Perinatal and Mood Disorder Treatments
“It is the vision of PSI that every woman and family worldwide will have access to information, social support, and informed professional care to deal with mental health issues related to childbearing. PSI promotes this vision through advocacy and collaboration, and by educating and training the professional community and the public.”
What is Perinatal Mood Disorder Treatment?
Postpartum Support International (PSI) brings together families, communities, and professionals working to support families during pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and the postpartum period. Childbearing can bring an onset of various symptoms before, during, and after pregnancy.
The perinatal period is the time from from conception through the first year after giving birth and considers risks at any stage to include fluctuations in hormones in pregnancy, post-birth, onset and weaning of lactation, re-emergence of menstruation, onset and/or relapses in mental health disorders, and more.
Perinatal or postpartum mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD) is the term used to describe distressing feelings that occur during pregnancy (perinatal) and throughout the first year after pregnancy (postpartum or postnatal). Feelings can be mild, moderate, or severe.
We are here to help. It indeed takes a village! You are not alone.
Parent and Caregiver Roles Defined
PMADs can impact anyone and everyone involved in the childbearing process. The following are the definitions are some parent and caregiver titles:
- Intended Caregiver(s): Who the baby is going home with (i.e., biological, adoptive, fostering, etc.)
- Relinquishing Caregiver(s): Person(s) placing the baby in another home (i.e., Surrogacy, giving their baby to Intended Caregivers via adoption, etc.)
- Adoptees: Adopted child(ren)
PMAD Can Affect Anyone
PMADs do NOT discriminate, can impact anyone, and socioeconomical status is NOT protective. The risks of untreated PMADs can impact things such as:
- Relationship issues
- Poor adherence to medical care
- Exacerbation of medical and mental health conditions
- Loss of interpersonal and financial resources
- Disability/unemployment, child neglect and abuse, developmental delays and behavioral problems
- Increase in substance use, infanticide, homicide, and suicide
- Entering parenthood creates unavoidable adjustments, challenges, assumptions, and expectations
PMAD Risk Factors
Exacerbating Psychosocial risk factors of PMADs can include:
- Inadequate or nonexistent partner/social support
- Other relationship stressors and complex developmental trauma
- Financial stressors such as poverty
- Childcare stressors
- Recent losses or moving
- Barriers to medical and mental healthcare
- Systemic and institutional racism and discrimination
- Climate stressors, natural disasters, pandemics
- Seasonal Depression and/or Mania
- Complications in fertility, pregnancy, birthing, breastfeeding, etc.
- Health challenges for anyone involved, including the baby and its treatment
- Returning to work
- Unresolved grief or loss
- Miscarriage and abortion
Statistics from Landmark Studies of US Mothers
- 21.9% had depression during the first year of postpartum
- Of those 21.9% of women:
- 26.5% of the episodes began BEFORE pregnancy
- 33.4% of the episodes had their ONSET DURING PREGNANCY
- 40.1% of the episodes began DURING THE POSTPARTUM PERIOD
- Of those 21.9% of women:
- 68.5% had a primary diagnosis of unipolar depression
- 66% with Major Depressive Disorder (MMD) had comorbid anxiety disorders, most commonly Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- 22.6% were diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder
- 19.3% encoursed thoughts of harming themselves
Medications: 26% of those who continued their medication relapsed in pregnancy; 68% of those who DISCONTINUED their medication relapsed in pregnancy. Chances of relapse are strongest during the postpartum period.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Prevalence of PMAD in Fathers
In national studies reported in 2006-2010, 10% of new fathers scored int he range of moderate to severe depression. Maternal depressional increased the risk of paternal depression and was the strongest predictor of paternal depression even beyond the father’s own history of depression. Factors in Partner Depression: Feeling burndened or trapped; Financial responsibility pressure; Feeling outside of the circle of connection; Missing sexual intimacy; Sleep depirvation; Isolation and loneliness; Loss of their partner and closest friend due to pregnancy; Poor social support network and societal stigma
Society views men as stoic, self-sacrificing, and above all, strong. When men feel none of those things as new fathers, they don’t want to admit it or seek help. For this reason, Postpartum Support International is an enthusiastic supporter of IFMHD as a means to take a whole-family, father-inclusive approach by shedding light on the best practices and related resources for dads, their partners, and those who support them. Founded by paternal postpartum depression survivor Mark Williams and fatherhood mental health expert and PSI board member Dr. Daniel Singley, IFMHD involves taking the day after Father’s Day to launch a focused social media campaign which highlights key aspects of fathers’ mental health.
LGBTQIA+ PMAD Experience
Queer people’s experiences of conception, birth, and parenting are under-recorded and under-researched. Research on pregnancy continues to be centered within heterosexual relationships. Lesbian women in the postpartum period reported a higher prevalence of PMADs and increased rates attempting/considering suicide. Bisexual women in the postpartum period reported an increased risk of PMADs if currently partnered with a man compared to with a woman. Queer people’s experiences of conception, birth, and parenting are under-recorded and under-researched. Research on pregnancy continues to be centered within heterosexual relationships. Numbers of LGBTQIA+ people having babies is unknown in most countries due to universal data rarely being collected on the gender or sexual orientation of those who are pregnant or their partners.
Gay male parents reported LESS positive feelings at the end of pregnancy when compared to lesbian mothers and MORE positive feelings about parenthood in the early postpartum weeks when compared to heterosexual parents. No research focusing on gay men’s experiences of or involvement int he actual surrogate pregnancy and birth have been undertaken. Information on the new fathers’ perinatal mental health is scarce and deserves recognition and services.
Trans Gestational Parents need more esearch to determine prevalence rates. Baseline depression and suicide rates among transgener indidvidual are higher than adult average. Anxiety is three ties higher in transgender persons. Increased discriminiation, insufficient healthcare provider training and awreness, lack of societal andor familial support. PMADs may be more prevalent in trans gestational parents.
PMAD and Persons of Color
Explaining the injustices of perinantal mental health in People of Color (POC) is difficult to say the least. There is evergrowing concern for black and brown women, men, and families who are in the midst of enduring and absorbing generaltional traumas and systemic racism.
PSI has always been committed to helping Black families, yet this moment is without a doubt a renewed call to action in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. These statistics are not new but important to share – and they remain unacceptable as ever:
- CDC data confirms that Black women are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications, and twice as likely to lose an infant to premature death.
- According to the NIH, Black mothers are several times more likely to suffer from Postpartum Depression but less likely to receive treatment and follow-up.
- During COVID-19, we are painfully aware that Black persons are at significantly greater risk of contracting the potentially deadly virus and less likely to receive proper treatment, due to the same root causes of the effects of long-standing racism in social and healthcare systems.
- Compared with White mothers, mothers of color say they were not always able to complete the recommended series of prenatal visits, mainly because of lack of transportation or scheduling conflicts.
- Compared with White and Hispanic mothers, Black mothers report feeling their provider did not spend enough time with them and have lower confidence they will receive the care they need or cannot openly speak about their pregnancies.
It is imperative that we do our part to fight racism and improve these unjust outcomes!

Vienna-based Brazilian Joyce Muniz returns to 20:20 Vision for the first time since 2012 with "Soundomatic", a warm and fluid trip into late night deep house territory. Blessed with toasty chords, cut-up vocal samples, nagging sub, crunchy beats and a whisper of acid freakery, "Soundomatic" harks back to the halcyon days of house while sounding impressively fresh. Rising star Kyodai remixes, giving Muniz's original a more organic flavour thanks to some lush Rhodes keys and heady, Larry Heard-influenced electronics. Also included are two decent bonus cuts; the rave-era bagginess of "Brightness" and "Back To Back", a wide-eyed chunk of new age-influenced Balearic deep house.

The memories of my family’s new year’s VASILOPITA cake (celebrating Saint Basil) were it’s density and compactness, with the occasional large air bubbles appearing throughout its crumb, it’s tenderness and its moistness and the magical intermingling aromas of mastic resin, mahlab kernels, orange zests, nutmeg and cognac, and of course, the hope, that the winner of the hidden prize inside would get their new year’s wishes granted !
A “vasilopita” is a Greek as well as an Eastern European and Balkan traditional winter holiday cake, whether it’s a denser cake or a lighter & higher sweetened bread or even a flatter pie. It is what establishes the rhythm of the New Year, eaten at midnight for the bravest, or the morning after New Year’s Eve, for the more reasonable.
It always contains one coin or a trinket to be discovered, thus granting good luck to the winner for the rest of the year. A cross is etched on the surface and then the slices are cut and attributed to each person present as well as one slice for a symbolic guest or presence.
It’s an easy cake to make but I find that the best method to use is the reverse-creaming method. What does this imply ? Doing things backwards, in fact. Instead of beating the butter with the sugar, then adding the eggs and alternating the additions of the dry ingredients with the rest of the liquid ingredients, the reverse-creaming method regroups all the dry ingredients together, including the sugar, and then combines them with the butter, and then the other liquid ingredients, such as the eggs, buttermilk, orange juice, cognac and vanilla are added at the end. This method provides a denser cake with a tighter crumb and a flatter result, with less doming.
Of course, this approach is much easier in a large food processor, allowing you to coat the dry ingredients with the fat of the butter, somewhat like making pie dough or an easier version of puff-pastry. Both methods work and I show you both options but I have a preference for the food processor method for its ease as well as more satisfying end result.
The combined flavors of the mastic resin, mahlab kernels (reminiscent of cherry and almond), the orange zest, the nutmeg as well as orange and cognac, are reminiscent of Easter bread, but still different.
The final touch is often a sprinkling of icing sugar but I prefer a thicker coating of icing sugar and milk glazing and when that’s dry, a finishing sprinkling of dry icing sugar, like a coat of freshly fallen snow.
HAPPY NEW YEAR my dears and best wishes to all … :)

TOYS surrounded the Steinway Piano as Liverpool-born comedian and Radio Lancashire broadcaster Ted Robbins injected his own wit and humour into the tale of Sparkyés Magic Piano.
It was humour which appealed to both young and old in the audience with local adages ranging from events in village halls in Salford to the Les Dawson school of piano.
And with everything from the étexting culture outside the off licencesé to éeveryone was there, footballers, celebrities, even the presenters from Channel Fourés RI:SEé, it had enough popular culture to keep the kids entertained.
The tale of Manchester lad Sparky, a boy who hates doing his piano practice, was updated and written by Robbins.
Sparky, played by 15-year-old David Schofield from Chethamés School of Music, came onto the stage, dressed in a Manchester United shirt, dribbling a football, before kicking into the auditorium.
The story goes that Sparkyés piano talks to him and agrees to play the notes for him. But Sparkyés ego takes over as he discovers fame and fortune which results in disaster, when, at the biggest event of his life é at the Bridgewater Hall no less! é the piano refuses to play for him and he is exposed.
The lighting was used to good effect é as the piano spoke (well really it was Ted Robbins in a Smurf-like voice) it was lit up with flashing lights, and the spotlight travelled from Sparky to narrator.
The music was well-performed by students of Chethamés School plus a few professional musicians who had given their time for free to the performance. From the overture to piano concertos by Tchaikovsky, Grieg, plus Gershwinés Rapsody in Blue, the sound captured the young audience for the full hour-long performance.
But it was Schofield who was the star of the show. His fluency and dexterity had us listening in awe. It is likely that such a talented musician will take to the international stage before long.
It was a delight to see so many young children experiencing classical music through an exciting story, and credit is due to Ted Robbins for his approachable adaptation.

Section I-A: Physical Characteristics of Pellets
Section I-A-01: Diameter
The average diameter of a BB tends to be a little less than 6mm but for all practical purposes we’ll use a diameter of 6mm. I did separate calculations using a diameter of 5.90 mm and determined that the results were so similar that it wasn’t worth modifying -- I kept it at 6mm.
For comparison’s sake, I’ve included the diameter’s of standard BB's as well as paintballs:
|Type||Diameter (mm)||Caliber||Frontal Area ( mm2 )||Frontal Area ( m2 )|
|Airsoft - Large||8||0.315||50.27||0.0000503|
Section I-A-02: Density / Volume and Terminal Velocity
Calculating density D as
D = M / VHere are densities of various airgun projectiles:
|Type||Diameter (mm)||Mass (grams)||Mass (grains)||Volume ( m3 )||Density ( kg /m3 )||Terminal Velocity|
|Airsoft - Large||8||0.34||5.2||0.0000002680||1269||50.1||34.1|
|Airsoft - Large||8||0.45||6.9||0.0000002680||1679||57.6||39.3|
|Daisy Heavy BB||4.5||0.45||6.9||0.0000000477||10689||102.4||69.8|
* Pellets range from about 5 to 9 grains; 7.9 is by no means the weight of all pellets. Additionally, because of the non-uniform shape of pellets, it's impossible to accurately calculate volume and density (without using AutoCAD).
Notice that 8mm BB's, though heavier, are still less dense as compared to 0.20g 6mm BB's.
To give you an idea of other densities, at sea level and 15 C, air density is 1.225 kg /m3, which is nearly a thousand times less dense than even 0.12g BB's. Just for the sake of comparison, here are some other densities: fresh water (1000 kg /m3) and salt water (1027 kg /m3), which is why even 0.12g BB'swill sink in water. As an additional comparison, the density of different 0.177” bb’s ranges from 6916 to 10689 kg /m3 whereas a standard paintball has a density of 1201 kg /m3 .
It is interesting to note that the terminal velocity of 0.20g 6mm BB's is slightly over 50 fps. I have read where people state that an airsoft pellet, when fired straight upward, will land with the same velocity that it was fired at. This is erroneous thinking. After reaching the apex in its trajectory, a BB will accelerated downward until it reaches its terminal velocity. This phenomena is best illustrated in paintball. A paintball may be fired skyward at over 300 fps, but lands it such a low velocity that it often bounces off of the ground as opposed to shattering. The reason for this is that the paintball -- fired upward at 300 fps -- falls at its terminal velocity, or roughly 70 fps.
(Just for greater explanation, terminal velocity is NOT the maximum speed of a projectile, but rather the velocity of a falling object wherein the force of gravity is negated by the force of drag. Once an object in free fall reaches its terminal velocity, it will not fall any faster.).

Are you ready to bring more awareness to your brand? Consider becoming a sponsor for The AI Impact Tour. Learn more about the opportunities here.
San Francisco-based Databricks, a company that combines the capabilities of a data warehouse and data lake in a single “lakehouse” architecture, today announced a new industry-specific offering: Lakehouse for Financial Services.
Available generally starting today, the fully integrated platform follows the launch of Lakehouse for Retail a month ago. It has been tailor-made using a multi-cloud approach to meet the unique technical, business, and regulatory requirements of companies operating in banking, insurance, and capital markets and help them drive maximum value from their data assets.
A number of financial services players have already signed up for the product, including TD Bank and Gemini.
“Databricks Lakehouse for Financial Services enables Gemini to bring together data ingestion, machine learning, and analytical engineering onto a single platform,” Sri Rajappa, head of data at Gemini, said.
The AI Impact Tour
Connect with the enterprise AI community at VentureBeat’s AI Impact Tour coming to a city near you!
“That means various personas on our team, from data engineers, ML engineers to analytical engineers, can do everything from solving complex data engineering problems to building efficient AI models to providing easy access to the underlying datasets using SQL, Python, and Scala. This significantly accelerates the time it takes for us to solve our most pressing business problems,” he added.
Lakehouse for Financial Services: What’s special?
In addition to the capabilities that Databricks’ lakehouse is known for, meaning real-time analytics, business intelligence (BI), and AI, the industry-specific offering provides enterprises with vetted data model frameworks, partner solutions, and 14 pre-built accelerators and open-source libraries.
The accelerators and libraries jumpstart the analytics process for critical industry use cases, including post-trade analysis, market surveillance, transaction enrichment, fraud detection and prevention, and regulatory reporting. Meanwhile, the partner solutions include offerings from Deloitte and Avanade. The former offers a cloud-based, curated data platform to help financial institutions intelligently organize data domains and approved provisioning points, and the latter provides a risk management platform that enables firms to rapidly deploy data into value-at-risk models to keep up with emerging risks and threats.
Notably, the vertical-specific lakehouse also comes integrated with FINOS’ Legend platform to facilitate the processing and exchange of financial data throughout the entire banking ecosystem and help develop next-generation industry standards. Plus, it uses the Delta Sharing protocol with leading financial data providers like Nasdaq, Factset, and Intercontinental Exchange to make it easier for enterprises to consume, share, and monetize data.
“For Financial Service Institutions around the world looking to modernize and innovate, the two most important assets are no longer its capital or sheer scale, but its data and its people,” said Junta Nakai, the global head for financial services & sustainability at Databricks.
“The Databricks Lakehouse for Financial Services brings these two critical resources together on a secure, collaborative, and open source-based data platform that allows FSIs to leverage data across clouds and drive innovation with AI,” he added.
The launch of lakehouse for financial services further strengthens Databricks’ offering for enterprises. The company, which was valued at $38 billion following its last fund-raise in August 2021, goes against the likes of players such as Snowflake, Dremio, and Google BigQuery.
Snowflake, in particular, has been a major rival for Databricks. The Montana-based company, a data warehouse provider in the beginning, already offers a product for financial services and has lately been adding data lake-specific features with the expansion to AI and ML use-cases and unstructured data among other things. The company also challenged Databricks’ recent performance claims.
VentureBeat's mission is to be a digital town square for technical decision-makers to gain knowledge about transformative enterprise technology and transact. Discover our Briefings.

A 'Grande' weekend for Bulls in sweep of IceRays
The word perfect gets thrown around often in sports, but the Amarillo Bulls were a perfect 2-0 this weekend against the Corpus Christi IceRays thanks to the perfect play of goalie Jason Grande.
Grande, in his first season with the Bulls, did not give up a goal in the two games, leading the Bulls to 4-0 and 1-0 wins, stopping all 66 shots he faced on the weekend.
The pair of wins moves the Bulls to 7-3-2-1 on the season, good for 17 points.
“He’s awesome,” Bulls assistant coach David Nies, who was in charge of the team with head coach Rocky Russo away, said of the team’s top netminder. “Jason Grande is a big-time player, we knew that. He’s unflappable, he’s been awesome the entire year, he makes it look easy, and he’s just a big-time player.”
Grande’s stellar played helped the Bulls kill of all 12 Corpus Christi power plays this weekend, and moving the Bulls into the Top-10 in the league while down a man, killing off 84.4 percent of their short-handed chances.
“Sometimes the best penalty kill is a good goalie,” Nies said. “And we had that.”
Grande is now 6-2 on the season for the Bulls, those six wins are tied for sixth in the NAHL. Couple that with a 2.13 goals against average, ninth in the league, and a .934 save percentage, sixth in the league, and Grande has started to turns heads outside the NAHL.
Head coach Rocky Russo said earlier in the season that Grande was measured by scouts at NHL Advanced Scouting, putting him on the radar as a potential NHL Draftee in the future.
But according to Nies and the Bulls coaching staff, part of what has made him so great this season is the push from backup goalie Alexie Masanko, who battles Grande each day in practice.
“I can’t talk too much about (Grande) without talking about (Alexie) Masanko behind him too,” Nies added. “He pushes him every day in practice and we think very highly of him as well. Alexie is somebody who has come in and won games for us, the thing is, they both know that if they lose the job at any point the other will step right up. They push each other and that’s what makes them great. We like both our goalies, but Grande stole the show this weekend.”
The pair of wins was also big for the entire Bulls organization, who played with head coach Rocky Russo on their minds. Rocky was away from the team tending to his family back in Ohio following the loss of his father, Ronald, just over a week ago.
“It was huge, it was for Rocky,” Nies said of the sweep. “It was the easiest game I’ve ever had to coach and get the guys up for, because we’ve been up all week. We’re hoping he comes back soon, but we’ll play our butts off until he gets back, and that’s the mindset, we’re doing this for Rocky and his family.”
The Bulls will look to carry the momentum of this weekend’s wins into a pair of games at home this Thursday and Friday against the defending Robertson Cup Champion Lone Star Brahmas. This will be the second series of the season between the two teams, with each team earning a win in a pair of games in early October in Amarillo.
Thursday’s game will be the first Thirsty Thursday of the year, with $2.50 beers and sodas available throughout the game.
Friday’s game will be Military Appreciation Night, with the Bulls wearing special patriotic uniforms that will be auctioned off after the game for the America Celebrate Honor and Serve charity. In addition to the jersey auction, the game will feature a Great American Patriot Award Ceremony, the Volleys for Veterans color guard, Amarillo Firefighters Pipes & Drums performance, and a military enlistment ceremony.

text: BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the disease specific functional status of patients with oral cancer treated by primary surgery. The University of Washington head and neck cancer questionnaire (UW-QOL) was used, and outcome was compared against patient's age, sex, T category, site, surgical procedure, and adjuvant radiotherapy. METHODS In the year 1995, consecutive patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the oral region were recruited. Questionnaires were given at four time intervals: preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS Fifty patients underwent primary surgery for oral cancer between 4 January and 12 December 1995. Of 48 patients recruited, 41 (85%) had microvascular free tissue reconstruction. Patients with T category 3 or 4 tumors tended to report more severe problems than did patients with T category 1 or 2 tumors; this was especially true for increased pain (p <.001). There was a marked fall in cumulative UW-QOL scores by 3 months, with some recovery to 12 months. Of the initial 48 patients, 29 (60%) were alive and disease free at 1 year, and there were 25 completed questionnaires. The trend at 1 year was for better scores in women, T category 1 and 2, anterior oral cavity, primary closure/laser treatments, and patients not requiring adjuvant radiotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing surgery for oral cancer have a profound fall in quality of life scores by 3 months, and their scores approach pretreatment levels by 12 months. Clinical parameters are useful in predicting trends in UW-QOL outcome at 1 year and are also associated with differences in individual domain scores.

John Lewis set for store closures, job cuts and no bonus
The chairwoman of the John Lewis Partnership has told staff she plans to cut jobs, shut more stores and slash its much-prized employee bonus to zero.
Dame Sharon White, 52, has written to staff confirming their fears that it is “highly unlikely that we will reopen all our John Lewis stores”. The department store chain has reopened 31 shops, and will reopen its store on Oxford Street on July 16, but the remaining 18 shops are under threat, with retail sources saying up to ten stores could close.
It is understood that John Lewis’s Birmingham store is one of the most at risk, despite it only opening in 2015 with huge fanfare after a £35 million investment. The outlet had been seen by some retail

DOM PIPKIN: One of Europe’s most authentic and spirited blues and jazz piano players
“The soul of New Orleans in the UK” Dom Pipkin is at the forefront of musicians keeping the classic New Orleans sound alive. With fans ranging from Eric Bibb to Jamie Cullum and Hugh Laurie, Pipkin has played piano all over the world, sharing stages with Allen Toussaint, Dr John , Marcia Ball and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. He has made countless radio and television appearances, and has worked with renowned artists from Pee Wee Ellis, Zigaboo Modeliste from the Meters, to Talking Head’s David Byrne. He played piano privately for the late film director Stanley Kubrick. When not performing solo or with his band The Ikos, Pipkin continues to tour with 90s trip hop stars Morcheeba, on whose album “Big Calm” he recorded keyboards.
Studying jazz at the Royal Academy of Music, Pipkin has gone on to perform at piano and blues festivals everywhere – he held a residency at London’s Ronnie Scott’s club, and has performed at the world-renown “Piano Night” in New Orleans, as well as at the prestigious “Booker Back Bar Sessions” at the Maple Leaf Bar, honouring the legacy of pianist James Booker. He also performed many live sessions around the release of “Bayou Maharajah” , including its world premiere in SXSW, Texas, the movie depicting the work of this exceptional musician. He has appeared with local artists at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, headlined the UK Boogie Woogie Festival in 2019, is headlining the Steinway Two Piano Festival in London 2020, and when not travelling and is continually found playing, teaching and writing around his home city.
He is acknowledged by both public and fellow piano players as one of the very the finest in his genre, with a wildness and fire in his playing that “builds to a fever pitch and leaves the audience dancing and clapping for more” – Classic Rock Blues.

For Australia, Usman Khawaja played brilliant innings of 160 runs while Alex Carey scored 93 and Smith 72. For Pakistan, Faheem Ashraf took two wickets for 55 runs.
By the end of the second day of the second Test match between Pakistan and Australia, the visitors scored 505 runs for the loss of 8 wickets while Mitchell Starc was present for 28 not out and Cummins batting with him.
By the end of the second day’s play, Mitchell Starc was on 28 and Pat Cummins was on the wicket without scoring a run. Australia started the second day’s play with 215 for 3 in their first incomplete innings while Usman Khawaja was batting at 127 and Nathan Lyon at zero.
Both the batsmen put their team ahead but Nathan Lyon scored 38 runs off 304 balls and was bowled by Faheem Ashraf. The next Australian to be dismissed was Travis Head, who was dismissed for 23. He was dismissed by Sajid Khan.
Usman Khawaja bowled Sajid Khan’s ball after playing a brilliant 160-run inning. With a memorable 160-run innings in Karachi where he has a family connection, he became the first Pakistani to score a century after Mark Waugh’s 117. Became an Australian player. Cameron Green was bowled by Noman Ali for an individual score of 28.
Alex Carey played an innings of 93 runs and was bowled by Babar Azam. For Pakistan, Faheem Ashraf and Sajid Khan took two wickets each while Noman Ali, Hassan Ali, and Babar Azam took one wicket each.
The first day of the second Test match against Pakistan was in the name of Australia and thanks to the century of Usman Khawaja the visiting team scored 251 runs for the loss of 3 wickets.
In the second Test match of the series being played at the National Stadium in Karachi, Australia captain Pat Cummins decided to bat after winning the toss.
Earlier in the toss, Australia captain Pat Cummins had said that it looks like a good wicket and we will try to score big, we have included Mitchell Swapson in our team. Pakistan captain Babar Azam had said that this is the traditional wicket of Karachi which will help the spinners later.
Two changes were made in the Pakistan team for the match and Faheem Ashraf and Hassan Ali were made part of the final XI in place of Iftikhar Ahmed and Naseem Shah.
It should be noted that the first Test match of the series played between the two teams in Rawalpindi was drawn.
Both teams consist of these players for the match.
Pakistan: Babar Azam (Captain), Abdullah Shafiq, Imam-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali, Fawad Alam, Muhammad Rizwan, Fahim Ashraf, Hassan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Sajid Khan, Noman Ali.
Australia: Pat Cummins (captain), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marin Lubushin, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey, Mitchell Stark, Nathan Lane, Josh Hazelwood, and Mitchell Swapson.


Across the country, more and more intersections are being equipped with photosensors that watch day and night for drivers who ignore traffic signals. These “red light cameras” snap a picture of the offender’s license plate and a citation is mailed to them. If you have found yourself in receipt of such a ticket, it’s something that you can’t ignore.
The number of communities that employ red light cameras is growing rapidly. Opinion concerning their popularity is divided. Some believe they are being installed with an eye to public safety while others think it is simply an easy means for a municipality to generate revenue. While many motorists are engaged in debating these tickets every day, there is one notable case in Oregon that has inflated to a first amendment issue.
How Do They Work?
The theory behind a red light camera system is simple. The cameras are programmed to snap a picture as the traffic light changes from yellow to red. Images captured of cars still in the intersection are then reviewed to determine if a violation has occurred. In the event of a violation, a citation is issued.
Once the ticket has been issued, the driver is faced with the same options available to drivers who have received their ticket in the “usual style.” The driver will have a prescribed amount of time to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty or no contest.
A not guilty plea will require the setting of a court date to attempt to prove innocence. It should be noted that it ‘s hard to refute photo evidence so drivers should be confident that the ticket was indeed written by mistake or that there was an excellent reason for the violation. If the driver’s not guilty plea is overturned, payment of the fine must be made. Depending on the judge, the final penalty paid may ultimately be more or less than the original stated amount.
Should You Pay?
It is up to the individual driver to make the call whether or not to pay a photo fine. States vary in their policies and procedures concerning nonpayment so a driver would do well to do a little homework. Otherwise, nonpayment could result in higher fines or even arrest. To prevent this possibility, it may be wise to seek the advice of an attorney.
Should a driver decide to pay, the fine can usually be remitted by mail but may require a trip to a courthouse or regional DMV office. It should be noted that a red light camera violation is a civil and not criminal matter, so such a conviction will not add points to a driver’s record.
If you wind up with one of these unpleasant surprises in your mailbox, don’t throw it out with the junk mail. Follow the guidelines above to deal with it in the manner you find most appropriate to your circumstance. And remember, the best way to guard against future surprises like this one is never to forget that a yellow light means “slow down” and not “go faster.”
If you have been ticketed in person and not by mail, consider the possibility of dismissing that ticket with a defensive driving course from ApprovedCourse.com.

Tropical Cyclone Fani made landfall on May 3 in the Odisha region of India, sweeping through thousands of villages and across vast swaths of agricultural land, destroying homes, infrastructure and livelihoods. It is estimated that more than 15 million people from 16,000 villages were affected. The Humanitarian Coalition, working through member agency Islamic Relief and supported by the government of Canada, is in India providing urgent humanitarian assistance to survivors.
Although disaster preparedness measures saved lives, many of the approximately 1.5 million people who were evacuated from their homes before the cyclone hit have nothing to go back to. Houses and roads have been destroyed, schools and hospitals are out of commission and the damage to water systems raises serious concerns about the risk of disease. Limited access to water and lack of electricity for lighting also increase the risk of violence and abuse towards girls and women as they go farther from home for work and chores.
Islamic Relief Canada has been working in India for more than 10 years and, along with a local partner, was able to respond quickly to the most urgent needs of families affected by the cyclone, especially in the Puri district of Odisha. The agency plans to continue its work over the next three months, focusing on providing shelter, and ensuring access to clean water and hygiene products. They will also provide paid work opportunities so that residents can support themselves while participating in cleaning debris from their communities.
According to CEO Zaid Al-Rawni, Islamic Relief is paying special attention to the particular needs of vulnerable populations including scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, female-headed households, the elderly, and people with disabilities, as well as the farmers who have lost their livelihoods.
“We are all very happy that the loss of life was minimal in this situation,” says Al-Rawni, “but there are still millions of people who were impacted by Cyclone Fani and will be suffering the effects for a long time to come. Islamic Relief is working hard to maintain the health and dignity of survivors – many of whom were disadvantaged even before the disaster – and help restore their livelihoods.”
Global Affairs Canada and the Humanitarian Coalition are supporting this response in India through the Canadian Humanitarian Assistance Fund (CHAF). The total contribution for the project is $350,000.

Legalized marijuana use in New York has made it farther through the state legislature than at any time. Medical marijuana use was first planned by the Governor in January, but little momentum has built since. New polls in favor of toking up to take the edge off for patients with cancer and other severe conditions still leave us asking, will New York become the 22nd state to make pot legal?

Consumer and Sports Industry
The consumer and sports product sector invariably targets a demanding audience who are fashion conscious, increasingly discerning and design aware and who therefore have high functional and aesthetic expectations of their products.
Due to consumer demand for personalized products and premium models, AEG are often approached to design not only the core product, but also variants upon it. This enables the company to match market sub sector needs and to afford the manufacturer the opportunity to offer a range of products across several different price points.
The use of common components combined with a creative approach to casework and cover design can enable the cost effective production of a range of products, each with a different visual appeal and performance criteria.
AEG have broad experience in this sports industry and in many cases have produced illustrations for marketing reviews, 3D CAD models, computer renderings, physical models and working prototypes, all to ensure that the final product is accepted and is commercially successful in the marketplace.
One of AEG’s many strengths is its ability to call upon our experienced industrial design team to work concurrently with our development engineers in order to ensure that the ergonomics and aesthetics of a concept are considered alongside the more functional/performance aspects of the design. Equally, our mechanical and electronic engineers understand the importance of the role that industrial design plays in the development of a successful product.

The online booking system has been updated to allow booster bookings for severely immunosuppressed people.
There are around 400,000 people who are severely immunosuppressed who are eligible for a fourth jab – at least three months on from their third dose – and are able to book a month in advance of that.
This group includes people having treatment for conditions such as cancer or those with long-term chronic conditions where their condition puts them at greater risk if they were to get COVID.
Previously, the NHS contacted people who are eligible for additional doses of the vaccine and GPs and their clinicians were also asked to identify and invite them for their vaccinations.
People who are severely immunosuppressed are also able to access walk-ins across the country, following instructions on the walk-in finder or book a fourth dose appointment online to get protected.
The change to the online service will make it even easier for people to plan and book their top up vaccinations.
So far, more than nine out of ten of those who are severely immunosuppressed have had a third COVID-19 vaccination.
Professor Stephen Powis, NHS National Medical Director, said: “It is incredibly important that those who are most at risk from coronavirus continue to come forward for their doses whether it’s a fourth dose or booster vaccine when their treatment allows and it is fantastic to see that more than nine in 10 people who are severely immunosuppressed have had their third dose so far.
“As more people who at the highest risk from COVID become eligible for their booster jab they will benefit from being able to book an appointment online at a convenient vaccination centre.
“Getting the vaccine is the best way to prevent the likelihood of becoming seriously unwell from covid and is all the more important if you have a weakened immune system in helping ensure you are protected”.
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said: “Our vaccines are the best line of defence against this virus and it is vital those who are most at risk get their third and fourth doses when eligible, to ensure they have as much protection as possible.
“The NHS is making it even easier for them to book an appointment, with online bookings now open”.
Decisions on when to get a fourth jab for people who are severely immunosuppressed is made between patients and their clinicians, and the majority of fourth doses are being administered through hospital consultants and GPs.
The NHS has delivered more than 115 million doses of the COVID vaccine across England, including 43 million vital boosters, more than 40 million first doses and 31 million receiving a second jab.

I am not going to lie; this reading was really hard to get through. I had to go over it a few times to try and understand everything that the author was trying to get across, and I am not sure I quite understand yet. This chapter is about sound and sound glitch, that part was obvious enough, but the ways that Krapp breaks down the chapter is very thorough. His breakdown of the history of sound glitch is very interesting. I did not know how far back people had been attempting to combine the medium in which the music is being presented and the composition or the type of sounds that the artist wants. The fact that people have been messing with sound for so many years doesn’t surprise me, we as a species seem to be fascinated with our abilities to generate certain sounds.
This chapter brings up how noise plays an important factor in the production of sound, noise being what exists between the major sounds. Krapp writes about how the invention of the computer has effected the way sound has been produce since at least 1956, with the Music Compiler I. With these new tools there are new possibilities for what can be done. Unforeseen errors and the glitches as well as clicks and other things that are repeatable and have the possibility to be randomized are vital to the production of new sounds.
Many times people don’t take the medium in which the sound is being presented into consideration when thinking about music. There are certain things about the different presentations that can be ignored by most people, but they do make difference in how sound is taken in. There is a difference to the imperfections and scratchy sounds of a record compared to the clean sound of digital file. Glitching sound, while keeping making the computer stand out on its own, forms a bridge between the human hand creating the sound and the machine.

Huffington’s Thrive Global Gets $700 Million-Plus Value
(Bloomberg) -- Arianna Huffington says her wellness startup is thriving after a year in which employers and their staff became concerned about burnout.
New York-based Thrive Global has raised an additional $80 million in a funding round that values it at more than $700 million, including new capital, according to people who asked to not be identified because the information isn’t public.
The Huffington Post co-founder and former Uber Technologies Inc. board member launched Thrive as an employee wellness business in 2016. It works with more than 100 organizations across 40 countries -- including Walmart Inc. and Accenture Plc -- to help employees form wellness habits.
The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the need for employees to find a new balance as they shift from the office to spending more time working from home. Thrive’s customers have access to an app, which they can use to motivate themselves to take breaks, stretch and combat fatigue.
“This was really our mission meeting the moment,” Huffington said in an interview. “Let’s use this moment to actually reimagine work.”
The funding round was led by Kleiner Perkins partner Mamoon Hamid and co-led by Owl Ventures’s Ian Chiu. Both will join Thrive’s board. A representative for Thrive declined to comment on the valuation.
Thrive helps employees “dealing with the blurring lines between work and our lives,” according to Hamid.
“We don’t want to build yet another app that increases burnout,” he said.
Hamid invested because he is optimistic that Thrive can eventually go public. “The company will have a financial profile that will allow it to go public in a few years,” he said.
Huffington, meanwhile, said the company is “definitely” open to being acquired.

When you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing
is often the way it looks, like its homes and its setting. Some places look
the same, but they only reveal their true character after living in them for
a while because they contain a unique mix of occupational or cultural groups.
This neighborhood is very unique in some important ways, according to
NeighborhoodScout's exclusive exploration and analysis.
Notable & Unique: Diversity
Did you know that the Ave P / Nostrand Ave neighborhood has more
Russian and Hungarian ancestry people living in it than nearly
any neighborhood in America? It's true! In fact, 16.6% of
this neighborhood's residents have Russian ancestry and 7.6% have Hungarian ancestry.
Ave P / Nostrand Ave is also pretty special linguistically. Significantly, 21.1% of its residents five years old and above primarily
speak Russian at home. While this may seem like a small percentage, it is higher
than 99.9% of the neighborhoods in America.
Notable & Unique: Real Estate
If you like crowded places, then you will probably enjoy the Ave P / Nostrand Ave neighborhood. According to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive data analysis, this neighborhood is more densely populated than 96.8% of neighborhoods in the U.S., with 27,743 people per square mile living here. Even if you drive or take transit to your place of employment, many
people enjoy being able to walk in their neighborhood. What many people
don't realize is that most of America's premier vacation locations are
also very walkable. The Ave P / Nostrand Ave neighborhood is among
the top 5% of American neighborhoods in terms of walkability.
In addition, do you watch 'This Old House' on Public Television? Do you love the idea of fixing up a Colonial or Victorian era home, complete with the charm of yesteryear? Do you like to stroll or drive streets lined with gracious older residences? If you found yourself nodding yes to any of these questions, you are going to be interested in this unique neighborhood. The Ave P / Nostrand Ave neighborhood stands out on a national scale for the sheer concentration of historic residences it contains: 59.0% of the residential real estate here was built from 1939 or earlier, some much earlier. This is a greater concentration of historic homes than 95.0% of the neighborhoods in the United States.
Notable & Unique: Modes of Transportation
In the Ave P / Nostrand Ave neighborhood, 28.6% of people
ride the train to work each day. This is a very high percentage compared
to most places. In fact, NeighborhoodScout's analysis reveals that this
is a higher level of train ridership than in 97.3% of the
neighborhoods in America.
Notable & Unique: Car Ownership
We Americans love our cars. Not only are they a necessity for most Americans
due to the shape of our neighborhoods and the distances between where we
live, work, shop, and go to school, but we also fancy them. As a result,
most households in America have one, two, or three cars. But NeighborhoodScout's
exclusive analysis shows that the Ave P / Nostrand Ave neighborhood has
a highly unusual pattern of car ownership.
25.7% of the households in this neighborhood don't own a car at
all. This is more carless households than NeighborhoodScout found in
96.0% of U.S. neighborhoods.
Notable & Unique: People
One of the really interesting characteristics about the
Ave P / Nostrand Ave neighborhood is that, according to NeighborhoodScout's
exclusive research, it is an excellent choice in which to reside for
college students. Due to its popularity among college students who
already choose to live here, its walkability, and its above average
safety from crime, the neighborhood is ideal for prospective or
already-enrolled college students. Between semesters and during
school breaks, you'll notice that the excitement here fluctuates with
the college seasons. Despite the excitement however, parents of college-age
children can rest easy knowing that this
neighborhood has an above average safety rating. For each of these
reasons, the neighborhood is rated among the
top 5.0% of college-friendly places to live in
the state of New York.
In addition to being an excellent choice for college students, this
neighborhood is also a very good choice for urban sophisticates and highly educated executives.

And so we had the government’s Brexit white paper, a document so vapid that it inspired my MP to tweet that it reminded her of a high school student stretching out an essay to meet the required word count.
Eagle-eyed readers spotted the date stamps on many pages of the PDF version indicating that the paper had been finished between 3 and 4 AM on the day it was due to be published. That stunt was funny when I pulled it in uni. It isn’t funny when it is the work of a government supposedly setting out “a vision of an independent, truly global UK and an ambitious future relationship with the EU.”
As always, I read the document to see what it said about specific policies relating to tech and digital. As always, it was a very quick read.
Existing digital laws
1.1 To provide legal certainty over our exit from the EU, we will introduce the Great Repeal Bill to remove the European Communities Act 1972 from the statute book and convert the ‘acquis’ – the body of existing EU law – into domestic law. This means that, wherever practical and appropriate, the same rules and laws will apply on the day after we leave the EU as they did before.
We knew that.
Digital Single Market
8.18 The Single Market for services is not complete. It seeks to remove barriers to businesses wanting to provide services across borders, or to establish a company in another EU Member State, through a range of horizontal and sector-specific legislation. This includes the mutual recognition of professional qualifications. The EU’s Digital Single Market measures are designed to ensure the regulatory environment keeps pace with the evolving digital economy.
That answer would be like me asking “what is the future of the library I am writing in at the moment” and being told “a library is a building which holds books.” Someone stayed up all night to write that.
Data protection (GDPR)
8.38 The stability of data transfer is important for many sectors – from financial services, to tech, to energy companies. EU rules support data flows amongst Member States. For example, the EU data protection framework outlines the rights of EU citizens, as well as the obligations to which companies must adhere when processing and transferring this data. There is also an ongoing consultation regarding the free flow of data, including considering whether legislation is necessary to limit Member States’ requirements for data to be stored nationally.
8.39 The European Commission is able to recognise data protection standards in third countries as being essentially equivalent to those in the EU, meaning that EU companies are able to transfer data to those countries freely.
8.40 As we leave the EU, we will seek to maintain the stability of data transfer between EU Member States and the UK.
This means that we will be going into GDPR, as we have already been told. The question is what happens after GDPR. I and many others have concerns that Theresa May – the most surveillance-mad Prime Minister ever to hold the office in peacetime – would seek to water down data protection, or even scorn EU-compliant data protection standards, for the sake of a US-style self-regulatory approach which satisfies her authoritarian appetites.
And that’s yer white paper lot.
For their part, TechUK published a diplomatic response to the paper politely thanking the government for its complete lack of clarity and its ongoing commitment to leaving the industry suspended in uncertainty.
It’s gonna be a long couple of years.

After 25 years commenting on fashion for the International Herald Tribune (rebranded recently as The International New York Times), Suzy Menkes now writes exclusively for Vogue online, covering fashion worldwide.
Vionnet: Deconstructing Classicism
Suzy Menkes at Paris Fashion Week: Day Three
6 Марта 2015
The poetry of flowers dying and dropping to the ground over the audience’s heads was the first vision of the show’s concept before it even started: “Beauty in decay.”
Those were the words of Creative Director Goga Ashkenazi, who seemed dedicated to taking the classic house and shaking it until it cracked open.
But what was inside, behind the surface of the classically beautiful, blush-pink, silk-satin column that opened the show, followed by a second classic in light blue? The latter was the colour of the ice caps and bubbling lava of the North Pole, where Goga had gone for inspiration.
Cracks in the fashion ice flow began immediately: first another silken dress pulling open at the breasts; then the same material and colours reduced to a frontispiece to trousers. That look became an ongoing theme: a Vionnet drape paired with shiny stretch-leather trousers, or accessorised with a handbag turned into a pull-along trolley.
It sounds confusing, and it was. The “destruction” vision has been around for two decades, from John Galliano through to Comme des Garçons. Galliano’s face-off between elegance and S&M reappeared at Vionnet as straps across the bust. Or maybe Goga was playing a riff on centurion sandals.
The theme of destruction produced some fine pieces, such as a cracked pattern that made the surface appear to be heaving with lava and a fur jacket in a jigsaw puzzle of pieces.
But the problem in revitalising this house is profound. The original Madame Vionnet created dresses that caught the still centre of a turning world. Goga did the opposite, throwing in all kinds of ideas, mostly concerning transparent materials creating a window on the body.
The chaos theory so rarely works in applied art, especially fashion, where the ultimate test is what a woman looks like walking the runway — or in the real world.

Saudi-US Row: Prince Bandar bin 'Sulking' Tries Old Bribe and Threat Trick Again by Finian Cunningham

The Nobel Peace Prize brings another surprise – or farce, depending on your view. In relatively recent history, there has been Henry Kissinger (1973) architect supreme of murderous assaults on sovereign nations; the United Nations (2001) whose active warmongering or passive, silent holocausts (think UN embargoes) make shameful mockery of the aspirational founding words.

A secondary radar system is a cooperative target
identification system in which the interrogator transmits an encoded signal
to a target. The signal transmitted by the secondary radar is intercepted and received by the target. The
target has a transponder on board that interprets the encoded
signal and transmits an encoded reply back to the interrogator.
The secondary radar system receives and interprets the
target's encoded signal.
The identification friend or foe (IFF) system is
a good example of a secondary radar system
that is in wide use in the military environment.
deal of valuable information can be provided to the secondary
radar by the target's transponder. The transponder provides
an identifying code to the secondary radar that
then uses the code and an associated database system to

and even the numbers of personnel on board. This type
of information is clearly not available from a primary radar

Roslindale Wants to Play reports work could begin this spring on a major revamp to the Healy Field playground that will include a "play" brook and splash pool.
The group says Parks and Rec made some serious changes to the original plans, partly to make the playground more accessible to kids with disabilities, partly because planners discovered the existence of some underground utility conduits.
Molly Crane of Quincy says she never would have bought Healthy Sexy Hair Sulfate-Free Soy Moisturizing Shampoo if she'd known it actually has sulfate in it.
In a lawsuit filed this week in US District Court in Boston, Crane said that when she tried some of the stuff and "didn't like the results," she looked at the fine-print list of ingredients on the back of the bottle and was shocked to learn that among the listed ingredients was sodium sulfate. Also, she wasn't real happy that the ingredints also included two types of salts, because the front label also promised a salt-free experience.
Plaintiff has been economically injured by the misrepresentations that the shampoo she purchased was sulfate-free and salt free. Plaintiff would never have purchased the shampoo had she been aware that it contained sulfates and salt.
The suit lists both Sexy Hair Concepts, LLC, and Ulta, which owns the Braintree shop where she says she bought the offending shampoo.
Her suit does not specify monetary damages, but it asks a judge to name her the lead plaintiff in a product-labeling and consumer-protection class-action suit.
When the tree finally did come down in 1876, struck by a strong gust of wind during a storm, Boston citizens rushed to the tree to claim branches and scraps of wood as souvenirs.
The tree was repurposed in a number of other ways by inventive residents, including creating veneered pictures of the tree made out of wood from the elm itself and growing a root of “The Old Elm” around a china dish cover. Part of the tree was also used to make a chair for the Boston Public Library . ... One of these keepsakes belongs to MHS’s own collection, a pair of “Old Elm earrings,” made by Benjamin F. Knowlton.
The Globe reports the Boston Housing Authority is looking to find a private developer willing to replace some of the buildings at the Mildred Hailey Apartments in exchange for being allowed to build market-rate housing on vacant parts of the complex.
The BHA has increasingly used this model to renovate its projects in the face of declining federal funds for the work, most notably at Bunker Hill in Charlestown.
Bruce Sadler, 59, yesterday pleaded guilty to two counts of rape of a child for repeated incidents in the early 1990s while he lived in Mattapan and other parts of Boston, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
Had the case proceeded to trial, Assistant District Attorney Alissa Goldhaber of the DA’s Child Protection Unit would have presented evidence and testimony to prove that Sadler improperly touched two girls who were known to him and who were between the ages of 7 and 11 when the abuse occurred. Sadler abused one of the victims between 1990 and 1993 and the second between 1993 and 1995, during a period that Sadler lived in Mattapan and elsewhere in the city of Boston.
Both victims reported making statements to family members about the abuse within years of its occurrence. However, the assaults were not reported to Boston Police until 2012, after one of the victims made a more detailed disclosure to a relative who later contacted police. When the relative confronted him about the abuse, the evidence would have shown, Sadler made statements in the presence of multiple witnesses admitting that he assaulted the two victims.


UVM men's basketball returns with challenging assignment vs. UNC Greensboro
UNC Greensboro leans on an explosive star, sets a tone with stout defense and shoots a whole bunch of 3-pointers.
Does that approach sound familiar to Vermont fans? It should.
The University of Vermont men’s basketball team returns from a 10-day layoff to host Greensboro, a dangerous mid-major program with a skillset and philosophy comparable to that of the Catamounts.
“This is the best team that will come to Patrick (Gym) this year and in recent memory,” said UVM coach John Becker of his team’s nonconference opponents. “It should be a really good matchup and there are similarities in the style of play.”
Wednesday’s tip-off between the Catamounts (7-4) and the Spartans (8-3) is slated for 7 p.m. on ESPN+ and WCPV-FM 101.3.

UNCG, which lost at the buzzer to North Carolina State in its last outing, has the eighth highest turnover margin (+7) and ninth stingiest defense (57.2 ppg) in the country. The Spartans also rank in the top 25 nationally in 3-pointers (309) and forced turnovers (18.0 ppg).
And Isaiah Miller, like UVM’s Anthony Lamb, earned a spot on Lou Henson Award Watch List earlier this season. Miller, a junior, averages 17.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.1 assist a game to pace the Spartans, who were picked to finish second in the SoCon preseason poll.
“They kind of come at you. They want to pressure you and wear you down,” Becker said. “We are going to need production from everybody, but mainly take care of the ball and rebound.”
The Cats sit eighth nationally in field goal defense (35.9%) and 19th in scoring defense (58.9 ppg) while hoisting the 25th most triples (295) in the country. Lamb (16.6 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 2.6 apg), Stef Smith (13.7 ppg, 2.7 apg) and Ryan Davis (9.6 ppg, 5.0 rpg) are UVM’s statistical leaders.
Becker said the hiatus has allowed time for improvement and to heal up.
“We’ve been healthy, able to practice a little bit and we’ll see how that goes coming off exam week and a long break,” Becker said. “I think we are continuing to find our identity with this group.”
Tip-ins: The only player who'll won't suit up vs. Greensboro is Eric Beckett. The freshman went down with a wrist injury late last week and will be held out for the next two games, Becker said. ... Former UVM star Ernie Duncan will join Jake Marsh on the 101.3 radio call. Bernie Cieplicki, another former Catamount standout, and Tyler Terens team up for the ESPN+ broadcast. ... UVM is 2-0 vs. Greensboro all-time, but the programs haven't played since 1992. ... UVM continues its homestand Friday night vs. Lipscomb.

Fort Osage Boat Ramp, Sibley, MO
We would be lying if we said that we weren’t a little disappointed that the weather stopped us from accomplishing the goal that we had set out to achieve. Many of our friends and partners have had their sights set on the “trash trap” at river mile 333 for quite some time, and this was our chance to give it all we got. However, the storm system that tracked through the Kansas City area kept most of us on shore for a majority of the morning. Those volunteers who showed up and braved the rain and storms got their chance to make their mark on the notorious trash trap, but the job is far from over. In a very short amount of time, we were able to remove around 1.5 tons of trash from the river. Make sure to check out the albums from the event to see how we managed to make the best of a rainy situation.
Thank you to the 18 hardcore volunteers who woke up to the weather forecasts and chose to brave the weather with us at thee boat ramp. You rock!
Even though we weren’t able to give this area the cleaning it deserved, we are overwhelmed by the support of the city and the wonderful people of Sibley who helped us throughout the week. Our Crew Camp was stationed at the beautiful Hayes Park, surrounded by wonderful neighbors who were so supportive of our mission and were happy to help with any problem that came our way. From one neighbor offering us their basement in case of severe weather, to another cooking our crew dinner on Saturday night, the support was unmatched.
Some great media coverage came out across the Kansas City area of our efforts to clean the Missouri River. We were lucky to have Fox 4 KC and Action 41 News come out for our trash scout on Friday to help share our story with the area. Make sure to check out Fox 4's "Group of volunteers preparing to clean Missouri River; more than 920 tons of trash recovered since 2001" by Sharifa Jackson and KSHB 41's "As trash piles up, Missouri River Relief embraces cleanup mission" by Nick Starling.

Ranveer Singh, known for some high-powered performances, has been working hard these days for his upcoming film, 83, which is based on Kapil Dev's 1983 World cup win.
The actor, on Friday, tweeted a video that shows him undergoing training for his next role as Kapil Dev in Kabir Khan's much-awaited project.
The video, which seems to have been made by the cast of the film, shows Ranveer working out in a gym and practicing on a cricket pitch in the picturesque town of Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh.
The clip also features the actor training with Kapil Dev, who was the captain during India's 1983 World Cup win.
Ranveer announced that the movie will be released on Good Friday next year.
"The incredible untold story of India's greatest victory! 🏏🏆
10th April 2020- Good Friday #Relive83 @83thefilm @kabirkhankk, " the actor captioned the video.
The film is expected to go on floors on May 15. The first schedule will last for about 100 days and will be shot in London and Scotland.
'83' also features R Badree, Hardy Sandhu, Chirag Patil, Saqib Saleem, Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Bhasin, Ammy Virk and Saahil Khattar as the Men in Blue.
The film is based on the legendary cricketer Kapil Dev, who lifted the World Cup for India in 1983 and also coached the team from October 1999 to August 2000.

“California has not shown why interactions in offices and studios of the entertainment industry, and in-person operations to facilitate nonessential e-commerce, are included on the list as being allowed with social distancing where telework is not practical, while gatherings with social distancing for purposes of religious worship are forbidden, regardless of whether remote worship is practical or not.”
Dreiband’s letter said this is an “unfair burden” on religious groups and “unequal treatment” that violates their civil rights protections. The letter does not threaten immediate legal action. It recognizes the duty “to protect the health and safety of Californians in the face of a pandemic that is unprecedented in our lifetimes,” but said leaders must balance competing interests and evaluate the changing information about the coronavirus.
“Laws that are not both neutral toward religion and generally applicable are invalid unless the government can prove that they further a compelling interest and are pursued through the least restrictive means possible,” the letter said.
Newsom has indicated religious institutions could start in-person services in the near future, with improvements in measurements of testing, infection, and hospitalization.
“I want to just express my deep admiration to the faith community and the need and desire to know when their congregants can once again start coming back to the pews, coming back together,” Newsom said May 18, Politico reports.
Two Republican legislators have introduced a resolution to limit the governor’s emergency powers. Assemblymember Kevin Kiley said such powers are meant for “conditions of extreme peril” and are not intended to “give a single person the ability to remake all of California law indefinitely.”
In Sacramento County, health officials have received state approval for a more rapid lifting of limitations. The county will allow “drive-through” religious services. San Diego County supervisors have asked the state for permission for a more rapid reopening, including outdoor religious services with restrictions, the Associated Press said.
Some churches in the U.S. and South Korea are believed to be at the center of so-called “super-spreader” events, when numerous infections from the novel coronavirus result. On May 12, the Centers for Disease Control said 53 of 61 choir members who took part in a March 10 choir practice at a church in Skagit County, Washington contracted a confirmed or probable case of the coronavirus. Three singers were hospitalized and two died, E.W. Scripps News reports.
Dreiband’s letter to Newsom cites the Department of Justice’s promise to act on any abuses of religious freedom after some state and local governments sought to enforce tough restrictions on Easter services during the coronavirus pandemic.
Attorney General William Barr issued a statement in mid-April saying that governments cannot put special burdens on religious practice that they do not also impose upon other activities. While state and local governments may enact public emergency restrictions, these regulations cannot impede religious practice while allowing exemptions for similar public activities.
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco spoke about epidemic restrictions on churches during a May 13 online briefing “The Church, the State and the Pandemic,” hosted by the San Francisco-based Benedict XVI Institute for Sacred Music and Divine Worship. Stanford Law School professor Michael McConnell, a former federal appellate court judge, was the main speaker at the briefing.
The archbishop, citing his interactions with government leaders, suggested public officials “don’t understand what we can do to keep people safe.” Church leaders need to reach out to officials and inform them what is possible, he said.

“When they think of a worship service they think of something like a megachurch, 1,000 to 2,000 people jammed in a crowded area,” he said. “They don’t think that we can have distance in our churches, or that we can have outdoor services.”
Cordileone cited suggestions from the Thomistic Institute of the Dominican House of Studies, which published guidance on coronavirus and churches composed by a working group of theologians, liturgists, and health care experts.
“It’s a very thorough and detailed document about what we can do to open up for Mass,” Cordileone said.
The California bishops sent a letter to Gov. Newsom with the Thomistic Institute document attached. A few days later the governor “spoke positively about worship and the necessity of faith” and appeared “more favorable to churches opening up for worship,” said the archbishop.
