I believe it will be over the weekends.
1) Promote synergy between the individual souls.
2) Reduce the dependence on the Riftblade as the goto spec for most aspects of game play.
3) Make Warlord a competitive ST Melee DPS soul, but comes at a cost in survivability to reach that goal.
4) Make Champion a competitive AE DPS soul while being able to excel in encounters that require both ST and AE DPS capabilities.
Parses will be appreciated. You can post your parses in this thread or PM them to me.

What I Really Wanted To Talk About Today...
Until I understood that I have to provide my blurb on this whole Drone shooting affair, even though I am in the same position as most of readers of this blog--I read news. I also prefer the situation to play out because I am not in the business of predictions of events, I forecast frameworks. That is different than trying to score some points while getting lucky in predicting next market crush or nominations for Oscars. Speaking of which, a notable piece from prominent Indian diplomat M.K. Bhadrakumar, whose thoughts are always interesting and incisive and not on India's affairs only. In his one of the latest he writes about US-India discord and notes:
Major historical shifts are taking place in the global power balance and the Western domination of the international system is drawing to a close. Countries such as China and India are steadily reviving, shaking off the stagnation of the colonial era. This is prompting an overall rethink in the US' attitudes. What is unfolding has parallels in modern history. (See the essay titled A Manufacturing War Between the UK and Germany in the 19th Century Set the Stage For Today's Trade Crisis.) Thus, in the case of China, more hardline approaches are already quite visible. We should note carefully the controversial remark made recently by Kiron Skinner, the director of policy planning at the US State Department (and a Harvard-educated foreign affairs specialist), that Pompeo's team is developing a strategy for China based on the idea of "a fight with a really different civilisation" for the first time in American history. "This is a fight with a really different civilisation and a different ideology and the United States hasn't had that before. The Soviet Union and that competition, in a way it was a fight within the Western family," Skinner said, noting Karl Marx's indebtedness to Western political ideas. "It's the first time that we will have a great power competitor that is not Caucasian," he said.
I wrote on this not for once. There is an anecdotal evidence of at least part of American elite exercising views such as highlighted in yellow during Cold War 1.0. At one of the diplomatic receptions during Detente of 1970s one of the American generals, after having few bourbons with cigar was overheard stating that Russians, of course, are sons of bitches, but they are our sons bitches--like us, they like good suits and good whiskey. Chinese, in general's opinion, were different--that is "not our" SOBs. I am in no position to vow for the veracity of this event BUT such point of view definitely existed in the West. In the end, late Oriana Fallaci, in the wake of 9/11 wrote about both WWI and WWII being European Civil Wars. She had a point. But today things are different.
There is no ambivalence or ambiguity when I state (as did, btw, Edik Limonov) that Russia is a Western country, despite being a Eurasian Empire, Russia IS, it is the combined West which stopped being West. Russia today, despite all her by far not simple problems, as was culturally evident in Soviet times, has more classic Western traits from rationality of thought, to, education, to pardon me, class, than most allegedly Western countries, especially in Western Europe have today. So, in this sense Russia is a Western culture, with a twist, of course. Well, in the end, Russian achievements from science, art, culture to industry are always counted for Western Civilization. But what's left of that Western Civilization today? But even larger question arises: if Mr. Skinner of State Department thinks that US State Department got the Soviet Union right in the first run--I don't think he and his policy "planning" will do much better in case with China. Considering WHO and WHAT was used as the foundation of the anti-Soviet policies on US side during Cold War 1.0 one has to be really clear that what killed the USSR had very little to do with US "policies" but primarily with internal dynamics of the Russia/Soviet Empire whose development and national policies bore the seeds of its own destruction. After all, Esteemed Ambassador Jack Matlock, late George F Kennan and even David Glantz and Jonathan House would agree with me. Especially, as Glantz and House correctly stated that USSR "became the hostage of its own success" after WW II.
US got lucky first time around and that luck, as I also write in my book, was largely rooted in Soviets own misconceptions about the United States and its intentions. In general, declaring the "victory" in the Cold War was akin to attributing the death of the opponent to getting him a cold while he was dying from the self-inflicted wound of the stomach from a 12-gauge Mossberg. Now, we all know today all those "sources" and tools used by the West during the Cold War--from dissidents such as Solzhenitsyn who, literally, solzhenitsified Russia's history to a class of Soviet Zapadniki who developed a naive and cooperative idea about the West. In other words, even in highly restricted for information exchange days of the Soviet Union, the West had a rather caricature impression about USSR--a fact perfectly illustrated with West's inability to see things right when Russia today has more freedoms than most of the nations in Western Europe and political discussion in Russia makes Western "democracies" look like an Orwell's vision come alive. Now, one wants to convince me that US State Department which became a euphemism for incompetence is capable to develop anything sensible about such massive, ancient and complex culture as China? Really? Do they even have cadres for that?
No doubt, there are many Chinese who are as pro-Western as are marginal narrow strata of Russia's so called liberal fanatics, but the problem today for the United States is in the fact that it can not sustain anymore the image of shining first world democratic paradise--US is long ago not that, thus it lost greatly in attractiveness. Good ol' material symbols of the West--skyscrapers, highways, shopping malls and fast food, among few others, are widely available in China, and in Russia. Moscow with her skyline can give a run for their money to any American, let alone European city, while having cultural treasures no US city simply has. Same goes for Shanghai which looks 22nd Century. China's economy is simply larger (most likely much larger) than American one. So, will US promote "democracy" among Chinese? Good luck doing that, plus, Russians will share their knowledge of Western-style "democracy" whose modern values today are revolving primarily around sexual perversion, political correctness and economic model which is unsustainable. Oh boy, so much to strive for those Chinese. But let's put it in a plain simple language--it is much harder to BS today than it was in the times of Cold War 1.0. Behold, both Chinese and Russians today have the ability to see in person or on Youtube what Skid Row is, or what a joy it is to live in the hood while attending Pride Parades. I am sure policies based on that (and that is what, in the end, it all comes down to) will win the day. I kid, I kid. Considering last 25+ years of catastrophic triumphs of American geopolitical thought and diplomatic activity around the globe, I would say that Chinese should concentrate on what they do, while observing how, yet another, shallow and useless "policy" will come out of the deep recesses of the American doctrine and policy-mongering machine. Russians can tell a lot about effectiveness of those.

All the Restaurants True Atlantans Should Eat At
By Mike Jordan Published On 03/17/2016
The Vortex Midtown
There are several things you have to do before you can be considered a legitimate resident of our great Southern city. Finding a place to live and obtaining an ID card are the first steps. But you'll also need to seek the kind of places where many a great man or woman before your time blissfully let their bodies go, where gravy dishes are part of the table setup, and they're refilled more than the water glasses. Speaking of those places, it's mandatory that you visit and patronize them, and now you're armed with a list specifically designed for that. Welcome to Atlanta.

Now that they've named a Midtown street after the famous Georgia-born and Georgia-singing songstress (not sure why The Pips didn't get any love), it's pretty much the law that you have to eat here at least once. It's not cheap (particularly for chicken and waffles), and it's not mind-blowing, but there's a perpetual line outside every weekend morning (sometimes weekdays, too), and the general vibe of community will make you feel glad(ys) you stopped in.

You can walk into this long-standing veggie/vegan establishment not far from the Atlanta University Center wearing the same meat-dress that Lady Gaga wore to the 2010 MTV Awards, eat a lentil burger, and come out ready to strip butt-naked and sign a peace treaty with cows.
Majestic Diner
Poncey-Highland
If we're being real, Majestic isn't really doing anything different than Landmark Diner, Buckhead Diner, or any other diner in town with bright lights, late hours, and decent-enough eats. But we've all -- yes, you too; don't lie -- had that night where we knew the only thing that could save us from the suffering of a hungover morning was the endearing greasy spoon goodness of this Ponce people's champ.
Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC.
Mary Mac's Tea Room
The place is over 70 years old and was officially named "Atlanta's Dining Room" by the City of Atlanta in a 2011 resolution. Read any online traveler's guides and you'll be convinced that there's no way to visit Atlanta without eating here. There are pencils and paper sheets on your table for you to write your own order, a tradition of MM's that dates wayyy back. They'll also give you a free cup of collard green juice ("Pot Likker") if you ask. Oh, and there's a sweet lady who will give you a back rub before dinner. For real.
The Varsity
Nobody's saying it's competing with spots like St. Cecilia, but the fact that MARTA trains stopping at North Ave are programmed to tell you you're close to it says it all. The place was founded in 1928, was featured in Gone with the Wind, and has had three presidents stop by for meals (Carter, Bush, and Clinton). Basically, you need to go here just to say you did.
It's a staple of the West End neighborhood, and has been shouted out by T.I., Goodie Mob, Young Jeezy, and other revered ATL rap artists -- and never in disrespectful terms. There's a rosemary chicken dish almost always available that will turn a comfort food atheist into a believer, any given Sunday.
Fat Matt's Rib Shack
Fat Matt's Rib Shack
Today, the debate rages on whether or not they should have been on our newest Best BBQ in ATL list, but alas, they weren't. Regardless, locals don't seem to care that the ribs are allegedly boiled, then grilled. They'll just tell you it's your civic duty to at least have a bite.
The Cheshire Bridge comfort food institution, born in 1927, was originally located at the corner of Lindbergh and Piedmont. In the '60s, it moved and developed a rejuvenated reputation as a place where you could get reliable local dishes like North Georgia trout, as well as unique nightly specials, which are known to include unexpected items like BBQ kangaroo.
Ray's on the River
You forgot about Ray's on the River, didn't you? Well, a lot of other people didn't, which is why the respected steak/seafood joint is still regularly packed 30+ years after opening on the bank of the Chattahoochee River. Serving everything from gumbo to oysters, lobster rolls, and 21-day wet-aged, hand-cut Delmonico ribeye steaks, Ray's is still a favorite among those who appreciate consistency, fanciness, and an impeccable waterside view.
Riverdale Dwarf House Chick-fil-A
The Dwarf House
There are several locations, but the one that matters the most is the Tri-Cities spot. This location was the springboard from which the Cathy family made billions by throwing billions of nuggets and chicken sandwiches into your mouth via the restaurant they launched later: Chick-Fil-A. There's nothing else to say here, other than a reminder that a 24-hour Chick-Fil-A that operates like a Waffle House is where you want to always be... unless it's Sunday.
Atkins Park
Atkins Park is our oldest continually running restaurant (it began as a deli in 1922), and the figurative cornerstone of Virginia-Highland. It's also done a great job staying relevant and beloved by Atlantans, with reliably solid burgers, sandwiches, and entrees like short rib pot roast for the regular folks, as well as a beer selection that beats a lot of newer and trendier places in the beloved Va-Hi district.
The Busy Bee Cafe
In the past year, some significant things have happened at The Busy Bee. There was that time all the legendary '80s-era rappers dined there together, and that other time Bernie Sanders and Killer Mike broke bread and fried chicken bones in political fellowship. Some would say it's "hot" again, but it's had hot sauce ready for hungry guests and neighbors since icons of the Civil Rights Movement dined there for strategy sessions.
The Best Food Trucks in Atlanta
The Best Restaurants in Downtown Atlanta
R. Thomas Deluxe Grill
You don't quite understand Atlanta until you've had a delicious, yet somehow ridiculously healthy breakfast (lots of organic, free-range, gluten-free and raw food options on the menu), at any random time of the day, in a cavernous space with fluorescent lighting and colorful talking parrots. Eat here to know Atlanta, and know yourself. Or, you know, just to get full and feel refreshingly weird all at the same time.
The Big Chicken
OK, so it's a KFC. The chicken is fried, the potatoes are mashed and topped with gravy, the biscuits are baked, etc. The only thing that makes it somewhat different and an ATL landmark is, well, the extremely large, 56ft tall wooden chicken, which towers over all and will one day be worshipped by the true believers when the Great Chicken Rapture comes to pass, as predicted by the prophet Foghorn Leghorn.
JR Crickets
It's obvious that franchisees will put one of these taverns damn-near anywhere they can find an open building (sorry JRC, but the "The Original" sign outside what used to be the North Ave IHOP isn't fooling anybody). However, we're cool with the randomness of location because the wings are good. The beer? Eh, we'll be nice and say it's wet enough to drink, but who cares about froth and fizz when you can get a super-cheap pitcher of Heineken?
Yes, it's a rotating restaurant on top of a Downtown hotel, so there's that. But you'd be mistaken to think that just because such a concept is far from new that Polaris slacks on innovative dishes. Sure, there are other places where you can spin around until you're dizzy and grab a sandwich, but where else in ATL can you expect apps like brandy rabbit boudin w/ fried pork belly cracklings, or caramelized Benton's bacon popcorn? Or entrees like cold-smoked Kurobuta pork tenderloin, or slow-stewed red chile chicken? Nowhere but Polaris.
Long before anybody started seriously competing over who made ATL's best burger, it was generally agreed upon that the biker-haven bar and resto with the giant skull sculpture entry was always a top contender. The same group of siblings still own Vortex, and though the original West Midtown location changed to a wider nearby space on Peachtree (where the owners built out Laughing Skull Lounge from the extra room), the famously "idiot-free" establishment's locals have kept that same old good feeling alive.
Pittypat's Porch
No one would be surprised if they told us one day on the news that PPP was raided because it was secretly a hangout for immortal vampires on some From Dusk till Dawn or Blade shit. Even though the actual year of opening was 1967, everybody there seems to have known each other literally forever. Plus it's named after a character from Gone with the Wind, and their plates of Southern fried chicken seem to mimic the movie title soon after they reach your seat at the dinner table.
Sign up here for our daily Atlanta email and be the first to get all the food/drink/fun the ATL has to offer.
Mike Jordan didn't have to eat at every restaurant on this list to know how ATL feels about the ones included, but he tried anyway. If you need further recommendations on what to eat when you visit, tweet @michaelbjordan.

Why Do Migrants Keep Coming To The U.S. Border, Despite Donald Trump's Hardline Policies?
Dad Asks Teen Daughter For Fashion Advice Before A Date, and Melts Twitter's Heart
Wimbledon 2019: Where to Watch Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal Semifinal, Start time, Live Stream and Odds
A haunting picture of a father and daughter mendacity face down, drowned, within the shallow waters of the Rio Grande introduced a lot of the world to a momentary standstill final month.
Like numerous others, Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez, 26, and his 23-month-old daughter, Valeria, had traveled lots of of miles from Central America to Mexico with the hopes of constructing it onto American soil.
But, whereas younger Valeria did, each so briefly, step foot on a riverbank of U.S. land, each she and her father have been swept away by a present after she leapt into the water after him as he started to show again to assist his spouse throughout.
The tragic deaths of the younger father and daughter encapsulate the dangers that asylum seekers are prepared to soak up pursuit of the American dream; in pursuit of security, safety, well being and sure, maybe even happiness.
While some may think-and within the Trump administration's case, maybe even hope-that such a devastating picture may make migrants assume twice earlier than making the usually perilous journey to the U.S. border, those that perceive why asylum seekers are coming to America, know that merely won't be the case.
Already, between the months of January and May of this 12 months, 439,895 migrants have been apprehended on the southwest border by U.S. Border Patrol, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency's data, with some 257,194 households and 41,300 unaccompanied minors amongst them. Many have made the journey from Central America's Northern Triangle, comprised of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

Pushed to the brink
If Americans wish to perceive why so many asylum seekers have made their strategy to the U.S. from Central American nations—and can maintain doing so, whatever the dangers and the Trump administration's efforts to discourage them—they should perceive the "push" and "pull" elements driving them north, Mark Feierstein, a former senior official with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) who served below the Obama administration as a particular assistant to the president and senior director for Western Hemisphere affairs, informed Newsweek.
When it involves understanding the "push" elements, the issues that drive folks to depart their dwelling nations, that Central American migrants face, "it's pretty straightforward," Feierstein mentioned.
"For most, it's two things in particular—it's crime and violence and it's poverty," he mentioned. "These countries are facing high rates of violence and severe economic crises, including lack of employment and poor social services."
"They vary by country," he continued. "In Guatemala, for example, migrants tend to come from outside the major cities, from rural areas and they tend to be driven more by economic factors. In El Salvador and Honduras, they tend to come as a result of crime and violence."
Of course, as Feierstein acknowledged, "it's not as clear-cut as I'm describing it. There's a mix of these things coming from all three countries."
"In recent times, El Salvador has done the best job of trying to reduce the push factors," he mentioned. "At least, the numbers [of arrivals] have been lower from El Salvador."
However, in Honduras and Guatemala, "you have corruption in both places," he mentioned, with Honduran chief, President Juan Orlando Hernandez, profitable re-election in 2018 in a vote deemed fraudulent by his opposition and inside the worldwide neighborhood, whereas in Guatemala, President Jimmy Morales has sought to dam a United Nations-backed anti-corruption investigation into his authorities.
"That all contributes as well to people wanting to leave," Feierstein mentioned.
Another push issue sending migrants to the U.S. border, which has solely come to the fore lately, is the affect that local weather change is steadily having on Central American nations, with Guatemala and elements of Honduras significantly affected.
In September, the World Food Programme (WFP) warned that poor harvests attributable to drought in elements of Central America, may go away greater than 2 million folks hungry, with decrease than common rainfall in June and July resulting in important crop losses, significantly for smaller-scale maize and bean farmers within the so-called Dry Corridor, which runs throughout Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. As a outcome, farmers struggled to provide sufficient meals to promote, that means households have been additionally left with not sufficient meals to eat.
"Climate-related disasters are clearly becoming more frequent and causing more damage," Miguel Barreto, the WFP's regional director for Latin America and the Caribbean, mentioned on the time, in a press release supplied to the Thomson Reuters Foundation. "Projected temperature increases and rainfall shortages in the Dry Corridor are of particular concern," he warned.
The difficulty was one which even Kevin McAleenan, the then-CBP commissioner who now serves as appearing Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, warned about in December throughout a dialogue on the push and pull elements for Central American asylum seekers coming to the U.S.
"What we looked at over the last several years is really a changing demographic coming from Central America, not arriving from the big cities, but primarily, now, we're seeing from Guatemala and Honduras, folks from rural areas," McAleenan, who turned appearing DHS secretary following the resignation of Kirstjen Nielsen, mentioned on the time.
Significant challenges with meals safety because of drought, McAleenan mentioned, have been "affecting the ability of families to provide for themselves."
"We're seeing that directly translate into who's arriving at our border," he mentioned. "About 30 percent of the arrivals last year were from Guatemala and the vast majority of those arrivals were from the Western Highlands. We're also seeing the rural areas of Honduras coming into play here on the border with Guatemala, where they also were in that Dry Corridor that has faced drought and having challenges with food insecurity. So, really, the hunger concern has become a real prevalent push factor from our analysis and perspective."
When it involves "pull" elements, or the issues attracting Central American migrants to the U.S., Feierstein mentioned, the most important attracts of shifting to America ought to be comparatively apparent.
"The disparities between the wealthy United States and the poverty in some of these countries" alone, Feierstein mentioned, "is going to lead to migration."
However, within the U.S., many Central Americans fleeing violence, poverty and political instability additionally see the promise of a rustic the place security and safety are inside attain.

'We're not going to unravel this on the border'
Still, the Trump administration, Feierstein mentioned, seems decided to do all the pieces inside its energy to discourage asylum seekers from believing that could be the case.
"This administration has it backwards," he mentioned. Instead of serving to Central American nations to handle the "push" elements driving residents to make the tough journey to the U.S. border, the trump administration has, arguably, exacerbated the state of affairs by "pulling back funding to deal with these problems."
In June, the Trump administration introduced it might be slicing lots of of thousands and thousands of {dollars} in help to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, regardless of warnings from migration consultants that doing so would solely contribute to instability within the Northern Triangle.
President Donald Trump and his administration Feierstein mentioned, "have no sense of the value of foreign assistance… They have no sense of how to use it."
"Trump sees it as a cheque we're handing over to foreign governments," he mentioned, when in actuality, the funding is funnelled into applications developed between governments, NGOs and different teams with perception into the right way to tackle the problems Central American nations at present face.
While Democrats and immigration advocacy teams alike have accused President Donald Trump of deliberately working to create a "crisis" on the border to stoke immigration fears and drive help amongst his base, Feierstein mentioned he isn't so positive that such a method, if that's the case, will work in 2020.
"There is an argument that this works to his political benefit, to have people show up [at the border,] Feierstein said. But, "he is not lowering the numbers as he promised to do [in the 2016 election race.]"
Ultimately, Feierstein mentioned, "what folks ought to concentrate on is that we have to get to the basis causes of this. We're not going to unravel this on the border."
"People aren't going to cease coming, no matter no matter limitations we put up," he mentioned.
"Americans want to bear in mind how tough and harmful these journeys are—but, persons are doing it anyway," he continued. "That ought to offer you an thought of how terrible the state of affairs is of their dwelling nations."
"The overwhelming majority of persons are sincere, hardworking individuals who simply wish to contribute to the American financial system and society. They aren't coming right here to commit crimes," he mentioned.

Mental Illnesses Among Some of America's Most Infamous Serial Killers
by kfwilliams
Psychologists have spent decades studying the brains of known serial killers in an attempt to understand what makes them become such vicious killers. While mental illnesses were found in some of America's most loathsome killers, it's important to note that most people suffering from these illnesses do not commit any violent offenses.
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels and behaves. Symptoms range from hallucinations and delusions to emotional flatness and catatonia. It is one of the most common mental disorder diagnosed among criminals, especially serial killers.
David Berkowitz: "Son of Sam" killed six people during the 1970s. After he was caught, he claimed that his neighbor's dog told him to do it. He was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
David Gonzalez: killed four people in 2009 and claimed he was inspired by Nightmare on Elm Street. Gonzalez had previously been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia but wasn't properly treated.
Ed Gein: the inspiration for fiction's Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill and Leatherface. Interestingly enough, after being diagnosed with schizophrenia and pronounced insane, he was a 'model patient' while sentenced to life imprisonment in psychiatric institutions.
James Eagan Holmes: Mass murderer currently serving 12 life sentences plus 3,318 years without parole. Holmes was diagnosed with schizophrenia by 20 doctors after killing 12 people and injuring 70 in a Century 16 movie theater in 2012.
Jared Lee Loughner: the mass killer who gunned down Representative Gabby Giffords and 18 others outside a Tucson-area supermarket in 2011. Loughner apparently wrote a chilling poem, that included a reference to the slaying of Present John F. Kennedy, for the event and left copies at the crime scene. After his arrest, two medical evaluations diagnosed him with paranoid schizophrenia.
Richard Chase: "the vampire of Sacramento" killed six people in California and drank their blood. Before his murder spree began in 1977, he was involuntarily committed to a mental institution after being taken to a hospital for injecting rabbit's blood into his veins. He was discharged the year prior, after undergoing treatment for paranoid schizophrenia and being deemed as 'no longer a danger to society'.
Characterized by impulsive behaviors, intense mood swings, feelings of low self-worth and problems in interpersonal relationships, borderline personality disorder seems more common among female criminals.
Aileen Wuornos: the woman who inspired the 2003 film "Monster" starring Charlize Theron, confessed to seven murders in Florida. Afterward, she was diagnosed with borderline personality by the state's expert psychologist.
Jeffrey Dahmer: the "Milwaukee Cannibal" was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after standing trial for seventeen murders. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. However, Dahmer was murdered two years later by a fellow inmate who alleged that he was disturbed not only by Dahmer's crimes but by a habit Dahmer developed of fashioning severed limbs from prison food to antagonize other inmates.
Kristen H. Gilbert: killed four patients at the Northampton VA hospital, where she worked at, in order to gain the attention of a VA police officer she was having an affair with. Before the murders, she had been a patient at psychiatric hospitals in the area and was eventually diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Known in the past as "psychopathy," this mental disorder is characterized by a total lack of remorse and disregard of the feelings of others. People with APD may lie, act out violently, or break the law. While it's reported that APD only affects 0.6% of the population, it may affect up to 47% of male inmates and 21% of female inmates. It's also been diagnosed among three of the most ruthless serial killers.
Charles Manson: leader of the "Manson Family" was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder after showing signs of the condition throughout his life. The first documented instance of this occurred when Manson was in first grade. He would recruit gullible classmates, mostly girls, to attack the students he didn't like. Afterward, he'd swear to teachers that his kid followers were just doing what they wanted.
John Wayne Gacy: the "Killer Clown" raped and killed 33 boys and young men. Unremorseful until the end, Gacy's final words before being executed by lethal injection on May 10, 1994, were "Kiss my ass."
Ted Bundy: an infamous killer and necrophile, who confessed to 30 murders in the 1970s, although he told his lawyer the number was closer to 100. Recently, a group of 73 psychologists got together with the University of Kentucky and agreed that Bundy had antisocial personality disorder. In fact, 80% of the team believe Bundy to be the perfect example of the disorder.

Q: self join with a self-referring condition What I want to do is to get all records that have almost exact duplicates except that duplicates don't have an extra char at the beginning of 'name'
this is my sql query:
select * from tags as spaced inner join tags as not_spaced on not_spaced.name = substring(spaced.name, 2);

also I tried:
 select * from tags as spaced where (select count(*) from tags as not_spaced where not_spaced.name = substring(spaced.name, 2)) > 0;

What I'm getting is... the SQL connection stops responding.
Thanks!
p.s. Sorry I haven't mentioned that the only field I need is name. All other fields are insignificant (if present).

A: Try something like this:
select all potentially duplicated fields except name , name
from tags union all

select all potentially duplicated fields except name , substring(name, 2) name
from tags

group by all potentially duplicated fields including name
having count(*) > 1

A: If the tables are very large, make an index on name and substring(name,2) to make it faster:
select t1.* from tags t1
inner join tags t2 on t1.name = substring(t2.name, 2)

A: Even with an Index, your query will require every record in spaced to be checked against every record in tags.
If each table has 1,000 records, that's 1,000,000 combinations.

You may be better off creating a temporary table with just two fields spaced.id, substring(t2.name, 2) as shortname, then index the shortname field.  Joining on that temporary and indexed table will be much much faster.

A: Without knowing the DB, how the tables are indexed, etc, it's just trying different things until one gets better optimized...
Here is another query you can try:
SELECT name, count(*) c FROM (
    SELECT name FROM tags
    UNION ALL
    SELECT substring(name, 2) AS name FROM tags
) AS t
GROUP BY name

The Motley Fool Canada » Investing » Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB) Beats Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX:WEED) in Alberta
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB) Beats Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX:WEED) in Alberta
Brian Paradza, CFA | July 9, 2018 | More on: APHA CGC APHA LEAF WEED
Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX:WEED)(NYSE:CGC) and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB) are among the 13 cannabis licensed producers selected by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) as preferred suppliers of recreational marijuana to the province of Alberta out of a total of 31 interested applicants.
Canopy Growth was among the first to update the market about the new deal in a press release on July 5, revealing that the cannabis giant has been allowed to supply 15,000 kg of cannabis to Alberta in the first six months of recreational sales and claiming that the agreement was "the largest of its kind in Canada."
That was indeed very true … but for a limited time. Its close competoitor announced a 67%-bigger deal just eight minutes later.
Aurora announced a similar agreement with the AGLC to supply cannabis products for the adult consumer use market in the province, and the aggressively growing marijuana firm "will initially allocate up to 25,000 kg of product" for the first six months of sales to the Alberta market.
Effectively, Aurora may be able to supply up to 50,000 kg of cannabis products to Alberta in the first 12 months of recreational marijuana sales, and that's a significantly bigger deal than the 30,000 kg that Canopy contracted for with the AGLC.
Why did Aurora get more?
Irrespective of the fact that Canopy has the highest productive capacity for cannabis cultivation right now, the AGLC, which is responsible for regulating private retail cannabis licensing, distribution of cannabis to retail stores, and operation of the online cannabis store, is very much inclined to support local Alberta-based growers.
In fact, the AGLC's announcement on the supply deals explained that the provincial body "will continue to engage additional LPs as they become federally licensed, specifically Alberta-based producers."
On one hand, Aurora is based in Alberta and has three grow facilities in the province, including the 800,000-square-foot Aurora Sky at Edmonton airport, which is almost complete, and a larger Aurora Sun, which is under construction. On the other hand, Canopy is based in Ontario but has a planned 100,000-square-foot facility in Edmonton that is under construction and shall be operated under a 20-year lease from the Goldman Group.
It appears that one is more invested in Alberta than the other, and the former was more than a favourite to win the lion's share in the province.

Aphria Inc. (TSX:APH) was a contender in Alberta too, and it managed to get a small quota of 870 kg and did not divulge whether this is per annum or over six months. MedReleaf Corp. (TSX:LEAF) got something too, but no numbers were revealed in its press release. However small the MedReleaf quota will be, it's all good news for Aurora, its soon-to-be parent company.
The only other selected supplier to reveal deal numbers was Maricann Holdings Inc. (TSXV:MARI), which will be able to supply 3,375 kg equivalents of recreational cannabis products to Alberta in the first six months of sales.
The other successful applicants were ABCann Global, The Supreme Cannabis Co. (7 Acres), Newstrike Resources Inc.(UP Cannabis), Organigram, WeedMD, CannTrust Holdings Inc. Emblem Corp., and Starseed Medicinal Inc.
As previously discussed, the strength of a cannabis player's supply contracts and the depth and reliance in its distribution channels will play a crucial role in generating required revenue and profitability growth necessary to defend current high valuation multiples.
Productive capacity alone may not guarantee success in the budding industry, while everyone else is scaling up their productive facilities in anticipation of the great sales boom after recreational sales begin on October 17 this year.
