The 2017 NBL season was the 36th season of the National Basketball League. For the second year in a row, the league fielded seven teams.

The regular season commenced on Thursday 16 March in Invercargill with the Southland Sharks hosting the Nelson Giants at Stadium Southland. The season contained 13 weeks of regular season games followed by a Final Four weekend in June at Tauranga's ASB BayPark Arena. The seven teams played every team on three occasions to make up an 18-game round robin season.

With an 18–0 record, the Wellington Saints made NBL history by becoming the first team to complete a perfect regular season. They went on to post a perfect 20–0 campaign after sweeping the Final Four and collecting their 10th NBL championship in the process.

Mesocetus
is an extinct genus of baleen whale from the Miocene of Europe (Antwerp, Belgium and Balkans).

Description
Mesocetus is similar to other tranatocetids in having rostral bones that override the frontals and contact the parietals, nasals dividing the maxillae on the vertex, a dorsoventrally bent occipital shield with a more horizontal anterior portion and more vertical posterior portion, and a tympanic bulla with short, narrow anterior portion with rounded or squared anterior end and wider and higher posterior portion that is particularly swollen in the posteroventral area. Shared characters with Tranatocetus include posterior ends of premaxillae fused with the maxillae and divided on the vertex by long, narrow and high (vertical plate-like) nasals and cervical vertebrae with wide transverse foramina, almost as wide as the centra.

Species
 Mesocetus agrami Van Beneden, 1886; known from late Miocene (late Serravallian) of the Balkans.
 Mesocetus aquitanicus Flot, 1896
 Mesocetus hungaricus Kadic, 1907
 Mesocetus longirostris van Beneden, 1880 (type);
 Mesocetus pinguis van Beneden, 1880; nomen dubium
 Mesocetus siphunculus Cope, 1895

Formerly assigned to Mesocetus
 Mesocetus latifrons von Beneden, 1880; now referred to Aglaocetus as A. latifrons
 Mesocetus schweinfurthi Fraas 1904a; now referred to Eocetus as E. schweinfurthi

YouInSeries was an American post-hardcore band from Las Vegas, Nevada.

History 
The group formed in 2003 composed of singer Kyle Lobeck, drummer Cheyne Smith, and guitarist John McClain (aka EggRoll) under the name Brown Eyed Deception.  They gained bassist Jacob Kirkegard in July and guitarist Logan Lanning almost five months after that.  In May 2005 John left the band to pursue other options in life and soon after the band gained guitarist Chris Davila, also known as Critter.  The group toured the US extensively in 2004 and 2005 before signing with Equal Vision Records in December 2005. Brian McTernan produced their debut, Outside We Are Fine, released in May 2006. On June 2, 2006, the group was named SPIN Band of the Day. They toured later in 2006 with Circa Survive, and following this, Smith and Lanning left the group. Daniel replaced Smith on drums and Kevin Ryan (ex-Versus the Mirror) replaced Lanning on guitar. Then in late 2007, Daniel left the band and was replaced by Chris's brother Bryan. On January 24, 2008, it was announced that the band was disbanding.

The West Asian Football Federation (WAFF; ), founded in 2001, is a regional sub-confederation of football, governed under the Asian Football Confederation, for nations in West Asia. The WAFF consists of 12 member associations.
 	
WAFF organizes the WAFF Championship. Some nations from outside the region are occasionally invited to participate in the competition, such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in 2000 and Thailand in 2023. The Secretary General is the Khalil Al Salem from Jordan.

History 
The founding members of the West Asian Football Federation are Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. In 2009, three more associations joined the federation: Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Four other nations of West Asia: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia joined in 2010. Iran left the federation on 10 June 2014, with the creation of the Central Asian Football Federation.

Controversy
On 29 January 2015, after the defeat of Iraq and the United Arab Emirates during the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, West Asian Football Federation members reportedly sought to remove Australia from the AFC primarily due to "Australia benefiting hugely from Asian involvement without giving much in return".

The North Cape York Paman languages are a subdivision of the Paman languages consisting of forty languages, all spoken on the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia. The languages are grouped largely according to R. M. W. Dixon. The only extant branches of this family are Umpila and the Wik languages. The now-extinct Northern Paman branch was unique among Pama-Nyungan languages in containing fricatives. 

The languages are,

In physics, Fujikawa's method is a way of deriving the chiral anomaly in quantum field theory. It uses the correspondence between functional determinants and the partition function, effectively making use of the Atiyah–Singer index theorem.

Derivation
Suppose given a Dirac field  which transforms according to a representation  of the compact Lie group G; and we have a background connection form of taking values in the Lie algebra  The Dirac operator (in Feynman slash notation) is 

and the fermionic action is given by

The partition function is 

The axial symmetry transformation goes as

Classically, this implies that the chiral current,  is conserved, .

Quantum mechanically, the chiral current is not conserved: Jackiw discovered this due to the non-vanishing of a triangle diagram.  Fujikawa reinterpreted this as a change in the partition function measure under a chiral transformation.  To calculate a change in the measure under a chiral transformation, first consider the Dirac fermions in a basis of eigenvectors of the Dirac operator:

where  are Grassmann valued coefficients, and  are eigenvectors of the Dirac operator:

The eigenfunctions are taken to be orthonormal with respect to integration in d-dimensional space,

The measure of the path integral is then defined to be:

Under an infinitesimal chiral transformation, write

The Jacobian of the transformation can now be calculated, using the orthonormality of the eigenvectors

The transformation of the coefficients  are calculated in the same manner.  Finally, the quantum measure changes as

where the Jacobian is the reciprocal of the determinant because the integration variables are Grassmannian, and the 2 appears because the a's and b's contribute equally.  We can calculate the determinant by standard techniques:

to first order in α(x).

Specialising to the case where α is a constant, the Jacobian must be regularised because the integral is ill-defined as written.  Fujikawa employed heat-kernel regularization, such that

( can be re-written as , and the eigenfunctions can be expanded in a plane-wave basis)

after applying the completeness relation for the eigenvectors, performing the trace over γ-matrices, and taking the limit in M.  The result is expressed in terms of the field strength 2-form, 

This result is equivalent to  Chern class of the -bundle over the d-dimensional base space, and gives the chiral anomaly, responsible for the non-conservation of the chiral current.

Theodore Isaac Rubin (April 11, 1923 – February 16, 2019) was an American psychiatrist and author. Rubin is a past president of the American Institute for Psychoanalysis and the Karen Horney Institute for Psychoanalysis. He lived in New York City and was married to Eleanor Katz.

Life and career

Rubin served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was a long-time contributing columnist to the Ladies' Home Journal (1972-?), and the author of more than 25 works of fiction and nonfiction. In 1962, director Frank Perry made the acclaimed film David and Lisa from Rubin's novella Lisa and David. The film was remade by entertainer Oprah Winfrey in 1998. His book Shrink: The Diary of a Psychiatrist, was written in the times of his residences in different psychiatric hospitals in the West Coast of the United States until his decision to move to New York.

For a clinician who rose to prominence within psychoanalysis during the heyday of what is known as "ego psychology" (a movement often criticized for its equation of mental health and conformity to normative American cultural values, exemplified by the pathologizing of homosexuality), Rubin was iconoclastic with regard to psychoanalytic and cultural orthodoxy. Compassion and Self-Hate: An Alternative to Despair (1975), while espousing traditional psychoanalytic notions of repression and defense, emphasizes the centrality of covert self-hate in the phenomenology of neurotic suffering, recommending consciously invoked compassion, a self-help approach which more closely resembles Tibetan Buddhism than psychoanalysis. This dichotomy can be seen in at least one of two ways: as an opening of the psychoanalytic model to existential and spiritual phenomenology (see Epstein's "Thoughts Without a Thinker" for a recent exposition of the idea that psychoanalysis and Buddhist thought can be productively synchronized), or as an unacknowledged radical interrogation of core psychoanalytic assumptions (see DuQuesne's "Killing Freud" for a thorough discussion of this trend in analytic writing).

He died on February 16, 2019, at the age of 95.

Rubin appeared as himself on the April 11, 1966, episode of the game show To Tell the Truth. He was introduced to the audience as a psychologist who counseled people on how to diet and lose weight. Only after he revealed himself did the show's host, Bud Collyer, identify him as a novelist and the author of David and Lisa.

Carex dickinsii, also known as Dickins' sedge or chao xian tai cao in pinyin, is a tussock-forming species of perennial sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It is native to parts of Japan, Taiwan and south-eastern China.

Description
The sedge has a rhizome and forms slender stems that arise from underground. It forms  long culms that have a triangular cross-section and have a rough texture on top and are smooth underneath. The culms have yellow to brown coloured sheaths at there base. The stiff and flat leaves have a width of  and are the same length or longer than the culms. The leaves have sheathed and transverse nodes that are compartmentalied between the veins. It has leaflike bracts that appear in a whorl underneath the inflorescences. The flower spikes usually occur in groups of three with a lateral female spike and a club shapeed terminal male spike that is  in length.

Taxonomy
The species was first described by the botanists Adrien René Franchet and Ludovic Savatier in 1878 as a part of the work Enumeratio Plantarum in Japonia Sponte Crescentium

It has one synonym; Carex coreana described by Liberty Hyde Bailey in 1889.

Distribution
The sedge is found in temperate areas of eastern Asia, from Japan in the north, Korea and the Fujian province of Chine in the south.
