April: Punt Return Was a Coaching Breakdown
By Sheil Kapadia·	 11/15/2012, 3:33 p.m.
Sign up to get the best of Philly, every day.
Bobby April seems to understand.
He realizes that in the past two seasons, the Eagles have lost seven games decided by one possession or less. He knows that special teams have come up short time and again as the Birds have followed up a disappointing 8-8 campaign with a 3-6 start.
"The season's been very disappointing because… if you have a dominating special teams – I mean a dominating special teams – many of the games that we've lost, we could have won," April said. "You dominate 'em, and a lot of the games that we lost, we could have won. So I believe that. I believe… if the games are close, special teams and turnovers are going to decide the game."
And he's right. The truth is, if the Eagles just got average play from their special teams, they might have been able to steal a couple wins.
Last week, with the game tied at 17, they gave up a 78-yard touchdown to Cowboys return man Dwayne Harris.
"That's a coaching breakdown," April said. "If you don't have those lanes and distribution of where you need to come from to get to the ball, then somewhere in there, I did not get that entrenched in their mind."
The Eagles have gotten nothing from their special teams for the last year and a half. Football Outsiders currently has April's group ranked 26th. The Eagles are tied for fifth-worst in kickoff coverage, allowing 27 yards per return. Football Outsiders has them second-worst in punt coverage. And they are giving up 13.8 yards per return, tied for second-worst.
The return game has been just as bad. The Eagles are averaging 19.7 yards per kickoff return (28th). And they are one of only six teams without a punt return of more than 20 yards.
April was asked if he understands why fans are so frustrated with the way his unit has let the team down.
"I can understand any definition that they could try to put on the ineptitude of that game," he said.
"It's a big investment. They want to see a great product. And when they don't, they've got every right to be angry. I definitely understand, 100 percent."

A lot of developers toy with the idea of founding a start-up or striking it out on their own somehow. Read on to learn how Lean development strategies can help.
What was his idea? What made me pray for him? Was the idea so stupid?
This guy was a little different. To him, entrepreneurship is almost a pool to rake in money, in which he just wants to jump and swim as fast as possible.
He wanted to be in the market with his on demand service but was unaware of the stiff competition. And he had no strategy on how to market his idea, he was not even aware of the development process he needed or which platform would help to drive more customers!
He has guts, doesn't he?
If you are seriously taking up an idea, you need to think from the scratch. Since I've worked with a number of clients and helped them get their product on board, I would like to share what works the best when someone is all set to launch their start-up.
Don't worry about the fancy name.
Starting off a new business with fully chalked out strategic plans is something difficult. But to bridge the gap you need to arm yourself with a Lean Product Development Strategy.
Is that sounding alien to you? Well, 'Lean development' is about understanding, building, and launching your idea quickly and at the lowest possible cost! Wait.. lowest doesn't refer to 'low-cost development' but 'cost effective development'! While the strategy is all about focusing on getting your product on board quickly, being Lean also delivers top notch performance optimization. If you are an entrepreneur, you might face some challenges no matter what. And the very first difficulty is you don't know what 'not' to do! But guess what, the Lean strategy is all designed to help you understand what to do. So without wasting any more time, let's move on to what Lean is all about and how it is going to help you to create a better product.
So, you've got this new idea, which you think is one in a million. For starters, there are millions of apps on the Google Play Store and iTunes. And the staggering fact is that 99% of apps are downloaded for less than 1000 times, but only get launched by users once in a blue moon. Why did it happen? Duh! Maybe the 'idea' failed to answer the Why, How and What of the business needs the product was looking to address. Putting it another way, these less downloaded, abandoned apps 'solve nothing' and never will! So what's the point of polishing your app features or improving the app icon when it's going to end up in the trash? This is a mistake that most entrepreneurs make. They rush their idea to market, failing to realize the effectiveness of what they are building.
In short, you might discuss your idea, relate it with a problem and analyze if it solves the problem. During this, I perceive the idea and define it with my business expertise.
You had an idea to launch a new ride app like Uber in the market. Fair enough. What now? Have you researched consumer behavior to know if the market segment you chose is not saturated with ride apps? Are they more interested in having a home service fulfilled than having another ride app? As soon as you come to us with an idea, we brainstorm to find how it is related to your existing business, the service you provide, and the industry sectors in which you operate. And the most important step is to identify your client's behavior to understand what they value. But why is assessing the value important? Relate this to the question I asked first - are you creating 'value' with your app idea? You don't want your investments to go wrong, right? And that's where Lean product development comes into play. The main purpose of Lean development is to create an operational flow and eliminate waste. To create a viable offer, partner a relationship and deliver your service, I try to: A. Understand the usefulness of your idea and if it solves a user problem; B. Assess your idea based on the audience's behavior and what they need.
Basically, it's all about finding how your proposed client(s) can gain an advantage vis your service. With this, you can reduce risks and be more precise.
3. Is Your Idea Going Through the 4 Stage Development Process?
It's important that your idea becomes tangible or usable in a way in order to help create a blueprint of your product structure. Finding similar apps in the market is a great way to start. What I prefer is brainstorming popular products similar to your idea and checking them out. Creating a DEMO is a major part of the plan.
In this stage, developers sit together to create first sketches of your product. If you're about to develop a website, you need experts to start putting details in the wireframe. These wireframes are meant to iterate and bring revised versions.
Next up, designing the idea that you're absolutely psyched about. Finding the sweet spot between too bright and too dark won't be easy. And that's why we believe in pulling experts with creative gut instincts to create some unique details in your product.
After your designs are ready, milestones are set with the developers assigned to the task. There must be a stipulated time frame for each milestone completion. Whichever technique is required to maintain the quality of the end product is deployed.
4. Make Minimum Viable Product Your Best Buddy!
What is the difference between the startupreneurs who launched their idea successfully in the market versus those who just dream of doing so?
First things first. Eric Ries, the man who introduced the concept of MVP, describes it as the 'version of your idea which helps you collect maximum validated information about your audience with the least effort.' When you race to deliver the best value to your customer, you must know the MVP concept to build, measure, and learn. This way, you end up wasting as little time and energy as possible and hence save your pennies (you want this, right?).
Enough of this, tell me how to do it! Okay, so, roll out any one of the important features of your app idea in the market to do the A/B testing. Collect feedback from the test and share it with your development team. Do the required tweaks and voila! You are set to go for the grand launch!
5. How Do You Gauge Your Product's Performance? Analytics My Dear Folks!
Take your website development for example - stages 1 to 4 are done. You've got your MVP, launched it, and gotten a feedback. Now, what will you do with that data? The measure of success for your product is just not dependent on the traffic it received or the number of downloads. Whether your idea turned into a reality is about what your target was and if you met it or not. The metrics you find from the analytics will be different if you target general public and your business clients. So an A/B testing is a must which will provide you with actual insights. And that testing also helps find out if a user is committed to your product or not.
Put simply, the Lean product development strategy seems exciting as you need to act small, iterate, learn and develop rapidly. You have more chances of being in a win-win situation with the Lean development strategy.

This week we concluded our series X (ten), all about the Ten Commandments. We looked at commandment #10 - Do not covet. We are plagued by dissatisfaction in what we have because we are always looking to what we don't. The lie of coveting is that if we can change what is around us we will heal what is broken inside us - but what we really need is the deeper healing that only Jesus brings.

His art has been exhibited/performed at MoMA/PS1, Pori Art Museum (Finland), BAM (Brooklyn) and galleries and street corners across the country. He is a recipient of grants from Creative Capital Foundation, the MAP Fund, and the Pollock Krasner Foundation and his work is included in the collection of the Whitney Museum.

Spencer Finch
Spencer Finch pursues the most elusive and ineffable of experiences through his work— from the color of a sunset outside a Monument Valley motel room to the afternoon breeze by Walden Pond, the shadows of passing clouds in the yard of Emily Dickinson's home or the light in a Turner painting. With both a scientific approach to gathering data and a true poetic sensibility, Finch's installations, sculptures and works on paper filter perception through the lens of nature, history, literature and personal experience. Recent major projects include Painting Air, an installation made for the artist's 2012 survey at the RISD Museum of Art, in which more than 100 panels of suspended glass of varying reflectivity refract and distort an abstract mural inspired by the colors of Claude Monet's garden at Giverny.

Charles Long
Since the early 1990's, Charles Long has explored the possibilities of sculpture through a rich vocabulary of materials, colors, images, and shapes. Incorporating references to art history, popular culture, nature and his own experiences, Long's work embraces modernist convention as a means of connecting inner and outer realities, forming pathways between one's mental and bodily experiences and the surrounding environment. Through his many bodies of work over the years, the artist has consistently confronted formal parameters associated with sculpture as obstacles to push beyond, seeing modernism's trajectory as unfinished and full of possibility.
The artist has received a number of honors and awards, most recently the 2008 Award of Merit Medal for Sculpture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York. Throughout the past two decades, Long's work has been the subject of major exhibitions worldwide. His most important solo presentations include CATALIN at The Contemporary Austin in Texas (2014), Fountainhead, a public commission in Dallas, Texas organized by the Nasher Sculpture Center (2013), Pet Sounds at Madison Square Park in New York City (2012), Seeing Green, a solo project in conjunction with All of this and nothing: The 6th Hammer Invitational at the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles (2011), 100 Pounds of Clay at Orange County Museum of Art in California (2010), and More Like a Dream Than a Scheme at David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University in Rhode Island, which traveled to SITE Santa Fe in New Mexico (2005).
His work was featured twice in the Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (1997, 2008), and has also been included in notable group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, SculptureCenter in New York, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, among other museums.
His work is represented in important public and private collections worldwide, including those of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Philadelphia Museum of Art, St. Louis Art Museum in Missouri, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA.

Questions included: What are the new visual metaphors for the self and subjecthood when our ability to see and be seen is expanding, as is our desire to manage our self-image and privacy? Is it possible to opt out of, bypass, or retool commercial interests that potentially collude with national and international policy? How are artists striving to embed their works in the world around them through incursions into media and activism?

Hankins has been working at the Hirshhorn since 2007, and has organized the Robert Irwin: All the Rules Will Change, a two-part project that opened in April of 2016 that comprised of a historical show focusing on Irwin's groundbreaking artworks from the 1960s and a major new scrim installation in response to the Museum's distinctive architecture. Other recent projects include Jennie C. Jones: Higher Resonance; Over, Under, Next: Experiments in Mixed Media; and co-curating At the Hub of Things: New Views of the Collection. Previously, she held curatorial positions at the Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont and the Whitney Museum of American Art. She earned her Ph.D. in art history from Stanford University.
Pickett's Charge builds upon the Hirshhorn's continued commitment to showcasing the ways that artists respond to the unique political and cultural climate of their time. Through its free exhibitions and public programs, the Hirshhorn is dedicated to fostering conversation around the forces that shape creative expression in the twenty-first century.
Bradford (b. 1961) is a Los Angeles–based artist whose work addresses socio-political issues such as race, class, and gender, while also engaging art history. For over two decades, he has expanded the language of abstraction by incorporating personal experience and historical significance into his works. In 2009, Bradford was awarded the MacArthur Genius Grant, and in 2016, he was awarded the US Department of State's National Medal of Arts.
Pickett's Charge will be Bradford's first solo exhibition in Washington, DC, and his first major American solo show following his presentation as the US representative for the 57th Venice Biennale, a selection made possible by the US Department of State.
Bradford drew inspiration for this new work from French artist Paul Philippoteaux's nineteenth-century cyclorama, currently on view in Gettysburg National Military Park, Pennsylvania. Philippoteaux's cyclorama depicts Pickett's Charge—the final charge of the Battle of Gettysburg, which historians cite as the critical turning point of the Civil War and, consequently, of American history (view a 360-video of the 1883-original). Working with a combination of colored paper and reproductions of the original, Bradford transformed the historic Gettysburg imagery into a series of eight powerful, abstract paintings. By cutting, tearing, and scraping through the layers, Bradford reveals the hidden textures and complexities lurking just beneath the surface. Each painting is more than forty-five feet long, and together they will encircle the entire Third Level inner-circle galleries.
The resulting work weaves past and present, illusion and abstraction, inviting visitors to reconsider how narratives about American history are shaped and contested. Posed with his trademark fearlessness, Bradford's open questions—or rather, the deliberations his work elicits—are particularly timely in contemporary America. And considering that the Hirshhorn is situated on the National Mall, these questions are made even timelier.

SEEKING HELP
Why did Kelly Osbourne check into rehab?
Jennifer Roback
12:59 ET, Oct 18 2021
Updated: 13:37 ET, Oct 18 2021
KELLY Osbourne is known as an English television personality, actress, singer, model, and fashion designer.
Over the years, Osbourne has openly struggled with addiction and was seen checking into rehab on October 18, 2021.

Osbourne was seen checking into rehab after she reportedly relapsed in her alcohol addiction battle.
The star is currently seeking treatment in an Austin, Texas facility according to Radar Online.
A source close to the family told the outlet: "The scandal about her mom's exit from The Talk had a tremendous impact on her.
"At the same time, Ozzy has crippling Parkinson's disease and excruciating nerve damage. Kelly felt everything hit her at once."
The news comes just months after she admitted she relapsed in a confessional on her Instagram page.
In the past, Osbourne has admitted to taking amphetamines, tranquilizers and marijuana along with her alcohol addiction.
During a previous interview with Red Table Talk, she also admitted to abusing heroin.

Is Kelly Osbourne in a relationship?
The news of her rehab stint comes just one week after it was announced she split from her boyfriend of nearly one year, Erik Bragg.
Sources told US Weekly that her and her cinematographer boyfriend parted ways after starting a relationship in January 2021.
While Bragg declined to comment about the split, he told the media outlet "Kelly rules. That's it. That's all."
During her appearance on Red Table Talk, Osbourne had revealed that he inspired her to focus on sobriety following her relapse.
"There's so much irony in this last relapse for me because I made it all the way through the pandemic, I made it all the way through," she said about her relapse.
"I was at my boyfriend's house, and I was s**t faced on his couch eating pizza, and he looked over at me and I felt the way he looked at me,' and I was like, 'Oh no, I never want him to look at me like that again. Ever.' Like that didn't make me feel good. What am I doing?"
She later talked about Bragg's disappointment revealing "he hadn't seen that side of me."
"To suddenly be like 'Well, this is the side I never wanted you to see, you've seen it. Let's hope you never meet her again,' it was embarrassing," Osbourne continued.
The actress concluded: "I only want to be the best version of myself, for my family and my boyfriend and my friends and I was not. I was the furthest thing away from that. I've never had a boyfriend who's supportive of me in that area before, and he is very communicative and incredible in that way. So it's really nice — and my parents like him so that's also a positive."
At this time it remains unclear why the couple parted ways or if it had anything to do with Osbourne's relapse.

Who are Kelly's parents?
Osbourne is the daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.
Throughout the course of their 39 year marriage, the couple also welcomed two other children, Jack and Aimee.
Sharon had previously co-hosted The Talk since 2010 but then quit the show in June following an on-air fight with her co-hosts while defending her longtime friend Piers Morgan, later saying she "felt used" by CBS.
Following the news, Ozzy was seen defending his wife as he continues to publicly support her while he deals with multiple health issues.
Ozzy was diagnosed in 2019 with Parkinson's disease and had hid it for a year before publicly addressing it.
Despite the diagnosis, Ozzy had not let it slow him down and was seen at the Grammy award with his daughter just days after revealing the news.
At this time, neither Ozzy or Sharon have addressed their daughter's rehab stint.
US Explainers


At first, you may not understand what the hell is going on, but pay close attention, the opening scenes to Tropic Thunder are some of the funniest screen moments you've seen in a while.
After our main characters are brilliantly introduced, we are thrown into an over the top action sequence being filmed for a huge Hollywood film (called Tropic Thunder). Co-writer and director Ben Stiller stars as chauvinistic, not so good actor Tugg Speedman. He's supported by funny man Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), and super-talented, five time Oscar winner Kirk Lazarus (a side-splitting Robert Downey Jr.).
The three are adapting the true story of Four Leaf Tayback (Nick Nolte), a Vietnam veteran who wrote a bestseller based on his time in the war. Before long, their in-over-his-head director (Steve Coogan) enlists his actors to go off in the jungle by themselves and film the movie "gorilla" style, with dozens of hidden cameras.
The actors are too dimwitted to realize that after a few minutes, they aren't being filmed, but rather being chased by an army of heroin drug lords, who mistake the actors for the DEA. But enough with plot, lets get to the good stuff.
Tropic Thunder has been hit with a lot of controversy, mainly because of the "profane" way it talks about mentally handicapped people. The main conversation in question is when Downey Jr. explains to Stiller how you can never go "full retard" for a film role and expect to win an Oscar. The conversation is funny in and of itself, but made more so due to Downey's hilarious antics. His character is an Australian who has dyed his skin black to portray an African American soldier, (more controversy).
The thing to keep in mind is that these offensive words are being spoken from complete morons. These are people who care only for themselves and have no hesitation to speak poorly about others. The screenplay, by Stiller, Justin Theroux and Etan Cohen, doesn't make these speeches hip. They are making the point that if you talk this way, you really aren't that intelligent.
Great film, but what do you think about The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?
What grade would you give it?
That movie actually did nothing for me. I'd give it a D+.

\section{Conclusion}
In this study we have attempted to calculate the $K\pi$ scattering length at physical pion mass. As this is one of the first calculations done directly at the physical point for both isospin channels, we encounter new features and new issues. The most interesting feature of our study is the effect of around-the-world contributions, which are substantial due to the light pion. This effect is significant at all times on the lattice especially when extracting a small and sensitive quantity such as the binding energy, $\Delta E_{K\pi}$. The time-dependent trend in the value of this quantity remains unexplained and may be a combination of effects considered above or an indicator of physics that has not been taken into account. We look forward with interest towards other analyses carried out at the physical point, where we expect around-the-world effects to play an important role in the study of scattering lengths.

\section{Introduction}
To further our understanding of strong interactions in the standard model, it is of interest to look at particle resonances at low energy, such as kaon-pion scattering. While this can be formulated using an effective-theory approach such as chiral perturbation theory \cite{ChiPT}, simulations of lattice QCD can provide both qualitative and quantitative insight from first principles. This is one of the cleanest scattering processes with regard to systematics and is a stepping stone towards high precision calculations that are particulary sensitive to certain systematic effects, such as in \cite{distillation} and \cite{distillation2}.

In this project, we compute the s-wave $K\pi$ scattering length in the two isospin channels: $I=1/2$ and $3/2$. There are previous determinations for these two quantities \cite{Sasaki, ETMC, Wilson} at unphysically heavy pion and/or kaon masses which use chiral perturbation theory to extrapolate the results to the physical pion and kaon mass. In our work, we calculate the scattering length directly at physical masses, using 23 configurations on a $48^3\times 96$ lattice with inverse spacing $a^{-1} = 1.730(4)$ GeV \cite{UKQCD}. We use the M\"{o}bius domain wall fermion action and an all-to-all setup with meson-field contractions for computing propagators. We compute a number of low modes of the Dirac operator exactly, and the high modes are stochastically sampled by inverting the Dirac operator on $Z_2\times Z_2$ noise sources.
\section{Methodology}
We are interested in the s-wave scattering length, $a_0$, described by L\"{u}scher's formula \cite{Luscherformula} for interactions in a Euclidean volume of spatial extent $L$ as
\begin{align}
    \Delta E_{K\pi} &= -\frac{2\pi a_0}{\mu_{K\pi}L^3}\left(1 + c_1\frac{a_0}{L} +c_2\frac{a_0^2}{L^2}\right) + \mathcal{O}\Big(\frac1{L^6}\Big), \label{eqn:luscher}
\end{align}
where $c_1 = -2.837297$, $c_2 = 6.375183$ and $\mu_{K\pi}=m_\pi m_K/(m_{\pi}+m_K)$ is the reduced mass. Eqn. (\ref{eqn:luscher}) relates the scattering length to $\Delta E_{K\pi}$, the binding energy of the $K\pi$ composite state. This in turn can be extracted by studying the ground state of the 2-point function of some $K\pi$ operator. In our study, we choose the following $K\pi$ operator
\begin{align}
    O_{K\pi}(t) = K(t+\delta)\pi(t),
\end{align}
where the kaon and pion are separated in time  by $\delta=a$ in order to avoid unwanted contributions from additional Wick contractions of the correlated $Z_2$ noise sources. The corresponding 2-point function
\begin{align}
    C_{K\pi}(t) =& \langle O^{\text{snk}}_{K\pi}(t)O^{\dagger\text{src}}_{K\pi}(0)\rangle = \langle K(t+\delta)\pi(t)(K(\delta)\pi(0))^{\dagger}\rangle, \label{eqn:operators}
\end{align}
 has a straightforward spectral decomposition in infinite volume with ground state energy $E_{K\pi}=m_K+m_{\pi}+\Delta E_{K\pi}$. However, periodic boundary conditions introduce `around-the-world' effects, giving rise to additional terms
\begin{align}
    C_{K\pi}(t) = &|\langle K \pi|K(\delta) \pi(0)| 0\rangle|^{2} \left(e^{-E_{K \pi} t} + e^{-E_{K \pi}(T-t)}\right) \label{term:cosh}\\
    &+|\langle \pi|K(\delta) \pi(0)| K\rangle|^2 e^{-m_{K} t} e^{-m_{\pi}(T-t)} \label{term:piKpiK}\\
    &+|\langle K|K(\delta) \pi(0)| \pi\rangle|^2 e^{-m_{\pi} t} e^{-m_{K}(T-t)} \label{term:KKpipi} \\
    &+\cdots \nonumber
\end{align}
where $T$ is the time extent of the lattice, and further terms are suppressed by multiples of pion and kaon masses. The 2-point function has a cosh-like term (\ref{term:cosh}) and two around-the-world (ATW) terms (\ref{term:piKpiK}) and (\ref{term:KKpipi}) corresponding to single meson states going around the periodic boundary. The binding energy, $\Delta E_{K\pi}$, appears in the cosh-like term and to extract it precisely from $C_{K\pi}$, we must account for the two ATW terms. Note that this is the case even with the modest statistical precision of our study.

Using all-to-all propagators should allow for low statistical error per configuration in $C_{K\pi}(t)$ by averaging multiple source planes. However, it is possible to have further noise cancellations on each configuration by instead studying the ratio
\begin{align}
    R_{K\pi}(t) = \frac{C_{K\pi}(t)}{C_K(t)C_{\pi}(t)} = \frac{\langle K(t+\delta)\pi(t)(K(\delta)\pi(0))^{\dagger}\rangle}{\langle\pi(t)\pi(0)^{\dagger}\rangle\langle K(t+\delta)K(\delta)^{\dagger}\rangle},
\end{align}
which also separates into a cosh-like piece, $R_{K\pi}^{\text{cosh}}(t)$, and an ATW piece $R_{K\pi}^{\text{ATW}}(t)$. Here we use the pion and kaon 2-point functions, which we separately fit to also extract the values of the pion and kaon masses and their amplitudes.

The ATW part of this ratio is given by
\begin{align}
    R^{\text{ATW}}_{K\pi}(t) = &\left|\frac{\langle \pi|K(\delta) \pi(0)| K\rangle}{\langle 0|K| K\rangle\langle\pi|\pi| 0\rangle}\right|^2 \frac{e^{-m_{K} t} e^{-m_{\pi}(T-t)}}{\left(e^{-m_{\pi}t}+e^{-m_{\pi}(T-t)}\right)\left(e^{-m_Kt}+e^{-m_K(T-t)}\right)} \\
    &+\left|\frac{\langle K|K(\delta) \pi(0)| \pi\rangle}{\langle 0|K| K\rangle\langle\pi|\pi| 0\rangle}\right|^2 \frac{e^{-m_{\pi} t} e^{-m_{K}(T-t)}}{\left(e^{-m_{\pi}t}+e^{-m_{\pi}(T-t)}\right)\left(e^{-m_Kt}+e^{-m_K(T-t)}\right)}.
\end{align}

All terms in this equation are fully determined by the information from the pion and kaon 2-point functions except for the matrix elements $\langle \pi|K(\delta) \pi(0)| K\rangle$ and $\langle K|K(\delta) \pi(0)| \pi\rangle$. In order to compute them, we separately construct correlation functions --- called $C_{\pi K\pi K}$ and $C_{KK\pi\pi}$ respectively --- that carry these matrix elements in their ground state contributions. In particular, we use the following 3-point functions
\begin{align}
    C_{\pi K\pi K} &= \langle \pi(\Delta)K(t+\delta)\pi(t)K(0)\rangle \label{eqn:piKpiK}\\
    &= \langle 0|\pi|\pi\rangle \langle \pi|K(\delta)\pi(0)|K\rangle \langle K|K|0\rangle  e^{-m_{\pi}(\Delta-t)}e^{-m_Kt}+\cdots,\nonumber\\
    C_{KK\pi\pi} &= \langle K(\Delta)K(t+\delta)\pi(t)\pi(0)\rangle \label{eqn:KKpipi}\\
    &= \langle 0|K|K\rangle \langle K|K(\delta)\pi(0)|\pi\rangle \langle\pi|\pi|0\rangle e^{-m_{\pi}t}e^{-m_K(\Delta-t)}+\cdots. \nonumber
\end{align}

The unknown matrix elements $\langle \pi|K(\delta) \pi(0)| K\rangle$ and $\langle K|K(\delta) \pi(0)| \pi\rangle$ can then be extracted by fitting these 3-point functions to their analytical forms. In this way we can now completely account for the ATW contributions and what remains is to extract the signal. As before, the signal lies in the cosh-like term
\begin{align}
    R_{K\pi}^{\text{cosh}}(t) = A\frac{\left(e^{-({m_{\pi}+m_K}+\Delta E_{K\pi})t} + e^{-(m_{\pi}+m_K+\Delta E_{K\pi})(T-t)}\right)}{\left(e^{-m_{\pi}t} + e^{-m_{\pi}(T-t)}\right)\left(e^{-m_Kt} + e^{-m_K(T-t)}\right)}, \label{eqn:cosh}
\end{align}
where all the terms are known except the amplitude, $A$, and $\Delta E_{K\pi}$ which we fit for. Using the fit value of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$ in L\"{u}scher's formula (\ref{eqn:luscher}), we are able to determine the value of the scattering length. The lattice quantities required for this analysis are the pion and kaon 2-point functions, the $K\pi$ 2-point function, and the two 3-point functions for determining the unknown ATW matrix elements.

Now that the procedure for calculating the scattering length is well defined, recall that we must do this for the two isospin channels $I=1/2$ and $3/2$. The above described procedure remains the same for the two isospin channels, however, in each case a given correlator is made up of weighted diagrammatic contributions corresponding to the isospin-dependent Wick contractions for that channel. The source operator in eqn. (\ref{eqn:operators}) is fixed to
\begin{equation}
    O_{K\pi}^{\text{src}}(t) = T\left[(\overline{u}\gamma_5 s)(t+\delta)(\overline{u}\gamma_5 d)(t)\right],
\end{equation}
while different sink operators are used to project onto the isospin $1/2$ or $3/2$ channels
\begin{align}
    O_{K\pi}^{\text{snk}\, I=1/2}(t) &= T\left[(\overline{d}\gamma_5 s)(t+\delta)\;(\overline{u}\gamma_5 d)(t) - \tfrac{1}{2}(\overline{u}\gamma_5 s)(t+\delta)\;(\overline{d}\gamma_5 d)(t)\right.\nonumber \\
    &\qquad+ \left.\tfrac{1}{2}(\overline{u}\gamma_5 s)(t+\delta)\;(\overline{u}\gamma_5 u)(t)\right], \\
    O_{K\pi}^{\text{snk}\, I=3/2}(t) &= T\left[(\overline{u}\gamma_5 s)(t+\delta)\;(\overline{u}\gamma_5 d)(t)\right].
\end{align}
The $C_{K\pi}$ correlation function is thus constructed from the combinations
\begin{align}
C_{K\pi}^{I=1/2} = D + \frac{1}{2}C - \frac{3}{2}R, \quad
C_{K\pi}^{I=3/2} = D - C,
\end{align}
where $D$, $C$, and $R$ are the direct, crossed and rectangular contractions, as illustrated in figure \ref{fig:DCR}. The same distinction is made when constructing the 3-point functions (\ref{eqn:piKpiK}) and (\ref{eqn:KKpipi}) for the two isospin channels.

Previous results for the $K\pi$ scattering length in the two isospin channels are listed in table \ref{tab:results}. We find sensible fits to $R_{K\pi}(t)$ in both channels, as shown in figure \ref{fig:fits}. However, we find a systematic drift in the fit results upon varying the $t_{min}$ and $t_{max}$ of the fit interval, shown in figure \ref{fig:variations}. Thus the fit result is not stable. To explain this trend in the fit value of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$ we consider the following possible explanations: effect of ATW contributions, contamination by excited states and availability of statistics.

\subsection{`Around-the-world' effects}

\begin{figure}[t]
    \centering

     \hfill
     \subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.49\textwidth]{plots/rat32.pdf}}
     \caption{Effect of the ATW terms in fitting $R_{K\pi}(t)$. These plots show the time-dependence of the ratio of the cosh-like component of fits using two different ansatz: $R_{K\pi}(t) = R_{K\pi}^{cosh}(t)$ and $R_{K\pi}(t) = R_{K\pi}^{cosh}(t)+R_{K\pi}^{ATW}(t)$.}
     \label{fig:ratio}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[t]
    \centering
    \subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.49\textwidth]{plots/ATW12.pdf}}
     \hfill
     \subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.49\textwidth]{plots/ATW32.pdf}}
     \caption{Variation in fit value of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$ with fit intervals, extracted from $R_{K\pi}(t)$ from two ansatz, one accounting for ATW contributions, and the other not. It can be seen here that the ATW terms have a constant additive contribution to the value of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$.}
     \label{fig:ATW}
\end{figure}

By looking at the functional form of $R_{K\pi}^{\text{ATW}}(t)$, eqns. (\ref{eqn:piKpiK}) and (\ref{eqn:KKpipi}), it is evident that ATW terms have time-dependent contributions. As the systematic trend we see in the fits to $R_{K\pi}(t)$ is also time-dependent, it is worthwhile to study the effect of these ATW terms in the overall determination of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$. We investigate this effect by studying the cosh-like component of fits done with and without accounting for the ATW terms. This is to quantify how the ATW terms are absorbed into the cosh only ansatz when the ATW terms are unaccounted for, as shown in figure \ref{fig:ratio}. This tells us that the ATW terms have a time-dependent linear contribution at all times. To understand their effect on the value of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$, we look at eqns. (\ref{eqn:piKpiK}-\ref{eqn:cosh}) at small $t$, where
\begin{align}
    R_{K\pi}(t) \approx A + B\Delta E_{K\pi}t + C_{ATW}t + \mathcal{O}(t^2)
\end{align}
 which implies that the ATW terms shift the value of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$ when they are not accounted for. This shift is shown in figure \ref{fig:ATW} for both isospin channels. The effect of the ATW terms is particularly important in the $I=3/2$ channel where the shift is comparable in magnitude to $\Delta E_{K\pi}$.

ATW terms are substantial and present at all times, which is a particular feature of our study owing to the (low) physical pion mass which allows the ATW terms to be more dominant. It is therefore important to account for these terms in any further studies made at the physical point for a reliable determination of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$. However, as shown in figure \ref{fig:ATW}, they lead to a constant shift and do not account for the time-dependence.

\subsection{Excited states}
To investigate further the source of the time-dependent trend in the fit values of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$, we next study the effect of excited states in our $R_{K\pi}$ data. We do this by looking at the effective mass plot for $R_{K\pi}$ using our data, generated using all-to-all propagators, and data generated using a distillation procedure \cite{distillation} where the ground state of a $K\pi$ operator is determined to a greater accuracy. This is shown in figure \ref{fig:ES}, which reveals excited state contamination at low times. However these effects die out at larger times, and are negligible in the range where we perform fits (the grey area in the plots). While the distillation data has greater precision in comparison to the all-to-all data, this comparison shows us that the systematic trend we see in the fit value of $\Delta E_{K\pi}$ is unlikely a consequence of excited state effects.

\begin{figure}[t]
    \centering
    \subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.49\textwidth]{plots/m_eff_comp12.pdf}}
     \hfill
     \subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.49\textwidth]{plots/m_eff_comp32.pdf}}
     \caption{Effective mass plots for $R_{K\pi}(t)$ in the two isospin channels, comparing the contamination of excited states in the all-to-all data compared to data generated via distillation. The grey region corresponds to the region where fits are made. $N_c$ refers to the number of configurations used.}
     \label{fig:ES}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Statistics}
$\Delta E_{K\pi}$ is an extremely delicate quantity in comparison to the other observables we compute in this analysis. For example, the pion and kaon masses on the lattice are $am_{\pi}=0.0803(2)$ and $am_K=0.2887(2)$, and therefore $a\Delta E_{K\pi}$ is of the order of magnitude of the error in these masses. In our study we attempt to extract this using 23 configurations. While the all-to-all setup allows us to compute propagators with relatively low statistical error due to availability of a large number of source planes per configuration, the overall number of configurations is a limiting factor. Figure \ref{fig:ES} also indicates this effect of statistics as the distillation study has more configurations ($N_c=35$). However, comparison of the effective masses suggests it to be unlikely that the time-dependent trend in the fit for $\Delta E_{K\pi}$ is a direct effect of statistics, especially in the $I=3/2$ channel where the all-to-all data is in good agreement with the distillation data. We are therefore in need of larger statistics to pin down the systematics effects we see.

President Barrow Meets The Press
Mr. Adama Barrow, the President of the Republic of The Gambia has met local and international journalist at a press conference held at the Office of the President in Fajara on Thursday, July 27.
The Gambian leader answered tons of questions on governance, the economy, human rights, youth unemployment, development blueprint and constitutional reform among other important issues.
"Political campaign and governance are not the same. When you take over a government you realize it is full of challenges," President Adama Barrow said.
President Barrow called on the Gambian people to exercise patience as his government will surely deliver on the promises made during his campaign that brought about the downfall of the former president who ruled the country with an iron fist for the past 22 years.
"We will get there," he added.
Barrow told journalist about the plans of his government to provide a development blueprint which is expected to be complete in the next two weeks as the Secretary General and Head of the Civil Service is compiling the papers.
The Gambian leader said his government's top priorities is to revive the economy and the energy sector. He asserted that the economy was almost empty at the time of assuming office which he said has made the Finance Minister the busiest minister in the cabinet doing everything possible to rebuild the economy. He also talked about the energy sector, saying they have a roadmap for NAWEC, a short and medium term plan to stabilize things. He added that the agreement with Senegal is part of the short term plan.
He talked about the country's petroleum particularly the oil mining project formerly called by the former president as the 'ALHAMDULILAH PROJECT'. He claimed that the prospects are high as bigger companies are bidding for contracts. He promised that the project will be very transparent and there will be accountability.
President Barrow said his government is planning to set up more commissions including the establishment of the Lands Commission to look into the the cases of communities and individuals whose lands were forcefully taken.
The president was further questioned about a post on his official Facebook page that threatened to charge journalist with sedition but the president does not give a direct answer as to whether he was aware or responsible of the said post. He only talked about his government's commitment to bring in good media laws. He promised his government will be very media friendly which he said is the reason why he appointed a senior journalist and activist in the person of Demba A. Jawo as the Minister of Information, Communication and Infrastructure.
"A healthy nation is a wealthy nation," he interjected.
He talked about the plans of his government to provide health services as they are doing everything possible to reform the country's health sector.
President Barrow told journalist that the Bamba Tenda/Yelli Tenda bridge project is at an advanced stage. He disclosed that efforts are on the way to bridge Banjul/Barra river. He also promised to bring back a better river transport like in the past.
Meanwhile, the president said his government has not signed any agreement with European countries to deport the Gambian nationals.

All roofing work is covered by a 10 YEAR LABOR WARRANTY.
We can help you with insurance claims work.
Getting a new metal roof is one of the smartest investments you could make to increase the value of your home since it can offer beauty, longevity, energy efficiency and is environmentally sustainable. While the setup cost of a high quality metal roof will be higher than some roofing materials like asphalt shingle roofs, it's still an investment that will pay back returns over the span of a lifetime. Your new metal roof could last at least 30 to 50 years, or even more with regular maintenance since they need to be repainted to protect from the elements. A metal roof will offer benefits to every size of home in any region of the country, and may even increase the resale value of your home.
Metal roofing will be able to protect a home from extreme weather such as high winds, hail, or even fire with little maintenance. Your metal roof will accommodate a wide variety of styles, shapes, and colors, which can allow for bold architectural statements while effortlessly complementing any home or neighborhood. This material will also maintain their great looks much longer than other roofing materials. Unlike asphalt or other roofing styles, a properly constructed metal roof can handle just about anything Mother Nature can throw at it. Metal is thought of as the most environmentally-friendly and sustainable roofing material currently available based on many factors. Most metal roofs are made from between 30 and 60% recycled materials and are themselves 100% recyclable.
Life Expectancy – When installed properly, your new metal roof could last as long as your house does by sealing out water, surviving the high winds, and shedding snow with ease. Choosing metal as your next roofing material will make it more resistant to fire, mildew, and insect problems. The warranty on your metal roof may vary, but many companies support their products for between 20 and 50 years, while the top layer paint finishes will usually have a 30-year limited warranty which varies based on region.
Structural Weight – When compared with clay tiles of 750 lbs per square (equal to 100 sq. ft.), or concrete tiles of 900 lbs. per square, a metal roof is considered lightweight. Most types of metal roof materials will run anywhere from 50lbs. to 150lbs. per square. Typically, metal roof materials will come in sections of shingles or 12" – 36" wide panels. Some types of metal roofing materials might be applied over the existing roof without having to tear down and add further structural support.
Installation Ease – Our experienced roofers will install these quickly, so if your roof is stripped with a storm on the way, then shortening the install process by one or two days may have a major advantage. Since the metal roof is lighter weight, you'll be able to save more on engineering costs and when building the supporting structure out.
Fire-Resistance – Since metal roofs are non-combustible, they usually will hold a Class-A fire rating, which is the most resistant, although a portion of your roof's classification may depend on materials underneath the surface that may catch flame near intense heat. Plenty of metal roofs applied on top of a combustible material like wood shingles will carry a Class-C rating.

Les Humanoïdes (The Humanoids)
May 22, 2015 in ★★★★★, France, Il était une fois... l'espace, Procidis, Television programs | Tags: 1983, Albert Barillé, Apis, humanoids, Libellule, robots, science fiction, Yama
Director: Albert Barillé
Airing date: February 26?, 1983
It's the last ride of the Libellule, Pierrot's and Psi's little spaceship, and the last flight of our heroes as a team.
What should have been a routine flight, turns into disaster, when our heroes encounter enormous space vessels, which together are able to destroy complete planets (similar to the Death Star in 'Star Wars' from 1977). Composer Michel Legrand enhances the menace of these weapons of mass destruction by accompanying the images with a repeated, uncanny electronic riff.
When intercepted by space ships, the Libellule crashes on the planet Apis, where Psi is captured by the very humanoids she had encountered in 'Les anneaux de Saturne'. While she is taken to the neighbor planet Yama, Pierrot joins a rebel group of humans fighting the humanoids, and two of them, Sylva and Gillio, join him and Metro on a journey to find one captain Murdock, the only one on Apis that owns a spaceship.
In 'Les humanoïdes' the mysterious ally of Cassiopeia, Yama, reveals itself. It turns out to be a whole planet of humanoids, controlled by a supercomputer. In fact, Yama is behind every robot-involved scheme in the entire series, as they will reveal later.
'Les humanoïdes" is the first episode of the six-part mini-series within the 'Il était une fois… l'espace' that constitutes its great finale. This finale in particular elevates the series above average, giving this series its extra grandeur. Barillé himself must have seen their potential, as these episodes were modified into a feature film called 'la revanche des humanoïdes' (Revenge of the Humanoids) and released later that year.
Watch 'Les Humanoïdes' yourself and tell me what you think:
This is the 21st episode of 'Il était une fois… l'espace' (Once Upon a Time… Space)
To the 20th episode: La revanche des robots (The Revenge of the Robots)
To the 22nd episode: Un monde hostile (An hostile world)

How's Howe? "It is an amazing feeling to be mathematically safe"

It's time for another weekend of footy, folks. In advance of Monday's home finale against Arsenal at St James' Park, Eddie Howe addressed the media on Thursday morning.
Newcastle is entering the last two games of their season already knowing they will be a Premier League club next year no matter what happens in that couple of matches.
Howe has dropped clues about what's next for Newcastle in the remaining two weeks of activity, but there were real interest and expectations today as all media members expect legit answers from the coach himself before the ball rolls next Monday. Here's what went down in the room.
No way this thing could start in any other way, with any other question. Re: the official dodging of relegation and staying in the top flight.
"It's an amazing feeling to be mathematically safe. It's great to finally have achieved the objective we set out to do and full credit to the players who, from minute one, have given us everything."
Sounds like a little accomplishment given everything we know about Newcastle, the new board in charge of the club, etc, etc... but it was a daunting and huge task back when this new era started last October. Newcastle was sitting in a very dark and deep position and avoiding relegation was far from a sure thing. Welp, kudos to Eddie and the lads for pulling off the feat!
About Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson, who both made their comebacks against Manchester City last weekend, Howe clarified their situations and the status of both recently-recovered guys in advance of Monday's clash with Arsenal:
"Both players would say they're very keen to start but my job is to make sure I'm doing what's best for the team."
"We've got to make sure they're fit enough to last a long period in the game. We'll make a decision based on the training week."
There have been whispers out there through the early days of the week speaking, in fact, about the possibility of both Trippier and Wilson making it to the Magpies' starting XI. It feels like Howe is not into any kind of rushing—and we approve, honestly—so we'll see how the final selection looks by Monday night.

Moving onto more "peripheral" stuff, media members could—of course—not keep it to themselves so they had to ask about the Magnificent Geordie Maradona on loan at Bristol Rovers, Elliot Anderson.
Anderson, who is still to turn 20 years old, got from Wallsend Boys Club to Newcastle at the ripe age of eight. So, yeah, consider him the freshest of Newcastle's Academy graduates. He has already debuted with the seniors of the first team entering the FA Cup third-round game against the Gunners last season in the 87th minute of play. He moved to Bristol Rovers on Jan. 31 of this year on loan until the end of the season, has thrived with the League Two club, and he has us all excited. Yes, Howe included.
"We're very pleased for him. We didn't necessarily want to pitch him into League Two, we felt he was better than that level, but he's excelled."
"It's difficult to go out as a young player and make a difference but he made an incredible difference."
With only two games left on the Magpies' schedule, here's Howe on his state of mind and approach to them.
"We're really keen to end the season with two very good performances."
"It's so important we perform in our last home game and leave a good feeling with our supporters for the summer, and whet their appetite for what's going to come next year."
Howe also updated everybody on the status of injured Jonjo Shelvey and Joe Willock, who missed last weekend's outing against Manchester City entirely not even making the final eligible squad.
"Jonjo has quite a serious calf injury, which is similar to the one he sustained at the start of the season. He'll be out for a period of time but we expect him back for pre-season with no problems."
"Joe has had an issue with a tendon in his knee for a while. We thought we'd solved the problem but it's come back. He needs a period of rest, he's had a couple of injections, but we anticipate he'll be fine for pre-season."
Expect not to watch Jonjo/Joe in any of the two games ahead, but surely stay ready for a pre-season comeback as that's where their target timelines for recovery seem to be placed.
On long-time injured Ryan Fraser, Howe also provided an encouraging update.
"Ryan returned to training yesterday which is great to see. He trained very well so fingers crossed he's fine."

Not a chance media members skipped the topic everybody is interested in knowing more about and getting some intel: the summer transfer plans of the Mags.
"FFP does impact what we can do in the summer but it doesn't mean we're totally without ambition."
"We're well aware that we have to change the squad and we have to make improvements but it's going to be a difficult balance."
Howe didn't mention it, obviously, but The Athletic has reported that Newcastle will operate under a transfer budget between €70M and €95M for starters, with any other money they can get from selling players added to that figure. About that last detail, The Telegraph is reporting that "Matt Ritchie, Ciaran Clark, Karl Darlow, Federico Fernandez, Isaac Hayden, Jeff Hendrick, and Dwight Gayle are all able to leave at the end of the season if they can find another club." We'll see how that evolves in the next few days and weeks.

News INOVAIT Spring 2021 Funding – Applications OPEN!
INOVAIT is a pan-Canada network who is entrusted to grow Canada's image-guided therapy (IGT) industry into a true global leader by facilitating the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) data handling into the most promising Canadian IGT companies and technologies.
Established in 2020 and supported by the Government of Canada's Strategic Innovation Fund, INOVAIT invests strategically in collaborative academic-industry partnerships that builds upon Canada's strength in digital innovation and health science research to create a critical mass of world-leading IGT companies.
INOVAIT is pleased to announce a Canada-wide call for applications from industry and academic members for its first open round of pilot funding for collaborative research and development projects in the image-guided therapy (IGT) and artificial intelligence (AI) space.
In this round of funding, INOVAIT is looking to provide short-term pilot R&D projects in AI and IGT with up to $125,000 in matching funds. The most promising projects will then be eligible for follow-on funding of equal or greater amounts for three subsequent years. This competition is open to Canadian corporations, academic institutions, and not-for-profit organizations; however, each project requires two or more Canadian partners and must actively involve at least one Canadian small and medium enterprise (SME). Applications must be submitted no later than April 15, 2021.
