With the nation still in shock from the killing of an Indian engineer Feb. 22, an Indian American businessman who was well-liked in his neighborhood was shot dead outside his home in Lancaster, South Carolina, on the night of Marvh 2.
A 43-year-old Indian-origin store owner in the US has been shot dead outside his home, just days after an Indian engineer was killed in Kansas in a hate crime shooting that had sent shockwaves across the country, reports PTI.
Harnish Patel, the owner of a convenience store in Lancaster County, South Carolina, was found dead of gunshot wounds in the front yard of his home on Thursday, coroner and police officials said.
Patel closed his store and drove in his silver minivan to his nearby home where authorities believe he was confronted by his killer. The store is about 6 km from his house, The Herald reported. He had locked up his nearby store less than 10 minutes before he was found dead, police said.
Local officials in Lancaster said they do not believe that Patel's killing was a hate crime and that investigations are continuing, according to The Herald. "I don't have any reason to believe that this was racially motivated," County Sheriff Barry Faile said Mar. 3.
A tearful customer, Nicole Jones, told the station that when someone didn't have money, Patel gave them food. "I would have no idea who would do this to him as good as he is to everybody," she said. A store employee, Keira Baskin, said that he only wanted the best for his employees and his family.
An IANS report from New Delhi adds: The Indian Consulate in Atlanta, Georgia, has deputed an official to meet the family of Harnish Patel, it was learnt Mar. 4. "CGI Atlanta is in touch with the family. It is deputing a consular official to meet the family and offer condolences and any required assistance," a source here said.

Amarnath Temple | History, Architecture and Facts of Amarnath
Appealing to the Adventurous Longing for a Glimpse of Stalagmite Shivalinga at Amarnath Temple
Among several temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Amarnath temple is regarded the most sacred one for it is a cave in a ravine in the Himalayas. Famously called Amarnath cave, the Shiva temple is situated in Jammu and Kashmir. The Amarnath mandir is positioned at an altitude of about 12,760 feet high. One among the holiest shrines, it is reached on foot during the summer when the temple is open.
You can reach the temple through Pahalgam, which is recognized as a hill station and a popular tourist destination. Most of the time the Amarnath cave is covered by snow, except during summer when pilgrims visit it to have a 'darshan' (sight) of Lord Shiva. With mountains around, people trek through the mountains daring the climate and the terrain to visit the temple every year. One of the 51 Shakti Peethas, the temple cave carries much significance owing to its age-old history.

Fascinating History of Amarnath Temple
The legend says that the Amarnath Mandir was first discovered by Sage Bhrigu. It is believed that the Kashmir Valley was under water a long time ago and it was Sage Kashyap, who had the water drained through rivers, as well as creeks. Sage Bhrigu was the first to visit the cave and have the sight of Shivalinga (Lord Amarnath) when the water drained. People who heard about this visited the place.
There are stories that the local Gadaria community happened to visit the Amarnath cave and saw the glimpse of stalagmite in the form of Shivalinga. There is evidence of the location of the cave described by Francois Bernier, who was a French physician. He wrote in his book "Travels in Mughal Empire" about a grotto or cave with amazing congelation. The congelation he mentioned is the stalagmites formed due to congealing of water dripping from the roof of the rock. People worshipped this for it took the form of Shivalinga, which is an abstract representation of Lord Shiva.
Get to Know the Significance of Amarnath Temple
The Amarnath temple holds the glory of being the place which Shiva visited with his consort Parvati. The legend says that Goddess Parvati once asked God Shiva about the reason for wearing a garland of skulls (Mundamala). To this, Shiva replied that he wears it for her and every time she is born, he used to add a skull to the garland. This made Parvati surprised and confused, so she asked him why she dies every time, while he is immortal.
To this, Shiva answered that it is because of the Amar Katha. Parvati insisted Shiva to explain it. On her insistence, Shiva took her to a secluded place, where nobody could listen to him. While going, he left Nandi, the bull at Pahalgam and the crescent moon on his head at Chandanwari. He also left behind the snake that adorned his neck at the banks of Sheshnag and his son Ganesha at the Mahagunas mountain. Furthermore, he also left the five important elements of the universe, which are water, air, fire, earth and sky at Panjtarni for they are instrumental for the birth of new life.
He, along with Parvati, performed the tandav dance to symbolize sacrificing the earth. The place he chose to confide the secret of his immortality is the Amarnath cave. On reaching the cave, he closed his eyes and went into meditation. He called Rudra, also called Kalagni, and asked him to lit all around the cave with fire so that nobody could listen to what Shiva confides. Once he was sure of having no one nearby, he narrated the story of how the world came into being and he became immortal. Accidentally, there was an egg of a pigeon which laid protected beneath the skin of the deer on which Shiva was sitting. It is believed that two pigeons which were born out of this egg became immortal. The cave was rediscovered later and there are several stories behind it.
Some Facts about Amarnath Temple
Devotees visit the Amarnath temple in June and they go on a journey trekking the mountain for days to reach the cave and have the glimpse of Shivalinga made of snow. Here are some interesting facts about the Amarnath temple.
The temple carries the significance of being one of the 51 Shakti Peethas and therefore, it is a holy shrine, where you can cleanse your sins by praying to Lord Shiva.
This is the place where Shiva told the truth of his immortality to Goddess Parvati.
There are people who say that they have seen a pair of pigeons braving the cold in the cave. They are believed to be immortal for having heard the story from Lord Shiva.
The places, such as Pahalgam, Chandanbadi, Sheshnag, Mahagunas and Panjtarni carry a lot of significance for they are the places where Lord Shiva stopped during his journey to Amarnath.
On the way to the cave, you have to go through Pissu Top. It is believed that this place had a pile of dead bodies of demons, who fought with Lord Shiva and perished.
The Lake Sheshnag still has blue water that is quite cold.
The Amarnath cave is 130 feet high and the Shivalinga, which is a stalagmite formed by the freezing of water drops that trip from the roof to the floor is seen growing vertically to look like a huge Shivalinga. During the period from May to August when the snow on the Himalayas melts, the Shivalinga waxes. Owing to the water that seeps into the rock, the Shivalinga slowly decreases and disappears.
It is believed that the Shivalinga grows and then reduces and disappears due to the phases of the moon that become brighter during summer.
You can see three Shiva Lingas, which are naturally formed and they represent Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesh.
The Amarnath cave is said to be over 5000 years old.
Festivals at the Holy Amarnath Shrine
As for the festivals, the most significant event that is connected with this sacred Amarnath temple is the Amarnath yatra, which is also called a holy pilgrimage. It is a yearly event when the pilgrims start on a journey during the Shravani Mela festival during June to August. This 45-day season connects with the month of Shraavana. People perform or take part in the 'pratham pujan' before starting the Amarnath yatra.
Get to Know the Amarnath Temple Timings
Generally, the Amarnath pilgrimage is undertaken when the stalagmite Shivalinga is in the waxing phase and it reaches the apex during summer. The Amarnath yatra schedule is in the end of June or July and until August. Depending on the climate, the duration is fixed, where sometimes it is fixed for a shorter duration.
The pilgrimage to 12,760 feet high Amarnath temple starts with a trek of 43 kilometers on the mountainous terrain from the place called Nunwan, as well as Chandanwari base camps in Pahalgam. The long trek is undertaken by halting at Sheshnag and Panchtarni camps in the night. You can reach the temple after a few days. There is no timing for you to worship the Shivalinga anytime when you reach there.
It takes about five to six days to reach the Amarnath cave from Pahalgam. Of course, there is a shorter route that is just about 16 km long. Nevertheless, it is difficult to climb the steep gradient, which begins from Baltal and goes through the places like Domel, Barari and Sangam before you reach the temple.
How to Reach Amarnath Temple?
You can start your Amarnath temple journey from any of the two places like Pahalgam and Baltal. To reach these two places, there are buses operated by the Jammu state transport corporation and some private operators.
There are also helicopter services from Baltal and Pahalgam helipad. The route is Baltal/ Pahalgam to Panjtarni and back. From Panjtarni it is just 6 kilometers by trek to the Amarnath cave.
You have train services until Jammu from various parts of the country. There are also flight services to Srinagar International Airport, from where you need to catch a bus to reach Baltal/ Pahalgam. Pilgrims who are on Amarnath yatra are required to prepare themselves for they need to trek a long distance, which involves physical exhortation. You have to practice breathing and improve your physical fitness. It is advisable to carry a lot of food with high calories and warm water to keep you healthy.
There are a lot of tents and camps for the pilgrims to take rest during the journey. You can also hire ponies that help carry your wares during the journey.

9 There is no difference between Turkey and ISIS / ISIL, said Turkish Prime Minister
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the now the target of condemnation for saying that the Turkish version of Islam differs by 360 degrees from the one followed by a militant group Islamic State (ISIS / ISIL).
Davutoglu is visiting the Turkish television tried to refute the claim that the failure of the Turkish government to deal with the Islamic State resulting in a double bomb attack in Ankara which killed 99 people.
www.liveleak.com/view?i=c86_1439419584
"There is 360 degrees, not 180 degrees, the differences between Islam that we are defending the one that's on your mind DAES," said Davutoglu visiting on Wednesday on TV station "Show TV", using another name for the Islamic state, AFP reported.
"One (Islamic state) is the exclusive, and the second (Turkish) is tolerant and an example of how Islam and democracy can coexist," he added.
He also talk about his view of war in Syria, Russia and refugee crisis.
The opposition and bloggers rushed to point out that 360 degrees implies full circle - the opposite of what Davutoglu wanted to say.

Look! Webb Telescope finds icy ingredients for organic chemicals in deep space
January 23, 2023 - by t3i1m - Leave a Comment
Astronomers found some key ingredients for life, and for livable worlds, in a dark, dense cloud of gas about 550 light years away.
The chemicals that astronomers recently found, clinging to tiny dust grains in a cold cloud of molecular gas, aren't the building blocks of life—– but they're the building blocks for the building blocks. And those precursors, as chemists call them, could be a pretty common part of the starter pack for newly formed planets and solar systems, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
What's New — Using the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRSpec), Leiden University astronomer Melissa McClure spotted the telltale chemical fingerprints of water ice, along with frozen carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane, and even methanol in a dense gas cloud called Chameleon I.
New stars are forming in the orange region of the molecular cloud Chameleon I, on the left side of this JWST NIRCam image (it's called a molecular cloud because it's made mostly of molecular hydrogen: pairs of hydrogen items bonded together). The blue area on the right is a cold, dense region of gas where stars haven't formed yet, and it's already seeded with several types of ice. The fainter orange stars are in the distant background. STScI
New stars are beginning to coalesce and flare to life in the cloud, but the region McClure and her colleagues studied with JWST is the coldest part of the cloud, far from the bustle and warmth of the stellar nursery. Eventually, however, that will change. And someday, when planets form around those future stars, their starter package will include some surprisingly complex organic molecules — the kinds of things the building blocks of life are made of. Molecules like the ones that make up the newly-detected ices are the basic building blocks for things like sugars and amino acids.
"This could mean that the presence of precursors to prebiotic molecules in planetary systems is a common result of star formation, rather than a unique feature of our own Solar system," says Leiden Observatory astronomer Will Rocha, a co-author of the recent study, in a statement to the press.
And this isn't the first time astronomers have found ingredients for biochemistry in interstellar space.
Digging Into The Details — One day, the ices floating in the darkness of Chameleon I will stock exoplanet atmospheres with things like water, carbon dioxide, and organic molecules. But for now, what McClure and her colleagues saw are just a few tiny crystals here and there, clinging to tiny grains of interstellar dust — and absorbing starlight that passes through the cloud from distant stars.
Each type of ice absorbs different wavelengths of light, so by looking for telltale dips in the brightness of light from stars on the far side of the cloud — NIR38 and J110621 — at those wavelengths, McClure and her colleagues could find the chemical fingerprint of several types of ice.
This graph shows light being absorbed by ice particles in several wavelengths, as detected by JWST's NIRSpec instrument. STScI
"In regions that are this cold and dense, much of the light from the background star is blocked, and Webb's exquisite sensitivity was necessary to detect the starlight and therefore identify the ices in the molecular cloud," says Klaus Pontoppidan, JWST project scientist and a co-author of the recent study, in a press statement.
What's Next – McClure and her colleagues' search for ice in Chameleon I is part of a program they call the Ice Age Project, in which the astronomers hope to trace what happens to ice from the "dark chemistry" of cold molecular clouds to the lives of comets on the outskirts of newly-formed solar systems. JWST will help them gather most of that data.
"This will tell us which mixture of ices – and therefore which elements – can eventually be delivered to the surfaces of terrestrial exoplanets or incorporated into the atmospheres of gas giants or ice planets," says McClure in a press statement.
Other groups of astronomers are also searching for ice — especially water — in interstellar "reservoirs."

I love making business owners smile by working with them to achieve their goals and vision.
In my early days (years ago) I didn't ask very much and it's no surprise that my clients weren't always satisfied. Now I ask more up front to make sure that we're a good fit together and that I understand what you're trying to achieve and the story you're trying to tell.
If you're on LinkedIn please connect with me on LinkedIn, either directly or through a common connection.
If you're on Facebook you can follow my FB business page.
I look forward to learning more about your website and social media project.
This is your opportunity to tell me why you need an online presence and what it should achieve. The more information you give me here, the better the solution I will be able to provide. Ignore any questions that are not relevant.

August Mobile SDKs
August had perfected access to their hardware, but it was time to open the doors to other developers.
August Home is the brainchild of famed industrial designer Yves Behar and Jason Johnson. Founded in 2013, the company designs and manufactures beautiful, connected home security products. August's product lineup has grown to include connected locks, doorbells, and cameras.
The company had raised over $70MM from-top tier venture capitalists like Maveron and Bessemer Venture Partners and was acquired by Assa Abloy in October of 2017.
August's connected products are controlled with a smartphone through a mix of Bluetooth and WiFi. To facilitate this functionality, August engineers had to develop sophisticated and proprietary networking technology.
In the spring of 2017, August was approached by a large partner to integrate their core wifi and Bluetooth technology into the partner's application. This technology, however was deeply embedded within August's existing mobile application code bases and was not easily transportable.
If the integration were to happen, large portions of the existing core application logic would need to be extracted and organized into a consumable package.
The technology leadership team at August decided to build mobile Libraries. Libraries would allow the current partner to quickly integrate August technology into their application.They would also open the door for other potential integration partnerships in the future. Mesh partnered with August and was asked to deliver Libraries for both Android and iOS.
Library Build
We worked closely with the mobile engineering team to get up to speed on the technical details of August's connected devices and networking logic. We then carefully evaluated the existing mobile codebases to determine which units of logic would need to be included in the Library. After identifying these components, we were able to extract the relevant code into a standalone project and assemble a cohesive package. We also added unit test coverage to ensure the Libraries functioned as expected
Interface design is critical to the successful implementation of any developer product. With an emphasis on developer experience and simplicity, we worked to design an interface that was predictable and easy to integrate. After designing and implementing this public interface, we also produced thorough API documentation and an implementation guide.
Design Implementation
We implemented redesigns of several portions of August's application so that the user interface design would match the partner application designs. We also added several new views to the application to match partner specific requirements.
Legacy Refactor
Significant portions of Augusts codebase needed to be refactored to support the partner requirements. We refactored where necessary and added comprehensive test coverage.
Framework Automation
We delivered automation tools that would allow August mobile engineers to build, test and distribute framework binaries. This automation eliminates the potential for human error when building the Libraries and makes it trivial to ship releases.
Mesh engineers were able to complete the August Libraries for both Android and iOS ahead of schedule. We developed a close working relationship with members of August mobile teams to build high-quality Libraries that are simple to use and easy to implement. August was able to deliver the Libraries to their partner for integration on time and on budget.

ELLA BELFANTI Set To Unveil Fervent New Single 'Hold You In'
Brisbane singer-songwriter, Ella Belfanti is set to release her fervent new single, Hold You In on September 15, 2020. An emotive tale of young love and not wanting to move on, even though you know you must.
A songbird and a talented, unique guitar player, Ella's style is similar to that of John Butler. Using her guitar as her whole band; she uses the one instrument to deliver sounds that cover the strings, percussion and everything in between. At only 21 years of age, Ella's music, lyrics, talent and delivery has a maturity well beyond her years.
Ella gives some insight into her new song: "I wrote Hold You In after my first ever relationship came to an end. It's about knowing that you need to let something go, but wanting to hold onto it anyway, even though you know it's not right for you."
Hold You In was recorded at Studio Circuit on the Gold Coast with Melbourne producer George Carpenter, who then mixed it back in Melbourne at The Aviary. It was mastered on the Gold Coast by Paul Blakey.
The music video was filmed and edited by Zach Finlayson in Ella's bedroom in Brisbane. Ella explains: "The concept was to recreate the moment that I wrote the song and played it to myself for the first time, in its most raw and organic form. My songwriting is basically self therapy; it's how I deal with the world and process my experiences. So we wanted to capture the moment that I came to terms with the experience and decided to let it go."
Ella will celebrate the release of the new single with a show at one of Brisbane's most loved live music venues, The Triffid on the 23rd of September. Event page here.
PRE SAVE HOLD YOU IN HERE
"…And I wanted to be closer
I wanted to be warm
But I'd flown across the sky into the coldest blizzard storm
And it's ironic
That everything I set out to find
Is exactly what you weren't, but somehow I didn't mind…"

Fair Fashion Wishlist: Tassels & Pompons.
Ah yes, I have kind of neglected this category in the last few weeks. But hey, don't worry cause it is back and finer than ever (at least I hope so, haha). This time, the focus is on playful summer pieces that were all made under fair working conditions and bring a little hippie feel into your everyday life.
1. This necklace by Made features a sweet crescent pendant and goes with absolutely anything. Made produces all their jewellery in African workshops. Each piece is handmade, making it absolutely unique.
2. I want to be a hippie… This headband by Made is just gorgeous and makes me wonder when and why I have stopped wearing delicate headbands.
3. Pure summer feeling! This pompon dress is made by Pitusa and produced under fair working conditions in the USA.
4. I have even tried on these tassel jeans by The Reformation when I was in their flagship store in LA. I fell in love head over heels, but didn't take them home with me, since there is a pair of bootcut denim in my closet, just waiting to be DIY-ed.
5. Last but not least, this minimal circular cuff by Folkdays goes with everyday looks and evening attire alike. Definitely has the potential to become a staple piece in any wardrobe, not just hippie inspired summer looks.
On WHAT PIXIES WEAR, Sabrina Bianca shows that style and sustainability can definitely go hand in hand. 2015 marks the year she has made it a main goal to develop a more sustainable shopping behaviour and carry this message out into the world.

Ern, M., and Coauthors, 2016: Satellite observations of middle atmosphere gravity wave absolute momentum flux and of its vertical gradient during recent stratospheric warmings. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 16, 9983-10019, doi:10.5194/acp-16-9983-2016.
Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are circulation anomalies in the polar region during winter. They mostly occur in the Northern Hemisphere and affect also surface weather and climate. Both planetary waves and gravity waves contribute to the onset and evolution of SSWs. While the role of planetary waves for SSW evolution has been recognized, the effect of gravity waves is still not fully understood, and has not been comprehensively analyzed based on global observations. In particular, information on the gravity wave driving of the background winds during SSWs is still missing. We investigate the boreal winters from 2001/2002 until 2013/2014. Absolute gravity wave momentum fluxes and gravity wave dissipation (potential drag) are estimated from temperature observations of the satellite instruments HIRDLS and SABER. In agreement with previous work, we find that sometimes gravity wave activity is enhanced before or around the central date of major SSWs, particularly during vortex-split events. Often, SSWs are associated with polar-night jet oscillation (PJO) events. For these events, we find that gravity wave activity is strongly suppressed when the wind has reversed from eastward to westward (usually after the central date of a major SSW). In addition, gravity wave potential drag at the bottom of the newly forming eastward-directed jet is remarkably weak, while considerable potential drag at the top of the jet likely contributes to the downward propagation of both the jet and the new elevated stratopause. During PJO events, we also find some indication for poleward propagation of gravity waves. Another striking finding is that obviously localized gravity wave sources, likely mountain waves and jet-generated gravity waves, play an important role during the evolution of SSWs and potentially contribute to the triggering of SSWs by preconditioning the shape of the polar vortex. The distribution of these hot spots is highly variable and strongly depends on the zonal and meridional shape of the background wind field, indicating that a pure zonal average view sometimes is a too strong simplification for the strongly perturbed conditions during the evolution of SSWs.

\section{\bf Introduction}
\par A pseudo-Riemannian metric $g$ on a smooth manifold $M$ is called a Ricci soliton if there exists a smooth vector field $V$, such that
\begin{equation}\label{e:1.1a}
\frac{1}{2}\pounds_{V}g + Ric = \lambda g,
\end{equation}
where $\pounds_{V}$, $Ric$ and $\lambda$ denotes the Lie derivative in the direction of $V$,  the Ricci tensor and a real number respectively. A Ricci soliton $g$ is said to be a shrinking, steady or expanding according to whether $\lambda>0$, $\lambda=0$ or $\lambda<0$, respectively. In the last years, the interest in studying Ricci solitons has considerably increased among theoretical physicists in relation with string theory, and the fact that equation (\ref{e:1.1a}) is a special case of the Einstein field equations. Ricci solitons were introduced in Riemannian geometry \cite{Hamilton} as the self-similar solutions of the Ricci flow, and play an important role in understanding its singularities. A wide survey on Riemannian Ricci solitons may be found in \cite{Cao}. After their introduction in Riemannian case, the study of pseudo-Riemannian Ricci solitons attracted a growing number of authors.
\par In parallel with contact and complex structures in the Riemannian case, paracontact metric structures were introduced by S. Kaneyuki and F. L. Williams  \cite{kk} in pseudo-Riemannian settings, as a natural odd-dimensional counterpart to para Hermitian structures.  A systematic study of paracontact metric manifolds started with the paper \cite{zamkov}. The technical apparatus introduced in  \cite{zamkov} is essential for further investigations of paracontact metric geometry. The problem of studying Ricci solitons in the context of paracontact metric geometry was initiated by G. Calvaruso and D. Perrone \cite{Calvaruso}. The case of Ricci solitons in three - dimensional paracontact  geometry was treated by C. L. Bejan and M. Crasmareanu in  \cite{Crasmareanu2} respectively G. Calvaruso and A. Perrone in \cite{CP}. For some recent results and further references on pseudo-Riemannian Ricci solitons, we may refer to \cite{Blaga3, BCGG, CF, CZ ,PT} and references therein.
\par Recently, G. Kaimakamis and K. Panagiotidou \cite{KP} initiated the notion of $*$-Ricci soliton where they essentially modified the definition of Ricci soliton by replacing the Ricci tensor $Ric$ in (\ref{e:1.1a}) with the $*$-Ricci tensor $Ric^*$. A pseudo-Riemannian metric $g$ on a smooth manifold $M$ is called a $*$-Ricci soliton if there exists a smooth vector field $V$, such that
\begin{equation}\label{e:1.1}
\frac{1}{2}(\pounds_{V}g)(X, Y) + Ric^{*}(X, Y) = \lambda g(X, Y),
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}\label{e:1.2}
Ric^{*}(X,Y)=\frac{1}{2}(trace\{\phi\cdot R(X, \phi Y)\}),
\end{equation}
for all vector fields $X, Y$ on $M$. Here, it is mentioned that the notion of $*$-Ricci tensor was first introduced by S. Tachibana \cite{Tachibana} on almost Hermitian manifolds and further studied by T. Hamada \cite{Hamada} on real hypersurfaces of non-flat complex space forms.
\par Motivated by the above mentioned works, in this frame-work, we make an effort to study a $*$ -Ricci soliton on paracontact geometry mainly concerned the special case of para-Sasakian manifold. Para-Sasakain manifolds have been studied in recent years by many authors, emphasizing similarities and differences with respect to the most  well known Sasakian case. In this junction, it is suitable to mention that, Ricci silitons on para-Sasakian manifolds were studied in the paper \cite{DGP}. In the present paper, our main object is to study $*$-Ricci soliton within the frame-work of para-Sasakian manifold and prove the following result.
\begin{theorem}\label{thm1}
Let $M(\phi, \xi,\eta, g)$ be a $(2n+1)$-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold. If $g$ is a $*$-Ricci soliton on $M$, then either $M$ is $\mathbb{D}$-homothetic to an Einstein manifold, or the Ricci tensor of $M$ with respect to canonical paracontact connection vanishes. In the first case, the soliton vector field is Killing and in the second case, the soliton vector field leaves $\phi$ invariant.
\end{theorem}
\section{\bf Preliminaries}
In this section we collecting some basic definitions and formulas on paracontact metric manifolds and para-Sasakian manifolds. All the manifolds are assumed to be connected and smooth. We may refer to \cite{ACGL, CKM, SS, DGP, VD, zamkov} and references therein for more information about para-Sasakian geometry.
\par An almost paracontact structure on a $(2n + 1)$-dimensional (connected) smooth manifold $M$ is a triple $(\phi, \xi, \eta)$, where $\phi$ is a $(1, 1)$-tensor, $\xi$ a global vector field and $\eta$ a 1-form, such that
\begin{equation}\label{e:2.1}
 \phi(\xi)=0, \,\,\,  \eta \cdot \phi=0, \,\,\,  \eta(\xi)=1, \,\,\, \phi^{2}=Id-\eta\otimes\xi(1),
\end{equation}
and the restriction $J$ of $\phi$ on the horizontal distribution ker$\eta$ is an almost paracomplex structure (that is, the eigensubbundles $D^+, D^-$ corresponding to the eigenvalues $1$,$-1$ of $J$ have equal dimension $n$). A pseudo-Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$ is {\it compatible} with the almost paracontact structure $(\phi, \xi, \eta)$ when
\begin{equation}\label{e:2.2}
g(\phi X, \phi Y) = −g(X, Y) + \eta(X)\eta(Y)
\end{equation}
In such a case, $(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ is said to be an almost paracontact metric structure. Remark that, by (\ref{e:2.1}) and (\ref{e:2.2}), $\eta(X) = g(\xi, X)$ for any compatible metric. Any almost paracontact structure admits compatible metrics, which, by (\ref{e:2.2}), necessarily have signature $(n+1, n)$. The {\it fundamental 2-form} $\phi$ of an almost paracontact metric structure $(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ is defined by $\phi(X, Y)=g(X, \phi Y)$, for all tangent vector fields $X, Y$. If $\phi=d\eta$, then the manifold $(M, \eta, g)$ (or $M(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$) is called a {\it paracontact metric manifold and g the associated metric}. If the paracontact metric structure $M(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ is normal, that is, satisfies $[\phi, \phi]+2d\eta\otimes\xi=0$, then $(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ is  called para-Sasakian. Equivalently, a para contact metric structure $(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ is para-Sasakian if
\begin{equation}\label{e:2.3}
(\nabla_X \phi)Y=-g(X, Y)\xi+\eta(Y)X,
\end{equation}
for any vector fields $X$, $Y$ on $M$, where $\nabla$ is Levi-Civita connection of $g$. Alternatively, a paracontact metric structure on $M$ is said to be para-Sasakian if the metric cone is para-Kaehler \cite{ACGL}. Any para-Sasakian manifold is $K$-paracontact, and the converse also holds when $n=1$, that is for three-dimensional space. From (\ref{e:2.3}), it follows that
\begin{equation}\label{e:2.4}
\nabla_X \xi=-\phi X.
\end{equation}
Also in a $(2n+1)$-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold, the following  relations hold:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{e:2.5} R(X,Y)\xi&=&\eta(X)Y-\eta(Y)X,\\
\label{e:2.6} R(X,\xi)\xi&=&-X+\eta(X)\xi,\\
\label{e:2.7} Ric(X,\xi)&=&-2n\eta(X),\\
\label{e:2.8} Q\xi&=&-2n\xi,
\end{eqnarray}
for any $X, Y$ on $M$. Here, $R$ denotes the curvature tensor of $g$ and $Ric$ denotes the Ricci tensor defined by $S(X,Y)=g(QX, Y)$, where $Q$ is the Ricci operator.
\begin{lemma}\label{l:2.1}
Let $M(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ be a para-Sasakian manifold. Then
\begin{center}
(i) $\nabla_{\xi}Q=0$,  and (ii) $(\nabla_{X} Q)\xi=Q\phi X+2n\phi X$.
\end{center}
\end{lemma}
{\bf Proof:} Since $\xi$ is Killing, we have $\pounds_V Ric=0$. This implies ($\pounds_{\xi} Q)X=0$ for any vector field $X$ on $M$. From which it follows that
\begin{eqnarray}\nonumber
0&=&\pounds_{\xi}(QX)-Q(\pounds_\xi X)\\
&=&\nabla_{\xi} QX+\nabla_{QX}\xi-Q(\nabla_\xi X)+Q(\nabla_X \xi)\nonumber\\
&=&(\nabla_\xi Q)X+\nabla_{QX} \xi +Q(\nabla_X\xi)\nonumber.
\end{eqnarray}
Using (\ref{e:2.4}) in the above equation gives $\nabla_{\xi}Q=Q\phi-\phi Q$.
Since the Ricci operator $Q$ commutes with $\phi$ on para-Sasakian manifold, we have $(i)$.
Next, taking covariant differentiation of (\ref{e:2.8}) along an arbitrary vector field $X$ on $M$ and using (\ref{e:2.4}), we obtain $(ii)$. This completes the proof.
\par If the Ricci tensor of a para-Sasakian manifold $M$ is of the form
\begin{equation}
\nonumber Ric(X,Y)=A g(X,Y)+B\eta(X)\eta(Y),
\end{equation}
 for any vector fields $X, Y$ on $M$, where $A$ and $B$ being constants, then $M$ is called an $\eta$-Einstein manifold.
\par The 1-form $\eta$ is determined up to a horizontal distribution and hence $\mathbb{D}=Ker\eta$ are connected by $\widetilde{\eta}=\sigma \eta$ for a positive smooth function $\sigma$ on a paracontact manifold $M$. This paracontact form $\bar{\eta}$ defines the structure tensor $(\bar{\phi}, \bar{\xi}, \bar{g})$ corresponding to $\widetilde{\eta}$ using the condition given in the paper \cite{zamkov}. We call the transformation of the structure tensors given by Lemma 4.1 of \cite{zamkov} a gauge (conformal) transformation of paracontact pseudo-Riemannian structure. When $\sigma$ is constant this is a $\mathbb{D}$-homothetic transformation. Let $M(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ be a paracontact manifold and
\begin{equation}
\nonumber \bar{\phi}=\phi,\,\,\, \bar{\xi}=\frac{1}{\alpha}\xi,\,\,\,\bar{\eta}=\alpha\eta,\,\,\, \bar{g}=\alpha g+(\alpha^2-\alpha)\eta\otimes\eta,  \,\,\, \alpha=const.\neq 0
\end{equation}
 to be $\mathbb{D}$-homothetic transformation. Then $(\bar{\phi}, \bar{\xi}, \bar{\eta}, \bar{g})$ is also a paracontact structure. Here the para-Sasakian structure is preserved since the normality conditions is preserved under $\mathbb{D}$-homothetic transformations. Using the formula appeared in \cite{zamkov} for $\mathbb{D}$-homothetic deformation, one can easily verify that if $M(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ is a (2n+1) - dimensional $(n>1)$ $\eta$-Einstein para-Sasakian structure with scalar curvature $r \neq 2n$, then there exists a constant $\alpha$ such that $M(\bar{\phi}, \bar{\xi}, \bar{\eta}, \bar{g})$  is an Einstein para-Sasakian structure. So we adopt the following result.
 \begin{lemma}
 Any $(2n+1)$-dimensional $\eta$-Einstein para-Sasakian manifold with scalar curvature not equal to $2n$ is $\mathbb{D}$-homothetic to an Einstein manifold.
\end{lemma}
\par The canonical paracontact connection on a paracontact manifold was defined by S. Zamkovoy \cite{zamkov}. On an integrable paracontact metric manifold such  a connection is unique and is defined in terms of the Levi-Civita connection by
\begin{equation}\label{e:2.9}
\widetilde{\nabla}_X Y=\nabla _X Y+\eta (X)\phi Y-\eta(Y)\nabla _X \xi+(\nabla_X \eta)(Y)\xi.
\end{equation}
\par A canonical paracontact connection on a para-Sasakian manifold which seems to be the paracontact analogue of the (generalized) Tanaka-Webster connection.
\par In view of (\ref{e:2.4}) in (\ref{e:2.9}), we arrive at
 \begin{equation}\label{e:2.10}
\widetilde{\nabla}_X Y=\nabla _X Y+\eta (X)\phi Y+\eta(Y)\phi X+g(X, \phi Y)\xi
\end{equation}
for all vector fields $X$, $Y$ on $M$. The connection $\widetilde{\nabla}$ given by (\ref{e:2.10}) is called a canonical paracontact connection on a para-Sasakian manifold. Indeed, the Ricci tensor $\widetilde{Ric}$ of a $(2n+1)$-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold with respect to canonical paracontact connection $\widetilde{\nabla}$ is defined by
\begin{equation}\label{e:2.11}
\widetilde{Ric} (X,Y)=Ric(X,Y)-2g(X,Y)+(2n+2)\eta(X)\eta(Y)
\end{equation}
for all vector fields $X$, $Y$ on $M$. For details we refer to \cite{IVZ} and \cite{zamkov}.
\section{\bf Proof of Theorem \ref{thm1}}
\par In this section, before presenting our main result about $*$-Ricci soliton on a para-Sasakian manifold, we state and prove some lemmas which will be used to prove Theorem \ref{thm1}.
\begin{lemma}\label{l:3.1}
The $*$-Ricci tensor on a $(2n+1)$-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold $M(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ is given by
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.1}
Ric^{*}(X,Y)=-Ric(X,Y)-(2n-1)g(X,Y)-\eta(X)\eta(Y)
\end{equation}
for any vector fields $X, Y$ on $M$.
\end{lemma}
{\bf Proof:} The Ricci tensor $Ric$ of a $(2n+1)$-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold $M(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$  satisfies the relation (c.f. Lemma 3.15 in \cite{zamkov}):
\begin{eqnarray}\label{e:3.2}
Ric(X,Y)&=&\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1}R'(X, \phi Y, e_i, \phi e_i)\nonumber\\
&-&(2n-1)g(X,Y)-\eta(X)\eta(Y)
\end{eqnarray}
for any vector fields $X, Y$ on $M$. Using the skew-symmetric property of $\phi$, we write
\begin{equation}\nonumber
\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1}R'(X, \phi Y, e_i, \phi e_i)=\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1}(R(X, \phi Y), e_i, \phi e_i)=\sum_{i=1}^{2n+1}g(\phi R(X, \phi Y), e_i, e_i).
\end{equation}
 By virtue of this, it follows from (\ref{e:3.2}) that
 \begin{equation}\label{e:3.3}
  \sum_{i=1}^{2n+1}g(\phi R(X, \phi Y) e_i, e_i)=-2 Ric(X,Y)-2(2n-1)g(X,Y)-2\eta(X)\eta(Y).
 \end{equation}
 Making use of (\ref{e:1.2}) in (\ref{e:3.3}), we obtain (\ref{e:3.1}).
\begin{lemma}\label{l:3.2}
For a para-Sasakian manifold, we have the following relation
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.4}
(\pounds_V \eta)(\xi)=-\eta(\pounds_V \xi)=\lambda.
\end{equation}
\end{lemma}
{\bf Proof:} By virtue of Lemma \ref{l:3.1}, the $*$-Ricci soliton equation (\ref{e:1.1}) can be expressed as
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.5}
(\pounds_{V}g)(X,Y)=2Ric(X,Y)+2(2n-1+\lambda)g(X,Y)+2\eta(X)\eta(Y).
\end{equation}
Setting $Y=\xi$ in (\ref{e:3.5}) and using (\ref{e:2.7}) it follows that $(\pounds_{V}g)(X,\xi)=2\lambda \eta(X)$. Lie-differentiating the equation $\eta(X)=g(X, \xi)$ along $V$ and by virtue of last equation, we find
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.6}
(\pounds_{V}\eta)(X)-g(\pounds_{V}\xi, X)-2\lambda \eta(X)=0.
\end{equation}
Next, Lie-derivative of $g(\xi, \xi)=1$ along $V$ and equation (\ref{e:3.6}) completes proof.
\begin{lemma}\label{l:3.3}
Let $M(\phi, \xi, \eta, g)$ be a $(2n+1)$-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold. If $g$ is a $*$-Ricci soliton, then $M$ is an $\eta$-Einstein manifold and the Ricci tensor can be expressed as
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.17}
Ric(X,Y)=-\left[2n-1+\frac{\lambda}{2}\right] g(X,Y)+\left[\frac{\lambda}{2}-1\right]\eta(X)\eta(Y).
\end{equation}
for any vector fields $X, Y$ on $M$.
\end{lemma}
{\bf Proof:} First, taking covariant differentiation of (\ref{e:3.5}) along an arbitrary vector field $Z$, we get
\begin{eqnarray}\label{e:3.7}
&&(\nabla_Z \pounds_{V}g)(X,Y)\nonumber\\
&=& 2\{(\nabla_Z Ric)(X,Y)-g(X, \phi Z)\eta(Y)-g(Y, \phi Z)\eta(X)\}.
\end{eqnarray}
According to Yano \cite{KY}, we get
\begin{eqnarray}\nonumber
&&(\pounds_{V}  \nabla _Z g - \nabla _Z \pounds_{V} g - \nabla_{[V, Z]g})(X,Y)\\
&=& -g((\pounds_V \nabla)(Z,X),Y)-g((\pounds_V \nabla)(Z,Y),X), \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
for any vector fields $X, Y, Z$ on $M$. In view of the parallelism of the pseudo-Riemannian metric $g$, we get from the above relation that
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.8}
(\nabla_Z \pounds_{V}g)(X,Y)=g((\pounds_{V} \nabla)(Z, X),Y)+g((\pounds_{V} \nabla)(Z, Y),X).
\end{equation}
Comparing (\ref{e:3.7}) and (\ref{e:3.8}), we have
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{e:3.9}
&&g((\pounds _V \nabla)(Z,X),Y)+g((\pounds _V \nabla)(Z,Y),X)\nonumber\\
&=&2\{(\nabla_Z Ric)(X,Y)-g(X,\phi Z)\eta(Y)-g(Y, \phi Z)\eta(X)\}.
\end{eqnarray}
By a straightforward combinatorial combination of (\ref{e:3.9}) gives
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{e:3.10}
g((\pounds_V \nabla)(X,Y),Z)&=&-(\nabla_Z Ric)(X,Y)+(\nabla_X Ric)(Y,Z)\nonumber\\
&+&(\nabla_Y Ric)(Z,X) + 2g(X, \phi Z)\eta(Y)\nonumber\\
&+& 2g(Y, \phi Z)\eta(X).
\end{eqnarray}
Replacing $Y$ by $\xi$ in (\ref{e:3.10}) and Lemma \ref{l:2.1}, we have
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.11}
(\pounds_{V} \nabla)(X,Y)=2(2n-1)\phi X+2Q\phi X.
\end{equation}
Further, differentiating (\ref{e:3.11}) covariantly along an arbitrary vector field $Y$ on $M$ and then using the relations (\ref{e:2.3}) and (\ref{e:2.8}), we get
\begin{eqnarray}\label{e:3.12}
&&(\nabla_Y\pounds_{V}\nabla)(X, \xi)+(\pounds_{V}\nabla)(X, \phi Y)\\
&=&2\{(\nabla_Y Q)\phi X+\eta(X)QY+(2n-1)\eta(X)Y+g(X,Y)\xi\}.\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
Again, according to Yano \cite{KY} we have the following commutation formula
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.13}
(\pounds_{V}R)(X,Y)Z=(\nabla_X \pounds_{V}\nabla)(Y,Z)-(\nabla_Y \pounds_{V}\nabla)(X,Z).
\end{equation}
Replace $Z$ by $\xi$ in (\ref{e:3.13}) and taking into account of (\ref{e:3.12}), we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}\label{e:3.14}
&&(\pounds_{V}R)(X, Y)\xi+(\pounds_{V}\nabla)(Y, \phi X)-(\pounds_{V}\nabla)(X, \phi Y)\nonumber\\
&=&2\{(\nabla_X Q)\phi Y-(\nabla_Y Q)\phi X+\eta(Y)QX-\eta(X)QY\nonumber\\
&+&(2n-1)(\eta(Y)X-\eta(X)Y)\}.
\end{eqnarray}
Taking $\xi$ for $Y$ in (\ref{e:3.14}), then using (\ref{e:2.8}), (\ref{e:3.11}) and Lemma
 \ref{l:2.1}, we have
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.15}
(\pounds_{V}R)(X, \xi)\xi=4\{QX+(2n-1)X+\eta(X)\xi\}.
\end{equation}
Next, taking Lie-derivative of (\ref{e:2.6}) along $V$ and taking into account of (\ref{e:2.5}) and (\ref{e:3.4}) one can get
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.16}
(\pounds_{V}R)(X, \xi)\xi=(\pounds_{V} \eta)(X)\xi-g(\pounds_{V} X, \xi)-2\lambda X.
\end{equation}
Comparing (\ref{e:3.15}) with (\ref{e:3.16}), and making use of (\ref{e:3.6}), we obtain the required result.\\
\par Now, we state and prove the main result in the following:\\
\
\\
{\bf Proof of Theorem \ref{thm1}:} Making use of (\ref{e:3.17}), the soliton equation (\ref{e:3.5}) takes the form
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.17b}
(\pounds_{V} g)(X,Y)=\lambda\{g(X,Y)+\eta(X)\eta(Y)\}.
\end{equation}
Taking Lie-differentiation of (\ref{e:3.17}) along the vector field $V$ and using (\ref{e:3.5}) we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}\label{e:3.17a}
(\pounds_{V} Ric)(X,Y)&=&\left(\frac{\lambda}{2}-1\right)\{\eta(Y)(\pounds_{V}\eta)(X)+\eta(X)(\pounds_{V}\eta)(Y)\}\nonumber\\
&-&\left(2n-1+\frac{\lambda}{2}\right)\lambda\{g(X,Y)+\eta(X)\eta(Y)\}.
\end{eqnarray}
Other hand, differentiating the equation (\ref{e:3.17}) covariantly along an arbitrary vector field $Z$ on $M$ and then using (\ref{e:2.4}) we find
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.18}
(\nabla_{Z} Ric)(X,Y)=\left(1-\frac{\lambda}{2}\right)\{g(X, \phi Z)\eta(Y)+g(Y, \phi Z)\eta(X)\}.
\end{equation}
In view of (\ref{e:3.18}), equation (\ref{e:3.10}) transforms into
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.19}
(\pounds_{V} \nabla)(X,Y)=-\lambda\{\eta(Y)\phi X+\eta(X)\phi Y\}.
\end{equation}
Differentiating (\ref{e:3.19}) covariantly along an arbitrary vector field $Z$ on $M$ and making use of (\ref{e:2.3}) and (\ref{e:2.4}) yields
\begin{eqnarray}\label{e:3.20}
\nonumber (\nabla_Z\pounds_{V} \nabla)(X,Y)&=&\lambda\{g(Y, \phi Z)\phi X+g(X, \phi Z)\phi Y+g(X,Z)\eta(Y)\xi\nonumber\\
&+&g(Y,Z)\eta(X)\xi-2\eta(X)\eta(Y)Z \}.
\end{eqnarray}
Using (\ref{e:3.20}) in commutation formula (\ref{e:3.13}) and using (\ref{e:2.4}) we produce
\begin{eqnarray}\label{e:3.21}
\nonumber (\pounds_{V} R)(X,Y)Z&=&\lambda\{g(\phi X, Z)\phi Y- g(\phi Y, Z)\phi X+2g(\phi X, Y)\phi Z \nonumber\\
&+&g(X,Z)\eta(Y)\xi- g(Y,Z)\eta(X)\xi-2\eta(Y)\eta(Z)X\nonumber\\
&+&2\eta(X)\eta(Z)Y\}.
\end{eqnarray}
Contracting (\ref{e:3.21}) over $Z$, we have
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.22}
(\pounds_{V} Ric)(Y,Z)=2\lambda\{g(Y,Z)-(2n+1)\eta(Y)\eta(Z)\}.
\end{equation}
Comparison of (\ref{e:3.17a}) and (\ref{e:3.22}) gives
\begin{eqnarray}\label{e:3.23}
&&\left(\frac{\lambda}{2}-1\right)\{\eta(Y)(\pounds_{V} \eta)(Z)+\eta(Z)(\pounds_{V} \eta)(Y)\}	\nonumber\\
&-&\left(2n-1+\frac{\lambda}{2}\right)\lambda\{g(Y,Z)+\eta(Y)\eta(Z)\}\nonumber\\
&=&2\lambda\{g(Y,Z)-(2n+1)\eta(Y)\eta(Z)\}.
\end{eqnarray}
Replacing $Y$ by $\phi^2 Y$ in (\ref{e:3.23}) and then using (\ref{e:2.1}) and (\ref{e:3.4}) we have
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.24}
\left(\frac{\lambda}{2}-1\right)(\pounds_{V}\eta)(Y)\eta(Z)=\lambda\left[1+2n+\frac{\lambda}{2}\right]g(Y,Z)-2n\lambda\, \eta(Y)\eta(Z).
\end{equation}
Taking account of (\ref{e:3.24}) in (\ref{e:3.23}) and then plugging $Z$ by $\phi Z$, we obtain
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.25}
\lambda\left[2n+1+\frac{\lambda}{2}\right]g(Y,\phi Z)=0.
\end{equation}
Since $\phi(Y, Z)=g(Y, \phi Z)$ is non-vanishing everywhere on $M$, we can obtain either $\lambda=0$ or $\lambda=-2(2n+1)$.\\
{\bf Case I:}
If $\lambda=0$, from (\ref{e:3.17b}) we see that $\pounds _V g=0$, that is, $V$ is Killing. From (\ref{e:3.17}) we see that
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.26}
Ric(X, Y)=-(2n-1)g(X,Y)-\eta(X)\eta(Y).
\end{equation}
Contracting the equation (\ref{e:3.26}) we get $r=-4n^2$, where $r$ is the scalar curvature of the manifold $M$. This shows that $M$ is an $\eta$-Einstein manifold with scalar curvature $r\neq 2n$. Hence, we conclude that $M$ is $\mathbb{D}$-homothetic to an Einstein manifold.\\
{\bf Case II:} If $\lambda=-2(2n+1)$, then replacing $Z$ by $\xi$ in (\ref{e:3.24}) and then setting $Y$ by $\phi Y$ of the resulting equation gives
$(\frac{\lambda}{2}-1)(\pounds _V \eta)(\phi Y)=0$. Since $\lambda=-2(2n+1)$, we have $\lambda\neq 2$. thus we have $(\pounds _V \eta)(\phi Y)=0$. Taking $Y$ by $\phi Y$ in the foregoing equation and using (\ref{e:2.1}), we obtain
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.28}
(\pounds _V \eta)(Y)=-2(2n+1)\eta(X).
\end{equation}
Taking exterior differentiation $d$ on (\ref{e:3.28}) we have
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.29}
(\pounds _V d\eta)(X,Y)=-2(2n+1)g(X, \phi Y),
\end{equation}
noting that $d$ commutes with $\pounds_V$. Further, taking the Lie-derivative of the well known equation $d\eta(X,Y)=g(X, \phi Y)$ along the soliton vector field $V$ provides
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.30}
(\pounds _V d\eta)(X,Y)=(\pounds _V g)(X,\phi Y)+g(X, (\pounds _V \phi)Y).
\end{equation}
From (\ref{e:3.17b}) we also deduce
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.31}
(\pounds _V g)(X,\phi Y)=-2(2n+1)g(X, \phi).
\end{equation}
Using (\ref{e:3.29}) and (\ref{e:3.31}) in (\ref{e:3.30}) we find $\pounds _V \phi=0$. Hence, the soliton vector field $V$ leaves $\phi$ invariant. \\
Further, using $\lambda=-2(2n+1)$ in (\ref{e:3.17}) it follows that
\begin{equation}\label{e:3.27}
Ric(X, Y)=2g(X,Y)-(2n+2)\eta(X)\eta(Y).
\end{equation}
Contracting (\ref{e:3.27}) we obtain $r=2n$ (i.e., the manifold $M$ cannot be $\mathbb{D}$-homothetic to an Einstein manifold). Then, by taking account of (\ref{e:3.27}) in (\ref{e:2.11}) we obtain $\widetilde{Ric}(X,Y)=0$. That is, the Ricci tensor with respect to the connection $\widetilde{\nabla}$ vanishes. This completes the proof of our theorem \ref{thm1}.
\section{\bf Conclusion}
The study of Ricci solitons on Riemannian manifolds and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds is an issue, which is of great importance in the area of differential geometry and in physics as well. Ricci soliton generalizes the notion of Einstein metric on a Riemannian manifold. The $*$-Ricci soliton is a new notion not only in the area of differential geometry but in the area of physics as well. Note that, a $*$-Ricci soliton is trivial if the vector field $V$ is Killing, and in this case the manifold becomes $*$-Einstein, i.e., $Ric^* = \lambda g$. So far we know that, the notion of $*$-Ricci tensor appears on complex and contact manifolds only. However, some classifications are available in the literature in terms of the $*$-Ricci tensor. On the other hand, in the recent years, many authors have studied and pointed out the importance of paracontact geometry and, in particular, of para-Sasakian geometry, by giving the relationships with the theory of para-Kahler manifolds and its role in pseudo-Riemannian geometry and mathematical physics. Here, making use of the formulas of para-Sasakian manifold one can easily deduce an expression of the $*$-Ricci tensor. Due to the pressence of some extra terms in the expression of $*$-Ricci tensor the defining condition of the $*$-Ricci soliton is different from Ricci soliton. Thus, in this connection, we are interested and studied $*$-Ricci solitons within the framework of para-Sasakian manifold. The results obtained in this paper are playing an important role in differential geometry and mathematical physics.

Stacksteads
Community group take on Eggheads
Stacksteads Countryside Park Group is more used to carrying out environmental projects – everything from cleaning litter to masterminding the improvements of Western Park playground.
A community-minded group from Stacksteads took on TV's brightest brains The Eggheads... but unfortunately the quiz masters won.
On a whim organiser Jackie Oakes suggested that a team, named The Outsiders, to challenge the TV brainboxes and six 'volunteers' stepped forward.
Although filmed in February last year, the show was only broadcast on BBC2 on Monday night, meaning the team had to keep the result a secret for longer than those gaining an honour from the Queen.
Jackie said: "We managed to defeat three of the Eggheads with our knowledge of music, history and geography,
"Unfortunately I was the only one to lose out to an Egghead, but the odds were clearly stacked in our favour when it came to the final questions – we had four on our team versus just two Eggheads.
"Sadly the questions proved just too tricky but we did taken them to 'sudden death' after all three final questions were posed we were drawn at one apiece.
"Then our luck ran out. However the Eggheads were really nice as was host Jeremy Vine and the experience was enjoyed by the whole team.
"We will never forget on which river West Point is based."
Had the group won the £2,000 prize, the money would have gone towards redevelopment work at Western Park.
Jackie added: "We didn't disgrace ourselves and we certainly put Stacksteads on the map. It was a long day – from 6am to 11pm with a whistle-stop visit to Glasgow and who knows... we may put ourselves forward again."
The team comprised: Jackie Oakes, Linda Ward, Liz Hinchliffe, Chris Farnsworth and former Free Press news editor Catherine Smyth, with Darren Ashworth as a standby. They all met up at Rosemount Working Men's Club in Stacksteads, along with other SCPG members, to watch the broadcast.
In the meantime, some of the Egghead challengers, who are also members of Bacup And Stacksteads Carnival Organisation, are involved with organising a quiz for the carnival at the Rose 'n' Bowl in Stacksteads on Wednesday, February 4 at 7pm.
Teams can have up to four members and cost is £4 each with a potato pie supper or £2 just for the quiz.
Prizes include: four bottles of wine donated by Danielle and Darren's Childminding Services, Stacksteads, prizes from quizmaster Mike Platt including a L'Oreal gift bag and a deluxe bird box and more.
To book places email info@basco.org.uk stating supper or quiz.

August 5, 2020 August 6, 2020 Fascinating Politics
When State's Rights Was Progressive
Although the term state's rights is commonly associated with the political right in the United States and indeed most conflicts that have involved states vs. feds in recent years have had the right on the side of the states. However, this isn't a rule and the earlier history of state's rights proves it. The original advocates of state's rights were Jeffersonian and Jacksonian Democrats. The Federalists and Whigs believed in an active federal government to help the nation grow. This meant infrastructure projects such as bridges and canals so commerce could expand and permitting companies to form in multiple states. They viewed the federal government as a cooperative helper to business, not as a check on its power. The Federalists and Whigs were the supporters of the growth of corporations and the Jacksonians regarded state's rights as a useful tool to combat such a growing power that Jackson and his supporters viewed as harming farmers and common laborers. The growth of the power and influence of corporations would reach its peak during the Gilded Age.
Jackson and the Second Bank of the United States
In 1819, the Supreme Court ruled in McCulloch v. Maryland that the Second Bank of the United States was constitutional by a 7-0 vote and that it could not be taxed by states. The political leaders of the state of Maryland had opposed the bank and had passed a tax on all branches of banks that weren't chartered by the legislature. The Second Bank was intended to help the growth of commerce, and Maryland sought to restrict it. Although Thomas Jefferson was the first major figure to espouse state's rights, the official founding of the Democratic Party was under Andrew Jackson, a major proponent of state's rights.
President Jackson and his supporters were deeply suspicious of concentrated economic power and took a dim view of the financial power of the Northeast. They opposed paper money as they believed it contributed to "a corrupting and demoralizing system that made the rich richer, and the poor poorer" (Remini, 127). Thus, only gold and silver coins were acceptable currency for them. They saw as the epitome of concentrated economic power in the Second Bank of the United States, a private institution created by Congressional charter to manage fiscal transactions for the U.S. government, with the federal government owning 20% of its capital. Jackson doubted the bank's constitutionality and to make matters worse allegations abounded that the bank under its chief, Nicholas Biddle, had taken actions that favored John Quincy Adams in the 1828 election. Biddle was encouraged by Jackson's supporters to select candidates from both parties as Bank of the United States officers, but he feared that using partisan balance as a criterion would inevitably detract from the quality of people who were officers of the bank.
Some of the opposition was based on fear of what federal authority on this issue could do to the institution of slavery. As future President John Tyler of Virginia, who would side with the Confederacy during the War of the Rebellion, warned, "if Congress can incorporate a bank, it might emancipate a slave" (Dangerfield, 98). As president, he would veto a proposed reconstitution of the Second Bank of the United States. Andrew Jackson was openly hostile, stating to a delegation of bankers discussing the reauthorization of the charter of the Second Bank of the United States, "You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out" (U.S. History). In 1832, Bank President Nicholas Biddle and his allies in the Senate, Henry Clay of Kentucky and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, attempted to reauthorize the bank four years early to provide an election dilemma for President Jackson and to ensure the bank's extension.
If Jackson signed reauthorization of the bank, it would please Pennsylvania voters but it would displease his farmer and laborer constituency and if he were to veto reauthorization it would cost him in New England and in Pennsylvania. Congress voted to reauthorize and a majority of his cabinet supported it, but as Jackson said to Martin Van Buren in response to these efforts, "The Bank is trying to kill me, Sir, but I shall kill it!" (U.S. History) Jackson vetoed the Bank Recharter Bill, and ordered deposits removed from the Bank and placed in state banks. Before the veto of the Second Bank of the United States, presidents saw it as their place to only veto legislation they believed unconstitutional, but Jackson used arguments in his veto message that were ideological and political as well as constitutional. He stated in his veto message, "The rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes…When the laws…make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society – the farmers, mechanics, and laborers – have a right to complain of the injustice to their government" (Boissoneault). This set the precedent of presidents vetoing legislation they disagreed with and we haven't looked back since. Jackson's opposition, which controlled Congress at the time, was furious and passed a resolution censuring the president for "abuse of power". In 1833, Biddle tried to reassert his power by constricting loans from the bank, which caused a mild economic downturn. Ultimately this power play didn't help his case for extending the bank's charter and in 1836 the Second Bank of the United States was ended. The economic repercussions of this wouldn't be clear until after Jackson's presidency, and his successor Martin Van Buren would take the political heat for it.
Jackson's action against the commercial interests of the Northeast came to be greatly celebrated among Democrats for a long time and, along with his advocacy for working class people and farmers, resulted in them venerating Jackson with Jefferson as the greatest presidents. Indeed, it wasn't until about the last twenty years that Andrew Jackson lost his spot on top ten lists for historians. His veto of the Second Bank also made him a pioneer of class politics and inspired future populist and progressive campaigns and planks, including that of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The progressive movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the first place was a response to the politics, economics, and social conditions of the Gilded Age. The Democratic Party at its start in the 1830s was, paradoxically to the eyes of the modern viewer, both for state's rights and economically progressive.
Jackson, however, had his limits on state's rights. He would not, for instance, permit South Carolina's nullification of the Tariff of 1832 and used the navy to enforce it. He called anyone who would propose to secede from the United States a traitor and threatened the hanging of political leaders who tried it. Ultimately, Jackson signed into law a bill with lower tariffs. Tariffs, as I have written before, were until the 1970s understood as a position of the political right, as Americans for Democratic Action repeatedly counted votes for lower tariffs favorably in their legislative scorecards.
Historian Views on State's Rights
Historian Michael Kazin (2017) writes, "The [Democratic] party's founders in the 1830s believed that the federal government needed to stay out of most economic matters; but unlike conservative Republicans today, they did so because they thought that an interventionist government benefited the rich and well-connected". Other progressives viewed state's rights similarly…in 1927 Vernon L. Parrington, a left-wing literary historian, wrote with lament that the decline of state's rights with the justified end of slavery opened the door to "the principle of capitalistic exploitation" (Genovese). In 1946, liberal historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a founder of the left-wing Americans for Democratic Action lobbying group, wrote the Pulitzer prize winning The Age of Jackson, which celebrated Jackson as a hero for the working class and emphasized his and his coalition's checking of the power of business. This was the basis FDR could justify his legacy as like that of Jackson despite his different approach. As historian Eugene Genovese (2001) writes, "…although we tend to think of federal intervention as "progressive" and the relegation of regulatory power to the states as "reactionary", the historical record shows nothing of the sort. After the Civil War the federal government, notably the courts, smoothed the way for big-business combinations ("pools", "Trusts"), and it was the states that initiated restrictions".
The New Deal transformed Democratic politics in terms of means, but not ends. Likewise, the Republican Party's true ideological ancestors were the Whigs and the Federalists, for they stood for making the United States an easier place to do business in. Their means changed…the federal government, rather than state governments, were used to check capitalism. Additionally, the context of the Democratic Party has changed. As I have written in the past, who they view as a common person has greatly expanded. Many modern pop perspectives on history place an immense emphasis on racial issues, which means the primary focus on Jackson regards the Trail of Tears and his status a slave owner who uncritically embraced the institution. These are undoubtedly factors of his presidency that should be talked about and ones that Arthur Schlesinger Jr., to his regret, completely ignored in writing The Age of Jackson. However, such a heavy emphasis can serve to remove from public consciousness significant historical issues that, were we to place more emphasis on them, would improve public understanding of history.

In the late 1980s, Commodore released the Amiga series of computers which brought forward the concept of advanced graphics, video and music to the desktop computer.
These computers had the necessary hardware like the Motorola 68000 series RISC processors and graphics and sound chipsets that were advanced for their day. Initially, there was the Amiga 1000 computer but the popular machines that represented the Amiga platform at its peak were the Amiga 500 and the Amiga 2000.
They could generate high-resolution advanced moving graphics which put them on the platform for CGI animated video. As well, they were capable of turning out music which was either synthesised or sampled and this ability became very important during the "Acid House" era of the late 80s where house, techno and other electronic dance music came on the scene.
For that matter, if you ever seen a Commodore Amiga in action or used one of these computers yourself, you may have dabbled with the "demos". These were self-running programs that showed a moving-graphics display on the screen set to music, typically electronic dance music of the day. I have linked in a YouTube clip of some of these "demos" so you can see what this computer was about.
The fact that the Amiga was popular in Europe instigated the European game-development scene where a lot of graphic-rich game genres that we take for granted were being exposed courtesy of this computer that, at times, was called the "game machine of all time". For business applications, the Amiga platform even became the heart of some public-facing computer applications where a graphically-rich user interface was considered important, along with it being used to create computer graphics for film and video content.
This computer demonstrated the concept of a desktop computer being able to serve graphically-rich applications whether it be games, video content or the like and other computer platforms acquired this ability through the 1990s and now serve this purpose.

Q: SAML2 Single Logout, where to post responses to? I'm a bit confused as to where Requests/Responses go within SAML2 single logout.
For single sign on, there is an endpoint on the IDP to receive requests and an endpoint on the SP to receive responses. So each end point only servers one purpose.
However, single logout can be both SP and IDP triggered, but I always see only 1 endpoint defined with IDPs and SPs. Does this mean that both Requests and Responses have to go to the same endpoint? And thus, to know whether it's a request or response, the IDP or SP needs to look at the XML it receives?

A: There is a so-called Single Logout profile in SAML 2.0 standard doc reference.
In 4.4 Single Logout Profile on Page 32, it details the flow as below:

*

*<LogoutRequest> issued by Session Participant to Identity Provider

*Identity Provider determines Session Participants

*<LogoutRequest> issued by Identity Provider to Session Participant/Authority

*Session Participant/Authority issues <LogoutResponse> to Identity Provider

*Identity Provider issues <LogoutResponse> to Session Participant

The basic flow for SLO shows below:

As more detailed in PingFederate SLO implementation, and PortalGuard article, you can see the difference between SP-initiated SLO and IdP-initiated SLO is just who issued the <LogoutRequest> and after receiving <LogoutResponse>, who is responsible to show the logout page to the end-user.
Hope this answers your concern.

EU seeks general lifting of sanctions on coronavirus related supplies
The EU's high representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borell, has said in a declaration that sanctions should not impede the delivery of essential equipment and supplies necessary to fight the coronavirus and limit its spread worldwide.
In a statement issued after a virtual meeting of EU Foreign Ministers on 3 April and before a UN vote on the subject, he said that the EU wished to underline 'that UN and EU sanctions provide for humanitarian, and through the application of such exceptions, the EU and its Member States will ensure that they do not obstruct the global fight against COVID- 19'.
The declaration was issued in the context of a wider call by the UN Secretary General, Antionio Gutteres, for all nations to agree to a worldwide truce in the light of the pandemic and a subsequent report which in part stated that 'Sanctions imposed on countries should be waived to ensure access to food, essential supplies and access to COVID-19 tests and medical support'.
It observed that while sanctions more generally continued to play an indispensable role in certain circumstances, the EU 'encouraged other jurisdictions to provide the necessary clarifications to ensure that their respective sanctions are no obstacle to the global fight against the pandemic'. EU officials said that the issue of sanctions was of relevance to Cuba, as well as to Iran and Venezuela.
Borell separately told the media that the EU is expected to issue shortly a Communication (policy document) on sanctions and that concrete responses and measures will be discussed by EU development ministers on 8 April. It would, he said, bring support both to the United Nations Secretary-General and to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet. "This communication is underway, let us see if it gets unanimity of (EU) Member States in order to ask for softening the sanctions for humanitarian reasons".
Echoing the High Representative's remarks, Spain's Foreign Affairs Minister, Arancha González, told a press conference in Madrid, that Spain fully supported the call for the suspension of economic sanctions for humanitarian reasons.
She said that the EU supported "the efforts of the United Nations so that countries that are subject to international sanctions, such as the case of Cuba, Iran or Venezuela, can avail themselves of the humanitarian exception to acquire medical supplies against the coronavirus."
González said the EU believed it was essential that the relevant UN clauses involved be suspended to enable financial institutions, countries and companies that produce the various sanitary material and equipment required can make it available to sanctioned countries.
"That is what we are trying to arbitrate now, (so) that mechanisms are understood and are established so that this humanitarian exception can be put into practice and the necessary material reaches the countries subject to sanctions", she said.
In the last few days Cuba has reported that a shipment of assistance from the Jack Ma Foundation in China intended to support its efforts to address the coronavirus epidemic has been blocked by the Colombian airline Avianca because the airline's main shareholder is a company based in the US and it is, it says, obliged to abide by the trade embargo against Cuba.
The shipment of 100,000 face masks and ten diagnostic kits plus respirators and gloves was a part of a shipment sent by China's wealthiest man to 24 nations including Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Peru. Cuba said that Ma, the Chairman of the Alibaba Group, and his foundations were continuing to make efforts to have the donation reach Cuba.
Separately, the first shipment of medical goods to Iran has been made by France, Germany and Britain under a trade mechanism set up to barter humanitarian goods and food after the US withdrew from a 2015 nuclear treaty and imposed sanctions. The German Foreign Ministry said the medical goods were now in Iran and added that the Instex trade mechanism and its Iranian counterpart would now work on more transactions and on enhancing the system.
The Caribbean Council is able to provide further detail about all of the stories in Cuba Briefing. If you would like a more detailed insight into any of the content of today's issue, please get in touch

Q: Does angular2 bootstrap have a way to dynamically target elements like it does in angular 1.x Assuming we were to add some DOM elements at runtime:
var element = document.createElement('app');
element.id = 'app1';
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(element);

var element2 = document.createElement('app');
element2.id = 'app2';
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(element2);

Angular 1.x bootstrap method can target a specific DOM element, so you can  bootstrap Angular on them:
angular.bootstrap(element, ['myApp']);
angular.bootstrap(element2, ['myApp']);

In Angular2 the bootstrap method takes in a Component instead of an element and uses the component's selector to locate an element to bootstrap, which (as of build 2.0.0-alpha.26) only bootstraps the first match it finds:
import { Component, bootstrap } from 'angular2/angular2';

@Component({ selector: 'app' })
export class MyApp { }
bootstrap(MyApp);

So that being said, does anyone know if there is a way (or going to be a way) to bootstrap similar to 1.x, allowing you to dynamically apply angular to elements on the fly?

A: part of this question - related to the bootstrapping is answered here How use an AngularJS 2 component multiple times in the same page the rest of the answer depends on how you want to create the elements.
For example, one way to add components dynamically is to do it from the data associated with an application. If the data changes (e.g. an Array), then the component would be inserted into the DOM using NgFor
<template *ng-for="#item of #items">
    <my-component>{{item.name}}</my-component>
</template>

Here is the comment in the Angular 2 code

How is it that the summer days are longer, but they seem to pass by more quickly?
Memorial Day weekend holds so much promise. Camping trips to take, patios to sit on, rivers to raft. And then BOOM. Next thing you know it's Labor Day and school starts. Party's over.
If you always feel like summer is over before it even gets started, here are five things you can organize now to give you more time to soak up the sun.
Make a summer bucket list. Include trips, classes, concerts, or any projects you've put off that you want to tackle. Need inspiration? Here are 80 ideas from Bucket List Journey that will make you feel warm sun on your cheeks and cold ice cream in your mouth. Or if you've got the travel bug, check out these city-specific ideas from BuckiTDream.
Hold a family meeting to compare and coordinate what everyone wants to do in one schedule so no one gets left out. One of our favorite Aps is Cozi, the must-have organizer for families. It helps coordinate and communicate everyone's schedules and activities, track grocery lists, manage to do lists, plan ahead for dinner, and keep the whole family on the same page.
Your summer schedule may change, but keep the things that feed your soul a priority. Date night, self care, workouts. Whatever it is, you can get everything in if you put it on the calendar. Even if it's pared down from your usual schedule, don't let the things you care about slip for weeks at a time.
Set up an outdoor area for yourself. If you're lucky enough to have your own outdoor space clean it up. Refill the gas tank on the grill. Stock up on BBQ sauce and marinade. If you have access to a communal outdoor area - you can prepare too. Stop spending time going up and down in the apartment elevator and more time outside with this Maverick Accessory Kit and tool box to store and transport your greasy grill tools and accessories.
5. Be like Goldilocks - plan enough, but not too much. It's summer after all, time to be spontaneous, relax and refresh. Don't plan out every evening, every hour, and every weekend so you're open to last minute bike rides, hikes, evenings on the patio or walks in the park with friends.

Murder accused left trail to doorstep after dumping body by bins, court told
David Ablett, 52, has gone on trial accused of killing Matthew Jackson, 38, in Teignmouth in June.
Paul Greaves
Matthew Jackson was found dead in Teignmouth
An alleged murderer stabbed a man to death with a two-pronged fork then called a friend to help him move the body from his flat in Teignmouth, a trial has been told.
David Ablett, 52, bludgeoned Matthew Jackson, 38, to death at Barnpark Terrace then dumped his body by bins across the road from his flat, Exeter Crown Court heard.
He thought moving the body at night would throw police off the scent but the next morning a trail of blood and grease led them straight to his door.
The defendant denies murder and is standing trial. He claims self defence. Another man, Neil Hinton, has already pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice by helping Ablett move the body.

On the first day of the trial prosecutor Simon Laws QC outlined the Crown's case.
He said: "On the morning of June 3 this year a body was found in the street in Teignmouth. It was the body of a man called Matthew Jackson.
"He had been repeatedly stabbed in the chest. But he had not been killed in the street where he was found. He was killed inside the block of flats in which David Ablett lived. His body had been dragged out in the night and dumped on the pavement by some bins.
"In some cases of murder the question that a jury must answer is who was the killer. That's not the case here. You are going to hear Ablett did everything he could to prevent the police from identifying him as the killer, but those efforts have failed. You will not be in any doubt at all that he was the man responsible for the stabbing of Matthew Jackson and thereby ending his life.
"At this trial he will abandon any attempt it wasn't him and he will say instead he was defending himself.
Matthew Jackson, 38, was found dead in Teignmouth
"The prosecution say the circumstances of the killing and the level of force he used do not in any way suggest a man defending himself."
The trial was told Ablett was a drug dealer and Mr Jackson a user who would buy cocaine and heroin from him.
On June 2 he set out from Bishopsteignton, where he lived in a caravan on his parents' drive, to visit Ablett in his bedsit in Barnpark Terrace.
Police managed to piece together his route using CCTV. The jury were shown photos of his last known activity as he arrived at Ablett's flat shortly before midnight. The prosecution say he was there to buy some drugs. Tests later revealed he had taken heroin and cocaine the night he died.
Mr Laws said it was not known what had caused the night to turn violent. The only two men in the flat that night were Ablett and Mr Jackson.
"He had been stabbed with an unusual weapon," said the prosecutor.
The jury was shown a replica of the two-pronged fork the prosecution say Ablett used to kill Mr Jackson.

They were also played a short video taken by somebody in Ablett's flat on a previous date showing him throwing the fork at a mannequin head stuck on the end of a stick.
Mr Jackson suffered multiple injuries to his face and body. Cause of death was four puncture wounds to the left side of his chest. Wounds to his left lung, liver and heart were fatal. He was stabbed twice in the heart.
The prosecution say after Ablett murdered Mr Jackson he visited a neighbour upstairs and claimed the victim had attacked and tried to kill him. The neighbour did not want to get involved and the pair took drugs together. It is said Ablett washed the murder weapons in his sink and left.
At 2.54am Ablett called Hinton and the pair moved the body outside. He was left face down, his shoes placed neatly to his side, close to bins and bushes. The fork was found hidden in a garden area at the back of Ablett's flat. It is claimed he also tried to hide Mr Jackson's mobile phone and wallet in undergrowth.

The jury were shown photos of a trail leading from the front door of Ablett's block to the body of Mr Jackson. It was made of unconnected grease deposited on the road and blood. When the body was found the next morning the trail was clearly visible and police cordoned off the street.
"He thought they were helping at night time to conceal the fact Mr Jackson had died at his flat but this trail led directly to his front door," said Mr Laws.
Ablett was arrested but made no comment to police.
The trial continues.
