\section{Introduction}

Results from heavy-ion collisions experiments have  contributed
significantly to our understanding of the properties of strongly
interacting matter at high temperature and density. In these reactions,
two atomic nuclei collide at relativistic energies producing a
deconfined state of hadronic matter, the so called quark-gluon
plasma (QGP). Although many properties of this state have been
revealed by means of a number of different probes, it is  also
fair to say that others still remain elusive at large. One of these
has to do with the possibility to create a vortical fluid in
peripheral collisions. Were this to be the case, the most promising
way to elucidate its properties is by means of the alignment of
particle spin to the global angular momentum, which in turn could
be detected measuring a non-vanishing global particle polarization.
This possibility has prompted the search for global polarization of
hadrons, most notably of $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Lambda}$~\cite{Becattini2017,Csernai,Sorin2016,Sorin2017,Xie,Pang,Sun, Han,Xia,Teryaev,Karpenko,Suvarieva,Kolomeitsev,Xie2,Guo,Ma}.
The STAR Beam Energy Scan (BES) program has measured the $\Lambda$
and $\bar{\Lambda}$ global polarizations as functions of the
collision energy~\cite{STAR2007,STARNature,STAR2018}
showing that as the latter decreases, the $\bar{\Lambda}$
polarization rises more steeply than the $\Lambda$ polarization.
This intriguing result motivates the search for a deeper
understanding of the conditions for the relaxation between angular
momentum and spin degrees of freedom and of its dependence on the
collision parameters such as energy, impact parameter, temperature,
and baryon chemical potential.

In a previous work~\cite{Ayala2020}, we have studied the relaxation time
for spin and thermal vorticity alignment in a QGP at finite temperature
$T$ and quark chemical potential $\mu_q=\mu_B/3$, where $\mu_B$ is the
baryon chemical potential. For these purposes, we resorted to the
computation of the quark self-energy where the interaction with thermal
gluons is mediated by a phenomenological vertex that couples the thermal
vorticity to spin. To make matters simpler, we performed the
calculation for massless quarks whose momentum was small compared
to $T$ and/or $\mu_q$. In this work we remove such approximations
and compute the relaxation time for massive quarks with arbitrary
momentum. We show that the effect of accounting for the quark mass
produces that the interaction rate is larger which in turn translates
into a smaller relaxation time, as compared to the massless quark
case. Other attempts to compute the relaxation time using different
approaches have been reported in Refs.~\cite{Kapusta2020,Liu:2020bbd, Shi:2020qrx}.

This work is organized as follows. In Sec. \ref{Sec:interactionrate}
we calculate the interaction rate for a massive quark at finite density and
temperature. In Sec.~\ref{Sec:results} we show the results obtained
for the quark and antiquark relaxation times as functions of temperature,
collision energy and quark intrinsic global polarization. Finally, Sec.
\ref{Sec:conclusions} provides a summary along with a discussion on the consequences of this
calculation for hyperon polarization.

\section{Quark interaction rate at finite density and temperature}\label{Sec:interactionrate}

Consider a QCD plasma in thermal equilibrium at temperature $T$ and quark
chemical potential $\mu_q$. The interaction rate $\Gamma$ of a quark with
four-momentum $P=(p_0,\vec{p})$ can be expressed in terms of the quark
self energy $\Sigma$ as
\be
    \Gamma(p_0) = \widetilde{f}(p_0-\mu_q)\Tr{\gamma^0\Ima \Sigma},
\ee
with $\widetilde{f}(p_0-\mu_q)$ being the Fermi-Dirac distribution. The
interaction between the thermal vorticity and the quark spin is modeled
by means of an effective vertex
\be
    \lambda^\mu_a = g \frac{\sigma^{\alpha\beta}}{2}\overline{\omega}_{\alpha\beta}\gamma^\mu t_a,
\ee
where $\sigma^{\alpha\beta}=\frac{i}{2}[\gamma^\alpha,\gamma^\beta]$
is the quark spin operator and $t_a$ are the color matrices in the
fundamental representation. This vertex builds on the ideas discussed in Ref.~\cite{LiangWang:2005} and
the subsequent studies of Refs.~\cite{Becattini:2007sr, Aristova:2016,Pang:2016,Pang,GaoWang:2015}
and references therein. In order to present a self-contained discussion, we hereby spell out the
ingredients needed for the computation, highlighting the new elements as
compared to Ref.~\cite{Ayala2020}. Recall that the {\it thermal vorticity}
is defined as~\cite{Becattini:2015ska}
\begin{eqnarray}
   \overline{\omega}_{\mu\nu}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\partial_\nu\beta_\mu - \partial_\mu\beta_\nu\right),
\label{thervor}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\beta_\mu=u_\mu(x)/T(x)$, with $u_\mu(x)$ the local fluid four-velocity
and $T(x)$ the local temperature. Thermal vorticity is produced in peripheral
collisions where the colliding matter develops a global angular velocity
$\vec{\omega}=\omega\hat{z}$, normal to the reaction plane, that for our
purposes is chosen as the direction of the $\hat{z}$ axis. The orbital
angular momentum is due to the inhomogeneity of the matter density profile
in the transverse plane~\cite{Becattini:2007sr}. For a constant angular
velocity and uniform  temperature, the magnitude of the thermal vorticity
is given by $\omega/T$.

\begin{figure}[t]
 \begin{center}
  \includegraphics[scale=0.45]{Diagram.pdf}
 \end{center}
 \caption{One-loop
 quark self-energy diagram that defines the kinematics. The gluon line with
 a blob represents the effective gluon propagator at finite density and temperature.
 The blobs on the quark-gluon vertices represent the effective coupling between
 the quark spin and the vorticity.}
 \label{Fig1}
\end{figure}
The one-loop contribution to $\Sigma$, depicted in Fig.~\ref{Fig1}, is
given explicitly by
\be
    \Sigma = T\sum_n \int \dthreek\lambda^\mu_a S(\slsh{P}-\slsh{K})\lambda^\nu_b \Gstar^{ab}_{\mu\nu}(K),
\ee
where $S$ and $\Gstar$ are the quark and effective gluon propagators,
respectively.
The effective gluon propagator is obtained by summing the geometric series for
the one-loop gluon polarization tensor at high temperature and/or quark
chemical potential. The intermediate quark line is taken as a bare quark
propagator such that the inverse of the interaction rate corresponds to
the relaxation time for the spin and vorticity alignment for quarks that
are originally not thermalized.
\par
In a covariant gauge, the Hard Thermal Loop (HTL) approximation to the
effective gluon propagator is given by
\be
   \Gstar_{\mu\nu}(K)=\Deltastar_L(K)P_{L\, \mu\nu} +\Deltastar_T(K)P_{T\, \mu\nu},
\ee
where $P_{L,T\, \mu\nu}$ are the polarization tensors for three dimensional
longitudinal and transverse gluons, both of which are, of course,
four-dimensionally transverse. The gluon propagator functions for longitudinal
and transverse modes, $\Deltastar_{L,T}(K)$, are given by
\begin{align}
\Deltastar_L(K)^{-1}&=K^2+2m^2\frac{K^2}{k^2}\left[1-\left(\frac{i\omega_n}{k}\right)Q_0\left(\frac{i\omega_n}{k}\right)\right], \nonumber \\
\Deltastar_T(K)^{-1}&=-K^2-m^2\left(\frac{i\omega_n}{k}\right)\Bigg\{\left[ 1-\left(\frac{i\omega_n}{k}\right)^2\right]\nonumber \\
&\quad \times Q_0\left(\frac{i\omega_n}{k}\right)+ \left(\frac{i\omega_n}{k}\right)\Bigg\},
\end{align}
where
\be
Q_0(x)=\frac{1}{2}\ln{\frac{x+1}{x-1}},
\ee
and $m$ is the gluon thermal mass given by
\be
m^2 = \frac{1}{6}g^2C_A T^2 +\frac{1}{12}g^2C_F \left( T^2+\frac{3}{\pi^2}\mu^2\right),
\ee
where $C_A=3$ and $C_F=4/3$ are the Casimir factors for the adjoint and
fundamental representations of $SU(3)$, respectively.

The sum over Matsubara frequencies involves products of the propagator
functions for longitudinal and transverse gluons $^*\Delta_{L,T}$ and
the Matsubara propagator for the bare quark $\tilde{\Delta}_F$, such that
the term that depends on the summation index can be expressed as
\begin{eqnarray}
S_{L,T}=T\sum_n\, ^*\Delta_{L,T}(i\omega_n)\tilde{\Delta}_F(i(\omega_m-\omega_n)).
\label{sumprod}
\end{eqnarray}
This sum is more straightforward evaluated introducing the spectral
densities $\rho_{L,T}$ and $\widetilde{\rho}$ for the gluon and fermion
propagators, respectively. The imaginary part of $S_i$ ($i=L,T$) can
thus be written as
\begin{align}
\Ima S_i &= \pi\left( e^{(p_0-\mu_q)/T}+1\right)\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{dk_0}{2\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{dp_0'}{2\pi}f(k_0)\nonumber \\
&\quad \times \widetilde{f}(p_0'-\mu)\delta(p_0-k_0-p_0')\ \rho_i(k_0)\ \widetilde{\rho}(p_0'),
\label{imsum}
\end{align}
where $f(k_0)$ is the Bose-Einstein distribution. The spectral densities
$\rho_{L,T}(k_0,k)$ are obtained from the imaginary part of
$\Deltastar_{L,T}(i\omega_n,k)$ after the analytic continuation
$i\omega_n\rightarrow k_0+i\epsilon$ and contain the discontinuities of the
gluon propagator across the real $k_0$-axis. Their support depends on the
ratio $x=k_0/k$. For $\abs{x}>1$, $\rho_{L,T}$ have support on the (time-like)
quasiparticle poles. For $\abs{x}<1$ their support coincides with the branch
cut of $Q_0(x)$. On the other hand, the spectral density corresponding to
a bare quark is given by
\be
\widetilde{\rho}(p_0')=2\pi\epsilon(p_0')\delta(p_0'^2-E_p^2),
\label{kinrest}
\ee
where $E_p^2=(p-k)^2+m_q^2$ with $m_q$ the quark mass. The kinematical
restriction that Eq.~(\ref{kinrest}) imposes on Eq.~(\ref{imsum}) limits
the integration over gluon energies to the space-like region, namely,
$\abs{x}<1$. Therefore, the parts of the gluon spectral densities that
contribute to the interaction rate are given by
\begin{widetext}
\begin{eqnarray}
\rho_L(k_0,k)&=&\frac{x}{1-x^2}\frac{2\pi m^2\theta(k^2-k_0^2)}{\left[k^2+2m^2\left(1-\frac{x}{2}\ln \left|\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right|\right)\right]^2+\left[\pi m^2x\right]^2},\nonumber \\
\rho_T(k_0,k)&=&\frac{\pi m^2x(1-x^2)\theta(k^2-k_0^2)}{\left[k^2(1-x^2)+m^2\left(x^2+(x/2)(1-x^2)\ln \left|\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right|\right)\right]^2+\left[(\pi/2)m^2x(1-x^2)\right]^2}.~~~~~~~~~
\end{eqnarray}
\end{widetext}
Collecting all the ingredients, the interaction rate for a massive quark
with energy $p_0$ to align its spin with the thermal vorticity is given by
\begin{align}
    \Gamma(p_0) &= \frac{\alpha_s}{4\pi}\left(\frac{\omega}{T}\right)^2\frac{C_F}{\sqrt{p_0^2-m_q^2}}\int_{0}^{\infty}dk\, k \int_\mathcal{R}dk_0

    [1+f(k_0)] \nonumber \\
    &\quad \times \tilde{f}(p_0+k_0-\mu_q)\; \sum_{i=L,T}C_i(p_0,k_0,k)\rho_i(k_0,k),
\label{interactionrate}
\end{align}
where $\mathcal{R}$ represents the region
\begin{eqnarray}
k_{0} &\geq& \sqrt{\left(\sqrt{p_{0}^{2}-m_q^{2}}-k\right)^{2}+m_q^{2}}-p_{0}, \nonumber \\
k_{0} &\leq& \sqrt{\left(\sqrt{p_{0}^{2}-m_q^{2}}+k\right)^{2}+m_q^{2}}-p_{0}.
\label{region}
\end{eqnarray}
It can be checked that the region of integration over $k_0$ in Eq.~(\ref{region}) reduces to $-k \leq k_0 \leq k$ when $ m_q\to 0$, as was obtained in Ref.~\cite{Ayala2020}. Notice that  Eq.~(\ref{region}) implies that the available phase space is reduced in the massive quark case, as one
could expect. The polarization coefficients $C_{L,T}$
come from the contraction of the polarization tensors $P_{L,T\, \mu\nu}$ with the trace of
the factors involving Dirac gamma matrices from the self-energy. After implementing
the kinematical restrictions for the allowed values of the angle between
the quark and gluon momenta, these functions are found to be
\begin{align}
    C_T(p_0,k_0,k) &= 8(p_0+k_0)\, \mathcal{C}(p_0,k_0,k), \nonumber \\
    C_L(p_0,k_0,k) &= -8(p_0+k_0)\Big[\mathcal{C}(p_0,k_0,k)-\frac{1}{2}\Big]\nonumber \\
    &\quad -8\frac{p_0\,k^2}{k_0^2-k^2}\,\mathcal{C}(p_0,k_0,k),
\label{polarizationcoeffs}
\end{align}
with
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{C}(p_0,k_0,k) = \left(\frac{k^2-2k_0 p_0-k_0^2}{2k\sqrt{p_{0}^{2}-m_q^{2}}}\right)^2.
\end{equation}
This result should be contrasted with Eq.~(14) of Ref.~\cite{Ayala2020},
which was computed for the massless and small quark momentum limit.
The total interaction rate is obtained by integrating Eq.~(\ref{interactionrate})
over the available phase space
\be
\Gamma = V\int \frac{d^3p}{(2\pi)^3}\Gamma(p_0),
\label{reactionrate}
\ee
where $V$ is the volume of the overlap region in the collision. Recall that,
for the collision of symmetric systems of nuclei with radii $R$ and a given
impact parameter $b$, $V$ is given by
\be
   V=\frac{\pi}{3}(4R+b)(R-b/2)^2.
\label{volume}
\ee
Following the method outlined on Ref.~\cite{XDengHuang2020}, the initial angular
velocity $\omega$ ({\it i.e.}, after full nuclei overlap) produced in Au+Au collisions is
hereby computed performing averages over

 \caption{Initial angular velocity $\omega$ for Au+Au collisions at

\end{figure}
 $10^4$ events at a given energy and impact parameter using UrQMD~\cite{URQMD}.
The results of our simulations for the initial angular velocity are shown in Fig.~\ref{Fig2} for three different impact parameters, $b=5,8,10$ fm. Solid lines are the fit of the data using the functional form
\begin{equation}\label{fit}
    \omega = \frac{\omega_0}{2}\, \frac{b^2}{V_N}\left[1+2\left(\frac{m_N}{\sqrt{s_{NN}}}\right)^{1/2}\right],
\end{equation}
where $V_N=(4\pi/3) R^3$, $R=1.1A^{1/3}$, and $\omega_0$ is the
free parameter of the fit; in all cases $\omega_0 \simeq 1$.
Notice that, as explored in Ref.~\cite{XDengHuang2020}, different choices of smearing functions for the calculation of
the velocity profile, or the definition of the  velocity of the produced particles itself, can lead to a variation on the
values resulting for the angular velocity; for a more detailed study, see Refs.~\cite{XGHuang:2016,Jiang:2017}.
From the expression for $\Gamma$ in Eq.~(\ref{reactionrate}),
we study the parametric dependence of the relaxation time for spin and vorticity
alignment, defined as
\be
\tau \equiv 1/\Gamma.
\label{relax}
\ee
We now proceed to present the results for the quark and
antiquark relaxation times as computed with Eq.~(\ref{relax}) as functions
of temperature and collision energy as well as the intrinsic quark global
polarization as a function of time.

 \label{Fig4}
\end{figure}
Figure~\ref{Fig3} shows the relaxation time $\tau$ for massive quarks with $m_q=100$ MeV,
corresponding to the strange quark mass, contrasted with the massless quarks case, as a function of temperature $T$, for semicentral collisions
at an impact parameter $b=10$ fm for two different values of quark
chemical potential $\mu_q$ and collision energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$. In both cases, $\omega$ is
computed using our simulations described above. The effect of quark mass and of relaxing the assumption of a small quark energy is to reduce the relaxation time for the entire range of considered temperatures, as compared to
the massless case. This may seem counter-intuitive given that
a finite quark mass reduces the available phase space. However, notice that the
new terms in Eq.~(\ref{polarizationcoeffs}), as compared to Eq.~(14) of
Ref.~\cite{Ayala2020}, compensate this reduction and contribute significantly
to a higher interaction rate. Figure~\ref{Fig4} shows the temperature dependence of the relaxation time for
quarks, for two different collision energies and quark chemical

potentials at an impact parameter $b=10$ fm. For direct comparison to
Ref.~\cite{Ayala2020}, the values of $\omega\simeq0.12, 0.10$ fm$^{-1}$ are
used for the massless case. Notice that $\tau\lesssim 5$ fm
for the temperature range 150 MeV $<T<200$ MeV, where the phase transition is
expected to occur. In this temperature range, the relaxation times
are smaller than the ones found in Ref.~\cite{Ayala2020}.\par
Figure~\ref{Fig5} shows the temperature dependence of the relaxation time for
antiquarks (with antiquark chemical potential $\overline{\mu}_q = -\mu_q$) for two different collision energies and chemical potentials at
an impact parameter $b=10$ fm. Again, we use for the antiquark mass $m_q=100$ MeV,
corresponding to the mass of the strange antiquark. The relaxation times for
antiquarks for the temperature range 150 MeV $<T<200$ MeV satisfy $\bar{\tau}\lesssim 5$ fm
and are also smaller than the corresponding relaxation times found in Ref.~\cite{Ayala2020}.

\end{figure}
Figure~\ref{Fig6} shows the relaxation time ($a$) $\tau$ for quarks and ($b$)
$\bar{\tau}$ for antiquarks as functions of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ for semicentral
collisions at impact parameters $b=5,8,10$ fm as a function of
the collision energy. For each value of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$, the temperature
$T$ and maximum baryon chemical potential $\mu_B=3\mu_q$ at freeze-out
were extracted from the parametrization of
Ref.~\cite{CleymansPRC2006} such that
\begin{eqnarray}
T(\mu_B)&=&166 - 139\mu_B^2 - 53\mu_B^4,\nonumber\\
\mu_B(\sqrt{s_{NN}})&=&\frac{1308}{1000+0.273\sqrt{s_{NN}}},
\label{cleynm}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\mu_B$ and $T$ are given in MeV.
Notice that the relaxation times for quarks show a monotonic growth as a function of the
collision energy throughout the energy range considered. In contrast, the corresponding relaxation times for antiquarks
have a minimum for collision energies in the range 40 GeV $\lesssim\sqrt{s_{NN}}\lesssim$ 70 GeV and grows slowly thereafter.

Figure~\ref{Fig7} shows the {\it intrinsic} global polarization
for quarks ($z$) and
antiquarks ($\bar{z}$), given by
\begin{eqnarray}
   z&=&1-e^{-t/\tau}\nonumber\\
   \bar{z}&=&1-e^{-t/\overline{\tau}},
\label{intrinsic}
\end{eqnarray}
as functions of time $t$ for semicentral collisions at an impact parameter $b=8$ fm,
for $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=19.6$ GeV. Notice that $\bar{z}<z$, however, both intrinsic
polarizations tend to 1 for $t\simeq 10$ fm. From this figure, we also notice that,
even if the QGP phase lasts for less than 10 fm, a finite intrinsic global
polarization, both for quarks and antiquarks, can still be expected.

\section{Summary and Conclusions}\label{Sec:conclusions}

In conclusion, we have used a thermal field theoretical framework
to compute the relaxation times for massive quark/antiquarks (with a mass corresponding to the $s$-quark) whose spin interacts with the thermal vorticity produced in peripheral heavy-ion collisions. With the relaxation times at hand, we also computed the intrinsic quark/antiquark global polarizations.
When this last is
preserved during the hadronization process, one might expect that these
polarizations  directly translate into the corresponding $\Lambda$ and
$\overline{\Lambda}$ polarizations. This would in turn imply that the former
should be expected to be larger than the latter, as opposed to the findings of
Ref.~\cite{STARNature}. Contrary to these expectation,
Ref.~\cite{AyalaCoreCorona} has recently found that these intrinsic polarization can give rise to the $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Lambda}$ polarization experimentally observed as a function of collision energy. This result comes from the interplay of $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Lambda}$ abundances  when their
source in the reaction zone is modelled
as composed of a
high-density core and a less dense corona. Although both regions partake of
the vortical motion, $\Lambda$s and $\overline{\Lambda}$s coming from one
or the other could show different polarization properties as their origins
are different: in the core they come mainly from QGP induced processes,
whereas in the corona they come from n + n  processes. When this fact is
combined with a larger abundance of $\Lambda$s as compared to $\overline{\Lambda}$s
in the corona region together with a smaller number of $\Lambda$s coming from
the core as compared to those coming from the corona --which happens for
semi-central to peripheral collisions-- an amplification effect for the
$\overline{\Lambda}$ polarization can occur. This is more prominent for small
collision energies. More detailed studies of the effect are currently being carried out and will be reported elsewhere.

Salem Witch Trials Essay
The Salem Witch Trials, of 1692, occurred in Salem Massachusetts. This is a case where people accused other people of witchcraft. Salem was a town governed by strict Puritan religion, and to have such a charge labeled against you could cost you your life. According to Boyer and Nissenbaum, there were many worldly reasons for the events that happened so many years ago.
Abigail Williams in The Crucible
I believe that Abigail Williams was a symptom of what was wrong with Salem society. I think that it was a mixture of her background, her personality and living in an oppressive society that made her cause the witch hunts.
The Puritan society of Salem was oppressive. There was no room for individuality. The theocracy in Salem was assembled to protect the people from everything unholy and as fears grew of attacks by Red Indians everything that could lead to disunity was outlawed. This had the opposite effect as it eventually tore the village apart. I believe it happened because everyone in the village, especially the children, wanted the right to speak freely. As Arthur Miller says, ?It was also, and as importantly, a long overdue opportunity for everyone so inclined to express publicly his guilt and sins.?
Could Proctor & Abigail?s adultery be responsible for some acts that happened during the prosecutions in the Salem witchtrials? One might say not, while another could say it plays a great part in the story.
John Proctor?s past adultery with Abigail Williams could be considered partially responsible for John Proctor and Elizabeth Proctor being accused of being witches in Arthur Miller?s "The Crucible". "The Crucible" is a story about how a young woman (Abigail Williams) falls in love with a married man (John Proctor) and will eventually do whatever it takes to take his wife?s (Elizabeth Proctor) place. Everything gets out of hand and suddenly there supposedly is witchcraft in Salem, and the children involved in this all lie there way out, and accuse innocent villagers of devilish work
Free Essays on The Crucible: Destruction of the Social System
The trumped-up witch hysteria in Salem, Massachusetts, deteriorated the rational, and emotional stability of its citizens. This exploited the populations weakest qualities, and insecurities. The obvious breakdown in Salem?s social order led to the tragedy which saw twenty innocent people hung on the accusation of witchcraft. Arthur Miller, author of The Crucible, used hysteria to introduce personality flaws in vulnerable characters. A rigid social system, fear, and confusion were evident conditions that became prevalent before and during the witch trials. These conditions only contributed to the tragedy in Salem.
There isn't one theme for The Crucible, there are many. One is hysteria, which tore apart the small town. In the story religion was a must, you had to practice religion, and sin was a public matter, which brings about the theme of intolerance. Focused on maintaining public reputation, the townsfolk of Salem must fear that the sins of their friends and associates will taint their names; reputation. There is very little symbolism in The Crucible, but the play can be seen as symbolic of the paranoia about communism that grazed America in the 1950's.
Hysteria is a very unique and abnormal mental disease. What makes it so interesting is that it causes physical symptoms that someone would not normally experience. "Mental conflicts are unconsciously converted to symptoms that appear to be physical, but for which no organic cause is found?;(Hysteria 1). One major outburst of hysteria occurred in 1692, resulting in the deaths of twenty-four innocent lives. "By the time hysteria had spent itself, twenty-four people had died?;(twhstsv 2). This type of hysteria was mass hysteria, where a group of people are in a frenzy as opposed to just one individual. Evidently, hysteria is a very serious disease and has the potential to cause many avoidable deaths.
Arthur Miller's The Crucible
When we think of the United States we think of equality and justice for all people no matter how far back you go back in our history. Sadly, this hasn?t always been the case, in this land of hope and freedom peoples lives have been taken unjustly to pursue outlandish stories of witchcraft. Native people have been removed from their home land, forced to travel thousands of miles under harsh conditions just so settlers could push on to the gold rich lands. The witchcraft trials depicted in Arthur Miller?s Crucible and the removal of the Cherokee Nation from Northern Georgia to Oklahoma are only a couple events that blacken part of our great nation?s history. Even though the Salem witch trials and the Trail of Tears (Cherokee removal) were separate events in time they were both motivated by intolerance, ignorance, and the tension built by time

Trouble is, I don't understand how to use it correctly.  I pass a string with the path of the package component but the the environment states the error:
The method setComponentEnabledSetting(ComponentName, int, int) in the type PackageManager is not applicable for the arguments (String, int, int)

Since it is your app, you know your app's package (e.g., getPackageName() on your Context). Since it is your component, you know your component's class name. From there, just call the appropriate constructor.

We looked at several products, VERTO for us provided the functionality and flexibility we wanted, and importantly allowed us to adapt it to local processes and governance arrangements. We have focused on initially using it for those project initiatives that will deliver QIPP savings, but also being a cloud based system we will be using to monitor and manage for example our better care fund and other system wide programmes. TMI/VERTO have also worked with us to develop new functionality around benefits tracking that we are deploying, and intending to link with key BI systems. In the set-up phrase VERTO guys supportive and professional. We have more work to do with colleagues around embedding the system and its use, but this is more of cultural issue that a system issue. So far has been a positive process; and we see huge advantages of how we can use this product going forward from business planning and risk management.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla's extensive options should be the new standard for PC gaming
By Fraser Brown
From the difficulty to the HUD, Valhalla sets a high, but far from unobtainable, bar.
It wasn't all that long ago that you could still expect to fire up the latest big multiplatform game on PC and find only tumbleweed when you explored the options menu. These days, you're more likely to find pages and pages of stuff to tweak, from graphics to accessibility settings. Few can boast as expansive a selection as Ubisoft's games, however, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla (opens in new tab) really pushes the boat out. It's impressive, but it should be standard.
Valhalla is a pretty beefy game. It took me more than ten hours to get past the Norwegian prologue and over to England, and at least one of those hours was spent fiddling around in its incredibly dense menus. That density is somewhat alleviated, thankfully, by plenty of subheadings and tabs that keep everything neat and easy to read, but I'd also suggest that Ubisoft takes a look at how Gears Tactics' menus (opens in new tab) are presented, with notched sliders instead of dropdown menus.
The graphics settings contain the usual suspects, broken down into world, environment, textures and post-processing sections. It's fairly comprehensive and benefits from an image preview that lets you see how different options change the game's appearance. As always, it's accompanied by a meter that shows how much VRAM is being used, though I'm still waiting on the inclusion of something similar for CPUs—to get that information, you have to hit up the benchmarking tool. So there remains some room for improvement, but Valhalla still makes significant strides when it comes to accessibility.
While Valhalla is not an especially difficult game, there are still plenty of obstacles for players with visual or motor impairments, as well as anyone just wanting something a bit breezier, with lower stakes. Conveniently, every tab has a slew of ways to solve these obstacles.
Even the basic difficulty options have an extra layer of refinement. Instead of just choosing to make everything broadly easier, you can set the difficulty for each of the game's pillars: combat, stealth and exploration. You get that choice right at the start, but you can change it at any time. Each pillar also has further settings that you can tweak. Combat, for instance, has four difficulty settings, from easy to very hard, but independent from that is the ability to change the aim assist. So you can have very hard combat and still have full aim assist.
I typically use a gamepad for action games like Assassin's Creed, so I've always appreciated the ability to remap the controls instead of being limited to some presets. This time, it's possible to swap the right and left sticks, too. If you prefer to use mouse and keyboard, you can also change the walk speed, swap to left-handed mouse navigation, and customise the aiming and mouse sensitivity independently. For both methods, you can choose to use either toggle or hold for every relevant action, like crouching or running. For quick time events, there's a trio of options, so you can hold, press or hammer the button. Ubisoft has gone really granular, so you can even change how long you have to spend pressing the button when you're told to hold it in the menu. Maybe you're in a rush. Maybe you've got a sore thumb.
Predictably, there's a lot of stuff going on in Valhalla's HUD, but you can change it all, or just get rid of it entirely. As well as being able to turn off every little indicator or bit of screen clutter, you make reading it a whole lot easier. The size of text and icons, both in the interface and subtitles, can be changed, and you can add backgrounds to HUD elements and dialogue to increase their legibility. As long as nobody pinches my glasses, I'm fine with the small default settings, but I was thankful for those extra pixels when I switched from my desk to my sofa and started playing on the TV. Along with the subtitles, there's also a closed captioning option.
Like several games over the last couple of years, Valhalla has text to speech menu narration, though it seems to just be in English at the moment. As well as being able to toggle it on and off, you can also adjust the pace, volume and whether the narrator is male or female. Speaking of volume, audio's another place where Valhalla covers a lot of ground. If you're struggling to make out the dialogue but find subtitles distracting, you might want to give the dialogue boost a try. The dynamic range of the audio can also be fiddled with, creating a larger or smaller gulf between the loudest and quietest sounds. The frequency of the music can be changed, too, and you can activate a collision audio cue to tell you when you can't move past an obstacle.
There are plenty of quality of life improvements beyond the menu, of course. I've been getting a lot of use out of the expanded automation. Odyssey let you tell your horse to follow the road and head towards markers, and Valhalla now lets you do that with your ship. You'll be spending a lot of time navigating England's rivers, and being able to kick back and listen to some songs or tall tales while your crew gets you to where you're going makes each trip a lot more pleasant. England's so massive that sometimes I cut some corners and use regular fast travel, but putting your ship or mount in auto is a great middle ground that gets you to your destination quickly without sacrificing the joys of travelling up and down what is one of gaming's most fetching open worlds.
Most of these options can be found in other games individually, but Valhalla is just a lot more comprehensive. Watch Dogs Legion (opens in new tab), which was developed concurrently and just arrived last week, shares the majority of them, but even it doesn't have the granular difficulty modes or the option to turn on HUD backgrounds. You can expect Immortals Fenyx Rising (opens in new tab), due on December 3, to be similar. It's great, but it shouldn't be remotely noteworthy. These are the things that every developer and publisher should be considering; really, they should be looking to go even further.
This isn't the part where I bemoan the state of games and wonder if these sorts of considerations will ever really be the norm, because increasingly it seems like accessibility and, more broadly, giving players more control over their games is a very high priority for a wide range of companies, from indies to big publishers like EA. Colourblind mode, for instance, used to be a novelty, but now it's the sort of thing that I notice when it's absent, even if I've never used it. As more developers make the effort, these things become hard baked into menus.
If you're wondering how Valhalla is beyond accessibility and options, give Steven's Assassin's Creed Valhalla review (opens in new tab) a read. It took me a while to warm to it, but after spending the weekend chopping off Saxon heads and growling at everyone, I'm hooked. Eivor might be even more of a badass than Kassandra.

This commentary originally aired May 9, 2013.
Fairy tales are a part of our shared cultural knowledge – if you refer to Jack and the Beanstalk, the Three Little Pigs, or Goldilocks, almost everyone knows what you are talking about.
These stories can share many features: the damsel in distress, magic, fantastic creatures, royalty... In the card game Once Upon A Time, you and a group of up-to-six other players set out to craft your own fairy tale.
Each player gets a hand of cards, and each card represents something you might find in one of these stories – characters, scenes, events or ideas. One player starts off as the narrator. The narrator plays cards to tell the story, so you might start off by playing a Goblin card and a Wishing Well card, and say that this is the "Tale of the Goblin's Well."
You play until you start rambling or until you mention something that another player has a card for. For example, if you mention a village, and someone else has the Village card, they can play it and continue as the narrator from there.
Although the game technically has a winner, the real point is to work together to tell a story. Players can be very creative and imaginative with how they build their fairy tale world. Once Upon A Time isn't adversarial, and can move at any pace, so it's good to play on a game night with the kids, or around a fire on a camping trip.


Salma Lalani has secured an acquittal following the trial of a defendant charged with two counts of aggravated burglary.
It was alleged that the defendant and three others, dressed in hoodies, masks and surgical gloves, broke into two occupied houses at night. At the first property a female occupant was held by the assailants at knifepoint, and at neighbouring property the male occupant was attacked and injured with a screwdriver and secateurs. Blood identifying the defendant was found on an inside door pane used to gain access to the property and on the handle of the screwdriver.
The defendant denied any involvement and said that he had been attacked shortly before the incidents by a group of males. There were complex issues of identification and expert forensic evidence.

I've long since given in to the luxury of allowing a specialist to fix my bike tires. The walk-up window at @SellwoodCycle has 100% spoiled me…
Yeah this may be the answer 😬 Until about last year I always went to a bike shop if I had a flat. Barely ever had flats. Replaced my tubes three times this year and got a flat again shortly after each time. I am clearly not cut out to be a bike mechanic.

Realize that traveling for work is usually a massive time waste & cut it by 80% for next year. The best way to recover, is not to continually put yourself in the same cycle.
At the end of 2019, after 40 cities and 97 days on planes, I told myself I was going to significantly cut my travel down for 2020. Turns out that plan kind of made itself 😂😬

Don't go the "for free" route. It's not actually a scam, but it's basically an agreement that you'll keep the panels for a fixed period of time like 15-20 years, which can really mess things up for future owners of the house. Ask me how I know 😬🙃

I've definitely been lurking on the likes. Some people forget that they're public so when I see they keep liking the "praise be to god" posts, it's pretty easy to tell how they feel about it.

It appears we have lost the value of the separation of the digital vs real me - me at Home, at Work, in my Gaming Community and many more I want to keep separate - sharing just my attributes should support this #identiverse

This guy flies his Skydio in autonomous mode while riding his bike in traffic, the drone loses him & flies into a train station filled with people. Somehow the cops let him go, so he flies again.
🤦♂This is not OK.
Even @SkydioHQ is in the comments.

The report says that diet and food production must radically change to improve health and avoid potentially catastrophic damage to the planet.
The key messages , in (extreme) brief, seem to be that unhealthy and unsustainable produced food poses a global risk to people and the planet and that the aim is to transform to a healthier and more sustainable diet by 2050. This will mean a more than 50% reduction of foods like red meat and sugar and with massive increases in foods such as fruit, vegetable, nuts, legumes . This suggest a shift to a plant based diet. This backs up the recent One Blue Dot report, produced by the British Dietetic Association at the end of last year.
I will check back when I've read the full report.

Cosco Busan pilot sentenced to 10 months
Former bar pilot John Cota left the San Francisco Federal Building after being sentenced to 10 months in prison for his role in the 2007 Cosco Busan oil spill. As part of an earlier plea agreement, prosecutors agreed to a sentence of two to 10 months.
Cota was not expecting today's outcome.
"Stunned, just stunned, that's it," he said.
His lawyer says the sentence is unjust because many people contributed to the accident.
"From the beginning, the government has decided to focus its immense resources on Captain Cota and hold him solely responsible for the acts of many and the errors of many," said attorney Jeffrey Bornstein.
Cota apologized in court and said, "I willingly accept my responsibility for my role in the accident that spilled oil and killed birds."
Cota's wife tearfully asked the judge for mercy in sentencing her husband, saying he has already paid for his mistakes by losing his career and paying $500,000 in legal bills so far.
Later she explained why she felt she had to speak out in court.
"I don't think people often see the human face that comes from the media in what you guys will decide to put on the news tonight," said Cota's wife Teresa Barrett.
The judge called this a difficult case, but said the law requires a minimum sentence of 10 months.
The environmental group Baykeeper says for protecting the bay, Cota's sentence is far less important than ongoing changes to laws and policy.
"There were a lot of factors that day that caused the spill and since then, the harbor safety rules have been changed so that ships under really bad weather conditions cannot leave the port," said Sarah Aminzadeh from Baykeeper.
The Cosco Busan container ship spilled 53,000 gallons of oil into the bay after hitting the Bay Bridge. More than 2,000 birds died and clean-up cost an estimated $70 million.
Cota begins serving his time on September 18th.

"Mine ear, I thank it, brought me to thy sound": Will Shakespeare and the Radio
"Wanted: A Radio Shakespeare!" That is the title of an article in Radio Broadcast, published in the spring of 1926. Radio drama was still in its infancy back then, and those fed up with the theatrical entertainments on the air were quick to point out what many would claim thereafter: that Shakespearean drama was an excellent model for unseen theatricals, being that the bard relied less on scenery or physical action and more on words to create characters and tell their stories. "In the time of Elizabeth there were no stage-sets such as we know them today," Gordon Lea remarked in his 1926 study Radio Drama and How to Write It. "I dare to believe that the scene supplied by the imagination of the audience in those conditions gave Shakespeare's texts a fuller significance than many an elaborate setting of more modern times."
To commemorate the anniversary of Shakespeare's birth on this day, 23 April, in 1564, I am going to consider playwright's fate on commercial radio, whose producers, as The Magnificent Montague drove home, were less concerned with the cultural than with the popular. Then again, Shakespeare could always be relied upon to assuage those who looked upon radio with disdain and who listened far less frequently than they talked back. Among the Shakespearean plays readied for the airwaves were The Taming of the Shrew (soundstaged for the John Barrymore Theater on 26 July 1937, Hamlet (presented by the Theater Guild on 4 March 1951), Othello (adapted for Suspense as a two-parter broadcast on 4 May and 11 May 1953), as well as Julius Caesar (in a Mercury Theater production already discussed here).
Owing to the CBS Radio Workshop, we even get an audience with the immortal bard whose stained-glass likeness (shown above) faces me whenever I step inside my library to reach for a piece of pulp. Conjured up for an interview broadcast on 24 February 1956, he was asked: "Who wrote the plays of William Shakespeare." Not one of those "Who was buried in Grant's tomb?" kind of questions, to be sure.
Hermia's words in Midsummer Night's Dream downplay the challenges of being sightless. A keen ear will succeed where the eye is rendered useless:
Dark night, that from the eye his function takes,
The ear more quick of apprehension makes;
Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense,
It pays the hearing double recompense.
Thou art not by mine eye, Lysander, found;
Mine ear, I thank it, brought me to thy sound.
But why unkindly didst thou leave me so?
Radio listeners need not be left in the dark. They find an audio guide in the narrator, a voice we can trace to the chorus in ancient Greece. From Shakespeare, the wireless playwright may freely borrow the aside, a convention much used in Victorian melodrama, but considered outmoded in 20th-century theater. In radio, those whispered confidences gained force and significance. Tuning in, we are being addressed, as if singled out, to receive privileged information, although often from the mouths of questionable personages with much to answer for. On the radio, the soliloquy became a convention in soap operatics, causing James Thurber to sneer:
The people of Soapland are constantly talking to themselves [. . .]. The soap people also think aloud a great deal of the time, and this usually is distinguished from straight soliloquy by being spoken into a filter, a device that lends a hollow, resonant tone to the mental voice of the thinker.
Whether it attests to the bard's radio readiness or simply suggests a conservative approach to his works, adaptations for radio rarely went beyond abridgments. On the air, listeners were presented with a Streamlined Shakespeare, with mere scraps from King Lear, snippets from Romeo and Juliet, or digests of As You Like It.
"Poor Hamlet, he has never been so interrupted" the narrator of Norman Corwin's "Seems Radio Is Here to Stay" sighs facetiously as the engineer in the broadcasting studio effect the prince's execution: "Stand by to hear a Dane evaporate." There was that time, though, when Hamlet went his own way, escaping the play that takes his name.
How would Shakespeare have fared as a radio dramatist, dealing with that special brand of patronage known as advertising? Just listen to his misadventures in Hollywood, as imagined in this Jerome Lawrence-Robert E. Lee comedy, in which a frustrated "Mr. Shakespeare" (voiced by Vincent Price) discovers that one of his plays is being considered as a "summer replacement for Milton Berle," to be called A Date With Juliet.

Frieze gets physical at long last
Twin events returning to London park generate encouraging overseas interest
Laura Chesters
Among the sales atFrieze Masters by Emanuel von Baeyer was this painting by Thérèse Lessore (1884-1945) of Walter Sickert drawing in front of a mirror, which sold for £5500.
The relief from exhibitors to be back at a physical event was palpable across the giant tent in the north of London's Regent's Park.
"It was a very special feeling to be able to show our pieces in public again. We'd almost forgotten what it felt like!" said Oscar Graf, French specialist in 19th decorative art.
Frieze Masters focuses on "20th-century art and historical art and objects" alongside Frieze London, a 15-minute walk away through the park, which concentrates on Contemporary art.
Both had limited capacity because of coronavirus restrictions and visitors were encouraged to wear masks and asked to show evidence of vaccines or negative tests.
Despite restrictions in place for some tourists, dealers reported visitors had made the effort to attend across the fair's run from October 13-17. A total of 80,000 visitors to the combined 290 galleries across the two tents was recorded.
Amazing response
Peter Osborne at Osborne Samuel said: "People have travelled far and wide to see Frieze, Frieze Masters and our show. We have had an amazing response from around the world."
He said the gallery had "really done all it can" to promote the stand and its exhibition (Henry Moore: Space & Form, running until November 17 in its London gallery) including "videos and promotions for those who can't come to visit in person". Osborne added: "We make a real show at Frieze Masters. Although the numbers may be down due to restrictions, it has still been a very good fair."
The gallery reported six sales from the Moore exhibition at the fair to buyers from India, UK, Germany and the US with prices ranging from £100,000 to seven-figure-sums.
Oscar Graf was also happy with the sales he made. As well as the works pictured above he also sold a c.1896, 20in (50.5cm) high brass Arthur Dixon table lamp made by the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft which went to an American museum, with details yet to be disclosed.
Graf was part of Frieze Stand Out which was curated by Luke Syson, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge – a promotion of a selection of exhibitions across the fair. Others featuring in this section were sculpture specialists Tomasso and Stuart Lochhead.
Lochhead, whose exhibition PLASTER! celebrated the overlooked (and misunderstood) medium of plaster, said: "I could say that it was thrilling to be back seeing clients and colleagues in real life and the atmosphere was really upbeat.
"I could see people were excited to be seeing art in the flesh and we had conversations and exchanges of ideas that we have so missed over the last 18 months."
Lochhead acknowledged that while it was certainly great for connections, some sales may take longer to come for some exhibitors, as many buyers were reticent to rush in and commit.
Not all fair-goers may have balked at the prices for refreshments (£7 coffees and £20 cocktails) but some took to social media to express their shock.
These prices did not, however, dent the appetite of all visitors, and across Frieze and Frieze Masters multiple multi-million-pound sales of Contemporary art were reported.
High-profile sales at Frieze Masters included Robilant + Voena selling a Pablo Picasso drawing with a price of £400,000.
Books selection
Dr Jörn Günther Rare Books sold a selection of books at prices between £500,000-1.5m. See picture caption on facing page for two sale highlights.
Another regular at Frieze Masters, Emanuel von Baeyer, reported strong sales including works that were part of its Walter Sickert (1860-1942) and his circle exhibition on the stand.
Among the sales was a painting by Thérèse Lessore (1884-1945) of Walter Sickert drawing in front of a mirror (pictured above left). It went for £5500 in the first few days of the fair to a UK buyer.
Fine art dealership Didier Aaron sold several works by Danish painter and transgender woman Einar Wegener (1882-1931).
The artist was successful under her birth name but later changed it to Lili Ilse Elvenes and was also known as Lili Elbe. She was among the early recipients of sex reassignment surgery and was the subject of the 2015 film The Danish Girl starring Eddie Redmayne.
Gallery director Marc Fecker confirmed that the gallery "saw interest and further sales throughout the fair from UK-based, as well as international collectors" but declined to give details and prices.
Big-ticket sales may have been slower for some, but the relief to be back making connections to potential new clients made the cost of exhibiting at this international fair worth the outlay – even with the high-priced beverages.
Sixteenth century vintage
Among the sales on the stand of Dr Jörn Günther Rare Books was an illuminated Book of Hours for the use of Rome. The manuscript in Latin and in French on vellum is illuminated by the Master of Spencer 6. It was made in Bourges, France, c.1500-10, and sold to a private collector from Europe for €1.5m (£1.3m).
The dealer also offered books with illustrations by Albrecht Dürer. A first-edition Nuremberg book – three works in one volume, Sammelband: Underweysung der Messung… by German woodblock cutter Hieronymus Andreae (1525, 1527, 1529) sold at €280,000 (£235,000), also to a private European collector.
