Bloggers had the responsibility to the society and should abide by the country's law, he said.

"I believe bloggers have their own sense of responsibility to the society and will not go around writing with wild abandon, because in the end the law will catch up with them; and like it or not, the law will come down hard on them.

"So before that happens, they should exercise caution,"

Rais said the Attorney-General's Chambers was constantly monitoring reports published in certain blogs to see if they were made in general or had the elements of contempt or against the rule of sub judice.

Howver, he s said the ministry would not stop Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) from reporting the case.

RTM would also be allowed to use certain terms which were mentioned in court, he added.

"We can report on the case based on what transpired in court and in the interest of public knowledge but we should not make comments which are sub judice," he said.

The Kuala Lumpur high court closed the second day of the trial of Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to the media and public today, a day after explicit details of the alleged act emerged from his accuser, Mohamad Saiful Azlan, 25.

Saiful, a former aide of Datuk Seri Anwar, has accused his former boss of sodomising him on June 26, 2008, at a private condominium - Unit 11-5-1 of the Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara - between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.

Saiful reported the matter to the police two days later.

Datuk Seri Anwar is charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code and can be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in jail and whipping upon conviction.

Later in the day, the trial adjourned for a visit to the apartment.

Datuk Seri Anwar has pleaded not guilty saying the charges are part of a government conspiracy to end his political career.

Wednesday, 3 February 2010

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has pleaded not guilty to sodomy charges brought against him, saying they are part of a "political conspiracy".

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told a High Court hearing in Kuala Lumpur today that the allegations he had sodomised a former aide were "malicious" fabrications... trumped up by political masters using the prosecution for that purpose".

The prosecution, lead by Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abide,promised to produce semen samples that they said were found in medical tests on Mohamad Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 24, the aide who made the allegations.

Datuk Seri Anwar, who is the Permatang Pauh MP, is accused of sodomising Mohamad Saiful at Unit 11-5-1 of the Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara, between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.

He is charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code which carries a maximum jail term of 20 years and whipping upon conviction.

The case is being heard before Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah.

Anwar's defence team is led by Karpal, Sankara Nair, Datuk Param Cumaraswamy and Prabakaran.

Datuk Abdullah Majid, a former deputy Labour and Manpower Minister and an ex ISA detainee, passed away at his Taman Desa home early this morning aged 85.

His remains were taken to the Tun Abdul Aziz Mosque in Petaling Jaya for the funeral prayer before being taken to his village, Kampung Durian Sebatang in Dong, Raub, Pahang for burial.

Datuk Abdullah was detained together with Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad (the former MP for Kok Lanas) and Pak Samad (Tan Sri Samad Ismail) under the Internal Security Act in 1976 for four years. (Read here ). He was given a conditional release in May 1977, and the conditions were lifted on Nov 2, 1981.

On Dec 1, last year, Justice Mohamad Zabidin ruled that the findings of a medical report, which suggested that there was no penetration, could not be the basis for the court to quash the sodomy charge and that it should hear the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses first.

Have a Heart: Save IJN

Israel’s assault on Gaza, by air, sea and now land, has killed (at the time of this writing) more than 600 Palestinians, with more than 2,700 injured. Ten Israelis have been killed, three of them Israeli soldiers killed by friendly fire. Beyond the deaths and injuries, the people of Gaza are suffering a dire humanitarian crisis that is dismissed by the Israeli government. There is, however, Israeli opposition to the military assault.

Parents, guardians, and adults who care for children face constant challenges when trying to help keep children safer in today's fast-paced world.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) offers easy-to-use safety resources to help address these challenges.
For decades, children were taught to stay away from "strangers." But this concept is difficult for children to grasp and often the perpetrator is someone the child knows.
It is more beneficial to help build children's confidence and teach them to respond to a potentially dangerous situation...

Israel's failure to learnBy Nir Rosen (Aljazeera)

Synopsis

It’s spring in the idyllic village of St. Denis, and for Chief of Police Bruno Courrèges that means lamb stews, bottles of his beloved Pomerol, morning walks with his hound, Gigi, and a new string of regional crimes and international capers. When a local archaeological team searching for Neanderthal remains turns up a corpse with a watch on its wrist and a bullet in its head, it’s up to Bruno to solve the case. But the task will not be easy, not with a meddlesome new magistrate, a series of attacks by animal rights activists on local foie gras producers, and a summit between France and Spain approaching—not to mention two beautiful, brilliant women vying for Bruno’s affections.

Excerpt

1

It felt like the first morning of spring. The early sun was chasing the mist from the wooded hollows that sheltered the small streams flowing busily down to the River Vézère. Drops of dew sparkled on the new buds that seemed to have appeared overnight on the bare trees. The air smelled somehow different, fresh and hopeful, and enlivened by the tuneful notes of a dozen different birdsongs. Excited by the change in scents and season, even after his early morning walk through the woods, Gigi the basset hound thrust his nose at the open window of the small police van that descended the steep and curving lane from his master’s home. At the wheel, Bruno was singing a half-remembered song about springtime in Paris. Vaguely thinking of the duties of the day that stretched before him, when rounding the last bend he was suddenly forced to brake.

For the first time in his memory, the quiet road ahead was blocked with a line of cars and tractors, their engines running and their drivers’ heads poking from windows. Some were out of their cars, looking at the road that led to St. Denis. Several were talking urgently into cell phones. In the distance a car horn sounded, swiftly joined by others in discordant chorus. As Bruno surveyed the scene his own phone began to ring. He checked the screen, recognized the name of Pierre, a neighbor who lived farther up the road. He ignored it, assuming Pierre would be calling to complain at being stuck in the jam ahead. There had to be an accident of some sort.

Bruno pushed aside the thought that he could have avoided this delay if he’d stayed the night with Pamela, the English-woman he’d been seeing since the autumn. She had called off the arrangement that he would dine with her and stay the night, saying she’d finally secured an early morning appointment with the maréchal, the traveling farrier who was to reshoe her horses. Pamela postponed their meetings too frequently for Bruno’s comfort, and he was never quite sure whether she was cooling on their relationship or simply wary of commitment. They were to meet again that evening, he reminded himself, without feeling greatly reassured. He parked the van and climbed out to investigate. The best view of the long traffic jam was commanded by Alain, who kept a dairy farm farther up the road to Les Eyzies.

“Geese—the road’s full of ducks and geese,” he called down to Bruno from his perch high on a tractor. “They’re all over the place.”

Bruno heard the sound of rival honking as the geese called back in response to the car horns, and he quickly clambered up beside Alain to peer ahead. The traffic jam stretched as far up the road as he could see. Darting between the stalled cars were perhaps hundreds of ducks and geese, streaming through the woods on the side of the road and heading across it to settle in a broad pond that spread across the meadow, swollen by the spring rains.

“That’s Louis Villatte’s farm, behind those woods,” said Alain. “A tree must have come down and broken his fence, let them all escape. There’s over three thousand birds in there. Or rather, there used to be. Looks like he’s lost a few to the cars too.”

“Have you got his number?” Bruno asked. Alain nodded. “Call him, see if he knows his birds have escaped. Then go through those woods and see if you can help Louis block the gap in his fence. I’ll try and sort this out here. Join you later.”

Bruno went back to his van, released Gigi, and walked with him down the road, brushing aside the drivers’ angry queries. A driver he knew was looking mournfully at a broken headlamp while a wounded goose lay half pinned under his car, honking feebly.

“You grew up on a farm, Pierre,” Bruno told him, rushing past. “Put the poor devil out of its misery.” Looking back, he saw Pierre bend to grip the goose behind its head and twist. The bird fluttered wildly and then went limp. Even when the farm boy grew up like Pierre to work in an accountant’s office, he hadn’t lost the skill.

When he came to the main grouping of birds, advancing in a jumbled column from the woods, Bruno saw that the road ahead was blocked by some stalled cars coming the other way. He briefly considered using Gigi to turn the birds back, but they would go off and cross the road elsewhere. There was no stopping this exodus, so he might as well try to speed it up and clear the road. He persuaded the leading cars in each queue to reverse a little to make a broader passage to let the birds pass freely across to the pond. Some drivers tried to argue, but he pointed out that the sooner he could stop the supply of ducks, the sooner the road would unblock. He left them grumbling and took Gigi into the trees, trotting past the trail of ducks and geese that was still pottering and waddling its way from the Villatte farm. Bruno smiled to himself, wondering if the birds felt a sense of escape or curiosity, of adventure triggered by the coming of springtime.

Louis and his wife were already at the huge hole torn in the fence. No tree had fallen, no tractor had ridden through the sturdy barrier of wooden posts and chicken wire that ringed the farm. Instead, whole fence posts had been hauled from the earth and the wire cut. With boards and old doors and cardboard boxes stuffed beneath an ancient tractor, Louis was trying to plug the gaps in the fence. His wife and eldest son were flapping their arms, and their dog was barking to shoo away the ducks and geese following their fellows toward the freedom of the woods.

Without being told, Gigi darted forward to help drive the birds back from the fence, and Bruno helped Alain to haul some branches from broken trees to seal the remaining gaps in the wire. Once the makeshift barrier was in place, Louis came forward to shake their hands. Gigi and Louis’s dog sniffed politely at each other’s tails and then sat beside each other, staring at any bird daring to approach.

“We’ve been at this since daybreak,” Louis said. “You see how big this gap is? Some bastard ripped this fence down deliberately and did a good job of it.”

“And we know who,” added Sandrine, his wife. “Look at this, stuck on the bits of the fence they didn’t tear down.” She handed Bruno a photocopied leaflet, sealed inside a transparent plastic envelope.

“STOP cruelty to animals. Boycott foie gras,” he read. There was a smudged photocopied image of a duck held down in a narrow cage. A flexible tube hanging from above was thrust into its mouth by an unidentified man who was stretching the duck’s neck taut for the force-feeding. At the bottom, it read “ContactezPETAFrance.com.”

“Who’s this PETA?” asked Alain, peering over Bruno’s shoulder.

“People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals,” said Bruno. “It’s an American thing, maybe British, but it’s growing in France. They made a big fuss up in Paris about battery chickens and veal, those calves kept in pens. Looks like they’ve started running a campaign against foie gras.”

“But that’s our livelihood,” said Sandrine. “And we don’t make foie gras, we just raise the birds.”

“And look at this,” said Louis. “The wire’s been cut with proper cutters. This was organized.” He showed Bruno the snipped strands of wire. “Then they pulled it away somewhere, hiding the stretches of wire they cut. I sent the other boy out looking for it in the woods.”

“City bastards,” grunted Alain. “Don’t know the first thing about the country and they come here like a bunch of terrorists and try to ruin people.” He turned aside and spat. “You find out who they are, Bruno, and we’ll take care of the rest.”

Bruno ignored Alain’s outrage on behalf of his fellow farmer. “All the birds seem to be heading for that pond on the far side of the road,” he told Louis. “Have you got some way to round them up and bring them back?”

“I’ll ring the food bell. That brings most of them running. And for the rest, I’ve got some netting. That’s how we usually round them up. I’ll put them in the trailer and bring them back once I’ve got this fence fixed.”

“Sooner the better, because they’ve blocked the whole road into town,” said Bruno. “That’s what brought me here.”

“Crazy birds,” said Louis, grimacing in rueful affection. “They’ve got a perfectly good pond back in the field, but give them a sniff of someplace new and off they go.” He gestured back beyond his house where already some of the ducks, frustrated at their efforts to escape through the newly sealed barrier, were splashing and paddling serenely in their old familiar pond.

A young boy of about ten labored toward them from the woods, proudly hauling a section of wire fence.

“I found it, Papa,” he shouted. “And there’s more. I can show you where.” His face broke into a grin at seeing Bruno, who taught him to play rugby in winter and tennis in summer. “Bonjour, Monsieur Bruno.” He dropped the fence and came forward to shake hands.

“Bonjour, Daniel. Did you see or hear anything when this happened?”

“Nothing. The first I heard was when Papa woke us all up to come out and save the birds.”

“I heard something, a duck call, a single one and then repeated, just before the cockerel started,” said Louis. “So it must have been a bit before dawn. I remember thinking that’s odd, because the ducks don’t usually stir until after the hens.”

“Could it have been a lure, one of those hunter’s calls?” Bruno asked. “Whoever cut the fence must have had some way to wake the birds and tempt them to move. They’d have wanted them out before you and the family were awake.”

“It must have been something like that,” Sandrine said. “The birds tend to stick around the barn, waiting to be fed. They’ve never gone off before, even when we had that storm that knocked part of the fence down.”

“I’d better get back to the road and see that jam is cleared,” said Bruno.

“Before you go, what do you know about this PETA?” asked Sandrine.

“Not a lot, but I’ll find out,” Bruno replied. “I think you’ve lost one or two birds to the cars, but not many.”

“Those birds are worth six euros each to us,” said Sandrine. “We can’t afford to lose any of them, what with the bank loan we have to pay until we sell this lot. What if those PETA people come again?”

“I’ll shoot the bastards,” Louis said. “We’ll take turns keeping watch, sit up all night if we have to.”

“You have a right to protect your property with reasonable force, according to the law,” said Bruno. “But people interpret ‘reasonable force’ in different ways. If you hear anything happening again, it’s best you call me. Whatever you do, don’t use a firearm or any kind of weapon. The best thing is to photograph them so we can identify who they are. If you have any lights you can rig up, or one of those motion detectors . . .”

“A camera won’t do any good,” said Alain. “Even with photos the damn courts will take their side. They’re all mad Greenies, the magistrates. Then there’s those food inspectors and all the other rules and regulations, tying us up in knots.”

“I think I know who it is,” said Sandrine. “It’s those students at the archaeology site who came in last week, working on some dig with that German professor, over toward Campagne. They’re all staying at the municipal campground. This time of year, they’re the only strangers around here and you know what those students are like. They’re all Greens now.”

Bruno nodded. “I’ll check it out. See you later.” Along the fence he saw the fluttering of another of the leaflets inside a plastic bag, one of the kind that could be sealed and used in freezers. He took out a handkerchief and gingerly removed the pins that held it to the wire. Forensics might get something from it. There were several more attached along the fence and he took another. He nodded at Alain. “Do you want to come with me? You’ll have to move your tractor.”

As he reached the road, where the jam was steadily clearing itself, Bruno’s phone rang again. He checked the screen, saw the name “Horst,” and this time he answered. Horst Vogelstern was the German professor of archaeology in charge of the student volunteers at the dig. For more than twenty years Horst had spent his vacations at a small house he owned on the outskirts of St. Denis. He ran digs in the Vézère Valley that the local tourist board liked to proclaim as the cradle of prehistoric man. The first site of Cro-Magnon man had been found in the valley over a hundred years earlier, and the famous cave paintings of Lascaux were farther up the river. It was a source of pride to Bruno that he lived in this valley that could claim the longest continuous human habitation of anywhere on earth.

Bruno had attended a couple of Horst’s lectures, delivered in excellent if strongly accented French. He had visited his digs and read a couple of articles Horst had published in the popular monthly Dossiers d’Archéologie. Normally a quiet man, Horst became passionate when he talked of his subject, the great mystery of the replacement of the Neanderthals by the Cro-Magnons some thirty thousand years ago. Had it been violent? Did they interbreed? Were the Neanderthals wiped out by some plague or disease? It was, said Horst, the crucial question regarding our human origins. Whenever Horst spoke, Bruno caught a sense of the excitement that gripped the scholar.

“Horst,” he answered. “How are you? I was just on my way to see you at the dig.”

“Good, we need you here right away. And you had better bring a doctor with you. We’ve found a body.”

“Congratulations. Isn’t that what you wanted to find?”

“Yes, yes, but I want skeletons from the distant past. This one is wearing a St. Christopher medal around his neck and I think he’s also wearing a Swatch. This is your department, Bruno, not mine.”

Q:

Number of Orbits on ordered and unordered k-sets.

I do not understand several assertions in the proof below:
Let G be a permutation group on a set $\Omega$, and let $k$ be an integer s.t. $k<|\Omega|$. Then the following are equivalent:
(i) for all $\Delta$ with $|\Delta|=k$ the group $G_{(\Delta)}^{\Delta}=S_\Delta$, (where $G_{(\Delta)}^{\Delta}$ is the permutation group induced by the set-wise stabiliser of $\Delta$ on $\Delta$.)
(ii) the number of orbits of G as a permutation group  on the ordered subsets of k points of $\Omega$ is equal to the number of orbits of G as a permutation group on the unordered subsets of k points of $\Omega$.
Proof. The points of $\Delta$ form k! ordered sets of k points. Two of these ordered sets lie in the same orbit of G precisely when there exists an element of $G_{(\Delta)}^{\Delta}$mapping one onto the other. Consequently the number of different orbits of G in which the ordered sets of k points of $S_\Delta$ lie, is equal to the index of $G_{(\Delta)}^{\Delta}$ in $S_\Delta$. The result now follows.
The first two sentences are obvious, but why does the number of orbits equal the index in $S_\Delta$ ? Do the cosets also give orbits? And then how does the equivalence follow?
I have tried to use the orbit counting lemma, and simply to think about the structure, but something is not coming together.

A:

Fix $\Delta$ a set of $k$ points, and let $X$ be the set of $k!$ orderings of the elements of $\Delta$.  It is easy to check that the action of $G_{(\Delta)}^\Delta$ on $X$  is semiregular. (That is, all the point-stabilisers are trivial. Note that the points here are elements of $X$, not the original elements of $\Omega$ or $\Delta$.) It follows that all the orbits of $G_{(\Delta)}^\Delta$ have size $|G_{(\Delta)}^\Delta|$ and thus the number of orbits is $k!/|G_{(\Delta)}^\Delta|=|S_\Delta:G_{(\Delta)}^\Delta|$ .


Bing-Neel syndrome: an illustrative case and a comprehensive review of the published literature.
Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder within the spectrum of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma characterized by proliferation of plasma cells, small lymphocytes, and plasmacytoid lymphocytes. Central nervous system involvement is very rare (Bing-Neel [BN] syndrome). We present the case of a 62-year-old woman previously diagnosed with WM who presented with Bing-Neel syndrome and review the published literature which consists of only case reports. We performed a Medline search using the terms "Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and central nervous system" and "Bing-Neel" collecting data on presentation, evaluation, treatment, and outcome and summarizing these findings in the largest pooled series to date. Central nervous system manifestations are localization related. Serum laboratory testing reflects systemic disease. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis may show lymphocytic pleocytosis, elevated protein, and IgM kappa or lambda light chain restriction; cytology results are variable. Imaging is frequently abnormal. Biopsy confirms the diagnosis. Treatment data are limited, but responses are seen with radiation and/or chemotherapy. BN syndrome is a very rare complication of WM that should be considered in patients with neurologic symptoms and a history of WM. Treatment should be initiated as responses do occur that may improve quality of life and extend it when limited or no active systemic disease is present.


The Rotunda at the University of Virginia. (Norm Shafer/For The Washington Post)

When Haley Lind was found alone in a stranger’s bathroom, she was naked and in a drunken stupor, barely able to stand or speak, a raucous party raging around her. She awoke in her bed hours later, her head pounding, leaves in her hair, soaked in her own urine.

“I think I got assaulted last night,” she texted a friend the morning after the annual welcome-back-to-school Block Party at the University of Virginia. “Something just feels very wrong.”

In a dorm room about a mile away, a freshman athlete got up that same morning with a clear memory of his first college party, just days into his U-Va. career. At an off-campus residence where athletes lived, there had been the cups of a potent liquor drink and crowds of sloshed students. An alluring, petite blonde had led him into an upstairs bathroom for sex, a rash decision that would end up haunting him.

An epic first weekend at college, he said in an interview, turned into “living with a kind of shadow following you around in whatever you do.”

For both students, the night of Aug. 22, 2015, had not gone as planned. And their brief alcohol-drenched, party-fueled interaction — not unlike so many others on the nation’s college campuses — would derail both of their lives for much of an academic year and probably beyond. To him, in that moment, it was a thrilling hookup at a party. To her — as she now sees it — it was a terrifying assault. To U-Va., it was another drunken mess with no good answers.

[College sexual assault: 1 in 5 college women say they were violated]

The case is emblematic of the widespread frustrations faced by students, parents and administrators as they confront a problem that has existed for decades: the caustic combination of alcohol, drugs and sex, at times exacerbated by assault and predation. It also highlights the problems the Charlottesville flagship has had with alcohol and partying.

Recent misconduct investigations on the nation’s campuses, some involving NCAA athletes, have reinvigorated a widespread discussion about college sexual assault. Allegations involving the football program at Baylor University forced the resignation of its president and the ouster of its football coach. At Yale University, the captain of the basketball team sat out the school’s historic run to the NCAA tournament because he was fighting his expulsion for an alleged sex offense.

And at Stanford University in June, a freshman swimmer’s six-month sentence after he was convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman outside a fraternity party elicited heated debate about the ramifications of such attacks.

[‘We’re horrified’: At Stanford, the impact of a sexual assault is searing]

The Washington Post reconstructed the events of the night Lind says she was sexually assaulted at U-Va. — and the turmoil that followed — through a review of internal school records, witness statements and legal documents, as well as in numerous interviews, including with Lind, the freshman athlete she accused and their attorneys. Many spoke on the condition of anonymity about the events at Block Party because U-Va. officials instructed athletes, in a mass email, not to speak with reporters. According to internal U-Va. records, one coach instructed his athletes not to discuss what happened that night: “I told the team let’s just keep this in house,” the coach told U-Va., according to a transcript of a conversation with investigators obtained by The Post. “We’re just praying that that stays lidded up.”

U-Va. President Teresa A. Sullivan declined to comment on the specifics of the case.

The Post generally does not identify people who say they were sexually assaulted, but Lind agreed to speak on the record about her ordeal and the trauma she said she endured as she sought justice. She told The Post that by identifying herself she is lending accountability to her experience on a campus that was labeled as having a “hostile environment” for survivors of trauma and sexual violence by the U.S. Education Department last year.

“I’m tired of hiding behind it,” Lind said. “It needs to be heard and I want my version of events to be told truthfully.”

The Post also generally does not identify people accused of sexual assault unless they have been charged with a crime or have been found responsible in a disciplinary hearing. The freshman athlete spent his entire first year under the scrutiny of a rigorous internal U-Va. probe that wrapped up in May and found that he was not responsible for any violation of school policy. The U-Va. administration also notified the Charlottesville Police Department, which opened an investigation that has since been suspended; the freshman athlete has not been charged with a crime, and because the investigation has been suspended it is unlikely that he will be. He agreed to speak to The Post on the condition of anonymity.

Their ordeal provides a sobering portrait of the real-world consequences of college party culture. It exposes the challenges students face in deciphering consent while drunk and in piecing together fragmented memories. It also shows how schools are placed in an almost untenable position of trying to determine what happened and who is at fault — if anyone.

[Drinking is central to college culture — and to sexual assault]

U-Va. investigators Maureen Holland and Suzan Garson conducted 25 interviews and wrote a final report spanning 96 pages. One aspect of the case quickly became clear: The two students knew each other for half an hour before ending the night naked together in an upstairs bathroom.

Block Party

Block Party is an annual drinking tradition, with swarms of students converging on Wertland Street to kick off the school year. It is a massive fete that flows from house to house, and it is a particular draw for the school’s close-knit athletes and for freshmen new to campus.

Lind, 19, a scholarship sophomore volleyball player from Southern California, started the evening in her apartment, eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich for dinner and nursing a Smirnoff Ice. She then downed two shots of tequila and two shots of vodka with her teammates.

She had planned to drink that night but had spoken with a teammate about making sure they did not over-imbibe. The two students even wrote out an hour-by-hour drinking schedule that the athletes dubbed their “shot clock.”

Lind headed out to begin Block Party at a small house on Wertland sometime after 10 p.m.

The freshman athlete, too, joined friends for beer pong at the same house. There, members of the wrestling, soccer, swim, football and volleyball teams — among others — circulated, mingled, drank.

“There were, like, police vans like trying to break up the crowds,” a female athlete told U-Va. officials later. “It looked like a riot.”

A U-Va. spokesman said that Block Party is not condoned by the university, and in a statement provided to The Post, Sullivan acknowledged that “alcohol abuse, including underage drinking, is a challenge facing colleges and universities across the nation.”

[From the archives: U-Va.’s entrenched fraternity culture at tipping point]

The residents of the house had prepared for a chaotic night, purchasing five kegs of beer and a dozen 59-ounce “handles” of liquor for the house’s signature cocktail. They also had a four-gallon backpack sprayer that the investigators noted in their report was designed for spreading agricultural chemicals.

“It was like a mobile bartender,” one of the hosts told investigators.

One older student spent part of the evening patrolling the house.

“I wanted to make sure no one was like punching walls or you know, stealing stuff,” he told the U-Va. investigators. “I just made sure no one was puking anywhere, that no one was passed out in the front yard or anything like that.”

Amid the chaos, Lind and the freshman found each other about 11 p.m. As the freshman athlete introduced himself, another athlete walked over with the pesticide sprayer.

Both of the students opened their mouths for a squirt. Lind said the mixture flowed rapidly, ultimately dousing her white tank top. She remembers nothing more from that night, she told The Post.

“There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think about that night,” Lind said. “Imagining what could have happened, and that I will never know what happened that night, is the worst part of all.”

Lind, her friends and U-Va. investigators were left to piece together the rest in retrospect. Investigators found Lind’s description of her memory loss “credible” but also wrote that they were left to rely on the freshman athlete’s account of certain aspects of the night because he and Lind were, at times, alone.

Both were drunk

The freshman athlete said that he drank five beers and one and a half cups of the liquor drink. Lind said she had a few drinks, and witnesses differed on how she appeared at the party; one said she was “belligerent, like really, really drunk,” and another said that she was tipsy but that “it wasn’t like she was falling over or anything.”

After drinking the liquor concoction from the sprayer, Lind’s teammate left early, vomited the rest of the night and also had trouble remembering the party they had attended. Lind remained with the freshman athlete.

He told The Post that he and Lind were flirting, and he believed she was attracted to him — witnesses said they saw the two kissing, holding hands and caressing. He said Lind asked him back to her apartment, an invitation another student overheard. Instead, the freshman athlete suggested finding a room inside the house. She smiled, he told investigators, and agreed. They headed upstairs.

On the second floor, the athlete said, Lind walked into a bathroom and led him inside by the hand. They discussed using a condom, he said, and he took one out of his wallet. She unwrapped the condom and placed it on him, he said.

At one point, according to the report, the freshman athlete attempted to stop because he believed he heard someone try to enter the bathroom. He told investigators that Lind put her arm around his waist and said “keep going.”

According to the U-Va. report, an older resident of the house became aware that Lind and the freshman athlete were inside the bathroom and angrily climbed out onto a second story roof to slam on the window and get their attention. He yelled at them to break it up.

“Would you just give us a minute?” Lind said, the older resident told investigators.

A Washington Post-Kaiser poll released in June 2015 found that 1 in 5 women say they were sexually assaulted while in college. One of the poll’s findings was that students differ on what constitutes consent. We asked some other local college students to define the word. (Jayne W. Orenstein and Jorge Ribas/The Washington Post)

Startled, the freshman grabbed his clothes and bolted for the door, leaving Lind behind.

A few minutes later, a wrestler found Lind in the bathroom, naked but for her shoes. He said she stumbled drunkenly into the bathtub, apparently hitting her head, and said she was “too drunk to, like, realize what was going on.”

“Because [Lind] has no memory she is unable to offer any facts that support or refute others’ descriptions of the events,” Holland and Garson wrote. “We note that [the freshman athlete] is the only person who described what occurred in the bathroom.”

The wrestler helped Lind get dressed. Once outside, Lind and the wrestler began walking arm in arm when they were spotted at 11:45 p.m. by a Charlottesville police officer, who noticed that Lind was “very intoxicated,” was unable to walk without assistance, and had slurred speech and a vacant look in her eyes. Lind says she had no recollection of interacting with a police officer; she was allowed to continue home to her apartment.

When she woke up in the morning, Lind sensed something amiss.

“I felt like I had been violated in some way, but I didn’t know what it was,” she said, noting that when she realized she had wet the bed she became more concerned. “That scared me because I was so unconscious I could not wake myself up to get to the bathroom.”

Lind cautiously began trying to re-create her night. She reached out to the wrestler who had found her in the bathroom, and he told her that she was “very out of it” when he found her.

Overcome with worry, Lind confided in a friend, a U-Va. football player, telling him in a text message that she believed she had been assaulted but had no idea who the person was.

“R U ok?” He replied.

“No I have no memory,” she wrote. “No I’m physically okay but I don’t feel mentally okay. Something just feels very wrong.” She wrote that she was concerned someone at the party might have drugged her.

The investigators wrote that they determined there was no evidence that the liquor drink was tainted with drugs and that there was no evidence the freshman athlete had provided Lind with any alcohol.

A surprise meeting

Desperate for answers, Lind spoke to other athletes who attended Block Party, and they arranged a meeting between her and the freshman athlete so she could confront him.

The meeting caught the freshman athlete by surprise. He was taken to an off-campus apartment shared by two older athletes on his team. Aware that the conversation would involve a sensitive topic with potentially serious consequences, two students recorded the conversation in an effort to showcase their own innocence and to protect themselves from any possible allegations of misconduct. The recording was made without the knowledge of Lind or the freshman athlete; Virginia is a “one-party consent” state, which allows people to record conversations they are in without letting others know they are doing so.

The 30-minute recording, which was part of the U-Va. investigation and was obtained by The Post, captured the freshman athlete’s recounting of the events from 48 hours before. Lind said the meeting was perhaps the most embarrassing and awkward moment of her life; she listened to details of a sexual encounter she didn’t know had happened.

“All I wanted was answers, and I thought no matter how hard it is, I still want to know what happened to me,” she said.

The freshman athlete said that he also felt uneasy talking about what had happened: “It’s not a topic you’re comfortable talking about with people I didn’t know very well.”

The meeting quickly turned to the issue of consent.

“We need to hear what, what you said to her, what she said to you from your perspective, what you can remember, all that stuff,” said an upperclassman, whom The Post is not identifying to protect the freshman athlete’s identity.

The freshman athlete replied that “nothing in my mind, at any point, do I remember her telling me to stop something.”

“So you were under the impression through this that she was on board?” an older student asked.

“Yes,” the freshman replied, before emotion entered his voice. “When I woke up in the morning I was just not okay. If it hurt you, I’m sorry.”

Lind said she was so drunk that there’s no way she could have consented to sex: “I just think I was so incoherently drunk that like, there was, like, no way that this was okay.”

A teammate who accompanied Lind to the meeting then asked the freshman if there was any sign that Lind was incoherent. The freshman athlete responded: “I mean, I was so drunk myself.”

[College students remain deeply divided over what consent actually means]

The older athletes then demanded that the freshman apologize.

“You need to make damn sure that she knows this is never going to happen again, that you, like, repent for what you did,” one older student said.

The freshman athlete then said that right before the surprise meeting he had attended a mandatory orientation session for all members of the Class of 2019 hosted by Allen Groves, the university’s dean of students, concerning sexual assault on campus. It had been “probably like one of the hardest things to listen to,” the freshman athlete said. “But I want you to know how sorry I am for what I did.”

“Thank you,” Lind said. “I really appreciate it.”

When the meeting ended, Lind stood up to leave. The audio recording captures the sound of the door shutting before the older students start speaking again.

“You know what? You are one lucky motherf----r, holy s---t boy,” one upperclassman said.

Another older student said: “I’d buy a f-----g lottery card if I were you.”

The freshman athlete told The Post that the meeting overwhelmed him and that he “broke down and started crying” as soon as it ended.

He said he decided to apologize partly out of pressure from the older athletes and because he believed it would help Lind find peace.

“I think that they wanted this to be resolved just as much as I did and that my apology would help her move through this,” he said. “I felt bad she was upset, but I never thought I did anything wrong to her.”

Although Lind had attended the meeting to seek closure, she left unsettled. The emotional pain lingered. Her performance on the volleyball court suffered. She found it hard to concentrate on coursework. She lost her appetite and became withdrawn.

Lind said she struggled to come to terms with what happened and the shame that she believed she’d face as she considered taking her allegations to the administration, partly fearing that she’d be seen as a traitor for implicating another student athlete.

“I would have rather just forgotten about it and moved on,” Lind said. “But it doesn’t work that way. It was more of a psychological thing that affected me over time.”

The decision was taken out of her control in mid-September, when two seniors on the volleyball team told a female assistant coach about the incident. Obligated by strict policies, the coach used an online system called “Just Report It” on Sept. 14 to notify the U-Va. administration about the alleged assault.

Later that same day, Lind met with Associate Dean Nicole Eramo, the same U-Va. administrator who had worked with the woman who told Rolling Stone magazine that she had been gang raped in an account that was later disproven.

“She is concerned about reporting this more broadly because it will be hard on her,” Eramo wrote in her notes, according to the U-Va. report. “She is also concerned about causing problems between the teams and athletes.”

On Sept. 15, the university told the Charlottesville police and the prosecutor’s office about the sexual assault allegations. On Sept. 25, the administration sent letters to Lind and the freshman athlete to inform them that the university had opened an official inquiry, which would last months.

For the freshman athlete, the wait for a decision became a time to reflect. One night, he watched a feature-length ESPN documentary on the 2006 Duke lacrosse scandal, “Fantastic Lies.” The freshman athlete was mesmerized and found himself drawing comparisons to the Duke players who were alleged to have participated in the gang rape of a stripper. Eventually, the Duke lacrosse team members were exonerated.

“I thought, ‘If they can make it through that then I can make it through,’ ” he said.

Nobody wins

There is one thing about which both Lind and the freshman agree: Nobody wins.

“Since this event, I do not feel safe on Grounds and I do not feel safe for any of my friends,” Lind said, referring to the U-Va. campus. “I do not think anyone truly understands the situation that I was in that night or the long-term effects this has had on my life.”

During a hearing in the case, Lind said: “I am not the same and probably never will be the same happy positive person I used to be. It has consumed my life.”

The freshman athlete told The Post that the investigation left him drained.

“I was shocked, taken aback and really scared out of my mind to be accused of something so serious and that I knew wasn’t true,” he said.

The freshman athlete, meanwhile, saw his first year on campus derailed days after he arrived, and he quickly felt like an outcast.

“There were times I’d put my ball cap over my eyes and hope not to be noticed,” he said. “I grew wary of other people, and I kind of lost some trust in the system.”

A decision in the case came on April 13, when Holland and Garson issued their report. They wrote that even though Lind was drunk and had blacked out, she still might have been capable of providing consent.

According to U-Va.’s sexual assault policy, “incapacitation means that a person lacks the ability to make informed, rational judgments about whether or not to engage in sexual activity. A person who is incapacitated is unable, temporarily or permanently, to give Affirmative Consent because they are mentally or physically helpless, asleep, unconscious, or unaware that sexual activity is taking place.”

The policy also defines signs of incapacitation as “slurred or incomprehensible speech, unsteady gait, combativeness, emotional volatility, vomiting, or incontinence.”

Ultimately, the investigators concluded that the freshman athlete had no way to know that Lind had blacked out. Because he had just met her, and because she was capable of carrying on a conversation, walking upstairs and performing “fine motor tasks, such as unwrapping a condom,” he was unaware of her “possible incapacitation.”

In short, how was he supposed to know how drunk she was? The investigators determined that there was insufficient evidence to determine that the freshman was responsible for sexually assaulting Lind.

Mark Schamel, an attorney for the freshman athlete, commended U-Va. for what he said was “the most thorough and complete university investigation I have ever seen.”

“The investigation revealed what we knew from the beginning: My client was completely innocent and did nothing wrong,” Schamel said. “I have a great deal of respect for how my client faced these false allegations with such maturity and his cooperation with the investigation that exonerated him. U-Va. and Charlottesville law enforcement determined that my client did absolutely nothing wrong and had affirmative consent; the evidence proved that.”

Lind’s attorney, James Marsh, said he also believes U-Va. did a thorough job investigating the case, but he thought it would not be difficult to prove that Lind had been assaulted. The outcome shocked Marsh, who has handled dozens of cases during the past several years, including at U-Va. A final appeal in Lind’s case failed on May 23 before a three-member panel.

“Someone had to work very, very hard to reach a finding of no responsibility,” Marsh said. “Clearly, someone somewhere sees this case very differently from everyone else we’ve talked to. I’m at a loss to explain how U-Va. reached this decision. It just doesn’t make sense.”

The drawn-out investigation demoralized Lind, who has concerns about a process that found that someone as intoxicated as she was could give consent for sex to a total stranger. Prior to the university’s findings, Lind said she believed the freshman athlete should be held to account for what happened

“I’m not doubting myself for a second,” Lind said in December, months before U-Va. cleared the athlete. “He shouldn’t go on to live a normal life like he does now. He should have a consequence for it.”

Charlottesville Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Libby Killeen declined to comment on the possibility of charges against the freshman athlete. Charlottesville police Capt. Gary Pleasants said last week that the investigation into the matter has been “suspended,” effectively meaning that it is no longer active.

Warner “Dave” Chapman, the top prosecutor in Charlottesville, said that his office typically chooses to prosecute only “a handful” of sexual assault cases referred from U-Va. each year, largely because of a lack of evidence and because cases involving students frequently involve alcohol, which can complicate witness testimony.

“An incident affected by alcohol or other substances of abuse means the clarity of the evidence can be affected, and that can translate into, at times, a decision that a matter can’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” Chapman said. “That’s just the reality. If you can’t prove certain things, then you can’t bring a charge.”

Co-existing Disorders

Co-Existing Disorders and Mental Health Conditions
People with eating disorders often have other mental health challenges. Sometimes it is difficult to classify all the symptoms that are affecting one person. This is especially true for eating disorders, which have many signs and symptoms that overlap with other mental health conditions. It is very important for people to be assessed and treated for all their mental health challenges.

A mental health assessment usually includes questions about:

Anxiety:

Anxiety is very common in people with eating disorders. They often show signs of anxiety before they show signs of an eating disorder.

There is a strong connection between eating disorders and depression. Many people with eating disorders are also depressed. Depression may develop before an eating disorder, or come after, as a result of the eating disorder. You are more likely to be depressed if you have low self-esteem and poor body image.

Sometimes substances are misused as a way of trying to control appetite or weight (substances may include cigarettes, amphetamines, diet pills or laxatives – click here for more information). This can be very dangerous for your health. It can also make treatment of the eating disorder more complicated.

Trauma:

Some people with eating disorders have also had some form of trauma or abuse in their lives. Trauma is a risk factor for developing a variety of psychological disorders, including eating disorders.


Following reports that a flood of New Zealand gun owners have been voluntarily surrending their firearms in the wake of last Friday’s Christchurch mosque attack that left 50 dead, the numbers are in on how many Kiwis actually handed over their weapons.

Out of an estimated 1.2 million registered guns, New Zealand police report that as of Tuesday night, 37 firearms have beensurrendered nationwide, according to BuzzFeed.

No accounting was provided of how many people owned those guns, the types of firearms, or where they were surrendered.

The reports of citizens disarming themselves came after a Monday announcement by Prime minister Jacinda Ardern that several “in principle decisions” on gun control have been made by Cabinet ministers, while praising residents who have surrendered their guns to police.

So far, we know of four people who have; Green Party member John Hart and longtime gun owner “@SirWB” – who each turned in a rifle, a grandmother who goes by the Twitter handle “@FeyHag” who said she requested for her family’s guns to be handed in for destruction, and former New Zealand Army soldier Pete Breidahl – who said he warned local police of extremists at a local rifle club where he said he suspected the shooter was a member. – READ MORE

1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a test apparatus, a performance board, and a calibration board.
2. Related Art
A semiconductor test apparatus measures several types of characteristics of a semiconductor device under test (DUT). For example, a semiconductor test apparatus may input to a semiconductor device a test signal generated by an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). In this case, the measurement is performed after a waveform digitizer performs a high-speed and highly accurate digital conversion on the signal output from the semiconductor device. In this way, the semiconductor test apparatus can test whether the semiconductor device is operating properly.
Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-209354 and Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 3-296308 are related prior art documents.
The arbitrary waveform generator and the waveform digitizer include analog circuits that transmit analog signals. An ideal analog circuit outputs an analog signal having a prescribed frequency corresponding to the input signal. In practical application, however, the analog circuit outputs an analog signal that includes harmonic wave components caused by the non-linear characteristics of the elements in the analog circuit. As a result, waveform distortion occurs in the output signal.
By inputting a signal having a single frequency and no distortion into the analog circuit and calculating the difference between the input signal and the signal output by the analog circuit to identify the distortion, a distortion signal can be acquired that indicates the distortion caused by the analog signal. In other words, the non-linear distortion caused by the analog circuit can be compensated for if the acquired distortion signal is subtracted from the signal output by the analog circuit. However, different identification techniques are used for the arbitrary waveform generator and the waveform digitizer. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an apparatus that performs the identification for the arbitrary waveform generator and an apparatus that performs the identification for the waveform digitizer, which increases the size and the cost of the semiconductor test apparatus.

Food deprivation increases oral and intravenous drug intake in rats.
Rats given continuous access to etonitazene hydrochloride in their drinking water (5 micrograms per milliliter) more than doubled their drug intake while deprived of food. Another group of rats with implanted jugular catheters self-administered etonitazene (10 micrograms per kilogram) intravenously on a continuous reinforcement schedule, and the number of infusions increased significantly on days when they were deprived of food. These results suggest that feeding condition may be a powerful determinant of drug-reinforced behavior.

Rogers to expand advanced wireless networks to British Columbians with over $450 million investment

Wireless network to improve safety along highways, power local
businesses and deliver the ultimate mobile video experiences to
customers

VANCOUVER, June 12, 2014 /CNW/ - Rogers Communications, together with
Premier Christy Clark, today announced a planned investment of over
$450 million in British Columbia over the next three years to expand
its wireless network in over 70 communities in the northeast, Interior,
Lower Mainland, and Vancouver Island. As part of this investment,
Rogers will also enhance existing LTE connections with 700 MHz spectrum
to allow customers to access the internet in even more places,
including deep into buildings, elevators and basements. When complete,
Rogers will have invested $2 billion in its network in B.C., including
bringing the world's leading wireless network technology, LTE, to rural
and urban customers across the province.

"We believe in the growth and future of B.C. and are investing in the
province and local communities," said Phil Lind, vice chairman and
executive vice president, regulatory, Rogers Communications. "Today's
commitment to further enhance our network infrastructure will give
British Columbians reliable and consistent access to the latest
technology across the province."

"The majority of British Columbians use a smartphone at work, school, or
at home - and demand is rising fast," said Premier Christy Clark. "This
investment means more British Columbians, in more parts of the
province, will have more and better wireless internet access, which
will allow them to stay connected to news, opportunities, and each
other."

The Rogers wireless network will give more British Columbians reliable
access to emergency services across the province, including along
highways and in remote communities. Mobile data terminals in ambulance,
fire and police vehicles are powered by wireless networks and give
first responders access to police databases, building blueprints and
transmit vital signs on a critically injured patient directly to
doctors so they can give more advanced treatment en route to hospital.

British Columbia's growing economy, which includes 385,900 small
businesses, relies on network infrastructure to communicate,
collaborate and compete1. The network investment by Rogers will give local industry access to
the latest technology and always-on wireless Internet to fuel growth
and connections to business partners across the province and
internationally. The northeast, which continues to lead the province in
the number of self-employed British Columbians, is identified as a key
region to benefit from the Rogers network expansion2.

Rogers is also meeting consumer demand for data by deploying the latest
wireless internet network technology to over ninety-eight per cent of
B.C's population. Mobile video alone is expected to account for over
two-thirds of the world's data traffic by 20183. In British Columbia, over sixty-four per cent of residents own a
smartphone and use it on average 1.7 hours per day to check email
(77%), search online (69%) and stream video (33%)4.

British Columbians already benefit from Rogers LTE, Canada's fastest
wireless network. These speeds mean people can watch videos on their
phones with limited buffering or delays and nearly immediately access
information and maps online. Rogers has already rolled out 700 MHz
spectrum to communities in Vancouver, offering improved signal quality
in basements, elevators and in buildings with thick concrete walls, and
will continue to expand to other parts of the province.

(National Sentinel) Diplomacy: President Donald J. Trump has agreed to sit down with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un sometime in the next two months in what would be the first face-to-face talks between the leaders of both countries in decades.

The breakthrough comes at a time when North Korea is considered close to perfecting its nuclear weapons and missile programs but is being choked economically by crippling sanctions.

The New York Post reported that the historic meeting was set up by the South Korean government of President Moon Jae-in, who has always favored diplomacy over military action to settle the issue of the North’s nuclear program.

The Trump administration acknowledged Thursday that the invitation to meet was delivered to the White House, then provided some details outside the West Wing.

“He expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible,” South Korean National Security Director Chung Eui-yong said of Kim. “President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong-Un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization.”

According to Chung, the North also agreed to suspend nuclear and missile tests during such future talks, something the U.S. has long demanded.

The administration said the meeting will be held “at a place and time to be determined.”

Trump announced the meeting in a tweet Thursday evening.

“Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze,” he wrote. “Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!”

Trump and Kim have traded barbs over the past year, with the president labeling the North Korean leader “Little Rocket Man” and Kim called Trump a “mentally deranged U.S. dotard.”

Critics say it may be that Kim is merely buying time so he can complete his nuclear program, as North Korean leaders in the past have done. One of those critics is former UN Ambassador John Bolton, who served under George W. Bush.

“I would say that the reason the North is now trying to look reasonable is that they’re so close to succeeding in getting deliverable nuclear weapons that they want to get across the finish line by distracting us,” Bolton toldFox News‘ Laura Ingraham. “They’ve done it countless times before. It’s always worked for them.”

He said the U.S. should show that it has not been distracted by keeping up the sanctions and military pressure in the meantime.

He said Trump inherited a bad situation from Obama regarding North Korea, with equally bad options — letting the North get nuclear weapons or using military force to destroy the program, which could result in a nuclear exchange.

“And I think one thing the North now believes is that [Trump is] not afraid to carry through on that option,” Bolton said. “He doesn’t want to do it — let’s be clear. But unlike some of his predecessors, he’s not afraid to do it to protect American citizens. And that should have an effect on North Korea and China.”

There has never been a face-to-face meeting between an American and North Korean leader. The two countries remain technically at war following an armistice signed following the 1950-53 Korean War.

Relationship between arterial hypertension and renal damage in chronic kidney disease: insights from ABPM.
To date, few studies have used ambulatory pressure monitoring (ABPM) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) before the start of dialysis treatment. The aim of this study was therefore to ascertain the correlates of arterial hypertension assessed by ABPM in CKD patients at their first referral to a nephrologist. We studied 244 (164 men; mean age 63 years) nondiabetic patients with CKD. Each patient had blood pres-sure (BP) measured by 24-hour ABPM, creatinine clearance (CrCl) estimated according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula, and Hgb concentration, serum lipids, iPTH, daily urinary protein (Uprot) and sodium (UNa) excretion assessed using routine methods. According to ABPM data analysis, 81 patients were normotensives, 78 were stable hypertensives, 26 had day-time hypertension and 59 had nocturnal hypertension. ANOVA showed both lower CrCl (p=0.0033), and higher Uprot (p<0.0001) in stable and nighttime hypertensives as compared with normotensives and daytime hypertensives. In the whole group each set of both systolic (SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) readings was directly associated with both age and Uprot (p<0.05), and inversely with both CrCl and Hgb (p<0.05). In multivariate analysis, however, Uprot emerged among modifiable risk factors, as the most significant predictor of both SBP and PP; the strength of this association was in the order nighttime PP > nighttime SBP > 24-hour PP > daytime PP > daytime SBP > 24-hour SBP. In CKD patients, proteinuria is the strongest correlate of arterial hypertension and particularly of increased nocturnal PP, possibly as an expression of vascular damage. On the basis of these results, ABPM appears to be the most reliable tool for detecting the associations between raised BP (particularly nighttime hypertension) and renal damage in CKD patients not yet on renal replacement therapy (RRT).
