Justin Bieber: Actually I DO Want to Fight Tom Cruise!
by Simon Delott at June 20, 2019 4:39 pm .
A week and a half ago, Justin Bieber challenged Tom Cruise to an MMA fight for no apparent reason.
Fans raised their eyebrows and laughed, and were reassured by reports saying that the Biebs harbors no such desire.
But now a new, very credible report says that Justin has agreed to the fight during a secret phone call. Is this really happening?
"I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon," Justin Bieber tweeted on Sunday, June 9 for reasons that we cannot fathom.
"Tom," the Biebs taunted. "If you don't take this fight you're scared."
"And," he vowed. "You will never live it down."
"Who is willing to put on the fight?" Justin asked the global audience of millions who read his tweets.
But when people asked Justin about this in person, he said that he was just joking, that he'd tweeted out the dare on impulse.
Apparently Justin is also a huge fan of Tom Cruise, despite having never met him.
Weird, but not as alarming as an actual desire to play the meat version of Rock'em Sockem Robots, right?
Except apparently, the Biebs was either lying or had a huge change of heart.
TMZ is now reporting that one secret phone call has begun to lay the groundwork for the fight to really happen.
According to them, Art Emanuel called Scooter Braun last Friday.
Art Emanuel is the co-CEO of the William Morris Endeavor agency.
That agency owns UFC.
Apparently the phone call then conferenced in Dana White, the current president of the UFC.
TMZ reports that Ari noted that a fight like this would be incredible if it happens -- and that it should definitely happen.
In the mean time, Dana said that he was "100%" down with this plan.
Scooter Braun's take on the conversation was reportedly that Justin would go through with it ... if Tom Cruise is up for it.
Unlike Justin, Tom has not yet spoken out about the idea of pummeling the other man in the octagon.
But Ari stated during the call that he strongly believes that Tom will go for it.
(TMZ does not explain why Ari is so confident about this -- maybe it's bluster, maybe he knows something)
Most 56-year-old men with plenty of money wouldn't feel compelled to step into the ring with a 25-year-old.
But Tom doesn't exactly think or make decisions like the rest of us, what with all of the thetans clouding our judgment.
So we wouldn't want to predict what Tom will actually do.
Let's put ourselves in Hailey's tiny, delicate shoes for a moment.
She just married this dude last year. It hasn't even been a year since the Biebs popped the question, right?
They didn't have the big, splashy wedding that you'd imagine for a couple of their caliber.
They haven't had their first wedding anniversary yet.
Now, her husband who admittedly has mental health issues is impulsively challenging a dude he's never met to a fight.
If Hailey were a very different person, she might be overjoyed that Justin's going into the octagon.
We here at THG have shared our opinions about whether Justin Bieber can beat Tom Cruise, and the results don't look great for the Biebs.
If Hailey weren't who she is, she might be giddily wondering if she's about to become a very rich widow.
But that's not who she is. She loves Justin and would be horrified if he received an all-too-common serious injury that can arise from fights.
Honestly? We'd be morbidly curious about seeing this fight play out, but we don't want to see the Biebs hurt.

\section{Introduction}
The primary goal of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment~\cite{cms_det_paper}
is to explore particle physics at the TeV energy scale
exploiting the proton-proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)~\cite{LHC}.
During October-November 2008 CMS conducted a month-long data taking exercise
with the goal of commissioning the experiment for extended operation~\cite{CRAFTGeneral}.
The experiment
recorded 270 million
cosmic ray triggered events with the solenoid at its nominal axial field
strength of 3.8~T.
Prior to this, and during the final installation phase of the experiment, a
series of week-long commissioning exercises to record cosmic ray events took
place from May to September 2008, without magnetic field. Over 300 million
cosmic ray triggers were accumulated during this data taking period.
The drift-tube muon system of the detector continuously provided the trigger to the experiment and enabled
muon track reconstruction. The drift-tube Local Trigger is the component of the
trigger system that provides the information to
reconstruct muon trigger candidates in the drift-tube system.

This paper describes the performance of the drift-tube Local Trigger system
determined from data collected in this data taking period.
Results include measurements of the system efficiency,
the performance of the bunch crossing identification,
the position and angular resolution of the muon-trigger candidate, and the
false dimuon trigger rate. The trigger data are also compared with
software emulation. Such studies test the reliability of the system
and improve the understanding of the muon trigger performance
in preparation for LHC operation.
The trigger system design is optimized for muons
produced in bunched-beam collisions.
The random arrival time of the cosmic rays degrades the average performance
compared to the expectations for proton-proton collisions.
However, results for particles traversing the detector with the proper timing
show that the system will perform as required for muons produced at the LHC.

\section{The Experimental Apparatus}
\label{dttrigger}

The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a
superconducting solenoid, of $\rm 6\,m$ internal diameter, providing a field of
$\rm 3.8\,T$. Within the field volume are the silicon pixel and strip tracker, the
crystal electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), and the brass/scintillator hadron
calorimeter (HCAL).  Muons are measured in gas-ionization detectors embedded
in the steel return yoke.  In addition to the barrel and endcap detectors,
CMS has extensive forward calorimetry.
A detailed description of the CMS experiment
can be found in Ref.~\cite{cms_det_paper}.

CMS uses a right-handed coordinate system, with the origin at the
nominal collision point, the $x$-axis pointing to the center of the
LHC, the $y$-axis pointing up (perpendicular to the LHC plane), and
the $z$-axis along the anticlockwise-beam direction.
The polar angle, $\theta$, is measured from the positive $z$-axis and
the azimuthal angle, $\phi$, is measured in the $x$-$y$ plane.

The CMS experiment has a two-level trigger system: the Level-1 Trigger and the High Level Trigger.
The Level-1 Trigger is composed of custom
hardware processors and it uses information from the calorimeters and muon
detectors to select the events with a constant latency of about 3.5 $\mu$s. The High Level Trigger
processor farm further decreases the event rate from a maximum input rate of  $\rm 100\,kHz$ to an event recording rate of approximately
$\rm 100\,Hz$~\cite{trig_TDR,workflow}.

 \begin{figure}[hbtp]
\includegraphics[width=16.4cm]{figure1_merged_ok.pdf}
    \caption{Left: schematic view of one of the five  wheels of the muon barrel system of the CMS
experiment, in the $x$-$y$ plane.
Right: the five wheels are visible in the
longitudinal view of the CMS detector.}
    \label{fig:figure1}
\end{figure}
The muon detection system covers the pseudorapidity range $|\eta|< 2.4$
with detection planes based on three different technologies: drift tubes (DT), cathode
strip chambers (CSC), and resistive plate chambers (RPC)~\cite{muon_tdr}.
The DT system is located in the barrel part of the detector, extending over the range $|\eta|< 1.3$,
whereas CSCs are used in the endcaps, in the region $0.8 < |\eta|< 2.4$.
The RPC system covers the region $|\eta|< 1.6$.
Combining the measured tracks from charged
particles in the muon system with those
measured in the silicon tracker results in a transverse
momentum resolution between 1 and $\rm 5\,\%$ for transverse momenta up to
$1\, \rm ~TeV$/$c$~\cite{phys_tdr}.
The muon detector also
provides a highly efficient muon trigger.
The usage of RPCs and DTs in the barrel, and RPCs and CSCs in the endcaps,
makes the system robust and redundant.
Both the DT and CSC detectors
perform muon tracking
and participate in the Level-1 muon trigger, independently of the RPCs.

\subsection{The Drift-Tube Muon System}

The DT system consists of 240 muon chambers.
Figure~\ref{fig:figure1} shows
how the muon chambers are arranged in 12 sectors with four station types
in each of the five wheels of the CMS barrel.
The four station types are called MB1, MB2, MB3, and MB4 from inside to outside,
where MB stands for Muon Barrel.
Although the chambers of station type MB4 in sectors 4 and 10 are
physically divided in two parts, in this paper they are considered as a single unit.
In each chamber eight layers of DT cells with wires parallel to
the beam direction are arranged in two "superlayers" of four
layers each, devoted to trigger and position measurements in
the $x$-$y$ plane. With the exception of type MB4, all chambers are
equipped with an extra "superlayer" of four layers to
perform measurements along the $z$ coordinate using DT
cells with wires orthogonal to the beam direction.

Chambers are equipped with Time to Digital Converter (TDC) units,
which measure the drift time in each cell,
as well as with dedicated electronics to
perform the Level-1 trigger algorithm. For tracking purposes,
the signals recorded by the TDC
units are converted to position coordinates (called ``hits'') using the
space-time relation determined with the knowledge of the drift velocity.
In each chamber, track segments are reconstructed using a linear fit to
the hits, and are used for
the offline reconstruction of the muon tracks~\cite{localtrack}.
For triggering purposes, the DT Local Trigger
algorithm searches for aligned hits, called
trigger segments, in each chamber, using dedicated electronics and
algorithms that are independent of the TDC track fitting.

\subsection{The Drift-Tube Local Trigger}

The DT Local Trigger system and its performance are described in
detail in Refs.~\cite{trig_TDR, NIM_2004, NIM_2007}. Dedicated adjustments to the configuration of the
DT trigger were needed to provide high efficiency for cosmic ray muons, which have a
different origin, direction, and timing compared to muons
from proton-proton collisions~\cite{CRAFT-L1}.
In this section, only the main functionalities and characteristics are
summarized.
The trigger segments are found separately in the transverse plane $x$-$y$
(called $\phi$ view) and in the plane that contains the $z$ direction (called $\theta$ view).

The maximum drift time in the DT
system is almost $400 \,\rm{ns}$,
which is much longer than the $25\,\rm{ns}$ interval that separates two consecutive collisions.
Therefore, the trigger system must first associate each trigger segment to the correct bunch crossing
(BX).
For each BX the trigger system provides up to two trigger segments per chamber in the $\phi$ view, and one
in the $\theta$ view. In the $\phi$ view, each trigger segment is associated with the following quantities: the BX,
at which the corresponding muon candidate was produced;
the position and direction in the local coordinate system of the chamber; a quality word
describing how many aligned DT hits were found; and a bit flagging the segment as a
first or second candidate, ordered according to their assigned quality, for that BX.
One set of such quantities is called a ``trigger primitive''.

\vspace{-1.cm}
\begin{figure}[hbtp]
  \begin{center}

\includegraphics[width=10cm]{figure2.pdf}
\vspace{-2.cm}
    \caption{The main components of the DT Local Trigger in the $\phi$ view of a muon chamber.
The BTIs detect hit alignments within each superlayer,
the TRACOs search for a proper matching between superlayers, and the Trigger Server
selects the best two candidates in the chamber and applies a ghost-suppression algorithm.  }
    \label{fig:figure2}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

Trigger segments
in the $\theta$ view are issued if there are three or four aligned
hits in the corresponding superlayer.
The $\theta$ trigger primitive includes the assigned BX, a word defining the location in the chamber, and
its quality word.
During
LHC operation, the system in the $\theta$ view will be configured to accept only trigger segments
pointing to the interaction region. This condition was not applied for data taking with cosmic rays.

The trigger algorithm that provides the trigger primitives in the $\phi$ view
works in three logical steps that are sketched in Fig.~\ref{fig:figure2}.
For every BX, the Bunch and Track Identifiers (BTIs)
search for track segment candidates made of three or four aligned DT hits within a superlayer.
Each candidate is
processed by the Track Correlators (TRACOs), which search for a
proper angular matching
between the candidates from the two superlayers in each chamber.
TRACO candidates are then sent to the Trigger Server,
which performs a ghost-suppression mechanism and then selects for each BX
the two trigger primitives with highest quality.
The quality is defined according
to the number of aligned hits in the trigger segment.
An alignment of hits in a
superlayer is labeled ``High'' (H) or ``Low'' (L) if it includes
four or three DT hits, respectively. The quality of a trigger segment in the $\phi$ view is labeled
HH, HL, or LL if a matching (correlation), both in angle and BX, is found between
the segments of the two superlayers. In this case the trigger segments are called ``correlated''.
If no correlation is found,
and four aligned hits are detected in the inner (outer) superlayer of the chamber
(where inner and outer are defined according to their distance from the center of the CMS detector),
the segment quality is
labeled as $\rm HI$ ($\rm HO$).

The DT Local trigger is designed
for triggering on particles produced
synchronously with the bunch crossing signal.
One of the effects of the random
arrival time of the cosmic muons
is the production of spurious uncorrelated
trigger segments with wrong bunch crossing assignment.
Therefore,
to reduce the rate of such spurious triggers,
the DT Local Trigger was configured such that the presence of
a $\theta$ trigger segment was required to
accept uncorrelated H-quality
triggers in the $\phi$ view.
At the LHC,
where muons are synchronously produced with
the bunch crossing signal,
spurious triggers will be largely suppressed, so that
the trigger configuration will be relaxed
to accept also uncorrelated L-quality triggers.

The ghost-suppression
mechanism is performed
to discard additional trigger candidates
attributable to false signals (``ghosts'').
The false trigger segments mostly arise from the fact that adjacent TRACO units share a common group of DT cells,
and a hit alignment can be found twice.
The segment selection and ghost-suppression algorithms are flexible and can
be configured to match various experimental conditions, such as the presence of groups of noisy or
disconnected DT cells in a chamber.

\begin{figure}[hbtp]
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=8cm,height=8cm]{figure3.pdf}
    \caption{Definition of the $\Phi$ and $\Phi{\rm _b}$ parameters provided by the DT Local Trigger, shown
for the outermost muon chamber.
The angle $\psi$ represents the inclination of the trigger segment with respect
to the direction perpendicular to the chamber plane. The angle $\Phi$ is defined with respect to the center of the chamber.}
    \label{fig:figure3}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

The position and angle parameters of the trigger segment, named $\Phi$ and $\Phi{\rm _b}$ respectively, are
illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:figure3}, together with the angle $\psi$ that
defines the inclination of the trigger segment with respect to the direction perpendicular
to the chamber plane.
The parameter $\Phi$ is determined by the position of the
trigger segment with respect to the center of the chamber, whereas
the quantity $\Phi{\rm _b}$ is the angle between the direction of the trigger segment and the
straight line from the interaction
point to the segment position.

The data from the four Trigger Server units of every muon sector are sent to the Regional Trigger~\cite{ref_dttf},
which independently performs the matching between trigger
segments in
the $\phi$ and $\theta$ views, using two different systems: the Phi Track Finder and the Eta Track Finder,
respectively.
In the data analysed for this study the Eta Track Finder was not yet operational. The matching of segments between chambers
is performed by the Phi Track Finder using configurable look-up tables,
which define the range, in terms of position and angle,
where a valid extrapolation of a trigger segment from one chamber to another is expected.
The Phi Track Finder extrapolation mechanism was not used during the data taking with
cosmic ray muons in order to maximize the geometrical acceptance.
The Phi Track Finder processed data within one sector or two neighboring sectors, by searching
for a signal coincidence in at least two chambers. Up to four candidates,
ordered according to their transverse momenta,
are selected and forwarded to the Global Muon Trigger,
where they are combined with muon-trigger candidates from RPCs and CSCs~\cite{trig_TDR}.
During data taking with cosmic rays,
a Level-1 trigger rate of about 240 Hz was passed from the Phi Track Finder to the Global Muon Trigger.

The DT Local Trigger signals from the various chambers must arrive synchronously at the Regional Trigger,
and a dedicated synchronization procedure was developed for triggering with cosmic rays.
The time taken by the particles traversing the detector from top to bottom depends on the track incident angle,
and is approximately 50 ns for cosmic muons traversing both sectors 4 and 10.
To synchronize the DT trigger system, the latency of the trigger signals of the chambers in the upper sectors
was increased up to a maximum delay time
of 50 ns, which corresponds to two bunch crossings.
The delays for each individual chamber were obtained with data from dedicated synchronization runs by examining
the bunch crossing distribution of the trigger segments from different detector regions with respect to a
reference sector. This allowed the synchronization of all chambers to be
within a fraction of a bunch crossing,
regardless of the
direction and the position of the incoming particle.

\subsection{The Event Selection}
Unless explicitly mentioned, the results shown in this paper are obtained using
data collected with the CMS solenoid operating at $\rm 3.8\, T$.
The data were collected in periods of stable DT operation.
No requirements on the status of the other CMS detectors and their participation in the data taking
are applied to the event selection, except when explicitly mentioned.
The sample used for the analysis
corresponds to approximately 10 million events. This is large enough to make statistical uncertainties negligible
for the measurements performed.

The trigger and data acquisition are synchronized with a 40 MHz
signal replicating the LHC BX frequency.
The Level-1 Trigger signal requires the coincidence, at the same BX, of at least two trigger primitives
from two chambers of the same sector
or of two adjacent sectors.
To avoid any bias in the event selection, it is required that at least two chambers distinct from the one under investigation have provided
trigger primitives. This guarantees that the event is selected by the Level-1 Trigger
independently of the chamber under investigation.
To measure the trigger efficiency in a chamber, the presence of a
local track segment reconstructed with at least 7 out of 8 TDC hits
in the $\phi$ view is also required. The radial angle of the track segment must be in the range $| \psi | < 30^\circ$,
to stay within the TRACO angular acceptance.
To remove events with two or more muon tracks in the same chamber,
at most 12 TDC hits are allowed in the $\phi$ view of the chamber
under investigation.
The efficiency of the DT Local Trigger in the chamber is defined as the fraction of the selected events
that have an associated trigger primitive in the chamber, in the same or in any of the two adjacent BXs.
This definition of efficiency
allows the measurement of the effective net trigger capability, excluding the geometrical
acceptance and the DT cell efficiency.
This event selection is employed for the analysis described in this paper,
except where explicitly stated otherwise.

\section{Performance of the DT Local Trigger}
\label{performance}

Muons produced in LHC collisions will cross each DT chamber at a well defined time with respect
to the signal of the BX clock, with a jitter of a few nanoseconds,
due to the different path lengths in the magnetic field. The
BTI electronics will be properly synchronized with the arrival time of the particles
to perform the best hit alignment~\cite{sync, CRAFT_sync}.
However, cosmic ray muons traverse the detector at arbitrary times
with respect to the 40 MHz signal that simulates the BX clock.
Taking the signal of the BX clock as a time reference,
the BTI is configured to detect hit alignments in the most efficient way
in a time range that is about $10\,\rm{ns}$ wide.
Therefore, only muons arriving within the $\rm 10 \,ns$
time window will be correctly identified by the trigger, while
outside this time window the efficiency of the BTI to find aligned hits is degraded.

\subsection{Trigger Efficiency}

To illustrate the effect of the random arrival time of the cosmic rays on the performance measurements presented in this paper,
Fig.~\ref{fig:figure4} shows the DT Local Trigger efficiency
as a function of the arrival
time of the muon with respect to the global time reference $t_{\rm Trig}$.
The quantity $t_{\rm Trig}$ represents the value to be subtracted from the
time measured by the TDC (called $t_{\rm Digi}$) to correct for the
trigger latency and for
differences in the propagation time of the signals in the system.
The determination of $t_{\rm Trig}$ is described in Ref.~\cite{calibration}, and
it is performed by fitting the position of the rising edge of the $t_{\rm Digi}$ distribution separately in each superlayer.
The arrival time with respect to $t_{\rm Trig}$
is individually computed for every
muon and event, by performing
a linear fit to the TDC hits in the chamber. The arrival time
is a free parameter of the fit, and it is
determined, event-by-event, as the time shift
to be added to $t_{\rm Trig}$ giving the
best spatial resolution for every event by
achieving the best
track-segment fit~\cite{tzeroev}.
This shift represents the time offset at which the muon traversed the chamber with
respect to the reference time $t_{\rm Trig}$, which is the mean arrival time averaged over many events.

\begin{figure}[hbtp]
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=7cm,angle=90]{figure4.pdf}
    \caption{Efficiency of the DT Local Trigger as a function of the muon arrival time
in the chamber, defined with respect to the
$t_{\rm Trig}$ time reference. Results for a
chamber of type MB1 are shown as an example, for various types of trigger quality. }
    \label{fig:figure4}
 \end{center}
\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{fig:figure4} shows that the DT
Local Trigger efficiency is not constant
as a function of the arrival time of the particle,
in particular for trigger segments of HH quality,
but it is maximal and flat in a region approximately $10 \,\rm{ns}$ wide.
To first order, the efficiency has a periodicity of $25\,\rm{ns}$, which is the time difference
between two consecutive BXs. As the events selection requires the time
coincidence of trigger segments in at least two chambers,
uncertainties in their relative synchronization,  which was typically of the order of a fraction of
a BX during the period of data taking, can bias the measured arrival time of the muons, thus resulting in an
imperfect periodicity of the efficiency curve. The time dependence of the efficiency reflects the fact that the trigger system is optimized
for muons arriving in the time range corresponding to the
flat-top region of Fig.~\ref{fig:figure4}. For LHC operation, the trigger timing will be adjusted
so that
muons from collisions will traverse the detector within this time range.
For the tests with cosmic ray muons, however,
this results in an overall degradation of the average performance of the DT Local Trigger
compared to the expectations for the
LHC and the results with bunched-beam tests, in terms of efficiency, quality of the
trigger primitives, and BX identification.

In the $10\,\rm {ns}$ flat-top region, where the trigger system
is well synchronized with the incoming particles,
the DT Local Trigger efficiency is approximately 0.60 for triggers of HH quality,
0.90 for correlated triggers,
and 0.97 for any trigger quality.
These values are consistent with previous measurements at bunched-beam tests~\cite{NIM_2004, NIM_2007},
as well as with the technical specifications required for efficient triggering with particle collisions~\cite{trig_TDR}.

The average DT Local Trigger efficiencies obtained using all cosmic
ray muons, regardless of their arrival time with respect to the reference
time $t_{\rm Trig}$, are 0.95 for triggers of any quality, 0.80 for
correlated triggers, and 0.48 for triggers of HH quality. These values are
lower than the values reached in the plateau of maximum efficiency
shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:figure4}, where the performance of the system is optimal. They
have a spread of 0.02 among the chambers, mostly caused by the
different angles of incidence of the cosmic rays on the chambers and by
a few malfunctioning trigger devices. The few chambers with major
hardware or read-out problems are not taken into account in the
computation. These problems were fixed during the detector shutdown
at the end of 2008.

\begin{figure}[hbtp]
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=7cm, angle=90]{figure5.pdf}
    \caption{Distribution of the DT Local Trigger efficiency in the $\phi$ view of the muon chambers,
for events selected by the RPC trigger.

Results for any trigger quality and for correlated triggers
are shown. The shaded histogram represents the
results for station type MB4, for which only correlated triggers are provided.}
    \label{fig:figure5}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

The results on the DT Local Trigger efficiency are cross-checked using an independent event selection that does
not explicitly require the presence of DT hits in the chamber under study.
For this purpose, events triggered by the
RPCs are selected. In such events, muon tracks are subsequently reconstructed using the DT hits in the muon barrel and CSC hits
in the endcaps. The tracks are extrapolated along the
detector, and required to cross the chamber under study in its active region, without any
requirement on the
presence of DT hits in that chamber. The chamber is considered efficient if there
is a trigger segment in the $\phi$ view, in the same or in any of the two adjacent BXs.
In order to remain within the
geometrical acceptance of the trigger, only tracks with an angle of incidence $| \psi | < 30^\circ$ were considered.
Figure~\ref{fig:figure5} shows the distribution of the DT Local Trigger
efficiency measured for these events. Each entry
represents one muon chamber. Results are shown for any trigger quality
and for correlated triggers. Results for station type MB4, for which only correlated triggers are
provided, are shown separately. In contrast to the previously described measurement,
this definition of the DT Local Trigger efficiency includes effects of geometrical
acceptance at the edges of the chambers, cell inefficiency, dead channels, and
hardware failures. Therefore, the measured values are
on average a few percent lower than the ones previously reported.
For triggers of any quality the efficiency distribution has a maximum at $\rm 95 \,\%$.
Values below $\rm 70 \,\%$ are due to read-out or hardware problems, which have been fixed
during the detector shutdown at the end of 2008.
For correlated triggers, the efficiencies below $\rm 70 \,\%$
are related to chambers oriented vertically in the detector (sectors 1 and 7).  In this case, given the
angular distribution of cosmic rays, there is a high probability
to fail the correlation between superlayers near the edges of the chambers.
In this detector region the low efficiency is partially recovered if trigger segments of any quality are accepted,
and in this case it reaches values between $\rm 80 \,\%$ and $\rm 90 \,\%$.

The DT Local Trigger efficiency as a function of the incidence angle $|\psi|$ is also
measured, for trigger segments of any quality.
In this case the requirement on the incidence angle of the track, $| \psi | < 30^\circ$, is removed,
and the efficiency value is averaged over all chambers, with the exclusion of sectors 1 and 7.
The results, reported in Fig.~\ref{fig:figure5_2},
are in agreement with previous test beam measurements~\cite{NIM_2004}
and show that the trigger efficiency
has a constant plateau for tracks with inclination up to about $\rm 35^\circ$, and
it decreases by a factor of 2 at the maximum BTI angular acceptance of
$\rm 45^\circ$.
This corresponds, in the case of LHC collisions, to full trigger efficiency
for tracks with transverse momenta exceeding 3 GeV/$c$.

\end{figure}

\subsection{Bunch Crossing Identification}

The performance of the BX identification is measured by comparing the assigned bunch
crossing in the chamber under study, called ``trigger BX'', with respect to the BX defined by
the coincidence of the other two
trigger segments in the same sector, called  ``expected BX''.
The difference between the ``expected BX'' and the ``trigger BX'' is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:figure6} for different trigger qualities.
The data from a chamber of type MB1 in sector 4 are used as an example. The results are similar for
the other chambers in the detector. The events for which the difference between the ``expected BX'' and the ``trigger BX'' is zero
have a correct BX identification.
The distributions, normalized to unity, show that, even in the difficult environment
of cosmic rays, triggers of HH quality provide correct
BX identification in $\rm 82 \,\%$ of the cases. The distribution is affected by imperfect synchronization between the chambers during data taking.
The distribution is wider for poorer trigger quality. Because of a feature of the BTI system, the events with badly identified BX mainly populate the left-most part of the
distribution for low-quality triggers,
as they are trigger segments with wrong hit alignments that are typically produced later with respect to the correct BX.
Such triggers are significantly suppressed in the case of quality type HH.

\begin{figure}[hbtp]
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=5.2cm,angle=90]{figure6.pdf}
    \caption{Distribution of the difference between the ``expected BX'' and the observed BX
( ``trigger BX'') of the trigger segment, in one chamber of type MB1 in sector 4,
for different trigger qualities. The distributions are normalized to unity. }
    \label{fig:figure6}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

In bunched-beam tests the BX identification for trigger segments of quality
HH was close to  $\rm 100 \,\%$~\cite{NIM_2004, NIM_2007}.
In the present analysis, the degraded performance of the BX identification is explained by the
timing characteristics of the cosmic rays already discussed.
Events selected with the optimal arrival time of the muon tracks
(as discussed in section 3.1) show that
the BX identification capability for triggers of HH quality approaches $\rm 100 \,\%$, thus
matching the design expectations for proton-proton collisions.
This can be seen in Fig.~\ref{fig:figure7}, which shows the distribution
of the arrival time of the muon tracks (in the same chamber used for Fig.~\ref{fig:figure4}),
for events with a trigger segment of any quality (left) and for quality type HH (right).
The distributions for trigger segments with correct BX assignment (``expected BX'' equal to ``trigger BX'')
and wrong BX assignment are shown separately. In the region
approximately $\pm\,5 \,\rm{ns}$ wide around zero,
where the timing of the trigger system is optimized (as
discussed for the results of Fig.~\ref{fig:figure4}), the wrongly timed triggers of any
quality contribute only marginally, and they can be completely neglected
in the case of trigger segments of HH quality.

    \label{fig:figure7}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

\subsection{False Dimuon Trigger Rate}

The DT Local Trigger provides up to two trigger segments for any BX in the $\phi$ view of each chamber.
This feature was introduced to
maximize the trigger
efficiency for nearby muons. On the other hand, a ghost suppression mechanism
is implemented to reject false trigger
pairs that originate from a single muon crossing the detector. As the dimuon production rate
above any given transverse momentum threshold is expected to be approximately $\rm 1 \,\%$ of the
single muon rate at the LHC~\cite{trig_TDR},
the rate of false Level-1 dimuon triggers must be well below $\rm 1 \,\%$.
With cosmic rays the fraction of double triggers over single triggers provided in a single chamber at
the same BX, averaged over all the chambers of type MB1, MB2, and MB3, is \mbox{0.03 $\pm$ 0.01}.
The DT Local Trigger in station type MB4
provides a lower
fraction of double triggers, namely \mbox{0.012 $\pm$ 0.005}, since only correlated
trigger segments are provided by this station type.
The uncertainty reflects the observed spread of values among the various chambers, due to systematic effects
like noisy channels, or different angles of incidence of the cosmic rays.
The results are consistent with
test beam measurements~\cite{NIM_2004, NIM_2007}. The false dimuon Level-1 trigger rate in the barrel region is further
suppressed, as the matching of at least two segments in two different
chambers is required to form a trigger candidate, and as a further selection
is applied by the Global Muon Trigger. The measured false dimuon trigger rate per
chamber is significantly smaller compared to the assumptions made in
Ref.~\cite{trig_TDR}. Hence, the false dimuon Level-1 rate in the barrel region is
estimated to be below the 0.1 \% reported in Ref.~\cite{trig_TDR}, which is at least one order of
magnitude smaller than the real dimuon rate and can, therefore, be
neglected.

\begin{figure}[hbtp]
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=7cm, angle=90]{figure8.pdf}
    \caption{Left: distribution of the difference between the position of the local track segment and the trigger
segment.
Right: distribution of the difference between the incidence angle measured by the local track segment and the
trigger segment. Results are shown for a chamber of type MB1.}
    \label{fig:figure8}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Position and Angular Resolution}

The track segments obtained by fitting the TDC information in each chamber
and used for \mbox{offline} muon reconstruction
provide an accurate determination of the position and the incidence angle of the muon in the chamber
independent of the trigger output.
These quantities are compared with the corresponding information assigned by the DT Local Trigger
to the trigger segments, $\Phi$ and $\Phi{\rm _b}$. Figure~\ref{fig:figure8} (left) shows the distribution of
the difference between the position computed by the reconstructed track segment and by the trigger segment for
a chamber of type MB1 taken as an example.
The RMS of the distribution is $\rm 0.8 \, mm$. This provides
an estimate of the position resolution of the trigger segment,
which is the same for every station type.  This measurement is
in agreement with previous test beam results~\cite{NIM_2004}.
The uncertainty related to the track position measurement is neglected.

A similar study is performed on the track incidence angle $\psi$.
Figure~\ref{fig:figure8} (right)
shows the distribution of the difference
between the incidence angle of the reconstructed track and
the trigger segment.  The RMS of the distribution is 4 mrad. Taking into account the
slight reduction of the angular resolution arising from the
timing characteristics of the cosmic rays, the resolution is
in agreement with the value of 3 mrad obtained in previous test beam measurements~\cite{NIM_2004}.
The result guarantees that
the expected performance in terms
of position and transverse momentum resolution at the output of the
Level-1 trigger will be achieved for collision data taking~\cite{trig_TDR}.

\subsection{Effect of the Magnetic Field}

In station type MB1 of the
wheels
$+$2 and $-$2, the magnetic field is expected to affect the drift-path lengths
such that the
maximum drift time is increased by $\mathcal{O}$(10 ns)~\cite{Bfield}.
A variation of the maximum drift time, which corresponds to an apparent change of the drift velocity,
could degrade the DT Local Trigger performance, affecting in particular the
BX identification. A sample of approximately 5 million events collected with no magnetic field is
used to study this effect. The means of the
BX distributions determined by the
DT Local Trigger in a chamber (obtained as in Fig.~\ref{fig:figure6}) are compared for data taken
with and without the
magnetic field.

Some corrections are applied to compare the results obtained from the two data sets.
As muons are bent by the magnetic field,
the timing of the trigger signals between the various chambers and sectors
is slightly affected because of
the different path length, especially for low momentum particles.
In addition, some further adjustments in the synchronization between the various
sectors were performed between the two data taking periods. Therefore,
a direct comparison of the means of the BX distributions obtained in the two conditions is
biased by these systematic effects. As in station type MB4 the effect of the magnetic field on the drift velocity
is expected to be negligible, it is assumed that in this case
any deviation from zero observed in the difference of the BX distributions is entirely
due to the systematic effects.
Results for station type MB4 are then set to zero, separately in each sector, and the results for the other stations
are shifted by the same amount to correct for the systematic effects.

Figure~\ref{fig:figure9} shows the difference between the means of the BX distributions, with and without the magnetic field,
as a function of the wheel number for different station types, after the correction procedure described above.
The results are averaged over the various sectors, and only statistical uncertainties are shown in the figure.
Small deviations from zero are observed in all stations and wheels, and they are partially
due to the aforementioned systematic uncertainties,
which could not be completely suppressed.
The largest deviation from zero is observed in MB1, at the
wheels $+$2 and $-$2, where the magnetic field is indeed
expected to have the largest effect on BX identification.
Comparing results with and without the magnetic
field, the maximum average BX displacement
is 0.1 units of a BX, corresponding to about $3 \,\rm{ns}$.
This shift is much smaller than $25\,\rm{ns}$, which is the time between two consecutive BXs, and thus
it cannot significantly affect the performance of the trigger~\cite{Bfield}.

A study of the BX displacement as a function of the position of
the trigger candidate along the $z$ coordinate shows that the BX assignment is
fairly constant across the muon chambers, increasing at the edges
with the maximum value of $5\, \rm{ns}$, which is sufficiently small compared to $25\,\rm{ns}$.
Consequently it is possible to
configure the BTIs with the
same value of the
drift-velocity parameter in each chamber, regardless of
its location in the detector or the magnetic field.
\begin{figure}[hbtp]
\begin{center}
  \includegraphics[width=7cm,angle=90]{figure9.pdf}
  \caption{Difference between the means of the BX distributions determined by the DT Local Trigger
with and without magnetic field, in units of BX,
    as a function of the wheel number, for MB1, MB2 and MB3 station types. }
  \label{fig:figure9}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The comparison between events recorded with and without the magnetic field
is used to study the effect of the field on
the position and angular resolution of the trigger segments. The results
show that the position and direction determination by the DT Local
Trigger is not affected by the presence of the
magnetic field.
The comparison of data taken with and without the magnetic field also shows that
the magnetic field does not affect the trigger efficiency,
except in station MB1 of the wheels $+$2 and $-$2 where the fraction of correlated triggers is decreased by less than $\rm 2 \,\%$.

\section{Comparison with the Emulator}
\label{emulator}
A detailed simulation of the DT Local Trigger selection algorithm is implemented in
the CMS software framework, and is
part of the emulator program that reproduces the output of the entire Level-1 trigger.
The emulator processes the signals from the drift cells: for each cell
the difference $t_{\rm Digi} - t_{\rm Trig}$ is computed and sent as input to the emulator.
The quantity
received
as input by the trigger electronics is not exactly the same as $t_{\rm Digi} - t_{\rm Trig}$,
although its physical meaning is the same.
In fact, the BTIs
are directly linked to the wires of the DT chamber, receiving discriminated signals on
the on-board electronics, while the quantity $t_{\rm Digi}$ and the pedestal parameter $t_{\rm Trig}$
are determined by the TDCs (which have a different hardware
connection to the DT cells with respect to the BTIs) and by an offline analysis, respectively.
This makes the exact data-emulator agreement impossible by design.
Discrepancies between data and emulation, on an event-by-event comparison,
are mostly observed in the quality of the trigger primitives.
Even considering this intrinsic limitation, an event-by-event comparison shows that,
among all the trigger primitives provided by the trigger electronics,
more than $\rm 90 \,\%$ are perfectly reproduced by the emulator in all their characteristics.
If the comparison between data and emulator
is performed on a statistical basis rather than event-by-event, the differences between
data and emulator largely compensate, and the agreement approaches $\rm 100 \,\%$.
This can be seen in Fig.~\ref{fig:figure10}, which shows the comparison of the
distribution of the trigger quality for station
types MB1 and MB4.

\begin{figure}[hbtp]
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=7cm,angle=90]{figure10.pdf}
    \caption{Distribution of the quality of the trigger segments, for data and emulation,
for station types MB1 (left) and MB4 (right).}
    \label{fig:figure10}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

The emulator program assumes a perfectly working trigger system, so that any
significant discrepancy with the data is
an indication either of malfunctioning electronics or mis-configuration.
On the other hand, dead cells, high-voltage problems, noisy cells, or any other malfunctions
affecting the
presence of the digitized information from the TDCs, but
not related to the trigger devices, are
always reproduced by the emulation, resulting in a very good matching with the data.
Therefore, the emulator is a very powerful tool for use during data taking for
diagnosing problems that are related to the trigger system.

\section{Conclusions}
\label{conclusions}
The muon Local Trigger based on the drift-tube detector of the CMS experiment has been extensively tested
during the commissioning of the apparatus using cosmic rays.
Cosmic rays traverse the detector at arbitrary times and with different directions compared
to particles produced in LHC collisions, for which the muon trigger was designed.
Therefore, the system performance is degraded with respect
to the expectations for the LHC, or if compared with measurements previously
performed with bunched beams.
Nevertheless, the device
operated in a very efficient and reliable way.
An overall efficiency of $\rm 95 \,\%$ is obtained, and $\rm 48 \,\%$ of the trigger segments are of
the best possible quality.
An accurate measurement of the trigger efficiency as a function of the
timing of the system shows that, in the time
window where the trigger electronics is properly synchronized with the arriving muon,
as it will be the case
for particles produced at LHC collisions, the DT Local trigger efficiency
is $\rm 97 \,\%$ for any trigger quality.
The performance of the BX identification reaches $\rm 100 \,\%$
when a correction for the arbitrary arrival time of cosmic ray muons
is performed.
The rate of false double triggers for single muons is about \mbox{1.5--3.0 $\%$}
of the single muon triggers in one chamber.
As the coincidence of trigger segments in at least two chambers is needed by the Phi Track Finder to reconstruct a trigger
candidate, and as a further selection is applied by the Regional and the Global Muon Trigger,
the false dimuon trigger rate is expected to be at least one order of magnitude smaller than the real dimuon
rate expected from LHC collisions at any transverse momentum threshold.
The position and angular resolution of the trigger segments is $0.8 \, \rm{mm}$ and $4 \, \rm{mrad}$, respectively.
This performance allows the trigger system to achieve the
position and transverse momentum resolution needed for efficient operation with collisions.
The magnetic field has a negligible impact on the bunch crossing identification, on the position
and angular resolution, and on the trigger efficiency,
even in the detector regions where the effect should be largest.
Trigger data were also successfully cross-checked with the emulator.
Although a perfect event-by-event agreement with the data is impossible by design,
more than $\rm 90 \,\%$ of the trigger primitives are perfectly reproduced by the emulator in all their characteristics.
This makes the emulator a powerful tool for diagnosing problems related to the trigger system during data taking.

Comics, music, Youtube, boorus, Wikipedia, Finnish culture, and more. Oh, and comics. Ask Patchouli Knowledge for details.
Today I finally took the time to finish reading "Mämmilä: Kiinalainen juttu. Sarjakuvia Suomesta" by Tarmo Koivisto (ISBN 978-951-1-22917-9). I am afraid the comic is not available in English except for some short exemplary passages, such as "Room for Youth" (included in "Finnish comics annual. 2012", ISBN 978-952-5724-41-7, a compilation I only know by reputation).
Last night I watched "Gelato (Ice Cream)", the sixth episode of the first season of the "Gunslinger Girl" anime. GG is one of the best Japanese animated series I have seen so far: slow-paced when it comes to plot, but amazingly atmosphere-intensive.

Al Jazeera's journalist Mahmoud Hussein completes two years in Egyptian prison without charges, trial or conviction, on Sunday.
Hussein's detention is now in violation of both Egyptian and international law, with the former setting 24 months as the maximum period for pre-trial detention.
Egyptian authorities have repeatedly renewed his detention, most recently on December 3, for another 45 days.
Egypt has accused the Qatar-based news producer of broadcasting false news and receiving foreign funds to defame state institutions, but he is yet to be formally charged.
Hussein's detention has already breached Egypt's penal code, since he has been held for more than 620 days, the maximum period permitted for an individual being investigated for a felony, without a trial. Authorities should have either released Hussein or referred him to court.
Hussein was detained on December 20, 2016, by Egyptian authorities upon his arrival in Cairo for an annual vacation to visit his family. Three days later he was officially arrested.
It is deplorable that Mahmoud is completing two years of detention for no crime other than being an Al Jazeera journalist travelling to his home country to visit his family and loved ones.
Marking Hussein's two-year detention, Al Jazeera Media Network's Acting Director General, Mostefa Souag, said "Today is a sad day which we hoped would never happen. It is deplorable that Mahmoud is completing two years of detention for no crime other than being an Al Jazeera journalist travelling to his home country to visit his family and loved ones.
In 2013, Egypt also arrested and later imprisoned Al Jazeera's Abdullah Elshamy, Baher Mohamed, Mohamed Fahmy and Peter Greste on charges of spreading "false news", in a case that was widely condemned by international media outlets and many politicians.


Annual Giving provides an opportunity for every member of the St Mary's community to philanthropically support the School, helping to provide an exceptional education for the girls.
Your support helps us to realise more projects more quickly than can be achieved from the School's recurrent budget. Every gift, regardless of size, makes a difference to every St Mary's girl.
JUST IMAGINE WHAT YOUR GIFTS WILL MAKE POSSIBLE IN 2019 AND BEYOND.
The key to the growing success of St Mary's Annual Giving is participation. Our goal is to see every member of our community participate in whatever way they are able.
All gifts over $2 to the Scholarship Fund, Building Fund and Library Fund are tax deductible. To receive a 2018/19 tax receipt, please make your gift before 30 June 2019.
Thanks to the generosity of donors since 2014, the Annual Giving Scholarship provides the opportunity of a St Mary's education to students who would not otherwise be able to attend our school. The inaugural Annual Giving Scholar is now in her second year at St Mary's. Scholarships not only benefit each girl while she is at St Mary's, but have an enduring impact on her future, her profession, her family and community.
It is our ambition to be able to support one new needs-based scholarship recipient every year for the duration of her schooling.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE CAN OFFER MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO DESERVING GIRLS.
In the St Mary's libraries, our students are encouraged to discover, research and interpret an array of information. In particular, we want to develop and refine the information literacy skills that will enable them to become lifelong learners.
With an extensive collection of printed and online databases and resources now available to the students, the girls must be able to efficiently find the reliable and accurate information they need. Gifts to the Library Fund will provide for the purchase of three touch screens allowing students to quickly search the entire library catalogue from a central point.
Thanks to Annual Giving gifts our e-library offers the girls over 13,000 e-books and we are now focused on growing our collection of audiobooks to meet the girls' increasing interest. Audiobooks enable all students to enjoy the delights of hearing stories beautifully told and provide struggling readers with an appealing way of accessing literature and enjoying books.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE CAN ENSURE THAT OUR GIRLS HAVE KNOWLEDGE AT THEIR FINGERTIPS AND ARE PREPARED FOR LIFE BEYOND ST MARY'S.
Our music and dance programmes nurture the creativity, artistic expression and passion of our students. Hundreds of girls participate in our bands, orchestras, choirs, productions and performances each year and over 450 take private instrument lessons.
St Mary's music and dance programmes continue to grow. We now need to extend the Lady Treatt Centre for Music and Dance to provide space for music and dance classes as well as band, orchestra and choir rehearsals for Junior and Senior School girls. Donations to the Building Fund will support this expansion which includes music classrooms, music practice rooms and an additional sprung-floor dance studio. The planning of the extension is progressing, with focus of ensuring it fits within the Campus Masterplan, which is currently under development.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE CAN ENSURE THAT OUR MUSICIANS AND DANCERS DEVELOP AND SHARE THEIR TALENT, ENERGY AND CREATIVITY.
Your support will help us to encourage, challenge, grow and empower St Mary's girls so we can offer them the very best educational opportunities.


Dear friends, because I have plenty of recipes in which I use Caramel Sauce and some of you have not really understood how to do it, I thought to post the recipe separately, so that whenever you need Caramel Sauce, you know where to find it.
There are several versions of Caramel Sauce. Here I present to you my version, which is the simplest and it's made from only two ingredients: sugar and cream. You can use white, refined sugar or brown sugar. I prefer brown sugar, because it gives a better taste and a darker color to the Caramel Sauce. I recommend Demerara sugar, is the one I used in this recipe. The Muscovado sugar is very dark and it's a bit harder to melt. As for the second ingredient, I recommend the natural cream with at least 30% fat, regardless of the brand, all are good. Watch out for whipped cream instead of cooking cream or sour cream (crème fraîche) which is used in cooking. Some add butter in caramel sauce, I assure you that it is not necessary, the Caramel Sauce is thick enough without butter, and more delicate to taste.

Nick Kyrgios: Fast4, Laver Cup, ATP Cup, that's what tennis needs
by LUIGI GATTO | VIEW 1912
Tennis Interviews
In an interview, Nick Kyrgios backed the introduction of the ATP Cup in the calendar in January 2020. The Canberra native looks forward to playing for Australia possibly against the likes of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Speaking in Sydney, before competing in the Fast 4 exhibition match, Kyrgios said: "I'm super excited. When an event like this gets introduced into the calendar I'm always really looking forward to it. Just to be with the boys I grew up with ...
Thanasi [Kokkinakis], Jordan [Thompson], to see Alex [de Minaur] doing so well ... it's going be an awesome event. I know everyone on the tour wanted more of this type of stuff. For me there is nothing better than playing for your country, going out there and playing against the best players in the world.'
Kyrgios believes new events bring new excitement: 'It's the same thing every week, another tournament. The same bunch of players are winning the tournaments, there's no real mix up and this is exactly what the sport needs.
It's unbelievable to get that amount of players in Australia at that time, the start of the year. It's a great chance for people who don't follow tennis to get into it and I think that's what the sport needs at the moment.
It's exciting. All the top players are going to be here, you get behind your nation and the way Australian tennis is at the moment - we've got so much depth - so it's going to be a lot of fun to get out there with the boys.
But this was exactly what the sport needs. Otherwise it was just going to stay the same and probably die out. Events like Fast4, Laver Cup, ATP Cup, that's what it's needs. Laver Cup, that final day (last September) got more views than a grand slam final.
That's just proof that more people are interested in that type of tennis, rather than the same thing they see every day.' The Tennis Australia CEO and Australian Open Tournament Director Craig Tiley said: 'Players can play this event on the men's side and then go into the Australian Open and pretty much set up their entire year in a period of four weeks.'

Second Circuit's de Paulino Holding Sinks Parents' Request for Immediate Injunction Relief
Mar 9, 2021 | by Special Education Solutions | 0 comments
Melendez v. New York City Department of Education., Nos. 19 Civ. 2928, et al., 2020 WL 4273907, 77 IDELR 8 (S.D.N.Y. July 24, 2020), is a follow-up to Ventura de Paulino v. New York City Department of Education, No. 19 Civ. 1662, 959 F.3d 519 (2d Cir. 2020). In Melendez, parents of children with serious brain injuries asked the court for an injunction to make defendants pay the tuition at "iBrain," the school the parents unilaterally enrolled them in, for the pendency of the due process proceedings the parents initiated. The court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the cases and denied the plaintiffs' motion for immediate injunctive relief.
An earlier decision at 420 F. Supp. 3d 107 (S.D.N.Y. 2019) provides additional background, but the key facts concerned J.C., a ten-year-old who cannot walk or speak and requires a significant degree of attention and educational intervention. He was at a school named iHope for school year 2016-17, and the city department of education funded the tuition. The iHope school proposed an IEP for him for school year 2017-18 in April 2017, and J.C. continued to attend iHope during school year 2017-18. In November 2017, his parent filed a due process complaint regarding the 2017-18 school year, and asked for pendency funding at iHope, which the parent contended was substantially similar to the program identified in the last uncontested IEP issued by the department, which was dated August 29, 2016. The department did not appear for the hearing; on January 3, 2018, the impartial hearing officer granted the request for pendency funding, holding that the last agreed upon placement was being substantially implemented at iHope. The IHO denied the due process complaint on May 31, 2018, however, and the parent appealed to the state review officer.
While that appeal was pending, the parent notified the department that she was enrolling J.C. in iBrain for 2018-19 school year. J.C. enrolled in iBrain on July 9, 2018, and the parent filed a due process complaint alleging the department failed to offer J.C. a free, appropriate public education for the 2018-19 school year. The parent again sought pendency funding based on the August 29, 2016 IEP. The IHO ultimately denied the request for pendency funding at iBrain. The parent and the department then settled the appeal of the due process complaint that was filed when J.C. was at iHope. The department agreed to pay $85,000 for the tuition and services for the 2017-18 school year at iHope.
Litigation in district court began on April 2, 2019, when the parent filed a complaint alleging denial of pendency funding at iBrain for 2018-19, in violation of the stay-put provision. The court granted an injunction requiring funding at iBrain to the extent the services were similar to those at iHope and remanded the case to the IHO to address the similarity of the services and any differences in cost. The parent filed a new case seeking pendency funding for 2019-20; the court stayed that case pending the outcome of the administrative remand.
An IHO issued a new interim order of pendency for 2019-20 school year, ruling that the pendency placement was iBrain, based on the substantial similarity between iBrain's program and that at iHope during 2017-18 school year. The department sent a notice of intent to seek SRO review. The parent then filed a third district court action asking for implementation of the IHO's order. In the case the district court had remanded, an IHO issued a pendency order for school year 2018-19, and the department sent notice of intent to seek SRO review of that decision, saying it would not implement the pendency order while the appeal before the SRO was pending. The parent filed a fourth district court action, joining with other parents who unilaterally moved their children from iHope to iBrain and received pendency orders from IHOs that the department said it would not implement.
On May 8, 2020, the Second Circuit issued its decision in Ventura de Paulino, which is the subject of a previous posting on this blog. The court denied the petition for rehearing on June 22, 2020 and denied the motion to recall and stay the mandate in mid-July. The Melendez court gave the following description of the Ventura de Paulino's holding and reasoning:
In Ventura de Paulino, the Second Circuit held that "[r]egardless of whether [iBrain's] educational program is substantially similar to that offered previously at [iHope], the IDEA does not require the City to fund the Students' program at [iBrain] during the pendency of their IEP dispute." 959 F.3d at 525. This is because "when the Parents unilaterally enrolled the Students at [iBrain], the Parent did so at their own financial risk." Id. In this situation, parents can retroactively receive reimbursement from the school district once the IEP dispute is resolved, but only if they satisfy the so-called Burlington-Carter test by showing that: "(1) the school district's proposed placement violated the IDEA by, for example, denying a FAPE to the student because the IEP was inadequate; (2) the parents' alternative private placement was appropriate; and (3) equitable considerations favor reimbursement." Id. at 526–27 (internal quotation marks and citations omitted).
2020 WL 4273907, at *6. The district court agreed with the plaintiffs' argument that the Second Circuit did not reject the substantial similarity standard for appropriateness of a pendency placement, but concluded "the Second Circuit did explicitly reject Plaintiffs' assumption 'that because a school district can move a child to a new school that offers the same general level and type of services without violating the IDEA's stay-put provision, a parent is likewise authorized to invoke the stay-put provision to require the school district to pay for a new school identified by the parent so long as the new school offers substantially similar educational services.' Ventura de Paulino, 959 F.3d at 533. In other words, while the DOE can invoke the substantial similarity standard, parents—like Plaintiffs—cannot." Id.
The plaintiffs further argued that because of changes they believe occurred at iHope, that placement was so different from what it had been that the placement was effectively no longer available. The Second Circuit noted that at least one circuit has permitted injunctive relief for maintenance of a new placement when the old one was no longer available. The court responded, "These cases, as they are currently before the Court, do not present the extraordinary circumstances contemplated by Ventura de Paulino. Plaintiffs point to nothing in the record to suggest that iHope is not available or cannot provide J.C.'s pendency services. Nor have Plaintiffs made any showing that DOE has refused to provide him any pendency services at all." Id. at *7.
Thus, the plaintiffs' claims failed. The Second Circuit's holding stands, and at least one district court has now concluded that the one possible exception to its application has no validity in the cases before it.

Q: How to check the toggled-hidden state with jQuery When my ajax-call is (non-)successfull, I toggle the hidden state from  one of my three alert-div's.
$('#alert-success).toggle(':hidden');

When, after a first save, I make some more changes and save again I want the #alert-success to be reset to normal state (hidden) so it will appear again after a successfull ajax-call.
What happens now is that my #alert-success just disappears when submitting because of the .toggle(':hidden').
How can I do a reset? I tried this without success:
function resetAlerts() {
    $(document).each(function() {
        if ($('.alert').not(':hidden')) {
            $('.alert').toggle(':hidden');
        }
    })
}

So I was thinking that this .not(':hidden') only works on values loaded in the DOM and not changed afterwards. Can it be?

A: you can check if your element  .is(':visible') and then add/remove the class hidden , and in your css have: .hidden {display:none;}

A: As shown in the documentation page, here, if you want to toggle it you can just use .toggle(); without any parameter like below:

$( "button" ).click(function() {
    $( "p" ).toggle();
});

<button>Toggle</button>

Hello

Good Bye

Medical call for Seahouses Lifeboat
At 8.59pm on Thursday 10 September 2020, UK Coastguard requested the launch of Seahouses All Weather Lifeboat , to transport an ambulance crew to Holy Island.
An elderly woman had suffered a hip injury and was experiencing breathing problems. The ambulance was travelling from Alnwick, and the Causeway from the mainland was closed by the tide.
The Lifeboat was launched and took the paramedics to Holy Island by sea, where they were met by the local Coastguard Team, who conveyed them to the casualty's location. The woman was examined by the paramedic, and had also been in the care of the local coastguards till arrival of the paramedics. Due to the casualty's age and condition, it was considered that evacuation by lifeboat was not the most suitable option, and a helicopter was requested. The Coastguard Rescue Helicopter from Hull was scrambled and was soon on the scene. The casualty was then flown to the Royal Victoria Infirmary at Newcastle for treatment.
The tide was falling and by 11:10pm the Causeway was safe to cross. The Lifeboat withdrew at 11.30pm, to avoid becoming grounded by the tide at Holy Island Harbour, and returned to station where it was refuelled and rehoused by 12:50am. The ambulance crew were transported back to their ambulance at Seahouses by road by the Holy Island Coastguard team.
Seahouses Lifeboat Operations Manager Ian Clayton added, "This was a fairly straight forward task to get the Ambulance Crew to their casualty, with the assistance of the Holy Island Coastguard Team. The helicopter was certainly the best option for this casualty, and we wish her well and hope she makes a full recovery."

Jerry Greenfield of Ben and Jerry ice cream came to Portland last week for 'free ice cream day'. But in addition to the line of people who wanted a free ice cream at Pioneer square, Jerry also faced some protesters, who challenged the company's decision to maintain stores in Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land.
KBOO's Don Merrill asked Jerry about the issue while he was in town.
Jerry said, in response, "I think those people who are protesting Ben and Jerrys are doing exactly what they should be doing. I'm happy they're doing it, and it's gonna push Ben and Jerry's to find a good answer".

Q: lighttpd PHP Error: 403 - Forbidden I have been trying to configure a web server using lighttpd on Windows. After installing PHP, everytime I try to access a PHP file from the directory 'htdocs,' I get the error: '403 - Forbidden.' I have followed this tutorial to setup lighttpd: http://joshdick.net/writing/lighttpd. I have searched Google, but haven't found any good documentation on this problem. FYI: I'm pretty new to this. I have the content of my 'lighttpd-inc.conf' file here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A: There are a lot of things this could be.  For instance, if you are using FastCGI on Windows there may be an issue (they don't play nice).  It could be as simple as your folder permissions (in Windows) don't allow access to this folder.  However, after trying to look over your .conf file (the lack of line breaks makes it a bear to read), I have a place you could start looking.
It looks like you are referring to the path to htdocs improperly.  For example, this line here:
server.document-root = "HTDOCS/"

I don't think that path will work properly.  Usually you have to have a "/HTDOCS/" style path.  There are a number of lines like this throughout your file.  Here is a link to some documentation on this:
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/1/server.document-rootdetails

A: Your cgi/fcgi to your php is not configured correctly. CGI or FCGI is the glue that binds PHP and lighttpd together.
check your lighttpd error.log
it will state something like:
(mod_fastcgi.c.1397) [ERROR]: spawning fcgi failed.

i use:
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
                     "bin-path" => "/bin/php-cgi",
                     "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket",
                     "max-procs" => 1,
                     "bin-environment" => (
                       "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "16",
                       "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000"
                     ),
                     "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable"
                 )))

make sure that fastcgi is enabled in modules.conf
server.modules = (
  "mod_access",
