ఫిక్సింగ్ భూతం మరోసారి వెలుగులోకి వచ్చింది. కర్ణాటక ప్రీమియర్ లీగ్ (కేపీఎల్)లో ఫిక్సింగ్ చేశారనే ఆరోపణలతో ఇద్దరు క్రికెటర్లను సెంట్రల్ క్రైమ్ బ్రాంచ్ పోలీసులు అరెస్టు చేశారు. 'బళ్లారి టస్కర్స్' కెప్టెన్ సీఎం గౌతమ్.. అతడి సహచరుడు అబ్రార్ ఖాజీని అదుపులో తీసుకొని విచారిస్తున్నారు.

2019 ఆగస్టు 31న బళ్లారి - హుబ్లీ మధ్య ఫైనల్ మ్యాచ్ జరిగింది. ఈ మ్యాచ్ కోసం వీరిద్దరూ భారీ మొత్తంలో డబ్బులు తీసుకొని ఫిక్సింగ్కు పాల్పడ్డారని కేసు విచారణ చేస్తోన్న అధికారి ఒకరు తెలిపారు.

"కేపీఎల్లో ఫిక్సింగ్ చేసినందుకు ఇద్దరు క్రికెటర్లను అరెస్టు చేశాం. ఆగస్టులో జరిగిన ఫైనల్ మ్యాచ్లో నెమ్మదిగా బ్యాటింగ్ చేసేందుకు వీరు రూ.20 లక్షలు తీసుకున్నారని తెలిసింది. బెంగళూరుతో జరిగిన మరో మ్యాచ్లోనూ ఫిక్సింగ్కు పాల్పడ్డారనే అనుమానం ఉంది" - విచారణాధికారి

ఈ వారంలో ఇలా ఆరుగురిని అరెస్టు చేశారు పోలీసులు. బెంగళూరు ఆటగాడు నిశాంత్ సింగ్ షెకావత్, బెళగావి జట్టు యజమానితో పాటు మరో ముగ్గురుని అదుపులో తీసుకున్నారు. అక్టోబర్ 26న 'బెంగళూరు బ్లాస్టర్స్' బౌలింగ్ కోచ్ విను ప్రసాద్, బ్యాట్స్మన్ విశ్వనాథన్ను ఈ ఆరోపణలతో అరెస్టు చేశారు.

గౌతమ్, అబ్రార్ ఖాజీ దేశవాళి మ్యాచ్లతో పాటు ఐపీఎల్లోనూ ఆడారు. దేశవాళిలో గౌతమ్.. గోవాకు ప్రాతినిధ్యం వహిస్తుండగా, అబ్రార్.. మిజోరం తరఫున ఆడుతున్నాడు.

LEADIN:
A researcher in the UK is surveying freshwater ecosystems, such as ponds and lakes, just by listening to them.
University of Bristol researcher Jack Greenhalgh hopes to create an audio reference library of freshwater species.
STORYLINE:
Researcher Jack Greenhalgh is monitoring the wildlife in this thriving pond.
Rather than casting a net or setting traps, he's simply listening to what it has to say.
Dipping his hydrophone underwater microphone into the pond's water, the PhD student unearths a concerto of life, including aquatic insects and fish.
Greenhalgh is experimenting with bioacoustics - the study of biological sound - to see how it can be used to monitor fresh water ecosystems, such as ponds, lakes and rivers.
It's far less invasive than traditional methods, he says. Researchers sometimes preserve organisms in ethanol, killing them in the process.
"A lot of the time when we survey freshwater ecosystems, people get in there with nets and traps and things, and then ultimately you're disturbing the habitat and sometimes killing organisms," he says.
"The bonus with bioacoustics is that you don't need to do that. You can simply put an underwater microphone in and listen to the sounds that are being made by the species present."
Sounds are vital for the survival of many organisms, from attracting a mate to locating prey.
Greenhalgh says some ponds can sound like a noisy tropical rainforest.
He's now in the early stages of identifying specific sounds, but has already made some progress with certain aquatic insects, that make a brittle sound.
"They're produced by rubbing two hard body parts together, so you get these really clear, distinct sounds that almost sound like if you're scraping something across the top of a wood block," he says.
Almost 90 percent of the world's wetlands disappeared over the past three centuries, with the losses rapidly accelerating since the 1970s.
Their disappearance can trigger environmental woes including rising floods and species threatened with extinction. Climate change also threatens to worsen the problem.
Greenhalgh is working with a team of researchers, farmers and conservationists to "restore" ponds and wetlands that have been filled in to plant crops.
Using chain saws and an excavator, they clear overgrowing trees and shrubs to "resurrect" this dying pond near Hindolveston in the English county of Norfolk.
"We need to start loving nature again, we need to reconnect with nature. And I think the pond is the most amazing connection with nature," says Carl Sayer from University College London and the Norfolk Ponds Project.
"You see, we meet many farmers, we meet many local people. And nearly all of them, they like ponds, people are drawn to ponds. Children are drawn to ponds.
"So, I think ponds is a way in, it's a way into loving nature, reconnecting with nature."
Greenhalgh says surveys taken just a year or two after a restoration project have revealed a diverse acoustic ecosystem - a sure sign that life has returned.
Back at his desk in Bristol (about 180 kilometres west of London), Greenhalgh is busily analysing hours of underwater audio recordings, trying to describe certain species' sounds.
The eventual plan is to create a kind of audio reference library of freshwater species, something that's already been done for woodland birds and bats, for instance.
"The idea could be that if you have enough recordings from a particular species, then you might be able to build up a picture of the type of sound that it makes and describe that, and then use it to identify species from recordings made in the wild," he says.
Greenhalgh says with the addition of machine learning, entire ecosystems could be surveyed using just bioacoustics recordings.
"It may be possible in the future to turn up at a river or a pond, put in your hydrophone and leave it to record, and then use your machine learning approach to identify the species that may be present," he says.
Thriving ecosystems just waiting to be heard.
